A Happy New Year or Will Racing Tap Out?
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL., January 1, 2015—It is the last day of the year and everyone will start out even--everyone except those who are tethered to this game in both body and soul.
Despite the injustices that hurt every owner, every trainer, every jockey, every backstretch and, of course, the horseplayer, each is all in. This all-consuming exercise requires nothing less.
In a culture that will bet on virtually anything--even illegally, if the proposition is popular enough--it is the horseplayer that society holds in low regard.
For many, the horseplayer is a cliché: He is the guy you meet on a street corner, a racetrack, or even in front of a home computer wearing worn out shoes; with silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants, looking like he probably drinks a bit, too.
But it is the horseplayer who is the most resilient of gamblers: You can ignore him, lie to him, cheat him, steal from him and keep him in the dark. But you can count on him, win or lose, mostly lose, but he keeps coming back for more.
Until he doesn't.
On both coasts recently, in jurisdictions considered to be the most important in the country, there unfortunately were disparate events that were cut from the cloth of ineptitude, arrogance, indifference or all the preceding.
Normally, these kind stories would make me angry. Instead, all I'm left with is a feeling of sadness.
It is true that hope cannot pay the bills, but hope is the currency on which this game is built, what it will need to survive. Without hope, interest wanes and all is on its way to being lost.
At its best, horse racing provides a sanctuary, an all-consuming antidote for real life syndrome. But there is no escaping reality. Like the poet says, every refuge has its price.
Several stories emerged in the final throes of 2014 that give even the most hopeful horseplayers pause, fearing that all the talk and promises are empty. Change for the better is hopeless, just another sleight of hand.
Today, New York-based trainer David Cannizzo begins serving a 45-day suspension because three horses he trained, two winners and a runner-up, tested positive for Propoxyphene.
As climate-change deniers say, I'm no scientist, but the painkiller best known by its trade name, Darvon, is classified as a Class 3 drug by the Association of Racing Commissioners International.
If a painkiller isn't a reliable performance enhancer, I shudder to think how harmful Class 2 and Class 1 drugs truly are, whatever the scenario.
Cannizzo has denied any wrongdoing, telling Daily Racing Form that it was "a total contamination type of thing…nothing we did…still trying to figure it out" and the reason he didn't appeal is because "there are too many big things coming up."
The trainer originally was suspended 75 days, of which 30 were stayed, and he was fined a total of $6,000, the owners compelled to forfeit purse money by order of the New York Gaming Commission.
Cannizzo, a third generation horseman, is the brother of Jeffrey Cannizzo, the current Executive Director of the New York State Breeders Inc. The optics on this look none too good.
Things are no better on the left coast given the report that Rodenticide, rat poison, is "a possible link" between the seven horses from Bob Baffert's barn that died within 18 months of Sudden Equine Death Syndrome.
A 2013 investigation concluded that environmental factors were possible links; the barn itself, possibly Hollywood Park's track surface. A cluster of death in such a short time, from one barn? More bad optics.
Last year, Dr. Rick Arthur of the California Horse Racing Board talked about a possible link to the thyroid medication Thyroxine, whose properties stimulate the consumption of oxygen and increase metabolism.
Overuse in animals results in hyperactivity, excess consumption of water or feed and a faster heart rate. Thyroxine was administered to every horse in Baffert's barn whether it had thyroid issues or not.
Another use for Thyroxine in a healthy equine, however, is as an EPO antidote, a medication that thickens blood by producing extra red blood cells to ward off fatigue.
Horses treated with Erythropoietin tire at a slower rate, taking advantage of "extra oxygen" created by the increase of red blood cells. Thickened blood causes clots and blood clots can cause heart attacks in healthy individuals. Worse optics, still.
But it was the greed displayed by Santa Anita last Sunday which was the most egregious example of the kind of disregard executive bean counters, officials and industry organizations can have for their customers and their sport.
Despite the protestations of a horseplayer activist who contacted the CHRB, stewards, and track executives before the day's second race, wanting some explanation as to why one particular soon-to-be 6-year-old mare, Seeking Bliss, was allowed to race.
The activist also wondered aloud on his widely circulated industry-contact list why no action was taken by the Jockeys Guild: The response he received was an email from a Guild operative asking that his name be removed from the mailing list.
It never should have reached that point. Prior to Sunday, Seeking Bliss raced seven times. Six times she finished last, losing by an aggregate 239 lengths, 34 lengths per start. The race in which she beat three of 10 rivals, she was 112-1.
In another race, her post time odds were 133-1. The shortest prices in those starts were 33-1 and 37-1. In six of those seven races, she earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 0.
Last Sunday she was last of nine, beaten off after breaking badly and far behind her rivals. She ridden out by her 7-pound apprentice jockey to complete the course "a quarter mile behind the field," according to the official chart. She was 94-1.
No racetrack, most especially one of the premier winter signals in the world, has any business allowing this type of no-hope money-burner to race. She should not have been allowed to race for her own protection, her rider's safety and the integrity of the betting pools.
If my colleague Paul Moran were writing this, he might have described Santa Anita's behavior as being cravenly avaricious.
Worshipping at the altar of bottom line handle must end for this game to survive. If the racing office can't fill a sufficiently, or find a suitable extra, then run one less race. If this is habitual, shorten the race week.
Tracks run large fields of lower class horses to feed their multi-race race pools, believing that more "spread races" will increase handle and/or create carryovers, catering to a small pool of gamblers and arbitrageurs who command a sizable percentage of handle.
What will they be left with after these market speculators move on to the next big thing?
Low-takeout, high-degree-of-difficult wagers, often promoted with ersatz guaranteed minimums, are a money-suck of rank-and-file horseplayer bankrolls.
Admittedly, carryovers create increased handle, but most every day players are frozen out because of bankroll limitations. Track executives fail to realize that more bettors will jump into horizontal pools when they see a "free square."
Big payoffs create big headlines for a day. Smaller payoffs create more winners and a fiscally healthier fan base by keeping betting money in circulation. The low-takeout wager is, on balance, a promotional shell game.
Increasing the number of betting opportunities is another narrow minded approach. Too many betting opportunities; not enough money in individual pools. Not enough money in individual pools; more late-odds drops.
Worse, it kills pool liquidity. Too many bets per card turns off the whales that all bet-takers covet. And worse, still, it hurts every level of bettor who, like the game, must churn to survive. But, I digress.
What makes me dejected on the most hopeful day of the year is that a handful of recent events show a lack of respect for the game's equine athletes, the sport, and the intelligence of its customers.
Maybe what's needed here is for horseplayers to stage die-ins in front of every grandstand and clubhouse gate at every major venue
Who knows? Maybe an unconcerned and disinterested mainstream media will be compelled to shine a light on what's at stake: history; tradition; jobs and a way of life. What depresses most is knowing, through the prism of past performances, that truly meaningful reform will not be coming from within.

While a recent study indicates that overall credit card debt has declined over the last year, with average cardholder debt still topping $6,500, paying off balances is an ongoing struggle for many consumers.
A person with $6,500 in credit card debt at an 18-percent interest rate will take 25 years to pay off their debt if they only make the minimum monthly payments.
In addition to the $6,500 principal, cardholders will pay an additional $9,173 in interest, meaning that $6,500 in purchases will cost the consumer $15,673.
Effective leadership requires organization, a commitment to teamwork and an open mind.
Students participating in the Roane County Youth Leadership Academy at Roane State Community College were taught these lessons and many others during the weeklong program in June.
The six rising high school seniors participated in classroom discussions about leadership and in numerous exercises designed to teach them to work together.
An Oak Ridge resident with a home appraised at $100,000 will pay an additional $16.23 in taxes if a property tax rate increase is approved by the Roane County Commission.
"The people that I've talked to don't feel that we get our money's worth in services," Commissioner Steve Kelley said.
"The people in the Oak Ridge portion of Roane County do all their business in Oak Ridge."
The 30-percent water-rate increases talked about for Rockwood customers will go into effect Aug. 1 if a resolution is approved at special-called meetings this week.
Rockwood Water, Sewer and Gas Board will meet in special-called session at 7 p.m. today, July 11, to discuss approval of the rate increase and the 2011-12 budget.
Rockwood City Council has scheduled a special-called meeting for 4 p.m. July 15 for the same purpose.
Crack cocaine was allegedly found on a Rockwood man already wanted on drug charges.
According to an arrest report, a Rockwood police officer saw Elvin Landis Witherspoon walking in Evans Heights on Thursday.
The report said Witherspoon, 30, was arrested after the officer was advised of his active warrants for drug charges.
"Upon taking subject into custody, he advised he had a $20 rock in his left pocket," the report said. "I removed it and he stated that it was crack cocaine."
Rockwood City Council approved a budget that leaves its property tax rate at 75 cents per $100 valuation and gives its employees a 3 percent raise.
Council member Pete Wright likes the budget as it stands.
"I see no reason to make any changes as we go into this coming year," he said.
Harriman City Council member J.D. Sampson is still on his crusade to secure part of the $900,000 he said still remains of TVA restitution monies available for the Kingston Fossil Plant ash spill.
"We lost gas, water and power in Swan Pond," he said of the December 2008 disaster. "Kingston didn't lose nothing."
He points out that the Swan Pond area is in Harriman's urban growth boundary, and TVA's subsequent purchase of properties takes away potential property tax revenue and utility customers from the city.
Harriman is the latest Roane County municipality to consider hiring an industrial or retail recruiter to draw business to the area.
"In my opinion, with Midtown coming on like it is, I think either you all or us need to have a retail recruiter of our own," Mayor Chris Mason recently told the Harriman Economic Development Board.
He praised the work of Darrell Williams, The Roane Alliance's director of business development, but added, "I think we have enough to keep Darrell busy."

Codon usage bias and the evolution of influenza A viruses. Codon Usage Biases of Influenza Virus

2 Department of Biochemistry, The University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam, Hong Kong, China
3 Department of Biomedical Informatics and Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, USA
BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:253 doi:10.1186/1471-2148-10-253Published: 19 August 2010
The influenza A virus is an important infectious cause of morbidity and mortality in humans and was responsible for 3 pandemics in the 20th century. As the replication of the influenza virus is based on its host's machinery, codon usage of its viral genes might be subject to host selection pressures, especially after interspecies transmission. A better understanding of viral evolution and host adaptive responses might help control this disease.
Relative Synonymous Codon Usage (RSCU) values of the genes from segment 1 to segment 6 of avian and human influenza viruses, including pandemic H1N1, were studied via Correspondence Analysis (CA). The codon usage patterns of seasonal human influenza viruses were distinct among their subtypes and different from those of avian viruses. Newly isolated viruses could be added to the CA results, creating a tool to investigate the host origin and evolution of viral genes. It was found that the 1918 pandemic H1N1 virus contained genes with mammalian-like viral codon usage patterns, indicating that the introduction of this virus to humans was not through in toto transfer of an avian influenza virus.
Many human viral genes had directional changes in codon usage over time of viral isolation, indicating the effect of host selection pressures. These changes reduced the overall GC content and the usage of G at the third codon position in the viral genome. Limited evidence of translational selection pressure was found in a few viral genes.
Codon usage patterns from CA allowed identification of host origin and evolutionary trends in influenza viruses, providing an alternative method and a tool to understand the evolution of influenza viruses. Human influenza viruses are subject to selection pressure on codon usage which might assist in understanding the characteristics of newly emerging viruses.

The Final Inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint.
"I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough.
"But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
"I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
"If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

Brown belt Gianni Grippo hooked gold at lightweight in the Boston Open, but came short in the absolute, being stopped by a Keenan Cornelius' choke.
"I felt misplaced and could not neutralize it, which resulted in the guard pass," acknowledged the protégé of Renzo Gracie, who already sees another duel with heavyweight Cornelius. "Also, I let him get too comfortable. I should have worked harder to get to locations that I prefer.
"Next time, I'll need to have a faster onset and be more aggressive. I can not let him get comfortable and unthreatened. Someone with as much talent as Cornelius can not be left at peace ever during a match."
Also in preparation for the Pan in late March, Grippo goes back in action at the Chicago Open this weekend.
"It will be fun. I love competing, I like to prove my worth. The competition will be very difficult, but my goal is to win weight and absolute, "said the fighter, who has the perfect plan to conquer the Windy City. "I have already studied all my opponents, so I did not change my game for them. I know where their strong points are and will not let them get where they want. I'll keep my game."

Rated 5 out of 5 by mike It's just tennis balls for pete's sake. Not sure why it's so important for me to review this product but Dick's seems to want it bad. If I were to review the product, I would have to say I am thoroughly satisfied with this product as provided by Dick's. I ordered an 8 can pack and did in fact receive 8 cans of tennis balls. The balls are nice and round, they a bouncy and they are yellow. Now if Dick's were to ask me to review their service, delivery, pricing and overall satisfaction with this order, I would honestly say it was an excellent buying experience. The price was competitive, they delivered ahead of time, kept me informed of the progress of my order and delivered precisely what was ordered. July 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mike Good balls for the money! I bought the 8 pack regular duty and bought 5 packs so that I could use the $20 off of $100. Cost after the $20 off was $2.20 per can plus tax. This is as good a cost as I can find and I go through a lot of balls plays multiple times each week indoors and on clay. February 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by buzzy2247 Dog Worthy Three dogs in need of a rugged tennis ball to last their heavy play an these do the trick. They would probably be good for tennis too :) March 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gregp3t3rbuilt Great Balls Last for a long time. They are great balls. They are much better then the Penn equivalents and last longer. May 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Guy Tennis balls fine, but where are the gloves? I'm not a golfer, but I'm sure there's a reason so many of the gloves in the golf department were left-handed. I would love to have purchased a right hand glove to use in tennis. I was a little pressed for time and was missing the chance to ask for assistance. It's just that the I was just a little frustrated there were so many left-handed gloves in the golf department but no gloves I could see in the tennis department nor right-handed gloves in the golf department that might have served as well in tennis.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jeet64 This product had a great price and good features main reason I got these tennis balls was that, I teach tennis and I wanted a reputable name not just practice balls or Dunlop or Slazenger.

Rated 4 out of 5 by oldguy good product, reasonable price the product is great for clay court play. The store person was really helpful in getting the order placed as it was not available in the store. It arrived as expected. Thanks June 15, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by bob1942 Convenience and quality outweighs on-line purchase cost I needed quality soft court tennis balls and rather than driving around and not finding them I ordered them on-line. The price was higher than I am accustomed to paying and the shipping costs drove up the price even more, but I received delivery promptly. Next time I may drive the 12 miles to the cnearest Dick's Sporting Goods retail store at the St. Johns Town Center in Jacksonville, FL. April 23, 2015

It's an old, old story; you could say it's antique. Architect designs major public building. Costs soar. Shock! Horror! The latest subject of this story is Zaha Hadid, the celebrated British architect currently at work on the design of the Aquatic Centre, the architectural showcase of the 2012 London Olympics.
Reports in yesterday's press seemed to confirm that Hadid's ambitious and rather beautiful building is going way over budget and that, by implication, the architect is to blame. It's the showy quality of her design, all those gracefully billowing curves that are at fault. If only she had knuckled down and designed something as dull as the Olympic Stadium itself, she would be off the hook, smelling not just of chlorine but of roses . . .
But, there are costs and costs. The figures quoted in the press reports are 'gross' costs as opposed to 'net' costs of the unjustly vilified project. 'Net' costs are those the actual structure of a building demands of a budget. In the case of the Aquatics Centre, these have risen by 20% as the design has been altered to meet the shifting demands of her client, the Olympic Delivery Authority. The 'gross' cost of the project includes any amount of consultants' and lawyers' fees, an enormous contingency for rising costs that have nothing directly to do with the architect. In the case of the Olympics' buildings, these are all prodigious.
Exactly the same very expensive cheap shots were fired at the Richard Rogers Partnership a few years ago during the design and construction of the National Assembly for Wales. As the 'gross' costs rose, nearly all of them due to political interference and ever rising consultants' fees, Rogers was blamed not just by ill-mannered and sometimes ill-informed local politicians but also by the press that still, for reasons I have never been able to fathom, likes to put the boot into any architect engaged on a major public building project. The 'net' cost of the Welsh Assembly building was a very reasonable one.
The trouble is that when costs rise in such a spectacular fashion, and especially when buck-passing politicians and faceless quangoes are involved, it's easy to lay the blame at the door of the architect. In this, the Olympics Delivery Authority and the politicians associated with it are behaving exactly as any of us have come to expect. And, yet, they should be thankful to Hadid and her spirited team. The Aquatics Centre is the architectural saving grace of the bad-tempered, secretive and ill-mannered Olympics project. It was her design, as Ken Livingstone said, that helped turn the Olympics London's way.
Hadid is too sensible to fight back against such claims; I'm doing it for her and her architects here, because it seems so wrong for politicians, bureaucrats and the press (sorry) to knock such a truly Olympian talent when this is so very much needed. She did not have this problem with her recent buildings in Germany, including the magnificent Phaeno Science Centre at Wolfsburg.

JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL: Two year old Sasha Lamaya Ray was allegedly stabbed to death by her 13 year old half-sister, Tyasia Jackson, Monday in DeKalb County, Ga.
WSBTV reports the toddler was found dead behind her home on Waldrop Trail, and the teenager, who was allegedly babysitting her siblings, will be charged with her death.
Tyasia Jackson will be charged as an adult. It is quite obvious the teen was upset about something, but to kill the baby? That's just heinous.

I was raised yard sale-ing and thrifting, so it's only natural that I find complete and utter high's when doing either of these. I love the thrill of the hunt and looking at something and trying to find a different use for it or seeing that it can be reformed/reused/refurbished to make it better.
I am a mother of 2 young girls ages 4 and 2 and I have to find time around them to do my projects. They are my loves along with my husband! We live in a darling "porch" community in Utah where it is very normal to sit on your porch rocking chairs and wave to the neighbors and go on long walks around the lake.

Secretary of State Colin Powell told NPR Wednesday that the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region does not yet equal genocide. Fowler explains how the concept is defined in international treaties and then parsed by countries.

Total: 49
NFL Betting Game Trends
Chicago Bears
- Chicago is 2-4-1 ATS in its last 7 games
- The total has gone OVER in 7 of Chicago's last 10 games
- Chicago is 2-5 SU in its last 7 games
- Chicago is 3-6 SU in its last 9 games on the road
- The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Chicago's last 9 games on the road

- The total has gone OVER in 6 of Green Bay's last 7 games
- The total has gone OVER in 5 of Green Bay's last 5 games at home
- Green Bay is 14-2 SU in its last 16 games at home
- The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Green Bay's last 9 games when playing Chicago
NFL Pick – Week 2
The NFC North will be in the spotlight this Thursday night as Chicago will try and move to 2-0 straight-up on the year after pasting Indianapolis 41-21 on opening day as a 10-point favorite at home. The total went well OVER the 41.5-point line. The Colts actually took an early 7-0 lead and trailed by just 10 points at the half, but the Bears' offense led by Jay Cutler proved to be just too much to contain for Indianapolis.
Cutler ended the day with 333 yards passing and two touchdowns while completing 60 percent of his throws. He hooked-up with his former Broncos' teammate Brandon Marshall nine times for 119 yards and one score. Matt Forte added 80 yards on the ground including a six-yard touchdown that put the game out of reach at 31-14.
Green Bay will not have to worry about going undefeated this season after winning 15 of 16 regular season games last year. The Packers 30-22 loss to San Francisco this past Sunday as six-point home favorites has them in real danger of a 0-2 start if there defense fails to show-up again this Thursday night. The total in this game also went OVER with the line set at 46.5.
You cannot blame Aaron Rodgers for the loss after throwing for 303 yards and two touchdowns while completing 68.2 percent of his throws, but you can place some of it on a running game that generated only 45 yards on 14 attempts. The rest of the blame goes to a defense that once again was torched for close to 400 yards of total offense including 186 yards on the ground. If that keeps up, you might want to quickly try and add Forte to your fantasy team for this week.
Green Bay does not usually lose two games in-a-row, especially at home, but stick with the Bears to cover on Thursday night with the 5.5 points. Look for both Cutler and Rodgers to have big nights in what should be a nail-biter that ends in a three-point spread either way. Green Bay 34 Chicago 31

Mathew Davey, M.D., FAAD, sees people with skin cancer everywhere he goes—and not just in his dermatology office. "I can't go an hour without seeing skin cancer," he said, referring to the most common carcinomas: basal cell and squamous cell. "I see them so often. I see them even when I'm standing in the supermarket line."
Dr. Davey detected his own father's melanoma recently. Melanoma is a less common but more serious skin cancer. Fortunately, it was stage one and his dad had a good outcome. But that doesn't happen all the time. Some people wait too long.
Skin cancer can be deadly. It's the most common form of cancer in the United States, with two million people diagnosed every year. There's been an alarming rise in all age groups, but the incidence of melanoma among 18- to 39-year-old women is up 800 percent in women the last 40 years.
With Memorial Day the kickoff to summer, it's a good time to learn the facts.
He also recommended sun protective clothing, which you can find in sporting goods stores. He wore it on a recent vacation and was surprised to see a lot of others donning it as well. "We're behind the west and east coasts," he said. "Sun protective clothing is really in vogue there."
He predicted the clothing would become more popular in the Midwest, while he hoped tan skin would become less popular. "I hope in the next 10 to 20 years all patients will think tans aren't attractive anymore," he said as he looked at photos of skin cancers on a dermatology website. "One thing I know. I never had a patient say they wish they'd had more sun."

Brangelina Gives Over $6 Million To Charity.
Even if you still have a Team Jennifer fantasy somewhere in the back of your mind (don't you judge me!), it's hard to deny that Brangelina has become a powerful force for good.
According to the 2008 tax return for the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sent over $6 million to charities last year.
Brad and Angelina each put about $6 million into the foundation last year and gave a reported $6.4 million away to various charities.
Who got the money?
$2 million went to Global Health, while Human Rights Watch and Brad's Make it Right Foundation got $1 million each. The foundation also gave $500,000 to the Armed Services YMCA of the U.S. Army; $50,000 to the Springfield, Missouri Public Schools (Brad's hometown); and roughly a million dollars to projects in Cambodia, the country where the couple adopted their first child.
The foundation's only reported expenses were $224,564 for grant management paid to the Global Philanthropy Group.
I've taken out my calculator and figured out: that's one heck of a tax deduction!
(And also very nice. Obviously.)

DOE, Investors Give $3 Billion to Carbon Capture Projects
We recently looked at a startup called Carbozyme that wants to use enzymes found in human blood as a model for carbon capture and storage. Carbozyme has a long way to go before its method hits the market, but the U.S. Department of Energy announced today that it wants to speed up the implementation of carbon capture and storage with a $3 billion grant ($1 billion from the DOE, $2 billion from private investors) for three large-scale CCS projects.
The investments will go to three coal power plants that use three different methods of CCS: a plant in West Virginia that plans on capturing 90% of emissions from a 1.3 gigawatt coal plant, chilling the emissions with ammonia to compress them, and storing them in underground saline aquifers; a plant in Alabama that will use similar methods, but also use gas for enhanced oil recovery; and a Texas project that will capture 90% of emissions from a 400-megawatt plant for enhanced oil recovery.
In addition to the latest $3 billion cash injection, the DOE has also pledged $1 billion to FutureGen, a 275-megawatt CCS project that was intended to be the first large-scale testing ground for the technology. Thanks to the latest round of funding for CCS, it might be beaten to the punch.

At Nitronomics.org & Nitrofleet99 - we are are stakeholders with the DOE's Clean Cities Coalition and affiliated with the EPA's Green Gas Station initiative.
NitroFleet99 is building a national infra-structure to allow large and small managed fleets to improve fuel performance, extend tire life and REDUCE carbon emissions. The reduction in spent tire casings is in the 100's of millions per year in the U.S. alone... This environmental benefit is the bonus to the use of Nitrogen as the inflation medium for this new century. Look at the Nitronomics.org site and understand why we are yet another part of the solution for carbon reudction on this planet.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/20/12
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier could earn himself another statue if his 13th-ranked Gamecocks defeat No. 12 Clemson this weekend. South Carolina (9-2) could pull off its fourth-straight victory in the rivalry, something the Gamecocks have accomplished once in the series that was first played in 1896. Spurrier can also become the program's all-time wins leader with 65 victories, surpassing Rex Enright's mark he tied a week ago. Spurrier says he's got too much to worry about with Clemson's high-speed offense and defense that's given up ground, but held the line when it mattered most. The Gamecocks (9-2) have won two of the past three games against Clemson (10-1) at Death Valley. Spurrier says Clemson is an early-season loss to Florida State away from being in the national title hunt

Publisher Drago invited artist Jeremy Fish to come to Rome and create site-specific works, the results of which are found in the book Rome-antic Delusions. The title is a play on words and the contents contain a Roman remix of Jeremy's images—the Italian touch has been added to his usual cast of characters, and his rich iconography has had a glass of prosecco and a plate of pasta.

A classic performance by youth for Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra
If you're worried about the future of classical music, you should really hear this weekend's Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra concert, which features both a conductor and soloist of the under-30 set.
Guest conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali led the orchestra through beautifully crafted interpretations of music by Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius on Friday evening. He and the orchestra were joined by cellist Andreas Brantelid in a deeply musical rendering of Dmitri Shostakovich's Concerto No. 1 for Cello and Orchestra. »Read Full Article
Chamber Theatre faces tragedy in 'October, Before I Was Born'
Late on a Tuesday afternoon in October 1960, a deadly explosion at the Tennessee Eastman Co. plant left employees' loved ones in the dark, desperately waiting for news in a prewired era of shared phone lines and radio stations that signed off at dusk.
In Lori Matthews' "October, Before I Was Born" — which opened at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre Friday, under C. Michael Wright's direction — we spend 90 anxiously unfolding, real-time minutes waiting alongside three of them. »Read Full Article

Can't view advertisements on Web page
I am using Windows XP but I am having problems connecting to some Web pages. For example this Web page on the right...
side has some advertisements and I do not see them. On a different computer using Windows 98, when I right click on the "ad" and properties it shows as Hypertext protocol. On my XP computer it shows "unknown" protocol. William, It sounds like one of Internet Explorer's usual hick-ups :) While I've never come across the exact same problem, I'm sure an update will help solve this problem.

A stone's throw from the port are dozens of eateries specializing in whatever was caught that morning. You won't find any fresher fish than at this tiny storefront restaurant near Mercado Central. Through a window on the street you can watch the chefs prying oysters open and rolling razor clams into empanadas. The simple dining room has a half-dozen tables under chandeliers shaped like—you guessed it—ships' wheels.

Upcoming Homeschool Friday Programs
February 6 | Columbia in the Civil War
As Columbia remembers the 150th anniversary of the fire that swept through the city upon the arrival of the Union army in February 1865, we will look at the role Columbia played during the Civil War. This program will explore the industries, people, and events surrounding Columbia in the Civil War.
March 6 | Schools in the 19th Century
From one-room school houses to the colleges that occupied the Hampton-Preston Mansion and Robert Mills House at the end of the 1800s, schools and universities in Columbia were quite different than they are today. Students will take part in a variety of activities to see how students packed for college, what they ate, sports they played, and the degrees that they earned. Students can handle a 100-year-old textbook and complete an assignment using a quill pen.
April 3 | Robert Mills House as a Seminary
Few people realize that the Robert Mills House was never used as a private residence; shortly after it was completed, the home was turned into a seminary. This program will explore the history of the site as a seminary and other religious educational institutions.

At UT, students weigh in on debate via texts
Baker Center hosts debate viewing event
For the more than 100 people watching the presidential debate at the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy on the University of Tennessee campus, the debate didn't change their minds, but they enjoyed being able to discuss the debate as it was going on via text messages shown on a separate screen.
Calvin Hiatt, a UT sophomore from Chattanooga, said he didn't see much of a difference between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
"It's hard to say who won. They're both going back and forth," he said.
Hiatt said having one screen where people in the room could text their thoughts on the debate while everyone watched the debate on another screen made the debate more enjoyable.
"You could still have discussion about the debate without interrupting everyone," he said.
Tyrel Prentiss, a UT sophomore from Knoxville, said he thought Obama won the debate because he gave more specific answers.
"A few times they're saying the same thing in different ways just to pander to the audience," he said.
Hannah Bailey, a sophomore from Oak Ridge, helped organize the debate.
"The room is full and I'm really pleased with the turnout," Bailey said. "Everyone seems happy."
Lindsay Lee, a junior from Oak Ridge, said the two candidates were rude to moderator Jim Lehrer.
"They didn't follow form; they were spouting off at each other. No one was speaking about the drone strikes in the Middle East," she said.
Daniel Snider of Knoxville said he wasn't impressed with either candidate in their first debate.
"I think their exchanges were kind of petty," he said.
Nissa Dahlin-Brown, associate director of the Baker Center, said the event went well and she was pleased with the polling of the students done via text during the debate.
"We were able to get everybody's input," she said. "The stats show youth are not engaged and do not vote. One reason we do this is to get them thinking about the election and get them engaged with the issues. It was mostly students in this room and I thought it was great."

AD steps up support despite record
Updated: November 18, 2003, 9:13 AM ETAssociated Press
SEATTLE -- Washington coach Keith Gilbertson will return for at least one more season despite a crushing loss to California, Huskies athletic director Barbara Hedges says.
Gilbertson signed a four-year contract with two years basically guaranteed when he was hired in late July after the firing of Rick Neuheisel.
"He stepped into a very difficult situation at a very late
date," Hedges told The Seattle Times. "Some things this season
have not gone as expected, but he is an ...

Achieving secure communications in networks has been one of the most important problems in information technology. Dolev, Dwork, Waarts, and Yung have studied secure message transmission in one-way or two-way channels. They only consider the case when all channels are two-way or all channels are one-way. Goldreich, Goldwasser, and Linial, Franklin and Yung, Franklin and Wright, and Wang and Desmedt have studied secure communication and secure computation in multi-recipient (multicast) models. In a "multicast channel" (such as Ethernet), one processor can send the same message - simultaneously and privately - to a fixed subset of processors. In this paper, we shall study necessary and sufficient conditions for achieving secure communications against active adversaries in mixed one-way and two-way channels. We also discuss multicast channels and neighbor network channels.

It doesn't happen as often as it should but when this offense clicks, they put on a hitting clinic.
Tonight was a course in hitting doubles as the first four Sox players in the lineup as Jacoby Ellsbury, Carl Crawford, Dustin Pedroia, & Adrian Gonzalez combined for eight of them & eight runs as they lead the Sox to a 9-2 win over Texas. The top of the order kept on attacking Yu Darvish and the rest of the Texas Rangers pitching as they finished a combined 11-18 for the night.
The offense gave more than enough to Aaron Cook, who had the sinker working against this potent Texas offense. He went seven strong innings, scattered six hits, and the only run given up was off of a David Murphy RBI single in the second to give the Rangers a 1-0 lead. That's when the double barrage came as they scored nine unanswered runs off of Darvish & Michael Kirkman to make this game a laugher.
Junichi Tazawa finished the final two innings and gave Adrian Beltre a slider that was right in his wheelhouse and he launched one into the Monster seats which merely padded his stats and gave Sox fans something to reminisce over.
Now let's hope that the offense can continue to hit like it did tonight...

July 21, 2014 [RE-BROADCAST OF 11/13/2010]
A nightmare one family will never wake from.
It started just after 5:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2010. Inside the home near 43rd Aveune and Thomas, the parents and their two young children were sound asleep. Then there was a loud crash of breaking glass.
"And at the same time my kids started screaming and crying," the victim said.
The victim said he was so startled he leapt out of bed, falling and breaking his arm. He scrambled to his feet, heading to his 8-year-old son's room while his pregnant wife, right behind him, rushed to get their 3-year-old daughter.
"And as soon as I came out of my room I bumped into somebody inside of my house," the victim said. "As soon as I bumped into him I heard him say...he turned and kind of ran out. That's when I saw this guy reaching for his gun and I just jumped to the bathroom door and he just started shooting at us."
Firing slowly and deliberately in the dark, following their voices. His wife, trying to make it to cover, was shot in the head while holding their little girl's hand.
"We know that the suspect is a Hispanic male, he's between 20 and 25 years of age, 150 lbs., short, dark hair, light mustache -- possibly a goatee at the time," Phoenix Police Sgt. Darren Burch said. "But what's significant is he had a tattoo on the left side of his neck with block lettering. We don't know the letters were but they were block-style lettering."
Burch said the victims did not know the suspect and are not sure if it was a case of mistaken location by the suspect.
"We have no idea why he selected this home," Burch said.
The mother and the baby survived but the family, still terrified, immediately moved to another part of town. The victim said his son is now afraid of everything and won't even go into a dark room and he can't stop reliving that terrible morning.
"I still have bad dreams," he said.

No arms, no legs, no worries
Wednesday, 6th November 2013
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for G-d to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.
The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "G-d, how could you do this to me!" he cried. Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. But we shouldn't lose heart, because G-d is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground--it just may be a smoke signal that summons.

The four species
Monday, 16th September 2013
The 4 species represent the different types of Jewish people:
The Esrog (citrus) has a good taste and a good fragrance. It represents a person with both wisdom (Torah learning) and good deeds.
The Hadas (myrtle) has a good fragrance, but is inedible. It represents a person who has good deeds, but lacks wisdom.
The Lulav (date palm) is edible, but has no smell. This represents the person with wisdom, but without good deeds.
The Aravah (willow) has neither taste nor smell. It represents a person with neither good deeds nor Torah learning.
This comes to teach that in order for the Jewish people to be as Holy and as Great as we can be, we all need to be together, whether you are a talmid chochum (scholar), a sinner, or in the middle ground, succos is a time where we can all plug together and enjoy the festival.

Shortcut Keys?
Windows has a neat shortcut feature of allowing you to press "windows button" + "a number" to open a pinned program. Maybe bins could implement a sub-shortcut feature? like maybe holding "windows" + a number or letter corresponding to the bins group, then pressing another button corresponding to a program within that bins group. Or maybe some other shortcut feature.
Can you make each item in a bin be accessible by hotkey? I usually hotkey my first 10 items on the taskbar (Win+Number), but now that some of those are binned, I can access them by hotkey unless they are the primary bin item.
I know there was something written to this effect below and the developer said it wasn't quite in scope, but I think adding the Windows + Number key functions into the software would be helpful. Currently, when you hit Windows + Number, it will use the primary icon as the item to start. Can Bins possibly allow for a Win + Number / Number? So for example - if my first icon was both Chrome and Firefox, hitting Win + 1 then Win + 1 would start Chrome / Win +1 then Win +2 would start Firefox.
I frequently use hot keys to open the programs pinned to the taskbar, i.e. "windows button + 1" opens the first program. Currently this only opens the primary icon in a bin. How about adding an option so one could open the others with hot keys as well? For instance "windows + 1 + 2" opens icon 2 in bin 1...
Good news! This feature has been added to Bins for its next update. WinKey+# will now show the Bin for an application if it has one, and allow for chords (WinKey+#WinKey+# functionality should be uneffected.

Thanks for the quick update. Will you please let us know when the next planned release is? I'd love to use this if the hotkey stuff works better
tommck commented
Seriously, I just bought this at the recommendation of Scott Hanselmann and it's completely useless to me because I don't use the mouse often. It *really* needs to have shortcut key support..
ezuk commented
Strongly agree with this one. Hotkeys are sorely lacking in Bins right now. (I'm reviewing it for a software website and this is one of its few shortcomings).
Ty T commented
Forgot to mention how it should work: Basically hitting Win+Num would pop up the bin window instead of starting the primary bin app. Then after the bin window comes up, you just enter the number corresponding to your desired apps location. So from left, they would be numbered 1,2,3, etc...
I saw someone mention grids though, so not sure how you do the numbering there. Maybe have it by default start from top left then horizontally across then down to the next row. Or have it user configurable.
Might be annoying to hit an extra key if you really want the primary bin app to be launched most of the time. So maybe have another key in conjunction with the Win key to launch the primary right away (Win+CTRL+Num or something).
Greg commented
I vote for this too. Suggested implementation:
* Hit Win+1: open first app in first bin.
* Hit a chord Win+1+1 (hold win then click 1 two times): open second app in first bin.

"Cottage is exactly as presented online. It was perfect for our stay. We will be back!"Guest: Kimberly P. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 11, 2015View listing
"Our family lives just over the bridge in Fort Myers and we were looking for a last minute rental and thought of Sanibel or Captiva. We needed to bring our little Yorkie Poo as it was so last minute. We found this unit and emailed with the owners and found we had NY in common! That was the beginning of a wonderful Thanksgiving week on the beach. The condo has everything one would need, VERY clean, even had extras for the beach like chairs and toys. We enjoyed being right on the beach, the heated pool, and the general location. We biked every day and were within great restaurants, coffee shop, light house, etc. The last part of the week was chilly but being right on the beach made it perfect - we could go walk and come back for some warm beverages then go back out again without any hassles of walking far or having parking issues. We came home with pails and pails of shells!! The owners were quick to reply to any of our questions as well as setting up payment in such a short amount of time. The check in/out was seamless and the management company was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We also appreciated the security at the complex. They were out and about every day/night. We look forward to renting this unit again!!"Guest: Jennifer B. Date of Stay: November 2014 Review Submitted: December 4, 2014View listing
"Excellent property in a fantastic Captiva location. Great accommodations and within walking distance to beach, bay, restaurants, and shops. Highly recommend."Guest: MReed Date of Stay: November 2014 Review Submitted: December 2, 2014View listing
"This condo is 100% as described. I would highly recommend. Owners are very nice ( even though we have never met). It seems like we have know them forever. Kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and gadgets galore. Washer and dryer really come in handy. Pool very clean. This is the first time we have been to Sanibel and will not be the last. There was lots of storage in this unit. The lanai is very relaxing to have any meals or just to enjoy a glass of wine. We went for a relaxing get away and that is exactly what we got. Thumbs up for this rental. Can not wait to return."Guest: Karen Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 21, 2015View listing
Sanibel Island Travel Tips
Just west of Fort Myers you'll find lovely Sanibel Island, known for its beautiful sunsets, welcoming beaches, outdoor spaces and peaceful tranquility.
Whether you're taking a family vacation for spring break, planning a romantic trip for two or craving an escape from the cold with friends, this Floridian island offers a great place to relax, collect seashells and explore the 12 miles of shores. Because of it's location and geographic orientation, it's acts like a scoop, gathering seashells onto its beaches, making Sanibel Island an excellent place to hunt for these unique treasures.
In addition to exciting outdoor attractions, the island offers a plethora of dining options, from laid-back beach eateries to restaurants specializing in, of course, seafood, to upscale spots for a nice night out. And when you're ready to hit the water, spend an afternoon boating or fishing to truly experience living like a local.
Things to Do on Sanibel Island
- Sanibel Island Lighthouse: One of the coolest places to check out during your trip is the Sanibel Island Lighthouse, which has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1974. You'll find it situated on the eastern part of the island, and it was built to mark the entrance to San Carlos for ships coming into the port of Punta Rassa. While the lighthouse itself isn't open to the public, the grounds are and it's definitely worth the trip to see the keeper's quarters, catch dinner at the fishing pier or take advantage of the beach access. The lighthouse also makes for great photographs, so don't forget your camera!
- Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum: Sanibel Island is known as the spot to hunt for seashells, so a trip to the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum is a must during your getaway. The museum is named after two pioneer families that lived on the island and features the most comprehensive collection of shells in the U.S. Inside you'll see a variety of shells and mollusks, learn about the history of the area and their scientific and artistic importance. Some of the museum's exhibits include Early Sanibel Shell Collectors; Florida Fossil Shells,; Mollusks, Medicine, and Man and The Scallop, Queen of Conchology, among others.
- J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge: Animals lovers won't be disappointed with a visit the J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, which was named for Jay Norwood Darling, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and environmentalist. The refuge is home to more than 200 species of birds, more than 50 types of reptiles and 32 different kinds of mammals. If you're hoping to fit in some bird watching, the refuge is an exceptional spot to do so, or you can hit the paths for a bike ride or hike. If you want to paddle a canoe down a winding river path or take a four-mile scenic drive to see all of the natural beauty, like cabbage and sabal palms, red mangrove and a variety of other native plants.
- Sanibel Historical Museum and Village: You'll be transported back in time as you explore a collection of late 19th and early 20th century buildings, including Bailey's General Store, Miss Charlotta's Tea Room, Clarence Rutland's home, the 1926 post office, the island's original schoolhouse and more. Inside, all the buildings are outfitted with items from the early 1900s, and as you wander through the village, you'll see a pioneer garden, antique Model T truck and an old packinghouse replica complete with farm equipment.
Dining on Sanibel Island
