AH, A new year, a chance for a fresh start! That's my cue to clear my desk.
"I AM a fireman's daughter," wrote Beverly (Nugent) McElroy of Pomona. Her handwritten letter of last summer, in response to plans to close a fire station in Pomona to save money, shared family history.
Her father, Clyde L. Nugent, was born in Pomona in 1901. He and his future wife were working at an orange packing house at Reservoir and First when in 1924 he had the chance to join Pomona's previously all-volunteer Fire Department.
"He became the first paid fireman," McElroy said. "For his first vacation, he married my mom and went on a week's honeymoon."
The main fire station was downtown where City Hall stands now. The Nugents lived nearby on the site of today's courthouse.
"I loved to go to the firehouse when I was little. I used the ladders on the truck to swing on, but the most fun was to beg my Dad to slide down the fire pole," McElroy said. She would hold onto his neck, hook her legs around his waist and down they would slide.
Nugent was a Pomona fireman for 32 years, retiring as a battalion chief in 1956 at age 55, but not before assisting at the Pomona High fire that year.
"My Dad worked there before firemen became sex symbols, and for a much smaller salary," McElroy pointed out. He died in 1987. "For a long time after, when the fire trucks passed my house, they would honk their horns."
Honk honk! Thanks for the lovely letter, Bev.
VOLUNTEERS IN Rancho Cucamonga were thanked at a 21st annual Volunteer Appreciation dinner at the Epicenter in June, which included free admission to a Quakes game, presentation of awards and "BBQ dinner."
One volunteer sent me a letter about the low-budget thanks she got.
"BBQ dinner, Quakes game and fireworks. Two out of three were great. When I think of BBQ I think of a lovely-smelling sauce. My mistake. We got one cold hot dog, package of chips, package of cookies.
"We realize money is short but there should be truth in advertising."
Rancho has five months until the 22nd annual event. City Hall might want to upgrade the food. Either that, or change the description to "Cold wiener dinner."
SINCE THE summer of 2010, a copy of the Mud Springs Messenger, the newsletter of the San Dimas Historical Society, has been on my desk, a relevant passage circled for further investigation.
Since further investigation never occurred, nor is it likely to, let me simply quote the passage, which states that while In-N-Out was founded in Baldwin Park, the company "has roots in San Dimas as well.
"Esther and Harry Snyder, the founders, were residents of our fair city. The Christ's Church of the Valley on West Covina Boulevard in San Dimas is actually built on the old Snyder family homestead."
The family house, still standing today, was used as the headquarters of In-N-Out for a time. After Harry's death in 1976, Esther contributed to local political and philanthropic campaigns, including the Festival of the Arts and the mural on the exterior of City Hall, before her own death in 2006.
Those were the ins and outs of that.
IN NOVEMBER I read "This is Claremont," a 1947 history of the town written by Harold Davis - the same fellow mentioned here the other day who had T.S. Eliot as a visitor. Everything is connected.
Davis' book is a charmer, and corny too, full of gauzy anecdotes and personal memories by Claremont pioneers. Could have resulted in a column, but didn't, so I'll treat it here in brief.
What struck me was how isolated Claremont was then and how hard it was to get around the valley.
When Pomona College moved to Claremont in 1889, taking over an abandoned hotel after a land bust, some students and faculty continued attending church in Pomona. The trip, in a carriage pulled by aged horses, took one hour there and two hours back, over unpaved paths. (The way back was uphill.)
A group of eighth-graders from Etiwanda were taken to Claremont in 1898. One of the girls recalled years later that the trip, in a horse-drawn wagon, took five hours.
The youngsters arrived covered in dust. To make themselves presentable, they washed up at a hydrant.
On the bright side, at least they could find parking for their wagon, and they didn't get a ticket after leaving it overnight.
IT'S BEEN more than a year since I attended a school board meeting, a no-show streak I hope to continue indefinitely. Compared to school board meetings, city council meetings are as fast-paced as a Laker game.
Apparently, 'twas ever thus. In 1869, writer and sometime-journalist Ambrose Bierce wrote this for a San Francisco newspaper:
"The Board of Education met on Tuesday evening and shamefully disappointed the hopes of the public. Not a man was called a liar, not a spittoon was cast, there was never an inkstand flung. We should like to know what these men are for, if not to furnish their quota of the city amusement and contribute to the sensational literature of the town."
What indeed. I guess that's what city councils are for.
I read a collection of Bierce's writings early in 2012, made note of that passage and saved it in case I wrote about a school board meeting. Thankfully, I never did.
Speaking of being thankful, my thanks to you for reading my stuff in 2012, and also for all your emails and column ideas. Even with 156 columns per year, I can't get to all your ideas, or even all my ideas, which makes me guilty but which I hope you understand.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got more old paper to toss.

Summary Details
Linguistics in General Education
|Trudi Patterson

|Linguistic LingField(s):
Not Applicable
Two months ago, I posted a request for information on how courses in linguistics were used to fulfill general education (GenEd) requirements. The query read as follows:
I am interested in extending the reach of linguistics beyond courses for future linguists and/or teacher education. There are discussions across the U.S. about language policy, e.g. identifying English as an official language, and one going on here in Oklahoma. So it would seem important, nay critical, for us to try to reach students in other majors and educate them about language/linguistics. Here, we offer a course in Language & Culture to fulfill a humanities requirement. I am told that some schools offer linguistics as a lab science course to fulfill the lab science requirement.
I would like to know how schools use linguistics-type classes in the general education curriculum. What linguistics-type courses do you offer that fulfill general education requirements and how/which category do they fulfill?
I did not receive as many responses as I had hoped. If anyone else would still like to respond to this question, I welcome your input.
Thank you once again to those who responded and answered my questions.
Leor Alcalay
Lynn Burley
Wendy Burnett
Seran Dogancay-Aktuna
Joseph Foster
Naomi Nagy
The responses indicate that linguistics courses are used to fulfill the following kinds of GenEd requirements:
Arts & Letters
Arts & Sciences Social Science
Social Science
World Cultural Traditions
All of these purposes seem to fall along the Arts-Humanities-Social Science spectrum, which is what I expected to find, at least in part. Rumor has it, however, that linguistics courses are also used to fulfill other science (perhaps lab-type) and communication (a la foreign language) requirements. No one responded indicating that linguistics was used for such purposes at their institution. But I am not giving up hope. If anyone has information on linguistics being used for either of these types of GenEd requirements, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thank you all again.

A west/east trending kind of tight canyon. Typical sandstone routes, just short. It can be cool in the winter, but my guess is hot in the summer. Most routes are on the north face.
Getting There
Take Sunset Blvd west of the airport mesa to Dixie Drive Road and turn left. Continue until you reach Canyon View Rd, and turn right. Continue until the pavement ends. Continue as far as your car will allow aiming for the narrow canyon almost directly west of the end of the pavement. Either park at the base of the canyon and hike in or drive up the side (rt) of the canyon and hide down or rap down.

Youkilis is odd man out in Game 3
With DH option out, Red Sox go with Big Papi at first base
DENVER -- One hitter that the Red Sox rely on heavily was going to have to sit in Game 3 of the World Series. There was simply no way around it. Under National League rules, the Red Sox no longer have a designated hitter, which has forced manager Terry Francona into moving star slugger David Ortiz to first base.
Mike Lowell will stay at third, which means that red-hot Kevin Youkilis -- Boston's everyday first baseman who can also play the hot corner -- will open Game 3 on the bench.
Francona isn't sure whether he'll stick with the same alignment for Game 4.
"Well, I think David is a really good hitter, and I think Mike Lowell is a really good hitter, and I actually think Youk is a really good hitter," said Francona, "but they won't let us play all three of them. So we'll go with this. The hope would be we'd have a lead, we'll put Youk in late. It doesn't always work perfect, but we'll do the best we can."
Youkilis took a team-first attitude.
"I mean, I think people are making this out to be a little bit more than it is," said Youkilis, who's hitting .396 in the postseason. "We're here to try to win a World Series. You can't be upset. We're in a great position right now. We're up two games to none. If you're worried about your playing time and this and that, I think you're in the wrong spot. This is the World Series. You've just got to be happy to go out and help in any capacity you can."
Ortiz last played first base on June 24. In all, Ortiz started seven games at first base in 2007 and didn't make an error. He has no fewer than three gloves to choose from on Saturday night.
"They're all brand new," quipped Big Papi.
The only reason Francona had hedged slightly on whether Ortiz would start the three games at Coors Field is because of the right knee that has troubled him all year long.
Ortiz thinks his knee is good enough to get by for, at the most, three days of defense.
"When we're 2-0, [the knee] feels great," Ortiz said. "Right now, I have no pain. I have a little bit of swelling, but the pain is not as bad as it gets sometimes. The other day when I was working at first base, when I finished, it felt a little bit crazy. But this is it, bro. After this, there's no other [series]."
The deciding factor between Lowell and Youkilis was probably the defense of the latter. Lowell is a terrific defender at third, while Youkilis played just 12 games there this season. Also, Lowell drove in 120 runs for the Red Sox during the season, and he's hitting .333 in the postseason with a homer and 12 RBIs.

Zach Randolph scored 21 points and Rudy Gay added 20 to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 92-81 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night.
Tony Allen scored 11 and Marc Gasol had 10 points and 12 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who have won three of their last five games.
P.J. Tucker scored a career-high 17 points and Marcin Gortat added 12 points and rebounds for the Suns. Guards Goran Dragic and Sebastian Telfair combined for just 12 points and seven assists.
Phoenix has lost eight of nine and 15 of 20 dating to November 28.
Despite shooting in the mid-30 percent range for the bulk of the game, Phoenix trailed 71-65 when Markieff Morris converted a three-point play 31 seconds into the fourth quarter.
But Gasol scored four points, including a fallaway 17-footer, and Gay added a 21-foot jumper to key a 10-3 run that put the Grizzlies ahead 81-68.

For the past few days I have been burping a lot after I eat. I didn't think much of it at first, blaming it on something I ate. But it's been pretty persistent and happens everytime I eat or drink something, even if it's only water. It's quite embarassing and it doesn't have a very positive affect on my breath either. My mom said something about acid reflux, but I don't have any heartburn or other common symptoms. Any ideas?

There's a relative of acid reflux called lpr or silent reflux. I'm not sure if belching is a symptom. But, some of the symptoms are sore throat, dry cough, hoarseness and continual clear of the throat.

I have the same problem.
When I eat dry foods like rice, chicken breast, potatoes, etc... without chewing them to a pulp, I can feel them get stuck in my esophagas. This leads to a sharp pain in my chest which I do not think is what they consider heartburn.
After the food gets stuck in my chest for a while, I feel the urge to burp but can't because the pasage is blocked. So, my food is trying to go down while the gas is trying to go up which really hurts =(.
I just have to wait it out or try to vomit it up, or if u get really desperate you can swallow a couple gulps of a drink really fast but that hurts badly as well.
I went to the doctor for this and they said it was acid reflux and gave me "Nexium". I don't take it because I don't "choke" often and I don't think it helped much.
I think the real problem is that I just have a small esophogas and just need to chew my dry foods better, but then there always is that burping sensation, so who knows.

the symptoms of acid reflux are: heartburn, regurgitation, and nausea
Those are the most common, but there are a few others:Originally Posted by geoffgarcia
Difficulty or pain when swallowing
Waterbrash (sudden excess of saliva)
Dysphagia (the sensation of food sticking in the esophagus)
Chronic sore throat
Inflammation of the gums
Erosion of the enamel of the teeth
Chronic irritation in the throat
Hoarseness in the morning
A sour taste
Bad breath
I know you're half-crazy, but I wish you'd go all the way.

Heartburn/Acid Reflux will feel like a burning sensation just below your sternum. Common causes from my experience deal with carrying too much weight around the stomach area, and overall a poor diet.
It sounds more like you have indigestion than heartburn honestly. Best I advice I can give you is just eat a bit slower or in moderation.
For those who do have heartburn I highly recommend the Pepcid Complete chewable tabs out there now. Its nearly instant heartburn relief and it keeps it away for the majority of the day. Stay away from more then 2 in a 24 hour period as they tend to do more damage than good when you take more than that.
When I'm bulking, sometimes I can't avoid it. I usually take a couple of Gaviscon's to keep the food down; it forms a barrier between your stomach and esophagus, so nothing comes up.
I don't think that what you are experiencing is acid reflux, more of a case of gas forming in your stomach.
I have yet to figure out what my problem is though. Three times now, months apart, I will have an extreme attack of pain in my stomach (upper abdominal region) that feels like the depths of hell are raging in my stomach. The first time it happened, I did vomit (ooooh, a pretty red colour), then the next day, I was brushing my teeth, and I almost did again, but nothing came of it except some pink saliva. The doctor said to get some Gaviscon. I find that every time I have an attack, the Gaviscon quiets it down within seconds (not after I've given my mother a heart attack because I'm in denial every time it happens).
So, needless to say, based on my experience, I don't think that you have acid reflux.

Lots of women provided style inspiration, but we've rounded up 10 stars whose hair and makeup might inspire you to try something new — plus tips on achieving the looks straight from the pro teams that worked with them. Source: Getty Gwyneth Paltrow What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Getting Gwyneth's waves isn't difficult at all. Stylist David Babaii switched between a two-inch and one-inch iron, curling the hair in different directions and gently pulling on the ends to create a wave. To prevent flyaways, he smoothed the top half of Gwyneth's hair with a few drops of Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment. Source: Getty 1 / 10 Rachel Roy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The designer's enviably shiny hair is partly due to genetics and partly due to styling secrets. For the Met Gala, Rachel's hair shone and stayed frizz-free with KeSARI Indian Oil hair serum, which was applied from Rachel's ends upward. Source: Getty 2 / 10 Maggie Q What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Maggie Q's eyes stand out with creamy eye shadows. Makeup artist Hung Vanngo used MAC Eye Pencil in Teddy, Stila Smudge Pot in Bronze, and Nars cream eye shadow in Savage, finishing up with two coats of Diorshow Extase Mascara. Source: Getty 3 / 10 Zoe Saldana What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Stylist Mara Roszak created these easy, loose waves in four steps: "Apply a drop of Kérastase Sérum Oleo-Relax to the mid-lengths and ends along with Kérastase Ciment Thermique. Part hair in the middle with a clean part and blow-dry smooth with a medium-sized round brush, keeping some volume and movement. With a one-inch barrel curling iron, rotate the direction of each section around the barrel, leaving the ends out. Gently tease the crown and spray Kérastase Double Force Hairspray all over hair, breaking up the waves with fingers for an undone look." Source: Getty 4 / 10 Dianna Agron What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For Dianna's eyes, makeup artist Angela Levin used Chanel Illusion D'Ombre Long Wear Luminous eye shadow in Ebloui and Mirifique (available in July 2011), then used Talika Eye Brow Extender in Light Brown to shape the eyes, and finished up with Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir.

Here, she's wearing Lancôme Star Bronzer Long Lasting Bronzing Powder Natural Matte in Sunbath, plus Lancôme Blush Subtil in Shimmer Mandarin Sky on the apples of her cheeks. A little highlighter at the top of her cheeks is the finishing touch. Source: Getty 7 / 10 Michelle Williams What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's no secret that hair oils are having a moment, and in Michelle Williams's case here, Moroccanoil Light is the only styling product she wore. Her stylist for the night, Peter Gray, applied the wildly popular serum near the roots to separate strands and create a shiny, tousled look. Source: Getty 8 / 10 Sofia Vergara What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Makeup artist Kayleen McAdams created a cool cat-eye shape for Sofia Vergara. She started on top with Cover Girl LiquilineBlast Eyeliner in Black Fire, and then went over the line with Cover Girl LineExact Liquid Liner in Very Black. Then, she blended dark chocolate brown eye shadow starting from the outer corners and blending in toward the center. Along the bottom lash line, she used Cover Girl LiquilineBlast Eyeliner in Brown Blaze and blended the liner with a black shadow to set it. Source: WireImage 9 / 10 Ashley Greene What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Take a cue from Ashley Greene's makeup artist for the night, Matthew VanLeeuwen, and apply your eye makeup before anything else. This makes it easy to clean up eye shadow dust before you've spent time making the skin look perfect. VanLeeuwen did this with Ashley by applying Mark Face Xpert Flawless Touch Makeup and light concealer.

Every year, one NFL player has the dubious distinction to be the last player picked in the NFL draft. Dubbed "Mr. Irrelevant," this player receives a variety of nominal gifts during Irrelevant Week, held in Newport Beach, Calif. The tongue in cheek event raises money for local charities, as well as providing a nice weekend for Mr. Irrelevant. In the third installment of the Draft Dose series, we examine how the five most recent Mr. Irrelevants have fared on the field.
Tim Toone (2010, Detroit Lions)
Toone, a wide receiver out of Weber State, was a final cut by the Lions prior to the start of the season. Toone was a practice-squad fixture throughout the campaign, and was signed to a future contract on Jan. 5.
Ryan Succop (2009, Kansas City Chiefs)
Succop, a placekicker out of South Carolina, secured the Chiefs' PK job out of training camp and has held on to it ever since. Succop made 25-of-29 field-goal attempts in his rookie season, and he followed that up by hitting 20-of-26 attempts for the AFC West champs in 2010.
David Vobora (2008, St. Louis Rams)
A linebacker out of Idaho, Vobora has been a contributor for the Rams in each of his three seasons. He has played in 26 games the past two seasons, and has 16 career starts, tallying 97 career tackles and two sacks in his career so far. Vobora gets our vote for best Mr. Irrelevant.
Ramzee Robinson (2007, Detroit Lions)
Robinson, a cornerback from Alabama, bounced from the Lions to the Eagles to the Browns from 2007-09. He played in 26 games and recorded 36 tackles, but wasn't able to crack a roster in 2010 after being cut by the Redskins prior to the season.
Kevin McMahan (2006, Oakland Raiders)
A receiver out of Maine, McMahan has bounced around various practice squads since being drafted. He has spent time with the Raiders, Colts, Giants, Chiefs, and Panthers, but never recorded any regular-season stats.

Boost Your Retirement Savings - Automatically
January 18, 2011 | Posted By: Christa Blair
Its no secret that saving money for retirement is difficult.
Personal savings rates have plunged in the past several decades to reach negative levels in recent years. Similarly, according to Employee Benefit Research Institute, the average 401(k) balance was a mere $57,000 in recent years. Clearly, something is not working with current retirement savings practices.
There are four key psychological principles that contribute to the retirement savings dilemma.
To solve these problems and develop an alternative savings strategy designed to work with peoples inherent psychological limitations, economists Richard H. Thaler from University of Chicago and Shlomo Benartzi at U.C.L.A developed an innovative solution called "Save More Tomorrow."
Workers participate by allocating a portion of each future pay raise to future savings. They are allowed to spend some of the money with the rest going automatically to 401(k) savings.
The key to this strategy working is that it happens automatically. Previous studies (Madrian and Shea (1999)) demonstrate how automatic enrollment plans were highly effective in increasing retirement plan participation by automatically enrolling employees as soon as they were eligible. Unlike the typical 401(k) where the default is to not join, automatic enrollment plans default is to join. This small change made all the difference in helping employees afford to retire.
The Save More Tomorrow strategy simply takes the automatic enrollment concept one step further by automatically increasing 401(k) contributions with each pay raise. The employee doesnt have to do anything except choose to participate. The employee never sees the money and never has to make a decision to save it. They dont feel any sense of loss or deprivation because people dont miss what they never had.
For example, assume a worker in his mid-30s earned the median household income of $49,777 and dedicated two-thirds of each annual 3% pay raise to his 401(k), earning an average annual return of 8%. Amazingly, by the time he reached age 65, he would have nearly $1.5 million put away. Not only that, he still would have enjoyed one-third of each annual pay raise in current spending.
There are two important principles that make this retirement savings strategy so effective. The first is the automatic saving of the money. By making participation automatic, it takes advantage of peoples natural inertia in making decisions.
The second important principle at work in this strategy is to control lifestyle costs. The mistake most people make is to increase lifestyle as income grows. If you want to build wealth you must control lifestyle and defer your income growth to savings. Automatically allocating pay increases helps to automatically control lifestyle increases as well.
In summary, the key to building a secure retirement nest-egg is to overcome the inherent obstacles that stand between you and your goal. You have natural human tendencies that limit your ability to save money. Automatic savings programs are effective because they overcome these tendencies by putting money away before you ever see it, thus eliminating any sense of loss and eliminating any requirement for discipline.
This provides a simple solution to help you grow retirement savings automatically.

Reviews for Macadamia & Coconut Caramels
Sort By :
LOVED these and so does everyone else!!
I made these last year to take to holiday gatherings and everyone loved them. Can't wait to make them this holiday season. Mailed them to my best friend in Florida as a gift and she called asking for more! Definitely my newest annual tradition.
Very excellent! I have made caramels using a recipe that has been passed down and was very concerned about using this one that used sweetened condensed milk. But was I surprised at the taste of these. WOW! I have since made 4 more batches and have given them away as gifts - with everyone loving them.
easy to make and awesome :)
These are the best caramels!! Firm enough to cut, yet soft enough for the caramel to stretch as you bite into them. I've received so many compliments already.

Style: Karate, BBT--
Arizona Bujinkan Ninpo & Budo Kai
Aveness: 2
Equipment: 2 (unless the floor mats used by a gymnastics group that shares the space count)
Gym Size: 6
Instructor/Student Ratio: 10
Atmosphere/Attitude: 6
Striking Instruction: 4
Grappling Instruction: 2
Weapons: Not Sure (didn't stick around for weapons year)
This review is from only a couple months attending one fairly short class once a week (the maximum amount of training until invited to the other two weekly classes).
It is BBT so what I was working on mostly was rolling, the Kihon Happo, and some joint-lock/take-downs with very little if any resistance. The classes begin with self-monitored stretching, bowing in as a small group with a mantra, and then the rolling stuff. The second half of the class consisted of working on applications of the Kihon Happo, distance training in slow motion, and some other rather mild stuff. Apparently this is typical of BBT training from what I've read from others on here. I saw very little progress from the people I was began with before I left. Though, the top instructors did give use noobs plenty of attention. I guess if you want to lounge around with a bunch of people in socks and learn to be really quiet while doing practically nothing, it's a great place to be.
Cliquish but not assholes. Sincere seeming people, but I have doubts about the comparative effectiveness of the "art" itself that weren't at all shaken by 2 months of periodic "basics". Maybe I was overly disappointed because I looked over what areas the syllabus seemed to cover and found that when it came to striking, there wasn't any real way to test the strikes ...no grappling ...poor excuses for throws (unless having someone stand there while you lock their joints up and push them over their center-line is a throw in fast motion - I don't know, didn't see it) ...no sparring, randori, or anything even close to a fight ...and where the **** were the weapons? Ah - but you have to master the Kihon, then you will have the right postures and control and whatever the hell to touch a bokken.
At the very least, I can say I didn't blow too much money to figure this out the annoying way. $40 a month or $15 a class. Maybe you get what you pay for. Or, maybe it's all bullshit through and through.

Until invited? Holy balls...
Other than that, I had a similar experience for a couple months. Nice people, bad martial artists. Although the instructor also gives kung fu lessons (although he wastes time with **** like Shaolin rope dart, apparently), and an assistant was pretty well-versed in TDK (dunno if he was ATA or some similar TKD light school though), they seemed pretty unfazed by the bad training procedure.

This course will examine the emergence and development of cultural identities in Europe, with a particular focus on the emergence and development of a conception of "Europe" and "European" from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. In order to understand these notions more clearly, it will be pertinent to study what was NOT Europe/European throughout this same time period.

National Weather Service is getting a radar upgrade. The new equipment will help forecasters get a closer look at rain, hail, tornado and snow particles in the air.
Currently, the weather service sends out horizontal energy waves that inform forecasters about the weather conditions. Unfortunately, that radar has trouble distinguishing the difference between rain and snow.
This new upgrade will send out vertical energy waves along with the horizontal waves which will provide meteorologists with a more detailed look at particles in the air.
"With the upgrade, the difference between a snowflake and a raindrop will be much clearer," warning coordination meteorologist Michael L. Moritz said. "Hopefully we'll know more information about where it's snowing or just when it's raining."
After the update, which is expected to occur in February or March, forecasters will be able to review details about the size and shape of a particle.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 27, 2011) – Quick Enough reversed a setback by Amazombie when he gamely outdueled the 13-10 favorite on Sunday to capture Santa Anita's $100,000 Sensational Star Handicap for California-breds by one-half length while traversing 6 ½ furlongs over the track's hillside turf course in 1:13.52.
The mild upset by the 4-1 second choice assured a Pick Six carryover of $126,305 into Thursday when racing resumes at Santa Anita. The Pick Six carryover will be the sixth of the meet that has encompassed 41 days.
The Sensational Star quickly evolved into a two-horse race among the eight starters. With Patrick Valenzuela at the controls, Quick Enough took a short early lead as Amazombie and jockey Mike Smith tracked closely in second.
Amazombie, who had won 6 of 8 sprints since being gelded early last year, pulled alongside entering the stretch and appeared to put his nose in front. But Quick Enough, racing on the inside, tenaciously battled back to gain the decision.
In so doing, the 7-year-old gelding trained by Doug O'Neill gained a measure of revenge after finishing sixth, seven lengths behind his rival, when Amazombie took the $200,000 Sunshine Millions Sprint over Santa Anita's main track on Jan. 29.
"I always knew I had horse in this race," Valenzuela said following his third victory of the afternoon. "I never hit my horse. I just hand rode him. He stuck his neck out and put everything into the race."
O'Neill said he and Valenzuela spoke but briefly in the paddock preceding the race. "He even mentioned that it didn't look like there was a lot of pace in here," said O'Neill, "so being on the inside, he had to ask him to get good position.
"Patrick had it in his head that he was going to be forwardly placed. That first quarter went so easy, he just had enough horse that he was able to maintain that position (through the stretch)." The early splits were moderate for the hillside course: 22.89 and 45.48.
Dancing in Silks, winless in five starts since taking the 2009 Breeders' Cup Sprint at Santa Anita, finished third, two lengths behind Amazombie while making his first start for trainer Kathy Walsh. Garrett Gomez rode.
Quick Enough paid $10.60, $4.20 and $3.40. The prices on favored Amazombie were $3 and $2.60. Dancing in Silks paid $5 to show.
The victory by Quick Enough was his second in seven starts since being claimed for $40,000 by the partnership of Michael Bello, Russ Sarno and Pablo Suarez at Del Mar last Aug. 5.
His overall record became 8-5-3 in 19 career starts for earnings of $375,360. The son of High Brite's record on turf became 5-3-1 in 11 races.
The Pick Six sequence on Thursday will begin with the third race. First post is at 1 p.m. Entries will be taken on Wednesday for Saturday's 74th running of the Grade I, $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap.

The biggest decisions made involved the pitching staff. Byung-Hyun Kim was moved up from the No. 5 to No. 4 spot in the rotation, while 21-year-old Oscar Villarreal was named the fifth starter. John Patterson, who had been penciled in as the club's No. 4 starter, was optioned to Triple-A Tucson.
In the bullpen, the Diamondbacks released veteran Mike Jackson, while designating left-hander Greg Swindell for assignment, meaning they have 10 days to trade or release him before he becomes a free agent. Those moves cleared the way for the club to keep young pitchers Bret Prinz, Mike Koplove and Stephen Randolph in the bullpen along with Miguel Batista, Mike Myers and Matt Mantei.
Veteran pitcher Armando Reynoso, a non-roster invitee, elected to step away from the game at this time to address family matters.
Not surprisingly, Carlos Baerga won the backup infield spot as Alex Cintron was optioned to Tucson and Chris Donnels was reassigned to minor league camp.
Villarreal will pitch out of the bullpen to begin the season until the D-Backs need a fifth starter on April 8. The decision was a pleasant surprise for Villarreal, who after the first day of Spring Training called his father Jose in Mexico.
"I told him, 'Hey, no chance. Too many pitchers on the team,'" Villarreal said of his chances of making the Opening Day roster.
Saturday morning, though, Villarreal was summoned into manager Bob Brenly's office and given the good news. Shortly before that Brenly informed Patterson of his decision.
"I knew this was a possibility, but I wasn't aware that it would come down like this," said Patterson, whose last spring outing was his best to date." He didn't feel like I was where I was at the end of [last] year."
Patterson was 2-0 with a 3.23 ERA for the D-Backs last season. Ace Randy Johnson spent a good deal of time talking with the 25-year-old after he received the news, as did Curt Schilling.
When that decision was made, Brenly decided he didn't want Patterson to pitch in relief, something he has done only a handful of times in his career.
"John Patterson has always been a starting pitcher and to ask him to fill a role that's unfamiliar to him and all that goes along with that, we just didn't think that was fair to him or the ballclub," Brenly said. "Villarreal is better suited to that role."
Villarreal was 6-3 in 14 games (12 starts) for Double-A El Paso, before going 3-3 in 10 starts for Tucson. The right-hander's young age did not work against him.
"Villarreal in our eyes deserved the opportunity," Brenly said. "We love his stuff, we love his makeup. There was some initial concern about his age, but he doesn't pitch like a 21-year-old."
Swindell, who is under contract for the 2003 season at $2.75 million, asked to see Brenly after Friday night's game to have his status clarified. It was then that Brenly told him he was being designated for assignment.
Strong performances by Koplove and Prinz cemented their spots in the bullpen. The club decided to go with the left-handed Randolph in part because of the way he pitched this spring, but also because he was out of minor league options and would likely have been claimed on waivers had he not made the club.
"We just felt like Bret Prinz and Mike Koplove both came into camp this year and did everything we asked them to do," Brenly said. "Obviously we were going to lose Stephen Randolph if we didn't keep him. He's got a good enough fastball that he can make a hitter swing and miss. His breaking stuff is very crisp. The only concern was his consistency in the strike zone, but as camp went on, he got much better at that as well."
Having to deliver the bad news Saturday clearly took its toll on Brenly.
"Mike Jackson is a dear friend of mine and it's days like this you hate the job," he said. "This is a day you wake up dreading in the morning."

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Toledo Public Schools dedicated their day to lifting the spirits of the Toledo Fire Department on Friday.
Gratitude is often hard to measure. On Friday, students wanted to give firefighters something they could see and feel.
"We're talking about 500 chains, attached," said Superintendent Dr. Romules Durant. "We have it running all the way throughout the building."
Firefighters from Station 25 weaved their way through the chain that went around corners and down halls.
"Coming here and actually seeing these kids and the dedication and the love coming from them to try to support us in our time of need has been just overwhelming," said Lt. John Scouten. "It's brought me to tears more here, than anywhere else, to see those kids and knowing that they are out there, just supporting me and looking up to us."
On Sunday, Privates Stephen Machcinski and James Dickman died battling a fire in north Toledo. The gravity of what happened is not lost on the students.
"These kids will leave out of here today, and many of them will be firefighters themselves," Durant said. "Just by understanding the sacrifice given, and they are willing to recycle that sacrifice."
The firefighters are forever grateful.
"We're always used to giving," Lt. Scouten said. "We're not in the position of receiving all the time, and to see them giving back to us, it's hard to accept."

Print and screen pixel peeping are 2 separate things... I think the pixel peeping is a dis-service for the camera as printing is what canon is aiming viewers to be excited about... the final product... not on peoples monitors blown up to 200% looking to find ways to tear apart their products... If you do that with the 5d2 or 3, I got news for you... you'll find noise too...
Read again... I wasn't blowing these "up to 200%". I am looking at the whole photo on my screen. Not zooming at all (ie I can see the edges of the photo). I am _not_ "pixel peeping" (I am _not_ looking at the photos at 1:1 with my screen. Just viewing the photo like anyone would.
Everyone: Print is only one final avenue for my prints. Most often they are enjoyed on high resolution monitors.
I agree that none of the noise present in the shots I've posted would not show up in any reasonably sized print.
The point is that I paid $1500 and am receiving _inferior_ quality at ISO 100-200 to the camera I bought 3 years ago for $700. THAT IS NOT GOOD.
No other arguments need to be made.
For my purposes (and for others who are interested in landscape photography) this body does not work.
As for the actual quality of some of the photos I posted: I totally agree guys... I wasn't taking any time at all to actually take attractive photos here. Any CA would have been fixed in lightroom (fixed automatically by just turning on lens adjustments). Blurring, etc would be fixed with tripods, etc. Please stay on target and talk about the noise.
The last photo I posted this morning was shot handheld at 1/1000 in bright daylight. There is no noticeable blurring in the photo beyond a bit of softening at the edges which is normal for this lens.
I can't even believe how far some people go to justify this stuff. There is no way I could keep this camera with this output for landscape photography. The first time I wanted to do a 25% crop (by which I mean crop down to a piece of the photo that is taking up approximately 25% of the original space) of a once in a lifetime photo SHOT AT ISO 100 I would want to blow my brains out.
When shooting at low ISO you should NEVER have to apply NR (or at least not much depending on how much you've cropped) and you should feel free to crank up the sharpness. Anything less is unacceptable.

Lunch with a group of surprisingly social people whose goal in life is to move to Mars
Subscriber content preview. or Sign In
There are a lot of places I want to visit, all of which happen to be on Earth. Also, not one of them stipulates that I have to stay there until I die. Yet more than 200,000 people have completely different vacation requirements, filling out a long application and paying a fee to a Dutch nonprofit organization called Mars One, hoping to be one of four chosen to take a one-way trip to Mars in 2024. I wouldn't go to Vegas for a weekend with three strangers chosen by a group called Mars One.
Mars One has narrowed its applicant pool to 1,058 of what I have to imagine are the least social people in the world.

Legislature approves Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, but will Brown sign it this time?
The California Legislature today gave final approval to the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, legislation sponsored by Assemblymember Tom Ammiano (D-SF) to finally extend some labor rights to this largely female and immigrant workforce. Advocates are hopeful that Gov. Jerry Brown will sign it this time.
As we reported in a Guardian cover story in March, "Do we care?," domestic and farm workers are the only two categories of employees exempted from federal labor law, and the caregiving professions are consistently undervalued in our economic and political systems. Last year, Brown vetoed the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, expressing the concern that it might hurt the economy and cost jobs.
But advocates for the measure came back even stronger this year than last, and they recently accepted a set of amendments in the Senate that weaken the bill but may make it more palatable to Gov. Brown, including eliminating the requirement for rest and meal breaks and giving the measure a three-year sunset and commission to review its impacts.
"We've had discussions with the administration and we think we're on the right track to get it signed," Ammiano's Press Secretary Carlos Alcala told the Guardian.
He emphasized that the bill still retains the requirement that domestic workers, who routinely work more than 40 hours per week, are entitled to overtime pay, something that Ammiano also emphasized in a prepared statement.
"This is a historic moment," Ammiano said. "This now goes to the governor for his signature. That will give these workers, mostly women, the right to be paid fairly for overtime worked."
Katie Joaquin, campaign coordinator the California Domestic Workers Coalition, said she's excited to see the bill pass and hopeful that Brown will sign it this time.
"If he signs this bill, California would be the first state to give daily overtime rights to all domestic workers," she said, referring to its requirement that domestic workers get overtime pay after working nine hours in a day, the same standard as now applies to live-in caregivers.
While she said it was hard to accept some of the amendments, such as removing the requirement that domestic workers get uninterrupted time for a full night's sleep, she said they were acceptable conditions for this initial reform measure. And she said the sunset provision could actual work in their favor: "We plan to take that as an opportunity to fight for even more."
The bill, AB241, was approved by the Assembly today on a 48-25 vote to concur with the amendment made in the Senate. Gov. Brown has until Oct. 13 to sign it.
Especially the overtime requirement.
Of course, actually demanding overtime pay could just lead to the family hiring somebody else less petulant. Domestic workers don't really have a lot of leverage as so many of the arrangements are informal.
And often the workers are illegals and so reluctant to assert their "rights".
