What is a Medicare Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)?
Medicare beneficiaries have a choice of whether to receive Medicare benefits through traditional Medicare or a managed care plan (if one is available where they live). No matter which they choose, they still have Medicare. If they join a Medicare HMO, they will not need Medigap. Learn more about Medicare HMOs, and the difference between traditional fee-for-service Medicare and Medicare HMOs before you make a choice.

The problem with Angelina is that I can't go because it's always too crowed to find a place at the right hour for tea time. We should suggest they come here!
Bonne idea Anne. Yes, please do come to New York Angelina! But should there be a line when you go, and there are lines everywhere in Paris for everything, you could always get something to take away or a emporter.
Mont Blanc at Angelina, original watercolor, 9" x 11"
Angelina has a lovely pastry counter just to the left of the entrance that quite a few people miss altogether.
Just as many choices and you can linger and browse (and take pictures discretely...)
There's coffee to take away...
And Angelina's famous hot chocolate is for sale, though it tastes not a bit like what's served onsite in my opinion...ahem.
Here's an unusual looking religieuse.
The menu describes it thusly:
RELIGIEUSE PISTACHE - Pate a choux recouberte de crumble vanille, creme legere a la pistache, compotee de groseille = chou pastry with chocolate crumble, unctuous chocolate cream, chocolate fondant.
The SAORI, Le cheese cake Japonais - cheese cake au cream cheese, sable croustillant ciron vert, coquille croquante au chocolat blanc, guimauve a la fraise = lime cheese cake, strawberry sweet jelly, cream cheese, lime, crackly(?) sable, crackly white chocolate, strawberry marshmallow.
The OLYMPE - biscuit macaron a la violette cristallisee, gelee de fraise et de fraimboise, creme mousseline a la violette, framboises fraiches = macaron biscuit with candied violet, strawberry and raspberry sweet jelly, violet cream, freah raspberries.
Aren't these descriptions divine?
Of course Angelina has big macs - looking here a bit like hamburgers...
So there are other options if the line is prohibitively long at Angelinas. And the Tuilleries gardens are just accross the street. You could easily take your booty and munch leisurely amidst the lovely gardens - dejeuner sur l'herbe so to speak.

Puranda trial starts in federal court
WINSTON-SALEM — The federal criminal trial began today involving a former Salisbury Police officer accused of using excessive force during arrests in 2009.
Attorneys have seated six jurors and will seat another eight, including two alternate jurors, who will hear the case against Kareem Cesar Puranda.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Schroeder said opening arguments could begin today if a jury is seated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Graham Green is prosecuting the case and attorney Chris Fialko is representing Puranda.
Puranda was accused of using excessive force in two arrests in 2009. One of those involved Robin Otto Worth, who settled with the city in a lawsuit against Puranda and the department last month. The lawsuit was in response to the 2009 incident.
Several Salisbury Police officers are expected to testify in the trial, but testimony isn't expected until Tuesday at the earliest.

From 6th till 8th of May the re:publica, Europe's biggest conference on digital and social media, took place in Berlin. More than 5,000 attendees discussed over three days internet policy, network neutrality and the future of social media campaigns. The most controversial topic at the moment in Germany are the plans of the Deutsche Telekom, which announced already in the beginning of May, that they will choke the speed of the internet in the nearest future. The hosts of the re:publica, Markus Beckedahl, Johnny (@spreeblick) and Tanja Häusler (@elektrotanja) as well as Andreas Gebhard, called up the participants to appeal to their government to anticipate these plans: "Avoid that the Telekom introduces a 2nd class internet!" Tanja Häusler said: "If we can now afford limitations for the sake of commercial interests, if there are no more protests against these limitations, we have to realize, in fact, that the digital society is growing continously, but still, has no power to public opinion."
IN/SIDE/OUT – The link between online and offline
The motto of this year reminds of the difficulty to connect people from the online and the offline world: "With this in mind, the motto IN/SIDE/OUT can be read as an upending of the digital society: Facebook is reaching one billion users, established newspapers are folding to the net-based competition, and Twitter, which was once the tool for alternative civilian war correspondence, is being utilised by militaries to communicate their combat targets. While we were always sure that at some point everyone would use the mechanisms offered by Web2.0, the question remains: Who profits in the end? Will citizens embrace obligations of governments and businesses to become more transparent, while at the same time tolerate the non-transparency of those companies which form the structures of the internet? Or will we soon pull the plug and return to a place where privacy is tangible again? Will we replace the INternet with an OUTernet?"
Sascha Lobo: Who's afraid of Augmented Reality?
Lobo is one of Germany's most established digital avantgardists, working as an author, columnist and speaker on digitial issues and net politics. He held his keynote on Monday not without mentioning an amazing technology such as augmented reality is. He is fascinated in AR, but honestly understands the fear of people, who don't know what to expect about it: "It's like the radioactivity of Internet. There has to come up a lot of awareness training on augmented reality in the future. At the moment it provokes fear on this invisible, unknown power. There is still an anxiety for the merge of the digital and real life." He himself is enthusiatic about Ingress, an augmented reality game produced by NinanticLabs, which he played passionately in the last weeks: "It's the most 'nerdy' game one can imagine." Unfortunately, Ingress "guzzles" a lot of energy, but is lot of fun, he said.
Francesco Lapenta: A Critical look on Augmented Reality
Yesterday I've visited Francesco Lapenta's presentation with the amazing title "Mediated Life after Virtualization. A Critical Look at the Scenarios Forecast by New Wearable Augmented Reality Visualization Technologies." He agreed so far with Lobo, that there is still a huge insecurity according to new wearable devices which are visualizing information. People usually have six senses and he imagines that all these senses should be combined in one mobile (augmenting) device such as for example Google Glass and giving real added value to people: "Our Augmented Reality device could interact with these machines, and there could be competetional power of different senses which could interact with your vision and offers you help to learn more." But what does it really mean for us? He asked: "What will follow the inevitable technological peak and demise of old communication technologies such as the mobile and the screen? If the mobile embodied the newly acquired freedom from the constrained spaces of earlier mediated communications? New "seamless" and "immersive" technological evolutions will acquire social, cultural and market dominance while cannibalizing previous technological milestones very much like television did with photography, radio and cinema, and the computer did with them all. what are the consequences of a technology that does not pretend anymore to "simulate" reality or its visualization but now "naturally" creates the way we see the world and experience it?"
If you want to see the whole presentation, please watch the video:
I still feel overwhelmed by all these very great sessions at the re:publica and would like to recommend the #rp14 to you taking place on the May 5 – 7, 2014 in Berlin.
There was not enough time for me to attend in all events and if you are interested as well, we can also follow the re:publica YouTube channel with all presentations and keynotes.

FLASHBACK: Dion & The Belmonts Split
Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Sunday (October 16th, 1960) marks the 52nd anniversary of Dion announcing his split from the Belmonts. Dion, whose last name is DiMucci, had been a member of the Bronx, New York street gang the Fordham Baldies when he joined musical forces with Carlo Mastrangelo, Freddy Milano, and Angelo D'Aleo, who were part of a rival gang, the Imperial Hoods. The resulting group took their name from the Bronx's Belmont Avenue.
In 1958, the Belmonts' first Top 40 hit, "I Wonder Why," came to define Italian-American doo-wop, and the group went on to have seven more Top 40 hits with Dion, including the Top Tens "A Teenager In Love" and "Where Or When." The group was fourth on the bill to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson during the ill-fated February 1959 Winter Dance Party tour, which took the lives of the '50s rock legends.
By August of 1960, Dion was making plans to forge ahead with a solo career, and went on to become the first rock and roll artist to be signed to Columbia Records.
In February 1961, Dion wrote to Dig magazine, explaining his departure from the group, saying, "I'd like it understood right from the beginning that our split up was mutual. I didn't leave the Belmonts, nor did they leave me! Freddie, Carlo and Angelo are my closest friends. We've been together a long time. We've shared hard work and defeats as well as success. And each chipped in and done our share -- gladly!"
After Dion's departure the group continued, with Mastrangelo taking over lead vocals, but Dion fared better, scoring 20 Top 40 hits in a three year period, including the Top Tens "The Wanderer," "Lovers Who Wander," "Little Diane," "Ruby Baby," "Drip Drop," and "Donna The Prima Donna," and his sole Number One hit "Runaround Sue."
Although the group briefly reunited in 1966 for the Together Again album, changing musical climates and Dion's heavy heroin addiction caused the reunion to be short lived. The next year Dion became sober, and in 1968 he scored his first Top Ten hit in five years with "Abraham, Martin And John," which paid tribute to assassinated political figures President John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
On June 2nd, 1972 Dion & the Belmonts reunited at Madison Square Garden in New York City at an oldies show sponsored by radio station WCBS-FM, and a live album of the event was released the following year, titled Reunion: Live At Madison Square Garden.
Dion says that he'll never retire his legendary '50s and '60s hits from his live act: "Y'know I go out and do those songs. Like, I just played the House Of Blues in Atlantic City -- and people come out to hear songs. And believe it or not -- they're fun to sing. Like 'Donna The Prima Donna,' it's still fun to sing. (Laughs) 'Ruby Baby" -- it's still fun to sing."
Dion says that despite the many genres he's tackled, including doo-wop, R&B, pop, rock, blues and gospel, his music is all coming from the same source: "I've always felt that if you're sitting in a room with me, and I'm playing 'Walkin' Blues' or 'Ruby Baby' -- or anything from the Phil Spector album (he produced for me), or anything from the gospel albums -- it's all 'Dion' music. If you hear it in the room with the guitar, it sounds pretty much. . . it sounds like me."
In 1989, Dion was inducted by Lou Reed into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Dion & The Belmonts have performed several times over the years at various Dion solo shows. In 2005, Dion's 1987 Radio City Music Hall concert was issued on CD as Dion And Friends Live In New York City. Performing alongside Dion and his band was Belmont Carlo Mastrangelo.
In October 2009, Dion performed during Paul Simon's extended set at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame 25th Anniversary Concerts at New York's Madison Square Garden.
On January 1st, 2012, Fred Milano died of lung cancer. Milano, who owned the Belmonts name, lived in Massapequa, Long Island, and continued to perform while employed by the New York City Department of Corrections -- which he joined in 2003 after going back to college late in life -- working with inmates at New York's Rikers Island. Milano is survived by his wife, Lynn, two children and 10 grandchildren.
Earlier this year Dion released his latest album, the critically acclaimed, Tank Full Of Blues.
Dion will perform tonight (October 16th) in New York City at Little Kids Rock's "Right To Rock Celebration" at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

Cultivated fields sweep gently down to a semi-wooded valley, with Todi resplendent in the distance. A long corridor leads from the living room to the double bedrooms, both of which have glass doors opening directly into the garden on the "panoramic" side of the house. The rooms are furnished in a minimalist, but functional style. Adjacent to the house is the swimming pool, with the same splendid panorama as the covered patio.
The house is surrounded on three sides by 3 hectares of open fields which make up part of the property, and by a small wood slightly further away. The property is located nine kms from the charming medieval city of Todi, one of Umbria's famous cultural jewels. A perfectly preserved historic town, Todi has a world-wide reputation for its beauty and cultural events. The city centre's "piazza" is ideal for dining outdoors or for sipping cocktails as you take in the glorious surroundings.

NC lawmakers want to stop cities' new-home rules
NC lawmakers want to stop cities' new-home rules
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina lawmakers have given initial approval to legislation which attempts to rein in ordinances used by local governments worried about new homes sticking out like sore thumbs.
The House gave initial approval Tuesday to a bill backed by home industry groups that limits the power to place appearance and design standards upon one- and two-family homes.
Rep. Nelson Dollar of Cary says local governments have gone too far with some rules. The bill doesn't prevent homeowner associations, covenants or historic districts from enforcing aesthetic controls.
The North Carolina League of Municipalities opposes the bill. Its allies argue local governments have the right to keep the character of established communities intact by regulating new construction.
The measure approved 94-22 will go to Senate after one more House vote this week.

A strong field was lining up at the Ironman 70.3 US Championships in Galveston last weekend. Schildknecht managed to step on the podium once more, while Lance Armstrong was thought a lesson by the top professionals.
During the last weeks a few athletes rescheduled their race plans for the opportunity to race the US Ironman 70.3 championships in Galveston (Texas). The reason behind those individual changes of the racing programs could have been cycling legend Lance Armstrong who was announced to line up in Galveston after his brilliant runner-up finish at the Ironman 70.3 in Panama earlier this year. Swiss BMC triathlete Ronnie Schildknecht had very good memories of Austin after preparing his Sub8 performance at Iroman Florida last fall in the texan city. He therefore enjoyed another stay in the southern state. Schildknecht already finished 3rd at Ironman 70.3 in South Africa in January and was confident to show another solid performance in the US. Beside Schildknecht also Michael Raelert rescheduled his race calendar for being able to line up in Galveston. The German was one of the major favorites as he dominated nearly every 70.3 race in which he participated during the last few years. Raelert wasn't very optimistic though as he suffered from a bad cold and was missing his bike after the flight to Texas. Nevertheless Raelert didn't forfeit and came out of the water in first place. During the bike leg it was Armstrong that set the pace and led the field into T2. The fastest bike split belonged to the German Sebastian Kienle who was chasing the leaders after missing the field with the favorites early in the swim. While Schildknecht suffered from muscular problems on the 90 Kilometer bike leg Michael Raelert was forced to wait for the neutral support after flatting his rear wheel. On the run Kienle took over the lead early and tried to keep up the distance to Timothy O'Donnell who wasn't far behind. Schildknecht recovered from his issues on the bike and showed a fantastic half marathon ending up with the fastest run split of the day that put him into 3rd. Raelert suffered heavily on the run and was already been said to have pulled out but managed to keep up a solid pace and finishing in 4th place. Armstrong showed a solid performance but was continously slowing down after about 15 Kilometers which allowed several pros to catch him before the finish line.

I've only just discovered Carcassonne (thanks to the iPhone app), but I keep losing (in 3-player games).
Which standard strategies are there? (game without extensions, 3-4 players).
One strategy per answer please.
I've only just discovered Carcassonne (thanks to the iPhone app), but I keep losing (in 3-player games).
Which standard strategies are there? (game without extensions, 3-4 players).
One strategy per answer please.
Strand your opponents Meeples
When you place a piece, of course try to make it advantageous to yourself. But if you can, place it to hinder your opponent. If he is trying to complete a city and you weren't able to figure out a way to share it, then place a tile next to the potential closing piece. This will limit his options. By slowing down the rate that his meeples return you will gain an advantage.
Often times, it is possible to leave an empty space that no tile can be placed in. If your opponent has an unfinished city or road that connects to that empty space then his meeple will not be returning to his hand and will generate a sub-standard score.
There are 2 main empty squares that cannot be filled using pieces from only the base set.
With a little practice it is pretty easy to get this to work against even moderately experienced players. I played a game online recently that followed this general sequence
My opponent had 3 meeples stranded and it we were only 1/3rd of the way through the game! He stood no chance to win the game at that point.
Put farmers on valuable farms
I find that if people are building smaller cities, then it's good to get farmers in early; you can monopolize the farms, and make a lot of points at the end. You need to be careful with this approach, as having your meeples locked up in farms means you can't use them later when you need them, but if there's a valuable enough farm to be had, then take it before someone else does.
Use Meeples Efficiently
They're your only resource for scoring points, and they're a renewable resource. A good starting point for your 7 meeples would be:
Obviously, you have to tailor this for the game situation you're in. The general idea is to avoid tying up too many meeples on things that won't net you many points. Smaller roads and cities are easier to complete - score the points and put your meeple to work somewhere else.
Share in other people's structures
If you can persuade other players that you're working with them on a structure (usually a city), then you can get all the points for half the effort.*
For example, in a three player game, if you score 10 point for a city with opponent A and 10 points for a different city with opponent B, then you score 20 points in total, leaving them on 10 points each.
* It's possible to put in less than half the effort - just one tile could suffice.
Place your meeples so you'll get them back quickly
Try to maximise your meeples throughput i.e. don't place them on tiles where you won't see them again until the end of the game. My tips:
The basic principle is you want each meeple to do as much work as possible rather than being stranded on incomplete towns, roads and monastaries or farming an area that will never be developed.
In general, not a ton of strategy, mostly tactics. Just make sure you're doing the math on the "upside" of every move.
My strategy for Carcassonne has always been to build reasonably big cities. It means that other players are not scoring as many points by farming, as there are fewer cities, plus big cities are very rewarding. I do try to finish cities with a reasonable time left to play however, to ensure other players don't disrupt the building, which can result in limited scoring.
I found a very good write up of my strategy, quoted below.
Sabotage your opponents
One element that is a much bigger factor in the iPhone game than in real life is using your tiles to prevent an opponent from completing something they're working on. The iPhone game will show an "X" when no remaining tiles can be played in a given spot, and will show you all the remaining tiles yet unplayed.
You can use this to your advantage by placing a piece that will leave an opponent's city, road, or cloister unfinished, or leave a field unable to be connected to another.
In the tabletop game this is less common because you generally don't know precisely which tiles are left and you have to do the computation of whether there are any pieces playable in a given spot yourself instead of having the game do it for you.
Draw good tiles
Obviously, this takes some luck, but there a few things you can do to improve your odds.
You cannot place a Meeple in a castle that is already occupied, be it your own, or another players. However, you can start a new castle nearby and attempt to merge it on a subsequent move. In this case, both players get the fill points for the castle (or road, or farm).
This is a great way of neutralising their points, but better still if you can merge 2 Meeples into a castle where your opponent has one. In this case, the player with more men in the castle gets the points.
The same applies to roads and farms - and it is with farms that this kind of play can be crucial.
(Advice originally via my regular Carcassonne opponent and mentor, @Pockless)
Limit the size of opponents farms.
For instance, by building a road around it.
Here is a summary of some of the techniques I use, and I've seen here that I think work well.
Use Meeples Efficiently
Build Farms late
People, in my experience rush to place farms down and sit on them only to have them snatched later in the game. Don't fall into this trap. You've just lost a piece you could put on a city or short road, and have returned in time to play as a farmer!
Don't underestimate Cities
Cities, if you can focus on them, and reap huge returns. These returns can swing the game, even when someone has played a farm heavy game!
Always leave a spare meeple for a cloister
There's nothing worse than drawing a cloister and not being able to put it down.
Place tiles carefully
Always keep in mind where you're trying to finish off a city a cloister or a road (remember point one?). Keep a track of yours and other's farms are and be wary of extending or joining farms
Do whatever the other's aren't
If the other players are engaged in farm wars, leave them be and focus on cities. No one picking up on farms? Get a few of those down. Try to stay ahead of the pack this way and they'll end up diluting the resources too far to compete with you.

Trying to understand what makes great companies great is the defining quest of popular management research. Sadly, like the quests of great literature – from the grail to the fleece – the search seems endless. Even the most famous and influential efforts at uncovering the causes of enduring success have of late been knocked off their pedestals, and often for good reason. Why should we bother even to try?
Well, if George Mallory wanted to climb Everest because it was there, then, following Thomas Berger, we determined to try our hand at the recipe for persistent superior performance precisely because it isn't there.
To make any progress, we recognize we'll have to try a different approach. We've begun with advances in statistical techniques to define a unique sample. You can read more about that in our monograph, A Random Search for Excellence.
But there's more. We'd like to make our research method as transparent and our analysis as collaborative as possible. So you can watch our thinking evolve here, or, better yet, you can get involved in shaping it along the way. Thanks for joining the conversation.

The bid to revive the Equal Rights Amendment, which was the subject of an epic Statehouse battle in the early 1980s that helped kill the feminist push to amend the U.S. Constitution, comes from state Sen. Heather Steans, D-Chicago and could be a vehicle for Democrats to help spur fall turnout from among women.
Steans has sponsored a resolution that would require approval from both the state Senate and House to make the Illinois the 36th state to ratify the amendment, which provides that "equality of rights under law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex."
"My hope in passing the ERA is to rectify an historical wrong and serve as a symbol of the ongoing fight for women's rights and equality," Steans told the Chicago Sun-Times. "While Illinois has taken a strong place in the fight for marriage equality, history still regards Illinois as the place where ratification of the ERA was stopped.
"We clearly need to guarantee critical rights like equal pay and reproductive freedom, however," said Steans, whose resolution is scheduled for a hearing Wednesday in the Senate Executive Committee.
In 1982, then-Illinois House Speaker George Ryan, who would go on to become governor, blocked ratification in the state of the Equal Rights Amendment, a move that effectively killed the movement nationally.
Thirty-five states had previously ratified the proposed constitutional amendment, and approval in 38 states is required before the constitution could be amended.
Congress passed the ERA in 1972 and gave states seven years to ratify the amendment. When not enough states had don so by that March 1979 deadline, Congress extended the states' ratification deadline another five years to June 30, 1982.
Feminist groups have contested the validity of that ratification deadline, and there is a belief among supporters that passage in Illinois could persuade Congress to remove its ratification deadline and give the overall movement a shot in the arm.
In Illinois, the push for ERA was one of the most contentious battles to ever play out at the Capitol.
Up against that 1982 deadline, activists from across the country converged on the state Capitol but encountered difficulty in the Illinois House, where Ryan held the gavel.
They sought Ryan's support in changing House rules so the measure could pass with a simple majority instead of a three-fifths vote. But the Kankakee Republican, who opposed the ERA, blocked the change, ensuring the legislation's death.
In response, angry ERA supporters staged one of the most memorable protests at the Capitol in state history by writing Ryan's name in blood on the floor the statehouse.
"One of the main objections at the time was that the ERA would allow women to be drafted and sent into combat," Steans said. "Of course, we don't have a draft today, and we have tens of thousands of women proudly serving their country, including heroes like Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth."
The last time the ERA surfaced in Illinois was in 2003, when the House, then under Democratic control, passed a ratification bill. But the state Senate didn't follow suit, again snuffing out support from Illinois for the constitutional amendment.
"While there's no guarantee a ratification process can be revived, we can undo the historic wrong in Illinois by passing the ERA," Steans said. "It also puts Illinois legislators on record, so voters can judge whether they're willing to right the wrongs of the past."

Mathias Frank climbed his way into the top 10 Sunday at the Tour de Suisse with an aggressive strategy that led to eighth place on the stage.
Tough Day Ahead
"When I saw that (Frank) Schleck was alone, I thought it was a good moment to follow the attacks," Frank said. "But they brought us back at the bottom of the last climb. I'm happy with my place because I didn't know exactly where I stood after the Giro d'Italia. But I did some good training this past week." Maurice Soler (Movistar) soloed to win the stage and take the overall lead. Frank is eighth overall, 52 seconds back. "It's going to be a really hard stage tomorrow," Frank said, "with probably the hardest climb of the tour and one of the most important stages. We'll see how it goes."

Cadel Evans of the BMC Racing Team shouldered the bulk of the workload Thursday at the Tour de France, leading the pursuit of stage winner Andy Schleck (Leopard Trek) up the final climb of the Galibier.
Evans Now Fourth
Evans pulled back nearly 45 seconds from Schleck in the final kilometer, but it was not enough to prevent him from losing his grip on second place overall. Andy Schleck and brother Frank Schleck (second on the stage), both moved ahead of Evans, who finished third on the day. Thomas Voeckler (Team Europcar) clings to the overall lead by 15 seconds and is 1:12 ahead of Evans, who is now fourth. "When Voeckler and his team stopped riding and he has the yellow (jersey), it was a bit bizarre and strange," Evans said. "They've been riding a lot all week, but he had a teammate in the end, too. They sort of looked at me to do the work, but I was alone, too. I'm never happy to lose places on GC."

After Andy Schleck put in an attack midway up the Col d'Izoard – with still more than 60 km to go – Evans used Brent Bookwalter to help with the pacemaking. The American was part of an early 19-man breakaway. "I gave everything I had today to help once Cadel's group got up to me," Bookwalter said. "I was already on empty at that point, but I did what I could." Later, BMC Racing Team's Amaël Moinard and Steve Morabito helped pace Evans to the final climb of the 200.5 km stage.
'We're Still In Contention'
BMC Racing Team President/General Manager Jim Ochowicz said it was impressive to watch Evans lead the chase and close the gap to Andy Schleck. "It could have been a lot worse if he (Evans) had not taken the initiative," Ochowicz said. "(Alberto) Contador was dropped, (Samuel) Sanchez was dropped. You don't get dropped if you're not using most everything that you've got. This race isn't over and we're still in contention and tomorrow is another day. It's going to be hard tomorrow. But we're going to be as competitive as we have been every day thus far in the race."
