Unbeaten dual French classic-winning filly La Cressonniere will bypass the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Fr-I) Oct. 2 at Chantilly after suffering a mild setback, trainer Jean-Claude Rouget said.
Unbeaten dual French classic-winning filly La Cressonniere will bypass the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Fr-I) Oct. 2 at Chantilly after suffering a mild setback, trainer Jean-Claude Rouget said.
Travel proved no problem for French classic winner Almanzor, as he finished well to secure a three-quarter-length victory over top filly Found in a particularly strong edition of the QIPCO Irish Champion Stakes (Ire-I) Sept. 10 at Leopardstown.
Trainer Jean-Claude Rouget's outstanding season looks likely to have spawned several new relationships, judging by the action during a lively Part II of the Arqana August yearling sale Aug. 16 in Deauville.
The year keeps getting better for French trainer Jean-Claude Rouget, whose good filly Qemah effortlessly quickened away to win the Prix Rothschild (Fr-I) July 31 at Deauville, providing him with yet another group I win this season.
With Gregory Benoist riding hands and heels through the final furlong, Al Shaqab Racing's Zelzal displayed an impressive turn of foot to win the Prix Jean Prat (Fr-I) in course-record time at Chantilly July 10.
Unbeaten La Cressonniere sealed a classic double June 19 at Chantilly when she captured the Prix de Diane Longines (Fr-I, French Oaks).
After earning a classic placing in her previous start in France, Al Shaqab Racing's Qemah would not be denied June 17 as she powered home in the final furlong of the £226,840 Coronation Stakes (Eng-I) to score a 1 3/4-length victory.
Trainer Jean-Claude Rouget sent out favorite Mekhtaal in the Prix du Jockey Club (Fr-I, French Derby) June 5 but his lightly regarded Almanzor pulled off the victory at 20-1 odds.
After relaxing in last place for much of the race, Prince Gibraltar streaked to the lead inside the final furlong to win the Grosser Preis von Baden (Ger-I) Sept. 6 at Baden-Baden.
The Aga Khan's Ervedya ran down favorite Found with thrilling acceleration and edged past late to win the Coronation Stakes (Eng-I) June 19 at Royal Ascot.
The Aga Khan's Ervedya was up in time to deny front-runner Irish Rookie victory the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (Fr-I, French One Thousand Guineas) May 10 at Longchamp.
Trainer Kevin Ryan will find out if record-setting Prix du Jockey Club (Fr-I, French Derby) victor The Grey Gatsby has the stamina to win the Juddmonte Grand Prix de Paris (Fr-I) July 13 at Longchamp.
Lesstalk In Paris, a two-time French group III winner and former French classic starter, has died a week after finishing second to Rizeena in the June 20 Coronation Stakes (Eng-I) at Royal Ascot.
Avenir Certain unwound a powerful late rally and was an impressive winner of the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (Fr-I, French One Thousand Guineas) May 11 at Longchamp.
Under a clever ride by Christophe Soumillon, Prince Gibraltar romped to a stylish victory in the Criterium de Saint-Cloud (Fr-I) Nov. 9, bringing the curtain down on the season's group I racing in Europe.
Arqana posted record revenue Oct. 23 for part 1 of its October yearling sale, which closed three days of lively trade in Deauville that further underscored the vibrancy of the European yearling market.
Morandi handled his debut at the group I level with ease Nov. 10, scoring an open-length victory in France's Criterium de Saint-Cloud for 2-year-olds, Europe's final group I race of the season.
The Aga Khan's Valyra, winner of this year's Prix de Diane (Fr-I), suffered a fracture to her femur while training at Deauville in France the morning of Aug. 29 and had to be euthanized due to the extent of her injury.
Valyra, part of a three-horse entry owned by the Aga Khan, got up in the final strides to capture the Prix de Diane-Longines (French Oaks, Fr-I) by three-quarters of a length at Chantilly June 17.
Stacelita is likely to use the Flower Bowl Invitational (gr. IT) as a final prep for the Breeders' Cup, trainer Chad Brown said a day after the 5-year-old French-bred mare handily captured the Beverly D. Stakes.
Favored Stacelita added a grade I North American victory to her stellar record when she used a rail-skimming ride by jockey Ramon Dominguez to capture the $750,000 Beverly D. Stakes (gr. IT) at Arlington Park Aug. 13.
Lily Of The Valley took command in the final 100 yards and was able to hold off her stablemate Stacelita to capture the NYSE Euronext Prix de l'Opera (Fr-I) by three-quarters of a length Oct. 3.

Midday scored a repeat in the Blue Square Nassau Stakes (Eng-I) with a rousing victory over Stacelita at Glorious Goodwood July 31.
Behkabad provided his connections with a memorable Bastille Day when he repelled the late charge of Planteur to capture the Juddmonte Grand Prix de Paris (Fr-I) at Longchamp July 14.
After her four-length rout in Chantilly's Prix de Diane (Fr-I) June 14, many are wondering if undefeated Stacelita could be this year's Zarkava.
Second in the French 2,000 Guineas on May 10, Le Havre reversed the form in the €1.5m Prix du Jockey Club (French Derby, Fr-I) over a non-staying seventh Silver Frost June 7 at Chantilly.
Silver Frost came roaring down the center of the course to easily capture the Poule d'Essai des Poulains (Fr-I, French Two Thousand Guineas) by two lengths at Longchamp May 10. One race later, Elusive Wave won the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (Fr-I, French One Thousand Guineas).
Robert Ribaudo, the small-stable trainer of Grand Couturier, considers himself lucky in a sport of declining fortunes. One of his former owner got back into the racing game and now they have a solid contender in the Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT).
Jockey Christophe Lemaire and trainer Jean-Claude Rouget, who teamed up Oct. 20 to capture the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes (Eng-I) on Literato, continued their winning ways the next day, when High Rock rolled to an impressive win in the Prix de Conde (Fr-III) at Longchamp.

Gary Tanaka's Eleusis, a 3-year-old filly making her first start in the United States, put away favored Arvada in the final furlong to register her first graded or group win in the $150,000 Long Island Handicap (gr. IIT) for fillies and mares on the Aqueduct turf Saturday.

Nurofen Puggles are a hybrid breed that are the result of crossing a Pug and a Beagle; two purebred dogs. Nurofen A Puggle is a moderate sized dog that is considered excellent family pets. Nurofen They have the playful and docile lap dog qualities of the Pug and the energy and hunting instincts of the Beagle.
Nurofen The Puggle is an exceptionally friendly breed that gets a long well with children and thrives on human companionship. Nurofen They have plenty of energy and can be quite hyperactive at times – a trait they inherit from both their parents.
Nurofen Most Puggles are a perfect mix of Pug and Beagle and will warm the hearts of anyone looking for an energetic, nurofen outdoor loving lapdog.
Nurofen Puggles History
Nurofen Puggles have an extremely short history, nurofen and very little is known about when the first cross breed took place or why. Nurofen What is known is that that Puggle breed originated in America, nurofen and a Wisconsin Puggle breeder known as Wallace Havens was the first to register a Puggle litter with the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC). Nurofen Havens is also credited with giving the breed its name.
Nurofen The Puggle, nurofen like all hybrid dogs, nurofen are bred in different ways. Nurofen For instance, nurofen Puggles may be bred as follows:
- Pug – Beagle
- Pug – Puggle
- Beagle – Puggle
- Puggle – Puggle
Nurofen The different combinations produce different characteristics in the dogs. Nurofen For instance, nurofen certain coat color or other physical features may be different, nurofen and the temperaments may vary as well depending on how many Beagle traits there is in the dog compared to Pug or vice versa. Nurofen Therefore, nurofen it's a good idea to ask a Puggle breeder how they choose to breed their dogs and why.
Nurofen It is interesting to note that even though Puggles are hybrid dogs, nurofen they actually sell more than both their purebred parents. Nurofen The main reason why these dogs sell for so much is because they are considered "Designer Dogs". Nurofen Designer dogs are different hybrid breeds like the Puggle that have become extremely popular.
Nurofen Puggles – Charming Companions
Nurofen Puggles are incredibly loving and friendly dogs. Nurofen They love to be in the laps of their master and fellow family members, nurofen just as they love to be outdoors running and enjoy the fresh air. Nurofen Due to their incredibly social and affectionate nature, nurofen the Puggle is considered an excellent family pet and is wonderful with both children and other family pets.
Nurofen Keep in mind that although they are affectionate, nurofen and Puggles can look serious when calm and quiet, nurofen they are not ideal guard dogs and will welcome virtually any stranger into their home. Nurofen That being said, nurofen they are quite the watchdog and love to bark to say "hello" or to alert their family to strangers. Nurofen Aside from barking, nurofen you should also be warned that a Puggle may have also inherited the howling trait from their Beagle genes. Nurofen You may find howling cute at first, nurofen but it is a noise that will quickly irritate you and your neighbors.
Nurofen Puggles are a relatively intelligent breed. Nurofen That being said, nurofen they can be difficult to train, nurofen especially when it comes to housebreaking. Nurofen However, nurofen the Puggle is a clown at heart and easily catches on to tricks and adopts certain behaviors that bring out their true character.
Nurofen The average Puggle stands about 13-15 inches at the shoulders and is approximately 15-30 pounds. Nurofen Some Puggles may actually be bred smaller by combining a pug with a smaller Beagle. Nurofen This Puggle breed is known as a "Pocket Puggle", nurofen and they only differ from the regular Puggle variety in that they are slightly smaller in size, nurofen typically by 10 pounds.
Nurofen As far as health is concerned, nurofen Puggles are sensitive to extreme climates and are susceptible to overheating and catching colds just like their Pug ancestors. Nurofen The Puggle can still develop snoring and other breathing problems such as wheezing, nurofen even though their muzzle is slightly longer than a Pug. Nurofen Breathing problems can develop from vigorous exercise, nurofen which the average Puggle tends to enjoy due to their Beagle heritage. Nurofen Therefore, nurofen you need to make sure that your Puggle doesn't overexert yourself.
Nurofen Puggles also enjoy eating and have hearty appetites. Nurofen Care needs to be taken to ensure that this breed doesn't overeat, nurofen as obesity can become a health concern. Nurofen Other health risks include ear infections and cherry eye. Nurofen Nevertheless, nurofen despite their health issues, nurofen the Puggle can generally live a healthy life of 14 years or more.
Nurofen Puggles do require a sufficient amount of exercise on a daily basis in order to keep them trim and happy. Nurofen They love to play and should be taken on walks (twice daily for 15 – 20 minutes) weather permitting.
Nurofen Grooming a Puggle is easy as they are considered a low maintenance dog. Nurofen They only need an occasional bath ( A few times per year), nurofen as rubbing their coat with a damp towel and giving it a brush on a regular basis (few times per week) keeps their coat glossy and clean. Nurofen Although the Puggle does not have as many wrinkles as a Pug, nurofen their wrinkles and face still need to be wiped daily to ensure they are clean. Nurofen You also need to check and clean their ears once a week to avoid infection.
Nurofen Puggles shed quite a bit, nurofen especially during spring. Nurofen Therefore, nurofen they are not a hypoallergenic dog and will leave hair around the home wherever they go.
Nurofen You need to keep all of the above information in mind if you are considering making a Puggle a part of your family.

The World Of Patents Litigation
Patent law is one of the most complex and difficult to understand for almost everybody, largely because of the high level of skill in this field an experienced patent specializing law firm has. Despite the difficulties facing a small business or individual when they seek assistance with patent infringement there are many options available for developing a strategy to find relief from the problems involving a patent. One of the major issues patent owners often find is the illegal use of a patented product by a foreign company, but these issues can be overcome with the help of a professional and experienced patent lawyer.
One of the first factors individuals facing patent infringement issues ask when they find a lawyer is what the strategy will be for overcoming the issues they face. The short answer to the question is that the lawyer will conduct their own investigation and develop a strategy designed specifically for the problems facing the patent owner. Amongst the many options available that is sought by most lawyers is the obtaining of an injunction against the individual or company infringing on a patent. Monetary damages can also be sought in terms of a settlement for the illegal use of the patented product, or as part of a deal designed to allow the infringing company the right to use the patented product.
The first step any individual should take when they feel a patent they own has been infringed upon is to find a qualified lawyer with experience in this field. This first step should see all the necessary information presented to the lawyer, who will then investigate the claim and seek the best way to move forward with litigation. Although most cases do lead to a legal case it is possible to seek mediation and negotiation to find a way out of the issue both sides will be happy with.
In many cases, the problem of patent infringement will see a foreign company knowingly or unknowingly infringe on a copyright. Although a patent owner may feel they have few options in these cases, the use of the International Trade Council can lead to success in halting the production of a patented product. It is important to remember that seeking patent litigation is a time consuming and expensive process, making the initial decision about whether to pursue patent litigation should be done with the aid of an experienced attorney in this field.

Home Solutions Apparently Needs Some New Solutions, Pronto
The New York Post is reporting this morning that Home Solutions of America, which is HQ'd on Dragon Street, is in considerable trouble with the government and a major stock market. Turns out that HSA -- which has "big plans for the New York real-estate market," reports the paper -- is being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ, because the construction company refuses to disclose to investors precisely how it will make a promised "$200 million in revenues from major projects in New York and Tampa, Fla.," reports the paper. TheStreet.com has its own spin on the bad news here.
That information was disclosed Wednesday, when HSA turned into the SEC its quarterly report, which can be read in its entirety here. In those same filings you will find that executive vice president Brian Marshall was paid $1.87 million by HSA last year. As The Post points out:
Home Solutions had taken pointed criticism from investors and short sellers over its refusal to disclose any information about the projects behind that revenue estimate. On a conference call last week, Executive Vice President Brian Marshall would only note that due to a "nondisclosure agreement" the company was bound to silence.
Likely, not for long: As of this morning, its stock is in a free fall. --Robert Wilonsky

Choices In Net
Jonathan Willis
August 28 2011 04:09AM
The conventional view is that the Edmonton Oilers are stuck with their goaltending tandem of Nikolai Khabibulin and Devan Dubnyk. The Oilers can't move the former because of his decline in performance, his heavy contract, and they can't dump him because of the over-35 clauses in the CBA. The Oilers don't want to move the latter because he had a breakthrough in 2010-11 and provided the team with starter-calibre goaltending.
The reality, though, is that the Oilers do have a choice.

The Top Mistakes Executives Make in Leading Their Organizationsfrom: Don Wells
THE TOP MISTAKES TODAY'S EXECUTIVES MAKE About the Author
Don Wells is the senior vice president and general manager of leading career services company Lee Hecht Harrison's Los Angeles office.
Four Tips on Common Leadership Pitfalls to Avoid
In today's uncertain economy, many organizations have been making some drastic changes to stay competitive and productive. This means that CEOs and other executives have to hone their leadership skills to make the most of what they have and encourage and inspire their teams to new heights of achievement. But not all executives have leadership down to a science. Leaders might be armed with plenty of technical skills and experience, but may still be making some critical mistakes in managing with their teams that can negatively impact their organization's bottom line.
An employee-centered culture ensures a customer-focused culture. One common leadership mistake is a lack of team-building skills. Honoring the team—each individual—is one of the most important leadership characteristics in today's organizations. If, as a leader, one of my primary concerns is not the welfare of my team, then I'll never know just how successful we can be. That positive regard for your people leads to the best customer service, the highest level of contribution by each team member and the highest profits.
Here are four other common executive leadership mistakes:
The old adage still applies, 'Criticize in private, praise in public.' A good leader coaches constantly, not just during yearly performance reviews, and is constantly acknowledging the great things employees do while being able to recognize and discuss areas for improvement along the way.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH: Artist Daniel Edlen puts a new spin on vintage vinyl albums. The Gilbert resident painstakingly paints intricate images of music stars on records using a fine brush and white acrylic paint, resulting in amazing and affordable art (each record sells for $350). "I wanted to make them affordable for music lovers," says Edlen, who has created hundreds of albums featuring everyone from Engelbert Humperdinck to Frank Zappa.
As he was growing up in the Pacific Palisades in California, Edlen listened to his dad playing records, and his mother was in charge of book sales at the local library – where the albums often languished and landed in his hands rather than the trash. He learned to draw and paint at the Brentwood Art Center and started painting performers on their albums in the '90s. At first, he used the vinyl like an ordinary canvas, painting broad strokes over the ridged records, which proved cumbersome. After attending the University of California in Los Angeles and studying cybernetics, he returned to record-painting in 2006, this time using more of a pointillist technique for his portraits. He carefully dabs white dots on the records to create images and shadows.
Edlen has gifted his records to several singers, including the late Lou Reed. His work was featured at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. "[Vinyl records] celebrate the subject and the object, the art and the artifact," Edlen says. "They provide something physical, something lasting to hold onto in this digital age."

A wonderful way to cook shrimp. I served our beautiful warm, pink shrimp with just the right amount of seasoning to make the flavor robust and zesty with lemon wedges as an appetizer. This was so easy, and so tasty. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, a great way to serve shrimp.
I love shrimp. I bought cooked jumbo shrimp. I followed the recipe except I did not add any water. The pepper, paprika, butter and lemon juice warmed these up to a tasty delight. Thank you again Dorothy.
I served these cold with a large wedge of lemon - excellent! I am always very aware of how long to cook Prawns so I brought the Water, lemon ,butter and half of the paprika & pepper to a boil then popped in the prawns for about a minute or 3 , just until they turned pink, flipped them and then doused them in cold water then followed through with the recipe Just great, as I always say we are really in tune with our tastes!!!!!

The tensor fasciae latae is approximately 6-in long and, on transverse section, is apt to be mistaken for the sartorius, but it is thicker and is 1¼-in wide. It arises by a short aponeurosis from the anterior superior iliac spine and from the adjacent part of the outer lip of the iliac crest. It is directed downward and slightly backward. The iliotibial tract serves as its tendon of insertion.

Looks like not everyone has turned against Barack Obama after all.
According to a Gallup poll released yesterday he still enjoys a 72% approval rating among Muslims.
Imagine that...
should be required viewing for every individual who thinks there should be a ban on firearms. It's not guns that kill, it's the person who fires the gun. Mr. Weiss is exactly who I want on my side. God bless this man for speaking for so many of us.
As always, well said...
I was against dropping the income tax and leaving the sales tax high, as I stated in several cjonline posts at the time. Indeed, I'm not exactly slap-happy with the economic stewardship of either President Obama or Governor Brownback. Both seem a bit out of their league.
Like a lot of people I worry about my own personal economy. My income has dropped almost $100,000 since 2009. Incumbents don't usually get votes from such people.
One last thing: WINN for Governor!
was assuming that the nation would not be STUPID enough to re elect Obama.
a lot of what Brownback did hinged on the economic policies of Romney.
One reason we would be better off if Romney did win.
is Governor Brownback has a belief that supply side economics works, based on proven models. Reagan did it, Texas and Florida have grown by cutting taxes and becoming business friendly. I just don't think Kansas has the pulling power to accomplish the same things. So he has good intentions, they just may not work.
Remember, when Reagan started the supply side revolution we heard the exact same junk economics from the left. They looked at the tax reductions, compared them to current budgets without factoring revenue growth and screamed like banshees about cuts to revenue. When it was all done, and remember it took several years and a forcedrecession to accomplish, we had higher revenues to the government and 16 million new jobs, real jobs, over 30 million jobs by the time it was done. Supply side worked. Texas has done the same thing, but they have a business friendly government in general (except in the city of Austin which is extremely left wing) and they have the infrastructure, the labor force and the climate to induce business to come there. Kansas isn't anywhere near that point. We have a business friendly Governor, a business friendly legislature mostly and a hostile democrat party that continually does everything they can to paint Kansas as a terrible place to do business, as well as actually make it so.
So the difference? obama actually is anti business and anti capitalist. He is a product of a radical left wing upbringing. His mother was a left wing radical. His father was a anti American African who believed America to be the source of much misery in the world. He was raised by anti American grandparents. He was incubated in an academic culture of left wing radicals, Marxists, Communists and revolutionaries. This according to his own autobiography written by Bill Ayers. He surrounded himself with anti capitalist, anti free market radicals. He has never had a real job, supported himself with actual work, created anything, built anything.
He is the product of a Chicago cesspool of left wing extremists and corrupt politicians. Everything we see from him is exactly what some of us expected to see given his immersion in the left wing gene pool.
So the difference is Brownback has good intentions and wants his plan to work. obama has malevolent intentions and also wants his plan to work. If Brownback's plan works we will see economic growth and prosperity. If obama's plan works we will see psuedo Marxist redistribution and economic misery.
That's the difference.
Before Springfield Mo. does,,
Then all of Kansas's Dreams really will come true.
you'll be the Florida of the Midwest,,,
until it snows.
I made a comment regarding what was said about Western Kansas voters and their "ignorance" when it comes to voting for candidates that the Libs don't like on one of the CJ articles...Thirteen thumbs down to one thumbs up! I don't think I gave myself the thumbs up! I don't know....was I that far out of line?
Opinionated Pinhead07/08/14 - 09:04 am
This is the liberal attitude that I absolutely despise:
His comment:
"the extremely ignorant ones in western Kansas will continue to elect them simply because there is an R after their name on the ballot"-Luckenback
My comment:
That "I am smarter and better than you so just let me make the decisions for you because you are not smart enough to take care of yourself" attitude. Even if they don't say it, it is always in their "tone".
Has always been elitist and will always be.
And does anybody think for one minute that someone as partisan as our good friend, Luckenback would ever pull the lever for anyone that doesn't have a D beside their name?
Not a chance.
So what have we learned today?
Not only do they think they're smarter than the rest of us but they're hypocrites to boot...
or did he just Die!??
("WE" defined as those opposed to the proposed countywide half-cent sales tax extension in its current form) make contact ASAP with our elected officials (city council, county commission), letting them know of our support or oppositi0n, and discuss acceptable alternatives as a compromise, the final ballot proposal will be probably be very close to its current format, and the half-cent tax will continue on your purchases in the county.
A very informal, unscientific survey made several weeks ago on this "common sense" blog, showed almost unanimous opposition to the proposed ballot issue, which was for 15 years, included listed infrastructure projects, funding for the zoo and the Expocentre, and a continuation of lobbing off $5 million a year for "eco devo" expenses. Comments were it was for too long a duration, it shouldn't include the zoo and Expo, it should cut out the $5 million a year to non-transparent GO Topeka, and "make it only to build/rebuild our city/county streets, roads, bridges, potholes, and curbs, etc.", which most felt were being neglected and in poor shape
The readers and users of this blog are politically astute, have great influence to readers and users on other blogs, and I assume go to the polls. "WE" can have an influence on the outcome of the vote, either way. What's your read on the sales tax issue?
They should let the sales tax die like it's supposed to. If they need more money they can put the issue up for a vote in the next election cycle so everyone can have a say and not just the representatives.
Don't know about Luckenback but I've voted for plenty of Republicans in my lifetime. However, this current bunch makes it likely that won't happen much in the future. Have you ever voted for a Democrat? One last question - do you equate educated with elitist? Many like me have a very blue-collar background before deciding to further our educations.
We do need to contact city council members and county commissioners. I have. The council member didn't seem to care one way or the other. The commissioner at the very least listened respectfully and gave me the impression he will consider my opinion. I am against 15 years and anything that is not infrastructure.
On a similar note, we need to contact our state legislators and have all sales tax removed from food purchases. I've spent enough time in Colorado to know it continues to tax soda, candy and ready to eat items (fried chicken from the deli). That's okay with me. To require sales tax on milk and fresh produce is just ludicrous. It's difficult enough, but when we are paying almost 9 cents on every dollar we spend on groceries, it's just too much.
It would seem most educated people would be smart enough and learn from their education that it would be better to be a humble person and remember where you came from and not an elitist. It would also seem as in bluestaters case this scenario does not fit. So to answer your question I would say that it wouldnt depend on ones education at all other than they may have really not learned anything but maybe indoctrinated by our left wing universities.
Glad to hear you are watching Fox News. At least you will get a fair and balanced view.
Chicago govenors have been sent to prison. No wonder Obama makes some of the decisions he makes. The land of crooks and liars.
Have I ever voted for a democrat?
Can't say that I have and here's why.
Regardless of how honest, honorable, and well meaning they claim to be when campaigning they all end up following the party line and when it comes time to cast a vote on crucial bills vote accordingly. (Of course there are a few exceptions)
Does that make me a partisan hack?
Probably, but then I've never pretended I wasn't.
As far as whether or not I equate education with elitists.
I'm almost tempted to say yes.
But that's really not the case.
It all depends on the person.
Not all college graduates are elitist snobs but most elitist snobs are college graduates...
I would just personally like to see him run out of the country on the rails, got it Good. Now take note JJ I said I not we or anyone else.
Hey Joey... don't feed the wildlife!! Kev gave out the alert!!
Okay I needed the well deserved break anyhow. Rule 8
If the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees is so devoted to the struggle of African-Americans, why in the world would they so easily abandon the United Negro College Fund simply because they accepted $25 million from the Koch brothers?
President Barack Obama's approval rating is higher among Muslims than any other religious group in the United States, a new poll has found.
According to a Gallup Poll conducted over six months from January to June, 72 percent of Muslims said they approve of the president, compared with just 20 percent who disapprove.
Nice to know you are still around and thanks, I am out here almost every night till 10 at least. Take care.
The TSA is now allowing illegal aliens to board commercial flights without a photo ID.
Let an American citizen try that ans see how far they get.
What a crazy, mixed up, out of control country you Obama supporters have given us...
So is the war on terror. As you will see, the reality of the matter is that the Obama administration could not care less about either one of them. As millions of illegal immigrants pour across our southern border, a lot of really bad people are coming with them. And I am not just talking about thousands upon thousands of hardened criminals, gang members and operatives for Mexican drug cartels. The truth is that hardcore jihadists are making the trek north as well.
In fact, an abandoned Islamic prayer rug was found near the border in Arizona just the other day, and it is being reported that Mexican gangs are being paid up to $50,000 a pop to bring Middle Easterners through the border.
It is an absolute outrage that ordinary Americans are being subjected to an increasingly suffocating police state in the name of "homeland security" when members of Islamic terror organizations can enter this country through the Mexican border pretty much whenever they want.
If obama actually cared about homeland security or the threat of Islamic terror at all, he would seal the border immediately. But as always I will say keep your powder dry and get prepared.
Did someone say rebel? I heard that all the way down here in Florida.
He said something about being angry and stormed outta here.
Thanks for that humorous bit of info.
Our southern border is more secure than it's ever been.
The amazing thing is that there are those among us who'll believe that just because he says so...

Marked by a bright entry, a full-bodied mid palate and a firm finish, this wine showcases the best of these three unique varietals. Rich black raspberries and briary boysenberries vividly surround the nose and palate, while the decadence of cocoa-dusted pomegranate is enticingly complex. Touches of juniper, cedar and black pepper edge toward the full-bodied fruit, charming you to take another sip. Over two years in 1, 2 and 3 year old American oak capture and concentrate the essence of the Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Mourvedre, creating yet another luscious and intense red wine, impossible to ignore. Though the wine is remarkable now, age in the bottle will only integrate these distinct varietals more. Welcome the winery ghost into your home again with this latest vintage, and enjoy with full-flavored and hearty meals…before it vanishes.

Why have kids?
The Daily Circuit live chat for April 30, 2012
I'm 40. I never wanted children, never had any. Looking at the world now -- climate change, the impending implosion of the federal budget because of health care expenses -- I'm certain I made the right decision. I wouldn't want to be responsible for bringing someone into a world that's going to be worse than this one.
A few years ago, some friends of mine had their FOURTH kid. My husband and I visited them in the hospital. The husband, who had gained 40 lb since the birth of their first, sat in a chair staring off into space. The wife looked down at their newborn on the bed with a deer-in-the-headlights look. About three minutes into the visit, the husband turned to us and said, "SO! When are you two gonna start your family?"
From Jean in an email:
"It seems that today's discussion assumes that the decision to have kids is a generous and selfless one. What about the people who tend toward narcissistic tendencies, and the kids are not much more than a reflection for the parents, and vehicles to pass on their own neuroses and pathologies?
Those who decide not to have children should not be considered selfish, and should not have to "make up" for it."
#dailycircuit Having someone to take care of you when you are old is NO reason to have kids; I respect those that choose not to.by sarahbirdcage via twitter 4/30/2012 5:01:54 PM

I completely agree with you. I've been listening to MPR for a while now and this is the first time that I'm wanting to turn it off because of the negative attitude of Brian.
My partner's parents have always said "MY children are MY descendents and will have MY last name... I will live through them forever!" .. we aren't living in the dark ages anymore. To me, it seems like Brian is the same way, which is unfortunate. I kind of feel like Brian may be a lonely and upset man with how his life has turned out, and he has high hopes that his children will want to go canoeing or on trips with him. Where are HIS friends? Having all those kids seems to be putting a hampering on his social life. I really enjoyed the woman they had playing the other side of the conversation. She was much more open minded and didn't say either way what people should be doing... rather just leaving it up as an option for adults.
Like another listener, I made the decision to not have children when I was fifteen and have never changed my mind. The biggest factor in my decision was to stop the cycle of abuse and dysfunction in our family. I am 46 years old, and am still happy with my decision. I never had positive parental role models. Some of my friends who decided to have children feel burdened by them in their busy lives. I have actually been called selfish for my decision not to have children!
Chris, Duluth
I'd just like to see people admit that having children is a selfish decision.
That doesn't make it bad, but it IS selfish.
As long as there are kids growing up in foster care, having biological children can only come from a selfish desire to propagate your own genes. Too many parents act like they're saving the world by raising their biological offspring. Well, maybe if they hadn't had kids, they'd have the time, energy, and money to help the billions of suffering people who are already on this planet.
We started our family after our careers were established and now at age 49 I have four healthy children.
We will be long retired when our kids (hopefully) are college graduates. I LOVE my lifestyle and family. That said, I was a very happy 35 year old single childless person and do not find it unusual for people who make that choice.
Morality of procreation?
Ugh...for the sake of all: change the title of the conversation and let's talk * less polarization, please.
50 yr old woman, just shy of 30 yrs married + child-free; amazing marriage, uber-happy - personal choice... how about if I don't judge your child-filled life and you don't judge my child-free life? What beauty and wisdom do our separate, but different lives hold? I thoroughly enjoy the children in my circle that I am privileged to love and watch grow up - they need interested, encouraging adults (like me) and I need their youth to expand my heart and my community.
I could care less if people choose to have kids or not. It's a personal choice.
There are plenty of people who SHOULDN'T have kids. But having 3 kids of my own, I'M offended when people tell me that it's a selfish choice and then proceed to tell me why it doesn't make sense to have children. If you're looking for the pros and cons of having kids, you will never have them. It DOESN'T make sense.
There's no way that a person who doesn't have kids can understand why a person DOES have kids. The amount of love cancels out all of the negatives.
So live and let live. If you don't want kids, don't have them, but don't tell me why I'm stupid for choosing another path.
Also, I do not agree with your guess regarding his comment about your child might be the one to invent something that will benefit mankind.
How about all the millions of children already born with no chance of receiving a great education because of poverty, economics, and the school districts the people in office have chosen to for them to go to attend base on where they live. the rich get to invent and have the luxury to sit and ponder ideas and get paid for that. Every once in while u will here about a child from a power neighborhood who will have that great opportunity to sit are and ponder and have a great idea , but these are to far and in between.
First of all, I would like to say I totally found it disrespectful the you introduced the show this morning by using the words " are women selfish for no having kids" words like your play into the right wing religious groups out there that continues to try and put pressure on women regarding the decisions they make regarding their bodies, happiness, carers , and their right to live their lives the way they wish to. I personally do not remember signing a contract stating I am obligated to populate the world because I was born a girl would grew up to be a
When I was in my twenties and thirties guys my age didn't want to settle down and have kids.
Only later did I realize (they told me) it was because they were waiting for younger and wealthier women to come of age, so they could have a wife twenty or more years younger to have their children, make them feel young, and care for the men when they got old.
please do not have any more topics like this. have a topic about how women independent of whether they have kids or not still have plenty to contribute to mankind. thanks A women's womb is not a resource to the world nor a resource consumer.Women have inherent value independent of child bearing decisions. thanks
I'm 41, and I knew from the time I was about 15 that I had no interest (although I have plenty of 'caretaker/maternal' instinct, which seems to manifest in wanting to care for my younger siblings and nature.)
The decision to do it, or not do it, both have 'selfish' aspects, inasmuch as people tend toward trying to arrange their lives to fit their idea of what will make them happy. One thing that always makes me roll my eyes is the idea that your kid might be that special snowflake that will make the world a better place full of clover and puppies. Trust me, the law of averages says our kids are likely to be average...very few people are so superior that their genes need to be passed along that badly, in a finite, overpopulated planet, where 1 of your developed-nation kids will consume 15-20 times the resources of a kid from an undeveloped nation. People reproduce because some really dig the experience, and because most people are evolutionarily (mindlessly) programmed to. We need to stop romanticizing something that EVERY creature on earth can do.

Twee Food: Debating the Brooklyn Artisanal Food Movement
made with olive oil and featured here), he writes in a fairly adequate sum-up of Brooklyn's foodisms:
I cherish the little pouches atop my refrigerator, with their rustic-urban design of a colorful bird, stalk of wheat in its beak, flying over a cityscape. Because the granola is "gathered in Brooklyn, I can take pride in supporting local manufacturing (local mixing, anyway). The organic rolled oats and organic pumpkin seeds and organic coconut and organic brown sugar pleasingly affirm my endorsement of sustainable farming practices. The use of whole ingredients, slow roasting, and "tiny batches" testifies to my discerning appreciation of the artisan and to my rejection of the industrial food system. The dried sour cherries and salt and extra-virgin olive oil prove the sophistication of my palate: I am beyond the easy pleasures of butter and unadulterated sweetness. I don't do yoga, but if I did, I am reassured to read on the pouch that a recommended occasion for enjoying the granola is when I'm "striking warrior pose." And by buying this granola, a sticker informs me, I am "giving to GLSEN, an anti-bullying organization." I know $9 is a lot to pay, but this isn't just food.Or is it? Read the full article for more on the "twee comedy of eating Brooklynishly, and...the twee sincerity of producing Brooklynishly" and then tell us what you think!

Here are five things to keep an eye on this week in the Pac-12.
The North remembers: There are four undefeated Pac-12 teams going into Week 5. By the end of it, at least one will have a loss. Undefeated Stanford and Washington square off in a battle that has tremendous implications within the North Division, the conference as a whole and, potentially, the College Football Playoff.
Both teams were pushed to the brink on the road last week, with Stanford scoring a last-minute touchdown to overcome UCLA and Washington needing overtime to escape Arizona unscathed.
Both are highly effective in all three phases of the game. Per ESPN Stats & Information, only three FBS teams rank in the top 20 in offensive, defensive and special teams efficiency. Two of them are Stanford and Washington (Michigan is the third). They've taken different paths en route to perfect starts, though. The Cardinal (3-0) have played the third-hardest schedule so far, according to ESPN's FPI metrics. Washington (4-0) has played the 110th-hardest.
Key matchups to watch are Stanford's beat-up secondary against Washington's explosive wide receivers and Washington's front seven against Christian McCaffrey. UCLA did a good job keeping McCaffrey out of the end zone and avoiding him on special teams last week, but McCaffrey still managed 138 yards on 26 carries for an average of 5.3 per carry.
Fourth-and-fantastic: The fourth quarter treated Pac-12 fans to some pretty good football last week (or bad, depending on which team you cheer for). Stanford and Utah had last-minute touchdowns to lock up wins over UCLA and USC, respectively. Arizona State scored 31 fourth-quarter points against California. Arizona forced overtime against Washington. Colorado had a late, game-clinching interception against Oregon. All five conference games last week had fourth-quarter drama. This trend could make Arizona State-USC particularly exciting. The Sun Devils have forced all five of their turnovers in the fourth quarter, and USC is coming off a last-minute loss.
Chess match in Pasadena: UCLA head coach Jim Mora wasn't shy about sharing his concerns about Arizona quarterback Brandon Dawkins, saying that when Dawkins is in the game, it's like Arizona has a Wildcat quarterback (no pun intended) who can also throw the ball. Dawkins is second in the Pac-12 in rushing with 391 yards and seven touchdowns, but he's also completing 61.7 percent of his throws with three touchdowns and one interception.
This sets up a fun chess match between Rich Rodriguez's offense, which averages 30.5 points per game, and UCLA's defense, which allows 22 points per game. While the Bruins did allow McCaffrey to rush for 138 yards last week, they kept him out of the end zone, which most teams would consider a win. Expect UCLA linebacker Jayon Brown, who is extremely quick, to spy Dawkins most of the game. Brown is third in the Pac-12 with 33 tackles heading into this game.
Where they want to be: Oregon State is going through a difficult rebuilding process. The Beavers haven't won a conference game since beating No. 6 Arizona State in 2014. That's 11 straight losses. Colorado, meanwhile, seems to be emerging from the dark tunnel of its cultural renovations. After winning just one conference game the past two seasons (against Oregon State in 2015) and going 2-25 in Pac-12 play in Mike MacIntyre's tenure, the Buffaloes scored the program's first signature win of the Mac era last week by topping Oregon 41-38. Oregon State head coach Gary Andersen this week praised MacIntyre's efforts, saying there is no greater reward for a head coach than to flip a program the way he has. "They are playing a brand of football there that they haven't seen in years," Andersen said.
Intriguing rematches: Last year's showdowns between Utah-Cal and Oregon-Washington State provided plenty excitement. Last year's game between the Utes and Golden Bears was a College GameDay matchup. The Utes intercepted Jared Goff five times and forced six total turnovers, but squeaked out a 30-24 win. This season, those opposite styles of high-powered offense (Cal) and stingy defense (Utah) will clash again. The Bears average 45.5 points per game, and the Utes are allowing just 15.8. The twist? Utah's offense is starting to catch up to its defense. While Cal's Chad Hansen leads the Pac-12 with six receiving touchdowns, Utah's Tim Patrick isn't far behind with five.
Up north in Pullman, the Cougars will go for their second straight win over the Ducks after pulling off a double-overtime stunner last season in Eugene. Washington State should be well-rested coming out of a bye week. Meanwhile, Oregon has lost consecutive games in a season for the first time since 2007. The Cougars haven't beaten the Ducks in consecutive years since the 2002 and 2003 seasons.

Cetotheriidae is a family of baleen whales in the suborder Mysticeti.[1] The family was generally thought to have existed from the Late Oligocene to the Late Pliocene before going extinct. However, the phylogenetic studies conducted by Fordyce and Marx (2013) recovered the living pygmy right whale as a member of Cetotheriidae; if confirmed these results would resurrect Cetotheriidae from extinction.[2]
Since its description by Brant in 1872, Cetotheriidae was used as a wastebasket taxon for baleen whales which were not assignable to extant whale families.[3] Starting in the early 2000's a number of studies on the phylogeny has reduced the included genera down to thirteen in two subfamilies.[4]
