Justin Allgaier earns Dash 4 Cash bonus check at Indy
RELATED: Full race results " Standings " Chase Grid SPEEDWAY, Ind. -- Justin Allgaier won the season's fourth and final Dash 4 Cash paycheck Saturday afternoon at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Allgaier finished fifth in the XFINTY Series' Lilly Diabetes 250, which was won by Sprint Cup Series regular Kyle Busch. But the effort was one position ahead of Allgaier's JR Motorsports teammate Elliott Sadler , and that was enough to earn the special $100,000 incentive. The race for the bonus money got intense in the final laps with Allgaier passing Elliott in Turn 4 on the last restart with two laps remaining to take the position and take the incentive money. "Under that last caution, I was thinking, 'Hey I'm racing a teammate' and that changes the game," Allgaier said. "Just knowing he was a teammate and had the same stuff I did, how do you force the pass? I was fortunate. We got behind him coming off Turn 4. ... It was the only time today I went through Turn 4 perfectly and was able to get next to him and then pass him. "Everything had to come down to that perfect moment. Just very fortunate to get up here with this check." Only full-time XFINITY Series championship competitors are eligible to collect in the four-race Dash 4 Cash incentive. Four drivers are set through two 20-lap heat races before a 60-lap main event. Allgaier , Elliott, Daniel Suarez and Erik Jones qualified to be participants at Indy. Series rookie Jones won the Dash 4 Cash money twice (at Bristol and Dover) this season while Ty Dillon (Richmond) won once. Jones' two victories would have been enough to put him in the XFINITY Series' inaugural Chase for the championship this year, but he earned a position anyway as the race winner in the Bristol race. Allgaier , who drives the No. 7 BRANDT Chevrolet, joked after the race that he absolutely planned to keep the oversized check recognizing the Dash winner. It was the first time he'd won the award. "Been trying to get up here and hold one of these checks up here and finally got to today," Allgaier said. "This one goes home with me and will go on the wall for sure. Really proud to be able to hold one of these checks up." The race result for Allgaier was also significant in the big picture, moving him up two positions in the XFINITY Series standings to fourth place, only 16 points behind third place Ty Dillon . Suarez still leads the championship by 14 points over Sadler entering the next race -- an XFINITY stand-alone event next Saturday at Iowa Speedway.

Allgaier eager to forget Daytona disappointment, find Victory Lane
SPARTA, Ky. -- Standing in his hauler post-practice in an attempt to cool off at a humid Kentucky Speedway, Justin Allgaier reflected on the disappointment of one weekend earlier -- but is ready to put the misfortune in his rearview mirror. "Friday night obviously was one of the hardest, hardest times," Allgaier told NASCAR.com about the XFINITY Series thriller. Daytona's Subway Firecracker 250 saw the JR Motorsports wheelman vying for the win -- during an overtime finish -- with Sprint Cup Series regular Aric Almirola . When an eight-car crash erupted behind the dueling pair, NASCAR parked the field to determine the finishing order, eventually ruling Almirola the victor. "It's disappointing but when you finish second at Daytona and you're that close … you know you've done everything that you can do and you can't really be too disappointed," Allgaier said. In his first full-time season with JR Motorsports, the Illinois native and his No. 7 team have, despite last week's disappointment, thrived together with six top fives and 12 top-10 results. And he carries mometum to Kentucky's 1.5-mile track as four of his top 10s -- Atlanta, Las Vegas, Texas and Charlotte -- come at intermediate tracks. One thing, however, is missing on this season's list of triumphs is that coveted trip to Victory Lane. "We've had some races where things have not gone our way and not gone the way we thought they were going to go," he said. "With all of that being said, if we keep putting races together and doing them the way we are going now, we're in Victory Lane on quite a few of these races." And Allagier believes that one of "these races" could, indeed, be Friday's Alsco 300 (8:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). "We definitely have a car not only competing out front, but competing for a win."
Kyle Busch holds off Harvick for third straight XFINITY win
RELATED: Full race results " Series standings " Every winner in 2016 SHOP: Busch gear SPEEDWAY, Ind. -- About the only thing Kyle Busch didn't win on Saturday was the one prize he wasn't eligible for. But the driver of the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota won everything else, capping a phenomenal day at Indianapolis Motor Speedway with a victory in the Lilly Diabetes 250 NASCAR XFINITY Series race -- and he did so with tires that were 23 laps older than those of his pursuers. Busch led 62 of 63 laps but had to hold off Kevin Harvick on a two lap dash in overtime to win for the third time at the Brickyard, the seventh time in 11 starts this season and the 83rd time in his career, extending his series record. The XFINITY race was actually the fourth competition Busch won on Saturday. First, he won the top starting spot for the Lilly Diabetes 250, the 54th pole of his career. Next, he won the pole position for Sunday's Crown Royal 400 (3 p.m. ET on NBCSN), one of the marquee NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events of the season. After that Busch led all 20 laps and took the checkered flag in the first heat race under the XFINITY Series' final Dash 4 Cash event of the season. Busch didn't win the $100,000 Dash 4 Cash bonus, a prize available only to series regulars. That check went to Justin Allgaier , who rolled home in fifth place, the highest finisher among the four drivers who earned eligibility in the heat races. Busch, however, has one more mountain to climb. On Sunday, he'll attempt to complete his second straight weekend sweep at the vaunted Brickyard. Busch held off Harvick, third-place finisher Paul Menard and fourth-place Kyle Larson even though Busch had stayed out on old rubber while those behind him pitted for new tires under the first caution on Lap 50. "The new tires for those guys were good for them but not so good for us," Busch said. "I just dug in deep and gave it everything I had. I knew I had to get really good restarts. On the second-to-last one (on Lap 54), I got a really good one, and then the last one (on lap 62 in overtime), it was OK. "I got an OK one, and I saw Harvick pull out… but he never got alongside of me. I never felt him close enough that he was going to pull alongside. ... It's a pretty awesome feeling to be able to go back to Victory Lane here this year. We're sitting on the pole tomorrow, and hopefully we can have another sweep here." Busch had a lead of more than eight seconds on Lap 48 of a scheduled 60 when JGR teammate Erik Jones , the wire-to-wire winner of the second heat race, blew a right rear tire entering Turn 1 and spun, causing the afternoon's first caution. While Busch and series leader Daniel Suarez stayed out on old tires, the remaining eight lead-lap cars came to pit road. Busch survived the restart on lap 54, but a lap later, ay Black Jr. and Harrison Rhodes wrecked off Turn 2 to bring put the second yellow and force the overtime. On the Lap 62 restart, Harvick pushed Larson, then ducked to the inside but was reluctant to take a bad angle into the first corner. As Harvick and Larson battled briefly for second, Busch pulled away and ultimately crossed the finish line .411 seconds ahead of Harvick's No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet. "I really thought I could beat him down the backstretch if I got off of (Turn) 2 well and could clear the 42 (Larson)," Harvick said. "I got to the inside and kind of hit the chip and decided to hold the line up a little bit and try to get a run, and the 42 got stuck on the outside and that ruined my plan. "But our goal was to overachieve today, and we did that and capitalized on some situations and had a couple of good restarts and wound up second. All in all, it wasn't a bad day." Just nowhere near as good as the one Busch had.
Allgaier comes up short in Daytona's reviewed finish
RELATED: Results " Chase Grid " Standings DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The fast and furious finish in Friday night's Subway Firecracker 250 Powered by Coca-Cola didn't go Justin Allgaier 's way, but the JR Motorsports driver still managed a smile afterward. "When you come home second two restrictor-plates races in a row with fairly non-torn up race cars, it does make it nice," the No. 7 Chevrolet wheelman said. "But still this one's going to hurt for a little while." Aric Almirola and Allgaier were running first and second, side-by-side during an overtime finish when the caution flag appeared for the final time at Daytona International Speedway . Officials didn't immediately throw the caution when an eight-car crash on the backstretch unfolded on Lap 103 of the originally-scheduled 100-lap race, and it appeared the battle for the win might go all the way down to finish line in the NASCAR XFINITY Series event. But eventually the yellow caution lights flashed, and Allgaier was left to wonder if he or Almirola was out front at the crucial moment. WATCH: Final XFINITY Series restart at Daytona "The last restart was crazy," Allgaier said. "Coming down to the end of the race there we knew it was going to be all out and everyone was going to do everything they could to get to the end. T.J. Majors, my spotter, he called the crash off of Turn 2. I pulled to the outside of Aric just trying to get any run that I could and actually had some momentum and then kind of stalled out in the middle of (Turns) 3 and 4. "Had some momentum coming back and unfortunately the (caution) light switch flipped maybe a 16th of a foot too early for me to get the win." Teammates Chase Elliott and Elliott Sadler finished ninth and 18th, respectively. Had Allgaier been flagged the winner Saturday night, it would have been a sweep of the plate tracks for JRM. Elliott won the season-opener here in February while Sadler scored the victory at Talladega Superspeedway . "I told them before the race this is the best race car I've ever had at a superspeedway," Allgaier said. "We came really close to sweeping all the restrictor plate races this year at JR Motorsports and that's a testament to the guys back at the shop, the Hendrick engine department, everybody that's involved in these cars. It's a lot of fun when you know that your race car is capable of winning every week." Ryan Sieg , Joey Logano and Brendan Gaughan completed the top five. The race was slowed by eight cautions and was red-flagged for nearly eight minutes for a 14-car crash -- the "Big One" -- on Lap 16. Friday's race rekindled memories of the Talladega finish, which also required video evidence to determine a winner after the caution appeared as Sadler and Brennan Poole battled for the lead. Allgaier said he did not question the timing of Saturday's final caution call but he wasn't in a hurry to lift and possibly throw away a win either. "I think Aric and I ran the whole rest of the lap, even after we got through the debris, trying to just be a little bit faster than other one, stay out in front, maybe that would be the determining factor," he said. "It's so hard. At the point we were at, I don't know if it would have been better to (race) back to the line. It's the same scenario as Talladega. … If they call it a little bit before, we're ahead, if they call it a little bit later, we're ahead. But right where they called it we were behind. It is what it is. "When they come down to the end like that you know it's going to be crazy. … Unfortunately, we were just a little bit behind." The runner-up finish kept Allgaier fourth in points. Daniel Suarez remains the points leader in spite of a 32nd-place finish caused by a crash that sidelined the Joe Gibbs Racing driver after just 48 laps. He now leads Sadler by six points (499-493).

Allgaier struggles with footing at rainy Pocono
RELATED: Full race results " Post-Pocono standings LONG POND, Pa. -- Justin Allgaier was patiently waiting out Saturday's rain-interrupted Pocono Green NASCAR XFINITY Series race in his JR Motorsports team hauler. Crew members wandered back and forth between the hauler and the garage stall, where the No. 7 Chevrolet was in a state of mid-repair. The red flag was out, putting work on the car on hold. And then rain-interrupted became rain-shortened. "Honestly, I'm hoping we can get back out there," Allgaier said before the inaugural XFINITY Series race at Pocono Raceway was called with 53 of 100 laps completed. "If we don't, we won't be able to get back out there and get those points. "But that's how racing goes, right?" Rain showers came and went, negating constant attempts to return the track to race-ready conditions. Finally the decision was made to call the race officially completed. And Allgaier found himself saddled with a 39th-place finish in a 40-car field, only the second result outside the top-12 this season. MORE: Relive the day in photos Just moments after a restart following a competition caution (Laps 17-19), Allgaier's Chevrolet had slid up into the outside wall in the Tunnel Turn. There was no contact from another vehicle but both the car and Larson's expectations suffered heavy damage. "When I went to turn down into Turn 2, I started wrecking as soon as I turned off the wall and ultimately ended up crashing more toward the exit," he said. "It was one of those crashes that seemed like it was never going to end. "It was just one of those situations where maybe it was just aero. Get behind two cars, having a car behind me just unhooked the car that much. "The part that's frustrating is this is one of those race tracks on our schedule that I had circled, that I couldn't be more excited to come to. I'd been asking (track president) Brandon Igdalsky if he could make it happen for like the last six years. "The fact that we finally got it here and then here we are making, what, 16, 17, 18 laps, something like that? A frustrating day for sure." The frustrations have been few and far between this season for the soon-to-be 30-year-old. In his first start with the team this year at Daytona, he finished 12th. He finished 10th or better in the next six races and the previous three heading into Saturday's event. The only bump came at Richmond, where Allgaier raced off pit road with the lead only to crash after contact with Brennan Poole on the restart and wound up 35th. Third in points coming into the series' 12th stop, the Pocono result dropped him four spots to seventh and he now trails points leader Daniel Suarez by 53. The team's consistency hasn't been surprising, he said, but that it came so quickly was somewhat unexpected. Former XFINITY Series driver Regan Smith won twice with the team just last year and finished fourth in points before making the move back into the Sprint Cup Series garage. The driver change was significant; the crew, headed up by crew chief Jason Burdett, for the most part has been left intact. "I knew that the group at JR Motorsports that I was getting was a great group," Allgaier said. "I knew they worked really well together, that things would be pretty seamless as far as how well they worked … a few changes from what they had last year but for the most part pretty similar. "Obviously, the communication between the crew chief and driver and all that takes time to figure out if it's going to work or not. That's probably the part that surprised me. … I'm not surprised that we've had the season we've had, but I am surprised that we did it as early as we did." Sprint Cup Series regular Kyle Larson , who led 27 of the 53 completed laps, won Saturday's inaugural event -- his first XFINITY Series win of 2016.

A druid priestess enlists the help of an ex-Hospitaller warrior and a charismatic outlaw to fight Austrian tyranny in medieval Switzerland. A subtle blend of fantasy and history, Altdorf tells the events leading up to one of the greatest underdog stories of the medieval age, the Battle of Morgarten.
"Re-imagining the William Tell legend—without William Tell."
At the end of the thirteenth century, five hundred orphans and second sons are rounded up from villages in the Alpine countryside and sold to the Hospitaller Knights of St John. Trained to serve as Soldiers of Christ, they fight in eastern lands they know nothing about, for a cause they do not understand.
Thomas Schwyzer, released from his vows by the Grandmaster of the Hospitallers, returns to the land of his birth a stranger. Once a leader of men, and captain of the Order's most famous war galley, he now settles into the simple life of a ferryman. He believes this new role to be God's reward for years of faithful service fighting the Infidel in Outremer.
Seraina, considered a witch by most, a healer by some, is a young woman with a purpose. A Priestess of the Old Religion, and the last Druid disciple of the Helvetii Celts, she has been gifted by the Great Weave to see what others cannot. Her people need her guidance and protection now more than ever. For Duke Leopold of Habsburg, in his efforts to control the St. Gotthard Pass, builds a great Austrian fortress in Altdorf. Once finished, the Habsburg occupation will be complete, but the atrocities visited upon her people will have just begun.
Set in medieval Switzerland, ALTDORF, a novel of The Forest Knights, is the first
book in a two-book series.

I read alot of books and most of the time I just devour them one after the other. Most of the time they just blend together and I would describe them as pleasant time fillers. Once in a while I am fortunate enough to find a book like this one. It was a book like this one that turned me into a book lover. The story lines of that first book and this one were nothing alike, that first one was alot less sophisticated as I was only 7 at the time, and they only have one thing that they share and that is the way they took me out from myself. that first book, this one and the other special ones Ive found over the years have brought me new friends, shown me wonderful new worlds, made me laugh and cry, taught me new skills, made me more intelligent and more tolerant. In all ways I have been enriched by those wonderful few. This is the first time Ive read one of J.K.Swifts' books and I look forward to the long and happy relationship I see in our future where he or she writes the books and I get to read them.
I stumbled through all of the intro to characters, surroudings, and plot. But once I got hooked, I was in for a long sit down of reading. This book is well written and edited. The story relly kept me interested!
This was a well written story. Just enough fantasy with the fey to intrigue, enough sadness to authenticate and enough interesting charactures to sink your mind into.
Very well written even if the author did take some liberty with the time frame. The characters were likeable and the bad guys were to the time frame BAD. I will recommend this book and am not sure why the follow up is so expensive.
Lots of action, interesting story and the characters are great! Makes you angry, makes you cheer, makes you want the rest of the story. And I will now move on to the next.
I loved it! Not the typical fantasy with gaudy fireballs and a system of magic. It was historic, organic, and the heroes are gritty and believable.
I really enjoyed reading this book, a classic "Swords and Horses" thriller. Once I got used to the names (they are in Germany and Austria) I became attached to the characters and enjoyed the story. I have recommended to several of my friends and co-workers already. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Highly recommend.
Although starting out a difficult read due to its historical nature, this book was so well written that I kept going. Captivating is the best word that I can use to describe.
Who knew that Swiss medieval history could be so captivating! As fascinating as any fiction or nonfiction book of English or French medieval history on which there are works in abundance? I am giving it four stars only because of the opening chapters which I found confusing, lacked a good ser up/introduction, or foundation, making me want to bail on the book. Otherwise, well done. Very well done!
A perfect melding of mysticism and realism. I look forward to reading more of swifts work.
This book was a recommendation and I'm glad I listened. I enjoyed the characters, their histories and the story line follows a time in history that I was glad to learn more about. Great story telling!
This story will pull you in. A cast of characters, good and bad. Well done. Looking forward to the next book
Altdorf is an engaging story. It is full of well rounded, likable, (for the most part) characters. I will be reading the rest of the series.
Good read that brings you into a vein of history that most have no idea about. Good historical fiction makes you want to look into actual history.
Two books to the series and wish there were more. Very well written.
Swift has put together a great novel here. With an interesting plot with many suprises, mixed with historic background maked for all around great read.
I want to say first this was a very good book. But i did not like how the first 100 pages jumped toi diffrent people. But saying that i wanted to keep reading to fine out what happened next. Can't wait to reed #2
Well written story with excellent character development. Very intriguing page turner. Can't wait to read the next book.
One of the best war books i have read in a while!!
loved this book! just bought the second one and can't wait to see where it takes me!!
Great book
Captivating read. Loved the depth of the characters. Purchasing the second one now.
I enjoyed the characters and the blend of fantasy and reality. Would have liked a little more about the priestess and the mighty wolf. Overall a great read!
Enjoyed the story and the historical references!

Nice rooms for the price
It was okay. If in the room it was good. Outside was really busy and loud.
Rooms basic and great for what we needed, a one-night stay on our vacation. We reserved two rooms (one was for family members. Their "non-smoking" room reeked of smoke. Maybe just the people before us, but smelled like an on-going thing. We were given another room easily with no questions.
Booked 4 rooms, arrived late, one room had a broken door lock, another smelled like smoke though it was billed as non-smoking. It was a bed.
Only stayed overnight for medical appointment. Hotel appears to be undergoing renovations. Was given a room toward the back end of property, it was quiet w/o any noise from the freeway. Concerned at first that I could not see my parked vehicle, door to room faced the courtyard/pool area, but the property is well lighted at night so didn't worry too much. Room was large with comfortable bed, clean but missing a trash can. I improvised and used a paper bag since I was only staying overnight. Cannot comment on breakfast, did not participate. Not sure that I would stay again due to distance from appointment setting, further away than I estimated.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

A tuning technique is proposed for the location of hot spots in proteins using a bandpass notch (BPN) digital filter. The technique involves tuning the notch frequency of the filter over a small frequency range. To facilitate tuning, a user-friendly graphical interface has been implemented using MATLAB. Simulations have shown that the use of the tuning technique leads to improved hot-spot predictions compared to results obtained using untuned BPN filters.

Ratings & Reviews
8 Reviews for Vegas Towers
Sort by:
Vegas Towers provides a safe and luxury environment to live in. It is close to the strip and the apartment bedrooms are a great size. The view of the Las Vegas strip from the huge balconies are a plus. We enjoy using the new fitness facility and barbecues outside. The 24 hour security person makes us feel safe. I appreciate how the office staff is approachable and helpful.
The staff is attentive to my needs and there are major improvements being made to the overall physical property.
The management and all the staff are wonderful . If anything brakes down in the apartment they send someone in a hour and they fixe it . Don't plan to move from Vegas Towers for years . Thank you
The staff takes care of all concerns in a timely manner.
Caring and helpful staff. Repairs made rapidly. Nice changes to apartments and general areas. Can not wait for pool to be complete

What is a Certified Resident?
A resident who lives at the property and has completed a resident satisfaction survey.
Advertising properties provide a list of email addresses of its residents to Kingsley Associates, a third party market research firm, who then sends out the satisfaction survey to the residents. Properties may also conduct satisfaction surveys of its residents through other third party market research firms. In those cases, we will publish those survey responses as long as the questions conform to our standard survey format.
Because reviews are from Certified Residents, and are managed by a third party, you can feel confident that the feedback provided is accurate and trustworthy.

Stayed overnight. Make sure you get directions from park web site or call. There is a lot of road construction coming off interstate and your GPS may disappoint you. Once you go down the long road, (which is near residential areas) follow the signs (there are several) to the end (even when you see the Dead End sign). The last sign will turn you left into park about 200 yards away. If you don't you may do like we did and turn into the "Trailer Park Section".
The park is very neat and orderly and mostly under trees (and shady) which are all trimmed up, and by a nice lake. It is a pleasant environment. Our site was hard pan small gravel as is most sites, but level and had cable hook ups. We had a 44' coach and they have pull-throughs that will accommodate big rigs.
There is a Pilot Truck stop on way in or out which is convenient. We would stay here again. Because it was a holiday weekend, closed early on Saturday so did not run into staff. - Bigdogsolo

We didn't end up staying here. We came here with reviews from the internet, saying it was such a great place, clean and nice. When we got there, there was not a lot of room for a TT to go through. Most everyone there was a Seasonal with deck and toys, and just a big mess, this looked more like a run down trailer park not a "RV" "CAMP"ground. - DnCKess

This park is under new management with great ideas. They are in the process of renovating the entire place. New docks are being built and installed right now. I guarantee any problems you have had in the past will not arise again with the new owners. This is a great place to go fishing, skiing, boating, swimming, and just enjoying the outdoors. The bathrooms and showers are clean and very nice. The campers are friendly and everyone is here to have a good time. - Chet Kiefer
Jul 2009 - $25.00
This park was a joke. It was like dry camping. Our water was just a pipe stuck in the ground with no water. We had to use a garden hose to stretch to the next open lot to get water. The fire ring was a car rim just thrown down on the ground. The owner, I think he was the owner, was too mean to talk to. He did not like anyone to ask or talk to him, so we just made due with what we had. Not a good idea to make a crazy, mean man mad at you in the middle of the woods, far away from any kind of police. The people with us went to the dump. I guess it had gas build up in the dump. When she let the black tank go the dump back fired and she was covered with 3 days worth of you-know-what. So needless to say we will not be coming back here ever!!! - rv1

Nice for an overnight stop although it is several miles from interstate. 4 very long pull thru sites with about 30 back in sites. A stand of trees block satellite, on bat wing no network came in, phone service very slow for data. Still $20 a night. But they have a great little restaurant very reasonably prices with fish buffet on Friday. The hwy noise was not too bad, train was a long way away and the medavac helicopter had no flights the night we stayed. The bathhouse and laundry get very little use but do exist. - what next

We camped here overnight. It's a cute little spot, but no playground or pool for the kids. It's a very simple campground that butts up against a very small airport. The owners are local farmers and they own the airport, campground, and a small resaurant that is right next to the campgrounds. There was also a driving range w/automatic golf ball dispenser. The restaurant food was very reasonable and good. There was a flat 20$ per nite fee, no extra for the kids. The restrooms were pretty clean but needed a good "dusting". The owners were very kind people. It was a very "laid-back" campground. - rn2icu

Located off of Interstate 70 at exit 105. Not fancy but very friendly and comfortable. All regular sites were reserved but the host was able to put us in a temporary spot for the night. He then loaned us an extra power cord to reach the 30 amp plug in. The other campers were very friendly, we wished that we could stay for another night or two. Nice little pond for fishing. We would definitely stay there again. Dump site available and included in site fee. - Rick & Karen

We found this park because the local State Park was full for the busy July 4th weekend. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised how nice this campground was. While small with only 30 sites, there where 3 long term trailer along the edge. Beside those units, we had the entire park. This on a holiday weekend! This park suffers from lack of advertising or a website. All sites are on grass but the ground is hard and we didn't have any issues, even after a rain. Water and Sewer and 30 amp at all sites. Large rig friendly and several pull-through sites. This campground doesn't offer anything fancy, no Wi-Fi, no cable, no shower, but it does have a restroom with toilets only. If you want to camp near Lake Newton, or want to camp in a quiet location, this is the place for you. We have never had a nicer campsite for the price.

Robin Hood Woods Camp Resort Entry about a mile on rough, dusty gravel road. About 3/4 of sites are seasonal. Transient sites are unimproved, just natural grass but leveling was easy. Electric was low, around 117 volts. Water was high (65 psi) requiring pressure reducer. Electric service post was rotted out and leaning. Not a great impression. On the good side is: wide sites, good/free Wi-Fi, the very nice pool and catch-and-release fishing on the property. No access to the Shelbyville Reservoir however. Stay at one of the nearby COE camps for that. - BbTrombone

The son of imprisoned Iranian journalist Issa Saharkhiz says his father's health has deteriorated and he has lost a worrying amount of weight since being sent to Evin prison last November.

Following months of advocacy by VICE News, CPJ, and other groups, Iraqi journalist Mohammed Ismael Rasool was released from Turkish prison on January 5.

New York, January 16, 2016--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the release today of Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian, who spent 544 days in prison in Iran.

At a U.N. press conference on April 27 to launch CPJ's annual publication Attacks on the Press, CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon called on the U.N. Security Council to include in its May 27 debate on Journalist Safety a warning to states that they should not use national security as an excuse to jail, harass, or censor journalists.
The last three years have been the most deadly for the press, according to CPJ research. One of the reasons is the developing "terror dynamic"--non-state actors targeting journalists with violence while governments restrict civil liberties and press freedom in response. This phenomenon was amply documented in essays published in this year's edition of Attacks on the Press.
The book, which emphasizes reporting and analysis by CPJ staff and outside experts, features essays on multiple threats facing the press: the conflict in Syria, where freelancers and local journalists must adapt to an environment in which they are targets; terror and criminal groups, in countries as Syria, Nigeria, and Mexico, which document their own atrocities and disseminate them through social media; and crackdowns on the press in Ethiopia and Egypt, where governments use the threat of terror to justify repression. Several essays in the book also look at the impact of surveillance in more democratic societies, including those in Europe. The book also includes CPJ's list of the 10 Most Censored Countries.
The print edition of Attacks on the Press is published by Bloomberg Press, an imprint of Wiley, and is available for purchase.]]>

Just ok
The hotel is a pub with rooms above.
We had to climb two flights of stairs to get to our room. The room when we got there was very small almost poky, with a large stain on the carpet. The rest of the rooms décor was very very dated with poor quality flat pillows although the bed linen was spotlessly clean. Unfortunately on the day we arrived which was a Wednesday there was a notice up to say that there would be no food that night. When we mentioned this to the hotel staff they said we don't serve food any Tuesday or Wednesday, although there were a number of venues nearby that did. I would suggest that this information be put on the website so that potential customers/guests are aware before they book not when they arrive as we were. Although the staff were very friendly and approachable, this pub with rooms above was not what we were expecting.

Motorola intros new RAZR V3i phone with iTunes
Motorola on Tuesday announced the RAZR V3i, an updated version of its popular RAZR V3 mobile phone that will include iTunes and other new features. The new quad-band handset will be only the second phone with iTunes.
The RAZR V3i also features a 1.23 megapixel digital camera, microSD (TransFlash) card slot, Bluetooth, dual color screens, and an updated design with a new spun metal look. The phone will use a mini-USB stereo headset. There's no information provided regarding music storage capacity and whether the new RAZR will be crippled with a 100-song cap like the ROKR.
The only phone currently available with iTunes is Motorola's ROKR, which received widespread criticism for its poor design and performance. Including iTunes on the RAZR V3i will give the Apple-Motorola partnership and its mobile music initiative a much-need shot in the arm, industry experts say.
"Putting iTunes in the flagship phone shows that Motorola is committed to the partnership despite an early rough start," Jon Gales, editor of mobile phone news site MobileTracker, told iLounge. "Many critics (including myself) chided the ROKR for decidedly plain design and aging specs. Those don't apply with iTunes on the RAZR V3i."
The RAZR V3i is expected to be available before the end of the year. A carrier was not announced, but is widely expected to be Cingular due to its success with the original RAZR and its ties to the promotion of the ROKR phone with iTunes. Pricing has yet to be determined and will most likely depend on the carrier.

I created a ServerSocket and read messages from different clients. One of the clients insisted that my application does not behave correctly after they sent their messages. I managed to get a TCP trace and saw that they really sent their messages, but my server application did not read any data from the socket. I get a thread dump and everything seems to be ok there:

NADERA BATSON, who is scheduled to go on trial Monday for allegedly torturing her 3-year-old godson to death in 2011 with regular beatings, a blowtorch and scalding bathwater, was given a choice to ponder this weekend.
As Batson, 24, cried, Common Pleas Judge Barbara McDermott explained that if the jury convicts her of first-degree murder there is but one sentence: life in state prison without parole.
But if she accepted a deal from the District Attorney's Office to plead guilty to third-degree murder, she would get 30 to 60 years in prison.

By Chad Langager and Casey Murphy, senior analyst of ChartAdvisor.com
So far, we have discussed a lot of the ideas behind Dow theory along with its main tenets. In this section, we'll take a look at the technical approach behind Dow theory, such as how to identify trend reversals.
Closing Prices and
Another feature in Dow theory is the idea of line ranges, also referred to as trading ranges in other areas of technical analysis. These periods of sideways (or horizontal) price movements are seen as a period of consolidation, and traders should wait for the price movement to break the trend line before coming to a conclusion on which way the market is headed. For example, if the price were to move above the line, it's likely that the market will trend up.
Signals and Identification of Trends
One difficult aspect of implementing Dow theory is the accurate identification of trend reversals. Remember, a follower of Dow theory trades with the overall direction of the market, so it is vital that he or she identifies the points at which this direction shifts. (For related reading, see Retracement Or Reversal: Know The Difference.)
One of the main techniques used to identify trend reversals in Dow theory is peak-and-trough analysis. A peak is defined as the highest price of a market movement, while a trough is seen as lowest price of a market movement. Note that Dow theory assumes that the market doesn't move in a straight line but from highs (peaks) to lows (troughs), with the overall moves of the market trending in a direction. (For more on this topic, read Peak-And-Trough Analysis and The Ups And Downs Of Investing In Cyclical Stocks.)
An upward trend in Dow theory is a series of successively higher peaks and higher troughs.
Figure 1: Upward Trend
A downward trend is a series of successively lower peaks and lower troughs.
|Figure 2: Downward Trend
The sixth tenet of Dow theory contends that a trend remains in effect until there is a clear sign that the trend has reversed. Much like
A reversal in the primary trend is signaled when the market is unable to create another successive peak and trough in the direction of the primary trend. For an uptrend, a reversal would be signaled by an inability to reach a new high followed by the inability to reach a higher low. In this situation, the market has gone from a period of successively higher highs and lows to successively lower highs and lows, which are the components of a downward primary trend.
|Figure 3: Upward Trend Reversal
The reversal of a downward primary trend occurs when the market no longer falls to lower lows and highs. This happens when the market establishes a peak that is higher than the previous peak followed by a trough that is higher than the previous trough, which are the components of an upward trend.

be coming down for the next few weeks. And then I'll sell my shares to you.
No problem. I bought at $24.10 and sold at $35.50. (500 shares sold = 5700 profit). What would you have done?I'll buy your shares once we a nice low.
taking profits is fine. however, I really think that OIS is at least a 40 dollar stock. This company has grown its earnings at 29% per year since its IPO, and it is currently only trading at aroudn 12x (as we head into a big upswing in the oil patch).In fact, I think OIS could hit the 50's if the upswing is sustained.
It will take weeks for the after effects to be known. Speculation and uncertainty will keep the sector rising until the truth is known. That said, the truth may be bad enough that things will rise again. I think $80 oil is in the immediate future. With hurricane season just beginning and winter approaching this will be over $40 by Dec.

Lessons Learned in a Crisis of Life
Some lessons are learned the hard way. The stewardship of those lessons seems especially important. The significant learning I have experienced started with an illness that eventually required major surgery. But that was only the start of the process. These are among the lessons I learned in the midst of this crisis. I wanted to write them down while they are fresh. There is far more to say, but this is a start. God has given me a new chance, armed with lessons I otherwise would have missed. What can we call this but a gift?

If I have a Python module implemented as a directory (i.e. package) that has both a top level function
run and a submodule
run, can I count on
from example import run to always import the function? Based on my tests that is the case at least with Python 2.6 and Jython 2.5 on Linux, but can I count on this generally? I tried to search information about the import priorities but couldn't find anything.
I have a pretty large package that people generally run as a tool from the command line but also sometimes use programmatically. I would like to have simple entry points for both usages and consider to implement them like this:
def run(*args):
print args # real application code belongs here
import sys
from example import run
The first entry point allows users to access the module from Python like this:
from example import run
The latter entry point allows users to execute the module from the command line using both of the approaches below:
python -m example.run args
python path/to/example/run.py args
This both works great and covers everything I need. Before taking this into real use, I would like to know is this a sound approach that I can expect to work with all Python implementations on all operating systems.
