Harness Racing
In winning a $75,000 leg of the Driscoll Series at the Meadowlands in New Jersey in June, four-year-old pacing gelding Staying Together became harness racing's fastest race miler. His 1 min 48.4 sec broke the previous record of 1 min 49.4 sec set in 1992 at the Meadowlands by Artsplace and equaled the world's fastest time-trial clocking set by Matt's Scooter as a three-year-old in 1988. Staying Together, trained by Robert McIntosh and regularly driven by William O'Donnell for Canadian owner Robert Hamather, won the $205,000 Driscoll final in 1 min 49.4 sec. He appeared to have assured himself of Horse of the Year honours when in October he won the $396,810 Breeders Crown for aged pacers and then completed his campaign by winning the $200,000 Fraser Memorial at Northlands Park in Edmonton, Alta. His 21 victories in 26 starts gave the son of Panorama earnings of just over $1.1 million in 1993.
In August Cambest, a five-year-old son of Cam Fella, became the fastest harness horse of all time with an electrifying 1-min 46.2-sec time trial at Springfield, Ill. William O'Donnell drove the pacer for trainer Fred Grant to demolish the 1-min 48.4-sec record held jointly by Matt's Scooter and Staying Together.
Presidential Ball established an all-age world record on a 5/8-mi track when Jack Moiseyev guided the three-year-old son of Cam Fella to win the $197,472 final of the Miller Memorial at Rosecroft Raceway in Maryland in 1 min 50.6 sec in May. Trained by Bill Robinson for Canadian owner Tony Chiaravalle, Presidential Ball also won the $1 million North America Cup at Greenwood Raceway in Toronto in a track-record 1 min 51 sec and the $1 million Meadowlands Pace at the Meadowlands in 1 min 50 sec. Later the same month, Presidential Ball suffered only his second defeat of the year when archrival Life Sign (driven by John Campbell) won the $301,760 final of the Art Rooney Memorial at Yonkers Raceway, N.Y., in 1 min 52.2 sec on a half-mile track, with Riyadh nosing Presidential Ball out of second.
At Delaware, Ohio, in September, Life Sign turned in the performance of his career to win the coveted Little Brown Jug. Driven brilliantly by Campbell, he prevailed in back-to-back heats of 1 min 52 sec (a world record) over a track dulled by afternoon showers. The son of Abercrombie completed his year by winning the $300,000 Breeders Crown for three-year-old pacing colts at Freehold, N.J., in October, pushing his career earnings past $1.8 million.
Driven by Ron Pierce, the three-year-old colt American Winner in August at the Meadowlands won the $1 million Hambletonian with a 1-min 53.2-sec elimination-heat victory before romping home over archrival Pine Chip in the final with a 1-min 53.4-sec clocking. The time was a world record for two heats by a three-year-old trotter, and the first effort represented the fastest-ever Hambletonian heat win. Soon afterward, American Winner finished first in a $92,500 division of the Zweig Memorial at Syracuse, N.Y., in 1 min 52.6 sec, the second fastest trotting race mile of all time, behind Mack Lobell's 1 min 52.2 sec at Springfield in 1987. Attempting to become the first trotting Triple Crown winner since his sire, Super Bowl, in 1972, American Winner lost to Pine Chip in the Kentucky Futurity after breaking stride repeatedly in the second heat. Pine Chip had won the $532,000 World Trotting Derby at Du Quoin, Ill., in straight heats in September and in October added the $300,000 Breeders Crown three-year-old trot.
Queen L, a seven-year-old mare, wheeled 17 rivals in the final stage to win the Prix d'Amerique over 1 5/8 mi at Vincennes, France, in January. The 1993 Elitlopp, run at Solvalla, Sweden, in June, was won by Sea Cove, a seven-year-old stallion owned and trained in Germany and bred in Canada.
New Zealand-bred seven-year-old gelding Franco Tiger, trained in Victoria by Glenn Tippet for Eric Anderson, was a clear-cut winner of the 1992-93 Inter-Dominion Grand Circuit title, winning four of the eight events. The $NZ 300,000 New Zealand Cup, run November 9 at Addington, Christchurch, was won by Chokin, a five-year-old pacer recording his 19th win in 26 starts.

Big East secession could affect SDSU basketball

Epidemic survivors stress need for mental care
By Tan Ee Lyn
HONG KONG (Reuters) – Joey Lee began suffering severe mood
swings, depression and would sob every day for no apparent
reason soon after she survived a SARS infection while working
as a nurse in a public hospital in Hong Kong in 2003.
Lee and her 8-year-old son, who was not infected, have been
seeing a psychologist since. "He would cry all the time and at
night, he is terrified that my husband and I will die," she
Lee and her friends who are coping with the after effects
of SARS shudder to think what will happen when a feared bird
flu pandemic actually strikes, a catastrophe that will make the
SARS epidemic of 2003 seem like a drop in the ocean.
Health experts have warned for months that the H5N1 bird
flu virus might trigger this disaster if it mutates and becomes
easily transmissible among people. Millions could die.
It was in Hong Kong that H5N1 made its first known jump to
humans in 1997, infecting 18 people and killing six of them.
About 1.5 million chickens were culled to end the outbreak.
The virus flared anew in Asia in late 2003 and since then
67 people have died. The disease is already spreading quickly
in poultry in neighbouring China, where two people have
recently died of bird flu.
The Asian Development Bank says a year-long pandemic could
cost Asian economies $283 billion. Countries are already
stocking up on drugs and experts are calling for thorough
preparation, including counselling for victims and families who
will suffer grief on a scale they probably have not seen in
their lifetime.
Although a contingency plan is in place in Hong Kong, which
officials say would help the city cope with the crisis, Lee and
her friends are not so sure.
"There is no way they can handle a pandemic. Our wards are
too overcrowded and the risk of cross-infection is very high.
Like SARS, they won't know how to handle the survivors and
won't know how to rehabilitate them," said Kelly Lo, a nurse at
Caritas Medical Center who became infected early in 2003 while
tending to patients admitted for fever, a classic symptom of
"I really fear getting infected. I'd rather die than be
admitted to hospital again."
Suffering from bone and spine degeneration because of the
strong steroids she was given when she was admitted to hospital
for SARS in 2003, Lee, now 34, has not been able to return to
work and is terrified of crowded places.
Her son was never infected, but he is still traumatized by
the long separation from his mother when she was in hospital.
SARS, which is believed to have first showed up in southern
China in late 2002, began spreading around the world in 2003.
In Hong Kong, 1,755 people were infected and 299 of them died.
Of those infected, 386 were healthcare workers, six of whom
Many of Lee's colleagues who survived SARS suffer similar
mental and physical disabilities. But doctors here do not seem
to understand that victims of epidemics can be left struggling
with debilitating psychological trauma and depression.
"I was crying everyday and the doctors just said it was all
in my mind…they did not even refer me to any psychologist
until I asked (at the end of 2003)," said Lee, who became
infected while working at Hong Kong's Princess Margaret
A group of experts at the Chinese University is studying
the psychological impact left by SARS. In their interviews with
about 150 survivors so far, the importance of healthcare
support is a consistent theme in feedback.
"In general they agreed they received appropriate care, but
it was not exactly satisfactory," said psychology assistant
professor Winnie Mak. The study will be completed in August
Rita Chiu, who has not been able to return to her work as a
nurse at the Caritas Medical Center and is too weak even to
care for her toddler, said: "Doctors here are only reactive,
not proactive. When you complain (of psychological problems)
they will try to ignore you."
The stigma attached to SARS survivors adds to their
hardship. Many victims cannot find jobs.
Cheung Shuk-man, who quit her attendant job at the Prince
of Wales Hospital after she recovered, said: "When I tell
prospective employers I recovered from SARS, they look at me
like I am a freak. They would go silent and say 'this is all,
please go home and wait for our call'."
In other ways, life is not the same for some survivors.
"I can't even buy insurance. Insurers say they don't know
what other complications I may suffer," said Lo, a former
athlete who now suffers premature bone degeneration.
Psychologist Mak stressed the importance of public
education to inform people about the looming pandemic and to
dispel myths.
"Not knowing what's going on can intensify peoples' fears.
Now that we can prepare, what we tell the public is very
important so as to reduce fears. When people don't know what's
going on, they tend to blame and avoid the victims and
discriminate against them," Mak said.

William Dalrymple Maclagan (1826-1910), Bishop of Lichfield and Archbishop of York
Sitter in 13 portraits
Ordained on leaving university, he served in the Church of England thereafter. In 1869, he was made Rector of the London parish of Newington and six years later became Vicar of St. Mary's Abbots, Kensington. In 1878, he became Bishop of Lichfield and in 1891 he was appointed Archbishop of York, a position that he held for the next seventeen years. He spent much time in visiting his clergy, and within just three years became personally acquainted with the six hundred and fifty parishes of his diocese.

Tunisia Says Oil Workers Abducted in Libya Have Been Freed
April 18 (Bloomberg) -- A group of about 80 Tunisian oil workers abducted in Libya have been freed, Tunisian authorities said today.
The group was taken several days ago near the border with Tunisia, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. A Libyan armed group released the Tunisians, who were taken in retaliation for the arrest of three Libyans in Tunisia, the Interior Ministry said in a separate statement.
The Tunisian-Libyan border area has seen an increase in violence and smuggling in recent months, and the incident underscored the security woes that prevail in oil-rich Libya following the civil war that ousted Muammar Qaddafi last year.
Libya's new government has struggled to rein in the armed militias that are built around regional and tribal loyalties. The groups were instrumental in toppling Qaddafi from power and have largely refused to disarm before the central government provides more funding and services to their respective regions.
Libya's deputy interior minister, Amr al-Khodrawi, was quoted by the Libya News Agency late yesterday as denying reports of the kidnapping.

A Cistern or a Well?
The difference between a cistern and a well is that the first has no constant supply of water from within; the well of water, on the other hand, is supplied by its own hidden springs. No matter how dry the surface of the earth, the well yields its clear, cool, sparkling water for the refreshment of the thirsty.
A cistern is dug out of the rock, or cemented after having been excavated in the earth. Its one requisite is that it must not leak—not let out the water that is put in it. It must have no communication with the earth in which it is dug. A well on the other hand, must have such communication. As the water is drawn out of a cistern its supply runs low; the more we draw from a well the fresher we keep the water. It flows perennially.
Which are we—wells or cisterns? "The water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life," says our Lord (John 4:14). In the heart of the true believer is implanted this well of water supplied through carelessness or worldliness, we allow the well to become choked, but at the bottom the spring is always there.
A cistern of human righteousness—yes, "broken cisterns which can hold no water"—such is the natural man. At the time of greatest need his cistern is dry. Thank God for the well of living water!

I have been reading a bit about some new changes for a newer model slash, and I was wondering what all the differences are?
I heard that the new slash will have the slayer style wheels with the 2.8 inner rim and the 2.2 outer rim, and the new one also has the Slayer body as well. Are there more changes, or is that all? I was going to get a few replacement parts for my truck, but now I'm thinking about just getting an entire new Slash to be "up-to-date" does anyone know what all the other changes are?

The Enterprise took a pounding, right down to ejecting the warp cores. This could easily explain changes to engineering. Heck, I hoped it would be used to explain some external design fixes that would improve the appearance and reception of the new ship.
And did I misread your tone, or are you trolling for a fracas? This is all personal preference and opinion and I am tired of it degenerating into a p*****g contest. That's why I avoided the board for about two months.

First of all, many thanks for providing a very useful tool. My apologies if this topic has been covered before, but I didnt see it being discussed.
I find the Secunia score a bit misleading since 100% does not mean everything on my PC has been checked. At a minimum, it would be nice if the message in Scan Results clarified what 100% meant. For example, you could add: The list includes only those programs from PSIs database of known programs that appeared in the scanned folders on your computer. You can improve PSI by requesting that these additional programs residing on your computer be added to the database. See for instructions.
Even better would be if PSI listed the unknown programs (perhaps just the unknown exe files), identified their full path, and provided a link to request individual programs be added to the database. Doing this would mean Id at least know what wasnt checked, and that I could more easily decide which ones to report to Secunia (as opposed to manually searching for them). Since some programs cannot be monitored by PSI (e.g., they have names that change with each release), it would be useful if the list identified programs that had already been reported and indicated the status (i.e., Submitted, Review in Progress, Accepted for Addition, Rejected, etc.). Providing this status would help prevent duplicate requests to add the program.
The main goal would be to make sure all the programs on the computer were addressed in some way so that I could assess the risk of having some programs that were not verified as being current. Hopefully Control Panels add/remove programs list would be a proper subset of what Secunia reported.
Thanks for the consideration.

The psi already has a Suggest a Program feature.....see Scan Results page, just above Install Solution.
File info. required to suggest a program
"Are you missing a Program?" feature.
Browse and select a file in Windows Explorer that is acceptable for meta data tracking.
Try to find an exe/ ocx or dll file that has a version number attached .
Best is the main exe file....right click on it/select properties/look at the details tab which should have a clear version number. That is the file Secunia are looking for.
The 100% result figure covers all those programs put forward for monitoring......and found to be secure.....but does not include any Beta/Dev versions of programs. Psi is only concerned with Security related updates....it is not a general updater.
Hope the foregoing goes some way towards helping........regards,

|Thanks for the quick response, but perhaps my post wasn't clear. I know that I can find a program on my own and ask to have it added to the database. Once I compared Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs list to what was in the scan report and submitted requests to add about ten programs, many of which were added. I'm keeping track of the rejections so the next time I do the compare I don't resubmit the ones that would be rejected.
My suggestion was to have PSI identify the exe files on my computer, but not in PSI's database so I didn't have to do it manually. Then I'd have a list to go through and I'd get a "warm fuzzy" that I didn't miss a program such as a portable program that never goes into Control Panel's Add/Remove list. I figure PSI already finds all the exe files and just ignores the ones not in its database. If that's true, all PSI has to do is list the ones not in the database so I know what they are.

|It's possible Support may have something to add, if they pick up on this thread, and your suggestion, tomorrow.
Psi 2.0 did however go thro' a thorough and vigorous Beta trial period during which time all manner of suggestions were given very attentive consideration.....personally ( I may be wrong ) but I don't think too much change in that area is in the offing. It also might be the case that many psi users would not want "other programs" listed. Remembering all the time that psi is a free program : the need to concentrate resources is focussed very much on those progs that can be well monitored. I hope I'm not seeming negative.....discussion is always welcomed on the forum........regards,

By James Slater: Brandon Rios, who lost his WBA lightweight title on the scale ahead of his fight with Britains John Murray, kept his unbeaten record with an 11th-round TKO over the brave former European champ last night, but his 135-pound days are almost certainly over.
Oxnards Rios was given a good run for his money by Manchesters Murray, in the early rounds especially, before Bam Bam proceeded to bust his man up around the eyes in the 5th and 6th-rounds. Murray, his face covered with blood, refused to even think about quitting due to the damage Rios heavy hands had inflicted on him, and we were witness to a gutsy effort. In the end, however, Rios was able to overwhelm Murray, blasting him with a series of unanswered head shots that prompted the ref to dive in. It was a good stoppage.
Murray, who has now lost two in a row, both by stoppage, proved his heart last night but he may be destined to rule at European level only. Not a lethal puncher, 26-year-old Murray, now 31-2(18) was simply unable to put a dent in the man a year his junior. Against the other world rulers at 135-pounds, Murray may have the same problem. The exciting, give-his-all warrior can still enjoy a good, significant career, but his immediate future looks to be at domestic and European level.
A rematch with Kevin Mitchell would prove attractive to the fans, as perhaps would the idea of Murray going in with fellow Manchester man Anthony Crolla, who holds the British title. Murray needs a good long rest first, though.
As for Rios, 29-0-1(22), he will almost certainly make the move up to 140 for his next fight. Rios was talking about moving up before his problems at the scale on Friday; hes sure to find the idea of putting on an extra five-pounds even more appealing now. There could be some terrific fights for Bam Bam at light-welter. The idea of Rios Vs. Marcos Maidana (who actually fights up at 147 next, against Devon Alexander), Amir Khan (if Khan sticks around at 140, which looks unlikely unfortunately), Timothy Bradley and even Erik Morales is enough to get fans in a lather.
Rios seems destined to become a big star if he maintains discipline (something he didnt do whilst training for last nights rumble) and can keep his head. An admitted bad boy, Rios looks like a fighter who will be exciting us for at least a few years.

Young buyers are sacrificing stamp duty and first-home buyer grant concessions by entering the market as investors rather than owner-occupiers in an effort to reach home ownership at a faster rate.
This phenomenon is being driven as a result of young first-home buyers being out-bidden by Baby Boomers with existing equity, but still eager to enter the market according to Members Alliance.
Members Alliance CEO David Domingo says young buyers are choosing to invest rather than become owner-occupiers because it also reduces any shift in lifestyle.
"In most cases we have clients in their mid-20s who know they have to take action early on in life in order to set themselves up financially – but are unwilling to move workplace or away from friends and family to live in their first home," says Mr Domingo.
"This has actually encouraged smarter investing; it's forced young buyers to think of what will make a great investment compared to buying a property they would only live in.
"This method also helps young buyers get ahead financially by having someone else, the renter, servicing their home loan."
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the number of first-home buyer commitments as a percentage of total owner-occupied housing finance commitments fell to 12.3% in April 2014 – the lowest figure since data collection commenced in July 1991.
The ABS is currently investigating how strong its first-home buyer loan data is after concerns were raised that 'under-reporting' could be occurring if some lenders were only able to accurately report buyers receiving a first-home buyer grant – something not every first-time buyer is eligible for.
"Young investors are stretching their dollar even further by pooling their funds with family members or partners to afford an above average investment in order to achieve long-term return," says Mr Domingo.
"When the time comes to look at a second investment we'll see these investors move out from their family home and into their first-bought home which they are closer to owning thanks to their strategic investment decisions.
"It's one way to get ahead and it's creating a new type of investor."
If you need help with your first investment property, call 1300 365 731 to find out how Members Alliance can help.

I really did not like this dress at all. ?I ordered a size two and it was still huge! There is really nothing too this dress, it comes too low for a dress with no pull or wiring. ?I didn't end up wearing it because it wouldn't stick with fashion tape. ?It's also much longer than it appears on the model. ?Maybe someone with absolutely no chest and above 5'5 would look great in it i.e. the model.
I was soo excited about this dress... until I got the box. It said in the descirption that model is wearing a 2, so I ordered a 2 since thats what I typically wear, but it was HUGE, so I exchanged it hoping that a 0 would fit, but knowing it was probably too big. Of course it was still huge, and baggy, and didnt sit well on the chest and the arm holes were huge. Very disappointing, that dress had alot of potential

But unlike Smith's Sunny, who always bounces back for another try, Goldberg's Liz is a flailing, romantic defeatistback in a clerking job at a mall store, still pining for her high school boyfriend (another troubled, angry bright kid from a broken home), and still turning to her high school guidance counselor for help. I've fallen into all these details in summarizing Good Thing's setup because Goldberg, though not God, is in the details; unlike Smith, she never withholds any information. The paradoxical result is that we start disbelieving what we hear, and sometimes even what we see. Can Liz's guidance counselor and his wife, over 20 years married with no kids, really never have gone on a vacation before? Can the teenage crackhead her ex married on the rebound, now seven months pregnant, really start twitching at the sight of the drug when she's on the verge of giving birth? Maybe so, but the details Goldberg has chosen don't convince us; instead they're punched at us repeatedly, with a kind of obstinate overemphasis, seconded by Jo Bonney's equally overemphatic production, till they ring increasingly hollow.
Andworse luckthere's no news in the details. When they stop being familiar, they merely become improbable. Say you have a newborn baby; an intruder convinces you you're incapable of caring for it. So you just drive over to the house of the people she suggests and offer it to them. No doubt it could happen in real life; but if the writer hasn't created a life that's convincingly real enough, what it looks like instead is sitcom: Six Jerks and a Baby. For all Goldberg's honorable struggle to realize her characters, they and their barren lives have an ineffably secondhand air: The older couple, forever recriminating about his long-ago adultery with a student, comes from Pinter; the younger quartet, with their drug-induced angst and abrupt rages, are straight out of Shepard. The few verbal bright spots come heavily marked by the playwright's self-consciousness.

Goldberg's finger-pointing combines with Bonney's pressure to put the actors in a tough situation. To underplay and build simply from within would result in work that looked pallid in context; to yield to the pressure virtually means to overstate. Each of the six good actors slips into the latter condition from time to time; to their credit, most of them look damned unhappy about it. The gifted Chris Messina is the worst backslider, attempting to convey drugged adolescence by running around and yelling a lot. Alicia Goranson holds her own, painstakingly, as Liz, and Hamish Linklater, as her ex, is nearly as good. Cara Buono marches through the unconvincing role of the crackhead mom with taut determination, like the White Queen believing six impossible things before breakfast. John Rothman, as the peccant guidance counselor, tiptoes up to his rages as if wishing they would disappear, which is endearing, while Betsy Aidem, as his embittered wife, surrounds her tantrums with a nimbus of I-shouldn't-be-indicating-like-this guilt that's even more so. I started this review by saying that Goldberg's people were more interesting than what they said and did, but here again I have to rethink: Far from seeing the characters in a different situation, I'd simply like to see all the actors in a play by somebody else.

Car rear-ended at Montpelier roundabout
MONTPELIER A female driver was taken to the hospital Tuesday morning after her car was rear-ended by another vehicle, which fled the scene, at the U.S. Route 2 roundabout, city police said.
The woman, Susan Shontelle-Smith, of East Montpelier, was driving a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta to work around 6:20 a.m. when a vehicle crashed into her rear bumper and then fled, police said. She was taken to Central Vermont Medical Center after reporting back pain, police said. A nursing supervisor at the hospital later said she was treated and released.
The other vehicle is believed to be a two-tone or dark station wagon, police said. The male driver fled in the direction of Barre and Berlin, police said.
According to police, the woman was yielding to traffic in the roundabout at the time of the crash.

Quick delivery but the food was not good at all. The Tom Yum soup was inedible and the sesame chicken had no sesame. The rice was mushy and the only taste it had was that of an oily pan. The food was overpriced for the quantity as well; will never order from this place again.

WASHINGTON — Led by Michelle Obama, top members of the Obama administration will fan out across the country next week to participate in community service projects as part of a high-profile effort to spark volunteer work through the summer.
The first lady will join California's first lady, Maria Shriver, to help construct a playground in San Francisco on Monday. As she does, members of the Obama Cabinet will show up at volunteer sites in 15 states plus the District of Columbia.
"It's a way of saying you may not think you can do much, but here is something you can do," said U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, who'll serve breakfast to the homeless at the Second Chance Cafe at The Bridge in Dallas, where he formerly served as mayor.
He's worked at the cafe before and wanted to underscore the need for year-round help.
"During Thanksgiving and Christmas, people are acutely aware of the need to help feed the hungry, but homelessness and hunger is a year-round phenomenon. During the summer is when they go begging for help," Kirk said.
"It's about giving back and serving the community," said Craig Fugate, the administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He's a former volunteer firefighter who'll meet with Community Emergency Response Team volunteers and others who support firefighters in Denver.
He hopes to highlight the work of volunteers who are training people to prepare themselves for emergencies such as earthquakes, hurricanes or tornadoes.
"It's more than just having a disaster kit," he said. "The program teaches people how to turn off the gas so houses don't start on fire, how to use a fire extinguisher. . . . The more people are prepared, the better we do in disasters."
They're kicking off what's called the United We Serve summer, which will run from Monday through the National Day of Service and Remembrance on Sept. 11. The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which President Barack Obama signed into law earlier this spring, set that date as a day of service.
Obama urged Americans this week to focus volunteer efforts over the summer on four areas: community renewal, education, energy and the environment, and health. He also unveiled a new Web site to help people find projects where they can work.
The list of events:
- Michelle Obama will help construct a playground at the Bret Harte Elementary School in San Francisco.
- Defense Secretary Robert Gates will visit wounded soldiers at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington.
- Attorney General Eric Holder will visit the Police Athletic League in Philadelphia and toss the opening tipoff of a youth basketball game.
- Interior Secretary Ken Salazar will work with volunteers from the Youth Conservation Corps and others in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.
- Commerce Secretary Gary Locke will help hold a job search clinic at the La Mesita Family Homeless Shelter in Mesa, Ariz.
- Labor Secretary Hilda Solis will help construct energy-efficient housing for the poor in Los Angeles.
- Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan will help volunteers from the St. Bernard Project rebuild a hurricane-damaged home in New Orleans.
- Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood will work on Habitat for Humanity's Atlantic Avenue project in Brooklyn, N.Y.
- Energy Secretary Steven Chu will help assemble home energy-efficiency kits with the League of Conservation Voters in Battle Creek, Mich.
- Education Secretary Arne Duncan will read to children at Fanwood Memorial Library in Fanwood, N.J.
- Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki will help volunteer drivers transport patients to medical appointments at VA medical centers.
- Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will assemble Community Emergency Response Team kits in preparation for hurricane season in Orlando, Fla.
- _ United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice will visit the Harlem Children's Zone in New York and talk about the emergency relief items that children need in the Congo.
- Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson will help test mercury levels in fish and clean up trash along the Missouri and Kansas rivers at Kaw Point Park, Kan.
- Alonzo Fulgham, the acting administrator of the Agency for International Development, will help an immunization drive in Baltimore.
- Council on Environmental Quality Chairwoman Nancy Sutley will help plant native wetland species in Kingman Lake, a 35-acre wetlands marsh adjacent to the Anacostia River in Washington.
- Small Business Administration Administrator Karen Mills will help counsel aspiring businesspeople at the Southern Maine Community College in South Portland, Maine.
Other members of the Cabinet, including Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, planned volunteer works later.

Latest Hubble Space Telescope Stories
A massive, high-definition panorama taken by the Hubble Space Telescope is being called the largest picture ever taken, and it shows Andromeda in unprecedented detail, depicting over 100 million individual stars and traversing a 48,000 light-year-long stretch of the galaxy.
In honor of its upcoming 25th anniversary, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has revisited the site where it captured one of its most iconic images, the three giant columns of cold gas known as the "Pillars of Creation."
A titanic eruption took that took place at least two million years ago forced gases and other materials outward at speeds of up to two million miles per hour, and astronomers are just now witnessing the aftermath of the explosion thanks to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
Primary Optical Payload Raises Bar for Most Powerful Space Telescope Ever Built PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan.
Some like it hot, but for creating new stars, a cool cosmic environment is ideal. As a new study suggests, a surge of warm gas into a nearby galaxy -- left over from the devouring of a separate galaxy -- has extinguished star formation by agitating the available chilled gas.
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have completed the largest and most sensitive visible-light imaging survey of dusty debris disks around other stars.
Just in time for Halloween, the Hubble Space Telescope has detected faint ghost light emitted from stars that had been ejected from an immense collection of ancient, now dead galaxies known as Pandora's Cluster billions of years ago.
Your Hubble Pictures, a new ESA/Hubble Flickr page, has been launched. It exists to host the drawings, paintings, processed astronomical images, models, photographs, cartoons and any other content inspired by Hubble and made by you.
After 116 days of being subjected to extremely frigid temperatures like that in space, the heart of the James Webb Space Telescope, the Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) and its sensitive instruments, emerged unscathed from the thermal vacuum chamber at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
Every year, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory looks at hundreds of objects throughout space to help expand our understanding of the Universe. Ultimately, these data are stored in the Chandra Data Archive, an electronic repository that provides access to these unique X-ray findings for anyone who would like to explore them.

Adaptive Optics -- Adaptive optics is a technology to improve the performance of Earth-based telescopes, reversing the effect of atmospheric distortions. When light from a star or another astronomical object enters the Earth's atmosphere, the different temperature layers and different wind speeds distort and move the image in various ways (see seeing for a proper discussion). The net result is that an 8 meters or 10 meters telescope (like the VLT or Keck), while theoretically capable...
Hubble's Variable Nebula -- Hubble's variable nebula is named (like the Hubble telescope itself) after the American astronomer Edwin P. Hubble, who carried out some of the early studies of this object. It is a fan-shaped cloud of gas and dust which is illuminated by R Monocerotis (R Mon), the bright star at the bottom end of the nebula. Dense condensations of dust near the star cast shadows out into the nebula, and as they move the illumination changes, giving rise to the variations first...
Hourglass Nebula -- This is an image of MyCn18, a young planetary nebula located about 8,000 light-years away, taken with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) aboard NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

The Valke fought back from a 17-point deficit to secure a 52-52 draw (half-time 28-31) with the Regent Boland Kavaliers in a high-scoring Absa Currie Cup First Division match at the Barnard Stadium in Kempton Park on Saturday.
The two teams combined for 16 tries between them but the Valke had looked to be well behind the eight ball when they slipped to 14-31 after 33 minutes of the first half.
But they fought back thanks to tries from flank Frederic Eksteen and centre Juan Kotze to reach the break trailing by just three points.
The Valke and the defending champion Kavaliers have not enjoyed the best of seasons with the hosts having won just three matches from 12 heading into Saturday's contest while the visitors had won three and drawn one game.
But the two teams turned on the entertainment for the sparse 500-strong crowd at a sunny ground with Meyer running in two tries for the hosts and right wing Vainon Willis grabbing a brace of five-pointers for the Kavaliers.
The Kavaliers held a 52-47 lead in the 73rd minute but the Valke, in keeping with the general theme of the match, fought back to secure the draw when replacement hooker Baksteen van Heerden barrelled his way over for a try in the fourth minute of injury time.
Valke replacement flyhalf Juan Kotze had the chance to win the match but his attempted conversion drifted wide.
Kavaliers flyhalf Elgar Watts ended the match with 17 points courtesy of a try and six conversions.
Valke – Tries - Karlo Aspeling, Hendrik Meyer (2), Frederic Eksteen, Juan Kotze, Bruce Muller, Sandile Ngcobo, Baksteen van Heerden; Conversions: Aspeling (2), Juan Kotze (4).
Regent Boland Kavaliers – Tries: Elgar Watts, Eric Zana, Vainon Willis (2), Jacquin Jansen, Brendon April, Juwell Samuels, Siviwe Magaba; Conversions: Watts (6).

The disclosure of the federal government's hugely expansive monitoring of phone calls and online communications as part of its fight against terror came as a surprise even to people who pay attention to these things. It's amazing, in fact, that any program so large and potentially controversial could remain secret for seven years.
The revelation is also a sharp reminder of how much the American public doesn't know about what the government is doing in its efforts to protect the lives of its people. As in every war, a lot of what is done has been kept secret.
That's one reason it's hard to assess the wisdom of these surveillance efforts. We don't know what, if any, plots they have foiled. We don't know how tough the court that approved the programs was in scrutinizing them. We don't know if the congressional intelligence committees have forced changes. We don't know if the information has ever been misused.
This approach, significantly, won the approval of two presidents despite their very different attitudes about national security and civil liberties. It also has been disclosed to and presumably approved by the congressional intelligence committees. Authorization had to come from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court. The consensus among those who know the most about the workings of the program argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt.
The endeavor appears to be perfectly legal under a provision of the Patriot Act that lets the government, with the FISA court's permission, get all sorts of records. But when that law was passed, even opponents didn't contemplate that the records requests could be so all-encompassing as these.
The alleged invasion of privacy is not particularly alarming on its face. When it vacuums up the connecting phone numbers, time and duration (but not the content) of virtually every phone call, NSA is not about to look at each one. It's watching for suspicious patterns. Only when it spots one does it use a wiretap to listen in — and then only after it gets additional authorization from the FISA court.
Some new restrictions may be in order. If the government is looking for, say, calls between the United States and terrorists in Pakistan or Yemen, why can't it simply demand records of calls to certain foreign countries. Is there no way to narrow the search to leave most Americans out of it?
In debates like this, context can be critical. Had President George W. Bush publicly announced that U.S. intel agencies would conduct such monitoring in the days after 9/11, there would have been little objection. Any power granted to the government is subject to abuse — and that goes double for powers exercised in secret. So the administration has an obligation to reveal as much information as it can about the program without compromising security.

Did you hear the story about Quattro? It's a horrible one. The poor cat that was tortured to death by young boys in Paterson, and despite every effort to save him by some fantastic Vets his injuries just proved to great and he sadly passed away. Yes, you read right....tortured and killed by children. Why? I ask myself that question everytime I hear about an abuse case, which quite frankly more often than I can believe.
Fast forward a few weeks as I received an email from Lisa Klink who told me she is a teacher who has started a mission in memory of Quattro. A mission to teach children compassion and understanding. She started Quattros Paws For Hope, where kids make paw prints, and pledge against animal cruelty. The paw pledges are linked together and she creates a chain and brings her chain to shelters, groups and organizations. She brought one to Rock N' Ruff, and I was honored. The pledges these children wrote are really inspiring. Please check out Lisa's Facebook (Quattro's Paws For Hope) page as this wonderful woman deserves an honor herself for incorporating such an inmportant message to todays youth. She is a hero!

Dear Den Member:
Please help save Montana's wolves! Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer will shortly decide whether to sign or veto a devastating bill regarding wolf management in the state. House Bill 461 has already passed the House and Senate and is on its way to the governor's desk. One component of House Bill 461 requires that there be one collar in every wolf pack that is active near livestock or near a population center in areas where depredations are chronic or likely. This provision alone is not problematic. But what is alarming is the bill's other two provisions.
The second provision requires the state wildlife agency (Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks) to provide receivers capable of receiving signals from the radio-tracking collars to a landowner or their designee, on request. This means livestock producers would have unprecedented access and knowledge of wolves' locations, allowing Montana's wolf packs to easily be wiped out. Just when the state has adopted a reasonable wolf management Plan that would conserve wolves into the future, this bill could devastate wolf populations.
Equally alarming, the bill's third provision requires that the only funds that can be spent on the radio collars and receivers are the federal funds designated for wolf management purposes in the state. But estimated costs just to implement the provisions of House Bill 461 in its first year equal the annual cost estimated for wolf management in the state � which means it would bankrupt the wolf management fund, leaving no funds available for the active conservation of the species.
Governor Schweitzer will be faced with signing this legislation any day now. First, please contact his office immediately at (406) 444-3111 and ask him to veto the bill if, when it arrives at his desk, the requirement to provide radio-transmitter equipment and to use the federal funds for this purpose have not been deleted.
Second, you can also go to the http://www.denaction.org and send a free fax stating the same. We ask that you use your own words but use the sample letter as a basis for talking points when you call the Governor's office, or as the basis for a letter.
Honorable Governor Schweitzer:
As a supporter of wildlife, particularly wolves, I am very concerned about what will happen to Montana's wolves if House Bill 461 becomes law. The state plan for wolves that Montana adopted is a well-balanced approach that protects wolves and ranchers, but this bill puts Montana's wolf population in extreme danger and would gut the funding needed for the state Plan.
Please veto House Bill 461 if, when it arrives at your desk, it retains a requirement to provide radio-transmitter equipment to livestock owners/their designees on request and if it requires the funding to come from the federal wolf management funds provided to the state.
While it is reasonable to maintain a radio-collar on at least one animal in wolf packs that are depredating or near areas of chronic depredation, it is unacceptable to give out radio-transmitters to private citizens to track the whereabouts of the wolves. Only trained wildlife professionals with the state or federal agencies should have access to this information. Further, the costs of implementing this bill would bankrupt the funds available to implement Montana's state wolf Plan.
We believe responsible wolf management is important for both wolves and livestock producers. However, this bill is not reasonable it is an extreme approach that is fiscally and biologically unsound. Please use your power to prevent it from becoming state law.
