'The Terminator's' tell-all memoir comes out today
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Arnold Schwarzenegger says his lifelong penchant for secrecy and his ability to put his emotions "on deep freeze" led him to keep many secrets from his wife Maria Shriver.
Eventually, the secrecy caused the dissolution of their 25-year marriage when he was forced to admit he fathered a child with the family's housekeeper years earlier. Shriver filed for divorce in July.
The former California governor is revealing some of those secrets in his new autobiography "Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story," and in an interview Sunday on "60 Minutes."
"Total Recall" will officially be published Monday. The Associated Press purchased an early copy.
Among the decisions Schwarzenegger says he kept from Shriver were major heart surgery and whether to run for governor in 2003.
The former Mr. Universe traces his detachment to his bodybuilding days, where he tells reporter Leslie Stahl that he "became an expert in living in denial."

Growth-focused renewables firm moves to Aerohub site
Posted: January 23, 2013|
A renewables business has become the latest business to move onto the Aerohub Enterprise Zone at Newquay Cornwall Airport.
Ainscough Wind Energy Services, a subsidiary of Ainscough Cranes, is moving from its existing base in Newquay town centre onto the airport site.
Ainscough, which provides wind turbine erection and maintenance services, is moving to a larger site at the Aerohub with office and workshop space.
Initially occupying temporary buildings, Ainscough will develop a larger, bespoke unit later this year.
The business, which was founded as Windcon Energy Services in 2001, will use the site as a base for an expansion drive. It employs seven staff, with 100 field staff – with plans to recruit when its permanent base opens.
Director John Fabby said: "The opportunity to be part of the development at Aerohub was extremely attractive. We required a unique site that could meet our space requirements and Aerohub was the only place that could meet our demanding requirements. Ainscough Wind Energy is a growing company and looks forward to expanding alongside the development of the Enterprise Zone. The business park at Aerohub will allow us to operate freely as well as take advantage of the excellent connectivity at the airport."
Chris Pomfret, chairman of the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership, said "Ainscough Wind Energy will set an exceptional example of the type of business we are looking to attract to the development. It is a world-class renewable company with an excellent track record in the local economy and we look forward to supporting Ainscough's ambitious growth plans."
Aerohub is England's only aerospace focused Enterprise Zone. With a footprint of 280 acres, it is already home to AgustaWestland, British International Helicopters, Skybus, the Classic Aircraft Trust and The Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust.
Cornwall's airport was named as one of 22 EZs announced in 2011 that are central to Government plans to drag Britain out of the economic doldrums by offering businesses an attractive proposition including a five-year business rate holiday, relaxed planning regulations and superfast broadband.
There are hopes that the site could eventually support around 1,000 jobs, developing into a major economic driver for the peninsula.
The Aerohub scheme is being led by the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership and Cornwall Council. They have co-commissioned Cornwall Development Company, the Council's arms length development company, to deliver the Enterprise Zone project alongside Cornwall Airport Limited as the operator of the airport.
Stephen Rushworth, Cornwall Council's portfolio holder for economy and regeneration, said: "The arrival of Ainscough adds to a growing range of businesses on site."

Before the Jean Pascal-Bernard Hopkins rematch, ferocious words flew on a brilliant new HBO special called "Face Off" a back and forth between the two fighters moderated by announcer Max Kellerman. If past is prelude, it seemed likely the HBO special would be significantly more exciting than the fight itself. The 46-year-old Hopkins is one of the most cautious and defensive fighters of his generation. Famous for his tactical and technical skills, Hopkins has never been one to light the world on fire. Until last night.
Behind the strength of a wicked lead right hand, Hopkins took the fight to Pascal for much of the 12 round title bout. It was like seeing a caterpillar transform before our very eyes. It was Tony Gwynn recast as a home run hitter, Wayne Gretzky eschewing the open man for a low percentage slap shot. This was, well, Bernard Hopkins seeking glory and glamour beneath the bright lights, no longer content to win a boring decision.
Hopkins was like a new fighter altogether. Even in the 12th round, seemingly ahead on the scorecards, Hopkins was charging forward. It almost cost him as Pascal landed a hard punch. Hopkins weathered the storm when Pascal didn't have the injury to come forward any more. By the end of the round, Hopkins was once again the aggressor.
Hopkins won with scores of 115-114, 115-113 and 116-112. It wasn't that close. I had the bout 117-112 and that didn't include to knockdowns of Pascal that were inexplicably labeled "slips" by referee Ian John-Lewis. Pascal joins some of the greats on Hopkins' list of victims. Roy Jones Jr, Antonio Tarver, Ronald "Winky" Wright, Oscar de la Hoya, and Felix "Tito" Trinidad have all met defeat at his hands. He's one of the greats and this is the crowning achievement of a career that will see him in Canastota, New York at the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Amazingly, Hopkins isn't done yet. Instead of pushing for a third match with Pascal, the new light heavyweight champion will square off with Chad Dawson who won on the undercard against Adrian Diaconu. Whether Hopkins has it in him to beat Dawson is an intriguing question. At 46, can he pull out one more miracle? If these two fights against Pascal have taught us nothing, they've taught us never to count out Bernard Hopkins.

In late May of 2003, incumbent second baseman Jerry Hairston, Jr. was injured and the reigns were handed over to 25 year-old North Carolina native, and South Carolina Gamecock, Brian Roberts. In 112 games, Brian batted .270 and stole 23 bases in 29 attempts. Jerry came back healthy for spring training in 2004, but broke a finger in camp. Brian was again given the chance to be the everyday second baseman for the Orioles. In his 159 games in 2004, Brian hit .273, with 50 doubles - breaking Cal Ripken's Oriole record, and setting the American League single-season record for switch hitters.
Over the next five seasons (2005-2009), Brian played in 751 games, averaging 150 games per season. Over that time he averaged 11 home runs, 64 RBI, 46 doubles (56 in 2009), 37 stolen bases (50 in 2007), and averaged .294, while never hitting below .283, and batting .314 in 2005. For his efforts, he was named an American League All-Star in 2005 & 2007, and finished 18th in the MVP vote in 2005. He also represented the United States in the World Baseball Classic in 2009, batting .438 with one home run, two RBI, and one stolen base in four games.
Then, in 2010, the world for Brian (and Birdland) changed. Brian missed much of spring training that year with a herniated disc in his back, but came back in time for opening day. He went on the disabled list on April 10th with an abdominal strain, attempting to steal second base. He came back to the birds on the 23rd of July, but this was only the beginning of the seemingly endless string of injuries Brian would suffer throughout the next three years.
On September 27th of 2010, in the ninth inning of a game against the Rays in St. Pete, Brian stepped into the box to face Joaquin Benoit, with the Orioles leading 4-0. With a 2-2 count, Benoit threw Brian a textbook change-up. Brian was sitting on it, but swung and missed. On the way to the dugout, Brian smacked himself in the helmet with his bat, and all of a sudden the Trop went blurry.
Concussion number one.
Brian persevered, and made his way back in 2011, albeit briefly, and suffered his second concussion in less than eight months (May 16th @ Fenway) when he dove headfirst into first base and hit the back of his head. Brian missed the rest of 2011 and the beginning of the 2012 season.
Concussion number two.
On June 12th of the 2012 season, Brian was penciled into the Orioles starting lineup as our second baseman for the first time in over a year. Then, the next injury happened. Brian suffered a groin strain on July 3rd and opted for hip surgery on July 29th, which subsequently ended his season.
Brian came back this year, ready to play on opening day. Then, it happened again, possibly for the last time in an Orioles uniform. During the third game of the season (April 4th) Brian ruptured a tendon in his right knee trying to steal second base against - who else but the Rays. Brian came back on June 30th and picked up an RBI in his first game back.
From the time Brian was injured in 2010 until present day, we have seen Ryan Adams, Robert Andino, Alexi Casilla, Blake Davis, Ryan Flaherty, Cesar Izturis, Julio Lugo, Scott Moore, Yamaico Navarro, Omar Quintanilla, Steve Tolleson, Justin Turner, and now Jonathan Schoop play second base.
In merely three days, the longest tenured Oriole will find himself in a position that he has never been in before - without a contract. Brian has spent his entire career in the Orioles organization; something that is a rarity in this day and age. Brian will be 36 years old in a few weeks, and by no means should anyone believe that the tank is running on fumes. Brian today and Brian five years ago are certainly two very contrasting players. The sudden bursts of speed are a distant memory, but he's no Sam Horn on the bases. He still works the count, gets on a base at a very respectable clip, is a defensive asset and has the gap power that he always has. According to fangraphs he is a +1 defensively and a .7 in WAR.
Compare the stats:
Brian Roberts: In 252 at-bats this year - .246/.310/.381 - 11 Doubles, 7 Home Runs, 38 RBI, 3 Stolen Bases, and a .997 Fielding Pecentage (1 error)
Ryan Flaherty: In 239 at-bats this year - .218/.289/.385 - 10 Doubles, 10 Home Runs, 25 RBI, 2 Stolen Bases, and a .994 Fielding Percentage (2 errors)
Alexi Casilla: In 112 at-bats this year - .214/.268/.295 - 4 Doubles, 1 Home Run, 10 RBI, 9 Stolen Bases, and a 1.000 Fielding Percentage (0 errors)
Brian & Ryan had roughly the same at-bats, and Alexi had roughly half of Brian & Ryan, so if we double his numbers, we can compare them evenly:
BA - Roberts .246, Flaherty .218, Casilla .214
OBP - Roberts .310, Flaherty .289, Casilla .268
Slugging - Flaherty .385, Roberts .381, Casilla .295
Doubles - Roberts 11, Flaherty 10, Casilla 8
Home Runs - Flaherty 10, Roberts 7, Casilla 2
RBI - Roberts 38, Flaherty 25, Casilla 20
SB - Casilla 18, Roberts 3, Flaherty 2
Fielding - Casilla 1.000, Roberts .997, Flaherty .994
Category Wins - Roberts 4 (BA, OBP, Doubles, RBI), Flaherty 2 (Slugging, Home Runs), Casilla 2 (Stolen Bases, Fielding Percentage)
If we award three points for finishing first in a category, two for second, and one for third, let's see how it shakes down:
Roberts - 20 Points, Flaherty 16, Casilla 12.
What's the point of all of this?
Brian is still a valuable piece of the puzzle. Our offensive struggles seem to stem from being too aggressive at the plate and not being able to get on base consistently. Brian clearly has the edge over Ryan & Alexi there; he leads in batting average, on-base percentage, doubles, and runs batted in. By no means should we think that Ryan Flaherty is not a key piece of the future, because he absolutely is, however is he truly ready to contribute every day at the major league level? Probably not.
So then, what exactly should the plan be with Brian, Ryan, Alexi, and the seldomly-mentioned-in-this-article Jonathan Schoop?
Well, Mister Duquette and Mister Showalter, it appears as if we have some decisions to make. Should Birdland be skeptical of Brian's ability to remain healthy? Absolutely. Should we be content to just hand the reigns over to any of the other three on a full-time basis? Absolutely not. So, how should these four be handled in preparation for 2014?
Alexi Casilla - Tender a minor-league contract. Maybe he'll accept, but maybe he won't. He's no longer worthy of holding down a spot on the 25-man roster. In the event of injuries, under-performance, et cetera, he'll be stashed away at Norfolk, should the need arise.
Ryan Flaherty - Have him start the season in Norfolk as a super-utility player. He obviously has the infield positions under control, but he could use some time in the outfield, primarily to learn center field. Not spelling our regulars throughout the season proved to spark some controversy down the stretch this season. Once the staff and coaches in Norfolk feel that Ryan can contribute defensively anywhere on the diamond, and has 300 or so AAA at-bats under his belt, bring him back to the show.
Jonathan Schoop - Jonathan is clearly the second baseman of the future, and has provided some much-needed (yet much too late) spark to the Orioles lineup. Schoop makes the 25-man out of spring training and should start maybe four games a week at second base, with the ability to spell Manny at third and J.J. at shortstop.
Brian Roberts - Offer Brian a one-year major league contract with a base of 1.5-2MM. Build in incentives, allowing the contract to double with attainable goals based on 400 plate appearance. Also, build in a second-year that triggers with the same attainable goals. Use spring training as a time for Brian to develop into a utility player. Brian is an athlete, and should have very few issues giving others a day off at various positions.
Brian has spent his entire career as a member of the Orioles organization and could have easily walked away prior to signing his last extension. Some people probably wish that he would have, but he has been loyal to the only franchise he has ever known. We should give Brian the opportunity to leave this game on is terms, no one else's. We were blessed with his talent and ability for much more time than he and his injuries disappointed us. Brian could probably get a job in many organizations next year, but we should never let that be an option for him. Bring him back, put the coaching bug in his ear, and let's take it from there. Brian, I for one, would love to have you back, and hopefully Mister Duquette and Mister Showalter share my sentiment.
Here's to 2014 being the year of the bird...have a Natty Boh on me! Cheers.

There are some very nasty pieces of legislation floating around the House that could strip away some of the nation's most important energy and environmental programs.
We're not looking at some modest cuts here and there – Congress is considering spending bills that could completely decimate government's ability to regulate clean air and water, while turning clean energy programs into an afterthought.
Since the 112th Congress began, there have been 110 anti-environment votes taken by the House – with 20 related to climate change, 28 on air and water pollution, and 22 on clean energy.
So how has your representative been voting on environmental issues? Below is a list of the votes on key legislation. It's a daunting list, but it does show how important (or unimportant) energy and environment are to the House:

Well, it's after Halloween, so you know that it's "that time of the year". Usually I like to say this is the most wonderful time of the year: FREE AGENCY! However my loved ones are already asking what I want for the holidays. And honestly, I have no idea what to say.
Usually we do a "what's your favorite piece of cubs gear" thread. I figured I'd combine that with "What should I ask for" this year. What SHOULD I ask for? I have a Wood jersey and a Santo jersey (thanks to those who helped me out a few weeks ago). I have a few t shirts. What else do i need? What kind of things have you come across that really make you happy?

BILD Established by Plaster School of Business
JOPLIN, MO – The Robert W. Plaster School of Business at Missouri Southern State University has established a new institute to be known as The Institute for Business Innovation, Leadership and Development (BILD).
The mission of BILD will be to help companies, individuals and organizations to create and expand new ventures, and contribute to the strategic economic development and positioning of the Joplin Region.
Dr. John Groesbeck, Dean of the Plaster School of Business, said, "We are excited about the possibilities of BILD and how this institute can become a nexus for bringing the educational assets of the state and nation to our region. This is a role we should be filling as Joplin's comprehensive regional university."
The Plaster School of Business houses all of the university's programs in business, as well as those in computing, software development and industrial engineering technology.
"Our School offers a powerful combination of programs that all support the primary growth drivers in the global economy. We want to bring together business, computing technology and engineering together in unique ways that help grow existing businesses and new ventures that are leaders and innovators in the global market.

The Edmonton Balloon Club, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada,
invites you to share the experience of hot air ballooning! Go for
a flight, be part of the team, learn how to fly!
The Edmonton Balloon Club has been the centre of ballooning in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada since it's formation in 1973. Numerous
balloonists in Edmonton had their first ballooning experiences with the
club and many have gone on to purchase their own balloons, become
commercial balloonists or be active in other ballooning organizations in
Meeting New People
Balloons don't get into the air by themselves! Each balloon needs a
ground crew of able and willing people. Besides your team-mates, you'll
meet pilots, passengers, landowners and a host of curious onlookers, all
fascinated by those colourful balloons!
Club members do more than send balloons up in the air. The Edmonton
Balloon Club holds a meeting each month to discuss club business and all
aspects of the sport. The active social committee plans parties and
other special events for all members and their friends. Your
participation is all it takes.
Up, Up and Away
Balloon club members delight in their responsibilities as ground
crew. Nothing creates a greater atmosphere of accomplishment,
camaraderie and cooperation than being part of the team! The action
starts at the launch site by unloading the balloon envelope and basket.
As you spread out the yards of colourful fabric and hold open the mouth
of the balloon, another crew member will position the large fan needed
to blow cool air inside. The pilot heats the air using a burner fueled
by liquid propane. As the air warms, and the balloon assumes an upright
position, another crew member steadies it by holding the crown line
which is attached to the top of the balloon. The passengers are invited
aboard, and as the balloon slips away from the ground, the crew prepares
for the chase! You may be asked to drive the chase vehicle, or may
prefer to sit back and enjoy the ride. Keep the balloon insight, though!
The pilot will need you to retrieve the balloon when it lands.
Once everyone has assisted in packing up the balloon, the champagne
appears and a 200 year old tradition is celebrated.
Learn to Fly
Since its beginning in 1973, the Edmonton Balloon Club has expanded
from a handful of participants to an active membership, many of whom are
Balloons are flown by pilots licensed by the Transport Canada who
have undergone a medical examination and have fulfilled the training
requirements. The Edmonton Balloon Club offers flight training to
interested individuals at reasonable rates. Call for more information.
The Edmonton Balloon Club participates in competitive events held
locally as well as nationally. Some club members become involved in an
organizational capacity, others act as event officials, while others
join in the more competitive aspect by flying or chasing a balloon. Tall
tales abound at social activities organized for balloon enthusiasts.
Fly With Us
The club does not offer any commercial services at this time.

How fun is this Carrot Poke Cake?! It's a spin on a traditional poke cake- vanilla pudding infused carrot cake with a super easy cream cheese frosting! I brought this cake to a recent Church function and it was instantly a hit. Could you not totally see this on your table for Easter dinner? I found the cute little carrots at the dollar store, they're plastic and filled with a sour candy powder. It was a perfect treat for the {Read More}
Carrot Poke Cake
Nanaimo Cheesecake
I have been dreaming about making this Nanaimo Cheesecake ever since I made these Nanaimo Bars a few months ago. I basically took all the goodness of a Nanaimo Bar and married it with a cheesecake. And you better believe it's the most delicious cheesecake you'll ever consume. Nanaimo (pronounced Nuh-Nigh-Moe) is a city in British Columbia, Canada. That is where the Nanaimo Bar recipe was originated long ago. The bottom layer of this cheesecake is a combination of cocoa, graham cracker {Read More}
Nanaimo Bars
I told myself I wasn't going to do this… I'm only in Canada temporarily, so I didn't want to make any recipes that were specific to this region, but my good friend insisted that I make these infamous Nanaimo Bars and share them on my blog. She handed me her grandmother's recipe, and well… I couldn't resist. I had heard of these Nanaimo Bars, but didn't really know what they were and certainly had never tasted them before. So what {Read More}
Cherry Nut Bread {Pat's Recipes}
I'm thrilled to be able to share another wonderful recipe from my friend Pat's collection. Pat was tickled when she read the wonderful remarks about her Fluffy Brown Sugar Icing, she just loves to be able to share these delicious treats with so many. After spending hours looking over this stack of tattered and torn papers, stained with time and maybe just a dash of vanilla, I came across a slim piece of paper that was titled, "Cherry Nut Bread." {Read More}
Carrot Gooey Cake
If you're looking for the perfect dessert to share for Easter, then you have to make this Carrot Gooey Cake. I'm only slightly obsessed with gooey cakes, they go over well for any occasion. There's my Pumpkin Gooey Cake for the Fall, Hot Chocolate Gooey Cake for the Winter… so it's only natural that there should be a Carrot Gooey Cake for Spring! This Carrot Gooey Cake is phenomenal. I don't really feel like I need to describe it more {Read More}
Bakery Style Carrot Cake Muffins with a Cream Cheese Glaze
Let's talk about muffin tops for a minute. Not the kind that most of us women are trying to avoid on a daily basis {or is that just me??}… we'll save that one for another time.

But most importantly, how can YOU make your muffins rise up to the occasion? {Read More}
Family Friendly Banana Fosters
Is it just me or are you getting sick of winter too? Give me some sun, give me some tropics, give me some Virgin Banana Fosters. Banana Fosters is a deliciously rich dessert that is filled with spiced bananas and walnuts floating in an intense caramel sauce. It's usually drowned in rum then flambéd to cook off the alcohol, but I skipped the alcohol to make this a family friendly dessert that will surely become a favorite. Don't worry though, {Read More}
Blueberry Walnut Oatmeal Muffin Tops
More blueberries! I'm going to tell you something that might shock you. This recipe was inspired by McDonald's. Yes, it's true. I eat at McDonald's. I have 4 kids, can you blame me? If you haven't tried their Blueberry Oatmeal yet, you should. It's delish. And it's what inspired these Blueberry Walnut Muffin Tops. I wanted to pack all that yummy, nutty and sweet flavor into a handheld breakfast on the go. School is just around the corner, and what {Read More}

TOWSON, Md. – The Naval Academy held off a late rally by the Towson University women's basketball team for a 56-55 win in SECU Arena on Friday night in the season opener for both squads. Senior Tanisha McTiller recorded the ninth "double-double" of her career to lead the Tiger efforts.
"We continued to play and continued to fight and didn't quit which will be an important attribute to the success of this program down the stretch," said Towson coach Niki Reid Geckeler. "We need to keep working on the chemistry."
Navy (1-0) which held a four-point lead coming out of the half quickly pushed its advantage to 35-24 with 18:35 to play in the game. The Midshipmen hit a pair of three-pointers in their 8-3 run to start the second half. The Tigers responded with a 9-2 run of their own to make it a 36-34 game with 16:02 to play. Sophomore Dominique Johnson scored five of the Tigers' nine during that stretch. The Mids pushed their advantage back to seven with 14:50 to play but Towson scored nine of the next 10, which made it a 43-43 game with 12:27 to go. A lay-up from Sarita Condie at 12:02 gave Navy the lead back. The Mids pushed their advantage to 47-43 at 10:59.
McTiller scored five points in the span of a minute and a half and the Tigers found themselves trailing by just one, 49-48 with 7:16 to play. Redshirt senior Nyree Williams made one-of-two from the foul line at 4:20 and tied the game at 51-51. Five points from Audrey Bauer gave Navy a 56-52 lead with 1:02 to play. Johnson hit a jumper with 49 seconds left on the clock to cut the deficit to two, 56-54. Both teams had their chances before a Navy foul sent McTiller to the line with seven seconds left. McTiller hit the first which made it a one-point game but missed the second and Navy corralled the rebound to help secure the victory.
Towson opened the game on a 13-9 run as McTiller had eight points in the game's first 12 minutes. Four straight points from Navy's Jade Geif tied the game at 13-13. Geif's spurt started a 12-0 run by the Mids that gave the visitors a 21-13 lead. Towson closed out the half on a 9-5 run that included four points from McTiller. However, a late three from Kara Pollinger sent Navy into the half with a 26-22 lead.
Navy shot 40.7% from the field for the game while the Tigers shot 34.9%. Towson finished the game with a 47-34 edge in the rebounding battle.
McTiller led the Tigers with 21 points and 15 rebounds while adding five assists and three steals. Redshirt junior LaTorri Hines-Allen had 14 points and eight rebounds in her first appearance after sitting out last year due to the NCAA transfer rule. Johnson added 10 points and five assists while Williams had 10 rebounds and five points.
Bauer led Navy with 18 points and four rebounds while Pollinger contributed 12 points.
Towson is back in action on Monday, Nov. 11 at N.C. State for a 7 p.m. tip-off.

RODEO: Allsups have another top-end cutting horse
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Lonnie and Barbara Allsup, who own more than 300 convenience stores throughout West Texas and New Mexico, also have owned some explosive cutting horses.
In 1993, for example, an Allsup mare named Little Badger Dulce won the Fort Worth-based National Cutting Horse Association Super Stakes, which is the middle jewel of the sport's Triple Crown Series, with veteran rider W. Pete Branch. Lonnie Allsup also clinched the 1996 NCHA Non-pro world title aboard Little Badger Dulce.
The Allsups, who reside in Clovis, N.M., also own MS Peppy Cat, winner of the NCHA Open Division world title in 2008 and 2010 with Branch holding the reins.
Throughout the 2011-12 regular season on the NCHA aged event circuit, the Allsups have had another heavy hitter named Kit Kat Sugar, a 4-year-old, first-year competitor that finished second during last month's NCHA Super Stakes in Fort Worth. The Allsups earned $68,186 after Kit Kat Sugar finished as reserve champion behind KR Isadora Dual and Clay Johnson, a native of Post who lives in Whitt.
"He's very expressive and real intense on a cow," Lonnie Allsup said. "When he hooks onto a cow, it looks like he forgets everything else that's going on."
Kit Kat Sugar is entered in the May 10-26 NCHA-approved Breeders Invitational in Tulsa, Okla.
The stallion, a grandson of Little Badger Dulce, first grabbed attention by reaching the final round of the December NCHA Futurity in Fort Worth. The debuting horse tied for 20th for $32,121 at the first jewel of the NCHA's Triple Crown. Kit Kat Sugar also won the 4-year-old open division title at the February Bonanza Cutting in Glen Rose ($27,996).
PBR update
Though he was sidelined with a head injury during last weekend's Professional Bull Riders Built Ford Tough Series tour stop in Billings, Mont., Valdiron de Oliveira, a Brazilian who lives in Decatur, still ranks No. 1 in the world title race with 6,772.25 points.
He declined to compete at the Montana show after being stepped on at the April 27-29 tour stop in Uncasville, Conn. He eventually will undergo surgery to repair a fracture of his eye socket.
Oliveira's absence allowed second-ranked Silvano Alves, the defending world champion who also lives in Decatur, to move to within 497.75 points of the top spot in the world standings, while third-ranked L.J. Jenkins, who finished seventh in the average, is only 670.75 points behind. Jenkins grew up in Texico. N.M., and now lives in Porum, Okla.
Guilherme Marchi, who finished second in Billings, moved up to fourth place, trailing by 866.25 points, and J.B. Mauney is fifth, 1,048 points off the lead.
After posting a final round marking of 87.75, Austin Meier clinched the Billings title with a four-ride score of 337.25 and earned $32,200.
PRCA update
When the Guymon, Okla., Pioneer Days Rodeo concluded its three-day run Sunday, many of the world's top competitors earned a share of the $292,219 purse.
In bareback riding, defending world champion Kaycee Feild pocketed $2,679 after tying for second place with a score of 86, three points behind winner J.R. Vezain, who turned in an 89 aboard the Carr Pro Rodeo Co. bronc MGM Deuces Night ($4,019). Will Lowe, the three-time world champion from Canyon, raked in $1,473 after finishing fourth with an 84.
The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association's classic saddle bronc riding event concluded with a tie between Chad Ferley, the 2006 world champion, and Cole Elshere. They scored 87 points and left with $3,066.
In barrel racing, three-time world champion Sherry Cervi clinched the title after turning in a two-run time of 34.55 seconds. Jake Barnes, a seven-time world heading champion, and Jhett Johnson, the defending world heeling champion, won the team roping average with a 21.8 on three runs. Two-time world champion Dean Gorsuch paced the steer wrestling field with a three-run time of 13.5.
Other champions were Hunter Herrin, tie-down roping, Tim Bingham, bull riding and Shay Good, steer roping.

Mark Zandveld is the initiator of Zandscape.
Dot Time Records recording group Zandscape is the brainchild of Mark Zandveld (Holland) - he is responsible for all twelve compositions on the eponymous CD and takes credit for the bass parts. Teamed with vibraphonist Gunnar Graafmans (Holland/Sweden), guitarist Daniel Tato de Moraes (Uruguay) and drummer Enrique Firpi (Uruguay), he has found a unique sound.
The instrumentation combined with the the fresh variety of tunes – each has its own distinct character result in music that is both melodic and adventurous, reminding of 70's ECM sounds by Corea, Burton, Jarret, Metheny and Swallow, but with a contemporary dressing....
read more
The compositions of Zandveld contain substance and are embedded in a sufficiently strong and sometimes dark sounding foundation Jan Jasper Tamboer - Jazzenzo.nl
The tracks reflect the personality of the writer: precise, harmonious, thorough, relaxed and full of respect for the jazz tradition. Mark Zandveld has succeeded in creating his own sound in which the vibraphone and guitar take turns for the solos, the drums are subtle but unmistakably propelling and the bassist delivers pleasant melodic contributions. Hans Invernizzi - Jazzflits
This international ensemble provides a pleasantly captivating album, the sound of the band is reminiscent of ECM albums Steve Swallow and Gary Burton. Zandscape is a valuable addition in the Dutch jazz landscape. Mark Rikxoort - Jazz Contrasts
I think this is a beautiful form of bebop, not necessarily typical Dutch, which is not a bad thing. To me, the nice thing about this music is its harmonic and technical complexity. It reminds me a CD of Gary Burton with Mike Gibbs: Throb, that I often listened to in my younger years. I was very fond of the light sound of the vibraphone with guitar.....great! Jan Akkerman - guitarist

Pretty pumped this was still on tap, here we go.
A- Pours a pretty ugly, murky orangish-tan color, with a very sticky tan head. Some light shines through the top and bottom of the glass, but the rest of the body lets no light through.
S- Tons of mangoes, tropical fruits, herbaceous hops, lemon zest. Could almost pass as a fruit smoothie.
T- Huge on the mango and tropical fruit, still getting a lot of herbal hop qualities, big citrus. Ridiculously fruity, but hoppy fruity. This is big and bold, with the alcohol pretty well hidden with a little bit towards the end.
M- The feel is not great, probably due to the intense amount of ingredients. Somewhat thick and syrupy, with almost a "dirty" mouthfeel that you would find in juice with a hint of pulp. Does not take away much from this one, with the flavor and aroma being the stars.
O- It's an over-the-top beer, but that's okay every once in a while. The aroma and flavor is tough to beat and this one is definitely worth seeking out.

Poured from a growler filled Thursday, July 4th. Super cloudy with a half a finger off bright white head. The aroma is packed with fresh mango and super citrusy hops. How someone cannot taste mango when drinking this beer is unbelievable to me. The amount of bitterness complements the fruit addition. The alcohol only becomes present as it warms to room temperature. A very dangerous beer at this ABV as this one goes down way too easy. A steal at $15.50 a growler

12oz bottle. Big thanks go to Stakem for grabbing me a bottle of this. Pours a hazed apricot color with a robust sudsy white head. Retention and lacing are good. This smells of juicy mango with a fresh bitter citrus presence and some sharp feeling pine notes. Sweet grains adds some twang. The taste is similar, with a tangy blend of tropical mango and sweet bready notes. Strong bitter citric hops are fairly aggressive here, as is a strong resinous character that really lingers. The mouthfeel is fuller bodied with a pretty lively feeling carbonation. Maybe a little too sharp in spots. That high alcohol is felt here, adding an assertive warmth to this that gets to be a big too much at times. Things could be worse for an 11%+ beer though. This is OK. The mango flavor is welcome but the aggressive combo of the hops and high ABV really cuts down on the overall drinkability of this. I'm still glad that I finally got to try this though.

Max's had Scratch 97 on tap for Hop Fest and I told DrBier about how I was dying to try their Mango IPA, and the next day he brought me a bottle. Thanks man.
12 oz. bottle poured into a Burley Oak snifter
A: It looks like thick mango juice or a mango smoothie. It is the color of mango flesh. There are a lot of particulates as well. It really looks like you just juiced a mango and added some spirit to it.
S: You can really smell the mango here. It melds quite nicely with the standard ipa scents, and really dominates the citrus section. Mostly mango flavors here. There is also a bitter pith smell here, but it is almost the smell of alcohol as well.
T: WOW! For a second there, I thought I got some chunks of mango. There is a ton of mango flavors here. Ok, this is definitely unfiltered because I definitely got some mango pith/flesh there (I'm not eating, so I know it wasn't just food in my mouth). The booze is there but it is quite understated, and really only shows up at the beginning of each sip and in the back of the mouth with this bitterness of an aftertaste. The alcohol is the only part where you get any hint or taste of the malt bill. Weird aftertaste though. There is actually a bit of a peppery/spice taste.
M: It is quite carbonated and there is an initial burst of carbonation (almost like one big bubble) followed by a steady stream of prickly, coarse bubbles.
O: The only detriment to this beer is the booziness and odd aftertaste. You seem to really taste and notice the booziness the more you drink it. It really showcases the mango very well. This beer is weird in that as it drew closer to me finalizing my score and thus as I finished my beer, my opinion and scores seemed to dip.

This is my 70th Troeg beer. One of these was Scratch 58 which was the original Mango IPA. That was a great beer and I really looked forward to this years release. What a disappointment for me. I don't know what it is but this years Mango IPA has a very unpleasant taste. Some folks seem to love it but not me. Dogfish Head 120 is similar in ABV and IBU but iris a much nicer tasting beer. You cannot really taste the mango. All I get is a bitterness/ sour that lasts too long.

Picked up this howler from the Syracuse Real Food Co-op—was absolutely delighted to see this on tap at the damn Co-op. I thought this stuff was going to be impossible to get my hands on . . . but I sure am glad I did. Straight pour from a 1L flip-top growler to a 15cl tasting flute, shared with Saul & Laura of Griffin Hill Brewing. What tremendous hosts and friends.
Appearance (2.5): This beer pours with a completely cloudy (opaque, frankly) orange body, with 2.5 fingers of fat-bubbled head, showing great retention in taking its sweet-ass time to die down, but with only modest lacing. It's not super looking, with rather poor lacing for the style, but ah well. I personally don't mind a cloudy DIPA, but this isn't very attractive for the style.
Smell (4.75): Straight up sweet ruby red grapefruit, mango, and pineapple flood every pour of your face. Holy shit. Pale, bready malt tones exist somewhere in the nose, but they're mostly just obliterated by the onslaught of hops and mango nectar.
Taste (4.5): MANGO, just pure fucking mango—mango juice, with a light carbonation and stuff, almost spicy butterness. Incredibly bitter, actually, with just straight up red grapefruit flesh and peel. Booze burns a bit on the tongue, which isn't shocking for how damn big this beer is, but fortunately it mixes well with the oily, zesty hop and fruit character. Jeez Louise. Malts? Nah, just fruit, bitterness, and booze. And awesomeness.
Mouthfeel (3.75): Modest carbonation, complementing a viscous body with full- to heavy-weight feel, oily but sticky at the same time—it's really just like pure mango nectar, but with booze heat and some light carbonation. Could be zingier, I suppose, in terms of carbonation, but it's decent for such a big DIPA.
Overall (4.5): This is a fucking good DIPA with so, so much juicy mango and intense bitterness it's not even funny. The booze is there, no question about that, but it blends into the hop bitterness with that burn. This beer is so, so damn tasty . . . I love it. I haven't had a (D)IPA this big, intense, full-flavored, and bitter in a long, long time. So refreshing. Seek it out!

Partial 64 oz. growler purchased from the brewery on 6/28/13 from a co-worker (thanks,!) un bottling date, poured into my FFF Teku glass, drank 7/2/13 over one hour.
A: 3.50 - straw golden-yellow coloration, murky even for an imperial IPA (can't see or read through at all), minimal white head dissipates into subtle glass lacing, big-time alcohol legs!
S: 4.25 - on opening the growler initially, there was a huge mango aroma...on pouring into the glass, in addition to the mango, there is lots of overripe grapefruit and pineapple...also picking up alcohol notes consistent (but more subtle than expected for 11.3% ABV); little dank and herbal/spicy aroma distant in the background
T: 4.50 - the tropical and hop bitterness hit almost at once for me and lingers for a long time, alcohol notes also predominate, malt breadiness starts to kick in from the background
M: 4.50 - full, full-bodied with thick hop oils coating the tongue, 11.3% is definitely detetable; low-to-medium carbonation likely 2/2 to repeated keg opening-and-closing
O: 4.25 - having just recently been wickedly impressed with the triple-dry hopped Perpetual IPA, this one doesn't stand up because there are lots of qualities that I think are atypical for an imperial IPA - too murky, too boozy and too sweet; as I was thinking how to describe the style, I think that it comes closer to blond tropical American barleywine than a DIPA; I probably wouldn't purchase this again but certainly appreciated the drinking experience of another unique Scratch beer from one of the best mid-Atlantic breweries

This game should most closely resemble the 2001 game, a low-scoring defense struggle.
The score will be 10-3 at halftime, with OU's field goal coming as a result of good field posion provided by a Colt McCoy interception.
OU will score another field goal int he second half, making it 10-6, and making texas fans slightly nervous.
Jordan Shipley will remove all doubt with a punt return for a TD in the 4th quarter, giving you the 4th victory in 5 years.
Those of you who are worried about this game need to remember something: This OU team isn't all that good. If texas had any kind of offense at all, this game would be a blowout. Given texas' weak offensive line production so far this season, and given OU's depth on DL, this will be a low scoring affair.
However, texas will still win the game.

Borderlands 2 Level Cap Raised To 61 With Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack
Posted on Tuesday, April 2 @ 12:33:26 Eastern by Nicholas Tan
Have you started getting bored with Borderlands 2? That is, after playing through the game five times with each character? Well, Gearbox Software has the next big update with the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack, which raises the level cap from the measly 50 to 61. This will allow you to build characters with a wealth of skills from two skill trees.
Available free for those with a Borderlands 2 Season Pass, the pack also adds a third play-through difficulty called Ultimate Vault Hunter which adds a much higher drop rate for pearlescent weapons. Oh, now you're listening, huh?! Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software, is proud of the patch:
The pack has naturally been included in the Season Pass available for $29.99. By itself, the pack is only $5 or 400 MSP.

GARNER — When Cary Hicks lost his group health insurance earlier this year, he was floored by how much an individual policy could cost him because he is a diabetic.
"I was looking for anything," said Hicks, who runs a small construction company. "I didn't have insurance. I couldn't afford any."
That's when Hicks discovered a new public health insurance program created by the legislature. He now pays $550 a month in premiums -- not cheap, but one-third of what a similar policy would have cost him in the private market.
As Congress debates how to overhaul the nation's health-care system, North Carolina has dipped its toe into the public-option debate. Those who can't find affordable health insurance from private companies because they have cancer, heart disease or other ailments now have the option of buying insurance from a high-risk pool set up by the state.
The program, called Inclusive Health, is little known. It has enrolled 2,050, only half of the number expected. But an estimated 1.4 million North Carolinians don't have health insurance.
Inclusive Health is aimed largely at helping middle-class people who wake up one morning and find themselves without health insurance. Enrollees have either been turned down by private insurance companies, have lost their jobs or don't have access to Medicare or Medicaid.
Hicks, 54, of Garner, said he had never given much thought to health insurance before this year. He was covered under his wife's policy until January, when her employer, Corporate Press, a 40-year-old Raleigh printing company, went out of business. His construction company, which mainly builds fences, was too small to afford health insurance.
Bad luck sometimes comes in bunches. Hicks, who had not been hospitalized in 12 years, got an infected elbow in March, and the infection spread to his bloodstream. It put him the hospital for a week -- a $12,000 out-of-pocket expense.
After a taste of being uninsured, Hicks went shopping for a health insurance policy. But because he is a severe diabetic, and therefore viewed as a high risk, the cost was prohibitive. Hicks said the state's biggest insurer, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, which has 86 percent of individual health insurance policies in the state, offered a policy with a $1,648 monthly premium. Hicks said that was unaffordable at a time when his household had gone from two incomes to one.
"We've got to eat, and we've got a house payment," Hicks said. "It was just too much to handle."
He saw a brief item in The News & Observer about the start of a new state health insurance program. Within a month, he had enrolled in Inclusive Health. His premium is $550 per month, and it covers his three daily shots of insulin, his blood pressure medicine and other medical costs.
A new plan
North Carolina became the 35th state to create a high-risk health insurance plan in 2007, after a decade of debate in the legislature. It began offering insurance policies in January.
The measure had the backing of health groups, physicians, hospitals and insurance agents.
Adam Searing, a health-care consumer expert, said North Carolina's high-risk pool is relatively industry friendly compared with those in other states. It includes a restriction that the risk pool charge premiums 175 percent of what private insurers charge, so as not to compete with private markets. And it provides no subsidies for the poor.
While it helps middle-class people without insurance, it is of little use to the poor who cannot afford the average monthly premium of $550.
Although people with a wide range of incomes participate in the high-risk pool, the largest group tends to be middle-class people making $40,000 to $60,000 a year.
"I don't think we ever tried to sell it as panacea for our health-care problems," said Searing, director of the N.C. Justice Center's Health Access Coalition. "It is limited to a set of people with serious health conditions who can also afford fairly substantial health premiums."
Michael Keough, the program's executive director, said the newness of the plan, and the lack of a marketing budget, has limited its growth. The program has held enrollment sessions around the state to generate interest.
"We know there is a sizeable number of people who are paying more for their health insurance coverage," Keough said. "We can cut their health insurance rates by 50 percent to two-thirds. But they either don't know about us or they are just too nervous about us to make a change. It's a new idea. It's state-funded. People have to be reassured."
Although started by the government, the high-risk pool is a public/private mix. It is a nonprofit agency run out of an office park near Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh. It is overseen by a board appointed by the governor, the state Senate and the state House, and includes representatives from insurance companies, the N.C. Medical Society, the N.C. Hospital Association, insurance agents and consumer representatives.
The $30 million budget comes from premiums paid by those insured, fees paid by insurance companies to the state Department of Insurance, and money from the state Health and Wellness Fund from North Carolina's settlement with tobacco companies.
It's unclear how any federal overhaul of the health-care system would affect the future of Inclusive Health or other state-run high-risk insurance pools.
A last resort
Among the first to sign up for Inclusive Health when it started in January was Donna Islam, a stay-at-home mother of seven who lives in Weddington, outside Charlotte.
She found herself without insurance when her husband, a contractor, lost his job. The family purchased COBRA, the temporary insurance for those laid off. When that ran out, she found private insurance at a cost of $650 per month for the rest of the family -- except for her youngest child, Devin.
Devin, now 4, had contracted a rare form of cancer involving the optic nerve. The cheapest policy she could find for him was offered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina for $975 per month. But a Blue Cross employee told her about Inclusive Health.
Devin, whose cancer is in remission, qualified for an Inclusive Health policy with a premium of $250 per month. Islam said the policy was the family's last resort for insuring their child.
"Devin would have fallen through the cracks," Islam said. "Blue Cross was the lowest we received, and that wasn't an option. I was feeling very helpless."

Research activities in which the only involvement of human subjects will be in one or more of the categories listed in 45 CFR 46.101 (b) (1-6) fall under exempt category. Applications for exempt projects are reviewed and approved administratively in the AHC IRB office. There are no submission deadlines for exempt projects. In addition the study is reviewed for HIPAA requirements.
Note: It is the AHC IRB and not the investigator, who determines whether a project falls into an exempt category.
Certain categories of research may be reviewed through the expedited review procedure authorized in 45 CFR46.110 (revised in November 1998). Expedited studies cannot pose greater than minimal risk to subjects. Expedited studies are reviewed by the office staff prior to being sent for review by the AHC IRB Chair or the designated IRB members. There are no submission deadlines for expedited projects. In addition the study is reviewed for HIPAA requirements.
Projects posing greater than minimal risk to subjects, as well as minimal risk projects that do not meet the expedited criteria, are reviewed by the full IRB at convened meetings. The AHC IRB uses the primary reviewer system and a simple majority vote is required for approval. Protocol submissions have to meet submission deadlines and have to include all necessary materials and signoffs. Incomplete submissions (even if they met submission deadline) will not be placed on the meeting agenda. The AHC IRB meetings are held twice a month with three rotating IRB panels. Please refer to the AHC IRB Meeting Schedule for meeting dates and submission deadlines.
Note: The standard requirements for informed consent (or its waiver, alteration, or exception) apply regardless of the type of review -- expedited or full board.

Our 2011 BCS Championship Game thread is starting to overflow so I think it's time for a new thread now that the game is complete and the Auburn Tigers are your 2011 BCS National Champions. Cam Newton and the Tigers won 22-19 courtesy of a game-winning field goal by Wes Byrum as time expired. It's safe it say Byrum has his choice of Southern Belles tonight.
The game itself was fairly ugly up until the wild fourth quarter. In a game that was billed as an offensive showdown, we saw the two defenses step up and the two quarterbacks struggle for extended stretches. Although the two quarterbacks finished with solid yardage totals, neither was all that impressive in the bigger picture. Cam Newton will probably still convince someone to take him fairly high in the draft, although I remain in opposition to that. I just don't see him as a west coast offense quarterback.
Speaking of all that, Drew K will have some thoughts on Cam Newton hopefully later tomorrow, and then he'll follow that up with a look at the available college QBs and who would be a solid fit in the west coast offense. Knowing that this will apparently not be a three yards and a cloud of dust offense makes it a little easier to swallow some of the draft options out there.
In spite of all the ugliness, we still got to watch a dramatic finish filled with some truly memorable plays. The Michael Dyer rush late in the game is something that will be remembered for a long time, and not just by cringing Oregon Ducks fans. It won't go down as the best BCS title game given the horrendous start, but an exciting finish can often make up for that. It remains to be seen how this game will be viewed a decade from now, or even two or three years from now, but I was sufficiently entertained at the end.
