9/1/16 – Due to lack of car count we have canceled the ASCS winged Sprint Cars for this weekend.
We will have the USRA Stock cars, Modifieds, B Modified, Limited Modifieds, Hobby Stocks and the NOW Mini Sprints both nights. The Sport Compacts will only race Saturday night.
This is our last race for the season and we will have a silent auction that benefits the San Juan Regional Medical Foundation. We will be giving away the last of the custom BBQ grill and the last Bicycle. Our 2016 Cancer Race T Shirts will be available for purchase for $10.
Come out and support a good cause and see some of the best racing before the season ends.
Aztec Speedway presents the Davey Phillips Memorial Hobby Stock and Stock Car Shoot Out on June 18, 2016 at 7PM.
See the Full 2016 Aztec Speedway Race Schedule
2016 updates, please read
First we have changed sanction bodies to USRA. This is a win/win for both drivers and the track itself. This switch should make a little more affordable for you racers to race on a weekly basis and it is less costly for us handling the track. In these economic times every dollar counts. The USRA rules are in the rules section or on their web site, United States Racing Association.
Second we have teamed up with the Aztec Boys and Girls Club in their annual Harley Davidson Motorcycle Giveaway. On April 9th Aztec Boys and Girls Club will be at Aztec Speedway to giveaway the bikes. You shouldn't miss that night. Come out and support them by purchasing a ticket –you never know it might be your lucky day.
Third our Hobby Stock class will follow the same rules we used last season but with some minor changes; these are to try to make this class less costly also. These changes are:
- Car with driver must weigh a minimum of 3150 lbs. after any race.
- Tire /wheel rule, 7 inch tire/wheel with any all season DOT tire ( no mud and snow ) on a 7 inch wheel and up to a 1 inch offset on wheel or a 1 inch spacer on any wheel end
- Optional tires/wheels are 8 inch wide take offs of modified or stock cars on an 8 inch wheel with 4 off center. If using this tire/wheel option, there is no spacing of tire/wheel on spindle/axle. (You cannot use new tires they must be take offs of the stated classes.)
Fourth we have a new touring series in the USRA divisions. The Witten's Warriors Racing Series will be traveling to neighboring tracks to raise money for the Carrie Tingley Hospital for Cerebral Palsy Awareness. This will make it somewhat easier to win a USRA National Championship without leaving the state of New Mexico.
Come out and enjoy the races this year.
Remember the Rules
As a reminder:
- No non race personal vehicles beyond pit gates. (Exceptions are track employees and ones going to handicap parking with a handicap sticker or permission from track management. Pit girls will have a list.) This also pertains to handicap in the grandstands.
- Absolutely no drinking in pits until after the last race of the night. Anyone caught drinking will be fined and subject to suspension.
- If there is a possibility of rainout wait until the call has been made.
Thank you
Drivers remember the following items are required at Aztec Speedway:
- Mufflers in all classes
- All safety gear without tears, chips, cracks, or holes
- In Modified, SportMod, and Stock Cars valid USRA License
- Portable fire extinguisher to be in pit area
- Receivers in all classes
- Transponders in all classes (we have a few to rent out)

Chris Clemens was serving in a support role for the U.S. Navy Seals overseas in 2004 when he suffered a traumatic brain injury. Seven years later, the veteran from Phoenix weighed 298 pounds and wasn't exercising at all.
"I was just taking one day at a time, just going through life," Clemens said.
He heard about a winter sports clinic sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and decided to try it out. Clemens was hooked after a week's worth of skiing, and his athletic life snowballed from there. In just over a year, he lost 100 pounds and qualified for the USA Paralympics track and field team. He will compete in the long jump, 100 meters and 200 meters when the Paralympic Games get under way in London starting today.
"Did I think I would be here, doing this, after my injury in 2004?" he said. "This wasn't even on the radar. But here I am, going to the 2012 Paralympic Games."
Not every disabled serviceman or woman who begins competing will one day make it to the Paralympics, although 20 of the elites competing in London starting this weekend are past or present military members. But there are a number of organizations working to introduce active and retired military individuals to adaptive sports at every skill level.
Among those is the U.S. Olympic Committee's Paralympics division.
"Obviously, the need for these programs increased beginning in 2003 and 2004," Charlie Huebner, chief of Paralympics for the USOC, said. "And no doubt, our military service members tend to be competitive. There's a number who want to represent their country at the Paralympic Games."
You may have seen Citi's commercial featuring military veteran Kari Miller. The double-leg amputee walks into a gymnasium and proceeds to take off her prosthetics for a sitting volleyball competition. The commercial ends with her tagline: "I'm still serving my country, I just wear a different uniform."
Miller's participation highlights the diverse nature of injured servicemen and women. Unlike Clemens, who sustained his injury while serving abroad, Miller lost her legs in a domestic car accident in 1990.
"(Miller) is a great ambassador in terms of enhancing awareness about the importance of these programs," Huebner said. "Whether the injury is sustained in service to your country or in a car accident, we're focused on building programs at the community level so active and veteran service members can live healthier, more productive lifestyles."
The Wounded Warrior Project does focus specifically on military personnel injured while serving; since its inception shortly after Sept. 11, 2011, more than 20,800 service members have participated in its programming. The adaptive athletics portion of the project has been slower to expand than some other support facets, though, which could be attributed to disengagement or depression, Jason Martinez, regional manager of physical health and wellness, said.
"These Warriors come back from their service, a lot of them are very apprehensive to come out and try new things," Martinez said. "It's important to get them out and involved and show them they're still capable of accomplishing new goals."
Often, competing in athletics just doesn't seem as important as other concerns following a life-altering injury, said Lane Jeppesen, executive director of Arizona Disabled Sports.
"They have other things to focus on, like their family or their job or just their life in general," Jeppesen said. "You don't say, 'Oh, I want to learn how to play basketball again.' You're focusing on re-learning basic life skills."
To that end, Jeppesen said ADS attempts to recruit injured service members, as they do not always independently seek out programs. Staff first spearheaded initiatives geared directly toward injured military personnel six years ago. Since that time, involvement has nearly doubled, though that still means just 10 to 12 service men and women participating in each military-specific sports clinic.
The physical benefits of getting involved in athletics are numerous, but just as important are the psychological gains said Paul Newhouse, professor of psychiatry and director of Vanderbilt University's Center for Cognitive Medicine.
Newhouse, a retired military officer, pointed to treatments developed by military psychiatrists in the 1940s to combat psychological breakdowns in injured soldiers as the genesis for modern-day stress treatment development.
"People have realized individuals who have been through medical or psychological traumas benefit from the re-development of self-confidence," Newhouse said. "These athletic endeavors and training programs are working toward the same principal: One of the best ways to help people recover a sense of confidence is to help them recover a sense of competence."
That was certainly the case for Clemens, who took his newfound athleticism from a recreational activity to a competitive career in a relatively short amount of time. His story might be the meteoric exception as opposed to the weekend-warrior rule, but his attitude about serving his country is one shared by many of his injured comrades, he said.
"I've worn a combative uniform, now I get to wear a track uniform," Clemens said. "This gives me the opportunity to serve my country in another way and continue to support the U.S. with my patriotism."

Vote for Carroll
I know Brendan Carroll to be an honest and ethical person. I worked with him for several years. Brendan was our go-to guy. No matter what problem was facing us in the workplace, we could ask him about it and he would take it upon himself to fix it.
His job description should have just said, "all."
He is generous of time and spirit when it comes to helping family, friends or strangers. When Brendan helps you, he doesn't expect a favor in return.
Having him in Denton's City Council would be reassuring to me. I know he would have the best interests of the people of Denton at the center of his commitment.
Go vote for him.

The Denton Record-Chronicle welcomes letters to the editor

Date: Feb-25-2017 for a stay in Feb 2017
Had a great stay with the family. Very convenient, you can ski right to the door. The only down side is if you want to get into whistler itself, it is a 25 minute walk, but there is a regular free bus that drops you about 100m from the house. Hot tub after a hard day's skiing was a welcome bonus. The kitchen was very well equipped, the only things missing that we could have done with is some scales. This is our 4th time in Whistler and would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

We really enjoyed our stay. The townhouse had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and suited our family of 4 really well. Loved having a hot tub on the deck and the convenience to the ski hill (4 minute walk max). Kids loved all the pre-recorded movies too. Would definitely go back!

Stayed here in Dec16 with my son. Perfect for two, and easily fits 4/5 with bunks. Kitchen had everything we needed for breakfasts. We are used to staying in Benchlands so we used the bus route as usual to get to/from village, but we skied in a couple times and skied out one morning. Nice and close to Chateau for apres! Will definitely try and book again if available.

We really appreciated the ski in / ski out location and its only a short walk down to the Chateau Whistler for après, a nice meal, or a nightcap. The hot tub on the deck was lovely, very relaxing at the end of the ski day. Having a wood burning fireplace was a real treat (firewood was provided). Jason, the property manager, was great and very responsive.

In the last two weeks, the Boston Red Sox starting rotation seems to have dug themselves out of the mud they were entrenched in the beginning of this season. Lester has won his last two decisions including the first complete game of the year for the staff, Beckett has gone at least seven innings in his last two starts surrendering only one earned run since being tee'd up for 7 runs against the Indians on May 10th, Doubront continues to be the unusual surprise of this staff sporting a solid 4-1 record and 4.09 ERA in 8 starts, averaging a strikeout an inning (44 SO, 44.0 IP), Daniel Bard has shown flashes of promise as an eventual top end rotation guy, but will continue to be a project that the Sox Coaching staff works upon, and last (pun intended) but not least, there's Clay Buccholz.
It was Clay that started this rotations return to relativity when he went 6 and 1/3 innings giving up only 3 earned runs en route to a 7-5 Sox victory over the Indians on May 11th. Although he was slated with a loss his following start against the Rays, Buchholz gave up only two earned runs in 5 innings of work. He had only threw 87 pitches in that start, but Bobby V pulled the plug early after watching him take a line drive to the foot in the top of the 6th inning. As two steps were taken forward by the wiry Buchholz, one step was taken back last night when he gave up 5 earned runs for the 7th time in 9 starts this year taking a no decision in Boston' s 8-6 victory over the first place Baltimore Orioles. To say he has been anything less than a loose cannon or a statistical oddity would be an extreme understatement. The only reason he has managed his four wins on the season is due to the 8.88 runs/game his offense puts up in his starts, leading all starters in the majors. His abysmal 7.84 ERA is also leading the league and starting to resemble the Energizer bunny's famous phrase… "Just keeps going and going and going…" anywhere but down. As much promise as he has shown early in his career, the organization needs to make a decision regarding what the appropriate course of action would be regarding one of their coveted arms in this young staff. The luck they have had salvaging his poor performances with an onslaught of hitting is not one that is going to be able to withstand the 162 game season. Whether it's him being afraid of hurting his back that limited him to only 9 starts a season ago, or he is lying and is still feeling some ill effects from that nagging back I am not sure of. I don't even think Web MD can diagnose this situation. Prior to the beginning of the 2011 season, He had added some much needed weight to his wiry frame, but then made comments while being injured saying that he felt that his body was not built to support the extra muscle he had put on. I strongly disagree with that statement because in order for his 6'3 190 lb frame to withstand the 200 IP and 35 or so starts that are demanded from a number three starter that extra muscle would help him become more durable, but I will be the first to say that an expertise in sports medicine is not something I claim to have. His velocity has dropped severely in his fastball as he now tops out at the occasional 93mph but averages 90-92 on his cutter and four seamer. His breaking ball has seemed to level off more since recovering from his injury whereas before he had a nasty bite that buckled hitter's knees relentlessly. Being able to pitch with runners on base has been another severe problem of his. The minute the opposing team reaches the base paths his demeanor takes a 360 degree turn for the worse. Any sense of focus and control he has is immediately gone which his emotions quickly reveal to the opposing batter leaving him at an extreme disadvantage to the enemies. Once they smell his frustration, teams become patient with their approach at the plate forcing Buchholz to beat them with quality pitches. Watching him fall off the map so hard and so fast continues to be very puzzling. There is no question that September 1, 2007 will be one of the most memorable parts of Clay Buccholz's legacy in a Red Sox uniform when he threw a no hitter in only his second major league start. Five years later, that same pitcher that set the bar so high for himself continues to struggle through what has been a rough past two years. Getting back to being that dominant hurler is the goal at hand for Buchholz going forward, but you have to crawl before you can walk. This will continue to be a process that is grueling for all parties involved until he can become what he once was. In the end, the Sox need to find a happy medium in trying to help one of their more talented young players shape back into form without sacrificing the betterment of the team's performance. Easier said than done.

sr34 intr
(By Senators Bowman, Boley, Foster, Deem, Hall, White, K. Facemyer, Wells, Laird, Caruth, Williams, Sypolt, Snyder, Jenkins, Stollings, Plymale, McCabe and Green)
Requesting the United States Congress enact the Education Begins at Home Act.
Whereas, West Virginia faces serious challenges regarding the well-being of our children, including one of the nation's highest rates of child abuse and neglect; and
Whereas, In-Home Family Education programs help address these challenges by providing voluntary parenting education and support to vulnerable families with very young children through home visits and helping parents understand their role as their child's first and most important teacher; and
Whereas, In-Home Family Education programs provide information and support in such areas as prenatal care, child health, early learning and literacy, and child development and behavior; and
Whereas, Research indicates that a comprehensive statewide system of In-Home Family Education in West Virginia could save $250 million per year by reducing the number of low birth weight babies, increasing immunization rates and reducing child maltreatment; and
Whereas, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stated that "Up to forty percent of all child maltreatment could be prevented if home visiting was widely available" and the National Conference of State Legislatures has concluded that nationally "the predominant and most thoroughly researched child abuse prevention strategy is early childhood home visitation"; and
Whereas, On June 18, 2008, the Education and Labor Committee of the U. S. House of Representatives recommended passage of the bipartisan Education Begins at Home Act that would authorize $400 million over three years in grants from the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services to states for voluntary early childhood home visiting programs; and
Whereas, The Education Begins at Home Act, with bipartisan support, is being sponsored by Senator Kit Bond (R-MO), Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) and 32 members of the U. S. Senate, as well as 67 members of the U. S. House of Representatives; and
Whereas, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden also cosponsored the Education Begins at Home Act as U. S. Senators and have pledged to expand home visiting services to assist approximately 570,000 first-time mothers each year; and
Whereas, In-Home Family Education programs are currently serving families in only 22 West Virginia counties and many more families could benefit greatly from these services; and
Whereas, Statewide expansion of these effective programs will be enhanced and expedited with the support of federal funding through passage of the Education Begins at Home Act; and
Whereas, Expansion of these programs has been endorsed by leading state and national organizations, including, but not limited to, the American Academy of Pediatrics, Imagine West Virginia, Prevent Child Abuse America, TEAM for West Virginia Children, Voices for America's Children and the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate hereby requests the United States Congress to enact the Education Begins at Home Act; and, be it
Further Resolved,
That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to members of West Virginia's congressional delegation, the Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives, the Majority Leader and Minority Leader of the U. S. House of Representatives, the Majority Leader and Minority Leader of the U. S. Senate and President Barack Obama.

It was 3-5 feet in New Smyrna Beach yesterday.

It was 3-5 feet in New Smyrna Beach yesterday.
Kyle, don't mean any disrespect, but anything south of Stuart doesn't hardly get any swell, if it does it has to be a pretty decent ground swell or your going to surf a little wind dribble, its been pretty good up my way, I think this swell was a little over forecasted but not by much, there is a system going over us right now that might end up being tropical in nature by the time its over with, I started a thread on it last week. Tropical season is almost upon us, just hope nobody gets a direct hit this year.
No disrespect taken, but I'm gonna have to disagree with you on no swell south of Stuart, swell gets down here plenty. However, after looking at more charts of the sea bottom and historical data....
It is the ENE direction that killed it. It's coming in around the 53,54 degree mark, far too easternly to filter down. But Surfdog, anything NE i.e. north of the 50 degree mark def filters down here.
However, still haven't answered my original question....Why was there such an overcall for the area by all 3 sites? Are all 3 algorithms missing something to compensate for the angle of the swell or the Grand Bahama shadow? I'm just curious, still trying to figure out FL beach breaks.
Hell Yes! Forecast is looking nice for this weekend. On it in the morning @ Jensen.
I never thought I would type this. Port St Lucie was on fire all day!!!. Jensen Pumping!!!! Heard Stuart rocks was well over head this morning. Great Day!!!!!

"Densho: The Japanese American Legacy Project," led by Executive Director Tom Ikeda, is the recipient of the Philip M. Hamer–Elizabeth Hamer Kegan Award. The award recognizes individuals or institutions that have increased public awareness of archives documents.
The Award Committee noted that Densho's mission, to preserve the testimonies of Japanese Americans who were unjustly incarcerated during World War II, is realized in "rich and wonderful detail" on the Densho website. In addition to more than fourteen hundred hours of video testimonies, Densho created a digital archive of more than ten thousand historical images documenting Japanese American history. Further, the project includes multidisciplinary lesson plans that are made available for elementary through undergraduate students, as well as workshops that educate teachers in the use of these primary resources.
The committee expressed high regard for the "invaluable firsthand accounts of the Japanese American experience [that] document a dark period in our nation's history that deserves to receive the thorough, compelling examination that Densho provides."
The Hamer-Kegan Award was established in 1973 and is named for two SAA Fellows and former presidents.

HYDE PARK, NEW YORK, Friday—Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Morgenthau and I went to see an exhibition of water colors and oil paintings by Olin Dows. I have known Olin Dows since he was a young boy and have watched every stage of his painting. Much of this work is the result of four years spent abroad last year, the greater part of the time in North Africa. He has certainly made great strides in his work.
Some landscapes were painted in West Virginia and looked so peaceful and picturesque that I wished I did not know so well what lay beneath those hills. The scenery is glorious in West Virginia, but to me there will always be a certain grimness in any of its landscapes, for I know too well the human suffering brought on by the coal beneath the surface.
Many people are thankful for this coal and it has meant much in the development of the country. Many of us, however, have been oblivious to the human conditions which existed in many of the coal fields. We have remained oblivious to the suffering which became more acute in certain sections when the coal deposits ran out or were not profitable to mine. We accept so much of the work that comes to us as a matter of course, without any question as to what may lie in the background.
If one could just look at these landscapes as paintings, they would probably be a joy to live with, but I came to the conclusion that if I had my choice, it would be the painting of a water carrier. It is utterly foreign, in soft shades of blue, and satisfies one's esthetic sense. The interesting face of the water carrier sets one dreaming of the difference between the races.
At this exhibit, Mr. Robert Gates showed me some of his water colors, also done in West Virginia. He is undoubtedly one of the coming painters of the more impressionistic type. I would like to give one of his paintings, which depicts the grimness of the coal fields, to some locality that has never had any touch with this side of life, but for myself, I could not live with it.
From there, we went to the Gallery of Modern Art, where a very nice exhibition of water colors were being shown, many of them by well-known painters. I would like to have one water scene and am still debating whether I have the right to spend my money that way just now.
The Interdepartmental Reception last night was the one [unclear term marked] attended by all the Departments which do not have special receptions of their own. More members of the Cabinet are present than at any other reception. We have only two more state functions and, as a consequence, many requests are being made for extra invitations. Unfortunately it is impossible to invite more than the regular quota, because when there is too much of a crowd the guests cannot enjoy themselves.
I left on the midnight train for Hyde Park, where some of my children are spending a few days at my cottage.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as gemcitabine use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. 3-AP may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth and may help gemcitabine kill more cancer cells by making them more sensitive to the drug.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining gemcitabine with 3-AP in treating patients who have metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Lung Cancer |
Drug: gemcitabine hydrochloride Drug: triapine |

This short film is a meditation on beauty in the natural world.
The film was shot entirely on location at Gospel Rock, in Gibsons, B.C., Canada.
The film maker, Sarama, made the film to share his feeling for the sacredness of life in the natural world, of which humanity is an indivisible part.
Gospel Rock is under threat from a plan that would construct over 1,100 units of housing there, including a large portion of the fragile eco-system along the waterfront. This unique and precious living place would be downgraded to a mere sick remnant of what it was, if the plan goes ahead.
On October 11, 2012, Gibsons' Town Council, will be holding a public hearing on the Official Community Plan for Gospel Rock. After this date, the Gibsons' Council will not hear any further input into the plan.
If you enjoyed the film, please take some time to either to come out to the Public Hearing, or if you are not here, please contact the Town of Gibsons' council to make your voice heard. The contact information for the town, and for "Friends of Gospel Rock" is in the credits at the end of the film.
The plants, animals, birds, fish, and other abundant sea life of Gospel Rock need us to speak for them.
Please help.
Thank you, Sarama,

Keeping up with world events has never been easier than it is today. As traditional media gives way to new media, people consume these new mediums through a variety of mobile devices. These constant companions are always on, always connected, and always keeping users informed and engaged in a wide variety of activities — from the mundane to the entertained.
If President Obama gets his way, the American citizenry will also be able to use these increasingly ubiquitous devices to access all of the services available from our government. With hundreds of agencies that fall under the executive branch of the federal government, there are a myriad a different methods by which citizens engage with them. While variety can sometimes be the spice of life, in this instance, it can create confusion, as there's no consistency from agency to agency with regard to processes and communication. Constituents are left to figure it out for each individual agency.
Further, many critical services aren't even available online in many agencies, let alone being optimized to work with mobile devices. That's why the Obama administration charged the federal CIO with "developing a comprehensive Government-wide strategy to build a 21st century digital Government that delivers better digital services to the American people." To this end, a report entitled "Digital Government: Building a 21st Century Platform to Better Serve the American People" was recently released, and it outlines in detail the steps that agencies must take in order to realize the desired outcomes.
There are clear goals in the plan with regard to mobility. In fact, the first objective reads, "Enable the American people and an increasingly mobile workforce to access high-quality digital government information and services anywhere, anytime, on any device." I don't think it can get much clearer that one of the primary goals around Digital Government is to enable mobile-based services so that users can engage government from their trusty digital sidekicks.The document goes on to explain the principles by which Digital Government should operate. For example, one of the principles indicates that government information should be information-centric. So, rather than constantly managing and reimagining the context of a specific document, focus on the discrete content. This content can then be tagged and presented in a way that makes sense based on a variety of contexts. This step requires agencies to take a much more metadata-driven approach to their information, but in the long run, it will enable much more flexible use of that data in ways that aren't dependent on the access method — web or mobile.
Currently, there are agencies that offer mobile-enhanced capabilities, but this is often accomplished through the deployment of a separate presence that needs to be built and maintained. With a metadata-driven, information-centric approach, it's possible to decouple information from presentation in a way that streamlines the deployment of new services. The Digital Government document refers to this as a "create once, publish everywhere" approach.
By "freeing" certain government data, it makes it possible for citizens to develop applications that can be used by the rest of the populace. An example used in the Digital Government documentation really brings this to light and shows how this overall initiative dovetails perfectly with the need to provide enhanced support for mobile devices.
"The City of San Francisco releases its raw public transportation data on train routes, schedules, and to-the-minute location updates directly to the public through web services. This has enabled citizen developers to write over 10 different mobile applications to help the public navigate San Francisco's public transit systems — more services than the city could provide if it focused on presentation development rather than opening the data publicly through web services."
This is just one data set. Now, imagine the possibilities if this was taken to the federal level.
Obviously, there are additional operational tenets under which Digital Government is to operate, including the use of a shared platform in order to decrease costs, accelerate deployment, and improve consistency. Further, Digital Government calls for a customer-centric experience, which makes sense given the mission of the overall initiative. Finally, there needs to be a focus on security and privacy. One can imagine the chaos that would ensue should a shared government platform be comprised in any significant way.
Digital Government isn't necessarily a new idea, but with the need to do more with less, the government faces having to provide services to constituents without increasing staff but with shrinking budgets. At the same time, more citizens are carrying around powerful computers that are always on and always available. There's certainly an opportunity to reduce the cost of government access while making such access more routine and friendlier.

PLANES: FIRE & RESCUE is an upcoming 3D computer-animated sports comedy film produced by DisneyToon Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the sequel to 2013's critically lukewarm Planes.
Directed by Bobs Gannaway (Secret of the Wings), the film features a quirky crew of elite firefighting aircraft devoted to protecting historic Piston Peak National Park from a raging wildfire. When world famous air racer Dusty (voiced by Dane Cook) learns that his engine is damaged and he may never race again, he must shift gears and is launched into the world of wildfire air attack. Dusty joins forces with veteran fire and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger and his courageous air attack team, including spirited super scooper Lil' Dipper (voiced by Julie Bowen), heavy-lift helicopter Windlifter, ex-military transport Cabbie and a lively bunch of brave all-terrain vehicles known as The Smokejumpers. Together, the fearless team battles a massive wildfire, and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero.

Nowadays, civilized society recognizes that "domestic violenceâ€-- in this case, between 2 male relatives-- is anything but a private matter. Very much against the law, it is a serious (and costly, in more ways than one) public health and safety concern. It is a public matter, just like any other form of criminal violence... and in this case, the attacker, armed with a shovel and deemed to be potentially dangerous, was thought to still be in the area. It was very reasonable to alert people.

How much energy is in a single gummy bear?
We experience exothermic reactions regularly. Some are more visual than others, like flames or fireworks, while others are hidden away in our own bodies, namely respiration. When we eat food, we are rewarded with energy that we can use immediately or save for later. Gummy bears are a sweat snack and just one serving of gummy bears (one serving is about 11 gummy bears) can power you 5 minutes of jump roping or 15 minutes running up stairs. Imagine if all of this energy was released in an explosion right before your eyes! Well, your imagination is about to become reality because gummy bear explosions have become very popular on the internet. By adding sodium chlorate to gummy bears and other sugary treats, we are able to see a flare of energy.
Creative Applications
- Is making ice cubes exothermic or endothermic?
- How is our body able to extract foods' exothermic energy and put it to use?
- When a chemical bond is broken, is energy released or stored?

Looks like your mom was wrong
According to author Van Clayton Powel, you are not what you eat, rather how.
Powel will be in Victoria this week to discuss the theory behind his book You Are NOT What You Eat: How Digestive Problems Might be Making You Sick at both the Emily Carr and Central branches of the Victoria Public Library.
It is impossible to be healthy without proper digestion – no matter how nutritious your diet, says Powel.
According to his research, many of us are not digesting very well.
"Looking at what you eat and good nutrition is only half the equation," says Powel.
He says we also need to follow eating habits that enable the body to absorb and utilize nutrients properly.
The Whistler-based author is a former nurse who specialized in addictions treatment and emergency psychiatric assessments.
He also spent years in Asia training in traditional medical systems, martial arts, yoga and meditation.
Inspired by his own battle with chronic digestive problems, Powel was surprised to find the solution not in what he ate, but in how he ate – an approach used successfully in Asia for thousands of years, yet fits in perfectly with the latest medical science.
"We keep blaming foods for our digestive problems, wheat, dairy, gluten, meat, etc.," says Powel. "I'm convinced a huge part of the equation is not the food, but our damaged and ineffective digestive systems. In my case, my digestive problems were so bad I thought I was going to have to survive on a diet of white rice and a few steamed vegetables for the rest of my life. Today I can eat anything I want without a problem, and all my symptoms have disappeared."
This program will be presented at the Emily Carr branch on Thursday, Jan. 24, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and at the Central branch on Saturday, Jan. 26, from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
To learn more from Van Clayton Powel, go to YouAreNOTWhatYouEat.com.

A spicy spin on the classic side dish. Any leftovers make an excellent omelet filling when paired with turkey and Monterey Jack cheese.
Leave a Review
I have been making a variation of this for years so was good to see this here. I use just the water or broth used to par boil the lima beans, then add froz or fresh sweet corn kernels, then add fresh roasated or canned chiles (whatever variety you like or have on hand), minced garlic, green onions, a little cumin if you like that flavor, S&P, cilantro and grated cheese (again...crumbled queso mexican, cheddar,whatever you have) and pop in the oven to bring it all together and warm through while the rest of the meal is being prepared. Can skip the cream or add a few TBS for creamy consistency but the cheese will do it too. Yummmmm
I only tried this because I had an antique bag of edamame that I found in the freezer & a big group of family to feed unexpectedly & I had all the other ingredients so it seemed perfect! WOW I'm so glad I made this, it's delicious. I've made it over and over. I like it with the lima beans for a creamier result but still use the edamame when I can't get limas. It's perfect in the summer with fresh corn too. People go crazy over it! It is great as a base for grilled fish for a dinner and works as well for 4th of July & other casual entertaining.
interesting flavors, however, as many have said: way too much liquid. It surprises me that Bon Appetit printed a recipe with such a flaw, as they're usually so good.
First made this dish for a succotash lover in 2001, and have made it every year since. It's become a new tradition for me and people ask and remember it now. Just don't use and much broth (mayber 1/2 a can), and skip the cream altogether--you don't need it and it only makes the finished dish look muddy.
This recipe is fabulous. I took the advice of other reviewers and cut back on the broth and cream. I halved this recipe for two of us and actually used one cup of water, two bouillon cubes, and a third cup if fat free half and half. We had this with the Enchilda Casserole recipe from allrecipes.com and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Only problem was the liquid -- too much. But this was fantastic! And I made it a day and a half in advance before serving for Thanksgiving. My husband loved it and that's saying a lot. I put in less cream than called for, next time I'll put in less broth as well.
This is the second time I am preparing this dish for Thanksgiving
lima beans, yuch ! but everyone loves these. i get requests for it for every family gathering. i an now making it for friends who have requested it.
I made this for a Southwestern theme dinner. I followed the suggestions of others to cut the amount of liquid - I used 1/2 cup cream and 8 ounces water, skipping the chicken broth because I wanted to make a dish that would serve as a main dish for vegetarians and a side dish for meat-eaters.
This is an excellent vegetable dish. Even people who don't ordinarily eat lima beans raved about it.
