Charleston, SC (Sports Network) - Nik Cochran scored 18 points to lead the Davidson Wildcats to a 72-57 win over The Citadel Bulldogs in a Southern Conference bout at McAlister Fieldhouse.
Chris Czerapowicz and Jake Cohen netted 14 and 13 points, respectively, and JP Kuhlman finished with 10 points and seven assists as Davidson (19-7, 14-1 SoCon) won a 10th consecutive game. Tyler Kalinoski accounted for another 10 points off the bench as well.
Mike Groselle paced The Citadel (6-19, 3-12) with 21 points on 10-of-14 shooting from the floor, while P.J. Horgan registered a double-double with 10 points and 10 boards.
After trailing by as much as eight early on, Davidson finished the first half on a 26-7 run and led 37-20 at intermission. The Wildcats made 4-of-5 from behind the arc and 9-of-10 at the foul line in the opening period.
The Bulldogs scored nine points before the first media timeout of the second half but were unable to stop Davidson on the other end. Consecutive baskets by Cochran and an old fashioned three-point play by De'Mon Brooks at the 8:04 mark put the game away for the Wildcats.
Davidson had just eight turnovers as it improved to 96-45 all-time over The Citadel.

Animal Law
Illinois Law Allows Fur Trappers to Scoop Up Roadkill
Posted Jan 9, 2012 8:58 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A new Illinois law aims to help clean up roadways by allowing people with the appropriate licenses to help themselves to roadkill.
Under the law, anyone with a furbearer's license can take animals killed on the road during trapping season for their pelts or for meat, according to the Associated Press. Lawmakers overrode a veto by Gov. Pat Quinn, who feared the dangers of letting people venture onto roads to pick up the dead animals.
At least 14 states have legislation on roadkill, according to informal research done for AP by the National Conference of State Legislatures. Among them are laws allowing drivers to keep animals they hit, though some restrict the catch to deer or bears.

Casual dining quality grows
October 15, 2012-- Furniture Today,
HIGH POINT - Casual dining suppliers are finding there's room for better goods in their lines.
The hot and growing style continues to be contemporary at companies including Canadel and Gat Creek. That category encompasses a breadth of looks - among them architectural modern, urban and loft, Art Deco, Asian, industrial, mid-century modern, retro and postmodern.
And, while nobody's giving up on bread and butter promotional groups, better quality goods are getting more action in the $599 to $999 range at companies such as Steve Silver and Cramco.
Dave Shock, Cramco's national sales manager, said the company has started to see more movement in the $599 to $799 price range and up to $999 for some groups. That has meant putting more look into the product and creating more interesting bases.
"We've been in the contemporary chrome business for years but now we've added a lot of design to it to give the consumer a reason to get into it," Shock said.
The company reports a good response here to contemporary sets with surfboard shapes, intricate steel bases and chrome accents, spring-loaded butterfly leaf storage and polyester tops - which resemble lacquered looks.
Contemporary looks have also made their way into the company's American-made castered dining - sometimes called motion dining - with blacks paint and neutral color seats proving popular this market, he said.
Also hugely popular set this market is Octave, with a black layered table top consisting of mirrored bottom, circular wood center and tempered glass top, Shock said. Gray chairs feature suede seats. A five-piece set retails for $799.
Steve Silver also reports that it has added significantly to its dining offerings in the $799 to $999 range, and is getting a good response to those products here.
The company has 25 new dining groups this market. Among the styles retailers are responding to are pieces with rustic pine looks, pieces with planing and light distressing, chunky Mission looks, tabletops with band-saw cut accents, wire-brushed looks, and blue stone and marble wrap tops.
"We want items that retailers can make margin on," said Steve Silver, president. "We're not moving up. We're adding price points."
Custom dining manufacturer Canadel continues to see a move toward contemporary, said Howard Cohen, director of sales.
He said the company's curvy Euro-contemporary, and mid-century inspired looks are doing well, and a new thick box leg option also has been well received by dealers.
Canadel is also getting good response to its new weathered gray finish with some chalky hangup. Retailers are also seeking out Canadel more as the strong trend toward colorful designs gains steam, Cohen said.
Norwalk says it's getting a good response to its Benton Collection, made with reclaimed wood from barns built over a century ago by German immigrants in Holmes County, Ohio. Tables are made with thick, lightly finished planked wood tops that still have original rotary saw cuts, using oak and other woods. The table retails for about $1,999, according to Reyna Moore, vice president of merchandising and marketing.
Moore said retailers like how the table is merchandised in the showroom, a blend of the old and the new. Norwalk is showing the set with its Moxie stool seats, which have storage options and velvet animal print fabric.
"People are looking for pieces that you can scoot up to the dining table to use as a chair, put your feet up on or use it as a cocktail," said Moore.
Gat Creek president Gat Caperton said his company is getting good response to its new Samuel dining table with architectural design influences.
At retail, Caperton said, lighter and pure browns and grays are getting more action, while browns with a reddish hue are slowing.
Dining source John Thomas is doing well with its solid rubberwood Old World two-tone, traditionally styled group with an onyx and chestnut finish, said Bryan Sprinkles, national sales manager.
The group will be added into the company's Select custom color program, he added.
The company is also extending upholstered seat options to any seat in its line.
Sprinkles said dealers also like the company's move to add metal table glides, which it now has on about 70% of its line.

NextiraOne has teamed up with collaboration partners Cisco, Microsoft and Alcatel-Lucent to deliver a seminar the explored 'The Future of Collaboration'.
Addressing an audience of IT and communications managers from enterprise customers across a range of major industry sectors, the event included vendor presentations on topics including: network technologies that enable faster adoption of new applications and devices without impacting performance or security; building a Collaborative workspace and a demonstration of a Unified Communications platform.
Tim Banting, Head of Business Development - Collaboration for NextiraOne, led the event and commented: "Collaboration needs to be on the roadmap for large organisations as current communications methods are on borrowed time. Organisations that ignore Collaboration and continue using communications technologies that exist solely within corporate boundaries will be behind the curve in the next five years."
ith Gartner predicting that 90% of enterprises will support corporate applications on personal devices by 2014, NextiraOne believes that the important factors to consider when building Collaboration into an organisation remain constant: cost, functionality, security, integration and reliability.
However, the way organisations manage Collaboration is changing, with employees benefiting from flexible and mobile working across a multitude of devices and locations, high bandwidth-consuming applications, and access to corporate data beyond an organisation's physical boundaries.
Looking forward, Banting sees that organisations face a dilemma of maintaining control while extending the boundaries of the IT estate: "The Collaboration landscape is experiencing a significant change in working patterns and the use of consumer technology in the workplace. Without the right business tools,organisations are turning to consumer products such as public IM (instant messaging) services and free VoIP (Voice over the Internet) services to fill the gap. These unsanctioned services introduce security and compliance concerns.
"For most organisations, the majority of employees work within corporate boundaries, however, the growing remote workforce and trends such as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) introduce something of a challenge. There is a need to find a way to offer employee-driven collaboration without compromising security, network capacity or performance. It seems that organisations are still confused about how to build and manage an infrastructure that combines Collaboration needs of both employees and the organisation."
"Get into the hosted arena as quickly as possible, win the customer and the relationship. The window is closing."
Martin Boiles, Sales Director, GCI

Simply unbelievable!
Don Anderson's first-hand account of the mayhem of Bolt's journey to the Opening Ceremony
All of us taking part in the athletes' parade did not get a chance to see the Opening Ceremony; but the Jamaican contingent got to see the Usain Bolt show on our way to the stadium.
Bolt was selected as the flag bearer. He readily agreed to do this, but as the time drew near (7:00 pm for a 9:00 pm departure from the village) we learnt that he was not keen to march again, as we had to walk the mile to the stadium and he was concerned, as we all were, that he would be harassed.
Eventually, he agreed to go ahead and what happened next is just simply unbelievable.
I have never seen anyone cheered and shouted after as Bolt was for the mile journey. Schoolchildren and adults lined the route in thousands and we heard cheers of "Usain Bolt, Usain Bolt" the whole way. I mean the noise was deafening and the cheers went on nonstop.
Autograph hunters, people who just wanted to touch his hands, people who just wanted to see him, thronged the place. He obliged and worked the show. He ran along the barrier, touching hands, playing with his supporters and taking photos with them. He danced his way down the road, ran up to something that looked like a ref's chair at a tennis match and sat; and of course, he did his famous pose.
Athletes from other countries walking the route left their delegations and found their way amongst us just wanting a photo op with him and he obliged, especially with the pretty girls, and there were plenty.
I have never seen anything like this, nor certainly have I been involved with anything like this. But you know how we were able to get through? The six biggest guys in our team, the shot putter, the discus thrower, all six-foot-three and more had to form a human barricade around him and ward off athletes from other countries, security persons whose job it was to maintain order in the lines and volunteer staff guiding the parade, from getting too close to him.
It was a crazy scene. When we got inside to the centre of the field, they came from near and far. I don't think anyone heard what was being said in the stadium, everyone was just coming to get a photo of Bolt, people standing on chairs, cameras held aloft. When he got tired and sat down, surrounded by his 'bodyguards' people got chairs and still found ways to try to get a shot at him.
It was just incredible. And throughout it all, he loved it. He has a personality second to none.

By STEPHANIE BEECKEN6 News Reporter
MARYVILLE (WATE) - Officers found a wanted woman Friday in Maryville. However, before they could take her into custody, firefighters had to decontaminate her due to her exposure to meth.
The potentially dangerous events unfolded in a parking lot for a Food City and several other businesses. The woman's name and the details of her charges have not been released.
Tammy Smith often comes to the shopping center. She says after Friday morning's events, she'll pay closer attention in the parking lot.
"I feel sorry for all of us. It's not safe, and you never know what you're going to come across," Smith said.
According to Blount County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Marian O'Briant, the woman was attempting to buy ingredients to make meth. She tried to run from a car when officers approached.
Three men who were with the woman drove away and left her.
"She had indicated that she had been around a meth cook earlier so she had to be decontaminated at the scene before being transported to Blount Memorial to get checked out," O'Briant explained.
Firefighters spent time decontaminating the woman. Officials say it has to be done to protect the public.
"The precursors that are used to make meth, when combined, are very dangerous. So if you have any of those ingredients on you, on your hands or whatever, it could be potentially hazardous to other people," O'Briant said.
She says officers found the vehicle in Alcoa, but all signs of meth had been removed.
Due to the potential for meth labs to explode, residents worry about it being cooked in cars.
A meth cooking style called the one-pot method allows cooks to make it in a sealed container. They often flip the container upside-down to cause the reaction that makes meth.
"Something could explode and take out not only their lives, but everyone around them if you happen to park by them. It's a whole new twist on the issue," said Blount County resident Jeannie Royer.
"It makes me feel scared because if there's one person out here doing that, how many others are out here doing that?" Smith said.
One pot meth containers are sometimes thrown out the windows of cars. The remnants of the chemicals in the container are generally muddy brown in color. If you come across a discarded container, do not touch it. Call authorities.

No agency filings affecting this section since 2003
Requirement to offer inflation protection.
(1) No insurer may offer a long-term care insurance contract unless, in addition to any other inflation protection option, the insurer offers to the policyholder the option to purchase a contract that provides for benefit levels to increase with benefit maximums or reasonable durations which are meaningful to account for reasonably anticipated increases in the costs of long-term care services covered by the contract. Insurers must offer to each applicant, at the time of purchase, the option to purchase a contract with an inflation protection feature no less favorable than one of the following:
(a) Increases benefit levels annually in a manner so that the increases are compounded annually at a rate not less than five percent;
(b) Guarantees the insured individual the right to periodically increase benefit levels without providing evidence of insurability or health status so long as the option for the previous period has not been declined. The amount of the additional benefit shall be no less than the difference between the existing policy benefit and that benefit compounded annually at a rate of at least five percent for the period beginning with the purchase of the existing benefit and extending until the year in which the offer is made; or
(c) Covers a specified percentage of actual or reasonable charges and does not include a maximum specified indemnity amount or limit.
(2) Where the contract is issued to a group, the required offer in subsection (1) of this section shall be made to the group policyholder; except, if the policy is issued to an association group (defined in RCW
) other than to a continuing care retirement community, the offering shall be made to each proposed certificate holder.
(3) The offer in subsection (1) of this section shall not be required of life insurance policies or riders containing accelerated long-term care benefits.
(4)(a) Insurers shall include the following information in or with the disclosure form:
(i) A graphic comparison of the benefit levels of a contract that increases benefits over the contract period with a contract that does not increase benefits. The graphic comparison shall show benefit levels over at least a twenty-year period.
(ii) Any expected premium increases or additional premiums to pay for automatic or optional benefit increases.
(b) An insurer may use a reasonable hypothetical, or a graphic demonstration, for the purposes of this disclosure.
(c) It is intended that meaningful inflation protection be provided. Meaningful benefit minimums or durations may, for example, include providing increases to attained age, or for a period such as at least twenty years, or for some multiple of the policy's maximum benefit, or throughout the period of coverage.
(5) Inflation protection benefit increases under a contract which contains such benefits shall continue without regard to an insured's age, claim status or claim history, or the length of time the person has been insured under the contract.
(6) An offer of inflation protection which provides for automatic benefit increases shall include an offer of a premium which the insurer expects to remain constant. Such offer shall disclose in a conspicuous manner that the premium may change in the future unless the premium is guaranteed to remain constant.
(7)(a) Inflation protection as provided in subsection (1)(a) of this section shall be included in a long-term care insurance contract unless an insurer obtains a written rejection of inflation protection signed by the applicant.
(b) The rejection shall be considered a part of the application and shall state:
"I have reviewed the outline of coverage and the graphs that compare the benefits and premiums of this contract with and without inflation protection. Specifically, I have reviewed Plans . . . . . . , and I reject inflation protection."

Nick Hodge from Adobe's Pacific division wrote Moonshine script to use the PDF rendering engine of Photoshop to generate JPEGs for web-site publication and client review. Rather than re-generate smaller PDFs, the original Moonshine asked Photoshop to open the PDFs, and render a JPEG from the first page. Moonshine2 updates this to work with Photoshop CS's JavaScript engine.
Mac OS X comes with an excellent PDF viewer built in. The Preview application is a fast, simple viewer. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of even Adobe Reader, but it uses a lot less overhead. Best of all, it's fast. PDFforLawyers.com's Ernest Svenson explains.
If you are going to provide something to your clients (or prospective clients) via the Net, please, please, please don't make it a Windows executable file. "But why?" I hear you cry. Never fear, PDFforLawyers.com's Dave Fishel explains in this piece on the relative merits of PDF and Windows executables.
About 10 years ago, the industry practice was to scan paper documents to TIFF images, run an OCR process to create a searchable text record, and then add the relevant metadata to a bibliographic database. Managing three layers of data for every document was time-consuming and inefficient. Surely there had to be an easier way! PDFforLawyers.com's Dave Fishel explains.
When Leonard Rosenthol co-founded PDF Sages, he was already one of the most well known and respected software developers for the Apple Macintosh, with a strong pedigree in PDF after noteworthy stints at Adobe and Appligent.

Chris Dahl is the Chief Technology Officer of ARTS PDF Global Services (APGS), a leading global provider of PDF professional services, and can boast a CV that firmly places him in an exclusive group of CTOs leading the largest and most innovative PDF projects in the world. Planet PDF recently spoke to him about Acrobat 7.0 and its impact on developers and forms workflows. Dan Shea reports.
Lawyers are publishers. They research, write, edit, and publish (under deadlines), just like journalists, authors, academics, etc. The good news is that, because of PDF's roots in the publishing industry, there is a huge body of knowledge about workflow, automation, and customization of PDFs in that business. Legal folks would do well to learn from existing workflows and tools.
One of the pioneers introducing PDF to the enterprise, Duff Johnson founded Document Solutions, Inc. in 1996 to leverage the power of the then-emerging PDF format in publishing and business communications. In an interview with Planet PDF, the PDF and accessibility guru shares his thoughts about Acrobat 7.0 and what it means for the PDF industry. Dan Shea reports.
There are many excellent reasons to get good at using PDF in legal practice. One compelling motivation is that it is the standard for electronic filing in the Federal Courts. The rollout of the eFiling/case management program from the Administrative Office for the US Courts is well underway.
If you are used to searching long PDF documents and folders full of PDFs, then you will probably have spent a lot of time waiting. This tip from Cari Jansen explains how to dramatically improve the efficiency of your Acrobat searches.

Government Law
White House Counsel Hires 10 Attorneys
Posted Jun 8, 2007 11:35 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Ongoing investigations of the Bush administration by the Democrat-controlled Congress are good news for attorneys seeking work in the White House.
White House Counsel Fred Fielding announced today that his office has hired nine lawyers, five of them for newly created positions, reports the Washington Post. A source says a tenth attorney, Stephen D. Potts, who formerly headed the U.S. Office of Government Ethics for a decade, will be the office's ethics counsel, the newspaper writes.
Other hires include J. Michael Farren, formerly Xerox Corp.'s general counsel, as Fielding's deputy, and three attorneys from Fielding's former firm, Wiley Rein & Fielding. Ivy League and West Point degrees are prominent on the resumes of these and other new attorneys in the counsel's office, the Post reports. The office will now have a total of 22 lawyers on staff -- less than the total number working there during the Clinton administration.
Farren replaces William K. Kelley, who is returning to Notre Dame University to teach after having been caught up in the controversy over the alleged dismissal of at least nine U.S. attorneys for political reasons. Kelley reportedly was involved in some discussions about whether these prosecutors should be dismissed.

There is a quite a bit of chatter about how companies should engage with online consumers within the social media space – including suggested service etiquette, rules of engagement, and how to simply listen effectively.
Social media has enabled a new channel for customer feedback. It's more than just a one-way feedback opportunity, but rather the start of a two-way dialogue where the change process can be witnessed and the outcome quickly implemented. As a customer, how do we maximize this channel and these new dialogues to foster a valuable outcome?
Well, we could moan and vent about our frustrations via Twitter, Facebook or even Yelp, but does that offer workable substance. How is that productive? I mentioned in an old post that just because you have the means to tweet or voice your opinion online (and have a potential product/service grievance), doesn't mean you should do so carelessly or without some thought to your desired resolution.
Samantha Ogborn wrote a great post, Social Media Karma: Why Your Voice Reigns that offers insight into how you (as a consumer) can effectively leverage and increase the value of your social media voice.


text: I just wanted to know why nobody is considering John Chavez for the job.I think he is just as qualified as most of the possible choices. I mean, when you think about it, these past few seasons, what's been the best thing about the team? The DEFENSE!!!! So, I think he at least should be mentioned. I don't know if he would be the best choice or not. However, he is worth looking at.

Since there is not really much to talk about right now when it comes to the Wolves, with free agency and the draft still a month away, I feel like we could use a little bit of debate to liven up the Hoopussphere©. So I want to find out, if you could put 12 Wolves from any era to make a team, who would you pick? This is not simply naming the 12 best Wolves of all time, it is about finding the 12 Wolves players that would be the best on the court together. Think of it as a Timberwolves version of Bill Simmons "The Wine Cellar" chapter in The Book of Basketball (i.e. The chapter where he picks a team of players that would have the best shot at beating random Aliens in a game). My picks are below the jump. I included additional categories as well for your enjoyment.

Letter : Month Two
Happy 2 month birthday "baby boy." I can think of a dozen names I call you in row at any given time during the day…"hello mama's little stinker butt" or "what's up stinker butt". I apologize for all the stinky butt references, you really aren't a stinky child, it's just the little ridiculous phrases that come to mind when I chat with you during the day. There's also "little guy," "babies," and even "Pupp-uzz"…yes, somehow the dog's nickname was bestowed upon you as well by your Mama & Daddy. We apologize in advance if you have issues with this later in life.
You are getting bigger each and every day. When we first brought you home, your Daddy asked me if I realized how amazing it was that I alone was keeping you alive each and every day. I didn't realize the enormity of it at the time, but now, every time I cuddle and hold you close at each feeding, I am truly amazed.
You are such a good baby. Everyone seems to comment on that fact. You hardly fuss (unless it's time to eat and you want it NOW or your houdini arms have come out of your swaddle when it's nap time) and just generally go with the flow. We'd like to think we are just these rockstar parents and our parenting skills are just out of this world to produce such a good tempered baby, and all of our book reading, rule following and my internet research has paid off. But, everyone just tells us it's pure luck. How about we agree to a 50/50 split on that one so Daddy can get off my case about my research on what the other Mom's on the message board are doing? ;)
We have caught a few smiles from you lately, or what Daddy and I *think* are smiles. We try really hard to get them out of you on demand, but right now, you seem content just staring away at us and the world. Which is pretty great in itself. I put a Baby Einstein DVD on the TV for you the other day, just to see if it would catch your interest. You pretty much ignored it, so I stood in front of the TV to see if you would then be interested in the colors behind me. Nope. You only cared about one thing: your Mama. I moved to the side, and your gaze would follow me. I moved to the other side of the room, and you turned your head to follow me. I think I'll file away this memory and pull out in a few months or years because I know there will be a day when whatever is on the TV will be whole lot more interesting then me. In the mean time, I feel like #1 Mom.
The past couple of weeks you have been making all sorts of funny noises and expressions. We think you have a lot to say once you get going! :) You really enjoy your ocean themed tummy and playtime mat. You flap your arms and kick your legs ('starting your Harley Davidson' as Daddy calls it) while you chat with the hanging toys or stare at yourself in the mirror.
I go back to work next week and I really haven't given much thought to the reality of it. I've been getting used to our daily routine, and it's going to be tough being away from you for so long, and then cramming all the love and cuddle time into a few precious hours before bed. The last couple of weeks I've been very focused (i.e. a hardass) on getting us toward a decent eat/play/sleep schedule and following Baby Wise book guidelines. We even put you in your crib for just about every nap and bedtime, but as a result of this, both Daddy and I miss snuggling up for a nap with you on the couch that we did the first couple weeks after we brought you home. So this afternoon, while we waited for Daddy to come home from a business trip, you snuggled up on my chest for a good long nap. And it was the best feeling ever. A good reminder that there needs to be a little give and take in this whole parenting journey.
You bring us such joy everyday. Love, Love, Love YOU!
He is such a doll. Loved the sweet pictures. You're capturing amazing moments…
Yippee! He's getting a rounder face and growing so much! Cute! Cute! Cute! Thomas has Robeez with Whales on them like Colin's Dinosaurs. So cute! Auntie Lauren sends tons of kisses his way.
Hi Amber!
Your baby is adorable! Congratulations! I hope you still remember me..Anyways,, I just want to say Hello and wishing you and your beautiful family many more blessings.
Look at all that HAIR! What a cutie!!! :)
Your letters to Colin always make me tear up. That picture of you and him head-to-head is precious! And I can't believe his little feet are already hanging off the edge of his bouncy seat. You and your husband seem like such great parents & Colin seems like an angel.
Oh Amber! He is just adorable! I hope I get to visit you before he starts walking!
Beautiful letter to you little man. :)
I LOOVE LOVE LOOOOVE the black and white photo of you and Colin. So sweet and such a precious moment.
Isn't it amazing two months have already passed by? He is just getting sweeter by the day. :)
And regarding your post, I would love to do a book swap! How fun. I will have to look for "Under the Banner of Heaven" (which I did read and liked!) and we'll swap info. It might take me a small bit of time because all my books are still in boxes.
Beautiful boy, beautiful pictures. He's looking so big, happy and healthy. And there's nothing cuter than Daddy and baby sleeping pictures. I love those!!
Awww! What a sweet boy and such a sweet story :)
It sounds like our Colin's have a lot in common! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, and I'll be back to yours! :)

Strait of Dover Goes Wire-To-Wire In $1 Million Queen's Plate
Canyon Farms� homebred Strait of Dover, ridden confidently by Justin Stein, made every pole a winning one while taking the $1 million Queen�s Plate, Canada�s most famous horse race, in record time Sunday at Woodbine Racetrack.
At the finish of the mile and one-quarter classic for Canadian-bred three-year-olds, Strait of Dover held a one and one-quarter length margin over filly Irish Mission, winner of the recent Woodbine Oaks, with Dixie Strike, the only other filly in the race, a further three and three-quarter lengths back in third. Colleen�s Sailor, trying to give his trainer Roger Attfield a record ninth Plate win, was fourth after dogging the leader for most of the trip.
The final time was 2:01.99, eclipsing the former Polytrack mark of 2:02.18, set by Pachattack two years ago. The Plate record of 2:01 4/5 seconds is held by 1990 winner Izvestia, when timing was calculated in fifths instead of 10ths.
�I loved this horse all along,� said an elated Stein. �He�s shown me and I have said it time and time again that he is a racehorse. He wants to get out here and he wants to win. He calmed right down as soon as he saw that we were going into the gate and he just stood there and waited for his turn to be loaded. That�s what he wants to do.
�I didn�t have to be on the lead with him today but no one else wanted to go and we were going pretty easy so I just let him roll on up there. I have faith in this horse and he just galloped around there like a champ.�
Trained by Dan Vella, Strait of Dover, winner of the Marine Stakes on May 12, had been forced to miss the June 3 Plate Trial because of sickness. But on Sunday he didn�t miss a beat, as he won his fourth race in a row at Woodbine to remain undefeated on Polytrack. (fifth unofficially, after being disqualified in his Woodbine debut last November).
The son of English Channel-Bahrain Star is a British-Columbia bred, as is the 32-year-old Stein, who was born in New Westminster. It was the first Plate win for Stein, whose best previous finish was fourth with Ascot Bill in 2006. It was also the first Plate win for owner-breeder Canyon Farms (Wally and Terry Leong), who had one previous Plate starter, Illusive Force in 2003, who finished last of 12 behind eventual Triple Crown winner Wando.
But it was the second Plate triumph for Vella, who conditioned 1994 winner Basqueian for Stronach Stables.
�Good horses do good things,� said Vella. �We all like to take a little credit but truthfully he�s a great horse and that�s what it�s really about, the people that bred such a great horse and just being associated and being able to train these types of horses. It�s what us guys in this industry, that�s what we want to do.
�Well, we talked about it with Justin and we analyzed the race and we thought it was a possibility we would end up on the front end. We really didn�t want that. You�re doing the work for everyone else, but if you�re there, you�re there.�
Strait of Dover, send postward a close 7-2 second choice to Plate Trial winner River Rush, who finished a non-threatening sixth, went immediately to the front and never looked back, taking the field of 14 through splits of :23.85, :47.74, 1:12.31 and 1:37.07.
The last horse to win the Plate wire-to-wire was Big Red Mike in 2010, and before him, Wando in 2003.
As the field turned for home, the pacesetter had opened two and one-half lengths on his rivals but Irish Mission, with Alex Solis, was a determined pursuer, as she tried to run down the leader and become the seventh filly to win the Plate since 1956. Meanwhile, Dixie Strike, who was last early, made a late run for third.
Strait of Dover picked up $600,000 for the win, his fourth in only seven outings after beginning his career with two starts last August and September at Hastings Park in Vancouver.
Hastings Park, of course, laid claim to part of I�ll Have Another�s bid for a U.S. Triple Crown this year, courtesy of its leading jockey Mario Gutierrez, who rode the Paul Reddam-owned, Doug O�Neill-trained colt to victories in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, before being injured and scratched the day before the Belmont Stakes in early June.
Strait of Dover returned $9.60, $5.80 and $4.30, combining with Irish Mission ($8.40, $6.20) for a $108.40 (4-14) exactor. A 4-14-10 (Dixie Strike, $5.50) triactor was worth $551.50, while a $1 superfecta [4-14-10-9 (Colleen�s Sailor)] came back $4,271.35.
His connections will now have to decide whether to enter Strait of Dover in the $500,000 Prince of Wales Stakes, July 15 at Fort Erie, on the dirt over one and three-sixteenth miles, the second leg in Canada�s Triple Crown. The third and final leg is the $500,000 Breeders Stakes, August 5 at Woodbine, at one and one-half miles on the lawn.
There have been seven Triple Crown winners since the concept was inaugurated in 1959, the last being Wando in 2003.

Bill Simmons owns up about Ricky Rubio
Just as someone said he should earlier following his recent comments about the Wolves. "I don't know what happened in Europe, just what I see now … and what I see is someone who's a step ahead of everyone else, makes passes that nobody else makes, loves playing basketball to the point that it's actually contagious, aces the "Would You Like Playing With Him?" Test to the point that we should just change it to the Rubio Test, rises to the occasion when it matters (most recently with a game-tying 3 against the Clips with 20 seconds left in the game), beats anyone he wants off the dribble, plays with a Maravichian flair and, for lack of a better phrase, lights up the room. Only in this case, it's usually a room with 16,000 people in it. If you were having a "Which Two Teammates Would You Want to Build Around for the Next 10 Years" argument, LeBron and Wade would be first, then Durant and Westbrook, then Paul and Griffin … and Rubio and Love would be fourth." Cool.

I recently bought a nokia e71 and generally I like to have phones that I can develop for. I came from blackberry and I was debating between this and an android phone, but I decided the e71 was right for me.
Ever since I got the phone (3 days ago), I have been failling trying to set up a working environment to develop for it. Maybe my frustration comes from having developed for blackberry and android in the past, as they have a single packaged download that allows you to get up and running within minutes.
Here is what I've tried so far:
-Qt creator: aparently my phone is S60 3rd Edition, fp1 so I can't use it. (BTW that was not clear in any way)
-Carbide c++: There is next to no documentation to help beginners with and a lot of the "official" documentation is dated.
-Java ME: most promising, as I am the most familiar with Java, but the emulator won't work due to a "ZipException"
Between trying to find the right SDK, the right IDE and actually writing the app, it feels like Nokia has done very little to make it easy on new developers. Again, their competition allows developers to setup a working environment within MINUTES with a single download..it even comes pre configured.
Why has this process been so impossible? All I want to do is make a Java app for a phone, it should not be this hard.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - SeaWorld's sea lion rescue team says they're seeing record numbers this year. They've already taken in well over 100 of the ocean mammals, a dozen just within the past few days.
"So far it's only the middle of March, and we have rescued 122 marine mammals. Whereas last year for the entire year of 2012, we only rescued 131," SeaWorld Rescue Specialist Heather Ruce said.
Scientists don't know for sure what's causing the record numbers, but they do offer one theory
"Perhaps, there isn't enough fish out in the ocean and they're having problems finding enough fish," Ruce said.
Sea lions have been rescued from all over the county including one that was spotted Saturday on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach. Many of them come in starved, or with visible injuries, sometimes caused by humans after getting tangled in fishing wire.
"This is sort of like walking into an emergency vet clinic," Ruce said.
The rescued sea lions are weighed, tagged, and given medication, as well as special nutrients.
"It is a lot of work, and this year with the amount of animals that we've had, we've had to increase our staff to cover all the needs of these animals," Ruce said.
A typical stay can last anywhere between one and two months, at which point most of them are returned back to the wild.
"Our ultimate goal in every case is to rehabilitate and return these animals to the ocean for a second chance at life," Ruce said.
Just because you see a sea lion washed up onshore doesn't mean it's in trouble. Experts say if you notice a sea lion has visible injuries, or looks like it's starved, contact a lifeguard. They will in turn call Sea World.
You can also contact the sea lion rescue team directly at 1-800-541-SEAL.

Golden color, perils racing up to make a small white head, head fades fast with no lace. Aroma is a bit grain-ish, mild grass and a light hint of malt. Taste is watery up from then a bitter stint, and a sweet middle and an ever so light bitter finish. Better than most (all) macros.

A good, clean tasting American style light lager - exceptional in that there are very few if any off flavors. Knocks Bud, et al on their collective backsides. Very drinkable, becoming dangerously so if it's over 80 outside and the beer's below 40. Not a fan of clear bottles, but haven't pulled a skunk, etc. yet in seven or eight six packs so...
I hope to find out exactly WHAT the difference is between this brew and Matt's Premium Lager (one of the favored brews of my youth that I haven't seen around in a while) when I hit the brewery next month.

Pours a clear light golden color with minimal, airy head that dissipates very quickly. No lacing on the glass. Smell is of light graininess maybe some hop spiciness but not much else. Flavor is typical of the style. Some light malty graininess, a touch of sweetness, a tad bready, and a touch of hop bitterness in the finish. Very crisp, well carbonated beer that is definitely refreshing and goes down the hatchet with ease. A good after work beer or hot summer day-mowing the lawn type of beer.

Presentation: 12 oz. twist with no freshness date to be found.
Appearance: Light amber in colour with a bubbly carbonation that forms and retains a thin off white lace.
Smell: Faint aromas of sweet malt and light grain mingle with a mellow hop.
Taste: Crisp, clean and very smooth. A light maltiness shows some sweetness and grain. A subdued hop twang helps to balance this lager out perfectly. Almost no after taste, leaving the mouth wanting more.
Notes: Very refreshing, does well to clean the palate ... no surprises here.

From the 12 bottle holiday sampler box. How many times have I said that? Must be near a dozen. This one pours a clear golden amber, with minimal head. I thought I had opened a Harpoon Ale, in the dim light, but could tell from the subdued nose that this was my Saranac Lager. Mostly a mild citrus hop nose, not bad, just lacking character. Mouthfeel is average for the style. Taste is above average for a regional lager, very well balanced. Has a clean finish. This one gets decent marks from me. For some reason, I just like its balance and drinkability. My compliments to Matt Brewing for making the effort of putting 12 different styles in their sampler box. They've shown some potential to make some excellent smaller batches when they choose to concentrate on just a few styles.

This was from a sampler case.
Pours a beautiful clear gold, with a one finger white head which quickly drops to islands and a ring. No lacing observed. Medium carbonation evident.
Aroma at first is slight, sweet DMS, faint pilsener malt, and faint herbal/spicy hops. Not much there, but what is there is pleasant.
The first flavor is sweet malts, followed by a balancing hop bitterness and then herbal/spicy hop flavor. Noticeable cooked veggie flavor, not unpleasant, however. A little thin, but not too bad.
Mouthfeel is crisp and clean, tingly from the carbonation. Fairly sharp. Finishes a little thin.
This style is really not my cup of tea. There's just not alot here, but as an alternative to an even thinner macro, I'd take this.

I thought clear bottle, strike one - but that was the only thing I found wrong here. Clean, clear, crisp, refreshing (don't I sound like a Bud/Miller/Coors ad?) and without the chemical tastes of macros or cheapies (ah, therein lies the rub). What a mass-produced American lager should be. Some mellow malts lending it a nice British character, and grassy hops to dry and spice up the finish. Even better as it warmed out of the fridge - although it shouldn't be too warm.

Part of a 6 beer Saranac "Trail Mix" sampler. Other reviews to follow.
Sub amber color intrigued me. Heavier mouthfeel than the macros. Cloying and annoying watery "flavorlessness", little to no aroma. No skunkiness but little to invite one to finish it.

Appearance: Pours a caramel copper amber with a nice sized well-formed cream-colored head sitting on top, nice rings of lace appear bi-siply. Aroma: Buttery malt sweetness mixed with toasted almond arises from my mug, along with a grainy husk tone and an underlying note of fruit and the hops just blend right in here. Taste: Flavor ties it together rather decently with the mild toasted malts giving of nut, caramel, and fruit tones very mild but blend well together and as far as hops they are detectable and present only to balance the sweet malt nice. Not as much of a knockoff of Yuengling Traditional Lager as Loyalhanna Lager from Rolling Rock tries to be. Mouthfeel: Is rather thin not a lot of body here, just nice even carbonation not too sharp perfect for the style, overall not bad. Drinkability: I could definitely picture myself getting in the mood to drink a few of these, although there are many better lagers out there this does a decent job of being refreshing and thirst quenching and having flavor at the same time, gains my respect as a decent brew.

The color is a light golden amber. This is my first pale lager, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but the look is respectable and not as pale as I had thought it might be. Head retention is pretty good and there's some fairly even lacing.
The nose is simple and somewhat subdued. A mix of malt and hops with a grains backbone. A little like a light, but a little stronger. It's respectable.
Hops and malt are both evident, and the absence of adjuncts puts this a step above most macros despite the aroma and palate not being very strong. Grains are present and there's an underlying sweetness. As expected, the finish doesn't linger very long.
The mouthfeel is good. It's a little thin, though not too much. A light body and gentle carbonation make for a clean mouthfeel that's pretty smooth and very crisp.
Nothing out of the ordinary or especially complex, but I'd call this one pretty good and easily sessionable at such a low ABV.

Hot June evening--must be a lager night! Pours a Miller-Lite color in a pilsner glass...vanishing head and faint malt notes in aroma...back punch of sour malt in mouthfeel, a nasal presence in aftertaste....nondescript taste, no insult meant...refreshingly three parts removed from H2O...

Saranac Lager is the 1st of 12 Saranac's I'll be reviewing over the next week. Just purchased a 12 pack of 12 mixed Saranac brews. $10 not bad I think!?! Actually I recall, faintly, drinking Saranac in college but don't recall the taste hell- I don't recall much from college.
Saranac Lager pours a nice light brown with a decent white head.
The smell is malty.
The taste was really good. A nice smooth malty beer. This is a beer you drink sitting at the bar eating a bar pie or hamburger!
Saranac Lager is a nice session beer that you can't go wrong with.

This pours a clear golden color with a two finger head.The head disapears a little too quickly,but there is some nice lacing.The smell is weak.I'm trying not to kill this beer,but it smells like wet newspaper.The taste is weak and watery,macro lagers are better tasting than this.The mouthfeel is light,weak,and watery.
All in all,I would avoid this beer.I'm going to pour the rest down the drain.
Sorry Saranac,but you have got to get your act together.

Middle of the road craft lager, better than average mainstream beer. Smooth and satisfying with food. I agree that this is more of a session beer than a treat for the tastebuds.

From the 12 Beers of Winter, which I imagine many folks are reviewing. This is the first brew out of the pack, and I hope it's the worst, because this isn't that good.
Appearance: A sickly pale yellow, not much of a head, and lacing that's pretty much non-existent.
Smell: Lots of metal in the nose. Is this from the cap? Like if you chew on foil, I think? Some malt I guess since that makes sense. It smells like beer, but man, this is pretty bad for the aroma.
Taste: Some sweetness, some metal, finishes slightly sweet with some malt on the tongue. Very average, or actually a bit worse.
Mouthfeel: Very very slick and watery, with little carbonation.
Drinkability: I guess it's nice when you have a beer in a sampler pack and you like it and want to try it again. This time, however, with only one beer in the sampler pack, that makes me happy. I'm hoping to be impressed with at least a few of these as I make my way through the sampler, so we'll see.

Served fresh bottle at a beerfest, and so fresh aroma. Yellow with dots of lace. Light mouthfeel, with somewwat apple juice taste around the malty backbone. That's into astringency territory and requires some chicken or the like. OK for a lager. Even a bit of hops and for a cheap beer that transitions, it's fine.

F.X. Matt's Saranac line consistenly delivers solid, drinkable beers; and this one is no exception. It seems as if it might be brewed to compete with Yuengling Traditional Lager with a light amber color and overall sweet character. The head retention is fairly good, and although it drops shortly, it's effervescent carbonation helps it to maintain a razor thin surface covering and leave some nice splashes of craggy lace about the glass. The nose is sweetish and subtly fruity without a hint of hops; and it's light/medium bodied and smooth across the palate. There obviously some adjunct in use here as the flavor is sweet without being particularily malty, and it's definitely not grainy. Whether this is simply a "colored" beer through the use of a product similar to "porterine" or not, I can't tell, but no caramel flavors stand out. There is a very mild hop note in the finish, but very little bitterness, and it fades cleanly away. For what it's seemingly intended to be it's very well-balanced; although most serious beer drinkers will probably find it a bit sweet. Still, it's well-made and makes a great party beer for times when mainstream beer drinkers are present.

Had this a few times and have been meanin to review it.
Poured a straw gold with a little head that lasts a minute or too. Basically just a little darker than your average lager. Smells of sweet malts. Taste good to me. A decent malt profile for such a light colored beer. A little sweet, not much of an aftertaste.
Easy to drink and tasty. I've easily gone through a 6-pack of this when the budget is right and I'd do it again. Give this to a PBR or Miller fan that wanted to take a step in the right direction.

Poured bronze with a 1" white head. Good lacing & average head retention
S: A little malt & peppery hops
T: Grainy with slight sweetness & fruittyness up front. Finishes grainy & sweet
MF: Light medium bodied with good carbonation & slightly out of balance (too grainy)
Drinks easy until the grainyness gets ya. I could drink 2 at the most, just run of the mill

Clear, hay-gold in hue with a slight amber highlight; I am happy the liquid is not sickly in appearance. The head wasnt very impressive; at the apex the foam was barely able to cover the beer. The minimal amount of bubbles quickly faded to a thin collar, naked in the middle. The subsequent lacing was just some random spots of foam residue. Overall, the appearance is far from noteworthy nothing about it is above typical.
The nose is clean. Only hints of grainy, toasty, bready malts eek through. Well, there is also a tickle of earth and lemon zest. Low potency; this is not a talkative beer. What I smell is nice; it offers the typical aromas for Lager of this sort.
Clean. Crisp. Uneventful but this beer is tasty enough (for the style). Upfront is a delicate lemon zest vibe, followed by some toasted bread, grains, and hay. Before the finish some very light fruitiness develops and quickly fades, earthiness is found at the finish. No doubt, this is a tasty and likeable Lager. There is nothing at all bold in the flavor department but that is what this beer is supposed to taste like. This beer would work well at a BBQ; it is clearly better then BMC and a good crossover beer (if baby steps are needed).
Medium in body, I am impressed that the body is not thin or watery. My no means is the mouthfeel impressive but it is ideal for the flavor profile. Moderately high carbonation, every sip scrubs the tongue it is refreshing. This is yet another reason why this beer would work at a BBQ or with grilled burgers (and lots of cheese/condiments). Hell, this beer would work well with baked fish. Im sold!
Yes, this beer is drinkable. I like it. Honestly, beers of this sort just dont get consumed a lot by me. If I want a lager I usually go for a Pils or a Hells or an O-fest. The All-Malt Lager gets lost in the shuffle. Saranac is not available locally (okay, I can get some of these beers in Iowa) but Ive been happy with every offering I have had and I wish I could drink more. This beer was part of a 12-beer sampler that I purchased in Lawrence, KS. Good stuff.

My first though when offered Saranac's traditional lager was that of all the Saranac styles I have tried, I have yet to try the original. Must sweeter than expected, with strong lemon and orange flavors, almost to the point of a Blue Moon Wheat with too much of an orange slice in it. Not bad though, it takes away any of the bitterness found in too many original lagers. Not my first saranac choice but I would accept the offer again.

Clear bottle, resembles the look of soda in a bottle. Light amber, thin head, decent retention. Has a clean, faint malt aroma. Thin, malty taste, light grain noted in the body. Very light bodied, a thin, seltzery finish, a bit watery. A good thirst quencher or weekend session beer.

It's an amber lager now as it seems to have gotten darker in the last year or so. It has full body, clean lager crisp taste with malt finish. Hops are low and beer is quite refreshing with or wothout food. Nice year round beer and quite drinkable. One of Saranac;s main products that is a good step towards more flavor than the macros.

Blrm C, Albuquerque Convention CenterPlant-animal mutualistic interactions have played a paramount role in the generation of biodiversity on Earth. Initial studies on coevolution focused on pairs of strongly interacting species, and emphasized specialization. In the last decades, a growing number of ecologists and evolutionary biologists advocated a community approach to mutualism, and found widespread examples of generalization. Currently, ecologists and evolutionary biologists have moved from the specialization vs. generalization debate to understanding how specialists and generalists interact forming complex networks of species interdependence. This has brought a full community-wide approach to mutualism, spurred by the recent existence of tools for representing and analyzing complex networks. The first stage of research in this field has been mainly devoted to describing the structure of these networks. Mutualistic networks have been found to be very heterogeneous (while the bulk of species have a few interactions, a few species are much more connected than expected by chance); nested (specialists interact with species that form well-defined subsets of the species generalists interact with); and build upon weak and asymmetric links among species. Thus, mutualisms are neither randomly organized, nor organized in compartments arising from tight, parallel specialization. Right now, ecologists and evolutionary biologists are moving beyond this descriptive first stage to start unraveling mechanisms and consequences of network structure. Specifically, the current most active areas of research explore: (1) similarities and differences across different interaction types (e.g., mutualism vs. antagonism); (2) the processes generating these network patterns; (3) their temporal dynamics; and (4) their consequences for conservation biology. These latter subjects are the topics we plan to review in this session, with the ultimate goal to increase information flow and to set up an agenda for the next few years. To this aim we have invited a sample of the most active researchers in this area representing seven different countries, different organism type (pollination, seed dispersal, antagonistic interactions), and approaches (structure, dynamics, and phylogenetic independent contrasts). After a brief overview, we will start by reviewing the architecture of these networks (talks by Olesen, and Lewinsohn), and the consequences of network structure for network functioning (talk by Fontaine). From here we will move to the evolutionary and ecological correlates of network structure (talks by Jordano and Rico-Gray), dynamics of networks (talk by Petanidou), and finally discuss why all this research is important for restoration, ecosystem services, and biological invasions (talk by Memmott).
