I noticed there is a rollback methed in session.I plan to use it when producer throw exception,then resend message ,so the consumer can receive messages perfectly neither more or less. However, after I tested, the rollback methed can't destroy the message ,it worked not as JDBC rollback. Is there something wrong in this solution?

We inherited a cisco wireless lan controller and ofcoarse the prior admin kept no documentation. this a complex setup they have here, so i would like to NOT default the unit. before renewing the support contract with cisco, does anyone know if there is a password recovery procedure that cisco can run through to avoid us having to default the config of the unit?
im not worried about how at the moment, im sure our support contract will take care of that, im just wondering if it is possible.
The problem is we cannot login to the web interface of the wireless lan controller...

A/N: I do not own Victorious, nor do I own A Rocket to The Moon. The song used is called, She's Killing Me by A Rocket to the Moon.
All my friends are coming over
And I hope nobody told her
She has a way of turning sunshine into rain
Beck was getting ready for the kickback, he's hosting outside his trailer. He has everything ready. Drinks, food, all that jazz. All he needed to do is change out of his dirty clothes...
I've got on that shirt she hates
I just know that face she'll make
Even though it hurts, she's my favorite pain
He threw on his 'Aerosmith' shirt on and slipped on some jeans. With a few seconds to spare, he got a text from his girlfriend, Jade.
From: Jade
Message: Hey babe, can you pick me up? Too tired to drive. XX Jade.
Beck sighed, he grabbed his keys and headed to his car.
She never drives her car, she drives me crazy
She went out of gas, and somehow I'm to blame
Beck turned on the radio and started to sing a long. He arrived at Jade's house. Jade was waiting outside for him to pick her up. He got out of the car (like any gentleman would do) and open the door for her. But Jade just looked at him like something was wrong.
"What?" Beck sighed.
"Your shirt. Why are you wearing it?" Jade said, "You know I hate Aerosmith."
"So?" Beck turned around and headed back to the drivers seat.
Beck was silent during the whole car ride. Jade complained about the music, his clothes, the air conditioning. Beck just let her complain. Once they got back to Beck's place, people were already there. Beck and Jade made their way into the middle of the crowd. Once Jade was busy having a conversation with somebody. Beck left her there.
I'll take her out and drop her off
On the outskirts of our tow,
I'll leave a trail of roses that'll lead back home (so come back home)
After two hours of peace, Jade found Beck. She was furious at him. She started yelling at him for leaving her and not taking her with him when he left. Beck rolled his eyes.
"Beck! Don't roll your eyes at me!" Jade told him.
Beck grabbed her wrists and kissed her cheeks, "Calm down. Let's get you something to drink."
She'll pick a fight for no good reason
She knows I'll never leave
I love her half to death,
But she's killing me
All my friends, they say they like her
But I know behind my back,
they all think the same things, that I do
While Jade was picking out something to drink. Andre and Robbie walked up to Beck.
"Hey guys." Beck nodded to them as he took a sip of his mixture.
"Look's like Jade is giving Sinjin a hard time", Robbie pointed out. They boys looked at the scene Jade was making.
"That's Jade for you." Andre said, "But, I guess she's different around you Beck, right?"
Beck shook his head, "Not really. She's the same, but more intense. But then again, she's also a great girlfriend. It's hard to explain. She can be... hard to handle sometimes, but I deal with it." Beck took a sip of his drink again. As Jade approaches.
She spends her daddy's credit card,
And says that I'm the one who's lazy
"Hey can I just chill out in your bedroom for a while?" Jade asked.
"Uh, sure." Beck replied.
"Keys." She opened her hand out.
"Why? You know how to get in without breaking a finger." Beck laughed.
"Just come with me..." Jade whimpered.
Beck rolled his eyes and headed to his trailer with her.
Once they got into his trailer, Beck downed the rest of his alcoholic beverage and laid the empty cup on his counter. Jade laid down on his bed. Her hair laid perfectly on his bed spread. Beck sat next to her on his bedside and started to brush her hair with his fingertips.
"So why'd you wanna come inside my lair for?" Beck smiled.
"I just want to spend some alone time with you." Jade said.
Beck laid down next to her and kissed her a couple of times. Jade grinned and pulled him in closer for more.
Beck was starting to like where this was going. But Jade knew what Beck was thinking and pulled out quickly.
"Hey, you retreated." Beck sat up. Jade got off his bed and fixed her hair.
"Yeah, I think we should probably go back out" Jade suggested.
"How come?" Beck asked.
"I just don't want to..." Jade stopped, "whatever with you. Let's just go back." Jade walked over to the door.
"You know, I wouldn't done anything if you didn't want to." Beck said.
Jade nodded and walked out of his door.
She's like a dream and a nightmare coming true
Once they were back outside with everyone, well it was obvious a couple of their pals were wasted. Andre and Tori were caught hooking up. Robbie held back Cat's hair when she was throwing up. Beck and Jade watched everyone have a great time. Jade stared blankly at everyone and back at Beck. Beck continued to smile throughout the night.
"I'm going to get a drink." Jade said. Beck watched her walk into the crowd of their friends and disappear. He went over to speak to Robbie.
Jade didn't get another drink. She went back into Beck's trailer and went through his stuff. She found a pack of open cigarettes. A couple of old shirts underneath his bed, an old photo of Beck and her Freshman year. She went over to his bathroom and washed out the temporary dye in her hair, took off her makeup and braided her hair in a fishtail. Jade was about to leave, she grabbed a cigarette and one of Beck's button ups on the floor and left his trailer.
After a while, Beck got worried. Jade has been gone for a while. He started looking for her...
She can change her clothes
She can change her hair
But she'll always be the same
Beck found his girl on the corner of the street. He didn't recognize her for a moment. He's never seen Jade with her hair not down.
"Hey beautiful." Beck sat beside her. Jade laid her head on Beck's shoulder and handed him the cigarette she stole from his room.
"Oh, where'd you get that?" Beck said nervously.
"I don't care if you smoke, Beck." Jade said, she held on to Beck's arm. "But, I don't like secrets."
"I didn't think you'd..." Jade stopped Beck in mid-sentence.
"Don't deny it. I know you wouldn't tell me because you think I would have a problem with it." She said.
Beck didn't say anything. Jade started searching Beck's pockets.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Give me the cigarette." Beck was confused of what Jade's going to do. She took out Beck's lighter and lit the cigarette.
"Honestly, I don't see the point of these things." Jade said, playing with the lit cigarette.
"I'll take that from you..." Beck said, he slowly took the cigarette away from her.
"You probably shouldn't waste that." She told him. Beck took a drag as Jade laid on his lap. She fell asleep on his lap, he brought her to his trailer and let her sleep on his bed for the night.
So I went out and bought her roses
The next morning, Jade was still asleep. He left to go get some things at the gas station. He bought a couple of things for Jade while he was there.
By the time he got back, Jade was awake.
"Good morning beautiful." Beck smiled.
"Where were you?" Jade was delirious, "I slept here last night?"
"Yeah, I slept on the couch. I went out to buy some things." Beck said. He handed her a bouquet of flowers.
"You know I hate flowers" She said. But Jade grinned, she was happy that he was thinking of her.
She complained about the thorns
"Why didn't you cut off the thorns?" Jade said.
"Don't you like thorns? Sharp, vicious, painful things?" Beck asked.
"Well, yeah I do... Thank you." Jade gave him a hug.
I caught her smiling
And that's what I do it for.

J: Judging
Judging results in thinking, feelings, response and behavior that consciously operate in line with certain rules, principles or norms. We usually perceive the world as an ordered structure that follows a set of rules.
Careers that I would consider are a diplomat, CEO, sales representative, psychologist, and human resources.
My Strongest Skill Areas
My strongest skill areas include:
Careers that I would consider based on my skill areas include:
Office Managers, Human Resources Managers, Business Executives, Administrative Services Managers, and Financial Managers.
My Work Value Locator
My most important values include:
Recognition, Independence, Achievement, Working Conditions, and Relationships.
Careers I would consider include:
Producers and Directors, Business Executives, Ship Pilots, Allergists and Immunologists, Police and Detective Supervisors.
What I Have Learned About Myself
I have learned a lot about myself through these assessments that will help me decide what I want to do with my future, what goals I should have, and what would work well using the knowledge of what skills I attain, what have yet to be attained, and what is important to me.
I have learned that I would really love to do something that is in a manger position or leading position because that includes things that I really enjoy doing, it has a lot of my values, and I already have a lot of the skills that I would need for that job. Some of these jobs are things like Business Executives, Entrepreneur, CEO, Human Resources Manager, or Marketing Manager.
I have also learned goals for myself to accomplish hopefully in the near future. These goals I have decided with a lot of my personality traits that I need to work to improve upon. I also learned ways on how to communicate better with people of other personality types and recognize that they do not perceive things the same way that I do, and if I want to get my point across I have to explain it in a different way for them to understand.

To mark 1 June - International Children's Day - Raha Bahreini from our Iran team describes how Amnesty has managed to raise awareness about the death penalty and save juvenile offenders from the gallows in Iran.
It starts with a panicked phone call.
Our contact tells us that a juvenile offender (a person aged below 18 at the time of their crime) has just been transferred to solitary confinement - the final step before execution.
This is often our 1st glimpse of this young person and the desperate situation they are in. Why? Because the families of those on death row often fear reprisals if they publicize the plight of their loved ones. They sometimes believe that international lobbying and public campaigning will only complicate the situation and hasten the execution. At times, the authorities themselves give families false assurances, claiming that if the family does not publicize the case, their loved ones might be spared.
The moment we are prompted to intervene is often the moment when the authorities' promises are exposed as hollow and the young person is just days or hours away from execution.
A race against the clock
Once we get the call, it's a race against the clock - and winning literally becomes a matter of life and death.
We scramble to collect court documents and testimonies, verifying them through reliably informed sources. We work swiftly and under pressure alongside our media and campaigning colleagues to issue a press release and send urgent appeals to our network of activists. We co-ordinate efforts among our global offices and organize Twitter storms, letter-writing campaigns, and email actions.
Through all this, we urge our activists to generate a global outcry about this young person who, up until a few days ago, had been suffering in isolation on death row.
Once we have exhausted every avenue, there is nothing left to do but wait.
At this point, we feel helpless, imagining that young person frightened and alone in their cell. We keep in touch with our contacts, scrabbling for updates. Iran is several hours ahead of London and they execute at dawn, so we keep awake until late, checking our phones for good news - while dreading the worst.
Lives saved
Our greatest moments of relief come when we hear that we have saved a life - as we did when Alireza Tajiki was spared execution last month. He had been arrested when he was just 15 years old and sentenced to death in 2013 on the basis of torture-tainted "confessions". When we learned of his execution date, we had just 4 days to save him. But in those four days we got hundreds of people to appeal to Iran's authorities while we engaged in diplomatic interventions. And it worked. The authorities stopped his execution within 24 hours of the moment he was scheduled to be hanged. Although Alireza Tajiki is still at risk of execution, this short-term victory gives us time to build on our efforts to save him once and for all.
Alireza isn't our only success. There is Salar Shadizadi, who we saved twice from execution. Like Alireza, he was sentenced to death for a crime committed when he was 15 years old. First, we convinced the authorities to postpone his execution and move him out of solitary confinement in August 2015. When they rescheduled his execution to November, we stopped them again - despite having just a few days to do it.
There was also Saman Naseem, who had been scheduled to hang in February 2015. He was sentenced to death based on "confessions" that he said were extracted through torture. We launched a worldwide campaign to stop his execution. Then, the day before the execution, Saman was transferred to an undisclosed location where he remained for the next 5 months. In that time, we mobilized our activists to demand that the authorities reveal his fate and whereabouts. In July 2015, his family was finally informed that he was alive and was allowed to visit him. The authorities quashed his death sentence and granted him a retrial - 2 positive steps that we had campaigned for.
The power of a movement
Over the past 18 months, thousands of people worldwide have spoken out against Iran's use of the death penalty on juvenile offenders, which is illegal under international law.
These efforts have shed light on the plight of more than 160 juvenile offenders languishing on Iran's death row. They have also hugely increased the reputational cost of executing juvenile offenders for the Iranian authorities.
With help from Amnesty's supporters, we have achieved a fantastic outcome for Alireza, Salar and Saman.
But our work is far from finished. The immediate threat of execution may be over, but the tortuous waiting game continues for these and other young people growing up on Iran's death row. Only yesterday, Mohammad Reza Haddadi - who has spent the last 12 years on death row for a crime committed when he was 15 - was spared execution a 6th time, thanks to yet another public campaign on his behalf.
And so our struggle continues, until the authorities stop giving juvenile offenders the death penalty - so that no child faces the gallows in Iran again.

- Waiting to die: the Iranian child inmates facing execution – in pictures, The Guardian, January 13, 2016
Call to revoke young man's death sentence
The Iranian Resistance is calling for the cancellation of a death sentence issued for Mohammad Reza Haddadi, aged 15 at the time of his alleged crime, and requests from all human rights organizations, especially the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Human Rights Council, UN Special Rapporteur on Arbitrary Executions and UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran to take urgent action aimed at forcing the cancellation of this criminal execution. Haddadi has been held in Adel Abad Prison of Shiraz, central Iran, for the past 13 years.
Moreover, three prisoners in the cities of Shiraz, Kavar (located 51 kilometers south of Shiraz) and Nour (in Mazandaran Province, northern Iran) were hanged through the span of May 28th to the 30th.
2 inmates were also hanged on May 31st in Noshahr Prison (northern Iran). Therefore, the number of executions in Iran reached 73 in the month of May.
Executions, lashing and torture, especially against the youth, reflect the increasing fear sensed by the fascist regime ruling Iran regarding an imminent eruption of anger and social protests. These developments reveal that the mask of moderation used by the criminals ruling Iran is nothing but a deceptive plot.

Oxon Hill Manor is a neo-Georgian house of 49 rooms, located at Oxon Hill, Prince George's County, Maryland. It was designed in 1928 for Sumner Welles (1892-1961) by the Washington architect, Jules Henri de Sibour (1872-1938). It was built in 1929, and consists of a two-story main block of Flemish bond brick and a northern wing. Also on the property are two outbuildings contemporary with the house; a five-car garage and attached manager's quarters and greenhouse, and a stable. There are also formal gardens on the grounds.[2]
The Oxon Hill Manor property has a strong historical association. The colonial-era Addison family, active in the development of Prince George's county and in colonial government, built a mansion on the property in 1711. In 1778, Thomas Hawkins Hanson, nephew of John Hanson, acquired the property. John Hanson died at Oxon Hill Manor on November 22, 1783, and was buried on the property.[discuss] Walter Dulaney Addison who was for a time Chaplain of the Senate lived here and conducted a school here.[2]
After a period of ownership by the Berry family, in 1895, the original Oxon Hill Manor burned. In 1927, the property was bought by Sumner Welles, U.S. Undersecretary of State, who built the present manor house. Franklin D. Roosevelt and possibly Sir Winston Churchill were guests there.[2] It was later the home of Fred Maloof, a wealthy oilman, timberland owner, and art collector who established a museum for fine art and John Hanson memorabilia, before the property came under the control of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]

Pawar, the president of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), was refering to media reports that Australian all rounder Andrew Symonds had been subjected to monkey chants in Vadodara, Nagpur and in Mumbai last night. He insisted that International Cricket Council's Anti-Racism Code would be strictly adhered to but added that ''it was not a case of racism.''
''I believe this is a misunderstanding; a language issue. There are many languages spoken in India, and I don't understand many of them myself,'' he said adding, ''We respect that we have to protect the individual player. There is a complaint and we will take the appropriate action.''
''Still, it is the responsibility of the Indian board to execute that (the ICC's anti-racism code). There have already been steps taken,'' he was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.
Pawar rubbished the idea that the incidents would have any adverse effect on the relationship between the two cricket boards.
''This will not at all affect our relationship with Cricket Australia. We have a very strong relationship and we are hoping that will continue,'' he asserted.

On Friday, we discussed Clean Code for developers' book club at the office.
Here are my thoughts on chapters 4, 5, 6:
Chapter 4: Comments
The best comment is one that is not written. With scripting languages like Ruby and Python, writing readable code is easy. People often say that they like writing Ruby code because it is so readable.
However, just as there are good writers and writers who need improvement, there are clean coders (like the book is trying to promote) and coders who need improvement. I am realizing that there is a difference between knowing a lot about computers/technology and actually organizing code for your fellow human colleagues to reuse/understand.
Chapter 5: Formatting
This chapter discusses another technique for code organization, via formatting. There is mention about horizontal space (< 120 characters across) and vertical space (file length in lines). And most importantly, agreeing on a formatting style within the workplace.
At this point, I asked about editing the code style to match in a file. We do not have a company-wide agreement on code style, and file by file we may have single quotes, double quotes, no space after a brace {, 1 space after a brace, etc. The conclusion was that we should have a meeting at a later date to determine.
Chapter 6: Objects and Data Structure
This was a higher-level chapter. It discusses the Law of Demeter, which can be summarized: a method should touch friends' variables, not strangers'.
I will also quote an interesting observation from this chapter:
[T]he fundamental dichotomy between objects and data structures:
Procedural code (code using data structures) makes it easy to add new functions without changing the existing data structures. OO code, on the other hand, makes it easy to add new classes without changing existing functions.
The complement is also true:
Procedural code makes it hard to add new data structures because all the functions must change. OO code makes it hard to add new functions because all the classes must change.
What a lot to think about! I think that if you are working in an existing codebase (with all its strengths and faults/needs-improvements), implementing these newly-learned processes one-by-one -- even as new code is written -- should improve both your codebase and your coding style. A codebase is a living thing, so it's never too late to make the code cleaner!

Cumberland Farms Provides College Scholarships
Third annual program provides 80 high school students with $1,000 scholarships.
By W.B. King
RUTLAND, Vt. -- Approximately 80 students living in the Northeast and Florida will receive $1,000 scholarships from Cumberland Farms through its third annual Believe and Achieve Scholarship for college-bound seniors.
"The Believe and Achieve Scholarship program was one of the founding programs Cumberland Farms initiated when it started its corporate giving program three years ago," Cumberland Farm spokesperson, Christen Graham, told CSNews Online. "This scholarship program has been an instrumental piece from the inception of the corporate giving program. Through its Corporate Giving Program for Youth, Cumberland Farms is working to improve the prospects for young people, encourage and support their achievements in business and leadership, and provide educational opportunities."
Students living within 30 miles of any Cumberland Farms location are eligible. The program, Graham noted, is also open to children of Cumberland Farms' employees.
Students are judged on academic performance, and students with financial needs receive special consideration. "The families and promising young people in the communities where we operate have had an overwhelming positive response," Graham told CSNews Online. "We are hoping to include even more applicants as we enter the third year of the program."
Applications can be submitted online through www.cumberlandfarms.com from Oct. 15 through Dec. 15. Information about the Believe and Achieve Scholarship, including entry criteria and deadlines, is available online and at Cumberland Farms locations.

Video: Watch Emma Murphy's powerful TV3 interview
Emma Murphy, whose Facebook video about domestic abuse went viral this week, spoke to TV3 today about her decision to go public, the support she has received and her advice for people affected by the video.
In her first television interview, Emma tells Midday's Elaine Crowley of her ordeal and why she decided to go public with the video: "It's so hard because every woman wants the perfect family. No family's perfect but looking at my little boy, it kills me. I'm so saddened because they're not going to have their mammy and daddy anymore together."
"In my head I knew I needed to get away from this. It was very unhealthy. I knew I needed to break away. I needed to be a good role model for my kids and I needed the strength from somewhere and by posting the video that I did I've reached so many people. People all around the world are contacting me saying 'thank you', 'thank you'".
Emma's video, posted on Monday evening, has now been seen by over seven million people and her story has been picked up all over the globe.
You can watch the full interview with TV3's Midday below.

I posted this about it on FB:
Apparently, E has finally been assigned a new case worker. I got a panicked call from him today, since he's running out of time to do June's home visit. So, he'll be here at 9 o'clock in the morning.
Y'all know how I feel about strangers in my house...and that I don't trust men (sorry, guys, but it is what it is)...this child better be glad I love her because, tomorrow, I will tolerate a strange man casing the joint at an obscene time of the morning. No man should be in my house at that time of morning, unless he's cooking me breakfast...lol
It was a rather uneventful, 10 minute home visit. Like the last CW, he knew nothing about the case other than her name and age. He assumed that she was a pre-adoptive placement, so I had to explain that termination of her mother's parental rights was not even on the table at this point. I also informed him of her upcoming parole hearing. He had no idea how her release would effect their offering of services to her. He wasn't aware that she was the "non-offending" parent in this case (because the child was not removed from her care & she was not responsible for any the circumstances that led to the removal), which does make a difference. He's never handled an ICWA case. He also didn't know when the next court hearing is, though he did assure me that he "will let me know what happens". I assured him that I have every intention of being there "because I never get straight answers about what happens when I don't make it & I wasn't even informed about the last one until over a week after it happened." He was clearly surprised, but I think that he got my point.
Lil Sis had been in care for 10 months now. I still don't have her medical card. It has been sitting in her DHS file since I ordered it, after she moved in. They also still haven't sent in her tribal membership application. Though I know they are supposed to handle that, I'm considering sending it myself & seeing if I can convince membership services to accept the application.
In the end, the visit was unproductive for much, other than checking the box on their little form. But, I did get to meet the new CW. He's a nice man, but he doesn't seem to really know how to really handle these cases, by which I mean ensuring the child is cared for & advocating for them. Also, he's never had an ICWA case, which means he probably hasn't been on this job long. After all, the majority of cases in my state are ICWA cases. My overall first impression is that he means well but he tend to just go down the little checklist & covers the formalities, like most CWs.
On the up side, a new worker means no triggering or meltdowns for Lil Sis. So, our lives continue on as normal. Her behavior has been staying pretty stable & she's been making some progress, which is always wonderful.

I actually started doing more test preparation earlier in the year after watching a video on Standardized Testing at Whole Brain Teaching.
The video talks about having visible strategies for teaching students to answer both math questions and reading questions. Additionally, it shared that we should start doing 10 minutes of teaching strategies for reading and math questions starting at the beginning of the school year.
Here are some of the lesson plans I use in the beginning of the year that were collaboratively created at my school. Thanks again for everyone who helped in creating this document!
Lesson plans and rationale for teaching reading comprehension strategies
PS: All of the teachers who used these lessons at our school and the Teaching Comprehension Lessons had 1.5 years to 2 years gain in reading this last year!
PPS: Feel free to share the lessons with anyone who might find them helpful. In return, please let 4 other teachers know about this website if you choose to use these lessons in your classroom.

Chat with John Oreovicz
Welcome to SportsNation! On Friday, ESPN.com IndyCar reporter John Oreovicz stops by to talk about the season, as the league hits the streets of Toronto for Sunday's race (12:30 p.m. ET, ABC).
Oreovicz attended his first Indianapolis 500 as a teenager in 1978 and still hasn't broken the open-wheel racing habit. He has covered nearly 400 Indy-style races for National Speed Sport News and other racing publications around the world, and he co-authored A Winning Adventure, a history of Honda's successful Champ Car engine program. Known as "Oreo" within the IndyCar paddock, John resides within walking distance of his home track, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Send your questions now and join Oreovicz Friday at 2 p.m. ET!
More John Oreovicz: Search | Chats | Racing Index
Oreo (2:00 PM)
Good afternoon IndyCar fans, and thanks for joining our live chat session on ESPN.com!
Oreo (2:01 PM)
The action is underway in Toronto, and it was a bizarre session that featured Justin Wilson crashing in the pits when his DW12 refused to select neutral after an installation lap. With cold carbon brakes, JW was unable to stop the car, which struck four crewmen, two of whom have been hospitalized.
Oreo (2:02 PM)
Wilson later ran into trouble on the track when Alex Tagliani spun and blocked the track, leaving Justin no choice but to steer the Sonny's BBQ Special into the wall.
Oreo (2:03 PM)
Dario Franchitti led a Target Ganassi Racing 1-2 in the session with a best lap timed at 60.879 seconds. INDYCAR's revamped website does not having historical statistics available, so I'll try to figure out how that time compares to those from the past as we chat.
Oreo (2:03 PM)
In the meantime, let's take some questions!
Chris (Westfield, IN)
With Lotus finally making some changes, do you think they will add some teams next season?
Oreo (2:06 PM)
Unless the uprated Lotus engine suddenly shows a bunch of power that translates into speed, I cannot see any teams switching to Lotus unless Lotus pays them to. And with Lotus' future very uncertain under its Malaysian owners, I can't imagine that happening. I think it is far more likely that Lotus will disappear from the IndyCar grid in 2013 than actually increase its presence.
Oreo (2:08 PM)
BTW Simona De Silvestro in the lone Lotus car was 21st out of 24 in the first practice session at Toronto, besting Ed Carpenter, Rubens Barrichello and Wilson. We expect to see EC down there on a street course, but I have not determined why Barrichello was so far off the pace. He ran the most laps in the session (26) and I'm sure the bumpy street course is a bit of a culture shock to him after being used to glass-smooth F1 tracks for the last 20 years.
Joel (Kentucky)
Bernard says he want 19 races for next year, we already know about Houston, what are the other 3 venues he is looking to add?
Oreo (2:11 PM)
Surely after the last few weeks, Randy is smart enough to realize just how badly almost everyone involved in the IndyCar Series wants to race at Road America, so hopefully that is a given. Michigan Int'l Speedway claimed to show interest but track boss Roger Curtis wasn't very complimentary about how he was treated by INDYCAR, so that's obviously still a shaky relationship. Another favorite within the IndyCar community is Phoenix Int'l Raceway, but again, the strained relationship between International Speedway Corp. and INDYCAR could be a factor that prevents that from happening. Pocono Raceway has also shown interest and that's one I'd like to see happen. The bottom line is that INDYCAR is going to have to be realistic about the sanctioning fee it seeks from whatever new tracks it approaches.
Mitch (Chicago)
Rumors of Andretti getting a team in Nascar seem to be surfacing.. do you think we could see Marco make the switch to Nascar.. he has under achieved his entire career, i think MA's patience is running thin..
Oreo (2:15 PM)
I think Marco is an Andretti Autosport driver for life as long as he doesn't do anything stupid. Which is kind of sad, because as you correctly point out, Mitch, he has never come close to achieving his potential over the last 6+ years in Indy cars and I don't think he really will until he branches out from daddy's team. I'm shocked that Michael's name has come up in the Dodge/NASCAR conversation, but he has shown that he's not afraid to diversify. But given the amount of effort and attention that all aspects of the IndyCar Series require and his stated desire to help rebuild the sport, moving into NASCAR sounds counterproductive to me. Marco in NASCAR? Sounds unlikely to me.
Chris Fiegler (Latham,NY)
Who do you think will be the Next Driver to Leave the IZOD IndyCar Series for Another Auto Racing Series?
Oreo (2:18 PM)
A frontrunner who gets a reall opportunity elsewhere, or a backmarker who just fades away? I'll take a flyer on Tony Kanaan, whose late 30s skill set may be more suited to stock cars. As for backmarkers dropping out, Katherine Legge has not impressed at all in her return to Indy cars and may have blown her last shot at open-wheelers. I'd guess that Mike Conway is another on shaky ground, but please note that all of these examples are pure speculation on my part.
will (west palm beach, fl)
if you could bring one driver ...dead or alive from any discipline or any period in time to the current indycar series who would it be and why?
Oreo (2:24 PM)
Having some technical trouble with the chat...
Oreo (2:24 PM)
Greg Moore is my number one answer. Talk about a guy who was taken too soon...imagine what he would have achieved in that #3 Penske car over the last 12 years. I'd venture to guess that he would already be a four-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, for starters. Here's what Dario Franchitti told me in 2009 when I was writing a story about the 10 year anniversary of Greg's death:
Oreo (2:26 PM)
Apparently it's not going to let me cut and paste the quote, but the jist of Dario's quote is "He would have mopped the floor with us in Penske's cars and re-written the record book."
Joel (Kentucky)
Given the price of replacement parts, how much more are teams spending than they planned on? Any chance they just open up the rule book to let these guys buy whatever they want?
Oreo (2:32 PM)
They need to open up the rule book for sure. I think that under Brian Barnhart, INDYCAR built a "special" relationship with Dallara. That resulted in Dallara being really the only company considered for the single make chassis formula introduced this year. And it seems the team owners were sold a bill of goods, by Dallara and/or INDYCAR. The base price of the car came close to what was promised, but it was not a turn-key machine (just add engine, wheels and steering wheel) as promised. The big issue is the cost of spare psrts. Dallara is charging 40-50 percent more than what teams would pay if they could produce them themselves or source them from other specialty manufacturers in and around Indianapolis. The higher-than-anticipated cost issue is a serious one for INDYCAR and Dallara needs to be cut out of the spare parts business, in my opinion. On an unrelated note, Dallara promised the State of Indiana that 80 jobs would be created at its US facility, and the total to date is 15 - and that includes the staff at the Italian cafe in the assembly facility (don't call it a factory). One team uses the slogan "American Made, American Driven," and if the 'made' part is meant to talk about the car instead of the sponsor's product, they are not telling the truth. The DW12 is approximately 10 percent American, by my calculation.
Tony D. (Indy)
Will we see any Indy Car drivers outside of Paul Tracy and Ana Beatriz run the Rolex race at the Brickyard at the end of July?
Oreo (2:34 PM)
I don't think so. Chip Ganassi is running his NASCAR drivers in a second car for the Rolex at the Brickyard, but I don't anticipate any current Indy car drivers joining the field. A question for all of you: Do you think running a Grand-Am race at Indianapolis devalues the history of the Speedway? My own opinion is that ALMS sports cars are much more in keeping with the tradition of technical innovation and excellence that the Speedway has fostered over the last century.
Paul Pfanner (Irvine, CA)
Do you think IndyCar Aero kits announced for 2103 will create fan interest and restore some to the luster lost in the de-contented Spec Car era of IndyCar racing? Or, do you think it is an un-desireable expense on top of the unanticipated running cost increases for the Dallara DW12?
Oreo (2:39 PM)
Aero kits for 2013, or 2017? As a purist, I firmly believe that teams and/or manufacturers should have freedom to develop their cars, both aerodynamically and mechanically. I don't really know if the average fan cares about that as much as I do. I think opening up the rulebook would help bring back the diehard fans who enjoy technology and real competition. There's a lot of talk about how we need to create new fans, but as far as I'm concerned, bringing back the fans lost to the CART/IRL split is actually more important. They already have a working knowledge of the history Indy car racing and don't need to be spoon fed the basics. Now that the Delta Wing proved itself at the 24 Hour of Le Mans and created a lot of interest, I hope INDYCAR management realizes that there is a significant fan base out there that enjoys and appreciates racing for technical excellence and innovation. Spec racing is not at all popular with the sport's real fans, and those are the fans that Indy car racing has lost over the last 10-12 years.
Ryan (Indiana)
Will IndyCar go back to Kentucky anytime soon? Its always a great race, but moving dates around sort of killed the attendance.
Oreo (2:46 PM)
Was moving the dates really the problem, or was it the fact that the spectator audience for oval racing in general (even in NASCAR) has been shrinking for at least the last five years. It has been demonstrated through demographics that the typical oval fan is not as wealthy or educated as the typical oval racing fan, and in terms of at-track attendance, road racing events in IndyCar or ALMS have not suffered as badly as oval events in IndyCar or NASCAR. (The Grand-Am's fan base is so small it's not worth mentioning). Looking beyond Kentucky specifically, I think the real concern is INDYCAR's relationship with the track owner, Speedway Motorsports Inc. In the wake of the Las Vegas tragedy and some crackpot comments from the likes of Eddie Gossage and SMI chairman Bruton Smith, it's easy to see that their relationship is under considerable strain. Texas, for example, still draws a decent crowd of about 50,000 for IndyCar, but that's about half of what Texas races drew as recently as 5-6 years ago. Kentucky's attendance followed a similar trend, dropping from about 60,000 at its peak to maybe half that. Can you blame date changes? Maybe. But I doubt that's the root cause.
Andrew H. (New York)
Do you think that IndyCar will get to race at the Circuit of the Americas next year?
Oreo (2:48 PM)
Not next year, but it's on Randy's radar. That's a better question for Eddie Gossage. He hasn't hidden his displeasure about IndyCar adding Houston next year, and a third race in Texas would really set him off. With INDYCAR needing oval venues, and the all of the drivers except Ed Carpenter (George) much happier with the style of racing this year, does the series really want to further upset a track that has been a key part of IRL/INDYCAR era racing? Austin has a lot going for it, but is it worth losing TMS for?
Andrew H. (New York)
Do you think that Ryan Briscoe might get replaced by Penske at the end of the year, and would Penske be interested in Newgarden?
Oreo (2:51 PM)
I figure Will Power is the only one of the three Penske drivers who is safe for 2013, and you are correct in presuming that RP would probably keep Helio over Briscoe. There are a lot of quality drivers who would be a good fit for Penske. Tim Cindric told me that Sebastien Bourdais was high on their list when they hired Power part-time three years ago, for example. Penske has demonstrated that nationality is not a factor when he hires drivers, though it would certainly be nice if Indy car racing's highest profile team would consider running an American. Then again, I always preach that performance should be the number one reason to hire a driver, and in that regard, would you hire someone like Wilson or Bourdais, or a less successful (to date) American like Graham Rahal or Newgarden?
JCT (Chicago)
Do you think Sonoma will be replaced with Laguna Seca in 2013, especially if IndyCar does not go back to Texas (Sonoma and Texas are SMI tracks, ofcourse)?
Oreo (2:53 PM)
Sonoma is a SMI track, so that could be a factor. As long as Sonoma is on the schedule, Laguna Seca will not be added because of a non-compete clause in the contract. I love Laguna Seca, but clearly, we've seen that modern Indy cars do not put on an exciting race there. It's a great place for a demonstration of precision driving, but the circuit layout simply doesn't offer anyplace for Indy cars to pass.
Andrew H. (New York)
Do you think they will up the boost next year? These cars need another 150 hp.
Oreo (2:54 PM)
Short answer: Yes, they'll have more power, but not as much as the drivers and fans would like to see. They definitely need to revisit the engine change penalty rule, because I think that's been confusing to the fans and unfair to the drivers and teams this year.
Andrew H. (New York)
How do you think Will Power would fare in F1 in a McLaren?
Oreo (2:56 PM)
I think Will Power is as good of a road racer as any driver in the world. Thing is, any Indy car driver who ever gets a chance in F1 needs to perform there IMMEDIATELY, and without the unlimited testing of the past, that's unrealistic. F1 teams don't have the patience to bring a driver up to speed, which is why elevating a driver who has GP2 experience on F1 tracks is a much safer bet for them. Indy car drivers have an incredibly poor record in F1 over the last 20 years and that will adversely affect any F1 aspirant who races over here for a long time.
Andrew H. (New York)
15 races in the top American Open Wheel series is a joke. Randy went on the record again saying he is targeting 19 next year and 22 in a few years. Is this another pipe dream?
Oreo (2:58 PM)
I reckon they will; have 18 races next year. More is better, but again, with sponsorship hard to come by and expenses higher than projected, the series can't afford to grow too fast or the teams won't be able to keep up.
greg (pittsburgh)
Any chance cleveland grand prix ever returns?
Oreo (2:59 PM)
Doesn't look good. Mike Lanigan owns the rights, and he chose to bring back Houston instead because Shell/Pennzoil jumped on board as the sponsor. Much as I love Mid-Ohio, I'd rather see Honda spend its sponsorship on a Honda Grand Prix of Cleveland and make its Ohio associates drive an extra 100 miles to see a better race.
Ryan (Indiana)
Any chance that IndyCar returns to Vegas in any way in the future (LVMS or a street course)?
Oreo (3:00 PM)
I reckon LVMS is going to have a stigma for a little while, because even nine months later, the Wheldon death is still fresh in memories. The 2007 LV street course that Champ Car used was fantastic, but attendance was pitiful.
Hope (Toronto)
No Hinchtown in this practice :( Hope they get things fixed!
Oreo (3:01 PM)
Ain't that the truth! A Hinch victory in TO would be the shot in the arm that Indy car racing in Canada needs to put it back where it was in the days of PT, Greg Moore and Scott Goodyear. A better Canadian TV package would be a help as well.
Oreo (3:02 PM)
Lots of good questions today - thanks to everyone who participated! Keep it off the walls and have a good weekend, everybody...

This is a guest post by Rev. James Rattue
'Two potty little provinces of no importance' was how Father Alfred Hope Patten, modern re-founder of the Anglican shrine at Walsingham, described the Church to which he had the honour to belong. He was never faced with the conflict of loyalties that might have been provoked by a Papal visit to Britain, but held no high opinion of his own denomination. Like many Anglo-Catholic clergy of yesteryear, Fr Patten solved 'the problem of authority' by doggedly ignoring anything that happened outside his own parish. The irony was, as for many others in his position, that his ecclesiastical eccentricities would never have been tolerated by the Roman observance in which, in theory, he would have felt more at home.
The Bishop of Rome may be having to trek to Edinburgh to meet the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, but despite this rather delicious near-snub there's little for either denomination to envy in the other at the moment. The calamitous collapse in vocations to the Roman Catholic priesthood is matched by a slump in the proportion of the population which identifies itself as Anglican. Both Churches have experienced the same, slow, steady decline in observance over the same period.
In any case, I imagine weighing up the relative state and relations of Christian denominations is of very limited interest to the readers of Heresy Corner, and I admit it's of decreasing interest to me, except when my sense of amour propre is wounded by Popish triumphalism (and I suspect the cause for the canonisation of Cardinal Newman, that most famous if troubled traverser of the Tiber, whose beatification forms the centrepiece of Papa Josef's visit to Britain, is at least partly about wounding Anglican amour propre – the saints you favour say a lot about you, like my somewhat ultramontane colleague at theological college who was enamoured of Blessed Archduke Karl of Austria, I think because of the uniform and moustache).
I can no longer see a 'true Church' located anywhere, or at any time; if anything the Christian faith has been growing towards unity and truth, with numberless eddies and cross-currents, not fracturing from an original, and every modern ecclesial body is characterised by mess and ambiguity. Any idea that the Holy Spirit operates only within the boundaries of one denomination is something none of us believes any more (at least in theory). I rather envy the universality of the Roman Church, the fact that Catholic congregations are so eclectic and multiethnic, but that's about it. Real spiritual depth and energy I find in diverse places: the writings of Reginald Somerset Ward, the journals of Pope John XXIII, or the epigrammatic utterances of the Desert Fathers. Authority and dogma are trumped by authenticity and relationship; I see the point of the first half of that equation being to foster the second half, not the other way around.
Which brings us to Il Papa himself. More than once people have asked me what Roman Catholics see in the Pope. I suppose I ought to ask some, but I imagine it has less to do with the man's personal qualities, which after all differ wildly from pontiff to pontiff, than with his representative function, the charism of his office. He represents identity and continuity. In his person are united all the world's Catholics, both now and across time; because they all have a relationship with him, they all have a relationship with one another. It's that that they're cheering. Of course this is relatively modern. In the Middle Ages believers throughout most of Europe didn't love the Pope; he was a distant juridical authority. A medieval English Christian might love St Gregory, perhaps, Apostle of the English, who appeared in pictures of the Four Latin Doctors on the rood screen of the parish church, but she would know next to nothing about whichever Innocent or Boniface actually occupied the throne of St Peter at the time. Catholics first loved the Pope when they first had Protestants to hate, and that was when Protestants first hated him too. Even then they wouldn't know what he looked like until the age of cheap printing, or sounded like until the 1900s.
This means that Catholic Christianity's relationship with the Bishop of Rome is actually in flux, not because of who he happens to be at the moment, nor because of a 'crisis in faith' or the paedophile issue. Of course that doesn't help; Damian Thompson recently posted a delightful article which virtually repeated in all seriousness Fr Ted Crilly's great statement, 'Say there's two hundred million priests in the world, and five per cent of them are paedophiles, that's still only ten million', and everything that comes out of the Vatican leads one to conclude that, yes, that is the way they think, and it's not the way most of the world thinks. But no, the relationship is changing because that old kind of unquestioning devotion is made impossible by the sheer levels of what we know about the famous.
Nobody can be a flawless icon of anything, and it's unreasonable to expect them to be. A Presidential candidate captures the adulation of a nation, or a large part of it, for the course of an election campaign, and then reality bites; a gentle and retiring academic becomes Archbishop of Canterbury, and can't please any of the parties who rejoiced at his elevation because their desires are incommensurable. Universal acclamation is only possible if you remain a silent figurehead, presiding impassively over the institution you represent. It helps if you have no past to be examined, too, but you simply must say nothing and do nothing if you're going to avoid obloquy. Which is nonsense, because the hyperactive modern world rules out the option of silence and inactivity.
If relationship of that kind is increasingly impossible for religious leaders, this collapse might be the prelude to relationship of a more real and realistic kind. Modern communication technology facilitates this very thing. The next Pope should be a blogger and a Tweeter (or whatever form of interaction has taken over at that stage), not to impart nuggets of dogma from on high but to muse, relate, tell stories about himself and his interactions with real people. He should spend the rest of the time visiting the great diocese of which he has the charge of being supreme pastor, its churches, its prisons and hospitals, its institutions, listening to its people and clergy and their real lives and struggles.
I mentioned John XXIII earlier on. Many Catholic homes still have pictures of Pope John on their wall even though he died over fifty years ago, not because he called the Second Vatican Council, but because of his clear, obvious love for people which emerged through what he did and said. I think Pope Benedict is probably a good and pleasant man. If only he talked more about the things that he really likes – music, art, the delights of intellectual interaction – or dressing up – and people, one hopes – he might genuinely usher in something new. And given Jesus's distinct reluctance to lecture or issue grand encyclicals, something very old as well.

I enjoyed the emo, lol. ]
A follow up would be awesome? *hint hint*
Perhaps a sequel one-shot where Dean was shown that moment over and over in hell as torture. But he never saw the ending where Sam puts the gun down. He returns from hell after Sam defeats the Trickster, and is relieved that Sam is still alive and angry because he tried to kill himself?
Lol plot bunnies strike at the most random of times. Just a suggestion, though. Couldn't help myself. ]
I loved the story.
