The 2013 Indianapolis 500 qualifying order is out
May 17, 2013, 7:30 PM EDT
Here's your qualifying order for this year's Indianapolis 500. Note that the No. 40, which leads off, is the second Ed Carpenter Racing entry that won't turn a wheel, and both primary and "T" cars are entered in the draw. Scott Dixon, the 2008 500 winner, will be the first driver to make a qualifying attempt. Each driver's best speed of the month in that car are listed just to the right.
Other notes: Sam Schmidt's third car (second Schmidt Peterson entry) is the No. 99/99T with driver TBA, and Townsend Bell gets spot "12A" – not 13 – in-between 12 and 14 for the No. 60T backup car at Panther Racing.

By Staff Writer | June 30, 2012 01:09 AM EDT
On June 28th, countless celebrities walk along the blue carpet of Mnet 20's Choice Awards , hoping to claim the title as of 'Hottest star of the day'.

My dear readers, there is no post for you guys today. As sad and embarrassing as it is for me to admit, I completely failed this week. I don't even want to tell you how badly I did… I took 4 days off exercise during which I ate like crap. I don't know what brought it on and where it came from. It might be the fact that I'm being overly controlling with calorie counting (even though I was eating quite a large number of calories per day anyway so I don't think it's because of any restriction). It must have been mental. Something must have been missing in my life that made me break out so bad. From Sunday till Wednesday I didn't do anything. Not a single thing. My days, eating wise, went from alright, to bad, to worse, to horrible on Wednesday. It was bad. I don't know what brings these days on but I know a part of it has to do with the fact that I was staying immobile. Exercise and activity is what keeps my mind in check – it keeps me motivated and excited and willing to eat clean and in the right portions.
Today's post deals with ways to motivate yourself after falling off the exercise wagon as I did. Although (thankfully) I made myself workout on Thursday morning to attempt to get back up, I had to ask my fellow Fitfluential Ambassadors for advice.I asked them "How do you get yourself motivated to get back on the wagon after falling off" and here is what they had to say:
"I like to have a plan. The satisfaction of crossing something off every day really keeps me motivated, even if it just says REST!!" – Leah from Chocolate and Wild Air
"Find a new exercise or workout to try that is new and fun!" – Sarah from Fit Betty
"Usually when I feel unmotivated, it's because that "spark" is missing so I like to mix things up a bit…try a new workout, a new class, or forget the gym altogether and take it outdoors with a good walk or run (nothing like a good dose of fresh air AND sweat to get you going!)" – Heather from Kiss My Broccoli
"I recommend a food and workout journal. " – Monica from Monica Nelson Fitness
"New workout clothes always motivate me! If I'm feeling out of it, I will bribe myself with a new top or pair of shorts! Then I feel more motivated at the gym " – Andrea from A Doctor in the House
"Each morning is a brand new beginning and a chance to start over. Get some sleep, then put on your tennis shoes, and conquer the day!" – Kasey from Well of Health

Egypt's Women: Covered-up or Locked-up
"If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street...and the cats come and eat it, whose fault is it, the cats' or the uncovered meat? If she was in her room, in her home in her hijab, no problem would have occurred." — Sheikh Taj Din Al-Hilali, Grand Mufti, Australia, 2006
Although she survived the attack, what is really instructive is how she was demonized and blamed on Egypt's talk shows for the violence she endured. Commentators accused her of deliberately wearing a blue bra to invite the attack -- as if it even could have been seen beneath the black Islamic veil she wore before she was attacked.
The ancient Egyptians created a sophisticated civilization, particularly regarding the status of women. On women's rights, ancient Egyptian society was considerably more liberal and progressive than Athens and Rome. Ancient Egypt's eight female pharaohs and a number of influential queens led the country as it achieved astonishing feats in a wide range of fields that include engineering, fashion and astronomy. From the archaeological evidence of the art on the ancient temples, at least in the realm of law, it appears Egyptian women had achieved equality with men. Women could own land, divorce their husbands and represent themselves in court. Women also played a central role in the how their society was governed.
Those days are long gone. In today's Egypt, women, even when they just walk on the street, every day endure violence, aggression, and sexual harassment. Women are often discouraged from seeking justice, both by officials, who want to protect Egypt's reputation and by their own relatives, who want to protect their family's honor.
What happened? The answer seems to lie with Islam's Sharia Law and how it is interpreted by the clerics at Egypt's -- and Sunni Islam's -- foremost religious establishment, Al-Azhar University in Cairo, and by other hardline fundamentalist groups in the country. The clerics at Al-Azhar, all men, seek to keep women behind the veil and under the thumb of the country's theocracy.
Last week, things came to a head when a new draft of the Egyptian constitution was approved by a 50-member committee appointed by Egypt's Interim president, Adly Mansour. The current draft includes Article Two of the old constitution which states that "Islam is the state religion, Arabic is its official language and the principles of Islamic Sharia law form the main source of legislation."
To its credit, the committee also approved Article 89, which criminalizes child marriage, forced marriage and female genital mutilation ["circumcision"]. Two members of the committee did not vote in favor of this article; they were outside the country; and Salah Abdel-Maboud, a representative from the Salafists' ultraconservative Nour Party, refused to vote on this article. He left the room. Abdel-Maboud also objected to Article 11 of the proposed constitution, which addresses the equality between men and women and states that those women's rights are defined in Sharia's laws. Islamists keep repeating that Sharia laws have all the solutions to the world's problems.
At the outset, the Islamists, who seek to shape Egyptian society, would deny women the right to participate in their country's governance. Women's involvement in politics is now a Western idea; it has no place in Muslim Egypt. Sheikh Abu Ishaq al-Heweny recently stated that the successes enjoyed by women leaders such as Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi and Golda Meir were abnormal phenomena in history, and that no nation could enjoy any progress with a women at the helm.
The oppression, however, does not stop there. It goes much deeper. In the minds of Egypt's theocrats, a woman's body should not be seen in public. In televised interviews and sermons, leaders of the Nour Party have stated that when a man sees a woman, his testosterone hormones are activated. Therefore women, according to his interpretation of Sharia law, need to be covered-up or locked-up.
Many of the Islamists damn non-Muslim societies for granting women their freedom -- to men, the biggest danger.
These ideas, unfortunately, have a real impact on how girls and women are treated in Egyptian society. Instead of protecting women from the violence of men, ideas promoted by the Nour Party, and by clerics at Al-Ahzar and the educational system they control, have given men license to behave like animals toward women.
A few weeks ago, a 7-year-old girl, Ehssan, was kidnapped and raped while playing front of her family's house in Alexandria. The community's elders discouraged the father -- to protect both the honor of his daughter and the honor of his family -- from going public about what had happened to her. The police and the local hospital initially refused to get involved in the case. The father stated in a televised interview that what happened to his daughter happens regularly to girls of a similar age in Egypt.
Hania Moheeb -- an ordinary Egyptian woman who was attacked in her way to Tahrir Square in January 2013 to celebrate the second anniversary of the January 25 Revolution -- can also testify to the problem of violence against females in Egyptian society. Moheeb told the BBC what happened: "All of a sudden I found myself inside a very, very huge circle of men who were attacking every inch of my body," she says in a voice that is soft but unflinching. "They stripped me - their hands were all over my body, violating my intimate parts. I thought I was going to die because they were very aggressive. At a certain point I think I fainted because one of them was trying to strangle me with a scarf that was around my neck." What happened to Hania Moheeb happens every day to Egyptian women.
In December of 2011, during one of the youths' demonstration against the SCARF (Supreme Council of the Armed Forces), a young woman wearing the Islamic niqab was severely beaten by Egyptian soldiers. This graphic and horrifying video captures the attack, during which soldiers pulled the niqab over her head and exposed her blue bra and stomach.
The woman in the blue bra, being beaten by soldiers in Cairo in December 2011.
Although she survived the attack, what is really instructive is how she was demonized on Egypt's Islamic talk shows and blamed for the violence she endured. Commentators seemed obsessed with the color of her bra, and accused her of deliberately wearing a blue bra to invite the attack -- as if it could even have been seen beneath the black Islamic veil she wore before she was attacked. The question they asked was not how the soldiers could attack a defenseless woman in such a way, but how she could dare to wear such a bra. Others accused her of being a whore. Other hosts asked why she didn't wear multiple layers of clothing under her niqab to protect herself in Tahrir Square, as if the niqab were not enough. Azza Hilal Suleman, an activist who tried to help the victim, was beaten by the same soldiers.
Ideas about women disseminated by Al-Azhar have made their way to the West where they have been embraced by both men and women. On October 11, 2013, Diane Sawyer, anchoring an ABC News show, interviewed hardliner fundamentalist women in UK as part of a segment about the 16-year-old Pakistani girl, Malala Yousafzai. The interviewees wore the same Islamic niqab [veil] that was worn by the woman who was beaten in Egypt in 2011. It is a black garment designed to conceal a woman's shape and is required by ultra-conservative Muslims.
The women explained that the niqab was to honor and protect them, unlike Western women, who are seen as no more than sex objects, and, they said, have to expose their cleavage to get a job. The women emphasized that Islam cannot co-exist with freedom and democracy, and they told Sawyer that she was oppressed because she was not covered-up.
If the niqab is intended to protect and honor women, then how does one explain the violence endured by a completely veiled Egyptian woman in 2011?
The problem is not with the clothes that women wear, but with the ideas that are in the heads of men who attack the women.
To get a taste of what these ideas are, it is useful to listen to the testimony offered by Australian Grand Mufti, Sheik Taj Din Al-Hilali, in a 2006 sermon about adultery. Speaking in a mosque in Sydney, the mufti blamed women for rape. He stated that, "If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it ... whose fault is it, the cats' or the uncovered meat?…The uncovered meat is the problem."
The sheik then said: "If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred."
He said women were "weapons" used by "Satan" to control men.
"It is said in the state of zina [adultery], the responsibility falls 90 per cent of the time on the woman. Why? Because she possesses the weapon of enticement [igraa]."
It is no surprise that Sheik al-Hilali feels this way about women. According to a video produced by Al-Ahzar TV in Egypt, the Mufti was described as a jihadist who fights for Islam in the West and whose entire education took place in Al-Azhar-operated schools.
To deflect the outrage over his statement --many Australians demanded his resignation -- Sheik Al-Hilali fabricated a story about people breaking into and vandalizing his mosque. He blamed the incident on his opposition within the mosque but was caught in the act of vandalizing his own mosque by security cameras.
After Al-Hilali was forced to resign his post as the Grand Mufti, he went back to Egypt and condemned his former host country, Australia. In an interview with Amr Adeeb in Al Qahera-Al Youm (Cairo Today), Al-Hilali confirmed his views about women, but denied that he vandalized his own mosque. He said, "There is no freedom and no democracy [for Muslims] -- the most dishonest and unjust people are Western people and the English in particular."
I witnessed the impact of Sharia's interpretation on the status of women first-hand before immigrating to the United States. After my family had moved to Cairo, I saw my mother crying in the kitchen upon her return from the market. She always responded to inquiries about what happened with "nothing" or "Walad el Kalb…haywannat" -- sons of a dog…animals." Her tears kept coming, but she never answered any questions.
I could only guess what happened to my mother until I saw "Cairo 678," an Egyptian movie based on real stories. It addresses the sexual harassment problem in Egypt through the lives of three women from three different economic, religious and social backgrounds. The movie also highlights the weapons available to women to fight their attackers and the techniques used by men to deny any charges. For example, women who have to use the public transportation have to use hairpins to keep harassers away.
Although she never articulated how deeply she was affected by the inequality that pervades Egypt today, my mother communicated her fear and sadness through denial, silence and quiet tears.
As a male in this society, I was unaware, until many years later, of the discrepancy between the personal freedom I enjoyed as young man in Egypt, free to come go as I pleased, and the utter lack of true freedom that was intentionally withheld from women like my mother. In countries governed by Islamists, including Egypt, sexual harassment is a taboo subject. Women are told that if they are sexually harassed, it is their fault. Victims are told that they had better not to show their country's dirty laundry.
Egypt today is constantly featured in the media: its political unrest, its economic challenges that plague the country, and increasingly, its mistreatment of women.
It is high time for Islamists to face the reality that their ideas are hurting Egypt, and for the civilized world to speak up.

Abbas's Responsibility for Murder
by Khaled Abu Toameh
To understand what drives a young Palestinian to carry out such a deadly attack, one needs to look at the statements of Palestinian Authority leaders during the past few weeks.
The anti-Israel campaign of incitement reached its peak with Abbas's speech at the UN a few weeks ago, when he accused Israel of waging a "war of genocide" in the Gaza Strip. Abbas made no reference to Hamas's crimes against both Israelis and Palestinians.
Whatever his motives, it is clear that the man who carried out the most recent attack, was influenced by the messages that Abbas and and the Palestinian Authority leadership have been sending their people.
Israel's Security and Unintended Consequences
by Richard Kemp
Would General Allen -- or any other general today -- recommend contracting out his country's defenses if it were his country at stake? Of course not.
The Iranian regime remains dedicated to undermining and ultimately destroying the State of Israel. The Islamic State also has Israel in its sights and would certainly use the West Bank as a point from which to attack, if it were open to them.
There can be no two-state solution and no sovereign Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan, however desirable those things might be. The stark military reality is that Israel cannot withdraw its forces from the West Bank.
Fatah leaders ally themselves with the terrorists of Hamas, and, like Hamas, they continue to reject the every existence of the State of Israel.
If Western leaders actually want to help, they should use all diplomatic and economic means to make it clear to the Palestinians that they will never achieve an independent and sovereign state while they remain set on the destruction of the State of Israel.
Palestinian Statehood?
by Louis René Beres
The Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO], forerunner of today's Palestinian Authority, was founded in 1964, three years before Israel came into the unintended control of the West Bank and Gaza. What therefore was the PLO planning to "liberate"?
Why does no one expect the Palestinians to cease all deliberate and random violence against Israeli civilians before being considered for admission to statehood?
On June 30, 1922, a joint resolution of both Houses of Congress of the United States endorsed a "Mandate for Palestine," confirming the right of Jews to settle anywhere they chose between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. This is the core American legacy of support for a Jewish State that President Obama now somehow fails to recall.
A sovereign state of Palestine, as identified by the Arabs -- a Muslim land occupied by "Palestinian" Arabs -- has never existed; not before 1948, and not before 1967. From the start, it was, and continues to be, the Arab states -- not Israel -- that became the core impediment to Palestinian sovereignty.
EU Tyranny: New Law against Democratically Dismantling EU from Within

Brad Stevens' departure to Boston isn't doomsday for the Butler program
Jul 4, 2013, 10:30 AM EDT
Butler was good before Brad Stevens got there.
In the wake of the news that the now-former Butler head coach has taken on the role of being Doc Rivers' replacement with the Boston Celtics, that's the most important fact to remember here.
Brad Stevens made Butler a national phenomenon by taking them to back-to-back title games, but he didn't build that program.
Barry Collier — who is currently Butler's AD — did. He took them to three NCAA tournament appearances in four seasons in the late '90s before leaving to take over the basketball program at Nebraska. His replacement? Thad Matta, who coached at Butler for one season and took them to the second round of the NCAA tournament before leaving to become the head coach at Ohio State. Next in line was Todd Lickliter, who took Butler to two NCAA tournaments, two NITs and won three Horizon League titles in his six seasons with the Bulldogs before he headed off to take over at Iowa.
Prior to Stevens' arrival, the Bulldogs were one of the best mid-major programs in the country.
What Stevens did by leading them to NCAA tournament glory was build Butler's brand. He made the program nationally recognizable instead of just being the best basketball school in Indianapolis. He led them from the Horizon League into the Atlantic 10 and put them on the precipice of a dive into major conference basketball, as the Bulldogs will begin their tenure in the Big East next season.
And yes, that is going to be a difficult thing to do with Stevens gone, but there is still a roster full of talent left behind. And there is still an impressive coaching tree that includes current South Alabama head coach and former Butler associate head coach Matt Graves, Michigan assistant coach LaVall Jordan, South Alabama assistant coach — and former media darling — Ronald Nored, current Butler assistant coach Brandon Miller. The list goes on.
Brad Stevens was a blessing to the Butler program and led them to the kind of success that they may never see again.
But the Bulldogs were good before he got there.
And there's no reason to think that will change now that he's gone.

Box Clever: Motormouth strikes again
Saturday 10 January 1998
"I don't care how many times the leader of the council writes to me," he booms, "I still think Birmingham is like a rugby-bath after the water has drained away - empty in the middle with a ring of scum round the outside."
Obviously taking great delight in winding up the establishment, he continues: "Sometimes home truths get buried under a wall of political correctness. I don't think it's a crime being un-PC. You aren't allowed to say smoking is fun," he asserts, taking a defiant puff on his full-strength Marlboro (Lights are for wimps). "And that drink-drive campaign before Christmas, `have none for the road' - what? What's the point of life if you can't smoke or drink?"
It is just this sort of opinionated sounding-off that so endears the 37-year-old Clarkson to viewers - and consequently to commissioning editors. Realising when they're on to a good thing, BBC2 have just sent him to five continents to drive as many absurdly dangerous speeding vehicles as he could lay his hands on. The result, Jeremy Clarkson's Extreme Machines, is like the man himself: loud, noisy, bumptious, loud, enthusiastic, loud and damn good fun.
But it still gives him ample opportunity to aim with his scatter-gun at the nanny state. "We can't legislate against everything," he fumes. "All over the world, people are becoming irritated at governments not allowing things. In New Zealand, they can't race jet boats down rivers. Why not? There's nobody around for hundreds of miles. Why kill hundreds of people's enjoyment? Life is precious, but it isn't precious if you can't enjoy yourself."
This sort of stuff - allied to his tight curls and tighter trousers - has gained Clarkson a cult following as a presenter on BBC2's Top Gear and Motorworld. Kicking off his shoes in a posh central London suite, he declares that: "motoring journalists are a waste of time nowadays. The only thing they can do is say, `let's enjoy the sex and violence of cars before Prescott kills them off'."
But, it has to be said, this outspokenness also gets up people's noses with the regularity of the 'flu bug in mid-winter. He doesn't even object to comedians such as Rory Bremner taking the rise out of his speed-freaky over-eagerness on screen. "I don't mind," he laughs. "Rory Bremner drives a hairdresser's car - an Audi Cabriolet - so what do you expect?"
Clarkson does draw the line, though, at comics' suggestions that he becomes sexually aroused by the mere sight of a gear-stick. "I've never looked on cars in a sexual way," he declares, glancing out of the window. "Gracious me, there's an enormous penis - oh no, it's an E-Type Jag. I've never once swelled when driving. My little boy's first words were `car crash', but I don't think it's anything to do with his penis."
What Clarkson cannot refute, though, is the charge that his petrol-head programmes are unreconstructedly macho. "If you're presenting a Lamborghini Diabolo, then you're going to be in macho territory," he admits. "It's a boys' toys thing. That comes with the job."
As for the future, several programmes away from the steering-wheel are under discussion, including - and this sounds intriguing - a chat show. With typical frankness, Clarkson does own up to some reservations. "I think me not doing Top Gear would be like Barry Norman doing a cookery programme. People would think, `but he's that car bloke'. If you take away the subject-matter, the enthusiasm goes. If I did a gardening programme, all I could say is `just put some soil on'. If I did a cookery programme, all I could is `shove it in the oven till it's not raw.' And if I did a golf programme, all I could say is `we're not watching this, he's got daft trousers on'."
Rather touchingly, there is a part of this apparently supremely self- confident bloke which still can't quite believe he's a success. "I'm fairly talentless," he reckons. "This can't last forever. You have to do the footballer bit and milk it. I do a poky motoring programme on BBC2 with my jowls hanging down. I still feel an imposter."
Jeremy Clarkson's `Extreme Machines' is at 8.30pm on BBC2 on Thur

Michelle Obama Sticks to Her Hometown Designer, Maria Pinto, For Democratic National Convention
Was It Fab That Michelle Obama Stuck With a Hometown Designer For the Convention?
With the fashion world at her fingertips, Michelle Obama could have worn a frock from the likes of Oscar de la Renta, Yves Saint Laurent, or St. John at the Democratic National Convention. Instead, Obama opted for a '50s-inspired turquoise blue fitted sheath dress from her favorite hometown designer, Maria Pinto. This leading lady is loyal, and we love it.
The designer has been dressing Michelle and her two daughters since the beginning of the campaign trail. "She's like an average customer. She'll say, 'Oh, I like that dress.' She'll buy one or several," said Pinto, who credited Obama for her success.
Timing couldn't have been better for the designer, who recently rebounded from employee embezzlement that resulted in bankruptcy and an illness, which left her bedridden for six months. Obama has been spotted wearing Pinto's frocks throughout the campaign trail and if she continues, Pinto's success will rise as well.

NavPlay, manufacturer of iPad apps for boaters, announced today the latest set of feature driven environments for its NavPlay navigation app, Navigation and Navigation Bridge. Designed to provide an activity-specific control screen, these two new environments, along with the app's Charting Table and Alarm Manager environments, work hand in hand to seamlessly allow boaters to navigate using an iPad from anywhere on board their vessel.
The NavPlay Navigation Bridge environment provides users access to a full suite of instruments linked directly to their iPad. Using WiFi, the Navigation Bridge can display NMEA 0813 data such as current location in latitude and longitude, wind speed and direction, depth, speed through water, speed over ground and heading. NavPlay can be used in portrait or landscape orientations and data can be displayed in either large, easy-to-read digital numbers or a graphical representation of analog dials. For optimal visibility in all lighting conditions, the instruments can be set to either daylight or nighttime modes with contrasting backgrounds.
The NavPlay Navigation environment enables users to select routes to follow that have been created in the Charting Table environment. Once selected, boaters can directly engage their Autopilot. This allows fingertip control and the freedom to change heading from anywhere on a boat. The autopilot screen can be customized with graphical images of motorboat or sailboat steering wheels. In addition, NavPlay's Navigation environment displays AIS targets with detailed information, delivering greater situational awareness for collision avoidance.
"We are very excited about the navigation capabilities and functionality NavPlay brings to boaters," said Andrea Buralli, sales and marketing manager, NavPlay. "NavPlay Navigation is so simple to use and allows individuals to control the direction of their boats anywhere using their iPad in our dedicated environments. The ability to customize the Navigation Bridge is unlimited. Boaters not only have the freedom to access all of the information they need, but view it according to their exact preferences."
The NavPlay app is available for download from the Apple App Store in English, Italian, French and German, and is compatible with Apple iPad2, iPad3, iPad4, iPad mini and iPad Air models running iOS 6.0 or greater. C-Map by Jeppesen charts are not included, but can be easily purchased from NavPlay using the Jeppesen Marine tool located in the 'Service' section of the NavPlay app. NavPlay includes a worldwide vector background map to ensure usability when boaters do not have add-on mapping. Satellite images are only available while connected to the Internet.
The introductory version of NavPlay is priced at $4.99 and includes Charting Table, LogBook, Instruments Diagnostics and Experience Maker features; unlimited access to NavigationBook.com; a cloud-based backup option; as well as 15-days of free access to all navigation features. After the initial 15-days, users can purchase an additional 15-day subscription for $14.99 or purchase a 1-year subscription for $49.99. A free 90-day subscription is available to new Vesper Marine customers; details are available at vespermarine.com.

Author's Response: Oh no, not at all. Our gal still has to move in with our two amorous ellyn, not to mention there's a some more plot twists to be had. :)
Maybe I read the completed version somewhere else but I recall that this story ends with the protagonist choosing Haldir and being permitted to sail to Valinor.
Author's Response: Spoiler alert... :D

Frigates & Festoons: Fundamentals of Marine Painting
Tuesday, Jan 8, 2013 7:30p to 9:00p
de Young Museum: Koret Auditorium, de Young Museum San Francisco, CA
Illustrated Lecture: Marine painting, a distinctive genre of the fine arts, requires more detailed analysis than the aesthetic, stylistic, cultural and historical criteria by which landscape, seascape, still life and portraiture are customarily appreciated. Dr. Stuart Frank, Curator of the New Bedford Whaling Museum, explores those fundamental criteria that characterize and distinguish marine painting. Dr. Frank examines the significance of the "aha!" or "shock of recognition" phenomenon.
