Favorite Mr. Nightlinger led from start to finish while defeating seven rivals in the $126,400 Aegon Turf Sprint (gr. IIIT) (VIDEO) at Churchill Downs May 2.
Mr. Nightlinger, who won by one length as the 9-5 choice, now owns back-to-back turf victories. Salute the Count checked in second by one length, while Atticus Kristy came running late to grab third.
W. Bret Calhoun trains the 4-year-old Indian Charlie colt for Carl R. Moore Management and Martin Racing Stable. Mr. Nightlinger came into the Turf Sprint off a front-running win in the April 13 Shakertown Stakes (gr. IIIT) over 5 1/2 furlongs on Keeneland's grass course. That was Mr. Nightlinger's first graded win.
"He's done it all," said Dennis Geier, assistant to Calhoun. "The turf might be his calling."
With Jamie Theriot aboard, Mr. Nightlinger completed the five furlongs in :56.18 after setting fractions of :22.63 and :44.72.
"It's really becoming his style to let him fall out of there," Theriot said. "He just places himself and that's where he wants to be. It looks like we have found a niche with him now – he's 2-for-2 going short on the turf."
Mr. Nightlinger, after bobbling a bit at the break, repelled a challenge at the top of the lane from Indian Ashton and held sway over the stalking Salute the Count, who was ridden by Kent Desormeaux. Atticus Kristy, a course and distance specialist for trainer Merrill Scherer, rallied from the back of the pack to get third under Edgar Prado.
"That winner ran a hole in the wind," Desormeaux said. "Even at the eighth pole I thought I had him, but he just kept on motoring. Too tough."
The winner, making his debut at at Churchill Downs, paid $5.60, $3.40, and $2.60. Salute the Count, trained by Richard Dutrow Jr., returned $4.40 and $3.40. Atticus Kristy was $4.20 to show.
Second choice Indian Ashton, expected to challenge Mr. Nightlinger for the early lead from his far outside post in the field of eight, had a nightmare start and spotted his rivals several lengths. The California invader bobbled at the break and hit the starting gate. After rushing up wide to challenge on the turn, Indian Ashton tired in the stretch to finish fourth.
"(Indian Ashton) was standing in there (at the starting gate) perfect and when they went, he just dropped down and we lost all those lengths," said jockey Julio Garcia. "He just dropped down and we missed the break."
The Nth Degree, Sgt. Bert, Demarcation and Funky Pirate trailed.
Brereton C. Jones bred Mr. Nightlinger in Kentucky. The bay, a $45,000 Keeneland yearling purchase in September 2005, is out of Timely Quarrel, by Time for a Change.
Earning $76,019 for his sixth win in 15 lifetime starts, Mr. Nightlinger has banked $320,015 in his career.

T.O.T.A.L. (Totally Outstanding Teen Advocates for the Library)
Problem StatementEducation in Tennessee is in crisis. Our current Metro administration has recognized the need to support students both in school and after school with constructive activities and additional study opportunities.
Working on the premise that no one communicates with teens better than other teens, the primary goal of T.O.T.A.L. (Totally Outstanding Teen Advocates for the Library) is to attract this hard-to-reach audience by employing teens to plan programs that speak to their peers through fun, thought-provoking and constructive activities hosted at various branches of the library.
Working in a shared leadership capacity, the teens receive professional development in conflict management, team building, public speaking, leadership skills, and conflict resolution. The T.O.T.A.L. teens are then responsible for researching, creating and implementing programming for the public, advocating for the library in the community and recruiting teen volunteers to work for the library system.
T.O.T.A.L. also developed and implemented "Teen Friendly" workshops for Nashville Public Library staff, to help them relate to teen users of the library, and created other programs for both younger and older audiences to bridge generational gaps.
Representatives from T.O.T.A.L. helped the library with its "Strategic Conversation," a long-range planning initiative, and T.O.T.A.L. teens serve on various systemwide library committees, representing a teen perspective.
The T.O.T.A.L. program is funded through the Nashville Public Library Foundation.

Ah! Now I know why they decided on marine biology for their university course.
Yay, Nanasaki next week! Finally!
Wait? Your not gonna blog the fact that Rihoko finally got her happy ending?
Miya the …blocker!
But the kiss was alright, if not a moment too soon…
Rihoko earned her happy end.
Next up, my fave, Ai! (I got something of a swimming girl fetish, totally unrelated to swimsuits… in fact just like certain swimmer prodigy from Umisho I prefer them skinny-dipping)
Oh sorry, something like that happened didn't it?
I wasn't paying full attention to the episode when I watched it.
The king of the sea? The white whale?!
The past two episodes were pretty much non-existant to me.
Wait, are you denying that Rihoko got a happy end?
No, I just didn't care about it enough.
I was actually very distracted around the second half of the episode.
I do not understand: why did Ruriko and Hiba take Marine Biology?
Because they love whales. Obviously.
I was waiting for a Miya-block in the whole night time scene. :(
I'm sorry but, I'm at a point in my life where every time I read the words "Marine Biology" I can't help to think of something on the lines of "ORA ORA" and "MUDA MUDA".
I appreciate the heads up on the upcoming arc. Though I guess it wouldn't hurt that much to watch the follow-ups of the arcs I skipped last season.

Benevolence backfires
Page Tools
A wheelchair-bound man was arrested on Wednesday after attacking and attempting to rob a man who tried to help him, Amsterdam police said.
The would-be good samaritan came home to find the man in a wheelchair with two flat tyres in front of his house in the centre of Amsterdam.
When he invited the man in for coffee, he was grabbed and his attacker demanded cash, police said.
When the host refused, he was stabbed.
"The two fell to the floor wrestling," police spokesman Leo Dortland said.
Neighbours heard the struggle and alerted police, who arrived while the pair were still grappling.
Dortland said a strange detail was that the man who was attacked had also spent years in a wheelchair before being fitted with prosthetic legs.
"They were total strangers. It's a bizarre case," Dortland said.
The host was treated for minor injuries and released.

A transmission method of magnetorheological (MR) fluid in cylindrical-type driven by shape memory alloy (SMA) spring with the thermal effect was proposed. The torque can change rapidly with temperature. Based on the thermal effect of SMA, the expression for displacement of SMA spring was established. The rheological property of MR fluid under the magnetic fields was described by Bingham model. Based on momentum equation, the shear flow of MR fluid between two cylinders was analyzed and the expressions of flow velocity and torque have been obtained. The experimental results show the output displacement of SMA spring and the transmit torque of MR fluid is directly proportional to the temperature and the applied magnetic field, respectively.

Callahan Wins $1.7 Billion For Colombia
If U.S. Senate OKs spending to fight rebels and drug traffickers, several Alabama firms could benefit, including coal company that ships through Mobile.
by Sam Hodges
Drummond Coal Co. of Jasper, Ala., which has a mining operation in Colombia, had been urging Callahan, R-Mobile, to get out front on the issue.
"Drummond has a huge investment in Colombia," Callahan said. He said he met with Colombian President Andres Pastrana in Washington in February, when Pastrana was lobbying for the aid package.
Also in the meeting was Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., a member of the foreign operations subcommittee chaired by Callahan.
Pastrana began the meeting by telling Pelosi he knew of her admiration for the novels of Colombian Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a Nobel Prize winner.
When it came time to address Callahan, Pastrana turned to him and said simply, "Drummond Coal."
Garry Neil Drummond, the company president, later personally escorted Pastrana and Colombia's ambassador to the United States, Luis Alberto Moreno, to meetings with Callahan in Washington.
Callahan recently went to Colombia to see for himself whether the aid package, strongly backed by President Clinton, was justified.
After touring the country and meeting with military officials, he decided it was, though he said he worries that if drug trafficking is curtailed there it might simply move to other South American countries.
Callahan acknowledged that Colombian aid is an Alabama issue, and even a Mobile issue, since Drummond is importing millions of tons of Colombian coal through the Alabama State Docks' McDuffie Island Terminal. Alabama Power is burning much of that coal at its Barry Steam Plant north of Mobile.
Callahan said there is no financial benefit for Drummond in the aid package, but added that the company has an interest in helping Pastrana stabilize a country where rebels and drug traffickers control large regions.
Mike House, a Washington, D.C., lobbyist for Drummond, agreed.
"You've got a coal mine in the middle of Colombia, you want a stable country," House said. Describing Pastrana as "a good person," House said, "he's doing the best he can in a bad situation."
House said Drummond's coal operation is a source of pride in Colombia.
"It's a legitimate business that is succeeding in employing people," he said. "It's kind of a showcase of what can happen if it's a stable country."
But the aid to Colombia comes as Drummond and other companies have scaled back coal mining operations in north Alabama, claiming high costs and depleted coal reserves.
Coal mining employment in Alabama dropped by 750 workers, or 18 percent, in 1999, according to United Mine Workers officials, who are concerned about the industry's future in the state.
The House approved an emergency $12.6 billion spending bill Thursday that includes $2.1 billion for the cost of keeping U.S. troops in Kosovo, and the $1.7 billion for Colombia.
The money for Colombia would provide equipment, including 63 helicopters, to military and police there.
Three Alabama companies could benefit from the package, according to John Cox, press aide to Sen. Jeff Sessions of Mo bile.
Cox identified those firms as U.S. Helicopter of Ozark, which rebuilds military helicopters; Sikorski Support Services of Troy, which trains helicopter pilots; and GKN Westland of Tallassee, which has a role in manufacturing a new helicopter that may be part of the package.
Sessions too has heard from Drummond officials about the Colombia aid package, Cox said. Sessions supports the package, but has been critical of President Clinton and Colombian leaders for what he sees as their lack of commitment to defeating the country's leftist rebels, Cox said.
The emergency spend ing bill now moves to the Senate, where its fate is uncertain. Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Pascagoula, has said he favors aid to Colombia, but objects to the size and scope of the emergency spending measure.
House members spent several hours this week debating the Colombia aid package, with advocates saying the money was necessary to curb the flow of cocaine and heroin into the United States, and detractors saying the drug war will only be won by reducing demand here.

June 29, 2010 — University of Virginia students and faculty members are taking significant steps toward improving water and sanitation facilities in developing nations. This summer, U.Va. students from various academic disciplines are traveling to South Africa's Limpopo province to address the region's issues of water quality and availability.
The students are part of the Jefferson Public Citizens program, which supports them in experiences that integrate service and research.
The first group will address whether it would be economically feasible to build a ceramic water filter factory in Limpopo. Produced and used in many other resource-limited settings, the ceramic filters are made from clay, water and a combustible material additive such as sawdust, rice husks or flour. The mixture is heated in a kiln to combust the organic material, creating tiny pores that allow water flow, but trap bacteria and other pathogens.
The first group of students will evaluate whether it would be a good business proposition to build a filter factory in Limpopo. They will assess the current quality of water in homes, determine whether community members would be interested in buying the filters and locate the proper clay that could be used to make the filters.
"The filter factories established in Third World locations have not always been successful," said James Smith, a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and an academic adviser for the study. "This summer, these students will actively investigate what parameters are most important in defining the success of a ceramic filter factory and then assess whether the Limpopo community would respond positively to the establishment of a filter factory."
Additionally, Smith is involved in a study being conducted in Limpopo that is attempting to evaluate the impact that the filter has on human health. Limpopo is a community that is especially relevant because there is a large population of people infected with HIV. Since patients who are HIV-positive have a weakened immune system, they are particularly susceptible to secondary infections caused by water-borne pathogens such as cryptosporidium, giardia and pathogenic strains of E. coli.
"The research being conducted on the filter's ability to improve the health of HIV-positive patients is a part of a collaborative research effort to improve the quality of water in Limpopo," said Lydia Abebe, a graduate student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering who will supervise the research in Limpopo this summer. "The results of this study will serve as the foundation for the ceramic filter economic feasibility study."
The second Jefferson Public Citizens group is planning to increase the quantity of water available to Limpopo communities. This group – which includes four systems engineering students who researched various methods for increasing the quantity of water in developing countries as a part of their senior capstone project – plans to install a slow sand filter for the community's use.
"After researching many options to increase the water supply, we are very optimistic about how the slow sand filter will serve the community in Limpopo," said Chris Gezon, a systems engineering graduate student. "What we really want to emphasize to the community during our visit this summer is the importance of taking the proper measures to ensure the sustainability of the filter. We hope that educating the community on the operation and maintenance of the filter will help the filter effectively provide increasing amounts of water to members of the Limpopo community."
Such visionary water and sanitation improvement plans are made possible though U.Va.'s strong relationship with the University of Venda in South Africa. This essential partnership is characterized by faculty and students from both universities working together to promote academics, research and community service, both in South Africa and the United States. The University of Venda is responsible for monitoring U.Va.-sponsored research projects in South Africa, linking U.Va. to the South African government, industry, nongovernmental organizations and local communities.
"The partnership between U.Va. and the University of Venda is critical to all of the research happening in Limpopo," said Dr. Rebecca Dillingham, an assistant professor in the School of Medicine's Infectious Disease Department. "We are continually working with University of Venda faculty and students on defining a common set of priorities to address the concerns of water quantity and quality in South Africa."
Also key to the success of the Limpopo province model is a mutual understanding of the cultural and institutional factors that promote the kind of development that both universities value. All of the research projects that are happening in Limpopo take considerable measures to keep the community informed and cater to their specific concerns about water, sanitation and health.
"Since many of the projects in Limpopo are community-based service learning projects, we want to ensure that the community is the priority," Dillingham said. "We are not interested in parachuting into the community and blindly implementing change. Ultimately, engaging the community from the beginning and maintaining a strong avenue of communication will enhance the collaborative effort to improve the quality and quantity of water available in South Africa."

The first series revealed a different "traumatic" past where he tested for a private school and failed the test.
Why does older Jun look so different from younger Jun? I just can't see them as the same character :/
That was actually explained in this episode; he dyed his hair and wears contacts instead of glasses.
…Why does he look so much like Emiya Shirou?
They've changed Jun's background in the original series, and now they went back to the manga version. After all, they seem to follow the manga fairly closely, although alt-Jun feels more pathetic than what I remember from the manga. Or perhaps they just drag the things a bit too much. At this pace, I wonder how many episodes until the best doll appears.
I feel Not Winded Jun is a very accurate depiction of someone that was a hikkikomori that grew up without anyone changing his life like Winded Jun did.
I hate to admit it, but I can understand quite a bit of his thought processes regarding other people and life…. so while I understand it's pathetic, I also see myself making the exact same choices too.
I always thought that Jun's trauma was blown out of proportions. Throwing up, not going to school, being afraid to step outside – all of this is quite a bit of overreaction considering that he wasn't even truly bullied. While the alt-Jun might be an adequate depiction of a social outcast trying to fit in, I just can't buy how he's got there, not to mention that he keeps showing quite extreme reactions. He might be a sensitive person, but there's a limit to everything.
Honestly, while the manga established all the same things, it didn't spend too much mulling over them. Not to mention that with the manga, it's reader's choice how fast one goes through the pages of the pathetic Jun. The anime, on the other hand, forces its pacing on the viewer and savors what I would call the more boring parts of the original material. And the contrast with the pacing of the first episode just makes the things worse.
It might be that they plan to only cover the unwinded world this season, which would explain why they drag the things a bit, but I'm not sure it's the parts they should be spending more time on, even if they're cheap production wise. There are trends indicating that even otakus are growing weary of pathetic MC's, so the audience pandering this show is trying is a bit out of touch.

3D printing is one of the most essential advances in living memory. The machines work by building an object from the molecular level up, printing tiny pieces of it until the whole is completed. A team of students from Belgium have printed a 3D printer car which not only runs, but strikes 60 mph from 0 in 4 seconds. Will you be in the market to sell or purchase a used or new auto? If this could be you, learn more on our websites at Spokane car!
Hold those fossil-fueled horses and 3D printer car is electric
Anybody recalls the food replicators in Star Trek: The Next Generation? An individual asked for a dish and it was produced for them out of thin air. Not only is it possible, it's here. It's called 3D printing.
Also called additive manufacturing and stereo lithography, according to Forbes, it first came out in the 1980s, and then referred to as rapid prototyping. Essentially, one feeds the promises to the machine, often from a computer-aided drafting or CAD program, and then the printer uses whatever material is federal reserve to it, such as plastic or metal, and constructs the product to specification, often creating layers at the molecular level, producing an object or components.
According to the Daily Mail, there has been a 3D printer vehicle created. It uses electric power too.
A quick vehicle
The vehicle is named the Areion and has an electric power train as a soapbox racer. It is not street legal, so do not try to get auto financing credit for it yet, according to Business Insider; it weighs only 617 pounds.
The vehicle was produced by engineers from a university. They went to 3D printing business Materialize and put the plans into the 3D printer.

The vehicle was taken to Englands Silverstone race circuit after initial screening and assembly and then to a Formula One German Gran Prix circuit. The vehicle took about three weeks to create with the 3D printer, and all they had to do was bolt on wheels and suspension and install en electric drive train.
The car goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds and hit a top speed of 87 mph.
Just press print
According to Inhabitat, there is a race called Formula Student where students can produce and enter race vehicles into races. The Areion is the entry that the students will be putting to the race.
3D printing is being used for a lot of goods, and cars may just be the next one. It will probably be a while before you have head to a dealer and print out your magic Toyota.
Leno utilizes 3D printing for parts of his cars that are out-of-production, according to Popular Science, and 3D printing is used for prototypes all the time. There are a lot of parts already made this way.

printing graphics to a postscript file
I made some contour plots with mathematica, and used the Export command to print them to
post script files. I labeled the x and y axes ([110],[001]) respectively. When I looked at the
post script files the [ ] symbols showed up as @ and D. Is there an easy way to fix this?
