Gulfstream: Take Charge Indy upsets Florida Derby; Union Rags third
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – He was right.
Trainer Patrick Byrne insisted for three weeks that his decision to scratch Take Charge Indy from the Tampa Bay Derby was the correct one, even if it meant rolling the dice on a Kentucky Derby berth against Union Rags and El Padrino in the Grade 1, $1 million Florida Derby on Saturday at Gulfstream Park.
And then Take Charge Indy and jockey Calvin Borel backed up Byrne's confidence by stealing the Florida Derby, leading from virtually start to finish in a race whose outcome will be debated right up to post time for the Kentucky Derby on May 5.
Take Charge Indy ($17.40) was best by one length over Reveron, with 2-5 favorite Union Rags third after a dreadful trip. El Padrino was fourth and was followed, in order, by Neck 'n Neck, Fort Loudon, News Pending, and Z Camelot.
Take Charge Indy completed 1 1/8 miles on the fast main track in 1:48.79.
"I know my horse. I knew he was ready. I knew he was fit and up to the task," said Byrne, who was equal parts satisfied, humble, and exasperated in his post-race comments, saying he told a reporter on Friday, "Do we have to talk about the Tampa Bay Derby for the rest of my life?"
Not now. Take Charge Indy won for just the second time in six starts, but he has been among the division's leaders throughout his career. And his victory was yet another stakes win for horses who competed in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile, which has become the biggest key race for Derby preps in years.
Take Charge Indy was fifth in the Breeders' Cup, and had run just once since then, in a first-level allowance at Gulfstream on Jan. 29, finishing second to El Padrino. So, the Florida Derby was his first start in more than two months.
"I didn't think he was going to have to run as hard as he did when he ran against El Padrino," Byrne said. "He needs five or six weeks between races. When he drew the 10 hole at Tampa" – which Byrne did not like – "he was doing so good, I thought, 'Why don't we take a shot in the Florida Derby?'"
Byrne had willing partners in owners Chuck and Maribeth Sandford, who gave him carte blanche. Byrne thought racing at Gulfstream would be beneficial, too, being as Take Charge Indy had run well here earlier in the meet.
But Take Charge Indy still had to defeat two of the leading lights among this year's Derby crop. Enter Borel. The winner of the Kentucky Derby three times in the last five years, Borel recognized the track profile at Gulfstream on Saturday and seized the lead leaving the gate. Reveron hounded him throughout, and briefly took the lead about a quarter-mile out, but Take Charge Indy had plenty left after six furlongs in 1:12.09.
"I knew if I could get 1:11 and 3, or 1:12, he'd finish," Borel said. "He needed that race last time. He's got a lot of potential, with his pedigree."
Take Charge Indy is by A.P. Indy and is out of the multiple stakes-winning mare Take Charge Lady.
Union Rags, who finished third, was in traffic for much of the race while between horses and only got free late. He also had to have his right hind shoe re-shod in the saddling paddock, which caused a minor delay..
"We were in traffic and they were riding me," said Julien Leparoux, who rode Union Rags. "It was just bad luck. Nobody paid any attention to the winner. They let him go. I guess they just target the favorite."
Michael Matz, the trainer of Union Rags, said Leparoux "said he was disappointed in himself, not the horse."
"He said he should have been closer to the pace the way the track is," Matz said. "Riders make mistakes.
"I didn't expect this to happen today, but I'm not going to trade with anybody, that's for sure."
El Padrino, the Risen Star winner, was outside of Union Rags, with jockey Javier Castellano – who used to ride Union Rags – keeping the favorite bottled up. But when Castellano asked El Padrino to take advantage of that position, he had nothing.
"He was flat. I don't know why," Castellano said.
"He just didn't finish," said Todd Pletcher, who trains El Padrino. "We'll see how he comes out of it and decide where to go from there."
--additional reporting by Mike Welsch
Ok, union rag's got beat because of jockey era !!..And I'll tell you why . L. hard helt him for about 3/8's of a mile down on the rail and than when time to do the real running he encountered traffic problems until the last 1/16th of a mile and that decided to make a run for the wire !...The stragery of old didn't work this time. so, he got beat cause of the little era of jockey !..I've watch the review tape from start to finish and that's my assessment of the race. Ok, I can forgive the jockey and hope he won't make the same mistake...move on !
In days not too long ago Casellano would have been flattened in the jock's room after that mess.
Union Rags made up a quarter lenth with every jump after getting outside of the second place horse.
You have the favorite in the Florida Derby, ride the horse! Bad ride from Leparoux, not surprised because he does this often.
having used the winner and El Padrino in the pk4, i was paying close attention to those two. to be honest, i thought JJ on padrino was purposely keeping union rags blocked in. once Rags got free, he closed like a frieght train. he probably got more out of this race finishing 3rd than he would of if he won.
I think rags will rebound. Poor ride but every jockey deserves a second chance
Let us not forget..... this is not the "Derby" that "Rags" is aiming at !! nuf said
Union Rags did not change leads till about the 1/8th pole. Bad ride yes, jock could have gone to or near the lead first time past the grandstand, but Rags obviously regressed. Let's see how he bounces back.
Why did officials at GP not tell us about the fav needing re-shod in paddock? If it was announced on network tv it did not come across the simulcast network.
no doubt this was a weird race,but a lot of these preps are,trainers and jockeys are trying to teach the true derby contenders how to rate puting them into tough spots on purpose so they learn for the big dace,while others with no shot in the derby are full out going for the prize money and black type,some need graded earnings to get in others dont and just want a decent stepping stone type result,the derby itself is a crap shoot rags could draw the rail and loose 70% of any chance he had,the best horse today might be a horse thats peaked as a 3 yo,while others are developing fast and catching up,the best we can do is stick with what works,usualy the race is won by a horse that is bred to stay the dist,trained by a top trainer and has the fundation to peak at the right time,most derby winners are bred on a few trends northern dancer on mr prospector,or vice versa,the hope your horse finds a decent trip,doent get into a speed duel,and doesnt draw the dreaded one hole,after looking at lucky im convinced its bad news,i know ferdinand won from there but there are no shoemakers in this day and age,if you bet the aberations,horses bred to sprint /mile or mudd larks (super saver,mine that bird) or plodders who need the race to fall apart,(giacomo) the get the apropriate odds.

Pack Inks Six for 2013-14
May 15, 2013
RENO, Nev. - The University of Nevada Swimming and Diving team will have six new faces during the 2013-14 season, as head swimming coach Abby Steketee announced the completion of her recruiting class on Wednesday.
"There are three overarching qualities of the incoming class," she said. "First, these young ladies are extremely versatile; each can compete in a variety of individual events and relays. Second, this is an intelligent group with strong academic interests. Third, each one of these student-athletes has a bit of sparkle personality-wise. Our entire coaching staff is thrilled to welcome such a bright, talented group and I personally am excited to help each reach her goals in and out of the pool."
The swimmers in the group are Teresa Baerens (Ottobrun, Germany), Sophia Cieplucha (Georgetown, Canada), Riley Hilbrandt (Saginaw, Mich.), Sita Kusserow (Buehl, Germany) and Arantxa Medina-Alegria (Hermosillo, Mexico). The lone diver among the six is Xiao Fu (Weifang, China). Fu was primarily recruited by Jian Li You, Nevada's head diving coach and a native of China.
Baerens is a freestyle swimmer who has posted the equivalent of two US Olympic Trials cuts to date. In the 100 meter freestyle, she has recorded a personal best of 57.04 in a long-course pool, which equates to a 50.42 time in yards. Internationally, swimmers compete in races measured in meters, while in American collegiate swimming, every race is measured in yards. In the 200 meter IM, she has recorded a personal best of 2:17.86, which translates to 2:00.90 in yards.
"In addition to being an accomplished musician and student, Teresa is an elite swimmer with room for even more improvement," Steketee said. "She has the capability to reach the highest level of swimming."
Cieplucha has primarily competed in breaststroke and IM events, posting the equivalent of one Olympic Trial cut in the 200 breaststroke. Her personal best of 2:29.41 in short course meters equates to a time of 2:14.36 in yards. She also has a personal best of 1:03.48 in the 100 breast after the conversion.
"Sophie is tremendously versatile and has potential to develop in many events beyond the breast and free," Steketee said. "She does not have a weak stroke and we're excited to have someone with her maturity and ability join us next year."
Hilbrandt could swim a variety of events at Nevada, as she has experience in the breaststroke, freestyle and individual medley disciplines. With her versatility, she will also be a humungous benefit to Nevada's relay teams. In the 200 yard freestyle, she boasts a personal best of 1:52.60 while her best 200 yard breaststroke is 2:19.92.
"Riley possesses a natural fluidity in the water even though she has a more limited training background," Steketee said. "Riley is delightfully sweet on land but she's tenacious in the water. As she elevates her training, she'll be dangerous in many events."
Kusserow, a butterfly and medley swimmer, has posted her strongest times in the 200 meter butterfly. Her time of 1:59.74 after the conversion to yards is good enough to qualify for the US Winter Nationals during the 2013 season, and her 2:16.16 long course time would have been a 2012 Olympic Trials cut swim.
"Sita is vibrant and motivated," Steketee said. "She is serious about academics and continues to improve her times in various events. Her swimming ability will have an immediate impact on the team and over time I think she'll develop into an effective leader."
Medina-Alegria shined brightest in sprint-breaststroke events during her junior career in Mexico. Both her 100 and 200 meter breast times are good enough to earn a place at the most recent Olympic Trials. Her 100 long course time equates to a 1:02.39, while her 200 long course time breaks down to a 2:15.62.
"Ary brings speed and experience to the team," Steketee said. "She is innately quick and is dedicated to working on technical details; overall, she has the right characteristics to flourish at the NCAA and international levels. Plus, Ary has a strong academic background and thoughtful personality. "
Fu will round out the class with another strong diver to add to the Nevada stable. She will contribute international experience and a list of dives with a high degree of difficulty to an already strong group. A Nevada diver has been named conference diver of the year in each of the last two seasons, with En-tien Huang in 2012 (WAC) and Stephanie Hansen in 2013 (Mountain West).

CA NOW Opposes Prop30: "Proposition30 is a doubling down on the school-to-prison pipeline"
Proposition 30 supporting by Governor Brown, many corporations and the unions is a "doubling down on the school-to-prison pipeline".
CA NOW Opposes Prop 30: "Proposition 30 is a doubling down on the school-to-prison pipeline"
The main argument that proponents of Prop 30 are making is that if it is not passed, mandatory trigger cuts will go into effect, destroying public education because there will be no money to fund schools. So why wouldn't we be on board telling our members that they MUST vote YES?
Well, to begin with, the trigger cuts are NOT mandatory and funding for schools - particularly community colleges, Cal states and the UC system - will still be there even if Prop 30 doesn't pass. The first pot of money comes from Prop 39 (polling is off the charts and will pass). The other is Prop 38 which not only gives more money to k-12 and early education but actually delivers more funding to the General Fund than Prop 30.
There is too much at stake to pretend that Prop 30 is just about school funding and closing the budget gap. The truth is - Proposition 30 is about constitutionalizing the 2011 Public Safety Realignment. That means the $6.2 billion allocated for the 2011 Public Safety Realignment will be permanently allocated leaving a $6.2 billion budget hole when the taxes expire. The Public Safety Realignment is bad policy. A prison relocation program that permanently removes the $6.2 billion from the general fund and equally, if not more importantly, authorizes between $7-20 billion in local prison construction bonds that state tax payers will be forced to pay if counties and cities cannot.
Proposition 30 is a doubling down on the school-to-prison pipeline, with potentially generations of children lost while the Corrections Corporation of America profits (a funder of Prop 30). Cities and Counties over the past year have been opting to borrow money to build new jails. That debt is paid for by generating income from housing prisoners. The 2011 Public Safety Realignment sets up economic incentives to increase the number of prisoners – that means increasing prison spending rather than reducing prison spending.
It is true that if Prop 30 passes, the $6 billion taken from the general fund for the 2011 Public Safety Realignment will be "returned" to public schools, community colleges and universities. Taking the money originally was a way of holding hostage education funding to force women to vote YES on prop 30. As the Legislative Accounting Office has shown, after the tax increases end, there will be a $6 billion hole in the General Fund.
Prop 38 not only provides $136.9 billion for k-12 and early education compared to $17 billion under Prop 30 but Prop 38 provides $27.4 billion to the State Budget compared to $22.5 billion under Prop. 30. In addition, Prop 38 does not add the $7-20 plus billion in bond debt for unnecessary prison construction that are authorized by the 2011 Public Safety Realignment.
When you work as closely as we do in Sacramento, you learn very quickly that money plays an important role in outcomes. The healthcare industry has invested almost $3 million in this initiative (30) with the prison industry kicking in $400,000 and the beverage industry giving over $1 million.

"…Analogue Productions has produced some of the best sounding piano on SA-CD, and this one is no exception. If you want to listen to Bill Evans' story you owe it to yourself to buy all three discs ('Saturday At The Village Vanguard' and 'Waltz For Debbie' are the other two)." ~sa-cd.net
…this is still one of the best-sounding SACDs I have had the pleasure of hearing. Actually, audience noises and clicking of glasses only add to the feeling of "being THERE", much more so than, say, in the audiophile classic Jazz at the Pawnshop, Vol. 1 - Arne Domnerus in its newer (2005) remastering. Recommended!
"Most of the APO analog to DSD conversions are great, but this one is probably the best from a sonic perspective. And if you like jazz trio's with articulate bass playing and a clear and purposeful piano technique, then you are in for a treat. This is a live recording set at the New York Village Vanguard jazz club with accompanying audience 'participation', though that never distracts. The Stereo separation is rather absolute left/right, with the piano in the right speaker and the rest in the left. There is virtually no center image…." ~sa-cd.net
Cardboard sleeve (mini LP) reissue from Bill Evans featuring the high-fidelity SHM-CD format (compatible with standard CD players) and the latest 24bit/96kHz digital remastering. Comes with bonus track(s). Part of a 5-album Bill Evans SHM-CD cardboard sleeve reissue series featuring albums "I Will Say Goodbye," "Alone (Again)," "Intuition," "Re: Person I Knew," and "Jazzhouse." The title refers to the Michel Legrand piece performed twice on the date, and to the fact that pianist Bill Evans was on the verge of switching labels from Fantasy to Warner Bros.
This release presents two rare performances by Bili Evans in Northern Europe. The initial three tuner, appearing here on CD for the first time ever, were recorded during an informai visit to the house of Finnish composer Ilkka Kuusisto in Helsinki, Finland. The rest of the tracks present a hard to find concert in Lund, Sweden, previously available only on a limited Japanese edition.

An Open Letter to the Girls Who Stole the Disabled Boy's Wagon in Belmar
In case you missed it yesterday, a disabled 6-year-old boy's wagon was stolen from his front yard in Belmar by two girls over Labor Day Weekend, and it was all caught on tape.
This story has a lot of people very upset, understandably, but we all need to take a minute and be rational.
To the two girls who stole the wagon,
First, realize I am calling you girls because it is clear that in doing what you did, you acted like children, and not the adults you may legally be. That being said, let's put it out there. You f'ed up. Badly.
People are incredibly mad at you, and have said some nasty things online that I'm sure they would never say to your face. Such is life in 2013. That being said, I'm not mad at you. I feel bad for you, and I don't think you should be 'punished.' I'll tell you why.
I can't be sure, but considering you were stumbling along 16th Ave. in Belmar at 1:28 a.m. in the wee hours of Labor Day Monday, chances are good that you spent the night partying, and were at least a little intoxicated.
It wasn't too long ago when I was a drunken idiot in Belmar, and while I never stole anything (that I can recall), I'm sure I did things that I would be ashamed of if I were sober. I'm okay with that, I say 'live and learn.' I'm grateful that I never had a camera catch any of my antics.
I'd like to think you would never have stolen that wagon if you knew it belonged to a little boy, especially if you knew he was disabled, and used that wagon as a source of transportation because it makes him feel more normal than when he's in his wheelchair.
Maybe you took turns sitting in the bucket seat of that wagon yourselves, laughing at how ridiculous you looked, but wanting someone to pull you in it because your feet hurt. Maybe you used it to cart some booze to your after party. Or maybe you took it for sh*ts and giggles.
It doesn't really matter why. Unfortunately for you, you got caught in the act. That's why this is so bad. People can't see your drunkenness. They can't see that in the daylight you might be perfectly lovely individuals.
In the video, they see two heartless bitches who stole from a little disabled boy for no reason.
Don't fight it. At 1:28 a.m. on Labor Day morning, you were heartless, disrespectful, mean girls. Just own it.
And make it right.
If you still have the wagon, and it's still in perfect, working shape, then clean it up and return it. If you don't have it, buy a new one. I'd recommend putting a giant bow on it, and putting a cool toy in it, and maybe a restaurant or store gift card of some kind, along with a card. That card should contain a heartfelt apology that the two of you come up with on your own.
You should take all of that back to the house you stole from, ring the doorbell, and face the music. Apologize to that little boy's parents, and to the little boy himself.
His name is Alex, by the way. You should spend some time with him, and apologize to his face for taking his wagon that he loves so much. Maybe take him for a walk around town in his wagon.
And you should pay his parents back for the fence post you broke. We all saw that too.
You should probably apologize in public too, just for your own sakes.
It sucks that you made a drunken mistake, but you don't have a time machine, so you can't undo it. You can only try to make up for it, and hope the Bean family will forgive you. As for the maniacs online, ignore them. They'll find someone new to gang up on eventually.
Good luck. I hope you do what's right.
Laurie Cataldo

UPDATE (12:48 p.m.): Patch is reporting that one of the girls went to the home and bought young Alex a brand new wagon, still in the box, along with a letter of apology. Alex's mom Tracy chose not to identify her, but told them, 'I'm moved to tears. All is right…She was very sincere. She said they just didn't think about it at the time. This just couldn't have turned out better…That's all we wanted. I'm very, very, very, grateful and happy.'
Awesome. This is why I have faith in people!

As people defend Mars Hill's policy on church discipline and consider those similar policies of other churches, there is a big assumption being made. The common refrain is often that Mars Hill and churches like them are simply being "biblical" in their approach. This seems to be the home base that they and their supporters tag every time there is a challenge to their methodology.The assumption that I propose, is that the very existence of not only Mars Hill but every other church that boasts … [Read more...]

Phantom Deity Disorder
The other day while having dinner with friends I subconsciously reached my hand toward the attractive woman seated next to me. It was an effort to steal a private moment of affection with my wife by a brief grasp of her hand. Everything was perfect except for the fact that the woman sitting next to me was not my wife nor was she of any romantic interest at all. To her, my flaccid and foreign gesture would have seemed like an invitation to bow our heads and say grace. Fortunately, just as I was … [Read more...]

The lengths Paul Krugman will go to further the lie that the rich don't pay their "fair share" of taxes knows no bounds.
In his New York Times column Friday, the Nobel laureate in economics claimed, "[T]he federal tax burden has fallen for all income classes":
The [Congressional] budget office's numbers show that the federal tax burden has fallen for all income classes, which itself runs counter to the rhetoric you hear from the usual suspects. But that burden has fallen much more, as a percentage of income, for the wealthy. Partly this reflects big cuts in top income tax rates, but, beyond that, there has been a major shift of taxation away from wealth and toward work: tax rates on corporate profits, capital gains and dividends have all fallen, while the payroll tax -- the main tax paid by most workers -- has gone up.
Really? Well let's look at some of the CBO's numbers:
This first chart totally destroys the liberal orthodoxy that taxes have shifted from the rich to lower income earners since the Reagan revolution began. In fact, nothing can be further from the truth.
"Total federal tax liabilities" include income taxes, corporate taxes, social insurance taxes, and excise taxes. As you can plainly see, the share of these taxes paid by all quintiles EXCEPT the highest one has declined since 1979.
By contrast, the top quintile has seen its share of total payments go from 56.4 percent in 1979 to 69.3 in 2006. The wealthiest one percent have seen their share go from 15.4 percent in 1979 to 28.3 percent in 2006.
But they don't pay their "fair share."
Now let's break this down:
Notice how the two lowest quintiles have seen their share of individual income taxes go negative. This is because the lowest 40 percent of wage earners on average are receiving money from the federal government rather than paying income taxes, a dramatic shift since Reagan was first elected.
Notice, too, how that quintile in the middle has seen its share drop from 10.7 percent in 1979 to 4.4 percent in 2006. Yet the top quintile has gone from 64.9 percent to 86.3 percent, with the wealthiest one percent seeing its share more than double from 18.3 percent to 39.1 percent.
But they don't pay their "fair share."
Now let's look at social insurance taxes (Medicare, Social Security, unemployment):
The lowest quintile still pays roughly the same percentage it did in 1979, while the next three quintiles have shown modest declines.
Not surprisingly, ALL of the gain has come from the top quintile going from 35.9 percent in 1979 to 43.5 percent in 2006. The richest one percent saw their contribution go from 1.3 percent to 4.0 percent.
But they don't pay their "fair share."
Now let's look at corporate income taxes:
Once again, the four bottom quintiles - or 80 percent of Americans! - saw their share decline since 1979. But not the top quintile, which saw its share of corporate income taxes go from 76.5 percent in 1979 to 87.2 percent in 2006. The top one percent saw their share go from 37.8 percent to 57.1 percent.
But they don't pay their "fair share."
As for federal excise taxes:
No really significant changes here.
Add it all up, and the Reagan revolution has actually been quite beneficial for almost all Americans when it comes to federal taxes EXCEPT for the upper income earners who have seen their share of the total collected do nothing but go up.
Yet folks like Krugman continue to report the opposite:
And one consequence of the shift of taxation away from wealth and toward work is the creation of many situations in which -- just as Warren Buffett and Mr. Obama say -- people with multimillion-dollar incomes, who typically derive much of that income from capital gains and other sources that face low taxes, end up paying a lower overall tax rate than middle-class workers. And we're not talking about a few exceptional cases.
Actually, as NewsBusters reported Wednesday, the liberal think tank the Brookings Institution believes this could be as low as 1,000 people.
Given that there are almost 237,000 millioniares, 0.4 percent is indeed "a few exceptional cases."
Does Krugman ever get anything right?
*****Update: I've gotten some feedback that Krugman's point was the rich's tax burden has declined because their incomes have risen at a faster rate than lower wage earners. I agree with that, but believe this conflates the issue.
If you're asking me for more money, you are putting an increased burden on me regardless of what my income does.
The important number here is how much the percentage of the total tax collected paid by upper earners has increased in the past several decades. Whether their income has grown at a faster rate doesn't mean that their burden of paying an ever increasing percentage of the taxes collected has diminished.
That's like saying my healthcare expenses - which go up every year! - have actually declined because my income is growing at a faster rate.
In my view, that's silly - even for a Nobel laureate.
However, my original headline was misleading and has been amended. What Krugman said wasn't false, it was just inconsequential in relation to today's discussion about millionaire taxation.

The Brit discussed his Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome (Wolf's heart) which took him out of his recent scheduled fight with Matt Brown at UFC on Fox 7 and what his MMA and UFC fighting future is looking like. Hardy also talked about his Ayahuasca experience in Peru and the change in perspective he now has toward fighting. As on many Rogan podcasts, the topics of aliens, DMT, Justin Bieber and the purpose of man's existence were also explored.

Man trampled to death by elephant
20:34 25/08/2014
Johannesburg - A man is believed to have been trampled to death by an elephant in the Mapungubwe National Park and World Heritage Site in Limpopo, SA National Parks said in Monday.
Rangers in the western part of the park found the body of a Zimbabwean man, in his early 40s, on Saturday, spokesperson Divhani Maremba said in a statement.
"It is believed that he might have been trampled to death by an elephant. A Zimbabwean passport and a cellphone were discovered in his possession."
It was believed he had been with a group of people because a number of footprints were visible nearby.

SunshinyDay 2014/08/26 09:44:57 AM
Why was he there, Tavengwa? Why did the group he was with not report his death? A group with noble intentions would not have been there, and they certainly would have reported the incident.
Nceba Mbane 2014/08/26 09:52:05 AM
Well Chivirira, me, in an encounter between a man a wild animal, where such encounter takes place out in the wild, I shamelessly root for the wild animal.
Itumeleng Pitsoane 2014/08/26 11:00:54 AM

At a Veteran Job Fair, you can begin the selection process with what is normally one of the final stages of a face-to-face meeting with the candidate. We present these events in cooperation with leading corporations, news media, industry associations, veterans organizations, and government agencies. All Veteran Job Fairs take place in major military markets. To attract job candidates to the fairs, we promote the events intensively to our huge database of registered candidates, and we run display ads in major newspapers in the areas where they will take place.
Why Hire Veterans?
If you are not familiar with hiring veterans, we would like to share three reasons why military personnel will make great employees for your organization:
- Well-trained. Veterans possess skills that are critical for an organization to succeed. They are trained to be mission-oriented and to work as a team. They possess critical skills for organizational success including discipline, responsibility, respect, and unparalleled work ethic.
- Skills that overlap. Veterans have been trained in specific skills that greatly overlap civilian work. Whether driving an 18-wheel tractor-trailer or leading an organization in an executive position, the military provides people with the training to be successful in trades, as well as the experience and conditioning required for management positions.
- Diverse backgrounds. The military employs a highly diverse workforce. Approximately 45% of our candidates are women and/or ethnic minorities, enabling you to connect with skilled and diverse candidates through our events.

The Hire More Heroes Act is misguided. There is no veterans' unemployment crisis.
"Americans may be shocked to learn that there is no veterans' unemployment crisis. The unemployment rate in 2014 for post-9/11 veterans was 7.2 percent, the lowest level in seven years of tracking these veterans. "
What Government Should Actually Do To Support Veterans' Employment
"The latest crisis at the Department of Veterans Affairs has called into question again the proper role of government in the care of our veterans. Whereas healthcare is clearly in shambles, veterans' employment is another realm in which well-meaning government involvement has been inefficient at best and ineffective or counterproductive at worst. "
Employment and Returning Veterans
"Peter Gudmundsson talked about the availability of jobs for returning service members."
Beyond Altruism
"Among the fondest memories Peter Gudmundsson '85 has of his three years as an active-duty U.S. Marine officer was the time in 1987 when, off the coast of Vietnam, he stood on the deck of a U.S. Navy ship looking up at the Soviet planes flying overhead. What was particularly memorable, he says, was not the plane flying overhead, but the reaction of the men in his platoon"
Money For Lunch
"Money for Lunch host Bert Martinez interviewed Peter Gudmundsson. Discussed veteran hiring."
Helping veterans overcome job search challenges
"Mike Rollins is featured on America Now. Recently, America Now visited a RecruitMilitary job fair held at the Hurst Conference Center in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. "
RecruitMilitary Hosts a Hiring Our Heroes Event in Minneapolis
"NBC 11 (KARE) - RecruitMilitary is hosting "Hiring Our Heroes - Minneapolis," a hiring fair for veterans and military spouses."
Job Fair Helps Local Veterans Transition from Battlefield to Boardroom
"ABC 5 (KSTP)/ ABC 6 (KAAL) - What veterans say they often need help with, is translating their military skills to the professional world. From CenterPoint Energy, Siemens, General Electric, Phillips Medisize, Mayo Clinic, TCF Bank, to Minneapolis Police, some 60 companies were on hand looking for a few good men and women."
TN veterans face tough battle to find employment
"By Naomi Snyder Terry Pack was an aircraft mechanic serving in the Army in Iraq, spending two of the last six years in combat overseas. Now that he's done his service for the country, he can't even get a job doing oil changes at Sears. "It's tough,'' said the unemployed Clarksville veteran, who was honorably discharged in January. "I've been looking for any job." A congressional hea..."
Veterans and Jobs
"Matt Murphy, RecruitMilitary's Senior VP of Business Development and Sales is a guest on Washington Journal to talk about a recent report that shows the jobless rate for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is over eleven percent. He talks about connecting employers, educational institutions, and franchisors to veterans because of their character, skills and training, diversity, and securi..."

Muslim Channel
Occupy Islam: Activism in the Face of Apathy
There is a frustration bubbling among the most active Muslims, and, strangely enough, it stems more from the inaction of the Muslim American community itself than from marginalization by ignorant Americans. "There seems to be a disturbing amount of apathy when it comes to issues," explains Imraan Siddiqqui, a journalist for the Voice of America. "Many think the best way to react to a hostile environment is to ride the situation out, and that this will all pass."
Well, the rancor toward the Muslim community in this country has not passed; in fact anti-Muslim sentiment is on the rise. Muslim Americans have whiled away the past decade 'reacting' to a post-9/11 world—these responses include heaping blame on the 'radical right' for pushing Islamophobia into the mainstream. Yet, little time has been dedicated to reflecting on the role we ourselves play in shaping our status as a community or to developing a bold, proactive public relations campaign to squash hateful attitudes toward Muslim Americans.
Not only do we tend to deflect responsibility onto another actor in a time of crisis, but we also fail to give a comprehensive and timely response to the media and general public. Our timid approach in defining ourselves as a community only gives others the opportunity to seize the headlines. Eboo Patel, Interfaith Youth Core Founder and President, points out one salient example of our collective delayed reaction. "It took Muslims a full three months to figure out a strategy to counter the campaign against Cordoba House, otherwise known as "the Ground Zero Mosque."
The construction of a mosque near Ground Zero or a Peter King hearing should not occur every few months to remind Muslims how poorly they are perceived.
However, with time comes wisdom, and the past year has reinvigorated hope throughout the Muslim Ummah. The ethos left behind by the Arab Spring deserves the largest share of credit for shaking Muslim Americans out of our fatalistic, apathetic attitudes and into a more empowered state. The string of government overthrows in the Middle East transgressed the paradigms of democracy and geographical region, inspiring Muslims around the globe to stand up and speak out, notes James Zogby in his piece, "Arab Spring Effect."
In cheering on our Muslim brothers and sisters in the Middle East, both from our televisions and from the streets, Muslim Americans regained a sense of community that the routine of everyday life usually washes away and we realized the power of solidarity. Daniel Tutt, Huffington Post contributor and Unity Production Outreach Director, highlights the importance of a presenting a unified, cohesive front in the successes of both the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street:
The act of occupying, of coming together face-to-face in our social media driven lives, enables a break with the political layer of affects. Coming together with major numbers (numbers now matter) and occupying public spaces leaves an effective impact.
Upon seeing what bold collective action can accomplish, Muslim Americans have indeed become increasingly politically and socially engaged in 2011, according to a Gallup poll. The community was provoked many times throughout the year and with each incident we began to shed our reliance on the victim card and faced the problem head-on. For example, in early January, a dozen New York Muslim leaders boycotted Mayor Bloomberg's annual interfaith breakfast due to the mayor "ignoring concerns that the New York Police Department has been using racial profiling and violating civil rights in its anti-terrorism surveillance programs."

We live in a world where the connections up and down the supply chain, as well as inside companies and outside to the world around them, are increasingly important. In this paper, we highlight five issues that we believe will play an important part in determining the difference between manufacturing excellence, adequacy or mediocrity.
Common to all five is the importance of companies engaging and connecting better with customers, suppliers and the world around them. If your business is successful in making the connections, you have the opportunity to gain ground and move ahead of your peers in distinctive and tangible ways. If your business is disconnected or fails to engage, you will miss opportunities to achieve excellence or, worse, face the danger of ticking time bombs that could fatally disrupt production and supply.

So, there's this designer I heard about from a friend in the South End and he told me all about Marisa Danielle of Pistachio. Marisa is a Boston girl with style that oozes so much oh-la-la that you just have to break yourself off a piece of glam yourself by shopping the goods on her website. Take a big lover of vintage goods, mix in lots of precious embellishments, add Marisa's fairy dust (her extra special style), and viola! handbags, headbands, bauble rings, and perfect little hair pins. She sells her one-of-a-kinds at a gadzillion shops around the country, so if you don't spot something on her website that suits you, click here for other web, as well as brick 'n mortar, locations.
By the way, isn't this a sweet photo? Gotta love that decor!

Victim accidentally shoots self
St. Petersburg, Florida - St. Pete police say 39-year-old Richard Summers saved his own car from being stolen, but shot himself in the leg during a struggle with the suspect.
Police responded to 10265 Gandy Blvd. North after a report of a burglary suspect being held by the vehicle owner around 6am.
Upon arrival officers found Summers holding down the suspect after suffering a gunshot wound to the upper right leg. Police learned that the suspect, 18-year-old Marlos M. Conrad, followed Summers' fiancee to the complex.
Conrad then allegedly pulled up next to the GMC Yukon Denali owned by Mr. Summers. Police say when the car's alarm was activated, the fiancee called for Summers, who came out armed with a hand gun.
According to the report, Summers then pulled Conrad out of the vehicle and the two began to tussle, which led to Summers shooting himself in the upper right leg.
Police say he still managed to subdue Conrad until they arrived.
Detectives later learned Conrad was wanted in connection with two other car thefts in Tampa.
I bet he would rather have the insurance check now!
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
I would be rethinking the gun and ammo I was carrying if I was shot in the leg and still able to get the upper hand on the BG.

Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.

Interesting how they call that "accidentally shots himself"
Should have been something like "man legally carrying a firearm injured while subduing a dirt bag criminal...said dirt bag criminal will be held liable and criminally responsible for the injury"
sounds like a really great guy for our side. get well quick brother.

The suspect was already involved in two previous attempts? Why should these animals be able to keep wasting O2? The sooner the 'lead mangnents' start collecting, the better...

We recently took a holiday with my parents to their vacation home in Las Vegas. It was so soothing. We even made time for a round of family-style miniature golf! The break was so good for my head. I took advantage of the long desert drive, and focused on self reflecting and goal evaluating, something I usually find too distracting to attempt in the chaos of home.
It's 2014 now, and Adam and I are on the verge of making some great changes in our lives, and the prospect of new business ventures awaits us. With most changes (at least for me) change often accompanies fear. Even in the face of positive change, the unknowingness that comes with changes makes my skin feel one size to small and it's difficult to breathe it all in. To quote Jack Canfield: "Everything you want is on the other side of fear." This is when I know I'm headed in the RIGHT direction, even though I can't quite see what lies in the road up ahead.
We have also been putting great awareness and focus on our health and longevity. I am experiencing the amazing glowing benefits of becoming raw vegan, something I have become increasingly passionate about. These past 6 months I have been living on a great abundance of nothing but local organic fruits and raw vegetables, and I've never felt closer to nature or more in tune with my body. I haven't shared much of that here, as I'm not sure it's the right platform. But if you are interested in learning more or have questions I'll be happy to respond in the comments.
I am so very excited to see what this new year brings. I hope it is one filled with happiness and laughter, and all the joy that life brings. Thank you for joining me here. You are the bright spot in my day : )
Till next time, click and keep up with us on our favorite sites…

Research Summary
My scholarly interests lie in the areas of clinical microbiology, especially point-of-care testing; and medical education.
Emerging technology has enormously expanded the array of tests available at the point of care, e.g. 'bedside testing,' in recent years; currently over 40 analytes and over 300 kits and instruments are available as 'waived' tests, which can be performed with minimal regulation. These and a number of more-complex tests are all performed at the 'point-of-care'. New methods for testing for pathogens such as HIV have had a major impact on screening and diagnosis of infectious diseases, but the impact of these tests on health and on the logistics and economics of health care remains unclear in many cases. Emerging technologies for simplifying and automating technologies such as molecular diagnostics, DNA arrays, and mass-spectroscopic methods are likely to cause continued growth in the range and complexity of tests performed outside of traditional laboratory settings. There is a continuing need for research and standards development in this rapidly-advancing area of diagnostic medicine.
In medical education, my work has focused on bringing active learning strategies into the basic science classroom, including microbial songs. I've also been active in developing guidelines for resident education in clinical pathology.

I am disappointed in a report that I read recently that stated that the Cost of Living Adjustment for every congressman recently went up to $550.22 a month. That is contrasted with the COLA received by senior citizens of a paltry $63 per month.
When you consider that the congressional COLA is in some cases more than some seniors citizens — especially surviving widows — have as their total monthly income, the comparison becomes very stark. And when you further consider the baseline from which the COLA was made, it becomes very clear that there is a great inequity being perpetrated upon senior citizens.
Another issue is that every time senior citizens receive a COLA, their total health care costs in the form of Medicare fees also rise. Somewhere this inequity must stop; senior citizens must be given the same consideration as members of Congress in-so-far-as COLAs are concerned.
Our elected officials must take care to ensure that they are truly representing their constituents, the ones who voted them into office, and not feathering their own nests, lest they find themselves on the outside looking in.
Lawmakers do pay 8 percent of their salaries into their pension system, although this only compensates for about one-fifth of the typical lifetime benefit. We cover the rest as taxpayers. Members of Congress also began to pay into Social Security in 1983, as part of a government-wide pension overhaul.
In addition, members of Congress do not draw the "same pension" as their pay in the last year of office as suggested in a rumor circulating on the Internet; only federal judges do that under the term "retirement pay." Still, the formula is quite generous, and, with 20 to 25 years, a member of Congress could retire with up to 80 percent of his or her salary replaced.
Of course, the only cap on how fast their benefits rise is the rate of increase in CPI. For this reason, congressional pensions can and frequently do exceed a member's final salary, but only after a few years in retirement, when COLAs begin to kick in.
In the final analysis, Congressional pension benefits are two to three times more generous than what a similarly-salaried executive could expect to receive upon retiring from the private sector. That ought to be enough to concern any taxpayer.
I believe our elected officials should be more in touch with their constituents and more sensitive to their needs when they consider COLAs and pay raises for themselves.

Why is someone with skills considered to be overqualified?
"Irregardless, you are overqualified."
"Irregardless" and "overqualified" — these are two words that do not exist, and I am tired of hearing them.
My son-in-law is currently looking for a job. He has been searching for several months, but to no avail. If he does get a response, it is always contains the declaration about being "overqualified."
Sadly, many of the places that he applies leave him in limbo because they do not possess the common courtesy to respond to his submitted applications with their firm. I truly feel his frustration as he sits and waits for a response from someone. I also empathize with all of the other "overqualified" job candidates who are subjected to the lunacy of this phrase.
Although I am now retired, I am fully appraised regarding the job market dilemma. But besides being a gentleman in the truest sense of the world, my son-in-law is incredibly skilled in so many areas. He is a skilled mechanic and incredible artist. He is very patient, slow to anger, and very people/client-oriented who can work both solo and as part of a team or as its leader and spokesperson. The made-up term "overqualified" is not an adjective that would fit his profile. In fact, he would be the type of person that anyone would want to have working for their community because of his plethora of skills.
So if it is possible, could someone reading this please contact me to explain what the phrase "irregardless, you are overqualified" means. Since when is it "overqualified" if you can get more for your money from one who also lives in your community and therefore has a vested interest in it? I am in the phone book.

Shipp plays up gun stereotypes
I am umbrage at the remarks made by columnist Bill Shipp, "Tragedy reflects Southern gun culture," April 29), and his coarse, unqualified comparison of decent citizens to the UGA professor who alledgedly went on a murderous rampage.
Shipp suggests that we have a raging shoot 'em up "gun culture" in the South which naturally results in such heinous acts. Shipp failed to note that the suspected murderer is from Holland, an anti-gun country that ironically has produced a number of shockingly blatant murderers in the past years.
The decent people of Athens are not prone to such behavior, nor are typical Southern gun owners so sick and wildly stupid as to commit such terrible crimes.
Distorted blanket accusations seem to be Shipp's specialty; he needs to study the facts before attempting to participate in journalism. Shipp shoots off his lip and shoots from the hip.

Spicy Tomato Relish
Use the leftovers of this vibrant relish on sandwiches or alongside roasted meat. A nicely wrapped jar of this relish also makes a great gift.
- Servings: Makes about 3 cups
- 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/4 pounds ripe plum tomatoespeeled, seeded and cut into 3/4-inch dice
- 12 scallions, white and tender green, thinly sliced diagonally
- 5 serrano chiles, stemmed and quartered lengthwise (with seeds)
- One 1 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, finely julienned
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon black or yellow mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons cracked black peppercorns
- 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 cup olive oil
How to make this recipe
In a nonreactive saucepan, heat the vinegar, sugar and salt, stirring constantly just until dissolved. Remove from the heat. In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, scallions and serranos.
On a plate, arrange the ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, cumin, peppercorns, crushed red pepper and turmeric. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil until almost smoking. Add the garlic, ginger and spices all at once and stir over moderate heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the vinegar mixture. Add the dressing to the tomatoes and scallions and let cool. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 4 days.

We're of course talking about the newly-announced T-Mobile Sidekick 4G, which is not only going to utilize the carrier's HSPA+ 21Mbps network, but will also have some software installed that will surely make the socializing experience a lot smarter than before, courtesy of Android 2.2 Froyo.
Now, as much as we like the good ole Sidekick idea, we've got to admit that the Sidekick 4G is a bit too chubby for our modern tastes. Not that we can't live with that though, considering its beautiful physical QWERTY keyboard, which snaps open reassuringly with its hinge design. Most importantly, the keys on the Sidekick 4G are spaced-out really well, allowing you to make little to no mispresses while typing. The buttons also seems to have a pretty good travel to their movement. Closing the QWERTY keyboard might prove a bit challenging at first, but after a couple of attempts we could get the gist of it. A nice design touch by Samsung is the nicely-patterned back, which allows for a better grip.
The wonderful QWERTY will be complemented by a healthy-sized 3.5" WVGA touch TFT display, which will bring some "novelties" to the franchise, such as comfortable web browsing and better gaming capabilities.
On the software side of things, we said the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G is to come with Froyo, which isn't the most impressive asset, considering that Gingerbread is already out, available for manufacturers to put it in their phones. The reps here at CTIA did mention something about a possible Gingerbread update later on, but we wouldn't be holding our breath. Anyways, there are some customizations done to the interface to give the Sidekick 4G that alternative look needed for such a youth-centric device. First of all, there'll be a new lock screen, while the home one will now feature a custom menu at the bottom that will provide you with the options to go straight to Phone, Apps, or Contacts. Obviously, we're not too thrilled about this custom UI, especially having in mind that it might slow down the release of eventual firmware updates.
So that pretty much sums up our first impressions from the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G. We're glad that the line is still alive and kicking, and will be looking forward to playing some more with it, hopefully sometime this spring, when the phone is expected to hit the market.

TUNIS – Islamist Prime Minister Ali Larayedh on Tuesday accused Tunisia's main Salafist movement of coordinating with al-Qaida and carrying out "terrorist" attacks that have rocked the country since the 2011 revolution, including two political assassinations.
Ansar al-Sharia "is responsible for the assassinations of (Chokri) Belaid and (Mohammed) Brahmi, as well as our martyrs in the police and the national army," Larayedh told a news conference, referring to the two politicians killed in separate attacks in February and July.
"We have decided to class Ansar al-Sharia as a 'terrorist organization,' " he said, claiming that it was working with al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, the jihadist network's North African affiliate. Larayedh's moderate Islamist party, Ennahda, which heads the ruling coalition, has been heavily criticized for not doing enough to prevent waves of violence blamed on the extremists.

Well if that's not working, try different anti-stink and litter box additives. Start at the dollar store and work up your way to grocery store and pet-store litter box de-odorifiers. There are the kind that cover odor (sprays, gels in a container) or the kind that you sprinkle inside the box. You should also de-poop the box once a day and if you use clumping, try clay, or vice-versa. ^_^
