BAKER � Baker School can expect a visit from best-selling author Sharon Robinson, daughter of Jackie Robinson, the Brooklyn Dodger whose hiring ended modern racial segregation in Major League Baseball.
BAKER � Baker School can expect a visit from best-selling author Sharon Robinson, daughter of Jackie Robinson, the Brooklyn Dodger whose hiring ended modern racial segregation in Major League Baseball.
The class recently participated in a "Breaking Barriers" essay contest, sponsored by Scholastic Corporation and the MLB. Fourth- through eighth-graders throughout the U.S. and Canada wrote essays on overcoming personal barriers with determination, courage and commitment, among other values.
Sharon Robinson, an educational consultant with Major League Baseball, will visit Baker to meet essay contest winner Olivia Hurley, 12, and her classmates in Kim Fountain's sixth-grade English class. Hurley was one of four first-place winners. The contest also had four second-place winners and a grand prize winner.
See Olivia Hurley's first-place essay here >>
Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in 1947, becoming the first black professional baseball player, inspired the contest.
In addition to Sharon Robinson�s visit, Fountain's class will receive 30 autographed copies of her book "Promises to Keep," along with contest T-shirts. Hurley and Fountain will receive a laptop computer.
Hurley was surprised when she got the news.
"When Mrs. Fountain told me, my jaw dropped to the floor," shesaid. "I was not expecting that.
�I don't think mine was any better than anyone else's; that was why it was such a big surprise.�
In her essay, Hurley wrote about how she took control of her self-image.
"When I was younger, I wasn't comfortable with how I looked," Hurley said. "I don't think it�s a problem to be overweight, but if you are not comfortable with who you are, then only you can change that."
Hurley became more active, participating with her aunt and uncle, Angila and Bob Walker, in 5K runs. Through it all, the student maintains a 4.0 grade point average while playing in the school's middle-school volleyball, varsity track and cheerleading teams.
"They were so proud of her; there wasn't a jealousy feeling towards her," Fountain said. "That is how Baker is, and that is what makes Baker special."
Sharon Robinson did not immediately reply to an email seeking further comment on the contest.
Fountain and Hurley have submitted paperwork to contest officials and await word on when the author will visit the school.
In the meantime, the student expressed gratitude for all the people who contributed to the achievement.
"I want to give credit to all of the teachers I have ever had and to my pastors and coaches who have taught me to be the best person I can be," Hurley said.

Project J2008 Part VII Engine Pre-Install PrepPosted in Project Vehicles on January 1, 2009
In Part V of this buildup series we clued you in on our list of drivetrain component we'll be installing in our '68 J2000 pickup. To recap, we obtained a complete '92 4.0L engine, computer, and wiring harness out of a '92 XJ Cherokee from Scotty's Jeep, Truck, & 4x4 in Fontana, California. Also in that issue, we showed you the NV3550 five-speed transmission we got from Advance Adapters and the '84 Dodge NP208 transfer case that M.I.T. Drivetrain Specialists in El Cajon, California, rebuilt for us. However, while it's easy to select a modern fuel injected engine, it's quite another thing to get it wired and fired in the chassis.
First, we had planned on using Painless Performance's new Perfect Engine Management System for the 4.0L engine. We actually put the build on hold for several months while Painless finalized its programming of the Delphi MEFI 4 computer included in its kit. But, while the Perfect Engine Management system would greatly simplify the wiring and would no doubt offer seamless performance, the system was designed around the '97-'99 model year sensors. To make it work on our '92 engine would have required swapping over to the later '97-up distributor, TPS, MAP, and other related sensors as well as a GM-style coil. After totaling it up for our '92 engine the price for the extra accoutrements added nearly $500 on top of the $1,700 (as of press time) price of the engine management system. If this was a higher-end buildup we would have gladly forked over the cake, but as it is, the price for the engine management alone would rival the current value of the truck.
Our next plan was to go caveman and yank the injection and CPS-driven ignition. We put in a call to Holley for a 390cfm four-barrel carburetor, some spring loaded off-road needle and seats, and a 10-inch air cleaner. We then called Clifford Performance, which recommended a Mallory distributor, PN 4760101 for an AMC 258 engine to replace our crank-driven computer-controlled 4.0L unit, as well as Clifford's single-plane 4.0L four-barrel intake manifold, PN 47-4520. Unfortunately, the intake manifold was back-ordered and wouldn't be available by our deadline.
Finally, we received an e-mail from Tony Squier of Hotwire Auto who offered his company's services to pare down our factory XJ harness from an unintelligible mangle of spaghetti to a slick, easy-to-install harness with labeled connections and relays and fuses added as per our request. And it's not just 4.0L engines the company deals with. Hotwire Auto can handle anything from wiring a Dodge Viper V-10 to making a 6.1L Hemi seamlessly mate with a stock JK wiring harness. From modification of factory looms to stand-alone hot rod style harnesses for virtually any engine and transmission, Hotwire Auto can handle it. And the results are way beyond impressive. We received our harness from Hotwire Auto a week after we sent it to the company. You can see the results for yourself. Now we can finally start spinning wrenches on our drivetrain swap.

A very good point and well made too
Thanks for the nice comments
Well as it happened 'Smiley' is a Mk 1 prototype Steam Powered Trooper and he was sent out to the Dinoreich garrison, 'fer a wee bita 'a laugh ye ken...' A proper Mk 2 Steam Powered Trooper was sent out shortly afterwards and he looks to be a much more serious bit of kit.
Flamer (far side), 2 pounder cannon (lower near side) and steam ball bearing catapult (top near side).
The steam ball bearing catapult is a peculiar invention of the New Glasgow naval shipyards. Boiler steam pressure is used to fire worn out ball bearings that would otherwise be thrown away at a considerable velocity. Not really as good as a machine gun, but it would certainly keep enemy heads down.
'Smiley' will have his uses though, troopers on patrol have already discovered that he makes very good mobile hard cover; - not to mention that he doesn't seem to mind at all if he carries all the heavy kit.

Performer displays a round solid steel key ring in one hand and an ordinary house key in the other hand. The only way the key can be placed on the ring is to wind it around the spiral of the steel. The performer simply touches the key to the ring and visibly the key is linked on the ring. The spectator is asked to pull on the key to prove it is actually linked on the ring. IT IS! The magician now causes the key to visibly melt off the ring. The ring and key are once again shown. Again the key is touched to the ring and again it visibly links on the ring! Immediately hand out everything for inspection. They will find nothing. LINK-KEY is one of the most visual solid through solid effects done with ordinary props. Instant reset, no pulls, no magnets, great for table hopping, easy to learn, complete with solid steel key ring, solid brass key, and that special something!

R2 DVD's do not exist for Detective Conan episodes before ep. 135 (so good luck trying to find them... =p). The only format eps 1-134 exist in is in Laserdisc and VHS tape format. Many of which are OUT OF PRINT and have been for a very long time. There hasn't been any reprints done either and many of the R2 DVD's between eps 135-196 have been out of print for about 3 or 4 years now.
What Funi may be doing may seem un-fan-friendly to people who don't get Cartoon Network, but probably will seem very fan friendly to people who do get it.

But not seeing episodes 1-134 at all is better than supporting FUNimation if they're gonna' do this. As for your Cartoon Network comment - I'd much much much rather not see Detective Conan at all than get a twisted, Americanized version. How the version Cartoon Network broadcasts could be seen as fan friendly is well beyond me. I thought at this point, at the very least, anything that aired on Adult Swim would be safe from this sort of thing... guess not.
Again, I'm sure it seems like I'm making this into a bigger deal than it has to be - I realize that. But like I said, if everyone who cares just passes it off, then there's nothing stopping FUNimation from doing this to shows like One Piece, Naruto, Prince of Tennis, Fullmetal Alchemist, or any of the other shows FUNimation very well could end up with - and with those shows, unlike DC, they have to be seen in order. I need to make FUNimation pay for this the only way I can - by not supporting or buying their releases of DC and encouraging everyone else I know to do the same. If it means not seeing episodes 1-134, then too bad for me - I know my priorities, and I'm sticking to them.

I was a bit disappointed with the news of Detective Conan release. I thought they did a great job with Blue Gender, Fruits Basket, Tenchi GXP, and Fruits Basket. Just to put it in simple words Detective Conan was licenced and is being released by Funi as a cash cow. With DBZ being almost finished being released on DVD Funi needs another long series to generate loads of money and that's exactly what their doing. With 3 episodes a disc retailing for $20 the disc it's going to sell well for Funimation with their distribution outlets such as K-Mart and Target.
I sure won't be collecting Detective Conan. You're talking about 100 DVD's that will eat away space and income in the next 5 years. By that time a new media will be introduced just not worth collecting a series such as this IMO. I'll definitly have to check it out on CN when it airs.

The other thing that baffles me is why is Detective Conan going to Adult Swim since FUNimation, obviously, wants Detective Conan to be their next Dragon Ball Z. I mean, if FUNimation didn't like it when Yu Yu Hakusho was on Adult Swim, why are they gonna' like DC - a show I'm sure they want to get as wide a range of exposure as possible - on Adult Swim? I bet you anything they'll pull another "Yu Yu Hakusho" and request that Cartoon Network move it down to Toonami not even a year after it starts running on Adult Swim.

Don't know if this was posted yet but this is what FUNimation officially said on the matter.
FUNimation has confirmed to ANN that they will be releasing the first two volumes of Case Closed (Detective Conan) on August 24th and that volume 2 will contain episodes 53, 54 and 55, the first 3 episodes of season 3.
According to FUNimation representative Jeff Dronen, the inclusion of episodes from season 3 is "To give fans a look at episodes that will not have been seen on television, yet." When we asked how the rest of the series would be released we were informed that it was too early to dicuss release plans beyond the first two volumes.
Although FUNimation is releasing the first two volumes of Case Closed out of order, it appears that Cartoon Network will be broadcasting the series consecutively.
Also due on August 24th is a Case Closed starter set, including both volumes and a collector's box that can hold seven volumes.
So Vol. 1 is correct, Vol. 2 is to get a taste of what won't be airing (yet, which is the start of season 3), and it will air in order on CN.

I... still don't like the way they're going about this... it doesn't sound right the way they're evading answering the question about future releases...
But at the same time, upon further inspection, if Detective Conan... er... Case Closed begins airing on Adult Swim in June for 52 days at 4 days a week, the 52nd episode will air right around the time that second DVD releases... like FUNimation would just pick up where CN left off...
It makes more sense now - I still think FUNimation is shafting the fans in all this - the fans of the original, that is - dub fans who'll watch the changed names and localized version seem to be coming out just fine in all this...
I'm not as burned by this if they aren't actually producing the episodes out of order - it's one thing to release two seperate parts of the show yet spaced out so that they can fill in the gaps and no one will know the difference after the fact, but it's another to pull a Cardcaptors and produce the episodes out of order - as I thought would happen. I guess I'm okay with this... it still seems like the fans are getting needlessly shafted just so the dub fans don't have to wait a few months for the third season DVDs... I guess I'll see how this plays out from here to decide if I buy FUNimation's releases...

The dub people market is more important than the sub people market. I thought people knew this by now.
And of course they're not going to say anything about future releases yet if it's too early, because they probably haven't made a decision on it yet.

What? I am washed up!
Hmm. I've never seen the series, so you could say I don't care. But I am interested in it, but considering my level of poorness it'd take a very good release to get me buying. Unfortunately this is not it. Anything less than 5 or 6 episodes per disk is no thanks and this BS release is a big turn off too.
Thanks, but again: no thanks. Maybe when I see the boxsets cheap in a few years time.

Movie 8 was recently released on DVD in Japan, and sure enough, a not to be named fansub group has pounced on it. It was really kind of odd. The murder occurs and gets solved in less time than a TV episode would have taken, and the rest of the movie deals with the Kaitou Kid, who has little to nothing to do with the actual case. Go figure. Still, since I haven't seen any of the TV episodes he's in or movie #3 (subbed, anyway), it was my first chance to see the Kid in action. He's definitely a worthy opponent for the little brainiac. Cool stuff. Now if they would just put Heiji into one of the movies so I could see the rival detective in action...
Spoiler for only read this if you really want to know:

Hattori Heiji is featured prominently in Movie 7, and has a guest appearance in Movie 3. Movie 8 though has to be the worst Conan movie evar though. Movie 9 is due out in April. It better be better than Movie 8 was.

I am confused about the order of DVD. I would like to know if dvd has been released to the last ep.
Actually, the dvd starts with season 4? Then season 5 and that is it. Nothing after or before. What happened?
I would like to know the ending. Does anyone know if Jimmy Kudo actually turn back to his teenage self? What happen when Rachel find out?

Marketing people have this theory that if the same episodes are out on DVD (new) and on TV (new) at the same time, one or the other will suffer. So, since Conan is mostly episodic, series 1-2 (eps 1-52 or so) aired on TV and series 4 came out on DVD as a "see the episodes that aren't on TV yet!" kind of thing, with the first DVD of series one also coming out as an introduction. The problem, though, is that Conan bombed on TV - or at least failed to get the massive ratings that Cartoon Network wanted, so it got shunted off to the time slot ghetto and no additional episodes were ordered for broadcast.
Of course, the episode order is weird thanks to the Japanese reshuffling episodes in order to not cliffhang two parters on a single tape/LD, so the US/German/etc. airing order is different from the US one.
What this means is that all of these series 4-5 "get them on DVD first" episodes were already in the can, so they came out first. Funimation is now going back and releasing series 1 on DVD, and series 5 as well (and I want to say with an increased episode count all around).
SHINICHI (who the fuck is Jimmy?) does occasionally get big again through various means, including getting drunk while on cold medicine and taking some experimental drugs, but it's always for a short period of time. Ran (who's rachel?) has worked out Conan's identity a few times, but Conan always sets up some kind of ploy to convince Ran that they're not the same (such as having Professor Agase call Ran using the voice changing bowtie).

Can grape varieties such as Carmenere, Montepulciano, or Tempranillo offer something new and different to California wines? No one knows now, but University of California viticulturists are evaluating them, with a host of other Southern European varieties, for their performance in the San Joaquin Valley.
Jim Wolpert, chairman of the Department of Viticulture and Enology and viticulture specialist at UC, Davis, told growers at a symposium at Easton that any change in varieties will be evolutionary but the SJV will likely play an important role, since most of the tonnage comes from there.
Wolpert noted that although coastal counties enjoy wide consumer acclaim, they produce only about one-quarter of the tonnage of the state's crush, while valley counties make up the remaining three-quarters.
Trends in varietal changes are emerging, he said. Of the 36 red varieties listed in acreage statistics, nine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Rubired, Barbera, Grenache, and Ruby Cabernet) make up 90 percent of the red wine grape acreage.
Since about 1995, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot have increased by 98,000 acres, or more than half the increase of all reds. Syrah has also gained, growing from 100 acres in 1982 to 14,700 in 2003.
"The story for whites is much simpler," he said. Chardonnay acreage more than quadrupled from 22,000 acres in 1982 to more than 97,000 acres in 2003, while Chenin Blanc and French Colombard dropped sharply.
This, he continued, begs the question about a role for new varieties. "There's been an increase in total number of varieties on which statistics are now being kept, a total of 61 (36 red and 25 white). Many old and inferior varieties have been eliminated, not only from statistics but entirely from the field, and new ones, with better recognized quality have taken their place."
Consumer claims
After interviews with industry leaders, Wolpert said he sees multiple perspectives in play. One is from consumers who claim they want something other than the big four of Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel (red and white), even though the four continue to be the biggest sellers.
Growers have tended to embrace the idea of something new and support the study of new varieties from elsewhere in the world.
Winemakers have mixed opinions. Some, agreeing with growers, would like to see additional varieties, even though at the same time, they see marketing difficulties in getting consumers accustomed to spelling or even pronouncing new variety names.
Winemakers, Wolpert learned, are most interested in having a selection of new varieties that could be blended with the big four to produce wines more interesting and palatable to the public. "Varieties such as Italy's Aglianco and Montepulciano, or Portugal's Touriga Nacional," he said, "might make a Cabernet more flavorful without the consuming public have to pronounce a new variety name or to understand its wine attributes."
A current example of blending is Cabernet Sauvignon with Muscat of Alexandria for a wine with something different.
Variety trials
With that in mind, Wolpert joined with Davis colleagues and SJV farm advisors to set up initial trials in 2004 with 20 red European varieties at the Kearney Agricultural Center at Parlier. About 50 vines of each are planted.
"We want to do these trials right in the heart of the SJV at first and then later branch out to other locations." The effort is funded by the USDA Viticulture Consortium and the American Vineyard Foundation.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Ruby Cabernet, and Syrah are included as standards well-known in the valley, along with new clones of both Grenache Noir and Durif (Petite Sirah), which also have been widely grown in the valley. From France are Carmenere, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cinsaut, and Tannat. Italian varieties are Aglianico, Montepulciano, and Freisa. Tempranillo from Spain is known in the SJV as Valdepenas, but vines in the trials are new clones. The selections are rounded out with Tinta Amarilla and five other Portuguese varieties used for port production.
Wolpert said yield, quality, and growth traits will be monitored along the way, and he expects several of the first group will be dropped. Other varieties will be added if the grower and vintner community is interested in them.
Geneticists are also at work on the invisible components of a vineyard, the rootstocks that provide improved pest resistance, to match with future vineyards, whether planted to new or traditional varieties.
Symposium speaker Peter Cousins, grape rootstock breeder and geneticist with USDA-ARS at Geneva, N.Y., said he is working with other USDA scientists and University of California breeders to come up with rootstocks that are primarily resistant to aggressive rootknot nematodes.
The development and screening of potential new materials, funded mostly by USDA but also supported by California grape organizations, is done year round at Geneva and promising examples are brought to California for more evaluation. The process from initial selection to release of a final variety takes at least 10 years.
Their approach also is guided by selection of materials best suited to the San Joaquin Valley and other California grape growing regions and materials that are improvements on Freedom and Harmony rootstocks.
Rootknot focus
Cousins, a native of Ceres, Calif., and graduate of UC, Davis, said the focus on resistance to rootknot is because most of the grape acreage in the U.S. is in SJV counties and it is the primary pest in those locations. The removal of methyl bromide and restrictions on other nematicides, plus the nematodes' ability to develop new, more resistant forms, all further accentuate the need for new rootstocks.
"Rootknot nematodes are a triple threat to vineyards," he said. "Not only do the knots they form reduce the ability of the vine to take up water and nutrients, they also remove water and nutrients that would have gone to the vine, and they provide an entry point for secondary pests and pathogens."
Cousins challenges his new selections with populations of more aggressive rootknot nematodes collected by UC researchers from California vineyards. His task is to ultimately combine resistance to these populations, as well as common rootknot, with the desired horticultural traits of Freedom and Harmony.
Since laboratory-grown seedling selections made in New York are eliminated if they contain any rootknot egg masses, only 1 to 10 percent of the individuals advance to field testing in California. Cousins works with Duarte Nursery and other nurseries to speed up the process to observe horticultural traits.
"Our goal is to eventually supply materials for large rootstock trials," he said. Plants grafted to Syrah and set out in the spring of 2005 in Fresno County and elsewhere in the SJV are the products of the past five years of screening he has done.
Wild grape sorting
Meanwhile, Cousins is sorting for rootknot resistance through a dozen wild grape species native to the eastern or southern U.S. and Mexico. He said he is using them to discover stronger resistance that will defend against the stronger populations brought about by years of use of Freedom and Harmony. In a matter of time, any new resistance from a different source will also encounter new, stronger nematodes.
"The way to keep ahead of nematodes is to keep identifying new sources of resistance. I'd like to say it doesn't mean having to switch over to new rootstocks, but I'm afraid it does. As nematodes are capable of evolving new resistance, we likely will have to switch to a different source for a different specificity."
One eventuality to keep the pests off balance may be replanting and rotating through three rootstocks having different types of resistance, then returning to the first.

Back To School Tax Free Holiday
As posted on July 29, 2014 on georgia.gov
It's back-to-school time! That means Georgia's sales tax holiday is almost here. This Friday, August 1 and Saturday, August 2, Georgia residents can take advantage of tax-free items during their school shopping. The Georgia Department of Revenue broke down these tax-free items into three categories:
Clothing and Footwear
Most clothes with a sales price of $100.00 or less (per item) will be sales tax exempt. However, keep in mind this doesn't include jewelry, handbags, umbrellas or watches.
Example of items that will have no sales tax include:
- Baby clothes (but not baby bibs)
- Belts/suspenders
- Blouses
- Dresses
- Diapers
- Ear muffs
- Helmets
- Lab coats
- Pants
- Scarves
- Shirts
- Skirts
- Socks
- Sweaters
- Vests
This category includes computers, computer components and prewritten computer software. You can buy these for noncommercial home or personal use, but the sales price must be $1,000.00 or less per item.
Some examples that fall under this category are:
- Batteries (for computers)
- Car adaptors
- Data storage devices
- Docking stations
- Keyboards (for computers)
- Microphones
- Modems
- Mouses
- Scanners

Let Politicians Know That Startup Jobs Count Too
from the but-politicians-ignore-us dept
Similarly, when there were plans for "job creation" through investing in broadband, we noticed that most of the plans seemed to really be about handing money to big companies, often at the expense of the small startups and next generation of internet companies who actually create sustainable job growth. As was discussed in the recent letter from entrepreneurs to Congress about PROTECT IP, new businesses and startups are really a key in creating jobs.
So it's great to see that Chris Shipley (who was among those who participated in the PROTECT IP letter) has created a wonderful new site called StartupJobsCount.org, where she's trying to help show that when we're talking about job creation, startups and entrepreneurs should not be left out of the equation. She's asking entrepreneurs to step up and say how many jobs they've created in the last five years:
Entrepreneurs are the engine for economic growth and jobs creation. Virtually all of the growth in U.S. jobs has been driven by companies that are less than 5 years old.If you're an entrepreneur, I urge you to stand up and be counted.
Now, it's time to put some real numbers behind the conventional wisdom! If your company is less than 5 years old and is employing one or more people, stand up and be counted

Federal Resources for CD Banks and CDFIs
CDFI Fund Programs
CDFI Certification - In order to access funding for many CDFI Fund programs, a CDFI must be certified by the CDFI Fund. To be certified a CDFI must be a legal entity; have a primary mission of promoting community development; be a financing entity; provide development services; principally serve one or more eligible target markets; be accountable to the target markets served; and not be either a government entity or be controlled by a government entity. CDFI Fund Programs requiring certification include: Financial Assistance (FA), Technical Assistance (TA), Bank Enterprise Award Program (BEA), Native American CDFI Assistance Programs (NACA), and New Markets Tax Credit Program (NMTC). The CDFI maintains a list of certified CDFIs on its Web site.
Bank Enterprise Awards Program - Through the Bank Enterprise Award (BEA) Program, the CDFI Fund supports financial institutions around the country that are dedicated to financing and supporting community and economic development activities. The BEA Program complements the community development activities of insured depository institutions (i.e., banks and thrifts) by providing financial incentives to expand investments in CDFIs and to increase lending, investment, and service activities within economically distressed communities. Providing monetary awards for increasing community development activities leverages the Funds dollars and puts more capital to work in distressed communities throughout the nation.
Community Development Financial Institutions Program - Through the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Program, the Fund uses federal resources to invest in and build the capacity of CDFIs to serve low-income people and communities lacking adequate access to affordable financial products and services. The Fund provides monetary awards for financial assistance (FA) and technical assistance (TA) through the CDFI Program.
New Markets Tax Credit - The New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program was created to spur growth in distressed communities by catalyzing private sector investments that create jobs and enhance access to capital for small businesses and community development. The CDFI Fund allocates tax credit authority to Community Development Entities (CDEs) that provide tax credits to investors. The proceeds of these investors' investments are used by CDEs to finance business and real estate developments in low-income communities. A CDE is any duly organized entity treated as a domestic corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes that: (a) has a primary mission of serving, or providing investment capital for, Low Income Communities or Low-Income Persons; (b) maintains accountability to residents of the low-income community through their representation on any governing board of the entity or any advisory board to the entity; and (c) has been certified as a CDE by the CDFI Fund. Certified CDFIs and SBA designated SSBICs are automatically qualified as CDEs.
Native American Initiatives Program - The Native American Initiatives Program was created to increase the access to credit, capital and financial services in Native Communities through the creation and expansion of CDFIs primarily serving Native Communities. The Program has two principal components. Expanding Native Opportunities (ENO) is a training initiative focused on increasing the number of Native CDFIs, strengthening the operation capacity of existing Native CDFIs, and guiding Native CDFIs in the creation of important financial education and asset building programs for their communities. Through the Native American CDFI Assistance Program (NACA), the CDFI Fund provides funding to build the community development capacity of Certified Native CDFIs, Emerging Native CDFIs, and Sponsoring Entities, and to increase access to capital in Native Communities. Funding is offered for technical assistance (TA) and financial assistance (FA).
CDFI Bond Guarantee Program - This program provides federal guarantees to bonds issued by CDFIs that make investments for eligible community or economic development purposes. The program is designed to provide a source of long-term (up to 30 years), patient capital to CDFIs to support their lending and investment activity. Up to 10 bonds, in increments of at least $100 million, not to exceed $1 billion, may be issued annually. More information about the CDFI Bond Guarantee Program may be found on the CDFI Fund's website at www.cdfifund.gov/bond.
Capacity Building Initiative - Industry-wide training will target key issues currently affecting CDFIs and the communities they serve, including affordable housing and business lending, portfolio management, risk assessment, foreclosure prevention, training in CDFI business processes, and assistance with liquidity and capitalization challenges. The Initiative will also offer direct on-site technical assistance and individualized capacity-building plans and will focus on extending CDFI coverage to underserved communities, especially in rural areas. Recent initiatives include training and technical assistance for small and emerging CDFIs, financing community health centers, preserving and expanding CDFI minority depository institutions, and continuing native CDFI growth and excellence. Resource Banks and trainings can be accessed through the CDFI Fund's website.
The State Small Business Credit Initiative is a $1.5 billion initiative that is expected to help spur up to $15 billion in lending to small businesses. Under the State Small Business Credit Initiative, participating states will use the federal funds for programs that leverage private lending to help finance small businesses and manufacturers that are creditworthy, but are not getting the loans they need to expand and create jobs. The State Small Business Credit Initiative will allow states to build on successful models for state small business programs, including collateral support programs, capital access programs (CAPs), loan participation and loan guarantee programs, and venture capital programs. Existing and new state programs are eligible for support. Please see the SSBCI Resource Directory for more information.
Community Advantage: Designed to expand the points of access small business owners have for SBA's 7 (a) loan program, Community Advantage is available to "mission-focused" financial institutions, including CDFIs, Certified Development Companies, and non-profit microlending intermediaries that were previously not able to access SBA loans. Community Advantage lenders will be expected to maintain at least 60 percent of their SBA loan portfolio in underserved markets. CDFIs looking to apply to the program should contact their SBA district office. The Participant Guide outlines the application process.

DICE begged for the chance to make Star Wars Battlefront
"Why haven't you spoken to us? What are you doing? We want to make Battlefront."
That was the reaction from Swedish developer DICE when it discovered that EA was in talks with Disney regarding the Star Wars video game right.
The DICE guys Karl Magnus Troedsson and Patrick Bach were talking and I told them we were in dialogues with Disney over this deal," EA Games Label executive VP Patrick Sderlund told CVG.
DICE is a very particular place and they are very proud of what they do and you don't really tell them what to do. I didn't anticipate them wanting to work on a license - they've always been new IP or their own IP. But they were just like, 'we would kill to make this game' and the whole studio started talking about it like, 'please give us this game'.
That's when I called Frank [Gibeau, EA Labels boss] and I realised we had something here. 'If they want it that badly, then the game will be freaking awesome – we have to figure it out'.
So we figured it out, we got them the game and it was that simple. They begged to do it, the opportunity was there and that's exactly why you'll see a game that will be what it needs to be."
Sderlund went on to describe the in-development game as Battlefront done the DICE way".

Perhaps well have another tonight. How healthy is Beckett? That's a major storyline for tonight. The reports are he's lost up to four mph. off his fastball. The Rays handled him earlier in the ALCS.
However, the key to me is scoring early for the Rays. If they let the Red Sox get out to a big lead it will only fuel the momentum they created by stealing Game 5. The Red Sox believe they can come back as they did against the Yankees (2004) and Indians (2007), and the Rays have to quash that belief.
The Rays know they let Game 5 get away. They know this series should be over. But, it isn't. They lost and must not lament. If they do, they'll play again tomorrow, and that's not to their advantage.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the fourth time in five years the MIT women's basketball team was the recipient of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Sportsmanship Award. Voted upon by the league's student-athletes, the award recognizes the team that best demonstrates the ideals of the NEWMAC and its Code of Conduct.
"Our team takes a lot of pride in our sportsmanship," commented co-captain Lauren Sascha Burton. "We think it's a very important part of being an excellent competitor and we are excited to be recognized by our peers again."
The award caps off a season that saw the Engineers register several milestones, including setting the Institute record for blocks with a tally of 119. The squad ranked seventh in the country in scoring defense (49.4) and was second in the NEWMAC in field goal percentage defense (.339), blocked shots per game (5.0), and three-point field goal percentage defense (.273). Individually, Rachel Hunt finished 19th in the nation in blocks per game with an average of 3.0.

Source: Washington State Department of Agriculture OLYMPIA — The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) has awarded grants to two projects that aim to improve manure management on dairies in two very different ways. The grants were awarded by WSDA's Dairy Nutrient Management Program, a water quality program that enforces the state's Dairy Nutrient Management Act, designed to protect all of the state's water from nutrients in the manure. The grants include: • $20,000 to the Whatcom County Conservation District to evaluate waste storage ponds and seepage rates at dairies. Many manure lagoons in use today were built before current standards were set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service. This project will evaluate older ponds and include a seepage test to see how much of the nutrients from the manure are actually leaching into the ground beneath the ponds and, potentially, into groundwater. • $15,000 to the Washington State University's AgWeatherNet, a network of automated weather stations operated by WSU. Applying manure to frozen ground can increase chances of manure running off the field and into nearby bodies of water. This project will gauge temperature from the top two inches of soil in the Yakima Valley through a network of probes. Farmers can get near real-time soil temperatures through a web interface or by subscribing to a soil temperature alert system to help them time their manure applications. The grants were funded through the civil penalties WSDA issued to dairies that have violated the Dairy Nutrient Management Act. In all, six grant proposals were received. Visit here for more details on the projects that were funded. Back to news

Immigration bill's starts and stops
Every time the House bipartisan immigration group set a deadline this year, its members have blown it.
First, it aimed for the State of the Union. In April, the group said, "Soon." Members struck a tentative deal twice in May and said a bill was coming in early June. Then a key lawmaker bolted, but the group insisted it was still on track.
Story Continued Below
It's now almost mid-July, and there is still nothing the group can show for four years of secretive talks. But given the uncertainty in the House on how to go forward on immigration, it's not too late for the group to help dictate the path of reform — if it acts fast.
( PHOTOS: Pols react to immigration deal)
House Republicans have declared the Senate-passed legislation dead on arrival, and two House committees have cleared five separate bills — which Democrats hate — to reform pieces of the current system. Republicans have an all-hands-on-deck meeting on Wednesday to discuss various options.
Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said in a memo Friday that his chamber "may" start considering border security bills while reviewing other immigration plans. Leadership's strategy could mean either moving each bill separately through the floor or bundling the committee-approved measures into a larger package for a full floor vote.
Republicans could also decide to take up take the House bipartisan bill, when it's released, and pick it apart. Putting the Senate-passed bill through House committees and letting members rewrite it is another option, although that now seems more unlikely.
Or they could do nothing.
( Also on POLITICO: Boehner: No vote on Senate immigration bill)
Given that there's no obvious path forward, the bipartisan group of seven — formerly eight — feels there's an opportunity to find a sweet spot between the two parties.
"It's pretty clear that the Senate bill, as it stands, has little chance to pass the House," group member Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) told POLITICO. "So ultimately, I think you're going to see all the work that we've been doing is exceedingly relevant."
They do have a bill — right now, it's about 500 pages and has been reviewed by House legislative counsel. The group is still cagey on when it will be released, although Kentucky Rep. John Yarmuth, one of the group's Democratic members, said he would be "stunned" if that doesn't come by the August recess.
"There is absolutely no hesitation in moving forward," Yarmuth said in a phone interview. "And still, I think both sides are optimistic that ultimately, this can be the vehicle that gets through the House."
( Also on POLITICO: Reid prods Boehner on Hastert rule)
Immigration advocates also believe that it's not too late for the bipartisan group to wield influence.
"I think having a House bipartisan bill is useful in that it offers an alternative to the two more evident groups in the House GOP: the do-nothing crowd and the play small ball caucus," Frank Sharry, executive director of the pro-reform group America's Voice, said in an email.
The Democratic side — led by California Rep. Zoe Lofgren's office, according to two sources — did the actual writing of the legislation. That's left Republicans to pore over the bill with extra scrutiny before signing off, and they've found several wrinkles in the language that they want to smooth out before its official unveiling.
Lawmakers and their aides have let few details of their reform plan slip outside its tight circle. From what is known, their legislation will be mostly more conservative than the plan the Senate passed.

text: Idaho's Governor Signs Tough "Ag Gag" Law February 28, 2014 09:52 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jim Dickrell Dairy Herd Management Dairy Editor Email Idaho Governor Chuck Otter signed into law today what may be the toughest 'ag gag' law in the nation to prevent animal activist groups from surreptitiously gaining access and filming farm operations. Known as the Dairy Security Act, the bill covers wrongful entry and criminal trespass onto farms, theft of records, obtaining employment by wrongful means , taking recordings of workplace activities without the owner's consent and intentionally interfering with the farming operations. If convicted, individuals face up to $5,000 in fines, a year in jail and financial judgments of up to twice the economic damage they caused, says Bob Naerebout, executive director of the Idaho Dairymen's Association. And, under Idaho "aiding and abetting" laws, organizations that employ such offenders can also be held liable. The bill cleared the state House of Representatives earlier this week on a 56-14 vote. It was passed by the state Senate 25-10 earlier this month. In signing the bill, Gov. Otter released the following statement: "Senate Bill 1337 is about agriculture producers being secure in their property and their livelihood. My signature today reflects my confidence in their desire to responsibly act in the best interest of the animals on which that livelihood depends. "No animal rights organization cares more or has more at stake than Idaho farmers and ranchers do in ensuring that their animals are healthy, well treated and productive." Back to news

Jiles gets his offer
This past weekend, Clinton (Miss.) junior Cedric Jiles made his second unofficial visit to Mississippi State and caught the Bulldogs' initial scrimmage of the spring. The 5-foot-10 and 170-pound cornerback left campus, however, with a different view of the Bulldogs on his second visit.
"I got some real good news on my second visit and they offered me," said Jiles. "That was pretty exciting. They told me if I wanted to play football at Mississippi State then I would have a scholarship there. So that was great news to hear."
During his visit to MSU, Jiles took the opportunity to watch the Bulldog defensive backs in action during the scrimmage.
"That was nice to watch them go hard in practice," said Jiles. "It was pretty exciting to see how intense they were. I watched Johnthan Banks and Nickoe Whitley a lot and both of them were doing pretty good. Both were pretty aggressive and also good in coverage."
Also owning an offer from Southern Miss, Jiles has taken in junior days at Mississippi State and Southern Miss. Next month he plans to visit another in-state program as well.
"I am going to visit Ole Miss on April 16th and catch their spring game," said Jiles. "I have not visited them yet and I want to check out their program. That is my only other visit coming up that I know of right now."
Next month will see Jiles and his Clinton mates returning to the gridiron for spring football. As a junior, Jiles had 81 tackles with two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), three fumble recoveries and 10 pass breakups.
"We start up around the middle of April," said Jiles. "I am ready to get started and get back comfortable with my teammates and start hitting the weights. We lost some good seniors so we all have to step up. Personally, I just want to get better at everything and perfect my game."
And concerning his recruitment and newest offer, Jiles said he still plans the slow approach to that process.
"I am just taking it all slow and visiting schools to give me a better idea," said Jiles. "I think it is best that way so you can make a decision that you feel 100 percent comfortable with. So I am just waiting to see how things work out and enjoying things right now."

AltaMadison needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 95 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
Alta Investors
We are a financial investment firm launching this summer. Our edge includes technology and innovation, and we want to communicate a forward-thinking approach to an entrenched industry.
Our target audience are successful executives, entrepreneurs, and other high-profile professionals. Most new clients will be referrals, which gives a sense of exclusivity. Logo will not necessarily be used for marketing, but will appear on all communications.
We are visualizing a couple of snow-capped mountain peaks, one in the forefront the other in the background. The design should be abstract with minimal details.
Colors are green (website using #447722 for text), slate grey and blue. Text should say "Alta Investors".
Keep logo and text separate, contained within a square shaped layout.
We like the stylized look of SkyBridge Capital's logo (http://www.skybridgecapital.com/).

More than 300 stepped up to the plate, entering their desserts to the 2nd annual Sun Sentinel Blue Ribbon Thanksgiving Bake-Off, sponsored by Publix.
But, only six were chosen as finalists.
And, it was Towana Bonaparte that won.
Bonaparte's Cranberry orange pecan bars might best be described as a meeting of Massachusetts, Florida and Georgia with each state represented by an ingredient.
The bars are a specialty of her 91-year-old grandmother, Lula Anderson, who lives in Newton, Ga. When her grandmother started to show early signs of dementia a few years ago, the family finally started writing down her recipes.
"It's something that she'd make every time we'd go her house," says Bonaparte, 33, a bookkeeper in the technology department of the Broward County School Board. "I don't care what was going on. It if was funeral, she was making it. If it was a holiday, she was making it."
Like the other six finalists, Bonaparte's dessert presents the flavors of Thanksgiving in a novel way.
Bonaparte says she was shocked to take home first prize of a $250 Publix gift card. "Because everybody's presentation was so great and here I come with my little Pyrex dish and aluminum foil," she says. "I'm thinking 'Not this time, but maybe next time.'"
Judges – Wes Bonner, Apron's resident chef; Josh Gripper, pastry chef at The Dutch in Miami Beach; Lenore Nolan-Ryan, owner of a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea cooking school and catering; and myself — loved the unique flavors of the bars. While they may not a Thanksgiving dessert centerpiece, they're perfect alongside pumpkin or pecan pie. They'd also be a great addition to holiday cookie trays.
Second-place winner was Bonnie Hoffman of Boca Raton, who took home a $100 Publix gift card for her Cranberry apple pumpkin bundt cake with maple glaze and sugared pecans. A third place prize — one free cooking class at Publix Aprons Cooking School in Plantation — was awarded to Jan Kerlin, of Plantation, for her Luscious chocolate pecan pie with coffee cream.

major macro economic indicators
|GDP growth(%)
|Inflation (yearly average, %)
|Budget balance (% GDP)
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(f): forecast
- Eurozone membership
- High level of political and social development
- Diversified economy
- Integrated in European production chain
- Current accounts in surplus
- Small domestic market
- Ageing population and demographic growth at a standstill
- Dependent on regional economy and on automotive industry
- Heavy debt burden
- Inefficient public-sector enterprises
- Convalescing banking sector
- Slow administrative and judicial procedures
Vigorous growth limited by the size of the market
Growth reached its highest level in ten years in 2017 thanks to growing employment levels and rising real wages, which stimulated domestic demand. Slower momentum in investment and private consumption could reduce growth in 2018. Growth is still broadly dependent on exports and integration in European value chains. The over-indebtedness preceding the 2013 banking crisis will continue to put pressure on this sector, despite gradual restructuring and low interest rates. Robust foreign investment is limited by an ambivalent attitude on the part of the authorities towards the privatisation of state-owned enterprises and cumbersome regulations. Despite everything, investments are expected to increase, thanks to vigorous internal and external demand, especially in the consumer goods and construction industries. They will also be buoyed by European financing in 2018. Like at the European level, inflation is influenced by oil price movements. It will be slightly positive in 2018, thanks to modest underlying pressure on prices and the gradual closing of the output gap.
Public sector restructuring under way
Fiscal restructuring has prompted renewed financial market confidence: Moody's and S&P have upgraded Slovenia's credit rating. The fiscal effort will continue in 2018 via new cuts in current spending and welfare spending, taking into account the ageing population. The deficit will continue to narrow thanks also to higher tax receipts and social security contributions, as well as lower interest rates. These efforts already led to a primary budget surplus in 2017. The low rates and the ECB's monetary easing help reduce the public debt burden, which despite everything remains above the target 60% of GDP. The recovery in growth relied on the restructuring of indebted state-owned enterprises, reform of the banking sector and on attracting foreign investment in a huge privatisation programme. In the financial sector, the banks have been recapitalised and restructured at considerable cost following the banking crisis of 2012-2013. The creation of a bad bank has, since 2016, helped halve the ratio of non-performing loans. However, in order to complete the restructuring of the industrial and banking sectors, of which the State controls about 50% and 44% respectively, privatisation should accelerate: the government had committed to the European Union to sell half its holdings in NLB, Slovenia's largest bank, but ultimately refused an offer considered to be too low. No further privatisation is expected before the 2018 elections. Almost 54% of the public debt, namely 40% of GDP, is held by foreign creditors and the country continues to be characterised by an external export debt ratio above 120%. However, most of this debt is long-term, is 70% denominated in euros, and corresponds to private commitments.
The current account surplus will remain significant
The economy remains broadly dependent on its impressive trade surplus based on European demand and tourism. 90% of exports, which represent 80% of GDP, go to neighbouring countries. Integration in German and Austrian production chains, thanks to the competitiveness of the automotive, electrical and electronics equipment, pharmaceuticals and domestic appliances sectors is behind half of all exports. In 2018, the current account surplus will continue on a downward trend because of rising imports driven by internal demand and increases in the import bill for basic and intermediate products.
A fragile coalition government
Miro Cerar, founder of the Modern Centre Party in 2014, leads a government based on a fragile coalition but which is expected to survive until the parliamentary elections scheduled in April or May 2018. The fiscal consolidation the government is committed to seems to have rendered the three parties forming the coalition unpopular. This political environment is likely to slow the pace of economic reforms in 2018. However, according to voting intentions figures, a new multi-party coalition is more likely than a single-party government. Persistent income inequalities between the capital and the rest of the country continue to be a central issue in these elections. The political challenges of reforming the public healthcare system and the pension system will continue into 2018. The country enjoys the advantages of being in the EU and in the Eurozone, tokens for fiscal and economic stability at times of political ups and downs.

Colts' Wayne is having a season for the ages
Indianapolis Colts receiver Reggie Wayne is on pace for the best season of his 12-year career, and he's on pace for an NFL "age-group" record.
Wayne, 34, has 76 catches for 1,003 yards through 10 games. At this rate he would finish with 121 catches for 1,604 yards.
Wayne's career-best for catches is 111 in 2010. He had a career-high 1,510 yards in 2007.
Hall of Famer Jerry Rice has the most catches ever for a 34-year-old - 108 in 1996. Rice had 122 catches as a 33-year-old in '95.
Wayne admits he didn't have high expectations for the season after the team bid goodbye to quarterback Peyton Manning.
"But once I got to training camp and saw the guys that we had around ... I felt like we had some good things in place," Wayne said. "We had some hungry guys."
Wayne has 938 career catches, 13th most all-time. His 12,711 receiving yards ranks 16th.
The Bills practiced from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursday. Bills fullback Corey McIntyre, who missed most of Wednesday's practice with a sore knee, took part in the workout.
"Corey did most everything," Bills coach Chan Gailey said. "We're going to list him as limited, but he did most everything and looked OK. I think he'll be fine for Sunday."
Cornerback Ron Brooks, who missed Wednesday due to a dental procedure, practiced and should be available Sunday, Gailey said.
The Colts are mostly healthy. Defensive end Cory Redding (hip), safety Antoine Bethea (ankle), cornerback Vontae Davis (knee) and tight end Coby Fleener (shoulder) all have been nursing injuries but all have a shot to play. Davis and Fleener have missed the past three games. Redding declared himself ready to play.
The Bills have been flagged for 14 and 11 penalties in the last two games, respectively. For the season, the Bills have 70 penalties for 573 yards. The penalty total is tied for 25th in the league (in terms of penalty avoidance). The yardage total is 19th. The league average is 64 penalties for 546 yards.
Gailey on the penalties: "I think there are a lot of little mistakes that we are making pre-snap that are hurting us right now. We have to avoid those pre-snap penalties. The post-snap penalties are going to happen. Most of those post-snap penalties in New England were pass interference, illegal contact or something like that. Then we had two or three of those the other day. A lot of these are pre-snap penalties that we just have to get more disciplined in our lines to eliminate that."
Colts offensive coordinator and interim head coach Bruce Arians was fired by the Steelers after last season. Arians had served eight seasons with the Steelers and made three Super Bowl trips with the team.
Asked this week by Indianapolis reporters what he was particularly grateful for, Arians said: "I'm thankful for the Pittsburgh Steelers letting me go to be here. Truthfully, I couldn't think of a better place to be at this point in time and to have felt more needed probably (than any time) in my entire life. So thank you, Pittsburgh."
The Colts rank 14th in rushing, averaging 110 yards a game. Sharing the rushing duties are Vick Ballard, a fifth-round pick in April out of Mississippi State, and Donald Brown, a first-round pick from Connecticut in 2009.
"If you can run the ball well that sets up your play-action pass, which they love to do," said Bills defensive end Chris Kelsay. "It gives (Andrew) Luck the chance to take shots down the field. So we need to shut down the run first and foremost and make them one dimensional. If we can do that then we can pin our ears back up front and hopefully force him into some bad throws, and put them on the ground a few times and see where we turn up."
Sunday's game will be the Colts' 85th consecutive sellout.

New in this Spring!
Spring is my favourite season, I love the lighter evenings, warmer weather and the sense of hope before the disappointment of the British summer. Its also my favourite season for cycling. I firstly started cycling in London in spring and have lasting memories of cycling over the Albert bridge and looking over the Thames on a crisp, clear spring morning.
We always like to get some new exciting products up for spring, these are a few on my favourites...
We are always on the hunt for bags that are not cycling specific but work wonderfully on the bike so was delighted when I came across Kate Sheridan's collection at London fashion week last year. the barrel bag, goes across the shoulder - messenger bag style but is far more attractive and feminine than most messenger bags. And the vintage style rucksack is completely adorable and so comfortable to wear. Both are canvas with super-cute black cloud print and have real leather straps and trims.
We also have the rather smart handbag carrier. This is perfect you those of you who just like to leave the house, jump on your bike and go and not have to worry about too much paraphernalia. Its is really easy to attach to the handlebar stem and then you simply pull back the metal hinged frame and it locks your handbag in nice and securely. It positions your handbag between you and the handlebars so no one pinch it while your riding. I think Gucci and Mulberry would approve!

Lifting devices generally have clear ratings specifying the maximum load they can safely carry. However, the loads themselves don't come with similar labels. Few of the sorts of loads that are moved in a production environment are weighed before the load is lifted. So how can an operator be assured that a particular load falls within the safe capacity of the device?
An answer to this question is built into the "Eagle Lift" line of hand-controlled permanent magnetic lifters from Alpha Workholding Solutions (Hartland, Wisconsin). These lifters offer a feature that the company calls its "Test Talon." Between the "on" and "off" settings of the control handle, the lifter has an intermediate setting called "test." At this setting, the magnet is engaged, but without the additional holding force that achieves the 3:1 safety factor. The force of the magnet at this setting is the rated force alone. The user tests the load by trying to lift it slightly. If the weight holds, then it is within the rating of the magnet. The user then moves the handle all the way to the "on" position to engage the safety margin, at which point the load can be moved with confidence.
That confidence was the main reason for developing this feature, national sales manager Bradley Evans says. The Test Talon aims to help employers who want to realize an environment in which operators can know concretely whether they are working within safe parameters. The feature is available on lifters offering safe working load ratings up to 5,000 pounds.

A pair of distracted driving simulators will be part of an event starting today and running through Friday at Bill's Truck Stop off I-85 in Linwood, NC. The event is being put on by Bennett International Group and the Owner Operators Independent Drivers Assn. (OOIDA) to serve as a driver recruitment and safety awareness event.
It is free and open to the public.
"Bennett's owner/operators transport hundreds of loads on the road every day, and our aggressive safety culture ensures that public safety is always our priority," said Phil Hibbs, Bennett's vice president of safety. "We think these simulators are a valuable tool for helping the public understand the consequences of driving while distracted.""
Bennett is a full-service transportation company offering transportation and logistics services.
The event at Bill's, which will take place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, will offer both truck drivers and the general public the opportunity to feel the effects – and consequences - of distracted driving using both NASCAR and Mustang driving simulators.
For professional drivers looking for work, Bennett will have recruiters on hand to accept applications.
