- Medicare Trigger Legislation Submitted
This week the President formally submitted to Congress legislation to reform Medicare, as required by Title VIII of the Medicare Modernization Act (MMA). The so-called trigger provisions of Title VIII—inserted into MMA five years ago at the behest of RSC members—requires the President to submit legislative remedies when the Medicare trustees certify that Medicare expenditures are consuming a growing portion of general budget revenues, and provides a mechanism for both Houses of Congress to demand an up-or-down vote on a solution to Medicare's funding woes.
The President's proposal to Congress includes three planks: value-based purchasing (also known as "pay-for-performance"), medical liability reform, and a means-tested premium for Medicare Part D, similar to the means-tested Part B premium incorporated into MMA. These proposals follow on the heels of the President's Fiscal Year 2009 budget submission to Congress, which proposed $178 billion in savings over the next five years, largely through adjustments to provider reimbursement rates (see below).
Although some conservatives may have concerns over the significant intrusion into doctor-patient relationships that pay-for-performance could create, it is worth noting that the President has put forward two distinct proposals for Medicare reform in as many weeks. While some conservatives will look to more comprehensive measures—re-structuring of Medicare cost-sharing, and Medicare's eventual conversion into a health care system similar to that provided to Members of Congress—many view the measures advanced by the Administration, and supported by the Republican leadership in Congress, as a positive first step in the cause of comprehensive entitlement reform.
When it comes to entitlement reform, the cost of inaction is great: the Government Accountability Office estimates that each year Congress does not act to reform Social Security and Medicare, their unfunded liability to the federal government grows by $2 trillion. Congress needs to act—and act now—on comprehensive reforms to Medicare.
To learn more about the trigger, read the RSC policy briefs on this issue.
Analysis of Fiscal Year 2009 Budget Proposals
Last week the Administration put forward its Fiscal Year 2009 budget, which contained several key health-related proposals. The President's budget suggested generating $178 billion in savings from Medicare over the next five years, slowing its projected rate of growth from 7.2% to 5.0% and saving beneficiaries $6.2 billion in Part B premiums over five years. The budget also proposed $14 billion in savings from Medicaid, but more than offset these savings by proposing a $19 billion expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
The RSC prepared a policy brief highlighting the President's health care proposals.
Articles of Note
Two articles in the past week dissected the ongoing debate between Democrat Presidential contenders over a mandate for individual coverage, while providing all the proof needed that such a mandate would likely prove ineffective. While Politico noted Sen. Hillary Clinton's "winner-take-all" approach to universal coverage and an individual mandate, the Wall Street Journal provided insights as to why most conservatives view mandates as both unnecessary and unworkable:
Census Department data indicate that more than one-third of the uninsured—over 17.7 million Americans—come from families with annual incomes over $50,000, raising questions as to how many of the uninsured cannot afford to buy insurance and how many do not wish to purchase insurance, because costly state regulations have inflated premiums.
- Massachusetts has already exempted 20% of its uninsured population from its "universal" individual mandate—a number which is likely to climb in future years, as the cost of overregulated health insurance products in the state skyrockets.
- Hawaii has incorporated a "pay-or-play" mandate—requiring most employers to subsidize their workers' health insurance—for more than three decades, yet Hawaii still has more than 100,000 uninsured individuals—even though employers cannot easily relocate their businesses to other states in order to avoid paying the higher health costs associated with the mandate.
As the Journal points out, enforcing a mandate will require both harsh government penalties—Sen. Clinton has suggested garnishing workers' wages—and a new federal bureaucracy to enforce them.

"Game Change" the new book about the 2008 presidential election has topped the New York Times Best Seller List for the last three weeks. The book has stirred a lot of controversy since it relies exclusively on anonymous sources. Nevertheless, I was thrilled to get a copy of this gossipy, tell-all book about behind the scenes events on the campaign trail. What could be better? The only books juicier than trashy fiction are trashy non-fiction books.
Besides offering airplane entertainment, Game Change stimulated my thinking about the power and the influence of a single individual. Barack Obama, despite a lack of experience and a traditional political financial engine, believed that he could capture the single moment in time when he could create hope in America. Regardless of whether you voted for Obama (I didn't) or think that he has been successful during his first year (I don't), he did win the presidency on the belief and the passion that he, himself, could drive a change in the nation.
Similarly, Oprah is committed to decreasing the number of accidents caused by cell phone distractions. She launched the No Phone Zone movement on her Jan. 18 show and since then, 106,410 people have signed a pledge. The numbers increase daily, and given the Queen of Television's track record, I predict that Oprah will have more impact on this issue than any regulation or policy that might be enacted.
So, what is unique about individuals who believe that they can single-handedly make the world a better place? What is the driving force that gives them the energy and the optimism to tackle challenges that so many others view as insurmountable?

In the upcoming period, Telenor will cover areas of Niš and Novi Sad and continue with Belgrade coverage expansion. Roll-out of 4G will be delivered in phases, first in urban and later in rural areas, depending on the customers' needs.
"4G launch is the next step in a process of delivering a world class network for our customers and Telenor is fully committed to it. We did first testing of 4G in Serbia already in 2011, with the goal of providing customers with a reliable internet connection, faster downloading, browsing, streaming and page loading. Our strategy is to continue to provide the best network experience for our customers and 4G network is an important element of it," says Ove Fredheim, CEO of Telenor Serbia.
Telenor already offers devices that support 4G. If the customers already have 4G devices (phones, tablets and MiFis) purchased from Telenor, they do not need to buy new ones, but only swap the SIM card for 4G capable SIM card (uSIM cards) in the nearest Telenor shop. A SIM card swap will be free of charge and is a necessary step for customers to experience 4G, in addition to being in an area with 4G coverage.
Telenor's 4G network delivers up to six times faster internet, faster downloading, browsing and streaming versus 3G, as well as a more reliable internet connection. Customers will save time while using advanced services and enjoy a better mobile internet user experience.

Part of the joy of being a homeowner is that there's always something new to learn and discover. The art of home improvement is multi-faceted, and it allows you to use your creativity and tastes to come up with unique solutions and improvements that better your lifestyle and increase your home's market appeal.
Wainscoting is one thing that a lot of homeowners today have not actually heard about – but it's been catching on quickly in recent months. Anytime you have a renovation technique that looks great, and also has practical and protective qualities, people are bound to take notice.
If you've never heard of wainscoting and are wondering what it's all about, here's a quick explanation: Wainscoting is type of wooden paneling that looks distinctive and adds a classy touch to any room. Even more important are the insulating qualities it provides. The development of wainscoting as a renovation and building technique is linked to the need for better insulation in stone buildings. That was the original purpose. Today, it's can be used in buildings of all types, and people use it for both decorative and insulating benefits.
There are also a number of different types of wainscoting, and a number of different materials to consider. The best professionals are able to offer varieties of this technique such as traditional raised panel wainscoting with beveled edges, recessed flat panels with specialty moldings, overlay panels with solid wood overlays, and vertical battens with flat panels. Each of these styles will add a distinctive visual style to the room. It's even possible to apply a combination of these styles to achieve a totally unique look and feel.
The materials used in your wainscoting project are also worth consideration. Timber is the traditional material for wainscoting, but it can also be the most expensive. For homeowners who want to cut down on costs, alternatives like PVC plastic, embossed metal, ceramic tile, embossed MDF, and gypsum board can be utilized for amazing visual and practical results – at a smaller overall cost.
Where to turn for solid advice on wainscoting
Take a look at photos of professional wainscoting projects in order to get a better idea of the results you can aim for. This truly is a special technique that looks classy, traditional, and modern all at once. However, it's critical to plan your project carefully and only work with a contractor who has proven their ability to deliver quality results and customer services. Otherwise, you could find yourself in a situation that is ultimately more trouble than it's worth.
Experience and skill are paramount when it comes to quality wainscoting in New Jersey, or wherever you reside. If you're looking for solid advice on whether or not wainscoting is a good option for your home or business, the best approach is to look for a specialist who knows the art of wainscoting backwards and forwards. That means finding someone who is experienced, reputable, and extremely professional in their approach. That's how you'll end up with enviable results.

I am unable to download helpXtupleGUIClient-3.6.0.zip - I'm guessing this could be because SourceForge have temporarily pulled their servers following the documented exploits. Can you confirm this? (I'd hate to be waiting like a chump if that isn't the reason!)
I really want to get cracking with my new installation, so is there any other way of getting hold of this file?
Seems to be working ok now - I just downloaded it successfully:
Thanks ned, I just downloaded it too, using your link which took me to the Cologne mirror. I have another PC connected to the UK mirror and that is still not downloading, so I guess SourceForge is transitting and it will take a while before all mirrors are fully operational.
In the meantime I can get going, so thanks again.

IT System Architecture Complexity
"A system is a set of elements or parts that is coherently organised and interconnected in a pattern or structure that produces a characteristic set of behaviours, often classified as its function or purpose" (Meadows, 2008)
Some systems are natural such as living, colonies, and galaxies; some are social such as family and caste but IT systems are Activity systems – 'purpose wholes' and 'strictly goal oriented'. (Checkland, 1981). If looking at system, try to identify
- What are the parts of system?
- How parts affect each other?
- Do parts together produce an effect that is different from the effect of each part on its own?
- Does the effect, the behaviour over time persist, either in its original state or in evolved state, under a variety of circumstances?
System can be defined by constraints
- High – Ordered, Structured, Repeatable, clear causality
- Selective - Complexity adaptive, partial constraints, flexible, co-evolution. They show contextual complexity and path dependency
- Low – may be chaos, absence of constraints. It might show utility such as open source software
- Evolution: the study of how systems adapt to constantly changing environments
- Dynamics: the study of continually changing structure and behaviour of systems
- Information: the study of representation, symbols, and communication
- Computation: the study of how systems process information and act on the results
- Complex system consists of a large number of elements
- These elements interact dynamically
- Interactions are rich; any element in the system can influence or be influenced by any other
- Interactions are non-linear
- Interactions are short-range
- There are positive & negative feedback loops of interactions
- Open Systems – boundaries will keep on changing
- System operate under conditions far from equilibrium
- System has history
- Individual elements are typically ignorant of the behaviour of the whole system in which they are embedded.
- Diversity of Stakeholders
- Diversity of Interests
- Multilevel structures
- Processes
Any enterprise architecture, including the greenfield microservices, can be complex adaptive system:
- · Nonlinear, dynamic, and do not inherently reach fixed equilibrium point
- · Composed of diverse independent agents
- · Intelligent agents' goals and behaviours are less likely to conflict, leading agents to adapt to one another thus changing the overall systems behaviour over time.
- · Adaptation and learning tends to result in self-organizing and patterns of behaviour that emerge rather than being designed into the system. The nature of such emergent behaviours may range from valuable outcomes to unfortunate accidents.
- · There is no single point of control – system behaviours are often unpredictable and uncontrollable, and no one is 'in charge'; therefore, behaviours of complex adaptive systems usually can be influenced more than they can be controlled.
Why understanding the system complexity is important?Because it tells the right way to manage it. Theoretically Brain-swarming, Naturalistic way, Simulation, Prototyping, and Intuition are ways to manage the complexity of IT Systems; Practically, Enterprise Service Bus, Modular Design, Event driven architecture, Swarm-Intelligence, and Platforms are ways to manage the complexity

Not Your Average Berlinetta
Caleb Miller and his 1987 Chevy camaro
Caleb Miller's Camaro is anything but ordinary.
It was 1 degree above zero when we arrived in Middletown Ohio to visit Caleb. January in Ohio can be depressing. However, when we walked through the door to "Gonzo's garage", you would have thought he was ready to load up the Camaro and head straight to KD Dragway. It's easy to understand Caleb's excitement during the miserable cold and snowy weather. He had Street Racing Channel YouTube Videos streaming on a big screen TV in his brand new heated and insulated garage.
Fighting issues
Although we would have loved to watch videos all day, that's not what we came to do. Our attention turned to his 3rd Gen Camaro sitting in the middle of the shop. The little LS Turbo Camaro has made a name for itself in Ohio. Its last outing was at The Street Racers Reunion No Prep event in Clay City Kentucky where it went vertical just past the 60ft cone.
2018 was a tough year for Caleb and the Camaro. After upgrading the turbo and a few other parts, Caleb struggled to get the Camaro tuned in for maximum power. However, once he started to sneak up on the "sweet spot" he found a new problem... Keeping the nose down.
Caleb pointed out the smashed Moroso oil pan laying on the floor, "I patched it by welding it after the car came down hard at Pacemakers last year, but when it came down hard at Clay City, there was no fixing it."
"I decided to go with a Turbo LS setup"
Wheel stands were a new problem for the Camaro. The basic V6 Camaro was purchased 8 years ago with a blown engine. "I started out with a pump gas 383 small block Chevy. Then I put a big block Chevy in it, but it wasn't street drivable with fender exit headers. The big block fit in the car really nice, but there's just no room for headers and exhaust under the car. So I decided to go with a LS Turbo setup." When asked who built the car Caleb said, "I built pretty much every inch of it," With the help of his good friend Josh Lindon. Caleb back halfed the camaro after purchasing frame rails from Jegs. All of the Fabrication work was done by either him or Josh.
The Setup
Caleb located a LC9 5.3 LS engine and went to work fabricating his own front clip and turbo kit. The 323ci all aluminum LS engine sports its stock crankshaft, but has been upgraded with Trick Flow 220 heads, a Brian Tooley Stage 3 hydraulic roller Camshaft, Flat Top Pistons, H beam Connecting Rods, and an ATI Harmonic Balancer.
A belt driven fuel pump feeds fuel pressure to the Fuel Injector Development Injectors, and a Holley EFI ECU controls ignition and fuel demands. Caleb was tight lipped about other specifics, especially when asked about the Big Single Turbo Charger he purchased from Forced Inductions. The turbo feeds boost to a Frozen Boost Air to Water Intercooler that has been fitted into the cowl area below the windshield.
All the power from the little 5.3 can make is put through a Power Glide transmission, and sent back to the ladder bar rear suspension and 9" Ford Rear Axle.
The Plan for 2019
Caleb plans to put the Camaro in the winner's circle at KD Dragway at the Midnight Madness Season opener May 10 and 11th after he gets a new Windshield installed and gets the Camaro up on a frame rack to repair the damage it suffered when it stood straight up, and drug the parachute mount last fall at Mountain Park Dragway. "I've switched back to a stock F body pan to get some additional ground clearance. I plan on putting dual adjustable front struts on the car for 2019 to help control the front suspension."
Clearly, the Camaro has just begun to show its potential. We at Street Racing Channel can't wait to see it race in 2019.
One man and a single car garage
In the day and age of professional shop built race cars, and mail order engines… everything you need to go fast can be a phone call and a credit card away. Finding somebody willing to work on their own car, and build everything from scratch is becoming rare. Chassis, roll cage, engine, transmission, electrical system, fuel system, and the Nitrous system, all built by one man in a single car garage.
Garth Lightfoot of Springfield Ohio, Has been Street Racing before the ink was dry on his drivers license in 1989.
"My dad John Lightfoot was always into cars and racing. He liked Fords. I don't have a problem with any other makes. I've had a couple Dodges, but I'm partial to Fords."
Garth's first car was a '76 Maverick. A simple 302, 4spd car.
When we asked Garth how many cars he's owned over the years, he couldn't easily recall, but figured he has owned at least 15 Race Cars. When asked how many of them had been used to Street Raced, Garth replied, "All of them."
It would stand straight up if you weren't careful
Garth has been a mechanic his entire life, known by many as the man to go see with any kind of problem involving cars or trucks. When a major back surgery forced him to take some time off work, Garth sold all his race cars and parts, Including his famous black Austin powered by a Big Block Ford with a serious shot of Nitrous.
"The Austin was a really good car. The engine was set way back in it, almost under the windshield and it would hook up good on the street. It would stand straight up if you weren't careful."
Along came The henry J
Garth began to get back into Racing after recovering from a major back surgery. A Foxbody Mustang and a Mercury Capri were purchased, and raced for years. He explained, "But the newer cars just didn't feel right, and I started looking for a new project."
One day, Garth came across a Craigslist Ad for a 1953 Henry J, and he arranged to go look at it. The old Kaiser was found parked in a barn.
"The floor boards and rockers were completely gone. But I just couldn't walk away from it. I just had to have it. I struck a deal on the car, and we drug it outside. It wasn't until I had it up on the trailer that I realized how bad it really was. But, it had a clear Ohio title. "
The original plan for the Henry was to cut off the ancient front suspension and frame rails, and put a modern front frame section on it. The original rear frame rails would be reused, and a 9" Ford would be bolted in place of the original rear axle. Of course, a nice fresh Small Block Ford would be set between the front frame rails.
Unfortunately, the original frame was in such poor shape, there was just no way to save it. Garth pulled out his trusty Jegs Catalogue and started making a list of parts. A Jegster Roll Cage kit and frame rails were ordered, along with all the necessary suspension parts to mount the ladder bars and the new Ford 9" rear axle with Disc Brakes.
Up front, the Henry sports Mustang II suspension, with rack and pinion steering and modern disc brakes.
Garth sold the original front fenders and hood that were nearly perfect and offset the cost of some of the go fast parts he needed.
Parts Including a new one piece Fiberglass nose, truck lid, and doors from ScottRodsCustom.com. The plan is to use Lexan for all the window glass. The original steel roof, dash, and quarter panels will remain.
I've got plans to use one of my home made Nitrous Plates that I've used for years on different engines."
The Henry J also needed a new power plant. Garth had kept his trusty Big Block Ford from his Mustang, but decided to sell the Big Block and instead utilize a very healthy 427ci Small Block Ford. Garth was very stingy about specifics on the internals, but would verify it had 13:1 compression, a healthy solid roller camshaft, and of course a couple Nitrous kits.
"The intake is already plumbed for a fogger, and I've got plans to use one of my home made Nitrous Plates that I've used for years on different engines."
Garth's 427 Small Block ford
Currently the engine sports a Holley Dominator Carburetor set up for Alcohol, and its own belt driven fuel pump. But the Nitrous system will have its own stand alone fuel system for Race Gas. The idea being that alcohol helps keep the engine cool, it makes more power, is less prone to detonation, and is less expensive than race gas.
Homemade Nitrous Plate that has been used for years
The plan is to make it to the first midnight madness
Garth has a lot of work to get done before Racing season begins. The plan is to race the car for the first time during the $20,000 to win "Midnight Madness" season opener at KD Dragway in South Webster, Ohio. The 1/8th mile outlaw track has become famous for hosting "Street Racing style events", that has drawn attention from all over the country.
"When you first go to KD and you see the shut down going up that hill, its pretty intimidating. But once you make a pass, you just want to do it again. It's incredible how much its helped bring back interest in heads up racing in Ohio. We can't wait to go."
We can't wait to see you there Garth.

"Marlon was known as superman to his loved ones"
Marlon E Senter "Fast Lane" went to be with the lord on April 3rd, 2018. He was a selfless man that lived a good and promising life. Marlon was known as "SUPERMAN" to his loved ones, because there was nothing the we felt he could not do; nor tried to do for the well being and positive growth of his family. He would give the shirt off his back to a complete stranger, and help anyone in any way he could. Marlon always carried a smile on his face, no matter what life threw in his way. Marlon leaves behind his mother Joyce Senter, and a host of brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, along with 5 children of his own, (Mercedes, Diamond, Brittany, Jasmine, and Marlon Jr. He also leaves behind 15 grand children that truly adore him.
On Tuesday, Family and Friends gathered at the Scioto River Bridge to celebrate the life of Marlon by participating in a balloon release. The support for Marlon and his family was overwhelming as people of all different walks of life came to support. From Motorcycle clubs, to Drag Racers, and people who crossed paths with Marlon at one point in time.
from the writer:
"Marlon was a great man, I had the pleasure of meeting him at Pacemakers Cash Days last year. The first time I saw Marlon I thought, wow that guy is strong, I wouldn't want to mess with him! After seeing his smile, and the way he carried himself I knew he was a good man. Marlon and I exchanged $100 the first day we met on a grudge race with the "NOS-S10" and Jimmy Lomax's Foxbody Mustang. He shook his head at me and smiled as he handed over the $100. Marlon loved racing, whether it was cars, motorcycles or racing on foot!"

Street Racing Legend "Boosted GT" Racing in Central Ohio this Weekend for No Prep
a street racing legend
If you have watched the Discovery Channel's show 'Street Outaws' from the very beginning then chances are you've probably seen Chris Hamilton. "Boosted" as they call him, has always been known to race against big tire cars, being the underdog on Small Tires, and having a lot of success at it.
Before the show, Chris always street raced. He was a normal guy like anybody else and being one of the best was his passion. Racing in the real "Cash Days" established in 2006 ,before it was popular to call every street race with a buy in "Cash Days". He is a street racing legend, and thats why we knew he would be the guy to have come to Pacemakers Dragway in Mount Vernon, Ohio for our season opener. Chris will race against local heros, street racers, and out of towners from Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, West Virginia, and more.

Roberts team includes his son-in law James, Son Robert Nau II, and Brother Ben Nau, the Driver of this wicked AMC Gremlin. An opportunity arose for the AMC to get in the shootout when racer Bryan Ellithorpe of Arkansas was unable to finish his car in time, leaving an open spot in the 32 car invitational.

Todd Dennis will be racing in the Untouchable No Prep Shootout presented by Trick Flow Specialties at Pacemakers Dragway Park. Todd drives the Complete Auto Repair & Performance LLC 93' Cobra Mustang powered by a 363 Small Block Ford. Holley EFI manages the power made by the 76mm Turbo and Trick Flow High Port Head combination.
The Little s-10 that could
Chris Bishir, and his Twin Turbo 6.0 LS powered 82 Chevy S-10 are headed to Pacemakers Dragway, in Mount Vernon, OH on April 20th for the Untouchable No Prep Shootout sponsored by Trick Flow Specialties. Chris admits, "While I may be outgunned in the horsepower department at this race one big benefit is all the seat time and data from racing the same combo for years." Racing against guys like Joey Rabiola "Boost 12", Eric Bain, and Chris Hamilton, will undoubtedly be tough, but Chris is confident he can do some damage.
The race
On Friday April 20th, at a little 1/8th mile track in Mount Vernon, Ohio "Patches" will be put to the test. The competition will be nothing less than the best, with Boosted GT, Jason Cantu, Boost 12, Boosted Ego, John Quick, J.P. Delisi, Derek Travis, and so many other tough competitors. Pacemakers Dragway Park, will be host to thousands of race fans who come to see the best in the business battle it out on a surface that not many have any testing or data. On that night some of the fastest, most powerful Hot-Rods, could be taken out in the first round by local heroes...
Local Heroes like Goran Stanisovski, and his crowd favorite 65 Chevy Nova that goes by the name of "Patches".
This won't be Goran's first or second time running at Pacemakers, he has made many passes down the little 1/8th mile track and that alone will give him an advantage over most. Goran has been making a name for his self lately not only at the local level, but at the National Level! Multiple appearances at Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings races including a Final Round Appearance at Orangeburg.
Before all the Street Outlaws racing, "Patches" sat in the winners circle at National Trail Raceway and was crowned "King of Columbus", a highly respected title in Ohio.
"My name is John Kramer or Johnny Quick some call me"
John Kramer, AKA "Johnny Quick" Is preparing to race in the Untouchable No Prep Shootout presented by Trick Flow Specialties on April 20th-21st at Pacemakers Dragway Park, located in Mount Vernon, Ohio. John will be competing against some of the best Small Tire No Prep Racers in the country with guys like Chris Hamilton "Boosted GT", Jason Cantu, "Boost12", Derek Travis, the Blain Brothers, and many more.
We asked John to tell a little about himself to which he replied, "My name is John Kramer, or Johnny Quick some like to call me. I am a Brick Layer and also do some race car fabricating in my shop at home. My Girl Friend Nikki races her Motorcycle, and supports my habit that gets way out of hand, but she deals with it.
Below is a video of John racing in his Mustang against his Girl Friend Nikki, on her Hayabusa.
A 3000hp Monster on 28x10.5 tires
Eric Bain, and "Boosted Ego" the insanely fast 540ci BBC Twin Turbo Mustang, will be attending the Untouchable No Prep Series season opener April 20th and 21st at Pacemakers Dragway Park, in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Winning the race won't be as easy as you'd think with all that power. "Boosted Ego" will have some tough competition against some of the best small tire no prep cars in the country including Boosted GT, Jason Cantu, J.P. Delisi, John Quick, Derek Travis, and many others will be ready to battle for the money. At a track many of the guys have never been to, with no test passes, and no data for the surface, a mouse could trip up a lion in the first round or two.
The Silver Unit to attend Untouchable No Prep Shootout
Derek Travis, owner and driver of the Silver Unit Camaro has locked in a spot into the Untouchable No Prep Shootout presented by Trick Flow Specialties. April 20th, Derek plans to be racing against some of the best small tire no prep racers around including, Boosted GT, Jason Cantu, Boost12, John Quick, and many others under the lights at the historic Pacemakers Dragway Park in Mount Vernon, Ohio.
Derek's 86' Camaro is powered by a 706 Cubic inch Big Block Chevy, equipped with 3 stages of Inductions Solutions Nitrous. Derek tells us he has had the car for 15 years, and originally bought the car as a roller. We asked Derek about the car, and he told us, "I never thought I would have anything this fast, but it's pretty quick." Quick is an understatement, this car flat out gets with the program, and to be on small tires for this no prep race... It will be a challenge. However it is a challenge accepted by a No prep, and Street Racing Veteran, such as Derek.
If you have watched the show Street Outlaws on Discovery, you have probably seen Derek, especially on the earlier seasons. Derek is known for betting on shirt sleeves, I have a feeling he may be taking some sleeves back home with him after April 20th-21st.
Pacemakers Cash Days Returns in 2018
Heads up racing on the rise
In 2017, thousands of Drag Racing fans took to Pacemakers Dragway park to see what the buzz was all about. "Cash Days" became a household name in Central Ohio, and gained quite a reputation of being the event to go to. If you liked to see fast cars racing old school, heads up style off of a flashlight, or instant green tree, you were there, and if you weren't there... you missed out!

Just in the nick of time
You may remember seeing a voting article about a week or so ago on this site. Out of the 13 Drivers listed in that article, Boost 12 happened to receive about 1/3 votes. Joey Rabiola contacted us as we were putting the article together, we had already decided we would do a vote to find out who the last entry should be. As I had just finished punching in car number 11's information in the voting article, I get a message from him, and he wants in the deal. The 12th car added to the article was "Boost 12", and he is coming to Pacemakers Dragway Park April 20th. Joey got in the vote with only minutes to spare, making him the 32nd and final entry into the Untouchable No Prep Shootout Sponsored by Trick Flow Specialties.

What do you love about racing?
"I love racing because it brings friends and families together.
It also shows how smart people can be. I like to watch while someone fixes their car,
trouble shooting every possibility. It's amazing how much someone can learn when they
love the subject. I also love how every car is a representation of whomever owns it.
Whether it is the color, what's under the hood, what kind of wheels are on it, ect."
What are your favorite hobbies?
"I don't have a whole lot of time for hobbies between
school, work and helping with Street Racing Channel activities. One thing I love to do
during the summer, when I'm not at the track or working, is taking my dog Jake for hikes
somewhere pretty. Watching him sniff around and run in circles out of excitement of being
outside makes me very happy."
Life Goals?
"To marry the love of my life (Billy Hoskinson). Have a cute little house
somewhere on the outskirts of town, preferably by a coast. Have three kids, a boy and a
girl and I'd like to adopt. For a career, I'd like to work with an Organization or

the community better. And hopefully Save some animals and the environment along the

Tips to avoid losing renters deposit
Eric Babajanian learned the hard way that getting back a rent deposit doesn't happen by accident.
He recalls one instance where he was told an apartment that he was vacating would have to be repainted and the carpets replaced.
"I'm like, 'There's nothing wrong with the carpet, there's nothing wrong with the walls, and you didn't tell us you were going to have to do this."
Babajanian has since rented three other apartments after not recieving his money and has made a much better experience after following some of these tips:
"Take a lot of photographs. Document anything that's a problem, especially things that are about to wear out, because if they wear out while you're there, you don't want the landlord to blame you."
He claims hiring professionals to come and clean up ,such as a carpet cleaner, can drastically impact whether or not you receive your security deposit.

Prepare for an emotional rollercoaster as you embark on this week's Tube Talk Q&A - we've got good news as hit new US shows head across the pond, bad news as other favourites fail to find a UK home, and bittersweet news as one axed show finally gets an airing on this side of the Atlantic.
Read on for all the latest television scoop, if you think you can handle it...
I know Smash has been cancelled, but when is season two airing?
Oh, Smash - we hardly knew ye. Yes, NBC's musical extravaganza bid its final farewell to US screens in May - despite a substantial revamp for its second season. The good news is that UK viewers still have 17 more episodes to enjoy - Smash returns to Sky Atlantic at 9pm on Thursday, July 18 with season two opener 'On Broadway'.
Any scoop on if Transporter: The Series has a UK home at all?
Promise we haven't been ignoring you, faithful popeye13 - we simply have no news to give you! Yes, despite airing in seemingly every other country - France, Germany, Canada, Norway, Turkey *and* the Middle East - TV's take on The Transporter is yet to be picked up by a UK broadcaster.
If it's any consolation, you might not be missing out - critics have not been kind to the 12-part first season and a second run has yet to be confirmed. With Frank Martin apparently returning to the big screen, we wouldn't be surprised if Transporter: The Series is axed before a UK channel has the chance to air it.
When will the new season of Two and a Half Men air in the UK?
Good news - you ain't got too long to wait. The men(-men-men-men-manly-men-men-men) will return to CBS in late September, with the sitcom's UK home Comedy Central expected to air the new episodes shortly after US broadcast.
And despite what you may have heard, Two and a Half Men will be spared a cast overhaul - and possible title change - in its eleventh season. While a new regular female character - the daughter of the late Charlie Harper - will be introduced, loose-tongued former child star Angus T Jones is also expected to return for more "filth" as Jake.
Any news on when Channel 5 will be broadcasting Under the Dome? I finished the book recently and am now dying to watch it!
It's a great book... and word is, a great little TV show too. Under the Dome attracted strong reviews when it aired in the US earlier this week and also performed well ratings-wise, with an audience of 13.5m making it the most-watched summer premiere on any US network since 1992. Not too shabby!
Channel 5 are planning to air the show in the UK this autumn - we realise that's rather vague, but keep your eyes glued to the Tube Talk Q&A for a more definite date. As soon as they know it, we'll have it, and as soon as we have it, you'll know it.
I'm excited for the new show Ray Donovan - any word on when it's airing on Sky?
Sky Atlantic will be airing Liev Schreiber's new US TV drama - which stars the former Cotton Weary as an LA 'fixer' who solves problems for the rich and troubled - from Tuesday, July 16 at 10pm.
For all the scoop on this exciting new drama, as ever stay 'tuned' - or whatever the online equivalent is - to Digital Spy as - fingers crossed - we'll be speaking to Liev all about the show and how it felt to have the legendary Jon Voight as an on-screen dad!
Do you have any questions for the Tube Talk Q&A? Post them in the box below!

Sometimes, nature comes to you when you're least expecting it. This is the story of my chance, up-close encounter with a Tinkling Ground Cricket, a charming denizen of the woodlands of the eastern United States.
Discovering singing insects
Last year, I decided to learn more about the singing insects of my area—the crickets, katydids, and cicadas. There are several good resources (see the end of this post) guiding me in this enjoyable journey.
To get warmed up for this year's singing insect season, I read Cricket Radio by John Himmelman several weeks ago. It's an entertaining and educational book that combines natural history and personal observations on crickets and katydids. I highly recommend it.

The ViPrimePLUS Clostridium tetani qPCR Kit is a Taqman probe-based real-time PCR assay for the detection of Clostridium tetani genomes in wound swab, blood and faecal samples.
Código: QM2019
The ViPrimePLUS Clostridium tetani qPCR Kit is a Taqman probe-based real-time PCR assay for the detection of Clostridium tetani genomes in wound swab, blood and faecal samples.
Clostridium spp. represents a group of anaerobic, spore-forming, Gram positive bacteria that infects the gastrointestinal tract, causing serious diarrhea, or the nervous system, causing neurological damage. Clostridium spp. has great survival mechanism because they sporulate under extreme conditions, but transform into infectious form when the environment turns favorable again. Clostridium tetani is responsible in causing tetanus in humans and horses. The organism enters the body through open wounds and releases an exotoxin, i.e. tetanospasmin which causes painful muscles spasms. This commonly affects the face and neck muscles, resulting in lockjaw or trismus and will eventually lead to respiratory failure if left untreated. Vaccination program is now being practiced in many developed and developing countries.
ViPrimePLUS Clostridium tetani qPCR Kit is intended for research use only.

Webcam Photo on PunchOur Webcam Feature
Whenever one of your employees punches in or out, our webcam feature will automatically take their picture. You'll see this reflected in your dashboard so you can verify who actually punched in. If you have your employees use the Chrome or Firefox web browsers this feature will just work. Nothing needed to setup or change. This is an optional feature – and if you don't have a webcam, no problem, you don't have to use the feature.
Mobile and Tablet Ready
The webcam photo on punch feature can be used with any mobile device, tablet, computer or laptop with a camera. To use the photo feature on Apple iPads and iPhones you will have to use our free smartphone app.
Every time an employees picture is captured, whether when punching in or out, the image is stored with the punch. You can view the image on the employees time card. The image of the employee also shows up on the Admin's dashboard for easy viewing. You can reference images that have been captured in the past at any time as they are stored indefinitely. Guarantee that employees are punching time for themselves and that that no "buddy punching" is taking place!
The Webcam Photo on Punch encourages honesty when it comes to time reporting by requiring your employees to have their picture taken whenever when they punch in or out. Ensure that you know exactly who is punching in and out, preventing "buddy punching" and other sneaky tactics. Remote time management can often tempt employees to falsify their time often leaving you in the dark about your business operations and costing you money in the end, but with the webcam photo on punch feature you can be assured that employee are punching time only for themselves.
Other Features
We know how important it is to have a robust set of features and functionalities to help you better manage your employees and their time. We pride ourselves on offering many features that are not provided by several other time tracking systems. Whether you are looking for simple yet powerful features such as PTO Accruals and Overtime Calculations or more advanced features such as Geofences and QR Codes – we have got you covered! Make sure to check out all of the Other features we offer.

If you're like us, your dogs and cats are more than just pets; they're full-fledged members of the family. As any pet owner knows, it can also be difficult to keep them from eating whatever strikes their fancy, even if it's far from healthy for them. That's why it's so important to know which flowers are safe for cats and dogs, whether the Bouq is for yourself or a gift for a friend.
Flowers Which Can Be Toxic to Cats and Dogs
Here at The Bouqs Company, we love all flowers, but keeping our furry friends safe is a major priority. So, to ensure their safety with whatever they might decide to take a taste of, we've investigated the important subject of plant toxicity to find out which flowers are safe for cats and dogs. Before we dive into which flowers are safe for dogs and cats, these flowers are toxic to both:
- Baby's Breath
- Azalea
- Tulips (their bulbs rather than cut flowers)
- Bird of Paradise
- Begonias
- Aloe
- Chrysanthemum
- Clematis
- Daffodils
- Larkspur
Which Flowers Are Safe for Cats?
Cats can be fierce and delicate in equal measure, that's why we love them so much. This contrast is also true when it comes to their stomachs. Though notoriously picky in choosing what to eat, cats' tummies are capable of handling a very wide array of foods. However, there are some flowers that can be very dangerous for cats. This is especially true of the Lilium family, which includes all "true" lilies. If you own a cat or are planning to gift a Bouq to someone who does, here's a list of flowers which are safe for felines:
- Roses
- Sunflowers
- Carnations
- Snapdragons
- Gerbers
- Zinnias
- Statice
- Asters
- Alstroemeria
Which Flowers Are Safe for Dogs?
Probably even more so than cats, dogs enjoy tasting the world around them, whether it's grass, their own tail, or one of your brand new couch pillows from Urban Outfitters. For this reason, much care must be taken about choosing flowers which won't harm your precious pup if curiosity gets the better of him or her. To make sure that the Bouqs that is brightening up your home is safe, here's a list of flowers that are non-toxic to dogs:
- Orchids
- Celosia
- Rose
- Petunia
- African Violet
- Jasmine
- Pansies
- Sunflowers
Possible Signs of Poisoning to Look Out For
If you think that your cat or dog has ingested, tasted or even drank the vase water from a toxic flower, there are many symptoms to look out for. Here are just some of the most obvious ones that should raise concern:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Increased Urination
- Dry Mouth
- Thirst
- Not Eating Food
Not all flowers will have the same effect, however. Lilies, one of the most dangerous flowers for cats, can cause vomiting, diarrhea, kidney disease, and heart issues, while Morning Glory would cause a cat to become very agitated and lose motor function.
What To Do If You Believe Your Pet Has Eaten an Unsafe Flower
The safest course of action if you think your cat or dog has eaten an unsafe flower is to call your vet to explain the symptoms. If it is necessary to bring the animal to a veterinary hospital, bring along the flowers that may have caused the problem or a bouquet description if you have it. Time can be very important and can increase the number of possible treatments.
A beautiful, hand-crafted Bouq will always have a place in a happy home, but when that household also includes cats and dogs, it's necessary to be extra careful about flower selection. Check the list of potentially toxic plants, so you know which flowers are safe for cats and dogs. Everyone in your family will enjoy fresh flowers, including your four-legged friends, just keep things on the safe side in case they want to have a more immersive experience.Shop All

If anyone was scared that Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez's relationship was on the fritz again don't worry the ladies are in fact buds again. Demi did say she was friends with Selena is her new Complex spread BUT that interview was probably done before the ladies reconciled. Demi clarified the situation with a single tweet. "Interviews are done months and months before the issue is published. [A] lot can change between then and now. Don't read into the bulls—t."
In other news Selena basically confirmed her relationship with Justin Bieber was a roller coaster. "I've felt so much in the past two years, from being super in love and then dealing with things to getting older and all these beautiful experiences that were complicated and exciting."

Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded InitiativePosted by Jeff on May 11th, 2007
Interesting announcement coming from Ubuntu/Canonical last week, one that probably came not a moment too soon! There are so many open source projects with mobile activity right now that it is timely to have someone with a proven track record like Ubuntu to help bring everything together into a complete package.
Looking through the announcement, the wiki, and launchpad site, my impression is that it will be oriented towards the Nokia N800 class or Ultra Mobile PC markets (UMPC). Intel seems to be involved, and with their general push into development of chipsets for ultra portable devices this could be a really promising joint effort.
On the flipside to all of this I have had some rather negative experiences recently with these UMPC's – I had the chance to play around with the Sony VAIO VGN-UX1XN, as well as another no-name machine the other day and in my brief use of the devices I was surely struggling to find a valid use-case for the two. Both devices seemed like a compromise in all respects and offered nothing truly beneficial other then a 'cool' factor which wore off in about 5 minutes of squinting trying to maneuver the mouse over a Windows Start menu – bleh.
The great thing about the Ubuntu Mobile effort is that they are going to leverage technologies (such as Maemo) which were originally designed for this form factor as opposed to attempting to shoehorn a desktop OS onto a 6″ screen. I have not had the opportunity to get my hands on a Nokia N800 or N770 so can't speak to whether or not you get the same feeling of trying to find a use-case or not but at the very least I would expect the device-oriented operating system to make it easier to use — for something. I'm curious as to what people out there with these devices find themselves using them for right now? If there was existing tighter integration between IM, VoIP, and your home and/or mobile phone would this be a great all-in-one communications device or would it be a jack-of-all trades master of none?
It wasn't completely clear from what I have read so far whether the objectives of Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded include scaling down to OpenMoko size devices. With both platforms building off of a similar set of components (Gnome Mobile and Embedded) they are at least complimentary in their efforts to shrink down the size of many existing Linux/Gnome components. Perhaps Ubuntu for Mobile phones is a phase 2 development for now.
All of the work happening in the open source community towards mobile and embedded devices is critically important. Many of the proprietary operating systems on mobile devices are more closed to end users than even their counterparts on the PC, limiting even further what you are and are not allowed to build. The network operators are leveraging this level of control as a further way to inhibit innovation and competition by users and businesses around the world. With mobile networks becoming so pervasive the opportunity is there to connect more people together in a single network than ever before. The potential for new ideas or methods of communication to bring the world closer together with such an immense group of users is infinite – so long as those connected are given the permission to do so.
