Hello Mamy
Welcome to TE, and I hope we'll see many more of your photographs. This is a very promising start, showing an interesting everyday street scene in a straightforward, documentary style, ideally suited to TE. However there is room for improvement technically, and I hope you don't mind my doing a little Workshop to show you what I mean. It's mostly about framing and colour balance/exposure.

Students Making Lasting Friendships on Service Trip: Photogallery
Rather than spending their spring break sunning on the beach or vacationing at home, 28 students and other members of the Trinity community spent a week on the Spring Break service trip, working on homes and caring for the people of Frakes, Kentucky.
Josh Hauck '15 of Dixon, Illinois, said that as a college student he may not have a lot of money to give, but he does have time to give. He said he also gains something from volunteering. "The great thing about service trips is that they not only benefit the people we go to serve, but they also provide a phenomenal time of fellowship with the group and personal spiritual growth."
The students spent each morning in communal devotions before breaking into smaller groups to work on various projects and fellowship with residents. The team would then reassemble for dinner, free time, discussion, and worship. Students also shared their testimonies and prayed together.
Throughout the experience, students were able to form relationships with the people they served. Hayley Johnson '15 of Oak Forest, Illinois, acted as a team leader. She reached out to Stacy, a woman whose home the students helped clean. "I realized that I needed to share Scripture and talk with her to see where her heart was," Johnson said. "She began to tell me all these things about how broken she was and personal things she had been dealing with."
"When we would talk to the woman whose house we painted, we could tell that she appreciated it," said Rebecca Garcia '14 of Schererville, Indiana. "When we opened up to her, she cried. We even gave her a large print Bible because she could not read her old one. She really appreciated us and told us that she loves us."
The students also enjoyed the relationships they formed with one another. "One of my favorite parts of the trip was the close and intentional fellowship," said Johnson, who plans to room next year with a student she met on the trip. "I really loved how we could all come together for the same purpose: serving others."
"There were 28 of us total on this trip, and I feel like I made 27 new friends," Hauck said. "The Holy Spirit was totally present in all of our interactions. Working as one body was so amazing. We all had different skills, and they all fit together like a beautiful puzzle."
Overall, the trip was a memorable one, leaving many students hungry for more. "Through the experience, I learned that serving is more than just acts. It is giving of yourself, showing your heart to people, and spreading God's love," Garcia said. "The trip really inspired me to go on more service trips. I would love to do this again and also to further some of the connections I made on the trip."

Drinking Right
Good thing Scott Feldstein reads MKE because I would have missed this article about Drinking Right and Drinking Liberally. Scanning through the story, I see nothing about me so everyone can just skip it.
Instead, if you aren't lucky enough to have an invite to a victory party tuesday (or if your victory party doesn't live up to its billing), the next session of Drinking Right will be 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12, at Papa's Social Club, 7718 W. Burleigh St.
(Yes, it's on the other side of 124th street, but you'll be safe. Mayor Tom Barrett said there is no crisis. Really.)

Scope and shop artisan wares at the Rockport Art Festival
Just a 45-minute trek north of Corpus Christi on the coast, Rockport has been a fishing town and coastal hideaway since the 1800s. Plan to visit July 6-7 during the 44th annual Rockport Art Festival, when more than 120 visiting artists and craftsmen from across the state will showcase and sell their work.
Visitors — more than 10,000 attended last year — will find paintings, ceramics, jewelry, woodwork, furniture, metal sculptures, plus food, drinks and entertainment. Children can create their own art or shop for items under $5 in the children's activity tent, or watch performances by "singing zoologist" Lucas Miller and entertainer Bill Oliver.
The festival will be hosted on the fairgrounds adjacent to the Rockport Center for the Arts and Rockport Harbor, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Tickets cost $7 for adults on Saturday and $6 on Sunday; children 12 and under can enter for $1. Two-day tickets cost $10.

Run with the burros in Leadville
Known as a historic, 1880s mining camp — and for multiple races, including the ultra-marathon Leadville Trail 100 — this heart-of-the-Rockies town also boasts Leadville Boom Days. It's a three-day festival and Old West party with gunslingers, burro races, Old West re-enactors, a street fair with food and crafts booths and mining skill contests.
This year's Boom Days is Aug. 2-4, kicking off with a mini parade and Motorcycle Rodeo. Aug. 3 means a pancake breakfast, the bigger Boom Days Parade, the Vonnie's Voice 5K walk and run, and a car show. Aug. 4 marks the 65th annual Leadville Burro Race, a popular 21-mile race in which runners lead donkeys via rope to the finish line. It's a nod to the state's early mining days when miners loaded supplies on donkeys and searched for prospective spots to mine.
Trekking with a donkey not your thing? Spectators can join a costume contest — first place goes to the couple dressed the most authentically in 1880s garb — and a pie-eating contest. Get the full schedule online.

The case for inclusive green growth
Over the last 20 years, economic growth has helped to lift almost a billion people out of extreme poverty. But 1 billion people are still extremely poor. 1.1 billion live without electricity and 2.5 billion people without access to sanitation. For them, growth has not been inclusive enough.
In addition, growth has come at the expense of the environment. While environmental degradation affects everyone, the poor are more vulnerable to violent weather, floods, and a changing climate.
Development experts, policymakers, and institutions like the World Bank have learned a major lesson: If we want to succeed in ending poverty, growth needs to be inclusive and sustainable.

A man walking near a La Mesa park Tuesday was held up at gunpoint for his iPod.
A 23-year-old man called police around 9:30 p.m. saying he had been mugged near Highwood Park on Junior High Drive.
The victim described the thief as an African American about 16-17 years old, thin build with an afro wearing jeans and a red and black hoodie with numbers on the front.
The suspect showed a large caliber semi-automatic handgun, demanded the victim empty his pockets and then run from the area police said.
The iPod was the only thing stolen officers said.
Earlier Tuesday, a similar robbery was reported in Encinitas around 1:00 p.m. Tuesday in the parking lot of Ritz Colony Apartments on Encinitas Boulevard police said.

"ARBITRAGE" -- Greed is good, until it isn't anymore, in this guilty-pleasure thriller for these tough economic times. In directing his first feature, writer and documentarian Nicholas Jarecki shows great command of tone -- a balance of sex, danger and manipulation with some insiderish business talk and a healthy sprinkling of dark humor to break up the tension. His film is well-cast and strongly acted, and while it couldn't be more relevant, it also recalls the decadence of 1980s Wall Street, shot in 35mm as it is, with a synth-heavy score. "Arbitrage" is a lurid look at a lavish lifestyle that allows us to red by a bank. And despite the loyalty and support of his smart, beautiful wife (Susan Sarandon), he has a hot (and hot-headed) French mistress on the side (former Victoria's Secret model Laetitia Casta) who runs in stylish, hard-partying art circles. Both these schemes explode in his face over the course of a few fateful days. Tim Roth, Brit Marling and Nate Parker co-star. R. 1 hour, 40 minutes. 3 stars
"THE BOURNE LEGACY" -- This fourth film in the Bourne franchise may seem heady and intentionally disorienting and hard to follow at first -- until you realize it's really about drug addiction, and the lengths to which a junkie will go to get his fix. Think of it as "Drugstore Cowboy" with an international scope and more explosions. That may help as you compare it with the first three films in the series that starred Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, the amnesiac CIA assassin of Robert Ludlum's novels. Comparison is inevitable, especially given that a new leading man, Jeremy Renner, now plays the highly trained bad ass at the center of the film's intrigue. But it feels like Tony Gilroy is trying to do something different here, something more cerebral and potentially less crowd-pleasing. Gilroy, who wrote or co-wrote the previous three films ("The Bourne Identity," "The Bourne Supremacy" and "The Bourne Ultimatum"), takes over directing duties as well this time, and it seems as if he's more interested in offering a character study about desperation and confusion than a high-octane summer blockbuster. Not that "The Bourne Legacy" is free of thrills, it's just more grounded than spectacular. Renner stars as Aaron Cross, who's alone in the Alaskan wilds on a training exercise at the film's start. But he finds he's the target of a legitimate threat when the supersecret government spy program he's a part of hastily gets shut down. Turns out, Jason Bourne was not the only person who was given a whole new identity and transformed into a killing machine -- he was one of many, and the new models are even bigger-better-stronger-faster thanks to a combination of little blue and green pills. Rachel Weisz plays a research scientist at a pharmaceutical giant who becomes his reluctant partner on the run. PG-13. 2 hours, 15 minutes. 2.5 stars
"THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" -- The very highly anticipated conclusion of director Christopher Nolan's Batman film trilogy is an epic, fast-moving, long-running and action-packed slice of summer entertainment. Um, really, Chris, you could have pulled back a bit. Make no mistake about it, "The Dark Knight Rises" is a good movie; it simply has too many strong elements to be considered anything but. And yet, as hard as it is to knock someone for being too ambitious, it feels fair in this case. Biting off more than they -- than anyone -- could chew is the crime committed by Nolan and co-writers Jonathan Nolan (his brother) and David S. Goyer. Their story takes a long time to get from point A to point Z, but it doesn't feel like it. The movie's nearly three-hour running time goes by in a flash, and while it's weird to say this, that's not a good thing. Almost none of the movie's many, many scenes are allowed to breathe, each feeling as if it was cut down to the barest minimum to serve its purpose. On the other hand, a lot of stuff in "Rises" is really, really cool, and that's what matters most. The story place eight years after those of its predecessor, 2008's sublime "The Dark Knight." Batman is nowhere to be seen, and his alter ego, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), is a physical mental shell of his former self. But the time for hobbling and sulking is short. A new threat appears in the form of Bane (Tom Hardy), a physically imposing mercenary with a grand agenda for Gotham. Along with Bane, Bruce -- and soon enough Batman -- is dealing with the less threatening but still problematic cat burglar Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway). (If you're wondering, Selina is never referred to as Catwoman.) The large list of key players also includes newcomers Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate, the head of another corporation and a love interest for Bruce; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake, a beat cop. Returning are Michael Caine as Alfred the butler, Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon and Morgan Freeman as Lucious Fox, the head of Wayne Enterprises and the man who helps Batman get all those wonderful toys. The film's ending -- a source of much speculation-- is very satisfying, if not wholly original. Despite its flaws, "The Dark Knight Rises," with its constant action and epic quality, will please the bat masses. 2 hours, 45 minutes. 3 stars
"END OF WATCH" -- You've seen the buddy cop movie a million times before, especially the racially mismatched buddy cop movie. You've also seen the found-footage movie a million times before, beginning with the precedent-setting "Blair Witch Project" in 1999 and again in recent years following the success of the low-budget 2007 horror film "Paranormal Activity." ''End of Watch" combines these two approaches: It's a racially mismatched buddy cop movie in which the cops record their daily activities while on patrol, from mercilessly teasing each other in the squad car between calls to tracking bad guys through the dangerous streets and narrow alleyways of South Central Los Angeles. But admittedly, the found-footage aesthetic infuses the film with both intimacy and vibrancy; it creates the illusion that what we're watching is unscripted, and so we feel like we don't know what's going to happen from one moment to the next. And co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena have such tremendous chemistry with each other, they make you want to ride alongside them all day, despite the many perils in store. As they insistently goof on each other in often hilarious fashion, their banter reveals not just an obvious and believable brotherly bond but also the kind of gallows humor necessary to make the horrors of their profession tolerable. After responding to a series of seemingly random calls successfully, the partners find themselves the targets of a stereotypically vicious Mexican street gang, which may have even more dangerous ties south of the border. R. 1 hour, 48 minutes. 3 stars
"HOPE SPRINGS" -- Here's how surprisingly effective this movie is: It will make you want to go home and have sex with your spouse afterward. Or at least share a longer hug or a more passionate kiss. You don't have to be married for 31 years like the stuck-in-a-rut couple Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones play to feel inspired by the film's message about the importance of keeping your relationship alive. It sounds like a cliche because it is a cliche, and more: It's a cottage industry, one that's launched countless afternoon talk-show episodes and shelf after shelf of self-help books. And yet, despite television ads that look alternately wacky and mawkish and suggest pat, glossy superficiality, "Hope Springs" unearths some quiet and often uncomfortable truths. The first produced script from television writer and producer Vanessa Taylor ("Alias," "Game of Thrones") explores the complicated dynamics that develop over a long-term relationship with great honesty and little judgment. What looks like a standard rom-com turns into something akin to a contemporary Ingmar Bergman film. The performances from Streep and Jones go a long way toward elevating the rather straightforward direction from David Frankel, which includes some painfully literal musical selections and a few hokey comic situations. Their characters, Kay and Arnold, live a sexless life in a comfortable suburb of Omaha, Neb. When Kay finally decides she's sick of their complacent routine, she insists Arnold join her for a week of intensive couples therapy with a renowned psychologist (Steve Carell). In Maine. PG-13. 1 hour, 39 minutes. 3 stars
"LOOPER" -- Fans of time-travel movies know that much of the fun of the genre comes from obsessing over whether it all makes sense, both while you're watching it and in long, complicated conversations afterward. What's smart about "Looper" -- and what makes it more compelling than colder sci-fi -- is the way writer-director Rian Johnson establishes the machinery of the time-travel concept, then steadily pushes it into the background in favor of exploring his characters and the difficult questions they face. Johnson's feature debut, 2005's "Brick," signaled him as an ambitious filmmaker with a distinctive voice. Here, with his third film, he's expanded both his scope and his eye for vivid detail. He incorporates a variety of genres and influences, from dystopian, futuristic science fiction and dark comedy to parental drama and romance, with a Wild West shootout and even some "Terminator" thrown in. But he always stays true to his characters in his fully realized world. The year is 2044, and America has fallen into a state of stylish squalor. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, in his darkest role yet, plays Joe, a junkie and former criminal who makes ends meet in this depraved world by working as a "looper," a hired gun. Time travel hasn't been invented yet, but it will be 30 years further in the future. A powerful mob boss known as the Rainmaker sends his enemies back in time to have them obliterated with no loose ends. But sometimes, future versions of the loopers themselves show up on the spot; this is known as "closing your own loop," and it means getting a handsome payout and a set period of 30 more years to live it up. Trouble is, when Joe's future-self arrives in the form of Bruce Willis, he hesitates, then watches him run off. R. 1 hour, 59 minutes. 3.5 stars
"THE MASTER" -- Viewers hoping for a juicy expose of the supersecretive Church of Scientology might want to adjust their expectations just a tad. Writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson has acknowledged that the cult leader of the film's title -- played with great bluster and bravado by Philip Seymour Hoffman, one of his longtime players -- was inspired by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. And certain key phrases and ideas that are tenets of the church do show up in the film. And yet, the church -- or rather, "The Cause," as it's known here -- emerges relatively unscathed. Hoffman's Lancaster Dodd, whom his followers refer to as "Master," is commanding and calculating and sometimes even cruel, but the bond he forges with a wayward Joaquin Phoenix reveals his inquisitiveness, his generosity of spirit and a love that cannot be defined, teetering as it does between the paternal and the homoerotic. Meanwhile, Phoenix's character, the troubled, volatile and often inebriated Freddie Quell, seems at his happiest once he's safely ensconced within the group. But "The Master" isn't interested in anything so clear-cut as joy vs. misery. It's about the way people's lives intersect, if only briefly and perhaps without a satisfying sense of closure. Anderson, long a master himself of technique and tone, has created a startling, stunningly gorgeous film shot in lushly vibrant 65mm, with powerful performances all around and impeccable production design. But it's also his most ambitious film yet -- quite a feat following the sprawling "Magnolia" and the operatic "There Will Be Blood" -- in that it's more impressionistic and less adherent to a tidy three-act structure. R. 2 hours, 17 minutes. 3.5 stars
"PITCH PERFECT" -- Cheeky and snarky but with an infectious energy, this comedy set in the world of competing college a cappella groups makes us fall in love with the very thing it's making fun of. It's ridiculous and predictable but also just a ton of fun, so you may as well give up and give into your inner musical theater geek. The debut feature from director Jason Moore (Broadway's "Avenue Q") and writer Kay Cannon ("30 Rock"), based on the non-fiction book by Mickey Rapkin, feels like a mash-up of "Glee" and "Revenge of the Nerds," with a soundtrack ranging from David Guetta and Bruno Mars to The Bangles and Simple Minds. Some performances will make you smile; others will give you chills. And speaking of mash-ups, that's exactly the genre that forces the film's female singing group out of its comfort zone of conservative choreography and corny vocal arrangements. Their reluctant catalyst is Beca, an antisocial, aspiring DJ played by Anna Kendrick; this is an amusing irony in contrast with Kendrick's usually sunny, Type-A screen persona, and given her off-screen Broadway musical bona fides. Freshman Beca is part of a rag-tag class of recruits who join the Barden University Bellas, perky young women who dress like flight attendants, adhere to a rigid set of rules and have supersecret, sorority-style rituals. It's their goal to knock off the school's rival guy group and win the national championship. An outrageous Rebel Wilson, whose character nicknamed herself "Fat Amy," gets many of the film's best lines, while the wonderfully odd Hana Mae Lee steals her share of scenes in her own quiet way. PG-13. 1 hour, 52 minutes. 3.5 stars
"WON'T BACK DOWN" -- The focus of this save-our-school drama practically assures it will fail to join the ranks of great, or even good, education tales. The movie takes the story out of the classroom and into the halls of bureaucracy, leaving almost every kid behind to center on two plucky parents battling entrenched administrators and union leaders to turn around a failing school. So essentially, it's a school board meeting. Or school bored. Despite earnest performances from Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis as a pair of moms leading the fight, the movie lives down to its bland, us-against-them title with a simple-minded assault on the ills of public schools that lumbers along like a math class droning multiplication tables. Director and co-writer Daniel Barnz gets lost in the red tape of education politics as Gyllenhaal's Jamie and Davis' Nona take on the suits in a grass-roots move by parents and teachers to seize control of their kids' abysmal school. And it's the children who suffer here. Other than some token scenes involving Jamie and Nona's kids, the students are mere extras in a drama that spends most of its time prattling on about how the children are what matter most. The movie doesn't exactly practice what it teaches. PG. 2 hour, 1 minute. 2 stars
"THE WORDS" -- For a movie about writing, about the transporting nature of a compelling narrative, this is needlessly complicated. It boasts an impressive cast and some glimmers of strong performances, notably from a grizzled Jeremy Irons, whose character sets the film's many stories-within-stories in motion as a young man. And it kinda-sorta explores the notions of art, fraud and the need to sleep at night. But ultimately, "The Words" seems more interested in melodrama than anything else. The writing-directing team of Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal (who co-wrote the story for "Tron: Legacy" and are childhood friends of star Bradley Cooper) direct for the first time here. While they've come up with a clever nugget of a premise, they've couched it in a gimmicky package that keeps us at arm's length emotionally. "The Words" begins with celebrated writer Clay Hammond (Dennis Quaid) reading excerpts from his latest best-selling novel to an enraptured crowd. As Clay begins to read, the film flashes to the characters in the book and their story, which is probably where the film should have started all along. Cooper plays Rory Jansen, who also happens to be a celebrated writer appearing before an enraptured crowd. Rory is receiving a prestigious award for his debut novel, the one that made him an instant literary sensation. Trouble is, he didn't actually write it. PG-13. 1 hour, 37 minutes. 2 stars

"During his tenure, Brian led the association through its most recent strategic planning and was a catalyst for NAAEE's leadership in advocacy for the EE profession," writes the NAAEE president.
Dear Environmental Educator,
After five and a half years as executive director of NAAEE, Brian A. Day has decided to leave the association to take his career in a new direction. Linda Rhoads will serve as interim executive director while the NAAEE Board conducts its search for a new leader.
During his tenure, Brian led the association through its most recent strategic planning and was a catalyst for NAAEE's leadership in advocacy for the EE profession. Under Brian's tenure, NAAEE has cemented its relationship with the National Council for the Accreditation for Teacher Education to ensure that future teachers know how to incorporate environmental education across the curriculum. The Board is very appreciative of his service to the organization, both as executive director and previously as a Board member. He is assisting Linda Rhoads with the transition to ensure that all of NAAEE's projects proceed smoothly.
A former Executive Director for the EE Association of Oregon for more than seven years, Linda has been an active member and volunteer for NAAEE for at least a decade. Her leadership skills have been evident in her role as Advocacy Committee chair for two years, during which the number of participants in the EE Advocacy network grew by leaps and bounds. She also co-founded the Sustainability Education Commission. As an Affiliate director, she was active on the Affiliate Network Steering Committee. Linda also is a Guidelines facilitator and trainer.
Linda Rhoads can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Warm regards,
Diane Cantrell
NAAEE President 2010-2011
Brian Day is CEC National Activator for North America and the Caribbean.

Hessonite, a troubled fifth in the Grade 1 Flower Bowl Invitational on September 29, remains on target for a title defense run in the $175,000 Ticonderoga on October 20, New York Showcase Day, at Belmont Park.
The four-year-old daughter of Freud breezed six furlongs on the fast Belmont training track in 1:14 2/5 on Saturday in her first official workout since the Flower Bowl, in which she commenced an inside rally on the far turn, checked off heels and bounced off the hedge after Bizzy Caroline drifted inward.
"We're very fortunate after the trip she had that she did come back OK," trainer David Donk remarked. "So, she's trained quite well in the last couple of weeks."
In the Ticonderoga, a 1 1/16-mile turf race for New York-bred fillies and mares, Hessonite will be reunited with regular rider Ramon Dominguez, who opted to ride runner-up Zagora in the Flower Bowl.
"They're a good team," Donk said of Hessonite and Dominguez. "She came back after a pretty frustrating trip and it didn't take much out of her. She cooled out really easily after the race. We got lucky nothing happened to her when she checked so hard in there, but nothing happened so it looks like, knock on wood, everything's good."
Hessonite has won six stakes in her career, including three straight prior to the Flower Bowl.
Donk said he plans to also run Freedom Rings in the Ticonderoga. The Proud Citizen mare finished a distant second to Hessonite in the John Hettinger on September 9.
"I'm limited on the spots to run (Freedom Rings)," Donk explained. "I prefer to run her at a distance of 1 1/8 miles and farther and this is only 1 1/16 miles, but she will come back (in the Ticonderoga)."
In other New York Showcase Day news, trainer Tom Bush will be well-represented with a trio of stakes runners in addition to some planned undercard starters.
Leading Bush's stakes contingent is last-out Grade 3 Saranac winner Unbridled Command, who breezed five furlongs in 1:02 over the good inner turf at Belmont Park on Sunday in advance of the 1 1/16-mile, $175,000 Mohawk Stakes on the turf.
Unbridled Command, winner of his last three starts, was entered in the Grade 1 Jamaica Handicap on October 6 at Belmont Park, but Bush opted to scratch the three-year-old Master Command colt in favor of a start on Showcase Day.
"We thought we'd have to lay much closer in (the Jamaica) than what I think his best race is," Bush said. "When he ran in the Saranac, there was a lot of pace and he was able to get back and make that run. I think that's his best race, and it wasn't going to be that kind of race in the Jamaica.
"(The Mohawk) will be tough, too. I don't know if we can beat those older horses or not, but it is October. You're supposed to be able to compete against them if you're good enough, so we're going to find out."
Multiple stakes victress Beautiful But Blue will also square off against older fillies and mares in next Saturday's $150,000 Iroquois Stakes. The daughter of El Corredor returns to New York-bred company after a pair of third-place efforts in open stakes -- the Charles Town Oaks and Grade 1 Test. Prior to those starts she had beaten elder state-breds in the Spa's Fleet Indian and counts two of her five wins at the Iroquois seven-furlong distance.
"It's the same with Beautiful But Blue," Bush said. "You've got to run against the older ones sometime. Going long, she's probably got a little bit more speed, but going short, she's a good stalker. That's probably the kind of trip we'll have again in this race. I hope so."
On Sunday, Beautiful But Blue posted a 1:03 five-furlong breeze on the fast main track at Belmont.
Bush added that Wholelottashakin will go in the Ticonderoga off a fourth-place effort in the Given overnight stakes on September 20 at Belmont Park. The Scat Daddy miss was clocked in 1:01 3/5 for five furlongs over the turf on Sunday.
Trainer Juan "Manny" Coronel issued an upbeat bulletin Sunday morning as his filly Risky Rachel aims for her second straight win in the $150,000 Iroquois, a seven-furlong race for New York-bred fillies and mares on New York Showcase Day.
"She's coming out into this race perfect," said Coronel, who competed as a jockey in his native Argentina before coming to the United States. "We're very excited. No excuses. Everything is really, really good."
Risky Rachel won last year's Iroquois under the care of trainer H. James Bond, Coronel's former boss. Owner Sanford Bacon transferred Risky Rachel to Coronel when the Argentine set out on his own earlier this year, and the five-year-old daughter of Limehouse gave Coronel his first win as a trainer when she won the Broadway in March at Aqueduct.
After the Broadway, Risky Rachel made three starts at Belmont, winning the Putthepowdertoit overnight stakes, finishing last of seven when trying turf for the first time in the Mount Vernon, and reporting home second in the Chaldea overnight stakes. She enters the Iroquois off a second to Beautiful But Blue in the Fleet Indian and a 3 1/2-length triumph in the Union Avenue in August at Saratoga last out.
"We gave her a little break after her race in Saratoga," Coronel explained. "Perfect. She had three very tough races, one at Belmont and at Saratoga. I couldn't be more happy pointing for (the Iroquois). She's coming in a little fresh, but she loves to be fresh. She needs a little space (between races), and everything is really, really good. Seven furlongs, I don't mind. She's going to give a huge race."
Trainer Christophe Clement will have two representatives on New York Showcase Day with Miss Valentine heading to the Iroquois and Lubash looking for his third straight stakes victory of the year in the Mohawk.
"Lubash has been a pleasant surprise," Clement said of the Freud five-year-old who ran second in the Mohawk last season. "He's getting older, and sometimes they get better when they get older. He's been very consistent -- he races on soft, he races on firm, and that's nice, because this time of year anything can happen.
"We didn't have anything to run her in during September, so she will train up to New York Showcase Day," the horseman added of Miss Valentine, a four-year-old Afleet Alex filly who will be making her first start since finishing third to Beautiful But Blue and Risky Rachel in the Fleet Indian. "I thought in the past she wanted to go further, but in fact she's more like a come-from-behind, seven-furlong, miler. You have more pace going seven furlongs or a mile, and she needs a lot of pace to run at."

Radiohead: The King of Limbs
Radiohead has achieved something remarkable. By announcing the forthcoming release of The King Of Limbs on Monday and making it available only as a download on their website today, the band have bypassed falling CD sales and the dominance of iTunes to revive a dying phenomenon: the big album release.
To increase excitement, the band brought forward the release by 24 hours. An official statement claimed "with everything ready on their website, the band decided to bring forward the release by a day." Or perhaps this was all part of the plan, like making Christmas come early.
Radiohead has also adopted the methodology of capitalism's favourite trick: the promise of something better. To maximise your enjoyment, three options are available. There is the no frills…

Tests are used to screen for different types of cancer.
Some screening tests are used because they have been shown to be helpful both in finding cancers early and in decreasing the chance of dying from these cancers. Other tests are used because they have been shown to find cancer in some people; however, it has not been proven in clinical trials that use of these tests will decrease the risk of dying from cancer.
There is no standard or routine screening test for stomach cancer.
Providence Gastrointestinal Cancer Program at Providence Cancer Center is a team of health care professionals and researchers striving to provide and promote expert care to people who have cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. We focus our attention and resources on people with cancers of the upper (esophagus and stomach), middle (pancreas, liver, gall bladder, bile ducts and small intestine) and lower (colon, rectum and anus) gastrointestinal tract.

MIAMI - A secretive motel guest in the Florida Keys checked in under a fake name, paid in cash, stockpiled canned food and insisted on cleaning his own room. He even covered his car - all an attempt to elude police after he was accused of gunning down four relatives at Thanksgiving dinner, authorities said.
But Paul Merhige's cover was blown when the motel owners recognized him in a preview for the TV show "America's Most Wanted" on Saturday night.
Melinda Pfaff said Sunday that she and her husband, Paul, rarely saw Merhige during his four-week stay at their Edgewater Lodge on Long Key. He checked in Dec. 2, a few days after the shootings, using the name "John Baca" and a false address.
His request for privacy didn't seem odd on an island chain known for its eccentric residents, she said.
"He said he would wash all his own sheets and towels. He said I didn't need to go in there," she said. "That's happened before."

"Runs hot!"
I gave my dog a summer shave with this product. I had to use a potholder to hold the clippers about 15-20 minutes into the haircut. After that, I reviewed the packaging which states, "Light use: for trimming and touchups". The blade is great, comes with attachments, cuts very well and is a great price. However, do not purchase this if you want to do full grooming on your pets. I exchanged for Andis AGC2, which is more expensive. That packaging states "super duty" with additional detail, "ultra fast, quiet and cool running performance that pros demand".

ARARAT - The Ararat Advertiser's TopTippa competition is back again this year.
TopTippa is the footy tipping competition with a twist that gives you a shot at winning $1million by picking winners throughout the 2014 AFL season.
The twist is that you are rewarded points that are based on the actual odds of each match, so it pays to pick out an underdog every now and then.
The favourite teams are issued with lower points, the underdogs are issued with higher points and if you pick the draw then points issued are even higher.
It gives all those players languishing behind the leaders a fantastic opportunity to catch up by predicting which games could go against the favourites and it means the leaders are constantly looking over their shoulders.
Each week the highest tipper of the round or those tippers who pick the perfect round will be rewarded, while the overall winner of the The Ararat Advertiser's tipping competition will receive two invitations to the TopTippa AFL Grand Final Experience.
Ararat's local winner will be up against all other South Australian and Victorian TopTippa finalists. Finalists will play in a TopBetta tournament at the event where the winner of this tournament we get one shot at the $1 million jackpot, with a guaranteed minimum prize of $5,000.
The next ten runners up at the Topbetta AFL Grand Final tournament will have the chance to win $25,000, with a guaranteed minimum prize of $500.
Last year Peter Harris was in first position on The Ararat Advertiser's TopTippa footy tipping leader board with 221.09 points at the conclusion of the AFL home and away season and earned himself the opportunity of a lifetime.
While he didn't walk away a millionaire, Mr Harris got the opportunity to experience the highs and lows of the last Saturday in September first hand with son Matthew and collected $500 for his efforts.
To register you must be 18 years of age or older.

Principles of Biomedical Sciences
Throughout the year, the class worked on the case of a woman named Anna Garcia, who had many health issues leading to a mysterious death. The following is my case report after thoroughly analyzing the crime scene.
As we worked on crime scene analysis, we were challenged to design our own experiment about blood splatter analysis and carry it out.
The following is a compilation of the suspects and evidence of Anna Garcia's mysterious death, organized into one concept map linking the information together.
During the second unit of the class, we studied diabetes. This is a venn diagram comparing and contrasting Type I and Type II diabetes.
As we thoroughly studied diabetes, we were shown hypothetical patients and given their medical information, and we graphed their insulin and glucose levels to see if they were diabetic or borderline diabetic.
Anna Garcia was diabetic, and we took the food logs of her last two days alive and analyzed them online. We made a nutrition report of the food she was eating to see if diabetic complications could have played a part in her death.
My lab partner, Joseph, and I made a brochure that would be found at a doctor's office for someone who may have recently been diagnosed with diabetes.
My lab team and I were assigned to create a new invention that would change the lives of diabetics. We designed a hypothetical product that would improve diabetic's lives.
My class studied feedback loops in homeostasis, and used blood sugar regulation as an example. This is a diagram of how the body reacts and controls blood sugar fluctuations.
In the fourth unit of Biomed, we studied the heart and heart disease. This is a diagram showing the circulation of blood in relation to the heart, body, and lungs.
As we studied the heart, my lab partner and I got to take electrocardiograms of our hearts, and this is a copy of mine.
Studying heart disease, we made brochures with basic information about cholesterol.
My partner and I made a report of my blood pressure taken at different positions.
We made a chart of information about infectious agents, categorizing their type, how they are spread, what they affect, and how it can be prevented.
As our last project for the class, we were assigned to make a powerpoint about a specific body system. We explained each organ in the system and how the diseases we have studied would affect that system.
Human Body Systems
The first thing we focused on in Human Body Systems was forensic anthropology with bone identification by gender, race, height, and age. Here we were presented with a fictional case of a found skeleton, and I had to determine as much information as possible using forensic anthropology.
The General Biometrics Project was a project where we designed a security system for an amusement park. We proposed our idea of using vein scanners to the class in this PowerPoint.
Below is my partner Joseph, wearing the Brain Map that we made. It is a map of all the lobes of the brain and areas, with little symbols that tell us what each lobe controls.
This project was a case where we were given a patient's description of her symptoms and we had to diagnose her neurological disorder.
Below is a picture of my Maniken that my partners and I made by modelling muscles, veins, arteries, bones, and organs out of clay.
This is a color diagram of the nephron that I labelled. We did this when we studied the function of the kidneys.
My partner and I studied height correlation with different bones in the body, and this is a graph of tibia length compared to height.
This is a feedback loop that I made while learning the role that the thyroid gland has on homeostasis.
This is a project where my team used a spirometer to measure our breathing rates and lung capacity, and then we did the calculations of one of our team member's graph.
This is my report that calculates my client's TDEE, BMI, and BMR, and gives recommendations on nutrition balance.
This is a worksheet that was done about Ankle-Brachial Index, calculating it, and answering questions on it.
Medical Interventions
In the following two activities we had to discover where an outbreak began, and which disease it was based on symptoms.
The following are audiograph worksheets that were done to help us learn to read hearing impairments on a graph.
Before we did an ELISA test, we practiced doing dilutions by hand
This is a recombinant DNA plasmid that we cut and taped in our activity.
This is a graph depicting the growth of E. coli while exposed to antibiotics.
