Also at the WWE live event in Philadelphia on Sunday night, WWE Hall Of Famer Bob Backlund was in attendance. Backlund was spotted signing autographs and taking pictures with fans, all-the-while staying in character, during the intermission portion of the show.
For a complete report from the WWE live event in Philly from Sunday night, continue reading below .....
lmmackey55 sent this one in: Hey, thought I'd mention I went to the Philly house show last night (10/13) where Harper and Rowan had a match against the Prime Time Players. Wyatt was there but he sat in his chair on the stage, never came down, and when the match was over he had quite a visible limp as he walked backstage.
Also, Frank posted the following recap from this morning:
scatherm sent this one in: Hello. I am a huge, long-time fan of your site. I have never posted before but here is a recap of the WWE Live event in Philadelphia I attended.
General Information:
The area was about half way full with the upper level empty. I have attended several WWE, WCW, and ECW events in Philadelphia and the typical "hot" Philadelphia crowd wasn't present. I was sitting on the floor and it was filled with a lot of young children and their parents. The crowd was into the action, but was very tame in comparison to other Philadelphia crowds, probably because the event wasn't televised.
Bob Backlund was posing for autographs and pictures near the concession stands. The guy couldn't have been nicer. He never took a break, took time to speak with every one, and even let fans who didn't pay for pictures pose with him with their camera phone. (which the event planners didn't like at all!) Backlund was awesome and seemed to really enjoy interacting with his fans. Many cross face chicken wings were applied.
R Truth and Tons of Funk vs. 3MB
The crowd was hot for R-Truth, who did a great job of getting the crowd warmed up. Decent heat for Slater. R Truth and Tons of Funk won Truth pinned Slater.
Damian Sandow vs. Tyson Kidd
Probably my favorite match of the evening. Great wrestling put on by both men, with some great spots from Kidd. He really deserves some more TV time. Both seemed to have excellent chemistry together. Sandow was way over and was cheered by many. Sandow took the victory by pin.
Naomi and Natalya vs. Brie Bella and Eva Marie Eva Marie is smoking hot in person. Too bad she can't wrestle. She missed a spot where she was supposed to break up a pin and got a couple "You can't wrestle" chants. It was originally supposed to be a dance off, but Brie Bella and Eva Marie attacked Naomi and Natalya while they were doing their routine (thank god) Not much to say here. Typical Diva's match. Brie tapped out to the sharpshooter.
Alberto Del Rio vs. the Great Khali
A typical Khali match with a lot of throws, stomps, and chops. Del Rio spent the majority of the match working Khali's leg, which Khali did not sell at all. Del Rio appeared to be frustrated with him, but could have been him just trying to get heat. Khali took the the win by DQ when Del Rio hit him with a chair. After the match, Khali knocked out Del Rio and Sandow came out ad teased a MITB cash in. Khali then knocked out Sandow and he left without cashing in.
Big E vs. Zach Ryder
Big E dominated most of the match and it looked like a squash until Ryder won with a roll up out of nowhere. Everyone in the arena was legitimately surprised and it was nice to see Ryder get an unexpected win.
Luke Harper and Eric Rowan vs. Prime Time Players Bray Wyatt was out with Harper and Rowan. He sat at the top of the ramp the entire match and did not come to ring side. I don't know what his injury was, but a few people remarked it looked like he was limping. This was a decent match with good back and forth between the two teams. Rowan showed off a decent move set with some good selling on the part of Darren Young. The Wyatts got the win when Rowan hit...

QB Ryan Nassib the best pick of 2013 Draft?Posted by on April 30, 2013 – 9:00 am
When Ryan Nassib was still available after 109 picks in this year's draft, Jerry Reese and the Giants traded up for the Syracuse quarterback and took him with the 110th overall selection. After the draft, Reese, the Giants' general manager, said the value was too high to pass up, and Bill Polian agreed.
The former six-time NFL Executive of the Year and current ESPN analyst placed the decision to draft Nassib at the top of his list of best moves from the weekend. Here's his analysis:
As I mentioned before the draft, there were no quarterbacks that I believed warranted an early selection. But that doesn't mean the position is devoid of talent. Just that these prospects need time to develop and make use of some of their tools and ability. With Nassib, he's going to get precisely that.
Playing behind Eli Manning, there will be no rush in his development. He can sit back, watch and learn, all while providing the Giants with a terrific safety net in the event of an injury to Eli and perhaps even proving to be Manning's successor.
By Nassib's third year in the pros, Manning will be 35, an age at which statistics have shown QBs usually start to break down physically. Their skills may not have diminished, but the accumulation of the punishment they've endured starts to take its toll and injury becomes far more common. By the time that starts to impact Eli, Nassib should be experienced to the point where the Giants will feel comfortable inserting him into a game and still feeling they have better than a 50-percent chance to win.
It may have seemed like a strange pick because quarterback isn't an immediate need for the Giants. But this pick was made with the long view in mind. And I think it was a very savvy selection.

Brutus two, eh? We thought the original Brutus electric cruiser was a beautiful beast and fully expected the lithium-powered follow-up to be decidedly better than the lead-acid battery beta. We didn't, however, expect this. With acceleration that will surprise you like a backstab, this new build puts the bike squarely in the sports cruiser category and transforms its look from custom classic to contemporary killer.
While much of the bike has stayed they same – the exposed truss frame, the nouveau-retro fenders, the DC motor paired to a 5-speed transmission – there are a number of electrical, mechanical and cosmetic changes. Click through the gallery and your eye is quickly drawn to the chrome louvered primary chain-set cover on the port side where previously a belt setup had been employed. More subtle, but more intriguing, is the glass tube on the starboard that harbors the Hairball interface for the liquid-cooled Zilla controller. The front end also gets a new bit of sexy as the once-naked head lamp is now adorned with a bikini fairing.
Then there's the performance. Brutal. Chris Bell, the man behind the machine, hasn't fully turned up the wick in the limited testing he's performed so far, but he easily pulled down a 4.7-second 0-60 time. Considering this beast weighs well over 500 pounds, that's impressive. And, we only expect that quickness to increase as the prototype moves closer to production, losing weight and gaining power along the way. Top speed hasn't yet been reached, but Bell is confident it will easily ring past 100 miles per hour, having already come within a cat's whisker of that mark. While the all-important range figure is predicted to be 100 miles, the proof of that pudding also remains untasted.
Equally important as the going is the stopping and Brutus 2.0 is no slouch in this area either. The twin rotors up front each sport a 6-piston caliper, while the rear ring wears a pair of clamps that are individually controlled – one by a handlebar-mounted lever and the other by the traditional foot pedal. Feathering the rear lever into the turns is said to approximate the engine-braking feel that some might miss from their internal combustion rides.
On the commercialization front, there are a couple deals in the offing that could see Brutus in production with 50-state homologation by the end of the year. As we alluded to earlier, the bike is still a work-in-progress and so the machine that emerges from the development process will be simultaneously more refined and beastlier. We can't wait.
Hit the jump for a pair of videos. One giving a quick taste of the electric sports cruiser's sound, the other offering a few glimpses of the machine in motion.

A Bluffton man was sentenced to six years in prison and four years on probation for sexually abusing a young boy who lived in the home where the man resided.
Trey A. Mettler, 20, admitted in May to one charge of molesting and one charge of sexual misconduct with a minor. Allen County prosecutors originally filed 10 charges against him – five counts of child molesting and five counts of sexual misconduct with a minor.
Under the terms of a plea agreement, Mettler was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but four years of the sentence were suspended.
His victim was 13 when the molesting began, court documents said.
In an interview with police, Mettler admitted molesting the boy because he was an easy and willing victim.

The Emmy contender expresses regrets for one notorious scene on the Fox sitcom
Max Greenfield loves his gig as Schmidt on "New Girl" — but acknowledged to Conan O'Brien the show may have gone too far with the kitten nipple-licking scene.
"Now, here's how our jobs are different," O'Brien said. "On my show they do everything they can to get me to keep my shirt on. On your show, it seems that the creators are constantly trying to think of scenarios where they get your shirt off."
Also read: This 'Sin City' Eva Green Poster Has Too Much Nipple for the MPAA (Photo)
"For example, they came up with a scene where you're just being — your chest is being licked by kittens," he observed. "How do they justify that?"
Also read: Max Greenfield Almost Quit Acting to Become Writer Before 'New Girl'
"I don't know that they did, to be quite honest with you," Greenfield said. "I asked, and I said, you know, oddly enough this doesn't drive the story at all. Why are we doing this? They go well, we think it's going to be funny. I go you know what? Great. I kind of had some pride in myself. The first couple of seasons I was, like, hey, man, I'll do whatever you guys ask. Love this job. Grateful."

Greenfield then said his father had some serious reservations about the kitten scene.
"He watched me getting my nipples licked by a kitten, and he called me and he goes, yeah, that wasn't funny," he lamented. "And I go, you know, that's a regret. That's a regret I'll have in my life."

My Crazy College Life in Chongqing
i was prepared for this before i headed back to cq when i was in harbin already. But it's still worse than i thought.Since the new semester began,the shitty uni threatened us:some ppl didnt graduate cos they copied in Test for English Majors Brand 8 or the calligraphy test. Speaking about the calligraphy test,it's really outrageous: southwest uni is in the top 6 normal universities in China (ranked No.3 actually) with the strictest rules and yet with the most tests and the least apropriate class schedules.ewww As we all know, we wil be facing job pressure in our senior year,but this shitty uni should put more classes this year than my junior year. They and set up a mandarin test and pen,chalk and writing brush calligraphy tests,claiming if we fail any of these,we wont get the teachers' certificate. All the other normal universities just gave that certificate directly,wtf.So right now, I have to attend the numerous classes,listenting to my professors bullshitting(always wanna scream:"tell me something idk").practice callfgraphy and tolerate the mosquito bites and roach or super spiders' attack.What a college life...
Not a bad essay. Your vocabulary mastering is great and your sentence structure is pretty good. I would say pay attention to punctuation and spacing between words. Also make your sentences shorter and avoid combining two ideas in one sentence. I hope that helps :)

John Macdonald was the star of the show at Vernon Downs on Saturday (October 25) evening, winning four of 13 races on the harness racing card--three of them with his own trainees. He kicked off his driving grand slam in the featured second race, a $6,500 upper-level conditioned pace. Dragon Fever ($7.60), a four-year-old Dragon Again gelding from the MacDonald stable, sprinted to the front from race's outset, set sensible fractions of :27.3 and :56.3, turning aside a bid from the pocket-sitting Barbarian (Fern Paquet, Jr.) on the far turn before kicking clear to a 2-1/2 length victory in 1:53.1. In the fourth race, a $3,000 second-level conditioned pace, MacDonald pounced from the pocket in mid-stretch with Firethorn ($6.10), beating the pacesetting Donna's Scape in a 1:52.3 mile. MacKenzie's Bliss ($16.20) gave MacDonald a training and driving hat trick in the eighth race, also kicking to the fore to take the $5,100 fifth-level conditioned pace in 1:53.1. In the ninth race, a $4,000-$5,000 claiming handicap trot, MacDonald teamed up with the Arnold Marks-trained Windsun Galliano ($9.60), working clear through a :28.1 first quarter before rating a more conservative tempo on the backstretch. After dismissing a first-over challenge from Funny Photo (Lems), Windsun Galliano drew clear in the stretch for a 1:57.1 triumph, ending up five lengths in front at the line when the pocket-sitting Nineanddivine (Claude Huckabone, III) broke stride in deep stretch. Only three nights of racing remain in the 2014 season at Vernon Downs. Closing week kicks off on Thursday (October 30) with a 10-race program, due to start at 6:45 p.m. EDT. by James Witherite
WASHINGTON, PA, Sept. 26, 2014 -- Although he was pressed in the stretch, Yankee Bounty extended his harness racing career unbeaten streak to eight by capturing a division of Friday's $91,998 Keystone Classic at The Meadows. Mike Simons and trainer John Butenschoen teamed to take the other two splits, with Dragon Eddy and Tomy Terror, in the event for 2-year-old colt and gelding pacers. Yankee Bounty quarter-poled to the lead for Eric Ledford, who stepped up when transportation problems prevented regular driver Yannick Gingras from reaching The Meadows. The pocket-sitting Chaching Hanover, who had only a maiden victory to his credit, kept close to his undefeated rival until Yankee Bounty drew off late under mild urging to triumph by 3-1/4 lengths in 1:51.2. Wild Again was third. Yankee Bounty won his two most recent starts, including the Pennsylvania Sires Stake championship, by a nose and a neck, narrow escapes that may lead some to consider him vulnerable. Don't count Ledford among them. "He was on the right line just a touch, but there was never any doubt," Ledford said. "They haven't beaten him yet, and I don't foresee them beating him in the near future. You'll be reading a lot about him next year as a 3-year-old." Ron Burke trains the Yankee Cruiser-Bootleg Yankee gelding, who soared over $300,000 in lifetime earnings, for Yankee Bounty Partnership and Frank Chick. Yankee Bounty will dominate the headlines, as well he should, but Dragon Eddy emerged from the Keystone Classic with one laurel Yankee Bounty didn't get -- the stake record. He earned it with a front-end score in 1:51.1. UF Larry Alltheway was second, 3 lengths back, while Parklane Eagle rallied for show. "He's a real quick, real handy horse," said assistant trainer Tyler Butenschoen. "He comes off the car really well. He's been able to get in spots where he could put himself in the race. When he's got to the front, he's been able to control it. He's quick enough that he can accelerate away from them on the end." William Wiswell, Jean Goehlen, Eugene Schick and Edward Bardowski campaign Dragon Eddy, a Dragon Again-Jaska Hanover gelding who now has banked $139,512. Tomy Terror hadn't been worse than second in eight career outings, a streak that appeared in jeopardy when he was attacked inside and outside while leading through the lane. The Western Terror-Mib Hanover gelding dug in and held off Reggiano by a nose in a career-best 1:52, with McArdles Lightning third. "He's such a good-feeling horse," Tyler Butenschoen said. "He has a great attitude, and he loves his work. He can get a little lost on the lead, but he'll explode off a helmet." Wiswell, Goehlen, Schick and VIP Internet Stable own Tomy Terror, who is eligible for such late-season stakes as the Breeders Crown and the Matron. In the $18,000 Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Pace, Southern Allie made the lead first over and held off the rallying Shock It To 'Em by a head to prevail in 1:51. Camcruiser Hanover completed the ticket. Randy Bendis conditions the 7-year-old Allie's Western-Pershing Angela gelding, who extended his career bankroll to $747,754, and owns with Tom Pollack, Jack Piatt II and R. Lewis Hauber. Dave Palone drove five winners and Simons three on the 16-race card. Live racing at The Meadows resumes Monday when the card features a pair of Keystone Classics -- a $90,000 stake for three-year-old filly pacers and a $71,200 test for sophomore filly trotters. First post is 12:55 PM. by Evan Pattak, for the Meadows
WASHINGTON, PA, Sept. 23, 2014 -- Pecking for late racing room outside and inside, Cover Model finally found a seam and poured through to score in Tuesday's $88,600 Keystone Classic at The Meadows. Alexa Said took the other harness racing division of the stake for 2-year-old filly pacers. Cover Model was sixth near the three-quarters when Dan Rawlings slipped her off the cones into the outside flow. When cover took him nowhere, Rawlings guided Cover Model back inside and hunted room, finding it between horses. The daughter of Dragon Again-Fashion Sureal rolled home to triumph in 1:53.4, 2-1/4 lengths better than Special Package. Momas Got A Gun, a full sister to Little Brown Jug winner Limelight Beach, was third. "I came out because I thought the outside flow was good, but it wasn't going anywhere," Rawlings said. "I basically took a shot (inside), and a seam opened up. I wasn't planning on being buried like I was, but everything worked out." Douglas Lewis trains Cover Model for Frederick W. Hertrich III and CTC stable. Alexa Said roared three wide through the lane to prevail for Eric Ledford in a career-best 1:55.3. Pennsylvania Stallion Series champion Half Past Seven was second by a length while early leader Mistup Magic earned show. It was the first stakes victory for Alexa Said although Tye Loy, who conditions the daughter of Well Said-Niki Blue Chip and owns with Michael Lowe, said she easily could have several more. "She's had bad luck and bad trips," said Loy of his $18,000 yearling acquisition. "When you warm her up, you wouldn't think she could go in 2:30 the way she's lollygagging around. When she hits the gate, it's all business; she puts her game face on." In the $18,000 Filly & Mare Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Trot, Cowgirl Hall thwarted the challenge of Better Caviar and downed him by a length in 1:53.2. Major Athens saved show. Dave Palone drove for trainer Ron Burke and owners Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, Jack Piatt III and Michael Rosenthal. The 5-year-old daughter of Cash Hall-Centerfold hall extended her career bankroll to $598,903. On Wednesday the Meadows Racetrack & Casino will offer a $5,000-guaranteed pool for its Pick 5 wager as part of the United States Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Initiative. The Meadows added the "instant" guarantee after Tuesday's Pick 5 was uncovered, resulting in a carryover of $1,239.74. Minimum wager for the Pick 5 (Races 12-16) is 50 cents. Since Pennsylvania law requires a minimum per-race wager of $2, a player wagering at the 50-cent level must bet at least four tickets. First post for Wednesday's program, which features a $117,200 Keystone Classic for 2-year-old colt and gelding trotters, is 12:55 PM. by Evan Pattak, for the Meadows

WASHINGTON, PA, Sept. 8, 2014 -- Day Lily generously rewarded her backers Monday at The Meadows, capturing the $40,000 Pennsylvania Stallion Series championship for 2-year-old filly trotters at a lusty 32-1. The Meadows also hosted the three other PA Stallion Series $40,000 championships for freshmen, which were taken by UF Larry Alltheway (colt and gelding pacers), KY Lucky (colt and gelding trotters) and Half Past Seven (filly trotters). A quartet of $40,000 PA Stallion Series finals for 3-year-olds highlights Tuesday's program at The Meadows. Day Lily finished off the board in her final two stallion series preliminary legs, when she left for early position but lacked a finishing kick, and it appeared she would follow the same script in the championship. But when Mike Wilder squeezed her off the cones at the top of the stretch, she responded with fire and scored in a career-best 1:57.2, 1-1/4 lengths better than the favorite, Fly Angel Fly. Alpha Alpha rallied for show. "I didn't get shuffled too bad, but I got kind of stopped," Wilder said. "I really got lucky to squeeze out, but when I did, she was full of trot. She was sick her last two starts, but her trainer said she was over that and just put her in position. When I got out, she fired." Chris Oakes trains the daughter of Andover Hall-Filly At Bigs for Hauser Brothers Racing and Conrad Zurich. In the other finals: $40,000 Championship, Colt & Gelding Pacers UF Larry Alltheway won his Third Straight race by quarter-poling to the front for Dave Palone and prevailing in a swift 1:51.4. Hall Of Terror was second, 3-3/4 lengths back, while My Hero Ron earned show. The Dragon Again-Varbo gelding, a $50,000 yearling acquisition, continues to be a pleasant surprise for trainer Kelly O'Donnell and owner Up Front Racing, as he showed little early promise. "Training him down, he was probably the worst one I had all winter," O'Donnell said. "He'd pull up, wouldn't want to go. Once we got him behind the gate a couple times and baby-raced him, he's been a totally different colt He throws last quarters in 27 like nothing. You wouldn't have expected it training him down." He said UF Larry Alltheway will be pointed to the Standardbred at Delaware and the Keystone Classic at The Meadows. $40,000 Championship, Colt & Gelding Trotters When the leader, Longcat Hanover, broke stride in the stretch, KY Lucky took advantage of the opportunity, driving through the Lightning Lane to triumph in 1:59, 1/2 length ahead of Wimborne Hanover, with Explosiveday third. "I was pretty impressed because we got slowed almost to a stop before we got to the Lightning Lane," said winning driver Marcus Miller. "He actually came back and trotted home pretty good. I thought we were second, but we got a little lucky." Tim Twaddle trains KY Lucky, a Malabar Millennium-Rosalita gelding who has finished in the money in all six career starts, for Craig Grummel, Curt Grummel and Chili Day Stables. $40,000 Championship, Filly Pacers Half Past Seven moved first over, gobbled up the leader, Angel Or Terror, and rolled to a comfortable victory in 1:54.1 for Tony Hall, trainer Mike Palone and owner Lone Wolf Stable. Icapella Hanover finished second, 2-1/2 lengths in arrears, while Angel Or Terror completed the ticket. "She's really had to race pretty aggressive," Hall said of the daughter of Western Terror-She's Eligible. "With a trip, she'll definitely get better and go some big miles here next year. The stallion series is a good fit for her." Elsewhere on Monday's card, Continual Velocity matched the track record of 1:50.2 for older mares when she cruised on the front end in the $18,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Pace. Novascotia Hanover was second, 1-3/4 lengths back, with Scandalous Hanover third. Dave Palone piloted the 6-year-old daughter of Real Artist-Extreme Velocity, who now boasts $497,025 in career earnings, for trainer Ron Burke and owners Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC. Palone drove five winners and Dan Rawlings three on the 16-race card. Tuesday's (Sept. 9) card at The Meadows Racetrack & Casino will feature two guaranteed pools: a $7,500-guaranteed pool for the Pick 5 and a $5,000-guaranteed pool for the Pick 4. Both are part of the United States Trotting Association's Strategic Wagering Initiative. While the Pick 4 guarantee is a regular feature of Monday and Tuesday programs, the track added the "instant" Pick 5 guarantee when no one correctly picked Monday's Pick 5, resulting in a carryover of $1,830.96. Minimum wager for the Pick 4 (Races 4-7) and Pick 5 (Races 12-16) is 50 cents. Since Pennsylvania law requires a minimum per-race wager of $2, a player wagering at the 50-cent level must bet at least four tickets. Tuesday's card also features a quartet of $40,000 Pennsylvania Stallion Series championships for 3-year-olds. First post Tuesday is 12:55 PM. by Evan Pattak, for the Meadows
CAMPBELLVILLE, September 5 - Hot off the heels of a successful Canadian Pacing Derby night, Mohawk Racetrack will play host to another stakes filled card tomorrow night. Grand Circuit week will wrap up with the Simcoe Stakes for three-year-old pacers and the Champlain Stakes for the two-year-old pacers of both sexes. Lyons Levi Lewis (PP4), the runner-up in last Saturday's $667,000 Metro Pace, headlines the first $123,120 Champlain Stakes division for two-year-old pacers. Trained by Ron Burke, Lyons Levi Lewis finished 3 ½ lengths behind Artspeak in the Metro, but paced his final quarter in a solid :26.3. A son of Well Said - Tongue In Cheek, Lyons Levi Lewis has one win in seven starts, but has finished second on four of those occasions. Owned by Geoffrey Lyons Mound, Lyons Levi Lewis will team up with driver Sylvain Filion for the first time tomorrow night and is listed as the 5/2 morning line favourite. Also in the field of eight is Freedomformysoul (PP2) for trainer Nancy Johansson and driver Marcus Johansson. A son of If I Can Dream - Hello Grin, Freedomformysoul has shown a lot of promise with two victories in the New York Sires Stakes, but has not been able to find consistency in his performances. "He is wicked fast that one, but he is kind of green," said Marcus Johansson, "You don't know what side he wakes up on, but if he wake up on the right side he can go as fast as any horse I've ever sat behind." Freedomformysoul sold for $12,000 at last fall's Lexington Selected Yearling Sale and has earned more than $35,000 in six career starts. In the second $123,120 division, another Ron Burke trainee is the 5/2 morning line choice. Lyons Again (PP1) races for the same connections as Lyons Levi Lewis and just like his stablemate took home a big chunk of the Metro Pace purse when he finished third in last Saturday's final. A son of Dragon Again - A Filly To Fear, Lyons Again has yet to win in six career starts, but has finished second three times, along with two third place finishes. A consistent performer, Lyons Again has the highest earnings ($130,821) in the field of nine despite having never won a race. Starting beside Lyons Again is Nassagaweya Stakes division winner Traceur Hanover (PP2). Trained by Normand Bardier Jr, Traceur Hanover finished fourth in the Metro Pace final and has won three times in six career starts. Randy Waples will drive the son of Western Ideal. Two divisions of the Simcoe Stakes will also take place for the three-year-old pacers. The first $106,038 division will feature a small, but talented group of six lining up behind the gate. Western Vintage (PP1) has been installed as the 7/5 morning line favourite for trainer Nancy Johansson and driver Marcus Johansson. After a successful two-year-old campaign, Western Vintage's three-year-old season hasn't gone exactly as planned with only one win in seven starts, but he is coming off a good second place effort in last week's three-year-old open. Marcus Johansson noted the son of Western Ideal had a bit of a health issue earlier in the season that was holding him back. "We had a little trouble with his blood in the beginning of the year," said Johansson. "But he seems like he is getting better now and hopefully he can put a good effort in." Western Vintage was just a $7,000 yearling purchase and has earned more than $412,000 in his career. Also in the field of six is the Tony Alagna trainee, Dancin Hill (PP4). Dancin Hill won two starts back in a conditioned event at Mohawk and last week finished third in the three-year-old open. The son of Rocknroll Hanover has picked up a cheque in all eleven starts this season and will once again team up with driver Scott Zeron. Starting from post six in the opening division is On Golden Ponder for trainer Bob McIntosh and driver Randy Waples. On Golden Ponder most recently won the $175,000 Kentucky Sires Stakes final last Sunday night at The Red Mile. Rounding out the field is Winds Of Change (PP2), Carracci Hanover (PP3) and Major Deagan (PP5). Seven three-year-old pacers will contest the second division for a purse of $107,538. Ontario Sires Stakes star Jet Airway (PP2) is the 7/5 morning line favourite. Before finishing fourth in last week's three-year-old open, Jet Airway had won three starts in a row, including a seven length blowout victory in an Ontario Sires Stakes Gold leg on August 4 at Grand River. Trained by Tony Alagna, regular pilot Randy Waples will be at the controls. Looking to build off his victory in last week's three-year-old open is Melmerby Beach (PP5). Last week's victory earned a new career mark for Melmerby Beach of 1:50. Melmerby Beach races for the same duo that raced his sire, Somebeachsomewhere, trainer Brent MacGrath and driver Paul Macdonell. The other five starters in the second division are Three Of Clubs (PP1), Victor Bayama (PP3), Somewhere Fancy (PP4), Play It Again Sam (PP6) and Surprise Hanover (PP7). 14 freshman pacing fillies have been split into two Champlain Stakes divisions. Despite having three starters from last week's $480,000 Shes A Great Lady Stakes final, the first $117,557 division could be the breakout party for a filly making her Grand Circuit debut. Shes A Hot Mess (PP3) broke her maiden last Friday at Mohawk in a dazzling 1:52.1. Trained by Tony Alagna, Shes A Hot Mess struggled in her first two starts, but after a few weeks off those issues appear to be put to rest as she won by seven lengths last week. Scott Zeron will sit behind the daughter of American Ideal - Sure Fun Tryin, who is the second choice on the morning line at 3-1. Shakai Hanover (PP7) is the morning line favourite at 2-1 and is coming into the Champlain off a third place finish in the Shes A Great Lady. Trained by Carl Jamieson and driven by Jody Jamieson, Shakai Hanover won a division of the Eternal Camnation Stakes at Mohawk on August 16. The daughter of Well Said - Shes A Fan has two victories in six career starts and earnings of over $139,000. The second $117,557 division appears to be a wide open affair. Sports Chic, the 5/2 morning line choice, has been having a ton of success racing on the Ontario Sires Stakes circuit. A daughter of Sportswriter - Vesta Blue Chip, Sports Chic is trained by Blake Macintosh and has won four times in six starts, while never finishing worse than second. Jody Jamieson will sit behind Sports Chic who has earned more than $139,000 in her young career. Looking to build off her victory in the Shes A Great Lady consolation is The Show Returns (PP6). A daughter of Rocknroll Hanover - Stienams Place, The Show Returns broke her maiden in a leg of the Whenuwishuponastar Series on July 24, but was never better than fourth in her next three starts. Last Saturday night, The Show Returns got back on track with a career best victory of 1:52. This week, the filly moves into the Tony O'Sullivan barn and will be driven by Scott Zeron. Originally scheduled for tomorrow night, eliminations were not needed for the Canadian Trotting Classic as the field of seven trotters will head straight to the rich final on Saturday, September 13. Post time for tomorrow night's stakes filled card is 7:25 p.m. by Mark McKelvie, for WEG

Easy Again breaks his own harness racing track record at Scioto Downs Saturday with his win in the $30,000 Invitational Pace in 1:50.1. He's a 5-year-old ridgling son of Dragon Again out of Kuklapanandollie. He set a new track record of 1:50.2 just two starts ago at the 5/8 mile oval. Easy Again scored his third consecutive win for trainer, Ron Burke and his connections of Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi, M1 Stable and Panhellenic Stable. Chris Page had the assignment from post eight in the field of nine and was the post time favorite at 4/5. Page fired out for position and found it right on the front before the quarter that was paced in :26.2. I Found My Beach and Josh Sutton were content to take the pocket trip behind the heavy favorite. They paced down to the half in :54.4 and Page hit the gas as they headed to the three quarters. Easy Again paced his third quarter in a hot :26.4 and opened up on his foes by 3-1/2 lengths. Sutton and I Found My Beach tried to close the gap, but fell a 1/2-length short and Torrington rallied for the show spot at odds of 35-1. This was Easy Again's 65th career start and his 20th trip to the winners circle. His earnings have now exceeded $650,000. Racing continues on Monday (September 1) with a special holiday post time of 1:00 p.m. Scioto Downs will have an early driver autograph session on Monday starting at 12:15 p.m. From Scioto Downs Racino
Eight $18,000 Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroots contests for two-year-old colt and gelding pacers were staged on Sunday night (August 24) at Georgian Downs, and the last of those eight splits saw a new track record of 1:52.2 turned in by Seaforth. Driven by Mike Saftic, Seaforth was up to grab the lead away from Pan Street USA (Randy Waples) after the :27.2 opening quarter. From there, Seaforth hit the half in :56 and the three-quarters in 1:23.4 before he paced a final quarter in :28.3 to seal the win and the record. Pan Street USA held second, beaten just over a length by the winner, and Rightinthekisser (Doug McNair) finished third. The clocking lowered the previous rookie gelding pace record of 1:53.1 set earlier this year by Southwind Indy, and also is better than Sportskeeper's colt record of 1:52.3 by a fifth of a second. Eric Adams trains Seaforth, a No Pan Intended gelding, for owner/breeder Millar Farms of Newmarket, Ont. This was Seaforth's second win from six starts and he has now earned $38,260. He's the first foal out of the Western Hanover mare Chocolate Truffle, a half-sister to five six-figure earners, including multi-time Grassroots winner Rare Copy (Grinfromeartoear, $158,213). Driver Paul MacDonell also enjoyed a fine trip to Georgian Downs as he racked up three Grassroots wins, including a pair for trainer Jack Darling. Darling and MacDonell connected for the first time in the sixth flight withMoonwards Hanover (1:54) and then came right back in the next dash with York Seelster (1:54). MacDonell also prevailed in the fifth division with Pair Of Deuces (1:54.1). Darling's stable of Cambridge, Ont. owns both Moonwards Hanover, a son of Sportswriter, and York Seelster, a Mach Three gelding. Darling purchased Moonwards Hanover, who broke his maiden in his fourth try and pushed his bankroll to $21,500, for $35,000 at last year's Standardbred Horse Sale. The Hanover Shoe Farms Inc.-bred is the third foal out of the Western Ideal mare Mouse Hanover, a half-sister to the likes of Mt Vernon Hanover (Rustler Hanover, $623,067), a two-time OSS winner. York Seelster, bred by Seelster Farms Inc. and sold for $55,000 at the 2013 Forest City Yearling Sale, is now one-for-five in the win column to go with earnings of $24,900. The fourth foal out of the Artsplace mare Yankee Athena, York Seelster is a half-brother to Yoselin Seelster (Shadow Play, $109,432), an OSS Gold winner last season for two-year-old pacing fillies. Richard "Nifty" Norman trains Pair Of Deuces, MacDonell's other winner, for owner/breeder Pinske Stables of Plato, Minnesota. The Badlands Hanover colt is now a two-time winner from five trips behind the gate and he has stashed away $19,500. He's the first foal out of the Pinske's Dragon Again mare Pacific Dragonette, a sister to horses like Doubleshotascotch ($683,773). In other action Jeb (Phil Hudon, 1:54.3) and Thinkofagameplan (Randy Waples, 1:54.2) both posted their second victories in Grassroots competition this season. Jeb, a colt by Camluck, is trained by James "Friday" Dean for owners Wilma and James MacKenzie of Ennismore, Ont. Jeb, who has banked $26,160 to go with his pair of wins, was bred by Seawind Amg Stbs 2005 Inc. and was taken out of the 2013 Standardbred Horse Sale for $22,000. He's the second foal out of the Western Hanover mare Keystone Treasure, a half-sister to a pair of former OSS standouts in Invitro (Camluck, $2,383,597) and Bigtime Ball (Camluck, $1,625,073). Thinkofagameplan, a Ponder colt who scored his second win from five attempts and pushed his bankroll to $27,660, is a homebred for trainer Bob McIntosh and Al McIntosh Holdings Inc. of Leamington, Ont. The winner is the second foal out of the Camluck mare Noshameinmygame. She was a Grassroots winner at both two and three. The other Grassroots winners on Sunday night were: --Midnight Play (Shadow Play), a 1:54.2 maiden-breaking winner for driver Jonathan Drury, trainer Bill Cass, and owner John Craig of North York, Ont.

YONKERS, NY, Saturday, August 23, 2014-- Even-money favorite Frankie's Dragon (Brian Sears, $4) went from first-up to first home Saturday night, winning Yonkers Raceway's $44,000 Open Handicap Pace. Assigned inside his seven rivals, Frankie's Dragon had plenty to peruse early as Dream Out Loud N (Eric Goodell), Rock On Moe (Larry Stalbaum) and Sapphire City (Dan Dube) all has designs on the lead. Dream Out Loud N won that early battle, paying :26.4 opening quarter-mile price for the privilege. Sapphire City, three-holed from post position No. 8, took a shot with a second move, but Dream Out Loud N was not in a giving mood and sent Sapphire City back from whence he came. After a 55-second intermission, Frankie's Dragon was out from fourth, methodically moving at the leader toward a 1:23 three-quarters. Russley Rascal N (George Brennan) tried it from second-over as Dream Out Loud N and Frankie's Dragon was nostril to nostril into the lane. Frankie's Dragon did eventually wear down his foe, winning by a half-length in 1:51.1. Big N Bad (Jordan Stratton) closed stoutly for third, with Russley Rascal N and Rock On Moe settling for the minor moolah. For "Frankie," a 5-year-old son of Dragon Again trained by Tony O'Sullivan for owner Joe Martinelli Sr., it was his fifth win in 25 seasonal starts. The exacta paid $21, with the triple returning $146. The Raceway's five-night-per-week live schedule continues, with first post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 PM. Evening simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with afternoon simulcasting available daily. by Frank Drucker, for Yonkers Raceway
There were three divisions of PASS races for 2-year-old colt and gelding pacers contested at Harrah's Philadelphia on Friday afternoon (August 22nd), each going for a purse of just over $80,000. In the second division, the wagering public made the undefeated Yankee Bounty (Yankee Cruiser-Bootleg Yankee) the prohibitive favorite, going off at 1/9 on the board. At the start, it was Dragon Eddy (Dragon Again-Jaska Hanover) firing away for the lead, in a quarter time of :27.2. Yankee Bounty however quickly moved towards the lead, and took charge just before the half. At three-quarters, he faced a serious challenge from Wakizashi Hanover (Dragon Again-Western Gesture). These two battled down the stretch, with Yankee Bounty having to re-rally, winning by just a nose in 1:52. He also had to survive a lengthy inquiry, as he bore in late stretch. Dragon Eddy held third. Yankee Bounty ($2.10 to win) is owned by Yankee Bounty Partnership and Frank Chick, trained by Ron Burke, and was driven by Yannick Gingras. Earlier in the day, Brian Brown trainee Lost For Words (Well Said-Thou Shalt Not) won a division of the PASS. As the wings closed, Blood Brother (Somebeachsomewhere-Blood Diamond) flew out to the lead from the furthest outside, but was cleared by post time favorite Tomy Terror, shortly after the quarter (27.3). The favorite maintained the advantage until three-quarters, when Lost For Words ($8.40 to win) made his bid. In the stretch, he overpowered the leader, going on to win by a quarter of a length, stopping the clock in 1:51.1. He is owned by Country Club Acres, W. Robinson, R. Lombardo, and the Strolling Stables, and was driven by David Miller. In the final division, it was the Lightning Stable's McArdles Lightning (McArdle-Winning Venture) living up to his favorite status ($6.20 to win). He took the lead right from the start, and after a rated second-quarter (29.3) he went on to pace gamely to the finish, winning by a head in 1:52.4. Talking Points (Well Said- Bikini Bottom) took advantage of the pocket trip to finish a narrowly beaten second, while Well Well Well (Well Said- Terrific Tara) finished third. McArdles Lightning is trained by Steve Elliot, and was driven by Andrew McCarthy. Fillies and Mares lined up for a winner's over pace in overnight action, with the favorite being pacing mare superstar Somwherovrarainbow. She was roughed up early, parked to a 26.3 opening quarter. She didn't clear the lead until the half, with the second quarter in a taxing 27.4. After three quarters in 1:22, pressure arrived in the form of Shelliscape. The trip eventually took its toll, as Somwherovrarainbow tired to finish seventh. Shelliscape went on to a two length win, stopping the timer in 1:50 flat, and paying $7.40. Drop The Ball was second, while Fast And Fiesty finished third. Shelliscape is owned by Bamond Racing, trained by P J Fraley, and was driven by Hall of Famer John Campbell. by Mike Bozich, for Harrah's Philadelphia
The winners over trot and the PA Stallion Series headlined the harness racing action at Harrah's Philadelphia Thursday as Classic Martine set a track record. Race ten was the winner's over $25,000 lifetime trot. The wagering public put their faith behind nineteen time winner Classic Martine. As the wings closed, it was the Ron Burke trainee Quick Deal firing to the top, while the favorite ducked into the pocket. They remained in that order until three quarters, when Opening Night emerged out of third, but his bid was short lived. In the stretch, Quick Deal and Classic Martine dueled, with Classic Martine narrowly winning in 1:52, a track record for 4-year-old trotting mares. Uncle Peter finished third. Classic Martine is owned by Hauser Bros. Racing, Oakes, Zurich, and Gold, trained by Chris Oakes, and was driven by Tim Tetrick. There were also four divisions of Stallion Series races for 2-year-old colt and gelding pacers, each going for a purse of $20,000. In the first division, it was Phil Peavyhouse's PV Dragon (Dragon Again-Jin Millie) living up to his favorite status. At the start, it was long shot Rock Springs (Well Said-Dolphins Can Talk) sprinting away for the lead, arriving at the quarter in :27. Shortly after, driver George Napolitano Jr. sent PV Dragon out of third, forcing the lead change just before the half. He received mild first-over pressure from May I Cruise West (Yankee Cruiser-Maewest Hanover), but kicked away in the stretch, stopping the clock in 1:53.4. Sambestmckee (McCardle-Jackie's Cammie) came charging hard up for second, while Pennyforurthoughts (Western Terror-Find A Penny) finished third. PV Dragon is trained by Amber Buter. In division two, Kevin Switzer's Letsmakeawish (Western Terror-Dynamite Donna) made it three straight with an easy victory, stopping the timer in 1:54.1. He brushed to the lead just past the quarter, which went in 27.2. He was unchallenged until three-quarters, when eventual third place finisher Redneckyachtclub (Real Artist-Fast Ruffles) attacked first-over. In the stretch, Letsmakeawish drew clear, holding off a late rally from B Well (Well Said-Ms Amanda B) who went on to finish second. Letsmakeawish is trained by Ron Burke, and was driven by Yannick Gingras. In the third division, Up Front Racing's UF Larry Alltheway (Dragon Again-Varbo) lived up to his 4/5 favorite status. Off the wings, it was This Time (Well Said-Finishing Touch) driving for the lead, with the favorite settling into fourth. The fractions were pedestrian (:28.3, :59.3) before things picked up in the back half. UF Larry Alltheway drove up first over, and was on even terms with the leader at the top of the stretch, before pulling away under Tim Tetrick taps in 1:54.3 (:55 last half) for the win. My Hero Ron (Well Said-Erma La Em) rallied for place, while This Time held show. UF Larry Alltheway is trained by Kelly O'Donnell. In the fourth and final division, Erv Miller trainee Hall Of Terror (Western Terror-Maytime Hall) upset the field for his third career win.

In the second division of the Eternal Camnation, J K Shesalady 1:52 looks the toughest to beat although her draw of seven evens things out a bit.

The most heavily represented sire in the Eternal Camnation elimanations is Art Major with four with Western Ideal next best with three.

The Wayfaring Man 1:52.2, a son of Dragon Again is trained by Nicky Comenga and will have the great Jack Moiseyev in the bike. Asap Hanover 1:52, a son of Somebeachsomewhere is trained by Linda Toscano and will have the outstanding Ti Tetrick in the bike.

The son of Ponder is trained by Bob McIntosh and will driven by the legendary John Campbell. The third division of the Nassagaweya Stakes contains the fastest horse in the three heats and likely favourite in Artspeak 1:50.4. The son of Western Ideal is another one from the barn of Tony Alagna and will be driven by Scott Zeron.

Easy MP3 Player 1.0.0
The advantages of being portable
Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn't leave any traces in the Windows Registry.
You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to play audio files on the fly, without having to go through installation steps.
Simple looks
The user interface looks quite plain and reveals information about each audio track, such as number, artist, title, length, album, track, year, genre, and file location. You may drag and drop the audio files directly into the primary panel.
There's support for some master controls designed to help you play or stop the current audio selection, go to the previous or next song, and seek for a position in the audio streams. The built-in buttons for mastering the audio playback are not very attractive.
Main features
Easy MP3 Player gives you the possibility to perform search operations for quickly identifying a song in the list, as well as look for MP3, OGG, WAV, and/or WMA files into a user-defined location, include subdirectories, and add files only if they are not in the playlist.
What's more, you may repeat the current audio selection, play songs in a random order, create and save playlists, and delete the selected song. During our testing we have noticed that Easy MP3 Player carries out a task quickly and provides very good audio quality. It leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.
The lack of configurable settings makes it an ideal tool for rookies who don't want to spend a lot of time tweaking the playing parameters. On the downside, it would have been useful to see support for volume adjustment options, equalizer, and plugins, just to name a few suggestions.
Bottom line
To sum it up, Easy MP3 Player proves to be a basic audio player that comes bundled with limited features. It needs several improvements in the GUI area to make the process more pleasant and intuitive.

Dengue Fever
An Update
Click CC to turn on closed captioning.
June 2014
2.5 billion people are at risk of contracting dengue fever. There are an estimated 50–100 million infections per year, and 500,000 hospitalizations due to severe disease. Dengue virus is a member of the flaviviridae family, and transmittable to human hosts by the mosquito species Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus. Initial infections may be mild, or even asymptomatic, but secondary infections lead to more severe disease. Dr. Hata provides an overview of dengue fever and describes viral transmission, epidemiology, and pathogenesis of the infection. She also explains laboratory testing for diagnostic markers of the illness as well as recent changes in Dengue virus epidemiology.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Authorities responding to a suicidal man who
fell from a Hoover Dam bypass bridge say an unrelated dead body was found nearby around the same time.
Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Jeremie Elliott says the body was
reported about 3:30 p.m. Thursday near U.S. Route 93, two miles
from the Nevada-Arizona border.
Elliott says law enforcement officers had been tied up trying to
talk a man out of jumping from the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman
Memorial Bridge that's 900 feet above the Colorado River.
Bureau of Reclamation spokeswoman Rose Davis tells the Las
Vegas-Review Journal the man climbed over the bridge's walkway rail
and was somehow hanging from it for about two hours until he fell
about 12:30 p.m.
The Clark County coroner's office has not yet identified the two

Technical debt is one of the major concepts SonarQube deals with. The technical debt of a file is the sum of the technical debt contributed by each issue detected on this file.
The expanded Technical Debt and Issues tab offers three different kinds of actions to understand and manage a file's technical debt:
- Time Changes, to display only issues added since a given point (see Differential Views for more information).
- Resolution / Severity / Rule filters, to display only certain issues on the currently selected period.
- Bulk Change, to make changes on the issues that are currently displayed.
To better understand how to review issues (comment, assign, link to an action plan, ... etc), please read Reviewing Issues.

To determine the relative frequency of various sonographic findings in papillary carcinoma of the thyroid.We retrospectively analyzed the sonographic features in 55 patients with proven papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. Sonographic features analyzed were echo texture, cystic change, margin, contour, presence of a peripheral halo, vascularity, and calcification pattern. Features were classified as common (> or = 35% of cases) or uncommon (< 10% of cases). Combinations of features were also analyzed.Common sonographic features of papillary carcinoma included hypoechoic texture (86%), microcalcifications (42%) or no calcifications (47%), well-defined margins (47%), and intrinsic hypervascularity (69%). Uncommon features included hyperechoic or mixed echo texture, cystic elements, irregular margins, hypovascularity, and coarse or peripheral calcifications. Of the 29 lesions that had calcifications, 20 (69%) had microcalcifications; 5 (17%) had coarse calcifications; and 1 had peripheral calcifications. In total, 54% of cases had at least 1 uncommon feature, and 11% had 2 or more uncommon features. Cystic carcinomas were rare and accounted for only 6% of lesions; all had hypervascular solid components. No carcinomas in our series were completely avascular.There is a broad spectrum of sonographic findings in papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. Half of the lesions in this series had at least 1 uncommon sonographic feature.

formula changes & gas/poop woes
Find a Conversation

Hi Everyone,
Where do I find message boards about these problems? I have a 1 month old with alot of gas & seemingly issues with pooping,...First regular & infrequent to now a harder BM - maybe starting constipation....we changed to soy formula for the past 2 weeks hoping it would help the gassiness/fussy periods and possible milk intolerance.
Not sure what it is but the crying associated with what appears to be GAS & Poop pain sometimes is rough for my baby girl...where do I find boards for this info & advice from other Moms?
Thanks sweetie

I had that problem with my oldest when we tried her on soy. she got SOOOO backed up. it was awful!!!
turns out it wasn't the formula, it was the bottles we were using. they let too much air in which gave her gas. so we switched her to dr brown bottles, back to regular formula, and added mylecon to each bottle. fixed her right up.
