It's easy to underestimate how early underage drinking starts — sometimes even in the preteen years — as well as the amount of alcohol teens drink and the risks involved. Still, underage drinking isn't inevitable. You can encourage your teen to avoid alcohol by talking to him or her about the risks of underage drinking and the importance of making good decisions.
Teens are particularly vulnerable to alcohol use. The physical changes of puberty might make your teen feel self-conscious and more likely to take risks — such as experiment with alcohol — to fit in or please others. Also, your teen might have trouble understanding that his or her actions can have adverse consequences. Common risk factors for underage drinking include:
Whatever causes a teen to drink, the consequences may be the same. For example, underage drinking can lead to:
In addition, research shows that alcohol use may permanently distort a teen's emotional and intellectual development.
It can be tough to talk to your teen about underage drinking. You might be unsure of what to say, and your teen might try to dodge the conversation. To increase your odds of having a meaningful discussion, choose a time when you and your teen are relaxed. Don't worry about covering everything at once. If you talk often, you might have a greater impact on your teen than if you have only a single discussion.
When you talk about underage drinking, you might:
In addition to talking to your teen, consider other strategies to prevent underage drinking:
If you suspect that your teen has been drinking — you've noticed mood changes or behavior problems, for example, or your teen has red or glazed eyes or unusual health complaints — talk to him or her. Enforce the consequences you've established so that your teen understands that using alcohol will always result in a loss of privileges.
If you think your teen might have a drinking problem, contact your teen's doctor or a counselor or other health care provider who specializes in alcohol problems. Teens who have alcohol problems aren't likely to realize it — or seek help — on their own.
Remember, it's never too soon to start talking to your teen about underage alcohol use. By broaching the topic, you'll help give your teen the guidance and support necessary to make good choices.

Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council recognizes Cy-Fair volunteers
Cy-Fair, Texas (May 31, 2012) – Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council (GSSJC) recently honored Cy-Fair-area volunteers Kelly George, Debra Lewis, Dawn Donaldson, Terri Modgling, Ellen Haynie, Brenda Zimmerman, Alanna Zarosky and Randi and Tony Lewis as well as the Sunflower, Wildwood, Hummingbird Way and White Oak Service Units for their contributions to Girl Scouting.
"At 100 years old, I am often asked what has helped our organization endure over time," said GSSJC CEO Mary Vitek. "I believe the secret to our success is our volunteers. Volunteers represent 99 percent of the adult membership in Girl Scouts, and they work tirelessly to build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place today and will, one day, become the future women leaders of our nation. We are proud to have these volunteers leading our young ladies into the next century of Girl Scouting."
Kelly George received the Honor Pin, given to the candidate that has provided outstanding service in two or more geographic areas or program delivery audiences in a way that furthers the Council's goals. George was given the award for her role as volunteer chair for the 2001 Girl Scout Leadership Institute, held in November 2011 in conjunction with the 52nd National Convention.
Terri Modgling received the Key Award, GSSJC's own award instituted in 2006 given to a candidate that has given distinguished service to girls and adults in GSSJC. Modgling received the award for her role in planning and executing the Council's role in the 52nd National Convention, held in Houston in November 2011.
Debra Lewis, Dawn Donaldson, Ellen Haynie, Brenda Zimmerman and Alanna Zarosky all received the Appreciation Pin, a national award given to a candidate that has provided outstanding service to a geographic area or program delivery audience in a way that furthers the Council's goals.
Randi and Tony Lewis received the Family Award, GSSJC's own recognition given to adult family members who have contributed above and beyond the expectations of the positions they hold. Randi and Tony were given the award for their work with White Oak Service Unit, the Mariner program and more.
Finally Sunflower, Wildwood, Hummingbird Way and White Oak Service Units, all located in the Cy-Fair area, each received the President's Award. This award recognizes the service unit who meets 10 criteria points and recognizes the efforts of a geographic area or program delivery team in moving its area toward achievement of the Council's goals during a fiscal membership year.
GSSJC congratulates these volunteers and service units on their contributions to Girl Scouting as the organization enters its second century of girl leadership.

This is how these things start. B.J. Penn cracks opens the door by publicly waffling. The UFC catches winds of it and sends Josh Koscheck to try and stir something up. The first public call-out hits, and just like that, the wheels are in motion.
By then it doesn't matter when Penn rejects the challenge, because how much can a rejection matter when it's that half-hearted and waffley? So with an open invitation, 22-year-old ultra-prospect Rory MacDonald (aka, one of Penn's rival's closest friends) comes along and sweetens the pot.
"There's a guy that I want to fight before he leaves the sport, and that's B.J. Penn," MacDonald slyly declared on yesterday's The MMA Hour. "That's a guy I really want to fight. I respect him a lot. He's a legend and I think it'd be a really good matchup for me to have that fight in Toronto.
"So we'll see if he accepts."
Well, if we're being realistic with ourselves, he probably won't accept. But that's not the part that matters. What matters is that this could potentially be another checkpoint in the race that will inevitably bring Penn back from vacation. Every time we hear from him, which is almost weekly at this point, he sounds less and less like a man who's done, and more and more like a man who'd be inclined to jump back into the fray if the offer was sweet enough.
MacDonald probably isn't that offer, because chiefly among a long list of reasons, Penn doesn't strike me as the type to come back just to be a gatekeeper. But that offer could be coming sometime soon, and with both welterweight and lightweight overflowing with names and contenders, the Hawaiian may find himself with a hell of a marquee on his hands when it does.
Rory MacDonald wants to fight B.J. Penn. Up-and-coming welterweight star Rory MacDonald called out former champ B.J. Penn on Monday's episode of The MMA Hour, issuing a challenge to the legend for the UFC's September 22 Toronto card.
UFC roster cuts. TUF winner Efrain Escudero, former WEC champ Steve Cantwell, and Dongi Yang, Jeff Curran and Kamal Shalorus were among the 10 fighters to be released from the UFC after having their profiles removed from UFC.com.
The MMA hour. Ariel Helwani and The MMA Hour are back with another jam-packed show, featuring a lineup of Mike Chiesa, Kenny Florian, Rory MacDonald, Patrick Cote and Nate Marquardt.
UFC, EA partnership. In a surprise move, the UFC announced a partnership with old rival EA Sports to develop a new UFC video game series at the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
TUF Live Finale salaries, suspensions. In the aftermath of Friday's UFC event, The Ultimate Fighter Live Finale, the Nevada State Athletic Commission released official listings of fighter salaries and medical suspensions.
If you have no idea what the heck an EA is, and haven't touched a video game since E.T. for the Atari 2600, then just think of it this way: If THQ = Spike TV, then EA Sports = FOX. Hence, you can understand Dana White's excitement at E3.
The back catalog of DREAM is littered with classics, so after all the bad news, it seems fitting to look back at Shinya Aoki gruesomely snapping an arm then prancing around flipping the bird to everyone within 500 feet. (Props to reader @mma_fan1 for the find, via CagePotato.)
Remember not too long ago when we brought you Anderson Silva's Steven Seagal showdown? Now its blooper reel has been released, and, well, here's Anderson Silva jumping around pretending to be Uma Thurman.
Check out a heap of pros predicting the winner of Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin III, if only to hear Dan Hardy's pronunciation of "Tito," which is probably the greatest thing ever. (HT: MMA Mania)

Today's Fanpost of the Day sees dpk875 try to dispel some of the misconceptions you may have about 145: Featherweight - A Division for the Next Decade
A few weeks ago I wrote "Light-Heavyweight - A Pending Crisis" that detailed how the UFC LHW division is aging rapidly, and there are not many young prospects emerging to fill the void. Now I want to focus a division that I feel is going to provide some of the most excitement over the next five to ten years, Featherweight.
Overall Depth:
Basically, "this ain't your Daddy's WEC", the Current UFC Featherweight division has over 50 fighters and is only behind Welterweight, and Lightweight when it comes to quantity of fighters. But it is not just the quantity, it is the young talent either in their prime, or quickly approaching it. Where the UFC Light-Heavyweight division only has five fighters under the age of 30 in the whole division, 8 of the top 10 Featherweights in UFC are under the age 30 (Aldo, Hioki, Mendes, TKZ, Poirier, Koch, Nunes, and Bartimus) and more talent is coming, but we will look at that in a minute.
Elite Champion:
The Champion Jose Aldo is 25 years old, and a dynamic force with an amazing highlight reel of finishes, and fights. He is listed in the top 5 of every Pound for Pound list, and does not seem to be slowing down. Despite his level of dominance, he is not going to run out of challengers anytime soon. There are the constant rumors that he will move up to Lightweight, and I would not be surprised if he does, but this division will still be just fine even if he moves.
Serious challengers:
There is currently a growing line for title shots, with Eirk Koch standing at the head of the line. He may have jumped over a few people to get the title shot, due to timing, but he will certainly put on an exciting fight while it last. Chan Sung Jung (The Korean Zombie) is next in line. He has made tremendous strides over his last three fights to put himself in this position, and his win over Dustin Poirier was a brilliant performance on the feet, and ground. Standing behind him is the man who actually turned down a title shot to get one more fight in, and long considered the second best Featherweight in the world, Hatsu Hioki.

Thread: Vikings Eye New Option..
Vikings Eye New Option..
Vikings Eye New Option
Date: Mar 18, 2006
Even while the Vikings wait on a decision with their offer sheet to Seattle guard Steve Hutchinson, they are turning their attention back to other positions.
The Vikings have already lost out on some free agent candidates while waiting for a decision on a seven-year, $49 million offer sheet they signed with Seattle transition guard Steve Hutchinson.
The $13 million cap hit that Hutchinson would require in 2006 is a major factor in how aggressive the Vikings have been in the last week and how aggressive they could be in pursuing other positions in the coming weeks.
They weren't willing to dispense a $3 million signing bonus for 35-year-old fullback William Henderson after both sides agreed he would be a good fit for the Vikings. The two sides met on Wednesday, but Friday Henderson re-signed with the Green Bay Packers.
That has the Vikings eyeing up Kansas City fullback Tony Richardson.
The 34-year-old Richardson has played his entire 11-year career in Kansas City.
His first four years in the league didn't yield much action, but in 1999 he became a full-time starter and began to carry the ball more, rushing more than 60 times in each of the next four seasons. However, since 2002, Richardson has been used mainly as a blocker in the Chiefs offense, clearing the way for record-setting running back Priest Holmes and last year Larry Johnson.
Richardson has gained 1,576 yards on 395 carries with 15 touchdowns and 118 first downs. He has started 96 of the 163 games in which he has played.
The 6-foot-1, 238-pounder is also a decent receiver, but has been limited in that role in the last four years. He has 1,298 yards receiving on 177 catches (7.3-yard average), nine touchdowns and 56 first downs in his career.
Richardson would offer a little better rushing threat than Henderson, but Henderson might be the better pass-catcher and is about 25 pounds heavier than Richardson. While Henderson has about twice as many receiving yards in his career, Richardson has more than three times the rushing yards of Henderson.
Either way, the main role for the Vikings fullback is expected to be blocking for running back Chester Taylor and others and protecting the quarterback.
For the first time in years, Vikings will use a fullback in their new offensive scheme and already signed street free agent Joey Goodspeed last month.
New England Patriots free agent guard Stephan Neal is visiting with Buffalo today. Neal visited with the Vikings earlier this week and would be of interest to them if Seattle is able to match the offer sheet for Hutchinson.
According to a league source, Vikings tackle Mike Rosenthal is close to agreeing to a restructured deal with the team.
The Vikings had an interest in unrestricted free agent quarterback Gus Frerrotte, who was released by the Dolphins on Tuesday when they acquired Daunte Culpepper. However, Scott Linehan and the St. Louis Rams beat the Vikings to the punch.
"Gus will be our backup quarterback," Linehan said. "Having coached him for the past three years, he has great knowledge of our system. He was 12-6 as a starter for me as offensive coordinator, and he'll be a great asset for (starting QB) Marc (Bulger), as well as our team, because of his background and experience.
Another backup quarterback went off the market when the New York Jets acquired quarterback Patrick Ramsey from the Washington Redskins in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. Ramsey, 6-3, 225 pounds, was a first-round selection by Washington in 2002 out of Tulane University and joins the Jets after spending four seasons with the Redskins. The four-year NFL veteran has completed 480 of 861 pass attempts for 5,649 yards while tossing 34 touchdowns against 29 interceptions and recorded a passer rating of 75.0 in 34 NFL games.
Despite speculation prior to free agency that the Vikings would pursue Philadelphia free agent right tackle Jon Runyan, the team has shown no interest in him to date.
The Vikings might still need to bolster their depth at cornerback behind Antoine Winfield and Fred Smoot, but another solid nickel back option, Pittsburgh's Deshea Townsend, went off the board on Friday. Townsend signed a four-year deal with the Steelers. He had been an unrestricted free agent.
The Vikings have also been looking for a strong safety in free agency, but the best left on the market, Lawyer Milloy, signed a three-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons on Friday. Milloy, 6-0 and 190 pounds, is a four-time Pro Bowler who has started 149 of 155 games since being drafted in the second round of the 1996 draft by the New England Patriots. He has been a part of two Super Bowl teams (1996 and 2001) as a member of the New England Patriots, which includes a Super Bowl XXXVI 20-17 victory over the St. Louis Rams. Milloy reportedly received a three-year, $6 million contract with a $2.5 million signing bonus. He probably commanded more money than the Vikings are willing spend on that position. Different teams place more value on certain positions.
We have now heard all about the players that the Vikings have missed out on because of this pending Steve Hutchinson deal. If this deal falls through because of some loophole, alot of Vikings fans are going to be mad as hell.

No doubt.. I will love it if we can get Hutch, but if for some stupid reason this deal falls through, we just lost out on alot of great talent in free agency that we can't go back on now... That is possibly the difference between SB, and not even making the playoffs..

Re: Vikings Eye New Option..
1st year for the whole organization, boys . . . hate to see rookie mistakes cost this team. If they get Hutch, they'll have had some PR success. If not, they'll have a lot of explaining to do (and it won't exactly be the start they want to get that stadium built). Who knows, everyone they have might play brilliant and they go on to win the Super Bowl, but as of right now, they're leaving many fans with a big WTF in their heads. :banghead:"Veni, Vidi, Vikings!"--Julius Caesar

Couldn't agree more.. We have seen great O-Linemen sign here and sign there. If this Hutch deal falls through, with the exception of Birk, and McKinney, we will have the same pathetic O-Line that we had last season. I am sorry, doesn't matter if we have a new offense, or new RB, if we go into next season with that line, the Vikings are in trouble..

Re: Vikings Eye New Option..
I do not understand why they did not go after Malloy, if his asking price was so low! People were expecting him to want 10 million a year, at that price no way, but 6 million over 3 years! What the hell were the Vikings thinking!What we've got here is failure to communicate.

Re: Vikings Eye New Option..
I want to ask, what do we have left for salary cap if Hutch is signed? We started with $31.5M and added $2.3 when Culpepper was traded. That's $33.8M. I know we signed other FAs but I'm thinking we should still be pretty well off. If Hutch signing goes through that will bring it to $20M. When you subtract the others we signed, what does that bring them to?

I believe we would have 12-15mil available after the Hutch signing.. Don't quote me on that, but I believe that is what it would be.. The only thing I can think of is that the Vikes are going to move up in the draft and take either Leinart, or Cutler, and both of those guys are going to demand a huge signing bonus..

Re: Vikings Eye New Option..
I think you're right on that but atleast we can just concentrate on the draft then. They may wait and draft someone like Omar Jacobs to fulfill the QB position and the contract won't be that huge. Then we have all those other picks to work on other areas.

Could Vince be the one to fill the void left by Pietersen's exit (From Hampshire Chronicle)

Could Vince be the one to fill the void left by Pietersen's exit
8:00am Thursday 6th February 2014 in Sport By Simon Carter, Sports Editor
JAMES Vince has already been earmarked as a future England Test batsman.
The Hampshire player, 22, is currently in Sri Lanka with the England Lions squad.
Along with several others, he might now be a bit closer to a first Test call-up.
Today he gets another chance to show the selectors what he can do.
As the dust starts to settle on the decision to end Kevin Pietersen's international career, one thing is obvious.
There are a handful of positions up for grabs in the England top order going into this summer's first Test series against Sri Lanka.
Jonathan Trott's absence and the doubts surrounding Vince's county colleague Michael Carberry's Test future could ensure an unfamiliar-looking top five come May.
Captain Alistair Cook and Ian Bell - the veterans of 103 and 98 Tests respectively – are shoe-ins to face Sri Lanka.
They will provide the experience, but who could join them in the top five?
Joe Root, with 15 Test caps, is unlikely to be jettisoned as the inquests continue into England's Ashes nightmare.
Root's Yorkshire colleague Gary Ballance is likely to stay at five for the first Test against Sri Lanka.
The Zimbabwe-born batsman has the highest first class average of any of the men most likely to benefit from Pietersen and Trott's absence.
Ballance was brought in at No 5 for the final Ashes Test, so it would be stupid in the extreme to drop him straight away.
Carberry's immediate future must be shrouded in doubt, even though his Ashes scores were better than some of his more illustrious and experienced colleagues.
At 33, he is not one for the future. The selectors have to weigh up, though, whether they need another experienced campaigner alongside Cook and Bell in the top five.
Middlesex's Australian-born opener Sam Robson has been busy winning compliments in the past 12 months.
The 24-year-old did has chances no harm earlier this week with 120 in the second innings of England Lions' match against Sri Lanka Emerging Players in Colombo.
Vince, batting at No 5 in that game, made just four in each innings.
A second Lions match against the same opponents was due to start today.
At 22, Vince is the youngest batsman of those considered most likely to be next on the Test scene.
As the panel on this page shows, he also has the lowest first class average of 37.20.
Prior to last season, Vince's most impressive displays for Hampshire had come in limited overs contests.
But he passed 50 11 times in 23 first class innings in 2013, scoring five centuries - including three in the closing three weeks of the season.
That was a large improvement on passing 50 just twice in 19 first class innings in 2012.
Another factor which could count against Vince at the moment, even if he was to start the new domestic season in the same vein he finished the last one, is the fact he is playing in the second tier of the Championship.
The likes of Robson, Root, Ballance and James Taylor are all top tier cricketers.
Alternatively, could Eoin Morgan win a recall? The 27-year-old does not boast a great first class batting average, but he offers a bit more experience, having won the last of his 16 Test caps two years ago this month.
After all, there are only so many young-ish, relatively untried (at Test level) batsmen you can throw in at once, even if there remains an experienced spine.

Puddletown Saint says...
Any way, James Vince will not play for England because
1. Hampshire (like Saints) are not in the click.
2. Division 2 club.
3. Is to good a batsman who plays shots and sometimes gets out doing it (this cannot be allowed in an England team)
4. Needs to score 'daddy hundreds' and not graceful 50's
Our gain - here is looking to a fantastic season

Hamels chasing Pettitte's playoff success
After evening NLCS, Phils look for lefty to keep momentum
PHILADELPHIA -- The National League Championship Series took a break on Monday after the teams moved three time zones west, giving left-hander Cole Hamels a chance to watch another southpaw work an LCS Game 3.Count Hamels as a fan of the Yankees' Andy Pettitte. "I just want to have his postseason career," Hamels said. "That would be great. ... That's something special right there." Hamels has a lot of work to do. After his loss to the Rangers in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series, Pettitte is 19-10 in a remarkable 42 starts. Pettitte already had more playoff wins, starts and innings (263 and counting) than any pitcher in history.
Tale of the Tape: NLCS Game 3

- Game breakdown
- Why he'll win: Young lefty always steps up in October
- Why he'll win: Feed off frenzied home crowd
- Pitcher beware: Top of Giants order has good number against him
- Pitcher beware: Chase Utley, Ryan Howard have hit him hard in the past
- Bottom line: October ace
- Bottom line: Workhorse
Pettitte has been watching the process from afar. Call it the brotherhood of Major League left-handers."It's fun to watch some young guys coming up in the league," Pettitte said. "I remember being at that stage in my career and just idolizing the guys that were up here, and wanting to be like Jimmy Key when he was with the Yankees and stuff like that. "All it means," Pettitte added with a laugh, "is you're getting old, whenever all the lefties on the other team are coming wanting to talk to you. But it's fun. It's been fun for me." The Phillies and Yankees could meet in the World Series, but first the Phils have to get past the Giants and the Yankees past the Rangers. Philadelphia held Hamels for Game 3 to let Roy Oswalt -- he of a 9-0 lifetime record at Citizens Bank Park -- work at home in Game 2. That means Hamels will work amid a sea of orange-and-black-clad Giants fans. Perhaps he'll channel Pettitte. "He's been able to get the job done, and he hasn't let the postseason faze him," said Hamels, who went 0-1 in two starts against San Francisco this year, allowing nine runs over 11 innings. That's difficult to do sometimes. "It's a big difference trying to adjust to more media attention, interviews, just having more people aware," Hamels said. "The excitement level going around the cities. ... How to prepare to having so many days off. It takes some time to get used to that, and once you do, you want to enjoy it. "That's kind of where we are as a team. We're enjoying it, but we also know we have to get down to business."

Arriving in Southern California for the Breeders' Cup is probably one of the best feelings in the world, especially when you're leaving the frozen north like I did. I got into Los Angeles on Sunday, and managed to get myself in bed nice and early so I could be up and at 'em for training hours on Monday morning.
When I woke up, I bounced out of bed and (after a quick shower) headed straight to the press center to pick up my media credentials, and then I was off to the track! Santa Anita Park is one of the most scenic ovals in North America, and there's something magical about the place as the sun comes up and fog hovers over the San Gabriel Mountains. That magic is made even more potent around Breeders' Cup, when the best horses on the planet are in town to face off in two days of the championship racing.
That's Breeders' Cup Classic contender Will Take Charge in that photo, by the way. He looks seriously good, and his trainer D. Wayne Lukas was out on his pony at the crack of dawn to watch his star train.
I mean, the man is 78 years old and he's on the back of a horse at 5:45 in the morning. That's inspiring.
Now, onto the workers! Since so many talented horses are on the grounds for the World Championships, I'll try to group the ones I spotted today by what race they're running in. I'll try my hardest to snap a picture of every horse this week – that's my goal, at least!
To start off, here's Breeders' Cup Marathon contender Ever Rider watching horses train. Please notice that he's not wearing a saddle, just a saddle towel. Also, he's wearing a hat. His compatriot Calidoscopio trained that way for the same race last year and won it, so who am I to judge equine fashion choices?
Another Marathon contender I saw was Suns Out Guns Out, which is an absolutely tremendous name for a horse. He's a big, good-looking, athletic guy, and I wouldn't be surprised if he hits the board (meaning he finishes in the top three) when he runs on Friday.
Indian Jones is my pick so far for the Marathon contenders; there's something very eye-catching about him, and since he'll be breaking from the sixth post position in the race I think he'll have plenty of time and room to settle in, stay behind horses through the opening panels of the race and be able to close to win should the race work in his favor.
The first Juvenile Fillies contender I saw this morning was Ria Antonia; she's a lovely, well-mannered filly who seemed to be taking the whole hectic scene of training hours in her stride. (Pardon the pun, please. I got up really early, OK?) Actually, speaking of stride, when Ria Antonia trotted past, my friend Alicia and I remarked on how fluid her movement was and how much ground she covered. For a 2-year-old, she sure can move; I'll have to wait until I see the rest of her competition but I'm interested to watch her go on Friday.
I also spotted Juvenile Fillies runner Concave; she's another looker, and much like Ria Antonia she was all business this morning. Concave has run three times in her career and won twice; the only time she didn't find victory she still finished third. That's a pretty impressive résumé for a 2-year-old filly!
The only Breeders' Cup Sprint runner I saw this morning was Private Zone; he was extremely workmanlike and will definitely be a contender in this year's edition.
I saw a pair of Juvenile contenders today; I always love spotting these horses, since they're going to be the stars of next year's Triple Crown trail. It's so much fun to speculate whether there's going to be a superstar on the horizon after seeing them.
The first Juvenile runner I saw was Tap It Rich, who was very full of himself. He was obviously feeling pretty good when he galloped as well, since his exercise rider had a very smug smile on his face after they finished training!
Dance With Fate is another Juvenile contender; he is a very professional, mature-looking 2-year-old and one I'm going to be keeping an eye on for the rest of the week.
The only Distaff horse I spotted this morning was Street Girl. While she's definitely a longshot in that race, I always have room in my heart (and perhaps by betting bankroll) for another Florida girl! She seemed to be enjoying herself during training hours, passing the Grandstand with a spring in her step.
Next on the track was Goldencents; you may remember him from the Triple Crown races this year, and now he's graduated to the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. Plus, one of his owners is Rick Pitino, the coach of the Louisville Cardinals basketball team, so that's pretty cool. Anyway, Goldencents is looking very good right now, and he may be a serious contender in that race.
Jeranimo is running in the Mile (which is on the grass course) – he is a solid, nice horse, but he seemed a little grumpy out on the track today. That having been said, anyone who reads this blog on a regular basis knows that my heart belongs to Wise Dan, who is also a Mile contender; so maybe my judgment is just a little impaired when it comes to evaluating horses in this race.
I have to say, Turf Sprint runner Chips All In looks seriously good. He was definitely on his toes this morning, but he remained focused on his training and just seemed like a really athletic horse.
I saved the Classic contenders for last: today Game On Dude (favorite in Saturday's Classic) and Paynter (sentimental favorite to many horse lovers for his courage in defeating a potentially lethal bout of colitis last year) both put in their final pre-Breeders' Cup workouts.
Paynter looked extremely strong today; he has a serious amount of muscle, and he was determined to keep in front of his workmate as they swept past the Grandstand.
I ended up getting a ton of photos of Game On Dude. He's just a plain bay horse (meaning he has a brown coat with a black mane and tail as well as black points on his legs and ears) but there's something about him that commands your attention when you see him. In fact, in a very cinematic moment, the sun itself broke out of its cloud cover when the Dude was waiting to head onto the track. A sign from Mother Nature or a meteorological coincidence? I guess we'll find out on Saturday!
Here he is coming around the turn into the homestretch – he's the horse on the outside.
And battling his workmate down to the finish line:
All in all, I was very impressed with his performance, and hopefully he'll give us a great show in the Classic.
While I didn't get too many other Breeders' Cup workers this morning, I did spot some other cool things at Santa Anita during training hours. For example, this is Oliver; he belongs to Mucho Macho Man's trainer, Kathy Ritvo, and I love him. He is the sweetest, floppiest, happiest puppy, and I basically just ended up following him around whenever there weren't horses on the track. He is a delight.
I also spotted an Arabian horse giving his rider a bit of trouble on the way back to the barn. There will be an exhibition race for Arabians before the first Breeders' Cup race on Friday; they're a different breed of horse from the Thoroughbreds that I usually pay attention to, so it was a real novelty for me to see them on the racetrack. Arabians are noticeably shorter than Thoroughbreds, and have a daintier look about them; however, as this horse proves, they have plenty of spirit!
I also spotted trainer Bob Baffert's new pony. He's absolutely beautiful, and I'm going to pocket all of the mints in my hotel and try to make friends with him tomorrow. I mean, seriously, check out how pretty he is:
The great thing about going to the track in the morning before the Breeders' Cup is how casually you'll see some of racing's superstars. As in, you'll be going to get a cup of coffee, and suddenly you'll be standing next to Hall of Fame jockeys Mike Smith and Gary Stevens. I mean, that's pretty cool.
After training hours were over, it was time to get to work before the draw. I went to set up shop in the auxiliary press box and grabbed a bite to eat. After I settled down, I took a moment to gripe about how awful my life is on Twitter. (If you can't tell, that is serious sarcasm. My life is pretty awesome right now.)
So, it's not the worst office view in the world here at @santaanitapark! #BC13 pic.twitter.com/KSfGzex4Zo— Penelope P. Miller (@HeadRacingTwit) October 28, 2013
Also, that macaroni and cheese was amazing. So, so good.
In fact, if you want to see how happy I am to be here at beautiful Santa Anita Park, my friend Scott Serio took this photo of me before the draw. That is the face of one happy racing girl!
Image courtesy of Scoot Serio/Eclipse Sportswire
Anyway, before too long it was time to head over to the draw. This is where the horses' post positions are determined for each of the races, so you can imagine how hectic it is when there are 14 races to account for! The main draw was held on the first floor of the Grandstand, which was great because there's a lot of room there and it was needed since a ton of press was on hand to cover the event.
Since there are so many horses, the best way of sharing the results with you is to check out our recap here.
The draw for the Breeders' Cup Distaff (the name of the main race for female horses) and the Classic was held in Santa Anita's Chandelier Room; the track just renovated the space this year, and it is really beautiful.
When the day was said and done, 172 horses had been assigned their post positions in this year's Breeders' Cup, and I am very excited to share as many of their photos with you as possible in the coming week! Thank you so much for stopping by, and let me know in the comments if there's a particular horse of whom you'd like me to try and get a picture!

I had a chance to check out the EOS-M with the 22mm, 18-55 EF-M zoom, and the EF Mount adapter with a 24-70 II. It handles fine with the 22 prime but for a longtime DSLR user, it felt awkward to zoom manually without a viewfinder. I know it's not for me; shooting through the LCD display makes composition harder and I had quite a bit more handshake holding the camera away from my face.
The lack of an eye-level (electronic) viewfinder is a challenge for me - no being able to brace the camera properly. Hopefully Canon will in due course launch a mirrorless body with an EVF (and hopefully a next gen APS-C sensor). I have no inclination to buy another camera based around the current 18MP APS-C sensor.
I wouldn't look at a mirrorless Canon until it has quality EVF. While the little tunnel optical viewfinder on the G-Series is a piece of rubbish, it's still preferable to composing and shooting with the camera at arms length like an iPhone. Errgh. Years ago I had a little Canon S3is P&S with an EVF. As far as EVF's go it was seriously entry level, but I didn't mind it at all.
I'd expect EVF's to mature pretty quickly to a point where they will be preferable to a DSLR optical viewfinder.

Recorded during the '87 tour "Abigail", this release leaves something to be desired for. It's not terrible, it's not bad, but I expected a little better than this. I've seen the King live, these recordings do not do the band or the King justice. The band sounds pretty good, but the way King's vocals were recorded makes you just want to go back and listen to the albums! I've heard better bootlegs than this, and the Mercyful Fate mini-disc "The Bell Witch" was also better. For Die-Hard King Diamond nuts only.
King Diamond Biography - King Diamond Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Arguably the bands best record! This version, from Mayhem Records, contains a 2nd disc featuring 4 songs captured live – including 'Your River,' 'A Sea to Suffer In,' 'Your Shameful Heaven,' and fan favorite 'The Forever People'. Last remaining quantities on the this 2 CD version.

This CD is for diehard fans. I like the raw sound of some of my favorite King Diamond songs here, a nice change from the polished recordings on the studio albums. Why Mansion was ommitted from the track list, who knows? I've wanted this CD for a long time to complete my collection, and I finally got it here. It might be deleted, so if you want this, get it now or never maybe. No store could order this for me. It's nice to have a complete collection. If you like this, track down the Bell Witch EP of Mercyful Fate, King's other excellent band. Hail to true metal!
A very good CD with recordings from the Abigail tour. It has one Mercyful Fate's song too.
though the song selection for this cd had me scratching my head it was the only live diamond cd to that point so you take what you can get. the liner note from diamond about finding the tapes in his dark wet basement with spiders etc is hillarious as im sure the tapes would sound this good after being in a wet basement for years. i have the original and the remaster. you dont get any bonus tracks on the remaster and the fold out poster is gone. i gave away all my originals when the remasters hit the shelves but kept this for the poster inside. but the sound is raw and i respect the fact they released it how it was with no overdubs. if you love the king get this
Live in 87 shows what I consider the peak in King Diamond's career. I love these songs from Abigail live. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is the foolish ommisions of "The Black Horsemen" and "A Mansion in Darkness" which are two of his finest moments. I'd love to hear them live, but despite, this is excellent highlighting the brilliant guitaring of Andy LaRocque who I consider the "Rhoads of the late 80's". Great album from a great band that stands the test of time even today.

The DeKalb County Zoning Board of Appeals denied the requests of two county commissioners and homeowners to rescind a permit for a subdivision on Wednesday.Opponents say the developers' plans to cut down 89 trees and clear land would permanently alter the Druid Hills Historic District. The subdivision is on the National Register of Historic Places.Druid Hills Civic Association President Bruce MacGregor claims the county violated its own laws when it issued Robert Buckler a land disturbance permit to cut down and build a seven-lot subdivision called Clifton Ridge."The code says before you do anything that has a material change in appearance you have to have approval from the Historic Preservation Commission. That was not done," said MacGregor. Members of the Druid Hills Civic Association say there have already been seven lawsuits on the proposed subdivision, but they're raising money for a legal fund and plan to take their case back to court.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

As if filmgoers stopped watching DVDs and Blu-rays altogether around the Fourth of July, distributors tend to be a little lighter in early-to-mid July with their number and caliber of releases—though quality documentaries certainly prevail. However, if there's one trend vamping through the first three weeks of notable discs this month, it's wild women! From Rick Springfield's rabid fanbase of shrieking cougars to neo-Nazi teen girls, nymphomaniac trannies, nefarious lesbian prank callers, and Harmony Korine's bad bevy of bikini babes, let these ladies have their way with you...
"DVD is the New Vinyl" is presented by Video Free Brooklyn, three-time "Best Video Store in NYC." For more info, please visit the VFB website.
2012, dir. Sylvia Caminer
(Breaking Glass Films, available on BD, DVD)
There's practically a caveat built into one's enjoyment of this warmly entertaining, unexpectedly funny doc celebration of Rick Springfield and his (mostly aging) fans, which is that it's not necessary to give a rat's ass about the former "General Hospital" star and "Jessie's Girl" hitmaker, still a studly, often-shirtless showman in his early '60s. Testimonials from showbiz pals like Linda Blair and ex-MTV veejay Mark Goodman might seem back-pattingly promotional, but it's within the Australian-born power-popster's intimate connections with his multi-generational admirers (including a woman with congenital heart defects, another who found inspiration in the music after being sexually assaulted, and a teenage rocker-in-training who first "jammed" onstage with Rick at age three) that complicated dynamics emerge. Springfield opens up about his suicide attempt and chasing the highs of a well-worn career, but the transcendent universality of idol obsession lies in the loyal husbands of super-obsessives, at least two of whom here jealously know they're second bananas to a man always there for their spouses in three-minute bursts of song.
The Skinny: Beyond the film's primer or the subject's five Top 10 hits in the U.S. (including, yes, "Affair of the Heart"), the best piece of Springfield trivia worth knowing is that, from '73 to '75, he starred as a mystery-solving, mystical version of himself in an animated spin-off of "The Brady Kids" called "Mission: Magic!," his Aussie accent still intact.
Bonus Round: The DVD includes an hour of extra content, while the two-disc Blu-ray edition doubles that with footage from three of the film's premieres, eight extended interviews, plus eight more conversations that didn't make the cut. In one, Corey Feldman talks about collaborating musically with Springfield after meeting him as his co-star of 1998's "Legion," a made-for-TV movie about a futuristic special-forces team.
Makes a "Rock Docs Not Just for Fans" Triple Feature with: "The Devil and Daniel Johnston," "Anvil! The Story of Anvil"
1963, dir. Mario Bava
(Kino Classics, available on BD, DVD)
No, don't adjust your audio settings, that is legendary cine-monster Boris Karloff introducing himself and Bava's anthology of expressionistic soundstage creep-outs in dubbed-over Italian. Presented in its original cut—not the lesser if rare, recut and rescored English-language version—the Euro-horror maestro's vibrant-hued trio of suspense tales begins with the noirish "The Telephone," about a frightened brunette in a sheer nightgown (Michele Mercier) being stalked with each ring of her rotary. Returning home as palid as a vampire, 19th-century rural paterfamilias Karloff lets a Russian count (Mark Damon) in on a family secret in the psychedelically gothic "The Wurdulak," and you won't ever forget the terrifying, sapphire-ringed corpse in the Chekhov-meets-EC-Comics conscience haunter "A Drop of Water." Bava's mastery of lush, atmospheric storytelling has made him one of the genre's most influential forefathers, and compared to the inconsistency of today's omnibus shockers ("V/H/S 2," "The ABC's of Death"), his trippy triptych remains near timeless.
The Skinny: In 1969, after noticing a theater across the street from their rehearsal room was showing "Black Sabbath," an English rock band called Earth was inspired by the idea of making the musical analogue of horror films and changed their name. Just ask Ozzy!
Bonus Round: Simultaneously, Kino drops Bava's black-blooded "Kidnapped," a brutal 1974 psychological thriller about hostages trying to fend off against three violent, bank-robbing abductors on the road.
Makes a "Bava's Eye-Popping Colors" Triple Feature with: "Blood and Black Lace," "Danger: Diabolik"
2011, dir. David Wnendt
(Artsploitation Films, available on DVD)
Bad apples don't fall far from their rotting trees in this unflinching, tragically moving drama about racist youth in suburban Germany hoping the Third Reich will rise again. Covered in swastika tattoos and planning to get inked next with Hitler's mug, twenty-year-old Marisa (a riveting Alina Levshin) is her ex-Nazi grandpa's little "Kriegerin" (the film's original title, meaning "warrioress"), a volatile force even next to her skinhead boyfriend and their hooligan gang of fuming fascists. Also getting her hate on while coming of age is sheltered teen troublemaker Svenja (Jella Haase), less ideologically inclined than Marisa but acting out in defiant rebellion of her parents. An initially belligerent, then reluctant friendship bonds the two girls, but it's actually the surprising emotional connection the older xenophobe makes with a persecuted Afghan refugee boy (Sayed Ahmad Wasil Mrowat) that lights the short dramatic fuses within the all-too-real subculture of neo-Nazism.
The Skinny: Wnendt explains the film's impetus in his director's statement: "In the summer of 1998 I worked for a film project in [the German region of] Lausitz. While I had conversations with adolescents, I noticed that many of them have extreme, right-wing opinions. Remarkable was the fact that many girls there have this opinion. That was the reason and point of origin for my long research to go deeper into this topic."
Bonus Round: Artsploitation regularly designs their packages with cool, reversible inserts and booklets with critical essays in the Criterion vein, but there's also a mixed-bag of an interview with Levshin, combining footage from a disappointing Q&A in San Diego with a more direct, sit-down interview.
Makes a "Criminally Angry Youth" Triple Feature with: "Romper Stomper," "La Haine"

Many thanks for the "Best of July" plug for "Affair of the Heart," Aaron. (I'm the editor of the film.) And bonus thanks for actually watching the bonus features.
James Kang | July 24, 2013 9:17 PM
These things are great. Keep 'em coming, Aaron.
Why is July a slower month for DVD releases? Does anyone know? Is there a good reason for that? August looks like a great month, at least as far as Criterion releases go.
El Hanso | July 24, 2013 4:58 PM
Interesting choices. Some (quite a lot) I'm so far totally unfamiliar with.
But I've seen Combat Girls and it's actually not that good. The actors are decent and Alina Levshin is fantastic, but the whole film is full of clichés, is so naive and suffers from an obvious narrative. It looks as if the filmmaker had to use every little detail, secret symbols or aphorisms, he found and crammed it into the movie, mostly as tattoos on the main character's body. And as an portrayal of Neo Nazi youths I found it to be quite problematic. I'm not saying the depiction was unrealistic, but it seemed one dimensional and too easy. Young Neo Nazis portrayed as unemployed losers, school drop-out, post-teen virgins, or wannabe rebels. Listening to silly video and "let me tell how it used to be" propaganda from a creepy grandpa who just hangs with the "kids." That's too superficial and easy for my taste.
Gabe Toro | July 24, 2013 4:30 PM
Great piece. Will look for Combat Girls. Been waiting FOREVER for Cohen and Tate.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

CAUL Statistics are produced annually from data supplied by CAUL (and CONZUL) institutions. CAVAL has managed the collection and compilation of the data since 1992. The data were published each year as the September supplement of Australian Academic and Research Libraries until this was discontinued in 2008.
Statistics were originally published in 1953 in the "News Sheet of the University and College Libraries Section, Library Association of Australia. Data were recorded in "The Red Book".
Current data is available both on the interactive online site, since 2004, and in spreadsheet form from 1983. The data "for publication" excludes a range of data provided by some institutions only; this data is not considered to be benchmarkable, and hence is included as optional.

Q: Does WFAA have any copies of the afternoon TV show "Sumpn' Else" recorded in the 60's?
A: We have very few, to be honest. Most of those programs were live, and not recorded. Archiving is much more sophisticated than in those early years of television, thus storing such footage via today's digital systems would be a snap. Wish we could be of more assistance.

How to Cut Back on Catalogs
April 22, 2010 at 5:44 pm , by Beth Roehrig
Last night, I opened my mailbox and was attacked by an avalanche of catalogs. I've noticed a big upswing in the number I've been receiving lately, but this was just ridiculous. And while I do recycle, I'd rather not get them in the first place—it's better for the environment and it cuts down on the amount of paper clutter that makes its way into my apartment. So, in honor of Earth Day, I took a few minutes to head over to catalogchoice.org, a site that helps you opt out of many catalogs' mailing lists without having to—gasp!—pick up the phone. I first used Catalog Choice about a year and a half ago, entering the names of catalogs that I received almost every week (here's looking at you, Victoria's Secret). Catalog Choice then submits the opt-out requests to the individual catalogs. After about a month, I noticed a big improvement, and I never missed out on sales because I was already getting email newsletters from the companies I actually bought from. Unfortunately, due to my nasty online shopping habit, I've got a whole new crop of catalogs showing up. It only took about 15 minutes to update my preferences, well worth the effort to save me from future mail avalanches. If you want to save even more trees, you can sign up with 41pounds.org (named after the amount of unwanted mail the average person receives in a year. Scary!) or dmachoice.org. Both help reduce all kinds of junk mail, not just catalogs.

Hawaiian Fredrick Patacchia has been a consistent presence on the ASP World Tour over recent years, with a highest end-of-season ranking of 12th in 2006 and 2008. In his ninth consecutive season on the tour in 2013, he currently lies in 19th place overall, despite missing the first three rounds of the season with injury. His best performance so far came in the sixth round at Teahupo'o, losing out in the quarter-finals to Kelly Slater. Away from world title events, Fred has picked up three victories in his tour career, including the ASP 2-Star Xcel Pro Sunset Beach in 2002 and the 3-Star Sobe No Fear Sunset Beach in 2004. In 2009, he also won the ASP PRIME Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro, beating defending champion Ben Bourgeois in the final with a 9.0 and 7.5. Born on 15th December 1981, super-friendly Fred grew up on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, a world-renowned surfing location, where his father Fred Sr. owned a surf shop. Soon after becoming NSSA national champion, he moved up to the elite division, when he was named Rookie of the Year in 2005 for finishing his debut season in 14th place. Fred is a fast and powerful goofyfoot. He's an incredible tube rider at spots like Pipe and Teahupo'o and he's also got a wicked backhand honed from years smacking the lip at his home break of Haleiwa. His favourite airs and barrels can also be seen in films, including his self-produced signature film, The Freddy P Project: Interrogation.

Simpson, Lynne Cheney continue spat
CASPER, Wyo. (AP) _ Former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson says Lynne Cheney told him to ``shut up'' during a reception Saturday night in Cody because of his support for incumbent Mike Enzi.
The Cheneys' daughter, Liz Cheney, is challenging Enzi in next year's Republican primary.
Simpson said he explained to Cheney that he has a history with Enzi that goes back decades -- and that, in fact, Simpson is the reason Enzi is in public life at all.
Both Simpson and Cheney, the wife of former Vice President Dick Cheney, say the dispute centered on Simpson's earlier refusal to sign a football for Cheney's granddaughter at a recent fundraiser in Laramie.
Simpson tells the Casper Star-Tribune he had refused a request from Liz Cheney's daughter to sign the football when the girl said she didn't know if it was going to be used for campaign purposes.
Liz Cheney's campaign on Tuesday released a statement from Lynne Cheney saying Simpson had been rude to her granddaughter.

Key Tips and How-Tos
Ensure understanding about the why and how
Take advantage of AF Team Approach training and technical assistance and other technology
Ensure understanding about the why and how
- Take every opportunity you have with partnering agencies and personnel involved in the programs to explain why the reach data is important and how to collect the data:
- When you are recruiting them
- During training and recertification workshops
- Ensure that all of your leaders and instructors understand the need to complete the standardized Program Information form for each class series. They also need to collect the Participant Release forms from all new participants. This set of materials should be submitted to the AF within two weeks after the end of a course series or within 30 days after the end of each quarter for ongoing classes.
Reach Data Collection Forms and Mechanisms: What and When for a quick overview
Why is Data Important? handout to help you explain the rationale for data to outside partners and program personnel
Program Information and Roster Form Instructions
Participant Release Form
Other Helpful Materials for a list of nationally and locally developed forms and informational resources
- Ask facilities, leaders and instructors and trainers to sign the appropriate agreements (program co-sponsorship agreements or statements of understanding) before you provide training or program materials so they are informed upfront about the data collection procedures.
Chapter 2-10, Resources for Quality and Risk Management for further information
Program Co-sponsorship Agreement WORD and PDF version
Leader Statement of Understanding WORD and PDF version
- Show how the data is used (e.g., provide data reports back) and recognize partnering agencies and program personnel in any newsletters, Arthritis Foundation/state Web sites and other communications. The Reach and Capacity Report will be generated by the AF from Team Approach data on a quarterly and annual basis.
Make reach data a team effort
- Both staff and volunteers can play a role in the tasks related to data collection, entry and reporting. Make sure that all of the tasks are assigned to specific persons and that these individuals understand their responsibilities and timelines for completion of their tasks.
- Ensure that there is a designated person at every program site to compile the Program Information report form -- preferably the instructor or a staff person who understands the need for the data.
- Experienced program leaders, instructors and trainers and other volunteers can help with tasks such as collecting quarterly reports from sites, sending out reminder notices, entering data into Team Approach and helping to deal with any non-compliant program personnel or sites.
- Nurture a relationship and maintain ongoing communications with the involved individuals so that they feel like a member of the team effort to reach more people with arthritis.
Take advantage of AF Team Approach training and technical assistance and other technology
- To obtain training/ technical assistance on entering data into Team Approach and providing reports, Arthritis Foundation chapters can call the Team Approach Helpdesk: 888-459-2758, Option 2.
- The Arthritis Foundation, Information Technology Department, with support from CDC, has developed new technologies to assist with data collection and entry, including scannable forms and an online capability that will allow web site class registration and data entry. Contact the Team Approach Helpdesk to learn more about available training opportunities.
