LOVES PARK, Ill. (Wednesday, June 30th, 2010) – Lloyd Hawkins wanted a win and he finally got it, taking the checkers Wednesday night at the Rockford Speedway claiming the victory in the 25-lap Mtn Dew RoadRunners Super Summer Series main event. Hawkins went wire-to-wire for the trophy, fending off a late race challenge from veteran Howie Ware to emerge victorious. Mark Hayes broke the streak, finally stopping Dwight Dunlap's reign atop the Allison Legacy cars with a hard-earned win while Scott Dixon took home the victory in the Crap Scrappers Hornets. Dennis Smith Jr, Brandon Heisler, Tracy Wallin, and Paul Fusco all collected feature victories as well.
The showcase of Wild Wednesday got off to a quick start as Lloyd Hawkins jumped out to the front of the pack and led the field in the beginning stages of the 25-lap feature. Hawkins faced an early test from veteran frontrunner Howie Ware, who looked to the inside on numerous occasions over the first ten laps eyeing the lead.
The front of the field eventually sorted itself out into a six car train, racing bumper-to-bumper for 15 laps before Ware ratcheted up the pressure again with five laps remaining. Mike 'Big Kid' Swanson got loose in third, allowing Johnny Robinson to slip by Gene Marocco on the inside and steal fourth. Up front, the action heated up as Hawkins got loose and Ware tried to take advantage with two circuits to go, diving to the inside and looking for some space to work with.
Ware couldn't make the move stick as Hawkins held on and took the checkers at the stripe, collecting his first feature win of 2010. Ware settled for second as Swanson held off a hard-charging Robinson for third. Marocco rounded out the top five in fifth.
Mark Hayes led the field to green in 12-lap Allison Legacy feature event. Defending champion and points leader Dwight 'Double D' Dunlap started third and raced there for ten laps before trying to make his streak survive.
Hayes had his own plans, as the fast qualifier paced Kyle Voss over the last two laps, slamming the door exiting turn four on the final lap and collecting his first win of the season, shattering Dunlap's domination.
Dunlap settled for a disappointing third while Brian
Heaberlin rounded out the field in fourth.
Tim Dix paced the field in the early stages of the 15-lap headliner for the Crap Scrappers Hornets. Scott Dixon wasn't far behind, climbing into second on the first lap and setting up #71 as he eyed the lower line and the lead. Dixon made the move with five laps in the books, passing the leader on the bottom to take away the top spot.
Dixon soon felt the heat from Bryan Ellis up front. Ellis made a last ditch effort with two laps to go, throwing his machine into the bottom of turn four, but he couldn't make it stick as Scott Dixon held on for his first feature win of the season.
Lloyd Hawkins led the eight car field to green in the National Figure 8 League headliner. Dennis Smith Jr. plied his way into first, passing Hawkins in turn three and snatching away the top spot with eight laps left.
Hawkins fended off figure eight veteran Tom Schneider's early effort for second as the race reached the halfway mark. As Smith Jr. built a margin out front, Schneider continued to look for a way past Hawkins. With the white flag waving, Schneider finally made his move past Hawkins for second, nudging the veteran aside and taking home the bridesmaid's position.
Dennis Smith Jr. enjoyed the action in his rearview mirror as he cruised to the win out front, his first of the season.
The INEX Legends headliner got off to a quick start up front as Brandon Heisler made the pass for the lead with three laps in the books, working by Josh James on the inside and snatching the top spot.
Heisler had no trouble from that point on, dominating the event and leading the final 12 laps and hitting his marks to collect the feature win two weeks after being denied victory by a mere nose to Josh Kreyer.
Tim Narr completed the field in third.
Paul Fusco jumped out front in the early stages of the 12-lap INEX Bandoleros main event. The action up front heated up two laps in when Fusco and Morgan Melichar got together on the backstretch, sending them both into the wall and bringing out the caution.
After visiting the pits for a brief round of repairs, Fusco returned to the race in the back of the pack. The young driver wasted no time, charging to the front and the win after breaking his way past the leader, Tristan Batson, who came home second. Fusco collected his first feature win of 2010 on the second Wild Wednesday of the season, taking home the hardware.
Melichar managed third while Deanna Chandler rounded out the field in fourth.
The Winged Women on Wheels headliner got off to a fast start as Olivia Chance grabbed the early lead in the 12-lap race. Points leader Tracy Wallin followed her path, chasing after the leader and looking for her second win in as many races this season.
Wallin blew past Chance when the leader suffered mechanical gremlins, never looking back as she rolled to the win. Laura Siarkiawicz exited the race early after her race was shut down by mechanical failures,
Racing returns to the high banks of the Rockford Speedway with a double dose of holiday action as Cost Cutters presents back-to-back evenings of fun as fireworks on the track are followed up by 10,000 watt fireworks extravaganzas after the final checkered flag waves. Saturday night's Instant Jungle Independence Eve Party gets underway at 5pm with the green flag waving at 7:07pm on a full slate of racing action highlighted by the Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Models 'Star Spangled 76'. The Bargain Hunter Sportsman, Crap Scrappers Hornets, and Illini Midgets are also in action plus the Flagpole Race.

I bought this with reservations but was pleasantly surprised by how tasty and satisfying it was. Obviously, it isn't as creamy and rich as the real thing but a great low calorie alternative. I'll definitely buy it again and again....

Great taste and texture
This is a great meal. It isn't hot at all which I love, but has that very thick texture of a korma, the rice is good too. For a WW meal this is actually the best I have tried, was not like a diet meal at all.

This week we feel especially privileged to do the work that we do. A brief post by our senior editor about the decision-making behind this week's show and why it matters to us. From trentgilliss:
For those of you who don't know, I edit and produce a national public radio show called On Being with Krista Tippett. It's played on about 250 public radio stations at different times throughout the week. Part of my gig is deciding our programming line-up. Why do I tell you this?
About a week ago, we had a gap in our schedule and I suggested rebroadcasting our interview with Kate Braestrup, a UU chaplain who works with Maine's game wardens on search-and-rescue missions and such events. She also lost a husband early in her life. For some, it seemed counter-intuitive to put a show on about death, loss, and grief during this festive time of year. But we know that the holidays can be a lonely time of despair, depression, and loss for many; I hoped our program could meet those people suffering in some minor way — and remind all of us the gift of grace and happiness during this season.
I never could've envisioned (nor wanted to) this horrifying scenario before us. And so I worried about the programming decision.
Well, my beloved wife Shelley and I just finished listening to the production on MPR News (yes, believe it or not, on the radio). Kate Braestrup's stories and insights on love, death, and loss are profound — and more relevant than I could have ever imagined. It's wise people like her who are most needed during our country's darkest hours and brightest holidays. Bella and I cried a little; we danced.
This show doesn't make sense of the tragedy in Connecticut; nothing can. But, Kate Braestrup offers a framing for how to think about love and tragedy, how we live forward. If you're looking for something to listen to with your loved ones, listen to this show. And, if you do, please write me and share your thoughts. It would mean a lot to me: email@example.com or @trentgilliss.

What is the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative?
The Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI), a project of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, is a detention reform and juvenile justice system improvement initiative that has demonstrated over 20 years, in urban and rural jurisdictions, that moving low-risk youth from secure detention into community-based alternative programs is excellent public policy. JDAI has established outstanding public safety outcomes, minimized detention over-crowding and the need to build more expensive facilities creating savings for taxpayers, improved efficiencies in the juvenile justice system operations, and produced better outcomes for youth and their families.
JDAI is a comprehensive initiative of eight strategies involving system-wide change in philosophy, practice and policy. Marion County (Indianapolis) Indiana originally became a JDAI local expansion site in 2006 with funding support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute and local community funds. Since that time, the county has enacted a number of system-reform efforts which have reduced the detention population by nearly 50% while also maintaining public safety. Since October 2009, Indiana has embarked upon a statewide expansion of the Annie E. Casey Foundation Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) model program.
For more information on the Annie E. Casey Foundation JDAI program, visit: http://www.aecf.org/MajorInitiatives/JuvenileDetentionAlternativesInitiative.aspx
Indiana Counties Currently Participating in JDAI
* Eight Indiana JDAI Counties represtent 34% of Indiana's at-risk youth population (ages 10-17).

Set in North Dakota at a time in the past century when Indian tribes were struggling to keep what little remained of their lands, Tracks is a tale of passion and deep unrest. Over the course of ten crucial years, as tribal land and trust between people erode ceaselessly, men and women are pushed to the brink of their endurance -- yet their pride and humor prohibit their surrender.
Narrated by compelling characters like Nanapush, the patriarch and tribal elder who "guided the last buffalo hunt ... saw the last bear shot ... trapped the last beaver with a pelt of more than two years growth" and Pauline Puyat, whose fascination with witchcraft and religion leads her down treacherous and unstable paths, Tracks follows the epic story of Fleur Pillager, who has been described by The Los Angeles Times as "one of the most haunting presences in contemporary American literature."

When Wise Dan swept three categories - Horse of the Year, older male, and turf male - at the Eclipse Awards early this year, it brought back sunny memories of Round Table, who collected Horse of the Year honors, a champion male turf horse award, and male handicap honors in 1958.
Round Table was an everyman's horse. In an era when larger-than-life racehorses such as Native Dancer, Swaps, and Nashua became national heroes, the smallish, unassuming Round Table steadily racked up victories. In a career spanning four years (1956-1959) he was recognized as one of the greatest turf runners in the history of the sport.
The bay colt liked to run close to the pace and set the pace when he had to, putting away his contenders as they came to him and winning by as much as he could. Round Table traveled coast to coast, carried more and more weight, stayed the distance or sprinted past swift rivals. He battled one of the best crops of three year olds in history - Calumet's Gen. Duke and Iron Liege, Wheatley Stable's Bold Ruler, and Ralph Lowe's Gallant Man.
At 15.2 hands, Round Table was the little engine that could.
Round Table Born: April 6, 1954 Birthplace: Claiborne Farm, Lexington, Ky. Died: June 13, 1987 Sire: Princequillo Dam: Knight's Daughter Career record: 66 starts, 43 wins, Career earnings: $1,344,352 |
An extremely sound, tough horse with a kind temperament, Round Table was a terror on the turf scoring in 14 of 16 starts. The great turf writer Joe Hirsch wrote: "Now, at 5, as he keeps winning the big ones with his weight up in the relentlessly professional thoroughness of the New York Yankees in Ruth's day and DiMaggio's, the applause grows louder with each passing hour until it is a crescendo of appreciation and admiration for one of the greatest performers in the history of U.S. racing."
Foaled at Claiborne on April 6, 1954, Round Table was born a half-hour prior to the birth of another legendary champion, Bold Ruler, that same night at the legendary Paris, Ky. farm. This odd quirk of fate played out in spirited battles at the racetrack, the duo earned more than $2.5 million between them. Even more significant, the commingling of their blood produced Triple Crown winner, Seattle Slew, whose sons and grandsons are still leaving his mark on the breed.
A durable son of Princequillo, out of Knight's Daughter (by Sir Cosmo), Round Table raced for Claiborne as a juvenile under the tutelage of trainer Moody Jolley winning five of 10 starts. Both of his stakes successes came at Keeneland, the four-furlong Lafayette Stakes in April and the seven-furlong Breeders' Futurity in October.
With the death of Claiborne founder A.B. Hancock Sr., Round Table was put on the block to help pay estate taxes, in essence saving the farm. Oklahoma Oilman Travis Kerr wound up purchasing a majority interest in the colt. As the story goes, Kerr's agent was in the paddock at Hialeah on February 9, 1957, just before Round Table was to make his second start at three in an allowance race. Claiborne's famed Bull Hancock gave Kerr until post time to agree to his terms. Kerr did. The final price was reported at $175,000 and the sale agreement included Round Table standing at stud at Claiborne when his racing career was over with Claiborne receiving 20-percent of his breeding income.
At age three, Kerr transferred Round Table to California trainer Bill "Willie" Molter who had trained 1954 Kentucky Derby hero Determine. A native of Fredericksburg, Texas, Molter began his career in horse racing as a jockey at racetracks across the Texas border in Mexico. He described his new colt like this: "a short-coupled but well-quartered behind, has a small, but good-looking head and a longer-than-average stride."
The trainer moved Round Table to California, where he ran third in the Santa Anita Derby, beaten only a head by winner Sir William and a nose by runner up Swirling Abbey. Round Table won the Bay Meadows Derby from Swirling Abbey by 4 1/2 lengths. The authoritative win punched the colt's ticket Kentucky that spring as Round Table romped by six lengths beating One-Eyed King in the Blue Grass Stakes.
Gen. Duke would have been the 1957 Kentucky Derby favorite if he hadn't scratched the morning of the race. Bold Ruler took that role with Round Table the second choice and Gallant Man a close third in the betting. Yet the 1957 Derby is best remembered not for who won – because it was none of these – but for an incident involving Gallant Man and his jockey, Bill Shoemaker.
Federal Hill proved the early speed in the race, holding the lead into the top of the stretch, before giving way to Iron Liege. Gallant Man rolled past the Calumet entry, but in one of the most famous blunders in sports history, rider Bill Shoemaker misjudged the finish, throwing his mount off stride just enough to be nosed out by Iron Liege. Round Table closed bravely, beating Bold Ruler to finish third.
"He bobbled every three or four steps as the track kept cupping out on him," said jockey Ralph Neves, "but he made a strong move once finding room in the stretch."
Bypassing the Preakness and Belmont, Molter took Round Table back home to California, where Shoemaker eventually became his regular rider. After a sharp second against older horses in the Californian, Round Table strung together an 11-race win streak that was described as the longest since Citation.
His first three stakes in the series were versus 3-year olds. Next time out he uncorked a dominating 3 1/4-length score in the Hollywood Gold Cup Handicap. Not only did Round Table become the first 3-year-old to take that prize but he equaled the 1 1/4-mile track record of 1:58 3/5, set by the fabled Swaps. The time also stood as the fastest 10 furlongs ever recorded by a 3-year-old.
Later that summer, Round Table shifted tack to Chicago, where he quickly took to turf racing, whipping Kentucky Derby winner Iron Liege in the American Derby and then, recovering from a stumble at the break, prevailing by a head nod in the United Nations Handicap against older horses.
Those performances earned Round Table the honors as that year's champion grass horse. Returning to the main track in the Hawthorne Gold Cup, he easily put older horses to the sword while setting a new 1 1/4-mile record of 2:00 1/5 under a hand ride.
Round Table dominated American Thoroughbred racing in 1958. He was named Horse of the Year after winning the San Fernando, San Antonio, Santa Anita, Caliente, Argonaut, Laurence Armour, and Arlington Handicaps, among others. When the season ended, Round Table had been the sport's leading money winner for two consecutive years.

The only turf loss of Round Table's career was in the $100,000 United Nations Handicap on Sept 14, 1958. Clem, named for longtime racing announcer Clem McCarthy, held off Round Table by a half-length while smashing the Atlantic City course record before a crowd of 26,444. The time for the mile and three sixteenths on the grass course was a blistering 1:54 3/5. Round Table closed out his 4-year-old campaign with a win the Hawthorne Gold Cup, surpassing Nashua on the all-time earnings list.
"He's the greatest horse I've ever seen," trainer Molter declared. "Round Table is game, he's tough, he can take it, he's easy to manage, he's sound and a good doer."
In 1959, he won 9 of his 14 races, including the United Nations while carrying 136 pounds and his third champion grass horse title. Round Table's lifetime earnings were $1,749,869.
Round Table won 43 of his 66 starts when he retired in 1959 and was the world's top money-winning horse at $1,749,869. He was named Horse of the Year in 1958, champion grass horse in 1957, 1958 and 1959, champion handicap horse in 1958 and 1959, leading stakes winner in 1957 and 1958, and leading money winner in those two years.
Round Table was inducted in to the Hall of Fame in 1972. He was ranked 17th on Blood-Horse's "Top 100 racehorses of the 20th Century" in 1999. Standing stud at Claiborne Farm from 1959 to 1978, he is considered one of the most important sires of the 20th century. Of the 401 foals he sired, 83 were stakes winners, an impressive 20.5-percent. Round Table was the first million-dollar winner to sire a million-dollar winner in Royal Glint and sired 83 stakes winners including Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee He's A Smoothie, Apalachee, Advocator, King's Bishop, King Pellinore and Poker, who was the damsire of two Hall of Fame inductees, Seattle Slew and Silver Charm.
Round Table died at Claiborne Farm, where he was born 33 years before. Buried in an oak casket, Round Table and Bold Ruler reside near one another, beneath limestone markers at the Paris, Ky., farm.

Ballot box hangover
Even as Oregon tries to deal with the chaos of Measure 37, which overturned the state's old land-use regulations, "The Big Look," an attempt to revive and re-create planning laws, is quietly under way.

Anti-government attack has many fronts
Across the West, anti-government activists from out of state are funding ballot measures that attack government spending and the judiciary as well as land-use planning

I suppose I should start this review with a confession. I darted into the Dog and Duck to use their toilets this weekend. And they caught me! Instead of telling me to buy something or being rude they happily directed me to the toilets!
When I came back I felt obligated to buy a cider and chat to the too-lovely barmaid. One of the other patrons had a great dane with him, leaned against the...more
Sadly, it took us forever to find The Dog & Duck, wandering through rain & wet streets. But when we finally found it, we immediately got a table in the corner of the cozy upstairs and knew it was worth the search.
Hubby & I shared the Fillet Steak Sandwich (pan-fried fillet steak and caramelised onion chutney served with with skin-on chips (fries)) & the chicken/bacon sandwich (grilled...more
This place is a very happening spot in central London any day of the night, specially during the week. Ideal for that pub crawl scene that is part and parcel of the London's professional culture, I recommend this place for its friendly service and its lively atmosphere.more
The Dog & Duck is a typical British pub, the type that American tourists flock to and Londoners who find themselves in Soho looking for a reasonably priced pint will head to as well.
There's not much seating downstairs but there's more on the first floor, the men's toilets are quite a challenge to get to (small steep staircase) even when sober and the food is clearly fresh from the...more
With Soho's eccentric nightlife and bar scene, it is relief to find an established traditional pub in the area. Very pretty traditional interior with a worked wood and etched glass bar and molded tile. The bar serves a decent selection of beers, but not too much of a selection for the rest of the bar. But then, this being Soho if you want a fancy apple colada cocktail, or a sophisticated...more

The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra announces the NJSO Edward T. Cone Composition Institute, a multi-faceted program that promotes new music and emerging composers, presented in collaboration with the Princeton University Department of Music and generously funded in part by the Edward T. Cone Foundation. The Institute will select up to four composers to participate in five days of intense compositional evaluations and consultations July 15-19 on the Princeton University campus; the program will cu
Even in a Roomful of Teeth, Caroline Shaw stands out. Last April, at the age of 30, Shaw, a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton University, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for music for her "Partita for 8 Voices." Shaw is the youngest recipient of the award since its inception in 1943. Previous winners have included Aaron Copland, Charles Ives, Samuel Barber, Elliot Carter, John Adams, Steve Reich and Jennifer Higdon.
After the graduating Tigers sing "Old Nassau" this spring and all the caps and gowns are put away, Princeton University wiil say goodbye to a retiring faculty member who didnt just teach the sweep of twentieth and twenty-first-century music - he lived it.
In his own work, Paul Lansky, who turns seventy in June, journeyed from the algebraic atonality of Milton Babbitt through the painstaking programming of early computers to emerge, decades later, as a composer of bright, friendl
Roomful of Teeth in Ewing – Grammy Award-winning vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth has three upcoming local performances which will include Princeton doctorate candidate Caroline Shaw's Pulitzer Prize-winning work "Partita" as well as music by Merrill Garbus a.k.a tUnE-yArDs, William Brittelle, Judd Greenstein, Rinde Eckert and Brad Wells. Concerts take place Thursday at the College of New Jersey, Sunday at Princeton University and March 10 at the Monroe Township Public Lib
Princeton junior Darya Koltunyuk's morning routine took a new turn this past fall. Instead of grabbing something to go from Whitman College's dining hall, she enjoyed a leisurely walk from her London flat — through Hyde Park and past the gilded gates of Kensington Palace — to the Royal College of Music (RCM). A collaboration established between Princeton University and RCM in 2007 offers Princeton students the opportunity to spend the fall semester of their junior ye
When honor is at stake, there's no telling how far things will go. And when a 300-year-old academic rivalry is on the line, the combatants are bound to mean business. This weekend, the hot-blooded youths of Harvard and Princeton will settle their differences, not with pistols or rapiers, but by tickling ivories — a whole lot of ivories — as the Princeton Pianists Ensemble faces off against the Harvard College Piano Society.
The path to the music room in Steven Mackey's spacious Princeton home is lined with toys: a phalanx of toddler-size vehicles, a toy kitchen, a Thomas the Tank Engine table crisscrossed with rail tracks. Next to the brightly colored plastic objects, the black grand piano takes on the wryly amused look of a buttoned-up uncle at a birthday party, besieged on all sides by cheerful chaos.
Collective animal motion — from flocking birds to schooling fish — is inspirational to artists and intriguing to scientists and engineers. A collaborative group of artists and engineers is exploring how these complex flocking motions emerge from individual movements defined by simple rules of response, rather than from a preset choreography or designated leader. The original project, conducted in 2010 and known as Flock Logic, involved dancers that communicated via visual cu


text: Wire-Feed Welder Face-Off: We Test the Top 6 Easy-to-use wire-feed welders, which feed a thin wire electrode down a hollow cable to a plastic gun, are helping to ignite a welding revival. We put six of them to the test. By Roy Berendsohn Email Comments 0 Share Back 2 of 8 Next Return to Gallery Chad Hunt Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails Campbell Hausfeld PRO-140 WG3090 Price: $370 Welding Range: 24 gauge to ¼ in. Duty Cycle: 20 percent Weight: 64 lb Current Draw, 1/8-IN. Steel: 2830 amps Likes: This homeowner-grade machine offers a lot to like. It has an all-metal drivewheel assembly, and many of its adjustments can be made without tools. Its work clamp has a nice big braided copper strap across its jaws to ensure conductivity through the weld circuit. Most important, it's easy to handle; associate editor and first-time welder Harry Sawyers flawlessly seamed two pieces of bar stock after just a couple of test runs. Dislikes: The cooling fan hit its cover, creating a racket. We fixed it, but then it started in again.
