Take action to Orange your day
The UN Secretary-General's UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign, managed by UN Women, has proclaimed every 25th of the month as "Orange Day" – a day to take action to raise awareness and prevent violence against women and girls.
Initiated and led by the UNiTE campaign Global Youth Network, Orange Day calls upon activists, governments and UN partners to mobilize people and highlight issues relevant to preventing and ending violence against women and girls, not only once a year, on 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women), but every month.
The year 2015 marks the 20-year anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the most progressive road map to gender equality. World leaders will meet in March at the United Nations 59th Commission on the Status of Women to take stock of the progress made and commit to take actions to close the gaps that are holding women and girls back. This is also the year when a new development framework will come in to replace the Millennium Development Goals. The elimination of violence against women and girls must be a centrepiece of the new development agenda.
2015 Orange Day themes
May – Using technology to end violence against women and girls
April – 'HeForShes' say No to violence against women and girls
March – Launch of UNiTE campaign Call for Action for the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence
February – Twenty-year review of the Beijing Platform for Action: how far have we come in efforts to end violence against women and girls?
June – 'Where's the money for initiatives to end violence against women and girls?'
July – 'Youth in action – Orange our future: the Sustainable Development Goals and a future free from violence against women and girls'
August – 'Step it Up for Gender Equality and an end to violence against women and girls'
September – 'The new global development agenda: what's next for efforts to end violence against women and girls?'
October – 'Ensuring access to services for survivors of violence against women and girls'
November – 'Orange your world: Make a dent'

The Marine Corps tuition assistance program is a thing of the past now that sequestration is in full swing, leaving many service members to use their G.I. Bill's to pay for school while on active duty.
"Tuition assistance offered me a way to get ahead on my education without dipping into my G.I. bill," Cpl. David Hanson said. "My standings as a Marine also were elevated as my command recognized I was making legitimate self-improvement efforts."
The Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus, said that the Corps will stop enrolling personnel in the tuition assistance program — a program in use by thousands of Marines seeking their college degrees. That leaves troops to either use their G.I. Bills to pay for school or wait until they are discharged to obtain an education.
For Hanson, 25, of
"I won't be able to do it again," Hanson said. "And that is frustrating. It wasn't a benefit I was aware of when I enlisted, but tuition assistance has definitely been part of my long-term education plan."
Hanson says tuition assistance offered more than fiscal assistance.
"Who wouldn't love their employer to pay for a basic post high school education?" Hanson said. "To have this benefit cited to you as a reason for joining, to use it and really recognize its worth, it's definitely upsetting that it's being taken away. It's free money fiscally in exchange for just being in the military.
"It was a perk, a good reason to join. With tuition assistance gone it's going to arrest the progress of potentially excellent scholars, minds for business down the road and demoralize those who signed up for this advantage."
There will be negative implications of this decision, said Hanson.
"There's simply going to be more military personnel sitting on their hands waiting to get out instead of educating themselves and remaining in the military," Hanson said.
With plans to stay in the Corps, Hanson will be one of many who will finish their careers and then pursue their education in order to reap the full benefits of the G.I. Bill, such as book and housing allowances.
"If you look at the goal of the Marine Corps, it's to make good Marines, in turn making more productive citizens when they get out," Hanson said. "Due to these cuts it's taking away from being a smarter Marine and a more educated civilian.
"And by being a scholar while you're in, you make it easier to transition back into the civilian world, which is a major concern during the draw-down."

Warner Bros. Looney Tunes™ characters bring their animated antics to TomTom!
Sep 22 2010
Concord, MA, September 22, 2010 – TomTom draws on the rich heritage of Looney Tunes' animated superstars! In association with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and VoiceSkins.com, TomTom brings the classic Looney Tunes voices to TomTom navigation devices for the very first time.
Beginning today with Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam, the launch of Warner Bros.' dazzling galaxy of classic cartoon greats will continue throughout the Autumn of 2010 – with Daffy Duck and Sylvester launching in October, and Pepé Le Pew coming to TomTom device screens in November.
Bugs Bunny, the most popular cartoon character ever, guides you in his trademark laconic way with wise-cracks aplenty. Just make sure you've got enough carrots to keep your hungry co-pilot focused on the navigation! As well as the sounds of much carrot munching, the Bugs Bunny voice also features the iconic Looney Tunes theme, entertaining sound effects and original incidental music overlaid on the navigation commands to provide that iconic Looney Tunes shorts feel. Bugs makes driving more fun with lines such as, "Say doc, after 600 yards stay in the right lane. What's this rabbit's foot doin' in the glove box?"
Yosemite Sam, the greatest, the toughest, rip-roarin'-est, hombre that ever packed a six-shooter and a map navigates with characteristic growls and threats like: "Sharp left, ya humpbacked muley. Then go straight on. This ve-hicle ain't big enough for the two of us!"
"We are excited to launch these Looney Tunes voices exclusively for TomTom devices. By offering these fun personalities, our drivers will not only enjoy the best directions, but they will also have fun along the way," said Tom Murray, senior vice president market development at TomTom, Inc. "We hope that drivers and passengers of all ages can enjoy the rich heritage of these classic voices during their everyday journeys."
"TomTom is a global leader in personal navigation and what better way to travel than with a little help from some of the world's most beloved characters," said Karen McTier, executive vice president, domestic licensing and worldwide marketing, Warner Bros. Consumer Products. "The Looney Tunes will make any journey more entertaining with their irreverence and fun-loving nature."
TomTom customers will also be able to download free of charge various official warning alert sounds voiced by Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam, along with free start up screen wallpapers.
To celebrate the release of the voices, TomTom is launching a hilarious viral video treat featuring the Looney Tunes classic characters, and their agent, "negotiating" a deal to bring their voices to TomTom.
All Looney Tunes voices will be available in English. The Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam voices are available for download immediately for $12.95.
To hear clips of the voices – and to find out more about them – visit www.tomtom.com/looneytunes.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - The Village at Squaw Valley and the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe teamed up to put on two successful events this summer which netted $30,000 for operating expenses for the local humane society.The Brews Jazz & Funk event paired great music by Orgone, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, George Porter Jr. & his Runnin' Pardners, Robert Walter's trio and more with a selection of brew samplings from Sierra Nevada, Deschutes to Lagunitas and many other micro and macro beers.In August the Peaks & Paws event blended animal-themed vendors, wine tasting, Lagunitas beer, a 3K Mutt Strut, a Fetch Fest competition as well as two days of incredible bluegrass. Bands included Emmit-Nershi, who flew in for the event, Dead Winter Carpenters, Head for the Hills, David Jacob Strain, The Iguanas and Tony Furtado. Bison, who performed on a second stage to compliment the wine tasting wowed the crowds with their string-filled energy. Both events, which produced six hours of continuous live music each day, were well attended by humans and pets alike."It's rare to be able to bring your pet to a concert or event in our area," said Stephanie Jensen Nistler, executive director of HSTT. "It was wonderful to see so many happy dogs and people enjoying all that these events had to offer. We are grateful to the community for coming out and supporting us."Proceeds from beer and wine sales, the $5 entry donation, T-shirt sales and raffle ticket sales contributed to the funds raised for HSTT in addition to support received from sponsors including Truckee Tahoe Pet Lodge, Laguintas Brewing Co, Hearts Companion, Sierra Nevada, Bare Bones Work Wear, Nature's Select, Dog Watch Hidden Fences, Deschutes, Larkspur Hotel and the Crystal Bay Club & Casino.Special thanks to the Squaw Village Neighbourhood Company and to everyone who showed their support by attending, donating and enjoying themselves thoroughly."We are thrilled with the outcome of these events. Every penny of the $30,000 raised will go directly toward helping us save the lives of homeless pets that really need us," said Nistler. Mark your calendars for these two events coming back to Squaw Valley next year. Brews Jazz & Funk is slated for Aug. 10 and 11, 2013 and Peaks & Paws will return Aug. 24 and 25, 2013.These successful events help the Humane Society with their operating expenses. For those who haven't heard, the HSTT has another pressing need for fundraising. While they have had tremendous success to date raising several million dollars to fund the construction of a new animal shelter, unfortunately, due to higher than anticipated construction costs, the organization has encountered a shortfall. They now face an urgent need to raise additional funds.To address this need, the Humane Society has re-launched its Heroes Now & Forever campaign to raise the final $1 million dollars needed to build the new animal shelter which has already begun construction on Stockrest Springs Road in Truckee. To become a hero and contribute to this campaign, or for more info visit www.HSTT.org or call 530-587-5948.

Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Simon Pagenaud will start on the pole for the first race in the Shell and Pennzoil Grand Prix of Houston weekend doubleheader after topping the charts in Saturday morning's qualifying.
During the third and final qualifying round (the "Fast Six"), Pagenaud made a lap around this 1.683-mile, 10-turn temporary street circuit at Houston's NRG Park in 59.3716 seconds for his first career pole in the IndyCar Series. The 30-year-old Frenchman is in his third season as driver of the No. 77 car for Schmidt Peterson Hamilton Motorsports.
On Friday, Pagenaud posted the fastest lap overall in practice. He won the May 10 inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis, held on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's road course.
"The car is awesome and has been all weekend," said Pagenaud, who scored his maiden pole in his 60th career IndyCar start. "It's going to be a long and physical race, but we'll be ready. Starting from pole during a standing start is important to avoid any problems."
It was also the first pole for Schmidt Peterson Hamilton Motorsports since June 2011 when Alex Tagliani claimed the top starting position at Texas Motor Speedway.
Helio Castroneves will start alongside Pagenaud on the front row for Saturday afternoon's 90-lap, 153-mile race after making a lap in 59.4463 seconds. Scott Dixon, the defending IndyCar champion and winner of the first race in last year's doubleheader in Houston, qualified a season-best third. Luca Filippi, who is making his first start in the series this season, placed a career-best fourth. James Hinchcliffe took the fifth spot.
Takuma Sato, Justin Wilson, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Sebastien Bourdais and rookie Mikhail Aleshin qualified sixth through 10th, respectively.
Will Power, the current points leader, struggled in qualifying with an 18th- place result. Power started 14th and finished second at Long Beach and then won the first race in the Detroit Belle Isle weekend doubleheader after starting 16th. He enters race 1 in Houston with a 39-point lead over Castroneves, his teammate at Team Penske.
Power also won race 2 in the 2013 doubleheader in Houston.
Pagenaud is presently fourth in the championship standings (-91).
"When you're positioned to win, you have to take advantage of the points and we're poised to do that," Pagenaud noted.

Safeco Field will boast the largest high definition video display screen in Major League Baseball starting in 2013.
The 56.7-feet high by 201.5-feet wide display will replace the scoreboard that has been above the centerfield seats since the stadium opened in 1999. The entire screen is the same size as the current scoreboard, but because the entire thing is a high definition screen, the video space itself is nearly 10 times the size of the current video screen.
The Mariners say the viewing area is equal to about 2,182 42-inch flat screen TVs.
The Mariners are committed to building a winner on the field and providing fans with a great experience at the ballpark. After 13-plus seasons, fans have been asking, When are we going to replace the scoreboard? It s time, said Kevin Martinez, Seattle Mariners Vice President of Marketing.
For those who want to geek out on the specs, the Mariners write:
The new Panasonic HD video screen will combine 1080p x 3840 screen resolution and Surface Mount LED technology, which uses more pixels and therefore produces higher quality images. Paired with the latest ANC Sports VisionSOFT operating system, Safeco Field s new video screen will have image quality that is superior to broadcast HD signals. VisionSOFT is the first 64-bit operating system in large format live event display.
1080p live sports is an experience unavailable in ballparks or to home viewers until now. It s like the difference between normal HD programming and a Blu-ray disc, except displayed on an enormous scale. You ll be able to see details like blades of grass and the texture of the infield dirt. Fans will be amazed when they see it, said Dave Curry, Seattle Mariners Vice President of Technology.
The Mariners said the video screen and other production upgrades are part of an estimated $15 million maintenance and capital improvement plan for Safeco Field. The Mariners said it has invested over $80 million in the ballpark since it opened.
The Mariners open the home schedule April 8 against their new division rival, the Houston Astros. In addition to the video board, the outfield walls are being moved in with the hopes of providing more home runs at the stadium.

The forum heading "Politics, Religion, Philosophy, and Science" is missing something, namely "Business".
Why "business"? An example would be Consumerism, which is a belief-system unto itself, one that is cherished by billions. But it is also the most destructive belief-system on this planet, a thousand times more destructive than any war, or natural disaster, save the planet being struck by giant meteorites and comets.
Advertising is inextricably linked to business, and perhaps should be included.
People, the media and politicians are wont to refer to the damage done by Consumerism as "progress". This is as evil a belief as the denial of Evolution by Christian neo-cons who want Creationism taught in US schools.
As Sam Harris has often said, Atheism is a wiping away of old ideas in order to facilitate having meaningful dialogue (I'm paraphrasing here). Part of that dialogue must necessarily include how we're living in the present day and what we're doing to this planet.
I'm not sure if Politics should be included as well, but modern big-business, politics and advertising have such an incestuous relationship that it's hard to say where one ends and the next begins. In Canada right now the Harper Conservatives and the BC Liberals are trying to make it illegal for people to stand in the way of business interests, especially where there are environmental concerns. This is an example of Consumerism becoming Consumer-Fascism, which is the next logical step. Consumer practices are literally getting away with murder right now. Entrenching Consumerism in our legal machinery, though a blatant conflict of interest, is the way things are headed.
So, how about it? "Business, Advertising and Politics" as a new sub-heading?

NORFOLK -- The overhaul of USS Abraham Lincoln at Newport News Shipyard has been delayed as Congress battles over the budget.
'This reduction would significantly impact thousands of skilled shipyard workers, who have labored to develop their skills and will represent a blow to the future capabilities of Newport News to deliver timely and cost effective ships to the fleet,' said Rep. Randy Forbes (R-4th District).
The carrier was due at the Peninsula shipyard on February 14.
'Was supposed to do two weeks of training, then jump right into the Lincoln,' Matthew Delk told 13News.
Delk who has been out of work since September was hired by Hungtington Ingalls to work on the carrier's overhaul.
'Supposed to be the best thing that ever happened to me. Waiting on the phone call to get my start date,' the father of 4 said.
Delk and his family have been living with his parents.
'It scares me, because I'm trying to get my nursing degree so that we can finally be on our feet and not have to worry about it, and now I'm thinking maybe I need to stop doing my classes, and, you know, go out and get a job,' said Delk's wife, Laura, who has relatives and friend who work at Huntington Ingalls. 'There's a lot of really good people who this could potentially affect, and it doesn't just affect the shipyard. It trickles down to all the other -- Jefferson Labs -- and, you know, 'cause everybody starts getting budgets cut, 'cause they can't get the money they need coming in.'
Rep. Forbes also said, 'Not only will the Lincoln be delayed in returning to the fleet, but this decision will also affect the USS ENTERPRISE (CVN 65) defueling, the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (CVN 73) RCOH, and future carrier readiness.'
All carrier work is done at Newport News, the nation's sole carrier designer and builder.
In a statement Friday afternoon, Huntington Ingalls stressed this is not a cancellation of the Lincoln's RCOH.
'At Huntington Ingalls Industries, we continue to actively negotiate the Lincoln RCOH contract with the Navy, and we intend to continue our efforts on the ship at the Navy base in Norfolk and will work to make as much progress as possible, as efficiently as possible, prior to its arrival,' said spokeswoman Christie Miller.
'We are disappointed with this turn of events,' she added. 'We've also communicated the potentially adverse impact that the current continuing resolution as well as the threat of an extension of a CR for the balance of the year -- has on the Navy's ability to execute new work and the already fragile industrial base.'
Each RCOH costs over $2 billion and is performed only once during a carrier's 50-year life. It's required to refuel the ship and to perform widespread upgrades throughout the ship. The work represents 35% of all maintenance and modernization performed on the ship over its life, according to information from an earlier release by Huntington Ingalls.
The potential for the cuts to kick in is the result of Congress' failure to trim the deficit by $1.2 trillion over a decade. The Pentagon faces a $42.7 billion budget cut in the seven months starting in March and ending in September. The automatic cuts would be in addition to a $487 billion reduction in defense spending over the next 10 years mandated by the Budget Control Act passed in 2011, the Associated Press reported.
Rep. Bobby Scott (D-3rd District) told WVEC.com, 'Even weeks before it is to take effect, we are already seeing the harm sequestration will have on the Hampton Roads economy and the readiness of our Navy with the delay of the overhaul of the USS Abraham Lincoln. It is beyond absurd that we were able to find $3.9 trillion to permanently extend most of the Bush-era tax cuts in the fiscal cliff deal without also finding $1 trillion to turn off the sequester. The men and women who serve our nation in uniform deserve better than this. The men and women at Newport News Shipbuilding who build, repair, and maintain the most advanced naval fleet in the world deserve better than this.'
Frank Kendall, deputy undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, called the across-the-board defense spending cuts set to kick in March 1 and the possibility of the government operating under a continuing resolution instead of a budget for the rest of the year a 'nightmare scenario' for the Defense Department.
'It's people not flying. It's ships not steaming. It's maintenance not being done. ... It's units not being trained to go to war,' Kendall said.
'I think it's utterly unconscionable to put our people who are so dedicated out there into that kind of position,' he said during a speech Friday in the Cowen Aerospace and Defense Conference in Washington, DC.
'I mean, it's hurting us here locally, and it hurts defense overall as a whole,' Delk said. 'It's hurting everybody. They're worried about all their own political gain; meanwhile, there's a bunch of real people out here hurting.'

Kids who come to our house will get a mix of stuff (fruits, nuts, candies). They most definitely will not get any religious pamphlets, not even those espousing the avoidance of religion.

The velocity of their treats depends on their tricks.
I used to rig ghosts on fishing-line zip-lines (invisible in the dark) so they'd swoop in at high velocity when they were walking back down the driveway. Lots of loooong waits for the right moment, but the few times I got it right they would hear something fluttering up behind them; they absolutely piss themselves in terror when they turn and see this THING coming at them at tens of meters per second and fly just over their heads.
Their screams have kept me warm at night for years.

It's all about their pathetic little egos. Sure, they'll wrap it up with some rationalization like, "It's to keep you healthy!" or "It's to save your soul!" but in the end, the more folks who believe the way they do, the more comfortable that they are "right".

June is a wonderful month. They're all pretty good, and I certainly wouldn't want to do without any of them; but June has always been my favorite for reasons which have changed with my age.
When I was young it represented the doorway into three months of school-less bliss. It was barefoot and baseball time.
In later years I wore shoes more often as my priorities changed. Most notably
Those times were the most magic concoction of music, dancing, fishing and blankets spread under the stars on dark and deserted beaches. As decades rolled by, the stars remained in place but the strand from Emerald Isle up to
Along with the Pavilion my dancing knees eventually gave out. Time dry-rotted the line on my fishing poles and sand wasn't as comfortable as it once was.
But June magic still visits, just in other manifestations. One seasonal dividend that I now look forward to is fresh tomatoes. Those that travel directly from plant to sandwich without hitting a shelf are pure joy.
I love tomato sandwiches. I wouldn't be surprised if someday the Food and Drug Administration classifies Miracle Whip as a southern drug. I know I can't live without it.
For me the biggest magic of all takes place in Vegas. The annual World Series of Poker kicks off at the end of May and runs nonstop through mid-July. The entire month of June is wall-to-wall poker.
This year, the WSOP consists of 62 tournaments of varying games and buy-ins. I play event 26, which is for "seniors" which means you have to be over 50 to enter.
There're so many older folks who enjoy playing poker, it is the largest single-day start tournament of them all. This year I suspect entries will total just south of 5,000 but I won't know for sure until they "shuffle up and deal."
There's a change this year that I really like. We'll kick off at instead of as it was in the past. That two-hour earlier start doesn't seem like much but it means a two-hour earlier finish. It's a big deal when you're on
You'd be surprised how many familiar faces you run into out there. There're folks I know from
For those of you who enjoy poker but don't think you're up to playing at such a huge shindig, you shouldn't have a worry. The thing is so well-organized and officiated, there aren't any confusions or frictions. It's very smooth.
If you show up and observe a few tactical "no-no's" you'll have about as good a chance as anybody. Raise or fold, seldom call. Don't play out of position. And finally, pay attention to the other players.
Have a seat. You'll be very welcome.

My seven year old, when getting out of the car this morning, manages to knock my soft sided leather "grip" onto the running board of my Jeep unbeknownst to me. I leave the school merging on to Cantrell Road, one of the main roads into downtown Little Rock. A car in front of me stops suddenly, and I brake, but hear a thump under my Jeep, and feel a bump as I run over something.
I look in the rear-view and see some black "trash" in the road. Another car hits it, and swerves to the side, and I see the flap on my brief case fly open (it's styled like a messenger bag). I then realize IT'S MY BRIEF CASE!!!!
I turn and see another car hit it too–contents are flying everywhere. I turn and make the two blocks to get back "upstream" of the case where I can block the road and pick up the case and contents. (God only knows how many cars hit it in that time, it's bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic.) I get everything picked up, including my iPad—laying on the road that I personally witnessed being run over three times (including, once by me). My brief case looks like it has been run over multiple times. My checkbook is torn up. My papers are torn, stained and ripped up. My cell phone/pens/anything breakable inside was crushed.
My iPad works flawlessly—with only minor bending on the sliver trim along the place where you plug in the charger. Your ZAGGfolio protective case saved it. Frankly, I don't see how that is possible, but it did save the iPad. I am sorry to bother you as the CEO of your company, but I had to pass this along.

rpcnetp.exe .dll?
by G_Unzueta - 6/1/11 1:01 AM
So I noticed I have this process that runs usualy when I turn on my laptop. It's not something I've had before (had laptop for several years). It's not flagged by Norton 360 nor Ad-Aware. After looking it up, I read that it can be malware or a laptop recovery process by Absolute, but I don't even have a 'trial' offer installed, nor any other of their security software and I'm usually very carefull about accidentally installing malware. Also, I just reformatted about a month ago so there are very few things I've installed so far. So my question is, how can I properly identify what this process is and get rid of it either way? Before I just reformat again, I'd like some feedback if possible since it seems that its installed in the BIOS and will just reinstall after the reformat.
Thank You.

About the Author
Paul Bowles was born in Queens, New York, in 1910. He began his travels as a teenager, setting off for Paris, telling no one of his plans. In 1930 he visited Morocco for the first time, with Aaron Copland, with whom he was studying music. His early reputation was as a composer and he wrote the scores for several Tennessee Williams plays. Bowles married the writer Jane Auer in 1938, and after the war the couple settled in Tangier. In Morocco Bowles turned principally to fiction. The Sheltering Skyinspired by his travels in the Saharawas a New York Times bestseller in 1950, and has gone on to sell more than 250,000 copies. It was followed by three further novels, numerous short stories, nonfiction, and translations. Bowles died in Tangier in 1999.

"I got him galloping out (five furlongs) in 1:00 3/5," said trainer Art Sherman, who had his regular exercise rider, Jay Conklin, aboard the California-bred son of Lucky Pulpit.
Brereton Jones' Divine Beauty and Fox Hill Farms' Cassatt will not run in Saturday's Grade 3, $200,000 Rachel Alexandra, trainer Larry Jones advised Sunday morning during training hours at Fair Grounds.
The Rachel Alexandra is Fair Grounds' designed prep for the Grade 2, $400,000 Fair Grounds Oaks, to be run on Louisiana Derby Day, March 29, on the penultimate day of the current racing season in New Orleans.
Commissioner, who ran his win streak to two races with an impressive allowance victory at Gulfstream Park on January 3, put in his final breeze for the Grade 2, $400,000 Fountain of Youth on Sunday morning.
With Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez aboard, the three-year-old A.P. Indy colt was clocked in :49 for four furlongs on the fast main track at Palm Meadows, Gulfstream's satellite training facility in Palm Beach County.
Following the injury to Exit Stage Left, the presumptive favorite for Saturday's Grade 3, $200,000 El Camino Real Derby, Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer called up the reserves in the form of Mr. and Mrs. Larry D. Williams' homebred Tamarando, and he saved the day for the barn. With Hall of Famer Russell Baze aboard, Tamarando wore down Dance with Fate by a half-length in the shadow of the wire at Golden Gate Fields.
Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas has had a lot of luck preparing his young horses at Oaklawn for Triple Crown race success dating back to 1985 when Tank's Prospect won the Arkansas Derby and then the Preakness Stakes. In 1996, the Lukas-trained Grindstone used a second in the Arkansas Derby as a launching pad to victory in the Kentucky Derby and most recently, Oxbow finished second to his champion stablemate Will Take Charge in the 2013 Rebel Stakes before going on to win the Preakness Stakes.
In Trouble, undefeated winner of the Futurity in his most recent start, will have one more work at Palm Meadows before making his three-year-old debut.
Trainer Tony Dutrow schooled the bay Tiz Wonderful colt in the Gulfstream Park paddock during the first race on Friday.
"He hasn't been in the paddock since late September at Belmont," Dutrow said. "He's nearly ready to run, and we're trying to cover all our bases."
Cairo Prince, the early favorite for the Grade 1, $1 million Florida Derby on March 29, breezed a half-mile in :48 3/5 Saturday morning at Palm Meadows, Gulfstream Park's satellite training facility in Palm Beach County.
The three-year-old son of Pioneerof the Nile was posting his first move since his dominating 5 3/4-length victory in the January 25 Holy Bull at Gulfstream. He completed the workout under a tight hold by motionless exercise rider Rob Massey.
Trainer Todd Pletcher may enter as many as three horses for next Saturday's Grade 2, $200,000 Davona Dale at Gulfstream Park, a 1 1/16-mile stakes for three-year-old fillies.
"Right now, I'm planning to enter Onlyforyou, Stopchargingmaria and Got Lucky is also under consideration for here and the (Grade 3, $200,000) Rachel Alexandra (at Fair Grounds on the same day)," Pletcher said Saturday morning.
At this time a year ago, Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas had a fairly deep bench of classic candidates, including eventual divisional champion Will Take Charge and Preakness winner Oxbow. For the time being, Lukas will be relying solely on Strong Mandate to reach similar heights as the Grade 1-winning son of Tiznow commences his sophomore campaign against 11 rivals Monday in the Grade 3, $300,000 Southwest at Oaklawn Park.
Wildcat Red will have a new rider when he makes his next start in the Grade 2, $400,000 Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream Park on February 22.
Trainer Jose Garoffalo has lined up Luis Saez to ride Wildcat Red, an impressive 4 3/4-length winner of the seven-furlong Hutcheson on February 1 under Javier Castellano. The 2013 Eclipse Award winner and two-time defending meet champion, Castellano is committed to ride Gulfstream Park Derby winner General a Rod in the Fountain of Youth.
Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert sent out two Triple Crown nominees in Thursday's 7TH race at Santa Anita, and one -- Kaleem Shah's Bayern -- flaunted his readiness to join the big leagues. Stretching out from a 3 1/4-length debut victory on January 4, the 3-5 favorite turned the one-mile, entry-level allowance into a 15-length rout. His more experienced, but quirky, stablemate Tap It Rich wound up second best after again racing erratically.
Todd Pletcher-trained Commissioner is training forwardly for his scheduled stakes debut in the Grade 2, $400,000 Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream Park on February 22.
"We're very pleased with him," Pletcher said. "Physically, he's in great order. He holds his weight well. He's a very easy horse to train.
A number of Risen Star hopefuls have put in works over the past week in advance of the Grade 2, $400,000 contest on February 22 at Fair Grounds.
Eclipse Award-winning trainer Todd Pletcher, whose New Orleans invaders have won three of the last six renewals of the Risen Star, will be sending Intense Holiday to this year's 41st running of the Risen Star, centerpiece event of four graded stakes on the New Orleans oval's Louisiana Derby Preview Day.
Intense Holiday breezed a half-mile Sunday over the fast main track at Palm Meadows in :48.
When Churchill Downs Racetrack ("CDRT") unveils its 15,224 square foot LED "Big Board" and an enhanced audio system on the "Opening Night" of its April 26-June 30 Spring Meet, a new voice will be calling the action, highlighted by an on-track call of the biggest race of them all: the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (Grade I).
Grade 1 winner Tamarando heads a field of eight entered for Saturday's Grade 3, $200,000 El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate Fields. Jerry Hollendorfer originally planned to run California Derby winner Exit Stage Left in the 1 1/8-mile event instead, but called an audible when the unbeaten colt was injured last week.
The El Camino Real Derby offers points on a 10-4-2-1 scale to the top four finishers as part of the "Road to the Kentucky Derby" series.
Candy Boy came to play in the Grade 2 Robert B. Lewis at Santa Anita last Saturday, posting an impressive victory in his 2014 debut. With champion two-year-old Shared Belief still sidelined by a foot injury, Candy Boy made a compelling case that he's the horse to beat for the Santa Anita Derby on April 5.
Gary Stevens had the mount on the John Sadler-trained colt.
"It was a lot of fun and he didn't even take a deep breath after the race. He's a super talent," the Hall of Fame rider said.
Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer has issued an update on champion two-year-old male Shared Belief, who has been recovering from a quarter-crack on his right front foot.
Shared Belief is "in training again, but won't be breezing for another few days," Hollendorfer said.
Utilizing a strong finishing kick, C R K Stable's homebred Candy Boy captured the Grade 2, $200,000 Robert B. Lewis at Santa Anita Saturday. The John Sadler-trained colt won going away under Gary Stevens to enhance his Kentucky Derby credentials.

England's Lord Wandsworth and Namibia's Windhoek Gym will participate in this year's St John's Easter Festival.
St John's will host it's 17th Easter Festival over the long weekend, and to make it a unique occasion, they've invited two international schools. Lord Wandsworth from England and Windhoek Gym from Namibia will make the trip to Johannesburg for the three-day event.
According to tournament organisor Adi Norris, Lord Wandsworth will add some pedigree as they are one of the well-known rugby institutions in the UK. Former England flyhalf Jonny Wilkinson and wing Ugo Monye are two well-known players who attended the school.
'Overall, we're very happy with the group of rugby schools that will take part this year,' Norris told Schoolboy Derby. 'Our festival didn't get much support early on, but we now see about 20 000 fans come through over the three days. With some big matches to be played this weekend and the entertainment on show, I'm sure we'll have massive crowds coming in.
'A former St John's teacher is based at Lord Wandsworth and organised their team's trip to the festival. With Windhoek Gym also taking part, the international matches will be interesting and exciting.
'We also have 12 preparatory schools taking part in the junior field of the Easter Festival. The support for those matches has also grown a lot over the years.'
A Lions Invitational XV has also been selected and will allow players from disadvantaged or smaller rugby schools to display their talent. Standard Bank has also sponsored Klein Nederburg's trip to the festival.
The major matches to be played will be the Marais Viljoen-St John's clash on day one, the Waterkloof-Florida Gauteng derby on day two, and the Waterkloof-Paarl Boys' match on day three.

HVAC systems offer complete climate control for your home or place of business, regulating temperature, humidity and air quality. First used in commercial buildings, they have since been installed domestically with great success.
How Does HVAC Work? An HVAC system has two main components, an external condenser and an internal evaporator coil. These units work in conjunction to cycle cool, warm or dehumidified air through HVAC ducts located throughout your home. It is also possible to get the two components in a single external unit. Ask your local HVAC installation company if this option is suitable for your situation.
Is HVAC Suitable For Domestic Use? HVAC systems are easily regulated and are more efficient than traditional mechanisms. They can be purchased with "zonal" control, allowing individual rooms or areas to be precisely regulated. Although the system may be more costly it is a worthwhile investment in the long run, as it has virtually endless versatility and upgrade potential.
Is HVAC Environmentally Friendly and Efficient? In the past 10 years technology has enabled the development of increasingly efficient systems, and there are several steps that you can take to optimize the operation and reduce the fuel consumption of your HVAC equipment.
1. Insulate and weatherize your home. The majority of houses have insufficient loft insulation and poor window construction, resulting in heat loss during the winter and soaring energy costs.
2. Integrate a thermostat into your system, as this will allow finite control over the climate in your home. Remember, turning your thermostat down one degree can have a dramatic impact on your energy bills.
3. Make sure your HVAC equipment is installed and upgraded by a qualified professional who is familiar with your system.
4. Replace the air filter regularly, and keep the exterior components free of debris to prolong the life of your HVAC system.
HVAC Troubleshooting
There are several common complaints that occur with HVAC systems:
Rooms are the wrong temperature: A leaking HVAC duct may be to blame. Check ducts for damage and replace any deteriorating pipes.
Excessive humidity: Call an engineer to assess the current system and consider replacement options. If high levels of dust are present check the air filter and replace if necessary.
A noisy system: This is either improperly sized ducts or a damaged evaporator coil. Call your HVAC engineer.
In the current economic climate energy bills are increasing on a daily basis. Take control of your energy use without compromising on the comfort of your home by considering an HVAC system.

Bewitching (Hardcover)
Bewitching can be a beast. . . .
Once, I put a curse on a beastly and arrogant high school boy. That one turned out all right. Others didnt.
I go to a new school nowone where no one knows that I should have graduated long ago. Im not still here because Im stupid; I just dont age.
You see, Im immortal. And I pretty much know everything after hundreds of yearsexcept for when to take my powers and butt out.
I want to help, but things just go awry in ways I could never predict. Like when I tried to free some children from a gingerbread house and ended up being hanged. After I came back from the dead (immortal, remember?), I tried to play matchmaker for a French prince and ended up banished from France forever. And that little mermaid I found in the Titanic lifeboat? I dont even want to think about it.
Now a girl named Emma needs me. I probably shouldnt get involved, but her gorgeous stepsister is conniving to the core. I think I have just the thing to fix that girland it isnt an enchanted pumpkin. Although you never know what will happen when I start . . . bewitching.
