AMINOPOWER 2000™ contains 12,000mg of the most comprehensive blend of muscular building blocks on the market, including micronized BCAAs, which absorb directly into your bloodstream and work to stimulate protein synthesis and regenerate muscle tissue immediately following consumption. With an incredible diversity of critical amino acids from L-Alanine to L-Tyrosine, this precision matrix works synergistically with your daily protein consumption to create the potential for surreal muscle growth and definition.
Branched Chain Amino Acids are a critical component to any precision training strategy and AMINOPOWER 2000™ spares no benefits in harnessing their power. L-Leucine, L-Valine, L-Lysine, and other premium BCAAs function as potent anti-catabolic agents, reducing muscle tissue breakdown. By preserving more of your existing muscle fibers, these clinically validated muscle catalysts allow you to train proactively towards huge gains in lean, defined muscle mass.
AMINOPOWER 2000™ is precisely designed to accelerate muscle recovery time and reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). It has been clinically suggested that the right combination of BCAAs AND amino acids will reduce the amount of muscle tissue breakdown during training. This reduction minimizes the release of myoglobin and elastase (muscle damage signallers) post-workout, which helps reduce muscle soreness and supports a strong immune system. Put this all together, and you support a decrease in recovery time, with absolutely no waiting.
AMINOPOWER 2000™ contains several unique amino acids such as L-Tyrosine, L-Tryptophan, L-Histidine, L-Serine, and more which work to enhance various micro-biological process such as nutrient uptake and cellular protection. When combined with AMINOPOWER 2000's™ BCAA profile it will leave your body primed to perform at its peak and capitalize on your training in and out of the gym.
On training days take three (3) tablets pre-workout on an empty stomach with 8 oz. of water and take another three (3) tablets post-workout.
On non-training days take three (3) tablets twice daily. To optimize utilization take in the morning and evening and in between meals on an empty stomach with a full glass of water. Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily.
Warning: AMINO POWER 2000™ tablets may be difficult to swallow. If you believe you may have difficulty in swallowing this product, crush tablet into powder and take with plenty of water.
Branched Chain Amino Acids are a critical component to any precision training strategy and ANABOLIC STATE™ spares no benefits in harnessing their power. L-Leucine, L-Valine, L-Lysine, and other premium BCAAs function as potent anti-catabolic agents, reducing muscle tissue breakdown.* By preserving more of your existing muscle fibers, these clinically validated muscle catalysts allow you to train proactively towards huge gains in lean, defined muscle mass.
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are essential amino acids that comprise over 30% of your body's skeletal muscle tissue, and are densely packed with critical biological factors that your body needs to function and build muscle.* When you train your body uses these BCAAs as critical muscle-building components. In fact, they are so critical that if you do not have enough free available BCAAs in your system, your body will end up consuming them from its next available source - your hard-earned muscles! What makes BCAAs even more amazing is that they are digested directly in your muscle tissues - they do not need to be broken down by your stomach because they are already refined to their purest form. This means that as soon as you consume AMINOPOWER 2000,™ it's various BCAAs and amino acids will start going to work for your muscles. They perform various tasks including stimulating Growth Hormone (GH) production, preventing catabolism, and extending muscular endurance.
The primary benefit of a amino acid supplement like AMINOPOWER 2000™ is how fast they work. Containing only the purest in micronized BCAAs and amino acids, AMINOPOWER 2000™ is scientifically designed for easy dissolution and rapid absorption - racing through your bloodstream and hungry tissues in minutes. By comparison, dietary protein takes hours to digest and can leave you feeling weighed down by a meal with no guarantee that your muscles are getting nourishment when they need them the most. AMINOPOWER 2000™ aslo contains unique amino acids like the BCAAs L-isoleucine and L-valine - which your body cannot manufacture on its own. These critical elements help ensure that your body is primed to be in an anabolic state and remain that way longer - above and beyond the effects of basic protein supplementation.
No. Unused BCAAs and amino acids will simply pass through your system if they cannot used immediately upon absorption. If you consume BCAAs before, during, or after a workout session, your body immediately begins utilizing them to support protein synthesis. AMINOPOWER 2000™ is designed to integrate and work with your existing protein supplementation.
You can use AMINOPOWER 2000™ for pre-workout, intra-workout, and post-workout applications. As a pre or intra-workout supplement, AMINOPOWER 2000™ works to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and initialize muscle building during your training session - definitely a good secret weapon to have during an especially tough workout.* AMINOPOWER 2000™ is also beneficial as a post-workout treatment that helps to accelerates your recovery period following any intense physical activity, whether it is a first-of-the-season snowboarding session, or simply a harcore day at the gym. AMINOPOWER 2000™ is a great introductory supplement if you are new to bodybuilding

SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers' NFC West title defense just got more intriguing thanks to Monday's quarterback carousel.
Shortly before the 49ers acquired Colt McCoy from the Cleveland Browns, the Seattle Seahawks traded away their only backup quarterback, Matt Flynn, to the Raiders.
The Arizona Cardinals joined the quarterback-transaction fray as they looked to upgrade from last season's last-place finish in the NFC West. They released last season's opening-day starter, John Skelton, and worked on acquiring Carson Palmer from the Raiders.
Palmer's potential move might not be as impactful as the Seahawks' loss of Flynn, at least regarding the 49ers' cause.
The Seahawks have built themselves into the 49ers' staunchest contender in the NFC West. Meanwhile, new Cardinals coach Bruce Arians is inheriting a 5-11 team that allowed a league-high 58 sacks last season.
What will the Seahawks do for a backup to Russell Wilson, who blossomed into a rookie sensation with the Seahawks last season? Tyler Thigpen and Matt Leinart are under consideration, according to ESPN.
Wilson started all 18 games last season, including their two playoff appearances. The Seahawks, who are becoming a more-rounded team, still are counting on Wilson's durability. He passed for 3,118 yards (26 touchdowns, 10 interceptions) and ran for 489 yards (four TDs, 33 sacks) as a rookie starter.
The 49ers are banking on Colin Kaepernick more than ever as their starter after trading Alex Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs. McCoy's acquisition will add depth and also provide competition for Scott Tolzien, who's been groomed just as long as Kaepernick (since 2011) in the complex and multidimensional scheme run by coach Jim Harbaugh and coordinator Greg Roman.
The 49ers might further add to their quarterback stable through this month's draft, in which they still have 13 picks, including seven in the first four rounds. Their more pressing needs, however, exist at free safety, defensive line, cornerback, tight end and offensive tackle.
By dealing Flynn to the Raiders, the Seahawks reportedly are getting a fifth-round draft pick next year and a conditional pick in 2015, which is a far cry from the 49ers' bounty for Smith (second-round pick in 2013, conditional third-round choice in 2014). Smith, however, is way more experienced with 75 career starts, as opposed to Flynn's two.
Seattle also is getting $3.25 million in 2013 salary-cap relief for Flynn, according to ESPN.com. Flynn's most extensive action for the Seahawks came when he replaced Wilson on the Seahawks' final series of a Dec. 23 rout of the 49ers, resulting in three kneel-downs to kill the final 1:40.
While the Seahawks and 49ers have upped the stakes in their rivalry, the Cardinals are trying to escape the NFC West dungeon.
Palmer went 8-16 as the Raiders' starting quarterback. He passed for more than 4,000 yards last season during their 4-12 run, and his interception percentage of 2.5 per attempt was his lowest since 2005 and 2006, when he drew his only Pro Bowl berths with the Cincinnati Bengals.
As for the St. Louis Rams, their biggest offseason move was to sign offensive tackle Jake Long in hopes he can protect Sam Bradford, who is backed up by Kellen Clemens and Austin Davis.

Dalton Dyer was in top form on the mound and the Carthage Merchants rolled to a 7-2 victory Thursday night in an American Legion AAA baseball road game at McDonald County.
Dyer pitched all seven innings, allowing a run in the first and seventh innings.
"They only had two hits to the outfield," Carthage head coach Jason McVey said. "He had a little problem with the mound the other day at Webb City, but at Mac County he started everybody with a strike. He struck out the side in the fourth inning. He was very in command all night and he got ahead of a lot of hitters."
Carthage scored two runs in each of the first, second and third innings before adding another run in the fifth.
Keaton Giett doubled for Carthage, while Miles Goade went 4-for-4 at the plate and Sawyer Shepherd went 3-for-4.
"Keaton made two extraordinary plays at short stop," McVey said. "He backhanded one in deep short and threw the runner out, and he dove up the middle to catch a line drive, both in the sixth inning."
Carthage will play an unscheduled game at Nixa Monday night. The Merchants will host Monett in a district game at 6 p.m. on Monday, July 9. The team may play a game against Nevada the following Tuesday.

Definition of cobalt in English:
- This packing arrangement is also observed for many metals, including rubidium, osmium, cobalt, zinc, and cadmium.
- Besides gold and diamonds, the area is rich in copper, uranium, palladium and cobalt, as well as coltan ore.
- The slow growth rate is thought to enhance the absorption of heavy metals like copper and cobalt from sea water.
- He muttered something in angry fluent French, as he tilted his head back and looked up at the star-dusted cobalt sky.
- It was February with cobalt skies, snappy air, and a fresh blanket of snow.
- This past week in the forest park, the fiery foliage set against cobalt skies was a sight to behold.
- Example sentences
- Hydrated cobalt oxide or cobaltic hydroxide is produced by adding sodium hydroxide to this solution.
- An opportunity might have been lost for guiding mining operations to the working of any payable cobaltic vein.
- The cobaltic complex has also been synthesized by metal exchange from previously obtained sodium ascorbate and cobaltic dichloride hexahydrate in aqueous medium.
- Example sentences
- We produce 300 tons of cobalt oxide and 180 tons of cobaltous oxide yearly, one of the largest production and sale bases in China.
Late 17th century: from German Kobalt 'imp, demon' (because the presence of cobalt-bearing ore made it more difficult to extract silver, and miners believed that it was harmful to the silver ore with which it occurred).
Cobalt is a hard silvery-white magnetic metal, often found in the ground alongside deposits of silver. The name comes from German Kobalt, a variation of the word Kobold meaning 'goblin or demon', and perhaps related to goblin. Medieval silver miners gave the metal this name because of the trouble it caused them. They believed that cobalt was harmful both to the silver ores with which it occurred and to their own health, though these effects were mainly due to the arsenic and sulphur with which it was frequently combined.

SAN JOSE -- For the second straight season, game No. 2 for San Jose State comes on the road against the nation's No. 5 team.
But unlike the short bus ride last year to cozy Stanford Stadium, the cross-country trek to Auburn, Alabama, for Saturday's showdown with the mighty Tigers presents the most hostile environment the majority of Spartans players have ever experienced.
San Jose State (1-0) faces SEC power Auburn (1-0) at Jordan-Hare Stadium, which is expected to be filled with 87,000 screaming fans. The Tigers are 31-point favorites.
"Intimidation factors are only as powerful as you let them be," said senior linebacker Vince Buhagiar, one of three players remaining from the 2010 team that opened the season against No. 1 Alabama, a game the Spartans lost 48-3.
Spartans coach Ron Caragher knows all about the SEC -- he spent four seasons as an assistant at Kentucky -- and said Auburn was one of his favorite road venues.
"It's hostile. Let's face it. And they take pride in that," Caragher said. "It's a hostile environment. Period. Crazy stuff goes on. We embrace that. Bring it on. Bring it on. We want a challenging environment. That's our attitude."
Caragher backed up those words at his weekly news conference when he said: "Thing happens. Crowds start to cheer and people say things to you and throw stuff at you, but you just have to be able to be above that."
The line about throwing "stuff at you" rankled some, who insist Auburn prides itself on its hospitality.
Caragher clarified his comments a day later, saying he didn't literally mean objects being thrown. But he didn't back down from the point of his words or rule out any amount of craziness coming his team's way.
"You embrace challenges. You embrace all those things and that's how we grow as a team," he said. "The tougher it is Saturday at Auburn, the more our football team will grow as a result of that."
Caragher seems to be trying to develop the attitude that made Pat Hill famous during his days at Fresno State using the slogan, "Anybody, anytime, anywhere."
Hill played 46 games against teams from major conferences during his 15 years at Fresno State.
The Bulldogs lost the first nine, but starting with a win against Cal in 2000, they went 17-20 against major conference foes.
"I never talked about winning or losing a game," Hill, now an ESPN analyst, said of his approach with his players. "I always talked about, in (San Jose State's) case, play Spartan football and the scoreboard will take care of itself. Play hard for 60 minutes and good things will happen."
The Spartans are huge underdogs for a reason. Auburn is the defending SEC champion and played in the BCS title game last season. The Tigers return a Heisman Trophy candidate in quarterback Nick Marshall and have a roster stockpiled with four- and five-star recruits.
There's a reason it would easily qualify as the biggest upset in school history. For the Spartans, it's important to understand the game won't make or break their season.
"The season isn't Saturday," Caragher said. "The season is 12 games. Saturday is a great test for where we are at as a team and could potentially help us grow as a football team."
Chandler Jones knows that. The former San Jose State wide receiver made his collegiate debut in that 2010 game against Alabama. While it's not easy to forget the lopsided defeat, he still treasures the experience.
"There was never any fear," Jones said. "I was just anxious to play against these guys and see how I'm competing against them. When I got out there on the field, I felt like I was at home.
"That's just something I'm always going to remember. It was definitely a memorable experience."
Hill said he never approached one of those games, including two against the No. 1 team in the nation, without an expectation that his team could win even if he knew the matchup could be as tough as the one the Spartans face.
"It's going to be a tough game down there," Hill said. "Everybody knows that, the kids know that. But they've got to go in there with the mindset that 'We're going to beat these guys.' "

Tea is a time-honored -- and much commented upon -- beverage, and one which appears in countless books. Here are a few notable quotes from some famous folks:
"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."
-- C.S. Lewis
"A woman is like a tea bag -- you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt
"I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea."
-- Fyodor Dostoyevsky, "Notes from Underground"
"My hour for tea is half-past five, and my buttered toast waits for nobody."
-- Wilkie Collins, "The Woman in White"
"Arthur blinked at the screens and felt he was missing something important. Suddenly he realized what it was. 'Is there any tea on this spaceship?' he asked."
-- Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
"Take some more tea,"the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
"I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more."
"You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter. "It's very easy to take more than nothing."

Palo Alto's already considerable November ballot could get even larger if the City Council pushes forward with proposals to extend term limits and trim its ranks from nine members to seven.
The council is expected to take up those and other proposals when it meets Monday night.
The idea to extend the number of four-year terms a council member can serve was floated nearly a year ago in a memo by councilwomen Gail Price, Liz Kniss and Nancy Shepherd. They said the current two-term limit restricts the city's ability to secure leadership roles on important regional boards.
Allowing council members to serve up to three consecutive terms would solve that problem, according to the memo.
"When we want to make an impact at the level of either the county or the state or the federal, it takes some period of time to do that," Kniss said at a June 3 meeting. "Unless you are there for a certain period of time, you are not going to rise to the leadership role that you might aspire to."
Some council members, including Greg Scharff and Larry Klein, have even spoken in favor of dropping term limits altogether.
"I thought term limits then were a bad idea and I think today they're still a bad idea at all levels," Council Member Larry Klein said at the meeting, referring to the 1992 election that set the number at two.
But not everyone is on board with the idea.
"Maybe it's advantageous when you go up to regional bodies, but our prime role isn't the regional bodies, it's to work with people in the city," Councilman Greg Schmid said at the meeting. "I would be hesitant to create any barriers to bringing bright, new, diverse people onto the council. They are valuable -- as valuable as the knowledge of incumbents."
In the same memo, Price, Kniss and Shepherd said the council could increase its effectiveness by eliminating two seats. The council has had nine seats since 1971, when the number was reduced from 15. But the memo pointed out that nine is unusually high for a city of Palo Alto's size.
The changes would require amendments to the city charter and thus approval by a simple majority of voters.
The council is also expected to discuss proposals to change when terms begin and end, as well as when the annual council reorganization meeting takes place.
Council terms begin on Jan. 1 and end on Dec. 31. But new members aren't sworn in until the first Monday business meeting of January. According to a February 2013 memo from Klein and Schmid, in odd-numbered years this creates a "gap" during which the city does not have a full contingent of council members to conduct business in the event of an emergency.
The gap could be eliminated through a charter amendment that allows new council members to take office in December.
Along with swearing in new council members, the first Monday business meeting in January is devoted to appointing a new mayor and vice mayor. Moving the reorganization meeting to December would give the council more time to tackle policy issues, according to the memo.
Other potential changes the council is expected to mull include upping the compensation its members receive, creating council districts and making the mayor a voter-elected position.
The council has until Aug. 8 to place any charter amendments on the fall ballot. They would appear alongside a contest for five council seats as well as proposals to increase the transient occupancy tax from 12 percent to 14 percent and modernize the utility users tax.

WHAT: The Palo Alto City Council is scheduled to discuss proposals to extend term limits and reduce the number of council seats from nine to seven.
WHEN: Monday, 6:30 p.m.
WHERE: Council Chambers, City Hall, 250 Hamilton Ave.

Call me what you will, but this is a surf forum, and I'm not the shmuck who posted on James Goober's death.
BTW there is no discussion in the press of his drinking, smoking, and stuffing his face with salami and can oils that lead to the massive heart attack of such a young man.
Lower your flags at half mast for that guy? Yeah right.
conflating this subject with any political, social, or civil issue makes little sense. perhaps the most pathetic irony here is criticizing the thread for relevance, while simultaneously injecting multiple other irrelevant subjects into it.

As your capstone experience in the Honors College, the senior honors thesis/creative project lets you work in-depth, one-on-one with a professor of your choice on a topic that's meaningful to you.
This individualized final requirement, normally completed in the seventh or eighth semester, allows you to integrate your own undergraduate experience. The project or thesis is usually—but not always—within your major or minor, and the form it takes depends upon your abilities and interests. The Honors College does not restrict the field or endeavor that you may work on for your senior honors project or thesis. If your major requires a senior capstone project, you may use that product for your honors requirement with minor tweaking; but you may also do something quite different.
When you approach your senior year, it's likely that you'll be ready, even eager, to undertake a rigorous project on a topic or in a field that you have chosen. You might do this by investigating a significant topic and developing a project that demonstrates the results and implications of your research.
The senior project frequently involves a written thesis, but many varieties are possible. In certain areas—such as telecommunications, creative writing, art, urban planning, or music—you may wish to compose a group of short stories, mount an exhibition, produce and direct a video, or plan a recital and perform in it. Before you can register for your honors senior project or thesis (HONR 499), you must review your plans with the dean or associate dean and submit a signed, approved thesis proposal. Your DegreeWorks will remind you that you need to make a thesis appointment; you may turn in your proposal at that time or shortly thereafter.
Whatever type of project you choose, keep in mind that this capstone experience represents final proof of your worthiness to be a Ball State Honors College graduate. The project also frequently becomes the centerpiece for your application for awards, scholarships, or graduate or professional study.
Project Guides This abbreviated Web guide introduces and explains the requirements of the senior honors thesis/creative project and provides a list of common questions and answers. It also indicates the range of possibilities open to you by offering examples of past theses and projects completed by recent honors students.
A complete hard-copy guide is available in the Honors College office in The Ball Honors House.

SUNNYVALE -- Aerohive Networks found enough enthusiasm for its mobile-focused networking offering to generate $75 million in an initial public offering, but the company didn't seem to generate enough buzz for a big pop in its Wall Street debut Friday.
Aerohive sold 7.5 million shares for $10 apiece, the company announced Thursday evening, establishing an initial valuation of $436 million. Upon reaching the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Friday morning under the ticker symbol HIVE, shares struggled to hit the IPO price, dipping as low as $8.81 before clawing back to close at $9.99 as CEO David Flynn and other employees rang the closing bell.
"It's a huge accomplishment," Flynn said in a telephone interview Friday morning. "We've had a ton of people driving hard for a year getting all the financials ready, and a ton of people driving hard for eight years building the company to get to this stage, so it's certainly an exciting milestone."
Aerohive's networking offering seeks to provide cloud management and remote access through a variety of devices while allowing businesses to maintain strong control, hitting the major tech buzzwords of late on Wall Street, "cloud" and "mobile." Aerohive competes with yet another Sunnyvale networking company, Aruba Networks, as well as San Jose networking giant Cisco Systems in the enterprise WLAN market for large businesses.
Flynn and founder Changming Liu, who is now chief technology officer, helped lead firewall company NetScreen Technologies to a huge 2001 IPO and eventual $4 billion acquisition by another Sunnyvale networking company, Juniper Networks, in 2004. The security background for Flynn -- who was also involved with firewall company Palo Alto Networks -- and Liu brought "deep security expertise over to the wireless world, which is a very significant part of what we deliver," Flynn said.
"One of the secret sauces of our architecture is the ability for access points to talk to each other and synchronize their state, to allow users to roam around and actually allow firewall sessions to move around," Flynn explained.
Since being founded in 2006, Aerohive has grown to service 13,100 customers as of the end of last year, boosting revenues from $34 million in 2011 to $107.1 million in 2013, while losses grew from $14.8 million to $33.2 million. Flynn said that investors want to see the company derive a bigger percentage of its revenues from selling software-as-a-service applications for mobile devices and other uses, and that will be a focus as the company moves toward profitability.
The proceeds from the stock sale will go toward general purposes, with Flynn saying, "The cash is more there for rainy-day protection, to make sure we're well-funded for any unforeseen economic downturns or other unexpected events."
However, one need for the company is a new headquarters, with employees scattered across three different sites in Sunnyvale, all within a block of each other. Flynn said that he doubts the company will leave Sunnyvale, which is home to a wealth of networking companies.
"I have spent 22 years of my life working in the networking security industry and never been more than three miles from where I am." Chief Marketing Officer David Greene noted. "Different companies, different locations, different moves, but I think there's some magnetic force that attracts us all to that neighborhood."
Aerohive will take in all the IPO proceeds, with venture capital investors -- which include Northern Light Venture Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, New Enterprise Associates, KPCB and DAG Ventures -- holding on to their stakes for now. Underwriters, led by Goldman Sachs and BofA Merrill Lynch, have access to an additional 1.125 million shares if desired.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Wednesday, March 27, 2013
MONETTA, S.C. (WRDW) -- "It's really exciting to see this starting today here," said Keith Liner, an Aiken County School Board member.
He's talking about the groundbreaking of a new addition, which will make room for a lot more students at the site of Ridge Spring-Monetta High School.
"It's the start of a phased plan to K-12 ... high school, middle school and elementary school on this site," said Warren Wintrode, principal of Ridge Spring-Monetta High School.
Principal Wintrode says these new buildings are much needed for a school built more than 50 years ago.
"This is a 57-year-old school built for 20th century students," he said. "Well, we're teaching 21st century students."
The new K-12 site would also allow for the Ridge Spring-Monetta Elementary/Middle school to join its sister school.
"We split two counties," Principal Wintrode explained. "This high school is in Aiken County and the elementary/middle is in Saluda County, so this would consolidate everything."
This groundbreaking marks phase one. The district's run into funding problems, and some are saying the entire project could take up to 20 years to complete.
"We do the best we can with the resources we have available to do the facility-type work like this in our five-year plan," Liner said.
Voters said no to a bond referendum that could have paid to finish this project and several others in Aiken County a few years ago.
Without that money, the district is left to build in phases. Replacing North Augusta High School, for instance, would take eight phases. Ultimately, that would mean it might take 40 years to build another North Augusta High. But there may be another answer.
"We're looking at something in the future of a one-cent sales tax," said Liner.
If people in Aiken County support it, and state lawmakers change a technicality at the state level, it would give the district enough to complete projects like this Ridge Spring-Monetta faster.
"Hopefully, we'll be able to continue on with this project and other projects in the county in years to come," Liner said.

The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) Board of Directors, meeting in Manhattan today, engaged in a spirited discussion over its contract with Global Betting Exchange (GBE) to provide technological upgrades to NYRA's advance deposit wagering platform.
In response to an interim management team request to rebid the GBE contract, the Board approved a motion to move forward with the GBE contract subject to a review of material that will be delivered to NYRA's Audit & Compliance Committee and Finance Committee Chairs. If the Chairs agree that there was a significant variance between NYRA's procurement policy and the actions taken in this case, NYRA will move forward with a rebid. If not, the existing contract with GBE will be executed.
Chair David Skorton also provided an update on the CEO search, revealing that the nominations and governance committee is close to recommending a CEO candidate to the full board.
"I think, with board approval, an announcement of a CEO for NYRA is imminent," Skorton said.
The Board also heard an update from NYRA's interim management team on the Belmont Park spring/summer meet to date, including a recap of the 145th running of the Belmont Stakes on June 8. NYRA's Audit & Compliance Committee and Finance Committee also issued reports to the board.
Later in the meeting, the board also voted to approve the Saratoga 150 plaque, approved the naming of the Oklahoma training track viewing stand the Whitney Viewing Stand, and approved NYRA's remaining racing dates for 2013. Finally, the board voted to prohibit political contributions and fundraisers on NYRA property.
The Board also heard a report from the Nominations and Governance Committee and voted to approve the minutes of the Board meeting held on April 29, 2013.
All materials discussed and reviewed during the Board's meetings, replays of past meetings, and a list of Board members are available here.
About the NYRA Board: The NYRA Board consists of 17 directors: eight appointed by Governor Cuomo; two directors each appointed by the Senate and Assembly; and five directors appointed by the former NYRA Board. Breeders and Horsemen each have an ex officio member. The NYRA Board is in effect for 3 years, following which NYRA will revert back to majority private control. Seven of the appointees are new to the NYRA Board, and bring experience from the entertainment, finance, and legal fields in addition to horse racing.

Very steep and rocky on a hillside
Back Yard Desert Garden Front Yard Garden Large (5,000 - 10,000 sq ft.) Stone / Rock Water-Wise
4 of 30: Two Aloe marlothii v. spectabilis in bloom with a large Euphorbia ammak in the back and some Senecios.
6 of 30: Yellow Leucospermums in bloom. I have an orange one further up the path but because it is in a slightly shaded spot, it doesn't bloom as well.
8 of 30: A Senecio vine growing amongst an Aloe arborescens on the cul-de-sac. The was taken when it was cold, cloudy, and sprinkling.
9 of 30: At the bottom of the old part of the yard, at the end of the path, I took this image looking down towards the newer, underdeveloped part of the yard.
10 of 30: My house & yard as seen along the cul-de-sac. I can see all the way to the ocean and the Coronado Islands further out.
11 of 30: Looking up at the older part of the yard and the old mulch pile. I recouped about 200 sq. ft. of additonal flat land up there by piling clippings, cuttings, vegetable matter from the house, old potting soil and other miscellaneous earth for 25 years.
14 of 30: A weeping form of the Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. I have a couple of regular, straight ones right next to it.
29 of 30: At the bottom of the yard, in a transitional area between the old section of the yard and the new section which I'm still working on. I hung a hammock between two pepper trees (Schinus molle). There's a couple of Adirondack-style chairs there too.
Comments / Questions
You know you completely rock, right?
Gorgeous!!! What a lush landscape! How big were those columnar cacti when you planted them, and how long ago did you plant them? How many sq ft are we looking at here? Wow--absolutely spectacular. Thank you for the inspiration.
I'd like to congratulate you, too, on reaching this mark! Even though we've been competitors in the contest, I gave you my vote because it's obvious the amount of work you've done to bring your yard to this level. Well done!
Congratulations on another amazing feat.....you have overtaken my yard (the one that inspired YardShare and was the first yard on the site) as the Most Viewed yard on YardShare!!!! 10,400 views and counting! Keep up the good work and thanks so much for sharing your yard with all of us. Your yard truly is inspirational.
I've been watching this contest with great interest, but I'm dismayed to see that someone who has not posted any photos of her yard has moved ahead of you. Something is definitely wrong here! You have obviously put a lot of effort into beautifying your yard and from the comments I see posted here, I'm not the only one who feels this way.

thank you for sharing. Does it ever freeze there? I never knew therewere so many different cacti. Are they long livers?
That's too bad. Some forums are hyper-sensitive to posting links to outside sites and automatically assume you are advertising for that site. I guess they don't understand that YardShare is simply a place for your virtual yard to live. Their loss!
This is wonderful! I'm inspired now to add some vertical elements to my flat patch of grass and try to create some more visual interest with strong shapes in the way you have.
Hi Steep-n-Rocky,
I saw that you added some more pics and I really took the time to look through your post. Your pictures are just magnificent! I am going to add you to my favorites and when I have a little more time, I would like to ask some questions about some of your plants, if you would not mind. I believe California and Florida have a bit of a similar climate (maybe) so possibly some of the plants you have would do well here.
-Your friendly rival, Cusoli
Woww....,what an amazing accomplishment ! You took on a very difficult terrain and with your love for gardening, turned it into a lush and enviting private retreat, that rivals any resort I've ever seen !
This is incredible - I can not believe it - all the textures, the layers the mass plantings !!!! You SHOULD be featured on Gardeners Diary on HGTV or some show - sometimes its like looking under the sea - but I know its dry land - LOVED every picture. I bet you have the sore body and hurt hands and feet to show for it too! I just cant believe what you have accomplished. I want to take my yard off now - looks awful boring compared to this.
Was this yard established when you moved in or did you do all the planting? (Must have been quite a task if you were the one who worked on those steep slopes!) I live near the ocean, too, but up in the cold Northeast where none of your beautiful plants would survive. Doesn't mean that I can't enjoy yours! It's fun seeing how different gardens are across the country.
Your garden is a work of art. I'm adding this to my Favorites page so I can visit it whenever I need a lift. Thanks for sharing it with us.
This is sooooooooo pretty. Is this your personal garden and where are you located? Zone?
I can't imagine weeding this kind of garden. Did you ever get stuck by a quill? I bet you get a lot of hummingbirds. I have a few succulents in pots. I am in Wisconsin so I have to bring them all in the house for our LONG Winter.

SAN JOSE -- David Fales had no interest in playing for San Jose State coming out of high school, and then-coach Dick Tomey wasn't clamoring to get him.
"I was like, 'I'm not coming here,' " Fales said of SJSU. "I was recruited, and Coach Tomey didn't want to bring me on because there was no film of me running."
Dual-threat quarterbacks were, and still are, the rage in college football, and Fales does not fit that mold. Instead, he's a pocket-passing gunslinger who broke every significant single-season SJSU passing record last year.
Now, with some legitimate star power on the field with him, Fales is back to lead the Spartans in his senior season. He hopes this year will serve as an encore to last season's 11-2 Military Bowl-winning campaign that goes down as the best in the school's major college football history.
The season begins Thursday at 7 p.m. against Sacramento State. Fales, who is 3,355 yards and 26 touchdowns away from breaking the school's career records in those categories, seems destined to go down as one of the best quarterbacks in school history.
"He's a very humble guy," senior wide receiver Noel Grigsby said. "Now he's stepping into more of a leadership role, and I'm right behind him. I love David like a brother. He's always willing to learn more. He never shows anybody up."
Plenty of attention was directed toward Fales during the offseason. Not Johnny Manziel-type attention -- Fales roomed with the Heisman Trophy winner at the Elite 11 camp and learned some of what the Texas A&M quarterback has to deal with -- but Fales has seen his share of national press.
Requests for his time are "clearly more" than when Jeff Garcia was at SJSU in the 1990s, according to longtime sports information director Lawrence Fan.
He's caught the eye of NFL scouts, some of whom laud him as a potential first-round pick, while others question his arm strength that he's spent the offseason improving.
"A lot of people still have questions about what he can or can't do, but David doesn't worry about that," Grigsby said. "He just wants to win games and have fun. He has the million dollar smile on his face all the time."
The smile wasn't always there. He began his career at Nevada and quickly learned the Wolf Pack wouldn't be switching back to a passing offense after Colin Kaepernick graduated, as Fales was told during his recruitment.
After transferring to Monterey Peninsula College, he split time at quarterback for the first five games and began questioning himself. But he also learned some maturity.
"I had the mindset, 'I'm a Division I player, I'm going to a JC, I'm going to be the guy,' " Fales said. "But you've got to compete and earn everything. It was definitely a big transition period for me."
Although San Jose State showed little interested in Fales out of high school, it was the only big school to come calling after his two years at Monterey Peninsula.
Fales ended up stepping in to a perfect situation last year and thrived. Now, he has made the transition to new coach Ron Caragher's staff easier.
"It's great to have a field general who's really an extension of the coaching staff and your philosophy," Caragher said. "He's a competitor, he's a leader."

Hello I need some help Please. Basically I installed the PS3 Media Server on my computer because I am trying to stream a MKV video file on my playstation 3 from my computer. The PS3 Media Server syncs perfectly fine with my ps3. However, when I go on to my Playstation 3 under media server the MKV file that I am looking for doesn't show up. There are many other things that do appear such as AVI video files, but not the MKV video file that I want. For some reason the MKV file doesn't appear.
I should note that I have downloaded and installed DIVX codec pack so I am not missing a codec pack.
Also, I should say that on the computer ps3 media server, under "navigation/share settings" tab I have already added the shared folders, which would be the desktop for me (that is where my MKV video file is located).
So if anyone would please help I would be grateful, thanks!

Commemorate Your Beloved Pet with Comforting Pet Memorials0
Losing a pet can be devastating, but commemorating your beloved pet with a pet memorial can help ease the pain by giving you a chance to remember your furry friend long after they've gone.
In honor Sept. 14th's National Pet Memorial Day, we'd like to offer some pet memorial suggestions that you can use to remember your own beloved animals, or as sympathy gifts to comfort a family member or friend who recently lost their family member.
Remember your furry friend long after they've gone with one of our Personalized Pet Memorials, like the customer favorite "In Loving Memory" Memorial Pet Stone. The tasteful garden stone can be laser engraved with your pet's name and memorial years below your choice of a pet graphic. Your graphic choices include a paw print, dog bone, cat, fish, bunny, hamster, horse or turtle. Place your Pet Memorial Stone in your pet's favorite place in the yard, as an accent piece for the garden or near your walkway so you can remember them every day.
The holidays will be hard without them, but you can keep your furry friend close to your heart during the Christmas season with the Pet Memorial Photo Ornament. The porcelain ornament can be personalized with your favorite photo of the little guy or girl, along with any two lines of personalization. You can choose to include your pet's name and memorial years, a few words about a fond memory or any message you'd like.
Their spirit will live on because each year when it's time to decorate the Christmas tree, you'll be able to look back and remember all of your favorite family memories that you shared together.
You can still have your beloved pet be a part of your everyday life by personalizing the "Paw Prints On Our Heart" Canvas Print (at left) or one of our personalized picture frames, like the "Paw Prints In Heaven" Photo Frame and displaying it prominently in your home for all to see. Both of these gifts can feature any precious photo, your pet's name and memorial years. Additionally, the Canvas Print comes with three lovely memorial verses to choose from and the option of a black, grey or tan background.
Display your canvas or picture frame in the place your family gathers most, so you can feel the spirit of your family pet with you each and every day.
We hope these Personalized Pet Memorial Gifts will help you, your family and friends find comfort during this difficult time and we hope they help you keep the spirit of your beloved family pet with you forever.
3 Tips Every Parent Needs to Know Before School Starts0
Your kids may be headed back to school soon, but they're not the only ones who need to be prepared!
That's why we put together some great parent tips that will help get you organized and prepare you for your kids' first day back to school and every day after that, too!
Life is about to get crazy, so crazy in fact, that you'll feel as though you don't have a second to spare in your entire busy day.
That's why we suggest personalizing your very own "From the Mom of…" Notepad (at left) complete with all of your kids' names plus your contact information, including your name, cell phone number and email address.
These cute notepads are sure to come in handy the next time you need to write a quick note for the babysitter, teacher, coach or even another parent you're trying to schedule a play date with!
Think of it like your own personal mommy or daddy business card – it's sure to save you a ton of time and stress whether you have one child or a dozen!
Another way to reduce stress as you're preparing for the new school year is to update your own planner or home calendar with the entire school calendar, including all after-school activities your children may have.
You'll be happy to have everyone's schedule all in one spot that you can refer to throughout the year (especially parents who have children in different schools). However, in order to prevent you from feeling overwhelmed, we suggest personalizing our "Simply Organized" Calendar Pad which will help you keep your entire family's schedule organized on a week-to-week basis.
Your calendar will be much more manageable and much less intimidating so you'll be more likely to stick to it (we also offer Personalized Calendar Pads that your kids can use to help keep their individual schedules organized, too)!
While both of the above tips should help reduce stress, any realistic parent knows that stress is inevitable.
The best way to fight that back-to-school stress is to be at the top of your game, by making sure you've started the day off right with your morning coffee! Head over to our Personalized Coffee Mug Department and have fun picking out a new back-to-school mug or travel tumbler design that you can personalize with your favorite photos, colors and message!

Who is Nature's Secret?
At Nature's Secret we believe that total body wellness is the key to overall health.
The conventional approach to health sees the body as a set of separate parts, each needing their own separate treatments. Take a look at the way our medical system is organized - from cardiologists to dermatologists, we have a doctor for nearly every body part.
But nature has a well-kept secret...there is no separation between any of our systems. They are all intricately connected in a brilliant dance only nature could orchestrate. At Nature's Secret, we develop our products using this whole-body philosophy. We understand, for example, that sluggish digestion can lead to low energy levels and shouldn't always be supported with caffeinated energy tablets.
Our approach focuses on the origins of imbalance, not the signs of imbalance. That is Nature's Secret, total body wholeness and wellness.

What, no Snacktaku review in this week's Kotaku Off-Kilter? Let's make it up with a Speak Up from commenter Cheese Addict, who is compiling a list of American snacks to have sent in a care package oveseas. What U.S. snacks could you not live without?
My friend's mom asked me to buy her something she could only find on an American website. So she paid me to set up a mail forwarding service and have it shipped to her. The mail forwarding account is still mine, so you know what this means? Care package time! Help me make a list of packaged foods you can only get in America that I miss so dearly living abroad. I mean we get the big name stuff like Oreos, Doritos, and Twix bars, but there's just so much stuff my American friends and I here in Hong Kong miss like hell. Here's a few things I can think of:
- Nerds candy
- White cheddar Cheezits
- Flipz chocolate covered pretzels
- Chex Mix
- Combos stuffed pretzel things
- Velveeta mac and cheese
- Still debating whether or not I want a Twinkie for old time's sake
What's your favorite packaged snack?
