Jebrica to represent all WA-breds in Sunday's Longacres Mile (G3)
The richest field in Longacres Mile history—an aggregate $5,641,505—blasts off Sunday in the 77th renewal of Emerald Downs' premier event. Post time has been moved up slightly to 5:32 pm.
Awesome Gem accounts for nearly half the field's earnings with $2,851,370, but Gallant Son, Winning Machine, Hudson Landing and Assessment all have earned over $400,000, and every runner in the 11-horse field is over $100,000.
Trainers Jim Penney and Howard Belvoir, as usual, have entries in The Mile. Washington Hall of Fame trainer Penney saddles 15-to-1 Jebrica and Washington Hall of Fame finalist Howard Belvoir sends out 20-to-1 Assessment. Either horse might be worth a look, considering Penney has five Mile wins, more than any trainer in history, and Belvoir is the only trainer to win the race two straight years at Emerald Downs.
Jebrica drew post 9 and will be ridden by two-time Mile-winning jockey Juan Gutierrez. The stretch-running 4-year-old is the only Washington-bred in the race, and Penney said the gelding would benefit from a fast pace.
"The post-position we drew is alright," he said. "The main thing is to get a clean run into the first turn. He's been training well since his (July 28 allowance victory).
"We were glad to have the last race in him. We've said all along that we were pointing him for this race, so we feel he's at his best right now."
Critics might scoff at Jebrica's 81 Beyer in the 6-½ furlong race, but it's noteworthy that the son of Liberty Gold earned the biggest Beyer at the 2011 meet, a 98 in the 1-1/8 mile Emerald Derby that was two points higher than Awesome Gem's victory in The Mile.
Assessment exits the same race as Jebrica, finishing second while making his first start since November. The 8-year-old gelding is appearing in his fifth straight Mile, tying stable mate Wasserman for second most starts in the race. Kent Green, with six straight Mile appearances from 1987-92, holds the record.
Assessment, the 2009 Mile winner, drew post 6 and is ridden by Jennifer Whitaker.
"It's a great post-position," Belvoir said. "It's certainly better than the 12-post, which we drew when he won The Mile. He's going to have to use a little speed to save position, but I think he'll be fine.
"I just wish we had another race in him. He was really tired after his last race, but he's been training good since." $200,000 LONGACRES MILE (G3), SUNDAY, AUGUST 19

Carrabelle Harbor doesn't need to know that she's 6-to-1 on the morning line, or the likely fourth betting choice to win Sunday's $65,000 Emerald Distaff for older fillies and mares running 1-1/8 miles.
Unless, of course, she's superstitious and remembers that her last stakes win came in the 2011 Kent Handicap as the 6-to-1, fourth choice. While the stars' alignment might have little to do with a horse's chances, the pattern at least shows that Carrabelle Harbor shouldn't be dismissed Sunday, when she tries to upend Class Included's quest for back-to-back stakes wins. Trainer Doris Harwood said she's a believer.
"She's coming up to the race fit and ready," Harwood said. "She worked this morning, and couldn't be doing any better."
To add to the intrigue, Carrabelle Harbor will have a new, and incredibly talented pilot aboard.
"I'm really happy to have jockey David Flores," Harwood said. "I'm lucky to have him and his skills for the Distaff."
Flores, who ships north to ride Awesome Gem in the Longacres Mile (G3), is no stranger to Emerald Downs. The native of Tijuana, Mexico won both the 1996 Mile aboard Isitingood and last year's on Awesome Gem.

Sometimes, cake doesn't taste so sweet! Kelly Osbourne is furious at Lady Gaga after she tried to send her a birthday cake through her mom, Sharon Osbourne! Lady Gaga made an appearance on The X Factor UK and gave judge Sharon Osbourne a cake to celebrate Kelly Osbourne's 29
birthday! The gesture wasn't received well, with Kelly Osbourne responding on Twitter by tweeting: ""Not to be ungrateful but why would you send me a birthday cake via my MOTHER in a country half the world away? #JustSendItToME #LoveNotWar," along with some bad words I can't say. Lady Gaga responded by tweeting, "I didn't know it was your B-day until this afternoon. Meant as a peace offering. Happy Birthday." IKelly Osbourne's response made Lady Gaga's Little Monsters go NUTS. Kelly Osbourne tweeted, "Stefani Stop It! I live for a CAUSE not for the Applause!" OUCH! This isn't the first fight between these two ladies. The feud dates back to 2009 when Kelly Osbourne called Gaga a butterface and was bullied by her little monsters! All this over cake!
Can this girl do anything without having to check in with Kanye West? We're all familiar with Kim Kardashian's selfie that she took of herself that almost broke the internet, but now the real story behind the sexy picture is coming out! Kanye West revealed that his fiancée asked for his permission before sharing the photo on her Instagram account. Awe, I guess that's cute? In case you didn't know, when Kim Kardashian put up the picture, Kanye West tweeted, "HEADING HOME NOW." Kanye West said he
approved of the photo and was feeling Kim Kardashian's confidence just a few short months after delivering their daughter North West. But should she really have to get permission for sharing a sexy picture?
What definitely is cute, he just shared the fact that the second he laid eyes on Kim Kardashian he knew that he wanted to marry her. NOW THAT'S CUTE!
Jason Aldean
's tour bus ran over and killed a man early yesterday morning in Indiana! It happened around 1:30 in the morning! Jason Aldean's bus ran into a man who walked into the middle of the road. Jason Aldean was on the bus when the crash occurred. The bus driver wasn't at fault and did everything he could to try and stop the impact from happening! The victim was often seen walking around town, but as of right now it's unclear why he walked into traffic. Jason Aldean expressed his condolences online saying, "In all the years I've been touring and all the miles we've driven, nothing prepares you for something like this to happen." Imagine witnessing something like that!
Katy Perry want's everyone to put their clothes back on! During an interview, she said that everyone is getting naked in the entertainment business, explaining, "I mean, I've been naked before, but I don't feel like I have to always get naked to be noticed." Katy Perry refused to name anyone in particular but she suggested that she's talking about her fellow female artists. Could she be trying to send a message to Miley Cyrus, maybe Rihanna? Who knows! Katy Perry further tried to explain by saying, "I've taken it out here and there. And I'm not necessarily judging. I'm just saying sometimes it's nice to play that card but also it's nice to play other cards. And I know I have that sexy card in my deck but I don't always have to use that card." Here that ladies? Use your sexy card!
This sucks! When Charlie Hunnam dropped out of Fifty Shades Of Grey, there were talks that it sent producers into a panic attack. First to recast Charlie Hunnnam, which they've done, and two, making sure that the release date of the movie would stay on time! Well, even though producers found their new leading man, Jamie Dornan very quickly, it seems like it just wasn't enough. The changes to the movie have cost too much time, and the production has now been postponed by a month. Filming will now start on December 2nd, just in time for the holidays. So the question now is, will there be enough time for the movie to keep its current release date of August 1st, 2014? Or will that have to be pushed back also? Looks like we may have to wait a little bit longer!
Chris Brown
just got cut a HUGE break! If you missed it, yesterday I reported that he was arrested for an assault charge! Well, that charge has just been reduced from a FELONY to a MISDEMEANOR, and Chris Brown pled not guilty. Chris Brown was released without bail. He's also required to stay 100 yards away from the victim who he allegedly punched in the face. Chris Brown had also been ordered to take a drug test, but the judge just cancelled that order. The fight started the other night when the victim and his friend photobombed Chris Brown, who was posing for a picture with two girls. Chris Brown's friends are insisting that the fight wasn't over a photo but that the victim tried to force his way onto Chris Browns' tour bus and he was trying to stop a trespasser. Chris Brown DENIES punching the victim.
I can't believe this isn't real! The men of Duck Dynasty are known for a LOT of things, and one of those things are their lengthy beards! And it looks like they're contractually obligated to keep their beards at a certain length, according to beardless brother Alan! Alan shed light on the family tradition, saying they grow them out during hunting season, but the beards have became the show's signature, so now they have to be maintained all year-round. They even have to be a certain length! Put the clippers away!

text: The hidden censors of the internet censorship 20 May 09 by CJ Davies Journey with us to a state where an unaccountable panel of censors vets 95 per cent of citizens' domestic internet connections. The content coming into each home is checked against a mysterious blacklist by a group overseen by nobody, which keeps secret the list of censored URLs not just from citizens, but from internet service providers themselves. And until recently, few in that country even knew the body existed. Are we in China? Iran? Saudi Arabia? No - the United Kingdom, in 2009. This month, we ask: Who watches the Internet Watch Foundation? It was on December 5, 2008 that the foundation decided that the Wikipedia entry for The Scorpions' 1976 album Virgin Killer was illegal under British law. The album-sleeve artwork, showing a photo of a naked ten-year-old girl with a smashed-glass effect masking her genitalia, had been reported to the IWF via its public-reporting system the day before. It was deemed to fall under the classification of "Child Abuse Imagery" (CAI). And because the IWF blacklists such material, and works with ISPs to stop people accessing it, an estimated 95 per cent of residential web users were not only unable to access the band's Wikipedia entry, but also unable to edit the site at all. When Wired began investigating the foundation last December, our interest clearly lay not in advocating the use or distribution of child pornography. We simply wanted to know only what the Wikimedia Foundation, the owners of the Wikipedia, itself sought to know. "The major focus of our response was to publicise the fact of the block, with an emphasis on its arbitrariness and on the IWF's lack of accountability," says Wikimedia's general counsel Mike Godwin (incidentally famed for Godwin's Law, which he coined in 1990 and which states that "as a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1".) "When we first protested the block, their response was, 'We've now conducted an appeals process on your behalf and you've lost the appeal.' When I asked who exactly represented the Wikimedia Foundation's side in that appeals process, they were silent. It was only after the fact of their blacklist and its effect on UK citizens were publicised that the IWF appears to have felt compelled to relent. "If we had not been able to publicise what the IWF had done, I don't doubt that the block would be in place today." As it happened, the IWF reversed its decision a few days later, issuing a statement to the effect that, while it still considered the image to be technically illegal, it had evaluated the specific "contextual issues" of this landmark case and taken into account the fact that it was not hosted on a UK server. The incident marked a major step: the IWF had for once been held up to wider scrutiny. Concern about the IWF has been voiced by critics such as John Ozimek - political journalist and author of New Labour, New Puritanism - and translated into a more explicit concern: that its lack of accountability could be used as a method of sneaking state censorship through the back door. The relationship between the IWF and Home Office is particularly worthy of scrutiny, as Ozimek explains: "Neither has shown much interest in civil liberties. Few people who know about the net know much about the IWF, and those that do know it mostly only as a heroic body fighting child porn. It has thus been preserved from having to answer awkward questions about its legal qualifications for carrying out its role, its lack of public accountability and its failure to apply due process." "I think that so long as censorship decisions are being made by an unaccountable private entity," says Godwin, "the freedom of United Kingdom citizens is at risk."So how did we get here? In August 1996 - appalled by the distribution of child-abuse imagery on several newsgroups - Metropolitan Police chief inspector Stephen French sent an open letter to every ISP in the UK. "We are looking to you," French wrote, "to monitor your newsgroups, identifying and taking necessary action against those found to contain such material." It finished with a statement that was a game-changer: "We trust that with your co-operation and self-regulation it will not be necessary for us to move to an enforcement policy." In other words: you deal with this, or we'll deal with you. "There had been a failure to get industry consensus to act on the issue up to that point," remembers Keith Mitchell, who - as the head of Linx, the London Internet Exchange - was brought in to discuss the issue by the Department of Trade and Industry, alongside several major ISPs and representatives from the Internet Services Providers' Association (Ispa). Together they drew up a memorandum of understanding, a model for what would soon be relabelled the Internet Watch Foundation. The document was called the R3 Agreement. The three Rs were: "rating", the development of labelling to address the issue of "harmful and offensive" content; "reporting", a notice-and-take-down procedure to all ISPs hosting CAI in the UK; and "responsibility", the promotion of education about such issues. The categories still remain cornerstones of the expanded remit of today's IWF, which was (and is) self regulating. Trusting in this, the government left the ISPs to deal with the matter. "The IWF was originally very much seen as a positive measure to avoid a problem for the UK internet industry, rather than a coercive measure," explains Mitchell. "At first, the Home Office just seemed to be glad this problem was being taken care of for them. In terms of its original mission, I think that the IWF has done an excellent job of keeping CAI off UK-based servers." In 1998, the government carried out an independent review on how the IWF was working. The Home Office called in consultants Denton Hall and KMPG, notes were duly taken, and a "revamped" IWF was launched in 2000. "The IWF had reached a point at which it needed to be seen to be more independent of the industry," explains Roger Darlington, former head of research at the Communication Workers Union, who was brought in as an IWF independent chair. "They weren't terribly clear how it was going to work," he remembers. "I said, 'Look, we should publish all our board papers and all our board minutes.' That caused a number of people to swallow hard. But we did it." Read page 2 123 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

It's a good start. Streets are maybe a bit regular but that's, of course, up to your builders. Paint? Brrrr...good luck!
I thought I'd post a project I just started. I've been working on a new novel and the more I wrote, the more I realized I really needed a map of the city the novel takes place in. So here is the rough rough start of the city.
Started in Word. I'll finish it in Paint.
And the picture is kinda huge. hmm
It's a good start. Streets are maybe a bit regular but that's, of course, up to your builders. Paint? Brrrr...good luck!
I was worried about the streets. but I think they'll work just fine. There the "main' streets of the city. I won't add in any of the smaller streets. The more i work on the city though, I'm wondering if it might be easier to print it out and add in the buildings by hand.
That could work. I'd think the regularity of the lines on your print-out would clash somewhat with the hand-drawn lines you make for your building. What about printing it, overlaying it with a blank sheet, and then redrawing (tracing) your lines onto the new sheet and adding buildings? That way your map would have consistent line-quality throughout. Plus your map would be "hand drawn", which gets you much love (and REP!) around here. I started out my big city in PS and eventually just drew it out by hand...it was easier that way for some reason.
I wouldn't want to do it in Paint, but Illustrator (or Inkscape, a free alternative) is great for creating building shapes and rotating them into place in your map.
I've done just that! Printed it out the other day and drew it on a large sheet of paper. So I can add in farm land and such. I've also redrawn the city streets. They aren't so straight now. Now it's a mater of adding in buidlings and then deciding how to lable the map. I'll have to post a picture soon
Looking forward to it!
It's surprising how much you can do with Paint if you try, but I find that it's generally not worth it. Free programs like GIMP and Paint.NET (and Inkscape, as mearrin mentioned) make your life much easier, and have the advantage of being free. There's a bit of a learning curve, but nothing that can't be overcome by easy-to-come-by tutorials and a bit of experimentation.

SPRINGFIELD, Va. (WUSA) -- A Springfield, Va. man was convicted on Wednesday for pretending he was a teen girl named "Tracy" to get boys to send him sexually explicit images. He would then send the photos to other people, according to authorities.
After a bench trial, 20-year-old Faisal Hashime was convicted of three counts of production of child pornography and two counts of distribution of child pornography. He pleaded guilty to possessing and receiving child pornography earlier this month.
The production charges carry between 15 and 30 years in prison, the distribution charges carry between 5 and 20 years and the possession and reception charges carry a maximum of five years.
The investigation reportedly started after Hashime emailed child porn to an undercover agent. Officers acting on a search warrant found several emails from Hashime to minor boys where he pretended to be an attractive teen girl named Tracy. Through flirtation, explicit conversation and encouragement, he was able to get the boys to take and send photos of their genitalia and their naked bodies. Hashime would then send them to other people.
Authorities say during a search at his home, Hashime confessed to being Tracy online.
Hashime has a sentencing hearing on December 7.

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Trevor Crowe doubled home Jonathan Villar with
the winning run in the bottom of the ninth as Houston topped Minnesota, 6-5,
in the finale of a three-game series. Villar hit a leadoff single against
Brian Duensing (6-2), and was sacrificed to second by Jose Altuve before
scoring when Crowe's hit to left rolled deep enough to plate the speedy Villar
to end the contest. It made a winner of Erik Bedard (4-10), who allowed
three hits -- including the game-tying homer to Ryan Doumit in the top of
the ninth -- and two runs over 2 2/3 relief innings.

Actress/singer Krysta Rodriguez has dropped out of a leading role in the "How I Met Your Mother" spin-off.
The "Smash" star was set to play Juliet, the best friend of lead actress Greta Gerwig's character, in "How I Met Your Dad," but she exited the pilot project after changes were made to the script following the first table read, according to Deadline.com.
The spin-off, which stars Gerwig, Drew Tarver, Nick D'Agosto and Andrew Santino, will center on a group of friends living in New York and follow the main character's journey to meeting her future husband.
The "How I Met Your Mother" series finale will air on CBS on Monday.

Richest eight percent own 50 percent of the world's wealth
Newscast Media HOUSTON—According to a recent report released by the United
Nations Development Program (UNDP) the richest eight per cent of the world's
population earns half of the world's total income, while the remaining 92 per cent of
people are left with the other half.
Last week, Oxfam released a report estimating that the share of global wealth owned
by the world's 85 wealthiest people is roughly that owned by the poorest 3.5 billion.
That leaves a tiny fraction for the world's poorest people. Indeed, the share of global
wealth controlled by the world's poorest thirty per cent fell from just 1.5 per cent in
1988 to one and a quarter (1.25) per cent in 2008.
Evidence suggests that where economic power is heavily concentrated in the hands
of a few, political power may also be entrenched in the hands of elites with undue
influence. This then creates structural barriers to the promotion of greater equality;
for example, through regressive taxation or under-investment in public goods and
infrastructure such as education or public health systems and services.
High inequalities may also be associated with high crime rates and political
unrest. The resulting risk-levels may then distort public spending towards security
measures and away from those essential for human development progress.
The Report documents high rates of inequality in the non-income dimensions of
well-being – such as health, nutrition, and education – despite improvements in
national averages of progress in these areas. It calls for increasing public expenditure
on basic services, with the aim of achieving universal provisioning, coupled with a
particular emphasis on the groups currently experiencing the greatest disadvantages.

27 March 2012
Team spirit is a requirement – operations manager Erica Barkasz works closely with her colleagues – pictured here, Daniel Fisher.
The first and last thing that Erica Barkasz does is to look at the logbook and schedule in the control room. Here she can see which of the 15 satellites monitored from Weilheim are currently over the ground station or will be in the next few hours and which antenna will receive its signals and forward the data to the German Space Operations Center at DLR Oberpfaffenhofen.
An electrical engineer manages mission operations at the DLR ground station in Weilheim
Erica Barkasz is an early riser; her working day starts at six in the morning in the control room of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) ground station at Weilheim in Upper Bavaria. A petite woman with Hungarian and Slovenian roots, who grew up in the Argentinian capital of Buenos Aires, manages mission operations here and controls communications between the antennas in Weilheim and the satellites it serves.
Idyllic and high-tech
From the air, white dots are visible against a green background. On the ground, a country road winds its way through fields in ever-tighter curves. One final bend and there it is – the smallest DLR site appears – Weilheim. At the heart of the site there are twelve highly visible, white-painted antennas of various sizes, which are operated and monitored from the control room. Around the clock, Earth observation satellites fly over the site at regular intervals and both they and geostationary telecommunications satellites transmit their signals from altitudes ranging between 200 and 36,000 kilometres in seven different frequency bands. "Two special cases are NASA's LRO Moon orbiter and ESA's Integral gamma-ray observatory, which we also look after," Erica Barkasz recounts. The lunar orbiter has been travelling around Earth's natural satellite since June 2009; the Integral spacecraft has been orbiting Earth since October 2002 on an elliptical path at an altitude that varies between 9000 and 153,000 kilometres.
Barkasz has ten minutes to 'see', track, manage and control a satellite by sending and receiving commands. Everything is teamwork – and international – the DLR ground station is integrated into a worldwide network of satellite stations. Weilheim is largely responsible for the mission operations of the current German TanDEM-X radar satellite mission. With TanDEM-X, Earth's land surface is being fully mapped in 3D and at high resolution for the first time.
"Our control room is always busy; we operate a three-shift system. The early shift begins at 06:30, the late shift at 14:30 and the night shift at 22:30," the 39-year-old explains. "If I start at six in the morning and go home at three in the afternoon, I will have spoken with colleagues from all three shifts. We can discuss questions or problems concerning the operation of the satellites directly," says the energetic manager, describing her working day. The first and last thing she does is to look at the logbook. Logbooks are used not just in shipping and aviation, but also for satellite operations.
From Argentina to Upper Bavaria
Erica Barkasz has found her dream job. The electrical engineering graduate took telecommunications as a special subject during her studies in Buenos Aires, then worked for the US company Emerging Markets Communications Inc. (EMC). During this period, she came a few times to Raisting, very close to DLR Weilheim. EMC has operated a ground station there since 2006, serving telecommunications satellites. Barkasz was enthusiastic: "I thought, this region is so beautiful I want to come and live here. I also wanted to work with satellites," she says and laughs. Weilheim was "so safe" in comparison to Buenos Aires: "Here I didn't have to worry about going out on my own," the engineer says. She is a nature lover and keen sportswoman, and speaks fluent Spanish, English, and now, good German as well. The only problem was that she still had to find the right job. In summer 2010, she got the opportunity to work as a systems engineer at the DLR ground station. Six months later, she was able to take over as operations manager.
It's all a question of software
Her favourite activity is 'trouble-shooting' – that is, 'managing problems' concerning the control of the antennas. "We are just implementing some new software which we can use to control all the antennas. Our aim is a unified system with a consistent structure for every satellite mission we work with," the engineer explains. Although the software itself is more complex, it works more reliably and is simpler to operate.
The ground station in Weilheim is part of the German Space Operations Center in Oberpfaffenhofen; the DLR personnel in Weilheim receive their information about the satellites from there. Erica Barkasz: "We have the antennas for the transfer of telecommand data and telemetry, and send this information back to Oberpfaffenhofen."

JAKE COYLE, The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Dave Chappelle's hesitant, slow-motion comeback reached a big-tent crescendo when the comic performed a nearly two-hour set at Radio City Music Hall.
Chappelle, who famously abandoned his acclaimed and lucrative Comedy Central show in 2005, has largely shunned the public eye since last year resuming his stand-up career. In his wide-ranging act Wednesday, Chappelle made up for lost time, catching up to a decade of racial and societal change, skipping from Herman Cain to Donald Sterling.
The sold-out crowd howled when he said, "I'm just back out here earning enough money to disappear again."
The show was the first of nine scheduled for Chappelle at Radio City, easily the biggest platform in years for the 40-year-old comedian.

IBM is rising up to the challenge to meet customer needs of purchasing integrated security solutions with its recently announced IBM Security Tiger Team. Last year IBM announced its security framework in order to unify its security message to the market. Now, IBM has made a bold move by creating a cross IBM Security Tiger Team, run by Kent Blossom, Vice President IBM Security Solutions. The Tiger Team will sell the entire set of IBM security capabilities spanning software, hardware and services, represented in the IBM Security Framework. The team will assess risk and compliance issues facing their client's business and develop the IBM solution to move a client into a secure environment. EMA says, " For IBM, this is an important step toward revealing the company as the large and powerful security vendor it truly is."

The Employer Award of Excellence honors private sector employers that are actively involved with their local workforce board and have made a positive impact on employers, workers and the community.
When Caterpillar built its new $200 million state-of-the-art hydraulic excavator manufacturing facility in Victoria, it used the services of Workforce Solutions to find many of its skilled workers. Workforce Solutions provided Caterpillar with nearly 60 informational, testing and hiring sessions, helping to recruit and assess future workers during construction of the 1.1 million square-foot facility.
Once fully operational, approximately 800 people will work at the Caterpillar North American Hydraulic Excavator facility, tripling the current capacity of hydraulic excavators produced by Caterpillar in the United States and doubling the number of Caterpillar employees in the country who make excavators. Caterpillar worked with Workforce Solutions, Victoria College and TWC to craft an $800,000 Skills Development Fund grant to train more than 380 new employees.

Born on May 9, 1936 in Salford, Lancashire, England, Finney was raised by his father, Albert Sr., a bookie, and his mother, Alice. Educated at Salford Grammar School, he failed his final GCE exams in a whopping five subjects. From the time he was 12 years old, Finney was performing in school plays, logging some 15 productions until the age of 17. Soon he found himself honing his craft at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where he won the Gertrude Lawrence Scholarship during his second and third terms while attending alongside Peter O'Toole, Alan Bates and Brian Bedford.

Fernando Verdasco reached his first Grand Slam semifinal when he defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 at the Aussie Open. He faces his top seeded compatriot Rafael Nadal for a spot in Sunday's final.
In his post-match presser, the 25-year old gave credit to sponsor adidas for their unrelenting support including the opportunity to train in Las Vegas with Gil Reyes:
I need to say thanks because I didn't say before to adidas. Is because of my brand, no, that I had this chance to be with Gil in Las Vegas. You know, there is a development program for the players of adidas, you know, with Gil Reyes. They help us so much.
Some players, they don't like maybe or they don't want to do it. But me, because I don't have coach, you know, I decide to go there. Also because Agassi was my idol when I was young, I decide that it was, for sure, a good experience, that I will learn so much. So I took that decision.
Right now I'm feeling much better than before. They help me so much. They treat me unbelievable there. You know, I can't wait to go again there to start practicing again.
As I wrote about previously, the adidas-sponsored trip to Las Vegas also allowed Nando to spend some time learning from his childhood idol Andre Agassi:
[We spoke] about a lot of things. It was about the tournaments, how I should organize my year of tournaments. You know, I was asking him, you know, "This tournament, you think I need to play, I don't need to play, I need to practice these weeks, this week no. He was just giving me advices about, you know, what he thinks about all this, about what tournaments I need to play or which weeks I need to practice and be ready for the big tournaments. Also, after, about tactics, no, and about my game, how he thinks that I should play more and take more advantage of my game.I guess if you're going to learn about winning, especially in Oz, you might as well speak with a 4-time champ like AA.
You know, we was speaking for two hours, so we spoke a lot. But he really help me so much. I'm so happy to had that conversation with him.
I'd be curious to know more about adidas' development program, how it works, and what they offer in terms of support for their ballers and, also, why more of their ballers don't take advantage of it. I bet there are requirements and stipulations that may be viewed as restrictive.
But based on Nando's recent results, I'd say their other ballers should think about jumping onto this bandwagon.

As I live in SF, watching the game starting at 7:30(10:30 east coast) was not a problem. Game was in LA and the Spurs dominated winning by 26( 116-90). Paul & Griffin are not enough to bring this team a championship. If they are happy being the better team in LA and no longer the Lakers, then good for them.
I don't know if Danny tried to trade KG and PP to LAC but the LAC should have offered us the moon...a selection of any players except Paul & Griffin & tossed in some draft picks too because with KG and PP too, they had a chance to win a title !!!

Board to revisit MiraCosta president's raise
The MiraCosta College board on Tuesday will discuss whether President Francisco Rodriguez received an unauthorized raise in 2009, contributing to his position as the top-compensated community college district leader in the county.
When Rodriguez started working for the district in March 2009, his contract as approved by the board placed his base salary at $256,208 through June 30, 2010. Four months later, when the faculty received a 1 percent raise, Rodriguez began receiving a salary of $258,771, which he has collected ever since.
The administration says his pay was linked to the faculty's, but none of the board's agendas or minutes from that time period indicate Rodriguez was getting a raise. After approving raises for faculty and other employee groups, the records show the board at that time approved raises for each individual dean and vice president — but not for Rodriguez.
Should Francisco Rodriguez forfeit his raise?
Yes 62% (50)
No 38% (31)

MiraCosta board member Ron Ruud said the district's board was unaware of the raise until three years later. He told The Watchdog he believes Rodriguez should not have received the raise and that even if he should have received it, the board never approved it as required at a public meeting.
Ruud, who formerly worked as an attorney representing school districts, said Rodriguez's salary should be reduced back to $256,208 and he should pay back all of the excess funds he received over more than three years, including increases to his benefits as a result of the higher pay.
"Since there is no evidence that the board ever authorized a salary increase and, further, that the public ever had notice of such an increase, my position has always been that the salary being paid be reduced to conform to the contract and all overpayments since July 1, 2009, be repaid," Ruud said.
The Watchdog noticed the discrepancy following its December report that found Rodriguez received the greatest compensation of any community college district leader in the county, as the leader of the smallest community college district in the county. His total compensation in 2012 was $314,574, including $19,500 in cellphone, car and business expense allowances, $18,114 in pension contributions and $18,189 in health insurance premiums.
When approached for comment from Rodriguez, his spokeswoman, Cheryl Broom, said it was a board issue and suggested calling board President David Broad. She said the matter will be discussed in closed session Tuesday, and any decision made regarding the president's contract will be shared with the public when the regular board meeting starts at 3 p.m. She said that the higher pay was a cost-of-living adjustment, not a raise.
Broad, like Ruud, was not on the board when Rodriguez's contract was approved. He said when Rodriguez was hired the district had historically tied the raises of its president to the faculty's raises. Broad said Rodriguez should have received the raise when the faculty did, but said it was unclear to him whether the board properly ratified the raise after notifying the public.
"The 1 percent raise went to everybody on the academic salary schedule. He was on the academic schedule, he received it," Broad said. "The ambiguity is whether that was enough reporting, of public reporting. That's where I see the ambiguity."
Broad declined to say how he feels the situation should be addressed ahead of Tuesday's meeting.
Board member George McNeil, who had just joined the board when Rodriguez was hired, said it was a difficult time for the district, which had gone through two different interim presidents and was dealing with several lawsuits. He said the board did not know Rodriguez would receive the raise.
"We didn't know the 1 percent was coming to him, it was simply that he was a part of the (faculty) group, and it didn't amount to a lot of money anyway," McNeil said.

Pinks For The Masses
When the timing gear at Memphis Motorsports Park was taken out of action by rain last September during a production of Pinks All Out, Rich Christensen didn't let that stop him. Thinking on his feet, he decided to run the entire event arm-drop style, with spotters at the finish line holding flags to announce the winner. The improvised format was such a success, Christensen is taking the idea, called ArmDrop Live, on the road for 2009. The ArmDrop Live tour will not be televised like Pinks or Pinks All Out, but it will allow for all kinds of whacky racing, including bikes, mopeds, snowmobiles, and ATVs. Oh yeah, and cars too. Christensen says come on out, and bring your video camera. He expects lots of bragging fodder to end up on YouTube. Interested? Check it out on www.armdroplive.com. Here's the tentative list of dates remaining for the 2009 Arm Drop Live tour:
|May 1-2

Scale Small-Block V-8
After running a short piece in the April issue about James Weber and his miniature homebuilt 5.655-cubic-inch blown V-8 model (yes, it actually runs!), we got this tip from Dave Ward of Simi Valley, California. He turned us onto Jim Moyer's website, which is stuffed full of real running miniature engines, including this 1/6th scale model of a '64 vintage 365hp, 327-inch Corvette mill. Quoting Moyer from his website: "The head and block began as billet aluminum that have been painstakingly machined on a Bridgeport-style mill. The 5-main crank has real babbit bearings, while the cam is a scale 30-30 Duntov."
Moyer builds all his scale engines himself at home in Boyds, Washington. It's a hobby he first started in 1964 with a four-cylinder overhead cam design of his own called The Coyotee [sic]. Moyer even has YouTube video of his latest creation (shown), which sounds pretty much like a hyper-active chainsaw on a rampage. All the parts in the miniature small-block are exquisitely crafted, and apparently work as well as the original full-sized pieces. Moyer also does work for hire, including welding and machining fabrication for prototype development and small-batch production runs.

Hot cars and rock 'n' roll go together like bacon and eggs, so it's not uncommon to see the pairing of music star and hot car on a regular basis. What you don't see all that often is a seasoned road warrior like Chris Duarte getting down and dirty with a real '68 396 SS Camaro, then writing a high-octane song about it. The title track of Chris Duarte's new CD, 396, is autobiographical, and describes Duarte's love affair with his real life 375-horse '68 SS Camaro. (Chorus: "Runnin' wide open, flyin' on the track, nothin's gonna stop me, gonna get my fix, in my 396...") The title track is a full-throttle Chevy anthem that would sound right at home on a new Camaro commercial-if Chevy were actually to make one. The rest of Duarte's CD is pedal to the metal in the blues/rock tradition of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rick Derringer, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix, with a little bit of Aerosmith and Foghat thrown in. Duarte is quite the axe slinger, and despite wielding his Stratocaster with deadly precision over the years, has somehow missed the fame and fortune bestowed on much lesser guitarists.
If you like your rock 'n' roll served up hard core and old school, 396 is the high-octane fix you're looking for. Load it in the CD player in your garage on a Saturday morning, and pretend like it's 1977 all over again. You can find 396 at www.cdfuse.com for $16 (plus $4 S&H).

Rant Of The Month
Gimme Different
Let's see some race gas and methanol builds. It's getting old seeing all the horsepower being squeezed out of pump gas. It would be awesome seeing a supercharged methanol engine on a dyno. It would just be something different. Nitrous motors would be the coolest to see built. I am just saying every issue has "650hp on pump gas" on the front cover. You have made it easy to make pump gas power. Now let's see something exotic. Maybe throw in some foreign stuff. (NOT JAPANESE!) I have not yet seen a diesel built. If I pissed someone off, good. That means I have someone's attention.Keith GentryGrant, LA
You have our attention. Check out Mike Racke's twin-turbo biodiesel '70 Chevelle on page 32. Is that different enough for you?
Being A Mentor
I just got my latest issue of PHR in the mail. As always, the first thing I read is Bangin' Gears (really). I must say when I start reading it, there were many things I could relate to in my own childhood. I'm sure there are many other people who are going to relate also.
You hit it right on the head about our generation viewing cars as an art form, and some people just not getting it. Kids today think a Honda with a huge muffler (that sounds like a bad lawn mower) is the cat's meow. They have no idea what they missed. I have memories of my dad sticking a 360 in a'68 Ford pickup, and teaching me how to speed shift. My first car was a '74 Olds Cutlass Supreme; I took the rocket 350 out and stuck a 454 in it. Now that was fun.
I'm fortunate that I have a 15-year-old son who enjoys cars as much as myself. I guess it helps that we are doing a father/son restoration on a '72 Camaro RS. He loves going to the local cruise night and bigger car shows. We also go to the local dragway, and we always try to bring one of his friends who has never been to the drags before. It really is surprising how many kids don't even know what a dragway looks like. That is a shame.

Kevin, you're doing a great service to your son and his friends by being a muscle car mentor to them. Keep up the good work, and enjoy the story on Bill Trovato's 401ci Olds on page 72.

Makeover Madness
I've read your rag off and on for over 25 years. The latest issue [April '09] was the best in a long time. The makeover tips for the Laguna were right on target. They can be applied to any car, and anybody can afford them. I hope this will encourage people to build their cars rather than pay someone else. I'm also looking forward to seeing what folks send in for their muscle car projects. Keep up the good work!
Rick Allemandi

The work on the Laguna continues in this issue on page 60, with a bolt-on rear suspension from Global West. Also, we're starting to get lots of mail for the reader project car issue in August. You won't want to miss that.

1969 All Over Again
Enjoyed your Bangin' Gears 1969 [editorial]. I was born in '62, and have similar memories. On one family vacation around that time, I can remember crowding into my aunt and uncle's Vista Cruiser and vividly remember going by a big glass building in Lansing, Michigan, proudly displaying the name OLDSMOBILE. One of my great-uncles retired from there. He pulled his Airstream trailer with a 455 '68 Delta 88. I ended up with a '68 442 for a drag car.
Another vivid memory is around Christmas of 1969. My dad brought home our brand-new '70 LeSabre with the high-compression 350 engine with factory dual exhaust. Wow, did those exhaust vapors look cool coming out the back on a frigid December day in North Dakota. The body has been put out to pasture, but the engine is still alive and well in an orange '63 Dodge Town Wagon that I named the PT Bruzr. I just celebrated a 30-year anniversary with my four-speed '70 Chevelle SS396 that I bought in January of 1979, at the ripe old age of 16. Forty years later, history seems to be repeating itself with Detroit's unbelievably hot cars, but again with a black cloud looming on the horizon. If I plan things right again, I might be able to buy a nice six-speed '09 Challenger R/T-in 2018.

Hey Dave, sounds like 1969 (or 1970 in your case) is only as far away as your garage. Thanks for sharing those memories.
Boss Man
I enjoyed the article about the '69 Boss 429 Mustang ["Total Performance," April '09]. Those are always nice to see. There were a couple of inaccuracies in the article. 1) To the best of my knowledge, Kar Kraft in Brighton, Michigan, did not engineer the 429 installation. That was handled by Ford Engineering and the pilot plant. 2) In the truest sense, final assembly did not occur at Kar Kraft, but at Dearborn Assembly. You're probably asking yourself, who is this Bruce Guertin, and how would he know these tidbits of information? Well, I worked at Deaborn Assembly from January 2, 1968 until September 7, 1970. My job was in the inspection department. Specifically, I was the afternoon shift manual shift roll test driver during that time. At the end of the final line, the cars were driven off the line, across an aisle, to the front-end alignment station. There, the wheel toe-in was set, and the windshield wipers were installed. Beyond this point, there were four roller chassis dyno-like stations where the cars were "driven" to check things like speedo accuracy, steering function, transmission operation, electrical items, and look for leaks (the 429 had lots of leaks).
There were three roller stations for the auto trans cars, and one for the stick-shift cars. Stick shift is where I worked. Approximately 17 cars per hour were manual shift, and I was expected to drive them all. This meant I got to drive Boss 302s, 429s, and 428 CJs with, and without the Drag Pak. This was an exciting place for a 20-year-old Z-28 owner to work. Originally, all Boss 429s came down the line with a 428 installed (all 428s should have had these shock towers. Plug changes would have been a lot easier). We then "test drove" them, and they went to Kar Kraft where the engines were changed out, and the cars returned to Dearborn Assembly. Back at the assembly plant, we "test drove" them again, the Boss 429 fender sticker and window stickers were applied, and they went on the rail cars.
After a short period of time, the 428s were no longer installed, and the engine-less cars were rolled off the final line, and shipped to Kar Kraft. We got them back for testing in the usual manner when the new engines were installed just like before. I had the misfortune to wreck a Boss 429 coming off the rollers one day in a fit of teenage brain fade. It was a black one, and I hit a white Mustang broadside after I touched the brake and jumped the car off the rollers. There's lots more I can tell you about, like melted grilles, tail lights, and how one car had all its paint "blown off" in the car wash area.
Bruce GuertinAuburndale, FL
We really enjoyed your letter, Bruce, and thanks for the clarification from someone who was actually there.
"I had the misfortune to wreck a Boss 429 coming off the rollers one day in a fit of teenage brain fade."

Somehow and with out proper warning it's fall. I remember feeling somewhere in August, yeah I'm ready for summer to be done. And well, that was a lie. I LIED. I'm just not ready to be done. Even though fall is perhaps my favorite season I kind of want another month of warm weather.
As summers go it wasn't half bad. The weather was not grand but like I kept saying, it made it easier to be inside working on the school if it wasn't pretty and sunny outside. The school took a lot of my time but I am perfectly happy to admit that it was worth it.
The days were long and the nights short as usual here. This is the first year where I fell exhausted in to bed while the sun was still shining. I usually fight it. Not this year I was so tired!
We had birds, about 30 this year. 20 some chickens, turkeys and geese. The geese worked the garden over pretty good but they have been harvested now. I'll just put it this way: they ate just about everything the slugs didn't but they sure will be tasty for Christmas.
The only hale and hearty crops I grew this year were-
- Sugar Snap Peas-successive planting and an expanded growing area
- Carrots-planted early and successively we were munching carrots by early July and still have lots to go
- Greens-mustard hit early on and we still have kale going strong
- Potatoes-wah always a nice haul
- Basil-grown in the house we have pesto put away for winter and more still to make
- Green Beans-grown in the house and green house we've enjoy this rare summer crop a LOT this summer-one in three years is a green bean year up here
- slugs, snails and aphids-protein for birdies
We lost our lovely yellow dog, Kami. I miss her. And that could pass along with summer, I'd like to miss her less.
But with fall comes hot days and cold crispy nights. The stars and moon are a fresh joy to us because the nights are dark again. Crops are being hauled in. Preserved. Gardens composted. Birds harvested. A tucking in if you will. Schedules are resumed and the rhythm is set. That I look forward to. A certain sense of calm as the days settle in. So perhaps I'm ready after all, for harvests, dark nights and a dependable rhythm.
How about you? Are you ready, when you truly get to the essence of what change will entail, are you ready to move along and embrace what's next? Or are you fighting it? I'd like to hear about it.
To help make the transition to fall a happy and fun time I decided to host a giveaway, brought to you by ME! And also because I hit 200 followers! I'm giving away a 'treasure', which is my way of saying, thrifted. In my opinion these are the best to give and get anyway. So the prize package is a surprise, fun! I've picked a few of my favorite treasures to bestow upon ONE lucky follower! It will run from the time this goes live to the end of Just Another Meatless Monday on Labor Day.
The details:
- you must be a follower to enter this contest-plain and simple if you don't appear under the followers button you can't enter-feed burner doesn't count this time folks
- leave a comment on changes in your life this fall
- if you blog roll me leave an extra comment

MANASSAS, Va., (WUSA) -- "I want you to start your seam on your pillow," says MaryAnn Campbell.
The students and instructors at Sew Social take their stitching seriously.
So, Living Smart sent the two sew socialites, MaryAnn Campbell and Roxie Poynor, the GeMagic to see whether it will leave them spellbound.
You're supposed to be able to add sparkle to almost anything, jeans, purses, belts. We'll see.
The GeMagic is like a mini-sewing machine for your jewels and other stones. To use it you size up the stone.
"When you let go the stone is right there with the prong sticking out," MaryAnn says.
Then line it up.
"It's very simple, you just put it down in the fabric and you push very lightly. Then you lift and the stone is affixed, and in the back the prongs are pushed together," she says.
Roxie is a couture fashion instructor who works with all kinds of intricate material. She used it on a belt, on lace and a purse.
"It seals really nicely," she says.
MaryAnn founded Sew Social, and used the handheld GeMagic on her denim creation.
"Use the setter tool, fix the size you need, go ahead and press down, MaryAnn says.
She says you'll have to press a little harder on thicker materials like denim, but overall it's still easier and quicker.
"It could actually take you a couple of hours just to put that few a beads on because you're sewing one at a time," she says.
These two threaders were skeptical when they first got the $20 product.
"I've used a lot of tools like that that proclaim they're gonna do this, and they don't and you're disappointed," she says.
But it turns out, what they turned out with GeMagic has them convinced of one thing.
"Would you try it again?" asks Living Smart's Lesli Foster.
"Yeah, we will use it," says MaryAnn.
"I really would. I enjoyed it," says Roxie.

One-Sided Magnet and Plate
Application ID: 213
Permanent magnets with a one-sided flux have many uses. The one-sided flux behavior is obtained by giving the magnet a magnetization that varies in the lateral direction.
This model shows this technique to model a cylindrical one-sided permanent magnet. A special technique to model thin sheets of high permeability material was used to model a thin metal plate next to the magnet. This circumvents the difficulty of volumetric meshing of thin extended structures in 3D.

Nice border
So because I was lacking inspiration for the map I am currently working on and the fact that this challenge was such a cool one I decided to try it. This is the first time I have done any of the month challenges, I hope every one likes it.
I am doing a map for the book 'The Ordinary Princess' by M. M. Kaye, it's a fantastic but sadly underrated fairy tale about a young princess named Amethyst but everyone calls her Amy. When Amy was a baby she was cursed/blessed by her fairy godmother to be simply Ordinary. She isn't like her sisters who are all fair with long golden hair and complexions of a rose petal. As she grows up her complexion is rough and her hair mousey brown. After she is unable to attract a suitable husband she goes out on her own and becomes a kitchen maid in a neighboring kingdom (Ambergeldar) where she makes friends with a charming young man named Peregrine.
For this map I wanted to do something very soft. I am also trying out a few new things for this map. Some of the element in this map will be directly out of the book but other things are only mentioned in by the book.

I like the border so far as well And that book sounds really good, I may have to check it out some time. GOOD LUCK ON THIS CHALLENGE
Looks great so far, and I think it's a great story to work from!

It look good so far but is it just me or your title look squeezed?
I agree with Azelor, the title looks too tall for its width… I like the font choice, it's very suitable for the theme, but it'd look better somewhere around 80% height, I think. If that is the original height of the font, that is.
Otherwise, looking good so far
Those mountains looks so creamy soft I want to sleep on them. The main thing that doesn't work for me on the forest is the trunks, the eveness and similarity almost make them look more like a raised plateau rather than a forest, though I like the subtle light and dark on the top.
The forests look flat on top, and the presentation of the 'trunks' seem lacking, somehow.
Why not try Tolkien styled forests. Here's a link to an old map of mine that uses what I call Tolkien style forests, I called the Slave Trader's Map. These weren't brushes, I actually drew that little forest entirely by hand, tree by tree. Although this style of forest is completely different from yours, perhaps you'll want to maintain the simplicity of your style, but pair up your verticle lines closer to appear as wider trunks, then vary the space between trunks.

Lets talk rangefinders. I'm it the market for one. Thinking about a Leupold. I want to spend $400 or less and I want it to work. If my target is 450+ yards I don't shoot. I'm not sure if max. range distance specified on products is the truth or
not. What says you?
not. What says you?


text: That looks really superb. I tried a photo or two but I could not find the copyright info. If some of them are copyright and others are not then how can you tell. It seems odd if they are saying you have to credit a public domain picture. Good form agreed, but you cant impose anything on a public domain work. I definitely could have done with these a year or two ago when writing my terrain app.

Meridian, Mississippi The Meridian-Lauderdale County NAACP will host a community forum on Monday night to discuss ongoing concerns over the alleged school-to-jail pipeline.
This past week, Newscenter 11 reported a federal judge signed off on a decree that will force the Meridian Public School District to more closely examine a student's misbehavior before removing them from school. That decree will be discussed in detail during the meeting.
It is set for 6:30 in the evening at First Union Baptist Church in Meridian.
