Tuition on the Track community walkathon for financial aid
Letter from Kate Rubinstein '12 and Brooke Edelson '12
The English department developed the Agents of Change assignment 15 years ago, for the purpose of giving Catlin Gabel students an opportunity to employ their rhetorical skills to affect positive changes in the school community. For Kate's Agents of Change assignment, she proposed a school-wide community walkathon fundraiser designated to tuition assistance. She and Brooke have worked hard this year pursuing the idea and planning the event.
Dear Catlin Gabel families:
|Kate '12 and her 1st grade buddy, Ben, will see YOU on the track!
We are excited that the entire senior class passionately endorses Tuition on the Track and is helping us bring the walkathon to life.
The inaugural Tuition on the Track walkathon is on
Thursday, April 12, from 1 to 3 p.m.
Our goal for Tuition on the Track is to establish a new community tradition that follows in the footsteps of the Rummage Sale, which supported financial aid. We hope to raise $25,000 (one financial aid scholarship), while bridging school divisions and immersing the greater community in Catlin Gabel spirit.
Students in grades 1 through 12 will collect funds through an online pledge system and will be supported through a process similar to canvassing for the Rummage Sale. We are meeting with students in all divisions to explain the process and generate enthusiasm.
Our dream is for Tuition on the Track to become an annual tradition that makes it possible for students who could not otherwise attend Catlin Gabel to benefit from the exceptional academic and social experience our class has enjoyed together.
Thank you to all the students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni who are joining our effort. Thanks, especially, to the class of 2012, who have joined forces to organize the event and make this effort our senior class gift to the school.
Download the pledge form below. Print and complete the form as you canvass for pledges. Then enter the information online.
» Enter your pledge form data.
» Parents, enter pledges for your younger students here.

Thank you, sponsors!

Have you ever wondered about the story behind Pope Benedict XVI's famous red shoes or why all the cardinals are wearing caps that looks like yarmulkes? Find out what the pope wears and why.
Zuchetto: A skullcap that looks a lot like a Jewish yarmulke. They were originally worn to retain body heat, since priests used to have a ring of hair shaved off the tops of their heads, according to EWTN. Popes wear white zuchettos, cardinals wear red and bishops wear violet. Priests can wear black zuchettos when not celebrating Mass, but most don't.
Miter: A pointed hat worn by the pope, cardinals and bishops. It is removed during Masses.
Pallium: A white, circular piece of fabric draped over the neck with flaps hanging in the back and the front. It is worn while the pope celebrates Mass. This garment is unique to the pope.
Pectoral cross: A large cross suspended on a chain and worn over the chest. It is worn by popes, cardinals and bishops.
Fisherman's ring: This traditional ring has an image of the first pope, Peter, who was a fisherman, and the new pope's Latin name. The ring is used to seal documents and is destroyed when the pope leaves office.
Mozetta: A short cape worn over the shoulders that comes down to the elbows. Popes have red mozettas for most of the year, but wear white mozettas around Easter.
Papal shoes: The tradition of wearing red shoes dates back to 1566. Before that, the pope wore all red, but Pope Pius V was a Dominican who decided to keep his order's traditional white wear, keeping only the red shoes, cap and cape, according to NPR. Pope John Paul II decided to forgo the red shoes, but Pope Benedict XVI famously brought them back.
Ordinary dress: The pope's daily wear when he is not at a religious service or another formal event.
Choir dress: The formal dress the pope wears when not saying Mass.
Papal tiara: Formally known as the Triregnum, this triple crown symbolizes the popes power as "father of kings, governor of the world and Vicar of Christ," according to the Vatican press office. It was only used during formal ceremonies and has not been used since the reign of Pope Paul VI.

Pageant Hill will be booming with color and music at this year's fireworks show.
For nearly 60 years, Custer has had a fireworks show on the Fourth of July, but this year's show is going to be different than any other year.
Mayor Gary Lipp says firefighters won't be lighting the fireworks by hand this year. Instead, a pyrotechnic company is going to be setting off the fireworks electronically, to the beat of music.
The Black Hills Fire Protection District says the fire danger category has risen from low on Thursday to moderate on Friday. Matt Spring says fuels are tested and that there are a variety of different fuels. "Grasses to the timber. The pine needles to trees themselves would be major light fuel," said Spring.
Lipp says Pageant Hill shouldn't have fuel problems. "Up on Pageant Hill, the city went through and we've treated and removed all the of the bug trees and so we have no standing dead. We have no fuel buildup on the ground," said Lipp. Lipp added that the city has been doing a tree-thinning program for nearly 10 years.
The Custer fireworks show is in only on July 4 and begins at dark.

Granted, these are my first pair of snowshoes, but…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $75
Granted, these are my first pair of snowshoes, but I am quite pleased with them! I thought they perform well and I don't have the problem of snow being kicked up from the back. I've done just a little running with them so far, but hope to do more.
- Very light
- Great width (no worries about stepping on the other shoe)
- Crampons can handle some pretty big hills/icy conditions
- A little stiff to take off, especially when straps get cold
All I remember about snowshoeing were those horrible wooden, tennis racket/boat things we wore in Phys Ed in junior high 30 years ago. Based on friends telling me I had to try it again and hoping to be able to try some snow shoe running or at least maintain some cardiovascular fitness over the winter, I found these for a good price.
I was immediately surprised how light they were and happy that I didn't need to use a wide stance while walking with them. Defininitely proportionate to women's bodies. Straps were easy to maneuver when warm (putting them on) but tougher to take them off when cold. Maybe that's the norm for all of them? Crampons seem substantial and I trust them for hills and icy areas.
Anxious to start running in them. I originally bought them as an entry level snow shoe, but I'm thinking they might do the trick for all I want them to do (hiking and running).
So far, very happy with them!
Terrible design. The open spaces in the back collect…
Price Paid: $100
Terrible design. The open spaces in the back collect snow, and the suspension mechanism flips it up. I was soaked in less than 10 min.
Also, the hard plastic binding is hard to fit when it's cold--it gets stiff and unruly. My husband has Tubbs and I used them without any snow flipping, and a very easy, comfortable fit around my boots. Would not recommend this product.
Back to the drawing board, Atlas.

UK To Make It Easier For Wives To Kill Husbands
Sherman Oaks, California
Under current Anglo-American laws, a man in a bad marriage can lose his home, his children, his property and his pension. The United Kingdom now wants to make it easier for a man to lose his life.
The Labour Government, acting through the Ministry of Justice, is scheduled to release a "consultation paper" which would redefine as manslaughter various acts which are currently deemed murder, the Telegraph reports.
Those who could show they were responding to a "fear of serious violence" would be punished for manslaughter and escape a mandatory life sentence, under the plans. Proof of having acted spontaneously would not be required.
The reforms, to be unveiled by the Ministry of Justice, would also allow a defence for someone who could show they killed in response to an exceptional case of abusive "words and conduct" over a long period. . . . .
According to the Ministry of Justice the reforms are an attempt to redress a centuries-old disparity in how the laws impact on men and women.
These "reforms" would certainly achieve their goal: the manslaughter laws would tip in favor of women who kill their husbands.
While the new laws probably won't create a corps of murderesses mixing glass shards into hubby's ice cream, the proposals all but guarantee that women would, as a class, be treated more leniently in spousal homocide cases than men. However neutral the statutory language, the "fear of serious violence" and abusive "words and conduct" defenses would obviously be used far more often by women than by men.
The inherent gender bias of the proposed law would be exacerbated by the fact that the English legal system does not allow plea bargaining. Prosecutors bring the highest charge they think will stick, but no higher. In practice, this will mean that female suspects who can immediately make a colorable claim of abuse will be charged at the outset with manslaughter, a massive pre-trial victory for the defense. Men would be charged with murder.
With Prime Minister Gordon Brown's government coming off a series of humiliating defeats in local and special elections, and with the Labour Party running twenty points behind the Conservatives in national opinion polls, and with Brown facing a mounting leadership challenge, a cynic might say that Brown was trying to buy women's votes at the cost of men's lives.
UPDATE: The 64-page consultation paper has been posted.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This was a very pretty postcard. The custom text and colors chosen turned out very nice and true to the example. I paid for expedited shipping and it arrived on time."
"These were delivered in a timely fashion! They are perfect for our wedding and are beautiful. The only complaint I have is that the paper (signature matte, no extra charge) is a bit flimsy so be sure to be careful when handling and wiggling into envelopes. Besides that, they were perfect!"
"I love these save the date cards. The design is simple but gorgeous! Fits perfectly with our beach themed wedding. I was able to customize the color of the font, But I wish the color of the star could be changed as well. Overall I was very satisfied with this product!!"
"Our Save the Dates were perfect! We chose the pearlized paper and it just gave it a nice shine. It really made the beachy background come to life. We chose to write our info with website and more details in the back which worked out perfect as we are having a destination wedding. Text, ink, everything looked professional and very well done. Guests were very pleased and loved our Saved the Dates."
"This save the date is beautiful, especially in person. The sample card I ordered shows the text aligned to the left of the card. I decided to center the text which I personally think looks better. I really like that aligning or moving the text is an option we can choose to do, along with don't and colors however I kept those the same as the sample. The printing and paper quality is up to my expectations. The paper is just thick enough to give it quality without being too thick. We have not sent out our save the dates yet but I have gotten great feedback from friends who have seen them already. The sketched leaves designs is perfect for our fall wedding!"

Love It I love this dress in the navy. It is soft and very comfortable. Very flattering on my less than perfect hips. Can dress up or down: with heels or flats, with cardigan or without, I find myself reaching for it again and again. It has gone through washer and dryer and come out ready to wear again. The fabric is such that I don't know how long it will hold up but it looks great now. I am only 5'5" but I think length is perfect, not too long at all. Good value. July 15, 2014
comfortable and looks stylish The dress is very comfortable while being very elegant and stylish. Can be dressed up for evening or down for daytime beach wear. June 29, 2014
Sheer This dress is very pretty. The only issue I have with it is it is VERY thin! I purchased the white, and it leaves nothing to the imagination! I really like the fit,the high-low is so nice, just wish the material was not so see-thru. Not up to the usual high quality standards I'm used to from TB. June 4, 2014
Fabric was way to thin The fabric was very thin I would like to see this dress in a little bit non see thru fabric May 24, 2014
BEAUTIFUL DRESS I bought this dress for the fact that is simple & elegant. It fits well, fabric is nice & soft, and it falls well all over. Love it! May 23, 2014
Poor dress I normally do not write reviews, I read review they were ok. White see-though. Mess and tee-shirt did not pair. This was made for tall gals. I am 5'6 way too long... Going back..... April 26, 2014
Love! Love! Love! I'm usually between a small and a medium and the small fit great. This dress is lightweight and can be dressed up or down. The navy is flattering and hugs in all the right places. I highly recommend this dress. It will work with flats running around town or with heels for dinner out. April 15, 2014
It's elegant casual I enjoyed wearing this dress on my vacation in Mexico. I loved how I could dress it up with heals or make it casual with sandals. Or wear it as a cover up over my swim suit! I'm a petite size and it's a little long. The long point of the hem almost touches the ground, but with higher heals, it worked. Also, the armholes are just a little large. It is very lightweight and comfortable to wear. It packed and traveled well. April 1, 2014

NFL ironmen: Marshall ... Favre ... Tingelhoff ... Feagles?
[size=18px]NFL ironmen: Marshall ... Favre ... Tingelhoff ... Feagles?[/size]
Vikings legend Jim Marshall's record for consecutive games played could be broken in two weeks, by, of all things, a punter. Yes, Jeff Feagles is a punter. But a record is a record.
Jim Marshall: Vikings defensive end • 282 consecutive games (1960-79) •
Mark Craig, Star Tribune
Last update: November 10, 2005 at 9:56 PM
The NFL record Jim Marshall has held since Dec. 16, 1979, finally will fall Nov. 27 in Seattle when Giants punter Jeff Feagles jogs into a game for the 283rd consecutive time.
"Obviously, I'm not Jim Marshall," Feagles said. "I'm proud of the record, and I'll celebrate with my family. But I'm not counting on SportsCenter opening up with the record on Monday morning."
The fact a punter will break what has been the league's unofficial ironman record doesn't appear to bother Marshall. At least not that much.
The former Vikings defensive end would prefer Brett Favre (215) break the record. He also jokes that maybe the league could recognize one record for "active players" and another for "passive players."
"But, hey, records are meant to be broken, and I'll congratulate [Feagles] when he does it," Marshall said. "To be honest, I hadn't even thought about it until someone mentioned to me at the Vikings-Packers game a few weeks ago that someone was getting close."
It was inevitable. With positions more specialized and the expansion to 16-game schedules, it's a testament to Marshall's longevity that the record will have lasted 26 seasons.
"Man, a punter?" Vikings defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell said. "That needs an asterisk. And next to that asterisk, it should say, 'Jim Marshall, defensive end, holds the real record.'"

Marshall played one season with Cleveland (1961) and the next 19 with the Vikings. The NFL didn't expand its season from 14 to 16 games until Marshall's 19th year. If Marshall had played his entire career with 16-game schedules, Feagles might have never come close to the record.
"I'm taking it one year at a time right now," said Feagles, who will play in his 281st game Sunday against the Vikings at Giants Stadium. "I've always dreamed about going out on top. With the season we're having this year, I think I'm setting things up to do that."
The Patriots signed Feagles on May 1, 1988, as a rookie free agent from the University of Miami. He played two seasons with New England, four years with the Eagles, four with the Cardinals, five with the Seahawks and is now in his third season with the Giants.
"My first two years, I didn't think I'd stick, and then the first six years were mostly a learning experience," Feagles said. "I finally made the Pro Bowl in my 10th season. Now, I guess you'd call me a seasoned veteran."
Ernie Accorsi, Giants vice president and general manager, said he's never seen Feagles punt more effectively than he has this season. Feagles is fourth in the NFC in gross punting (44.1), first in net punting (40.2) and fifth in the NFL with 14 punts downed inside the 20-yard line.
"Jeff gave me a real scare this past summer," Accorsi said. "His kids are growing up, and he came into my office and said, 'You know, I'm thinking about retiring.' I said, 'I'm locking the door.' We finally found a kicker [Jay Feely]. I told him I am not going to go out and look for a punter in June. You are not retiring."
• • •
Feagles also is a holder on placekicks. It's the perfect combination, making it virtually impossible for him to miss a game. If the offense sputters, he punts. If it scores on every possession, he holds.
"I'm still waiting for the game they don't need me," Feagles joked. "Being a punter, obviously, I don't have to play every down and withstand the physical abuse. But to perform at a level where they want you every single week for 18 years is quite an accomplishment."
Feagles said he can remember only two games in which he came remotely close to not being able to play.
"I broke my arm against Pittsburgh in 2001," Feagles said. "Then last year, I got hit pretty hard by [Eagles linebacker] Jeremiah Trotter on a cheap shot, 20 yards away from the play. I got a concussion and was hurting on Wednesday and Thursday, but it was OK by the next game."
Trotter's hit was a factor in the NFL creating a rule preventing kickers and punters from being hit away from the play.
Situational pass rushers and rotating defensive linemen to keep them fresh was unheard of in Marshall's era. Marshall started and played nearly every defensive down of all 282 games.
He played despite separated shoulders, sprained knees and ankles and other bumps and bruises. He also was hospitalized because of pneumonia twice leading up to game day.
"Jim would come into the locker room and say, 'Man, I hurt so much I can't even limp,'" said former head athletic trainer Fred Zamberletti, now a senior consultant. "In those days, we didn't have 50 percent this or 75 percent that. You either showed up or you didn't. We always knew Marshall would show up."
Marshall said it never crossed his mind to rest and come back stronger the next week.
"I think it goes back to what my dad [George] instilled in me at a young age," Marshall said. "You show up for work and do the best job you can do. Every day. He used to say, 'I don't care if it's a spitting contest. Be the best spitter you can be, or don't spit at all.' "
Many of Marshall's teammates shared that philosophy. Center Mick Tingelhoff ranks fourth in NFL history in consecutive games played (240). Alan Page played in 236 consecutive games. Carl Eller played in 209 games.
"The game is so different today," Marshall said. "With free agency and the salary cap, guys are here today, gone tomorrow. We were part of the community. It literally became a brotherhood because guys played eight, 10, 15 years together."
On Nov. 27, an NFL record from that bygone era will disappear. But it will hardly be forgotten.
"Jeff Feagles is a great punter," Cottrell said. "But God only made one Jim Marshall."
Giants punter • 280 games in a row
• The 39-year-old has played for the Patriots, Eagles, Cardinals, Seahawks and Giants. He was signed as a rookie free agent out of Miami (Fla.) by New England in 1988.
• Feagles broke punter Ray Guy's streak of 207 consecutive games in 2000.
• He has 13 tackles in 18 seasons.
• If Feagles' 1,425 regular- and post-season punts were uncorked as one big boot, the ball would travel 33.7 miles. Burnsville to Blaine is 33.1 miles,

Re: NFL ironmen: Marshall ... Favre ... Tingelhoff ... Feagles?
Just to note:
Marshall was a defensive end. He certainly saw more physical contact throughout his career than did Feagles & Andersen.

In doing his best to secure my endorsement for President Of Everything For Life, Paul Lambert has apparently told Alan Hutton that his services will no longer be required by Aston Villa. Obvious "this is the Mirror we're talking about here so don't get too carried away," this is about the best possible thing I could have heard to ensure I have a spring in my step all weekend. Beyond his on-pitch contributions (or lack thereof) Hutton is a symbol of everything awful about the Alex McLeish regime. There are worse players in the squad, but if I could pick any one player to send on his way Hutton would be the guy.
Assuming this is on the up-and-up, the next step is to find a team dumb or desperate enough to spend actual money in order to acquire him. There's no way Villa will be recouping the £3 million they spent to sign him from Spurs, but at this point anything approaching a fair offer should be accepted with glee. The back line is in desperate need of a makeover, and getting rid of Hutton is as good a place to start as any.

South Dakota Senators passed a package of bills with visions of lowering the number of driving accidents involving teenage drivers.
Senate Bills 105, 106, and 107 were passed, and will extend the time required for having a learner's permit, limit cellphone use by young drivers, and limit the amount of passengers allowed in a vehicle.
"I understand where they are coming from," William Barrett, a junior from Watertown said. "I don't think it is fair to limit a certain age group."
Barrett was not alone in thinking the bills might be a little too harsh.
"It really depends on the level of maturity you have," Lydia Hulscher, another junior from Watertown said. "Someone at 14 could be as mature as someone at 18…"
Both young drivers do agree though, distractions are all over the road.
"Texting is distracting. Some of the biggest distractions I think though," Barrett said. "Is having friends in your vehicle."
"It's tough to keep them under control," said Hulscher. "It is tough when they (friends) don't listen."
One man who does agree with the new restrictions is Jon Iverson, a driver's education teacher in Watertown.
"I think the new limits are smart," Iverson said. "The number of accidents and deaths skyrocket when drivers get distracted."
Senate Bill 107 does make exceptions for teens driving to school functions of if family members are passengers.

The Chicago Department of Transportation is discussing whether to remove traffic lanes out of Stony Island Avenue to make room for bicycle lanes.
On Tuesday at a 5th Ward meeting, CDOT unveiled plans for a three-million dollar remodeling project that will stretch from 67th to 79th streets on the South Side.
Among many options weighed by project managers, one proposal is to remove one lane from the northbound side of the street to make way for two-way bike lanes. It will be separated by a thin median that will be landscaped.
"This option makes a lot of sense because it mimics the lakefront trail," said Dave Smith, a project manager for CDOT.
Another option is removing one lane from both sides of the street.
Residents of South Shore are unconvinced that increasing bike lanes would increase cycling on the street. Also, many feel that removing a car lane would only increase congestion during rush-hour.
Stony Island handles around 35,000 vehicles a day, half of the 70,000 that travel Lake Shore Drive every day, according to Smith.
Studies show bike riders use Stony Island to get to 71st Street, and then they head to the lakefront. Currently, Stony Island is not safe for bike riders. There have been around 45 cycling accidents in the past five years.
Ald. Leslie Hairston of the 5th Ward said that she was not convinced bike lanes would be a good idea.
"I have not been a big proponent of it, but I will defer to the community," Hairston said.
Federal grants would pay for around 80% of the project. State grants and money from Chicago's yearly budget would pay for the rest.
According to the city, construction would begin next summer. The project would ultimately improve access for bikers to the lake.

Pretty decent review, mostly because it agreed with my opinion.
:-) ... his videos have a very subjective, amateurish approach - see also his reviews of the Tamron 24-70. While this is fine if you want to p&s, it lacks tech knowledge (the fact alone that he expects 70mm to be the same on every lens).
In this case: The new Canon mk2 uses more doublecross af points on the 5d3/1dx, so it being as fast as the mk1 is a good sign since more precision usually means less speed. And a more detailed test might show that the mk2 has a higher af hit rate on Canon newest systems.

The flooding happened in what tenants of Tech Terrace in Blacksburg say was only a matter of minutes.
William Long, a Virginia Tech Student says before they knew it, their downstairs apartment was filling up with water.
"The torrential downpour happened so fast, it flooded our apartment and we had to build a barricade to keep it from coming in," Long said.
The living room of his apartment is still damp. He and his roommates are drying their carpet with box fans and have their furniture stacked up on top of each other to keep out the moisture.
Several other apartments at Tech Terrace flooded as well. Tenants say that their leasing management was quick to respond, and has blocked entrances with sandbags to prevent further flooding.

After Jeranimo won the Grade II San Gabriel Stakes on turf Dec. 27, trainer Mike Pender allowed as to how it might have been his best race. Coming into the $300,000 Sunshine Millions Turf at Santa Anita Saturday, Pender says the 5-year-old Florida-bred Congaree horse is doing at least as well, if not better.
"He's training forwardly every day," Pender said. "Each day is better than the day before."
Pender has perused the past performances for the 1 1/8-mile race and feels there is enough speed in it to enhance Jeranimo's stretch-running style, especially with committed front-runner Presious Passion breaking from the outside in the field of eight. "We're hopeful the race sets up good for us," Pender said.
Jeranimo's San Gabriel win came on a "good" course, but with weather clear and dry, Pender is not concerned about firm going Saturday. "He ran over a hard Hollywood Park turf course (winning an allowance race by 1 ½ lengths on Nov. 27) and he seemed to relish it," Pender said. "Either footing is suitable."
Pender has retained the services of leading rider Rafael Bejarano, who was aboard for Jeranimo's last two victories. "He's hotter than a firecracker," Pender said of the jockey. Jeranimo has a 5-3-2 record from 15 starts, with earnings of $429,400 for owner B.J. Wright of Pasadena.
Mike Machowsky, meanwhile, is confident that Caracortado will run his race in the Turf. The California-bred gelding is coming off a troubled third in the Grade I Malibu Stakes at seven furlongs on the main track Dec. 26, but won his turf debut sprinting at Hollywood Park on Nov. 11, in near-track record time for six furlongs. He'll be ridden for the third time in a row by Joe Talamo on Saturday.
"It's a tough race," Machowsky said. "There's not much more to say than that. I don't think we'll be that far off the pace. There's enough speed in there to keep it honest. I think we'll be tracking third, fourth, something like that."
Warren's Blossom, owned and bred in California by Benjamin Warren, gets tested for class and stamina when she runs in Saturday's $300,000 Sunshine Millions Distaff at 1 1/16 miles on Santa Anita's main track. Trainer Jorge Gutierrez feels she deserves the chance.
"We liked this filly a lot," said Gutierrez of the 4-year-old California-bred daughter of the A.P Indy stallion Extra, who has won four of her five starts and was a troubled second in her only loss. "What surprised me is it took us so long to get a race for her. I tried to get her in those straight Cal-bred races a couple times at Del Mar, so I entered her in a straight maiden at Pomona. That race didn't go either, so I entered her for $20,000 and I was glad I didn't lose her.
"She was developing to the point that I'd thought she'd be a nice filly. I've only had a couple horses by this sire, and she's one of the first ones. She's kind of a well-put together filly. She's real classy, does everything right and has done so right from the get-go. By far, this filly is the first of his progeny that kind of stands out."
The 45-year-old Gutierrez, who has 40 head at Santa Anita, was born in Mexico City and has been training since 1996. His father, Juan, was contract rider for Laz Barrera and worked as an assistant to trainer Henry Moreno for more than 30 years. Jorge has four wins at Santa Anita this meet and finished second to Doug O'Neill at the Fairplex Park meet last September.
"Mr. Warren sent me a couple horses maybe six, seven years ago and it kind of worked out from there," said Gutierrez, who employs a simple method to keep track of all his horse's that have the first name of "Warren."
"We slap the 'W' on all the barn doors," Gutierrez said, "but we go by the horse's last name."
Steve Specht will be focused on winning the Sunshine Millions Distaff Saturday when he sends out Antares World and Lady Railrider, but no one could blame him if his mind drifts to memories of a landmark victory that occurred four years ago Thursday.
That was the day California-bred McCann's Mojave stormed through the stretch to win the Sunshine Millions Classic at Gulfstream Park. The purse was $1 million back then.
"I'll never forget that one," the 61-year trainer said on a sun-filled Friday morning at Clockers' Corner. "That was something special, for myself, the horse and for Mike, too," referring to the horse's owner, Mike Willman, who was and is Publicity Director at Santa Anita Park. "He was in desperate need of a McCann's Mojave at that time, so it worked out really well."
Despite the fact he was a 7-year-old shipping cross-country, Specht was confident the son of Memo-Joni U. Bar would run well on that day back in 2007. "I wouldn't have taken him there if I didn't think the horse had a chance," Specht said. "He just kept getting better at the time and we decided to go ahead and give him a shot. For that kind of money, it was a little tough to turn down, especially in a restricted race where you didn't have to face Kentucky-breds or foreign horses and stuff like that.
"Although it wasn't a soft race, there were some good horses in there. Sweetnorthernsaint ran third in the Derby and second in the Preakness, and won the Illinois Derby, so it wasn't like it was a bunch of bums or anything.
"But the horse was training so well and just seemed to be coming around. He got really good at the right time, so it all worked out."
McCann's Mojave, who was Grade I stakes-placed and a multiple graded stakes winner, retired with 12 wins from 35 starts, with earnings of $1,513,565.
McCann's Mojave, now 11, currently stands at Rancho San Miguel for $3,000 live foal.
"His first group are yearlings," Specht said. "The second crop will be born in the next few months. This is his third year as a stallion. You don't know until they start running, but I think he's going to be a good stallion. He was basically a sound horse, and in this day and age when these horses can't make it to their 3-year-old year, this horse was still running in graded stakes at age eight. That's something to be said. And he could sprint or route."
Juan Garcia will have more than a rooting interest when Cayambe runs in Saturday's $200,000 Sunshine Millions Sprint Saturday at Santa Anita. The former trainer, whose friends call him "King Juan," retired in 2008. He is the father of trainer Victor Garcia, who will saddle Cayambe in the six furlong race.
"He'll be coming on strong at the end," predicted Juan, who turns 68 on Feb. 3. "The horse is doing good. I'm in town just for the race and to see old friends."
Garcia owns horses and has some business and real estate dealings in Tijuana. "Training was easier," Garcia said. "As an owner, you have to pay the bills."
Tim Conway Jr., host of the popular Tim Conway Jr. Show, heard weeknights, 7 to 10 p.m., on KFI, AM 640, will be at the first-ever Gourmet Food Truck Festival on Sunshine Millions Day Saturday in the East Infield.

The Spazmatics will entertain in Santa Anita's infield Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m., while Steel Rod will perform at Sirona's Bar after the races from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
First post time on Saturday's 10-race card is 12 noon.
FINISH LINES: Trainer John Sadler reports that Grade I Malibu Stakes winner Twirling Candy will drill seven furlongs Sunday morning at Santa Anita in preparation for the Grade II Strub Stakes on Feb . . . Dan Ward said Team Hollendorfer is considering a turf start for champion Blind Luck's next race. "We'd prefer the La Caňada (Stakes, 1 1/8 miles on the main track Feb. 13), but we'll look at the Buena Vista, too," said Ward, assistant to trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. "Our ultimate goal is the Apple Blossom at Oaklawn Park (April 15). She's already won over that track and the Apple Blossom is a Grade I worth $500,000." The Buena Vista is a Grade II handicap at one mile on the grass Feb. 21. Ward added that San Pedro Stakes winner Indian Winter is ticketed for the Grade II San Vicente Stakes on Feb. 20 and a possible meeting with Bob Baffert's up-and-coming The Factor . . . With owners Marty and Pam Wygod on hand, Queen Elizabeth II winner Harmonious worked six furlongs for John Shirreffs on Santa Anita's main track Friday in a bullet 1:10.80 for a possible start in the La Caňada . . . M One Rifle, the 2009 Malibu winner, worked six furlongs in 1:14.60 for Bruce Headley, while promising maiden winner Rumor went five furlongs in 1:00.40 for Richard Mandella. "I have no plans for a race," Mandella said of the filly owned by Ramona Bass, Dell Hancock and Adele Dilschneider, "but she galloped out (six furlongs) in (one) 13 and couldn't have looked any better."

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency fined Asarco LLC $30,900 for using buildings contaminated with PCBs and improper management of PCB waste at its copper smelter in Hayden.
The company will also spend $115,714 to reduce PCBs at the smelter, the EPA announced Thursday.
The violations stemmed from a 2011 inspection in which the EPA found two buildings contaminated with PCBs. Asarco employees continued to use the buildings, a violation of the federal Toxic Substances Control Act, according to the EPA.
As part of the agreement, Asarco will replace three PCB transformers at the smelter, reducing future risk of exposure to workers and the environment, according to the EPA.

The council also agreed to hire a long-term recovery manager at no expense to the city.
The eight-member grocery store committee is expected to work alongside the council and the city's Economic and Industrial Development Authority, formerly known as the Industrial Development Board, to oversee the construction project.
The state recently awarded the city a $1.4 million Community Development Block Grant to help rebuild a grocery store.
"They (EIDA) will be the owner of the property and the owner of the building and they will collect the rent, but the project itself is the responsibility of the city," Mayor Drew Gilbert said.
Gilbert recommended creating the committee, which he described as both a joint task force and a think tank.
It will be composed of representatives from the council, EIDA and the Long Term Recovery Committee as well as prospective grocer Mark Bozeman.
Gilbert said the committee would meet biweekly and report to grant administrator Peggy Matthews of Huntsville-based Community Consultants.
The council appointed Bozeman, Lauren Vance, J.J. Johnson, Bobby Busby, Mike Gilbert, Rhonda Hitchcock, Josh Bagwell and Dean Harbison to the grocery store committee.
Harbison, the city's disaster recovery coordinator, also gave the council an update on downtown demolition.
Earlier this month, city officials learned that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has released funds for demolition.
FEMA representatives later told the Associated Press that the city will be receiving $840,000 for the project, which will be reimbursed through the state EMA.
Harbison said the bid documents have now been approved by city attorney Ken Guin, and the project is ready to be put out to bid.
The council voted to allow LTRC to proceed with the bidding process. Further details, including dates, are not yet available.
Regarding a long-term recovery manager, Gilbert said a grant for the individual's full salary is available through the Walker Area Community Foundation.
He added that a candidate is already on board who has the skills set necessary for the role, including a background in planning.
"It's really a very vital role for the city at this point. As we build back, you have to have a plan for what you're doing. This would be somebody who would be on the ground daily implementing those plans," Gilbert said.
In other action, the council
•appointed Roger Moore as court clerk/magistrate.
The position has been vacant since Nov. 13, when Leanne Dawkins was promoted to city clerk. Moore, a police officer, temporarily stepped into the role while city officials were having difficulty transferring his certification from Tennessee to Alabama.
The council approved a starting pay of $13.50 per hour with a raise to $14.50 per hour after Moore receives two years of certification.
•learned from Harbison, the city's fire chief, that the fire department will have address signs available by the spring for residents within the city limits.
"It's just a numerical reflective sign that can be placed at your mailbox, on your house or in your yard," Harbison said. "It's not a requirement. It's a free service. We provide the sign and can do a home inspection for fire safety if you'd like."
•received an update on two community storm shelters that the city has been seeking for nearly two years.
Harbison said funding was recently approved for both shelters, which will be located on School Road behind the old Cordova High School and on Columbus Street East near Mount Zion Baptist Church.
•heard a report on the police department from chief Nick Smith.
The department added five Chevrolet Tahoes to its fleet on Tuesday.
At the council's last meeting, members agreed to surplus all police vehicles except two and use the proceeds to purchase the Tahoes from Hoover PD.
Gilbert said the city received slightly less than $46,000 from bidders as well as an insurance settlement on a Tahoe that was recently totaled in an accident.
Smith told the council that the city attorney recently completed an inventory of police evidence, which will be provided to members at the Feb. 12 meeting. Assistant chief Zak Green has been placed in charge of evidence at the department.
Smith said he enrolled the department in the 10-33 program, which allows law enforcement agencies to receive surplus military vehicles and other equipment.
Smith also informed the council about an organizational Neighborhood Watch meeting that will be held today at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

The YMCA of the Sandhills is working to raise money for a proposed facility that would focus on honoring and helping injured service members and veterans.
The Wounded Warrior Center would combine a museum-type area with a fitness and aquatic center. Three pools would be included in the center -- one for therapy, a competition style pool for lane swimming and a recreational pool for family fun.
The idea is to create enough space for wounded warriors and older adults to have specialized areas, while also giving swim teams a place to practice and hold meets, in addition to a water playground of sorts.
YMCA CEO Rick Houp said the Y's current indoor pool is one of only about three in Cumberland County. So the pool is often overcrowded, making it hard for everyone to use it when and how they would like.
Houp said the new indoor aquatic center in the Wounded Warrior Center would help meet demand from the community. The dedicated therapy pool would also accommodate many wounded warriors in the area, and it may even attract veterans looking for a place to live while in rehab -- veterans would be given free access to the facility and free child care during rehab.
"We're taking away every excuse to make sure an individual has an opportunity to rehab successfully," Houp said.
The center would also include fitness equipment such as treadmills, stationary bikes, weight machines and free weights. Much of the equipment would be adaptable for use by wounded warriors or others. The adaptable equipment would be mixed in with all the other equipment so that wounded warriors will work out beside other members of the community.
"Rather than being isolated by their injury or their wound, they're integrated into this wounded warrior center," Houp said.
A major way wounded warriors would be integrated into the center is through the educational area. It will use plaques, videos and a small theater to tell the story of 9/11, the wars that followed and the wounded warriors that resulted. Houp said the educational element will help create an overall center that is dedicated to telling the wounded warrior story and helping warriors advance that story.
"If not in Fayetteville, [then] Cumberland County. What community better understands the sacrifices of these men and women?" Houp asked.
Funding could include taxpayer dollars. Houp estimates the center will cost $20 to 25 million, depending on land costs. A consulting company will ultimately suggest the location.
Although Houp has not made an official request at this point, he said he will ask Fayetteville, Cumberland County and Fort Bragg for help with funding the center. He said he will ask the city and county for $3 million each over a 2-year period. He also hopes to secure some state and federal funding along with grants because the center could be the only center of its kind in the country.
City and county leaders who spoke to WNCN on Monday said they like the idea. Some said they think the center could help fill a void in recreation in the Fayetteville area. However, they all said local government budgets are tight. So there will be discussion on how much, if any, government funding will go toward the center.
Houp said he is also reaching out to local civic groups and private donors to build the center.
"We're looking for anyone, the city, the county, Fort Bragg, private investors if you will, to say okay we want to build this facility and partner with you," Houp said. "So the concept is: if everyone takes a small piece of the pie this can be accomplished."

Marine and soldier killed on patrol
11:10am Thursday 25th October 2012 in National News By Simon Patchett
A Royal Marine and a woman soldier have died from injuries received while on patrol in Afghanistan.
The Royal Marine, from 40 Commando and the soldier, from 3 Medical Regiment, were on patrol in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province when they were killed on Wednesday, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said. Their families have been informed.
The soldier is a 25-year-old woman from Comber in Co Down, Northern Ireland, the Belfast Telegraph said, though the MoD was unable to confirm this.
The pair are thought to have been killed by insurgents, though the BBC said an Afghan source claimed the deaths were from a "green on blue" attack - where coalition troops are killed by their Afghan allies.
A source said it understood the Taliban had issued a statement in Afghanistan suggesting the incident was a green on blue attack.
But the source said the details of the incident were still unclear because the people who knew what happened were not in a "state" to write down witness statements or explain what they saw.
The source said the Marine and soldier appeared to have been killed by gunshot wounds by insurgents, but the details had not yet been confirmed.
Major Laurence Roche, spokesman for Task Force Helmand, said: "I am extremely sorry to announce the deaths of a Royal Marine from 40 Commando and a soldier from 3 Medical Regiment serving with Task Force Helmand.
"This is dreadful news for all of us serving in Afghanistan. Our sincere condolences go to their families, friends and colleagues at this time of grief."
Their deaths take the total number of UK service members to have died since operations in Afghanistan began in October 2001 to 435.

Is there a way in Lightroom to 'copy' what settings the camera has applied to the jpeg to my raw so I can at least start the edit with the same looking file?
Yes. It is under camera calibration in the develop module. Scott Kelby has the presets for Canon/Nikon on his website they are quite good www.lightroomkillertips.com and in the search field type Camera Calibration. It will have instructions on how to import.

"We've Been Growing Apart for Years"
Her TurnThe Couple
Pam, 41, marketing manager
Ross, 45, lawyer
Married 19 years
Kids: Lauren, 15; Jacob, 13The Counselor
Marc D. Rabinowitz, Norfolk, Virginia
The Background: Pam and Ross had been drifting apart from each other for a while, but it got worse three years ago. Pam went back to work full-time but says she's still stuck doing all the parenting. Between that and caring for her elderly mom and dad, she's overwhelmed. Meanwhile, her coworkers make her feel appreciated -- something she doesn't get from Ross. Last year she was so lonely she wound up having an emotional affair with a guy at the office.Her Turn
Ross and I were in the middle of a huge fight and I told him I almost cheated on him with someone at work. It was a terrible way to do it but I'd had enough. I'm pretty sure I want a divorce. There's just no marriage left. We don't have time to go on dates or hang out together at home the way we used to, but that's not really the problem. It's that we never talk about anything deeper than the grocery list. I used to tell Ross about what happened at work, but he started interrupting me and comparing what I said to something he did. After a while I stopped talking about myself. Now we just bicker constantly.
Ross works 60-hour weeks, so it's up to me to help the kids with their homework and get them to soccer on time. I'm sick of it. If I complain enough, Ross will take over for a few days, but then he'll start working late and everything will fall on my shoulders again.
He's not just checked out in terms of parenting -- I have to be in charge of everything. It's been ages since he had an idea or opinion. And I'm tired of him acting like an employee, waiting for directions. I want a partner. Why can't he look at the family calendar and do what needs to be done?
I have my parents to deal with, too. I'm an only child, so I have to be on call 24/7 to take them to the ER or doctor's appointments -- and they live a half hour away. My mother had abdominal surgery last year; my father has Parkinson's and can't be left alone for more than three hours. Some weeks they need me every day, no matter what.
I tell Ross I feel overwhelmed, but he just says it's a phase, it'll pass. Really? When? And whenever I complain that we're not close anymore, he says our relationship "isn't that bad" and leaves the room. How can we fix what's wrong if we don't talk about it?
For the past few years I've been feeling more connected to people at work. I'm around them more and they appreciate me and talk to me. And then last year, when I was assigned to a special project with this guy, Scott, we clicked immediately. He was take-charge and opinionated. He wasn't afraid to challenge me when we disagreed. We had deep conversations about everything, including our bad marriages. I felt like a whole person again, not just a co-parent and household manager. We knew that our feelings were dangerous, so we ended our friendship, and Scott transferred to another office.
I stayed faithful to Ross because I still love him. But the fact that I nearly cheated was a wake-up call that I can't be married to someone who feels more like a roommate than a husband.

3.53/5 rDev -8.8%
12 Oz Handbottle - Dec 24, 2007. November 2007. Light nose of peppery malt tang. Certain pumpernickel and caraway. Restaurant Musk. Pours a mid amber, with nice carbonation and thin greasy rim of white. Flavor combines a bit of Munich malt, with some tangy multi-grain bread, a lot of rich creaminess and some fading bitterness. Hops comes across as largely generic. Light spicy rye qualities merge well with the deep grain texture of the bock base. Lightly sweet. Hop character could be a little better, but this is a nice rare gem. Thanks Sean

3.93/5 rDev +1.6%
A: 1/4 finger of creamy white head with good retention. Clear amber liquid. Good looking, nice head.
S: Little aroma but some rye bite at first. Gentle hoppiness has elements of herbal and citrus.
T: Mild with a rye tanginess. Some hops come in later with slightly green, off/amber ale flavor.
M: Bitterness and astringency grow as beer warms and is a positive as this adds depth. No heat.
D: I'd order another and would order again. I wouldn't buy 6. Feels like 5%, waitress said ABV was 9-10% ABV!

4/5 rDev +3.4%
A - Crystal clear pale amber in color with a single finger of white head. Not much retention, not a bit of lacing.
S - Smells very "earthy" with notes of pine and a slightly pepperiness.
T - Lots of rye, piney and resinous! The finish is slightly sweet with a fair, but not overpowering, hop bite. Crisp and earthy to the very end.
M - On the heavier side of light in body and slightly sticky.
D - I loved it. A very well balanced brew.

Picked up three bottles from the MBC pub. Pours a nice copper color from a 12oz bottle. Nice thick head at first that falls into a thin white head. Good carbonation and lacing.
Slightly hoppy aroma blende with the rye.
Sweet taste at first that finishes into a grainy/rye taste. Very smooth.
Coats the mouth with the sweet flavor.
Very drinkable beer. Nice, smooth, and refreshing.

12oz Hand Labeled Bottle
I was lucky enough to receive this from hoppymeal, thanks again Derek! Michigan Brewing's Rye Bock pours a deep golden with a highlight here and there leaning toward copper. Light sediment is suspended throughout. A finger worth of bubbly slightly off white head formed on the pour and as the bubbles burst fell to a thin cap that left some small spots of lace after each drink.
This beer smells like there's a good deal of rye used in the brewing. I'm hit right off the bat with lightly toasted malts and a touch of sweet bread. There's a touch of orchard fruit, such as peach and pear, flashing through quickly before the spicy rye and alcohol hit the nose. This bock smells really nice.
The flavor follows exactly what the aroma suggested. Lightly toasted grains start things off and are quickly met with a hint of tripel like orchard fruits before the spicy rye and alcohol mixture kick in. The rye is unique enough but the fruitiness really adds a great depth. I'm really enjoying the flavor of this beer.
The body is moderate but feels lighter with the decent amount of carbonation present. This beer really flows through easily. The carbonation is smooth and subtle but pushes this brew through easily.
This is a very good, flavorful, sessionable beer. I would love to be able to pick these up down the street; they'd be a mainstay in the fridge.
This is a tasty rye bock. My first from Michigan Brewing Co. and definitely not my last. They will be a new stop on my next trip up North. Thanks for the treat Derek!

3.88/5 rDev +0.3%
Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a pint glass.
A: Relatively pale with a touch of amber, very light haze. Virtually no head on the pour but a light ring of bubbles. Slight lacing climbs the glass.
S: Interesting smell seemingly from the rye; a nice earthy grain aroma.
T: Mellow malt sweetness envelops the tongue on a good pull. The flavors stay tight for the duration and do not separate. There is very little bittering but somehow it doesn't seem out of balance. Finish is lightly sweet and lingers for some time.
M&D: Medium bodied leaning toward the heavier side. Carbonation is light and well matched. Very smooth and enjoyable.

On tap at the Pizza Plant on Transit,its great to see hard to find Michigan brews here in the Buffalo area!This poured from the tap a clear rich bronze with a thinner but pretty well sustained white head,aromas are heavy on the rye quite sharp with a little pepper and earthy hop.Theses guys did not chince with the rye in this beer flavors are sharp and almost lactic with a slight hard wood smoke elemant to it,somewhat grainy in the mouth and sharp.Big flavors it could become to much after awhile but its nice to see a bold flavorful rye beer in my opinion there isnt enough of them.

3.83/5 rDev -1%
Acquired via trade from plaztikjezuz, so a big "Thank you" goes out to him. Poured from a 12oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a deep gold color, with a thin off-white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is of bready but light malts, rye and spices along with some hops.
T: The taste is likewise bready, malty and smoky with flavors of rye and spice. There's a good hops presence that provides a good balance. The after-taste is bready and slightly sweet.
M: Smooth and crisp, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.
D: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, good kick, nice representation of style. I usually find beers in this style to be either hit or miss. This beer definitely seems to fall on the hit side. It's well-worth drinking for a while.

PERU — A 15-year-old was charged with burglary July 24.
Police received a report last month that a mobile home on Sullivan Road had been burglarized and some money had been taken from the residence, Plattsburgh-based State Police said.
A couple days later, the homeowner found a weed cutter that was formerly in a shed leaning against the porch of the home, police said.
Police investigation determined that a juvenile who lives on Fuller Road in the Town of AuSable had broken into the mobile home four times and taken about $435 from the home, police said.
The burglaries occurred near June 16, police said.
When the young man was questioned by his mother about the weed cutter, he allegedly lied to her and she told him to return it to the property where he got it from, police said.
The teen was charged with second-degree burglary and third-degree burglary, both felonies.
He was released on an appearance ticket for Family Court.

Count All Votes
Senator Obama, We, the undersigned, reject the notion that the people of Florida and Michigan should be disenfranchised because of internal DNC rules. Over 2 Million people cast ballots in MI and FL, and those voters must be heard. We call upon you, as the front runner in the campaign for the Democratic nomination, to acknowledge and respect the votes of these Americans and to pledge to support the full seating of their delegates at the party's convention in Denver â

To the editor:
Almost everyone who knows Sheila Mullins also knows she belongs on the Newburyport City Council. She's not some newcomer looking for fame on Monday night local television. Mullins has been hard at work for Newburyport citizens for the 15 years I've known her. We met through Citizens for Environmental Balance, a small group concerned about the Interstate 95 right of way (now the Little River Nature Trail), the Crow Lane landfill capping (still in progress), the former industrial property on Hale Street (now conservation land) and many other local issues.
Mullins is a familiar face at countless meetings of the City Council, Planning Board, Conservation Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, etc., keeping herself and other citizens informed about what's happening behind the scenes. (Unfortunately, local newspapers can not afford to report on all the municipal meetings.) As a result, Mullins knows more about the inner workings of city government than many local politicians who have been in office for years.
She is smart, practical, articulate and tireless in her efforts to find the truth about the issues and to promote decisions that benefit us, the local residents. At the same time, she's practical and knows the limits of government, budgetary and otherwise. It's high time voters give her a seat on the council. They won't regret it.
