As president visits state, Romney camp says Obama policies would cost NH jobs
Crowd of 3,800 welcomes president to Rochester
Obama, in Windham, berates Romney-Ryan ticket
As the President stumped in Rochester, Windham and Londonderry, Romney aides were reminding New Hampshire residents of statements the President made about Medicare three years ago.
"I just want to assure we're not talking about cutting Medicare benefits," the President said at Portsmouth High School in 2009.
But Romney aides said Obama would cut Medicare by $716 billion, which would raise costs to seniors while cutting benefits.
The Obama campaign has said the $716 billion reduction in Medicare consists of reductions in Medicare Advantage subsidies for insurance companies, an agreement with hospitals to reduce reimbursement rates, and other reimbursement rate changes that, the campaign asserts, will not reduce benefits.
Romney campaign staffers also pointed to a study they say shows that Obama's proposal to increase taxes on the wealthiest Americans would cost the state 3,400 jobs and decrease business output by $900 million.
That study, prepared for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other groups, says that Obama's plan to increase the top tax rate, tax dividends as ordinary income and reduce the favorable tax treatment for capital gains would provide less incentive for some businesses to reinvest in the economy.
Specifically, the Republican campaign says that under the Obama plan, businesses in which income "flows through" to the owner for taxation at the personal level would have less incentive to invest in growing their businesses.
Flow-through businesses include sole proprietorships, limited liability corporations and partnerships. The study says flow-through businesses employ 54 percent of Americans and pay 44 percent of taxes on business income.
The report was prepared by two economists with Ernst & Young, the nationwide accounting firm.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee flew to Massachusetts on Saturday for a pair of fundraising events: a cocktail party on Cape Cod followed by a dinner for donors of $50,000 or more.
Romney and running mate Paul Ryan, U.S. representative from Wisconsin, will be at St. Anselm College on Monday for Romney's 100th town hall event.

sc " Y ' U7S5 Jffarmmgrlal* An Official Newspaper Of The Incorporated Village of Farmingdale - S- rving Greater Farmingdale, Bethpage and Melville \ 10< On Newstands Or $ 4 yearly By mail Vol . 6 No. 33 Second Class Postage has been paid at Farmiagdale, N. Y. U735 Thursday, April 17', 1969 LIBRARY BOARD PRESSES FOR SEPARATE VOTE A test case proceeding, to determine whether a library board of trustees has the right to hold its own budget and library trustee vote instead of going through the channels of the school board, was taken Wednesday night at the Farmingdale Public Library Special Board meeting. The Board of Trustees in a three to two vote with Trustees Carl Gorton and Warren Altmann dissenting, voted to ask the District 22 Board of Education to set aside Saturday May 17 or May 24th and if they refuse, the Library Director was authorized to proceed with hiring an attorney to take legal action. The Board of Education had turned down President Robert Callahan's previous request to hold the library vote on May 6,7 after the school board decided to hold their vote on June 10,11.% Library Director Orrin B. Dow this week hand delivered a Board request in Albany to Robert B. Stone, Counsel for the Commissioner of Education, t asking for an informal opinion on the matter. The informal opinion from Albany was that the denial of the library request was within " the descretionary power" of the school board. During Wednesday's meeting trustee Gorton and Altmann opposed the expense of an attorney as a '* waste of taxpayers monies". Later, Irwin Jacovsky, candidate for library board, pointed out that in past years when the school and library budget were on the same ballot, many taxpayers did not make a distinction and voted both down, even though the library budget on the ballot had meant a tax saving to the district for that year. Other members of the audience decried the expenditure of an attorney and one threatened a taxpayers suit. The Library Board had determined that it could not use library board attorney Kendrick C. Smith on this matter. Smith is also attorney for the school board. Other action taken by the library board on Wednesday was to cut $ 10,000 from book purchases and to close the branch and the main libraries on Sundays and holidays; a shut down of the main library on Wednesdays during the ' day and the branch library on Wednesday evenings'* and to close both on Saturdays during the summer. The Board agreed to raise book fines from two to three cents and that $ 15,000 of estimated fines and fees could be subtracted for the gross budget and an additional transfer of $ 10,000 from the fines and fees accounts, leaving a total of $ 394,525 to be submitted to the voters. The Board then adopted the gross budget of $ 419,525. Trustee Dr, Albert Meyerstein made a motion to proceed with use of accumulated fines and fees for the construction of a mezzanine in the South Farmingdale Branch. Although President Callahan seconded the motion for the purpose of discussion, he stated that he was againist the motion until voters decided whether to purchase the building or not. The motion was defeated. The construction of a mezzanine from funds set aside from book fines has been a subject of controversy for some time. Some residents are against the nearly $ 40,000 expenditure for a mezzanine in rented quarters, but would prefer the purchase of the Branch Library instead of payment of a $ 25,000 annual rental. Village Board Adopts Budget; Tax Rate Up 14(. Farmingdale Mayor Joseph Zureck and the Board of Trustees met at a public hearing last night to consider the proposed 1969- 70 Village Budget, The budget was approved after the meeting. In presenting the proposed budget totaling $ 788,448., less estimated net surplus from the 1968- 69 budget amounting to $ 65,789, plus anticipated 1969- 70 revenue of $ 413,017 to be raised by taxation is expected to total $ 2.10 per hundred of assesses valuation. The new figure represented a 140 increase over last year's $ 1.96. Village Clerk James McKenna stated that over a ten year span, village taxes have increased 43. 8%, mostly because of major road improvements, improved water facilities, drainage installations and the purchase of e-quipment for the Farmingdale Fire DepL, the Highway and Water Departments. In addition, salaries for village employees have been increased in proportion to salaries paid by surrounding commercial businesses. All village employees have received a salary increase of 1.5% for the year 1969- 70. The new budget calls for the purchase of a new heavy duty truck for the Highway Department to augment the existing fleet and relieve some of the lighter equipment to limited duty for snow removal. Also contemplated is the purchase of a new Mack Pumper for the Fire Department to replace the 1953 pumper. Other improvements will be the installation of drainage to Sullivan Road, one of the last village streets without the facility. The Village Hall is now 37 years old, and appropriations have been included to make necessary repairs to the roof, painting of the interior and exterior of the building, installation of new gutters and leaders, as well as renovation of the Lounge Room for the members of the Fire Department. hi other board action, an application submitted by Daleview Realty Corp. to demolish the existing office and residence known as Erin Realty, located at. 574 Fulton Street was approved This site will subsequently be utilized for the construction of the new Daleview Nursing Home, as an adjunct to the existing facility located at 530 Fulton Street. In conjunction with the various committees as established by Mayor Zureck at the Annual Organization Meeting of the Board on April 7th, Mayor Zureck designated Trustees Kras-now and Carman to a new Committee to be known as the Park Committee. The purpose of the new committee will be to formulate rules and regulations regarding the use of the new Village Green. The new building inspector, George Cook, then discussed his activities o the last two weeks regarding progress of new construction in addition to his investigations of complaints of building code violations. Mayor Zureck complimented Cook on his comprehensive report and assurred him of the Board of Trustees complete co- operation in his attempts to remove any violations.

"We're very, very upset about it. We really, really find it despicable behavior," said Jim Godsil, chief financial officer of LIFE.
He said Stone and Schuh could lose their jobs.
"We have codes of conduct in terms of how we expect our employees to act, and this could potentially be in violation of that," Godsil said.
Almost 1,700 people posted comments on LIFE's Facebook page protesting the photo, in which Stone pretends to yell while showing her middle finger.

Saying that about something that makes a person hurt is insensitive and nasty, period. I would defriend that person immediately. It irks me no end when people make snap judgements about people and then use them to make nasty comments. Send hugs to your friend, and PM her to get rid of Captain Insensitive.Slightly related, one day our housekeeper got arrested coming back from the shops. She was not doing anything, but when cops do 'blitzes' they just arrest everyone. We did not know where she was for two whole days. Zefrem posted, "I wonder where (housekeeper) is; we're getting worried". Some clueless woman wrote back, "So clean your own bathroom for once." Gee, thanks. We're worried that she might be hurt or something, and this person uses it to make a nasty comment. (HK was finally let out without charges.)Some people just don't care how their remarks come across.
Write something in her comments to the effect of, "I'm so sorry you're hurting so much. Of course this is hard for you, honey, and remember, you can always talk to me if you need to. I'll always want to help and support you in any way I can."Captain Insensitive needs a good kick in the teeth. I hope she cuts him from her friends--and her life.
This may be a sign of my age, or of my being completely out of step with the times, but I'm a bit shocked that someone would post updates about a matter as private as a miscarriage on Facebook. That's just my reaction.

"If you can't think of something nice to say, then say nothing at all," is a good lesson here.

Tyler Valentine's Day event slated to protest domestic abuse
Staff Reports
A local organization is inviting women, men and children to celebrate Valentine's Day by dancing midday in the center of Tyler to protest domestic abuse and violence against women.
Tyler Rose's Rising will join with activists across the globe for ONE BILLION RISING, the largest day of action in the history of V-Day, which is the global activist movement to end violence against women and girls, according to a news release.
According to the organization, one in three women on the planet will be beaten or raped during their lifetime, equating to one billion women worldwide.
A group will gather at 12:30 p.m. in the T.B. Butler Fountain Plaza in downtown Tyler to protest the staggering statistics and raise funds and awareness, the news release states. Participants also can receive a free T-shirt while supplies last.
In its 14th year, the V-Day activist movement works to end violence against women and bring awareness through productions of its funder Eve Ensler's play, "The Vagina Monologues," and other artistic works, the release states.
To date, the organization has raised more than $90 million for the cause, the release states.
"When we started V-Day 14 years ago, we had the outrageous idea that we could end violence against wo-men," Ms. Ensler said in the release. "Now, we are ... stunned and thrilled to see that this global action is truly escalating and gaining force, with union workers, parliament members, celebrities, and women of all backgrounds coming forward to join the campaign. When we come together on February 14, 2013, to demand an end to violence against women and girls it will be a truly global voice that will rise up."�
For more about V'Day Tyler Rose's Rising, call 903-952-1492 or email the organization at h_sinclair@rocket mail.com. To learn more about V'Day and its campaigns, visit www.vday.org and www.onebillionrising. org.

An open letter to the community,
When they first announced the coming street tire stock classes last year, I wrote a long letter to Howard Duncan about how I really hope that they're not trying to decide the future fate (tire-wise) of stock class based on participation in the upcoming RT classes. He assured me that it was only a small piece in the puzzle, and yet here we go, in the SoloMatters today, with Hardy saying, "it's time to put up or shut up."
Well, Hardy, I'm doing neither. I desperately want street tires in stock classes. Desperately. However, I'm not going anywhere near RT, at least not in the car I'd want to run there (an S2000). Splitting it up by drivetrain was a good start, but fundamentally, if you want to run stock cars on street tires, it requires a full class redesign, from the ground up.
In the RTR class, a mid engine low power car like the SS Elise or ES MR2 are going to just absolutely dominate the class, and if they don't, it's because someone's not driving it right. As someone who used to daily drive an SS Elise on Z1s, I can affirmatively state that it's the car to have (or at least be on parity with the MR2). The Elise suddenly becomes the fastest car in stock class, the Corvette is probably relegated to a BS car or so (it can't even use its power on R comps, much less on street tires), the WRXs, Evos, and STis all jump up to being AS or SS cars, etc. The RX-8 probably bumps up, the 350Z probably bumps down. The current classing structure is nuked. Trying to pretend that it's truly applicable in a new tire class is just sheer silliness.
So, as long as we try to run the old stock classing with a set of completely different grip:weight ratios, we're only fooling ourselves. Some people will certainly jump, but most of the top level stock class drivers won't go. Including me.
If you want to make what I consider an absolutely necessary change in stock class to street tires, then do it. But please god don't do this and then pretend that it bears any resemblance to the community's desire for street tires in stock, and if it has low participation numbers then assume that it's not what people want. It is what people want, but the most important thing in autocross is a perception of fair competition. As long as that's not there (which it isn't in RT), the competitive drivers are going to keep staying in the proper, vetted stock classes, despite it not being where they want to be.
I agree. I think it's unrealistic to expect a wholesale change of the classes overnight. This is a step in the right direction. I will only cry foul if they give up on the classes after too short of a period of time (like only 1 year). Pretty much all classes take some gestation time (ok, not STR, but *most*).
Dave G.
I really don't understand your argument about a lack of parity between cars in these new street tire classes. Hasn't that always been the case? Certain cars are overdogs for the class and the "ones to have" and others are not. It's impossible to have 100% parity when different cars are racing in the same class. Take S2000's in BS for instance. Nobody bothers showing up to Nats in anything other than an S2000 and BS is practically a spec S2000 class. You talk about parity, but you drive a car that is a clear class overdog (S2000 CR). It sounds like to me a case of the pot calling the kettle black and you don't like this new idea because it may not cater to your particular car and situation and you may no longer have "the car to have."
You're missing the point entirely, and douchily attacking, but I'll elucidate anyway.
Right now there's 9 stock classes. Within each class, there's usually an overdog car, but the classes are separated so that there's at least several different separated places to play. They're now throwing everyone together into 3 classes, and pretending that the PAX values for the stock class cars, which are now on street tires, are remotely relevant in the new regime. Sure, you can just say "it's a new world, go buy an elise or MR2 and run in the new class", but that's not really the point -- the point is to try to provide a competitive atmosphere. I can show up to BS in a 370Z, an S2000 CR, or even an AP1 S2000, and be competitive on any given day, and especially at an NT, could win with a good drive. There's a perceived (real or not) car-to-have in each class, but there's usually lots of other cars within a hair or two of that car, because the classes have been fairly carefully monitored over the years to place cars within remote levels of parity. This is no longer the case -- they're taking PAX values for cars on one grip:power/weight level, and trying to make an entirely new class based off those same values, even though they've changed drastically.
There won't be any real competition in RTR most of the time, because people like us are smart enough to know that unless you have a mid engine car, you'd be showing up to a gunfight with a knife. Those good drivers with a mid engine car won't bother showing up either, because they know the previous fact, which is that the other competition won't be there either. So, you're going to end up with it being an exact copy of most of the regional street tire classes (packwood and san diego tours both already have street tire index classes) which are usually local underprepared cars, and will not be representative of the true new PAX mix. It might start to help determine new class construction, but it's not going to be truly representative of top level competition like they're hoping it will.
My codriver owns an S2000 CR which I usually drive, but we'll be in BS with it, not RTR -- we already have a place to play with it. If it were remotely competitive in RTR, we'd much rather go play there (way cheaper and less of a pain in the ass), but it's not, for the reasons above, so we won't. I'm also building an SSM car which I hope to run most of next year. I also have a DS WRX, which should be a fantastically perfect car for RTA, but I doubt I'll bring it out to that either. So, no, I'm not the pot calling the kettle black. I'm someone who loves autocross and wants to see stock go where it should go -- to street tires -- and is seeing the dream vanish before his eyes because it looks like SCCA is putting all their eggs in one crappy basket.
That's good to know. It worked at least for me, no way I was going to buy R-comps for 1-2 events or show up in B-stock on street tires and get my a$$ handed to me.
I prefer the local PAX street tire class over B-Stock because it has much better competition, and also a lot cheaper for me.As I tend to do around 30+ events per year and R-comps were breaking the bank.
There are differences between an advantage, close but unequal competition, and a slaughter. An S2000 CR in RTR would be the latter.
My codriver and I were the ones who wrote the letters to SEB last month asking to move the S2000 CR to AS to sink it, btw.
The CR would destroy AS in its current form FWIW.
That's debatable. Either way, it would mean we could sell it and get an equally fun S2000 to drive competitively for half the price.
When a hack in an Elise can cream you in your non-mid-engined car, that's not competition.
You are being treated as a national class -- for now. Until they deal with parity issues, though, it's going to be mostly subscribed to by regionals.

It's the holidays and many people are filled with the holiday spirit, but not everybody is in the mood to celebrate. Marcie Fraser takes a closer look.
"Don't spend time with negative people who are going to bring you down. Surround yourself with loving, warm and healthy people who are going to help you stay secure and sane during the holidays," said Meghan Lemery, LCSW-R/Psychotherapist.
Family dysfunction can ruin a holiday season.
"Too close for comfort, you are used to each other, you never know people rub each other the wrong way sometimes."
The dreaded family get together…
"Examine your motive to spending time with family. If it is out of guilt and fear you have to take a step back and be willing to make changes to honor your peace," said Lemery.
If there are issues with certain people, limit your time.
"If you have difficult family members, have a plan to spend only a short amount of time with them. Let them know you will be definitely be stopping by but for a short period," said Lemery.
What do you do if they get mad at you for not spending more time?
"How a family reacts to your decision to honor your own mental health and peace, is not your problem," said Lemery.
Some people manage stress by drinking and eating too much, that can make the problem worse, keep focused on healthy habits. "Make sure every day for that the month of December you have an intention of what you are going to do that day, whether it is a workout, a quiet moment where you are going to relax, make sure every day you have a self care plan," said Lemery.

'Sad Cat Diary' Offers Hilarious Insight Into the Mind of a Cat

Or does it??? ;-) Ok, I know it would appear that I, if I'm not the cat lady NOW, I am well on my way. In the past year, I have become very in tune with cats and all of their personalities. Maybe that's why I love them so much and they, in turn, are drawn to me. lol
I found a video that gives a little insight to the mind of the sad cat (which is only ONE of their many personalities) Watch, learn and laugh!! It's seriously, hilarious!

I wonder what type of a response we'd see from China when they hear that an international coalition of nations is heading to South Korea to stop that cult from invading from the North.
It's just bullshit posturing & empty threats... designed to blackmail more money for food from US. New South vs North K war wouldn't last even 10 days.
If we (America) get involved with this militarily then we've truly learned nothing.
china would bitch slap n korea into next week before they pulled any real shit.
I hate being bipolar, its awesome.
Unlikely. They border North Korea. There's no fucking way they'd sit there and do nothing. They were just about to come to blows with the Japanese over some chain of islands.

"Screaming douchebags on my TV, our heroes are dumb and loud"
china has those idiots under control. they like n korea needling & harrassing us & allies to waste our time & distract us but they do not want n korea inviting war to the continent. they know better & will ultimately handle itself if n korea got out of hand.
I hate being bipolar, its awesome.

MMA Fight Shorts
MMA shorts or MMA Fight Shorts are generally the long board short variety generally made out of various synthetic materials fall into a few basic designs usually the variations being in either the waistband or the finishing and of course the wide variety of designs. These MMA shorts are sometimes refered to as MMA board shorts as the original MMA fighters wore surfing board shorts to fight in. Top MMA Shorts brands such as Revgear, Fairtex, Hayabusa, Sprawl and many more are all available.
MMA Shorts - MMA Fight Shorts
High Tech MMA Shorts
OF the many brands of MMA shorts on the market there seems to be a growing trend of making "technical" innovations in what is essentially a pair of surfing shorts with some minor tweaks.
How technologically advanced can a pair of shorts be? They are not a space shuttle after all.
There are a few slightly differing materials however I would guess at the decision making process being generally a compromise between comfort and durability. Jaco fightwears' resurgence range introduced a lycra into the fabric for what were I think one of the more innovative designs of MMA shorts of recent years. Hayabusa make quite a lot of noise on the whole technology front but essentially they stick to what is a variation on the classic Sprawl theme their main selling point as far as I can see is the design and the well marketed branding along with some high profile sponsored fighters. Speaking of Sprawl whom have been making good quality MMA shorts for as long as I can remember they did bring in what was essentially a couple of strips of rubbery material to help grip for armbars and triangle chokes. Now that was an innovation for sure and in my mind a little like adding a bit of an iron bar into a boxing glove but technologically advanced I'm not so sure.
I quite admire venum fightwear for being unashamedly fashion conscious and to my knowledge so far making no claims of scientific breakthroughs in the MMA fight shorts field. Tapout also stick with the notion that a pair of shorts are primarily a vehicle to avoid you looking less than cool in the all important walk out phase of a fight although Tapout are in danger of becoming the least cool fightwear brand on earth due to simple over exposure and being worn by the same people you see everywhere in well known fast food chains getting extra fries and spilling their milkshake down their slightly faded Everlast hoody, evidently having never set foot in a boxing gym.
Badboy used to stick with just being a super cool fight brand with manga cartoons proporting the virtues of being basically a "bad" boy however they have been sanitised since moving north and although the makers of fine MMA apparel are not looking ready for that Nobel science award just yet.
There are three things your shorts should do:
1 Look cool
2 avoid you looking silly (like not wearing any)
3 Be durable
They won't make you fight better, faster, wash themselves or smell sweeter!!!
MMA Shorts
MMA shorts need to be breathable and flexible in order to allow for maximum range of motion. If the MMA shorts are overly constrictive it will alter and prevent the fighter from performing certain moves, and could cost him or her the fight. The shorts must also be snug enough to not get in the way or fall off while the fight is in progress.
MMA shorts can be attained from many different receptacles. Although, make sure the shorts that are purchased fit correctly without overly binding or grabbing at the crotch or thighs. MMA shorts come in a wide variety of choices, colors, and sizes. They can be attained through the fightstoremma website.
The fightstoremma website also has many of the other accessories that are needed for the boxer, and the mma fighter. Find a number of styles and fits for not only fight gear and clothing, but also gloves, pads, and heavy bags. In terms of board shorts for MMA fighting, the colors and patterns are many. Fitted waistbands and elastic waistbands are among some of the many choices that one will find at the fightstoremma.
With so many choices, excellent customer service and dedication to offerring only the best products, the fightstoremma is one of the best places to go for all your martial arts, boxing and mma needs. They strive to offer the advice and the products for that new fighter, the experienced fighter and the fan. High quality products and exceptional service makes the fightstoremma the one stop for all your fight needs.

Report: Vikings trade Harvin to Seahawks
The Minnesota Vikings traded wide receiver Percy Harvin to the Seattle Seahawks and is on his way to Seattle to take a physical, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported Monday.
It is not clear what the Vikings will get for Harvin in return.
Harvin, 24, had been rumored to be a camp holdout if the Vikings did not offer him a better contract. He requested a trade last summer before reporting to camp but that talk died down. He is entering the final year of his deal.
ESPN's Adam Schefter earlier reported that the Vikings and Seahawks were in trade talks and that other teams were involved.
Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said at the NFL Scouting Combine in February that he had no intentions of dealing Harvin.
The versatile Harvin caught 62 passes for 677 yards, rushed 22 times and had a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown for Minnesota in just over a half-season last year. He sprained his left ankle against the Seahawks on Nov. 4 and missed the rest of 2012.

HEAD racquet rebel Stanislas Wawrinka created some personal tennis history only weeks after the February birth of daughter Alexis as he won the Casablanca Open title. The 6-2, 6-3 victory over fellow HEAD player Victor Hanescu of Romania marked the second career title for Wawrinka, playing with a YouTek Prestige MP, His infant daughter turned two months old the day after the win in North Africa. Wawrinka added the Casablanca title to his other ATP success in summer, 2006, on clay in Umag/Croatia.
"I'm very happy with my win today. I've lost five finals in a row and now finally I have the trophy in my hands," said Wawrinka. "I felt great during the whole match and never allowed Victor to get into the game. I think this was my best match of the week. This is a great start to the clay court season and I hope to continue like that. I look forward to next week in Monte Carlo where my wife and daughter will travel with me for the first time."
The Swiss got off to a great start in his pre-Roland Garros campaign, breaking his HEAD stablemate four times in the 77-minute struggle. Wawrinka was denied as he lost serve while holding a lead of a set and 5-1 as Hanescu clawed back towards contention.
"Today Stan was just too good for me," said Hanescu. "It's still a week of good tennis and it was great to play in front of full crowds here in Casablanca in this great atmosphere."
Wawrinka, a member of the Top-10 in 2008, will take his No. 23 ranking higher after never losing before the third round at any tournament this season and now standing a perfect 12-0 against non-Top 20 players. Wawrinka's win marked a turn in his fortunes in ATP finals after five of his first six.
Hanescu had a successful week as he defeated Finn Jarkko Nieminen and Richard Gasquet on the way to the title match.

Danny Efland Seeks to Partner with USC Next Year
Irmo, SC (PRWEB) November 16, 2012
NASCAR has a problem. Costs are rising and sponsors are becoming sparse. Many drivers are being forced to get creative with their sponsorships for 2013 and Danny Efland NASCAR Nationwide driver / owner is no different.
This fall marketing students from Clemson University helped NASCAR Nationwide driver Mike Wallace in his search for sponsors. The students also set out to raise enough money for the school to sponsor Wallace's car for one race. Danny Efland is asking the University of South Carolina to do the same for him. Only this time the school will have an entire year to accomplish this feat.
Danny Efland graduated from USC in December 2011 and has been able to race full time for the first time this year. Currently Efland is ranked 21st in the standings in the NASCAR Nationwide Series and hopes to improve upon that next year. "All it takes sometimes is the right sponsor to give you the boost you need to be even more competitive. I saw HOW Clemson was getting behind Mike and I thought maybe USC could do the same for me"- Danny Efland.
Efland graduated with an engineering degree and would welcome the opportunity to work with the engineering department to develop better parts for his racecar. "Anything that anybody can contribute I'll take, I am going for it this year and I will do whatever it takes to get where I need to be". Efland knows that this is not a typical strategy that most drivers take and he doesn't care; his path has never been the traditional one.
About Danny:
Danny Efland is a NASCAR driver who races for JD Motorsports in the Nationwide Series. He has also competed in USAR Pro Cup and the Camping World Truck Series. He graduated with honors from Dutch Fork High School and graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in engineering. For more information on Danny's career, please visit his website at http://www.dannyefland.com.

Overview of Irvine
If you are considering a move to Irvine, CA, you canât go wrong with its variety of apartments and other rentals. Located in Orange County, south of Los Angeles, Irvine is widely viewed as a beautiful city and a great place to live. Incorporated in 1971, Irvine is a relatively young community, and although especially popular with families, it has become a beacon for people of all ages.
Living in Irvine, CA
Todayâs Irvine was originally part of three large Spanish/Mexican land grants issued in the mid-1800s. These were eventually broken up and sold to investors, including James Irvine, a sheep rancher. Eventually he acquired a total of 110,000 acres that stretched from the Pacific Ocean inland to the Santa Ana River.
In the early 1900s, the land was planted with crops and citrus orchards. Now called The Irvine Company, the family-run organization sold land to the government during World War II for two Marine Corps facilities, and later to the University of California of a campus, UC Irvine, a preeminent public college.
Working with the University, The Irvine Company developed a concept for a master-planned community to surround the campus. It called for residential, commercial, industrial zones, as well as recreational areas and greenbelts. The first âvillagesâ and business park in the plan were completed by 1970. In 1971, these early residents incorporated their new city. Today, the city encompasses 65 square miles and has a population of 212,000. It is one of the countryâs largest master planned communities.
The city and its residents work together to ensure the city maintains its stellar reputation as a âdestination city.â In 2012, for the eighth consecutive year, the FBI ranked Irvine as the âsafestâ city in the country with a population over 100,000 for its low crime rate. In addition, in 2012, the city was designated a âPlayful City USAâ by a national nonprofit organization in recognition of its quality playgrounds, parks and recreation services. In fact, the now decommissioned El Toro Marine Base is being developed into a huge county park, called The Orange County Great Park. The city was also No. 4 on the list of the 10 Best Cities for Raising a Family in 2012, and No. 5 on BusinessWeekâs 2011 list of Best Places to Live.
Many neighborhoods in Irvine are popular, each for their own unique reasons. Some people prefer the tree-lined original communities like Turtle Rock or University Park, while others will seek out more recently developed neighborhoods like Turtle Ridge or Avenue One.
Irvine Work & Study
Irvineâs location in Orange County near major freeways gives residents more job options than other communities. Irvine also has an number of business and industrial parks that house many corporations. In fact, about a dozen international and more than three dozen U.S. companies are headquarters in Irvine. Of course, UC Irvine is a major employer, as is its affiliated hospital and medical center.
Irvine is served by two school districts for kindergarten through 12th grade: Irvine Unified School District and the Tustin Unified School District. Both have nationally recognized schools and an excellent reputation. In addition the UC, Irvine, California State University Fullerton maintains an Irvine campus. Students also can attend Irvine Valley College, a community college.
Irvine Cost of Living
The cost of living in Irvine is substantially above the U.S. average, as are most of Californiaâs major cities. Keep in mind, that for many jobs in Southern California, pay scales are somewhat adjusted to the local cost of living. Nicely appointed one-bedroom apartments rent for $12,00 to $1,400 monthly. Two bedroom units begin at about $1,500 monthly and increase to around $2,100. Condo rents are slightly higher at $1,600 for one bedroom to $2,200 for two bedrooms.
Irvine Attractions & Entertainment
There is a wide range of attractions and entertainment in Irvine. As a college community, you can count on a variety of trendy eateries, retails and nighttime hot spots. A main gathering spot for the community is the Irvine Spectrum. It features more than 130 retail stores, restaurants and venues for entertainment. For family fun, youâre just a short freeway ride from Disneyland and Knottâs Berry Farm. If sports are your thing, you can catch the Los Angeles Angels at Anaheim Stadium or the Mighty Ducks at the Honda Center, also in Anaheim. Irvine also boasts a theater, art and museums, among other attractions. The city also is dotted with dozens of parks and outdoor recreational spaces for people of all ages to enjoy.
Irvine Special Events
More than 100 local and national artists participate each June in the Irvine Studio Arts Festival, which includes live demonstrations and musical performances. In late July and August, people grab their lawn chairs and coolers to enjoy free Sizzlinâ Summer Concerts in Park on Sunday evenings. By far the largest local even is the Irvine Global Village Festival in October. The free event features international cuisine, live entertainment, a kids village, cultural exhibits and more.
