An Overview-Post 24
So 20 time is over and TedX is done. im very glad to have had the opportunity to speak at the event. Overall i had a good experience with 20 time. Even though my project didnt have an actual goal to achieve, im happy with the end result because i connected it to something i love, volunteering. I can see the viewpoint from some people and why they might not like it, but i think they just picked the wrong project. for years to come, i think that the blog post should be adjusted. One of my biggest problems was that i ran out of things to write about every week. I think if you give the students a set number of blog posts they need to do, they can write when they actually have something to write about and get better results. I think that the in class time should not change. Even though i agree with my classmates who say they dont feel prepared for next year, i know that without the in class time i would never do my blog posts. I think more students should do 20 time. i have heard numerous kids in my grade talk about the project they would have done if they had the chance and i think that chance should be given to them. My project for example gave me a deeper look into what i really love to do and i learned multiple lessons from it. My biggest advice to students doing this next year is to pick a project you love. Make sure its something you really want to do. I know so many people who ended up hating their project and ended up faking the whole process because they just wernt into it. I really enjoyed speaking a TedX, but i probably wouldnt want it at school again. I think it was the wrong target audience and was just destined to be mostly parents in attendance which made it less special. Overall im really glad i got to try out 20 Time and my project will never end.

Finally Went Somewhere Else- Post 23
So this past weekend I finally went and explored another part of Detroit. After brunch on Sunday my family decided they wanted to go check out Belle Isle since now it is owned by the state instead of the city. Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised. I used to spend every day on Belle Isle due to rowing at the Detroit Boat Club so I was well aware on how bad of shape it was in. We drove around the island for about an hour and drove on streets I never knew even existed. Overall, the island looked great! They had cleaned all the bridges,the fountain, and the ponds were cleared of all the rubble that filled them. They had planted flowers everywhere and it just looked really good. While we where driving around we decided to go check out the aquarium that just reopened and I was surprised. They had a pretty good amount of fish in there and some of them I had never even heard of but they were super cool. Some of the tanks were being used as display showing off things you can support from other places in Detroit. Next we walked next door to the botanical gardens which were awesome. There were multiple rooms with different type of plants in each room. My favorite room was the tropical room even though it was super hot. If seemed like I was in a jungle. Even though these places are doing very well they still need donations, if you can please go visit and donate money or any supplies.

Missing Spring Break- Post 22
So over The past 2 weeks I've started working on my slides and putting the pictures in them. Pretty much my slides are going to be a few of the pictures I have taken and I'm going to talk about them briefly. The next week I was on Spring Break in Siesta Key, Florida and honestly I wasn't really thinking about my project. I'm hoping by my next post I will be mostly done so wish me luck!

Such a Struggle- Post 21
So this past two weeks it's been a big struggle. I tried to write out my talk which failed miserably. I realized I was trying so hard to add enthusiasm and to write out my whole talk that it became super scripted. After getting super frustrated I stopped working on it, but I plan on taking a new approach this week. This week I'm going to set up my slide show and then just try talking from what shows up on the slide. I think that will be a lot easier. I don't know how I feel about talking about the economy because it's something I'm not interested in at all. If I decide use that topic after all it will only be briefly and then volunteering will be easy for me to talk about. I hope it will work out in the end and I'll have more to talk about next week.

Closer to TED-Post 20
So this past 2 weeks I've been really trying to work on my presentation. Thankfully I got permission from my Youth Group leader to use the pictures taken from one of my volunteer projects that have definitely changed my life and opened my eyes to a little more of the world. Also I've been starting to write out my speech that has been jumbling up in my mind at 2 a.m. so it's been a bit of a relief. After my whole speech is written out and I time it to make sure it reaches the 8 minute minimum I am going to put together my slides to go with my talk which is going to include a few of my pictures from the places I've been to. I need to get a little familiar with the economy since that is going to be part of my talk and definitely the hardest. Once I get to the volunteer part it should be easy since it's more relatable to me and I get to tell my own stories. I'm super excited to share my presentation and really want to be in The TED Talk so I hope it all works out!

Starting My Presentation-Post 19
So this week I've come to a turning point in my 20 time project. After I decided what I am talking about in my presentation I told Mr.Provenzano and he approved! So now I'm onto my next task; working on my actual presentation. So now I am working on my speech and writing it out in my Evernote notebook. I also have to ask permission to use pictures from one of my volunteer projects from the person that took them. I definitely think the pictures will add something to my project so I hope they agree. After I figure out my speech I will be working on my slides for my presentation. Next post I will be giving you a better update!

Questions I Answered- post 18
This week I am supposed to answer a few questions about my protect so here we go! So far what I have liked most about 20 time is that we get to work on it during class and get to hear how our classmates are doing on there's so far. I think the thing I least like about 20 time is that we watch Ted Talks all the time now instead of working on our projects. If I could do something differently about my project I would be more good about going places and make sure to follow through and go. Not much has gone on with my project this week so I don't have anything new to report. I hope I will have more next week!

I just got back from the range. I tried a box of their .45 that i bought back in Oct with the load of .380. I fired 3 mags slow and then fired one rapid, and my Colt .45's extractor broke off. I don't really know that the ammo had anything to do with it, as i have fire a lot of rounds through it in 35 years and it might have been metal fatigue.
That was my one and only purchase of Russian.

It felt funny asking on a record-tying 87-degree day, but when I went to mail a package earlier this week, I couldn't help myself.
"When will you be receiving Christmas stamps?"
I had already purchased invitations for my annual Christmas party. Stamping them was my next step.
"We've been getting that question a lot," the cashier told me. "It'll be around Oct. 15."
When I saw her motioning toward a poster featuring this year's Christmas stamps, I checked it out, eager to explore my options. (Not all stamps are created equal, you know.)
"The ornaments are kind of cute," she said. "They're calling them 'holiday baubles.' Not Christmas ornaments."
I could hear the exasperation in her voice, and we shared a chuckle over the ridiculousness of that name.
"That whole PC thing drives me nut," she confessed.
Back home, I checked them out online. Sure enough: "Holiday Baubles," with a description that pulled off some verbal gymnastics in order to avoid the C-word:
These festive Holiday Baubles (Forever®) stamps feature four colorful ornaments sure to add to the joys of the holiday season. These baubles may also inspire fond memories of beloved tree ornaments from childhood-objects that still have the power to enchant us today.
While styles from the 1950s inspired the ornaments depicted in the stamp art, sincere wishes for happy holidays never go out of fashion. These stamps offer a fashionably "retro" way to enhance the season's greetings.
But I am grateful for the Madonna and Child stamp, which the U.S. Postal Service has been featuring as its "traditional Christmas stamp" since 1978. I take a pride in using such distinctly Catholic stamps.
I love the "Madonna and Sleeping Child by Sassoferrato" the Postal Service has offered the last two years – it depicts such a warm, loving embrace with that golden glow – but the Madonna and Child post offices will sell this year is "Madonna of the Candelabra by Raphael." It's colder and not as tender, but I suppose it was time to mix it up, and I do appreciate the description of the painting, which was produced in the Vatican City because of a papal commission:
The artist known to posterity as Raphael had it all — he was talented, handsome, and even-tempered. At a very young age, he became a great master of the Italian High Renaissance. A detail from his painting, Madonna of the Candelabra, showing the Madonna and Child, is the traditional Christmas stamp for 2011.
He was born Raffaello Sanzio in the city of Urbino in 1483, where his father taught him to paint. He was being called a "master" artist while still in his teens. Drawn by the reputations of Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he went to Florence as a young man to soak up that city's learning.
In 1508, Raphael was summoned by Pope Julius II to Rome, where he spent the last dozen years of his short life in an inspired burst of activity. The masterpieces he produced there include the painting reproduced on this stamp, Madonna of the Candelabra by Raphael (Forever®), dating to around 1513.
Raphael ran a large and active workshop. Assistants certainly painted the angels (not shown in the stamp art) flanking the central figures in Madonna of the Candelabra, and possibly other parts. This tondo (circular painting), oil on panel, is now in the collection of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland.
And when it comes to Catholic stamps, I'm still very pleased the Postal Service dedicated a Mother Teresa stamp last September. I loaded up when they arrived at our local post office and felt a little lift every time I peeled one off, picturing her joyful, creased smile paving the path for my mail, greeting carriers and recipients as only she can.
I'll choose to focus on our postage victories, but I refuse to call Christmas ornaments "holiday baubles." Are you with me?

Low-Carb Diet
While its popularity has waned a little, the low-carb plans still have loyal followers.Top Rated Diet Shakes of 2017
They say history and fashion repeat themselves. And apparently the same is true for diet trends. What we now know as the carb-fad, first came out in the 1970s. It caught just as much criticism then for potential health risks as it in recent years. With more research and science backing the idea than ever before, low-carb diets are popular and more acceptable.
We saw how Dr. Robert Atkins devoted his life to showing the benefits of practicing a low-carb lifestyle. A low-carb diet can most notably shed pounds, but followers have also found their cholesterol to decrease and that they have more energy. With Atkins as the flagship low-carb diet, there are many others promoting the positive, lasting effects including The Zone, South Beach and Carb Addicts.
While each of these low-carb diets puts their own spin on the program, they're all rooted in the same principles: limitation of carbs and inclusion of fat and protein.
By eliminating carbs from your diet, you're effectively decreasing the production of glucose, which is involved with regulating blood sugar and weight. When there are no new carbohydrates entering the body, it is forced to start relying on storage. When these carbs are burned, water is produced. This results in loss of water weight. Once the body has used up all the stored carbs, it turns to fat for energy. This fat is then burned off to give your body the energy it needs. That's when you see the anticipated results.
Do You Know the Best Diet Shakes of 2017?
- It's become more acceptable with mainstream healthcare experts.
- There are studies that show low-carb diets produce positive results for those seeking to lose weight and manage their cholesterol.
- There are still critics who contend that the high consumption of fat during a low-carb diet can be detrimental to your health in the long run.
With a low-carb diet comes the dismissal of stand-by, starchy favorites. You'll say goodbye to bread, pasta, potatoes, cookies and so much more. The flip side is that you can indulge in all the butter, bacon, eggs and cheese you can eat. Each plan varies slightly, with some less strict plans allowing produce and whole grains.EXERCISE
Depends on the plan, but most have accompanying exercise recommendations.CONCLUSION
There are plenty of low-carb approaches you can choose from. But they all share the basic principles of eliminating certain carbs and stressing proteins and healthy fats. While there are still critics, most of these plans aren't as drastic in the long run as you may think.Common Misspellings

Watched Gary Taubes' presentation and went onto Atkins Diet. After 5 weeks I am down 15lbs and at my ideal weight. I am increasing veggies and fruits. Have more energy and endurance and feel great. Spent years on starvation diets with poor results. Why are the medical profession still advocating approaches to weight loss/exercise that just don't work?
i love the atkins low carb diet, in just two weeks i lost 20 pounds by eating the foods i love. my goal is to lose 60 lbs by my birthday .
Eat lean meats and green veggies only for 1-2 weeks.U lose lbs but dont feel starved or deprived. It works great.
It's true. I'm doing low carb. It's working well. My blood sugar is under control. I'm losing weight and I eat way more salad than I ever used to on a "healthy diet" and now I like it because instead of low fat crap dressing, I get the real stuff, RANCH!
Low-carb works. I have done it mutiple times and I lose weight. Its when I go back to eating alot of unhealthy carbs that I start to gain the weight back. That is not to say tha you will never be able to eat a cookie again, however most of us don't just eat one or two cookies. The best way to do atkins is to stick with leaner meats...chicken, turkey, fish. Your cholestrol wont be affected as much. Also eat green leafy vegetables. By doing this not only will you lose weight but you will be getting rid of the waste in your body on a regular basis. Now for those of you like me who crave something sweet every so often, atkins make some decent snacks that help you through those tough time. Also you can try one of my favorite low carb desserts....sugar free jello with whipped cream....mmmmm
The biggest mistake people make is thinking that you cut out veggies, You wont ever eat as many veggies as you do on low carb because they take the place of alot of the usless carbs you eat. Broccoli and dip instead of chips. Dont fall prey to the naysayers, low carb is the heathiest way to eat. Most importantly low carb works and works well
THIS WORKS, I went on it twice and both times was able to loose 60 pounds after having my babies!!! I was in the best health of my life and full of energy! I recommed it to anyone!!! ATKINS is KING!!!!!
A lot of people take it to extremes, A diet of eggs and bacon isn't good. Include whole grains, veggies, lean proteins. Get rid of all the useless carbs- sugar, potatoes, pasta, garbage foods. I have lost 65 pounds this way. It IS an adjustment but worked better than anything I've ever tried!
Thanks for the overview. It was good to see low-carb as a whole and not a specific spin like Atkins or Beach.
You guys- I've seriously never been on a tougher diet. But I've also never lost the weight and been able to keep it off like this. I went crazy for bread and potatos at first, but you don't miss them for long. Especially when you step on the scale and see its working!!!
I just don't understand how it can be healthy to cut out fruit and vegetables? They have nutrients that your body needs. I also don't understand how that much fat can do any good.

Crewe 2-2 Peterborough
- From the section Football
Michael Bostwick headed an injury-time equaliser as high-flying Peterborough United snatched a draw at Crewe.
Summer signing Vadaine Oliver opened his account for Crewe on 15 minutes, sliding in from a Brad Inman cross.
AJ Leitch-Smith then slotted a second six minutes later with a one-touch finish from Lee Molyneux's long pass.
Tyrone Barnett halved Crewe's lead by the break, after Mark Little's shot was saved, before Bostwick steered in Lee Tomlin's corner to complete the rescue.
Barnett could have had two in a first half dominated by the visitors, but he crashed his free header off the post after a mix-up between goalkeeper Steve Phillips and defender Mark Ellis.
The Posh striker eventually found the mark, pouncing on a loose ball to lash home after Phillips had denied Little.
Posh then piled on the pressure, Phillips keeping out a powerful Barnett header and Tomlin blazing over the bar late on, before Bostwick struck in the second minute of added time.
Crewe Alexandra boss Steve Davis told BBC Radio Stoke:
"It's a case of mixed emotions. I was really pleased with our performance against one of the form teams in this league but I'm just disappointed that we chucked it away a bit.
"We just made sloppy mistakes. We weren't clearing our lines when we should have done.
"Their equaliser hit one of our lads in the face before it went in. That's the way it's going for us at the moment
"I changed to get round to get some goals from somewhere and it's nice that both strikers have scored."
Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire:
"Whenever you're 2-0 down, to get anything out of it the players deserve credit for that. We kept going.
"I thought we started the game magnificently, with complete control but goals change games and, after their first two shots at goal, we're 2-0 down.
"It's important that, when you have a defeat you don't lose the next game and whenever you're trying to achieve what we are this season, you can't afford to lose two games on the bounce.
"We've got to really get more clean sheets. We don't do that well enough. It's a big area we need to improve on."

MADISON -- The Thursday Morning Club's "Homes for the Holidays" House Tour will showcase six homes in the Madison and Harding Township area from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday, Nov 17.
"The homes on our tour provide glimpses into the history of the area and demonstrate how to retain the charm and character of yesteryear while adding the modern conveniences people need today," said Karen Jeisi, chairwoman of the tour.
"The homes, ranging from Queen Anne, Colonial Classic, and Gothic to Contemporary architectural styles, are excellent representatives of life and history from the end of the 18th century to the current day," Jeisi said. "Not only will visitors have the opportunity to see some beautiful and interesting homes, but they will also be supporting the Madison Community House, used by 50,000 area residents each year."
The Community House at 25 Cook Ave., a hub of civic programs and charitable services, is owned and operated by the Thursday Morning Club.
"We don't share the addresses until the day of the tour," Jeisi noted, while providing some descriptions to "give you a sense of the distinctive nature of the special homes."
Houses On The Tour
• Called "Stonehenge" in the original architectural drawing, a gothic home on the tour has a distinctive exterior, a grand staircase and lovely moldings throughout. Built between 1897 and 1905, it has been enhanced through the years with changes that include a beautiful kitchen and modern baths.
• Built in the 1890s, one restored home on the tour juxtaposes the traditional and modern in both art and furniture. Special features include a stained glass skylight in the landings and foyer, a music room, and a kitchen with a La Cornue stove. The basement has a game and craft room, and the pool, courtyard and outdoor kitchen can be viewed from the balcony of the master bedroom.
• A charmingly authentic Queen Anne Victorian home on the tour is part of a housing development built by the Smith Brothers in 1896. The house was extended to enlarge the family room, kitchen and master bedroom and was named the "Best Addition of 2009" by the New Jersey Council on Architecture (NJCA).
• One stately home on the tour, steeped in the history of Madison, was built between 1872 and 1892 by a charter member of the Thursday Morning Club. The present home is the core of the original 40-room house after the third floor was removed. The owners have spent 35 years restoring the lovely home, reminiscent of the "Gilded Age" of Madison.
• Built in 1985, a secluded townhouse on the tour is an attractive option for downsizing and simplicity. The owners of the spacious townhouse raised the sunken living room, completely remodeled the kitchen, master bedroom and bath, and enhanced the family room on the lower level with a bright office area.
• Listed on the National and State Register of Historic Places, a Colonial classic on the tour, built around 1780, has witnessed the parade of history as its owners were hosts to famous and influential people. Recently renovated, it has a magnificent kitchen, graciously decorated rooms and sits on a beautiful property.
And There's More
Tickets can be purchased on the day of the tour for $45, beginning at 9:15 a.m. this Saturday, Nov. 17, at the Madison Community House at 25 Cook Ave., which will be the meeting place for all of Saturday's activities, including the house tour and more.
While the focus of the day will be the house tour of six homes, club members are busy adding further attractions at the Community House. Club members will donate baked goods to "La Patisserie," where pies, pastries, loaf breads and cookies will be for sale.
A "Restaurants Fund-Raising Event" will offer gift certificates to more than 30 popular restaurants.
The Community House also will host a sale of extraordinary fashion and jewelry accessories by Patchpoint of the Short Hills section of Millburn, and Silver Touches of Florham Park, this Saturday.
Complimentary coffee will be served from 9 to 11 a.m.
Proceeds from the event will provide funds for the renovated Madison Community House, which is owned, operated and maintained by the Thursday Morning Club.
"The Nursery School, Before and After School Child Care program, enrichment classes, as well as many other community programs will benefit from the fund-raiser," said Rose Mary Dinnhaupt, the club's Ways and Means chairwoman.

In sport, a jockey is one who rides horses in horse racing or steeplechase racing, primarily as a profession. The word also applies to camel riders in camel racing.
The word is by origin a diminutive of "jock", the Northern English or Scots colloquial equivalent of the first name "John," which is also used generically for "boy, or fellow" (compare "Jack", "Dick"), at least since 1529. A familiar instance of the use of the word as a name is in "Jockey of Norfolk" in Shakespeare's Richard III. v. 3, 304.
In the 16th and 17th centuries the word was applied to horse-dealers, postilions, itinerant minstrels and vagabonds, and thus frequently bore the meaning of a cunning trickster, a "sharp", whence the verb to jockey, "to outwit", or "to do" a person out of something. The current usage which means a person who rides a horse in races was first seen in 1670.[1]
Physical characteristics
Jockeys have a reputation for being very short, but there are no height limits, only weight limits. A rider can be of any height if they can still make weight, but it is still generally limited to fairly short individuals because of the limits on a person's body.[citation needed] Jockeys typically range from 5' to 5'7" in height[citation needed].
The role of the jockey
Jockeys are normally self employed, nominated by horse trainers to ride their horses in races, for a fee (which is paid regardless of the prize money the horse earns for a race) and a cut of the purse winnings. In Australia, employment of apprentice jockeys is in terms of indenture to a master (a trainer); and there is a clear employee/employer relationship. When an apprentice jockey finishes his apprenticeship and becomes a "fully fledged jockey", the nature of their employment and insurance requirements change because they are regarded as "freelance", like contractors. Jockeys often cease their riding careers to take up other employment in racing, usually as trainers. In this way the apprenticeship system serves to induct young people into racing employment.
Jockeys usually start out when they are young, riding work in the morning for trainers, and entering the riding profession as an apprentice jockey. It is normally necessary for an apprentice jockey to ride a minimum of about 20 barrier trials successfully before being permitted to commence riding in races. An apprentice jockey is known as a "bug boy" because the asterisk that follows the name in the program looks like a bug.[2] All jockeys must be licensed and usually are not permitted to bet on a race. An apprentice jockey has a master, who is a horse trainer, and also is allowed to "claim" weight off the horse's back (if a horse were to carry 58 kg, and the apprentice was able to claim 3 kg, the horse would only have to carry 55 kg on its back) in some races. This allowance is adjusted according to the number of winners that the apprentice has ridden. After a 4 year indentured apprenticeship, the apprentice becomes a senior jockey[3] and would usually develop relationships with trainers and individual horses. Sometimes senior jockeys are paid a retainer by an owner which gives the owner the right to insist the jockey rides their horses in races.
Racing modeled on the English Jockey Club spread throughout the world with colonial expansion.
Racing colours
The colours worn by jockeys in races are the registered "colours" of the owner or trainer who employs them. The practice of horsemen wearing colours probably stems from medieval times when jousts were held between knights. But the origins of racing colours of multifarious patterns that are seen today may have been influenced by racing held in Italian city communities since medieval times. Such traditional events are still held on town streets and are remarkable for furious riding and the colourful spectacle they offer.
Getting white breeches and bib, stock or cravat known as "silks" is a rite of passage when a jockey is first able to don silken pants and colours in their first race ride, and it has a parallel in how lawyers are spoken of as "taking silk". At one time silks were invariably made of silk, though now synthetics are sometimes used instead. Nevertheless, the silks and their colours are important symbols evoking emotions of loyalty and festivity.
Various awards are given annually by organizations affiliated with the sport of thoroughbred racing in countries throughout the world. They include:
- United States
- United Kingdom
Risk factors
Horse racing is a sport where jockeys may incur permanent, debilitating, and even life-threatening injuries. Chief among them include concussion, bone fractures, arthritis, trampling, and paralysis. Jockey insurance premiums remain among the highest of all professional sports.[4] Between 1993 and 1996, 6,545 injuries occurred during official races for an injury rate of 606 per 1,000 jockey years.[5]
Eating disorders (such as anorexia) are also very common among jockeys, as the athletes face extreme pressure to maintain unusually low (and specific) weights for men, sometimes within a five pound (2.3 kg) margin.[6] The bestselling historical novel Seabiscuit: An American Legend chronicled the eating disorders of jockeys living in the first half of the Twentieth century. As in the cases of champion jockey Kieren Fallon and Robert Winston, the pressure to stay light has been blamed in part for driving the men to alcoholism.[citation needed]
Women jockeys
Australia and New Zealand
During the 1850s amateur "ladies only" events were held in Victoria, Australia but women were not permitted to ride as professional jockeys or on professional tracks.
Although women jockeys were barred from riding at registered race meetings, in the mid-1900s Wilhemena Smith rode as Bill Smith at north Queensland racecourses. She was nicknamed Bill Girlie Smith because she arrived on course with her riding gear on under her clothes and did not shower on course. It was only at the time of her death in 1975 that the racing world was officially told that Bill was really Wilhemena. Subsequent inquiries revealed that William Smith was actually a woman who had been born Wilhemena Smith in a Sydney hospital in 1886.[7] In an era when women were clearly denied equality, she had become known as a successful jockey in Queensland country districts as 'Bill Smith'.
During the late 1960s restrictions against female trainers were lifted in Australia, but female jockeys were still confined to "ladies only" events, which were held on non-professional tracks.
The Victoria Racing Club in 1974 permitted female jockeys to be registered for professional "ladies only" events.
In 1978 racing rules in New Zealand were amended to permit female jockeys.
In Australia Pam O'Neill and Linda Jones, in 1979, were the pioneers that forced jockey club officials to grant women the right to compete on an equal footing in registered races against men. They were unquestionably the first women jockeys to be licensed to ride in the metropolitan areas of Australia. Previously women had been riding against men in Australia at the unregistered "all-height" meetings. Pam created a world record for any jockey, male or female, when she rode a treble at Southport on her first day's riding.[8] Australia's top woman jockey, Bev Buckingham, became the first female jockey in the Southern Hemisphere to win 1,000 races. In 1998, in a fall at the Elwick Racecourse (Hobart), she broke her neck. She used a wheelchair until she regained her strength and was able to walk again without assistive devices.[9]
In 2004-05 Clare Lindop won the Adelaide jockeys' premiership and became the first women to win a metropolitan jockeys' premiership on mainland Australia.
Lisa Cropp won the 2006 New Zealand jockeys' premiership for the second consecutive season.[10]
In 2005, Andrea Leek became the first woman to ride the winner of the Grand National Hurdle (4,300 m) at Flemington when she won aboard Team Heritage.[11]
Women today account for 17% of jockeys in Victoria. But, they receive only 10% of the rides, and are often overlooked in favour of male jockeys, especially in the cities.[12]
In some regions of Australia about half of the apprentice jockey intakes are female.[13]
United States
In 1969, Diane Crump was the first female rider ever registered to ride in a Thoroughbred race in the United States. This event was at the recently closed Hialeah Park Race Track in Florida.[14] Others soon followed suit and American women jockeys have proved their ability with Mary Doser winning six races on a card at Great Lakes Downs[15] and at least four others riding more than 1,000 winners each.[16]
The emergence of women jockeys in the 1970s followed a wider cultural trend in female interest in sports. The emergence did raise argument about the suitability of women in the demanding role of jockeys, and whilst there are a number of high-level female jockeys, the profession is still dominated by men.
Robot jockeys
To replace child jockeys whose use had been deplored by human rights organizations, a camel race in Doha, Qatar for the first time featured robots at the reins. On July 13, 2005, workers fixed robotic jockeys on the backs of seven camels and raced the machine-mounted animals around a track. Operators controlled the jockeys remotely, signaling them to pull their reins and prod the camels with whips.[17]

Originally, it was Samsung's intention to have KNOX ship on the Samsung Galaxy S4, which hits U.S. soil as soon as this Saturday for AT&T. But Sammy now is delaying the release of the security software so that it can undergo more internal testing and testing by the carriers who will need to support it. One anonymous source says that KNOX won't be released until July.
Eventually, Samsung expects KNOX to ship on some Samsung Galaxy devices. With the popularity of the Samsung Galaxy S4, the OEM has a chance to make its flagship Android model the new "go-to" phone for the enterprise, replacing BlackBerry. The latter, with its above average email client, messaging capabilities and physical QWERTY keyboard, had been considered the businessman's phone for years until the touchscreen revolution caught management of the company in denial. Now, after losing more than just a few contracts to iOS or Android, BlackBerry is trying to fightback with its new OS and phones. But this could be the year that Samsung takes over in the office. It is no surprise that the latest ads for the company's top-shelf smartphones showed both the Samsung Galaxy S III and Samsung GALAXY Note II being used in a BYOD environment at a made-up software company about to launch a new game.

" Brand: Clearasil / Texture: Cream / Type: Face Cream / Subcategory: Wash / Texture: Gel/Fluid / Skin type: for dry skin and for all types / What it does: Cleanses, "
We have all seen the adverts for clearasil so when I saw this product on offer in my local store I thought I would give it a go.
I don't have very spotty skin, a few underlying spots here and there so I liked the idea of "deep cleanse" and "conditioning cream".
Deep Cleanse: It did clean my skin, I'll give it that. I was left with the smooth feeling afterwards but no different than using regular facewash.
Conditioning Cream: Conditioning? No. Not so much, my skin wasn't left feel particularly soft or conditioned in any way. The product was certainly creamy, it had a shiney glow to it but it didn't spread nicely.
I was expecting a foamy creamy substance but it was more of a watery paste type thing, it was not nice to use or even to get off. It was more of a spread than a cream wash.
Further notes: I have quite sensitive skin and was a bit nervous about using this so I did a test patch. It didn't bring me out in a rash although felt tingly.
At such a low price you could give it a go if you want but there are better out there. Much better.
I bought this face wash as I suffer from acne, but at the same time have quite dry and sensitive skin- absolute nightmare! It claims to help clear your skin without drying it out, which sounded too good to be true and, unfortunately, in my case it was.
The wash itself has a creamy texture and doesn't really foam all that much, so it is difficult to distribute it evenly over your face. I also found that this texture meant it was difficult to wash off effectively.
One good thing was that it definitely didn't dry out my skin, in fact, it helped it feel soft and well moisturised. However, it didn't help clear my skin at all and after using it, if anything, it felt like my skin had been clogged even further.
I wouldn't recommend this product as I found that it didn't really work, however, everyones skin is different so at only about £3 it might be worth giving it a go.
For those like myself who don't usually spend much on lots of skincare products, this wash comes third in my list of essential products after moisturiser and pore scrub.
The wash claims that "The foaming antibacterial cream formula washes away dirt, oil and spot-causing bacteria. It contains conditioners to soften the skin and prevent over-drying."
It claims to give you "Clear, soft skin without over-drying".
*Using the face wash*
The upside-down squeeze-bottle design makes it easy to squeeze out some of the wash (a pea-sized amount is all you need). It is a toothpaste like white paste with a nice pearlescence to it - which is perhaps not important but it can't hurt to look nice!
It then lathers up very easily with some water on your hands in order to rub it all over the face, and has a plain, clean scent. It does sting if you get it in your eyes! Because it is a smooth face wash rather than an exfoliating scrub, I use this product for this function simply by rubbing it harder over rough areas like the pores on your nose or areas where spots are beginning to break out. And like most soaps and face washes it is oily so you have to give it a reasonable scrub with your hands or a flannel to wash it off.
The scrub mostly lives up to its claims. It doesn't dry the face any more than washing with just water, and less than washing with soap, so you still need to moisturise afterwards.
Immediately it leaves your skin feeling softer even if you had a few lumps and bumps of upcoming spots before using it. I find its cleaning function does prevent spots in the long-term, and can also lessen the impact of a break out if used when the skin starts to feel rough with a few subterranean spots!
While this face wash does what it claims it does not deal with spots once you have them, and is not strong enough for people who have acne or a tendency towards being very "spotty".
*Value for money*
Because of the brand, the face wash is relatively expensive at around £3/4 for a 150ml bottle, depending on where you buy it from. Depending on how "spotty" you are, the bottle can last anywhere between about 2 months (if you follow their instructions and use it twice a day, though I think this is excessive and may do more damage than good), or a year (if like me you use it once a week)! Thus for lesser-spotted teens, this is a much better value product than those who need a more serious solution to their spots.

From Post Staff Reports
The Lebanon-Wilson Chamber of Commerce sent out a community advisory in an email to members Monday afternoon warning them of a potential scam.
Chamber Marketing Manager Dakota Weatherford said they learned of a company calling local businesses posing as a chamber advertising representative earlier that morning, when a member called in about it. A company identifying themselves Premier Map allegedly called the chamber member and said that they were selling advertisements with the Chamber for a magazine or a community map.
Weatherford was careful to point out that the Chamber is not involved with this company.
This seems to happen more often than I expected, Weatherford said. We just want the public to be aware and notify them.
For more information or if you have been called, contact the Lebanon-Wilson Chamber at 444-5503.

Nov. 2, 2000
Deanna Jackson, a junior forward from Brewton, Ala., was chosen by Conference USA's 12 women's basketball coaches as the league's 2000-01 preseason Player of the Year, the league announced Thursday.
UAB was picked to finish second in the National Division behind last year's C-USA tournament champion Tulane. The Lady Blazers were runner-up to the Green Wave in that tournament. Tulane was selected as the favorite to win the regular season.
The Lady Blazers finished the year in the NCAA's Sweet 16 after defeating Oregon and Mississippi State in the first two rounds of the tournament. UAB returns three starters and nine-letter winners from last year's team that finished 21-13 overall.
The key returnee is the 6-foot-2 Jackson. She averaged 19 points and led the conference with 11.7 rebounds per game. She was sixth in the nation in rebounding and led the country with 24 double-doubles. Jackson is the only player from a Conference USA school to be named to the 30-player pre-season nominee list for the Naismith Award.
Jackson was named first team all-conference last year, after being named the league's Freshman of the Year following the 1998-99 season. She spent the summer playing on U.S.A. Basketball's Select Team, which won the gold medal at the R. Williams Jones Cup competition. Jackson averaged 9.5 points and 3.5 rebounds during the competion.
Janell Burse, who averaged 18.9 points and 9.8 rebounds last season and led C-USA in field goal percentage (.594), was selected to the All-Conference first team and was named the C-USA Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. She is currently Conference's USA's all-time record holder for blocks with 182.
DePaul, the preseason pick by the coaches to win the American Division, is represented on the preseason All-Conference team by Lenae Williams, who earned second team all-league honors last year after averaging 18.3 points. Williams set a new single season conference record with 94 three-pointers and needs 24 to become DePaul's all-time leader.
Rounding out the preseason All-Conference squad is senior forward Tiffany Adkins of Memphis and Charlotte senior guard Tonya Phifer. Adkins led Memphis in scoring last season averaging 15.1 points to earn a spot on the All-Conference USA third team, while Phifer dished out 114 assists and averaged 13 points to lead the 49ers to the semifinals of the C-USA Tournament.
The preseason All-Conference team will be on hand, along with all the league's head coaches for the annual Conference USA Basketball Media Tipoff on Sunday, November 5 at the O'Hare Marriott in suburban Chicago.

Musictonic [1]
I am in love with this site! I love to watch music videos and discover new artists, and now I can do both in one place!
To get started type in one of your favorite bands or artists and click the blue search button.
It will then search YouTube for music videos, and then will recommend related artists using information from last.fm!
You can also check out music by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking Top Tags, and then select a tag (usually a genre of music) which will then take you to a listing of artists for that genre. Pick an artist and you can listen that way too!
This is certainly a more fun way of watching music videos than heading to YouTube and having to type in what you want to see to switch between artists. It is also a great way to see all of your favorite artist's videos at once!

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
We're nearly halfway through the season in 'The Atlantic', Sports of Boston's weekly 'trending up' and 'trending down' of the news from the NBA's Atlantic division.
Can Rajon Rondo's hot play get the Celtics offense back on track? Do the 76ers have one of the worst starting backcourts in the NBA? What does Brook Lopez's return mean for the Nets? Lots of questions this week in the Atlantic.
Rondo is averaging 26 points, 10 assist, seven rebounds, and two steals over his last three games. Whether or not Rondo's upset that he wasn't named to the All-Star Team, you can't ignore that he seems to be playing for the MVP award right now.
Do you think the Celtics know they averaged under 85 points per game this week? Or that they've scored the fourth-least total points this season in the NBA? Do they even care? The Celtics are allowing just 87 points per game this season, meaning they're minus-2 this week. That would explain the 1-4 skid.
I really like the Sixers this year- they play tough defense, they move the ball and they rebound. If not for Miami and Derrick Rose, Philadelphia would have a fighting chance to sneak out of the Eastern conference and make the Finals. The Sixers remind me bit of the 2004 Pistons, but lack a crunch time, clutch threat like Chauncey Billups was. Unless the Sixers can swing a trade for a clutch scorer, the city of brotherly love is going to have to love the 76ers for what they are: Miami and Chicago's third wheel.
The Sixers' versatility and depth are strengths, but their starting backcourt certainly isn't. Jrue Holliday has missed 16 of his last 17 shots and hasn't been making up for scoring woes with assists or rebounds. Jodie Meeks has made just six of his last 22, averaging fewer than three rebounds and a single assist per game. It's amazing how well the 76ers have started this season with what has to be the most inconsistent starting backcourt in the league.
The Knicks added J.R. Smith this week and expect Carmelo Anthony to start playing again in the next week. Add Baron Davis (who may return eventually) to the mix and the Knicks are looking like one of the deepest and most athletic teams in the Eastern Conference. Jeremy Lin has not only given the Knicks hope this season, but he's also helped make their bench longer. The Knicks could do a lot worse at the 12th man position than Toney Douglas. There's still time for D'Antoni to make this roster work.
Carmelo Anthony is an incredible talent in that he can get his shot off over anybody, but you can't ignore that the Knicks became competitive when they became Lin's team. Anthony is at the same place in his career that Paul Pierce was right before Danny Ainge put the Big Three together. Anthony, like Pierce, can decide to buy into the team system that is working for the Knicks, or he can insist on a certain number of touches, hold the ball and cause problems. Paul Pierce silenced questions about his leadership capabilities: can Anthony silence his?
I jumped on Calderon too hard last week when I said he'd given up. Calderon is averaging 20 points and 10 assists in his last five games. If the East All-Stars end up having to replace Derrick Rose because of injury, David Stern might want to chose Calderon over Rondo or Brandon Jennings. Calderon hasn't given up even though he plays for the Raptors.
Last week the Raptors lost by seven to San Antonio, three to New York and two to the Lakers. A week ago they beat the Celtics by 12. It's been a 'moral victory' kind of week for the Raptors.
It's been a tumultuous season for the Nets, but Lopez might be coming back in the nick of time, returning to play Sunday night against Milwaukee. With the trade deadline approaching, the Nets might have just enough time to convince teams (Orlando) that Lopez can be the cornerstone of a franchise.
Deron Williams, Brook Lopez, Marshon Brooks, Anthony Morrow, Kris Humphries, Shawne Williams, Jordan Farmar and Sudiata Gaines have all missed significant time with injuries this season. Keith Bogans signed on late and played five5 games before fracturing his ankle. If you're trying to build a world-class franchise, you might want to have a training staff that has your team ready for physical contact.

- - What would you buy for $15k-20k? For sailing from Florida -> Bahamas, and beyond! (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/81715-what-would-you-buy-%2415k-20k-sailing-florida-bahamas-beyond.html)
What would you buy for $15k-20k? For sailing from Florida -> Bahamas, and beyond!
Myself and a friend are looking to buy in the $15,000-$20,000 range (~$20k budget for purchase, repairs and outfitting). We are wanting to buy the boat in Florida to live-aboard and cruise around the Caribbean. What would you buy for a similar situation?
Also, if anyone has some suggestions as to specific places to look, specific brokers to use in Florida, or any other helpful hints they would be very much appreciated!
(New to the forum but as this purchase looms closer and then our adventure begins I imagine it could become a very significant part of my life :) )
You will have to pick a size you think you can live on as when boats get bigger the 15 to 20 does not buy you much
I'm thinkin' cruise tickets. Maybe Carnival?
But seriously, in that range, you get squat. You'd need to be darned savvy and handy, and a heck of a scrounger to pull it off. Assuming you want to be reasonably safe out on the water. And if you have to ask what to buy, then maybe you don't have those attributes currently?
Sorry, tellin' it like I see it. Either increase your budget, because at minimum you want a well found 30 footer, or decrease your cruising expectations and boat size.
I disagree. In this economy I've seen perfectly good 30 foot boats go for peanuts. Last spring my storage yard let a 32 foot Islander in nice condition with a 1 year old diesel go for $4K (in CT), basically back storage charges owed to the yard. It is plenty big enough to live on in a warm climate, althought the draft was a bit much on that one. There are plenty of people out there willing to dump a boat just to get rid of it right now. I think you should be able to find a decent something for $10K and then use the extra money for a few extras. Very doable on $20K.
I just bought a 30' 1978 Hunter in Glades for $6,000. It was full of mud daubers and covered in mildew. Within 5 days or 5 people working we were able to get her in the water and head out to Ft.Myers. There was a continual list of jobs to get her through the sea trials and back, but we got a great deal.
Spend alot of time calling marina's, and getting to know the boat you're going to buy. The Florida climate is not forgiving to paint, wiring, or anything else, so be mindful of the time you're going to have to be on land working in a high priced work yard.
My boat is done except for the deck paint, and back in storage until next winter. Bahamas bound!
Another way to go that I think could be more fun would be checking all the on-line venues for berths.
These opportunities include:
You pay the captain
The captain pays you
You pay expenses.
With 20G you would be wealthy crew rather than being a broke captain.
If you did that for a couple of years you would have some real knowledge and adventure under your belt and maybe some money left over.
What do you know or have:
Strong back and willing to work.
If you know all there is to know about sailing and sailboats and have a year or two and a lot of luck and patience and a good job for living expenses and tools and a place to work on the boat you may be able to find a cheap boat and fit it out safely.
If that is not your profile you could be crew and have a great time and get the experience and maybe even keep a lot of your money.
There are boats in your price range - but they will all require some work for more than local sailing. Here's one example http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi...url=&imc=pg-fs
And here is a list on Yachtworld of 28' to 31' from 10k to 15k
(Sail) Boats For Sale Florida FL
My bet is that Islander wasn't turn-key ready to go to Caribbean and the new owner probably spend $8-10k getting it up to snuff.
Would everyone agree that for starters any 30 plus year old boat that was going to be used the way the OP plans should have the following done if it has not been done in the last 5 years and good evidence that it was done right.
1. Drop rudder and inspect and or replace bearings and all linkage.
2. Replace chain plates
3. Replace standing rigging
4. Replace running rigging
5. Check ground tackle and get spare
6. Check sails and get spares
7. Check electrical and make sure lights, pump work.
8. Autohelm
That sounds like 10k minimum assuming some of the above is OK and some needs doing.
True, but that is still well within the op's budget of 20k ready to go.

Hi, REE -
You being an Admin, I thought I'd ask to see what happened to a post I created a few days ago on the Items For Sale BB. It was for 3 reels; 2 Orvis reels and a Cortland LTD. I'd sold both the Orvis reels, but the LTD was (and is) still available....

Signals and Systems package
Good day all,
I just installed Signals and Systems package with Mathematica 4.2
(Students) on a PC. After installation I did a "Rebuild Help Index". Now
when I type, in a notebook, the first few letters of a function in that
package and hit ctl-K (complete selection) nothing appears in the selection
from Signals and Systems package. Same if I do a search for a function in
the help menu, all functions from that package are not listed. For example
if I look for "convolution" I get all entries in Digital Image Processing
(an installed package) and the entry in the Mathematica book, but nothing
from Signals and Systems package. Even if I look for a function that I know
that is in the package, I do not get any entry for it, no help. The add-ons
menu for Signals and Systems package listing stops at the first level of
entries, I mean just the titles are listed and nothing after (no
Am I doing something wrong during installation ? I have four other
packages installed and the all work correctly.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Two years ago, the Northern Arizona women's tennis team graduated possibly the most accomplished senior year class the program has ever seen. The 2011 senior quartet of Orsi Golovics, Edit Suhajda, Yumi Hasegawa and Aimee Oki combined for 11 All-Big Sky selections, 164 singles wins, 170 doubles wins and 54 team victories over their four-year careers.
On Saturday, the Lumberjacks' home finale versus Weber State at 9 a.m. at Enchantment Resort in Sedona will serve as the final home matches for the 2013 senior class of Ghizelene Doballah, Alice Pacaut, Nicole Perez, Malia Wahinepio and Alice Walker. While this year's senior class might not be as decorated as their 2011 predecessors, they have definitely left their combined mark on the Lumberjack women's tennis program.
"They're an eclectic bunch and each player brings something different to the team," said director of tennis Kim Bruno. "Each player has a distinct role and distinct personality and it's going to be hard to replace this bunch. The last senior class I had two years ago left their mark on NAU with their records and things you can't take away and this class has done the same. We've had an outstanding record this year, we've went on streaks and we've done things that other classes have not and that's a great way for them to go out on top. It's been a fun ride. They're outstanding young women."
Among the highlights that this year's seniors have accomplished this year include the program's second-longest win streak of eight matches, the program's eighth-consecutive double-digit win season, the longest such streak in program history, and the program's most wins in a season (15) with at least two matches remaining including next week's Big Sky tournament since the 2008 team won 15 matches. NAU is 15-9 overall and 6-2 in the Big Sky headed into Saturday's match.
When Perez, Wahinepio and Walker entered the program as freshman during the 2009-10 season, the storied senior class were juniors. The trio spent their first two years under the guidance of their esteemed upperclassmen teammates as the team went on to achieve back-to-back 13-win seasons and Big Sky runner-up finishes in 2010 and 2011. It was during these first two years where they learned and grew into the players they are today.
"When we first came in I really looked up to the upperclassmen," Wahinepio said. "My sophomore year when they were seniors I really thought we were going to take it in conference with Orsi, Edit, Yumi and Aimee. We had a really strong team. Learning from them, we were able to take on the (leadership) responsibility now that they're gone."
"It's funny hearing the underclassmen saying that we're all leaving because it's like déjà vu," Walker added. "We went through exactly the same thing. I learned a lot especially from the Hungarians (Golovics and Suhajda). They had such high accolades and seeing them practice with the same consistency day in and day out was interesting. Aimee and Yumi had fun out there and they embraced what Lumberjack Athletics was about."
Last season, Bruno needed to replace the four departed starters and in stepped Doballah, who spent the 2011 season as a redshirt after transferring from Barton Community College, and Pacaut, who transferred to NAU after two seasons at Stephen F. Austin. Along with Perez, Wahinepio and Walker and the infusion of Hannah Stone and Johanna Vang, the team was able to move forward seamlessly in 2012 and has proven to be a force in the Big Sky in 2013.
Wahinepio and Perez, both in-state products, have been stalwarts in the Lumberjack lineup since their initial season as both will end their respective careers as four-year starters. Wahinepio, an All-Big Sky selection in each of her first three seasons, is one of just 13 players in program history with three all-conference awards. If she were to earn the distinction this season, she would become the sixth Lumberjack to be a four-time All-Big Sky honoree, a list which includes Bruno, Golovics and Suhajda.
Wahinepio has posted at least 11 singles victories in each of her four seasons, including 12 this season, and owns a career 25-7 record against Big Sky foes. Her 18 doubles wins this season are tied for the team-lead and is tops in the conference and together with Pacaut, the pair recently broke the school record for doubles wins in the team's victory over Southern Utah last Friday. Pacaut and Wahinepio's 17 wins as a duo broke the tie they shared with Oki and Stephanie Vallejos in 2008. Wahinepio goes into her final home match with 50 career singles and doubles victories, which is one singles win less than Golovics had in her career and more doubles wins than any of the four 2011 seniors.
"We grew as a team regardless of who came in and who left and I think we just built on one another," Wahinepio said. "Senior year is here and it scares me because it means that it's the end of our collegiate careers. It makes me more excited and having the success in doubles with Alice has been a thrill. I've enjoyed every second of it. I'm really happy to be playing with her. It was a fun experience all together."
Perez could not have started her career any better as she earned All-Big Sky honorable mention following a stellar freshman season in which she posted a 13-6 singles record and 14-5 doubles record. She followed that up with another solid sophomore season, but endured a rough junior campaign in which she struggled her way to four singles and five doubles victories. But she has responded with a career-best season this year as she leads the conference with a career-high 17 singles victories. She has had two win streaks of at least seven matches and she is currently riding a 10-match doubles win streak with Doballah.
"I definitely learned a lot," Perez said. "I'm sad that this is our last home match but I think it's time to move on. I definitely appreciate Coach (Bruno) giving us this opportunity and a lot of good times playing tennis for her at NAU. Ending on a strong note my senior year completely erases last year in my mind and hopefully in Coach's as well. I owe a lot of it to Coach."
Walker came over from Sydney, Australia and has been a steady reserve and someone the Lumberjacks can count on during the course of her four-year career. As a reliable No. 7 player, Walker has filled in admirably, totaling 11 career victories between singles and doubles play. Against opponents within the conference, Walker has shown her best compiling a 9-4 combined Big Sky record.
"I haven't really thought about it," Walker said. "I just want to make sure I leave it all out on the court and try not to get too frustrated. I just want to have fun knowing that it's my last match and focus on every point."
After the departure of the previous senior class, a lot of the team's success can be attributed to the additions of Doballah and Pacaut to the lineup.
Doballah stepped in immediately last season following her redshirt year and took over the No. 1 singles position in the lineup. She was rewarded with an All-Big Sky first team honor following a nine-win season, including a near-perfect 7-1 conference record. This season, Doballah has rotated between the top-two positions and once again sits at nine wins with a chance to win her career-high 10th match before her career comes to an end. The Oran, Algeria native is the only player on the team to earn Big Sky Player of the Week honors in each of the last two seasons.
"It was really surprising because I didn't expect the number one spot," Doballah said. "I got used to it pretty fast. It's going to be sad that I'm done with it. It passed by so fast and I can't believe it's already over. I'm really satisfied. It was a great experience and I wouldn't change anything."
Pacaut, like Doballah, has been a consistent force since she arrived last season. After two successful seasons at Stephen F. Austin, Pacaut has recorded 25 singles victories and 28 doubles victories over the last two years. The senior from Eyguieres, France has established herself as one of the conference's top No. 5 and 6 singles players since her arrival and this season Pacaut ranks only behind Perez in singles victories on the team with 14 and is tied with Wahinepio, her doubles partner, with 18 doubles victories in addition to the new school record.
"What I really liked since I came to NAU is the team," Pacaut said. "We're all really close and I didn't have that with my other team. I'm really happy that I transferred even though it was hard at the beginning. I'm really excited but I'm definitely really sad because I'm going to miss my team a lot."
The seniors and the entire Lumberjack team hopes that what has been one of the greatest seasons in program history will culminate in a Big Sky Championship next weekend, something the program has not achieved since 1999 and it the beginning of the end starts with their regular season finale against Weber State on Saturday. The Wildcats are 6-15 overall and 2-6 in the conference. NAU has beaten Weber State in the last seven meetings between the two teams, including five by a 7-0 score.
"This is the end of our regular season play and it's important that we step on the court and be ready to go," Bruno said. "Weber has progressively gotten better with their results throughout the season. We really have to play hard and honor our seniors and hopefully come together as a championship team this weekend. This is a tight knit team and I know they're going to play for each other and leave it on the court."
Saturday's match is free for all fans to attend at the Enchantment Resort in Sedona. Live scoring will be available for the match here.

It has been three years since the Macondo oil drilling platform caught fire, exploded, sank, and leaked uncounted barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. But the legal battle over the oil spill is far from over. A second phase of the civil trial targeting oil company BP begins in September, reports the New Orleans Times-Picayune ("Gulf oil spill trial's 2nd phase to last 16 days, judge says," by The Associated Press). In this proceeding, the court will attempt to determine how much oil the damaged well released into Gulf of Mexico waters—an issue that will affect BP's total penalties in the case (which could run as high as $4,300 per barrel if the company is found to have been negligent in the spill).
But meantime, the Times-Picayune reports, BP is seeking to hold off on payouts of awards from previous trial losses, saying that it believes some claims administrators are conspiring with claim filers to present fraudulent claims: ("BP presents evidence of fraudulent claims, demands temporary halt of claims payments again," by Mark Schleifstein). The company says a tip received at its anti-fraud hotline led to evidence of misconduct in the claims office: "According to the tip, the employee was assisting individuals, including family members, in submitting fraudulent subsistence claims to the CSSP in exchange for payment of a portion of settlement awards that may be paid to these individual claimants," says a BP legal brief. "The employee allegedly recruited individuals to submit fraudulent claims, provided advice regarding what claim details would yield the maximum claim possible, and received a portion of the awards." And BP says some attorneys serving on appeals panels that hear claims are working for law firms that represent claim filers—an apparent conflict of interest.
Now, BP is running newspaper ads complaining about fraudulent claims, and pointing the finger at trial lawyers, reports the Times-Picayune ("New BP ads say people without losses seeking money for 2010 oil spill," by Bruce Alpert).
A BP Washington Post ad quotes Chamber of Commerce president Thomas Donohoe: "Regardless of what you may think of oil giant BP, you'd be hard-pressed to argue it hasn't bent over backward to make amends for the catastrophic Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010...Enter a parade of trial lawyers, a who's who of some of the nation's wealthiest lawyers. They smell big bucks and want a piece of the action...The result is that thousands of claimants that suffered no losses are coming forward, obtaining outrageous windfalls and making a mockery of what was intended to be a fair and honest settlement process."

hey guys, my brougham is going in on monday for new springs and shocks and I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of what they look like with a 2" drop? I seem to remember pictures of them lowered on here (a thread from a few years ago) but can't find it.
I can either do a 2" drop all around or 2 inch drop in front, .5" raise in back, since I have a full set of impala ss springs and a pair of 9C1 rear springs.
thanks in advance.

You mean making a link in your post?
Just paste or type out the exact address, and when you post the message, it will automatically format itself to be a click-able link.
Thank you for your prompt respose. I will try just typing it out. I think I was making it more difficult then it was. How can I paste links from my address bar? I can never get them to highlight.
Click inside your address bar. Then hold down the "CTRL" key and hit A. That will select the whole address. While still holding down "CTRL", hit C. That will copy the address.
Now let go of CTRL.
Now click where you want the address/link to go in your post, and then hold CTRL again and this time hit V. That will paste it right where you want it to be.
That should be it.
I was unable to get the address bar to highlight using that method. Though I was able to use that method on most other things. I just discovered that I do not need to highlight my address bar. If I just click on it and hit copy, it automaticly copies the entire link and then I am able to paste it.
Whatever works.
