Let's get to the bottom of this once and for all…
What's the best day of the week to visit Universal Orlando?
This might be the most popular question I'm asked by guests planning their vacations to Universal Orlando. On this page I will step you through all the factors to consider when deciding on the best day, and I will dispel some very common misconceptions that might make the difference between a fantastic vacation and one that you could end up regretting.
Here are, in order from most important to least important, the factors that will influence crowd levels and your ability to manage them at Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter…
Planning ahead
The single biggest factor to ensuring that you have an enjoyable, positive experience at Universal Orlando Resort is to plan ahead. Surprising as it may be, somewhere around 90 percent of guests do not plan their theme park visits beyond a rough sketch. That percentage is even higher when you consider people who have decided to come to Universal Orlando, because — misconception number 1 — so many people still believe that Universal is "no Disney World," so there's no point in planning. Well, perhaps before 2010 this may have been true, but the Wizarding World of Harry Potter has changed EVERYTHING.
Here is a quick example out of the thousands of tips on our site, and it shows how a tiny bit of planning can be a HUGE help.
On a typical moderate-to-busy day at Universal, this is what the line looks like at the ticket sales counter for Islands of Adventure:
That's an hour wait. Just to buy tickets. Just to get inside the turnstiles.
Yet, it is so easy to skip that line. All you have to do is purchase your tickets in advance. But get this — if you purchase your tickets in advance directly from Universal, you save $20 per person off the gate price on any multi-day ticket. Since the typical family gets a 2-day base ticket, good for one day at each park, that means the typical family will save $80 buying their tickets in advance and they get to skip that crazy line pictured above!
Here's a little more: Purchasing your tickets in advance doesn't mean you have to buy them weeks ahead of time. You literally can be standing in the line pictured above, call Universal's ticket line at 407-224-7840, and buy your tickets. This counts as an advance purchase, so you'll save the $20 per person and you can get out of the regular ticket line and use the electronic Will Call Kiosks to quickly print your tickets.
That's one tiny example of how you can save time and money, and have a better vacation, by doing your homework ahead of time. We've got so much more expert advice in the OI Universal Center, it's a little insane — you can see the full OI Universal Center table of contents at the bottom of this page.
The season you are visiting
The second biggest factor that will affect crowd levels and your ability to manage them is the season you are visiting. There is a reason why, on some days, Universal's theme parks are only open until 6:00pm and Express Passes are only 30 bucks, while on other days the parks are open until midnight and Express Passes are 110 bucks: theme park attendance is seasonal. Maybe this goes without saying, but it never hurts to repeat it.
Interestingly, there's a misconception that serves as a counter-point to this factor. Don't automatically assume that coming at the slowest time of the year is the best plan. In my opinion, I think it is best to visit when the crowds are moderate. Doing so will ensure that there's enough people around for there to be plenty of "excitement in the air," and Universal's unique brand of excitement is one of its incredible features. In addition, more guests usually mean longer operating hours.
All in all, the season you are planning to travel in will have a major influence on crowd levels and your ability to have a good time. You need to be aware of it and plan accordingly.
See our Universal crowd calendar or our Complete guide to Universal Express Passes more information.
Special events
On January 24 to 26, 2014, Universal hosted "A Celebration of Harry Potter," where fans enjoyed three days of unforgettable experiences – including interactive Q&As with Harry Potter talent and more. Besides the actual activities, what is note-worthy about this event is its dates: right in the middle of what would otherwise be a slow period for Orlando's theme parks.
The lesson here is that you need to account for special events. A family unaware of the Harry Potter celebration, who books their visit during the event, could be overwhelmed by two theme parks packed with Muggles on-site to celebrate. Similarly, a family unaware of the event may schedule their vacation the weekend after, only to find out their their Harry Potter-obsessed kids could have gone to the event if they scheduled their vacation the previous weekend.
Now, some events will be bigger than others, and some events may actually work to your benefit in terms of avoiding crowds. Whichever way it might end up working in your specific situation, what's important is that you are aware of special events at the parks and how those events affect crowd flow.
See our Universal events section for more information.
Getting there early and/or staying late
It doesn't matter whether it's the first day in July or the first day in February, theme parks are always busiest in the middle of the day. You can do your best to plan your visiting days as much as you want, but if arrive at the parks at 10:00am and have to leave by 3:00pm, you're going to end up feeling like the parks were really busy. Even though it sounds a bit redundant, most people are at the parks when most people are at the parks. That is why it's always best, regardless of what other factors are involved, to get there early and/or stay late.
Luckily, for guests staying on-site at Universal Orlando, you are a hop, skip, and a jump away from your hotel. So it's absolutely no problem to tour the parks from 9:00am to noon, take a break in the middle of the day to swim or nap, and then come back from 4:00pm to close.
Visit our Universal's on-site hotels section for so much resort information and over 700 full-screen photos of the properties.
Day of the week
We have finally reached the factor that many guests think is the "trick" to beating the crowds. I can't tell you how many discussions I've read where first-time visitors to Universal ask, "What day of the week is the slowest?", thinking this gold nugget of info is what they need to have a smooth day at Universal's theme parks. While there are some theories out there about which day of the week is indeed the slowest at Universal, the truth is that – after taking into consideration the factors above – the day-of-the-week factor is almost moot.
One of the more prevalent theories is as follows: "Most" Orlando visitors vacation Sunday through Saturday – for a week. And, "most" Orlando visitors are going to Disney World. So conventional wisdom tells us that these visitors will be cramming the four Disney parks Sunday through Wednesday, only to bring their hoards over to Universal's parks starting maybe on Wednesday and for sure on Thursday and Friday. The second part of the theory is that locals really like to come to Universal on Saturday. With that wisdom, the traveler can quickly deduce as follows: "If I want beat the crowds at Universal, all I have to do is come on Sunday or Monday. Perfect. That's settled, now I'll get back to planning my Disney days."
Yes, of course I'm being a little facetious with my analysis. Yet I see this type of dialogue so much more than I wish I did.
The bottom line is, if you have taken into consideration every other factor – planning ahead, the season, special events, and getting there early and/or staying late – and if you've prepared well by studying our completely free Universal Orlando vacation planning guide, well, then you are in a better position than 99.99 percent of the other guests. And that, my friend, is what will make the difference between the vacation of a lifetime and one you may regret, regardless of what day of the week you go.

Flying on stand by
Alot of free time in between flights
Good workout
Bad breathing environment
Unfair work conditions
Incompetent Managers
Coworkers that don't take their job seriously
I would say to take more recognition when someone does a good job and to pay more for mandatory stay due to weather conditions. I also feel that there should be more organization and Jetblue should enforce strict consequences when employees don't show up for your flight when it comes in and you are a short two guys pulling in a plane is extra work on everyone else that actually came to work.

Welcome to the holidays! Get out the tissue paper and the bows. While you're at it, get out the tissues and the waterproof mascara. It's the season, sweetie. Just face the fact that somebody in your family will make you cry before the month is out.
I don't care whether you're Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Shinto or a practicing atheist; if you're female and you have relatives, you'll be making weepy, baby-seal eyes at somebody's casual question while "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" plays endlessly in the background.
The remark doesn't even have to be one of those deliberately loaded ones, such as "Three months pregnant, Jeannie, or just going heavy on the gravy?" to hurt. It's enough for a random cousin to ask, "Any interesting vacation plans?" for you to hear an undercurrent that whispers "Or are you still stuck with the mound of bills, those three unplanned children and a house near the sinkhole?"
To prepare in advance for assaults both real and imagined, I asked my friends Sam and Antoinette to compile a series of replies to help the most fragile egos survive the rest of 2012 with the fewest tears — while having the most fun possible.


text: I met the most amazing guy about 3 weeks ago. We met at a bar watching the superbowl, and he turned out to be incredible. I actually noticed him sitting at the bar before we even met, and I remember thinking, "He looks like such a nice guy. Why can't I meet a guy like that?" Well, I did meet him, and we've been pretty inseparable for the last few weeks. So much so that I can't believe it's only been a few weeks. Feels like I've known him much much longer than that. He treats me like gold. He is so considerate and makes me laugh almost constantly. He's got a clever sense of humor and is supportive of everything I'm doing in my life right now (work & school), and is understanding of the crazy schedule that I live with every week. He's also really really handsome and sexy, and he's got these eyes that are absolutely incredible. Sometimes when I look at him I can't believe how lucky I am to be with him. I don't want to rush anything, but I feel so at home and relaxed whenever we're together. Everything is so easy and fun. I've never had that experience before.

The Geisel Library Building
posted March 1, 2012 1:25 PM by James Fox
This brutal beauty of reinforced concrete and glass is a library for UC San Diego designed in 1970 by architect William Pereira. The library was originally called the "Central Library" until a renovation was completed and it was renamed the Geisel Library Building on December 1, 1995 in honor of Audrey and Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss) for the generous contributions they have made to the library and their devotion to improving literacy.
UC San Diegos Mandeville Special Collections Library is the main repository for the papers of Dr. Seuss. The Dr. Seuss Collection, contains more than 8,500 items documenting the full range of Geisels work.

Intel has launched a new series of solid-state drives (SSDs) this week that likely are a harbinger of things to come in the land of enterprise storage.
The new products, called the Intel Solid-State Drive 320 Series, are based on the company's 25-nanometer flash memory format, and they come in capacities that range from 40-gigabytes up to 600 gigabytes. The technology boasts improvements in power-loss management, data security and redundancy features. They are intended both for use across a variety of system formats — including data center servers. Here are some specific specifications that you might find intriguing:
- The ability to support up to 39,5000 input/output operations per second (IOPS) random reads and 23,000 IOPS random writes (on the highest capacity drives)
- A doubling of sequential write speeds up to 220 megabytes per second
- Support for 128-bit advanced encryption standard (AES) capabilities
I've been exploring the possibilities of SSDs in the enterprise for some time. ("Will 2011 bring an enterprise SSD adoption breakthrough?") Although pricing continues to be a sticking point for those who don't look at the bigger picture, the format is gaining ground as businesses look to compress the amount of space their data center commands and to reduce power consumption. SSDs are interesting because they can do both, which makes them a great option for a company trying to green its data centers. The drives also have no moving parts, which (in theory) makes them more reliable than certain hard disk drives.
This blog post at Storagesearch.com gives you an idea of who's who in the market, but suffice to say, most major enterprise storage players are experimenting with the format. EMC's new VNX unified storage products, which shipped in early March, are one example of where the market is headed in 2011. The EMC technology is designed to be 25 percent more efficient than competitive products (which means a company, in theory, should be able to provision 25 percent less storage capacity using VNX). An entry-level edition of the VNX products starts at $10,000.
This TechTarget story of mine from about a year and a half ago provides some more market context. And a report from market research firm Objective Analysis ("Solid State Drives in the Enterprise") pegs the SSD market at roughly $4 billion by 2015, which is almost 17 times the size of the market in 2009 and about 4.1 million units. The projected annual growth rate is 55 percent, definitely worth your attention.

Welcome to the Snohomish County Search and Rescue K9 Team Web Site. The K9 team is a part of Snohomish County Volunteer Search and Rescue, a non-profit organization, that operates in partnership with and under the authority of the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office.
Dogs (K9s) can be a valuable resource in searches for lost and missing persons. Handlers must be dedicated and highly skilled and their K9s hard working, and well-trained, to be effective. Specific applications for SAR K9s include urban/suburban/rural/wilderness settings, disaster, cadaver, avalanche, and drowning or recovery.
Typical SAR K9 Missions include searching for:
Search and Rescue (SAR) K9s detect human scent. Exactly what this means to the dog is not known. It may include skin rafts, evaporated perspiration, respiratory gases, or decomposition gases from bacterial action on human skin or tissues.
In SnohomishCounty Volunteer Search & Rescue (SCVSAR), SAR K9s can be generally classified as 'airscenting', or 'trailing'.
Airscenting K9s primarily use airborne human scent to 'home in' on subjects, whereas trailing K9s rely on scent deposited by the subject on the ground, buildings, or foliage. Airscenting K9s typically work off-lead, are non-scent discriminating (locate scent from any human as opposed to a specific person), and cover large areas of terrain. Although other breeds can be trained for airscenting, the typical airscenting K9 is a herding (e.g., German or Belgian shepherds, Border Collies) or sporting (e.g., Golden or Labrador Retrievers) breed that has a reputation for working closely and in coordination with a human handler.
Trailing K9s are usually scent discriminating and require an uncontaminated (by other human scent) scent article from the subject, work on-lead to follow the subject's path, and may use non-human scent (e.g., crushed vegetation, disturbed earth) in following the subject's movements. The bloodhound is the 'prototypical' trailing K9, although herding and sporting breeds are often successfully trained for trailing as well. Mixed breed K9s with the right 'drive' characteristics, may also be trained successfully for Search and Rescue work.
In wilderness SAR applications, airscenting K9s can be deployed to high-probability areas (places where the subject may be or where the subject's scent may collect, such as in drainages in the early morning, or ridgelines in the afternoon) whereas trailing K9s can be deployed from the subject's last known point (LKP) or the site of a discovered clue. Handlers must be capable of bush navigation, wilderness survival techniques, and be self-sufficient. The K9s must be capable of working for 4-8 hours without distraction (e.g., by wildlife).
Disaster K9s are used to locate victims of catastrophic or mass-casualty events (e.g., earthquakes, landslides, building collapses, aviation incidents). Many disaster K9s in the US are trained to meet the Federal Emergency Management Agency K9 standards for domestic or international deployment; advanced agility and off-lead training are prerequisites. Disaster K9s probably rely primarily on airscent, and may be limited in mass-casualty events by their inability to differentiate between survivors and recently-deceased victims. The Snohomish County Volunteer Search and Rescue K9 Team is NOT currently offering training, or evaluation and certification, opportunities for disaster work.
Human Remains Detection (HRD), or cadaver, K9s are used to locate the remains of deceased victims. Depending on the nature of the search, these K9s may work off-lead (e.g., to search a large area for buried remains) or on-lead (to recover clues from a crime scene). Airscenting and trailing K9s are often cross-trained as cadaver K9s, although the scent the dog detects is clearly of a different nature than that detected for live or recently-deceased subjects. Cadaver K9s can locate entire bodies (including those buried or submerged), decomposed bodies, body fragments (including blood, tissues, hair, and bones), or skeletal remains and the capability of the K9 is dependent upon its training.
K9 Avalanche work is similar to airscenting, disaster, or HRD, and must be able to rapidly transition from a wilderness airscenting scenario to a disaster scenario focused on pinpointing the subject's location. K9s will only be finding 'live' subjects when they are maintained in close proximity to the avalanche site and deployed within a very few minutes of the slide. Otherwise they will be deployed in a 'recovery' mode, as they would be in the event of a submerged drowning victim needing to be located and recovered.

For 75 years, Little League® has been about the local community, and the reason we are the largest youth sports organization in the world is because of the great, local league experience. Members of the print, online, television and radio media are always looking for a good angle to tell a story, and Little League's 75th Anniversary is a great opportunity to celebrate our organization's history and help your local league, which will help with registration.
Tips for Getting Stories Placed
Your local newspaper is a great place to go, but don't overlook the importance of online media (Patch.com or similar local news site), radio stations, community newspapers and television stations. Ask your volunteers and parents if any of them work for a local media outlet or know of someone who does. Knowing a contact is a great way to get your message seen and distributed.
It's always best to reach out to a real person and not a general email. If you can find a sports editor or a local news/community editor, that is great. Try not to contact Editor-in-Chiefs, as they are less likely to have the time to cover your event. For newspapers, online news sites and magazines, look for senior editors, managing editors or reporters at a similar level. For television and radio stations, look for news directors or sports directors.
If you're having problems finding personal contact information, look for a masthead, or go to the About or Contact section of the media outlet's website. If you're still not sure who to reach out to, it never hurts to call the outlet directly and find the appropriate contact.
Media Alerts are perfect for providing quick information on an upcoming event. They should always include Who, What, Where and When. They should also include an interesting hook that makes media want to cover the event, for example, Little League's 75th Anniversary, but be sure to include anything from your community that is noteworthy about the event, whether it's your own league's history or a milestone. It is also smart to include information about any special dignitaries (for example, if the mayor is attending your opening ceremonies) who may be part of your event. Supplying a hi-resolution digital photo for the media to use is another way to help get coverage of your event.
Press Releases are a little bit longer and written more like a story. They should also have all the details that a Media Alert has, only with more information and a quote from your league president or an official with the league, and presented in a way that a news outlet could use that release directly in print or online. They are great for sending out after your event, along with a post-event photo.
When you know the date and time of your event, you can start working on a plan to inform the media. If possible, send a media alert out two weeks before your event and re-send it two to three days before your event. Identify key media that you will reach out to directly the day before your event. Within a day after your event, send out a Press Release and a photo that shares event's success. Follow up with media who covered your event, thanking them or pointing out anything that might be incorrect. If there is a media outlet that didn't cover your event, but you would like them to cover future events, contact them after your event to provide more information and excite them about your local league.
For more resources on how you can help get more media attention for your local league, and for sample Media Alerts and Press Releases, please see the materials in the Chartering and Marketing Toolkit.

Chaim Saiman will explore Jesus' legal theory from a rabbinic perspective in the Payson Library Surfboard Room Thursday, Feb. 6, at 5 p.m.
Saiman will draw out the jurisprudential assumptions embedded in the foundational documents of each religion by engaging in a comparative reading of the Gospel and rabbinic texts. The reading will demonstrate that the debates between Jesus and the Pharisees parallel contemporary discussions, not only in the field of "law and religion," but also regarding the nature of law more generally.
Saiman is a scholar of Jewish law and comparative private law. His scholarship has appeared in journals including, the American Journal of Comparative Law, the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, and the Journal of Law and Religion. He currently serves as the Gruss Visiting Professor of Talmudic Law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, the William Simon Visiting Fellow in Religion and Public Life at Princeton University, and is also the Jewish law editor for the Journal of Law and Religion. At present he is working on a book titled, Halakha: The Rabbinic Idea of Law, which will be published by Princeton University Press.
The event is free. For more information, contact Drew Billings at (310) 506-4164.

Today's column lost while shoveling
BY NEIL STEINBERG firstname.lastname@example.com February 22, 2013 6:48PM
Updated: March 25, 2013 6:38AM
There will be no column today. Because instead of writing a column first thing Friday, I shoveled the driveway.
Which drains a man of my age. So no column. My apologies. Just go about your business. Show's over. Nothing to see . . .
Yes, yes, it wasn't that much snow. Two or three inches, tops — not the big storm we were wringing our hands over Thursday night. But all that storm talk got me prepped for a big now, so it felt deeper. And I have a long front sidewalk — we live on the corner — plus a long driveway. Our house was built in the era when people tucked their garages out of sight, as if ashamed of them. So it's well behind the house at the back corner, the driveway running the entire length of the lot. I'm not complaining. Especially since my wife lent a hand with the last 400 yards of driveway — or so it seems, I didn't measure the thing. But by the time I kicked off my boots and caffeined-up, then flopped my stiff fingers on the keyboard, the news of the day had taken on a flat, unappealing quality.
So no column. Good-bye. That is all. . . .
What? Still here? Geez, you're insistent. Fine. Force of habit, right? A cruel taskmaster. I know. Believe me, I know. Oh all right, if you insist. But trust me, there's not much to say. Pick up each big story of the day, give it a sniff, and you'll see what I mean.
Drew Peterson? I think the Sun-Times editorial said it all in three words, "Good riddance, Drew." Anymore is just fiddling. I might put a slightly different spin — "Don't let the cell door hit you in the ass . . . " or words to that effect. But the sentiment is the same: gratitude that the smirking, bullying Peterson is being dropped down an oubliette for the next 38 years. Buh-bye Drew. We'll check back with you in 10 years, for our anniversary story. Have fun in the meantime.
Besides, chuckling too much about Peterson getting his due feels wrong. Two women are dead -- one officially, one in all probability, and no visceral reaction to his lack of a shred of character should make us lose sight of that. No matter the temptation to see this as a farce, it really is pure tragedy.
Jesse Jackson Jr.? What isn't self-evident? Maybe awe that his guilt is so deep and wide that neither he nor his wife put up a defense. His supposed mental illness is a sideshow — this crime was perpetrated by a ring of co-conspirators, beginning with his wife and including staffers who abetted his fraud.
But just as smirking at Drew distracts us from the real lesson — he depended on his cop status to get away with murder, and it nearly worked — so focusing on the jaw-dropping blunders of the Jacksons ignores that they were elected by constituencies all too happy to be served, or not be served, by dynamic politicians with famous names. In November, the voters of the 2nd district re-elected a man who was by his own estimation mentally ill, and a few months from resigning in disgrace and heading off to prison. It's enough to make you suspect democracy is too valuable to be left in the hands of voters. Then again, they didn't have much choice, so we can't really blame them.
Speaking of hands . . . ouch. I know I should break down and buy a snowblower. But a good snowblower is what — $800? — and then it sits in the garage corroding for the 360 days you don't need it. Shoveling is exercise, and it doesn't make sense to snowblow your driveway and then head to the gym to work their Bowflex X50 SnowShoveling machine.
Anything else? The news dribbles away from there.
There is the big spread we did Thursday on Rahm Emanuel's announcement that he is enlisting business leaders to raise $50 million to combat youth violence. Was your reaction the same as mine? Fix a chronic, complex problem . . . by raising money . . . for programs. Worthwhile programs. Hmmm . . . haven't we been down this road before? Gangs recruit by putting a gun to your head and inviting you to join. Membership is practically automatic. What program is going to counterbalance that? Not to scoff at trying. One must try. No doubt somebody will be helped — we hope. But the mayor is an expert fund-raiser, and as they say, to a hammer every problem looks like a nail; $50 million over five years is $10 million a year. There are 400,000 Chicago public school students, and half never graduate. So 200,000 kids on a track where they won't earn a high school degree — a.k.a., utterly screwed. And the mayor's program will commit an additional . . . doing the math, so hard for us newsies — $50 a year, per at-risk youth, to turn their lives around. Well, golly, I'd say that youth violence hasn't got a chance, not with an entire half C-note firehosed yearly at each troubled kid.
Anyway, those are some of the topics we won't be able to address today because of shoveling-induced weariness. But I expect the column will be back on Monday.

Team boss Stefano Domenicali says Felipe Massa still has Ferrari's full support, despite a recent poor run of results.
While his season started promisingly, the Brazilian has only managed to score 12 points in the last four grands prix and has been involved in several incidents.
In the German Grand Prix on Sunday, Massa was again left pointless after spinning when he was running in sixth place four laps into the race.
Despite his troubles, Domenicali insists Ferrari remain 100% behind their man.
"For sure," Domenicali said when asked if the team was still backing Massa. "I always said that we have a lot of confidence in Felipe.
"I know this is a very critical, very tough moment because he is the first to be disappointed.
"The only thing to do is to stay always behind him and work hard with him because we need him to make sure we are fighting for the constructors' and the others are very close.
"He will feel that the team is close to him at 100 per cent."
Massa, whose contract at Ferrari expires at the end of the season, remains confident of securing a new deal.
"I am confident I will be here [in Formula 1]," he said earlier this month.
"I think I have a good chance to stay at Ferrari, so we wait and see. I think I will just concentrate on the races, because the result is what counts for me."
Meanwhile, former Formula 1 driver David Coulthard has warned that Ferrari could lose the services of their top driver Fernando Alonso unless they improve their current performances.
The Spaniard is already 34 points behind Sebastian Vettel in the race for the world title, while Ferrari also trail Red Bull by 70 points in the constructors' championship.
"It's a long time since Alonso won a world championship and that's not because he's not putting in world championship-level performances," Coulthard told BBC Sport. "He does that all the time.
"If this continues for that much longer, you have to wonder how much longer Alonso can stay at Ferrari.
"He is 32 this year. He has still has five or so years left at the very top level, perhaps a bit more, but if Ferrari cannot get it together soon he is going to have think about his future there."

Will' pulls off Travers upsetBy RICHARD ROSENBLATT
THe Associated Press | August 25,2013AP PHOTO
Will Take Charge, left, with jockey Luis Saez aboard, pulls past Moreno and jockey Jose L. Ortiz to win the Travers Stakes at Saratoga Saturday in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. Will Take Charge waited until the final stride to get a nose past Moreno and pull off a surprise win in the Travers Stakes on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course.
The thrilling finish gave 77-year-old Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas his third win in racings Mid-Summer Derby and first since 1995, with the 9-1 Will Take Charge also beating Kentucky Derby winner Orb and Belmont Stakes winner Palace Malice, who finished third and fourth, respectively.
Will Take Charge ran in all three Triple Crown races, but never hit the board. The huge 3-year-old colt ran second to Palace Malice in the Jim Dandy, and Lukas said his horse was ready for a big race.
Will Take Charge, with Luis Saez aboard for the first time, ran 1¼ miles in 2:02.68, and paid $21.20, $8.60 and $5.20.
The 144th Travers was set up as a three-horse showdown with Derby winner Orb taking on two of trainer Todd Pletchers top colts in Haskell Invitational winner and favorite Verrazano and the ever-improving Palace Malice.
What developed instead was an impressive effort by expected pacesetter Moreno, who led the field of nine into the stretch. On the inside, though, Orb with new rider Jose Lezcano replacing the injured Joel Rosario was making a strong move for the lead. But Will Take Charge came barreling down the stretch, pulled even with Moreno in the final yards and nudged ahead of the 31-1 long shot at the wire.
Lukas, who has a basketball coaching background, called an audible leading up to the race by picking Saez to ride Will Take Charge over Junior Alvarado, who was aboard in the Jim Dandy.
I took a chance with an up and coming rider, Lukas said.
Eric Guillot, who trains Moreno, thought his gelding just might pull off a huge upset.
Brutal, huh? he asked. Last jump. He couldnt have done any better.
Romansh was fourth, followed by War Dancer, Verrazano, Golden Soul and Transparent.
Lukas won the Preakness with Oxbow for his record 14th victory in a Triple Crown race, but the colt is out with an injury. Up stepped Will Take Charge to give Lukas quite a double of Grade 1 wins.
It feels pretty good, Lukas said. Its been a long time between drinks, but when they come like this they come double.
Will Take Charge earned $600,000 for owner Willis Horton, and increased his career earnings to $1,265,371 with his fourth win in 12 starts.
On the undercard, 28-1 shot Capo Bastone won the $500,000 Kings Bishop, Sweet Lulu took the $500,000 Test Stakes, and Laughing won the $250,000 Ballston Spa.MORE IN Wire SportsMIAMI At BYU, theyre looking to restore tradition.

Old South
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2011)
Geographically, the Old South is a subregion of the American South, differentiated from the "Deep South" as being the Southern States represented in the original thirteen American colonies, as well as a way of describing the former lifestyle in the Southern United States. Culturally, the term can be used to describe the antebellum period.[1]
Geographic usage[edit]
The Southern Colonies were Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.
The "Old South" is usually defined in opposition to the Deep South including Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina and Mississippi, and it is also further differentiated from the inland border states, including the Upper South states of Kentucky and West Virginia, as well peripheral southern states of Florida and Texas.
The "Old South" also refers to the tradition of Southerners voting the Democratic ticket. During the Reconstruction period after the Civil War, many Democrats lost their ability to vote. This led to a Republican South until 1877, when southern Democrats returned to power. Recently this Democratic dominance has eroded, yet the South maintains its conservative stance. The majority of the Southern population now identifies with the Republican party. The 2014 mid-term elections consist of many competitive tickets, many of which are in the South, such as the United States Senate elections in Kentucky and Georgia, which the Democrats hope to win, leading some to believe that the Democrats' strategy of maintaining their legislative victories, as well as future Presidential elections, is to revive the Old South.

Unit Vectors - Problem 1
There are two ways we can express a vector algebraically. One is in component form, with the corner brackets, and a, b the horizontal and vertical components of the vector, and the other way is using the unit vectors i and j. It's really easy to switch back and forth between these two forms, as long as you remember that i is the vector <1, 0> and j is vector <0, 1>. All you have to do is multiply through and you get <5, 0> minus <0, 9>. That's <5, -9>. You can see that it's a lot quicker than that.
Really these coefficients of i and j are the components, so you can go directly to this form, once you realize that. For example 8i plus 7 is <8, 1>. Those are the components. -16i is <-16, 0>.
This one's a little trickier. We have a coefficient here. Notice that we have the magnitude of 3i minus 4j so that's just going to be some real number and then 1 over that. Let me calculate that first.
The magnitude of 3i minus 4j, so square root of 3² plus -4². Those are the components, 3 and -4. We get 9 plus 16 which is 25, and root 25 is 5. This is really just 1/5 of 3i minus 4j. You can scalar multiply 3i minus 4j just the way you might expect. Just distribute this 1/5 over the two terms. You get 3/5i minus 4/5j. And then just convert to the component form, <3/5, -4/5> and that's your final answer.
Again you've got your two forms, you've got component form with the corner brackets and the horizontal and vertical components. You've also got this i,j form with the unit vectors i and j. Remember the unit vectors are drawn with this little hat pronounced i-hat and j-hat.

Familiar with the Betty Broderick story? Do you think she was guilty or not?
Im not sure if I would have found her guilty
Answer: There's no question she shot her ex-husband and his new wife. The only question was her mental state at the time. The woman appears to be a classic narcissist whose personality could not stand the loss of her husband and the standing that went with her marriage to him. Yeah, she was guilty.

Does anyone remember the Betty Broderick story?
Years ago I watched the Lifetime movie about the Broderick murders titled "A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story." After watching that flick I thought Betty was a foul mouthed, bitter woman who was driven to insanity by her "wandering" husband.
About a year ago I picked up Bella Stumbos book, "Until the Twelfth of Never: The Deadly Divorce of Dan & Betty Broderick." I couldnt put it down!! Stumbo thoroughly researched the entire history of the Broderick marriage, violent divorce, and the murder of Dan and Kathy Broderick.
Turns out that Lifetime movie I saw back in the 90s was scripted by the sad woman who prosecuted Betty Broderick (twice), and furthered her career by doing so; the honorable Superior Court Judge Kerry Wells. Wow! No wonder Betty Broderick was portrayed so harshly in the made for TV movie.
In Stumbos book no one is innocent, and the court records show how horribly Betty was treated by her attorney husband and his new wife. Betty was no saint either after she discovered her husbands affair with a woman half her age, and amazingly enough, a woman who looked like she could have been Bettys identical twin twenty years previous.
Same old story though...woman works to put husband through college so HE can provide well for the family, in Bettys case she worked to put him through college twice; once for Medical school and secondly Law school(of course his brothers deny this now but it is WELL documented by everyone who knew the couple early on in the marriage),...then, just when the husbands career becomes solid, he leaves the family for a beautiful gold digger.
Nothing justifies murder. No but he deserved it. Betty should have moved on because Dan clearly didnt deserve her. He deserved to marry the younger model. After 2-3 years of wedded bliss, the new wife would have become bored and taken Mr. Broderick to the cleaners leaving his ex-wife Betty with plenty of room to gloat. Sadly, every participant in this story lost; Dan and Linda lost their lives, Betty lost her freedom, and the kids lost their mom and dad. The only person who won was Superior Ct. Judge Kerry Wells, then prosecutor Kerry Wells, who went after Betty Broderick with a vengeance to earn her position. If I could ask this woman, Wells, one question, it would be "Did you ever feel the least little bit of compassion for Betty Broderick?"
If anybody else has read the book...not seen the movie but actually read the unflattering tale of the entire Broderick cast, do you have an opinion on the matter? After almost 20 years in prison Betty Broderick was denied parole in January 2010. She will not be up for parole again for 15 years! Dan Brodericks powerful friends continue to aid him in tormenting his ex wife 21 years after his death.
Answer: Oh yes. I actually went to the preliminary hearings of the first trial, which was an utter disaster. But let's not spit and shine it here. Murder is still murder, and the evidence eventually was quite conclusive. Dan Broderick was certainly a schmuck and is probably doing hard time somewhere else (meaning HELL), but at least Betty is still alive.

Gentlemen- Do you really think Modern Feminism is responsible for your dissatisfaction with women in general?
If so, then take a look.
Personally, I think a woman scorned ( particularly those really "nice, compliant types" ) can be much more detrimental to a guys health. Your thoughts?
Answer: Not really. The women I have dealt with had minds of their own, and did not walk in lockstep with feminist dogma. But many of the issues dividing us were issues which have divided men and women since the beginning of time. And a woman scorned can be dangerous for anyone's health. I have encountered many scorned women, who felt it was necessary to exact justice on all people, men particulalrly. They bring their attitudes and hatred everywhere they go. And the scorned men, who normally exact "justice" in more violent tones, are no better.

who is betty broderick?
Answer: An evil, spiteful woman. She killed her ex-husband and "the other woman". Many say it was the way her ex-husband treated her. He was one of California's top attorneys, and had made their divorce a virtual hell of humiliation, jail sentences and disgrace, but it would have been better to walk away with nothing, than to resort to killing two people. http://www.crimelibrary.com/classics2/broderick/

You have heard of the Betty Broderick case...It was all over the news years ago.?
Where her husband cheated on her for years with a young secretary...Later eventually married the young woman. This CAUSED Betty to go into a fury, which is understandable. She has put him through law school working as a waitress and other jobs. Then he DUMPED her. How many woman would take that? NONE. She was raised Catholic and thought marriage is forever. (sadly, now adays not anymore). She was UNABLE TO ACCEPT WHAT HE DID TO HER...and ultimately killed him and his wife. I do UNDERSTAND why she did it. BUT THE LAW is the law, we are NOT suppose to kill anyone. What is your take on this case.??? She still feels she is a VICTIM. I thought is was very, very sad and tragic. The kids of her marriage had to CHANGE their last name..so they wouldnt have people coming up to them asking them questions. They had to put it behind them, (I do not know how to do that????) and move on as difficult as it may be. Move out of the area and try to keep busy...
Answer: I remember that case, and did see the movie too. She really put her children through sheer terror, and then they had to take the stand against their own mother, in order to tell the truth. I can understand her rage and jealousy but there were other options such as counseling, moving, many things but she chose the absolutely wrong path for not only herself but her family. She did commit a horrifying, tragic and sad act. I have never felt sorry for her, just her family. I hope and pray her family has been able to move on and live fulfilling lives.
Category: Media & Journalism
Do you know the Betty Broderick story?
Do you think her actions were justified and the rage drove her to the killings? If you would have been in her shoes, do you think there could have been a possibility you would have done the same thing?
Answer: Yes I do and I'm totally on her side. She did everything for her husband and how does he repay her? By throwing her to the wayside like garbage and replacing her with a look-a-like younger version. He got what he deserved.

What are your thoughts on this case??
The Elisabeth (Betty) Broderick case? The woman who walked into her ex-husbands bedroom and shot and killed both he and his new wife. For those who are familiar with the case, what is your opinion on the situation? Some excused Betty murdering them because he so-called emotionally abused her. How do you feel?
Personally, from what Ive read and seen on TV about the case, I believe that 1) their marriage could have been saved with some counseling and 2)even if she was subject to abuse, she didnt have the right to take things into her own hands by taking 2 lives.
Answer: I feel she belongs in prison. Just because someone is abusive doesn't mean you can kill them. She was already out of the relationship, and she should have moved on. If someone is in an abusive relationship they should leave. There is almost always a way out of the situation without resorting to violence.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals Thursday appointed Matthew Emmens president, with an expected transition to CEO and chairman in May 2009, when current CEO Joshua Boger is set to retire.
Emmens, a 35-year pharma industry veteran, has been a Vertex director since 2004. He previously served as CEO of Shire plc and Astra Merck Inc., and as president for Merck KGaA's global prescription pharmaceuticals.
As Shire CEO, he expanded the company through mergers and acquisitions such as Transkaryotic Therapies Inc. in 2005, and New River Pharmaceuticals Inc. in 2007, diversifying the company's product portfolio and quadrupling its share price.
With a potential blockbuster in the pipeline—protease inhibitor telaprevir, currently in phase III clinical trials—Emmens will have another chance to flex his management and marketing muscles. Last November, phase II trial results showed a 52 percent SVR12 in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) treatment-failure patients with a 24-week treatment duration, therefore reaping better results in half the time than the existing standard.
"We have a rare opportunity to create a world-class commercial enterprise that complements Vertex's excellence in R&D innovation,†said Emmens in a Vertex press release. "In the area of hepatitis C, and also in cystic fibrosis, Vertex has the potential to transform patients' lives and build tremendous value. Together with the employees my goal is to make this vision a reality.â€

Tim Larson is the youngest of eight children raised by Ray and Pauline Larson in East Hartford's Mayberry Village neighborhood. The Larsons were not a wealthy family but they had each other, and the children shared the values bestowed on them by their parents: the importance of family, friends, hard work, a strong education, and giving back to the community.
Tim built upon those lessons as a young man. Working to pay his way through college, he graduated with a degree in sociology from Eastern Connecticut State College.
While at Eastern, Tim met his wife Nancy. Tim and Nancy are a team, raising their children, Matt and Arianna, and passing down those same valuable lessons of family, hard work, and community service.
Nancy has worked as an educator in the Town of South Windsor for over 20 years. Matt is currently doing graduate work at the Institute of World Politics in Washington, DC. Arianna is now a graduate of Boston University.
Tim's background has brought him success through the years in numerous arenas. He is a successful businessman, having served as President of the Larson and Lysik Insurance Agency and he is currently the Executive Director of Tweed New Haven Airport Authority.
Tim has focused his charitable work on children, families and the community, having served as President of the East Hartford Interfaith Ministries, a Director of Rebuilding East Hartford Together, and a member of the Rotary Club, Riverfront Recapture, and the Hartford Marathon Foundation.
More recently, Tim served four terms, eight years, as Mayor of the Town of East Hartford. As Mayor, Tim took steps to rebuild the Town's infrastructure, saw the development of Rentschler Field Stadium, and Coca-Cola Bottling Co., signed the tax agreement bringing Cabela's to Rentschler Field, supported Redevelopment projects on Main Street and Burnside Avenue, and strengthened the Town through tight fiscal policy which helped keep necessary services for town residents while building up the town's rainy day fund.

Meet the new urbanites: They have long, furry muzzles, piercing, yellow eyes and are very, very wily.
They're coyotes.
Until recently, scientists who study wildlife thought coyotes couldn't live in heavily populated areas. Wild carnivorous animals and humans don't typically mix.
Dennis Maxwell/AP
A coyote takes a ride on a light rail train in Portland, Ore., back in 2002. The wild canines are becoming more and more comfortable living in cities.
But, as we've previously reported, those scientists were proven wrong. There have been coyote sightings in dozens of U.S. cities ? Chicago, Portland, Seattle, even New York City. Like the fox, the skunk and the raccoon before it, the coyote is the latest predatory animal to make the city its home.
Krulwich Wonders...
60 Wild Coyotes Patrol Chicago (And Occasionally Stop At Convenience Stores)
Stan Gehrt, a professor of wildlife ecology at Ohio State University, said coyotes are now the largest carnivorous animal in many urban areas. But, in a presentation earlier today in Columbus, Ohio, Gehrt predicted they may not hold that title for very long. He said there's already evidence that even larger carnivores ? think wolves, mountain lions and even bears ? are beginning to encroach onto the city space.
"Coyotes are right now kind of testing out the urban boundary," Gehrt told us. "They're forcing people to really evaluate and reflect on what are our limits going to be. What are we going to let live in the cities?"
He said the way coyotes have adapted to city life is a model for how larger animals could do the same. Unlike in rural areas, urban coyotes are the top predator ? there's no animal above them on the local food chain. Gehrt said humans are the only animals that pose a threat to urban coyotes, and the wild canines have taken some remarkable steps to avoid encounters with us.
The Cook County, Illinois, Coyote Project
Scientists tracked one coyote in Chicago during 2010 and mapped where it went. Many of the locations shown here are along the city's famous Lake Shore Drive.
The Cook County, Illinois, Coyote Project Scientists tracked one coyote in Chicago during 2010 and mapped where it went. Many of the locations shown here are along the city's famous Lake Shore Drive.
"They're doing things we didn't think they could do," he said. "They became totally nocturnal. They'll eat human food. They became really good at finding natural prey, even in areas of concrete and steel."
Gehrt said coyotes now have longer life expectancies in downtown Chicago than they do just 50 miles away in the cornfields of rural Illinois, where they have to dodge trappers and hunters to stay alive.
So what does this mean for larger animals? Are we going to see bears wandering past skyscrapers anytime soon?
On the one hand, it's hard to see how an animal as large as a bear could become as inconspicuous in urban areas as coyotes have become. But on the other hand, we're already getting more bear sightings in suburban, residential areas ? places like Reno, Nev., Missoula, Mont., and Boulder, Colo. Gehrt said, in some Eastern European cities, brown bears are foraging through trash at night, "acting like raccoons but hundreds of pounds heavier."
Gehrt said this trend is setting up an inevitable conflict ? wild animals are becoming more and more comfortable in populated areas at the same time that people are becoming less and less accepting of the killing of those wild animals.
"I've seen both sides of it," he said. "I've studied animals and I have a tremendous amount of respect for them. They humble me on a daily basis. But I've also seen the damage they can do. I've had to talk to the mother of a child that was killed by carnivores. That doesn't leave you."
