DAG McCrony got off leash for awhile and the legislators didn't like it. It seems that some of the folks on Jones Street are questioning whether the DAG has the authority to make the sweeping privatization changes that he has proposed at the Department of Commerce
Gov. Pat McCrory's administration is poised to move dozens of jobs and millions of public dollars to a recently formed private nonprofit early next year.
The DAG's proposal is based on a "brief and vaguely written provision in the state budget passed earlier this year". This isn't the first time that poorly written legislation has caused problems. It seems that some in the legislature interpret the vaguely written provision differently than the DAG:
"I think we made it pretty clear to them to get the (public-private partnership) started and no more than that," [state senator Harry] Brown said Friday.
It seems that the lessons of the DAG's impotent vetoes have already been forgotten, and the NCGA is about to remind McCrony who is in charge.
But here's the funniest part of the article:
The reorganization plan ... must first be approved by the Office of State Budget and Management. Budget Director Art Pope said late Friday that his staff is reviewing the plan, which he received in the past couple of days, and that he hopes to make a decision early next week on whether to approve it.
Yeah, right, Art. You just saw the plan a couple of days ago...after you wrote it! When Pope Art I reminds us that he's deciding whether to approve the plan, he's reminding Harry Brown and the other legislators that he has bought and paid for the NCGA.
So let's not forget who's REALLY in charge.
On second thought
Perhaps this quote from the article is the funniest one:
Sen. Brent Jackson ... asked [McCrory advisor Tony] Almeida what General Statute commerce officials were using to move the divisions over to the new partnership.
Almeida responded that the department was following guidelines in Senate Bill 127.
"Refresh my memory someone," Jackson continued. "I don't think Senate Bill 127 passed, did it?" Almeida acknowledged that it didn't but that Commerce officials were using it as a road map anyway.
Alternate Realityville, where DAG McCrony lives, is a very special place!

Stepping in sh/t
Sure hope someone is prepared to get an injunction stopping this piece of crap.
That would be some trial
Pat's lawyer: The law we are basing this on, your honor, isn't technically a law per se. But it was some words written on a piece of paper. A bill, they called it.
Judge: Injunction granted. Plus I sentence Pat and his McCronies to watch the Schoolhouse Rock "I'm Just a Bill". Let's say, 25 times in a row. Get out of my courtroom; your stupidity might be contagious.

With the summer heat in full swing, the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is offering local residents some tips on keeping their lawns green this season.
The suggestions from the extension office come after the state has suffered multiple years of severe drought conditions. Those conditions last summer forced many residents to cut back on water usage due to restrictions.
"After last year's severe heat and drought, the frequent and abundant rains and mild weather that followed this spring and early summer were most welcome," said extension agent Lyle Zoeller in a written statement issued Friday. "But we are now back in a typical summertime pattern of hot and dry. Sprinklers are once again running to keep turf and plants alive as the temperatures bump the 100-degree mark."
Zoeller said lawn owners will likely begin seeing dry, yellowed or dead spots in their grass as summer temperature continue to rise.
Zoeller recommended that owners make sure their grass is getting the proper amount of water at the right times during the week.
"Lawns need about three-fourths to 1½-inch of water per week (again, depending on soil type, etc.) to maintain peak performance," he said. "The best watering scheme is to help the grass develop a deep root system that can take advantage of a larger reservoir of water by watering deeply and as infrequently as possible," Zoeller wrote.
"That may mean watering every three to seven days in the summer, depending on soil type, temperature, rainfall, etc."
Zoeller also suggested checking the distribution of sprinkler heads to ensure better lawn coverage, and also warns residents to watch for signs that chinch bugs may be damaging their lawns.
Early symptoms of chinch bugs include stunted growth, wilting, and then yellowing. Finally, the grass dies in irregular patches, Zoeller said.

New Delhi : The Delhi unit of the Congress Party today announced that it would be observing February 14 (Sunday) as 'Chhalawa Divas' to expose the failures of the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP capital city government.
Senior party leaders P.C. Chacko, In-charge Delhi Affairs, Ajay Maken, President, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee and other Office-bearers addressed the media.
Chacko said, "As you all know, tomorrow (Sunday) is the first anniversary of the Kejriwal Government.The Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee is observing that day as 'Chhalawa Divas' and details will be given by our DPCC President Shri Ajay Maken and would request him to explain the programme. He also informed that a booklet in the form of report card on the performance of Delhi Government will be released. Besides, a short film was also shown to the media highlighting the failures of Delhi Government.
Chacko, Maken, Arvinder Singh Lovely, former ministers Yoganand Shastri, Mangat Ram Singhal, Narendra Nath, Dr. A.K. Walia, Dr. Kiran Walia, Haroon Yusuf along with Ms. Sharmishtha Mukherjee, Chief Spokesperson of DPCC and others unveiled the booklet and a copy of the same was distributed to the media.
Maken highlighted the failures, double speak and going back on all the promises made by Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party to the people of Delhi, thereby deceiving the citizens of Delhi.
The report card predictably gave '0' marks out of 100 to the one year of governance of the Aam Aadmi Party led by Arvind Kejriwal.
Then key sections of the report card includes a section on the U-turn on principles, failure of governance, development, price rise, anti-women AAP Government, let down of the poor and marginalised sections, non-understanding of procedures and tall claims and over-hype by the Aam Aadmi Party.

Cessna has selected Winglet Technology's elliptical winglet for the new Citation Ten. The winglet was jointly developed and certified by Winglet Technology and Cessna Aircraft during a collaborative STC project. Winglet Technology initially received FAA approval of the STC permitting installation of the elliptical winglets on the Citation X in June last year. Since that time, Winglet Technology has received EASA (Europe), ANAC (Brazil), TCCA (Canada) and DGAC (Mexico) STC approval for winglet installations on the Citation X. The winglet's elliptical shape ensures the lift distribution of the wing closely matches optimum lift distribution along the span of the wing, which minimizes the induced drag of the aircraft.

Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 5 Preorder Bonuses
After several delays, Rockstar Games finally announced the PC release date for Grand Theft Auto V, and it's due on March 24, 2015. Along with this valuable piece of news we also learned about the preorder bonuses for players who wish to pre-purchase the game before that date.
Grand Theft Auto V is an open-world crime epic set in the LA-inspired city of Los Santos around the lives of Franklin, a street hustler looking for real opportunities; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement isn't all he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent psychopath.
Both physical and digital versions of GTA5 have the same pre-order bonuses. Everyone who purchases it before the official release date will receive $1,000,000 in-game currency, half of which will be given in Story Mode, and the other half on GTA Online.
There's also a special offer if you preorder on Rockstar Warehouse website before February 1st: you get a bonus $300,000 for Grand Theft Auto Online, as well as a free digital download of one of the following games: Bully, LA Noire, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, Manhunt, Max Payne 2, Max Payne 3, Midnight Club II.
If you want to pick up a small cash bonus for GTA Online and get a free game along with it, then preordering on Rockstar Warehouse will be the most reasonable choice. Otherwise (or if you want the game at a slight discount), be sure to check out the offers on G2A and Amazon below.
Do you think $300,000 on GTA Online is enough to sway you to buy there? Let us know which offer you think is best.

Preorder Now
This game is absolutely going to be a smashing hit, as it not only has the best of previous Civilization titles but also brings in a ton of new and unique features. It's definitely one of the games in 2014 you don't want to miss out on so be sure to get it early!
Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Preorder Bonuses & Deals
Black Ops 2 was the expected new Call of Duty title to come out this year. It's already breaking all previous preorder records set by this franchise which isn't unexpected. However, the pre-order bonuses aren't in my opinion nearly as good as you'd expect, especially from different retailers. Below you can take a look at Gamestop, Game, Best Buy and Amazon's bonuses and decide which one is best for you.
GameStop has tiered preorder bonuses, which will unlock over time. The first wave gets a double-sided poster featuring artwork from Black Ops 2. There will be three more waves of bonuses leading to the game's release, but they haven't been announced yet. As another bonus for Gamestop customers you can also get a Modern Warfare 3 prestige token if you're a PowerUp rewards member.
- Price (PC): $59,99
- Preorder from Gamestop
UK retailer GAME also offers a prestige token for their customers. The prestige token unlocks a choice of either a weapon, double XP or a new class, or some other bonus.
- Price (PC): £39.99
- Preorder from GAME
Best Buy
Best Buy gave away dog tags for the first Black Ops title, and they are doing it again. This time it's slightly different though, since the dog tags have the game's logo printed on them. If you preorder online you'll get the tags when you receive your Black Ops box, but you can preorder in their stores if you want to immediately.
- Best Buy Price: $59,99
- Preorder from Best Buy
Amazon usually has the best game preorder bonuses as evident from my numerous recommendations, but this time they definitely have the worst one. All you get from prepurchasing through Amazon is a downloadable Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 desktop wallpaper. In my opinion it's definitely not worth it, as you'll very likely be able to get the same just by doing a Google image search.
- Amazon Price: $59,99
- Preorder from Amazon
Even though we don't even have all the bonuses yet, it's clearly best to preorder Black Ops 2 from Gamestop. Amazon bonus is a huge disappointment, which is actually puzzling considering preorders from Black Ops 2 broken their every record and they expect it to be the bestselling game of all times. Fortunately you can easily compare the various bonuses offered on this site so make sure to pick one you want most.
Resident Evil 6 Preorder Bonuses
Resident Evil 6 will launch on October 2 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Capcom announced a PC version as well with this post saying that the company will be revealing more on that later. Along with a ton of news lately about the game, including an awesome trailer, we now know the preorder bonuses as well.
Unlike many other games, Capcom decided not to give a huge in-game advantage to customers who pre-order Resident Evil 6. However, that doesn't mean getting an early copy of this game isn't worth it.
The preorder bonuses come in the form of maps, and are different depending on which retailer you choose: Best Buy, Amazon or Gamestop. The maps are available for the Mercenary mode: if you're not familiar with it, read the official description below:
The super-intense Mercenaries Mode lets you play as your favorite characters from Resident Evil 6 as you fight your way through hordes of enemies within a given time limit. Chaining together multiple kills and finding other surprises will help you reach the highest score and prove that you're the world's greatest mercenary!
Below are the maps for each retailer.
Best Buy
The map exclusively available to Best Buy customers is the Rail Yard. This is a multi-layer stage, where enemies can be found from inside the trains to the roof of the yard, and staying mobile is your best chance to stay alive.
Gamestop-exclusive map is The Catacombs, featuring dark tunnels and booby traps. One of the screenshots reveals a spike trap, which looks like a very interesting new element that will add some more thinking to the game.
High Seas Fortress map is available for Amazon customers and is my favorite map from these three. This huge map takes place on an aircraft carrier, and the official post states the players will hone their martial art skills, hinting on a bigger emphasis on melee combat. Interesting.
The High Seas Fortress map available from Amazon seems to be most exciting, so I'll probably be getting it from there. Remember, the map you have access to depends on the retailer, so choose which you think is best. The other maps will be available later also, but will come at an additional price.
Which map will you be getting?
The Secret World Preorder Bonuses
Funcom has finally opened pre-orders for their latest highly anticipated title The Secret World, and also revealed all the bonuses you can get for pre-purchasing.
Dark days are coming. All the myths, legends and conspiracies of the world are true.

Game Features:
- Conspiracies, Myths and Legends – Everything is true. A real-world, modern-day MMO reaching into legends and myths that unravels as the player progresses.
- No Classes, No levels – Be who you want to be, and play how you want to play. Hundreds of abilities and powers are available as you evolve your character without traditional level or class restraints.

- A powerful pet (Ferocious Wolf, Egyptian Cat or Loyal Hound) to support the player in combat
- A head start on character naming before the game launches

This game is definitely worth preordering. Not only because it's shaping out to be an amazing game, but also for the impressive number of really useful bonuses you can get. For those of you really eager to try this game and feel like you'll be playing it for awhile, perhaps the Grand Master Pack is worth it, even though it's pretty expensive. For preorders we recommend Amazon, which always has the lowest prices and fastest shipping.

- The Making of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' DVD. This documentary DVD contains exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage, including interviews with the Bethesda Game Studios team.
It's a hefty price increase, but if you spent months playing the previous Elder Scrolls titles, you probably won't mind the price difference. It's up to you!
- Preorder Standard Edition – $59,95

Preorder Mass Effect 3
Earth is burning. Striking from beyond known space, a race of terrifying machines have begun their destruction of the human race. As Commander Shepard, an Alliance Marine, your only hope for saving mankind is to rally the civilizations of the galaxy and launch one final mission to take back the Earth.
That, in short, is the story of Mass Effect 3. Developed by Bioware, this is bound to be a worthy sequel to Mass Effect 1 & 2. The game will be released March 6, 2012. It features numerous enhancements from previous titles, most notable improvements to combat, weapons, and powers. Exploration has also received some changes, and you will be able to travel freely more now.
Additionally, if you plan on playing ME3 on Xbox you'll be glad to hear it now features amazing Kinect functionality as well, where you can give voice commands to your squad, choose dialogue options and more.
There are two editions of Mass Effect 3 you can preorder: Standard and Collector's. The Standard Edition doesn't contain any special bonuses (although if you preorder from the link below you get $10 off some other purchase), but the Collector's Edition has the following:
- Premium metal case featuring commemorative artwork of Commander Shepard.
- 70-page hardbound art book featuring hundreds of unique and gorgeous illustrations from the BioWare development team plus an exclusive 4×6 lithographic print featuring a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork
- Limited edition Mass Effect comic by Dark Horse Comics, complete with unique cover artwork
- Join the ranks of the N7 with the premium fabric N7 patch
- A full collection of in-game content that can't be found anywhere else!
Basically we recommend you get the Collector's Edition, obviously because of all these special bonuses. The price isn't much higher but it's definitely worth it.
- Preorder Standard Edition – $59,99
- Preorder Collector's Edition – $79,96
Preorder Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
For almost a decade now Call of Duty has been topping the charts of game sales. It's one of the best, if not the best FPS games ever released, and doesn't need a special introduction. On November 8th, the best-selling first person action series of all-time returns with the epic sequel to the multiple Game of the Year award winner "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Preorder TERA Online
TERA (The Exiled Realm of Arborea) is frequently advertised as the first true action MMORPG. Tera provides all the depth of any MMO–quests, crafting, an intricate plot, PvP, and more-combined for the first time with the satisfaction and skill of a console action game. No more are you confined to tabbing and then standing around and eating a sandwich while taking on a boss. You're at the center of the action, hitting where you aim and reacting in real-time to dodge and move out of the way when attacked. In Tera, skill and substance combine for an entirely new MMORPG experience.
This game is being developed by Bluehole Studios and published by En Masse Entertainment. TERA is due for release on May 1st.
TERA Features:
- Enter the world of Tera as one of seven player races, each with its own history, lore, and point of view. These are the races of the Valkyon Federation, leading the way into a new era of unity as they face a battle for their very existence.
- The eight player classes of Tera each contribute their own style of combat, their own method and approach to tactics, and their own unique abilities in solo and group play. Get to know them here-their fighting styles, their tools, and their talents.
- Tera is a world born of conflict. It's a place where gods scheme, armies clash, and the world can change in the blink of an eye. Thousands of years have passed since the two titans, Arun and Shara, lay down and dreamed the world and its inhabitants.
- Your enemies are many and varied. Some are strong, some are intelligent-all are dangerous. Consider this your pre-mission briefing on beasts and bad guys. Get to know them, where they come from, and how they fight.
- The world of Tera began millennia ago when two titans of unimaginable power, Arun and Shara, met in a formless void. For reasons we can only guess, they fell asleep. And as they slept, Tera took shape around them.
There are three different editions of TERA you can preorder: standard, physical collector's edition and digital collector's edition. Standard Edition costs $49,99 and includes 30 days of game time. Digital Collector's Edition, valued at $59,99, includes 30 days of free game time, as well as as Regal Frostlion Mount, and two different necklaces for your character:
- Velik's Bloodstone Necklace
- Level 15+, Attack +21, Damage +8, Max MP +70, Attack Speed +4%
- Shakan's Bloodstone Necklace
- Level 40+, Attack +91, Damage +59, Max MP +143, Attack Speed +6%
Physical Collectors Edition includes the most bonuses and costs $79,99. All the above contents are included, as well as the following:
- Letter of Marque
- Valkyon Federation Handbook
- Federation Issued Compass
- Map of TERA
- Original Soundtrack
In addition to the aforementioned, every copy gives you access to the early beta testing, and Early Name Reservation and Early Game Access. It's up to you to decide which copy is worth it, but there really are some great bonuses included in collector's editions.
Much like any MMORPG, TERA will get even more popular in the next few months, which will no doubt reflect the pre-order numbers as well. Be sure to secure your copy for the best price today. You won't regret it!
Preorder Battlefield 3
Along with Call of Duty, Battlefield is the most popular FPS game currently on the market. The two camps have long fought over which game is better, and it's simply a matter of personal preference. For those who prefer Battlefield 3, or those who just need a change take a look at the preorder bonuses below and get yourself a copy of one of the most anticipated games this year.
Battlefield 3 Features:
- Frostbite 2 – Battlefield 3 introduces Frostbite 2, the incredible technology that takes animation, destruction, lighting, scale and audio to new heights.
- Feel the Battle – Feel the impact of bullets and explosions, drag your fallen comrades into safety, and mount your weapon on almost any part of the terrain.
- Unparalleled Vehicle Warfare -— The best online vehicle warfare experience gets even better with a fitting sonic boom as fighter jets headline an impressive lineup of land, air and sea vehicles.
- Urban Combat – Take the fight to iconic and unexpected places in the USA, Middle East, and Europe including claustrophobic streets, metropolitan downtowns, and open, vehicle-friendly landscapes as you fight your way through the war of tomorrow.
- Other returning fan favorite features include 64 players for PC and prone.
If you pre-order from the link below (Amazon), you'll get some pretty neat exclusive bonuses: Dog Tag Pack for multiplayer use as well as the Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand expansion pack for free. The expansion includes four legendary maps from Battlefield 2 boldly re-imagined in the Frostbite 2 engine, as well as Battlefield 2 weapons, vehicles, and unique rewards.
The number of copies are limited so we suggest you act quickly and preorder now. According to the reviews it's not the best guide out there, but you can also pick up the official PrimaGames strategy guide for BF3.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/11/2012 (1750 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Five Brandon youths who vandalized a historic site last year have been ordered to perform community service or give a donation to help maintain the site.
Carberry RCMP said today that the five young people, whose identities are protected by the Youth Criminal Justice Act, were dealt with by the John Howard Society Community Justice Committee after police received tips from the public.
The committee's sanctions ranged from 24 hours of community service at the Criddle Vane Provincial Heritage Site to a $300 donation to the community committee which looks after the site.
The site, which protects the homestead of emtomology pioneer Norman Criddle, was damaged last winter by vandals who smashed windows, marked and damaged walls and doors within the St. Albans House and other outbuildings there.
RCMP said they are asking the public to continue to help them identify other people responsible for vandalizing the site by calling 204-834-2905.

This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through the process of building a robust recommendation engine on open technologies. The aim of the tutorial is to get your recommendation engine up and running quickly, and to teach you a bit along the way about powerful technologies for working with data.
The Mortar recommendation engine produces personalized recommendations at scale for companies like MTV, Comedy Central, StubHub, and the Associated Press. It is designed to be:
Open. Every business is different: you know things about your business and your data that can drive better recommendations. This recommendation engine is completely customizable and entirely open source, so you can modify or adapt whatever you need.
Flexible. For this engine, everything is a signal. Every user interaction, content metadata, or even outside streams of data, so you can blend your collaborative filter with your content recommendations with anything you like, and still know why each recommendation was generated.
Portable. You can run this recommendation engine code anywhere. It's built on widely-adopted open source technologies—Hadoop, Pig, and Python. For this tutorial, we'll show you how to run on the Mortar platform, where all of the components you need to run it in production at scale (deployment, monitoring, visualization, cluster management) are fully handled.
Ready to build a recommendation engine for your business? Let's get started!

2014 Detroit: Will Power IndyCar Post-Race Press Conference
Posted by: ASkyler on Jun 01, 2014 - 08:41 PM
2014 Detroit: Will Power IndyCar Post-Race Press Conference
We'll continue with our second-place finisher today, Will Power.
Will, very strong weekend for Team Penske in qualifying and the race. What did the team give you?
WILL POWER: Yeah, actually I made a change this race. My car was definitely better than yesterday. I think the biggest hit was a drive-through penalty. Still I was surprised to end up in second. I didn't know where I was the whole race until it went yellow and suddenly, Oh, there's only one car in front of me, wow.
Yeah, it was just a good day for Roger. I think on the last restart, last two restarts, I wasn't going to attack Helio too hard. You know, last thing Roger would want to see is two cars in the wall. I was going to be nice there unless he made a big mistake.
Yeah, just over the moon for Chevy and Roger.
THE MODERATOR: Questions for Will.
Q. What was your reaction to the penalty? It looked like you could have turned right there a little quicker.
WILL POWER: If only (laughter).
I was actually surprised how he came across. Obviously he didn't see me because he must have had someone on his outside. I have to look at the replay before I comment on it.
You know, I've been on the good side and the bad side of the penalties. You know what I mean? I'll take it. I'll go to race control, watch the replay with them, yeah, give my explanation.
Q. I think you jumped back into the lead for the championship. A good day for you. Couldn't be much better.
WILL POWER: Yeah. If you look at points, I guess you could say it's a good points day. I don't even look at it anymore. Try to just have good days, have fun and try to win. That's all we can do in racing.
If you want to be a points racer and feel conservative all the time, it sucks. I've been through that three years in a row, so I'm not doing it anymore.
Q. On your second and third pit stops, you came out of the pits and got into the 117s quickly, Helio was doing 118s. Faster on cold tires? Did you know?
WILL POWER: I did not know what was going on. I didn't realize Helio was behind me at any point in the race until he told me on the podium, I was behind you.
So, yeah, it's one of those races, team just tells me what fuel number, how hard to go, yeah. My guys, you know, I have so much faith in my engineer and Tim Cindric, all the guys on my car. I feel comfortable they'll always put me in a good position. Rarely will they put me in a bad position.
In practice, qualifying, any time, just a very solid team. Yeah, love working with them.
Q. You alluded to what this weekend means to Roger. What does it mean to get back-to-back wins like this?
WILL POWER: Yeah, like I said, it's just great. Roger loves this city. We run Chevrolet engines. These are the days Roger just loves. He's an out-and-out racer. To have his cars finish 1-2, win yesterday, win both races, that's what keeps Roger going. I think he just loves it.
I've never seen someone so enthusiastic about racing. I mean, he'll fly to a NASCAR race, next day he's going to an IndyCar race, he calls Helio's race. The result like this is just great for Roger.
Q. (No microphone.)
WILL POWER: We're never told that. C'mon, you know, you're given such a good opportunity. Roger is a racer. Never team orders, never. He would have been happy with me. He wouldn't have said a thing if I attacked Helio, went hard at him. I know the worst thing that could have happened was both of us end up touching. Helio was tough anyway. It would have been tough to get by him.
No team orders. He's an out-and-out racer.
Q. As a competitor, as a teammate, how happy are you to see Helio get a victory?
WILL POWER: Actually happy after the 500 because I felt he drove a race to win it. Both him, Hunter-Reay and Helio, phenomenal, putting everything on the line there. I think Hunter-Reay just had a little faster car. What a performance he put on.
He was just on fire from the moment he first practiced, first lap. So I think it was deserved.
Q. Will, even though you're not looking at the points, do you feel you're getting some real momentum up now?
WILL POWER: Yeah. Just getting solid results every weekend. Trying to be mistake-free. Trying to forget about the championship in every race, just try to do your best. That's really all you can do. Try to keep out of trouble. Obviously drive-through penalty is not a good thing today. Same at Indy. But, yeah.
Q. Do you see Helio coming into contention?
WILL POWER: Yeah, he'll be there. I mean, he's very consistent. He's got better in his old age. I don't know how (laughter). Gives me hope. I got a pretty long career. But, man, since I started, he's kind of changed his driving style. More similar to the way I drive now.
He's just very strong. He's gotten strong. The guy has passion for winning and motorsport itself, which this sport is very tough on you. A guy like him that hasn't won a championship, he's been so close.
Yeah, he'll be a contender this year. He's relentless. To me he's better than when I first turned up on the scene for sure. Definitely better.
Q. Fontana is two miles, Texas is one and a half. Your confidence level going into Texas next Saturday night?
WILL POWER: Yeah, I definitely want to do a better job than what I did last year. We got a bit more downforce. My teammate absolutely destroyed the field last year. No excuses on the car front. That is just confidence on ovals. It's a very light downforce we run now, and you're lifting.
Yeah, we just got to turn up there, see what we got, try to have a good weekend.
THE MODERATOR: Will, we'll see you next weekend. Thank you.
WILL POWER: Thank you.

Cromwell / Greenwood connections Edit
This is interesting trivia, but I have no idea how to fit it into the article in its current layout. Flick worked on five films starring Bruce Greenwood (Passenger 57, Double Jeopardy, The Core, I, Robot, and Firehouse Dog) and four films starring James Cromwell (Eraser, The General's Daughter, I, Robot, and Spider-Man 3). If anyone can figure out a way to include this info in the article, by all means, make it so. I don't think it's required, though. --From Andoria with Love 10:24, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Washington - A single day on a well-planned vacation can feel longer and more substantive than several work weekdays combined. Whether you're exploring deserted beaches, marvelling at world-class architecture or enjoying a family getaway, a great trip also provokes the desire to document it.
Days, a social media app that chronicles a day in a user's life, helps capture events worth reliving. The free app allows users to create a virtual, and shareable, scrapbook of photos and GIFs. Though not specifically intended as a travel-focused program, Days lends itself to action-packed periods of time.
How it works: Take photos either inside the app or with your phone's native camera, and upload into the program. Write captions and share on other social media sites and by email. Photos are grouped into 24-hour time periods beginning and ending at 5 a.m., which works for late-night revellers or early risers.
The app, launched in May 2013 by Wander, which was recently acquired by Yahoo, animates photos taken within 10 seconds of each other. The result is GIF-like files that give daily photo albums a little movement, though the images can be separated into stand-alone photos if the user wants.
Accidentally miss a day? Days allows users to go back several cycles and fill in Saturday even if it's already Monday morning, though, to restrict cheating, the app does not allow users to alter a photo's time stamp.
Days founder Jeremy Fisher hopes to change the way people think about sharing photos. "We have lots of daily habits around content consumption, but almost none around content creation," Fisher says. "One of our goals with Days was to change that by transforming content creation (photo-taking and -sharing) from an ad hoc behaviour into a daily habit."
Even if it doesn't sound appealing to capture a typical breakfast or trip to the office, the app is perfect for illustrating special periods for family and friends.
I tested Days while visiting my home town for a wedding. On Monday, I was able to upload photos from Saturday, from applying makeup and getting my hair done with fellow bridesmaids, to waiting for the ceremony, to the first dance. Then I texted the gallery to the bride, who will be able to scroll through moments from her wedding day long after she returns from her honeymoon.
Overall, the app is easy to use and easier to share — Facebook and Twitter handles can be added or accounts can be kept private. Importing several dozen photos at one time can be problematic, however, and causes occasional crashes.
Even folks who don't intend to make photo snapping and sharing a daily habit, can turn special days into beautiful timelines for review on a boring Tuesday. - Washington Post

It was a fish story that even veteran boat captains found fascinating: Up to 200 killer whales feeding on tuna in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
"It was like being at SeaWorld because they'd come right up to the boat," said Eddie Hall, captain of the Shady Lady, the charter boat that spotted them.
It was also hard for some skeptics to believe: orcas, as killer whales are also known, typically are thought to live in cold water and eat seals.
But Hall's description of what he saw Oct. 31 was no tall tale, and a government biologist who saw video taken from Hall's boat confirmed it. And last week that same scientist, Keith Mullin, explained at a public meeting in Orange Beach, Ala., that they do live in the gulf.
Mullin, whose outfit has been working for years to get an accurate count of the gulf's whale population, said it may be time to increase estimates on how many killer whales are in the deep waters off the Gulf Coast. He's taking part in a research expedition this summer that could determine if his hunch is right.
Scientists believe the whales have been in the gulf for years. Their small population and the speed at which pods move make them difficult to count.
Hall said the Shady Lady was 95 miles off the coast of Alabama when anglers and crew saw scores of them. "There were four different pods. We estimated there were about 200 maximum. One pod had 75 in it," he said.

If you are looking for honest, hard-working, reliable tradesmen, these are your guys. Floor preparation was unparalleled - after 4 previous floor disasters, I've got a good understanding of how this all works. To ensure a level floor, they ground down high bits and used a self-leveller to bring up the low bits. They worked late when necessary to get it finished in time - and I mean late - 10 or 11pm. They cleaned up after themselves and we had a team here every day until the job was complete. Excellent job!

The Yokohama Municipal Government mistakenly alerted its Twitter followers Wednesday morning that North Korea had launched a missile, only to apologize 20 minutes later for the error.
The city's crisis-management office sent out the alert around 11 a.m.
Tensions with the North continue to escalate following a litany of nuclear threats from the communist regime.
The office prepared a warning statement in advance to immediately respond to any such emergencies, according to a city official.
But someone in the municipal government apparently slipped up and sent out the tweet, the official said.
A call from an upset Yokohama citizen soon came in pointing out the mistake, and the agency hastily issued an apology on its account.
"We will further look into why this kind of thing happened, and will make sure there will be no recurrence," the official said.
The crisis-management agency currently has about 40,000 followers on Twitter.

WASHINGTON -- A poll taken for the Knights of Columbus and Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., indicates a strong majority of Americans continue to want restrictions on abortion.
According to the poll, 79 percent of those surveyed said they would not allow abortion after the first three months of pregnancy. And 51 percent said they would allow abortion only in cases of rape, incest or to save the mother's life -- or not at all.
The poll's numbers are almost unchanged from a similar poll taken two years ago.
The survey responses were released in Washington Jan. 23, the date of this year's March for Life.
According to the poll results, 84 percent said they believe that laws can protect both the life of the unborn and the health and well-being of women. This is up from 81 percent from the 2010 survey.
We refreshed our website! Drop us a line at email@example.com to tell us what you think. We value your feedback.
"Almost four decades after the Supreme Court's decisions in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, which resulted in the almost totally unrestricted abortion regime of today, these decisions continue to be out of step with the vast majority of Americans," said a Jan. 23 statement by Carl Anderson, supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus.
"Far from being settled law, the inadequacy of the court's reasoning on abortion in Roe and Doe is readily apparent to most Americans. Once a survey moves beyond the labels of pro-life and pro-choice, we see a fundamental unity among Americans in favor of significant abortion restrictions," Anderson said.
The abortion questions were part of a broader survey, the results of which will be released in February.
The telephone survey, conducted Dec. 15-27, was based on the responses of 1,053 adults living in the continental United States. The results have a margin of error within plus or minus 3 percentage points.

If you needed any more proof climate alarmists are an extraordinarily deluded bunch that will do anything to protect their dogma, you got it Saturday when a 56-page report on military strategy incited ire because it included two paragraphs on global warming that don't perfectly fit Nobel Laureate Al Gore's agenda.
In fact, all the brouhaha was largely about one sentence: "In many respects, scientific conclusions about the causes and potential effects of global warming are contradictory."
Seems innocent enough, don't you think?
Well, not according to the Boston Globe's Bryan Bender, or any of the folks he chose to question about it:
A new US military report has come under scrutiny for asserting that the scientific data on what is causing global warming is "contradictory" - a position one leading specialist said indicates the government still hasn't fully embraced the urgency of climate change. [...]
But a section of the 56-page report on climate change and natural disasters prompted criticism yesterday from some leading specialists who said that spreading the inaccurate perception that the causes of climate change remain an open question could result in government agencies not taking the issue seriously enough.
The report, titled Joint Operating Environment 2008, states that "the impact of global warming and its potential to cause natural disasters and other harmful phenomena such as rising sea levels has become a prominent - and controversial - national and international concern. Some argue that there will be more and greater storms and natural disasters, others that there will be fewer."
It adds: "In many respects, scientific conclusions about the causes and potential effects of global warming are contradictory."
That last line in particular was singled out at a panel discussion hosted yesterday by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank, on the topic of climate change and national security.
Those interested can watch a video of this hilarious discussion here (h/t American Thinker's Marc Sheppard).
Sadly, the Globe chose only to get the opinion of alarmists:
Sharon Burke, a former Pentagon and State Department official who is now a specialist at the Center for a New American Security, said the report was factually "wrong" and "out of line," saying that there is a wide consensus that human activity, namely the production of greenhouse gases, is responsible for global warming.
Other specialists had similar reactions when they read the report.
"It's very wrong," said Kerry Emanuel, a professor of atmospheric science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology whose work was cited in the military report. "The jury is not out" on what is causing global warming, he added. "I don't know where that statement came from, but it's pretty bizarre."
Emanuel also took issue with the report's assertions about future storm intensity.
"Everyone pretty much agrees that the intensity of events could go up with global warming, although we argue how much," he said in an interview.
Well, actually, not everyone agrees with this. Not even close.
In fact, there's now over 31,000 scientists that have signed a petition questioning man's role in global warming. Unfortunately, Bender chose not to cite any of these folks.
I wonder why.
Yet, maybe more comical was how the much larger section of this report that involved the military's view of energy production went totally ignored:
To meet even the conservative growth rates posited above, global energy production would need to rise by 1.3% per year. By the 2030s, demand would be nearly 50% greater than today. To meet that demand, even assuming more effective conservation measures, the world would need to add roughly the equivalent of Saudi Arabia's current energy production very seven years. [...]
By the 2030s, oil requirements could go from 86 to 118 million barrels a day (MBD). Although the use of coal may decline in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, it will more than double in developing nations. Fossil fuels will still make up 80% of the energy mix in the 2030s, with oil and gas comprising upwards of 60%. The central problem for the coming decade will not be a lack of petroleum reserves, but rather a shortage of drilling platforms, engineers and refining capacity. Even were a concerted effort begun today to repair that shortage, it would be ten years before production could catch up with expected demand. The key determinant here would be the degree of commitment the United States and others would display in addressing the dangerous vulnerabilities the growing energy crisis presents. [...]
None of the above provides much reason for optimism. At present, the United States possesses approximately 250 million cars, while China with its immensely larger population possesses only 40 million. The Chinese are laying down approximately 1,000 kilometers of four-lane highway every year, a figure suggesting how many more vehicles they expect to possess, with the concomitant rise in their demand for oil. The presence of Chinese "civilians" in the Sudan to guard oil pipelines underlines China's concern for protecting its oil supplies and could preview a future in which other states intervene in Africa to protect scarce resources.
The implications for future conflict are ominous. If the major developed and developing states do not undertake a massive expansion of production and refining capabilities, a severe energy crunch is inevitable. While it is difficult to predict precisely what economic, political, and strategic effects such a shortfall might produce, it surely would reduce the prospects for growth in both the developing and developed worlds. Such an economic slowdown would exacerbate other unresolved tensions, push fragile and failing states further down the path toward collapse, and perhaps have serious economic impact on both China and India. At best, it would lead to periods of harsh economic adjustment. To what extent conservation measures, investments in alternative energy production, and efforts to expand petroleum production from tar sands and shale would mitigate such a period of adjustment is difficult to predict. One should not forget that the Great Depression spawned a number of ferocious totalitarian regimes that sought economic prosperity for their nations by ruthless conquest, while Japan went to war in 1941 to secure its energy supplies.
One other potential effect of an energy crunch could be a prolonged U.S. recession which could lead to deep cuts in defense spending (as happened during the Great Depression). Joint force commanders could then find their capabilities diminished at the moment they may have to undertake increasingly dangerous missions. Should that happen, adaptability would require more than preparations to fight the enemies of the United States, but also the willingness to recognize and acknowledge the limitations of America's military forces. The pooling of U.S. resources and capabilities with allies would then become even more critical. Coalition operations would become essential to protecting national interests.
So, the U.S. military believes that the expansion of oil exploration, drilling, and refining, as well as the additional production of coal and natural gas, are essential to protecting our national security interests.
Yet, the Globe completely ignored this revelation and preferred instead to focus on one sentence in this 56-page strategy analysis which said "scientific conclusions about the causes and potential effects of global warming are contradictory."
Anybody smell some hypocrisy?
After all, the key to this absurd myth is that carbon dioxide is destroying the planet. Therefore, our salvation supposedly depends on the immediate reduction in the burning of fossil fuels. However, the military views a dramatic expansion in the production of such fuels is essential to national security.
Though Burke did mention this point at Friday's conference, and, of course, disagreed with it, Bender chose not to share it with his readers.
Why? Is protecting the global warming myth more important to Bender than protecting our nation?

LIKE most poor golfers, I have a lot of trouble when it comes to extricating myself from bunkers.
At the moment, touch wood, my ball does seem to be emerging from the sand with a fair degree of regularity. Unfortunately, more often than not, it ends up travelling two or three times the distance I would like it to, which isn't a whole lot better.
My bunker troubles came to a head during a recent trip to Test Valley Golf Club with my workmate Chris.
The club is in the process of turning the traps on the course into links-style riveted pot bunkers. They look really attractive and my ball clearly agreed as it seemed to be drawn to them like a moth to a flame.
A sign of things to come came on the very first hole. I was in a greenside bunker for three but caught my attempt at an escape far too cleanly, firing the ball over the green and into a trap on the opposite side.
My next sand shot was equally poor, this time clearing the bunker I had just got out of and finding the bushes. The result was a card-wrecking nine.
Not a great start.
Better was to follow as I picked up a par on the par-five third, but I found the sand at both the fourth and the fifth, the latter resulting in a six on a par-three.
More trips to bunkers followed on holes nine and 14, while I had another nightmare on 15. A terrible slice from the tee resulted in a penalty drop and it took me a further two shots to get down near the green.
Faced with a delicate flop over one of the course's pot bunkers, I succumbed to the pressure, thinning my shot over the green and into a similar trap on the far side. Another nine and at the end of a very up-and-down round, I had to settle for a score of 103.
At least I wasn't alone in my bunker trouble. Chris found a particularly evil trap on the par-three 16th and it took him several attempts to get out. I did my best to avoid eye contact as he putted out for a nine of his own.
Next time, we'll be sure to take buckets and spades out with us.

Cute but Shrinks
The dress is adorable, I bought it in two colors. I was super bummed though after washing it, per the directions, and finding out the shrunk about a size so I can't wear it anymore, both are now too short.
Hi Elizabeth93, We're sorry to hear about this. Someone will be in touch. - Free People
Disappointing and Shrinks!
I loved the dress when I first tried it on and the first time I wore it. Then, I washed the dress per the directions-- hand wash cold and lay flat to dry. The next time I put on the dress, it was at least an entire size smaller. It is now unwearable. I also bought it for the full price, so not worth it!
Hi CG859, We're sorry to hear about this. Someone will reach out. - Free People
Adorable but . . .
I had this in my shopping cart for a long time and was so happy to get it, but when I tried it on, I realized it wasn't the dress for me. First, its very short, more like a tunic. Its wide too, but would be very cute on a really thin girl. It looks great on the model. I'm more wide shouldered and curvy so it was too tight in the bosom (for me). Also, the rayon is the type that would shrink if washed and not dry cleaned. I hate to send it back, but I can't make it work unfortunately. I only gave it 4 stars because of the length, but for the right person, it deserves 5.
This looks great on the model! I ordered it, but it was very large... falling off me large. I ordered a small and I'm ~5'4 130lbs, and it was like wearing a trash bag... no shape. It also came in yellow though I ordered Blue? However, because the fit looked so awful I returned it either way. I'm ~33 Bust, 27ish, and 35 lower hips.
