Mount Saint
Mary College's Catholic and Dominican Institute will host a free
public talk, "The Church of the Second Vatican Council: A Work
Complete, Yet Always in Progress," on September 27 at 7 pm.
The lecture will take place at Founders Chapel in Guzman Hall,
on campus at 330 Powell Avenue Newburgh.
Theologian Fr. Robert Christian, OP, will present the talk,
which marks the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council.
Fr. Christian (pictured at right) has worked at the Vatican,
served in many administrative capacities in the Dominican
community, and educated students from around the globe.
He will enlighten listeners with exploring the meaning of Latin
phrases such as "Ecclesia Christi subsistit in Ecclesia Catholica"
from the Vatican II document "Lumen Gentium" and how the wording
denotes both continuity and reform over the original expression,
"Ecclesia Christi est Ecclesia Catholica."
He will also discuss how ecumenical dialogue furthers the
exploration of faith, making such dialogue vital to the Church's
continued growth and well-being.
"The Church's engagement in ecumenical dialogue is not, say, an
exercise in mere good will, wherein the Catholic Church does not
actually believe she has anything to gain; she stands to gain an
appreciation of what she already possesses, and she stands to
strengthen the appreciation of dialogue partners of those same
elements," said Fr. Christian.
"Vatican II" significantly articulated the protocol of the Roman
Catholic Church and its relationship with the modern world. Pope
John XXIII convened the Second Vatican Council to "throw open the
windows of the church so that we can see out and the people can see
More than 2,500 Catholic bishops and priests participated.
Invitations were also extended to Protestant and Orthodox Eastern
churches and to male and female religious orders.
The Second Vatican Council discerned that increased lay
participation in the liturgy necessitated celebration in local
languages, instead of just Latin. The council also addressed
religious freedom, the Church's overall mission, and many other
Born and raised in San Francisco, Fr. Christian attended a
Jesuit university. During his junior year in Italy, he lived in a
Dominican parish.
"During that year I realized that God was calling me to
priesthood in a contemplative and active religious order that prays
the choral office and shares all things – even decisions – in
common," he said.
He wrote to his vocation director in California, and after
graduation he entered the Dominican novitiate. He was ordained a
priest in 1976.
The Catholic and Dominican Institute,
directed by Charles Zola, assistant professor of philosophy,
promotes the college's heritage; advances the Dominican charism of
study and service; provides a forum for discussion of contemporary
ethical issues; and enhances Catholic and Jewish dialogue. Guided
by the college's vision and mission statement, the institute
welcomes persons of varied faiths and acknowledges different
religious traditions as essential to the college's intellectual and
spiritual life.
Future Catholic and Dominican Institute events at the Mount
include a presentation by Sr. Nancy Murray, OP (actor Bill Murray's
sister) about the Dominican saint Catherine of Siena, on Thursday,
October 11. Nancy Marie Brown will visit the Mount on Monday,
November 19 to speak about her book "The Abacus and the Cross" in
the Villa Library.

Synology Introduces Media-Centric DS214playby Ganesh T S on 10/22/2013 4:00 AM EST

nathanddrews - Tuesday, October 22, 2013 - link1. What codecs and containers are supported? (i.e.: when is the review coming?)
2. Is the platform open enough for users to introduce new codecs and containers?
3. Can an Atom transcode multiple Blu-ray backups (MKV/ISO) at once? Can it transcode one? :| Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, October 22, 2013 - link(1) I have been told that we have hardware accelerated transcoding for H.264, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and Real Media in AVI, WMV, RM and MKV containers. Other formats will be handled in software. Can confirm once I have the unit in hand in early November.
(2) You are looking for a Windows / Linux PC, then :) I think it is possible to write a Synology app to do this, but you will be doing it in software and the Atom CPU in EvanSport is not very powerful
(3) Atom, by itself, can't handle probably even one HD transcode. EvanSport has decode / encode blocks which take this task away from the host CPU (After all, Berryville -- the original code name for EvanSport -- is targeted at the set top box market). I think it can handle a couple of HD streams for transcoding simultaneously, but don't hold me to it (I have to check the documentation, will let you know in the review) Reply

WhitneyLand - Tuesday, October 22, 2013 - linkThe biggest shortcomings I see are:
1) No HDMI 2.0. 4k movies may not be close, but with phones already supporting 4k video encoding and the 4k foundation being laid in gaming, there are real uses coming soon.
2) 2-bay NAS is weak, like Ukraine. Reply

This is a NAS, not an STB or streamer or HTPC. Reply

DanNeely - Tuesday, October 22, 2013 - linkWorks for me now. An earlier version didn't have the 114/414 gallery at all. I think you tried in midupdate.
OTOH it'd make sense to have all the pictures uploaded before the gallery was added to the page. CMS bug? Manual update ooops? Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, October 22, 2013 - linkThat must have been a transient issue.. I checked personally on multiple PCs / tablets after posting the article to ensure that the galleries had no issues.
The CMS used to have a problem when the filename had a '+' embedded in it, but I believe that has since been resolved. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, October 22, 2013 - linkComparing external features between models is interesting. 2 of the differences I see are surprising in that they represent features apparently removed from higher end models.
The 214 is the only model with an SD card reader.
Both the 114 and 214 have eSata connectors but the 414 does not. Reply
jensend - Tuesday, October 22, 2013 - linkI think it's pretty lame to be introducing units at these kinds of prices using 2011 processors. For 2014 I'd expect something Silvermont based rather than old Saltwell/Cedarview and PowerVR, esp. if you're going to charge these prices for it. Reply
Integr8d - Tuesday, October 29, 2013 - linkIt's because these are still primarily storage devices. The multimedia aspect is being realized. But it's slow coming. Mainly, it boils down to the fact that if you need need massive number crunching as well as storage considerations, heavier iron is required. As far Cedarview, I have an 8-bay version of this box and it can easily handle the math to keep the two Gigabit lines saturated. The newer version has has four Gigabit lines and peaks at over 300MBps. So for shifting data around, using a multitude of different protocols, it does well. Really, Synology's software, which separates all of the different NAS vendors, is the gold standard. Sometimes, I feel that they're biting off more than they can chew. But they're definitely pushing the envelope.
I think Netgear's ReadyNAS has a Core i3 in some of their boxes. But I'd shy away from them, after dropping a nice amount of coin on one of their 6-bays and having them drop software support like a bad habit. They will unapologetically deprecate your hardware.
I think I read, the other day, that Western Digital has a 4-bay box now with a Xeon. That's pretty crazy for something like a NAS. But maybe they have bigger plans. Reply
RoboJ1M - Thursday, October 31, 2013 - linkFYI the DS214play is listed as compatible with the DX line of expansion units.
So you can add another 2 or 5 bays via the eSATA port. Reply

Sometimes surprise birthday parties aren't exactly what they're cracked up to be. So many things can go wrong.
The timing may not be exactly right. Someone important to the scheme could get lost. And, worst of all, loose lips sinks ships.
But that wasn't the case this week for Marco Freyre and Mike Cameron. They're both in the neighborhood of 66 with April birthdays only a week apart. And they couldn't have been more grateful for a birthday surprise they received. You see, honors don't often come their way.
They are both from Orange County and they both have made mistakes that have nearly killed them. They both have addictions and both have been homeless. And both of them have lived for about the last five years at Double R Ranch near Warner Springs.
Double R stands for Redemption and Restarting, which is exactly what the ranch is all about. Open to about two-dozen Orange County residents, it's a faith-based working ranch, run by the Orange County Rescue Mission. The nonprofit has been screening and referring residents there for about the last eight years.
The idea is to take homeless and addicted men off the streets and put them in an environment where they care for animals and each other.
They are no longer dependent on drugs or alcohol,. Instead, 23 horses, 160 goats, 100 chickens, five guard dogs and eight herding dogs are all dependent on them.
Cameron and Freyre are the oldest in the group, according to Melanie McNiff, who runs the ranch with her husband, Pat.
"They are two beautiful, loving human beings, and extremely well-liked," Melanie said. She added that Cameron has faced addiction virtually all his life, and Freyre once owned some businesses, but was eventually overcome by his dependance on cocaine.
"They very seldom get any mail," McNiff said. "We are the only family they have."
So, on Thursday, McNiff cooked up a plan to surprise both men and the rest of the guys. About the time they would normally be caring for the horses, they took off on a field trip to Temecula. The horses and goats and chickens could care for themselves. This pack was headed for town.
The first stop was the Sweet Shoppe in Old Town, where all were treated to their choice of ice cream. And while they waited in the shade, a special visitor dropped by.
McNiff, working with Haynes Antique Car Chauffeuring in San Diego, arranged for a 1947 Chevrolet Woody to come cruising by on Front Street about the same time the boys were sucking down that ice cream. Hmmmm, 1947, isn't that the same year Mike and Marco were born?
Sure enough, owner and driver Marvin Miles stopped, and with a little good acting, the "birthday boys" were invited for a ride. They toured parts of Temecula and Wine Country.
"I really enjoyed this; I'm so touched," said a beaming Freyre, as he emerged from the car a half-hour later. Riding in a Woody brought back memories of his surfing days as a kid.
"This was a complete surprise," Cameron added. "I had no idea this was going to happen."
But the day wasn't done. The birthday boys and their ranching buddies met again at Edwards Cinema in The Promenade mall, where they were treated to a matinee showing of "42." It's the story of Brooklyn Dodger great Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in the all-white major leagues, also in 1947.
It's funny, isn't it? At one point it would have been easy to say that all these men were abandoned and hopeless. But with some care and self-determination, they've shown that they can hold their heads high.
Happy Birthday, Mike and Marco; and good luck to all the residents of Double R Ranch.

Forums: Index > Watercooler > Article Style Standard Rules
Initial Question Edit
Should we have a page that explains some of the ways articles are made standard in the WotC supplements so that there is an easy place to find whether one style is acceptable or not? Also, should there also be a page that explains some of the standard English rules (such as how possession works) for those who do not have English as their first language (*cough* Leziad *cough* or those who just do not remember what the rules are? Havvy 05:20, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Regarding the second one, I think that would be nice in a more limited focus. A mini-tutorial of what to do and not to do would be very beneficial in all likelihood. Little things like not capitalizing class names in the middle of sentences, how to create interwiki links (including [[#Ability Name|text]]); things that apply more specifically to here is what I'm getting at. I don't think someone who hasn't bothered to learn every in and out of the English language (a rather difficult one, I'm told) would bother to learn for the sake of our wikia. And the standards (first part of your proposal) are also questionable unless there are multiple options (i.e. stripping out the flavor as Tome content tends to do), because not everyone wants to bother with that and that shouldn't be an issue. -- Jota 15:36, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Painting the Black
Cash/Rizz Everything Around Me
As easy as it is to forget, the Jesus Montero-Michael Pineda deal was not the only trade made during that month in which a young pitcher was moved for a young hitter. A week earlier, the Cubs and Padres exchanged Andrew Cashner for Anthony Rizzo as part of a four-player swap. Though not a challenge trade by the strictest definition—the two players did not man the same position—it nonetheless felt like one, in large part because of the executives who were involved.
Josh Byrnes and Jed Hoyer weren't strangers when negotiations began. Previously the pair had worked together under Theo Epstein in Boston. Eventually they broke off to run their own teams, but after Byrnes was fired from Arizona he reunited with Hoyer in San Diego—coincidentally enough, just days before the Adrian Gonzalez deal that sent Rizzo to the Padres. Roughly 12 months later, Hoyer had joined Epstein with the Cubs and Byrnes had taken the reins in San Diego. The Rizzo-Cashner trade came together within months, and those on the outside had to wonder to what degree Byrnes and Hoyer differed in their evaluations of the first baseman.
That doesn't mean much on its own, but it reinforces what should be an obvious point: Smart people—even those within the same circles and front offices—can evaluate players differently.
There's an objective side to it, of course: Rizzo has accumulated about two more wins than Cashner, per most value metrics, but that slim gap appears slimmer due to how they both got here. Rizzo owned 2012, hitting for average and power during his first run in Chicago; Cashner, meanwhile, split his freshman season with the Padres between the bullpen and the disabled list. Early on, the 2013 season appeared to favor Rizzo as well—he homered eight times in April then signed a seven-year extension in May—but his second-half slump coincided with Cashner's surge and left the two on even ground heading into year three.
Which side has the upper-hand heading forward? Let's take a look.
Impressive raw stuff has remained Cashner's signature since his days at TCU. Blessed with enough heat to make an alligator sweat, the 27-year-old's fastball averaged 95 mph last season despite moving to the rotation and vowing to pace himself, a la Justin Verlander. In addition to the above-average velocity, Cashner's fastball is appealing due to its sink and his ability to throw the pitch for strikes (65 percent in 2013, per Brooks Baseball) and down in the zone. Unsurprisingly, Cashner kept his groundball rate north of 50 percent; a good thing in general, but particularly in San Diego due to Petco Park's high grass.
Beside the fastball, Cashner has three other pitches. Early in the season his slider, typically his out pitch, was absent, replaced by his changeup and curveball. Yet by the time the final two months rolled around, Cashner was back to using his slider more than a quarter of the time. Consider that an encouraging sign for those looking to believe in his second-half improvements. Sometimes Cashner's secondary command wavers, as he leaves the pitches too high in the zone, but his fastball keeps batters honest about a deeper arsenal than the nonstop bullpen projections suggest.
In reality, those projections stem from Cashner's health. His shoulder's well-being remains a potential blockade between him and his no. 2 or 3 starter ceiling. Cashner has missed at least two weeks due to shoulder strains on three occasions, including a five-month absence in 2011 that all but ended his Cubs career. Even last season, the healthiest of his big-league career, he began the year in the bullpen due to an offseason hunting accident that resulted in a lacerated tendon in his thumb. Until Cashner tops 200 innings in back-to-back seasons, or at least goes a year without a noteworthy injury, his odds of remaining on the field will be doubted. If he does maintain a clean bill of health in 2014, he's a good candidate to outperform his PECOTA projection, which pegs him for a 3.88 ERA and 0.8 WARP.
There are other concerns about Rizzo's game worth noting—he hasn't hit left-handed pitching, and the longstanding worries about his ineffectiveness versus good velocity remain—but the pendulum has swung too far the other way. Rizzo, who led the Cubs in home runs, finished 11th among first basemen in WARP—right around the same place as Allen Craig, Adrian Gonzalez, and Mike Napoli. What's more is the idea he might hit for either average or power, but not both at once, is three years old.
Even if Rizzo can't do both, he stands to be a useful player. Batting around .250 with 20-to-25 home runs and good defense at the cold corner won't cause anyone to confuse him for Miguel Cabrera, but it's enough for him to be among the league's top-half of first basemen—if not better. While not the outcome many hoped for, Rizzo's contributions shouldn't be dismissed due to the unreasonable expectations borne from an out-of-control hype machine. For it's part, PECOTA expects Rizzo to split the difference between his first two seasons with the Cubs: .256/.330/.467, good for three wins over more than 600 plate appearances. Not all-star worthy, but quality.
The Verdict
Here is a sampling of the explanations:
Kiley McDaniel, Scout: "Both have shown the ability to be above-average regulars in the bigs, both have the tools to replicate the performance, and both have real concerns. I'd probably take Cashner since he has a better chance to be an impact guy and addressed his biggest concerns last year with 175 IP and showing the ability to make adjustments as a starter."
Tommy Rancel, ESPN Sweetspot Network: "Rizzo. Because that type of offensive potential is a rarely available on the free market or through a trade, where as a number three starter is usually obtainable one way or the other."
League analyst: "I like Cashner more now than I did a couple of years ago, but Rizzo's got youth and not being a pitcher on his side."
Jason Collette, FanGraphs: "I'll go with Rizzo. First basemen are tougher to draft and develop these days, so having one pre-prime years is an advantage over the competition."
Jonah Keri, Grantland: "Cashner. I see his upside as that of an ace, with Rizzo's ceiling more like a B+ first baseman."
Everyone on the outside loves rip-off deals, where we can teeth-gnash and snark. But when general managers agree to a trade, the optimal outcome is a win-win deal. Byrnes and Hoyer valued Rizzo differently, yet two years later it appears to be a fair deal. Montero-Pineda gets all the press, but Cashner-Rizzo might be the perfect baseball trade.
Special thanks to the nine folks who partook in the survey.

"First basemen are tougher to draft and develop these days..."
Feb 19, 2014 07:44 AM
Good questions that are worth looking into.
Feb 19, 2014 08:00 AM
Okay, so I did some quick research in an attempt to shed light on these questions: "How many players are drafted as first basemen vs. being moved there if their defense fails to come in at a another position? Has that changed in anyway from the past?"
Feb 19, 2014 08:56 AM
The subheading begs for a future arbitration projection section titled 'Dollar dollar bill, y'all.'

I do think Rizzo has a bunch of bounceback potential. I also prefer an above-average position player to a similarly above-average pitcher. I'm a Cubs fan, so I suppose I have to declare a bias, but I still feel unqualified excitement about the Cubs' side of the deal. Enjoyed the writeup, R.J. Thorough and thought-provoking, as always.

Fall 2011: Strait Laced
Neutral Territory
Here, Julianne channels the innocent side of the preacher's daughter—and the sweeter side of fall—through Dior's floaty layers. There's nothing more enduring than the leg-elongating nude patent pump, and this one by Christian Louboutin could easily be the most versatile shoe in existence. When patterns get too loud or colors too bright—or, as seen here, superlight—there's nothing better than the relief of this next-to-nothing (goes-with-everything) staple.
Flash Drive
The first time Ren spots Ariel across the church courtyard, there's no mistaking that instant spark. The same could be said for a major-statement shoe: Sometimes head-turning starts from the ground up. I love it when you first meet a woman and gather everything you need to know about her from her shoes. These Brian Atwood leopard-and-feather statement heels tell me she's bold and confident. Even if she's wearing a sheer top and tap shorts, you don't forget the shoes.

Did you know?
Whaling was introduced to Beacon Isle at Plettenberg Bay in 1912 – and ceased in 1920.
Plettenberg Bay, the 'Riviera of South Africa', has been called by many names over the past 500 years.
In 1448, Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias dubbed it the 'Bay of Lagoons'. In 1576, his countryman, Manuel da Mesquita Perestrello, called it 'Bahia Formosa' – Beautiful Bay. It was also called the Bay of Content, while in 1778 Cape Governor Baron Joachim van Plettenberg took one look at this idyllic spot and 'graced' it with his own name.
A scant four years later the dandy traveller Francois le Vaillant came visiting, and in his records he calls it 'Blettemberg Bay'. He also inadvertently renamed the nearby Keurbooms River 'Queur Boom'.
Call it what you like, Plettenberg Bay has been a glamour seaside spot of South Africa for ages, and these days, every Christmas it's the place to see and be seen. Locals will tell you that at this time the 'air is thick with helicopters' carrying the rich and famous to the polo fields and resorts that dot the district.
This part of the Garden Route in the Western Cape was first inhabited by Middle Stone Age people who lived in a series of caves along the coastline for more than 100 000 years. It still yields the tools, middens and ornaments of the Khoisan who followed them.
In 1630, a Portuguese merchant ship called the Sao Goncalo floundered into Plettenberg Bay. About 100 of the crew went ashore and built a camp. They are noted as the first permanent European residents of what is fondly known simply as 'Plett'.
Unfortunately the ship sank with the remaining 400-odd souls on board. The survivors stayed for about a year, building boats that would take them in small parties to India and, eventually, back to Portugal.
Dutch settlers moved into the Plettenberg Bay area early in the 1770s, which prompted Van Plettenberg to make a rather grand road trip from Cape Town across the wilderness to this marvellous bay.
Farmers en route were instructed to prepare banquets, supplies and relief horses for the passing grandee. The party was led by explorer-soldier Captain Robert Gordon, and two months later the governor had a special memorial stone erected on a hill above the bay to mark the occasion.
Van Plettenberg's journey was shaded by that of Le Vaillant, who at one stage found himself on the wrong end of a Knysna elephant, hurtling through thick forests to escape the enraged beast.
His time at 'Blettemberg Bay' was marked with a rather rich supper of elephant trunk, and an equally astounding breakfast of elephant foot. He pronounced both to be delicious and proceeded on his jaunty way.
Serious family dynasties have settled in Plettenberg Bay over the centuries, helping to set up an infrastructure that is, in fact, still a work in progress. Every year, the fleshpots of Plett surprise, delight and astound the hundreds of thousands of visitors to the beautiful bay.

Bedner Growers Inc., Delray Beach, Fla., voluntarily recalled 1,610 boxes of fresh green bell peppers because they are potentially contaminated with salmonella.
Bedner harvested and shipped the peppers March 25. They are marked with the lot code 102 on the side of each box, according to an April 26 news release from the company.
No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall and no other Bedner Growers' products are affected by the recall. Bedner Growers shipped the all of the recalled peppers to Delk Produce Sales, Pompano Beach, Fla., on March 25, according to the release. After that, Bedner Growers did not handle or further distribute the recalled product.
Green bell peppers have a 21-day shelf life, according to the Bedner news release.
"According to our customer, product was distributed nationally with a small number of cases also going to Quebec, Canada," according to the release.
Bedner officials initiated the recall within hours of receiving notification from the Food and Drug Administration "late on April 25," the release said.
The FDA told company officials a single sample taken April 4 had tested positive for salmonella. Government officials took the sample before the produce reached a retail outlet, but they did not inform Bedner Growers of the sample test until April 25.
"We use FDA-supported and industry-accepted, on-farm good agricultural practices to grow and harvest our fresh produce, and we are in the process of compiling and providing those records to FDA," said operations manager Marie Bedner in the news release.
Bedner Growers was able to trace the product to one lot harvested in a particular section of a single farm on March 25.
"Although the peppers were picked and shipped a month ago, we are voluntarily issuing this recall because we want to ensure that we minimize even the slightest risk to public health," said Bedner. "As a fourth-generation family farm, we understand that the shoppers who buy our products are the heart of our business, and we are taking this matter seriously."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/5/2013 (1571 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A big crowd that turned out at Assiniboia Downs Saturday afternoon hoping to see a little Manitoba horse racing history get made went home disappointed as Manitoba-connected Goldencents couldn't overcome a hot early pace and a bad trip and finished a disappointing 17th in the Kentucky Derby in Louisville.
A crowd of at least 500 filled the second floor of the Portage Avenue facility to watch a simulcast of the 139th running of the Derby from Churchill Downs and cheer on Goldencents, a three-year-old colt whose mother and grandmother were both Manitoba-breds who ran at Assiniboia Downs.
It was the first time in memory that a horse with such deep Manitoba-bred racing connections ran in the continent's marquee horse race. Winnipeggers weren't the only ones who liked his chances as the horse went off late Saturday afternoon as the third-favorite in the 19-horse field at odds of 7-1.
Racing on a sloppy track after a day of rain in Lousiville, Goldencents rider Kelvin Krigger — who was trying to make history of his own as what would have been the first black jockey to win the Derby since 1902 — got a clean break from the gate and immediately hustled his front-running horse out to the front of the pack.
Krigger tucked in nicely behind the leaders in fourth place and appeared to be content to stalk a blistering early pace. But as the horses headed for the far turn, a wall of horses formed in front of Goldencents and the horse visibly faltered in the blinding mud.
Goldencents never factored after that and faded badly down the stretch. Krigger stood in the saddle midway down the stretch and gently gallopped Goldencents over the finish line.
"It was disappointing. For such good positioning early, I think everyone was expecting more," said Downs CEO Darren Dunn, one of the many who watched on TV at the Downs.
It was not, suffice to say, the result local handicappers were hoping for. A deafening roar in the clubhouse faded to almost complete silence as pre-race favourite, Orb, was the first to reach the finish line in a tepid 2:02.4. Orb paid 12.80 to win, Golden Soul paid $38.60 to place and Revolutionary paid $5.40 to show.
With the barns at Assiniboia Downs full these days as the track prepares for tomorrow's opening day of the 2013 live racing meet, many in the crowd who turned up to watch Goldencents run on Saturday were veteran Downs horsemen who would have raced against his mother — Golden Works — and grandmother — Body Works — at the Downs over the years.
There were also more casual Winnipeg racing fans sipping mint juleps and wearing the fancy Derby hats that are such a big part of the tradition of the first Saturday in May. The Downs had staged a promotion on Saturday in which one fan would have won a one-ounce gold coin if Goldencents had won.
One person conspicuous by his absence on Saturday was Phil Kives, the former owner and breeder of both Golden Works and Body Works. Kives sold Golden Works a couple of years ago for a paltry $7,000 after the horse had underperformed on the track at the Downs and her foals had also failed to live up to the legend of their grandmother, Body Works, who won 14 stakes and over $250,000 racing for Kives at the Downs.
The new ownership bred Golden Works in Kentucky to an equally little-known sire and the result was magic, as Goldencents had a fabulous three-year-old campaign that included an impressive — and very fast — win in the Santa Anita Derby last month.
Kives had promised last week that he would be at the Downs to watch Goldencents run, but was nowhere in evidence on Saturday.
Dunn said he's not sure what to make of what he saw out of Goldencents on Saturday in Louisville.
"You could come up with a million excuses I guess — muddy track, too close to the pace, an inexperienced jockey in a Triple Crown race. But the fact is the result just wasn't there.
"There were 17 other horses in that race who also had stories to tell. There can only be one winner."

Correia superb as Morneau's homer lifts Twins
Minnesota's starter goes eight frames, besting Texas' Ogando
MINNEAPOLIS -- It has only been five starts, but it is fair to say Kevin Correia has been a pleasant surprise for the Twins so far this season.
Correia, who joined the club on a two-year deal worth $10 million this offseason after spending the previous 10 years in the National League, has been the club's most consistent starter in the early going, and he was at it again Sunday afternoon.
Correia threw eight scoreless innings, and Justin Morneau connected on a two-run homer to help lift the Twins to a 5-0 win over the Rangers at Target Field.
"It was a nice win for us," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "It was another well-pitched game by Kevin. It's unbelievable. His success is about throwing it over and getting ahead in the count, and I think we saw him do that all day getting ground balls and pop flies."
Correia, who has lasted at least seven innings in all five of his starts, gave up just six hits and a walk and improved to 3-1 with a 2.23 ERA.
Correia's impressive start comes after he reached the seven-inning mark in just three of his 28 starts with the Pirates last season. The eight innings against the Rangers were the most by Correia since he threw a complete game against the Reds on April 18, 2011.
"In the National League I'd have maybe five less innings than I do right now, because you'd be pinch-hit for in close games," Correia said. "So to go out there a little bit longer is fun. The way I pitch is to keep my pitch count down when it's going well, so it's been nice."
He outpitched hard-throwing Rangers right-hander Alexi Ogando, who gave up three runs on four hits -- including the two-run blast from Morneau in the sixth -- and two walks over six innings.
"That's a tough pitcher over there," Morneau said. "He's a guy who can run it 94-95, but he just made a mistake with a breaking ball, and I took advantage of it."
Chris Parmelee got the Twins on the board in the fourth on a sacrifice fly to score Josh Willingham, who walked and reached third on a single from Morneau.
But Morneau's biggest hit came in the sixth, when he launched his two-run blast off Ogando after Willingham drew his second walk of the game. It was Morneau's second of the season and his first since April 13.
"Today, really, Alexi made one mistake," Rangers catcher A.J. Pierzynski said. "It was to Morneau; he threw a slider up, and Morneau didn't miss it. The two walks hurt, obviously; they both scored. But other than that he threw the ball really well. If he does that, he's going to win a lot of games."
The Twins added two insurance runs in a wild seventh inning that saw Gardenhire ejected for arguing with third-base umpire Alfonso Marquez.
Gardenhire went out to argue that Oswaldo Arcia beat reliever Joe Ortiz's throw to third base on a sacrifice bunt attempt from Eduardo Escobar, but Marquez ruled Arcia out. After Gardenhire was ejected, Jamey Carroll and Brian Dozier both provided RBI singles to pad Minnesota's lead.
Casey Fien finished off the game for the Twins with a scoreless ninth, as the Twins did not want Correia to go out for the ninth with 102 pitches. But Gardenhire lightheartedly said he told Correia he would have kept him in for the ninth had Gardenhire not already been ejected from the game.
"I told Kevin when he came in the clubhouse: If I were still managing, he would have stayed in the game -- just to appease him," Gardenhire said with a smile.
With the win, the Twins climbed back above .500 at 11-10 and earned a series split with the Rangers, who lost back-to-back games for the first time this year. The Twins also held the Rangers to just eight runs in the four-game series, and the Twins' two losses came by one run each.
"We've been playing good baseball," Twins catcher Joe Mauer said. "Even the games we've lost, we've been right there losing a couple one-run games. Guys are fighting, and we're getting good pitching performances, so we'll try to keep doing that."

Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons are created in the brain. A common myth is that adults are losing some number of neurons every second and that there is nothing we can do about it because the brain cannot create new neurons. While it's true that most neurogenesis happens in childhood and adolescence, adults do continue to make new neurons throughout life.
Much of this adult neurogenesis occurs in the hippocampus which is the key area for learning and memory. Because of this, the hippocampus experiences very little age related shrinkage as compared to other parts of brain.
It's useful to note that stress can inhibit neurogenesis and physical exercise can improve the brain's ability to create new neurons.

More than 60 years later, Yano comes to America to honor the legacy of his heroic father by recovering the sword he used in the battle. His search has led him to Crazy Horse, Idaho, where Bob Lee, ex-marine and Vietnam veteran, has settled into a restless retirement and immediately pledges himself to Yano's quest.
Bob Lee finds the sword and delivers it to Yano in Tokyo. On inspection, they discover that it is not a standard WWII blade, but a legendary shin-shinto katana, an artifact of the nation. It is priceless but worth killing for. Suddenly Bob is at the center of a series of terrible crimes he barely understands but vows to avenge. And to do so, he throws himself into the world of the samurai, Tokyo's dark, criminal yakuza underworld, and the unwritten rules of Japanese culture.
Swagger's allies, hard-as-nails, American-born Susan Okada and the brave, cocaine-dealing tabloid journalist Nick Yamamoto, help him move through this strange, glittering, and ominous world from the shady bosses of the seamy Kabukicho district to officials in the highest echelons of the Japanese government, but in the end, he is on his own and will succeed only if he can learn that to survive samurai, you must become samurai.
As the plot races and the violence escalates, it becomes clear that a ruthless conspiracy is in place, and the only thing that can be taken for granted is that money, power, and sex can drive men of all nationalities to gruesome extremes. If Swagger hopes to stop them, he must be willing not only to die but also to kill.
Catch all of our Swagger titles.

"Sharp action, but not very many bullets"
An aging Bob takes up the sword, and becomes a master swordsman...? It's actually pretty good, and well narrated... but it was strange listening to a story of BLS in which he isn't peering through a scope for paragraphs at a time. The action was good, and a rather detailed account of swords and their history in Japan is given (I can't vouch for accuracy). Enjoyable.
"Story of a commitment to honor."
I read some the less favorable reviews regarding this book. While I understand why their ratings were low, I found this book parallels the Japanese code of honor and political/criminal underworld.
The samurai element was something I related to and enjoyed.
Excellent job Mr. Hunter and Schriner.
"Great work could not put down"
great detail in well stated fashion, quality work enjoyed the suspense,action storyline and Narrator kept pace and interest will recomend to all
I have been an avid audible listener foot quite some time.it has helped me stay sharp and entertained as well.
"Good book , just not a great book!"
This was a good read. It started off a bit slow ; but, got going at a good clip about the half way point. The narrator was a bit on the Dry side and tended to make me sleepy. He more then anything is why I couldn't give it more stars.
"Slow Development with Powerhouse Ending"
I did not know this was a series book until I was listening to the author's note at the end of the book. I am glad I did not know because (with a few exceptions) I have tried to stay away from 'series' books. The reader on this book matched the main character very nicely throughout the story. The story developed quite slowly. Early on I was ready to put the book down and move on but thought I'd stay with it and see what happened. I am glad I did.
I cannot put my finger on any one point (still, it was w/n the first couple of hours) and say this is where the story started getting good or where exactly it pulled me in; however, it did. The story was organized and told well. It was exciting. The author had a nice mix of 'going back in time' and blending the back in time perspective into the story with the present. He did it well and it enhanced the story completely.
Overall, the book pulled me in slowly and completely and in the final portion I simply stopped what I was doing sat down and listened to the end of the book. I was glad that I did not follow my initial inclination to put this one down. It was well told and kept me hooked to the end.
Likely, I will look at this author's other books.
"Kendo Action"
The raid to rescue the girl was very well done.
I got a tear at the very end.
I don't usually listen to action stories. If I had known this was one I wouldn't have gotten it. BUT, that said, I found I really enjoyed the book. I liked the information on kendo and I loved the ending.
Well worth the listen especially if you're at all interested in Japanese culture and the Samurai (pronounced Sa-mu-rai and not Sam-u-rai). The narrator does a fine job but should've gotten a bit more coaching on Japanese pronunciation. If you speak Nihongo, the reading could be a bit annoying at times. Even at that, you won't be disappointed.
"Good book. lot intense sex stuff"
good story, but there is a lot of intense sexual content, if that is of concern to you, best to avoid; not one of Hunter's best books
I have enjoyed listening to this book, but it gets excessively detailed in irrelevant side stories.<br/>The references in Mr. Hunt's books and obsessions with sex are getting to be excessive as well. I have greatly enjoyed his books starting with Point of Impact, but the latest ones are getting too far off-track. They may be my last. I will finish Soft Target and reassess. Stick to what works and stop giving in to trends.

Topic: I love life
I just had to share that. I went for a walk today in the forrest and picked so many wildflowers that are all over Sweden right now. The smell was fantastic. I wonder if I hadnt ever heard of cc would I love life as much? I am so happy right now and as I walked I thought of some lines from a Jimmy Buffett song that go "Some of its magic, some of its tragic but I had a good life all they way".
Just thought i would share my wonderfully cheesy day and how blessed I feel right now.
I am keeping us all in my prayers.

"The perfect, must-have gift for all Bulldog fans" – from repeated customer testimonials
"1980 Dawgs" is an extraordinary new documentary film produced in a 2-DVD Collectors Edition set. The most accurate and in-depth project ever produced on that special season. Current, often emotional, interviews with 27 players, coaches and others involved. 22 separate chapters include the inside stories and game footage highlights of each game, some with Larry Munson's best calls. And, special segments on important Bulldog history such as The Railroad Tracks (which includes old live film footage), Coach Erk Russell, a Larry Munson Tribute and more. continued below
Several stories have never been heard before by Bulldog fans. It was important to capture this history while the players and coaches were still young enough to remember, but old enough to be very candid.
Also, the game film was obtained from the University of Georgia. In those days, most games were not shown on Television. Game footage for the film had to be pieced together from various archives.
Herschel Walker, Scott Woerner, Buck Belue, Lindsay Scott, Rex Robinson, Eddie "Meat Cleaver" Weaver, Erk Russell, Vince Dooley, Frank Ros, Freddie Gilbert, Amp Arnold, and Jimmy Payne were just some of the heroes that brought Georgia it's only National Championship Title in the modern era. Learn how a team with modest preseason rankings became Georgia football royalty.
The film is having a unique affect on fans. It takes them through a range of emotions, sometimes unexpected – heartwarming, funny, sad, powerful and at times, inspiring. The story is still incredibly relevant today.
"1980 Dawgs will become a treasured keepsake for Bulldog Fans" It's receiving great reviews in the News and consistently positive testimonials from those who've ordered it. (See the "Testimonials" and "News & Events" tabs).

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/12/2010 (2449 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Founded in 2005, Birthday Buddies ensure kids living with their mothers in second-stage housing have a special celebration on their birthday. Women living in these apartments are escaping abusive relationships.
Birthday Buddies represents a bright spot in the lives of many children in this often-difficult situation by providing a backpack full of age-appropriate toys and toiletries, ranging from bubble bath and lip gloss to razor blades and deodorant, a book and, if they're eight years old or older, a writing journal and pens.
Now in its sixth year, Birthday Buddies has delivered specialized backpacks to more than 500 children, but the non-profit volunteer organization needs help to cover its expenses. Each backpack costs about $100.
"I wanted to help disadvantaged kids on their birthdays," said Jennifer Fast, founder of Birthday Buddies.
Fast truly is a one-person show. She does all the buying and deliveries, stores everything in her house, runs her own website (birthdaybuddies.ca) and issues tax receipts.
There is no government funding for endeavours like Birthday Buddies, so Fast knocks on the doors of family, friends and schools.
One group recently held a toy drive for her, but Fast finds she can do even more with cash and a little strategic buying.
"If somebody donates 10 Barbie dolls, some of them will sit on my shelf until I have a girl age four to nine who's having a birthday. If I get a run on boys, those Barbies will sit on my shelf a little longer. If I get cash, I can be a pretty frugal shopper. I buy after Christmas and Valentine's Day so I can stretch my dollar," she said.
Sometimes, however, it truly is the thought that counts. "I've always said, if you have a 12-year-old daughter who wants to donate something that's really meaningful to her to Birthday Buddies, that's what she should do," Fast said.
Fast accepts cash and toys dropped off or mailed to her house at 206 Waverley St. in River Heights and her website is set up to accept Paypal and credit card payments, too.
Donations don't just come from adults, either. Fast said Birthday Buddies frequently gets a hand from philanthropic children who happily turn over their birthday money rather than accept gifts themselves.

I'm sure a lot of you guys are back off the ledges, and some are still not convinced, and there should be much confusion still about your favorite team.
But I find this little stretch kind of fascinating, not so much because of Tortorella's benchings and such, but because of his declaration that Glen Sather is aboard with the idea of no "entitlement" based on contract or experience for the veteran players, and much more grace for the young kids.
I find it interesting (and hard to believe) that Sather and his boss are OK with their $6.5 million defenseman not playing, and their $7.05 million captain centering the fourth line and killing penalties. Because that can't be a good reflection on the guy who, you know, signed them to those contracts.
I find it interesting (and somewhat confusing) that they are going to live with the young guys' mistakes, and yet Matt Gilroy, Bobby Sanguinetti and Ilkka Heikkinen are on and off the Hartford shuttle.
And I certainly don't think Tortorella himself deserves anything close to straight A's for his part this season, but if he's true to his "entitlement" speech, than I'll be very impressed.
Performance-wise, the two straight wins were hardly convincing, coming as they did against two lousy, struggling teams; the second one stolen by Henrik Lundqvist (who, Tortorella said after Saturday's game, will start the last two games before Christmas break; the sked gets crazy starting Dec. 30, and he will need days off).
But wins are wins, and the Rangers have a bunch of win-able games coming up still.
Here's a big trivia question for my Festivus friends: What is the actual date of the Festivus holiday (invented by the prolific Frank Costanza)?
The first to answer correctly gets a hardy shout-out. No cheating.

EASTPOINTE, Mich. - It happened in broad daylight.
A 13-year-old girl walking home from Kelly Middle School on Monday was abducted.
According to police, the teen was in front of the Papa Johns at 9 mile and Kelly roads just before 4 p.m. That's when a man grabbed her, covered her mouth and threw her into the backseat of his 4-door grey car. The suspect locked the doors so the girl could not escape.
Police tell Local 4 they don't know how long the man, in his late 20s, was driving
According to the police report the suspect slowed down enough at Cushing and Stephens Streets for the 13-year-old to make her escape by unlocking the door and jumping out.
After running for several blocks, she ended up on the front lawn of Justin Vang and Elizabeth Thao.
"All we saw was a young girl running up to my husband and we ran out and we asked her what was wrong and she just kept crying. She was screaming," said Thao. "She was panicking. She was terrified."
The complete strangers immediately jumped in to action and helped.
--"I saw a tear in her eye," said Justin Vang
"I saw her hands shaking and I saw a tear in her eye," said Justin Vang. "I told my brothers and sisters to take her inside and I'll go call the cops."
Vang's family waited with the girl in their home and made her feel comfortable until police arrived.
Elizabeth Thao added, "The good thing is she was wearing her school badge so we were able to get her name and call her mom."
The girl is okay, but the man who abducted her is still on the run.
Police will be putting out extra patrols in the area of 9 Mile and Kelly after school hours to keep an eye out for the man wanted in this case.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/8/2013 (1458 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Grain farmer Curtis McRae and his family dodged a bullet Tuesday night.
For a while in the early evening, it looked like their family farm near St. Andrews might be in the path of a severe thunderstorm that tore through parts of southeastern Manitoba, pounding areas like the Rural Municipality of Reynolds with hail, high winds and heavy rain.
"That storm scared the hell out of us," McRae said Wednesday, noting it would have severely damaged their ripe and nearly ripe cereal crops.
Luckily, it missed their farm. So on Wednesday, McRae and his brother were heading back into the fields to resume their harvesting, which only got underway Tuesday.
Due to an unusually long winter which delayed spring seeding, and an unseasonably cool summer which slowed crop growth, the McRae family and most other Manitoba grain farmers are two to three weeks behind with this year's harvest.
'We are a couple of weeks behind, but sometimes Mother Nature makes up for it'-- Manitoba Pulse Growers Association spokesman Albert Turski
"Last year on the first day of August we were combining," McRae said.
And that has some, including him and Keystone Agricultural Producers president Doug Chorney, hoping for a lot more warm, sunny weather for much of the next four or five weeks. The last thing they need is any more severe storms or, heaven forbid, a killer frost.
If they get their wish, this could be another good year for many Manitoba grain farmers. In its latest principal field crops report released Wednesday, Statistics Canada said Manitoba farmers are expecting to harvest record amounts of soybeans and corn this fall. They also expect to harvest more spring wheat, canola and barley than in 2012, which was also a good year for grain production in Manitoba.
But as always, those predictions are contingent upon them getting good weather for the remainder of August and most of September. If they don't, all bets are off.
Chorney said later-maturing crops like soybeans and corn are especially vulnerable. With the delayed growing season, many of those crops won't be ready to harvest until early October.
"Most crops are shockingly late, those near the Saskatchewan border especially," he said, adding he's even heard reports of some canola crops that are still in the flowering stage. "And that's not typical at all."
' ... My own canola looks better than it's been for 10 years'-- Keystone Agricultural Producers president Doug Chorney
Chorney said soybeans make up about a third of his crops this year, which could be great because soybean prices have been holding up better than prices for a lot of other crops this year.
"And my own canola looks better than it's been for 10 years."
"But I don't want to see any frost before Oct. 1," the KAP president said. "It could be a real disaster if we get a bad frost before then."
A spokesman for the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association agreed an early frost, particularly a heavy one, would be big trouble for most soybean producers because with most crops, the pods are just starting to fill with beans.
"So if we get a frost in the next week, there will be nothing. Zero," Albert Turski said.
But Turski doesn't think that's going to happen, so he's not hitting the panic button.
"We are a couple of weeks behind, but sometimes Mother Nature makes up for it," he said.
McRae said his family planted mostly canola and wheat this year, with only a small amount of soybeans, corn and barley. Although grain prices are down from last year's heady highs, they're still at or slightly above average in many cases. So if they get another month of favourable weather, they should be in good shape.
Statistics Canada said a survey of 1,760 Manitoba farmers between July 24 and Aug. 5 showed local producers expect to harvest a record 928,000 tonnes of soybeans and 919,500 tonnes of corn for grain this year. That would easily top last year's record of 759,300 tonnes of soybeans and 815,400 tonnes of corn.
Nationally, it said Canadian farmers expect to harvest a record amount of canola and corn, as well as more wheat, barley and oats.
Heaping harvest anticipated this fall

Yes, I'm as disgusted by this idea as you are. But it's been raised again, this time by Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post. Renck writes:
"Opposing executives expect the Rockies to be aggressive in their pursuit of the Mets' David Wright. The Mets have said he's not available, but that could change if they commit to re-sign free- agent shortstop Jose Reyes for big money. Wright, however, is not without his issues. Though just 28, he has dealt with a back injury that limited him to only 102 games last season. Wright is owed $15 million next year with a $16 million club option for 2013 that can be voided if the Mets trade him. Hitting anywhere but Citi Field would likely boost Wright's numbers."
Look, Wright is obviously a good fit with the Rockies- like Jose Reyes, he's a good fit pretty much anywhere, since he's one of the best players at his position. Still, that doesn't mean it won't make sense to trade him, given certain other realities. Here are some things that are worth keeping in mind:
"Should the Mets trade David Wright?" is not a binary question. I cannot stress this first point enough. Trade him or don't trade him has everything to do with what the Mets can get for him in return, and what the overall plan for the roster is. I would actually argue the opposite of what Renck does- that it is precisely if the Mets don't sign Jose Reyes that the prospect of dealing Wright starts to make more sense.
(And let's not pretend this wasn't all avoidable, by the way. It only makes sense not to keep your developed superstars in their 20s if you are suffering from the kind of financial problems that the Mets are.)
But if Reyes and his 5.8 WAR (wins above replacement) sign elsewhere, here's a list of the other possible returning 2011 Mets among offensive players, ranked by WAR: Daniel Murphy (1.9), Ruben Tejada (1.6), David Wright (1.4), Ike Davis (1.3), Lucas Duda (0.8), Jason Bay (0.6), Nick Evans (0.6), Jason Pridie (0.6), Josh Thole (0.5), Justin Turner (0.3), Scott Hairston (0.2), Angel Pagan (0.2).
Leave aside the fact that Nick Evans was worth as much in 194 plate appearances as Jason Bay was in 509 plate appearances for a moment. What do we see there? Well, for one thing, the most valuable 2011 everyday Met other than Reyes (and the dearly departed Carlos Beltran, at 3.4 in just over half a season) was Daniel Murphy, who would slot in well at third base. He appears to play the position well, his bat is quite valuable at the position, and he's still a low-cost alternative.
But the more significant takeaway is how little the Mets have in terms of offensive talent at this point should Reyes leave. they don't have a catcher with more than half a win. Jason Pridie was their most valuable center fielder, and was still short of a win.
So the question starts to change. It isn't whether the two years that remain on David Wright's contract with the Mets are valuable. It is whether the Mets are in any position to take advantage of that value. The argument against dealing him has always been that due to a clause in his contract, if he is traded, his 2013 option held by the Mets is voided. Simply, he's got two years left with the Mets- but any other team gets him, and they control him for only one year. So he has more inherent value to the Mets, right?
Well, no. Not if the Mets are planning for 2014, and another team sees Wright as a strong fit in 2012.
Mike Silva, over at New York Baseball Digest, floats a trade idea with Colorado:
"There are three players I would target from the Rockies if I were Sandy Alderson: centerfielder Dexter Fowler, catcher Wilin Rosario, and one of their top pitching prospects from the group LHP Tyler Matzek, RHP Chad Bettis, and LHP Drew Pomeranz."
Fowler's defensive metrics aren't great, but I'd be reluctant to read too much into them- and entering his age 26 season, I like his bat to get even better. I don't love Rosario's 2011 offensive regression, but he can handle the position defensively, while catchers often develop later offensively. Most important would be the pitcher- Pomeranz is ready to sit atop the 2012 New York rotation now.
But let's just remember here: this is not part of some great master plan. This is a Plan B, necessary because the Plan A anyone rational would choose: keep your 28-year-old star players at hard to fill positions and build around them- has become untenable financially.

A community group's hopes of buying Otley's former cattle market site have been dealt a blow.
Residents applied in April to have the riverside land at Bridge End classified as an Asset of Community Value.
If successful, that would have granted them six months, under the Community Right to Bid scheme, to raise funds and submit an offer ahead of any commercial bid.
But Leeds City Council has concluded that the long derelict site - though used for the Six Dales Trail, Otley Show and Otley Carnival - does not qualify as it doesn't currently further "the social interests or wellbeing of the local community."
Councillor Colin Campbell (Lib Dem, Otley & Yeadon) said: "I am disappointed that Leeds have not listed the site as one of community value.
"My ward colleagues and I supported the proposal to designate it as such because we feel this open area does provide views up the valley and could become an integral part of Otley's riverside.
"I appreciate that a local group have put forward proposals to buy the land and develop it for community use, and I would hope they will continue with the proposal and help clear up this eyesore."
Councillor Sandy Lay (Lib Dem, Otley & Yeadon) added that he hoped the decision would not deter residents from pushing ahead with their attempt to buy the land and return it to nature.
He said: "In the end it doesn't really matter whether the 'community right to bid' is in place or not, as I don't see a mad dash of developers wanting to buy the land.
"If the community really wants it and the money is found then there is no reason why this can't still happen."
Otley Town Council had supported the Community Right to Bid attempt too.
The 3.4 acre site, which is on a flood plain and been the subject of unsuccessful housing and parking proposals, was put up for sale earlier this year.
It lies within Otley Conservation Area and has been unused since the former cattle market closed in 2000.
The land's condition, with old concrete hardstanding from the market still in place, was a source of dispute between landowners Parkmount Estates and Conserve Otley Riverside Campaign (CORC), along with the city council, for several years.
CORC had pushed, with backing from Leeds, for the site to be restored to its original green field state - a goal now being pursued by the community group hoping to buy it.

Grammys Fashion: The Good, The Glam, and the Circus Freak
Rihanna rules the red carpet (and the stage), JLo gives good leg, Katy Perry delivers her boobs and other special fashion moments of the 2013 Grammy Awards.
-April Daniels Hussar
Critiquing the Grammys red carpet is a tricky business because it's the GRAMMYS, not the Oscars for Gawd's sake, so pushing the proverbial style envelope is a good thing. I'm all for personality and edginess at this awards show, and it's fun that it always turns into such a mish-mash of styles and looks. Last night in particular was very circusy (despite no Lady GaGa!), complete with pretty dancing girls, a ringmaster, and, of course, John Mayer…
Don't forget to check out our favorite memorable moments from the show while you're at it!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/5/2013 (1567 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Travellers at the James Richardson International Airport were not allowed to go through the passenger security screening area for a short period of time this morning.
A security breach occurred which was investigated by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA), which is responsible for passenger screening at the airport. The passenger security area was closed for about 30 minutes while the investigation was conducted, but operations returned to normal shortly afterward.
CATSA spokesman Mathieu Larocque said a passenger at the screening point had one of his bags flagged for extra screening and left the screening area before the search was completed. Operations were halted until the passenger was located and brought back to the screening area so the search could be completed.
There were no threats on the bag and both the bag and the passenger were cleared through security.
Christine Payne, the WAA director of communications and public affairs, confirmed a security breach had occurred.
"Whenever there is a security breach that CATSA is investigating, they do shut down central screening while they are undertaking that review and they won't screen any passengers as they are working through their protocols," she said.
"Passenger screening was shut down while they looked at their security videos and those sorts of things. We returned to normal operations after they did their formal process."

|Setting the Scene
Part 3: "I don't mind doing three or four kinds of dishes in the same meal, as long as I know in advance," she explains.
Written and Photographed by Kim Kavin - October 2003
Surprisingly (and to her great loss), little Desdemona never once begged for food as we dined on the aft deck. It's the boat's only eating area, but the distinctive meals we were served made it seem like a new experience each time we sat down.
There is no permanent chef aboard Lady Elizabeth, but Nesbitt says he intends to stick with two freelancers he knows well: Ross Miller, who dives for fresh lobsters to share with guests, and Nicole Gemereux, who was aboard with us. The Quebec native trained at the Art Culinaire of St. Adele, specializing in French and Italian cuisine, but her repertoire is quite varied. From a light, zesty lunch of chicken salad and piña colada dressing served in a hollowed pineapple, to a nicely portioned dinner of succulent pork tenderloin stuffed with apples and Italian sausage, to a decadent dessert of apple crepes with a creamy sauce of Kahlua, Bailey's, and cinnamon, Gemereux never failed to please. She says she relies heavily on preference sheets and welcomes guests on special diets. "I don't mind doing three or four kinds of dishes in the same meal, as long as I know in advance," she explains. "Challenge makes you stronger."
Most of our meals were served in port, where we were treated to views of the sun setting over fishing fleets in Montauk and of the re-created old town in Mystic Seaport. The week before our visit, Nesbitt had to pull up the boarding ladder in Mystic because tourists thought Lady Elizabeth was part of the historic exhibits.
The boat is scheduled to spend this winter in the Bahamas, where Nesbitt and Smith have cruised almost all of their careers and where access to the water is key. Unfortunately, the same high gunwales that will keep kids aboard make water access a bit tricky, as does the steep ladder to Lady Elizabeth's narrow swim platform, but many guests should be able to step off the side boarding areas onto the Dusky's bow for fun in the sun.
Enterprising guests will also want to make the climb up to the boat deck to take advantage of the view. Our group used it as our perch that night in the Hamptons, enjoying a bottle of Merlot and watching the crowds get rowdy during the fireworks. We were close enough to hear music drifting across from the bandstand: "The Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the Frog during the colorful blasts, "Moondance" by Van Morrison during the white streakers, and "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong as the finale approached.
We ooohed and aaaahed at the torched night sky and were particularly impressed with the launches that exploded in the shapes of smiley faces. The grins were a good 30 feet across if they were a foot.
Almost as wide as our own, thanks to the best show in town.
Lady Elizabeth is available for charter in New England and the Bahamas at a weekly rate of $15,500, plus expenses.

Kentucky girl sets national 3-point record
Posted January 19, 2013
On January 14, Becca Greenwell of Owensboro (Kentucky) Catholic High School set a national record when she made 17 three-point field goals in the Aces' girls basketball victory over Whitesville (Kentucky) Trinity High School.
In the process, Greenwell scored a school-record 51 points. Interestingly, all of her points came from her three-point field goals.
According to the National Federation of State High School Associations' online multimedia National High School Sports Record Book, the former record of 15 three-point field goals in a game was held by five individuals.
Greenwell, who is a 6-foot-1 senior guard and has committed to Duke (North Carolina) University, made her first six three-point attempts, was 10-for-12 at halftime and 17-for-27 for the game. Despite missing her entire junior season with an injury, Greenwell has scored 2,997 career points.
