Seattle Times business reporter
Facing the need to spend billions on new power plants and equipment over the coming years, Puget Energy — the parent of Puget Sound Energy, Washington state's largest electric and gas utility — has agreed to sell itself to a consortium of private investors for $3.51 billion.
Customer rates should not be affected by any change in control of the company, state regulators said.
The consortium, led by Australia's Macquarie Infrastructure Partners and three big Canadian pension funds, is paying $30 per share, a 25.3 percent premium over the stock's Thursday close.
The investor group also will buy $300 million of newly issued Puget Energy stock before the end of the year — giving the company an immediate cash infusion. The buyers will assume $3.2 billion in existing Puget Energy debt as well.
After the takeover is completed, the consortium also will secure new loans totaling at least $2.15 billion to help Puget Energy expand the amount of power it produces and hedge against fluctuations in energy prices — part of what the company said would be $5 billion in new money over the next five years.
"If you don't continue to spend, you find yourself in catch-up mode the way we are with roads and bridges," chief executive Steve Reynolds said in an interview. "We think there's a better model than constantly going back to the capital markets year after year."
Over the next two decades, Reynolds said, Puget plans to build 10 wind farms and 10 gas-fired power plants, both to keep up with demand and to meet the company's sustainable-energy requirements.
Puget Sound Energy has more than 1 million electric customers and just over 721,000 natural gas customers, primarily in the fast-growing Puget Sound region.
Despite a successful year in 2006 — it earned $219.2 million on $2.9 billion in revenue — Puget Energy has struggled over much of the past five years, and its stock price has lagged the rest of the utility sector for years.
But Christopher Leslie, chief executive of Macquarie Infrastructure, said Puget Energy is just the kind of company it likes to invest in, and plans to hold it for the long term.
"The mandate from our investors is to find well-run businesses that are stable and predictable and can put large amounts of capital to use over a period of years," Leslie said in an interview.
The deal would be funded by $3.2 billion in cash provided by the consortium members, $1.6 billion of new debt and $2.6 billion of existing debt.
Puget Energy's stock rose as high as $28.60 in New York Stock Exchange trading Friday, before falling back to close at $27.86. Still, that represented a 16.3 percent increase, and was the highest Puget's stock has been since January 1999.
The company plans to keep its headquarters in Bellevue and retain Reynolds and the rest of its current management. It will continue to honor its existing collective bargaining agreements with three union locals.
The deal already has been approved by Puget Energy's board, but the company's shareholders also must vote to go ahead. It also must be approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the state Utilities and Transportation Commission, a process likely to take several months. Reynolds said he expects the deal to be completed sometime in the second half of 2008.
The agreement gives Puget Energy until Dec. 10 to solicit better offers, a move intended to protect shareholders. Should another bid emerge, the company would have to pay an unspecified breakup fee to the consortium partners.

Yes, the Martish you found buried in the Fogg Cemetery in Giles Co TN is the same Marticia Ann who married first Samuel C. CASHION, and after he died during the Civil War, she later married William T. "Bill" SHELTON. Her maiden name was not Harwell, however; it was SHELTON -- she was the daughter of Jesse and Malinda Pillow SHELTON.
Hope this helps. I am still looking for the parents of William T. "Bill" SHELTON. Anyone know?

Leader of Hungary's Anti-Semitic Party Finds Out He's Jewish
In a story that might be considered sort of a cautionary tale for groups that pilfer hate and fear of your neighbors, Csanad Szegedi—the leader of Hungary's overtly anti-Semitic Jobbik Party—has discovered that he is Jewish. Very Jewish. As in, both of his grandparents spent years in Nazi concentration camps. This came as a tough blow for a man who continuously railed against the "Jewishness" of Hungary's political elite. He was first confronted with the evidence back in 2010, by a prisoner who had evidence of Szegedi's mother's Jewish roots. Szegedi bribed the man to keep him quiet, but rumors spread and, in June, he resigned from all party positions. Even this wasn't enough for the Jobbik party, who have forced him out of European Parliament as well. The story appears to be ending on a high note, as Szegedi is making a pilgrimage of sorts: he's going to Auschwitz to pay respects to the Jewish martyrs ...

"When Cameron was in Egypt's land, let me Cameron go." You'll have to excuse me, I just see a title like Ferris Bueller (Personal Day Off) and instinctively start quoting the most rewatchable movie of my childhood ('80s babies stand up!). Luckily Slow Risers The Canz' new record does a lot more than just allow me to quote one of my favorite movies, it's also provided me with something new to bump in my iPod. Playing hooky but putting in some work on Bueller behind the boards is producer Marcoticks, who crafts exactly the kind of relaxed beat Canz emcees Prominent and Foster need to tell their boss to lyrically shove it, sentiments more than capably echoed by guest rappers Aleon Craft and El Prez. Looking for more inspiration to quit your crappy job? You're in luck. The Canz' sequel mixtape The Slow Rise II is dropping on this very site soon-ish, and you can of course see them live, alongside Crooked I, Evidence, !Mayday! and many more, at DJBooth's A3C showcase on October 8. Feel free to ditch work and show up.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
A documentary featuring Vikram Gandhi, Purva Bedi and Kristin Calgaro.
Growing up in New Jersey, Vikram Gandhi was a typical American kid who resented the way his family tried to enforce Hindu beliefs and practices. He found it ironic that Americans began to popularize gurus and yoga just at the time he was growing away from such things. On a trip to India, he says, he found that "real" gurus were no more real than the American frauds who copied them.
That led him into the deliberate deception that he filmed in "Kumare." He grew a long beard and a pony-tail, exchanged his shoes for sandals, switched his slacks and suits to flowing orange robes, and started carrying an ornate walking stick. Then he moved to Arizona, hired an expert to teach him yoga and a PR woman to promote him as a guru, and began to attract followers in meetings at shopping malls, community centers and around the swimming pools of his affluent clients. His accent was modeled on the way his grandmother spoke English. His teachings were deliberate gibberish: talk of inner blue lights, "finding the guru within," and chants of fabricated mantras.
At this point in the film, it takes an odd turn. Kumare's followers believe him without question. They share their deepest secrets with him and visibly appear to benefit from him. These people are not dummies. Mostly middle-aged, they take their health seriously, are somewhat skilled at yoga and follow schedules of meditation. "Kumare" seems to establish that a guru can be a complete fraud and nevertheless do a certain amount of good, because what matters is not the sincerity of the guru but that of his followers.
Gandhi seems typecast for the role of Kumare. Tall, thin, bending forward to listen better, he speaks warmly and encouragingly, and makes deep eye contact. He smiles easily. He never pushes too far. He seems as real as any guru and more real than some. His teaching of yoga seems within the ability of his followers to accomplish. He narrates the documentary (in an ordinary American voice), introduces us to followers he's grown close to, and begins to believe he may have started something that was out of his control.
He tells his followers the time has come for him to leave them. Now they are on their own. He returns to New Jersey, cuts his hair, shaves his beard, and begins to practice a speech in the mirror: "I am not who you think I am." Whether he ever says this, and how the movie ends, I will leave for you to discover.
It seems to me that "Kumare" reflects a truth that is often expressed in three words: "Act as if." If you can act as if something is true, in a sense that makes it true. It doesn't matter if a teacher's spiritual teachings have any basis. It doesn't matter if the supernatural even exists (Gandhi believes it does not). His followers benefit by acting "as if."
When I first heard this film described, I assumed it would be a satirical, snarky comedy like Sacha Baron Cohen's "Borat." Not so. Gandhi seems to be essentially a good man, and he learns things of value to himself in his experiment. In a sense, the deception he practices on his followers is contemptible, but in another sense, they're all in it together. The film's implication seems to be: It doesn't matter if a religion's teachings are true. What matters is if you think they are.

The American Hotel & Lodging Association's daily briefing of news clips, the SmartBrief, recently ran a poll asking hoteliers if they think there should be government standards to ensure that negative reviews on TripAdvisor and other such websites are posted by legitimate travelers rather than competing hotels. According to AH&LA, Germany already has such standards, so it put the question to its readers: "Do you feel such standards are necessary?" According to the daily SmartBrief, 79.12% said, "Yes. The system makes it too easy for competitors to unfairly tarnish or destroy a hotel's reputation." The remaining 20.88% said, "No. The system is democratic and the number of legitimate reviews will nearly always outnumber the bogus ones." It would appear that the hoteliers have spoken. Despite the kind words they have for the social network sites, a substantial majority appear to believe that some controls are called for. End of story? Not quite. Now we're wondering how many hoteliers voted twice. Do you suppose we need government standards for SmartBrief polls?

Three injured in hit-and-run crash
Date: July 17, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Florida Highway Patrol investigators are searching for vehicle that fled the scene of an early morning crash at Interstate 75 and State Road 64.
According to FHP reports, the driver of the suspect car was traveling southbound on I-75 in the center lane. A second vehicle, a 2002 Ford SUV, was traveling in the right lane. the suspect car attempted to change lanes and struck the SUV in the left rear. The collision caused the SUV to rotate and eventually overturn. It came to rest facing northeast; the driver of the suspect car fled the scene, the report said.
The driver of the SUV, Courtney Ritchart, of North Port, and one of her three passengers, Kira Salter, or Port Charlotte, were taken to Manatee Memorial Hospital with minor injuries. A second passenger, Justin Jones, of Punta Gorda, was ejected from the SUV as it overturned and was taken to Bayfront Medical Center with serious injuries. The fourth passenger, Claudia Santiago, sustained minor injuries but did not require hospitalization.
Jones was not wearing a seatbelt.
The suspect vehicle is only described as a white, two-passenger vehicle.

text: Jan Trabuco Canyon, CA 3/25/2011 2:41:44 PM Our puppy is now 16 wks old and is overly frightened of so many noises. We got her at 7.5 wks and she came from a breeder who had 6 adult dogs (kept in cages) and 10 littermates, so how she became afraid of noise is a mystery to us! She has been extremely hard to housetrain because of hearing other dogs in the neighborhood bark when she is taken into the back yard to potty. Our vet told us not to walk her due to parvo, until she had her 4th puppy shot, which we pushed up to 15th wk because we were afraid of missing the socialization window! Now she is almost impossible to walk because she stops and/or wants to run home with every car she hears. We try to distract her by getting her to run and that is the only way we've been able to get her to the local park. Once there she is fine, and gets along great with every dog she has met, but the walk down hasn't become any easier. Any other suggestions??

Lt. Gen. Michael E. Williamson, U.S. Army
Sometimes you have a plan but contingencies come up and force you to change. That's the situation the Army finds itself in. The service is taking a close look at how budget constraints and blossoming global conflicts are forcing it to adjust. Army Lt. Gen. Michael Williamson is military deputy to the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology and director of Acquisition Career Management.

Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, Chief of Staff, U.S. Army
Only a few weeks ago, Army leadership was planning to shrink its force to levels unseen since before World War II. But that was before Islamic State terrorists threatened to take over Iraq and Syria, before Russia invaded Ukraine and before the U.S. began deploying 4,000 troops to West Africa to help control the Ebola outbreak. Now the Army's Chief of Staff, Gen. Ray Odierno, suggests the Army and political leaders need to rethink their plans. He spoke with Emily Kopp at the Association of the Army Expo about the Army's next steps.

Bill Greenwalt, Fellow, American Enterprise Institute
Today is the first of a three-day series here at Federal News Radio called The Missing Pieces of Procurement Reform. Today's focus is legislating reform. Over the years, what statutes have made the most impact, what have been the least successful and what pending legislation holds the most promise? The Clinger-Cohen act changed the landscape of federal procurement back in 1996. It gave agencies more authority and formalized the CIO position. Bill Greenwalt is a former Senate staff member who helped pen Clinger-Cohen, formally known as the Information Technology Management Reform Act. He's now a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Greenwalt joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to explain why the Clinger-Cohen act was needed to update the prevailing law at the time.

The United States is teaming up with NATO allies and partner countries in Eastern Europe for training exercises and logistics collaboration. The exercises take place frequently, but now there's added tension. Namely, sustained aggression from Russia against Ukraine. The U.S. actions fall under a strategy umbrella called Operation Atlantic Resolve. Maj. Gen. Walter Piatt is deputy commanding general of Army Europe and Commander of Army NATO. He spoke with Emily Kopp at the Association of the Army Expo.

Gil Kerlikowske, Commissioner, U.S. Customs and Border Protection
You might say Customs and Border Protection had a busy summer. The agency had to deal with a surge of unaccompanied minors. Tens of thousands of them flooded across the Mexican border. CBP handled all it with limited funding. It also faced claims that agents used excessive force at detention centers and against people trying to cross into the United States illegally. Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss the next steps.

Is it time for fresh procurement reform or just a rereading of existing law?
Few activities have vexed the federal complex of Congress, agency managers, overseers and regulation-writers over the decades more than procurement. Buying things, so simple to individuals, is a highly legalized and regulated process in government. Federal News Radio's special report, Missing Pieces of Procurement Reform, will look back at the past 20 years of acquisition laws enacted to gauge their impact, and look ahead to short- and long-term changes that need to happen today to make a difference in 2016 and beyond.

Is it really possible to gauge the busiest In-N-Out drive-through lines at nearly 300 restaurants in five states?
That's what the ever-resourceful folks at Foodbeast, a local blog with a large regional audience, set out to do, with the help of Google Maps. On Jan. 29 the site put up a post showing what blogger Peter Pham said were the eight busiest In-N-Out drive-through lanes using Google's satellite images.
Some of the restaurants appeared to be quite busy indeed. Images show S-shape lines of cars snaking around parking lots, including a restaurant in Irvine on Campus. A line at a restaurant in Redondo Beach appeared to have as many as 19 cars. The post has since been shared 1,600 times on Facebook.
But how reliable is this methodology, given how outdated Google Maps images can be? (As we all know from Google-mapping our house or business.) We asked Irvine-based In-N-Out for its take on the exercise. A company official said it is hard to know how accurate the blog report is since it is unclear what time the images were taken:
"Regarding the longest lines according to Google Maps, the pictures of cars in line at our restaurants look like they are primarily a function of what time the satellite flew over and nothing more. If the satellite photographed one of our locations at noon, they'd no doubt show a longer line than a location where the photo was taken at 10:45 a.m.," the company said.

Scott Gladstone, president of Anna's Linens, a Costa Mesa-based discount retailer of home goods and textiles, is now also the company's chief executive. He's taking over for his father, Alan Gladstone, who started the business in 1987. Alan Gladstone continues to serve as chairman of the board.

Ayres Hotels of Southern California held a grand opening earlier this month for its ninth Orange County location, at 17550 Brookhurst Street in Fountain Valley. A feng shui expert was hired to ensure the space "promotes excellent chi," and the 127-suite hotel includes an Asian fusion restaurant named Fusion Bites.
Universal Protection Service, a Santa Ana-based security company, has acquired Kiamalu Consulting & Investigations Agency LLC, a private investigation firm based in Honolulu. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Richard Cohen Landscape & Construction Inc. in Lake Forest won a best-of-show award from the California Landscape Contractors Association, a statewide trade group of landscape contractors and suppliers. Two landscape professionals inspected more than 120 entries for the organization's Trophy Awards, judging them on artistic and technical merit. Richard Cohen won the top prize, the Stuart J. Sperber Memorial Sweepstakes award, for work done on the Asner home in the Crystal Cove community in Newport Beach.
The award was one of 10 taken home by members of the Orange County chapter of the association. Marina Landscape Inc. in Anaheim won seven honors, including the John Redmond Memorial award, which recognizes the best entry from nine maintenance categories. The trophy was given to Marina for its maintenance of the Anaheim Resort area near Disneyland.

MIMBAW Crew Profile
Captain William was born into a family of naval tradition and was taken to sea before he could see over the steering wheel. This early introduction to sailing meant a brilliant career was on the horizon. Kite-boarding, diving, kayaking, windsurfing, surfing are just a few of the activities Captain William enjoys showing his guests. A sailing trip solo around the Atlantic in a rather small boat is a testament to his adventurous spirit. His love of the sea is infectious and your guests will enjoy catching his relaxed island vibe.
He loves to share his knowledge of the lesser known anchorages, private coves, and secluded beaches and will take you to visit and explore all the unique locations the Caribbean has to offer. As a PADI Divemaster he delights in leading explorations into the tranquil underwater world which exists in abundance at the diving sites, wrecks and stunning reefs of the Caribbean.
Creative and fun-loving by nature Chef Kim cooks with colour and flair. Her culinary offerings are only limited by her imagination, which is vast. She delights in preparing specialized culinary delights that transcend cultural boundaries. Naturally at ease with people, Chef Kim has managed high-end private and corporate events in cosmopolitan London from both front-of-house and the kitchen. Sharing her culinary expertise for private charter guests is her true passion. Not one to be type-cast, however, Kim can be relied upon to assume command of the dinghy for wake-boarding, and is always on-hand to capture all your guests special vacation moments on film.
Easy going and thoughtful, Captain William and Chef Kim encourage every guest to make full use of all Mimbaw has to offer. From the many toys onboard, to island-style cocktails, entertaining, or sunbathing on the trampoline the crew of Mimbaw will help you soak-up and enjoy all aspects of paradise.

MIMBAW Testimonials
We travelled on May 3-10, 2014 with our two college age kids on the Catamaran Mimbaw. Capitan Bastiaan and Chef Jenny were the perfect crew for our family vacation…..Very professional and knowledgeable.
The boat was fabulous, very clean and organized! It had all the toys needed for fun everyday! Paddle boards, snorkels and masks, fishing and scuba gear. Our kids wanted to learn how to scuba and Bastiaan was a perfect teacher!
The rooms/bathrooms were perfect in size and very clean. Every room had several fans that worked great to pull in the summer breeze off the water. No A/C needed.
We did as much or as little as you wanted too. Naps every afternoon on the trampoline were wonderful.
The food was delicious! Chef Jenny cooked amazing meals and snacks. Beautiful tables were set for every meal. And yummy drinks were served for happy hour every evening to watch the sunset!
We couldn't pick a favorite spot. All the places we stopped were unique and fun! But the kids would say learning how to scuba was a highlight to the trip!
We had a wonderful and unforgettable time with Bastiaan and Jenny and will definitely do again. We would recommend to anyone!

overall, food good and presented nicely. marie, the cook, who is lovely and wonderful, was sea sick for 3-4 days which likely hindered her effectiveness. two meals were overcooked and inedible. captain bastiaan is skilled, energetic, thoroughly knowledgeable with his boat and the bvi, and instills confidence that he can get through any situation. additionally, captain bastiaan wants to please, is extremely personable, naturally entertaining, very bright, worldly, logical, and fun to talk with on a vast array of subjects. i might suggest that virgin island sailing call the client just prior to leaving home on the trip with up to date information as to where and how to meet up with the boat. the bvi is a special place to visit especially sailing. highly recommended! good job!

1. Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
The Best! It was the very best out of the 7 sailing trips we have taken.
2. Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Better then a 5 Star hotel!
3. Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes, enjoyed every minute.
4. Was the food good and well presented?
Is excellent good? The food was off the charts.
5. Did you like the area you sailed?
We picked where we wanted to go and away we went. They showed us the islands like never before.
6. Could we have helped you further in any way?
From start to finished your team was excellent. Wonderful service and love it when a plan comes together.
7. May we post this review on our website?
8. Additional comments on your charter?
Bastiaan and Richard were amazing! We couldn't have been served any better. We caught a Wahoo on the second day and Bastiaan is a Chef for Chefs. What a special treat and who knew how many ways we could eat it. Catamarn Mimbaw can really throw a party! So much fun and excitement. Thanks to Bastiaan and Richard for a job well done. And Ellen thank you for helping us put it all together. Best Vacation Ever, Chuck and the Asheville crew
Mimbaw May 12...
We loved our vacation, we think it was the best vacation ever.
Captain Bastiaan and Jenny were both awesome! Bastiaan seemed very knowledgeable about the area and sailing in general. They were both extremely friendly and attentive. I have only glowing positive reports on both. Bastiaan was fun, engaging, intuitive, knowledgeable, interesting and full of life. Jenny was courteous, helpful also interesting, a great cook ,knowledgeable and friendly.
The meals were great! Breakfast was served with cereal, yogurt, fruit, then came the eggs, bacon. We were also served pancakes and locks with bagels...Dinner was great every night, they paid attention to our preferences.
Mimbaw was very clean, the cockpit was comfortable and always had enough shade. They made sure of it with a cover over the trampoline.
We enjoyed Bastiaan's stories and enthusiasm, Jenny's food and cooking mined in with a sweet personality.
We found our time very relaxing.
The diving was a lot of fun, the only thing that could of made it better would be if the medical forms were emailed to us earlier, before we arrived on the boat. Bastiaan did a great job while we were in the water.
We would charter this yacht and crew again anywhere in the world!!!
We had an absolutely splendid time. I do not know when my mother was more relaxed. My girlfriend, Judy, even though she had some sea sickness still had a great time. It truly was a pleasure getting to know Bastiaan and Jenny, two very inspiring people. Again, honestly it was the best vacation of my life, so far!

Name of Yacht: Mimbaw Sailing Area: BVI Your Name (optional):
I would recommend this yacht for:
Romantic Getaway Families Party Week Couples Retreat
Honestly, I feel that Bastiaan is very professional and is an amazing host. He will take you out all night long if you wanted or he will set up a romantic private dinner on the beach for you. He will cater to whatever type of vacation you want. It sounded like they do a bit of everything and they are so relaxed and laid back that they can cater.
Were the sailing area and conditions suitable for this yacht?
Perfect - we were first timers and I would stress to Late Sail to encourage people to hit the BVIs over other islands for their first time. I am usually pretty extreme about my travel spots and I like to go to spots less traveled. I did not want to do the BVIs and wanted to something else like Antigua but honestly the BVIs were perfect. There were no long sails which was great because one person ended up having a little sea sickness. Honestly, longer sails at some of the other islands would've
been too much for everyone. We stopped at 14 different places and it was great to be able to jump around to a lot of little islands, bars, and snorkel spots.
Was this yacht a good fit for you and your crew?
Bastiaan is AMAZING. His stories and life is so interesting and we really got a long. He seemed like he was born to do sailing and yacht charters. We are an internationally minded group so we just loved Bastiaan and his background. We also loved Jennie's Aussie spirit. They were just a PERFECT fit for us.
What did you like best about your charter?
Hands down - the crew. Bastiaan was so funny, warm, and welcoming - such an interesting character with an interesting history. He was so laid back about his boat, his toys, and we really felt like home. Jennie was also fantastic. They were great hosts and had fun friends. Their other friends worked super yachts and took us on some amazing boat tours. Now we want to go yachting - ha!
The food and drink and service was fantastic. Honestly we were a bit nervous since we are all foodies and cocktail fans from New York. We forgot our cocktail set and Bastiaan had everything we needed! It was impressive. Jennie cooked fabulous meals too.
What did you like least about your charter?
Honestly - there was nothing that I liked least - maybe the occasional cloudy weather, the harsh reality of grey New York post charter, etc.
Would you charter this yacht again and/or recommend it to others?
I would definitely charter this yacht again for Bastiaan, Jennie, and all their amazing toys. It was so fun and we have joked about doing my bachelorette party on the boat.

The superficiality of much of the news provided by the corporate media is not only insulting, it is a conditioning mechanism. Latest figures out of the US (probably about the same in Canada) show the large corporate media outlets have lost 50 percent of their market share in 2013.

I realized that I wanted to watch 'The Corporation' again, and you can as well. There also may be other videos that you would like to see. Clip on the 'Video" tab at top of the page for a growing seection of, worth your time moves, documentaries and videos.

Can anyone out there follow the disjointed logic of the Harperite's regarding marijuana? Their attempt to slam Trudeau's plan to legalize pot for recreational purposes has backfired.

Here is Rafe Mair's attempt, plus video and some independent analysis from straight talking experts in the LNG field.

Brilliant Paynter gives Baffert record sixth Grade 1 Haskell
Sunday, July 29, 2012
Paynter gives Baffert his sixth Haskell I. win
Zayat Stables' Paynter ran by Gemologist with three furlongs to go en-route to a dominating 3 3/4-length victory in the $1 million Haskell Invitational Sunday at Monmouth Park. The victory marked the sixth time, and third in a row, that Bob Baffert has visited the Monmouth winner's circle with a Haskell winner, both records for the historical race.
Coming off a close second in the June 9 Belmont S. (G1), Paynter was sent off the even money favorite in the Haskell's six horse field. Rafael Bejarano, who was aboard the bay colt for the first time, sat just off the pace set by Gemologist for the first six furlongs. Bejarano gave his mount a nudge midway around the far turn, and Paynter responded with zeal, clearing off easily to finish the mile and an eighth in 1:48.87. He earned a 108 Beyer Speed Figure, a career best and one of the highest numbers of any sophomore in 2012.
"Jimmy (assistant trainer Barnes, who saddled Paynter while Baffert was in California) and I have always been high on him," Baffert said of Paynter. "It was nice to finally get a big win for Zayat (Stables) and with Rafael Bejarano."
When asked what it was like to win a sixth Haskell, the trainer said, "When you win, they always feel like the first one. They're all exciting and they never get old."
"I knew I could come from off the pace if I wanted to," Bejarano said. "I pulled him to the outside and that was that. He ran so easy.
"I knew Gemologist was the horse to beat, but if he wanted to go to the lead, that was fine. At the half-mile pole, my horse blew by him and that was that."
Paynter, who won the first stakes race of his six-race career, earned $600,000 for his Haskell victory, bringing his career total to $952,224 on a record of three wins and two seconds in six starts.
Barnes said that Paynter would ship back to southern California on Tuesday, then return to the East Coast and run in the $1 million Travers (G1) at Saratoga on Aug. 25.
Baffert's previous Haskell winners were Point Given (2001), War Emblem (2002), Roman Ruler (2005), Lookin at Lucky (2010), and Coil (2011).
