Helena Andrews is 29, single, living in D.C., and might be the star of a black "Sex and the City" -- stylish, beautiful and a writer desperately in search of love in the city.
Andrews's life appears charmed: The film rights for her memoir, "Bitch Is the New Black," a satirical look at successful young black women living in Washington, were purchased before the book was finished. Shonda Rhimes, the executive producer of "Grey's Anatomy," is set to produce the film and Andrews will write the screenplay.
When Andrews pitched the book, she described it as part "Bridget Jones's Diary," part "Sex and the City." The book is to be published in June by Harper Collins.
"What I am trying to say about single black women in any urban environment is, you don't know them as well as you think you do. They may not know themselves as well as they think they do," Andrews says, seated at a table with a white tablecloth in a restaurant on U Street. Her appearance is flawless: She is wearing an ivory blazer and skinny jeans, her movie-star eyes glisten with shadow and her hair is cut in a fresh bob. Perfect. Image is everything. And it means nothing.
"The book was a time for me to step back and reflect," to capture the internal dialogue and the dialogue with girlfriends who are "caught in a quarter-life crisis." She is not talking about all young black women, but some. Revealing a story not oft told.
A lot of black women put up an exterior that says: "Everything is together. 'I'm fine. Perfect. Don't worry about me. Keep it moving.' That is the trend," Andrews says. "Put on new stilettos. Put on a mask of bitchiness." But that image -- prevalent in both the media and the workplace, Andrews believes -- is one-dimensional.
"When people think about black women, they have only one adjective for us, which is 'strong,' " Andrews says. "The girl you see walking down the street looks like she has it all together," but she may not.
A journalist who has written for Politico and The Root, Andrews says her book attempts to reveal what's behind the veneer. In a series of essays, Andrews documents the lives of so many young black women who appear to have everything: looks, charm, Ivy League degrees, great jobs. Closets packed full of fabulous clothes; fabulous condos in fabulous gentrified neighborhoods; fabulous vacations, fabulous friends. And yet they are lonely: Their lives are repetitive, desperate and empty. They are post-racial feminists who have come of age reaping the benefits of both the civil rights movement and the women's movement, then asking quietly: What next?
"Gone are the [college] days when friends are an elevator ride away, dinner plans are made on the way to somebody's hall, and Thursday is Friday or Friday is Thursday (who cares, you'll figure it out in Philosophy C203)," Andrews writes. "Soon enough, the little old lady living in a shoe is you -- and the rent is effin' unbelievable, and nobody comes to visit because you're too far from the Metro. Adulthood comes in little jigsaw pieces. Once the painstaking work of fitting them all together is done, the picture doesn't look nearly as cool as it did on the box."
Andrews writes about what it is like for a young, black woman dating in D.C., trying to find a mate who seems ever elusive. The futile rituals are familiar: the dressing up, the eager cab ride over to the party, the hold-your-breath as you walk in, scanning the room quickly for any looks returned. The mantra sounding in the back of your head: "So-and-so found a man last year at a party like this. Maybe tonight is my night." Then one by one, the men prove to be disappointments and disappointing: married, uninteresting or uninterested.
The disappointment as you end up at the bar once again, committing straw violence in your drink (stirring the drink frantically and unconsciously).
Andrews writes the truth of those nights. The truth is for too many, they never work out. Not for Andrews and not for her friend, Gina, who is a prominent character in her life and in the book.
"For a lot of black women, especially young successful black women, we have a lot of boxes on our master plan list checked off," Andrews says. "We think happiness should come immediately after that. But that is not always the case."
Love is much too hard to find and when these women do, it may go all wrong because of issues that are too complicated for statistics, Andrews says. She is quick to say, "There are tons of black families who are healthy and good." Even so, black women are more likely than white women to grow up poor or otherwise struggling financially; to be fatherless and to experience a myriad of other societal and/or familial dysfunctions. Ironically, the "issues" can also include being a "strong" woman: the can-do, opinionated type many black women become after growing up in a matriarchal household, the type with whom some men still just can't deal.
"I have tons of friends who are extremely successful lawyers and lobbyists, staffers on the Hill. They are great at what they do. They are in their late 20s and early 30s," Andrews says, sipping Ethiopian coffee. Her dog, Miles, is sitting beneath the restaurant table, whining softly.
"But there is loneliness at their jobs, because most likely they are the only black person there and people treat them like they are the only black person there. They dress a certain way. They go out on the weekend. . . . And still they end up going home, and it's you and your damned dog."Talking about a suitor
Andrews is presiding over a table at a chic restaurant, this one in downtown D.C., on a Saturday night. It is the kind of restaurant that is crowded not for the food but for the chance to see and be seen. Crowds are spilling out the door into the darkness of 14th Street. The once-desolate street is filled with beautiful people. Who knew this about Saturday night on 14th Street?
Andrews is speaking with two polished girlfriends, a lawyer and a political staffer, who didn't want to be named because of their jobs.
"I went on a date last night with Cornrows," Andrews says, using the nickname that her friends have given the man. "I got in his car and there was this strawberry smell fragrance. I had to roll the window down by hand. I assume it's paid for."
Cornrows, she says, seems nice, but that is the problem. "He can put together coherent sentences, but they are not in any way related to my life," she says. She laughs, but catches herself. She knows the man is trying hard. She also knows Cornrows doesn't stand a chance.
"I'm a mean woman. I don't date nice people. That's why I'll be alone for the rest of my life. I will always have to settle."
Staffer: "You need a man in your life. They come in handy for labor."
Andrews: "He offered to help me move. That was nice."
Lawyer: "He wasn't nice to offer. He just wants to get with you."
Andrews: "I don't find him attractive. If he was funny, that would go a long way. He could be my winter boo. I need a boo. My life sucks. When your life sucks, a winter boo with his own apartment would be awesome to have."
What is a winter boo? you ask.
And they explain a winter boo is someone you hook up with when it's cold outside, someone good enough to take to office holiday parties, someone who has a car and who can drive when the wind is whipping down the sidewalk.
"It's like a booty call, but it's not," Andrews says.
"It's like you like him enough to bring him out to public settings. They, like, serve a seasonal purpose."
But what happens in the summer, you ask.
"There is no such thing as a summer boo. You are supposed to be out. Be free."
The catch?
"A winter boo doesn't know he's a winter boo," until summer comes and he has been set free.'Why is she single?'
The genesis of Andrews's book came from a conversation a few years ago between Andrews and Gina, a social scientist who lives in Los Angeles. They wanted to start a blog to explore "why black women can't find a man." The day she talked to an agent about this idea and pitched it as a book, one of her sorority sisters committed suicide.
It jarred Andrews. "We stopped. Discussed what happened. We think each other's lives are fine. You got a good job. A good place to live. You will handle it." But some people can't handle it. "She looked like any other successful black woman," Andrews says of her friend. , "Good clothes, stylish. Ivy League degree, master's." Nobody saw it coming. She won't discuss the details, but you can see it in her face, the mind racing over the why.
"People keep talking about the black single woman in D.C. But do you know who she is? Does she know what she wants? They should stop saying we have it all together. . . . I am that single black woman in Washington, D.C. Why is she single? This is who I am. Tell me."
Andrews' résumé is a snapshot of upward mobility. She graduated from Columbia University, majoring in English literature and creative writing, worked at O Magazine, then went to graduate school for journalism at Northwestern, and in 2005 landed as a news assistant in the New York Times Washington bureau. At the moment, she is not working, but waiting for all the deals to be sealed with the movie.
But there is more. Born in California, grew up on Catalina Island and in Los Angeles. Her mother is a lesbian. She has seen her father once, when she was 6 months old. When Helena was 7, her mother decided to move to Spain, but the girl's grandmother kidnapped her.
Is this a true story, you ask.
"Yes, it's my life story."
Helena's mother, Frances Vernell Andrews, 57, who lives in Stone Mountain, Ga., says in an interview that it is indeed a true story. When she read the book, "initially it was like walking down memory lane from my child's perspective. Initially she kept saying, 'Mommy, you can't read it. I am not showing it to anyone.' I had come up to Washington for Thanksgiving two years ago. I went on her laptop and e-mailed some of the chapters and read them when I got home. She didn't know initially. But I said I needed to know a little bit about what you are putting out there. But I was delighted. She is a terrific writer."
In the book, Andrews recalls the abduction. And her mother recalls the story, too. "We were on our way to Spain and my mother didn't feel I should go," Frances Andrews says. "She wanted me to stay and marry this man. She drove us to the airport and said, 'Go in and check your bags. The baby can wait.'
"I go in and get my boarding pass. I come out and my mom is gone. I thought she must be circling the block. I waited two hours. Then I gave up and went back to my mom's home and sat and waited. She came back without my daughter. She said, 'You need to settle down and stop chasing the world,' " says Frances Andrews. "I am a lesbian. My family thought I should not have had a child."
She promised her mother she would settle down. "Just bring me my child."
Her mother brought Helena back and Frances left town with her daughter for an island.All about attitude
Helena Andrews says she is a mean girl. That is where the title of the book comes from.
"It's much easier if you have a mask, 'Don't [expletive] with me.' Then you don't have to worry about office politics." She once asked a colleague, "Why does no one say hi to me in the morning?"
"Because you are a bitch," the colleague replied.
Andrews wasn't offended. That is her way of moving through the world. That way you don't get hurt, you mask any softness or weakness inside.
She doesn't look like one of those mean girls. Perhaps that is the point. Andrews has that innocent cheerleader, preppy look, even as she strolls her neighborhood of Northeast Washington, with her cute little black pug dog in her arms.
The homeboys on the sidewalk part like a sea to make room for her. A man rolls down the window and asks her to buy him a car. And she smiles. She turns around and smiles again. He has no idea who she is.

In this edition of "Bernie On The Scene" I rank pitchers from both leagues.
In my opinion, ranking and selecting pitchers is a bit more problematic.
According to a report I heard from Baltimore Orioles organizational pitching coordinator Rick Peterson, more than 50 percent of major league pitchers have been lost at one time or another to some type of arm/elbow/should injury. That's a staggering figure. The industry has paid close to $1.5 billion dollars in money paid out regarding pitcher's arm injuries.
Peterson and the Orioles have a very sophisticated pitching regimen and protocols in place to provide state of the art care and preventive measures regarding the physics and anatomy of the arm. The work of noted surgeon Dr. James Andrews is at the center of their research.
My reason for writing this: just like a major league organization, you can't have too much pitching on your fantasy roster. Count on someone getting hurt. Be prepared to replace him.
I look for several factors when I select fantasy pitchers. Here are my guidelines and the components around which my rankings are based:
1) I look at recent injury history and the nature of the injury. It has been my experience that in today's medical world, elbow injuries are easier to diagnose and treat than shoulder injuries.
As a scout, we were always much more concerned about a pitcher with a shoulder injury than one with a forearm strain or elbow issues. Of course, that will vary from pitcher to pitcher.
RotoWire's Jeff Stotts is extremely knowledgeable about arm injuries. I suggest you read his work closely and trust what he says. He's an expert.
The most common treatment of elbow conditions is ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction, or Tommy John surgery. Dr. Frank Jobe, who probably belongs in the Hall of Fame, created the procedure. The normal recovery time from the surgery is 12-to-16 months, depending on the patient.
It is important for you to know which pitchers are returning from injury - not just Tommy John surgery.
2) I closely evaluate where the pitcher fits in his team's rotation. The slot in the rotation is not totally indicative of the pitcher's ability or inability. Often times pitcher's slots are determined to break up a string of right-handed or left-handed pitching or to put an off-speed pitcher following a flame-thrower. A fifth starter will likely get fewer starts than the others.
3) I look at the quality of the defense behind the pitcher. Poor defense yields runs. Yes, many of those are unearned. But it gets the pitcher out of the game earlier than necessary.
4) I look at the pitcher's ability to pitch under pressure. There are those pitchers that want the ball any time, anywhere. There are those that don't. Find out who they are.
5) Of course I look at the pitcher's team's ability to score runs for him. Think of Matt Cain, for example. He went through times when he got no run support. Or Felix Hernandez.
6) Finally, I look at a pitcher's home park. He will likely pitch half his games there. A pitcher's park could help provide better results in all categories except strikeouts. The park won't help if the guy can't pitch. Period.
So, here are my 2013 starting pitcher rankings. In some cases, I make comments.
1. Clayton Kershaw - secondary pitches set him apart now.
2. Justin Verlander - amazing endurance, command, velocity.
3. Stephen Strasburg - pitching a full season = watch out.
4. David Price - now in a class with the big, big guys.
5. Felix Hernandez - a better offense could mean some wins.
6. Matt Cain - give him the ball in tough games. He's a winner.
7. Cole Hamels - gets the opening day call in Philly. 'Nough said.
8. Jered Weaver - some velocity decline, but looking for K's.
9. Gio Gonzalez - has become a winner on a winning team.
10. Yu Darvish - More experience - he harnesses all eight of his pitches.
11. R.A. Dickey - now pitching on a winner, but in tough division.
12. CC Sabathia - wins could be tougher to achieve.
13. Adam Wainwright - all the way back - knows how to pitch.
14. Madison Bumgarner - could command and ability to pitch.
15. Chris Sale - tall, slender downhill pitcher with ability.
16. James Shields - ace of a new staff adjusts to new league.
17. Max Scherzer - this is his year, as well as his team's.
18. Kris Medlen - I don't think last year was a fluke. Good team.
19. Aroldis Chapman - chicken, fish? Starter? Reliever? Velocity.
20. Johnny Cueto - Always concerned about pitching in Cincinnati.
21. Mat Latos - see above about park factor concerns.
22. Zack Greinke - yes, I'm concerned about his elbow.
23. Yovani Gallardo - solid arm, but loses command at times.
24. Cliff Lee - he could stand a little more run support.
25. Jordan Zimmermann- should continue to improve.
26. Ryan Vogelsong - every year we doubt him. I don't.
27. Jon Lester - surprising rebound for Red Sox lefty.
28. Brett Anderson - if he stays healthy, this guy's a winner.
29. Roy Halladay - it doesn't look good, but he's Halladay.
30. Hiroki Kuroda - I'm not one of the doom sayers.
31. Brandon Morrow - inconsistency still an issue.
32. Jake Peavy - pitched with no run support last year. Again?
33. C.J. Wilson - right club, division hitters are really tough.
34. Matt Harvey - a budding star with a full repertoire.
35. Doug Fister - we've seen great and mediocre. Which is he?
36. Matt Moore - we're waiting.
37. Ian Kennedy - I think he's more 2012 than 2011.
38. Josh Johnson - yes, injury issues are a real concern.
39. Jeff Samardzija - bad club hurts his wins.
40. Alexi Ogando - I've always been a believer. Now has 3 pitches.
41. Tommy Milone - right team, right time, right guy.
42. Jon Niese - command and control, not much velocity.
43. Trevor Cahill - his home park hurts.
44. Anibal Sanchez - showed his stuff in playoffs.
45. Matt Harrison - now the �ace� of the staff.
46. Brandon McCarthy - if he's healthy, he's a winner part 2.
47. Jarrod Parker - inconsistent, but he's got a fine arm.
48. Derek Holland - who is this guy? If you know, tell me.
49. Wade Miley - I believe in his command.
50. A.J. Burnett - no pressure, no problems.
51. Jason Vargas - a much under - appreciated pitcher.
52. Lance Lynn - right team, good arm.
53. Wei-Yin Chen - pitches to contact - has command.
54. Tim Lincecum - This his hard for me to do. A great guy.
55. Erasmo Ramirez - I really like his chances.
56. Jaime Garcia - if he can stay healthy, he's better than this.
57. Josh Beckett - the man is on a mission to reinvent himself.
58. Dan Haren
59. Edwin Jackson

The Padres just don't have any luck. Last year their pitchers went down. This year they have already lost third baseman Chase Headley. Any hand injury causes long-lasting issues. Be careful with him
Well, the Yankees took my suggestion and did more than look at Brennan Boesch. He's now a platoon outfielder for them.
Unless you've watched a game or two at Coors, you have no idea how it impacts pitching. And hitting. I don't know how a Rockies pitcher can be successful over time. I'm also fearful for visiting pitchers in Coors. Watch the schedule carefully.
There are a few words that describe the condition of the 2013 Yankees as they enter the season. Let me state a few: Juan Rivera at first base.
IMO, the Blue Jays have a number of holes that will be exposed. I do not consider them a lock to win that division.
I think I asked you to remember the name Michael Wacha. This week's name to remember? Khris Davis, OF, Brewers. He just has no place to play with Ryan Braun on the club.
Scouts in Florida are raving about the Mets' Matt Harvey. I've been raving about him from the first time I saw him.
I'm raving about Wily Peralta. The guy has a very loose arm and the ball explodes on the hitter.
Does Kyle Lohse have some kind of communicable disease I'm unaware of? What's up with that? You mean Brett Myers has a gig and Lohse doesn't?
Next week I'll write about relievers. Then I'll wrap up my spring training experiences with an article featuring my general thoughts about each club.

Coin - Poem by Marshall Gass
The other side of joy is pain, the dark shadow that lurks
As joy resonates its fullness and draws you into its embrace.
Joy flourishes in abundance unknowing of the meanings
while pain waits patiently to bring you down when not watching
So is Love, that soars above all other reason and rests in clouds
of ecstasy, mindful of the elation and splendour and euphoria
aware that pain stands nearby, watching and waiting ever for slight
tumble that he may walk in and toss his horns about your wonder
and unsettle you as much as he can. But Pain also makes Joy
feel better, more fulfilled and last longer and more understanding.
So it is with life and love and longing all sides of the coin
that we toss high into the air to clasp and cuddle, waiting anxiously
to see what surrenders. Heads or Tails? No matter. The other side
stays underneath waiting passively for the next toss.

ATLANTA - Atlanta Falcons tight end Alge Crumpler wants to visit imprisoned quarterback Michael Vick soon.
The only problem is Crumpler doesn't know where to start.
"We have to find out the rules, like if he can have visitors and what the procedures are," Crumpler said last week. "The thing is we're still trying to find the details, and that's not information you can get with a quick phone call."
Vick was sentenced three weeks ago to 23 months in federal prison for his role in an interstate dogfighting conspiracy.
Crumpler and running back Warrick Dunn said several times this season that they routinely spoke with Vick after a federal grand jury indicted him on July 17. All contact stopped on Nov. 19, when Vick voluntarily reported to a regional jail in Warsaw, Va. The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback became a federal inmate as he stood before U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson earlier this month in Richmond, Va.
Crumpler and Warrick Dunn have asked Kevin Winston, the Falcons' senior director of player development, to learn what visiting privileges, if any, Vick has.
"A couple of us, me and Warrick and maybe some other guys on the team want to see him face to face," Crumpler said. "It's been a long time since all this stuff started up."
According to a listing Monday on the Federal Bureau of Prisons Web site, Vick's location is "in transit." He has been assigned register number 33765-183.
Crumpler considers himself Vick's closest friend on the Falcons.
In 2001, Atlanta drafted Vick, a Virginia Tech sophomore, No. 1 overall. Crumpler, a North Carolina senior, was picked in the second round.
Former Falcons coach Dan Reeves had Vick and Crumpler share hotel rooms when the team took road trips during their rookie season.
"We've always been very close, and that's why Mike knows I'll be there for him no matter what," Crumpler said. "He made some bad decisions and he's paying a heavy price for those mistakes, but that doesn't mean that I should turn my back on him."
Vick also is scheduled to stand trial April 2 for state dogfighting charges in Surry, Va., the site of former property he owned to house "Bad Newz Kennels."
Crumpler, a four-time Pro Bowl tight end, was among five Falcons who were fined for violating the NFL's uniform code in their support of Vick on Dec. 10. The league fined Crumpler, DeAngelo Hall, Roddy White and Chris Houston $10,000 each for wearing "MV7" on their black eye strips in Atlanta's blowout loss to New Orleans.
Receiver Joe Horn was fined $7,500 for pulling up White's jersey and letting television cameras show his teammate's "Free Mike Vick" T-shirt underneath.
Hall did not appeal his fine, but the other four players did.
Crumpler caught two touchdown passes in the Falcons' season finale, a 44-41 victory over Seattle on Sunday. Atlanta's 4-12 record was its worst since 2000.

An interview with chiropractor and Vie Activist, Vibeke Murphy
Posted on 04 March 2013
A Chiropractor and also an anatomy and physiology teacher to yoga teachers, Vibeke has prioritized health and fitness since her late teens. Radiating health and wellbeing, it's truly hard to believe when looking at Vibeke that she's got two children under two.
"I'd had some back problems that a visit to a chiropractor helped me solve. I loved that I was hands on and it used techniques that restored optimal function to the body. I knew that this was something I wanted to study and so I began the six years of study needed to become a chiropractor. Around this time I also fractured my pelvis. My Chiropractor recommended that I do weights and specific core work to create some stability around my pelvis. I had always kept fit, but it was at this point that I started doing resistance training and yoga. I became pain free, and saw huge positive changes in the shape of my body and felt great! Feeling great has always been the main motivator for me to live an active life. If I feel strong, fit and vital, life's curve balls seem so much easier to handle. In order to be good at my job as a Chiropractor, I need to be fit and strong as its very physically demanding. I also want to set a good example to my patients of how to live an active life, and hopefully inspire them to do the same. I have two children under two, so it is vitally important for me to stay fit so that I can keep up with them!"
How do you live an active life, what's your favourite way to stay fit?
My life is active by choice. I have quite a mixture of planned exercise as well as incidental exercise. I am a mother of a 2 year old boy and a 3 month old baby girl. Running after and caring for them is the first bit of activity in my life. As a Chiropractor, I am on my feet using my hands and body as tools to treat patients. It involves massage, manual adjustments as well as stretching muscles and demonstrating rehabilitation exercises to patients. I walk instead of using the car as much as possible. Living at Bondi I take full advantage of the beautiful beach. I love soft sand running followed by a dip in the ocean and the Bondi to Bronte walk is my all time favourite way to decompress. I have been doing Pilates religiously for about ten years and I have enjoyed the benefits of strength, flexibility of body and calming of the mind that it gives me. Regular gym sessions involving spin, cardio and weights help keep things interesting and cool when it is too hot to train outside. Yoga is restorative for both my mind and body.
What is your favourite thing to do on the weekend?
My favourite thing to do on the weekend is going out for brunch with my family and friends. I also enjoy relaxing with the Sunday papers when the babies are sleeping and I love catching up with one or two girlfriends to do the Bondi to Bronte walk and chat.
What's your style like when you're not working out?
When I am not working out, I like to wear clothes that allow me to move freely. I like streamlined, casual and chic clothing that can take me from the playground with the kids to my Surry Hills practice working with patients.
Favourite healthy dish to cook?
Favourite healthy dish I like to cook is Spicy Salmon with yoghurt dressing and roasted beetroot.
How do you find balance?
I believe in the saying work, rest and play. Doing each of these things helps to give me a break from the other so that I always feel revitalised. A little exercise daily is both a physical and mental release for me. It is essential to my wellbeing, spending time with my husband and children. It allows me to switch off from my job as a Chiropractor. Treating patients and running a practice allows me to switch off from the world of raising children and keeps my brain and body active. In the evenings after the kids are in bed, I like to chill with my husband by having a nice dinner together. Having a bath and reading is also very restorative for me. I always try to be in bed by 10.30pm to ensure I get enough sleep!
What does living an active life mean to you?
Living an active lifestyle is essential to my wellbeing. Living an active life makes me feel like I am making the most of every moment and living my life to its full potential. Being active makes me feel positive, motivated and energised!

Interplay - Wins Injunction Hearing over Bethesda
by Aries100, 2009-12-11 17:28:41
From Ausir's Fallout Wiki comes word that Interplay has won the preliminary injunction filed by Bethesda Softworks:

RCI Chief: Horse Racing Industry Must Get Its Act Together
- Apr 9, 2014
- Topics:
Martin said horse racing compares favorably with other sports, including the Olympics, in that about 99.6% of test results come back clean for illegal drugs or therapeutic medication overages.

The president of horse racing's umbrella regulatory group said April 8 the sport's tendency for self-flagellation and participants' refusal to take responsibility for their actions—or lack of action—is a major threat to the industry's future.
Ed Martin, president of the Association of Racing Commissioners International (RCI), gave the keynote address on the second day of the organization's three-day conference in Lexington, Ky.
Martin, who raised his voice on several occasions for emphasis, again offered statistics that indicate horse racing compares favorably with other major sports in terms of the percentage of clean drug tests even though it tests far more samples each year. He also touched on the investigations that resulted after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) made allegations of horse abuse and mistreatment in the barn of Steve Asmussen based upon secretly taken video.
"We stand here today as regulators trying to police a sport, portions of which seem mired in a culture of negativity," Martin said. "They never talk about what's right with this sport. If you consistently talk about the negative, you will chase people away from a wonderful sport.
"If we're not going to accentuate the positive, we might as well all pack up and go home now."
Martin said there are roughly 96,000 races run each year in the United States versus 2,475 Major League Baseball games, 1,275 National Basketball Association games, 1,275 National Hockey League games, and 275 National Football League games. He said many people know of the baseball players accused of using steroids, but few can remember the name of the racehorse trainer that received the first positive for the Class 1 drug dermorphin (a hepta-peptide that is a natural opiate more potent than morphine but less likely to produce addiction) in the Southwest last year.
"Anybody remember the name of the guy? I can't," Martin said. "But (the discovery) was the result of a state racing commission doing its job."
Martin said horse racing compares favorably with other sports, including the Olympics, in that about 99.6% of test results come back clean for illegal drugs or therapeutic medication overages. He said the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), which under federal legislation would oversee equine medication testing for racing, performs about 8,200 tests a year versus 320,000 in racing.
"With all due respect to USADA, it has no experience with horses," Martin said. "Why does horse racing get a bum rap when its testing is as effective as (USADA's) testing? They also allow exemptions for performance-enhancing drugs. We don't allow performance-enhancing substances in our horses (on race day)–you can make an argument for Lasix (furosemide, also known as Salix) as being performance-enhancing, but we disclose its use (for each horse). USADA doesn't tell you who uses what drug in what competition.
"If we adopted the program USADA has implemented, it would increase drug use in horse racing."
Martin said he was as "disgusted as anyone else" watching the nine-minute video released by PETA in March, but industry reaction in the aftermath was revealing.
"The thing that got me the most was the fact you had a prominent owner say, 'I didn't know what was going on with my horse.' Owners get vet bills, and trainers are the agents of owners. This industry needs to make owners more accountable for the people who work for them.
"I'm an advocate for (the National Uniform Medication Program), but I'm not sure even if we had all those rules on the books, we would have seen anything different (in the PETA video). You can't legislate morality. And if owners don't know what they should know, maybe that's where the system of checks and balances has failed us.
"It's easy to detach yourself from the (regulatory) front line. It's easy to sit in judgment and say, 'You're not doing the job.' Let's stop talking down the sport. There are too many people whose livelihoods depend on it."
Martin also called for a review of regulations governing veterinary practices and a funding commitment to ensure horse racing has an adequate network of investigators to monitor activities and weed out violators.

Hi. Just now noticed your response. Yes, we had a great time, though it did rain a bit and was cloudy on and off. Typical finger lakes weather. But a whole lot cooler than down here in Orlando, so that was a nice change of pace.
Hey kfoster, I was reading your post and noticed that you were in Geneva. I was just up there the other week, visiting an old college prof of mine. Geneva can be a beautiful place, when the weather cooperates.

The Taco FloPro Designer upgraded graphic interface quickly provides the user with a detailed heat loss analysis, the layout near boiler and system piping, the ability to size and select all the components, and to develop a materials list. Among other upgrades, FloPro Designer now includes an OEM boiler selection function. After designing a hydronic system, the auto-select function picks the best boiler to meet system requirements. Users also can design a system around their boiler of choice, using the boiler as a starting point. Entire product lines from 12 boiler manufacturers are on FloPro Designer, with more coming soon. The program now allows for placement of virtual walls and for interior and exterior walls to be edited independently. Total heating and cooling loads are now conveniently displayed at the bottom of the screen, updating automatically when new components are added. The ability to now calculate under-slab insulation and floor insulation with unheated basement or crawl spaces makes for more accurate heat loss calculations.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Mercedes-Benz has confirmed that Australian customers will have the most powerful model available when a new C-Class AMG performance car goes on sale next year.
Speaking at the launch of the new C-Class estate near Frankfurt, Mercedes-Benz development executive confirmed Ralf Rossmanith says two types of the car will go on sale.
"For the first time with C-Class we have two versions of our C63," he says.
"They will be the C63 and the C63 S with 25 more kilowatts."
Mercedes-Benz Australia spokesman David McCarthy says the brand will not bother bringing in the less powerful version.
That decision follows a trend for Australian customers to buy the 373kW C63 AMG 507 as opposed to the standard C63 which has 336kW of power. And also continues Mercedes-Benz Australia's policy of offering only the flagship AMG S variants, as it has done with the latest E63 S and CLS63 S.
"The C63 507 is 90 to 95 per cent of current C63 sales," McCarthy says.
"No one buys the 336 kilowatt car, and in E63 and CLS 63 AMGs we have also taken the S."
Michael Christof, project manager for the C-Class vehicle family, says the C63 AMG plays an important role for the manufacturer.
"There are two different cars for two different customers. It is very important to have a rational car and an emotional car," he says.
"The C63 really helps there."
The next-generation C-Class AMG will have a 375kW twin turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 motor as opposed to the thumping 6.2-litre unit used in the outgoing C63 AMG. Pressure for manufacturers to downsize their engines saw BMW switch from a V8 to a turbocharged six-cylinder engine for its iconic M3 performance car, but Christof says such a move is unlikely to occur at Mercedes-Benz any time soon.
"Right now we have a big, big important change as it goes from a 6.2-litre V8 to a 4.0-litre V8 with biturbo," he says.
"Maybe we have to go one step further... [but] the V8 is safe for the next years."
C-Class development chief Peter Kolb drives a current C63 AMG wagon as his personal car, and after testing its successor, promised the next model will be something special as it is based on a lighter, stronger car with a lower centre of gravity.
"It's really exciting," he says.
"The sound is a bit different but at least as good as the C63."
AMG sales in Australia form the highest proportion of overall Mercedes-Benz sales for any country in the world. Australians have bought nearly 10,000 AMG vehicles since 1995, and the C63 AMG has proved to be the most popular model.

Brand: Ramírez
Instrument Categories: Classical and Flamenco, Guitars
Manuel Ramirez de Galarreta y Planell was born in Alhama of Aragon in 1864. Manuel was the younger brother of Jose Ramirez I and at the age of 27 he decided to open his own shop at 24 Cava Baja Street in Madrid. This move caused bad feelings between the two brothers that were never resolved.
In a short period of time Manuel Ramirez developed a very good reputation for building not only guitars but violins and was named luthier of the Royal Conservatory of Madrid. In addition to this, Manuel taught many young luthiers during this period, including Santos Hernández, Domingo Esteso and
Modesto Borreguero.
Although it was his brother Jose Ramirez I who developed the "tablao" guitar design, it was Manuel who developed and perfected the design which is still the model for today's Spanish classical guitar.
It was around 1912 when a young man in eccentric clothing presented himself at the Manuel Ramirez workshop asking to rent a guitar for a concert he was about to perform. Because of the strangeness of the young mans appearance along with the unusual request he was not taken very seriously until he sat down and played the guitar. His prodigious technique and vast repertoire prompted Manuel to give him the guitar, and the rest is history. The young man's name was Andre Segovia and that very guitar now resides in the Metropolitan Museum of New York!
The Ramirez Model 2N-E pictured above "has the same aesthetic and technical mosaic design, headpiece, stringing, template, scales, bridge, placement of soundboard bars and cross bar of the E line, entirely as built by José Ramírez III in 1984. The new NE line is based on this design, the only changes being the mosaics and a few minor details of the internal construction in order to improve the sound quality." As opposed to the older Model 2E, the new 2N-E has solid Indian rosewood back and sides with a solid bookmatched Western Red cedar top.
Specifications for the Ramirez Model 2N-E Classical Guitar:
- 52 mm wide bone nut
- 650 mm scale length
- Ebony fingerboard
- Spanish cedar neck with ebony reinforcement
- Solid bookmatched Western Red cedar top
- Proprietary mosaic soundhole rosettte
- Solid East Indian rosewood back & sides
- Rosewood body binding
- Rosewood bridge with bone saddle
- Hardshell case
Serial Number: Varies as New.
Pricing: Please contact us for pricing.
Status: In Stock and Available.

I made this petition please sign if agree
You really think Nexo it requires so much code-development ?
In truth it is not far different from a listenserver. A dedicated server has just some components disabled: Videosubsystem, renderer, clientpart. It is not much more else except some administration-commands and a remoteconsole. If they programmed dirty they can get trouble to seperate the clientpart from the coregamecode. But I'm not so sure about Unreal Tournament 2004 as Epic-Games did not like ID-Software release their sourcecode for public.
Anyway if they really have listenservers and not invent a peer to peer networksystem (very unlikely) it won't takes longer than a week or even less time to get that done.
So and I won't buy that game either as it does not even met the minimum standards for a FPS-Game whichs sets Quake 3 and not CoD-MW2.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's not something they can just throw in on such short notice.
I mean they've already had to delay a couple weeks and that's just to get the game working on PC and adding DX11 shinies.
If it really were so simple, then why haven't they done it? They know we want it. That much is obvious.

text: I finally got around to tweaking my xmonad.hs and had to start using avoidStruts but, it doesn't work with xmobar with a Static position. Works fine with the other positions: Top, Bottom, etc, but with Static, xmonad seems to not know it exists. I like a status bar across the top of both screens. I had been using a Static xmobar with the width set appropriately. But now, that doesn't work. :( I could split my status bar information across two instances of xmobar, no big deal, but to get the second instance to display on the second screen, it seems I have to set its position to Static and then it gets ignored again. So, I'm looking for one of these solutions: 1. a way to get xmonad to recognize a Static position xmobar 2. a way to get a second xmobar instance to show on a different screen without using Static or 3. give up and set up some manual gaps (which I guess is still feasible from looking at Byorgey's config). and hints?

New venue gets mixed reviews
September 10, 2009
Assessment of the De Soto Days' change of venue was much like the weather during the three-day festival — cloudy.
Rain threatened throughout the festival, which moved this year from Miller Park to Riverfest Park, but never actually materialized during the festival's schedule. Temperatures remained pleasant as they have been all summer.
John Evans, owner of the Evans Midland Empire Show Inc., said that had been the carnival's experience throughout the summer.
"It's never really rained when it shouldn't," he said.
Nonetheless, Evans said Thursday was very slow and was pinning his hopes on a big Saturday to match last year's festival.
"Too early to tell," he said Saturday afternoon.
Vendors at De Soto Days agreed the festival started slow and were hoping for a good Saturday.
Max Atwell, who returned to the festival with a lemon and lime aide stand with his wife, Star, said there was little business Thursday but that it picked up Friday. By mid-afternoon Saturday, he was hopeful of a good final day.
Atwell, vendor Ed Shanley of Edgerton and Evans said it would take awhile for the new location to catch on.
Mary Plummer, a veteran of 44 De Soto Days, was far more upbeat about the success of the festival and endorsed the Riverfest Park.
"I like it," she said. "There's much more room this year. There's room to spread out."
Plummer worked the De Soto United Methodist Church Women's booth, which sold bierocks and other treats again the year. Business was good, although the booth still had bierocks by at 2 p.m., long after they're generally out because the church women made more of the popular items this year, she said.
Also happy with the activity at their booth was the Masons, who were offering children's identification kits. They processed 12 kits the first two nights of De Soto Days and 17 before 1 p.m. Saturday. Duke Neeland said they probably would have been busier except that people didn't believe the service was free.
There was a good crowd for Saturday's downtown parade. Raheema Sampson, De Soto Days Festival Committee chairman, said she and parade organizers were pleased with the number of entrees in the parade and the number of floats.

When she left The Heritage Foundation more than two years ago, I felt certain Elaine Chao was heading off to one of the loneliest jobs in the country: Labor Secretary for a Republican president.
During her tenure, the Bush administration has reached out to labor leaders, but it's a tough sell. Despite her overtures, the big unions remain staunch supporters of more liberal candidates, as they have been for decades.
But that hasn't stopped Chao from trying to make life better for low-income laborers. For example, the Labor Department is trying to update the laws governing overtime -- laws first written during the Great Depression. Clearly, the job market has changed since then. When's the last time you saw a classified ad seeking a "leg man" or "straw boss," terms that remain in the current law?
Unfortunately, labor laws haven't kept up. Today, companies can classify employees who make just $8,061 per year as "exempt," meaning they would be ineligible for overtime. Chao has proposed raising that threshold to $22,000, a step that would immediately make an additional 1.2 million workers eligible for time-and-a-half.
While that change would help the poorest laborers, it wouldn't hurt most blue-collar workers. Union members who work under collective bargaining agreements would make at least as much under the new proposal as they do today. This includes most firefighters, nurses and police officers.
Who's leading the opposition to the changes? Another group that traditionally lines up behind liberals: Trial lawyers.
Because current law is so confusing, many companies struggle to determine which jobs are eligible for overtime, and which are not. Trial lawyers exploit this confusion: They pore over work roles until they find groups that seem mislabeled, and then file class-action lawsuits.
It's a booming business. In 2001 there were more suits filed over overtime pay than suits alleging discrimination in the workplace. And why not? If a lawyer can convince a court to agree that a company has made a mistake, he can force that company to shell out millions of dollars in back pay.
For example, two years ago, the Farmers Insurance Exchange of California was slapped with a $90 million judgment because it hadn't been paying overtime to its claims adjusters. More recently, Radio Shack and Starbucks surrendered without a fight. Those companies coughed up $30 million and $18 million, respectively, to settle out of court with store managers.
Under Chao's changes, those white-collar workers who make more than $65,000 would lose their right to overtime under the new laws. But keep in mind the original reason for such laws: To benefit poor laborers. Middle-class managers and professionals were never supposed to be covered.
Besides, these laws might well make life better for many in the middle class. The new regulations would allow companies to create a modern work force with more, better-paying white-collar positions. They also would allow companies to create more flexible work schedules. That means many of the new executives, who are now mostly hourly workers punching in at nine and punching out at five, would be able to spend more time with their families. As long as they remained productive, they could do their work any time they chose.
Trial lawyers and union leaders have never been eligible for overtime. Sadly, they are working hard to make sure that our poorest employees aren't, either.
Elaine Chao probably does feel lonely sometimes. But if she can succeed in her attempt to reform our outdated labor laws, it will all be worth it. She'll have earned the gratitude of millions of working Americans.
Ed Feulner is the president of The Heritage Foundation.

Chris Cester responded to the media debacle, stating in a Jared Story interview that the beat was taken from Motown, referring to a meeting between Iggy Pop and himself:
"It's funny because I asked him point blank about that. He said I was crazy. He said that when he and David Bowie were writing "Lust for Life", they were ripping off Motown's beat. It's funny that he said that to me because we also thought we were ripping off Motown more than "Lust for Life". To be honest with you that kind of annoyed me a lot, because I always thought it was really lazy. People just go well Lust for Life is more well-known so that's what they go for, but if you listen to a song like "You Can't Hurry Love" (The Supremes) I think you'll find its closer to "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" than "Lust for Life" ever was. And that's what Iggy said as well."

Sarah Jessica Parker gallops down the road with The Jay.
SJP: Where we goin', Jay?

Andrew Rankin and his team of filmmakers record a snapshot of life on The Hill.
I really enjoy watching Andrew Rankin's video. Maybe because of the feeling of pride when seeing Castle Hill on the screen. The Hill is an icon in Townsville, over 3,000 people use Castle Hill every week, and it's ranked second for Townsville attractions in Trip Advisor.
Everybody knows Castle Hill. It's our piece of rock.
The fact that this is a nicely made short documentary helps this feeling of pride. A good story, a familiar location, a great team of filmmakers. The craft itself becomes invisible as passionate stories are shared.
Andrew has his own story about his film:
The film was made to express the benefits that something as simple as a hill can offer the surrounding community. I'm amazed at the number of people that gain health both physical and mental by walking, running, riding up Castle Hill. On a personal note it has given me enormous benefits and helped me through a very difficult stage in my life. In some way I wanted to give back and hopefully inspire others to make use of the environment we live in.
As an ABC Open producer I get to hear and see lots of ideas for creative storytelling projects and Andrew Rankin's film is an example of a popular idea discussed during an ABC Open brainstorming workshop - locals making stories about their favourite places.
In the workshop discussion we decided that we want to make video that could be geotagged and easily found on a map, we want to utilise time-lapse, and we want to curate and broadcast stories in a way people could access and find these favourite places, then share their own experiences and stories about each particular place. Mobile technology allows us to do this.
Most importantly we want to capture from the filmmakers and storytellers why these places are special.
The fact that Andrew and his team of filmmakers and participants took initiative and achieved this with their documentary about our much loved icon, The Hill, shows that there is a genuine interest in these types of stories. They've made a film that locals can be proud of and I think Andrew has been successful in inspiring others with his film.
I know I'll be heading up Castle Hill more often, getting down to the Strand and out to Riverway, and am also encouraged to make collaborative stories about my favourite places in north Queensland, such as Paluma.
How about you, why do you love Castle Hill? And what's your favourite place in north Queensland?

Numerous questions hung Tuesday over Gov. Tom Corbett's plan for additional federal Medicaid dollars, a day after he announced the plan and sent an outline to federal officials.
WATCH: Building Collapse Victim's Parents
Corbett's proposal hinges on an idea several other states are exploring. It calls for using new federal Medicaid dollars to buy private insurance policies, instead of expanding government rolls for adults who are newly eligible for coverage under President Barack Obama's signature 2010 health care law.
But private insurance policies cost much more than the traditional Medicaid program, and it is not clear who would pay the difference or how that gap would be eliminated.
Joan Alker, executive director of the Georgetown Center for Children and Families in Washington, D.C., described the arrangement Tuesday as an experiment. "... and the federal government has indicated that they're willing to consider a limited number of these experiments,'' Alker said.
Medicaid costs less because its reimbursements and administrative costs are lower and it doesn't build in profits, analysts say. Corbett administration officials hope private-sector competition will force prices down enough to eliminate the gap.
Alan Weil, executive director of the National Academy for State Health Policy in Washington, D.C., said he believes the gap will eventually disappear, partly because consumers will be able to compare insurance policies side-by-side in the new government-run insurance exchanges that, under the 2010 law, open for business Jan. 1.
Comparison shopping will bring down the cost of commercial policies while Medicaid reimbursements must rise if the state-federal program is to expand and be accepted by more medical professionals, Weil said.
"The question is at what speed? How quickly?'' Weil said.
So far, the Corbett administration has submitted a 12-page ``concept paper'' to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Seeking changes, as Corbett is, to the Medicaid expansion envisioned by the 2010 law will require a long process of public comment periods and federal review.
Under the law, the federal government is to cover the entire cost of a state's new Medicaid enrollees in 2014 through 2016 before the federal share begins to gradually drop to 90 percent. Accepting the money would insure people who earn up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $31,000 for a family of four.
That would mean coverage for about 520,000 uninsured Pennsylvania adults who are newly eligible, the Corbett administration said for the first time Monday.
Initially, the Corbett administration said the Medicaid expansion, plus other requirements of the health care law, would result in more than $4 billion in costs to Pennsylvania taxpayers over eight years. This week, Corbett didn't release an estimate of how much his plan would cost taxpayers.
Other elements of Corbett's Medicaid plan could run into trouble. Analysts say Corbett's desire to require able-bodied, working-age Medicaid enrollees to show that they are actively searching for jobs and to impose premiums on people who earn below 100 percent of the federal poverty level is not allowed by federal law.
Alker called the job search requirement a "nonstarter.'' Richard Weishaupt, a lawyer with Community Legal Services of Philadelphia, a public interest law center that advocates for the poor, called Corbett's plan to impose premiums a "reach.''

I have a small iPod touch that I use to read my Quilting Arts pdfs, read this site early in the morning, I play games and read books too. I got mine when I was pregnant because my work bag was too heavy and my husband didn't want me to take my heavy books to work and back and I refused to not be able to read during the time that I'm sitting on transit.
I love how light it is to hold and how I can have over 100 different books and magizines at my fingertips at one time.

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. - San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Braylon Edwards will be sidelined indefinitely with a knee injury.
Edwards had a procedure done on his knee following Sunday's loss against Dallas, when the wideout caught one pass for 21 yards. He hauled in three passes for 37 yards in a season-opening win over Seattle the week before.
"He's going to be out for a little bit," said 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh, who did not care to speculate on the length of Edwards' recovery.
The 49ers signed Edwards to a one-year contract in the offseason following his two-year stint with the New York Jets.
