Australia will strip the 81 mph limit off of one of its remote Outback highways next year, and it makes me wonder — what road has the highest limit on it already?
Surely we all know of the derestricted sections of Germany's Autobahn, but how many other derestricted roads are there in the world? Where else is an 81 mph limit commonplace, if not slow?
Surely you all know of some extremely fast, legal roads that I can't quite think of off the top of my head, so list the highway, country, and limit of what you think is the highest speed limit road in Kinja below.

BAGHDAD (AP) — The leader of al-Qaida's Iraq arm defiantly rejected an order from the terror network's central command to stop claiming control over the organization's Syria affiliate, according to a message purportedly from him that was posted online Saturday.
The latest statement by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who heads the Islamic State of Iraq, reveals a growing rift within al-Qaida's global network. It also highlights the Iraqi wing's determination to link its own fight against the Shiite-led government in Baghdad with the cause of rebels trying to topple the Iran-backed Syrian regime.
His statement surfaced as rockets rained down on a Baghdad camp housing Iranian exiles, killing three people in the latest sign of growing unrest inside Iraq. The attack drew sharp condemnations from Washington and the United Nations.
In an audio message posted online, the speaker identified as al-Baghdadi insists that a merger he announced in April with Syria's Jabhat al-Nusra rebel group to create a cross-border movement known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant will go on.
Al-Nusra is an al-Qaida affiliate that has emerged as one of the most effective rebel factions in Syria. Its head, Abu Mohammad al-Golani, has rejected the takeover attempt by al-Baghdadi.
"The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant will continue," al-Baghdadi said. "We will not compromise and we will not give up."
Al-Qaida's global leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has tried to end the squabbling and bring the group's local affiliates back in line.
In a letter posted online by Qatar-based Al-Jazeera TV last Sunday, al-Zawahiri declared that the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant will be abolished and that the Iraqi and Syrian groups would remain independent with al-Baghdadi and al Golani as leaders of their respective branches.
Al-Baghdadi is now defying that command. In his statement, he referred to "the letter attributed to Sheik al-Zawahiri," suggesting he was calling into question the authenticity of the letter.
"I chose the command of God over the command that runs against it in the letter," al-Baghdadi said.
He urged his followers to rise up against Shiites, Alawites, and the "Party of Satan" — a reference to the Iran-backed Lebanese militia Hezbollah, which has been sending fighters to Syria to fight alongside President Bashar Assad's regime. Assad comes from the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
It was not possible to independently confirm whether the speaker was al-Baghdadi, but the man's voice was similar to that of earlier recordings.
Charles Lister, an analyst at IHS Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Center, said there are indications that Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant are operating as distinct groups inside of Syria.
He described al-Baghdadi's defiance as "a potentially very damaging split within al-Qaida's senior leadership."
"Al-Baghdadi's statement underlines an extent of division between himself and Zawahiri but also with another al-Qaida affiliate," Lister said. "Fundamentally, al-Baghdadi appears to be acting according to his own interests, instead of those of his ultimate 'employer,' al-Qaida."
Violence has spiked sharply in Iraq in recent months, with the death toll rising to levels not seen since 2008.
Al-Qaida in Iraq is thought responsible for many of the car bombings and other violent attacks targeting the country's majority Shiites and symbols of the Shiite-led government's authority.
Iraq risks growing more deeply involved in the Syrian civil war raging across its western border. Iraqi border posts along the Syrian frontier have come under attack by rebels, and Syrian truck drivers and soldiers have been killed inside Iraq.
Iraqi fighters are moving across the border, with Sunni extremists cooperating with the rebels and Shiite militants fighting alongside government forces.
Also on Saturday, an Iranian exile group living in a camp near Baghdad airport reported multiple casualties when the compound, known as Camp Liberty, came under attack from rockets.
The group, the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, is the militant wing of a Paris-based Iranian opposition group that opposes Iran's clerical regime and has carried out assassinations and bombings in Iran. It fought alongside Saddam Hussein's forces in the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, and several thousand of its members were given sanctuary in Iraq. It renounced violence in 2001, and was removed from the U.S. terrorism list last year.
Camp residents Kolthom Serahati and Javad Naghashan were killed and several others were wounded, according to the NCRI.
Several Katyusha rockets struck the area, according to Iraqi security officials. Police and hospital officials said an Iraqi was also killed, and that the wounded included at least nine Iranians and seven Iraqis. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
Iraq's government wants the MEK out of the country, and the United Nations is working to relocate residents abroad. Several residents moved to Albania last month.
U.N. envoy Martin Kobler condemned the attack, which he said happened despite "repeated requests to the government of Iraq to provide Camp Liberty and its residents with protective measures." He urged U.N. member states to do more to help resettle the residents abroad.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry described the rocket strikes as "brutal, senseless, and utterly unacceptable." He said in a statement that Washington has urged the Iraqi government to provide medical assistance, ensure residents' safety and bring those responsible to justice.
"We must find a permanent and long-term solution that ensures their safety," he said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Saturday's attack.
A similar deadly attack in February was blamed on Shiite militants. The head of one Shiite militia, the Mukhtar Army, later that month threatened further strikes on the compound.
In another attack, Sunni cleric Khalil al-Fahdawi was killed when a bomb stuck to his car exploded late the previous night near Ramadi, police said Saturday. The cleric has been a supporter of Sunni anti-government protests that have been raging for months and exacerbating sectarian tensions.
Associated Press writers Sameer N. Yacoub and Qassim Abdul-Zahra contributed reporting.

(BPT) – Freedom. The open road. There's nothing quite like the big sky ahead of you and feeling the rumble of your motorcycle. It's motorcycle season across the United States and Canada. Warm weather accompanied by clear roads means it's time to seek adventure, even if that means ditching your car for your daily commute to and from work.
But before heading out, motorcyclists should take heed, because in our automobile and truck-dominated society the odds are not on the side of motorcyclists, according to FindLaw.com, the nation's leading website for free legal information. Motorcycle operators account for about 2 percent of the vehicles on the road, but account for 14 percent of all road traffic deaths, according to the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety.
"For freedom of the road, motorcyclists take on greater risks," says Timothy D. McMahon, a personal injury attorney who specializes in motorcycle cases for the San Jose law firm, Corsiglia McMahon & Allard.
"But you can reduce your risks by doing four simple things," says McMahon. "Make sure you're properly insured, wear a helmet, make sure your bike is in good working condition and keep learning, so you are always improving your riding skills."
Here are some additional tips for motorcycle operators and their passengers from FindLaw.com:
Drive defensively: Regardless of how long you've been riding, always ride defensively, especially when approaching intersections, where, according to Allstate Insurance, 46 percent of all motorcycle crashes occur. On the highway or in the city, avoid an automobile or truck's blind spot. Ride with your lights on. Use hand signals in addition to your lights. Avoid swerving in and out of traffic, and put some space between you and other riders on group rides.
Wear your helmet: If you want to enjoy riding for a very long time, wear a U.S. Department of Transportation-certified helmet. Next to your bike, your helmet is a rider's most important piece of equipment. Know the helmet laws in your state and the states to which you're traveling. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 19 states and the District of Columbia require helmets to be worn by the motorcycle operator and his or her passengers at all times. The laws in other states vary, such as requiring helmets to be worn by minors.
Check your insurance: All but three states, Washington, Montana and Florida, require motorcycle insurance (typically liability). Don't assume your auto insurance covers your use of a motorcycle, scooter or moped. McMahon says to review your auto insurance carefully. And always have proof of insurance on you in the event that you're involved in a crash.
Check your bike: Conduct a quick inspection before you head out. Check tire conditions, lights, controls, the oil level and the kickstand. If your bike has been stored for the winter, make sure it's tuned up and in good working condition.
Upgrade to anti-lock brakes: Consider upgrading your next motorcycle purchase with a bike equipped with anti-lock brakes. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, "motorcycles with anti-lock brakes have a 37 percent lower rate of fatal crashes than the same models not equipped with anti-lock brakes."
Strap on some leather: Leather jackets and leather pants or chaps offer excellent protection for riders and their passengers. Pair your leather with tough, leather boots that go over your ankles and have a thick rubber, grooved sole for better traction. And don't forget to wear proper eyewear and gloves.
Watch the road: Look down the road to anticipate changes in the road surface. For motorcyclists who live in the northern half of the continent, take extra care in the spring when roads may have patches of sand and gravel, and potholes are common.
Be seen: Black may be cool, but bright colored outer clothing increases your chance of being seen by other drivers. In addition, position your bike on the road to make sure you're seen. Make eye contact with car and truck drivers, especially at intersections, to make sure they see you. Motorcyclists in the northern part of the country should take extra care in the spring "" after a long winter, other drivers are not used to seeing motorcycles on the road.
Know your bike: Every bike is different. Take the time to get to know your bike before you head out on the road. If you've just purchased a new bike, practice with it so you understand how it reacts, such as in an emergency stop situation. Study your owner's manual and don't be afraid to improve your skills with a refresher course.
Ride straight: Don't mix riding with alcoholic beverages or other substances that could impair your ability to operate your motorcycle, put your passenger at risk and put you at risk for a DUI.

Welcome to the Valentine's Day Gift Guide on Traveling with Baby. From now until February 14th, you'll find great Valentine's gift ideas for the whole family. You'll even have the opportunity to win some of the products featured on the Gift Guide–isn't that lovely?
Did your family end up with holiday gifts that require batteries? Thankfully, we did not, but during my son's first year, he received multiple gifts that sucked down batteries faster than we could keep up! Not only was I concerned with proper disposal of the batteries, but I was also concerned about the environmental footprint they'd leave behind.
I've tried rechargeable batteries in the past, but they just don't last as long nor pack the same power punch as traditional batteries. So, when I heard about Fuji's new Enviromax batteries that are branded as environmentally friendly, I thought they were worth a try.
Compared to conventional batteries, they work just as well and last just as long. I asked about the composition to understand just how environmentally-friendly these batteries are. I learned from Fuji that they're comprised of "iron, nickel, zinc, electrolyte-manganese dioxide, bronze and paper. Unlike most batteries, they do not contain lithium."
- mercury-free
- cadmium-free
- PVC-free
My step-dad has worked with battery recycling for close to 24 years. I asked him what he thought about these new environmentally-friendly batteries from Fuji, and this is what he said,
Iron-nickel batteries are a very old technology (over 100 years). Nothing ground breaking here, but maybe there will be a new appreciation for them given the relative environmental friendliness of the materials in them. The batteries are relatively heavy, expensive to make, and have poor charge retention.
I love that Fuji is taking the lead on green batteries, even if it is re-marketing old technology, and I hope other manufacturers will follow suit. Meanwhile, if your holiday gifts are running low on battery juice, the Enviromax batteries by Fuji are a great way to re-charge while being kind to the earth. When a 2-pack of Cs or 4-pack of AA's run $5.99 they're comparable to conventional batteries in cost as well as power, at least in my experience.
One (1) winner will receive a 2-pack of Fuji Enviromax batteries in size C (retail value $5.99) and 4-pack in size AA (retail value $5.99).
To enter, leave a comment relevant to this post prior to February 14th at 11:59 p.m. Please follow the contest rules and avoid any generalized comments, or you will be disqualified.

I bet she wins to pick someone... will she send Candice again?
I could be wrong, but that clue about the person being exiled screams Candice to me. She has been sent over there so many times and last time she broke down and cried and wondered if it was a character building experience. But this time may prove to be TOO much for her to handle.
I so agree RJ..For arguments sake let's say it's a surprise bid a the auction and Becky unknowingly bought herself a trip to exile island and had to spend the night there..I don't thinkshe would break down in only one night there..she's far togher than that. Candace on the other hand looks frazzled in all the previews I've seen her in this week...calling out Johnathan for only feeding their click, etc. I think Becky sends her to exile Isalnd and the prospect of that just nurns her out...she can't handle it. Bummer cause I actually like the type of person Candace is..she's just made some really crappy choices.
heres your other answersAdam guesses the answer to the IC out of nowhere to win Candice exiled after Jon/Yul give their money to Becky
So the picture of Ozzy with the immunity necklace is maybe him coming to the IC or recyled?
LOL @ Jeff! Candy kisses Adam goodbyeand Jeff says maybe if it were love he would have given you the necklace
YAYYY Becky sends Candice to Exile island with money from Yul and YUL suns the tribe that he has the Idol

I believe in learning new things all the time, and I do believe you can teach an old dog new tricks. I've never learned to swim properly, but I thought it might be a handy skill to have in case I ever get invited to a party on a docked yacht, fall overboard, and have to swim a few yards through jellyfish-infested waters—it could happen, you never know…
"Hello kids! I'm your swim instructor Bill, and I understand we have a grown up with us here today. Everybody say hello to Ms. Flynn.
Alright now, the first lesson in swimming is to learn to float. In this case, leave your arm floaties on the edge of the pool, and Ms. Flynn, you'll want to take off those water wings…you can't? Oh, they're attached, well, ah…excuse me.
Okay, everybody ready to get in the pool? What Pete? Sure, you can all cannonball in, but one at a time. Get in line. That's good.
Ms. Flynn, you don't really want to cannonball in, do you? Not to be offensive, but you are rather zaftig…the water displacement…we need to have at least three feet of water in the pool for the lesson.
Ms. Flynn, please get off the ground. It's very undignified for you to kick and scream like that just because I said you can't cannonball. You're not setting a very good example for the children.
Here, I'll let you blow the whistle to signal each child when it's their turn to go. No, no, no…stop trying to blow a tune on the whistle. Yes, I recognized it right away as "Stairway to Heaven." Very well done. Now, please watch for my signal and then you blow the whistle.
Alright, that went pretty well. If you'll please let me have the whistle back, Ms. Flynn…no, I'm the instructor, I get the whistle, I just lent it to you for that one activity.
Please don't whimper. It's just a whistle. Look, if you do well today, I'll buy you a whistle from Bliss', yes, I'll get a red one if they have it.
So, we're all in the pool now, let's practice floating. Yes, Ms. Flynn, I'm sure you can float the longest.
Wait a minute, you can't do that, that's cheating…I saw you Ms. Flynn….you cannot push the children under the water like that.
Alright, let's all practice our kicking skills. Everybody hold onto the edge of the pool and show me your kicks!
What Pete? No, she's not really kicking all the water out of the pool, it just seems like that. Please, Ms. Flynn, I can handle this, it's not nice for you to accuse Pete of being a drunk, he's only nine.
Now Pete, that's not nice either. You shouldn't call anyone a Walrus butt.
Ms. Flynn, what are you doing with the pool noodle? You can't whip Pete with a pool noodle! I don't care if he started it! Please, you're old enough to be my mother!
Hey! Don't hit me with the noodle! It's true, you are old enough to be my…don't throw that lawn chair!
Okay, that's it! If you can't behave, you can't stay!
No! You don't get the whistle! Now leave!"
On the other hand, I've always loved just floating in an inner tube.

There's no secret that we love the DIY, screw-'em- between-the-buns action of old racing. And we also understand that bucks-up automotive competition, even at the lower echelons, has a serious cost-of-entry barrier. But this crap is just getting ridiculous. We were perusing Autoextremist's "The Line" section this morning, and despite the fact that he rails against the corporate nature of NASCAR, he still falls into the trap. While quoting Marco Andretti on his victory at Sears Point saying, "I've got to give it to the team, though. My NYSE boys did an awesome job all weekend, all year long," falls into the realm of credibility — the following does not.
"Jim Daniels, of Germantown, Tennessee, won his fourth consecutive SCCA Pro Racing SIRIUS Satellite Radio Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by Hankook race at Miller Motorsports Park last weekend, while clinching the Drivers' Championship in the process."
Couldn't he have just called it the "SCCA MX-5 Cup" and left it at that? Isn't that all we really need to know? Unless it's some meta device devised by Sweet Peet to illustrate how ridiculous the sponsorship game's become. Or he's receiving kickbacks. We understand using sponsor identifiers now and then, as in "The Pennzoil Chaparral," "The Gulf GT40" or "The Budweiser Rocket" as shorthand when cars are especially notable for their color schemes. But the onus is on the teams and the sponsors to create that buzz, not writers.
When the Lexus Safety Cars and Camry Hybrids attempted to lap Laguna Seca between rounds at the Monterey Historics, they looked absolutely laughable. They understeered like hell, their tires squealed, and after the race cars we'd just been watching, made Toyota look rather foolish, like a bunch of backyard hoons in their parents' cars who'd just exited a screening of The Fast and the Furious. Sure, they scored an overall track record with a backup F1 car, but we were left with the opinion that Toyotas are subpar vehicles when pushed. Which, frankly, in our experience, they generally are. We don't know exactly what our beef is with marquee sponsorship, other than we remember when races just had names. And tracks and stadiums had names. Candlestick Park, Laguna Seca, the Oakland Coliseum, Sears Point, and so on. It gave sports more purity and personality. We may embrace brands, but the minute they're shoved down our throats, we reach for the Ipecac.
As print/web journos not beholden to ad pressure from management, we think this crap needs to stop. If enough journalists stop bandying about these long-winded phrases, the advertisers will realize it's a dead-end street, and we may all be able to inject some real personality back into racing — and sports in general — that isn't of the "I have a signature shoe, got some bad tats and made a hip-hop album" variety.

A non-Christian asked if we teach that Jesus was sinless because he did not have a human father, wasn't his human mother, Mary, sinful? Why wasn't her sin passed on to her son, Jesus?
You ask an important question about the sinlessness and perfection of Jesus Christ.
As you suggest, if there is any way in which Christ partakes of sin, he is disqualified from being the only redeemer of God's elect (Westminster Shorter Catechism, Q. 21). The testimony of Scripture about this is clear. Hebrews says that Christ was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sinning (Heb. 4:15). Christ challenged his adversaries to prove that he had sinned and they could not (John 8:46). As the apostle Paul put it, "For our sake he made him [Christ] to be sin, who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Cor. 5:21, cf. 1 Pet. 2:22, 1 John 3:5). He is a high priest unlike any other who is "holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens" (Heb. 7:26). His title as the Lamb of God (John 1:29) also draws our attention to his innocence.
The early church thought deeply about this as it formulated clear statements about Jesus Christ having two natures, a divine nature and a human nature, yet being one person. Christ unites in himself uniquely and in an unrepeatable way, this union (called the hypostatic union) of the human and the divine. This is the mystery of the Incarnation that the creeds of the church confess.
The way in which God answers your question is in the mystery of the virgin birth. The Scriptures begin from, what one theologian terms, "above" (Donald Macleod). John 1 or Philippians 2 show this movement from the eternal Son of God to the incarnate Son of God. This is how the Westminster Shorter Catechism summarizes it:
Christ, the Son of God, became man, by taking to himself a true body and a reasonable soul, being conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and born of her, yet without sin. (Q. 22)
As Matthew described it, Mary was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit (1:18), and then the angel explained it to Joseph: "that which is conceived in her [Mary] is from the Holy Spirit" (1:20). The explanation to Mary herself, in response to her "How will this be, since I am a virgin?" (Luke 1:34), leaves any human agency out of the incarnation in the normal way of conception, for the angel tells Mary, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore, the child to be born will be called 'holy'—the Son of God" (Luke 1:35). Without further description of how this would occur, the Bible testifies that the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary (the same idea as the cloud which overshadowed the Mount of Transfiguration) in such a way that she indeed became the bearer of the Holy One of God (Gal. 4:4); and her offspring, Jesus Christ, remained without sin. God does not specify in greater detail than this how the conception of Jesus by-passed Mary's own sinfulness to preserve Christ's sinlessness, but the rest of Scripture, as I indicated above, affirms that Christ did not inherit our sin nature. He came to be the Second Adam (Rom. 5) who could forgive sins because he himself was both the One offended and himself sinless.
The glory of the grace found in Jesus Christ is that though he was without sin, yet he had pity upon sinners so as to die in their place while we were enemies, ungodly, and sinful (Rom. 5:6, 8, 10). We need a Savior who is fully human to bear patiently with us, yet is able to atone for our sin as the final and perfect sacrifice. The sinlessness of Christ makes a passage like Isaiah 53:9–11 so marvelous in that Christ had no deceit in his mouth and by his death he made many to be accounted righteous.
I hope this is of some help.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

James Maclaine joined Usborne Publishing in 2010. Since then he's written books about meerkats, donkeys and several critters besides, come up with hundreds of drawing, doodling and colouring ideas, and devised puzzles and things to do for a range of activity books. But an illustrated thesaurus and a picture book about manners are the titles that he's proudest to have authored. Recently, James walked a thousand miles across France and Spain, but he decided to come back to his job in London — because what could be better than writing books for children?

ANDERSON, Ind.-July 5, 2014 - Hoosier Park Racing & Casino highlighted their 21st season of live harness racing with a stakes filled card on Saturday, July 5. Four new Indiana Sires Stakes champions were crowned on the evening that featured the first of five rounds of $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes finals for the freshman competitors and the second round of the $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes finals for the three-year-old divisions. It was Hoosier Park's leading driver, Trace Tetrick, who stole the show with five winners on the evening's 14-race card, four of which came in the $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes finals.
In the opening division of the two-year-old stakes action, Crunchess Finale and Darrel Wright continued their winning ways to score their third consecutive victory in the $75,000 two-year-old trotting filly final with a 1:58 final time.
Using the same front-running tactics as she has in her previous two starts, Crunchess Finale looked every bit the part of an 8-5 favorite and left alertly from post eight. The freshman filly easily secured the lead and clicked off fractions of :28.3, 1:00, and 1:28.2 before finding another gear. As the field turned for home, the daughter of ABC Garland-Crunchess looked poised on the front and began to trot away from the rest of the field. Using a :28.4 final quarter, Crunchess Finale coasted on to the wire to finish five lengths in front of Golden Big Stick and Brad Hanners. Heavily backed at the window, Crunchess Finale returned $5.40 to her backers.
The 1:58 victory was a lifetime best mark for the Dan O'Mara trainee who remains undefeated this season. Owned by Joseph Hess, Crunchess Finale has now earned $50,500 from three lifetime outings.
In the very next race, Stickem Buck, driven by Ed Hensley, staged a big rally late in the lane to score his maiden breaking win in the $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes final for two-year-old trotting colts in 1:58.2.
After a miscue at the start by the heavily favored, Airman Batten the race appeared to be a wide open affair. Flashy Cantab and Trace Tetrick left aggressively to set first half fractions of :29.2 and :59.2 before making a costly break around the final turn. Swan on One and Dave Magee inherited the lead after the break by the front-runner and appeared to be up to the task but Stickem Buck loomed large in the background. Under urging from Hensley, Stickem Buck was able to track down Swan On One in the final strides of the mile to win by a nose. Slightly dismissed at the windows, Stickem Buck returned $12.60 at to his backers.
From the first crop of Big Stick Lindy, Stickem Buck is trained by Roger Welch and owned by William C. Delong and William P. Delong. Stickem Buck has now earned $42,500 from two career starts.
On the pacing side of the two-year-old stakes action, Hoosier Park's leading driver Trace Tetrick doubled up in both the two-year-old pacing filly final and two-year-old pacing colt final. First, Tetrick guided Flight Cancelled to her second consecutive win as a freshman in the $75,000 pacing filly final with a final time of 1:55.
Leaving from the trailing post ten, Flight Cancelled was eased off the gate and settled along the rail in fifth while HeyHey Mahanah and Peter Wrenn carved out first-half fractions of :28.4 and :57.4. Approaching the final turn, Tetrick gave his mount the green light and she reached the leader's wheel at the third station in 1:26.
As the field turned for home, the top pair was neck and neck but Flight Cancelled wasn't finished. Using a :28.3 final panel, Flight Cancelled was able to wear down HeyHey Mahanah late in the lane to grind out the victory. As the betting publics' second choice, Flight Cancelled returned $13.00 for the victory.
Trained by Steve Carter, Flight Cancelled remains undefeated at two for owners Steve and Tammy Carter. The daughter of Panspacificflight-Goa BB now sports a career bankroll of $37,500 from two lifetime outings.
Just a few races later, Tetrick continued his winning ways and scored with Tom Simmon's Kelly D in the $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes final for two-year-old pacing colts in 1:52.4. Kelly D remains undefeated at two and equaled the national's season mark for two-year-old pacing colts with the win.
Kelly D left aggressively from post two to get the first call in :27.4 but quickly yielded the lead to Harfo Hanover and Ed Hensley. Harfo Hanover led the way through the middle splits of :56.3 and 1:25.2 before feeling pressure on the outside from Camturo Rock and Dave Magee.
Harfo Hanover was able to put away Camturo Rock and dug in gamely down the lane but could not hold off Kelly D who exploded from the pocket. With a final quarter in :27, Kelly D finished two lengths in front of the hard-charging Toni's Affection and Sam Widger. As the publics' third choice, Kelly D returned $7.40 at the betting windows.
The homebred son of Panspacificflight-U Olive is owned by Larry Breed and has won all three of his lifetime outings. Kelly D now sports a career bankroll of $51,525.
Tetrick also scored with Brian Brown's Color's A Virgin in the $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes final for three-year-old pacing fillies and Scott Galloway's Double A Cash Hall in the $75,000 Indiana Sires Stakes final for three-year-old trotting colts. His first win of the night came in the $25,000 consolation for two-year-old pacing fillies with Do U Mind for trainer Brian Brown.
Live racing continues at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Tuesday, July 8 with a 14-race card. Live racing will follow a Tuesday through Saturday schedule with a daily post time of 5:15 p.m. The 160-day, all harness racing meet will be conducted through November 15.

Dear Rattlers and supporters:
I am humbled at the opportunity to serve the FAMU alumni of the Tallahassee and Leon County areas. Being a native of Tallahassee, born at the FAMU Hospital, and growing up only minutes away from FAMU, I've been a fan of this great university for as long as I can remember! I marched in the "Marching 100," serving as its Head Drum Major, was a member of the FAMU Industry Cluster, and now I'm the President of the greatest chapter in the FAMU National Alumni Association!
My vision of the Leon County Chapter entails a renewed energy and interest towards supporting our alma mater and its students. Whether that is increasing the number of fundraisers, being more visible at local events ie convocations and other university events, or just learning from each other about what you love so much about FAMU, what's important is that we learn from each other and make this a chapter that will be here for years to come, a chapter that will be supporting our sons and daughters as they make their way to the Highest of 7 Hills!
With your support and input, we can accomplish quite a bit! With 12,000 alumni in Tallahassee, we should have a stronger voice on a local, regional, and national level, and I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish in 2015!
Forward Ever; Backwards Never; FAMU Today, FAMU Tomorrow, FAMU Forever!

Last week Nicki Minaj created a stir with her verse on Lil Wayne's Dedication 4 mixtape. On "Mercy" she raps, "I'm a Republican, voting for Mitt Romney/You lazy b****es is f***in' up the economy."
In a radio interview President Barack Obama addressed the lyrics and Minaj's alleged Mitt Romney endorsement.
"Yeah, I'm not sure that's actually what happened. I think she had a song on there, a little rap that said that. But she likes to play different characters. So I don't know what's going on there," Obama said.
Whether or not Nicki really is endorsing Romney is up in the air as she showed her excitement that the President addressed her in an interview.
Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do… *sends love & support* @barackobama
— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) September 10, 2012
Awesome! Now I can tell my grandchildren that the 1st black President of the United States took the time to address a Nicki Minaj question
— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) September 10, 2012
As far as whether his daughters listen to Nicki Minaj, Obama expressed his uncertainty.
"I don't think they really listen to Nicki Minaj that much," he said. "But let's face it, they are now hipper than me. There's a certain point where your kids get old enough where they're hipper than you are."
Regardless, Obama likes to explore music trends.
"Michelle and I . . . we try to keep up so we've got a nice hip-hop collection on our iPods," Obama said.
On the heels of winning Best Female Video for "Starships" at the VMA's last Thursday, Nicki revealed more exciting news for fans.
"I'm releasing my album in November. It's called Pink Friday Roman Reloaded: The Re-Up and I'm putting lots of new songs on there," she told E News! "I'm actually going to drop my new single next week. So Barbz, you are going to spaz, you are going to love it, you are going to go crazy."
While she hasn't revealed just what the new single will be, she said the re-release will involve new material likely unheard before. Perhaps Nicki will endorse President Obama this time around.

The media in Morocco
British dailies and the International Herald Tribune are available at some newsstands in city centres and tourist resorts.
Continue reading to find out more about...
Newspapers and magazines
The Moroccan press has a range of papers in French and Arabic, but news coverage, especially of international news, is weak. Of the French-language papers, the most accessible is the pro-government daily, Le Matin (w lematin.ma). Others include L'Opinion (Istiqlal party; w lopinion.ma), Maroc Soir (pro-government evening daily), L'Economiste, (independent; w leconomiste.com), and Al Bayane (communist; w albayane.press.ma). Periodicals include Maroc-Hebdo (w maroc-hebdo.press.ma), La Vie Eco (w lavieeco.com), and the Time/Newsweek-style news magazine Tel-Quel (w telquel-online.com). There's also an independent online English-language news magazine, Morocco Newsline, at w morocconewsline.com. The most widely read Arabic daily newspapers are Assabah, the sister paper to L'Economiste, and the more sensationalist Al Ahdath Al Maghribia, which is independent but left-leaning.
In addition to these, Morocco has a number of football magazines, women's magazines and other publications in French, as well as the excellent Francophone African news magazine, Jeune Afrique (w jeuneafrique.com).
The BBC have cut World Service short-wave broadcasts to North Africa, but with a deft twiddle of the dial you may be able to pick up short-wave broadcasts for West Africa, or MW broadcasts to Europe; programme listings can be found online at w bbc.co.uk/worldservice. You can also pick up Voice of America, currently in the afternoon, on 11840 or 13570 KHz and in the evening on 7470 or 9490 KHz, but these sometimes change – see w voanews.com/english/programs for up-to-date frequency and programme listings.
Most of the pricier hotels receive satellite TV – CNN, the French TV5, and occasionally UK Sky channels. In the north of the country you can also get Spanish TV stations and, in Tangier, English-language Gibraltar TV. The independent Qatari news channel Al Jazeera is a major source of news for people in Morocco (many cafés show it), and you may even be able to get it in English if you have access to cable or satellite, but it is unfortunately not obtainable on terrestrial TV.
Morocco's own two TV channels broadcast in Arabic, but include some French programmes – plus news bulletins in Arabic, French, Spanish and, more recently, Berber.

Eagles' Glenn Frey teaches songwriting; talks tour
Thu., Nov. 15, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) — Forty years after Glenn Frey began crafting some of the most memorable rock songs ever, the Eagles musician and singer finds himself in a new role — college professor.
For the past few months, Frey has been helping to teach a songwriting class at New York University's Steinhardt Department of Music. The semester culminated Thursday night with a benefit concert by the Eagles at the Beacon Theatre, where the opening act was three of the class's students performing their original songs.
"Their enthusiasm is contagious," Frey said in an interview. He said that working with the students has energized him: "It'll be interesting to see where my next batch of songs comes from."
The concert was one of a handful of Eagles shows this year — the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members play Las Vegas on Saturday and Dec. 30. They played an abbreviated, tight set at the Beacon, just an hour long, working seamlessly through classics such as "The Long Run," "Lyin' Eyes" and "Witchy Woman."
Frey said during the interview there are no firm plans for the Eagles to record together or do a full tour, but all of that may be in the works. He said he expects the band, including fellow members Timothy B. Schmit, Joe Walsh and Don Henley, to gather in the coming days to determine the next steps. A documentary about the band, Frey said, is slated to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival next year.
"We're going to set that time aside to talk about how we think 2013 is going to unfold for us," said Frey, 64, who released a solo album of standards earlier this year.
During the concert, which raised more than $1 million for scholarships, Henley noted the band's recent 40th anniversary. "Hopefully, we've got a few good years left," he told the Beacon crowd.
The Eagles' 11-song set also included "In The City" from the 1970s New York gang film "The Warriors," "I Can't Tell You Why" and two songs with the NYU symphony orchestra, "Take It To The Limit" and "Desperado." Walsh ripped guitar solos known as well as many of the Eagles' lyrics while all of the members continued, 40 years on, to hit the high notes during their trademark harmonies.
Frey, who has a daughter at NYU, said he was drawn to teaching the songwriting class after attending the Country Music Awards a few years ago and hearing a series of poorly written songs. A mutual friend connected him to Phil Galdston, a Grammy-nominated songwriter and Steinhardt's first faculty songwriter-in-residence.
Sixteen students have been in this semester's class, which wraps up with intensive recording sessions for the students — with Galdston and Frey as the producers.
Galdston said it was Frey's idea that a few of the students perform as the opening act. Using a violin, a piano, a cello and a guitar, the three students worked through three songs that received a warm reception from the audience.
The students and the teachers said the goal of the class was not to look for the next big hit, but instead how to tell stories through music and end up with great songs. Weekly assignments included writing a song with no chorus or with a limited number of chords, then the teachers and the students worked on the songs in their next classes.
Tiger Darrow, a sophomore from Dallas studying music composition, said Frey helped her focus on the idea of telling a big story into a small package — a song. She said she and her colleagues weren't intimidated working with Frey, although she got a bit nervous when she realized the details of his legendary life.
Frey explained how songwriting classes weren't available when he was trying to make it as a musician, and he instead worked on his craft with masters like Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Bob Seger. "We just said, 'I wonder if they'd like this,'" Frey recalled of songwriting with those musicians.
A.J. Smith, a senior studying music composition from Washington, D.C., said Frey helped focus the students on the songwriting process and the idea that all parts of their songs "should be something someone can feel and appreciate."
He also said Frey noted that the Eagles even tried to make their guitar solos "sing-able" — thus the reason almost everyone knows the final minutes of the song "Hotel California," a surefire highlight of Thursday night's show.

Accuser reports being driven to parking lot from off-campus site
The Maple Woods Community College alerted students and staff members that a sexual assault has been reported on the campus.
Investigators said the accuser was not a student at the school. The accuser reported being driven to a campus parking lot from some other location and was attacked in the parking lot.
The alert said investigators were looking for a white man, about 5 feet 2 inches tall, 250 pounds with white or gray hair parted down the middle. He was wearing sunglasses and flip-flops.
Investigators said he was seen in a late model four-door Buick LeSabre that was grayish or white in color.
The incident happened less than two months after a student said she was sexually assaulted by a man with a knife near the Learning Resources building. The school said it planned to increase lighting on the campus after the December incident. It also encouraged people to avoid walking to their cars alone.
Students said they were happy to hear that police had a more detailed description of the man sought in this case, but it still makes them uneasy.
"I was saying earlier that I'm surprised we're having class now because I was kind of scared coming here," said Robin Howell.
Some students said they carry pepper spray along with their books and try to walk in groups, especially after dark.

Product Description
Love bacon? Love sex? Why not combine them with Baconlube - a surprisingly vegan-friendly alternative to your normal sexual lubricants. It's sweet, it's tasty, it's BACON and it's going all over your sexy bits. Possibly the best flavoured sex lube ever!

Slick some of this water-based lubricant on your pork sword to pash her with a rasher. With a 100% lower risk of fat burns when you substitute Baconlube for your normal pig fat products during sex, you're assured a corking porking.
The 57ml bottle features a fliptop lid and is decorated with a single rasher of deliciously-cooked streaky bacon. Slip and slather it everywhere you want to ravish.

We do not recommend drinking this delicious lube.

Grease up the pig
Reviewed: 21 January 2012 by BashfulBabe, a Straight Going Steady Female
I usually say that I hate flavoured lubes because usually flavoured lubes are rank fake berry cloying sugary liquid death. The only time my partner and myself have struck upon one that appealed to us both was the - sadly discontinued - cake flavoured versions as they weren't quite so sickly. As a dedicated lover of bacon in all its forms I was determined to give this a try as soon as I saw it was to be released for real. Unfortunately, at the time it could only be shipped from America at extortionate shipping costs. Luckily Lovehoney have picked it up so those of us on this side of the customs barrier can revel in meaty debauchery.
The bottle is simple with just a single sliver of bacon to make it stand out. I did find that the flip-top was a little stiff, as was the bottle itself when trying to squeeze some out - although this latter flaw actually works out well because it does have a tendency to flow out rather quickly so you don't want to squeeze too hard.
People had raved about the authentic smell so of course as soon as the seal was off I had to have a whiff. The initial smell wasn't all that strong but there was a definite aroma of bacony goodness. It smelled a little smoky but with a much smoother lighter note than the usual frying pan offerings. During use, as body heat and natural goo combined with it, the smell of freshly cooked bacon did become much stronger. It also clung to any toys I used with it, meaning they required a more intensive cleaning. Nothing was permanently baconised but they did need a bit of a scrub compared to normal.
Smell is second only to taste in all things bacon and here again I was surprised how mild it was. It was a lot sweeter than I'd imagined it would be. The main thought that came to mind was unsmoked bacon slathered in syrup: meaty and piggy but with that maple-sweetness instead of crackly saltiness. Despite a mild oily texture on the tongue, if a lot was applied it was less offensive to my palate than most un-flavoured lubes and certainly an improvement over the standard berries and cherries saccharine-fests. I don't think I'd actively seek to slather everything lickable in this but as a novelty it's enjoyable enough to want to bring out again.
As a lube I found it to be a lot thinner than most water-based lubes and it would start to get sticky after a few minutes. Wetting it refreshed it a little. I assume that's because it's intended for constant oral proximity so as long as you're keeping it wet it'll stay slick no bother.
As someone who's rather sensitive if I left it to dry in before washing I'd get a bit irritated. Not a full-blown rash but fairly itchy and uncomfortable. Even that faded after a few hours but it does seem like for those who are easily irritated this isn't something to just rub in and leave. During use, and as long as I had a quick wash shortly after playing, there was no reaction whatsoever, so whatever makes it go funny when it dries isn't a problem while it's wet.
Overall, it's not something I'd use every day either solo or with my (rather less enthusiastic) partner. But it is fun and fit for purpose so it will see some action when the meat-lust kicks in.
- Pros
- Definite conversation starter. A flavoured lube I can taste without gagging.
- Cons
- Bit thin and dried sticky, should have been saltier/smokier and not so sweet.
- Bottom line
- Viable alternative to the sickly-sweet flavoured lubes, but for functionality there's better.

Decent lube, half-decent taste, too sickly for some
Reviewed: 31 January 2012 by Blacksilk, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
Baconlube comes in a small, clear plastic squeeze bottle inside a cardboard box. Both box and bottle have "Baconlube" written fully down the side in white text and are also sparsely decorated with rashers of bacon. It's not a product that you can get away with if you want to be discreet, but I don't know if discretion is what you look for when you're buying a lubricant that smells like meat.
You get 57ml in a bottle for £9.99, which makes it one of the pricier water-based lubricants, but since it is designed to be a limited-run product, that can be expected. The bottle is a decent size and, because it's clear, it's easy to see when you're about to run out of your precious baconated liquid.
The bottle has a flip-top lid that is easy to open, but I found actually getting the lube out slightly harder. It's viscous enough/the lid is clever enough that it doesn't just drip out of the bottle when you tip it (which some will find a pro and others con), so you have to squeeze the bottle, which is perhaps slightly too stiff for that. It's not too bad now, but I imagine when I get near the end of the bottle I'll need to be outright taking the lid off and waiting for it to pour.
Its consistency is fairly runny and liquid and drips down my hand at quite a rate, being only a little slower than water. To compare it to other lube I own, I'd say it's not quite as runny as Wet Naturals but certainly a lot less gel-like than Durex Play. It spreads nicely and is not too sticky, but did start to get tacky after a little while. After using it on Crush, his erection was rather sticky, which wasn't brilliant. It's probably something you're going to need to reapply fairly often if you're someone who needs/prefers good lubrication or if you're using it anally.
Ingredients-wise, it is free of parabens (there is some evidence that these are harmful), but it does contain glycerine, which some people prefer to avoid since (being a sugar) there is a potential to aggravate yeast infections in some users. This means it isn't in the top-tier of natural and hypoallergenic lubricants, but I can say I've had no problems with any yeast infections from using this lube thus far. Since it's water-based it's safe to use on silicone toys and since it's vegan it's not just for carnivores!
But this is all just foreplay. What does it taste like?
There's good news and bad: it tastes and smells broadly of bacon. The problem is that word "broadly". Could I be confused into thinking I was licking liquid bacon (get on it, science)? No. Is it at least bacony? Yes. Straight from the bottle it smells a little over-sweet and not particularly bacon-like. During and after use, however, the meatiness of the bacon comes through. I used it with Crush and halfway through sex I suddenly noticed the strong meaty, savoury smell in the air. It was slightly surreal.
Taste-wise, signs are less good. Whether straight from the bottle or plastered on a lover's body, it tastes rather like the slightly sickly sweetness of quite a lot of lubricants, but with a baconish edge. There's definitely bacon there somewhere, but it's not the main taste. I slicked down Crush's penis with it and tried it from his body, but that only seemed to make it even less baconlicious. When Crush tried it out on my breasts, he said it was too sickly to really keep at it for very long. He is fussier than me, though, and I found it generally tolerable, if not nearly as nice as some other flavoured lubes.
Let's face it though, is it really about whether it's super bacony or the best lubricant ever? It's a decent enough lube and most of them have some downside or another. It even tastes pretty bacony for something designed for you to have sex using. And there's just that bacon charm to it. It's a somewhat kitsch thing. It's the kind of lube you could imagine someone owning ironically. It's a novelty. But it's a novelty that actually works.
It's not the most bacontastic thing ever, but I'm pretty proud just to own a bottle and I think it's possible the sexy, and somewhat good-humoured, bacon lover in your life (it might even be you) might be pretty pleased too. And frankly, the thing I love most about Baconlube is that they even made it at all. Some guys looked at bacon and went, "You know what? People could do each other while covered in this" and that man was a genius.
It's a great concept, it's a fun gift and it's a fairly standard lube if you don't expect that gourmet bacon taste.
- Pros
- Loved the idea. The style. It was a decent lubricant too. Not too runny.
- Cons
- Not the most bacontastic taste and smell. Slightly sickly. Slightly sticky.
- Bottom line
- More of a "hint of bacon" than "bacon flavoured" but a decent lube.

The fall television event everyone had been waiting for has come and gone, but it will live on in Twitter infamy forever.
Child Stars Gone Bad: Retrace Lindsay's rocky road to Liz & Dick
We're talking, of course, about Liz & Dick, the Lifetime movie starring Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor, which premiered Sunday.
The film was overwhelmingly panned by critics and regular viewers alike, and even some celebrities — including Lohan herself — offered their thoughts via Twitter. Here's a roundup of some of the best celebrity tweets from the night:
Lindsay Lohan (@lindsaylohan): "@BeckySake 2 get 2 feel like 1 of the most amazing women in the world was a thrill all around & wearing the jewels wasn't bad! #LizandDick"
Sarah Colonna (@sarahcolonna): "If you missed #LizandDick, just watch "Showgirls" backwards."
Aimee Mann (@aimeemann): "I get the feeling the phrase "It is what it is" was said a lot in the editing room. #lizanddick"
Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin): "Lindsay/Liz jewelry store scene = awkward."
Lindsay Lohan and Elizabeth Taylor: How similar are they?
Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt): "Tonight, the downward spiral becomes a straight, vertical line!" - Lindsay Lohan's weary, weary guardian angel #lizanddick"
Rachel Dratch (@therealdratch): "I've an unhealthy level of excitement for #lizanddick. Treating w/the reverence usually reserved for an old-school 70's "television event.""
Josh Groban (@joshgroban): "Who's winning, Liz or Dick?"
Bill Simmons (@billsimmons): "Liz and Dick will get a great rating. It's Train Wreck TV. Lifetime is brilliant. They should have Lindsay play Jackie O next."
Adam Shankman (@adammshankman): "Why does it feel like Liz and Dick, starting in one hour is like waiting for the Mayan Apocalypse..."
Mae Whitman (@maebirdwing): "The beginning is all I could have ever dreamed #lizanddick"
Jesse Tyler Ferguson (@jessetyler): "The day after "Liz & Dick" I just want to say: She's already down. Lets not kick her."
Perhaps the defining word on the movie, however, came from Taylor herself, whose Twitter account has remained online since her death in 2011. On July 22, 2010, Taylor tweeted in a series of posts: "Hold your horses world. I've been hearing all kinds of rumours about someone being cast to play me in a film about Richard and myself. No one is going to play Elizabeth Taylor, but Elizabeth Taylor herself. Not at least until I'm dead, and at the moment I'm having too much fun being alive...and I plan on staying that way. Happiness to all."

A few months ago, much ado was made about results from the ENCODE project on the human genome, publicized as having made the discovery that 80% of the human genome has a biochemical function. While this is true (with 'biochemical function' being defined loosely and broadly), we don't yet know how or why most of the long stretch of DNA in our cells is important. 'Genes' as we know them make up less than 2% of the total DNA. What purpose does the rest of it serve?
What Purpose does "Junk DNA" Serve?
The ENCODE project suggested that the rest of the genome had a strong regulatory potential. How do our cells control when to turn on certain genes, when to ramp up production of one protein and when to slow down? A lot of these regulatory mechanisms remain unknown. A team of researchers at Wistar Institute have now discovered one additional mechanism of regulation.
Before we move on, let's briefly review how genes function. 'Genes' are essentially regions of the genome which are processed into intermediate molecules called 'RNA', also linear strings. These RNA strings are further processed to yield the protein that performs the gene's function. Think of the gene as a 'recipe' for a protein, with the RNA molecule being the unfinished product halfway along the recipe. There are, however, some regions of the genome which are processed to form RNAs, but do not form proteins. They often have regulatory functions.
Long Non-Coding RNAs Regulate Gene Expression
Moving back to the research team, they had previously discovered that a class of these 'non-coding RNAs', which they have termed 'ncRNA-a', serve to activate processing of their neighbouring genes. But how do they do this? There are certain proteins called mediators which facilitate the processing of genes to RNA. They have now discovered that ncRNA-a helps these mediator proteins bind to these genes at the right place. To determine this, the team removed proteins known to be involved in gene processing (called transcription) one by one, and looked for changes in ncRNA-a mediated activation. And voilà, components of the mediator complex came up immediately. They also found that the chromosome forms a loop between the ncRNA-a locus and the gene locus, for the mediator complex to be able to gain a stronghold at the gene locus using the ncRNA-a as a base.
Why is this result important? It gives us a better idea of the factors controlling gene expression. And as importantly, it helps us understand our DNA just a little better. You can read about this research here.
