Review of moTweets for Windows Phone
Posted on ClintonFitch.com - March 08, 2010
Clinton Fitch
Overall I have found moTweets to be a great Twitter application. It is powerful and easy to use, allowing me to view my lists and easily enter my own tweets quickly. I have been testing moTweets for many weeks now and have not found any major issues with application. Panoramic Software has done a good job of doing over-the-air updates of the application as well, addressing any known bug issues or adding new features. This is a nice feature that I wish more developers would do on their applications.

Panoramic Soft's moTweets 1.3.0 - Beauty meets a Beast of a Twitter client
Posted on bestwindowsmobileapps.com - Oct 04, 2009
One of the apps worth mentioning, created by Panoramic Soft, is called moTweets. It's still a relatively new Twitter app, but surprisingly, it has already dominated the scene as of late. What took months for competing Twitter apps to accomplish, moTweets seems to have delivered within one month. We take an in-depth look into the app's features to see why it's creating so much buzz.

Review: Panoramic Software's moTweets
Posted on peterskitchen.net - Sept 05, 2009
Peter Murphy
Although there seem to be a lot of features, and it might seem a bit complicated moTweets really does what I want from a Twitter application, all from it's front page. That's where the quick buttons come in. Panoramic have gone all out to give a really sensitive kinetic scrolling feature, that doesn't scroll, meaning you can swipe as fast or as slow as you like. When it gets to the top, or the end of the latest update there is no more.

Review: moTweets
Posted on WMExperts.com - Sept 05, 2009
Tim Ferrill
One thing that moTweets really excels in is the user interface. The entire application is smooth and consistent as far as navigating to the various features. All buttons and menu items are finger friendly and all facets of the application support scrolling with a simple swipe of your finger. The length of your time-line can be configured to cut down on older Tweets. Multiple skins give an added level of customization for those that have a color preference.

This USB tuner means Xbox One owners can watch TV via their console without switching TV input, and use voice controls too.
Pricing not available
The Xbox One Media Remote is a must-have accessory that makes it much easier to accept a gaming console as the hub of your living room.
Packed with the best specifications of the three Pop S LTE handsets in Alcatel One Touch's lineup, the Pop S9 is the likely the one you're looking for.
Pricing not available
A big-screen ultrabook with a long, long battery life, the Samsung Ativ Book 9 2014 Edition delivers a high-end laptop experience for its premium price.
The cheaper, no-Kinect version of the Xbox One gives buyers a better deal by eliminating the one part of the console they probably didn't want to begin with -- but the PS4 remains a compelling alternative.
The 85-inch member of this billionaire-level TV series has been out for awhile, and we know most of the details already: $40,000 price tag, 4K resolution, crazy easel-type stand, Now the 110-inch size is official, and it costs $150,000.
Formerly the Samsung Series 9, the rebranded Ativ Book 9 got little more than a change in name; the laptop feels dated, as it lacks a touch screen and the benefits of newer Intel processors.
With everything that was great about the HDX 7 and more, the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 isn't just a great value, it sets the standard for a media consumption tablet.
Cheapskate exclusive! This military-grade drive not only stands up to shock and water, but also has the best feature ever: built-in cable storage!
Sony announced three new wireless speakers at CES 2014, touting support for just about every wireless feature there is.

If a transporter instantly deconstructed you atom by atom, read the state of each atom sent the information to the reciever and reconstructed an exact replica of you, so exact that all your memories would be absolutely perfectly intact, the replica would step out of the reciever exactly like in Star Trek feeling only that it had been transported. It could even be transported better than you are originally. Such as if you have cancer the cancerous data could be deleted from the data, Bad heart, lungs, kidneys, liver? all could be replaced perfectly new, dna mached organs. The data could be transmitted anywhere we could put a reciever. Star travel at the speed of light would be possible. Backups of the data would be possible so no matter what happened to a replica a new one could be created. More than one could be created, they could be in two places at once and then their memories be recombined into one so it would have the memories of both.
But, make no mistake, the original would be totaly gone as totaly as if 20 tons of TNT had gone off in your ear. Sent up a chimny in a puff of smoke. And every time you transported the same thing would happen.
Put bluntly; your body would be dead, dead at your own hand. When you push that transport button you won't know if your soul will transport with you any more than you now know if you have a soul. Will you go to heaven? Will you go to hell? Will you go to oblivion? Or will you wind up at your destination? When you step into that transporter you are stepping into the totally unknown.
Maybe you are one of the first to use it for the first time and everyone tells you you are a fool to use it. Maybe you are one of the last to use it for the first time and everybody tells you you are a fool for not using it. They all say that it's totally painless and that you don't feel a thing and that they are none the worst for wear having used it.
Would you use it?

According to its own website, Murray Energy Corp. is the nation's largest privately-held coal-mining company, "producing approximately 30 million annual tons of bituminous coal … [from] eight (8) underground and surface mining operations, plus 40 subsidiary and support companies." The website also states it has "a support team of 3,000 hard-working, dedicated, and talented employees in six (6) states."
Make that 2,844. Because on Nov. 7, 2012 – less than 24 hours after a valid election awarded another 4-year term to Democratic Pres. Barack Obama, CEO Robert Murray laid off 156 workers.
In doing so, according to the Washington Post, he offered this prayer:
"Dear Lord:
The American people have made their choice. They have decided that America must change its course, away from the principals of our Founders. And, away from the idea of individual freedom and individual responsibility. Away from capitalism, economic responsibility, and personal acceptance.
We are a Country in favor of redistribution, national weakness and reduced standard of living and lower and lower levels of personal freedom.
My regret, Lord, is that our young people, including those in my own family, never will know what America was like or might have been. They will pay the price in their reduced standard of living and, most especially, reduced freedom.
The takers outvoted the producers. In response to this, I have turned to my Bible and in II Peter, Chapter 1, verses 4-9 it says, 'To faith we are to add goodness; to goodness, knowledge; to knowledge, self control; to self control, perseverance; to perseverance, godliness; to godliness, kindness; to brotherly kindness, love.'
Lord, please forgive me and anyone with me in Murray Energy Corp. for the decisions that we are now forced to make to preserve the very existence of any of the enterprises that you have helped us build. We ask for your guidance in this drastic time with the drastic decisions that will be made to have any hope of our survival as an American business enterprise.
Though Murray's company offers very little public insight about company financials, he has had plenty to say about his political preferences. An article by The New Republic lays out his significant financial support for Republican candidates and his vehement opposition to Pres. Obama.
It also repeats the accusation that Murray compelled some of his workers to attend a rally/photo op for Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney in August. The validity of those accusations have been argued – in some cases by the same minors who made them in the first place, a retraction that brings no clarity whatsoever.
But Murray is perfectly clear: He laid off workers because he didn't like the results of the election.
He implies the election will change the economics of mining coal. And to the extent that the Obama administration is increasingly aggressive about enforcing safety regulations and pollution regulations, he's probably right.
But Murray declines to mention that the economics of coal mining are suffering even more under new competitive pressures from lower-cost, cleaner and newly abundant natural gas, according to a variety of analyses, including this from the University of Pennyslvania's Wharton School of Business.
He also fails to mention that if mine regulators are a wee bit aggressive, it may have something to do with Murray Energy's own safety record. In March 2012, it paid a $500,000 fine after acknowledging 17 out of 20 citations (3 of them deemed flagrant) in the wake of a 2007 cave-in that killed 9 people at one of its Utah mines, according to the St. Louis Tribune. And in September – less than 2 months before the election – it paid another $950,000 to settle another case stemming from the same disaster.
Coal mining is dangerous work, and it pays better-than-average wages, according to this document from the National Mining Association. In Ohio and Utah – where Murray's post-election layoffs took place, the average annual pay is more than $70,000. Which means the annual cost savings from the layoffs will be in the ballpark of $13 million ([$74,000 + 20% for benefits]*156 workers).
That's no small piece of change. But neither is the amount of revenue Murray Energy generates from coal. While the company doesn't release such numbers, a simple calculation provides a useful revenue estimate. With bituminous coal selling for about $60 a ton, according to Fred Frailey in Trains magazine (who also makes a case for the impact of natural gas on coal profits), Murray Energy revenues on 30 million tons would be in the range of $1.8 billion.
So the layoff represents about 0.7% of revenue. And complete upheaval in the lives of 156 families.
It seems to answer the question: How much does it cost when a CEO throws a tantrum.

Hello, I will be in Crested Butte from February 18th through the 22nd. Since the snow situation there does not look too promising, I was wondering what options are available in the area for climbing. I'm interested in sport, trad and bouldering (in that order of preference). I've never ice climbed before, so I have no ice climbing gear, but would definitely be interested in trying it. I understand that it may be a bit too cold for rock climbing, so I was also wondering if there are any climbing gym options in the area? If anyone is interested in climbing on any of those days, and/or has any information on climbing in the area, then I would appreciate hearing from you! Thanks, Jason Young
You maybe should try using the 'Destinations' section of this website...
I've looked at the options for climbing in the area on MP, but nothing beats local experience for knowing where and what's good to climb this time of year. There is also no mention of any gyms in CB on MP (other than one in Gunnison), although a quick search on Google revealed some possibilites, there were really no descriptions of the type of "terrain" available at these places. Again, local knowledge prevails. I'm really looking for climbers who may be interested in climbing on the dates I've mentioned in the CB area.
Just because the snow sucks doesn't mean that it's still not winter. CB is up high in the mountains and COLD. It's 5-10 below zero as a low every night, so yes...it's going to be a bit too cold for rock climbing. Bring your skis man! It's CRESTED BUTTE!! Why would you want to rock climb there in the midddle of winter anyways? It's one of the best spots to ride.
I will have my snowboard and will be praying for some big dumps. It's really not my idea to go to CB for this trip, and I don't want to shell out big bucks to ski on ice, so I am trying to hedge my bets and be prepared to do something other that ski while I'm there. I typically don't climb during the winter, and haven't climbed nearly as much as I would have liked for the past 10 years, but this last year has been different, and I'm hoping to keep it up! I've been to CB once before. I loved the hill and the town, but the snow really wasn't great then either. Like I mentioned, I'll be praying for snow, but pray in one hand, and shit in the other, and......you know the rest.
Shelf road is a couple hours or so from CB, if it's not too cold you can go there. That will be really your only option for rock unless it's freakishly warm and you want to drive to the south platte. Unless hartman rocks is warm, which I would doubt, but the sun can do amazing things.
Wolf Creek is not an option for those dates. CB is already booked. Anyway, the only thing WC has going for it is the snow (which ALWAYS seems to be way more than anything else around). It's a damn shame places like Taos, CB, Telluride, etc. don't get that kind of snow. Shelf could be great, but is probably a bit too far. I don't want to completely ditch the wife :) Eldo and the Stash are already high on the list of alternate venues. However, I can drink a lot of beer, and would probably get myself into trouble if I don't find some other diversions to keep me occupied. The sun can do amazing things. We often climb in t-shirts in the middle of winter here in NM. However, CB is not in NM. Seriously, who wants to go ice climbing (I never thought I would say that). It's high time I tried it out!
You've got a pretty good chance at rock climbing in Escalante. Much more mellow of a drive than Shelf. There's also a bunch of sport / bouldering in the low part of Unaweep. This is all about 2 1/2 hours away. As for ice, Lake City isn't that far and it's easy to set topropes there if you find a place to rent the rest of the ice gear. Hartman's is probably not an option unless it gets REALLY warm next week.
Jason, Rockclimbing in CB in the middle of winter really is not an option. Ice in Lake City or desert sandstone in Escalante Canyon are the closest options. Otherwise bring your skis or consider a backcountry tour....the snow is pretty damn good! If you don't believe me, check out my business website ;-) www.crestedbutteguides.com
You seem pretty hard to please. I recommend not going at all, everything going to suck, no matter what the conditions.
Wolf Creek has some 60 degree tree skiing for 1/3 of an already short run, then totally flat (if not uphill) traversing for seemingly endless stretches to get back to the empty lift line (this is true). Definitely epic powder though! WC has it's benefits, but................... Indeed, I am very hard to please. So is my wife. Like I said, it's really not my decision to go there right now. I like to chase the snow and not plan a vacation months ahead of time and then pray for the weather to cooperate. It's a good thing I don't have to do this every year (I know, first world problem huh?). That said, CB is a GREAT town and it would be nice to meet some locals and maybe go climb something. That would go a long way to keeping me sane :) I will definitely hit the slopes at least a couple days, and who knows, maybe it will turn epic! I just want to maximize my fun.

The device is small enough to fit inside a police car or on a street corner where gun violence is common, Rocco Parascandola of The NY Daily News reports.
It works by testing for terahertz radiation, which is the natural energy that both people and inanimate objects emit.
"If something is obstructing the flow of that radiation, for example a weapon, the device will highlight that object," NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Wednesday.
The NYPD hopes to deploy these devices soon, but Kelly said that there are still "a number of trials to run" before that actually happens.
Here's an image of what the device would show:

A Dollar Tree robbery that landed the two culprits just over $3,000, will now cost the get-a-way driver more than three decades behind bars.
On May 16 of last year, police say Lyndon Myers, along with his co-defendant Earnest Johnson, robbed three employees of a Dollar Tree in Madison. As the store workers were closing for the night, Johnson approached the employees wielding a pistol. Johnson forced the three victims to put all store money into a plastic bag while holding them at gunpoint. He also made the employees duct tape each other.
Madison and Rankin Counties' District Attorney Michael Guest reports that Myers is required to serve 35 years of his 45 year sentence with the possibility of parole or early release. The last ten years of his sentence was suspended.
The sentence came after a jury found Myers guilty of three counts of armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon following his trial in November. Myers was on probation for sale of controlled substance at the time of the robbery.
The District Attorney says that while Johnson was the gunman in the plot, Myers was waiting in the Dollar Tree parking lot in a red Pontiac Grand Prix, waiting to make a get-a-way. One of the victims was able to free herself and called 911 to report the crime. The employees were able to give a description of the suspect and the vehicle to police.
Madison Police Department dispatched the information related to the car's description to all surrounding law enforcement agencies.
Madison County deputies conducted a traffic stop on Interstate 55 for a vehicle matching that of the suspect. Myers and Johnson were arrested when officers stopped their vehicle. A search of the vehicle revealed a Dollar Tree plastic bag with approximately $3,118 in cash and the pistol used by Johnson.

Grant awarded to help maintain Bromyard Downs
Updated 9:18am Friday 31st January 2014 in News By Lydia Johnson
(l-r) Bromyard resident Kelly Bryant-Jefferies, BDCA secretary Lauren Smith, BDCA vice chairman Paul Friend, BDCA committee member Helen Allan, Janet Fellows, chairman of Brockhampton Group Parish Council, and BDCA committee member Mike Cockayne.
A GRANT of more than £60,000 has been given to ensure a Bromyard beauty spot remains a place of enjoyment for years to come.
Bromyard Downs Common Association (BDCA), in partnership with Herefordshire Nature Trust, has received £67,600 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for its 'Putting the Sparkle back in to Bromyard Downs' project.
The volunteer-run project will safeguard and improve the Downs for the community and wildlife, which will see volunteers trained in a range of survey skills, and will also fund community events and improve knowledge of the flora, fauna and archaeology of the area.
Bromyard Downs Common is a 114 hectare site above the market town of Bromyard and it is home to a diverse range of animals, insects and plants.
Declining and rarer bird species including cuckoo, bullfinch and marsh tit are all at home on the Downs, as well as the increasingly rare glow worm.
Evan Bowen-Jones, chairman of BDCA, said: "We're delighted that the HLF has given us this support. The Downs is an integral part of Bromyard's identity and this success means we can ensure the Downs will be preserved for the residents and other users while continuing to be a haven for declining wildlife. It will remain a jewel in Bromyard's crown for many years to come."
The group now has up to two years to submit fully developed proposals and to get management in place which means they can apply for a second grant. This could bring their eventual funding total to £200,000.
Reyahn King, head of HLF West Midlands, said: "This initial support will help local people working to safeguard their natural environment and we look forward to receiving the detailed plans for safeguarding the commons' future for wildlife and for the local community."
The BDCA is run entirely by volunteers and as land-owners, Herefordshire Council will be involved with the project.

Horse of the Year 2009 will be announced Monday night at the annual Eclipse Awards dinner in Beverly Hills. There are two finalists: the filly Rachel Alexandra, unbeaten in eight starts as a 3-year-old, winning at seven different tracks, defeating males three times, including in the Preakness Stakes and the Woodward Stakes; and the mare Zenyatta, now six, who made history by becoming the first female to defeat males in the Breeders' Cup Classic, climaxing an undefeated career in 14 starts.
Their unprecedented accomplishments have polarized the racing industry, although a gray area also exists. Both Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta have drawn equal praise. Some say it would be unfair for either to lose. But one will. Following is an informal sampling of opinions from local media and horsemen:
TRAINER BARRY ABRAMS: "They both deserve it. Honestly, I can't give it to one over the other. At different times of the year, they both were brilliant. They beat the best they had to face. Unfortunately, they never met, but somebody has to get it, because there's no such thing as a dead-heat. I'll be disappointed no matter who doesn't get it."
STEVE ANDERSEN, DAILY RACING FORM: The selection was Zenyatta, but it was a closer call than expected.
Rachel Alexandra's race in the Woodward Stakes was her most impressive performance of the year. They came at her in stages that day--early in the race, on the turn and in deep stretch--and she repelled all of them. It's a shame that she didn't run in the Breeders' Cup--the Classic or the Ladies' Classic.
Instead, the Breeders' Cup belonged to Zenyatta. She displayed her brilliance against males over a distance she had never tried, a truly electrifying performance. It must be remembered that two of the horses that she ran past in the final furlong are likely to be champions--the older male Gio Ponti and the 3-year-old male Summer Bird.
SYNDICATED HANDICAPPER JERRY ANTONUCCI: My vote would go to Zenyatta because I've watched her all year long and her victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic was special. Should Rachel Alexandra receive the nod, I wouldn't be put out by it, but I sure would have liked to seen her in the Classic.
AARON HESZ OF HANDICAPPERS' REPORT: "I believe both Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta collectively completed two of the most brilliant campaigns of any female race horse ever. Both are worthy of the hyperbole and accolades that have been tossed their way. I think because Zenyatta showed up and beat males on racing's biggest day after beating Life Is Sweet three times through the year, she is deserving of Horse of the Year. But I think Rachel Alexandra will win the award.
HRTV ANALYST KURT HOOVER: "I don't mean this in a flippant way, but I really don't care. I enjoy watching Kobe Bryant and Lebron James play basketball, and to me, it doesn't matter who wins the MVP Award. Same with these two horses. Whoever wins will be a very deserving champion.
SYNDICATED HANDICAPPER BOB IKE: "Going into the BC Classic, I thought there was no way Zenyatta could win Horse of the Year, no matter what she did in that race. But after that performance, I did a 180-degree turn. Her win was so devastating--on the biggest day, against the best field--that I had to vote for her.
JON WHITE, SANTA ANITA MORNING LINE ODDSMAKER AND INTER-TRACK HOST: Both are truly great fillies, future Hall of Famers who had incredible years. Either one is deserving, but Zenyatta stole the show on Breeders' Cup day.
If I were to make a morning line for 2009 Horse of the Year, I'd make Rachel Alexandra an odds-on favorite. As for me, I voted for Zenyatta. Having to choose between Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta as Horse of the Year was by far the toughest Eclipse Award decision I've ever had to make. And my participation as an Eclipse Award voter goes back to 1976 when I voted for Seattle Slew as champion 2-year-old male and Forego as champion older male and Horse of the Year.
One of the reasons I voted for Zenyatta is she beat eight Grade I winners when she won the Breeders' Cup Classic. Not only was Zenyatta the first female to win the Classic, she became the first horse of either sex to win two different Breeders' Cup races. Beyond all that, it was significant to me that Zenyatta won the Vanity Handicap under 129 pounds. No other horse won a Grade I race in the United States last year under so much weight.
On the other hand, Rachel Alexandra had one of the greatest campaigns by a 3-year-old filly in history. I have to say that I really identified with what Dick Jerardi (of the Philadelphia Daily News) wrote regarding his vote for Rachel Alexandra. Jerardi said that he didn't feel good about voting for Rachel Alexandra because he thinks Zenyatta deserves to be Horse of the Year, too. And that's exactly how I felt when I cast my vote for Zenyatta. I didn't feel good about it because I honestly think Rachel Alexandra deserves to be Horse of the Year, too.
TRAINER GARY STUTE: Before the Breeders' Cup, I was very pro-Rachel Alexandra. But after the Breeders' Cup, I've got to go with Zenyatta.
MICHAEL BAZE: I hope Zenyatta wins, but I think it will be Rachel Alexandra.
RAFAEL BEJARANO: Both are great horses.
GARRETT GOMEZ: Zenyatta. The Breeders' Cup was established to bring potential champions together on one day, and she showed up. The one thing that could get Rachel Alexandra beat was Zenyatta winning the Breeders' Cup Classic, and that's exactly what she did. I think that stole Horse of the Year from Rachel Alexandra.
DANNY SORENSON: Zenyatta. She's accomplished everything that could be asked of a horse. That's not taking anything away from Rachel Alexandra. I just think Zenyatta had the type of season that should grant her Horse of the Year.
HALL OF FAME JOCKEY EDDIE DELAHOUSSAYE: They're both champions in my eyes.
Papa Clem comes into Saturday's Grade II $150,000 San Fernando Stakes at 1 1/16 miles off three straight bullet breezes, even though trainer Gary Stute is on record as saying the son of Smart Strike is not the most diligent work horse.
"He's working better than he was late last year," Stute said. "The last two works were good, but the first one after the Malibu seemed to wake him up. That was really good. Seven furlongs isn't a bad distance for him, but I think he probably was a little short."
The Malibu Stakes at seven furlongs on Dec. 26 was Papa Clem's first start since last Sept. 6, when he finished seventh in the Del Mar Derby at 1 1/8 miles on turf. Papa Clem won the Arkansas Derby, but hasn't won since, finishing fourth in the Kentucky Derby and sixth in the Preakness. The San Fernando, exclusively for 4-year-olds, has Stute concerned, but in an unexpected manner.
"This race looks awful easy on paper," he said. "I'm nervous. There's more pressure when you're 8-5 than 10-1. Like I told HRTV, 'Either he's not as good a horse as I think he is, or I'm not as good a trainer, if he loses this one.'"
The field for the San Fernando, second leg of the Strub series: Smart Bid, Mike Smith, 9-2; Viscount, Garrett Gomez, 6-1; Rendezvous, Rafael Bejarano, 9-2; Papa Clem, Tyler Baze, 3-1; Mr. Hot Stuff, Joe Talamo, 8-1; Mythical Power, Joel Rosario, 4-1; Gallant Son, Alex Solis, 8-1; and Quindici Man, Victor Espinoza, 10-1.
Rain or shine, turf or synthetic, Michael Baze is confident about High Court Drama in Monday's Grade II $150,000 San Marcos Stakes for older horses scheduled for a mile and a quarter on turf.
"I think he has a great chance either way," the 22-year-old rider said. "He's a very nice horse to ride, very easy to ride. You just put him in a stalking position and he gives you a good effort. He can handle the turf, the synthetic, just whatever you want him to do. I really love his chances."
A 5-year-old Irish-bred horse by 1987 male turf champion Theatrical, High Court Drama won an optional claiming race on Hollywood Park's turf course in his U.S. debut last Nov. 15, followed by a second in the Grade III Native Diver Handicap on Cushion Track Dec. 12. Trained by Doug O'Neill for Chris McHale of Essex of the United Kingdom, High Court Drama has a 3-4-1 record from 12 starts, with earnings of $111,039.
The field for the San Marcos: Loup Breton, Garrett Gomez; Muhannak, Martin Pedroza; Dynamic Range, Victor Espinoza; Riviera Cocktail, Joel Rosario; Zappa, Mike Smith; Porfido, Joe Talamo; Pearl Fisher, Jose Valdivia Jr.; High Court Drama, Michael Baze; and Aggie Engineer, Alex Solis.
NO JOY FOR SCOTT; FACES RETIREMENT After 28 years in the saddle, the woman who has won more races than any female jockey in the history of Southern California racing is about to call it a career.Citing severe financial hardships, Joy Scott said Friday morning at Clockers' Corner her retirement is imminent.
"They're going to foreclose on my house on Feb. 19," Scott said. "I've battled the system for years, and despite the fact that I live 20 minutes from here in the San Fernando Valley, it hasn't made enough of a difference in getting mounts. I did OK riding Arabians at Los Alamitos where I was the leading rider in that category for five or six years in a row, but after suffering serious injuries there several years ago, I lost my Thoroughbred business at Santa Anita. Some of the people I rode for also passed away.
"When they didn't allow Arabians back in at Los Alamitos, there went my little income and the minor status I had to keep me going and winning races. It was fun to win, plus it paid the mortgage, up until last June, when the Arabians went on the fair circuit and didn't come back."
The 51-year-old Scott also has other financial commitments, including her 22-year-old son Jesse's expenses at UC Berkeley, where he is a junior. "I have no agent, and when I would go to the draw to ride a horse I had that was decent, it would be hustled away," Scott said. "I love all my fellow riders, but some ride five and six a day and can't hit the board, yet still get mounts.
"I have one more horse to ride for an old client of trainer Paul Bellasis'. I'm still strong and still have the passion to ride, but the money burden is just too much right now."
FINISH LINES: HRTV will carry the much-anticipated Horse of the Year announcement live Monday from the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. The announcement is expected to take place at 7:15 p.m. As previously announced, TVG has exclusive coverage of the Eclipse Awards, but will allow HRTV to also carry the announcement live on their network. HRTV's "Inside Information: Nowhere to Run," which was awarded a 2009 Eclipse Award for National Television Feature Honorable Mention, will have a special encore presentation Sunday at 6 p.m. The show, which debuted in September, highlights the impact of Hurricane Katrina on Fair Grounds Race Course and the horse racing community. In an ironic twist, HRTV's Executive Producer, Amy J. Zimmerman, will accept the award Monday night for Rob Hyland of NBC, who won an award with his feature on "Mine That Bird." "Rob called earlier this week and can't attend because of a conflict with work," said Zimmerman. "He asked me if I would accept it for him and I am honored to do so." Zimmerman was also a producer on ESPN's 2009 Belmont telecast which won this year's Eclipse Award for National Television Live Programming. It was the 13th time Zimmerman has been a producer on an Eclipse Award winning production . . . Track superintendent Richard Tedesco said rain is expected late Sunday night, "six to eight inches over the whole week. I may close the track for workouts Monday morning, because we're racing that day." Joked trainer Vladimir Cerin: "If you were a really good trackman, you wouldn't let it rain." . . . Santa Anita morning line oddsmaker Jon White correctly tabbed all 16 betting favorites at Santa Anita on Wednesday and Thursday . . . Oak Leaf Stakes winner Blind Luck, a finalist for an Eclipse Award as outstanding 2-year-old filly of 2009, worked five furlongs on Pro-Ride Friday in 1:01.40 under Rafael Bejarano. "She finished up real nice," said trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, who is preparing her for the Grade I Las Virgenes Stakes on Feb. 6. "We don't work them fast anyway." Reminded that leading trainer Bob Baffert has an affinity for bullet works, Hollendorfer said, "He does that better than anybody. I'd like to be a little more like him. I can't knock it." . . . Super chef Bobby Flay will present the trophy to the winning connections of the Grade II El Encino Stakes on Sunday . . . Paul Atkinson and David Flores ride at Turf Paradise Saturday. Atkinson is named on Malibu Artiste for trainer Carl O'Callaghan in the $50,000 Glendale Handicap, the same race Flores rides Dextera for James Cassidy. Flores also rides Feisty Suances for Darrell Vienna in the $75,000 Cotton Fitzsimmons Mile Handicap . . . All THOROUGHBREDS members will receive a free Santa Anita collectible ice bucket while supplies last on Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. First post time is 12:30 p.m. Gates open at 10:30 a.m. Santa Anita will be dark for live racing on Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 19 and 20 . . . Daily Racing Form Chairman and Publisher Steven Crist will be at Santa Anita Saturday to sign his new book and DVD, "Exotic Tickets," from noon to 1 p.m. The signing will take place at Champions! Gift Shop, located in the East Paddock Gardens . . . Entering Thursday's races, there were 95 contestants alive in ShowVivor.

How Common is Cervical Cancer?While cervical cancer used to be a common cause of cancer death among women in the United States, it is now much less common. In 2007, it is estimated that over 11,000 women will be diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer in 2007 within the United States. Over 40,000 will be diagnosed with non-invasive cervical cancer. Unfortunately, 3,670 women will die of the disease in 2007.
In underdeveloped countries, cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in women.
What are the Symptoms of Cervical Cancer?In the early stages of cervical cancer, there usually are no symptoms. Cervical cancer symptoms begin to appear as the disease advances, invading deeper into the cervix and surrounding tissue. As the disease progresses, women may experience:
- abnormal vaginal bleeding, including post-coital bleeding
- pain during sexual intercourse, however this can be common and unrelated to cervical cancer
- pelvic pain
- heavy vaginal discharge
What are the Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer?One of the main risks for developing cervical cancer being infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a common virus that is transmitted through sexual contact. Other cervical cancer risk factors include having sex at an early age, smoking cigarettes, having multiple sexual partners, and having a weakened immune system.
Keep in mind that risk factors only increase the likelihood of developing cervical cancer, they do not guarantee you will develop it.
How is Cervical Cancer Diagnosed?The first step in diagnosing cervical cancer is through the Pap smear, a simple test that allows cervical cells to be examined under a microscope. If suspicious cells are found, then a colposcopy is performed. A colposcopy allows a doctor to view the cervix more closely. During the colpsocopy, a cervical biopsy may be done. If the biopsy finds cancerous cells, additional tests will be done to determine the stage of the disease.
- What to Expect During a Pap Smear
- How Often Should You Have a Pap Smear?
- The Best Time to Have a Pap Smear
How is Cervical Cancer Treated?Cervical cancer is treated in several ways. The type of cervical cancer and the stage of the disease greatly affects what treatment methods are used.
Cervical cancer may be treated with surgery, such as a hysterectomy. Other forms forms of treatment include chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Treatment varies from patient to patient. One patient may only have surgery, while another may undergo several types of treatment. It all depends on the type and stage of cervical cancer.

PEORIA, Ill. -- The Children's Hospital of Illinois announced Monday that 2-year-old Hannah Warren, who received a trachea transplant on April 9, died on Saturday.
We met Hannah two months ago following her surgery. She was a happy go lucky little girl who had recently enjoyed her first lollipop. Something she was unable to do before her surgery. Hannah was born without a windpipe and couldn't breathe on her own.
Hannah traveled from South Korea to the Children's Hospital of Illinois in Peoria. In April, she became the first child in the world to receive a bio-artificial trachea, made from her own stem cells, which virtually eliminates the risk of her body rejecting the transplant.
According to doctors, her surgery went very well but she was unable to overcome additional health issues that were identified as her care progressed.
"She had some anatomical issues and she had some previous illness issues we had to deal with, but the trachea itself worked fine," said Dr. Rick Pearl.
After surgery Hannah's lung function began to deteriorate going from fairly good, to weak, to poor.
On their website, Hannah's parents posted the following.
"Hannah's life, although short, is going to mean a lot for science and for patients who learn something from her death."
Hannah's doctors agree.
"When you're dealing with a complete new science and a complete new series of technologies, you're kind of doing something that's never been done before, you can't really look it up in the textbook or in an article to deal with a certain issue but that said, we learned an enormous amount of information," said Dr. Pearl.
Hannah passed away on Saturday, July 6, from lung failure. She would have turned 3 years old on August 22.
Her procedure was paid for through donations and charity and research funds.
The Children's Hospital of Illinois said that regenerative medicine remains in the early stages for pediatric patients and the progress is being made.

Mänland: Does your man need a playplace when you go shopping?
Mänland. No, it's not the latest Scandinavian gay dance bar in Chelsea. But we'll give you a hint: Mänland is Scandinavian and there could possibly be some meatballs involved.
It seems as though IKEA has latched on to the truism that men hate to shop. So instead of wives lugging their unappreciative, bored husbands and boyfriends around while pointing out possible shelving units, Ikea stores in Australia have created a safe place for these men, called, yes Mänland, which features foosball and Xbox games, sports on the television, and free food (throw in free beer and it's honestly a bro's Shangri-La).
Apparently, the in-store area is modeled off of their toddler area, and wives are given buzzers (like shopping mothers are), reminding them to pick up their men after 30 minutes.
There's no word yet on if Ikea plans to take Mänland to, well, the mainland. But we can see there being a huge market for it here.

Who should start in goal for the Bruins at Ottawa Friday night?
- Tuukka Rask (77%, 164 Votes)
- Tim Thomas (23%, 48 Votes)
Total Voters: 212
Who should start in goal for the Bruins at Ottawa Friday night?
Total Voters: 212
MCK – Rask got more aggressive as the game went on and he needs minutes. The glove save on Grabner was ridiculous
MCK, he's not going to get better w/o playing. We all know that goalies play better with actual work, not practice, so that's even more of a reason to get him in tonight, I say.
Rask looked below average on the Isle last night. That is not good.
That's a tough one. I voted Tuukka becuase I think the TT could use the extra rest and TR could use the extra work.
All in all though, I'd be happy with a close to even split between them from here on out.
play rask
he needs to get his game going, and the b's need him to get it going too just in case. he wasnt bad tonight but could use the confidence of another game
thomas needs the rest
as for the team being tired and the new player, the lineup decisions alone should spark the team to play stronger, and play stuart (tonights scratch) to help with anyone who might need a night off. plus hes a defesive minded defenseman. and ottawa is a weaker team right now.
bottom line do whatever it takes to get rask in there
i'd alternate based on the competition and back to back sked. tt tomorrow and sat against nucks. tuukka against cgy (tues) and edm (sun). tt looking tired.
Gotta give Thomas a rest but, not on a back to back game night. The team will be a bit tired from playing the isles, and therefore will need the hotter goalie to come up big for them to get the win in ottawa. Let Rask play after ottawa. Plus with the new addition to the team, the chemistry wont be there in game 1.
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Matt Kalman, Jonas Nilsson and BostonSports93, tiff★ny. tiff★ny said: RT @TheBruinsBlog: New blog: You vote: Rask or Thomas to start for Bruin in Ottawa Friday night http://bit.ly/i3dPDT #bruins [...]
Ya got to keep playin Tuuk! If you don't he won't get any better.
Al Montoya.
Tuukka needs his minutes, Thomas can use the rest.
Tim needs rest, B's will be in Ottawa again next week, Rask can handle them this time, Tim can lower his GAA+SV% next time

Saturday 04 August 2012
Goalkeeper Adam Federici has agreed to extend his stay at Reading by signing a new contract with the Barclays Premier League club.
The 27-year-old Australian, who first joined the Royals in 2005 from Italian club Sassari Torres, has put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him at the club until 2015.
"It's going to be great putting myself up against some of the best players and top goalies in the world"
- Adam Federici
"I've been here a long time," Federici told the club's official website. "I've put in a lot of blood, sweat and tears so it wouldn't have been right to do anything other than sign again."
"I used to get a little bit annoyed when people talked about me being the best in the Championship because I want to be judged on a bigger scale," added the former Wolves goalkeeper, who has made 143 appearances for Reading and been capped six times by Australia.
"Thankfully, I can have that to look forward to this season. It's going to be great to be putting myself up against some of the best players and the top goalies in the world, which is what I have dreamed of since I first came over here."
Reading manager Brian McDemott said: "He is a lesson to young professionals about what is required to get to the top of your game. His work-rate, diligence and desire are second to none."
Chairman Sir John Madejski added: "I'm over the moon he has signed for us once more. He is without doubt one of the best goalkeepers in the country and was vital in getting us promoted again."
Director of football Nick Hammond also lauded the Australia international. "Adam was the best goalkeeper in the Championship last year, and I think he'll prove to be one of the best in the Premier League as well," he said.

A fallen streetlight sits in a puddle of water in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana on August 29, 2012, as Hurricane Isaac battered the city and surrounding region, flooding homes and driving stormy waters over the top of at least one levee, seven years to the day after Katrina devastated the city. Packing vicious winds of 80 miles (130 kilometers) per hour and rolling slowly over Louisiana, Isaac has dumped huge quantities of rain on the renowned US jazz city as residents cowered in their homes.

Cape Coral wants to be more business friendly, so the city sent out a survey asking businesses what they need to be more successful. But can city leaders meet the demands?
B.J. Odom and his business partner Dave Devereaux opened their pizza joint three weeks ago.
Business is off to a good start, but getting to this point was not easy.
"You hear the horror stories about getting the codes and licensing and permits. And yes, most of that is true," said BJ Odom.
We talked to 4 different businesses and they all had very similar complaints.
Sarah Johnson opened a boutique in what she calls her cozy corner just off Del Prado.
"So far since we've opened cape coral has been very nice," said Johnson.
She's happy now, but admits navigating the system was tough.
"It was a little confusing trying to figure out in the beginning all the steps that I had to take," said Johnson.
The city of Cape Coral says it's aware of the problem.
The city recently sent a survey to 150 businesses.
From the responses, the Economic Development Office noted 4 different areas that need improvement. Customer service is one of those areas that need improvement.
"Make it easier. Make it so it's - get in, get out. Make it like one stop shopping so you can get these things open," said Odom.
Business owners say the easier the process, the more shops and restaurants will open and thrive in Cape Coral.
The city of Cape Coral says it has hired two customer advocates whose sole job it is to help businesses.
They also have a permit class, which is an educational seminar that leads people through the process of permitting and licensing.

The Arisman Excavations are runing since 2000 as a cooperation project between the Eurasia Section of the German Archaeological Institute, the Iranian Cultural Heritage Organization and the Geological Survey of Iran.
Die Forschungen in der Region von Arisman sind Teil des interdisziplinären Forschungsprojekts "Bergbau und Metallurgie im Altertum auf dem Iranischen Hochplateau". Dabei soll die Entwicklung der frühen Metallurgie und ihre Auswirkungen auf Gesellschaft und Umwelt unter verschiedenen Gesichtspunkten untersucht werden (Rohstoffgewinnung, Verhüttungstechnologie, Umweltauswirkungen, Organisation von Arbeit und Handel, Fernbeziehungen). Arisman ist eine Siedlung, in der von der Mitte des 4. Jt. v. Chr. bis zum Beginn des 3. Jt. v. Chr. Kupferverhüttung und -verarbeitung in industriellem Maßstab stattfanden. In den letzten Jahren wurden Teile einer Metallhandwerkersiedlung sowie Kupferverhüttungsöfen am Rand der Siedlung freigelegt, so daß der metallurgische Prozeß detailliert rekonstruiert werden kann. Ein Survey im Hinterland von Arisman ergab, daß es eine noch ältere Phase der Kupferverarbeitung in dieser Region und weitere Verhüttungsplätze am Rand der Wüste gibt. Arisman scheint aber zu einem zentralen Ort im näheren Umkreis zu avancieren, was auf eine Bevölkerungsverdichtung hinweisen könnte.
The prehistoric settlement Arisman (Fig.: general view of the site with the Karkas Mountains in the background) is located about 60 km southeast of Kashan and 10 km east of Natanz, in Isfahan province. It consists of several separate elevations or shallow tells that cover several hectares along the northeastern foothills of the Karkas mountains, close to the desert fringe. They can be distinguished in three areas, Arisman I-III. Surface finds suggest settlement activities over the whole area from the late 5th to the 3rd millennium BC, while Arisman II must have also been in use during a later time, towards the end of the 2nd mill. BC.
Arisman excavations form part of a larger project focussing on ancient mining and metallurgy in the western part of the Central Iranian Plateau that includes the prospection of ore resources, the documentation of ancient mining traces, and the investigation of prehistoric metal processing in a specialized settlement - Arisman. Investigating the cultural and historical development of western Central Iran at the crossroads between Susiana, Turkmenistan and Belutchistan is a second research objective.
Excavations at the prehistoric metal working site Arisman, combined with archaeological and geological surveys in the vicinity of the site were conducted from 2000 to 2004 within the framework of the interdisciplinary research project "Early Mining and Metallurgy on the wester Iranian Plateau", in coperation with the Iranian Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organisation. Since 2005 the first phase of this work is completed and the results of the first five years are currently prepared for publication.
Following the topographical mapping and geophysical survey at Arisman I, five areas (areas A-E) were chosen for excavation. Altogether c. 1100 sqm. with a maximum of 1.6 m cultural layers were exposed. The vicinity of Arisman was also subject of archaeological and geological survey.
The results of the first five years of work are currently prepared for publication.
Arisman was occupied from the first half of the 4th to the early 3rd mill. BC. The oldest occupation of the so-called "Sialk IV period" (first half - middle of 4th mill. BC) consists of domestic houses constructed from pisé, excavated in area B. Shortly after that, workshops existed in the ruins of these houses. Five pottery kilns demonstrate the technological skills of the time, when humans managed to conduct pottery firing at specific temperatures. The kilns are round with one combustion channel at one side. A column in the middle supported an intermediate floor, on which the pottery was stacked. The workshop dumps also contained waste from the copper- and silver production, such as crucibles, moulds and cupels. The installations where these materials were processed must have existed nearby, but were not located during the excavations.
The later occpuation of the so-called "Sialk IV period" (c. 3000 BC) was exposed in area C. It consists of densely arranged, urban layout mudbrick houses. The brick format, the pottery and the seals demonstrate the cultural affiliation of Arisman with the Proto-Elamite culture. Metal worskshops for the processing of copper and silver, such as large fire platforms, existed inside the houses. The copper used there to be cast in ingots, aes or other artifacts was first smelted in furnaces located the edge of the settlement.
These furnaces are an important technological innovation introduced during the Proto-Elamite period. The allow for the large-scale production of copper. The slag heaps in areas A, D and E are related to furnace smelting and consist of about 180 tons of slag. In area A, the respective furnace was exposed: it is a small mudbrick platform wih a depression in the middle. The upper part of the furnace had to be constructed anew for every single smelting process and was covered with clay plaster. This furnace is one of the latest features exposed at arisman. It dates to the first half of the 3rd mill. BC. It is contemporaneous with the latest usage of the houses area C as a graveyard. There, the dead were deposited in large storage jars, and were accompagnied with beads and copper ornaments.
Arisman excavations are a cooperation project including the Eurasia Department of the German Archaeological Institute, the Iranian Cultural Heritage Organisation (ICHO), the Geological Survey of Iran (GSI), the Department for Archaeometry at the University of Freiberg, and the German Mining Museum Bochum.

Shooting Fireworks – The Hybrid Way!
Watching fireworks has got to be one of the most fun things for kids and kids at heart.
I'm definitely one of those (I'll let you decide which one!)
This year I had the opportunity to watch the Canada Day fireworks from a friend's balcony. What a treat! Even though it was a party atmosphere, I was still able to experiment a bit with camera settings and also shoot some video clips.
My sweet spot for fireworks shutter speed was 1 second.
- Yup. One measly secondo.
- I set the ISO on 400 and used Shutter priority.
Timing is everything!
When you shoot still photos of fireworks using such a short shutter speed, timing is really important. You have to learn to watch when the fireworks are released and time it so you press the shutter when the burst is at the maximum. It's easy to predict if you pay attention.
I pressed the video record button.
I was still in Shutter priority mode and 400 ISO. I just let the camera do its thing. With video, you do occasionally get some overexposure. If you are worried about that you can use the exposure compensation and set it to -1 or -2 ev and that will keep the blacks blacker. But I don't mind a bit of light in the sky as it usually adds nice color too.
Composition was a consideration too.
I also like to shoot fireworks with a cityscape in the background, so this downtown location was perfect. It adds context and I like how the city lights blend in with the fireworks.
Don't be afraid to experiment.
Most people would never think to start with a shutter speed of 1 second! Try it for yourself. And don't forget your tripod.
Assembling the hybrid eProduct.
- All video and stills were shot with the Lumix GH3
- I shot jpgs, and the photos used in the show are right out of the camera
- I recorded lots of video and it took a long time to go through it and take out the best parts
- Nothing was edited except trimming and exporting of the clips in Lightroom to mp4 format
- My show was assembled using ProShow Web
- The music comes with the ProShow software and you can use it for commercial purposes
- Total assembly time was about 90 minutes, mostly due to the video sorting
Some of the stills were taken during the video recording (you can do that with mirrorless cameras), and they were automatically set to at ISO 5000 with a shutter speed of 1/60s. You can really see the noise in those shots. But the ones shot at 400 ISO are clean!

Bureaucrat Who Approved Solyndra Loan Resigns, NYTimes Buries News on Page A17
Energy Department bureaucrat Jonathan Silver tendered his resignation on October 6, effective the following day. Silver led the Energy Department office that approved the ill-fated $528 million loan to solar energy firm Solyndra, despite concerns from some in the White House that it was a disaster waiting to happen.
Although the development occurred the same day as President Obama reiterated his support for similar loans for green energy, the New York Times buried staff writer Matthew Wald's story on page A17 of the October 7 paper.
Wald closed his article by quoting President Obama's defense of loans to green energy firms:
"The idea is pretty straightforward: If we are going to be able to compete in the 21st century, then we've got to dominate cutting-edge technologies, we've got to dominate cutting-edge manufacturing," he said. "Clean energy is part of that package of technologies of the future that have to be based here in the United States if we're going to be able to succeed."
But a few days earlier in the October 4 paper Wald and colleague Eric Lipton reported that even venture capitalists with a financial stake in green energy firms voiced concern over the Solyndra loan while it was still on the drawing board (emphasis mine):
WASHINGTON — Some White House officials were so concerned last year about the financial health of Solyndra, a solar equipment manufacturer that had received federal loans, that they warned that a presidential trip to the company's California factory could prove a major embarrassment, newly disclosed e-mails show.
The e-mails, gathered as part of a Congressional investigation into the Department of Energy loan program, offer new insight into just how worried administration officials were about the $528 million loan to Solyndra, which is now in bankruptcy, as well as other government efforts, amounting to $16 billion in loan guarantees, to promote clean energy. The warnings came from both inside the White House — an official in the Office of Management and Budget wrote that the visit could be "embarrassing in the not too distant future" — as well as from private investors, including one Democratic campaign contributor who wrote to the White House the day before the president's May 2010 visit to Solyndra to urge officials to reconsider the trip.
"I just want to help protect the president from anything that could result in negative or unfair press," Steve Westly, a California venture capitalist and an Obama contributor, wrote in May 2010 to Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to the president. "If it's too late to change/postpone the meeting, the president should be careful about unrealistic/optimistic forecasts that could haunt him in the next 18 months if Solyndra hits the wall, files for bankruptcy, etc."
A Solyndra investor, in an e-mail sent to the White House in late 2009, asked why the government had been willing to offer the solar start-up so much money.
"One of our solar companies with revenues of less than $100 million (and not yet profitable) received a government loan of $580 million," the investor, Brad Jones of Redpoint Ventures, wrote in December 2009 to Lawrence H. Summers, then the president's chief economic adviser, referring to Solyndra. "While that is good for us, I can't imagine it's a good way for the government to use taxpayer money."
The investment, Mr. Jones said, demonstrated broad problems with the government loan program. "The allocation of spending to clean energy is haphazard; the government is just not well equipped to decide which companies should get the money and how much," he wrote.

Steven Spinner, one of Obamas big fund raisers (1/2 million before being appointed), and then appointed by Obummer to be one of the people overseeing the energy loan program, not only pushed hard to get the loan through, his wife worked for the law firm that, you guessed it, represents you-know-which-company.
The media is practicing blatant malfeasance. They should be all over this and fast-and-furious!
Do they (the MSM) think that people aren't noticing that they are NOT doing their job? Well, except for one lone CBS reporting working fast-and-furious, of course.
The people in this administration make the old Chicago mafia look like girl scouts.

Obama and his political racketeers have been praying to Gaia, goddess of green jobs and fount of political donations to the Obama campaign and the DNC, asking her to please, please make the Solyndra story go away. Please bury the story, they beg of her earnestly. The NYT has cooperated very well with their desires. Gaia is very pleased with the NYT.
