Twins recall right-hander Deduno for start vs. Tigers
By Rhett Bollinger / MLB.com
DETROIT -- The Twins officially recalled right-hander Samuel Deduno from Triple-A Rochester before his start against the Tigers on Friday night.
The Twins already had a 25-man roster spot open after optioning right-hander Vance Worley following his outing against the Braves on Wednesday. To make room for Deduno on the 40-man roster, the Twins transferred reliever Tim Wood to the 60-day disabled list.
Deduno, who was slated to start for Rochester on Tuesday, threw a bullpen session instead to get ready for his first start of the year with the Twins.
Deduno, 29, made 15 starts for the Twins last year, posting a 4.44 ERA with 57 strikeouts and 53 walks in 79 innings. He faced the Tigers twice, giving up three runs over seven innings at Target Field on Aug. 13, and surrendering seven runs on seven hits over 2 1/3 innings at Comerica Park on Sept. 22.
Deduno was expected to make the club's rotation to start the season after starring for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, but he suffered a groin strain in the championship game and began the season injured. He returned to action on May 5 and posted a 2.70 ERA in three starts with Rochester, with 17 strikeouts and 10 walks over 16 2/3 innings.
"He's faced them before," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He's come back from a long road after getting hurt in the World [Baseball Classic]. He's excited. So he just has to go out there and show off his stuff. He's got the pitches."
Plouffe passes concussion test Thursday
DETROIT -- Third baseman Trevor Plouffe, who was placed on the 7-day disabled list with concussion-like symptoms on Wednesday, passed his ImPACT concussion test on Thursday.
Plouffe sustained the injury when he was kneed in the back of his head by Dan Uggla while sliding into second base in Tuesday night's game in Atlanta. He showed signs of a concussion with sensitivity to light and wooziness after the blow to the head, and he was placed on the 7-day DL for precautionary reasons the next day.
But he was able to pass his ImPACT test on Thursday and received clearance to participate in baseball activities before Friday's game. He was able to run around and took ground balls without any issues.
"I feel good," Plouffe said. "I did more cardio today than I'll probably do for the rest of the year. Now it's just working my back and making sure I don't have any setbacks."
It was a major relief for the Twins, as Justin Morneau was injured on a similar play in July 2010, and missed the rest of the season with a concussion that continued to plague him in '11. Former Twins center fielder Denard Span also suffered a concussion in a home-plate collision during the '11 season and was out for two months.
"It's huge," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said. "He took a pretty good hit to the head. But yesterday, he was on the bench with all the noise and lights and didn't have any problems, which was a good sign. And for him to get through everything today is a good sign, especially after what we've gone through with a couple of our players the last few years."
Plouffe, who is eligible to return on Wednesday once the Twins return home from their nine-game road trip, still needs to be cleared by Major League Baseball before he returns, according to Antony.
Precaution keeps Florimon out of lineup
DETROIT -- Shortstop Pedro Florimon, who left Thursday's game with a sprained right index finger, was held out of the lineup for precautionary reasons against the Tigers on Friday.
Florimon, who injured his finger while sliding into third base in the second inning of the Twins' 7-6 loss, came in feeling better on Friday, but Eduardo Escobar made the start at shortstop in his place.
"He had a little bit of swelling but he was throwing last night," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said. "He basically just jammed it, which caused a little bit of swelling. We did X-rays and they were negative. So he should be fine."
Florimon told Twins manager Ron Gardenhire he was healthy enough to play, but Gardenhire wanted to play it safe with Florimon, who was able to take batting practice without any issues before the game.
"He'll be available off the bench," Gardenhire said said. "I'm just happy he came in here saying he feels good and is ready to go."
Walters to get called up and start Saturday
DETROIT -- Right-hander P.J. Walters will be recalled from Triple-A Rochester before Saturday's game to make his first start of the season against the Tigers.
The Twins will wait until Saturday to make the move official, but they did clear room for him on the 25-man roster by optioning outfielder Oswaldo Arcia to Rochester after Friday's 6-0 loss. But they still need to make a 40-man roster move to make room for Walters on Saturday.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said it was a difficult decision to send down Arcia, who is ranked as the Twins' No. 5 prospect and No. 93 overall, according to MLB.com. Arcia hit .255 with four homers and 14 RBIs in 30 games with the Twins but ended in a 3-for-32 slide before his demotion.
"It was really hard, but we had very little options with our infield situation," Gardenhire said. "But I like his fire, the way he goes about it and I like him around the clubhouse. But unfortunately he's in a little bit of stretch here where he's chasing. So this can help him."
Kevin Correia, who was slated to start on Saturday, will now be pushed back to Monday against the Brewers with Mike Pelfrey remaining on normal rest to start on Sunday against the Tigers.
"We haven't made any official announcements, but we have a TBA tomorrow, so it's safe to say he'll be our starter," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said before Friday's game. "But we'll make a corresponding move and announce that tomorrow before the game."
Walters, 28, fared well in nine starts with Rochester, posting a 3.31 ERA with 46 strikeouts and 16 walks in 54 1/3 innings. Walters, who had a 5.69 ERA in 12 starts with the Twins last year, also turned in six straight quality starts to earn the promotion.
He was picked over Twins prospect Kyle Gibson, who also pitched well in nine starts with Rochester with a 3.25 ERA and 46 strikeouts and 14 walks in 52 2/3 innings. But Gibson, who has thrown shutouts in two of his last three outings, has yet to record back-to-back quality starts this season.
Antony said he understands the frustration from fans about the Twins keeping Gibson in the Minors, but he said the club needs to see more consistency from him before they declare him ready to make his big league debut. Gibson is ranked as the Twin's No. 4 prospect and No. 49 overall.
"It's understandable because we want to see him, too," Antony said. "We're talking about a guy we're hoping will be part of our rotation for years to come. So we want to do it right and bring him up when the time is right when he's going good, so that it gives him the best chance to succeed."

HTC Sensation 4G Review
0. phoneArena posted on 07 Jun 2011, 07:50
Call them reserved or relaxed, but HTC is officially in the game within the US market where smartphones like the Motorola ATRIX 4G and T-Mobile G2x have stood atop the ladder. Thankfully though, the HTC Sensation 4G is aiming to arrive stateside through T-Mobile starting June 15th, where it plans to usher in the next generation of HTC devices this year with a banging start. Naturally, there is a lot to like about this sensational handset...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

Okay I giv up, how does the htc beat the SGS II, I'm not following phonearena if their reviews are biased
11. yeahone (unregistered)
actually it doesn't SGS2 beats htc sensation in terms of everything. And HTC sensation even have 'death grip'!
12. INformant (unregistered)
DEATH GRIP MORONS!!!! Their is not death grip with the sensation if you watch the video he holds it in a way that is rediculous, you can do the same thing with a G2 and even some of the evo variants....and it did not even affect calls it was a wifi thing....no death grip just a jealous Ifanboy
16. medalaster1 (unregistered)
Not only sgs2 even the optimus 2x is more superior than the sensation i would say this is a biased review the phonearena is all about htc and apple
2. cyborg (unregistered)
It's funny how the cons of the Sensation have been addressed by SGS2 in a review last month and yet both have the same score. Oh, well phonearena.
3. cyborg (unregistered)
Hands down to PA for not mentioning iphone at the end of this review. Good job. That wasn't so difficult was it?
4. lazarus101 (unregistered)
Sense UI and a better build quality and screen resolution have compensated these cons.
7. Dark4o90 (Posts: 205; Member since: 20 Feb 2011)
except for the battery life one day is not acceptable
5. Jeff (unregistered)
This 5 page review left out 1 important detail, how does it perform as a phone???
I have been hearing about death grip issues, and I want to know about reception and call quality, after all, this is still a PHONE!
8. lazarus101 (unregistered)
In-call quality on the HTC Sensation is very good indeed. With the length and shape of the phone, it feels comfortable and the speaker sits well against the ear, with sound emitted from it being clear and audible. When speaking on the device, the receiver on the other end reported clear, crisp audio quality and signal strength was average to good when compared with other handsets.

it does effect calls cause i have the sensation and i have to barely hold the phone at the bottom to get wi-fi calling cause my work has no reception
last i checked, wi-fi calling is still calling thus it effects calling

Why cant your reviews include some benchmarks of WiFi speed vs range ?
9. 1harim (Posts: 1; Member since: 08 Jun 2011)
Apple fans are under pressure :)
10. tombaker (unregistered)
The viewing angles on this phone are terrible, this must be a standard TN LCD, fast, high res, and poor off angle viewing. I will never use a TN monitor if given the choice.
Why bother, with so many AMOLED and IPS options to be had. I wish they did more analysis of how strong reception is between phones
14. Julian (unregistered)
I purchased my Sensation yesterday and have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. With the exception of the battery not being the best, and the screen's viewing angle, everything else seems to work great. I love the way it feels in your hand. You feel like you bought a expensive phone, not a cheap piece of plastic. I used to have the Atrix, which is a great phone, but between the Motoblur and the occasional "glitch", I thought I try a change and I'm happy I did.
There are plenty of choices out there, just got to find the one that meets YOUR needs.
15. toolie (unregistered)
I just bought the Sensation and so far love it. The only bad thing that I have noticed is the external speaker is horrible! Call quality is good and I got over 12 hours of battery life yesterday, which is great for a smart phone...at least for me. Keep in mind battery life fluctuates with usuage and heavy usage will have lower battery life. I just didn't want everyone to think 12 hours was an everyday occurrence. I used to have to charge my Galaxy S two times within an 8 hour period and call quality was horrible. So far no death grip issues either. This phone far outshines my last one, Samsung, and I have no regets. UI is also great. First HTC phone and have to say I am impressed with this smooth running phone with excellent speed.

stop saying "just because," goddammit!
18. gain1998 (Posts: 11; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
I find this phone pleasing to look at, I also find it to have many nice features and it really is a great phone. I don't understand why people would care about viewing angles, then again that's probably just me. Battery life isn't that much of a big deal for me (unless you're dead in between the hours of 7 to 2, then we have an issue). Basically it's a great phone, I'd get it but I want to hop on the Blackberry train, I know I must sound so idiotic for preferring a BB over an Android, but I want to have a firsthand experience.
20. Sean1337 (Posts: 1; Member since: 26 Sep 2011)
I have owned both the G2X and now the Sensation. G2X was fast for sure, it benchmarked very high, but at least 2 of the games I wanted to play on it wouldnt even open( they both work flawlessly on the sensation). The camera app was stock android and buggy, on one occasion the phone froze entirely after taking a picture requiring a battery pull to get the phone working again. The phone was blocky and felt awful against my ear. A 300 point advantage in quadrant does not make the g2x a better device than the sensation, which in my opinion is the finest handset on tmobile by a decent margin as of right now.
21. corleyman (Posts: 6; Member since: 26 Nov 2012)
Here it is a yr & a half later and I still love this phone. Lack of internal memory is OK b/c of my add-on 16-Gb microSD card. It does slow some when I need to clear program cache (easily done from settings), but otherwise the processor is fast & all works great! Especially the 4G. With WiFi off I'm getting 10 Gbps on the TMo HSPA network. But instead of TMo I enjoy unlimited talk/txt/data on a mobile network that pays me back! Check it at PenniesOverDollars.com

I found this wee fella scaling the wall in my kitchen a couple of weeks ago. I'm minded to think it's a false widow?
The place I live makes me dubious though. I'm 50 miles north of Inverness so have never heard of one so far north.
It's abdomen was about the size of a garden pea and the markings were slightly more white in colour than the photos suggest.
Any ideas would be appreciated as I'm far from an expert.
Looks of course can always be deceiving - this one example looking like Steatoda bipunctata.
I will have to get you clued up Lewis, I will make it my mission and I am working on a set of Steatoda snaps to aid diagnosis . Note the stripy looking legs and the median line, which starts of at the front of the abdomen quite sharply at least. On this example this line branches out into chevrons which is partly due to it being so well fed and expanded. Being found so far north also settles the id - but you can't rule it out.
Brilliant - there you go, bipunctata exactly what is says on the tin.
Thanks for enhancing the images Lewis.

Smoky Shitake Cranberry Cauliflower Galette with Marmalade-Mustard Mascarpone
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I love to bake galettes-and-tarts! What's not to love about an inviting savory or sweet tart beckoning companionship with you and a loved one? How about an airy puffed pastry holding a melting pot of savory and sweet ingredients? Well, I don't know about you but I just can't resist galettes and tarts! The challenge to bake with a late winter vegetable or fruit was such a playground of flavorful fun! In my research, I found that cauliflower is actually at it's flavor peak in late winter! I decided to couple cauliflower with dried cranberries, bacon and smoked paprika, and oh-my-gosh my taste buds were tantalized! I am a sucker for toppings so blending orange marmalade and mascarpone cheese with a touch of mustard was a must! Friends raved when they took a bite of my scrumptious galette while I smile! Variations: You can replace cranberries with raisins or even exchange sweet smoked paprika with curry! Feel free to apple or cranberry juice instead of wine! This is one dish that will call your name again and again! —Merry

- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix Mascarpone cheese, marmalade, and honey mustard. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- In a large frying pan, over medium-high, heat olive oil until warm, add shallots, mushrooms, sugar, and lemon pepper; saute and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add cranberries, paprika, vinegar, stir and cook for 2 more minutes. Add Riesling and steamed cauliflower; stir and cook for 2 minutes or until wine has absorbed.
- Unfold pastry dough, in a 9" x 10" rectangle, on the center of the lined cookie sheet. Spoon the sauteed mixture on the center of dough, leaving about 1.5-inch outer edge. Sprinkle with bacon and cheese. Bake in oven 22-25 minutes or until puffed pastry is golden brown. Remove from oven; cool 5 minutes. Top with basil and serve with dollops of Marmalade-Mustard Mascarpone sprinkled with chives. This is a lovely dish served warm or at room temperature!

More than one year after Robin Williams' death, his daughter Zelda Williams is speaking out and providing hope to others grieving the loss of a loved one.
In an emotional Instagram posted Saturday afternoon, the 26-year-old shared a beautiful shot of a sunrise on a lake.
It's the story behind the image, however, that provides much deeper meaning.
"I spent this night shivering and laughing under a clear, cold sky full of stars with people I love just to witness something beautiful," she wrote in the caption. "We mooned the moon and laughed ourselves hoarse, and I'm so incredibly grateful for every silly second."
PHOTOS: Robin Williams' famous friends
It's innocent, summer fun that the actress has learned is necessary to carry on after a tragic loss. Robin Williams was found dead in his San Francisco Bay Area home on August 11, 2014, having hanged himself. He was 63.
"I came to a realization this year that I feel compelled to share here, for whomsoever may need it: Avoiding fear, sadness or anger is not the same thing as being happy. I live my sadness every day, but I don't resent it anymore," she explained. "Instead, I do it now so that the wonderful moments of joy I do find are not in order to forget, but to inhabit and enjoy for their own sake."
She continued, "It's not easy. In fact, I'd say it takes much more effort to consciously do than it does to just stay sad, but with all my heart, I cannot tell you how worth it it is."
PHOTOS: Celebs remember Robin Williams
Ever since their father's death, Zelda and her brothers have continued to cope with his loss in individual ways. Everyone has helped continue Robin's charity work with the Challenged Athletes Foundation and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital while Zelda also got a tattoo of a hummingbird in honor of her dad.
As for the reason why she's speaking out about grieving and mental health this weekend, it appears Zelda simply wants to share her story to prove life gets better.
"For those suffering from depression, I know how dark and endless that tunnel can feel, but if happiness seems impossible to find, please hold on to the possibility of hope, faint though it may be," she wrote. "Because I promise you, there's enough nights under the same yellow moon for all of us to share, no matter how or when you find your way there."

The perils of automating communications about workflows
By Jake Widman
Over the past couple of months, I've written two articles for The Big Picture about the promised benefits of automation to the printing workflow. The first was May/June's "CIMply Marvelous;" the second on "Computerizing Customer Relations" will appear in the July/August issue. Both articles touched on the idea that when automated communications--such as filling in online forms to request quotes and submit jobs, and reading automatically generated e-mail to track the progress of a job--take the place of phone calls and coffee-fueled meetings, errors will be reduced and efficiencies realized.
Sounds great. But coincidentally, during this same period, I've been participating in the printing workflow as a customer, and my experience has made me take the promises of automation with a heaping teaspoon of salt. Automated communication might be really helpful--but only if the communication that's automated is clear in the first place.
I wound up a printing customer because I agreed to help a friend get his novel packaged and printed. He'd been trying to get it published as long as I'd known him, with no success. But in recent years he'd been reading about short-run digital presses, and he asked me if I could take his manuscript and another friend's sponsorship and turn them into 100 copies of his book. So I searched for appropriate printers, got a couple of bids, and chose a place in Canada that seemed like they knew what they were doing. The rep (let's call him Howie) was accommodating and responsive, the price seemed right, and the sample book he sent me looked good.
I laid out the book in good old PageMaker, and Howie sent me directions for how to FTP my files to them. I packaged the PageMaker files, the fonts, and the graphics into a Stuffit file, as instructed, and sent them off.
So far so good. After a few weeks, we got back what Howie called the "sample copy" for review. My friend read it and asked for some changes on 12 of the pages. I revised the PageMaker files accordingly and asked Howie what to do next. At this point, Howie passed me off to a woman in the preflight department--let's call her Susan.

Many families traditionally recorded genealogies in their family Bible. These are a good source of information about immediate family members and relatives, including names of parents, children, their spouses, and their dates of birth, marriage, and death. For some families, Bible records may have the only recorded vital statistics information. Family Bibles that are no longer in possession of the family may be at a historical or genealogical society.
The best resource for Tennessee family Bible information is:
- Daughters of the American Revolution (Tennessee). Genealogy Bible Treasures: A Digital Photo Preservation and Index of Pre-depression Era Bible Records. Knoxville, Tenn.: Tennessee Valley Pub., 2009. FHL book 976.8 V2g and CD-ROM no. 6799. Read Dick Eastman's review.

The records are arranged alphabetically by family name, then given name. They contain birth, death, and marriage dates of immediate family members, and occasionally dates of servants, slaves, and others. They also include the years the records cover, the county where the Bible was found, and the owner's name and city.

Tennessee Tornadoes: Horse Owners Recovering
- Feb 19, 2008
- Topics:
The community of Williamson County, Tenn., is still reeling from the trio of tornadoes that ripped through Tennessee Feb. 5 and 6. The storms destroyed homes, demolished barns, and swept up horses in strong winds, according to resident Vivi Miller.
"It's chaos," said Miller of her community, which is just west of Nashville. "We had three storm cells that came through and of those two hit our area. During the storms barns were blown down with horses in them, and some horses were thrown out of their barns and into fields."
Among those was a Quarter Horse that was carried more than 100 feet, and a 30-year old pony mare tossed over her pasture fence and into an adjacent cattle pasture by strong winds.
Supplies, equipment, and feed--including hay, which was already in short supply--weren't spared, Miller said.
"Hay was blown everywhere or got wet," she said.
Just days after the storms rolled through Tennessee, Williamson and 12 other counties were designated Federal Disaster Areas. The designation qualifies commercial horse industry operators eligible for Small Business Administration loans, said Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesman Jay Eaker. But local agencies are taking the lead helping non-commercial horse owners recover.
"Hay is available through Tennessee Emergency Management Agency," said Melissa Riley, planning officer for the Wilson County Emergency Management Agency, and leader of that county's Disaster Animal Response Team. "We've been in Macon County locating foster homes for some donkeys that were displaced by the storm, and we're working to get feed and foster homes for horses that were (already) starving because of the lack of hay before the storm."
The private sector is stepping up, too, Miller said. Within a week after the storm, a private donor responded to Miller's Internet blog with equipment and medical supplies. Farm supply retailers are also pitching in, offering donors a chance to purchase gift cards for distribution to storm affected horse and other livestock owners.
"People need everything," said Miller, who is fostering a group of horses displaced by the storm. "It's probably going to take a year to recover completely."

[Intro: Luke Christopher]
Yeah, let me take ya'll back
I had the people saying na, na, na ,na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, yeah
Luke Christopher
[Verse 1]
I was born on noble back when niggas had to run away quick, see
Old folks never like when young ass kids be
Shooting hoops down by the drive-way
And if I hit the ball over the wall, I'd have to go and take the side way
I say, I say
I may have raised some hell at my schools
Fighting in lines and trying to stay cool
Like Urkel, on the wall like murals
In my hoodie and my air force one pair more
Though I was not a scholar, I could make the ladies holler
Started spittin' from the heart when they was spitting from the wallet
Talking 'bout how they forever kings, yeah right
Forever never long as it do seem, yeah right
I used to, tell stories at the park on the playground
And after dark if ever the cops would come we'd have to stay down
Told my nigga Adrian, shh they heard you lay down
I'mma hit the hill and flip the bird on the way down
See that was how we rolled, that was how we rolled
We were never hood but we had a lot of soul, so
Anytime I'm back at home doing a show yo
I have the mother fucker bouncing like a pogo
Yeah, so get your hands high
If you in the mood for a hell of a time
Call up the homies, get a bottle of wine
And I'll supply you with a hell of a rhyme like
Yeah, so get your hands high
If you in the mood for a hell of a time
Drive to the store get a bottle of wine
And I'll supply you with a hell of a rhyme like
[Verse 2]
I was wearing them off-white chucks with the floral printed pants
With only 15 bucks we took a cab to the dance
Hopped out with the baddest chicks in the room
Heard the teachers saying, "Man I'm glad they graduate soon," yes!
And on the nights where we were hurting for real
We'd drive through Beverly hills just to see how it feels
If the weather was cold, we would hit up a show
Tried to sneak into the back so I can spit them a flow
If we was late, we rode our bikes after the bus
We were the legends of the summer, there's a chapter for us
In a book somewhere, yeah somewhere pretty
In an old library in a forgotten city, man!
Life is the fastest
Ain't nobody tell you 'bout the life of a rapper
It's all, money and gold, cars and hoes
But diamonds don't shine in the dark
Ergo we sayin' this!
[Hook] x2
"Hell of a Rhyme" will be featured on Luke's upcoming project 'The Wonder Years,' due out in early August. The official music video (above) was directed by Dylan Walsh with cinematography assistance from Chris Braun.

Interesting developments from Fresno
It's not everyday you can title a blog post like that.
Even though Thursday was an off day for the Giants, there were some interesting developments.
First, outfielder John Bowker was optioned to Triple-A Fresno, leading to speculation that recent free-agent acquisition Pat Burrell would get called up to the big club.
Burrell played Thursday in Fresno, going for 0 for 2 with a walk before leaving the game in the sixth inning.
The thinking is that Burrell left the game to catch a plane to Pittsburgh, where the Giants open a seven-game road trip on Friday.
Also on Thursday in Fresno, Mark DeRosa played his first game for the Grizzlies in his rehab stint. He went 3 for 4 with a double and RBI. It was a far more encouraging outing that his game in San Jose, when his post-game comments sounded a lot like a guy who was headed to season-ending surgery.
Thursday's performance gives a little more credence to the idea of DeRosa trying to battle his way through his wrist problems and play out the season.
But the big question now is how does an active roster than includes Pat Burrell and Mark DeRosa — not to mention a healthy Edgar Renteria by mid-to-late June — find enough playing time for Juan Uribe and Buster Posey?
The word is that Burrell will be used off the bench, mostly as a pinch-hitter. We can expect DeRosa, with his health issues, to possibly fill the utility role that Uribe was expected to fill.
As it stands right now, the Giants' five bench players on the active roster are: C Eli Whiteside, 1B Travis Ishikawa, OF Nate Schierholtz, IF Matt Downs and (presumably) OF Pat Burrell.
If DeRosa eventually comes off the DL, we can expect Downs to head back to Fresno. If DeRosa stays healthy and Burrell is productive when Renteria comes off the DL, then what? Who goes down then? Ishikawa and Schierholtz are out of options. So that either leaves Whiteside or sending down a pitcher and carrying only 11 pitchers on the roster.
Something to think about.

I need to be able to add to same structures. For example

I need to be able to add to same structures. For example
How can I overload the + operator to do something like that?Code:CTest test1; CTest test2; test1 + test2;
> test1 + test2;
First off, this is totally invalid code. Consider:
a + b; //what is this supposed to do?
Do you mean:
test3 = test1 + test2;
Or perhaps:
test1 += test2;
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Come on, i thought you could understand. Of course I meant Test3 = test1 + test2;
So I'm supposed to assume that you meant "a = b + c" when all you list is "b + c", and this means that you really didn't mean "b = b + c"? Right? Why exactly? Because I'm a mind reader?Originally posted by Unregistered
Come on, i thought you could understand. Of course I meant Test3 = test1 + test2;
Do you know how to overload operators? Any C++ book should cover it. Basicly all you do is do the overloading in a nice little function that adds all the values of the two classes.
Keep in mind that you'll have to do all of the work correctly yourself when you write the function:
You'll have to make sure you add all of the values the way you want. Unlike me, your compiler is not a mind reader so you must EXACTLY specify the way you want each value added.Code:class Foo { int a; float b; String c; };
Get used to being specific now, or don't bother programming.
I suppose you want everything handed to you on a silver platter, but that's not how things are typically done in the Real World(TM).

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Ok, Im sorry, its very late here. Naw, I dont want everything given to me on a silver plate
However, thank you for the tutorial.
Depends on your class. What do you want added? What do you want done with other data? Give more data, and I will gladly help you.
Don't worry, I know what you meant. You do it like this:
Code:class Foo { Foo(); Foo(const Foo& rhs); .. .. Foo& operator =(const Foo& rhs); Foo operator +(const Foo& rhs); };
You can add all the operators you need, including ==, +=, -=, != etc.
Quzah is correct in that you must take care to ensure that these operators do exactly what you intend. For example, consider a class that has some data held in the heap, i.e. it holds a private pointer to that data.
If you were simply to copy the instance memory block in an assign (=) operation, you copied instance would simply hold a pointer to the same heap memory as the source instance. This typically were operators are important.
For example, consider an object which has void* pData, and an int pDataSize as private. I.e.
An assignment operator would be implemented as follows:Code:class Foo private: void* pData; int pData; ... ...
Note the use of const references in the parameters is an optimisation.Code:Foo& Foo:operator =(const Foo& rhs) { // Delete any current data delete[] pData; // Re-create data of new size pData = new char[rhs.pDataSize]; memcpy(pData, rhs.pData, rhs.pDataSize); pDataSize = rhs.pDataSize; return *this; }
I would suggest looking at method listing for the STL string class to get an idea of how to form common operators.
Edit : Finally got code tags to work!

green metallic
green metallic
It is very dark green. Looks almost black from distance. I test drove one.
Here is a link to some pics I took of a green MS in Menlo Park. We were not willing to finalize on the green color without seeing it, but are very comfortable going green now that we have seen it.
I got the Green Metallic Model S. I've had it about a month. I too had second thoughts about a month before expected delivery. Mainly because I only briefly saw one in person at the Get Amped Tour, and because it hasn't been a popular color for Tesla.
I really love the color, and I am glad I chose it. It's a very dark green that in fact sometimes looks black. I got it with the tan leather seats, and the lacewood dashboard accents.
I would make the same choice all over again.
I also went with the green metallic and like David M. am very happy with the color. It was a tough choice not being able to see the color on a car, but it is one that I would make again.
Since you are in San Diego I am happy to show you the car if you want to see one.
Looks like oxford or british racing green. First E39 M5 was a similar color. Practically the thing that made me order a MS:)
Those of you with the green, have any of you seen the blue and brown in person. I plan on eventually getting one of the three, but want to see them myself before making a choice.
David70. I have seen all three, the blue on several occasions, the brown and green on only one. In the link I posted above you can see the blue and green in the same picture and lighting. The brown looked nice, but not as elegant as the blue or green, or British Racing Green, as I also like to call it.
Thanks Shs.
I got the green metallic. I test drove one and thought it looked nice in the sun.
Now, I don't really like it that much. It looks a little more christmas-tree-green than I remembered.
I'm not exactly dissatisfied by my choice, I don't think it's a bad color at all, it's just perhaps not as interesting as I remembered. Maybe I'll change my tune when summer rolls around.
My one sort of dissapointment is that I still have never seen the brown in person. I was seriously considering that color as well, but having never seen it in person, I didn't feel like I could commit to it. It does look nice in pictures though.
I think all of the colors look good, and I had originally settled on the gray metallic, which I think looks great and I would have been happy with. The reason I chose green though is because I decided I should get something a little different than my usual style.
I was driving in downtown Bellevue on Saturday and saw another green Model S. We were both trying to stare at each other lol, but there were cars in the way.
I went for blue, but I always go for blue. Seeing the green in person did give me pause. I was impressed by that color.

Wish it would've worked...
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Well, the pictures looked cool... Bought this almost a year ago to replace the stereo in a car that I bought. Sold the car, and had the stereo sitting in the box until just a couple of days ago. Went to install it, got it all wired up and absolutely nothing but a red light over the CD slot. Other reviewers must have had better luck than I did, because mine was a total waste of money as it's not working and I bought it so long ago I'm sure I can't even return it.
Pros: Looks cool
Cons: Dead right out of the box

Detectives have found the gun they suspect was used to kill a woman in Florida and wound a man who has confessed to killing her.
Detectives have found the gun they suspect was used to kill a woman in Florida and wound a man who has confessed to killing her.
According to Henderson County, N.C., deputies, 23-year-old Ryan Doyle "apparently shot himself" in Spartanburg County and tossed the gun out of his truck's window as he fled through South Carolina to a relative's home in Kentucky.
Spartanburg and Henderson county deputies searched Highway 11 near Interstate 26 in Campobello for the gun and and a black sweatshirt worn by Doyle, according to an incident report from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office.
"The weapon was located early this morning by Spartanburg County authorities. Other articles of clothing Doyle stated he threw from the (driver's side) window of his truck have also been recovered," said Capt. Frank Stout, spokesman for the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
Detectives were called out to Park Ridge Health in Henderson County around 1:30 a.m. Monday to investigate a gunshot wound. There, investigators found Doyle who had walked into the emergency room for treatment. The man with the gunshot wound turned out to be a murder suspect on the run.
"After inconsistencies in Doyle's story, investigators were still able to determine that Mr. Doyle was in route from Orlando, Fla., to Kentucky. Henderson County investigators contacted Orlando authorities and presented them with information received from Mr. Doyle and were able to link him to an active homicide investigation there," Stout said.
"During Mr. Doyle's interview with investigators from the Henderson County Sheriff's Office, he confessed to the murder of Lora Fischer in Orlando. Mr. Doyle has cooperated with investigators in North Carolina and Spartanburg County, South Carolina, where Doyle apparently shot himself and discarded the weapon believed to be used in the homicide," Stout said.
It was not clear Tuesday whether Doyle intended to shoot himself or if it was an accident.
Doyle was booked into the Henderson County Detention Facility on a fugitive warrant from Florida. He is under no bond and awaiting extradition on the murder charge. Orlando authorities are in Henderson County now, and the investigation continues.

Franklin Covey Co. (NYSE:FC) stock is experiencing unusual volume during today's trading. While the stock price moved along with the volume change, shares are touching $30.45. The day's total volume of 211447 this morning is in contrast from the three-month daily average of 40.89K. When we divide the current volume by the three-month average volume, we get a relative volume of 5.17.
Trading volume is a hugely important consideration for any investor. By watching how many shares are trading hands and looking for any changes in that activity, trading opportunities can be spotted along with a deeper understanding of the reliability of other indicators on the stock. A significant increase in trading volume means that more than double the average amount of stocks are moving. When volume is decreased significantly, it may indicate there is an issue that shareholders should watch out for. It's also important to take into consideration how long the unusual volume sustains for. If it's only the one trading day, it can be dismissed as an anomaly.
Looking Back
Franklin Covey Co. (NYSE:FC)'s market cap, the total dollar value of all of their outstanding shares, is 367.53m.

American Samoa Gov't v. Leoso,
AMERICAN SAMOA GOVERNMENT, Plaintiff
ANTONIO MAOTA FOMAI LEOSO, Defendant
High Court of American Samoa
Trial Division
CR No. 26-93
December 29, 1993
[1] In deciding whether to issue a search warrant based on a confidential informant's information, a magistrate makes a practical, common-sense decision as to whether all the circumstances set forth in the supporting affidavit provide a substantial basis that probable cause exists.
[2] A finding of probable cause is to be given great deference on review, because of the strong constitutional preference that searches be authorized by warrants.
[3] In determining whether probable cause exists, for purposes of issuing a search warrant, a totality of circumstances test is used. A confidential informant's veracity and his basis of knowledge are weighed as two elements in the totality of circumstances analysis, but not as two independent tests which must be separately satisfied. A deficiency in one of these two elements may be compensated for by a strong showing as to the other, or by some other indicia of reliability.
[4] An otherwise insufficient statement by an informant can support the issuance of a search warrant if the police have corroborating evidence. Corroborating evidence is unnecessary if the informant's credibility and basis for knowledge are sufficient.
[5] In determining whether information is too stale to establish probable cause supporting the issuance of a search warrant, the court considers the nature of the criminal activity, the length of the activity, and the nature of the property to be seized.
Before RICHMOND, Associate Justice, TAUANU'U, Chief Associate Judge, and BETHAM, Associate Judge.
Counsel: For Plaintiff, Fainu'ulelei L.F. Ala'ilima-Utu, Assistant Attorney General
For Defendant, William H. Reardon
Order Denying Motion to Suppress Evidence:
On October 1, 1993, defendant filed his motion to suppress evidence obtained during the execution of a search warrant issued by the district [25ASR2d104] court judge on July 20, 1993. A hearing on this motion was held on November 15, 1993.
[1-2] In deciding whether to issue a search warrant based on a confidential informant's information, a magistrate makes "a practical, common-sense decision" whether all the circumstances set forth in the supporting affidavit provide a "substantial basis" that probable cause exists. Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 238-39, 76 L. Ed. 2d 527, 548 (1983); Massachusetts v. Upton, 466 U.S. 727, 732-33, 80 L. Ed. 2d 721, 727 (1984); American Samoa Gov't. v. Lam Yuen, 13 A.S.R.2d 49, 51 (Trial Div. 1989). A finding of probable cause is to be given "great deference" on review, because of the "strong preference" that, under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, police conduct searches pursuant to a warrant. Gates, 462 U.S. at 236, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 547; Upton, 466 U.S. at 733, 80 L. Ed. 2d at 727. The wording of the Fourth Amendment is repeated verbatim in the first sentence of Article I, section 5 of the Revised Constitution of American Samoa.
[3] In determining probable cause, a "totality of circumstances" approach is used. A confidential informant's "veracity" or "reliability" and his "basis of knowledge" are weighed as two elements in the "totality of circumstances" analysis but not as two independent tests which must be separately satisfied. As such, "a deficiency in one may be compensated for, in determining the overall reliability of a tip, by a strong showing as to the other, or by some other indicia of reliability." Gates, 462 U.S. at 233, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 545. Thus, information given by a highly reliable informant can support probable cause, even if he fails to thoroughly set forth the basis for his knowledge. Likewise, information given by an informant with questionable motives can be sufficient if he gives a detailed description based on a claimed first-hand observation. Id.
[4] Furthermore, an otherwise insufficient statement by an informant can support the issuance of a search warrant if the police have corroborating evidence. Id. at 241-42, 76 L. Ed. 2d at 550; Lam Yuen, 13 A.S.R.2d at 50. Contrary to the defense position in this case and in Lam Yuen, though, corroborating evidence is not necessary if the informant's credibility and basis of knowledge are sufficient. See Lam Yuen, 13 A.S.R.2d at 50-51 (citing Upton, 466 U.S. at 730-31, 80 L. Ed. 2d at 725-26).
[5] Applying the "totality of circumstances" analysis, the search warrant executed against defendant and his family was supported by sufficient evidence. In his affidavit, the police officer stated that he knew the confidential informant, who was knowledgeable about marijuana and had [25ASR2d105] provided, on two occasions in the past, accurate information leading to arrests for felony narcotic offenses and seizure of narcotic paraphanalia. The informant said his knowledge was based on observations during several personal visits to defendant's residence over a period of some three years, beginning in 1990. In October 1991, the informant visited defendant's residence and saw 30 to 40 marijuana plants growing within the boundaries of a 15-foot high, wooden fence attached to back of the house and covered with a black fishing net. He also purchased four bags of suspected marijuana for $100. The police tested samples from this purchase, which proved positive for THC (the active ingredient in marijuana). During the last visit, in June 1993, the informant stated that he saw defendant and his family selling marijuana and observed about 40 marijuana plants growing in the same fenced-off area. The informant also described the sales procedure in detail. As for the timeliness of the facts supporting the search warrant, determining "whether information is too stale to establish probable cause depends on the nature of the criminal activity, the length of the activity, and the nature of the property to be seized." United States v. Shomo, 786 F.2d 981, 984 (10th Cir. 1986). Here, the criminal activity was ongoing, and the marijuana was being cultivated rather than merely possessed or distributed. This information, as a whole, constituted probable cause for issuance of the search warrant.
A defendant challenging the validity of a search warrant must overcome the deference which is to be given to a magistrate's finding of probable cause. The defendant has failed to show that the district court judge's finding of probable cause lacked a sufficient basis in the evidence. Therefore, defendant's motion to suppress evidence is denied.
It is so ordered.

EASTPOINTE, Mich. - One officer from the Eastpointe Police Department has resigned and another is under investigation for misconduct.
Both officers involved worked in the drug enforcement unit.
The pair allegedly sold off seized items that included: a Rolex watch, jewelry, televisions and tire rims.
The items were believed to be traded or sold in exchange for cocaine and heroine.
The story came to light after some of the seized items were found listed for sale on craigslist.
A local doctor, under investigation himself, received the seized Rolex and started talking to investigators.
Both officers may soon face criminal charges.
The officer who resigned will likely be the first charged.
The case surrounding both officers is on-going and evidence in the case was recently handed over to the Macomb County prosecutor.

The Pimsleur® Method: the easiest, fastest way to learn a new language. Completely portable, easily downloadable, and lots of fun. You'll be speaking and understanding in no time flat!
Each lesson in French Level 1 Lessons 1-5 provides 30 minutes of spoken language practice, with an introductory conversation and new vocabulary and structures. Detailed instructions enable you to understand and participate in the conversation. Each lesson contains practice for vocabulary introduced in previous lessons. The emphasis is on pronunciation and comprehension and on learning to speak French.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
Download the accompanying reference guide.
©2002 Simon & Schuster (P)2010 Simon & Schuster
"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed." (AudioFile magazine)
"excelent course, a true way to learn!"
A brilliant course for both beginners or like me someone with background knowledge already. The timing and layout makes the language stock in your memory and easy to recall then link words you've learned with other sentences.
The theory behind its structure is explained at the beginning and makes sense. My brother has learnt Chinese mandarin though pimsleur and highly recommended it. Can't praise this enough, I want to listen everyday, its great!
"Good course"
This is a really good french course: it does work. I started to learn german with pimslaur first, and experiencing surprising success I also bought the first few of the french course. It goes a bit slower for me than the german, but I studied german at school years ago so I gues that helpes with that.. I go quite slowly with french but I notice that it is getting easier and the words and sentences just stick on me after a while. I think this learning program worths its price and it is really effective. I would surely recommend it to friends in the future (as I already did in the past).
"very easy to follow and learn"
great learning methodology.
best to repeat chapters before moving on.
easy to follow instructions. good
"Very dissapointing."
A better teaching speed.
This book is very dissapointing. In four lessons, they hardly teach anything, it is far too slow. It helps for pronuntiation, but i is far too slow.
"I'm absolutely successful."
I am not an English person, but I was able to follow the instructions easily. Thanks. I'm going to continue and buy more and more.
"Not a bad course"
Like any of the language courses, you get out what you put in, it's not easy but the course takes a slow easy learning approach. Follow the plan and you'll start to learn. The course tends to provide a sentence, and then breaks down all the words in the sentence, and the pronunciations for the words. As I mentioned in the title, not a bad course and I'd recommend it to help supplement French learning. As a side note most of the Pimsleur course seem to follow the same learning approach. I've tried the Swedish one previously. If you like one of the other Pimsleur courses you'll probably like this one.
"The First REAL Self-Learning Language Course"
The Pimsleur method really works.
I am in love with this course, because IT DELIVERS.
Not only does it help you understand and speak phrases in French, it also develops your ability to make your own sentences and understand what they mean. This books teaches you a new language and perfectly selects the stuff that you actually need to know and learn.
As I talk to people who are native speakers or who speak the language fluently, I can actually ask certain questions or have a chat with them.
I have been through the first 10 units of 'Phase 1' and I already am noticing progress in my learning and speaking skills that others notice too.
I wonder how much better my speaking will get as my learning progresses!
Highly recommended!!
"Loving it!"
Driving in my car learning French 😀😊 wonderful!!! I will highly recommend this series to everyone.
It makes you repeat the phases and makes you think since the narrator will ask you to say phases in different ways. I tried other programs and so far this is the best. It also focuses on phases that are important to start with. Lastly and most importantly, it helps you learn how to say things correctly because each syllable is broken down and you are supposed to sound out then out (on certain words). They point out things that are not so obvious to the
"Studying Abroad"
Tres Bien!
Is perfect for anyone wanting to learn a new language on their own.
This is really great. It makes you speak up, develop your pronunciation and learn fast!
"The Introduction is Far Too Long"
I am not sure why I had to listen to 16 whole minutes of useless introduction in order to get to the actual lessons.
"The best way to learn spoken French"
Pimsleur courses is a well proven and effective way of learning a new language. The fact that you are focusing only on the spoken language takes away a lot of the academic difficulties that may stop you from learning in a more traditional text book approach to language studies. You won't be able to write academic texts after a full Pimsleur program but you might very well be able to freely express yourself orally which is what matters the most for most of us anyway. I highly recommend it.
Holy smokes, I'm learning French! Little bits at a time. I like the way they present the information. Well done and thank you.
"Excellent Resource for Oral French"
Note: Please change your ratings. This is a language course, so there is no "story" to rate!
I'm really enjoying this program for learning French. I have some basic French, so the first units are mostly review for me. But they are well done and short enough that I can always find 1/2 hour a day to keep up with it.
"Awesome! So helpful!"
This book has been delightfully helpful in learning how to speak and retain conversational french language skills. I would recommend this to anyone looking to learn how to speak another language.

Economic impact study released: Race track generates $99.5 million a year for other local businesses.
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 28 February 2013 23:03
NORWALK, Ohio -- For fifty years they came to play at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.
And as the quarter-mile dragstrip at 1300 Ohio 18 evolved into a national award-winning facility entertaining half a million guests a year, the impact jolted the local economy proportionately.
Members of the business community recognized the trends and benefits.
"I think, as a health care facility working with (Summit Motorsports Park), it's good, clean family entertainment," said Patrick Martin, president and chief executive officer of Fisher-Titus Medical Center in Norwalk, Ohio. "It's progressive. I don't think people know the economic impact it has on this region."
Summit Motorsports Park commissioned an economic impact study in 2010 by Hedges & Company, Hudson, Ohio, a leading market research and strategic planning firm in the automotive aftermarket industry.
Hedges & Company estimated that more than $99.5 million in economic impact happens each year -- outside of the gates of the dragstrip -- in Huron and Erie counties.
The cost of tickets and food, souvenirs, camping and racing fees inside the park were not included in the $99.5 million. Neither were taxes, employee wages and benefits at the race track.
Hedges & Company based the estimates on several thousand survey responses, solicited immediately after guests attended an event. Hedges collected similar batches of surveys every year for four years.
The major drawing area for Summit Motorsports Park includes Ohio and the surrounding states, according to the study. Surveys reported strong spending in localities near the race track.
Guests who attended Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals in July indicated 42 percent stayed at local hotels or camped for one to four nights. After the Auto Plus Night Under Fire in August, 33 percent stayed one or two nights.
After those two features, guests spent more than $7.3 million on hotels or camping.
Other purchases after the two major features included:
* Food, more than $6.1 million.
* Drinks, more than $4.6 million.
* Gas, more than $6.4 million.
* Miscellaneous supplies, more than $5.1 million.
* Tips, more than $4 million.
* Other expenses such as airline, repairs, souvenirs and medical, more than $5.4 million.
These purchases subtotal more than $39 million directly spent
after those two features.
Hedges & Company used a conservative figure of 50 percent as a multiplier, meaning the amount of these purchases reinvested into the economy through other purchases by the hotels, restaurants, stores, and employees of those businesses, for a total impact of more than $58.8 million.
Of that $58.8 million, guests spent more than 48.7 million in Huron and Erie Counties alone, Hedges estimated.
Adding all of the events for a season, the economic impact to Huron and Erie counties totals more than $99.5 million a year.
Considering sales tax, Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals guests alone spent more than $13.9 million on items subject to sales tax.
Based on a blended tax rate of 6.75 percent for Erie and Huron counties, sales tax totals $939,262 a year on purchases after the NHRA Nationals, according to the study.
Local businesses noticed the trends, and positioned themselves for name recognition by the 500,000 race track guests.
For example, Patrick Martin, president and chief executive officer of Fisher-Titus Medical Center, places signs and other items at Summit Motorsports Park.
"I look at Cedar Point, Kalahari and Summit Motorsports Park as magnets to our area," Martin said. "Probably 95 percent of people who go to Summit are from Ohio and the contiguous states.
"We at Fisher-Titus Medical Center support what they're doing, and that's why we're a sponsor," Martin said. "They're a good event presenter. They're good, wholesome family entertainment.
"Through our Community Outreach program, we also support Summit Motorsports Park with health-related projects like providing hand sanitizer stations for guests. We partner with many local organizations, such as the Norwalk Park and Recreation Department, and the Huron County Health Department to provide wellness and health-related education and activities in our community."
Also, through new business tracking at Fisher-Titus, Martin discovered an ever-widening footprint of care, expanding to the east, north and south.
In the third quarter of 2012, Fisher-Titus logged more than 600 first-time patients, for lab tests, surgery, X-ray, or visits to the emergency room.
Part of the growth Martin attributes to exposure to Fisher-Titus through guests at Summit Motorsports Park, who spread word of services available in Norwalk.
As a result, patients are choosing Fisher-Titus for medical care such as obstetrics, orthopedic surgery, or plastic surgery, Martin said. For more information about Fisher-Titus Medical Center, click on simply smarter care.
Also not included in the study are the negative costs to a community from accidents caused by street racing.
A dragstrip provides an inexpensive place for young people to settle their differences and vie for bragging rights, Martin said.
"Clearly it is a much safer environment than racing on the street," Martin said.
"Imagine drag racing on Gallup Road. It happened because I was there in the late '60s," Martin said, adding at the time Gallup Road was undeveloped.
Then, the Norwalk Airport was in the area of K-Mart and the industrial park on the north side of Norwalk, Martin said.
Ellen Heinz has been director for four years at the Norwalk Economic Development Corp., 10 West Main St., Norwalk, on the Web at norwalkohio.biz. Heinz said gas stations, grocery stores, hotels and restaurants enjoy the influence of Summit Motorsports Park on their bottom line.
"An extremely large amount of their business comes from Summit Motorsports Park and the events that they have," Ellen Heinz said. "We couldn't dream up a better opportunity for Norwalk. There's no better advertising or promotion we could do as a community that would even come close to bringing the number of people into Huron and Erie counties that Summit Motorsports Park does.
"They're an amazing asset to our region that certainly couldn't be duplicated," said Ellen Heinz. "I think the economic impact study clearly illustrates the enormous impact Summit Motorsports Park has on Norwalk, the region and the state. The multipliers appear to be conservative."
Many guests at Summit Motorsports Park can afford to stay and play in the area.
Tom Olak is vice president of Parts Distributors, Inc., 10 Williams St., Norwalk, Ohio, on the Web at pdiparts.com.
"I've seen it first hand as well as I've seen it throughout the community, Olak said."
Parts Distributors is a family-owned, independent wholesale warehouse and retail automotive parts business affiliated with Auto Plus, the official parts store of Summit Motorsports Park, on the Web at autoplus.biz.
Parts Distributors enjoys increased foot traffic, especially during multi-day events at Summit Motorsports Park, Olak said.
A facet of Parts Distributors is supplying racing parts to sportsman racers, Olak said. Also the racers and their families visit the Main Street area to eat and shop.
"I've seen that business increase because of a race event in town," Olak said. "Hotels take it off Main Street. Those businesses in that area north of town benefit."
Regionally traffic from the race track increases business in Sandusky, Lorain and Mansfield, Olak said.
"There certainly isn't enough hotel space in Norwalk to accommodate all those racers," Olak said, adding he saw the $99.5 million impact study. "I firmly believe that study is conservative. In reality the impact may be bigger than that."
For example, visitors to the track often double up the fun by spending a day or two at the Cedar Point Amusement Park and other area attractions, Olak said.
"All of that has an impact on the area," Tom Olak said. "As that study is released, it's important to remember two things. The growth of the race track itself in comparison to the size of the community.
"Bill Bader Jr. is an extraordinary entrepreneur," Tom Olak said. "Summit Motorsports Park put Norwalk on the map."
Similar Norwalk name fame spread through Norwalk Truck Lines and Norwalk Furniture, Olak said. For 57 years Parts Distributors worked through automotive repairs and improvements with its customers.
"The caliber of racers and race events (Bill Bader Jr.) brings to Norwalk has a monumental impact on our local economy and our regional economy," Tom Olak said. "Without that economic impact, when you look at a community our size, we would be hurting more than we are. What he brings is unprecedented growth from a tourism aspect that no other business could bring.
"The airport exists in Huron County," Tom Olak said. "You have to look at what kind of economic impact that can bring. And I can tell you that is extremely limited.
"What Bill is doing is an unprecedented opportunity," Tom Olak said. "I think it's important to really illustrate what a gem we have in our back yard. I don't think most people realize what a great facility it is, and also what a great neighbor we have in the track."

PES 2009 was, for many players, a major let down and the year that EA's FIFA was without question the best virtual football experience on the market. At gamescom last month we managed to fire off a few questions at Shingo "Seabass" Takatsuka, the man behind Konami's flagging franchise, to find out exactly what has been done to ensure PES challenges FIFA for the honours once again.
VideoGamer.com: Do you have any football philosophy you try to recreate in every PES game?
Seabass: Philosophy is a bit difficult actually. Up to PES 2009 I thought the best way to make the real simulation is to pile up single actions that are true to real football - getting those pieces together will make a genuine football simulation. That's what I thought up to 2009. However, we acknowledge that, especially the last two years, the users have been responding saying this is a bit too arcadey. So we have changed the idea and the direction of the game when we go to develop PES titles. This year, it's quite the opposite way to what we thought. We hope we realise totally real football, not just saying we are going to realise single particular moves or single particular actions.
VideoGamer.com: I understand you like to watch real football and try to implement what you see. Is there anything you have spotted from watching real football that you have implemented into PES 2010 that hasn't been in the game before?
Seabass: There are so many things we wanted to implement into the game that we couldn't. Although we have included some 300 modern motions and moves for PES 2010, that is not enough. That doesn't cover everything that I wanted. An example could be, in real football you will see the player trapping the ball at the heel. That is very difficult to implement in the game and we could not realise that so far. The defence system - in the game defence is just pressing the button. That is not the case with real football. Real football, we have to very carefully consider how the centre of gravity moves when a player is moving. That is not completely reproduced in the game. So there are so many things that we want but still cannot implement.
VideoGamer.com: Before the release of the next gen consoles the PS2 version of the game was the flagship version. Is the idea now for the PS3 version to be the flagship version, or are both considered the same by Konami?
Seabass: Actually it's a bit difficult to single out one platform as a flagship. We should say PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 are our main flagship titles.
VideoGamer.com: The PS3 version has suffered from framerate issues for the last two years. Will it be improved this year?
Seabass: Yes we have learned from the past actually. The framerate issue was actually an issue for us as well. So we have of course fixed the problem and we have improved from that point onward. We now think PS3 and Xbox 360 are almost equal. Well, coming into very detailed features there are differences, but that's not because of the game. It purely depends on the specification of the hardware. They are not the same, so there should be differences. In that sense there are differences.
VideoGamer.com: But the framerate will be fine on PS3?
Seabass: Yes.
VideoGamer.com: I'd love to know what your favourite football team is and who your favourite player is, and have you made them better in the game than they are in real life? Because you're the boss. And you can.
Seabass: My favourite team is Lazio and my favourite player is [Pasquale] Foggia. As you mentioned, if I wished I could improve the statistics, but I don't do anything unfair.
VideoGamer.com: Why is Lazio your favourite football team?
Seabass: In previous seasons they had a lot of stars, so I was watching and very much impressed. However, as time went on the team wasn't doing very well. But I was still impressed with the way the team was fighting and playing, so the team became my favourite.
In the game I used to play with Inter, however, the team has become very strong so I thought it might be unfair to use such a strong team, so I changed.
VideoGamer.com: In recent versions Adriano was very strong.
Seabass: [Laughs] On the pitch he's a very good player.
PES 2010 is scheduled for release for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC on October 22, with versions for PS2 and PSP to follow on November 5 and Wii on November 19.
