White Clay Creek Set to Open
White Clay Creek Country Club at Delaware Park, the latest in a string of Mid-Atlantic pearls designed by Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest & Associates, will open for public play Tuesday, June 28.
The two dominant features on this upscale daily-fee layout are both accounted for in its name. White Clay Creek and its tributaries meander throughout the 230-acre site; 16 of the 18 holes are bounded or crossed by river, stream, wetland or pond. The back nine stretch of Nos. 11-16 is particularly dramatic and testing, as golfers play from elevated river-bank tees back and forth across rushing waters.
Developed by the owners of Delaware Park a thoroughbred race track that also offers a slots casino the 7,007-yard White Clay Creek layout plays inventively around the facility itself, in full view of ponies, paddocks and practice rings.
"A round at White Clay Creek is certainly a dramatic, eclectic journey past racetracks, railroads, tunnels, a water tower, a casino, and some of the most scenic, tree-lined river settings anywhere," says Steve Forrest, the Hills/Forrest partner who directed the project. "I can't imagine there's another facility quite like it. The walk from the second green to the third tee goes right by the practice ring, and I guess it goes without saying the aprés-golf options at White Clay are remarkably extensive."
Toledo, Ohio-based Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest & Associates has designed more than 180 golf course projects worldwide, including several of the Mid-Atlantic region's top public/resort tracks: The Links at Lighthouse Sound in Ocean City, Md., Maryland National in Frederick, and Blue Mash in Olney, Md., to name but a few.
Because of the property's unique physical attributes, and the design strategies for which Hills/Forrest is renowned, White Clay Creek located minutes south of Wilmington just off Interstate 95 (Exit 4B) is poised to set an even higher standard for public golf in the region.
"Most courses are lucky to feature a single river crossing, maybe two," Forrest says. "We were fortunate at White Clay Creek to incorporate four on the back nine alone! The 11th is a 444-yard par-4 where players must challenge a bend in the river; the 314-yard 12th plays across the opposite elbow it's a driveable par-4 for the bold; 13 is a gorgeous par-3 across water; and 14 is another par-4 where the river tempts players to bite off as much of the river bank as they dare.
Where the creek and its tributaries didn't allow for risk-reward strategies, Hills/Forrest created them. The ninth at White Clay Creek is a good example: "It's a drivable par-4 built entirely in the flood plain," Forrest explains. "The green complex is essentially a volcano that will kick approaches away, from the fairway or the tee, if they're not accurate. It's a wonderful temptation hole that begs the player to hit driver."
Designing a golf course in such close proximity to so much water presented Hills/Forrest and White Clay Creek's developers Parkside III, LLC, with several environmental challenges. Indeed, heavy rains caused a series of flood episodes in 2004 delaying completion of the project. However, they also provided Hills/Forrest and White Clay superintendent Scott Boyd the opportunity to address worst-case drainage scenarios in advance of opening. Hills/Forrest also went to extraordinary lengths to preserve the purity and safe passage of the waterways that figure so prominently in the course design.
"No firm working in course architecture is better equipped to ensure environmental sensitivity than Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest & Associates," said Bill Fasy, chief operating officer of Delaware Park. "That is one of the reasons we selected them, and they did a fantastic job incorporating the course into the existing terrain and not disturbing the natural habitat."
In 1995, the Hills/Forrest design at Collier's Reserve GC in Naples, Fla., became the first course in the world to earn Audubon International's Cooperative Gold Signature Sanctuary status, golf's highest environmental honor. Oitavos Golfe Quinta da Marinha in Cascais, Portugal host of the European PGA Tour's Open of Portugal became Audubon's first International Gold Signature Sanctuary when it opened in 2001.
White Clay Creek was designed and built with the same attention to environmental detail, which Hills/Forrest then used to the greatest architectural advantage. "Because almost all of the golf course was built in the flood plain, to get the permits we had to design all the tee and green sites seven feet above the creek banks," Forrest explains. "That meant that all the green features are at least five feet above the flood level, above the creek banks. It was a fixed design consideration for us, but one of which we took good advantage. Any time you can create an elevated tee situation, like we did throughout the White Clay Creek project, it gives you a better, more compelling view of the target area and the overall golf hole itself.
"Building up green sites is another design benefit, even if it's mandated by flood plain conditions, because any time you have a slope into which to build a bunker, it makes for a more dramatic and attractive bunker."
Flanking a diverse set of bentgrass putting surfaces and accenting undulating, riverside fairways, White Clay's 48 bunkers are some of the Mid-Atlantic region's most dramatic course features.
Off the course, White Clay Creek boasts a nice complement of amenities, including a golf academy for players of all abilities; an extensive multi-disciplinary practice facility; and an exquisite new clubhouse with restaurant, bar, banquet rooms, extensive locker amenities (including a fitness center), deluxe pro shop, and indoor teaching facility. With the casino and race track right next door, White Clay Creek is far more than a golf club.
Membership in White Clay Creek is free but requires registration as a member of the Delaware Park Player Rewards Club. Greens fees are $110 and include a cart, range balls and full use of the locker facilities including fitness center and sauna. For additional information or a tee time, call 302/994-2521, or visit www.whiteclaycreekcc.com.

I drive a Subaru Forester 2001. I just made an oil change and converted from synthetic oil back to conventional since I don't feel seeing any benefits from synthetic oil. A couple weeks after that, CEL comes on and the code read as P0420 related to catalytic converter. I'm wondering whether it could be related to the oil change swinging between synthetic and conventional oil? Or it could just be just coincidence......
I'd say coincidence. Um....did you do any other service at the time?
Clear the code, if it comes back immediately and the car runs poorly, it could mean the front O2 sensor is bad or the catalytic converter is bad. If you can clear it and it comes back in a few hours or days - and that cycle can be repeated. Most likely the front O2 sensor is 'lazy'. A good mechanic can scope the output from the sensor and determine its condition. DIYers usually just swap it out hoping that fixes the 0420 code. It often does.
Yep. Had the same on 2002 Forester, changing front oxygen sensor removed the CEL and periodic hesitation.
Thanks a lot for sharing! How much it took you for replacing the front O2 sensor?

Vague memories: $73 OEM sensor + $25 for 15 minutes of actual work charged. That's at an independent mechanics. Dealer would have charged a whole one hour of labour. To be honest, once I saw what was changed and where, I could have ordered part online for about 30% less after shipping and change it myself. Seems really trivial even for a hardware-challenged guy like me.
Go have a look at the Catalytic converter. It may have a hole in it. LIke mine.
You live in the snow belt?
Oil change may just be a red herring.
p0420 is a frequent visitor for me. BP gas seems to make it happy and stay away for longer, crazy as it sounds. We'll see as we move into winter gas.

I live in North Cal. Oil change sounds like a red herring that I agree. Another coincidence is that I had to jump the battery after I forgot to turn off a ceiling light and didn't drive it for a week. I have only driven this Forester infrequently in last few months, about once a week. It still gives me trouble :( I have changed a knock sensor three years ago. Really start to doubt Subaru's quality, at least for 2001 model...
In all fairness, it's 8+ years old (I don't recall you mentioning the mileage) and infrequent driving is considered 'extreme service'. Many cars would give you some trouble in similar situation.
If you can, have Autozone clear the codes, drive it, and see how quickly any codes return. Give it a few drive cycles.

Will Regulators Ever Learn? Bans on Short Selling Don't Work
Short-sellers are among the least popular people or institutions in finance. They are variously depicted as vultures, or worse: not only driving down prices of individual stocks, but also worsening financial panics when they arise.
So it is not a surprise that CEOs of companies subject to short-selling are typically the first to cry out for securities regulators to ban or limit short-selling when their stock prices are falling. In the U.S. and elsewhere, regulators – in their eagerness to appear that they are "doing something" – are often eager to comply.
More In Think Tank

- Iran's 'Resistance Economy' -- and Stalled Reform Efforts
- GOP Reaction to Shootings Protests Hinders Efforts to Win Minority Votes
- Why Donald Trump Is Winning Iowa
- Will Monday's Trump-Clinton Presidential Debate Echo These Debate Encounters?
But do the bans actually work? One study of such regulatory interventions during the 2008 financial crisis by securities regulators from around the world by economists Alessandro Beber and Marco Pagano published last year in the prestigious Journal of Finance, but just summarized for a popular audience by the new "jagazine", FAMe confirms what many financial economists have been saying for years: The bans have no statistically significant effect on stock prices, and may even have worsened the declines. Also, predictably, by removing some traders from the market, the bans reduce liquidity and slow price discovery.
Maybe next time financial regulators will learn from history and not repeat it.

Reflecting The Career Of Tony Gwynn
A look at what Tony Gwynn meant to baseball & his family
Just a day after Father's Day, Mr. Padre (Spanish for father) & Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, passed away this morning at age 54 after battling salivary gland cancer.
The former San Diego Padre was never the home run king nor was he consistently leading the league in RBI's, but what he did do to help his team win was hit the ball & get on base.
Looking back at a successful career, Gwynn played 20 seasons in the Major Leagues (1982-2001), with a .338 lifetime batting average, became a member of the 3,000 hit club, was an eight-time batting champion & won two pennants while playing in San Diego all 20 seasons.
Gwynn collected 200+ hits five times, was elected to 15 All-Star Games, never had less than 400 at-bats from 1984-1999 & hit over .300 from 1983-2001.
But it is not just his numbers that made him such a likeable player, but his personality as well. Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly recognizes the greatness that Gwynn provided to both baseball & the entire city of San Diego:
"He was one of those rare players, like Banks, Ripken and Musial, whose talent, longevity and personality allowed him to become synonymous with his ball club. He is so identifiable with San Diego?s major league baseball team that they call him Mr. Padre. It says it right on the statue outside the stadium," Salisbury said.
In addition, Gwynn was always clean, he never tried to find a way to cheat in order to improve his performance and you never heard about him getting into fights with other players.
Now on this Monday after Father's Day, his son Tony Gwynn Jr. who plays for the Philadelphia Phillies will never forget who his father was to him: "My best friend & just a good dude. Imagine what it?s like for a son who?s been with him his whole life and known that same guy off and on the field,? Tony Jr. said. ?It?s heartbreaking.?
A great ball player, religious man and loving father has been taken from the world and is in a better place. Mr. Padre will long live in San Diego baseball.

Foodies flinging forks at Razz's Restaurant in Scottsdale might not strike most artists as a muse-moment. But it's gold for Cave Creek painter Elaine Grant Coffee, whose contemporary genre portraits are inspired by such unstaged public interactions. Her slice-of-life scenes can happen almost anywhere, from a bench at the Arizona Biltmore to a cowboy bar in Bisbee.
"Polo Match" showcases people at WestWorld of Scottsdale, and "High Stakes at the Flea Market" takes place at a park in Paris. The aforementioned scene at Razz's inspired "The Chef Recommends." Coffee discovered her Rockwellian approach to art while wandering through New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. "Instead of looking at the art, I found myself looking at the people and how they communicated with the paintings and each other, and that was the beginning," Coffee says.
Her oil paintings have an appealing imperfection about them. They are not purposefully and perfectly posed portraits. "The paintings capture a narrative of a moment in time," she says.
Coffee, 72, was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and started painting as a young girl alongside her artist mother. She attended The School of Visual Arts in New York and took medical illustration classes at Hunter College. All combined to help her create accurate anatomies of the people she portrays.
Check out Coffee's paintings now through March 23 at the Celebration of Fine Art on the southwest corner of Hayden Road and the Loop 101 in Scottsdale, or at elainecoffee.com.

- American Dreams
- John Tucker Must Die
- Hairspray (2007 musical)
- Prom Night (2008)
- Pitch Perfect
- Guiding Light
- Kingdom Hearts II
- Whisper of the Heart

- Casting Gag: So, she danced in The '60s?
- Stylistic Suck: Her deliberately unbearable singing in 'Christmas Caroling w/ Brittany Snow'. As evidenced by Pitch Perfect and her one song in Hairspray she is actually a pretty good singer.
- The '60s: Has twice starred in a movie/TV show set in the 1960s (American Dreams and Hairspray).
- Type Casting: She's best known for playing a sweet Naïve Everygirl. Yep, her lesser-known roles... from both before and after both Hairspray and Pitch Perfect are mostly (and, I mean, she's in a lot of) horror films. A lot.

Endless presents Cadenza Residency with Reboot photo gallery
Guido Tamayo
$25.00Early bird
$30.002nd release
$35.00Final release
Reboot [Extended Set]
Gino Santos
New York City's Endless returns to Cielo for another night filled with monstrous grooves and a pure party vibe. Following the unfortunate cancellation of the initial Cadenza residency launch due to Hurricane Sandy, Endless is excited to host one of Luciano's very talented mercenaries, Reboot.
On a day that many believe to be the end of the world, there is no better way to go out than being serenaded by one of Ibiza's most beloved DJ/producers. Renowned for his ability to infuse rare vocals with eclectic bass filled melodies, all while maintaining that tropical feel, Reboot promises nothing less than a night to remember.
Marking his first return to NYC since his masterfully crafted set at this year's installment of Electric Zoo, the Cadenza captain will most certainly do even more damage during his extended set. Providing the warm up set will be NYC local and Endless favorite Gino Santos.
With this event being one of the most highly anticipated in recent months, it is safe to think that most of NYC's club faithful will be dancing the night away on Little West 12th come December 21st.
Follow Twitter.com/Endless_Event or Facebook.com/EndlessPresents for up-to-date information to be announced!

Funding Suspended
Funding for this project was suspended by Kickstarter on February 7, 2013.
A small portable 3in1 Cable that goes where you go: Charges your phone or mobile device, Transfers data & USB storage drive/card reader
Funding for this project was suspended by Kickstarter on February 7, 2013.
I know I've been in situations before where I've used these lines before, probably more than a few times.
Not having a phone charger when and where you need it.
Having to carry around multiple wires and thumb drives.
One universal product that works across multiple brands of devices.
Carrying multiple products and devices with you.
Wonder Wires are cables for phones that are a compact multi-functional product, that is compatible with phones that have a micro USB ( also known as 5 pin) connectors. This includes Android, Blackberry, and Window phones (HTC, LG, Nokia, Samsung, Huawei, Google phones, t-mobile phones, at&t phones, Motarola, Nexus, etc) even some smaller tablets, cameras and other devices like Bluetooth headsets.
First, they can be used for charging. You can plug them into your usb port on a computer or tablet, a usb wall connector, usb car connector, etc. With it's flexible cable it can be used almost anywhere.
Second, its a transfer wire. You can transmit pictures, data and documents from your phone to your computer and visa versa.
Third, it is a micro SD card reader. You can pull an micro SD card out of your camera, GOPRO or Contour video camera, phone, mp3 player, other device, etc and read it on Wonder Wires.
Fourth, If you keep a micro SD card in the Wonder Wire you can use it as a USB thumb / storage drive.
So, it is a an all in one device that is small and easy to carry around.
I like products that fill a need and offer simple solutions. Wonder Wires is the same idea, a product that is simple, it fills a need and is useful. The idea came to me because I like things that are clean and simple. I don't usually go for overdone. I like old cars and the BMW Isetta fits that mold. Not a lot of bells and whistles just one door in the front, simple engine not very luxurious inside, but it gets the job done. I also was inspired to start WONDER WIRES because I travel a lot for work and I hated not having the right cords or tools to do my job when traveling to different trade shows and to meetings. I also liked simplicity and don't like to carry more than I need. Wonder Wires seemed like a great solution, a multi functional tool in a small product. Also, when you travel overseas foreign outlets vary and I didn't like to carry multiple plugs or adapters. The USB slot is universal so even if I didn't have my laptop with me someone else did.
I also saw a huge need and wanted to fill it. I've used apple products and android products over the last couple years and really like both. I did think it was strange that there were so many products for the apple iphone, and I wondered why there weren't more clever Android, Blackberry and Window phone products available. One of the reasons for the lack of Android and Windows products is the fact that there are so many different models across the different manufacturers. The Iphone is universal making it easier and more cost effective to design products for it.
I then started to look at the number of Android and Windows phones and was surprised to find that 75% of smartphone shipments last year were Android devices in the US and even more worldwide and that's up from 58% last year. The Samsung Galaxy s III outsold the Iphone last year too. HUH? It seemed to me like everyone has an iPhone and android phones make up a smaller segment of the market. Which isn't actually the case (I think I just hang out with too many iphone carrying hipsters). In reality the Apple Iphone made up only 15% of shipments during the same period. So why all the great accessories for the Iphone?
I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but it seemed pretty obvious that there are a lot more Android and non iphone devices being sold today than Iphones. The Iphone market seems to have no lack of products and accessories, but the Android and Windows devices are grossly undeserved. There aren't many things that are alike among the non Iphone phones, which made the task of a universal product difficult. The devices are all different shapes and sizes so creating a case or mount didn't make sense to me as it would be limited to one model. The one thing that is universal across almost all the phones is the charging connector, a micro USB / 5 pin connector is present on almost to all of them. It is the universal piece that all the phones had. So that's when WONDER WIRES came along.
I wanted a product for the rest of us that don't have an Iphone (It isn't to say we won't develop an Iphone product down the line we just might, but this is our entry into the field). Its a product that is small and practical so you'd always have it with you. Today our phones are like Swiss army knives. We never leave home without them, because they are so integral into our daily lives. We use them to stay connected, Get things done, find where we are going, shop, look for deals, find food or just unwind with a game or video. When they are dead because we forgot a charger it can throw off your day. And that is why I created WONDER WIRES.
So how do we make this a reality,? This is where you come in. We need you to support Wonder Wires by selecting some rewards and spreading the word. We are offering some early bird rewards with the hopes that you'll tweet, blog, Contact your favorite websites and tell them about us, and spread the word. With your support we can get the funds we need to produce our initial round of WONDER WIRES. Our manufacturer is ready to go, they have produced our first samples and they are just waiting for the funds to start full scale production.
See the rewards to your right. Of course you can get yourself some Wonder Wires, but we also offer some of our best selling products from Proof. (www.iwantproof.com)
Wonder Wires is a patented product.
I have spent many years manufacturing and sourcing product all over the world. I'm confident we have good partners and always look for the best, even if it means it takes longer or costs more. It always saves time and headaches on the back end. That being said there are occasions when even the best partners stumble or don't come through on time. I'm confident the suppliers I have selected will come through in the time I have suggested, but this is a risk and worth mentioning. They have produced my prototypes and am confident in their abilities to manufacture on a larger scale.
I like to do a lot of upfront work before getting too far into a project, so I know what I'm up against. Of the many projects I've done over my career and here on Kickstarter I feel the most prepared on the WONDER WIRES project and don't see any major risks or challenges that can't be overcome pretty easily. The ground work and agreements have been established. We just need the capital to make it happen.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
Kickstarter no longer allows you to offer multiple products as a reward. But, we appreciate the support and have been using Wonder Wires for multiple devices currently and see a real need. So if you'd like a 2nd or 3rd Wonder Wire add $15 p/ each additional wonder wire to your reward and we'll ship it out with your reward.
We wanted Wonder Wires to be affordable and an everyday tool. Pricing is based on the manufacturing costs, development, and also the fact that to buy all these different accessories to do everything 1 little Wonder Wires does would cost a lot more.
Yes, we believe in guerrilla marketing and the power of personalized promotion. So if you back us at the early stages (or if you are so inclined at the later stages) we'd really appreciate you spreading the word. Telling a friend, tweeting the kickstarter out, posting it on Facebook, sending it to a favorite tech blog, etc. We believe that our backers/customers are the best marketing around. So even though we may lose some money with the low priced early rewards we think if you will spread the word it'll work out for us in the end.
Right now we only offer 3. We may add more if we hit some of our goals early. You can also back the pick the next color reward. Not only will you get the next color but we'll hook you up with a whole lot of Wonder Wires in your color of choice.
Sure, send us a message and we can look at developing a reward just for you.

Is a 6.8 SPC upper receiver compatible with a 5.56 lower receiver as long as I use a 6.8 magazine or will I need to buy a complete 6.8 rifle?

The only parts specific to 6.8 SPC are the bolt, barrel, and magazine.
April 2, 2008, 02:32 PM
Thanks, Zak. Looks like I'm getting a 6.8 upper! MWWAAAHAHAHAHA!
April 2, 2008, 02:43 PM
Another question:
Would a regular AR 15 bayonet fit a 6.8 upper with a mid length gas system or is the barrel profile too thick?
April 2, 2008, 07:15 PM
should fit...
April 2, 2008, 07:21 PM
I wanted one but the price of 6.8 is just to much. If its for just target shooting and not for shooting people then its not worth it. Get a 9mm AR. Cheaper than all hell to shoot.
April 2, 2008, 08:51 PM
Darthbauer, I was just about to leap to the 6.8mm SPC's defense and say that it's considered a Major caliber by IPSC ... but it's not. (The 6.8mm loads I saw had power factors between 299 and 322; you need 340 to make Major.) The same goes for 300 Fireball and every other AR-15 caliber I've seen except 458 SOCOM (but I don't have data for 6.5mm Grendel or that new .50-caliber thingamajig).
Sounds like you're right ... until prices come down 6.8mm sounds like an expensive lark. Kind of makes me wish there was a nice medium category for IPSC rifles, but I'm kind of nitpicker! (I suppose 6.8 has hunting potential, but I don't know anything about hunting.)
April 2, 2008, 09:04 PM
even the new bushmaster .450 upper and barrel will fit on any mil-spec lower.
yes, a 250 grain ballistic tip zipping along at better than 2100 fps.....
from any mil-spec lower.
April 2, 2008, 09:15 PM
I know a guy who has a Mini14 in 6.8. He has no complaints about it as a hunting/varmint rifle. He says it is very accurate for him. He is not really a target shooter though.
April 2, 2008, 09:37 PM
What about a .50 Beowulf upper? Would that fit a standard lower?
April 2, 2008, 10:04 PM
What about a .50 Beowulf upper? Would that fit a standard lower?
i think it can, but some minor mods will need to be made.
that new bushmaster cartridge has better ballistic qualities in my opinion.
the bushmaster .450 fires a 250 gr projectile at better than 2200 fps.
this is about 300 fps faster than any load ive seen safely fired with the beowolf.
and it is a direct drop on upper for any mil spec lower.
you have to stop and think about 250 gr at 2200-2300 fps, and it can go boom boom boom boom boom.
thats a lot of wieght, flat out screaming.
i want one so bad it is going to be painful till i get it.
by the way, im a guitarist too >:-)
Click Click Boom
April 2, 2008, 10:23 PM
The .50 is 50-100 grains heavyer. I like the 458 SOCOM.
April 2, 2008, 10:49 PM
my 458 was a cannon for sure, but i had probs just getting the rifle to run well. it was plagued by extraction probs, and i had probs with anything but once fired brass.
it seems to be pushing the envelope of the ar-style extraction systems. its a lot of brass to be dragging out of there.
could have been an isolated incedent, but i didnt keep it long enough to really find out.
for all i know, the 450 bushy is no better, but im dying to find out! lol

FORSYTH COUNTY, N.C. — The Winston-Salem Journal reports that new evidence about a bus driver's record and her supervisor's actions, which forced an earlier mistrial in a case about a driver of a car allegedly passing a stopped school bus and striking and killing Hasani Wesley, 11, led to a prosecution plea deal.
On Monday, Billy Roger Bailey pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of misdemeanor death by motor vehicle in the incident, which occurred on Dec. 19, 2012. Forsyth Superior Court Judge William Z. Wood imposed a total jail sentence of 60 days. Bailey received a 30-day active jail sentence; Wood suspended the rest and placed him on supervised probation for 30 months, according to the newspaper.
At issue during the trial was whether the bus was stopped, with red lights flashing and stop arm out, when Wesley was hit. Stephanie Fulton, the bus driver, testified that the bus was stopped — with the red lights flashing and the stop arm out — when Wesley crossed the road, the Winston-Salem Journal reports.
However, new evidence regarding the bus driver's record and her supervisor conducting an improper investigation came to light and significantly crippled Forsyth County's case against Bailey, according to the newspaper. Also, a North Carolina Highway Patrol accident reconstruction expert told prosecutors that he agreed with the defense's expert that the bus was stopped 20 seconds before the red lights and stop arm were activated.

SINCE THE major data breach at Target, many readers have asked how to best protect their credit.
"My wife and I are vigilant and we replaced our debit cards because of Target," one reader wrote. "Our credit has been 'frozen' at the three credit agencies for years and we view the reports annually. Do you consider 'frozen' at the agencies as ample protection?"
It's likely you've heard that if you're a victim of identity theft or you want to protect your files from fraud because you suspect you are vulnerable, you should put a fraud alert on your credit files at the major credit-reporting agencies - TransUnion, Experian and Equifax. But you may not be familiar with a security freeze, a much stronger option to help protect yourself and prevent identity theft.

ESPN has become a pop culture phenomenon for more than just it's non-stop sports coverage. It has infected the mainstream with it's campy, yet funny, commercials as well.
Over the years there have been a slew of those "This Is SportsCenter" themed ads, and I have no doubt forgotten many of them within this list, but the ones I have included have always been funny to me.
I hope you find a chuckle here and there. It was certainly fun bringing back some of the oldies but goodies.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Spring Creek Horse Rescue, Durango, CO, USA
Spring Creek Horse Rescue is an amazing place. I have volunteered now for six years, and I have seen ill, injured, old, young, abused and neglected horses enter Spring Creek Horse Rescue, wondering the fate of these soulful creatures. Through the patient, knowledgeable care of Diane, the director, I have seen these sorrowful horses regain their will to live, their unbelievable ability to forgive and trust humans again. In six years, I have seen at least 40 horses adopted to people who love them; a family who adores cute Moxey, a middle age woman who loves her beautiful Vegas, who had serious injuries; a veteran with PTS who adopted T-Rex, big and black, now companions on the trail and in the barn. There are many happy ending stories like this, all because Spring Creek Horse Rescue is there for horses and people.
Review for Spring Creek Horse Rescue, Durango, CO, USA
I am a 4th year volunteer at Spring Creek Horse Rescue. A motto that describes the Rescue is "Horses First". I have seen horses come to the Rescue skin and bones, with injuries, with shyness from mistreatment, and I have seen Diane work miracles with them to see well-fed, injury free and trusting of humans. I love working at the Rescue to see and touch these beautiful, soulful animals and it is always an exciting day when one is adopted into a new, caring home. Becca

Review for Spring Creek Horse Rescue, Durango, CO, USA
I am on year 3 as a volunteer for Spring Creek Horse Rescue in Colorado.
The horses here receive the care needed to rehabilate, whether it is an underweight problem from neglect, or trust issues from improper handling, or injuries. I have seen over 40 horses adopted since volunteering and how rewarding it is to see a beautiful and spiritual horse go to a caring home. The Rescue also works with the community by providing instruction on care and also as a place for people with community service hours to work and learn. The director, Diane, I am in awe of; she loves these unfortunate animals and cares from them until trust is again established. Especially kudos to her. The Rescue is always in need of donations for feed and medicine for our charges.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Many, many horses have been adopted out to new caring homes and this is so, so rewarding for the rescue.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
My wish for Spring Creek Rescue is to have a place of its own to call home. It is now on a rental location and the future is uncertain. That is one big wish, so my lessor wish is to have funding for the care of the horses.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.

Video transcript provided by Newsy.com
Loneliness takes a severe toll on the elderly, according to a new study that shows it's linked to a 14 percent higher risk of premature death.
"A psychology professor at the University of Chicago found the impact of loneliness is nearly as strong as the impact of poverty, which increases the chances of dying by 19 percent." (Via WSEE)
More popular and trending stories
Researchers at the university studied more than 2,000 people aged 50 years or older. They found "the loneliest were twice more likely to die than the least lonely during the six year study." (Via Tech Times)
The study also showed loneliness is associated with higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which increases the risk of strokes, heart attacks and more.
"Health issues linked to severe loneliness include lack of sleep, high blood pressure and depression." (Via KCTV)
One writer for The Guardian says the study's findings mean loneliness can be harmful for people at any age. He poses the question, "What can we do about it?" writing, "If our attitude to the elderly doesn't change, loneliness will soon be four times more deadly than obesity."
One of the researchers, psychologist John Cacioppo, elaborates on how to help fight loneliness.
"What's really important is companionship and mutual assistance and protection. Having high-quality relationships with a few people is one of the keys to happiness and longevity. The stresses and challenges of life are more easily endured if we can share them with someone in whom we can confide and trust." (Via USA Today)

Reading the John Updike stories: 'The Astronomer'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
Like his story "Pigeon Feathers," Updike's "The Astronomer," published in 1961, deals with a crisis of faith. "Pigeon Feathers," written earlier but published a few months later than "The Astronomer," depicts a boy's loss of innocence about mortality and heaven. In "The Astronomer," 24-year-old Walter fears what effect an evening talking with an older, smarter friend will have on the shaky Rube Goldberg contraption of his belief construct. »Read Full Blog Post

every time I reboot the laptop I get an error message..
Something loading automatically makes that. To nail down the source, use clean-boot troubleshooting.
Run the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe) and start by unchecking all the items on its Startup tab. Then reboot and see if the error message exists. If not, recheck half the items and reboot. Do that until you've identified the culprit.
More here.

Study Calls for Expansion of Texas' Summer Lunch Program By Andrew Weber • Jun 10, 2013 flickr.com/USDAGov A new report spotlights the success and shortfalls of summer lunch programs for Texas students. The Food Research and Action Center found that the number of lunch programs across the state grew by 17 percent last year.

By Laura Rice • Jun 10, 2013 .texaswideopenforbusiness.com Gov. Rick Perry is launching an ad campaign in Connecticut and New York, trying to lure businesses to the Lone Star State. The move comes after Gov. Perry made similar efforts in California and Illinois. But this time, Perry's taking his message to television screens instead of radio. Texas Ranks 39th in National Survey of Senior Health By Andrew Weber • Jun 5, 2013 flickr.com/safari_vacation Texas and its capitol city are increasingly touted as great retirement destinations. But according to a recent study, the state ranks 48th in money spent on senior healthcare and 39th overall, in a national survey by United Health Foundation. The study from the health care giant found that 820,000 Texas seniors were physically inactive, which led to nearly 20 percent of seniors spending at least a week in intensive care in the final six months of their lives. Report: Dead Last in Voter Turnout, Texas Civic Health is 'Anemic' By Jennifer Stayton • Jun 4, 2013 flickr.com/dawilson A doctor who wants to determine a patient's health will gather all kinds of data - temperature, blood pressure, pulse, weight, blood test results, and the like - to come up with an overall picture of how the patient is doing. The Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life at the University of Texas at Austin kind of did the same thing to determine the civic health of Texas. Bad news: this patient's not in good shape. From Texas To Great Lakes, Severe Weather Due Again By Mark Memmott, NPR • May 28, 2013 The warnings aren't as ominous as they were eight days ago in the hours leading up to the tornado that devastated Moore, Okla., but the National Weather Service is predicting "another round of severe weather for the Central United States on Tuesday." Texas House Passes Bill to Increase Charter Cap By Marissa Barnett • May 16, 2013 Nathan Bernier/KUT News The Texas House passed a bill Thursday that would increase the amount of charter schools across the state.

Clean Up in North Texas: 10 Tornadoes Struck Area Overnight By Wells Dunbar • May 16, 2013 National Weather Service Cleanup is underway in North Texas after devastating tornadoes claimed six lives and multiple injuries.

Texas Democrats See Future in Mobilizing Latino Turnout By Veronica Zaragovia • May 15, 2013 flickr.com/buckygail No one doubts the growth of the Latino electorate in Texas.

Trey Martinez-Fischer, D-San Antonio, and State Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, joined Julie Martinez Ortega of PAC Plus to discuss the challenge at a news conference today. 'Hate Map' Collects, Charts Texas' Racist, Homophobic Tweets By Andrew Weber • May 15, 2013 Hate Map Language on social media is honest, instant and, sometimes, inappropriate. And the Internet's elephantine memory holds on to every last questionable comment.

Judge: Cheerleaders Can Keep Bible Verses On Banners By Morgan Smith, Texas Tribune • May 8, 2013 Eric Kayne for Texas Tribune Cheerleaders at an East Texas high school who were told to stop displaying Bible verses on banners at school athletic events can resume such displays, after a state district judge ruled in their favor Wednesday.

Fallen Texas Peace Officers Honored at Capitol By Bobby Blanchard • May 6, 2013 Bobby Blanchard for KUT News Earlier today, law enforcement officers took part in a memorial for the 25 Texas police officers who died in service over the past two years.

AG Greg Abbott: City & ISD Domestic Partner Benefits Unconstitutional (Update) By KUT Staff • Apr 30, 2013 Update: More signs from the City of Austin that Attorney General Greg Abbott's opinion won't mean any changes for now: a memo from City Manager Marc Ott on the matter. It reads, in part: While we will continue to evaluate the Attorney General's opinion, it continues to be our belief that the City's domestic partner group benefits program is not prohibited by the Texas Marriage Amendment, and that the Texas Legislature did not intend the Amendment to have that effect when it was placed before the voters in 2005. The Attorney General's opinion does not require the City to take any specific action, and we do not intend to change domestic partner eligibility for our benefits program at this time. Agenda Texas: A Written Defense of the 'Texas Miracle' By Ben Philpott & Ben Philpott • Apr 23, 2013 It's been called the Texas Miracle: Hundreds of thousands of jobs added, millions of people and thousands of companies moving here from other states. But that sense of pride inside Texas isn't shared outside the state. Critics say the majority of jobs created don't pay well and the state's low tax-low service model has led to crumbling schools, inadequate roads and a water crisis.

Dear Kay, Sometimes the mailbox provides a total surprise. A bit of Afghanistan showed up the other day, from our now nonvirtual friend Tish whom we met in the flesh at the New York sew-up.

Jeffco Public Schools
LAKEWOOD — Columbine football's rushing attack hasn't changed much over the years under long-time coach Andy Lowry.
The Jeffco school board agreed last Thursday to support some controversial resolutions by the Colorado Association of School Boards, including one in favor of scrapping the PARCC student-assessment exam.
At a study session, school board members discussed 18 proposed resolutions that will affect CASB's advocacy agenda during the 2017 legislative session. Another resolution that spurred controversy would advocate repeal of the state law that holds school districts liable in any school shooting or act of violence.

LAKEWOOD — Before Chatfield even took an offensive snap it snagged a 7-0 lead Sept. 15 at Jeffco Stadium.
Chatfield senior Dalton Keene blocked a punt and scooped it up to return it for a touchdown 77 seconds into the non-league football game to get the ball rolling for the Chargers.
