The 54-year-old native of Hagerstown, Maryland, notched his first career training victory at Delaware Park with a horse named Attainable in 1978, which was the third consecutive year his father Richard was the leading trainer at the track. Anthony Dutrow has won more than 14 stakes at Delaware Park. He has won the local prep for the Delaware Oaks four-times, but he has never won the Delaware Oaks or the Delaware Handicap.
Dutrow thought he had won the Delaware Oaks in 2010 with Havre de Grace. In deep stretch, Havre de Grace took a brief lead, but Blind Luck nipped her in the final jump in the first of the six race rivalry.
Dutrow had the same reaction as everybody else in the crowd that day.
"Watching the race, I thought we won," said Dutrow. "But when I saw the photo for the win, it confirmed we had lost. It is still hard to believe, but those were two very very special fillies."
Dutrow knows the history of the Delaware Park filly and mare classics as well as anybody. He understands what it means to be a part of those traditions.
"Having grown up in this area and having the benefit of watching these races for the last 45 years, with all the great fillies and their great connections, I could not help to want to be in a position to win these races," he said. "As a young man and throughout my career, I have seen so many great fillies participate in these races and it would be a bit of a dream come true to be able to win them. Relaxing, the dam of Easy Goer, and Mississippi Mud, the dam of Dixieland Band, and so many of the great fillies and mares ran in the Delaware Park classics for females. The connections with these horses are all legendary. Just to name a few, you have Ogden Phipps, Jane Lunger, Bayard Sharp and Del Carroll and so many other legendary names. It would be very special and may be a little overwhelming for me to be able to win one. We have come close before, so hopefully we will be able to get it done this Saturday."
Both Grace Hall and Wicked Mizz have been stabled at Delaware Park since the beginning of the season. On July 8, Grace Hall breezed a half-mile in :47, and on June 30 she breezed four furlongs in :47.20. On July 9, Wicked Mizz breezed four furlongs in :48.40, and on July 2 she breezed four furlongs in :48.20
Moquett leaning toward Delaware Oaks with Amie's Dini
Trainer Ron Moquett is leaning toward entering Amie's Dini in the $400,000 Grade II Delaware Oaks this Saturday. Entries will be taken for the mile-and-a-sixteenth affair this Wednesday.
"We are really undecided right now, but we are leaning toward entering in the Delaware Oaks," said trainer Ron Moquett. "She is doing a great, and it seems like she really likes the track. I flew her up from Churchill in time to work and train her in preparation should we decide to go."
In her most recent, Amie's Dini finished eighth after a troubled trip in the mile-and-an-eighth Grade I Kentucky Oaks on May 4. Previously, the Kentucky-bred ran second in the mile-and-a-sixteenth Grade II Honeybee Stakes at Oaklawn Park on April 11. She breezed five furlongs in :59.60 at Delaware Park on July 6.
"In the Kentucky Oaks, she was five wide throughout the whole race and she still tried," he said. "I look for her to get a better trip here, and I look for her to rebound. She will have to run her best race because there are some pretty good fillies pointing for the race, but we are ready for her to give a good effort."
Amie's Dini has a career record of three wins, three seconds and a third from eight starts, with earnings of $193,896.

Was a nice walk oalong the Pawtuxet River, with lots of mills, artifacts, and historical scenery along the way. The River was really flooded, so we couldn't walk around the mill. This mile long route needs to be a little more maintained, but nothing major. There were only a few shrands of glass along the pathway. This used to be the old Trestle Trail, and Train Rails. It was interesting to learn thattrains used to travel along the path. It has lots of hidden gems, even waterfalls, not viewable from the road. I will definitly be coming back here with my camera and metal detector. One last thing, the mill has been vandalized by kids, but is overall safe. You are not permitted to use the insides, exept a big section was preserved into a basketball indoor court. This trail includes walking, jogging, dirt biking, biking, cross-country skiing, and lots more outdoor activities.
The trail leads down to the ocean and it's just a gorgeous view! Not a lot of parking, but never overcrowded.
Contact with the Hop River design team has developed some news on the last remaining undeveloped area on the Hop River Trail. The section on the Windham side of the Willimantic River is under construction. A late summer opening is anticipated. This work will allow traffic over the Willimantic River from the current end at Mackey's Ag. store. A parking area is also part of the work.
The Trail from the Columbia town line to Kings Road (the current end of the developed trial) will be under design late this year. Bids, construction and all that stuff pushes the completion into 2021.
So late this summer, with a MT bike, you will be able to cross the river from Windham and follow the unimproved rail bed to Flanders Road, turn right to Kings Road and get back on the improved trail, That's less than a mile of off trail and local road.
Just a mile or so due North is another EXCELLENT off-road biking destination: Wildwood State Park on Long Island Sound. 700 undeveloped acres of mountain biking and hiking trails open to the public.
As I am not from RI, and was not familiar with the roads in that area, I initially had a hard time finding this trail. When locating trails I use a Garmin Navigation System for directions. The listed address of "Railroad Ave" at the Amtrak trailhead didn't seem to come up in my Garmin's database. If using a GPS navigation system, search on "Kingston Station", or "Amtrak Kingston" instead.
loved it
Paved path of just about 8.5 miles (all off the regular roadways) provides a great pathway for all skill levels. Beginners can take a leisurely ride with gradual inclines or more experienced riders can challenge themselves with speed and cadence. The path is completely free of roadway dangers as it is only open to walkers, bikers, skaters, etc. It has quite a bit of shady areas to stay out of direct sun due to its location near the woods. Some nice natural scenery. Start/end point located near Veteran Memorial and Isaac Dog Park for other points of interest.
We started in Providence at India Point Park. It was a beautiful blue bird day in the high 70's with little to no wind. A perfect day for a bike ride. However, after riding the entire length of the trail from Providence to Bristol and back, we feel this is another Hall of Fame Trail that is so over hyped it is almost criminal. First, there are no facilities anywhere on the trail. Be prepared to buy lunch somewhere if you need to go to the bathroom. The trail surface is paved and in excellent condition with lane markers dividing the trail. It is probably the best trail surface we've ever ridden on. It is very flat, but it is also very narrow. You will have to watch out for walkers and runners, ALL of whom ignore the trail signs and walk against the flow of bike traffic. Be prepared to do a lot of weaving in and out of traffic. When it comes to scenery, the bridge that you cross when leaving India Point Park from the Providence trail head is beautiful. Then there is one small section of trail about a half a mile long where the trees form a very pretty tunnel you ride through. As you get into Bristol, you get some views of the bay, (which are for the most part obscured by chain link fencing). However, for the most of the trails length, there is nothing to see except the small trees and scrub brush that lines both sides of the trail. There really isn't anything to see. For as much as this trail is hyped as a Hall of Fame Trail, we expected much more, and to be honest, were thoroughly disappointed, and left wishing we had just ridden one of our local trails instead.
I found this trail to be very easy and smooth. No bumps along the way. It's got a few disconnects but nothing major. Hilly at times which gives you a work out. It would be awesome if it went all the way to the ocean! We parked at the train station which was crowded on a Sunday late morning.
In April 2018 the Windham Town Council approved $1,300,000 for rehabilitation on the Willimantic River bridge behind Mackeys. This would include 800 feet of trail. It was put out for bids due on July 26th. I haven't seen any work yet. There is still the bridge over the Hop River which looks to be in terrible shape and may never be repaired.
Serene and peaceful
Quick update that a stretch of trail less than one mile between Cornwall Av. and West Main St. in Cheshire is now officially opened, avoiding a detour onto Willow St. There is now a continuous, paved, off-road stretch of trail some 25 miles from Temple St. in downtown New Haven to Lazy Lane in Southington.

Germany leads global enterprise social push
It's all in the process, Mein Herr
German firms were hailed as the surprise global leaders in social business, according to a panel of industry experts who emphasised the importance of process, measurement and cultural fit in enterprise social programs.
IBM's VP of social business evangelism, Sandy Carter, told attendees at the Social Media Matters conference in Hong Kong on Friday that it's the highly process-oriented nature of German businesses that makes their social projects so successful.
She gave the example of pharmaceutical company Bayer, which wrapped social media into its patent creation processes and apparently witnessed a snowballing of innovation and collaboration which led to a 15 per cent increase in the number of patents it generated.
Measuring return on investment, whether it's internally or externally focused, is equally important to the success of corporate social media programs, even if it presents challenges, Carter added.
"It's still early days but you have to measure what you can. Do like the Germans and measure your processes before and after," she said.
Business leaders and CIOs were also encouraged to be honest with themselves because for some organisations there simply won't be a tight enough cultural fit to ensure success with certain social projects.
"You need a culture which is accepting of ideas from any level of the organisation and not a lot of companies have that today," said Carter.
Cisco's VP of marketing for APAC, Japan and Greater China, Sabrina Lin, explained the problems that can occur when corporate culture and other pressures negatively impact social engagement programs.
"It can be a resourcing nightmare," she said. "At one point half of our microsites were not updated for 12 months and no-one noticed. You need to proactively end-of-life these things."
Former Yahoo! VP, Ken Mandel, who's now APAC MD of recent Salesforce acquisition Buddy Media, argued that organisations serious about social need to make it easier for all of their knowledge workers to upload content to the web quickly and easily.
"A micro site with no fresh content is like a conversation with one person not saying anything," he added. "You shouldn't have to go through a four day process." ®

Raiders coach Dennis Allen and his staff will coach the North team in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., according to the Senior Bowl web site.
The South team will be coached by Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz and his staff.
Coaching the Senior Bowl will in theory give the Raiders a leg up on scouting some of the country's best senior talent heading into the scouting combine Feb. 20-26 in preparation for the NFL draft from April 25-27.
The Raiders at present hold the No. 3 overall pick in the draft.
"It's a great opportunity for the Raiders,'' Allen said in a Senior Bowl release. "It gives us a chance to get a solid evaluation on these players. We get a better feel on them because we see them in meetings, we work with them in practice and we can determine whether their personality will fit well in our locker room.
"It's an opportunity to get an in-depth feel on a lot of those guys.''
The Senior Bowl is scheduled for Jan. 26 at 1 p.m. at Ladd Peebles Stadium in Mobile.
The Raiders and Lions staffs will conduct practices throughout the week.

As the patent infringement court battle between tech giants Apple and Samsung draws to a close in California following three weeks of arguments and testimony, presiding judge Lucy Koh has come up with a rather novel idea: she's told the two companies to talk on the phone at least once to try to reach a settlement before the jury comes to give its verdict.
But many who've been following events at the San Jose federal court would probably agree there's about as much chance of that happening as there is of Apple boss Tim Cook and Samsung chief Choi Gee-sung parachuting off the Burj Khalifa together wearing penguin suits singing "You Are My Sunshine."
In the multi-billion dollar patent battle, Apple is accusing Samsung of ripping off the design of its iPhone and iPad devices in the creation of some its own smartphones and tablets, including the Korean company's Galaxy range of mobile devices.
The Cupertino company wants a permanent sales ban imposed on these Samsung products, as well as monetary damages. But it's not all one-way traffic. Samsung accuses Apple of infringing a number of its patents, including ones linked to the way smartphones deal with email attachments, photos and the playing of music files.
Speaking in court on Wednesday, Koh told lawyers for Apple and Samsung, "It's time for peace."
Reuters reported that the judge told both sides they had "succeeded in raising awareness about the importance of their intellectual property rights."
She added that she saw risks for both companies in leaving the outcome of the case to the nine-member jury – risks highlighted in this recent DT article by Simon Hill. He suggests that if Apple and Samsung don't settle by themselves and it's instead left to the jury, there'll be "a storm" in the world of tech.
But both Cook and Gee-sung have already met once in a bid to resolve the long-running dispute. When the two company bosses sat around a table in April, they failed to reach any agreement – hence the current court case.
And after three weeks of costly court-based back-and-forth between Apple and Samsung, does anyone really believe Koh's plea will come to anything?

I like the way Jemma is always nice to Brooke, Tammy, her Mom, Dad, Brother and Amanda Zeig it reminds me of me because I am nice to almost everybody I meet. My favorite part in this book is when Jemma read a letter to Brooke when she shouldn't have. I liked that part because Jemma discovered something she couldn't tell anyone. This story reminds me of one time my friend and I were in a big fight. Jemma is in a big fight with her friend Tammy, too. The lesson we both learned is that you shouldn't be jealous or that you shouldn't fight with your best friend or anyone.
This book is mostly about friendship. I think girls would like this book because it is about girls too. I think 3 graders, 4 graders and 5 graders would think it will be good.

Whether you go for a basic eye look with a fun pop of color or an all-out, multicolored work of art, Mary Kay At Play® has you covered with high-impact Bold Fluid Eyeliners. The ultrathin, flexible eyeliner helps create precise lines with color that dries quickly and stays put to keep you on the go. It brightens eyes and provides dramatic definition that's easy to remove. Mix and match with any Mary Kay At Play® color for a trendsetting look you'll love.
Start at the outer corners of the eyelids and work toward the middle of the lashlines. Then finish the lines, applying from the inner corners of the eyes to meet where you left off. To help draw even lines, use small sketching motions or try drawing small dots directly along the lashlines and connecting them.
Step 1: Follow the natural upward curves of the eyes and draw short lines as your guides.
Step 2: Start at the outer corners of your guides and work back toward the middle of the upper lashlines to create your "wings." Fill in the wings.
Step 3: Complete the cat eyes by drawing from the inner corners of the eyes to meet where you left off.
Go for a bold, multicolor look: Use one color on the upper lashlines and create a color gradient with two or three different colors on the bottom lashlines. Use the darker color on the outside of your lower lashlines and blend to lighter shades toward the inside corners of your eyes.

There's a fine line between evolution and de-evolution, and which process Fitz and the Tantrums is experiencing on its sophomore effort, "More Than Just a Dream," depends on what you liked about the L.A. band's breakout debut. That record, the retro-soul-fueled "Pickin' Up the Pieces," delivered a few memorable hits, "Breakin' the Chains of Love" and "MoneyGrabber," and propelled the band to modest success while inviting comparisons to the more assured and charismatic Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.
But Fitz has changed, the proof being the first few moments of "Dream," the band's initial release under a new deal with Elektra Records. Much of the 1960s Atlantic and Stax soul that inspired "Pieces" has vanished; in its place, the band has drawn cues from the 1980s pop-soul of Hall & Oates, the Eurythmics and George Michael, replacing brass with synths, the snap of clear analog snare drum with more processed ones.
As on its predecessor, band founder and singer Michael "Fitz" Fitzpatrick understands what makes a good song, as evidenced by "Get Away" and "The End," two gems that suggest evolution. And co-vocalist Noelle Scaggs' charisma overflows. But the about-face often feels like a money grab, less an aesthetic decision than a chase for the charts, as though when the band exited the stage in 2012, it dropped the suits and horns off at Goodwill and headed to Guitar Center to gear up anew. Will it work? It just might.

George & Charlotte Steal The Show In Canada
While we've been enjoying all of the beautiful moments from the royal Canadian tour so far, it's no secret that the expected appearance of Prince George and Princess Charlotte at Thursday's garden party was the moment everyone had been waiting for.
And the youngest royals certainly didn't disappoint; once again, Charlotte was carried by mum Kate and dressed in a pretty blue-and-red smock dress that, we're sure, has already sold out, while George briefly held on to Prince William's hand - before taking off across the grass.
The party, held at Government House (where the family have been staying), was in honour of military families and came complete with petting zoo, balloon animals and musical instruments.
Between Princess Charlotte happily plonking herself on an enormous dog called Moose and delightedly burying her face in a tiny rabbit and Prince George requesting a balloon shaped "like a volcano; that's the lava!", before blowing bubbles in a rather stern-looking William's face, it's safe to say that the afternoon was officially too cute.
Prince George, giving zero fucks and blowing bubbles right into the face of the future King of England. This KID. pic.twitter.com/vJZko94oNq— Deirdre M Fogarty (@Deirdre_Fogarty) September 29, 2016
Our favourite moments though? Prince George tightly squeezing his dad, and Princess Charlotte tightly squeezing her balloon flower.

WilmonFilm tidbits: 'Secrets' casts 'Sons of Anarchy' alum, 'Reclaim' releases first trailer, 'Perfect Summer' hits DVD
It's been a busy week for Wilmington film and television news. Let's take a look at some of the news hitting the big and small screens.
– Deadline reports that ABC's locally filmed "Secrets and Lies" has cast Michael Beach (FX's "Sons of Anarchy) in the recurring role of Jim Fenton, a charming, genuine, trustworthy guy who can make anyone feel at ease." It is unclear how Beach's character will fit into the suburban murder mystery about a family (Ryan Phillippe) who becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a young boy in his neighborhood. The series, set to premiere next spring, is currently in production in the region.… Read More »

A new Carnegie Mellon University study released last week reveals that hybrid and diesel-engine vehicles are a better value compared to vehicles with gasoline engines.
The economics of hybrids and diesels are commonly evaluated based on their purchase price—on average higher than comparable gas-powered cars—compared to savings on fuel during their use. Retention of value—in terms of higher resale value—can skew the economic benefits in favor of alternative fuel-efficient cars, such as hybrid, diesels and electric cars.
The Carnegie Mellon researchers compared the Volkswagen Jetta TDI with the Jetta 5C and 4C; the Toyota Prius with the standard Toyota Camry sedan; the Honda Hybrid Civic with the conventional Civic; and the Mercedes-Benz E320 diesel with the E350.
The Jetta TDI and Toyota Prius came away as clear winners in terms of retaining a greater percentage of their initial purchase price. The study was underwritten by Bosch, a leading manufacturer of diesel technology, and was conducted by researchers at CMU's Tepper School of Business. Researchers used auction data—provided by Manheim Auctions, a wholesale vehicle operator—for vehicles sold after three years of ownership.
Bosch obviously wanted third-party validation that clean diesel cars are a smart consumer choice. But the study also confirmed that hybrids, like the Prius, provide a similar resale benefit. This was especially true in summer 2008, when gas prices spiked. It was also true—although to a lesser degree—when fuel prices dropped in 2009.
Gas and diesel prices are on the rise again in 2011, and are forecast to continue climbing in the coming years. This trend supports the economic argument that fuel efficiency is a desirable vehicle feature that will retain its value for today's car buyers.

My friend Christine Selinger and her son have done something that I think deserves some kind of award. Her son's favourite book is Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, and for his school project, Chris decided they should use cake. Yes, this is totally edible, and indeed, was eaten that very day by the class.
Four handmade cakes, two different kinds of homemade icing, jello, three different kinds of brown sugar for the sand, all adds up to one enormously creative ode to a great book.
If you've read the book, you'll recognize items in the model. Turtle eggs. The sinking plane. Berries. The skunk. Moose, wolf, bear. The cave. Is this seriously cool or what? What do you think? Mom of the Year Award material?

A Dust Storm on Mars
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope snapped this picture of Mars on October 28, within a day of its closest approach to Earth on the night of October 29. Hubble astronomers were also excited to have captured a regional dust storm on Mars that has been growing and evolving over the past few weeks.
The dust storm, which is nearly in the middle of the planet in this Hubble view is about 930 miles (1500 km) long measured diagonally, which is about the size of the states of Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico combined. No wonder amateur astronomers with even modest-sized telescopes have been able to keep an eye on this storm. The smallest resolvable features in the image (small craters and wind streaks) are the size of a large city, about 12 miles (20 km) across. The occurrence of the dust storm is in close proximity to the NASA Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity's landing site in Sinus Meridiani. Dust in the atmosphere could block some of the sunlight needed to keep the rover operating at full power.
On October 29/30, Mars and Earth reached the point in their orbits where the two planets were the closest they have been since August of 2003. The red planet, named after the Roman god of war, won't be this close again to Earth until 2018. At the 2005 closest approach Mars was at a distance of 43 million miles (69 million km), comparatively a stone's throw across the solar system. Mars goes through a 26-month cycle where its distance from Earth changes. At times when the distance is smallest between the two planets, Mars appears brighter in the sky and larger through telescopes for Earth viewers.
This image of 2005 Mars closest approach was taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys. Different filters show blue, green, and red (250, 502 and 658 nanometer wavelengths). North is at the top of the image. Mars is now in its warmest months, closest to the Sun in its orbit, resulting in a smaller than normal south polar ice cap which has largely sublimated with the approaching summer.
The large regional dust storm appears as the brighter, redder cloudy region in the middle of the planet's disk. This storm has been churning in the planet's equatorial regions for several weeks now, and it is likely responsible for the reddish, dusty haze and other dust clouds seen across this hemisphere of the planet in views from Hubble, ground based telescopes, and the NASA and ESA spacecraft studying Mars from orbit. Bluish water-ice clouds can also be seen along the limbs and in the north (winter) polar region at the top of the image.

Qi gong is an ancient type of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been used for thousands of years. There are many different styles of performing Qi gong. The two main types of Qi gong practice are internal Qi gong and external Qi gong. Internal Qi gong is a self-directed technique that involves the use of sounds, movements, and meditation. Internal Qi gong actively engages people in their own health and well-being and can be performed with or without the presence of a Master instructor. It may be practiced daily to promote health maintenance and disease prevention. External Qi gong, also known as qi emission, is performed by a Master using his or her hands on a patient with the aim to project qi for the purpose of healing.
Qi gong is believed to be beneficial for three principal purposes: spiritual enlightenment, medical care, and martial arts/self-defense. Medical Qi gong can involve internal or external techniques and often includes five steps: meditation, cleansing, recharging/strengthening, circulating, and dispersing qi. Each step includes specific exercises, meditations, and sounds. Qi gong is intended to be harmonious with the natural rhythms of the environment and has been described as "a way of working with life energy."
Evidence Table
These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Good evidence suggests that Qi gong, when used with conventional treatments, may be of benefit for high blood pressure. Initial research reports fewer deaths among people with high blood pressure who practice Qi gong. There is some evidence that internal Qi gong relaxation exercises may be safe for helping to control high blood pressure associated with pregnancy. Further research is warranted.
There is some evidence suggesting that Qi gong may be used in the treatment of angina (chest pain). However, further evidence is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Some research suggests that the regular practice of internal Qi gong over several months may improve breathing in asthma. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
There is some evidence supporting the use of external Qi gong together with standard therapies for blocked arteries. However, the available evidence is unclear. More studies would lead to a better understanding of this technique.
There is promising early evidence to support the use of internal Qi gong in the treatment of ADHD in children. Further research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Preliminary evidence suggests that Qi gong may be effective in treating young children with autism. Further studies are needed in this area before a conclusion can be made.
Several studies suggest that Qi gong may benefit cancer patients. Additional research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Preliminary evidence suggests that Qi gong may be useful in the treatment of heart conditions. Additional high quality studies are needed before a conclusion can be made.
Preliminary data suggests that Qi gong coupled with group support may improve functional quality of life for patients undergoing cardiovascular rehabilitation. Additional studies of the effect of Qi gong alone are needed before a conclusion can be made.
Children are capable of receiving instruction in internal Qi gong as a health promotion activity and it may have some behavioral benefits. However, it is unclear whether Qi gong can promote physical growth in children. More research is needed.
Preliminary evidence suggests that practicing mindfulness meditation and/or Qi gong three times weekly for a year may contribute to improvement in overall health. Additional research on Qi gong alone is needed before a conclusion can be made on the use of this therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome.
There is some evidence that internal Qi gong or externally applied Qi gong may be useful in the management of pain and anxiety. More evidence is needed in this area before a conclusion can be made.
There is some evidence that patients with complex regional pain syndrome might benefit from Qi gong instruction. However, more research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Limited study suggests that Qi gong may aid in reducing the anxiety and withdrawal symptoms associated with heroin detoxification. Additional research is needed.
There is some evidence that patients with diabetes may benefit from Qi gong. More research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Scientific evidence regarding the usefulness of Qi gong in treating fibromyalgia is mixed. More research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Traditional tai chi and Qi gong (TQ) practice has been shown to improve the immune response to influenza vaccine in older adults. Further study is needed to determine the effect of Qi gong alone.
Some evidence suggests that internal Qi gong may be useful in the treatment of gastritis. Further research is needed.
Some evidence suggests that internal Qi gong may help in treating immune deficiencies. Further research is needed in this area.
Sufficient scientific evidence on the use of Qi gong to treat chronic kidney failure is lacking. Additional research is needed in this area.
Preliminary study suggests that Qi gong therapy may improve white blood cell count in breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy. Further study is warranted in this area.
Early evidence suggests that internal Qi gong practice may help slow the decline of health in muscular dystrophy patients. More research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
There is promising early evidence suggesting that internal Qi gong may help in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. However, the evidence is unclear and further research is needed.
Regular Qi gong therapy may help to reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Further research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Qi gong may be beneficial for improving quality of life in cardiac and cancer patients. Further study is necessary to make a firm conclusion.
Preliminary study shows that Qi gong may be beneficial for relieving stress. Additional study is warranted in this area.
* Key to grades

Tradition / Theory
The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. There may be other proposed uses that are not listed below.
Addiction, anti-aging, anxiety, back pain, blood thinner, breathing, congestive heart failure, depression, gastrointestinal disease, general health maintenance, headache, heart attack prevention, heart rate abnormalities, improved sleep, improved workplace efficiency, increased drug absorption, liver disease, mania, mental illnesses, multiple sclerosis, nerve disorders, osteoporosis, peripheral vascular disease, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), psychosis, stroke (prevention), suicide prevention, well-being.
Many complementary techniques are practiced by healthcare professionals with formal training, in accordance with the standards of national organizations. However, this is not universally the case, and adverse effects are possible. Due to limited research, in some cases only limited safety information is available.
Qi gong is generally considered safe in most people when learned from a qualified instructor and practiced in moderation. In cases of potentially serious conditions, Qi gong should not be used in place of more proven therapies, and use of Qi gong should not cause delay in seeing an appropriate healthcare provider.
Qi gong may lower blood sugar levels. Caution is advised in patients with diabetes or hypoglycemia, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Blood glucose levels may need to be monitored by a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, and medication adjustments may be necessary.
Qi gong may increase the risk of bleeding. Caution is advised in patients with bleeding disorders or in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that may increase the risk of bleeding. Dosing adjustments may be necessary.
Qi gong may cause low blood pressure. Caution is advised in patients taking drugs, herbs or supplements that lower blood pressure.
Use cautiously in patients with pre existing psychoses or in vulnerable individuals without a psychiatric history.
Use cautiously in immune-compromised individuals as Qi gong has been shown to have immune effects.
Use cautiously in pregnant or breastfeeding women due to limited safety evidence.
Allergic skin reaction has been reported.
Abnormal psychosomatic responses or mental disorder may be induced.

The Data Center Hot/Cold Aisle Containment Debate Optimizing air flow in your data center has several key benefits, including reductions in energy cost and carbon footprint. Most server equipment manufactured today is designed to draw in air through the front and exhaust it out the rear. This allows equipment racks to be arranged to create hot aisles and cold aisles. This 'hot/cold aisle containment' approach positions racks so that rows of racks face each other, with the front of each opposing row of racks drawing cold air from the same aisle

Last year, the Lions kept defensive end Cliff Avril from hitting free agency with a franchise tag that paid him $10.5 million for one season.
This year, Avril is looking for something that provides more security, either in Detroit or elsewhere.
"Let's be real you only get free agency once in your career so you definitely want to try and get some money, no doubt about that," Avril recently told Erik Kuselias of Pro Football Talk on NBC Sports Network. "That would definitely be a big part of it. And then, just being somewhere. I just want to be settled in for the next four or five years."
Avril doesn't know whether that somewhere he'll be settled in for four or five years will be Detroit. "I guess it's 50-50," Avril said regarding his chances of staying. "I don't know right now."
He also reiterated something he said back in February 2012: A hometown discount is unlikely for the Lions. "It depends on why I would be taking less money first off," Avril said. "I really don't know if I'd take less right now."
The question becomes how much more someone will offer. He said he'd be interested in a warmer climate, if he doesn't stay in Detroit.
The Lions could try to use the tag again, but it would cost $12.6 in cash and cap dollars for 2013. And that's likely something the Lions couldn't afford to do, again.This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!

To: Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks, Federal Branches and Agencies, Technology Service Providers and Software Vendors, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel
Description: Retail Payment Systems Booklet
The guidance attached to this bulletin continues to apply to federal savings associations.
The The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) has released an updated Retail Payment Systems Booklet (booklet), which replaces the version issued in March 2004. The booklet is one of 12 that, in total, comprise the FFIEC IT Examination Handbook.
The updated booklet incorporates developments in various aspects of retail payments activities since the first edition was issued and provides guidance on the risks and risk-management practices applicable to national banks. The booklet's enterprise-wide perspective makes it a valuable tool to an entire organization in addition to an information technology department.
Significant revisions to the booklet include the following:
An electronic version of the Retail Payment Systems Booklet is available at http://ithandbook.ffiec.gov/it-booklets/retail-payment-systems.aspx. To accommodate banks with limited access to the Internet, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) will also include the booklet in the next release of e-files, the CD-based library of OCC publications provided to all national banks. Any bank that is not able to download the booklet may order a printed copy. Please send a written request by mail to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, 400 7th Street, SW, Washington, D.C. 20219.

Many of the world's greatest rugby players come from the Pacific Islands. But due to lack of funding and player poaching, as Nations their role in world rugby is diminishing.
SKINS, in their mission to protect the True Spirit of Competition, wanted to recognise the contribution of the Pacific Islands as well as drawing attention to the issues in order to help enable Pacific Island Rugby to stay in the game. The Rugby World Cup 2015 tournament was the perfect stage to launch a campaign that generated awareness about the issue. Thirty percent of players in the tournament had Pacific Island heritage, although they accounted for only 15% of teams. The combined population of Tonga, Samoa and Fiji is just 1.2 million people. In fact, the entire population of Tonga could fit inside Twickenham stadium!
Rugby fans love their home team. But everyone also has a favourite underdog. That was the concept behind the #myotherTEAM campaign. SKINS created The Pacific Islands Supporters' Club – celebrating Pacific Island flair and spirit, while working to improve the global status of Pacific Island rugby. We commissioned a series of Polynesian-designed home team rugby badges that fans could adopt and share on social media. The designs beautifully recreated the emblems of every single Rugby World Cup nation with an overlaid Polynesian motif and were created by a Polynesian tattoo artist as a symbolic icon to show the contribution the Pacific Islands makes to world rugby. People were asked to support the campaign with the hashtag #myotherTEAM and the emblem when their team wasn't playing.
What's more, we put our money where our mouth was by supplying compression garments to Samoa and Tonga.

Like just about all tires, good when new. 70k miles tires should not be on the label. My tires are rotated at every 5k miles when I get my oil change. So far at 25k, it's already down to 50%. 12/32 was new and now 6/32 tread left. This is probably a 50k tire, not 70k. Who knows, maybe someone else can get 70k. Other than tire wore a little quicker than expected, it's a superior tire at new.

Chicago Teachers Strike Enters 2nd Week
CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is turning to the courts to try to put an end to a teachers strike that's entering its second week.
The Chicago Teachers Union and school leaders seemed headed toward a resolution at the end of last week. But on Sunday, the teachers said they were uncomfortable with the tentative contract offer. They say they need more time to go over it before ending the standoff that's kept 350,000 students in the nation's third-largest school district out of class.
Emanuel says he's instructed city attorneys to seek a court order forcing teachers back into the classroom.
The strike is expected to last at least through Tuesday. It's left parents scrambling to make alternative child care arrangements.
Two main issues are teacher evaluations and job security.

Obvious disclaimer: I love this movie. But some of it makes absolutely no sense.
1. Chris's Insane Birthday Party Could've Happened Within Four Hours
Miranda won't be home for another FOUR HOURS? Great! That's just enough time to walk home, give one hundred kids and their parents ten minutes' advance notice of a party, book a "mobile petting zoo" (so that they can immediately send over a donkey, two ponies, a lamb, three goats [at least one of whom has a healthy appetite for begonias], a chicken, a rabbit, four pigs, about 15 geese and ducks, and ONE employee to watch them all), decorate the house with a buttload of balloons and streamers, design a party playlist (going heavy on the House of Pain, of course), go to a party store to buy those pointy paper hats, PARTY HARD for a few hours, wait for all the straggler attendees to get picked up, hide the presents the other kids brought for Chris, and clean up the entire house, as long as nosy Gloria Chaney next door doesn't get in the way! EXCEPT NOPE IT ISN'T. Take five. Take five million. You're dead.
2. Daniel Doesn't Even Try to Get Another Acting Job
Okay, so this adult man with three kids to support impulsively quits his job because of one tiny moral disagreement. Fine. It's a character trait. But then the movie makes ZERO effort to explain why Daniel can't get another job in his field, despite the fact that he's been a working actor for many years and should have tons of contacts. Just because Mrs. Sellner is not impressed with his voices doesn't mean he would suddenly drop that career path and become a shipping clerk. As a wise man once said, "I am job. I am job."
3. Miranda Never Checks Her Newspaper Ad
Miranda never checks the final printed version of her ad in the paper? Wouldn't that be the FIRST thing you'd do? Especially after receiving only four responses from completely insane people? Methinks someone deserves a few light slams for her cavalier attitude.
4. The Kids Discuss Their Day After Riding the Bus Together
About midway through the movie there's a short exchange that you may not remember, mostly because it's completely pointless. It goes like this:
- Lydia
Did you have fun in school?
- Nattie
- Lydia
What'd you do?
- Nattie
I painted a picture of a bunny, and the teacher liked it.
In addition to being almost identical to a conversation that happens between the same characters earlier in the movie ("Did you have fun in school?"/"I painted a picture of a rainbow."), this scene happens AFTER the kids get off the school bus that they were all riding together. This is an unfortunate example of a trend that happens all too often in movies and TV, where a conversation will flow seamlessly between different locations, totally ignoring the way people communicate while traveling through space in real life. We're left to assume that all three kids spent the entire bus ride in total silence, each thinking about how weird it is that their new babysitter smells exactly like their dad under her perfume.
