I always love seeing footage from this race in Italy.

The 2014 Surf City Cyclocross Finals
Words and photos by Brian Vernor
My own history of racing cyclocross with the Surf City Cyclocross Series is too long to recount in a short article. In brief, Surf City Cyclocross is why I made my first film, Pure Sweet Hell (which premiered ten years ago this month), and why I have kept cyclocross near to my heart since my first race as a junior in 1993.
There are many heartlands of cyclocross. I've been to Belgium, Spain, Holland, Japan, and all over the United States, searching for the best action, beautiful courses, and the cult-like communities which make up the cross scene in each of those unique cyclocross heartlands. I appreciate all of them, but I appreciate none of them more than my own scene. That's how it should be. People here in Santa Cruz have doggedly stuck to the core of what is cyclocross in America. Cyclocross is a contradiction; it sucks to do, and it's glorious to have done it. Cyclocross will never have the audience and participation of football, basketball, or baseball, though we involved are always trying to grow it while keeping it true. Truth comes first and growth comes second.
You'll have to excuse the excess in this photo gallery. There are a lot of shots in here.
Now that I stated the obvious, here's even more… In Texas, we don't get much rain, nor do we get many rainy cross races. So when the sky opens and the mud builds up, don't be surprised to see file tread tires and Red cassettes in the staging areas.
Like house cats, having escaped for the weekend, a lot of people got quite the shock when every corner was suddenly slick and every descent, a myriad of dark brown ruts, with no grass to grip for traction.
Saturday's race has been called the best of the season. A lotta climbing, as much descending. All in glorious mud. As the afternoon went on, it got worse and by the time the B's raced – which is what I was in – it was pouring on us. Things didn't go so well and I didn't shoot many photos of Saturday's race, but Sunday. Sunday was a blast.
New course, still just as muddy, with a run up that some of us rode and yes, plenty of pain…
Read along in the captions and enjoy the Gallery!
If you're going to the races tomorrow in LA, do a few things for me: say hi to Tenspeed Hero, High Five any and all Mudfoot racers, check out Cadence's pop-up at the Greek theater and swing by Golden Saddle afterwards!
I'd say this is the best RHC Milano video to date, but I wish they interviewed more women about their criterium. Where's Ash Duban?! Regardless, it's a well put together documentary about a race that began illegally in the backstreets of Red Hook and eventually, Milano.
Iowa's Mt. Krumpit and Jingle Cross
Photos and words by Andy Bokanev
"And they told you Iowa was flat," it was before noon and I'm pretty sure the beer the dude was holding was not his first. His geographically themed heckle was aimed at a random backmarker struggling his way up Mt. Krumpit with the "why I am doing this?" look painted all over his face. This was just one of many similar experiences this weekend at Jingle Cross hosted in Iowa City, Iowa.
The three day race kicked off under the lights on Friday evening in freezing conditions with the temperatures hovering in the mid teens. Saturday brought about more cold and snow just in time for the UCI C1 race. It continued snowing through the night so when everyone showed up for a the last day of racing the ground was completely covered in the white stuff eventually giving way to a thin layer of mud.
Some observations:
-Caroline Mani from not wearing any leg warmers. There is no amount of vaseline and embro in the world that would convince me to do the same.
-The race is extremely well organized featuring one of the best (if not THEE best) cyclocross course in the United States. If there is one race that deserves World Cup status, this is it
-Just like bottled water on hot and humid days there is a tariff on hot chocolate on extremely cold days. The going price for a cup of hot chocolate on Sunday was $6
-It not as cold when it's snowing
-The course layout was different all three days which kept things interesting and challenging
-People in Iowa love pizza
So do not let the weather scare you, Jingle Cross is absolutely worth the travel.

After a warrant went out for Russell Brand's arrest earlier Thursday over a photographer's claim that he grabbed a cellphone and threw it through a window, Brand turned himself in to a New Orleans police department. He currently remains in custody.
RELATED VIDEO: Get the scoop on Brand's arrest
According to a TMZ report, Brand snatched a paparazzo's cellphone from his car when the man began to film him, and threw the phone through the window of a nearby building on Monday night.

Brand has yet to make an official statement regarding the incident but made reference to it in a comedic tone on Twitter, writing, "Since Steve Jobs died I cannot bear to see anyone use an iphone irreverently, what I did was a tribute to his memory."

The MOF has recently approved the opening of three offices by KPMG Huazhen (Special General Partnership) in Chengdu, Xiamen and Qingdao. Localisation has been one of the basic strategies of KPMG China's operations.
The award recognises a select number of leading professional firms and advisers that have performed to exceptional levels, even during the most difficult period that the global economy has experienced for decades.
What start-ups need to consider? Where to get access to information? What events they can consider to attend?
Despite rising costs in China and the subsequent implications for manufacturers, a unique mix of factors is prompting new value propositions in the country as companies re-align strategies and adapt to changing economic conditions.
The content is based on the responses of 213 senior business decision-makers across five key countries: Australia, China, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore. It analyses the state of D&A maturity across the Asia-Pacific region.
KPMG China offers a broad ranging financial risk management (FRM) service. We help banks, insurance companies, asset managers and corporate and public clients identify, assess, manage, report and limit the risks they face.
Global concerns about financial risk have been increasing in the light of growing volatility and uncertainty in global financial markets. In this climate, enterprises of all kinds and sizes want robust financial risk management frameworks that satisfy compliance demands, contribute to better decision making, enhance performance and help maintain the enterprise's good reputation. KPMG China's FRM professionals work with financial institutions and other corporate and public clients to attain these objectives.
Credit risk, liquidity risk, the risks of issuing or dealing in financial instruments and the risks inherent in treasury operations are just some of the financial issues that are a concern for businesses. The challenge is compounded by an increasingly demanding and complex regulatory environment.
This brochure provides an overview of the services offered by KPMG China's finance and treasury management.

Tactical Pants - Galls A popular choice for public safety professionals, the Galls Tactical Pants are...
So because every cop can't get a sneak peek at the latest police firearms on the floor of a major trade show, POLICE offers you this roundup of some of the latest in law enforcement tools.
Editor's Note: On Nov. 30, 2003, three officers of the Cincinnati Police Department were called to the parking lot of one of the city's many White Castle restaurants. There they found an immense 41-year-old man named Nathaniel Jones who was scaring the restaurant's employees with his bizarre behavior.
When the Cincinnati Police Department decided to equip all of its patrol officers with X26 Tasers, department brass had to establish policy for use of the conductive weapons. After studying the research assembled by Specialist John Rose, Chief Thomas Streicher Jr. decided that the Cincinnati PD would place Tasers right after verbal commands in the department's force continuum.
Making an arrest, engaging in a traffic contact, and intervening on the scene of domestic mayhem are, statistically, among the most dangerous things you can do. Make an error in your handling of one of these and you should anticipate a really bad day.
My grasp of the obvious is on display for all to see with the following statement. Good marksmanship is a characteristic that is very desirable for a law enforcement officer. There, I said it. And someone should write it down. Oops, never mind, I just did.
I would urge all officers to take a closer look at their holsters and what they need from their holsters.
Almost every veteran cop has either experienced an accidental discharge or been around when one happened to a fellow officer. Accidental discharges happen. But any time a firearm goes off accidentally it can lead to tragedy.
The folks at SIG have done it again. Not content to have one of the classic designs in police autopistols in their "P-series" double-action models, they have rocked the boat by introducing their own 1911 platform.
Known for its innovations in tactical, weapons-mounted, and personal light technology, SureFire is now producing a line of high-quality, heavy-duty knives.
The M1A SOCOM can supply well-directed heavy fire from an easy-to-use, cop-friendly platform.

This easy quick bread recipe was inspired by my childhood snack of cheese and apples. It bakes up with lots of cheesy pockets, moist apples, and a little bit of sage to round out the flavors. Serve a slice with a bowl of Celery Root Soup or toasted with butter as part of a weekend brunch.
Special equipment: You will need a metal 9-by-5-inch loaf pan for this recipe. Loaf pans can be purchased at most cooking supply stores and at many large grocery stores.
What to buy: Irish cheddar, often labeled Kerrygold or Dubliner, is an aged cow's milk cheese that has the sharpness of cheddar combined with the hard, crumbly texture of Parmesan. You can find it in the dairy section of most well-stocked grocery stores or online.
Game plan: You can also use this recipe to bake savory muffins instead of bread—just use a standard 12-well muffin pan. Coat the wells with butter and bake the muffins at 350°F until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pan and finish cooling on a wire rack.
This recipe was featured as part of our 5 Savory Quick Breads for Fall Baking.
- 1Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Generously coat a metal 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter.
- 2Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and sage together in a large bowl until aerated and any large lumps are broken up. Add the diced and shredded cheese and toss until the pieces are separated and evenly coated with the flour mixture; set aside.
- 3Place the eggs, milk, and melted butter in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the apples and stir until combined. Add the egg mixture to the flour-cheese mixture and stir until the flour is just incorporated, being careful not to overmix (a few streaks of flour are OK). The batter will be very thick.
- 4Using a rubber spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared pan, pushing it into the corners and smoothing the top. Bake until the bread is golden brown all over and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (test several spots because you may hit a pocket of cheese), about 45 to 50 minutes.
- 5Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the perimeter of the bread and turn it out onto the rack. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes more before slicing.

Senlis Things to Do
This was a building that caught my attention in Senlis. It was different to the other old buildings, in that the stone work of orange & cream gave a chequered effect. It isn't the original station, as that was burnt by German troop's in 1914, and then demolished. The new building was built in 1922. In 1950, the rail passenger rail service closed,...

Senlis Off The Beaten Path
Crepiy-en-Valois is a "cite medieval" and is located only 27kms from Senlis. I think it is worth a visit. This old town, sits in a pretty position, high on a prominent piece of land. Houses date to the 14th & 18th centuries, many built by Royal officials. There's a Castle, Ramparts, Abbey, several Churches and a Museum on Archery.

To meet demand, I have purchased 2 additional 4.7 cores in addition to the cores we already have in our inventory. This may not sound like much but having these extra few will allow for shorter and more consistent turnaround time.

arrest database
NFL PLAYER ARRESTS: SHOWING 2 Record(s)
Date | Team | Name | POS | Case | Category | Description | Outcome |
2003-05-25 | WAS | Jermaine Haley | DT | Arrested | DUI | Pulled over in Miami, accused of drunk driving and property damage after hitting another car with his Land Rover. | Pleaded no contest to reduced charge of reckless driving, one year probation, ordered to donate $3,000. |
2003-04-27 | WAS | Bruce Smith | DE | Arrested | DUI | Pulled over for speeding in Virginia Beach, accused of drunk driving and failing a sobriety test. Blood-alcohol measured at .07. | Acquitted by judge. |
These are arrests, charges and citations of NFL players for crimes more serious than common traffic violations. Almost all of the players belonged to an NFL roster at the time of the incident. In rare cases, a free agent is included only if that player later signs with an NFL team. The data comes from media reports and public records. It cannot be considered fully complete because records of some player arrests might not have been found for various reasons, including lack of media coverage or accessible public records. Many resolutions to these cases also are pending or could not be immediately found. The database was conceived and created by sports writer Brent Schrotenboer, who can be reached at email@example.com. Please contact him with any updates or inquiries.

Looking for some suggestions for interesting ways to get across Mississippi and Louisiana later this Spring. I will be meandering across Florida to about as far as Panama City and then angling up across the toe of Alabama. The ultimate target is North Texas after a foray into Arkansas, but have plenty of time to meander across states. I've never ridden in either state so any suggestions will be helpful.

Discontinued? What?? I actually was able to get my hands on this blush after patiently waiting for Sephora to restock. Gorgeous, gorgeous blush..basically everything Tarte Exposed wasn't...more brown and less pink and everything MAC's Blushbaby lacked..pigmentation and longevity. I prefer this to NARS Madly due to the absence of shimmer. This is a completely matte true pink brown blush that's very flattering to my NC25 skin tone. It can double up as a bronzer if you're more fair. At first, the product doesn't pick up much but it is buildable. Douceur and Sin is my favorite blush of all time. What would I do without you NARS? Get your hands on this before it's sold out again (it can also be found on beauty.com).

I didn't know this product was being discontinued! I bought it during the Sephora sale and just wore it for the first time. It is sooooo pretty. Sophisticated and subdued, but really gives a polished look. No glitter or shimmer, so great for when a matte blush is preferred. I love all of my Nars blushes, this one did not disappoint, I think it will see a lot of use.

I am not a regular blush wearer, I'll usually favour bronzer over blush any day. But Douceur really changed my mind. It adds a bit of healthiness that bronzer can't do alone, but it doesn't scream OMG PEACHY PINK WITH IRIDESCENCE but a subtle whisper of sophistication. It is easy to use, its a sheer formulation unlike other NARS blushes, so I don't have to worry about over doing it. Like my bronzers, this also lends itself as an eyeshadow too; I work a bit of this into the crease to add definition or blow out a dark shade on the lid. This double duty product is a staple in my daily makeup bag in the bleaker months since it looks good with office makeup, dramatic lips, and no-makeup makeup days. Lasting power is so-so, better with a primer underneath, looks natural on my light-medium Asian skin.

Age: 19-24 Skin: Dry, Medium, Warm Hair: Blond Eyes: Green
Nars Douceur is hands down my favourite blush/contour powder. The colour in the pan is one I wasn't naturally drawn to. I usually tend to go for the peachy or pink blush colours, and Douceur is a true dusty rose/brown. As I said, nothing to stunning in the pan, and something I wouldn't have normally gone for. But Douceur is a transformative blush when you put it on your cheeks.
It defines and gives the right amount of colour, and without trying just makes your cheek bones stand out. It definitely is more of a blush and contour in one, because Douceur is the contour colour for girls who find the grey/brown matte contour a bit too much to handle. I would say the colour is comparable to Benefit Dallas, Nars Penny Lane Cream Blush, Tarte Exposed, and Mac Blushbaby.
If you are thinking of purchasing Douceur but don't want to because of its not so stunning pan presence, don;t hesitate because you definitely won't be disappointed. Will always repurchase.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium Hair: Brown Eyes: Hazel
This is probably the most natural blush color you'll ever find, at least if you have fair to medium skin color. I have light to medium skin, but I think this would look the most stunning on very fair/ pale skin tones. The color looks so boring in the pan, but on the skin it comes across as a lovely natural flush, even bordering on an ethereal lit glow.
I own two Nars blushes and I'm astonishingly impresse with both of them1 and I well should be for the $30 price tag!
I will say though- Nars creates unique colors that you really can't find elsewhere, and besides that, the pigmentation and blendability are really what make them worth the price tag. I'll just warn you though- once you have one, you'll just want to keep adding more to your collection!

I am a redhead, blushes never work for me. They pull blue/pink/red, even orange. This, color is amazing - stays true - a nice fleshy neutral. I use it in the contour and, suddenly, my cheekbones pop. Works great with a basic cat eye and fleshy lipstick to create a polished, yet sexy, face.

I was really disappointed in this blush. NARS blushes are usually known for being quite pigmented, this sadly wasn't. I don't know what is going on with NARS. He is making blushes that aren't quite as pigmented as previous blushes, it's like as if he is creating blushes that are only meant for a subtle effect. But why not create pigmented blushes, and just use a light hand? Anyways, unlike the other reviewers here with dark skin, I would not recommend this if you have dark skin, unless a subtle effect is what you are aiming for. This barely shows up on me. Maybe you'll see a slight hint of a pink, but then again barely. Even when you pack it on. I have always wanted a dusty rose blush, but having no such luck with my dark skin. The search is still on.

You don't want pink? You don't want peach or brown? you want something in between.Then Douceur is your blush.Gorgeous colour that will suit most skintones.Compliments any lipstick as it is just that in between. Not matte not glittery just a nice healthy glow.I avoided blush for years as I hate the overdone "dolly" cheek look. But this is perfect, very natural.Love it, must be tried, I doubt if it will disappoint!

If I could only have one blush, Douceur would be it. I've almost used up the one I have and it is my first NARS blush to hit pan on. Douceur incorporates a perfect mix of brown and pink to subtly sculpt my cheekbones and give me a natural hint of color on an otherwise pallid complexion. The texture makes it easy to apply and blend without overdoing it. I can add as much or as little as I want and it still looks flawless. NARS blushes last about 8 hours on me (longer with primer). This is the blush dreams are made of for pale girls!

If inflation is so low, why does everything cost so much ?
As she wheels her cart down supermarket aisles, Barbara Harris is stunned. "When people say that inflation has been checked," says the Los Angeles public relations consultant, "I listen in shock and disbelief. Just today I went across the street to get a loaf of bread, and it was $1.43. I was floored." Although Harris, 40, sticks to a tight budget and avoids stocking up on frills, the weekly grocery bill for her family of three has climbed from $80 to $100 in...

My own opinion is that it is done to make fun of the work done by so many scale builders and when those builders are asked to do such crap with their scale builds, those that ask walk away with a lesser opinion of the piloting skills of those fellows. If you want to do scale, do it. If you want to do 3D, do it. However, do it with the appropriate helicopter. Even one of my club members did this with the same setup as in that video but as usual, destruction did follow. His reason for flying 3D with it is that it infuriates some of the club members when he does it so he would rather do 3D with it than learn the skills to fly it as if it was a full size. The shame of it is that this is all he does with it and I honestly don't even watch him fly it. Scale aerobatics that can be done by the original helicopter are fine and add some real excitement to a scale flight but tick-tocks, rainbows, and inverted flying should be left in the parking lot. If you put enough power into an MI-26, you can get it to do a loop, too, but what is the point?

I have to agree; but I must admit its cool to see someone with the skill to do it, but then it just looks silly after a while. Now, I wasn't aware of such opinion to make fun of scale builders, but whatever, its their money: scale 3D you better have the pro-skills to back it up, otherwise, your crashes will be 5 times the time and cost of wrecking a pod/boom.
One of the things I take pride now when I go to the field is teaching people who want to fly scale how to setup their gear for proper scale flight. I met the other a guy loved seeing my next build (a larger heli than the MB-8) and quietly asked me for some help. Upon looking at the setup I was told it was done by someone who exclusively flies 3D.... a 3D setup to fly scale... I was like WTH??? 100% throttle curves, with headspeeds that would cut trees... pitch curves that made no-sense for a scale flight, and let alone for learning hovering. He just wanted his pod/boom to fly similar to how my heli flew. So, we sat down and I explained to him some of the basics and after some tuning, we got his heli flying similar to how any of my helis flies: he loved it, and he thought it was a lot easier to fly too (he is learning to hover) Keyrigger, to me you don't have to prove anything man, I love what you've done with your helis, and the fact you take pride with it thats all it matters. When I started flying scale back in 2009 I was a hot-head, due to coming from a strong 3D background and I felt I had to prove myself I could outfly anyone in scale, but once I grew up (keyword here) I realized the point of scale is not to show off your flying skills... in fact, the smoother you fly the more people tend to like it so I concentrated in learning smooth precision scale flight, forgetting altogether the 3D school from where I originally came from. Now I just want do my thing man: doing slow circles with my large scale helicopter, when I have the NAZA fully tested FPV too... but I am sure someone thinks is dumb too, since anyone can buy a cheap quad and do it. The feel of seeing a large scale helicopter over the road with nav lights, makes you feel like the real deal is up there!! I am not sure if this is some sort of statement, but maturity level indicates what kind of flying you do... b/c lets face it... if someone has the motor skills to build a scale helicopter with the amount o details you've into yours, I am 100% sure he can also become a phenomenal 3D flyer as well: but motivation is just no there, and we all know motivation is the fuel to drive progress.

The Boys are Back in Town
Over the past month, I have been thinking hard about going to either the AMA US Nationals or to IRCHA. I guess I could have done both but that is for another time. I don't have a single "Scale" build done and before you say that I already have scale helicopters, I really don't. The three large helicopters that I have are all fictitious as they are not based on an actual helicopter model in that colour and markings. That is the main reason I am building the new Jet Ranger and 500MD TOW Defender bodies. I am going to be entering in Sport Scale which only requires a 3-view drawing and a modellers declaration so it is not quite the same as the full blown class. Next year, yes, this year, no. So it was time to dig up some bits from the crash and get Bruce back in place, large and in charge. I went over the body from one end to the other repairing paint chips, scratches, and finishing off some new parts that had, as yet, not been painted. A bit of weathering was added to the new head and landing gear as well as the exhaust. I was at a float fly-in this past weekend and was not comfortable flying a non-float equipped aircraft there so the AS350 and 500MD TD sat in the truck. When I went to paint the head, I discovered that one ball link on the grip was two threads from coming off. You could see where the thread lock was and that really bugged me but it might have been my own doing as I found two others that were not hard tight but still had thread lock holding them in place. It must have been that I didn't torque them in as I usually do so something must have dragged me away just before tightening them up. Had I gone to a Warbird event on Sunday, it would have had a serious dirt nap. So here are the pictures that I did and had a bit of fun with. The third figure is the pilot from the rebuild and he is having words with the confiscating flight crew but Bruce is not even paying a bit of attention to it, lol. Take care and maybe see some of you at IRCHA. Don |

I sometimes do aerobatics with my scale helicopters, but not to piss someone off but to show some of the 3d guys that scale flying can be as tuff as their style of flying. When I land I tell them to add 25 lbs. to their 700's and then do their 3d I get no takers. The other point I make is a lot of the 3d guys tell new RC pilots and to everyone that scale helicopters are something you fly once in awhile but not every day. I say BS. I fly mine every day I can. Flying scale can be just as tuff and unforgiving as 3D. New pilots just getting into the RC helicopters need to see this so they are not turned off by the 3D guys and to have a open mind about scale. If you look around there are few RC helicopter pilots and a lot less scale RC Helicopter pilots at AMA fields. John |

California Chrome a paper tiger, bet farm on Dance With Fate
On paper, California Chrome looks to be the easy winner of today's 140th running of the Kentucky Derby.
But they run the race on the sandy loam of Churchill Downs, not on paper, and it says here a bet on the heavy favourite today is a sucker bet.
Related Items
We'll get to who I think is your winner today in a moment. But first, here's why you'd be wasting your money on California Chrome, who might go off at some of the shortest odds in Derby history if his 5-2 morning line holds up today:
-- You know when the last time a California-bred like California Chrome won the Derby? JFK was president -- 1962. Just as bad, today will be the first time California Chrome has ever raced outside of California.
Horses that fit this profile go home disappointed on the first Saturday in May.
-- Yes, California Chrome has the two best Beyer numbers in the field -- a 107 and a 108. That's compelling, particularly in that they came in succession and in his last two outings. But there's a reason horse people pay big bucks for pedigree and California Chrome's sire, Lucky Pulpit, stands in the breeding shed for a comical $2,500 because he never won a race beyond 51/2 furlongs.
Length counts in horse racing. And today's 1-1/4 mile test is simply too long for California Chrome.
-- Speed kills.
His form -- and with 10 lifetime starts, California Chrome has an unusual amount of it for a three-year-old -- suggests he needs to be on or near the lead today to be effective. And today's field has a ridiculous amount of what can only be termed "cheap speed." Horses like Chitu, General a Rod, Wildcat Red and Uncle Sigh will all be racing out to the lead today and setting a torrid pace that is going to serve California Chrome poorly when the horses turn for home and all that speed gets reeled in.
-- 5-2 in a 19-horse field is just a bad bet.
You know why the history of the Derby is littered with long shot winners like 50-1 underdogs Giacomo in 2005 and Mine that Bird in 2009? Because a 19-horse field is like running a race down Portage Avenue at rush hour -- it's crazy, frustrating and unexpected things happen.
California Chrome has a beautiful form chart. Brings a tear to my eye. But he's never before raced in conditions even remotely resembling what he'll see today.
OK, so that's who is not going to win. So who is going to win?
Well, I think all that crazy speed up front sets up perfectly for someone to come from off-the-pace today and pick up the pieces in late stretch.
Danza -- who is partly owned by four Winnipeggers -- certainly fits that bill. He stalked a two-horse duel in the Arkansas Derby and then took over in the final turn to win at odds of 41-1. But that came after an absolutely dream trip. A ground-saving run on the rail which opened up perfectly in the final turn was tailor made for Danza in the Arkansas Derby -- and it's very unlikely to be duplicated In Kentucky today.
Legendary Washington Post racing writer Andrew Beyer likes Wicked Strong today. Trained by Jimmy Jerkens, who with a Derby win today would accomplish something his legendary father Allen famously couldn't, Wicked Strong rallied from sixth to win his last in the Wood Memorial. But I hate the post position -- the 19 hole might as well have Wicked Strong starting the race in Tennessee.
I'm going to take a flyer today in one of the longer shots on the board -- a deep closer named Dance With Fate, who came late from the back of the pack with a powerful sweeping move to reel in 10 horses and take down the Grade 1 Bluegrass Stakes in his last.
A 20-1 morning line will reward the bold today. And Dance With Fate's jockey, Corey Nakatani -- who is a record 0-16 in the Derby -- is due, to say the least.

Engaging Learners in the Virtual Classroom
As classroom trainers transition to the online virtual classroom, they often deliver boring lectures with an occasional poll or chat thrown in to mix it up. Learners pushed into the role of bored, passive observers quickly discover how easy it is to multi-task (checking email, finishing projects, or even conversing with co-workers). Trainers report that they hate the lack of visual feedback and their inability to read their learners' needs when delivering training via the web. If you want to do it better, enjoy it more, and feel satisfaction in your training efforts, join us to learn tried-and-true engagement techniques for the virtual classroom.

Teach Your Learners to Fish: How Holistic Learning Makes Performance Gains Stick
Investment in training for many organizations often results in a roller coaster effect: a temporary improvement in performance, followed by declines or learning plateaus. According to research published in Learning Solutions, 80% of what employees learn is forgotten within 30 days. Battling this up and down cycle has become a constant challenge for trainers. How do you replace incremental and fleeting increases in knowledge with lasting fluency that learners can call upon in real performance situations?

(4) Rutgers 46
(24-5, 14-2 Big East)
(1) Connecticut 66
(29-1, 15-1 Big East)
7:00 PM ET, March 3, 2008
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- The Connecticut Huskies were all smiles after winning their second straight Big East regular-season championship -- especially after beating their "new" rival to do it.
Renee Montgomery scored 21 points and Maya Moore added 19 to help top-ranked Connecticut beat No. 4 Rutgers 66-46 on Monday night in front of a near-sellout crowd of 15,779."They've taken Tennessee's place," Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma said. "We have to hate somebody. As loving as we are as a program, there's got to be a little bit of dislike between two teams and for Rutgers, we're it and for us, they're it."The Huskies lead the all-time series with Rutgers 21-6, but the Scarlet Knights have won four of the last seven meetings.Tina Charles added 15 points and 17 rebounds for the Huskies, who won their second straight Big East championship and 13th in the last 15 seasons."I feel this one more for the players," Auriemma said. "It's something I really wanted them to have. They proved last year they were the undisputed best team in the league during the regular season, and I think, coming back except for that one hiccup down there, I think that we proved it again. So for them not to get it tonight, would have been a shame."With the victory Connecticut (29-1, 15-1) earned the top seed in the conference tournament that starts Saturday. Rutgers (24-5, 14-2) will be the No. 2 seed. Both teams have first-round byes and don't play until the quarterfinals on Sunday.With Connecticut leading by two points early in the second half, Charles took over. She scored six points during a 10-2 run that extended the lead to 44-34 with 10:49 left. It was Charles' 14th double-double of the season."I saw a look in her eyes and that stretch was something different," Auriemma said.Rutgers cut the deficit to six on Matee Ajavon's free throws, but Montgomery answered with a 3-pointer to start a 22-8 spurt to close the game. Montgomery scored 12 points during the run."Big time shots made by an All-American player," Auriemma said. "No disrespect to the Rutgers players but she was the best guard on the floor tonight."The Huskies got a scare when Moore went down when she was fouled hard by Epiphanny Prince. Moore got up and went to the sideline stretching her back. With the Huskies enjoying a big lead, she did not return to the game."I actually asked Epiphanny, 'You didn't do that on purpose, did you?' And she said no," Montgomery said. "I can't be mad at someone who is just playing hard."Essence Carson led Rutgers with 15 points.Prince, who scored a career-high 33 points in the first meeting between the teams, was held to five points. She was scoreless in the first half as the Huskies were constantly hounding her all over the court. She hit her first basket on a jumper 1½ minutes into the second half."I don't think they did anything differently to me," Prince said. " I just think that I was thinking too much about what was going on in the game, and I wasn't just playing."Moore broke the UConn freshman scoring record 4½ minutes into the game, hitting a pullup jumper. She passed Svetlana Abrosimova's mark of 538 points set in 1998. Moore has scored in double figures in all 30 games this season."Maya's in another category," Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer said. "There was nothing we could do, she's just a great player."Moore got into early foul trouble in the first meeting that saw Rutgers hand Connecticut its only loss of the season on Feb. 5. The Scarlet Knights rallied from a nine-point halftime deficit to beat the Huskies 73-71.She had no such trouble on Monday night. Moore scored eight of Connecticut's first 10 points and started 5-for-6 from the field. Leading by four midway through the first half, the Huskies used an 11-4 run to take a 28-17 with four minutes left."You look at her game tonight and the one last time and they are totally different," Auriemma said.Rutgers scored the next six points to close to 28-23 at halftime. UConn could have had a much bigger lead, but the Huskies were just 2-for-9 from the free-throw line in the first half.With the victory, Auriemma became the 14th Division I women's coach to reach 650 victories.Connecticut, which has won 24 straight home games -- the longest streak in the nation -- barely avoided an upset on Saturday, rallying from a 17-point second-half deficit to beat DePaul 77-76.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

If you've ever thought about using FAM (Fertility Awareness Method), chances are you think about the numerous amounts of books, websites, and advice you've seen on how to get started.
But which is right for you? Are you someone who just wants the basics, enough to get started? Someone who wants all the details from start to finish? Are you simply interested in your health, or want to prevent pregnancy for a while until you're ready?
Whatever the reason is, there are many resources out there to help educate you on your body and the choices you have beyond luck and birth control. Today, women are deciding to take charge of their body, to make decisions that work for them – no matter what that means. In choosing to do this, you gain a huge amount of knowledge that can help you in all areas of your health and to make better decisions with your doctor in years to come.
