The gloves come off as championship battle heats up
You want nice? You're not gonna get it in the IndyCar Series. The Nextel Cup race at Bristol looked like a softball game compared to Sunday's free-for-all at Infineon Raceway, writes Bruce Martin.
Updated: August 27, 2007, 3:31 PM ETBy Bruce Martin | Special to ESPN.com
SONOMA, Calif. -- When Scott Dixon was part of a four-driver championship battle in the IndyCar Series last season, it pitted the two most gentlemanly teams in the series -- Penske Racing and Target Chip Ganassi Racing.It was Sam Hornish Jr. and Helio Castroneves representing Team Penske with Dan Wheldon and Dixon competing for Ganassi.It was a tough but fair battle that went all the way to the final race of the season at Chicagoland Speedway, with Hornish and Wheldon ending up tied in points. But Hornish won the championship based on the tiebreaker of more victories.It was a fair fight between two classy teams, with both sides congratulating each other at the end of the season.By contrast, this year's battle for the IndyCar series is like a street fight. The four-driver Andretti Green Racing team has brought a gang-fight edginess to the title race, with a teammate such as Tony Kanaan more than happy to use team tactics in an attempt to help Dario Franchitti win a championship for AGR.The team has brought a dead-end mentality to this title race. It's reflective of the eastern Pennsylvania area where Michael Andretti is from, where tough men worked in the cement factories of Nazareth and even tougher men worked the steel mills down the road in Allentown and Bethlehem.And everybody thought NASCAR had all the tough guys.Saturday night's NASCAR Nextel Cup race at Bristol looked like a softball game compared to the intimidation tactics AGR tried to use in Sunday's Motorola Indy 300 at Infineon Raceway.It was four against one, and the one prevailed, but he got a little help when the race leader tangled with one of his own teammates.Franchitti started on the pole and appeared to be on his way to an easy win before Marco Andretti came out of the pits in front of this year's Indianapolis 500 winner on lap 69. Andretti had his own idea of winning the race, and when he raced Franchitti hard going through the first turn, the two cars touched, sending Andretti's car off the race course.When Dixon drove by and realized Franchitti's front wing was damaged, a big smile came over the New Zealander's face.In Franchitti's mind, justice had been served in a most ironic way."Today was very frustrating, especially having to deal with TK [Kanaan] a lot," Dixon said. "He was not playing fair at all. We were all warned in the drivers' meeting about team tactics. I think the IRL [Indy Racing League] was watching another race because it was definitely going on."Outnumbered 4-1 but not outmatched, Dixon was able to take advantage of the Franchitti-Andretti incident to take the lead, win the race and take over the championship lead. Franchitti's 65-point lead at the end of June has turned into a four-point deficit.At one point in the race, Dixon screamed into his radio about Kanaan blocking him."You mean you could work those words out?" Dixon joked, because his over-the-air conversation contained a few expletives. "He was just obviously slowing down. When we had clear laps and he was at speed, he was doing 77s [seconds per lap]. When they came across and told TK to slow down because Dario was getting into traffic, he started running in the 79s -- almost two seconds a lap slower.
I had to protect Dario as much as I could over the final few laps. The guy has done a lot for me over the years and I was thinking about the team.
"In the middle of the corner, he was just crawling. There are two sections of a lap he was making it very slow and very pronounced that he was trying to give Dario a gap. Of course it's frustrating. If that's how it's going to go, it's just a bit sad, really."Once Dixon got in the lead and was being chased by Helio Castroneves, Franchitti was in third, followed by Kanaan in fourth and Sam Hornish Jr.It was obvious Kanaan's car was faster than Franchitti's, but the Brazilian driver refused to pass his teammate, trying to minimize Dixon's gain in the standings. That also held up Hornish, who probably could have passed both Kanaan and Franchitti and sunk Franchitti even deeper in the points."I had to protect Dario as much as I could over the final few laps," Kanaan admitted. "The guy has done a lot for me over the years and I was thinking about the team. Motor racing is a very selfish sport, but I'm proud of what I did today."It wasn't going to change anything for me to be second, third or fourth. I want this team to win a championship and I'm pretty sure Dario will. It's a little setback, but we've still got two races to go."Dixon has gotten little help from his teammate, Dan Wheldon, who was mathematically eliminated from title contention on Sunday. So he knows that the numbers are in AGR's favor, but he's going to show that in an unfair fight, he can overcome the four-on-one disadvantage."That's why they have four cars," Dixon said. "That's the advantage they have."It would be the same if we were in that situation, but it's unfortunate on these circuits we can't even have two cars close to each other. We have to work on that because it's an advantage they have. Unfortunately, Dan has had kind of a rough run on the road courses. Unfortunately again, that seems to be where AGR is very strong."Three of them in front of me in this race and one closely behind. At Mid-Ohio, all four of them were in front of us after qualifying. It kind of has been four on one. Luckily, at Mid-Ohio they all sort of took each other out, which was a big help."That's why Sunday's win was so satisfying to the 2003 IndyCar champion."It was big," Dixon said. "After last year we had a fair bit of unfinished business. Our car was very strong. I think we deserved to win last year, but we always had these problems. "It's a problem when you have a good weekend and you think what's going to happen, what's going to go wrong. It sure did last year."The AGR gang did their best to give Dixon an auto-racing version of a wedgie on Sunday, keeping him boxed in with one driver in front and another driver behind. There were probably a few spitballs and noogies thrown in there that no one saw.But in the end, Dixon didn't flinch and showed he can't be intimidated, even if it is four-on-one.Now this street fight heads to the streets of Detroit for the Belle Isle Grand Prix in a city made famous by the NBA's original "Bad Boys" -- the Detroit Pistons.Maybe Dixon can convince Rick Mahorn, Dennis Rodman and Bill Laimbeer to cover his backside from the AGR gang.

Visioneer's Gallery: Project Paz
As Juarez continues to struggle with drug violence, artists band together to aid the children of that beleaguered city
|This Article Features Photo Zoom
The auction also featured work by numerous emerging and established contemporary artists, including Marcela Zacarias, GT Pellizzi and Ray Smith, Miya Ando and Kat Kohl, who's an employee of Duggal.
These works, all donated by the designers and artists, were auctioned to benefit Ampliando el Desarrollo de los Niños (ADN), an organization that supports after-school programs for children living in marginalized areas in Juarez to create a safe place for them to learn rather than fall victim to gang violence. Urias said that the organization selected ADN to benefit from the evening's sales because it wants to invest in the future of Juarez: its children.
"Part of the reason why Juarez is going through what it's going through is lack of institutional support and, most importantly, a lack of investment in social development," he says. "There is a lot to do in terms of investing in the people and in grassroots programs. If you help the future of Juarez, you start attacking the problem by its roots versus just trying to address the immediate issue.
"The solution needs to come from everybody," he adds. "Just because you are in New York or have no connection whatsoever to Juarez, that doesn't mean that you should sit on your hands and not do anything. There's a lot of things that you can do, even small things, from showing up to the event or buying art helps get the message across."
This "message" has already benefitted 3,000-plus children in Juarez, a precious gift of hope and renewal indeed.
There's something about interacting with art linked to a cause that does more than just create moments of transcendence for the viewer. Such shows bring everyone involved in the creation of such an event under a shared umbrella of humanity through which it becomes possible to connect with and reach out to invisible communities in remote parts of the world. There's no dearth of issues that need addressing in the world. But when we think of them collectively, we're bound to feel utterly helpless about our role in contributing in any way. Shows like these allow us to reflect on a specific problem at hand in a specific way, enabling us to make tangible both the problem and a small part of the solution and become directly connected with the communities affected.
As with all projects for social causes that we're proud to be involved with, Project Paz allowed us to reach beyond our comfort zones and contribute meaningfully with the conviction that each such event restores the faith of one child, one family, one city in all of humanity. The painter Georges Braque once famously exclaimed, "Art is a wound turned into light." Indeed, this project is one such concentration of light that has gone as a ray of powerful hope to the citizens of Juarez.

"I ordered these thank you notes expecting them to arrive just a day or so before I needed them. They arrived a week earlier then planned. I am extremely pleased with the look and quality of these."
"It turned out better than I thought! I had them move the text box higher on the page and I changed the ultrasound picture to a color that better matched the card using their system. It makes it personal and makes everyone smile when they see it."
"Very simple beautiful card, I really love it, I did the 'thank you' in brown and then made the blue the name of my son, looked great!! High;y love this card and the quality"
"I loved this card!!! The personal touch with the sonogram pic was a perfect choice for a baby shower thank you card. The quality, shipping and printing was great! I have 3 children and 1 on the way so I am always buying invitations, thank you cards, etc. Tiny Prints is ALWAYS my first choice!!!"
"I like this card because we are using it for a co-ed baby shower thank you card, for our little boy to be. My husband thought these were 'cool' enough for our guy guests, not too cutesy and frilly, but adorable. I agree!"

I have just discovered that Hazy McHone and Arthur McFalls were my gggreatgrandparents. They had a daughter, Sarah Caroline McFalls, who married John William Lowery. One of their sons was Henry Wesley Lowery who married Rosa(Dora) Duvall. These people also had several kids. One was my grandmother Pearl Augustus Lowery.
I have to ask a crazy question because it's been a family rumor for years. Was there a connection with a Cherokee Indian in this branch?
I am very impressed with the information collected and excited to learn of a McHone reunion held on the 2nd weekend of August. Could you give me more info?
Also, in a family document, Sarah Caroline said of her father, Arthur McFalls, that he went to fight for "the Southern Cause in the Civil War and never came back." I found one message here that said that an Arthur McFalls was killed at the battle of Shiloe. Would this be the same Arthur McFalls? Other messages say that Arthur was at one time "married" to an Indian woman named Teek. Who was she and did this have anything to do with Hazy McHone? Still so many questions.
Other names I'm researching are Hunter/Banks/Kilpatrick/Lowery. They all seem to center around the same areas in western NC: Rutherford, Buncombe, Madison, Yancy This is fun, but I'm not very good at it. Thanks for your help

Sharif A. Rosen joined the Tucker Foundation as the Muslim & Multi-Faith Advisor in December 2013.
Prior to coming to Dartmouth College, he spent nearly five years in Amman, Jordan directing student services for the Qasid Arabic Institute, a study abroad center for college-age students of Arabic from the United States and other western countries. At Qasid, he led student advising, organized trips, activities and volunteer service opportunities.
Concurrent with his work in Amman, Sharif studied Arabic and Islam directly under traditional Muslim scholars. His past and ongoing studies focus on spiritual and ethical development, the laws of ritual worship, tenets of faith, Quranic exegesis and recitation. In early 2013, he completed Qasid's classical Arabic program. With the encouragement of his teachers, Sharif is translating practical works on Islam from Arabic into English. He is authorized to teach one of the classical methods of Quranic recitation.
From 2006 – 2008, Sharif led community relations for the University Muslim Medical Association in Los Angeles, California, also known as the UMMA Community Clinic.
As an undergraduate at Loyola Marymount University (LMU), Sharif founded the Muslim student group on campus in 2004. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History from LMU in 2008 and is now a graduate student, part-time at the Hartford Seminary. Apart from his work and studies, Sharif serves as a volunteer chaplain within the Vermont Department of Corrections.
Sharif embraced Islam in 2002.

Grand Circle Reviews
"Great Opportunities with a Growing Company "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Grand Circle full-time (more than an year)Pros
Travel benefits: trips on considerable discount (about 75% off) 4 times a year, any time can take a trip for 50% off, sometimes sent on trips for free
Time-off: Though the policies are strict, on top of your vacation and personal time you get comp time for working undesired dates and can swap shifts with other people in your department anytime you want - this helps maximize the travel benefit
Personal growth -I was promoted 3 times over the course of 26 months. There are constantly job postings for internal transitioning but most pay less than sales so many people don't switch roles.Cons
Management in cliquey and you're either in or out.
Initiatives change quickly and are sometimes quickly dropped without notifying the contact center
We are open 361 days a year basically no matter what!
Everyday is a numbers game which can be very stressful. Hitting your sales metrics is very important and it's easy to miss. Termination for performance is high.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Treat everyone equally and keep your personal life a little more separate from work.RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Interview Difficulty
- Application Details
I applied online. The process took 3+ weeks – interviewed at Grand Circle in October 2014.Interview Details
As all of the other reviews I've read, my experience has been quite similar. I submitted an online application and within less than 1 week got a phone call to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was a piece of cake - mostly being told about the position, about the pay, benefits, etc. A few questions were asked of me (what is the biggest risk you've taken? Which countries have you been to?), but not many. At the end of the phone interview, I was immediately invited to come into the office for the group interview.
It started with 8 other applicants (for various departments/ positions) sitting in a circle with the hiring rep. We were told about the company and it felt a bit like school. When asked if "anyone knew what their core values were," we chimed in one by one, feeling very much like students with our hands raised (but without our hands raised). After discussing their values (YES, as everyone says, they really stress that!), we were divided into 2 teams for a group exercise -- the egg drop.
You are given about 1 dozen straws and a little bit of tape, asked to build a "vessel" for the egg, and to "send it on a trip." You are also asked to create a story for the egg. You get 15 minutes, and as you work as a team, they are observing, taking notes, and most likely looking for who is taking charge of the situation (leadership is a key value of the company). In the end, you have only 1 minute to "present your story" about the egg, and then you drop it whilst standing on a chair. (Both teams' eggs survived, but of course that's not the point).
After the exercise, you're asked to do a "finger shoot" where you evaluate your own performance as a team and as an individual. More discussion, then group exercise number 2. In this one, you are given a sheet of paper detailing a certain crisis. You and your team must figure out an appropriate reaction to the crisis as if you were an executive of Grand Circle.
After the group interview finishes, you might wait in the lobby for a while. The sales interviewees are called upstairs to the sales floor, and hooked into a sales rep's headset to listen in on a sales call. My sales rep was handling customer service calls only, so didn't get much out of that.
Perhaps 20 minutes later, I was called away for the individual interview. This was much more "classic" and had some of the "harder" questions. But the atmosphere/ tone of the interview was casual and nothing to feel nervous about. Some of the "hard" questions were not as hard as normal, and I felt free to answer them in non-PC ways, or in potentially unflattering ways, BECAUSE their company values "open and courageous communication." I made sure to emphasize that before answering as such though!!
About 1 week later, I was called and offered the position. I asked to go back in and actually listen to some REAL sales calls, to which they obliged. At the end of that experience, I accepted the offer. Start training tomorrow!Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsNon-negotiable. Hourly wages and potential for commission, as is detailed during the phone interview.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
- When I said that public ranking of sales reps had the potential to create tensions, jealousy, rivalries on the sales floor, I was asked what I would do to avoid those negative situations. Answer Question

Very cute, clean and reasonably priced
We stayed this home for a weekend (7 adults) so one of us slept on the couch in the living room that you can pull out into a full size bed. Quiet but very convenient location with a 24/7 Safeway only 5-10mins drive away. The house was very clean, the kitchen was well equipped and the gas grill is perfect for an after-hike BBQ. Overall, we were very happy and we'll definitely be back.

[** feat. Malik Yusef:]
[Malik Yusef:]
You know you ghetto boy, when you got a face, with a scar
And yo' highest aspirations is a place, and a car
Shorties pull out and bussssst, like a money shot
Now he on the run, he hot
And he hurtin' his Granny and she the only one he got
The hood so shady
You give up hope, of ever even tryin' to find a sunny, spot-
-light, they caught him at the stop-
-light, but if he would'a run that yellow
Then he could'a, run the globe
But instead, with speed
They put one in the middle of his frontal, lobe
Like a unicorn
I'm just tryin' to keep you, informed
To my little ghetto soldiers in they, gold
Green, red, and blue uni-forms - chuuch!
But I'm feeling like the loneliest monk
So I pull me a Thelonius Monk and blew, the horn
And we don the monikers of goons and gangsters
And are trained to conduct ourselves true, to form
So we add a Shorty, a Money, a Mack
A Lil', a Eazy, or a Young to our name
So all the big ballers grab rims and hung, in the game
And there's a degree, of difficul-ty
To make it from the ghetto boy into the man-hood
Especially when you know that yo' fresh greens
Will help eliminated a canned, good
Can, good, and bad co-exisssst?
In a place with plenty of off ramps but no ex-its

YOU BEEN BLINDED passes along the seamy story of two student-athletes in Arizona going at it in a collegiate catfight.
(L: Patty Paniagua; R: Katrina Johnson)
Patty Paniagua and Katrina Johnson of Arizona Western College were arrested on Tuesday, after both were entangled in not just one but a series of assaults in the school's residence halls on Monday night.
The fighting may have been over a guy at the college, but not just any guy - try the football team's wide receivers coach.
The YUMA SUN reports that as authorities investigated the incident, they discovered that assistant coach David Slaughter had been involved in a sexual relationship with one of the girls. When confronted, the coach admitted to the relationship and offered his immediate resignation.
Unfortunately, the Sun wouldn't say which gal Slaughter was drawing up pass plays with - volleyball player Paniagua or basketball player Johnson. But David did get to work fast, as he shacked up with a student in only his first year on the job.
However, the trio weren't the only ones affected by Monday's mash-up:
One female student was taken to Yuma Regional Medical Center for treatment of bumps and bruises, while another declined any further treatment from paramedics the night of the attacks.
Panagiua had already used up her two years of eligibility at the junior college, but Johnson still has one year left. AWC AD Jerry Smith is debating whether to allow Katrina to come back:
"She's an outstanding young lady and just made a mistake, just like Slaughter. He was a great guy and a big asset around here who just made a mistake. He's not the first guy to make a mistake with women, but that's just something we cannot tolerate around here."
But isn't college all about learning - especially from your mistakes?
OK, maybe not went it comes to student affairs - with the coaching staff.

The student athletes who have run the required races and followed the rules must wonder about the fairness of this situation. Many of the other students are comitted to running- not soccer. This feels wrong.

Shortstop Jed Lowrie returns to Houston
HOUSTON (AP) One of the Houston Astros' top priorities this offseason was to improve their infield, and the return of shortstop Jed Lowrie does just that.
Lowrie played for the Astros in 2012 before he was traded to Oakland and spent two seasons with the Athletics. He rejoined the Astros on Monday when he agreed to a $23 million, three-year contract.
"We wanted to improve our infield particularly the output of our infield offensively," general manager Jeff Luhnow said on Tuesday when Lowrie was re-introduced in Houston.

LIVERPOOL, N.Y. -- Hundreds of cancer survivors and their families donned some very special hats Sunday.
The safari themed party was held at the Holiday Inn in Liverpool in celebration of National Cancer Survivor's Day.
Organizers say it gives people the opportunity to socialize with others who know what they've gone through.
"I think cancer is becoming an epidemic in our society, it's become one of the largest diseases out there. And I think that when you have that no matter what kind of cancer you have you're all family, you've all been through similar situations," said Matthew Capogreco, a cancer survivor.
"I just wanted to talk to people about overall how I got through it, how they can get through it, and just how it feels," said Zach Ellingson, a cancer survivor.
The group also celebrated the upcoming opening of the Upstate Cancer Center. It's expected to open next month.

Meanwhile reporter Gail Weathers investigates the killings with deputy sherrif Dewey Riley, convinced that the deaths are linked to Sidney's past.For the 1981 movie by the same title, see Scream (1981).

Costa Concordia Capsizes near Med's Biggest Marine Park
The wreck of the cruise ship Costa Concordia in Italy is a sobering human tragedy, with at least 11 deaths and more missing. Sadly, it could become an environmental tragedy as well.
The Costa Concordia capsized Friday night near the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, the largest marine sanctuary in the Mediterranean. The park is home to a variety of dolphins and whales, and its corals and seagrass create an important habitat for a variety of other plants and animals. Oceana visited the area during a 2006 expedition, documenting the health of the marine life there.
If the ship's fuel leaks before the salvage team has a chance to drain it, the endangered and threatened species that live near the wreck will suffer.
"The tragic wreck occurred in a protected area that is home to many endangered species, so a spill would cause severe damage to organisms such as cetaceans, sharks and coral," said Ricardo Aguilar, research director at Oceana Europe. This would be a great tragedy for the area, which in the past has suffered coral death due to climate change.
Even without disasters like this one, cruise ships can be a danger to the oceans. Cruise ships can create more than a thousand tons of waste every day, through sewage, fuel, and other pollutants.
We here at Oceana extend our sympathy to the victims and their families. We can only hope that the tragedy ends here, and does not have a lasting impact on the underwater inhabitants of Giglio Island.

British supermodel Cara Delevingne rules on fashion catwalks
LONDON (Reuters) - As hundreds of models have strutted down catwalks in New York and London this month for the fall fashion shows, one face has emerged from the crowd -- British model Cara Delevingne.
At New York Fashion Week last week Delevingne, 20, walked in 13 shows, including Marc Jacobs and Oscar de la Renta, and in London this week she sashayed in various shows, for Burberry (BRBY.L), having previously modelled for Stella McCartney. Milan and Paris come next.
The catwalk success of the British model, whose strong eyebrows and snub nose are her defining features, has Britain's press stalking her every move and has drawn comparisons to the attention once garnered by fellow Briton Kate Moss.
Open a fashion magazine or the social pages of a newspaper and there is Delevingne, with the model gracing the March issue of British Vogue while also partying with the A-list crowd including singers Rihanna and Rita Ora.
She is plastered on billboards across London as the face of Inditex's ITC.MC high street chain Zara and has built a large social media following, by posting photos of her modeling, partying and napping, attracting 468,000 Twitter followers.
"She has this unique striking look, which is almost part Brigitte Bardot, but then mixed with an elfin quirkiness. There's a rarity about her look, which has put her on the map and into countless campaigns and runways," said Carmen Borgonovo, fashion director at online boutique my-wardrobe.com.
Moss, 39, and Delevingne do have something in common - the same scout.
Sarah Doukas, who spotted 14-year-old Moss at a New York airport in 1988, was the first to see the potential of Delevingne at a fashion show at her daughter's private school, Bedales. She signed her up to Storm Model Management in 2009.
But unlike Moss, Delevingne comes from a privileged background - as her attendance at the 30,000 pounds a year school Bedales suggests.
She is the granddaughter of former English Heritage chairman Sir Jocelyn Stevens, founder of the 1960s pirate radio station Radio Caroline, and grew up in the wealthy London suburb of Belgravia with her father, a property developer, and her mother, a personal shopper. Her sister Poppy is also a model.
Delevingne first came to attention appearing in Burberry's 2011 campaign. She became the face of Burberry in 2012.
She was named Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards last November and has continued to climb the ranks, rising to number 17 on models.com's Top 50 Models list from 25 before the start of this month's fashion season.
"Cara is one of those girls who combine energy, wit, enthusiasm and the kind of edgy beauty that marks her out from the general pool of beautiful models," says Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman in an introduction to the March magazine.
Fashion industry experts said with the fickleness of the fashion industry it remained to be seen whether Delevingne would challenge the success that Moss has enjoyed for over 20 years.
But they said part of the appeal of the model-of-the-moment is her personality on-and-off the catwalk, with Delevingne clearly having fun and trying to remain modest.
"I don't like Cara the model. I'm just Cara. And for some reason, these people keep hiring me," she told reporters backstage at the London Fashion Show.

Review: Black Diamond III Bluetooth speaker
I think it's fair to say that if you want a Bluetooth loudspeaker to stream music from your phone or player, the marketplace is somewhat generous with its choices. To stand out and be noticed, manufacturers need to add something extra to the pot – such as being able to change shape like the novel Transformative Bluetooth Hi-Fi System or really feeling the beat with the ONBEAT-X1 portable speaker. Taiwan's Yantouch has taken a decidedly more visually-stimulating route with its third-generation Black Diamond speaker, and Gizmag spent the last few weeks being mesmerized by its stunning light show.
