... I ... the nation's capital our editorial board member Steve Moore joins us ... to talk about is released an exclusive interview ... with Speaker John painter after the resolution of the so-called fiscal cliff ... I just keep quiet about that in the paper this morning the most amazing quote I just wanna repeat for viewers who might not have seen it ... and Corning from your op ed call ... at one point several weeks ago Mr banner says the president said to me ... we don't have a spending problem end quote ... Steve ... what you make of that ... assessment ... well you know when John Binner Colby got married you know he said his jaw dropped and when they are told me that ... my jaw dropped and I think ... most people are just not ... completely surprised and shocked that the president actually police not ... one other interesting points about the dialogue between the two that John Binner told me was that ... time they are kept insisting that Mr present there is a spending problem ... you know with the four trillion dollar budget right now in ... and out of the present one point after irritated said ... John I'm tired of you telling me about some ... of that that was tied to ... the point of the area says that if the present the same except the fact that we have been overspending province like it on to stage a stage one of recovery from addiction is not the least acknowledging the problem right ... it's not that that's that's right it's certainly disturbing quote ... by Steven is very interested in the comments that speaker brainer made ... in analyzing the outcome of the fiscal cliff which he seemed to see ... as a victory ... for Republicans the best deal that they can get ... you elaborate on that ... well you know in the first of all the angry that I all of the ... special interest for in the bill that we've written on the editorial page was busy putting our originated out of course created the fact that we had a ... crazy couple gains tax and dividend tax a one point he made that people should think about is like you said we were able to keep ... the taxes the Bush era tax is in place in a prominent married for ninety eight percent of the tax filer said ... that you know when you think about it on ... you could make the case of the big winner here with George W Bush because his legacy as bow than some of the dead on ... Steve did you get any insight from the speaker ... I about how he's going to approach the next fight in Congress which is the debt limit increase ... is he willing to go to the wall like they did it before when this issue came up or do you get the sense that he is ... less willing to bring the country ... to that point again ... in all I think what he told me I am very directly was he thinks that this is a he called a one point of leverage but he said ... the debt ceiling is not the alternate point of leverage and he thinks that the stronger point of leverage in terms of ... and by the bridge TV is trying to get the president to agree to some of these entitlement reforms in ... the Medicare and Medicaid ... he said that the ultimate four ... point about Bob leverage is the sequester which starts on that March first that the Democrats are very eager to get that turned off Mary and the Republicans can just sit back and let that happen until the Democrats ... on have a change of heart in terms of their willingness to walk trimmed some of these programs such as ... on raising the retirement age for Medicare ... Steve are getting word that the president is that approaching the podium ... I've seen nominates a former Republican Senator Chuck a go for Secretary of defense and counterterrorism chief ... John Brennan a C I a director ... one Iran that live on WS J dot com for viewers who are interested ... I very briefly Steve one last question very quickly ... a sense of Mr. painter's new deceit ... optimistic even get anything out of the next two years what was your sense of ten personnel yet yet she was surprisingly optimistic given the fact that he was so frustrating dealing with them the UN was work so we're not to do anymore post or negotiations ... but he does think there's a chance we could get some tax reform Dodd ... and he actually thinks the Democrats could be dragged to the negotiating table on these big entitlements will see how can that oral board member Steve Moore thank you so much ... for being with us ...

There was a definite spirit of giving feeling in the air this week for The Children's Fund of San Bernardino County.
Supporters of children in need spent hours fundraising in order to provide happy holidays to many individuals and families. And the spirit will continue into the new year.
Fundraising is an on-going and necessary element to the work done by this nonprofit but the organization received a lovely end-of-the-year financial gift from four separate agencies.
Contributions came from First 5, $50,000; Bonnes Meres of Redlands (one of two very active and dedicated auxiliaries of the Children's Fund),
$70,000; Sheriff's Academy Class of 187, $18,466; and the San Bernardino Department of Child Support Services, $5,761.
Together, the generous gestures added up to $144,227 that will be used to continue to help youngsters who have been neglected, abused or abandoned. And the San Bernardino County Fire Department Spark of Love program provided Children's Fund with more than 1,000 toys this season.
"Children's Fund has many programs to support the children all year long, not just during the holidays. Our Emergency Needs Program provides direct assistance to at-risk children, providing them with items such as food, clothing, beds, shelter and medical and dental care," said Karen Blanco, public relations and marketing manager for Children's Fund.
"We support special projects such as the Children's Fund Assessment Center, San Bernardino's one-stop center that is designed to reduce the trauma of child abuse victims. And there are many programs that we fund such as backpacks for the kids filled with school supplies, winter coat program for those in the high/low desert, hygiene kits and so many more. We support other agencies as well, funding them all for the same purpose, to help these children, to make an impact on their lives, giving them hope for brighter tomorrows."
The Children's Fund of San Bernardino County is a proud member of the San Bernardino county Children's Network. It was established in 1986 when a public/private partnership was formed between Inland Empire businesses, other nonprofits and individuals wanting to make the lives of some of the county's youngest residents better.
It also has helped with the coordination of services for those who so desperately need them.
The Children's Fund is available for daily referrals from case managers and social workers. It maintains a committed community outreach program involving fundraising/funding grant requests and hosts a holiday toy drive that last year alone provided gifts to 32,000 children. And the nonprofit provides endowment scholarships to local colleges and universities for deserving young people who want to pursue their educations.
Its ultimate goal, of course, is to prevent child abuse all together, but until that one day becomes a reality, Children's Fund has been there and will continue to be there helping at-risk children.
"We are working to make the public more aware of all that Children's Fund does during the year," Blanco said.
"Many people are aware of our Celebration of Giving Campaign were we give toys, gifts and games to the underprivileged, at-risk, abused children in San Bernardino County. In this resource-constrained environment, we have to work smarter with what we have. We believe that the energy and enthusiasm of our dynamic team is catching on and new partnerships are being formed. Between our staff, the Board of Directors, auxiliaries (in addition to Bonnes Meres there is the Claremont West End Auxiliary), Children's Network and other volunteers and supporter, Children's Fund is grateful for what we are accomplishing as we continue to form new partnerships and develop our message to the public."
Even though the Children's Fund is a strong network of caring and generous supporters, there is always room for more. Financial donations are critical but so are the gifts of time.

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Dec 26: Andy Murray is feeling less pressure after winning his first Grand Slam title and credits coach Ivan Lendl with having made the difference at the U.S. Open.
The third-ranked Briton ensured 2012 was the best year of his career by adding the title at Flushing Meadows to his gold medal from the London Olympics. As a result, he will enter the Australian Open next month with a different mindset.
"In the last three, four or five years there has been significant pressure in my mind, and now I feel more relaxed and relieved after winning the U.S. Open," Murray said Wednesday. "So, I think from my side, I hope to take the pressure off myself and be able to play a little bit more relaxed—and I hope to repeat my Grand Slam win.
"I don't know how I will feel going into the first round of Australian Open, so it will be a new feeling for me and I just have to deal with it."
Murray was speaking at a news conference to promote a winner-takes-all $250,000 exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi that will serve as part of his preparations for the Australian Open, which runs from Jan. 14-27.
Murray hired Lendl on last New Year's Eve, and is full of the praise for the changes the eight-time Grand Slam champion has helped him make in his game.
"He helped with a lot of small things; you know, technical things, small mental and psychological things and small physical things as well as tactical things," Murray said. "A lot of those small things add up to five to 10 percent to my game, and that was what I needed to find to make it past the last hurdle and win one of the major tournaments.
"I have enjoyed working with him a lot. It is turning out well, so I hope it continues."
Having lost in the final at Wimbledon this year, Murray's plans now are to go one better at his home major tournament and become the top-ranked player in the world—but he doesn't plan on playing more events to achieve the second of those goals.
"Every year when Wimbledon comes around I'm desperate to win and do well. It's an incredibly tough event and a lot of pressure during that time of the year," he said.
"The No. 1 ranking is what every player wants to get. I can improve my ranking just playing like I have done last season and the rest of the tour. I don't want to add extra tournaments and mess up my schedule to try to reach No. 1."
Murray plays Janko Tispsarevic on Thursday in the opening match of the Mubadala World Tennis Championship. That will be followed by David Ferrer taking on Tomas Berdych. Novak Djokovic and Nicolas Almagro, who replaced Rafael Nadal, are also in the field.

Columbus, Neb. – In mid-May, tornados tore through approximately 15 miles of the Nebraska Public Power District's high-voltage power line between Hallam and McCool in the south central part of the state. Three other power lines damaged by the storm were restored to service within days, but reconstruction of the fourth and final line is underway. And while approximately 100 splintered structures may look like a gigantic game of Pick Up Sticks, the process is not that easy.
It begins with an assessment of all parts and pieces to be replaced. Once NPPD knows the magnitude of damage, it determines the time required to reconstruct. In this case, NPPD plans to energize the 345,000-volt power line by July 1, in time for summer's heat. Bid requests were issued to contractors with high-voltage line reconstruction experience, and Brink Constructors of Rapid City, S.D., was selected to perform the work . Materials were ordered and five days later began arriving at the construction site.
When we say materials, we're talking more than 200 poles and 100 cross-arms, not to mention hundreds of insulators and thousands of nuts and bolts to hold it all together. Did we mention there were two steel structures also destroyed? In total, approximately 1.3 million pounds of damaged structures will be rebuilt. Nearly 90 miles of new conductor, 15 miles of fiber optic cable, and 15 miles of shield wire (the single wire at the top that "shields" the structure from lightning) will replace an equal amount of the same damaged by the storm. NPPD recycles whatever damaged materials it can.
Of an estimated $16.9 million in damages to the initial four power lines, this particular section represents an estimated $16.5 million of the cost. (That's a little over $1 million per mile.)
"NPPD's business is ensuring power is generated and delivered safely and reliably to the people of this state," explained Tom Kent, vice president and chief operating officer. "While we have several paths that carry power throughout the state, every transmission line has a purpose, and collectively, the entire grid can affect livelihoods and the economy of this state."
Transmission crews are assigned various tasks to rebuild the power lines and crew sizes vary. At least 30 individuals will be needed to complete the reconstruction, which is done in phases: foundations, structures, cross-arms, hardware, conductor/shield wire, and final inspection before being energized.
"In mere minutes, Mother Nature can destroy what takes several months and so many to build," said Kent. "Electricity is something we all take for granted, until we don't have it. NPPD wants to make sure we do."
NOTE: High Resolution photos of reconstruction's start and damaged structures are available at:

RICHMOND — A Senator's attempt to reach a compromise on gun show background checks was shot down by a Senate committee, taking fire from members in both parties.
By a vote of 11-3, the Senate Courts of Justice Committee killed Sen. John Edwards' last-ditch effort to settle a long-running debate over the so-called "gun show loophole," which allows private sellers at gun shows to sell firearms without a criminal records check on the buyer.

inflatable foot darts
is football meetings, using a ball hook & loop football and a dart board hook & loop 20 foot tall, you got darts For what you?re doing right now and check this amazing new football game! A British company was the one who invented this fun new sport called ?Darts Football (Soccer Darts)? and gave him the name: Darts Pie. It is basically a combination of football and darts.
The idea is to kick a ball covered Velcro against a dart board inflatable 23 feet tall. As in a typical dart game, the point where the ball hits determines the number of points you get. You can even boot from a raised platform if you have trouble kicking a more vertically.
Darts standing seems quite fun and a good way to practice your target score in your next football game. It also looks much more entertaining than any of the two sports for themselves. Definitely we would play this game.

School board votes to send back sex-ed textbook
FREMONT, CA - The Fremont school board is sending back to the publisher a sex-education textbook after complaints from parents that it is too graphic for ninth-graders.
The board voted 3-2 Wednesday night to return "Your Health Today" to publisher McGraw-Hill and use last year's sex education textbook. But the board also decided that the old textbook won't be sent home with students because it contains outdated and inaccurate information.
Some parents objected to much of the content in the new book's chapters on sex, which included references to sex toys, bondage, erotic touch and dating websites.
Superintendent Jim Morris says he hoped the publisher would be able to make the necessary changes, but that there were no guarantees it would be possible.

Addit sceleri scelus: stirpem fratris virilem interimit, fratris filiae Reae Silviae, cum virginem Vestalem eam legisset, perpetua virginitate spem partus adimit.
I've discussed this passage before (Orberg's adapted (I think) Livy). I know what it means but am not sure how the grammar works in the clause beginning '..., fratris filiae Reae Silviae,...'
Trying to translate literally, '...when he selected Rea Silvia his brother's daughter as a Vestal virgin he removed, through perpetual viginity, hope of issue.
What is the case of Reae Silviae? : it's either dative or genitive but I can't justify either. Shouldn't it be ablative - he denied her. I can't see that adimo, adimere takes dative. Does it take dative becauase he's doing this to her, because she's an indirect object with the direct object being 'spes'?
What's 'eam' doing? This is feminine accusative. It's simply a pronoun object of 'legisset' meaning 'her' right?

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (October 31, 2010) — Zenyatta, who extended her unbeaten streak to 19 with a thrilling victory in the Lady's Secret Stakes Oct. 2, was voted Horse of the Meet in the annual media poll as the inaugural Oak Tree/Hollywood Park meet wrapped Sunday.
This was the third consecutive year Zenyatta, who is owned by Jerry and Ann Moss, trained by John Shirreffs and ridden by Mike Smith, has been voted the honor for her Oak Tree accomplishments.
The 6-year-old Street Cry mare, who has spent her entire career stabled at Hollywood Park, will attempt to finish her career 20-for-20 when she competes in the Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 6 at Churchill Downs. A victory would make her only the second two time winner of the Classic, joining Tiznow.
Zenyatta, who has earned eight of her victories at her home track, was also chosen older female.
Before a vocal and very enthusiastic on track crowd of 25,837, Zenyatta was able to overtake Switch in the final yards to capture the Lady's Secret for an unprecedented third time in succession.
Besides Zenyatta, other unanimous choices were Norfolk Stakes hero Jaycito as 2-year-old and 2-year-old male, Oak Leaf Stakes upsetter Rigoletta as 2-year-old filly, Yellow Ribbon Stakes heroine Hibaayeb as female turf horse and Goodwood Stakes winner Richard's Kid as older male.
In addition to female turf horse, Hibaayeb was also voted 3-year-old filly, Champ Pegaus, who won the Clement L. Hirsch Memorial Turf Championship, was turf horse and Smiling Tiger, who earned the biggest victory of his career in the Ancient Title Stakes Oct. 9, was selected sprinter as well as 3-year-old and 3-year-old male.Joe Carl, a two-time winner at the meet for owners Norma and Maurel Bell and George Carter and trainer Dan Hendricks, was given the claiming horse honor.
The human winners were Bob Baffert (trainer), Rafael Bejarano, who edged Joel Rosario 35-34 for the top spot in the standings, as jockey and Alex Gonzalez (apprentice jockey).
Baffert, who won the training title in the last race of the meet when Tweebster prevailed as the 6-5 favorite, finished the season with 11 victories, one more than Doug O'Neill and John Sadler. The title was Baffert's second in a row at Oak Tree and fifth since 1997.

The Blog
We Live for Music
Jason Samuel, General Manager
My son, Colin, has never known me not to work in the radio industry. Over the years we've shared a lot of music. We've talked about different bands and musical genres, customized playlists together and even imagined who would play at our ultimate fantasy music festival. Admittedly he's had a head start to his musical education thanks to my job programming 91.1 The Globe. All that exposure to recorded music naturally extended to live shows. A few concerts really stand out. After some discussion we came up with our top five
5. Lotus – Gshen Theater, 2012
This was a homecoming for Lotus, the first hometown show for the Goshen College band in more than seven years. For Colin it was his introduction to "the pit," soaking it all in with college kids and twenty-somethings.
I just let him go; joined by friends Ethan and Hank, for three hours of a jam band light show. There really are no lyrics to learn. It's more about catching the vibe and riding it like a wave to shore. He never left the front of the stage until the show was over. I watched from a distance, taking it all in; I knew exactly how he felt being that close to a band surrounded by energized fans. It's addictive. Who knows, maybe someday he'll be seeing Lotus at some small club in Chicago 20 years from now. Hope he remembers the first time. 4. Lollapalooza – Chicago, 2008.
Yeah, I took my 11-year-old to a huge summer festival at Grant Park with 80,000 people. We crisscrossed the park for 12 hours seeing some or all of countless shows.
Bang Camaro is a band from Boston. Their big song is "Bang Camaro" from their album Bang Camaro. This band travels with up to 20 members, a dozen of those all lead singing guitar players. Every song was full of simplistic lyrics and three chord harmonies; perfect for a soon to be sixth grader.
Jeff Tweedy of Wilco did an acoustic set at the Kidzapalooza tent that year. He made a point to have children up close telling parents to stay back. He really wanted to play for the kids, like some modern day Paul Stookey singing, "Puff the Magic Dragon" in the round. Through all the shuffling about Colin somehow ended up at Tweedy's feet for the show.
To this day there are numerous online videos forever capturing the indifference of my pre-teen son during the Chicago alt-rock icon's performance. Ironically, four years later, when Jenni and I went to see Wilco last December he asked us to bring him back a concert tee. With maturity comes wisdom.
Radiohead closed out the day. I had seen them six months prior and wanted Colin to catch the show, telling him he would thank me later. "This is 'your Led Zeppelin;' when you're in college and guys in the dorm are discovering Radiohead for the first time you can tell them you saw the band when you were 11."
They were the only artists scheduled to close on Friday night of the three-day festival. So where else do 80,000 people wind up the night? Radiohead.
We got to the stage area in plenty of time. A little far back but not bad considering their popularity. We staked out our spot. Made some temporary friends. And then Colin got thirsty. So I did something stupid. I told him to stay put. There still weren't many people around us and I made a mental note of landmarks and the people nearby. I ran to the nearest vendor a got two sodas. As I walked back I realized that everyone was headed to that end of the park. A sea of people had packed the field in minutes and I completely lost our location.
You know that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach that quickly rises into your chest and steals your breath? It's called panic. By the time it gets to your head you mind is spinning. Trying to make sense of the landmarks became useless. All the banners were the same color. All the people looked the same. I checked my watch. Twenty minutes until show time. The sun was beginning to set. The crowd was getting tighter. I struggled with trying to decide how long to keep looking before I called his mother. What would I say?
I kept looking and got more desperate. I started asking people if they'd seen a fifth grader in black ball cap and blue backpack. Lots of shaking heads and a few puzzled looks from fans didn't help my mental state. I kept walking toward where I thought I'd left him, the panic and anxiety growing more intense. My head was on a swivel. Looking for any sign of him.
Then I began to hear some cheering from the crowd. I immediately checked my watch. It was still 15 minutes before the band was supposed to start. If they come on early there is no way I'm going to find him. More cheers. Strangely they weren't coming from the stage but to my right. I thought that was odd so I walked toward the noise.
As I got closer I could tell people were watching something but I couldn't tell what it was. I kept moving toward the commotion. From about 30 feet away I noticed a small structure. It was a pyramid made out of stacked up empty beer cups. It's architect? You guessed it. As I walked up to Colin people were still passing plastic cups from every direction and cheering him on as he made his creation higher and wider. He was oblivious to everything but his new found fame. I on the other hand was more relieved than words can express.
Radiohead put on a great show. I watched the video board while he sat on my shoulders and got the best view anyone could ask for. Lucky him; luckier me.
3. Lollapalooza – Chicago, 2009
Everything worked out just fine last year, right? Why not do it again? A few early shows we caught included Black Joe Lewis & the Honey Bears and The Gaslight Anthem. We chose the Friday lineup because Colin really wanted to see Ben Folds, another one of his favorites.
At the Ben Folds performance we ended up standing next to two girls a few years older than Colin, probably high school sophomores. It seemed as though they knew every lyric to the songs. Colin held his own singing along to most of the set, but none of that mattered once he heard them mouth every profane syllable of a Snoop Dogg cover Folds sang near the end of the show. I remember him staring at them without regard, then leaning to me and saying, "Dad, Dad … they're singing profanity!"
I couldn't help but chuckle,"Yeah, I know. It's Snoop. Some girls just love Snoop. Why do you think he's singing it?" Between Ben Folds and the two blondes I don't think he could figure out where to stare. Life is full of tough choices.
We wrapped up the night with a great spot for the Depeche Mode performance. I gotta give him this one. He gave up seeing The Decemberists so we could be within center stage within 25 feet of the security fence. A highlight for us was singing the words to "Never Let You Down Again" together into my cell phone camera. I wish I still had that clip.
2. Dispatch – Chicago, 2011
Aside from three shows at Madison Square Garden in 2007, Dispatch hadn't toured since 2004. This was a short June swing spanning three weeks and seven-cities. Colin loves Dispatch. Before he had his own music collection he would call the radio station and request "The General" almost daily. By the time the tour was announced he was a qualified fan. I scored tickets to their show at the UIC Pavilion and we went up with a group of friends.
The band played a stellar show, akin to a greatest hits concert, including a five-song double encore. Colin had a great time, it helps when the band plays your all of your favorite songs from their catalog. The worst part of it for him, and I warned him not to leave during the encore, was when he and his friend Tristan left their seats to get a drink. As fate would have it, Chad Urmstrom appeared out of nowhere at the top of our aisle. He sang "Cut It Ya Match It" stopping next to our seats to belt out the majority of the song. It could've been him on all those You Tube videos instead of me. Tough one.
1. Green Day – Clarkston, Michigan, 2010
Bribery will get you everywhere. A few summers ago just after Green Day released 21st Century Breakdown I gave my son a workbook of math and English exercises. I told him if he completed the workbook by the end of the summer I would take him to see his favorite band. He had nearly three months to get it done but kept putting it off. With time running out he got the workbook done on deadline day.
Green Day was playing at DTE Energy Music Theatre (old Pine Knob) later that week. When I bought the tickets I didn't know it was a school night. I always forget that school starts so early in August. But he had met my challenge and I was compelled to follow through on my end of the deal.
We have a saying in our house: when I say I'm going to do something it will happen. So I did what any honorable dad would do in this situation. I took him out of school at lunch, drove four hours one way, went to a nearly three hour energy packed show and drove home pumped full of Venom energy drink. He got two hours of sleep and went to school wearing his filthy $38 concert t-shirt the next day. In the words of Dewey Finn, "Well you're not hardcore unless you live hard core."

Asian Art:
Figure of the goddess Lhamo Densatil Buddhist Monastery, Central Tibet. 15th century. Bronze. 2001.19.1. Ester R. Portnow Collection of Asian Art, a Gift of the Nathan Rubin-Ida Ladd Family Foundation.
Like Durga of the Hindu tradition, also included in this exhibition, Lhamo is one of the most terrifying figures of the Buddhist world. Also like Durga, she was armed by the gods--dice determining the lives of humans; a lion; a hammer; a snake, which is here coiled upon her stomach; a sword, which here she holds in her right arm; and her vehicle, the mule, upon which she is seated. She wears a garland and crown of skulls to symbolize the illusions which she has destroyed. Legend has it that she killed her own son because of her husband's refusal to convert to Buddhism, and fled northward through Tibet, Mongolia, and China, eventually to settle in Siberia.
It is important to remember here that Lhamo is terrifying because she is the Great Protectress of the school of Mahayana Buddhism. Her actions are based on the deepest insight and her ferociousness transforms the world. A meditator would focus on Lhamo's ability to change delusional anger into an enlightened power to act.
A gift in honor of Anthony G. Hirschel, whose interest, encouragement, and support were vital to the development of the Ester R. Portnow Collection, the galleries in which it is housed, and its integration with University courses.

I am pretty sure I punched him once with the abyssal and missiled him once with the zepplin (and I think I decoyed with the zepplin, because I like to play it safe)
vs Xu'fu (tiger, 3rd ability is a claw w/massive heal) I used the "classic" burst team - Val'Kyr (unholy ascension), Pandaren Water Spirit (Geyser, Whirlpool, dies before Water Jet casts), Chrominius (Howl, Surge of Power)
vs Chi-Chi I ran out of time before the server restart, I screwed up too many times to win in time. He always starts with his tranquility (heal over 2 turns) then an attack (his only attack is a 1-2 shot elemental, with +1 attack if he's faster, which he is) then his evade (100% chance to dodge for the turn it's cast on). He doesn't always cast Tranquility when it's available, but he always uses his dodge when it's available (so far as I've seen).

Andretti Autosport signs Viso
Andretti Autosport will have a four-car lineup this season with E.J. Viso joining the IndyCar team.
Viso's addition, announced Thursday, is a joint effort between Andretti and HVM Racing. The partnership allows HVM Racing to continue its participation in IndyCar in a business role while anticipating a potential return to competition in 2014.
The Keith Wiggins-owned HVM team was not planning on racing in IndyCar this season, but holds one of the coveted series-subsidizing Leader's Circle bonuses.
"We are happy to welcome E.J. to the team and to again be running four cars," said team owner Michael Andretti. "He has shown speed in his early years as a driver which we view as very promising, and his personality will lend well to the overall chemistry of the drivers and crew. I'd like to thank Keith and HVM for their assistance in this project."
Viso joins a lineup that includes defending IndyCar champion Ryan Hunter-Reay, James Hinchcliffe and Mario Andretti. Viso will drive the No. 5 Team Venezuela PDVSA Chevrolet, bringing the Team Venezuela sponsorship with him that he's used throughout his career.
He is Team Venezuela's premiere racer, and the only Latino-born driver currently racing full time in the IndyCar series.
"I have been following E.J.'s career for quite some time and was able to help him get his start in racing 22 years ago," said Team Venezuela founder Vicente Tralci. "It's an honor to be able to bring this opportunity to him and to pair with Andretti Autosport. It has always been our dream to be partnered with a team of such high reputation or results."
Viso, a native of Caracas, Venezuela, is entering his sixth season in IndyCar. He drove for KV Racing Technologies last season, and has 16 career top-10 finishes.
"I could not ask for more than to get the opportunity to drive for a championship team while representing my country," Viso said. "After five years in the series I believe I have found the right environment and look forward to having Ryan, James and Marco as teammates. I'm very proud to be able to move into the 2013 season with this new relationship; it's a dream come true."
Andretti Autosport went from four cars to three following the 2011 season, and the addition of Viso makes it the largest organization in IndyCar. Andretti plans to field five cars in the Indianapolis 500, two full-time Firestone Indy Lights entries, two full-time Pro Mazda Championship entries and entries in the USF2000 Championship powered by Mazda.
Andretti Autosport is the only team that fields cars at each level of the Mazda Road to Indy ladder.

Bryan, when is your wife giving you this special treat? Maybe we can plan a Cumming Out party... Love the video great to have three or four bodies all enjoying each other, love to find a couple to have fun with like this, If You haven't had fun like this you have to give it a try. Great having four lusty bodies having fun not worried about who is pleasing who. I'd suck or fuck any of them... guy or gal.
never sucked cock, but wife and i plan to share a blow job. can't wait. she promised me the cum shot.
i agree so hot i'm here any couple from italy
I'm starting to see a formula here. One guy, well-endowed, and uses it well. One twink, with less impressive equipment (which is often less than serviceable) One girl, with strap-on to fuck the twink with. I have to say though that the DP scene on the stairs is a great idea... totally solves the height adjustment problem!

This particular scene is from a place very near my father's house and the memorial bench for his late wife. He himself has taken many similar photographs of this beautiful spot. I love this photograph. I had hoped that having it printed on wood would give it additional depth and character. Unfortunately, the wood grain obscures many areas of the image. I regret not simply having it printed on canvas or having a regular framed print made.
The sun comes up over the lake bringing glorkious color.
I've been interested in art all my life. Colors, forms,techniques of bringing three dimensional life to painting, all these have been exciting. But the main achievement in art is to relate to the viewer. Images are powerful, and often bring new understandings to both the artist and viewer. Beginining as a young man in high school, I took correspondence courses. The workday world, in which I was a supervisor at General Motors, left little time to pursue my interest. As a father of three, that interest took precedence over art. I did study art whenever time allowed. After I retired, I studied at LaFarge, and at Elder Hostel courses. When I moved to Nevada eight years ago, I attended art courses for...

Nevada residents may see robot cars on their streets in a couple of days. On March 1, self-driving — aka "autonomous" — cars will be able to drive on the state's roads.
The state's Legislative Commission approved the new regulations Feb. 15, Nevada's Department of Motor Vehicles said in a release.
"Nevada is the first state to embrace what is surely the future of automobiles," DMV Director Bruce Breslow said in the release.
For now, the cars will be allowed on the road for testing purposes. The regulations spell out the requirements companies need to test their vehicles in Nevada as well as requirements for residents to legally operate them in the future. The state is working with companies to develop licensing procedures for companies that want to test their driverless vehicles in Nevada, Breslow added.
The state's DMV partnered with Google, automobile manufacturers, testing professionals, insurance companies, universities and law enforcement to create the regulations and try to ensure road safety.
Google received a patent for its driverless car system late last year. The company has been testing it with the Toyota Prius, but the system can be installed on any vehicle, Mashable reported.
Last July, the state enacted a law requiring the DMV to adopt regulations for authorizing autonomous vehicles on its highways. The law came after Google hired a lobbyist to advance the legislation, GCN reported.
"Self-driving cars have the potential to significantly increase driving safety," a Google spokesperson told Mashable. Tom Jacobs, chief public information officer at the Nevada DMV, described the driverless system as "cruise control on steroids," Mashable reported.
Google also has been testing the cars in California.
Currently, the cars require two operators in the car, even though they drive themselves. The vehicles will have a red license plate to distinguish them from standard cars. When the technology has been approved for public use and the cars can be safely operated with a single driver, the vehicles will get green license plates.
However, policy-makers and regulators are concerned that the technology is advancing too quickly for current law, some of which goes back to the era of horse-drawn carriages, the New York Times reported last year. New laws are required to address safety and liability issues that could crop up.
Others are concerned that Nevada's autonomous car law could stifle innovation. "Under some interpretations of the bill, cars with computers that automatically engage brakes may constitute a robotic car and thus need to go through further red tape before the general public can drive them," Aaron Saenz writes at Singularity Hub.
Several other states have pending bills regarding autonomous vehicles, including Hawaii, Oklahoma and Florida.

Due to the Litigious nature of the US, liability will be the technologies greatest hurdle. Hopefully sanity will prevail.
Just the thought of having the luxury of ultilizing my time while sitting in traffic just like taking the bus but with the convenience of having my own car available anytime I want/need makes me want to have one right now (if I can afford it). However, not knowing anything about how these autonomous cars operate (or can be operated), my first legal question is if an autonomous car is found at fault in an auto accident, whether by itself or with other cars, should the owner or the car manufacturer be responsible?
Hmmm - my mind went immediatley "back" to this morning's post on Kinect for windows and "gesture recognition"...
We fly UAVs why not?

Show courage and back changes, Ed Miliband tells unions
Ed Miliband has urged unions to have "the courage to change", as he attempts to persuade them to back an overhaul of the way Labour is funded.
Several unions have attacked the Labour leader over his plans to remove the automatic payment of fees by millions of their members to the party.
But Mr Miliband told the TUC that this "historic" change would strengthen his chances at the general election.
He also predicted Labour's membership could swell to more than 500,000.
Mr Miliband and several union leaders have disagreed during this week's annual TUC meeting in Bournemouth about his plans to change the way the party's funding works.
However BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said the speech was not a "leadership defining bust-up with the unions", with Mr Miliband stressing areas of agreement - such as living standards, zero hour contracts and wages.
'My vision'
The Labour leader wants to abolish the automatic affiliation fee paid each year by about three million union members to Labour.
Instead he proposes giving people the choice of "opting in" - becoming full Labour members - when they join a Labour-supporting union.
Mr Miliband acknowledges this will cost money, but argues it will expand his party and increase activism.
One union leader accused him of "living in cloud cuckoo land", while others have also voiced concerns.
But Labour front bencher Chuka Umunna told BBC Radio 4's The World at One the party was willing to risk financial harm "because it's the right thing to do".
The proposed changes follow a row over allegations that the Unite union tried to rig the Labour choice of a candidate for the Falkirk seat at the next general election. An investigation by Labour has found no evidence of wrongdoing, emboldening his critics.
Ahead of his speech, Mr Miliband told ITV's Daybreak "we are going to get these changes through", adding that Labour's internal structures were "old-fashioned" and had to change.
Labour MP John McDonnell said the row had bolstered the power of the unions who now had six months to make demands of the party.
In his speech, delivered to a subdued audience, Mr Miliband said: "We have three million working men and women affiliated to our party. But the vast majority play no role in our party.
"They are affiliated in name only. That wasn't the vision of the founders of our party. I don't think it's your vision either. And it's certainly not my vision.
"That's why I want to make each and every affiliated trade union member a real part of their local party, making a real choice to be a part of our party so they can have a real voice in it."
Mr Miliband added: "This is an historic opportunity to begin bringing people back into the decisions which affect their lives.
"It means we could become a Labour Party not of 200,000 people, but 500,000, or many more. A party rooted in every kind of workplace in the country, a party rooted in every community in the country, a genuine living, breathing movement."
'Oozes contempt'
The Labour leader called his plan a "massive challenge" but said: "It is you who have been telling me year after year about a politics that is detached from the lives of working people. We need to build a party truly rooted in the lives of all the working people of Britain once more.
During his speech, Mr Miliband attacked the Conservatives, accusing David Cameron of showing "contempt" for working people.
He said: "We have a prime minister who writes you and your members off, who doesn't just write you off, but oozes contempt for you from every pore. What does he say about you? He says your members are a 'threat to our economy'. Back to 'the enemy within'.
"Six and a half million people in Britain who teach our children, who look after the sick, who care for the elderly, who build our homes, who keep our shops open morning, noon and night. They're not the enemy within. They're the people who make Britain what it is.
"How dare he? How dare he insult people, members of trades unions as he does? How dare he write off whole sections of our society?"
Dinner speech
Mr Miliband repeated the slogan he first used at last year's Labour conference, of his party being the UK's "one nation party".
But he faces a difficult task to persuade leaders of several of the major unions that his proposed changes are justified.
Paul Kenny of the GMB - which has cut its funding for the party by £1.2m a year - mocked the plans as looking as if they had been made up "after a night out".
Unite general secretary Len McCluskey warned at fringe meeting: "Our Labour leadership has to start demonstrating they are on the side of ordinary working people."
But Dave Prentis of Unison said the squabbling and "infighting" had to stop, or people would not vote Labour in 2015.
And the TUC general secretary, Frances O'Grady, used her speech to the Congress on Monday to ask union activists to "roll up their sleeves" and influence Labour's policies, while opposing the Conservatives.
Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps said: "Instead of taking on the unions, Ed Miliband has buckled under pressure. He's backed down over Falkirk, backed down over serious reforms to the union link.
'While Ed Miliband is spending his time trying to soothe his biggest paymasters, we're dealing with the deficit, controlling immigration and fixing the welfare system to help hardworking people."
