'Starlet': Witness the Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship — EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
Why do so many movies take place in Los Angeles? Yes, it's the epicenter of the movie business, but beyond that, it's a breeding ground for relationships. L.A. is a town full of out-of-towners, people who have migrated to the sprawling metropolis for an endless list of reasons. People of different ages, colors, creeds, and personalities congregate in the town and instantly mesh. It doesn't always go well, but it happens.
Starlet is that type of story, chronicling the unlikely friendship between 21 year-old aspiring actress Jane (Dree Hemingway) and elderly widow Sadie (Besedka Johnson). In this exclusive clip from the film, we see the two first cross paths — a non-dramatic meeting at a yard sale that happens to set them off. Director Sean Baker plays things simply, and the result is an honest portrayal of a chance friendship in a place defined by those very encounters.
Check out the clip for Starlet below. The film opens in New York on Nov. 9th.

The Miami Heat visited Boston last night and won a playoff game that took place in the regular season. Game #66 for both teams. The Heat won their 23rd straight game. Meanwhile, the Celtics are in a tug-of-war for home court advantage with five teams. As you may have heard, Miami is currently on the second longest streak in NBA history. Only the 1971-72 Lakers, who won an insane 33 straight games, are ahead of them. Miami's current run dwarfs the 2008 Celtics' mark of 18 consecutive wins, and will make NBA fans forget about the Los Angeles Clippers' 17-game-run this past December. In fact, for a team that took the league by storm in December, the Clippers have been struggling to hang onto the 3rd seed in the West now that Denver and Memphis have hit their own strides. What does this tell us? In case we needed reminding, the 82-game regular season has its ebbs and its flows. It also tells us every team is not accurately measured by its current record, despite Bill Belichick's oft-repeated platitude.
Thirty games without Avery Bradley and with a physically and psychologically-recovering Jeff Green are not thirty games with these Celtics, that should be clear. Whatever anyone else wants to say about these Boston Celtics, they are capable of playing toe-to-toe, foot-to-foot, and hip-to-hip against these Miami Heat. If they meet again in the postseason, no matter the round, the series should last at least six games, and no team will push Miami harder than these Celtics, with the possible exception of the Indiana Pacers.
The game itself lived up to the expectations. Not only did the Heat enter on this historic streak, but the game was a rematch of last year's seven-game Eastern Conference Finals. Boston and Miami played a memorable overtime thriller at the end of January, in which the Celtics pulled out a 100-98 win. You might remember it as "The Game That We Found Out About Rondo's Knee." This game was equally memorable. The crowd was electric, buzzing from the opening tip, which was fittingly taken by Jeff Green in Kevin Garnett's absence. Garnett missed his second straight with a strained adductor muscle (inner thigh) as well as the flu. In his absence, Jeff Green unleashed himself from the opening tip, and put on a show that should give Celtics fans reassurance about the post-Garnett era in Boston.
After missing his first look, a 25-footer from the top of the key (not his sweet spot, which is the left corner), Green simply took flight. The Heat are using LeBron at the power forward this year, a key reason for their dominant defensive season, which creates match-up nightmares for opponents trying to defend LeBron with their typical 4-men. Playing the power forward position in place of Garnett, Green was defended by a combination of players not named Lebron, who was given the assignment of making life impossible for Pierce. Spoelstra was effectively daring Green to have a career night with Garnett out, and Green answered with a resounding, "Bring it!"
Green's performance last night might accurately be described as: inspired, otherworldly, magnificent, ridiculous, assertive-yet-controlled, hyper-focused, devastating, and wonderful.
Few players are able to drop in 43-points within the flow of the offense, but that is what Green did. Like Steph Curry's 54-point barrage on the Knicks with David Lee on the sideline, Green filled in for Garnett's absence by necessity. Listening to the persuasive voice of Doc Rivers, Jason Terry, Paul Pierce and finally, himself, Green took on the challenge and took his assertiveness to a new level. Like LeBron, who can guard multiple positions and create match-up problems on offense, Green has the versatility to stretch the floor from the corner against slower power forwards and the slashing ability and length to get to the rim against teams that lack an interior presence. An example from earlier this season of Green's ability to take over a game: 31 points on 14 shots against the Suns, in addition to 5 blocks and 2 steals.
On this occasion, Green finished with 26 first-half points, his corner three setting up defiant drives to the hoop. Hubie Brown, whose commentary for ESPN is worth paying attention to, noted Green's ability to avoid charge-calls, a Miami defensive strength, while swooping toward the iron. As the shot chart shows, Green finished 9 of 14 from the paint, and connected on all four corner triples. In addition, he shot 10 of 13 from the line.
What came along with the efficient scoring (43 points on only 21 attempts) was a defensive effort that matched LeBron's. Green swatted four shots including a sensational outstretched deflection of a Battier corner jumper, which highlighted Green's wing-span. This was a play that only a handful of NBA players could make, as it demands the lateral quickness to rotate and the length and jumping ability to get to a high-arcing three at a point over ten feet off the ground. This swat, in addition to Avery Bradley's miraculous come-from-behind block of Norris Cole's breakaway dunk attempt, was most certainly replay-worthy.
You may be thinking, "But we lost!" And you're right, the Celtics lost, and lost painfully. The Heat defense wore them down in the 4th quarter, and they couldn't hold a 13-point lead with 8:26 remaining in the game. When LeBron single-handedly cut the lead to 4 (96-92) with 5:33 left, we were all reminded who the best player on earth currently is. When Avery Bradley, who had a miserable game, finally hit a corner 3 with 1:49 left to put the Celtics up 2 (103-101), there was still hope. When Green's drive to the rim was blocked by the equally-long Shane Battier, the C's still had a shot. When Pierce's 3-pointer went long with 4 seconds left, it was over, deflating, all-for-naught. Except not for naught. Green's performance should give us hope. Not just for this season, but for the next few seasons as well.
All Celtics fans have a measure of uncertainty about what to expect in the future, when KG and the Truth exit the parquet for one final time. Some fans are so terrified of that future, they pushed for a deadline trade this year. While Rondo's future has been discussed more than I think it needs to be (can't we be happy that we have such a luxury—a pure point guard with an uncanny knack for rebounding and playing his best in big games?), and Sullinger's back may always be questionable, Green's status as a Celtic until 2016 should be a certainty, especially now that we've seen him leap that final, psychological hurdle that allows him to unleash this kind of energy without fear of the contact that driving to the rim draws. Will he have some off days? Yes? Will he be able to sustain this kind of intensity over 82 games? No. But does he have the potential to win a playoff game by himself? Possibly. And that's more than most non-maximum contract players can say.

Niners line must contain Bucs
The Niners offensive line must stop the Buccaneers from pummeling Jeff Garcia.
Updated: October 17, 2003, 2:58 PM ETBy By Darrell Trimble | NFL Insider
QB Jeff Garcia has been getting hit harder than a hanging curveball this season because the Niners offensive line has suffered from a lack of cohesion due to injuries. The problem could be remedied with healthy bodies returning to the offensive front, but that's not going to happen this week.
LT Derrick Deese and LG Eric Heitmann are listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, meaning rookie T Kwame Harris and second-year G Kyle Kosier will be responsible for keeping Garcia safe from the backside rush. Harris, who has struggled, will be going against NFL sack-leader Simeon Rice, who is one of the premier defensive ends in the league.
Jeff Garcia might not fit into Dennis Erickson's plans.
The Niners have two viable options to deal with this problem. They can perform a clandestine voodoo ritual to limit Rice's effectiveness (a tactic that failed when used by many baseball fans in Chicago and Boston over the past few weeks), or they could move Garcia to create a pocket of safety instead of one that collapses.

One of Sony's key franchises over the last five to six years has been the God of War series created by David Jaffe. This past March, the final piece of the trilogy was released to retail shelves in the form of God of War III.
The title has been nothing but a huge success both in the form of critical acclaim and in sales. Speaking at the MI6 conference, Sony's VP Of Marketing Peter Dille announced that God of War III has sold over 1 million copies within just a couple of days of release. This is a great accomplishment for first party developers on Sony's console and should probably be enough to be the top selling game of March on console. I'd say overall, but come on, they released a Pokemon game, right?
All of the statistics will be released next week on April 8th and you can expect Pokemon, Final Fantasy XIII and God of War III to lead the way in software sales.

SCOTLAND'S kids wasted a great opportunity to get their Elite Group in England off to a perfect start after captain Adam King missed a second-half penalty against Ukraine.
Ricky Sbragia's side dominated much of the encounter at Burton Albion's Pirelli Stadium, but the game finished goalless. The Scots scorned a host of chances with Dundee United starlet Ryan Gauld particularly guilty.
But it was the United youngster who won the Scots a spot kick when he was tripped in the box. However, the penalty taken by Swansea City King's was tame and easily saved.
Loading article content
Now the Scots must raise their game when they face England tomorrow at the same venue, with the hosts opening their campaign with a 6-0 slaughtering of Montenegro.
Scotland missed a great chance in the 18th minute when Cammy Smith's cross was flicked on by Denny Johnstone, Liam Henderson left the ball for Gauld with only the keeper to beat, but the Dundee United wonderkid's effort was weak and straight at the keeper from 10 yards out.
Celtic striker Johnstone forced a save from Pidkivka and Gauld came close to making amends when he took hold of the rebound and skipped through only to be denied by a diving save from the busy Ukrainian keeper.
Scotland nearly paid for those misses before the break when Yevhen Chumak's free kick whizzed just wide before Roman Yaremchuk hit the post with a cross and Maksym Banasevych somehow volleyed the rebound wide right in front of goal.
Scotland spurned the best chance of the lot eight minutes after the break when King missed the penalty after Gauld was tripped by Pavlo Lukyanchuk as he darted into the box.
Scotland: Fulton; Sinnamon; Souttar, Hyam, McKenna; Henderson, Smith (Nicholson 66), Lindsay; King, Johnstone (Cardwell 46), Gauld.
Ukraine: Pidkivka; Kacharaba, Lukyanchuk, Polehenko, Tkachuk; Tankovskiy, Chumak (Kovalenko 61), Radchenko, Yaremchuk; Kharatin, Banasevich (Biesiedin 61).
Referee: M Gil (Spain).

International Remittances – A proposal how to test hypotheses about determinants of remittances with macroeconomic time series
We study the determinants of remittances to developing countries at different time horizons. Remittances to developing countries nowadays exceed official development assistance and constitute a significant fraction of the disposable income of many households in developing countries. Different hypotheses suggest that remittances are often sent to compensate for low incomes, which may impose a downward bias when estimating their effects on the economic development (e.g. growth, poverty and consumption) in recipient countries. Two popular hypotheses about the causes of remittances are the altruism and insurance hypothesis. Both hypotheses suggest that remittances are sent to compensate for short-run economic declines, but the altruism hypotheses also predict that remittances should diminish gradually over time as the economic development in the receiving countries proceeds and the need for outside assistance decreases. Hence, the altruism hypothesis predicts a negative correlation between the economic conditions in the receiving countries and remittances in the long-run and the short-run, while the insurance hypothesis only predicts a negative relationship in the short run. We can thus test which hypothesis that is best supported the data by studying the correlation between remittances and consumption in receiving countries at different time horizons. For this purpose we use a macroeconomic panel with consumption and remittances data from 50 low and middle income economies between 1980 and 2006. We estimate Keynesian consumption functions with GDP and remittances per capita as explanatory variables for the full panel and for different subpanels. The data is decomposed into different time horizons using a maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform. We are not aware of any study which uses similar econometric techniques to test different hypotheses about the underlying causes of remittances. Our evidence predominantly supports a negative long-run relationship, which favours the altruism over the insurance hypothesis.

Two-time Academy Award® winning director Frank Borzage (1927, Best Director, 7th Heaven) directed this astounding drama, which must be ranked among the greatest of all anti-war allegories. Adapted by Jo Swerling (Capra's The Miracle Woman) from Ferenc Molnar's famed novel The Paul Street Boys, it centers on a group of small kids who literally go to war against a gang of older boys over who has the "right" to play in an abandoned lumber yard. Photographed by Joseph August (Oscar® nominated for 1948, Best Cinematography, Portrait of Jennie), whose rich, gorgeous images serve to contrast idyllic beauty against the boys' single-minded purpose. The mostly youthful cast is headed by George Breakston, Jackie Searl and the great Frankie Darro (Wild Boys of the Road), with Ralph Morgan, Samuel Hinds and Lois Wilson among the briefly-seen adults.

As we celebrate Easter and Christ's empty tomb, we recognize that Calvary changes everything! Through Christ's victory over death we not only receive forgiveness for sin, but if that were not enough, integral to the good news of the cross we also receive peace with God and also with one another.
Those who are far away are brought closer to God, and at the same time we are also brought closer to one another! Once we were estranged, not only from God, but also from each other, (Jews and Greeks, slaves and free, women and men). But through Christ we receive unity, mutuality, and reconciliation. In fact, Paul tells us in Ephesians 2 that as part of our spiritual rebirth, we are inducted into that new race, that new body of believers with Christ as our head.
His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity

I love reading posts about quilts that were made 100 years ago, more or less, and what little the quilters had in the way of supplies.
We have so much today--rulers, rotary cutters, beautiful fabric, die cutters, computerized sewing machines, etc., that our foremothers couldn't even dream of.
Look into the future--what do you think our great or great great grandchildren will have to use to make their quilts in 100 years?

Smoking rates in Victoria have dropped below 15% for the first time, according to new research released today.
The research, released by Cancer Council Victoria today, shows 14.4% of Victorians were regular smokers in 2011 compared to 21.2% in 1998.
Young people are also getting the message about the dangers of smoking with adults aged 18 to 29 no longer the age group with the highest proportion of regular smokers. In 2011, more than half of Victorian adults aged under 50 had never smoked.
According to the 2011 Smoking Prevalence and Consumption in Victoria report:
Cancer Council Victoria Chief Executive Todd Harper said the drop in smoking rates was proof that investment in tobacco control activity has a positive impact on reducing smoking rates.
"We have gone through a period of significant action and tobacco reform over the last five years with increases to the price of cigarettes, constant exposure of smokers to anti-smoking messages on television and an impressive expansion of smoke-free areas," he said.
"If such a strong commitment to reducing smoking in Victoria is continued then there is no doubt that smoking rates could drop even further in the years ahead."
Quit Victoria Executive Director Fiona Sharkie cautioned that despite such tremendous progress in tobacco control there was no room for complacency, adding that if momentum is not maintained smoking rates could potentially creep up again.
"Nearly 4,000 Victorians die every year from smoking-related illnesses, more than twice the combined annual toll from alcohol, drugs and car accidents," he said. "Tobacco control must remain a public health priority if we are to tackle Australia's smoking toll and prevent young people from taking up this deadly habit."

TALLAHASSEE -- Just weeks after getting bogged down in a controversy about religion in schools, the Florida Senate yesterday approved a massive overhaul of the state's education laws.
Senators passed the 1,800-page bill after agreeing to a compromise that calls for sending updated information to school districts each year about religious activities that are allowed at public schools.
A special legislative session blew up in early April when the Senate objected to a House plan that would have listed those activities, such as prayer and Bible reading, in the laws. Senate critics argued that the list should not be chiseled into law because of often-changing court decisions.
House education chief Jerry Melvin, R-Fort Walton Beach, said he supports the compromise and expects the House to pass the education overhaul as soon as tomorrow.
"I'm just hopeful that we can just pass it like it is and let it go," said Melvin, chairman of the House Council for Lifelong Learning.
The 27-7 Senate vote was the first major step in a special session that started Monday. Gov. Jeb Bush called the two-week session to pass the school-law changes, approve a $49 billion budget and take up a series of other issues.
Lawmakers drafted the 1,800-page bill, in part, to help carry out a reorganization of the state's education system that started in 1998 when voters approved a constitutional amendment that created a new state board of education and ended the elected job of education commissioner.
Most of the bill is technical and non-controversial, updating and clarifying laws that can be decades old. The biggest controversies, however, stemmed from the religion issue and part of the bill that said school boards could allow students to keep guns in locked cars. The Senate also removed the gun language yesterday, and Melvin said the House will go along.
Despite agreement on the religion and gun issues, some Democrats continued to criticize the overall bill. Sen. Betty Holzendorf, D-Jacksonville, said she objected to taking power away from local school boards, such as the power to reject charter schools.
"That is disturbing," said Holzendorf, who spoke against the bill but was not in the Senate chamber at the time of the vote. "Because when something goes wrong, we're going to blame the superintendent and the school board."
But Sen. Don Sullivan, R-St. Petersburg, said it was an "absolute distortion" to argue that bill takes control away from local communities.

Covenant Health System will host a presentation on "Shopping by Numbers: Nutrition Made Easy," from 9-10 a.m. March 26 at the Knipling Education Conference Center, 21st Street and Louisville Avenue.
The presentation will be delivered by Tyra Carter, corporate dietitian for United Supermarkets. Carter will discuss the NuVal Nutritional Scoring System and its implementation at United Supermarkets. The NuVal System scores food on a scale of 1-100. A score on the upper end of the scale equals a higher nutrition value.
The nutritional value score is placed directly on the packages of food on store shelves. United Supermarkets plans to have the NuVal System active at all of its locations by the end of 2010.
The presentation is part of a free series called "Your Heart Matters" and is open to the community. A continental breakfast and free parking will be provided for participants.

Sure, I told a mod to close this thread "if he cannot prove it". If he can prove it and the thread is opened, good for him.
FYI, I did not ask him to fix the problem. I just told him what happened when I used it. In fact, before flashing this I made a backup in case sh!t happens. And it so happens that there's something wrong. So I restored my backup, with that mod out of the system.
So before you start ranting down here accusing me of all these, you might want to open your eyes wider and READ what I say. And please do take some English classes. Apparently you do not seem to understand what I am writing in these posts. It's really that simple.
Kid, xda wasn't an english class, u write anything, anyone catch it & respond, that's it...even if actually ur english maybe better from me.. u're a funny boy...
Of cuz that's so simple, ur naive which makes it complicated.. Why should u used something u wanted it to be unexist? If u didn't want it, just skip it..,why should be busy to report to mods... are u an activist?
Lol u need to be honest to ur self & this is even a development though it still maybe comes with bugs.
Why not just supported it or if u don't like just skip it?
Or maybe u could do something better than op? Just prove it kid..

I've been looking everywhere for another boy name to add to my favorites. The names I have now are Dashiell "Dash", Isabeau, Adair, and Reverie. I liked Tarquin and Quintus, but I'm afraid that they don't go with the others. What do you think?

How do folks like to package up QuickCheck tests for their libraries? In the main library? As a separate repo & package? Same repo & separate package? Keeping tests with the tested code allows testing of non-exported functionality, but can add quite a lot of clutter.

I have QuickCheck properties plus HUnit tests, but I think the question is the same. For me, it's in the same repository and shipped with the package source. I think that if you ship source (even via Hackage), you should also ship tests. So, if somebody wants to modify the source, they can run the tests. And making it convenient to test is very important, so I have "cabal test" (or "runhaskell Setup.hs test" without cabal-install) configured to run the tests. I don't think tests should (in general) be part of the user-visible API, so I have them external to the module hierarchy.

Testing non-exported functionality without exporting the test interface seems difficult in general. Is there a way to hide part of a module interface with Cabal? Then, you could have a 'test' function exported from each module for testing but hidden for release.

My current leaning is to split a package "foo" into packages "foo" and "foo-test"

What benefit does this provide?

Thanks,
Sean

Sun Archives
- Never spoil a good party with talk of a recession (8-29-2008)
- Bridge over troubled water (5-24-2008)
Beyond the Sun
Former owners of Lake Las Vegas are striking back against the Henderson community's new owners, accusing the group of shortsightedness for planning to close one of the resort's three golf courses.
Transcontinental Corp. Senior Vice President John Plunkett and former Lake Las Vegas Marketing Director Cary Krukowski say plans by the owners to abandon Falls Golf Course, an 18-hole Tom Weiskopf-designed layout next to the resort's entrance, will haunt the community.
Plunkett said the new owners, Lake Las Vegas Joint Venture, a subsidiary of the Atalon Group, should keep the resort intact on the expectation that the economy will recover and interest in the development will return.
A hearing on the abandonment is scheduled for Monday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Plunkett told the Sun he is concerned by the direction of the new management. "When you start yanking apart the resort, it loses its cohesiveness and it loses its value. It can be another tract community, and that's not what anybody out there intended ... Based on what I am seeing, the current creditors and management are looking to (hoard) land ... In my view, they are shooting themselves in the foot."
The new owners say Falls Golf Course is projected to lose more than $1 million from last August to next July. Carmel Land & Cattle Co. is the principal lender with a lien on the property securing $15 million in debt, but the property is worth far less than that, according to Lake Las Vegas President Frederick Chin, founder of Atalon.
He said the decision to close the golf course was made after a thorough analysis, including examining the repercussions. With the economy having worsened since Lake Las Vegas entered Chapter 11 in July, the Falls is bleeding cash with no reasonable expectation of a change of circumstance, and there is no financing to continue funding operations and maintenance, Chin said.
No creditors have offered to advance any amount toward the Falls' operating shortfall — a lack of commitment that "speaks volumes about the value and importance they truly ascribe to the Falls," he said.
Plunkett worries that Lake Las Vegas also will abandon Reflection Bay Golf Course. Chin said no decision has been made.
"We want to see the golf course running, but we have an obligation to protect creditors," Chin said. "We can't continue to spend money and not have an upside for the estate."
It's been nearly a year since investment bank Credit Suisse foreclosed on the master-planned community developed by Transcontinental after it defaulted on a $540 million loan. Transcontinental executives are monitoring the development because it still has a 46 percent stake in the Ritz-Carlton and other land holdings and interests at Lake Las Vegas. Its executives also own homes there.
The Atalon Group served as the chief restructuring officer for the previous owners before striking a deal in January with Credit Suisse to acquire the 3,592-acre community. Lake Las Vegas Joint Venture filed for bankruptcy protection in July.
In trying to restructure its loans with the creditors, Transcontinental waived its right to bankruptcy protection because that would have generated negative publicity that could have harmed the resort, Plunkett said. Executives now regret doing so because that's what happened when they departed, he said.
"We don't understand the decision they made to go down the bankruptcy route anyway," Plunkett said. "And I do feel had we known it was going to go down this route, we would have taken that route ourselves. In our view nothing has been done to stabilize the resort. It has been a series of sideshows — motions to disqualify attorneys and abandoning operating assets that are critical to the resort. I fail to understand that."
Chin said his job is to recover for the creditors as much as possible by prudently spending money.
"My concern has always focused on the overall community and more specifically, the assets that are part of the community and of the bankrupt estate," Chin said.
Plunkett maintains the resort can still have a bright future.
"Let's face it. It is a one-of-a-kind asset," Plunkett said. "Where can you get a 300-acre lake in the middle of the desert? ... We still view Lake Las Vegas as a pristine beautiful place to live, and we hope the direction is to maintain that."
A version of this story appeared in this week's In Business Las Vegas, a sister publication of the Sun.

Fletcher, Cuellar & Sessegnon (Golazo) see Sunderland to 3-1 win at 10-man Fulham
Fulham 1 – Sunderland 3 (Premier League, November 18, 2012) (Alternative highlights.) Fulham were reduced to ten men when Brede Hangeland saw red for a tackle on Lee Cattermole.

Substitute Mladen Petric equalised for Fulham on 62 but seconds later it was 3-1 as Carlos Cuellar restored the Sunderland advantage. Stephane Sessegnon made it 3-1 with a cracking effort.

Conspiracy of Brothers: A True Story of Bikers, Murder and the Law (Paperback)
To coincide with Random House Canada's publication of the groundbreaking book Unrepentant by Peter Edwards and biker Lorne Campbell, Vintage Canada updates and reissues the award-winning true crime classic that tells the complete and scandalous story in the most gut-wrenching chapter of Campbell's life. You can't read one without wanting to read the otherOn the night of October 18, 1978, small-town biker Bill Matiyek was having a drink in a Port Hope bar. A gunman suddenly walked up and fired 3 bullets into his head. Members of the rival bike club Satan's Choice, who were in the bar, quickly vanished. Was it a cold-blooded gangland-style execution, as the Crown Attorney and police would argue, or the compulsive act of a single gunman? Was the trial that followed driven by persistent police work or a police frame-up? Did the bikers conspire to murder or did the law conspire to convict them? Guilt by association, unreliable eyewitness testimony, suppression of evidence, botched police procedures--call the results justice or call them revenge, the question remains: Who really killed Bill Matiyek, and why?

BMR drivers aiming to improve.
The NASCAR K&N Pro Series East heads to Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Virginia on Saturday for the Biscuitville 125 – the second of two back-to-back road course events on the circuit.
Bill McAnally Racing drivers Cole Custer and Nick Drake are each aiming for career-best road course finishes as the series completes its third consecutive week of competition.
Custer (in photo), who drives the No. 00 NAPA AUTO PARTS/HAAS Automation entry, finished 19th at VIR a year ago and then closed out 2013 at Road Atlanta with a fifth-place finish, his top mark on a road course.
A bid for his first road course win came up just short at Watkins Glen on Friday, as he made his move for the lead coming to the checkered flag and skidded off course. The incident resulted in a 16th-place finish.
Drake, in his rookie season in the series, came away from Watkins Glen with a top-10 finish in his No. 15 NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota – despite struggling with an ailing transmission. He will be making his first visit to the 2.25-mile Virginia track.
NASCAR Next
Custer is a member of the NASCAR Next program, which spotlights NASCAR's rising stars. The 16-year-old from Ladera Ranch, California is competing in select events in the East and West divisions of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series this year and is also racing a limited schedule in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series – where in June he became the youngest driver in the series to win a pole.
He won the K&N West season opener at Phoenix International Raceway in February and scored a K&N East victory at Richmond (Virginia) International Raceway in April. In 19 career starts in the K&N East, Custer has three wins, two poles, seven top-five and eight top-10 finishes.
Drake, 18, of Mooresville, North Carolina, is second in the standings for the Sunoco Rookie of the Year Award and eighth in the overall championship standings. He has one pole, three top five and seven top-10 finishes in 13 K&N East starts this season, with a career-best series finish of second overall in East-West combination race at Iowa Speedway in May.
The Biscuitville 125 marks just the second visit by the series to Virginia International Raceway. It is the 14th event on a 16-race schedule.

Jayon Brown has two offers and other than that the Long Beach (Calif.) Poly linebacker said he isn't hearing from many schools.
"Colorado and Colorado State and that's pretty much it," Brown said.
Those two programs have offered Brown, a 6-foot-1, 195-pound three-star linebacker who looked good last weekend at the NIKE Air Strike tournament at Dana Hills.
Article Continues Below
Brown said he's had good conversations with Colorado run game coordinator and linebackers coach Brian Cabral but he's not ready to commit yet.
The Long Beach Poly standout said he'd like to wait a little while into his senior year to see which other programs get involved in his recruitment and he wants to talk to some other coaching staffs.
"I think I'm going to take a visit to Colorado during our bye week in the season," Brown said.
"It means a lot that they offered. I like the program and the linebacker tradition there.
"I talk to coach Cabral every week. It's been positive. He tells me how good the school is, the weather and what they're trying to do to build up the team to advance."
But Brown wants to remain patient.
At a recent 7on7 tournament, Brown said he's been hearing from Utah, Washington State and some others so he wants to wait a while to see if his recruitment picks up.
"I'm just waiting to see who else comes in," Brown said. "I want to meet some coaching staffs, too."

Tracy McGrady is likely going to end up getting traded at some time in the next seven months -- maybe in a sign-and-trade deal after he become a free agent July 1, maybe at the trade deadline in mid-February, or maybe even sooner.http://www.hoopsworld.com/HeadlineSt...17#STORY_23160But what is killing the Knicks' chances of landing McGrady, who would be a panacea for them next summer when they plan to be major players on the free agent market, is their insistence that Jared Jeffries
be included in any deal with the Rockets.
I think T-Mac would do well in NYC. Thoughts?

Pantone's 2012 color of the year, was selected because, "there's the element of encouragement with orange, it's building on the ideas of courage and action, that we want to move on to better things. I think it would be a disservice to go with a relaxed, soothing color now," Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, told the Associated Press.
2011 was Honeysuckle (that looks like medium pink to me :)
2010 was Turquoise, I love all the shades of turquoise, blues, aquas.
2009 was Mimosa
2008 was Iris Blue
So there you have it! Not much of a post but it is fun to look back and see what the trends were. And I'm sure this new color is a big deal to many companies :)
Hope you are enjoying the last week of 2011! I put up almost all Christmas decorations today. What are you doing... Anything fun?

I've had a really annoying skin complaint that seems to have lasted the last 20 or so weeks and doesn't show any signs of going away. It's not itchy or sore, just unslightly. It's a light rash that appeared quite early on in my pregnancy, and it's located underneath my right arm, sometimes extending from the shoulder all the way down to the armpit, sometimes just a little bit under the arm, where my bingo wings reside.
It's very annoying, as it always seems to be there, no matter how slight. It becomes worse when I'm stressed or tired, but seems to ease when I apply E45 cream, or, when it's quite bad, calamine lotion.
Anyway, you don't really want to hear about my yucky skin conditions, do you? Thought not. My point is that after researching high and low on what it could be and why it won't budge, I have since discovered that, surprise surprise, existing skin conditions can get worse and/or persist when you are pregnant. This goes for those horrors like eczema and psoriasis as well as other dermal nasties that some of us have to live with. It's not really surprising though, given that the skin is our bodies' largest organ, and that pregnancy hormones can and do affect all our bodies in weird and wonderful ways. I mentioned a while back that tanning becomes easier due to increased melanin production, so it goes that rashes and the like can also get worse.
Whilst I've been lucky enough to avoid it so far, one of the most common pregnancy skin complaints is PEP – "polymorphic eruption of pregnancy" (nice name, huh?). This is essentially down to your skin stretching and usually affects the bump in the last few weeks when it is at it largest. It starts in the stretch marks and causes raised and red areas that are very itchy. Your doctor can prescribe an antihistamine to relieve it, or steroid cream. Some people also swear by an oatmeal bath (put some oats in an old pillowcase and run warm water over it in the tub), which is also quite good for very dry skin.
As for my rashes, I guess I should count myself lucky it's not PEP, and just resign myself to enduring it for the next few months and hope it goes away once our little joy bundle arrives.
Did you or do you have any annoying skin issues during pregnancy? What remedies did you use to ease them?

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser, Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. All opinions are my own. #SummerOfFloats
When I think of summer, I think of warm days by the pool, cold drinks, good food and amazing memories. Summer is definitely here and it's time to play, eat good food and enjoy delicious drinks! One of the many great things about having kids is experiencing your favorite childhood memories with them. One of my favorite childhood memories is drinking a delicious ice cold ice cream float. How much fun is it when your child finds what you found fun way back when the dinosaurs roamed? That's what my kids say when I refer to when I was a child. Among the many things I love to re-experience with my kids, I love to share the yummy foods and drinks I enjoyed when I was little during this time of the year.
I remember when I would play a great game of soccer and my team would celebrate by heading to the nearest diner. My favorite thing to get at these diners were ice cream floats with Dr Pepper®. They were so good and really made everything so much more special. Fast forward to the present time, and you will find out not only is the Dr Pepper® still around, but they now have a cherry flavored soda. My kids love cherries and love their Dr Pepper®, so I was super excited to share with my kids my over the top way of enjoying my favorite flavored float.
I have peanut lovers and non-peanut lovers in my home, so I shared how to create this deliciously over the top Dr Pepper® Cherry Float with and without the peanuts.
Every recipe starts with a trip to one of our favorite stores, Target. We shop here so often that the kids know exactly which aisle to go down to be able to get their favorite soda and ice cream. To snag our delicious Dr Pepper® Cherry soda, we head over to the soda aisle and pick up a 12-pack and a few 2 liters. Next, we find our ice cream of choice, which today, was the Archer Farms 48 oz Ice Cream. The kids love their "fancy" flavors which go great with their "fancy" over the top float. The possibilities are endless with the ice cream pairings you can get with this recipe using the Archer Farms Ice Cream.
Now is one of the best times to take advantage of some great deals at Target for a ton of your favorite sodas. Right now you can load a 5% OFF 2L or Mini Cans of A&W®, Sunkist®, 7UP®, Canada Dry®, Dr Pepper®, and more to your Cartwheel. This offer is available from 6/26-7/30. You can also take advantage on a stock-up offer for some Archer Farms Ice Cream to make the most of your floats. Right now you can Buy any two Archer Farms 48 oz Ice-Creams, Get a FREE 2L or 6-pack Mini Cans A&W®, Sunkist,® 7UP®, Canada Dry® and More.
My family loves to enjoy Ice Cream Floats and especially enjoys drinking them with one of their newest flavored sodas – Dr Pepper® Cherry. Although the soccer season is over and the kids are just enjoying the beautiful weather, I love to make these Over The Top Dr Pepper® Cherry Floats while we lounge around the pool or for fun backyard picnics. My kids make the same faces I did at their age when they see these floats being made. The best part in their eyes is when they are finally able to top their floats with whatever they want and with how much ever they want. Feels so good to be able to share my childhood happy memory with them, and create a new one for them to remember and experience with their kids.
When is the last time you made an ice cream float? If you are looking for more inspiration, you can find more ways to celebrate the Summer of Floats here!

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ)—Governor Martin O'Malley takes the lead on a campaign to legalize same-sex marriage in Maryland.
Political reporter Pat Warren reports O'Malley is making it an administrative priority and will sponsor the bill next year.
O'Malley is throwing the power of his office behind same-sex marriage in Maryland.
"I will sponsor legislation that protects religious freedom and protects marital equality rights equally under the law," said O'Malley.
The governor was asked about previous statements that he believes marriage is between a man and a woman.
"I have always believed in the dignity of every individual," O'Malley responded. "I believe in our own responsibility to advance the greater good. And I also believe there's a unity to spirit and matter and what we do in our lifetimes does matter."
A week ago, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake pledged her support to legalizing single gender couples.
Supporters hope to repeat the success of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who got a same-sex marriage bill passed last month.
"I believe that New York showed you could do those things. You could protect religious freedoms and you can also protect rights equally, and that's what we're going to do in this upcoming session," O'Malley said.
Defenders of one man, one woman marriage plan to fight back.
"We don't want that, and it's not going to happen," said one opponent.
If history does repeat itself, the battle will be fought here. Governor O'Malley acknowledges he has a lot of work to do. And opponents vowed that even if the law passes they will make sure is it goes to referendum, although O'Malley says that is not his focus.
A same-sex marriage bill passed the Senate last year but failed to get a vote in the House.
