Scratch your itchy game finger with one of these great new game apps...
Reckless racing

Originally called Deliverace, this top-down redneck racer is full of thrills and spills as you fling your car or truck sideways around the corners on tracks set in backwater America. There are head-to-head multiplayer and delivery modes to keep you busy, but a few more tracks than the current five would be very welcome.
Cut the rope
iOS3, £0.59
From the publisher who brought you Angry Birds, this one's game mechanic is also in the title. Cut the ropes holding up the giant humbug to collect stars and deposit it in hungry toothed frog thing Om Nom's mouth. So simple but ridiculously addictive.

You can try before you buy – just as well, considering the steep price tag.
Slimeball Speedway
Android, $3.49
Just the other day we were lamenting the lack of games featuring people-eating blobs made of toxic waste.

Courteney Cox knew exactly what David Arquette was going to say to Howard Stern Tuesday, right down to the comment about having sex with another woman.
Sources in a position to know tell TMZ ... David and Courteney talked before David made his appearance on Howard's radio show, and she was "fine" with what David would say.
But here's a twist ... David just tweeted he "shared too much" on the Stern show, adding, "It's alright for me to be honest about my own feelings but in retrospect some of the information I provided involved others and for that I am sorry and humbled."

Xbxrx at the Boogie Room
I intentionally parked about a half-mile away from the Boogie Room last night so I could walk the long narrow road in rural Santa Rosa under the moonlight, surrounded by farmland, alone. It's something I used to do plenty often, before I had a driver's license—and before most of Santa Rosa's empty fields were turned into tract homes. It was serene, and I think, since the Boogie Room is located pretty much in the blissful middle of nowhere, that I'll make a tradition of it.
I don't want to say too much about the Boogie Room, because in the guerilla tradition of the last couple years, it's an under-the-radar venue and probably prefers to stay that way. Think of it as a Studio E for the younger set; a homey place to see friends, play fetch with the house dog, sit by the campfire, and watch terrific bands in a cozy barn in the middle of a field. House concerts, as it were, with an edge.
I was given a tour of the sprawling grounds by Bryce, who's something of a navigator for this amazing, multi-tiered ship. He enthusiastically showed me around the large greenhouse and huge garden; the collection of barns full of old cars and owls; and the many, many improvements that he and other residents have made since they moved in about a year ago. Sliding open the door to one leaning barn, he blankly explained that it was where the previous tenant, who had been running a chop-shop for stolen cars and a methamphetamine lab, had hung himself.
In the music room, the junkyard classicism of the Highlands—a cellist, a violinist, a possessed guitarist and two drummers—was filling the place up. After a truncated set by Battlehooch, who manhandled a Theremin, a Sony Watchman and multiple vocal effects before submitting to technical difficulties, it was time for the Iditarod, who were as epic and majestic as their name implies. Medieval synthesizer solos, heralding trumpets, three-part-harmony battle cries, absolutely strange guitar playing and hyperactive drum beats. Shit, as they say, was goin' off.
I'd never seen Xbxrx before, but I could tell that the guys standing by the side of the stage had to be the band members. They looked bored and annoyed, like they couldn't wait to play and get the whole thing over with, and sure enough, as soon as the Iditarod were finished, it took exactly 40 seconds for them to start hurriedly setting up their equipment on the stage. So I wasn't expecting much; after all, they've been a band for ten years, they've toured with Sonic Youth and Deerhoof, their last few shows were in Berlin, London, and Amsterdam—why would they possibly care about Santa Rosa?
But a total transformation occurred when they plugged in and started playing; it was like they'd become lightning rods for all the Earth's energy for miles around. They leapt, flailed, ran, fell down, writhed, spun, and shook wildly. . . and that's just in the first two minutes. I've seen a lot of goddamn hardcore mayhem, but this was up there. Way up there.
In matching baby-blue outfits, the guys in Xbxrx didn't perform so much as they blurred their way around the entire barn, as far as their guitar cables would allow, unpredictably crashing around while playing blast after blast of insane noise. They climbed the walls, they banged their heads on the ground, they shoved their bodies behind the couch and they did haphazard flips into the crowd. Antagonizing, sure, but even though I stood just a couple feet from the guitarist's amplifier and mic stand the whole time, I amazingly never once got hit.
At the end of the set, one of the guitarists crawled underneath the stage with his guitar and just laid there in a fetal position. He didn't move. It made sense, in a way. So I left before Batman vs. Predator with my ears ringing, and walked the half-mile back to my car in the quiet foggy midnight air.

By Jeff Case
Ever since actor Will Ferrell broke out his classic impersonation of legendary Chicago Cubs play-by-play man Harry Caray on "Saturday Night Live" in 1996, it's become a popular impersonation to take a stab at. Most times, people end up doing an impersonation of Ferrell than Caray himself. But the spirit of the mimicking is often in the right place: random baseball facts, oddball questions and more that make you realize just how hard it is to entertain an audience throughout a baseball season as Caray did so well for years.
Longtime Cub-now-turned-Red Sox (in the offseason) Ryan Dempster had a couple of funny Caray impersonations the last few years. Another notable baseball player to pick up the Caray mantle lately is Texas Rangers pitcher Derek Holland. A couple of the Rangers attended last night's Hornets-Spurs game in San Antonio — one of whom was Holland — and so San Antonio's radio play-by-play man Bill Schoening (an amateur Caray impersonator himself) sat down with Holland to do an all-Caray interview. Check it out below:
Our review?: Some pretty funny moments, but overall, it's not on the level of Ferrell (or even Dempster's for that matter). Still, it's good for a little late-week chuckle.

AAPC needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 82 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
This logo is for an Apostolic Pentecostal Church.
Alberton Apostolic Pentecostal Church
Hi there,
I need a logo designed for my church. I would like for it to somehow involve the cross, but not be centered around the cross. Be creative. Also, I may want to include the canadian flag in a small way, but this is not definite. Feel free to include or exclude this from your design. Colour is not all that important, although bright colours probably won't work too good.
•Desired logo size is 386 wide x 177 high.
Include the title "Alberton Apostolic Pentecostal Church" or "AAPC"
- Nothing important to put here, just be creative, but keep it fairly simple. I'm not looking for a fancy abstract design.

On being criticized for decisions made in editing a poetry anthology
"My anthology continues to sell, & the critics get more & more angry. When I excluded Wilfred Owen, whom I consider unworthy of the poets' corner of a country newspaper, I did not know I was excluding a revered sandwich-board Man of the revolution & that some body has put his worst & most famous poem in a glass-case in the British Museum - however if I had known it I would have excluded him just the same. He is all blood, dirt & sucked sugar stick (look at the selection in Faber's Anthology-- he calls poets 'bards,' a girl a 'maid,' & talks about 'Titanic wars'). There is every excuse for him but none for those who like him. . . ."
-- W.B. Yeats, from a letter of December 26, 1936 to Dorothy Wellesley

I read anthologies only to see who's slighted my favorites this time.
Errata: Reads "I read" and "my," should read "Everyone reads" and "his or her"

This is classic. You can't write good prose and fill it up with the type of lower middle class detritus that Yeats cites. But a good poem is anything a good poet wants it to be, which is why Frost's Stopping by the Woods, nothing but undergraduate rhymes and doggerel, is a good poem.

Brooks, Mel
Mel Brooks, 1927–, American film director, writer, actor, and producer, b. New York City as Melvin Kaminsky. His earliest work was in television, notably as a gag writer for Sid Caesar's
"Your Show of Shows"
(1950–54). He also scored a hit with a 1964 comedy recording, in which he played an irascible, Yiddish-accented 2,000-year-old man. Turning to film, he wrote and directed The Producers (1968), a comic masterpiece of uproarious bad taste. His other hit comedies are usually wild parodies that mix satire with slapstick; they include Blazing Saddles (1974), a spoof of Western movies; Young Frankenstein (1975), a Brooksian take on the horror genre, and High Anxiety (1977), a comic version of Alfred Hitchcock's spine-tinglers. Among his later movies, which have been less successful with the public, are To Be or Not To Be (1983), Life Stinks (1991), and Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993). Brooks turned to the stage in 2001, adapting his first film hit, The Producers, into a smash hit, Tony-winning Broadway musical (film, 2005).
See biography by J. R. Parish (2007); N. Smurthwaite and P. Gelder, Mel Brooks and the Spoof Movie (1982); M. Yakowar, In Method Madness: The Comic Art of Mel Brooks (1982); N. Sinyard, The Films of Mel Brooks (1987).

Walk-On Film is More About Nebraskas Culture Than Football
Randy York's N-sider
To "Respond to Randy" click on the link below and choose "Randy York's N-Sider" under "Area of Interest" on the new screen. Please include your name and hometown and share your thoughts about Nebraska walk-ons or Joel Geyer's film on the edge that Husker walk-ons provide. Your ideas may be published at the end of this column.
Nebraska has the most successful walk-on program in the history of college football, and a certain film producer has a pretty good idea of why it's flourished for nearly half a century.
After 14 months in his latest labor of love, Joel Geyer is convinced that Nebraska's unparalleled success with walk-on football players reflects the heart of this state's unique culture.
That's why fans are going to love "Walk-Ons: Huskers' Edge", the Geyer-produced film that will make its debut on Tuesday, Aug. 4, at 7 p.m. (CDT) on NET Television. The story that chronicles the tradition of the Huskers' fabled walk-on program also will be shown at 8 p.m. Thursday and at 6:30 p.m. Sunday on NET Television.
A producer, director and award-winning writer for national PBS documentaries for two decades, Geyer has a soft spot in his heart for this one.
"Nebraska has to be one of the most connected cultures in the world," said the NET's documentary unit senior producer, who has worked in Africa, Asia and Australia as well as in New York and California.
"Every place has its own special qualities, but Nebraska is just better connected than other places I've lived or worked," Geyer said. "Nebraskans seem to have stronger families, closer communities and absolutely unbelievable ties to their home state. I'm not saying those same things wouldn't be true without football, but somehow football turbo-charges Nebraska's incredible sense of connection, and the walk-ons are definitely the bond that brings it all together."
Geyer knows how to get to the root of things. He did it when he produced two award-winning documentaries on Willa Cather and when three more of his films were distributed nationally – "Coach Osborne – More Than Winning", the "Last of the One-Room Schools" and "In Search of the Oregon Trail."
For his film on walk-ons, Geyer was in search of a fundamental truth that makes Nebraska football what it is today.
It All Goes Back to Nebraska's Culture, Values
In a nutshell, "It all goes back to our culture and our values," said Geyer, an Indiana native who considers himself a bit of an adopted son himself.
"People joke about Nebraska football being a religion, but I've learned it really is a form of spirituality," he said. "When I studied Willa Cather and one-room schools in many different ways, they were also about communities that were strong, close and well connected. Nebraska football brings this state together even more, and the walk-ons celebrate the best of our values . . . perseverance, hard work and honesty."
Geyer uses some vintage footage of young, unidentified boys playing football in the backyard, dreaming perhaps that they, too, might someday don a red jersey with a familiar voice calling their name on the way to the end zone.
Classic emotion squeezed out of filmmaker ingenuity creates cinematic magic.
There is no question that one of the best, purest moments in the film is the kick that defined Nebraska's 2009 season and program – a snap from senior walk-on center T.J. O'Leary, a hold by senior walk-on Jake Wesch and a 57-yard field goal from the right foot of sophomore walk-on Alex Henery, who is probably in line to earn a scholarship this fall as the pre-season All-Big 12 kicker.
"It's been 14 months from the time I first talked to Tom Osborne and Bo Pelini about doing this film to the time we first showed it last week in Norfolk and Omaha," Geyer said. "Normally, programs don't take that long, but we didn't know what the story was going to be and what kind of characters would emerge. That 57-yard field goal against Colorado set the stage for the Gator Bowl win over Clemson."
In the end, the season boiled down to "a classic example of three walk-ons having the focus, passion and desire to help Nebraska do something great," Geyer said. "It's fascinating that very few fans had even heard of T.J. O'Leary or Jake Wesch before that moment. And, of course, Alex Henery hadn't even talked to a coach before he decided to walk on. He was going to go to Creighton to be a soccer player."
Without the Kick, Film Might Have Lost Its Luster
Geyer can only imagine what the film and the season would have been like without that record field goal. Even national championship flashbacks would not be nearly as impactful in this film if they didn't have the context of such a favorable finish to Bo Pelini's first season as head coach.
Fans will see Geyer's focus on Jeff Makovicka and Joel Makovicka as masterful. Where else but Nebraska can two brothers walk on from a tiny town of 350 and march straight into the hearts of Husker fans everywhere? The Brainard, Neb., products each ended up lettering four years at Nebraska – Jeff in 1992-93-94-95 and Joel in 1995-96-97-98. Remarkably, Nebraska was almost untouchable while they were in Lincoln, and their smash-mouth style of play epitomizes why the Huskers were so dominant.
Still, the Mackovickas are merely representative of hundreds of other Husker hopefuls who were willing to turn down scholarships elsewhere just so they could walk on, dare to dream and have the chance to play for the team with the best record in college football over the last 40 years.
Geyer's favorite story is Langston Coleman, the first modern-day Husker walk-on, who used one of those incredible Nebraska connections in Washington, D.C., to hitch-hike his way and even ride the train rails for a chance to play for Bob Devaney. Wisconsin Athletic Director Barry Alvarez was a teammate with Coleman, and he loves telling the stories about how Coleman went from the sidelines to a star player.
"The Langston Coleman story is an inspirational part of the program," Geyer said. "One of the reasons I love it is because he came to Nebraska when Tom Osborne was a graduate assistant coach working on his doctorate degree and how that influenced his own decision to earn a doctorate degree. Clear back in the 1960s, Coach Osborne was leading players where they never thought they could go. It didn't end up in the film, but Coach Osborne hosted Langston Coleman in his suite for the Kansas game last year, and you could see the mutual respect they had for each other."
Every Husker Walk-On Story Like the Film 'Rudy'
Geyer would never compare this film to the one he did with Osborne. "I loved doing Husker Century with Coach Osborne," he said. "This one is different, and we came at it in a different way. In many respects, all Nebraska walk-on stories are like the film "Rudy", where someone from a small town works hard and perseveres to make his own dream come true, and who doesn't love a classic American success story?"
That's what Geyer wants people to take away from this film . . . "that dreams can come true, especially if you keep working hard enough and are disciplined enough to never give up," he said. "Tom Osborne always said that you can't control the outcome, but you can control your own effort, and to me, that's the lesson of Nebraska football and the legacy of walk-ons . . . they're players who do everything humanly possible to achieve their dream."
At Nebraska, the walk-on process works because it comes from two decidedly different places – from the top down and from the bottom up.
"Nebraska coaches have the leadership and the power to recognize the unique treasure and the incredible work ethic of student-athletes who come here from rural areas," Geyer said. "I think this film proves that once you nurture the inherent culture of your state, young men will come here with dreams and imagination and powerful passion to take this program to a level that almost defies logic."
Voices from Husker Nation
"We agree that the walk-on program is Nebraska football at its best. Our son, Sam, would never have been on the team in 2002 and 2003 were it not for the walk-on program. We wish we could see the NET movie, but here in Illinois, we don't know if it will be broadcast. Love to stay in touch with our favorite team via Huskers.com." Knight and Susan Wells, Bloomington, Ill.
"I think it is outstanding that someone has done a video on the time honored and wonderful walk-on tradition for the Huskers. It has been so important for the program and has produced so many good players over the years. We are all happy that Coach Osborne is in charge of the program and helping us to get back on the road to dominating again!" Bryan Rauch

Ward Churchill will take his free-speech case against the University of Colorado to the state Supreme Court next week.
Oral arguments in the appeal of the fired CU professor's lawsuit against the university are scheduled for June 7, according to court records.
The Colorado Supreme Court announced in 2011 that it would hear Churchill's appeal, including a key argument about the quasi-judicial immunity doctrine that Churchill and his attorneys have challenged, arguing it threatens academic freedom and tenure at universities.
In addition to reviewing whether granting CU's Board of Regents quasi-judicial immunity comports with federal law, the Supreme Court will consider whether CU violated Churchill's First Amendment rights and whether Churchill can be given back his job as an ethnic studies professor -- which attorney David Lane said Churchill still wants.
"Our hope is that the Colorado Supreme Court writes an opinion that rights this injustice that has occurred," Lane said Tuesday.
CU's regents voted 8-1 to fire Churchill nearly five years ago after the university said he had committed repeated academic fraud in his scholarship.
Churchill then sued the school, claiming that the university really fired him over a controversial 9/11 essay he had written years earlier. In that essay, Churchill called victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks "little Eichmanns" -- a reference to an architect of the Holocaust.
A three-judge panel with the Colorado Court of Appeals in November 2011 upheld a district court judge's decision to deny giving Churchill his job back. The appeals court ruled that former Denver Chief District Judge Larry Naves was right to rule in favor of the university.
"We believe that Judge Naves and the lower courts were correct in their ruling and hope the Supreme Court sees it the same way," CU spokesman Ken McConnellogue said Tuesday, adding, "We will be as prepared as possible, because you never know how a court is going to rule."
But Lane said he hopes the Supreme Court overturns the previous ruling. A Denver jury initially found that CU unlawfully fired Churchill for exercising his right to free speech, but only awarded him $1 in damages. After considering the jury's ruling, Naves declined to give Churchill his job back or award any further compensation.
"They stole the verdict from the jury," Lane said. "A judge gave it to CU after a jury said Churchill had won."
Representatives from several groups, including the ACLU, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, American Council on Education and Association of American Universities, are also listed as amicus curiae, meaning they can provide written testimony in the case.

VeriSign Inc.'s VRSN, +0.77% fourth-quarter earnings climbed 96% as the Internet-domain-name company revenue and margins strengthened and as special items boosted bottom-line results.
The company has now posted double-digit revenue gains and higher income for seven consecutive quarters. VeriSign has spent the past few years shedding several ancillary Internet-related businesses, making it almost totally dependent on the mainstay Internet domain operation.
Regulators renewed VeriSign's status as the world's biggest Internet registry operator in November but constrained its ability to raise prices. By renewing the company's authorization, the U.S. Department of Commerce allowed VeriSign to continue to charge for its service of registering domain names using the ubiquitous .com suffix, affirming the company's main source of revenue through Nov. 30, 2018. However, the declaration ended a plan that would have allowed the company four automatic price increases of up to 7% during the term.
Instead, VeriSign must ask for Commerce Department permission if it wants to raise prices to cover extraordinary costs from security or stability threats. The company also can ask for price increases justified by new consensus policies created by the broader Internet community.
VeriSign's domain-name business--which operates the registry for .com, .net and other domains--is based on a contract from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, overseen by the U.S. Commerce Department.
For the latest period, VeriSign reported a profit of $105.6 million, or 65 cents a share, up from $53.8 million, or 34 cents a share, a year earlier. The latest period included pre-tax benefits of $13.6 million primarily related to reimbursements of previously incurred litigation and defense costs as well as $5.5 million gain related to a change in the estimated bonus payout, while the year-ago period included a $4 million non-recurring expense.
Excluding stock-based compensation, restructuring-related costs and other special items, per-share earnings rose to 59 cents from 40 cents. Revenue climbed 13% to $230.2 million.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters most recently projected earnings of 51 cents a share and revenue of $229 million.
Operating margin widened to 58.8% from 45.6%. Total costs and expenses fell 14%.
Shares closed at $39.99 and were unchanged after hours. Through the close, the stock is off 14% over the past three months.

"You tell me who will win the election this year and I will tell you what further emission rules might occur past 2010." -Jim Kelly, president, Cummins Engine Group
One of the best things about attending the Mid America Trucking Show every year is that you get both some high-level perspective from the executives at major manufacturers and suppliers about what's going on, along with the view from the trenches, from fleets and drivers on the front lines of the freight business.
(A view of the show floor at Mid America.)
For example, Jim Kelly's quote above gets right to the heart of any and all future discussions about emission regulations at the national level. Will there be more after 2010? What will such regulations address in trucking - retrofits for older equipment? Will the stricter rules being promulgated by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and various California ports be extended to the rest of the country? That all depends on who wins the Presidential election in November. Needless to say, trucking's got a lot at stake where emissions are concerned in this increasingly bitter race for the White House.
(The lovely Ali Hall highlighted all the new safety technologies and other features available on Freightliner's trucks.)
Fuel prices, however, proved to be topic number one at the show. Fleets, drivers, and suppliers alike all expressed tremendous frustration and concern about the high cost of diesel fuel these days - up over $4 a gallon in 17 states now.
"The price of fuel is killing me," Sean McEndree told me; a driver I'm very lucky to know. Invited to Mid America to show off his "Fallen Heroes 2" tractor - a one-of-a-kind truck designed to honor all the servicemen and women killed in Iraq and Afghanistan - McEndree rued an opportunity to sell his truck earlier this year for a cool $175,000. "I wish I'd done it now, but I didn't - I didn't want to go through building another one, which I would have," he said.
(The special mosaic for "Fallen Heroes 2" was created by none other than Ryan "Ryno" Templeton, the artist-in-residence for the Chrome Shop Mafia.)
One good thing about McEndree - a severely wounded veteran of the Iraq campaign - is that he looks good and healthy and that his family is doing well. Needless to say, I hope he survives the rough patch the trucking industry finds itself in right now.
Despite the woes trucking faces from high fuel process and sluggish freight, everyone wasn't completely in the dumps. I visited with Dale Corum, general manager at truckload carrier Mercer Transportation, and he says they're starting to see capacity tighten up a bit: to the point where some shippers are willingly paying higher fuel surcharges to get their freight moved. (More on that in a posting later this week - Mercer's got a lot of interesting tales to tell).
(Even FleetOwner's hardy staffers needed to sit down for a spell and rest their weary feet at Mid America.)
Though there wasn't a lot of truly "new" stuff revealed at the show - regardless of what the various PR machines told us - two new truck models did make an appearance. Though International had already revealed its new and very unique "LoneStar" class 8 tractor model at the Chicago Auto Show in February, the truck got a full-fledged rock star roll out at Mid America, as it's a truck aimed squarely at the owner-operator segment.
(Drivers either loved or loathed International's new "LoneStar" tractor -- a truck that many thought resembled the famous car used in ZZ Top's 'Sharp Dressed Man' music video from the 1980s.)
Mack got into the act, too, with its new Titan class 8 tractor for the heavy-haul segment: unveiled by the dude who does all the announcing for the Ultimate Fighting Championship program on cable TV (talk about an over the top event).
And, of course, it wouldn't be Mid America without the "state fair" atmosphere. Western Star, for example, hired a team of ice sculptures to work in full view of the gathered public. International's hospitality tent out behind the show truck parking lot included a real tattoo artist's booth (and business proved brisk for them).
(Ice sculpture making proved a hit with the Mid America crowd.)
Mid America 2008 proved to an interesting and fast paced show as usual. Now I just need to catch up on my sleep.

Somehow I am working as a line cook during brunch at the Slanted Door.
The printer start chattering away and foot upon foot of tickets starts rolling in: large parties of people, huge numbers of entrees, items that are unfamiliar.
I ask my coworkers about the bizarre items on the tickets and they don't really know.
Erik Adkins appears from somewhere and tells me, don't pay any attention to the food, you just have to pick out the drinks.
I try to sort through the feet of orders, looking for drinks, but still, the items are unfamiliar.
"Where's the Whey for this drink?" I ask, "I can't find it in the reach in."
He says, "Who ordered that drink? It's been 86'd."
Funny. It has been over 15 years since I worked as a brunch line cook, yet it is still the touchstone for my unconscious mind to express fear and anxiety.

Next, after school, Katie, Jeremy and Ginny were all walking home together. Katie decided to make a club with them. They were trying to think of one. Then Katie got an idea that they could have a cooking club. Everyone of their friends would be asked to join except Suzanne and Jessica. The club would make great food.
Lastly, the next day Katie was at school and everybody hated Suzanne. They all went to the modeling show and thought Suzanne was ugly and too full of herself. Katie stood up for Suzanne and ignored everyone else at luchtime. Suzanne heard what Katie did for her, and they sat together. They became friends and played together. They were both very happy.
I would not have changed anything in the story because it is marvelous just the way it is. My favorite part of the story is when Suzanne and Katie become friends again. My favorite character is Katie because she is sweet, kind and caring of other people. My least favorite character is Suzanne because she hurt Katie's feelings very badly and betrayed her.
This story relates to my life with the characters getting in fights with friends and then liking each other all over again. I think others should read this story because it is very good and helps you with friend troubles.

MORRIS – Double your pleasure, double your fun is not only an old advertisement for a brand of chewing gum. It also applies to Saturday night's tenth annual Carter/Anderson Classic at Grundy County Speedway in which twin 36-lap features were held for the STARS National Midgets. Certainly not all the drivers and teams experienced pleasure and fun in both of the features, but the fans in the grandstands certainly did get a mint of a show. There was plenty of exciting racing, highlighted by 240 laps of green flag racing throughout the evening's event.
In the first feature, the race for Austin Prock began nearly identical as it did for him in the STARS season opener two weeks ago. Prock, starting seventh in his Tony Stewart Racing/Sparco/Venolia/Calico/PPG Paints Mopar/Beast, used the high side to charge up to third place on the opening lap. After second place-running Nick Baran came to a stop on in turn two on the fourth lap, Prock inherited the second spot behind race leader Billy Hulbert.
On the lap four restart, Prock snookered Hulbert coming out of turn four and took the top spot on the inside as they both headed into turn one. On the twelfth lap, Brad Greenup was able to snag the second spot away from Hulbert and attempted to reel in Prock, who had gained nearly a half-straightaway advantage. A Travis Young spin with five laps to go erased the sizable lead built by Prock and put Greenup on Prock's tail for the final restart. While Prock was able to distance himself from the rest of the field, Jimmy Anderson made a terrific charge on the outside groove to earn third place at the checkered flag after passing Hulbert coming out of turn four on the final lap. Finishing fourth was Billy Hulbert, and Mario Clouser earned a fifth-place finish.
It was Prock, the 18-year-old native of Avon, Indiana, who took his second straight STARS National Midget victory and his fifth STARS victory in the last six series races dating back to the 2013 season. He was able to work his way up to the front of the field very quickly in the 36-lapper, but the fact that there was a second 36-lap feature coming up later in the night did weigh on his mind.
"I got up to the front pretty quick," Prock said. "From there on out, I just pretty much cruised and wanted to conserve my stuff."
In the second feature of the night, Prock was looking to continue his dominant run in the series as of late, but he had to do the deed starting from the ninth spot in the 14-car field. The other storyline of the night was seeing if Jimmy Anderson could finally break through and win the event named after his dad on Father's Day weekend.
As the green flag flew, Travis Young was able to take advantage of his outside front row starting spot to scoot out to a comfortable lead. While Young was cruising out in front, the action was getting busy behind him. Anderson had battled his way to second place from his fifth starting position while Prock had charged to the third spot. On lap 11, however, Prock and Anderson made contact with each other in turn four causing Anderson's car to spin to a stop on the front straightaway. Anderson was out of the race and very displeased, ultimately making a couple of animated gestures at Prock as he drove by under caution.
Because of the contact, it was determined by race officials that Prock would be penalized for the incident and sent to the tail of the field, essentially ending his bid for a third consecutive victory to start the season. It was Anderson, the three-time STARS National Midget champion, who suffered yet another heartbreak in this race he so badly wants to win for his family. Coming into this race, Anderson had finished in second place in five of the nine Carter/Anderson Classics. A third place finish in the first feature was a solid run, but still wasn't in the top spot where he desires to be.
For the last 25 laps of the feature, it was the Travis Young Show. Nobody else was able to challenge him as he was able to pull away for his first STARS victory of the season in his 3 Wide Life/BG Products/Indiana's Finest Wreckers/Big T's Auto Parts-sponsored Beast/Esslinger. Young was very pleased with how his car worked in the second feature as opposed to the first feature, where he struggled to an eleventh place finish after spinning out with five laps to go. Finishing behind Young were Tyler Trainor, Mario Clouser, Austin Prock and Billy Hulbert.
"The car was as close to perfect as I think we could get it," Young said. "I had to do a few small adjustments throughout the race to keep it good. I just drove it hard because I knew there were lots of fast guys behind me. We didn't start out good by any means, but we kept fighting and we ended up on top. That's what matters."
In other series action on the night, Pat Kelly and Greg Willis captured the twin features for the Classic Modifieds. Brian Tedeschi was able to sweep both of the INEX Legends features for a perfect evening of racing. Dallas Frueh made a last lap pass on Jaime Domski to earn the CSR Super Cup feature which was his fourth feature win in a row this season. Jordan Caskey took top honors in the Midwest Legacy Series cars.
The Short Track Auto Racing Series (STARS) will resume action this Saturday night for "Kids-a-Palooza" featuring the STARS National Midgets, Classic Modifieds, INEX Legends, CSR Mini Cups, and Allison Legacy Cars. Pit gates open up at 2 p.m. Grandstands open at 5 p.m., qualifying starts at 6 p.m. and the first race begins at 6:45. Adult admission is $12. Tickets for children 12 and younger are free as part of "Kids-a-Palooza" this week. The Grundy County Speedway is one mile north of I-80 on Rt. 47 in Morris, Illinois.

Forming Up Your Genealogy--Part 12 Spell Checking
An unfortunate by product of enabling protection is that it disables the spell checker along with several other items. The formal way around this is to add a macro. I'm going to give you the address of an MVP site that provides instructions for adding a macro (a set of instructions that Word completes automatically) that enables spell checking in a protected form: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/SpellcheckProtectDoc.htm.
MVP (Most Valued Professional Microsoft) is a group of Word users who are worse than I am about digging up details. When I'm really stuck, I check MVP to see if they have a suggestion to solve my problem. They frequently do. However, in this case, I think that the solution is worse than the problem.
Here's what I do. In the email to which I attach the form I include instructions. I explain that the creation of the form disables the spell checker and I ask the person filling the form to write their notes in a separate document, spell check it there, and then copy the notes and paste them in the Notes page form field.
This method isn't as elegant or seamless as enabling the spell checker; however, it has a few advantages. First, I don't have to deal with a macro (VBA programming!). They can be quirky and do odd things no matter how careful you are when you construct them. Second, they can cause messages to appear that will confuse and frighten many an end-user of your form. Third, macros are a quick way to spread viruses. When I get a document from someone I don't know and Word asks me if I want to enable macros, I say, "Hell no!"
So there you have my opinion and the workaround I use. We'll continue to look at forms and the many things you might want to consider using them for or not and why not.

Ohio on cars ... of which have been roundly ... denounced as untrue ... and Manda ads in Pennsylvania that go back to the discredited welfare ... of arguments of the summer ... so I you know I would watch for these kinds of ... attention and the ... desperation on the other side I think they recognize where they are ... and they know it's not good enough ... it's you know the October surprise I guess it was that this year was a super storm Sandy ... what you think its impact is going to be ultimately ... it's hard to measure Jerry and I think before I answer that I should note that there are bigger things ... of its big relative to that storm fifty people was the lives ... of fifty billion dollars and a ... loss of property ... it's a terrible it's a terrible disaster ... and so you know it's it's it's a low crested engage in that ... kind of political calculation and I really don't know ... of ... of ... how that all men suffer when I do know is that it probably ... of push politics aside ... for many voters in this country who were ... focused on the ... up on the of the storm and its impacts and so ... in a sense it took three days ... off the board in the final week of the campaign ... as it had an impact on early voting in any states that are really important to you guys ... no I mean the mode of the states that were in the path of the storm ... are not big early voting states that touched on the eastern Ohio ... of but ... the impacts don't seem to be ... of great there we continue to be ... of very very ... excited about what we see in early voting ... in states where there is ... heavy early voting in Florida and Ohio ... and ... certainly in Nevada and Iowa ... and Colorado ... you know the early returns are are very very encouraging for us with ... hitting and exceeding our targets ... and we believe we're going to Election Day and many of those states ... with a very very strongly ... Nevada for example ... in seventy percent will voted by election day ... we can really go in there with a big lead in Iowa fifty percent ... forty five to fifty will of the vote a by election day ... we think we're going to go in ... with a big lead we we believe we getting about sixty percent of the early both its own where the ballots are ... coming from so ... of ... the storm itself ... it didn't disrupt ... of early voting to any great degree ... yes yes ... but you know and it is you know of the better than I the Romney people think they got some momentum ... about a month ago Jake Lee after that first debate ... they say he continues ... is it Euroview that remember Romney momentum has stopped at this point ... yes I would call it Fomento Jerry I don't think they have momentum now I don't think they've had for awhile that ... they've they've picked up some ... support after the first debate ... they largely pick up those Republican leaning independents who would ... of were very ... doubtful about Governor Romney they got back those voters will easy to ... assume that they would this race is exactly the race ... that we've prepared for when you and I've had many discussions ... about the nature of this race and um and that it was going to be close ... of but ... as I said the fundamentals are very good for us ... even up in these very close to its you look at these undecided voters ... and that they have a more favorable ... opinion of the present them into on of Governor Romney ... so this notion that there's can be some big wave that began with Governor Romney ... isn't supported by the data ... are ... assumptions are very much focused ... up ... or drawn from the data that we see ... there seems to be in this ... kind of of mystical faith that the ... it's all going to come together in the end and I think they're going to be ... disappointed ... I feel we're the ones who are in a strong position ... going into this final week ... Steve Noble in that Daddy you talk to that day or the things that trouble some Democrats is the president doesn't seem to be able to get to or above that magic fifty percent mark either nationally or in most of the ... battleground states is that something you need to worry about at this stage ... oh well first mom not sure that that's true use of a bunch of polls come out this morning a ... Quinnipiac ... in Ohio have them at the ... fifty I believe we were to be up and in Florida and then pulled ... up and down ... you know I think that to ... I think that we're hitting the marks we need to hear ... and ... again ... of you in almost all these posts were were in the you know forty nine to fifty one ... range in these ... and many of these battleground states ... and ... there's nothing that would suggest that ... all the rest of the remaining boat and there's not that much of it ... will adore the Governor Romney I don't believe that's can happen so ... I'm not so overly concerned about that at all ... get ... it in a bit less than that for just a second you know you've been around these campaigns a long time I have also ... um ... is this a surprising about this year and this campaign is he didn't anticipate ... well they're always say you know the one thing that you learn when you ... have been around campus for a long time is to ... anticipate the unanticipated ... and you know we've seen developments in this campaign and certainly the storm ... Twitter account has one of those that you just couldn't ... of ... you couldn't predict ... and so you know what you do is a campaign is ... up you try and prepare for those things you can prepare for ... and while those out ... and and um ... you know and then you have to be agile and dealing with the things that come up ... that is ... that you don't ... economy I can say ... of ... there some surprising elements two ... of the strategy that they've employed ... of ... that I found surprising this week ... um you know I thought it was surprising that they would go back to the auto issue ... in Ohio and try and rewrite history this laid the game ... and ... re invigorate that whole debate ... about how Romney ... said let Detroit go bankrupt and what his position was on the bailout ... and then ... to you know kind of construct this apocryphal notion that ... of jobs would be shipped from Ohio to China ... of which the ... car companies ... you know hit very very hard ... that was surprising to me but it does suggest ... that said there is a sense of desperation there they know where they are in Ohio ... and they felt that they have to try and diffuse what is a very strong argument for the present one in eight ... auto jobs ... in ... one of many jobs in Ohio ... a flow from the auto industry ... so the president's actions there are very well regarded ... and so they obviously felt they had to act but that was one that I would have predicted ... yes you know what are the other critiques of of of of you were approached and then you get into lakes the table with ... an agenda for a second term agenda ... did you ... did you adjust the piano was that that that that play out the way you'd know isn't just that ... the the agenda that ... we ... center in printed form two ... four five million voters was on our website for ... some time and that the agenda the president's been talking about ... throughout this campaign it has to do with how we ... build the best education system in the world how we ... build up an energy ... mix for the future that allows us to control our own energy and dominate the ... energy sources of the future goes to how we deal with the deficit ... you know in a balanced way of you know these are things that we've been talking about ... throughout the campaign but we thought at the end ... when there were this the small group of ... undecided voters they would be ... a good thing to put in their hands of a printed ... version of this era ... of this plan so they can see and compare it ... to Governor Romney's and Governor Romney says ... don't just to extend the car ... analogy when you with open but there's nothing there but the tax cut for the wealthy ... and ... anti regulation of Wall Street neither of which ... is a prescription for the kind of economy we need ... oh we saw that in the last decade ... there's finally a and obviously most importantly where Stanek prickly UN on TV this week and said that he had met Romney wins Pennsylvania Minnesota where Michigan you will go on TV in shape your moustache the correct ... that is absolutely correct and I know as someone who has the facial hair yourself ... you can appreciate what a ... major wager that was ... I've had this to us that for forty years so it is you can take as an absolute sign of confidence ... that we're going to carry those states ... write in I will place your that I will not shave my facial hair no matter what happens to the senators that could free of ... the boys ... I was I should say sometime in the in a very busy stretch run that David ... O Saatchi on the other side ... with for two to think ... up next we'll talk to the Romney campaign's political director for the view from that side of the divide ... Wall Street Journal I think too much more intimate walk ... the new digital network from the Wall Street Journal it's really a collection of channels are package from where ... featuring the daily grind of the regional programs live in on today ... no one has done anything like it ... welcome back to DC bureau ... I'm joined now by rich piece in the national political director from the Romney campaign in a very busy guy these days is with us from the debt campaign headquarters in Boston that's thanks for taking time for us ... Teradyne for having me ... the lesson was not just looking around a nap a little bit you know when you look at this race on the outside their looks is if ... you guys are basically even with the president maybe a little ahead in national polls ... but not quite there is to go around the swing state polls not quite caught up yet ... is the crux of perception that you see it if only are our what's going on out there ... but we don't we don't pay a lot of attention the whole of inaction or the people I know that there's a lot of drama ... a lot of discussion about the polls and was up and down ... I we like where we are right now people me a year ago that ... we would be Ed within the margin of error of not ... apply in in in states tighten other states that when an incumbent president has raised over billion dollars that I would take that aren't yet that's what we find ourselves today ... what was said about that and I aint and eleven swing states that are there well you wear where you think you're even or ahead which are the most important ones to you to spend money and topping candidate tiny and the last four or five days the faces here ... they bring up a great point that you're talking nineteen eleven target states the map and expanded sent to ... us at the convention when historically the map tends to contract ... I and yet we are playing in the high and deep blue states like Pennsylvania ... I'd like to ... Michigan The and that and ... in Minnesota ... I like the way that that were were playing at were playing deep in their territory but ... if we were campaigning in Idaho I think that the narrative might view of the firm in yet here we are ... campaigning and you know in a lot of states that the ... the present Obama has won the Democrats went for a long time but I think if you go around the map ... but without a very strong effort in Florida ... and the Democrats are coming up woefully short on on early naps he they need to have a much bigger lead going into election day ... I he's the in the three or four hundred thousand range right now it's it's about fifty thousand ... US on election day we will be that we will turn out a significant that ... I'm not a Republican voters for for Governor Romney Commerce mine and and ... and and Florida will last ... quarter will be good State Forest ... North Carolina and I think is a has moved off the map for them President Obama the been there since the convention ... I in the U C D and I didn't get nearly the same number of ... early boats as they get into thousandeight ... we close that gap ... considerably by well over a hundred thousand votes ... the only one North Carolina by fourteen thousand in into thousandeight so ... of that they've clearly move North Carolina off the map as well ... Virginia can be a very close to gather the every so that all along but I like guy like how things are shaping up there ... the Obama defense cuts or are hurting and I drastically down into ... the Norfolk Hampton roads area when in the present Obama is defense cuts will come hundred and thirty six thousand jobs on the Commonwealth ... other resonates pretty well and stay ... in and we owe to the southwest part of the state in coal country ... I didn't wear one in one of the Stuart margins down there ... and then in Northern Virginia were not were in and do very well in northern region and whether it's lavender Prince William and in in in Fairfax County so ... I would we we look at the Virginian in a very good light of the absentee and early numbers that ... I continue to be strong in the counties that they John McCain performed and ... they're underperforming in counties that that the Brock Obama won in two thousand and eight ... so Virginia's as it is very exciting place force ... New Hampshire when you look and ensure that they had a day when one Hampshire since two thousand ... they they were up on Boston TV plot a Boston radio ... of what we were up on ... in Manchester ... on the braces tightened up considerably were now on the phone TV significantly there ... I think the New Hampshire is the isthe John ball most of New Hampshire will vote ... of ninety percent of New Hampshire will vote on election day so ... I like guy like are our chances in him to swell ... he just aam Pennsylvania come on the map the Sunday the Obama campaign go up there ... because they saw the same thing we did that that state is slipping away from them ... whether it's on the energy issues out west or or ... that that Colin and in the southwest of natural gas ... and it's all about the above energy in the economy there ... in jobs are responding ... but let's talk about all I which is the one everybody assesses on ... Gupta ... all Ohio again just ideas as long Island ... Ohio jumble right now ... Ohio is the isthe is that ideas and his close is the isthe state can be ... but again when you talk about that when when the Obama campaign like to talk about the ground game ... that simple over the top ... you look around at all of the state's ... if their ground game was what they say it was they wouldn't be underperforming or two thousand and eight numbers in the early and absentee ... it's the same story in Ohio ... they are not hitting the numbers that they need to hear in Cuyahoga and Franklin Hamilton counties ... along the Mahoney valid are nowhere near where they need to be in Berlin absentee ... so again this market Obama ground game is nothing more than that this point ... so I'm I like the way that that that Ohio shaping up it's going to turn into a turnout ... of battle ... but again you have to have the power of ideas the power of the message ... Governor Romney is talking about jobs you talking about real recovery about big things and you've got the the the Obama campaign out there talking about ... big bird so as as the asthe camping goes into the final days ... the ground operation is important for the power of the message and in and and and and a strong campaign is is even more important us with Governor Romney I ... think are sometimes so ... as we go until Election Day I I feel like they are our operation or ground operation ... I will perform intensely levels on our side but most of portly during this is a very key point in this is something that that ... I mean we get David Axelrod or greenish it is my especially this ... is their losing independence in Ohio ... and the Indy in Iraq to upholstery any ... any political person will tell you that if you are winning on Independence Ohio ... under winning Ohio ... Governor Romney and Congressman or caring independence in Ohio and we feel very strongly that that will put it in a position ... to win Ohio it the ended the day ... I you know in in medicine are the X factor a lot of places but let me ask about once they finally out west Nevada are you guys stole the game in Nevada ... um by Mike are absolutely we're in the game in fact again ... you've heard my IIa my standard or ... refrain year they're underperforming moreover performing ... they need to be about eighty thousand votes ahead in Clark County going into election day ... they're not can it be anywhere near that ... in two thousand a wash of counting we never won a day of early voting and wash the county ... we've now one of several days in row ... of early voting which cannot happen once into thousandeight ... so the end of this if this vaunted Obama ground operation they've been talking about ... others can carry them over the top ... is underperforming and their two thousandeight so ... I feel very good about Nevada ... so just file question risk what's the X factor that you're gonna watch the last few days would you pay ... attention to that maybe we're not paying enough attention to ... well look I think you're starting to see states like Pennsylvania Minnesota get very interesting ... again these are states that haven't seen a lot of advertising they saw that the debate said you know the the the the overwhelming majority of people feel that the Governor Romney won the first debate ... did well in the next two they they they saw him in an unfiltered way ... up through the filter of of of of hundred million dollars worth of attack and so ... I think you see the map spreading out to continue to spread ... I and and east the state certainly close going down to the wire ... but that would govern Iranian Karsten Ryan's messages can carry the day ... and a in order when the where when Harshman Ryan and Governor Romney are going to be the next president vice president and it's a ... or Expedia exciting fish I don't think you get a lot of sleep in the next few days but thanks to take a few minutes now I will talk later ... here is getting cocky thinking ... next up will have a look that crucial unemployment rate heading into the final weekend and will see was super storm Sandy related to this race when we join the Wall Street Journal's editorial meeting in progress coming right out ... Street Journal I think too much ... and want ... the new digital network from the Wall Street Journal it's really a collection of channels are package from where ... featuring the daily grind of the regional programs live in on today ... no one has done anything like it ... I ... pretty obvious so long in this campaign is going to be about the economy in on this or not that the and were down to economic numbers and unemployment number they came out today which ... will strain the final weekend of leases pretty good for present a bomb ... threatening basically the labor of our report says the economy is getting that ... it's far from good seven point nine percent unemployment is high today yet but and there's a ... three and a half million people that work for forty or more and still stay there looking ... but critically in the tally they give each month of the number of jobs added ... hundred and seventy one thousand jobs added in October ... the rib eyes out the numbers for September ... and August ... so all in all it's clearly ... a plus for the president ... it doesn't it just makes it easier for him to ... make a convincing case that ... things are but I know but they're getting ... into that ... good as if I'd ever been to Nebraska for ten minutes ... though the number of up and ... cry all but one of the upper end of its all important are the deserving of a seven point eight with ten minutes or so miles from those levers that it currently has the ... right now it's official the performers worse than when ... Obama ran for any new pics the funny thing about the statements that the ... that both sides issue has ... become so quickly after the numbers to my ego they wrote them before they have no ego ... no right in relation to what the facts right and the whole thing really is that this point about whether reinforces our outcome predicts talking points ... because there aren't very many voters out there I think that would be affected by or reinforces her contradicts UNICEF notions that voters are ready to write that that's not the same from the Obama campaign was saying two weeks ago ... no data point is to change perceptions of the sport and that's certainly true this ... this is not about its that that data point this is ... about trendlines and what people ... think that someone is up or down the spot ... well one thing it's flat as wages so that people who are working ... are not really seeing an average much of the wage increase many of them are not keeping up with inflation ... but I think the fact that that these berries calls of consumer confidence which we have long trends are ... have been turning up ... is also suggests that in the summer consumers I ... would just write it because you don't see them that this this I ... was on the consumer side there's a slight ... listing of optimism ... and you can see how that ... can do anything but help ... for Greece in the same thing in the fall off ... Ohio State of Wisconsin ... Iowa Blues income confidence inching up ... also it's not a big one but general sense of articles economy things are getting better even when in the closet right track wrong track ... all of that that is the economy getting better to deal with the texture ... will be better next two years to win market ... he does I what if housing is maybe the The indicator that may have more resonance than it did the housing market seems affirmed up to the people think their houses worth a little bit more than they think they're worth a look at that one of ... the missing factor for three ... years for years really ... right I do think that in the end what matters most is who can beat the economics of a national scale but the economic state by state and ... and that's where you know all on employment if they so much about the state by state on housing but on unemployment ... Ohio's been doing better than other states so as to him who was ... I'm ... going along for the auto industry this is from that car sales are up they pay its workers that has to play the least of whom are all that is the story I will miss her quite a while at the end it is an argument about all of us who thought you know we're down argue though ... that ... the other on the other October surprise me that the October surprise was of course super storm Cnooc adopts a very slow ... um ... you know I don't know what effect it had exactly although it probably also at the least leading up to the file weakness and marginal net loss for the president for two reasons they ... you know he got Chris Christie begin the big bear I can say this guy's been a great job which can hurt ... it's it may have slowed the Romney momentum a little bit I must or the carries through all the election but I guess that's the best guess what ... yet it's hard to see this anyway you get seen this storm helping Romney in terms of his campaign strategy it slowed him down ... the kind of made him more of more marginal figure for three days from ... prison Obama was out there you know ... being commander in chief ... and ... ALM that that you had not only the Chris Christie embrace you had Mayor Bloomberg of New York coming out endorsing him ... I mean all in all your things that were put on the table that were good for Obama how how good we don't know everything's on the table ... that were ... not so great for running ... into a really interesting because he talked so much about climate change ... which has been in this edition is it yet ... and ... and it's hard not to think about climate change when you see those pictures of lower Manhattan underwater and clover basically ... tell us both candidates for not doing it right when it was last time you heard the words global warming or climate change it was like any of the debate moderators college vast ... knowledge ... in the end of this ended up one of our own election it's notable ... and ... its suburbs of Philadelphia and surrounding suburbs of difficulty turning up votes for Obama as core supporters ... in the bond is less than a foot of rain is going on this weekend instead of ... hail Mary Pass of sorts but ... there could be some depressed turnout in that area and an even for the better person injured the which is not really ... up for grabs but to be getting that makes it more likely than the one of these things were on when to let you know the ... names ... still the prices are likely to happen but um I think there's been another big numbers Democratic Network New York Connecticut New Jersey ... and a fall in the quarter by million votes are due to suppress the vote by that much and those with big blue states that happen but not ... now we are talking here about ... things that look marginally better for the president ... has reached the end of the changes the fact ... that the Romney people knew the are confident the baby thing ... when they think momentum continues to move into a correction that people who happen to side at this point ... that the gonna vote for Brock Obama has really decided that a vote against him to have admitted that yet ... and that there's going to be a big boo at the end into the run up ... over with this ... and you start doing the bus attrition where both of these cars are also are affected at least forty percent of native and forty eight point five ... it's going to be incredibly part of their as the Suns ... all that on the promise of that this could be less but that ... checks from various Romney don't like ... she was happening ... um and I really think that could still ... benefit if it isn't until the twenty when the financial hole in what is the evidence that the sea and in ... a legitimate reason doesn't do think the trendlines are going away and isn't that the possibility of what the falling out of support among traditional working class support from ... the law for Obama could live like Pennsylvania was the CIA they see Obama see you ... in in in in this is true that ... he's never really been into the crack above that forty seven forty eight percent level even in swing states that the speaking with some exceptions but that ... that represents not for for the president going into the final weekend but it's the absolute ceiling thinking about that and therefore everything it must be ... about to move her to ... well except at the the the the Obama people look of the polls and they see something they see ... opportunity in the fact that ... they're so they're in ... there we'd over Romney is bigger among registered voters and then when the pollsters ... try to pull out and just focus on the most likely voters his is smaller ... and you know in the train there it that's that's when to get up the Botein goes to work and ... I'll call the whole experience this year has given me a grade education and healthy skepticism of ... polling and we will find out pretty soon it was right where it is this this idea figure who wish to show up is ... that the four pulling is an art ... science and he'll be carrying on from the Obama campaign is ... our polls ... everybody's pulls up on the camp ... likely Obama voters in the sense that ... you talk to young voters need someone to show off but the history says they are they do show up more than eight the ... year to be in the inflection point ... and you missing a lot of Hispanic votes ... and so therefore they're a lot of of ... of people who were looking for Obama voters in the and for showing up as likely voters in Apple's ... announcement that it isn't an overly dissonant and for ... the NoWait eighteen percent of all of all the voters were under thirty ... mins funneling of likely voters a six percent of us but so far but I'll last ... it was time to roll out the old cliche the only poll that matters when that happens on Tuesday night ... exactly so what's the closing argument for each beach gotten this ... last week ... well you know ... they're they're both trying I think they both will be trying to talk about the future and get a little bit away from the attack on each other that doesn't feel like closing argument ... and and what Romney has been saying and how we will continue to focus on is that we can't afford ... four more years like the four years because ... an Obama has to convince people that you know we can simply won't do you know Obama is kind of ... talking about ... I mean to the extent that Obama is backward looking piece despising we don't want it we can afford to return ... to the top oligopoly basically when the third of ... the group along with ... me and if you let Romney ... he'll get ... the call the seeds of the crisis because it's broken in the first place ... by the way I noticed in his closing argument to say that CNN.com has ... been to go play ... what will the president right here in Seattle ... close ... the chances of winning in America that's probably growing at this point in nineteen eighty four was on a morning in America ... he he do that to ... make them feel that way right now it's still pretty dark and there are on the Romney people telling me last year is that you look back at the speech that he did Romney different options and is in part to prop ... up ... the will be his closing argument in and it's in anything the first thing you mention thank you speeches ... no entrance of a store yet and they have been so meticulous about this you know we talk about all that's disgusting summer and he did a bit of suspense of last several ... weeks where he became a sumptuous than that of all his clothing argument for but I'm the one to reach across the goal ... of one of the change of tone in Washington first of all with the little bubble was four years ... it's been okay so final pressure final show before the election not to ask you to predict who's gonna win away to ... none of this knows that the worthless when it will be watching for on election night ... the key thing is that the weakness in ... traditional blue states and also ... offices recently weakness ... in the August bombing ... read this report on the doors of the Swiss franc from Romney is a sign that things are going to ... fall apart and Wisconsin all possible even in Pennsylvania that would be a game changer ... pulled off ... but the look and see what happens in Virginia New Hampshire because society east coast within a better sense for them and ... they're going big for Obama thinking ... that ends well for him going for Romney ... well and it gave it as a gift those us with East Coast outlines a lot of the most of the states are in the East Coast ... our politics is local another cliche of the week ... right now but yet they can use also be watching for the outcome in the Senate and House races and and those he sky Senate races are really can account for for a lot ... you know ... Virginia and Ohio Canal Kinetic it ... get Kinetic it ... um will be totally credentials and what ... is this just really you know if if the if ... it derided as an ... Ohio it's very hard to get from there ... and yet that the people know recently only if it's gonna be ... a decisive win for Obama in Ohio or to be so close will all be here three M ... S lawnmowers ... was yellow resigned ... hot out there watching the idea that the population of lawyers to increase in Florida ... but it's as they say it's better the election with that ... it's been fun to talk about ... best DC bureau for this week ...

Reviewed by Zach K. (age 10)
I thought this book was well written and very interesting. I think that it was well written because it gave lots of detail as it told the story, and it made you keep reading because there was always something that you wanted to figure out. It also didn't give away the resolution or tell you too much information. I think that it was very unique because I have read many books like it and it stood out. When I read the book it made me feel sad for Kara. My favorite part was when Kara snuck away from her house. It created suspense when she did.
I would recomend this book to any one that likes to follow other peoples lives. I would also recommend it to older kids because younger chidren might not follow the plot very well.

A look at the "new romanticism" inspired look I created for Oh You Pretty Things the other night. It was so hot out I'm surprised my brows didn't melt off. As usual I forgot to take photos until the end of the night so my lips look a little worn... It was one of those nights that its actually hotter outside the dance party than inside! I put a lot f my moms pieces to use in this including her blouse, earrings, and velvet jacket.
I'm wearing Sugarpill Tako shadow as well as Lime Crime Fly Dragon Fly (on my cheeks) and Lotus Noir from the Chinadoll palate. Lips are lined in Armour Femme Fatale gloss and filled in with Lime Crime Candy Apple Carousel Gloss. Brow's are finished in Ben Nye Aqua Glitter. I also used pastels to color the tips of my hair black.
Do you love my eighties face?
