Another wet weekend forecast in Austria with rain likeliest during sprint race | 2023 Austrian Grand Prix weather

Formula 1 drivers are likely to do some wet weather racing at the Red Bull Ring this weekend – though the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday is expected to be dry. The inclusion of a sprint race means there are qualifying sessions on Friday and Saturday, and so the grid for both may also be influenced by the weather. Any rubber that is on the track surface once the F1 paddock arrives will likely be washed off by the time they actually get on track for first practice on Friday afternoon as it is wet and windy at the Red Bull Ring today. Friday morning will be sunny, but only the support series will be on track then for their practice sessions. That does mean rubber will be laid down on the racing line, particularly as there are 30 cars in the Formula 3 field, but F1 drivers may not be able to benefit as clouds are set to converge over the circuit in the afternoon and stay there throughout, with an increasing chance of rain. Qualifying for the grand prix will take place towards the end of the day, putting it at greater risk of rain. Even if the wet weather does not appear then the track temperature will be low due to the cloud cover. The F1 cars will take to the track at midday and again at the end of the day on Saturday, and there is a very high chance of rain throughout according to the official forecast. The predicted air temperature is 19C for the morning’s sprint race qualifying session, falling to 18C for the sprint race, but the 80%-plus chance of rainfall is likely to be the greater concern. That is cooler than the conditions F1 raced in last year in Austria, which was already one of the coolest races of the season. It ranked only 18th out of the 22 rounds for ambient temperature, and had the 15th highest track temperature. Sunday’s forecast is far warmer, however, with afternoon sunshine bringing a high of 25C air temperature before the grand prix takes place. Some clouds will remain in the area later in the day, leaving F1 vulnerable to the type of brief showers that cause anxiety on the pit wall as strategists debate whether or not to pit for intermediates tyres before the rain stops and the track dries up again. NB. The track also held the Styrian Grand Prix in 2020 and 2021.

Dow Jones Today Sets Pace, Stocks Open Mixed; Caterpillar's New Buy Point; Progygny, Lattice Semi To Join S&P 400| Investor's Business Daily

Stocks stuck to mixed trade Friday despite strong March housing data and some record-setting GDP data from China helping boost global trade. Stocks including PPG, Lattice Semiconductor and IBD 50 stock Progyny blasted to early breakouts. On the Dow Jones today, Cisco Systems and Caterpillar also closed in on buy points.

X

The Dow industrials and the S&P 500 both opened at new highs, though the Dow quickly cooled to a 0.4% gain and the S&P 500 advanced 0.2%. The Nasdaq Composite pared losses, trading down 0.1% on the stock market today, as Splunk (SPLK) fell hard to the bottom of the Nasdaq 100 after an analyst downgrade, and Paypal Holdings (PYPL), Tesla (TSLA) and Netflix (NFLX) all lost ground.

Alexion Pharmaceuticals (ALXN) rallied more than 4%, leading the Nasdaq 100. U.K.-based AstraZeneca (AZN) announced that U.S. regulators had approved its purchase of the Boston-based biotech. The companies announced the $39 billion deal in December.

Fertility specialist Progyny (PGNY) jumped 7.2% in early action, easily leading the IBD 50 list. Standard & Poor’s said late Thursday the company would join the S&P 400 Index, along with Lattice Semiconductor (LSCC), beginning April 20. Progyny shares closed Thursday about 6% below a 53.58 buy point on an eight-week cup base.

Lattice Semiconductor rallied 9% on the S&P 400 news, positioning the Oregon-based chip developer for a potential starting bell breakout past a cup-base buy point at 51.59. Standard & Poor’s also announced software developer PTC (PTC) would move from the S&P 400 to the S&P 500 on April 20. PTC shares dipped 0.5%, pointing to a possible breakout past a 147.77 buy point in a six-week cup base.

Cisco Leads Dow Jones Today, Nears Buy Point

Cisco Systems (CSCO) set up the early pace on the Dow Jones today, rising 2.6% after Wolfe Research upgraded the stock to outperform, from peer perform. The note set the stock’s target price at 63, about 22% above where shares closed on Thursday.

Cisco stock is rebounding from support at its 21-day exponential moving average, and just pennies below 53.04 buy point in a three-weeks-tight base pattern.

Home Depot (HD) grabbed a 1.5% gain, tracking toward a sixth straight weekly advance. Bank of America boosted teh stock’s price target to 375, from 360. Home Depot stock is extended, up almost 12% following a breakout in late March.

March Housing Starts Soar; China Reports GDP

Housing starts soared to an annualized rate of 1.739 million in March, the Commerce Department reported. That was a massive 22% jump over February’s rate of 1.421 million, and well above expectations for a pace of 1.620 million starts.

Building permits rose a more modest 3%, to an annualized rate of 1.766 million. Economists had projected an uptick to 1.75 million permits.

The University of Michigan’s preliminary April Consumer Sentiment Index reading showed an uptick to 86.5, vs. February’s original 84.9 tally. Friday’s note revised the February reading upward to 89, making the reading for March technically a decline.

China stocks were moderately positive after official data released Friday showed China’s GDP grew at a record pace of 18.3% in the first quarter. Record growth was broadly expected as the economy recovers vs. historically weak first-quarter 2020 global performance. Bloomberg had reported economist expectations for an 18.5% gain.

Earnings News: Alcoa, PPG, JBHunt

Aluminum miner Alcoa (AA), paint and coatings manufacturer PPG Industries (PPG) and super-regional bank PNC Financial (PNC), three of Pittsburgh’s largest companies, reported quarterly results late Thursday. Alcoa rose more than 7%, setting its sights on a new high. PNC was up 2.4%, in a buy range on a rebound from its 10-week moving average.

PPG Industries rallied more than 10%, topping the S&P 500, after it reported that earnings jumped 21% in its first quarter. Also, sales growth turned positive after a three-quarter slump. Raw materials cost growth accelerated, but management said that for the remainder of the year “we expect overall global coatings demand growth to be broad-based across most of the end-use markets that we supply.”

PPG is perched just even with a 153.91 buy point, following a pullback below that entry to test 10-week support.

Trucking fleet/logistics leader JB Hunt Transportation Services (JBHT) jetted up 4% to a new high after scoring a solid first-quarter sales and earnings beat. Industry peer Marten Transport (MRTN) gained 1.6%, after reporting mixed results late Thursday.

Banks, in addition to PNC, were also on the earnings advancers list, with Western Alliance (WAL) up 2.8% and Ally Financial (ALLY) knocking out a 3.3% after reporting results. Investment banker Morgan StanleyMS slipped 1.1% in early trade as investors sorted through its first-quart earnings results.

Vital Signs: Oil, Bond Yields

Oil price futures were steady after a four-day advance lifted West Texas Intermediate almost 7%, the best week for oil since the start of March. WTI was down steady above $63 a barrel early Friday. A surge on Wednesday punched prices to their highest level since mid-March, but still below an early-March high at $65.05. Oil prices are an important confidence indicator for the recovering economy.

Stock Market ETF Strategy And How To Invest In The Current Uptrend

Bonds dipped after a surge in demand Thursday sent yields to their largest single-day drop since November. CBOE data showed the 10-year yield closing Thursday at 1.53%, and trading around 1.57% early Friday.

Yields skirted pre-pandemic levels early this month, climbing above 1.76% — the highest level since January 2020.

Bitcoin, Coinbase IPO Trade Lower

Bitcoin continued to pull back after touching a new high above $64,800 on Wednesday. The cryptocurrency was down about 3% and holding just above $60,000 early Thursday, according to CoinDesk. It remains up more than 108% since Dec. 31.

Shares of cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global (COIN) jumped 31% in their initial public offering on Wednesday. The Coinbase IPO rocketed as much as 66% higher intraday, ending the session at 323.28 to give the company a market valuation of $87.3 billion. Coinbase stock gained 1.6% early Friday.

CAN SLIM rules advise against jumping into IPOs too early, amid all the initial offering speculation and excitement. It is better to sit and watch the new stock’s chart. Waiting for it to form and breakout from an IPO base helps limit downside risk.

Dow Jones, S&P 500 Set Pace, Nasdaq Eyes Record High

The Dow Jones today opens with a 0.7% gain through Thursday and tracking toward what could be a fourth-straight weekly advance. It leads the big three benchmarks with an 11.2% gain since Dec. 31. The S&P 500 has a 1% gain for the week and is up 11% this year. The Nasdaq is also up 1% for the week, opening just a fraction below its Feb. 16 record, and with a year-to-date gain of 8.2%.

UnitedHealth Group (UNH) has the biggest move among Dow Jones stocks over the past five sessions, up 6.9%. Shares are extended after receiving a big boost from its first-quarter earnings report on Thursday.

Honeywell (HON) climbed 4.5%, making it the week’s next-largest gain among Dow Jones stocks. Salesforce.com (CRM) was next in line with a 3.8% gain. Salesforce has now completed a valid double-bottom base with a buy point at 251.33. Shares finished Thursday about 8% below that entry.

Dow Jones Today: Caterpillar’s Bullish New Buy Point

Despite the Dow’s four-week gain, Boeing (BA), Intel (INTC) and Amgen (AMGN) remain in buy ranges or just below buy points with earnings rolling around. Intel and Honeywell report earnings next week, along with a half-dozen other Dow Jones names.

Apple (AAPL) has also shaped a cup, with an operable buy point at 145.19, also 8% above where the stock ended on Thursday.

Microsoft (MSFT) is extended. A rebounding Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) has the Dow’s largest year-to-date gain, up almost 35%. Intel has a 30.5% gain. Goldman Sachs has rallied 28.4%, and remains in a buy range on a rebound from its 10-week moving average.

Caterpillar (CAT) remains a blue chip stock to watch. Up almost 28% since the start of the year, the stock is now riding firm support at its 21-day moving average, just 2% below a 237.88 buy point in what IBD MarketSmith analysis plots as a bullish ascending base.

After communicating with editors and publishers to no avail, in 2017, she will report to Guangzhou Jinan University Press Co., Ltd., which publishes this textbook, and Jiangsu Zhouyi E-commerce Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Zhouyi E-commerce Co., Ltd.

Xixi sued for "content quality issues" and argued that "the book directly included all homosexual groups into sexual psychological disorders, and even directly described homosexuality as'a disorder in sex or an inversion of sexual objects', obviously without any scientific basis. It is an obvious mistake." Xixi asked the court to rule that the Circle Company and the publishing house apologize publicly, retract, correct, and reprint the teaching materials involved in the case.

In response, the court of first instance rejected Sixi's claim.

After losing the first instance, Sixi filed an appeal. On November 16, 2020, the Suqian Intermediate Court of Jiangsu Province opened a case to accept the case. On February 22, 2021, Xixi and his attorney received the judgment of the second instance. The Suqian Intermediate People's Court rejected the appeal and upheld the original verdict.

In the judgment, the court of second instance held that intellectual errors in book editing and proofreading refer to improper textual expressions caused by lack of knowledge, ambiguous memory or technical negligence, and the resulting content errors, which generally include time errors, Mistakes in materials, errors in proper names, etc. The error proposed by the evidence provided by Xixi in the first instance does not belong to the scope of the intellectual error provisions, and does not belong to the scope of book editing. The court of first instance stated that the content involved academic views is correct and should be maintained.

"In terms of legal procedures, this matter is over." Xixi told The Paper that since 2016, he has been doing various actions to try to promote the "stigmatization" of teaching materials.

After graduating from university, she joined a non-profit organization.

MySQL Connector/J 8.0.22 has been released

Dear MySQL users, MySQL Connector/J 8.0.22 is the latest General Availability release of the MySQL Connector/J 8.0 series. It is suitable for use with MySQL Server versions 8.0, 5.7, and 5.6. It supports the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) 4.2 API, and implements the X DevAPI. This release includes the following new features and changes, also described in more detail onhttps://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/connector-j/8.0/en/news-8.0.22.html As always, we recommend that you check the “CHANGES” file in the download archive to be aware of changes in behavior that might affect your application. To download MySQL Connector/J 8.0.22 GA, see the “General Availability (GA) Releases” tab at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ Enjoy! Changes in MySQL Connector/J 8.0.22 (2020-10-19, General Availability) Functionality Added or Changed      * Security Enhancement: Previously, the LOCAL data loading        capability for the LOAD DATA statement can be controlled on the        client side only by enabling it for all files accessible to the        client or by disabling it altogether, using the connection        property allowLoadLocalInfile. A new connection property,        allowLoadLocalInfileInPath, has been introduced to allow LOCAL        data loading only from a specific filepath; see the description        for the option in Configuration Properties (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-j/8.0/en/connector-j-reference-configuration-properties.html)        for details.      * X DevAPI: A new connection property,        xdevapi.compression-algorithms, has been introduced for        specifying the compression algorithms to use and the priority in        which they will be negotiated for.  Also, the older connection        property xdevapi.compression-algorithm (without an “s” at the end        of its name) has been renamed to xdevapi.compression-extensions;        its function remains the same as before (providing        implementations for compression algorithms), but the syntax for        its value has been changed: each element in a triplet for an        algorithm is now separated by a colon (:). See Connection        Compression Using X DevAPI (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-j/8.0/en/connector-j-connection-compression-xdevapi.html)        for details.      * X DevAPI: The asynchronous variant of the X Protocol is no        longer supported by Connector/J; the connection properties        useAsyncProtocol and asyncResponseTimeout are now deprecated and        have no effect when used.      * X DevAPI: Connector/J now supports Java keystore for SSL client        certificates for X DevAPI sessions. The following new connection        properties have been introduced for the purpose:           + xdevapi.ssl-keystore           + xdevapi.ssl-keystore-type           + xdevapi.ssl-keystore-password        See Connecting Securely Using SSL (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-j/8.0/en/connector-j-reference-using-ssl.html)        for details.      * When trying to open multiple connections to a MySQL server using        Connector/J with a named pipe on Windows systems, the attempt        sometimes failed with the “All pipe instances are busy” error.        With this fix, if a timeout has been set using the connection        property connectTimeout or the method        DriverManager.setLoginTimeout(), Connector/J will retry opening        the named pipe repeatedly until the timeout is reached or the        named pipe is opened successfully. As a side-effect of this new        behavior, there will be a delay, equal to the length of the        timeout, for throwing an error for a failed named-pipe connection        even when it is caused by an error other than “All pipe instances        are busy.” (Bug #31711961, Bug #98667)      * When the connection option sslMode is set to VERIFY_IDENTITY,        Connector/J now validates the host name in the connection string        against the host names or IP addresses provided under the Subject        Alternative Name (SAN) extension in the server’s X.509        certificate. Also, verification against the Common Name (CN) is        now performed when a SAN is not provided in the certificate or if        it does not contain any DNS name or IP address entries. Host        names listed in the certificate, under either the SAN or the CN,        can contain a wildcard character as specified in the RFC 6125        standard. Thanks to Daniël van Eeden for contributing to the        patch. (Bug #31443178, Bug #99767, Bug #28834903, Bug #92903)      * When using Connector/J, the AbandonedConnectionCleanupThread        thread can now be disabled completely by setting the new system        property com.mysql.disableAbandonedConnectionCleanup to true when        configuring the JVM. The feature is for well-behaving        applications that always close all connections they create.        Thanks to Andrey Turbanov for contributing to the new feature.        (Bug #30304764, Bug #96870)      * Connector/J now supports client authentication with MySQL        Enterprise Server using simple or SASL (SCRAM-SHA-1) LDAP        authentication (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/ldap-pluggable-authentication.html#ldap-pluggable-authentication-usage)        on Windows and Linux platforms.      * Connector/J can now be prevented from falling back to the        system-wide truststore and keystore for server and client        identity authentication, respectively. For JDBC connections, two        new connection properties, fallbackToSystemKeyStore and        fallbackToSystemTrustStore, have been introduced for the control.        While those properties are true by default (fallbacks enabled),        setting them to false disable fallbacks. See Connecting Securely        Using SSL (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-j/8.0/en/connector-j-reference-using-ssl.html)        for details.  X DevAPI: Similar        control for fallback for X DevAPI connections are provided by        the new connection properties,        xdevapi.fallback-to-system-keystore, and        xdevapi.fallback-to-system-truststore.      * The integration classes for JBoss have been removed from        Connector/J. Bugs Fixed      * In a load balancing setup, if the connection parameter        loadBalanceBlacklistTimeout was set, a server that was once        unavailable remained in the blocklist even after a connection to        it has been reestablished, and this affected the system’s        performance. With this fix, the server is removed from the        blocklist as soon as it becomes available again. (Bug #31699357,        Bug #96309)      * Using a PreparedStatement to store a Date into a database        sometimes resulted in a NullPointerException. It was        because some assignments were missing in        ServerPreparedQueryBindValue.clone(), and this patch        corrects the issue. (Bug #31418928, Bug #99713) * When a client attempted to establish a JDBC connection using the server’s X Protocol port, Connector/J threw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. With this fix, Connector/J throws the proper exception for using the wrong protocol with the port and returns a proper error message. (Bug #31083755, Bug #99076)      * LocalDate, LocalDateTime, and LocalTime values set through        Connector/J were altered when there was a timezone difference        between the server and the client.  This fix corrects the issue        by handling the LocalDate, LocalTime, and LocalDateTime with no        time zone conversion and no intermediate conversions to other        date-time classes. Thanks to Iwao Abe for his contribution to the        fix. (Bug #29015453, Bug #93444) Enjoy and thanks for the support!

Pro-people policies pushed to prevent K-shaped economic recovery

#PHnews: Pro-people policies pushed to prevent K-shaped economic recovery

MANILA – The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee is pushing for a set of pro-people economic policies dubbed as the “New Deal for the New Economy” to prevent an uneven K-shaped economic recovery.

In an aide memoire to the House leadership dated Oct. 20, Albay Rep. Joey Salceda, who also chairs the House’s economic stimulus and recovery cluster for the Defeat Covid-19 Committee, warned of a K-shaped economic recovery, where “the educated middle class and above recover, while the underskilled and underemployed suffer a decline in their socioeconomic status.”

“We can see that now. Mid-level professionals get to work from home. Service sector workers, especially in retail and janitorial services, were terminated. As we go digital, these sectors will probably rebound more slowly if at all,” Salceda said.

Salceda said the country faces an “evolve-or-die” situation, as the pandemic accelerated the shift towards a new global economic order where information and communication technology are the most highly prized commodity and channel, and where low-skilled, strictly-onsite work is “nearing obsolescence.”

Salceda has advised recently-installed Speaker Lord Allan Velasco to adopt a “New Deal for the New Economy” supported by solid fiscal standing to finance modern governance, a dynamic and resilient real economy, with pro-people and pro-countryside policies.

Salceda said comprehensive reforms will be made in the areas of energy, infrastructure, countryside investments, fiscal standing, modern national governance (including fighting red tape), green economy, agriculture, local governance modernization, healthcare, education, financial sector modernization, and digital economy competitiveness.

“There will be a new economy: it will be more digital, more global, more skills-based, and focused on value-added. We cannot escape it. We can only rewrite our national policies so that they bring a fairer deal to our people. We cannot change the global economy, but we can thrive in it, with the right policies,” Salceda said.

Salceda expressed hope that the aide memoire, containing 56 bills that would “chart a path towards a more modern economy”, would wisely counsel the “forward-thinking” Speaker.

“We will resume session on Nov. 16. That will be the first full session of Speaker Velasco. We will strive to pass all of these within 100 days,” Salceda said.

He argued that unless aggressive intermediate responses are made, the country would still see underemployment in the 25 percent level, and unemployment at 8 percent by the end of 2021.

"Many development goals, including child hunger and poverty, where the country has made significant progress over the past years, will have to be clawed back,” he said. (PNA)

Rolf Digest was the first themer to fill, but I had never heard of Rolfing.  Wikipedia tells me "Rolfing is a form of alternative medicine originally developed by Ida Rolf as Structural Integration. It is typically delivered as a series of ten hands-on physical manipulation sessions sometimes called "the recipe"   Who knew ? Consistency in changing only the first letter of the existing magazines may have made this puzzle a bit easier to solve, but it's still funny and punny.   Excepting IV / TV, they all also rhyme.  Stu probably had more choices and could probably have created a Sunday sized grid with this theme. How about "Magazine for helicopter designers?  Rotor Trend.    Or, "Magazine for practitioners of animal husbandry ?" Sired.   Maybe, "Magazine for Lumberyard professionals ? Wood Housekeeping. I'll stop now and leave it to the professionals.  Great job, Stu.  We're now going to explore that which remains.  And pardon me while I wander and reminisce. Across: 1. Cook Islands language: MAORI.     The Cook Islands are in the South Pacific ocean with 15 islands having a combined total land area of about 93 square miles.  For perspective, the city of Chicago covers about 234 sq. miles.   Los Angeles 469, and Houston 600 sq. miles.   The land area of the Cook Islands is about the size of Milwaukee (96), Sacramento (98), Lincoln, NE (89) or Tallahassee (100 sq. mi.). Spanish explorers visited the islands in the late 1500s and named one of the islands St. Bernard.  British Navigator James Cook came to the islands in the 1770s, and named one of the islands Hervey Island.  The name "Cook Islands" first appeared on a Russian naval chart in the 1820s. 78 % of the people on the island nation are Māori and another 7.8 % are part Māori.  The official languages are English and Cook Islands Māori.  The capital (and largest city) is Avarua, which might be a good answer in a crossword puzzle. 6. Place for mascara: LASH. 10. Rims: LIPs. 14. Ray __, NBAer with the most regular season 3-point field goals: ALLEN.   Retired HOF'er with  18 years in the NBA making 40 % of his attempts from beyond the line for 2973 buckets.   Active player Stephen Curry has hit 43.5 % of his 3-pointers during his 11 year NBA career, and is about 500 makes behind.  Note the consistency in the non-shooting hand. 15. Northern Oklahoma city: ENID.  Known as the "Wheat Capital" of Oklahoma for its immense grain storage capacity.  It has the third-largest grain storage capacity in the world.  Yes, that is a line of rail cars in the foreground.  The place is huge. There were some great shots on The Smithsonian Channel's Aerial America - Oklahoma the other day.  If you don't get that channel, watch for it to be shown on The Smithsonian's Aerial America YouTube channel. 16. Legal memo phrase: INRE. 19. Campus area: QUAD. 20. Place with shells: SEASIDE. 23. Informal negative: AIN'T.   Isn't wrong. 25. Chopper topper: ROTOR.   One of my part time military jobs (ODAA - other duties as assigned)) was working as part of the team at the "Can Point" when I was assigned to Coleman Army Airfield,  Coleman Barracks, 70th AVIM (aviation intermediate maintenance) Battalion, 1st Support Brigade (later, 21st Support Command), USAEUR (US Army Europe) at Sandhofen (Mannheim), Germany. My real job was in the computer vans, 3rd shift, feeding stack after stack of 80 column cards into a card reader, and then inserting magnetic ledger stock into the platen feed of an NCR 500 computer system. It was all part of the inventory control system used to keep track of orders and disbursements and stock on hand.  Occasionally keypunching new cards to replace mangled cards, and running the 088 card sorter from time to time after dropping a tray full of cards.  Tray after tray, night after night, week after week.  So monotonous.  I digress. Any rotor wing aircraft that went down in USAEUR were transported to the cannibalization point for selected salvage.  Rotor wings could not be salvaged for re-use, but were in demand by Air Cavalry battalions and companies around the country.  They would be used as art on the hangars or as gate toppers at entrances to Kasernes that housed rotor wing companies.  Most impressive and awe inspiring was when the heavy lift helicopters came in for inspection and maintenance.  The roar of the engines and sound of the rotors pounding the air was thunderous as the beasts approached and landed on the tarmac. CH-47 "Chinook" on the left and CH-54 "Tarhe" (Skycrane) on the right.   The Skycranes were being phased out of military service in Europe in the late '70s when I was there, and many passed through our airfield on their way back to the U.S. 32. Salchow relatives: AXELs.  Figure skating. 33. __-deucey: ACEY.   A card game or a backgammon game.  34. Hook partner: JAB.  Boxing. 37. Gobble (down): WOLF.  40. Coke __: ZERO.   Zero calorie, sugar free version of Coca-Cola.  Artificially sweetened.  I've never had one.  41. __-Caps: SNO.  Semi-sweet chocolates topped with nonpareils.  White ones, of course. 42. "Be there in __": A SEC.  What my wife says 10 minutes before she gets to the door as we are preparing to leave.  43. Wheel alignment: TOE-IN.   What You Need to Know About Tire Alignment 47. Weasel cousin: STOAT.  Not otter today.  A stoat (top) and a weasel (bottom) Stoat or weasel? How to tell the difference 50. "Get lost!": SHOO. 54. Pal of Barbarino in "Welcome Back, Kotter": EPSTEIN. 59. Afterthoughts: ANDs.  Oh, and the guy in the lower left is Barbarino and the guy in the top right is Epstein. 62. Leave in: STET.  Don't dele.  Obelisms.  A proofreader knows these symbols. 63. Half of Mork's sign-off: NANU.   Mork was the ET from the planet Ork on the sitcom Mork and Mindy. 64. Brew hue: AMBER. 65. __ d'oeuvres: HORS. 66. First column to add, usually: ONEs.   Units.  The first column of whole numbers to be added in a place-value numbering system.  Typically in base-10 (decimal) for most people, and the second column would be tens, the third hundreds and so on.  I know you knew that, but I'm building here. Programmers and others in technology use other place-value numbering systems, such as in base-8 (octal) where the columns would be units, eights, sixty-fours and so on, and in base-16 (hexadecimal) they would be units, sixteens, and the third column two hundred fifty-sixes. Quick, what's the first numbering system that comes to mind that is not place-value ? 67. Funny Anne: MEARA. So many roles, but perhaps best known as one half of the Stiller and Meara comedy team. Down: 1. Second-smallest of eight: MARS.  Our solar system's planets.  The "Red Planet", fourth from the sun.  Mercury is the smallest. 2. Ointment ingredient: ALOE.  Keep washing your hands and try to find a sanitizer with aloe in it. Does aloe work ?  Evaluation of aloe vera gel gloves in the treatment of dry skin associated with occupational exposure. 3. Cantina crock: OLLA. 4. Works the game: REFs.  Referees the game or bout. 5. Team with the longest World Series drought (71 years): INDIANS.   Should be championship drought.  They were in the 2016 World Series, and they were leading it 3 games to 1 in the best of 7 series over the Chicago Cubs.   The Cubs won the next two games, evening the series at 3 each. In the seventh and deciding game that many pundits have called one of the greatest game 7s (and series) in MLB history, the teams were tied at 6 runs each after 9 innings.   Then the skies opened up with a sudden downpour.  After the rain delay play resumed, and the Cubs scored two to take an 8-6 lead in the top of the tenth inning.  In the bottom of the tenth, the home field Indians plated one run with two out before the Tribe's loyal fans had their hopes squashed on a weak grounder to third baseman Kris Bryant. It was only the fifth time in World Series history that a Game 7 went to extra innings, and it was the first time the extra inning Game 7 was won by a road team.  The series and Game 7 were both dubbed "instant classics". The Cubs won and ended a 108 year championship drought of their own; the longest in professional sports history.  6. Folklore tale: LEGEND.   An example of early American literature was Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleep Hollow, but what inspired the work ?  7. Suffix with hex-: ANE. 8.

Ethically uncertain, in Sussex: GREY.   I loved Dash-T's explanation a few weeks ago that, "Gray is a color, while grey is a colour".  24. Spells: TRANCEs. 26. Treat holders: PAWs. 27. Nerve impulse carrier: AXON. 28. HR dept. concern: RELO.   United Van Lines packed up my belongings and car when I was relocated from Houston to Chicago in late '87.   The company footed the bill for my relocation moving and living expenses.   Actually lived for almost two months in a new Holiday Inn that was still in the process of being constructed. Then January came, and I learned fast that my southeast Texas blood and wardrobe was ill-equipped to deal with Chicago's gusting winds and biting cold that would shiver your bones.  I ran to the mall and bought thermal underwear and the heaviest lined Burberry style trench coat I could find.  I didn't bother to ask HR to foot the bill on those items.  I know'd the answer was NO ! 29. Alien from Melmac: ALF.   Another extraterrestrial from TV land.   Anne Meara played the grandmother in occasional appearances on the sitcom. 30. __ dancing: ICE.   Like figure skating, but more freeform and interpretive. 31. "Oy __!": VEY.   Oy vey ! This crossword puzzle review has gone on too long.  But wait, there's more ! 34. Boo: JEER.  Please.  Bear with me, it'll be over soon. 35. Seed covering: ARIL. 36. M's favorite agent: BOND.   James Bond's boss and head of MI6, portrayed by Dame Judy Dench in eight of the movies.   38. 24 hrs.-per-day retail channel: HSN.   Home Shopping Network 39. Wine: Pref.: OEN.  From the ancient Greek word oinos.   "The translators of the KJV, by uniformly rendering the Greek word oinos as wine, replicated the Greek word’s reference to both fermented and unfermented juice with an English word that, in their day, was similarly general in reference." 40. Wild place: ZOO.    The nickname for Gerszewski Barracks in Knielingen (Karlsruhe) Germany, my second station while serving there.  The Zoo had an entirely different atmosphere than Coleman.   Still the military, but significantly fewer officers and Warrant Officers (mostly helicopter pilots at Coleman) and MPs than Coleman.  Definitely more relaxed.  Coleman was the home to the USAEUR Confinement Facility, where soldiers in serious trouble awaited trial, were serving sentences up to a year, or for the most serious offenses, were awaiting orders for transportation back to the U.S. to serve extended time at Ft Leavenworth, KA. 42. Jam component: AUTO.   Seriously, was I the only one that first thought of pectin ? 43. Type of fastball grip: TWO SEAM.   Baseball.   Even ardent fans may not be aware of the arsenal that Yu Darvish brings to the mound.  44. Blue Ribbons, e.g.: PABSTs.   PBRs, for short.  Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.  Not my cuppa, but it'll do in a pinch. 45. Monkey used in research: RHESUS. 46. Future junior: SOPH. 47. Big hit: SMASH.   As in an exceptionally popular TV, movie or stage show, or for tennis fans such as Sandyanon, the return shot answer to a poorly placed near-net lob shot.   48. :50, another way: TEN TO.   Me: "It's ten to five.  Are you ready yet ?  Are you coming ?"  Her: "I'll be there in a sec."   49. Stranger: ODDER. 52. "That's awful!": OH NO.   53. New Jersey university: KEAN.  Not familiar.  About   Yellowrocks, is that near you ? 55. Domesticate: TAME. 56. People Magazine's 2018 Sexiest Man Alive: ELBA.   Idris.  Hi, Lucina ! 57. Old Roman road: ITER. 58. Dragster's org.: NHRA.   The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) and International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) are the two largest sanctioning bodies for drag racing.  The Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, Wisconsin is still going strong.  The "Sunday, Sunday, Sunday" radio commercials for drag racing events can still be heard on radio stations across the country.  Well, maybe not right now, but they'll be back. 61. Austin-to-Dallas dir.: NNE.    For some, I-35 is known as Main Street, Texas.   Almost half of the Texas population (and most of my siblings and extended family) lives along this central artery that starts in Laredo, Texas near the Rio Grande, and exits the state just north of Gainseville at the Red River.   From there I-35 travels generally NNE all the way to Duluth, Minnesota,  comparatively just shy of the border with Canada. The reconstruction and widening of I-35 that started in 2012 is the second largest infrastructure project in the history of the state for TxDOT, the state's Department of Transportation.  The first ?  Building I-35 in the first place, which started in the '50s as part of Eisenhower's Interstate System.   It will be nice, and much safer when it is finally done.
