When Lyndsay Leikem picked up her third foul late in the first half of the championship game of the Flowing Wells Holiday Shootout, Caballeros coach Michael Perkins didn't take her out. He also didn't offer her any words of wisdom.
"She's such a high-level player; she knows what she's doing out there," Perkins said. "She knew she had to be smarter, and she was."
Leikem didn't commit a foul the rest of the game and scored a game-high 19 points as tournament host Flowing Wells beat Sahuaro 54-41 Friday night to claim the tournament title.
"I know how to play defense the right way, I just had to do it," said Leikem, who will play collegiately at Indiana next season.
"I can't swing my arms and pick up fouls, and that's what I was doing earlier.
"I'm really glad coach has the trust in me to leave me out there because I didn't want to be watching the game from the bench."
After beating Tucson 50-30 in the semifinals, it took the Caballeros a little time to wake up, and the Cougars took advantage.
Sahuaro jumped out to an 18-9 lead midway through the first quarter after freshman Sydney Harden scored a bucket in the paint.
"You have to give Sahuaro a ton of credit," Perkins said. "They came out and played very hard and got us down early."
The Caballeros answered and finished the first half on a 24-6 run to take a 33-24 lead at halftime.
Six players scored for Flowing Wells during the run, including Leikem, who had eight of the 24.
"The Tucson High game was a big one for us, and we weren't ready to go from the start in the championship," Leikem said. "But, we got it going."
Sahuaro, on the other hand, labored after starting strong. The Cougars scored just one field goal each in the second and third quarters.
Junior Itzel Valencia-Gallegos had a team-high 11 points for Sahuaro (12-3), and Harden added 10.
"There are a lot of positives I think we can take from the tournament," said Sahuaro coach Steve Botkin, whose team went 3-1 in the tournament and beat Desert Christian in the semifinals. "On a whole, we played well all weekend and learned about some things we have to do better going forward."
The Caballeros improved to 13-3 and won their tournament for the second straight season. Perkins' team has won 11 consecutive games and has an in-season tournament title to build on.
The closest Sahuaro got in the second half was eight points after freshman Reazsha Benjamin converted on two free throws. The Caballeros led by as many as 15 in the second half.
"For me, it's one game at a time, but I'm happy for the girls that they won their own tournament," Perkins said.
"They really had a lot of fun, and that's important."
Junior Shalise Fernander, who fouled out late in the third quarter, had eight points to back up Leikem's 19, and Nadine Fermawi added seven.
Both teams are off until Jan. 8. Sahuaro will travel to Salpointe Catholic, and Flowing Wells will host Ironwood Ridge.

If you listen to some Tuggeranong Valley residents, they feel they've fallen off the map, what with the light rail being a northside plan for at least the medium term.
That feeling won't be helped by some good-looking maps showing Canberra devoid of anything south of the lake.
Mapping the northside of Canberra - basically his electorate of Fraser - has been a pet project for Federal MP Andrew Leigh since late last year.
He first crowd-sourced a map that represented what his constituents consider their local treasures, which include parks, cafes, pubs and, perhaps not surprisingly, his and federal colleague Kate Lundy's offices.
Leigh and his team then created a Google Map showing the spots, but it was only when the project was kicked over to some design students at the University of Canberra that it took on some real style.
As part of their course work in the UC's faculty of arts and design, students came up with their version of the ''People's Map'', the best of which Leigh listed online on Thursday.
Leigh's favourite was a clean and fairly traditional map by Michelle Lang, titled Pemano (People's Map Northside), while lecturer Ben Ennis Butler was a fan of a funky three-dimensional version by Justin Lindwall.

Hart Fights Health Disparities Through Influential AMA Post
Helping bring transformation to organization
Dionne Hart, M.D., says the AMA has been open about confronting discrimination in the past and today is committed to eliminating health disparities among racial and ethnic groups.
I've always set high expectations for myself," says psychiatrist Dionne Hart, M.D., chair of the AMA's Minority Affairs Section.
And to hear her life story is to realize she means what she says. Growing up outside of Chicago, Hart had always wanted to be a doctor, but she married young to her high-school sweetheart, and by the time she was 20 she was divorced with three children at home but still managing to complete an undergraduate degree at the University of Chicago.
That might have been accomplishment enough for some people, but after she graduated with a degree in psychology, she began taking courses to prepare for medical school while working in a community mental health center (CMHC) on Chicago's West Side. It was that experience that sparked an interest in psychiatry and in making changes to systems and policies that affect patients and their physicians.
"I always had an interest in listening to people's stories," she said. "And working in a CMHC I saw a lot of things that I knew needed improvement, and I wanted to make a change."
She had completed two years at Rush Medical College when her father became ill. After taking time to care for him before his death in 1999 she returned to Rush and finished her schooling. After a psychiatry residency at the Mayo Clinic, Hart took a two-year commitment to treat underserved populations through the national Health Service Corps, as a way to defray medical school costs.
Today she works as a psychiatrist in the Federal Medical Center in Rochester, Minn., which provides medical and mental health treatment to male prison inmates.
Hart has brought the same determination to achieving her goals at the AMA. Last year, she was reelected to a two-year term as chair of the Minority Affairs Section, representing African-American, Hispanic, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and other minority physicians. She is one of several young psychiatrists who have energized the AMA with their commitment to organized medicine while building bridges between psychiatry and other medical specialties.
And along with an influx of young, diverse physicians from other disciplines, Hart and other young psychiatrists are helping transform the AMA.
She was introduced to the AMA as a resident when she became involved in the Minnesota Medical Association, serving as a delegate to the AMA Resident and Fellow Section. "I didn't really know much about the AMA at the time," she recalled. "I was familiar with the National Medical Association, the organization that has traditionally represented African-American and Hispanic physicians, and I think I thought that the AMA wasn't a place for me. But I was surprised when I joined the residents section to find it was a pretty diverse group, and people were really interested in making a change."
According to data compiled by Hart and her staff with the Minority Affairs Section, 74 percent of AMA delegates or alternate delegates are white non-Hispanic, 3.49 percent are black non-Hispanic, 1.9 percent are Hispanic, and 7.19 percent are Asian/Asian American.
Historical figures on racial and ethnic composition of the House of Delegates for comparison are unavailable, but it's clear that the face of the AMA has changed. And in July 2009, it issued an official apology for a history of excluding black physicians from membership and failing to speak against federal funding of segregated hospitals and in favor of civil-rights legislation.
"The AMA failed, across the span of a century, to live up to the high standards that define the noble profession of medicine," said AMA past President Ron Davis, M.D., in a commentary published in the July 16, 2009, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The apology came in response to an expert panel's report on the historical racial divide in organized medicine titled "African-American Physicians and Organized Medicine, 1846–1968: Origins of a Racial Divide," also published in JAMA.
Hart says today the Minority Affairs Section is dedicated to addressing the health disparities between ethnic groups and to increasing the diversity of the physician workforce. And she believes those goals have the backing of the AMA's leadership. "My perspective is that the AMA has been very open about previous challenges in its history, and now has made it a high priority to eliminate health care disparities," she told Psychiatric News.
And she said that psychiatrists of all backgrounds who may think, as she once did, that the AMA is "not a place for me" should take a second look.
"Membership in the AMA is an opportunity to work with state organizations and other medical specialties to develop policies that can improve the life of our patients. There is strength in having the AMA behind you."

Amazon Cuts Ties With Calif. Affiliates To Avoid Tax
Under a new law signed by Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown, online retailers like Amazon are supposed to start collecting sales taxes, even when they're based outside the state. Amazon says the new law is unconstitutional, and it won't collect the tax. One way the company is trying to avoid it, is by severing ties with about 10,000 small businesses and individual blogs based in the state which link to Amazon.com through their websites.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
And I'm Steve Inskeep. Good morning.
If you ever buy stuff online, there's a good chance you bought something without paying sales tax. Starting today, that is not supposed to happen in California. Under a new law signed by Governor Jerry Brown, online retailers like Amazon and others are supposed to start collecting sales taxes even if they are based outside the state. Amazon says the new tax law is unconstitutional and it says it will not collect the money.
One way the company is trying to avoid it is by severing ties with about 10,000 small businesses and individual blogs based in the state which link to Amazon.com through their websites. NPR's Wendy Kaufman explains.
WENDY KAUFMAN: California needs money and state officials say the new sales tax could bring in two to three hundred million dollars a year. Amazon wouldn't be paying more in taxes, just collecting the sales tax on customer purchases and passing it on to the state just like brick-and-mortar retailers do now.
Mr. BILL DOMBROWSKI (California Retailers Association): The retail industry has said enough is enough. We have to do something about this.
KAUFMAN: Bill Dombrowski heads the California Retailers Association - a trade group that pushed for the new law. He says online retailers have had a built-in price advantage because consumers often didn't pay any sales tax.
Mr. DOMBROWSKI: In California, that meant they had a 10 percent roughly price advantage every day of the year, and shoppers were turning our stores into showrooms and then going out and shopping on the Internet.
KAUFMAN: But collecting sales tax from Internet sales can be tricky. In a landmark 1992 case involving a mail order company, the U.S. Supreme Court said retailers can't be forced to collect taxes unless they have a physical presence in that state.
So here's what California's doing. It essentially calls California-based companies and bloggers part of Amazon if they have links to Amazon on their websites and get sales commissions for sending shoppers to the online giant. Amazon's solution? It cut them off. If the 10,000 or so companies, bloggers and others no longer receive any money from them, they can't be connected to Amazon.
Savings.com is one business that got a termination notice. It used to make a sizeable amount of revenue from referring customers to Amazon. Now, says Savings.com's Thomas Swalla, that income is gone.
Mr. THOMAS SWALLA (Savings.com): I definitely understand the intention of what the lawmakers are trying to do. Unfortunately they affected businesses that are going to hire people and invest in their state. And it's a real effect. I mean, it has a real financial impact.
KAUFMAN: He says Savings.com may be forced to pack up its office and move to another state where it will still be able to get sales commissions for online sales referrals.
Danny Sullivan, an influential search engine blogger who had links to Amazon on his site and has received small commission payments, suggests that Amazon's tactics carry a tinge of blackmail.
Mr. DANNY SULLIVAN (Blogger): It felt like Amazon wanted to use the affiliates as a kind of a pawn in all this, that by cutting loose these people, that they will go forth and try to get the law changed.
KAUFMAN: Amazon calls the new tax law unconstitutional and counterproductive. The company declined our request for an interview, but Amazon has argued that it's unreasonable and unfair to compel online retailers to collect sales taxes in 50 states with different rules and different rates. The company has said it would support some sort of national standard on the sales tax issue.
But for now the focus is on California. While Amazon is terminating payments to those who send them business, the company still has offices in California. And the state will no doubt try to get the sales tax it thinks it's entitled to. Amazon will surely fight, just as it's done in the six other states that have passed similar tax laws.

The Disney comedy proves to be hard to beat amidst the coming of potential new movies.READ MORE
"The Game Plan" tells the story of rugged superstar quarterback Joe Kingman (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), whose Boston-based team is chasing a championship. A 'serial bachelor', Kingman is living the ultimate fantasy: he's rich, famous and the life of the party. But this dream is suddenly sacked for a loss when he discovers the 7-year-old daughter (newcomer Madison Pettis) he never knew he had � the product of a last fling before parting years ago with his young wife. Now, during the most important time in his career, he must figure out how to juggle his parties, practices and dates with the newfound ballet classes, bedtime stories and dolls that come with his daughter. Equally perplexed is his hard-edged mega-agent, Stella (Kyra Sedgwick), herself without a parental bone in her body. Despite the often hilarious misadventures that come with being a new father, Joe discovers that's there's more to life than money, endorsements and thousands of adoring fans: the love and care of one very special small fan is the only thing that matters.

Hi, Olivia. Did you find out if it was dry, powder or fresh ginger?

Dry, powder.

Oops. I was impatient and made the g. snaps w/o checking your response, Moni. I used 3TBS of fresh, grated ginger. I just had one… they're not… horrible.

These cookies are awesome. I just baked a batch and it took less than 40 minutes to do everything, including cooling time. (It helps that it's below zero outside!)
I didn't have maple syrup and I couldn't get the molasses open so i used 1 cup brown sugar. The resulting mixture was way too dry so i added extra oil and warm water and finally exerting the extra energy to open the molasses and add it in. The results were yummy!
The only change I would recommend is cutting the icing recipe in half (it's way too much), but still using 1/4 tsp extract. (At least, that was my experience with the pure lemon extract.)

I recently demoed Adobe Shadow during the FITC keynote, but I didn't have much time. There was more I wanted to show, so I decided to make a video of my segment and include the parts I had to leave out. I think I managed to cover all the most important features of Shadow in almost exactly ten minutes.
The video below covers:
- Configuring Adobe Shadow.
- A demo of Shadow on four devices simultaneously.
- Integrating Adobe Shadow and LiveReload.
If you want to learn more about Adobe Shadow and/or download it and give it a try, check out the Shadow page on html.adobe.com. For more information on Shadow and LiveReload, see this post on the Adobe Shadow Team Blog.

Each weekday, TheStreet.com Ratings compiles a list of the top five stocks in five categories -- fast-growth, all-around value, large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap -- and publishes these lists in the Ratings section of our Web site.This list, updated daily, is based on data from the close of the previous trading session. Today, fast-growth stocks are in the spotlight. These are stocks of companies that are projected to increase revenue and profit by at least 12% in the coming year and rank near the top of all stocks rated by our proprietary quantitative model, which looks at more than 60 factors. The stocks must also be followed by at least one financial analyst who posts estimates on the Institutional Brokers' Estimate System. They are ordered by their potential to appreciate. Note that no provision is made for off-balance-sheet assets such as unrealized appreciation/depreciation of investments, market value of real estate or contingent liabilities that might affect book value. This could be material for some companies with large underfunded pension plans.
Today leads off with Precision Castparts ( PCP), a manufacturer of complex metal components and products for the aerospace and industrial gas turbine industries. It has been rated a buy since March 2005. The company has completed recent acquisitions to expand its casting, forging and fastener product offerings, and that should fuel revenue growth. Precision also shows strong cash flow that has enabled it to repay debt while maintaining its dividend payout. Since Precision depends on the aerospace industry for its top-line growth, any slowdown in that industry could lead to reduced demand for its products. Any fluctuations in the prices of basic materials or any unseen difficulty in integrating recent acquisitions could also be of concern.
Rated a buy since July 2005, Franklin Resources ( BEN) offers investment advice and management to open-end investment companies. The company displays robust revenue growth, significantly increased net income and improved return on equity. These strengths outweigh the fact that the company is trading at a premium according to our review of its current price compared with earnings and book value.

Types of hyphenated sequences
|Certain course sequences at the University of Washington are hyphenated to indicate that the material covered has been extended over two or three quarters, and that students are expected to take the entire sequence. There are two types of hyphenated sequences. In one, students receive credit (and a grade) after each course, although they should plan to continue in order to receive a complete treatment of the topic. In the other type, the student does not receive credit for any course in the sequence until the last course is completed.
Sequences in which credit is awarded after each course
In the following undergraduate sequences, the student is granted credit (and a grade) after successfully completing each course. For this type of hyphenated sequence, the grades for the individual courses may-and often will-be different. Although the student is not required to complete the sequence, it is strongly recommended that s/he do so. Because the material in the sequences is progressive, the first course in the sequence is normally a prerequisite to the second course, and the second course is normally a prerequisite to the third.
Arts and Sciences
Sequences in which credit is awarded after completion of the sequence
In the following undergraduate sequences, the student is given a grade of N upon completion of the first quarter(s), and the same numerical grade is assigned to all courses in the sequence upon completion of the final quarter. After the computer enters the grade for the last course, the Graduation and Academic Records Office replaces the N grade(s) for the earlier course(s) with the grade that was assigned for the final course, and the credits-earned total and cumulative GPA are adjusted.
Arts and Sciences
Credit for uncompleted sequences
|If for any reason the instructor submits a numerical grade rather than an N for part of an uncompleted sequence, the student receives "terminal credit" and is not required to complete the sequence to receive credit for the completed portion. When special circumstances warrant, a student may request terminal credit; terminal credit is granted at the discretion of the instructor.
Failing the first quarter of a sequence
|If the student fails the first quarter of a sequence, the department may, if it chooses, submit a failing grade (0.0, or NC in a CR/NC sequence) in place of the N normally submitted.
Transfer courses
|If a student transfers to the University a course which is equivalent to part of a UW hyphenated sequence (e.g., PHYS 101), s/he will automatically be allowed credit toward graduation for the course without having to complete the sequence.
When the hyphen is removed before a student completes the sequence
|If a course was hyphenated when a student completed the first portion, but the sequence is no longer hyphenated, the student will receive credit for the portion of the sequence completed. No special request is necessary.

Rihanna Busts A Wine
Rihanna should have totally done this in her "Pour It Up" video instead of that raunchy twerk she debuted to the world!
Rihanna may have a little booty that rival Teyana Taylor made funny jokes about, but that island gal can move her waist! Ri Ri's bestie Melissa posted a series of Instavideos showing Rihanna getting down to T-Pain's new song "Up Down" while they passed around that good Kush and alcohol in celebratory fashion over the end of the "Diamond's World Tour."

Read our helpful guide to second hand Audi A2 .
You won't find any stolen vehicles or insurance write-offs on AA Cars
* Calls may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes. Please refrain from providing credit/debit card information on these calls. If you do so it is at your own risk.
** plus VAT where applicable
AA Cars works closely with thousands of UK used car dealers to bring you one of the largest selections of Audi A2 cars on the market. You can also browse Audi dealers to find a second hand car close to you today. All used Audi A2 on the AA Cars website come with free 12 months breakdown cover.
The Audi A2 was discontinued in early 2005, but that doesn't detract from the fact that it is a supremely efficient, stylish and refined car. Inside the cabin, a lowered floor and raised roof open up plenty of space and make it comfortable for all but the loftiest basketball players, while a claimed 48mpg returns make it a surprisingly economic vehicle too. As a compact MPV/supermini, it sits somewhere between the current Audi A1 and the Ford B Max, and while it might not compare to either the A1's class and sophistication, or the B Max's practicality, it is a clever and pleasing mix of functionality and fun.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/4/2012 (1963 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dogs are considered middle-aged long before humans are. Some of their owners don't believe this. They reject the age guidelines set out by the American Veterinary Medical Association, which holds that one dog year equals seven years of a human life. Whatever the rule of thumb, the bottom line is good pet care.
There was a recent Associated Press story topped by the provocative headline: "Too old to be so young: Vets say cats and small dogs are geriatric at seven." The AVMA claims that a seven-year-old dog weighing less than 50 pounds is like a 44-47-year-old human; 10 years equals 56-60-year-old humans; 15 is like a 76-83-year-old; and 20 is like a 96-105-year-old human.
The same AVMA guidelines view cats in a more straightforward manner: a seven-year-old cat is about 45 human years and 15-year-old cat is approximately 78 years old. If you scan the website, you'll discover that there's a strong correlation between weight or size in dogs and its human age. Thankfully, humans don't calculate their age based upon size and weight or I'd be breaking Guinness world records.
The formula doesn't offer the dog a great deal of time to be middle-aged. Nevertheless, some who operate senior-related businesses, like Old Dog Haven Rescue in the United States, would rather dismiss this age angle. They consider aged dogs as 12 or older. Rescue operators worry that people will cease adopting eight-year-old dogs if they are automatically classified as old.
According to American writer Fadra Nally, "Sixty is the new 40." The Associated Press story explains that Nally classifies larger dogs as old at eight and cats at nine or 10. Because many pets are living longer, I understand the desire by non-experts to adjust AMVA's numbers. Just as in humans, we can't change the laws of nature. I may want to dress like a teenager, but that won't make me 20 again.
Rather than worry about the numbers, isn't it more important to focus on a pet's quality of life?
Many advances in veterinary medicine and changes in owner attitudes can positively affect a pet's health. There were days when now-treatable conditions would have been a death sentence to some pets. Today, as the Associated Press story reports, many owners are perfectly willing to see their pets get insulin shots for diabetes, take their dogs to therapy or even use medical devices -- such as wheelchairs -- to give their animals the best lives possible.
This isn't unlike humans. We used to live much shorter lives than we do now. During the earlier part of the 20th century life expectancy hovered around the 60s. Now Canadians live an average of over 80 years. Should we change the definition of human seniors simply because we're living longer?
Although many pets develop health concerns later in life, the focus should still be on pet care.
My sister, Kathy Edwards, has a Bischon Frise named Scrubs, whose life is a good example of beating the odds of living a long life. At five months old, Scrubs was diagnosed with epilepsy. He wasn't expected to see old age, but is closing in on its 13th birthday.
Over the years, Scrubs has added other conditions to his medical file; he has allergies, thyroid issues, tooth loss and has just been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. But he's had a full, active and happy life. He's on five different medicines but walks daily. And if you didn't talk to Kathy about Scrubs' condition, you'd never know he was sick or classified as geriatric.
Scrubs lives well despite his ailments, because he has an attentive owner. There have been times where I wouldn't mind sis taking care of me -- especially because his wardrobe is nearly as big as mine. Kathy attributes Scrubs' standard of life to his veterinarian. "She really does care," Kathy says.
No owner wants to admit that their spry dog of six is really an old dog susceptible to geriatric diseases. However, facing facts allows you greater options. Just as with humans, the faster you discover a medical issue, the less damage it can cause. It's why humans take additional preventative tests after a certain age. The medical goal is the same: to allow you to catch geriatric-related diseases.
According to the AVMA, geriatric pets can develop many of the same problems seen in older people, such as cancer, heart disease, kidney/urinary tract disease, liver disease, diabetes, joint or bone disease, senility and weakness. If we pay attention to our pet's well being and take them for more frequent veterinary visits, you might be able to prevent, or at least treat, many issues once considered fatal.
Good pet care won't decrease your pet's actual age, but it'll certainly improve your pet's lifestyle.

Weak weld to be fixed at Beaver County nuke plant
FirstEnergy Corp. says a weak weld has been found on the reactor head of one unit at a Beaver County nuclear power plant, which must be fixed before the reactor is restarted.
Company spokeswoman Jennifer Young says the reactor was shut down for refueling and maintenance when the company's inspectors found a weak weld among 66 on the Shippingport plant's Unit 2 reactor vessel head.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman Neil Sheehan says the flaw, left untreated, could have developed into a crack. He and Young say a new weld with a different alloy will be used to fix the problem.
The plant replaced its Unit 1 reactor in 2006. The Unit 2 reactor vessel head, installed in 1987, is scheduled for replacement in 2017. The weld problem will not affect that schedule.

July 1, 2016 Increase to the Oregon Minimum Wage Rate
On July 1, 2016, the Oregon minimum wage rate increased. Oregon went to a two tier minimum wage rate system. If you work in an urban area, at least for now the Portland metro area, the minimum wage rate is $9.75 per hour. If you work outside the urban area, then the minimum wage rate is $9.50. If you work both inside and outside, they must either pay you the higher rate for all hours, or track your hours worked in each and pay you the correct hourly rate for all hours you work inside the metropolitan area. If you were not paid the correct minimum wage rate, you likely have a minimum wage claim. Oregon Minimum Wage.
While it may seem trivial that your Oregon employer or boss did not pay a few cents per hour, it is not. Wage Theft. Oregon minimum wage law entitles you to a minimum wage civil penalty where an Oregon employer or boss pays less than the minimum wage. This means that you could receive up to $2,340.00 as an Oregon minimum wage civil penalty in addition to the unpaid minimum wages you were due. This is true even if you are only a few cents per hour less than the minimum wage rate required by Oregon. Further, should your employment end, and your Oregon employer or boss did not pay the minimum wage for all hours you worked, you may also be entitled to penalty wages under Oregon law of up to $2,340.00. Thus, Oregon wage law may entitle you to a minimum wage civil penalty and Oregon penalty wages, for total penalties of up to $4,680.00, plus your unpaid minimum wages. Further, Oregon minimum wage law allows employees to recover their costs and attorney fees allowing the attorneys at Schuck Law, LLC to take minimum wage cases on a contingency fee basis—essentially being paid by your Oregon employer to win your Oregon minimum wage case. If your Oregon employer fails to pay a large number of employees (over 40) at the new minimum wage, you could have a class action case for unpaid Oregon minimum wages, and the Oregon minimum wage civil penalties for all the affected employees. (Minimum Wage Class Actions in Oregon). Claim your wages and penalties by contacting the Oregon wage claim attorneys at Schuck Law. We can help you recover the wages and penalties you are due.

Employee Wins Appeal and Can Now Prosecute Her Minimum Wage Claim
The Oregon wage claim attorneys at Schuck Law, LLC recently won the client/employee the right to proceed on her wrongful deduction and minimum wage claims. The Oregon Circuit Court had previously ruled that because the employee was a union member, she could not proceed on her wrongful deduction and minimum wage claims in Oregon courts. The Oregon Court of Appeals reversed stating the neither Oregon wage and hour law, or the collective bargaining agreement ("CBA") restricted the employee from prosecuting her Oregon wrongful deduction or minimum wage claim in Oregon Courts. (Court of Appeals Opinion). This case helps Oregon employees by providing them with the right to bring a lawsuit and helping them collect wrongfully deducted wages and minimum wages, even where they belong to a union.
Oregon Wage Claim Attorneys.
The wage claim lawyers at Schuck Law, LLC regularly prosecute Oregon minimum wage claim lawsuits for employees who were not paid all their minimum wages. Our wage claim attorneys also prosecute class action minimum wage lawsuits for groups of employees who were not paid their minimum wages because of a uniform practice of the employers. (Minimum Wage Class Actions in Oregon) In addition to recovery of minimum wages, and minimum wage civil penalty, an employee may also sue to recover their attorney fees incurred in the prosecution of the minimum wage claim lawsuit.

Sick leavePublished August 1st, 2008 in Blogging, Personal.
I have acute bronchitis. I've been too wiped out to to do anything but sleep (and cough and wheeze). I've been using an albuterol inhaler and I'm now taking an antibiotic. (Sticklers for evidence-based medicine, take note: in this case the antibiotic may be just a placebo. [See Fahey T, Smucny J, Becker L, Glazier R. Antibiotics for acute bronchitis. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2004, Issue 4. Art. No.: CD000245. DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD000245.pub2.])

Migraine and then bronchitis, sheesh; some days you feel like you gotta die to get better …
Yeup; the last few times I've had bronchitis, the docs just tell me to use my inhaler, rest up, and drink fluids. No antibiotics, despite hacking up green slime. Shockingly, I got better in a week with or without the AB, so there's no point in being the breeding medium for AB-R bacteria! (Besides, it's difficult to remember those 3x/day meds.)
Hope you get to feeling better!
Aug 1st, 2008 at 7:53 pm
My experience is that antibiotics don't usually make much difference but when they do it is almost miraculous and I wonder why I didn't I these a few days ago.
I can rationalise the trials as having significant biases. Patients are probably recruited with milder symptoms than in the trial protocol and it is unlikely that patients who have had previous success with antibiotics would enrol.

Usually, albuterol makes me write more, along with making me more jittery. Hope you feel better… And come back soon.

You'll be glad to know that last week I got a pneumovax. Dang, but my arm was sore, and I couldn't raise my hand head-high for a week — it was worse than a tetanus vax!
(No, I didn't submit that to VAERS. I figured I just reacted because I'd probably had some bronchial infection that "tasted" similar to one of the things in the vax, and thus reacted more.)
Hope you're feeling better,

Hughston Hospital Recognized as 'Top Performer on Key Quality Measures'
COLUMBUS, GA – Hughston Hospital in Columbus, Georgia was named one of the nation's top performers on key quality measures by The Joint Commission, the leading accreditor of health care organizations in America. The Joint Commission issues the recognitions based on data reported about evidence-based clinical processes that are shown to improve care. The Joint Commission has recognized Hughston Hospital in Columbus for achieving excellence in performance on its accountability measures during 2010 for surgical care.
Hughston Hospital is one of only 405 U.S. hospitals and critical access hospitals earning the distinction of top performers on key quality measures for attaining and sustaining excellence in accountability measure performance. Hughston Hospital is the only hospital in West Central Georgia and East Alabama to earn this recognition.
To be recognized as a top performer on key quality measures, an organization must score at least 95 percent on two performance standards. First, a hospital must achieve performance of 95 percent or above on a single, composite score that includes all the accountability measures for which it reports data to The Joint Commission, including measures that had fewer than 30 eligible cases or patients. Second, a hospital must also meet a 95 percent performance threshold for every accountability measure for which it reports data to The Joint Commission, excluding measures with fewer than 30 eligible cases or patients.
"Hughston Hospital has enjoyed a long standing national reputation for clinical excellence and this award validates the continued commitment by our exceptional employees coupled with the highly skilled members of the medical staff," said James R. "Butch" Wheeler, CEO of Hughston Hospital. "We are honored to be named to the list of The Joint Commission's Top Performers on Key Quality Measures, especially since this year marks the first time the award has been presented."
"Today, the public expects transparency in the reporting of performance at the hospitals where they receive care, and The Joint Commission is shining a light on the top performing hospital such as Hughston Hospital that have achieved exceptional performance on a number of vital measures of quality of care," says Mark R. Chassin, M.D., FACP, M.P.P., M.P.H, president, The Joint Commission.

10 Things We Do Every Damn Time We Go To Sephora (Illustrated by GIFs)
Last weekend I popped into Sephora to restock my basic brown eyeliner and stumbled out hours later, hundreds of dollars poorer, with an armful of fuchsia lip gloss and a gnarly perfume hangover. The worst part? This happens every single freakin' time I go to Sephora. I really should know better by now, but after polling the rest of the Frisky staffers, I've realized that Sephora psychosis is a universal experience. We all must accept that there are certain things that will happen every time you visit this Mecca of Makeup, no matter what your intentions or how much you try to resist. They are as follows…
1. Cover the back of your hand with a rainbow of makeup samples and then rub your skin raw trying to get them off:
2. Douse yourself with perfume testers until you start feeling woozy:
3. Get in an awkward confrontation with the group of teenage girls who are hogging the mirror:
4. Try to teach yourself contouring, fail miserably:
5. Buy a tube of lipstick, swearing it is not the same color you always buy. Get home and discover it is actually the EXACT same lipstick you bought at Sephora three months ago:
6. Convince yourself that spending $70 on a one-ounce jar of moisturizer is totally reasonable:
7. Test out every sea salt hair spray in the store, until your hair is crunchy and defeated as opposed to bouncy and beachy:
8. Summon every ounce of will power you have to avoid buying any of the cute mini size things by the cash register, but end up buying like 10 of them anyway:
9. Finally get to the register and almost faint when you hear the total:
10. Leave the store and wonder why everyone's looking at you weird:

Beginning English Language Learners (ELLs) value reading more than intermediate and advanced ELLs, says a small study on the literacy motivation of middle school students. ELL students also reported a strong interest in reading and writing activities outside of school in which they served as both learners and teachers.
"Students who perceive academic literacy tasks as difficult or lacking in value may well find value (and feel competent in) the reading and writing they do outside of school in a family or community setting," the authors write.
This wide array of literacy activities within the family and the community included helping family members with academic literacy activities such as helping parents study for exams, tutoring a relative in English or another language and helping parents communicate with employers. Several students said they helped parents or guardians with translation, for example, in getting a passport or to communicate with teachers at school conferences.
Most students said they enjoyed read-alouds by the teacher in class. They found reading to be easiest in their English for Speakers of Languages (ESOL) classes and most difficult in classes such as social studies and science where a common text was used. Students also said that history and science were difficult because of vocabulary and unfamiliar topics.
Participants in the study were 27 boys and 23 girls enrolled in 3 ESOL classes in grades 6, 7, and 8. The students responded to a 20-question survey on literacy motivation. The survey was modified version of the Motivation to Read Profile (Gambrell et al., 1996) that was adapted for adolescents. Students' answers were categorized into 2 separate scores: Self concept as a reader and value of reading. In addition, 8 students with intermediate and advanced skills in speaking English were interviewed by the researchers.
The survey was developed in part using expectancy value theory, which indicates that students who place a higher value on a particular type of learning (such as reading) and expect to be successful will likely have higher motivation and achievement than those who place a lower value on that type of learning and/or have a lower expectation of their own success.

My Rich Habits study has received international attention in the media. Newspapers, magazines, online sites, TV, radio and podcasts in 25 countries, so far, have shared bits and pieces of my research.
As a result, I have received tens of thousands of emails and comments regarding the research. The vast majority of the emails and commentary have been very supportive of my efforts. However, there are some who have been, and continue to be, offended by my research.
My critics, I learned, do not like the fact that my research concludes that your habits (behaviors, thinking and emotions) dictate if you will be rich or poor. They don't like this conclusion because it places the onus of poverty on the very shoulders of the individual, who has certain habits and beliefs that are making them poor.
They don't like this because it means that your financial circumstances in life are determined by your habitual behavior, thinking and emotions and not outside forces.
If you are personally responsible for the circumstances of your life, this means you have no one to blame but yourself. And that doesn't sit well for the millions of "victims" out there.
You see, my critics emphatically believe that poor people are victims. Victims of society, victims of the rich, victims of government policies, victims of Wall Street, victims of …. , well, you fill in the blank.
I have stopped fighting with my critics. I can't win. They are either lost in ideology or are pushing some agenda and my research is challenging their ideology or interfering with their agenda. I am forcing them to confront a truth they do not want to hear – you are the cause of your poverty.
I have been asked by many friends and foes for some background on my study. So, here it is.
I applied my CPA analytical skills in my research efforts. Skills that are unique to CPAs. We are trained over many years to develop skills to help us gather and analyze data. And then we spend the bulk of our professional lives gathering and analyzing data. These skills are different from the skills of scientists, economists and behavioral experts who conduct studies for a living. I acknowledge that my study methodology and approach most likely deviates from the exacting study methodologies and processes these study experts created in order to help them in their study business. These experts have manufactured specific rules, processes and methodologies that they use to help guide them in conducting their scientific or economic studies. CPA's have also created specific rules, processes and methodologies that guide us in our profession. Not being a study expert, I used those CPA skills to help me answer two fundamental questions:
#1 Why are some people rich and some people poor?
#2 What do the rich and the poor do from the moment they wake up in the morning to the moment they go to bed at night?
Below is a good summary of my study:
- I interviewed 233 wealthy individuals and 128 poor individuals over a 3 year period beginning in March 2004 and ending in March 2007.
- Of the 233 millionaires, 177 were self-made millionaires and 56 inherited their money.
- Of the 177 self-made millionaires, 105 (59%) came from middle-class households and 72 (41%) came from poor households.
- I spent another 16 months analyzing and summarizing the data, completing my initial analysis sometime around August – October 2008.
- Rich Group: $160,000 in Annual Gross Income and $3.2 million in Net Assets.
- Poor Group: Less than $35,000 in Annual Gross Income and less than $5,000 in Liquid Assets.
- About 50% of the responses were physical meetings and the rest were via phone interviews and/or emails.
- None of the subjects were aware they were being interviewed as I was trying to control for individual bias in their responses. Experts call this a blind study.
- I asked them 20 broad questions (144 sub-questions) re: their daily activities. When you do the math, and I did, that equals 51,984 total questions.
- I tracked their responses in individual physical folders and subsequently transferred the data to two large excel worksheets for each group. I then consolidated these into what has become my Research Summary schedule. If you'd like a copy let me know.
- I analyzed their responses over a 16 month period, accumulating them in individual folders and then broke these down into specific categories. I continued to analyze the data for 6 more years after completing the initial analysis. To date, I have documented 334 categories, or 334 different habits, behaviors, thinking and choices of both groups.
- Most of the interviews were geographically distributed as follows: 50% northeast, 20% southeast, 10% midwest and the balance scattered across the country.
- Racially the mix was: 80% Caucasian with the balance Spanish, Portuguese, African American and other.
- 19% were Jewish and the balance primarily Christian.
- In the wealthy group, 214 were men the rest women. In the poor group 114 were men, the rest women.
- Ages ranged from 42 to 85. 60% were age 60 or older.
I gathered data for both groups regarding their careers/employment, the percentage born to wealth, poverty or the middle-class, spending habits, academic performance, education, perceptions of wealth/poverty, various health data, inherited money data, gambling habits, home ownership, car ownership, reading habits, relationship management, savings habits, self-improvement habits, time management habits, beliefs, vacation habits, volunteering habits, networking habits, voting habits, work-related data.
For close to 18 months I spoke to nearly 2,000 high school and college students around the country, sharing my research.
In an effort to get my Rich Habits message out to the world, I wrote several books sharing my findings.
My most famous book, Rich Habits, broke the top 100 in all books sold on Amazon in the U.S. for three consecutive weeks in 2013. It continues to be a consistent bestseller on Amazon around the world.
My second book, Rich Kids became an Amazon bestseller in 2015 and has won several literary awards.
My third book, Change Your Habits Change Your Life went on to become an instant bestseller on Amazon and continues to be one of my most sought after books.
My fourth book, Rich Habits Poor Habits, is scheduled for release in the U.S. in October, 2017.
In the course of my speaking engagements, I've given away more than 2,000 books to those that need them the most, the poor (each book costs me about $3.50).

Leighton Meester Lights Up NYC (PHOTOS)
Leighton Meester is one of New York City's hottest commodities which is why she was on hand to light the Empire State building red and white on Thursday afternoon.Thanks to her Gossip Girl status,
Leighton was (of course) looking chic in a tan blouse along with a printed skirt and is it just us, or has she considerably lightened her locks?
The famous skyscraper changes color every so often and the new red and white hues have a special meaning.
Leighton, along with fashion designer Vera Wang, flipped the switch in honor of the 5th Annual DKMS Gala to raise awareness for bone marrow donors in New York City.
Beautiful on the inside and the outside!

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio State was 3-0 without Maurice Clarett during the Buckeyes run to the national championship last year. Now theyll have to play without him again.
Clarett was suspended from the team for multiple games on Friday for his role in an exaggerated theft report. Yet with the suspension Clarett was allowed to begin practicing with the team. He was held out of the teams first 23 preseason practices because of eligibility questions.
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel and athletic director both declined to be specific when asked how long a multiple-game suspension was.
I dont know the exact definition of multiple, Tressel said.
Asked if the suspension could be for the whole season, he said, I dont know that. I suppose.
Geiger said, Multiple means multiple.
Told that the word multiple was vague, he said, We used a good word then.
Clarett, who rushed for an Ohio State freshman record 1,237 yards last year, helped lead the Buckeyes to the national championship. He scored the winning touchdown in Ohio States 31-24 double-overtime victory over defending champion Miami in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 3.
There were no guarantees that Clarett might even be back for another bowl trip.
Asked if he had been assured that Clarett would return at some point this season, Tressel said, I havent been assured of anything.
The university received several pages of allegations from the NCAA against Clarett on Thursday and discussed them with the sophomore on Friday.
Clarett smiled and waved as he left almost three-hour long meeting at Ohio States St. John Arena, accompanied by his grim-faced mother, Miechelle, and three attorneys. Clarett wore shorts, running shoes, a backwards San Diego Padres cap and a Bob Marley T-shirt that said, No More Trouble on the back.
Clarett later watched the Buckeyes scrimmage at Ohio Stadium.
The NCAA and Ohio State had been investigating Claretts acknowledged overstatement of the value of items stolen in April from a vehicle he borrowed from a local car dealership. In a police report, he said he lost items totaling more than $10,000 when thieves broke into the 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
The suspension was only for non-academic allegations. A 10-person university panel probing charges of academic fraud involving Clarett is a completely separate and distinct investigation from that which led to his suspension on Friday.
Our next step is to make a recommendation to the NCAA concerning the length of Maurices suspension, Geiger said. Then, we wait for their reply.
Absolutely, he said. Anyone who feels strongly about what

Gary.J replied to L22EEW's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHad a mini 803 in the front for just over a year now, but just bought a mini 805 so I can have front and rear covered. the 803 is a superb HD camera and is small enough to hardly be noticeable behind the rear view mirror. The 805 is slightly larger but will be swapped with the 803 and has very good reviews. The pair will have cost me about £150 in total, so very affordable when compared with other quality dash cams. Can't really see the point in having a rear view dashcam built into the front as you see more of the car interior than you do of the road behind, so other than being able to watch the expressions of the driver and passengers when in a crash, your view tends to be limited behind.
Gary.J liked a post in a topic: Dash Cam #2
Another thing to consider is the speed of your memory stick. Try another one that has good speed writeups. I use one of these. http://www.mymemory.co.uk/USB-Flash-Drives/SanDisk/SanDisk-64GB-Ultra-Fit-USB-3.0-Flash-Drive---130MB_s Takes up almost no room at all, and works well.
I do know if you put a lot of tracks onto a stick that there isn't enough memory in the car system to access certain features. Try splitting the number into two or 3 folders and see what happens. If no change, try 500 tracks on a stick. I have about 250 tracks in each folder, with a few folders with single albums on. No problem with missing anything. Of course, you could try not using shuffle.

Gary.J replied to onlyoneunited's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubThe wheel bearing itself has nothing to do with the ABS. There is a sensor and sensor ring which operate together. I'd try getting the sensor cleaned and check that the sensor ring is fitted correctly.
Gary.J replied to ukcal's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI use an E-prance 0803, works well. A dashcam is the one thing I'd always recommend as a priority nowadays. As for insurance companies, they are still behind the times and don't seem to offer any sort of discount, in the main, for having one. If I replace mine, I'll be looking at models that have 2 pickups, as obviously being hit from behind doesn't actually get shown on just a forward facing camera apart from any jolt that may move the car out of it's normal movement. Either that, or fit a second individual camera facing rearwards. This site is very good for dashcam reviews and can give you some ideas http://www.techmoan.com/blog/category/car-dvr-dashcams

Gary.J replied to Nathan_M's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubThere are DAB add ons that are available for any FM radio as they resend the signal as an FM one. Personally, since I got my ST with the Sony DAB setup I've found it's not any better than FM for signal reception. Actually tends to be worse simply because a fainter signal causes either complete drop outs, or crackling/popping that sounds like the speakers are about to blow. Obviously the benefits are good in that certain stations are DAB only in some areas, but I personally think FM is going to be around for another few years.
Gary.J replied to ChillyWilly's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubIf its the standard race red then there is no laquer coating on top, hence the lack of a pen in the kit. Laquer coatings are usually only on cars with metallic or pearlescent paintwork as they are harder to repaint, and easier to degrade in weather, otherwise.

Gary.J replied to Golfnut66's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubNot having broken the front of my ST in 18 months, I can't help on that score. the squealing brakes though, may well be you have a worn pad indicator telling you it's time to change the pads. A lot of pads have a piece of spring steel which touches the disc when the pads are worn to near their limits, causing a screeching/squealing noise.
The key needs to be inside the car to start. Unfortunately, if you then get out of the car with the key in your pocket, the engine still carries on running, so don't do what some people do and nip out to post a letter, or buy a paper.
ChillyWilly liked a post in a topic: Fiesta St Questions...
Gary.J started following Fiesta St Questions...
If you have the style pack on the ST, the front calipers are larger, so 14 inch wheels will not fit the front. But, you could still use a 14 inch as long as you're prepared to swap if necessary a rear wheel onto the front, if you have a front tyre flat, then use the 14 inch on the rear. A lot of messing around really.
GingerFlame liked a post in a topic: 2 Problems With My New Fiesta
Gary.J replied to Gb270_calum's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubJust book it into the garage. Messing around with the car with no experience or idea means you're more likely to screw things up. Then guess who will refuse to fix any problems under warrantee?

One of the good guys – gone
A couple of weeks ago, a tragic accident occurred in Ootischenia. A friend of mine, Karilio Alimkulov, was up on a ladder doing some repair work when he fell and hit his head on cement. Unfortunately, he was working alone and was not discovered until too late.
Recently, he and I only visited occasionally—while we were shopping or when we were dining out at the same time. In the past, though, we spent a lot of time together. His deep interest in literature and his desire to raise things to a higher level made us kindred spirits.
He was a scholar of the highest calibre. He studied at two major universities, completing his Ph.D work at Moscow State University in 1976. He wrote his Ph.D dissertation on the Kyrgyzian and Russian novelist Chingiz Aitmatov, author of The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years.
While Karilio was studying at Moscow State University, he met Lucy Kazakoff, fell in love and married her.
They moved to Castlegar where Lucy had grown up, and there they raised two children, Armand and Elena, who now work in highly professional jobs in Vancouver.
Upon arrival in Castlegar, Karilio taught Russian language courses for Selkirk College in the Outreach program at Grand Forks and Castlegar. Later, for a brief period, he taught first year Russian language courses at Selkirk College.
At the same time, he was hired by the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ to put together curriculum materials for the Russian-After-School program, which pre-dated School District #9's Russian Biliingual program.
During the 1980s and 1990s, Karilio committed himself to developing materials for School District # 9's Russian bilingual program. He was hired to do translations and to create booklets for children and teaching materials for the primary grades.
He taught workshops in the Russian language for local area Russian language teachers and was also a substitute teacher in Russian bilingual classrooms.
Indeed, almost everything in the Russian component of the bilingual program had his hand in it. Some of this curriculum development he did under contract, but some of it was voluntary.
He had a warm and gentle approach with students, but he was also highly disciplined in what he expected. There was a right way to do things and a precise way to speak and write the Russian language—and he expected students to reach that level and not to accept anything less.
In the 1990s, Karilio was hired by Cominco in Trail to translate technical materials related to a new processing system Cominco was looking at from Russia. Karilio's son Armand told me Karilio viewed this job as one of the most difficult he'd ever worked at because of the chemical and engineering words.
I probably knew Karilio best when Marge Malloff and I co-ordinated Selkirk College's Western Canada tour of Russian writers—Vaschenko, Fokina, Issaev, Petelin, and Belov. Though we toured these writers to Alberta and B.C. universities, the major conference took place at the Brilliant Cultural Centre.
Karilio produced and directed a drama for the conference entertainment program. As well, he spent days preparing translations of the writings of the Russian writers Selkirk was bringing to Canada. These pieces were sent ahead by the writers, and only Karilio was familiar enough with the creative aspect of language to do the translation.
In many ways, Karilio was a genius in regard to Russian literature and the Russian language. This community, the Russian bilingual program, and the School District had the services of this outstanding educator for many years before he moved on to fine woodworking and photography.
Had he not married the love of his life and followed her to the Kootenays, we would not have had his immense contribution to education in Castlegar and area.

Paula Abdul's Paparazzi Portraits (PHOTOS)
When most celebrities see paparazzi, they usually act annoyed, run away or lash out (sometimes they even choke them). But Paula Abdul clearly is not "most celebrities." No, Paula sees the paparazzi not as an occasional annoyance that comes along with be famous, but as an opportunity to take some new family portraits, such as these, which were taken with her cousin.
Click through the gallery to see Paula's latest photo session. Who knows, one of them may end up on her Christmas card.

Anyone have opinions on DrRacket's yellow default color for comments? Is it OK, great, lousy? If you want to email me directly, I will summarize responses. You could also mention if you use a background color other than white. (Reason for asking... I'm writing a new Emacs mode for Racket. I have gotten the syntax-coloring very consistent with DrRacket, but I am personally bothered by the comments' yellow snow color scheme -- perhaps yellow snow with a liver condition. Probably, it just takes a while to get used to, since I have personally been using green and then cyan for a long time. So, I plan to have the Emacs mode's default comment color be consistent with DrRacket, unless I hear huge opposition to the yellow.) -- http://www.neilvandyke.org/

iTunes 11 Has Landed. Grab Yourself a Copy
So it's finally here, iTunes 11, complete with a cleaner look and an easier to use interface that will allow even the most tech challenged amongst us to use the software without complications.
With every new update there are new features added, and with iTunes 11 there are a number of nifty little features hiding behind the curtain, waiting to be unveiled.
Music Library
One of these features is the expanded view for your albums, which means that you get all the information you need (such as tracks and metadata) in one place without the need to click through to other pages. I'm confident that a lot of you will probably find this feature very useful.
The second update that I quite like on the music library section is the fact that you can now purchase albums and songs direct from the iTunes screen you are on, rather than having to head over to the Apple iTunes store.
Mini Player
A lot of what Apple has done with this new update shows a lot more aesthetic changes happening, especially with images and photos which have become the forefront of the new iTunes 11 design.
The Mini Player has also taken a new look, and now includes the 'Up Next' feature which really shows its full potential on Desktop setups. In terms of what the Up Next feature does, well, it does exactly what it say's on the tin by showing you what tracks are set to play next and in what order they will play in. You will also get album art as well as title and artist information.

Vortec-Powered Chevy Trailblazer Wins Best in Off-Road Race
18 July 2000With Two Wins, Trailblazer Ready For Baja 2000
LAS VEGAS - General Motors' off-road racing Vortec-powered Chevrolet TrailBlazer won its second consecutive race at the Best In The Desert Nevada 2000 on July 14 in Las Vegas. After six days and almost 2000 miles through some of Nevada's toughest terrain, the TrailBlazer (#1481) won the Trick Truck class with an overall time of 26:28:36. It beat the next entry by more than 30 minutes and was the second best overall time out of the 66 truck and car-based entries. The TrailBlazer, featuring a durable and efficient Vortec 5.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, was driven by four accomplished drivers during the week-long event that began and ended in Las Vegas. The Herzog Motorsports team of Brian Stewart, Mark Miller, Bekki Freeman and Ryan Arciero traded responsibilities behind the wheel. "This new TrailBlazer and Vortec I6 engine were incredible," said Stewart. "Now that we have two major victories with this truck, we have proven that we have a winning combination and can compete against any V8 competitor." A second TrailBlazer (#1480) co-driven by Larry Ragland and Ricky Johnson did not complete the event. While leading the race on the third day, Ricky Johnson and co-rider Steve Bothwell experienced a high-speed rollover, damaging the truck beyond immediate repair. Both Johnson and Bothwell walked away from the accident. The damaged truck, with the Vortec I6 engine still running after the incident, will be repaired and ready for competition at the Baja 2000. The Nevada 2000 was the second of three off-road races GM is competing in this year with the Vortec-powered TrailBlazer. The SUV won its debut race at the Baja 500 in June in Mexico. Veteran-racer Larry Ragland captured both the overall four-wheel vehicle win and the Trophy Truck divisional title. The race season for the TrailBlazer will culminate at the SCORE Baja 2000 on November 9-16 in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. The TrailBlazer features a computer-designed carbon-fiber body mounted on a tube frame chassis. It is powered by a race specific all-aluminum 5.0-liter I6 engine featuring dual overhead camshafts and a Hydra-Matic three-speed automatic transmission. The Vortec I6 engine produces 600 horsepower at 7500 rpm and 450 lb-ft of torque at 6000 rpm. The same Vortec 5.0-liter race engine powered a GMC Envoy, with Larry Ragland behind the wheel, to a recent overall win at the International Pikes Peak Hill Climb. "The Nevada 2000 race provided a great opportunity for GM to demonstrate the outstanding capabilities of the Chevy TrailBlazer and its Vortec inline six-cylinder engine against V8 competitors," said Brian Miller, GM Racing off-road program manager. "With two wins under our belt, we are now ready for the ultimate challenge at the Baja 2000."
