Sweet taste of success for budding young masterchef
5:51pm Thursday 15th November 2012 in News By Hannah Bryan, Reporter (Darlington)
YOUNG culinary stars of the future turned up the heat as they went head-to-head in the sizzling final of a Darlington cookery competition.
The seven budding chefs, aged between 14 and 16, from schools across the town battled it out in the kitchens of Darlington College to be crowned Darlington Young Chef of the Year 2012.
After a cook-off, 14-year-old Hayley Bowes, from Longfield Academy of Sport, scooped the title with her meal of mushroom polenta grill, hoisin and sesame-glazed grilled duck and an individual summer berry fruit pavlova.
The budding chef - who will now be entered into the next round of the national Rotary Young Chef of the Year competition – hopes to one day become a top chef or dietician.
"It feels really surreal and it's not sunk in yet," she said. "I absolutely love cooking and am working towards my AS in food technology at school."
Judge and catering tutor at Darlington College, Donna Joyce, said Miss Bowes' food was restaurant quality and cooked to perfection.
She said: "All the entries were fantastic and there were seven winners in the end.
"But Hayley's technical skills were so professional and hers was a very well balanced menu. To think she is only 14 and cooking to this standard is amazing."
Head chef at Rockliffe Hall, Kenny Atkinson, who was also on the judging panel said: "I was really impressed and blown away by them all.
"Some chefs I know would not have been able to cope with this pressure, so they should all be really proud of themselves."
All seven finalists were presented with certificates and will be invited back to the college for a celebratory meal cooked by the tutors.
The competition, which was organised by Darlington Rotary Club and Darlington College, with support from The Northern Echo, is set to become a yearly contest with schools across Darlington taking part.

Kazmir takes on the Red Sox
Tampa Bay (45-73) at Boston (71-47), Tuesday, 7:05 p.m. ET
Scott Kazmir hopes to continue his success against the Red Sox on Tuesday night, when the Devil Rays play the second game of their three-game series at Fenway Park.The left-hander boasts a 5-3 record and 2.55 ERA in 13 career appearances against the American League East-leading Red Sox. Kazmir has been on a roll lately, with six consecutive quality starts. His latest came on Thursday, when he hurled six shutout innings in an 8-1 win over the Tigers. Kazmir pitched six scoreless innings against the Red Sox the last time he faced them, picking up a no-decision on July 29 in a 5-2 Rays win. Boston's Jon Lester has struggled in his last three starts. In his last outing, the left-hander gave up eight hits and walked three, only escaping a loss when the Red Sox were able to tie the game after he'd exited. Lester faced Tampa Bay in his second outing, also a no-decision. This will be his first game at Fenway Park since returning to action after a successful battle with lymphoma. After finishing with the Red Sox, the Rays will enjoy an off-day before returning to Tropicana Field to begin a homestand against the Indians, Red Sox and A's. Pitching matchup
TB: LHP Scott Kazmir (9-7, 3.58 ERA)
Kazmir has walked just 12 hitters in his last six starts. BOS: LHP Jon Lester (1-0, 6.43 ERA)

CATEGORIES Comedy, Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Deals, Scripts, Movies, CinematicalI don't know about you, but I was sure hoping that Hollywood would give us more movies about women and their love of shoes. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Beth Harbison's Shoe Addicts Anonymous is heading to the big screen. The plot is exactly as you'd imagine it -- four women who meet up and chat about shoes. Tapping into the Sex and the City sort of scenario, there's the trophy wife of a senator, a phone sex operator, a nanny, and the lead, a woman in massive consumer debt. Actress and writer Laurie Taylor-Williams has been tapped to adapt the novel.
And while these women join over love of shoes, a couple might be heading for the dumping bin for a classically stupid reason. The Hollywood Reporter also posts that we've got a new wedding-centric comedy on the way called The Big Question. Written by TV writer Andrew Lenchewski to be directed by 30 Rock's Michael Engler, the film focuses on a couple's mind games as he plans to propose on New Year's Eve and his girlfriend plans an unspoken deadline of Christmas Eve.
Finally, we've got a female-centric film that is blissfully lacking the overused stereotypes. Variety reports that Paramount has grabbed the screen rights to Dave Roman's graphic novel Agnes Quill: An Anthology of Mystery for Thor Freudenthal to direct and Evan Spiliotopoulos to adapt. Agnes is a 16-year-old girl who inherits not only her grandfather's estate, but also his ability to talk to the dead. So just like Ricky Gervais got swamped by the dead masses in Ghost Town, Agnes becomes the focus of her town's passed population. It sounds cute, and could certainly make for a fun tale.

LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers manager Don Mattingly appeared in six consecutive All-Star Games for the American League from 1984-89. However, his personal All-Star highlight didn't happen on the field.
It was in 1984, the former Yankee's first full season in the Major Leagues. He would go on to win a batting title that season, while leading the league in hits and doubles at age 23, and finish fifth in AL MVP Award voting.
But what Mattingly remembers best about that first All-Star Game appearance happened in the AL clubhouse.
"I know my favorite memory was in 1984 and I was selected to my first game 1984 in San Francisco at old Candlestick Park," Mattingly recalled.
"Rod Carew was on the team, and he was my favorite player as a kid growing up. I don't know if he knew that or he read an article saying that or what, but he signed a bat and gave it to me, and I still have it to this day. That's my favorite All-Star Game memory."
Eventual Hall of Famer Carew started that All-Star Game at first base for the AL. Mattingly was one of three first-base reserves, along with Eddie Murray and Alvin Davis. Mattingly flied out as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning of a 3-1 loss.
The 2012 All-Star Game will be played at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City on Tuesday, July 10. Come to MLB.com for extensive online coverage of the All-Star Week festivities.The 83rd All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS, and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed.

Kodak exits opto and ends an era
It's just the business getting older, but Kodak had been a classic example of a U.S. company deep into optoelectronics--that is, the actual making of the chips. No more.
Lasers in Medical Imaging: The Forecast Looks Very Bright
Almost all medical imaging to date has used one of three technologies: X-rays, magnetism (MRI), or ultrasound. X-rays alone have been used for almost 120 years now, and although today's imaging technology has improved vastly over the many years, the fact remains that x-rays, ultrasound, and magnetism are all technologies that, due to many factors, produce coarse images, at least by today's standards. But what if a very coherent light source was used instead, maybe a laser?
Actually, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which produces images based on the reflections of coherent light, is not a new technology. OCT has been used since the early 1990s, especially in the area of ophthalmology, where the images produced by OCT are 100 times finer than standard images produced by ultrasound. In just the last five years, OCT has become one of the most important retinal imaging techniques used today.
The Impact of the Epistar Acquisition on the LED Industry
Epistar (2448.TW) announced a plan to fully acquire Forepi (3061.TW), the second-largest chipmaker in Taiwan, through a share swap (1:3.448), implying 18% share dilution to Epistar. The effective date will be the end of 2014, and Forepi will be delisted from the TAIEX.
After the merger, Epistar will become the world's largest LED chip maker in terms of capacity with a global market share of 15%, which will better position the company to lead in future technology development.
EPA's New Emissions Cutting Plan Could Have an Effect on LED Lighting
On June 2nd, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a rule designed to cut carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal plants by as much as 30 percent by 2030, compared with 2005 levels. The EPA will finalize the proposal in mid-2015 and then give states a year to design their own plans to meet targets. The organization will let states meet emission targets for power plants in several ways, including through plant upgrades, by switching from coal to natural gas, by improving energy efficiency, or by promoting renewable energy outside the plant site. This approach will give states greater flexibility in designing plans to meet the EPA's targets.
Where's the Glare?
LIGHTFAIR, the world's largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference, took place in Las Vegas last week. I wanted to share my thoughts on what I saw that was of the most interest. The 3 main things I saw were: a lot of LED luminaires, more use of optics in products, and lighting controls being present in nearly every booth. To read up more on controls, please see our blogs: Let's Talk Controls and Lightfair International Gets Smart. I will focus on what I saw in terms of optics and LED luminaires.
Lightfair International Gets Smart
At Lightfair International 2013, it seemed only a handful of companies had a booth with a smart lighting solution - Philips, TCP, and Samsung were among the more recognizable ones that I noticed. Fast forward one year and it seems that smart lighting could be found at almost every booth; even the non-name brand booths seemed to have some sort of solution. Whether this was wireless controls to dim lights or change color through your smart phone - or even gesture control...

Riverview Women's Ministry is now apart of the Riverview Conference Center in Cedar Falls.
"We are not a church, so we are not here to place church ministries for women but to supplement. We hope women in the Cedar Valley will join, and maybe we can reach women that don't have a church home," said Riverview Women's Ministry Co-Director Rhonda DeBuhr.
The women's ministry formally started in May, with lots of upcoming events this fall.
Each Wednesday from 9:30 to 11 a.m. or 6:30 to 8 p.m., women are invited to a casual fellowship called "Women Connect." It takes place at the Retreat House at the Riverview Conference Center.
A weekly Bible Study is also slated to start in September from 6:30 to 8 p.m. each Thursday. A daytime Bible Study starts October 1st from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. each Tuesday.
The women's ministry is also kicking off a book Club on September 23 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. The first book is Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World; Finding Intimacy with God in the Busyness of Life.
Each of those activities are informal events open to any and all women.
"We aren't doing anything real formal because we know in this world of stressful activities and schedules that women just need a peaceful time for themselves, with themselves, and with other women."
Riverview Women's Ministry also has several events planned that require pre-registration. One is a WomanWise conference from 7 to 9 p.m. on September 20th. Tickets are $10. Another activity is a day trip to the Peppercorn Pantry in Aplington on September 27th. You'll leave around 9:30 a.m. and return at 3:30 p.m.
A scrapbooking retreat is scheduled for October 18-20th.
Riverview Women's Ministry Co-Director Rhonda DeBuhr said the goal is to inspire women to develop deeper relationships with God and other women. She hopes this ministry gives women a little time to focus on themselves.
For more information call the Riverview Conference Center at 319-268-0787 or click here.

Cooperstown, a wonderful place
to live
By all accounts, the first Fall for Cooperstown weekend was a resounding success. Big thanks to all the merchants, museums and churches that participated in this wonderful event, as well as the board of trustees who supported the idea at every step of the way. Even the weather helped us out!
With the music and beer tasting in Pioneer Park, the sidewalk sales and free museum admissions, Main Street was more crowded than usual for mid-October. Thank you to the committee of Margaret Savoie, Patti Ashley, Karen Katz, Matt Grady, Pat Szarpa (Executive Director, Cooperstown Chamber of Commerce) and Teri Barown for planning events and working on making things run so smoothly.
An especially huge thank you to Kristen Griger. Kristen and Growing Community were working on a community dinner idea at the same time the village was planning the Fall for Cooperstown weekend. By folding their idea into ours, the weekend ended on the most beautiful note, with over 300 people sitting together, sharing food, talk and laughs on the most perfect of fall afternoons. Thanks also to Brewery Ommegang for donating cases of beer for our communal feast and to our Main Street neighbors for embracing the event despite the inconvenience of having the street closed in front of their homes. The event was made much easier by the generous loan of all the tables and chairs by The Farmers' Museum.
One of the dinner attendees said that when she came down Main Street from Middlefield, she almost began to cry at the vision of a crowd of people enjoying each other's company and, by example, showing to each other what makes Cooperstown so wonderful a place to live. It was truly magnificent.

The UConn recruit has said the Hall of Fame coach will return.
Per Vince Walden at IMG, DeAndre Daniels has committed to Connecticut.From the Twitter of Evan Daniels at Scout. Walden is IMG Basketball Academy's basketball coach. The news was also confirmed by Andy Borman, IMG's basketball director, but no word from Daniels himself. So, there's that. Daniels is a 5* recruit that was once heavily pursued by Kentucky. He had been previously committed to the Texas Longhorns and was also said to be "close to committing" to Kansas and Duke at some point during his recruitment. His commitment to UConn seemingly comes out of left field, but nothing in Daniels' recruitment should be a surprise at this point.
DeAndre Daniels commits to UConn, 4-star PF and highest ranked remaining player for 2011.

Poured one and a half cans into a 1/2 liter stein,poured a light lemon tinged dull golden with a nice fluffy one finger bone white crown that left a nice full ring of lace as it settled into a frothy mass.Aromas are grainy with a tinge of iron and straw.Grassy and mild lemony notes on the palate with a dryer more crsip malt base,a decent toasted shot in the finish.Not anything earth shattering but not looking for that today,just lookin for an after work patio beer.

Feel: Light body with some carbonation. Crisp finish but only semi dry.
Overall: Decent lager. Better than most macros but not by much.

3.95/5 rDev +11.3%
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a tall pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy straw golden orange with a lot of bubbles. About two fingers of white head that fade into a thin creamy layer. Leaves a lot of lacing around the glass.
Smell: A bready and fairly earthy malt driven aroma with hints of biscuit and light fruit. Pale malts upfront with hints of grains, straw, biscuit, crackers, and yeast. Earthy European hops with hints of spice and grass. Citrus fruit hints of orange and lemon zest. A decent Euro style lager aroma.
Taste: Like the smell hints at, a bready and earthy malt forward taste with notes of bready grains and light fruit. Upfront pale malts with notes of grains, wheat, straw, crackers, biscuit, and lager yeast. Earthy and somewhat grassy European hops with some slight spice. Bright citrus notes of lemon zest and orange. A decent lager taste.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Crisp, clean, and smooth with a fairly drying finish.
Overall: A decent take on a Euro style lager. Good bready and citrusy taste.

Undated, recently purchased, 12 oz bottle served in a lager glass. Pours very light with a generous white head and lots of visible carbonation.
The carbonation is medium-high and feels surprisingly soft. Light body.
They must use a similar hop load to Heineken because it has a similar flavor profile, including a hint of skunk in the aroma and aftertaste. Aroma is also pilsner-like, with a stronger hop note than found in the flavor.
O: Aside from the feel, this is a remarkably average lager. Served its purpose, nonetheless. being thirst-quenching and refreshing on this first hot day of summer.

Appearance - Pours a touch hazy, pale yellow with a white, 1/2 finger head. Sub-par retention. Spotty touches of lace around the glass.
Smell - Subtle esters and a slight sourness.
Taste - Touches faintly on a bready malt character, hints of grain, then a ghostly mild lemon finish. Not much.
Mouthfeel - Is it possible to be lighter than water? Yes, yes it is. Virtually no carbonation. Bone dry, making it a bit of a chore to swallow. Maybe the worst body I've ever experienced with a beer.
Overall - Lagers are light in nature, but this is ridiculous. Boring, relatively flavorless and utterly disappointing. Sorry Ballast Point, this beer sucks.

Poured a straw pale yellow. very thin white head.
The smell is very light and a touch grassy.
The flavor is light and grainy with a touch of noble hops in the finish, a bit of citrus and fresh cut grass.
The mouthfeel is light with medium carbonation.
Nothing bad, but on the boring and bland side for a brewery as good as ballast point.

Poured from a growler into a pint glass.
Light gold color, quickly fading head. Smells like a cheap malt liquor like you'd find in a 40oz. Tastes like Miller Genuine Draft. My friend and I were really disappointed. Ending up making red beers from it since it was so awful. When I got home I ended up drain pouring it. Hate to give a beer from BP such a low mark but it really was awful. Pretty sure my growler was clean so I don't get it. Maybe I just have to stay away from this style.

Thanks to woodychandler for yet another canned beer. Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a yellow color with a 1 inch head. Smell is mild, some malts, a touch of sweetness to it. Taste is light and mild, malts, a bit of hops at the finish, not exactly bursting with flavor. Feels light in the mouth and overall is a mediocre beer.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle with part of the stamped number smudged off. #25...and #3784. Sampled on January 20, 2014.
It pours a hazy pale yellow-olive color with a full fizzy white head that settles back to a ring around the edge. Good carbonation.
The German influence is clearly evident in the aroma with those Euro-barley and grain malts, light toffee, herbs, and a slight citrus feel.
Light and creamy body.
Again, like the nose Ballast Point put some thought into brewing this to emulate the German style beer. The sweet biscuit malts are formidable as are the herbs and mildly hopped finish. This is a good true-to-style lager.

Clear pale gold with a huge white head and some lacing.

Taste is light euro hops with a good amount of malts.
Mouthfeel is just right for this style.
Overall an easy drinking lager with just enough flavor to put AALs to shame. Nice beer.

Very easy quilt kit. After the 2" squares are place on the grid, the quilt speaks to let you know the 2" squares need to be rearranged. The quilts calls to you to have a white center that gradually spreads out until the four corner are dark to frame the Virgin Mary and our Lord and Savior, Jesus. Beautiful wall hanging.

Hampus Lindholm scored his first NHL goal, Corey Perry got the tiebreaking goal right before the second-period buzzer, and the Anaheim Ducks stayed atop the league standings with a 5-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Wednesday night.
Ryan Getzlaf, Lindholm and Cam Fowler each had a goal and an assist in Anaheim's triumphant return from a successful eight-game road trip. With their sixth win in seven games, the Ducks (13-3-1) lead the NHL with 27 points.
Perry tipped home Lindholm's shot during a delayed penalty with 1.1 seconds left in the period, and Fowler provided a cushion with the second power-play goal of the night for the Ducks, whose NHL-worst power play had scored just four times all season.
Shane Doan scored and Michael Stone added a power-play goal for the Coyotes, who had won five straight.

Copper bracelets have been popularly used for over 30 years. There have been claims that the wearing of copper bracelets alleviates the symptoms of arthritis, rheumatism, tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Due to metallic properties of copper, slight blueish-green coloration may occur due to moisture.

Kara still going strong with Artem
12:22am Sunday 24th February 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Kara Tointon has revealed she is "really happy" with dancer boyfriend Artem Chigvintsev.
The former EastEnders actress, 29, met Artem, 31, when she competed in - and won - Strictly Come Dancing in 2010, and the pair split their time between their homes in London and Los Angeles.
Kara said: "Meeting Artem was fantastic. We're really happy and everything's going really well.
"I don't like saying too much more than that because I always think you jinx things if you talk about them too much. I just like to go with the flow and let life unfold..."
The actress - who is supporting Galaxy Quick Reads, which are aimed at encouraging more people to get into reading - is also excited about turning 30 this summer.
"I think it's an age where after kidding yourself you're still a teenager, you suddenly think, 'Hey, what happened? - that must mean I'm an adult'," she said.
"But I'm so happy to be in a place where I'm enjoying the work I'm doing, there's nothing better than that, and I feel comfortable in who I am."

East Lancs domestic abuse victims urged to speak out after murder (From Lancashire Telegraph)

East Lancs domestic abuse victims urged to speak out after murder
5:00pm Wednesday 2nd July 2014 in News By Hannah Al-Othman, Reporter
WOMEN in East Lancashire who are experiencing domestic abuse are being encouraged to seek help.
Councillors, MPs and domestic violence charities have urged women to come forward in aftermath of the murder of Cherylee Shennan in Rawtenstall earlier this year.
Paul O'Hara was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison on Monday after he killed Cherylee, 40, because he was afraid she had told police about how he had previously assaulted her.
O'Hara had only been out on life licence for 23 months, after serving 14 years behind bars for the murder of Janine Waterworth in 1998.
Rossendale and Darwen MP Jake Berry said: "There is no excuse for domestic violence and I would encourage every victim to come forward, to help tackle it here in East Lancashire.
"The recent case of Cherylee Shennan has brought the dangers of abusive partners into sharp focus, and I would urge all victims to seek help."
A spokeswoman for the STAR Centre in Rossendale said: "I would very much like to encourage anyone who think they might be experiencing domestic abuse to get in touch with their local service or phone the national helpline (0808 2000247). It is free advice and information and your call will be treated as confidential.
"There are services out there. You do not have to experience this alone and everyone has a right to live their life free of fear."
A spokeswoman for Harv, a domestic violence charity covering Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley, said: "Please don't be afraid to make contact. We can support you while you're in an abusive relationship or help you to leave. We understand how difficult it can be to pick up the phone to make that first contact — please be assured you will be treated with respect and sensitivity and most importantly listened to."
Following Cherylee's killing, questions have been asked of the Parole Board, over why O'Hara was freed and allowed to kill again.
The Ministry of Justice, which runs the Probation Service, said learning points had already been identified.
A spokesman said: "Our sympathies are with the victims and their families of this horrific attack. Public protection is our first priority and we are determined to have the best possible systems in place to supervise offenders in the community.
"Paul O'Hara alone is responsible for these shocking crimes and, as with any case involving a serious further offence, the National Probation Service has undertaken an investigation into the case."

Well reported Hannah, unfortunately all your sources said anyone suffering domestic abuse could seek help. Or do you believe its a girly thing?

There is no shame in standing up to a violent abuser. there is no shame in telling people the truth about a violent abuser. The shame is wholly in the hands of the abuser, not the victim.

BuckoTheMoose says...
If an innocent man is accused of rape, naming him can ruin his life. If victims came forward at the moment the assault happens, we wouldn't need to name names in rape trials until we were sure of the defendants guilt, but we seem happy to sacrifice mens live on the alter of 'helping victims'.
Women - If your partner abuses you, tell the police. Do it straight away. Don't wait 30 or 40 years for compensation to be available, don't wait until someone else makes a complaint and certainly don't lie to the police about the abuse, as the woman in this story did.
And once you've done that, don't reconcile with your abusive partner in the hope that he will change. Get out and stay out for good.

Casper's mum says...
We need to tell people to get help the first time they are a victim of domestic violence because there is no excuse for it and it is never a one off incident.

In an interview with The Times on the eve of the release of "Crimson Tide," Scott said: "The biggest edge I live on is directing. That's the most scary, dangerous thing you can do in your life." But he also saw a parallel with his passion for rock climbing: "The true strength of rock climbing is in the head, not the body.... It's controlling the fear as I do while I'm directing."
Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon. It flopped.
Based on the strength of a Saab commercial he directed that featured jets, Scott was hired by Bruckheimer and producer Don Simpson to direct 1986's "Top Gun," Epps said.
"He had the skill to photograph jet planes flying 400 miles per hour," Epps said. "It was pretty remarkable work. That movie became iconic because of choices he made, and it influenced the way other action movies were shot and edited."
"Top Gun," a profile of Navy fighter pilots, cemented Cruise as one of the industry's biggest stars. The film, which grossed a then-spectacular $354 million worldwide, transformed Scott into a Hollywood A-lister.
The next year, Scott directed Eddie Murphy in "Beverly Hills Cop II" and then went on to make the big-budget thrillers "Days of Thunder," "Crimson Tide," "Enemy of the State" and "Man on Fire," along with edgier fare such as "True Romance" and "Domino."
In an industry that considers most people older than 50 past their prime, Scott was inundated with assignments at the time of his death.
"He seemed like he always seemed: supportive and funny, but at the same time serious about the work," said composer Henry Gregson-Williams, who collaborated with Scott on eight films, the last being 2010's "Unstoppable," and spoke with the director about three months ago. "Tony was always juggling lots of projects.
Tony Scott: An article in the Aug. 21 Section A about the death of Tony Scott gave the first name of composer Harry Gregson-Williams as Henry.
"Tony was always an adventurer," he said. "He was fiercely loyal. And he was very sensitive. Looking at his films, you might not think that. But he was an incredibly sweet, sensitive man."
Scott's most recent television commercial was for Diet Mountain Dew, released this month. It featured Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban trying to tempt a Diet Dew fan with riches, including a speedboat and a helicopter, if he would just give him the last bottle of the soda at a mini-mart. Scott also directed commercials for BMW, Dodge, Italia Telecom, Marlboro, theU.S. Army and Barclays Bank.
"I feel blessed to have known and worked with Tony," said cinematographer Paul Cameron, who shot Scott's "Man on Fire" and "Deja Vu." "He was way beyond a mentor to me. He was by far the most gracious, talented and hard-working man I have ever met."
"In person, Tony was a real man on fire," said Tom Rothman, a chairman of 20th Century Fox, which made a number of Scott's films, including "Unstoppable." "He had indefatigable energy and a burning creative energy. As good a filmmaker as he was, he was a better person. You never had a meeting with Tony that wasn't funny, that wasn't followed up by some handwritten note he would send to you."
Divers took hours to find Scott's body

Don't try to convince Gary Stevens that money doesn't make the mare go. In a race-riding career spanning more than three decades, including seven years off for retirement, if there's one thing he's learned, it's that when big money's on the line, it's a whole new ball game. Such is the case Saturday, when Stevens, who turns 50 in five days, rides Called to Serve in the $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap.
"I don't know what it is," said Stevens, who hits the mid-century mark on March 6. "It's those dollar signs with all the zeroes behind the prize money. Then, all the rules change. I figured that out when I came down here and I was riding with Shoe and all those guys.
"I said, 'These guys don't do anything different from what I do,' and then I rode in my first big race with them. Everything got tighter and Delahoussaye forgot who his friends were."
That's life in the fast lane, and it doesn't change whether you're 15 or 50. On the race track, there are no perks for senior citizens.
"Did I give any thought when I started out that I'd still be doing this?" Stevens asked rhetorically when queried about joining the likes of fellow superstars Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley at 50 this year.
"Heck, no. They used to laugh at me. I was 28 years old and in the shower after a bad day and I told Shoemaker, 'Three more years. I'm retiring.' He laughed at me. But I'm happy right now.
"I was talking to my brother (52-year-old jockey Scott, currently second-leading rider at Turf Paradise) yesterday and he said, 'These guys keep asking me when I'm going to retire.' He said, 'I am retired. I just go horse back riding instead of fishing and I get paid for it.'"
Not much of a stretch to say that's how Gary feels these days. Must be in the genes.
In other Big 'Cap news:
For a trainer who seems to "live on the rail" in post position draws, Bob Baffert was delighted to have his two runners, favored Game On Dude and 6-1 morning line chance Guilt Trip, draw outside posts.
Game On Dude, the morning line choice at 6-5, has post position nine in a field of 10, while Guilt Trip, winner of the Strub Stakes at 1 1/8 miles, drew No. 10.
"I really, really like that," Baffert said of the two outside stalls. "That was a good draw for me. Perfect. I didn't want to be stuck in the one hole.
"It's good for Game On Dude, but you know what? There are some good horses in there. Guilt Trip is going to have to step way up."
Mike Smith had a more ambivalent attitude when it came to the No. 9 post for Game On Dude, on whom he is unbeaten in two rides.
"It all depends," the Hall of Fame rider said. "Sometimes good posts are bad and bad posts turn out to be good ones. But being outside gives you an option . . . He's a forwardly placed horse anyway. He's going to go quick out of there whether somebody's going quick with him or not.
"That's kind of him. I'm just glad we're in the race and he's doing well."
Among the "good" horses Baffert referred to is Ron the Greek, winner of last year's Big 'Cap who seeks to become only the fourth back-to-back winner of the race in its storied 76-year history. He would join Lava Man, Milwaukee Brew and John Henry.
Saturday's race also marks the first time two former Santa Anita Handicap winners will meet each other in the race, Game On Dude having won it in 2011.
Julien Leparoux says the bobble at the break by Stephanoatsee in the Strub Stakes in which he finished an onrushing second wasn't that big of a deal. "The stumble didn't hurt him too much," Leparoux said. "The pace was pretty good that day. Stumbling didn't help him, obviously, but it didn't bother him too much.
"He went four wide because he's a big horse with a long stride, and when he gets going, you don't want to get him stopped, because it would take a lot of time to get him going again.
"That's why I decided to go around horses. I think the extra eighth of a mile will be great for him. He's not going to get tired, that's for sure."
The field for the Grade I Santa Anita Handicap at 1 ¼ miles presented by San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino, the 10th of 11 races: Ron the Greek, Jose Lezcano, 5-2; Handsome Mike, Mario Gutierrez, 20-1; Deacon Speakin', Martin Pedroza, 50-1; Called to Serve, Gary Stevens, 6-1; Clubhouse Ride, Rafael Bejarano, 30-1; Richard's Kid, Tyler Baze, 12-1; John Scott, Martin Garcia, 20-1; Stephanoatsee, Julien Leparoux, 8-1; Game On Dude, Mike Smith, 6-5; and Guilt Trip, Joe Talamo, 6-1.
Santa Anita presents three Grade I races Saturday. Fans on track will receive free an attractive Santa Anita tote bag with paid admission while supplies last.
Festivities include popular premium Food Trucks, a KROQ concert featuring Youngblood Hawke, a microbrew and craft beer presentation and a $400,000 guaranteed late Pick 4 presented by Daily Racing Form.
First post time is 12 noon. Gates open at 10 a.m.
Ron the Greek will break from post position No. 1 in Saturday's Santa Anita Handicap. But Jon White, who makes Santa Anita's morning line and provides television commentary from the paddock for the track's simulcast network, has made the observation that Big 'Cap victories from that post position have been few and far between.
"In the 75-year history of the Santa Anita Handicap, there have been only two winners from the inside post," White said. "That is a stat that is pretty surprising, I think. You sure would think there would have been a lot more winners than that from the inside post. The only two to do it were Mr. Right in 1968 and Malek in 1998. And keep in mind that when Malek won the Big 'Cap, it was only a four-horse field."
Ron the Greek won the Big 'Cap last year after breaking from post position No. 3.
White has installed Game On Dude the 6-5 morning-line favorite for the Big 'Cap, with Ron the Greek second choice at 5-2. Game On Dude has drawn post position No. 9.
"And it's been a long time since there's been a Big 'Cap winner from post 9," White said. "The last horse to win it from post 9 was Royal Glint in 1976."
There have been three other Big 'Cap winners to start from post position No. 9: Bay View in 1941, Round Table in 1958 and Quicken Tree in 1970.
Game On Dude began from post position No. 11 when he won the 2011 Big 'Cap.
Fed Biz makes his first start on turf when the 4-year-old Giant's Causeway colt runs in Saturday's Grade I Frank E. Kilroe Mile.
"It's sort of an experiment," Bob Baffert said. "Mike Smith said that he likes it."
Fed Biz worked four furlongs on Santa Anita's firm grass course in 48 2/5 last Saturday. Owned by Kaleem Shah, Inc., Fed Biz has four wins from nine career starts, among them the Grade II San Fernando Stakes with Smith up on Santa Anita's conventional dirt track Jan. 12.
The field for the Kilroe: Silentio, Rafael Bejarano, 9-2; Fed Biz, Mike Smith, 9-2; Suggestive Boy, Joe Talamo, 5-2; Vagabond Shoes, Martin Garcia, 12-1; Akkadian, Garrett Gomez, 8-1; supplemental nominee Forest Mouse, Ry Eikleberry, 15-1; Wilkinson, Martin Pedroza, 9-2; and Mr. Commons, Corey Nakatani, 3-1.
Joe Talamo is back on Speedinthruthecity in tomorrow's Grade I Las Virgenes Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at one mile. Santa Anita's fourth-leading rider was aboard the City Zip miss in her first four starts, winning first out, finishing second twice and third by a head at Del Mar last Sept. 3.
"She's a real nice filly,' Talamo said. "She ran second to Executiveprivilege, which is almost like winning. I know she hasn't run in a long time but her works look good and I see they took the blinkers off.
"Obviously, Steve (trainer Steve Asmussen) knows what he's doing. I know they must be pretty high on her to run her in this race, but she's a real classy filly and real good to ride."
Owned by Winchell Thoroughbreds LLC, Speedinthruthecity finished last by 57 ¼ lengths in the Grade I Alcibiades in her most recent race, last Oct. 5 on Keeneland's Polytrack.
The field for the Las Virgenes: Ridingwiththedeveil, Gary Stevens, 30-1; Fiftyshadesofhay, Rafael Bejarano, 5-2; Lady Asano, Jose Lezcano, 15-1; Speedinthruthecity, Joe Talamo, 12-1; Beholder, Garrett Gomez, 6-5; Scarlet Strike, Mike Smith, 6-1; Renee's Titan, Tyler Baze, 6-1; and Heir Kitty, Julien Leparoux, 6-1.
Lou Raffetto has resigned as President of the Thoroughbred Owners of California, expressing a desire to pursue other avenues in the Thoroughbred racing industry, according to a release issued Friday. "TOC wants to express its gratitude for Lou's service, particularly during some trying times for the organization. We wish him all the best and success in his future endeavors."
TOC is the official organization serving new, veteran and future Thoroughbred owners in the state. It represents, advances, and protects owners' interests and rights in legislative, administrative and business matters.
FINISH LINES: Dennis O'Neill reports that Sham Stakes winner Goldencents is scheduled to work six furlongs Saturday morning in his final major breeze for the Grade II San Felipe Stakes on March 9 . . . Richard Mandella said that Malibu Stakes winner Jimmy Creed, who worked four furlongs Monday in 48.20, is a candidate for the Grade II Potrero Grande Stakes at 6 ½ furlongs on Santa Anita Derby Day, April 6 . . . Agent Tony Matos reports that Santa Anita's third-leading rider Garrett Gomez rides Hollywood Starlet winner Pure Fun for trainer Ken McPeek in the Grade III Bourbonette Oaks and Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes runner-up Frac Daddy, also for McPeek, in the Grade III, $500,000 Spiral Stakes, both at Turfway Park, on March 23. Alonso Quinonez, also represented by Matos, rides Just Win Baby for trainer Oscar Garcia in the $800,000 Sunland Derby in New Mexico on March 24. A Florida-bred son of The Daddy owned by Greg Norman, Just Win Baby registered a $59.60 upset in Thursday's second race at Santa Anita in his second start . . . With 576 players picking 1-2 favorite Ubelongtomemissy to finish at least third (she ran second) in yesterday's third race, 1,081 advanced to Friday's round in ShowVivor II.

We launch in August - if you help us!
Our new on-line peer support service for children in separating families is about to be launched!
It will be the best on-line support for children in separating families anywhere in the world!
We need your help right now to get us to the finishing line. Bethan (11) and Jacob (9) are leading the campaign to raise the £13,000 we still need!
Please, please donate!
Or donate by text! Text "BEOJ47 £10" to 70070.
(You can choose a different amount when you text.)
250,000 children experience the separation of their parents every year and three on-line services for them have closed in the last three years. Children, young people, family lawyers, mediators and barristers have joined forces in a national fund-raising campaign. They really understand what family separation means for children.
Please donate and be part of this wonderful new crowd-funded resource! This is going to be the best on-line support for kids in the middle in the world!
(If you are a larger law firm and reckon you could raise £1000 between all the lawyers and your other staff for Kids in the Middle, then please consider being permanently recognised as a "Partner" in Kids in the Middle - more details here.)
What will KidsintheMiddle.org.uk do?
These are some of the design concepts for the home page, which in August will replace what you see here now.
The site will have videos of young people talking about family separation. We will be appealing to young people to make their own videos to show on the site so that kids in the middle finally have a voice.
The new website will have three messages to children in the middle of it:
- it's not your fault
- you are not alone
- it's OK to get help
On the site young people can go further and seek conversation with their peers, peer mentoring and counselling. We have partnered with Mindfull.org and ChildLine to provide these services and we are training special Kids in the Middle peer mentors ready for August.

The people's lawyer, political prisoner Lynne Stewart: an interview wit' her daughter, Brenna Stewart
Three critical events July 8, 14 and 15 need your support – details below
by Minister of Information JR
Lynne Stewart has been a real people's lawyer for over four decades, representing some of the most politically polarizing cases in this nation's history. She has been of legal service to people like Black political prisoner Sekou Odinga of the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army, former government drug dealer Larry Davis, who ended up shooting multiple members of the NYPD who came to kill him after he wanted to quit selling drugs, and many others.
Her current conviction, which the Bush regime used to push the Patriot Act, deals with her representation of the blind sheik the U.S. government accused of trying to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993. Within the next few days, she is set to be re-sentenced. We want all of our readers to know and assist in any way that they can People's Lawyer Lynne Stewart, who is a modern-day legal John Brown.
M.O.I. JR: Can you give a little bit of history about your mother's legal career? Who are some of the high profile people that she has represented?
Brenna Stewart: Lynne Stewart has had a long legal career. In the mid '70s she graduated from law school and did Brinks, Anti SpringBok, Richard Levasseur – the New Jersey trooper shooting – and Larry Davis criminal defense work. She did state and federal drug cases, murder trials etc.
M.O.I. JR: How has the government responded to Lynne Stewart representing these people?
Brenna Stewart: Not well, they hate getting beat. They don't mind if someone has politics but isn't such a great lawyer. They hate it when the lawyer is good and she has good politics.
M.O.I. JR: Can you give us the history on this case that she is currently wrongfully being held captive for?
Brenna Stewart: Easier to get this in detail from the website www.lynnestewart.org. In a few words she represented the sheik in the first World Trade Center bombing and as a result of that and many years later post- 9/11, the Bush administration made her a scapegoat and used the case against her to further the Patriot Act and to stop lawyers from representing unpopular clients – political clients, especially Muslims.
M.O.I. JR: She has recently been battling cancer. How is her health?
Brenna Stewart: She is in as good health as possible for a 70-year-old in jail. Two biopsies ruled out active cancer. Of course that doesn't mean it won't return, but there is nothing now of great concern.
M.O.I. JR: Can you explain the conditions she is being forced to live in while in prison?
Brenna Stewart: Typical prison conditions, but she's 70, so worse. She rarely goes outdoors for recreation; they have terrible horrible food; the TV is always on some Jerry Springer type ish. There are many sad cases of women in there with her – the same peeps she used to represent – and it breaks her heart every day.
The worst part of it is the deprivation of friends and family and arbitrary and capricious treatment. For example, they take her to hospital for tests only on the one day of the week she has a family visit. It has happened two or three times. Her hands and feet are shackled to and from and at the hospital. The police raid rooms in which more than four books is "contraband." They implement strip searches, and more.
M.O.I. JR: What is it that people can do to support the people's lawyer, Lynne Stewart?
Brenna Stewart: Come out to the three events here in New York. If you can't support in body, support in spirit.
1) Thursday, July 8, 6-10 p.m. Fundraiser at Judson Memorial Church, 55 Washington Square So., New York. Speakers: Ramsey Clark, Ward Churchill, Fred Hampton Jr., Ralph Schoenman and many more. Suggested donation $20.

Justice is justice, Lynn Steward was convicted of passing on information form a convicted mass murderer to a terrrorist intent on using such information to murder more all of us. This is called treason.__Special free get out of jail passes cannot be handed out justly to someone because he or she is "on" of you. If my own father whom I respect and care for hurts someone or breaks the law, I still beleive he should pay the consequences.↓
Stop the murder of Africans by muslims NOW>!!!↓
Berkeley Karen
I am delighted to learn the news of Ms. Stewart's 10 year sentence. It's gratifying when the system works.↓
I cannot believe you ignorant people! This is a serious miscarriage of justice. You people don't know the facts. Lynne Stewart had been a champion lawyer fighting for downtrodden people. You folks could be downtrodden one day — and in severe trouble. And you'll cry for a Lynne Stewart to come save you. But you'll be too late. SHAME ONE ALL OF YOU!! You are so ignorant it's disgusting.↓
Dan19al- savant, does fighting for downtrodden people give you the moral and legal licence to commit a crime?
Cure tge rabid anger so apparent in your comment and free yourself from yhr propaganda which has left you incapable of making sound assertions,
Wake up and save the downtrodden millions of Africa from the murdering jihadists,↓
"Wake up and save the downtrodden millions of Africa from the murdering jihadists." What on earth are you talking about?↓
Some people asked what Africans are beting killed by Muslims/Jihadis… how about in Sudan for starters?
Thank God this man-ish looking traitor is being locked up for a decade. Hopefully she wont make it back out↓

I think the in the minds of the Bay View's editorial board, the only truly just system would be one where only white people went to jail (except for white people who blacks like, such as Lynne Stewart). I have never seen a single article where it was accepted as just when a black was given a jail sentence. Even drug dealers or murderers are only viewed as accessories, put up to it by the White Man. Let me tell you that in my 24 years as an African-American member of the NYPD there are many cases where I have seen African-American men commit crimes without a white pulling the strings. I have seen many blacks who actually received preferential treatment when arrested because of a fear of discrimination lawsuits. If we arrested a white under similar circumstances, he often would receive inferior treatment, because there are no laws that give whites special protection. That is true racism, laws that protect one ethnic group at the expense of another. The absurd perspective that this paper gives about every single arrest is designed to ferment racism. Not the racism of whites oppressing blacks, but the racism of blacks hating whites and blaming them for all their problems. I've met a total of seven racist whites in my line of duty. But the racism that I've seen among blacks is so pervasive that it truly makes me feel sad and ashamed. I know that I'll be called an "Uncle Tom" or a race traitor for this, but let me assure you, I am as black and proud of it as MLK. In my line of duty, I, and my white colleagues too, are not out to oppress anyone. We are out to protect the citizens of New York, regardless of skin color. We are living Martin Luther King's dream.↓

The Athletics and Recreation Department held its annual All Sports Banquet, honoring various teams and players, as well as retiring Director John Harper.
"I was touched and surprised about all of it," Mr. Harper said of the tributes and accolades that were heard throughout the program. "I want you to know how lucky I have been to have had all of you as colleagues and friends over the years."
Along with the presentation of a special gift, the university named the Athlete of the Year Award of Mr. Harper. "It is an awesome gesture and I will be forever grateful," he said.
Mr. Harper has been director of Athletics and Recreation since 1991, overseeing unprecedented growth of facilities and all facets of 21 men's and women's varsity programs, intramurals, club sports and general campus recreation. He will leave his post effective July 31. Attending the banquet was Mr. Harper's wife, Ann, son, Jonathan, and grandchildren, Clayton and Skyler. (His son Jason was unable to attend.)
President Dana Mohler-Faria was on hand to present the John C. Harper Award to standouts Shelly DePina (basketball) and Corey Batista (baseball).
Other major award winners were Scholar Athlete of the Year, Michaela Ferreira (softball), Sarah Lagasse (cross country/track), Corey Ryser (basketball); Rookie of the Year, Alana Watkins (basketball) and Blaise Branch (football); Lee Harrington Unsung Hero Award, Erin Quimby (lacrosse) and Jeff Sousa (cross country/track); Athletic Trainer of the Year, Matthew Chatham (undergraduate) and Jose Alvarez (graduate); and the Student-Athlete Leadership Award, Carrie Robitaille (soccer/track and field) and Andrew Corley (track and field).
Also honored were more than 170 student-athletes who maintained a GPA of 3.3 or greater, as well as the 2011-12 team captains and senior student-athletes/trainers.
Senior Danielle Nadeua earned the Award of Appreciation for her work with Mike Donovan, home events coordinator. She assists in the overseeing of the scoreboards, field set up, sideline workers, PA announcers and more.
Also in attendance were President Emerita Adrian Tinsley, who presented the award for scholar-athletes that bears her name; BSU Trustee Chairman Louis Ricciardi, '81; and Mary Lou Thornburg, vice chair of the BSU Foundation.

Town Square
Equal Rights? Fine, as long as they agree with me!
Original post made by Paly Parent on Mar 22, 2013
If the John Doe family want to build a community center for the people in town it is only an acceptable gift if they agree with everything I agree with.
If John Doe and his family are NRA members, or if they give to their religious charities, or if they give to the wrong political party, or they support they wrong football/baseball/basketball team, then their gift to the community is tainted and we should not accept it.
It seems also that the Weekly does not like us having opinions that are deeply divisive so they stop us talking openly about it.
It seems as if America is the land of the free with freedom of speech and open democracy are only acceptable when they agree with the pc police.
Last time I checked, we are living in a free country, we are allowed to have whatever political points of view we agree with, we are allowed to vote for whomever we like and we are allowed to put our money behind whatever cause with which we agree.
If NRA membership, religious pursuasion and political alliances are no longer acceptable then I can't see that this country is free thinking any longer.
As long as there is a freedom which doesn't break any law then there is freedom. Once that is taken away we are turning into a Soviet style machine.

As Voltaire said "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. Voltaire ...
on Mar 22, 2013 at 2:21 pm
There seem to be many people in Palo Alto, some of them who post on this forum, who will not allow free speech to those who disagree with them or have a differing perspective due to differing experiences of their own. Every family has its own individual culture, which makes for a lot of culture clashes on top of the ones related to national, regional, or racial culture. There is also a lot of classism here, which I have been shocked to find out, and the uppermost classes do not want to hear what the middle classes have to say and often try to suppress it by naysaying everything without thinking it through.

Tolerance works both ways. Sometimes it means respecting an opinion that is different from your own.
Someone who voted republican is not a racist, just disagrees with Obama's political agenda.
Someone who supports Prop 8, is not a bigot or gay hater, just someone who respects gay people to have their own lifestyle and civil unions, just prefers to keep the definition of marriage as an institution between one man and one woman.
Someone who is prolife, is someone who respects the life of the unborn as much as the life of the born.
Someone who is catholic is not a supporter of priests abusing minors.
Someone who is a meat eater is not a supporter of the inhumane treatment of animals.
Someone who supports the NRA is not a trigger happy vigilantes.
Someone who does not agree with you is not a hater, or a bad person, or some other label. They are just someone who has a different opinion. Being tolerant means respecting differences of opinions. Being an American in the Land of the Free means exactly that.

A device normally used to track down stolen cars helped locate a lost man with a medical condition.
John Adams, 57, left his Beaverton home on Wednesday afternoon, but never found his way home.
It wasn't until hours later that police were able to track him in down in northwest Portland.
A quick trip for food turned into a seven-hour trip after Adams got lost around town.
"He has no idea what happened," said Cindy Adams, John's wife.
John Adams wasn't supposed to be driving, but jumped in his car and drove off about 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
His family didn't see him again until police tracked him down nearly 10 miles away.
"I mean, he's only 57 years old, so to have to take away his independence is really hard for him," said Cindy Adams.
She says her husband has been having trouble remembering things.
Along with being a diabetic, he needs dialysis, and now she thinks he might be dealing with the early on-set of dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
"His confusion has only been going on for maybe the last three weeks, maybe four. So it's been something really sudden," added Cindy Adams.
She believes her husband may have been driving around for nearly six hours on Wednesday.
When he never came home, his daughters contacted police, telling them their dad's car was equipped with the Lojack System.
"They were able to locate where the car was because he didn't have a cell phone on him, so there was no other tracking devices for him," said Cindy Adams.
On its website, Lojack touts itself as the only stolen vehicle recovery system that works directly with the police.
Officers have equipment in their cruisers that allow them to track that signal. That's how officers eventually found John at Northwest Third and Glisan where he was parked on the MAX tracks, unsure of where he was and where he was going.
"He could have been out there anywhere, so I'm thankful that we had Lojack because that was a real help, because honestly I would have never guessed that he would have been downtown," added Cindy Adams.
John Adams was fine when paramedics checked him out, but now his family is taking him to a specialist to figure out what he might be suffering from and get him the help he needs.
