The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume 2, Issue 45
This article was first published on NewsMax.com - October 10, 2002.
The recent eight seemingly senseless shootings in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Fredericksburg, Virginia, have created a terror that's paralyzing the citizens of communities surrounding our nation's capital. Citizens are fearful of going outside, and schools are canceling all outside and after school activities. If terror was the goal, the terrorist has achieved his goal – we are a region paralyzed with fear.
Law enforcement officials are of the opinion that the shooter, or shooters, is either part of a foreign terrorist plot, or possibly an individual who "hunts" and kills humans to enjoy a twisted pleasure. In other words, right now they don't know what kind of person is behind this.
Some say our free and open society invites individuals to commit heinous acts, if they so choose, because there is no way for our government authorities to keep track of all who may seek to harm us. Even if the government could find most of these monsters through intrusive investigations and snoopers spying on every street corner, some would still slip through the cracks. The government can't read minds.
Consider a real terrorist act which took place outside of the headquarters of the CIA a few years ago. The shooter met morning rush hour traffic turning into the CIA gates, and systematically shot people as they waited in their cars to go through security. He was able to escape, but was identified later because of an excellent investigation conducted by several dedicated agencies, including the FBI. It was determined that he was a foreign terrorist – an "America hater"– and had selected the CIA Headquarters because it was believed the killings would terrorize the CIA and the nation.
We would later learn that associates of Osama bin Laden were planning more carnage at the CIA by using hijacked commercial airliners full of passengers to dive into the many office buildings located there. On September 11, 2001 the targets turned out to be the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. But it's possible the CIA was once again a target – one hijacked plane was taken over by the passengers and later crashed in Pennsylvania. Moreover, after September 11, box cutters were found secreted in at least one other aircraft, so we'll never know if other hijackings were planned but thwarted by quick action from the Bush White House to ground all commercial aircraft.
So now it's possible that one or more foreign America haters have decided to conduct their own form of localized terrorism: firing a high powered rifle at innocent citizens from a considerable distance to avoid arrest. After all, the lesson learned by terrorists after the attack in New York is that to kill ordinary U.S. citizens is a very effective way to bring our nation to its knees.
But, the shooter, or shooters, could just as easily be of the "homegrown" variety.
Our violent history recalls one white-hating shooter aboard the Long Island Railroad, who for whatever reason, decided he had "suffered" enough discrimination at the hands of white people. He calmly walked through the railcars, shooting and reloading at will until many were killed. Passengers were finally able to subdue this monster after he stopped to reload again.
Then there were the "Son of Sam" killings in New York City. An individual stalked the streets of New York, looking for lovers sitting in cars. When he would find them, voices in his head would tell him to shoot. He killed several innocents until the police could put together enough facts to determine who the real killer was. He was not aligned with any political group, he was simply twisted, just like the two teenagers in Colorado who walked the halls of Columbine High School killing innocent teenagers, especially those who had expressed a love for Christ or organized sports.
The point is, the only thing standing between the average innocent citizen and a horrible death at the hands of a real terrorist or a nut, is…nothing.
Absolutely nothing stops an organized killer working for a terrorist, or a crazy person listening to voices in his or her head, unless a lucky law enforcement officer stumbles upon the crime being committed. In a society with too few police officers and with millions of freely roaming citizens, the odds of a killer being caught in the act are slim to none.
Those who preach that gun control is the answer to violent crime will have no immediate comment when the shooter is eventually arrested or killed. That's because Maryland and the District of Columbia have some of the toughest gun laws in the country. These overlapping, and some say unconstitutional, gun laws have done nothing to make Maryland and D.C. safer. Layer upon layer of guns laws simply don't work.
Instead, the killer, or killers, know that unless they are caught red-handed by police officers, they will probably escape. The average law-abiding citizen of Maryland can only watch in horror as the shooter fires his weapon and drives away.
Yes, yes, they can write down a vehicle description and perhaps get a tag number. This is how most killers are eventually caught – but here the key word is eventually. The person or persons who are doing these killings need to be stopped now! And how will the average citizen of the states of Maryland or D.C. stop them? With sticks or rocks?
Of course, most police cars are marked, so cunning predators can wait until the police car turns the corner. And, although there are many good undercover officers who can blend in and perhaps catch this monster as he lays in wait for his next victim, the number of uniformed police officers far outnumbers the undercover types.
All of the conventional statistics prove that when citizens have the right to arm themselves and carry concealed weapons, the crime rate goes down. The killer now confines most of his activities to the state of Maryland. Could it be that he, or they, know they have little to fear from the law-abiding citizens who are helpless against such armed killers? If one person had been armed on that train in Long Island, or if one school official had been armed at Columbine, could there have been a different outcome?
One thing is for certain: those who live in states that permit their law-abiding to carry concealed weapons, have citizens who have less to fear from armed terrorists, whether foreign or domestic. Citizens of these states constitute a volunteer army of law enforcement officers multiplying the number of possibilities of stopping this madness.

BC pounds DU at Magness Arena
No. 1 BC was awesome tonight in its 6-2 win in DU's home opener and Game 1 of the two-game series. The Eagles, the defending NCAA champs, emphatically won the second period, getting four goals within about a 10-minute stretch. On a handful of occasions, DU couldn't keep two defensemen in front of the puck at the same time, and BC's transition game was simply awesome. At least four of BC's six goals came on odd-man rushes.
DU had its chances. The Pios went 0-of-6 on the PP and failed to score on two 5-on-3 advantages — one late in the first period and another in the third. If they would have converted on the 5-on-3s it would have been more interesting.
"I was pleased with our game tonight, but like I thought, I could see a lot of room for improvement," BC coach Jerry York said. "I thought we took too many penalties and had some stretches where we have to think a little bit.
"Denver's got a good club and it was a miracle they didn't score 5-on-3. They were ringing it off the pipes, and John (Muse) had that one save with the glove."
BC's top line is incredibly quick. Center Brian Gibbons, right wing Cam Atkinson and left wing Joe Whitney combined for three goals, four assists, 11 shots and a plus-6 rating.
DU defenseman Matt Donovan was a minus-4, and partner Chris Nutini was minus-3 (along with center Anthony Maiani).

Watch These Babies Laughing at Dogs — Daily Distraction

It doesn't matter how old you are—dogs are funny.
A sock? Really? What could possibly be scary about a sock that's just sitting there on the floor?
Animals are often curious by nature. So it's probably a decent idea to keep your window closed if there's, say, a giraffe around.
The eternal war between felines and canines continues.
Airports may be a frequent source of massive frustration—just ask anyone who had to travel cross-country this past week—but sometimes they provide us with moments that just melt your heart.
Realistically speaking, turkeys don't stand a chance this Thanksgiving. But that hasn't stopped these fowl-tempered (sorry) beasts from fighting back against their would-be devourers, us humans.
As our stomachs prepare for Thursday's massive caloric intake, let's take a look at how a few of our animal pals do it.
Just in case you need another warning: deep-frying turkeys can be dangerous. And here's proof.
Baby animals and baby bottles—that pretty much sums it up.
The edge of the bed just kinda sneaks up on you sometimes, doesn't it?
It's getting colder and colder out there, which means more ice to slip around on and play on and, inevitably, fall on.

Push notifications are amazing. With iOS and also Android, developers are able to send a notification to the user's device. A notification of breaking news if you built a news app, a bid on the user's for sale time or a message from a potential date. Push notifications are great to engage and re-engage a user. However, push notifications done wrong can be annoying and even lead to uninstalls. So let's look how you can do push notifications in a user-friendly way.
Ask for permissions when relevant
Android recently changed its permission model with Android 6.0 (API level 23) and is now on par with iOS. Both platforms allow you to ask for the required permissions after installation at any moment. Notifications can be invasive, so you have to explain to a user why he/she should allow you to push notifications to the app. The best way is to ask at a relevant time: the user puts a product up for sale, ask how he/she wants to be notified and offer push notifications. Asking for permissions immediately at installation is crude and premature. Does the user trust your brand? What added value does your app offer? The user hasn't had a chance yet to answer those questions, so will be inclined to decline permissions for your push notifications. And reversing that decision via System settings is very hard, so you lost forever the possibility to sent notifications to that user.
Lately it has become a trend to first show a pre-permission modal dialog explaining why your app needs push notifications. After the OK the OS then shows the standard permissions dialog. I find that a bit cumbersome. If it is clear why you want to send notifications, there is no need to have an extra modal.
Send only relevant notifications
By definition your users are doing something. You are interrupting them and are asking for their attention. Yes a push notification is not as invasive as a phone call. Still a user will have to grab their phone, pull the phone out of their bag or pocket. Then he/she needs to unlock the screen maybe and process your message. In short, there is a cost involved for the user and your notification should be worth it. So send relevant information that offers value to the user.
Time it right and limit number of notifications
Push notifications are by definition disruptive, but how much depends on the user's situation A user might be asleep. At work in meetings, having dinner with the family. Or waiting on the elevator or be on the bus. You should try to minimize disruption and find the best time to send notifications. Also, don't send too many notifications. Make sure to send user-friendly notifications that don't irritate the user. For some notifications it is clear, like when you receive a message from another user. But some notifications like news item of the day allow you to choose your time.
Make notifications configurable
Let the user decide what events should send a push notification and what not. Giving users granular control over their notifications will make them feel empowered and less likely to completely turn off notifications or delete your app.
Integrate well with your app
User-friendly push notifications will take the user to the relevant view in your app. Ready to read that content, or reply to that message. Embed urls in your push notification that your app can parse to find out what view you should show. Or for iOS, use interactive notifications.
Sync across devices
Users have multiple devices. iPhones and iPads. Personal computers. Pushing the same notification to all devices will create a barriage of beeps. If possible, invest the time to detect what is the best device to send the notification to. Slack is a great example of a service that neatly manages notifications across devices. When you run the Slack desktop app and receive a notification, no notification is sent to your iPhone app. When you close your desktop app, suddenly user-friendly push notifications arrive on your phone.
Monitor and tune
It is very important that you monitor what effect your notifications have. Don't just fire and forget, that will mean you will lose users. With a few lines of code you can detect on iOS and Android if an app is openend after a notification. Track those event. In particular re-engagement notifications are important to monitor. They have the power to turn a dormant user in an active user. Or make the user realize he/she doesn't need your app after too many irrelevant and therefore annoying notifications and to uninstall it.
What apps do you know handle their notifications well and send only user-friendly push notifications?

On the one hand, should I be blogging on Father's Day? On the other hand, what more important day is there to blog on climate change than Father's Day? So as a compromise, I'm doing some cross-posts and reposts.Last year, Salon published my Father's Day essay. It was a sequel of sorts to "Is the global economy a Ponzi scheme?" Sadly, it needs to be updated since, of course, we didn't pass a climate bill and thus took a quantum leap closer to leaving our children a ruined climate.
As parents, we constantly admonish our children to share with others. The joke is that as adults, we hardly like to share anything at all. Who likes to lend out their car? Or their tools or books? We're so worried they won't come back in the same condition — or won't be returned at all.
But the truth is that the people we like to share the least with are our own children. "We do not inherit the Earth from our parents, we borrow it from our children," the saying goes. Right now, though, we've borrowed the entire Earth, trashed much of it, and don't plan to give back the rest of it.
We are plundering the world's "renewable resources" — arable land and tropical forests and fisheries and fresh water. And we are using an ever-greater fraction of nonrenewable energy resources, especially hydrocarbons, with devastating consequences.
As one example, our carbon pollution is acidifying all of the oceans simultaneously, while heating them up to record levels, threatening mass extinction of aquatic life. Australian marine science professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, the lead author of a major study on acidification, says the result is that "we are entering a period in which the very ocean services upon which humanity depends are undergoing massive change and in some cases beginning to fail." He adds: "It's as if the Earth has been smoking two packs of cigarettes a day" — except, of course, the smoke comes from our addiction to fossil fuels, not the Earth's. (Sew Nature Geoscience study: Oceans are acidifying 10 times faster today than 55 million years ago when a mass extinction of marine species occurred).
The website RealClimate points out that the amount of dangerous carbon dioxide we spew into the air each day from burning fossil fuels and deforestation is roughly equivalent to "five thousand spills like in the Gulf of Mexico, all going at once … every day for decades and centuries on end."
And if we listen much longer to those anti-science disinformers who have been counseling inaction, we won't just be trashing the climate for our children — we will be destroying a livable climate for countless future generations. A 2009 study led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that "the climate change that is taking place because of increases in carbon dioxide concentration is largely irreversible for 1,000 years after emissions stop." What kind of changes? Well, besides destroying the oceans, the study warns of "irreversible dry-season rainfall reductions in several regions comparable to those of the 'dust bowl' era and inexorable sea level rise."
The dust bowl that will hit the American Southwest and a half-dozen other heavily populated regions around the Earth will likely last far, far longer than the one that devastated the Great Plains in the 1930s (See NCAR analysis warns we risk multiple, devastating global droughts even on moderate emissions path). And the sea level rise could hit 4 to 6 feet by century's end and then continue rising a foot or more a decade, until all the land-based ice on the planet is gone and seas are more than 200 feet higher Sea levels may rise 3 times faster than IPCC estimated, could hit 6 feet by 2100). How will our children's children and their descendants adapt to that?
Conservatives have demagogued even the most moderate, business-friendly proposal to put a price on carbon, falsely labeling it and "energy tax." President Obama has never given a single major speech to the American public on the greatest threat we face — the threat posed by unrestricted greenhouse gas emissions, the urgent need to make polluters pay for emitting carbon dioxide. He failed to press hard for the passage of a Senate bill As a result, the prospects have dimmed for serious climate legislation for the foreseeable future (see "The failed presidency of Barack Obama, Part 2").
To refuse to place a price on carbon dioxide pollution is to ignore the damage your actions today will inevitably have on the health and well-being of your children and everyone else's children. Something to think about on Father's Day.

Thanks Joe.
Hey kids, we know that we subsidize carbon wealth at the expense of damaging the future. We just don't know how to stop. Sorry. You may have to help.
Good one, Joe. The fossil fuel and banking interests that fight to protect their fortunes may see their own children experience privation, too. If climate change rages out of control, money and big houses won't save them from social and environmental disintegration.
I think the deniers and those who pay them are often greed crazed psychopaths.

We may be leaving our children Venus, not just a somewhat warmer Earth. It's actually looking very, very bad. If appreciable amounts of methane are released, according to numerous authorities including Isaksen, this will set off a cascade of atmospheric chemistry reactions which will amplify heating still further. This cascade would result in ozone, stratospheric water vapor, increased methane lifetime, and CO2 which produce radiative forcing several times as large as the forcing from methane at its current lifetime.And each bit of radiative forcing, from any source, including CO2, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, and CFC's will be more than matched by the water vapor feedback.
This is the most horrifying scientific paper I have read in my life- and Isaksen does not even mention the very strong water vapor and cloud feedback to forcing from any source:
Isaksen — Strong atmospheric chemistry feedback to climate warming from Arctic methane emissions.
At the end of James Hansen's book Storms of my Grandchildren he speculates on an Earth 500 years from now with a runaway greenhouse effect like Venus and surface temperatures approaching 100 degrees Celsius.
June 19 at 1:02pm
Yes, I need to read Storms of my Grandchildren. I've been doing a bit of amateur math, projecting Isaksen's curves from his Table 2 into higher methane concentrations, then adding in CO2 from fossil fuels and the water vapor feedback. At 150 ppm methane and 1500 ppm CO2, I get numbers approaching 70 W/m2 of forcing- plausibly high enough to tip the planet into true runaway heating.
The highest methane concentration Isaksen considers directly is 23 ppm (13x current values), and he does not consider the water vapor feedback. But methane lifetime would increase due to degradation of hydroxyl radical levels, so after a threshold it passed, 150 ppm methane from the hydrates escaping the oceans is all too likely, I think.
Even the shape of the absorption bands suggests to me that true runaway warming is possible.Water vapor bands have long tails on them, which could rise like curtains as water vapor concentration increases, shutting the door on outgoing infrared radiation.
At some point, as the sun increases in brightness, the earth will likely undergo a runaway greenhouse effect. But which point, and how soon?
June 20 at 10:29am
Skeptics will ask why this runaway has not happened yet. Perhaps the anthropic principle is at work here. If a runaway had occurred in the past, we would not be here to ask that question.
June 20 at 10:38am
perhaps the runaway is happening only like the recession its easier to recognize in hindsight… only I dont know if you can do that in this case at 70W/m2….

"We do not inherit the earth from our parents, we borrow it from our children."
We can give you your planet back, but we just can't help pretending to be top predators, eating animals, birds and fishes until they are all gone. Even those of us who ought to know better, just can't resist the taste. We were brought up to be caterpillars, and we intend to die as caterpillars. Sorry, kids…

Had a great Father's day yesterday surrounded by my children and their children. Amidst that joy, It gives me pause to consider that "We do not inherit the earth from our parents, we borrow it from our children". Wonder what they will think of us when we return it?
? President Obama has never given a single major speech to the American public on the greatest threat we face — the threat posed by unrestricted greenhouse gas emissions".
Considering this I am not sure what Obama is…. any ideas?

Experts in autocracies have pointed out that it is, unfortunately, easy to slip into normalizing the tyrant, hence it is important to hang on to outrage.

Every Thanksgiving weekend for the past 18 years, Arapaho and Cheyenne youth lead a 180-mile relay from the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site to Denver.
The annual Sand Creek Massacre Spiritual Healing Run opens at the site of the Sand Creek Massacre near Eads, Colorado, with a sunrise ceremony honoring some 200 Arapaho and Cheyenne people who lost their lives in the infamous massacre. This brutal assault was carried out by Colonel John Chivington on Nov. 29, 1864.
While the Sand Creek massacre has been the subject of Buses Women's Jodhpurs Equestrian Navy (Coral), much less attention has been given to Nitecore GP3 Action Camera Light of this horrific event: U.S. soldiers Captain Silas Soule and Lt. Joseph Cramer.
These were men who rejected the violence and genocide inherent in the "conquest of the West." They did so by personally refusing to take part in the murder of peaceful people, while ordering the men under their command to stand down. Their example breaks the conventional frontier narrative that has come to define the clash between Colonial settlers and Native peoples as one of civilization versus savagery.
This is a theme I've previously addressed as a scholar in the fields of Naturehike Self Inflatable Sleeping Mat With Pillow and Colonial history, both in my book on the Indian captivity narrative genre, "Buried in Shades of Night," and more recently in writings on Sand Creek.

Soule's noble act of compassion at Sand Creek is humbly conveyed in a Pinnacle 3mm Mens Full Wet Suit Large included in the Denver Public Library Western History Collections: "I was present at a Massacre of three hundred Indians mostly women and children… It was a horrable scene and I would not let my Company fire."
Refusing to participate, Soule and the men of Company D of the First Colorado, along with Cramer of Company K, bore witness to the incomprehensible. Chivington's attack soon descended into a frenzy of killing and mutilation, with soldiers taking scalps and other grisly trophies from the bodies of the dead. Soule was a devoted abolitionist and one dedicated to the rights of all people. He stayed true to his convictions in the face of insults and even a threat of hanging from Chivington the night before at Fort Lyon.

The Cheyenne and Arapaho will return to Denver this year to honor their ancestors and remember Soule's and Cramer's conscience and humanity. This will be done through an offering of prayers and blessings, along with the performance of honor songs.
On the third and final day of the healing run, they will gather for a sunrise ceremony at Soule's flower-adorned grave at Denver's Riverside Cemetery. The participants will then continue on to 15th and Lawrence Street in downtown Denver. There, a plaque is mounted on the side of an office building at the place where Soule was murdered on April 23, 1865. His death, for which no one was ever brought to justice, occurred only two months after he testified against Chivington before the Army commission.
Over the last few decades, Soule's grave and place of death have been transformed into sacred sites of remembrance within a violent and traumatic frontier past.

I didn't deliberately time the creation of this blog to coincide with the Jewish New Year, a day of celebration and renewal ordinarily commemorated through consumption of apples and honey in hopes of a sweet new year to come. Indeed, given the odd lunar cycle of the Jewish calendar, it is purely coincidental that we find ourselves here today, once again looking back and looking forward, in the midst of a more spiritual mandate to do the same.
Problematically, however, I said it all pretty clearly back at the six-month mark. Saying so here profusely would be redundant. But having spent all day in temple, it's hard to separate the very personal feelings of gratitude and mindfulness I feel at making it to my one year anniversary as a music blogger from the themes of change and community grounding which I have spent the morning pondering.
As such, where I used the half-year anniversary of Cover Lay Down as an opportunity to thank those vast and myriad influences and constituencies who have made me feel so welcome over these many months — the artists, labels, fellow bloggers, and readers like yourself — today, instead of merely repeating those same sentiments, I thought I'd take a moment to reflect on the blogger himself.
Because blogging has changed me.
My creative writing profs weren't wrong when they said that fundamentally, writers write — that is, what makes a writer a writer, rather than just the originator of text, is not so much any innate quality but the honed craft that comes from exercise and sweat. I've heard it from songwriters, too, most recently from Kristen Andreassen: write the songs, and the best of them will emerge; write less, and less gems will hide among the lessened chaff. I do not claim to be a perfect writer, but I think I am coming to master my own flaws as an observer and chronicler of music, and how it connects to the world around us. And I am grateful, to all of you, for the continued validation of that writing which mere readership brings, let alone the kind words which artists and commenters have given me in thanks for writing.
Blogging about music, in particular, has also brought about a change in my listening habits. Where once I was content to leave things on shuffle, now I spend at least as much time making connections, searching for common threads, and immersing myself in the deep pools of a single artist's output, that I might be able to truly describe in words what "works" for me about the song.
The immersive approach means less time for novelty — the trickle of label gems that currently finds its way to my mailbox is small by blogger standards, but more than ample enough for my habit. I've had to really push myself to attend shows and festivals these last few months, that I might discover new artists and songs to pass along to you; if it weren't for a great set of bloggers out there I have learned to trust, I'd worry that I was falling into a rut, musically speaking.
But approaching music this way engenders a kind of listening which is wonderfully deep and immersive, and treating all music as potential blogfodder also means that I live my life as if I was blessed with two choice opportunities for making the perfect themed mixtape every week. And as those who grew up in the mixtape era know, there's nothing more engrossing, no better opportunity for making connections between the soul and the music, than the quest for the perfect set of music, whether the planned motif is a single artist or a single song, a theme or a tribute.
In theory, focusing on what I know and can connect also means accepting the vast breadth of what is out there as both unknown and unknowable — the more you know, the more you don't. For me, this has made it easier to accept the time and energy it takes to really focus on the moment granted by a single artist, sound, and song as a blessing, and be grateful for it. My recent trip to ICONS was better unplanned; by not worrying about making sure I was seeing the "right" artists, for example, I found myself in a tiny performance space, listening to a few great young artists out of the Boston fiddle-folk scene who will surely come up later here at Cover Lay Down.
If such focus is the goal, then I'll be the first to admit that I've lost a bit of my focus over the past few weeks. It's been a selfish period, I guess, what with my recent grief, and the stress of starting a new job; writing has always been easier than listening for me, and I'm afraid I've let the writing, not the song connections, become the focus a bit too often. Soon, I hope, I'll be able to return to blogging with a primary focus on songwriters and songs, rather than the themed lists which have recently overwhelmed this blog. In the coming weeks, for example, I hope to be able to bring more new artists to the table, and more features on both the songs and the performance of lesser-known folk musicians who deserve the recognition.
But though today is a day of renewal, it is also just the beginning; there's a reason why the liminal doorway opens for the next nine days in Judaism, rather than demanding that we return to our true, best selves all at once. In gratitude, then, for the opportunity, while I rewire the self for a continued focus on folk artists and their coversong, here's one more long-winded post capped by another list of sweet coverfolk songs with a common topic, in hopes and well-wishes for a sweet new year.
Please, as always, treat these songs as but a marvelous taste of the work of some great artists, each of whom deserves your full (and financial) support. Played in order, they transition smoothly from folkpop to indiefolk by way of alt-country, bluesfolk, and a little freak folk; if you like them, just imagine the three dozen songs I rejected on my way towards making this one perfect blogbirthday mixtape.
May the new year bring sweetness, change, and a return to the true self for all of us.
- Joan Osborne: How Sweet It Is (orig. Marvin Gaye)
High-production folkpop from honorary Grateful Dead member Joan Osborne via her radio-ready 2002 covers album How Sweet It Is.
- Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne: Kisses Sweeter Than Wine (orig. The Weavers)
Pulsing folk rock with a reggae beat from old folkies and old friends Raitt and Browne. From an aforementioned Seeger tribute.
- Girlyman: My Sweet Lord (orig. George Harrison)
A reposted favorite from the exquisite harmonies of alt-folk and alt-sexual trio Girlyman's Remember Who I Am.
- Taken By Trees: Sweet Child O' Mine (orig. Guns 'n Roses)
Lovely atmospheric guitar-and-pianofolk; new "band" Taken By Trees is actually Victoria Bergsman, ex-member of the Concretes and the female vocalist from last year's indiefolk smash single Young Folks.
- Nancy Elizabeth: Sweet Jesus (orig. James Yorkston)
This gorgeous quietfolk with bells on from young UK scenester Nancy Elizabeth shines on the recent album of covers accompanying Yorkston's When The Haar Rolls In.
- 6202 Ellen Ave.: Sweet Lorraine (orig. Patty Griffin)
6206 Ellen Ave was a one-off collaborative project from Josh Ritter, Bridget Matros, and Guy Mendilow while they were all at Oberlin; covering Patty Griffin's slower work is tricky, but sophomore Matros had the chops and the right note of weariness. Sadly, after a short career on the folkscene, she has since lost her voice to acid reflux disease. (More about Matros, and some earlier covers, here.)
- Emmylou Harris: Sweet Old World (orig. Lucinda Williams)
A weary alt-country ballad from queen of country coverfolk Emmylou Harris, just one of many reasons to own 1995 Grammy-winner Wrecking Ball.
- Laura Cantrell: The Whiskey Makes You Sweeter (orig. Amy Allison)
Slow countryfolk slowdance from previously featured singer-songwriter, DJ, and equal rights activist Laura Cantrell.
- Guy Davis: Sweetheart Like You (orig. Bob Dylan)
Mellow, rich bluesfolk complete with accordian and Guy Davis' rough barroom rasp, an underrated cut from my favorite Dylan tribute album.
- Karen Dalton: Sweet Substitute (orig. Jellyroll Morton)
Wonderfully out of tune, slightly psychedelic bluesfolk in the unmistakable key of late sixties icon and folkmuse Karen Dalton.
- The Weird Weeds: Sweet Thing (orig. Van Morrison)
Eerie experimental electrofolk from free 2005 Weird Weeds EP This Is Not What You Want.

Remember Me (PC) review
"It's not dull; it's too varied for that. What it's lacking, though, is anything that truly makes it stand out on the gameplay front. It would have only taken one thing to elevate this material, and the memory remix levels almost do that, but there are only four of them, in a campaign that'll run you nine or ten hours to complete."

Active: The children are learning Toki Pona.
Passive: Toki Pona is being learnt by the children.
Causative: The parent is teaching the children Toki Pona. (i.e. "makes them learn")
jan pi toki pona o,
Outside of pu, I have observed forms like *"pana sona" instead of "pana e sona" (to teach).
- mama li pana e sona pi toki pona tawa jan lili. (The parent is teaching Toki Pona to the children.)
→ *mama li pana sona e toki pona tawa jan lili.
It reads well (for an English-speaker), but it's not pu. The root for this seems to be that Toki Pona doesn't have a causative, and no passive. Otherwise a sentence expressing "The parent is making Toki Pona something known to the children" might have emerged. But such a sentence seems not to be possible because it would look like this:
- *mama li sona e toki pona tawa jan lili. *(The parent knows Toki Pona according to the children.)
The reason for this seems to be how pu shows how to "convert any verb into a noun" (pu, page 26):
- toki (something that you speak)
moku (something that you eat)
So *"ijo toki" (something to speak, something talkable) and *"ijo moku" (something to eat, something edible) turn into "toki" and "moku". The implicit rule seems to be that "ijo" is omitted before a transitive verb (*"ijo sona" → "sona") which prevents us from forming passives and causatives. I hope this "rule" can be interpreted like this, though: "ijo" is omitted before transitive verbs (like "toki" and "moku") except when used in order to express passives and causatives. Here's what I mean:
- nimi sin li ijo toki. (The new words are being spoken.)
kili li ijo moku. (The fruit is being eaten.)
toki pona li ijo sona. (Toki pona is being known.)
- mama li ijo toki e nimi sin tawa jan lili. (The parent makes the children say the new words.)
mama li ijo moku e kili tawa jan lili. (The parent makes the child eat the fruit.)
mama li ijo sona e toki pona tawa jan lili. (The parent teaches Toki Pona to the children.)
This is not a "pona" style, but it seems possible.

About Tiffany
In addition to scoring several big bubblegum pop hits in the late '80s, teen queen Tiffany also helped pave the way for the decade's ultimate (and most successful) teenybopper band, the New Kids on the Block. Born Tiffany Renee Darwish on October 2, 1971, in Oklahoma, Tiffany began singing at an early age, but it wasn't the light pop style that she would eventually become known for. The young singer started off performing country & western songs, eventually getting discovered by country music veterans Hoyt and Mae Axton during the early '80s, while performing at a country nightclub in Los Angeles. For the next few years, Tiffany appeared on TV (including an appearance on Ed McMahon's Star Search), continued to perform concerts (including opening a show for Jerry Lee Lewis and George Jones in Texas), and recorded several demos, in hope of landing a recording contract. In early 1986, Tiffany signed on with manager George Tobin, which would lead to problems later when it became known in that Tobin had "absolute control" over her career (since she was a minor at the time, Tiffany's mother signed for her, and later regretted having a divorce lawyer examine the papers instead of an entertainment lawyer). But Tobin did get the still-teenaged singer a recording contract with MCA, which issued Tiffany's self-titled debut in early 1987.
The album was promoted initially by a concert tour of U.S. malls, but it wasn't until later in the year that the album began to catch on with the young pop audience, when MTV and radio latched on to a cover of "I Think We're Alone Now," which soon pushed the album to the number one spot on the Billboard album charts (and in less than year, was certified quadruple platinum). A follow-up single, "Could've Been," proved to be just as successful, as it peaked at the top spot of the Billboard singles chart. But despite Tiffany's runaway success, this period proved to be troubling personally, as her mother filed a missing person's report for the singer, while Tiffany in return filed for legal emancipation (although Tiffany's mother claimed to be concerned about Tobin's "exploitative treatment" of Tiffany, Tiffany decided to stand by Tobin's side). A cover of the Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There" (reworked as "I Saw Him Standing There") proved to be Tiffany's last major hit, peaking at number seven in the spring of 1988, as the singer gave the opening spot on a U.S. tour to a then-unknown teeny band, the New Kids on the Block (supposedly after the group auditioned for Tiffany backstage one night prior to a show).
Tiffany's sophomore effort, 1988's Hold an Old Friend's Hand, was another hit (earning platinum certification), but didn't match the success of its predecessor, as it signaled that her audience was shifting their focus to other similarly styled bands (namely the New Kids on the Block). When her third release, New Inside, sunk from sight almost immediately after its release in 1990, it was clear that Tiffany's 15 minutes were up, as she faded from the public's view. Despite her much lower profile, Tiffany continued to issue albums on a sporadic basis, including 1993's Dreams Never Die, 2000's The Color of Silence, and 2007's Just Me (while a collection, Greatest Hits, was released in 1996). Tiffany's public profile increased slightly around the dawn of the 21st century, as the singer was the subject of an episode of VH1's Behind the Music series (in which she disclosed a reconciliation with her mother) and, probably biggest of all, she posed for a 2002 issue of Playboy magazine. ~ Greg Prato

The new ABC circulation figures are out today – and I hope you won't find them confusing. The PPA will be releasing the numbers at noon, and these can be regarded as the most accurate ones, combining print and digital replica edition sales.
Meanwhile, the ABC is releasing various sets of figures – some comprising print only, then a separate column for replica apps. The publishers themselves will release whatever suits them best.
For the first time in my life, the question 'What is your circulation?' and 'What is your ABC?' is no longer interchangeable. This is because the British ABC has been much slower than the other advanced media markets to integrate digital replica sales into the headline circulation figure.
For the sake of clarity, a replica edition is the complete magazine – every article, every advertisement – paid for and downloaded on to an iPad or other tablet, and read exactly like the print version. Over the past 18 months, sales of these replica editions have sky-rocketed, and are becoming a normal and accepted way to read magazines.
At British GQ, for example, 12 percent of all paid sales are now of replica apps – readers buy them for the same price as a subscription and find them a convenient and modern way to enjoy the magazine. Several times, I have spotted cool young men reading GQ on their iPads at Terminal 5 – and these tablet readers are bang on brand.
Why the ABC has been so slow to embrace the digital revolution is one of the mysteries of the day, and very frustrating. The United States has been including replica sales in its headline ABC figure for several years, ditto France and Australia.
Britain, once a media trailblazer, has seen the decision bogged down in committees by bureaucracy, pedantry and timidity. Meanwhile, the more go-ahead media buyers have been ignoring the ABC altogether and trading on the accurate combined figures.
To compound the frustration, the ABC as an organisation is 100% funded by the media owners, but the ABC Council is dominated by long-serving agency and client representatives.
So, we media owners find ourselves in the odd position of investing hundreds of thousands of pounds in these fabulous new tablet versions, but being held back from fully reaping the benefits of our innovation by an organisation that we ourselves fund. Who is going to overtake us next? The Greek ABC? Portugal?
Nobody supports the ABC more strongly or loyally than the magazine publishers, but unless it can get its head into the 21st Century, one worries for its future. Change happens: the tablet has been invented, and will not be un-invented.
Sometimes one gets the feeling the ABC Council would have resisted the auditing of print when it was first invented. "I'm sorry, Mr Caxton, but we can't include mass-produced print in the ABC headline figure. We only audit illuminated manuscripts round here."

Jimmy Fallon Channels Bob Dylan For 'Jingle Bells, Batman Smells'
No talk show host does Christmas (or Bob Dylan) like Jimmy Fallon.
In the long line of impersonations the 'Late Night' host puts on, perhaps his Dylan is most impressive. As seen here — a clip from last night's episode in which Fallon carols a famed 'Jingle Bells' parody in the voice of the legendary musician — the former 'SNL' superstar delighted both his crowded studio and the at-home audience alike. In fact, in terms of sound, it'd be hard to spot the comedian from the real deal.
Any takers?

Categories in the Wiki
Click here to see the list of all categories in the wiki: Wiki Categories. Categories are a tool for organizing the content of the wiki into groupings. A category is simply a group of articles with a "category tag" in common. Or said another way, you don't "put" an article in a category, you put a "category tag" into an article. This then makes the article findable by listing it under that category.
Every category also has a "category page". This is a page with an introductory note explaining what the category is about, and it also automatically generates an alphabetical list of article titles that are in the category (by virtue of containing the category tag). If you want to add a new category to the wiki, just add the tag for the new category at the end of the article. The link to the new category page will be in red, indicating that it does not exist yet. Click the link to actually create the category page. The new category page automatically includes an alphabetical list, by title, of all articles in the category (containing that category tag). Please check the list of categories before adding a new one, to see if there is already a category there that covers the content. Please consider new category names carefully as it is a non-trivial matter to rename a category.

Bake the Book: Sweet Benne Wafers
Get the Recipe
There are several varieties of benne wafers in existence; some sweet, some savory, some a mix of both. These wafers, from Lee Bros Charleston Kitchen are on the sweet side, all the way to caramel. With an addictively crunchy-chewy texture, and full of toasted sesame flavor, these little darlings will disappear as fast as you can turn them out.
Tips: Keep an eye on the sesame seeds as you toast them. There's an awfully small window between "the color of unpopped popcorn" and "dark brown". Using a cast-iron skillet, as suggested, makes them less likely to stick to the pan; if you don't own anything cast-iron, take an oil-dampened paper towel and rub it on the bottom of a frying pan before heating and toasting the seeds. Since the baking time is so brief (4-6) minutes, you'll want to keep an eye on the oven, too.
Tweaks: You can dry a whole lot of benne wafers on a rack covered with parchment paper; this ensures even, swift drying.

Letters of Intent
Letters of Intent and Student Commitments
How do NAIA schools obtain commitments?
Prospective students can make written or verbal commitments to attend and participate in athletics at an NAIA member institution. An institution is free to develop and implement its own process for obtaining commitments from a prospective student. These methods can include, but are not limited to, formal financial aid agreements, signed estimated offers of financial aid and athletic letters of intent. NAIA eligibility rules do not require prospective students to make any type of commitment prior to participating in an NAIA recognized sport.
When can a student commit to a school or sign a letter of intent?
Prospective students can make a commitment to an NAIA school at any time. The NAIA does not have arbitrary signing dates or time limitations on when a prospective student may commit to a school. While most signings occur in a prospective student's senior year in high school, the NAIA does not prevent verbal or written agreements from happening earlier in a student's high school career. Essentially a prospective student may reach an agreement with a school any time the student (and family) is comfortable with making such a commitment.
What can an institution include on its letter of intent?
The NAIA does not dictate what information must appear on a formal letter of intent. Institutions have the autonomy to develop forms unique to the institution and its academic and athletic philosophy. However, schools are prohibited from including in an agreement language that violates the NAIA Coaches Code of Conduct or the NAIA Code of Ethics. This prohibition includes deceitful promises, deceptive language or false statements about ramifications of a student's commitment.
Does a signed student have to sit out if the student goes to a different school?
Letters of intent in the NAIA are agreements between a prospective student and the school. NAIA rules do not impose any penalties or suspension on a prospective student that breaks an agreement with a school to attend a different institution. Therefore, if a prospective student signed with one institution but did not compete, the student may participate immediately should the student choose to attend a different institution.
How do signed letters of intent from non-NAIA schools apply?
The NAIA does not recognize letters of intent signed with non-NAIA schools or other athletic associations. A student who signs a letter of intent with a non-NAIA school will not face any penalties or suspension should the student choose to attend an NAIA institution instead.
Can a signed student talk to other schools?
Prospective students may communicate with an NAIA school even after signing a letter of intent with another institution. NAIA rules do not prohibit prospective or continuing students from contacting other institutions. However, an NAIA school, when contacted by a student enrolled at another institution, must provide written notification to the student's current school within 10 days of the initial correspondence.
How does a conference letter of intent apply?
NAIA affiliated conferences may choose to establish a conference letter of intent recognition program. A student signing a conference-sanctioned letter of intent with one institution could be withheld from competition for a period of time prior to participating at a different conference member school. Institutions should advise prospective students about the applicability of any conference letter of intent regulations.

How to Make Lowfat Corn Latkes
Using corn in two ways ¯ as a puree and as whole kernels ¯ makes these latkes absolutely delicious. Corn latkes are incredibly quick and easy to prepare, too. You can make them ahead of your Hanukkah celebration and store them, layered with paper towels in a covered container, in the refrigerator for two or three days. Reheat them at 400°F for about 5 minutes.
Use as little oil as necessary to sauté these. Their texture is tender with a delicate crust, somewhat like breakfast pancakes. It's hard to eat just a few of these small latkes. But remember, to keep the calories low, don't increase the portion size!
For a sweet treat, top corn latkes with strawberry preserves or plum jam, which complement the corn's taste. They're also good with savory toppings like fruit-based salsas, roasted peppers, or a light tomato sauce.
Fast, Lowfat Corn Latkes
Special tool: Nonstick skillet
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Yield: 4 appetizer or dessert servings (12 small pancakes)
Keeping kosher: Dairy
2 cups frozen corn kernels
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons flour
3 or 4 teaspoons canola oil
About 1/3 cup nonfat yogurt or sour cream (for topping)
About 1/3 cup strawberry preserves (for topping)
Add corn to a saucepan of boiling salted water, return to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes or until tender; drain well and let cool. Puree 1/2 cup cooked corn in a food processor; a few chunks may remain. Mix pureed corn with salt, sugar, and egg whites. Stir in flour and then corn kernels.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat; pan is hot enough when a drop of batter sizzles when added. For each latke, drop 1 rounded tablespoon of corn mixture into pan. Do not crowd them in pan. Flatten them slightly with back of a spoon. Cook over medium heat for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes on each side or until light brown. To prevent sticking, turn latkes over only when their bottoms are cooked.
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Stir corn mixture before cooking each new batch. Add more oil to skillet by teaspoons as needed. Serve latkes hot, with yogurt and preserves.

We take a close look at mentoring, why it's important, and how it can affect a young racer's career
Last month we took a look at eight critical items that every racing parent should know about, seven of those had directly to do with on-track safety. And while that is the most important aspect of getting your kids started in this sport, it's not the only thing. Often times, young people gravitate to oval track racing because a family member or a friend is already deeply involved in the sport. In these cases, the young racer has, theoretically, a wealth of knowledge to draw from to make their entry into the sport seamless. But there can be a down side.
When 2013 ASA National Champion Dalton Zehr first climbed behind the wheel in 1998 when he was 7 years old, his father, Marty, already had turned thousands of laps in a Super Late Model in their home state of Idaho. Following in his dad's footsteps, Dalton quickly showed he had the mettle to compete in the sport.
After relocating to Florida, Dalton began to regularly compete around the state's paved tracks during the 2000s. The sport was healthy and competition was stiff. Dalton won a ton of races including the FastKids Championship in 2004. But it was really when short track legend Gene Coleman, owner of Coleman Racing Products, took an interest in Dalton five years ago that his racing career matured to the next level.
"Dalton always had the raw talent to be a great racer, but you know it's not always the best to have Dad as the crew chief," says Marty Zehr. "Sometimes an outside voice is just what a young racer needs to get to the next level."
The Zehr boys always had a great father-son relationship, but when Coleman offered assistance to the young Dalton, Marty knew that was just what his son needed to mature as a racer. After all, while he was a successful businessman, Marty didn't have an open checkbook where he could self-fund Dalton to the upper echelon of NASCAR, a practice that has become more common today than many would care to admit.
But at the very heart of it, an open checkbook does not necessarily make a good racer…it's learning from guys like Gene. "I mean who better than Michigan Motorsports Hall of Famer Gene Coleman to learn from," says Dalton.
Spending summers in Coleman's Michigan shop and running his cars in limited schedules around the Midwest, Zehr got to do battle with some of the toughest Super Late Model racers in the country. Those experiences culminated this past season when, at 22, Zehr found himself in the thick of the battle for the ASA Member Track National Championship, a title he would ultimately claim on the strength of 9 feature wins out of 11 races.
There is little doubt that Coleman's tutelage paid big dividends for the young Zehr.
Understanding the importance of this type of mentoring in the development of youth in racing, we decided to do a little experiment and take a couple of young racers, dust off Dalton's old FastKids Championship winning truck and head to a local short track for a little training session.
The Truck
The now defunct FastKids Series was originally designed as a way to get young racers acclimated to full-bodied race cars, while capitalizing on the popularity of NASCAR's then titled Craftsman Truck Series. It's basically a traditional Super Stock with a truck body on it, a GM metric chassis, a 603 crate motor, a full 'cage, and more.
The Track
For years there was a little 1/3-mile racetrack in Clearwater, Florida. Sunshine Speedway, as it was once called, played host to a slew of big name racers over the years before it was unceremoniously closed in 2004 and sold to the State of Florida. The State wanted to build a connector road through the adjoining dragstrip, but when that funding never materialized they turned the oval track into a toll research and test facility for the Florida SunPass system, setting it up as a mock tollbooth.
Fast forward to late 2011 when the state-owned property went up for bid. Robert Yoho, a Late Model racer and auto repair business owner, and his wife, Danielle, won the lease in January 2012. Since then, they have invested a steady stream of cash into cleaning, repairing and upgrading the property, ultimately renaming it Showtime Speedway.
Today, Showtime plays host to a wide range of divisions with some great racing action. Its mildly banked 1/3-mile configuration is perfect for our exercise.
The Professor & His Students
In 2013 Zehr raced against 20-year-old Reagan May almost weekly at Norway Speedway in Michigan. And, in fact, it was Zehr who prevented May from winning her first Super Late Model race. May started racing when she was ten years old in go-karts and raced a number of different cars including one year on dirt, before climbing behind the wheel of a Super Late Model at age 15. While May is an accomplished racer, she is still seeking her first feature win. And Zehr believes that win is just around the corner.
His other student has never turned a single lap in a race car, and in fact doesn't even posses a legal driver's license. But at 15 years old, Robert Fisher is not completely without any racing experience. The nationally ranked BMX racer has been bugging this author to add four wheels to his racing program and after a short meeting at Circle Track's headquarters we thought we could build a valuable story about how to take your child racing for the first time the proper way.
For Reagan, sliding behind the wheel of the truck will help with her car control. While these trucks are obviously significantly slower than her Super Late Model, the metric chassis' roll center location, high center of gravity, and skinny grooved tires will force her to really "drive" it to get some good lap times.
In Robert's case, the truck is a good starter vehicle for those same reasons. "I'm a better racer now, I believe, because I turned so many laps in that truck back then," explains Dalton. "You develop really solid driving skills by racing these chassis, yet the trucks are still forgiving and plus they're cheap to fix."
All that said, practicing the truck will help our young driver develop good habits behind the wheel before he makes that transition to being a young racer. And that's a key point. One of the ideas we are promoting in this article is that beginning or aspiring racers should spend a good amount of time practicing before they ever turn their first lap of competition.
"You need seat time, a person who has never raced before should get a good familiarity with the car, or in our case truck, that they'll be competing in long before jumping into an actual race," says Zehr. If you take the time to really learn the in and outs of the car, as well as the configuration of the track you'll be better off when the green flag drops. For Robbie, he'll log hundreds of laps in this truck before we actually go race it."
If at all possible take your newbie racer out onto the track by themselves, all by themselves. Now we realize that not everyone starting out in this sport necessarily has the funds to be able to rent a track for a private test session. However, check with your track owner, some will be willing to open the gates an hour or two early on an open practice day or even a race day to get a new racer onto the track. The promoters are usually there early anyway plus a new racer means more money for the track.
"There's a good reason why the top racers in the world spend so much time testing," says Zehr. "For a new racer like Robert, it will build his confidence behind the wheel without having the pressure of actual competition. That can come later."
Get Comfortable
Step one before ever cranking the engine over Dalton has Robert sit in the car in full gear. Familiarizing the 15-year-old with where all of the controls are located is critical. This includes everything from the battery switch, starter, and more, but he pays special attention to three items; the on-board fire extinguisher, the window net and the seat belts. Zehr runs over the safety items very carefully making sure his protégé fully understands their function. He then makes Robert get in and out of the car multiple times, always in full gear.
"It's something that I do myself," explains Zehr. "Let's face it, if you wreck and you're on fire the last thing you are going to do is sit in a burning car and take the time to take your helmet, neck restraint, and gloves off before getting out. So I practice in and out of the car with all of those items on. And I make anybody I work with do the exact same thing for that very reason."
Robert had to perform the task multiple times before Dalton was satisfied enough to go to the next step. And that is something that all young racers need to get used to, repetition. By repeating even the most mundane of tasks you can have your future champion form good habits. You want exiting the car quickly to become second nature so that in the case something bad happens, and we hope it never does, but if it does they can get to safety as fast as possible.
Dalton also had Reagan sit in the truck to allow her to locate those same functions. And while she has raced long enough to know how to get in and out of a car quickly it is still important for her to learn the surroundings of the car. After all, not every car has the fire bottle mounted in the same spot.
Walk the Track, Son
Part of this exercise is to help demonstrate how to build a well rounded racer and that means developing skills both inside and outside the car. After receiving a complete and thorough explanation of the truck's operation, the trio head out on to the track and walk around the entire circuit. Zehr says it's at this point where he looks for the spots and markers on the track that allow him to get his bearings. During this walk he pays particular attention to the groove, seeking out lift and braking points, checking for uneven spots in the surface that could upset the car and so on.
"I do this regardless of where I am, even if it's my home track," says Zehr. "When you walk a track you want to pay close attention to the curvature of the turns. A lot of times you can pick out the trouble spots before ever turning a single lap."
While you're walking the track you also want to scan the surface for any debris that could cause a flat tire or worse. This is especially true if, as in our case, you are testing the day following a race. Most short tracks in the country don't have the blowers that NASCAR has to clean the track surface.
Street Car
With the track walk complete, Dalton piles his pupils into his personal car and heads out onto the track. Making laps around the track, he shows the young racers the proper line to take. By making the initial laps in the car it also allows the three to have a conversation about the track's individual idiosyncrasies. Each driver gets a chance behind the wheel of the street car, allowing Zehr the opportunity to critique their line and correct it in real time.
And the fun begins
Dalton and Reagan each take turns wheeling the truck around the 1/3-mile before Robert climbs in for his first laps. When it's Robert's turn, Dalton gets in the street car and makes Robert follow him around the track for several laps before turning him loose. This allows the young driver to focus on the line, see in real time where the braking points are and where to pick up the throttle. Zehr believes this is an essential step in the process of acclimating a new driver to the track and car.
"A little follow-the-leader can really be beneficial. When mentoring a new driver you really want to take a walk before you run approach," says Zehr. "It's about baby steps…walk the track, drive the track, follow in the race car then run solo."
Talk About It
After each session, Dalton spent time debriefing both Reagan and Robert. He critiqued their lines, the way they handled the truck and more.
"When teaching a young racer, it's very important to be clear and specific and give reasons why something is happening. What they are doing and feeling inside the car should be easily relateable to the car's suspension, drivetrain, and more. Plus sharing information is critical to avoiding future mistakes. "
We outfitted the truck with cameras both inside and out. The original intention was to gather footage for a video which you can watch on www.circletrack.com,as well as our You Tube channel. But academy award winning performances from the trio notwithstanding this turned out to be an exceptionally good idea. Robert looked smooth and consistent, getting progressively faster with each lap. As he got more and more comfortable behind the wheel his lap times dropped a total of 3 seconds from the first lap to his best lap, which came in his final session. But when we reviewed the video back at the shop we discovered the he was lifting sooner than he needed to and not using enough brake as he should. Plus he was shuffling the wheel through his hands as opposed to keeping that nice firm grip Dalton explained to him earlier in the day. Correcting these three issues will definitely yield much quicker lap times.
This lesson can also be translated to your own racing program regardless of whether or not you're a brand new racer, like Robert, an up and comer like Reagan or a Champ like Dalton. What you think you are doing behind the wheel may not be exactly what is happening. So the next time you head out for some testing or even in a race, take that GoPro and train it on the driver. What you see may turn out to be the key to getting that win.
Prior to the young racers taking their turns behind the wheel, Zehr intentionally spun the truck to find the limit of its adhesion.
So, How'd They Do?
Dalton set a benchmark time of 15.80. Reagan was a few tenths off of Daltons' time with a 16.40 while Robert's best lap was a 16.73. Obviously, both our young racers will benefit from more time in the truck, and as of this writing they have each made a return trip to Showtime where Reagan and Dalton both raced and Robert (not quite ready for full competition) worked on the truck in the pits. With the benefit of the video, Robert will be able to correct his mistakes and lower those lap times so that when he does compete for the first time he can do so with the confidence and skill required to drive a good, clean race.
Stay tuned for more articles on getting your kids involved in racing in future issues of Circle Track.

White Paper #118 Virtualization and Cloud Computing: Optimized Power, Cooling, and Management Maximizes Benefits
IT virtualization, the engine behind cloud computing, can have significant consequences on the data center physical infrastructure. Higher power densities that often result can challenge the cooling capabilities of an existing system. Reduced overall energy consumption that typically results from physical server consolidation may actually worsen the data center's power usage effectiveness (PUE). Dynamic loads that vary in time and location may heighten the risk of downtime if rack-level power and cooling health are not understood and considered. Finally, the fault-tolerant nature of a highly virtualized environment could raise questions about the level of redundancy required in the physical infrastructure. These particular effects of virtualization are discussed and possible solutions or methods for dealing with them are offered.Read more

Dog Photographers
Pictures not only say 1,000 words, they also do much to adopt out thousands of animals each year at the Fayetteville Animal Shelter.
Photographers are needed to take pictures of available animals to be posted for online viewing by potential adopters. You must be willing to be scheduled and work in a team environment. Writing appealing narratives about the dogs is as essential as getting good photos of the dogs, so if you notice anything unique or funny about a pet your photographing, make sure to tell staff who can add that information to their profile!
Orientation and training is needed to participate in this activity. If you are interested in dog photography for the Shelter, contact us by
or phone at 479-444-3456 to find out when the next new volunteer orientation meeting will be held.
