Jan 13, 2016 - BigScreen Reader The new lounger seats are OK but NOT good for people with back problems who need to sit up straight. Even when the seat is fully up, it's still leaning back. Why do we need to lay down to watch a movie now? I just fall asleep. Jul 2, 2015 - BigScreen Reader We have gone to the theater for 13 years just about every Friday night for our "date night" We loved it. We were excited about the new comfort loungers until we had bad experiences week after week. We would go to our pre purchased seats only to find someone sitting in them already who pretended to not know they were in your seats.. Each week we had to argue with some young group of thugs to claim our own pre purchased seats. I complained to the staff a few times,and by the time they would get to our seats, the thugs would have disappeared. Most likely to their last minute purchased front row seats. We also found that by pre purchasing your seats, there were times that we ended up sitting next to someone we would not have chosen to sit by -like a group of teens who kept texting and talking throughout the movie. The seats are comfortable, and the staff is always excellent. But the pre purchase of the seats ruins the experience for us. Would you recommend this theater to others? No Jun 12, 2015 - Friday Viewer Absolutely one of the best theaters around. The greatest seats available and reserve seating make for a most enjoyable experience. And the staff is very courteous and friendly. Would you recommend this theater to others? Yes Mar 30, 2015 - BigScreen Reader We went last Friday with our Granddaughter to see Home. Since we were there last a few things have changed. Love, Love ,Love the new seats. Being able to pick our seat were nice to. Then at least we could get our food and not worry whether or not we could sit in lower seats. Grandpa, who is not a big movie goer also enjoyed the new seats. Thumbs up on the changes. Would you recommend this theater to others? Yes Jan 12, 2015 (> 1 year ago) - BigScreen Reader The theater was very clean. Would you recommend this theater to others? Yes Jun 20, 2013 (> 1 year ago) - BigScreen Reader Man of steel. At 11:30AM on June 14th 2013. Would you recommend this theater to others? Yes Jun 8, 2012 (> 1 year ago) - BigScreen Reader The theater is ALWAYS cold, in the winter and TOO cold in the summer, even when fiull. Would you recommend this theater to others? Yes Apr 13, 2012 (> 1 year ago) - rick4kraft And they have the best popcorn in all Marcus Theaters Would you recommend this theater to others? Yes Jan 14, 2012 (> 1 year ago) - BigScreen Reader Ok theater. Lots of screens. Would you recommend this theater to others? Yes Aug 3, 2011 (> 1 year ago) - MovieManiaGurl I saw "Prom" with a group of friends on opening night here and it was so great! I also took my little brother to see Cars 2 here on his birthday. Staff is so nice and helpful, and it's very clean. Would you recommend this theater to others? Yes great place to see a show Would you recommend this theater to others? Yes Sep 6, 2010 (> 1 year ago) - green eyes We saw "The American" on Saturday 9/4/10 (Matinee) in Menomonee Falls. We then went to see "Machete" on 9/6/10, at the Marcus Theater in Brookfield (Majestic). We paid $22.25 for 1 large popcorn, 1 large drink and 1 medium drink, at the Majestic and only $15.50 at the Marcus Theater in Menomonee Falls (for the same stuff). I guess us seniors better stay in our home neighborhood in order to afford going to the movies as often as we do (almost every week-end). When I questioned the difference at the food counter, and told the woman about the difference, I just got a snotty look, like "do you want it or not?" Aug 13, 2010 (> 1 year ago) - BigScreen Reader this is an AWESOME theater!!!!!! Would you recommend this theater to others? Yes Add Your Comments

Finally Torchwood gives us "Adult Doctor Who Spinoff" and not "mindless sexual drivel for metrosexual teenagers".
Sure, Sleeper featured the trademark wobbly camerawork and those awful "realistic" zooms zooms (cause we can all zoom with our eyes, eh…?) and these were low points.
But this was a script that was actually sci fi, featuring existential angst from the main supporting actor, an actual alien invasion and while it wasn't executed that much better than Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, at least it was watchable thanks to the performances and a half intelligent script.
However the question of the butler and his bizarrely macabre – and gay – personality change seems to be gathering momentum. I'm not sure whether I enjoyed Blanco Jones' occasional contributions or not; they made my better half laugh, but that's not always a good sign. She doesn't usually get jokes.
So while Sleeper danced on the graves of Terminator and the remade BattleStar Galactica, it at least stole from some very well-respected sources. And it was firmly rooted in the Doctor Who universe too – how often to bullets fail against alien organisms for UNIT? Enough times to not use them, I would have thought.
But no, the soldiers here are flicking peas at the supermarket manager cyborg as he descends upon an unlikely stash of nukes in the Welsh valleys… and yet getting to this stage made perfect sense.
Poor Beth defended herself and her partner by slaughtering a couple of burglars – yet she had no idea that she had committed such carnage. In a way, she hadn't.
Providing Torchwood with a bit of a mystery gives Ianto – possibly the dullest Welshman in the world, and certainly in Torchwood (and he has good competition from Gwen's fiancé – yes they're getting wedded, boyo) – the chance to make some very poor jokes. Of course, these are courtesy of James Moran, a man for whom life must go by daily without looking in a mirror. He must have a huge insurance policy against breakages. And no, I'm no oil painting either, but come on! Smarten yourself up man!
I'd love to see the notes from Chibbers on the original script of Sleeper; for I believe that at one point this was half decent. Somehow though, a very good idea got mired in some awful direction and dodgy dialogue, and you know as this season goes on Ianto just seems to be completely and utterly superfluous.
There's loads to say about Sleeper that is positive, and if you're popping in for some light relief then its good entertainment and a damned site better than anything else on a weeknight on terrestrial television. Except that Gene Hunt is back soon, and Torchwood is going to be running the night before Life on Mars' sequel Ashes to Ashes.
And I feel that this is the real threat faced by Torchwood. Not aliens, not "this is when it all changes", but really good television of the kind that Davies' baby with Chibnall really wants to be, but just isn't. There's more than a hint of deadwood to Torchwood, and if it's going to last the 5-odd years that Barrowman is praying for then we need to see the team seriously stripped down.
And that "every episode I get snogged" clause removed from John Barrowman's contract.


text: The Science Fiction And Fantasy Scenes We Can't Get Out Of Our HeadsRia Misra6/26/14 7:37pmFiled to: Comment of the dayMoviesScience FictionFantasyRanking804EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink In response to a call for you to submit (and rank!) the best moments from science fiction and fantasy, you pulled moments that ranged from chest-bursting aliens to tube-grown dinosaurs to the Starship Enterprise. Advertisement Here are just some of our favorite highlights from the tour you took us on of great science fiction and fantasy moments:Sean KelleyThe Moment: "Five card stud, nothing wild, and the sky's the limit."Where It Comes From: The final scene of "All Good Things pt. 2," the series finale of "Star Trek the Next Generation."Why It's The Greatest: So many reasons. Picard finally joins the other members of the crew in their regular card game which shows how far he's come along on his personal journey. The line itself evokes the spirit of Star Trek "the sky's the limit." The voyages of THIS Enterprise WILL continue. In addition, Picard's growth mirrors that of humanity which Q had put on trial in this episode. We will continue to grow, explore, and improve as we journey through the cosmos.Mortal DictataThe Moment: Alien Chestburster SceneWhere it comes from: AlienWhy it's the greatest: At this point you think the threat has passed but it happens so suddenly. Also the little looks at Ash's passive face brilliantly hint at his soon to be revealed psychotic personality.Captain Max and JINXThe Moment: The Star Destroyer chasing the Tantive IVWhere It Comes From: Star Wars Episode IV: A New HopeWhy It's The Greatest: This scene shows you right up front the scale and ambition of the movie that you are about to watch. The audience realizes that there aren't going to be any cheesy ships floating by on strings in this movie. It raises the bar for every science fiction movie to come.That Small Dark VoiceThe Moment: "All those... moments... will be lost in time, like... tears... in... rain. Time... to die..."Where It Comes From: Blade Runner, if you didn't figure it.Why It's The Greatest: The replicant, the monster, facing his end, and in so doing, displays more humanity than most of the "humans" ever did. A paradox encapsulating the human condition, and still the greatest dying soliloquy in modern cinema.BringeroftheRobotApocalypseTHE MOMENT: The very first dinosaur reveal.WHERE IT COMES FROM: Jurassic ParkWHY IT'S THE GREATEST: It's one of those moments that stirs the awe and wonder of the inner 10-year-old boy in every single one of us. A visually stunning breakthrough that immediately tells you that movie viewing is never going to be the same. JP actually has two such scenes: This one and the T-Rex attack.emeraldniteMoment: The Doctor and Sally's "conversation."From: Doctor Who "Blink"Because: Whenever fans want to introduce people to Doctor Who, THIS is the episode they show them and THIS is the scene that makes it memorable (aside from the Angel's face changing and the shaking of the TARDIS). It connects and solves many of the episode's mysteries in one scene, uses time travel in an original way never before seen (I think), and created a quote (DON'T BLINK!) and NuWho enemies (Weeping Angels) that have become part of not only Who mythology, but the scifi/fantasy lexicon as a whole. Also it's a REAL easter egg on the Series 3 dvd!Have more to add or want to vote for your favorite? Head on over to the post and do so right here!

You Are Here: Home > Foundation
Businesses and their employees throughout America face an increasing threat of criminal sanction. In a misguided overreaction to isolated but highly publicized aberrant behavior, politicians on both sides of the aisle call for more criminal statutes, less precise criminal intent requirements and increasingly lengthy prison sentences. Specific manifestations of this trend are evident in several legislative and regulatory areas—including:
as well as the continuing expansive application of vicarious corporate criminal liability for individuals and entities in the financial services sector, the pharmaceutical industry, and elsewhere.
In addition to the toll on our personal liberties, the trend of criminalizing lawful economic conduct imposes enormous costs that broadly impact corporate practices. Such laws create an overall climate of uncertainty, fear and intimidation that compels the business community to expend huge sums in order to practice "defensive commerce."
NACDL, the bar association of the nation's criminal defense practitioners, and NACDL's partner foundation, the Foundation for Criminal Justice (FCJ) work to stop or even reverse these trends and to ameliorate the harm they have caused through a meaningful criminal justice reform platform. NACDL's White Collar Crime Project tracks relevant legislation, rules and enforcement trends and, in response to threats or opportunities, develops strategies, recruits experts, and coordinates responses from influential stakeholders. The Project focuses on federal and state white collar crime policies as they implicate corporate entities as well as individuals in the criminal justice system. NACDL has demonstrated its capacity to achieve these objectives. The FCJ supports research, training and education to seek a fairer and more humane criminal justice system, including projects, such as grand jury reform and discovery abuse, that relate directly to the intersection of criminal justice policy and the business community.
NACDL and the FCJ seek funding to support the White Collar Crime Project and the overall mission to rein in overcriminalization and combat government abuse of the criminal justice process. In broad terms, support will enable NACDL to continue to pursue the following objectives:
• Build coalitions among diverse groups in support of a common effort to combat overcriminalization.
• Promote reforms designed to ensure that all criminal statutes and regulations clearly define the prohibited conduct and include an express criminal intent provision with respect to every element of an offense.
• Support state and federal discovery reform to ensure that all information favorable to an accused is promptly and completely disclosed by prosecuting entities.
• Seek fundamental reform of the grand jury process to ensure fairness and balance for targets, subjects and witnesses.
• Aggressively pursue the mission to rein in overcriminalization through high quality training and educational programs, including both live seminars and webinars.
• Build upon NACDL's highly regarded amicus program to identify appropriate cases for intervention, and seek support for amicus briefs from groups representing a broad ideological spectrum. • Seize every opportunity to cultivate public awareness of the problem of overcriminalization and abuse of the criminal process through aggressive and innovative media strategies.
• Respond promptly and comprehensively to proposed criminal legislation to ensure compliance with the principles essential to prevent overcriminalization. • Continue to pursue a broad strategy to educate legislators, staffers, media and other opinion leaders in an effort to heighten awareness of and sensitivity to overcriminalization concerns.
• Oppose retrogressive sentencing practices that disproportionately impact the white collar area.
If your company or foundation is interested in providing support for NACDL's reform work, please contact Norman Reimer at (202) 465-7623 or email@example.com, or consider tax deductible contributions to the Foundation for Criminal Justice, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that assists the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) with resource development and the enhancement of its programs through the philanthropy of its membership, law firms, interested corporations and foundations, as well as the wider public.

The Southwest Valley Republic examines public-safety concerns, identity and quality of life in Mobile, which Goodyear annexed in 2007.
PART 1: The financial and logistical challenges Goodyear faces to keep Mobile residents' homes and buildings safe from fire.
PART 2: How Mobile Elementary School has become the heart of the community where residents gather to volunteer, socialize and get the water they need.
PART 3: How residents live without running water, paved roads, stores, movie theaters and other city amenities.
Most Goodyear residents have running water, paved roads, a hospital a short drive away, and for them dialing 911 doesn't mean a 30-minute wait for help to arrive.
But it's a different story for the nearly 80 people in Mobile, a remote community along Arizona 238.
"We take care of our own," said Ed Barnes, 70, who has lived in Mobile for 13 years. Residents in Mobile say they have had to wait nearly 30 minutes for emergency calls. Nearby Maricopa assists with fires, but water must be carried to the area because Mobile doesn't have water infrastructure.
The Goodyear Fire Department is placing a two-man crew in Mobile in July to alleviate response times on emergency medical calls. The decision came after Maricopa ended the contract it signed with Goodyear in April 2009 to provide fire and medical services to Mobile, about 17 miles away.
Under the agreement, Maricopa was supposed to have a four-man crew in Mobile to respond to emergency calls, but residents said the crew was often off-site and that affected quick response.
Maricopa said crews leave the station to meet training requirements, on-duty calls and off-site needs like grocery shopping.
But Maricopa will help out with structure fires under a mutual-aid agreement.
Structure fires are a hazard because the Goodyear crew will have a brush-fire truck that isn't equipped to fight large fires without assistance from Maricopa.
That means residents may still wait up to 30 minutes for backup.
Goodyear annexed Mobile in 2007, when Scottsdale developer Montage Holdings promised to build nearly 42,000 homes and about 20 million square feet of commercial space.
As part of that plan, Montage Holdings was going to pay $2.5 million to Goodyear for the cost of Mobile's police and fire services.
The plan collapsed when the company declared bankruptcy. This left Goodyear having to foot the bill for public safety.
Mesquite trees, desert brush and dirt cover most of the 67-square-mile Mobile community.
The roughly 80 residents, who live in about 35 homes, mainly use 83rd Avenue and Kinney Road, both are unpaved roads, to access schools, homes and emergency services.
Many have lived there for more than a decade and others relocated for the quiet desert and a peaceful, close-knit community.
"It's like you're camping. You go out at night, watch shooting stars and come indoors and sleep," said Pat Blair, who moved to Mobile from Glendale in 2004.
People do their own policing, often stopping strangers to ask what they're doing in the remote town, because most of the time they don't get visitors.
Many windows are protected with iron bars and almost every resident owns a gun.
"It's a different way of life out here," Barnes said.
The residents said they understand that rural life sometimes involves sacrificing city benefits, like running water.
Residents use a well at the Mobile Elementary School or share private wells.
Because water is limited, and houses are difficult to access, residents worry they will lose their homes or belongings in a fire.
Rae Williams, 80, has lived on 240 acres at the base of a hill 9 miles from Arizona 238since 1984.
In June 2009, a plane hangar on his property with eight planes, equipment, cars and several motorcycles caught fire.
"I lost all the airplanes, the hangar, machinery, tools and on and on," said Williams, adding the hangar was engulfed in flames by the time firefighters arrived.
Maricopa firefighters responded to the emergency call but it took more than 30 minutes.
"The hangar was a total loss because there wasn't enough water, and it took backup awhile to get there," said Ken Pantoja, Maricopa fire battalion chief.
The brush-fire truck used for initial response in Mobile holds 500 gallons of water, 30 gallons of foam and is equipped with shovels and tools that fight smaller fires.
Kit Wood, principal of Mobile Elementary School, said permanent emergency crew are important. "It is a safety concern because to take care of injuries there is that long drive into town," Wood said.
Goodyear's two-man crew and one brush-fire truck permanently stationed at the Mobile Fire Station will alleviate concerns that emergency medical response takes too long, said Paul Luizzi,Goodyear's interim fire chief
The truck is equipped with a water tank that holds a minimum of 200 gallons. The truck will not be able to fight structure fires and Maricopa would still provide fire backup. Moving a two-person unit to Mobile will cost Goodyear up to $236,355 a year.
The city previously paid Maricopa $73,000 annually to house a four-man crew and provide a firetruck for medical and fire services.
Maricopa officials told Goodyear they no longer want to continue providing the service because they want to keep their personnel and resources, Goodyear City Manager John Fischbach said.
The Maricopa fire chief could not be reached for comment.
Fischbach said the costs, which will come out of the city's general fund, are already included in the proposed 2011-12 budget. Additional costs include annual payments to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office of about $144,000 for a deputy patrols and 24-hour-a-day response to service calls.
Goodyear leases the Mobile fire station, a bank-owned building managed by Evergreen Development, for $3,000 a year.
Luizzi said Goodyear firefighters hope to rebuild in Mobile.
Goodyear may begin emergency management training for Mobile residents. Goodyear provided a two-man crew from 2007 until 2009 and averaged an eight-minute response time for 62 calls that were made in the time frame.
A single classroom building holds Mobile Elementary School's entire student population: 24.
In a room papered with colorful posters and art projects, kindergartners through second-graders scrawl letters into work books or play educational games online while teacher's aides sit quietly with other students whispering instructions.
A divider separates them from a hushed group of third- through fifth-graders taking end-of-the-year exams; the nine students aren't arranged by grade level but said they like hearing about subjects that older students study.
A third section of the room is used for the school's three oldest students in sixth and seventh grade. Because the classroom is small, their teacher has arranged the three students in a small circle to encourage communication. There are no eighth-graders this year.
But the school is more than a learning center. It's a City Hall, a gathering place for residents to socialize and water reservoir of sorts.
The classroom and the other buildings that support the school are the hub of Mobile, a community of about 80 people that Goodyear annexed in 2007 but which is separated from the city by mountains, desert and contrasting lifestyles.
Mobile residents meet at the Mobile Elementary School, which also serves as City Hall, volunteer center, recreation site, make-shift restaurant and main source of water.
The elementary school has buildings that house administrative office space, a cafeteria, computer commons and library.
Once students graduate, they go to high school in Maricopa, about 17 miles away, or enroll in online courses. Because student population is small, three grades share one classroom space and one teacher.
Each classroom is equipped with computers where students access educational programs to supplement textbook curricula.
"I actually like it here. You get spoiled," said Tristin Huggett, 12.
In the afternoons, students chat and eat lunch alongside staff members and volunteers who assist with after-school tutoring, making textbooks, organizing administrative offices or tending to buses and school grounds.
On birthdays students share cupcakes with volunteers while Ron Graham, the school cook, leads a chorus of "Happy Birthday."
Graham said he enrolled his two sons in the school to spend more time with them and for the "small-community" feel in Mobile.
"The personalized attention is almost like they are being home-schooled and everyone here knows everyone. People are always coming in asking if I need help," Graham said.
Students' extracurricular activities include art, music and physical education classes, and they're also helping to piece together a quilt for a teacher who is pregnant.
Holiday dinners are in the cafeteria and the Goodyear City Council meets at the school when it visits Mobile, said Principal and Superintendent Kit Wood.
Wood recently started a newsletter for Mobile residents with updates about school events, accomplishments, field trips and staff.
"We rally around the school," said Pat Barnes, who volunteers in the administration office making textbooks.
The school is flanked by a water-storage tank that holds 10,000 gallons of water. The tank and the underground well is the community's major source of water.
Mobile doesn't have underground water infrastructure and residents have to transport water to their homes or share private wells. The school is the only building with underground water capabilities. The Mobile Elementary School District provides water to residents at no cost.
People make trips in trucks with water tenders two or three times a week, said Tom Ladd, the facilities manager for Mobile Elementary School.
The well is fed by a natural aquifer about 470 feet below ground. Gravity flow and a sensor-system monitors the well and keeps the tank filled, Ladd said.
A machine automatically administers chlorine to keep the water clean and drinkable.
The well is also the only source of water backup for firefighters. Battling structure fires in Mobile is made difficult by isolated homes, unpaved roads and a lack of water infrastructure.
Brush-fire trucks carry a limited supply of water to fires in the area. The school well is the nearest place to replenish water supply in case of fires.
Pat Blair, a resident and school volunteer, said people mostly use the well when water from private wells is too salty to drink or they live far away.
Cars speed on the three graded dirt roads and a paved highway that serve as the main transportation routes in Mobile.
Sometimes people drive more than twice the speed limit in residential areas where children live, said Ed Barnes, 70, a Mobile resident.
Others say too much dust is created when driving on the unpaved roads, and then when it rains, those roads are damaged.
They say they have repeatedly asked Goodyear for road improvements.
Goodyear annexed Mobile in 2007. The community is separated from the city by the Estrella Mountain Range and is accessible from Goodyear by traveling 60 milesof highway.
Residents use 83rd Avenue, Kinney Road and Arizona 238 to get to school, nearby towns and residential areas. The city also grades 99th Avenue.
Goodyear said improving the roads in Mobile is challenging because many are privately owned. The city won't make improvements until it finds alternative sources of funding.
"We do owe (Mobile) more than we have provided in the past, but the city has limited resources at this point in time," Councilman Gary Gelzer said.
In January, Goodyear added road improvements in Mobile to its five-year consolidation plan with the Urban County program, a Maricopa County program that uses federal Community Development Block Grants to fund roads.
Though the road improvements aren't funded, adding them to the long-term development plan allows the city to pursue those federal grants.
Improvements include paving 4,000 linear feet of all-weather roadways in the community, which could cost about $600,000.
Having good roads is a concern in the community of about 80 residents located along Arizona 238.
If it rains heavily, Rae Williams, 80, can't leave his house because dirt roads wash out and it is difficult to cross the mud and water in the washes. He clears and maintains part of the narrow dirt road that winds from his home, which is nine miles from the nearest graded road.
Earlier this year, Katie Wilken, a planner for Goodyear, said roads in Mobile require extensive repair after heavy rainfall. The city pays about $75,000 annually to grade Mobile roads.
Nora Fascenelli, a spokeswoman for Goodyear, said maintenance is provided when needed, and grading is completed quarterly.
"Staff reviews roads after significant weather events and in response to calls for service," she said.
The city is mulling dust-calming measures and reducing traffic in some areas. City staff has estimated that those improvements would cost about $150,000. A timeline and project details have not been determined, Fascenelli said.
The distance it takes to reach Mobile from Goodyear means residents don't get a full range of city services. Residents have compensated for the lack of services by installing private water wells, using alternative sources of energy and small-scale septic systems.
Mobile residents also get weekly curbside-trash and -recycling pickup, which is provided by Waste Management Inc. Goodyear pays $11,500 annually to provide sanitation services to Mobile.
Goodyear does not provide bulk collections in Mobile, but residents in the area can drop off waste at the Mobile Fire Station, under an agreement Goodyear made with Waste Management.
"The city provides sanitation services to 11 active paying sanitation accounts in Mobile," Fascenelli said.
Goodyear doesn't provide water or sewer services in Mobile because the area does not have water infrastructure.
Many residents make do with private resources, including water wells, solar-energy panels, wind turbines, generators and septic tanks.
Although most Goodyear residents might balk at the thought of no water service or bulk-trash pickup, Mobile residents are accustomed to that life.
Delores Brown, a Mobile resident, has a private water well, solar-energy panels and a wind turbine on her property.
She installed her well in 1999 and fills a storage tank with water about once a week.
Brown doesn't worry about the water she gets because she said it's clean and free.
She lives alone with her two dogs and spends most her time coaxing her grape, citrus and herb garden to grow in the hot desert sun.
Her biggest complaint is that chipmunks keep eating her grape plants.
Delores Brown walks past her solar panels and water well at her home in Mobile.

Alter Bridge Watch Over You Lyrics
Last updated: 09/18/2010 12:00:00 PM
Leaves are on the ground
Fall has come
Blue skies turning grey
Like my love
I tried to carry you
And make you whole
But it was never enough
I must go
Who is gonna save you
When I'm gone?
And who'll watch over you
When I'm gone?
You say you care for me
But hide it well
How can you love someone
And not yourself?
And when I'm gone
Who will break your fall?
Who will you blame?
I can't go on
And let you lose it all
It's more than I can take
Who'll ease your pain?
Ease your pain
Who is gonna save you when I'm gone?
Who'll watch over you?
Who will give you strength when you're not strong.
Who'll watch over you when I've gone away?
Snow is on the ground
Winters come
You long to hear my voice
But I'm long gone

Expresso Trail Day: Sunday, April 28th
This Sunday, April 28th, come on out and get dirty in the woods. We'll have swag from the NSMB Store, RockShox, and Dissent Labs – and of course we'll be serving burgers at lunch and generally having a great time.
This is our second trail day of the year… story and photos from our first effort can be found HERE. For a great visual recap of last year's work, check out Jerry Willows' photo set HERE and another set from Morgan Taylor and Jerry Willows HERE.
When: Sunday April 28th @ 8:30 am
Where: Upper Lynn School on Coleman St. Map HERE.
What to bring: It would be a good idea to bring some water to drink. If you'd like to bring tools you may but we'll have access to as many as we need as well.
Lunch: Lunch will be provided. Let us know if you are coming and have special meal requirements. We aim to please.
Experience necessary: None. If you are new to trail work we'll have lots of experienced builders there keen to show you the ropes.
Time commitment: That is up to you. If you'd like to ride up to meet us and work for a few hours part way through the day we'd be stoked to see you. If you can stay for the whole trail day great. We generally wrap before 3:00.
We hope you can join us on the 28th of April for some digging, hauling, water diverting, and of course lunch and good times. No experience is necessary and you might just walk away with something other than the guaranteed trail karma. Questions or comments welcome below…

I had a great time at the trail day today! It was nice to meet everyone I hadn't before, and thanks Pete/Trev/Cam/Morg for cooking up lunch!
April 25, 2013, 5:13 p.m. - SubPlop
There seems to be tons of trail days happening, all the time. Check the Forum.
I'd recommend coming out this day for sure with Digger being there and last time Willows as well, lots of knowledge being passed around and good vibe. And, of course free swag. Do it!
March 14, 2013, 10:19 p.m. - SixZeroSixOne
It's gonna need a lot of work. Pushed/rode Expresso last weekend and there's an awful lot of trees down across the trail…

Our very own Jumbo Jack is at the Face-Off Classic today. Viewing from the press box, he'll be delivering his observations via Twitter. Follow LAS on Twitter and look below for constant updates!
Notes & Photos from Jumbo:
Sitting next to a WSU Coug who's taking pics for espn the magazine. He also used to be Idaho's athletic department photographer. Small world.
The field, pregame:
Margarita Machine: The Margarator! Today was its maiden voyage and its skipper Jameson made a mean marg, Rooting for the Terps.
The flames: Guys name was Rudy, rooting for Hopkins and he was heating up the coals for some chicken wings and Hot Dogs.
Mimosas: Didn't catch their name but they were rooting for Hopkins, and Loyola and didn't care who won the game between the MD and Duke. They hate "eating club dandies of Princeton, NJ" and that's a fact.
Empty parking lot 1.5 hours before the game. Only Gait is there.
Had a nice chat with Baltimore City Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld III. The Commissioner wants to use lacrosse as a tool to combat gang violence and the Baltimore City Police Dept. is teaming up with the Parks & People Foundation to present the Baltimore Middle School Lacrosse League.
Currently they're able to outfit 8 teams but their goal is to have 20 teams within 3 years. The police force is drawing on the many officers who have lacrosse experience as well as local college and professional players to help them spread the game. When I asked him why he thought so many former players continue to give back to the game, the Commissioner told me that when players are teaching what comes across to their students is how important the team mentality is in the sport. It's this respect for the hard work of their teammates that motivates former players to spread the game.
For more info go http://www.parksandpeople.org/play/
From Coach Danowski at the press conference:
Kids on the field at halftime:
Princeton vs. Hopkins:
Talked with Andy Bilello, Director of Business Development for Inside Lacrosse. IL got the idea for their events from the old college football kickoff classic, various b-ball season tip offs, etc. Ticket sales haven't been too affected by economy. Part of the purpose of the event is to note the kick off of the season.
– About sponsorships: events like this have really started to show the value of the lacrosse audience, not only have traditional sponsorships remained strong, but new ones have popped up.
– They want to help expand the sport through these types of events.
– About Potential IL events out West: they want to do something but what that something is they don't know at this point. NFL stadiums really lend legitimacy to the sport.
– On the success of this event: It's been so successful that other venues are trying to get lacrosse events at their facilities.
Thanks to Jumbo for all the great coverage!

The name is a tough one. People have a hard time grasping the "Amygdala" part. The word refers to a part of the human brain which homes emotions, such as fear and rage. Instincts, which stem to memory, are also a part of it.
"When we place the word 'travel' in front of 'amygdala', we are trying to make it visual, giving the name the same texture our music has. We 'travel' through our 'fears and rage', driven by our past which respectively affects our future. We represent the journey of life. We are the waves, hills, currents, quakes, and sunny days. We are your happy place and your biggest fears all put in front of you screaming in your face".

KIRYAS JOEL — The U.S. Department of Labor filed a federal complaint this week against a Monroe company, accusing it of violating minimum wage and overtime laws, as well as failing to keep records of employees' hours, pay rates and earnings.
The Department of Labor seeks a court order finding the Hatzlucha Meat Market Inc. and its officers, Abraham Schlesinger and Yitzchok Tyrnauer, liable for the unpaid compensation, according to documents filed Monday in Federal Court in White Plains.
A call to the company Friday afternoon was not returned.
The Labor Department found Hatzlucha's operators "willfully and repeatedly" violated labor laws, in that company records failed to accurately reflect "the hours worked each workday, the total hours worked each work week, the regular rate of pay, the total earnings for each work week, and/or the total compensation for each work week with respect to many of their employees."
Feds: Monroe company violated some labor laws

Learn moreInfinity Villa consists of 2 villas; here we are advertising Villa Lotus. See also VRBO Listing 369989.
The property is located in one of the most beautiful parts of one of the most beautiful islands in the world. It is surrounded by terraced rice fields, offering stunning views in all directions, including volcanoes (extinct), a mountain range, patches of jungle and the ocean with neighboring islands in the distance. The location is a unique combination of private seclusion and easy access to all the restaurants, shopping and services of Bali's No. 2 tourist destination of Ubud, a mere 6 kms away.
The villa is right in the middle of a sea of rice fields, on a gradual upslope to Mount Batur, a double caldera volcano that offers one of the most breathtaking views on the planet. Mount Agung, the most revered peak in Bali, looms to the northeast. The Central Mountains to the west provide often often spectacular scenes, as the clouds shroud them or the sun sets behind them. You will never tire of the views !!
Your Surroundings: You will have the opportunity to watch the surrounding rice fields being worked, with each time of year offering something special, from the reflecting ponds just prior to planting, to the gentle swaying of the yellowing rice before harvest. Our garden has many exotic plants and flowers, some of which you can pick for cut flower arrangements in the house. Butterflies will entertain you during the day and fireflies will enchant you at night. You may never want to leave the confines of our little paradise.
Close By: There are at least a dozen major tourist attractions within an hour's drive. Some of the most photographed of Bali's rice fields are only 3 km away, and Ubud offers a wide array of cultural and artistic attractions, including more art galleries and shops per square kilometer than New York or London. The ocean is about 25km away, while the tourist meccas of Kuta and Seminyak are about 35km from Ubud. The airport for Bali is 40km from Ubud, but a taxi will cost you only about the equivalent of $25 US, depending on your bargaining skills. We can help arrange your airport transfers, local transport or vehicle rental needs.
Whether you are coming to Ubud for one of its well known events, such as Bali Spirit Festival or the Readers and Writers Festival, to hone your yoga or meditation skills, or just to relax and enjoy the magical atmosphere, staying at Villa Lotus will only enhance your experience. We guarantee a wonderful time here !!
My son and I have lived in Bali for 7 years now, and I run our rental villas with lots of attention to detail and passion. I was a lawyer in Canada until 'retiring' about 8 years ago.
My staff and I will do our very best to ensure that you have a wonderful stay with us. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.
Max and Nicco Reinhold
Stephan Max Reinhold purchased this villa in 2009
We live on the same property as our rental villas. We decided to live here because it is truly one of the most beautiful parts of the whole island. We love the views in all directions and never tire of looking around us and feeling totally contented.
It is simply fantastic here !!
You will enjoy the stunning natural beauty in a serene and private setting, while still having very easy reach of all the restaurants, shops, galleries, museum and other attractions of Ubud. Experience real Bali life as it unfolds in the sea of rice fields surrounding the property.
this is paradise ! so relaxing and nice ! we stayed with our two daughters and it was stunning. take a swim before breakfast in the pool while the maids prepare the breakfast, then take the scooters that are available for rent for a tour to ubud. just enjoy your time .we would absolutely recommend this place to anyone
Infinity villa is amazing. Everything was taken care of from the moment we arrived at the airport until we departed. Max is the greatest host and the villa
Is so relaxing. It is about 15 min by scooter from ubud central and a great ride into town for great food and shopping. Highly recommended for rest and relaxation swimming in the infinity pool in the middle of rice fields. A true Bali experience.
My husband and I went to Bali on our honeymoon and stayed for 7 nights at the Infinity Villa after being in Kuta for 2 nights. We chose to stay here because of the amazing reviews and pictures. It was the best decision we made and Max and his incredible team helped us have a honeymoon beyond our wildest dreams.
Max is just such a wonderful person and helped us plan our adventures and was a wealth of information and guidance. We loved the villa so much and it was so serene and blissful for us. The villa is gorgeous and we loved our little haven in the jungle. Waking up to the sunrise over the rice fields was breathtaking. We had the perfect amount of adventure and relaxation.
We had the beautiful and kind Koko come to the villa and provide her phenomenal massages almost daily. She is by far the best massage therapist I have ever had. Don't pass her up!
We really have zero things we would have changed and cannot wait to come back to this little piece of paradise.
Thank you Max, Nicco and Koko for having us!!! We hope to see you soon!
Iman and Jeff Gatti
Everything about Infinity Villas, right from my first contact with the owner Max, was perfect! Max could not be more helpful, whether it was arranging day outings, best places to eat, transport, all with out being intrusive and fully appreciating our need for a relaxing, not to busy schedule!
My Wife and I stayed in Lotus Villa which shares an infinity pool with the villa next door, we basically had the pool to ourselves for the entire two weeks, even tho the other Villa was occupied for the duration.
The Villa itself is beautiful and excactly as we had envisaged, the sights the sounds, everything, just gorgeous, during our stay, we had the rice paddies go from empty fields to wonderfully vibrant green, we were lucky enough to arrive just on planting.
The staff were brilliant, with every respect for your privacy, and happy to drive you anywhere at the drop of a hat, having said that, scooters would be invaluable, if you are up for the somewhat crazy traffic, we decided not, as the price for the short trip in to Ubud is very little.
If you like massage, Coco is amazing, we foolishly left it until the last two days, but had we known (actually Max did tell us) how good she is, we would probably have had a massage daily!
I would totally recommend Infinity to anyone wanting to stay close to Ubud, but away from the hectic centre of town.....Bliss!
Thank you Max and Staff, we had a wonderful two weeks and can not wait to come back.
Brett and Kathryn
We stayed in Villa Lotus and had a very pleasant time. The villa is clean and has everything you need. The views from the villa are really great.
The owner Max is very pro-active and help full. If we travel a next time to Bali we stay here again!
We recently stayed for a week at Infinity Villa's Villa Bamboo. Upon getting used to the different way of living in Bali than we are used to, Villa Bamboo became like a second home to us.
Let me first say that Max, the villas' owner, was an extraordinary resource. Having been from New York City and never to Bali, we weren't familiar with what to expect in the country. Max was fast and extensive in his responses and and in his assistance in setting up activities for us during our stay (we were in town primarily for a friend's wedding). We had a lot of questions, and Max would reply back to each of them usually within a day, and he helped us feel more secure about our stay.
Villa Bamboo (which seems to be the mirror image of its adjacent villa) is gorgeous. When we arrived, our airport driver who works on staff introduced us to the villa and gave us an overview of the place. The villa has two floors. The downstairs is an open living room and kitchen with sliding doors that open out into an infinity pool overlooking a quiet rice field, where you might see a worker or two in the morning, or some herons or colorful birds. There is also a private bathroom and shower. Upstairs is a grand bedroom with sliding doors, great air conditioning and a ceiling fan, and a bathroom. This bathroom is more truly "outdoors" than the downstairs one, which was unusual to us but also quite novel and fun. I miss it already!
Bali is a buggy place, and friendly critters cohabit with you everywhere. Since you are in the middle of a rice field, you'll see the occasional lizard or frog in the villa, taking care of bugs that might fly through. But don't let that daunt you -- it's fairly standard for Bali. The mosquito netting at night added protection but probably wasn't needed in bed: We slept soundly and comfortably as "city folk."
It's about a 15-20 minute car to Ubud Main Road. Max provides a local mobile phone should you need a ride or to call for help. We learned that getting back from Ubud Main Road (about 80,000 - 100,000 Rupiah, or < US$7.50) was easiest when we asked the taxi drivers if they knew where Tegallalang Market (tuh GALL uh long) was. If so, they just hang a left there, then another left at the Children's Crossing sign about a 100 meters from there, then it's about 1.5km to Infinity Villa.
Breakfast was delicious! Wifi was solid. Bali Buda delivers great food (don't order a smoothie - it'll be warm when it arrives!). We recommend Infinity Vila!
Villa Lotus is located 6 km north of Ubud, completely surrounded by beautiful terraced rice fields. The setting is private and pristine, yet it takes only 10 minutes by car or scooter to reach Ubud. The town of Ubud is the cultural and artistic center of Bali, and offers a multitude of art galleries, dance performances, handicraft shops, restaurants, spas and museums. Villa Lotus is an ideal starting point for taking in all of the attractions in Ubud and area, while being able to escape the traffic and noise of Ubud itself.

Excess Labor and the Business Cycle
This paper compares the Medoff-Fay estimates of labor hoarding during troughs, which are based on data from manufacturing plants, with aggregate estimates of excess labor on hand.The two sets of estimates seem consistent, which provides a strong argument in favor of the excess labor hypothesis. This is one of the few examples in macroeconomics where a hypothesis has been so strongly confirmed using detailed micro data.

Cimzia is currently commercialized in over 30 countries in such regions as Europe and the US
Singapore: Astellas Pharma and UCB Japan have launched Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) in Japan for adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to conventional treatment (including inhibition of progression of bone structural damage).
Cimzia is the only PEGylated Fc-free anti-TNF and has a high affinity for TNF-alpha, a factor involved in the onset and exacerbation of inflammatory diseases, such as RA, and selectively inhibits the effects of TNF-alpha.
In Japanese clinical trials, improvements in the signs and symptoms of RA were observed in adult patients one week after administration of Cimzia with or without methotrexate (MTX), in accordance with the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology.
Improvements were also observed in physical function as measured by the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) criteria. The progression of joint damage, as measured by change in Van der Heijde modified Total Sharpe Score (mTSS), was inhibited by Cimzia when given with and without MTX.
The safety profile of Cimzia in the Japanese clinical trials was consistent with the safety profile reported in previous studies of Cimzia in RA conducted outside Japan.
Cimzia is in the form of a prefilled syringe to facilitate self-administration by RA patients, once trained by their healthcare professional. For adult patients 400 mg should be administered at Weeks 0, 2, and 4, followed by 200 mg every 2 weeks. For maintenance dosing, 400mg every 4 weeks s.c. can be considered.
Cimzia is currently commercialized in over 30 countries in such regions as Europe and the US. In January 2012, Astellas and UCB entered into the agreement to jointly develop and commercialize Cimzia for RA in Japan. Cimzia was granted Japanese marketing approval in December, 2012 and listed on the NHI price listing in February, 2013. Astellas will make a payment to UCB for the launch milestone. The impact of this milestone on Astellas' financial results of the current fiscal year, ending March 31, 2013 will be immaterial.
Under the terms of the agreement, UCB will manufacture and supply the product for commercialization and Astellas will exclusively manage distribution and sales. Astellas and UCB Japan will work together to conduct promotion activities of the product in Japan.
Astellas and UCB Japan believe that by launching Cimzia in the Japanese market they will be able to provide RA patients with a new treatment option and contribute further to treatment of the disease.

Gresham-Barlow bus operators drive labor dispute with First Student
School district's unionized drivers may strike
This September, more than 5,200 students in the Gresham-Barlow School District will catch a ride on a First Student bus.
But labor trouble between the private company and its unionized bus drivers could mean your child's favorite bus driver won't be there to greet him or her the first day of school.
The bus drivers joined the Oregon School Employees Association in June 2010 and belong to OSEA Chapter 204. The 110 drivers want to collectively bargain a contract with First Student, and are talking about striking if the company doesn't agree to a contract - or at least talk wages and benefits - by September.
Karin Richardson, a union bargaining team member, said the team and First Student officials have met a few times, but First Student 'refuses to talk economics.' She added the union has filed nine complaints against First Student with the National Labor Relations Board.
The Outlook sent several questions regarding the drivers' wages, benefits and safety concerns via email to First Student's company headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio.
However, Bonnie Bastian, company spokeswoman, said the company won't comment on ongoing negotiations and 'the majority of the questions you have asked are a part of our continuing negotiations with the union.'
Union beefs
Four key issues are in play in the labor dispute - wages, sick day policies, bus safety concerns and health benefits.
On average, First Student bus drivers employed in the Gresham-Barlow district for five years or so make about $12.40 an hour, Richardson said. The union would like to increase that wage to between $14 and $15 an hour, she added.
The union also wants First Student to decrease the amount of money employees contribute to health plans, and abolish a policy that punishes employees for calling in sick.
According to Richardson, for every day employees call in sick, they are docked a half-point off a 15-point scale. Employees can be fired once they reach 15 points (30 sick days a year), Richardson added.
It's reasonable for the company to want its employees to show up for work unless they're truly sick, Richardson said. However, because of the points policy, employees are afraid to call in sick because they have no paid sick days and come into work when they shouldn't.
She shared anecdotes of employees vomiting before driving buses because they were ill, but afraid to stay home from work.
'I never call in sick,' added Jennie Seibel, a bus driver.
Seibel said drivers view the points policy as endangering the health of co-workers and the children they transport.
'We think the point system should not even be there,' Richardson said. 'It's terrible, it's ridiculous.'
First Student did not respond to the questions about the policy.
Safe to drive?
Drivers also express concern about the safety and age of the bus fleet, claiming company officials have repeatedly ignored their concerns.
In response, Bastian said 'the average age of a First Student bus is 6.98 years, which compares favorably to the national average of 10-plus years.
'We perform regular scheduled maintenance and ongoing vehicle maintenance checks to ensure our buses are in top running condition,' she added. 'Each of our school buses follows a stringent daily, monthly and annual vehicle maintenance program. In addition, each driver conducts a multi-point inspection prior to beginning each route to ensure the bus is in proper operating condition.'
When read Bastian's statement, Richardson laughed and said some of the company's buses are 20 years old, and that she's been told some repairs can't be made because of the expense.
When asked if the district had any safety concerns, Jerry Jones, Gresham-Barlow's assistant superintendent and chief financial officer, said he was satisfied First Student was a safe company.
He noted First Student reported 16 accidents over the course of 2010-11, all of them minor, and that no children were seriously injured.
He added the most dramatic accident occurred in Woodburn on April 11, when a radiator blew on a bus taking North Gresham Elementary students to Salem on a field trip.
Radiator coolant reportedly sprayed from an engine compartment inside the bus onto some of the students, but they were treated at the scene and none were hospitalized.
Union representatives claim drivers warned First Student the bus had equipment problems, but their complaints were ignored. Jones said he discussed the problem with the company after the April 11 incident, and the company then replaced radiator hoses in several buses, including the one involved in the incident.
Since 1999 the district, Jones added, has contracted with First Student, and 'we've been satisfied with their service.
'I'm satisfied with them traveling more than a million miles a year transporting students,' he said.
He added that neither the district nor the school board will take a side in the labor dispute. He noted the district contracts with other private employers, including a food service company, and doesn't weigh in on negotiations between employees and employers.
Making their case
OSEA field representative Fernando Gapasin said contract negotiations were scheduled June 21-23 with First Student.
However, when union representatives arrived June 21, a First Student negotiator allegedly informed them the company had filed a petition to have the union decertified with the National Labor Relations Board and had unilaterally decided to cancel negotiations.
The union then reportedly informed First Student the company's actions violated the law and that until an election was held to decertify the union, First Student was required to negotiate.
'We also informed (First Student) that until our unfair labor practices complaints were resolved their decertification petition was meaningless and that an election could not even be held,' the union statement read.
The union has filed nine unfair labor practice petitions with the National Labor Relations Board, and has noted the company has since requested a bargaining session.
'It was obvious that First Student understood that they had committed yet another breach of the law,' the union said.
The union added that 'because First Student has refused to bargain economics, the National Labor Relations Board will be seeking immediate injunctive relief for the union' before a federal court.
The NLRB and the union will present their case before a federal administrative law judge Aug. 9-11. In addition, the union and First Student have agreed to federal mediation, which is scheduled Aug. 2-4 in Portland.
Bastian replied to the union's statement by writing: 'First Student has been and will continue to negotiate with the union in good faith.'
Other districts
Some First Student drivers wish the Gresham-Barlow district would ditch the company and handle its transportation in-house. A cursory survey of other East County school districts reveals Gresham-Barlow drivers might get a better deal that way.
For example, the Reynolds School District employs its own drivers, who make between $13.43 and $19.55 per hour, said spokeswoman Andrea Watson.
Meanwhile, Reynolds drivers get nine paid holidays, as well as paid vacation.
Reynolds drivers also get 10 days of sick leave per year, three days of bereavement leave and three emergency days of leave, Watson said, adding the drivers belong to the OSEA.
Centennial School District drivers are unionized and employed in-house, making a starting wage of between $14.60 and $15.79, depending on experience, according to Rick Larson, business director.
'Regular drivers also receive up to $1,130 monthly medical insurance contribution for a fulltime employee,' he said. 'Eligible substitute cover drivers receive up to $565 monthly medical insurance contribution for a full-time employee.'

ABS light came on. Dealer said it needed Right wheel speed sensor and ABS control unit. A private garage said it needed right wheel speed sensor which I had them replace. Light went off but came back on intermittently in about 1 1/2 months. Now they say it may need Left wheel speed sensor. How many wheel speed sensors are on this minivan. Two or four? (Its the 6 passenger LX model.)

Poste Italiane, the National Italian Postal Service is launching a wireless advergame (with a video clip) to promote its new pre-paid credit card, which is the "son" of an online game featured on Poste.it. The game can be downloaded from an advergames portal as well. The idea of a wireless advergame sounds great also because it's getting a lot of attention from the media with a positive echo for the branding effect.

This year's Gallifrey One convention (Gallifrey Blackjack 21) was no exception.

Bohnams Doctor Who Auction
Yesterday the collection that the BBC had sent to Auction at Bonhams went under the Hammer.
The Torchwood SUV went for 18,000 pound Sterling and Jackson Lakes Costume Brought in 3,120 Pounds.
A full list of what each individual piece Brought can be Found at the end of this Piece though a Link to the Bonhams Website.
It should be also noted that the two Planet of the Dead red Busses were removed before the Auction began, which makes me wonder what the BBC has planed for those.

See You at Gallifrey
There's only one more week until Gallifrey 21, the annual premier Doctor Who convention of North America taking place in Los Angeles, CA. Once again, Doctor Who: Podshock will be there in force.
We are holding a Meet and Greet on the Thursday evening before the convention ("Gallifrey Eve," if you like) at the same hotel. It is at 10pm PST on the 25th of February. It is late enough to allow many of people flying in on Thursday to check into the hotel and get some dinner beforehand. The Meet and Greet is an informal (leave the tux at home) gathering where you will have a chance to come by and say hi, meet the Doctor Who: Podshock hosts, correspondents, and regular contributors to the show. Learn more about our Meet and Greet here. If you plan on meeting up with us there, please RSVP here.
If you are a Podshock Supporting Subscriber and you are going to Gallifrey 21, please let us know if you haven't done so already. In addition to the Meet and Greet, we would like to plan something special to do with supporting subscribers at Gallifrey 21. What that might be, depends on how many will be able to join us. It is because of the support of supporting subscribers we are able to bring you the show and do these events. Please if you haven't done so yet, please consider supporting us by becoming a Podshock Supporting Subscriber. It doesn't cost much and it means so much to us.

Taking the temperature of IndyCar has become an annual endeavor that for too many years was the equivalent of cleaning your teeth with a shard of glass.
The Champ Car/Indy Racing League split, the failure of both spinoffs to reclaim an audience, and the slide in media attention far behind NASCAR were just three of the aches for a sport that clearly had no business trying to split the business.
But IndyCar has made strides. Even with the 2012 schedule featuring just 16 events, there are a lot of positive signs that the sport has regained its footing.
For starters, the series that makes its annual stop in Long Beach next weekend has a full complement of teams and cars a few years after fields often creeped as low as 16 entries and the number of thriving race teams could be counted on a four-cylinder engine, with a cylinder left over.
There are 16 race teams in 2012. As always, the Penske, Ganassi and Andretti teams dominate with 10 cars between them, but there are 11 one-car teams featuring prominent drivers and tradition.
Frenchman Sebastien Bourdais, winner of three consecutive Long Beach Grand Prix titles (2005-07), is driving for Dragon Racing and he had a ninth-place finish last week in Alabama, the best yet for a team using the Lotus engines that are technically running behind engines made by Chevrolet and Honda.
Brit Mike
The Rahal/Letterman/Lanigan team - and Bobby Rahal was a fan favorite here in the grand days of Champ Car - is back, too, with Takuma Sato behind the wheel and plans to expand his stable to two or three cars during 2012.
The Ganassi and Penske teams won 75 of 99 races between 2006 and 2011 and they will likely dominate the podium as always, but it's no longer easy to dismiss the one-car teams.
There were a few times during the lean years when finding an American in the field was like finding Waldo in a Grand Prix crowd.
This year? There are 12 different countries represented in the field of 26 and seven are Americans. There are four Brits, three boys from Brazil, two drivers from Australia, Canada and France, and one each from Japan, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland and Venezuela.
The vision of the Indy Racing League, the regrettable Tony George creation that caused the split, was to feature oval racing, but there are only five ovals on the schedule - the Indy 500 and races in Texas, Milwaukee, Iowa and the season-ender in Fontana, which was a late add-on to the schedule. There's also a road race in Qingdao, China.
IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard has already promised 19 to 20 races in 2012 with an emphasis on adding more ovals. One of the issues is that many of the existing ovals were built for NASCAR and are either short or have a user-unfriendly track for open-wheel racing.
Houston has already been signed as a new venue for 2013, and there are a dozen other tracks or road courses that have expressed interest in being included in 2013.
Two road courses on the 2012 slate have been advised to upgrade their facilities; a race in Milwaukee put together by Michael Andretti has just a one-year deal; and Fontana's chances of a return in 2013 will depend on the fan reception, which was very modest the last time IndyCar ran there.
As a result, the 2013 schedule could look nothing like the 2012 slate, with the obvious exceptions of Long Beach and Indianapolis.
More good news: There are 33 spots available for the Indy 500, seven more than the existing 26 entries, and at least 10 drivers are talking with race teams about entering if they can put together a sponsorship and land one of the new engines being used in 2012.
That list includes Paul Tracy, Buddy Rice, Tomas Scheckter, Michael Jourdain and a couple of hot young names in the sport, Italian Luca Filippi and Bryan Clauson, a 22-year-old from Sacramento who starred on the IndyLights circuit in 2011.
Rahal/Letterman, Dreyer & Reinbold and Panther are current one-car teams that plan to run a second car at Indy.
So it's possible there could be some actual bumping during qualifying - last-ditch qualifying attempts to make the field of 33 - which used to be one of the main attractions at the Indy 500.
A lot will depend on the engine manufacturers. They've been produced on an as-needed basis and there isn't what one would call a lot of inventory. As it is, Lotus is way behind the other two manufacturers and has also had technical issues.
China has more than its own IndyCar race. There's a young Chinese driver named Ho-Pin Tung - who is actually half-Dutch and was born in the Netherlands - who drove in the IndyCar Sonoma event last year and is expected to get a ride from Panther Racing later this season leading up to the China date.
Pagenaud has "named" his car, and in a sign of the times, the car, "Matty77," has its own Twitter account. Long Beach Press Telegram

The Horse Forum
- Horse Breeds
- - which breed for speed??
which breed for speed?? what is the best breed to use for speed events??? |
depends what you are doing. Throroughbreds and QH or a mix of the two would be my suggestion. Maybe an Arab, depending |
I'm assuming that you're talking about gymkana events like barrels, poles, etc, right? If so, then it's usually stock horses that excel there; Quarter Horses, Paints, Appaloosas, some TBs and Appendix QHs. If you want to be really competative, then you'll need to look farther than just breed. You'll need to look at conformation, temperament, and breeding too. |
I have rode an Arab, trained a TB and ridden and trained QH and Paints. I prefer the latter two. They just have this natural ability to get under themselves and negotiate the quick turns easily, and with less hours spent training. Not saying the Arab and Tb could not do it, they could and well. But I just love working with and training my stock breeds as they seem to just have a knack for it. Posted via Mobile Device |
I agree i had a fast little arab gelding but he did have trouble with getting up under himself more then the quarter horses i have been riding. Now he did well and sometimes would really get under himself but they aren't always the best choice if you really want to compete. |
932 Attachment(s) Quarter Horses will be your most popular. I have an Appendix QH and a Paint for my speed horses. Posted via Mobile Device |
QH for short, TB for longer. Arabs for both, hehehe. |
lol...and yes nvr2. quarter horse for short speed.quickness.zero to wide open in three jumps and turning..tb for your half mile and up speed. and arabs for those 50 mile races.... so you it all covered..lol... |
i was thinking barrels poles ect. |
check quarter horse and quarter horse type horses out. there made for arena work. good luck.. ride safe and happy holidays. |
