CHESTER - Officials at Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort confirmed Tuesday that 35 employees received pink slips last week.
Several people left The Review phone tips over the weekend, stating 40 to 50 people were let go on Friday.
Calls to the public relations office of Tamara Pettit are being routed elsewhere with the message, "the number of the person you are trying to reach is no longer in service." A switchboard operator confirmed there were layoffs and forwarded Pettit's calls to Missy Lawrence's voice mail.
Lawrence left a voice mail at The Review on Tuesday confirming the layoffs. She stated the company was not going to have a press conference or issue any type of press release because, the layoffs affected "just 35 people."
Lawrence declined to comment on whether Pettit was among those laid off. She said, however, that Pettit is no longer with the company, and the new media contact is Leslie Campbell.
Repeat calls to Lawrence and Campbell were not returned Tuesday, nor was one to the office of Jack Sours, Mountaineer CEO.
Last week's layoffs are not the first in Mountaineer's recent history.
The company handed out 35 pink slips Aug. 29, 2009, on that occasion issuing a press release stating the layoffs were "to enable Mountaineer to operate at optimal efficiency in a difficult economic climate." The release stated job cuts were permanent and mostly involved administrative personnel.
In November 2009, the company added 700 jobs to its table games department, having previously laid off 93 other workers in different departments that same month.
In January 2009, the resort cut 175 employees from several of its departments.
In December 2009, Mountaineer reached a three-year agreement with the Horsemen's Benevolent Protection Association, just weeks after the West Virginia Racing Commission (WVRC) agreed to cut two months from the 2010 live horse racing schedule. The West Virginia Racing Commission approved an altered version of Mountaineer's original request to shut down live horse racing in January, February, November and December.
The approved schedule was for live horse racing five days a week from March 1 through Dec. 21.
The schedule approved by the WVRC kept the racing schedule at 210 days, the minimum number of racing days required by the the state for the Hancock County resort to legally operate slot machines and table games.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Here's an early Christmas present for you all from the camera traps hidden deep within the Gola Rainforest National Park – a rare glimpse of the elusive chimpanzees that call this magical place home.
It's thought that the forest is home to around 300 chimps and the fact that these two have been caught on camera suggests that they're doing well within the park boundaries. As Christmas presents go, that's pretty high up on our lists!
From all of us here in the Rainforest Team and from everyone out on the ground out in our seven rainforest projects around the world, have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

World Agroforestry Center Launches REDD-Alert Project
June 2009: The World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF), a research center of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), has initiated a research project on the socioeconomic drivers and impacts of deforestation.
The study will seek to provide policy options for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD).
The project, called REDD-Alert, will focus on land-use changes in Cameroon, Indonesia, Peru and Viet Nam, and investigate key issues related to REDD such as: drivers of change in the forest/agroforest transition; aboveground carbon stock accounting and abatement cost curves; belowground carbon and greenhouse gas emissions of major land-use options in the tropical forest margins; and linking incentives, drivers, emissions and accountability. These and other issues were also discussed during a stakeholder workshop convened on the occasion of the project's official launch in Bogor, Indonesia, on 25 May 2009.
The project will address the 'missing link' between agreed national level targets under international level REDD rules and changes in the behavior of indigenous people, farmers, ranchers, and loggers who live on the land. The findings of this three-year project will be interpreted in respect of current and future UNFCCC policies on deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as in the broader global context of the sustainable use of tropical forests.

UNDP Global Event Focuses on Capacity Development
March 2010: The UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the Government of Morocco hosted a global event on "Capacity is Development" from17-19 March 2010, in Marrakesh. The event brought together world and community leaders, including development practitioners, from the North and South to discuss policies, institutional reforms and investment decisions that have enabled capable States and societies to sustain human development.
The event focused on the capacity development policies and investments necessary to: impact progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); support post-conflict and fragile States to rebuild their countries; support capacity development strategies to contribute to 'climate-proofing' national development goals; and build resilience while reducing vulnerability to external shocks. The event aimed to better understand how investments in capacity development strengthen institutions and promote human development, and the value of strategic partnerships and South-South collaboration to strengthen institutional capacities.
Participants at the event developed a series of inputs that are also expected to feed into the High-Level Meeting on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to be held in September 2010, focusing on institutional reforms and investments to build strong and capable institutions to achieve the national development goals, to promote climate-resilient development, and rapid and long-term recovery after conflict and disaster.

People who plan to buy coverage after the health insurance marketplaces open Oct. 1 need to consider premium and out-of-pocket costs when making their choices, according to Kaiser Health News.
One of the health care overhaul's most far-reaching provisions prohibits health plans from refusing to cover people who are sick or charging them higher premiums. Still, for people with serious medical conditions, the online health insurance marketplaces present new wrinkles that could have significant financial impact.
Obviously, premium costs will be an important consideration for consumers. But just as important will be a realistic assessment of what kinds of out-of-pocket costs they could expect with different types of policies and what subsidies they will be eligible for.
"Everybody should be factoring in cost sharing along with the premium to try to assess what their total financial exposure is," says Jennifer Tolbert, director of state health reform at the Kaiser Family Foundadtion. (KHN is an editorially independent program of the foundation.)
The law requires new individual and small group plans sold on the online marketplaces, also called exchanges, and on the private market to cover a comprehensive set of 10 "essential health benefits," including prescription drugs, hospitalization and doctor visits. The benefits covered will be similar in all plans, but the proportion of the costs that a consumer pays will vary.
There will be four different levels of plan coverage, each identified by a precious metal: Platinum plans will pay 90 percent of covered expenses, on average; gold plans will pay 80 percent, silver plans 70 percent and bronze plans 60 percent.
Tax credits to help cover the cost of the premiums for plans sold on the exchanges will be available to people with incomes up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level ($45,960 for an individual in 2013), and cost-sharing subsidies will reduce the out-of-pocket costs for people with incomes up to 250 percent of poverty ($28,725 for an individual in 2013). The maximum amount that consumers will owe out of pocket for in-network medical claims will generally be capped at roughly $6,400 for individuals and $12,700 for families in 2014. (Those figures do not include money spent on premiums.)
How all those elements work together can have cost and coverage implications for people with high medical expenses.
As the Affordable Care Act reaches full implementation, retirees are being pushed out of company-sponsored insurance plans and into the marketplaces. This could affect whether employees drop their company coverage, Bloomberg reports.
U.S. retirees being pushed out of company-sponsored health plans may prove a harbinger for existing employees as well.
About $6.7 billion in taxpayer money may be at risk if companies raise premiums by as little as $100 a month. That may spur as many as 2.25 million people to drop company coverage and enroll in plans under the Affordable Care Act, Stanford University researchers said.
International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) and Time Warner Inc. (TWX) have said that they'll give retirees a stipend to move to coverage in private health exchanges. Rising health-care costs and the availability of new government coverage options may spur companies to similarly shift active workers out of employer-sponsored insurance.
The cost of Obamacare "is much more sensitive than people previously appreciated" to employers' decisions to drop coverage, Jay Bhattacharya, an economist and Stanford associate professor of medicine, said in an interview. He published a study in the journal Health Affairs yesterday that shows about 37 million workers would get a better deal in the taxpayer-subsided exchanges next year than through their companies as employers raise or redistribute health costs.
"The taxpayers are going to get hammered," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former Congressional Budget Office director who is now president of American Action Forum, a Washington-based advocacy group that opposes the health law. "It's going to be extraordinarily expensive."

Bloomby Kelle Hampton
Love me. Love me. I'm not what you expected, but oh, please love me. That was the most defining moment of my life. That was the beginning of my story. From the outside looking in, Kelle Hampton had the perfect life: a beautiful two-year-old daughter, a loving husband, a thriving photography career, and great friends. When she learned she was pregnant with her second child, she and her husband, Brett, were ecstatic. Her pregnancy went smoothly and the ultrasounds showed a beautiful, healthy, high-kicking baby girl. But when her new daughter was placed in her arms in the delivery room, Kelle knew instantly that something was wrong. Nella looked different than her two-year-old sister, Lainey, had at birth. As she watched friends and family celebrate with champagne toasts and endless photographs, a terrified Kelle was certain that Nella had Down syndrome-a fear her pediatrician soon confirmed. Yet gradually Kelle's fear and pain were vanquished by joy, as she embraced the realization that she had been chosen to experience an extraordinary and special gift. With lyrical prose and gorgeous full-color photography, Bloom takes readers on a wondrous journey through Nella's first year of life-a gripping, hilarious, and intensely poignant trip of transformation in which a mother learns that perfection comes in all different shapes. It is a story about embracing life and really living it, of being fearless and accepting difference, of going beyond constricting definitions of beauty, and of the awesome power of perspective. As Kelle writes, "There is us. Our Family. We will embrace this beauty and make something of it. We will hold our precious gift and know that we are lucky."

Tutunzane: Scale-Up of Home-Based Care Activities for People Living with HIV/AIDS
Building upon Pathfinder's community home-based care work in Tanzania, the CDC-funded Tutunzane project provided care and support to people living with HIV and AIDS as well as their families. Pathfinder worked to improve the quality and range of HIV services available to patients in Tanzania and also assisted their efforts to reintegrate into their communities.
Home-based care continues to be an important element of our work in Tanzania. With the help of a two-way referral system between facility and community, Pathfinder assisted thousands of families in accessing additional services such as family planning and prevention of mother-to-child transmission.
Pathfinder coordinated clinical care training for Ministry of Health and Social Welfare health providers to better serve survivors of gender-based violence and violence against children. Through Tutunzane, Pathfinder continued to support the provision of services with a focus on vulnerable children, and support to the Zanzibar AIDS Control Program, the National AIDS Control Program, and the Muhimbili University for Health and Allied Sciences to build national capacities for quality behavior change programming.

CLI is great unless you need to visualize something you are working on. For instance, OpenGL games would be difficult to write using nothing but the CLI. Web design is another work related aspect that you still need a GUI for, just so you can see how your site is looking to anyone visiting it. Sure you can use elinks, but that's not going to help you very much with images and such. I wish my work could all be accomplished in the CLI, but the only job I can think of that would allow me to stay in the CLI 100% of the time would be Linux System Admin.

As the New Year draws closer, so does the world's largest consumer electronics show -- the 2014 International CES in Las Vegas. Ahead of the big event, CES has published a booklet highlighting five technology trends to watch in the coming year. From driverless cars to digital health care, these are topics every investor should be familiar with.
One of these trends is our continuing reliance on robotics. iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT ) is well positioned to take advantage of this trend, in both the consumer and defense spaces. In this video, Rex Moore chats with CES Senior VP of Communications Jeff Joseph about iRobot and other areas investors should pay attention to.
What's next for tech?
Interested in the next tech revolution? Then you'll need to learn about the radical technology shift some say forced the mighty Bill Gates into a premature retirement. Meanwhile, early in-the-know investors are already getting filthy rich off it, by quietly investing in the three companies that control its fortune-making future. You've heard of one of them, but probably not of the other two. To find out what they are, click here to watch this shocking video presentation!

Erie SeaWolves expect Voss back in rotation
Jay Voss won't pitch during the Erie SeaWolves' current homestand, but a return to their rotation is expected.
Voss went on the disabled list April 19, two days after he departed before the second inning of his start against Trenton because of a left elbow injury.
Although it looked serious at the time, Erie manager Chris Cron was happy to learn Voss's MRI revealed no structural damage.
"It's not the worst-case scenario," Cron said. "It was a strain of some sort. He's down in Florida rehabbing."
Voss began the 2012 Eastern League season as the designated ace of Erie's staff.
Whether the elbow was a factor or not, he was 0-3 with a 6.10 earned-run average when he was sidelined.
- If Erie's hitters were intimidated about facing Andy Pettitte Wednesday at Trenton, they didn't show it.
The SeaWolves scored four runs in five-plus innings off the former New York Yankees left-hander, whom they saddled with a loss in their 10-4 victory. A sellout crowd of 8,146 showed up at Waterfront Park to watch Pettitte's third minor league start and first for the Thunder in his bid to rejoin the franchise he's played for 13 seasons.
Pettitte, 39, allowed seven hits, walked one and struck out three. The five-time World Series winner, whose 19 postseason victories are the most in Major League Baseball history, departed after 81 pitches.
"I wasn't happy with my command," Pettitte said in a story by Danny Wild of mlb.com. "I made a few more mistakes than I had in my other starts. The weather was obviously different than it was in Florida, which is something I have to get used to, as well. A couple of (Erie hitters) got some good swings against me. I know, I'm not there yet."
Cron didn't try to downplay that game to the SeaWolves.
"It definitely wasn't a regular April 25 day," he said. "There was a sellout crowd. It was a very good environment and we were up for it. Guys at this level don't see the all-time winningest postseason pitcher throw against you, no matter how old he is."
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Pettitte is expected to remain with the Thunder while he builds up his pitch count. Pettitte's next scheduled start is Monday at Portland.
- Beating Pettitte wasn't the only road trip highlight for Cron. He won his 1,000th game as a minor league manager when Erie edged Bowie 4-3 on April 21 at Prince George's Stadium.
"It just means I'm old," the 48-year-old Cron said in a story by Sam Dykstra of mlb.com. "I've been around a while, but don't get me wrong �€" it's a special feeling. Our job as coaches is to always just try to make the players better. Do that, and the wins continue to pile up."
The SeaWolves surprised Cron, who began managing in 1995, before Friday's game against Binghamton at Jerry Uht Park. Radio announcer Greg Gania presented him with a framed lineup card from that April 21 win.
- Binghamton's Zack Wheeler has many years to go if wants to attain Pettitte's stature.
However, the 22-year-old right-hander was good enough through his first two minor league seasons to be ranked as the New York Mets' No. 1 prospect in Baseball America's 2012 handbook.
Wheeler is scheduled to start for Binghamton in today's 1:35 p.m. series finale at Erie. He has a 1.80 ERA, although poor run support has left him with a record of 0-2.
Fellow right-hander Mark Sorensen is the SeaWolves' probable starter. Sorensen, who pitched for Erie last season, was called up from Single-A Lakeland (Fla.) to fill in for Voss.
- Once Binghamton departs, Erie hosts Altoona for a four-game series.
Technically, though, it will constitute half of eight straight home games that the SeaWolves will play against the Curve at Uht Park. Following a May 4-9 road trip to Reading and Akron, Erie challenges Altoona again over the first four games of its ensuing homestand.
For now, the SeaWolves will concern themselves with those first four games against the Curve (8-11).
Erie and Altoona have 6:35 p.m. first pitches scheduled Monday through Wednesday, with Thursday's finale an 11:05 a.m. school-day game.
- Rawley Bishop went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly in Toledo's 3-2 loss to the visiting Gwinnett (Ga.) Braves on Friday. It was Bishop's first career Triple-A game after he was called up from the SeaWolves earlier that day.
Bishop's promotion was necessitated by slugger Brad Eldred's call-up by the parent Detroit Tigers.
Eldred led the Mud Hens, and the International League, in home runs (13) and RBIs (35) at the time of his summons.
Toledo took a 14-7 record, best in the league's West Division, into Saturday night's game against Gwinnett.
- Pitcher Jacob Turner was expected to make a rehabilitation start for the Single-A Lakeland Tigers at Daytona Beach, Fla., Saturday night.
The right-hander began this season with Toledo, but was experiencing arm problems.
Lakeland was 10-9 in the Florida State League's North Division before Saturday.
Third baseman Nick Castellanos, like Turner a former No. 1 draft pick by Detroit, went into that game against Daytona Beach as the Flying Tigers' leader in batting average (.413), RBIs (14), on-base percentage (.452) and slugging percentage (.560).

Fireman: Career Summary, Job Outlook, and Education Requirements
Explore the career requirements for firemen. Get the facts about education, training and licensure requirements to determine if this is the right career for you. Schools offering Fire Science degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Career Information at a Glance
Firefighters save property from damage due to fire and other disasters. The following article provides an overview about becoming a fireman, including the education requirements, duties and job outlook.
|Degree Required
|High school diploma
|Training Required
|Fire academy training; EMT certification may be required by some departments
|Key Responsibilities
|Operate fire vehicles; extinguish fires; respond to rescue and injury calls; fill out incident reports; maintain and clean firefighting equipment
|Job Growth (2012-2022)
|Average Salary (2013)
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
What is the Career Summary of a Firefighter?
Firefighters are often the first responders to fires, medical emergencies and traffic accidents located in all types of settings. Another important aspect of your job will be to rescue individuals in danger and administer first aid, which includes performing resuscitation, when necessary.
As a firefighter, you'll extinguish fires with the use of water delivered through high-pressure hoses or by fire extinguishers. Your firefighting equipment will also include axes and crowbars to gain entrance into structures and ladders to reach upper level floors. When a building cannot be saved from a fire, you may assist in recovering important items within the structure.
You'll work long shifts that may last for 24 hours or more. When not responding to an emergency, your time will be spent at your fire station cleaning and maintaining equipment, training and exercising.
What Is the Job Outlook?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment of firefighters was expected to grow about 7% between 2012 and 2022 (www.bls.gov). Job prospects were expected to be most favorable for applicants who are in peak physical condition, have some firefighting education and have passed mechanical aptitude examinations, says the BLS.
In May 2013, the mean annual salary of a firefighter was $48,270. If you were a federal government employee during this period, your mean annual salary was $48,420.
What Education Requirements Should I Complete?
Most fire departments require a high school diploma, although it has become more common for applicants to have taken fire engineering courses or to have earned an associate's or bachelor's degree in fire science. You'll find these degree programs cover topics such as hazardous materials, fire investigation, computer applications, fire protection systems and fire emergency survival. As an alternative to college, you may consider 4-year apprenticeship programs offered by several fire departments.
As a new recruit, you must complete training at a firefighting academy before you'll be permanently hired as a firefighter. At an academy, you'll learn building codes, firefighting procedures, first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), fire prevention techniques and the proper use of firefighting tools and rescue equipment.
You must also become a certified emergency medical technician or, in some larger cities, a certified paramedic. This medical training may be included in your academy program or you may have to acquire it elsewhere. Other typical requirements include passing a physical examination, a drug test and a written examination. Also, you must be at least 18 years old.

Give the Gift of Style This Holiday Season with PanacheBoxLauren Hartmann
Recently I got to try out a fun clothing box service called PanacheBox and I wanted to share it, because I thought it would make a great gift for the stylish little in your life this holiday season.
Here's the part where I admit that in general I'm not a huge fan of clothing boxes, because I like choosing the individual items that are in my daughter's closet. Most clothing boxes just "surprise" you with what's inside, but I love that PanacheBox gives you options. You can either let a stylist choose the items in your child's box or you can choose them yourself from the options on their site – all of which are beautifully curated and make it difficult to narrow down favorites.
This makes the box great for those like me who enjoy getting to choose their child's clothing, but also perfect for parents who don't want to spend the time doing it. The pieces my daughter is wearing (the dress and the shirt) were actually chosen by a stylist and I loved them.
The clothing is all very well made to stand up to real children who play and everything is washable, but the clean lines and simple palette make everything look perfectly polished without being too fussy.
The price for a PanacheBox is $275 if you choose your own pieces, or $300 if you have a stylist choose for you. This might seem a bit steep, but if you typically shop at smaller boutique type stores, then it's a great deal. You get 10 items of clothing that can be mixed and match with items that are already in your child's closet – everything is simple and lovely so it will always work with what you have. Here's an example of a box I put together from items that are currently available at PanacheBox:
You really do get a lot of bang for your buck. For my box, I chose two dresses, two pairs of jeans, a pair of leggings, a pair of shorts, tights, a knit headband, a shirt and a cardigan. Everything mixes and matches, so basically you're getting a season's wardrobe. A great option for the child who has hit a growth spurt and currently has nothing to wear.
PanacheBox is also offering mini boxes for the holidays for just $100. A mini box comes with four items and it's the box that we got and loved. A great option for the stylish little one in your life – boy or girl – there are boxes for all!
Happy online shopping!

Blue Tang Survives Six Hours Out of Water After Thief Smashes Tank
The man went into the store to buy a $5 fish and when the employee went to get the fish, the man helped himself to not one, but two Australian Duncan coral polyps, (Duncanopsammia axifuga) placing them in his pocket and wiping his hand on his shirt. The crime was caught on the store's video surveillance system.
With the license plate and the video, Los Angeles Police Department detectives arrested the man, Luis Argueta, 29. The detectives went to the man's apartment and found a fish tank, but not the corals. Argueta said the corals had died.
John B. Virata has been keeping fish since he was 10 years old. He currently keeps an 80 gallon cichlid tank, a 20 gallon freshwater community tank and a 29 gallon BioCube with an Percula clown, a huge blue green chromis, and a firefish all in his kitchen, and a 55 gallon FOWLR tank with a pair of Oscellaris clowns, two blue green chromis, a six line wrasse, a peppermint shrimp, assorted algae and a few aiptasia anemones in his living room.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — He was the celebrant for all seasons, a man who worked hard and played hard and never seemed to worry about tomorrow. Bob Baffert, brilliant with horses and gregarious with people, was on a nonstop treadmill where the horses never stopped running in the afternoon and he never stopped running when it was a celebration.
He won three Derbies, he won his share of Breeders' Cup races, and he always won in the never-ending race that all trainers run in search of clients with deep pockets.
And all the while the pressure of training perfection never ended. He desperately wanted to win his fourth Kentucky Derby. Every race was a pursuit of perfection. He pushed himself harder and harder, and why not? He was a winner who attracted other winners and it was never going to end.
It had always been this way from the time of his youth, when he trained quarter horses and won and won and won. Competition was the fuel that made Bob Baffert go.
Then in a single night with his wife, Jill, in a Dubai hotel room, the whole world turned upside down at age 59.
He was there to send a horse named Game On Dude to the post in the $10 million Dubai World Cup. He was just a few hours off the plane and the frightening moments of his life put him for the first time in a situation he could not control.
The sweating, the numbness in his arm, the vomiting. All the classic symptoms that said: heart attack. He was on his way to surgery, but even as they wheeled the gurney away he was telling his wife to call his assistant trainer back in the States with instructions for what to do next with a Derby-bound colt named Bodemeister.
He came home with three stents in his body and a lot of overdue advice about a lifestyle makeover.
That was in March.
Wednesday, he stood in front of Barn 33 here on a beautiful Kentucky morning, the way he does before every Derby, with an affability that belied recent history. He has lost weight, which he said he wanted to do anyway.
But life is hardly the same for him. He gets a wake-up call at 5:30 every morning and does a half-hour on the treadmill. The questions come each morning from the media and the patient answers he offers are always the same.
"I thought I was invincible. I just realize now that I've got this second chance. I could easily have died in Dubai. If it would have happened on the plane, I would have been toast."
He has been told that his new life requires a new approach to pressure — easier said than done. At his level this business takes a serious toll the higher you climb:
What if you lose an owner? What if a horse takes a misstep? What if you are counting on that horse? Baffert does not wear the pressure on his sleeve. He'd be better off if he did. He is in a business where too much internalizing can kill you and he knows it.
In addition to Bodemeister he has colt named Liaison headed for Saturday's Derby. Yesterday he was still figuring how to handle each of them. Sometimes, you even have to figure how to handle the other guys' horses.
Wednesday, for example, Baffert was thinking about the draw that was scheduled for later in the day and hoping he would be outside of Hansen. There are several speed horses in this race but it was his opinion that Hansen was the only one who could get away and stay away, all the way, if he got that kind of a jump.
He is well aware that Bodemeister not only tackles a field of 20 on Saturday, he also tackles the kind of equine history that boggles the imagination.
He did not get to the racetrack as a 2-year old. The last horse to win in that kind of situation was named Apollo. The year he won it, was 1882. That was a mere 130 years ago.
And then there was Bodemeister's old man — a horse named Empire Maker. In 2003, he came in here with the reputation as a super horse. And then three days before the race something went terribly wrong. The horse who couldn't lose ultimately did.
Now Bodemeister is one of the two or three horses in this thing with the big reputation.
And Baffert is supposed to relax.
Columnist emeritus Jerry Izenberg has covered 46 of the past 49 Kentucky Derbies. He has won three Churchill Downs Julep Cup Awards for that coverage.

How to prevent Emerald sound corruption

There's a problem that I've noticed with every single Emerald hack on PokeCommunity, including my own. It's when some notes in the BGM get corrupted so that they sound like they get replaced with 8-bit sounding beeeeeeeeps. Replacing/Inserting a new voicegroup does
fix this. Importing tracks from a clean Emerald rom does
fix this either.
What causes the sound corruption is when we repoint things to things that aren't actually free space. Even though Emerald supposedly uses 00 bytes as free space, I disagree with that. See all those FF bytes starting at 0xE3CF64? From there until the end of the rom, I think is Emerald's true free space. After all, all the other GBA games use FF bytes, so I think it's just a misconception that Emerald uses 00 bytes.
Unfortunately, once you get it, there is no way of fixing it. HOWEVER, if you plan on doing an Emerald hack, it's fully possible to prevent it. Here's what you need to do:
1. Open up your AdvanceMap folder
2. Open up the ini folder
3. Click on "AdvanceMap"
4. Scroll down to where it says "
5. Change "
" into "
6. Change "
" into "
Now you can safely do whatever you want in Emerald on AdvanceMap, without worrying about the sound corruption. If you open up an Emerald rom in a hex editor and go to 0xE3CF64, you'll notice that from here on until the end of the rom is FF bytes, and unfortunately, there's not much space left. So I recommend expanding the rom to 32mb using XSE, and make sure you fill with FF bytes.
Other tips:
*When repointing something in unLZ, make sure you repoint it to an offset higher than 0xE3CF64
*Me - obviously lol
*giradialkia - for helping me with some stuff
*HackMew - for making me feel stupid because I never realized that maybe most Emerald hackers suck at repointing and don't know what free space is
If you guys don't know what the sound corruption is, then I recommend trying out
Pokemon CrystalShards
. That hack is, hands down, the worst form of it I have ever seen (heard). It's pretty obvious in that hack.
For smart people that know what they're doing: Basically, to avoid sound corruption, make sure you don't insert anything that's before 0xE3CF64. Every piece of data you insert should be after 0xE3CF64.

Are you looking for the best dog shampoo for your pet?
There are many pet shampoos on the market today and they have a wide range of prices. So the question is what is the best shampoo for dogs? Even more importantly, what is the best shampoo for my dog?
Well lets start by looking at what goes into a shampoo. Surfactants are used to create the cleansing and foaming effect in shampoos and there is a big difference in the quality and safety of these chemical. Many of the lower end pet shampoos will use a harsh chemical based shampoo that is inexpensive and not good for dog's (or humans for that matter.) The best type of surfactants are all natural, coconut derived. They provide great cleansing properties and are safe to use. After testing many manufacturers, we found the best dog shampoo at Amazon, it is HydraPlex Plus Shampoo by Evolution Pets. It has all the right ingredients, is safe and does a wonderful job cleaning and healing. We found the shampoo we like the best at amazon.
What are Good Ingredients in Dog Shampoos, Coat Conditioners, and Lotions?
One of the best ingredient to look for in pet shampoos is colloidal oatmeal. Colloidal Oatmeal provides great moisturizing, soothing, and comforting properties and has a low ph which complements dog's skin very well.
Another great ingredient to look for is Aloe Vera. Aloe has so many wonderful healing,moisturizing, and conditioning properties. It is all natural, safe and also helps to provide a shine on the coat.
What are other ingredients that better shampoos for dog contain?
Perhaps the most beneficial family of ingredients to look for in shampoos for pets are essential oils. Essential Oils provide many moisturizing and healing properties and also have other health benefits as well. Some of the better oils are Lavender, Peppermint, and Spearmint.
If you are looking for a dog shampoo for skin problems, such as hot spots, TeaTree Essential Oil is also a good essential oil to look for.

At the time of the publication, in 1975, of his long, seven-part free verse poem, Dans le leurre du seuil, Yves Bonnefoy had already offered us Surrealist texts such as the Traité du pianiste (1946) and Anti-Platon (1947), the considerable poems of Du mouvement et de l'immobilité de Douve (1953), the dense, even deeply enigmatic pages of Hier régnant désert (1958), and the emerging self-clarifications of Pierre écrite (1965). This self-questioning poetic production was in addition to, but in intellectual and spiritual harmony with, an array of articles and books that range from the essays of L'improbable (1959) with its determining Tombeaux de Ravenne, the telling …

Vince Vaughn
- 2005
Road Warrior
Vaughn kicks off his Wild West Comedy Show tour in L.A. Serving as the show's emcee, he assembles a group of his unknown comic pals and hits the road for a 30-day, 30-gig schedule that closes in Chicago on Oct. 11. As the host, Vaughn pokes fun of himself onstage, showing an old clip of an ABC afterschool special about sex that featured him.
Meet the Parents
After spending several days in Chicago openly cuddling and kissing costar Aniston, Vaughn takes his new rumored love to the Lake Forest neighborhood where he grew up. They have lunch with his mother and stepfather. "Vince brings out something in Jennifer that brightens her," a source tells PEOPLE. "She's constantly belly-laughing when they're together. It's a joy to see."
- 2006
Premiere Performance
The Break-Up opens and earns more than $39 million in its opening weekend. It's a vindication for Vaughn, who conceived the project in 2003. "I had her in mind when I was writing because I wanted someone who was good with comedy but also a good actor," Vaughn tells EW of Aniston. "There was no second choice."
The Real Breakup
After months of denying both an engagement and impending breakup, reps for Vaughn and Aniston tell PEOPLE exclusively: "Jennifer and Vince mutually agreed to end their relationship but continue to be good friends today."
- 2007
Ho! Ho! Ho!
After appearing in Sean Penn's Into the Wild, Vaughn cashes in his biggest payday yet – $20 million – when he stars in the holiday comedy Fred Claus. Opposite Paul Giamatti and Rachel Weisz, Vaughn plays Santa's black-sheep brother.
- 2008
Another Christmas Flick
With Reese Witherspoon, Vaughn stars in Four Christmases, about a couple that embarks on visiting all four of their divorced parents on Christmas Day. The film opens at No. 1, raking in $31.7 million in its first weekend at the box office.

It's a Wedding, Baby!
Vaughn ties the knot with real estate agent Kyla Weber in a private ceremony outside of his Chicago hometown. The following winter, the newlyweds welcome their first child, daughter Locklyn, on Dec. 18. "I feel so grateful. You know, my wife's so great," the actor gushes. "But I gotta tell you. Just the minute they come out, so beautiful and just so sweet – I was just so glad that everyone was healthy."
- 2011
The Dilemma
The new dad stars alongside Jennifer Connelly and Kevin James in The Dilemma, playing a man who finds out his best friend's wife (Winona Ryder) is cheating on him. "The question of the movie is, how do you tell your friend something he doesn't want to hear without hurting him?" he says, adding that director Ron Howard "did a heck of a job" in the comedy that initially drew controversy for its use of a "gay" joke.
- 2013
Son-ny Day
Vaughn and wife Kyla welcome their second child, son Vernon Lindsay. Named after Vaughn's father, the baby boy weighs 8 lbs., 4 oz. and measures 21 inches long. "The whole family is so excited to welcome this sweet boy into the world," says a family friend. "I am sure Vince will have Vernon out on the ball field in no time!"

L. Kellenberger & Co. AG, part of the Hardinge Grinding Group, has opened a new facility for complete machining of large workpieces, including the bases for its line of high-precision grinders. The building was specifically designed for grinding and machining of large workpieces to close tolerances. It is located in Romanshorn, a town near Kellenberger's headquarters and main factory in St. Gallen, Switzerland, and represents an investment of roughly CHF 11 million for the new building and related infrastructure. About 20 new jobs were created.
"The added capacity was necessary for us to meet increased customer demands and will allow us to continue the manufacturing of all critical components in-house to maintain the highest quality of machine components," says company president Jürg Kellenberger.
Constructed to provide a climate-controlled, energy-efficient environment for such work, the building currently houses a newly rebuilt Waldrich-Coburg grinder. A second Waldrich machine of similar size will be installed in the fourth quarter of 2012. Now undergoing a complete rebuild, this machine was relocated from a leased building recently vacated by Kellenberger. The foundation for this machine is already in place. Also in operation are two Dixi high-precision milling machine moved from Hardinge's plant in Elmira, New York, and a Unisign VMC. Total production space is slightly more than 31,000 square feet.
Special features of the building include a centralized coolant filtration and chilling system and overhead gantry cranes, including one of 10-ton capacity. The interior space is lit entirely with high-intensity LED fixtures. The building is believed to be the first of its kind in Switzerland to use LED lighting exclusively.

PORTLAND – It hasn't been easy by any means and there's certainly more work to do, but right now, the Westview baseball team is right where it wants to be – in first place.
The Wildcats, hosting Beaverton on April 29, in the first game of their three-game series, rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Beavers 8-3 at Westview High School. Westview made it two in a row with a 2-0 win at Beaverton on April 30, then dropped a 4-3 home loss to the Beavers on Thursday.
Their 2-1 series victory gave the Wildcats a 6-3 Metro League record (12-8 overall) and left them tied with Jesuit for first place.
After their series-opening win, Westview's players talked about the rally that lifted them past the Beavers.
"It was a little unorthodox - we would've liked to have capitalized a little earlier in the game, but we got the 'W' and that's all that counts," said Westview junior catcher Tyler Stofiel, who went 1 for 2 with a two-run single in his team's watershed six-run sixth inning and also scored twice.
That six-run sixth inning – which saw the Wildcats rack up five hits and draw two walks – effectively put the game out of reach for the Beavers.
"Guys one through nine can put the bat on the ball and score some runs for us and that's what happened," added junior shortstop Parker Kelly, who went 2 for 4 at the plate, scored once and also had a two-run single in the sixth. "They come in bunches once we start making them fall. That's when our bats start coming alive."
Beaverton, meanwhile, saw its three-game winning streak snapped and got knocked out of first place. After their April 30 loss and May 1 win vs. Westview, the Beavers' record now stands at 5-4 in league play (9-8-1 overall) and a third-place tie with Sunset.
"That's a tough loss," said Beaverton senior second baseman Justin Wakem, who went 1 for 3 at the plate and scored once. "Especially against these guys - it's a big rivalry."
"I thought we were ready to play," added Beaverton junior shortstop Casey Cornwell, who went 2 for 4 and drove in one run. "I think we jumped on them early. We did what we needed to do. We just didn't finish up, keep adding on every inning."
After a scoreless first inning, Beaverton broke through for three runs in the top of the second against Westview pitcher Kenyon Yovan. Wakem led off with a single and scored on a three-base Westview error for the first run, Drew Kimmer squeezed home teammate Sam Noyer with the second, and Cornwell doubled down the third base line to plate Colin Lipps for that 3-0 edge.
Yovan, to his credit, steadied himself after that and did so in impressive fashion. He set down Beaverton's final 15 batters in order in the third through seventh innings, allowing just four hits and three walks while striking out eight.
Yovan's success gave the Wildcats' hitters a chance to get back in the game and they did just that starting in the third inning. There, Westview loaded the bases with two outs, then saw senior left fielder Kyle Cox come through with a single off Beaverton starter Nolan Lafollette to cut his team's deficit to 3-2.
Then, in the sixth, the Wildcats ran wild. They put together five hits and two walks against reliever Andrew Carter, got RBI singles from both Taiki Ishii and Kaeta Fabrega, and then added a pair of two-run singles by Stofiel and Kelly to put the game on ice.
"When we get in our groove, I don't know if you want to be on defense with everyone we have coming up," Kelly said.
"One through nine, our lineup's been hitting pretty well," Stofiel added. "We've just got to keep up the energy and keep going and capitalize on this one."
