Amarillo, TX - The ongoing historic drought decimated crops across the nation, and now Texas corn growers are asking the federal government to ease up on current ethanol production requirements to offset the cost of doing business.
In 2005, the Environmental Protection Agency instituted the Renewable Fuel Standard Program, which set a minimum on the amount of alternative fuels to be blended with traditional gasoline.
The minimum for corn-based ethanol has steadily increased over the years to the current requirement that 13.8 billion gallons be introduced to the fuel supply over the next ten years.
However, because of substantially lower corn yields, U.S. ethanol production is projected to fall by 10 percent in the coming year, according to both the University of Missouri and the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute.
Lower yields have led to record-high corn prices, which affects industries ranging from livestock production to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and of course, fuel.
Wesley Spurlock, a Stratford corn producer and a board member of the National Corn Growers Association, broke down the distribution, saying, "Thirty-four percent of the corn that's being produced in the U.S. right now goes to livestock; about thirty-eight, thirty-nine percent goes to ethanol. But of the thirty-nine percent that is going to ethanol production, a third of that is going back to livestock as a distiller's grain as a high-value feed product."
Earlier this week, Governor Rick Perry joined the governors of seven other states in petitioning the EPA to relax the current minimum on grounds it creates undue financial hardship for farmers, ranchers, and livestock producers.
Texas Agrilife Risk Management Specialist DeDe Jones summed up the situation, saying, "Corn prices are at all-time record highs, so his (Perry's) argument is that if we reduce the Renewable Fuel Standards or waive them for one year, then that should drop feed prices and it should be better for the nation's cattle producers. There's been two studies on that - one out of the University of Iowa and the other out of Purdue, and they're saying that relaxing those for this year is going to have a minimal effect on corn prices."
After a thirty-day waiting period, the EPA is scheduled to make a decision by late November.
Experts say that corn prices are only one factor in gasoline prices, so any effect on the price of gas would be negligible.

Here's What Your Listeners Want From Social Media
We live in a world today that is dominated on a person level by companies that use technology to handle their customers. Average consumers can feel that companies want their money and not the work of dealing with them. Imagine it: customer avoidance through technology. This causes the general population extreme frustration, but it is generally accepted as the new normal.
Have you ever been on the phone screaming in a selection into voice prompts because you are frustrated you cant ever seem to get a person on the phone? Your listeners are having these experiences and the frustration is higher than ever.
Customers and listeners want to be recognized and respected. They want to be validated in todays world. This is why social media is so popular and it is also why people are retracting to trust mostly or only advice from their own circle of friends. They dont trust companies. It is also why your radio personalities should be in the front of every social media philosophy you have today. People care about people. They dont want to be handled by technology.
Here are five (5) Steps to give listeners what they want from YOUR social media:
1. Listen to how listeners interact with radio stations and radio personalities in social media. Do this before you do anything else. This is not about only looking at the interactions on your radio stations Facebook page. Look at competitors and stations in your format all across the country.
2. Recognize listeners when they make themselves known in any way in your social media. Reach out to them in the public platform of their choice and follow up with them via email as well.
3. Let listeners know that your product is populated by actual people. This may seem simple (and it may be difficult for some radio stations that are mostly voice tracked from other places). But it is important. Dont do the corporate thing; make your social media as personal as possible.
4. Give them the baby. Media has become intensely focused on the tease. Teasing is important for our purposes, but your overall social media plan should involve a strategy that does NOT simply tease them all the time. Sometimes you should make it easy for them to get what they want immediately. This is part of having a specific plan for your whole social media efforts.
5. Keep your focus them. Make sure your content is focused on their benefit. It is so easy to fall prey to what humans do all the time: Talk about ourselves. Be careful to point your voice toward giving participators benefits important to your listeners. If you really want to encourage true participation with your brand in social media, you must make sure your engagement is truly the opposite of the experiences people are having with these corporations who handle their relationships with customers from a distance.
You must focus your efforts to make your engagement as personal as you can possibly make it. That will take effort, but is certainly is not impossible. Radio performs best when we are a great companion. Give people the opportunity to connect with you and make them feel important in a world that largely does the opposite. Do this and you will see excellent results in social media that leads to better engagement, better loyalty and better ratings.

Alvaro Saborio has had a wildly inconsistent season and hasn't performed well during Real Salt Lake's recent skid, but he was the man of the match on Saturday, scoring a hat trick as RSL broke their four-game winless streak. After an uneventful first half against the Portland Timbers, he came alive in the second half and scored all three goals in his team's 3-0 victory.
The first two goals came in quick succession, with Portland's defense looking completely out of sorts on both occasions. Kyle Beckerman set up Saborio for the opener in the 60th minute with a lofted ball from the center of the pitch into the penalty area. Saborio easily out-jumped Futty Danso and placed a header perfectly at the far post, putting RSL ahead. Less than two minutes later, he beat the entire Portland defense to a well-placed Chris Wingert cross and finished easily to solidify his team's lead.
Diego Chara went into meltdown mode shortly thereafter. He made a nasty challenge on Javier Morales in the 66th minute, for which he picked up a yellow card. In the 73rd minute, Chara handled the ball in the penalty area, leading to a penalty kick and a sending off. Saborio stepped up and converted, completing his hat trick.
Real Salt Lake kept the ball in Portland's half for the rest of the game and forced Troy Perkins into multiple saves, but didn't find another goal. Not that they needed it, they were just being big meanies at that point anyway.

LONDON (AP) -- The field inside London's Olympic Stadium is not up to Premier League standards and will have to be ripped up after the games using public funds to enable a soccer team to use the venue.
The 486 million pound ($767 million) stadium has been built without the under-soil heating required in England to stage top soccer matches.
West Ham would have paid up to 2 million pounds ($3.16 million) to install a new field with underground heating, but its long-term tenancy agreement was ripped up last year due to legal challenges.
Instead, the Olympic Park Legacy Company told The Associated Press it will have to pay for the post-games transformation of the stadium, which West Ham could just rent.

What is a Neuropsychological Evaluation?
Seemingly minor changes in the brain can have a large effect on thinking, emotions and behavior. These changes may be due to a number of medical, neurological, psychological, or genetic causes. Testing is usually recommended when there are symptoms or complaints in these areas to determine if there is an underlying brain disorder. A typical neuropsychological evaluation covers many areas of brain function, and involves assessment of the following:
- Attention and concentration
- Memory and learning
- Language
- Visual-spatial skills (e.g., perception)
- Motor and sensory skills
- Intellectual functioning
- Higher level executive skills (e.g., sequencing, reasoning, problem solving)
- Mood and personality
Some abilities may be measured in more detail than others depending on the needs of the individual. The evaluation takes several hours of testing, as well as several hours to score,interpret and write the report. Testing is typically completed in one to two visits, with results and recommendations available in approximately two to four weeks after the last visit.
Neuropsych Testing Center Brochure
What Will The Results Reveal?
Test results can be used to understand your situation in a number of ways.
- Neuropsychological testing can identify weaknesses in specific areas. It is very sensitive to mild memory and thinking problems that might not be obvious in other ways. When problems are mild, testing may be the best way to detect them. Testing may also be used to identify problems related to medical conditions that can affect memory and thinking, such as diabetes, metabolic or infectious diseases, or alcoholism.
- Neuropsychological test results can help with school and occupational training, as well as aid in differentiating among diagnoses. This is important because appropriate treatment depends on accurate diagnosis. The pattern of strengths and weaknesses on testing can be helpful in determining which areas of the brain might be involved and what diagnosis is most accurate.
- Sometimes testing is used to establish a "baseline" or document a person's skills before there is any problem. In this way, later changes can be measured very objectively.
What Should Be Expected?
A neuropsychological evaluation usually consists of an interview and testing. During the interview, information that is important for the Neuropsychologist to consider will be reviewed. The individual will be asked about symptoms, medical history, medications, and other important factors. Testing involves taking paper-and-pencil or computerized tests and answering questions. These tests are typically administered by a Neuropsychological Testing Assistant, who may be an intern or post-doctoral student, working under the supervision of the Neuropsychologist. Common conditions that may warrant a Neuropsychological Evaluation:
- Suspected or confirmed brain injury
- Stroke
- Concussion
- Brain tumor
- Dementia / Alzheimer's
- Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis or other neurological conditions
- Epilepsy
Who is Eligible for Neuropsychological Evaluations?
Individuals who:
- Are medically stable
- Can demonstrate a way to pay for our services
Funding for Neuropsychological Evaluations
We accept most insurance plans including:
- MaineCare
- Medicare B
- Anthem, Cigna, Aetna and other commercial insurers
- Workers' Compensation
- Private Pay

Public defenders in Beauregard Parish are suing the sheriff's office there-- because they say they cannot meet privately with clients in jail. The suit says that violates the rights of the accused, including their right to remain silent.
Beauregard Public Defender David Wallace draws on a yellow legal pad to show how the nurse's room at the jail might be remodeled. so public defenders could share the space and still have privacy for their clients.
"We were asking them to put a separate entrance way into this room and basically, shut it off from any traffic that would be going into the nurse's room. In other words, using the same space, but just putting some partitions up," explained chief Beauregard Public Defender David Wallace, showing a diagram he's drawn on a yellow legal padAnyone charged with a crime has the right to an attorney, and if they cannot afford one, one will be appointed. But public defenders in Beauregard Parish say their clients rights are being violated-- because attorney client meetings in the Beauregard Jail are often not private.
Wallace says members of law enforcement often come and go while PDO attorneys or staff are meeting with defendants.
"We just need to have something private that we know we're going to have available each and every time that we or our representative is there," said Wallace.Another problem says Wallace, is that after clients invoke their right against self incrimination, he says law officers sometimes still question the inmates."We even have one event where our representative was actually in the jail, had just interviewed and our office had been appointed and then detectives came down and said, 'We need to interview Mr. So and so.' And she said, 'No, he has a lawyer.' And they said, 'Well, he can tell us that upstairs,' and took him upstairs. And once you say that, I want to assert my fifth amendment privilege, my appreciation of the law suggests that law enforcement shouldn't be interviewing you without permission of counsel for sure," said Wallace.Also, the suit says the sheriff's office should be held in contempt of court since it's been more than two years since the judges ordered that a private meeting space be provided. "This amended order was signed October 11, 2011. We also asked the court, as a possible sanction, against the sheriff's office, to be held in contempt," said Wallace.Sheriff Ricky Moses says they don't' discuss pending lawsuits. There's a hearing on the lawsuit at 3 p.m. Tuesday in DeRidder. To hear more of our interview with David Wallace look for our web extra at kplctv dot com.

Gwent sees biggest fall in crime across England and Wales again
Updated 10:04am Friday 25th January 2013 in News By David Deans, Reporter
GWENT Police has reported the largest fall in recorded crime in England and Wales yet again.
New figures have been released for the 12 months to September 2012 show the number of crimes recorded by police fell by 20 per cent compared to the previous 12 months.
There were 8,492 fewer crimes, or around 22 fewer crimes per day.
It is the fifth quarter in a row that Gwent Police has seen the largest or joint largest fall in overall crime, year-on-year.
The only category of crime to see an increase was drug offences, where there was a 12 per cent increase from 2,465 to 2,767.
The largest percentage decrease was seen in fraud and forgery crimes with the number of incidents falling by more than half, from 1,259 to 549.
The number of violent incidents which resulted in injury dropped by 27 per cent from 4,278 to 3,128 crimes, while burglaries fell by a quarter to 4,838 from 6,409.
Offences against vehicles fell by almost a third from 5,602 to 3,867, while 108 fewer sexual offence incidents were recorded; down from 590 to 482.
Assistant Chief Constable Simon Prince attributed the falls to a "relentless focus" on persistent offenders as well as work on neighbourhood policing.
"Their job is to build relationships with people so they are confident to tell them what's going on in their communities," he said.
Mr Prince added: "The more we reduce crime clearly the more challenging that work becomes. We are confident that the next time these figures are published we will see a continued reduction in crime."
Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner Ian Johnston said: "The figures published today are welcome news and I congratulate the Chief Constable and her team for their hard work and dedication."
Police records 'overstate' crime fall – Statistics office POLICE records across England and Wales are overstating the rate that crime is falling, according to the Office of National Statistics.
The ONS, which is based in Newport and compiled yesterday's crime figures, said police recorded crime in England and Wales fell by 41 per cent since 2002/03.
But the Crime Survey for England and Wales, which records households' experience of crime, saw a 26 per cent fall over the same period.
The ONS said police records appear to "overstate the true rate in which crime has been falling".
Mr Prince said he could see was no evidence there was anything the force was doing to paint a false picture.
"We haven't changed any of our processes that would mean that we weren't recording as many crimes as we previous were," he said.

That is not the same as saying less crimes have been committed.

Perhaps people need to air their views:
Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner Ian Johnston is inviting residents to have their say on policing.
As part of his responsibilities the commissioner must creat Police and Crime Plan which will shape how policing priorities and criminal justice will be achieved across Gwent.
A draft copy of the plan has been produced based on feedback and comments previously provided by residents and organisations.
Mr Johnston said: "Throughout 2012, the Police Authority consulted with the public and strategic partners on the proposed police and crime priorities and the results have been used in the production of the first draft police and crime plan for Gwent.
"I believe it is important that local residents have the chance to tell me what they think of the draft plan. This can be downloaded from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner website or residents can contact my office to request a hard copy."
"As I outlined during my election campaign I'm fully committed to delivering an excellent policing service that Gwent residents can be proud of and one which puts victims at the centre.

For the immediate moment Gwent Police management can indulge itself in what it would regard as a well deserved bout of back slapping. I would urge some caution though, as the message that the Home office and government is consistently now getting, is that by implementing significant budget cuts, getting rid of some of the workforce and closing down police stations etc, you can drastically reduce reported crime, which is all that currently matters to the politically minded in London, who are already busy planning the next election. The citizens of Gwent may yet reap some unexpected consequences of this 'success story' in the not so distant future. What politician would give Gwent Police any additional funding for instance, when it is clearly managing so very well on its lonesome despite fairly severe budget cuts!

Boy, 4, found in East Lancs animals horror house
4:00pm Friday 4th April 2014 in News By Jessica Cree , Crime reporter
A FOUR-YEAR-OLD boy found in 'absolute squalor' at a house with 20 uncaged ferrets and 14 dogs needed treatment in a hospital's high dependency unit.
The youngster, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was discovered on a mattress by a police officer at the house in East Lancashire, which also had two dead birds in cages.
A court heard how the child had been living in appalling conditions for two months, with rubbish, rancid food and animal faeces on the floor.
His mother was sentenced yesterday to two years in prison for neglecting her son.
- 'Notorious' East Lancs cocaine kingpin's life of luxury
- Emergency services called after man spotted in Nelson canal
- Shock at East Lancs cot-death statistics
- Woman charged with murder of Blackburn man
PC Lloyd Jones who found the boy said the conditions were 'the worst he had ever seen', the court was told.
He had only been visiting the house as part of an investigation about a missing dog.
But when he went into the property, he found the youngster, who had a condition which meant he needed a feeding tube to his stomach, with a serious bacterial infection to an open wound on his torso.
The boy was taken immediately to the high dependency unit at the Royal Blackburn Hospital for treatment.
Judge Anthony Russell QC, the recorder at Preston Crown Court, said it was a 'bad example' of this type of case.
He said: "The neglect was over a period of two months and appears to have commenced when you moved from one home to another.
"The child is only able to take food through a gastric tube. You lived alone with him and a very large number of animals.
"The police called at your home about a missing dog and came across a scene of absolute squalor.
"The house was filthy with rubbish, food stuffs and animal faeces everywhere.
"I have seen the photographs and it is shocking that anyone can let a house get into that state.
"An experienced police officer described the conditions as the worst he had ever seen."
Judith McCullough, defending, told the court her client, 21, had been suffering from depression.
She said: "The circumstances in which she found herself were escalating and worsening as time went on and of course, in addition also had a child who required more care than perhaps some other children may have done.
"She accepts that she failed to care for him in the way she ought to have done.
"She has shown genuine remorse and she picked herself up by the bootstraps and has made efforts to move forward.
"She is well aware she might receive a custodial sentence and has written a letter to her son to be read to him if it is the case.
"There will be no repeat of this behaviour. That does not mean she is not a young woman who clearly requires support and to examine what went wrong during the last part of last year."
But Judge Russell told the defendant, who had pleaded guilty to a charge of child neglect at an earlier hearing: "Although it has been argued that there was a lack of support available to you, I do not accept that argument because you had previously had support and knew it was available.
"I do accept that you have had a difficult history. I also accept that you now acknowledge that your care was inadequate.
"Such mitigation cannot extinguish the fact that this was very serious neglect."
Speaking after the hearing, a spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "Cases like this which involve the ill-treatment of young children are always very hard to deal with, but we welcome this sentence.
"This was a particularly appalling case of child neglect involving a vulnerable four-year-old boy who was living in truly shocking conditions.
"The house was in a completely uninhabitable state for anyone, let alone a small child, and thankfully he is now being looked after properly."

Essex — Karin N. (Hurd) Symmes, 90, died peacefully at her home in Essex on Tuesday, January 8, 2013. She was the loving wife of Thayne Symmes, with whom she shared over seventy years of marriage.
Born in Lynn on March 2, 1922, she was the daughter of the late Raymond and Greta (Green) Hurd. She was raised and educated in Danvers and was a graduate of Holten High School, Class of 1940. She resided in Danvers for most of her life and she and her family enjoyed their summer home in Essex, where she and her husband retired in 1991.
Karin was a homemaker who enjoyed knitting, sewing and quilting and was a member of the Crossroads Quilters and a charter member of Bewitching Stitchers Smocking Guild. She was a longtime volunteer at the Topsfield Fair and was active with the Essex Council on Aging, the Friends of the Essex Council on Aging, and the Essex Senior Club. In the past, she and her husband also enjoyed square dancing. She and Thayne were very involved in the origin of the Danvers Chapter Order of DeMolay and she was active in the DeMolay Mothers' Group.
She was a long-time, active member of the Calvary Episcopal Church, including the Altar Guild, the Young Married Couples Club and many other service groups. Karin loved her family and many of her activities revolved around them. One of her grandchildren wrote: "Nanie will be remembered fondly by family and friends for her deliciously baked treats, her amazing laugh, her beautiful quilts and knitting projects generously given to others, her honest opinions on things, and her uncanny ability to always keep perfect count of the constantly growing number of grandchildren and great grandchildren in her family. She will be very missed."
In addition to her husband, she is survived by her children, Susan Emerson of South Portland, Maine, Linda Monagle and her husband, Paul of Essex, Bruce Symmes and his wife, Cathy of Danvers, Keith Symmes and his wife, Faith of Essex; and daughter-in-law, Sally Symmes of Danvers; and her grandchildren, Erik and Brian Emerson and Laurel Peterson, Melissa West, Matthew Symmes and Rebecca Lee, Amanda, Katie, Jason Symmes and Meghan Beaulieu, Dennis, Julie, and Madeline Monagle; Jessica Bowen, Jenny Giolas and Judson Symmes; 22 great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.

'Will never be another Pat Summitt'
College's all-time winningest coach relinquishes reins at UT
KNOXVILLE -- In stepping down as Tennessee women's basketball coach, Pat Summitt's new role as head coach emeritus at least helps soften the transition for her.
"I think it's real safe landing place for her," said former UT assistant Mickie DeMoss, who left the staff earlier this month to become an assistant with the WNBA's Indiana Fever. "It's a position where she still can stay involved but it lets her manage her time better. I think that's something she probably needed to start doing."
After a season of coaching while also battling early onset dementia, Alzheimer's type, Summitt thought about her future and the program's stability in reaching her decision. Former associate head coach Holly Warlick completed the historic transition on Wednesday by becoming the new coach -- UT's first since Summitt took over in 1974-75 and amassed 1,098 victories and eight national championships in the ensuing 38 years.
"I feel really good about my decision," the 59-year-old Summitt told the News Sentinel in a phone interview. "Holly and I will work really well together."
No contract information was available in conjunction with Wednesday's announcement. Warlick's annual salary was $204,000 while Summitt's total compensation package for the 2011-12 season was $1.5 million. She had two years left on her contract that included a $1 million bonus if she completed 40 seasons with the Lady Vols.
Warlick was unavailable for comment. A press conference is scheduled for this afternoon at Thompson-Boling Arena in which Summitt and Warlick will appear together.
Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart lauded Summitt's legacy as "well-defined and everlasting."
"Just like there will never be another John Wooden, there will never be another Pat Summitt,'' Hart said in a school release. "I look forward to continuing to work with her in her new role. She is an inspiration to everyone."
After announcing her diagnosis last August, Summitt continued to coach with the blessing of university officials. In the wake of her announcement, Warlick assumed a bigger role, taking on many of the responsibilities normally reserved for the head coach.
"I feel like Holly's been doing the bulk of it,'' Summitt said. "She deserves to be the head coach. I'm going to support her. No doubt, I'll be there for her."
Warlick will be making her head coaching debut after spending the past 27 seasons as a UT assistant, a tenure that began with the 1985-86 season. While acknowledging the difficulties of her revised role during the season, Warlick, a former Lady Vols point guard, seemed more comfortable in her role late in the season. If so, Summitt was a big reason why.
"She was very complimentary of me and so that to me means so much and to these kids because I'm doing something in front of the best coach in the world,'' Warlick said before the NCAA tournament. "And I'm not trying to be Pat Summitt. I'm trying to take what she's given me and carry on with this team."
Hart said that Warlick has earned her opportunity.
"I watched Holly grow tremendously as a coach throughout this past season,'' he said. "Under unique circumstances, the job she did away from the glare of the lights and crowds was as impressive as the job she did during game action."
Tennessee's season ended with a 77-58 loss to eventual national champion Baylor in the final of the Des Moines (Iowa) Regional.
Since reaching 1,000 victories in 2009, Summitt has stood alone at that victory plateau among all NCAA coaches.
Gene Bess, the men's coach at Three Rivers Community College in Poplar Bluff, Mo., has 1,152 victories at the junior college level.
Earlier this month, senior Glory Johnson became the 21st player coached by Summitt to be named an All-American.
Summitt has two basketball courts named after her -- one at Thompson-Boling Arena and the other at her alma mater, UT Martin. She also has a street named after her on both campuses.

SchoolNet Namibia promotes OSS with comics
If you want to promote the use of open source software, you might like this innovative approach out of Africa – comic strips.
The not-for-profit group SchoolNet Namibia [1] learned the hard way that narrowing the digital divide is not done simply by providing schools in developing countries with computers running open source software and some basic training. When trainers left the schools after the two-month training period, most of the computers collected dust, mainly because the teachers – mostly women – would not use them. To remedy the situation, SchoolNet Namibia, in cooperation with the comic artists of Strika Entertainment [2], The Namibian newspaper [3], and the Johannesburg-based South African Linux distributor OpenLab International [4], launched "Hai Ti!", a comic strip that recently turned two years old. The comic strip title means "Listen up!" in the Namibian language Oshiwambo.

When we first met Zach, he was an 8th grader living in an emergency children's shelter. Now, he's getting ready to start 10th grade and is in a good foster home, but he's still holding out hope he'll be part of a forever home one day.
When we check in with Zach we found out that he was recently surprised by Chargers Quarterback Philip Rivers. Rivers made good on a promise to autograph a football for Zach.
The two met up at a recent photo shoot for the 2014 Join the Team calendar, a partnership between the Chargers, San Diego County Adoptions and Adopt 8 to raise awareness about the need for adoptive families. But Zach was not expecting the star quarterback to remember him or the football.
"It's, it's special, it's something new. It's not every day you have somebody that important remembering something so little," said Zach.
Zach is a pretty unforgettable kid, so kind and engaging, I first met him a year and half ago.
Zach was in his element at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center.
A science wiz, it was as if, Zach was hosting our playdate, excited to introduce me to the different exhibits.
"And there's something over there I would like to show you, it has a lot of gears."
"He is very mature, he's very intelligent, very engaging, he'll walk up to adults, start a conversation, very friendly. I've noticed several times, he'll compliment people out of the blue, very caring," said protective services worker Jamey McCormick.
And when I asked Zach, just how badly he wanted a forever family, this is what he told me:
"On a scale from 1 to 10, I'd say about a 10."
It's been about 18 months since our last visit and Zach has changed.
"Yeah, I've grown about five to six inches," he said.
But the one thing that remains the same is his desire to be part of a forever family.
Zach tells me he is grateful for his foster family, close friends he's made and the good school he attends, but what he ultimately longs for is that feeling of belonging and unconditional love from a forever family.
If you're interested in adopting or becoming a foster family, call 1-877-I-ADOPT-U during regular business hours.

For a 14th straight year, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) is conducting fan voting for 2012's "Moment of the Year" at www.ntra.com and once again there's no shortage of nominees.
There are 12 possibilities, ranging in chronological order from Rosie Napravnik becoming the first female jockey to win the Kentucky Oaks (G1) to Shackleford closing out his career with a victory in the Clark Handicap (G1). There are some excellent choices and if the vote was for the Split Second of the Year it would certainly be that instant when Alpha and Golden Ticket hit the wire together for the first dead heat in the Travers (G1) since 1874.
But we're talking about a moment or an experience and if there was one that will outlast all of the others in racing lore it would have to be No. 4: "On the eve of a highly anticipated Triple Crown bid, I'll Have Another is scratched from the Belmont Stakes (G1)."
Better yet, a more accurate answer would be the lead-in and running of the 2012 Belmont Stakes.
In more than 40 years of following horse racing, I've seen Triple Crown sweeps and Triple Crown near-misses. Undefeated horses and those that miss out on perfection in the final strides of their final race. Wins by a nose and wins by 31 lengths.
Never, though, has there been anything to match the cascade of emotions rolled into this year's Belmont Stakes.
When night fell on Belmont Park on Thursday, June 7, two days before the Belmont Stakes, everything was in place for an epic moment. I'll Have Another needed a successful mile and a half jaunt around beautiful Belmont to become the 12th Triple Crown champion and anticipation was at a fever pitch for the first sweep in 34 years.
The following day, Belmont Stakes eve, is normally as quiet as a church mouse but that particular day a murmur in the morning turned into an uproar at noon. Whispers that something was amiss with I'll Have Another sparked a media frenzy that culminated with a wild scene in Belmont's stable area where it was hastily announced that the Kentucky Derby/Preakness winner was being retired with a tendon injury.
For the first time in recent modern racing history, a Triple Crown bid was not stopped by fatigue or a fresh rival. A misjudged ride or a muddy track. It was thwarted by an injury that prevented a hopeful from walking into the starting gate.
In an instant all of the drama came out of the Belmont Stakes like the suspense from a movie when a spoiler alert is ignored. Yet the Belmont Stakes proved to be anything but anti-climactic.
The race was a dazzler, with the pacesetting Paynter leading at the quarter pole. In the stretch, he turned aside a bid from the outside by Atigun, but then John Velazquez drove Union Rags through a narrow hole on the rail to win in dramatic fashion by a neck.
For the connections of the runner-up it marked a Triple Crown sweep in the heartbreak department. With Paynter encountering the same fate as Bodemeister in the Derby and Preakness, owner Zayat Stables, trainer Bob Baffert and jockey Mike Smith had finished second in all three legs of the series.
Yet for a race that was rocked with such a bitter dose of disappointment on its eve, there at least some redemption. As it turned out, there was an uplifting sensation in seeing that it was won by trainer Michael Matz, whose last Triple Crown victory had come with the ill-fated Barbaro in the 2006 Kentucky Derby.
Union Rags' owner, Phyllis Wyeth, was also a highly deserving winner. At the age of 71, she has spent nearly 50 years dealing with the crippling effects of a car accident that now has her restricted to a wheelchair. Yet she has never allowed her handicap to dominate her life and her indomitable will has made her an inspiration to all who know her.
Together Matz and Wyeth provided a happy ending, something that seemed impossible a day earlier. It was quite a moment. A moment of the year – and a lot more than that.
What are your thoughts? Check out the list at www.ntra.com and let's hear which one is your moment of the year.

Leather and nylon Hockney low top sneakers
Size and Fit
Material: Nylon, Leather
Brand: Clae
Origin: Imported
Designer Sung Choi got the idea for Clae, his back-to-basics footwear label, while working at DC Shoes in the late 1990s. Choi realized that he wanted to strip away the trinkets and extraneous details adorning so many sneaker styles of that era, and bring about a more refined sensibility. The result was Clae and its concept of "athleisure." Clae combined casual silhouettes and the supreme comfort of athletic shoes to create styles like white patent leather sneakers, canvas low-tops, and the Russell suede high-tops. Choi names Clae's goods after Steve McQueen, Sonny Rollins, Jacques Cousteau, Romare Bearden, and other personalities he admires — adding a touch of history to your step.

With the Inspiron 11 3000, Dell delivers an everyday ultraportable hybrid with an excellent battery life at a good price.
With fewer brands to choose from, Keurig 2.0 is more restrictive than the last generation, and the K500 doesn't do much to make up for it. As upgrades go, this one doesn't make sense.
Although the Sony Xperia M2 looks pretty slick, it's let down by its low resolution display and its old version of Android, which makes even its affordable price way too high. For much less money, you could snap up the Moto G or spend a little more and pick up the older Xperia Z with its full HD display and waterproof design.
The latest in a line of sub-$500 ILC announcements this spring, Nikon's cheapest model certainly doesn't skimp on the performance specs.
If you're looking for a reliable, no-frills electric range with a fashionably modern look, this Whirlpool fits the bill.
Here's everything we know about the mid-tier Android smartphone we saw at CES.
Pricing not available
For iPhone photographers who want to get closer to the world around you, this is the lens to do it with.
Sure, it costs a bundle, but the Sony Xperia Z2 is everything you should expect from a top-end phone. Its impressive performance rivals the Samsung Galaxy S5 for smartphone top dog, but the Z2's slick glass and metal design trumps the S5's plastic body. If you're looking for both style and substance from a phone, you've come to the right place.
Sony announced pricing and availability of its 4K-video-capable full-frame camera.
While the battery is a concern, the Xperia Z2 Tablet is still a good-looking slate that's loaded with more than enough power for anything you're likely to throw at it. It's a good choice if you're looking for a more affordable iPad alternative with 4G LTE -- particularly if you've ever lost a gadget through water damage.

As the mascot for the University of Alabama, elephants on T-shirts, hats and posters in this state are pretty common. But spotting real ones? Not so much.
Today was the exception, however, as a group of six circus elephants paraded down Birmingham streets near the BJCC. The lead elephant even showed some Crimson Tide pride by wearing an elephant-sized houndstooth hat in honor of Alabama's 15th national championship win.
At one point, the parade of pachyderms stopped at an intersection on 22nd Street North for a photo opp, and the lead elephant put his left foot on top of a football while holding an Alabama flag with his trunk.
[MORE PHOTOS: Circus elephants celebrate Alabama BCS win]
The elephants are part of the Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus, which arrived in Birmingham Wednesday morning. The BJCC will host the circus from Jan. 24-Jan. 27. Visit www.ringling.com for show times and ticket information.

When Chelsea brought Fernando Torres into the match, it might as well have been for defense. The Blues were down to 10 men and Barcelona were pouring on the pressure as Chelsea clung to a 2-2 aggregate draw that would have seen them through on away goals. Torres' play was even 100% defensive to start, falling even with the defense and holding the line as the Catalans scored, only to have it disallowed for offside. Clearly the best way to keep the ball from going in the net was to put Torres in front of it.
Then, this happened: He scored a goal. He did it for Chelsea. He did it for a 10-man team. He did it at the Camp Nou. He did it to book a spot in the Champions League final. The world broke.
Just to be sure, we checked to confirm that really happened. Scientists have confirmed that it really did. Torres scored the £50 million goal. Science.

AçıklamaA digital logbook from button taps. Create a well-formatted log entry in literally two seconds. A limited set of charting options allows you to explore your data. (DEMO VERSION AVAILABLE)
1. What to log
Keep track of Weight, Exercise, Mood, Steps, Meals, Transportation, Baby Habits, or keep a simple diary or journal. Include quantities, ratings, or text notes. Create a button and start collecting information!
2. Tap buttons to create log entries with timestamps
(see example screen-caps) Set buttons in advance, eliminate time wasted typing and deciphering poorly formatted notes, the data is collected in a consistent manner. With home-screen widgets Tap Log is probably the fastest way to collect data on a handheld device.
3. Review the data.
Review log entries in a compact, well-formatted list, organized by category. Send the log as a simple e-mail message. Export CSV file to other apps (i.e. GDocs, DropBox) or to your computer to create reports, and make complex charts of your own. Tap Log has a selection Charts for users to explore their data: Histograms by time of day and day of week, Pie Charts by subcategory, and by the amount of time subcategories were the last category logged (a time-card pattern). Chart days, weeks, and months. Save favorite charts. Share charts via Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc.
4. Fine-tune your data collection methods.
Use widgets to create log entries directly from the home screen. Easily edit buttons to make more categories (unlimited), create subcategories (limit 2), and add attributes you think would be helpful (i.e. rate each 'Restaurant' entry). Take advantage of your phone's features and log your GPS location with each entry.
5. Transfer Data to a new phone. (Instructions Below)
• Fast: Ditch the tiny keyboard!
• Organized: Avoid sifting through disorganized notes

[The following article first appeared on the author's web site, The Electronic Intifada, on March 31, prior to Barack Obama's final repudiation of Rev. Jeremiah Wright.]
[The following article first appeared on the author's web site, The Electronic Intifada, on March 31, prior to Barack Obama's final repudiation of Rev. Jeremiah Wright.]
US Senator Barack Obama was widely hailed for his 18 March speech calming the media furor about the sermons of his pastor for twenty years, Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Wright's remarks, Obama said, "expressed a profoundly distorted view of this country – a view that sees white racism as endemic, and that elevates what is wrong with America above all that we know is right with America; a view that sees the conflicts in the Middle East as rooted primarily in the actions of stalwart allies like Israel, instead of emanating from the perverse and hateful ideologies of radical Islam."
It might seem odd for Obama to mention
But for months, even before most Americans had heard of Wright, prominent pro-Israel activists were hounding Obama over Wright's views on
Since his early political life in
But Obama stressed that his appeal to Jewish voters also stems from his desire "to rebuild what I consider to be a historic relationship between the African American community and the Jewish community."
Obama has not addressed to a national audience why that relationship might have frayed. He was much more candid when speaking to Jewish leaders in
Obama implicitly admitted that Wright's views were rooted in opposition to Israel's deep ties to apartheid South Africa, and thus entirely reasonable even if Obama himself did "not necessarily," as he put it, share them. Israel supplied South Africa with hundreds of millions of dollars of weaponry despite an international embargo. Even the water cannons that South African forces used to attack anti-apartheid demonstrators in the townships were manufactured at Kibbutz Beit Alfa, a "socialist" settlement in northern Israel. Until the late 1980s, South Africa often relied on Israel to lobby Western governments not to impose sanctions.
And the relationship was durable. As The Washington Post reported in 1987, "When it comes to Israel and South Africa, breaking up is hard to do." Israeli officials, the newspaper said, "face conflicting imperatives: their desire to get in line with the West, which has adopted a policy of mild but symbolic sanctions, versus Israel's longstanding friendship with the Pretoria government, a relationship that has been important for strategic, economic and, at times, sentimental reasons" ("An Israeli Dilemma: S. African Ties; Moves to Cut Links Are Slowed by Economic Pressures, Sentiment," The Washington Post, 20 September 1987).
In 1987, Jesse Jackson, then the world's most prominent African American politician, angered some Jewish American leaders for insisting that "Whoever is doing business with South Africa is wrong, but Israel is … subsidized by America, which includes black Americans' tax money, and then it subsidizes South Africa" ("Jackson Draws New Criticism From Jewish Leaders Over Interview," Associated Press, 16 October 1987). As a presidential candidate, Jackson raised the same concerns in a high profile meeting with the Israeli ambassador, as did a delegation of black civil rights and religious leaders, including the nephew of Martin Luther King Jr, on a visit to Israel. For many African Americans, it was intolerable hypocrisy that so many Jewish leaders who staunchly supported Civil Rights and the anti-apartheid movement would be tolerant of Israel's complicity.
Thus, Reverend Wright, who has sought a broader understanding of the Middle East than one that blames Islam and Arabs for all the region's problems or endorses unconditional support for Israel, stood in the mainstream of African American opinion, not on some extremist fringe.
That is not to say that Jewish concerns about anti-Semitic sentiments among some African Americans should simply be dismissed. Racism in any community should be confronted. But as they have done with other communities, hard-line pro-Israel activists like Foxman have too often tried to tar any African American critic of Israel with the brush of anti-Semitism. Why must every black candidate to a major office go through the ritual of denouncing Farrakhan, a marginal figure in national politics who likely gets most of his notoriety from the ADL? Surely if anti-Semitism were such an endemic problem among African Americans, there would be someone other than Farrakhan for the ADL to have focused its ire on all these decades.
By contrast, neither Senator Joe Lieberman (Al Gore's running mate in 2000 and the first Jewish candidate on a major party presidential ticket), nor Senator John McCain have been required so publicly and so repeatedly to repudiate extremist and racist comments by Israeli leaders or some well-known radical Christian leaders supporting the Republican party. Foxman, whose organization devotes enormous resources to burnishing Israel's image, has rarely spoken out about the escalating anti-Arab racism and incitement to violence by prominent Israeli politicians and rabbis.
That is no surprise. African Americans, Arab Americans and Muslims all share some things in common: individuals are held collectively responsible for the words and actions of others in their community whether they had anything to do with them or not. And the price of admission to the political mainstream is to abandon any foreign policy goals that diverge from those of the pro-Israel, anti-Palestinian lobby.

Back to school means drivers must remember to obey laws dealing with school buses and school zones. Over the last few years, the Rules of the Road column has addressed many school-related questions from readers.
As a reminder, the most basic law is on a two-lane road you must stop in both directions for a school bus with its red lights flashing and/or stop sign out. The fine for passing a public school bus with its lights flashing is $394.
Here are some of the previous questions and answers about school-related traffic laws.
Question: What is the law regarding school buses stopped to pick up or discharge passengers on a four-lane (two lanes in each direction) road such as Guide Meridian?
Answer: Vehicles traveling in the opposite direction of the school bus do not need to stop. If you are going in the same direction as the bus, you must stop.
Q: When traveling to work in the morning there are times when a school bus has to stop at almost every house. I am aware of the law regarding not passing a school bus when the lights are flashing red, however is there any law stating that you can't pass it when the lights are not flashing?
A: As long as the roadway is marked to allow passing, it would be legal to pass the school bus if the red lights were not flashing. It may be difficult to perform a safe pass if the bus is stopping that frequently. It might be easier, and safer, to adjust the departure time for work by five minutes to avoid being behind the bus.
Q: When a school bus stops to board or drop off students, is there a lawful distance behind the bus to stop? The closest answer I have so far is to be able to see the rear tires of the bus where they touch the ground.
A: There is no required stopping distance behind a bus that I know of. Your idea of stopping far enough back to be able to see the rear tires is what I use when stopping behind all vehicles. This allows you room in case you have to maneuver around that vehicle or if you are struck from the rear.
Q: When passing through a school zone there are signs that list a decreased speed limit and say when "children are present." Does this statement mean when children are visible? Or does the speed limit decrease apply to the full school day hours regardless of children being visible to drivers?
A: I had to do some looking to find the actual definition of the wording, but here it is (see WAC 468-95-335):
The supplemental or lower panel of a School Speed Limit 20 sign which reads When Children are Present shall indicate to the motorist that the 20 mph school speed limit is in force under any of the following conditions:
1. Schoolchildren are occupying or walking within the marked crosswalk.
2. Schoolchildren are waiting at the curb or on the shoulder of the roadway and are about to cross the roadway by way of the marked crosswalk.
3. Schoolchildren are present or walking along the roadway, either on the adjacent sidewalk or, in the absence of sidewalks, on the shoulder within the posted school speed limit zone extending 300 feet, or other distance established by regulation, in either direction from the marked crosswalk.
Now that we have determined the meaning of these signs, remember that the school zones that have the flashing yellow lights are enforceable when the lights are flashing, whether there are any children in the area or not.

FEEL THE HEAT!! POWER YOGA is at the DRAGON GYM in Exton PA!!
What is Power Yoga?
Vinyasa flow or power yoga is a great way to stretch and strengthen the body. Power Yoga focuses on the victorious breath and flowing from pose to pose. The heat is on in the studio during class, but is not to be confused with Bikram Yoga or "hot Yoga". Heat provides your muscles with the ability to move more freely and stretch out your body.
Vinyasa is further broken down into a variety of styles that focus on inhaling and exhaling while performing parts of sequences at a fast, smooth pace. A common misconception of yoga is that you need to be flexible. You Don't! Most people who start yoga are not!
Yoga increases flexibility at your own pace. Moving at your own skill level, whether beginner or advanced is the key to a successful practice. Come feel the heat!
Yoga of any kind can provide essential benefits to your mind and body. Not only can you see results physically, but your stress level and mental health can benefit as well.
