Being able to add new features to a TV after having bought it is never a bad thing and Sony knows it. That's an assumption backed up by the company's announcement of the DMX-WL1, DMX-DVD and DMX-SW1 Bravia link modules; or the Wireless Link, DVD Link and Input Link as they are perhaps more easily remembered. All three sets designed to latch on to the back of Bravia TVs and add additional functionality. The names should give what that is away.
The moist interesting Link module is probably the wireless one. The Wireless Link Module comes as a two piece system comprising the DMX-WL1T transmitter and DMX-WL1R receiver. The transmitter offers four HDMI inputs and a Component connector and will stream up to 1080i content to the transmitter.
As the maker of a great deal of HDMI-connected home cinemas products, from Blu-ray players to the PlayStation 3, it should be no surprise that Sony is pushing wireless hdmi technology - such as sported by the Belkin FlyWire. The FlyWire, however, is capable of transmitting 1080p signals, besting than the DMX-WL1's 1080i limitation. It's a shame Sony didn't go the whole hog, especially as the main backer of Blu-ray which was, of course, made to be watched in 1080p. The DMX-WL1 has an $800 (~£430) MSRP so it's not going to be for everyone, anyway.
The DMX-DVD DVD Link Module is described by Sony as a "full-featured" DVD up-scaling player. At $200 (~£110) it isn't all that cheap, but it has the advantage of being hidden behind the TV, if that's your bag. The DMX-SW1 Input Link Module is the simplest of the new offerings, but for most people will arguably be the most useful but he simple addition of four HDMI slots. For $150 (~£80) it's pretty good value, too.
All three Link modules' controls get integrated into the menu system of any Bravia TV to which they are attached, which is a pretty cool feature. Now announce a UK release, pricing, and some new (preferably LED-backit) Bravia TVs that rival the competition. And, while we're making requests, a 1080p version of the DMX-WL1 wouldn't go amiss either.
Come on then; what are you waiting for, Sony?

1. Arizona's Sky Island Parkway
A 27-mile trek not far from Tucson, the Mount Lemmon Parkway leads you through a dramatically changing landscape as you climb more than 9,000 feet. You'll see such a wide variety of ecosystems-from desert lowlands to a mixed-conifer forest-that locals liken the journey to the geographical differences you'd see if you were to travel from Mexico to Canada. From stately saguaro cacti to Douglas fir trees, the diverse palette of green, present in nearly every shade, is breathtaking.
A June 2003 wildfire exposed geological formations formerly hidden by overgrowth. The regeneration process is well under way. Even more lush vegetation is springing up in the now rich soil, providing a rare educational opportunity for plant lovers.
For a trip based in Tucson, star gazers will find that it's worth an extra day's stay to visit the Kitt Peak National Observatory, located southwest of the city in the mountains above the Sonoran Desert. Here you'll find the world's largest collection of optical telescopes and clear nighttime viewing conditions that draw professional astronomers from around the globe. (Although three guided tours are available each day, groups of more than 20 require reservations, so call ahead at 520-318-8726. There are also nightly observing programs; call ahead for these as well.)
Local eats: For such Sonoran-style Mexican specialties as flour tacos folded around spiced shredded beef, head to such local favorites as Mi Nidito or Guillermo's Double L in South Tucson.
For more information: visit www.arizonaguide.com.
2. Florida's Birding Trail
Although it's only a fraction of the Great Florida Birding Trail's 2,000-mile total, the 200 miles from Tallahassee, Florida, to the Alabama border take you through nearly 80 bird-watching sites. (You'll follow secondary roads that run parallel to I-10; download a complete guide from www.floridabirdingtrail.com). The panhandle is home to species such as seaside sparrows, nuthatches, broad-winged hawks, and the country's largest population of red-cockaded woodpeckers. In winter and spring, visitors might find any one of 370 species of migrating birds-along with moderate temperatures and smaller crowds.
Local eats: Sample fresh Gulf of Mexico seafood-snapper, wahoo, amberjack, Apalachicola oysters, and Royal Red shrimp are common catches-at one of the trail's many roadside diners and cafes; such as the FloraBama, a raucous roadhouse located in Perdido Key.
For more information: visit www.visitflorida.com.
3. Texas Hill Country
This easily navigable stretch carves a path between San Antonio and Austin, via I-10 North, then detours onto secondary roads. Wine lovers, history buffs, and adventure seekers are equally satisfied tasting the fruits of the area's 20-plus vineyards, exploring the Alamo, or enjoying water sports on the Guadalupe River.
Stop in Bandera to tour an authentic Old West town and home to working ranches. Outside of Llano, climb Enchanted Rock, a 500-foot-tall bubble of solid granite. As you pass through Medina, pick up the city's namesake apple, a local favorite.
Plan your visit for the last weekend in March, and you'll be treated to the Texas Hill Country Wine and Food Festival. You'll also be just in time for peak bluebonnet season, Texas's state flower, which grows wild throughout the hill country.
Local eats: Nowhere does slow-smoked barbecued brisket come to life like the Salt Lick Barbecue Restaurant, just south and west of Austin in tiny Driftwood. Dry-rubbed with salt, black pepper, and cayenne, it's smoked over oak instead of the usual mesquite or hickory.
For more information: visit www.hill-country-visitor.com.
4. Anderson Valley, California
This less-crowded alternate to Napa Valley is located two-and-a-half hours north of San Francisco in Northern California's Mendocino County. The countryside maintains the same charming, rustic feel that drew settlers and farmers after the Gold Rush-gorgeous green mountains and rolling hills hung with gauzy coastal fog. Slowly drive the 25-mile path along Highway 128 from Yorkville to Navarro, stopping to sample wares from the area's many award-winning wineries. Anderson Valley is known for pinot noir and gewürztraminer varietals, and methode-champenoise sparkling wines.
The region even has its own unique dialect, Boontling, which emerged in the isolated community in the early 1900s. One phrase that may prove handy: bahl gorms, which means "good food."
Local eats: Pack a picnic from the Boonville Farmers' Market, where one stop will guarantee local offerings of honey, produce, organic cheese, and fresh-baked breads. If you opt to visit Mendocino County in early November, you'll be just in time for the annual Wine and Mushroom Festival, which celebrates the more than 20 varieties of edible mushrooms that grow in the area.
For more information: visit www.andersonvalleymuseum.org.
5. South Dakota's Badlands
Mount Rushmore may be the ultimate reward of a 150-mile scenic drive through stunning Badlands National Park, but nature is truly the greatest attraction. You can trip through cowboy country in the largest mixed-grass prairie in the United States and contemplate the Badlands' fascinating geological formations-all beneath skies that seem to stretch beyond imagination. The Badlands' waves and twisting spires of eroded sandstone lie among fossil beds that date to 35 million years old. (Thus the giant dinosaurs you'll see looming over many tourist stops in and around the Badlands.) Be on the lookout for black-footed ferrets, the country's most endangered land mammal, which conservationists are reintroducing to the area.
Local eats: Hearty buffalo takes beef's place in the road food spotlight. Sample the stew at Mount Rushmore's visitors' center restaurant or a burger at Wall Drug in nearby Wall, a fun, quirky stop featuring an old-fashioned soda fountain, Western wear, and kitschy Americana. When you see the 80-foot-long brontosaurus that marks the exit off I-90, you'll know you're almost there.

The Food Network Just Finished Filming a Show in South Jersey
One South Jersey restaurant is getting a makeover for the whole world to see!
The Food Network has been filming 'Restaurant Impossible' at a restaurant inside the Pomona Country Club! According to NBC 40, 'The son of the club's owners, Shane Ritchie, told us he reached out to the show just before Christmas to apply. Ritchie said that towards the end of March, he found out his family's country club was chosen to receive the $10,000 dollar, 48-hour, restaurant makeover.'
The restaurant's grand re-opening is tonight at 7PM, just make sure you make a reservation! As far as the episode's air date, the producers couldn't confirm anything at the moment, but it's always good to know South Jersey will be viewed on a national level in a positive way!

Fox News' double standard on "judicial experience"
Research ››› ››› CHRISTINE SCHWEN & BEN DIMIERO
Fox News personalities have trumpeted what they admit is the Republican talking point that Elena Kagan lacks judicial experience. But one-third of Supreme Court justices have had no state or federal judicial experience at the time they were nominated, and Fox had no such concerns following now-Chief Justice John Roberts' nomination, even though he had only served as a judge for two years.
Fox News claims Kagan has "no experience"
Fox's Carlson: "This woman has no judicial experience .... So just what makes Elena Kagan qualified?" On the May 10 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Gretchen Carlson teased a report on Kagan by stating: "We're going to start now with a Fox News alert. This woman has no judicial experience, but President Obama about to tap her as the next Supreme Court justice. So just what makes Elena Kagan qualified? Well, we're going going to have both sides of the story for you, coming up." She later stated, "Because she has no judicial experience, but President Obama has picked her for the top seat in the land, Supreme Court justice. So is Elena Kagan the right choice? A live report for you is coming up."
Fox's Hemmer: "She has no judicial experience, how do you become a Supreme Court justice if that's the case?" On the May 10 edition of America's Newsroom, host Bill Hemmer said "she has never served as a judge," and asked of Kagan: "She has no judicial experience, how do you become a Supreme Court justice if that's the case?" Later, Hemmer admitted this was a GOP talking point, stating: "Already we are hearing questions about her experience. She's never been a judge. Republicans are sounding that alarm."
Fox on-screen graphic: Kagan "never served as a judge." During Kagan's acceptance speech, Fox posted an onscreen graphic which noted that she has "never served as a judge."
Fox Nation: "Obama's Court Pick: No Judicial Experience, No Paper Trail?" The Fox Nation linked to a post on Kagan by Fox News Contributor Michelle Malkin with the headline "Obama's Court Pick: No Judicial Experience, No Paper Trail?"
Fox's Malkin: Kagan's nomination "concerning given her complete lack" of judicial experience. The Malkin post Fox Nation linked to included Malkin's 2009 criticism of a potential Kagan Supreme Court nomination:
Dean Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court would be concerning given her complete lack of judicial or appellate experience. She has never been a judge or even argued a case in a court of appeals. It is difficult to see how her experience fundraising for Harvard Law School qualifies her for a seat on the Nation's high court.
Note to Fox: more than three dozen Supreme Court justices had no prior judicial experience
Findlaw.com: Dozens of justices had no prior judicial experience. As Media Matters' Adam Shah noted, Findlaw.com's Supreme Court Center found that dozens of the 111 current and past Supreme Court justices had no judicial experience when they were first nominated. In fact, William Rehnquist and Earl Warren -- two of the past four chief justices -- had never been judges before their appointments as justices. Both were nominated by Republican presidents.
Despite similarities, Fox did not raise concerns about Roberts' experience after his nomination
Media Matters conducted a review of the Fox News transcripts available in Nexis for July 19, 2005, and July 20, 2005, and found no examples of Fox News personalities raising concerns about Roberts' limited judicial experience. The following is a sampling of Fox News' initial remarks about Roberts' nomination:
Greta Van Susteren: Roberts "has the intellectual prowess" for the court and "a fine background." From the July 19, 2005, edition of Fox News' On the Record with Greta Van Susteren:
VAN SUSTEREN: You know, he -- I'm sure -- it sounds like he has the intellectual prowess for it. I mean, he's got a fine background.
VAN SUSTEREN: But even if you look at this candidate, you know, it's sort of interesting. They're all judges. I mean, the only -- the only one who's not a judge right there is Justice [William] Rehnquist, who came out of the Justice Department.
Sean Hannity: Roberts is a "mainstream conservative" who seems to "connect with both sides." From the July 19, 2005, edition of Fox News' Hannity and Colmes:
HANNITY: He seems like a mainstream conservative. What's interesting, the president pointed this out tonight, Judge, is that he had more than 150 members of the D.C. bar, including well-respected attorneys like Lloyd Cutler, who was the White House counsel to both President Carter and Clinton, C. Boyden Gray, and of course Seth Waxman, who was President Clinton's solicitor general.
I mean, he seems to, in that sense, connect with both sides.
Democrats and Republicans, prominent lawyers in D.C., really respect this man. They admire his -- his intellectual acumen, his position on the law, his consistency.
Newsweek's Stuart Taylor: Roberts is "well qualified" despite not having "an extensive record." From the July 19 edition of Fox News' Special Report:
TAYLOR: John Roberts is a Bush appointee to the federal appeals court here in Washington, D.C., often called the second-most important court in the country. He's only been there two years, so he doesn't have an extensive record there.
But he's very well-qualified. He had a reputation as being one of the best, if not the best, appellate litigator in the country. Conservatives are very comfortable with him. They think he's one of them.
But he'd be much easier to confirm -- he'd be easier to confirm, maybe much easier than Luttig, I think, because he doesn't have a controversial paper trail, and he's got a lot of friends across the political spectrum. Luttig seems to hang out more with his conservative buddies.
Bill O'Reilly: Roberts a "solid guy" who "knows the Constitution." From the July 20 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: The "Talking Points Memo" this evening is about Supreme Court nominee John Roberts. Looks like solid guy to me. Smart, good citizen, knows the Constitution. I expected -- I expect him to be confirmed by the end of the year.
Brit Hume: Is Roberts a "true-blue conservative jurist." From the July 20 edition of Fox News Special Report with Brit Hume:
HUME: So the question is whether -- who is this guy? What is he really like? Analytical observations now from Fred Barns, executive editor of the "Weekly Standard," Mort Kondracke, executive editor of "Roll Call," and Nina Easton, deputy Washington bureau chief of the Boston Globe, FOX News contributors all.
Well, we've now had overnight to look at this man's records, two years worth of record on the court and whatever else we might know about him.
Nina, what's your sense about whether this is a true-blue conservative jurist or is this somebody that we simply can't tell?
By contrast, several Fox reporters and legal experts highlighted Kagan's experience
Fox's Bream predicts Kagan will get GOP votes because she is "brilliant" with a "fantastic resume." During Fox's May 9 live Supreme Court coverage, Supreme Court reporter Shannon Bream said:
Senator Harry Reid, you know the top Democrat in the Senate has said again and again during the process -- he was really pushing the president to select somebody that wasn't sitting around in a black robe, he didn't want see another judge. He really was very vocal about that a number of times over the last few weeks, once we knew that Justice [John Paul] Stevens was gonna step down. So I would think this is the kind of nominee that will his full backing, his full support, and that of many, many other top Democrats and even some Republicans in the Senate, because she's had a very distinguished career. No one would argue anything but that she is a brilliant individual, she's got a fantastic resume, and she is known as being a consensus-builder, something that's been discussed with her before. When she was the dean at Harvard she brought together a lot of people, students and faculty and was really seen as somebody who was a bridge builder.
Fox legal analyst Wiehl: Kagan "an absolute gem" with "excellent qualifications." In a May 10 FoxNews.com opinion piece, legal analyst Liz Wiehl wrote that she found Kagan "to be an absolute gem," and added: "Some will question her lack of judicial experience, but that perceived prerequiste is relatively new...don't forget Justice Warren (of the Warren court) was never a judge before ascending to the Court. At Harvard, she was known as an avid listener, who could get to the heart of the matter with a measure of both logical analysis and compassion. Sound like excellent qualifications to me."
Supreme Court expert Patricia Millet: "There have been plenty of other justices who have not been judges at the time they were appointed." During their March 10 live Supreme Court coverage, Fox hosted Supreme Court expert Patricia Millet, who stated.
MILLET: There have been plenty of other justices who have not been judges at the time they were appointed, or ever, one of the most famous being Chief Justice Earl Warren, Justice Goldberger - [Arthur] Goldberg, excuse me -- there have been plenty in history. In fact, it's been only a more recent trend to have it as heavily populated by former court of appeals judges as it is now.
Fox's Baier notes Kagan's "long resume," Skinner point out other justices had not previously served as judges. On the May 10 edition of Fox News' Happening Now, anchor Jane Skinner stated, "Interesting to note though, she wouldn't be setting a precedent here, I mean, Rehnquist, [Earl] Warren, there are several names of those who were not judges before sitting on the high court." Special Report host Bret Baier replied, "That's right, and she does have a long resume. Democrats will also point out that she was nominated to be an appellate court judge, but they'll say that Republicans blocked her from getting into that seat on the bench."
Kagan has extensive experience, and her lack of judicial experience is a direct result of the GOP blocking her nomination
Kagan served in Clinton White House, was dean of Harvard Law School, currently serves as solicitor general. Contrary to Fox's suggestion that Kagan has "no experience," Kagan has extensive relevant experience. From the Senate Judiciary Committee website:
Kagan has not had judicial experience because GOP blocked her nomination. Kagan was nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1999 by President Clinton, and the Senate, then controlled by Republicans, blocked her nomination.

This is a discussion on RBCD Ammo controversy within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by HowardCohodas It's been reported that Coral Gables PD did had a testing and evaluation process before selecting the RBCD ammo. I'm perusing ...
The issue with all shallow penetration rounds is that, frequently, your rounds will need to penetrate hands and/or forearms before even getting to the chest cavity.
Think of an attacker - his hands will almost always be outstretched towards you...either holding a weapon, or instinctively shielding himself from your return fire.
Think of your own shots - many will land on those outstretched arms and hands. You will naturally focus on the hands, since that is where the danger is. That is also where your shots will tend to go. Try it at the range with a target depicting a gun or knife wielding attacker.
If you use Glaser or RBCD ammo, the bullet will fragment upon hitting the forearms or hands. The chest will only get fragments - resulting in much less spectacular damage than seen in meat or gel tests.
Then there is the issue of angled, oblique shots. The upper chest cavity is not too deep front-to-back, but come in at an angle from the side, and penetration needs to go up to reach the vitals.
Can a fragmenting round work? Sure. Most thugs will likely stop if their arm is blown up. But...if it's a right handed motivated or drugged thug and his left arm is blown up...maybe not. Not before he kills you.
Shot placement. Penetration. No magic bullets.
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.

Given the military's need to penetrate cover, I find it hard to believe that they use this ammo operationally. I wonder if there is a misunderstanding here?...

He gave me a few examples but I had the feeling the discussion was in confidence so I'm not going to relate them here. Suffice to say this guy and his team were way impressed with RBCD in Afghanistan.
This was no training load, either. RBCD is waaaay too expensive to be a training round. Winchester does make a frangible load that is specifically designed for training indoors. That goes for like $7.50 a box of 50. RBCD is $39.95 for a box of 20. With the Winchester, it states on the box that it is specifically a training load and not for self defense.

I watched my 11 year old nephew arguing about pokeman trading cards this entire discussion is so similar. If you like the RCBS load it up, if you like tried and true load it up. This thread boarders on infantile; I can't wait till someone says "your mom".
"To believe that social reforms can eradicate evil altogether is to forget that evil is a protean creature, forever assuming a new shape when deprived of an old one." - SAT
Never argue with an idiot - they'll bring you down to their level then beat you with experience.
I was not going to add this,but I must. I have tested the .45acp 90gr. stuff through car windshields with no deflection at all, striking a 25lb block of clay. The round did not pass through the clay. Even shot the windshield,striking the dash next and the round still hit the clay without going through it. When we shot the door,the round went through the door striking the clay and stopping. Second round into the door struck the inside door beam and stopped without striking the clay. I don't think a .223 round would have passed through the inside door beam.Just grown men's curiosity satisified that day. Needles to say I carry RBCD in all the handguns and my SOCOM 16.
ExSoldier - Interesting. I wonder how JAG approved the use of expanding bullets for SOF?
I wasn't referring to body armor, so much as the need to penetrate cover. One of the reasons the military has stayed with FMJ for general use - in addition to the legalities.
Blademan - I have no doubt that a light and fast bullet (which means high kinetic energy) can penetrate light sheet steel and auto glass. My concerns are more related to penetrating flesh and bone (forearms) which starts the bullet fragmentation process, and then still needing to penetrate to the vitals in the chest cavity.
Maybe a block of clay behind another block of clay, with a few inches of space between?
Edit - One other question...have either of you taken one of these bullets apart? Not sure if you've read through this whole thread, but another member did cut one open. Instead of exotic "blended metals" it appears to be a rather ordinary JSP, with much of the lead removed and replaced by a light plastic plug. Thus an ultralight and ultrafast bullet. Whether these bullets can work or not, I really don't want to give $2 per round to a bunch of charlatans.
If you do cut one open, I'm sure we would be interested to see what you find - and your reaction. Maybe they make different kinds of bullets - I don't know. Just seems fishy to me.
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.

Some years back a local market had pork ribs on sale. I picked up 20lbs and headed to the range. RBCD 90gr 45acp made hamburger meat out of the ribs. Even after putting 2-3 layers of rib slabs on top of each other. No problem what so ever in penetrating bone. RBCD is perhaps not for everyone,but I am a convert.

Selecting a Program
Choosing the education abroad program that ultimately fits a student best involves research, and it is critically important that students begin early and take the time to consider their options carefully. The items below are intended to aid in this research and include descriptions of program types as well as questions students should ask themselves while looking at different programs.
Education Abroad Starter Kit
The Education Abroad Starter Kit offers a good overview of education abroad opportunities and processes.
Students interested in participating in an education abroad program should make an appointment with an Education Abroad Advisor in the Office of International Programs (OIP) to discuss their plans and options. The easiest way to do this is to call the OIP front desk, but students can also complete this online form. Appointments generally should be made at least one day in advance. However, walk-in advising is also available during designated Open Chat times.
Education Abroad Events
Education Abroad also holds several informational events throughout the year, particularly in Fall Semester, which students can attend to obtain more information. Please see the Education Abroad Calendar of Events for time, date and location.
Education Abroad 101
Education Abroad 101 is a short presentation that gives an overview of education abroad opportunities at The University of Akron.
Education Abroad Fair
Held each October, the Education Abroad Fair is an opportunity for students to ask questions of many UA faculty program directors, third-party program provider representatives, Education Abroad staff and other relevant UA offices in one place.
Education Abroad Forum
The Education Abroad Forum is an opportunity for students interested in education abroad to speak to fellow students who've been abroad and returned about their experiences, as well as to students from UA partner institutions about their home countries and universities.
The University of Akron-Sponsored Bilateral Exchanges
The University of Akron maintains exchange relationships with more than 20 institutions in 10 countries, at which students may study for a summer, semester or academic year. Bilateral exchanges are the type of program that comes to most people's minds when they think about education abroad, wherein UA and its partners "swap" students.
With an exchange, UA students generally pay a program fee equivalent to and in lieu of UA tuition and fees to the Office of International Programs and then pay the costs of housing and meals in the host country. The overall cost will be similar to staying in Akron for the given term, though may be higher or lower based on the specific location and the attending costs of living. Estimated costs of attendance are included on each program description page.
Depending on the location, one may be the only student from UA, so a high degree of autonomy and independence are needed.
Foreign language proficiency may or may not be required. Even in non-English-speaking countries, many of our partners offer courses conducted in English.
The University of Akron Faculty-Led and Departmental Programs
Many UA colleges and departments run short education abroad programs taught and led by UA faculty and awarding UA credit, usually—though not exclusively—for 2-5 weeks in the summer. These are typically subject-driven and may or may not require a given prerequisite, though it will depend on the program structure and specific course(s) offered. Models vary, but this type of program may, for example, consist of a Spring Semester course with an embedded travel component or one or more courses fully conducted abroad. Costs vary by program, but may include both tuition and a program fee covering travel, etc.
In some instances, UA departments operate international internship programs that may last up to one semester in duration.
Students should not rely exclusively on the Office of International Programs for information about such programs, but should be sure to consult advisors in their department and, for specific program details, the faculty program director.
Non-UA Programs: Direct-Enroll and Third-Party Providers
Students may also participate in programs not sponsored by The University of Akron. For example, students may directly enroll in an international institution as a guest student or participate in a program offered by a "third-party provider", which could be another US institution (e.g. Kent State University) or a company that operates education abroad programs.
UA is a member of the Ohio International Consortium (OIC) and also has affiliation agreements with certain providers. These affiliations may provide certain benefits to UA students, such as marginally reduced program fees and/or access to provider-administered scholarships. The Study Abroad Library in the Office of International Programs has materials on many such programs, and many online resources are also available.
International Internships, Co-ops and Student Teaching
Receive work experience and international insight in your field. Options vary and may or may not be credit-bearing or paid. Many third-party providers offer internship opportunities, as do some UA academic units. Through the Bliss Institute, qualified students may intern in the Canadian Parliament. The College of Engineering has some international co-op programs, and teacher-candidates may work with the Office of Student Teaching to fulfill part of their requirement abroad. Interested students should also consult with the Career Center.
Service-Learning and Volunteering
Participate in volunteer and service projects abroad.
Academic Research
Conduct research in one's field abroad.
Conference Attendance
Attend and/or present at an international conference in your field.
Teaching Abroad
Some programs offer opportunities to be an English teacher or teacher's assistant abroad, usually after graduation. Examples include the JET Program in Japan, EPIK in South Korea and the Teaching Assistant Program in France. Enrolled UA graduate students may also be eligible for a teaching assistantship at the Université du Maine through UA's Department of Modern Languages. Students may also be able to find independent opportunities to teach English or other subjects abroad at language schools, international schools, etc.
When researching programs, students must consider their goals for the experience. Ask oneself, Why do I want to go abroad? Do I want to study, intern or volunteer? Do I want to immerse myself in the host culture? What type of courses do I want to take: major requirements, minor requirements, electives, general education requirements?
Comfort Level
The notion of traveling abroad can be daunting for some. While breaking through one's comfort zone is part of the point of education abroad, students must be cognizant of their tolerance threshold nonetheless. Students should consider their level of independence, their travel experience and their ability to adjust to new and unfamiliar situations. They should also consider whether they would be comfortable throwing themselves into a culture and studying with local students or whether they would prefer a greater safety net and study with other US students, other UA students or perhaps of mixture of one or more of these.
Naturally, cost is an important and frequent concern for students. Students should consider their personal budgets, as well as program costs and available financial aid resources. When looking at costs, students should carefully examine what is included in the fees to determine what the better value is. In the same vein, while semester- and academic year-long programs are more expensive in absolute terms, they tend to be a better value when the overall time abroad and other benefits are considered.
When considering location, students should not only consider the country or city, but also the type of environment that suits them. Which is preferable, a large university or a smaller university. A big city or a small town? Would one prefer to be in a well-developed area comparable to Akron and the US, or is one comfortable with a developing area? Should the program travel to multiple locations?
Students should consider how long they wish to be abroad; there are options that last anywhere from a few weeks to a full academic year. However, they also need to consider during which term they want to go abroad and how it fits their degree program. The student's academic advisor should be an integral part of these discussions. Finally, students need to consider the application procedures and deadlines. Many program and scholarship applications are due much earlier than students might think, and some may be take time to complete all components. Students should allow at least one semester before their desired term abroad for the application.

Minny's Chocolate Pie
The Help's ending hinges on a secret involving Minny's famous chocolate pie. Newspaper columnist Lee Ann Flemming, one of the best bakers in Greenwood, made 53 chocolate pies during filming, including 12 vegan and gluten-free versions she prepared in just one day for actress Bryce Dallas Howard. Her fudgy version here is neither vegan nor gluten-free: It's as classic as it gets. You can make your own crust, but Flemming uses packaged.
Slideshow:Top 10 All-Time Favorite Pies
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: Makes one 9-inch pie
- 1 packaged pie dough crust, such as Pillsbury
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3/4 cup evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whipped cream, for serving
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 350°. Ease the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges decoratively. Prick the crust lightly with a fork. Line the crust with foil or parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes or until set. Remove the foil and weights and bake for about 5 minutes longer, just until the crust is dry but not browned.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk the sugar with the cocoa powder, butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla and salt until smooth.
Pour the filling into the pie shell and bake for about 45 minutes, until the filling is set around the edges but a little jiggly in the center. Cover the crust with strips of foil halfway through baking. Transfer the pie to a rack and let cool completely before cutting into wedges. Serve with whipped cream.
Make Ahead
The chocolate pie can be refrigerated overnight.

Your eyes are spectacular! What a beautiful picture.

A truly international school.
Being 'internationally-minded' has become a catchphrase for many schools, but for Sacré Cœur this has been the norm since its foundation in 1888 as one of over 150 Sacred Heart schools in 45 countries all over the world. Few schools could boast the breadth of the international network that is available to the students of Sacré Cœur and the magnificent opportunities this brings.
The following International Exchanges are typically available to students in Years 10 and 11.
In addition, the four Sacred Heart Schools that make up the Australian and New Zealand Province provide many more opportunities for students at other year levels. These include:

Narrative career counselling: Theory and exemplars of practice
McIlveen, Peter F. & Patton, Wendy A. (2007) Narrative career counselling: Theory and exemplars of practice. Australian Psychologist, 42(3), pp. 226-235.
|PDF (92kB)
This paper provides an overview of narrative career counselling, which is presented as a predominant variant of constructivism. Constructivist theories have relatively recently emerged as a significant force within vocational psychology and the practice of career counselling. The systems theory framework and the theory of career construction are introduced as theoretical frameworks amendable to constructivism and narrative career counselling. Although a stable definition of narrative career counselling cannot be presented at this stage in its theoretical and technical evolution, core theoretical tenets of this new approach to counselling are presented. Exemplars of the practice are described to provide an introductory account of the process of narrative career counselling. Some of the limitations of the approach are described along with a recommendation for the development of theory and research that adequately address counselling outcome and process.

Racing News
YONKERS, NY, Sunday, March 13, 2016—Major Athens (Brian Sears, $11.20) gutted it out Sunday afternoon, winning Yonkers Raceway's $40,400 Open Handicap Trot.
Assigned post position No. 7, he was one of several leavers through some quick fractions. Crazshana (Jason Bartlett) played leapfrog on the lead with Red Hot Herbie (Dan Dube) between equal opening intervals of :28.2 ( :56.4 half).
09.28.2015 - The Ladies Have Excelled in the International Trot: Beware of the Mares
The names ring true to rank among the greatest of International Trot champions: the American standouts, two-time winner Delmonica Hanover and Classical Way; Canadian star Fresh Yankee, and the French flag-carriers Une de Mai and Roquepine, both two-time titlists. What do these immortals have in common? All were mares who dominated their male counterparts in global warfare.
09.22.2015 - Ten Greatest Trotters In World Accept Invitations To $1 Million International Trot Set For Saturday Afternoon, October 10, At Yonkers Raceway ***Elite Global Affair Returns After 20-year Absence***
The world's greatest trotters – 10 elite harness horses carrying the flags of six different countries – have accepted invitations to the prestigious $1 million International Trot, to be contested at a mile and a quarter on Saturday afternoon, October 10, at historic Yonkers Raceway, it was announced today. The field (with countries in parenthesis) in alphabetical order is as follows: BBS Sugarlight (Norway); Bee a Magician (Canada); Creatine (USA); Mosaique Face (Sweden); Natural Herbie (USA); Oasis Bi (Italy); On Track Piraten (Sweden); Papagayo E (Norway); Rod Stewart (Italy); Timoko (France). It will mark the return of the global trotting showcase after a 20-year absence. Yonkers' famed half-mile oval last hosted the spectacle in 1995, captured by Sweden's His Majesty. The one-million dollar purse equals the richest in Yonkers history. The first seven-figure purse was in the 2007 Art Rooney Pace, won by Southwind Lynx. The European invaders are scheduled to depart for New York's JFK Airport from Liège Airport in eastern Belgium, close to German city of Düsseldorf, next Wednesday, September 30. The transcontinental flight is a distance of 5960 kilometers or 3,703.4 miles, and the journey travelled takes eight hours and 55 minutes. The Roosevelt International Trot was inaugurated in 1959 with great worldwide fanfare at now defunct Roosevelt Raceway in 1959. Yonkers Raceway took over as host of the International in 1989 with the demise of Roosvelt. The French import, artichoke-eating Jamin, captured the inaugural edition in '59 before a crowd of 48,000. A record throng of 54,861 watched Hairos II of the Netherlands win the first renewal the following year. The mighty French standardbearer Ideal du Gazeau is the only three-time International champion, pulling off the "Three-peat" consecutively in 1981, '82 and '83, after finishing second to Classical Way in 1980. Legendary U.S.A. flag-carriers Su Mac Lad and Delmonica Hanover, and French standouts Roquepine and Un de Mai, were all two-time International champions during the sixties and seventies. Lutin d'Isigny continued the French dominance in the eighties, winning two straight following Ideal du Gazeau's three in a row. The United States and France has dominated the International with 15 and 13 victories, respectively. Sweden is third with three, and Canada has captured a pair. The return of the International Trot has been discussed for years, gaining momentum with the successes of last season's International Trot Preview, and French simulcasting from Yonkers, which has typically had wagering of $1 million plus for each card. Last year's International Preview was contested at a mile-and-a-quarter, and won by Natural Herbie (Verlin Yoder) in a world-record 2:24.4. The purse distribution (same as all events) is as follows: winner-50 percent, 2nd-25 percent, 3rd-12 percent, 4th-8 percent, 5th-5 percent (non-cashing overseas entrants receive $37,500 via a purse supplement, while non-cashing North American entrants receive $10,000). The International is part of a scheduled matinee card, with first post time at 2 PM, and post time of the "main event" at approximately 3:10 PM. "It's our pleasure to bring back the International Trot," Raceway president Timothy J. Rooney said. "It's been a signature New York race since it debuted at Roosevelt Raceway back in 1959. We took over the race after Roosevelt closed, and it was very well received. "With Yonkers now a major player in the overseas simulcast market, we feel this is the best time to showcase our track to the world by again inviting the best trotters in the world to race here. We have had tremendous cooperation from our horsemen, and all of us are looking forward to it."
09.09.2015 - Giant Force: America's last International Trot winner
Over the years the International Trots were raced on American soil and featured the most outstanding older trotters in the world. Since the race was an American initiative, one would figure that the host country would have had the most winners in the event. Initially that was not the case but over the course of time the United States trotters emerged victorious 15 times, only three more than the amount of French victories. Sweden's three International Trot wins is third best followed by Canada's two. Denmark, Italy and the Netherlands trotters each had one win in the international event. And though they started multiple times in the International Trots, no German or Finnish horse has won the event. A Finnish horse, Seabiscuit, is currently being considered as a potential invitee for this year's event.
08.26.2015 - Bee A Magician, Magic Tonight commit to International Trot
After two decades, the return of Yonkers Raceway's International Trot is within sight, thus it makes perfect sense that the field of world-class participants is beginning to take shape. With just under seven weeks until the million-dollar event—Saturday afternoon, Oct. 10, to be precise—the connections of Bee a Magician and Magic Tonight have offered unqualified commitments. Bee a Magician, the triple millionairess and 2013 Harness Horse of the Year, has found herself right at home in Westchester. In four Yonkers' starts, the 5-year-old daughter of Kadabra won three of them, setting an aged-group track record each time.
08.26.2015 - Vote for your favorite trotter to represent the USA
It's taken two decades, but the International Trot is returning to Yonkers Raceway, with a $1 million purse. On Oct. 10, Yonkers Raceway will host the first edition of the elite event since 1995. The race will be contested over the distance of 1-1/4 miles and has drawn interest from top international trotters. Bee A Magician has been invited as a Canadian representative, but the United States still needs someone to root for! Yonkers Raceway has decided to let the fans decide which of our top trotters will be invited to take on the world representing the USA. Cast your vote here, on the United States Trotting Association homepage or on our Facebook page. Some voters will also be randomly selected to win a special, commemorative gift bag containing Yonkers Raceway, International Trot, and USTA apparel and memorabilia. Voting closes on Sept. 10.
08.13.2015 - Looking back at the early years of the International Trot
The framers of the inaugural International Trot in 1959 could not have been more pleased with the way it was received and that more than 48,000 fans attended the race spoke volumes alone. However, all involved were even more delighted with the race's second edition at Roosevelt Raceway in 1960, playing to a crowd of 54,261 which was, and still is, an all-time attendance record at a night time harness racing venue.
07.27.2015 - A look back at the inaugural International Trot
The year was 1959. Interest in harness racing was at its zenith and those in the forefront felt that the sport should have international flavor. Since Europe only offered races for trotters it seemed natural that the powers behind such an international event would look across the pond to find the best trotters and bring them to race against the best that the United States and Canada had to offer. Back then the logical site of what was to be called the International Trot was Roosevelt Raceway, known in those days as the "Taj Mahal" of harness racing after a sparkling new $19 million racing facility was built and completed in 1957 with its Cloud Casino dining room. The onus of promoting the race lay upon Roosevelt Raceway's publicity and public relations department which got a tremendous boost from a harness racing friendly media including the New York Times. The inaugural racing distance was set at 1-1/2 miles and the purse of $50,000 was huge in those days.
09.25.2014 - International Trot Preview at Yonkers Raceway a Global Attraction
Tristan Sjoberg remembers listening to the International Trot on the radio while growing up as a teenager in Sweden. He would be rooting for his favorites Callit and Legolas during the early 80s when the International Trot was held at the now defunct Roosevelt Raceway. Now, Sjoberg is proud to be part of the return of the International Trot Preview to Yonkers when it returns to Yonkers Raceway on Oct. 25.
09.18.2014 - International Trot Returns to Yonkers Raceway
It's been almost 20 years since the International Trot was last run at Yonkers Raceway, but it's back and may be better than ever before.
09.11.2014 - Bartlett Opines About 25th New York Night of Champions

07.29.2014 - Yonkers Hosts 201G NYSS Mike Cohen Trot
New York Sire Stakes continued downstate Tuesday night, with Yonkers Raceway hosting the $201,600 Mike Cohen Trot for 2-year-old fillies. The quintet of races honored the memory of the former Yonkers and NBC Sports publicity director, with his family and friends making winner's circle presentations.
07.22.2014 - Gingras/Burke Hat Trick in Yonkers' $200,200 NYSS Clyde Hirt Pace
Yonkers Raceway Tuesday night hosted the $200,200 New York Sire Stakes Clyde Hirt Pace. The event–for 2-year-oled fillies–was contested in nearly-quartered, $50,050 divisions. The dance team of trainer Ron Burke and driver Yannick Gingras combined in three of the events…and won each of those.
07.20.2014 - IN THE ARSENAL Wins 125G Final of Lawrence B. Sheppard Pace
YONKERS, NY, Saturday, July 19, 2014—In the Arsenal (Eric Goodell) never had an anxious moment, Saturday night, winning Yonkers Raceway's $125,000 final of Lawrence B. Sheppard Pace. The Sheppard—named for the man who helped make Hanover Shoe Farms the sport's leading breeding operation—is the Raceway's premier event for "open" 2-year-old colts and geldings (though none of the latter were in this season's final). In the Arsenal, who broke his maiden with last weekend's 1:56.2 elimination win, was in play early here from post position No. 2. He left, as did pole-sitting Rock N' Roll World (Eric Carlson), Perfect Bet (Jeff Dauplaise) and a wide 2-5 favorite Cartoon Daddy (George Brennan). However, the first turn did not cooperate with last week's other elim winner, as Cartoon Daddy broke. In the Arsenal found a :27.4 opening quarter-mile, then somnambulated through a 1:01 middle half (:58.3, 1:28.4). Parklane Eagle (Jordan Stratton), the 83-1 rank outside, hung around first-up, with Lone Survivor (Brian Sears) went three-deep. In the Arsenal, with the field at his feet, opened 2¾ lengths in and out of the final turn. A pocketed Rock N' Roll World cosmetically cut the final margin down to three-quarters of a length in 1:56.4. Third went to a stubborn Parklane Eagle, with Lone Survivor and Byby Landon (Jason Bartlett) settling for the final two pay envelopes. Mystical Pacer (Brent Holland), Perfect Bet and Cartoon Daddy rounded out the order. For second choice In the Arsenal, a White Birch Farm homebred son of American Ideal trained by Kelvin Harrison, he returned $6.30 for his second (consecutive) win in three seasonal/career starts. The exacta paid $101.50, with the triple returning $983. The $62,500 payday increased his earnings to $75,000…not bad for a colt who came back to White Birch after his reserve price was not met at sale. "(In the Arsenal) dragged me out of there really good," Goodell said. "I went faster than I wanted to go early, but he was able to relax after that. "I had no idea the other horse (Cartoon Daddy) made a break. I was just worried about mine and things worked out." Goodell also won the $44,000 Open Handicap Pace with Dream Out Loud N ($9.70) in 1:51.4, with a :54.4 back half. This season's edition was the richest final since 1995 (note race went on hiatus from 2004-2011, inclusive). An historical note…it was a half-century ago that the great Bret Hanover and Frank Ervin won the very first Sheppard. The purse was $57,622 and the time was 2:02.1. The Raceway's five-night-per-week live schedule continues, with first post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 PM. Evening simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with afternoon simulcasting available daily. -30- (photo-Mike Lizzi-accompanies) (FFI…Frank Drucker, Yonkers Raceway Publicity Director, 914-968-4200)
07.18.2014 - Robin Cruise, Tobin Win Friday 44G Co-Features
YONKERS, NY, Friday, July 18, 2014—Yonkers Raceway's Friday night $44,000 co-featured Open Handicaps—for distaff pacers and membership-worthy trotters–were won by a pair of down-the-roads in Robin Cruiser (Jordan Stratton, $14) and Tober (Jason Bartlett, $5.20). Robin Cruiser, leaving from post position No. 6 (in one notch after an inside defection), worked around pole-assigned Icommandmyspirit (Larry Stalbaum). She then took at it the house, with weigh stations of :27.3, :56.4, 1:24.4 and 1:52.4. Monkey on My Wheel (Brian Sears), as has been her MO, floated away for an early seat before trying it first-up. However, the 3-5 favorite couldn't look the leader into the eyes and Robin Cruiser had a length lead into the lane. Icommandmyspirit tried "Robin" up the cones but missed a half-length, with Monkey on My Wheel, Jonsie Jones (Pat Berry) and Virgin Mary (Eric Goodell) rounding out the payees. For Robin Cruiser, a 5-year-old homebred daughter of Yankee Cruiser owned by Pinske Stable and trained by Julie Miller, it was her fourth win in 13 seasonal starts. The exacta paid $104.50, with the triple returning $356.50. The week's marquee trot saw tepid 8-5 choice Tober, in play from post No. 4, lead at every interval (:28, :58, 1:26.1, season's-best 1:54.2). Slight second choice Coraggioso (Sears) tried the same tactic as Monkey on My Wheel—leaving from an ordered outside post and trying it first-up. Tober fending off that one's advances, opened up 2¼ lengths in and out of the final turn, then held off a cones-skimming The Triple Lindy (Eric Carlson) by a neck. Third went to Coraggioso, with Dewycolorintheline (Stratton) and Zooming (Goodell) settling for the remainder. For Tober, a 6-year-old statebred gelding co-owned by (co-breeder) Kristie Leigh Farm & Joseph Betro and trained by Ed Hart, he's now 8-for-20 this season. it was his third win in 11 '14 starts. The exacta paid $32.20, the triple returned $104 and the superfecta paid $369.50. Saturday night's feature is the $125,000 final of the Lawrence B. Sheppard Pace for 2-year-old colts and geldings. The Raceway's five-night-per-week live schedule continues, with first post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 PM. Evening simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with afternoon simulcasting available daily. -30- (photo- Mayra Escamilla-accompanies) (FFI…Frank Drucker, Yonkers Raceway Publicity Director, 914-968-4200)
07.18.2014 - Yonkers Hosts 221G NYSS Armand Palatucci Pace
YONKERS, NY, Thursday, July 17, 2014—The Empire's best 3-year-old colts and geldings—save for He's Watching—invaded Yonkers Raceway Thursday night for the $221,000 New York Sire Stakes Armand Palatucci Pace. The odds-on gelding Twin B Tenacious (Steve Smith, $3.90) won the first ($72,800) division from second-over. Unhurried from the pole, "Tenacious" chased Twin B Speedo (Mark MacDonald) through intervals of :27.2, :58 and 1:25.4. "Speedo" swung wide and whipped the leader by a half-length in 1:54. Third went to Keystone Honor (Matt Kakaley). Smith is now 4-for-4 since picking up the drive behind Twin B Tenacious. "To be honest, I had the drive the first time (Meadowlands) when a lot of the guys were out of town," Smith said. "He had some chicken lines (breaks) previously, and has doesn't always relax. "I learned you have to let him settle, but when I've asked him, he's finished very well. Twin B Tenacious, a son of Bettor's Delight trained by Casie Coleman for owner West Wins Stable, is 4-for-8 this season. The exacta paid $12, with the triple returning $114. The second ($74,100) statebred event was supposed to be fairly simple work night for Art Rooney Pace winner All Bets Off (Kakaley). However, despite a perfect tow from entrymate I'm All Heart (George Brennan), the 1-5 tandem found themselves run over. Capital Account (Yannick Gingras, $35.80), third-over from post position No. 4, snapped All Bets Off by a half-length in 1:52.4. Big Boys Dreams (Jason Bartlett) was third. Fifth choice Capital Account, a Brittany Farms homebred American Ideal colt trained by Jimmy Takter, is now 4-for-11 this season. The exacta paid $76, with the triple returning $336.50. "This was his best race so far," Gingras said. "Sometimes, he's been known to throw in steps, but tonight, this worked out. When I saw Matt (Kakaley) working (on All Bets Off), I knew I had him beat. "The last time he was here (NYSS last month), he was locked in. If I had come first-up, he'd have won but I had to use him leaving. It was a much better trip tonight." Thursday night's final ($74,100) sires soiree saw Forty Five Red (Brennan, $22.60)—last season's winner of the Lawrence B. Sheppard Pace here—make the lead right at the half and hold sway. Forty Five Red, from post No. 4, took over from Sir Jake's Z Tam (Jordan Stratton) after that one's :27.3 opening quarter-mile. After a :56.3 intermission, it was a 1:24.1 three-quarters and a season's-best 1:52.3 finale, which found Forty Five Red a length better than Winds of Change (Tim Tetrick). Neat (Marcus Miller) was third, while 1-2 choice Stay Up Late (Brian Sears) was a never-in-it dead-heat for fifth. Forty Five Red, a son of If I Can Dream co-owned (as Burke Racing) by (trainer) Ron Burke and Our Horse Cents Stable, has won his last couple after beginning the season 0-for-6. The exacta paid $133, with the triple returning $379.50. "Last week (overnight here), he was all out to win and just didn't race well," Brennan said. "Tonight, I scored him down much harder he was a totally different horse…on the bit and alert." Forty Five Red's winning time Thursday was more than two seconds faster than his previous effort. After Saturday night's $125,000 final of the Sheppard Pace (2-year-old colts/geldings), New York Sire Stakes continue Tuesday night, with the $200,200 Clyde Hirt Pace for 2-year-old fillies colts and geldings. Four, $50,050 groupings go as races 2,4,5 and 6. The Raceway's five-night-per-week live schedule continues, with first post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 PM. Evening simulcasting accompanies all live programs, with afternoon simulcasting available daily. -30- (photos-Mike Lizzi-accompany) (FFI…Frank Drucker, Yonkers Raceway Publicity Director, 914-968-4200)

09.18.2012 - $1.8 Million New York Night of Champions Drawn
YONKERS NY, Tuesday, September 18, 2012–Post positions were drawn Tuesday for Saturday's $1.8 million New York of Champions. Eight, $225,000 divisional finals–for 2- and 3-year-old of both sexes and gaits–comprise the richest night of racing in the state. The races go as Nos. 2 through 9 as part of Yonkers Raceway's 13-race card, with first post at the customary 7:10 PM. The 23rd edition of the Night of Champions again has each of the races sponsored by a prominent Empire breeding farm or ownership group. Here's a quickie, hot-off-the-presses overview… 2nd race–Crawford Farms 2-Year-Old Colt & Gelding Trot–Divisional points leader Tirade Hanover drew well (Brian Sears, post 2) as he goes after a fifth consecutive victory. Company comes in the form of pylon-sitting Fashion Blizzard (Jim Morrill Jr.) and Royalty for Life (Jason Bartlett, post 5), both, like Tirade Hanover, six-figure summer earners. 3rd race–Morrisville College Equine Institute 2-Year-Old Filly Trot–Barn Babe led all lasses during the season, but needed better friends with the open draw. John Cummings Jr. joins her behind the eight-ball. They have their work cut out, what with Lady Riviera (Morrill Jr., post 1), four-wins-in-a-row You Want Me (Tim Tetrick, post 2) and Isabella Gal (Sean Bier, post 6) all in the competitive mix. 4th race–Winbak Farm 2-Year-Old Filly Pace–Summertime Lea (Morrill Jr., post 2), she of the 7-for-8 resume and more than $182,000 this far this season, is joined as a Ron Burke-trained entry with Silk Pajamas (Sears, post 8). Give Me an Amen (Tetrick, post 6) and Freetime (Andy Miller, post 7) have each won half of their eight seasonal starts. 5th race–Cameo Hills Farm 3-Year-Old Filly Pace–Defending sire stakes champ Handsoffmycookie (Tetrick, post 2) and Romantic Moment (Sears, post 6) shared the clubhouse lead in points during the summer. "Cookie" has never lost here (6-for-6) and becomes a career millionairess with a victory, while Romantic Moment enters with three consecutive wins, including the $350,000 Valley Forge down in Philly. Major Look (Miller, post 1) has seven wins and upwards of $264,000 to her credit this season. 6th race–Kenneth J Syndicate LLC 2-Year-Old Colt & Gelding Pace–Trainer Linda Toscano offers up a three-headed monster in points leader Doctor Butch (Tetrick, post 3), Swift as a Shadow (Morrill Jr., post 6) and Deny Deny Deny (Morrill Jr. also listed, post 8). "Butch" has seven wins and three seconds in 10 seasonal starts, and is the fastest (1:52 at Tioga) and richest ($210,024) member of this subsection. 7th race–Stirling Brook Farms 3-Year-Old Filly Trot–Millionairess Win Missy B (Sears, post 4) had never sniffed a small track before her last start, and all she did was obliterate the local track standard (1:54.4) for this group. Cowgirl Hall (Morrill Jr., post 3) and Fortunista (George Brennan, post 7) each have six wins on their seasonal resume, while Kristin's Victory (Steve Smith, post 1) and '11 frosh champ For a Dancer (Jeff Gregory, post 6) have also enjoyed much success. 8th race–Allerage Farm 3-Year-Old Colt & Gelding Trot–Archangel, he of Yonkers Trot, world record and all-age track-record-matching fame (1:54.1), outdrew no one here. With 10 wins and a pair of seconds ($714,236) in 14 seasonal starts (including 5-for-5 in sires), he's the obvious horse to beat despite the impost. Morrill Jr. takes his regular seat. Brookroad Knight (Gregory, post 2), Mado Dream (Brennan, post 5) and Coraggioso (Sears, post 6) all enter sharp as well. 9th race–Blue Chip Farms 3-Year-Old Colt & Gelding Pace–Defending NYSS champ Heston Blue Chip (Tetrick, post 6) is 20-for-24 lifetime, including 9-for-11 this season and 4-for-4 in sire stakes company. While he's spent time outside of the Empire, Forever Just (Gregory, post 7) tackled the Thruway and was the points leader. Major Bombay (Morrill Jr., post 1) is also entered in Thursday's Little Brown Jug, while Joe Pavia Jr. as trainer has a pair in Steelhead Hanover (Sears, post 4) and Bet on the Law (Morrill Jr. also listed, post 5). The Raceway continues its normal five-night-per-week live schedule, with first post every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:10 PM.

Yes, it's going on–right under our noses. Worldwide, more than five million kids have been bought and sold, forced into prostitution, or made to work at grueling, dangerous jobs with little or no pay. Many of them are right here in the United States. There have been reports of human trafficking in all 50 U.S. states (Trafficking in Persons Report, 2011). The U.S. is a source and transit point for trafficking and is considered one of the major destinations for trafficking victims. This sickens me.
Trafficking of children is a grave violation of their rights, robbing them of their childhood, their well-being, and the opportunity to reach their full potential. No country is untouched by human trafficking as a source, transit point, or destination.– Dr. Susan Bissell Chief of Child Protection, UNICEF
But, when I think of trafficking, I think of young girls being forced to be sex slaves. While that is true in many cases, kids are also being sold into labor trafficking. This can occur in restaurants, bars, tourist industries, and in janitorial and agricultural work. Other areas include begging rings, traveling sales crews, and domestic servitude. Even the products we buy in our everyday lives may have been harvested or produced by the victims of child trafficking. There are 128 "worst offenders"— goods that are most commonly produced by child labor or forced labor. Some goods that have the highest rates of child labor are: gold, sugarcane, coal, cotton, rice, tobacco, cocoa, diamonds, garments, coffee, bricks, carpets.
Active in child protection in more than 150 countries, UNICEF is the primary UN agency focusing on the rights of children and approaches trafficking as a serious violation of these rights. UNICEF works closely with governments at the national and local levels to combat child trafficking. Here's how you can help:
- Find out how the work of exploited people has a direct effect on your life. Visit the Slavery Footprint website to take an online survey that helps you determine how many slaves touch the products you buy. Through the site's action center and mobile app, consumers are invited to take action and call for ethically sourced products.
- Support policies that protect victims of trafficking. Ask your senator to reauthorize the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (S. 1301). Visit volunteers.unicefusa.org/advocate for a sample letter.
- Write an article about human trafficking for your local newspaper or community blog. Don't feel comfortable writing it yourself? Write to the editors of the paper and ask them to do a piece on it.
- Visit President Lincoln's Cottage in Washington, D.C. The "Can You Walk Away" exhibit is open year round. Admission is free.
- Volunteer in a professional capacity. Because modern-day slavery touches all of our lives in some way, you have a role to play no matter what your line of work is. Do pro bono legal work, promote products made by survivors with your marketing skills, use your athletic platform to engage fans on the issue, or create an artistic piece to raise awareness about human trafficking. The possibilities are endless.
- Walk for freedom. Join or organize a walk in your city to raise awareness about human trafficking. For more information on how to organize a walk, visit forsakengeneration.com/about/freedomwalk/.
- Petition the President of the United States. Ask President Obama to sign the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This international treaty recognizes that children are not possessions, but people who have human rights. Visit unicefusa.org/advocate to learn more.
- Switch to Fair Trade brands. Fair Trade-certified products are produced without slave or child labor. Profits from Fair Trade products support farmers and laborers involved in production and ensure that they are paid fairly and work under safe conditions.
- Purchase products made by survivors of human trafficking. From jewelry and handbags to lotion and soccer balls –purchasing survivor-made products helps to support sustainable employment and rehabilitation programs for survivors. Start shopping. Visit polarisproject.org/take-action/raise-awareness/buy-productsmade-by-survivors
- Advocate for state laws addressing human trafficking. Visit polarisproject.org/what-we-do/policy-advocacy/state-policy. Advocate for victims by visiting change.org's human trafficking petition page.

Pan-Indian cooking, with expertly balanced spicing and a lightness of touch; seek gravitas in the ground-floor dining room, more date-appeal in the basement.
Please note, Moti Mahal is now closed and has been replaced by Margot. Time Out Eating & Drinking editors, Nov 2016.
Class, poise, judgement: these words might well be embossed on Moti Mahal's burnished copper bar, beside the serried ranks of expensive whiskies. This London outpost of Delhi's celebrated restaurant group is geared to international business diners and priced accordingly. Weighty linen tablecloths, polished wooden flooring, an ambient soundtrack and a spotless open kitchen (viewed behind a curvaceous glass partition) lend gravitas to the ground-floor dining room – as do diligent, multinational staff and a bulky wine list. The basement, with its enveloping red-velvet banquettes, has more date-appeal.
The food? It's moderately inventive pan-Indian, with expertly balanced spicing and a lightness of touch evident in the superb breads and rice. We were sad to see brain had slipped from the menu, but noted the varied choice of vegetarian dishes, including jackfruit in a roasted onion and coconut masala. Perfect salad specimens presented on a board with DIY spicing (in pestle and mortar) account for the £1.50 cover charge. An à la carte starter of crab and quail's egg rolls had ample flavour and just-cooked zing, though the eggs were quite rubbery; a set-lunch main of gosht shakarkandi was like rogan josh, with beautifully tender lamb and dense, flavour-soaked chunks of sweet potato. Puddings are also worth exploring. You'll get high-class cooking in impressive surroundings, but gastronomic adventurers might yearn for more thrills – and blench at the prices: £7.50 for a nondescript lassi, anyone?
|Venue name:
|Moti Mahal
45 Great Queen Street
|Opening hours:

|George Steinbrenner
NEW YORK (rushPRnews) 07/13/10 — New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner died Tuesday morning of a massive heart attack
Steinbrenner, who turned 80 on July 4, reportedly suffered a heart attack at his home in Tampa, Fla., Monday night,the team confirmed Tuesday. He was taken to hospital after emergency crews arrived at Steinbrenner's house. Team spokesman Howard Rubenstein said Steinbrenner died Tuesday morning.
The once-controversial figure known as "The Boss" had seen his health decline in recent years, and he had largely been kept out of the public eye.
Steinbrenner, known to many as "The Boss", took over the Yankees in 1973. Under his ownership, the team captured seven World Series titles and 11 American League pennants.
Steinbrenner officially turned over day-to-day operations of the Yankees organization in November 2008 to his sons Hank and Hal.
Steinbrenner's death came two days after the Yankees' beloved public-address announcer Bob Sheppard died at 99.
The Yankees are +125 to win their second straight American League Pennant.

John Roberts (Dial, Laid | Berlin) LIVE
Mike Parker (Geophone, Prologue, Aquaplano | Buffalo)
Bryan Kasenic (The Bunker | Brooklyn)
Mike Servito (The Bunker, Ghostly | Brooklyn)
John Roberts is an old friend of The Bunker, which was his regular haunt when he lived in Brooklyn, before he started releasing his music. You may recall him DESTROYING the front room of our anniversary parties in both 2009 and 2010. Since then, he has been playing shows all over the globe and releasing records on Dial and it's vinyl only sub-label, Laid. He has a new album coming in a few months that will be part of the set tonight. Definitely looking forward to having John back in town to do what he does best: wreck shop with some of the deepest house music imaginable.
Check out John Roberts' Beats in Space set:
When we first invited Donato Dozzy to play at The Bunker in 2009, we realized we couldn't bring him all the way to Brooklyn without inviting his dear friend Mike Parker, who lives nearby in Buffalo, New York. Mike impressed the hell out of us with amazing sets after Donato in both Brooklyn and Philadelphia, and again when we brought him back to The Bunker in 2011. Mike has an all analog studio set-up and records his tracks live in one take, which are then self-released with his own screenprints as cover art. He has been making his special brand of uncompromising deep trippy techno since 1997, long before it was in vogue. Mike is a true visionary making music for all the right reasons, and treats techno more as a sacred art project than a career, which is very refreshing to say the least.

Bryan Kasenic (pka Spinoza) is known in the electronic music world for throwing many incredible parties, playing adventurous DJ sets, and starting Beyond, his own booking agency. The past few years have seen Bryan take his infamous Brooklyn-based party, The Bunker, to Panorama Bar in Berlin, Unsound Festival in Krakow, Communikey Festival in Boulder, Decibel Festival in Seattle, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Philadelphia, and of course Detroit. The Bunker celebrates it's tenth anniversary in January.
check out Bryan's page on Beyond:
Mike Servito is from a very special yet temporary and partially lost fertile crescent of techno / house / party DJing. It was a time when raves were still a fresh idea, almost felt like a revolution, and DJs like Claude Young, D Wynn, Derrick Carter and Mike Huckaby were informing an upcoming generation. If you look directly to that inspired generation you will find the lost threads of Detroit Techno, House and beyond, you will find a group of DJs with insanely deep mixing skills, the ability to rock almost any kind of party with an improvisational approach that is so skilled it makes everything seem so well thought out that even they don't know where their set will go. But, it will take you there! In the future, this special generation of deep midwest mixers will be remembered and revered as the wizards they are, long after the trendy players have lost their luster. Mike Servito's upfront dirty deep and bitchy taste has had an impact on Detroit nightlife for over a decade. Moving to Brooklyn, Detroit's loss has been our gain, as he has found a proper home with a new residency at the Bunker, and worldwide representation from Beyond Booking.
