NASCAR.COM FANTASY LIVE : JUNIOR'S WHISKEY RIVER - OWENS MOTORSPORTS

NASCAR 2011 - #99 Takes the #88 out of contention for The Bud Shootout

Photo Credit: NASCAR.COM

The #99 runs right into the the #88's right rear quarter panel sending him into the wall. With the car's downforce being a necessity, it seems as if this is the night for Junior's #88 team. Junior states that it was fun, and was just trying to ride around working with Jimmie Johnson. The replays show that the #78 got into the #99 which in turn pushed the #99 into the #88, which caused the wreck. It's definitely looking good for the #88 team which worked with several cars in the first segment and hovered around the front. Just another lesson at Daytona, you better be out front so the wreck will avoid you, even though this is not always the case. Daytona 500... on the horizon. LET'S GO RACING BOYS!

Junior looking for Top 10s and Top 5s

So originally this was an embedded video of Junior's Media Day appearance, but for some reason, probably bad code, it is not working, so instead I will just link to it for you to goto, if you are interested in what he said. Pretty much he is excited about this year and hoping for Top 10s and Top 5s more consistently and hopefully able to drive without putting much into it. Definitely looking forward to this year, and hopefully it will be a good one!

LETS GO RACING BOYS!! BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY!

GO #88!

Letter to Congressman Brad Miller NC-13

Congressman Miller,

Congratulations on your re-election to the 13th District Representative Seat in the United States Congress. It seems as if the Republicans as a group are taking strides in the bill submission category. I prefer the government style recommendations laid out by our first President of the United States of America, George Washington, who warned against a party system saying that it would create a divide in the American population. What we see now is the result of this process. The first two Bills presented in the House have been: “HR 2 : Repeal the Job Killing Health Care Law Act” and “HR 3: No Taxpayer Money for Abortion Act” ; I say kudos to an effort such as this in regards to being transparent in the laws being presented to the House and the fact that the bill details exactly what is contained inside. These bills are short and concise, and should be. The general public should be able to easily read and understand the rules and regulations that directly affect their lives in addition to being informed on how their tax money is spent. The years of passing laws that increase the wealth of a few including foreign nations that are against American Interests is over. I truly hope that you and your office plans on standing up for American values and American Interests. If you need ideas for future regulation reform I have House Resolution for you:

{HR : Internet Service Provider Definition Act

This Act will provide the definition of an Internet Service Provider and will be substituted in all Public Laws, Rules, and Regulations which contain the prior definitions in place before this Act is deemed law. An Internet Service Provider is an organization that grants a connection to the Internet. An Internet Service Provider is bound to the Communications Act of 1934 due to the fact that it provides a signal of light or an electric pulse over a wire. The equipment owned by the Internet Service Provider to provide this service must be configured to allow the maximum bandwidth available without any type of restriction. Even though a Megabyte equals 1024 bits, 1MB = 1MB, and the sale of throughput that is not available at a constant rate for an end user is considered fraud and will be punishable by law. Only by an Act of Congress may the wires of Internet Service Providers be monitored. }

This is simple, straightforward, and to the point. It would also be a stand for the Freedoms found under the First Amendment, in which Speech has turned into a form of Communication that should not be hindered. The examples that are provided by the Protests of Egypt 2011, in which the Egyptian Government shutoff Internet Service for the General Public should not be repeated in the United Sates. Companies should be responsible for their own networks and the Internet Service Providers today were yesterday’s Bell Companies which had to have rules to operate under. Their pockets are their bottom line and there is no interest in providing the American people with the fastest service available. In the National Broadband Plan there are many goals that need to be achieved that fully depend on the willingness for Private Companies to spend money upgrading their infrastructure. Steps need to be made to ensure the Public receives promised goods and services. The North Carolina General Assembly is going to redraw the lines this year. I believe we get two extra Congressman from the Census results, any word on this? Have a good year!

Kind Regards,

Paul Michael Owens

Chelsea FC drops another home loss to Liverpool

With a chance to make the table closer with Manchester United losing to the Wolves and Arsenal drawing in a spectacular 4-4 match, The Blues failed to accommodate with a loss at home to Liverpool. Obviously spending money on Torres was not the answer that Chelsea needed to achieve more wins. I felt Luiz played very well with the lack of team training due to the need of going back home to tie up some lose ends, but Torres practiced with the team several days. Sure it does take time to meld, but the new players were not the reason that Chelsea lost. They lost because of the lack of effort and the standing around instead of the continuous attacking that was seen in the Sunderland game. This is why they have lost most of their games. I believe Malouda is a considerably better player than Mikel, and it is a shame that he could only come on at the anterior of the match. You cannot take back a loss that has already happened, but analyzing the mistakes, such as the lack of communication between Cech and Ivanovic, which really led to the goal, will improve results in the future. The conflict earlier where Cech and Ivanovic fought over the ball was an indicator of this. Ivanovic was standing in front of Cech when the ball went past him for the Liverpool goal, which is another example of lack of communication, if its inside the 6 yard box the keeper should own that ball. This was an important game and the lack of effort on Chelsea's part included with the lack of communication on the defensive side contributed to the loss. The team must move forward and look to their cross street rivals of Fulham to regain their composure.

GO BLUES!

Chelsea FC finds deep pockets for the Champions League Trophy in 2011

Over the Christmas and New Years Holiday's it was definitely a trying time for Chelsea Fans, but true fans can stick with a team through the good and the bad. But most recently Chelsea has shown its true BLUE colors. With their impressive performance at Bolton, and their recent win at Sunderland after their recent meeting being a souring defeat at Home, Chelsea are looking like a Championship caliber team. Sunderland looked extremely tired at the 65 minute mark. Not overlooking the Everton draw, in which luck does have some affect on the outcomes of games, but sometimes Chelsea does not look like they are playing throughout the game like they did at Sunderland. Coming to terms with faults and identifying them, then correcting them is a sign of greatness. Buying players like Fernando Torres and David Luiz for over 70 million dollars is a sign of, I got a crap load of money! Adding these two players to an already skilled and talented lineup ought to be having Manchester United doubting their ability to remain undefeated this season. Having Luiz in the back strengthens the already strong defense of Ivanovic, Terry, Cole and Boswinga with Alex not far away from being healthy it's going to be tough for Ancelotti to pick the lineup. The same problem lies with the addition of Torres in the front. Drogba is finding his form and Anelka is everywhere needed, while Kalou is finding the back of the net and giving remarkable roll around the goalpost misses. Throwing Torres into the mix with these players will make it hard to choose WHO to play. The job of Carlo Ancelotti is not enviable, but I see that Torres will probably take Kalou's spot, who will probably drop back and Mikel will drop from the starting lineup, while Boswinga will most likely also take a seat to see the capabilities Luiz. Chelsea is now formidable for sure and I believe they will give Barcelona a run for the Champions League title. Business is picking up! Torres will probably get some playing time against his previous club Liverpool immediately. This is going to be some game to watch on Sunday for sure! GO BLUES!

The Rise of Internet Protocol Version 6 ( IPv6 )

Today marked the day that the last Internet Protocol Version 4, IPv4, was assigned by ICANN. What does that mean for you? Nothing. An IP Address is an identifier that allows computers to communicate with each other over a network. Your computer does all the work for you, whether you have a 32-bit address, or a 128-bit address (which is what Internet Protocol Version 6, IPv6 is ), it does not matter because your computer is the one that will process this information, most all modern PCs are already configured to accept and utilize these type of addressing schemes. As noted in the Picture above.

What does this mean for Information Technology? Well, if you had a good core curriculum you were taught how to convert hexadecimal, and can convert them to numerical values if you really wanted to dive into the actual numerical scheme of an IP Architecture. But this knowledge really isn't necessary to maintain a sustainable Information System, that's what computers are for. The transfer of packets will either automatically become larger, because of immediate addition of 96 bits to the address, or the data transferred will be segmented smaller to accommodate for the increase of address size. Either way the transfer of information most likely also will not be affected. The routing of information through networks could possibly be affected by a millisecond, but to end users these numbers are transparent. The real affect will be to newly requested IP Addresses on a Public Domain will be IPv6 addresses. But if you are a savvy Network Administrator one understands the concept of Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT), and will configure your network accordingly to the necessity of your Private IP Address Architecture.

Will there by another version of IP Protocols? Most likely... maybe in a hundred years, unless we happen to come across another race of beings in the galaxy that wish to join us to their hive in the near future. Let's just hope that the Internet Service Providers don't attempt to bamboozle the public in additional fees for it.
