Idaho's bipartisan citizen redistricting commission has now held 10 public hearings around the state, including four in North Idaho last week, and members say it's going well - so well that they've set a target of reaching a redistricting plan by July 27, a full month ahead of schedule. "The input we're getting from the public hearings has been excellent," said commission Co-Chairman Allen Andersen, a Democrat from Pocatello. "It's given us insight. … A target date in July is achievable." Said GOP Commissioner Lou Esposito of Boise, "I think we have a good chance of making that goal." He added, "We're hoping to have a 6-0 vote, that's our goal."
The numerous public hearings, including some in smaller communities like Sandpoint and Soda Springs, have been eye-openers for the commissioners. "We're really paying attention to public input," said GOP Co-Chairman Evan Frasure of Pocatello. "As you do that, it takes a lot of the political gamesmanship off the table."
Among the revelations from the hearings so far: North Idaho's District 2 is likely to be completely realigned, and that could mean that District 2 Sen. Joyce Broadsword, R-Sagle, ends up in District 1 - along with District 1 Sen. Shawn Keough, R-Sandpoint. Even Broadsword told the commission the district has to change. "It isn't about seated legislators. It's about what's best for the citizens who live in those districts, what's easiest for them to be able to get to the polls and participate in the system," she said at the hearing in Sandpoint. "That's just the reality," Frasure said. "I think all of us are committed to do the right thing. … She testified against her own legislative district."
The commission still has three more public hearings scheduled this week, in Burley, Twin Falls and Hailey; there's more info here, and you can read my full Sunday column here.

PHILADELPHIA Ś It didnÆt take long for the question to be put to MLS Commissioner Don Garber Thursday.
ōDiscussions are ongoing as recently as late last night and early this morning,ö Garber said in an address to media about the pursuit by the league and the Philadelphia Union of American midfielder Maurice Edu. ōSo thereÆs nothing I can report on that.ö
There was a change in the narrative, though, from the Union side, with CEO Nick Sakiewicz strongly refuting reports Wednesday that the deal was being held up by MLS headquarters.
ōI know everyone is excited and anxious and anticipatory and blowing up Twitter over that, but we just got to take a step back,ö Sakiewicz said at the SuperDraft. ōItÆs a very difficult negotiation. In any negotiation, thereÆs stalls, thereÆs stops, thereÆs moving ahead, so itÆs very fluid.
ōWeÆre very much working with the league in concert as opposed to the rumor that wasnÆt true. And these things kind of turn. They can turn on a dime Ś positively or backwards. WeÆre living it every minute and every hour counts. And we have till the 31st of January to get it done. ThatÆs the transfer window.
ōWe just want to make sure we do it right. Right for Mo. Right for the league. Right financially for the Union. We want him. And he wants to be here. But the negotiating process is very fluid and unpredictable.ö
With MLSÆ structure as a single entity, EduÆs return from a stint in Europe would involve the player officially being transferred from English Premier League club Stoke City to sign a deal with MLS. Edu would then be allocated to the Union, who swapped with D.C. United Tuesday for the first spot in the allocation order.
While both Sakiewicz and Garber distanced themselves from reports that the league had balked at the proposed salary figure, Garber allowed that the widely reported number of a $1.2 million salary was on the low end.
Sakiewicz was adamant that the Union doesnÆt see the league as taking an adversarial position to theirs and characterized the negotiations as similarly complex as hundreds heÆs done in his time in the league.
ōI canÆt give you any specifics other than that I think all three parties are working really hard to make this work,ö Union manager John Hackworth said. ōWeÆre not there, but IÆm an optimist and IÆm believing that if this is going to work out for us, it would be a great acquisition for a club a player that I think can be a real difference maker for us.ö

MOBILE, Ala. – Three people injured in a boat fire this weekend were still recovering at USA Medical Center Wednesday after being injured in a boat fire Saturday.
Kristin Hutchinson and Katlyn Herring were excited about their first fishing trip. The morning started with "selfies" on the boat ride out to deep waters.
"So, that's where we were headed, by one of those rigs. We were going to spend the day, and then once we met our limit come back," Hutchinson said.
A group of seven friends and family members from New Augusta, Mississippi left out of Pascagoula early Saturday on a red snapper fishing trip on June 7th.
They were just starting to catch fish when something terrible happened.
"I had turned my back and was dropping my line when I heard the explosion,,,I remember seeing like a ball of fire.,, At that minute I thought oh my God I'm on fire and I took off running and dover over the side of the boat into the water," Hutchinson said.
Kristin has 2nd and 3rd degree burns over both her legs. Doctors are trying to determine if she'll need skin grafs.
Melody Breland was just a few feet from her daughter.
"I don't know if it blew me off, or I jumped. I just went over backwards," Breland said.
There were a total of seven people on the boat.
Breland said they think the carburetor backfired and ignited fumes in the bottom of the vessel.
"It brought the fire under the bow of the boat and came out under the console. It just went out and came back in. It covered everybody's legs. But luckily my legs were up on the side of the boat, and I guess that's why I didn't get burned," Breland said.
Katyln was also burned, and so was her father. She said it could have been much worse, because moments before the explosion he was below deck.
"My dad was down where it had exploded. He got up to come help me, and it was just a loud noise," Katyln said.
They're just grateful for the other boaters who were nearby.
"That first boat that came to us, they were our angels. They saved us. They got us out of the water," Breland said.
And another boater, the captain of the Blue Water Cowboy, took them to meet up with the coast guard. He had the fastest boat.
"They were wonderful, everybody was," Breland said.
Breland said the first boat was out of Pascagoula. There was a nurse on board who knew exactly what to do for the injuries.
Unfortunately, they didn't get any of the names.

Celtics-Cavs playoff schedule: Round two
Here's the Boston Celtics-Cleveland Cavs playoff schedule for round two. As of now, a lot of times are to be determined, so I'll update those as soon as they become set in stone.
Game 1 at Cleveland – Saturday, May 1, 8:00 p.m. (TNT)
Game 2 at Cleveland – Monday, May 3, 8:00 p.m. (TNT)
Game 3 at Boston – Friday, May 7, 7:00 p.m. (ESPN)
Game 4 at Boston – Sunday, May 9, 3:30 PM (ABC)
Game 5* at Cleveland – Tuesday, May 11, TBA (TNT)
Game 6* at Boston – Thursday, May 13, TBA (ESPN)
Game 7* at Cleveland – Sunday, May 16, 3:30 PM (ABC)
* Game to be played if necessary.
An odd three-day break between Game Two and Game Three, which is reportedly because TNT needed more Monday games. Not sure if I like that; I guess it depends how the first two games go. If the Celtics are rolling, that break will be like halftime coming right in the middle of a run. If they're struggling, it'll be nice to get a few days to regroup and have some practice time.
Can't wait for Saturday.

WASHINGTON, PA, Dec. 5, 2014 -- Whata Donato yielded to the pocket behind Anaffairtoremember, then brushed by her inside to capture her second straight Lightning Lane victory in Friday's $20,000 Filly & Mare Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows. Trainer/driver Doug Snyder hustled Whata Donato to a relatively easy lead while the parked-out Anaffairtoremember didn't see the cones until the three-eighths. That was the edge Whata Donato needed, as she knifed through the slop to score in 1:55.4. Anaffairtoremember gamely held place, 2-1/4 lengths back, with Magic Wheel third. Frank Poerio, Jr. campaigns Whata Donato, a 4-year-old daughter of Donato Hanover-Donven Promise who extended her career bankroll to $166,641. Mike Wilder drove four winners and Dave Palone three on the 15-race card. by Evan Pattack, for the Meadows

Solvato rallied from near the back to circle the field around the last bend to score easily for owner Denco HB. Montgomery Hill (10g SJ's Photo-Funny Hill-Mr. Vic) was second for Flemming Jensen and Nothing But Class (5m Andover Hall-Bold Dreamer-Donerail) ended third for Peter Untersteiner. The winner hopes to start next Saturday at Paris-Vincennes in the Gr.

Take The Money took the field through three-quarters in a sharp 1:25.4 over a sloppy surface. But when trainer/driver Doug Snyder pointed Whata Donato to the Lightning Lane, the 4-year-old daughter of Donato Hanover-Donven Promise poured through to score in 1:55.1 and down Take The Money by 2 lengths.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J./ Heavy race favorite Shake It Cerry, with harness racing driver Ron Piece in the bike, waited mid-pack and then swept three wide to win the Breeders Crown $500,000 Three-Year-Old Filly Trot in a harness racing stakes-record 1:52.2 mile at the Meadowlands on Nov. 21. It was trainer Jimmy Takter's 19th Breeders Crown winner. Shake It Cerry sat fifth early as Riveting Rose took the early lead. Just after the :27.1 first quarter, Takter's other filly, Lifetime Pursuit, took over. Shake It Cerry was sixth until Cee Bee Yes went first over and she followed as the half went in :55.3. Shake It Cerry came out around the turn and went three wide to begin a strong brush to the lead, with three-quarters in 1:24.4 and a masterful command of the field. She soared home to win by 2¼ lengths. Cee Bee Yes held for second as Struck By Lindy made up enough ground mid-stretch to just miss catching her, getting third. "Just the way things worked out," said Ron Pierce after the trip. "They were mixing up real good and we decided to relax a bit. We found a live helmet to take us up the last turn anyway and carried it the rest, I just sat there. she just cruised by 'em. Very little encouragement. Jimmy did a great job with her I just can't say enough about her." Solveig's Breeders bred Shake It Cerry for owners Solveig's Racing Partners. She paid just $2.40 to win.

After being involved in a series accident in the seventh race at Pocono Downs Wednesday, harness racing driver George Napolitano, Jr. recovered quickly from his hospital visit to make the journey to Harrah's Philadelphia and win two of the three divisions in the co-feature trots and a total of five races on the program.. The three divisions of the mid-conditioned level trot headlined the card on a rainy Thursday afternoon from Harrah's Philadelphia, each going for a purse of $17,000. In the first division, it was 4 Leaf Racing's Smoother Ride (Geo. Napolitano Jr.) with a front-end victory. The son of Yankee Glide quarter-brushed past early leader (and eventual second place finisher) Muscolo (Tim Tetrick) just after the quarter pole. From that point, he never looked back, splashing to a two length victory in 1:55.3. Hoosier Park invader Time Will Tell All (Corey Callahan) emerged first-over from the three-hole past three-quarters, but flattened out to finish third. Smoother Ride ($2.40) picked up his fifteenth victory of the year for trainer John Mc Dermott. In the second division, it was Howard Jacobs' Political Desire (Geo Napolitano Jr.) going gate-to-wire for the victory. The 8-year-old son of Tom Ridge was well-rated the first half (58.1) and had plenty left in the tank for the stretch drive. He went on to win by a length and a quarter, stopping the timer in 1:56. Wind Neath My Feet (Marcus Miller) finished a game second in his debut for the Jake Huff barn, while Way Outta Here (Andrew McCarthy) rallied for third. Political Desire ($3.40) was one of three training wins for Kevin Carr. The gelding is one win away from notching his 40th career victory. The third and final division went to J&T Silva Stables' Omnipotent (Andrew McCarthy). The daughter of Donato Hanover laid off the early battle, which saw Il Mago (Daryl Bier) and Bastille (Andy Miller) exchange leads. Omnipotent (8.40) worked out a solid second-over trip, and was able to out close the leaders in the final steps, winning by a neck, stopping the clock in 1:56.2. Il Mago had to settle for second, while Bastille faded to third. Driver George Napolitiano Jr., who was unseated in a drive Wednesday night at Pocono Downs, had five winners on the card, maintaining his lead in the driver standings. Live racing returns Friday afternoon with a first post of 12:40 PM. Mike Bozich

Shake It Cerry trotted to a new harness racing stakes and track record clocking of 1:52.2 in the $150,000 American National 3-year-Old Filly Trot Saturday night at Balmoral Park. The previous record was 1:54, set in 2010 by Springtime Volo and in 2000 by Armbro Temple. Reined by Ron Pierce for trainer Jimmy Takter and the Solveig's Racing Partners of East Windsor, NJ, the daughter of Donato Hanover notched her 20th career victory and pushed her career earnings to $1,631,205. "She's incredibly fast off the gate," said the filly's caretaker Helen Engblom. "I know that Lifetime Pursuit is a really good racehorse so I was a little concerned with her being right on her back. She is a special filly. She's a real sweetheart to be around and easy to take care of." Shake It Cerry left hard from post nine, with stablemate and 2013 Hambletonian Oaks winner Lifetime Pursuit (Yannick Gingras) right beside her until the former cleared at the :28.1 first quarter. Those two remained tightly bunched through the :57.3 half and the 1:25.3 three-quarters, with Broadway Socks (Dan Rawlings) and Cee Bee Yes (Scott Zeron) following. Turning for home, Shake It Cerry began to open up on her rivals, being challenged only briefly by Lifetime Pursuit, but to no avail as the former brushed in :26.4 to keep her six-race win streak intact. Lifetime Pursuit picked notched runner-up honors, with the hard-trying Cee Bee Yes grabbing the show money. Shake It Cerry should be a cince for divisional honors, especially off her victory in the the 49th edition of the $224,000 Kentucky Filly Futurity just one week ago. This season Shake It Cerry has also won the $368,100 Elegant Image at Mohawk in 1:52.1; the $213,500 Miller Memorial at The Meadowlands in 1:53; the $150,000 Zweig at Vernon in 1:53.1; the $93,850 Currie & Ives Final in 1:55.3 at The Meadows; her $35,000 Hambletonian Oaks prep at The Meadowlands in 1:54.4; and the $99,997 PASS Final in 1:53.1 at The Meadows, among others. Shake It Cerry is the fourth foal out of her dam and is full sister to Solvato 3, 1:53.2f ($300,931) and the 2-year-old Uncle Lasse 2, 1:54.1 ($203,279). She also has a half-brother in Dontyouforgetit 3, 1:52.1f ($598,049). By Kimberly Rinker

Last time: The Kentucky Futurity, the second leg of Trotting's Triple Crown, capped off two exciting weeks of Grand Circuit racing at The Red Mile. USTA/Mark Hall photo Nuncio and John Campbell captured the Kentucky Futurity at The Red Mile. Team Takter provided Red Mile fans with a thrilling stretch duel between stablemates Nuncio and Father Patrick who slugged it out to the wire, with Nuncio emerging victorious by 1-1/4 lengths in 1:51.3 in the 122nd edition of the $435,000 Kentucky Futurity for sophomore trotting colts. Hall of Famer John Campbell steered Nuncio, a son of Andover Hall-Nicole Isabelle, to his eighth win of the season and his 13th career victory for owner Stall TZ, Inc. He now has $1,488,970 in career earnings. Nuncio had the lead from start to finish, trotting through splits of :27.2, :54.1 and 1:22.2 before Father Patrick (Yannick Gingras) began to challenge him. It appeared that Father Patrick was going to trot right past Nuncio, but the latter dug in hard and held off his stablemate. Shake It Cerry put forth a dominating performance in the 49th edition of the $224,000 Kentucky Filly Futurity, stopping the timer in 1:52.2 for driver Ron Pierce and trainer Takter. The 1-5 public's choice, a daughter of Donato Hanover-Solveig, pushed her career earnings to $1,562,205 for the Solveig's Racing Partners.

Robert Bi (4m Toss Out-Up Front JM) won today's €400,000 European Championship for four year-olds in 1.12.9kr over 2150 meters autostart at Mauquenchy (FR). Off as the 2.7/1 favorite in a very competitive field, reinsman Robin Bakker executed a strategic victory early when he vacated third on the pegs and swept to the lead ahead of first away Tumble Dust (4m Crazed-Affinity) driven by Torbjorn Jansson. Positions were unchanged as Bakker rated the pace until several challengers appeared late. Tumble Dust was blocked down the lane and never able to escape with Tast of Bourbon in the same situation behind that one. Amiral Sacha (4m Ganymede-Nostalgique Sacha) ralled late for second ahead of Africaine (4f Oiseau de Feux-Italienne) with Jean-Etienne Dubois up with D'One (4f Donato Hanover-Giant Diablo) fourth and Tumble Dust fifth. Nine starters were within three lengths on the line. Robert Bi is trained by Paul Hagoort for owner K.K. Bijkcrk of Holland. The winner recorded his 12th win in a career that now shows €687,570 earned. Robert Bi was bred in Italy by Allevamento G. Biasuzzi. by Thomas H. Hicks, for Harnesslink.com
LEXINGTON, KY-- Despite an hour-and-a-half delay provoked by a blown transformer near the first turn, the $336,000 Bluegrass for two-year-old filly trotters was contested in four divisions on Thursday, September 25. The wait was worth it as a world record was tied. Jolene Jolene, sent off the 8/5-second choice, equaled the world record for freshmen filly trotters of 1:52.1 in division two of Bluegrass action. Classical Annie circled around Scented Roses to secure command through a :28.2 first quarter. Passing three-eighths, Jolene Jolene made a furious bid from fourth to commandeer the field. Clearing in a :56.3 (:28.1) half-mile, her lead began to grow into the far turn. Leading by 5 lengths through a 1:24 (:27.2) third quarter, driver David Miller kept Jolene Jolene to task while Lock Down Lindy tried to close, as well as Gold Cora and Sweet Thing. As Lock Down Lindy broke, Gold Cora and Sweet Thing took over second and third while Jolene Jolene was striding to an 8-length victory in 1:52.1 (:28.1). Returning $5.40 to win, the Muscle Hill-Celebrity Speedie-Malabar Man daughter is owned by William Donovan and trained by Jonas Czernyson. The 1:52.1 effort is a lifetime mark for the filly trotter, and this win puts her season's earnings at $207,527. Scratched down to a field of four in the pari-mutual spectrum, Wild Honey, off a world-record 1:55.2 mile at Delaware, Ohio, coasted around the Lexington oval to win in 1:55.2, with a :26.3 final quarter. Able to put up fractions of :29.2, :59.3 (:30.1), and 1:28.4 (:29.1), Wild Honey led foes Onda Di Mare, Love Me Madly, Shafina Hanover, and Hot Stuff, respectively, in her gate-to-wire performance. They remained in that order as Wild Honey sprinted to the wire in :26.3 to win in 1:55.2. Owned by Christina Takter, John and Jim Fielding, and Herb Liverman, the Cantab Hall-U Wanna Lindy-S J's Photo daughter paid $2.10 to win. She's trained by Jimmy Takter and driven by Yannick Gingras. Winning seven of eight starts, the Pennsylvania Sires Stakes champion has now amassed $312,656 in earnings. Fresh off a victory in the Kindergarten Series, Lilu Hanover claimed victory in the third division of the Bluegrass in 1:54.2. Getting away on the lead, Lilu Hanover led Armatrading, That's So Ironic, and Annaliina as she marched to the quarter. Passing that station in :29, Annaliina was sent two wide and began to brush by her competition. She took the lead from Lilu Hanover through a half of :57.2 (:28.2). Around into the far turn, Armatrading pulled first over to challenge Annaliina for control. Lilu Hanover sat steady In The Pocket through a 1:27.1 (:29.4) third-quarter. Midway into the stretch, Lilu Hanover pulled the pocket and managed to split Annaliina and Armatrading to get a nose in front and extend to a length in 1:54.2 (:27.1). Annaliina was second, Concentration was third and Armatrading was fourth. A daughter of Andover Hall-Lady Luck Hanover-Donerail, she is owned by Marvin Katz and Al Libfeld, trained by Jimmy Takter and Scott Zeron guided her to victory. Paying $5.20 to win, the 1:54.2 mile is a lifetime mark for Lilu Hanover. Bee The Queen capped the stakes action with a 1:54.1 victory over Allerage Star and Crunchess Finale dueled for control through a :27.3 first quarter. Clearing the front into the backstretch, Allerage Star maintained her lead past the half in :55.2 (:27.4). Driver Brian Sears gave Bee The Queen the cue to go entering the far turn, flushed from fourth by Sarcy. Within a matter of strides, Bee The Queen secured control. Sarcy stalked uncovered while Allerage Star was to her inside In The Pocket. Bee The Queen trotted by three-quarters in 1:24.3 (:29.1). Sarcy broke turning for home, and Allerage Star swung out of the pocket, but failed to rally by Bee The Queen. Wiclet Hanover from the back closed into second, as well as Kirsi Hanover into third as Bee The Queen was victorious in 1:54.1 (:29.3). Owned by Alfred Ross and trained by George Ducharme, the Donato Hanover-Bee Line-Self Possessed filly paid $5.40 to win. Her 1:54.1 victory is a lifetime best, and her season's earnings are now at $63,392. Live racing resumes Friday, September 26 with the $287,600 Bluegrass for two-year-old filly pacers and the $393,000 Bluegrass for two-year-old colt trotters. With three divisions for the fillies and four for the colts, post time is set at 7:00pmEDT. By Ray Cotolo, for The Red Mile
Robert Bi and reinsman Robert Bakker took today's first local elimination for the October 4th European Championship for four year-olds. The Paul Hagoort trainee (4mToss Out-Up Front JM) held off Tast of Bourbon (4f Donato Hanover-Qualita Bourbon) with owner Jean-Pierre Dubois up and Rue du Bac (4m Infinitif-Ici) and teamster J-M Bazire in a hotly, closely contested battle on the line. Robert Bi was off at 2.2/1 odds and he covered the 2150 meters autostart in 1.14.2kr in the mud. Purse was E60,000. The Dubois/Bazire battle continued post-race with an unusual on-track altercation.

ANDERSON, Ind.-September 20, 2014 - Master of Law pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season as he was able to wear down the overwhelmingly favored, Sebastian K, late in the stretch to win the $238,500 Centaur Trotting Classic at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Saturday, September 20. Driven by trainer Jimmy Takter, Master of Law was able to close off cover to win at 21-1 in 1:54.2 over a track rated good. Sebastian K and driver, trainer Ake Svenstadt left alertly from post six but would have to work for position as Creatine and Trace Tetrick left aggressively to get the first call around the opening turn in :27. Their lead would be short lived as Sebastian K pressed on to the lead and reached the front just before the half mile time in :55.4. With a target on his back, Sebastian K would once again have to work for position as the outer flow quickly began to form. Verlin Yoder had Natural Herbie out and firing down the backside and was forcing the issue first-over approaching the final turn with Master of Law in tow. As the field began to tighten, Sebastian K still called the shots around the three-quarter clocking in 1:24.4 but the taxing trip began to take its toll. Sebastian K was able to fend off Natural Herbie but Master of Law loomed large in the background. Tipping three-wide late in the lane, Master of Law surged passed his rivals and coasted to the wire to finish two lengths in front of Creatine. Natural Herbie held on gamely to round out the trifecta while Sebastian K faded late in the stretch to finish seventh. Dismissed at the betting windows, Master of Law returned $44.00 for the victory. "We got away decent, obviously the track was a little sticky but everything worked out in my favor," Takter noted in the winner's circle. "The track favored my horse a little more versus my other horse in the field (Uncle Peter) who was not shod for this track. This is a nice horse. He's developing all the time and he can play with these guys." Master of Law who has now won three of six seasonal outings is owned by Lindy Racing Stable, Brittany Farms, Adam Victor & Son, and Christina Takter. The gelded son of Deweycheatumnhowe-Posses The Magic has now won nine of 17 lifetime outings and pushed his career bankroll to $331,753. "My owners wanted me to drive this horse," Takter continued. "He is kind of a one man show, you can't rush him. I've only had him for a little while but I really like this horse. He's only four and he is staked to everything, so We Will See." Master of Law Takter also scored another training win on the 14-race card with his two-year-old trotting filly Speak To Me in one of two divisions of the $154,150 Kentuckiana Stallion Management. With driver Brett Miller in the bike, Speak To Me recovered from a break in the final turn to stop the timer in 1:55.2, a new track record at Hoosier Park for two-year-old trotting fillies. The second division of Kentuckiana Stallion Management stakes action for freshman trotting fillies went to Livininthefastlane and driver Tim Tetrick in 1:56. Trained by Julie Miller, the daughter of Donato Hanover-Nicole's Promise was able to score from off the pace to record her third win of the season. Live racing at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino will continue on Tuesday, September 23 with a 14-race card. With a daily post time of 5:15 p.m., the live racing schedule will follow a Tuesday through Saturday schedule and be conducted through November 15. Emily Gaskin
LEXINGTON, KY-- Freshmen filly trotters gathered for four divisions of the Kindergarten Classic Series at The Red Mile on Thursday, September 18. The fourth preliminary of the harness racing series attracted 38 contestants for purses totaling to $40,000. Allerage Star, despite galloping at the start, recovered nearly 13 lengths to weave past rivals and get a nose in front of Saturday Mornings and Cocoacabana in 1:56.2. Cocoacabana was the pacesetter with Sweet Thing and Fly Angel Fly sitting behind. She set fractions of :29.1 and :57.4 (:28.3). Challenged around the far turn by Sweet Thing, Cocoacabana remained in control as the backfield approached. Fanning three wide came Fly Angel Fly, with Lady Winona four wide and Saturday Mornings five wide. After a 1:27.3 (:29.4) third-quarter, Saturday Mornings rallied down the center of the course, while Allerage Star strolled onto the scene from in-between horses. Cocoacabana battled Allerage Star and Saturday Mornings up to the finish, where Allerage Star got a nose in front, going a mile in 1:56.2 (:28.4). Returning $3.20 to win, the daughter of Angus Hall-Starry Eyed-Muscles Yankee is owned by Little E LLC, Jason Settlemoir, A. Geiger and D. Stolz, trained by Jessica Okusko and Corey Callahan was aboard. Lilu Hanover rebounded after failing as the favorite in last week's prelim with a 1:55.3 victory over 24-1 Annaliina. Scott Zeron piloted Lilu Hanover to the front, while Aarena Hanover gunned for the pocket from post 10. Lilu Hanover set a opening quarter of :27.4. She remained uncontested through a :57.3 (:29.4) half. Rules Of The Road was flushed first over entering the far turn, with Annaliina drafting 2 ¾ lengths off the lead. Rules Of The Road remained at Lilu Hanover's throat through a 1:27 (:28.2) third-quarter. Kicking to a 2-length lead into the stretch, Lilu Hanover kept to her task as Annaliina gradually progressed towards the leader. Starting her bid a few yards too late, Lilu Hanover had a neck advantage at the wire over Annaliina, with Waiting Room and Lady Clarabella rounding out the top four respectively. Owned by Marvin Katz and Al Libfeld, the daughter of Andover Hall-Lady Luck Hanover-Donerail paid $5.00 to win. Sarcy, upon brushing to the top after the first quarter, led the field to the finish in 1:55.3. Bright Baby Blues swept across the track to claim command around the first turn, while Josie's Joy sat the pocket and Sarcy trotted third. After a :28.2 quarter, Jimmy Takter pulled Sarcy two wide to claim command before three-eighths. She was uncontested at the half, timed in :57.1 (:28.4). Sarcy remained unchallenged around the far turn. Bright Baby Blues, stalking from the pocket, tipped first over at three-quarters, with Josie's Joy and Armatrading tracking her move. Timed in 1:26.1 (:29), Sarcy remained in control. Despite bids from Bright Baby Blues, Josie's Joy, Armatrading and Fashion Lover in the late stages of the mile, Sarcy held command and sailed to a 1:55.3 (:29.2) victory; Fashion Lover finished second, Armatrading was third and Josie's Joy was fourth. Sarcy, sent off the second choice, is owned by Christina Takter and John and Jim Fielding and trained by Jimmy Takter. The Donato Hanover-Southwind Allaire-Valley Victory daughter paid $7.20 to win. Bee The Queen, entering off a 30-1 upset in the Kindergarten last week, was victorious at odds of 1/5 in 1:56.1. Catherine's Melody showed early speed, while Bee The Queen floated towards the front, and Bright Eyes sat behind in third. The opening quarter was timed in :29.3. Bee The Queen made her move before the half, trying to sweep around Catherine's Melody as Bright Eyes, Flirting Filly and Shafina Hanover began their bids. Bee The Queen had a head in front through a :58.3 (:29) half. Although Flirting Filly broke traveling first over, Shafina Hanover made her way to Bee The Queen's wheel through a 1:26.1 (:27.3) third-quarter. Corey Callahan pulled the plugs on Bee The Queen and she kicked 3 lengths clear of Shafina Hanover, Bright Eyes and Catherine's Melody, and eventually winning by 3 ½ lengths in 1:56.1 (:30). A daughter of Donato Hanover-Bee Line-Self Possessed, Bee The Queen is owned by Alfred Ross and is trained by George Ducharme. She returned $2.60 to win. Bee The Queen extended her lead on the Kindergarten leaderboard with 158 points, with Allerage Star second with 125 points and Lady Clarabella in third with 111 points. Live racing resumes at The Red Mile on Thursday, September 25, with the Grand Circuit meeting, commencing with the $300,000 Bluegrass for two-year-old filly trotters. Declaration time is 9:30 A.M. on Monday, September 22. By Ray Cotolo, for The Red Mile
Delaware, OH --- Wild Honey trotted the fastest mile in history by a 2-year-old trotter on a half-mile racetrack Wednesday (Sept. 17) at the Delaware County Fair, winning the second $32,323 division of the Standardbred Stakes for 2-year-old female trotters in 1:55.2. The recently crowned Pennsylvania Sire Stakes champion left no doubt about the race's outcome, leading from start to finish at odds of 1-9. The fractions were :28.4, :57.3 and 1:25.4 with driver Yannick Gingras at the lines for trainer Jimmy Takter. Hot Start finished second by 7-3/4 lengths and Gee O'Keeffe was third. Wild Honey's performance erased one of trotting's oldest records from the books. She eclipsed the previous best time of 1:56.3 by a 2-year-old female trotter on a half-mile track set by CR Kay Suzie on Sept. 21, 1994 at Freehold Raceway. The only trotting record to stand longer is Pine Chip's 1:54 time for a 4-year-old male trotter on a half-mile oval, set on Sept. 18, 1994 at Delaware. In addition, Wild Honey bettered the mark of 1:55.3, set by colt Dontyouforgetit in 2012 at Delaware, for the fastest ever half-mile time by any 2-year-old trotter. Wild Honey is trained by Jimmy Takter, as was Dontyouforgetit. A daughter of Cantab Hall out of the mare U Wanna Lindy, Wild Honey is owned by Christina Takter, John Fielding, Herb Liverman, and Jim Fielding. She was purchased for $35,000 under the name Can Can Lindy at the Lexington Selected Sale. Her family includes 1994 Hambletonian winner Victory Dream. Wild Honey has won six consecutive races since finishing second by a head to Gatka Hanover in her debut. She has earned $271,031. "She won all of her (PA Sire Stakes) legs and had just one defeat by a (head) in her first lifetime start," said trainer Jimmy Takter. "She's just a tough filly. She's got it. She's the real deal." Takter said Wild Honey is on her way to Lexington for the Grand Circuit meet next week. "When I got a first quarter of :28.4, I thought it would be hard for anybody to beat her in here," said driver Yannick Gingras. "At the five-eighths I just let her roll along. I didn't really 'let her go,' I just let her do what she wanted to do. The 1:55.2 was all her. The plugs were still in. I didn't dig into her. She could have gone in (1):54 and change." Sweet Shurga and driver Ron Pierce charged through the stretch and overcame favorite Smokinmombo in the final strides to win the first $32,323 division of the Standardbred Stakes. Smokinmombo, driven by Aaron Merriman, led for nearly the entire race after vanquishing Avalon Hall in a battle for the top spot coming off the first turn. Sweet Shurga was third until the final turn when Pierce moved to the outside and followed Dancewithme Chuck into the stretch. From there, Sweet Shurga cruised past her foes to reach the finish line in 2:00. Sent off at odds of 17-1, the daughter of Donato Hanover-Sweet American paid $36 to win. Sweet American is a full sister to 1993 Hambletonian winner American Winner. Smokinmombo finished second, followed by Dancewithme Chuck and Yanks Ball Girl. The fractions were :28.3, :59.3 and 1:29.3. Sweet Shurga has won two of four races and earned $19,629 for owner Bob Key and trainer Norm Parker. "She's a green filly of Mr. Key's," said trainer Norm Parker. "She goes back to the family of American Winner. (Mr. Key) always liked that family. I liked her when I got her. Paul Reid trained her in Florida. When I got her she was really green. "Her manners are her biggest problem. She's very temperamental, but I think she's going to be a nice filly. "(Since her break on Aug. 20) we did some field time. In her last race at The Meadows, Dickie Stillings took good care of her. I just did the same thing -- gave her some field time and thought I'd bring her here and give her a shot." by Ken Weingartner with Kimberly French & TJ Burkett/USTA
Sweden's Ed You benefitted from a masterful drive by Torbjorn Jansson to storm home past compatriot Mosaique Face to became the third winner of the Group 1 UET Trotting Masters Final (500,000 euros) at Denmark's Charlottenlund racetrack. Three of the top four UET Masters' Series ranked Swedish horses were in the field for the 2500m race including French-trained Commander Crowe (Juliano Star), in his very last start of stellar career in Europe before embarking on a swansong to the Untied States Indeed it was Fabrice Soulouy's 11-year-old chestnut who began the fastest holding off Ed You (Love You) in the initial speed duel, the latter settling into the trail. Into the straight for the first time Europe's highest ranked horse Timoko (Imoko) of France sprinted up from the back to try and outflank Commander Crowe, but was forced to sit parked and then ended up in the one-one when Lutfi Kolgjini moved up with last year's Swedish TravDerby winner Mosaïque Face(Classic Photo) a lap out. Commander Crowe kept up the tempo as Mosaïque Face applied the pressure and the two accelerated out of the turn of the back straight for the last time, with Prussia (Ken Warkentin) and Solvato (Donato Hanover) also sprinting hard three and four wide turning for home. Timoko found himself in a difficult position as these attacks occurred, unable to move out and and lost ground and momentum. In the home straight, Commander Crowe's brave bid faded as Mosaique Face got to the front but Jansson found room to get Ed You off the fence, and used the kinder inside run to his advantage to get by Mosaïque Face with a irresistible burst. Canaka B.F. (Jobie Tempest) found room on the inside ahead of Commander Crowe to grab third just ahead of Timoko, who came on strongly with a stayer's run for fourth. For Ed You, a late bloomer and controversial winner in July of the prestigious Hugo Abergs Memorial after Un Mec d'Héripré's disqualication, this was best result of his career. He is trained by the Swede Robert Bergh. In the supporting N.J. Kosters Memorial Fredrik Solberg's BBS Sugarlight (Super Light) shot out of the gate to take a lead he never relinquished. From ther Peter Untersteiner took control of the race from the front with Amour Rapide (Love You) and top Swedish driver Johnny Takter in the bike settling into the trail. Untersteiner released the brakes off BBS Sugarlight at the top of the final bend and he responded superbly and cruised to the line with ease, covering the 1600m journey in a 1.12.0 kilometre rate (1.55.8MR). Flemming Jensen's veteran warhorse O'Grady (SJ's Photo) who had sat second-over for most of the race, charged home to nose out Amour Rapide for second money. The previous day at Vincennes, there were two national Group ones, the most prestigious races on the French calendar, with a placing from first to seventh enough to earn prestigious black type in France and coveted Classique status. In the Prix de l'Etoile, an intergenerational race over the Vincennes sprint distance of 2150m, which brings the cream of the 3, 4 and 5 year-old crops together in a handicap setting similar to weight for age racing, Brillantissime (Ready Cash) and Black d'Avril (Oceano Nox ) fought for the early lead, with the inside horse handing up to Brillantissime before the turn into the Joinville plain. Favourite Biche des Clos (Rolling d'Heripre ) moved up prominent outside Brillantissime up the hill and these two led the field down the sweeping turn and into the front straight. Biche des Clos poured on the pressure and Brillantissime could not respond, while Black D'Avril pulled out of the trail and once clear showed terrific acceleration to swoop past Biche des Clos and claim the coveted Group one. Former age group star Billie de Montfort (Jasmin de Flore ) nabbed Brillantissime on the line for third place. The Prix d'Normandie, one of the top three monte races in the world, for 5YOs, is raced over 3000m for 240,000 euros and here it was Vittel de Brevol (Jag de Bellouet) who took control of the race down the straight for the first time, while hot favourite Vision Intense (Prodigious) got parked three wide and five back. At the top of the hill David Thomain pressed the go button on Vittel de Brevol and by the crossroads where the flat inside floodlit track joins the "grand piste" had slipped clear by seven lengths. Vittel de Brevol still had a handy lead into the straight and though Vision Intense tried desperately to close the gap, the line came up too quickly. Valse Castelets was a long way back third ahead of Viva Forest. The winner recorded a slick 1.13,9 (1.58.9MR) for the 3000m, just a little outside Prince Gede's record 1.13.6 (1.58.4MR) which was set in 2009. Courtesy Of Harness Racing New Zealand

Gear Question
Will these load stops fit onto a 1998 chevy...
Stephen Poovey
Member since
Will these load stops fit onto a 1998 chevy suburban with a stock roof rack?
Member since
Yakima round bars are 1 1/8" in diameter. You'll have to measure your roof bars to see if they will fit. Also, I think you will have to be able to remove one end of the bar to slide the bracket over it, but I'm not positive on that.
John O'Bryan
Member since
I just talked to Yakima because I was worried that I would have to remove one end of the bars to mount the load stops, but you do not. The loadstop flexes enough to go right over the bar without having to slide in from the end.

I like how these items are displayed. Looks like cement walls. old chair and old table on wheels...See the three basic sizes...large medium small.Also a repeat of three. Three items. Three items on the table. Three wheels. Also if you look at what is actually in this display you see an odd number of eye catchers. 1 the table. 2. the items on the table 3. the chair. 4. the gray wall and 5. the floor. Notice that these are all neutral colors and all warm colors. The yellow in the chair is also in the table and a shade of the floor. The lighting makes the image look almost misty and romantic in a way.

The Minnesota History Center will open a new exhibit next month examining the US Dakota War of 1862. Hundreds of whites and Dakota died in the six weeks of violence rooted in conflict over federal payments and starvation among the Indians. The war led to the largest mass execution in US history, with the hangings of 38 Dakota men in Mankato on December 26th, 1862. Minnesota Historical Society director Steve Elliott says the new exhibit is a "search for truth" that draws on many perspectives and conflicting interpretations. Researchers met with Dakota people and settler descendants and examined original documents, letters, diaries and artifacts to put together a narrative. The exhibit opens June 30th in St. Paul. The Brown County Historical Society is also working on a new exhibit being unveiled later this summer to mark the 150th anniversary of the conflict.

So, I have never had mead. I bought some Redstone mead at the advice of the liquor store guy.
It had what I can only describe as a bit of medicinal flavor. Is this typical of mead, or just commerical mead?
never had that, but most of what I've read about commercial meads is that they either suck, or really pale in comparison to traditionally made craft meads.
I do have a bottle of Chaucer's mead at home (with a spice packet) as I've heard its one of the least obnoxious commercial meads.
The medicinal flavor you taste is a young Mead. Every mead I make goes through this stage but mellows it out after a few months. Don't know what the ABV is on that but meads get that flavor with higher ABV also.
Depending on the brand and age a mead will change, this is true for both commercal and homebrews. Usually the traditional meads that are a bit dry will the mouthwash or medicinal taste for 6 months to a year. The sweeter meads don't usually have this or it is masked by the extra honey that is added. Chaucer's is a great sweet mead. It is on the boarder of dessert wine however.
You might want to try a Melomel, fruit mead, as they tend to be really good young.
thanks for the info though. at least now I can lower my expectations appropriately when I crack it open.
Redstone turns their meads around very fast, which might explain the young quality. I've had their traditional and thought the same thing, a clean mead but a bit medicinal. They filter it and then bottle, but don't age.
If you get their blackberry nectar (melomel) it is amazing, highly carbonated and deemed without a doubt liquid-panty-remover. Its a lower alcohol mead and the carbonation mixed with the fruit mask any deficiencies.
All this said, Redstone is the best mead I've had to date (with the exception of the homebrew mead I had that got me into this whole thing). Only problem is the price, its so damn expencive on the east coast!
I made my first mead at a brew meet of the local club on national mead day last Aug
there were a dozen folks there making mead and everyone had samples of what they had made the year before
they were all quite tasty, some straight meads, some mixed with various stuff
I chose to make my first batch a straight mead since it's what I liked best
I've never tasted a commercial mead but I can say hand crafted stuff is excellent
Redstone had a dry-hopped mead at GABF...ech...not a good idea.

Optional: You can enter notes about this product below. If you do not wish to add notes, click the 'Add' button.
This lip mask has a rich, balm-like texture intended to be a leave-on treatment for replenishing the lips. If you can resist the urge to lick it off (the sweet agave and vanilla flavoring makes it tempting, but at least these flavoring agents aren't irritants), the result is major hydration to heal dry, flaking, chapped lips.
Agave Lip Mask comes in a metal squeeze tube from which you can apply directly onto the lips. The pleasantly smooth, non-sticky formula is rich in lanolin, plant oils, and waxes, all of which have emollient properties and help prevent moisture loss.
This also contains a blend of antioxidants, and, true to its name, agave. There's nothing advantageous about agave for the skin or for the lips; we suspect they added it for a marketing spin and to give the product a sweet taste.
Bite Beauty also makes a big deal about this containing enough resveratrol to provide "antioxidant benefits equivalent to 15 glasses of red wine." That's a really silly claim given that the amount of resveratrol differs from one wine to another, and wine actually contains only a tiny amount in comparison to resveratrol supplements.
Resveratrol is a good antioxidant, when applied topically or when consumed; just don't get caught up in thinking it will work wonders for your lips. Clearly, they're capitalizing on a buzz ingredient here—and skin care, especially for the lips, is never as simple as any one ingredient, however good it may be.
Nevertheless, Agave Lip Mask really does pack a punch of hydration to heal and soften dry, chapped lips (albeit at a steep price). See our Best Lip Products list for less expensive options.
Lanolin, Organic Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Organic Agave Tequilana (Blue Agave) Nectar, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Unsaponifiables, Organic Cera Alba (Beeswax), Flavor, Vanillin, Siraitia Grosvenori (Monk Fruit), Vanilla Tahitensis (Vanilla) Fruit Extract, Organic Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Trans-Resveratrol, Vitis Vinefera (Grape) Oil, Tocopherol Acetate, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil.
As a nice change of pace (and as mentioned above), the majority of Bite Beauty's formulas do indeed contain natural ingredients that are beneficial (or at least not harmful) for the skin and lips. The exception is the Cinnamon Plumping Lip Oil, which contains an irritating amount of peppermint oil. The preponderance of natural ingredients doesn't make these products inherently better, but if a product being "all" natural is important to you, then you should know that some of the Bite Beauty products contain synthetic coloring agents.
Bite Beauty takes things even further, saying that their products are "healthy enough to eat" (hence the name Bite Beauty). We certainly don't recommend eating your cosmetics; just because an ingredient comes from a natural source and is then formulated into a cosmetic doesn't mean it's edible!
As a matter of fact, Bite Beauty's naturally flavored products make it tempting to lick your lips, which in the long run can lead to chapping and a cycle of constantly applying more flavored lip balm, licking it off, then feeling the urgent need to apply more—and none of these lip products should be eaten. For vegans, you should be aware that some of these products contain lanolin, which is an animal-derived ingredient. There's nothing wrong with lanolin, but a cosmetics company selling their products as edible should be more forthcoming with this issue for those who wish to avoid animal-derived ingredients.
Another big marketing ploy is Bite Beauty's claims about their products containing the antioxidant resveratrol, in amounts equivalent to five, ten, or fifteen glasses of red wine, depending on the particular product. This is a meaningless claim, and here's why: First, we hope they don't mean a dual benefit; that is, being able to eat your lipstick and get resveratrol onto your lips and into your body. Second, while resveratrol is a great antioxidant, how much you need to gain a health benefit is unclear from the research. Third, the amount of resveratrol in an average glass of red wine ranges from 0.2 to 2.0 mg, which isn't much. Plus, if you want resveratrol, you can buy resveratrol supplements that contain 100–500 mg per capsule!
In short, resveratrol is a good antioxidant, when applied topically or when consumed; just don't get caught up in thinking it will work wonders for your lips. Clearly, Bite Beauty is capitalizing on a buzz ingredient here—and skin care, especially for the lips, is never as simple as one ingredient, however good it may be.
Those issues aside, in terms of performance, Bite Beauty does have some standout products, including their richly pigmented Cashmere Lip Cream. The price point is on the high end for lip care (you can find less expensive options on our Best Lip Products list); you certainly don't have to pay this much to get a good lipstick or gloss. However, if the price isn't an issue for you, and you find the allure of natural ingredients hard to resist, then this line is worth checking out.
Bite Beauty is sold exclusively at Sephora; the brand also has a flagship store in New York.

I would recommend this product. It feels wonderful on dry lips. It is worth the price and it taste yummy to. It really does condition and moisturize dry lips
I live at high elevation so chapping is an issue all year long. The Lip Mask does a great job of keeping my lips soft and hydrated. I will repurchase for certain. I agree with another reviewer that the tube requires some muscle. The applicator design could be better - it's a small, flat hole covered in foil that you puncture with the inverted screw top upon first use - it's not as comfortable as a typical, angled plastic squeeze-tube applicator.
The product itself is wonderful. The packaging terrible. I have arthritis amend find it very difficult to squeeze the product out. Probably will not purchase again unless the packaging is changed.
I love the idea of slathering something thick and hydrating on at night and waking up with the softest lips ever. This lip mask does that. It's perfect for applying on right after using a lipscrub! A little goes a long way so one tube will last a very long time. It's definitely worth the money and has wonderful results!

Deere, Frontline: Premarket Trading
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) --
Deere (DE) shares were flat at $76.41 in premarket trading Wednesday after the farm equipment maker swung to a profit in its fiscal fourth quarter, reporting net income of $457.2 million, or $1.07 a share.
The Wall Street consensus estimate for the quarter was earnings of 94 cents a share.
Shares of Frontline (FRO) were falling 4.1% to $26.61 as the company said it expects to see continued weakness in tanker rates amid an oversupply of ships and a still vulnerable economy.
Shares of Deutsche Bank (DB) were down 0.8% to $51.79. The company said cost-cutting activities for its global wealth-management operations were complete.
Tiffany (TIF) shares rose in premarket trading Wednesday as the luxury retailer reported that third-quarter net earnings rose 27% from a year earlier. Tiffany shares rose $1.68, or 2.9%, to $59.95.
SAP's (SAP) American depositary receipts were falling 2.2% to $47.61 in premarket trading after the company was ordered by a court to pay rival Oracle (ORCL) $1.3 billion after losing a copyright infringement case. Oracle shares were rising by 1.8% to $27.68. SAP said the verdict won't impact its full-year outlook.
Gilead Sciences (GILD) on Tuesday said that it asked the Food and Drug Administration to approve a single pill combining its Truvada HIV treatment and Tibotec Pharmaceuticals' HIV treatment. According to findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Gilead's Truvada drug reduces HIV risk by 44%. According to Bloomberg, the findings could help the company add $1 billion to its revenue. Shares of Gilead Sciences rose 52 cents, or 1.4%, to $37.50 in premarket trading Wednesday.
Bank of Ireland (IRE) shares were plunging by 23.5% to $1.30 in premarket trading on news that the Irish government could take control of the nation's last independent bank. The news came as Ireland seeks aid from the European Union for its troubled financial sector.

About Teaching Principle 5
Environmental observations are the foundation for understanding the climate system. From the bottom of the ocean to the surface of the Sun, instruments on weather stations, buoys, satellites, and other platforms collect climate data. To learn about past climates, scientists use natural records, such as tree rings, ice cores, and sedimentary layers. Historical observations, such as native knowledge and personal journals, also document past climate change.

The earth's climates have changed in the past, are currently changing, and are expected to change in the future, primarily due to changes in the amount of light reaching places on the earth and the composition of the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels in the last century has increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which has contributed to Earth's warming.

Technical Details
Teaching Tips
- The data for this graphic is available for download and teachers have the ability to have students reinforce graphing skills.
- As the figure does not have a real caption, it is important to explain to the students that this is globally averaged data from instruments around the world, plotted over time, as calculated by four different research groups.
- This link below provides context and discussion about how the global land surface temperature fits in with records from other climatic indicators on a global scale and may be quite useful (see page S26):http://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/cmb/bams-sotc/2009/bams-sotc-2009-chapter2-global-climate-lo-rez.pdf
About the Science
- Four different studies of land surface temperature plotted on the same graph. Raw data can be accessed and downloaded for each one.
- Source is the American Meteorological Society State of the Climate Report.
- More updated data should be provided to update the series data into 2012.
- Comments from expert scientist: Provides a nice publicly accessible source for Land Surface Air Temperature record going back before 1980.
About the Pedagogy
- The graph is bright, colorful, and easy to see clearly.
- Students can stretch the x-axis and y-axis with a bit of difficulty, and thereby zoom in on the data.
- Each line on the graph corresponds to a name above the graph, and by mousing over the name, one can see the citation of the study from which the numbers were drawn. This could be useful for higher level students who could compare the approaches of developing these global data sets and limitations to these approaches.
- By clicking on the name (of the graphed line), one is taken to a new webpage where the data are. This means that students can access the data and plot it themselves.
Technical Details/Ease of Use
- For each dataset, one value is plotted for each year in the period of record. For datasets with multiple values in one year, an average is calculated for one annual value. This must be explicitly reinforced with students when analyzing the graphic. Missing annual values are interpolated between non-missing values. Younger students may not be familiar with data represented this way.
- Links to original data publications provided for higher level students to download the entire data set from that source.
- Zooming and pan feature for graphic does not work well.
