Delta Downs: Goldencents ends season on high note with Jackpot win
VINTON, La. - Goldencents hinted he had the makings of a top-class of colt last month when he played runner-up to eventual Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Shanghai Bobby in the Grade 1 Champagne at Belmont Park.
Goldencents now has a major stakes win of his own after setting a fast pace and prevailing in the $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot at Delta Downs. He won by a length and three-quarters over favorite Bern Identity. It was another length and a quarter back to Mylute in third.
"He's such a nice colt," said Doug O'Neill, who trains Goldencents. "He has so much natural speed and he handled himself like a seasoned pro."
Goldencents ($7.20) broke well in the Grade 3 Jackpot, and proceeded to run the opening quarter of the mile and a sixteenth race for 2-year-olds in 22.69 seconds, pushed along by Heaven's Runway. Goldencents shook free down the backside, and continued to lead through quick fractions of 46.22 for the half-mile and 1:11.18 for six furlongs. Goldencents went on to cover the distance on a track rated fast in 1:44.89.
"The more I asked, the more he gave," said Kevin Krigger, regular rider on Goldencents.
"I came in confident like I did in New York, when we finished second in the Champagne. This is the best 2-year-old I have ever sat on. To come into this type of race with this type of horse I have been waiting my entire career for a horse like this. This horse is very professional. He's never rank and never does anything wrong."
Goldencents won his debut at Del Mar, then shipped to Belmont Park for last month's Champagne. He set the pace in that race and finished second, five lengths behind Shanghai Bobby, who in his next start won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Goldencents was not nominated to the Breeders' Cup but would have gone in the Juvenile if he was, said O'Neill.
O'Neill said next-race plans are to be determined for Goldencents.
"I don't know the exact path, but we will probably look somewhere at Santa Anita after the first of the year," he said. "Maybe the Bob Lewis Stakes."
I'll Have Another won this year's Lewis in his first start of the season for O'Neill and went on to win the Kentucky Derby and Preakness.
Goldencents earned $600,000 for his Jackpot win and earned10 points on the new Kentucky Derby qualifying system that governs preference into the race if it is oversubscribed. Goldencents had previously earned 4 points in the Champagne. He races for the partnership of W.C. Racing, Dave Kenney, and Rap Racing.
Goldencents is a son of the young stallion Into Mischief, a winner of the Grade 1 CashCall Futurity.
The remaining order of finish in the Jackpot was Hightail in fourth, followed by Central Banker, Itsmyluckyday, Heaven's Runway, Know More, and Show Some Magic.
* Delta handled $4,359,362 on its 11-race card from all sources on Saturday, a dip of 1.5 percent from last year's Jackpot card when Delta set a track record handle of $4,434,099.
* The $100,000-guaranteed pick four that ran on races 4-7 returned $843.60 on a $2 bet. The winning numbers were 3-2-1-9. The pool was $259,279.
Bern Identity is one to watch. It wasn't Lopez's fault he got shuffled back. The 1 hole is no good, especially for a stalker. They will all get a bad trip.
Way to go Kevin! Keep it up.
Just hope the O'neill stank doesn't overly influence Krigger. Do what's right Krigg, not what is right for your pocketbook and the weasel Dougie O.!
Just follow the shanghai road. Even with the 22 quarter he was by far the best bet. Thought he would be 7/5 instead 5/2. Short stretch and never had to deal with the 2YO champion down his throat for 6 1/2 furlongs. colt next week at Churchill Downs should even be a better bet than this one.
Congratulations to Goldencents, Team O'Neill, and Goldencents' connection on a fabulous win in the Jackpot, and to Kevin Krigger on a fabulous win. It's wonderful to see him having this success on Goldencents. Loved Kevin's interview after the race, too. He is a refreshing presence. I applaud Doug O'Neill extending the opportunitythis year to Kevin Krigger to pilot Goldencents. Kevin's done a fine job on Goldencents, you can see the bond of trust and like forming between Kevin and Goldencents. Congratulations, again, to Goldencents and his connections on a very fine victory.
Bern was taken out of his game with Lopez up--should have been closer to pace-Didn,t Kelly Breen give the rider instructions? Afterall Lopez is no Joe Bravo.
Bern baby bern - had he been ridden right would have left goldencents in the dust and agree with russell and balock - good grief
Lopez should have stayed on the rail a little longer. It looked like a hole opened up as they were rounding the turn. Might have won him the race if he had stayed inside. Lukas's horse, Hightail, ran a decent race on only two weeks rest from winning the Breeders Cup race. He was up close to the pace the whole race and held on for fourth after the annoncer Don Stevens said he was tired. I'm sure he'll get a nice break now.
I'm so happy for Krigger! Lots of respect to the connections for staying with Kevin. Reddam replacing Gomez with Mario made no difference what so ever, LOL. Glad Garrett didn't waste his time making the trip to Delta Downs. Know more is quickly going in the opposite direction.
I think it's time to go back to square one with Know More. Winter him over, and bring him back as a three year old. Ya know, I still like this colt. I still think he could come back and win. Not to make excuses for the horse, but he did get pinched off quite a bit in the race.

Santa Fe courthouse reopening after evacuation
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Authorities say a suspicious substance found in mail sent to a judge at the Santa Fe Courthouse isn't dangerous.
Santa Fe Fire Department Assistant Chief Jan Snyder said Wednesday that preliminary [auth] testing identified the white powdery substance as sodium bicarbonate, commonly considered baking soda. Additional testing will be done at a laboratory in Albuquerque.
The courthouse was evacuated for several hours but it's reopening for business in the afternoon.
Chief Judge Raymond Ortiz said 20 people in the court clerk's office were isolated after a worker found the powder in an envelope addressed to District Judge Stephen Pfeffer.
The evacuation came two days after the fourth floor of the state Capitol was evacuated when what turned out to be a harmless substance was found in mail to Gov. Susana Martinez

Submitted to: UJNR Food & Agricultural Panel Proceedings
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 11/15/2004
Publication Date: 11/22/2004
Citation: Register, K.B. 2004. Immunogenicity of a dna vaccine derived from the pasteurella multocida toxin gene. UJNR Food & Agricultural Panel Proceedings. P. 8. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Pasteurella multocida is a widespread and costly pathogen responsible for both atrophic rhinitis and pneumonia in swine. The P. multocida toxin (PMT) is a primary virulence factor in atrophic rhinitis and a major protective immunogen. Technical difficulties and expense prevent the purification of PMT in amounts suitable for widespread use as a stand-alone vaccine or as an additive to existing vaccines. DNA vaccine technology may overcome these limitations and provide a practical solution for improving vaccine efficacy. In the present study vaccines were constructed comprising the entire PMT coding region, but containing a single point mutation demonstrated to eliminate enzymatic activity. The modified coding region was cloned into eukaryotic expression vectors VR1020 or VR1028 (Vical, Inc.); recombinants were designated either pMM4 or pMM5, respectively, and used to vaccinate mice. Groups of 15 mice each were injected in the right hind quadriceps with 50ug of either pMM4 or pMM5. Additional groups of mice injected with either VR1020 or VR1028 served as negative controls. Three weeks later mice were boosted with 50ug of DNA. A second boost was administered 4 weeks later. Five mice from each group were euthanized prior to the first and second boosts, and 4 weeks after the second boost. Blood and spleen cells were collected from all injected mice and from nonimmunized mice euthanized prior to the first injection. Pooled sera were tested by ELISA to assess the anti-PMT response. PMT-specific secretion of IFN-gamma measured with a sandwich ELISA, was used a marker for cellular immune responses. A single injection of pMM4, but not pMM5, elicited a detectable antibody response in mice. Antibody responses increased significantly after additional booster injections with pMM4, but not with pMM5. Endpoint titers have yet to be determined, but are all >103. Cell-mediated responses are currently being evaluated. These results suggest that DNA vaccine technology may be a feasible approach for improving the efficacy of vaccines for atrophic rhinitis in swine.

E.J. Dionne Jr. needs a 'brain' enema.
Perhaps if reduced the 'pressure' in his skull, he could think more clearly.
What he really should do is go for a walk in D.C. at night...alone...and see the true results of gun laws.
This is a discussion on Washington Post Editorial: "Arm the Senate" within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; washingtonpost.com By E.J. Dionne Jr. Monday, July 27, 2009 Isn't it time to dismantle the metal detectors, send the guards at the doors away and ...
By E.J. Dionne Jr.
Monday, July 27, 2009
Isn't it time to dismantle the metal detectors, send the guards at the doors away and allow Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights by being free to carry their firearms into the nation's Capitol?
I've been studying the deep thoughts of senators who regularly express their undying loyalty to the National Rifle Association, and I have decided that they should practice what they preach. They tell us that the best defense against crime is an armed citizenry and that laws restricting guns do nothing to stop violence.
If they believe that, why don't they live by it?
Why would freedom-loving lawmakers want to hide behind guards and metal detectors? Shouldn't NRA members be outraged that Second Amendment rights mean nothing in the very seat of our democracy?
Congress seems to think that gun restrictions are for wimps. It voted this year to allow people to bring their weapons into national parks, and pro-gun legislators have pushed for the right to carry in taverns, colleges and workplaces. Shouldn't Congress set an example in its own workplace?
So why not let Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) pack the weapon of his choice on the Senate floor? Thune is the author of an amendment that would have allowed gun owners who had valid permits to carry concealed weapons into any state, even states with more restrictive gun laws. The amendment got 58 votes last week, two short of the 60 it needed to pass.
Judging by what Thune said in defense of his amendment, he'd clearly feel safer if everyone in the Capitol could carry a gun.
"Law-abiding individuals have the right to self-defense, especially because the Supreme Court has consistently found that police have no constitutional obligation to protect individuals from other individuals," he said. I guess that Thune doesn't think those guards and the Capitol Police have any obligation to protect him.
He went on: "The benefits of conceal and carry extend to more than just the individuals who actually carry the firearms. Since criminals are unable to tell who is and who is not carrying a firearm just by looking at a potential victim, they are less likely to commit a crime when they fear they may come in direct contact with an individual who is armed."
In other words, keeping guns out of the Capitol makes all our elected officials far less safe. If just a few senators had weapons, the criminals wouldn't know which ones were armed, and all senators would be safer, right? Isn't that better than highly intrusive gun control -- i.e., keeping people with guns out of the Capitol in the first place?
"Additionally," Thune said helpfully, "research shows that when unrestricted conceal and carry laws are passed, not only does it benefit those who are armed, but it also benefits others around them such as children."
This is a fantastic opportunity. Arming all our legislators would make it safer for children, so senators could feel much more secure bringing their kids into the Capitol. This would promote family values and might even reduce the number of highly publicized extramarital affairs.
During the debate, Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) quoted a constituent who told him: "When my family and I go out at night, it makes me feel safer just knowing I am able to have my concealed weapon."
Why shouldn't Vitter feel equally safe in the Capitol? Why should he have to go out on the streets to carry a gun?
The pro-gun folks love their studies. Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) offered this one: "A study for the Department of Justice found 40 percent of felons had not committed certain crimes because they feared the potential victims would be armed."
That doesn't tell us much about the other 60 percent, but what the heck? If it's good enough for Barrasso, let the good senator introduce the amendment to allow concealed carry in the Capitol.
Barrasso already dislikes the District of Columbia's tough restrictions on weapons. "The gun laws in the District outlaw law-abiding citizens from self-defense," he complained. So go for it, Senator! Make our nation's Capitol an island of firearms liberty in a sea of oppression.
Don't think this column is offered lightly. I want these guys to put up or shut up. If the NRA's servants in Congress don't take their arguments seriously enough to apply them to their own lives, maybe the rest of us should do more to stop them from imposing their nonsense on our country.

Sure, why not allow carry there? Unless someone thinks that our elected officials are not trustworthy enough....... Hmmmmm..... Maybe they shouldn't.
Infowars- Proving David Hannum right on a daily basis
There's a big difference between restricting my right to carry in a small area that has professional armed security and reasonable access control and a large unsecured area such as a major city.
For my purposes, if there are metal detectors, limited entrances, and visible armed security (think airport), I don't feel my being armed significantly enhances my personal security.
"and suddenly I can not hold back my sword hand's anger"
I agree. I would tell the guy to go live over "across the bridge" and he will learn all about gun control first hand...
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined". - Patrick Henry
Do Senators and Representatives have to pass through the metal detectors now? I thought the incident with Rep. Cynthia McKinney was about her not having her badge on that would allow her to by pass security. Of course E.J. -Don't Confues Me With Facts- Dionne Jr. is above getting the story right.
For those who understand, no explanation is necessary.
For those who don't understand, no explanation is possible.
The thought of Nancy Pelosi CCing makes me a little nervous!
I love the poster I've seen that said the President travels with XX number of individuals carrying XX number of weapons to protect him...who's protecting you?

Pelosi needs that big airplane to haul around her armed guards. I doubt she walks around without some sort of protection. Take away her security and she would change her tune.
"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution, which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." -1792, James Madison
There are always too many Democratic, Republican and never enough U.S. congressmen.
In Washington State, carry on the capitol campus is legal, including in the chambers of the Senate and House of Representatives. We have had citizens testify on 2A legislation while open-carrying a loaded handgun. I've never seen any reliable report that any of the legislators are carrying concealed, but I expect there are some firearms being carried on the floor.
If in Washington, why not Washington?

I gotta say I like the column... I realize it's intended to be an anti gun statement. However I like the stlye. I would love to see firearms carried there.
Based on this:hopefully it's not far out.In Washington State, carry on the capitol campus is legal, including in the chambers of the Senate and House of Representatives.

Hip-Hop History
The glass ceiling in hip-hop remains to be broken.
Back in the day, artists such as Queen Latifah and MC Lyte rocked the mike as hip-hop spread from the underground to the mainstream, and Denverite Day Acoli grew up with the music as other artists like Lauryn Hill represented for the ladies.
But for the most part, women are still objectified in the music. For Acoli, what's worse is the tendency of women to objectify themselves in hip-hop. Acoli believes it's a constant struggle for female artists to respectfully portray their femininity and sexuality, which is why she's hosting a Women in Hip-Hop community discussion that will feature a film on female rhymers along with live music, art, dance and spoken-word performances, all followed by a discussion.
"The discussion is going to be geared toward how we prepare our little girls for careers in hip-hop," Acoli says. "You tell her that she's a queen and not to falter, no matter what. She doesn't have to sell her sexuality. She doesn't have to get real masculine. She's divine, and she doesn't have to sacrifice that. Independence will carry her."
Show your support tonight at 6 p.m. at the Brooks Art Center, 1400 Williams Street. A $5 donation is suggested; proceeds will benefit a community cooperative. Visit myspace.com/dayacoli for information.

Special investigation into Qatar
A Guardian investigation has found that migrant workers building stadiums for Qatar's World Cup in 2022 are being paid as little as 45p an hour and working for up to 30 days a month. Workers told the Guardian that as well as enduring appalling living conditions, they face pressure from home to send money back and disbelief at the conditions they experience.
In response, football's world governing body, Fifa, has promised to monitor Qatar's treatment of workers after the government said it would reform conditions.

What you said: this week's top reader comment
In Jessica Evans's blog on the new Brics bank, InDevelopment commented:
The only thing that the Brics countries share in common is a desire to step up and that has to be a good thing. Their financial commitment is also a good thing. The capitalisation is impressive. It could be a breath of fresh air and provide real alternatives. But I do wonder about how they will overcome their wide differences in political aims to allow the bank to be effective. Maybe that is part of "stepping up". There are certainly examples of "not how to do it" in Africa, which is littered with failed or failing development banks, including multinational banks.

Baz kills off deathly rumours about Hugh
Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman in Baz Luhrmann's epic Australia.
Photo: Reuters/Fox Studios
Claims that the final scenes of Australia were re-shot to spare Hugh Jackman's character from a tragic death have been vigorously denied by the film's director, Baz Luhrmann.
"Are you kidding?" said Luhrmann when asked to comment on rumours that 20th Century Fox had forced him to change the ending. "It's really simple: on a Baz Luhrmann film, I decide."
The director said a story suggesting that he had been instructed to resurrect Jackman's character, The Drover, after the studio backing the film was spooked by negative test screenings was "naive" and " profoundly misinformed".
"You're talking about a studio [20th Century Fox] that has the highest-grossing film of all time [in which] the guy dies at the end," he said. "It's called Titanic.
"Do you think they came to me and said 'whatever you do, please don't have an ending like Titanic? That'll never make any money? To be honest, it's rubbish."
Luhrmann was speaking from New York where he attended a tribute dinner in his honour at the Museum of Modern Art. He flies to Sydney today where he will spend about seven hours in a mixing suite completing Australia.
The film will have its world premiere in Sydney on November 18 and goes on general release on November 26.
Luhrmann said he shot three endings, screening two of them for test audiences - one happy, the other featuring The Drover's tragic death. While both recorded almost identical test results, he had already decided on a third ending three months ago.
"There was always a struggle within me," he said. "There's the way Titanic ends and there's the way Gone With The Wind ends.
"It's neither of those. It's an ending specific to this moment and it's what I want the film to give out and what I need in my own life. It's what I want to feel. On that level, it's completely personal."
Luhrmann said he also dictated the length of the film, which he estimates at about 2½ hours.
"I think the credits run for an hour and 20 minutes," he joked. "That's because everyone in Australia is in the movie."
Luhrmann conceded the budget had run significantly above $US100 million ($148 million), but had been cushioned by the federal government's 40 per cent rebate on film production. "It's been an epic experience and life-changing and very, very testing." he said.

CafeMom Veteran
Lets see, Im a mother of two beautiful little girls ages 1 month and 7, Stephanie Rose and Lillianne Jeannette, and one angel baby, my beautiful baby boy, Sergio Wayne.
I would probably consider myself agnostic, because Im not really denying that there is a god, I just dont know so Im not going to worry about it till Im dead.
I LOVE frogs.
I have a cat named Salem, a dog named Olivia, a female guinea pig named Miss Coco, a male guinea pig named Whip cream, and an iguana named Phoenix.
I love my husband. We were married when I was 19 at the city hall because we couldnt really afford a big to do. Our reception was at a little restaurant called the moose cabin(its like cracker barrel except there was a bar lol).
I got pregnant my senior year in high school, and got married when our daughter was six months old. We are still happily married and living in Indiana. I would never want to live anywhere else, its beautiful here living on my grandfathers old farm surrounded by corn Fields.
Umm...I play video games. My favorites are the bioshock and resident evil series, but I still play things like gta5 and gears of war.
I tried going vegan once for ethical reasons but I guess I love the taste of meat too much. I seriously have the mindset of a vegan who wants to save every animal and never wants to see anything suffer(I dont even kill spiders), but I grew up loving my steak and catfish. I did want to point out that my health did improve when I was vegan. I lost weight, and felt wonderful, but I guess my cravings got the best of me. I guess I would rather be fat and happy than skinny and miserable...lol
Oh, and as you can see from my attempted background change, I LOVE the walking dead!

The Vancouver Canadians pitchers struggled, walking eleven batters and spotting Hillsboro eleven base runners en route to a 6-3 defeat at Nat Bailey Stadium, snapping Vancouver's streak of four consecutive series wins.
Starter Jairo Labourt allowed four runs over four innings of work to suffer his third loss of the season.
The C's managed to make a game of it by coming within a run through six innings but another pair of Hops runs in the seventh inning sealed the deal.
The Canadians get back to work tomorrow night with the Hops in another sold-out Fireworks Extravaganza just after 7.

I just installed dsIDXpress and placed it in the Property Search widget at the top of my home page. http://www.propertyonesandiego.com. IDX changed the height of that box. How/where can I over-ride this change so the height is the same as the slider?

Hi Nancy,
Haha... I don't mean to sound silly but much simpler to change the size of the slider! 🙂
Changing the size of the Property Search widget looks to be a little more complicated than just a couple css changes, depending on what you're looking for. You can change the font, margins &/or padding in the css to start. Another person may have different advice.
Pretty site, Good Luck!

Thanks for the input; changing the slider size will be my plan B. Ideally, I'd like the Property Search box smaller. (And, I'm a web newbie, so no suggestion to me is silly 🙂 - all is appreciated!April 30, 2013 at 12:27 pm #38605
Okay, I've learned this from Diverse Solutions: You would indeed need to modify the CSS of the Theme to get it to appear properly and function properly on your end. You'd essentially just need to modify it to get around the changes that were made with our Plugin, but once this is done then everything should work normally after that.
Can anyone point me in the right direction in my Editor where I need to make these changes?
Thanks!May 1, 2013 at 2:18 am #38707
The Property Search Widget of dsIDXPress is a PITA.
Look at: http://lagunaagent.com/, to make it look like that I:
1) reworked the plugin widget code cause it has several in it.
2) reworked the .css as you could see in the style.css
Feel free to take some inspiration.
May 7, 2013 at 6:17 pm #39799
For anyone who was interested, I created a temp solution by setting the max height of the Search box to 240. Then made set overflow to auto which adds a scroll button. I'm still hunting for a better solution, but this is the best so far.May 8, 2013 at 5:44 am #39848
Fantastic, glad you resolved the issue & thanks for the update Property One!

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
The latest example of Obama-era military badass-ery transpired last night around the time that you were probably asleep or detoxing from the president's third State of the Union address: Just moments before President Obama took the podium, a team of more than two dozen US Navy SEALs rescued two hostages from a group of Somali pirates. By the end of the raid, nine Somalis were dead, three were detained, and the two kidnapped aid workers—32-year-old American Jessica Buchanan and 60-year-old Dane Poul Hagen Thisted—were safely extracted from the camp in northern Somalia where they were being held. The pair had been held hostage since October.
Here are a few things you should know about the mission:
1. The Somali pirates may have been stoned and sleeping: The outcome of the raid might have been a little different if the kidnappers had just said no. A pirate named Bile Hussein told the AP over the phone that the SEAL team caught the camp guards after they had passed out from chewing qat, a narcotic leaf popular in much of the Middle East and East Africa for its euphoric qualities. (Hussein said he was "not present at the site but had spoken with other pirates who were.")
2. There's no evidence yet that the kidnappers were affiliated with terror groups: Pentagon officials are referring to the kidnappers as "criminal suspects," and say that there is no evidence to suggest that the perpetrators were working with al-Shabaab, a notorious Al Qaeda affiliate in Somalia, or any other international terrorist organization. The kidnapping was likely motivated by a desire to exchange the hostages for a ransom.
3. Leon Panetta gets a very public thumbs up: While breezing through the customary hand-shaking that precedes any State of the Union, President Obama took a couple seconds to tell his defense secretary "Good job tonight. Good job tonight," referring to the just-concluded rescue operation. Here's footage of the brief congrats, courtesy of TPM:
The president had signed off on the mission on Monday night, having received regular updates on Buchanan's condition since the day after her abduction, according to Politico. A few minutes after leaving the House chamber, the president spoke on the phone with Buchanan's father to inform him that his daughter was safe.
4. Yep, it was the same team—but not the same personnel—that took out Bin Laden: US officials confirmed that the mission was led by members drawn from the same group of Navy SEALs responsible for the killing of Osama bin Laden (they were not, however, the same personnel as those involved in the Bin Laden mission). The counterterrorism and special mission unit is commonly—and erroneously—called "SEAL Team 6." The official name of the team is the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group, also known as DEVGRU.
In the final paragraphs of his SOTU address, Obama specifically name-dropped the elite team as a shining example of nonpartisan cooperation:
One of my proudest possessions is the flag that the SEAL Team took with them on the mission to get bin Laden. On it are each of their names. Some may be Democrats. Some may be Republicans. But that doesn't matter. Just like it didn't matter that day in the Situation Room, when I sat next to Bob Gates, a man who was George Bush's defense secretary, and Hillary Clinton, a woman who ran against me for president.
All that mattered that day was the mission. No one thought about politics. No one thought about themselves. One of the young men involved in the raid later told me that he didn't deserve credit for the mission. It only succeeded, he said, because every single member of that unit did their job—the pilot who landed the helicopter that spun out of control, the translator who kept others from entering the compound, the troops who separated the women and children from the fight, the SEALs who charged up the stairs. More than that, the mission only succeeded because every member of that unit trusted each other—because you can't charge up those stairs, into darkness and danger, unless you know that there's someone behind you, watching your back.
Also, Spencer Ackerman at Wired reports that the Pentagon claims that this was a "joint" operation, "meaning elite forces from the other services—most likely including Air Force air controllers and members of the Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment"—were also involved.
5. The mission was likely launched out of a base in Djibouti: The AP reports that a "Western official said the rescuers and the freed hostages flew by helicopter to a U.S. military base called Camp Lemonnier in the Horn of Africa nation of Djibouti." (Click here to see a photo of then Sen. Barack Obama visiting Camp Lemonnier in 2006.)
Djibouti is a crucial ally in the Obama administration's shadow war in the region. The country hosts the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, currently the only operational US military base in sub-Saharan Africa, and has been reported to be the home to aircraft used for secret wars in Yemen and Somalia. (A similar base is under construction in Ethiopia.)
6. Ordinary Somalis and aid groups have been at this for a while, too: The Washington Post reports that in December "aid groups and Somali citizens staged a large demonstration in Somalia demanding the release of Buchanan and Thisted, the [Danish] Refugee Council said. 'Paul and Jessica are in Somalia to assist and support people in need. They have been accepted in Somalia as guests, but now they are kidnapped by criminals. We want them released,' a banner held by the demonstrators said." Numerous other demonstrations calling for the aid workers' release were held in central Somalia in the weeks prior to their rescue.
7. This isn't President Obama's first high-profile run-in with Somali pirates: Remember the rescue operation involving an American cargo ship that went down shortly after Obama stepped into office? Here's a video news report to jog your memory:
The successful mission was Obama administration's first real show of force backing up the president's pledge to help stem the intensifying problem of piracy off the Somali coast. (And, yes, "SEAL Team 6" was also involved in this one, according to senior counterterrorism officials.)
8. Special operations have been on the rise under President Obama: Despite what the Republicans presidential candidates tell you, special operations forces have seen quite the spike in personnel and budget in the years since Obama took office; the raid in Somalia is just the most recent well-publicized example.
PolitiFact lays out the buildup in US special ops:
The numbers of personnel authorized for [the United States Special Operations Command] have increased from 55,890 in fiscal year 2009 to 63,779 for fiscal year 2012, according to the Pentagon. Meanwhile, the budget has increased from $8.9 billion to $10.5 billion over the same period.
"If you look at the most recent budget request, it shows that the special operations budget is projected to continue increasing through fiscal year 2016," said Todd Harrison, a fellow with the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. "It dips a bit in fiscal 2011 due to the war funding beginning to come down, but it is projected to continue growing even without war funding in future years."

SCOTTISH Rugby bosses are set to seek talks with Hibs about the possibility of re-locating Edinburgh Rugby to Easter Road.
And oval ball insiders were today insisting the Gunners could be the latest in a long line of rugby outfit's taking advantage of football's superior facilities as early as next season.
Colin McNeill, Hibs' commercial manager, today stopped well short of hinting at a done deal but admitted: "There may be a meeting scheduled between Hibernian and the SRU in the not too distant future."
McNeill was adamant that major concerns exist such as the quality of the playing surface being adversely affected for the passing style of play favoured by manager Tony Mowbray's side.
Mr McNeill added: "Our only concern does remain the same, that the pitch would not be up to hosting our SPL fixtures as well as reserve team and other matches, but it is a fundamental one."
However, rugby sources were more bullish that rental fees would eventually talk.
One source claimed that a decision had already been made for the Gunners to quit their home for the past two seasons at Murrayfield where the capacity of 67,800 overwhelms attendances of between 2000-3000.
Many feel the relative lack of atmosphere is turning fans away.
"Gunners will be out of Murrayfield soon and already a list of alternative club rugby venues has been drawn up for an inspection - namely Goldenacre, Inverleith, Myreside and Meggetland.
"That could purely be a courtesy step, though, because none of these club rugby grounds seem suitable for a variety of reasons. Certainly the indications are that Easter Road tops the list of preferred options," said the club source.
Edinburgh, then known as Reivers and an amalgam with the Borders, last played at Easter Road in 1998-99 when crowds of 2000 and 3000, respectively, were attracted to European Cup fixtures with Ebbw Vale and Toulouse.
Ironically, when Edinburgh faced a crunch qualifier against Ulster that season the match was switched back to Myreside since it was felt a more compact club rugby ground would enhance the team's chances of progressing in a match they eventually lost.
Scottish Rugby officials were today unavailable for comment.

I wish PETA would just stay out of it. How can a inflammortory drug cause her to break her front ankles, it can't and peta is out of there mind to request action on a drug that a trainer gave to a horse to HELP it not HURT it. I hate peta.

Peta needs to learn what is their business and what isn't. They always have their nose where it doesn't belong. It's high time people start to fight back against them and give them something to do other then point their fingers!

Renee you have a good point. PETA affects us all-meat eaters, medical patients, hunters/fisherman, pet owners, animal enterprises, ect. WE SO OUTNUMBER THESE RADICAL ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS. If only a few of us took two minutes a week to learn or tell someone else we could wipe them off of the face of the planet.
Everyone else ends up the victim of PETA, cowering and trying to defend themself against this army of fanatics. We need to take an offensive position and GO AFTER PETA. PETA should be made the laughingstock of American society.
There is a boatload of information on them that would make most people shake their heads in disbelief.

PETA should mind their own business and stop this insanity. The trainer did nothing wrong and doesn't deserve this kind of ridicule from this group.
#8 Jun 4, 2008
This is from the PETA- Cult of Misinformation thread, it has some good information on it.
New to the forum? Please educate yourself about PETA. They hide behind their mantra of "Be Kind To Animals". What they are really about is Total Animal Liberation. Their Holy Grail is that animals have their own rights. To do this they must first deprive the citizens of the most wonderful and free country in the world of this- their property rights over their own animals. To liberate all animals PETA will wage a war against humanity itself.
PETA brags that it will do "Anything It Takes" to bring about Total Animal Liberation. They advocate using misinformation, bullying/harassment, media manipulation, "preaching" to young children, buying up stock in meat/food enterprises, killing thousands of animals rather them having them "enslaved as pets", junk science, ect. Oh yeah, they also fund known animal rights terrorist groups. PETA's cult leader Ingrid Newkirk loathes her own existence, saying "I wish I wasn't here, I wish there was a void where I am". She loathes your existence too, saying "Humans are like a cancer upon the Earth" and "The world would be a better place without people on it." And still this group finds PEOPLE, whom they LOATHE, to join in and spread their message that is destructive to humanity. These are not the kind of people to consult with or be enlisted to "help" with any animal enterprise. These are the people who we should teach our children about and by doing so guarantee freedom of animal ownership for the generations to come.
Educate yourselves and those you care about now (please and thank you!)-

People shouldn't rail about things they know little or nothing about.
Every horse who enters a track is risking its life each time it races. There is so much money on the line that decisions are seldom made in the long-term best interest of the horse.
Whether or not an anti-inflammatory drug "caused" Eight Belles to break down, using such "aids" prior to a race is unsound practice, because pain-killers will mask symptoms that would reveal an impending problem that would cause the horse to fail its soundness exam prior to that race.
Manipulations of all kinds are used throughout the racing industry and thousands of horses are sacrificed annually to the sport. There is a real need for reform in this business, but the public is largely unaware of its dark side, preferring to cheer on the winners, without any consideration beyond the very exciting 2 minutes of the race.
The Horse Racing Industry is no less scandalous than dog-fighting. It's just got better marketing.

Trainer admits injecting 8 Belles w/Phenylbutazone 27hrs. Before Race
Criminal Charges Should Be Brought for Pushing Filly Beyond the Breaking Point, Group Says
For Immediate Release:
June 4, 2008
Jeff Kerr
Louisville, Ky.- Following the admission by Eight Belles' trainer that the filly was given a powerful anti-inflammatory drug just hours before her catastrophic breakdown at the end of the Kentucky Derby, PETA's general counsel will hand-deliver a letter to R. David Stengel, the Commonwealth's Attorney for Jefferson County, and hold a press conference tomorrow outside Stengel's office. In the face of continued silence from Kentucky law enforcement, PETA is demanding action regarding the filly's fatal injuries. The group's actions come just two days before the last race of the Triple Crown.
Date: Thursday, June 5
Time: 11 a.m.
Place: Commonwealth's Attorney's office, 514 W. Liberty St., Louisville
Eight Belles' trainer, Larry Jones, has admitted injecting the horse with Phenylbutazone--a powerful anti-inflammatory drug--just 27 hours before the Kentucky Derby, but no investigation has been undertaken to determine if Eight Belles' handlers knowingly jeopardized her safety. PETA is also asking Stengel to file criminal charges under Kentucky's cruelty-to-animals statute, which prohibits "cruel or injurious mistreatment" of animals.
"Money ruled the day when Eight Belles was given a performance-enhancing drug to push her beyond her natural limits," says PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk. "The public has woken up to the fact that breakdowns are not 'freak accidents.' They are caused by taking deliberate risks with horses' health and lives. Charges need to be brought in the case of Eight Belles because of the pain and suffering caused by her horrific injuries."
For more information, please visit PETA.org .
PETA's letter to the Jefferson County Commonwealth's Attorney is available upon request.

Murmurations, Backyard Bombs & Neo-Nazi Numbers
Things learned on the web recently:
LEARNED: What a murmuration is.
WHERE: From the video above (found here, if you wish to embed it yourself). Yesterday, while driving across a bridge in Hampshire County, W.Va., I spotted my own, smaller murmuration pirouetting above the hills. I just learned this word from the enchanting video above, which I posted to my Facebook feed some days ago. But not all of you are my Facebook comrades, you see. But even if you've seen it once, it's worth seeing again, especially when you're once again knocked back on your heels by the latest headline of human scurviness or lying political malfeasance (talking about you, Ricky, Herm and Newton).
Witnessing a murmuration is a reminder there are mysteries afoot in creation. Plus, I love to hear the gasp of wonder, the sharp intake of awe, from the woman holding the videocamera as this united breath of birds goes whispering overhead while they paddle.
Discussing the small murmuration I saw wheeling across the West Virginia skies yesterday, my passenger friend and I observed that seeing such a thing — thousands of individual beings moving in an aerial ballet — was like seeing Nature thinking. Or perhaps a manifestation of Mother Nature's atomic-level being. Dibs on the band name Murmuration. But I'll bet it's already taken.
LEARNED: There are no nuclear bombs in my backyard. Or nuclear missiles in West Virginia. So they say. That's at least according to the map at the link below. Plus, a definition for the word "zombie" that's more unpleasant than the flesh-chomping sort.
WHERE: In a 11.09.2011 post, "The Nuclear Bombs in Your Backyard," Mother Jones published a searchable map detailing all known nuclear missile sites, plus nuclear power plants, in America. West Virginia shows none, although given the Greenbrier Resort's history as a Cold War, post-nuclear, subterranean Congress, one has to wonder what other secrets lie out there in the Appalachian hills. (I have a friend who swears he know a guy who has a friend who alleges he spotted Dick Cheney in the woods near the Greenbrier quite soon after 9-11).
Probably the more eye-opening — and chilling, given American's tumultuous, hateful politics — info from the story is this:
"The United States currently has 5,113 atomic warheads deployed in silos, bombers, and submarines, mostly in the continental US. That doesn't include thousands of "zombies" being kept in reserve and a backlog of more than 3,000 warheads awaiting dismantlement."
LEARNED: Neo-Nazis use the number 88 as code for an abbreviation of the phrase 'Heil Hitler' (H being the eighth letter of the alphabet)."
WHERE: From this 11.26.2011 Der Spiegel article. While the American media is transfixed with the Jerry Sandusky/Penn State child sex abuse scandal, the discovery of a murderous Neo-Nazi cell in Zwickhau has the German press in full-bore media coverage, at least, judging from Der Speigel's online English edition. Investigators found a list kept by the Neo-Nazi cell that includes names and addresses of 88 people, including at least two politicians who are members of the German federal parliament, the Bundestag, and representatives of Turkish and Muslim organizations.
WEB COMMENT of the WEEK (from a comment on Kevin Drum's Mother Jones blog):
"The genius of right-wing populism is to take ignorance and make it an emblem of American authenticity. People like Cain and Palin excite the base not because they're really telling them anything they don't know but because they tell it in a way that mocks the seriousness of politics itself. It's all bullshit! And they don't lie about it! Now, what channel is that football game on? "

What was your reaction when you first saw that the Giants allowed 299 rushing
I started to watch the game about the second quarter and the television people kept reviewing the number of runs that they had tried. I thought was an interesting way for Andy (Reid) to go.
How much do you think the Giants defense misses Keith Hamilton and what kind
of run defense is it without him?
Well, obviously, any player of that magnitude you are going to miss, no matter who it is. Keep in mind that the Giants are still ranked very high on defense and are playing very well. Even with it, the average per game goes to 115 yards per game against the rush which is still a very number in the league. They are tough. They are tough to run on. They miss Keith Hamilton, but that is an outstanding front seven and with Shaun Williams dropping down, it is an excellent, physical eight-man front.
What do you think of the Giants situation where Fassel may take over some of
the play calling?
I don't know anything about that. They have had success over the years and they got to the big game. They know exactly what they are doing. They don't need me to comment on that.
When you look at the Giants offense not scoring points, does that make it
easier for your defense to look at?
It's difficult because you know the quality of the players and you also know from experience what it is they are trying to do. We were up there in 2000 and they were very effective on offense. We know the quality of the players and are in a position where we are studying everything that they have done. I don't think any less of them because of the situation that they are in.
Speaking of that game a couple of years ago, did you tell Fred Taylor to keep
his mouth closed this week?
I think he learned a pretty good lesson, not only from that one, but from others.

The analysis of U.S. Census data attempts to defy traditional stereotypes that point to the uninsured as people who are unwilling to work, but also bolsters previous reports that expansion of
Sixty-six percent of the approximately 140,000 uninsured Utahns have held down a job in the last year, according to the report. An additional 18 percent are students, nonworking spouses or are people with disabilities, and the remaining 16 percent are unemployed.
The report "looks more closely at who stands to gain coverage if the state elects to close the coverage gap, and the role those people play in the state's economy," said
The workers identified in the report, she said, are in "occupations that residents rely on," including food service, sales, administrative support, construction, production, transportation, personal care and management.
"These are working Utahns who hold jobs that are a critical part of the state's economy," Klein said. "Access to health insurance means a healthier, more productive work force, and that's good for businesses, too."
"His proposal strengthens the employer-sponsored insurance market," said
However, the
FamiliesUSA's report, released Wednesday, alleviates a misconception about who falls into the coverage gap in
"These are people trying their best, doing what they can with the situations they are in, working without access to employer- sponsored insurance," she said. "A lot of people think if you've got a job, you've got insurance, and that is simply not the case."
"I've always used the excuse that I can't afford to see a doctor," Trujillo said, adding that his emergency medical bills have been sent to debt collectors in the past. He said having access to insurance would not only help him physically, but also would relieve stress, "because I'm not sure what is going to happen to me, whether I get in an accident or get sick."
He doesn't make enough to buy his own insurance and, without children, doesn't qualify for
Trujillo's story, Klein said, "exemplifies what is at stake for many Utahns."
To qualify for
Others, also poor, can qualify for coverage through other programs, but most adults without children are not eligible for state help with health insurance, no matter how poor, said Klein.
"It's implicit, if you've got a healthy work force, they're more productive and reliable," Curtis said.

Equipping our nation's 21st century workforce
Now is a time of great interest in career and technical education. The United States has profound interests at stake in the health of our 21st century workforce. All educators, regardless of institution type, have received a common mandate to provide their students, no matter their economic status, with the education and skills to compete not only with workers from around the U.S., but from across the globe. So, where do we go from here?
Twenty-five years ago, the Imagine America Foundation was established as the lead scholarship, faculty development and research provider of our nation's career colleges and their students. The Foundation, through its newly created 21st Century Workforce Fund, is helping to build a consensus around a research-based framework for addressing the needs and tools available in educating America's workforce. Through this new initiative, we have engaged organizations and individuals across the nation in partnering in this critical work for our common future. The Foundation's supporters have taken this responsibility with a deep and abiding belief in the necessity and benefits of career and technical skills in equipping our nation's workers.
The future of our nation's 21st century workforce begins with the contributions made today. We are extremely thankful to all who have pledged and contributed their generous support to the 21st Century Workforce Fund. We gratefully acknowledge the support, vision and passion of these individuals and organizations for career education and its students.

Lovely product line
By Ginger Peaches
from Don Mills, Ontario
I quite like these Eau De Parfum. In particular I like Violette Orange Blossom and I LOVE Terra Cotta. These products can be had at a very reasonable price and can be used quite liberally. I find the scents are delicate and not overpowering and I keep a bottle of EDP close at hand to 'refresh' myself every now and then. I especially like to liberally lay the scent on my person just prior to going to bed. Sweet slumber in a garden - aaaahhhhh. Thanks Royal Apothic.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Cutting Garden - lovely
By SuzyQ
from Montreal
I don't usually wear perfume but was looking for something light. I purchased Cutting Garden based on the description and it's beautiful - very light and refreshing. Great purchase.I recommend it if you don't like strong scents.I purchased as a duo Holland Park and Terra Firma. Holland Park is another winner, Terra Firma is too strong, woodsy and overpowering.Given you have to go on a description because you cannot smell the perfumes, I'm very pleased with this line ... not bad 2 out of 3 scents are winners.

At Last, I found It!
By ROSE
from North York, ON
I have developed an allergy to perfume for years now, but wanting to wear scent once in a while, so I kept trying different brands, but to no success at all. Having read reviews for Apothic, I thought I should order a couple. I tried HOLLAND PARK - at last, I found it - my perfume! Have been wearing it for 3 weeks now and no reaction from it at all; so exciting. I guess it is because of the mildness of the scent - so refreshing.I will now try CUTTING GARDEN. Thanks, APOTHIC!
Absolutely DEEEE-LISH!!!!

All I can say is WOW!!!! The first time I smelled the Cutting Garden I fell in love. This feels like my new signature scent. I don't ever want to be without it!! Well done on a great fragrance. I can't wait to try the hand cream and the other fragrances. Thank You Royal Apothic!!
Smells great!!!!!

By Niagara Girl
from NIAGARA FALLS
I'm a real fragrance-aholic (is there such a word??) and have so many but wanted to try the NEW fragrance CITY OF ANGELS. Eeewwww, this is NOT nice. Gave me an immediate headache. I guess I just prefer a more subtle, soft feminine fragrance and there was just something in this one that's too strong and pungent for me. However, I LOVE HOLLAND PARK!!! So light and perfect for daytime. Lemoncello....not feminine, not masculine...I guess just not for me. Sending two of them back.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not so Nice
By Bee
from Hamilton
I ordered the small size of Holland Park and had to send it back, I find it a very harsh chemically smell with strange unidentifiable under smells that is just unpleasant. Made me sneeze and I am not allergic to perfume! Sent it back.

A California web-filtering company says it is the victim of "one of the largest cases of software piracy in history."
Lawyers for adult- and violent-content web-filtering company Cybersitter claim in a federal lawsuit that the Chinese government purloined some 3,000 lines of its code from its servers as part of software for a national censorship project –- in which several international computer makers are accused of knowingly distributing throughout China.
"They are heavy allegations. Three thousand lines of code, approximately, were stolen. It was a serious thing that was done," Elliot Gipson, a lawyer for Santa Barbara-based Cybersitter, said in a telephone interview Thursday.
Gipson said about 56 million copies of China's government censorship software, part of the so-called Green Dam project, were marketed with his client's code in China last year.
The complaint, which seeks $2.2 billion in damages, (.pdf) names Sony, Lenovo Group, Toshiba, ACER and, among others, ASUSTeK.
University of Michigan researchers in June discovered the pilfered code while studying the Green Dam Youth Escort software. That Chinese software, in addition to blocking violent and adult content, throttled political and religious websites.
The Chinese government in July backed off on requiring the filtering software installed on all computers and instead mandated it for schools and internet cafes.
The allegations include economic espionage, unfair competition and copyright infringement. The complaint asserts that the companies and the Chinese government "conspired together to steal" Cybersitter's code.
What's more, the suit claims there have been several thousand attempts to hack into Cybersitter's servers, including one allegedly originating from within the Chinese government's Ministry of Health. Trojan e-mail originating from China are also being investigated to determine "what information may have been compromised," according to Tuesday's suit in Los Angeles federal court.
"It's a very important case. It will let us know whether small American companies can get justice in the United States," Gipson said.
Gipson said he had "some contacts" with U.S. authorities in June, when the Michigan researchers reported their findings.
He said he was "not aware if there is an investigation or not."
Justice Department officials did not immediately respond for comment.

The Chevrolet PPV Sedan gets its power from the company's 3.6-liter V6 engine and lays it to the pavement by the miracle of good, old-fashioned rear-wheel drive. While Ford claims that the company's forced-induction V6 garners better fuel economy with equivalent performance, it will be hard for most law enforcement agencies to brush past the PPV's taller top end and shorter stopping distance. Hit the jump for the press release.
Caprice PPV posts best-in-class top speed and best-in-class braking for second consecutive year
Impala PPV posts best-in-class top speed among all V-6 entrants at 150 mph
Tahoe PPV has segment-leading top speed and reduces stopping distance seven feet
GRATTAN, Mich. – Chevrolet has three good reasons for scofflaws to behave on the roads. Led by the 2012 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV), the brand's 2012 police lineup beat the competition at the recent Michigan State Police testing in Chelsea and Grattan, Mich.
"The results speak for themselves and prove why they're the best choice for law enforcement duty today," said Dana Hammer, manager, Law Enforcement Vehicles.
The Caprice PPV 6.0L V8 was best-in-class in the 60-0 mph braking test for the second straight year, with a 125.8 ft. stopping distance. That was four feet less than the Ford Police Interceptor Taurus AWD turbo.
"When we set out to develop the Caprice PPV, we received critical input from police officers around the nation and they told us they wanted a serious rear-drive performance cruiser," said James Soo, lead development engineer of the Caprice PPV. "The Caprice has been designed solely for the police officer who depends on performance and technology to get the job done."
Caprice also posted a best-in-class top speed for the second consecutive year increasing 6 mph to 154 mph compared to 148 mph for the Ford Police Interceptor Taurus AWD turbo.
"In terms of braking, an average deceleration rate of 30.77 feet per second is unprecedented for police cruisers, so we're quite pleased," Soo said.
The Caprice LFX 3.6L V-6 outperformed the naturally aspirated Dodge Charger V-6 and Ford Police Interceptor Taurus Sedan V-6 in 60-0 mph braking, top speed and acceleration.
The Impala, with its new LFX 3.6L V-6 engine, posted a best-in-class top speed of 150 mph – faster than any V-6 entrant. The Impala has an increase of more than 70 horsepower compared to last year. It topped all naturally aspirated V-6 entrants in acceleration and top speed.
At 150 mph, the naturally aspirated Impala posted a higher top speed than the Ford Police Interceptor Taurus AWD twin-turbo V-6.
"We increased the 2012 Impala's power significantly, so it was a wolf in sheep's clothing and surprised quite a few agencies," Hammer said. "We did this while not sacrificing the safety performance or fuel efficiency of the vehicle."
The Impala PPV improved in the MSP 60 to 0 braking test by seven feet compared to 2010, and delivers 28 mpg highway, a 4 mpg improvement over the 2011 model.
The Tahoe PPV, the first and only traditional SUV designed for police use, achieved segment-leading top speed at 139 mph and reduced its stopping distance by seven feet compared to its 2011 model.
"With the Tahoe PPV, police officers get their cake and can eat it too," Hammer said. "It not only delivers top performance efficiently, but does so with best-in-class cargo capacity."

Dynamic Plaques - FVT Plaques
FVT Plaques is introducing new dynamic plaques to recognize police and sheriff's...
Police officers smelling marijuana from a dwelling can break down the door and enter if they have reason to believe the evidence might be destroyed, several Supreme Court's justices suggested Wednesday.
In the past, the high court has said officers need a search warrant to enter a home, but during arguments in a drug case, the court's conservatives said they favored relaxing that rule when police say they have a need to act fast, reports the Los Angeles Times.
The case stems from a narcotics bust in October 2005, when police entered the apartment of Hollis King in Lexington, Ky., after they smelled marijuana.

Okay, ladies & gents, it's time to dish. Pour the coffee, pull out the cheesecake, we'll be here for awhile.
Megan's on-point, insightful post about MAC Cosmetics earlier this week struck quite a nerve. We've all seen how MAC's quality has changed through the years, and not for the better. And it's not just MAC, either.
Stila Cosmetics has changed hands many times through the past few years. I love my Stila Cream Color Base, fiercely, but as far as the rest of the line goes…. The brand has seen better days. Their new, extremely budget friendly shadows aren't very pigmented and I cannot remember the last time I saw their new stuff and had to have it in my collection. Why, Stila, why?
What about you? What are some practices in the makeup world you'd like to see changed? What are some brands that could be doing a better job?

Adams Morgan Mural
Created in 1993 after the Mount Pleasant/Adams Morgan riots, this mural was envisioned as a way to unite residents representing more than 30 different ethnic backgrounds. Themes are drawn from African, Asian, and Central American cultures and include an image of children who reflect their parents' multi-national heritage. 16 District youth worked with G. Byron Peck in creating and painting this 28' x 35' mural, which was done in collaboration with the Latin American Youth Center and civic leaders of the neighborhood.
Location: Intersection of Columbia and Ontario Rds., NW, Washington, DC 20009
