Well here it is, preseason games 3, the dress rehearsal for the regular season against our old preseason enemy the Bucs. We play them every year now, and this year it's the big preseason game, so I decided to go a step further and do a regular season game card.
The Buccaneers
On the offense they are trying to find out who is going to start at QB, Leftwich or the other McCown, Luke, evidently they don't think that Josh Freeman is ready yet.
The return of Ronnie's old college buddy, Cadillac Williams, he seems to be ahead of schedule and is looking very good, the Bucs will definitely be looking to run the ball with their uncertainty at QB and a healthy Cadillac will be very welcome indeed.
On the defensive side of the ball they have some players, some older but a lot of younger guys, the elder statesmen are Ronde Barber and Chris Hovan, the only two 10 year vets on the Bucs defense, and young guys like the stud ILB Barrett Ruud, they also have a Bo Ruud at LB, no relation I think, and a bunch of guys that like to fly around, another decent test for our Fins.
The Dolphins
Chad and Ronnie take center stage tonight, along with the O-line and WRs and every one else, but those two were easily our best players on offense last year and they will be relied upon heavily this year to take us where we want to go.
Of course they can't do their jobs if other people don't do their jobs, so what is it that we need done so that we can succeed on offense.
For Chad I think he will be looking at finding a go to receiver, some one he can rely on in a tight spot, last year it was Camarillo but he is not 100% yet, so who will it be, Bess is my guess, he just seems to get open, but Chad will be looking to start to spread the ball around and become a more versatile passing offense, we were efficient last year, we'll have to be better this year. That will also depend on the O-line, speaking of the O-line.
Ronnie is looking to have a big season, a year removed from the injury, in the best shape of his life, he wants to make his mark on the NFL. The O-line is really who takes the center stage in this, but that is always true, but the way to measure an O-line is by offensive production.
The Defense is not going up against a power house here and we should control the game on that side of the ball, enter Porter and Taylor, they should be able to disrupt the passing game here, with the less than stellar candidates they will see this week, and our secondary will remain somewhat untested, because they have yet to be tested.
Our front 7 has looked very good applying pressure and stopping the run, but pressure would be better for us right now with the young guys at CB, the more pressure we get the easier it will be for those guys, our secondary has not been tested so far and has not looked great, not horrible, but not great either so they need to put together a good game against a weak QB situation to dispel some of our fears.

Caleb Ackley and Ryan Murphy, both hired in 2007, were on duty in the prison unit where Castro was housed the night he hanged himself.
Castro, 52, was found hanged with a bedsheet September 3, coroner Dr. Jan Gorniak said. He was being held at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient. Prison medical staff tried to revive him.

DIY Beauty Marks-------
Chromatics, the quartet that will be opening for Pulp at Radio City tomorrow, played a not-so-secret show at Le Bain last night in front of a packed crowd that had the wherewithal to get into the private performance. The occasion offered the band an opportunity to debut its new album, Kill for Love—and some inventive eye makeup. Singer Ruth Radelet sported a precisely drawn cat-eye and three black polka dots, which dripped down her cheeks like perfectly symmetrical tears. Abstract face painting has always been the provenance of the indie rock set, but ever since Pat McGrath started pasting geometric materials onto models' lids and temples during the Spring 2012 shows, getting crafty with hand-drawn shapes has been taken up by the fashion establishment as well. Behold, Anna Selezneva's editorial in this month's Numéro, which features a similar design courtesy of makeup artist Miranda Joyce. Be on the lookout for more fun with eye and lip liners when Coachella gets under way this weekend.
Blending In To Stand Out At Burberry-------
"Christopher [Bailey] has a very clear idea of what he wants—he even chose the specific shade of silver for the actual runway," said makeup artist Wendy Rowe, putting the final touches on Lily Donaldson's face backstage at Burberry yesterday. With that kind of clear vision from the brand's creative director, Rowe's job was relatively easy. "We took colors from the trenches, like mustard and butterscotch, and just blended, blended, and blended," she explained of the fresh look she hoped to achieve from alternating strokes of an arsenal of makeup that included face-perfecting weapons from Shu Uemura, MAC, Dior, and YSL. "We didn't really want one thing to stand out," she continued, "so it feels light and natural." Added model-of-the-moment Anna Selezneva: "Normally I don't feel that comfortable leaving shows in full makeup because it's always a bit heavy, but this feels like what I would do on a normal day, almost like diet makeup!" The look's wearability factor certainly fell in line with the collective aesthetic of the show's very impressive front row. Gwyneth Paltrow, Liv Tyler, Freida Pinto, Victoria Beckham, Emma Watson, et al. seemed to abide by the same cosmetic credo: minimal, unobtrusive, and subtle (see this blog's Celebrity Looks post below for a further discussion on the matter). "He just knows what he wants, right down to the shade of lipstick," Rowe reiterated of Bailey. That meant matte, neutral pouts all around. Though Daisy Lowe and her bright red lips apparently didn't get the memo.

There are many here at GGN who believe it is time to move on from Mark Sanchez. It is not a position without merit in terms of his lack of substantial development and his current standing at the bottom of league QB ratings. I personally fall in the let's see how the rest of the year plays out, then evaluate whether a change is called for camp. I am skeptical he will show enough to merit continued support within the organization and the fanbase, but I am willing to continue a one year audition for him to prove his many doubters wrong. I suspect much of the team's staff is currently more or less sharing my view on this. The team continues to play him, so they have not yet given up on him, but they hardly seem enthusiastic about his level of play or prospects for the future. If that indeed is a fair characterization of the organization's collective stance on Sanchez, then the last 6 games of the schedule present an interesting dilemma for the organization.
Over the last 6 games we face the following opponents: NE, AZ, JAX, TN, SD and BUF. Of those games, only the NE game seems out of reach. More interestingly, those six teams collectively represent a horrible string of pass defenses. They are currently rated 31,29, 27, 22, 18 and 15 in opposing QB rating, and 30, 27, 25, 24, 21 and 20 in passing yards allowed per game. Given such a long string of passing defense ineptitude to close the season, it would not be at all surprising to see Mark Sanchez close the season on the best prolonged stretch of his career. I would expect one or more career games from Mark, and an overall look of good bordering on excellent QB play. I might also expect something like a 4-2 record over those games, and maybe one or two thrilling comeback wins to boot. If that were in fact to come to pass, then what?
A sober, analytical, devoid of emotion assessment might conclude that the season ending run was something of an illusion, and that Mark benefited immensely from an exceptionally weak end of season schedule. But there are two problems with this analysis. First, the Jets organization is composed of people, not computers, and like all people no analysis is ever completely rational and devoid of emotion. The Jets WANT Mark to succeed, maybe even desperately want him to. If he were to put together a season ending run like I hypothesize, there is little doubt that his supporters in the organization would point to that as convincing proof that Mark has turned the corner and is finally ascending to the status of above average QB. They would likely put aside the previous 3 1/2 years of general ineptitude and conclude Mark finally gets it; he passed his audition with flying colors, and now we're rolling with Mark for the foreseeable future. Given our salary cap woes, the Jets might even restructure and extend Mark so as to both tie him up as our anointed starting QB and also provide more room under the cap.
The second problem with the analysis is the simple fact that you can only play the opponents on your schedule. If Mark were to put together an impressive season ending run against less than fearful opponents, what do we make of it? You cannot penalize Mark for the poor quality of the opposition. If he succeeds, surely he deserves some credit. But if the rest of this season is truly an audition for the starting QB job going forward, how do we decide if he's passed the audition? Supporters would point to great play down the stretch and say if that doesn't qualify as passing the audition, then what would? Supporters would argue that if he doesn't get credit for his successes, then the entire process is rigged against Mark, and they would have a point. If great play, regardless of competition, does not win the day, then the only fair conclusion is that the audition was rigged and Mark was in a no win situation. On the other hand, detractors will argue that if 6 games against terrible competition overrules 3 1/2 years of mediocre to awful play, then the process was rigged IN FAVOR of Mark, and he was in a nearly no lose situation. Just perform well against some of the worst pass defenses in the NFL over a relatively short stretch and all will be forgiven. We love you Mark and we always knew you had it in you. This, too hardly seems a fair way of approaching the problem.
So, what are we left with? If Mark sucks over the last 6 games, or even if he is just mediocre, I think the picture becomes a whole lot clearer. 4 years in, no real breakthrough, mired at the back of the league's starting QBs, it would then be pretty clear, at least to me, it is time to search for Mark's successor. But if he really blossoms down the stretch, what then? The picture becomes very muddy indeed. Was it a mirage, fueled by bad defenses? Was it a portent of brighter days to come? Has Mark finally turned the corner, or will he fall right back down to earth when tougher competition emerges? Will he be seen as a mistake, or finally the true Jets QB of the future? I don't know if anyone at that point will be able to give really good answers, and I suspect we would then be headed for yet another year of Mark Sanchez auditions, and raging debates about whether he can ever become a good enough NFL QB.
The schedule down the stretch has the very real potential of completely muddying the waters with respect to the organization's Sanchez evaluations. I hope for all our sakes the organization can be clear eyed enough to sift through the mud and make the correct call on Mark, whatever that call may be. Our collective sanity as fans might well depend on it.

A man who admitting to robbing a series of drugstores in the Tucson area to get a prescription painkiller has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that 57-year-old Robert Federico Gutierrez had pleaded guilty to three armed robbery charges.
Gutierrez told a probation officer he became addicted to oxycodone after hurting his shoulder doing masonry work.
Authorities say Gutierrez handed notes to pharmacy employees demanding drugs and sometimes threatened them with a gun.

Sanchez said he's been more vocal with the receivers, telling them, "This is my huddle!"
Today's practice results don't count because Sanchez did well.
Weren't the Jets is shells and such today, I would think the thing about Tebow is that sacks would always be higher in practice because he can't really "break" a tackle in practice because he has the red jersey.
2-10 isn't good, though.
Rich Cimini @RichCimini
Jeff Demps' agent, Daniel Rose, tells me #Jets are "very interested." JD may visit/work out for couple of teams. No word yet on Jets visit.
So are the Bucs
Rich Cimini @RichCimini
Tebow says front office has asked him about Demps, former college teammate. Says he's planning to call JD "as a friend" to recruit.

Time flies. Hard to believe Camp Cortland is already over.
This sh!ts comical. Do you think Cam Newton, Andrew luck, Matt Ryan etc need to be telling the players that is their huddle? In their 4th year in the league.Sanchez said he's been more vocal with the receivers, telling them, "This is my huddle!"
Only the Jets.

Biggest concern for Rex coming out of camp: "We got to get guys healthy.... That's been frustrating"
Jenny Vrentas @JennyVrentas
Jordan White had knee swelling so he may not play against the Giants, Rex said. Another hit to WR corps. Yikes
Jets starters will play about a half vs the Giants. Some vets, like Brandon Moore, may just play a quarter, Rex said.
Where the heck are you getting this notion that Sanchez had performed poorly in camp?
Seriously. He probably had three or four bad practices, played well in the rest (11-11 and 7-7), but there's this idea that he played poorly. None of the camp reports by the beat reports support your take.

Now that I've teased you into this diary with buzzwords, let me tell what it's all about: The Oakland Coliseum.
Please, I know we've been through the objections and adulations on a couple of occasions. And, the Athletics ballclub has made no secret that they're "heading South" or, to anywhere away from here in Oakland, away from the edifice near the Coliseum BART station, near the airport, near 880 freeway.
A Nobel prize winning physics professor once remarked, "The way to get a good idea is to have a lot of ideas." Since we just had fan fest at the Coliseum (forget the sponsor, I've received no money) and the season is fast approaching, I'd like to hear some "wacky" ideas about improving the current ballpark. Not fantasy, but semi-realistic. I know the $$$ part really belongs to Alameda County, but...
Here's my "wad" to get the commentary going:
- Do the interior walkway areas have to look like a parking garage? Concrete on concrete, painted with a realistic "concrete" coating? How about surgical white? So's there's more light, more bright.
- Can't parking be cheaper than $11, $12, whatever it is? Sometimes I'd like to stop in, spontaneously, but, when you see a HUGE abundance of something (like hundreds of parking places, bare) it really bugs me to shell out good money. So, no stop. How about freeway onramps and offramps that lead directly out onto the freeway? (<< there's a good name for a music group, "The Offramps".) Going through a couple of traffic signals to enter and exit the parking area... why? Bridges and overpasses? Really really expensive, or???</li>
- They did Mount Davis. So what about giving the old "arc" of seating going from foul pole to home plate to foul pole, a clean wipe off with torches, wrecking balls, and bulldozers, and recasting the concrete with seats closer to the field and parallel to the rectangle formed by the third-base-left-field line, and the first-base-right-field line? Circular stadiums are "out".
- Instead of "pulling a tarp over the dead" area formerly known as the third deck, how about putting a gazillion potted oak trees up there? After all, this is "oak-land", not "tarp-land"!
- Ownership complains about football games ruining the field. What about moveable turf? Don't they have that in Phoenix, where they just played the Superbowl? Don't they have big trays of grass they roll-in, roll out?
- Not sure much about "South" of the stadium, but "North" and "East", it's so so ugly! Can't the city get smart and do some urban redevelopment in the blocks surrounding the complex? Heck, bulldoze all those eyesores, and plant even more oak trees!

Sabrina's Law Update – Good News!
July 30, 2014
Ottawa, July 24, 2014 – The Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (CSACI) would like to comment on the death of Mrs. Lucie Roussel, Mayor of La Prairie, on Sunday. As previously reported, Mrs. Roussel stepped on a wasp nest and was stung multiple times. Unfortunately, the autopsy report is not yet available. It is thought that Mrs. Roussel died from a toxic reaction to the stings which usually requires at least 50 stings, or anaphylaxis which can occur after one sting. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can cause hives over the body, shortness of breath, throat closing, vomiting and light headedness. Both types of reactions appear suddenly usually within 1 hour of the sting and require immediate and appropriate care. It is important that, regardless of the type of reaction, one be prepared and knows how to react in such situations.

Sorry to hear about the redundancies but good to see people deserting the absolutely awful BPP.
I studied one module of the GDL at their Manchester branch and I had so many problems with their admissions and finance people that I nearly gave up before even starting it. Far too expensive for a third rate service.

Frank Rich: John Birch 'Radical Right' Is Now the GOP Base
Liberal columnist Frank Rich claimed on Monday's Piers Morgan Tonight that the "radical right" which began during the Kennedy administration is now the base of the Republican Party. Both he and CNN's Piers Morgan also drew parallels between the environment which led to Kennedy's assassination and the politically-charged atmosphere now.
Rich's most recent column – which NewsBusters has dissected – asserts that the same "hate" which fueled the assassination of President Kennedy is now alive and well in the Obama era. [Video below the break. Click here for audio.]
Rich expounded on his article on Monday, claiming that the fringe John Birch Society – which was then denounced by conservative leader Bill Buckley – morphed into the movement to elect conservative Barry Goldwater in 1964, and that now the very base of the Republican Party accepts such "extreme right-wing views."
"In 1963, the year that Kennedy died, there was polling that showed 5 percent of Americans supported the extreme right-wing views of the John Birch society. Now we have a major political – major political party, the Republicans, where that's the base," Rich absurdly claimed.
Not to be outdone, Morgan excoriated the "intransigence" of the present-day political environment – a word he has used in the past to describe Tea Partiers and the Washington atmosphere to which the well-intentioned President Obama fell victim.
"But the level of intransigence in Washington right now seems so contrary to the national need in the sense that nothing seems to be getting done," Morgan lamented.
Towards the end, Morgan also complained that the liberal media's favorite Republican candidate, Jon Huntsman, is not gaining in the polls. Rich rightly observed that Huntsman's biggest constituency is within the media – which has repeatedly buttered him up to no avail.
"His main constituency is within the press," Rich responded, before tearing into Republicans once more. "[H]e's running as a man of sanity in a crazy situation with this perpetual sort of 'American Idol' version of American politics that is the Republican sweepstakes this year."
A transcript of the segment, which aired on November 28 at 9:16 p.m. EST, is as follows:
PIERS MORGAN: On the day Barack Obama took office, the comparisons to John F. Kennedy began immediately. Both young, both groundbreaking in their own ways, both with attractive families. There's something else, something surprising that the two leaders may have in common. And Frank Rich who compared their presidencies in an article in "New York Magazine" joins me to explain what it is.
Frank, a fascinating piece.
FRANK RICH, columnist, New York Magazine: Thank you.
MORGAN: And the parallels are pretty obvious. I mean 1963 seems a long way away, but actually in terms of racial tension, of economic inequality, a lot of parallels there.
RICH: There are a lot of parallels there. And also there – the early '60s during the Kennedy administration was really the birth of the radical right as we know it today. The John Birch society, what would become the Goldwater movement and, famously of course, Kennedy went to Dallas against the advice of people close to him right into that nutty atmosphere where people were accusing him of treason. Sort of like the birther craziness today that people thought he was an illegitimate president. A communist possibly. A – as a Roman Catholic, there was a lot of discrimination then in the United States. And so it was a sort of savage atmosphere that Obama has inherited today.
MORGAN: So in your experience, I mean, is Obama facing anything new here in terms of the level of viciousness and the level of partisan disapproval, partisan fury, if you like? Is this new or does it just seem new?
RICH: It seems new. First of all, there's been partisan fury in this country since the hallowed Founding Fathers. That's always been the case. People like Thomas Jefferson were despised and ridiculed in some quarters. So of course was Lincoln later on. But this particular flavor, it's not new, but the genesis of it was about 50 years ago coming out of the Eisenhower years when this new radical movement that really was so unalterably opposed to government took charge and started to organize and the centerpieces of it back then were Orange County, California, and Texas.
Now it's a much bigger movement. In 1963, the year that Kennedy died, there was polling that showed 5 percent of Americans supported the extreme right-wing views of the John Birch society. Now we have a major political – major political party, the Republicans, where that's the base. There's a – much more than 5 percent subscribing to these extreme views and reflecting it in ways like shouting out "you lie" when Obama speaks before Congress.
MORGAN: I mean, it seems to me, who obviously I'm not an American, I've come into this from Britain where we have a lot of nonsense between politicians. But the level of intransigence in Washington right now seems so contrary to the national need in the sense that nothing seems to be getting done.
RICH: It's this complete disconnect between Washington and the rest of the country. And I think if there's anything that even has polarized America that both political parties or voters of both parties agree about – not to mention independents – is that Washington is a cesspool.
Congress has a 9 percent approval rating in a recent poll. And that tells – and that was before the breakdown of this so-called Super Committee that was anything but super. And not really a committee actually. And so you have a country that's in enormous economic distress, that is still fighting a major war, arguably several, which is heating up. And you have a dysfunctional – dysfunctional is too weak a word. You have a nonfunctional government in Washington that now has essentially adjourned until Election Day 2012 because certainly nothing positive is going to happen during this campaign season.
MORGAN: I mean the one who's always impressed me but doesn't get much traction is Jon Huntsman. Why does he not get more attention?
RICH: I think most people don't know who he is. He's someone with actually a distinguished record of public service, moderately conservative but quite conservative views, you could argue, more consistently conservative than Romney if you look at his whole career, but he doesn't really have a constituency within that party.
His main constituency is within the press. Everyone who's interviewed him – and I've done that – likes him, finds him smart. I may not agree with all of his views. But this is – you know, he's running as a man of sanity in a crazy situation with this perpetual sort of "American Idol" version of American politics that is the Republican sweepstakes this year.

Back then the vast consolidated progressive media could slam down anyone. The John Birch society was just another victim of a smear campaign as Herman Cain is today.
They certainly had nothing to do with killing Kennedy and given what was known about LBJ would probably give their lives to keep Kennedy in the White House and LBJ out.
Oswald also did not kill Kennedy in connection with LBJ. That it worked so well for the worldwide Communist conspiracy was just a happy but unplanned accident for them.

All I need to know about Piers
Submitted by Quasi-socialist on Wed, 11/30/2011 - 10:05am.
is that he called Rich's heap of insinuation a "fascinating article". Rich offers no detail either in that piece or this interview. The proper popularity of the John Birch society "ideas" was set in the 60s, it's relative popularity today just shows "how far we have fallen". How popular was Gay Marriage in the 60s, Mr. Rich? Is that the proper level of popularity? Have we fallen or risen with the popularity?
Even if Rich is remotely right in the "anti-government ideas" of the JBS, there is a difference between distrusting the government and spitting on people. One is a position, the other is a temperament. Just because more people might agree with a position that was unpopular, doesn't mean that they then back all the presentations of that idea during the time it was unpopular.
Imagine this argument: Gay Rights would have been a vastly unpopular idea in the 60s, and in the 70s, groups like Act Up, which supported Gay Rights were highly unpopular for their disgusting antics, now the ideas that drove Act Up are mainstream, thus every supporter of Gay Marriage consents to the behavior of Act Up.
Again, Rich does not seem to be able to divide anything from anything; it's all a morass of assumption and insinuation and, yes, Guilt By Association. Since Rich shows none of his math, you have to trust the analysis of the very same person that wrote this slag heap of free association.
Although I share few of the motivations of JBS, from what I have researched of them, I find their predictions about that time amazingly prescient. As well, I have always thought of myself as if I would have been a federalist during the time of the union's founding. However, I have found the Anti-federalists also amazingly prescient and much more accurate in understanding how state power would be confiscated by federal courts than the (face it) pie-in-the-sky federalists, including one of my favorites, James Madison.
I find much less credible the liberal strain that gained hold by indignation that any conscientious American should be considered an "enemy within" only to find them obsessed with the conservative enemy within.
I sometimes wonder whether Buckley nobly opposed the JBS or just was the first squish act gaining favor with the press, just as conservatives of those decades gradually demurred to the liberal narrative on Tail-gunner Joe and associating investigations into Communist ties to cabinet offices (under Senate oversight duties) to the "Blacklisting" done by the largely Democratic HUAC under the term "McCarthyism".

Romper Room is a top notch climb that I feel is on par with the more popular, Eyeless in Gaza. I guess all the first ascentionists reached the anchor at precisely the same moment, back when men were men. Approximately 10-15 feet of awkward, blocky but fun 5.6ish climbing leads to the first bolt and a stance. Clip the next bolt above your head and come back down to view the crux, a bouldery, balancy set of moves up to a small roof. Keep your balance for the third clip, pull over the roof, and enjoy the sustained and blissful face above. I agree with Jay Knower who wrote in his description of Yellow Matter Custard that, "Despite the lycra tights and the high-top boots, those guys knew a good sport route when they saw one."

Major traffic disruptions are on the way for one of Charlottesville's busiest intersections. Almost 50 years after it was first discussed, construction on the final piece of the Meadow Creek Parkway is underway.
Drivers beware. In about two weeks the busy intersection is going to get even busier as construction teams descend to build an interchange.
The pieces are all lined up to start work on a controversial interchange in Charlottesville - work that will disrupt the intersection for up to two years.
"On a scale of one to ten, regrettably it's a big hit because it is our largest road," said Angela Tucker, development services manager.
The Route 250 interchange project is finally approved and construction is just getting underway at the intersection of McIntire Road and Route 250.
It's the third piece of the Meadow Creek Parkway. The $20.1 million project will put a diamond-style interchange at the intersection.
"This will provide a beautiful and safe gateway into our downtown, that's relatively succinct. That's been our position for decades," said Tim Hulbert, member of the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce.
In the coming weeks, drivers should expect partial lane closures and lane shifts since there is no viable detour around the area.
"There's going to be some confusion with construction going on as early as next week and people need to be patient because it will get better," said Hulbert.
Hulbert asks that, even after 50 years, everyone is patient.
"We do ask people to be patient. It already does back up during peak hours. We're going to do our best not to make that too terribly much worse," said Tucker.
The city is hosting a community briefing on the project at Charlottesville High School from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday. Staff members are collecting contact information for people to give them a heads up on traffic changes.

Co-Op bank has 'clear plan' to strengthen its position
The Co-operative bank has issued the following statement after its recent Moody's rating agency downgrade.
The bank's chief executive has announced his resignation.
We are disappointed by the ratings downgrade announced by Moody's. We have a strong funding profile and high levels of liquidity, which are significantly above the regulatory requirements.
We do acknowledge, like the rest of our banking sector peers, the need to strengthen our capital position in light of the broader economic downturn and the pending introduction of enhanced regulatory requirements, and we have a clear plan to drive this forward throughout the coming months.
Our banking business is already characterised by excellent levels of customer service and advocacy, as recently highlighted in reports by YouGov and uSwitch.
Our primary current account base in recent years has enjoyed significant growth. The actions we will now take to strengthen our balance sheet and simplify our business model around a core relationship banking offer, will create a compelling co-operative banking business which is truly distinctive within the banking sector.

Monday's (Feb. 24) edition of Racing Roundup features results stories from The Meadows and Dover Downs.
Real Amor gets third straight in Meadows pace; Palone wins six
Washington, PA --- An upstart in the field of elite distaff pacers, Real Amor hardly was intimidated as she moved first over to victory -- her third straight -- in Monday's $20,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap at The Meadows.
After trainer Brewer Adams claimed Real Amor for Adams Racing LLC for $10,000 on Jan. 22, she won her first start for her new connections in a conditioned event. Against tougher on Monday, she rolled from fourth for Mike Wilder and scored in 1:54.1, four lengths better than Shine N Shimmer. Blissful Romance rallied from last for show.
Real Amor, a 6-year-old daughter of Real Artist-Sweet Amor, extended her career bankroll to $215,215.
Dave Palone drove six winners -- three for trainer Ron Burke -- on the 15-race card while Wilder carved out a four-bagger.
-- Evan Pattak
Dover Downs
It was owner-trainer Bob Winkelman's biggest win, turning Paradise Lost into 'Paradise Found' by winning the $20,000 Mares Open Pace at Dover Downs. Paradise Lost overtook front-pacing Jeremes Sweetheart in deep stretch while holding off fast-finishing Alexachase at the wire in 1:53.1 on Monday. Winkelman has been training one or two horses for the past three decades, first at the late Brandywine Raceway. He has brought Paradise Lost from a rejected green pacer he bought to a hard-hitting female pacer. Ron Pierce had to use race favorite Jeremes Sweetheart hard leaving from the outside in a select field of distaff pacers before taking the lead at the quarter. Heading to the half-mile Paradise Lost was first to move and driver Ross Wolfenden drove up to challenge for the lead. The front-pacing duo raced side-by-side the rest of the mile until Wolfenden urged Paradise Lost to the front by a head. Meanwhile Bret Brittingham was hustling Alexachase four-wide around the last turn and they closed with a rush to edge Jeremes Sweetheart by a head for second place. Paradise Lost is a 7-year-old daughter of Artsplace-Loving Ideal and now has won her first of the year to go with a second and three thirds, banking $24,450. In her career, she has 18 wins and $194,661 earnings. Corey Callahan, who leads all drivers in wins during 2014, finished the card with four wins.

Trinity Cathedral's Wednesday evening programs resume Feb. 5, 2014
Wednesday Evenings at Trinity begin with Evensong at 6 p. m., followed by supper ($5 donation) and a program at 7:30 p.m. In addition to the study series listed below, groups also meet for Tai Chi and other activities. Wednesday evening classes at Trinity include:
Embracing Spiritual Awakening
April 23, 30; May 7, 14, 21
Led by Gina Turella and Gail Smith
Embracing Spiritual Awakening is a video series that is hosted by Diana Butler Bass that invites participants to explore our evolving cultural landscape and then reflect on how our changing context is influencing our spirituality — affecting where and how we experience the Divine in our midst. Butler Bass, who perceives this shift as being akin to another of history's "great awakenings," frames the discussion around our contemporary categories of being spiritual and being religious. She then explores how Christians may live faithfully as they know and experience the Divine in their own lives.
Tai Chi
February – May
Led by George Anderson
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that was originally developed for self-defense (it is considered to be a martial art form). Today tai chi has evolved into a graceful and elegant form of exercise where each posture flows gently into the next without pause which ensures that your body remains in constant motion. Consequently, tai chi is sometimes described as meditation in motion. Because of its gentle and flowing style, tai chi is considered to be a self-paced system of gentle stretching and low impact exercise that naturally promotes stress reduction. Tai chi is generally considered safe and beneficial for all ages and fitness levels.
Getting Balanced through Energy
May 21
Led by Dottie Rieman
Dottie Rieman is a Reiki Master and will lead a class that explores various techniques for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes health. Most alternative or eastern approaches to medicine is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. Thus, it is imperative to good health to seek to balance this energy. Dottie will explore various techniques that will promote a more balanced approach to how we live our lives.
Integrating Our Spiritual Differences
Feb. 5
Led by Christian Grostic
Discussing religious matters in society (or even in church) can sometimes feel like a lost cause, talking past each other more than with each other. Imagine Richard Dawkins and the "new atheists" having dinner with Pat Robertson and the Christian Coalition, or just a progressive Episcopalian speaking about her faith with a fundamentalist of the same denomination. Drawing on integral theory's frameworks for illuminating the partial truths of all perspectives, we will talk about how our various perspectives on God, religion, and spirituality have split apart, how we can better understand them in our own interactions, and how the truths in each can inform our own spiritual lives.
We will draw on models developed by integral philosophers to discuss the multitude of religious perspectives within the western world; how each adds a crucial partial truth to a larger vision; and how we can better bring out and connect to that truth in our own interactions. We will also draw on the work of developmental researchers to focus more deeply on one aspect of those different perspectives – what Dr. James Fowler calls "stages of faith" – and how that aspect reveals striking insights into our spiritual lives and those around us.
Anne Frank: An Expression of Moral Courage for Our Day
Feb. 12, 19, 26
Led by Fern Ruth Levy, MS, MAJS
This year marks the 85th anniversary of the birth of Anne Frank and Martin Luther King, Jr. Both of these social visionaries were able to not only envision a world that is no longer defined by the overt discrimination of racism but to articulate the inevitability of such possibility. The dream for society that Anne Frank envisioned while in hiding and Martin Luther King, Jr. publicly articulated is as relevant today as it was in the mid-twentieth century. The life of Anne Frank provides invaluable insights concerning not only how we should perceive one another and our world but more importantly for how we should engage the other and thereby transform our world. As noted by Fern Levy, "There is much to admire and learn from those who were lost, those who survived and those who risked all to protect." The struggle of Anne Frank is the ongoing struggle of humanity and her hope for the world is the continuing hope for humanity.
Fern Ruth Levy is an Anne Frank scholar and the Director and Founder of the Anne Frank Moral Courage Project of Cleveland. Ms. Levy has had the privilege of meeting and interviewing people who knew Anne Frank and her family. This includes Miep Geis whose family hid the Frank Family for two years during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. This past year Ms. Levy traveled to the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam and the Anne Frank Center in Berlin, Germany to participate in conversations focusing on highlighting the relevancy of the legacy of Anne Frank throughout this year which commemorates the 85th anniversary of Anne Frank's birth.
Book Study: Moonlight Sonata at the Mayo Clinic
March 12, 19, 26
Led by Charlotte Nichols
Moonlight Sonata at the Mayo Clinic chronicles the experience of Nora Gallagher who was diagnosed with an inflamed optic nerve (cause unknown) that if untreated would result in her becoming blind. Her search for a diagnosis and treatment plan forced her to let go of her busy and assured life and acknowledge the uncertainty of life and her vulnerability. It necessitated a change of lifestyle — forcing her to slow down and refocus. This book was written while Gallagher was still recovering and is a meditation on serious illness and how it impacts one's life — not only the life of the patient but those who are close to the patient. This book opens up discussions about vulnerability and faith — not only within the context of serious illness but whenever one's life is turned upside down. In other words, this book provides reflections for those times in life when the world is going forward and you are not.
The Paschal Mystery
April 2
Led by the Rev. Kay Rackley
Most of us who have been raised in the church are familiar with the term "Paschal Mystery" and associate it within the context of Holy Week and the Triduum (from the Latin meaning "three days" which refer to the great ceremonies of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Great Vigil of Easter). Unfortunately, our understanding tends to remain objective — viewing this great mystery of the church as being solely a remembrance of the historical events pertaining to the passion and death of Jesus of Nazareth. By consigning this mystery to a memorial commemoration of past events, we end up striping it of any relevance within our present context or of any power within our lives.
The paschal mystery is about paschal death and resurrected life. The teaching and example of Jesus of Nazareth is that as we journey the path of human life — which includes suffering and loss, surrender and letting go — we become capable of living into the fullness of Life Itself. The human journey takes us from the limiting and small self of the ego into the fullness of the human being we were created to be. The paschal mystery reminds us of the paradoxical nature of spirituality — that it is only as we become empty, receptive, insignificant and weak that we become most open and are capable of experiencing God's grace in our lives.
In the paschal mystery we are invited to begin the process of letting go of our false-self or ego-self in order that we may embrace the God Self that lives within. The paschal mystery is the invitation to enter into the cosmic Christ — into the Divine Itself, the Word of God, in whom we live and move and have our being. This is the place of uninhibited faith that knows that God's will is being done no matter what our circumstances may be.
Encore: Finding Work that Matters in the Second Half of Life
April 2, 9
Led by Wayne Bifano
Marc Freedman, the author of Encore, explores the options we have as we approach the "second half of life." For many, the cultural model for retirement, which is understood to be freedom from work and the opportunity to live exclusively for one's self, is assumed to be the only acceptable paradigm. Freedman, however, contends that retirement can be something very different. We can choose to engage in an "encore" career where the goal is to be able to "stop climbing the ladder and start making a difference, to trade money for meaning, to have the latitude to work on things that matter most." It is this scenario that Freedman explores through the stories of several encore career pioneers who are working not only for continued income but the promise of more meaning and the opportunity to engage in work that matters. This redefinition of retirement not only holds the potential to transform work but to create a society that works better for all the generations.
The Episcopal Church Welcomes You Really!
Feb. 5-March 26 & April 9 (Does not meet March 5, Ash Wednesday)
Led by the Rev. Canon Will Mebane
The Episcopal Church Welcomes You, Really! (TECWYR!) is a wide-ranging-and honest-exploration of our faith, our Church and our common life. Newcomers, seekers, Episcopalians and everyone else are welcome. Those who wish may use this class to prepare for confirmation or reception into The Episcopal Church. Registration is not required, but helpful. Guests do not need to attend every class but are welcome at any time. Contact Ginger Bitikofer at 216-774-0407 or by email. See the course outline.
The Sacraments: Marking Life's Transitions
April 23, 30
Led by the Rev. Kay Rackley
The standard definition for a sacrament is "an outward and visible sign of an inward and inner grace." Although this remains a good, basic definition, it does imply that the sacraments are consigned to the realm of the sacred. In other words, the inherent assumption is that there is no essential relationship between the sacraments and our experience of life. And yet, the intention of the sacraments is to enable us to make the connection between the finite and the infinite; the secular and the sacred; the human and the divine. Through our participation in the sacraments the ordinary routines of human life become pregnant with meaning and purpose. This class will explore how the sacraments provide a larger context for our lived experiences and thereby give meaning and purpose to our lives.

Endive and Beet Salad with Candied Walnuts
Serves 4
3 medium red beets, greens removed
1 clove garlic, peeled and halved
1/4 cup red or white wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
Candied walnuts:
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch salt
1 cup walnut halves or pieces
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
1 shallot, minced
Salt and pepper
4 large endives, preferably 2 white and 2 red
Preheat oven to 400°F. Put beets in small baking dish with garlic, wine vinegar and water. Cover with lid or aluminum foil and bake until beets are tender when pierced, 45 to 60 minutes. Peel while warm. Let cool, then cut into small cubes.
For walnuts: Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. In bowl, stir together sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Bring small pot of water to boil over high heat. Add walnuts and boil for 1 minute. Drain in a sieve. While they are still slightly
damp, add walnuts to bowl with spiced sugar and stir to coat evenly. Spread walnuts on parchment paper and bake until they are fragrant and sugar has melted, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
For dressing: In small bowl, whisk together oil, wine vinegar, shallot and salt and pepper to taste.
Add enough dressing to beets to coat them lightly. Slice endives crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide pieces. Discard ends. Put endive in bowl and toss with remaining dressing. Arrange on serving platter. Scatter beets over endives, then scatter candied walnuts over all. Serve immediately.
Home entertaining peaks at holiday time, and stress spikes along with it.
But that was last year. This year, implement a new strategy. Start stockpiling festive recipes that rely more on your flair than your time, such as anything made with the fashionable and elegant endive. Both white and red varieties make an immediate style statement and can take you from Thanksgiving through New Year's with minimal effort. Endive (say on-deev) can help you keep a lid on holiday calories, too. At only one calorie per spear, endive is truly the "slimmer dipper," a more wholesome choice than crackers or salty chips.
A versatile vegetable developed in Belgium (but now California grown), endive can come to the table either hot or cold. Crisp and refreshing when sliced raw in salads with candied walnuts and ruby beets, the shapely heads also bake to perfection. Braise them with broth, cream, and mustard for a side dish worthy of your Thanksgiving turkey or a holiday roast. For a cocktail party, the curvaceous spears can cradle any filling or scoop any dip, from a creamy feta spread to a spicy shrimp salad.
Endive may have a glamorous aura but it's a remarkably practical choice: less expensive pound-for-pound than most bagged salad mixes; longer lasting (up to 14 days if kept in moist paper towels in a plastic bag); and all but effortless. You don't even need to wash it or spin it dry; just slice the heads crosswise for salads, discarding the core, or braise the plump heads whole. Its captivating bittersweet flavor has made endive a European favorite, a complement to apples, pears, and nuts, smoked fish, and roast meats.
All week we'll be offering fabulous recipes that add the delicious to your holiday entertaining, while steering clear of added stress. First up, Endive with Roasted Red Pepper Feta Spread!
Endive with Roasted Red Pepper Feta Spread
Makes 1 1/3 cups spread, to serve 8
1/2 pound Greek or French feta, in small chunks
1/2 large roasted red bell pepper, peeled, seeded and sliced
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, or more if needed
2 dozen white and red endive spears for dipping
Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish
Kalamata olives, for garnish
Put feta, bell pepper and garlic in food processor and blend, adding just as much olive oil as needed to make a smooth puree. Transfer spread to serving platter or bowl and surround with endive spears. Garnish with dill sprigs and olives.

You say "N-dive", I say "On-deev". Is there a difference?
Actually, there is.
Although they are both members of the chicory family, they are different. Take a look at this lovely collection of chicory family members, and you'll see what I mean.
When you say "N-dive" you are referring to curly endive. Grown outdoors, this type of endive is the wild member of the family, with curly, deeply-indented disheveled leaves. A tamer looking version is called escarole. Frisee is a smaller headed variety with fine leaves and a semi-blanched center. In some parts of the U.S., it's called chicory.
So what is endive (ON-deev)? Most often referred to as Belgian endive, it could be called the elegant member of the chicory family, with its tightly packed leaves and smooth, elongated shape. Unlike curly endive or other chicories, its final growth takes place in the dark, contributing to its white or blanched color.
We're on a mission to let everyone know about ON-deev. Even pros like Giada De Laurentiis mix up these two members of the chicory family from time to time. Now that you are "in the know", make sure to ask for it by name (ON-deev)!
Endive is one of the most versatile and delicious vegetables in the world. Maybe that's why it's called "white gold" in Belgium. Now you can purchase Belgian-style endive grown in the U.S.A. by Discover Endive. For more information on California (Belgian-style) Endive, visit Discover Endive.
I love endive – braised, grilled, in salads or as an edible scoop for dips. I'll eat this crunchy, nutty, slightly bitter vegetable any way it's served.
So you can imagine my delight when I was invited last Wednesday to Rio Vista, California, for an endive farm tour at California Vegetable Specialties (CVS), the largest producer of endive in the U.S.
I had seen endive growing experimentally in Hawaii on a small scale. But I was unprepared for the magnitude of production at CVS. And while I knew the heads grew in pitch-black conditions, I hadn't really understood how complicated it was to produce this delicacy – a two-step process that involves growing chicory roots, harvesting the roots and keeping them in cold storage; then awakening the hibernating roots and forcing the heads to grow in dark rooms, nourished from the root and through a hydroponic process. CVS founder Rich Collins sums it up as "a contrived, manipulated response to a plant." Check out the fascinating growing process in this video.
Collins, a delightful host and an excellent teacher, always wanted to be a farmer, even as a child. But the desire didn't take root until he encountered endive. As an 18-year-old dishwasher at the French restaurant La Salle in Sacramento, he was exposed to endive just once: at a VIP birthday banquet at the restaurant where braised endive was served. He hadn't tasted the endive, but when he learned that this delicacy was only available imported from Europe and the high price it commanded, Collins was hooked.
That very year, he started a small patch to grow endive. "I failed miserably," he recalled. After many years researching growing techniques and a year in Europe working on endive farms, Collins began commercial production on five acres in 1983. Today, the farm has expanded to 250 acres, 40 of which are dedicated to organic endive.
One of the secrets to successfully growing endive is in the quality of the chicory roots that go into cold storage. "You need really good plant materials," he said. "The cold room is not a hospital." You can't coax poor roots into make quality endive.
We had a delicious endive lunch following the tour, including this Endive Salad below.
And by the way, the proper pronunciation, we learned, is "On-deev." "End-dive" refers to another member of the chicory family, the green, leafy curly endive, escarole and frisee that grow outdoors in the light. I always thought there was a French pronunciation and an American one; but pronunciation actually defines the two different members of the chicory family.

Endive Salad
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 white endives, heads sliced crosswise in wide ribbons
2 red endives, heads sliced crosswise in wide ribbons
1 cup arugula
½ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
¼ cup toasted pumpkin seeds or other nuts
1 large pear (Bartlett or Bosc), sliced
In a large bowl whisk together vinegar, lemon juice, oil, mustard and garlic until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper. Add the endives and arugula and toss. Divide salad among four salad plates. Scatter the Parmesan shavings and the pumpkin seeds on top, dividing equally and arrange ¼ of the pear slices on each salad. Serves 4.

Crest Refunds Teeth-Staining Mouthwash
For customer's teeth stained brown by by Crest Pro-Health Mouthwash, Crest is refunding their bottles of mouthwash, but you have to push for them to pay for it. Reader Peter called the 1-800-285-9139 Crest number we posted about. "The rep was very aware of the situation & asked for some #s off the bottles I had. I had purchased 2 huge bottles from COSTCO," Peter writes. "He offered to send some coupons. I told him that I wanted a full refund. He immediately said he would do so & is sending me a check for almost $16." So not only will they pay for your cleaning if your insurance doesn't cover it, they'll give you your money back for buying the stuff. Good. Now how about taking it off the market?

So if Crest makes your mouth look like you've been chewing tobacco sine you were 13, and your insurance won't cover the cleaning, email them via this webform or call 1-800-285-9139 and see if Crest will pay for your teeth cleaning. No word on whether they'll be helping customers recover their ability to taste anything.

Push the Talking Trash Can
Push the Talking Trash Can is a radio-controlled robot which makes daily rounds throughout Tomorrowland at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park, Hong Kong Disneyland park, Disneyland Paris, Tokyo Disneyland in Japan and formerly The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
Push had been entertaining guests at The Magic Kingdom since February 1995, and at one point was the focus of a grass roots effort to elect him as "Mayor of Tomorrowland".
On February 10, 2014, despite a social media campaign particularly on Twitter using the hashtag "#savePUSH",[1] Push the Talking Trash Can was retired at Walt Disney World.[2]
The robot is puppeteered by a single operator in plain clothes. The transmitter is hidden inside a shoulder strapped gym bag, while the microphone is held at the mouth of the puppeteer, concealed in the hand. The robot contains a voice processor which changes the operator's voice to a high-pitched, nasal register. Since the operator is so close to the robot, Push can interact directly with guests.
The robot is propelled with the transmission, wheels and tires of a custom based, designed and staffed by a local robotic entertainment company, under contract with Disney. Disney has extended the technique and technology to audio-animatronic characters such as the Muppet Mobile Lab, Lucky the Dinosaur, and Wall-E.
