Noble Court Holds Off Law Breaker in San Vicente
Noble Court, who Nakatani said lost a shoe early in the seven-furlong race, needed room on the turn after racing on the rail behind the front-running Half Famous. Nakatani slipped the Doneraile Courtcolt between the pacesetter and Law Breaker, who drifted out on the turn a bit, and Noble Court hit the stretch in front. Noble Court appeared to be heading toward an easy victory mid-stretch, but Law Breaker and Aaron Gryder slowly cut into the advantage. The challenger ran out of room after a long sustained drive, though, as they crossed the wire in 1:23 on a wet fast track.
"He was running a little green, but I was just patient, was able to slide through on the inside and was able to find a seam coming around the turn," Nakatani said. "I'd rather save ground and win the race than ask the horse to do too much and not win the race."
Half Famous, the longest shot in the five-horse field at 16-1, set solid fractions of :22 2/5 and :45 2/5 under Agapito Delgadillo and held on for third, 1 3/4 lengths behind Law Breaker.
The task for the John Sadler-trained Noble Court was made easier before the start of the race when morning line favorite Major Pleasure was an early scratch by trainer Mike Pupe after more than a half-inch of rain overnight. Then second choice Hurry Up Austin (5-2) was scratched at the gate with what appeared to be a bent left hind shoe. With the loss of Hurry Up Austin, Noble Court's odds went from 6-5 to 3-5, and he went off a moment later at 4-5, paying $3.60, $2.20 and $2.10.
"He looked like he struggled with the track a little bit," said Sadler, who earned his 16th win at the meet, good for second in the trainer standings. "He was fighting it, but we're happy to come out with a win on a surface he didn't really love. It was a good race."
Asked what was going through his mind in the stretch run, he said: "Wire."
Sadler said Noble Court's next race would be around two turns, probably in the San Felipe Stakes (gr. II) at 1 1/16 miles on March 17.
In his stakes debut Jan. 7, Noble Court ran third, 2 1/2 lengths behind the standout colt E Z Warrior and Hurry Up Austin, in the six-furlong San Miguel. Prior to that he broke his maiden by four lengths in a six-furlong test on the Hollywood Park Cushion Track Dec. 9 in his second start. Noble Court earned $90,000 Sunday for owner Chris Atkinson of Arcadia and his partners to run his career total to $131,600.
Brereton C. Jones bred Noble Court, who is out of the Grindstone mare Grey Dawn Grey, in Kentucky. The bay colt sold for $190,000 last March at Ocala.
Law Breaker, who has run outstandingly in all four of his career efforts while winning two for trainer Bob Baffert, returned $2.60 and $2.20.
Half Famous, who tired in the one-mile San Rafael (gr. II) in his last start after shipping into Southern California from Turf Paradise for trainer Dan McFarlane, paid $3 to show.
The late-running Vaunt made up good ground from last on the turn but flattened out in the stretch to finish fourth. Spanish Influence trailed.

The Loop 101 Price Freeway is the southern end of the Loop 101. It extends from the Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway to the Loop 202 Santan Freeway, taking drivers through the eastern portion of Tempe and into Chandler.
The Galveston Street Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge will provide a crossing at Galveston Street, which is between Chandler Boulevard and Ray Road. Construction of the bridge will be handled by ADOT, which awarded the $3.6 million contract to Ames Construction Inc. ADOT will also handle any structural repairs, and Chandler will be responsible on-going maintenance. Community input on the bridge location and design concept was obtained through public meetings and meetings of the Chandler Transportation Commission, which is comprised of Chandler residents.
The Galveston Street Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge construction will be paid for with Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant funds.
Bridge construction began in spring 2013 and is expected to be completed by December 2013.
Total length is 1,145 linear feet, which includes the span over the freeway, the northbound and southbound frontage roads, and the ramps.
Our Valley Freeway System is part of the 2004 voter-approved Regional Transportation Plan. We are working hard with our transit partners to implement the voters' vision and are committed to quality, safety, open communication with our neighbors, and minimal inconvenience to the traveling public.

The first time I heard Johnny Holliday broadcast a University of Maryland basketball game was the winter of 1982. I was driving through some Eastern Shore backwater at night, and it was freezing cold, and the only light inside my little Toyota was the glow of the radio dial.
I was bored and turned on the radio and suddenly this voice came out of the ether, vibrant and smooth, like it'd been soaking in baby oil: Adrian Branch from the top of the key ... jumper is no good ... he's fouled!In radio, the gods either give you the voice, or they don't.
And I knew one thing: Johnny Holliday got the voice. It wasn't the deep, booming voice-of-God that some in his business get, maybe in exchange for a pound of flesh. But it was the perfect sportscaster's voice, clipped and resonant and full of passion, and I thought: Whoever this guy is, he sure as hell isn't bored.
Now, all these years later, Johnny Holliday is in his 24th season as the voice of the Terrapins' men's basketball and football teams, and boredom still isn't one of his problems.
Long synonymous with Maryland sports - he'll be on the air again tomorrow night when the Terps play Hampton - he's been through the good times and the bad times: the Peach Bowl win in Atlanta for Ralph Friedgen's team last week and all those football Saturdays when Byrd Stadium was as quiet as 3 in the morning; the national championship season for Gary Williams and the Terps last year and all those sad years at Cole Field House after the great Len Bias snorted cocaine and dropped dead, when it seemed Maryland basketball was buried in the cold ground along with him.
And the thing you notice right away about Johnny Holliday every time he puts on the headset and does play-by-play is this: He still has the passion.
"Every call that he makes ... you would think it was the most important game on the planet that day," says Chris Knoche, the color analyst on Terps basketball broadcasts who has worked with Holliday the past four years. "Whether they're playing Duquesne or whether they're playing Duke. And that's very difficult to do."
"Well," Holliday laughs, "if this was work, it'd be one thing."
But it is work, although few love their work - or make it look easier - than Johnny Holliday.
At 65, he's still the James Brown of sportscasting, the hardest-working guy in the business. Besides calling Terps football and basketball games and serving as co-host for TV and radio shows with Gary Williams and Ralph Friedgen, he's up at 4:30 every morning to tape daily sports reports for ABC Radio. He's also the co-host of a syndicated show called Catholic Radio Weekly.
As the Terps director of broadcasting, he also handles all sorts of speaking duties for the university, such as sports banquets and golf outings, and cuts commercials. Until recently, he also did announcing gigs for TV shows - including ABC's This Week With David Brinkley and This Week With Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts.
Did we mention he also covered the 1996 and 2000 Summer Olympics for ABC Radio, as well as the Winter and Summer Olympics in '84, '88 and '94? And he does musical theater work in the off-season? (He played Harold Hill in The Music Man last year.) And raises a ton of money for charity?
It's a hefty resume for a guy who spent the early part of his 45-year career in broadcasting as a Top 40 DJ with the coolest name on the airwaves (he was born John Holliday Bobbitt), a guy who openly admits to leaning into a microphone in those days in Cleveland, New York and San Francisco and spewing such now-cringe-inducing AM patter as:
Welcome into the Johnny Holliday glass cage with the old refugee from the Sunshine State to serve up our cream of the pop crop, here's Bob and Earl, shakin' a tail feather, doin' the monkey time with "Harlem Shuffle" on the Fabulous 50 Tunedex tune spot at No. 2 ...
Hoo, boy. Anyway, it's all in his new book, Johnny Holliday: From Rock to Jock, which came out late last year.
Except, OK, it's not all in his book, because the book is only 231 pages long. And to properly chronicle Holliday's career - pitching in Yankee Stadium in a celebrity media game, introducing the Beatles at Candlestick Park in '66, cutting a jeans commercial with Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airplane and playing basketball with Sly of Sly and the Family Stone, the move to sports and WMAL radio in Washington, this incredible run that spans three decades at College Park - you'd end up wiping out 30 acres of forest for the paper.
"I've been blessed," he says of his colorful career, which he somehow managed to pull off while raising three daughters with his wife, Mary Clare.
But the point is, Johnny Holliday has never seemed happier - or been more popular - than at this time in his life. He still loves doing Maryland play-by-play, and this winter he gets to do a lot of it from the gleaming new Comcast Center, college basketball's latest Taj Mahal.
As he'd be the first to tell you, that ain't exactly like breaking rocks in the hot sun. And it may help explain why Holliday - at an age when other men are thinking about quitting the rat race and working on their golf handicaps - remains unburdened by any thoughts of hanging up the mike.
Johnny on the spot
To the do-it-all radio voice of Terps' football and basketball, work is play-by-play

Urs Necks Karen O
Karen O, center of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Just in time for Halloween, the art world's optical illusionist moves his life sized boulders and giant Balenciaga shoe sculptures into the New Museum on the Bowery. Urs Fischer, who hails from Switzerland but lives in NYC with his American girlfriend likes to have fun constructing life sized skeletons. In this round, he's built textured prints of the Empire State Building and mounds of Swiss cheese on blocked mirrors. The head of LVMH, Bernard Arnault, was sniffing around the opening as were big chip artists like Chuck Close, who grinned while running his wheel chair in between works. But for the birds who can't envision bringing home a large piece of Urs, his silk scarves will do. Two limited editions are now up for sale at the New Museum gift shop. And the night of the opening, I spotted Yeah Yeah Yeahs front woman dancing around in one — a top a slim sweater and gray trousers — at the Interview Magazine's after party. Two varieties ($350), in silk, rumored to be from the same mills that supply Hermes. Ooh, la, la! Exhibit and scarves at the New Museum, 235 Bowery. Urs Fischer until February 2010. Silk scarves, while supplies last.
Cool Urs Fischer scarf, likely a collector's item

HTC: Past, Present & Battery Future?
After all the talk about Sense 4.0, the ONE line and the third iteration of the EVO, HTC has been on my mind and I need to make sense of it
HTC in 2010 was the manufacturer that made cool looking phones. Most wanted and hyped up phones, 4.3 inch screens, front facing camera, at the time decent looking pictures from a cell phone camera and a clean looking overlay. HTC in 2011, cool went out the door and instead we got a Thunderbolt that was plagued by LTE issues (yes not HTCs fault, but still brought it negativity), 3Dness . Sense 3.X and how certain phones can only use Sense 3.X, but the ones released a month prior arent capable too. Last but not least the promise of better camera phone pictures.
HTC in 2012 has started off with a lot of hope. Sense seems to have been turned down a notch so that in your face look doesnt protrude as it did in the 3.X era. Quality manufactured phones, camera software that at least shutter lag wise is the sexiest Ive seen to date. The ONE line has brought HTC back to the forefront and seems like a showing of its hand to Samsung to bring something better. EVO3, as I like to call it, looks like a quality phone. Yet for all its sexiness, it has gotten more attention for straying from the One X design and staying with the EVO design. While I understand how some can be annoyed by Sprints request of design change, is it that really the most important thing to worry about?
(First let it be known that aside from the rooting community, many people keep their phones stock so this portion of the rant doesnt necessarily speak to you as it has been proven that battery life can greatly improve depending on the ROM and kernel installed.)
For the amount of work that HTC puts into its cell phones, it seems that they lack the understanding of what capacity of battery should be installed on its phones. Every HTC phone Ive tried always seem to have a battery capacity lower than it should have come with. Its something that has stopped me from buying an HTC phone. The One series and the new EVO with all its sexiness, still leave a lot to be desired when it comes to its battery. Maybe its because Motorola threw in a 3300mh battery and still kept a slim form factor that has changed my perception. Maybe I just hate having to stay by a charger and an outlet in case the battery indicator goes orange. If I was looking at these phones, this is the first part of the spec sheet Id check. No matter how great the phone is spec sheet wise, if the tradition of quickly dying HTC phones continues than what was gained? Updated technology with an outdated mindset of what these phones should have battery size wise? I show no loyalty towards a particular manufacturer because if I had it my way, Id try as many of these phones that I could.
I want HTC to succeed with the EVO3 and the One line. I want them to force Samsung, Motorola, the other manufacturers and hell even Apple to step up and bring innovation to a constant. For all the press events on these devices and the long list of specs and capabilities of these phones, who cares if the battery in the device cant hold up to the grind? HTC has something to prove, I just hope its battery doesnt die before it reaches an outlet.
I'm not sure where to post this (and if it should go elsewhere please do tell), but I might start doing these just to keep myself occupied. If those of you read it and like it great. If you guys read it and hate it, then it will just fall down the hole of threads past lost in who knows what page. I'll talk about various topics on Android, the latest and greatest cell phone hype and anything that I feel I need to get off my chest about the various topics introduced in the android world. Enjoy!!

FOUR OAKS — In the championship game of its own Trojan Invitational Volleyball Tournament against Athens Drive, the South Johnston volleyball squad put together some impressive stretches of play to challenge their guests.
But, in the end, the 4A Jaguars were too consistent for the Trojans, taking the title 3-1 (25-20, 25-16, 20-25 and 25-17).
Each of the four sets followed a similar script: South Johnston needing to rally from an early deficit.
But it was only in the third set that the Trojans, who scored seven of the sets final nine points, came out on top.
Overall, they were just more consistent than we were, South Johnston coach Matthew Adams said of Athens Drive. We made runs and they made runs, but over the course of the game you could tell that they were just making more consistent plays.
Athens Drive, who earned the right to play for the title after surviving a five-set match against Garner earlier in the day, seemed to have an answer every time the Trojans made a charge.
I thought they responded well, Jaguars coach Jen Reeder said. I think they came together as a team and played very well.
After South Johnston rallied for eight consecutive points in the first set to draw even at 18, Athens Drive responded by winning seven of the next nine points to take the 1-0 lead.
Down five points early in the second set, the Trojans, behind the solid passing of Kathryn Lee and the aggressive play supplied by Alexis Massengill, went on an 11-2 rally to take a 14-10 lead.
The Jaguars responded again, however, thanks to the inspired play of tournament MVP Rachel Kinsey who provided Athens Drive with five kills and two key blocks at the net during a 15-2 run to close out the second set.
South Johnston, who defeated another 4A squad in Harnett Central 3-0 in the first round of the tournament, displayed their heart yet again and took the third set 25-20 after falling behind early.
We got down 2-0 and at the end of the second set, we were struggling, said Adams of his team. They had a big run when I didnt know if we would come back at all; Im proud of that.
I think we can build on the fact that we didnt give up and we kept fighting hard.
Massengill, who finished the championship match with 18 kills and 30 digs, and Lee, who dished out 30 assists for the Trojans, were named to the all-tournament team.
In addition to Kinsey being named MVP, the Jaguars Ashley Collins and Kayla Madia were also included on the all-tournament team as were Garners Brooke Kamphuis and Harnett Centrals Kayla East.

Sam Peredes, lobbyist for Gun Owners of California, said that using money from "law abiding gun purchasers" to seize the guns of bad guys "is not fair and reasonable, and we believe places an undue burden on those people who are exercising their 2nd Amendment rights."
He contended the weapons confiscation should be paid for out of the state's general fund.
Guess that also means hunting-license revenue shouldn't be used to hire game wardens to track down poachers, who despoil everyone's wildlife.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Peredes lamented that the committee had blown a "historic opportunity to have both the anti-gun and the pro-gun side come together."
And in that sentence he verbalized the gun lobby's isolation from mainstream America. It's blinded by an uncompromising view that either people are "anti-gun" or "pro-gun," denying the reality that someone can support gun ownership while still seeking common-sense solutions to gun violence.
A Field Poll recently found that 61% of California voters believe it's more important to impose stiffer gun controls than to protect gun rights.
The committee ignored the gun lobby and voted for the bill 14-0 — with both Republicans and Democrats on board. Leno says he'll take it up soon on the Senate floor.
A Republican co-author, Sen. Anthony Cannella of Ceres, told me, "It's a great bill. It seems a great use of the fees. It just makes common sense."
As for the gun lobby opposition, Cannella said: "I don't understand it. They always say, 'Take guns out of the hands of the people who shouldn't have them.' "
No longer. They've reloaded with a new refrain.

Stop Complaining About Competitors Dropping Rates
by Wayne Ens
In a recent survey of 110 radio account executives we asked What is the biggest hurdle to sales that you face each day? The most common answer? Our competitors are driving our rates down. Im sorry, but your competitors dont set your rates at the local level, you do. We have numerous station managers who we consult and mentor who we have coached to significantly higher rates, and we continue to do so with great success. Admittedly, it has not been easy, but weve proven rates can and should be increased.
Ive heard all of the defensive excuses for cutting rates, the most laughable is the perishable inventory argument .that its better to sell unsold inventory at any price rather than see it go unsold. I dont think an audience that wants more news or music, or advertisers who want a stronger share of voice on your station, would agree.
The defenders of unsold inventory discounts always point to the airline industry as the icon of perishable inventory pricing. Do you know any airlines that are not in trouble? And how do passengers feel about airlines gouging them when they need them the most in peak periods? Why would we hold the airline model in high esteem? Business leader Jack Welch said There is always a better way. Find it! Here are six better ways you can consider to motivate you to take control of your rates. We'll post six more Thursday of this week.
1.) Your Commission Structure
Many stations reward sales people, and sales managers, on gross sales, whether those sales are profitable or not. Talk about lunacy! I liken it to the real estate sales person who would rather sell your house for $450,000 than $500,000. With commissions in the balance in excess of $20,000, and only a couple of thousand dollars difference in commission between the low price and the high price, many agents would rather take the least line of resistance and sell at the lower price (I use the word sell very loosely). Car dealers dont pay commissions on the total price of the car, they only pay on the gross profit of each car.
While your bean counters might protest its more difficult to manage commissions based upon profit per spot than on gross sales, you know your rates would go up if you paid more for better rates. Right now your sales people only care about the total sale, and have no incentive to drive rate. This strategy leaves you with the headache of inventory management.
2.) Leaders Need to Lead
Just say no to rate choppers! I shutter when I hear a heritage station manager or market leader talk about the competitive pressures created by the underdogs in the market. And the programming and promotions people who have worked so hard to give those stations a leadership position must think were just order takers. The market rate is established by the market leader. Period. If the market leader cuts their rate by 10%, the underdog will follow suit with a 15% rate reduction and the downward spiral begins.
Market leaders have to act like leaders and be willing to walk from cut-rate business or be prepared to enter the never-ending downward spiral of rate cutting.
3.) Practice What You Preach
You have probably told some of your clients about the importance of branding, and that only butchers and barbers can cut their way to success. Its time to put an end to hypocrisy. You know that to a large degree you establish your image and credibility with your pricing policies. Can you say Rolex or Mercedes Benz ?
And when you hear a 50% off sale at a furniture store or mens wear store, you tell yourself Boy, they must have a heck of a lot of margin. That 50% off is probably all the product is really worth. Could it be that radios small share of the over-all advertising pie is directly attributable to the credibility and image weve established for radio with our one day sales, unsold inventory bonuses and rate slashing?
4.) Focus Upon Your Real Competitors
Radios share of total advertising budgets is so small that its almost laughable to call another station thats nipping at your heals a competitor. I recall when I left the newspaper business to begin my radio career. A stand alone ad, you had to have a full page to stand alone, in my paper cost $1,800 at the time. I was astonished that a stand alone ad on the radio was less than $30! Every ad is stand alone on radio.
With that attitude I quickly became the stations number one sales person outselling many seasoned veterans who were focused on other stations rates rather than on the rates at the paper. Im shocked when I ask a radio sales person today how much a billboard, a newspaper ad or a yellow directory ad in their market costs ..many dont know! Youre reps have to be trained how attractive your pricing is relative to their real competitors.
Our market audits consistently prove that reps grossly under-estimate the rates at competing radio stations in town. Sure, every station has the occasional stinky deal. You probably have one yourself. J But dont think for a moment that every advertiser gets the same rate as that stinky deal you uncovered.
5.)Train Your Sales People to Embrace New Media
Advertisers have always needed two media strategies, and intrusive media push strategy and a passive media pull strategy. In the old media world most passive media, catalogues, newspaper, flyers, coupons, phone directories, invitation events, brochures, etc., were all expensive print products. Expensive because of the heavy production and delivery costs of pulp and paper, printing presses, and delivery.
Today the production and delivery costs of passive media, anything digital or online, are basically free or very inexpensive. Compare the costs of a full color web page running 24/7 for a year, to that same page running in the local newspaper everyday for a year and youll see what I mean.
Or compare the cost of putting a coupon on your website versus a printed one delivered by the post office in a coupon envelop.Traditional medias share of ad budgets, largely print in the forms of brochures, coupons, newspapers, directories etc, is predicted to decline more than 10% from the 85.9% captured last year.
By the year 2015 traditional medias share of ad budgets will shrink to 76.4%, still by far the largest share, largely because the shift to online passive media is so inexpensive to produce and deliver. A properly trained radio sales force that understands the respective roles of intrusive and passive media in the new media mix can capture an astronomical growing share of that 76.4% and create an inventory shortage. The unsold inventory problem will melt with the training of account executives to sell the new media mix with radio as a dominant player.
6.) Quit Selling Spots or Cost Per Point
At the local level, you commoditize your product, making you vulnerable to price comparisons, when you sell spots or CPP or CPM. A competitor will always claim to sell spots cheaper. Ive often told advertisers We have a quarter hour average of six radio reps from competing stations, and everyone of them is going to hear your campaign and tell you that youve bought the wrong station or theyll sell spots cheaper than we do. But local advertisers dont really want spots anyway, and most dont believe your audience claims and CPP numbers. Our research of 540 local advertising decision makers in three different markets reveals that advertisers dont buy to get a lower spot rate or lower CPP.
They buy to increase sales. Period. When you consult with your clients to establish strategies that will increase sales, and present creative campaign ideas to achieve their goals, the schedules and spot rates are inconsequential. Often when I ask an account executive to tell me about a clients campaign, they'll say something like They bought 30 spots a week or they bought our 8 AM news. Thats not a campaign .thats a spot schedule. A campaign has a marketing strategy, an objective, and creative communications solutions to achieve those objectives.
The advertiser cares more about how much they need to invest to increase their sales than how much a spot costs. What good is a cheap spot if sales dont increase? And notice, weve taken the focus off of cost and we focus on investment and return on investment.

(10/31/2011 12:06:54 PM) Your comments are bang on. I should have made it clear I was talking about selling to direct accounts, not bidding or tendering to agencies that have CPP or CPM objectives. I fully recognise the difference between tendering at the agency level and selling directly. P.S. I've been a radio sales person for 42 years and have sold rates as low as $6 and as high as $880 over that time |

(9/30/2011 10:05:20 AM) Bob, I hear what you're saying but I get the impression that Wayne is referring to direct business accounts when he recommends not selling CPM's/CPP's. Direct's generally don't understand those terms anyway. Agree that those pricing metrics are firmly embedded into the agencies and that's not going to change. Steve |
- Steve Passwaiter |
(9/27/2011 9:52:43 PM) This is another obnoxious example of someone (Wayne) telling OTHERS (radio salespeople) how THEY should do their job. Wayne's comments totally IGNORE the REALITY OF THE MARKETPLACE...To suggest "ignoring cost-per-points" is ABSURD, in any significant-sized market! ... where the agency always has OPTIONS to buy around you, if you're going to "ignore" the CPP's!By Wayne's own admission, he sold $30 radio spot rates... and you can't compare tiny little markets, to major market realities. |

On Tuesday night, Tim Carney of the Washington Examiner debated MSNBC host Chris Hayes and former Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke over the question of the religious freedom and Obamacare's mandate that employers provide insurance that covers contraception. Watch the video below:
The Supreme Court announced this week that it will hear the case of two private companies, including retailer Hobby Lobby, objecting to the Obamacare regulations.
Last week, the Obama administration rolled out what it calls an "accommodation" for religious institutions subjected to the Obamacare mandate that forces American employers to provide, and individuals to purchase, health insurance that covers contraception, sterilizations, and the abortion drug

Sixty years ago, on April 8, 1952, President Harry Truman directed his secretary of commerce, Charles Sawyer, to seize and take over operation of the nation's steel companies, in order to give steelworkers a wage increase and avert a strike threatening steel production during the Korean War. Truman's action led, in short order, to one of the most famous and important of all modern Supreme Court decisions—Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.
In his autobiography, Ronald Reagan recalled when Pat Brown, his opponent for California governor in 1966, put together a TV commercial in which he tells a group of small children, "I'm running against an actor, and you know who killed Abraham Lincoln, don't you?"

The Senate has just voted down, 51 to 48, the Blunt-Nelson amendment, which would have restored the conscience protections that Americans had before Obamacare was passed. The vote came in response to the Obamacare mandate that employers, including religious institutions, provide insurance plans covering contraception and abortifacient drugs.
Via Ed Morrissey, here's a must-watch video of Democratic congresswoman Kathy Hochul getting tripped up at a townhall meeting by a constituent's questions about Obamacare's contraception/abortifacient mandate:
Republican senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts has a new 60-second radio ad in which he discusses his support for a religious exemption to Obamacare mandates. You can listen to the ad here.
What do Americans think about the Obamacare contraception mandate? It depends how you ask the question. A new Quinnipiac poll shows, Politico reports, that a majority (54 percent to 38 percent) support the White House's so-called "accommodation" on the Department of Health and Human Services rule.

Mt. Zion Baptist Church tours
Used as a place of worship by members of the Old School Baptists from 1851 until 1980, Mt. Zion Church and its adjoining cemetery witnessed fighting during the Civil War, but also served in the aftermath of battle as a hospital for the wounded and as a final resting place from some who fought in the war. A renewed focus for this year's tours will be the historic graffiti found on sections of the interior wall.

Steve Carell, left, and Olivia Wilde star in "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone." (Ben Glass/Warner Bros./MCT) (Ben Glass / MCT / February 7, 2012) |
Opening Friday
The Call
Halle Berry is a 911 operator drawn into a dangerous situation when she receives a distress call about a missing girl. (R, 94 minutes)
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
The only incredible thing here is the way this comedy makes Steve Carell so thoroughly and irreparably unlikable. In a film about magic tricks, this is the most difficult feat of all. Even when Carell is playing characters who are nerdy ("The 40-Year-Old Virgin'') or needy ("Crazy, Stupid, Love'') or clueless (TV's ''The Office'') or just plain odd ("Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy''), there's usually an inherent decency that shines through and makes him seem relatable, vulnerable, human. None of those qualities exists within Burt Wonderstone, a selfish and flashy Las Vegas magician who once ruled the Strip alongside his longtime friend and partner, Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi), but now finds his act has grown outdated and unpopular. Even within the confines of a comedy sketch, where he probably belongs, Burt would seem one-dimensional and underdeveloped with his hacky jokes and tacky clothes. Stretched out to feature length, the shtick becomes nearly unbearable — until, of course, the movie doles out its obligatory comeuppance, followed by redemption, and goes all soft and nice. By then it's too little, too late. Jim Carrey gives it his all, as always, as the up-and-coming gonzo street magician who threatens Burt's career. When Carrey shows up on the Strip as hipster stunt artist Steve Gray, any hopes of comic riffing between him and Carell are soon dashed by the realization that, true to his character, he barely registers his co-stars' presence. "Burt Wonderstone" is best appreciated not as an ensemble of inspired talents but as the convergence of very funny actors who are all starring in their own little movies.
Still, "Burt Wonderstone" magically produces its share of modest laughs: With his ombre-blond hair and tribal tattoos, Carrey does a magnificently deranged job of skewering the inane hijinks of such performers as David Blaine and Criss Angel.
Carell, more reserved than usual, channels Siegfried, Roy and David Copperfield (who good-naturedly shows up for a cameo) to create a character who will never end up in his classic repertory, but allows him some clever visual humor nonetheless. One of the few memorable bits in "Burt Wonderstone" is Carell's one-man rendition of an undoubtedly two-man routine. (PG-13, 101 minutes)
— Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic
Oz the Great and Powerful
''Oz'' features a couple of fun performances, a handful of witty lines, some clever details and spectacular costumes. At its center is a miscast James Franco, co-star of Sam Raimi's ''Spider-Man'' movies, as the circus huckster who becomes the reluctant Wizard of Oz. (PG, 130 minutes)
Dead Man Down
Colin Farrell plays a brooding gangster, Victor, who's infiltrated the brutal gang of Alphonse to avenge the deaths of his wife and daughter. He's joined in revenge by Beatrice, who blackmails him into killing the drunk driver that crashed into her. Though her beauty is hardly marred, children throw rocks and shout ''Monster!'' at her. The film either can't stomach having its star actress appear actually maimed, or it's simply too lazy to make Beatrice's motivations plausible. (R, 118 minutes)
Jack the Giant Slayer, (PG-13, 117 minutes)
21 & Over, (R, 93 minutes)
Safe Haven, (PG-13, 115 minutes)

Ford 811 ....can it be converted to PTO?
I love the overall looks and stance of the Ford 801 Powermaster series tractors.
There's a '58 Ford Powermaster for sale nearby that I just found today.....this will be my first tractor.
It's listed as a Ford model 811. According to TractorData.com, this model came new
without a PTO. The video of the machine I'm looking at shows a blankoff plate where the PTO would be,
yet Yesterday's Tracors offers replacement PTO shafts for the Ford 811..........what's up with that?
Ford 811 PTO Shaft (NCA710-38)
Here's my question: Can a PTO be added to the Ford 811? If yes, is it a major deal? I'm pretty good with a wrench.

Re: Ford 811 ....can it be converted to PTO?
an 811 is a SOS tranny with no pto. I think you'll need to ask RickB on this one.
I got no idea if the sos sans pto was simply a stub shaft left out, and a control cable.. etc. or if it's more involved.
that sos is not a 'standard' gear trans. it's a full powershift job... ind pto ( when equipped )souNdguy

Re: Ford 811 ....can it be converted to PTO?
Soundguy brings up another point...the Select-O-Shift transmission brings its own host of potential issues. You may want to read up on them before buying anything with an SOS in it. In fact, for the earlier years, tractors without the SOS are usually priced higher, because if the SOS dies, you're likely going to have to find a donor standard transmission to install in its place.

Gold's on a bumpy ride
May 31, 2012: 11:41 AM ETThis year, gold is seeing its worst performance since the 2008 financial crisis, but certain catalysts may reverse its course in the coming months.
FORTUNE -- Investors have long found safety in gold, but the precious metal has been losing luster as Europe's ongoing debt crisis intensifies. As of Thursday morning, gold was down 6% this month, at $1,560.90 an ounce.
This isn't the first time gold has fallen when markets turn shaky. During the depths of the global financial crisis, the metal dropped by 20%. A few factors drove the decline: As the U.S. financial system nearly collapsed, investors took their money out of stocks and poured them into U.S. Treasuries. And institutional investors, faced with losses on U.S. investments, liquidated overseas assets to meet margin calls or broker agreements. Finally, as banks clamped down on lending, money became scarce.
All that helped drive up the value of the greenback. Because gold is priced in dollars, the currency's rise typically leads to a fall in the metal's value because gold becomes more expensive for buyers who hold other currencies. And vice versa.
MORE: Warren Buffett: Why stocks beat gold and bonds
In recent months, the rapidly rising dollar against the euro has brought down gold. As the euro zone crisis turns from bad to worse with Greece's possible exit from the monetary union, investors have been leaving the euro and flocking to safety in Treasuries and German bunds. On Wednesday, the euro fell to its weakest level against the dollar in almost two years after Egan-Jones Ratings cut Spain's credit rating for the third time in less than a month.
But pressure on gold could ease up some. For the past year, it has been entangled in the world's biggest fiscal woes, says James Steel, chief commodities analyst at HSBC Securities. While Europe's financial mess has driven gold downward, America's debt problems have helped boost gold to record highs. It soared past $1,900 an ounce by last September, shortly after the U.S. suffered its first-ever debt downgrade as Congress stalled on talks to reduce the national deficit.
MORE: What a Greek exit means for the U.S.
If the past repeats itself, gold could see a rebound later this year. Lawmakers are expected to scramble once again on a deficit reduction plan or else trillions of dollars in looming tax hikes and spending cuts will automatically kick in. The Congressional Budget Office has warned the economy could contract by 1.3% during the first half of 2013. These issues threaten to cast a shadow over equities and other financial assets, and push investors into bullion.
For at least the next several months, gold will surely be caught in the middle of the world's big debt fiascos.

When fish are low in the water column, smart ice anglers know that bottom pounding and bottom scrounging are "go-to" presentations. Truly successful ice fishermen, however, know when to pound, when to scrounge, and when to combine the two to catch more walleyes, perch, bluegills and other gamefish. Here's how to determine the best presentation every time.

A furious Duke and Duchess of Cambridge launched legal action against a French magazine tonight after it published topless pictures of Kate taken while the couple were on holiday.
The publication was compared by St James's Palace to the worst experiences of Diana, Princess of Wales at the hands of the paparazzi.
The palace led a chorus of protests, describing the invasion of privacy as "grotesque and totally unjustifiable".
Royal aides drew parallels between Diana's most upsetting encounters with certain elements of the press and the "unthinkable" actions of the French magazine Closer, which left Kate and William feeling "anger and disbelief". And the palace has now announced that lawyers would be pursuing the matter through the French courts.
In a short statement, the palace said: "St James's Palace confirms that legal proceedings for breach of privacy have been commenced today in France by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge against the publishers of Closer Magazine France."
The royal couple have the sympathy of Downing Street with a source close to David Cameron saying that Number 10 "echoes the sadness of the palace" over the publication of the pictures.
In a strongly-worded statement St James's Palace said: "Their Royal Highnesses have been hugely saddened to learn that a French publication and a photographer have invaded their privacy in such a grotesque and totally unjustifiable manner. The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and all the more upsetting to the Duke and Duchess for being so.
"Their Royal Highnesses had every expectation of privacy in the remote house. It is unthinkable that anyone should take such photographs, let alone publish them. Officials acting on behalf of their Royal Highnesses are consulting with lawyers to consider what options may be available to the Duke and Duchess."
But Laurence Pieau, the editor of Closer, was unrepentant, defending her decision to publish the pictures during an interview with the French radio station Europe 1, insisting there was "nothing degrading" about the photographs and claiming she could not understand the couple's reaction.
Ms Pieau also told the AFP news agency: "These photos are not in the least shocking. They show a young woman sunbathing topless, like the millions of women you see on beaches."

You can lay new ceramic tile right over the old, using the prep techniques we show here. It avoids the time-consuming, messy tear-out process.
Lay a level on the old tile and mark any high spots. Grind them down with a grinder. Roughen the tile with 80-grit sandpaper.
Spread a flat layer of thin-set on the back of large tiles for better adhesion. Or, use a larger-notch trowel.
Press the tile onto the floor thin-set and slide it perpendicular to the combed lines.
If your old ceramic tile is worn or dated, you can lay new tile right over the old, and avoid the huge job of tearing out the old tile. This assumes that the floor underneath is solid (concrete) and that there are no cracks in the existing tile (indicating underlying problems in the concrete). In fact, pros do it all the time.
Surface preparation is paramount. Start by making sure all the tiles are solidly bonded to the floor. Tap them lightly with a wood mallet or a chunk of 2x4. A hollow sound is an indication that a tile is loose. Remove and reset any loose ones with thin-set. Next, use a 4-ft. level to find any high spots and grind those down using a right-angle grinder with a masonry wheel. Then sand all the tiles with a belt or orbital sander (80-grit) to scratch any surface glazes. Remove any moldy or loose grout with a rotary tool or carbide scraper. Vacuum the tiles and clean with detergent and water to remove dirt, sealers and wax. Rinse the surface with clear water and let it dry.
Buy a latex-modified thin-set (one brand is FlexBond) and mix it in small batches to keep it from skinning over. Complete adhesive coverage is critical on large tiles (12 in. or larger) and even more important when you're tiling over tile. Some installers prefer to "flatback" each tile with the flat edge of the trowel before applying the tile to the combed thin-set. Others prefer to use a larger notched trowel (1/2 x 1/2 in.) to apply the thin-set. Whichever method you use, always comb the adhesive in one direction (no swirls). Then set the tile on the floor and slide it perpendicular to the combed thin-set to knock down the rows and spread the adhesive.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You'll also need a rotary tool, leather gloves, rubber gloves and a masonry wheel for the angle grinder.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.
Share what's on your mind and see what other DIYers are thinking about.
April 17, 11:00 AM [GMT -5]
Can you install tile over existing glazed tile? Is adhesion a concern with cement based material (assuming it is latex modified) or is epoxy based material preferred? Tx
February 27, 3:32 PM [GMT -5]
Thanks for all the advice. My friend just layed ceramic tiles in Ottawa and it makes me want to do it to my own home really bad. I'm going to have to try it.
February 16, 1:04 PM [GMT -5]
can I lay ceramic tile on top of vinyl sheeting if it is securely attached to the floor?

Gas stations getting pumped for Google Maps
Cars and maps are kind of a match made in heaven. People get lost, and roads are confusing. Luckily, pumping gas is not, and despite some states like Oregon requiring people to pump your gas for you, most other places are a self-serve affair. The Associated Press is reporting that a new line of gas pumps from Gilbarco Veeder-Root, due to ship next month, will be equipped with a touch-screen panel that includes a slightly stripped-down version of Google Maps to let you browse local attractions like hotels, amusement parks, and restaurants that have been handpicked by the gas station'… Read more

Pretty….for those of you intimidated by sewing chiffon, don't be! Use a spray stabilizer like Sullivan's to temporarily stiffen your fabric so that it's almost feels and acts like a heavyweight cotton…temporarily. Wash it out…badadump, normal chiffon again!
