A brand-new CR-V is set to debut for the 2012 model year. There were few details available at press time, but the concept car pictured at left previews the styling of the new CR-V. Until that car goes on sale at the end of the year, buyers will have to settle for the 2011 CR-V, which is a pretty good vehicle in its own right, offering versatility, spaciousness, and ease of use. The current CR-V has a 180-hp four-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission and is available with four-wheel drive. Clever packaging includes an optional dual-deck shelf that splits the commodious cargo bay horizontally and a sliding rear seat that folds flat in three sections instead of the typical two. The car-based CR-V handles and brakes well, and it has a low step-in height for easy entry. Still, the CR-V is growing old: it could likely get better fuel economy with a more efficient engine and a six-speed automatic, and it doesn't offer some of the modern conveniences, such as Bluetooth and navigation, except in the top trim level. At least one of those shortcomings will be addressed with the 2012 model, as we do know that a more powerful 2.5-liter four-cylinder will be available.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – In a game where the Mississippi State Bulldogs trailed Alabama much of the afternoon, they rallied from four runs down to take the lead in the ninth inning, only to watch it slip away in walkoff fashion.
First baseman Austen Smith ripped a double off the wall in left-center to give the Crimson Tide the 8-7 victory.
If losing in gut-wrenching fashion wasn't enough, the Bulldogs (29-18, 12-12) felt as if they had won the game when Smith appeared to have bounced a ball off home plate and into fair territory leading to what one official considered an out. However, after a conference by the officials the play was ruled as a foul ball.
"There are things you can control in this game and there are things that you can't," said Mississippi State head coach John Cohen. "In terms of the things we can control, I thought our kids did a great job.
"We aren't backing down from anybody. We are not going to back down from anybody no matter what the conditions are, no matter what happens to our club."
The Bulldogs made things interesting in the eighth inning when trailing 6-2. State struck for three runs in the frame when Mitch Slauter opened with a leadoff walk. Trey Porter punched a single through the right side followed by a pinch-hit, RBI single from Phillip Casey. Brent Brownlee and Daryl Norris turned in back-to-back singles before a Sam Frost sacrifice fly tighten the game to 6-5.
"Trey swung it well and Trey is all about his pitch selection," said Cohen. "When he gets pitches to hit, he can really hit. He is going to be a really good player in our program. He competes, he has a blue collar mentality and he is going to have these kinds of days."
In the ninth, State went back on the attack with a Matthew Britton walk and a Porter ground-rule double. Casey then stepped to the plate and delivered what appeared to be the game-winning single scoring a pair of Bulldogs.
"Casey came in and swung the bat for us and gave us a lift offensively," said Cohen. "The offensive part of his game is not what's keeping him off the field. We've got to find a spot for him to be able to play defensively. I think he has some real feel as a hitter and I think he made the most of some opportunities (Sunday)."
In the home half of the inning, Nick Routt got the first two outs before Jared Reaves and Ben Moore followed with back-to-back singles. In relief, Taylor Stark was touched for Smith's game-winner.
"Our kids are competing their tails off and they take everything personally when it comes to representing Mississippi State and wearing it on their chest," said Cohen. "If you want them to hang their heads and walk back to the bus, then you've got the wrong group of coaches and you've got the wrong group of players. They will fight, fight, fight, for every minute before, after, and during the baseball game."
For the game, Louis Pollorena earned the start, lasting 2.2 innings allowing a run on a pair of hits.
State used five hurlers with Nick Routt picking up the loss. Its pitching staff allowed eight runs on nine hits in the losing effort on Sunday.
The Bulldogs turned in 11 hits for the afternoon and were led by Porter with a 4-for-5 effort.
Following the game, Porter expressed the bitterness of the loss.
"That's good," Porter said. "That shows how competitive this team is. If it wasn't like that, I would be upset."
State now looks to regroup and return to the diamond for a Tuesday doubleheader with Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils.
"We've got to get over this because this is disappointing," Cohen said. "We were one out away and had some really disappointing things happen to our ballclub right there, but this is baseball and those things do happen, but when you take it personally like our kids do, it is kind of hard to walk away from it. We will and we'll be prepared for Mississippi Valley on Tuesday."

Bipolar disorder causes mood
swings with extreme ups (mania) and downs (depression). When people with this problem are up, they have brief, intense
outbursts or feel irritable or extremely happy (mania) several
times almost every day. They have a lot of energy and a high activity level.
When they are down, they feel
depressed and sad.
In the past, experts
thought bipolar disorder was the same in children and adults. But symptoms in
children and teens are different from those in adults, and they need different

families. Your child has a greater risk of having it if a close family member
such as a parent, grandparent, brother, or sister has it. Parents may wonder
what they did to cause their child to have bipolar disorder. But there is
nothing a parent can do to cause or prevent it.
In children and teens, moods quickly change from one extreme to another
without a clear reason. Some children may briefly return to a normal mood
between extremes. Many children change continuously between mania and
depression, sometimes several times in the same day. Sometimes children with
bipolar disorder have symptoms of both mania and depression at the same
Times of mania (ups) or depression (downs) may be less obvious in children

This disorder can be hard to diagnose in children and teens. The symptoms
can look a lot like the symptoms of other problems, such as:
Bipolar disorder can often occur
along with these problems.
If your doctor thinks your child or
teen may have bipolar disorder, he or she may ask questions about your child's
feelings and behavior. Your doctor may also give you and your child written
tests to find out how severe the mania or depression is.
The doctor may do
other tests (such as a blood test) to rule out other health problems. He or she
may ask if your family has any history of mental illness or problems with drugs
or alcohol. Any of these problems can be linked to bipolar disorder.
Children with this disorder are more likely to have other problems. These

Hey guys.
I'm fairly new with OSX, so this might be a simple question for you to solve.
Trying to move some random files om my Macbook between OSX and my second partition, which is Bootcamp Windows 7.
Unfortunately whatever file format I've tried and setting to change, OSX doesn't allow me.
There's no error message, just the cursor icon below indicating it's not possible...
I have no problems moving files the other way around however..
Been trying googling for a solution to no avail.

By Emily J. Weitz
Liz Kramer and Deirdre Guest have discovered the triple threat of home ownership: interior design, property management, and staging. From re-imagining the décor of a house to making sure the pipes don't freeze in winter, they take care of their clients' homes as if they were their own. But when they're ready to rent or sell, Kramer and Guest also know how to prepare a house to look perfectly impersonal, so anyone could picture themselves settling into the living room couch.
Homework in the Hamptons, which has been around since 2000, is committed to tackling all three of these issues for homeowners.
"When we started out we were ridiculously ambitious," says Kramer. "And we knew if we had three divisions we could grow faster."
"We spend an equal amount of time in all three divisions," Guest adds. "When one division is slow we rely on the others."
As city transplants who now live on the East End year round, wearing a few different hats was critical to their success.
"When you're doing interior design, you end up doing everything anyway," says Guest. "It's a soup to nuts endeavor. You're managing operations, putting in the phone lines, overseeing repairs, putting fresh flowers on the table, opening the pool, getting the beach stickers, and stocking the fridge. The last thing people want to do when they come out here is shop at King Kullen or the IGA. So we do all the preparation prior to arrival."
While both women had careers before this and both had dabbled in interior design, they discovered the need for these services on their own. There were plenty of interior designers, but marrying the process with the property management that followed was novel.
"There was a big void where this was concerned," says Guest.
Adds Kramer, "When I moved out here I didn't know anybody. It was a lot to set up a house and do renovations. I remember thinking I wanted someone to do that for me someday."
Guest says, "It's kind of overwhelming: you don't know which landscaping company to choose or anything. We have a roster of service people who come when we call. You don't have to wait."
Many people who come out here don't know the trials and tribulations of homeownership. Leaking roofs and wild animals are issues that may not come up for renters in the city, but here they've got to deal with them themselves.
"We once walked into a house and the ceiling was dripping," recalls Guest. "The bathtub had filled up and leaked through the ceiling. We caught it before it caused hundreds of thousands dollars in damage… We pride ourselves on taking care of things before they happen. Checking a crack and taking care of it before it falls down. We save people money and headaches."
Staging is a concept that started on the West Coast, and was virtually unknown when Guest and Kramer started introducing it to real estate brokers 12 years ago.
"The advantage is huge," says Guest. "People walk in to these McMansions. There are so many rooms they don't know which one is used for what. Is this the family room? Parlor? Great room? We define it. It lets them see that they could live there."
"We would try to explain to the real estate brokers," says Kramer, "giving them figures and excerpts from articles in San Francisco and London. It was a difficult idea to sell to a seller."
Adds Guest, "Most of the time when people are selling their houses they want to make money, not spend it."
But since then, times have changed. From the real estate boom to the recession that followed, house staging has continued to grow.
"The worst year for everyone was out best year ever," says Kramer. She acknowledges that perhaps, as it gets harder to sell a house, people are willing to put a little more effort into the process. In addition, people have gotten more involved in the process.
"Since the crash, people are much more careful, discerning, and competitive."
All of that helps business.
Whether they're staging a house or doing interior decorating, Guest and Kramer go for a beachy, clean feel.
"We go for minimal, without being cold," says Guest. "We love that clean, calm, neutral palette. It's soothing and comfortable to live in. It's so gorgeous out here on the East End — you don't want to go too crazy in your house."
Kramer adds, "Plus, you want it to wear well with kids and dogs and that beach feel. You don't want it to feel too precious."
They find a lot of crossover in their business.
"We have a lot of people who do property management and design together," says Guest. "We already know the house; we set up their cable system. We got their sofa for them. We've done everything. And often when we do a staging project, we're then referred as designers."
The triple threat has worked for them at a time when the overall real estate business has been tumultuous.
"We marvel at the fact that we are two women who came and started this business and have survived ten years in a resort town during a recession," says Guest. "We think it's smart that we did the three businesses because when one was slow we had another to count on."

Diarrhea means loose, watery stools more than three times in one day. With diarrhea, you may also have cramps, bloating, nausea and an urgent need to have a bowel movement.
Diverticular Disease
Diverticula are small pouches that bulge outward through the colon or large intestine. Diverticulosis becomes more common as people age. About half of all people over age 60 have it. Doctors believe the main cause is a low-fiber diet.
Dysmotility occurs when certain muscles, including the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines fail to work normally when moving food, drink and medication through the gastrointestinal tract.
Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the esophagus.
Fatty Liver Disease
Fatty liver develops because the liver has difficulty breaking down fats, causing a buildup in the tissue and hampering its functions. Approximately 30 percent of American adults are affected by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Fecal Incontinence

Recommended Screenings
A colonoscopy checks your large intestine (colon) for abnormal growths or other problems using a narrow, flexible tube with a light and camera that goes through your rectum and into your colon.
Upper Endoscopy
An EGD is also called an upper endoscopy. It is done with a narrow, flexible tube that has a camera and lights that goes in through your mouth into the upper digestive tract. It allows your doctor to look into your esophagus, stomach and part of the small intestine called the duodenum. This tests helps your doctor diagnose illnesses and make plans for treatment if needed.

Originally founded in the
mid-eighties, the Thoroughbred Daily News was acquired in its entirety
by MediaVista, Inc. in 1993. A three-to-five page daily fax with 120
subscribers at that time, the TDN quickly grew from an industry upstart
to everyone's favorite daily read, now received by thousands of daily
subscribers. The TDN is published in Red Bank, New Jersey in the Jersey
Shore region by the busy staff of 23 listed below.
After attending the University of Pennsylvania, Weisbord began his racing career working on the backstretch for trainers Allen Jerkens and Walter Kelley in 1972. Two years later, he took out a trainer's license. After operating a small racing stable in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania with lifelong friend Alan Goldberg, Weisbord turned to bloodstock management, creating the Executive Bloodstock Management Corp. in 1979.
In 1983, he co-established the Matchmaker Breeders' Exchange, which introduced a new means of selling stallion seasons and shares via public auction, much like a stock market for racehorse futures.
From 1991 to 1993 Weisbord served as architect and president of the American Championship Racing Series, a coast-to-coast tour of televised championship events for older horses on ABC and ESPN.
In 1993, Weisbord co-founded MediaVista, which purchased a controlling interest in the Thoroughbred Daily News and became its publisher, moving the paper from Kentucky to New Jersey. The TDN has gone on to become the most influential daily newspaper in the Thoroughbred industry, serving nearly 10,000 daily readers.
In 2003, Weisbord was introduced to Trakus, a cutting-edge tracking technology originally applied to hockey. Weisbord was instrumental in the application of that technology to horse racing. Weisbord is now Trakus's Chairman of the Board, and has helped to develop their systems to allow the public to better follow their horse and understand racing. The technology has been perfected to create a real-time graphic display which continually identifies each horse during every stage of a race and produces the most complete set of data available, including the actual feet traveled per runner. The internet-compliant technology provides an easier introduction to the sport for new fans, and should help to introduce newcomers to the sport. Trakus systems are currently installed in racetracks throughout North America, including Woodbine, Keeneland, Del Mar, Churchill Downs, Gulfstream, Santa Anita, Belmont and others. Internationally, it has been implemented in Dubai's Meydan Racecourse, Singapore's Kranji Racecourse, Turkey's Veliefendi Race Course and at Sha Tin and Happy Valley in Hong Kong.
A Philadelphia native, Weisbord has owned and bred racehorses, and has been a commercial thoroughbred breeder for 30 years. He continues to operate a small racing stable, mostly in the New York and New Jersey area, highlighted by his co-ownership of 1989 Eclipse-Award winning sprinter and 1990 Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Safely Kept, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011. He is also an active participant in stallion investment and stallion portfolio management.
In June, 2008, he was elected to the board of the Breeders' Cup Limited Members and Trustees. In 2012, he was elected to the Board of Directors. He is currently co-chair of the Enhanced Experience Committee.
In 2013, Weisbord was selected as the winner of the John W. Galbreath Award for Outstanding Entrepreneurship in the Equine Industry from the University of Louisville's College of Business's Equine Industry Program.
Sue Finley spent her childhood commuting to Belmont Park from her home in Weston, Connecticut. A cum laude graduate of New York University with Bachelor's Degrees in French and Journalism, she began an internship in the NYRA press department while still a senior at NYU and accepted a full-time position at the track in her final term. She earned a scholarship for NYU's Master's program in French, but the lure of Belmont Park proved to be too great, and she left graduate school after a semester to concentrate on her racing career. She remained at NYRA for eight years, rising to the position of Senior Media Coordinator, and left in 1991 to work as a researcher for ABC's Wide World of Sports. In 1992, she took a job at one of ABC's properties, the American Championship Racing Series, where she served as Director of Administration and Publicity.
In 1993, she and ACRS founder Barry Weisbord took over the production of the Thoroughbred Daily News. Finley's written work has appeared in USA Today, the New York Daily News, the Thoroughbred Record and the Blood-Horse, among other publications, and she served as a feature producer for numerous ESPN horse-racing telecasts.
For 12 years, she was the First Vice President of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, a national organization dedicated to the humane retirement of former racehorses. She is currently pursuing a Professional Certificate in fundraising from NYU's George Heyman Center for Philanthropy.
A Boston Red Sox season-ticket holder, she lives a stone's throw from the TDN's Red Bank, NJ offices with her husband, Bill, a writer, and their two children.
Gary King is a native of Ireland, and grew up near the renowned Curragh racecourse. Gary graduated with a Bachelor of Business Studies from Trinity College Dublin (Ireland) in 2008, and then completed the Darley Flying Start management trainee program in 2010. Darley Flying Start provides twelve scholarships annually to people who want to study and experience the global Thoroughbred industry at the highest level. It combines a dynamic range of lectures, visits, and hands-on experience. The program has developed links with established universities and training providers worldwide, who deliver and certify business and equine modules.
Gary joined the TDN staff in July 2010, and holds the position as Director of Business Development.
A lifelong resident of Monmouth County, NJ, Jessica graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the College of St. Elizabeth in Convent Station, NJ. A love of writing and of horses led her to the publicity department of Monmouth Park racetrack where she spent two summers before joining the TDN staff in 1995.
When not slaving over a newsletter, she spends time with the two men in her life: a fun-loving German Shepherd named Hajj and Brian, an exuberant ex-racehorse with an irrational fear of trees.
Because pain is cathartic, Jessica enjoys distance running and has completed three marathons. She is a lover of Irish literature, Cary Grant movies and mocha frappaccinos.
Born and raised in suburban Chicago, Alan joined the TDN staff in September 1998. After receiving an advanced degree in German from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, he held various jobs outside the industry before pursuing his "dream job" in horse racing. A fan of the game ever since cashing a $17.80 show ticket on Tolomeo in the 1983 Budweiser (Arlington) Million, Alan would frequently attend morning workouts and rarely missed a weekend at the races. Now a resident of the Jersey Shore, Alan is the proud "Papa" to two little girls and recently became a new dad with the birth of Jake in June 2009.
Lucas Marquardt was born in Saratoga and raised in Schoharie, New York. His father, Robert, trained Standardbred horses before becoming a successful businessman. His mother, Jill McGrath, was a librarian who is now retired. Marquardt graduated Emerson College in Boston with a degree in Media Arts. He has lived in New York City since 2001. Marquardt has bred horses in New York and races at Charles Town in West Virginia with trainer John Dillow. Away from the track, his interests include the Dallas Cowboys, honky tonk bars, history books and competitive walking.
Steve Sherack joined TDN's editorial staff in May 2003, just a year after graduating from St. John's University with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism. The native New Yorker caught the racing bug at an early age following frequent trips to Belmont Park and Aqueduct, and family vacations to Saratoga Racecourse. Steve began his career in the industry as a handicapper and editor at American Turf Magazine, where he remains a correspondent. A sports fanatic, he rarely misses a season without catching a road game of his beloved New York Mets or a trip to the World's Most Famous Arena to root on the Red Storm in the Big East Tournament. After seven years of navigating the Belt Parkway and Staten Island Expressway, Steve finally traded in his E-Z Pass for an apartment in Red Bank, New Jersey, just a short walk from TDN headquarters.
Brian DiDonato joined the TDN staff in April 2010. He is a 2009 graduate of Connecticut College, where he majored in Philosophy and minored in English. Brian was first introduced to horse racing as a child during summer trips to Saratoga with his father. In the beginning, he had no interest in the racing and spent most of his time playing on the track playground, but as he got older he became fascinated with the races, the horses, and especially the art of handicapping. His hobby developed into an obsession during his freshman year of college and Brian soon decided to pursue a career in racing.
In the summer of 2008, he worked as a reporter for the New York Racing Association Press Office during the Saratoga meet. His experience confirmed that a job in racing was what he wanted. Brian is a native of Wethersfield, CT and currently resides Jersey City, NJ. He is an avid golfer and a big New York Yankees fan.
Justina, a Connecticut native and horse enthusiast since birth, became hooked on racing after spending many childhood summers in Saratoga. After trading class notes for past performances and college seminars for afternoons at Aqueduct it became obvious that a career in racing was inevitable. She joined the TDN team in April 2012 shortly after graduating from Trinity College with a degree in English literature. A fan of lost causes, she spends most of her time away from the track rooting for the Chicago Cubs and the Detroit Lions.
Born in Brooklyn but raised most of her life in Monmouth County, Christie is a lifelong equestrian, riding before she was walking. She was introduced to racing on annual trips to the Belmont Stakes with her father and she fell in love with the sport. She followed it regularly and was introduced to trainers and owners in the local industry, which lead to frequent trips to Monmouth Park. Christie joined the TDN in March 2013 after receiving her Masters degree in Communications from Rutgers University. She graduated with her Bachelors degree in Journalism from Rutgers as well in 2011.
When not at work in the TDN office, Christie can be found at the barn, riding her Quarter Horse mare Satin, who she competes in hunter jumper and barrel racing. Christie is also an avid photographer and has a small private equine photography business called Shutter Savvy Images.
Heather was raised in central Wyoming. Her love of horses, Thoroughbreds especially, originated from summers spent visiting her grandfather in Ohio, who bred American Quarter Horses. During college at the University of Wyoming, she completed an internship at Peterson and Smith Equine Reproduction Center in Summerfield, FL. This fueled her decision to enter the Thoroughbred industry after obtaining her degree. She graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science in late 2009 and participated in the Kentucky Equine Management Internship (KEMI) in Lexington, KY from January to June 2010 for the breeding and foaling season. Heather joined the TDN in December 2013. Away from the office, she spends most of her time running, reading and working on her handicapping skills.
A native of Fethard, Co. Tipperary in Ireland, home of Coolmore Stud, Nichola Henry graduated from Dublin Business School with a BA Hons in Business Studies in 2012. During her time in college she worked in Coolmore Australia in the Hunter Valley and as a seasonal bid spotter with Goffs Bloodstock Sales in Co. Kildare, Ireland. The latest recruit to the staff at TDN, Nichola has a particular interest in social media and digital marketing.
A long-time New Jersey resident, Ben made countless visits to Monmouth Park during his formative years, quickly becoming intrigued by thoroughbred racing and following the sport closely ever since. Ben graduated from The College of William and Mary in 2011 with a B.A. in History and received an M.A. in History from Drew University in May 2013. He competed as a track and cross country athlete in high school and at the Division I collegiate level, garnering a national championship and multiple state championships along the way. A few years older and a few minutes slower, Ben continues to enjoy recreational running, hiking, and engaging in spirited handicapping discussion and debate with his father. Ben joined the TDN staff in November 2014, fulfilling an aspiration to combine his educational background in research and writing with his passion for racing and admiration for the thoroughbred horse.
European and Worldwide Information Services
Kelsey Riley joined the TDN staff in July 2012, and was promoted to International Editor in 2013. In this role, Kelsey oversees the daily TDN content from countries outside the U.S. and Canada. From Ontario, Canada, Kelsey fell in love with horses at a young age, and barrel raced for seven years. She watched her first Thoroughbred race when she was 13, and hasn't looked back since. Kelsey worked at Schonberg Farm and Woodbine Racetrack while completing a degree in media studies at the University of Guelph-Humber in Toronto. In 2010 she was accepted to the Darley Flying Start program, and spent two years working and learning in the Thoroughbred industries in Ireland, England, Kentucky, Australia, and Dubai. This unique opportunity allowed Kelsey to learn from industry leaders and visit most of the world's major racetracks, stud farms, and bloodstock sales companies.
From an Irish family steeped in horseracing, Newmarket-born Sean Cronin spent part of his early years at the Lillingston Family's Mount Coote Stud in Kilmallock, Co. Limerick. His first racing memory was Red Rum's dramatic defeat of Crisp in the 1973 Grand National and from that moment his passion for the sport was ignited.
Having initially trained as an accountant, Sean joined the accounts department of the British Bloodstock Agency in 1988 before taking a role at Martin Pearce's World Racing Network in 1997. He has run CafeRacing alongside Tom Frary since 2000 and currently resides in the picturesque county of Norfolk, England (a long stone's throw from The Queen's Royal Studs).
Alongside Red Rum's first Aintree success, his fondest memories include The Minstrel's 1977 Derby, El Gran Senor's 1984 2000 Guineas, Dancing Brave's 1986 Arc de Triomphe, Royal Academy's 1990 Breeders' Cup Mile, Motivator's 2005 Derby and all three of Istabraq's Champion Hurdle wins. An avid fan of the West Ham United soccer team and the Limerick hurling team, Sean is the eldest son of the late Johnny Cronin--a former member of the Tattersalls groundstaff--and the father of Thomas, Benjamin, Jessica, Róisín and Daisy.
Tom Frary was born and grew up in Norwich, England, the biggest city near Newmarket. After getting a Bachelors Degree, with honors, in Politics at Leeds University, he started working for Martin Pearce's World Racing Network in 1999 after winning the Martin Wills Memorial Trust Racing Writing Awards. His love of racing goes back to his early childhood, with visits to Newmarket and the coast's Great Yarmouth sowing the seeds.
He now runs Cafe Racing (which supplies the TDN with its European information, and more) alongside Sean Cronin and continues to live and breathe horseracing...although an interest in cycling is starting to creep up on him thanks to being introduced to the Tour de France.
He is married to Louise, who has seen to it down the years that there is a large animal presence in the Frary household, and they now pander to the needs of their horse Dolly, dogs Quinn and Charlie, and cats Oscar and Cato.

Customer Service
Vicki Forbes is a native of Frostburg, Maryland. She got her start in racing freelance riding at farms in the Baltimore area. She galloped horses at Pimlico for trainer Frank Bonsal, before marrying trainer John Forbes and taking almost two decades off to raise a family. Acting on a tip from bloodstock agent Eddie Rosen, the Thoroughbred Daily News lured her out of retirement in 1997 for what they claimed would be a temporary project...and never let her go. She has risen to the position of Director of Customer Services, where she serves as the TDN's primary (and invaluable) interface with clients.
She lives in Holmdel, New Jersey with her husband, John, their three children, and four-legged friends too numerous to mention.
Information Technology
Robert grew up skiing in the mountains surrounding his native Lake Tahoe. In
elementary school, where a computer in the classroom was a novel concept, he
embraced the new technology and soon taught his teachers how to program.
Later, dabbling in the earliest days of dial-up Internet, he built his first
major e-commerce website, bringing a worldwide customer base to a small
regional company with an unusual product. Robert had found his niche.
Thoroughbred racing eventually lured Robert to Lexington, Kentucky, where he
spent 13 years melding his love of technology with racing. He built Williams
Internet Design & Services from scratch in 1999 and eventually had a number
of Lexington's biggest farms and horse businesses on his client roster. In
2001, Thoroughbred Daily News decided to build a presence on the web and
Robert has been on board ever since. As TDN's website grew, so did Robert's
concentration on the TDN product until he finally joined the staff full-time
in 2007.
Always ready for an adventure, Robert pulled up stakes in Lexington in 2010
and spent two years telecommuting from the road while traveling North
America in an RV along with his wife and young children. He's now based in
TDN's New Jersey office.
A Kansas native who has worked in racing journalism since 1974, he is the co-founder of the newsletter Racing Update, and served as the paper's editor until 1993, when he moved to Scotland. Oppenheim developed a reputation as an independent observer of the sales scene in the early 1980's, and he and the staff of Racing Update originated a number of methods of stallion and sales analysis which have been adopted throughout the industry. For the past 10 years he has written a weekly column for TDN, as well as reporting from the major sales. He also works as a consultant, primarily for pedigree analysis, in a private capacity.
Andrew Caulfield writes a weekly column for the Thoroughbred Daily News on pedigree analysis, a fascination which crystallised during the 12 years he spent as one of the principal writers at Timeform, where he was responsible for researching the pedigrees of all the two-year-olds. The former editor of The Thoroughbred Breeder, Pacemaker and The European Racehorse, he was also The Sporting Life's bloodstock correspondent for 12 years. For the past eight years, he has written a weekly racing column for Japan's Gallop magazine in Japan, and is also works as a bloodstock consultant, principally for Juddmonte Farms.

By Kathryn G. Menu
While the results have yet to be made official by the Suffolk County Board of Elections (BOE), according to Southampton Town Democratic Party chairman Gordon Herr, it appears that Independence Party member Brad Bender and Republican Stan Glinka have held on to their Election Day leads and will join the Southampton Town Board in January.
On Wednesday morning, an official with Suffolk County BOE chairman Anita Katz's office declined comment on the race stating official results would not be available until later this week.
However, Herr said the counting of 879 absentee ballots was completed last Wednesday and that Bender and Glinka have secured seats on the town board.
Bender and Glinka bested Bridgehampton resident Jeff Mansfield and Southampton Town Deputy Supervisor Frank Zappone in the town board race.
"I am so very thankful to my friends, family, co-workers, colleagues, everyone who was so generous and encouraging during the campaign," said Glinka, the town board race's top vote getter, in a statement on Wednesday. "But more importantly I am thankful to the voters of this great town, my hometown of Southampton, for endorsing me with their vote. I look forward to continuing to listen to all the people and to working on finding balanced solutions to many crucial issues at hand."
"As I committed to be your full time representative, I am currently winding down my workload and finishing off projects that are in progress," said Bender, who is in the construction field. "I am excited about this next chapter in my life as a public servant. Working for you the taxpayers to solve problems and protect our community."
