Not the usual red bean soup I always cooked, added lotus seeds and sweet potatoes. Normally, I like to add either sago or glutinous rice ball (汤圆) to my red bean soup. When I was little, we often had iced red bean soup as my mom needed to prepare red bean paste filling for pastry regularly. We didn't have electricity supply then, bought ice from the coffee shop in the village. It was RM0.20 for a block of ice, now I think it is RM2 or more?
Adding sweet potato in the soup was not in my plan. When I was rinsing and soaking red bean, I found a sweet potato sitting on the kitchen bench. So, why not? Sweet potato was added at the later stage of cooking process to prevent it from assorbing too much red bean flavour. It can also be steamed first before adding into the soup.
Ingredients (5-6 servings):
200g red bean, soaked over night
Handful dried or fresh lotus seeds, soaked over night if using dried
1 medium size sweet potato, peeled and diced
2 Pandan Leaves
1.5 litre Boiling water (add more if desired)
Brown Sugar
- Bring together red bean, lotus seeds, pandan and water in slow cooker's pot. Cook on high for 2-3 hours.
- Add in sweet potato and sugar to taste. Cook for further 30 minutes or until sweet potato is soften.
- Serve warm or chilled.
I like dessert soup but seldom have it as my family has diabetes history, which means I am likely to have it too. I had a health scare during my first pregnancy about two years ago related to gestational diabetes, so this time I have been avoiding sweet stuff and monitoring my diet. Expecting mommies, try to keep your sweet-tooth away for few months too.

Derry zoning board approves more antennas for cell towerBy ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
December 28. 2012 10:16PM
DERRY - The Zoning Board of Adjustments recently approved the addition of three antennas to a 180-foot communications tower on Warner Hill Road despite the objections of several abutters.
The antennas required a special exception from the ZBA because the tower is considered a legal existing, nonconforming use. It is in a zone that does not allow communications towers, but was built before the town's current ordinances concerning such towers were enacted.
The tower itself is owned by SBA Properties, which leases out space to several cellular communications companies, including ATT.
ATT was looking to add three antennas to its existing six on the tower in order to improve 4G service to the town, according to ATT representative Michael Johnson. Overall, there are about 30 antennas of various sizes on the tower.
"Typically, when there is an upgrade like this, there is a corresponding change to equipment on the ground," Johnson said. "The plan is to place the few equipment racks in the equipment shelter that is already on the ground."
The additional antennas won't affect the height of the tower and there won't be any changes to the site, he said.
When asked how often there will be people onsite by ZBA member Ernest Osborne, Johnson said technicians typically only visit once per month.
"A site like this is remotely monitored by ATT," he said.
The landowner who leases some of her property to SBA for the tower said there is constant traffic and noise associated with the tower and she does not want any more antennas added. "The noise level out there is horrible," said Alice Boucher. "When the wind blows and the antennas start to sing, it gets old. If they put up any more antennas, they are going to hear it in downtown Derry very soon."
She also noted that there is no road to the tower and that the right of way runs through her driveway.
"If it was up to me, I would take a stick of dynamite and take care of it once and for all," Boucher said.
ZBA chairman Allan Virr noted that the Federal Telecommunications Act makes it very difficult for the board to turn down a request for additional antennas if there is a demonstrated need.

Smith Helmets: Interested in learning more about Smith Helmets before making your decision? Check out our Learn Center!
Smith LIFETIME Warranty: Yes, you read correctly. Smith stands by their product and will warranty any manufacturers defects for the lifespan of the product. Pretty sweet deal, especially for goggles and helmets. Check out more here: http://www.smithoptics.com/warranty.html for full details.
EPS Hard Foam: Expanded Polystyreme (EPS) is a hard foam interior designed for high impact collisions. Slightly heavier than other types of foam, but this is as safe as your noggin is going to be (even if you wear a motorcycle helmet--but that will be a LOT heavier ;) )
Air Evac2 Ventilation/Goggle Integration:At Smith, they design helmets and goggles to work together as a fully integrated system. For the helmet line, the most important factor in integration is the AirEvac ventilation system. This is the bridge that allows goggles and helmets to function as one system, venting warm moist air away from the goggles, through the helmet climate control system and ultimately away from the head.
ABS Plastic Shell: ABS, short for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, is a lightweight, injection molded plastic that is highly durable and impact resistant.
Hybrid In-Mold Construction: Combining the lightness of In-Mold injection with the protection and ventilation of a bulkier shell. Basically, the best helmets.
Self-Adjusting Lifestyle Fit System: Instead of a dial system with moving parts that can fail on you, this helmet has an elastic band in the back that will expand to a range of head sizes. This makes for a snugger, more accurate fit without having to manually adjust it.
Snapfit SL Ear Pads: Superlight (SL) ear pads are just as warm and quick to snap in or out. Found in top end Smith models.
Safety Standards: ASTM F-2040-00: Meets the standard specifications of protective headgear for snowsports
Removable ear flaps: Soft ear flaps that can be removed for warm weather skiing, or to make the helmet feel a little wider.
CPSC Safety Standard: CPSC is the newest American safety standard for bicycling and skating, this helmet meets this new standard.
CE EN 1077: This is a European standard that has performed testing on these helmets to ensure they function as designed, and that they exceed the minimum standards for snow sports. In other words, they dropped heavy objects on the helmets, and they didn't break.
Padded Chin Strap: Thin padding under the chin prevents chafing and allows for proper fit of the helmet.
Goggle clip: Two lateral guides that keep the goggles in place, and doesn't interfere with the goggle adjustment clips.
Audio System Ready: The earpads of this helmet have zippers that allow the user to input their audio listening device of choice. Skullcandy makes some earpad specific speakers that are very nice, but really any earbuds will fit in there and pump your jamz.

WHEATON – A short while after one of the most physically painful moments of his basketball career, St. Francis senior Jason Pisarski enjoyed one of the most gratifying plays he's made as a Spartan.
Pisarski's steal and fast-break layup with 40 seconds to go Tuesday proved the decisive moment in St. Francis' 56-52 Suburban Christian Conference Blue win against Marmion. At the time, Marmion was clinging to a 52-51 lead.
Pisarksi left the game howling in agony early in the fourth quarter when, in pursuit of a rebound, he instead crashed to the floor hard on his funny bone. But after receiving medical attention on the Spartans' bench, Pisarski returned with his elbow wrapped tight in time to give the Spartans the jolt they needed.
The 6-foot-4 wing said his entire arm was tingling in pain after the fall.
"I didn't know I'd be able to make a winning play [a few minutes later]," Pisarski said. "I'm just glad I was able to go back in the game."
After Pisarki's go-ahead, run-out, Marmion sophomore Jordan Glasgow missed a medium-range jumper, and the Cadets sent Pisarski to the line. He made both free throws for a 55-52 Spartans lead with 21.7 seconds to go.
The Cadets' Alex Theisen then tried a tying 3-pointer but it was well contested by the Spartans' Matt Bonner, and it fell short, ending Marmion's realistic hopes of pulling the upset.
Marmion (6-14, 2-4 SCC Blue) gave St. Francis a bigger scare than in a nine-point home loss to the Spartans to open conference play.
"We had the lead with a minute to go, but it was back and forth the last three, four minutes," Cadets coach Ryan Paradise said. "I thought we took some quick shots that we didn't need to take when we had the lead the first couple times, and then they bounced back. We ended up running some clock off, but they made a good play on the ball and got a breakaway layup, and that was the game."
St. Francis (14-2, 5-1 SCC Blue) is tied for first place in the conference with Wheaton Academy.
"We didn't play as well as we wanted to, but every game is going to be a battle, especially these conference games," Pisarski said.
The Cadets trailed, 44-40, to start the fourth quarter, but scored the first seven points of the quarter, capped by a go-ahead 3-pointer from junior Danny Bicknell.
St. Francis reclaimed the lead at 49-48 on an inside bucket from reserve forward Killian Brown (11 points, six rebounds), who Spartans coach Bob Ward said might have played his best game of the year.
"He's a strong kid and he complements [Kevin] McShea real well," Ward said. "McShea's a really strong defensive player, the type of kid who makes really good, sound judgments defensively and guards a good post kid. Brown is getting better in that area, but he has a lot of real strong, natural offensive abilities – what you saw tonight, getting that ball and just bulling it to the basket."
A driving basket by Glasgow put Marmion up, 50-49, but the Spartans' Tim Zettinger answered with a successful drive of his own to see-saw the score back in the Spartans' favor.
Cadets junior Tyler Maryanski provided the final points of the night for Marmion with a layup to make it 52-51 Marmion with 1:34 to play.
Glasgow (15 points) and Maryanski (14) led Marmion, while Zettinger (13), Pisarski (12) and Brown were the Spartans' double figure
Brown said Monday's grueling workout prepared the Spartans to deal with a gritty Cadets squad Tuesday.
"We had a three-hour practice [Monday], which not a lot of people had because it was Martin Luther King Day," Brown said. "It's all about mental toughness. We woke up early on a day we had off of school and we just came in and dug it out and practiced hard."

Lessons from a colossal cleanup
Sales at the Container Store's most profitable service had stalled. Then a digital makeover changed everything. Business 2.0 reports
(Business 2.0 Magazine) -- Talk about a mess. In 1999 the Container Store, the Texas-based purveyor of trendy baskets, boxes, and other clutter-management devices, had just swallowed the company that made its best-selling Elfa custom closet system.
Container Store top brass justified the multimillion-dollar acquisition with the theory that Elfa would quickly fuel growth at the chain. Instead, sales languished.
This was worse than a minor setback. Elfa, which allows do-it-yourselfers to plan a closet in the store with a designer's help and leave with all the pieces needed to put it together, accounted for an astonishing 20 percent of the privately held company's revenue and was the most profitable service it offered.
The Container Store's management knew that it had to turn things around or a bogged-down Elfa would leave the company in disarray.
"It really scared us," says John Thrailkill, vice president for stores. With aggressive competitors like Home Depot (Charts, Fortune 500) at the low end and California Closets at the high end, there wasn't much room for error.
Thrailkill's job was to figure out how to fix things. A customer service hawk known to swoop into stores unannounced, don a blue apron, and get to work, he dug into Elfa operations and concluded that the system needed a high-tech overhaul; from the sales floor to the stockroom, employees were spending too much time on details that a computer could handle faster and more accurately.
Thrailkill's efforts seem to have paid off. In the five years since the Container Store began using computers and the Web to improve the Elfa customer experience, the company's annual sales have more than doubled, thanks in part to the addition of 17 stores (for a total of 38), but also to reenergized Elfa sales, which have nearly tripled to more than $130 million.
How did Thrailkill do it? First by zeroing in on order accuracy, and then by simplifying the design process and freeing up salespeople to focus more on their customers.
The multilayered approach started with the launch of the company's website, which includes an online design service where customers submit details about their closet space and receive custom design sketches.
Then Thrailkill introduced the Order Center, a Java application that tracks store inventory and helps employees match pieces to orders. "The most important part is that it allowed us to scan every product so the computer would tell you if you pulled all the right parts for that customer," Thrailkill explains.
By the summer of 2003, the Order Center had rolled out to all stores. Efficiency improved, and company sales topped $318 million, with Elfa maintaining its position as the most profitable product line.
But there was more work to be done. Thrailkill's next target was the antiquated system that designers on the floor used to put together custom closets: pencil and paper. Not only did hand-sketching penalize good salespeople who couldn't draw a straight line, but it made it tough for them to adapt when customers changed their minds about how many hanging bars they wanted in their walk-in closet.
To replace the manual method, Thrailkill dreamed up the Custom Design Center, a program that would, in theory, allow salespeople to plan custom closets with just a few mouse clicks. Confident of the idea's potential, he beefed up the in-house IT team and told them to build it.
It didn't quite work out, at least at first. Sometimes items on the computer screen wouldn't transfer to the inventory list. Or pricing wouldn't reflect discounts.
It took months of debugging before the tool was ready to be rolled out to all of the company's stores in June 2004. But once it was in place, according to Thrailkill, the portion of orders containing inaccuracies dropped from an estimated 10 percent to less than 1 percent.
To illustrate the impact of the new software, Benjamin Williams, a Container Store employee in San Antonio, tells the story of a repeat customer who arrived one morning with a mammoth Elfa order, prepared to spend the better part of the day at the store planning five or six closets. She had even brought a sack lunch.
Williams was able to help her complete her task in 75 minutes, less than half the time it would have taken the old way. "She was just floored by the speed and accuracy," Williams says.
It seems she's not alone: 73 percent of customers who make an Elfa purchase come back to buy more. Thanks largely to revived growth in Elfa systems, companywide sales reached $505 million in 2006.
The turnaround may also soon lead to an even bigger sales figure. The Container Store has recently been shopping itself around to potential buyers. Now that Elfa is on track, it might be just the thing to tidy up an acquirer's bottom line.

Counseling and fat prevention is secret to happy marriage
A long-time friend recently reminded me over somewhere around 2000 beers on Friday afternoon that if I had taken his advice years ago, I could be as happily married as he is. He neglected to say that he is happily married for the fourth time.
His theory is, only stay married as long as the relationship is happy. When it ceases to be thrilling for either party involved, amicably dissolve the union with an outof court settlement that had been clearly spelled out in prenuptials. Then move on to the single life until an opportunity comes along to experience unmitigated joy and marital bliss again.
This bozo's secret to guaranteed happiness, get this, is to go to a marriage counselor with your intended before getting married. The idea is for the two lovebirds to learn to live by "the rules of engagement" beforehand so that irreparable mistakes will not be made after taking the vows that clearly state "till death do us part," but conveniently omit, "be it murder or otherwise."
If the intended couple attends together, there will be no misunderstandings. Both will agree in writing to follow the fundamentals of living in harmony as instructed by the marriage guru. This person generally has a perfectly legitimate diploma issued by a certified Internet university hanging on the office wall.
The document tells all who are lucky enough to part with their hard-earned cash at this person's place of business, that the bearer of this certificate is qualified to instruct, advise and council those who are in need of marital guidance. Take notice that nowhere on the document does it say or imply that anyone of any authority other than Internet U, has anything to do with issuing this certificate.
Few people who go to marriage counseling have the nerve to ask the counselor how many times he or she has been married. According to our crack research team most counselors have been married minimally three times.
We can only assume that they operate under the premise of having married so many times that they are aware of at least the important possible pitfalls.
The primary cause for failed marriages, according to my authoritative friend, has nothing to do with lack of communication. Married people generally communicate very well. He claims that "lack of agreement" is the biggest cause of failure.
He says that this is easily avoided by not arguing. That is accomplished by never ever under any circumstances accuse or blame your partner for anything that could be construed as criticism, condescending or accusatory. If your spouse does something that you believe is offensive or needs adjusting, remind them in a gentle way by suggesting that they give their actions some thought.
For instance, if your wife maxes out all the credit cards, and the monthly payment all but drains your checking account, do not scream at her. Simply say, "I'm glad that you are enjoying the purchases you made on our credit cards last month. After I paid the mortgage, utilities, and the credit card bills, there wasn't any money left for food, and it kept my diet on track, thereby preventing me from getting fat." Then you can lovingly say that even your wallet will soon be anorexic.
If she would like to see you contribute to the household chores a bit more, it is not necessary for her to embarrass you by pointing fingers and yelling at you in front of friends and neighbors.
She can simply thank you for tracking mud throughout the house because you don't remove your boots when you return from hunting. Then she can express her appreciation for you not helping with the laundry, dishes or vacuuming. After doing all those chores, she can say that she saved money by not having the energy to go to the gym.
By being kind and suggesting displeasure in a positive way, arguments are avoided, and peace will reign, so my idiot friend says.
Personally, I believe tactics like this are the cause for more shotguns being used after the vows are taken than before. Early demise is often the result of unrealistic behavior in a system that we can't understand.

Joe Miller, Republican candidate in Alaska, hired a paramilitary unit — actual active-duty military members moonlighting as security detail — to defend him from, of all things, reporters. A reporter was detained by this paramilitary. For asking questions.
This has nothing to do with how our civil liberties "could" disappear. They have disappeared. We did nothing about the Patriot Act except cheer it on. We did nothing about warrantless everything except reelect Bush. We did nothing about TSA security theater except look suspiciously at our seatmates. We did nothing about "Free Speech Zones" except frown at the people at conventions clambering for their voices to be heard. We did nothing about police abuses of power except suggest that anyone who was abused had something to hide or asked for it.
This is the world we've bought ourselves. The fact that most of us have yet to pay for it personally is beside the point.
What are these people afraid of, if not the cleansing daylight of public scrutiny?
As it turns out, they're afraid of pretty well everything.
They need a big, swaggering military because we're otherwise at the mercy of…those little countries on the other side of the world whose governments have massive contracts with ours. They need to keep immigrants out of the country, because otherwise, their job skills and way of life aren't attractive enough to compete. They have to deny anthropogenic climate change, because otherwise, they have to find solutions that are beyond their ingenuity and willingness to sacrifice. They need guns, because otherwise, they're at the mercy of all and sundry who happen along.
They need to keep gays and lesbians shamed and marginalized, because otherwise, what incentive would they have to refrain from all the gay sex they want to have (instead of just some of it). They have to keep power out of women's hands, because otherwise, what woman would want them? They have to make abortion illegal, because otherwise, what woman would put up with raising their demon spawn without help? In the women's case, because otherwise, how can they make up for having their own abortions? And oh, how many things must they do because otherwise, they stand no chance of being good enough to be accepted by their gods?
Most of all, for the broad swath of people who vote movement conservative, they need to side with the bullies, because otherwise, the bullies will turn their attention to them. It's a somewhat effective strategy, and one the movement relies upon for support. It still isn't good for anyone.
This bully-ism was especially in evidence at a Rand Paul event where a MoveOn.org protester tried to present Paul with a sign to make him look foolish. This tactic has been carried out by MoveOn protesters elsewhere, to other candidates, and the goal is to, as stated, make the politician look foolish. This particular 23-year-old woman, for daring to make Rand Paul look foolish, was manhandled, then curbstomped by a husky Paultard.
And that ain't all. An Eric Cantor event saw a Democrat intending to ask him questions wrestled to the ground and arrested. After having "RSVP'd" to the event ahead of time.
Why is this happening, with every politician on the Republican side treating questions as dire threats? Why, when someone shows up with a gun at a political rally, is it an infringement of their rights to ask them to leave that gun at home, in violation of their second amendment rights, while simultaneously treating any exercise of the first amendment as an act of terrorism? What are you afraid of, if not being shown to be as foolish as you are, that you have to perpetrate violence on dissenters?
Remember this when your demoralized Democratic base leads to Tea party victories across your country by default, and ushers in this new era of tea-colored brownshirts. Or, you could do what you can right now, and get out the vote, so you have a chance to head this nastiness off at the pass.

The Notebook, a beautiful love story coming to theaters June 25, is based on Nicholas Sparks' novel by the same title. The film stars James Garner as Noah Calhoun, an elderly man who reads from a faded notebook to Allie, an old woman with Alzheimer's disease (Gena Rowlands). Noah's readings spark Allie's fading memory to relive her youth—and an unending love they once shared. Sparks, a best-selling author, has already seen several of his previous novels adapted to the big screen, including 2002's A Walk to Remember, which was embraced by many Christians. Sparks, 38, who lives in North Carolina with his wife Catherine and their five children, says The Notebook was inspired by his wife's grandparents, and their great love for each other. A fitness nut who runs 30 miles a week and has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, Sparks recently talked to us about his book and the upcoming film.
What did you think of the film?
Nicholas Sparks: I thought it was wonderful, a very close adaptation to my novel. This is the third novel that I've had adapted into film, and I thought that of the three this stayed truest to the story that was within the novel. I was very flattered.
How much control did you have over the story and the movie script?
Sparks: None. When you sell your story, you waive everything, you cede total rights. So they could take the book, change the title, change all the characters, change the entire story. That is completely up to the studio.
And you're willing to give that up?
Sparks: You have to. I mean, there are no book sales to studios that don't have that clause unless you are J. K. Rowling or John Grisham or Michael Crichton. They might be able to put their foot down and say I'll only sell this if … But not me.1

Inquiry Learning Ideas for Math and Science With iPads
By Sam Gliksman
The following is the second of a series of excerpts from Gliksman's book iPad in Education for Dummies.
We tend to split science and humanities as though they were separate branches of life. But no matter what profession we choose — artist, plumber, historian, or salesman — we all use some form of scientific inquiry in our daily lives. We learn about the world around us through the same vehicles of experimentation, trial, error, and experience. We use scientific inquiry to learn about the world around us.
Today's interconnected world demands that the doctor, engineer, pharmacist, and scientist increasingly master skills that used to be classified within the domain of the arts. Skills such as communication, presentation, effective writing, among others, are now vital to all walks of life. In addition, scientific inquiry, critical thinking, exploration, and experimentation have never been more important skills than they are today. If we expect to produce independent learners who can thrive in a society that's constantly changing, it's vital that we educators search for opportunities to hone those skills in our students at every turn.

More than any other academic disciplines, science and math draw their meaning by relating to life in the "real" world outside the classroom. They seek to understand the world by inquiry and investigation. Giving children ample opportunities to develop sound investigative skills at an early age is essential to nurturing their ability to think critically and scientifically as they get older. Reading and learning about plants in a book is a far less meaningful experience than planting seeds and watching them grow. If you discuss the various needs of plants and then hypothesize and experiment with differing amounts of sunlight and water, you have a scientific experience that imbues children with a more intimate and fundamental understanding of what it takes for any living organism to grow.
Granting students the freedom to inquire and explore makes them the investigators of life's mysteries. In the process, they are sharpening their all-important critical and creative thinking skills. Technology offers fantastic opportunities for the application of critical thinking skills toward an understanding of real-world questions and answers. It can be used to gather information about the world around us so that we can investigate real-world questions and test their answers. That's the focus of this chapter. You find numerous apps that deliver content about botany or algebra, but I want to focus on how you can use technology to have students experience that knowledge from the inside out.
This chapter looks at tools that can be used with the iPad to help you investigate phenomena and collect data. After you collect that data, you look at tools that help analyze the information and present conclusions. You focus less on apps and instead discuss the "application" of mobile technology within a more inquiry-based approach to science and math education. It should be fun!
Whether it's geometry, physics, or chemistry, scientific method starts with research, discussion, and the development of a hypothesis about the phenomenon being examined. A substantial amount of space in this book is devoted to research, communication, organization, and sharing of information — all important elements in the research and development stage. You start by jumping to the next step: using the iPad for investigating and gathering data for analysis.

Grade level: 8th- to 12th-grade math
Objectives: Have students demonstrate knowledge of mathematical proofs.
Apps/tools: Keynote, Explain Everything app
Following the lesson where math teachers demonstrate the construction of an algebraic or geometric proof, students are given the opportunity to create their own. Using media-based presentations and audio recordings of their own voices, students create and share a narrated slide-show presentation.
Keynote is Apple's presentation app that enables students to build a slidebased presentation with text and media, which they then present live in front of an audience. The Explain Everything app (detailed in Chapter 17) enables students to build and record a series of narrated slides with picture, text, and media content that explains and demonstrates a concept to an audience. Essentially, once students put the slides in the order they choose, they tap Record and step through their slides, explaining, highlighting with color, and accentuating with the laser pointer feature. The Record function also enables students to pause or to rerecord their presentation so that they can practice before presenting it to the class. Explain Everything also includes members' libraries and upload links to such social media sharing sites as Dropbox and Facebook, making student sharing of work easy and manageable.
Students were given the option of using the preceding apps to explain some of the data that can be retrieved from scientific agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Students used the latitude and longitude of approaching hurricanes to learn Cartesian coordinates and plot them. For example, one student provided an explanation of the calculated arrival time of a tsunami across the Pacific Ocean from an image acquired from the USGS. This is also a scenario in which students can use apps such as GarageBand or iMovie to collate specific photos they gather into a podcast or movie and explain what they know or how they apply the concepts to examples in the real world.

Grade level: 4th- to 12th-grade astronomy
Objectives: Navigate the sky for recognizable celestial objects; identify and name constellations, stars, galaxies, and planets.
Apps/tools: iPad 2 (or higher), iOS 5.1 (or higher), Star Walk app
Some of the best science apps created for the iPad are those geared toward the teaching of astronomy. One benefit of these apps is the integration with the built-in accelerometer and GPS information systems that enables users to simply point to the sky to obtain vast updated information about where they are looking. Celestial navigation is made simple through the interactive interfaces that allow the user to turn on and off the available layers of information when pointing at the night sky.
Teaching with the Star Walk app can be as easy as taking an independent evening stroll with the self-lit app in hand and noting the relative positions of the objects in the sky. At the same time, this app adds a robust environment to explore important questions such as:
• Does the sun really rise in the east? Does that change?
• Where do all the planets appear in the sky? How can you tell a planet
from a star or galaxy?
• Can people in the Southern Hemisphere see the same stars as people in
the Northern, Eastern, or Western hemispheres?
• Where do stars go during the day?
Sponsored By
The power of this app can be seen in a very simple activity for children up through adulthood. Ask students, "How many planets are there? More important, how do you know?" Have students point out any objects in the sky that they think are planets, and before they use Sky Walk, ask them to point to any they can see. Ask them to draw where those objects would appear at night, and explain what they would look like.

Apple has tumbled nearly 10 percent from its all-time high amid a batch of negative headlines, but some analysts say investors should buy on the pullback.
The stock was down more than 2 percent earlier in the session, before recovering its losses. Still, Apple remains in correction territory, tumbling 10 percent from its all-time high of $705.07 hit on Sept. 21, the day the iPhone 5 was launched.
Despite the recent losses, Apple shares are still up an impressive 55 percent year-to-date, against a 15-percent gain on the S&P 500.
"In the near-term, there's definitely some consolidation in the name," Shaw Wu, technology analyst at Sterne Agee, told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street." "Negative headlines out there including Foxconnand minor complaints about the iPhone 5 are also causing some concern in the company. Broader concerns with the economy are not helping either."
The stock's decline also put a damper on the overall marketas Apple accounts for nearly 20 percent of the Nasdaq 100 index and almost 5 percent of the S&P 500index .
"Apple broke through the 50-day moving averageseveral times over the last year so that's nothing new," said Brian Marshall, analyst at ISI Group. "'Fundamentals are moving in the right direction and this is one of those periods where we see a consolidation. The stock continues to have legs so I think we'll get up into $700."
Meanwhile, Nomura initiated coverage of the iPhone maker on Tuesday with a "neutral" rating and a price target of $710.
"From 2014, developed market growth is seen slowing to single digits," according to a research note from Nomura. "We expect this transition to undermine margins...We thus believe that iPhone gross margins could contract and this drives our full-year 2014 earnings estimate to 12 percent below consensus."
Still, Wu said investors should take advantage of the pullback.
"With a 10 percent correction, it's right to get back in," said Wu. "When [Apple] does send out the [iPad Mini] invite, the stock will rally…Also, it's interesting that they're reporting earnings on October 25, which is later than usual, so we believe they're setting aside time for a potential special announcement."
While the company has not confirmed rumors of an iPad mini, recent reports claim that the company has alrady placed orders for more than 10 million units of the smaller model. (Read More: Can the Nook Compete in the Tablet Wars?)
Despite recent losses, Apple still remains at the top of the pack in terms of market cap, with a $150 billion lead over ExxonMobil .

. William Peachy and Thomas Prosser. 1876. Photograph 1977 by George P. Landow. [This image may be freely used without prior permission for any scholarly or educational purpose.]
According to Carol Meeks's pioneering study of the railroald station as an architectural form,
York became famous for its railroad stations; each successive one was celebrated in its period. The first was opened in 1841. Unusual pains were taken because it was the pride of George Hudson, the "railroad king," whose home town it was. G. T. Andrews, the architect, had a complicated situation to solve since it was a joint station shared by several companies. Some through lines curved by at one side, others came directly in as spurs. The wings which enclosed the four central spurs were built first and a hotel was added across the end shortly after, thus making one of the first "U" plans. Across the ends of the spurs and parallel with the rear of the hotel was a wide cross-platform, permitting passengers and company personnel to move freely among the four lines without having to cross tracks. The building was accessible on the exterior from three sides.
In the 1870's two experienced station architects, William Peachy and Thomas Prosser, were at work on York's third and present refined Station, using curving lines which required concentrically curved sheds. A refined version of the Newcastle naves was employed. The total diameter was considerably greater but only the central span was wider than those at Newcastle. The width to height ratio is 8:5. Extra height gives added dignity to buildings, if not always to man. The sheds at York are unusually handsome. The five-centered ribs are carefully scaled and the tie rods barely noticeable. These sheds were built at a time when single-span sheds were widely used on the plausible pretext that they permitted greater flexibility. The multiple-span shed at York proved that that type, too, was capable of producing great beauty. It is more beautiful than either of the older ones at Newcastle and Paddington. We should be grateful that these three exist to delight us by their intricate luminous spaces. It is regrettable that so few of them were built.
The expansion by Peachy and Prosse of York Station to thirteen tracks in 1877 made it the biggest station in the world. [GPL and JB].

Niko Kovac will give his Croatia players all the downtime they need to prepare for a World Cup showdown with Mexico after overseeing a four-goal dismantling of Cameroon.
Croatia responded in the best possible way to their opening-night defeat to tournament hosts Brazil by putting Cameroon to the sword in Manaus - Mario Mandzukic scoring twice in a comprehensive 4-0 win for Kovac's side.
While the Africans are eliminated from the finals before meeting Brazil in the last round of Group A games, Croatia are tasked with plotting Mexico's downfall.
The Vatreni must beat Miguel Herrera's side in Recife on Monday to reach the last 16, and Kovac is all too aware of the size of the task after watching Mexico hold Brazil to a goalless draw earlier this week.
"The match against Mexico will be like a final," he told Croatian television station HTV. "We have to get some rest, because a serious opponent awaits.
"Mexico are strong, but so are we.
"The Mexico players are very patriotic, just like us, and they have a great team spirit.
"They play some aggressive football with a lot of pressing. They are strong going forward, but also have some weaknesses in defence, like Brazil showed us."
Ivica Olic opened the scoring against sorry Cameroon shortly before half-time at the Arena Amazonia, with Ivan Perisic and Mandzukic putting the result well beyond doubt following the interval.
Kovac was naturally satisfied with the overall performance and final score but admitted to having harboured early concerns over his team's slow start in the rainforest.
The 42-year-old added: "We weren't on top of our game in the opening five to 10 minutes and Cameroon created some chances.
"But then we found our rhythm. Olic scored and that opened up the game for us. We could have scored even more goals.
"I can only congratulate the players, though. They won in very difficult conditions. It was hard to sit or stand, let alone run around on the pitch."
Bayern Munich striker Mandzukic was suspended and unable to lead the line during Croatia's 3-1 defeat to Brazil last week and revealed he had used the enforced time on the sidelines wisely.
"I had trained hard for this one so that I could put in a strong performance," he told FIFA.com.
"I should stress that this was a team victory, though; goals are the reward you get for great teamwork.
"I don't think we should get too obsessive about goals - the overall objective is winning the game, after all.
"There's still some room for improvement for this team."
Volker Finke, the Cameroon coach, is likely to field an experimental line-up in the Indomitable Lions' upcoming dead-rubber clash with Brazil in Brasilia.
Cameroon were always up against it but life became much harder when Barcelona midfielder Alex Song was sent off for lashing out at Mandzukic.
Yet well-travelled German tactician Finke played down the impact of the dismissal, saying: " It's a tough result to take.
"It's always difficult to play with 10 men, but that's still no excuse for tonight's performance.
"There's no doubt that Croatia were more clinical in front of goal, but Cameroon also had chances to score.
"We need to move on and look to the future, because this team is full of promising players."
Song later apologised for his part in the off-the-ball scuffle with Mandzukic which resulted in the Barca man heading back to the changing rooms ahead of schedule.
In a statement the 26-year-old said: " I'm very sad at the moment as I feel I have let my country and myself down.
"It was a stupid moment and I'm truly sorry. If I could do anything to take it back I would. Please forgive me."

Police seek missing 5-year-old British boy
PARIS (AP) — Police are searching for a 5-year-old British boy with a severe brain tumor whose parents took him out of a British hospital and were last seen in France.
The press office for Jehovah's Witnesses said Friday that Ashya King's parents were followers, but that there was no indication that the family's decision was motivated by religious convictions.
Interpol said it was seeking information on the boy's whereabouts. The family was believed to be in France. Parents Brett King, 51, and Naghemeh King, 45, removed the boy Thursday from Southampton General Hospital in Britain and took a ferry to France with their gray Hyundai and the boy's six siblings, the international police body said.
French Prosecutor Eric Bouillard of Cherbourg, where they were last seen, said authorities opened an investigation for suspected kidnapping and "failure to carry out parental duties."
The Hampshire police website said the boy was likely to be in a wheelchair or pushchair, can't communicate verbally, and is immobile.
"If we do not locate Ashya today there are serious concerns for his life," said Det. Supt. Dick Pearson, a Hampshire police investigator, in an Interpol statement. "He is receiving constant medical care within the U.K. due to recent surgery and ongoing medical issues."
"Without this specialist 24-hour care, Ashya is at risk of additional health complications which place him at substantial risk," he said.
Authorities in France and Britain set up telephone hotlines to take in tips from the public.
"It's a race against time," said Pierre-Henry Brandet, the French Interior Ministry spokesman. He said it was unclear whether the child was still in France, and said the couple's final destination could be another country.
The press office for Jehovah's Witnesses said it wasn't aware of the facts of the case, but said Jehovah's Witnesses are encouraged to seek the best medical treatment for themselves and their children.
Jehovah's Witnesses accept medical treatment, but believe the Bible forbids some treatments and they often refuse blood transfusions.

Crystal structure of N370S Glucocerebrosidase at acidic pH.
Structural highlights
[GLCM_HUMAN] Defects in GBA are the cause of Gaucher disease (GD) [MIM:230800]; also known as glucocerebrosidase deficiency. GD is the most prevalent lysosomal storage disease, characterized by accumulation of glucosylceramide in the reticulo-endothelial system. Different clinical forms are recognized depending on the presence (neuronopathic forms) or absence of central nervous system involvement, severity and age of onset.[1] [:][2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] Defects in GBA are the cause of Gaucher disease type 1 (GD1) [MIM:230800]; also known as adult non-neuronopathic Gaucher disease. GD1 is characterized by hepatosplenomegaly with consequent anemia and thrombopenia, and bone involvement. The central nervous system is not involved.[:][48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [57] Defects in GBA are the cause of Gaucher disease type 2 (GD2) [MIM:230900]; also known as acute neuronopathic Gaucher disease. GD2 is the most severe form and is universally progressive and fatal. It manifests soon after birth, with death generally occurring before patients reach two years of age.[58] [59] [60] [61] [62] [63] [64] [65] Defects in GBA are the cause of Gaucher disease type 3 (GD3) [MIM:231000]; also known as subacute neuronopathic Gaucher disease. GD3 has central nervous manifestations.[66] [67] [68] [69] [70] [71] [72] Defects in GBA are the cause of Gaucher disease type 3C (GD3C) [MIM:231005]; also known as pseudo-Gaucher disease or Gaucher-like disease.[73] [74] [75] [76] [77] [78] Defects in GBA are the cause of Gaucher disease perinatal lethal (GDPL) [MIM:608013]. It is a distinct form of Gaucher disease type 2, characterized by fetal onset. Hydrops fetalis, in utero fetal death and neonatal distress are prominent features. When hydrops is absent, neurologic involvement begins in the first week and leads to death within 3 months. Hepatosplenomegaly is a major sign, and is associated with ichthyosis, arthrogryposis, and facial dysmorphism.[79] [80] [81] [82] [83] [84] Note=Perinatal lethal Gaucher disease is associated with non-immune hydrops fetalis, a generalized edema of the fetus with fluid accumulation in the body cavities due to non-immune causes. Non-immune hydrops fetalis is not a diagnosis in itself but a symptom, a feature of many genetic disorders, and the end-stage of a wide variety of disorders.[85] [86] [87] [88] [89] [90] Defects in GBA contribute to susceptibility to Parkinson disease (PARK) [MIM:168600]. A complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscular rigidity and postural instability. Additional features are characteristic postural abnormalities, dysautonomia, dystonic cramps, and dementia. The pathology of Parkinson disease involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies (intraneuronal accumulations of aggregated proteins), in surviving neurons in various areas of the brain. The disease is progressive and usually manifests after the age of 50 years, although early-onset cases (before 50 years) are known. The majority of the cases are sporadic suggesting a multifactorial etiology based on environmental and genetic factors. However, some patients present with a positive family history for the disease. Familial forms of the disease usually begin at earlier ages and are associated with atypical clinical features.[91] [92] [93] [94] [95] [96]

High Visibility Long Coats & Parkas
High visibility long coats and parkas offer an extra level of protection when compared to the normal style work jacket. Generally, they are longer, contain more insulation, and feature a heavier construction. While any jacket can keep you warm, parkas are ideal for extremely cold tempuratures, high winds & rain, and other winter work environments where the tempuratures are dangerously low. While all of our hi vis parkas are specifically designed to keep you highly visible while working, they're also designed for maximum functionality and efficiency. Technology has come a long way in recent years and many features have been incorporated to make the parka more versatile, comfortable and useful on the job. From ANSI Class 2 to ANSI Class 3, we have a wide selection of parkas from the top manufacturers around the world. You can find a size, color and style that's sure to meet your standards and make your work day easier.

Michael Nitschinger has a new post to his site today showing how you can cache the entities you've created with Doctrine using Couchbase as a simple caching tool.
As part of our ongoing efforts to make Couchbase more integrated with frameworks and libraries, we added caching support for the Doctrine ORM. [...] Caching can either be used standalone (through the API provided by doctrine/common) or integrated with the ORM functionality. We'll look at both variants through simple examples, a good documentation can also be found here. Note that at the time of writing, the CouchbaseCache is not mentioned as a caching driver because the documentation still needs to be updated.
He walks you through the steps to get everything you need installed, both through Composer and the Couchbase extension so your PHP installation will support it. He includes sample code that sets up the cache and shows how to check it to see if a key exists. With this base in place, he expands it out to working with the Doctrine ORM. He shows how to create a sample "Person" entity, inject it into the entity manager and perform a query with the Result Cache to locate the object.

This is a link that points to the latest version of the source, using an SVN client. You won't see anything from a regular web client, you need SVN to use it. And this is only useful if you want to build your own binary from the original source code. If you want an already built binary, you can use the automated ones built by buildbot.

I tried a build from the github svn checkout but unfortunately the compiler changed since my last build (now mingw32ce).
I tried cerials how-to from 2009 but had some problems building mingw32ce on my Ubuntu 12.
Unfortunately I found no recent build how-to.
So I think I've to start from a clean virtual machine and spend some time until can build the current trunk for WinCE.
Btw: Is there a preferred way to contact cerial if I want ask some questions (if possible at all) how he set up his build env (gcc version, ect.)?
isn't it funny?
nobody can post way to compile release-LIKE version....

The Walrus Says
Elizabeth Congdon, vice president of the center, said, "All through drop-off day for the mirrors, artists of all ages were so excited to see inside the old boat repair shop, and imagine how perfectly it will become the Jamestown Arts Center. We must pay off the remainder of our loan by mid-December, so the time is now to support the arts center!"
Some 40 artists contributed to the mirror auction. They include:
• Jillian Barber, who burst into song in the performing arts space, discovering its great acoustics!
• Ellen Andersen, who made a mod plexiglass chandelier
• Peter Diepenbrock, awardwinning sculptor
• Didi Suydam, jewelry designer, who made mirrored earrings
• Josey Wright, a hand mirror

"We shall surely be able to see the faces of our community refl ected in this beautiful exhibit," Elizabeth said.
*** Welcome to the island, Eloise, a two-month-old black and white kitten adopted from the Potter League for Animals by Julia Held. The kitten's name comes from Eloise of book fame. She joins cat Willy, 13 years old and also a Potter League alumnus. A dog, Genie, 10, rounds out the pets in the Held home. Daughter Madeleine White will help with the love and care. "We're very happy to have Eloise. There are many cats and kittens at the Potter League that need homes," Julia said.
Reflecting on the 1938 Great Hurricane, John E. Wright, who identifies himself as a former Jamestown clam digger – now a converted Ohio Buckeye – recommends the reading of "The Sudden Sea" by R.A. Scotti. John says, "It depicts a vivid account of what this storm did to Jamestown and the rest of New England. Both paperback and hard cover editions are available at Amazon.com. I was in the third grade at Carr School and remember all the details of the storm."
B.J. Whitehouse has sent some autumn posers: Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few...B.J. is now in his 21st year as director of the Jamestown Community Chorus.
The Beavertail Lighthouse Museum Association will open the tower again Saturday, Sept. 25, from noon to 3 p.m. Paula Florentino says that if you haven't been up since the extensive restorations were completed, you're in for a treat.
Chuck DiLuglio writes, "I cannot find in the Rhode Island General Laws any authorization which allows the Turnpike and Bridge Authority the right to 'enact' a fine for 'having trouble at the toll booth.' There is a fine for 'toll running' and such matters are referred to the 'Traffic Tribunal' (traffic court) for a hearing. Have we reached the point where the bureaucrats can impose 'fines' on the general public at their whim, bypassing the legislature? I know the amount is small, but there ought to be a hearing before they help themselves to money in my account. What if my transponder, or their pickup is faulty?
"I note with some interest that the EZPass systems in many other states do not have gates and the requirement to stop. Perhaps some of the money used to pay for electric power for the strings of lights on the bridge could be used instead to install better transponder pickups."
John A. Murphy says that the two best family movies made in the last 20 years that begin with a husband and father being shot and killed are "Men Don't Leave," starring Jessica Lange, and "Places in the Heart," starring Sally Field. "Both well worth seeing."

BEIJING (AP) — Tiananmen Square in the middle of Beijing has long been the center of political activity in China. But it is most well-known outside of China as the place where a student-led pro-democracy movement was crushed by the People's Liberation Army in 1989.
Hundreds of students and residents were killed when the army pushed into the city to retake the square from the student protesters.
China's official verdict is that the protests aimed to topple the ruling Communist Party and plunge the country into chaos. Protest leaders said they were seeking greater democracy and freedom, along with an end to corruption and favoritism within the party.
Wednesday is the 25th anniversary of the June 4, 1989, crackdown that is a taboo subject in China banned from textbooks and websites.
Here are images from Tiananmen Square in 1989 and now:

We owe package design for that absolute aesthetic faculty: that which has taught us to define beauty… and to realize it in all of it's manifestations.
createid will not give you any specific definition of beauty, for even though we have collected and showcased package design works from all over the world, we still have no universal formula for it.
What we have is the desire to communicate that which is not communicable: the sensation from reaching peaks of creativity. We are a gateway into the design culture and seek to publish those ideas that characterize it, discover their source, and lead you into the future.
For it is the future. one that pays attention to new form, and desires artistic, physical, and intellectual beauty. More than a mere revival, the design culture has added to the values of art and learned from all the complexity, that modern society can offer.
From our inspiration, we have taken a clarity of vision. From our careers, our shared voice , a sustained purpose. And from each other, we have learned to deeply appreciate the mystery of the creative arts.
Together, we can illuminate this art form and teach the world about this powerful creative process. We ask you to join us by showcasing your work.
The amazing talent and support from around the world, without your dedication and passion to the art of packaging this site would not be what it is today.

Why Investors Care
Investors need to monitor the economy closely because it usually dictates how various types of investments will perform. The stock market likes to see healthy economic growth because that translates to higher corporate profits. The bond market prefers a slower rate of growth that won't lead to inflationary pressures. Wholesale inventory data give investors a chance to look below the surface of the visible economy, especially for unwanted build. If inventories are growing too fast relative to economic growth, then both production and employment will probably have to slow while those inventories are worked down.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Volcano Corporation (NASDAQ: VOLC), a leading developer and manufacturer of precision guided therapy tools designed to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of coronary and peripheral vascular disease, today announced that St. Jude Medical agreed that previous versions of its PressureWire® products infringed Volcano's 6,976,965 patent (a pressure sensing guide wire patent). Proceedings on damages have not yet been scheduled. In addition, a jury in the federal district court in Delaware has issued a verdict in St. Jude Medical's favor with respect to Volcano's patents at issue in the Company's ongoing patent lawsuit with St. Jude Medical, finding that St. Jude Medical's PressureWire® products do not infringe three of Volcano's patents.
As previously reported in Volcano's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on October 19, 2012 a separate jury in the federal district court of Delaware found in favor of Volcano with respect to four St. Jude Medical patents, finding that Volcano's pressure sensing guide wire products do not infringe St. Jude Medical patents 6,112,598 (a sensor mount patent) and 6,248,083 (a calibration patent). In addition, the jury found that St. Jude Medical patents 5,938,624 and 6,196,980 (connector patents) were invalid. The fifth and final St. Jude Medical patent at issue in the ongoing patent litigation was eliminated from the litigation prior to trial through summary judgment on October 12, 2012.
"We have always preferred to compete in the marketplace with our innovative products, rather than in a courtroom," Scott Huennekens, Volcano president and chief executive officer, said. "However, St. Jude Medical continues to take aggressive legal action that, if successful, would restrict market competition and reduce patients' access to our products. Under these circumstances, we had little recourse but to take the steps necessary to protect our innovations and intellectual property rights, and ensure that patients and doctors continue to have access to our live-saving products. We are pleased with the jury verdict from last week recognizing our leadership in the Fractional Flow Reserve marketplace."
The litigation originated on July 27, 2010 when St. Jude filed an action against Volcano alleging that Volcano's pressure guide wire products infringe five patents owned by St. Jude Medical. Volcano denied the allegations and filed a counterclaim alleging that St. Jude's PressureWire® products product infringe four Volcano patents. On October 22, 2012, Volcano voluntarily removed one of its patents from the litigation. Post-trial motions are pending or remain available to the parties in the case.

Tom Herzig's Trackside: Perley is aiming for Lee's 'Moneybags' loot
July 18. 2013 12:13AM
TWO SHORT track events that promise to be very entertaining this weekend - the "Moneybags Tripleheader" for Small Block Supermodifieds tomorrow night at Lee USA and the American Canadian Tour (ACT) International 500 Saturday/Sunday at Airborne Speedway in Plattsburgh, N.Y. - will use Thunder Road's Milk Bowl format to decide the winner.
Lee owner Red MacDonald and Russ Conway have combined efforts to present the "Moneybags" race, which consists of three 25-lap segments - flat out sprints to be sure - and packs a $15,000 purse. The initial line-up will be set by time trials. The second segment grid is formed by reversing the order of finish of the first segment. The procedure is repeated to create the final segment line-up. The driver with the lowest total of combined finishes wins. Generally, ties are broken by the better finish in the final round, but Lee plans an extra five-lap shootout if a tie-breaker is needed.
ACT is using the same procedure for the $25,000-to-win 300-lap race that's the centerpiece of its "500" weekend. Included in the package are Twin-50's for DIRTcar Modifieds (also cumulatively scored) and a 100-lap non-qualifiers feature paying $3,000-to-win.
The three-segment, reverse-the-field concept put a premium on passing cars all night. Starting up front and holding people off will be a job well done to a point, but it will also earn you a spot at the rear of the field in the next segment. Don't forget while watching the third segment that the jockeying for position a few spots behind the "leader" could be decisive.
Last year's Monebags winner was Wayne Helliwell Jr. in the Scherbon Consolidated No. 21 Witkum Racing entry. This year, Helliwell Jr. will be at Airborne in an ACT Late Model trying to pad his 33-point lead over Jimmy Hebert of Williamstown, Vt. Tommy Tombarello Jr. of Haverhill, Mass., wheels the No. 21 this season. He's the points leader and one of seven different winners in eight races.Mike Netishen of Auburn, driver of the Armor Coatings No. 55, is the only two-time winner in 2013. Netishen is helped out by his father, Mike Sr. "You can buy five new tires," Netishen said. "Last year it was a 100-lap race and we came up a couple of points short of Helliwell. You hope to get a good qualifying run, have a good first segment and take it from there."
Six-time ISMA Supermodified champion Chris Perley has a ride in a new Witkum Racing Small Block car lined up for Friday and he could well become the eighth driver to carry the Small Block Super checkers.
"I've never been in one of these small blocks, but it sounds like I'll be in a good car," the "Rowley Rocket" said. "I'm thankful for the opportunity. I know the team has been having fun out there and I hope to do the same. I may have a chance to test the car at Star this week. I know it's more of a momentum thing than with the ISMA cars. You're on the brake less. One year, we ran a two 50-lap segment race at Lee, but they didn't completely invert the field - you drew for your second position. I won both segments. There won't be any sandbagging out there for this one."Bentley Warren will be the Grand Marshal Friday. He also has posted a $500 "Hard Charger" award to the drivers who pass the most cars in three race segments. A full race card including the Classic Lights, is on the program.
ACT rookie Bobby Therrien of Hinesburg, Vt., and White Mountain regular Brock Davis of Whitefield ran away with the 150 at White Mountain last Saturday. There was only one caution and Therrien made a quick getaway for his first win in the Subway No. 5. Wayne Helliwell, Brent Dragon and Joey Polewarczyk Jr. followed Davis to the finish line.
ACT is counting on a sizeable contingent of cars from north of the border to swell the pits at Airborne. Top-runners Patrick Laperle of St. Denis, Donald Theetge of Boischatel and Patrick Clich� from St-Jean, south of Quebec City, are confirmed.
The Valenti Modified Series races Saturday at Oxford Plains as a part of the 40th TD Bank North 250 weekend. The PASS Super Late Models will contest the 250 this year. PASS is looking to boost its turnout with teams from its Southern PASS Tour. Entries include current point leader Joey Doiron of Berwick, Maine, DJ Shaw of Center Conway and two-time 250 winner Ben Rowe of Turner, Maine.Tommy Barrett Jr. of Millis, Mass., leads the Valenti Mods into Maine. Barrett took the lead from Chris Pasteryak with 18 laps left and went on to his second win at Canaan Asphalt. Pasteryak was the runner-up with Anthony Nocella third. Barrett has four top-5's in six starts. He leads Louie Mechalides and Rowan Pennink, who are tied for second, by 18 points.
