Ford Motor Co. said Thursday that it lost $123 million in the second quarter due mainly to the costs of shedding personnel as the nation's second-biggest automaker signaled it plans additional steps in its restructuring effort.
The loss of 7 cents per share for the April-June period contrasts with a profit of $946 million, or 47 cents per share, in the second quarter of last year. Revenue fell to $41.97 billion from $44.55 billion.
Wall Street had been expecting a profit of 12 cents per share, according to a survey by Thomson Financial.
The company said it had a pretax loss of $797 million in North America, an improvement over last year's $907 million loss in the second quarter due mainly to cost reductions, higher sales incentives and adverse foreign currency exchange rates.
"We've seen an improvement in North America results in the second quarter, but the external factors we face aren't going to get any easier," Chairman and CEO Bill Ford said in a statement.
Analysts have criticized the company for keeping quiet on its restructuring progress, but Bill Ford said the company will discuss "additional actions" within the next 60 days.
The company took a charge of $171 million, or 6 cents per share, to shed employees at plants it is idling. It also took a related charge of $315 million, or 11 cents per share, due to pension curtailments due to employee buyouts in the second quarter.
But the charges were partially offset by a gain of $148 million, or 8 cents per share, due to a gain that Mazda Motor Corp. took on the transfer of its pension liabilities to the Japanese government. Ford owns about a third of Mazda. Also offsetting the charges was a favorable adjustment of $146 million, or 5 cents per share, to a $1.7 billion charge for layoffs and termination packages in the first quarter, the company said.
Ford Reports $123M 2nd Quarter Loss

Author has written 27 stories for Star Wars, Star Wars, Avatar: Last Airbender, Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, G-Gundam, Neopets, Final Fantasy XII, Legend of Zelda, and Portal.
I'm just a (mostly) harmless geek who has the dangerous tendency to write and draw when she's bored. I enjoy producing work that uplifts, cheers, and inspires people, while at the same time being really funny and weird and sometimes epicsauce.
I'm cosmicfire918 on Neopets, and sometimes I write for the Neopian Times.
You can find me on deviantArt and tumblr under the surfersquid handle.
All thumbnails for my stories are illustrations by myself; they can be found in my dA gallery or tumblr blog. Stories in the same series use the same thumbnails.
I also write original fiction! You can find my work on Amazon and Lulu, under the name T. K. Arispe.
Note: All of my Star Wars fanfiction takes place in the older canon, before George Lucas decided to separate it from the newer stuff. I'm too lazy to catch up on so much new material, but sometimes I just gotta write something about classic Star Wars characters. If it looks like I haven't done my research: I have, but in the wrong universe. Cheers!

Oregon's Medicaid Demonstration with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which allows for Oregon's health system transformation, is in the early stages of the renewal process. Oregon recently posted the application for public input and review; input was accepted through June 1, 2016. A draft of the waiver is available here.
Oregon is working closely with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to formally submit Oregon's Medicaid Demonstration and will make the final application, including all appendices and public comment logs, available on this web page upon submission.
Oregon's vision is to build on the foundation of Oregon's health system transformation. This will include:

Financial Audit:
Federal Housing Finance Agency's Fiscal Years 2013 and 2012 Financial Statements
GAO-14-171R: Published: Dec 16, 2013. Publicly Released: Dec 16, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3406
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
GAO found (1) the Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; (2) FHFA maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013; and (3) no reportable noncompliance for fiscal year 2013 with provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements GAO tested. In commenting on a draft of this report, the acting Director of FHFA stated that he accepted the audit conclusions and commented that the agency would continue to work to enhance its internal control and ensure the reliability of its financial reporting, its soundness of operations, and public confidence in its mission.
Why GAO Did This Study
The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 established FHFA as an independent agency empowered with supervisory and regulatory oversight of the housing-related government-sponsored enterprises: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the 12 Federal Home Loan Banks, and the Office of Finance. The act requires FHFA to annually prepare financial statements and requires GAO to audit the agency's financial statements. This report responds to these requirements. GAO conducted its audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted government auditing standards.

St Andrews has been a wonderful place to live over the past few years. safe, relaxing,and great location !
Office personnel - excellent! Grounds well kept. All in all, the St. Andrews Apartments lovely place to live.
The overall apartment community is clean and residents are friendly.
It is a nice community, however I feel they could do a better job with overall maintenance of the units, breezeway lights are often burned out and many of the buildings have burnt out flood/security lights on the building exteriors. I also feel they should give more perks to residents who re-sign for multiple lease terms. Everyone at the rental office is wonderful and overall it's a good experience.
Its a good place to live. Nice pool, good parking, and kept clean. Had some issues within the apartment at first. sink leak, etc.. but was repaired by maintenance in a timely manor.

What is a Certified Resident?
A resident who lives at the property and has completed a resident satisfaction survey.
Advertising properties provide a list of email addresses of its residents to Kingsley Associates, a third party market research firm, who then sends out the satisfaction survey to the residents. Properties may also conduct satisfaction surveys of its residents through other third party market research firms. In those cases, we will publish those survey responses as long as the questions conform to our standard survey format.
Because reviews are from Certified Residents, and are managed by a third party, you can feel confident that the feedback provided is accurate and trustworthy.
General Directions
I-24 toward Chattanooga exit onto Highway 96, Exit #78A. Go through traffic signal. Immediately past shopping center turn left onto St. Andrews Drive. Property is ahead on the right.

Did Climate Change Have A Role in Hurricane Sandy's Unusual Track Into New Jersey?
Figure 1. Inlet section of Atlantic City, NJ, after Hurricane Sandy. Image credit: 6 ABC Action News.
by Jeff Masters, via Wunderblog
We're used to seeing hurricane-battered beaches and flooded cities in Florida, North Carolina, and the Gulf Coast. But to see these images from the Jersey Shore and New York City in the wake of Hurricane Sandy is a shocking experience. New Jersey only rarely gets hit by hurricanes because it lies in a portion of the coast that doesn't stick out much, and is too far north. How did this happen? How was a hurricane able to move from southeast to northwest at landfall, so far north, and so late in hurricane season?
We expect hurricanes to move from east to west in the tropics, where the prevailing trade winds blow that direction. But the prevailing wind direction reverses at mid-latitudes, flowing predominately west-to-east, due to the spin of the Earth. Hurricanes that penetrate to about Florida's latitude usually get caught up in these westerly winds, and are whisked northeastwards, out to sea. However, the jet stream, that powerful band of upper-atmosphere west-to-east flowing air, has many dips and bulges. These troughs of low pressure and ridges of high pressure allow winds at mid-latitudes to flow more to the north or to the south. Every so often, a trough in the jet stream bends back on itself when encountering a ridge of high pressure stuck in place ahead of it. These "negatively tilted" troughs have winds that flow from southeast to northwest. It is this sort of negatively tilted trough that sucked in Sandy and allowed the hurricane to take such an unusual path into New Jersey.
The 1903 Vagabond Hurricane
The only other hurricane to hit New Jersey since 1851 besides Sandy was the 1903 Category 1 Vagabond Hurricane. According to Wikipedia, the Vagabond Hurricane caused heavy damage along the New Jersey coast ($180 million in 2006 dollars.) The hurricane killed 57 people, and endangered the life of President Theodore Roosevelt, who was sailing on a yacht near Long Island, NY, when the hurricane hit. However, the Vagabond Hurricane hit in September, when the jet stream is typically weaker and farther to the north. It is quite extraordinary that Sandy was able to hit New Jersey in late October, when the jet stream is typically stronger and farther south, making recurvature to the northeast much more likely than in September.
Figure 2. The path of the 1903 Vagabond Hurricane, the only other hurricane to hit New Jersey since 1851.
The blocking ridge that steered Sandy into New Jersey
A strong ridge of high pressure parked itself over Greenland beginning on October 20, creating a "blocking ridge" that prevented the normal west-to-east flow of winds over Eastern North America.
Think of the blocking ridge like a big truck parked over Greenland. Storms approaching from the west (like the fall low pressure system that moved across the U.S. from California to Pennsylvania last week) or from the south (Hurricane Sandy) were blocked from heading to the northeast. Caught in the equivalent of an atmospheric traffic jam, the two storms collided over the Northeast U.S., combined into one, and are now waiting for the truck parked over Greenland to move. The strength of the blocking ridge, as measured by the strength of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), was quite high–about two standard deviations from average, something that occurs approximately 5% of the time. When the NAO is in a strong negative phase, we tend to have blocking ridges over Greenland.
Figure 3. Jet stream winds at a pressure of 300 mb on October 29, 2012, as Hurricane Sandy approached the coast of New Jersey. Note that the wind direction over New Jersey (black arrows) was from the southeast, due to a negatively tilted trough of low pressure over the Eastern U.S. caused by a strong blocking ridge of high pressure over Greenland. Image credit: NOAA/ESRL.
Arctic sea ice loss can cause blocking ridges
Blocking ridges occur naturally, but are uncommon over Greenland this time of year. According to NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, blocking near the longitude of Greenland (50°W) only occurs about 2% of the time in the fall. These odds rise to about 6% in winter and spring. As I discussed in an April post, Arctic sea ice loss tied to unusual jet stream patterns, three studies published in the past year have found that the jet stream has been getting stuck in unusually strong blocking patterns in recent years. These studies found that the recent record decline in Arctic sea ice could be responsible, since this heats up the pole, altering the Equator-to-pole temperature difference, forcing the jet stream to slow down, meander, and get stuck in large loops.
The 2012 Arctic sea ice melt season was extreme, with sea ice extent hitting a record lows. Could sea ice loss have contributed to the blocking ridge that steered Sandy into New Jersey? It is possible, but we will need to much more research on the subject before we make such a link, as the studies of sea ice loss on jet stream patterns are so new.
The author of one of the new studies, Dr. Jennifer Francis of Rutgers, had this say in a recent post by Andy Revkin in his Dot Earth blog: "While it's impossible to say how this scenario might have unfolded if sea-ice had been as extensive as it was in the 1980s, the situation at hand is completely consistent with what I'd expect to see happen more often as a result of unabated warming and especially the amplification of that warming in the Arctic."

The NASH, commonly referred to as the Bermuda High, is an area of high pressure that forms each summer near Bermuda, where its powerful surface center helps steer Atlantic hurricanes and plays a major role in shaping weather in the eastern United States, Western Europe and northwestern Africa.

Isn't it very strange that another storm is predicted to hit the area?
Maybe this is the new pattern…
Hmm. Didn't consider the negative pressure over N.J., only the high pressure over Greenland. Maybe the two acted together, with the high pressure steering the storm and the low pressure helping suck it into shore? I do remember that Sandy unexpectedly picked up speed a couple of hours before it hit shore.
Any help for us non-specialists is appreciated.
I really like this piece, but the Vagabond Hurricane was not the only late-season hurricane to affect the upper Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
Hurricane Hazel developed in mid-October 1954, made landfall in North Carolina like a 'regular' hurricane, but then resembled Sandy as it moved inland and northward, complete with encounter with an Arctic cold front.
Sandy has more areal extent, more ability to develop a wide-and-high storm surge, and made landfall further north than Hazel, but the elements of the storm track have shown up – rarely – before this. I want to be careful in presenting the climate change components of Sandy's behavior in a way that others like me, who remember Hazel, can grasp without technical expertise.
Interesting stuff. This adds another possible influence to those typically highlighted in the media. I wonder, though, if certain news outlets are at risk of appearing to overstate the climate change connection, given how people like Kevin Trenberth are treating it. He acknowledges the effects of warming and rising seas, but suggested that the human influence was small (though "important"), and much of the event was a "crap-shoot":
Of course, a lot of the concern is about the future, and climate change acceleration. And one thing I've been questioning is whether saying the seas have warmed about about one degree F tells the whole story, given that the extra warmth isn't evenly distributed, spatially or temporally. It would seem that it can be "pooled" to some extent by the oceans, and modulated by variability in heat exchange with the deeper ocean. So presumably the regional anthropogenic effect can fluctuate some, just as natural factors can.
More breaking news from Dr. Jeff Master's
A moderate-strength Nor'easter on Wednesday looking increasingly likely http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=2286
Think of the inverse. Is it possible GW and sea rise DID NOT have an effect? Is it possible GW and sea rise made Sandy LESS powerful than otherwise? ".. can cause blocking ridges …" ? How about, Is it possible GW DID NOT redirect Sandy to the NW?
If the obvious is only "possible" the "inevitable" can be discounted. Just sayin'.
Joan, Sandy's survival so far north of Cape Hatteras so late in the season is what sets it apart. Note in particular the extreme shear winds it had to survive starting around the Bahamas. Had SSTs not been so high, it would have been blown apart.
Think of it this way David: People the world over readily accept the scientific fact that changing a patch of South Pacific from warm to cool by only a couple of degrees C, and the resulting comparatively narrow El Nino/La Nina current across the Equatorial Pacific to South America, can have a profound effect on the weather. Not only here in the United States, but to a lesser degree Europe and Africa.
On the other hand, transforming a much closer, (boarders in many cases), highly reflective patch of earth from significantly bellow freezing to dark open water above freezing, a difference of 10′s of degrees C and it is all business as usual? Couple that with an area that is larger than the states of Alaska and Texas combined and it is all just going to be "Ho Hum"! Get real. I am telling you, Science is telling you, and the on the ground reality are all raising red flags here. Of course vested interests are spending big bucks trotting out "red herrings" as fast as they can. Perhaps that must be factored into the attitudes of the masses, you think?
Time to toast the deniers, not the Kidders…
We all pay fees to dump garbage, waste water and more. Corpro/People dump tons for free and accumulate mega-bucks. Even get tax subsidies. The GOP don't fund abortion. Fine. A precedent! Why must my tax dollars fund the ecocide of the PLANET via fossil subsidies?!!! We're talking "MORALS" here. Try throwing 19 pounds of paper cups out the car window for each gallon of gas you burn. Who is making money here and who is losing? Toxins verses paper cups? (I bet you could be real creative about increasing your trash stream if it were paper cups.) Even absorb a "slap on the wrist" fine once in awhile. Surely a good lawyer on retainer. Once established perhaps even a congressman or two.
I pay $150/ton to dump my household garbage. $50/T to recycle yard waste. Waste water fees, of course. I even have a rain water run off fee of $5/m. (guide lines here?) Yet Corpro/people piss all over themselves at the thought of $25/ton for TOXINS! Sweet Jesus… They are making billions, I get ~$30/day to stay alive and must fund health insurance. Go Figure!
In brief:
Stop profits from the pollution of the commons.
Go Green, Resistance is FATAL to Earth's life support systems, that is a given and proven. Socially enabled capitalism is a failed paradigm.
Thank you. But I guess I was being unintentionally ironic, suggesting we should no longer think of the "possible" connections, but to force the concept of the certain and the undeniable. We're on the same page, I just said it weird.
Several interesting anologies. I especially liked comparing the size and temperature variations of ENSO variations to the change from ice to blue sea in the arctic. It doesn't prove anything, but it helped make the concept easier to understand and prima facie credible.
Thank you, Joan.
I bumped into a denialist who brought up Joe Bastardi's argument that this couldn't have anything to do with global warming since Hazel was similar and took place in the 1950s. Couldn't find anything really comparing the two until today, that Sandy made landfall further north, happened later in the year, and had a larger wind field.
Of course, even if things were reversed in the case of these two storms, our understanding of climate change is that this sort of thing is what we should expect to sea more of in our future. Sea levels will be higher, particularly along the eastern seaboard, making higher storm surge more likely. There will be fewer but stronger hurricanes. With the heating of the oceans, hurricane season will expand, with hurricanes showing up earlier and later in the year. Their range will extend further north. The jet stream will slow and meander more, making negatively tilted troughs more likely. There will be more blocking highs later in the year as the Arctic spirals further to ice free conditions. So even if this sort of thing has happened before, we should experience it more frequently, and more frequently as time goes on.
The fact that denialists have to reach back that far to find something similar strongly suggests that this sort of thing is highly unusual, or at least has been, and our understanding of the physics involved strongly suggests that this sort of thing will become much more frequent.
The loss of Arctic sea ice has certainly had an effect on the atmosphere:
Arctic Alaska's Autumn Anomaly: Record Warm October at Barrow
We might also ask what didn't happen with Sandy.
In 1938 the eye of a category 3 hurricane hit Westerly, Rhode Island. On its windward side, all of shallow Narragansett Bay turned into a ramp for piling up water into Providence. 600 people died. Sandy was a category 1, but with a huge wind field.
So, we should think not about another Sandy hitting just before Halloween but an occasional category 3 strike (or, with climate change, a category 5) on the side of Manhattan, scattering the bowling pins. The bowling term "Brooklyn" also comes to mind.
Movable gates across the Hudson and East Rivers will stop most floods, but the buildings may or may not be designed to survive the enhanced winds. What good is a freedom tower when it's leaning over?
Steve, I think the 500+ mile swathe sets Sandy apart, and the swathe is easy to link to persistent late season SST, therefore climate change.
The elements of a blocking pattern and a south-reaching Arctic cold front may become more frequent with climate change, but it's early to say a new pattern has been established. My point is that some aspects of Sandy are more strongly correlated to global warming than others. It's only fair to compare and contrast it to other late season hurricanes that made it into the northeast.
btw what are the odd's for 2x, 500 year storms within 2 years?
Last year Irene and now Sandy. And then you have the Derecho event from earlier this year. All events which are called very rare.
And now the European weather prediction center and the US prediction center are aligning with another serious storm next week. Not as bad as Sandy but damaging NE winds and snow inland. (Cliff Mass Weather blog has a report.) Still a ways out so lots of room for changes but it is yet another well formed large low forming.
Some have estimated how much of the extra warmth (BTUs) in the "unusually warm "ocean current was due to AGW.
BUT….. even if the rest of the extra BTUs in that current were not attributable to a human SOURCE no one seems to be asking whether humans played a role in making them appear in that unusual place/time/concentration.
Reductionist science will only look at the human signal in terms of the extra units of energy the climate system acquires.
Systems science will also look at how humans are changing the way all the units of energy slop around – whether they apportioned to AGWs extra warming or for lack of a better phrase – just normal pre-AGW warming.
So its not just how many extra BTUs are we collecting…. its how are we changing the distribution of ALL of them that we should think about.
Great point Mark.
In other words, if there had been no anthropogenic climate change in the past 50 years, would Sandy have occurred as it did? No, it would not have. A basic understanding of causality gives a definite answer on this.

The atmosphere,luxury,the food, the company we were with. The room design,the feeling of being in a special place. Cannot fault anytyhing. Loved the peacocks. The views were stunning.
Wish my drink had come somewhere near same time as my scone and clotted cream.
The Castle and its setting is perfect. the interior also has a wonderful atmosphere and our bedroom was spacious and comfortable.
Our bedroom was special but we could have done with more lighting
Friendly hosts, good breakfast
The setting was perfect for our needs, in walking distance of the town of Alston. Good parking and nice to have a bar
The stairs up to our room, bit too much for me now. Also would have been nice to have an evening meal in. We had to go to Alston House.
Excellent food and friendly service
Lots of nice luxurious touches, very comfortable rooms, breakfast and dinner both delicious. Excellent value and lovely location.
The location was stunning and the main areas of the hotel were lovely. The staff were very good as well.
The rooms and food were very poor for the price. The swimming pool changing areas were also very poor
i liked the relaxed atmosphere in the hotel and the scenery sorrounding it. the breakfast was also very nice.

Ok so I lined up the enclosure with the letters, Made a horizontal version, and made a version without the enclosure. I also beefed up the dot pattern just a bit so it was a little more apparent at small sizes. Its subtle but I think I like that. I dunno yet. Thoughts?

Elias Says ...
A daily glance inside the numbers from the world of sports.
Updated: June 11, 2006, 2:11 AM ETBy Elias Sports Bureau, Inc. | Special to ESPN Insider
Soccer • England's victory over Paraguay was the first 1-0 game in World Cup history that was decided by an own-goal.
• By holding a 1-0 lead from the third minute on, England set a World Cup mark. No team had ever made a goal that was scored in the first three minutes stand up for a 1-0 victory. Previously, three teams scored in the fourth minute of a 1-0 win: Russia over Slovenia in 2002; Yugoslavia over the United States in 1998; and Argentina over Bulgaria in 1962.

Out with the blah, in with the ah! That's the way of the world. Nobody gets their Dockers in a wrinkle for a Joe Paterno-led, four-point victory where you play the back-up quarterback the last two drives to provide the kid some experience. Today's sports fans want Urban Meyer piling on the stats and winning by four touchdowns instead of three, giving his kid this week's Heisman Trophy front-runnership.
We saw that same philosophy come into focus last Saturday at Monmouth Park when Lookin At Lucky rose from merely part of the discussion to a blazing headline all to himself. His four-length beat-down of the Haskell Invitational field, which included Kentucky Derby one-two finishers Super Saver and Ice Box and dual-classics placed First Dude, finally vindicated Lookin At Lucky as the best of his generation.
But it shouldn't have taken this long.
All he had done going into his Jersey Shore foray was win 7 of 10 starts and bank more than $2 million. Erase everything else you know about the horse and focus solely on the record. Lookin At Lucky had won 70 percent of his races prior to the Haskell, far ahead on career percentages than horses like Skip Away (47 percent), Pleasantly Perfect (50 percent) or Silver Charm (50 percent), arguably three of the best horses of the past two decades. Of course he's not in their stratosphere yet, don't fire off those emails, but the point is: It ain't easy winning 70 percent of your starts at a top level. For a 3-year-old to have banked $2 million before August without winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, Kentucky Derby or Belmont Stakes is almost unfathomable. You can't have too many misfires when you're dragging home $200,000 per start on average.
Lookin At Lucky tipped his brilliance with a visually stirring victory at Hollywood Park last summer that put me on to him as the horse to beat when the Del Mar stakes tide rolled in. If you didn't then think his Del Mar Futurity win was impressive since it measured only one length, let us not overlook now that those he beat last summer included eventual Kentucky Derby fourth-place finisher Make Music For Me, Grade 1 Bing Crosby winner Smiling Tiger, Grade 1 Acorn winner Champagne d'Oro and Grade 3 Derby Trial victor Hurricane Ike. Not a bad field for dirt or synthetic 2-year-olds in late summer, eh?
So what if Lookin At Lucky had never won by open lengths prior to Saturday's Haskell? Sports fans in this drive-by era of excess need to remember what makes great racehorses -- heart, not hype. The great Alysheba was a 10-time stakes winner and retired the richest horse of all-time in 1988 with $6.6 million earned. But only one of his 10 career stakes wins came by a margin more than three-quarters of a length! Are you here to tell me that Alysheba's defining moment came in the 1988 Strub because he won by three lengths over Candi's Gold and On the Line? Of course not.
Ferdinand never won by more than 2-1/4 lengths in his remarkable career, while the final 28 (yes, 28) wins of the legendary John Henry's career never saw him pour it on by more than 3-1/2 lengths on dirt or turf. Criminal Type was 1990 Horse of the Year behind 6 stakes victories that ranged between winning margins of a head and 1-1/2 lengths. Silver Charm's 11 career stakes wins came by a combined margin of approximately 11 lengths.
The truth of the matter is that Lookin At Lucky has been a special horse for a very long time. He's a Grade 1 winner on Polytrack, Pro-Ride, Cushion Track and natural dirt (twice). In an era of excuse-mongering and a deathly fear of your horse perhaps being even once-beaten, who can boast that? That's Zenyatta-like, and of course it's unfortunate that you can't live in an eastern time zone like I do and still respect these kind of horses without someone falsely accusing you of residing in the 90210.
If someone other than Bob Baffert trained Lookin At Lucky, he'd probably still have to prove himself to many east coasters by winning the Travers by the length of Saratoga Springs' Union Avenue. Heaven forbid he would be trained by Alexis Barba or Myung Kwon Cho on the West Coast. Baffert has earned the East Coast's respect because he's regularly traveled that direction and beaten their horses like a drum. And even his horse had to wait this long to win the minds of far too many.
We all know why Lookin At Lucky took so much time to land his long-due respect. He had to outrun his false label as a West Coast synthetics bum, and to do that he had to drill, not just beat, horses on dirt within a stone's throw of New York. Thank goodness New Jersey is the Big Apple's biggest suburb.
Like it or not, that's the measuring stick today. Those of us with an open mind to horseflesh and without a preconceived notion of geographical superiority welcome you to the bandwagon. Let's just enjoy this fantastic racehorse, as well as all the truly great ones we're blessed to have in our sights in 2010.

When Jerry Seinfeld was asked a few years ago what TV shows he watches, he said, "I don't watch that much television. I was television."
Jennifer Keishin Armstrong's book, Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything proves this was true to some extent.
If you're a die-hard Seinfeld fan, you probably already know all the stuff in this book. But if you're a younger or more casual fan, or you just get off on reading about the show, then this book is for you.
The book is basically a complete history of the show. It begins with Larry David and Seinfeld realizing their funny back-and-forth in a deli could be a television show and goes all the way up to the hoopla surrounding the finale a decade later. It explains the origins of "yada yada yada," the Soup Nazi, Susan's death, Elaine's "little kicks" dance, the J. Peterman Reality Tour, and even the development of the theme song.
It also details all the ways in which the show almost died on the vine and what it almost was before it was fully developed into what we know today. Elaine wasn't even going to be a character at first and it was originally going to be called The Seinfeld Chronicles. Gag me.
Some of my favorite Seinfeld moments not mentioned in this book: When Kramer starts Kramerica Industries and hires his own intern, the whole Merv Griffin Show episode, George's answering machine song, and one of the greatest scenes in television history: When Kramer unfolds his coffee table book about coffee tables into a coffee table.
Eventually, Seinfeld will be irrelevant to a generation so far removed it can't relate to it at all, but the the main point of this book is the show is still a dominant force in pop culture almost thirty years after it debuted.
Heavy on the nostalgia, this will make you want to go back and watch the show over again. When Armstrong recounts the extreme public interest in the finale and that episode's enormous viewership, it's easy to see how Seinfeld can make the case that he was, in fact, television.
Solid book, I'd give it a B.
It's with a heavy heart that I share the news that Denny Green died Friday morning at the all-too-tender age of 67. And there is no other way to pay tribute to him than with his postgame rant for the ages. It launched a thousand tributes, millions of imitations and forever added the catchphrases, "They were who we THOUGHT they were," and, "You wanna crown 'em? Then crown their ass!" to the lexicon.
He was a disappointed coach, indeed. But he didn't disappoint us. Good night, sweet prince. RIP.
Oliver Stone says Pokémon Go could be the beginning of a "robot society" https://t.co/QPJZTkB3fQ pic.twitter.com/cPJhmEgxak
— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) July 21, 2016
In case you're unaware, San Diego Comic-Con is going on right now. It's like the Geek National Convention times the Nerd Super Bowl to power of Fanboy/girl Coachella. Crowds of 130,000 are expected to nerd out and get the first look at dozens of new Hollywood releases. Going to SDCC is right near the top of my Bucket List, while I sit instead blogging on my back deck on the South Shore. But that's a rant for another time.
What this blog is about is Oliver Stone kicking off the convention with one of the most Oliver Stoney conspiracy theories of all time. He's there to promote his new movie "Snowden." Bear in mind that it is unusual for a straight, non-sci fi/fantasy/comic book film to appear at Comic-Con. And when one apparent gamer decided he needed Stone's take on "Pokemon Go," he did not disappoint:
"It's a new level of invasion. Nobody has ever seen, in the history of the world, something like Google, ever. It's the fastest-growing business ever, and they have invested huge amounts of money into what surveillance is, which is data-mining. They're data-mining every person in this room for information as to what you're buying, what it is you like, and above all, your behavior."
"Pokemon Go kicks into that. It's everywhere. It's what some people call surveillance capitalism. It's the newest stage. You'll see a new form of, frankly, a robot society, where they will know how you want to behave and they will make the mockup that matches how you behave and feed you. It's what they call totalitarianism."
So there you have it. Straight from the mouth of the man who told us how the CIA, Lyndon Johnson and/or defense contractors killed JFK. You might think you're harmlessly catching Pikachus and Charizards. But, in fact, it's an invasion where you're really under surveillance, getting data-mined AF and being turned into robots by a totalitarian entity of some sort. Got it.
It's just too bad this guy who got tazed by the cops for refusing to leave a park after closing because he was looking for Pokemon didn't hear Stone's rant first. It could have saved him a lot of aggravation:
The Steelers could be without running back Le'Veon Bell for the first four games of the season. According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, Bell missed a drug test, which triggered the suspension. Bell has appealed, but no date has been set for the appeal hearing.
Bell was suspended for the first three games of last season after he was arrested for marijuana possession and DUI in the summer of 2014, but he ended up only missing the first two games after an appeal. Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount (then a member of the Steelers) was with Bell during the 2014 incident and also was arrested and suspended one game by the league.
Between the suspension and then a season-ending MCL injury, Bell played just six games last season, rushing 113 times for 556 yards and three touchdowns, while catching 24 passes for 136 yards.
DeAngelo Williams and Fitzgerald Toussaint figure to be getting the carries if Bell is out. Williams ran for 907 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, his first in Pittsburgh after nine years in Carolina. Toussaint saw spot duty in five games last season, his first with the Steelers after appearing in four games with the Ravens as a rookie in 2014.
The Steelers — expected to be the Patriots' biggest challenger in the AFC — already will be without receiver Martavis Bryant for the entire season because of a substance-abuse policy violation.
Late Thursday night, Major Lazer released "Cold Water," a summer anthem candidate featuring Justin Bieber and MØ on vocals.
Long story short, it's great and it brings to light one interesting point: All three of these artists might have set the bar impossibly for projects involving one another. "Cold Water" is going to be played nonstop for the next two to six months, yet it isn't even close to the best of what's become a growing list of hits made involving at least two of Diplo, Bieber and MØ. That's absolutely fine.
The creme de la creme is "Where are U Now," which Diplo and Skrillex put out last summer as Jack U with Bieber. Right up there with it is "Lean On" from Major Lazer (of which Diplo is one third), MØ and DJ Snake. Not to be forgotten, however, is MØ and Diplo's "Kamikaze" or "XXX 88," the first song the two did together.
"Cold Water" is going to be gigantic because Diplo, Bieber and MØ have become the James Franco, Seth Rogen and (insert third "Freaks and Geeks" cast member) of pop music: People just want them to do stuff together and it's going to be beloved no matter. It's also written by Ed Sheeran and Benny Blanco, with whom Bieber had major success on last year's "Love Yourself."
Much like "Love Yourself," this song kind of plays it down the middle. There's no mucked-up-Bieber-turned-dolphin-sounding hook like in "Where Are U Now." There's no immediately memorable riff like in "Lean On" or "Kamikaze." In fact, there's no break at all from the first chorus to the second verse or from the second chorus to the bridge. In that respect, production and dance breaks can't carry the day the way they can in so many of Diplo's hits. Bieber's vocal performance has to support the song and absolutely does. This is maybe 100 times the performance that he turns in on "Where Are U Now," a far superior song.
In fact, MO's bridge might actually be the most "produced"-sounding part of the song. Often times artists sound better with other singers providing harmonies. Diplo knows MØ's voice is too unique for that method, so what you get is a bridge dripping wet with MØ's vocals. It's the best part of the song.
The lack of shiny objects in "Cold Water" isn't necessarily a bad thing — it just means it's not going to blow you away on the early listens. Yet it also means that this crew is capable of moving even closer to formulaic Top 40 and it working, because this song 100 percent works.
In summary, Diplo + Bieber, MØ or both of them = fire flames city. You'll enjoy your weekend because these three just made damn sure of it.
