Stories about the U.S. Treasury Secretary aren't usually amusing, but this one has a comment that's good for a laugh.
The Wall Street Journal notes that Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew "has been holding a series of meetings with economists, academics, regional bankers and businesses in an effort to sound out different groups on the economy and Washington policies." Mr. Lew will be in Cleveland next week, where he will speak at the City Club and stop at high-end blender maker Vitamix Corp.
Of the series of meetings, one anonymous Treasury official tells The Journal, "It's really important to him to get out of Washington on a frequent basis to hear from a diversity of voices."Here is what passes for a "diverse" group for the secretary:
Aging gracefully: The chief economist of real estate website Trulia breaks down some numbers on the country's housing stock and concludes that if you like an old house, Cleveland is a good place to be.For instance, homes from the 1920s "are easiest to find in New York (12.3% of on-market homes there were built in the 1920s), Los Angeles (9.7%), and several Ohio markets including Toledo, Akron, Dayton and Cleveland."If that's a little too old for you, fear not."Homes built in the 1940s account for the highest share of today's for-sale listings in Detroit (19.6%), Los Angeles (10.2%) and Cleveland (9.1%)," according to the story on Forbes.com.Getting on his horse: The New York Times runs a long profile of jockey Kevin Krigger, who is trying to become the first African-American since 1902 to win the Kentucky Derby.Mr. Krigger has local ties.In 2001, the story notes, the then 17-year-old Mr. Krigger landed at ThistleDown Racino, where he eventually won 50 races.Mr. Krigger has a good shot this weekend. He's riding Goldencents, the Derby favorite and the horse that recently won the Santa Anita Derby.If Goldencents wins tomorrow in Kentucky, Mr. Krigger would be the first black jockey to win the Kentucky Derby since Jimmy Winkfield won two straight, in 1901 and 1902. Short of the goal: Cleveland soccer fans, we can do better than this.The Washington Post's soccer blog provides these ticket sales figures for the U.S. men's national team's next four matches:

Post subject: lessons at the gorge?
ive done a bit of searching on the web and it looks like theres plenty of places to choose from. Does anyone have any suggestions for preffered places to take some beginner lessons? ive never been to hood river but im going with my girlfriend in the middle/end of june. i know thats a bit early but that is the time weve got. I figure theres plenty of other things todo too
Im hoping to get her some windsurfing lessons while we are there. also if she were to really get into it and took a bunch of lessons, what kind of gear should i bring for her to use after shes started to get the hang of it? I was thinking it might be easier to just pickup something there for her to use then lug any larger gear all the way from the east coast.. thanks! justin

For first-timer lessons Id go with Big Winds. They, as well as a couple of other outfits, do such lessons at The Hook, which nowadays is pretty much the only place for beginner lessons. I did this years ago, and have since then put others through it. You move to outside the west end of the hook for waist-deep beach- and waterstart lessons and practice.
Dont bother bringing gear for her -- too much of a hassle, and the lesson providers have good/appropriate big gear. I also believe they have some deal where you can use/rent their beginner gear there on-site at The Hook if youve done a few lessons with them.

The shops have also started doing rentals, demos, and lessons out of box vans at the Event Site. This is a much nicer venue than the Hook, IMO. They will be down there pretty much every day by mid-june. You wont have any problems getting lessons or gear, definitely dont bother bringing your stuff w/ you unless youre here long enough that the equation of airline fees vs. rental charges is really compelling.

Id recommend Hood River WaterPlay for beginnner lessons. They have their own private beach so you dont have to worry about getting run over at the Event Site or The Hook (which isnt a very nice place to hang out). You dont need to bring anything - they supply gear, wetsuit, booties, etc. June is a great month in the Gorge. Enjoy.

Post subject: RE: lessons at the gorge?
I would recommend Big Winds, Brians Windsurfing, or Hood River Waterplay for lessons.
I believe Big Winds has the largest staff, most equipment and widest variety of offerings for instruction and clinics. They teach beginners at the Hook but hold other levels and types of lessons elsewhere.
Brian of Brians Windsurfing is probably the single most experienced instructor giving commercial lessons in Hood River and is a great guy. He is mobile and can teach at whatever site is best for the particular lesson.
Hood River Waterplay is good, as well, and has a nice, grassy on-land instruction site at the Marina and a sandy beach to launch and teach from on the water.
There are a few other place, I believe, like Storm Warning, and theyre good as well.
Come to think of it, I dont think you can really go wrong with any of the lesson and rental providers in Hood River.

thanks so much for responding
I like the lesson structure of Big Winds better then Hood River Waterplay. What do you think about the Official U.S. Sailing program vs the custom ones? Waterplay is the U.S Sailing program.. One really nice thing that Hood River Waterplay provides is their T.O.W. Club. I guess after you go through their level 1 course, you can use their beginner gear for free anytime. That would be really awsome. thanks again, justin

Im sure the U.S. Sailing program is fine. But, I dont view U.S. Sailing as at the cutting edge of the sport of windsurfing. So, certification would not be on my list of things I would care much about when contemplating windsurfing lessons.
Hood River has plenty of qualified and knowledgable instructors and programs. Certification would mean little, in my mind.
Free use of beginner gear would be a nice bonus, though other programs may offer this as well. Im not sure

Classic humbucker tone, modernized.
DiMarzio set out to make a pickup with the sound of the late 1950s humbuckers without simply imitating them with Alnico 2 or aged Alnico 5 magnets. Airbucker technology was created to capture all of the best sonic qualities of vintage humbuckers while avoiding the technical problems. The Air Classic has the same sweet sound as a classic humbucker, but Airbucker technology uses more reliable full-strength Alnico 5 magnets and still reduces string-pull to increase sustain and sensitivity. The result is an almost vocal, three-dimensional sound that jumps off the string faster and stays true as it sustains. The sense of touch and control this provides will offer you an unequaled ability to create your own sound.
Recommended for use in the neck position when combined with Air Classic bridge model and neck position in combination with hotter humbuckers. For all solidbody, hollow, and semi-hollowbody guitars.
Tech Talk: There's no doubt that a weak magnetic field allows a vibrating string to ring longer, but the standard Alnico 2/weakened Alnico 5 method also muddies the tone the longer the string sustains. By contrast, the Airbucker magnetic field preserves high end sustain; it's easier to capture and hold harmonic feedback at varied frequencies, and chords maintain better clarity.
Get the classic tone your looking for with a DiMarzio Air Classic pickup today!

You Can Own A Piece of the Moon - Really!
This past summer Taschen released Moonfire the comprehensive photographic essay with text originally written by Norman Mailer to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing. For the holiday season they are releasing the Lunar Rock Edition which allows regular people to own a piece of the moon, for a price!
It is incredibly rare for an average person to have access to lunar rock. Most lunar meteorites are in the possession of scientific institutions and museum collections. Given that there are only about 70 known meteorites with a combined weight of 55 kilograms, it makes lunar rocks more valuable than diamonds, a truly rare substance on Earth.
Each of the 12 special editions come with an individual piece of lunar rock . The rock and the book are presented in a case designed by Marc Newson one of the most influential living designers of our time. His work commands the highest prices and has broken the record for auction prices paid for current designers, most notably in April 2009 when Lockheed lounge sold for $1.825 million in London.
The book itself is a fascinating compilation of photographs of what has been called the most historic event of the 20th century. The photographs have been culled from the archives of Life magazine, NASA and are paired with text by Norman Mailer. There is also an archival quality numbered photographic print signed by Buzz Aldrin included with the book.
The final 12 lunar rock editions are on sale for 60,000 Euros and come with an authenticated and documented piece of lunar rock which varies in size, color and density.
Lunar Rock edition 1,969 features a piece found in Morocco that weighs in at 348 grams and is one of the largest meteorites to be found on earth that has not been cut into smaller portions for scientific research. The purchaser of this ultimate edition will also receive an invitation to a private dinner with Buzz Aldrin in Los Angeles. The price of this unique edition will set you back almost as much as a trip to the moon itself costing 480,000 Euros!
If you'd like to see it all in person, the Lunar Rock Edition of Norman Mailer's Moonfire is being exhibited at the Taschen booth during Art Basel in Miami from December 2-5, 2009. Otherwise you can head over to the Taschen web-site for an in depth look at the book and its photos.

If the insect world has a 'hot list,' bed bugs are at the top. They are the most talked about, Googled, and feared of the creepie crawlies.
(They're like Lindsay Lohan…but with better spin control.)
So I was surprised to discover how under-utilized bed bugs have been in movies, television and books. Did we just realize how gross and scary these mattress mites are?
I can only find one movie featuring the critters on imdb.com — aptly titled "Bed Bugs" — and it's a 17-minute short produced in 2006, years before the recent hysteria, seemingly fueled by a combination of increased international travel and — shall we say — inconsistent hygiene.
But now that people are totally spooked — ripping back the sheets at the finest hotels and even checking theater seats for 'lint that moves' — I think it's time to step up the infiltration of bed bugs in pop culture as well.
We need bed bugs as…
- spokes critters on Hallmark greeting cards
- cartoon villains on Saturday morning TV
- main characters in children's books
- monsters in horror films — perhaps the next "Saw" movie?
- or even as sidekicks for Ryan Seacrest. (Hey — "American Idol" can't get much worse, right?)
The possibilities are endless! Everyone in the creative community can do their part.
(If only Lindsay's career had as many avenues for success…)

Bold and Beautiful Recaps
B&B Week of October 5, 2009
Eric, Brooke, Ridge and Donna were floored when Bill said he's appointed
Katie as the new CEO of the company and she's already happily accepted.
Brooke railed at Bill for manipulating Katie, who was upset that the
Forrester clan wasn't more happy for her. Eric was angry that Katie was
giving up her good PR gig. Ridge told Bill he's a liar and a cheater and using
Katie to get his paws on the company. Eric agreed and said it won't be long
before Katie realizes his little plan.
Brooke and Donna pulled Katie into Ridge's office to try and talk some sense
into her. She was insulted when they suggested that Bill was playing Katie
and will just drop her when he gets what he wants from the company. "You've
both been loved by great men. Now it's my turn!" Katie explained. Brooke
pointed out that Katie's going to get hurt by aligning herself with Bill and
warned her about failure. Katie called out her sisters for ganging up on her
and said they just don't want to see her stepping out from behind their
shadows for once. She begged them for their support. They refused; Katie shed
a tear.
Later, the accountant informed Eric and Ridge that Forrester Creations is
being forced to pay back a $100 million loan within a year. Bill decided to
use their situation to his advantage. "I'm your only option," he smirked.
Dr. Caron paid Stephanie a house visit and told her to stop hiding her
condition and get some help. Pam was concerned about her sis's strokes and
urged her to take it easy. Steph, however, bristled when Pam suggested she
not return to work. "I am not sick!" she exclaimed. Taylor arrived home from
her conference and was confused about why the doctor's car had been in the
driveway. Steffy urged her grandmother to come clean to Taylor. She refused,
saying it would change the dynamic of their relationship and she doesn't
want Taylor to view her differently. They sat down over tea to catch up but
La Forrester remained mum about her condition. Steffy was miffed.
At Jackie M, Pam offered Whip one of her special lemon bars. He inquired
about Stephanie and pointed out to Pam that Steph's not been acting like
herself lately. She tiptoed around the subject but assured Whip that
Stephanie will be fine. Whip wasn't convinced.
To cut back on company debt, Eric suggested selling the beach house. After
he left to meet with a realtor, Ridge fumed to Brooke and Donna that they should
fire Katie for throwing in with Bill. Brooke and Donna were conflicted about
what they should do about their little sister, while Ridge pointed out that
Katie was just acting as Bill's "puppet." Donna agreed that Katie was being
Katie was anguished about running Forrester but Bill assured that she would
do a fine job. She pointed out that Eric could still pay off his debt but
Bill thought that was highly unlikely. Bill observed the doubt welling up in
Katie about his true intentions toward her and he assured that he didn't
want to disappoint her. He further assured he wasn't "a black knight" that
was coming in to raze the Logan family. A fortified Katie affirmed that she
wanted to be CEO of Forrester Creations but she insisted it
would have to be on her terms. "If you can't live with it, you need to tell
me right now," she challenged. He answered by pulling her down on the
couch with him and declared she is "the best thing that ever happened to
While Stephanie and Taylor were chatting, a worried Steffy came in and urged
her grandmother to get some rest. As Stephanie was getting up, she
accidentally dropped an object and a worried Steffy couldn't hold her tongue
any longer. She blurted to her mom that Steph had a stroke. Taylor gasped
then asked if Stephanie was okay. The dowager insisted she was fine but
Taylor admonished her friend for being secretive about her condition. Steffy
apologized for betraying Grandma's confidence and left the room. Stephanie
explained that everything is under control but Taylor wouldn't let up on her
concern, which Steph only bristled at. "I'd rather be hit by a train than
pitied," she growled. Taylor countered that Stephanie is greatly loved and
respected, but Steph asked her to be a friend not a doctor. Taylor vowed to
stand by Stephanie through this crisis.
In his office, Bill assured a worried Katie that she will do a great job at running Forrester, then pulled her into a kiss. "I believe I can do just about anything when I'm in your arms," she purred. After Katie left, Bill made a phone call to someone and bragged that he had her total faith in him.
Eric announced to Ridge, Brooke and Donna that he is selling the Big Bear cabin but they're still a long way from raising the money needed to make their loan payment. Katie showed up and tried once again to explain that Bill is saving Forrester Creations from bankruptcy. Ridge declared that Katie shouldn't even be working at Forrester anymore since she's now sleeping with the enemy. Brooke and Donna warned their little sister that she's being used by Bill and Katie begged them to trust her. Everyone urged Katie to convince Spencer to leave Forrester Creations alone. After Katie left, Eric revealed that Forrester's sales figures are at an all-time low. Eric was mightily discouraged but Brooke insisted they wouldn't let Bill take over the company.
Whip noticed that Jackie was in an agitated mood and asked where Owen was. She answered that he went out early to get coffee and finally admitted that Steffy has a crush on Owen which caused Jackie great anxiety. Whip gave his boss a pep talk but Jackie couldn't push away her insecurity.
Owen encountered Steffy and her skateboard at Insomnia. She offered to give him skateboarding lessons, which he immediately accepted. Recalling Jackie's warning, Steffy suddenly changed her mind so Owen asked if she is avoiding him. When she tried to change the subject, Owen wanted to know if this had to do with his wife and Steffy admitted that Jackie thinks Ms. Forrester is too involved in his marriage. Despite that, Owen thought he was still a lucky guy to have Jackie in his life. Steffy was touched by his devotion.
Bill took a DVD out of his safe that had his dad's photo on it. "Hello, Father," Bill said and popped the DVD into his laptop. Before he could watch it, a defeated Katie entered and recounted her meeting at Forrester. She then saw the DVD cover of Bill Sr. and asked what it was. Bill Jr. explained it was message his dad recorded before he died.
Eric, Brooke and Rick packed up the beach house since it quickly sold. "This is hard," lamented Brooke, then groused with Eric and Rick about Bill using Katie. Still, Eric was somewhat encouraged that the sale of the beach house was a start in repaying their bank loan. They finished packing and left.
Bridget called Owen at Insomnia and asked him to pick up designs that she left on Nick's boat. Owen agreed, then asked Steffy if she wanted to tag along. They headed over to the marina and boarded The Shady Marlin. Owen easily found the sketches but Steffy started up the engine and drove the
boat out to sea. Owen asked why he was being kidnapped and she said he needed a "mental holiday." Owen became concerned about where they were going and she announced their destination is Paradise Cove. She said she hoped Jackie will make him happy but if she ultimately doesn't, "I'm here for you."
Eric returned to Forrester Creations, where he signed the papers to sell the beach house. Rick was curious about the fact that the place was bought by a corporation but the realtor said that happens often when individuals wanted to make a
discreet transaction. Brooke assured they wouldn't let Bill take one more thing away from them.
After warning the Forrester-loving Jarrett to adjust his attitude, Bill brightened up when Katie entered his office. Once Jarrett was gone, Bill smooched with Katie, then announced that he bought her a surprise. He then led a blindfolded Katie to the Forrester beach house, where he told his shocked girlfriend that he bought the place — furnished! Jarrett soon followed with boxes and as he set them down, Bill Sr.'s DVD fell out. Jarrett departed and Katie wanted to know if Bill was just sticking it to Eric by buying the beach house. Bill revealed that he wanted Katie to move in with him. "I don't want to live without you," he proposed and she happily accepted. Yep, they kissed again.
Katie and Bill kissed on the couch of the Forrester beach house. Brooke came by, interrupting them, and was surprised to hear that Bill had purchased the home. "I was right about Bill. I wish I weren't for your sake," Brooke told her sister. Fearing that Katie would get hurt, Brooke asked her sister to come home, but Katie revealed that she agreed to move in with Bill. "You barely know him," Brooke pointed out. Katie didn't think that Brooke believed a man like Bill could ever fall for someone like her. Brooke replied that she didn't think a man like Bill deserved to be with someone like Katie. Katie was sick of everyone warning her that Bill is using her, and noted that she could do damage control for Forrester. Brooke still didn't trust Bill. Katie insisted that she knows Bill better than any of them. Brooke hoped that her sister knew what she was doing.
Bill asked Jared to go to a jewelry store for him and pick up "something special" from a certain person.... Katie came across a DVD made by Bill Spencer, Sr. and played it. The elder Bill spoke about how he could never win Stephanie from Eric — and requested that his son avenge Stephanie for the way Eric treated her. "Grind that fool into the dirt," Bill, Sr. instructed. "Take Eric's business away from him by any means you can." Katie was horrified. Bill came home and was upset to see her watching the DVD.
On Nick's boat, Owen encouraged Steffy to go for a swim. She tried to drag him into the water with her; as they joked around, she slipped and hit her head, and fell into the ocean. Owen rescued her and performed CPR; she recovered and was grateful to him for saving her life.
Brooke made some calls and tried to get some dirt on Bill's past — but then hung up when she realized that Katie would be upset with her..... Katie and Bill had it out over the DVD. Bill insisted that he wasn't planning to follow his father's instructions. Katie asked if he was using her to target Forrester. "Do you even know what love is?" she asked. "Only when I look at you," he replied. "Am I just a pawn?" she cried. He quieted her by kissing her passionately and asked her to never question his intentions for her. "I would never use you for anything," he assured her. "Tell me you believe me."

First one to post in an Intel thread - What a fanboy. First one to mention AMD in a negative light in an Intel thread - What a fanboy.
Nah, just that they don't have all the figures in neat order. This always happens, since they don't need to get them right other than the annual reports.
Lol I know. I was just making fun of the fact that those figures are not important for them, just approximate numbers they trow around, and yet it is like 500 times more than 95% of world's population will ever earn in their entire life.
not surprising with this news and its boring. they're still dominating over the competitions with a very huge gap, but some of peeps reject to say it's a monopoly practice because the mediocre one is still alive, and perhaps will collapse in near future.. what a sad story..
No surprise here, it's not like AMD is any real competition, if you want nay kind of real performance Intel is your only option.
It would seem to me that Intel is not suffering even if they are "flat". The fact that the economy is in such turmoil all over the world and yet Intel is managing to stay level must mean one thing they have a good product that every one want's or needs. You can say Intel is the largest this and biggest that, But they too are at the mercy of the economy. Intel is doing well because they have a strong product and strong marketing.
Intel, how about those 6 or 8 cores? Are you still selling them as extreme with extreme grotesque price?
Profits are actually down 14% and PC sales are down just over 8% too: http://www.slashgear.com/intel-q3-profits-fall-14-with-pc-demand-on-the-drop-16252253/ It seems data centre revenues have partially shielded the drop in desktop sales,although costs have gone up. The revenue was within what Intel predicted: http://newsroom.intel.com/community...07/intel-lowers-third-quarter-revenue-outlook They expected $13.2 to $13.5 billion in revenue,instead of the previously expected $13.8 to $14.8 billion it seems.
Of course, given that its still a niche product. I don't see the need to mass produce 6 or 8 real cores yet, especially when 4 IVB cores can stomp almost all competition.

TweetFanning the Flames: NASCAR, Networks Finally Dancing With The One That Brought 'Em
NASCAR Fan Q & A · Matt Taliaferro · Thursday October 8, 2009
NASCAR's sanctioning body takes a lot of heat from the fans and from the media. The car is no good, the on-track product is subpar, the tracks are all the same, the Chase is a sham, the penalties are too stringent, the penalties aren't stringent enough … on and on we go, bashing away. Make no mistake, the sanctioning body deserves some flack (I mean someone has to keep it honest, right?) — but we also should tip the proverbial cap when it gets one right.
And over the last two days, it's done so twice.
On Tuesday, it was reported that NASCAR/ISC would raise the catchfencing to 22 feet (from 14) at the circuit's two restrictor plate venues, Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. This, in the aftermath of Carl Edwards' harrowing flight into Talladega's catchfencing in April.
Bravo … although we still need some rows of seats cleared out.
Then, on Wednesday, a short-notice conference call was conducted with members of the media to announce NASCAR's intent to "standardize" race times starting with the 2010 Daytona 500.
NASCAR CEO Brian France, along with FOX Sports' David Hill, Turner's David Levy, and ESPN's John Skipper, conducted the roughly half-hour call which aligns race times across all the networks into what amounts to eastern, western and evening blocks. Twenty-eight of the season's 36 races will begin at 1:00 PM EST next season, while Saturday night events will start at 7:30 PM EST. The Fontana, Las Vegas, and Phoenix races will begin at 3:00 EST.
NASCAR and the networks have come under fire for their "shotgun" approach to start times. With FOX, TNT, and ABC/ESPN all televising their own portions of the season, it's difficult enough to remember what channel the race is on for fans of the more casual persuasion. Add on erratic time slots, and confusion levels escalate — but especially during the NFL season, it doesn't take much to persuade one those 1:00 and 4:15 EST gridiron guarantees work wonders.
"I think making the case with everybody working together to get this wide across so many months of programming across so many different networks was not simple," France explained in getting his own sport to follow suit. "But we did, and everybody certainly wants to drive ratings, drive interests. They want to accommodate the NASCAR core fan."
"Core fan" is a term not often heard from France. In fact, he and FOX's David Hill were the main proponents of latching on to NASCAR's new breed of fan around the turn of the century. Later start times that bled into prime time would drive said interest and ratings up, the thought went.
Nine years later, here they were … with an admission they were wrong.
"I think that we've started to tamper with something that we shouldn't have, and I'll put my hand up and say 'guilty.'" said Hill. "That what we tried to do was by moving the races later, you get into a television terminology called 'cuts.'"
"So obviously, the later you move it, the more cuts there are, the greater chance you have at ratings. However, what we've found, and our research and NASCAR's research is that the great thing about this sport is its wonderful, wonderful traditions."
Before you read into this any other way (I know it feels patronizing when these guys throw words like "hard core fan" and "tradition" at us), be mindful that above all, what we ask as fans is for the powers-that-be to admit when a mistake has been made and rectify it. Such is the case now. Are there other changes that need addressing? Of course. But for a sport where change comes at a tectonic-shifting pace, we've seen a 7.0 on the Richter Scale this week. So let's give NASCAR and the TV networks their due for a decision well made.
Then, we can commence with any warranted criticism this weekend when we get to the track that embodies the hardcore fans' frustration about all that "Realignment 2004 and Beyond" stands for: Fontana.
Here's where you can send that warranted (or unwarranted) criticism. Thoughts, opinions, questions … anything is welcome. And for those long-time readers that have never written, type in "First time, long time" in the subject line and I'll boost yours to the top of the list.
Hey! I'm a daily reader of Frontstretch. Even though I consider myself to be knowledgeable about racing, I always learn more reading your newsletter!
My question is very simple: When a crew chief is caught with a less-than-legal car, who pays the fine? Do crew chiefs make the kind of money to afford a $25,000 or $100,000 fine? Thanks.
— Ted Paskiewicz, Seneca, S.C.
While some teams pay their crew chief's fines for cheating, Chad Knaus is on his own.
A: Have you and I not covered this before, Ted? That's OK; it's a good question that has many answers. And it really depends on who the crew chief is employed by and what he did to earn the fine.
Chad Knaus, when asked once if Mr. Hendrick pays his fines, sarcastically told a reporter to check his W-2 at the end of the year. Ouch … as many times as Chad has been burned, it's a good thing he gets his Kobalts for free.
Jack Roush also addressed the topic once, and seemed to have a pretty sensible policy: "If a crew chief wants to push a rule and I think it's in the bounds of reason, I'll say, 'OK, I won't stand behind you, but I'll stand beside you, and if you do get in trouble I'll send you a cake with a file. If you push a rule and you did not ask for my advice and counsel, then I won't send you a file.'"
Assuming that most crew chiefs are making anywhere from $600,000 to $1 million per season, NASCAR's $100,000 baseline fine — up from $25,000 to $50,000 over the last couple of seasons — can be a painful one.
Hi Matt. I have a mystery I was hoping you might be able to clear up. After New Hampshire, Mark Martin had a 35-point lead over Jimmie Johnson (or at least that was what your site reported). After Dover, it was 10 points. Try as I might, I can only figure out where 15 of the 25 points Jimmie gained came from — 10 points between first and second and 5 points for Jimmie leading the most laps.
So where did the other 10 points go? As far as I know, drivers don't get 10 "bonus" points for winning once the Chase begins, but maybe I am wrong. Can you help? Thanks.
— Steve Pelzer
A: You're not wrong, but something's fuzzy here. I hate math, but sometimes an exercise like this helps me remain smarter than a fifth grader. Let's break it down this way:
Martin entered Dover with a 35-point advantage over Johnson, 5,230-5,195. Johnson earned 185 points at Dover for the win, plus a five-point bonus for leading a lap and another five for leading the most. That'd be 195 points. Martin earned 170 for a second-place run but did not lead a lap. There's your 25. That would give Martin 5,400 and Jimmie 5,390 — the difference being 10 points.
Matt, I was watching the race at Kansas today, when I heard the most astonishing thing. The guys in the booth said NASCAR had told Brad Keselowski to stop racing so hard against the "Chase" drivers. They were running for a championship and he isn't. If anyone wants to know why I HATE this abortion of a format, that is exactly why. The hypocrisy is horrifying.
On one hand, NASCAR wants to pretend that all 43 cars on the track are out there to win if they can, yet they tell a driver to "take it easy" around the "chosen?" Why even bother to pretend they care about having a competitive race? If they aren't going to let every driver try to win every race, then just put 12 cars on the track. That's about the level of "exciting competition" they are encouraging, and it's about as dishonest as you can get. I'd say the comparison to the WWE is pretty accurate. — Sally Baker, Davison, MI
A: Thought I'd hear about this. And it's certainly one of those warranted criticisms I mentioned earlier.
The thing here is, regardless of how harmless the suggestion may have been from NASCAR to Keselowski's crew, the intent comes across totally wrong to a viewing public. I'm only speculating here, but NASCAR's message of "eeeeasy rookie," is conveyed to those watching on ESPN as, "quit racing the Chasers so hard!" We just don't know what exactly was said (Jamie Little obviously paraphrased the warning).
Honestly, I don't know what the sanctioning body's intent was. Keselowski is a take-no-prisoners type of driver. So is Montoya. We were informed of the exchange on Lap 113 of 267, which is early. And again, he is a rookie. Don't think this is the first time NASCAR has reminded a rookie of such things.
I guess my take is if NASCAR is saying the same thing to Keselowski while racing Montoya at Atlanta in March, then I don't have a problem with it. If, however, this is a Chase thing, then let that warranted criticism fly.

we are ruled by a bunch of asshole beerocrats, many of whom have degrees in art history, sociology and other studies that make them perfect masters. they of course will claim that they are "servants" of the people.
they hate us.

The government will fuck you 'til you love them, faggot.
I want to be a beerocrat. Sounds like a good time.
it's a great job. excellent retirement benefits and if you fuck up, the worst that will happen is that they will move you to a job where you can't do any harm. with the same pay of course. and if you know a politician (even the lowest among them), or are a woman or of color, you are as golden as it gets.
they rarely fire anyone. for example, when a high ranking beerocrat cops a feel, he's told to quit or they will fire him. so they get to move on with no mention of what ever they did wrong.
it's a corrupt system that leans to the left politically.
i know it well.

I trust the government when adults are in charge, not the current crop of far left, Muslim-loving libtards. And why aren't we bombing Iran yet?

A you can run but you can't hide musing: In December 2013 Clarence Valley Council is settling Smith v Clarence Valley Council out of court. Rumour has it that the fact that senior staff discovered that even as far away as Murwillumbah Court House they could not escape the valley's eagle eye and, the fact of council's decision not to continue with the matter but move to a settlement, are not mere co-incidence.
