"He worked well," said trainer
Kiaran McLaughlin. "I had him galloping out in 1:01 and 4/5. Officially I think
they said 1:02 and 1/5, but he went great and all systems are go. Saturday is
normally the day we work, but last week we worked Thursday because of weather
and there's chance of rain again today. The track had some moisture in it, but
he handled it well."
The work was Alpha's second since
winning the Grade 2 Jim Dandy at the Spa on July 28. Last week, the Bernardini
colt breezed four furlongs in 48.33 over the main track for the 1 ¼-mile Travers
on August 25. Though Alpha's major preparations are now complete, McLaughlin
said he is unlikely to focus much on the rest of the field.
"I paid attention to Paynter not
showing up, that was important for us," McLaughlin said with a smile.
"Otherwise, I know the horses that are coming, looks like an eight- to 10-horse
field and we just have to wait and see how we draw. We're doing well and we'll
get there ourselves. I don't worry too much about everybody else."
Expected for the Travers in
addition to Alpha are Atigun, Five Sixteen, Hansen, Liaison, Neck ?n Neck, Nonios, Stealcase, Street Life and possibly Fast Falcon. NYRA Stakes Coordinator
Andrew Byrnes said Friday that previously expected European invader Cogito would skip the race.

Wonderfully restored and historic. Was here for our daughters graduation. The ceiling painting is quite amazing
We entered here more or less accidentially seeing that the cupola is open. It started with a very friendly stuff at the counter who was keen to give information about the place followed by an exciting building. The high light was the view from the cupoly which is especially close to sunset absolutely great
What a wonderful evening spent listening to beautiful classical music. The only slight complaint would be that some of the seating can be a bit uncomfortable however what a beautiful venue.
Beautiful Theatre with wonderfully preserved interior. However, uncomfortable during graduation ceremony (sitting over an hour on those piews hurts!). Was a once in a lifetime experience :)
For those who've studied in Oxford the Sheldonian might get relegated to 'that place where you get hit on the head with a book' but the Wren architecture (particularly the ceiling) is more than worth a visit in itself, and whilst the acoustics aren't anything to write home about there's something special about listening to concerts here. Seats are not...
Marvellous building designed by Christopher Wren which is used by Oxford University for graduations. Recently restored to its original period colour scheme it is an imposing edifice. You can climb up to the cupola and get great views over the city centre, but not as good as the ones from the nearby University Church of St Mary.
Christopher Wren inspired - gorgeous ceiling - if you are up in the gallery - bum numbing seating - Just been through another couple of hour of Latin - but it is an experience never to forget
Watching my niece get her PhD in Harry Potter land. Such a lot of Latin! The heart of establishment privilege. What's not to like?!
Beautiful exterior and interior, brimming with history - the traditional site for University graduation ceremonies.
The interior, oval shaped had tiered seating above the central seating area. With the lovely, painted ceiling, organ and fine, historic architectural features this provides the perfect setting for the traditional ceremony.
We went to listen to a friend sing with her company. Ticket sellers are friendly and knowledgeable and ushers super helpful and fun. We sat way up on the wooden bleachers so it was hot but it is a great place to appreciate how beautifully the sound carries.

Exposing the tactics and language of the left
The Democratic Party are masters of deception and illusion. When something sounds too good to be true it usually is. That is how the modern day Democratic Party operates. The left is very adept at hiding their true intentions by misnaming legislation. They can take an unpopular bill and soften its image by giving it a more appealing and inviting name. It is the equivalent of wrapping a piece of coal in a fancy box and putting a bow on top of it.
Here are a few examples of deceptive pieces of legislation:
The American Tax Payer's Relief Act, also known as the Fiscal Cliff bill does not provide any real tax relief. The way this bill is named one would think it provides tax relief to all Americans. It does not. This bill actually raises taxes on the middle class and adds four trillion dollars to our already 16 trillion dollar deficit. Moreover, it is filled with pet projects and paybacks to people who helped Barack Obama get reelected. This bill does not address the nation's biggest problem which is spending. For more on this bill please see this article: http://www.examiner.com/article/house-republicans-cave-on-spending-cuts-and-embrace-higher-taxes
The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare makes you think that health care will become more affordable. Unfortunately for the American people that is not the case. In fact, most experts agree that not only does it raise health care costs but it strips away competition and will ultimately lead to a one payer system which was always its original intent. If that wasn't enough it has had a negative effect on the economy by making it harder for small businesses to succeed due to the mandates, regulations, and new taxes. For an in-depth look at how Omamacare effects small businesses please see this article: http://www.examiner.com/article/obamacare-is-bad-for-business-and-bad-for-your-health
The Employee Free Choice Act, also known as Card Check leads one to believe that employees will be given more choices. Once again, the devil is in the details. This bill actually would restrict a worker's right to choose whether or not they want to join a union. Right now if a company and its employees want to unionize it is voted on by secret ballot. This bill would eliminate a worker's right to vote in secrecy. By removing the secret ballot process you invite undue pressure from outside groups and union representatives. A more appropriate name for this piece of legislation would be the forced unionization act. For more on Card Check please see this article: http://www.examiner.com/article/amnesty-and-the-employees-free-choice-act-on-obama-s-wishlist-second-term
The Respect for Marriage Act once again sounds like it would be respectful to traditional marriage however it is anything but. This bill would completely repeal The Defense of Marriage Act in its entirety. The Defense of Marriage Act states in no uncertain terms the definition of marriage as a "union between one man and one woman." The Respect for Marriage Act not only changes the definition of marriage, but it also voids other states legislative actions in regards to protecting traditional marriage. It should be named the disrespect for traditional marriage act instead. For more on why The Defense of Marriage Act must never be repealed please see this article: http://www.examiner.com/article/why-the-defense-of-marriage-act-should-never-be-repealed
These are just a few examples of how the left uses deceptive bill naming to trick the American people. We need to expose this trickery and make sure people are aware of how they operate.
The Democratic Party has remained in power not because of their good ideas or that they are the better choice for America; they have remained in power because they present bad ideas in a good light. They are also much better than Republicans when it comes to political warfare. They are masters at vilifying Republicans as evil, out of touch, and uncaring. They have sucessfully launched a disinformation campaign and convinced enough Americans that they are the party of the working class. The left goes around telling Americans that Republicans want to restrict individual freedoms while they force you to pay for health insurance and restrict your health care choices. They sold Americans on taxing the rich while simultaneously raising taxes on the middle class.
The Democratic Party survives and retains their power by using scare tactics and made up crises. They are not concerned with the middle class; they are only concerned with winning their votes. They want an uninformed electorate full of yes we can zombies. The more we allow the left to operate in this capacity the harder it will become to defeat them and save the country. They have become harder to expose due to a blatant and dangerously biased media at their side. It is up to us the freedom loving people of this great nation to find a way around the biased media and launch a successful counter attack.
Sometimes if you try to reason with a bully you just get punched in the nose. It is time we start hitting back. The time for the moral high ground is over. We have been trying that approach for years and look where it has gotten us. You can't go to a gunfight with a switchblade and expect to win. We need to become more verbally brave and aggressive and never apologize for our beliefs.
When we allow the Democratic Party to paint Republicans as racist because we disagree with Barack Obama than we lose. When we allow the Democratic Party to paint us as extremists because we care about every human life and they don't than we lose. When we allow the Democratic Party to paint us as uncaring because we would rather create jobs than dependents than we lose. It's as though we allow the left to hit us over the head with a sledgehammer and instead of making them stop we ask for a rubber mallet so it doesn't hurt as much?
Politics is a contact sport. If we are to defeat the left's disinformation campaign we need to change our tactics. We have got to lose the label of compassionate conservatives and start acting like combative warriors. How do you stop a bully from hitting you? You punch him back harder.

Toenails Measure Toxic Exposure to Hexavalent Chromium in New Jersey By Researchers
By Staff Writer | March 24, 2013 04:50 PM EDT
The residents in a New Jersey town will be asked for their toenail clippings to researchers that are looking to check if a nearby Superfund site has exposed them to toxins.
ABC reports that hexavalent chromium, a metal used in industrial production described by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a "well-established carcinogen" has been spreading under the town of Garfield, New Jersey.
Like Us on Facebook
Scientists and New York University are trying to determine the level of exposure for the residents as the deposits of hexavalent chromium have been sitting under Garfield for the past three decades. There are about 600 structures and 3,600 residents at risk.
The Environmental Protection Agency will begin drilling on the spill site to determine the amount of chromium that has accumulated under the town, and will attempt to remove contaminated soil and other materials.
Researchers are collecting the toenail from the city's residents to measure the traces of chromium.
Judith Zelikoff, a professor of environmental medicine at New York University, said scientists need residents' toenails because of their slow growth, making it feasible to find out how much chromium accumulated inside the human body over the past 18 months.
"Our major goal is to try to relieve their fears," Zelikoff told the news agency. "With the economy, they can't sell their homes. They don't know if they got exposed."
"We're trying to find out the extent of the plume," said Rich Puvogel, a project manager with the EPA.
"A hierarchy of controls, including elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and the use of personal protective equipment, should be followed to control workplace exposures," CDC says.

Vince Carter wants to re-sign with Mavericks, thinks he's earned it (he has)
Mar 29, 2014, 6:30 PM EDT
Vince Carter has been a real value for Dallas this season — 12.1 points a game shooting 39.3 percent from three, playing more than 24 minutes a game and all for $3.2 million.
At age 37 he looks like a guy who has a couple more years of solid basketball in him.
He also will be a free agent this summer and will have options, contenders will come calling if he wants to chase a ring. However, he told the Dallas Morning News he wants to stay with the Mavericks and win with them.
"My fingers are crossed," he said. "Next year might be even better. We can attract some more people, more talent. Now I know my role, and I know the system, it's second nature to me now. I know the city very well. I'm stepping out, going to SMU games and getting out and about. I'm very comfortable here.
"I like the guys. I like the nucleus we have here. With my role and the way I play and the way I go about things, it really helps guys here. And they like that. Hopefully, that's enough so that they can still have trust in me enough to play significant minutes and help the other guys out."
It' s hard to predict what the Mavericks will do this summer, Mark Cuban wants to go big game hunting for another star but it's a slim market (unless Miami breaks up, which is highly unlikely at best).
Another year or two of Carter at a fair price would seem a good deal for both sides.

Bring him back to Toronto. He is still a legend in Canada and the reason there are so many good players are coming out of the city (Wiggins, Ennis, Thompson, Bennett….well maybe the jury is out on that last one but you get my point). Basketball blew up north of the border thanks to Vince.

Utah swim schools teach lifesaving skills to babies as young as 4 months
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
MIDVALE — Ripley Nicholson splashed her hands in the water and then leaned her head back, as her swim instructor guided her to a float and then let go.
"One, two, three, four," instructor Erin O'Connor counted in a Midvale pool before grabbing the 18-month-old.
O'Connor teaches Infant Swimming Resource lessons designed to teach children from 6 months to 6 years old how to survive if they find themselves alone in the water. The method has grown in popularity since a YouTube video showing a toddler survival floating for several minutes went viral.
Ripley is one of 12 children O'Connor teaches privately five days a week in 10-minute sessions. Stickers, a dip in the hot tub, snuggles, hugs and praise are all used to reward children for their hard work.
On this day, Ripley sported a ruffle-bottomed, white-flowered baby blue swim bottom and a temporary seal tattoo on her belly.
"This is my first child, yes, and I'd like to keep her," quipped Elizabeth Nicholson, Ripley's mother. "Enjoying the water is good, but not dying is better."
Nicholson admits she and her husband are being "ultra vigilant" to make sure their daughter has a good experience. They have been happy with O'Connor, who they say is "intuitive" and can tell when Ripley "has had too much," adjusting the speed of the lessons accordingly.
"It's really nice to see (children) going from completely unskilled and not sure what to do in the water to being able to save themselves if they should find the water by themselves," O'Connor said.
Drowning is the second-most common cause of death for children between the ages of 1 and 4 in the United States, next to birth defects, and second behind motor vehicle accidents between 1999 and 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As an emergency room doctor, Nicholson has seen the danger water poses for small children and wants to protect Ripley from harm.
"They're crafty. They can get away from you really quickly, and even the most vigilant parent can lose track of their child in an instant," she said. "A small child can drown in very little water. They don't need to be in the deep end of a pool. It can be just above their head, or if they're even younger and can't walk, it can be in only several inches of water."
Sue Mackie, executive director of the United States Swim School Association, said the Infant Swimming Resource method is a "totally different method of teaching" from those used in most schools, and she cautions that some children could develop "psychological issues" if they are pushed to learn skills they are not ready to learn.
Because every child is different, some will thrive in the infant swimming program while others may not, Mackie said. Parents should figure out the goals they have for their child's lessons and be open to finding instructors that fit their child's temperament and needs.
"If there's something that doesn't feel right or doesn't feel like the way you want your child taught, then you maybe should look at something else," Mackie said.
Liz Walker, a former Infant Swimming Resource instructor, began her own school in 1989 after teaching ISR for six years, becoming a master instructor and training other instructors in the method.
Walker said some parents would come to her with concerns that their children were waking up in the middle of the night or throwing up on the way to the pool.

Microwave hyperthermia treatment has been widely used in medical cancer therapy. However, in most situations, because of uncertain effect prediction, the operations by doctors usually depend on their experiences, which would cause unnecessary damages to normal tissues or incomplete cancer necrosis. In this work, an approach of combining electromagnetic fields and thermal distribution computation with FDTD method is firstly introduced; the effects on the thermal distribution of different electrical and biological parameters have been considered and discussed. Finally, some vitro animal tissue experiments have been taken to validate the numerical analysis.

Potential African leaders of the future given a helping hand
Hilary Wilce reports on Edinburgh Business School's ambitious outreach programme
Thursday 07 October 2010
This year's successful South African World Cup gave the world a new view of a continent that has long been seen as a black hole for business enterprise and economic development. And not before time. Many African countries are now enjoying average growth rates of more than 5 per cent. The mobile phone is revolutionising banking and communications, new investors are coming forward, millions more children are in school, and in most countries poverty rates are declining steadily.
But burgeoning economies desperately need well-trained leaders to shape and guide them, and higher-level business education opportunities can be hard for aspirant Africans to find and fund.
Step in Edinburgh Business School, at Heriot-Watt University, which has long had links with Africa and which this autumn launched what it claims is the largest scholarship programme offered by a UK university in Africa. Over the next five years, 250 people will receive full scholarships to study for a distance-learning MBA. Thirteen students have completed their first module and a further 25 have recently started. Eventually, the school expects about 50 students a year to be in its programme.
Chipo Shonhiwa, 38, from Zimbabwe, a renewable energy research scientist at the Scientific and Industrial Research and Development Centre in Harare, intends to use her qualification to start an energy services company, making "cost-effective solar water heaters and installing biodigesters". She says: "I want to reduce the burden that women and girls face in collecting firewood for heating and cooking purposes. This would also greatly reduce indoor air pollution that is occurring now from the use of traditional biomass fuel – wood, crop and animal residue. Water heaters could also be used in towns and cities to reduce dependence on the national grid electricity."
Shonhiwa works full-time and goes home to look after her two children before turning to her studies for the evening. She works from hard copies of material sent from Edinburgh and uses the internet at work for online research and discussions with fellow students. As a veteran of long-distance study – she has done postgraduate courses online run by the Lund University in Sweden – she knows how to balance work, family and studying. But she says: "I feel grateful for my fees being paid, since it was not going to be possible to do these studies without a scholarship."
Martha Sambani, 33, from Malawi, who works as an administrative officer at the University of Malawi, plans to use her qualification to help guide the university's transition from state to commercial funding. "Our university lacks proper administrative and financial management skills, due to lack of qualified personnel. I want to see a change in terms of university financial performance and accountability, and this will be my greatest and first assignment to accomplish as soon as I qualify."
Her job and helping to look after her seven siblings make studying a challenge. "I work eight hours a day and go to church on Saturday, so I work Sunday, and at nights I get up at 2am and study until 5am, but in our workplace they are encouraging us to have an MBA, even though the government has no money to support us, so it is wonderful to have the fees paid. And this qualification is comprehensive. It is different from the MBA offered here in Malawi, and eye-opening. I know I will get a promotion because of this, so although it can be difficult to study, it is worth it."
Sambani is among a number of women scholarship winners who have been selected for the Graça Machel Mentoring Programme, devised by the charitable Canon Collins Trust, on the request of Graça Machel, the wife of Nelson Mandela, who has long championed women's education and advancement in Africa. The programme supports women who have received scholarships from a variety of institutions by allocating them mentors to help them make the most of their opportunities for themselves and their communities.
"By providing access to distance-learning MBAs, Edinburgh Business School is contributing to the development of entrepreneurialism at local level, which is vital to the economic health of our continent," says Machel. "As part of a regional network of women leaders, the scholars will be supported and mentored throughout their careers, enabling them to ensure the voice of rural women is heard and heeded at the highest levels of government, business, universities and NGOs."
Edinburgh Business School launched its programmes in Africa 20 years ago and ran a centre in Johannesburg until legislative changes made it impossible for foreign institutions to teach in the country. "We have great experience in, and knowledge of, Africa," says Alick Kitchin, the school's business development director, who says there are 1,200 alumni across Africa who have studied at the business school and there are 2,000 active students in Africa. The school works with Canon Collins Trust, he says, to vet candidates "so we know people have the ability to cope and are going to use their MBA for a good purpose". The students are charged a small but significant amount to take their exams, "because if we are setting up an exam centre in some remote part of Africa, we need to be sure people are going to turn up."
The first group of students has come mainly from countries in southern and eastern Africa, but now students are coming from other parts of the continent, and the scheme covers all of sub-Saharan Africa.

Aw, yet another girl who got my dream of riding the ferris wheel with the perfect guy. And how ironic that right as I'm reading this my crush is probably riding the ferris wheel at our town carnival with the girl he likes (not me).
Wow sorry...I guess I'm in a pretty bad mood.
I'm happy for you though, he sounds like such a great guy!!<3

Hotel Atlantica Portobello Royal
There's certainly no shortage of pools at this beachside hotel – it's got 14 of them.
This hotel feels like a Mediterranean village. Low-rise, terracotta buildings surround an amazing 13 pools. And restaurant-wise, there's everything from a Greek taverna to an elegant Asian restaurant.
You're a stone's throw from the sandy beach, which has views to neighbouring Nissyros. And it's a 5-minute drive to Kardamena's restaurants and shops – the courtesy bus will take you there.

Not deserving of 5 star status.
Upon a late arrival to the hotel 1am, (1hr 30 mins late) due to a very disorganised airport terminal and baggage system, the worst I have encountered. The hotel had only one person on the desk to book everyone in. We were not greeted in any manner expected from a 5 star hotel. No drinks available. No food available. No apology, just a joke made when people expressed their disappointment. To add to insult, the bags never arrived at our room after a long wait. Went and collected them myself at 2 am. There was no laundry service available. Getting the use of an iron was not always possible. Had to be booked a day or so in advance. TV was nearly all German. Only news in English. The restaurant labelled allergens in foods but on a few occasions got this wrong and caused me to have a bad stomach. Coeliacs beware! Overall the hotel is beautiful, clean and staff were generally polite. My dissapointment is aimed at management and the standard of care and service. Not deserving of 5 star status. C. BatesMore

Fantastisk holliday
We just arrived home after spending 14 days at this hotel. We had a very Nice holliday. Food, drinks, icecream,weather,etc. Was great. The personal Was very helpfull and Nice, and nothing Was to much trouble. Our son loved to play darts with gean lucka and he Was very Nice and always had time for a Nice talk. In the italian reataurant We especially liked yannis, he Was very sevice minded, and it Was very Nice that he small talked to us. In the main restaurant they had a very Nice waiter Stavroula. She Was very serviceminded, helpfull and always had a smile on her face. But all personal Was great from the cleening lady to the reception, so you Can not mention anything bad about anybody and they all did a great job. If you should mention anything negative, then i Think that there Was to many children in the lobby bar. They were running around, shouting etc. So Maybe there should be a ageminumum in the lobbybar,because it Was a bit to much with all the screaming children when you Would like to have a Nice evening drink. This is not he hotels fault that parrents bring their Young children to the bar, but Maybe it Would help to have "only adults" areas in the hotel. And Maybe it Would be Nice with wifi in the Room,so that you Could Relax with a movie or ipad in the evening, because there were no tv programs in the tv that We Understood. But We had a very Nice time and Would return again.More

Lovely holiday
An extremely clean hotel within a large complex. Food was great. The Greek restaurant at lunchtime was amazing. Staff were very cheerful, friendly, kind and helpful. Our room overlooked the pool and the sea at the bottom of the complex. There was only a few people around the pool each day.There was not much in the way of entertainment at night but this isn't an important part of a holiday for us, we were quite happy sitting chatting and having a quiet drink in the Lobby Bar. Some adults only areas would be of a benefit to this hotel. There was a lot of very young children there during our stay and we found ourselves listening to babies crying/toddlers banging cutlery at most of our meal times. Other than that, a very nice holiday overall at a very reasonable price.More
Outstanding service, a few niggles
We have just returned from a lovely stay with our two young children (6 and 4) and their grandparents. We took a family room (two single beds and a large double bed with a screen between them) and my wife's parents took a double room with a nice sea view. First of all, you would not have had any idea that there is an economic crisis in Greece - the hotel was well supplied, clean and everything functioning as it should. I can also confirm others' reports that there were no signs of economic migrants in or near the hotel. We made a trip to Kardamena (I recommend "Pelagos" for lunch) and saw no signs of migrants there either. The staff were outstanding - incredibly friendly, helpful, welcoming and professional. In my view they are the best thing about the hotel. I really could not fault them at all. They work very hard to ensure an enjoyable stay for all their guests. The beach is very close, very safe for kids and not overcrowded (though if you want empty beaches you should walk a little way along the coast). The beach bar is very handy and has a decent range of freshly made sandwich options. Personally I didn't think the Mediterranean or Greek lunchtime restaurants were worth it but they were always busy so others clearly did! For dinner we liked the Italian best of all (book first thing the morning before if you want to be sure of getting a table!) as the simple range of food suited us all and the location is great for a peaceful evening meal. We didn't try the Asian as we felt our kids wouldn't have liked the set menus but, again, it seemed pretty busy every night. You don't have to book for the main restaurant and that has a lot of buffet food options - our kids loved going up to choose their meals, especially the many puddings! Personally we thought the foods in the main restaurant was a bit hit and miss - never unpleasant but occasionally just a bit uninspiring. This is a minor niggle though - having stayed in other all-inclusive places previously roa was definitely a cut above. My main gripe was that people would get up early to reserve sun loungers by the pool side (leaving towels and other items on them) and then disappear for hours without using them. The hotel doesn't allow this and there are some signs up to this effect but the guests just ignore them. In the end we started moving people's belongings if they hadn't used the loungers for hours because we felt it was unfair to other guests who could use them. Twice the original guests came back (eventually!) and were stroppy about this but both knew they were in the wrong. Their argument in each case was "everyone does it". We did talk to the hotel management about this and it was clear they felt there was nothing more they could do. I think they should amend their signs to say that guests are explicitly permitted to move belongings from unused loungers after an hour as I think this is the only thing that can put a stop to the annoying practice. Note we could always find loungers available on the beach - but our boys wanted to play in the pool instead most days! Altogether an excellent stay with just a couple of minor wrinkles to iron out.

Excellent hotel
We had a sea view apartment right at the bottom of the hotel site. The view was outstanding and we also had two pools to the front of our apartment and one to the side. Really spoilt for choice. The grounds and hotel were kept to a very high standard and the buffet meals were excellent with plenty of choice and daily specials. We booked the Greek restaurant on one of our days but this was only open at lunchtimes when we really did not want a full meal, tasty though it was. I feel these options could have been better utilised as an addition to the buffet lunch in the main restaurant especially for those of us staying on the lower part of the site or for those having a day on the beach. It was quite a trek to the main restaurant from the bottom of the site for those of us experiencing some mobility issues. Overall we could not fault this hotel, it is truly lovely but it is quite isolated unless you want to get on the bus to Kardamena or Kos town to experience the real Kos. If rest and relaxation are all that is required this hotel is perfect.More

- We go to the ring and Lilian Garcia introduces Booker T and we hear from the announcers that he has a big announcement. Booker comes to the ring and says we're going to kick the year off with a bang. Booker says RAW was epic but SmackDown can do it better and they won't take a back seat. He says RAW had Ziggler vs. Cena but tonight Antonio Cesaro will face Randy Orton. RAW delivered The Great One but after 10 years The Rock will be in this ring. We see a graphic as Booker says that the match between Del Rio and Big Show tonight will be Last Man Standing for the Title.
An angry Big Show comes down and gets in Booker's face and asks him if it's personal and yells at him off mic. Show gets a mic and says Booker has a personal vendetta against him. He says Booker wants the Latino fans in Miami to embrace Del Rio. Show says there are no Latino heroes and no Irish or Viper heroes will stop him. Show gets back in the ring and circles Booker and says it's a bad idea to gives these people a hero and he needs to change his mind. Show grabs Booker by the neck and backs him into the corner.
Del Rio's music hits and he runs down to the ring and hits Show with kicks to the leg and a dropkick. Del Rio hits an Enzuigiri and another dropkick to send Show out of the ring. Show lands on his feet and starts to go crazy and says he will destroy Del Rio. We get a 'Del Rio' chant fro the crowd. Del Rio backs up the ramp and his music plays as Show tells Booker this is all his fault. Ricardo Rodriguez comes out on the ramp to join Del Rio.
- We go to highlights of The Rock on SmackDown and they show a clip from September 13, 2001 with Shawn Stasiak.
- We will hear from CM Punk tonight as we see a graphic of him and Rock face to face with the words: PIPE BOMB!
- We go to the ring as Randy Orton's music hits and he is introduced to the ring. Antonio Cesaro makes his way down the ramp waving an American flag. We see and inset promo from Cesaro announcing his entry and victory in the Royal Rumble.
Randy Orton vs. Antonio Cesaro
They lock up and trade go-behinds. Orton hits a shoulderblock and Cesaro adjusts his neck. Cesaro hits European Uppercuts but Orton tosses him out of the ring and follows to the floor for a huge clothesline. We go to commercial.
Back to action as Cesaro has Orton in a headlock in the ring. Orton fights up but gets taken back down with a clothesline and Cesaro gets 2. Cesaro picks Orton up in a gut-wrench and slams Orton for another 2. Cesaro hits shots in the corner but the ref pulls him off. Orton moves in the corner and rolls Cesaro up for 2. Cesaro quickly hits a sit-down slam for 2. Orton starts a flurry and hits a powerslam. Orton comes at Cesaro but Cesaro throws him up in the air for his Mortal Kombat Fatality-like uppercut. Orton takes back control and hits his DDT in the ropes and coils-up. The Shield enters the ring and attacks Orton as the bell rings. Ambrose and Rollins lift Orton onto Reigns shoulders for a powerbomb. They stand over Orton as we go to break.
- A promo runs for the 20th Anniversary of RAW with another "Rock Concert" this Monday.

Balancing act: 100% Design's new look
Posted by Gavin Lucas, 22 February 2013, 13:07 Permalink Comments (4)
London's annual design trade event, 100% Design, is under new ownership and has commissioned a new identity. However, when studios Thomas.Matthews and also Form pitched similar concepts, owners Media 10 asked both teams to join forces…
"In our original presentation to the 100% team, both ourselves and Thomas.Matthews coincidentally showed a similar concept around the theme of balance," explains Form's Paula Benson. "Media Ten saw strengths in both our ideas asked us to collaborate on the project," she continues.
"Our role at Form has been to design and create the lead imagery/messaging for the marketing communications, which will then in turn feed into the work Thomas.Mathews are creating for the show itself."
With Thomas.Matthews working on various aspects of the enormous exhibition's design (last year's event, held at Earl's Court, saw over 25,000 visitors over four days), Form commissioned photographer Sara Morris and stylist Sandy Suffield to create the carefully balanced arrangements of objects that appear in the new posters for the event planned for September this year.
"We've created a set of bold images which capture the scale, variety and diversity of the show in a friendly but quirky way," says Benson of the work which was all shot in-camera. "Despite all the hard work and head-scratching to make the stacks work, the result is grand with a hint of cheekiness. We wanted to avoid cold, stark product shots so introduced a new colourful palette which is reflected in the photographs and which will be incorporated across the whole marketing and on-site expression."
The images created will appear in various aspects of the campaign in print, online and in printed event programmes. "Our approach to the copy and typography as to simplify everything to create a quietly confident message," Benson continues, "avoiding the long descriptive paragraphs and clumsy straplines often prevalent in event and exhibition promotion."
100% Design will take place at Earls Court in London from 18-21 September. More info at 100percentdesign.co.uk

The March issue of CR magazine celebrates 150 years of the London Underground. In it we introduce a new book by Mark Ovenden, which is the first study of all aspects of the tube's design evolution; we ask Harry Beck authority, Ken Garland, what he makes of a new tube map concept by Mark Noad; we investigate the enduring appeal of Edward Johnston's eponymous typeface; Michael Evamy reports on the design story of world-famous roundel; we look at the London Transport Museum's new exhibition of 150 key posters from its archive; we explore the rich history of platform art, and also the Underground's communications and advertising, past and present. Plus, we talk to London Transport Museum's head of trading about TfL's approach to brand licensing and merchandising. In Crit, Rick Poynor reviews Branding Terror, a book about terrorist logos, while Paul Belford looks at how a 1980 ad managed to do away with everything bar a product demo. Finally, Daniel Benneworth-Grey reflects on the merits on working home alone. Buy your copy here.

Instantly thought that these were a new poster campaign for IKEA. Lovely bright colours and some intricate looking sculpture work. Balancing those chairs on the blue poster would've been a nightmare.
Half tempted to make the trip down to London to see the show/exhibition. Are there more posters to come?
2013-02-22 18:50:27
It is amazing how someting as simple as stacking up some furniture can form such a beautiful work of art. Goes to show that you don't need to over complicate to achieve greatness.
It is going to be a breathtaking event for sure.
2013-02-25 12:34:55
Impressive pair of pieces. Fun little story as well to hear two individual companies come together and work as one.
2013-02-25 13:29:55
Nice article. Love the way that the posters embody 100% design - simply stunning visuals. The first agency did a great job and will be interesting to see how the baton gets carried forward by the second design agency with all the show collateral.
