Oakland A's fantasy team preview
Updated: February 21, 2008, 4:55 PM ETBy Tristan H. Cockcroft | ESPN.com
Billy Beane has been credited as the mastermind behind the Athletics' four division championships and 901 wins in his 10 seasons as general manager. Baseball people hail him as the guy who brought into the mainstream the use of statistical research in game strategy, draft approach and roster construction. There is even a book, "Moneyball," about his exploits. Perhaps you have heard of it?
But after 10 long years of squeezing something out of seemingly nothing, Beane decided this winter, ...

Guest of Honor
Michael Nagel
Mike was first exposed to wargaming when living in Brazil in the late 1970's. He started design work through the creation of play-aids for his favorite games, then started his newsletter covering Avalon Hill's Up Front! game.
Wanting to improve on Joe Balkowski's Fighting Sail led to his first published GMT game design Flying Colors in 2005, followed by Ship Of The Line, Serpents Of The Seas and Sun Of York. Mike has also designed Ancient Battles Deluxe for Victory Point Games.
He works full time for the New Jersey Courts as an application developer and manager.
Guest Speaker
Harry Pratt
The son of an Air Force Colonel, who was the head of the Strategy & Gaming division of his Intelligence section, Harry was raised from a very young age on wargames of all types. Some of his earliest memories are of playing Afrika Korps and Gettysburg with his dad. Naturally, it wasn't too long before he started writing his own games. At the age of 8 he wrote his first (space) naval-style game to use with the plastic starships he received that year for Christmas.
Over the years he has played, and written all kinds of games from fantasy, sci-fi, and historical genres, both wargames and RPGs. Finally, after being goaded into it by his friends, he released his first game professionally.
Naval Thunder: Clash of Dreadnoughts was a WWI naval game that he had playtested publicly for the first time at NAVCON the prior year.
He currently has nine titles available for sale on Wargame Vault, all of which have been top sellers on the site. He currently has two more projects underway, and at least a dozen more ideas on the back burner that he'd really like to get to someday.
Bill Gibbs
NAVCON welcomes back Bill Gibbs to speak at the NAVCON War College! Bill was the guest of honor for NAVCON 2013 and offers the gaming hobby a life of military service, continuous historical research, gaming, game design, and a still active gaming business.
A 1979 graduate of West Point, Mr. Gibbs was commissioned as an Infantry Officer and went on to become an Airborne Ranger. His major interests are World war II in the Pacific, of which he has tried almost every game published on it, and the American Civil War, for which he has visited every battlefield of the campaigns of 1864.
Since 1983 he has been the proprietor of OMEGA GAMES, an enviable record for a game company, which has issued such classic game titles as Ranger, Carrier Wars, Eastern Front Solitaire, and 1864 Year of Decision.
Bill Gibbs will be sharing several new announcements and new WWII themed products coming out this year! Don't miss this opportunity to meet and greet a war-gaming legend, Bill Gibbs!
War College
Besides wargaming, NAVCON provides a more traditional means of learning. A convention like NAVCON provides an opportunity to hold seminars about naval warfare. Starting a few years ago, NAVCON has offered its own War College with lectures on naval subjects.
The Rise of The Imperial Russian Navy
by Michael Nagel
This presentation will focus on the years 1788-1790, in the golden age of sail.
Taking the Con -Writing your own Wargames
by Harry Pratt
Harry Pratt, author of Naval Thunder will host an open format discussion on wargame design. If you like to tinker with rules, write your own homebrew systems, or even want to publish and sell rules to others, Harry will share tips and personal experiences to help you do it better.
Mare Nostrum and Carrier War Update
by Bill Gibbs
Carrier War designer and publisher Bill Gibbs gives an update on the latest progress on and research for Carrier War done in the last two years. New information has affected the War Plan Orange and On to Japan scenarios. He will also discuss the new Mare Nostum game of the war in the Mediterranean. This is a new Europa system game of Land-Air-Sea theater-wide combat produced by Diffraction Entertainment.
Door Prizes
NAVCON is pleased to announce new books and gaming products for door prizes!
Thanks to the following for providing some great door prizes:
With the large number of door prizes available, they will be awarded on both Saturday and Sunday! Each prize is a recently published shrink-wrapped product, with many being naval themed. The list is too long to mention here, however they will be on display at NAVCON. If there is one you really want, additional door prize tickets can be purchased to improve the odds of winning.
Going home with one of these great prizes can really make your NAVCON experience worthwhile. Please remember the publishers providing these great products for NAVCON and support them if you can.

Cincinnati Super-Bowl Dip
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 5 mins
Cincinnati Chili is available in stores or online. The top brands are Skyline, Gold Star and Dixie. Dixie is the superior choice as far as I'm concerned, ("Cincinnati chili for the Southern palate," is their slogan). Use the type with no beans unless you like dip with beans in it. There are also a couple of clone brands (store brands) of Cincinnati chili now available. Also, if you want to make your own, here's a recipe that you'll love: Ospidillo Cafe Cincinnati Chili No. 2. I invented this dip recipe and it's really caught on in my neighborhood. Serve it with torn-off chunks of baguette bread or, with nacho or tortilla chips. You can even use this stuff as a unique hot dog topping for something different! Enjoy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 15 ounces chili, Cincinnati-type, canned
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (not "lite" or low-fat types)
- 1⁄2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
- Spread the cream cheese on a microwave-safe plate, then top with the chili and shredded cheese.
- Microwave on HIGH just until most of the cheese is melted (about 45 seconds).
- Sprinkle the top with the minced fresh cilantro and serve with Italian bread chunks or Mexican chips.
- Enjoy the ballgame!

Wow, never thought to make this an appetizer! DH is from Cinc'y and we make our own Empress Cinc'y Chili often. Ain't nuttin' like it! His cousin sends us several cans every year, for "Emergency use only" when we need a quick fix and there isn't any in the freezer. I can whip this up today for Super bowl! Thanks Bone Man!
I'm from Cincinnati and living in Calgary...I MISS THIS CHILI DIP! Thanks for reminding me about it. Everyone up here in the north thanks you, too! YUM!
This takes only minutes to whip up, I also added in a little fresh garlic but I omitted the cilantro, thanks for the easy and delicious dip, you have some wonderful recipes Pat!...Kitten:)

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 1996
Running Time: 71
Director: Damion Roberts
Company: Unlimited Productions
Cast: Joey Silvera, Ron Jeremy, Blake Mitchell, Tony Martino, Channone, Frankie Layne, Lovette, Jack Hammer
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
The exquisite Channone and Joey Silvera turn the heat up on a bed of lava rock that climaxes to great anal action. Lovette and Martino mirror the opening scene while Blake Mitchell and the omnipresent Ron Jeremy do the slam dance. Toss in two more scenes with lush Hawaiian greenery, and you've got a pretty good vid. Just one thing: one has to wonder why Mitchell never sheds her top. Male viewers might feel cheated.

Ron Jacobs of ARCast fame just sent me an email to let me know that the ARCast he recorded at TechEd 2007 Australia is now available.
Checkout his ARCast from downunder (2.5 mins into the video) which has an interesting interview with an organisation I've done some work with.
The interesting thing is that this is a large organisation and like many large orgs have several different application platforms - a real mixed environment. These guys are using TFS to support their software development lifecycle across .NET but also their other development environments, including use of TFS for their Cobol devs on the mainframe, for IBM WebSphere artifacts (using an Eclipse plugin) as well as their Seibel environment!
If that wasn't enough, they also have developers working in different cities and using TFS across their WAN which is performing very well. Niiiiiice!
Don't ask me who the organisation is, I've been sworn to secrecy ;-)
Good job Justin, Michael!

Diabetes Health Center
Rabies Deaths Linked to Organ Transplants
Rabies Strain Usually Found in Bats continued...
The virus lives within the nervous system and is not found in the blood or detected by standard screening tests. In addition, symptoms of rabies may emerge as late as one year after infection, which would make screening for the disease difficult.
Experts say the virus was most likely passed via the nerves within the organs that were taken from the donor.
Human-to-human transmission of rabies is also very rare and has been documented in only two cases in Ethiopia. Officials believe those cases may have been caused by direct contact with saliva of an infected individual from a kiss or a bite.
But the CDC is working with all the states and hospitals involved to determine who came in contact with the donor and the recipients and who might need shots to prevent rabies.
The hospitals that cared for the donor and transplant recipients include:
- Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas
- University of Alabama-Birmingham Hospital, Birmingham, Alabama
- Christus Saint Michael Healthcare Center, Texarkana, Texas
- Wadley Regional Medical Center, Texarkana, Texas
- Good Shepherd Medical Center, Longview, Texas
Rabies can be prevented if a series of six shots is given over a 28-day period to boost the body's defenses against the virus.
However, once symptoms develop, rabies is nearly always fatal. Early symptoms in humans are non-specific and include fever, headache, and general malaise. As the condition progresses, other symptoms include:
- Insomnia
- Anxiety
- Confusion
- Slight or partial paralysis
- Excitation
- Hallucinations
- Agitation
- Excessive salivation
- Difficulty swallowing
- Fear of water

When I put in a keyword into the Focus Keyword spot, nothing ever loads or saves. It just acts like it's loading and nothing ever loads.
When I put in a keyword into the Focus Keyword spot, nothing ever loads or saves. It just acts like it's loading and nothing ever loads.
I have not checked the forum for possible solution yet, on my way to do that;
Having same issue when adding Focus Keyword on most pages and posts.
After using Check SEO, often results say keyword not in title when it is.
Using Striking theme and TN3 gallery plugin for photo and video gallery
I have exactly the same problem! :(
I didn't see anything in the forum, but I didn't dig too deep yet either. If you guys know anything, please let me know. It seems like a great plugin, but this is obviously a big problem. Thanks!
Any updates from anyone on this?
I have not found anything in forum: however, was working on this and here is what I think is happening.
When the focus keyword is entered in the dialogue box, the tool starts searching and scoring the page or post url, title, headings, subheadings, content, and any other media tags from the page or post.
When you are not hitting your target keyword, the SEO tool will spin its wheel next to focus keyword dialogue box and not stop.
When you achieve some level of SEO rating for the page or post, you will get a yellow-greeen or green SEO indicator on the page or post, and the little wheel stops spinning. At least it stops after I save the changes.
Based on this experience, I believe the tool is working, but when it does not have enough data to produce the SEO score or rating, the wheel spins till you make improvements on the score.
Let me know if that is similar to what you have happening.
Great info .. I thought the tool was pulling from Google. Did not know it was pulling from article.
Thought is was sort of a Keyword tool that pulled from Google.
The focus keyword does try to pull in suggestions, but a human is required to make choices.
The plugin is giving the SEO rating based on the key points on the Page Analysis tab
To update the score if the wheel is spinning on the focus keyword dialogue you need to save the changes
Once you get a green rating for a page or post you start to see the way it works.

As this list of dates shows, the odds of a freeze in our area is quickly coming to an end. This list shows the average dates of the last freeze for locations in our area:
While freeze temperatures have occured as late as April 25 (it happened in 1910), the airport in Meridian has not reported temperatures at or below freezing since February 25 of this year. While it seems unlikely that freezing temperatures will occur again this cool season, it is possible for another late-season cold snap.

American Muslims
Saudis Seek U.S. Muslims for Their Sect
By BLAINE HARDEN
Published: October 20, 2001
In a costly and quietly insistent campaign to spread its state religion, Saudi Arabia has been trying for decades to induce American Muslims to become followers of the puritanical Islamic sect that sustains the power of the Saudi royal family.
By building mosques across the country, sending Americans to the Middle East to be trained as imams and promoting pilgrimages to Mecca, the Saudis have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in an effort to stamp their austere version of Islam on the lives of Muslims in the United States.
That version is called Wahhabism, although the Saudis are loath to use the term in referring to their proselytizing in this country. As practiced in Saudi Arabia, Wahhabism denies equal rights to women, and its teachings have inspired the violent extremism of Osama bin Laden and the Taliban government that harbors him in Afghanistan.
"In America, the Saudis don't call it Wahhabism because they don't want to have all the albatrosses associated with the sect," said Earle H. Waugh, a professor of religion at the University of Alberta, who is the author of several books about Muslims in North America. "But they have a strong mission tradition, and they have used their money to export their ideology to America. Wahhabism says that Islam is the superior religion and must always be so."
Despite all their efforts, the Saudis' approach to Islam appears not to have found widespread acceptance in the United States and in fact seems to have faded in popularity here in recent years, perhaps because it is too rigid for a multiethnic society like America's. Experts estimate that of the two million American Muslims who attend mosques regularly, no more than 25 percent, and perhaps many fewer, adhere to the strictures of Wahhabism.
As the Saudis themselves explain, their beliefs reject aspects of Western culture that they see as deviating from fundamental teachings of the Koran. Mingling of the sexes, living in a community where alcohol is consumed, eating pork and interacting very closely with non-Muslim society are forbidden.
"A knowledgeable Muslim will find it hard to integrate into a non- Islamic society of the United States," explained Muhammad al-Alahmari, a Saudi who is chairman of the Islamic Assembly of North America, an organization based in Ann Arbor, Mich., that sends copies of the Koran to prisons and libraries.
About half the group's money, Mr. Alahmari said, comes from the Saudi government, with the rest coming from private donors, most of them Saudi.
A number of prominent religious scholars describe Wahhabism as a particularly rigid minority Islamic sect that is intolerant of other forms of Islam, unwilling to accommodate other religions and likely to create a narrow view of the world among its followers.
The sect is named for Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhab, an 18th-century clan leader whose descendants helped the Saudi ruling family unify its kingdom in 1932. Members of the Wahhab family continue to hold prominent positions in the country.
"It is not a form of Islam that most people from the rest of the world are comfortable with," said Bruce Lawrence, a professor of Islamic studies at Duke University and author of "Shattering the Myth: Islam Beyond Violence" (Princeton University Press, 2000). "While it does not, in and of itself, promote violence, there are elements and possibilities in Wahhabism for extremism."
Like many other Saudis in America, Mr. Alahmari does not like to refer to the brand of Islam that is exported from his country as Wahhabism. "We don't feel Wahhabism is something different," he said. "It is a purification of Islam."
An official at the Saudi Embassy in Washington, who for reasons of personal security spoke only on condition that he not be identified by name, said it was incorrect and unfair to refer to Wahhabism as a sect.
"It is chic today to be anti-Saudi," the official said, blaming Mr. bin Laden, who was born into a wealthy Saudi family, for the attention that has been focused since Sept. 11 on religious practice in his country. "We are a puritan system. We believe you have to go to the fundamentals, but it has nothing to do with being a sect."
Followers of Wahhabism believe that their faith should be spread around the world and that they have a special obligation to defend Islam, with violence if need be, in countries where it is already well established.
Inside Saudi Arabia, they have insisted that the government not allow women to drive and that punishment for crimes be imposed according to the Koran, with amputation of a hand for theft and beheading for capital offenses.
For all the efforts, Saudi influence appears to have waned in the last decade. In part, as Mr. Alahmari and several experts said, the reason is that the Saudi government is in debt and simply does not have much spare cash to spend on mosques and scholarships in America.
In addition, many scholars and American Muslims said, the influence of Wahhabism has faded because its inflexibility is ill suited to life in the United States and to the multiethnic mix of American Muslims. About 30 percent of Muslims in this country are African-Americans, 33 percent are of East Asian origin, and 25 percent are of Arab descent.

Rerunning the Days When NBC Ruled
If history is written by the victors, then the executives presiding over NBC's dismal prime-time performance in recent years are unlikely ever to publish a chronicle of television in the era of "American Idol," "NCIS" and other hits the network doesn't air. But there was a time when NBC ruled the ratings, and Warren Littlefield—the former president of NBC Entertainment who oversaw "Seinfeld," "Friends," "ER" and a raft of other moneymaking shows—doesn't want anyone to forget it. He also surely knows that in the television arts and sciences, people who also write books, or at least have their name on the cover, are practically authors.
Mr. Littlefield's entry in the shelf-esteem sweepstakes, "Top of the Rock," is an oral history of mostly 1990s television, with interview snippets from on- and off-screen talent and fellow executives. Mr. Littlefield is just one among many speakers, but he gets the biggest entries and wrote the swaggering, cigar-chomping introduction. The book proceeds more or less chronologically, from "Cheers," which ended in the early 1990s, to the launch of "Will & Grace" in the late '90s. With plenty of lessons about branding and managing up (the book is about television, after all), Littlefield & Co. give their versions of events, applying the golden rule of television—essentially, you've got to spin it to win it—but also settling scores along the way.
Top of the Rock
By Warren Littlefield
Doubleday, 326 pages, $27.95
"Top of the Rock" aims to be the first and last word on NBC's one-time critically acclaimed and crucially profitable Thursday-night lineup.The shows, at their height, attracted a total of 75 million viewers every week—as Mr. Littlefield notes repeatedly—and brought in more revenue than the other six nights of programming combined. (The network's Thursday prime-time lineup these days averages a paltry eight million viewers.) The first linchpin, of course, was "Cheers," which, inauspiciously, was the least-watched show in network prime time at the end of its first season, in 1982-83. It caught on during summer reruns, though, and had time to find its audience, as they say.
The did-you-know details about "Cheers" are all here: William Devane auditioned to be Sam Malone; John Lithgow was offered the role of Dr. Frasier Crane; Shelley Long was "difficult" and spent too much time in her dressing room while the weary live audience endured her costume changes. Kirstie Alley, Woody Harrelson and Bebe Neuwirth freshened things up when they joined the cast, the show hit its stride, and Mr. Littlefield—who in the '80s was an NBC programming executive and protégé of the man he would replace in the early 1990s as entertainment president, Brandon Tartikoff—was well on his way: "Cheers validated our judgment and our taste and marked the beginning of our discovery of who we were as a network." The new commandment: Have faith in the talent, and ye shall profit.
NBC hit it big again with the beginnings of the "Law & Order" franchise and "The Cosby Show," the top series on television from 1985 to 1990, though Mr. Littlefield passed on "Roseanne," featuring a stand-up comic whose act he found "vulgar and kind of gross." (ABC signed up Roseanne Barr instead and landed a ratings winner.) Then General Electric bought a controlling stake in NBC in 1986, and network executives were forced to make their annual numbers and think more about profit and loss than profligacy and gloss. Robert Wright, NBC's new CEO, predicted the rise of cable stations and a segmented audience, and Mr. Littlefield had to figure out how to keep viewers tuned in to a broadcast network. The unlikely answer: "Seinfeld."
In the "Top of the Rock" account, when Mr. Littlefield succeeded Brandon Tartikoff, he faced a bad economy (if you really want to know, "high unemployment and government deficits were putting downward pressure on the advertising marketplace"), but he could pick shows more freely: "President of entertainment at NBC . . . was about as close to king of the world as a suit could get in the TV business at the time." Tartikoff (who died in 1997) had resisted "Seinfeld" as "too Jewish," we're told, and in 1989 had buried the pilot, which drew a tepid audience response. But Mr. Littlefield, who claims that he was "nearly as confident in the potential of Seinfeld as Jerry himself," saw "no reason" not to give the quirky comedy a shot after Tartikoff left the network in 1991 to run Paramount Pictures.
Rather than bask in the reflected glow of his golden touch in "Top of the Rock," Mr. Littlefield keeps turning the spotlight on himself, popping up to deliver jaw-dropping ratings updates, put them in context, pat himself on the back and exit stage right until the next compliment from a former colleague is delivered.
One prominent ex-colleague who seems not to have been interviewed for the book is veteran TV producer Don Ohlmeyer, who was installed above Mr. Littlefield on the corporate ladder in 1993. Mr. Ohlmeyer is portrayed in the book as a drinker, a yeller and someone who, according to Mr. Littlefield's longtime assistant, wore "blue satiny jogging outfits with loafers and no socks. Loafers!" In Mr. Littlefield's telling, "Don dried out, but he only managed to become more insufferable" and "Don was first a drunk bully and then a sober bully, but always a bully." Management tip: NBC executives pushed things through by telling Mr. Ohlmeyer, "Yeah, you approved that yesterday."
The NBC streak continued with "Mad About You" (Paul Reiser starred with Helen Hunt, not co-star candidates Teri Hatcher or Valerie Bertinelli) and "Wings," aka "Cheers Lite." "Frasier" became the rare successful spinoff. Then writers Marta Kauffman and David Crane showed up with what they were calling "Six of One." The name was changed to "Friends"—and another future hit that at first tested poorly with audiences but found its footing during summer reruns.
The "Friends" section of "Top of the Rock" is the longest and most successful, perhaps because Ms. Kauffman, Mr. Crane and stars Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer seem generally funny and self-effacing (though Mr. Schwimmer blathers on too long about Acting and Thee-a-tuh). We learn that Mr. Schwimmer's mother, a divorce lawyer, encouraged the six cast members to more or less unionize and ask for the same wages. Each got $100,000 an episode early on, a nice salary for a fledgling show; the dollars would escalate along with the ratings. Mr. Littlefield doesn't have much to say about the "Friends" years, though he does allow: "I was the recognizable name and face of NBC Entertainment."
Famed for its comedy lineup, NBC rounded out "Must See TV" Thursday with a medical drama, "ER," which over time generated $3 billion in world-wide revenue. There were more successes—"3rd Rock From the Sun," "Just Shoot Me!" and "Will & Grace." (Mr. Ohlmeyer, we're told, called it "Grace & Gay.") But when Jerry Seinfeld decided he wanted a life instead of a TV show, coincidentally or not, Mr. Littlefield's slow exit began. He suspected that Mr. Ohlmeyer turned Mr. Wright and GE chief executive Jack Welch against him: "I'd come to feel I no longer had to listen to everything Don had to say, and Don seemed to believe he was more responsible for NBC's turnaround than I was."
With NBC dropping from the No. 1 network to No. 4 after Mr. Littlefield's 1998 departure, he can't help clucking at the wolves who took over his creative henhouse. His eventual replacement, Jeff Zucker, it seems, is the biggest and baddest of them. One executive described the NBC schedule as so strong that "even Jeff Zucker needs four years to destroy it." By 2004, Thursdays on NBC meant Donald Trump and "The Apprentice."
Of course, there's nothing objectionable about a former captain of industry calling together his loyal troops to reminisce about the glory days. But as interesting as Mr. Littlefield's tale is, surely there is a different book—with a different laugh track, with another kind of spin—waiting to be written.
—Mr. Prince is an editor who lives in Connecticut.

And my control.php file displays and says it's installed correctly.
But when I run a compatibility check on a site I get:
Opcode cache: Not installed
Memcache extension: Not installed
Mime type detection: Not installed
What gives?
Thanks in advance :-)

Four days of Daytona testing are in the books for half of the Nextel Cup teams.
So what have we learned?
Trying to read too much into initial test sessions is similar to attempting to predict the Super Bowl champion from the first week of preseason games.
But we'll bravely make an effort to point out a few key observations from the first week of track time for the 2007 season:
Biggest Winner Of The Week
Tony Stewart. And he wasn't even there! Mike McLaughlin, who filled in for Stewart in the No. 20 Chevrolets, was consistently fast in both cars. No wonder Stewart elected to skip it.
McLaughlin posted speeds in the top five in three of the five sessions he ran. He topped the speed charts on the first session Wednesday and was second in the first session Tuesday. And McLaughlin placed both cars in the top 10 of three sessions.
Surprisingly Good
Tony Raines. Hey, check that carburetor.
Raines posted top-five speeds in four of the five sessions he raced. He topped the first session Monday with a lap of 183.974 mph in the No. 96 DLP Chevy.
That brought a few jokes around the garage that the DLP boys must have gone back to the carburetor they used during Daytona qualifying last year.
Someone at Joe Gibbs Racing inadvertently grabbed a carburetor out of the wrong bin and placed it on the engine. The illegal part was discovered in a post-qualifying inspection.
So the new Hall of Fame Racing team of Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach debuted in the penalty box. But the team looked darn good this week with a regulation carburetor.
"We have one car in qualifying trim and one car we've been drafting with," Raines said. "The car in qualifying trim seems to be driving better. I hope we bring that one for the race. It's stacking up pretty well against some of the other good cars. We're excited about that."
Remember, Raines wasn't driving the car in the Daytona 500 last year. Terry Labonte -- with his past champion's provisional -- drove the first five races while Raines watched from the pit box.
Team Winner
Joe Gibbs Racing. The two winners above make this a no-brainer. Hall of Fame Racing leases its equipment from JGR. A Gibbs-built car placed in the top 10 of all five test sessions it had a driver on the track, and posted the top speed in two test sessions.
Biggest Loser Of The Week
Kasey Kahne. Maybe they were sandbagging. If not, the folks at Evernham Motorsports have some work to do.
Kahne posted the slowest speed in four of the six sessions. Things finally improved on Wednesday when Kahne had the 10th-quickest lap at 186.316 in the No. 9 Dodge Dealers Charger.
Kahne won a series-best six races last year and made the Chase for the first time.
Maybe it's just this track. Kahne has yet to post a top-10 finish in six Daytona starts.
Encouraging Sign
Ricky Rudd and Robert Yates Racing. Rudd has not forgotten how to wheel a race car. He led the final test session Thursday and posted top-10 speeds in the first three sessions.
Rudd placed the No. 88 Ford in the top 15 in all six outings. He didn't show any rust after his one-year layoff. But the best news is RYR's cars ran near the front all week.
Learning Curve
Toyota not so hot (yet). The new Toyotas had some good moments this week, but overall, nothing to brag about.
The best day for the new Camrys was Wednesday. Dale Jarrett was second in the second session with a lap at 186.517 in the No. 44 car. Dave Blaney ranked in the top 10 in three sessions.
But Toyota teams failed to place a car in the top 10 in three of the sessions. None of the six Camrys was better than 34th in the first session.
"All of it is a learning process for us," said Brian Vickers. "We've just got to have smooth tests, nothing go wrong, get laps on the car, try stuff and learn to communicate."
The Cruising Champ
Jimmie Johnson. His broken wrist still is healing, but it didn't stop Johnson from taking up where he left off at Daytona. The 2006 Cup champion and defending Daytona 500 winner was near the top of the speed charts out of the gate.
Johnson ranked in the top five in three of the first four sessions, including second in the first outing Monday.
Confidence Winner
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt felt so good about how things were going in the No. 8 Chevy that he decided to blow off the third day and go home.
Earnhardt turned laps in the top 10 in the first two test sessions before leading the afternoon session on Tuesday. He decided to call it quits while he was on top.
Junior returned to North Carolina and handed the driving duties over to half brother Kerry on Wednesday.
Faster Than Expected
Jeff Green. Green and the No. 66 Chevy ranked in the top six in three of the five sessions he turned laps. He also posted the fastest lap of the week at 186.772 mph in the afternoon session on Wednesday.
Winning Manufacturer
Chevrolet. Chevy drivers led four of the six sessions. Ford took the other two. But Chevys occupied nine of the top 10 spots in the first session Wednesday and seven out of the top 10 in the morning session on Tuesday.
Losing Manufacturer
Dodge. The Dodge teams didn't have a car in the top 10 in three of the six sessions. No Charger driver made it into the top three all week.

In the mathematical field of group theory, the monster group M or F1 (also known as the Fischer–Griess monster, or the Friendly Giant) is a group of finite order.It is a simple group, meaning it does not have any proper non-trivial normal subgroups (that is, the only non-trivial normal subgroup is M itself).
The finite simple groups have been completely classified (see the Classification of finite simple groups). The list of finite simple groups consists of 18 countably infinite families, plus 26 sporadic groups that do not follow such a systematic pattern. The monster group is the largest of these sporadic groups and contains all but six of the other sporadic groups as subquotients. Robert Griess has called these six exceptions pariahs, and refers to the others as the happy family.The monster group is one of two principal constituents in the Monstrous moonshine conjecture by Conway and Norton, which relates discrete and non-discrete mathematics and was finally proved by Richard Borcherds in 1992.
In this setting, the monster group is visible as the automorphism group of the monster module, a vertex operator algebra, an infinite dimensional algebra containing the Griess algebra, and acts on the monster Lie algebra, a generalized Kac–Moody algebra.

First stripe picture 1958. From 1960 has worked exclusively with uniform hard-edged, top-to-bottom and all over stripes; his works include many wall-sized paintings with several hundred narrow pin-stripes of different colours, creating a colour interplay of great complexity.

Roller Coaster From Annie Hall Returning to Coney Island, in Name at Least
The new Thunderbolt is a bit fancier.
Accompany a Woody Allen fan to Coney Island and they'll probably start talking about the Thunderbolt, the wooden roller coaster that stood east of the current MCU Park until the city tore it down in 2000, and which roared over Allen's fictional childhood home. (There really was a house there.) The new Thunderbolt, to be built in the same location by Luna Park owner Central Amusement International, will be made of metal, stand 125 feet tall, and go 65 mph. There's no mention of a new house underneath.

On June 20, 2015, a little after 9 a.m., a runner in Allentown's Lehigh Parkway noticed something blocking the path.
It had been over 20 years since the start of the Civil War. But nobody in Allentown had seen the telegraph key click as wildly since then as it did on July 22. 1877.
On April 27, 1917 the United States had been at war against Germany less than a month. Philadelphia was to be the recruiting center. But they would need a nearby mobilization camp.
Over the 83 years since it was founded, Pennsylvania's state controlled liquor system has seen changes that have moved with the speed of a pre-global warming glacier.
Having a history that goes back 150 years puts any town on the map. And the Carbon County borough of Lehighton has officially reached that place on the map.
On a recent warm May morning, a leasing agent for got an unexpected visitor. He was curious it seemed about the interior space of the old Allentown National Bank building.
It is high noon in downtown Allentown. As office buildings empty and lunch places fill, a sweet sound rises over the roaring traffic.
If your town had a building where discussions took place around events that changed the course of world history, wouldn't you do everything you could to save it?
On April 15, 1865, Robert H. Sayre, chief aide to Lehigh Valley Railroad founder Asa Packer and devout Episcopalian, had some sad news to record in the small, limp-leather volume of his daily diary.
Sunday, May 30, 1926 was a slow news day in south side Allentown, but it was approximately 3:15 when the drowsy stillness of a Sunday afternoon was shattered by an explosion that could be heard as far as Bethlehem.
The winter of 1920 was one of the coldest anyone in America could remember. There were even deep snow drifts in Washington D.C. But by that spring, at least among the Lehigh Valley's music lovers, it was sunny.
People driving to Palmerton will probably notice a house on a hill. It is called Marshall's Hill, after General Elisha Marshall.
There was a lot going on in Allentown 150 years ago. And not the least of it was the creation of the city's first English language Reformed Church.
It was May, 1954. Joseph Stalin, the psychopathic dictator of the Soviet Union who had killed millions and millions of people- not a few of them fellow Communists- had been dead for a little over a year.
Women hoping to break into professional baseball seem to face the ultimate glass ceiling.
Perhaps the roughest no-holds-barred election occurred in Pennsylvania in 1742. Known as the bloody election, it featured a knock-down, drag-out physical battle between the two factions that dominated the colony of Pennsylvania's politics.

In consultation with the SEPC and the APC, last fall the College launched an FWT Proposal process. This fall, we continue the process with minor adjustments.
All students submit an FWT Proposal by September 30, 2015, via an online form emailed by the FWT Office during the first week of fall term. Proposals will include two ideas for potential job sites and/or areas of interest targeted to a specific industry or cause. Sites listed do not need to be secured at the time of proposal submission, but should reflect intended areas of work exploration. FWT sites should support an educational inquiry related to translating conceptual knowledge into practice. (Students planning on a Leave of Absence, Study Abroad, Independent Study or a Summer Deferral for this year are still required to fill out the FWT Proposal form. Specific instructions for each are outlined on the form.)
Proposals will be sent directly to faculty advisors for their review. All students meet with their faculty advisors by Wednesday, October 14, 2015 (before Long Weekend) to review their proposal, dialog about academic connections, brainstorm additional ideas/contacts, and clarify next steps. Faculty do not have to approve proposals this year, but do record the date of their FWT Proposal review meeting. Ongoing fall advising sessions scheduled at student/faculty discretion may offer additional opportunities to check in about FWT planning before the FWT registration date.
This process insures that all students have the opportunity to gain faculty insights and assistance early in the fall FWT planning timeline. Students then complete an online FWT registration form by November 13, 2015 through the WorkLink system. Once a student registers, the FWT Office will:
Review the student's FWT position information; discuss concerns with students as necessary; email advisors regarding any apparent issues.
Contact the registered site supervisor to confirm the position.
Secure faculty advisor approval and determine FWT Office approval.
Email students before the end of term to notify them whether their FWT position has been fully approved.
A student's registration status is considered complete only after it receives advisor approval, supervisor confirmation, and FWT Director approval. Students will receive an email at their Bennington address within two to three weeks following registration to notify them whether their FWT position has been fully approved. (If additional information or corrections are needed, students have one week to correct the problem before being marked late.)

I thought this would be a bit much with all the hot flavors, but it really wasn't. I like the different style of a dirty martini. I also make my own pepper vodka, using the same recipe referenced in the directions. Very good martini! Made for ZWT5, RRR.

Tasting Notes
Rich and concentrated notes of dense black cherry, boysenberry, raspberry, espresso, dark chocolate and lavender are framed by sweet oak and vanilla. Rounds tannins are nicely featured on the long and silky finish.
Technical Notes
The grapes were fermented to dryness and macerated an additional 21 days to soften the tannins. The wine aged 21 months in French oak (90%) and American oak (10%).

Breast Cancer Health Center
Breast Cancer: Choosing Your Doctors and Hospitals
In this article
If you've been diagnosed with breast cancer, it's important you take time to learn the details of your specific type and stage and choose the right doctors and hospitals for your treatments.
How to Find a Breast Cancer Specialist
Your own primary care doctor is a good first source. She can give you a referral. Your doctor should know from experience who the most appropriate cancer specialists are in your area.
You can also search on line. Look for reliable web sites such as the American College of Surgeons or American Society of Clinical Oncology. You can also look at the web sites of universities, medical schools, or the federal government. By searching, you'll be able to find cancer specialists and learn more about your cancer.
Hospitals offer free and confidential telephone or online referral services for finding doctors. They give you information about a doctor's professional background. Insurance companies can also provide you names of cancer specialists along with referral requirements.
Researching Credentials
Once you have a few names, find out:
- How many procedures or cases the doctor has been involved with
- The doctor's areas of special interest or research
- Which hospitals the doctor is affiliated with
- Whether the doctor is board-certified in the area of specialization
- Any fellowships completed in cancer care (surgery, radiation therapy, medical oncology)
- Where the doctor was trained
If you can't find the information, call the doctor's office and ask some questions.
Meeting Your Breast Cancer Team
Cancer is a disease best treated by a team of experts trained in different fields.
A medical oncologist oversees the course of cancer treatment for most patients and also manages any chemotherapy patients might receive.
Surgery may be performed by a general surgeon or a surgical oncologist, a surgeon who specializes in treating cancer, with many specializing in breast cancer.
A radiation oncologist will develop your treatment plan for radiation therapy if it's required.
The team can also include plastic surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, medical specialists in obstetrics/gynecology and other areas, oncology nurses, pharmacists, social workers, dietitians, and more.

The East Taieri Dog Park is getting some improvements.
Mosgiel Taieri Community Board member Sarah Nitis said the
Dunedin City Council had approved fencing around a pond
and would install a recycled bus shelter in the park to
provide shelter for dog owners.
The provision of lighting and the eradication of barley grass
were being investigated, she said.
Dog park users had asked the council to tackle the issues in
a submission on its draft annual plan for 2014-15.

Solid Cheap Hammer
By TrueMaroonGrind

For the price you can't do any better. Solid lightweight hammer and the nail setter is a plus. I think I paid $7 for it, so if you can find a better hammer for $7 please let me know.
Works like a charm!

I use for around the house. This is a good tool box hammer, has a nice textured grip to it to make it easier to hold. Nice weight to it, and it's sturdy. For $8 you can't go wrong here.

Needed a replacement hammer for electrical rough-in work. The hammer feels good in my hand and does the job well enough to give it 4 stars. I am not entirely pleased with the smooth face grind on the hammer for installing nail boxes and staples but it could be my adjustment from using a light waffle framing hammer.All and all - great hammer for light projects !
