10 biggest funds: How they stack up
For all but a single star performer, first-half performance wasn't worth bragging about. But investors should consider more than performance over a 6-month period.
One-half of a strange year is in the books, and for all the economic drama, returns on most U.S.-stock mutual funds were tightly bunched around the mid-single digits -- with one happy exception.
While I think it's useful to understand what happened at the largest actively managed stock funds in the year's first half, you don't want to lose perspective. The surest way to wreck a portfolio is to make decisions based on short-term performance.
You judge a manager by his or her entire record, not by one six-month stretch. All evidence suggests that the long term is what matters. Please read the analyses to get Morningstar's take on whether each fund is a worthy investment.
Health care, real estate and utilities were the best sectors in the first half of 2011, while financials, natural resources and technology were duds. In terms of fund style, small growth and mid growth fared best, while small value and large growth were laggards.
Overall, the first half wasn't all that glorious for the following 10 giants, listed largest to smallest. Three were in the top quartile, but one was in the bottom quartile and two were just barely above it.
1. American Funds Growth Fund of America (AGTHX)-- 4.6% return, rank 69 (1=best and 100=worst)
A sizable overweighting of financials such as Citigroup (C, news) and Wells Fargo (WFC, news) led to a sluggish first half for the biggest actively managed stock fund. It didn't help that it had Google (GOOG, news) and Microsoft (MSFT, news) among other top holdings. (Microsoft owns and publishes MSN Money.)
The fund has nine managers, plus it hands a stake to the firm's analysts. So, for a stock to make it into the top holdings, at least a couple of managers would have to be on board.
As a side note, many shareholders are voting with their feet; this fund's $9.5 billion in year-to-date outflows is the largest of any fund.
2. Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX)-- 4.4% return, rank 72
Manager William Danoff has a third of the portfolio in tech, but he's been light on health care. So, it wasn't an ideal sector stance for the year's first half.
But the most interesting part of the tech story is that Danoff bought stakes in Facebook and Groupon ahead of their initial public offerings. Given the limited supply of shares, both stakes represent small slivers of the fund. Still, Danoff isn't one to pass up a stock that can boost performance, even if just by a small amount.
Danoff doesn't write off smaller and less-liquid positions just because they can't be a big part of this $80 billion fund on their own. In the past he's bought baskets of small- or mid-cap names in a particular industry he wants exposure to.
3. American Funds Investment Company of America (AIVSX)-- 3.9% return, rank 83
Management was right to underweight financials, but a technology overweighting and a health care underweighting have held the fund back. Like their brethren at American Funds Growth Fund of America, the seven managers here have been stung by Microsoft and Google, and they also have shares of laggard Hewlett-Packard (HPQ, news).
4. American Funds Fundamental Investors A (ANCFX)-- 6.1% return, 32 rank
All right! Our first outperformer. The fund was nicely underweight financials and technology. Also on the plus side, management has done well with tobacco supplier Philip Morris International (PM, news), medical products developer Basic Energy Services (BAS, news) and drug-maker Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY, news) -- now that's playing both sides of the street.
The fund also had the modest benefit of having the biggest foreign-stock weighting of our top 10 -- 22% of assets. Nearly all of that was in Europe. Despite the Hellenic tragedy, European stocks performed a little better than U.S. stocks in the first half of 2011.
5. American Funds Washington Mutual A (AWSHX)-- 8.1% return, 14 rank
This is America's most dividend-oriented fund, and that's made it a good spot to be in this year. Stakes in such oil majors as Chevron (CVX, news) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, news) led to solid results, as did exposure to some big telecom companies.
6. Dodge & Cox Stock (DODGX)-- 6.3% return, 34 rank
Being overweight in health care and technology has been a mixed bag. Drug-makers Pfizer (PFE, news) and Sanofi-Aventis (SNY, news) helped, but tech titan Hewlett-Packard hurt.
All three are good representatives of Dodge's value style. The fund favors companies with strong positions but shares that are cheap because they seem to be at a low, cyclical ebb.
Dodge bets on a comeback and figures the low valuations will provide some downside protection if the bet is wrong.
7. Fidelity Growth Company (FDGRX)-- 10.2% return, 3 rank
Steven Wymer's fund is the star performer of our group of 10, with a double-digit gain for the first six months of the year. Wymer got there by taking on more risk than any other fund on the list, and it paid off.
The closed fund sports names, such as apparel maker Lululemon Athletica (LULU, news), software supplier Salesforce.com (CRM, news), Linux distributor Red Hat (RHT, news) and drug-maker Alexion Pharmaceuticals (ALXN, news), that you won't see in the other portfolios.
Not surprisingly, the fund also led this group of giants in the snapback year of 2009. Wymer buys smaller, faster-growing companies than you'll find in the other funds here.
8. Vanguard Windsor II (VWNFX)-- 6.9% return, 26 rank
Lead manager Jim Barrow plays an extreme version of the Dodge & Cox strategy. He likes stuff that's really cheap and really battered. Yet interestingly, he's got some of the same names you'll find in the Dodge & Cox fund, such as Pfizer. You know Pfizer has fallen a long way when the former growth darling makes it into Barrow's portfolio.
9. Fidelity Low-Priced Stock (FLPSX)-- 8.6% return, 22 rank
Joel Tillinghast was in the middle of the mid-blend pack at the end of May, but then the market hit an air pocket. He finished the first half in the top quartile, because his defensive strategy tends to lose less in down markets.
As usual, it's an eclectic group of names that pushed this 800-stock portfolio to outperformance. Names such as insurer UnitedHealth Group (UNH, news) and fashion accessories provider Fossil (FOSL, news) led the charge.
10. Vanguard Primecap (VPMCX)-- 5.5% return, 54 rank
The growth stalwarts at this closed fund are having a middling year despite a big health care bet. While Biogen Idec (BIIB, news) has been a big winner, names such as Amgen (AMGN, news) and Roche (RHHBY, news) have been dull. Moreover, this is another fund that sustained that one-two punch from Google and Microsoft.

For Frodo, there were over 150 auditions. Jake Gyllenhaal (who is over six feet tall) was one but apparently Jackson and all really wanted a British actor. Elijah Wood sent in a home made audition tape that blew him away. Dominic Monaghan originally auditioned for the roll of Frodo and would otherwise have been cast in it instead of as Merry.
Numerous actors were considered for Aragorn. Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicholas Cage, and Russell Crowe were all approached but (thankfully) all turned the offer down. Stuart Townsend was originally cast but was unable to portray the character in the desired way (which is no surprise since he was less than thirty at the time), so Viggo was offered the role and was given less than two hours to respond. Fortunately he said yes.
Patrick Stewart and Sam Neil were considered for Gandalf. Jackson was very interested in having Sean Connery play a part, which the latter reports was Gandalf (though apparently it was actually Theoden… shows you how much the guy cared). He rejected it because he didn't understand the plot or script. Jackson was also interested in having Tom Baker (the fourth Doctor in Doctor Who) take the role, but in the end Ian McKellen it was.
Orlando Bloom originally auditioned for Faramir but was offered Legolas instead. David Wenham was chosen for Faramir because of the slight resemblance to Sean Bean, who'd been cast as Boromir. Speaking of Boromir, Bruce Willis was very interested in the role but was rejected.
Finally, David Bowie really wanted to play Elrond. Of it Jackson said, "To have a famous, beloved character and a famous star colliding is slightly uncomfortable". And, while Bowie's filmography list is substantial, he did have a reputation for campy, cult films that weren't to be taken all too seriously. Therefor, the younger Hugo Weaving was cast as the elf lord of Rivendell.
Wow.. Reading this.. Lord of the rings could have been really shithouse!!!
wow, I did not know this at all. Good to know Lotr turned out as perfectly as it did (especially Frodo… :D)

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) -- Tunisian authorities are putting property confiscated from ousted Tunisian dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali up for auction. That includes a pair of miniature gold sphinxes, a diamond-encrusted pen and a staggering 39 luxury cars.
Officials hope the sale, which was inaugurated by Tunisia's Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali in Tunis Saturday, will fetch some 20 million dinar ($12.9 million) for the state.
One of the rarities up for grabs is a super-pricy Mercedes that belonged to Ben Ali's nephew. Mohammed Lassaad Hamayed of Tunisia's confiscation committee calls the car "a handmade gem made of carbon fibers that costs more than EUR2 million ($2.6 million)."
He says "only Mohamed VI (the King of Morocco) has a similar one."
Ben Ali was ousted by a popular uprising in January 2011.

What is Spina Bifida?
Know the facts of this common birth defect
Defining Spina Bifida
Spina bifida is a neural tube defect that occurs early in pregnancy, often before a woman even realizes she is pregnant. At some point during this time in the embryo's development, the neural tube (which develops into the brain, spinal cord, and vertebral column) fails to form properly, leaving the spinal cord exposed. The result is varying degrees of paralysis and loss of sensation.
Severity Factors
The severity of spina bifida is dependent upon two factors. The first is where along the spine the defect is located. The second is whether the child experiences symptoms of paralysis and loss of sensation above or below the affected area.
To understand both factors, it's helpful to know that the spine is divided into three sections. The top is the cervical (neck) area, which is comprised of the upper seven vertebrae in the spine. Lesions in this area often do not cause paralysis. Below that are the 12 vertebrae that comprise the thoracic region (around the ribs). After that are the five lumbar vertebrae of the lower back. Last are the fused vertebrae of the sacrum and coccyx. Generally, the higher the lesion, the more severe the symptoms, so a child with L-3 spina bifida has a lesion on the third lumbar vertebrae. A child with T-5 has a lesion on the fifth thoracic vertebrae and, thus, a more severe case. Sometimes multiple vertebrae are affected.
As for functionality, that depends upon the highest level where paralysis and/or lack of sensation occur. For example, a child may have an L-5 lesion, but function as an L-1 because that's where the paralysis begins. In other words, it's not an exact science, and there's no way to conclusively categorize any child until they are old enough to have measurable motor skills.
Other issues with spina bifida can be even more challenging to deal with. Usually, even in the mildest cases of spina bifida, there is loss of bowel and bladder control. As a result, the bladder is emptied through catheterization. Until a child learns to do the procedure, he or she has to rely on others.
In addition, most children with spina bifida also develop hydrocephalus, which results when cerebral spinal fluid builds up inside the head and causes pressure in the brain. These children are operated on shortly after birth to have a shunt placed in their brain to help drain the fluid, but this doesn't correct damage that has already been done. Thus, children with spina bifida can be prone to learning disabilities and, as they get older, have difficulty with organization and time management issues.

Weirdest theft ever
As I got into my car last night the first time after I got back from India, I felt something was amiss. Scared, I looked around — the car seemed alright, the locks were in place, the stereo was there, the A/C was there. But as I looked around more, I found small little things missing here and there. I'm now almost convinced that there was a theft, but what is disturbing is the stuff that was stolen. Here's my list so far:
* CD visor //with// all my recorded CDs **arghh!!**
* Car freshener (A/C clip on. The refills are there, though)
* Sun screen shield
* A pair of //old, broken// shoes from the trunk
* A brand new tent (again, from the trunk) :-(
* Motorola car phone charger
Thankfully, none of the really critical stuff (documents, music system) were tampered with. I'm having a really hard time figuring out what could have happened. It seems that one seat belt on the rear seat was messed with. My roomie tells me no one took the keys behind my back. When I came, the car was locked and all the windows were closed. What kind of thief would pick out all this weird stuff? Maybe he just ran out of time, who knows.
Anyways, I'm a bit disappointed by the loss of my new tent and the CDs (the shoes, less so). I just hope the thief doesn't come back for more. In the mean time I'm going to strip down my car of any expensive stuff and start thinking about beefing up the security somehow.
**Update**: I think I see the pattern now. Basically all of the "loose" stuff (that is, stuff that the thief could just grab and run without having to yank/unscrew anything) was stolen. Of that stuff, things he/she didn't find use for (like documents), were left behind. Given the shoes that were stolen, my guess is that its a he. Rot in hell you sucker!
Spoilt a perfectly good saturday!

My CravingI want to feel their skin against mine, i want to feel that lusting urge again, i want to feel their hands exploring my body, touching me down there tugging at me here and there
bubbblegum 18-21, F 1 Response 1 Jan 19, 2013
...making me elicit soft moans;gutteral at times as I lean my body more into thiers. Giving them easier access to the parts of they want to explore, caress, stroke, and ravage. Is it lust? Is it passion? A mixture of each perhaps, NO! it's desire.. I have the need to be desired and the wantingness to be desired. A hunger. A hunger to desire them as well. To have them make me thiers while i make them mine. A loud moan escapes my lips.Louder this time , and with more urgency. And some other words I don't remember. Ahh.... afterglow, lingering...all is well.

Spinach & Lemon Soup With Orzo
So did you raise an eyebrow at the name of this soup? I did!! :)
One of my friends actually posted the recipe on Facebook this month. And since she's a fantastic cook and recommended it, I decided it was worth a try. Figured the combination sounded good for a pasta… so why not a soup?
Happy to report I was more than pleasantly surprised! I ended up making a half batch, and it was remarkably simple and speedy to pull together. And the flavors worked well together (no worries – not too lemon-y or spinach-y). But my new discovery with this recipe was the use of egg as a thickener! Apparently this technique of mixing beaten eggs and lemon juice (avgolemono) is well-known and used by our friends in Greece, but this was my first time trying it. Remarkable!! When added to the broth, it instantly thickened the soup, and gave it this beautiful creamy texture. Very fun – will definitely be trying it again soon.
So if you're looking for something new to try in the new year, broaden your horizons and give this soup a try! Tres delicious. :)
Spinach & Lemon Soup With Orzo
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed or minced
- 1 large onion
- 1 tsp. red pepper flakes (or more, depending on your taste)
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 1 (10 oz.) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained of excess water
- 1 1/2 cups orzo
- 8 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 4 eggs
- Juice of 3 lemons (feel free to add this gradually to taste)
- fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (to serve)
- freshly-grated Parmesan (to serve)
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven. Cook the garlic and onion over medium heat until fragrant and slightly translucent. Turn the heat to medium high and add the red pepper flakes, spinach, and orzo. Cook for about a minute, then add the broth.
Bring to a light simmer, then turn the heat down and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the orzo is just barely tender. Take the soup off the heat and let it cool down for a moment or two.
Whisk eggs vigorously in a largish bowl, then whisk in the lemon juice. Whisk for a couple minutes; the mixture should be thick, pale yellow, and creamy. Add a small ladleful of the soup broth to the eggs and whisk vigorously. (If you want to be really sure not to curdle the eggs, take a ladle of soup and cool it a bit before tempering the eggs.) Whisk in two more ladles of soup broth, whisking each well and letting them cool.
Add the egg mixture to the soup pot, whisking very well. Return to very low heat, stirring the whole time. Cook carefully over low heat until the soup has thickened slightly. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and Parmesan if desired.
Ali's Tip:
As my friend suggested, feel free to use fresh spinach in this as well. In place of the 10 oz frozen package, just use about 2 cups of chopped, packed fresh spinach.

What? How did I miss that we're missing Holy Wrath? I didn't realise it but that's fantastic. I mean, it was a cool spell, but the damage wasn't really worth the GCD in our rotation. It was most useful glyphed. Gave us an extra stun on Rag's Sons of Flame. I'm glad (Retadins) have Hammer of the Righteous now, so that helps us fill a bit more of an AoE role. Divine Storm was useless on fights with 2-3 mobs.
Didn't they data-mine some glyphs that affected our mounts too? I saw one that automatically casts Blessing of Kings on anyone who gets on a Paladin mount. Not sure where they're going with that, but sounds exciting. Is it ANY of the Paladin's mounts (like my recently acquired Vial of the Sands: "Ride me for a free blessing!") Or are we getting multi-person class mounts? Still new and fun glyphs is great great great news.
One thing I haven't really seen more of is what's happening with our Seals/Auras. The talent calculator shows Auras gone, Heart of the Crusader is our CA as a passive skill. So are they still making our Seals work like our Aura bar finally? I always forget to recast my Seals when I get battle-rezzed. The quick-change Seals approach that they promised long ago is finally going to be implemented I hope.
HotR is still a prot-only spec ability.
Whether this is your mistake or not, I'm surprised how many people don't realize the whole class vs spec spellbook thing going on. Most people I've talked to who say the new talent trees suck say it because they don't realize 90% the spells that used to be in talent trees are just given to you when you spec.

Ret paladins get HotR at lvl20.

Oh and Holy Wrath is still in there even if its not on the official spell list, at least my Prot Paladin has it on the beta. Its got a new icon thats looks like the Seal of Truth one.

Three kinds of strategy
When people ask about the kind of consulting work I do, I often describe it as business, brand, and marketing strategy. These three kinds of strategy are separate but related. Doing any one in isolation produces an inferior result. Business strategy, without thought about how it comes to life in people's hearts and minds, tends to be a PowerPoint deck that…

I used to screen cap things for no reason. May, 2002, Lucky Mckee, Angela Bettis .
Small teaser for my work on Geno, 5th born and only boy in the series. He should be complete by weeks end.
I've been working on the next doll in the series for two months now. She's taking longer than I want but she looks really, really great. This isn't her. This is the next in the series in the very early stages of his development. Meet Geno, my only boy.
Dicey and Forgot are the best of friends. She's been making LOTS of new friends lately. Little whore.
Waiting with baited breath to see this film….
A doll on my front steps from 1968. I love this for various reasons.
Melba. 2nd Born. Brat. Her sisters are jealous of her frivolous nature.
Velora. Third in the series. Haven't posted Melba (the 2nd) yet.
This is Aloysius. She was made as a gift for a friend who almost didn't take her home because she said she was too creepy. I don't think she's THAT creepy but I took it as a compliment regardless.
This is Edith. She was an accident but loved as if she were planned from her conception.

This isn't quite the sneaky hate spiral, the one which Allie Brosh describes so brilliantly on Hyperbole and a Half. This is something else. Entirely.
In recent years I'd say that I've managed to knock a lot of my self-loathy behaviour on the head. But every now and again, I wake up feeling like I am the worst person to ever have existed. I'm terrible and everyone knows it etc.
Sometimes I can even wake up feeling fine, happy almost, and then at some point in the day lurch frantically into this evil state of unadulterated rage.
What's a classic trait of this state of mind is that I can't say what it is that's making me feel so terrible. I feel bad, and I have no explanation as to why that is. Which, in itself, makes me feel more upset.
Generally, I try to hide feelings crappiness, but even a minor set back (in any capacity) seems to open a floodgate of anger fuelled by a back-catalogue of negative thoughts from my life so far. It looks a little something like this:
Stage 1 – A Minor Setback:
Stage 2 – Irrational Feelings of Anger and Rage:
Stage 3 – Self-Loathing:
Stage 4 – Crying:
Er… No illustration needed.
When I'm not falling out with printers or other bits of technology, I'm punishing myself for other minor mishaps. The other night for example, I found a tasty looking recipe (complete with mouth-watering picture next to it) in a book and decided to give it a go. Despite my best efforts, however, the end result did not, by any means, mirror the appetising delights in the picture. Immediately after sitting down to consume it I found myself yelling "THIS FOOD IS DOGSHIT" because honestly, that's what it looked like.
Worse still, whenever I'm in a total funk this way, people seem to collect around me, more so than usual. They're everywhere – popping up left and right with their smiles and polite conversations and telephone calls. And I know it isn't them, it's me being angry. I know that they're merely existing, and I'm merely existing and we're all just existing together. But their existence somehow fuels my feelings of irritability. Therefore, anyone who even so much takes an inhalation of breath within a five mile radius of where I am, is subject to endless sighs, tuts and aggressive rolls of the eyes by yours truly.
Ironically, less than a week prior to my stonking rage festival, I had attended a training course on building confidence and learning the power of positive thinking. I really felt as though I was feeling the benefits too, until the end of the week rapidly transformed into the beginning of the week and for whatever reason, I woke up feeling like a failure and hated everything.
Sometimes, to clear up these weird feelings that seem to appear from nowhere, I just need a good cry, or a long sleep or a massive piece of cake. Eventually my brain shifts back into gear and all the hating flows back into whatever dark abyss it came out of in the first place.
Afterwards, when I'm wringing out my pillows, and wiping the smears of chocolate cake off my bed sheets, I feel a quite stupid about it all. I have this feeling of 'Seriously, what was I so upset about?' and I still can't really figure it out. And while I'm being honest, I also still feel a bit of resentment towards printers.

New Verification Academy Advanced OVM (&UVM) Module
I've always loved the Chinese proverb, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Yet, why merely settle for fish when you can have sushi! My point is, to remain strategically relevant in today's competitive landscape, it is necessary to constantly reinvent ourselves and evolve our technical skills. To that end, we have created the Verification Academy to help you evolve your advanced functional verification skills.
Since we launched the Verification Academy, we have had numerous requests for training on the Open Verification Methodology (OVM). Hence, in February we launched a new module titled Basic OVM that has been received with overwhelming enthusiasm. It's currently our top viewed module. The Basic OVM module consists of 2.5 hours of content, and is divided into eight 20-minute sessions. The module is primarily aimed at existing VHDL and Verilog engineers who recognize they have a functional verification problem, but have little or know experience with constrained-random verification or object-oriented programming. Our goal for releasing the Basic OVM module is to raise your skill level to the point where you have sufficient confidence in your own technical understanding. In turn, you will have the confidence required to start the process of adopting advanced functional verification techniques.
This month, we are excited to announce the next step in evolving your Open Verification Methodology skills. Our new module is titled Advanced OVM (&UVM) and provides a higher level of OVM understanding beyond what is presented in our previously released Basic OVM module. What's particularly exciting about this release is that we are addressing the numerous requests from you concerning advanced functional verification and creating contemporary testbenchesusing the OVM. The Advanced OVM module is presented by our own subject matter expert, Tom Fitzpatrick, who has been a driving force behind the OVM development and standardization. Tom is one of my favorite technical presenters. He is both informative and entertaining, so I'm sure you will really enjoy our new Advanced OVM module.
Now, as shown in Table 1, the Verification Academy covers a wide variety of topics, which enables you to start evolving your advanced functional verification skills.
Table 1. Verification Academy Modules
|Module Name
Number of
Evolving Capabilities
|This module provides a framework for all the modules within the Verification Academy, while introducing a tool for assessing and improving an organization's advanced functional verification capability
Assertion-Based Verification
|This module provides a comprehensive introduction to ABV techniques, include an introduction to SystemVerilog Assertions
CDC Verification
|This module provides an understanding of the clock-domain crossing problem, in terms of metastability and reconvergence, and then introduces verification solutions
FPGA Verification
|This module, although targeted at FPGA engineers, provides an excellent introduction to anyone interested in learning various functional verification techniques
Basic OVM
|This module provides a step-by-step introduction to the basics of OVM
Advanced OVM
|This module provides the next level of understanding beyond the skills introduced in the Basic OVM module
Another exciting announcement is that we have added a language capture option to most (and eventually all) Verification Academy modules. The language options include: Chinese Simplified and Traditional, Japanese and Russian.
In the next few weeks we have another exciting announcement related to the Verification Academy. Stay tuned!
I would like to encourage you to check out all our new and existing content at the Verification Academy by visiting www.verificationacademy.com.

Linsey Davis/Eyewitness News
Indianapolis, April 12 - Eighteen-year-old Joshua Miner left court without comment or explanation Tuesday morning. But ultimately, just like the memorial at the downtown Indianapolis canal and the hundreds of hearts that saw it, his silence will be broken.
"That's why we have a judicial system and I think it will be a fair process," says memorial designer Eric Fulford.
Until the roughly $10,000 repair is made, there are no longer 3,460 Medal of Honor recipients listed at the canal, and police say its because of Miner.
He has been charged with criminal mischief for allegedly breaking the glass panel at the Congressional Medal of Honor Monument two weeks ago.
Fulford adds, "We do our job, which is to design a memorial and try to take into account that vandalism could occur and how we can set up a memorial in such a way it can be repaired somewhat quickly. That's part of the reason there are so many panels there."
Police say Miner told them he threw a handful of rocks at the monument then "freaked out" when it shattered.
"You'd really have to be directed to break a glass panel," says Fulford. "It's quite a strong piece of glass. It will break cause glass does break, but you'd really have to apply some force and you'd really have to be intending on trying to do damage."
Clearly intentional, graffiti was spray painted around the monument the same night. Police believe the cases are unrelated and hope to have more suspects in a Marion County courtroom soon.
Indianapolis Power and Light Company received $12,000 in contributions to repair the monument. The company estimates it will be fixed in about three weeks, some time before Memorial Day.
Miner is scheduled to appear in court on the morning of May 17 for his initial hearing.

Occur in bays and estuaries, but more commonly in deep offshore waters (Ref. 9563). Inhabit sandy substrates. Juveniles feed mainly on crustaceans such as copepods and mysidaceans, whereas larger fishes (11-20 cm) consume more polychaetes (Ref. 6223). Sexually mature below 13 cm SL and rarely exceeds 17 cm in Western Australia. Oviparous (Ref. 205), multiple spawner with asynchronous development (Ref. 12343). The flesh is soft and trawled fish are frequently bruised (Ref. 6205).

This was excellent. I followed the recipe exactly, except I used chicken breast instead of chicken cutlets. Since I used chicken breast, I had to cook the chicken covered for about 10 minutes instead of 5 minutes. I served this with Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Thyme from CookingLight. I will definitely make this again.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in 2 batches until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Wipe out the skillet and return to medium heat. Heat the remaining oil. Add the shallots and cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the olives, parsley, lemon juice, and wine and bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the pan, nestling it in the olives and shallots. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Divide among individual plates, spooning the olives, shallots, and any sauce over the top.

@Agent-Cooper I also hate fake african accents, so kinda wish they'd actually get an african to play him. But I guess you need someone famous
1 year agoby @phatalphdFlag
@Agent-Cooper yeah I know this. I just find denzel a far better actor, especially for an important role as Mendela. And Freeman played Mendela already. But hey maybe Idris will surprise me. I was purely going off the poster.
1 year agoby @phatalphdFlag
@phatalphd Idris Elba is a great actor and I'm sure he will do the role justice. Not every black man has to be played by either Denzel Washinton, Morgan Freeman or Will Smith..

Seems like this shouldve been Denzel. Idris just looks weird.

I canceled my driving test that was supposed to happen in a half hour. I would have failed and it would have been a waste of my 45 dollars. Frankly, I don't even see the point of me having a license now that I won't have a car at school, which is good, because who knows if I'll ever get my license this summer.
Of course, my mom wouldn't have made it home on time from her old boyfriend's (physically old) house to have us get there on time, so that's probably why she told me to cancel it.
The guy who was administering the test just called and he was super nice about it. Sigh.

Yeah, and for me it didn't help that the stitches tasted like stale Cheerios. It was pretty gross.
ugh. I keep getting flashbacks of the shots during the procedure. I had to have 4 shots to numb me up and even then I wasn't totally completely numb. the medicine is so gross aaaaghhh
on the bright side, I just saw the anton yelchin/john cho hug video and SO CUTE

I've had a tooth extracted, so I know how you feel (literally). Sending you virtual hugs!
our life is the same. thanks man! it's such a weird and scary thing. your mouth feels so empty
I'm still upset no one has pulled the "is that cross-hatching I detect?" joke on that picture of little Tom Felton coloring.
I'm sick pretty often, but this tooth extraction has taken a lot out of me. I'm terrified of something bad happening (dry socket, anyone?), exhausted, in pain, and hungry. I just
need really want someone to take care of me and that's not going to happen. Sighsauce.

Hi, my name is Bob.
I'm a National Park Service hydrologist at Big Cypress National Preserve who works in collaboration with Florida Gulf Coast University, the Big Cypress Basin arm of the South Florida Water Management District, and the multi-agency Big Cypress Watersheds Team.
Go Hydrology! is your daily passport into the inner realm of south Florida's water cycle and interconnected watersheds -- a narrative voice into the watery wilderness of aquatic south Florida.
I make no claim to knowing everything, just enough worth sharing.
The Blog
The blog part of Go Hydrology! is written around a dozen or so themes (or topics) as described below.
Rain Or Shine Report Come rain or shine, this is the weekly rainfall report ... or as is often the case in sunny Florida -- the lack thereof.
Vortex Into Water Data Get ready to high dive into a decades deep reservoir of water data. Watch out for the whirlpool!
Tales of the Water Cycle Every watershed has its yarns and legends, many of which are fun ... and some of which are actually true!
Sailing Uncharted Waters South Florida's peculiar water cycle is sometimes best understood by turning our hydrologic lens "outward" to other parts of Florida and "up continent."
Native Plant Photos The watershed is full of this amazing green stuff that a fellow botanist informed me were plants. This page features photographs about their interaction with the water cycle.
Ghosts of Watersheds Past The people may be gone and the places may have changed, but these signs still stand, silently, to tell their story.
Water In Motion The sound and sight of moving water is unmistakable. A water journal without it wouldn't be the same, not to mention just downright dry.
Ripple on Still Water There's lots to see in the swamps, and even more to photograph, both before and after.
Ye Olde Mudderland Everyone comes from somewhere, which in my case was "somewhere else," namely Maryland, or as I like to call it -- The Mudderland.
Tidal Undulations You can't live in Florida without wondering about the salty stuff at lands end. I'm not a marine biologist, but I frequently visit our local beaches and find lots to see.
Swampulator Have you ever been in the middle of the swamps and wondered how many Fenway Parks it would fill up? Me too! The Swampulator has all the buttons that a normal calculator lacks, but always wish it had.
Going with the Flow Water has a mind of its own, but it also always seems to know where its going. These posts try to do just that.
Safety Message Water can take a turn to the dangerous if you are not cautious. Remember to stay well hydrated and treat water and wildlife with respect in all its shapes and sizes.
Other Go Hydrology! Features
Go Hydrology! is more than just a blog.
It's also contains a slew of living maps and breathing hydrographs that bring the water to your fingertips. Simply click on the the Tabs at the top of the page (or the images below) to view them.
You'll be a watershed expert in no time flat!
The Mobile tab is specially coded to allow you to look at hydrologic data from the comfort of your smart phone, whether in the office or in the field.
The forecast tab features live radar, rainfall maps for the past 6-hr and 24-hr rainfall maps, animated satellite images, and the hurricane outlook.
The Rain Tab features Florida and national rainfall maps for the past 30 days, a look at the drought index, animated maps of annual precipitation patterns, and historical rain charts for south Florida.
The Air Tab features current temperature and heat index maps for the nation, daily high and low temperature maps for Florida, an "Up Peninsular" temperature comparison (for all you snow birds), and in-depth temperature charts for Naples, Fla.
The Surf Tab features a current wave height map for Florida, tide information, satellite imagery of the tropics, and sea surface temperature maps.
The Swamp Tab features weekly-updated hydrographs for Big Cypress Swamp, animated images of the water cycle at work in the swamp, and a time line.
The Glades Tab features weekly-updated hydrographs for the Everglades, photographs, animated images of the water cycle at work in the glades, and a time line.
The Lake Tab features weekly-updated hydrographs for Lake Okeechobee and downstream estuaries, representative photographs, an animated images of the water cycle at work within the levee, a red tide report, and a time line.
The News Tab features water news from around the state of Florida, organized by topic.
The Bottom of the Blog features maps of today's "probably precipitation outlook" and "air temperature" for the nation, links to other Florida nature blogs, a few national weather blogs, plus a handy list of Florida water and weather links.
Feel free to contact me if you would like more information, or to be added to the journal's weekly mailing list. Otherwise, have fun reading -- and remember -- always be good to your watershed!

People also forget that SHAMANS can now CC! I got hex at 80, and I can count the times I have used it on one hand. Hex is a really powerful CC, in that it only has a CHANCE to break if the target is damaged. I have killed mobs in Heroics without them ever getting out of hex! Additionally, if Blizz wants to use CC more in new content, they are going to need to extend the range of Hex, as it is currently 10yds shorter range than all other CC, so I have to pretty much run in to the fray to use it.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Philip Humber
Tue Mar 11, 2014 6:28 pm Phil Humber was hit around on Tuesday against the Athletics, surrendering four runs while recording only one out.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber allowed a walk, hit a batter, and allowed two hits including a three-run home run. The right-hander is hoping to make the team as a swing arm but hasn't had a great start to the Cactus League, hurting his chances to make the 25-man roster.
Sat Feb 15, 2014 2:51 pm Athletics manager Bob Melvin indicated Saturday that Phil Humber could be utilized in a swing role during the 2014 season.
Fantasy Source Spin: The 30-year-old has been a disaster the past few seasons, but has the ability to start and relieve, and could make the team out of spring training as a potential long man in the bullpen. If not, he'll likely head to Triple-A where he'll represent additional rotation depth.
Source: Jane Lee on Twitter
Sat Nov 2, 2013 11:57 am Athletics signed RHP Phil Humber to a minor league contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: The 30-year-old right-hander spent the 2013 season with the Astros, compiling a horrendous 0-8 record, 7.90 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 36/20 K/BB ratio over 54 2/3 innings. He's just two seasons removed from a very effective season in the White Sox rotation, so perhaps the A's feel like they can resurrect his career. He'll likely begin the 2014 season at Triple-A Sacramento.
Source: Matt Eddy on Twitter
Wed Oct 2, 2013 6:21 pm Astros sent RHP Phil Humber outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber made 17 appearances, including seven starts, for the Astros this season, posting a 7.90 ERA over 54 2/3 innings. The 30-year-old is unlikely to draw much interest if he opts for free agency. He carried a $3 million club option for 2014 that has been declined.
Mon Aug 12, 2013 3:55 pm Astros purchased the contract of RHP Philip Humber from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber has done a nice job in relief over the past few weeks at the Triple-A level and will try to add some stability to the Houston bullpen. Wesley Wright was traded through waivers to the Rays on Monday afternoon.
Wed May 15, 2013 9:20 am Astros sent RHP Philip Humber outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber cleared waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. It's not known whether he'll join Triple-A Oklahoma City or declare free agency.
Sun May 12, 2013 10:46 am Astros designated RHP Philip Humber for assignment.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber was a disaster in the rotation for the 'Stros, and his fate was sealed after he gave up five runs over 2/3 of an inning in relief on Saturday. Overall, he posted a 9.59 ERA and 2.02 WHIP with Houston. Despite the struggles, he'll have no trouble catching on somewhere else. It will just probably be on a minor league deal.
Wed May 8, 2013 5:18 pm Philip Humber has been demoted to the bullpen.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber had a horrific 8.82 ERA and 1.93 WHIP through seven starts. He will presumably serve as a long reliever. Dallas Keuchel is taking the vacant rotation spot.
Source: Brian T. Smith on Twitter
Mon May 6, 2013 8:51 pm Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said he and manager Bo Porter have discussed the possibility of removing Philip Humber from the rotation.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber has taken a loss in all seven starts this season and sports an 8.82 ERA and 1.93 WHIP. "That's really a decision Bo needs to make, and I'm sure he'll make it at the appropriate time," Luhnow said. "We believe Humber is a Major League pitcher and can add value to our team. For now, no decision has been made about any different roles on the pitching side at this point."
Source: Astros.mlb.com
Sun May 5, 2013 8:13 pm Phil Humber was shelled for eight runs in just four innings of work in a loss Sunday to the Tigers.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber gave up three home runs, including a two-run shot to Prince Fielder in the first inning. He's now lost seven straight games to open the season and has a 8.82 ERA. It's hard to believe that Humber still has a rotation spot at this point. He'll likely be moved to the bullpen if he continues to struggle.
Tue Apr 30, 2013 11:26 pm Phil Humber allowed four runs over six innings as the Astros lost to the Yankees on Tuesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber probably got off light, as he surrendered nine hits and two walks on the evening while throwing four wild pitches. He's now 0-6 on the year with a 7.58 ERA. His next start comes Sunday against the Tigers.
Fri Apr 26, 2013 5:52 pm Astros manager Bo Porter said Friday that Philip Humber will remain in the starting rotation.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber had a 2.89 ERA through his first three starts, but he has been knocked around for 15 runs in five innings over his last two starts, bringing his ERA up to 7.99 for the year. It's not like the Astros have many great alternatives, so they'll stick with him for now. However, he's mostly irrelevant in fantasy leagues.
Source: Brian T. Smith on Twitter
Thu Apr 25, 2013 10:08 pm Philip Humber was pounded for seven runs in 4 2/3 innings by the Red Sox in a loss Thursday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber has lost all five of his starts this season, though he had a fine 2.89 ERA after the first three. It's only in the last two that he's been lit up, so his rotation spot is safe for now.
Sat Apr 20, 2013 11:00 pm Philip Humber recorded only one out before being removed from Saturday's game against the Indians.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Tribe ripped him for eight earned runs on eight hits and a walk. Humber was pretty solid in his first three starts this season but it all came apart on Saturday night. The 30-year-old righty is not fantasy-relevant.
Sun Apr 14, 2013 7:10 pm Phil Humber gave up two runs over seven innings in Sunday's loss to the Angels.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's the second consecutive game Humber has posted a quality start. He walked one, struck out four, and allowed seven hits before being removed with 92 pitches. Humber has a 2.89 ERA through three starts this season and should continue to have value in AL-only leagues.
Tue Apr 9, 2013 12:58 am Philip Humber posted a quality start but suffered a loss Monday, allowing three runs over six frames against the Mariners.
Fantasy Source Spin: He walked one and gave up just five hits, only one of which went for extra bases, but that was enough as the M's held down the Astros' feeble offense. Humber has pitched pretty well in both of his starts but is now 0-2. He'll try for his first win this weekend in Anaheim.
Wed Apr 3, 2013 5:27 pm Philip Humber allowed one run in 5 2/3 innings Wednesday in a loss to the Rangers.
Fantasy Source Spin: So now you know why we didn't project any Astros starters to reach double figures in wins this year. Humber looked good this spring and he did a nice job against a fine offense today, but given his difficult schedule and likely continued lack of bullpen and run support, he's probably never going to have much fantasy value.
Tue Mar 19, 2013 9:57 pm Astros manager Bo Porter said Tuesday that Philip Humber has all but secured a spot in the rotation.
Fantasy Source Spin: Porter noted that Humber came into camp competing for a job and has done everything the Astros have asked him to do, including pitch well. The 30-year-old owns a sparkling 1.29 ERA and 0.64 WHIP in 14 innings this spring. But he's unlikely to be an impact starter in fantasy leagues.
Source: Astros.mlb.com
Tue Mar 12, 2013 5:25 pm After coming out of the pen, Philip Humber allowed one hit over five scoreless innings Tuesday in the Astros' 9-4 defeat of the Marlins.
Fantasy Source Spin: With the wind blowing out to left, the game's other eight pitchers combined to give up six homers today, making Humber's outing a bit more impressive. With a 1.29 ERA in 14 innings, he should have a rotation spot just about clinched now.
Thu Mar 7, 2013 4:09 pm Philip Humber blanked the Nationals for four innings in the Astros' 4-2 victory Thursday.
Fantasy Source Spin: He allowed one hit, walked one and struck out one. Humber was a pretty good bet to crack the Astros' rotation even before his strong start to the spring. He's allowed two runs in nine innings.
Sat Mar 2, 2013 4:21 pm Philip Humber allowed one run in three innings and struck out three versus the Braves on Saturday.
Fantasy Source Spin: A Freddie Freeman homer accounted for the damage. Humber has allowed two runs in five innings this spring as he attempts to secure a spot in Houston's rotation. He'll probably get one of the openings.
Sun Dec 2, 2012 10:45 am Astros avoided arbitration with RHP Philip Humber by signing him to a one-year contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: The deal also includes a club option for 2014, though the financial particulars aren't known. Humber was claimed off waivers from the White Sox Friday and has a good shot to crack the Astros' Opening Day rotation next season. He posted a disappointing 6.44 ERA and 85/44 K/BB ratio over 102 innings this past season.
Fri Nov 30, 2012 5:16 pm Astros claimed RHP Philip Humber off waivers from the White Sox.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber was a non-tender candidate after posting a 6.44 ERA and 85/44 K/BB ratio over 102 innings this past season. The 29-year-old right-hander projects to make a little over $1 million in his first year of arbitration, so he could eat some innings on the cheap for the rebuilding 'Stros.
Fri Nov 30, 2012 9:24 am Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times thinks there's a "good chance" Philip Humber is non-tendered.
Fantasy Source Spin: He also believes that Dan Johnson will be non-tendered, but Gordon Beckham and Alejandro De Aza will be offered contracts. Humber tossed a perfect game in 2012 and has pitched well at times for the White Sox over the last two years, but the Sox have rotation depth and can't really justify giving him a raise after he posted a 6.44 ERA this past season.
Source: Chicago Sun-Times
Mon Aug 6, 2012 7:36 pm White Sox manager Robin Ventura confirmed Monday that Phil Humber will be moved to the bullpen.
Fantasy Source Spin: The White Sox experimented with a six-man rotation, but the writing was on the wall for Humber, who's struggled since his perfect game earlier this season. It's also a sign that Chris Sale will be cleared to pitch on regular rest moving forward. Humber has 26 career relief appearances, including two last year with Chicago.
Source: ESPN Chicago
Sat Aug 4, 2012 12:52 am Phil Humber struggled in a no-decision against the Angels on Friday, allowing six runs on 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber also walked four and struck out one in the game. He struggled to keep the ball in the yard again this evening, as Mike Trout and Albert Pujols each took him over the fence. He's been virtually ineffective since his perfect game earlier in the season, and he now owns an abysmal 6.14 ERA. He shouldn't be started in any format when he takes on the Royals at home on Wednesday.
Sat Jul 28, 2012 10:54 pm Philip Humber limited the Rangers to one earned run over six innings in Saturday night's 5-2 victory.
Fantasy Source Spin: Humber struck out four and allowed only four hits, shutting down an intimidating Rangers offense in his best outing since May. The right-hander lowered his ERA from 6.25 to 5.90 and his WHIP from 1.49 to 1.46. He has a tough matchup next week against the Angels.

Considering the violence that occurred during the previous century, can the Western ideas of science and reason be considered "progress"?
The twentieth-century witnessed the most technologically advanced nations in the world (i.e. Britain, Germany, France, Japan, and Russia) engage in two World Wars which killed millions of innocent civilians. Not only did the wars itself create unprecedented destruction, but atrocities such as the Holocaust were perpetrated by advanced, "civilized" nations. Although we have not had a major world war in seven decades, the most powerful nations in the world have created nuclear arsenals with the potential to destroy ever inhabitant on the planet. Finally, the Western lifestyle, perfectly exemplified by the United States, is warming the planet and destroying fragile natural ecosystems. Can this be considered progress?

Mar 3 2013: Matt, Issues like this would be easier to discuss in specifics other than generalities and knowing your location would be of great value in doing this .. IMO.
Science is a tool that is used as a force for the good or evil. Reasoning is the capacity for consciously making sense of things, for establishing and verifying facts, and changing or justifying practices, institutions, and beliefs based on new or existing information.
We have enjoyed a boom in science ... yes weapons are involved ... But so is space travel, medicine, entertainment, travel, comforts, and all types of electronics and toys ...
We enjoyed the art of diplomacy after WW II notably John Foster Dullas, Henery Kissinger, and some Presidents that understood foriegn affairs. We do not have that talent available to us now and depend on diplomatic astute nations such as England to do our bidding. The USA is a failed diplomatic nation and has added greatly to our problems.
The same problems exist today and throughout history ... kingdoms, dictators, fanatics, and the greed of man. I would consider that fewer of these exist today that ever before .... and yes that is progress.
Matt ... I get the feeling that the real issue here is "green". Could you provide some guidance where you would like this conversation to go. Right now it the history of the world part one.
I wish you well.
Mar 3 2013: I guess I was hoping that this conversation could go toward teaching ethical values of human dignity and environmental protection to our children, because I feel that we spend our lives living in comfort and hearing about how much better our lives are compared to just 300 years ago, yet we forget that we are still human. Although we may believe that we are more advanced than our ancestors, we still have the capacity to use our knowledge of science to the detriment of society. I think you are right in talking about "green" as an issue, and this is a perfect modern-day example of how we have to temper our science with ethics. Many scientists talk about science for science's sake or progress for progress' sake, but I believe that science is an incredible tool that can be used to achieve our goals that our founded on our beliefs and principles. Unfortunately, the prevailing attitude, as exemplified by nuclear weapons and climate change, is "to hell with ethics, if we can do it, why shouldn't we"
Mar 3 2013: Matt, Part of the problem is that we hear on the news fronm radicals in both arenas. President Obama poured millions into "green" that had no chance to succeed ... Americans took a bath. The environmental groups have assigned Al Gore to be the face of the movement when he is a punch line for cocktail hour jokes and has never dedicated any protion of his personal life toward the issue in fact much to the opposite.
We have seen the same figures in the hands of spin doctors ... prove and disaprove all of the arguments until this year there appears to be a reversal in the findings that the earth is cooling again.
Matt I agree that there are things we are doing that are abusive to the environment and we should stop. But until issues like the environment and immagration and so forth are taken serious and not just political sabre rattling for votes there will never be real change as you seek.
Matt I might suggest that we, as a nation, begin to take our government seriously. If we returned to a Constitutional government, reduced the size and the programs offered ... and additionally took charge of the "career politicians" and made them once again servants of the people then we could seriously tackle the issues facing us.
We need to focus on the things we can control and work toward those issues you have expressed.
I wish you well. Bob.

Boogity, Boogity, Boogity…Fox needs to make some changes, boysMonday, May 31st, 2010
By Richard Allen
The Fox Network has just completed its tenth season of broadcasting NASCAR races. Since their beginning of covering this sport in 2001, they have made very few changes to their on-air team or style of coverage. In my opinion, the time has come for some changes to be made.
Quite frankly, the material of […]
$20 million a prize worth working overtime forFriday, May 28th, 2010
By Richard Allen
In a recent interview with Speed's Wendy Venturini, Speedway Motorsports, Inc. Chairman Bruton Smith indicated that the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 ought to work more closely together in an attempt to help draw attention to both races.
One suggestion Smith made that would no doubt serve to garner plenty of attention was […]
My prediction: Jimmie Johnson will win in CharlotteThursday, May 27th, 2010
By Richard Allen
For those wondering who might win the Coca-Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway this upcoming Memorial Day weekend, I have two questions. First, did you see the Sprint All Star Race last week? And, have you watched any race at CMS over the past 6-8 years?
I know Jimmie Johnson did not win […]
It looks to be a very long season for Kasey KahneWednesday, May 26th, 2010
By Richard Allen
2010 started off well enough for Kasey Kahne. He won one of the qualifying races in preparation for the season opening Daytona 500. However, with only three exceptions, not much else has gone well for the native of the state of Washington.
Kahne scored top-10 finishes in Las Vegas, Atlanta and Texas. Other than […]
Who should make up the second class of Hall of Fame inductees?Tuesday, May 25th, 2010
By Richard Allen
When I first heard there would be five inductees into the new NASCAR Hall of Fame I picked Richard Petty, Junior Johnson, Dale Earnhardt, and the Frances as my initial class. As it turns out those were the five to be chosen.
Petty and Earnhardt seemed obvious choices as the only seven time champions […]
Carl Edwards no less disappointing than JuniorMonday, May 24th, 2010
By Richard Allen
There has been a great deal of attention focused on the struggles of Dale Earnhardt, Jr. on this website and just about every other NASCAR related media outlet. However, one driver has struggled every bit as much over the past year and a half or so and not nearly so much attention has […]
Tension between Hamlin and Busch will not ruin JGR momentumMonday, May 24th, 2010
By Richard Allen
During and after Saturday's Sprint All Star Race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway there was obvious tension between Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch. The two were involved in an incident that might well have cost at least one of them $1 million.
In the race's final segment Hamlin was running […]
If you could attend one more race, which would it be?Monday, May 24th, 2010
By Richard Allen
To race fans, the Daytona 500 is somewhat like New Year's. It's a special time and everything starts over again. The Southern 500 in Darlington is like Thanksgiving. It's traditional and uniquely American. Going to a race at a favorite track is like a birthday because it is like your own special day.
The […]
Not exactly the run Ford FR9 teams were looking forSunday, May 23rd, 2010
By Richard Allen
Pretty much every Ford team was running the much anticipated FR9 engine in the Sprint All Star Challenge in Charlotte this past weekend. The results showed the engine apparently helped very little.
Matt Kenseth in 8th place was the highest finishing of the four Ford Fusion drivers in the race. Even that finish exaggerates […]
Doesn't look like Johnson and Knaus were just winging itSunday, May 23rd, 2010
By Richard Allen
After a couple of not so Jimmie Johnson like performances over the last few weeks some racing followers began to speculate that the four time consecutive champion had lost his edge after NASCAR removed the rear wing from the Car of Tomorrow and replaced it with a blade spoiler.
Johnson ran poorly at Darlington […]
My preidiction: Kevin Harvick will win the All Star RaceFriday, May 21st, 2010
By Richard Allen
I am currently on an incredible hot streak of one in a row at picking race winners on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. With that said, I feel pretty safe in saying the world awaits my prediction for the upcoming weekend's Sprint All Star Race.
So, without further adieu, the winner of this race […]
It's time for the Ford FR9 engine to prove its worthThursday, May 20th, 2010
By Richard Allen
After a great deal off fanfare and much waiting, it is finally time for Ford's first race specific engine, the FR9, to show what it can do once and for all.
In this weekend's Sprint All Star Race activities the new power plant will be put to use by every Ford team supplied by […]
