RYAN COLLEY enjoyed a fairytale end to his riding career when fulfilling a lifelong dream to win at York Racecourse.
The 21-year-old, a stable lad with Stillington trainer Ruth Carr and who lives just yards from the track in South Bank, steered San Cassiano (11-1) to success in the John Wright Electrical Gentleman Amateur Riders' Stakes in front of a crowd of thousands on Knavesmire.
It was the youngster's last appearance on a racecourse as a jockey – at 6'2" he believes he is now too tall to ride on the Flat.
And Colley, the son of former York rugby league player Mick, was naturally thrilled following his half a length victory over I'm Super Too.
San Cassiano set the pace at the head of the field and, asked to quicken with two furlongs left to travel, kept on well to the finish.
"He's my favourite horse in the yard," Colley said. "I grew up going to Millthorpe School and I still live in South Bank. It has always been my dream to ride here.
"I worked here in 2009 as a groundsman after work experience before I went to racing college and to ride a winner here is something special to say the least.
"He's (San Cassiano) an automatic. He does it all himself. He knows what he is doing in front. I just drop my hands and he knows what pace he wants to go at. It's got nothing to do with the way I ride him.
"This won't set in for weeks. My first ever ride was my only other winner so it will take a while – especially at a track like York so it is something special.
"This is going to be my last ride. I wasn't even going to ride this until about two weeks ago when I saw the race was in the books and I politely asked Ruth if I could ride San Cassiano.
"It is credit to the owners and to Ruth for putting me up and I never thought I would win it. She's the best boss to work for. She is so trusting and gives you a lot of freedom.
"It's unbelievable."
Carr added: "This is fantastic for us and he gave him a really sensible ride. He has fulfilled a lifelong dream and this is a very big deal for us. He is such a great lad in the yard."
David O'Meara looks in no mood to give up his crown as York Racecourse's top trainer.
Dutch Rose bagged her fourth win at the track for the Nawton-based trainer and handed him his third Knavesmire victory of the season.
The 9-1 shot, now five-years-old, has now won in each of the last three years at York and led coming into the home straight of the seven furlong The One Marketing Communications Stakes.
She held off a serious challenge from Sirius Prospect, who pressed her right to the line before succumbing by three quarters of a length, as the £25,000 contest reached its climax.
O'Meara hailed his "tough" mare and said his desire now was to achieve some Black Type with the daughter of Dutch Art.
Recording his third win on the track this season, O'Meara said: "Luke (Morris, jockey) gave her a smashing ride and he was allowed to roll along up there. She's incredibly genuine, isn't she?
"She obviously loves the ground. The thing now would be to get her a bit of Black Type. We ran her at Redcar last year and she ran okay but missed out on it.
"It would be great because she has been a grand filly for us and that would just top it off."
Mister Universe (11-10 fav) led from pillar to post in the Yorkshire Regiment EBF Stallions Median Maiden Auction Stakes.
The juvenile, trained by Mark Johnston at Middleham, ran a little green in the six furlong race but jockey Graham Lee had little to fear from those behind – winning cosily with three quarters of a length in hand over Home Cummins.
Said the trainer's wife Deidre: "He had been out in front a long time on his own. Graham set a really nice educational ride. He was just beaten last time out and did nothing wrong here.
"He is a lovely horse. We wanted to get the maiden under the belt and see where we go from here."

TPWD Offers Free Fishing in Texas State Parks
Nintendo's fishing video game with a fishing-rod adapter costs about $75. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, however, is giving families several opportunities this summer to fish for real – and for free.
The department is offering several Go Fish! events that provide families and individuals an opportunity to learn the basics of fishing from an expert then to put their new skills into practice and try their luck in the lovely waters of Texas state parks. Participants will learn to rig a rod and reel, tie on their hook, cast safely and handle their catch. They will also learn the rules and regulations of fishing in Texas.
Ann Miller, TPWD Aquatic Resources coordinator, said Go Fish! is suited for people of all ages and skill levels.
"People have brought their 4-year olds who have caught their first fish here, and we've had grandparents who have received fishing gear and don't know how to use it," she said. Go Fish! "meets the needs of a wide range of people."
The Go Fish! events are about four hours long, and no previous fishing knowledge is required. Participants may bring their own fishing gear or use loaner gear at the site.
Because no license is required to fish in a Texas State Parks, Miller said the activity is an inexpensive way for families to reconnect with the outdoors and with one another.
"It's exciting to catch a fish, but fishing isn't fast-paced," she said. Fishing "is a way for families to slow down a little and talk. I think a lot of families see the need to get kids away from the electronics and focus on one another. Fishing is a good way to get people outdoors."
The fishing classes are free, but admission for adults into the park ranges from $2 to $4, depending on the park. Children ages 12 and younger are admitted into the park for free.
The following parks will feature Go Fish! events this summer. For more information, visit texasstateparks.org.

Metro Detroit
How to keep homes in order during those sweet — and sloppy — childhood years
By Tiffany Esshaki
Posted August 21, 2013
Just for fun, the editorial staff at C & G Newspapers shared their favorite tips and tricks to keep the house clean with little ones running around — or at least how they try to keep it clean.
"You don't need as much as you think you need. Some stuff is great and helpful, but some is just useless gadgetry. Ask your grandma; or someone else's grandma. They raised kids with way less stuff than we do today."
"It is impossible."
"I store tons of neglected toys in a hidden area in the basement and bring something 'new' out every six months or so, and my kids suddenly love it like it's new again. I then refill the neglected bins with toys in their rooms that they no longer play with, and those will come back into play in another six months or so."
"Utilize furniture that doubles as storage for items such as toys, diapers, wipes, blankets, etc. Like ottomans/coffee tables/end tables. Even those drawers/shelves on the entertainment center – which you've already emptied because baby loves to play with all the shiny DVDs."
"You can just get really pissed about no one cleaning up their stuff and go through their toy boxes with a giant garbage bag every couple of months like Mommy Godzilla. I prefer that method."
"Keep clothing and toys that he or she has grown out of, or that are seasonal, in labeled bins in the basement if you plan to use them for another kid, or sell them at a MOM2MOM sale. Otherwise, donate them to charity."
There are few forces in nature that can match the destructive power of children and their toys.
Parents can attest to the difficulty of keeping houses clear of clutter while a little one is running around. While it can seem impossible, some local experts say that there are ways to keep homes from being overrun my kid-dom.
The challenge is nothing new for interior designer Michelle Mio. The metro Detroit designer with the firm Rariden Schumacher Mio, who was featured last year on HGTV's "Showhouse Showdown," has created many livingscapes for families with young children. She says it's all about finding convenient, creative ways to stash the stuff.
"Storage ottomans, I like a lot. They can go right in the middle of the family room, instead of a coffee table. You just lift the lid and start piling kids' toys in it," said Mio.
The idea, she said, is to create storage opportunities that are easily hidden but also easily accessible. If busy parents and children have to run up and down stairs and all over the house to put items away, then cleaning likely won't happen often.
"Ottomans, or window seats, with storage or hidden baskets; sectionals are really popular, and sometimes they have cases built in for baskets or something. It has to be easily accessible."
Mio's other trick of the trade is making sure that every stashable item has a home. When family members, young and old, know where their things belong, they'll be more likely to keep them there.
"Mudroom build-ins are really big right now for shoes and backpacks," she noted. "Also, charging stations so there's a place to put all those devices like tablets and smartphones."
It's also important, Mio said, to try and keep toys and the like in designated kid spaces, like bedrooms or playrooms.
"That way, if it does blow up, it doesn't affect other functional parts of the house," she said, explaining that little ones are still responsible for sprucing up their special space. "Labeled or colored baskets or boxes are nice. And kids like pictures — you could probably even put a picture of a Lego on the front of the box where Legos go, so kids know, 'This is where Legos go,' or 'This is where Polly Pockets go.'"
Even items like hair ties or nail polish can have a designated bin all their own. But whether they're little babes or teens and tweens, after a while, all of those little things could add up to a big mess. Julie Grippo, owner of Bec and Sam's in downtown Birmingham, specializes in clothing and accessories for the younger set. And while she's got lots of wonderful things for parents to "ooh and ah" over, she said parents shouldn't feel pressured to have it all.
"I think the biggest misconception a lot of parents have is that their baby needs a lot of things, especially when it comes to the gear. Like the big heavy strollers. Trust me, (babies) like the lighter strollers just fine," said Grippo. "They're little creatures, and they'll be just fine without all that stuff."
Mio agreed, saying that sometimes the difference between chaos and order is a few simple omissions.
"Probably the biggest problem my clients have is they've got five pounds of potatoes in a two-pound sack. You have to realistically edit," said Mio. "If you get a new dress, maybe donate a dress. Do the same thing with kids' toys. People really accommodate for way too much. Does the baby really need 50 toys at one time when 10 is just plenty?"
She went on to say that even the sentimental stuff, like gifts and artwork, can add up in a home. She recommended displaying keepsakes on shelves in "collections," keeping similar items together. When random items are shown together, the result can look cluttered.
Mio also suggested moving the creations of little artists off the refrigerator and moving it to a special space where it can be displayed neatly, such as a bulletin board. Picture frames are another option, where art can be shown off and then changed out later with newer pieces.
Grippo stocks shelves and cubbies in her shop that can be used to display a range of items, from adorable outfits to trophies and other mementos. She added that some forms of storage can be used in different ways throughout childhood.
"We sell these Moses baskets, and they can be used to put the babies in when you're visiting somewhere. Then, when they're older, you can just throw stuff in there in their room," said Grippo. "And those nice bassinettes — you can keep those and store stuffed animals and dolls in them when they get older."

'"You need a combination of secondary scoring and a little bit better play away from the puck. If you jump off to a lead, typically you put a team in a bad spot. Let's say you've made some mistakes, given up the 2-on-1, the breakaway, some of the stuff we've done at home, that's always another factor. And then you're chasing the game, you have a lot more aggressive style, you have to cheat a little bit more and that usually leads to going the other way. It's a combination of both, I think the secondary scoring is very important, but I think getting the lead in a game is equally as important."'

SACRAMENTO - In a sign that age may be catching up with California's ageless politician, Gov. Jerry Brown's office revealed Wednesday that he is being treated for early stage prostate cancer.
Dr. Eric Small of UC San Francisco, the 74-year-old governor's oncologist, said the prostate cancer is a "localized" case and that Brown is expected to make a full recovery after receiving "a short course of conventional radiotherapy."
"The prognosis is excellent, and there are not expected to be any significant side effects," Small said in a statement.
Brown's office said he is continuing a full work schedule during the treatment, which is expected to be completed the week of Jan. 7.
The governor's spokesman, Gil Duran, said Brown governor worked Wednesday and attended a lunch in San Jose for the Oakland Military Institute. And just last week, Brown was showing off his chin-up skills to Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson in the governor's office before the lighting of the Capitol Christmas tree, Duran added.
Prostate cancer is the most common nonskin cancer, with more than 240,000 men diagnosed each year, according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. About one in six men develop the disease, but far fewer - about one in 33 - die from it.
About 28,000 die of prostate cancer each year. More than 2 million men are living with the disease.
Cancer of the prostate is generally slow growing and can be detected through routine tests. Radiation therapy (sometimes done by implanting radioactive seeds in the prostate) is usually for men with early stage prostate cancer who have health issues that do not allow for surgery, according to the National Cancer Institute. Typically radiation therapy can last up to nine weeks.
Duran would not disclose further details or say how long the governor has been undergoing the treatment. But a "short course" in radiation therapy is not typical and could mean he's taking more concentrated doses, said Dr. Brian Hopkins, a urologist with a speciality in prostate cancer at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek and Concord.
"Sometimes the best course of action is radiation, especially if he's got more than a 10-year life expectancy," Hopkins said. "My impression is he probably feels he has great life expectancy and he doesn't want to take any risks. And he doesn't want to do anything that takes away from his job managing California government. Radiation treatment will allow him to do that."
There are two other main treatment options for prostate cancer patients, according to the National Cancer Institute: active surveillance, sometimes dubbed "watchful waiting" and surgery.
The NCI suggests active surveillance for low-risk patients who have smaller or a slow-growing type of prostate cancer in the prostate only and are older than 70. Surgery, traditional radiotherapy or radioactive-seed therapy is generally recommended for those younger than 70 who are in good health and want the cancer removed.
Brown's public image is one of boundless energy, whether on the campaign trail or in hourlong verbal jousts with the media. He has been known to outdo people half his age with chin-ups. He runs three miles daily and made national headlines challenging New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to a physical fitness competition after the corpulent Christie attacked him as an "old retread" at the GOP National Convention.
"He proved he once again had the vim and vigor and judgment" in his campaign for Proposition 30, the tax measure approved by voters in November, said Barbara O'Connor, director emeritus of the Institute for the Study of Politics and the Media at Sacramento State.
But prospective gubernatorial candidates will be watching Brown's medical condition closely, predicted O'Connor, who served in one of Brown's previous administrations.
"Is it a barrier to his running for re-election? It needn't be," O'Connor said. "I don't view it as disqualifying, but it certainly makes others think about running. He is 74, and he's certainly more acute and savvy and energetic than most of his age, but he is what he is. You slow down and illness puts a kink in your ability to marshal the energy to do what you need to do. But I don't ever count Jerry out. He's determined to get stuff done."
Other prominent political figures to undergo prostate cancer treatment include U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.; former U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn.; former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani; and former U.S. Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kansas, all of whom survived.
California political giants felled by prostate cancer include former Assembly Speaker Jesse Unruh, who died at 64, and ex-San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto, who died at 82.
Brown had a cancerous growth removed from his nose in an April 2011 procedure that required reconstructive surgery. Doctors removed basal cell carcinoma, a common, slow-growing form of skin cancer, from the right side of his nose.

HOW old is too old when it comes to serving as a councillor?
That is the question being asked as county council leader Ken Thornber and two fellow octogenarian Cabinet members are set to stand for election in May. One backbench wag compared them to the Russian politburo.
Mr Thornber, who will be 80 when voters go to the polls, has pledged to step down as party leader after 15 years - a promise he was accused of breaking by some Tory councillors last year.
The Conservative council boss, who was first elected in 1977, refused to comment on whether 80 was too old to stand again.
But Cabinet member Colin Davidovitz, who at 82 is believed to be the oldest member of the council, reckons age is unimportant so long as "the old grey matter still works."
He added retired members of the Cabinet brought with them a wealth of experience from holding senior positions in the public and private sector which had proved useful in finding £100m savings over the last two years.
A recent survey found the UK had the oldest councillors of 16 countries across Europe and was in a "league of its own" when it came to the percentage of councillors who are retired.
In Hampshire, 65 per cent of county councillors are pensioners compared to 43 per cent nationally, 30 per cent in France, the second highest country and 3.5 per cent in Spain.
Hampshire County Council has a £1bn budget and runs services including schools, child protection, adult social care, waste disposal, highways and libraries.
Cabinet member Ray Ellis, 80, is also standing again despite being de-selected from his Fareham Town seat by the local Conservative Party.
Cllr Ellis, who has just had a hip replacement, was instead given Fareham Porchester currently held by a Liberal Democrat Roger Price.
After a high-flying career in higher education and overseas development, he has been a county councillor for 12 years and a Cabinet member for five but still wants to serve his community.
He was disappointed to be de-selected, saying: "I think they thought I was too old but I am more active as a county councillor than some of the younger ones."
Asked if he could see the day when there might be 100-year-old county councillors, he said: "Why not? I was at a Local Government Association conference recently and there was a Labour councillor who was 92."
He added: "The way things are going, people are living longer. I think physical age is less important that mental age unless you develop Alzheimer's disease which is a terrible thing and once that happens you are finished."
The only Cabinet member of bus pass age who is stepping down is also the only woman on it with responsibility for a whole department - Felicity Hindson.
Cllr Hindson, who is in her 70s and represents Meon Valley, has been a councillor for 20 years and a Cabinet member for 12.She said: "I think it is time for a change both for me and the council. It is good to have new people coming in and new faces."
Meanwhile children's services chief Roy Perry, one of the younger Cabinet members at 69, said: "I certainly will not be standing when I am 80."
Cllr Perry said the council faced a major challenge attracting younger councillors. He said part of the problem was the basic allowance of £12,000 was not enough to pay a mortgage and support a family. Hence most councillors were retired.
But increasing pay was not the answer, he said. However switching to evening council meetings instead of daytime could remove a barrier to people of working age attending.
The Romsey Extra councillor confirmed he will stand again as party leader after narrowly losing by just two votes to arch rival Cllr Thornber last year.
Meanwhile Liberal Democrat leader Councillor Keith House, 47, said: "What's relevant I think is that councils need a mix of experience and age. One of the problems with Hampshire County Council is that almost all of the leadership is retired and so only represents a strand of Hampshire life.
"It is hard to imagine a younger Cabinet axing youth services, cutting children's centres and banning wind turbines."
Liberal Democrat backbencher Brian Dash, 73, added: "The Cabinet are a bit like the Russian Politburo of old. I call them Comrades. At one of the Cabinet meetings, I said they should all declare an interest in anything to do with old age – and I include myself in that!"
Christine Ovenden, who campaigned against the council cutting spending by more than a third on Sure Start children's centres, said she was initially surprised to see so many pensioners in the council chamber.
"I think there should be more of a mix of ages to represent the community and it would be good to have more fresh faces coming through."
But a Local Government Association spokesman said age should be no barrier so long as older councillors were still mentally and physically capable of doing the job.
He added: "Councillors who have stood previously have a wealth of knowledge and experience that we want to retain but, on the other hand, you want new faces. It is a demanding job. Councillors spend on average between 20-40 hours per week on council business. If younger people are still working in full-time employment they may have to reduce their hours but it is incredibly rewarding.
"That is one of the reasons why you get more older councillors - they have more time to devote to shaping local council services."
WINCHESTER city councillor and former would-be MP Martin Tod is hoping to win a seat on the county council this May.
Liberal Democrat Mr Tod, 48, is contesting Winchester Westgate division after Councillor Phynette Dickens decided to stand down.
Mr Tod was defeated by Conservative Steve Brine at the last Parliamentary elections and was subsequently elected city councillor for St Paul ward.
He said: "I enjoy trying to help people as a city councillor but find often the county council and city council are not joined-up, for example in providing school places. I want to try and take the opportunity to bring the two together for the good of local people."
The city councillor said he was also interested in health issues and the county council is soon to be a leading provider of public health services.
Another big name in local politics who is throwing her hat into the ring is Sandra Gidley. The former Romsey MP hopes to snatch Romsey Extra from Tory children's services chief Roy Perry.
OLDEST known community councillor is 101-year-old Mary Augusta Edwards from Angelsey in Wales while Labour councillor Bernard "Claude" Miller retired from Plymouth City Council in 2010 at the age of 95.

About the Book
Hotel Mind is based on the six actual paintings conceived between 2005 and 2009. It tackles one of the last taboo's - that of loss and the expression of grief. The result of four years work by artist Juliet King, Hotel Mind narrates it's own journey of grief - from the confusion of tragedy through to the quest for perspective and understanding, expressed by six large scale paintings of hotels. Each one with the facade removed, exposes roomfuls of emotive imagery that accompany a bereft path. The use of hotels as metaphors is multifaceted. As temporary places of residence, hotels symbolise transition from one stage to another. They act as a detour - a mourning of the difference between the life one was going to have and the reality of the life one does have. They also lack the personal identity cultivated from one's own unique life history and question the physical and emotional attachments that we would associate with the security of a home.
Hotel Mind contains a total of 72 rooms, each one housing a figurative portrayal of feelings associated with each stage of the narrative. These include the first and second stages of grief (Hotel Devastation and Hotel Aftermath), dependency (Hotel Dependence), co-dependency (Hotel Rescuer), anxiety (Hotel Freak Out) and realisation (Hotel Healing).
The idea to turn Hotel Mind into a book was to create not just an art book but also a therapists resource in helping clients to pinpoint and manage their own feelings.
Proceeds from the sales of Hotel Mind, the Book are donated to STUDIO UPSTAIRS, a UK registered charity providing artistic resources and support to adults experiencing mental and emotional distress and in drug and alcohol recovery.

About the Creator
I have been a practising full time artist based in Bristol since 2001. In 2009 I finished my first major project 'Hotel Mind', which was exhibited in Berlin that same year with the Turn-Berlin Gallery. My work is extensively researched, through books, journalling, questioning and sketching to gain a concise understanding of my subject. I am interested in social realities and the philosophies, cultural history and psychological processes that shape them. My next project is based on the powerlessness of childhood focusing on the morification of adolescence. It aims to explore matters of over control, suppression, depression, displacement,, identity, individuation and the rites of passage and the effect this phase of development has in adulthood. Also taking into account family and social history including class.

Hairy leggings meant to keep unwanted male attention at bay are all the rage among girls in China.
That's right. Leggings covered in hair.
"Super sexy, summertime anti-pervert full-leg-of-hair stockings, essential for all young girls going out," @HappyZhangJiang wrote in describing the item on China's popular microblogging service, Sina Weibo.
It's hard to say whether the hairy leggings are synthetic Sasquatch or real human hair, but one thing's for sure: they're bound to repel just about anyone in sight.
A cheaper alternative, of course, is just not shaving your legs, girls.

I found this sewing machine while doing some much needed spring cleaning in my grandmothers garage. It needs a good spit polish but is still in working condition, although the original belt broke, it just needs a new belt run from foot presser to top of machine. We could even maybe use a rope of sorts or something. I was very excited to find a picture of this machine that dates this machine back to about 1900 unforunatetly the website would not let me copy and paste it to my computer system. But i now know it is atleast 111years old! That is pretty exciting! I'd love to get more info on it if possiable.

All Smiles Despite the Rain at Give Kids a Smile Day 2014
By EJ Abasolo (D3) and Jolie Goodman (D3), Give Kids a Smile Day 2014 Coordinators
Despite the rain, it was all smiles at UCSF Dentistry's jungle-themed Give Kids a Smile Day 2014.
Through the efforts of our volunteers, which included student dentists, pre-dental students, faculty, and staff, more than 120 children from all over the Bay Area received dental care and oral health education free of charge. Strong representation from UCSF Dentistry's Division of Pediatric Dentistry was critical to the event's success, as residents, faculty, and alumni helped student providers perform exams, formulate treatment plans, and provide care throughout the day.
Dental supplies were generously donated by Henry Schein, Patterson Dental, GSK, Crest, Oral-B, and Colgate, and others. Health screenings and nutrition/lifestyle activities were provided by Schweitzer Fellows from Bay Area health professions programs, including UCSF Dentistry's Jolie Goodman and Emily Wineland (D3). Services provided included: oral health screenings, prophylaxis/coronal polishing, sealant placement, and fluoride varnish.
Oral health information and preventative care measures were dispensed in a fun and engaging environment, along with dental goodie bags, toys, prizes for partaking in educational games, and balloon sculptures.
The annual event is crucial for many of those who attend, as a large number of participating children are affected by both early childhood decay and a lack of dental insurance, so many have never seen a dentist before. As they enter grade school, the services provided on Give Kids a Smile Day satisfy the State of California-mandated K-1 oral health assessment.
One parent's comment: "Thank you for making dentistry part of a fun day -- my kids and I learned so much. Please have this event every year!"

Both Teams Earn Spots in Rankings
SAINT LEO, Fla. – For the first time in four years the Saint Leo women's swim team has jumped into the top-25 in the latest TYR/CSCAA poll released on Wednesday. The Lions are ranked 23rd in the nation in the poll, released by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America.
Last ranked on February 17, 2007, the Lions have been absent from the polls for almost four full seasons before dominating wins over Nova Southeastern and Rollins had voters taking note.
Of the 45 schools that received votes, the Lions saw 43 total votes putting them in a deadlock with Lock Haven University (Pa.). Ahead of the Lions in the recent rankings are fellow Sunshine State Conference schools Tampa (9th) and Florida Southern (13th).
Drury, the six-time defending NCAA Division II champions, led the pack, followed by No. 2 Ashland, third-place UC-San Diego, No. 4 Clairon and fifth-place Grand Valley State.
Not much changed on the men's side in the most recent poll, but the Lions' loss to Nova Southeastern did cost them a spot as SLU slipped to 23rd in the poll. The Lions were jumped by Shippensburg (21st) and Delta State (T23rd) but a dominating performance by Saint Leo against Rollins kept them in the rankings.
Drury also continued to lead the men's side of the rankings as most conferences began to focus on their championship tournaments in late-February.
Saint Leo will head to Orlando, Fla. and compete in the Sunshine State Conference Swim Championships from February 17-20.

BRAZIL are at Wembley tonight, but 47 years ago they were in Bolton preparing for the World Cup.
But their visit was far from straightforward as there was confusion over whether Pele and Co would train in Wanderers' stadium or on their training ground.
And the occasion was a bitter-sweet occasion for one nine-year-old Bolton boy.
Here is how we reported the time World Cup favourites Brazil came to Bolton: July, 1966 (from the Bolton Evening News) – Brazil's World Cup team came to Bolton last night for their first pre-competition practice – and drove straight into a "who plays where" controversy.
The World Cup favourites thought that they were to train on the Burnden Park pitch; the Wanderers' management had already decided that the club's Bromwich Street practice ground would be used.
There was a meeting in the Bromwich Street pavilion between Wanderers' directors and officials and Brazilian team officials.
It ended with Wanderers' chairman, Mr Ted Gerrard, offering the visitors full use of Burnden Park and its facilities.
The Brazilians went away and discussed the offer – then came back and said they preferred Bromwich Street.
Their only additional stipulations were that they should have use of the medical room at Burnden Park, if needed, and that Coca-Cola should be served to the team instead of tea.
After sorting out the little local difficulty, Mr Gerrard commented: "The goalposts are not yet up at Burnden Park. And if the Brazilians had wanted to train there, we would have had to mark out the pitch and mow it. And we would have had to get the baths operating.
"Here at Bromwich Street we have excellent training facilities – there are none better in the country."
A number of members of the public saw the team at work, but proudest of the spectators was Gary Burke, a nine-year-old Bolton schoolboy, who ended up with a cut and swollen mouth after being hit by the ball.
So enthralled was he in watching the world's master footballers going through their paces that he failed to duck a miskick by Brazilian ace Da Silva.
His mouth bleeding, Gary was taken into the dressing room by Da Silva and Dr Nilton Gosling for treatment.
But 15 minutes later his injuries were forgotten when he left the dressing room sporting a Brazilian lapel badge.

National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence Dereck and Beverly Joubert have been filming African wildlife since the 1980s. Wildlife, however, has changed dramatically over the years. While hunting has decreased as a management style and conservation efforts have blossomed, endangered animal populations continue to dwindle throughout Africa. The Jouberts are now turning their focus to saving the animals they have chronicled for so many years in their numerous films.
The Jouberts film, Game of Lions aired during Big Cat Week on the National Geographic Channel.
Beverly is also an acclaimed photographer, and her images have appeared in National Geographic magazine. Filmmaking and photography for Dereck and Beverly has always been a way to bring the message of conservation to audiences.
The Jouberts are also building a new model for conservation as partners in Great Plains Conservation, a collection of safari properties in Botswana and Kenya that acquires hunting or threatened land and converts it to conservation. Striking a balance of conservation, community and commerce, Great Plains Conservation saves endangered habitats in Africa through low-impact tourism and compassionate management. It presently has around 1.5 million acres under management, including recently added land in Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda. The project aims to rehabilitate the environment and return these vast tracts of land to nature. Great Plains has received awards for responsible tourism in London and South Africa.
"All of our work — filmmaking, photography, research, tourism and the Big Cats Initiative — fits into a single lifelong goal, to make a difference for conservation," said the Jouberts.

School funds, budget surplus, fuel tax top forum discussion
By LARRY DEVINE
, News Editor
Sen. Mark Segebart (left) and Rep. Dan Muhlbauer spent extra time visiting with constituents after the Carroll Chamber of Commerce legislative forum Saturday morning at the American Legion Hall in Arcadia. Daily Times Herald photos by Larry Devine
February 11, 2013
State government is already far behind in setting allowable funding growth for Iowa's school districts and is now seeing a standoff between the governor and Legislature that threatens more headaches for local school officials, Rep. Dan Muhlbauer said at a Carroll Chamber of Commerce Legislative forum Saturday morning.
The Democratic-controlled Iowa Senate, on party-line vote, recently approved 4 percent allowable growth for fiscal-year 2014 and will soon consider another 4 percent hike for 2015, Muhlbauer, a Democrat from Manilla. told the nearly 30 people who attended the forum at the American Legion Hall in Arcadia.
Allowable growth should be set a year and a half in advance so districts can set their budgets. School district didn't receive any allowable growth in last year's legislative session.
"We are a year and a half behind," said Muhlbauer. "2014 should have been set last year."
At the forum featuring Muhlbauer and Sen. Mark Segebart, R-Vail, the legislators noted that the battle focuses on Gov. Terry Branstad's insistence that the Legislature first deal with his education-reform plan.
"Governor Branstad is holding allowable growth hostage," Muhlbauer said.
Segebart said the Senate allowable-growth bill was approved without consideration of Branstad's education-improvement plant.
Introducing his reform plan this year, Branstad said he wants to make Iowa the top-performing state in the nation in education and among the best in the world.
Branstad has proposed wide-sweeping standards, initiatives and incentives, and he's been traveling the state to rally support for his plan.
Muhlbauer said of the difficulty of examining the governor's plan and meeting the deadline for setting allowable growth for elementary and secondary schools and higher education, which accounts for $3.45 billion or about 58 percent of the state's budget, "We can't look at the plan in a month. There are a lot of things in it."
Citing allowable-growth impact in his own district in the Iowa House, Muhlbauer said that with 4 percent increase IKM-Manning School District still gains only about $400, with 2 percent growth loses about $80,000 and with zero growth loses about $160,000.
That kind of hit to rural districts would "mean closing more doors, laying off more teachers," Muhlbauer said.
The governor proposes implementation of his plan by investing $14 million the first year, $72 million the second year and eventually climbing to $187 million in five years.
Segebart said the Senate didn't address the governor's proposals, one of which would raise teachers' minimum starting salary from $28,000 to $35,000.
Segebart said the Senate's allowable-growth bill will be taken up this week by the House, where the Republicans hold majority, and will eventually go to conference committee to try to resolve differences.
However, Muhlbauer said, allowable growth also raises an urban-rural clash.
For urban schools that are growing, 4 percent allowable growth means plenty of money, but it may be only small gain for rural districts with declining enrollment, he said.
Besides education funding, the forum also was highlighted by discussion of raising Iowa's gas tax to improve roads and bridges and use of the state's $800 million revenue surplus.
Branstad is "not putting his strength behind" a gas-tax increase, Muhlbauer observed.
"Until the governor comes out and says we need to do something with the gas tax, it's just kind of lying in limbo," he said. "I hope we can get something fired up. I'd like to see something done out there. I think our roads are really falling apart. The longer we wait, the more costly it's going to be. We're going to have to totally tear our roads all the way to the ground and start over at a higher price."
Segebart, who campaigned last year on support of a gas-tax increase, said the state is about $200 million short of meeting maintenance needs.
Segebart, who formerly served on the Crawford County Board of Supervisors, said gas-tax revenue previously was allocated 34 percent to counties, 20 percent to cities and the rest to the state Department of Transportation before that formula was changed to 20 percent to counties, 20 percent to cities and the rest to the state.
"I want to return to the old formula that sent more money to the counties," he said. "If we can't agree on that, then I'm voting against it."
Virginia Hagemann of Carroll asked the legislators about assurance that funds from a gas-tax increase would go just for roads and bridges and not also for recreational trails and beautification projects.
Muhlbauer said, however, that gas-tax revenue goes for "the whole gamut" in the transportation budget, such as equipment.
Segebart noted too that Branstad has said he wants the Legislature to reform the state's property-tax system - lowering commercial rates - before he will put effort into the gas tax.
Segebart mentioned proposals to use some of Iowa's revenue surplus for road and bridge improvements but added those would have to be one-time-only projects.
"We couldn't sustain that kind of increase without having regular income," he said. "I'd sooner see a gas-tax increase rather than taking all the money from the surplus because it would be an ongoing source and it would help us fix our roads out here in the western half of the state."
On the Iowa revenue surplus, Carroll Mayor Adam Schweers asked the legislators about allocating some of those funds to cities for upgrading waste-water-treatment facilities. He pointed to the possibility of unfunded mandates for cleaning up rivers. Studies have indicated chemical runoff from Iowa farmland is contributing significantly to an oxygen-depleted "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico.
Muhlbauer said a nutrient-control strategy to improve water quality is a big issue this session, as Iowa Department of Natural Resources director Chuck Gipp, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials are trying to come up with a plan.
"Farmers, urban people, DNR, EPA all are going to have to come together and come up with a solution," said Muhlbauer, who farms in the Aspinwall-Manilla area, "because we don't want EPA coming out here and telling us, 'You're going to take it or leave it.' We don't want that. We want to work with them."
Muhlbauer also said of the revenue surplus, "It might be good just to let that surplus sit there. It's good we have surplus money, but it almost makes it more difficulty down there (at the Capitol). Now all of a sudden everybody wants to fight over this money and where to go with it."
Segebart said Iowa spent $6.25 billion last year and the governor has proposed a $6.5 billion budget this year, while revenue is projected at almost $7 billion.
But, he cautioned, agriculture, which has largely fed the state's budget health, could suffer if drought continues another year.
On an encouraging note, he added, Iowa State University Extension climatologist Elwynn Taylor recently reported that the ocean atmospheric condition appears to be changing and there could be an early spring and more rain this year.
For his part, Segebart indicated the revenue surplus may be better used as a refund to taxpayers which could then stimulate Iowa's economy.
Segebart opened the forum by expressing opposition to Iowa expanding Medicaid coverage under the Obamacare (federal Affordable Care Act) promise to help cover much of the cost.
Segebart serves on the Senate Human Resources Committee and said no bills have been introduced on which direction to go on Medicaid expansion. Expansion under Obamacare would add another 150,000 Iowans to the 350,00 to 400,000 now on the rolls, he said. Federal government would cover cost of newly eligible people the first three years and 90 percent thereafter until 2020.
"Iowa has no business getting involved in Obamacare," he commented.
"It's doubtful the federal government will be able to uphold its funding promises," he remarked. "They're bankrupt, if you haven't heard. Revenue totals around $12.5 trillion and expenditures total around $13.8 trillion.
"With a $1.3 trillion deficit and a $16.4 trillion debt, it's hard to believe that they will be able to keep a commitment to additionally spend for requirements for Iowa and meeting future funding commitments."
The legislators said progress has been made toward regionalization of Iowa's mental-health-care system. Legislators recently reached a deal on providing $11.6 million for transition to the new system.
Muhlbauer said, "We might more realistically need $20 million to put into this fund to make sure we get all the bills paid because there's going to be a lapse of time before the new program gets put into place."
He added that the goal of the new system is to make mental-health care stronger and more efficient while meeting all needs.
The next forum will be from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, at St. Anthony Regional Hospital.

It is amazing how fast the current academic year has gone by, it just seems a few moments ago it was August. This May is an exciting time in the College that brings mixed feelings. We are very excited that our Class of 2013 students will be starting their advanced pharmacy practice experiences where they will have the chance to utilize their pharmacy knowledge, skills and abilities in providing patient care in various practice settings in collaboration with their preceptors over the next year followed by their graduation in May 2013. Our excitement is tempered somewhat by a sense of sadness in knowing that we will not see them around the College. These last few years have been a great time in the College as this group of talented and dedicated student pharmacists have worked to advance student programs, pharmacy care and to mentor their friends in the Classes of 2014 and 2015. This is the first time the College will have all of our students out on rotations with the Class of 2014 students conducting their introductory rotations in institutional pharmacy settings and our Class of 2015 conducting their introductory rotations in community settings. Our pharmacy practice faculty members have been working extremely hard to ensure that their clinical sites are ready for students who will be working with them to provide clinical care and service to patients starting in May. A special thanks to our Office of Experiential Education, under the leadership of Dr. Jim Krebs, who has been working extremely hard to ensure our students have outstanding experiential rotations during each year. In addition, we remain very appreciative for all of you who also precept our students in your practice site. Our experiential education program would not be possible without your time and dedicated efforts to advance pharmacy practice and to mentor these students.
So many exciting events have happened during this last few months. I will highlight only a few, but am always willing to share with you via e-mail, phone or in person more details about the various activities that are listed below:
- April 6, 2012 – The First Annual Mr. Pharmacist Competition was sponsored in the College by the Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA). Mr. Richard Agbotoko was selected to receive this recognition. Proceeds from this event were given to the Make a Wish Foundation.
- April 19, 2012 – Faculty and volunteers participate in a program to provide "mock" interviews for interested students in the Class of 2013. This program was coordinated by Dr. John Redwanski and Mr. Jeff Nevers, Career Services Coordinator Portland Campus.

The Initiation Committee members were Justin Leveque (Chair), Tamkeen Quraishi Abreu, Joanne Hwang, John Kim as the Chapter Officers. Thank you all for making this event a wonder evening that will be long-remembered in the history of the College.
- April 21, 2012 – The Second Annual Half-Way Charity Gala was held at the Holiday Inn by the Bay. This was a wonderful evening of food, beverage, magic and dancing to a live jazz band that was enjoyed by students, their families, faculty, staff, preceptors and members of the community all with the celebrating another success year and the half-way point for the Class of 2014 as well as raising money for the Maine Cancer Foundation. A special thanks to the members of the Class of 2014 who made this possible, guided by the leadership and hard work of Garlic Jones, Michelle O'Meara, Lauren Gray, Thuan Vu, Justin Leveque, Tyla Hagen, Kyle Reilly and Megan Trafton.
- April 26, 2012 – The College of Pharmacy held its 3rd Annual Awards and Honors Ceremony in the Finley Gymnasium.

Special thanks to Dr. Wes Zemrak, Renee Gravell and the College of Pharmacy Awards Committee for all their efforts in making this program a success and a night to be remembered. We would also like to thank our many sponsors Goold Health Systems, SuperValu Pharmacies, Rite Aid Pharmacy, National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation, Hannaford, Bill and Gloria Miller, Walgreens and CVS/pharmacy. We are truly thankful for this continued and generous support.
- April 28, 2012 – A Drug Take Back Event was held at the College of Pharmacy Building, the Saco Community Center and the Scarborough Police Department. Over 50 student members of the American Pharmacists Association – Academy of Students of Pharmacy (APhA-ASP) and 6 faculty members, Dr. Meghan Sullivan, Dr. Leslie Ochs, Dr. Lisa Pagnucco, Dr. Matt Lacroix, Dr. George Allen and Dr. Erin Koepf, provided an opportunity for the public to bring back unused drugs for safe disposal.
- April 27-29, 2012 – We had numerous faculty members and students involved with the Maine Pharmacy Association Spring Meeting in Freeport Maine. The College of Pharmacy is very proud the leadership that Dr. Kenneth 'Mac' McCall in his role as President of the MPA has provided over the last several years. It is great to see the growth of this organization and its role in advancing pharmacy and pharmacy practice across the state.
The College remains very appreciative of the support from the many individuals who serve as preceptors, interviewers or friends of the College through our annual campaign. If you are interested in serving as a preceptor or interviewer or just to learn more about the College and our activities, please give my office a call at 207-221-4500 or send me a note at email@example.com. I would very much like the opportunity to visit with you and tell you more about our activities in the College. Finally, information about our College's Annual Campaign which supports student scholarships, travel and research can be found at http://www.une.edu/pharmacy/giving.cfm. I would like to leave you with a quote by Edwin Way Teale who reminds us that "The world's favorite season is the spring. All things seem possible in May." Dream big and enjoy your own marvelous month!

In brief, nobody should go along with idiots who try to portray Islam and horrible and filthy. That is out of the question. Being a Muslim is the lifestyle of the best quality people in the world. Just think, how can a person be most perfect? Living by Islam. How can he be the best and highest quality? Living by Islam. The pleasantest, the most intelligent, the cleanest, the most accurate in his actions, the finest thinking, the most modest, the most affectionate, the most humane… I could go on for ever. Muslim is what you call someone who integrates all these qualities. Who knows Allah and is fully submitted to Him. Of course, knowing Allah is very important. People want you to teach them to pray and the ritual purifications. But do you believe in Allah first? Getting up and down is not praying. You must have faith first. There is no prayer without faith. Not, prayer first, then faith. Almighty Allah always speaks of faith in the Qur'an. Allah has created our minds as we can easily find faith and find Him if we do not strain ourselves. We have been created to be fully submitted. If someone regards faith as hard, then satan will infest him. Faith is easy. One just has to leave a person to his natural state, to himself, leave his soul so its normal state. Someone in his natural state will then forge a bond with Allah. It is because people go along with satan and force themselves that they cannot establish a bond with Allah. They are caught up behind silly doubts. Why is this like this, and that like that? They do not think the best of Allah, they are suspicious of Him. For example, how did satan first cause Hazrat Adam (pbuh) and Hazrat Eve to doubt?
It is a terrible and very bad thing not to love Allah! Allah does all this work for us. Not work, but just so you understand. He takes such care... Look how lovely the stones of these prayer beads are. These are real stones. He creates them just to give us pleasure, masha'Allah. Almighty Allah makes a pumpkin pie and puts the sugar in the pumpkin, so the whole package is ready for us, masha'Allah. But look, it is Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) who has the most faith in Allah in all the world. There will be scholars and learned people. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will not have that much learning. We see that from the hadiths. He is not a learned person in that sense. He has not been educated. He has knowledge from the Mind of Allah, but no madrassa learning. He has not been educated by teachers and scholars. We can see that from the hadiths. He has knowledge from the Mind of Allah, revealed knowledge. He is one of the people of love. He is submitted to pain and suffering. Allah makes him Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) because of his sincere love. How many thousand years? He bestows the rank of Mahdi on him in the 10 or 20,000 years of history. Solely because of his submission in the face of troubles and difficulties and his fortitude. Allah asks him in the world beyond; "Are you willing to undergo much tribulation?" "I will make you the Mahdi after 6000 years," He says. Look, Almighty Allah gives the date. "I will make you the Mahdi after 6000 years," He says. "I will send you to mankind. But you will suffer many troubles and much pain. Do you agree?" "I accept with pride, O Lord," he replies. Allah later sends Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) to the world. If an ordinary person, someone from the society of ignorance, were to undergo Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh) sufferings for just one day, he might deny Allah, may He forbid. One day. While Allah fans his love, He will cause that weak-minded person to lose faith. Look, this is the secret of the test. The same. You take the same man, then another man comes and causes him to lose his faith, but with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), he incites the love of Allah. That is why Allah loves Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) very much. That is how it is with Jesus the Messiah (pbuh), too. He is a firm believer in Allah, with a huge and piercing faith. He has absolute faith. He never abandons it. Indeed, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is astonished by the weak in faith. You see that also in the Gospel. "O you who are weak in faith," he says. He is astonished. But the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) did not suffer, he always lived well and in comfort. The provisions in the Torah about that suffering refer to the King Messiah, Moshe. Shiloh, Moshiah, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh) Hebrew name is Moshiah, or Shiloh. "His Hebrew name will be heard in the sky," it says in a hadith. The name Shiloh, in other words. The hadith says that this name of Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh), the Hebrew name, will be heard among Muslims, in the Islamic world. Look, there are frequent references to Shiloh, aren't there? The Hebrew name. Look, this hadith has come about. This is Rasulullah's (saas) hadith come true.
In essence, Almighty Allah tests Muslims with a very fine test. A glorious test. I am amazed by Allah every day. A magnificent test. There are scholars with a store of learning, but no faith. Allah says in a verse that such people are like donkeys loaded with books. Allah compares them to donkeys loaded with books. But with faith, a huge system of the Mahdi can appear, people with such knowledge. But without faith, they are paralyzed. There are these very well-known scholars, but they have no faith. They are wretched, as if half-crazy. They speak the most nonsensical words.
Look how kindly Almighty Allah bestows this beauty. See His consideration. The perfume reaches us before we even cut the watermelon. Delicious.
(I response to a viewer who asks, "My dear hodja, has Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) begun work, or is he waiting?")
The way of the Mahdi is a most sincere activity. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a man of suffering. Bediüzzaman says, "That individual of the End Times may perhaps be recognized through the light of faith." Maybe, through the light of faith. People may think the best. Some of my brothers think the best of me, imagining I might be the Mahdi. That may sometimes come to one's mind. One may wonder, "Could I be the Mahdi?" It may come to many Muslims' minds. That is not a crime, it is something necessary. A Muslim prays to Allah to make pre-eminent among those who have faithfulness. There is a verse about it. In other words, every man and woman must pray to be like Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). But if one says, "I am the Mahdi, I am the person of the End Times, I will go to paradise," then that is unbelief and one thus abandons the faith. But thinking the best is always possible. That is a requirement of good moral values.
Surat al-Anfal, verse 62
Almighty Allah says:
"If they intend to deceive you, Allah is enough for you." If they wish to trick you, says Allah, "It is He Who supported you with His help and with the believeres," says Allah.
A verse that explicitly refers to the way of the Mahdi. Because it gives the date of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), insha'Allah. Of course it is a verse addressed to our Prophet (saas), but figuratively it refers to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
Surat al-Anfal, 63
"and unified their hearts..."says Almighty Allah of the believers. "Even if you had spent everything on the earth," no matter how much money or fortune you have, "you could not have unified their hearts. But Allah has unified them." He has made them brothers and made them love one another. "He is Almighty, All-Wise."
Surat al-Anfal, 64
"O Prophet! Allah is enough for you, and for the believers who follow you," says Almighty Allah.
This is at the same time a verse referring to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Look, "O Mahdi! Allah is enough for you, and for the believers who follow you," Because our Prophet (saas) is a Mahdi. Look, "Allah is enough for you, and for the believers who follow you," It does not matter if you are few in number, Allah says. It is not important if they attack you or defame you or imprison you. It is of no importance if they set traps and defame you. "Allah is enough for you, and for the believers who follow you," Because all strength lies in Me, He says. Who gave strength to those who uttered the slanders? Allah. They were destined to utter those slanders before they were even born.
Surat al-Anfal, 65
"O Prophet! spur on the believers to fight..." to preach, to spread Islam. "If there are twenty of you who are steadfast, they will overcome two hundred; and if there are a hundred of you, they will overcome a thousand of those who are kafir," atheists and unbelievers, "because they are people who do not understand."
Look how we have destroyed a great atheist mass with a very, very tiny community. We have eliminated the Darwinist mass. The verse explicitly refers to that. Look, Allah speaks of 20 people, not many. Twenty people is highly significant. The number of Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh) followers, a very special group of followers, does not exceed 20 in the hadiths. The verse also speaks of 20 people. It speaks of a group of 20 people among the 313. Look, "if there are a hundred of you." Not many people, do you see? One hundred. That is a second team.
Surat al-Anfal, 71
"But if they mean to betray you," says Allah of the hypocrites, "they have already previously betrayed Allah, so He has given you power over them. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise."
Surat al-Anfal, 73
"Those who are unbelievers," atheists, those who do not believe in Allah, Darwinists and materialists, "are the friends and protectors of one another." They are one another's friends and helpers. They protect and watch over one another everywhere. "If you do not act in this way," if Muslims do not support and protect and watch over one another everywhere, "there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption..." says Almighty Allah. All Muslims must support one another, He says. But what do people do? They fall out with one another, don't they? This verse describes a feature of the time of the way of the Mahdi. Look, "If you do not act in this way there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption." The way of the antichrist has made Muslims do this. And there has been great turmoil and corruption. Muslims have been defeated and scattered. And turmoil has enfolded the whole Islamic world. It is Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and his followers who will eliminate that turmoil. It is Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and his followers who will eliminate that corruption.
Surat al-Anfal, 74
"Those who believe," those who leave their families and join the Muslims for Allah's sake. "and make hijra later on and accompany you in striving," they take Muslims into their homes and protect their brothers. "and those who have given refuge and help," they give them material assistance. "they are the true believers." That is what real Muslims are like, says Allah. "They will have forgiveness and generous provision."
He says He will make them rich. This is a most superior reward. Allah says they will have pleasant food and drink and be wealthy. Normally, one would expect all that spending to impoverish them, wouldn't one? But Allah says He will make them rich. As a miracle.2012-06-24 13:26:16

Cineca's Tesla K20-Based "Eurora" Supercomputer Unveiled; Water Cooling Unlocks Extra Efficiencyby Ryan Smith on 1/31/2013 7:40 PM EST

Back to Article
xxtypersxx - Thursday, January 31, 2013 - linkAs someone who has watercooled every computer I've built for the last 5 years, its nice to see commercial applications begin to follow down that road. Those who haven't tried it would be astonished at the low voltage overclocks you get when the gpu is peaking under 50C. Reply
Plifzig - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkWhen you watercool you put the GPU and CPU in the loop? I've never pulled any covers/heatspreaders/anything off of a GPU and it just sounds stressful (to my nerves). I've wondered about watercooling, but haven't taken it for more than appreciation. Maybe my next build will use it.
Also, what's your ballpark estimation of watercooled CPU vs. watercooled CPU+GPU ratio? 20/80? 60/40? Just curious. Reply
kyp275 - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkIt's actually pretty simple really, just a few screws and off the entire shroud goes. The main issues for those new to watercooling is probably getting used to be leak tests/extra maintenance.
Not sure what you mean by the ratios, elaborate? Reply
Plifzig - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkThanks for the info and sorry for the convoluted question.
I was just wondering if people use watercooling on only the CPU and leave the GPU untouched. The ratio was the mix of CPU only cooled builds to CPU+GPU cooled builds.
A better way to ask would just be: what percentage of watercooled builds put CPU+GPU in the loop?
It was a long day so sorry for the confusion :) Reply
Death666Angel - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkThe forum I frequent for my water cooling needs have most people there running at least CPU and GPU custom rigs (the more active people also have RAM and mainboard, the more extreme of those HDDs and some even the PSU). And if a newbie comes there and asks for advice on water cooling his CPU, most of the people there will say that he shouldn't do it CPU-only and use existing high end air coolers or CLCs, because they work just as well just for the CPU. If you want to go custom water cooling, use it for the GPU mostly (that is the 200+W part of the PC generating most of the noise) and since the CPU part is pretty cheap and you already have all the equipment apart from the CPU heatsink, add that to the mix for best operation.
So I would say a maximum of 10-20% of the custom water cooling rigs are CPU only (with half of those looking to upgrade to CPU+GPU when money and time allows). 80-90% then is at least CPU+GPU. Reply
Sabresiberian - Saturday, February 02, 2013 - link+1 for a very informative reply! Reply
kyp275 - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkPretty much what Death666 said. Most people who would go through the effort of building their own watercooling setup isn't going to leave out the GPU, which tends to be the hottest/loudest part of the PC.
Those that would want to cool the CPU only will likely opt for a pre-built closed-loop systems instead. Reply
Death666Angel - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkThere is no need to remove heatspreaders when using most water cooling solutions. Just get rid of the shroud, heatsink and fan.
If you water cool using costum solutions, it usually makes little sense to only use GPU or CPU water cooling. The GPU is the main culprit in generating heat and noise in a modern gaming PC (~200 to 300W standard TDP compared to 80-130W standard TDP for CPUs). So you should always use water cooling for the GPU. And since CPU water blocks are usually pretty cheap compared to full cover GPU ones (~30-50€ vs 80-30€), it makes only a small dent in the pocket to include the CPU as well, but it usually offers better temperatures, better noise, better overclocking etc.
And I also don't get the ratio thing. Reply
xxtypersxx - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkThe most recent one I've ran in both a CPU only loop as well as with GPU's is a firstname.lastname@example.com that later got a couple of extra GTX 470's in the loop. This took load cpu temperature from ~60C to ~66C. Water loops self regulate in a way as long as your room temperature stays constant: the hotter the water gets, the higher the temperature delta over ambient becomes and the more efficient the radiator(s) become at transferring extra heat. The real winners in the loop are the 470's... Load temps went from 90C to ~45C (the large area of a GPU die makes it much easier for the waterblock to pull off heat). That system has one 360 and one 120 radiator, no heatspreaders were removed. Reply
IanCutress - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkIt would be interesting to see the efficiency or flow rates of the pumps used, or the reservoir/pump combinations along the line. That much water going around a rack or three has got to equal some serious volume which needs to be shifted. Reply
ShieTar - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkI don't think it needs to be much more than would already circulate in a conventional gasburning heating system. You just replace the heating section by the rack. I'm sure the pipe-system of a usual office building is more extensive in terms of volume than the actual cooling system for the computer. Reply
jack.fxx - Sunday, February 03, 2013 - linkIf you still remember something from high school physics courses, based on temperature difference and input power of the supercomputer, you can easily calculate flow rate of cooling water. Reply
Gadgety - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkGreat to see water cooling improving and getting an industrial slant rather than the homebuilt it was just 10 years ago. I'm a novice to water cooling, aiming for GPU and CPU loops and an external radiator in a separate room. I'll be getting heat in the basement as a bonus. No, it won't heat it a lot, but the basement is always cooler so the cooling will be more efficient. Provided the flow rates, connections, pumps etc are appropriate. This is where I find its gets tricky. I concur with Ian Cutress "tIt would be interesting to see the efficiency or flow rates of the pumps used, or the reservoir/pump combinations along the line." Reply
maximumGPU - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkNice Article!
to all experienced watercoolers out there.. how silent does your system run?
I want to jump into watercooling but i'm big on silent pcs as well. At the moment i'm running a 3570K with a large Silver Arrow heatsink, together with the incredibly silent Asus DCUII GTX 670. So i end up with good temps and very low noise levels. My question is, with watercooling, could i possibly get even cooler temps for the same noise level as my air setup? Reply
Death666Angel - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkYes? WC can always to cooler running and more quiet than any air coolers out there. The question is how much you want to spend, if you want to mount your radiators inside the case or if you are fine with external radiators etc. And if you have the space, you can always put the external radiator in another room where the noise doesn't bother anyone.
I guess if you use a 480+ radiator with your rig, you could achieve very nice temperatures with minimal noise. How much better temps/more quiet operation? No idea, I don't know how loud your current rig is, how much you want to spend etc. Go visit a water cooling forum and get some info there. :) Reply
MrSpadge - Saturday, February 02, 2013 - linkIntuitively I assume they could lower their power consumption further by running the 20°C water in parallel through the racks, instead of letting the water heat up serially. Depending on how many racks they're using (not many, for the prototype, I guess.. probably even just a single one) they could lower the operating temperature of the last racks significantly. Reply
ShieTar - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkSure that would lower the rack temperature, but you would end up with a lot of 25°C water useless for the purpose of heating. The main point of the setup is to use the heat from the racks for a purpose that needs heat anyways, in this example heating of office space. And that requires a reasonable temperature delta to be achieved. It's this kind of systematic approach to energy that helps to lower overall energy consumption without having any drawback whatsoever that is horribly under-utilized in todays world.
Just think of the fridge in your home cooling the inside while heating the kitchen air even in summer, instead of heating your watersupply for your next shower. If I ever get around to building my own home, I will definitly try to connect all heat-generating systems to a common waterccoling/heating system. Reply

PALM COAST, Fla. - A 38-year-old Palm Coast man was hurt Wednesday morning during a home invasion where three gunmen broke into their home and forced him and his wife to lay on the ground, according to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.
The man and his wife, also 38, told deputies that as the two were sitting at the kitchen table about 7:45 a.m., three men, all wearing black ski masks and gloves, broke into their home.
The woman was forced to lie face down on the floor by one of the men, while another pointed a gun at her husband. The home invader then grabbed the man from behind, placed him in a choke hold and struck him twice in the head, according to a Flagler County Sheriff's release. The man then was forced to lay face down on the floor.
The man said the robbers took an undetermined amount of cash and jewelry. Holiday gifts and electronics were not taken, according to the victim.
Deputies are still searching for the men, and are asking for anyone with information to call Flagler County Sheriff's Office.

Some Secrets of the Qur'an
Prayer Keeps Man Away from Evil
Prayer is prescribed for believers five times a day, as specified in the Qur'an. God promised to reward those who strictly guard their prayers and who are constant in their prayers. Another reward that those who establish prayer will receive is revealed in the Qur'an as follows:
As God states in the verse above, those who perform prayer are kept away from indecency and evil. God inspires the avoidance of such wrongdoing.
One who strictly safeguards and performs prayers as prescribed in the Qur'an is one who fears God. One who stands, bows and prostrates before the Lord five times a day will surely keep away from wrong actions and as a result feel deeply in awe of God. The conscience of such people, by the will and inspiration of God, will keep them away from evil and indecency. Even if they do something wrong for an instant, they will realise their wrongdoing while praying and reflecting before the Lord on His infinite power. Thus they will repent and avoid wrongdoing in the future.

Howard Crosby Warren (1867–1934) was an American psychologist and the first chairman of the Princeton University Psychology department.[1] He was also president of the American Psychological Association in 1913.[2] The Society of Experimental Psychologists awards the Howard Crosby Warren Medal each year in his honor.
Academic education Edit
Warren graduated from Princeton in 1889, and received his A.M. in 1891. Starting in 1891, he studied abroad at the universities in Leipzig, Berlin and Munich, but left by 1892 to help establish a psychological laboratory at Princeton University with James Baldwin. Despite not earning a doctorate until 1917 Warren was appointed professor in 1902.
Professional career Edit
Having become professor in 1902 Warren went on to be appointed director of the Nassau Hall laboratory in 1904, the Stuart Professor of Psychology in 1914, and in 1920 the first head of the Princeton Psychology Department. He is also noted as having been a major contributor to the erection of the Eno Hall built in 1924.[2]
He was elected APA President in 1913.
Commemoration Edit
Howard C Warren is today commemorated by the Society of Experimental Psychologists, which he helped found, and who annually awards to one of its members the Howard Crosby Warren Medal.[3] At Princeton his private psychological library is housed in the Green Halls, which replaced Eno Hall as the home of psychology in 1963.
