Keeneland Roundup: Favorites Upset in Major Races
The Oct. 15 $436,000 Walmac International Alcibiades (gr. II) for juvenile fillies followed a storyline you'd expect from the new TV season, except it's all true. Lexington native Kenny McPeek, who with wife Sue welcomed their first child into the world six days earlier, trained She's a Devil Due to capture the 1 1/16-mile test at odds of 5-1. Of more concern, however, is the surgery Sue McPeek is scheduled to undergo Oct. 24 to remove a tumor from the inside of her mouth. Their daughter, Jennifer Lynne, was delivered by Caesarean section prematurely so that Sue could have the surgery. "This has been the most emotional week of my life," McPeek said. "Our daughter being born and me trying to keep the barn going. Lots of people have chipped in and deserve the credit for this, especially Sally Schu, my assistant. And my wife wouldn't miss this race. Everyone told her not to come but I was neutral. She'll be at the Breeders' Cup, too." She's a Devil Due alertly tracked Overbrook Farm's pacesetter Cash Deal up the backstretch, and when rider Mark Guidry tired of his tug of war with his filly, he sent her after the leader. "She was so pumped and aggressive today," Guidry noted. "I knew she'd be special. She's a sweetheart." She's a Devil Due easily ranged past Cash Deal, but Nasty Storm and Pat Day were coming quickly to her from the outside. However, the undefeated daughter of Devil His Due prevailed by a head in a stirring stretch run, setting off a raucous celebration that spilled from the winner's circle onto the turf course for the trophy presentation. Here, the TV plotline thickens. Owners Brian Griggs and Mike Goetz, who paid $30,000 for the Alcibiades queen by second-mortgaging their homes, work as assistant managers at the Toyota plant in nearby Georgetown, Ky., and it seemed most of the assembly line was assembled at the track to party down. She's a Devil Due returned $270,320 to her owners after getting the 1 1/16 miles in 1:44.86. "Her last race at Arlington was incredible," McPeek said. "She's been crying out for the two turns and today you saw why. This filly has a serious, serious will to win." The same kind of will that the racing world hopes carries the McPeeks through their trying time.Continued. . . .

Requiem for an Ugly Building
Why do we hate the architecture of our youth?
by Jack Neely
In early 2003, with no municipal authority at all, I proposed demolishing 10 conspicuous buildings. I made arguments that they were each dysfunctional or aesthetically problematic in one way or another. The article was called "Tear It Down!" On the cover we put a big color photograph of the No. 1 building on the list, a two-story glass-and-steel structure with undulating awnings at the corner of Kingston Pike and Concord Street. Judging by the response, it may have been the least-controversial cover image we've ever run. Everybody hated that building. Almost everybody.
The Inter-Agency Insurance Building was torn down late last month. Archer Furrow, the redoubtable real-estate firm headquartered in the handsome old house behind it, means to leave that space open, relandscaped with green. Most welcome that development.
Most. Knox Heritage's annual listing of the "Fragile 15," the city's most threatened historical structures, was released, perhaps coincidentally, at about the same time the backhoe started busting the building's glass. This time there's a new entry on the list, a generic one: "Mid-Century Modern Commercial and Residential Buildings, 1945-65." Preservationists say many are being lost before they can be properly appreciated.
To some admirers of modern architecture, the Inter-Agency Insurance Building, the former IBM building, almost half a century old, was valuable as one of the first unapologetically modernist buildings in town and, by some accounts, a good design.
Of course, even some of its defenders admit, it probably shouldn't have been built there in the first place. Building one building in front of another one is, at best, rude. It blocked an appealing historic house. It was also an urban-style building adrift in a neighborhood where no others were. Built flush with the sidewalk, it had doors on the sidewalk, but no obvious use for the sidewalk. Visitors used the parking lot in back.
Nothing ages as badly as modern architecture. When brick or stone gets stained with weather and age, the leachings of rotten leaves and avian excrement, it's called a "patina." When steel and glass and concrete get stained, it's just a mess. That building was sometimes a mess.
And we have to admit that modern architecture has some inherent challenges. It was probably the first form of architecture based not on its appeal to a mass audience but on academic principles. Maybe Tom Wolfe's wicked manifesto, From Bauhaus to Our House , which posited that modern architecture was a fraud perpetrated on the gullible, and which thousands of non-architects read with glee, wasn't quite fair. But if mere civilians have to be educated about a building's beauty, maybe there's a basic problem with the lesson.
And there's a broader question. When we ran that cover story three and a half years ago, it was hard not to notice that all the people who came to the defense of that building and a couple of other modernist buildings on the list were younger than me, and unborn when architects chose the style.
I'll go a little ways out on a limb here and say that most people over, say, 40, dislike modern architecture, specifically, the architecture of the 1940s through the 1970s. I'll go a little farther than that. People hate the architecture of their youth.
It doesn't make any obvious sense. Humans are a nostalgic race. We love the music of our youth, the TV shows, the cars. We just don't like the architecture. What was predominant at the time we were first aware of what architecture was is, for the most part, what we want to get rid of as adults.
Maybe I'm stretching a point, but anecdotes hint that it may be universal, pan-generational.
As a small child, with no one telling me to, I hated modern architecture; even at 11, an International Style building of glass and steel depressed and dispirited me, in the same way atonal music or fluorescent light and cigarette smoke in a windowless room did. That was modern, too.
It took a good deal of reading about architectural theory before I began to see the cold beauty of clean lines and reflective glass. Before I developed the most grudging tolerance for it.
Another generation's example: The art-deco style current in the '20s and '30s was reborn in the postmodern era and has been in hipster vogue ever since. My parents never had much use for it; to them, art deco is the very definition of tacky. But art deco was the style overwhelmingly in fashion when they were children.
Along the same lines, "neon" is to them code for cheap, tacky, commercial, overdeveloped. "Getting away from the neon," was what we did on a successful summer vacation. Neon is today a historic artifact, nearly vanished from the landscape. I know people who enthusiastically collect neon signs and host neon parties. It's popping back up in some trendy new restaurants. Its weird glow, once commercial noise made visible, is now warm and nostalgic.
Last year, when the 1904 Sprankle building was torn down, the battle lines were drawn along generational lines. The elderly, especially those born within 30 years of its construction, wanted to demolish it; younger folk, declaring it was a sound and handsome building, a five-story beaux-arts apartment building of the sort that still dominates much of Manhattan, and the last of its kind in Knoxville, wanted to buy it, fix it up and live in it. Grayer heads prevailed, led by a retiring bank president, and got their way. Another octogenarian told me he cheered, a year ago, when he saw it gone.
My grandparents, who were still older than that, didn't have much use for Victorian houses, which seemed to them pretentious, dark, cluttery. To them, any building worth saving was classical in style, preferably antebellum.
While most of us are doomed to idolize the pop music current when we were teenagers as superior to everything before and after, we prefer other architectures. Any other. Newer, sometimes, but especially older. Every generation's perception of what architecture should be is like a spotlight sweeping the architecture of previous generations.
Now there are younger folks, in their 20s and 30s, who love the architecture I hated as a child. Why? Is it because they don't remember the passion it took to overthrow it?
Then again. Maybe it's just that it was an ugly building.

I'm really not sure where Rosa Brooks of the Los Angeles Times gets her information, but her assertion that "the Israeli military offensive has more to do with politics than anything else" is not only wrong, but also probably an attempt to discredit the operation.
However, the politics of the day and the military aspects of war have gotten tangled up in an unhealthy way in the last 72 hours. Note the debate within the government concerning the proposal for a 48-hour cease-fire and the strange way in which Defense Minister Ehud Barak handled this matter. We've also seen the first signs of weakening public support for the war, and the first organized campaign against it.
Barak's rivals, mainly Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and her Kadima buddies, are trying to use his sloppiness for political gains. As the operation in Gaza has helped to boost Barak's (and Labor's) fortunes in the polls, Livni and company need all the help they can get. The party that was recently considered a political corpse is now alive and starting to kick. Kadima can't let this happen without kicking back.
In the 2006 Lebanon War, Livni called for diplomacy and an early cease-fire. Now, Livni is a hawks' hawk. When Barak, in the weeks before the war, was trying to renew the Hudna (cease-fire agreement), Livni called for action. She also opposed the French cease-fire initiative, and keeps hinting that toppling Hamas is what's really needed. Barak is careful not to aim for the sky. Suspecting that both of these leaders' positions have something to do with politics is far from scandalous: Livni needs to be the hawk in order to convince voters that she's no less tough than her male rivals, Barak needs to don the traditional tribal costume of the Labor leader and remind voters that he is from the peace camp.
But many Israelis are understandably upset about the mere mention of political considerations in a time of war. Unity and resolve can give way to shock and dismay, and the punditry is always there to fan the flames by redefining the word "politician" as one who sends our sons and daughters into the line of fire for the sake of election results.
The public outrage is both expected and overblown. In a democracy like Israel, politicians make war – and peace. And expecting politicians not to think about politics, a month or so before Election Day, is preposterous moralistic purism. Hopefully, Barak and Livni will make the most important decisions for the benefit of country — not party.
Barak and Livni are not uniquely opportunistic. Many of Israel's past leaders fought wars on the eve of elections, and all have thought of political consequences as they went to war.
Think about Menachem Begin and his decision to bomb the Iraqi nuclear reactor on the eve of the very tight 1981 election. Did he do it just to win the election? No, he didn't. Did he use it smartly for political benefit? Indeed he did.
Or take Shimon Peres's decision to launch the Grapes of Wrath operation in Lebanon on the eve of the 1996 election. Was this a justified military operation? Probably. Was Peres thinking about Election Day and the need to boost his image as a capable military leader? Probably. (The operation eventually backfired: many Arab Israelis, angry at Peres, refrained from voting and thus helped Binyamin Netanyahu win.)
Such opportunism has also been employed in matters of peace. When Ehud Barak went to negotiate with Yassir Arafat in Camp David, he was already planning ahead, asking some political advisors to prepare for election "in case the summit is successful." He was not necessarily going to Camp David in order to win elections, but he was definitely hoping to use success politically. When you ask a politician not to behave like a politician, be prepared for disappointed.

Toyota Announces Decision to Shut Down Fremont NUMMI Plant
August 27, 2009
In another blow to the local economy, Toyota's board has made the decision to shut down NUMMI, the car manufacturing plant in Fremont. Toyota has indicated that it will halt production at the facility in March of next year.
The plant employs about 4,000 employees. Factor in the multiplier effect of such a vast manufacturing facility, and the ramifications are pretty profound.
The news though shouldn't be that shocking. It really doesn't seem to make a lot of economic sense to manufacture much in Fremont, let alone vehicles. The cost of living, rising taxes, and wages here are just too significant to produce the type of products NUMMI was pushing out.
The facility is massive. It's roughly 5 million square feet set on some 350 acres! You could easily accommodate the Oakland A's, the San Jose Earthquakes, and the San Francisco 49ers and have room left over for a Tesla Motors Factory and a golf course.
Sad day for the employees, the city, and the local economy for sure.

We could see something we rarely see in court. Two trials. Two juries. Same time. Same courtroom. That's what the judge is considering in the cases again Megan Merkel and Mark Scerbo. They're accused of hitting and killing Fairport teacher Heather Boyum.
It has certainly happened before, but not recently. The lawyer for Merkel wants a separate trial for Merkel. The prosecution says she was an "accomplice" in the same "criminal transaction" with Scerbo in Boyum's death. The District Attorney's office wants them tried together.
The allegation is that Merkel and Scerbo were driving drunk (Merkel is charged with DWI, Scerbo with driving under the influence) on Route 250 in Perinton and playing a sort of high risk game of tag between her car and his motorcycle. Police say Scerbo hit Boyum who was riding her bicycle on the shoulder. Police say the impact sent her into Merkel's car. Merkel's attorney made a motion to separate the cases into two trials. He blames the whole crash on the other defendant -- Mark Scerbo.
"He set everything in motion, not Ms. Merkel. She was riding along, driving a car that belonged to a friend of hers within the speed limit, in a normal manner according to all the witnesses," attorney James Hinman said. "As a matter of fact there was another couple who encountered Mr. Scerbo earlier who were in no different situation that she was."
"Most of the evidence if not all of the evidence that we plan on producing for any trial would be the same for both cases so that would be one of the biggest reasons," Assistant District Attorney Ray Benitez said.
Benitrz calls it an economy decision: can the court justify having two separate trials when the evidence and the witnesses are virtually identical? Judge Doug Randall says he's going to wait to rule on the separate trial motion until we get closer to the trial date which is March 11.
Mark Scerbo's attorneys did not talk to News10NBC after the hearing.

MobileMe no longer available in Apple stores or online, as service prepares to go free.
MobileMe, Apple's paid-for cloud service, has been yanked from shelves in its retail stores and pulled from Cupertino's website, with only a free 60-day trial version available to punters. You can't buy it bundled with a new Mac either.
The move comes after a series of leaks about plans for a complete overhaul of the ailing service, with features including a digital locker service for storing music and movies. The upgraded MobileMe also promises to offer a personalised website for sharing video and info, including geotagged locations.
Apple's new North Carolina data centre has been pegged as the place where MobileMe details will be stashed. The company even said so during its AGM, held this week in California.
The new version of MobileMe could be mapped out at next week's iPad 2 event, alongside iOS 5. Word is that the service will be free, with the aim of countering Google's dominant raft of cloud services.
Have you just bought MobileMe? Annoyed that Apple has decided to the pull the plug on the service? Tell us now on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

DeLand, FL 32720
Babysitter charged with child neglect after toddler found near busy State Road 11
By Joe Crews
posted Apr 23, 2014 - 10:50:26am
When a boy about 3 or 4 years old was found wandering near State Road 11 north of DeLand one recent morning, it eventually led to the arrest of the boy's babysitter on child neglect charges.
The boy, whose name was redacted in a Sheriff's deputy's report and a charging document, was found the morning of April 14 wearing a shirt and underwear, but no pants or shoes. The man who found the boy told deputies he stayed with the child to keep him safe until they arrived.
A canvass of the area didn't reveal his family or where the child lived, so the boy was taken to Sheriff's district headquarters in DeLand, where the Department of Children and Families was notified.
Several hours later, Teresa Maldonado flagged down a deputy and reported the child missing. Maldonado, 39, had been taking care of the boy at her Robinhood Drive residence when she said the toddler slipped out the front door without her knowledge, Sheriff's deputy Brandon Goggin wrote in a report. Although Maldonado knew the boy had been gone for more than an hour, she "did not think to call his parents or the police."
Maldonado was taken to district headquarters, where she identified the toddler as her charge. Although she said she didn't normally watch him, his parents said Maldonado had taken care of him a number of times, according to a report by Sheriff's investigator Seth Amrhine.
The boy was returned to his parents.
Maldonado's timeline accounts didn't match those of the boy's parents or when the boy was found, Amrhine reported, and she didn't call 9-1-1 to report him missing, so Amrhine determined she should be charged with child neglect.

From Lynette Shute Waters
It has certainly been a pleasant spring around Creston this year.
After spending many hours at Green Valley Lake, I feel so blessed to enjoy the huge flocks of geese, ducks, snow geese and swans.
It was my first time to actually see flocks of snow geese and swans.
I'm glad there is enough water in the lake to attract the birds and that the Creston area is a friendly place for them to rest in.
Thank you DNR.

Instead of making risotto using arborio rice (or Carolina rice which we use in Greece), I used kritharaki (orzo) which is a tiny pasta, which looks like rice. In order to make this recipe you need some roasted butternut squash, which adds a sweetness to the pasta and of course Greek feta, which will balance the sweetness and make the dish creamy and delicious. I used roasted butternut squash which I had previously roasted and stored in the deep freezer and so the dish was made very quickly.
If you want some meat in your kritharotto, how about adding some spicy sausages? The method is exactly the same but start by sautéing the sausages first and then add all the remaining ingredients. I used Greek spicy sausages which added extra flavour to the kritharotto.
Kritharotto (orzo risotto) with Butternut Squash, (Sausages) and Feta, recipe by Ivy
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Serves: 6
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 Greek spicy sausages (optional), cut in small pieces
- 1 leek, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups roasted butternut squash
- 500 grams medium orzo
- 1 cup white wine
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- About 2 litres chicken stock (or 2 litres water with one bouillon)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped kafkalithres and fresh oregano (or parsley)
- 150 grams feta
- 1 tbsp butter or margarine
- If you do not have chicken stock, heat the water and dissolve the bouillon.
- In a large pot or heavy skillet heat the olive oil and sauté (the sausage and add) the leek and onion until translucent. Add the garlic and mix for a few seconds. Add the orzo and mix to absorb the oil, sauté for a minute or two and then add the wine.
- Season with salt and pepper and mix until the alcohol evaporates. When the wine is almost cooked away, start adding the stock a ladle at a time.
- Reduce heat to medium and keep adding stock and mixing until your risotto is nearly done.
- When adding the last stock, mix in the butternut squash and feta and mix until feta melts. Add kafkalithres and fresh oregano as well as butter or margarine and stir well to combine.
- Sprinkle with freshly grated black pepper and serve while hot.

Delicious and healthy!
What a lovely idea! Today I will be using up last slice of the wonderful rosted Butternut squash too which I made last weekend. My whole family found the butternut squash too sweet for their taste eaten plain, even sweeter than the hokaido. But i just loved it. So next time i will have to try making this recipe. bookmarked!
j'aime le coté sucré de la courge se doit être délicieux bravo

Nice point on the subdivisions. And yea, the native humans are on the rebound. We shouldn't forget that the reason bison were driven nearly to extinction isn't because us Europeans were eating them, but because we were slaughtering them in attempt to starve the Indians.
Here's an idea: If you earn over $110,000, you can either pay social security tax on everything you make, or don't collect social security after you're eligible.
Isn't it about time we stopped fashioning tax policy around the desires of the wealthy, and instead support the poor and the working class?
Our political and economic system is fractured beyond repair. Where is Robin Hood when you need him?
Good advice, and noble in that Schmidt isn't just being self-serving. If people spent as much time outdoors as they do in front of televisions and computers, this world would be a much better place.
Why, oh why has Oregon Live not shown us which athletes qualified for the state meet, nor what teams won the district meets?
Onyx-- Very true indeed. Sending raw logs overseas is economic suicide, and just as cutting tree farms on a 30-40 year rotation, this practice shows how our timber economy is based only on short-term profit, with no vision for long-term sustainable jobs or communities.
Every specie of conifer puts on 60-80 percent of its growth from age 40 to age 80. By cutting trees at age 30-40, we're wasting about a quarter of the forest's productivity. We all but eliminated old growth in a greedy binge, now we're producing low-quality timber with short growing cycles and the asinine practice of clearcutting.
Show us evidence that people who smoke marijuana are stupid, or that pot makes them stupid. You're living proof that the illogic and superstition of the puritanical age is still alive.
EEEeeeeeeeeeeK! It's the resurrection of Reefer Madness!!
This poll is invalid. It fails to provide an option to vote for banning only derogatory mascots like "Savages," or banning native american mascots in cases when the local tribe objects. Allowing only a 'yes' or 'no' answer to the question offered dismisses the intricacies of the issue.
This is a sociologically invalid poll.
bumper, if it's legalized, the illegals will be out of business. Folks will grow it themselves, or buy from locals they know. Why buy from some furriner you know nothing about?
redu, You are obviously so addled with prejudice and blinded by myth, it's a wonder you can think at all. And claim pot smokers are "not all there?"

Among the less positive aspects of religion is what most people refer to as "fear of god." That's a fancy way of saying we should fear death-- and impending judgment.
Among all the sins religion has contrived, suicide is one of the worst. Therein lies the root of the problem with accepting terminal illness: Many will perceive accepting death and refusing medicine to prolong life- entrenched in a hospital bed until the end- as a form of suicide in the eyes of god.
The taxing of our health care system to prolong life without purpose is a conundrum that will haunt us and exhaust us so long as we fear death.

Nice articulation of the often misunderstood intricacies of environmental litigation and EAJA, anon. But: "Greenies often are annoying, self-righteous and worse[?]"

Baron, first time I agree with you. Flights to Baltimore and Dulles are usually 30-50 percent cheaper than to National. But public transportation from those airports to downtown D.C. is easy and cheap.
This flight is nothing more than a convenience for legislators and lobbyists, and the O's assertion: "East Coast business travelers...can bring jobs and economic activity here," is a sweeping, empty cliche`. Eliminating one plane transfer from an airport 28 miles from another airport that already provides nonstop service is going to convince some nameless businessperson in a nameless industry decide to fly to Portland and start- what- a new wind farm?

The original form was a neuter root noun, as can be seen from Latin os and Avestan [script needed] (ast-). In the rest of the daughters, the noun has been transferred to various vocalic stems.
Medial -th- in Sanskrit अस्थि (ásthi) requires root of the form *HestH (the initial laryngeal is there to account for the canonical shape of Proto-Indo-European root). Latin reflex requires initial laryngeal to be *h₃, and Ancient Greek ὀστέον (ostéon) points to *h₁ as the root-final laryngeal.
Celtic forms require initial laryngeal to be #h₂-, so this noun is sometimes[1] reconstructed to have paradigm *h₂óst(h₁) ~ *h₂ést(h₁)s.

Current News
Willamette professor's crow research featured on PBS
We may not be able to tell one black crow from another, but they can certainly distinguish us — Willamette University Biology Professor David Craig's research has shown that crows recognize and remember human faces.
The research Craig did with several colleagues, including John Marzluff at the University of Washington, is the subject of this week's "Nature" show on PBS. "A Murder of Crows" features the researchers' project using Halloween masks to prove that crows recognize faces.
The show airs this Sunday, Oct. 24, at 8 p.m. Craig wears a mask through much of the show, but keep an eye out for his black fleece jacket with the Willamette logo. Craig posted photos from the video shoot on Flickr.
Several of Craig's students have worked with him on the crow research, including Kaeli Swift '09, who did her own related research for her thesis.
To learn more about their crow findings, check out Craig at an upcoming Science Pub event on Nov. 9 at 6:30 p.m. at Brown's Towne Lounge in Salem.

Junior Ashton Green is one of three Musketeers to have scored a goal for XU this season
Sept. 1, 2012
CINCINNATI - The Xavier women's soccer team is hitting the road again on Sunday afternoon, heading to Indianapolis to square off against IUPUI at 1 p.m. at the Jaguars' Carroll Stadium. This will be the first-ever meeting between the two teams.
About the Musketeers
Xavier (1-3-0, 0-0-0 A-10) has dropped two straight contests away from home and is
preparing for its fourth road opponent out of its first five contests. The Musketeers are led
offensively by juniors Sydnee Fields, Ashton Green and Mariah Whitaker with one goal
apiece. Sophomore Katie Markesbery has been a fixture for XU between the posts and
has tallied 24 saves in 373:11 minutes of action.
Scouting IUPUI
IUPUI (1-4-0, 0-0-0 Summit) is coming off its first win off the season at Ball State on Friday,
a 1-0 victory with the game-winning goal scored in the 82' by Mackenzie Calvert. In addition
to Calvert, Ashley Doreski and Kristin Price have each scored one goal for the Jaguars.
Giselle Guzman is the regular keeper for IUPUI having logged 372:44 minutes over five
games played with a 2.41 GAA.
Last Time Out
The Musketeers went 0-2 at the 2012 Ball State Tournament last weekend in Muncie, Ind.,
including a 2-1 double-overtime loss to the host Cardinals on Sunday. Junior Ashton Green
scored XU's lone goal in the 59' off her left foot from 15 feet out. BSU was able to
score the equalizer in the 79' and the game-winner with 2:19 left in the second extra period.

I am trying to create a layout for an app that has sidebar on the right side and just got curious about the width of it because I want the users to be comfortable with its size in landscape mode.
Is there a definite or _most common sidebar width_ for an **APP** that will be launched in IPAD?
I know for some websites they usually go for liquid layout that would fit and look well in ipad, but for an app that will be good for the IPAD only for the mean time, what could be the most optimized width in pixels that users commonly see? :)
thanks ;)

Motor Cycle - Triumph Thunderbird, 1951 Reg. No: ST 033223
- Summary:
- The Thunderbird was one of the most popular British motor cycles of the post-war years, being particularly well suited to the requirements of police forces, sidecar users and club racing. Triumph wanted their new medium power machine to compete with American manufacturers, even giving it a native American name. The Thunderbird, introduced in 1949 features the 649 c.c twin-cylinder engine, developed from the range of vertical-twin overhead-valve designs introduced in the mid-1930s. The 649cc engine was one of the most versatile of all British motorcycle engines being used in trials and (in modified form) breaking the world motorcycle speed record. Production machines were capable of around 100 miles per hour.
The Thunderbird was used by Victoria Police in solo and sidecar form during the 1950s for traffic duties but it is perhaps best remembered for being riden by Marlon Brando in the 1953 film 'The Wild One'. The original Thunderbird was produced until 1965 at the Meriden Works of the Triumph Engineering Company Ltd, Allesley, Coventry. The Thunderbird name was later reintroduced by the new Triumph firm in 1995 and continued in production until 2003, emulating its namesake by achieving sales success in the USA. This example was donated to the Museum in 1982.

I would like to obtain an early 1950's Triumph Thunderbird for restoration. Can anyone give me an idea of the price range? This Museum Victoria example is presumably at the upper end. What would it be worth? At the other other end, a unit that is complete and running, but very sad condition. Anyone got suggestions? Thanks. John

Student Spotlights
Zania Kennedy
International Studies & Biology
Shaker Heights, OH
I am the president of the Black Student Alliance organization on campus as well as an MNM (Midnight Madness) staff member. I am also an acting mentor in a mentoring program directed by a fellow BW student. I also attend Campus Crusade for Christ meetings weekly!
Questions and answers
Why did you choose to attend Baldwin-Wallace?
I choose BW because of the small, community feel of the campus. I have found BW's small size to be an advantage in my college experience because it's easy to keep in touch with friends even though this year I don't have a lot of classes with them. I always see them in the union or just walking around campus! Also, it's really easy to find campus resources (learning center, health center,etc..) and to utilize them!
What is your favorite thing about BW?
My favorite thing about BW is how accessible everything and everyone is. If you need something, you can easily find out who to talk to, and they're more than happy to help you out. I've even stopped by the office of the Dean of Students this year!
What has BW helped you learn about yourself?
It's helped me to expand my understanding of diversity even more. The school district I graduated high school from is very diverse in its ethnic and cultural makeup. Diversity is not just a matter of ethnicity though, it's also one of perspective and experience. BW is working on this facet of our community and I've seen growth even since last year!
What advice would you give to prospective students?
Concerning BW, I would say to get yourself acquainted with different groups of people and individuals. I've meet a ton of people here, and with our small size there's really no reason not to expand your social circle.

Consider this post from Barry Ritholtz on May 15th.
"If you're bullish and wrong, you usually have plenty of company. But if you're bearish and wrong, it's almost unforgivable."
-Bob Kargenian, TABR Capital Management, Barron's DECEMBER 15, 2012
The above quote from Barron's has been on my mind for a while. I thought of it again as the markets have made a series of new highs, and the bear community has been split. Some have been "forced in," while others have doubled down.
via Habits of the Bear, Bull Markets and Agency Issues | The Big Picture.
The quote has been bugging me too. It wasn't able to figure out exactly why I was so bothered until I read the now viral post from Josh Brown's blog, The Reformed Broker, in which…destroys the 1999 comparison. The post felt like I was reading a Ben Stein or a Ken Fisher article from 2008 when then they dismissed the bears and smugly detailed how preposterous it was for anyone to disagree with them. I couldn't help but be reminded of the quote from Ben Stein that came after the 08 crash when he said, "If you didn't lose a lot of money during the Panic of 2008, you were probably doing something wrong."
Then it hit me. How different is Ben Stein's quote from what Bob Kargenian said in Barrons or how Josh Brown is writing? Sure Stein was a clown, but are the sentiments any different?
In the case of Josh Brown, there is an additional danger that comes with his writing talent and the conviction of his posts. He might actually convince people that his opinions are set in stone and as any successful investor knows, the inability to change one's opinion is deadly. Unfortunately, people new to the market do not understand the danger and hold it against those who adjust to changing circumstances.
If those conditions do change, I hope Brown is able to change with them. If not, he'll end up being this cycle's Ben Stein.
Update 05/24/13: After writing this post it appears that Brown's tone has become more cautious and I'm happy to see that. He certainly isn't a "Ben Stein" but some of those really arrogant posts started worrying me. I also understand that he was speaking to the perma-bear audience and not to people who bought the fear on 2009.

Med-Trans Denies Wrongdoing in Fatal Chopper Crash
Posted at: 08/20/2013 7:01 PM
(ABC 6 NEWS) -- The company who owned and operated the Mercy helicopter that crashed in January, is denying all wrongdoing.
As we've reported, the family of shelly Lair-Langenbau is suing Med-Trans for wrongful death in the January crash near Ventura.
In it, they claim the company has a "go at all costs" culture, which lead to that crash, killing all three on board.
Med-Trans responded by denying every claim and asking for a dismissal. If not, the company wants a jury trial.
The Langenbau family is seeking damages in excess of $75,000.

Watch video tips and tricks
2 (8 ounce) packages
cream cheese, softened
2 cups
4 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
3 (3 ounce) packages
strawberry flavored Jell-O® mix
1 cup
white sugar
3 drops
red food coloring
3 1/2 cups
boiling water
1/4 cup
1/4 cup
3 pounds
fresh strawberries, sliced
1 1/2 cups
whipped topping
Best Advice: Do a test run with 1 tart before you commit to making a whole batch. You will probably modify along the way as we did. Dough: I added an extra 1/2 cup of flour because the dough was too wet. It still baked too "short" (seemed like there was too much butter). Next time, I will add even more flour. We don't own a mini-muffin tin so I used a regular muffin tin. Chill the dough before pressing into muffin tins so it isn't so soft to work with. I rolled out the dough with a rolling pin and pressed out circles with a large Starbucks coffee mug. Press into muffin tins taking care to be make the dough smooth, evenly thin, and the well deep enough. This will make for a nice presentation at the end. Make sure there is no airpocket underneath. Prick the bottom with fork before baking if not sure. Don't overcook the dough or it will be crumbly. Gelatin Mixture: I used a lot less water than called for as I wanted the gelatin to be thicker and actually "set" before serving it (as opposed to being runny). Strawberries: I also added a small tin of Mandarin oranges into the strawberry mix. I strained out any extra liquids from the strawberry/mandarin mix as it would dilute the jello. We chilled before serving because I wanted the jello mixture to "set".It was a lot of work but the presentation is worth it for a special occasion: wedding/baby shower etc. We made only 12 tarts because it takes so much time. We are going to try freezing the extra dough for future.
I may just possibly bring this dessert to all events. Really easy to make. I varied greatly from the recipe. Cut the portion in half (made about 17 2-inch cups). Substituted berry jello-flavors and added blueberries to the final toppings. I used only a stick and a half of butter, even less than what half the recipe calls for. My cups came out great! They looked beautiful and tasted like kolackys with sweet syruped fruit. To make my gelatin set better, I added about 1tsp more of cornstarch to the warm syrup when I noticed it was too runny. Popped the final product in the fridge and in about an hour, it was set.
7 Ratings
A little time consuming, but well worth the effort. I used sugar free jello and light cream cheese to cut calories. Made these for a treat to take to work. A co-worker also made them over the weekend and substitued a little of the flour with cocoa to make the crust chocolate flavored. She said they were fantastic.
These were delicious, though I agree they are time consuming. My girls are 3 years old and 20 months old and they enjoy rolling it into balls and pressing them into the muffin tins. Half the jello would have sufficed for us, because we didn't get the tart shells thin enough. They still tasted great though, especially with the whipped topping and I agree with the description, they do taste like mini strawberry shortcakes. I used the light cream cheese, as that is what I use for everything, and they were great. I did need my teenage son to finish stirring the dough once all the flour was added because it was so thick. I tried using the electric beaters but after a while the dough liked to climb right up the beaters and stay there, very hard to remove. Doesn't change my rating though.
Tasted great when first got to the table over time the jello set and the tarts seemed very dry.
