The app is ok. It doesn't offer everything that you get on their website. For example, you don't get the to find potential relatives on the phone app or send emails to other members. All you can do is look at your results and and answer their questionnaires. Once you've completed all the research questions and looked at your results, the app becomes pretty useless.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Private equity firm The Gores Group may hit the brakes on its $15 a share buyout of Pep Boys (PBY - Get Report), as the auto parts and repair giant slipped to a loss in the fourth quarter of 2011, and reported weaker-than-forecast preliminary first quarter earnings on Tuesday.
In a regulatory filing released on Tuesday morning, Gores Group raised questions as to whether the "serious deterioration in Pep Boys business" since the company announced a late January buyout could precipitate a material adverse event, which would allow the buyer to cancel the deal. The notice sent Pep Boys shares sharply lower -- down close to 25% -- and at under $12, below the pre-buyout share price.
Gores Group said that it notified Pep Boys management on April 26 that it may try to cancel the buyout if a review of the company's finances shows that diminished sales and profitability counted as a violation of their January merger agreement.
"In light of this downturn, the projections provided to the board are no longer accurate, and Pep Boys may have experienced a material adverse effect or may have violated covenants contained in the Merger Agreement," Gores Group stated in the filing.The Los Angeles-based private equity firm said they notified Pep Boys of their concerns on April 26 and will delay a special shareholder meeting to vote on the merger by 30 days to review the company's finances. On Tuesday, Pep Boys said that it forecast revenue for the first quarter to be as much as $526 million, leading to a possible profit of between zero to $2 million -- earnings below management's forecast and an $8 million profit at this time last year. "Pep Boys believes that its first quarter results were below expectations due to a variety of factors occurring in the ordinary course of business," said the firm in a statement. Pep Boys reported a fourth quarter loss of over $4 million on roughly 5% year-over-year sales growth to $505 million. That represented the Philadelphia-based company's first quarterly loss since the fourth quarter of 2009, a time when the U.S. economy was in recession and the auto industry was on the verge of collapse.

Matclone, I thought you might enjoy this article I was reading. Since I never listen to talk radio I can't offer my own critique of the article but I bet you would agree (and Chance would probably disagree) with a lot of what is said.
I remember not too long ago the right was up in arms that anyone would dare criticize the previous president in a "time of war". Are we not still at war?
Both sides have the right to comment on the current president be it 43 or O. America realizes that the republicans are livid that they have lost the last 2 elections. It's what has turned people off to whatever message they are trying to convey.
Thanks, I'm not sure I got to the end of the article, but, yeah, it's nice to see someone else shares my point of view and identifies some of the features of talk radio that I've mentioned, such as:
--use of propaganda techniques
--conversation at maturity level of the teenager
--the angry white man in the suit (OReilly is the archetype)
--the appeal to nativism
I didn't get to the end either, it was really long
you will like this. Kind of funny.

what a game by gordon..exceeded expectations
Meh, good game though
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
RIP HunnyB
This fits HunnyB/FlyGirl so well- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyzTiSEfM00
I only watch the highlights of Gordon, and my goodness. I think this is what Monty and Dell envisioned with this offense. Granted we got down by 21 to the bobcats, so it was, by no means, a well played game, but Gordon's shots that went in didn't even move the net. Gave me chills thinking about what a healthy gordon could mean to this franchise long term.
Still undecided on what the team will actually do with Gordon though.
They are gonna say>> ERIC, do you want us to go get a #1, #2 or #3 !? Gordon is a better PG, than a #2 ! But, if we can land a CP3 or a Jennings or a Will Bynum, then OK ! But, listening to the interview with Joel Myers last night, one gets the feeling that EGO likes being "THE FACILITATOR" ! we'll see. If he stays healthy, he is filthy good !
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
Watching the game I can see why Dell and Monty drafted Austin. With Gordon you don't need to have a classic PG in the game because Gordon is such a great penetrator, ball handler and distributor for a SG that it is much more beneficial to have a combo guard ala Austin Rivers next him. If Austin can develop and become a better shooter... Rivers/Gordon can be a deadly combo for us.

Governor Perry took to the podium Tuesday night, celebrating his third term in office.
Already, some say he's showing an uncanny resemblance to another former Texas governor.
I wanna challenge the new faces in Washington to go above their pay grade, he said.
But will Texans ever see Governor Rick Perry's face in the White House? Was there any hint of presidential talk in last night's speech?
Not in thespeech itself, because his speech is the same one he gave during the campaign -- which is anti-Washington, said SMU professor of political science, Cal Jillson.
Jillson says for Perry to declare plans to go to the capitol now wouldn't bode well, before testing the waters.
He's going on a book tour and one thing he will try to gauge is how he's received outside of Texas by conservatives and the rest of the country. And that'll help him make up his mind if there's a future beyond the government of Texas, Jillson added.
Former President George W. Bush was pretty open and confidant about making a presidential bid, while serving as Texas governor.
But, for Perry to try to follow in the same footsteps too soon, could be a misstep.
I think the country isn't looking for any more Texas leadership in the short term. So, a generation down the road - maybe so. But, I think the country is a little bit weary of guys out of Texas and cowboy boots, said Jillson.

ClickZ quizzes McIsaac on the company's in-stream video ad network.
With Apple and Google's recent aggressive moves in the video space, all eyes are on digital moving pictures. Though it doesn't have a consumer brand name, video ad management company Lightningcast is making a mark in this arena. It launched its InStream network in November, becoming the first company to manage a large amount of pre-roll and other in-stream ad inventory across multiple sites on the fly.
The number of publisher sign-ups grew quickly to about 50, and last week Lightningcast hired online and cable veteran Bill Jennings to lead it as chief revenue officer. Jennings oversaw Eastern sales for pioneering online ad network Flycast before taking over new media and business development for A&E.
Last week, ClickZ Features called CEO Tom MacIsaac to discuss the workings of the InStream network, how advertisers are responding to it, and whether he's intimidated by the massive reach of online video's newest titans: Google and Apple.
Q.Why is an in-stream video ad network a good idea?
A. There's a large demand for high-quality video inventory. Right now there's a relatively short list of places where advertisers can go to get it. That list is the portals and the networks' sites.
The rumor is there's a shortage of high-quality video inventory for brand advertisers. The truth is there's a shortage of high-quality managed inventory. There is high-quality inventory out there. It's just very fragmented.
We're creating a single place where advertisers can go and buy high-quality video inventory. It's assembled from a variety of sites, and we've organized them in a way that allows advertisers to buy them in ways that map to their plan.
The reason we in particular can offer something others can't is because of the Lightningcast business. We have the [ad serving technology] platform used by many of the top-tier [video publishers]. We've made that the backbone of a video ad network. We've taken all this inventory and we've standardized it on our platform so it can be bought efficiently and the advertiser can log into our system and access reporting in real time.
Q. You just hired A&E's head of new media and business development to run the network. What's Bill Jennings going to be able to do for you?
A. We needed somebody who had a very strong perspective on what was going on in new media. Bill, on behalf of a major cable network group, has been working on [the question], how does television adapt to an environment where digital media begins to compete with traditional television dollars?
He has very strong long-standing relationships with agencies. He has a lot of credibility with both the traditional side, as well as the interactive side. Before A&E he was the director of the Eastern region at Flycast, so he's worked on an online ad network in the past.
Q. What's the ratio of :15s to :30s you're seeing?
A. We're still seeing the majority of campaigns coming at 30 seconds. Frankly, I'd like to see more :15's. I'd like to see more creative that is created for broadband video, too, versus for television. We're seeing some, but really still very little. And in some cases, made for the Web is really just re-edited television stuff.
Q. How much saleable inventory do you have and what's the advertiser interest?
A. We have an enormous amount of advertiser interest. We launched in November, with five or six major brand advertisers. And we have about a hundred million streams a month of inventory. We have about 50 different sites. Much of it is sites that came to us when they heard of the launch of InStream.
Our sell-throughs are pretty good. I won't give you an exact number, but it's been pretty strong. We've been cautious out of the gate to make sure we're executing properly.
Q. What's upcoming for you?
A. In the mix is mobile -- both wireless phones and portable devices -- as well as cable VOD. Those are both areas that Lightningcast is very active in.
Q. Given the rapid pace of change in the online video space, are you frightened you might have the rug pulled out from under you?
A. Our vision, and how we've architected our platform is to be technology agnostic. At our core, we have a publishing and ad platform for IP video. We build enabling technologies.
Q. Both Apple and Google seem well-positioned to capitalize on ad-supported video, once the glow fades on paid video content. Are you going to compete with those guys?
A. Google either builds or buys. They don't seem to be big on partners. Many others will look to someone like us to help them.
Q. Maybe the "buy" part of "build or buy" could include you.
A.Lightningcast has not escaped interest from the big guys. But I've learned that you build for the long term.

Lab solutions less effective vs dengue, says doctor
MANILA, Philippines—Filipinos should prioritize "more practical" measures to fight dengue rather than some of the expensive laboratory solutions proposed abroad, the country's health research chief said.
"Sometimes the solution is staring us in the face," said Dr. Jaime Montoya, executive director of the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD), during the recent launch of the dengue alert website.
The website http://oltrap.pchrd.dost.gov.ph will monitor every week any potential outbreak in a city or municipality based on the ingenious ovicidal/larvicidal (OL) traps to be set up in all 45,034 public schools nationwide.
Two traps will be installed in each one of the 449,559 classrooms.
The mosquito eggs found in the OL traps will indicate the mosquito density index in the area.
The website will show if the weekly index reaches the critical threshhold, which should prompt more search to destroy mosquito breeding sites.
The dengue virus-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were found to prefer to hatch their eggs in clean, stagnant water and damp rough surfaces in dark areas.
Ingenious yet affordable
Montoya said these ingenious yet affordable OL traps are effective in controlling the mosquito population by destroying the eggs, thus reducing the risk of people being bitten by a dengue virus-carrying mosquito.
The weekly monitoring will also show whether the dengue preventive measures are working, he added.
The website will start reporting next month when all the OL traps have been distributed in the public schools and the teachers begin to report every week through text messages.
"These are simple things we should be doing. We saw this could potentially reduce the problem of mosquitoes," Montoya said.
Practical solutions
"In our analysis, these are the practical solutions we can try," he added.
He was asked about the recent proposal of Australian scientists to infect mosquitoes with bacteria to kill the dengue virus and reduce the life span of mosquitoes.
Montoya said the field results from the experiments may not be realistic "because Australia has no dengue so the environment is artificial."
"So it may not actually work in the actual environment. So let's prioritize the more practical measures with simple solutions," he said.
No vaccine against dengue has been developed although a quick dengue diagnostic kit is already in the pipeline.
"If we're going to do the same thing we've been doing in the last ten years, we won't solve the problem. We have to be more innovative, more practical and more adventurous," Montoya said.
The Department of Health said 42,207 dengue cases have been reported from January 1 to June 8 this year.
Of these, 193 people have died from the dengue hemorrhagic fever, including 50 patients who died this month.
Health officials said dengue peaks from August to October during the rainy season.

Re: IBM CIM Providers for VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.12013-02-05T20:06:04Z in response to SystemAdminThe CIM providers assist with hardware awareness and proper device monitoring. If you don't have them loaded you aren't going to see the correct hardware listed or their status, or be able to interface with the IMM to perform certain remote functions (like running the DSA tool or UpdateXpress).
Not sure about applying the patch after the fact... but you should be using the IBM customized vSphere installers to perform installations or major upgrades on IBM hardware. If you are just using the native VMware provided image, you aren't including IBM specific drivers or the CIM providers.
I recently upgraded to 5.1 build 914609 without issue on top of an installation done with the IBM customized vSphere 5.1 installer.
Re: IBM CIM Providers for VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.12013-03-01T03:18:07Z in response to DaveQI'm also interested in this and a little confused.
I'd to like to get information of FC cards (Both are IBM supplied Emulex and Qlogic) on our X3850's
I'm using Native Vmware install. Can I install IBM CIM Providers for VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.1 package or do I need to use the CIM providers provided by Qlogic and Emulex directly because i'm not using the IBM customized vSphere installed version?
DaveQ 120000P2AP132 PostsACCEPTED ANSWER
Re: IBM CIM Providers for VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.12013-03-01T04:36:50Z in response to SystemAdminI believe the CIM provider bundle can be installed after the fact via the vSphere CLI, given the package's requirements are met (it checks for the vSphere build level). Regarding the other vendor CIM providers, I wouldn't think those are necessary if the IBM bundle is installed, since the IBM one will allow communication with the BIOS, IMM, etc., .... but, then there are the drivers used (or not used). The customized image contains more than just the CIM providers, it also contains customized drivers for HBAs, NICs, as well as drivers for interfacing with a host while it is online to perform future driver/firmware updates via UpdateXpress (connected from a Windows workstation to a vSphere host).
For reference, you can find the various versions of the IBM customized image here:
There will be ISOs and readme files with the drivers and versions included with each image.
Best practice would be to use a vendor-specific image (Dell, HP, IBM, etc.) to ensure complete device coverage. Using the native VMware provided image means you'll be putting various pieces together from different hardware manufacturers, and perhaps some drivers are missing whereas they come with a vendor customized image. Just my .02.
Keep in mind when using a vendor customized image there is always a delay (month or so) after VMware releases an update, to allow for device testing, customization, etc..

Re: never been this excited for gaming system launch since the wii
Initial Impressions:
Very light yet sturdy. The screen is beautiful, I think the best screen I have seen on a mobile device, the touch interafce is super responsive. If you are used to tablets, the interface should be intuitive and user friendly. Some people complained about the inability to use the analog controls on the UI, but I didnt find that a big issue.
Uncharted is definitely the showcase game. The visuals are as good as the PS3, and the controls are just the same. The touch controls are very well implemented, and makes platforming redundant in the game, which may or may not be such a great thing.
Modnation Racers is the game I am spending the most time with. The game is as good as it PS3 counterpart, and features the same level of customization and options.
Little Devaints is a good showcase for the Vita's features, and is fun for a while. Kids loved it a lot but it can get monotonous after a while. Since it came with the bundle, I am not complaining. But I wont pick it up separately.
There were some bugs in the setup. When adding your psn account, it tells you to update,. But when you click update it tells you to select your account. Work around was to use a guest account, then update, and then add your psn account. The Near feature was interesting. It shows other Vita users in a 10 mile radius, what they are playing. You can communicate with them and setup matches, I guess. You can set your privacy levels, like hide your location, hide your games, etc. I definitely wont want people to see I am playing my vita at the workplace!!!
Battery life is pretty good. Out of the box the brightness is set to about 75% and it drains the battery pretty fast. Once I set it to like 30% which is still very bright in a well lit room, it went to almost 5 hours. Also when you put it on standby, the drain is very little.
The bundle came with a 4GB card. I dont plan to buy anything bigger, since its mostly for stuff you buy off PSN and I dont see that happening a lot. You can always backup stuff to your ps3 or PC. So if you run out of space, that is always an option.
I downloaded NBA2K12 for the psp from the store. And it plays just as it did on the psp. There is an option to make the graphics a little bit more sharper on the vita. But its not very noticeable.

Flying on its own
Cardinal Healthcare's yearlong spinoff of hospital technology maker CareFusion almost complete
Many of the devices are computerized to reduce or eliminate human errors that can extend hospital stays or worse. For example, Pyxis drug cabinets use bar codes to make sure medications get put in the right place and that the right medications then get sent to the patient.
To use the Alaris pumps, a nurse or doctor enters the name of the medication and dosing instructions. If the dose is outside the recommended range for that drug or otherwise inappropriate, the pump sounds an alert.
Nancy Pratt, senior vice president for clinical effectiveness with Sharp HealthCare, said the hospital system has 2,200 of the pumps in San Diego County, all connected to a wireless network that allows central monitoring.
She said it's a huge improvement over the old-fashioned approach of relying on nurses to set the pump without many safeguards, a system that made occasional mistakes inevitable.
"That can happen just like when you dial a phone and you hit the wrong number," Pratt said. "It's a certainty that a human being programming a pump will make a mistake a certain percentage of the time."
The business has grown rapidly under Cardinal. Revenue in the medical technology segment has grown 21 percent a year since 2004, reaching $4.5 billion in the fiscal year that ended in June 2008. Earnings grew 15 percent a year to $662.7 million.
Excluding certain businesses that Cardinal will retain, the CareFusion operation generated $342.4 million in earnings for fiscal 2008 on $3.8 billion in revenue.
Schlotterbeck said Cardinal invested almost $2 billion in two significant acquisitions that helped fuel some of the growth. In 2007, Cardinal paid $1.4 billion for Viasys Healthcare, a maker of respiratory products based in the Philadelphia suburbs that was generating about $600 million in annual revenue at the time.
Last year, Cardinal paid $490 million for Enturia, a Kansas company whose ChloraPrep infection-prevention product disinfects the skin before surgical and vascular procedures. Enturia was generating $140 million a year in revenue.
Combining the businesses solved a big problem they faced on their own: difficulty competing with large health care companies such as Baxter and Abbott that sell a wide range of products to hospitals.
But doing it required the financial heft of Cardinal, a $90 billion company that ranks 19th among the Fortune 500. "It would not have been possible without Cardinal," Schlotterbeck said.
The emergence of CareFusion marks the latest of many twists and turns for the one-time Alaris business. It was created in 1996 through the merger of Imed and Ivac, two San Diego companies that fought as rivals for almost 25 years.
Ivac had started out in the medical pump business in 1967, but several executives left amid a proxy fight in 1972 and started the competing company, Imed.
By the late 1990s, Alaris' revenue exceeded $350 million, but it was not profitable. When Schlotterbeck took over as CEO in 1999, he was in a difficult position.
By 2000, as the company lost money a fifth straight year, the stock traded as low as 31 cents a share. Schlotterbeck said it was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.

SINCE ITS ADVENT TEN YEARS AGO, the compact disc has become the preferred format for listening to recorded music. Despite a list price almost twice that of cassettes and cover art that pales compared with that of phonograph albums, the CD is popular for its superior reproduction of sound and its ability to cram an incredible amount of music onto a single platter. One consequence of the disc boom is a dramatic shift in the way record companies compile and market works of music, especially reissues—rereleases of previously recorded material. As it happens, many of those retro recordings are of Texas music, since our heritage boasts more styles, hybrids, and traditions than any other in America, and our musicians evoke a sense of place like no one else.
Which make for the best listening? To save you the hassle of figuring what is out, what is planned, what has been released on import labels only, and whether a greatest hits retrospective is preferable to an unembellished reissue of one particular piece, we've put together our guide to Texas music on CD. Because the availability of music varies, our list is restricted to domestic releases only, even though foreign labels do a far more thorough job of reviving lost or forgotten sides. And since Texas music is so hard to define because of all its cross-pollinated influences, we chucked the usual categories in favor of our own descriptions. We also included a wish list in anticipation of future reissues.
Keep in mind: This is only a sampler. It's entirely possible that your taste differs from ours. Which is fine; Lord knows, there is plenty of Texas to choose from.
In the Beginning …
… THERE WAS JUST MUSIC AND PEOPLE PLAYING IT. Studios, managers, agents, marketing experts, and talent scouts bearing six-figure contracts were nowhere to be found. Then along came the piano roll, just in time for a young black composer from Texarkana named Scott Joplin to commit three of his tunes—"Maple Leaf Rag," "Ole Miss Rag," and "Magnetic Rag"—to posterity.
Claiming ragtime as a Texas invention is a bone of contention, since Joplin was working in Sedalia, Missouri, when he came into prominence. Regardless of where it was hatched, ragtime is Texas' version of classical music: Formal and proper, with the music actually written down on paper before being performed, and largely intended for the edification of a well-heeled, seated parlor crowd. But Joplin's ragtime was so loaded with idiosyncrasies, like a wandering trill here and an uplifting arpeggio there, that it must have set toes to tapping under all those petticoats and trousers.
Elite Syncopations (Biograph) is the best anthology of Joplin's music, primarily for the three songs that Joplin actually played himself. His work is generally regarded as a nostalgia confection, the kind heard over the sound systems of all the best old-time ice cream shops. But it deserves to be taken more seriously, as the surprise twists, turns, and minor progressions of "A Real Slow Drag" aptly demonstrate.
"Hot Dogs," on Blind Lemon Jefferson's King of the Country Blues (Yazoo), suggests that Texas' most celebrated street singer took up where Joplin left off—quirky tem- po shifts, chord changes, and all. At the same time, the song that precedes it, "Matchbox Blues," drops all the gussied-up ruffles and flourishes, cutting to the bone with one of the first and finest recordings of raw down-on-the-farm blues.
Although nowhere near as earthy and as direct as Jefferson, the enigmatic Huddie Ledbetter, a.k.a. Leadbelly, cut a considerably wider swath as a folk artist, a benefit of being discovered by John and Alan Lomax, the Texas scholars who secured Leadbelly's release from Louisiana's Angola prison and virtually created the musical folklore movement. Midnight Special (Rounder) consists of Leadbelly recordings that the Lomaxes made for the Library of Congress between 1934 and 1942, including sessions made inside Angola. The song list is impressive: two versions of the sentimentally timeless "Irene," the coke addicts' anthem "Take a Whiff On Me," "The Midnight Special," and "Frankie and Albert," the two-timing saga that survives as "Frankie and Johnny."
Also recommended: The six- CD boxed set Jimmie Rodgers: The Singing Brakeman (available by mail order; $120, plus $4 shipping, from Rediscover Music, 705 S. Washington Street, Naperville, IL 60540-6654, 800-232-7328) or the eight-volume series (Rounder) featuring Rodgers, America's Blue Yodeler and the father of country music, who toured Texas extensively, sang about it ("T for Texas"), recorded in Dallas and San Antonio, and, at the peak of his career, moved to Kerrville for his health; Solo Flight, by Charlie Christian ( VJC), the Oklahoman who rambled around Dallas while developing what is considered to be the first electronically amplified guitar sound and eventually joined the Benny Goodman Sextet; and the soon-to-be-released Grey Ghost (Spindletop), featuring 88-year-old Roosevelt T. Williams, who, eight decades after Scott Joplin, works his way through such standards as "Somebody Stole My Gal" and "You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You," infusing them with elements of barrelhouse piano, New Orleans jazz, hokum, blues, and yes, even a trace of ragtime.
PERHAPS THE MOST COMPELLING of all of Texas' musicmakers are the songsters, part of a tradition that dates back to cowboys' spinning yarns around the campfire. One of the first to learn the old stories and songs was a University of Texas student from Panola County who fell under the influence of J. Frank Dobie and Alan Lomax. Tex Ritter, as he came to be known, was one of the first singing cowboys on record. His music survives on Tex Ritter: The Country Music Hall of Fame Series ( MCA), a light-ly annotated sixteen-song anthology important for renditions of "Get Along Lit-tle Dogies," "Ai Viva Tequila," and "Singin' in the Saddle." Just as good is Don Edwards: Songs of the Trail (Warner Bros. Western), a collection of cowboy songs in the Ritter tradition by the present-day bard of the Fort Worth Stockyards.
Mance Lipscomb, a sharecropper from Navasota, sang largely for his neighbors' and his own enjoyment

Cheltenham 2015 Tips
The Cheltenham Festival continues to be the most competitive event in the National Hunt racing calendar and 2015 will be no different. Finding winners can be tricky but we hope to provide great previews and analysis that can help you make informed decisions with your 2015 Cheltenham tips.
The 2014 festival proved as tough as always, however we managed to secure good profit with five winners at good odds. Those winners were:
Faugheen 3/1 – Neptune Investment Hurdle
Sire De Grugy 3/1 – Queen Mother Champion Chase (Advised on Twitter)
Taquin Du Seuil 9/1 – JLT Novices Chase
Fingal Bay 7/1 – Pertemps Final Hurdle
More Of That 14/1 – Ladbrokes World Hurdle (Advised on Twitter)
Cheltenham Day 1 Tips
The big race of the opening day at Cheltenham is the Champion Hurdle. Last year's hero Jezki will be bidding to retain his crown, where he looks set to face stiff competition again from The New One and upcoming star Faugheen. The opening day could be dominated by Willie Mullins, who could well have the favourite in each of the four Grade 1 contests on the card with the likes of Faugheen, Vautour, Annie Power and a number of exciting novices in the Supreme Hurdle. Listen to the famous Cheltenham roar as the racing kicks off.
Cheltenham Day 2 Tips
Day two at Cheltenham sees the Queen Mother Champion Chase as the feature, a race won by recent greats such as Sprinter Sacre, Sizing Europe, Master Minded and Moscow Flyer. Seeing the best two-milers fly over the fences at Cheltenham is one of the best sights of the festival. The other highlights include the Neptune Hurdle, which has thrown up high class horses such as Simonsig, The New One and Faugheen in recent years. Future Cheltenham Gold Cup horses could emerge from the RSA Chase, whilst the Champion Bumper is often a race that throws up superstars of the future.
Cheltenham Day 3 Tips
The big race of day three at Cheltenham is the Ladbrokes World Hurdle. Dominated recently by Big Buck's, last year saw two new stars of the game battle it out up the famous hill, as More Of That got the better of Annie Power. More Of That looks like he could be set to defend his crown and he could face some exciting prospects from last year's novice ranks. The other highlights include the best novice and open chasers over 2m4f and a bunch of fiercely competitive handicaps.
Cheltenham Day 4 Tips
Day four is all about the big race of the festival – the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Not only is it the biggest race of the festival, it's also the most prestigious race of the National Hunt season. This is where true legends are made, with the likes of Long Run, Denman and the legendary Kauto Star amongst the recent winners. The 2015 Gold Cup could be one of the most exciting renewals of recent times. The day kicks off with the Triumph Hurdle which can be a pointer to stars of the future, as can the Albert Bartlett which promises to throw up some impressive stayers that could go on to be Gold Cup hopes in the future.
All Cheltenham tips will be posted here, including ante post selections. Keep an eye out for our previews and selections to make sure you have a winning festival.

Who's Hot & Not
- Week 2Sept. 12 Games
Past Hot and Not:
2007 Hot & Not |
2008 Not & Not
By Richard
Hot …
10. Cincinnati The Bearcats missed the cut last week by virtue of a Monday opener, but it's not too late to sing their praises. Dubbed as a rebuilding year because of the loss of so many defensive starters, Cincinnati has readjusted everyone's expectations, torching Rutgers and Southeast Missouri State by a combined score of 117-18. It's been so far, so good for that defense, while the Tony Pike to Mardy Gilyard connection has been unstoppable through the air.
9. The UCLA D The Bruin offense had very little to do with Saturday's upset of Tennessee in Knoxville. The defense was the catalyst for the second straight week, limiting the Vols to 208 total yards and no touchdowns over the final 48 minutes. UCLA leads the Pac-10 in takeaways, thanks largely to FS Rahim Moore's nation's-best five interceptions.
8. Georgia Tech DE Derrick Morgan Hidden in the shadows of Michael Johnson, Darryl Richard, and Vance Walker last season, Morgan has erupted into a force for the Yellow Jacket defense. He already has five sacks, tied for tops in the country with Connecticut DE Lindsey Witten and Pittsburgh LB Adam Gunn. In Thursday's win over Clemson, he was relentless in the pursuit of Kyle Parker, getting to him three times in just the first two quarters.
7. The Virginia Tech ground gameThe Hokies have officially found their answers to Darren Evans' season-ending knee injury. Sure, it was against Marshall, but Tech made a statement on Saturday, cranking out 444 yards on the ground. Of that total, redshirt freshman Ryan Williams had 164 and three scores on 16 carries and true freshman David Wilson had 165 and a touchdown on a dozen carries. Yup, the Hokies are set in the backfield for a long, long time.
6. West Virginia QB Jarrett BrownHe's not Pat White. Maybe that's no longer a criticism. The senior has been very sharp in his first two games at the helm, completing 43-of-57 passes for 577 yards, four touchdowns, and a pick, adding 142 yards and a score on the ground. Plus, he carved up a very good East Carolina pass defense in Morgantown, accounting for 407 yards and four scores, while throwing just seven incompletions.
5. Purdue RB Ralph BoldenTwo games into his first season as a starter, the sophomore leads the country with 357 yards and four scores on 50 carries, a whopping seven-yard average per carry. He picked up 123 yards and two scores in the tough loss to Oregon, while also getting involved in the passing game. As the Boilermakers shift to a more traditional attack, Bolden will continue to be the primary beneficiary.
4. Boise's DefenseA week after cutting out the legs of the high-powered Oregon offense, the no-name Broncos pitched a shutout of Miami (OH), 48-0. In two games, Boise State has given up only eight points and not a single touchdown pass, ranking in the top 10 nationally in scoring, total, rushing, and pass efficiency defense.
3. Texas Gunslingers In the span of a couple of hours, Houston's Case Keenum and Texas Tech's Taylor Potts combined to throw for 822 yards and 10 touchdowns in wins over Oklahoma State and Rice, respectively. Potts accounted for seven of those scoring strikes, shaking off an average debut as Graham Harrell's successor. The two hurlers meet this week in Houston in a game tailor-made for fantasy followers.
2. The Cougars Unless you're at Wazzu, it was an unusually good weekend to be a Cougar. Houston shocked No. 5 Oklahoma State in Stillwater, a bellwether moment for a program that hasn't made a national imprint in almost two decades. It's destined to join the BCS buster discussion along with those other Cougars, BYU, which snacked on Tulane, 54-3, in an obvious sandwich game between Oklahoma and Florida State.
1. True freshmen quarterbacks Ahhh, to be young and completely oblivious to the 100,000 or so screaming fans in attendance. Michigan's Tate Forcier and USC's Matt Barkley had two of the more memorable moments ever for rookie quarterbacks ... just a few hours apart. Forcier rallied the Wolverines from behind against Notre Dame, throwing the winning touchdown pass with just 11 ticks left on the clock. Barkley one-upped his classmate later on in the Horseshoe, engineering an 86-yard, come-from-behind touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter. If these kids continue to refuse to act their age, how soon before they face each other in Pasadena?
... and Who's Not? (Week 2)

Skye Jethani's new book The Divine Commodity explores how consumerism has impacted our understanding of church, worship, mission, community, and God. He also offers insights into how we can overcome the influence of "Consumer Christianity" and awaken our imaginations through practicing private and corporate spiritual disciplines.
In keeping with that theme, Out of Ur is sponsoring a contest to see whether Urbanites can spot Consumer Christianity when they see it. Here's how it works:
1. Write a working definition of "Consumer Christianity" in 100 words or less AND/OR send a photograph that captures the essence of Consumer Christianity. (Extra points will be awarded for entries Url Scaramanga finds original, funny, or so insightful it makes him stop and say, "Hmmm".)
2. Email your definition/photo to Url at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
3. Include your name and mailing address.
4. The best entries will be posted on Out of Ur and Url will select 50 winners to receive free copies of The Divine Commodity.
Here are examples of what we mean:
Consumer Christianity: A divergent form of the Christian faith followed by many in Western culture easily identified by large quantities of Jesus-branded merchandise but lacking Jesus' character, self-sacrifice, or prophetic voice.

NEW YORK ( Bullion Bulls Canada) -- Observant precious metals investors would have recently noticed a rare -- almost unheard of -- occurrence: A bullion market where prices actually respond to supply/demand fundamentals. No, obviously I'm not referring to either the gold or silver market, but rather the platinum market.
Analysis was provided by a
Specifically, the article noted that recycling in the platinum market had quadrupled over the last decade. Compounding that bearish supply factor, industrial demand has softened considerably, and even jewelry demand has been shown to be more price-sensitive than previously thought.
The combination of these factors has meant that platinum inventories are abundant, and with weak supply/demand fundamentals and abundant inventories, prices have floundered. The price of platinum is now trading below the price of gold (a very unusual situation).With a concrete example illustrating both supply/demand fundamentals and how markets are supposed to respond to those fundamental, the extreme/serial manipulation of the

Western hypocrisy toward Africa
•When hypocrites look into a mirror, they see the assemblage of angels
THE West continues to present to Africa the wrong side of a rough stick. So accustomed to the brusque treatment, Africa now makes only mild protestations then meekly endures the bias as if chained to it. In ways big and small, Africa is put down and betrayed. Instead of holding out for justice, we have gotten to the point where we beam ecstatic for a small cloth towel to be tossed across our backs to slightly cushion the load thrust upon us by our own failings and the unjust designs of others. Our sense of proportion and ability to discern the intricate patterns of the global political economy have frayed. We are stirred to high emotion by contretemps that are but minor plays in the grander scheme of things. Yet we treat the sweeping issues of our existence like squalls in a saucer. We confuse salience and visibility for profundity. We often miss the big picture because we are too busy staring at the flashy one.
For weeks, media rode the story of Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's candidacy for the World Bank. This respected Nigerian economist was eminently qualified for the position but her candidacy was ill-fated upon its very launching. The American was always to win. Had the United States sent forth a three-legged, blind and deaf pack mule for the position, that wretched animal would now be the occupant of the highest office in the building that houses the World Bank. This was never a contest in the true sense of the word. The drama around the illusory competition for the position was contrived. The Western press that endorsed the Nigerian knew this one was over before they went to press. The writing was on the wall before they wrote in their newspapers and journals. They knew their writings would not turn around those who had already made the decision yet would make them look enlightened and less bigoted in the eyes of the developed world. Theirs was an empty gesture akin to presenting a housewarming gift to someone whose mortgage has been foreclosed.
All of this was intended to make Africa feel good, to make us feel progress. Yet, we should rather see to live progress than only to feel it. Most of us swallowed the dangling bait. Upon the nomination of Dr. Kim, we all applauded that Africa had engaged in such a good fight that the World Bank nomination process forever would be altered, the process of selecting the Bank's leader would be transparent and merit-based henceforth. These are fine notions. But when weighed against reality, they are more chimerical than concrete.
The term of the Bank's president is five years. Five years from now, the American White House will likely be occupied by a conservative white Republican and his biased minions as the current occupant's longest possible leasehold would have expired. It is beyond imagination to believe this future American president would conclude that fairness demanded that he endorse an African candidate for the World Bank. Since his predecessor, the proclaimed son of Africa, did feel compelled to do so, the next American president will also not be thusly inclined. More probably, that future president will gather his conservative advisors, asking them point blank: "Are we still the biggest contributor to the World Bank?" They will answer affirmatively. He will then ask, "Who is our guy for the job?" They will tell him. He will instruct them to inform Western European allies of the selection. Nothing more need be done. The Europeans will understand where their votes must go. All of this will be done in private and on the quick. Yet, it will be lethally effective. In the current era, the vaunted objectives of transparency and merit are just the fluff of which pillows and the dreams of the powerless are made.
The lesson to learn from this is that we should not seek moral victories on minor issues only to fall prostrate and silent to defeat on the more transcendent ones. Africa's central gripe with the World Bank is not its executive selection process but with the very nature of the bank itself. This episode reveals that the moniker "World Bank" is also a misnomer. The Bank does not belong to the world nor is its true objective to develop poor nations. The Bank is an adjunct of the foreign machinery of the major economic powers. It will help a poor nation to the extent the assistance promotes the economic-commercial objectives of the money behind the Bank. The Bank is not organized as it is nor is it based on the institutional values that it has in order to help nations develop as those nations see fit. The Bank is configured to get recipient nations to behave according to script. Consequently, the World Bank belongs less to the world and more to Treasury Department of the United States and Finance Ministries of other western governments.
This dichotomy between the needs of the developing world and the motives of the major economies is where Africa's attention should focus. Fighting to head such an organization will provide a transient psychological lift that could prove pyrrhic in the longer term. The esteemed Kofi Annan led the UN but Africa did not experience a new day because of it. We are no better for it. Barack Obama presides over the American government. Ask the average black American if his life has changed. His response would be "yes, mostly for the worse." Here again, we are too fixated on position and person. In the vast interplay of factors, these are secondary considerations. Unless they enter with a mandate calling for dramatic reform, most leaders are more captives of their large bureaucracies than they are captains of it. Consequently, we need to be more interested in the nature and operational values of the institutions and organizations themselves.
If you look at the history of the World Bank, there is little to cheer. Apart from the reconstruction of war-torched Western Europe in the 1940s, its record for success is scant while its list of failure is ample. Simply putting an Africa at the helm would not change the nature of the institution. It would more likely change the nature of the African.
In the end, Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala may thank her guiding stars that she did not attain this job. Nigeria likewise may give thanks. If her mandate would not have been substantial reform, there would have been danger in her appointment. It would have been tantamount to assigning one of your finest generals to head the very army invading your country. Better that Africa work in unison to reform the Bank than to place one of their most skilled children atop this beast the child really cannot control.
Last week, one of America's finest diplomats, Johnnie Carson, delivered an address regarding Boko Haram. His thesis was that Boko Haram was born of abject poverty in Northern Nigeria. He proposed the Nigerian government constitute a Ministry of Northern Nigeria to jumpstart an economic development plan in that region. The proposed new Ministry is a bit duck-footed, mostly inappropriate for the savannahs of the North. However, his analysis was more wrong than right but in need of some refinement. True, Boko Haram and similar groups cannot flourish in an environment of economic development and social progress. They can never get enough adherents in congenial times. Poverty is a major factor but not the sole one as Carson seemed to aver. Human beings have deep capacity to endure poverty. What ignites the fire is unjust poverty. In environments made bitter by the confluence of poverty, injustice and a legacy of governmental heavy handedness and easy resort to violent repression of the people, a group like Boko Haram is an eventuality. The group has little to do with Islam. Islam is just the pretext used to cover the anti-establishment nihilism of its foot soldiers.
However, the biggest fault with Mr. Carson's address was not his analysis. It was in his choice of audience. While directed Nigeria, the address should have been made to his own government. In other words, America should practice what it preaches. America is involved in epic wars with two predominantly Muslim countries and in shooting feuds with several others. In all of these, America does not say it is battling the scourge of poverty. It does not seek to end the warfare by economically empowering those it is fighting. Instead, it labels these people radical Islamic extremists born of evil. Then America shoots or bombs them on sight and often on conjecture as to their identity and location. America and the world would be much better if it followed the pacific advice Carson offered Nigeria. America could even carry this message into its domestic law enforcement. Instead of spending so much time and money jailing minority youth living in America's super-ghettoes and calling the youth incorrigible criminal gang members, government could direct more of its expenditures toward development and job programs in the blighted neighbourhoods.
Had Carson or any official the temerity to direct such advice publicly at his bosses, he would be asked to clear his desk and hand over the keys to his office before the end of the breakfast hour. The West will not adhere to the path it devises for others. America's military complex will continue to spend billions of dollars attempting to grind opponents into the sand. Last year, they heralded the killing of Osama bin Laden, saying it would make the world a better place. Bin Laden is gone but there is no more safety in today's world then when he was alive.
Even worse is the situation in Sudan. Naming the deal struck between the two sides, "the Comprehensive Peace Agreement," must have been a cynical joke by one of its scribes. The lack of clarity concerning the boundaries of several oil-rich areas turned the so-called peace agreement into an inevitable invitation to war. As such, the creation of Southern Sudan was both a birth and abortion at the same time. The two sides are at war as this column predicted several months ago. As complex as things seem, the reality is even more convoluted. Here there are smaller factional and sub-factional wars within the emerging war between the two Sudans. Worst, there is an international proxy war over control of the oil fields. China is betrothed to Khartoum although it wants to break the engagement because South Sudan now looks more beautifully endowed. The West believes South Sudan owes it but Juba wants a free hand and is trying to wiggle from the West's manacles. The current fighting will limit the space for diplomatic maneuver. Juba is beholden to the West, via Uganda, for war materiel and to the West for diplomatic support. There is no question as to who shall profit once the boundaries are delineated to favor South Sudan. The current fisticuffs will help the West checkmate China.
Perhaps the worse instance of the West's double standard is Ethiopia. Prime Minister Meles Zenawi is the "reverse Mugabe." The Zimbabwean took from a handful of whites to give to the native masses. The Ethiopian takes from the black masses to give to a few whites. While Mugabe is ostracized and boycotted, Meles is invited to global conferences and feted while his people are starved and forcibly evicted from ancestral lands. The West smiles and ignores the ongoing tragedy because the man does the dirty work they find difficult to do themselves these days. Once a revolutionary progressive, the man is nothing if not a reactionary turncoat who would rather earn a paternalistic rub of his head by the Western powers than the love and respect of the broadest representation of his fellow citizens.
Mostly this is about land and oil. The people of the Ogaden region are being forced from their homes through systematic use of rape and forced starvation because of the oil underfoot. The people of the Omo valley are being moved for the arable land under their feet. Meles is dealing the land to modern, highly mechanized agricultural concerns from outside Africa. What he is doing in Omo he previously did to the people of the Gambella province.
This leader is the author of serial atrocities affecting hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. Yet he is so callous that he participated in the African Union (AU) recent commemoration of the 18th anniversary of the Rwandan massacres. The cynical act is akin to a premeditated murderer being the loudest mourner at his victim's funeral. What does the West say to this? It says a collective nothing. There are no self-righteous shouts coming from Western diplomats at the UN that Meles must be stopped or ousted because he is killing his own people. He has put to the sword or to slow death at least ten fold more than Qaddafi. Yet, the only NATO bombs Meles will see are the ones given him to use against others. When Meles imposed a media blackout, there was no outcry. There will be no CNN, BBC or Al Jazeera report against him because he has fashioned himself to be the handyman who does the evil bidding in the Horn of Africa for the great powers.
His excuse is that he is trying to rapidly turn a medieval society into a modern one. He is attempting to leap centuries of development within decades. If he must break a few bones in the process, no price is too dear for western-backed progress. The excuse does not wash. It is never a good idea to try to emerge from the Dark Ages by using Dark Age tactics. Death is death and murder is murder. Those in the West who hound lesser villains yet smile upon his ethnically-driven madness are no better than Meles. At the very least, they should have something to say in the face of such gross inhumanity. They remain silent because their heart is never as big as their pocketbook and their principles never as compelling as their love of power and want to exterminate those they do not like.
In the end, black Africa must decide whether to follow the truth it knows or the fables others give it. Black people are like any other people. We have our flaws and are to bear responsibility for much of what has befallen us. That we have often injured ourselves does not mean we must accept the injuries and false claims put upon us by others. This means we have to do much better at thinking and judging affairs and events for ourselves than in being happy to follow the prescripts of others. We have been told to be satisfied to have the chance to sing the lyrics given us in the style demanded. At this stage, we should not be stilled until we write the song that suits us. Once we write it, we may sing it in any manner we please.
