There have been multiple options of using running numbers and as developers we have used options of IDENTITY in the past. With SQL Server 2012, there is an interesting option to utilize called as SEQUENCE. I am not sure how many of you are using this new feature in your applications already. In this post wanted to quickly give you some ways to use this nice little addition into SQL Server.
Creating SEQUENCE
The syntax for SEQUENCE can be got from the documentation mentioned above. Let us create a simple table and Sequence to start with for our experiment.
In the above script the important part is the last command where we initialize the SEQUENCE. What we created is:
Data type: BIGINT
Starts at 1 which is greater than minvalue and less than maxvalue
MaxValue is max value of the type i.e. 9223372036854775807
MinValue is min value of the type i.e. -9223372036854775808
Increment is 1 – can also be negative.
No cycle – means it will error after maxvalue
Cache is used, database engine will select a size and selection might not be consistent.
'CREATE SEQUENCE' does not allow specifying the database name as a prefix to the object name.
Only word of caution is wrt cache. Using of cache can minimize some IO at generation time, but at the same time if any abrupt crash or power outage can mean the cache values can be lost and there can be breakage in the sequence values.
Get the SEQUENCE Metadata from inside SQL Server. Use the sys.sequence DMV for this task.
This confirms our initial understanding of the values and how they can be queried from the system. This DMV can be used to see what SEQUENCEs have been defined inside a Database.
Generating SEQUENCE
Generating sequence numbers is a simple step using the "next value" construct.
Since we are using the GO 10, there are 10 sequence numbers that get generated.
Quick Quiz: What will be the output from the below query if I run them now.
Will the values be:
- 10,11
- 11,12
- 11,11
- 12,12
- None of the above
Please post the answer over comments and would love to see your explanation for the same too. For correct answers, we will send you Pluralsight Codes to watch our courses.
Let us next, alter an existing SEQUENCE number to different values:
Only catch here is: Data type can't be changed by alter statement. And "START WITH" cannot be used in an ALTER SEQUENCE command.
Given this constrain, decide on if you want to go with smallint, int, bigint or decimals/numeric (with 0 scale). I would suggest the choice would be between int and bigint – not to forget the storage or memory needs from a cache. Given these days few MB's is fine from an overhead when the world is moving to TB's of data :).
Using SEQUENCE Inside Transactions
The next aspect is to use the SEQUENCE values inside a transaction and see how they get affected. Use the below status check query to keep a tap on the progress every step.
Let us start by using an implicit transaction inside SSMS and insert one value. The output of the same is:
This seems to be one of the easiest of steps. Now if we use an Explicit transaction and if we rollback, how would the SEQUENCE Status look like?
Now you can see that the values as part of INSERT have been rolled back, yet there is a small difference in the status check – the current value is 11. This confirms that the SEQUENCE has jumped to the next value and doesn't participate as part of transaction rollback. This is the same / similar behavior to how IDENTITY works inside SQL too. Hence if we insert a new row, it would have skipped a value of 11 as we gave a increment of 10 in the last alter statement.
It is sort of different from IDENTITY because even the IDENTITY can get reset using the TRUNCATE command, but SEQUENCE has to be reinitialized using the ALTER for the same.
Getting a range of values
Now that we are talking about sequences, there have been requirements to get a range of values. The same can be achieved using a stored procedure – sp_sequence_get_range. The idea here would be an application might need some range of values it can use from the sequence generated from the backend. In case of pessimistic locking lot of people ask me is it possible to know the IDENTITY before we insert so that they can send the parent and child (with foreign key populated) in one shot into SQL Server. Here is a typical way to achieve that.
Let me add the command text used above for easy access.
DECLARE @sequence_name nvarchar(100) = 'SequenceID', @range_size int = 10,
@range_first_value sql_variant, @range_last_value sql_variant,
@range_cycle_count int, @sequence_increment sql_variant,
@sequence_min_value sql_variant, @sequence_max_value sql_variant;
EXEC sp_sequence_get_range @sequence_name = @sequence_name, @range_size = @range_size,
@range_first_value = @range_first_value output, @range_last_value = @range_last_value output,
@range_cycle_count = @range_cycle_count output, @sequence_increment = @sequence_increment output,
@sequence_min_value = @sequence_min_value output, @sequence_max_value = @sequence_max_value output;
SELECT RangeSize= @range_size,FirstValue=@range_first_value,LastValue= @range_last_value,CycleCount=@range_cycle_count,
Increment=@sequence_increment,MinValue= @sequence_min_value,MaxValue= @sequence_max_value;
The documentation is pretty exhaustive and can be helpful for reference– MSDN/BOL.
SEQUENCE Usage
There are a number of ways to use SEQUENCE inside SQL Server. We have already seen how one might use the same inside a SELECT (Option 1) or INSERT Statement (Option 2) above. Let me give you some other options of how one might use SEQUENCE.
Option 3 – Pre-generation and Batching
Get the next value before inserting. If you have not taken the quiz / trivia above – do that. You will realize that the solution for that question is by doing a batch operation like one written below. Unlike in the previous case, all expressions that appear in the same logical query processing phase are evaluated as if at the same point in time hence giving it a batch window eliminates that problem.
Option 4 – OVER and Order by
This will be one of the common methods people might start using the SEQUENCEs. Your requirement is to get some sequence or order while you get the resultset and this can be yet another way to use. You can use the overall ranking functions also to get two numbered set one as a master and other as a subset ranking set. A typical example is:
Option 5 – Using inside Update statement
There can be a requirement you want to create some running sequence for an already existing values inside SQL Server as part of migrating it to SQL Server 2012. Also you don't want any breaks in that sequence (like Invoice etc). You can use this technique to generate such running numbers and then reset / reseed if you are using the identity columns. If you get the drift then you can easily build the script using another column and achieve the same. Though I did this for one of the ISV's keep in mind the Foreign key pitfalls as part of the activity.
Option 6 – Use it via DEFAULT Column value
This option is a great way to use in comparison to IDENTITY values. Some of the benefits of cache can surely eliminate the contention on the last page because of IDENTITY value generation. And I see this as a new way to maintain and create unique numbers inside SQL Server. In the example below, the default constraint makes sure the next value has been entered and see the entry of last 8th row automatically.
Why SEQUENCE when IDENTITY is there?
UPDATE: A lot of people are asking when to use sequence and when IDENTITY. The scenario is simple, if you need a unique sequence number to be generated across a single database then sequence can be of great help. IDENTITY can be used to generate a unique number for a given table and not across tables. That is the fundamental difference between both.
Though SEQUENCE can also be used to replace IDENTITY in the future, given the caching and faster retrieval, this is an option to explore and use. I would say, do a simple performance testing to know which one performs better. You will surely surprised :).
Your question in mind is – is it a replacement for IDENTITY? Well, it can be as one of the options. Do a small performance test to see which of these methods fair well for use before doing the replacement. I have seen acceptable performance with SEQUENCE usage on a decent workload – but you are better judge of the final results in your environments.
As time permits, feel free to pass me your comments.

Lakewood High did a one-shot lip dub video of Katy Perry's "Roar"
UPDATE: Check out photos and video of Katy Perry's visit to Lakewood High School on Friday, Oct. 25 from Reverb, The Denver Post's music site.
Lakewood High School's school spirit runs high. Earlier this week, a video was released with the school's 2,000-plus student body lip dubbing to Katy Perry's "Roar."
It's pretty impressive. Also it helps that the school's mascot is the tiger.
Here's part of the chorus: "I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire // Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar."
According to an e-mail to parents from Lakewood principal Ron Castagna, the school is looking to win the "Roar With Katy Perry" contest, which will bring the singer to the school around Oct. 25. If they win, the school plans to turn the event into a flood relief fundraiser.

Accolades and Honors
Dartmouth Names Medical School in Honor of Audrey and Theodor Geisel —
In 2012, Dartmouth named its medical school in honor of Audrey and Theodor Geisel. Founded in 1797, the Audrey and Theodor Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth is the nation's fourth oldest medical school. The Geisels' generosity to Dartmouth during their lifetimes and through their estate plan renders the Geisel family the most significant philanthropist to Dartmouth in its history. Theodor "Ted" Geisel, known worldwide as the author and illustrator, "Dr. Seuss," was a Dartmouth graduate of the Class of 1925. "Ted and Audrey Geisel's work and life serve as a timeless example for our future physicians at the Geisel School of Medicine," said Wiley "Chip" Souba, vice president for health affairs and dean of the medical school. "We teach our students to be compassionate, to pursue new knowledge that benefits their patients, and to have the courage and humility to make a profound difference in the lives of others."
100 People Who Changed the World
In 2010 Life Books published 100 People Who Changed the World, describing their efforts as "a fascinating look at a group of crucial individuals, as well as a history of how we got from the very distant and often unknowable past, to the here and now." They postulated four "integrated marches through history," each one building on the other: philosophical, political, scientific, and cultural.
Dr. Seuss was singled out as a "cultural icon." Life said of him, "Geisel entertained America's young with his rollicking rhymes, nutty narratives, and playful but artful pictures." However, he did "even more than entertain. His intricately crafted reader, The Cat in the Hat, was a fanciful adventure that educates even as it enthralls." They recognized him for spending his long life "alternating between his no-rules novels, and books that grew ever more sophisticated, with word counts ever smaller to entice ever younger kids to read." And that he did so in a place of his own creation, Beginner Books, where "educational science collided with whimsy."
Dr. Seuss was the only children's author who was included in the book. Taking his place in the "cultural icon" section, he finds himself in grand company appearing alongside Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Beethoven, Dickens, Le Corbusier, Chaplin, Chanel, Picasso, and Elvis.
Pulitzer Prize
In the spring of 1984 an Associated Press reporter phoned to say that Ted had won a Pulitzer Prize—a special citation "for his contribution over nearly half a century to the education and enjoyment of America's children and their parents." Ted was flabbergasted: "It comes right out of left field, particularly after all these years." One judge said the proposal to award a Pulitzer to Dr. Seuss, initiated by San Diego newspaper editors, had met with "as close to immediate unanimity" as any he recalled. After that first phone call, Ted said, "all hell broke loose." Although he refused to allow television "to set up all that gear here in my studio," the prize brought him a flurry of exposure on network television.
Special Citations were not awarded every year. There have been 41 winners since 1930, including Bob Dylan (2008), Ray Bradbury (2007), Duke Ellington (1999), and Rodgers and Hammerstein (1944).
Honorary Degree from Dartmouth
In 1955 Dartmouth bestowed an Honorary Degree of Humane Letters on Ted Geisel. The citation read in part, "You single-handedly have stood as St. George between a generation of exhausted parents and the demon dragon of unexhausted children on a rainy day."
Academy Awards — Dr. Seuss's interests in three winning endeavors
Jack Warner won the 1946 Academy Award for best documentary short subject for Hitler Lives?, a remake of Your Job in Germany, Ted's cautionary tale against troop fraternization, however, Ted received no credit.
Design for Death, written by Ted and Helen Geisel, won the 1947 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
"Gerald McBoing-Boing" — Won the 1951 Oscar for Best Animated Short Film for United Productions of America, the animation studio which brought Ted's book to life.
Emmy Awards
"Halloween Is Grinch Night" — Best Children's Special, 1977
"The Grinch Grinches The Cat in the Hat" — Best Children's Special, 1982
Peabody Award —
for the animated specials "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" and "Horton Hears a Who!" — 1971.
New York Public Library Literary Lion —
in 1986 Dr. Seuss was named a New York Public Library Literary Lion.
Caldecott Honor Books
McElligot's Pool — 1947
Bartholomew and the Oobleck — 1949
If I Ran the Zoo — 1950
The Legion of Merit,
a military award of the United States Armed Forces given for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements, was awarded to Ted for his efforts during World War II.
Hollywood Walk of Fame —
Dr. Seuss has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6600 Hollywood Boulevard.

Credit Cards (Regulation)
In the case of a complaint or problem with a credit card, a consumer should ordinarily contact the customer services office of the corporation that issued the card before taking other action. If the problem involves an act or omission of a retailer that was paid by using a credit card, the consumer should first try to resolve the problem by contacting the merchant. A consumer may also contact a consumer protection or law enforcement agency in the area or state where the corporation issued the credit card.
The Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, establishes procedures for resolving mistakes on credit billing and electronic fund transfer account statements, including:
- charges that the consumer has not made;
- charges that are incorrectly identified or show wrong amount or date;
- computation or similar errors;
- failure to reflect payments or credits;
- not mailing or delivering credit billing to your current address; and
charges for which the consumer requests an explanation or documentation, due to a possible error.
The FCBA generally applies only to "open end" credit accounts-credit cards, revolving charge accounts, and overdraft checking accounts. It does not apply to loans or credit sales that are paid according to a fixed schedule until the entire amount is paid back, such as an automobile loan.

Oracle Linux provides two complimentary technologies for patching and updating the operating system.
yum for updating RPM packages. Applications and libraries are packaged and distributed in the form of RPM packages, which are collected in yum repositories. Updates are installed by downloading the packages from the yum repository and installing them locally using the RPM package manager.
It's probably worth repeating that Oracle also provides updates (errata) for free from our Oracle Linux yum server - you can keep your system up to date and fully patched against security threats without the need of purchasing a support subscription. This makes Oracle Linux and ideal choice to install on both your development and production systems - it is up to you to individually choose which of these systems you want to have covered by a support subscription and at which level.
We also provide updates to the Linux operating system kernel in RPM format. However, these changes only take effect after the system has been rebooted, which can be quite disruptive in certain environments. Scheduling downtime for a reboot is never easy.
This is where Ksplice enters the picture. It is a technology that allows you to apply critical fixes to the Linux kernel as well as core userspace libraries such as glibc and openssl at run time, without the need to reboot your system. This is a feature that is unique to Oracle Linux. The system connects to the Ksplice server to obtain the individual rebootless patches, split up by security issues (which are usually tracked by CVE numbers). You can install all of the patches in one go, or choose to install only selected patches, without any service interruption or downtime. Ksplice patches can also be removed at run-time, in case they show any any unwanted or unexpected side-effects.
Both yum and ksplice require downloading patches from a remote server, so the client system needs to be able to connect to a remote server. In many cases, connecting to an update server located on the public Internet directly is not an option, due to security policies.
In the case of yum, it's possible to create a local copy of a repository and simply point all clients to obtain their patches from there instead. There are several ways to create and manage such local repositories, and Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Cloud Control and Ops Center both provide built-in functionality to support this. We also published a script on OTN that automates the task of downloading RPM packages from the Unbreakable Linux Network.
For Ksplice, it was already possible to set up a local server that would act as a caching proxy server for all available patches - the client systems would only have to connect to this server instead of contacting the remote Ksplice server over the Internet directly. However, this solution requires setting up a dedicated system just for this particular task, so many customers were not too happy about this solution.
The Ksplice team at Oracle now came up with an alternative solution - instead of providing the Ksplice patches as individual downloadable items, they are bundled inside an RPM package, one for each Linux kernel version we support. Any time a new ksplice patch is available, the respective RPM package will be refreshed. This way we can now deliver Ksplice patches via yum repositories, which is a well-established transport mechanism and can utilize already existing infrastructure. The process involves two steps: first you download the ksplice patch RPM using yum, then you run the local ksplice client, which has been modified to check for updates on the local file system instead of contacting the remote server. Even though you are using RPM to download the Ksplice patch bundle RPM, you still use the local ksplice client to apply the individual patches at run time.
This new Ksplice offline mode gives you the best of both worlds: being able to patch your Linux kernel at run-time without disrupting any services, while not requiring you to manage any additional infrastructure or services, or having to negotiate any exceptions to your firewall rules in order to allow your systems to contact the remote Ksplice server.
For more information about the Ksplice offline mode, please see Wim's blog post or check out the following video, which outlines the basic principles of how to apply updates to your Oracle Linux system:

Linkin Park, The Offspring + More to Play 'Concert for the Philippines' Typhoon Relief Benefit
Linkin Park, the Offspring and other special guests have been confirmed to perform at Concert for the Philippines on Jan. 11, 2014. The show will take place at Los Angeles' Club Nokia and the amount of tickets available are very, very limited.
Set up by Linkin Park's Music for Relief charitable organization, the Concert for the Philippines will raise money for the 12 million people who were impacted by Typhoon Haiyan. In November, Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines and other portions of Southeast Asia, causing thousands of deaths, massive flooding, landslides and widespread destruction.
Concert for the Philippines is limited to just 500 tickets, and those tickets will become available for those who donate or raise a minimum of $250 for typhoon relief. The first 300 people who reach Music for Relief's $250 goal will be guaranteed general admission pit tickets closest to the stage. Additionally, the top 75 fundraisers overall will be rewarded with perks such as meet + greets with the bands, VIP reserved seating, access to a VIP pre-party, parking, commemorative merch + more.
For those outside the L.A. area, special VIP ticket packages will be awarded to two lucky fans who have donated a minimum of $10 to Music for Relief. The packages include airfare and hotel costs, so for more information, visit the official Music for Relief website.

Each part of your treatment may have a cost. For example, if you have surgery, in addition to the cost of the surgery itself you may have separate charges for things like anesthesia and the time you spend at the hospital after the surgery.
Doctors aren't likely to know how much a procedure or course of treatment will cost on your insurance plan. But they can usually direct you to the people
who can get the information, such as:
Ask your doctor about any hidden costs involved in the

GED Test Price Will More Than Triple in 2014
Related Story
COLUMBIA - This is the last year to take the GED test for $40 before the price jumps to $140 next year in Missouri. In addition to the cost increase, the new test will be more difficult and will be a completely computer-based test. This is the first time since 2002 the test will change.
The GED test gives adults who did not graduate high school the opportunity to get a Missouri High School Equivalency Certificate.
The test is divided in to five sections: reading, writing, math, science and social studies. Scores for partially completed tests will be thrown out at the end of the year.
Missouri is not bound to keeping the GED test forever. Christi Phillips, coordinator of Columbia's Adult Education and Literacy Program said the state is now accepting bids from other test services.
Phillips said the Columbia Area Career Center's GED program currently has about 400 students. Regardless of which test Missouri will choose for next year, Phillips said she knows it will mean big changes for the career center.
She said one of the biggest changes will be the switch from pencil and paper exams to exams done solely on a computer. This will also mean teaching a whole new set of skills to students preparing for the GED.
"Right now our funding isn't tied to teaching those computer skills. So while it's going to be a necessary part of getting them their GED it's also something we're not funded for right now. So it's going to be a big change all over the state on how we allocate our resources," Phillips said.
Jean Hall teaches government funded classes at Douglass High School for adults getting their GEDs.
Her advice for those debating if and when to get a GED: "Do it and do it this year. It's going to be more expensive. I would say get in now and get it done."
Like many of Hall's students, Nancy Ballincas has a family and another job.
"The first thing is my family, then my kids, I'm the last person," Ballincas said.
She has been coming to this class whenever she is able to for the past two years.
"The reason why I started coming to school is because when I came to this country that was one of my dreams."
Ballincas came to the U.S. from Mexico City at 14. She now has three kids of her own.
"We only have one opportunity in our lives. I think when you're younger it's better to do it than when you get older. It's very hard to retain what you learn. So if anybody will ask me what would you do if you we're younger, I would say go to school and do something," Ballincas said.
But for some people, the rise in cost may keep them from pursuing their GED.
"I think 40 bucks is a lot for a lot of people. It's something you have to maybe plan for that if you're struggling to make ends meet with paying your bills and with food and with children, it can be a struggle to come up with that $40. So $140 is an even greater jump and a lot of people are really going to have a hard time meeting that," Phillips said.
Ballincas is determined to get her GED this year. Her goal is to take the test March 5.
Armand Diaz with GED Test Services said the new test will be an improvement from the current test. He said the new test will give test-takers instant score reports and more in depth analysis of what their score means. He said this means it will tell you what areas you did well in and what colleges or careers you might consider. If you did poorly in one area,the analysis will tell you strategies for improvement, according to Diaz.

A Critical Analysis of an Icon of Science
A single man stands behind the greatest deception in history. Charles Darwin's ideas still penetrate every aspect of our culture, including science, religion, and education. And while much has been made of his contribution to the evolutionary hypothesis, little has been publicized about the dark side of the man himself and how this may have impacted the quality and legitimacy of his research.
This daring and compelling book takes its readers behind the popular facade of a man revered worldwide as a scientific pioneer, and unveils what kind of person Darwin really was. The book reveals disturbing facts that will help you:
Thoroughly documented, this book reveals Darwin's less-than-above board methods of attempting to prove his so-called scientific beliefs, and his plot to 'murder God' by challenging the then-dominant biblical worldview.

Russom and Ruane paced Harvard at the 2012 Yale Women's Intersectional with a second-place finish in the A division (Justine Agaloos).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Gram Slattery and Alma Lafler sailed to four single-digit finishes in six races in the A division to help the Harvard coed sailing team earn sixth at the Captain Hurst Bowl at Dartmouth. Sparked by a second-place result in the A division of the 2012 Yale Women's Intersectional Regatta, the women claimed eighth overall.
With Slattery as skipper and Lafler as crew, the Crimson posted three top-five finishes and 43 points in the A division boat at the Captain Hurst Bowl. The duo started strong, placing third in the first race of the regatta, before taking fourth in the fifth race to secure fourth in the division. Harvard finished ahead of the eventual overall winner, Boston College, which placed sixth with 54 points, and two points behind the U.S. Naval Academy and Brown. The Midshipmen owned the head-to-head tiebreaker against the Bears and placed second.
Freshmen Andrew Mollerus and Sydney Karnvosky sailed as skipper and crew, respectively, in the B division boat that tallied 65 points on two top-ten finishes to edge Brown by one point for eighth. The classmates' best result came in the second race, when they finished third. The Eagles used a 20-point, first-place finish in the division to win the regatta with 74 points. Brown ultimately nipped Harvard for fifth overall by one point, as the Bears registered 107 points compared to the Crimson's 108.
Battling unpredictable winds on Saturday, Morgan Russom and Isabel Ruane won race five as part of four top-five finishes in six races at Yale. Russom, who skippered, and Ruane hit the water for one race on Sunday, placing 10th out of 22 teams to polish off an impressive 49-point effort. The Crimson bettered their neighbors on the Charles River, MIT, and the hosts by three and four points, respectively, while Dartmouth totaled 33 points to win the A division.
"They utilized good boat speed to move their way up through the fleet," Harvard sailing head coach Mike O'Connor said of their performance.
In the B division, Caitlin Watson, Sophie Bermudez, Jacquelyn Cooley and Emma Smith teamed up to turn in 97 points and place 18th. Connecticut College also tallied 97 points, but the Camels held a head-to-head tiebreaker. Dartmouth finished with 78 points, six better than Yale, en route to its first victory in the Yale Women's Intersectional in a decade.
Harvard next competes in the Hoyt Trophy, a coed regatta, at Brown Oct. 20-21.

RNAO is in the midst of membership season, which means home office staff is working hard to inform RNs of the benefits that come with joining the province's professional nursing association. Perks include: liability protection, professional development through conferences and institutes, access to BPGs, political advocacy opportunities through rallies, meetings with MPPs and events at Queen's Park, career development assistance, networking events, and so much more.
But did you know the association's 35,000-plus members also play a critical role when it comes to recruiting more RNs? In fact, RNAO has created a recruitment incentive program just for members. It's called Get 7. Through this initiative, members who recruit seven new RN members get their next year's membership free. And you don't need to recruit seven colleagues to benefit. For every RN you sign up as a new RNAO member, you earn a $20 RNAO gift certificate that can be applied toward future membership fees or RNAO conferences and workshops. For every undergraduate nursing student you recruit, you will earn $5 to spend at RNAO.
This year, 140 members recruited 82 RNs and 627 students. One member, Katherine Ross, brought 11 new RN members on board. And Ross isn't the only star recruiter. The following eight RNs helped to swell RNAO's ranks by getting over 200 students to sign up: Angela Apresto recruited 76 students; Nicole Landgraff recruited 65 students; Janet Hunt recruited 54; Carrie Bullard, Lisa Richter and Catherine Mayers recruited 32 each; Elizabeth McCrudden recruited 30; and Daphne Kong recruited 27.
Combined, these nurses received over $4,000 in gift certificates.
Congratulations to our star recruiters, who help to ensure there are more nurses speaking out for their profession, and for health.

There are two colours to choose from. This is a darker brown shade. I bought both shades actually. The video shows me trying out the darker shade. The pack comes with 2 eyebrow shaped stamps. Take your pick. One is thicker and one is thinner. One is also quite straight like the Korean eyebrows.
For a change, investing in this gave me a totally different new look with new eyebrow shapes. What do you think?
Below: Me all made up minus the brow stamp and without any eyebrows drawn.
After the eyebrow stamp.
Here's a before and after side by side.
Tag me and show me your pictures if you have purchased it and stamped it! I wanna see!!!

JLL recently hosted a master class, together with the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA) with a focus on smart buildings, the Internet of Things and the environmental impact of data on building management.
Ewout Holst, Head Corporate Solutions Sub-Saharan Africa, JLL was on the podium to discuss a two-pronged approach to future proofing property portfolios: 1) create work environments that integrate, optimise and connect your work force and 2) implement a data-centric strategy that provides intelligent insight and pro-active decision making.
When it comes to influencing business performance, the role of workplace strategy in an organisation is becoming essential. It can help reduce cost, improve productivity and act as a catalyst for staff engagement and creativity. Globally, health and wellbeing in the workspace has become top of mind as companies focus more on their core assets – their people.
Your real estate could be playing an enhanced role, making your company more efficient and profitable by creating an optimum workplace. To really feel the benefits, you need to apply innovative business solutions that bring agility and flexibility to your work spaces. These in turn will drive reduction in costs and growth of outputs.
These are the type of questions you need to be asking to prompt a conversation around synergies and efficiencies that can add strategic, C-suite value to your organisation:
- Does your workplace foster productivity, collaboration and innovation?
- Do you currently have desks sitting empty?
- Do you proactively manage your occupancy costs?
The right answers lie in current, relevant workplace solutions. By employing sensor technology, for instance, in your departments and meeting rooms, you can develop a good understanding of how your office is being interacted with, how long an employee sits at a particular work station, how often your meeting rooms are utilised, etc. With occupancy costs per square meter and energy consumption particularly relevant from an expenditure and sustainability perspective, the results can lead to important decisions about space utilisation.
Then there are considerations like using technology to measure temperature, CO2, lux, decibels and humidity levels to ensure an optimum environment for cognitive thinking. The way a building functions can be directly linked to employee performance and efficiency levels.
Some interesting facts and figures:
- Good air quality = employees are 183% more effective at strategy
- Improved acoustics = 6% increase in productivity
- Improved views & lighting = 5.5% increase in productivity
It has been proven that by transforming work, optimising space and enhancing employee experience, real estate can improve productivity and efficiencies. Did you know that workplace culture and facilities have a higher impact on employee attraction than salary?
The performance of your business and your people is directly impacted if you are restructuring/ optimising your portfolio or relocating to new offices. For best results, make sure you implement workplace/change management guidelines and use data, predictive analytics and technology to its full advantage.
JLL is a global thought leader in the world of workplace strategy and technology solutions.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. (AP) Dwayne Evans scored 18 points and Saint Louis played solid defense to defeat St. Bonaventure 67-57 in an Atlantic 10 Conference game Saturday.
The Billikens (14-5, 3-2) came in as the league's top defense, holding opponents to 57.9 points per game, and limited the Bonnies (9-10, 2-4), who had averaged 72.1 points, to 36.2 percent shooting (17 of 47), including 2 of 16 on 3-pointers.
Saint Louis scored 27 points off 19 St. Bonaventure turnovers to the Bonnies' 16 points on 13 turnovers, and the Billikens had a 16-2 edge in fast-break points. Cody Ellis had four steals to go with 10 points for Saint Louis.
Evans scored on a dunk and a 3-pointer as the Billikens scored the game's first seven points. St. Bonaventure got back to within 9-7 before a 10-0 run by Saint Louis.
Demitrius Conger led the Bonnies with 15 points.

Situated in the city's Bolton Hill neighborhood is a relatively new development of brick townhouses solidly placed among the late Victorian and early-20th-century structures that once housed the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Woodrow Wilson and, more recently, pianist Leon Fleisher.
This little enclave within an enclave is called Lions Park Fountains. The two-story houses hug the periphery of an open, brick-paved courtyard with benches and fountains. Large statues of lions guard the entrance to the 1980 development. The home of Tim and Caroline Ingles, which they bought for $250,000 at the end of 2002, sits at the end of a group.
"We left a very sterile suburban environment outside of Denver to live and raise our daughter in a place of diversity in the city," said Tim Ingles, a 54-year-old engineer with Boeing. "An important part of our decision was also to downsize [and] buy within our means so that we could live close to a cultural center and have the features in [our] home that we thought most important."
The couple and their now-12-year-old daughter, Hallie, lived in a furnished apartment for over a month while their home got a makeover to suit their needs.
The most radical of interior structural changes was tearing the walls down in the back of the home to create a very large kitchen and living area.
"The great room we created changed the house entirely from its original design … which was walled-in," noted Caroline Ingles, a 51-year-old employee of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in Woodlawn. "We now have an open living room and kitchen, and with the addition of the modern gas fireplace, it has really become the hub of the house."
From the front entrance, the eye is drawn beyond closets, a formal dining room and a staircase to the second level and to the large open rear of the house, where the major decorating theme is contemporary and minimalistic.
"We evolved stylewise," Caroline Ingles said. "Less is more."
A five-piece brown leather sectional sofa custom-made in Brazil dominates one side of the room whose walls are painted an eggshell color. A tan carpet sits on oak flooring and dark brown shades cover the windows and doors. A 60-inch flat-screen TV adds to the casual look of the room. The neutral decor is offset by splashes of color found in the large cityscape and landscape paintings hung on the walls.
"Tim took up painting at the age of 40 after our New Mexico honeymoon," Caroline Ingalls said.
Tim Ingles' work, mostly oils with a few watercolors and acrylics, range in subject matter from Baltimore landmarks such as Penn Station to portraits of his daughter. In addition to the original artwork, family photographs are displayed throughout the house as well as vintage art and pottery.
Part of the great room, a maple L-shaped island with a black Silestone countertop sets the tone for a modern kitchen that includes stainless-steel appliances and a backsplash from counter to ceiling fashioned from half-inch-square glass tiles in shades of green, blue and brown. The kitchen, which Caroline Ingles designed, cost $50,000 — well worth the price since, she said, family gatherings revolve around food and TV.
A more formal dining room features walls painted muted gray against which a contemporary, maple suite of table, chairs and china closet make a dramatic contrast.
The home's second level includes Hallie Ingles' bedroom, Caroline Ingles' office and the master suite.
"My husband and I really love our master bedroom suite, especially when the leaves are out on the trees and it becomes a really charming sanctuary," she said.
As in the dining room, the bedroom's walls are painted dark gray, while a light pecan suite creates what she calls "a respite from the TV and computers that dominate the other rooms."
Tim Ingles adds, "This room is the perfect place for a nap on a sunny afternoon with the sun filtering in through the lush maple trees in the quiet park just outside our windows."
As for that setting outside the bedroom window, he said "We can step out our front door into a park and be a few minutes' walk from many of the city's attractions."

today's reading.
Genesis 42:1-21 When Jacob learned that there was grain for sale in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?...
think about it.
How would you have responded to the brothers if you'd been in Joseph's position?
the blog.
Well, Joseph gets a surprise in Genesis 42:1-21. His brothers, every single one that threw him into the pit and then sold him into slavery, are in Egypt seeking to purchase grain, and they are bowing before him. Imagine that! Joseph's brothers don't recognize him. So Joseph proceeds, not revealing who he is and treating them fairly harshly. And the more he interacts with them, the more he finds out about his family.
So what do you think is up with Joseph here? The more I thought it, I could understand Joseph's thinking and actions. Think about it. He hasn't seen his brothers in over 20 years, and the last time he saw them, they hated him. He doesn't have any clue what's transpired with his brothers. He doesn't know if or how they've developed or changed. So we see some investigating, probing and examining of his brothers. In my mind, that makes sense considering the situation. So Joseph's actions were a good reminder for me that there will be times when I need to be cautious and patient before I jump in and respond or act, and I need to be tuned in to when that may be the case.
So what spoke to you from this passage? What did you learn from Joseph or even Jacob and the brothers today? Tami W.
P.S. We're in the middle of a 3-week study on the life of Joseph. And if you'd like to go a little deeper, jump in to the series on Back to the Bible. It's called Joseph: Making Life Out of Lemons.

The relatives of Apache chieftain Geronimo want his remains and they are fighting the United States government, a Yale secret society and Yale University to get them back.
But the government says it should be left out of the quest by Geronimo's descendants for the 100-year-old bones.
The U.S. Justice Department asked a federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit Geronimo's descendants filed in February for the right to move Geronimo's remains from Fort Sill to a site near his birthplace in New Mexico, the Yale Daily News reports.
Geronimo died in 1909 from pneumonia while being held as a prisoner of war, so the family named President Barack Obama, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Secretary of the Army Pete Geren as defendants because Geronimo's remains are the property of the federal government.
Also included in the suit are Yale University and the school's secret society, Skull and Bones, whom Geronmio's family claim took some of the remains in 1918 from a burial plot in Fort Sill, Okla., to keep in its New Haven clubhouse.
According to the Daily News, it is rumored that Prescott Bush -- father of George H.W. Bush and grandfather to George W. Bush -- was involved in taking the remains from Geronimo's grave and bringing them back to their society in New Haven, a claim that has been disputed for some time.
On June 10, the government filed a motion to oppose a lawsuit because "the plaintiffs' demands do not fall within the jurisdiction of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act," according to the Yale Daily News.
The motion was filed on behalf of President Obama, Gates and Geren.
Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, who is representing Geronimo's family, told the Daily News they will continue their fight but would not take legal action against Yale or Skull and Bones until after opening the grave to see if any of the remains are missing.
But, questions remain as to why the federal government wants to keep Geronimo buried at Fort Sill, he told the paper.
"They're still fighting the Indian wars, and they want to retain the remains of Geronimo to show that they won," he said.
Members of the secret society include both Presidents Bush, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and many others in government and industry positions. Skull and Bones is unaffiliated with the university.

A view of Umbriel from Voyager 2 in 1986. Thanks to Ted Stryk who specializes in re-imaging images from old missions with today's advanced computing. There are few images of this place and no missions planned any time soon… so these may be all we ever see of it in our lifetime.
The most interesting detail revealed in these images is the bright white disk that appears at the top of this image which is actually at the equator. Since the Uranian system is turned on its side almost 90 degrees to the rest of the solar system, Voyager passed all of its moons at nearly the same time. The orientation means we are actually seeing the southern pole nearly straight on in both these images. Such an unusually high-contrast feature reminds one of Saturn's strange moon Iapetus. It could be the same phenomenon that made Iapetus look the way it does may have also been at work on Umbriel.

Key Body Measurements to Ensure the Right Clothing Fit for Women
Every item of clothing a woman puts on — from the outerwear to underwear — should be a fabulous fit. That's why it's so important to know what your true sizes are. With this info in hand, you can shop efficiently and effectively and build a wardrobe that not only looks great but feels great, too.
Chest: Start at the fullest part of your bust with the tape and circle under your armpits, around your shoulder blades, and back to the front.
Waist: Without sucking in your stomach, circle your waist with the tape at your natural waist line. (If you bend to the side, the crease that forms is your natural waist line.)
Hips: Measure around the largest part of your buttocks (use a mirror to make sure you have the tape measure in the right place).
Inseam: Have a friend stretch a tape measure from your crotch (while you're wearing pants) to the bottom of your ankle. Or, if you have a pair of pants that fit you perfectly, you can measure the inseam yourself: Just stretch the tape from crotch to hem. Remember that the proper inseam depends on the height of the heel you wear with the pants.
Thigh: Take your thigh measurement around the fullest part of your thigh.
Upper arm: Measure around at the widest part of your arm.
Sleeve length: Place your hand at your waist, bending your elbow 90 degrees. Have a friend measure from the middle of the back of your neck to your shoulder, down your arm to the elbow, and then on to the wrist.
To get the most accurate measurements, use a cloth tape measure, not a metal one, and measure yourself on your bare skin, not over clothes (except for your inseam). Also, make sure that when you circle your chest, waist. or hips the tape is level and not too tight or too loose.

According to Toronto Sun's Bob Elliott, the Cubs and Blue Jays have discussed a possible trade that would send Vernon Wells to Chicago and bring Milton Bradley north of the border.
"It's early on, but we think this one has some legs," one Cubs official told Elliott. "But they aren't the only team we are talking with."
The Cubs are in a situation where they are under pressure to find a way to get someone to take Bradley off their hands. The Jays are in a situation where Wells' contract is looking more and more the albatross as his performance has dropped.
For Toronto, such a swap would make sense in one way and one way only. It'd free up a huge chunk of salary (Wells is owed $107 million through 2014) and would bring in a short-term solution in Bradley (two years, $21 million left on his deal).
If such a trade did take place, it would be the second time Toronto was bailed out of a huge contract in a matter of months. In August, the White Sox agreed to assume everything Alex Rios was owed through 2015 after claiming him off waivers. If the Cubs were willing to take Wells' entire contract, it might be tempting to pull off the swap.
But for Bradley?
To me, this wouldn't fall in line with the much-emphasized philosophy of new Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos. Since taking over for J.P. Ricciardi, Anthopoulos has stressed the importance of building an organization with high-quality employees on and off the field. Given his history, Bradley does not fit that category.
Bringing Bradley to Toronto would seem to contradict all that talk. Beyond that, the Cubs would suddenly have two of the most untradeable contracts (Wells and Alfonso Soriano) in the game if they pulled the trigger on this. So, given the size of Wells' deal and Bradley's history, I'm not sure this deal would happen.
It's an interesting rumor, though.
UPDATE: Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune shoots down Elliott's report. Sullivan has a Cubs source who says the deal has "no legs at all." His source goes as far as saying the teams have not even discussed such a trade.
2 Comments
So, what about this Bradley swap? The reason that I like it is becasue there are supposedly other teams interested in acquiring Bradley from the cubs. As far as we know, Wells passed through waivers without a sniff. I say we dump Wells on the Cubs, then trade bradely for a bag of balls (or some better hot dogs at the dome).
This post from another blog probably describes the deal the best.
"Imagine if Toronto wins the lottery twice in one year all courtesy of Chicago (the first win being the Rios to Chisox deal). "
Any way Vernon Wells can be traded is a good thing, he's a cancer on this team.

Cpl. Charles Grossenbacher of Dover did a "little bit of everything" during his service in World War II.
Cpl. Charles Grossenbacher of Dover did a "little bit of everything" during his service in World War II.
Infantry. Messenger service. Radar operator.
"Whatever they wanted," he said, smiling. Mostly he was mechanic on weapons in the artillery division. "We had a lot of heavy artillery. Big guns. They kept the Germans back."
From delivering messages on motorcycle to making friends with a donkey and eventually the front lines of war, the four years Grossenbacher spent with the U.S. Army were anything but routine.
Grossenbacher was 22, living in Dover and working at Republic Steel in Canton when he was inducted into the Army in September 1941 — only three months after he was married to his wife, Joy, and a few weeks before the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
"I went up to Cleveland (for a physical) and they said 'You're in the Army.' Same day," remembered Grossenbacher.
As American and British forces fought their way across northern Africa, and then advanced into Italy, Grossenbacher added to his expansive resume of war duties. He maintained guns, but he also worked on tank and truck engines.
At one point he was a courier, delivering messages on motorcycles.
"We weren't supposed to have them," he said, "but we took them anyway. We made daily runs. I rode a Harley for awhile, and I had a big, old BMW with a side coach for awhile."
It was in Africa that he and his fellow soldiers adopted a pet donkey.
"We kept it around for a long time.
He was just a little baby when we got him. We took him everywhere we went. He followed us around like a dog. He liked to eat our bread. We encountered real heavy artillery one day, and he
disappeared. Never came back."
In Italy, Grossenbacher was among troops that landed at Anzio. When landing craft neared the beach, troops were told the water was only six feet deep. In truth, it was well over the soldiers' heads, and many of the men drowned. Grossenbacher survived by taking off his backpack and swimming to shore with only his rifle.
Grossenbacher spent some time running the outfit's radar while in Italy. He was among men sent back to the United States for a time, before being brought back overseas to Northern Ireland and, eventually, France.
Troops fought their way into Germany.
"Most of it was hit and run. You sneak in and you sneak out."
Soldiers took an abbey from the Germans at one point in the war. Later, the Americans found a wine cellar in the basement which provided beverage for a victory celebration.
Grossenbacher eventually was able to celebrate victory over the Germans. "I was in Czechoslovakia when the war (in Europe) ended."
After coming back to the U.S., he returned to his job at Republic Steel and resumed his life with his wife. Next summer, Joy and Charles Grossenbacher will have been married 73 years.
They raised four children — daughter Sherry and sons Max, Mack, and Bob — and have several grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. They lived in Strasburg from late in the 1960s until recently, when they moved to Dover.
Following his time at Republic, Grossenbacher took lessons through the mail to do body work on vehicles.
"He became a very good body man, he could do everything," his wife said.
Grossenbacher worked for various shops around the area, putting years between his civilian and his military lives.
"It was a long time ago," Grossenbacher says. "I caught a lot of hell, but learned a lot of stuff."

The Washington Post reports that President Obama wants the federal government to continue to have a major role in housing finance, perhaps by creating a new version of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Despite an almost immediate denial of the story by Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wollin, the Post's account is so detailed that it is likely to be true.
The story is given extra credence by the fact that it tracks with the Obama Administration's February comments about the future of housing finance: "As Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are wound down, we must design a transition that allows for continued [government] support of the housing market, so that Americans continue to have the ability to take out a mortgage to buy a home or refinance their existing mortgage" (page 27).
Any new or revised form of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would be a huge mistake that would end up costing taxpayers yet more billions of dollars to bail out eventually. Already, taxpayers are on the hook for more than $150 billion that has gone to the existing housing finance giants because of losses they suffered when the housing bubble burst in 2007.
Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must be permanently and completely closed as quickly as the process can be responsibly completed. And under no circumstances should they be replaced with a program that would inevitably grow into a new Fannie Mae.
This is not a radical notion. According to the Post story, both Obama's former Council of Economic Advisors Chairman Austan Goolsby and former National Economic Council Chairman Lawrence Summers—neither exactly a conservative—favored ending Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and not replacing them. The story says that Goolsby "argued that the federal role in housing distorts the free market. By subsidizing mortgage investments, he argued, the government drives capital away from other types of investments—for example, those in companies developing environmentally friendly technology. He also warned that the government is putting enormous sums of taxpayer money on the line while conveying little actual benefit to home buyers."
Assuming that the story's account is accurate, Goolsby is exactly right. The private sector is more than capable of creating mortgage-backed securities and pricing an appropriate guarantee. In the future, the housing finance system should not contain anything similar to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or any clone of either. That should be the guiding principle of housing finance reform.

Department of Revenue News Release
April 14, 2010As Tax Deadline Approaches, Dept. of Revenue Offers Advice for Last-Minute Filers
JEFFERSON CITY - Even with the deadline looming to file individual income tax returns, the Missouri Department of Revenue urges citizens to ensure they are as thorough as possible when filing the last-minute returns.
"With the clock ticking and the deadline being so close, I'm sure some people are hurrying to finish this year's tax return," said Alana M. Barragán-Scott, director of the Department. "However, it's in every filer's best interest to fill out the tax forms correctly because an incomplete or inaccurate return can slow down its processing and cause delays."
About 2.8 million individual income tax returns are expected from Missouri taxpayers by the deadline of tomorrow (Thursday, April 15).
Barragán-Scott advised Missouri citizens to avoid the most common mistakes that plague tax return filers. One common mistake is not signing the return. Another is not including necessary documentation like W-2 forms, interest/dividend statements from financial institutions, the MO-A form if claiming itemized deductions, or a copy of a taxpayer's federal tax return. Ensuring that Social Security number or bank account information is correct is also vital. Mistakes can cause returns to be manually checked and slow down the processing of a return or refund.
Another thing to double check is entering the correct standard deduction based on the filing status. People who are blind, 100 percent disabled or 65 or older should note their status on the state return because it qualifies them for a larger standard deduction.
If a taxpayer intends to fill out paper tax return forms and mail a return, Barragán-Scott says not to assume that all local post offices will be open late on April 15 to accept returns. Although some post offices offer this service, many do not. Barragán-Scott advises people to call their local post office and ask about their hours of operation to check whether they will be open late enough to accommodate the mailing of a return during the evening of April 15. Mailed tax returns must be postmarked no later than April 15 to meet the deadline.
Missouri grants an automatic extension of time to file a state return if filing for a federal extension is completed, and if a tax payment to the state is not expected. This extension is good for six months (or until Oct. 15) for individual income taxpayers. But an extension of time to file an income tax return does not extend the time for payment of any taxes that are due. Citizens might have to pay penalties even if they file an extension but do not pay the tax in full by the due date. A state extension form (the MO-60) and other guidelines on extensions are available at http://dor.mo.gov/forms/MO-60.pdf. The federal extension form is Form 4868, and it is available at www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf.
Copies of tax return forms and answers to common questions about tax returns are available at the Department of Revenue's Taxation Web site, http://www.dor.mo.gov/personal/ and the Internal Revenue Service Web site, www.irs.gov. The Department of Revenue also has seven assistance centers throughout Missouri that people can visit in person, call or e-mail to get answers to questions. The centers are in Cape Girardeau, Jefferson City, Joplin, Kansas City, St. Joseph, St. Louis and Springfield. Contact information for the centers can be accessed on the Internet at http://dor.mo.gov/contact/assistance.php. Operating hours for all of the offices through the month of April are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Individuals with speech or hearing impairments can call TDD 1-800-735-2966.
"Fill-in forms" are also available on the Department of Revenue Web site at http://dor.mo.gov/forms/ and instructions on how to use these "2D barcode" forms are available on the Department's Web site at http://dor.mo.gov/faq/personal/2dbarcode.php. These forms are filled out on a computer, but are then printed out by the taxpayer and mailed to the Department of Revenue. Using 2-D barcode returns allow for faster processing by the Department, as it reduces data entry. The barcode contains all the information typed into the completed form and is ready for scanning by the Department.

While open wheel racing thrives elsewhere
in the world, in the USA it faces possible extinction, not only because
of stock car racing's popularity, but because open wheel racing is its
own worst enemy. The entire sport is in disarray and one has to
question whether there will be any open wheel racing in the USA ten
years from now.
How can a sport that dates back to the
early 1900s (first Indy 500 in 1911) and has a much longer history than
stock car racing, which essentially started in 1950 when NASCAR was
formed, all of a sudden be faced with possible extinction?
The headless
body of open wheel racing leaves open wheel
riding dead into the sunset
The sport is self-destructing on
all fronts and it all started on that fateful day in 1994 when
Tony George set the wheels in motion for his Indy Racing League.
In what can only be described as the stupidest move in the
history of the sport, George drove a stake through the heart of
open wheel racing. In essence he cut off the head (the top
rung of open wheel racing) and now the body is dying.
The divide and be conquered disease has now hit the
World of Outlaws Winged Sprint Car (with the formation of the
National Sprintcar League and then the National Sprint Tour) and
USAC's non-Winged Sprint Car Series with the rumored breakaway
dirt track series. Because USAC is hell bent on the
Superspeedway Sprintcar idea, and because most team owners can't
afford the new cars, or detest moving away from the sports
dirt track roots, a new breakaway dirt track series is
supposedly in the works.
Wheel Racing is dividing and dying
Because Tony George destroyed the
top-rung of open wheel racing, the sponsors and manufacturers
have slowly left the sport of Indy Car Racing. Sponsors are smart
enough to avoid getting involved in the open wheel civil war when they
can move to a much more harmonious environment in NASCAR where everyone
is rowing in the same direction.
Even the fans of open wheel racing
despise each other. Numerous fan discussion forums on the internet
are fraught with hatred for 'the other side' and are continually trying
to tear down the so-called opponent. Open wheel racing has become
its own worst enemy with the various factions caused by the split
rejoicing each time something bad happens to the other half.
Infighting over bragging rights,
sponsors, tracks, teams and even drivers is like a cancer that is slowly
killing the sport.
What would happen to the sport of stock
car racing if all of a sudden NASCAR was broken up, and what is now such
a strong focus at the top of the sport became a tit-for-tat battle for
supremacy? The same cancer we see destroying open wheel racing
would begin to permeate throughout stock car racing.
Racing, while a much bigger sport today
than it was 20 years ago, simply isn't big enough to be able to
survive a breakup. Racing by its very nature is an expensive
sport. There simply is not enough sponsorship money to go around
to ensure a multifaceted effort.
Behind the scenes the France family was
smart enough to head off a possible breakaway league a couple of years
ago. The TRAC league was announced and it even had NASCAR legend
Cale Yarborough as one of its key figures. Mysteriously TRAC
quickly faded away and everyone suspects that the France family did
whatever it had to behind the scenes to see that the league never saw
the light of day.
There must be a merger of the IRL and Champ Car, or one must soon
die, for the sake of the sport's future
Unless the key principals in open wheel
racing step back, realize that their sport is under attack (both from
outside competition as well as its own internal divide-and-be-conquered
cancer) and unite, I simply don't see America's oldest form of
motorsport being around at all 10 or so years from now unless the head
of open wheel racing is put back on its body by reuniting the IRL and
Champ Car. The longer the two stay divided, the better the chance
open wheel racing will eventually become extinct in the USA.
And the history books will point to that
fateful day in 1994 when one Anton George sliced off its head.
