KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The losingest pitcher in the major leagues can hardly wait to get away from it all.
With Brad Radke breaking a personal four-game losing streak and Joe Mauer getting three hits, the Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals 5-4 Friday night and sent Zack Greinke to his major league-high 11th loss.
"My plan is to go away for the All-Star break, get away from Kansas City," said Greinke (1-11), who came into the season considered the cornerstone of the Royals' youth movement.
"Maybe some good things will happen in the second half."
Greinke gave up eight hits and five runs in 5 2/3 innings, with two walks and two strikeouts. The 21-year-old right-hander's ERA climbed to 6.20, and his 0.83 winning percentage is the worst any Kansas City pitcher has had at the All-Star break.
But Twins center fielder Torii Hunter is still impressed with the slender second-year pro.
"He's only 21 and that's scary," said Hunter, who had an RBI single. "Once he learns it all, you better watch out. He's going to be nasty. I hope he's not in this division."
If not for a poor play by Royals second baseman Ruben Gotay on a potential inning-ending double-play grounder, Greinke might be celebrating his second win instead.
Trailing 3-2 with one out in the sixth, the Twins got an RBI single from Lew Ford, which also put runners at the corners. Justin Morneau hit a hard grounder straight to Gotay.
But he fumbled the ball and had time only to throw to first for one out. Jacque Jones scored on the play, then Luis Rodriguez singled into right for the fifth Twins run. There was no error on the play since official scorers cannot assume a double play.
"That was a rocket," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "That was a missile, a tough play. I know it was right at him and it looks routine, but he hit the living daylights out of that ball. The ball took a little bad hop on him and bounced off him. He got one but he couldn't get two and we got a little bit lucky there, yeah."
Gotay said there were no excuses.
"I just missed it," he said. "There's going to be one time in the year when I miss one like that and unfortunately it was tonight."
Radke (6-8) allowed four runs and nine hits in 6 1/3 innings and got his first road win. The right-hander had lost four straight starts for the first time in four years, and was getting an average of fewer than two runs of support in that span.
"It feels good to get my first road win of the year," he said. "It took a while. I made a few mistakes but the team picked me up today."
Joe Nathan pitched the ninth for his 25th save in 27 chances, including 12th in a row.
Greinke refused to blame Gotay's missed play.
"That stuff happens every game," he said. "Good pitchers will get out of it by making another good pitch or getting the next guy out, or not even getting them get into that situation in the first place."
Mike Sweeney, after sitting out a game with a sore wrist, had three hits and two RBIs for the Royals, whose three-game winning streak was snapped.
Mauer and Hunter hit back-to-back RBI singles for the Twins in the third, but the Royals cut it to 2-1 in the bottom of the inning when Shane Costa doubled leading off and scored on Sweeney's single.
Mark Teahen and Angel Berroa singled with one out in the fourth and scored on a double by John Buck, giving the Royals a 3-2 lead.
Sweeney's RBI single off Juan Rincon in the seventh made it 5-4.
Sweeney doubled off the center field wall in the fifth and brought a roar of laughter from the crowd when he went crashing into second covering his head with both hands, fearful that Hunter's throw was going to hit him on the head.
"The ball was in the lights and I thought it was going to hit me in the face," he said. "I was trying to avoid the ball, the fielder and touch the base."
- Radke leads Twins pitchers with five hit batsmen.
- The Twins are 4-8 in their last 12 road games.
- Berroa singled with one out in eighth but was out at second on a throw from right fielder Jones, who had bobbled the ball momentarily. Berroa has four straight multihit games.

Sympathy For The Victims
Sympathy For The Victims
Dear Editor:
As a resident of Bayswater Far Rockaway I wish to express my
deepest sympathy to the victims and families of the tragic plane crash. To my neighbors of Bell Harbor I know that all Rockaway residents stand beside you during this terrible tragedy. While watching a television news broadcast I saw the
students of Bell Harbor PS114 attending school a day after the crash.
While they were entering the school many students were shouting, "we are proud to be an American." And it made me proud of these children, their parents and their teachers and proud that they are America's future.

Community gathered for fallen officer's funeral
New Bern officer killed on duty honored
NEW BERN, CRAVEN COUNTY - Family, friends, and members of law enforcement gathered to mourn the loss of Officer Alexander Thalmann at his funeral Friday afternoon.
The funeral was held at Temple Baptist Church in New Bern. At least a 1,000 people filled the churches seats.
Hundreds of law enforcement officers from across the country, as well as friends and family, came to say goodbye to Officer Thalmann.
During the service, many of Thalmann's close friends and New Bern Police Chief Toussaint Summers took the stage to remember the good times they shared with Officer Thalmann.
Thalmann was described through the many different roles he had in life: a police officer, a marine, a friend and a son.
Thalmann's mother was presented with the North Carolina flag and the City of New Bern flag.
Chief Summers said Thalmann was a strong and committed officer who leaves behind a brotherhood. With tears in his eyes, he remembered his officer who he said will never be forgotten.
PREVIOUS: Family, friends, and members of law enforcement continue to mourn the loss of Officer Alexander Thalmann.
Thalmann passed away on Monday after being injured during a weekend shooting. The suspect who shot Thalmann, Bryan Stallings, was shot by police officers and died on the scene. Also shot was officer Justin Wester, who survived.
On Wednesday, the City of New Bern presented a wreath to the New Bern Police Department and Chief Toussiant Summers during a ceremony at 3:30 p.m. at the police department on George Street.
Funeral plans for Officer Thalmann were released Tuesday. Visitation will be from 2:00-4:00 p.m. and from 6:00-9:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 3, at Hillside Funeral Home in Washington. The funeral will be at 2 p.m. Friday, April 4, at Temple Baptist Church in New Bern. Burial will follow in the Oakdale Cemetery in Washington.
An escort brought Thalmann's body back to New Bern Tuesday; an autopsy was performed Tuesday, but a cause of death has not been released by the Medical Examiner's Office at Vidant Medical Center.
In addition, outside of the New Bern Police station sits a police car, draped with black velvet cloth and covered with flowers and messages in his memory.
To honor Thalmann, the City of New Bern is doing all it can to remember him. They started by creating a memorial. The memorial is outside of the New Bern Police Department. The city encourages people to come place flowers and cards on the car to remember Thalmann.
We also spoke with people who had met Thalmann during his 7 months as a police officer in New Bern.
River Bend Police Chief Ryland Matthews said he knew Thalmann. He said he was an eager officer always ready to serve his community.
"It's a sad time and a reminder, we always hear it sometime but we kind of put it in the back of our head, that you never know the day you go to work you never know how your day is going to end," Matthews explained. "Sadly for this young officer I think it ended all too quick."
Among the people we spoke with was a NewsChannel 12 employee, who said Thalmann helped him when his car broke down on his way to work.
"It was 4 am when my car broke down in the middle of an intersection and an officer pulled up," David Carta said. That officer was Alexander Thalmann. "He was extremely helpful, helping me push my car out the road. He told me he wanted people to know he was there to help."
Also a person who had interactions with Thalmann was a worker at Waffle House in New Bern. Thalmann was a regular patron, employees said.
"He would come in just about every day with his other officers," Heather Edwards Brown Said. She remembers serving him. "I wish everybody could've met him. I think everybody who met him was touched in some way. He was just the type of police officer the City of New Bern needed."
"The true heroes are people like Officer Thalmann who gave his life serving our community and protecting us. So many of us here in New Bern are thinking of him and his family, we will never forget him," New Bern resident Tom Adams said.
Thea Kincaid said it's not only a department loss, but a loss for the entire community.
"It's just sad, but we have to pull together and that's what our community is about," she said.
Kincaid said along with friends and church members they have made hundreds of blue ribbons. She asks for everyone to wear them over their hearts.
"This is just one small thing we can do to let him know we are thinking about him," she said.
New Bern Police tell the public attending the funeral Friday, April 4, 2014 at Temple Baptist Church to enter at Park and Fifth Street (close to the YMCA) and they will be directed where to park.
New Bern Police released the route that the funeral procession for Officer Thalmann will take after his funeral on Friday.

Large area graphene films may lead to inexpensive nanotech solar cells
In a proof-of-concept demonstration, large area graphene films several atomic layers thick were inexpensively produced. These films are not perfect single atomic layers of carbon, as are the much smaller graphene flakes that have been produced up to now, but the researchers are confident that they can improve the films over time. A chemistry professor not involved in this research, molecular nanotechnology pioneer James Tour, is referenced as believing these films hold great promise for organic solar cells. Excerpts from "How to Make Graphene: A simple way to deposit thin films of carbon could lead to cheaper solar cells", by Prachi Patel-Predd at Technology Review:
Graphene—a flat single layer of carbon atoms—can transport electrons at remarkable speeds, making it a promising material for electronic devices. Until recently, researchers had been able to make only small flakes of the material, and only in small quantities. However, Rutgers University researchers have developed an easy way to make transparent graphene films that are a few centimeters wide and one to five nanometers thick.
Thin films of graphene could provide a cheap replacement for the transparent, conductive indium tin oxide electrodes used in organic solar cells. They could also replace the silicon thin-film transistors common in display screens. Graphene can transport electrons tens of times faster than silicon, so graphene-based transistors could work faster and consume less power…
In fact, Rutgers materials science and engineering professor Manish Chhowalla and his colleagues used their graphene films to make prototype transistors and organic solar calls. In a recent Nature Nanotechnology paper [abstract], they showed that they can deposit the transparent films on any substrate, including glass and flexible plastic. Chhowalla says that the method could be adapted to a larger scale to coat "meters and meters of substrates with graphene films," using roll-to-roll processing, a technique being developed to make large flexible electronic circuits…
James Tour, a chemistry professor at Rice University, says that this is "certainly the easiest method I've seen for making [graphene thin films] over large areas." He thinks that the process could easily be converted into a larger, commercial-scale manufacturing technique. "It's very amenable for rapid production," he says. "It's not going to take much to get these things produced … and cover large areas."

In China's Shadow Play, The Man To Watch May Be Zhuby
When China's banks went on a wild lending spree two years ago, jeopardizing the whole financial system, economic czar Zhu Rongji came to the rescue. A tough manager, Zhu took over as governor of the People's Bank of China (PBOC), where he tightened credit and forced the banks to clean up their acts. Despite howls from China's many credit junkies, including money-losing state enterprises and big-spending provincial leaders, Zhu stuck to his guns. His effort paid off. Things cooled down, and China's bankers became more professional.
Now, Zhu is stepping down as the bank's governor. But he's by no means out. If anything, his tenure at the People's Bank has enhanced his stature in the power structure. While other top leaders have kept their heads down during this shaky transition period, Zhu has established himself as the one Politburo member willing to take risks and get things done. He also used his tenure at the bank to put together a crack team of sophisticated young advisers. "I'm impressed with that whole gang," says Diane Yowell, director of Hong Kong Bank China Services Ltd. "They are putting China on a more stable, rational economic path."
AMONG THE MANDARINS. Zhu's major achievement has been engineering a soft landing for the once overheated Chinese economy. His controls have cooled economic growth down to an 11% pace from 13% two years ago and dropped inflation to the 20% level from nearly 30%. Signs are that the numbers will continue to gradually ease, barring natural disasters. "He has managed the economy remarkably well," says Shan Li, executive director and China economist at Goldman Sachs Ltd. in Hong Kong.
By stepping down now, Zhu may be making an astute political move. While other top Chinese leaders have been consolidating power and making key alliances in preparation for Deng Xiaoping's succession, Zhu has been absorbed in dealing with economic crises. Although that has boosted his standing among ordinary folk in China, it hasn't done much to gain him a constituency among the mandarins. Moreover, the role of a disciplined central banker is a job that tends to make more enemies than friends. "The central bank isn't the path to success in any country," says a Western diplomat in Beijing.
"I'D BE AMAZED." No one believes Zhu is angling to challenge President Jiang Zemin for China's top post. But some speculate that he may be eager to become Premier when Li Peng steps down in 1998, after completing the maximum two terms in office.
Others, however, think Zhu will remain preoccupied with the economy. He still faces the task of dealing with the money-losing state enterprises and boosting flagging agricultural production. Zhu retains overall responsibility for economic management as well as oversight of the banking and securities industries. "In any other economy, I'd be amazed to find a person who does all those things," says Geoff Lewis, regional economist for Smith New Court Securities Ltd. in Hong Kong.
Zhu, 67, will continue to exercise plenty of influence over monetary policy through his successor, Dai Xianglong, 50, a Zhu protege with long experience in both public and private banking. Chinese economists say Zhu relied on advice from the younger Dai when Zhu was Shanghai's mayor in the late 1980s. Zhu is said to have brought Dai to the People's Bank five days after he became governor. Dai has been a vice-governor of the central bank.
With such key portfolios already in hand, Zhu may not see any need to take the risk of battling for higher titles. He already has the commanding role in charting China's economic future.

|Kelly Olynyk proves he's as tough as any hockey player
|04.02.15 at 9:34 am ET
Too bad Kevin Garnett never played with Kelly Olynyk.
Garnett, one of the most fierce competitors in recent Celtics lore, would've been proud to watch how Olynyk handled himself Wednesday night. The second-year swing man out of Gonzaga insisted on playing with his left eye shut thanks to a pregame accidental elbow from teammate Shav Randolph.
Good thing since Olynyk made seven of his 10 shots, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range, scoring 19 off the bench in a 100-87 win over the Pacers that keeps Boston right in the mix of race for the final two playoff spots in the East.
"It didn't affect me a lot except I couldn't see that well from that eye," Olynyk said. "I felt good, we played well as a team, moved the ball, got open looks from the start and just got rolling."
"I gave him no hope of playing," marveled Tyler Zeller, who matched Olynyk's team-high 19 points. "He looked like he just got out of a boxing fight. I was impressed with his ability to go out and play and be able to produce like he did. He couldn't have been able to see out of that eye so he did a great job of playing through it."
What was particularly amazing was how his teammates, realizing he had the hot hand with just one eye, kept feeding him the ball. His three-ball with 3:53 left in the fourth quarter was the perfect capper on the night, extending the Celtics' lead out to 16, 94-78.
"[Tuesday] night I went in the gym and got a lot of shots up, just kind of repped it out and just felt really good," Olynyk said. "I was feeling good, before the game I was feeling good even after I got hit, I came back out and tried it out so I knew I was going to have a good one."
|Will Shav Randolph be a playoff factor for Celtics?
|04.06.13 at 11:10 am ET
With injury comes opportunity. It's one of the oldest cliches in sports.
It's also an interesting thought when considering the options in front of Doc Rivers as he tries to ready his Celtics for another playoff run.
Has the play of someone like unheralded power forward Shavlik Randolph opened Rivers' eyes and those of the coaching staff enough to warrant serious consideration in the playoff rotation?
After a career-high 16 points and seven rebounds, providing the only real energy off the bench in Friday's loss to Cleveland, Rivers was asked where Randolph fits in during the playoffs, when benches are shortened and playing time is at a premium.
'I don't know," Rivers said. "He's playing great. Just leave it at that; he's just playing great basketball and we're going to keep playing him.'
'I was just rolling to the basket and guys were finding me," Randolph said. "It's simple as that, I was getting good passes. Putting me in positions where I could finish around the rim. I wasn't really making any tough shots. My teammates were finding me.'
On the surface, that sounds like the coach is hedging his bets on whether there will be any time at all for the Duke product, considering if Kevin Garnett is healthy, Wilcox heads back to the bench and Rivers already has Brandon Bass already starting on the front court.
In eight games without Garnett, Randolph has averaged just over five points and 4.5 rebounds while playing about 13 minutes per game.
'Well, it's the mindset I've had probably for the past six or seven games," Randolph said. "I know I'm going to get in there at some point. I just have to play as high energy as possible, you know come in with that second unit and make sure that the energy doesn't drop off from the starting unit. You know that's what I've tried to do since I got here.'
He certainly didn't get the benefit of the doubt on calls Friday night, when he fouled out with six minutes left.
'You know, just try to keep my composure," he said. "In a game you're not always going to agree with the calls, that's just the nature of the game. You just got to keep playing. If you foul out, then you just try to cheer your teammates on. You know, that's what I tried to do.'
Does he think he's shown enough on and off the court to warrant serious playing time in the playoffs?
"That's a great question. All I know, is I'll be ready, regardless. I'll be ready to go in, regardless of what my role might be."
|Running on empty: Cavs outmuscle shorthanded Celtics
|04.05.13 at 9:55 pm ET
Life without Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett was ugly Friday night. Very ugly.
Second-year big man Tristan Thompson scored 29 points and grabbed 17 rebounds while the Celtics went ice cold in the second half and fell to the lowly Cavaliers, 97-91, Friday night at TD Garden. Pierce missed the game with a sore right ankle while Garnett missed his eighth straight game with inflammation in his left ankle. Cleveland won two of the three meetings this season between the two.
The Cavaliers used the Celtics to snap their 10-game losing streak while Boston fell for the third time in four games. The Celtics fell to 39-37 on the season but did not lose any ground on eight-place Milwaukee, which lost to the Knicks in New York. Boston remains in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, two games ahead of the Bucks in the loss column. Boston has six games remaining, including two games on its current four-game homestand. Jeff Green led the Celtics with 23 points and nine rebounds.
In a first half of unknown and unlikely heroes, it was Tristan Thompson became the latest opposing big man to dominate the Celtics inside. Behind Thompson's career high in points and rebounds, the Cavaliers outscored the Celtics 52-38 in the paint and outrebounded Boston, 58-42.
Thompson, the second-year player out of Texas, scored 21 points and hauled in 11 rebounds in the first two quarters, as the Cavaliers (23-52) erased an eight-point deficit early in the second quarter, using a 10-0 run to forge a 52-52 halftime tie.
Shav Randolph had the best first half of his NBA career, scoring a career-high 13 points and grabbing five rebounds in the first 15 minutes of the game. But as has often been the case in his short stint with the Celtics, foul trouble limited his time on the court as he picked up three first-half fouls.
The Celtics built a seven-point lead, 62-55, on an Avery Bradley three with 8:13 left in the third. But then the wheels fell off as the Celtics went ice cold. Boston was just 6-for-27 (27.3 percent) from the field. Cleveland went on a 19-3 run to take a 74-65 lead before Jordan Crawford hit a three to cut Cleveland's lead to 74-68 heading into the fourth.
But Cleveland scored the first eight points of the fourth to take a 14-point lead. Randolph picked up two fouls in a minute in the third quarter and then fouled out with 6:57 left in the fourth. Randolph finished with a career-high 16 points and seven rebounds.
Jason Terry hit a baseline three with 5:46 left to bring Boston within four, 87-83, as the crowd became a factor again. But Thompson's put-back dunk with five minutes left answered the Celtics run, putting Cleveland back up by six.
With 3:18 left in the game and the Celtics down eight, 91-83, Bradley left the game and headed for the locker room with trainer Ed Lacerte. He suffered a bruised left collar bone and returned to the bench with two minutes left in regulation but did not play. With 2:09 left in the game Green completed a three-point play to draw Boston within four again, 91-87 but an easy alley-oop layup by Tyler Zeller and a jumper by Kyrie Irving with 1:22 left put Cleveland up, 95-87.
The Celtics are off Saturday before returning to action at home on Sunday night (6 p.m.) against the Wizards at TD Garden. Boston concludes its four-game homestand on Wednesday night. For more, visit the Celtics team page at weei.com/celtics.
|Three for all: Jeff Green, Jason Terry and Shav Randolph lead C's to key win over Hawks
|03.29.13 at 9:49 pm ET
Shav Randolph picked a fine time for the game of his NBA career. The 29-year-old Duke product had 13 rebounds and nine points, just missing his first career double-double, as the Celtics continued their fight for playoff position with a 118-107 win over the Atlanta Hawks Friday night at TD Garden. The win drew Boston to within 1.5 games of sixth-place Atlanta in the Eastern Conference race, just two games back in the loss column.
With the injured Rajon Rondo watching from the Celtics bench, the Celtics put on an offensive exhibition, led by 27 points from Jeff Green and 24 from Jason Terry. The Celtics shot 11-of-23 from 3-point range, including 5-of-7 from Terry, who paced a big effort from the bench. Paul Pierce picked up a triple-double with a strong fourth-quarter effort. Pierce finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the Celtics, who improved to 38-34.
For Pierce, it was his third triple-double of the season and 10th of his career. Another milestone was reached as Terry passed the 1,900 plateau in career 3-pointers, becoming just the fourth player in NBA history to pass the milestone. Terry stands behind only Ray Allen, Reggie Miller and Jason Kidd. Pierce is fifth with 1,810
Thanks to scorching shooting from beyond the arc, the Celtics posted their highest point total of the first half all season when they put up 66 points and raced out to a 66-56 halftime lead.
Leading the charge was Terry, who was 4-for-5 from 3-point range and scored 14 of his team-leading 16 points in the second quarter. Jordan Crawford nailed a three at the first-quarter buzzer and Green answered with 5.8 seconds left in the second as the Celtics seized momentum.
The unsung hero of the first half was Randolph. With Chris Wilcox fighting foul trouble and the Hawks attempting to take advantage of their superior size, Randolph grabbed five rebounds and scored four points. Randolph came into the game with the Celtics trailing, 38-34, with just under 10 minutes left in the second quarter.
When he checked back out eight minutes later, the Celtics had completed a 27-10 run and built a 11-point lead, 61-50.
Randolph thrilled the crowd again in the third quarter when Wilcox picked up his fourth foul with 9:15 left in the quarter. He blocked a Josh Smith shot and hauled in three rebounds, including an offensive put-back during a key run that ended in a Jeff Green three that put Boston up, 83-68, Boston's biggest lead to that point.
The Celtics led comfortably, 98-87, on a Crawford jumper when the Hawks put on a push to get back into the game. The Hawks scored the five points to make it a six-point game before Terry answered with a mid-range jumper. Terry stepped into a three with 5:49 left after a wild loose-ball scramble. That three was Boston's 10th of the night and put them up, 105-94. Green hit a jumper with 5:08 left to stretch the lead back to 13, 107-94.
Green's three with 2:27 left put Boston up, 112-101, sealed Atlanta's fate.The Celtics are off Saturday before playing Sunday night at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks.

|Doc Rivers pregame: Terrence Williams 'can be a great' playmaker
|03.01.13 at 7:34 pm ET
Celtics head coach Doc Rivers spoke about how the new players Shav Randolph, DJ White and Terrence Williams will fill the bench for the Celtics who come into Friday nights game against the Golden State Warriors having won two of their last three. Jordan Crawford is also making his Garden debut in a Celtics uniform.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo, Williams signed a deal that is good for the rest of the season at the league minimum. It also has a clause that extends to next season but is not guaranteed. It is a report that Rivers confirmed before Friday's game with the Golden State at TD Garden.
Williams was on a 10-day contract with the Celtics and has appeared in three games, averaging 4.3 points and 2.7 rebounds in 14.1 minutes before Friday's extension.
Williams, White and Randolph were all playing in China. Rivers was asked before Friday's game, tongue-in-cheek, if he had ever been to China to see any of three actually play in person.
"Not me," he said. "I can tell you that. You can watch film these days. You don't have to travel."
Williams is one player that has made an impact, except for the game in Portland Sunday night.
"I like the way he's played, minus one game. Now that he's going to be here, we have a chance to hopefully turn him into a player we think he could be.
"I saw him this summer. He came in and worked out with us for a week, pick up games. Just watching the way he played, you really that even in those situations, he's more point than '2' [guard]. I don't think he's ever going to be a great scorer in our league but he can be a great playmaker.
"It'd be nice if we found a superstar but there are very few of those in the entire league. We're just looking for a solid player."
Were any of the three on Doc's radar?
"No, because we were healthy," Rivers said. "They may have been on Danny's and [management] but honestly I'm looking at the guys we have in the gym not those in China. I'm focused on that. Because of the injuries, we had to look around and that's where we went.
"This is different because a lot of them are young and a lot of these guys really haven't established themselves as players yet. In the past, the P.J. Browns, the Gary Paytons, and whoever else we brought in had pretty much established themselves and we knew who they were."
Rivers did acknowledge that the spread offense likely makes their transition to Boston easier.
"Probably because it's not just one play or the execution part of it, it's spreading the floor, moving it to the open guy. That I would think would make it easier."
What Rivers made very clear Friday are the roles he wants Randolph, Williams, White and, to a lesser degree Crawford, to all understand while in Celtics green. They are, for the most part, here to fill out a bench and help when needed, which is mainly in practice.
"I would rather put Kevin and Brandon Bass and Jeff Green out there [in games]," Rivers said. "We're bringing them in to fill our bench and to help us if we need it. I'm not bringing in guys to take any of those other guys' spots. Obviously, if one of them comes in and helps us, that's good. But that's their role to be ready to play, and be ready not to play and understand what we're doing."

I'm currently selling copies of the first two issues of my perzine, Travel On, through my blog: http://ireallyfelt.blogspot.com I'm asking 2 dollars and 2 stamps per zine but I'm not strict on it. This is my first time ever asking money for zines but it is to help pay to print issue #3 which has been written but not printed.
The zines mainly include some fictional stories, some letters I wrote, and some non-fiction ramblings.
you've got a friend in pennsylvania #5 is now finished!
having worked at in a warehouse for the past month and a half, i've spent a lot of time within a "boys' club" environment. daily struggles with hearing racist and sexist bullshit and making attempts to challenge the mindsets of those around me have left me defensive and drained. this zine, done in 24-ish hours for the dc zine fest, is about resisting militant masculinity on the job, learning how to more effectively call out shitty behavior, and how i have created a safer space for myself (and hopefully some others) at work. b&w, 1/4 size, 20 pages. includes original photography by yours truly! $1 or trade. if interested, please send me a message or e-mail youvegotafriendinpa(at)gmail(dot)com
Not Lonely #6
This issue of my perzine is largely concerned with a recent trip I made to Holland. I write about getting there (despite a fear of flying), exploring Rotterdam and Amsterdam and going to a fairytale-themed amusement park, the Efteling. I talk about differences between British and Dutch culture and wonder if I'd like to move over there. There is also an (unrelated) item about books I loved as a child, as well as the "usual" handwritten introduction. The zine was made cut-and-paste style with lots of different layouts, collages and photos from my Holland excursion.
A6 (quarter-sized), 40 pages, pretty text-heavy.
It's £1.50 including UK postage, plus 75p for international postage. Get it (& my other zines) here!
Pieces #6: On Commuting
Perzine 1/4 size : 86 pages
Filled with photos and stories about my first month commuting to Chicago via the South Shore electric line, this zine picks up where Pieces #5 left off in terms of change, and touches on human isolation, connectivity, and transient strangers.
Available for $3 or even trade. Even trades don't have to be zines. They can also be handwritten or typewritten letters, tea, handmade cards or postcards, stationary, buttons & pins, or other random but interesting odds and ends.
This is my first attempt at the 24 hour zine thing and I had a ball making it. It's called "An Exploration" and is all about my journey from abusive sex to bad sex to blah sex to finally discovering myself fully through bdsm. There are some TRIGGER WARNINGS for this issue for sexual assault and graphic depictions of bondage and masochism.
Message me for trades!

The rape and murder of Italian artist-activist, Pippa Bacca, shocked Turks and aroused anger that so many men feel justified in using violence against women in order to assert their power. Turkish art critic Beral Madra voiced the strong feelings of many women in noting: "Turkey is proud of those men who have license to kill because they are considered the guardians of honor in the country. This is acepted by the masses and has been polished by the religious-oriented politicians since the 1980s, by the TV culture since the 1970s, and before that by the Yesilcam cinema sector." Until the Turkish penal code was changed n 2004, if a man charged with raping a minor married the vicim, charges against him were dropped, and the penal code still recognizes "unjust provocation" as a cause to reduce punishment in cases of violence against women. One assumes "unjust provocation" was some behavior on part of the woman that "caused" the male to act in a violent manner.
In some areas of Turkey, female politicians like Mayor Gulcihand Simsek, have negotiated with trade unions to ensure if a man behaves violently toward his wife, she is now entitled to receive part of his wages, and he can lose his job if violence continues. An ongoing problem is when a woman goes to the police all she encounters are men. There is need for more female members of the police, particularly in units dealing with family violence.

What I did
Four Corners
Drove around the town which was split, old on the south side of the interstate and the new on the north side. Sat out for a few minutes before the wind and temperature drove us inside. Unfortunately, due to the dry conditions you can't have any fires at any of the campgrounds.
FRIDAY 4/11 - We got on the road early (for us anyway) as we wanted to see Four Corners where Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico meet
The Navajo's run the four corners and there are booths all around that they rent to sell their jewelry, paintings, shirts and other curio's. As you can see from the pictures of the plaques it looks like they kept the original survey locations although when surveyed later with better equipment it was slightly off. We walked around and went to one of the picnic areas to have a snack before the long drive home.
The last picture was the local TV weather broadcast out of Albuquerque that we came across and I could not figure if it was bring your pet to work day??

Hyde partners with 40+ organizations for Season of Degas
To enhance the visitor and regional impact of Degas & Music, The Hyde Collection's major 2009 exhibition of the music-inspired paintings and other works by French Impressionist Edgar Degas, the Museum has partnered with more than forty regional arts and community organizations to present the Season of Degas.
"The concept of the Season of Degas," said David F. Setford, the Hyde's executive director, "was to engage audiences interested in a range of arts, as befits the theme of the exhibition…painting and music. In addition to our Degas & Music exhibition and the many related events being held at the Museum, cultural and community organizations from the Capital District to Saratoga and north beyond Lake George to Schroon Lake will be hosting more than seventy events with a Degas theme. As far as collaborative programming goes, this is unprecedented artistic synergy."
As part of the largest collaborative arts venture ever undertaken by The Hyde, local Season partners include such organizations as the Chapman Historical Museum and World Awareness Children Museums, as well as LARAC (Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council), the Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra, and the de Blasiis Chamber Music Series. Organizations hosting Degas-related events outside Glens Falls include the Philadelphia Orchestra at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, along with such venues as Seagle Music Colony in Schroon Lake, multiple arts groups at Hubbard Hall in Cambridge, and Union College in Schenectady.
Degas & Music, at The Hyde from July 12 through October 18, 2009, marks the first time that any exhibition has focused on the artist's interest in music. Degas is internationally renowned for his paintings, sketches, and drawings, as well as his pastels and sculptures, depicting the ballet and horses. However, according to exhibition curators and Degas scholars Richard Kendall and Jill DeVonyar, Degas' many music-themed works were a result of the artist's regular attendance at and fascination with musical performances.
"The Season of Degas brings arts organizations and communities together in a truly unique way. In these difficult economic times, The Hyde and its Season partners can share audiences, promotional opportunities, and love of the arts through a very diverse series of concerts, theatrical performances, exhibitions, and events." said Setford. "In all, the Season is as groundbreaking as the exhibition. We are looking at more than seventy performances and events involving forty different organizations, in five upstate New York counties, from May through October," said Setford.

- - Question: Autopilot behaving badly (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/41282-question-autopilot-behaving-badly.html)
Question: Autopilot behaving badly
Hi all,
I am a new owner of a 1988 Pacific Seacraft 31. It has a Raytheon ST4000 Plus Autopilot which works great when sailing with the engine off--holds a steady course in most conditions--but whenever I have the engine on, whether motoring or motor-sailing, fast or slow, the boat oscillates wildly from side to side and I have to shut the autohelm off. I am assuming the engine is interfering with the autopilot's compass. There is a decal on the forward bulkhead indicating the compass is located somewhere there, and of course,the engine is aft, so they are far apart. I consulted the owner's manual but there is no mention of this in the troubleshooting section. Any suggestions on how I should proceed in fixing this?
I am thinking that rather than the compass, the control head may be getting interference when the alternator comes on.
Is there a major difference in how your wheel feels under power vs. sail as the wheel pilot my just be having trouble contolling the added helm pressure that may boats get under power.
Control heads are no longer available but Raymarine fixes them for about $200 bucks + shipping.
If the label is correct, I doubt it is the engine interfering with the compass. Is this using a wheel pilot or an under deck quadrant steering drive? What kind of mechanism is the autopilot using: hydraulic or mechanical? Is the oscillation random or is it predictable?
I think Cam maybe correct that you're getting some interference with the control head. One thing to check—Does it happen if the engine is running but the transmission is in neutral? If not, then it probably isn't electrical interference from the engine, but mechanical interference of some sort.
It sounds to me like electrical interference as well. Raymarine is very emphatic about placing 'ferrites' in (or on) the the power leads going into the control unit. Is yours a factory install?

Sea Quest
I also had some issues with my ST 7000 autopilot on a sail back to St Croix from St John. We were under sail only with 18 knot winds from the East heading 190. I had the full Genoa out as well as the main. The rudder indicator showed holding a few degrees to the starboard side and the swell was out of the NE. This seemed to cuase the boat want to turn back to Port after a big swell would pass and then the auto pilot would not keep up. I hand steered the last two hours and found myself constantly holding right rudder preasure then steering back to port every few seconds. I have hydrolic steering so I think the Auto pilot was just not able to keep up with the corrections needed. I am also wondering if I could have trimmed the sails better to help this problem.
How's the reception on your onboard stero with the engine running? Sounds to me like your alternator is throwing electrical interference down the circuits.
If you hear the motor through your stero that's a pretty good verfiication of that.
Ferrites (small magnets) are one solution - and recommended for delicate electronics. Easy to retrofit as well - just go to radio shack, get a couple and slip them over the DC lines in the back of the power panel. Actual results may vary depending on how big the problem is.
The real solution is to root out the cause (again, likely the alternator) and fix it there with proper grounding and isolation.
Ferrites aren't generally magnets Chuckles.. they're just lumps of iron ferrite...hence the name...
oops, my bust - fingers going faster than brain. It's actually 'anti-magnetic' in that what it's doing is busting up the electromagnetic interference.
Longer explanations available. Don't believe the hype about them being used to prevent interference from getting out of a device, they block interference regardless of direction.
I have a similar problem, except my ST does it with sail or motor. It seems to hold a course for a minute or two, and then it suddenly goes way off course to port or starboard. Is there anything I can do or is this a Raymarine fix?
It would help if you gave some more information, like what model ST... They made five or six STx000 models at least. Tiller or wheel or under deck steering? Integrated or separate flux gate compass? What model control head? etc.

D. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION (Agenda)
Item 7 - Faith DesLauriers – Sewer project at Nixon Lane
Ms. DesLauriers lives on Nixon Lane. Currently, the City has a utility project under construction. The City is making improvements to the water system as well as installing sanitary sewer in the area. She indicated that she and her neighbors have questions about connection to the sewer system as well as some other suggestions and items.
E. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION (Non-Agenda- 15 minutes)
a. July 12, 2011 – Special City Council Meeting (Solid Waste Bid Protest)
Attached are the minutes for the City Council meeting held on Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Should you have questions, please feel free to contact Robin or me.
Item 9 - Project Managers' Report
Attached is the Project Managers Report. If you have questions, please contact any of the Project Managers or me.
The attached proposal from Quentin L. Hampton Associates, Inc. will provide supervision and inspection services to insure proper installation of new solar panels at the Wellfield site and the new Police facility. This is a change order to the existing contract with Quentin L. Hampton Associates, Inc. and is funded from the 405 fund and 314 fund along with the related project cost.
As noted with the agenda form related to the solar panel contractor change order, if electric costs are consistent, payback for this cost is about 20 years
Staff recommends approval of the change order to contract with Quentin L. Hampton Associates, Inc. to cover expanded inspection construction management of solar panels for the Wellfield Property and the Police Facility.
City Manager Comments: The City has been offered a grant from Florida Power & Light. The first decision that needs to be made before moving forward is whether to accept the grant. If the grant is not accepted, then there is no need for items 10, and 11. I am going to ask the City Council to pull items 10 and 11 from consent agenda in order to discuss whether to accept the FPL grants. The FPL grant is not like the Energy Block Grant that we received last year. The Energy Block Grant covered the entire cost of the project. Although the City desires to be energy independent and lower our operating cost, however, at the current power cost, it will take about 20 years for the City to recover its capital investment if the City accepts the grant. The capital investment could lead to lower operating cost, but not materially. The funding would be from the General Obligation Bond issue that was approved by voters for the PD headquarters and from Water and Sewer Impact Fees. The City's investment will be $258,162. It does not appear that we would see much reduction in either our General Fund or in our Water and Sewer Fund if the projects were funded. I prefer to see an ROI in the range of 5-7 years, not 20 years. I question whether this is a wise investment of City resources.
Item 11 - Solar Power Project Change Order to Contract – H.J. High Construction Company
The City has been approved for a solar rebate from Florida Power & Light in the amount of $71,010. The City currently has a contract with H.J. High Construction Company for solar panel installation at the Wellfield.
The original contract was funded primarily from a Federal Grant; however, the cost of this expanded contract is only being offset by Florida Power & Light rebates. The expanded contract will double the footprint of the solar panel area at the Wellfield and also install solar panels on the roof of the new police station. Power generated by the panels will help offset future power costs. If electric rates are constant payback for this project is approximately 20 years.
These two projects are funded from contingency in the water and sewer impact fee fund and 2006 General Obligation Bond funds. Please also see the attached proposal for details.
Staff recommends approval of the change order to solar power contract with H.J. High Construction Company in the amount of $329,172.
City Manager Comments: The only reason that we have brought forward a contract with H.J. High relates to the timeframe that the project must be completed. FPL has a relatively short turnaround time for the project. The only way to meet their timetable is to use an existing contract.
G. FINANCE (John Shelley)
Item 12 - Resolution No. 11-31 – Energy Charges
Attached to this agenda form is a Resolution adopting specific amounts for the energy usage charge related to water, sewer, and reclaimed water. It should be noted that the attached rate Resolution increases by 3 cents the energy rate per thousand gallons for water, increases by 2 cents per thousand gallons for sewer energy, and the amount remains the same per thousand gallons the energy charge for reclaimed water.
Should you have any questions pertaining to the attached rate resolution, John Shelley will be available to respond to any inquiries.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 11-31 - Establishing energy fees for water, sewer, and reclaimed water services.
Item 13 - Resolution No. 11-32 – City of Port Orange Conservation Cost Share Project with St. John's River Water Management District
The City of Port Orange has reached an Agreement with the St. John's Water Management District for a water conservation grant. The attached agreement is for Council's review. The City process resulting from this agreement will implement a program to educate, monitor, and restrict high water users. It will also identify inappropriate use of potable and irrigation meters combined with leak detection.
To summarize, the grant amount of $84,000 will equally match funds from the City. The project involves replacement of the remaining manual read meters (approximately 900 left) with Tower reading equipment. We will also implement a more efficient program to reduce water usage and make customers more aware. The result of this program should save both water resources, consumer dollars, and form a framework for future conservation.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 11-32 - City of Port Orange Conservation Cost Share Project with St. John's River Water Management District.
Item 14 - SRF Loan DW6413010 – Amendment 4
The City recently sold investments and used the proceeds to pay off SRF 5120 Allandale Rose Bay and to pay down SRF 3010 Garnsey Water Treatment Plant. The SRF 3010 loan shall now be repaid in 30 semiannual loan payments, reduced from 40, and the semiannual loan payments number 20 through 30 will be $266,460.55 beginning on 8/15/11 and continuing until final payment on 8/15/2016.
Staff recommends approval to execute Amendment 4 of our State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan agreement DW6413010. This amendment reduces the term and re-amortizes the remaining payments on the loan.
Item 15- Monthly Financial Report
Attached is the Monthly Financial Report. If you have questions, please contact either John Shelley or me.
G. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (Wayne Clark)
Item 16 - Second Reading – Ordinance No. 2011-11 – Rezoning/216 acres (portion of Woodhaven/Stanaki PUD) east of I-95, west of the Spruce Creek Preserve, south of Spruce Creek, Case No. 11-60000001
At its May 26, 2011 meeting, the Planning Commission recommend approval, 7-0, of the administrative request to rezone ±216 acres of a 225-acre property purchased by the City in 2007, lying east of I-95, west of the Spruce Creek Preserve, and south of Spruce Creek, from Planned Unit Development (PUD) (part of Woodhaven PUD, formerly Stanaki) to Government/Public Use (GPU).
Staff recommends Council to adopt Ordinance No. 2011-11, rezoning ±216 acres of a 225-acre property from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to Government/Public Use (GPU), consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and as recommended by the Planning Commission.
H. PUBLIC SAFETY (Jerry Monahan)
Attached is the monthly Crime Report. If you have questions, please contact either Jerry Monahan or me.
I. CITY MANAGER (Ken Parker)
Item 18 - Resolution No. 11-33 – Perpetual easement for FDOT for Parcel 809 required for Interstate 4 Widening Project
The FDOT has completed designing the 6-lane improvements for I-4 (State Road 400) between SR44 and I-95. The design includes stormwater ponds and wildlife crossings and most recently the plans have been modified to meet the criteria for a high-speed rail (HSR) corridor. The project features a 10-foot high animal safety fencing along the corridor, which has the added benefit of enhancing homeland security for our property holdings and central wellfield. Some of the planned improvements require procurement of lands abutting the existing right-of-way.
Parcels 803, 806, and 809 are contiguous parcels located within the area commonly referred to as the "Rotary Tract" on the south side of I-4. As a matter of policy, the City generally prefers to maintain rights and usage of its wellfield property holdings for a variety of uses, which include hunting leases and wetland mitigation banking.
The City previously granted two perpetual easements over Parcels 803 and 806 to FDOT abutting this location for the same purpose. However, to meet the criteria for HSR, the easement area previously conveyed has been determined as insufficient. Expanding the easement area is necessary to accommodate additional soil and natural vegetative slope required for a 5-ft. increase in height of the wildlife crossing at this location. Modified design requirements do not conflict with the use of the land for a hunting lease or mitigation bank. Federal funding has been awarded to FDOT for construction of the project and FDOT has contacted the City to request the additional easement for consistency with the design.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No 11-33 authorizing the granting to FDOT of a perpetual easement across 10,550 square feet, more or less, of land for the widening of Interstate 4, and authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to execute the associated documents to effectuate the conveyance.
Item 19 - Approval of FY 2011- FY 2015 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Plan and FY 2011 Annual Action Plan
The City of Port Orange has been notified that its FY 2011 CDBG allocation is estimated to be $255,474. In order to receive these funds, the City must submit a new Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2011-2015, including an Annual Action Plan for FY 2011. The City has sought public input into the preparation of these plans and has complied with the public notice and hearing requirements of the City's adopted Citizen Participation Plan. The Executive Summary of the FY 2011- FY 2015 Consolidated Plan is attached for review. The entire draft plan is available in electronic format through the City's CDBG webpage or in paper form upon request.
The following projects/activities have been identified for CDBG funding in FY 2011: Public Facility Improvements, $184,379; World Changers Painting/Home Improvements, $20,000; and CDBG Planning & Administration, $51,095.
Plan documents have been made available for 30 days public comment through City offices and the City's website in compliance with Federal regulations. These plans are substantially complete and upon approval by the Council, will be finalized and submitted to HUD by the August 16, 2011 deadline.
Staff recommends approval of the FY 2011- FY 2015 CDBG Consolidated Plan and FY 2011 Annual Action Plan, and authorization of Staff to finalize these plans for submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Item 20 - Acceptance of the donation of lots in Sugar Forest Phase III subdivision from the HOA
Attached is a letter from the Sugar Forest Phase III HOA. They are in the process of dissolving. They are the only phase in Sugar Forest that has a HOA. They have a track of land that was dedicated to the HOA. They are offering this property to the City. The area is common area meaning that each property owner has an undivided interest in the property. The HOA is the responsible party acting on behalf of the property owners for the maintenance of the property. The property is heavily wooded. In the mid 1990's the City considered using this parcel for drainage retention when the City was preparing to make drainage improvements in the area. There was opposition in the neighborhood and the City developed a retention pond in a different area to assist in handling stormwater from Sugar Forest. We never fully evaluated whether this property for stormwater management purposes. I can tell you that Sugar Forest still floods under certain conditions and probably would flood even if this property were developed into a stormwater facility.
If the City Council desires to accept the property, there is a legal mechanism that would have to be followed in order to turn the property over to the City. The HOA Attorney and the City Attorney would have to work together to accomplish the transfer of the property. I cannot recall any subdivision asking the City to take over the common property within their subdivision. I can recall HOA's asking the City to assume the maintenance of their private streets. In the case of private streets, very, very few have completed the actual transfer to the City. I can only recall two that actually completed the transfer of streets to the City.
Item 21 - Comments/Concerns from Council Members
At this time council members may discuss various matters or concerns.
At this time, Council Members may report on various committees to which they have been assigned.

You might try to get relief from occasional body aches and pains with an over-the-counter treatment. But for people with severe joint stiffness or mobility restrictions due to arthritis or fibromyalgia, it's a good idea to get medical advice. According to the FTC, some products that claim to treat those serious conditions don't live up to the hype. Today the FTC announced a settlement against a company that claimed its "clinically proven" supplement promised "complete and long-lasting relief" from joint pain.
Buying a car can be exciting, but what if there are strings attached? Some buyers told us that they financed a car through a dealership, signed a contract, and drove the car home, only to be told that the financing didn't go through and they had to sign a new deal or lose their down payment. There's a name for that: it's called a "yo-yo" financing tactic. It's just one of a trunk-load of charges the FTC is bringing against Sage Auto Group, a group of nine Los Angeles-based auto dealerships, and the three brothers who control them.
Are you getting calls or emails from a company you've never heard of? Wondering how they got your name or number — or how they know what you're interested in? The reason might be lead generation. Here's what you need to know.
If you're a high school or college student or parent, it's important to know that beginning this year, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) filing season for the 2017-18 academic year launches Oct. 1. This is a new timeline that starts three months earlier than usual to align financial aid applications with the college admissions season.
October is almost here — which means, so is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM). What does that mean for you? It's a great time to make sure you're #CyberAware. Are you doing everything you can to protect your personal information and devices? Check out these questions — and corresponding short videos — to see what you're doing right, and where your cyber habits might need some work.
The FTC will be refunding nearly $20 million to people who were misled by One Technologies about getting "free credit scores" that weren't so free. The money comes from a 2014 settlement with One Technologies. According to the FTC, the company misled people by advertising free credit scores without making clear that people would be enrolled in a credit monitoring program — and charged $29.95 per month.
It's Adult Education and Family Literacy Week. It's a time to raise public awareness about the importance of both things – adult education and family literacy – and the 36 million adults in the US with low literacy skills.
Do you think an abusive partner or ex is monitoring you through your phone? They might be using stalking apps (spyware) that secretly track your devices. Here's information about what stalking apps are, how to tell if they're on your device, and what to do if they are.

Some scammers hide fraud in the fine print; others put it right up front in CAPITAL LETTERS. The FTC has just sued a handful of people and companies that allegedly mailed hundreds of thousands of notices with brazen lies to people in the US and other countries. The promotions, featuring phony claims like "YOU HAVE WON A CASH PRIZE!" and you are a "CONFIRMED PRIZE WINNER," went mostly to older people.

Definition of atheist
: a person who does not believe in the existence of a god or any gods : one who subscribes to or advocates atheism
atheisticallyplay \-ti-k(ə-)lē\ adverb
How agnostic Differs from atheist
Many people are interested in distinguishing between the words agnostic and atheist. The difference is quite simple: atheist refers to someone who believes that there is no god (or gods), and agnostic refers to someone who doesn't know whether there is a god, or even if such a thing is knowable. This distinction can be troublesome to remember, but examining the origins of the two words can help.
Agnostic first appeared in 1869, (possibly coined by the English biologist Thomas Henry Huxley), and was formed from the Greek agnōstos (meaning "unknown, unknowable"). Atheist came to English from the French athéisme. Although both words share a prefix (which is probably the source of much of the confusion) the main body of each word is quite different. Agnostic shares part of its history with words such as prognosticate and prognosis, words which have something to do with knowledge or knowing something. Atheist shares roots with words such as theology and theism, which generally have something to do with God.

Racing TV newcomer reckons it's getting set
Page Tools
The Sydney and Victorian thoroughbred racing clubs' venture, ThoroughVision (TVN), says it is establishing itself as a rival broadcaster, having secured a number of commercial agreements.
TVN chief executive Peter Sweeney told a press briefing on Friday that the broadcaster's service was widely available in Victorian TABs and was being introduced in other states where it would have paying customers for the first time.
"UNiTAB have agreed to take our vision through Queensland, South Australia and the Northern Territory at commercial rates, and I've had formal discussions with Western Australia's TAB," Mr Sweeney said.
TVN will meet Tabcorp's NSW executives next week to negotiate the introduction of its service into NSW TAB outlets.
The coverage will be crucial as NSW is the largest wagering market in Australia and the current lack of coverage by TVN has underpinned arguments that wagering turnover, which provides most of the racing industry's income, will fall if Tabcorp's Sky Channel is not allowed to broadcast the races as well.
Friday's press briefing was held hours before TVN was due to meet PricewaterhouseCoopers, which is conducting an independent review of TVN's business model and whether it will affect turnover.
The report, commissioned by Racing NSW, is expected to be completed by the middle of next week.
An unfavourable report could give Racing NSW enough leverage to force its constituents, the Sydney Turf Club and Australian Jockey Club, to offer their broadcast rights to Sky as well.
Such a deal would kill TVN's business model, which relies on subscription fees for its exclusive feed of Australia's highest profile thoroughbred races. The race clubs have invested millions in TVN.
TVN said that if Sky relaxed its exclusive deal with the pay TV operators and allowed TVN into Tabcorp's NSW outlets, its service would be available in every outlet where Sky was presently offered.
Racing NSW chief executive Peter V'Landys said that if any wagering outlets did not accept both Sky and TVN's signals, whether due to increased costs or logistics issues, it would split the wagering audience in two and affect wagering turnover.

The Partnership Forum was established by the Premier of Western Australia in 2010. It acts as a focal point for building and maintaining the relationship between the public and not-for-profit community sectors and fostering collaboration and innovation in policy, planning and service delivery. The Forum achieves this through bringing together an equal number of senior representatives from State Government agencies and the not-for-profit community sector to address issues of mutual concern.
The Forum has adopted a set of Partnership Principles and Behaviours, including:
These principles engender a focus on community consultation on all significant issues and the engagement of citizens in the ongoing design, planning and delivery of human services.
The Partnership Forum is progressing a number of initiatives to support and strengthen the way in which services are provided to those who are vulnerable and in need in the WA community, including:
The idea for a Partnership Forum came out of the Economic Audit Committee (EAC) which was established by the current Liberal-National Government to provide advice regarding reform of the public sector and publicly-funded services. The report prepared by the EAC, Putting the Public First, made a wide range of recommendations that present both opportunities and challenges for the community services sector.
WACOSS welcomed the release of the EAC report as the principles set out in the report reflected much of what the sector called for in the WACOSS 2010-11 Pre-Budget Submission, Putting People First. The report recognised that not-for-profit organisations are efficient, cost effective providers of services and recommended the sector play a greater role in service delivery. The Government has indicated that it is critical for WACOSS to play a lead role in this process as the key sector representative and has given assurances that funding will be provided to cover the cost of involvement.
WACOSS played an important role to progress the EAC review process, making two submissions to the EAC following consultation with the WA Peaks Forum and WACOSS members. The first submission primarily argued that EAC recommendations are extremely wide-ranging and have the potential to reshape the relationship between the WA Government and the community services sector and those people accessing services. WACOSS' second submission to the EAC had a significant focus on the potential benefits and risks of a move towards client-directed services.
WACOSS is committed to ensuring that the community services sector is well represented and engaged in the Partnership Forum reform agenda. WACOSS is working closely with government on the implementation process of a number of initiatives, particularly in the area of sustainable funding and contracting reform through representing the community services sector on a number of Implementation Working Groups. Regular updates to members, including events and publications, are made available through our E-News.
