' Calif., and Louis E. Meyers, New Orleans, La.; said Meyers assignor to said Gardener Application January 30, 1934, Serial Nohoaom" 6 Claims. (01. 272-57) Our invention relates to exercising devices',iand same has for one of its objects the provision of a novel formof device adapted to be strapped to the feet of the user and effectively employed so that by easily controlled movements of the body of the user, the entire muscular system of the body may be systematicallydeveloped and the body made to take on a decidedlyimproved physical condition. I 7
Another object is to provide a device, the use of which will materially strengthen the arches,
0f the feet and, at the sametime, the muscles of the legs andarms. t i
A still further object is to provide mobile means adapted to be attached to the feet and moved over a flat surface such as a floor, and whose movements can be accurately controlled in a way and at the will of the user whereby a very gradual development/of thebody muscles is made possible and the muscles tensioned and strengthcried and conditioned so that they will afford a T proper support for the vital organs of thebody.
With the above; and other objects in view, which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the sameconsists-inthe improved construction and novel arrangements of parts which will hereinafter be fully described and particularly pointed out in the hereto appended claims. r
In the accompanying drawing has been illustrated a single preferred'form of the invention, it being,' however, understood that no limitations are necessarily made to theprecise structural features therein exhibited, butthat changes, al-
terations and modifications'within' the scope of the claims maybe resorted to whendesired.
In the drawing, V Figure 1 isa perspectiveyiew of the device; Figure 2 represents -a seriesof diagrammatic illustrations indicating how the device 'may be operated for the purpose intended; r
Figure 3 is a section on line 3- 3 of Figure 1. In Figure 1 we show the complete device ready to be strapped or securely clamped to the feet of the user. It comprises substantially parallel,
spaced-apart, companion foot plates 5-5 which very much simulate portions of the soles of the right and left shoes. These plates are preferably formed of sheet metal of suitable gauge to give the necessary body stiffness and strength thereto. Their front ends are curved upwardly and rearwardly to form toe holds 6, and their rear ends are curved downwardly, then forward-' ly and upwardly to provide transverse smooth surfaced loops 1, the loop I of one plate being in approximate alinement with the likeloop of the mating plate; These loops occupypositions that enable them to fall substantiallyin line vertically with the. arches of the feet, and they are intended to engage against or come close to the ENT'Y OFF forward faces of the heels of: the shoes. when the feet have been properly arranged on the body portions of the plates as proposed. This also; allows the cap ends of ones shoes to be correctly associated with the aforementioned toe holds 6; The feet may'then be firmly fixed to the plates by means of thelclamping straps 8,L'the:latter being threaded through the slots 9 of the plates at pointsjustin advance ofthe loops 1 sothat their free ends may be buckled together and the straps firmly tightened against the foot. 1
The mating Wright and left plates of the de: vice are providedwith metallic'bearing straps ID and same are alined with each other for the close frictional accommodation of a transverse axle l l upon the. ends of which are mounted the freely revoluble supporting wheels 12. These wheels, in practice, may be of any'suitable size; say,
about'four inches in diameter, and their periph 4 eral .faces may-be provided with elastictires in orderthattheir movement over a floor may be more or less'noiseless and at the same time avoid the marring of the floor. The'manner of mount-r ing theplates upon the axle :l I 'is such that they are free to tilt and thus adapt themselves ,to
device is moved over'the surface, of the'floor.
'Upon observing the several schematic illustrafollows that by 'merely manipulating the arms and legs the posture of the body may be periodi-. cally changed at onefs desire, depending upon which muscles it is desired to develop. The position of the body may be changed almost from one extreme to another within a-possible range of movements, and numerous'intermediate' positionsmay be had quickly and conveniently at the option of the user, so that practically all of the'body muscles at one time or another willbe brought effectively into play and strengthened V and perfectly developed. In addition to the development of the muscles of the body, the fact sovarious angular movements.v of the feet whenthe' that the arches of .the feet may be very readily" manipulated and flexures of each foot brought about in a manner that will result in a very material strengthening of the arches. It is for this reason primarily that the plates terminate short of the heels of 1 the shoes, thus enabling the balls of the feet to be firmly brought against. said plates. 7 o.
When the device is used with a reasonable measure of good judgment, all musclesbf the body may be gradually tensioned and strength-" ened, and instead of such use resultinginfatigue,
ones system will be highly benefited and invigoratedand the blood placed in free circulation.
Upon reference toFigure 2 of the drawing, it
will be appreciated thatwhen the body of the userhas beenmade to assume one possible position therein illustrated; a reverse manipulation of the vertebrae may be accomplished, atwhich time the abdominal muscles will be effectively tensioned;
While we have described that the device may' be used with best results when the hands, palms down, are firmly placed against the floor, it isto be understood that so longv as the feet of the person are on the floor, as intended, the hands may be allowed to grasp. any relatively fixed object, such as a chair, with the position of the head such as to dispose the chin above the seat there-' of. The various body movements can be then brought about in a very desirable manner. 7
- With the axle of the device disposed trans-v versely of the feet, as proposed; the ground wheels may be readily moved in a. linear direction and, respectively, toward and away from the handsas rapidly as may suit the desires of the user.
It is'to be borne in mind that whenusing the V device'the feet of the user are brought close together, so that the legs almost touch each other. The foot plates-are then adjusted longitudinally of-the axle of the device until theyare in the de-' sired relationship to each othenflwhere they will accommodate the v feet when the latter are brought cl'ose togethenas above stated. 7

Dropping water table causes the Milwaukee Rep to sink, repairs needed
Sitting on a table in an office at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, the weathered and rotted stump looks like a prop for a scene at a wharf or aboard a seafaring vessel.
The damaged stump, believed to be tamarack, was yanked out of a hole deep in the bowels of the Patty & Jay Baker Theater Complex, adjacent to the Milwaukee River and home to the Quadracci Powerhouse Theater, Stiemke Theater and the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article(41)
Windfall Theatre cast gets a bit lost in 'Petrified Forest'
In the late 1930s, Robert E. Sherwood owned the American stage, winning Pulitzer Prizes for three plays. Opening on Broadway in 1935, and featuring an actor named Humphrey Bogart, "The Petrified Forest" isn't among them. But it's the Sherwood play that's best remembered today, thanks to Bogart's ensuing appearance in the 1936 film with Leslie Howard and Bette Davis.
Windfall Theatre artistic director Carol Zippel is convinced Sherwood's "Forest" can still take root, and she's stating her case in a Windfall production that opened Friday night under her direction. »Read Full Article

Down to the wire Three contenders promise to dominate this year's Run for the Roses � but history has shown that anything can happen on Derby Day I n the Kentucky Derby, every horse has a story. The trick is to sift through the sentimental favorites, the hype and the bad information to find the true contenders. When you look at the 136th edition of the Run for the Roses there are definitely stories, but only three horses stand out. If any one of them decides to put it all together, they have the talent not only to win the Derby, but maybe to sweep the Triple Crown. Eskendereya is the probable morning line and post time favorite. The son of Giant's Causeway is built for this distance, is undefeated on the natural surface, and sports the best Beyer Speed Figure in the field. Trainer Todd Pletcher might send five horses to the post, but Eskendereya is his best hope to win him his first Derby. If Eskendereya occupies the top spot, Lookin At Lucky and Sidney's Candy occupy spots 2 and 2a. Most consider them just slightly below Eskendereya, but you really can't separate them. Lookin At Lucky has been the most consistent performer of all Derby starters. He has been consistent in finishing well � which is good � but also has steadily managed to find trouble even in his most impressive efforts. Most recently, whether through the fault of jockey Garrett Gomez's ride or plain bad luck, the colt was stopped cold during his rally on the turn and lost all hope of catching 2a in the Santa Anita. All this said, he still managed a gut-checking second by a nose in the Breeders Cup Juvenile and managed to lunge for the wire to win the Rebel at Oaklawn Park. The Rebel win quieted doubters who wondered if Lucky would be able to make the transition from synthetic to dirt. Lucky is a serious horse; He may not be a sure thing, but Eskendereya is the Derby favorite this year.

Make Music for Me Alexis Barba either his ability to recover from the trouble he manages to find will serve him well in the 20-horse Derby field and help him win, or his propensity for traffic issues will cost him the roses. And then there is speedy Sidney's Candy, the winner of the San Vicente, San Felipe and Santa Anita Derby. If you believe his rider, Joe Talamo, his front-running victories are more about his natural ability than a need to be on the lead. In interviews, Talamo has stated he thinks Sidney's Candy can rate, stay close to the lead, use his tactical speed and get a clear run at the lead in the Derby. In his case, rating is a must. Sidney's Candy is trained by John Sadler, who also trains Arkansas Derby upset winner Line of David. There is no doubt where Line of David will be: on the lead, trying to steal the race. For Sidney's Candy to give his sire, Candy Ride, a classic victory, he will need to settle in and take a page from another Derby hopeful, Super Saver. Super Saver was close to the top of many Derby lists at the beginning of the year. His 2010 campaign has started slowly. Even his trainer, Todd Pletcher, commented that of all his Derby prospects Super Saver was the least likely to come from off the pace. In the Arkansas Derby though, he did just that. Jockey Calvin Borel managed to get Super Saver to relax and not chase after Line of David's crazy front-end fractions. Super Saver closed well, only to lose a very close photo for the win. The Derby will be Super Saver's third race back. Many believe he is sitting on a huge effort, especially with the lesson 8 We Race To Win YOU'VE DREAMED OF GLORY AND COMPETING AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS.

The other horse in that crazy photo finish from the Arkansas Derby was Dublin. He stormed onto the scene with a convincing win in the Hopeful last August at Saratoga. Since then, the D. Wayne Lukas charge has run well, placed in three straight graded stakes, but just doesn't seem to be putting it all together. After these, you have the likes of Endorsement, who was still a maiden in February, but unleashed a shocker in the Sunland Derby. You have Gotham winner Awesome Act, who lost a shoe at the beginning of the Wood Memorial and still managed a third-place finish. Ice Box, American Lion and Mission Impazible won the Florida, Illinois and Louisiana Derbies respectively. Of those performances, the Florida effort was the least impressive. The rest of the field is a jumble of horses who, if they happen to find a little racing luck and their best stride, could each reach the finish line first in Louisville. Included in the group are Interactif, Noble's Promise, Rule, Stately Victor, Conveyance, Discreetly Mine, Dean's Kitten, Paddy O'Prado, Homeboykris, Jackson Bend, Backtalk, Make Music For Me, Setsuko and Pleasant Prince. For some of these horses, a start in the Derby is not even guaranteed because of the earnings gymnastics that have occurred in the last month. The element missing this year that has been present for the last couple is a super-filly. Right now, no one appears to be an Eight Belles or Rachel Alexandra. The one exception might be Devil May Care. The filly rocked in the Bonnie Miss on Florida Derby Day and ran her 1 1/8 miles faster than the boys in the Florida Derby. As you sort through all of them, though, just three rise to the surface of all the Derby prep mayhem: Eskendereya, Lookin At Lucky and Sidney's Candy. They seem the most talented of this crop of three-year-olds. But, as 50-1 shot Mine That Bird proved in Kentucky Derby 135, they still have to run the race. And any of the 20 horses that go to post can win, given the right set of circumstances. h 10 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 11 12 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 Gala T phOTO: SCOT T SeriO Glamour of the he potential field for Kentucky Derby 136 is well-known. the guest list for the 22nd Annual Barnstable Brown Gala is only a guessing game.

April 17, 2010 Michael Blowen's second career makes it possible for retired thoroughbreds to enjoy a second life By Bill Heller T Photos by Matt Wooley/EquiSport Photos here is a story of a woman who, while walking along the beach one day, saw hundreds of starfish stranded in the sand by the tide. She began picking up the starfish, one by one, and returning them to the sea. A man nearby saw her doing this and called out, "What are you doing?" She responded, "I'm helping these starfish." He said, "There may be a thousand of them here. How can you make a difference?" She bent down, picked up a starfish, returned it to the sea and said, "It made a difference for this one." Michael Blowen, a 63-year-old retired reporter for the Boston Globe, didn't envision saving hundreds of racing's greatest thoroughbreds when he started Old Friends, a not-for-profit retirement organization in Kentucky, in June of 2003. But just two weeks after the opening, word leaked out that Ferdinand, the 1986 Kentucky Derby winner and 1987 Horse of the Year, had died in a slaughterhouse in Japan. "Then everything exploded," Blowen said. STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 21 One of Old Friends' more recent acquisitions, Commentator, romps in his paddock. Old Friends began with just one horse, a 21-year-old daughter of Exceller aptly named Narrow Escape. Old Friends acquired her in February 2004 as a donation from auction company Fasig-Tipton. The death of Exceller, who had defeated Triple Crown winners Seattle Slew and Affirmed in the 1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup, in a slaughterhouse in Sweden in 1997 had shed light on horse racing's deepest and darkest secret. Ferdinand's grisly death six years later made the issue impossible to ignore. `Wilder than my dreams' Fast-forward to 2010. Old Friends, which moved to its present location in Georgetown in July of 2006, is home to 70 horses. It supports another 21 horses at nearby farms. Additionally, eight horses are stabled at Old Friends' first satellite facility, Cabin Creek, a 40-acre farm just outside Saratoga Springs, NY, which opened in November. The farm, owned by Joann and Mark Pepper, will have its official grand opening on July 22. (The event will also celebrate the career of late Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel, one of Old Friends' biggest supporters.) That's 99 horses in Old Friends' care. "I never dreamed this big," Blowen said. "My life is wilder than my dreams." Blowen's wild life began when he accepted a buyout from the Boston Globe nine years ago. Blowen, who had ridden horses when he was a youngster in Thompsonville, CT, decided to reward himself with a trip to Belmont Park to see the 2001 Belmont Stakes. While at the track, he met trainer Angel Penna Sr.'s wife, Elinor, a reporter for Sports Illustrated, who was on the board of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation. She invited Blowen to the TRF auction/ dinner the night before the Belmont Stakes. She then asked him, "Why don't you come to work for the TRF as an operations director?" He did. Originally, he worked out of his home in Arlington, MA, before he and his wife, Diane White, a writer for the Boston Globe, moved to Midway, KY, to be closer to thoroughbred racing and breeding. But, after visiting the Kentucky Horse Park, he decided to start his own retirement organization, one centered on outstanding thoroughbreds that had finished their racing and breeding careers. "When you go over to the Horse Park and see John Henry, it gives you a chill," Blowen said. "I thought you could have a place for retired stallions. The idea was to do it just like the Horse Park so that no one would forget how great these athletes were. I thought of [film director] John Huston. I knew 22 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 23 him a little. We went to the track together and he told me, `If you don't have a star, you don't have a movie.' That's what I thought when I started this. I knew people would come to see these stars." While most of the thoroughbreds at Old Friends are stallions, and are kept in separate paddocks, Old Friends also cares for mares and geldings. "We focus on stallions because most other retirement farms don't," Blowen said. "There was a void." Among Old Friends' notable thoroughbreds are Affirmed Success, Awad, 1991 Horse of the Year Black Tie Affair, 1997 Female Handicap Champion Hidden Lake, Kiri's Clown, Ogygian, 1988 Grass Champion Sunshine Forever, 1994 Champion Older Male The Wicked North and Will's Way. The end of last year brought two additions: 1988 Champion Sprinter Gulch and Commentator. There is also a bona fide movie star: Popcorn Deelites, who played Seabiscuit in the 2003 film. Prominent thoroughbreds at Old Friends that have died include 1986 Champion Grass Mare Estrapade, Flying Pidgeon, Fraise, 1985 Champion Sprinter Precisionist, Ruhlmann and Taylor's Special. "We're lucky there's a place like this," said Affirmed Success' owner, Albert Fried Jr. "It's a great option � great for us and great for the horse." Affirmed Success had been at the nearby Kentucky Horse Park. "We got him about two years ago," Blowen said. "He was at the Horse Park. The lady called me and said, `Do you have room for Affirmed Success?' And I freaked out. I loved this horse. He was sensational. It seemed like every time there was a stakes race in New York, he was winning it. Also, it created a bridge between the Horse Park and us. I've always thought of being partners with them in a way. Then, when the horse got here, he's so beautiful. And he's got a terrific personality. He's affectionate. He loves the attention." And he, as well as his high-profile equine buddies, continues to attract Caring for legends crowds. On a recent April weekend, 150 visitors stopped by Old Friends, delighting Blowen and his wife. Roughly 70 percent of the visitors had called to make reservations. Two of the visitors had come from Sacramento, CA. "They hired a van to come to the farm," Blowen said. Admission is free, though donations are accepted and encouraged. Tours led by volunteers are offered daily at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Old Friends employs three full-time workers, several part-timers and a bunch of volunteers. On the following Monday morning, Blowen and his wife are up by 7 to do the feeding. Blowen's describes it as a pleasant task and says it's his favorite time of the day. "It's really quiet," he says. "We're the only ones here, and I get time to spend with Diane." And with his horses. "I know they're glad to see the feed, not me," Blowen said. "But still ... one thing I'm learning is that all these horses are different. They have different personalities, nuances and facial expressions." After feeding the horses, Blowen stops by his office to see how many visitors are coming that day. He expects 45 on this Monday, including a farrier from Australia. "We just got a request from a 24 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 Above: Awad is among the many former thoroughbred stars relaxing in retirement at Old Friends. Left, Mike Blowen feeds 1991 Horse of the Year Black Tie Affair. Blowen says feeding the horses is his favorite time of the day. group of Australians to have a big party at Old Friends during the Equestrian Games in September," Blowen said. One of the first visitors on this Monday morning is Carol Farmer. Carol and her husband, Tracy, own Commentator. "Commentator and Gulch are in adjoining paddocks," Blowen said. "They race in the paddocks. Black Tie Affair watches them. I wanted to show Carol another farm down the road I'm interested in acquiring. We looked at that for a while. We came back, and there were visitors who wanted their picture taken with [Carol]." The Farmers have become a valuable asset for Old Friends. A year before Commentator went to Old Friends, Hidden Lake, the outstanding mare owned by the Farmers and Robert Clay, arrived. The Eclipse Award-winning mare had been entered in a mixed sale at Keeneland in January 2009. "I believe Hidden Lake's hip number was 1620," Blowen said. "She was way at the end of the sale. She'd never thrown a good foal and she'd been barren five years. Taylor Made Farms was the consignor, and I called my friend there, John Hall. They just gave us the horse. She is ador- The first star able. She's meant a lot to us. I like all our horses, but I only love a handful. She's one of them." Blowen credits Jerry and Ann Moss with delivering Old Friends' first star. "Jerry and Ann Moss are also big supporters," he said. "They gave us our first big horse, Ruhlmann. They put us on the map. He was in Texas, and he was done being a sire, maybe 4� years ago. They visited us the year they won the Kentucky Derby with Giacomo." Ruhlmann's presence at Old Friends gave Blowen a reason to introduce him- STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 25 If Ogygian could talk, he'd probably be thanking Mike Blowen for all he's done. self to Ruhlmann's former trainer, Bobby Frankel, at Saratoga. "I really didn't know him," Blowen said. "I told him we had Ruhlmann. That day, he was very brusque and didn't seem to care that much. A week later, he came up to me and said, `You're the guy with Ruhlmann, right? I really think you're doing a great job with these animals.' " Frankel, who died of leukemia in November, backed up his praise with action. He stipulated in his last wishes that donations following his death should be sent to three places: the Exceller Fund, the Jockey Club Grayson Foundation and Old Friends. "He also left us money in the will," Blowen said. "I was surprised, flabbergasted and honored. We're going to have a big tribute to Bobby July 22 in New York at our new farm." The official name of that farm is "Old Friends at Cabin Creek, the Bobby Frankel Division." The Mosses' impact on Old Friends has also been enormous. "If I ever need anything, I can call Jerry Moss," Blow- it's so gratifying that there's someone with a passion like michael to do this with stallions. he's done a wonderful job. en said. "It gives you a great amount of confidence if you have that safety net. People are very generous. Mary Sullivan � she owned Kiri's Clown � sends $10,000 every couple of months." Trainers, especially those with a horse at Old Friends, have been supportive, too. Jim Bond (Will's Way), David Donk (Awad), Billy Mott, Jonathan Sheppard, John Shirreffs and John ` ' � David Donk Veitch (Sunshine Forever) have either visited the farm or made donations. Trainer Bob Baffert has helped out as well, giving Old Friends a percentage of revenue from his collectible shirt line. Donk, his wife, Fay, and their children, 13-year-old Paul and 7-year-old Holly, spent three days at Old Friends' bed and breakfast on the kids' spring break to reconnect with Awad. "It was a great time," Donk said. "We hadn't been to Kentucky since he's been there. It's so gratifying that there's someone with a passion like Michael to do this with stallions. He's done a wonderful job. The farm continues to grow. I think he's done a great job of getting the message out to the whole country. There are a lot of horses there that have touched a lot of people � owners, trainers, jockeys and the fans." Of course, the horse that touches Donk the most is Awad. "He looked fantastic," Donk said. "He's 20. He's got a paddock right near the house, right next to Kiri's Clown, which is ironic. He beat me [on Awad] by a nose in the Sword Dancer. It was a great race." That Sword Dancer was in 1995, a 1�-mile Grade 1 stakes at Saratoga with a purse of $500,000. Kiri's Clown was trained by Hall of Famer Phil "P.G." Johnson, who at the time was mired in the worst slump of his career. When Kiri's Clown won the race, a reporter came up to Donk and asked him, "Isn't it great that P.G. broke his slump?" Donk replied, "How about David Donk? He lost a $500,000 Grade 1 by a nose." Donk laughs about it now. Meanwhile, Blowen has witnessed rematches of the Sword Dancer at Old Friends, when Kiri's Clown and Awad race each other in separate paddocks. "How great is that, when you get 26 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 to see Awad run against Kiri's Clown like they did in 1995?" Blowen asked. Former jockeys Chris McCarron and Jean Cruguet offered their support as soon as Old Friends opened. More recently, jockeys Calvin Borel, Kent Desormeaux, Richard Migliore and Mike Smith stopped by to visit horses and support the farm. Hall of Fame jockey Bobby Ussery is a frequent visitor. Calvin Borel re-acquaints himself with Judge's Case. Busy days But back to Blowen's hectic Monday. He returns to his office to check and answer e-mails. "We get four to six requests a day to take horses," he said. "Then this girl came by, Kim Boyle, and her sister Aimee. "They're doing a fundraiser for us called Ferdinand's Ball the Thursday before the Kentucky Derby." After their visit, Blowen is off to get gasoline for the tractors and mowers. The morning is long gone. "In the afternoon, we had a whole Brownie troop from Woodford County," Blowen said. "I took them around, and it was great. They were so cute and asked such great questions. They were very excited to see Popcorn Deelites because he was ridden by Toby Maguire." When they left, Blowen went out to get some fried chicken for dinner. He washed it down with a beer and took one more lap on the grounds to make sure everyone was OK. By the end of the day, Blowen is ready for a good night's sleep. But he goes to bed with the anticipation of a child on Christmas Eve who can't wait for the next day to begin: "I'm grateful to wake up every morning and say, `There's Gulch and Commentator and Academy Award. Black Tie Affair. There's Jade Hunter, Glitterman, Affirmed Success, Hidden Lake.' Holy cow! That's just amazing. It's like having Magic Johnson and Larry Bird in your backyard." h Specializing in horse racing trips Abroad Royal Ascot (June) L'Arc de Triomphe (Sep-Oct) Cheltenham (March) Dubai (March) Aintree (April) RLY!

For a quarter-century, the Louisville museum had housed the memory of racing legends. The triumph of thoroughbreds like Citation, Secretariat and Spectacular Bid lived on at the museum, long after they had made history in the Run for the Roses, but their legacy was in danger of drowning. The worst didn't come to pass, however, and after several months of restoration and repair, the museum will soon be ready to once again welcome the more than 200,000 horse racing fans who visit the museum annually. And the renovated museum promises visitors an even richer experience. April 17, 2010 all phOTOS: eriC paT TerSOn/eClipSe SpOrTSWire STriDe magazine 29 30 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 The Barbaro memorial just outside the Kentucky Derby Museum grounds is a fitting tribute to a thoroughbred that touched many fans' hearts. STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 31 A protective sheet covers one of the exhibits during the museum repairs and renovations. The flood in August 2009 was a serious blow. Amid floodwaters that were floating cars down the street, the museum could have faced absolute devastation. As it was, a significant part of the collection was damaged, but museum staff were able to save most items, and damaged materials were sent to Chicago for restoration. After its multimillion-dollar renovation, the museum scheduled its reopening for April 18. The reborn museum will display a great deal of new material. Among the items to be found at 704 Central Ave. in Louisville will be the chair of famous Churchill Downs President Matt Winn, the Louisville native who saved Churchill Downs and coaxed the owners of the filly Regret to compete in the Kentucky Derby. (They responded to A near-disaster his urging, and in 1915 Regret became the first filly to wear the Roses.) Visitors will also find several Gold Cups that were presented to Derby winners. While preserving history is a key mission for any museum, officials at the Kentucky Derby Museum want to focus on the present, as well. "We are trying to shift our focus more to the experience of the Kentucky Derby," said Wendy Treinen, the museum's director of communications. Instead of focusing exclusively on the past, the museum will re-create for visitors the atmosphere, grace and fun of the race. The goal is to be the next best thing to actually being at the Kentucky Derby. Nevertheless, history is still a key element of the museum, and the second floor is dedicated to champions of the past, along with their owners, trainers and jockeys. Final resting place An exhibit shows winning Derby silks through the years. A unique aspect of the museum is that it is also a cemetery of sorts: Several Kentucky Derby winners are interred on the museum grounds. The most notable is perhaps the Californiabred champion Swaps. He was piloted 32 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 by Willie Shoemaker and took the Run for the Roses in 1955 by holding off fellow Hall of Famer Nashua and jockey Eddie Arcaro in the stretch. Broker's Tip, Carry Back, and Sunny's Halo are also buried on the museum grounds. Broker's Tip is notable because his only lifetime win came in the 1933 Run for the Roses. Carry Back is remembered for winning the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. The following year � 1962 � he took the Metropolitan Mile. Sunny's Halo followed up his 1983 Kentucky Derby win with a 12-length romp in the Super Derby at Louisiana Downs, where he equaled the track record for 1� miles. And, while not on the official grounds of the museum, Barbaro is interred near the entrance. The 2006 winner of the Kentucky Derby was euthanized in January 2007 after complications from an injury sustained in the Preakness. A gorgeous bronze statue of the son of Dynaformer in full stride towards the Signs advise potential visitors that the museum is not quite ready yet. STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 33 finish line in the Run for the Roses was placed next to his grave. The Kentucky Derby Museum opened its doors in April 1985 on land donated by Churchill Downs Inc. The project was financed in large part through a donation from the philanthropic James Graham Brown Foundation. The namesake of the foundation was a Louisville businessman who served on the board of directors at Churchill Downs for 32 years and was the owner of the famed Brown Hotel. The foundation stepped up again in 1999 when the museum prepared to undergo a $10 million renovation and 10,000-square-foot expansion. The museum reaches a large audience, and that audience is made even larger thanks to a outreach program that serves local schools. Students in Kentucky and parts of Indiana are able to tour the museum free of charge. And educational programs are available for children from pre-kindergarten Education and outreach Real Quiet's saddle cloth is among the many unique exhibits housed in the museum. through high school. The programs use math, science, social studies and economics to teach kids about the thoroughbred racing industry. One of the most interesting programs is "Jockeying for Positions: Careers," which teaches students about jobs in the racing industry and how important that industry is to the state of Kentucky. They also learn how to write effective resumes and give good job interviews. In addition, the museum brings its programs to schools that can't take their students to Louisville. The Kentucky Derby stands alone as a unique event in horse racing. The wealth of history and culture that the race offers is overwhelming. But thanks to the Kentucky Derby Museum, the race's history � as well as its present and its future � are comprehensively and beautifully displayed for all of its fans, old and new. And, having risen from the floodwaters bigger and better than ever, the museum is more than ready to start its new chapter. h HRTW's & Frank's Kind of Town CHICAGO Monday, (Optional dining packages available) Friday, August 20 -- August 23, 2010 PRICE INCLUDES: � Reserved box seat for the 28th running of the Arlington Million at beautiful Arlington Park Racetrack � Reserved box seat for Chicago Cubs/Atlanta Braves game at legendary Wrigley Field � 3 Nights Hotel Indigo Chicago, Downtown Gold Coast, minutes from fabulous Rush Street -- Chicago's prime nightlife entertainment area. 1-800-368-0872 On your spare time, experience everything fabulous Chicago has to offer -- Michigan Avenue and the Magni cent Mile Navy Pier Jazz and Blues Clubs: Jilly's / Buddy Guy's Redhead Piano Bar Restaurants: Harry Caray's / Ditka's Gibson's / Hugo Frog's Chicago River Cruise Horseshoe Casino $ 34 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 625 * per person * $200 deposit due when booking -- Balance due July 1, 2010.

Awesome Act, however, is by no means your garden-variety Derby contender. The Gotham Stakes winner departed from Belmont Park late this past week for the final leg of a journey that will take the Kentucky-bred full circle. The Awesome Again colt, third behind likely Derby favorite Eskendereya in the Grade 1 Wood Memorial, will bid on May 1 to become the first European-trained winner of the May classic. Fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, the Jeremy Noseda trainee officially joined the 2010 Derby Trail when flying from England to win the Gotham with speed to spare. The race marked Awesome Act's dirt debut following five starts on the turf and one at London's Kempton Park over an all-weather surface. In Awesome Act's final pre-Derby start, although he finished nearly 10 lengths behind Eskendereya, missing second by a head to Jackson Bend, he exited the Wood with several legitimate excuses. Leaving slightly awkward from the gate, Awesome Act lost his left front shoe within the first few strides and soon found himself tracking a slower-thanpreferred pace. "Admittedly, the pace in the Wood wasn't ideal," said Noseda, who has entrusted Awesome Act's care in New York to assistants Wayne Tanner and George Windsor, "but he'll certainly have [a legitimate pace] in the Derby, along with an extra furlong to run." The seeds of this intrepid mission were planted immediately following the Breeders' Cup, where among the more overlooked performances was Awesome Act's flying finish down the middle of the Santa Anita grass course. Noseda mulled over the colt's future with British Horseracing Authority Chairman Paul Roy and his wife, Susan, co-owners of Awesome Act with Vinery Stud. phOTO: Sue KaWCzynSKi/eClipSe SpOrTSWire STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 39 phOTO: eriC KaleT/eClipSe SpOrTSWire The connections of Awesome Act in the winner's circle after the Gotham Stakes. Five years earlier, Noseda won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile for the Roys and Paul Reddam with the Awesome Again colt Wilko, who remained stateside with trainer Craig Dollase to prepare for the 2005 Kentucky Derby. This time, Noseda was bringing Awesome Act home to England � with an eye on returning before long. "He was always a sensible colt around the yard; it just took him time to figure it all out at the races," said Noseda. "Aside from his pedigree, the dirt just seemed like the natural way to go because he loves a good pace to run behind." Pioneering European A lead assistant with Godolphin before striking out on his own, Noseda is well aware of the operation's intense focus on winning the Kentucky Derby. Yet despite all of Godolphin's prolific spending on Derby prospects, he was always a sensible colt around the yard, it just took him time to figure it all out at the races. � Trainer Jeremy Noseda ` the benchmark European performance at Churchill Downs remains Bold Arrangement's 1986 runner-up performance. As a new era of international racing took hold in the 1980s, trainer Clive Brittain was a pioneer among British trainers. His touchstone moment came when saddling the charismatic filly Pebbles to victory in the 1985 Breeders' Cup Turf at Aqueduct. By that time, his 2-yearold Bold Arrangement had completed 40 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 ' a busy nine-race season, which would serve as a foundation for an ambitious campaign ahead. Bold Arrangement was owned by Tony Richards and his brother Ray, who were both big fans of American racing. Their colt, a great-grandson of leading U.S. sire Bold Ruler, was in Brittain's eyes an ideal prospect for the American classics. "He ran twice in France within a few weeks, both Group 1's, and handled the shipping perfectly," said Brittain from his Newmarket office, just down the road from Jeremy Noseda's Shalfleet Stables. "We trained him here on a sand track, nothing quite like the surfaces we see now, but he was a tough guy who responded to the kickback by coming right back for more." Third in his 1986 debut at home, Bold Arrangement would start once more before the Derby, only this time on American soil. Clive Brittain's biggest hurdle STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 41 proved to be negotiating American quarantine procedures. which forced Bold Arrangement to first fly into New York before arriving at Keeneland. His Derby hopeful would there contest the Blue Grass Stakes, then held just nine days out from the Derby. "My one oversight was not schooling him at the gate beforehand," Brittain recalled. "When he heard the bell � something we didn't use at home � he froze and cost himself ground. The race really served him well, as he was not a horse with whom you'd get a lot from in the mornings." Pat Eddery, who would miss the Kentucky Derby due to a suspension served over in England, rallied Bold Arrangement from well back of the field and finished a fast-closing third. Next it was on to Churchill Downs, where Brittain was among the more sought-after Derby personalities. Of particular interest was how, just like with Pebbles, the Englishman served Bold Arrangement a bottle of Guinness Stout in the colt's daily feed. The import also piqued the interest of Chris McCarron, who upon learning that the mount on Clive Brittain's colt was open quickly maneuvered to secure the ride. Bold Arrangement now poked his head in front approaching the eighth pole soon before a large red flash appeared up the rail, where Bill Shoemaker had artfully guided Ferdinand from last and onto a clear path to victory. Resolute to the wire, Bold Arrangement held second by three-quarters of a length, with Broad Brush third. The two colts Bold Arrangement finished between went on to total over $6.4 million in combined career earnings. Though times have certainly changed in racing, the roads leading to the Derby still come with a steep learning curve, even for the experienced horseman. "The Gotham showed all the work we did getting him to turn left-handed in a more professional manner was really paying off," said Noseda, who boasts experience training on both sides of the Atlantic. "I'd have loved to have taken him back to Newmarket after the Gotham, but realistically we had to stand pat and adjust his training a little more toward the American style." Close Derby watchers will note that Awesome Act sports a comparatively lighter frame than his American contemporaries, a byproduct of his European conditioning, as are his rather modest workout times, though like Bold Arrangement, he's proven himself a very adaptable racehorse. Arriving only three days before the Gotham due to a late New York winter snowfall, Awesome Act looked right at home cornering perfectly around Aqueduct's snug inner track. For the next two weeks he will acclimate to the environs of Churchill Downs, the final destination on this enterprising transAtlantic quest. That same journey came to a memorable conclusion for Clive Brittain, who skillfully navigated the road rarely traveled until now. "Having your horse take the lead down the stretch of the Kentucky Derby is one of life's thrilling moments," Brittain said. "I had one shot to get it right, and am very glad we didn't pass the opportunity by." h Riding American-style Awesome Acts jogs at Santa Anita prior to the 2009 Breeders' Cup. had an experienced American jockey to guide him 1� miles though a large and potentially unpredictable field of 16 3-year-olds. Sent off at 9-1 odds, Bold Arrangement settled more than 20 lengths behind as pacesetter Groovy tied the Derby's fastest-ever opening half-mile. Building momentum into the far turn, McCarron sent Bold Arrangement up to draw on near-even terms with Broad Brush and Badger Land approaching the home stretch.

Follow the horsemen By Lane Gold H Vincenzo's (top) is the place to go for Italian cuisine; the Bristol Bar & Grille has something to please every palatte. orse racing brings huge crowds to Louisville, and once they're there, they've got to eat. Fortunately, Derby City can accommodate them. Whatever you're hungry for and whatever your budget, you'll find a wide selection of places to dine after a day at the track. But with this variety, how can an out-of-towner decide where to go? Easy: Go where the horsemen go. They're the experts. "Louisville really has some outstanding restaurants," says trainer Dale Romans. "Some of the newest places are really good, but the older ones are my favorites." One place that has been a favorite for horsemen and fans alike for years is Wagner's Pharmacy at 3113 South 4th St. Located just outside the gates of Churchill Downs, the easily recognizable small white building serves only breakfast and lunch, but after a long morning on the backside, you'll find lots of folks enjoying a late breakfast there. The menu includes a sandwich with a famous and fitting name. For $4.50, the Derby Sandwich delivers hot honeyglazed ham with melted Swiss cheese and mayonnaise. In addition, Wagner's still has the pharmacy and package store that made it an indispensable part of Louisville for years. Another horseman's hotspot can be found just off the Watterson Expressway (I-264). Buckhead Mountain Grill is an easy 10-minute drive from Churchill, and you stand a good chance of running into a training all-star team when you're there. Although there are three Buckhead's locations in Louisville, the one on 3020 Bardstown Road is where you'll find familiar faces. A favorite of trainers, including Romans � who says he sees fellow trainers Steve Asmussen, Greg Foley and others there on a regular basis � Buckhead's offers reasonably priced, good food for lunch and dinner. The menu is fairly extensive, but if you want a taste of Kentucky, look no further than Page 3, where you'll find the Kentucky Hot Brown, a Louisville original created by Fred Schmitt in 1926 and served at the Brown Hotel in downtown Louisville. No meal will leave you fuller. For years, there weren't many places to eat downtown, but over the past decade, there has been an explosion in development, and diners in Louisville 46 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 47 the day's races before moving on to the corner, the outdoor seating is a temptnow have a wealth of choices. ing attraction.

My dad was training his horses at the old Green Tree Stables, which is now owned by Darley. It has its own private track, with two nice big barns. It was a great place to be stabled. I remember my dad getting me a gray pony to ride named Peaches and Cream. He would put me up in the saddle and pony me around the barn and the track. I remember my dad even bringing me to the main track one day. I Riley Mott has been around horses since he was a small child. He plans to follow in his father's footsteps and become a trainer. recall being really nervous at the time. Looking back at pictures of it now, it's pretty funny because I was so small that my feet could barely reach the stirrups, and I had a big old helmet on my little head. I remember sitting by the rail while the horses were training and loving the rhythmic sound of their breathing, and their feet hitting the ground as they galloped past. They are such huge animals, and I was so small � so it was pretty fascinating. It would get me really excited and made me want to run around all over the place. (Needless to say, I was a pretty hyper kid.) There are too many memories of horse racing for me to pick a favorite. One contender would be when we had a real nice Handicap horse a few years ago named Go Between. He was a Point Given homebred colt for Peter Vegso, one of my dad's longtime owners whom we have had a lot of success for. Early on, he was an average horse, but as he got older he took his game to another level. In his five-year-old season he won the Sunshine Millions Classic at Santa Anita. I think at that point we knew he would be a serious horse in the Handicap division. He finished second in both the Big Cap and Hollywood Gold Cup in California. He was running great in every race but kept falling short of that big Grade 1 win. We finally ran him in the Pacific Classic later in the summer. It had been a pretty mediocre Saratoga meeting compared to the meet my dad had the previous summer, so running well in this race would make up for a lot of those seconds and thirds we had been getting at Saratoga. We had Garrett Gomez riding him back, and I remember he got in a real nice spot going into the first turn and down the backside. It looked like he was traveling great, so I knew that he was going to have a real nice shot to win if he ran back to his previous races in California. In the final turn he was forced to go four or five wide, but he was still making up a lot of ground from mid-pack. In the stretch he hooked up with Well Armed, the eventual Dubai World Cup winner, and wore him down to win by a neck. I don't remember ever being so excited in my life. It was really special to be with my mom and dad watching the race and to see this hard-knocking horse win one of the premier races in the country. We were all so proud of him. He was definitely a barn favorite, and he is greatly missed. 54 STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 phOTOS COurTeSy riley mOT T Riley Mott with his father, Hall of Fame Trainer Bill Mott. I have always liked racing. It has always been a part of my life, and it's what puts groceries on the table, so I naturally liked it to begin with. I would go to the barn in the summers when I was really young and fill up water buckets, rake and do other odd jobs. What actually got me hooked on racing to the point where I loved it was when my dad and I took a trip to Dubai in 2002 to run our horse Del Mar Show in the Dubai Duty Free. I was 10 at the time. Dubai is an amazing place, and the track at the time, Nad Al Sheba, was just great. Of course they have no betting over there, so what attracts the people to the races is the sheer love of the sport. It was amazing to see the excitement of the people watching the races there. There is such a high energy level � which I love � and it rubbed off on me, which made me very engaged in the races. From then on I followed all of my dad's horses religiously and kept up with everything that was going on in the racing world. It is pretty funny how it happened � it was like one day I was interested in horse racing, and the next day I couldn't get my nose out of a Racing Form. I guess it's in my DNA to love it. Racing was definitely something that was always there. I have an older brother and a little sister, and our lives were based around the horses. All through elementary and middle school we would spend our falls in Long Island for the Belmont Fall meet, our winters down south in Florida for Gulfstream, come back to Long Island for the Belmont Spring meet, and finally spend our summers upstate in Saratoga. We were always moving around on account of the horses. I never minded it, though. I loved every place that we would migrate to, and I think it taught me how to cope with new surroundings and how to meet people easier. My dad never tried to keep horses and family separate. My brother, Brady, and I started going to work at the barn at a very young age, and my dad encouraged that. It taught us discipline and responsibility, waking up early in the morning and getting our chores done at the barn. As I got older my responsibilities at the barn grew, and I have learned a lot just by being there and watching my dad, as well as learning from our assistants, foremen and grooms. You must keep an open mind and always be willing to learn something new. Listening to the advice people give you can only help. Racing will definitely play a part in my future � in fact, it already has. I am attending the University of Kentucky next year in Lexington, and a big reason why I opted to go there is its location. It is obviously the horse capital of the United States, with an endless number of farms � and of course Keeneland. I want to be surrounded by horses, and I think the best way to do that is to be in Kentucky. I plan on working for my dad at Keeneland in the fall and the spring, and hopefully working at a farm somewhere during the winter. Ultimately, I want to be a trainer myself. Since I began to love the horses, I have known deep down that training is what I want to do. In a perfect world, after college I would love to work my way up the ladder of my dad's system and become his assistant. I know I have learned so much from him already, and there is plenty more for me to learn. If everything goes according to plan, I would love to open up a stable of my own someday. It is something I dream about, and think I am capable of doing because I am surrounded by great horsemen and horsewomen who can give me the opportunity to learn from them and hopefully one day be successful as a trainer. My dad has told me that he won't encourage me to be a trainer, but at the same time he won't discourage me. It's nice because I know I have his and my family's support either way, no matter what I end up doing. h STriDe magazine April 17, 2010 55

February 6, 2012 — Tony Trenkle is the chief information officer and the director of the Office of Information Services at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
This means he sits on top of a budget that is estimated to be almost one billion dollars.
Trenko joins host John Gilroy to give his perspective on federal IT concerns.
He will discuss siloed business units and vulnerable budgets.
For example, an agency may have a general transformational plan for altering an IT process. The concern is that project managers may have a short term mindset and understand how a project may impact other federal processes.
"Scope" creep is a topic that systems developers talk about.
Trenko mentions this when he talks about the over 175 data centers that are part of his responsibility.
The issue is when new technology or new security requirements put demands on data centers.
Trenko suggests that a good practice may be to review the terms of the agreement to make sure it is as flexible as some of the changing requirements.
How the US Mint and NIST are perfecting the money-making process.

PRUDENCE is a NYT bestseller!
We're thrilled to announce that Gail Carriger's PRUDENCE, hit the New York Times hardcover fiction bestseller list at #19!* Congratulations Gail Carriger!
This marks Gail's sixth appearance on the New York Times bestseller list for Orbit, following her 5-book Parasol Protectorate series (SOULLESS, et al.). Gail's Finishing School series for LBYR also hit the children's list.
If you have not picked up the first book of Gail's charming new series, get yourself to a bookstore forthwith! Prudence is a delightful read, and one that you'll have a hard time putting down once you crack open its pages. Start by reading an excerpt now.
*Goes live on Sunday the 5th!
More about the story:
Introducing the Custard Protocol series, in which Alexia Maccon's daughter Prudence travels to India on behalf of Queen, country…and the perfect pot of tea.
When Prudence Alessandra Maccon Akeldama ("Rue" to her friends) is bequeathed an unexpected dirigible, she does what any sensible female under similar circumstances would do — she christens it the Spotted Custard and floats off to India.
Soon, she stumbles upon a plot involving local dissidents, a kidnapped brigadier's wife, and some awfully familiar Scottish werewolves. Faced with a dire crisis (and an embarrassing lack of bloomers), Rue must rely on her good breeding — and her metanatural abilities — to get to the bottom of it all…

Skiing/Snowboarding Scholarships
The most generous – and competitive – skiing and snowboarding scholarships will naturally be at colleges situated in locations where snow sports are ways of life. The University of Denver, for example, offers not only a recognized college ski team, but an opportunity to train on some of the best slopes in the country if you're serious about honing your craft. Most skiing and snowboarding scholarships will be college-based, and under the rules of the NCAA. You'll need a minimum GPA to qualify not only for scholarships but to land a position on a team. You'll also need to keep your grades up to stay on the team, as all those awarded NCAA sports scholarships must maintain a strong academic record to participate in their college sports programs. Depending on the program though, you could get up to a full scholarship if you're a good enough skier or boarder, although many schools will use available scholarship funding to build the best team possible and allocate a certain percentage to each athlete.
If you're a high school skier or boarder with an impressive athletic and academic record, go after those college-based scholarships yourself rather than waiting for them to come to you. Contact colleges with ski and snowboard programs that you're interested in, and conduct a college search to narrow down your choices. Competition for the winter sport is high at the top programs, so don't rule out smaller schools that have athletic programmed just as rewarding as those at the biggest schools.
Check out some examples of skiing and snowboarding scholarships below. For additional information about skiing and snowboarding scholarships and awards based on different criteria, try conducting a free college scholarship search at Scholarships.com.
NCAA Scholarships
About $1 billion in full and partial athletic scholarships are awarded each year by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to more than 126,000 undergraduate student-athletes at Division I and Division II schools. Although these scholarships are awarded and administered directly by each academic institution, not the NCAA, you'll be required to meet the requirements of the NCAA to receive any funding. Those requirements include a minimum GPA for both the college-bound and those already on campuses, and qualifying standardized test scores. Contact your intended school's athletic department for more information if you have the academics and the skill to ski on a college team.
College-Based Scholarships
If you plan on skiing in college, your intended college could have funds and endowments for the sport, often set up by alumni who were skiing on the school team before you ever set foot on that campus. Sierra Nevada College, for example, has a Ski/Snowboard Athletic Scholarship dedicated to members of the school's ski and snowboard teams. Make sure you do your research, and talk to your financial aid office and athletic departments about local and college-based awards you could be eligible for.
U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association
The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association has a tuition assistance program for student-athletes who are U.S. Snowboarding team members with minimum 2.0 GPAs. If you're Olympic caliber and qualify for the A, B, or C teams, you're automatically eligible for an award. Alumni are also eligible for two years of financial assistance after they officially retire. Applicants' annual incomes should not be greater than $50,000, and skiers must be enrolled in an accredited college or university. The association also has a partnership going with the University of Utah. Utah skiers attending school in-state are eligible for in-state student rates following an immediate move to Utah, rather than waiting a year or more before eligibility kicks in for in-state scholarship awards.

July 1, 2015
by Ashley GregoWhen most people hear Penn State, they think of the college town located in State College famous for Beaver Stadium and football.
