Little Mike Retired to Old Friends
Spanish Steps gelding arrived July 29.
Spanish Steps gelding arrived July 29.
Gentlmens Agrement won for the fourth time in six starts July 10 to spoil the anticipated return of 2012 Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT) winner Little Mike after a more than two-year layoff at Gulfstream Park.
With an ongoing horse neglect case involving trainer Maria Borell and her father grabbing headlines, Carlo Vaccarezza hopes the return of his turf star Little Mike after a two-year hiatus sends a different message—that most racehorse owners care.
The races faced by the first winners for freshman sires Get Stormy and Calimonco could not have been more different.
Four-time grade I winner Little Mike has not raced since winning the Flying Pidgeon Stakes May 17, 2014, at Gulfstream Park, but trainer/owner/breeder Carlo Vaccarezza is preparing the gelding for a 2016 comeback.
A visual look at some of the new stallions for 2016, arranged in alphabetical order. View Slideshow
Multiple graded stakes winner Al Khali has been retired and will stand the 2016 breeding season at Keane Stud near Amenia, N.Y., for an advertised fee of $2,500.
A $190,000 weanling colt by first-crop sire Graydar and the $180,000 broodmare prospect Judy Legend were the six-figure lots at the Keeneland November sale's 10th session, which posted sharp gains.
Spendthrift Farm confirmed Oct. 5 it is moving Court Vision and Victor's Cry from Ontario back to its Central Kentucky farm for the 2016 breeding season.
Millionaire Smart Bid, a two-time graded stakes-winning son of Smart Strike, has been relocated to stand the 2016 breeding season at Milky Way Farm near Temecula, Calif., for a fee of $3,500.
A tough cast of characters will fight it out in the $250,000 Bowling Green Handicap (gr. IIT), an 11-furlong race for older horses on the Saratoga Race Course inner turf Aug. 1.
First-time starter Hammers Vision won the fifth race at Belmont Park July 19 and became the first winner for five-time group I winner and Canadian stallion Court Vision.
Two years ago, Finnesgans Wake entered the Secretariat Stakes (gr. IT) off a third-place finish in the Virginia Derby (gr. IIIT), and trainer Dale Romans promised, "This horse has a big one in him."
Spendthrift Farm's Ontario-based stallion Court Vision will shuttle to Juan Carlos Harding's Haras Las Araucarias in Chile for the 2014 Southern Hemisphere breeding season.
A list of likely starters for the five grade I events on the Belmont Stakes day undercard June 7 has been released by the track's racing office, headed by the $1.25 million Metropolitan Handicap.
Standing in the winner's circle following the win by Little Mike in the $90,000 Flying Pidgeon Stakes at Gulfstream Park, trainer Carlo Vaccarezza admitted he was relieved by the solid return of his multiple grade I winner.
Four-time grade I winner Little Mike will return to the scene of his very first stakes victory when he starts in the $75,000 Flying Pidgeon Stakes at Gulfstream Park May 17.
Multiple grade I winner won't run in May 3 Woodford Reserve Turf Classic, it was revealed April 29, due to owner/trainer Carlo Vaccarezza's conflict with the KHRC and Churchill over out-of-competition testing.
The focus has shifted at Keeneland, as it usually does during the second week of April, to the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) and the Kentucky Derby hopefuls who will emerge from that event. read blog
Owner/breeder Carlos Vaccarezza got his first win as a trainer Feb. 9 at Gulfstream Park with first-time starter Little Alexis.
Three-time grade I winner and millionaire Get Stormy was represented by his first foal when a dark bay colt was born Jan. 16.
The good news is, the races have become an important fixture at the end of the racing season, attracting many of the world's best turf runners and spotlighting Hong Kong's ambitious racing program.
Trainer Dale Romans talks about the prospects of Little Mike, who runs in the Hong Kong Cup on December 8. Watch Video
The two American entries drew reasonably well for the Dec. 8 Longines Hong Kong International Races, but not without a little drama for King Kreesa in the Hong Kong Mile (HK-I).
The Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society-Ontario Division has cataloged 97 offerings for its inaugural online winter mixed sale that began Nov. 25 and continues to Dec. 9.

Rally USA Subaru Team ready for SnowDrift Rally
Category: Subaru, Subaru Racing
Tags: Racing
Cherry Hill, N.J., - Defending Rally America National Champion David Higgins will begin his title defense this weekend on the challenging snow and ice covered roads of the Sno*Drift Rally, round one of the 2013 Rally America National Championship.
Higgins will fight for his third-straight Rally America Title in his Vermont SportsCar prepared 2012 Subaru WRX STI rally car with his trusted co-driver Craig Drew at his side. The title fight begins at the legendary Sno*Drift Rally, now in its 47th year, Jan. 25 - 26 in Atlanta and Lewiston, MI. The challenge of racing on the icy Northern Michigan roads that compose the Sno*Drift Rally are compounded by rules which prohibit studded or spiked competition ice tires, meaning traction is fleeting and driving skill and patience truly shine.
Besides sleek updated graphics on Higgins' 2012 Subaru STI much of what earned Higgins the 2012 Rally America Driver's Championship is in place yet again for the Champion. Higgins is also brimming with confidence after an active "off-season" which saw him competing as a guest driver with Subaru Rally Team China at a few rounds of the hotly contested Chinese Rally Championship, where Higgins won two events outright.
"I'm really looking forward to getting the 2013 season started. The Sno*Drift Rally is sort of a funny event because when you are doing it you hate every minute of it because the icy conditions are so tough and you are always only a few inches away from slipping off the road at any moment," explains Higgins. "When it goes well it's a great feeling but it's a tough mental game and you are always fighting yourself from trying to push too hard. A small mistake at Sno*Drift will find you stuck in a snow bank digging with your shovels!"
Added James Han, motorsports marketing manager for Subaru of America, Inc., "Sno*Drift [Rally] is a challenging event as it traditionally features snow and slick ice, conditions unique to the other rounds in the championship. Constantly driving on the knife-edge of traction as quickly as possible can be very demanding on drivers, many who will likely struggle to develop a sense of rhythm from one corner to the next. David's rallying experience prepares him well for such conditions, and the all-wheel drive system in his #75 WRX STI will prove crucial in pulling him and [his co-driver] Craig through the rally stages to the finish."
The 2013 Rally America National Championship will include five of last year's events plus the revival of two extremely popular events: The Ojibwe Forests Rally in Minnesota and the Lake Superior Performance Rally (LSPR) in Michigan's Upper Peninsula – both of which spent the past three seasons as Rally America Central Region Championship events.
The 2013 Rally America National Championship calendar is as follows:
- SnowDrift Rally Atlanta, MI Jan. 25 - 26
- Rally in the 100 Acre Wood Salem, MO Feb. 22 – 23
- Oregon Trail Rally Portland & The Dalles, OR May 3 - 5
- Susquehannock Trail Rally Wellsboro, PA May 31 - June 1
- New England Forest Rally Newry, ME July 26 - 27
- Ojibwe Forests Rally Detroit Lakes, MN Aug. 23 – 24
- Lake Superior Performance Rally Houghton, MI Oct. 18 – 19

On September 3, 2002, an amateur astronomer named Bill Yeung looked into his telescope and discovered a strange object near Earth. Experts were surprised to discover that it was orbiting Earth! The orbit was unstable, which meant this object hadn't been here long. But there was no recently launched spacecraft that matched the orbit of this thing!
It got the name J002E3. It's fun to watch this animated gif and see how J002E3 came in from the Lagrange point L1 between the Earth and Sun, went around the Earth a few times, and then got kicked out.
But what was it?
University of Arizona astronomers found that its electromagnetic spectrum was consistent with white titanium dioxide paint - the same paint used by NASA for the Saturn V rockets. Tracing back its orbit, they found that it had probably been orbiting the Sun for 31 years. The last time it was near Earth was1971.
This seemed to suggest that it was a part of the Apollo 14 mission. But NASA knew the whereabouts of all hardware used for this mission! The third stage of that rocket, for example, was deliberately crashed into the Moon for seismic studies.
So, the most likely explanation seems to be that J002E3 is the third stage of the rocket for Apollo 12. NASA originally planned to shoot this into an orbit around the Sun. But they used more of the propellant than planned, and it seems that venting the rest didn't give this rocket stage enough energy to escape the Earth–Moon system. So, it ended up in a complicated orbit around the Earth after passing by the Moon on November 18, 1969.
It may hit earth someday! It weighs 10 tonnes. But don't worry: a 10-tonne meteor hits the Earth every few years, and most of them don't cause much trouble.
I saw this animated gif without much explanation last night on G+. Who should I thank? The explanation here is adapted from Wikipedia:
and the animated gif was made by Paul Chodas & Ron Baalke of NASA.
As a reminder of the winter that was (in southern Ontario, Canada anyway).

Lebedev-Cox Headlines a Big Card at Crocus City Hall
By Ruslan Chikov
According to the R-Sport media agency, WBA #1 cruiserweight Denis Lebedev (23-1, 17 KOs) defends his World Boxing Association interim title on April 4th at the Crocus City Hall, less than a mile to the west of Moscow in the local suburbs of Myakinino. Lebedev, 32, puts his title at risk against Barbadian heavy-hitter Shawn Cox (16-1, 15 KOs), who is coming off a sensational first-round blowout of the former WBC king Wayne Braithwaite less than a month ago. Cox is 37.
"The agreement has already been signed", confirmed promoter Vladimir Hryunov to R-Sport.
Rumous are circulating that on the same card, former champions will collide with local fighters. Comebacking cruiserweight Grigory Drozd (34-1, 24 KOs) may face former three-time middleweight titleholder William Joppy (40-7-2, 30 KOs) in a ten-rounder, while Sergey Rozhnov (1-0) could face 43-year old Robert Daniels (49-10-1, 41 KOs) in another interesting match-up over six rounds. Both Joppy and Daniels are very much past their prime.
BoxRec also lists WBC #2, IBF #6 and WBA #10 light heavyweight force Ismayl Sillakh (17-0, 14 KOs) as a participant of the show but, as BoxingScene has learned, his fight versus another Russian Denis Grachev (11-0-1, 7 KOs) for the Sillakh's NABF title isn't a finalized deal yet. Alexander Bakhtin (28-0, 11 KOs) may also take his part in the show.
37's pretty young for a Lebedev opponent. Lebedev is an ugly **** who likes to beat up old men in his hometown.Comment by Froch You on 03-07-2012

''Friday the 13th'' is the latest horror franchise to get remade for a new generation.
Unlike ''Texas Chainsaw Massacre'' and ''Halloween,'' which rebooted the series, ''Friday the 13th'' leaves the original alone and essentially wipes out the many sequels that followed.
As ''F-13'' fanatics know, Jason Voorhees wasn't the killer in the first movie. The new version essentially repeats the closing scenes of the first movie, recreating his mother's death and showing Jason rise to avenge her by slaying the hedonistic young folks that keep coming back to Camp Crystal Lake.
This Jason never went to Hell or Manhattan and probably never met Freddy unless there is an Elm Street in this rural backwater town. He's just hunkered down in the old homestead near the camp, and the locals have learned, ''Somebody goes missin' round here, they gone for good.''
So a more accurate title may be ''Friday the 13th: Part II'' or really ''Friday the 13th: Parts II & III,'' because this Jason doesn't lumber - he runs - and he doesn't waste any time racking up a body count.
Before the words ''Friday the 13th'' appear on screen, director Marcus Nispel and screenwriters Damian Shannon and Mark Swift have covered the original and given Jason a group of college-aged kids to slice and dice (they're looking for a field of marijuana near the camp that they can poach).
Fact Box
WHAT: ''Friday the 13th''
STARS: Jared Padalecki, Danielle Panabaker, Aaron Yoo, Amanda Righetti, Travis Van Winkle and Derek Mears.
STORYLINE: Horny young people. Homicidal maniac. Slash, bleed, repeat.
DIRECTOR: Marcus Nispel
RATING: R for strong bloody violence, some graphic sexual content, language and drug material.
Then we get victim batch number two along with Clay Miller (Jared Padalecki), who is on a one-man crusade to find his sister Whitney, who was part of the group that ran into Jason earlier in the film.
The setting is different - these kids are holed up in a luxurious summer house instead of the actual camp - but the plot is the same: they have sex and smoke dope and Jason plucks them off one by one with assorted implements of destruction.
Nispel also directed the ''Texas Chainsaw Massacre'' remake, and he seems to take the same approach here. He's true to the spirit of the original without trying to ape it.
The difference is the original ''Texas Chainsaw Massacre'' is a much better film than the original ''Friday the 13th.''
I'll argue the artistic merits of Tobe Hooper's original ''Massacre'' or the skill John Carpenter demonstrated as a director on ''Halloween'' back in 1978, but the original ''Friday the 13th'' is the slasher movie at its most lunkheaded. The movie is a cattle prod of visceral stimulation - Boobs! Blood! Beheading! - with Tom Savini's special effects the only memorable element.
I watched it again over the weekend, and it hasn't aged well. Thanks to his appearance in the original, giving all his money to Bernie Madoff still is only the second most embarrassing thing Kevin Bacon has done.
Nispel treats the whole thing with a wink and a nudge while delivering a few legitimate scares. He's particularly good at playing with the possibilities vertically. Many of the most frightening moments involve attacks where Jason is above or below the victim.
The link between sex and death that has run through the series is played up to laughable extremes. The characters generally behave like contestants on a VH1 reality series, and the movie doesn't ask much of its photogenic cast except that they look good with their shirts - or their heads - off.
The only characters not driven by their libidos are Clay and Jenna (Danielle Panabaker), so in this world, they are the only ones who appear to have a chance at survival.
Nispel avoids the one tactic that earned the original ''Friday the 13th'' so much grief from social critics. Director Sean Cunningham (credited as a producer on this film) shot most of the attacks from the killer's point of view, essentially putting the audience in the role of the attacker.
Nispel doesn't want to be limited visually by that technique, but he does something that may be even more insidious. Most of the victims are such clueless dolts that they won't engender much sympathy. In a couple cases, viewers will be wishing Jason would hurry up and get rid of this idiot already.
''Friday the 13th'' turns a bloody, bawdy horror movie into a bloodier, bawdier horror movie. It may be as good as it could be without ignoring the source material entirely. Unfortunately, as good as it could be and good aren't the same thing.
Maybe Friday the 13th is considered unlucky because they keep releasing movies like this on that date.

> 9mm ammo
March 21, 2004, 09:42 PM
I was looking at 9mm ammo at ammoman.com. Some of the descriptions have (+9+) on them others have (+9). What does this mean if anything? Thanks Tim

Tim, as I understand it ..... this is differentiating between three power levels.
Standard of course - is standard!
+P is plus P and a slightly higher vel and pressure round .. only for use in guns proven for same.
The +P+ is a notch higher still (could sometimes be ammo for SMG use) .... I think one example might be Hirtenburger 9mm Luger ..... was at one time anyways IIRC .. the Cor-Bon loads may also be categroized thus too. They would only be useable in a gun that was absolutely tops on strength. If used as SD ammo then maybe not something to be shot in huge quantities ... and then in a +P gun probably OK for limited use.
Others may help here but I cannot right now think of a handgun specifically rated for +P+ ....
March 21, 2004, 10:20 PM
I have heard it both ways. Some say that there is not such thing as +P+ as far as the SAAMI is concerned. Some calibers such as .40cal, 357mag, and .44mag don't have such a rating even though some companies advertise such loads.
+P ammo is stouter than standard pressure loads.
+P+ loads are a little stronger than the +P loads.
I have seen some so called +P+ laods that have lower velocities than some +P loads.
I would recommend Cor-Bon loads. All of their loads have high velocities.
March 22, 2004, 06:32 AM
Thanks for the info!
March 22, 2004, 07:23 AM
Others may help here but I cannot right now think of a handgun specifically rated for +P+
+P and +P+ are essentially the same. Firearms that can take 'em are glock's, HK's, sigs, beretta's and just about any modern firearm in good condition.
March 22, 2004, 08:10 AM
No, +P and +P+ are most emphatically NOT the same!
+P is a SAAMI-recognized designation that normally implies that the pressures produced by that round are no more than 10% above the normal pressures specified for it. +P+ means that it's at an even higher pressure, one not regulated by SAAMI, and therefore not rated as "acceptable" by any firearm manufacturer.
What makes it even more difficult is that some manufacturers label their ammo as +P when it's actually operating well into the +P+ spectrum, or don't label it at all as far as pressures go, but instead certify it as safe only in a given gun or range of guns from a manufacturer. For example, Buffalo Bore certify their "Heavy .45 Colt" ammo for use in all Ruger .45's. I e-mailed them and asked about its use in a S&W Mountain Gun. They replied (and I quote verbatim):
In the S&W, you can safely shoot item 3D. It is the only 45 colt loading we make that wont batter your S&W Mt. Gun.
Now, this has to mean that the other three .45 Colt loads they make are WAY above what could be classified as +P. Only the fact that Ruger revolvers are built like tanks allows them to safely fire these things. Yet, there is no +P or +P+ warning on the box - just the injunction that they're safe in all Ruger revolvers. This is scary, as Bubba is sure to think "Well, my Colt, or S&W, or whatever, is just as good as my buddy's Ruger - I'll shoot some of his loads!"
If you're interested in learning more about SAAMI pressure limits, including +P and +P+ loads, see here (http://home.sprynet.com/~frfrog2/miscellk.htm) for a very good overview. Worth reading!
Jim March
March 22, 2004, 04:59 PM
Several points here:
"+P" in the 45LC world is a MASSIVE jump upwards in horsepower compared to "+P" with 38Spl, 9mm, etc.
The reason is, Ruger came out with a series of 45LC guns built on "44Magnum grade" frames AND with the same metalurgy and lockwork as the Magnums. The 45LC dates to 1873 so it runs at VERY low pressure - factory ammo is often down between 12,000 and 15,000psi.
The Rugers can eat 45LC ammo running up between 30,000 and 34,000psi - and do so all day long with no significant stress on the gun (esp. if the loads are hardcast versus jacketed).
So the various makers of thermonuclear 45LC+Ps are VERY cautious, as their stuff could literally grenade even some modern-manufacture 45LC guns (lower-grade Italian SAAs and such) and dear God let's not even talk about antiques.
In 38Spl, +P+ is a code word for "this is for sale to police agencies that don't want to buy 357 ammo because they don't want to have to explain "killer Magnum ammo" on a witness stand, but want 357 horsepower levels."
Thou Hast Been Warnedeth. Stick 38+P+ in your "not +P rated" older gun, it's mebbe grenade time again.
This old "police term" for +P+ would make me leery of running 9mm+P+ in anything but a BEEFY gun. Full-sized Glock, SIG, H&K, maybe. KelTek P11? Not for love or money.
Plain old "+P" USUALLY means "no more than 10% over SAAMI spec", *except* with the 45LC.
March 23, 2004, 11:16 AM
When speaking of 9mm specifically - no other cartridges fall into this category - I'd have no hesitation at using Ranger +P+ ammo in modern Berettas, Glocks, Sigs, Smiths, H&Ks etc... But I personally wouldn't feel confortable about a steady diet of +P+ in poly guns... Keep in mind, I have nothing against polyt guns and I've carried three of them extensively, I'm just saying I wouldn't feel confortable with it, including Glocks and USPs and definately KelTecs.
I think of the +P as safe in pretty much any good name brand (not talking zinc metal based guns) in limited numbers.

1st brand new car I owned
by Pine Cowgirl from Pine, AZ | July 22, 2009
I bought a Tiburon brand new when i was 35 years old. I had never owned a brand new car and I have never regretted my choice. I have now had my tiburon 7 years and it's still running just like the first day i bought it. Only issue I had was clutch when car was 5 1/2 years old but other than that, all you have to do is regularly scheduled maintenance and replace tires when necessary. This car is awesome and a total blast!

Great First Car
by Car Freak from SD | August 24, 2008
This car was my first car. I really like it. Very fun. The performance and handling is great. The one thing that disappointed me was the gas mileage. Driving conservatively I got 27 mpg. I would recommend this car to anybody though. I also love the exterior styling. It's so far ahead of its time. When people ask me how old it is they can't believe it's 10 years old.

The decision came after Cuba said it would donate any profits it received from the tournament to victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The Washington State Cougars held their second scrimmage of the fall last Friday evening, and if last week's practice were any indication of how this scrimmage might go, the offense looked dominating.
Quarterback Connor Halliday threw for 91 yards and three touchdowns while Austin Apodaca threw for 93 yards and one T-D. Star of the day might be Freshman Receiver River Cracraft who came down with six catches for 144 yards and two touchdowns. Halliday hopes for some consistency at the QB position this year.
"Just having one voice that the offense listens to, trusting in your leader," said Halliday. "Last year we were bouncing back and forth and a bunch of different things, and then either me or Jeff wasn't playing well or had one good game. But when the ten guys out there are believing in one person and everybody has trust in that one guy, no matter who it is, they're gonna' play better as a whole."
The Cougs will be having closed practices for the next two weeks until their first game at Auburn on the 31st. And don't forget to watch the WSU football 30-minute special this Friday immediately following the Seahawks and Packers preseason game!

Historical Traveler Reviews Embassy Suites Flagstaff
Great Hotel - 8/11-8/13/04
My husband and I really enjoyed staying at this Embassy Suites. We had a suite on the 3rd floor which was clean and in excellent condition. The hotel staff was very friendly and accomodating. The made to order breakfast and evening reception are a great benefit. The cook and bartender were both extremely friendly and knowledgable of the area. We ate one night at Oregano's which is an Italian restaurant within walking distance. The food was reasonable and very good. The Hotel is also located close to Route 40 which was very convenient. During our visit, we visited Meteor Crater, the Petrified Forest, and Lowell Observatory. They were all facinating and well worth the time. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Great Staff!!
We just spent 5 nights at the this Embassy Suites. The staff here is A+. The bartender at the evening manager's reception was especially friendly as was the cook at the morning breakfast. The location is great for exploring Sedona, Grand Canyon, Painted Desert etc.
I felt this hotel was nice, but I was really disappointed with the noise. One night, there was constant running through the hotel halls. I was on the first floor and could hear all of this. I would fall a sleep only to be woke up by running and it sounded as if the whole floor was coming down. Poor construction? I don't know what the deal was, but I was not happy not being able to enjoy a good nights rest at $159 a night. The other thing that bothered me is I was in a nonsmoking room, however the room smelled like smoke. The hotel was also going through some type of remodling project which left a mess in the parking lot. Flagstaff temps are too cold for a lot of swimming. This hotel offered an outdoor pool, but seemed to forget a heater for it. The better plan would have been to skip the pool and make the hot tub larger. Last but not least, I felt the rooms were a little on the dark side. I would not have been so frustrated with this property if it weren't for the running and noise.
Great Location & Hotel
My husband and I just spent 9 days at the Embassy Suites and have no complaints! The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do and see. It's close to Sedona, the Grand Canyon and other attractions. And it's under 3 hours to Laughlin if you want to do some gambling. But the best is the "made to order" breakfast EVERY morning! We ate like kings every day. The staff was also very helpful with questions that we had. I highly recommend this hotel.
Quiet. Great Breakfast
We stayed here for a week in May 2004. The hotel is located close to Northern AZ University and away from the railroad tracks so we didn't have the train noise that we saw in other hotel reviews. The room sizes were adequate though not spacious but very clean and comfortable, including the sofa bed. All of the staff were both helpful and friendly and the front desk clerk had preprinted directions to just about anywhere you'd want to go. The kitchen manager, Rob, whom I nicknamed the Eggzuberant Omeletteer, makes a great breakfast and he's both friendly and entertaining to watch while he works. If I have the occasion to go back to Flagstaff, I'll try to get a room there first.
Great Breakfast
If you're looking for a spot with a good made to order breakfast, quite, very clean, great location, laundry machines, pool and friendly staff you've found it. We stayed here after a long day at the Grand Canyon I wish we had stayed more than 1 night. Flagstaff looks like fun.
Very good
Nice hotel, especially for Flagstaff, which is not noted as an exotic location.
Good sound insulation; Quiet inside, even though located on heavily traveled Old Route 66 Clean, well kept 2 room suite; Friendly staff; Cooked-to-order breakfast was included, which easily saved us $25-$30/night (Traveling with 2 adults & 2 always hungry kids).
Family of 3 enjoyed their stay !
Simple, clean, & accomodating ! We stayed two nights w/our 4 yr. old son and enjoyed the newly renovated hotel. The only negative thing I can think of was that the coffee both in the room and downstairs was REALLY lowsy ! Complimentary cocktails and breakfast cooked-to-order each day were very convenient. Beautiful Barnes & Noble w/Starbucks (thank goodness !) across the street. Enjoy !
Enjoyed this Embassy Suites Hotel!
Our family of four recently(August 2003) stayed in the Flagstaff Embassy Suites. We loved the location and would definitely stay at the hotel again if we were to visit in the future. The cook-to-order breakfast every morning was terrific and was included in the cost of the room. For a family it was especially economical. The staff was courteous and helpful. The chef at breakfast was especially friendly and accommodating.
No Complaints
Pretty standard Embassy Suites operation in a nice location. Smaller Embassy Suite than most, 3 story. People were very friendly, breakfast was good. Smaller dining area than usual, but smaller crowd. Barnes & Noble across the street, NAU a short walk.

Michael Mina, who operates a four-star restaurant in San Francisco's Westin St. Francis, has just opened a far more casual place in the city's Millennium Tower. Named RH74 after the highway that runs through Burgundy's Cot d'Or, the restaurant resembles a French train station with leather depot benches, subway tile and antique lanterns. Forget the white tablecloths. Here you'll see servers wear jeans and tennis shoes. Mina's chef is a Thomas Keller protégé, Jason Berthold, while the ...

(Opening Statement)- "It was another good day I think. We did a lot of situational football. You saw this was the first time we did short yardage. We did goal-line and of course we ended the day with two minute. I really enjoy practicing two minute, I think it's good for our football team. You saw there we had some winning and losing because there was good competition. The ones came out on offense and our one defense stopped them, but then they came back and the end and then got it down. The objective this time was to kick a field goal. The one-O won once and the one-D won once, and then there was good competition with the twos and threes. Inside of that drill, I think what's good is there's a lot of organization and the mechanics of it are important. There's also a lot of good conditioning in that drill because it can be tiring for those receivers running route after route at the line of scrimmage so we got a lot done there. There are plenty of mistakes in there and things that we need to clean up, and that's why you do this stuff. It was a good practice, very competitive. You always keep your fingers crossed when you're practicing short yardage and goal-line because all the legs are piled up and I think for the most part we were in good shape. Now, we'll move on to the next phase. We'll do a little red zone the next time we practice. We'll just keep going through the situations and building of course on the first and second down."
(On if they are making strides to catch the ball)- "I think they are making strides catching the football. As the head coach, I've talked about how important it is to catch the football. Anyone you talk to will also say that. I think it's very important and I think we are making strides."
(On his expectations for the team with an off day tomorrow)- "It's an off day, but it's not a vacation day. Although, by rules, we can't structure anything other than treatments if they're injured, I would anticipate that they are going to take care of their bodies, and use it in a way where they'll prepare themselves for practice on Wednesday. Typically, you see a lot of guys around the building on off days, like I saw last year. I would anticipate that there will be some guys that come in and watch extra film. There will be guys that try to get off their feet and do the treatment and the things you need to do to your body physically to get ready to practice the next day."
(On if he has any rules about what the players do on their off day)- "They're off. We really went through this process last year with the off day. But it's a little bit uncharted as training camps go prior to last season. I've talked about our guys being very professional and I anticipate that they'll use their time wisely."
(On having afternoon practices after off days this year)- "The reason for that is we will install this evening the information and the plays and the situations that we are going to do Wednesday. What we'll do is, you have the practice in the afternoon so that we can use the morning to review and walk-through before you do it. We'll see how it works, but I think it's a good way to get them back in tune mentally after they've been off a little bit."
(On the structure of afternoon practices)- "Two o'clock practice will feel just like this morning practice felt, it's just flipped. In other words, we'll do the walk-through and meeting in the morning and practice in the afternoon. Just like today, we practiced in the morning and then we meet and walk-through in the afternoon."
(On if practice is different for him with Nolan Cromwell and Brad Childress on staff this year)- "Actually, practice isn't much different. Last year, Mark Whipple gave the quarterbacks the plays, and I stood back and watched. With Brad (Childress) doing it, I've got a lot of years with Brad and I am able because for a lot of reasons - I know the team better, we're more defined on what we're doing offensively - I can sit back and kind of cherry pick a little bit better than I did a year ago."
(On where Nolan Cromwell and Brad Childress come into play)- "I think they are two fine coaches, and I can really focus on other things at different times of the day, including practice, knowing that's going to get done right."
(On how Frostee Rucker will help the team)- "I think Frostee can pass rush, but I also think he's thick enough to play the run. We feel like Frostee and Juqua (Parker) as veteran defensive ends will help man that right end spot. If there are situations where Jabaal (Sheard) needs a blow, of course they can fill in for him as well, not to mention all the other guys."
(On Rucker being a load out there)- "I think he's put on a little bit of weight, based on what I saw in the spring. It's good weight. He's moving around well. We liked him last year when we played against him, and that's why we brought him here. We feel like he can play on all three downs."
(On how did James-Michael Johnson did at practice today)- "He had an interception, a couple actually. He looked good on the goal-line. The linebackers are a crew much like the o-line and d-line, where you might say before you put the pads on that there are all these guys that are kind of bunched up. I think the pads then tend to separate the linebackers and what we think. He's had a couple of good days, he really has."
(On Montario Hardesty and Mohamed Massaquoi being in a similar situations this camp)- "The situation starting with last year when they both came into camp limping and limited and then they had to try to work their way into the lineup starting the preseason hurt. I think we'll all agree that they both came into camp in shape and healthy and they were able to improve their game instead of getting themselves healthy and I think that's important because there is a lot of learning, there's a lot of things going on now that you can't do during the season and you can't do in the preseason because it's a game you play with pads on."
(On his eagerness to see Travis Benjamin's speed out on the field)- "I'm very eager of course. I think he has really established himself. When you look at him you say, 'Well okay, how is he going to be in traffic?" but he's distinguished himself these last couple days catching the ball in traffic. There were a couple of pivots, in routes, where he's working back to the ball where the corner was hanging on his back and he reached out in a physical way and caught the football with his hands. Some things that you need to see so I hope his development continues."
(On the ball finding Josh Gordon and if he is more advanced than anticipated)- "I don't know if it's conscious or subconscious, but when you're a really big guy that can really catch it, things tend to find you. I think he's got a long way to go in terms of learning it and playing receiver at this level. He's made great progress to this point, but he's got a long way to go, but he's eager and he's smart. He's really football smart and I think that shows."
(On what Mitchell Schwartz gains from facing Jabaal Sheard and how has he been so far in camp)- "I think he's very smart, he's very good with his technique and of course the better the player you go against in practice, the quicker you'll develop. Those matchups there were good. A couple of times in there today we had guys wide open and then really Mitchell did a nice job of stopping the pass rush and then Jabaal just reached up and batted the ball. He competes very well and I think he'll benefit from playing against Jabaal for sure."
(On is Schwartz is more ready than Gordon because he played all four years of college and Gordon missed all of last year)- "I don't know. It's hard to say how much further or less he has because we really haven't put him in a game yet. He (Schwartz) came in a guy that fundamentally was pretty right and offensive linemen who know how to use their feet and hands of course can play and perform well. We'll see."
(On the hardest position to transfer from college to the NFL)- "We've talked frequently about positions that are easier or harder to play. I think they're all hard to play personally because there are certain things you have to learn as you go through the process of the preparation. What's hard about being an offensive tackle is who you play against. Typically they're very dynamic pass rusher type guys. I think we all know how important pass protection is."
(On if they would have done the situational drills they did today at the same time last year due to the lockout)- "We tried to do the drills at the same point in camp, but we didn't do them with near the efficiency we did this year. My smile is not obvious, but I felt better about this one then I did last year."
(On if there is a competition at cornerback)- "Sheldon is starting right now, but I really like some of the development that I've seen. I've talked about it. Buster (Skrine) is gritty, gritty guy. Dimitri Patterson challenges, my goodness and you could see those guys playing outside for sure and then Trevin Wade. I think he's got a feel for playing the game at corner. Not to mention, lest I forget, Joe (Haden)."
(On Joe Haden saying he had an amazing season last year except for four plays)- "I think we all need to play better. I think it's safe to assume that what we did as a team last year wasn't good enough so he needs to be super amazing this year (joking)."
(On using Josh Gordon and Mohamed Massaquoi outside and Greg Little in the slot)- "I think that's one way for us to get three of what we consider our better receivers on the field. We do use a lot of three wide receiver sets and today, because we were working two minute, it probably showed up that way quite a bit. Probably more than some other practice, but no, that's a good lineup."
(On what Jordan Cameron has improved on)- "I think just playing the game and I don't want to sounds cliché, but you have to practice it and play it to improve at it. He was guy that didn't play a lot of football in college, but showed us the skill and ability to be a good receiver. Now, when you line up at the end of the line of scrimmage, you have got to get used to controlling your body in blocking situations, you have to learn how to release when somebody's basically tackling you, those types of things. Getting a feel for playing the game and I think once he gets that going I think his development will go like this."
Frostee Rucker
(On not being bitter about leaving Cincinnati and if it will be weird looking across the field at his former teammates)- "I think it will be weird during warm ups, and then right when you get the first play in, it is what it is. Like you said, I'm not bitter at all about not being in Cincinnati. They gave me six blessed years there, and without me being there for six years, I wouldn't be here. I have no ill will to them. I wish them the best of luck except when they play us twice. Other than that, being there, it got me enough time to mature to be able to be here and be able to come in and step in and play the role that I'm getting now."
(On what the team can do to improve the run defense)- "We just really need to concentrate on being fundamentally sound and being gap sound. The coaches are really harping on those things now, and everyone's getting it. Last year, it was unfortunate, when they came together there were no OTAs or minicamps, so they were a little bit behind. With the team defense they had they still finished 10th overall, so that was really special and a big accomplishment. Now, we have time to get the OTAs and minicamp and everyone can get familiar with playing a 4-3 from switching from a 3-4 and all those things. The sky is the limit for this group. Everyone is being accountable and that's the best thing, to be accountable and play gap sound football and we should be alright."
(On having an off day so soon in camp)- "It's going really a well right now. It's running pretty smooth. Our bodies should be relatively fresh, and this off day is going to help us a lot. We're going to bounce back that next day of practice, and we should be pretty explosive and well rested."
(On what it's like to see so much healthy competition on the field)- "It's good. It's definitely going to translate to the season. Seeing so many guys so competitive, so willing to sell out and try to make a play, so hungry. It's going to help us during the season so it's definitely good to see."
Jordan Cameron
(On how training camp is going so far)- "It's going good. They've been giving me some opportunities and I'm trying to take advantage of them. So far, so good."
(On how helpful it is that he is getting extra reps)- "It helps, because the lack of experience that I have in this position. It's good to get out there and get actual reps against the one defense or anyone in particular. It's been good. It's been helpful because I need the reps, that's the best way for me to learn."
(On if he communicates with the other tight ends a lot)- "Ben (Watson), Evan (Moore) all of those guys have been real helpful. They have been doing it a while so they know what they are doing. It's been good to be in the room with them. I want to pattern their habits because they know they know what they are doing."

At last week's BIO International Convention in San Diego, Andrew Hirshfeld, USPTO Deputy Commissioner for Patent Examination Policy, and June Cohan, a Legal Advisor with the USPTO's Office of Patent Legal Administration, took part in a BIO session that provided some of the Office's initial observations regarding written comments submitted to date on the Myriad-Mayo guidance memorandum that was issued on March 4, 2014. Mr. Hirshfeld began the presentation by noting that the Office was eager to receive public feedback on the Guidance, including examples of claims that might be presented in supplemental guidance the Office expected to issue after the July 31 deadline for submitting comments.
Before turning to several additional exemplary claims for which the Office was seeking public input, Mr. Hirshfeld addressed several issues involving the Guidance that had been raised in comments already received by the Office. First, in response to comments that suggested the Guidance be limited to Myriad, he noted that while the Office had considered limiting the Guidance to Myriad, it instead responded to requests from examiners for more comprehensive guidance. Despite the negative response to the Guidance from the patent community, Mr. Hirshfeld still felt that the Office's approach was the right one. He also explained that the Office's intent in the Guidance was to inform examiners that terms such as "isolated" did not have a per se meaning. In other words, the recitation of, for example, an "isolated nucleic acid molecule" conveyed neither per se patent eligibility nor per se patent ineligibility on the "nucleic acid molecule."
In response to comments suggesting that the Office had created a new legal standard with its use of a "significantly different" requirement in the Guidance, Mr. Hirshfeld noted that this was not the Office's intent. Instead, he explained that the "significantly different" standard in the Guidance was only a teaching tool for examiners.
Finally, with respect to comments that were critical of the Guidance for overlooking the importance of functional differences in establishing patent eligibility, Mr. Hirshfeld pointed out that this was an area where there was a lot of common ground between the Office and critics of the Guidance. He noted that the Office had received significant feedback on this issue and that the Office agreed that functional differences need to be taken into account when assessing patent eligibility, stating that "there is room between Funk Brothers and Chakrabarty." However, Mr. Hirshfeld admitted that the Office has been struggling with claims reciting a single product (as opposed to combinations) in which the product differs functionally, but not structurally, from a naturally occurring product. As for combination claims, Mr. Hirshfeld noted that significant public feedback had been received and that much of it disagreed with the Office's handling of such claims. He acknowledged that the Office "could be doing more on our end." Finally, with respect to derivatives of natural products, Mr. Hirshfeld indicated that it was not the Office's intent to render all derivatives patent ineligible, and he suggested that "a lot of clarity was needed on this."
Mr. Hirshfeld closed his portion of the presentation by pointing out that the Office had received a lot of feedback criticizing Funk Brothers and Mayo as not being good law, and asking the Office to not apply these cases. In response, he noted that Office did not intend to ignore any cases, and suggested that "we need to draw the right lines" instead.
Ms. Cohan followed Mr. Hirshfeld's presentation by providing seven exemplary claims "for discussion purposes." The exemplary claims that were presented are as follows:
1. Isolated nucleic acid comprising a sequence that has at least 90% identify to SEQ ID NO: 1 and contains at least one sequence modification relative to SEQ ID NO: 1.
2. Polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that has at least 90% identity to SEQ ID NO: 2 and contains at least one sequence modification relative to SEQ ID NO: 2.
3. A nucleic acid comprising SEQ ID NO: 1 and a fluorescent label attached to the nucleic acid.
4. A chimeric or humanized antibody to Antibiotic L.
5. Purified Antibiotic L.
6. Antibiotic L, which is expressed by recombinant yeast.
7. A human or fully human antibody to Antibiotic L.
During her presentation, Ms. Cohan noted that the Office was trying to resolve how applicants could establish patent eligibility by showing differences in function or use (as opposed to the Guidance's focus on structural differences). In particular, she posed the question of whether a difference in function or use would by itself constitute a marked difference, and invited public comment on the issue.
Following Ms. Cohan's presentation, Mr. Hirshfeld opened the floor for questions. In response to a question about whether a course correction was needed, Mr. Hirshfeld noted that the Office would be issuing iterations to the guidance, and whether such iterations could be considered a course correction would be in the eye of the beholder. He reiterated, however, that clarity was needed with respect to derivatives of natural products, functional language, and combination claims. Mr. Hirshfeld also stated that "no one should leave here today thinking we are not making changes," declaring that "we will be making changes."
Another attendee asked the Office to consider taking a different approach with the Guidance. Noting that the patent community is dealing with a negative Supreme Court, she suggested that the Office "push back wherever you can," adding that if the Office "buy[s] into what the Supreme Court says, then you're going to damage the biotech industry." Those in attendance responded with a round of applause.
In a post-Convention discussion with Mr. Hirshfeld and Ms. Cohan, Patent Docs was informed that the claims presented at the BIO Convention have now been posted on the Guidance webpage as part of seven-slide PowerPoint presentation. Mr. Hirshfeld explained that the Office posted the claims on the Guidance webpage in order to obtain feedback from the public. Slide 3 of the presentation provides the following factual assumptions for the seven claims that were presented at BIO:
• Antibiotic L is a naturally occurring protein produced by a particular bacterial species. It exhibits antibiotic activity in nature (e.g., it kills other bacterial species in its natural environment).
• SEQ ID NO: 1 is the naturally occurring DNA sequence that encodes Antibiotic L.
• SEQ ID NO: 2 is the naturally occurring amino acid sequence of Antibiotic L.
• Some "fluorescent labels" are naturally occurring.
• Antibodies to Antibiotic L are naturally occurring in wild coyotes, but not in humans or mice.
Mr. Hirshfeld noted that the Office's inclination was that the seven claims presented at the BIO Convention were examples of things that, in the right context, would be patent eligible. He indicated that the Office was now tasked with formulating supplemental guidance that provided the right context for these claims (provided that these claims make it into the supplemental guidance) as well as any other claims that might make it into the supplemental guidance.
