The US has grown an energy conscience. Just look around in stores that sell appliances, computers, televisions, light bulbs or any kind of electric equipment. You'll see the words 'energy saving' or 'energy efficient' on a lot of the packaging.
This trend didn't just happen, but is the result of some careful nurturing by government, most of it relatively invisible to the average consumer and certainly painless and free of sacrifice.
Of these policies, one of the most ingenious…Continue

Efforts have been underway for decades to conserve both energy and water, but never in concert. This is unfortunate because energy uses a lot of water and water uses a lot of energy.

Who would have thought backyards would cause so much trouble for the North American energy industry? First came the NIMBYs, the not-in-my-backyard protesters who block power projects from being built near them. And now we have the GIMBBYs – the give-me-a-bigger-backyard homeowners who are unwittingly getting in the way of energy efficiency.

Lamar's Game Notes
BEAUMONT, Texas - The Lamar University softball team will face two nationally ranked teams this weekend when it travels to Austin, Texas, at the Time Warner Cable Texas Invitational.
The four-team field includes sixth-ranked Texas (11-0) and 24th-ranked Tulsa (7-3) along with Lamar (3-4) and Utah State (0-10).
The Lady Cardinals open tourney play when they meet Utah State at 11 a.m. Friday. Lamar meets the host Longhorns at 4:30 p.m. Friday before wrapping up pool play against Tulsa at 1 p.m. Saturday. The semifinal games are slated for 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday, with the consolation and championship games at 10 a.m. and noon Sunday.
Bruder hopes her team's bats can come alive this weekend. The Lady Cardinals are batting just .182 on the season, and have been outhit in every game so far. Bruder also looks for her team to improve its play in the field. Lamar has committed 13 errors in seven games this spring.
"We have to improve in both of these areas," Bruder said. "Defense keeps you in games and hitting wins games for you. We need to do a better job."
Candyce Carter leads Lamar in hitting with a .400 average. She also leads the club with a .591 on-base percentage and .667 slugging percentage. Ashley McDowell has team bests of two home runs and five runs scored.
Left-hander Shannon Millman (2-1, 4.76) leads Lamar in wins and ERA. Her 25 innings pitched is more than half of the team's total of 40 2/3 innings.
"Shannon has done a good job, but she has to get ahead of the hitters more often," Bruder said. "She's got a great drop ball, and when she is on her game, I expect to see 21 ground balls."
All of Lamar's games will be aired broadcast live on www.LamarCardinals.com. The game against Texas as well as the semifinals and the consolation and championship games will air live on the Longhorn Sports Network.

Shania's (Bebe Wood) goin' to the chapel and she's gonna get married!
Yes, The New Normal's staging a wedding…make that an imaginary one. When Shania announces that she and her classmate are "pretend" engaged and are going to stage an imaginary wedding, Bryan (Andrew Rannells) and a reluctant Rocky (NeNe Leakes) decide to plan the event of the season.
We've got your exclusive first look at Shania's big day!
The New Normal and two other shows were given full orders by NBC
While Bryan is excited about the wedding (hello, sunflowers!) and Goldie (Georgina King) supports Shania's fairy tale, complete with a wedding dress made of leaves (pretty colors, Shania!), Jane (Ellen Barkin), of course, is less than thrilled by the idea and tries to shut the ceremony down. Never fear, David (Justin Bartha) is here, discovers how important this party is for his husband and makes a life-changing decision.
And look who Bryan recruits to officiate the fake ceremony? Clint (Sterling Sulieman), Rocky's Republican brother who flirted with Goldie at Bryan and David's infamous dinner party! Hm…could Goldie and Clint be dating?
Ryan Murphy's new hit comedy recently was picked up for a full season by NBC, along with Go On and Revolution.
The New Normal airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on NBC.
(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

Titans guard Jake Scott has been teammates with Kerry Collins since 2008. But he's quick to admit his recent comments about the veteran quarterback had nothing to do with inside information, or a recent conversation with Collins.
Last week on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Scott was asked about Collins' future. His response received some national attention: "I'm not sure Kerry isn't going to say, 'I'm done,' and ride off into the sunset. I don't think he wants to come back and be a nursemaid to a young kid. Money's not an issue to him."
Scott said no one should read much into those comments. He was simply speaking his mind, he said.
"I was just asked my opinion so I think it's possible,'' Scott said. "But I haven't talked to Kerry since January."
Collins has kept a low-profile this offseason after saying at the end of last season he was still interested in playing in 2011. The Titans have maintained the 16-year pro remains on their radar even after drafting quarterback Jake Locker.

Tonight's episode of "Celebrity Wife Swap" on ABC featured a unique exchange: Gary Busey's fiancée and Ted Haggard's wife traded places for one week. Surprisingly, there were no fireworks.
The hour gave viewers insight into the lives of the two households, and into the struggles of Busey -- who suffered a brain injury after a motorcycle accident and is now known for his wacky way of expressing himself, and Haggard, an evangelical Christian who was disgraced when a gay sex and drug scandal came to light.
Haggard had been a pastor of mega New Life Church and president of the National Association of Evangelicals. In 2006, his life unraveled after allegations that he had paid a male prostitute for sex for three years and purchased crystal methamphetamine from him.
Steffanie Sampson went to the Haggard family's Colorado Springs, Colo., home, while Gayle Haggard went to Busey's home in Los Angeles. Sampson met the Haggards' children, and Haggard, 54, met Sampson and Busey's young son, Luke.
The traded women familiarize themselves with their new households, reading the "manual" that was left for them by the other women.
As part of her duties, Sampson, who is Jewish, had to take over leading a women's Bible study for the absent Gayle Haggard. When she disclosed that she and Busey were married "in spirit" and not legally, she got some blank stares. Unfamiliar with the Bible reading, she stumbled a little and drew loud laughter when she mispronounced the word "disciple."
She also read from Gayle Haggard's book, which was published after her husband's scandal and details why she stayed with him. Sampson took exception to the perceived implication in the book that the gay prostitute who talked about his experiences with Haggard was doing the work of the devil.
She also talked to Haggard and his children about what affect their father's scandal had on them. Haggard's son, Elliott, said he was angry at how people treated his father.
Haggard, 55, said the scandal was embarrassing and heart-wrenching, adding, "I wanted to die."
Sampson, 37, seemed genuinely concerned for the Haggards' well-being.
"They're all so lovely and I just want them to be happy and find some peace," she said, choking up. "I hope I can help. It would be great if I could."
She noticed that Haggard seems to throw himself into helping the people in his new church, and as part of her rules for the household, got the family to meet and talk. During the meeting, Haggard's daughter, Christy, asked to spend more time with her father. The resulting discussion grew tense when Elliott implied that Christy may have been unfair to their father by suggesting that he hadn't been available for the family.
Haggard and his daughter went out together for a father-daughter tea and resolved the issue. Christy told her father that she'd like him to reach out to her more, and he promised to do so.
"I love you so much. You're precious to me, you're valuable to me. You're my only daughter," he says.
Sampson also took the family on a hike in the picturesque hills of the area, and asks them to continue doing so as a family.
While in the Busey household, Gayle Haggard said that she believes that the actor is a good father to his young son, but thinks the actor, 67, seems a bit too focused on himself. She resolves to direct his attention outward.
In particular, when she tries to engage him in conversation, he talks a lot but doesn't have any questions for her beyond what sport she may have played in her youth. The answer: Barrel racing.
She also is confused by Busey's tendency to speak in playfully high voices -- he sometimes ended sentences with the word "yay" -- and seems thrown for a moment when she asks him if he goes to church and he replies: "I am church."

New Student Information
Welcome to Albion College. In the following pages you will find information to help guide you through the process of registering with the Learning Support Center (LSC), providing documentation of your disability and receiving accommodations and/or services. We encourage students to register with the Center since eligibility must be established before services can be provided. Once this has been done, the decision to utilize these services and accommodations in any class is a decision of the student. Disclosure of a disability to the Learning Support Center is confidential. A student must sign a formal release each semester before a letter listing approved accommodations is sent to the student's faculty members.
The staff of the Learning Support Center works closely with students in determining the appropriate accommodations and services required. After you identify yourself, you will meet with the Director or Assistant Director of the center in an intake appointment to review you documentation and discuss your previous experiences with services. This helps us to develop a mutually agreed upon plan.

Chronic Medical Conditions
Students who have health issues which may impact their ability to meet course requirements (number of absences and/or need for work extensions) may wish to register with the Learning Support Center and provide supporting documentation. The Center staff will then be able to determine your qualification for necessary accommodations.

Product description
Where did "democracy" come from, and what was its original form and meaning? Here Josiah Ober shows that this "power of the people" crystallized in a revolutionary uprising by the ordinary citizens of Athens in 508-507 B.C. He then examines the consequences of the development of direct democracy for upper-and lower-class citizens, for dissident Athenian intellectuals, and for those who were denied citizenship under the new regime (women, slaves, resident foreigners), as well as for the general development of Greek history.When the citizens suddenly took power into their own hands, they changed the cultural and social landscape of Greece, thereby helping to inaugurate the Classical Era. Democracy led to fundamental adjustments in the basic structures of Athenian society, altered the forms and direction of political thinking, and sparked a series of dramatic reorientations in international relations. It quickly made Athens into the most powerful Greek city-state, but it also fatally undermined the traditional Greek rules of warfare. It stimulated the development of the Western tradition of political theorizing and encouraged a new conception of justice that has striking parallels to contemporary theories of rights.But Athenians never embraced the notions of inherency and inalienability that have placed the concept of rights at the center of modern political thought. Thus the play of power that constituted life in democratic Athens is revealed as at once strangely familiar and desperately foreign, and the values sustaining the Athenian political community as simultaneously admirable and terrifying.

Review quote
"The Athenian Revolution is a welcome collection... Interesting and witty introductions place the articles in personal and scholarly context."--Peter Krentz, Religious Studies Review "[Ober] has succeeded in writing a book that both political theorists and ancient historians will find always provocative and often persuasive. Highly recommended."--Choice "By confronting critically an alien way of thinking and doing and speaking about politics that is nevertheless also the fountainhead of our own Western political tradition, Ober provides a wide range of readers with a truly unsettling and therefore properly educational experience."--Paul Cartledge, New England Classical Journal

Comments about Womens Merrell Bare Access Trail Trail Running Shoe:
I have osteo-arthritis in both knees and I have found that "barefoot running" shoes work best for me. If I wear a shoe with too much control, my knees ache. These shoes really do feel like walking barefoot yet add enough cushioning for more comfort. I hike and walk for exercise and these shoes are perfect. I can walk 5 brisk miles and have minimal knee pain.

Reviews St. Nicholas Church
St. Nicholas Church
Known as the largest parish church in England, St. Nicholas Church was originally founded in 1101 and consecrated in 1119, it is located in the heart of Great Yarmouth, and is considered to be the oldest building in the town.
The church hosts several events during the calendar year, which includes choir shows and exhibitions, as well as festivals and fairs in which the church opens up to allow stalls and traders inside.
The Church's height of glory was during the Medieval Period with stained glass, tapestries, painted and gilded walls, frescos, several guild chapels and various relics of saints and ornate furniture. During World War II, the church was bombed and nearly destroyed, but was rebuilt and re-consecrated in 1961. Church tours and group guides tours are available free of charge, although church donations are welcomed. For more information, contact 01 493 843647.

Poggio a Caiano, Tuscany
Bianca Cappello (1548 – 20 October 1587) was an Italian noblewoman who was the mistress, and afterward the second wife, of Francesco I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. Her husband officially made her his consort.
She was born in Venice, in 1548, the daughter of Bartolomeo Cappello and Pellegrina Morosini, a member of one of the richest and noblest Venetian families, and was noted for her great beauty.[1]
At the age of fifteen she fell in love with Pietro Bonaventuri, a young Florentine clerk in the firm of Salviati, and on 28 November 1563 escaped with him to Florence, where they were married. In 1564 she had a daughter named Virginia, or, according to other sources, Pellegrina. The Venetian government made every effort to have Bianca arrested and brought back but the Grand Duke Cosimo I intervened in her favour and she was left unmolested.[2][3]
However, she did not get on well with her husband's family, who were very poor and made her do menial work, until at last her beauty attracted Grand Prince Francesco, son and heir apparent of the grand duke.[4]
Although already married to Joanna of Austria, Francesco seduced Bianca and gave her jewels, money and other presents. Bonaventuri, Bianca's husband, was given court employment and consoled himself with other ladies until, in 1572, he was murdered in the streets of Florence in consequence of some amorous intrigue. It is possible that Bianca and Francesco were involved.[2]
On the death of Cosimo in 1574 Francesco succeeded to the grand duchy; he now installed Bianca in a palace (now known as Palazzo di Bianca Cappello) close to his own and outraged his wife by flaunting his mistress before her. As Francesco had no heir, since Joanna had born him only one son, Filippo (20 May 1577 – 29 March 1582) who died as a juvenile, and six daughters, of whom, only two lived to adulthood; Bianca was very anxious to present him with one, since until such time her position would remain very insecure.[2] In 1576 she gave birth to Don Antonio de' Medici (d. 1621), but he was not openly acknowledged as Francesco's heir until after Joanna's death, when the boy was about three years old.[5]
In 1578 Joanna died; a few months later Francesco secretly married Bianca, and on 10 June 1579, the marriage was publicly announced. Two days later, on the 12 June, Bianca was crowned the Grand Duchess of Tuscany at the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. The Venetian government now put aside its resentment and was officially represented at the magnificent wedding festivities, for it saw in Bianca Cappello an instrument for cementing good relations with Tuscany. But the long expected heir failed to come, and Bianca realized that if her husband were to die before her she was lost, for his family, especially his brother Cardinal Ferdinand, hated her bitterly, as an adventuress and interloper.[2][6]
In October 1587, at the Villa Medici in Poggio a Caiano, Francesco and Bianca died on 19th and 20th October, possibly poisoned, or as some historians believe, from malarial fever. As Bianca wasn't an official member of the Medici family, Cardinal Ferdinand didn't allow her body to be buried in the Medici family tombs.[7] Instead, Bianca was buried in an unmarked grave under the church of St. Lorenzo, which is located near the site of her death. In 2006, forensic and toxicology experts at the University of Florence reported evidence of arsenic poisoning in a study published in the British Medical Journal,[8] but in 2010 evidence of the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which causes malaria, was found in Francesco's remains.[9]
The biography of Bianca Cappello was used by Thomas Middleton for his tragedy Women Beware Women (published 1657).

Since its inception, the US population has progressively migrated westward. And more recently, thanks to the advent of air conditioning, we've moved southward. These trends, according to new data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), have decisively shaped residential energy consumption patterns in recent decades.
The EIA's data release suggests that our geographic shifts have been associated with a relocation toward warmer conditions, which has in turn meant lower demand for energy-intensive home heating. This phenomenon has been an important factor in dampening per capita energy consumption over the past 50 years – even as the average home's square footage has been increasing.
The map below gives a sense of Americans' westward and southward migration over time: in 1790, the country's so-called "mean center of population" was in Maryland; in 2010, it was situated in southern Missouri.
While in 1960, only 31.2% of the U.S. population lived in the warmest states (as defined by a temperature measurement called degree days), this share of the population rose to 43.4% by 2010. On the other hand, the share of the population living in cooler states declined from 59.7% in 1960 to 48.3% in 2010.
The shift toward warmer climates has naturally entailed greater demand for air-conditioning. But because space heating generally requires more energy than space cooling, the total residential energy load from heating and A/C has actually gone down since 1960, as heating needs have decreased relative to cooling needs.
This isn't to say that warmer is necessarily better for the world's energy future. The recent spike in air-conditioning load in the US and internationally—due to a combination of intense summer temperatures and a greater ability of developing-nation households to afford air conditioners—has the potential to put strong upward pressure on residential energy demand in the coming years.

Sean Fuller, a 1990 South Spencer High School graduate, returned to the school early Friday to talk with students.
Fuller is a drummer in Florida Georgia Line. The band, which shot to fame with the hit 'Cruise', is playing at Ford Center Friday night.
He talked about his journey from Evansville to Nashville and spoke about some of the famous musicians he's played with.
Some students said they thought Fuller's speech was inspiring and found it neat to see a fellow rebel achieve success.
The concert begins at 7:30.

Nov. 14, 2013 -- The question of the day is: Should I be on a statin?
New guidelines released Tuesday by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology change the standards for who should be taking these cholesterol-lowering drugs.
As doctors follow the new guidelines, more people are expected to be put on statins.
The guidelines include new weight and lifestyle measures to lower the risk of having a heart attack and stroke. The guidelines also recommend that doctors focus on overall risks to the heart and less on cholesterol numbers.
Three doctors give their perspectives on the guidelines.
"The new focus is on risk" rather than simply a cholesterol number, says Timothy Henry, MD, director of cardiology at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute. "This is a plan for dealing with cardiovascular risk.''
"It starts with knowing what our risk is and then helping to manage that risk, starting with a healthy lifestyle. It starts with exercise, losing weight [if necessary], and eating the right foods. It's also being aware of the risks."
"Nothing was wrong, [it's] just a different approach or focus," Henry says. "Rather than numbers, it's moving the focus to understanding risk and with a focus on a heart-healthy lifestyle.''
Just as in the past, people diagnosed with heart disease will start taking a statin.
New to the guidelines: People with extremely high LDL, or ''bad'' cholesterol, and all middle-aged people with type 2 diabetes will be advised to take a statin.
Also, men and women 40 to 75 who have an estimated 10-year risk of heart or blood vessel problems of 7.5% or higher will be recommended a statin.
To determine that risk, doctors use a calculator that figures out the chances of having heart problems in the next 10 years.
The calculator takes into account cholesterol numbers, age, blood pressure, smoking habits, and use of blood pressure medicines. All of these things affect your chance of having heart problems.
The risk calculator does not apply if you already have heart disease.
Henry says people can still use the calculator. "No risk calculator will be perfect," Henry says. "It provides a relative risk for the patient based on established risk factors."
Another doctor tells patients not to use it on their own. "Having used the calculator in over 100 patients, I agree that the [need for] statin use is overestimated," says Ravi Dave, MD, of the UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica. "I am using the guidelines with my clinical judgment and a patient's specific history to guide me," he says. "These are just guidelines."
Rather than target a specific number, doctors will try to lower your cholesterol by a certain percentage, Dave says. How much your doctor expects you to lower your cholesterol will depend on your level of risk, he says, and whether the goal is aggressive- or medium-risk reduction.
If you are at high risk, the goal will be to cut the bad cholesterol by half. If you have some risk, your doctor may tell you to lower your cholesterol by 30% to 50%, he says.
Lowering cholesterol in this way helped people avoid heart attacks and strokes in the studies the experts looked at.
"We were much too focused on a number," Dave says. "Patients had to reach a certain number to determine success." Few patients did that, he says.
"None, actually," says Robert Eckel, MD, professor of medicine at the University of Colorado. He was a member of the cholesterol guidelines panel.
"People [on the panels] who felt they were conflicted did not vote on the guidelines," he says.
The expert panel looked at many studies to make its decision, the doctors say. For instance, studies showed that lowering bad cholesterol levels by 30% to 50% in patients at moderate risk could lower their chance of having a heart attack.
Living a healthy lifestyle is still important, the doctors agree. "Targeting a healthy lifestyle is the first step," Henry says, "then focusing on the use of statins for moderate- to high-risk patients.''
If your risk is very high, Dave says, your doctor may not give you time to try lifestyle changes by themselves. Instead, your doctor may prescribe medication as well as encourage you to improve your lifestyle.
And some people can't take statins, Henry says, because of side effects.

Anomalous thickness-dependence of photocurrent explained for planar nano-heterojunction organic solar cells
When researchers from the Strano Research Group at MIT tried to figure out why using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in organic photovoltaics did not result in higher efficiencies, despite the material's obvious advantages, the group found that bundling of SWNTs was detrimental to the solar cell's performance. As a proof of concept, the scientists designed a planar heterojunction (PHJ) solar cell with long, parallel SWNTs as the acceptor and P3HT as the donor. The efficiency per SWNT increased by a factor of ~50 (ACS Nano 2010 4 6251). By adjusting the thickness of the P3HT layer covering the SWNTs, the researchers found that a maximum photocurrent was reached at a value of ~60 nm. This observation served as the motivation for the team's current work, which has just been published in Nanotechnology.
Typically, a maximum efficiency in PHJs is expected for ~10 nm of active material – the value of the exciton diffusion length in most conjugated polymers. The idea behind this statement is that if an exciton is generated at a distance greater than its diffusion length from the hetero-interface of the PHJ, it would be very unlikely to be able to contribute to the photocurrent.
Searching through the literature, the researchers noted that their device was not the only P3HT-based PHJ device to display anomalous behaviour. Another design, this time with PCBM molecules functioning as the acceptor material, was also reported to show a similar trend in photocurrent versus P3HT thickness.
Predicting device behaviour
The Strano team decided to explore these results in more detail by combining both an optical T-matrix and a Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) model. The optical model determines where photons are being absorbed in the device and shows that interference plays a much larger role in the P3HT/PCBM device than in the P3HT/SWNT device because the reflecting electrode is positioned directly beneath the active layer. Once it is known where photons are absorbed (and hence excitons are generated), the KMC simulation focuses on tracking the path of each exciton.
By taking into account the recent experimental observation that excitons can also dissociate in the bulk of the active layer, not just at the hetero-interface, the model accurately predicts the trend for the P3HT/SWNT device. The bulk exciton dissociation is more pronounced for smaller thicknesses of P3HT (due to a corresponding stronger electric field), which shifts the maximum photocurrent to larger values of the P3HT thickness.
In the P3HT/PCBM case this effect is offset by the increased positive optical interference at lower thicknesses. Here the model teaches us that the shift of the maximum is caused by PCBM molecules interdiffusing into the P3HT upon annealing.
Based on the results of this model it will be possible to improve the design of nanostructured photovoltaics.
Further information can be found in the journal Nanotechnology.

Bill was the only child that finished high school. During high school he worked midnight shift in a factory that produced Sherman tanks. In 1938, his mother sent him for special army training at a summer camp. Bill joined the new parachute training at Camp Toccoa in 1942. At the end of 1943 after 2 years of hard training they were shipped to england, where preparations for D-Day started.
Bill was very close with his brother Henry. When he learned of his death, Bill was extremely distraught. Bill became furious and swore that hed kill every German soldier in Europe. That is where he got the nickname "Wild Bill" Guarnere. Later on D-Day, 12 men of easy Company had orders to take out guns (Silencing the guns) at Brecourt Manor. Bill was one of the 12 men. For this action Bill received a Silver star.

Gene, yes that is quite a heart rending picture when you take time to sit back, look at it, and remember that the "young men" lain there were just as vital, fun-loving, strong and determined as those whom went on to survive the remainder of the war. Its also a potent sign of "brotherhood" that your Dad had visited his mates way back in 1987.

Winners and Past Results for the George Ryder Stakes
Australian Turf Club hosts the George Ryder Stakes, which is a Group 1 race for 3 year old horses and upwards.
The event is held annually at Rosehill Racecourse, Sydney, New South Wales and is run under weight for age conditions.
The race suits stronger sprinters and middle distance runners that travel over 1500 metres for prize money worth $1,000,000.
The classic sprint race is held during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival a week before the Golden Slipper Day which is the biggest day observed by the Club.
Other races which are organized on the same day are the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas and Group 1 The Galaxy leaving punters with a large spread and the hopes of making up on any losses.
The winner is exempt from ballot for the prestigious Doncaster Handicap. In 2011, rank outsider Rangirangdoo caused a major upset with front runner Love Conquers All relegated to second place, followed by Triple Elegance.
The George Ryder Stakes was held for the first time in 1903 over a distance of 6 furlongs. It was then a Principal Race and remained so till 1979. Due to a number of top performers entering the fray, the George Ryder Stakes was awarded Group 1 status in 1980. The distance has also been increased gradually over the years and has been a 15000 metre race since 1986. Manikato in 1980 became the first George Ryder Stakes winner to reach the winning post in a record time of 1:21.6.
The George Ryder Stakes has witnessed some of the finest sprinters and milers score remarkable victories on the Rosehill track.
The Group 2 Canterbury Stakes usually serves as a form guide for the George Ryder Stakes. Gallopers that perform well in this event may also tackle other races like the Group 1 AJC Queen Elizabeth Stakes, Group 1 All Aged Stakes and the Group 1 Doncaster Handicap.
Grand Armee, runner up in 2003, was victorious in the Doncaster Handicap. Racing To Win in 2006, Haradasun in 2007, and Vision And Power in 2009 scored a George Ryder Stakes/Doncaster Handicap double.
Among the brilliant horses to win the George Ryder Stakes include Schillaci in 1993, Lonhro with back to back victories in 2003-04, and Emancipation, earlier in 1983-84. 2011 winner Rangirangdoo ran fourth in the Group 2 Canterbury Stakes prior to winning the event.

DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire women's basketball team will wrap up its three-game road stretch with a visit to intrastate rival Dartmouth on Wednesday, Nov. 30 at Leede Arena. The game is set to start at 7 p.m. Links to live stats and live video will be available at www.unhwildcats.com.
NEW BRITAIN, Conn. – Sophomore Kelsey Hogan (Nashua, N.H.) netted a team-high 11 points, but it would not be enough as the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team fell at Central Connecticut State University, 83-44, Sunday afternoon at Detrick Gymnasium.
With the loss, the Wildcats drop to 2-2 on the season while the Blue Devils improve to 3-1 overall.
Hogan, who notched her third double-figure scoring effort of the young season, shot 4-of-8 from the floor, while senior Denise Beliveau (Framingham, Mass.) finished with eight points, three steals and a team-high seven rebounds.
Jaclyn Babe led the Blue Devils offensively with a game-high 22 points, while Kirsten Daamen and Brooke Bailey also scored in double-figures with 18 and 14, respectively.
The teams opened the contest with even scoring for the first five minutes, until a put-back basket by Beliveau sparked a 6-0 run for UNH, giving the visitors a 16-12 lead at the 14:13 mark. The Blue Devils responded with a pair of buckets over the next 3:13 to tie up the score at 16 apiece.
After the teams traded baskets, the Blue Devils ended the half on a 24-4 run in eight minutes of action for a 42-22 advantage at halftime. UNH was paced by the play of Hogan in the opening 20 minutes, who had seven points, while Beliveau added six points and two steals. Central's Jaclyn Babe led all players with 13 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the floor.
The teams opened the second frame with tightly contested play as Hogan netted four points and senior Abigail LaRosa (Hampton, N.H.) followed with a short jumper, but the Blue Devils kept pace, maintaining a 48-28 lead at the 16:30 mark.
Central Connecticut would open up a 10-4 run over the next 2:20 for a 57-30 advantage with just over 14 minutes left to play. The Wildcats pulled within 23 on a basket by freshman Ariel Gaston (Toledo, Ohio) and a pair of free throws by sophomore Sarah-Marie Frankenberger (Gross Gerau, Germany), but could not get closer, as the Blue Devils went on to claim the victory.
New Hampshire will take on intrastate rival Dartmouth on the road, marking the 33rd meeting between the two programs, in a series that dates back to the 1978-79 season. The teams each earned a victory in the first two battles, before the Wildcats won five straight contests. The Wildcats lead the all-time series, 17-15, but the Big Green are closing in on this Granite State rivalry, as Dartmouth has won five of the last six head-to-heads. UNH came out on top in last year's meeting with a 65-52 victory at Lundholm Gymnasium.
The Dartmouth College women's basketball team fell to Big East foe Providence, 63-48, on the road Saturday … The Big Green opened the season at 0-2 before picking up road wins over Colgate and Vermont … Dartmouth now stands at 2-3 on the season and has yet to play at home … Freshman Kamala Thompson led the Big Green offense with 12 points against the Friars, while fellow rookie Tia Dawson joined Thompson in double figures with a career-best 10 points … Dawson also tallied a team-best eight rebounds while leading scorer junior Faziah Steen added nine points … Dartmouth struggled from the floor, shooting 26.4 percent (14-of-53) for the game while the Friars shot 39.6 percent (21-of-53) for the contest … Dartmouth was also outrebounded for the first time in its last two games, losing the battle of the boards, 46-30 … On the season, Steen leads the Big Green and ranks fourth in the Ivy League with 16.2 points per game … She also ranks third in the league in free throw percentage (88.0, 22-25) and second in 3-point field goals made with 2.2 treys per game … As a team, Dartmouth tops the league in both field goal defense (34.2) and 3-point defense (25.0).
The University of New Hampshire women's basketball team fell at Central Connecticut State, 83-44, on the road Sunday afternoon … UNH now stands at 2-2 on the season with a pair of road victories over Brown and Cornell … Sophomore Kelsey Hogan led the attack against the Blue Devils with a team-high 11 points on 3-of-4 shooting from the floor, marking her third double-figure scoring effort of the young season … Senior Denise Beliveau finished with eight points, three steals and a team-high seven rebounds … Hogan currently leads the team in scoring with 12.5 points per game, while Beliveau is also averaging double-digit scoring with 10.5 points per game … Beliveau is also the team's top rebounder with 8.0 boards per contest.
Head Coach Maureen Magarity is back for her second season as head coach of the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team. Last season, Magarity led UNH to a 6-10 conference record - twice as many wins as the year before - and a trip to the America East tournament before the Wildcats fell to Binghamton in the quarterfinals. Magarity was named the sixth head coach in the history of the program on May 18, 2010 and the youngest coach of a Division I team – men's or women's – in the country.
Head coach Chris Wielgus returns for her 27th season at the helm of the Dartmouth College women's basketball team. In her time in Hanover, Wielgus has recorded 12 Ivy League championships, one Patriot League title and seven NCAA Tournament appearances. She is the winningest coach in the illustrious history of Dartmouth College, amassing a record of 381-298 in 26 seasons. Including her two years as a head coach with Fordham, Wielgus sports a 418-319 overall record in 28 years as a head coach.
New Hampshire has a longstanding and successful history with the Ivy League as the Wildcats hold a 58-31 all-time record against members of the Ancient Eight. Wednesday's matchup against Dartmouth will mark the third road game against an Ivy League team this season as the Wildcats already notched victories over Brown, 62-57, and Cornell, 63-62.
With 984 career points, Denise Beliveau is set to join some elite company as the senior needs just 16 points to become the 16th member of the program's 1,000 point club. Beliveau will look to pass Heidi Plencner (1,000 pts) on the all-time scoring list, while Amy Simpson was the last Wildcat to join the club, hitting the career mark on January 10, 2010.
Sophomore Kelsey Hogan is off to a great start this season as she leads the team in scoring with 12.5 points per game, netting double-digit numbers in three of four games played. A proven player in crunch time situations, Hogan posted 15 points at Cornell, including the game-winning basket with one-tenth of a second left on the clock to secure the, 63-62 victory. In UNH's season-opener at Brown, Hogan erupted for a game-high 17 points, more than she had in any single game last season, shooting 4-of-5 from downtown and also added a career-high nine boards. Hogan went on to best that mark with 10 rebounds against Seton Hall. She is tied for first in the America East in field goal percentage (51.4, 18-35), sharing the ranking with Vermont's Lauren Buschmann, and tops the league in 3-point field goal percentage (56.3, 9-16).
Senior Denise Beliveau has already logged a pair of double-doubles in just four games this season. She dropped in 10 points and added a game-high 13 rebounds in the season opener at Brown and also posted 18 points and 10 boards at Cornell, leading all players in both categories. Beliveau is no stranger to the accomplishment as she posted a conference-best 11 double-doubles last season.
New Hampshire has been strong from beyond the arc to start the season as the team ranks third in the conference in both 3-point field goal percentage (33.0, 21-63) and 3-pointers made (5.3 p/g). The sharpshooting Wildcats shot 50 percent from 3-point land at Cornell, shooting 8-of-16 from behind the line, including six in the first half. Individually, sophomore Kelsey Hogan and junior Cari Reed each rank in the top-10 for conference 3-point field goal percentage, as Hogan tops the league (56.3, 9-16) and Reed ranks seventh (35.3, 6-17).
Denise Beliveau leads the conference in free throw shooting percentage this season with a perfect 9-for-9 at the charity stripe. As a team, the Wildcats rank second in the league at 70 percent, trailing only UMBC (81.8).
Denise Beliveau led all players with 18 points and 10 boards in UNH's win at Cornell, marking her second double-double performance of the season and second double-digit scoring effort. Beliveau ranks near the top of the America East in several statistical categories, including third in defensive rebounds (5.5), fifth in rebounding (8.0), and 16th in scoring (10.5).
The Wildcats downed Cornell, 63-62, in thrilling fashion on Nov. 22, as Kelsey Hogan netted the game-winning lay-up at the final buzzer for the team's second road victory of the season. The play was set up on the previous UNH possession, as Cari Reed drilled a 3-pointer from the right corner to give the Wildcats a 61-60 lead with 24 seconds left to play. Cornell answered back after a timeout and took the late one-point lead on a jumper by senior Maka Anyanwu with six seconds remaining in regulation. The Wildcats quickly traveled down the length of the court, setting up another Reed 3-pointer from the corner. Hogan was well positioned under the net as she claimed the offensive rebound and flipped up the game-winning layup with one-tenth of a second left on the clock, sealing the victory as time expired.

Mark Newport: Self-Made Man Upending familiar caricatures from superpowers, spinsters and Mr. Moms to high and low art, this exhibit of limp, knitted comic-book-hero costumes marks the definitive end of the Bold Man of Action. Superman, Batman — they're all here, hanging like molted skins or discarded fruit rinds. While meticulously handcrafted, this collection of full-body woolens, emptied of form, is less suggestive of self-sufficiency than gentle dependency — that precious, humble concession necessary for maintaining family structure. Newport, then — seen in a video knitting (and wearing knitted suit) — could be super-normal, at ultimate peace with his domesticated role. The work speaks more to the truer root of the comic-book mythos, which was not about brawny power but the condition of being a misfit — socially dispossessed, precocious but alienated, scarred by trauma and hell-bent on being needed. In the loose musculature, flaccid ears and drooping emblems of Newport's pieces, comic-book luminaries are perhaps laid bare; having finally found human acceptance, they can be as vulnerable as they please. Through May 9 at Laumeier Sculpture Park, 12580 Rott Road, Sunset Hills; 314-615-5278 or www.laumeier.org. Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Sat., noon-5 p.m. Sun. (Outdoor grounds open daily from 8 a.m. to a half-hour past sunset).
The Michael Jackson Series Cutout portraits of fresh-faced, Jackson Five-era Michael Jackson hover amid painted patterns of stars and stripes in this homage to the recently deceased King of Pop. The work, by St. Louis-based artist David Langley, lines the display window walls of Gallery Proper, the street-side exhibition space of All Along Press' impressive new headquarters on Cherokee Street. Jackson's portrait, repetitively presented in eternal adolescence, is bitten away by small cuts that variously devour the image. Flanking this series are two other pop-star portraits — of Sid Vicious, haloed, razor-lacerated and downcast; and of Twiggy, her mournful, large-eyed face looming over a slender torso that is half popsicle stick, half paper doll's tabbed attire. The storefront display of rock-star martyrdom sets a ruminative tone for local passersby, functioning like a visual anthem to lost youth. Through April 3 at Gallery Proper, 2712 Cherokee Street; 314-827-6185 or www.allalongpress.com. Hours: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Mon.-Sat.
Old Media/Old News Yesterday's headlines are re-presented in traditional (old) media by a group of local and international artists in this inventive elegy to the death of print journalism. Idiosyncratic, methodical processes seek to replace or reclaim the generative grind of tangible print: Martin Brief fills in all the O's that appear on the front page of the daily newspaper in hyper-minimalist maps of dots that suggest a concealed but perhaps arbitrary code. Writer Austin Kleon uses a Sharpie to black out the majority of text on a page, suggesting that what's left reveals poetic insight into otherwise prosaic reportage. And in the ultimate feat of sustained meticulousness, Xiang-Yang's Newsreel employs entire rolls of Scotch tape to peel off the printed faces of celebrities and other media-saturated notables, creating reams of ephemeral, repetitive portraits that resemble unspooled film stock of pummeling propaganda. Fact, here, becomes marginalia, while emotional and personal experiences surface as all that's most articulate, memorable or worth remembering. The exhibit also includes work by Michelle Forsyth and Jihoon Park. Through March 27 at the Luminary Center for the Arts, 4900 Reber Place; 314-807-5984 or www.theluminaryarts.com. Hours: noon-6 p.m. Wed.-Sat.
The Pangaea Project In this series of predominantly oil-on-panel abstractions, St. Louis-based Jeremy Rabus deepens his distinct call-and-response approach, crafting a suite of images that catalogue the nuances of pure gesture and color. While vaguely evocative of landscapes (the titles are amalgams that call to mind fictional place names), the work is most successful when it trades in its most elusive elements: the ridges of brushstrokes, a bold sweep of red down the canvas' center, sanded-flat layers of indistinct but confidently fluid marks. More illustrative moments — wavy, pastel-hued lines that resemble plankton or water — feel too deliberately overworked. But all in all the exhibit marks a step forward in the artist's craft — with deeper color, more refined surfaces and a bolder painterly facility that permits itself to take uncalculated risks. Through March 27 at Hoffman LaChance Contemporary, 2713 Sutton Boulevard, Maplewood; 314-960-5322 or www.hoffmanlachancefineart.com. Hours: 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Thurs.-Fri., noon-5 p.m. Sat and by appointment.
Sean Landers: 1991-1994, Improbable History This survey of relentlessly self-dissecting and blogosphere-portentous paintings, videos, sculptures and photographs by the New York-based conceptual artist Landers makes every attempt to get a hold of that elusive quality known as sincerity. Covering massive canvases, full legal pads and several years' worth of calendar pages with hand-scrawled text, Landers iterates himself as a desperately ambitious but ever-human everyman, a kind of modern-day St. Augustine confessing his trials with art and life in a mode of unedited profusion that traditional social courtesy was established to discourage. There's a sense of rigor in Landers' ability to tolerate himself, which is mirrored by the viewer's tolerance for the work — a rigor that most have perhaps become accustomed to through the sudden ubiquity of social media, modern memoirs and all the other contemporary variations of self-advertisement/acceptable voyeurism now available. In light of this "new normal" (term courtesy of Dick Cheney), Landers comes across as less transgressive than strangely classical — he uses paint and canvas, he's apologetic, and he references Blake, Narcissus and the lyric impulse. But is he sincere? He doesn't even claim to know. Critical to motivating his furious desire to excavate earnestness is Landers' fraught identity as a working-class Irish Catholic, a fact that makes him incapable of escaping the crushing guilt of having committed the ultimate transgression: becoming an artist. Also showing: Stephen Prina: Modern Movie Pop, an elusive multimedia installation that's half snow-drenched, half-rainbowed, with flickering images of winter and bright, wavering watercolors that suggest an encrypted message continually slipping between blithe naiveté and the fiercely cerebral. Through April 11 at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, 3750 Washington Boulevard; 314-535-4660 or www.contemporarystl.org. Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Wed.-Sat., 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sun.
