Your tax dollars at work: First dog Bo is airlifted to Obama vacation home

Rooms have to be found for dozens of Secret Service agents, someone has to carry a selection of presidential basketballs, and of course the family dog needs his own state-of-the-art aircraft.Bo, the president's Portuguese Water Dog, arrived separately on one of two MV-22 Ospreys, a hybrid aircraft which takes off like a helicopter but flies like a plane.It was the first time the Ospreys have been taken on holiday by a US president.More than 70 hotel rooms, each costing up to $345 (£220) a night, have been booked out for Secret Service agents, who took charge of luggage including two large mesh bags full of basketballs.The Obamas are staying in Chilmark on the western tip of the island, an area that is dotted with multi-million dollar homes. The neighbours include actor Ted Danson and the singer Carly Simon.On several previous visits the Obamas had stayed at the 28-acre Blue Heron Farm, but it has since been sold to Britain's most celebrated architect, Baron Foster of Thames Bank.The president has therefore had to downsize to a $7.6 million, 5,000-square foot retreat on nine acres which is owned by a businessman friend from Chicago. It includes a basketball court.As a result Mr Obama will be staying closer to public roads which will have to be closed as his motorcade heads for the golf course of bookshop.The Martha's Vineyard Times newspaper warned residents to expect "extraordinary and lengthy up-island detours". Local officials also emailed residents, saying: "Anyone aggrieved by this closing should email or call the White House."

N’WIDE: Jeff Green Has Four Last-Place Finishes At Iowa For Four Different Start-and-Park Teams

SOURCE: NASCAR MediaJeff Green picked up the 43rd last-place finish of his NASCAR Nationwide Series career in Sunday’s DuPont Pioneer 250 at the Iowa Speedway when his unsponsored #10 TriStar Motorsports Toyota fell out with a vibration after he completed 2 of the race’s 249 laps.The finish was Green’s fifth of the season and his first in four races, dating back to the Aaron’s 312 at Talladega.  He remains the only repeat last-place finisher in the 2013 Nationwide season and, with a four-finish lead, is well on his way to a fourth LASTCAR Nationwide title and his third in a row.Green qualified 34th for the race at an average speed of 131.865 mph, besting three “go-or-go-homers” including Morgan Shepherd, the lone driver who failed to qualify.  Green pulled behind the wall just two laps before the first caution of the day when Brad Sweet, Cole Whitt, and Kevin Swindell tangled in turn two.The Motorsports Group once again fell short of a last-place finish with teammates Jason Bowles in 39th and T.J. Bell in 37th.  Finishing 38th was Carl Long, making just his second Nationwide start of the season and his first for owner Rick Ware.  Rounding out the Bottom Five was Dover last-placer Blake Koch in the #00.LASTCAR STATISTICS*This was Jeff Green’s fourth last-place finish in a Nationwide race at Iowa.  All of them have come in different “start-and-park” teams owned by TriStar Motorsports: #36, #44, #91, and #10.  It is, however, Green’s first last-place finish in the spring event at Iowa.  When the series returns to the track on August 3, Green will have a chance to not only pull the season sweep, but also finish last in that race for the fourth-consecutive year.*This was the first last-place finish for the #10 in a Nationwide race at Iowa.THE BOTTOM FIVE40) #10-Jeff Green / 2 laps / vibration39) #46-Jason Bowles / 5 laps / vibration38) #15-Carl Long / 5 laps / axle37) #42-T.J.
