Check Out This Cool Hand-Drawn Poster for Crime Thriller 'The Mule'

While most of us have never heard of this film yet, I have a feeling by the end of the year we'll all be talking about it. Premiering at SXSW this weekend is a film titled The Mule, co-written by Angus Sampson and Leigh Whannell (you may known them as Specs & Tucker from Insidious), co-directed by Angus Sampson and Tony Mahony. The story is about a drug "mule" taken into custody in 1983 by Australian Federal Police, who refuses to "defy his bodily functions and withhold the evidence…literally." That whole concept may not make sense until you get a glimpse at this poster, then you can start to put the pieces together, then you can think "holy shit" this might be crazy. Hugo Weaving stars, but there are no actors on here yet. Take a look.
Here's the first festival teaser poster for Angus Sampson & Tony Mahony's The Mule, debuted via Twitch.
Here's the full description from SXSW: It's 1983. A naive man with lethal narcotics hidden in his stomach is detained by Australian Federal Police. Alone and afraid, 'the Mule' makes a desperate choice; to defy his bodily functions and withhold the evidence…literally. And by doing so becomes a 'human time-bomb'; dragging cops, criminals and concerned family into his impossible escapade. Inspired by true events, The Mule is co-directed by Angus Sampson and Tony Mahony, with a darkly comic screenplay by Sampson, Leigh Whannell (Saw, Insidious), and Jaime Browne. The film stars Hugo Weaving alongside Sampson and Whannell with an ensemble cast including Ewen Leslie, Geoff Morrell, Georgina Haig, Noni Hazlehurst and John Noble. The Mule premieres this March at SXSW 2014 and is still seeking a US distributor. Curious?

Implicit Ageism
Ageism manifests both explicitly and implicitly, distinguished by intentionality. Explicit ageism occurs when there is a conscious awareness, intention or control in the thoughts, feelings or actions of an institution, law or person in regards to the treatment or consideration of an older adult. Conversely, implicit ageism includes thoughts, feelings and actions toward older adults that exist and operate without conscious awareness, intention or control (Levy & Banaji, 2004). It is believed that when a culture's ageist stereotypes are internalized, they become part of a sub-conscious framework of society, which is expressed through implicit ageism (Levy, 2001).
As people age into being perceived as "older adults," by the external forces of social interaction, formal policy qualifications (Medicare enrollment, e.g.) and self-perception, implicit ageism becomes self-referential (Levy, 2009). Ageist concepts previously directed at others are now relevant to the self and are an inextricable part of the perceived trajectory of one's own aging process.

Don't you just love it when you know someone who can take all the information you have and make something useful with it? This is the strength of the Common Sense Learner. He is able to take all the facts gathered so accurately and sequentially by the Analytic Learner and put them to good use.
How We Teach and How They Learn, Part 5 – The Analytic Learner
The analytic learner is most like the PCA denomination… we like information presented logically and sequentially. This is very western, unlike the other 2/3 of the world that is more interested in the story and the happening than the time. It is hard to teach many subjects in any way except chronologically, so we must use stories and illustrations to make them more understandable to all learners.
How We Teach and How They Learn, Part 4 – The Imaginative Learner
Each learning style is asking a different question, and unless you as the teacher or preacher understand how to answer that question, you may not reach this learner. (These same learning styles characteristics are true of those sitting in the pews listening to sermons as well. So pastors, listen up.) The Imaginative learner is asking why – why do I need to know this? Convince him or her that what you have to say is important and you will have a willing listener.
How We Teach and How They Learn, Part 3
Part 1 of this article introduced the subject of learning styles and described the four basic ways we process new information. Part 2 described the way we perceive new information, concrete or abstract, and the different ways we order that new information, sequential or random. Part 3 will explain the three basic ways we take in new information.
How We Teach and How They Learn, Part 2
In order to understand how to teach, learn, or even preach effectively, we must understand how people process information. This is the subject of learning styles. Most teaching and preaching are done according to one's own learning style. By doing this we miss reaching those who do not learn the same way we do. Did you ever wonder why you were drawn by certain teachers and preachers and not others? It was because they communicated by the same learning style you have.
How We Teach and How They Learn, Part 1
Over the years I have gone to MANY teacher training workshops. What I found interesting is that most of them simply focused on expanding a teacher's arsenal of methods. After many years of studying the subject of how we learn and process new information, I have discovered that when you lay out all these teaching methods, people will pick those that best fit with their own learning style. This means that we will pick those methods we are comfortable using, but these will not reach as many as three-fourths of our students whose learning style is different from ours.

Who in their right mind would want to watch video content on a two inch by two inch screen? According to the Los Angeles Times and their article, No Big Demand For Small Screen by Matea Gold, not even teenagers (who are, typically, the early adopters of these new technologies) are into Mobile TV.
Although the article describes lack of quality programming and herky jerky buffering issues (were they reading my Blog from last week? - see Buffering - Stop The Chop) as the main barriers to entry, I think it's something completely different.
We're all getting in sync with the notion of The Third Screen (screen one = TV, screen two = computer and screen three = mobile phones). I read a quote from an article in Advertising Age from May 2006: "The idea of 'new media' is old. Teens don't see cellphones as a 'third screen.' It's their second screen, after the computer."
What does all of this mean?
I think Mobile TV rocks. I see tons of applications, and the same people who are dismissing it now are probably the same people who thought the notion of Podcasting was insane (who, in their right mind would want to listen to talk or homegrown radio shows on an iPod?).
I travel enough to see how Mobile TV will change the way we watch anything... and that's the big learning. Young people don't watch TV anymore. They don't sit idly by waiting for someone to push content their way. They're creating the content and sharing it. If they don't watch MTV at home, why would they watch it on their mobile devices?
Mobile TV needs to figure out who their real audience is and who would want to be engaged in passive content reception while on the go. Until that day comes, we'll all be reading articles like No Big Demand For Small Screen, even though, deep down inside, we all know that Mobile TV will become as ubiquitous as an annoying ringtone.

Some weeks ago, I received the good news that Lancaster University had accepted my application for a position as a PhD student in Linguistics. Therefore, next January I will be leaving for the UK to join the Department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster. I will be working on a research project (provisionally entitled "Levels of Systematicity and Creativity in Idioms: a Socio-Cognitive Approach to Italian Data"), under the supervision of Professor Elena Semino. In principle, this project aims to empirically test the hypothesis that the cognitive status of idiomatic constructions is similar to that of more "regular" expressions, resulting from the interaction of domain-general cognitive principles and communicative routines (in a usage-based fashion). In particular, I would like to investigate the idiomatic systematicity and creativity in a large amount of data drawn from a giant web-based corpus of Italian (my mother-tongue language), adopting an approach similar to Langlotz's (2006), but more concerned with the intersubjective dimension of language use and the cultural background of native Italian speakers. However, my project will take a more definite shape after getting to Lancaster and speaking to Prof. Semino. STAY TUNED!

CNN's Piers Morgan was eviscerated on his show last week by Breitbart's Ben Shapiro. Ever since, Piers has been itching for a rematch. The former UK tabloid editor has been attempting to taunt Shapiro on Twitter since the two squared off in hopes of getting a second bite at the apple. For now, the apple is ready to be bitten tonight.
But will it really happen?
Shapiro was originally booked to appear on "Piers Morgan Tonight" tonight, but soon learned it would be him against a room full of victims of violence and cancelled. Ben says he was "promised a balanced debate" but Morgan tried to deliver a townhall of victims to make an emotional appeal.
Morgan tried to taunt Shapiro, asking "Do you have a problem looking them in the eye?" Adding, "Grow a pair."
Ben retorted, "I think you engage in cheap emotional ploys rather than rational discussions. You might call it standing on the graves (of Sandy Hook)."
When what was to be a one-on-one debate turned into Morgan "stacking the deck" became publicly known, Piers claimed Ben "didn't want to face gun crime victims." Ben, who outraged Morgan last week when he pointed out that government sometimes becomes tyrannical, responded back, "Tell you what, Piers. I get to bring Holocaust victims (you don't believe governments can go tyrannical). 'Balanced,' my ass."
Shortly after, the rematch was off.
Then it was back on again.
Shapiro tweeted that Morgan, "has reversed course, now guarantees 2 solo segments. He will undoubtedly continue to exploit SH. But it is back on."
We'll see if this holds up.

Official Website
The worst sin a horror movie can commit is having a great idea and then throwing it all away with a movie that doesn't deserve the promise that it suggests. What makes it even worse is that Ethan Hawke is really trying here and Scott Derrickson showed so much promise with The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
The movie opens with four people, two adults and two children, bound with nooses around their necks, attached to a tree. One of the heavy branches is sawed off by an unseen assailant and all four individuals are raised off the ground and dangle there until they are dead. After watching this, we move to the present day.
Ethan Hawke is true-crime author Ellison Oswalt. He is working on a book about these grizzly deaths, which also included the added horror of the fact that one of the family's children was never found. Ellison moves his family into the house that the murders happened at, although his wife and kids don't know this. Immediately, we learn that Elliott is not the most popular person in the world when the town's sheriff (Fred Thompson) shows up and tells him that he really doesn't want him in the town.
See, Ellison's best book helped break open a case that the law enforcement agency screwed up on and helped bring the truth to the light. However, that was his bestselling book and the last two were flops, including one that allowed the actual killer to get off. As a result, Ellison is more than interested in reviving his struggling career and writing another hit. This case is the one that he hopes will help him get back to the top.
Ellison finds a box in the attic of the new home with a film projector and some reels, so he brings them downstairs and begins to watch them. Soon, he realizes that these are snuff films showing real murders, including the one he is studying, and they all have one connection: a scary looking demonic figure that pops up here and there in the videos. All the murders also include a missing child.
This setup is great and the film had so much promise. However, there are two major problems with Sinister. The first is that it is about 20 minutes too long. If this film had clocked in at 90 minutes, it could have been a nice tight thriller. The other problem is the exact opposite complaint. The film did not spend nearly enough time developing its characters, all of whom are paper thin.
In a horror movie, the director and writer should want their audience to feel for the victims and want them to survive. There is nothing in this movie that makes you care about any of the characters. The idea is great, but there is no substance. Ellison is the most frustrating of horror clichés. He makes the same dumb mistakes over and over again. When you know he shouldn't do something, he turns around and does it. The man is an author, and said at one point in the movie that he could edit textbooks. However, he is also the dumbest person in the entire movie. By the end, you almost believe he deserves to die.
His wife is given a bit of screen time, but not enough to make you worry about her. She says this is the last time she will move with him for one of his books and will leave him if he continues to chase a dream that moves further away. I will give her some credit when she said one of the smartest things in the movie after he exclaims that writing is what gives his life purpose and his books are his legacy. Her response is the one part of the movie that actually made her worth cheering for.
Ellison also has two children, a son who has night terrors and a daughter who likes to draw on walls. That is their complete description and you learn nothing more about them. If you want to make a horror movie really frightening, put the children in danger. They were in danger here because Ellison learns from an occult expert via Skype (Vincent D'Onofrio) that the demon eats children's souls. However, the description I just gave of the kids is all we get of them. They are there as background props to use when needed but are not realistically drawn characters at all.
And instead of letting us get to know this family and care about them, more than half of the movie's running time shows Ellison watching the snuff films over and over and over and over. He walks through a dark house when he hears a bump in the night with nothing but a flashlight. On one occasion the power goes out, but the rest of the time the power is on and Ellison refuses to turn on lights. I guess it is scarier that way. It just makes Ellison one of the dumbest horror characters of the decade.
You have Ellison watching the snuff films and walking around a dark house for a good hour of the running time, easily. During this time, you want to reach through the screen and slap Ethan Hawke.
The only character in the movie that is even partially worth liking is "Deputy So-and-So." James Ransone brings a down home likability to the character that is a fan-boy, but also proclaims to Ellison he has a criminology degree and is good at his job. He is good at his job and figures out what Ellison doesn't learn until it is too late. He also has the best line in the movie. After he tells Ellison that this could all be the situation of living in the victim's house messing with his head, Ellison says "so you don't believe in the supernatural?' The deputy responds by saying "I believe in all of it. There is no way I would ever sleep in this house after what happened!"
It is the only time that the viewer can actually relate to someone in the movie.
Scott Derrickson is a great director and brought some very real jump scares here. His ideas here are fantastic as well and the twist at the end is creative and fresh, although the final scene was pretty stupid. However, this movie was all style and no substance. Sinister is a movie that will make you jump but after you see it, all it does it leave you thinking about what a better movie it could have been.
The 411: If you want cheap, but well done, jump scares and a great setup with an interesting twist, Sinister has that. If you want a good story with characters you actually care about and a streamlined plot that will leave you satisfied, there is nothing to see here.

Overagers Radke, Stefano end OHL career in Barrie's 6-3 loss to Kingston
Colts overager Anthony Stefano, in his final game, cuts to the front of the net. Stefano led Barrie in scoring this season with 56 points. MARK WANZEL PHOTO
It was a situation unfamiliar to almost every other Barrie Colt in franchise history.
But coming into Saturday night, both Roy Radke and Anthony Stefano knew this was it.
And when the buzzer sounded at the end of Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kingston Frontenacs, the book closed on a pair of fine Ontario Hockey League careers.
"You try to treat it like any other day in this league, but at the end of the day, it's not," Stefano said. "It's been over 270 games, including playoffs, and maybe more than that.
"It's very bittersweet."
With the Colts not making the playoffs for just the second time ever, the pair of overage forwards were not able to enter Saturday night as many of their predecessors had, being able to put their focus on keeping their post-season alive.
"When it's your last game and it's in the playoffs, it's a little harder to plan," Stefano said. "For the last couple of weeks, since we've been eliminated, I've just been taking a couple of extra seconds at this barn, soaking it all in, because this is it."
That meant the magnitude of the event was ever-present for Radke and Stefano, who had spent three and one-and-a-half years in a Colts jersey, respectively.
"We kind of knew a couple of weeks ago, so it was weird as it kept getting closer," Radke said. "When it was finally here tonight, it was a weird experience.
"You just had to try and treat it like any other game."
For Stefano, a four-year OHL player, it had been an incredible ride.
Stefano, who was originally drafted by the Peterborough Petes, cracked their roster as a 17-year old, putting up 35 points in 65 games.
He was dealt to a rebuilding Windsor Spitfires squad a year later and stayed there until December of 2016, when Stefano came to Barrie in exchange for Brendan Lemieux.
"I really didn't know what to expect when I came here," Stefano said. "I had a conversation with (Colts head coach) Dale (Hawerchuk) and he thought I could bring a lot to the table.
"I thought it was a great opportunity to play with such a great team."
The Sault Ste. Marie native immediately meshed with this group and found a mentor in the Colts bench boss.
"Words can't describe how much he's helped me, even behind the scenes with little things" Stefano said. "I've always followed hockey and been infatuated with it since I was a little kid.
"When you've got a hall of famer out there, you pay extra attention," added Stefano, who also mentioned the significance that assistant coaches Todd Miller and Mike Rosati had in his career as well.
This season, Stefano put up a career-best 22 goals and 34 assists in 61 games, leading the Colts in scoring.
He also became the team's bona fide leader when fellow overager Cordell James was traded to Owen Sound.
"I grew up in a league that was a little different my first year, with a different rule for fighting and stickwork," Stefano said. "Being able to come in and be a leader this year was a new experience for me.
"I was able to bring a bit of myself from the past into this dressing room and hopefully, I made a good name for myself in this dressing room and was able to teach all of these guys at least one thing that can stick with them for their careers."
While Stefano was a kid growing up in an OHL market, Radke came from a Chicago suburb, and didn't commit to come to Barrie until his 18-year old season.
Although Radke spent much of that first campaign getting adjusted to the OHL game, he did score four goals in nine playoff contests to catch the eye of his hometown Blackhawks, who selected him in the sixth round that year.
"I picked up my pace a lot and you learn that you kind of have to take things as they come," Radke said. "You're going to go through ups and downs, but you have to keep a level head and keep getting after it every day."
Radke learned his trade in the OHL from another power forward.
"My first year coming up, I was nervous and didn't know anyone here," Radke said. "Our OA that year, Garrett Hooey, took me under his wing and really made me feel comfortable that year.
"He taught me a lot about playing in this league."
The big winger proved a reliable source of offence last season, putting up a career-high 39 points.
He looked as though he might be a commodity for another OHL squad to pick up this season, but a high ankle sprain sidelined Radke for two months earlier in the year.
In the final month, Radke really hit his stride, scoring 14 goals in the final seven weeks of the season.
He'll hope to continue that as he moves on to the American Hockey League, as he's bound for the Rockford IceHogs, Chicago's affiliate, tomorrow.
"I think I can make the next step," Radke said. "I think my game will translate well to the pro game.
"I've just got to keep doing what I was doing here and use my guys around me to help me out."
Barrie's overagers were honoured before the game with a framed jersey as their families came on the ice to join in the celebration.
Stefano and Radke, despite being earmarked for different lines, were put out together to start their final OHL contest.
They were easily two of the best Colts in the first period, going hard on each shift and leading the way for the young squad.
Radke himself would get Barrie on the board first, when he took a pass from Zach Magwood and fired a wrister that Kingston starter Jeremy Helvig got a piece of, but not enough, as it dribbled into the net for the Chicago Blackhawks prospect's 23rd goal of the year.
The Frontenacs tied the game before the period was out, as Stephen Desrocher scored on a big rebound that came off of Barrie goalie Christian Propp's pad.
Kingston added to its lead in the second when Sam Harding circled the net and set up Sergei Popov in the slot, and the rookie snapped a well-placed shot past Propp.
Barrie would find itself down 2-1, sending both overagers to potentially what would be their final period in the league.
Things did not go their way in the third, as a couple of lackadaisical defensive plays allowed the Frontenacs to add two more goals relatively quickly.
Barrie would find its footing on a power play, and although it didn't strike there, it cut the Kingston lead to 4-2 shortly after, when Giordano Finoro found Aidan Brown in the slot and he knocked it in.
Stefano picked up an assist moments later as Ben Hawerchuk's slow roller somehow went under Helvig's glove and in for an incredibly weak goal, cutting Barrie's deficit to 4-3.
The magic would run out for the Colts though, and with a couple of minutes left, Jason Robertson stole the puck at the Kingston blue line and went the distance, beating Propp through the five-hole.
Barrie would pull the goalie late and put both Stefano and Radke out on the ice, but they couldn't even make it to the centre line before the Frontenacs scored an empty-netter to end any hopes of extending their careers.
"I wish I was here longer, but things happen for a reason," Stefano said.
Zach Magwood: 2A
Roy Radke: 1G, 93 career points in 175 career games
Aidan Brown: 1G
Ben Hawerchuk: 1G
Anthony Stefano: 1A, 165 career points in 248 career games
Lucas Chiodo: 1A
Giordano Finoro: 1A
Christian Propp: 16 saves

And the people flew upon the spoil
Like a swift and ravenous bird, as the eagle, and which seems to have its name in Greek from this word, see ( Isaiah 46:11 ) . When the evening was come, and they were free from the oath of Saul, and being extremely hungry, faint, and weary, they were even ravenous for food and with the greatest haste and eagerness laid hold on what came first to hand:
and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew [them] on the ground;
and there they lay in their blood, which in such a position would not run out freely as when slain and hang up:
and the people did eat them with the blood;
they were so hungry they could not stay the dressing of them, but ate them raw with the blood in them, not being squeezed or drained out, at least not half boiled or roasted. Some of the Jewish Rabbins F1 are of opinion

« Day 11 - Terri Schiavo | Main | Autopsy Cannot Confirm a Clinical Diagnosis »
March 29, 2007
Legalized Killing: The PVS DiagnosisTopics: Bobby Schindler
This the third post in a four part series containing the full-text of a speech given by Bobby Schindler to an audience in Phoenix, AZ sponsored by Arizona Right to Life. These details and much more can be read by simply ordering a copy A Life that Matters.
Part II - Terri Schiavo and the Culture of Death Movement
Part III - Legalized Killing: The PVS Diagnosis
What the doctors in the pro-death health care industry needed to do was create a diagnosis that they could use to make it legal to kill patients with profound brain damage that were thought of by doctors to have a quality of life not worth caring for.
As I mentioned along with some evidence of a declaration by the patient, they also must be determined to be in a PVS condition [for their nutrition and hydration to be withheld].
I need to go back for moment to how the euthanasia movement evolved these past twenty years. What the doctors in the pro-death health care industry needed to do was create a diagnosis that they could use to make it legal to kill patients with profound brain damage that were thought of by doctors to have a quality of life not worth caring for. Thus, the PVS diagnosis was created, and because of its inherent subjectivity, it is a very dangerous diagnosis. But this is precisely what they intended in order to make it legal to kill.
However, more needed to be done. Once the PVS diagnosis was established in the medical community, it became the impetus for pro-euthanasia attorneys and lobbyists to find state legislatures willing to change the laws to enable the courts to make it legal to kill the disabled.
Finally, the PVS diagnosis had to be accepted by the public, which is how the mainstream press fits into this equation. It was their job to make certain that the PVS stamp on persons became common and acceptable language within our culture. And in my opinion, society is taking a monumental shift towards this acceptance of a quality of life [litmus test]. It is why Mr. Felos made the statement that I read earlier admitting that ten of thousands have been killed this way. It is because we are now looking at people with disabilities, deemed unworthy to live (like my sister), as the decisive factor whether that person should live or die, and unbeknownst to us all it is happening everyday.
All you have to do is look at the case of my sister. The PVS diagnosis became the battlefield in the courts and with the public deciding whether Terri should live or die. If she was in PVS kill her, if she wasn't let her live. And then read how the media had a feeding frenzy when Terri's autopsy report came out, trying to justify her death because of this diagnosis. It really is crazy.
According to Florida Law and most state laws, to be diagnosed in a PVS condition, the patient must have no purposeful interaction with his or her environment.
For example, in October 2002, our family was granted a trial to look further into Terri's ability to respond and interact. In front of Judge Greer, five doctors testified to the medical condition of Terri. During this week-long trial, I sat and listened to five doctors and each one of the doctors gave five different medical interpretations of what they described as PVS, with two of the doctors adamant that Terri was not in PVS. As I said, it is so extremely subjective that if you wanted to you could almost describe anyone that is unable to communicate as being in PVS.
What is hardly mentioned by the media is that a recent medical research British study has proven that the PVS diagnosis is misdiagnosed almost 50% of the time, particularly in the early stages of a traumatic brain injury. And with the progress taking place in the medical field especially in the area of adult stem cell research patients with closed brain injuries similar to my sisters are having better chances of improving everyday.
And all you have to do is look at the videos or her and our accounts of when we visited Terri to know that she was very much alive and interacting at some level with us every time we would visit her.
Sadly, the PVS diagnosis continues today to be the driving force behind the health care industry, because as I've said, in the court of public opinion this confusing and deceptive diagnosis has been accepted and is most of the public's way to determine whether someone should live or die.
And looking back when my family began our fight to save Terri's life, one of the biggest traps that my family fell into, and I think many of the pro-life organizations are also doing, is -arguing-- whether someone is in a PVS state or not. Why should the mental condition of someone who has brain damage matter at all.
In fact, something I've notice that is happening with more and more frequency, and is more evidence of how things have gotten so distorted - if you speak out against starving people like my sister to death, YOU will be the one criticized as not having any compassion.
Most of the country has no idea or they are just apathetic in regards to how much our nation is under attack and is being controlled by much of the mainstream secular media and how their influence is eroding the morality of our society. And in the case of euthanasia -- indoctrinating the public into believing that a certain class of people have an inadequate quality of life and therefore it is 'okay' to let them die.
Here are just a couple of examples:
The headline in a paper in Minnesota the day after the autopsy report was released read, "Schiavo's autopsy says damage was irreversible". During Terri Schiavo's final days, when her supporters said she was alert, responsive and trying to speak, she was massively and irreversibly brain-damaged, blind and oblivious to what surrounded her, a medical examiners finding revealed Wednesday.First of all, all brain damage is irreversible. Additionally, why is does the extent of my sister's brain damage have anything to do with whether it was right to take away her food and water. How do we measure the brain damage of human being so that when the an unacceptable level is reached the act of purposely putting them to death becomes morally justified? Well, not only does the media continue to report that the killing of my sister was justified, some have had the audacity to ask that my family apologize to Michael Schiavo.
And if you don't think if continues today, this appeared in a Winston Salem Newspaper:
"As a respected heart and lung surgeon and researcher, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist ought to carry considerable clout when he weighs in on the politics of health care and science. He jeopardized his influence earlier this year when he participated in the shameful interference into the Terri Schiavo case, questioning her doctors' findings that she was in a permanent vegetative state after he watched a videotape and took a cursory look at her records. Later, Schiavo's autopsy confirmed that her doctors had been right. Frist had tarnished his credibility to please the Republican right wing."But this is precisely how these death groups continue to succeed, they hammer away at this quality of life mentality establishing a criteria for condition for when it is permissible to starve human beings to death. In reality, what is being done is the creation of a separate class of people whether it's PVS, coma, disabled, whatever affliction someone might have, and that their lives are considered less worthy to live, and more worthy of dying.
And if you don't think there is a calculated effort to make this way of thinking into the hearts and minds of our future doctors, attorneys, our future leaders of our nation, let me read you the following. This probably disturbed more to learn this then anything I've recently read in regards to this death movement.
In an article called, "Teaching Euthanasia" appearing in the June 2005 issue crisis magazine, the author of the article, Patrick J. Reilly, writes the following:
"The brief filed last August by 55 bioethicists urged the Florida Supreme Court to OVERTURN "Terri's Law," the measure passed by the state legislature to empower Gov. Jeb Bush to protect Schiavo's life. Among the ethicists signing the brief were six Catholic university professors."Mr. Reilly goes on to say, "But what was most striking and unusual about the brief was its direct challenge to Pope John Paul II's teaching on the obligatory use of feeding tubes for seriously ill patients in a "persistent vegetative state".
One of the six that signed the brief supporting the death of my sister was a Catholic priest, Father John Paris of Boston College.
In reaction to the Pope's statement concerning feeding tubes, Father Paris in an interview with the St. Petersburg Time (my favorite paper to read every morning) said,
"I think the best thing to do is ignore it and it will go away. It's not an authoritative teaching statement. The problem here is that non-Catholics think when the Pope says 'Jump', we all say 'How high?'"Father Paris went on to say in a separate interview with Salon.com that,
"The Schiavo case was really about "the power of the Christian right. The family (that would be me) has the radical, antiabortion, right-to-life, Christian right, with its apparently unlimited resources and political muscle, behind them."In September of 2004, Terri's Law was in fact determined to be unconstitutional and the attorney for Governor Bush commented on the potential ramifications of the Florida Supreme Court striking down Terri's law, and how our society is shifting to a quality of life standard.
"If the court authorizes the death by starvation and dehydration of Terri Schiavo having failed to afford her the kinds of protection that she should otherwise have received than anybody else who suffers from disability or handicap who cant speak for themselves who has a family or relatives who stands to gain by their death who cost more to maintain then they produce they're very must at risk going forward this will represent a seismic shift from a sanctity of life ethic to simply a quality of life ethic."Mr. Connor continued,
"we are living in a culture where the sanctity of life ethic is being eroded and we begin to look at the net worth an individual based on cost/benefit ratio and if we all live long enough the day will come when we are old and perhaps infirmed where we no longer are generating an income, but it's a cost to maintain our life in existence."
Mr. Connor finished by saying,
"Florida has many, many people that live in nursing homes, what are the implications for these people going forward into the future are we going to respect and protect their lives and treat them as human being created in God's image or are we going to say well you know their quality of life just doesn't measure up, their functional capacity is diminished and so is their human dignity -- out to the garbage with them."And when I hear people say that what they are doing to people like my sister is nothing like what happened in Nazi Germany, I want to ask them to explain to me the difference, because it seems to me that there is none.
What is this difference between what happened just 60 years ago and what is presently happening? More egregious, is that today, we are starving human with the blessing of the doctors, the courts and the media.
And what is the difference between starving my sister to death and those we prosecute for doing the same to a loved one. It seems that we have become rather selective in our outrage when it comes to starving people to death.
This past April 2004, in Pittsburgh Pa., prosecutors, laid first-degree murder charges against Kimberly Loebig for allegedly starving her disabled brother to death. She now faces life in prison, or the death penalty, if found guilty.
In October of 2004, California when a woman by the name of Delores Johnson was sentenced to 29 years - to life in prison for the starvation death of her autistic brother, Eric Bland.
November 2004, James Tatar was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole of first-degree murder in the starvation death of his 4-year-old daughter, Kristen. Prosecutors said the girl was tied down in an attic and not fed for several days before she died.
The removal of the feeding tubes will produce precisely the same outcomes as all these starvation cases I just mentioned.
However, when someone forcibly starves and dehydrates a defenseless person to their untimely death, we are shocked and appalled at the lack of humanity and we become hopeful that the heaviest sentence the legal system can muster will be applied to the offender.
Yet, when a judge rubber-stamps the very same, because a human being has irreversible brain damage, we turn our heads in utter apathy.
How is it that a simple piece of paper and ink signed by a judge - magically transforms the experience of dehydration and starvation into something that is legal, and as these death groups proclaim, a 'peaceful' and 'painless' death result?
It is difficult to understand why the same sense of outrage has yet to be applied all the court order death by starvation cases similar to ones like my sister.
Unfortunately, when we have leaders demonstrating no leadership turning their backs on people like Terri, we can understand why our society is facing a situation that could lead to the mass killings similar to the numbers we are seeing with abortion. And is why there have been some in the legal community comparing Terri's case as the Roe vs. Wade of Euthanasia.

Before I went to the recommended extreme I would want to know a few things. What are her diapers like? As in, is she wetting frequently throughout the day? Is she happy or consistently fussy?
I would definitely want her to gain a little faster, but I would be very careful supplementing. It can start a very vicious cycle that can be hard to break.
Have you tried making lactation cookies? There was a post on those not long ago. They are delicious and can help your supply tremendously. And don't worry about eating cookies, you are feeding baby!!! Make sure you are drinking tons of water. Eat oatmeal, drink mothers milk tea, etc.
For right now, offer the breast frequently. I'd go every hour and a half if she will take it. And pump after feedings when you can.
Most importantly, follow your gut. Even at only five weeks you know your baby better than anyone. If you think she's hungry and not getting enough, add a bottle here and there. If you think she's a happy, healthy little girl who just doesn't gain fast then monitor and plug along. Just keep track and make sure she's gaining.
Good luck Mama!

Say 'I Do' at Palm Island
By Lauren Tjaden
A wedding – your wedding – is a big deal. A huge deal.
It's the celebration of the beginning of sharing your life with your chosen partner, forever and ever. 'Til death do you part. So, of course, it's only natural that you want a very special place for this very special ceremony.
I think the beach – because it's beautiful and because looking at it and smelling it and walking on it makes you feel good – is perfect for weddings. The Sunshine State boasts a boatload of beaches that are the bomb for getting hitched, and I just discovered another incredibly romantic stretch of sand to say I do.
Its goes by the name of Palm Island Resort, located along the Intracoastal Waterway on Florida's southwest gulf coast in the Charlotte Harbor area. The resort encompasses a two-mile portion of private, pristine beach on the Gulf of Mexico at the northern end of Palm Island -- which is 700-yards wide at its broadest! My husband Paul and I stayed in a tropical villa at the resort, which is only accessible by boat or ferry. Golf carts, bicycles and walking are the only means of transportation.
Interested? Check out these pictures of the pristine paradise, and check out this my video interview with Susan Johnson of Palm Island Resort dishing about beach weddings there.

Many of us may not realize that our bodies respond very seasonally to different factors throughout the year.
Ancient Chinese texts talk about living according to the seasons based on Taoism. In my own opinion I do believe we have a loving creator that provided all our needs here on earth. Chinese medicine and philosophies come from Taoism.
In studying Chinese medicine and Taoism it was all based on observation of the world around us. The structures, patterns and order to the world we were given. Any deviation from this order and structure can cause resistance in our lives and our bodies. It can also hurt the world we live in. Taoism in its authenticity is not a religion or even a philosophy. The word Tao means "The Way."
In a nutshell, respectable old Sages would teach Taoism to their family, friends and students. Taoism is simply a deep understand of creation and the world around us. It is our relationship to nature and nature's relationship to us. Our relationship to the animal kingdom and their relationship to us is explained in Taoism. The universe's relationship to the earth and earth's relationship to the universe.
For instance, in Taoist they believed that all babies came from "Heavenly Qi (Chee)." I would most definitely have to agree with that.
Our bodies go through a cyclical flow of Qi (chee). This flow also happens everyday, but in particular certain times of the year an organ will be a priority. During the springtime that organ is the liver. As the temperature warms up our livers begin to flush out the old and renew itself. It is important to start getting outside and walking more. Drink lots of water to flush toxins out. Eat a diet rich in fiber. A good plant-based fiber is best. I also like adding fiber to a diet and prefer psyllium husk fiber.
Before considering to start any cleanse there needs to be a few things that have to be in place with one's health. First you must be having regular bowel movements. If you find that you are not eliminating each day do not start any cleanse. Normal bowel movements should be three times daily after each meal. Although most Americans go around one to two times a day. If you have problems eliminating regularly you need to fix that situation before considering a cleanse.
Start off by seeking a health care professional to help you with suggestions. I love the herb Ma Zi Ren. It is a light gentle fix to constipation by moistening the intestines.
The second thing to look at before starting a cleanse is to make sure you are getting adequate rest. Our bodies naturally cleanse each day and a lot of those functions happen during the night.
In Chinese medicine we have a body clock. The liver does its thing between the hours of 1 and 3 a.m. If you are getting up in the middle of the night during this time then you may have a liver energy dysfunction. You don't need to be sleeping perfectly but you want to at least feel semi-rested before starting a cleanse.
The last thing to consider before starting a cleanse is do you have adequate energy throughout the day? If you are low in energy do not start a cleanse. Cleansing in itself can take a toll on one's body so you don't want to start off in a deficient state. You will only drag your energy down more and may get yourself sick. Make sure you are eliminating, sleeping well and have good energy before starting a cleanse.
Once you start a cleanse be sure to keep your stress levels to a minimum. You also don't want to do any strenuous exercise. Just walking is sufficient. Reduce your schedule to allow time to cleanse. Release obligations for the few weeks that you are doing a cleanse and allow your body to have adequate rest. You will only benefit more with the outcome that you desire.
There are simple ways to start a cleanse that are very easy to do on your normal schedule. First, start off every morning with a warm glass of water and a whole lemon squeezed into it. Do this for the first week with taking fiber and Probiotics at night. Then add non-sweetened cranberry juice to your water with lemon each morning. The sour taste will help not only cleanse the liver, but will also help the blood and the urinary tract and kidneys.
If you want to start a serious cleanse the best thing to do is to contact an alternative health care provider who knows about cleanses.
A lot of people can't take the dosage instructed. They must take a smaller amount based on how toxic they are. It is also important to monitor patients while doing the cleanse. Sometimes there are adjustments that need to be made throughout the process. A diet is usually recommended on serious cleanses. It all differs depending on what type of cleanse a person needs.
The benefits of doing a cleanse are having more energy, less toxic load, better sleep at night and possible weight loss. There are times where those who have serious illnesses go into remission.
We live in a very toxic world. I believe it is important to take time to cleanse at least one time a year. It can be as little as a weekend to three weeks. You may find great benefits that could change your health and well being.

Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata walked off the practice field following the team's first mandatory mini-camp Tuesday and received treatment prior to speaking with the media.
Due to the fact that a celebration ensued immediately after Super Bowl XLVII concluded, many forget that Ngata suffered a sprained knee, and was unable to participate in the greatest goal line stand in Super Bowl history.
Receiving treatments for his knee or other various extremities has become second nature for Ngata – almost as common as brushing his teeth.
Throughout the years, Ngata's offseason conditioning has been a cause for concern, but at a time where the team will need him the most, Ngata reported to mini-camp with a very encouraging figure.
"He's in good shape," head coach John Harbaugh said of Ngata. "He's right where he needs to be at this time."
Still recovering from his knee injury, Ngata has attributed his conditioning to running, not riding a bike or using an elliptical machine. Even though none of his injuries from last season required surgery, it was difficult for Ngata to play through the pain.
"It's been real tough," he said. "Especially towards the end of the season, it just limited me."
"What I wanted to do was be an explosive player, and not being able to really come off or getting off blocks well, it definitely was tough towards the end of the season, but you just fight through it."
The Ravens front office has made no qualms about using Ngata as its centerpiece for the overhaul on the defensive side of the ball. Certainly more pressure will be placed on Ngata, but his main focus is to be, by late July, better than the "80-85 percent" he stated he felt right now.
"I just want to come in in great shape," Ngata said. "After this minicamp, these next five weeks are going to be really important for me to make sure I'm in really good shape to come in and participate in camp."
When healthy, Ngata is undoubtedly one of the premier players in the NFL; however, his body has been his worst enemy at times. Undergoing proper treatments and minimizing early wear and tear on his body, Ngata should be poised to return to his previous dominant form.
"The healthier he is, the better he is going to be," Harbaugh said. "It looks to me like he's had a good offseason, and he's right on schedule."
Hearing that Ngata is "right on schedule" should be music to any fan's ears, but should be even more encouraging to a team that will try to repeat as Super Bowl champions while replacing seven starters on defense.

Twenty years before the Farrelly Brothers turned raunch into acceptable film comedy, the team of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker exploited it first. The college threesome made it big with Airplane! in 1980, but this 1977 cinematic version of their live theater show is ground zero for their talents. Like The Groove Tube, Kentucky Fried Movie is a mishmash of sketches, fake commercials, and parodies with no central theme--except their crudeness and laugh-out-loud humor. Highlights include a commercial for "Scot Free," a board game based on the Kennedy assassination conspiracy, "The Wonderful World of Sex," in which a couple goes through foreplay with a self- help narrator instructing them step by step, and a 20-minute spoof of Bruce Lee films entitled "A Fistful of Yen." Brazen to a fault, the movie will reach for any punch line, no matter how crude (and those who flocked to the film's initial release looking for R-rated sex will remember the final sketch and the infamous trailer for "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble.") Directed by then-unknown John Landis on a shoestring budget, the film has aged. But crassness, when it's this funny, is forever.
Great rippp, thanks. AV spot on
Thanx 4 the upload.

A homeless woman from Prince Albert, Sask., will remain in an Edmonton hospital for another five to six weeks as she recovers from a vicious attack.
Both of 47-year-old Marlene Bird's legs had to be amputated after she was badly burned by unknown assailants. She still faces more surgery.
Donna Brooks of the Prince Albert YWCA says three relatives have gone to Edmonton to be with Bird.
Brooks describes Bird as a regular at the homeless shelter in Prince Albert. She says Bird is known for her kindness and generosity on the streets. "She did receive a residential school settlement at the time those were being handed out and she actually ended up giving most of it away," says Brooks.
Police believe the attack happened between midnight and 10 a.m. on June 1 but so far they have no suspects.
So far, about $7,000 has been raised through online donations for Bird and her family but Brooks says there is more that can be done.
"They can raise awareness of the plight of the homeless, they can raise awareness of the missing and murdered aboriginal women, lobby their politicians, volunteer at a shelter," says Brooks.
"Was it a gang initiation? Was it an attack against women? Was it an attack against homeless people? Those are questions we are all asking ourselves around this case."

This is an interesting article written by Carmen Nobel of Harvard Business School. He goes on to pointing out that even though companies can fail, it can have positive future results for its founders as along as those individuals tried in honesty. In addition, this article goes on to describe some key fundamental mistakes often made by founders of startups when developing their business models.
It's a very important practice for us in our firm at Siskey Capital when we look at companies seeking funding that we explore management mindset thoroughly as we get to know them, and their really analyze their business model approach. We don't particularly analyze those business models for flaws or compare them with other similar industries more so, we review those business models on management's approach and realism on how they have paved their plan on achieving those goals.
A good read.

Two Republican presidential hopefuls plan to take full advantage of the days remaining before Tuesday's primary election in Illinois.
While Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich left the Land of Lincoln after campaigning during the week, both Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney will be back in Illinois on Saturday continuing their campaigns.
On Friday, Romney's campaign announced that he would be adding extra stops in Illinois after an appearance in Puerto Rico Saturday morning. He returns this evening for a Town Hall event at 6 p.m. in Collinsville.
Meanwhile, Santorum will spend Saturday morning campaigning in Missouri before crossing back over the state line for a Rally in Effingham. He will then travel south to Louisiana on Sunday, but plans to be back in Illinois by Monday for more campaign stops in the state.
Santorum is currently at a delegate disadvantage because he is not registered in four of the 18 districts that make up the state of Illinois.
Paul and Gingrich campaigned in Illinois earlier in the week following Santorum's wins in Mississippi and Alabama.
Paul's next scheduled appearance is not until Tuesday in Los Angeles where he will attend a Luncheon in Los Angeles, followed by a guest spot on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, according to his website.
Gingrich will spend Saturday campaigning in Louisiana and does not have plans to return north before the primary.
A recent poll predicted that Romney would win Illinois.

In this space, we applaud the collaboration among readers and editors. We realize that if it weren't for you, we couldn't do our job.
That's why it was a difficult decision to take down the place where you share your news and photos for a while last week.
But we did it for a good reason.
We want to improve your experience in sharing your news and photos. That's our mission – to help you share news that happens in your community.
We've instituted a change on the neighborsgo contributor blogs where you upload your news and photos for consideration for print..
We've added the captcha code form to the sign-in area of neighborsgo.com. Yes, it's one more step – a geeky one at that. But it's a necessary step in keeping your news-sharing experience positive.
The last thing we want is mischievous spammers barging in and disrupting the experience.
Getting a code
If you've bought tickets via Ticketmaster, you've used captcha. If you've used a web-based email system, you've used captcha.
So what is captcha?
It is an acronym for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. (You can see why the acronym is preferred).
To battle the online bots that are commonly used by spammers, the form provides a slightly distorted but usually distinguishable image of letters or numbers. If you have trouble making out the code, simply hit the refresh button on the code form.
Enter the code correctly, and you've successfully logged in. This puts the human element back into registration.
When you're using neighborsgo's contributor blogs, you must sign in as you usually would. But you must type in the captcha code to complete the process. As with other captcha forms, you have the option to request a new code or hear an audible version of the code. The third button offers a pop-up help window. You also can visit google.com/recaptcha/learnmore for more information.
Once you've logged in, you can post your story or photo and preview it. You'll also have to re-enter a captcha code at the bottom of the text box to save the draft or publish it. It's also possible to directly publish the post once the code is input.
Thanks for understanding
Yes, we realize that now there are additional steps to post. In the past seven years, our procedures have evolved, but we remain committed in making the news-sharing process a positive one. You'e shared thousands of stories and posts on neighborsgo.com.
We appreciate your taking the additional steps necessary in creating a neighborly environment at neighborsgo. We believe they're essential to keeping out people who have no business posting on our contributor blogs.
Our hope is that these new measures make it a more enjoyable experience for people who do have business posting on neighborsgo.com.

Shreveport Psychic Dakota Lawrence Says Predictions of Yellowstone Volcano Are a Sham
A number of stories have been circulated lately on both mainstream and social media about an impending massive volcano in Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park. The predictions are based on "unusual movement" by the park's animals and a number of nationally known psychics' predictions. But local psychic Dakota Lawrence say there's nothing to worry about.
Lawrence, a Shreveport native who's come to nationwide prominence of late, said on his Facebook page:
I love some of these people speaking of the upcoming Yellowstone explosion and now some of these "Facebook Psychics" (cue sarcasm font) are now also speaking of death and doom. Guess what folks, it's all from conspiracy websites and it's not about to happen.
Lawrence scoffs at the gloomy predictions of his contemporaries, saying: "So for the so called psychics claiming this is going to happen and quote a article that is written of ignorance please step down and let the legitimate psychics and light workers do their work."

West Ham 'ready' for Spurs warns Allardyce
SAM ALLARDYCE has warned Tottenham that West Ham will be full of confidence when they travel to White Hart Lane on Sunday.
The Hammers boss insists there were plenty of positives to take away despite watching his side being held at home to Stoke City last night.
Joey O'Brien rescued a point at Upton Park after the Hammers trailed to a first-half strike by Jonathan Walters.
Although they could have moved up to fifth in the Barclays Premier League table with a win, Allardyce was pleased with the performance.
He said: "There were a lot of players missing against Stoke City but we still put a great second-half performance together.
"In the end I thought the crowd went home a little disappointed that we didn't win it on the way we played in the second-half."
The only downside for Allardyce, was that Andy Carroll was unable to break his duck and he was substituted five minutes before the end of the game.
West Ham travel to Tottenham at 4pm this Sunday
The Hammers have amassed 19 points from their first 12 games, but the Tottenham game on Sunday kicks off a tough run of fixtures, which includes trips to Manchester United and Arsenal as well as home games against Chelsea and Liverpool.
Allardyce added: "We go to Tottenham full of confidence and hope to get some of the injured players back. We'll have to be on top of our game, as we had to be against Stoke.
"We played our top game in the second half and deserved to beat them but couldn't quite do it."

Kaffe Fassett has led an extraordinary life and is a captivating storyteller with a vivid memory. Born in 1937 in San Francisco, he spent much of his youth in Big Sur, where his parents bought a log cabin from Orson Welles and transformed it into the world-famous Nepenthe restaurant, a gathering place of artists of all sorts (Kaffe has many stories to tell about mingling with the likes of Olivia de Havilland, Elizabeth Taylor, and Henry Miller). After attending a boarding school run by the disciples of Krishunamurti, an Indian guru, he studied painting on scholarship at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, but left after less than one year and traveled to England, where he ultimately made his home. After struggling to make a living as a fine artist for several years, Fassett met the fashion designer Bill Gibb and began designing knitwear for his collection. He went on to design knitwear for Missoni and for private clients like Lauren Bacall, Shirley MacLaine, and Barbra Streisand, and to revolutionise the hand knitting world with his explosive use of color. Further explorations led him to needlepoint, mosaics, rug-making, yarn and fabric design, set design and quilting.
Now in his 70s, Fassett continues to produce new work in his studio in London and to travel worldwide to teach and lecture. This intimate autobiography is lavishly filled with Fassett's amazing stories about his bohemian childhood, his hard-earned rise to fame, and all of his creative pursuits. It includes photos of him throughout his life (including his stint as a model in Paris), his home (which is an artwork in itself), his work (everything from childhood drawings to pencil sketches, to oil paintings, to massive tapestries and set designs, to hand knits and quilts) as well as the people and places around the world that have inspired him.

Sierra County, California Criminal Records
Potential employers will always be interested in reviewing a job applicant's public record before offering them employment, while a spouse or significant other may be interested in their mate's background as well. In either case, both parties can or will conduct a background check on the target individual. A background check using fingerprints or a social security number is far more reliable and accurate in returning useful information about a person's past than a standard name-based search. Criminal records, unless they have been previously sealed by a judge, are usually readily available to the public and will appear on most background checks. Also, sex offenders are required by law to register with law enforcement, so their past activities would show up when searching public records in a background check. Once the background check is completed, the private citizen and hiring company can then make the necessary determination about the individual in question, and have a more accurate picture of their true character and moral fitness.
Court Records
Any background check that is thorough, complete, and contains up to date information will include a county's court records. Court records have always been regarded as public records, and most superior courts will allow the general public access. To gain access to the court records archived with the Sierra County Superior Court, go the following address: 100 Courthouse Square, Downieville, California 95936. The main telephone number to the courthouse is 530-289-3698, and the fax number is 289-0205. You can find additional information about cases pertaining to the Sierra County Superior Court online at their website, located here: http://www.sierracourt.org/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx.
Public Records
One other readily available and useful source of public records for a background check is criminal records on file with the county sheriff. To contact the Sierra County Sheriff's Office, you can travel to the following address: 100 Courthouse Square, Downieville, California 95936. You can call the sheriff's office at 530-289-3700, or fax the sheriff at 530-289-3700. E-mail inquiries to the Sierra County Sheriff should be directed to the following address: firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are an internet user and are interested in visiting the sheriff's county webpage, click the following link: http://www.sierracounty.ws/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=25&MMN_position=37:37.
Online Resources
During your background check, you may need to know for certain that the target individual is not involved, affiliated, or under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Corrections as an offender or parolee. The California DOC has setup an online search tool for this purpose, and web users can access it by clicking the following link: http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Reports_Research/Inmate_Locator.html.
Those individuals who may be applying for a job and wish to know what their background check contains in advance can order their own online through the California Department of Justice. The process is straightforward and explained in detail at the following webpage: http://ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/security.php. Note that you will be required to pay $25.00 per copy.
In addition to personal background checks, the California DOJ also offers fingerprint-based background checks, as required by many organizations in California. Go to the following webpage for all of the details: http://ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/.
To run a search for California registered sex offenders through the Megan's Law sex offender database, you can click here to be transported to the search webpage: http://www.meganslaw.ca.gov/.

Mark Bacon & Dana Wells' Silver Max, winner
of the $125,000 Arlington Classic, the first leg of the Mid-America
Triple on May 28, returns to the local oval in pursuit of that series'
second leg, the Grade III $200,000 American Derby on Saturday.
The American Derby will be run at a mile and three-sixteenths over
Arlington's world famous turf course and serves as the final local prep
for the Grade I $500,000 Secretariat Stakes, which will be held Aug. 18
as part of the one-day International Festival of Racing.
The race is one of four major stakes that comprise the track's
Million Preview Day program. In addition to the American Derby, the
12-race card includes the Grade III $200,000 Arlington Handicap, the
Grade III $150,000 Modesty Handicap and the Grade III $150,000 Stars and
Stripes. As an added bonus, the 1-2-3 finishers in the American Derby
will have their entry and starting fees waived for the Secretariat
should they elect to run in that event next month.
Since winning the Arlington Classic in May, Silver Max was sent to
Indiana Downs where he was a decisive victor in the $200,000 Oliver
Stakes. The son of Badge of Silver is one of three entrants from the
Dale Romans' stable – the other two being Albaugh Family Stable's Oliver
Stakes runner-up Cozzetti and Michael Bruder's recent allowance winner
Quick Wit, who was previously third in the Grade III Hutcheson on dirt
at Gulfstream Park.
Robby Albarado has been named to ride Silver Max while Shaun
Bridgmohan will be aboard Cozzetti and Alan Garcia is slated to partner
with Quick Wit.
Cathy and Bob Zollars' Daddy Knows Best returns to the turf after
finishing 10th in the Grade I Kentucky Derby, presented by Yum! Brands,
and ninth in the Grade I Preakness Stakes. The Steve Asmussen-trained
winner of the Grade III Sunland Derby would be trying turf for the first
time in 2012 after winning two of six starts over the surface last
year. Julien Leparoux will ride the son of Scat Daddy in the American
Manganaro LLC & Woodford Racing LLC's Sachem Spirit, runner-up in
the Arlington Classic, could be tough with a better break than he
experienced here in May when he was bumped and squeezed at the start,
placing him much farther back than the son of Mr. Greely is used to.
Corey Lanerie will ride the Neil Howard trainee.
Others in the field for the American Derby (with riders listed) are:
Jim Tafel's All Stormy (Rosemary Homeister Jr.), third in an allowance
race after finishing fifth in the Arlington Classic; Olympia Star's
Macho Bull (Francisco Torres), third in the Grade III Iowa Derby two
weeks ago; Bluegrass Hall's Skyring (Joel Rosario), winner of the
$100,000 James W. Murphy Stakes at Pimlico on Preakness Day; Ashbrook
Farm's Southern Parkway (James Graham), a winner in a first-level turf
allowance at Churchill Downs last out; and Midwest Thoroughbred's
state-bred The Pizza Man, (Seth Martinez), winner of three straight in
restricted company.
