Thales has significant credentials in the Maritime Security and Safety (MSS) market and leverages on the core Thales business areas of Security and Mission Critical systems worldwide :
- A unique vision based on understanding the Customers operational needs, based on a team of maritime experts (Navy, Coast Guards…), previously in charge of Maritime Safety and Security Operations. Each maritime solution is tailored to the specific operational requirements of the related missions and users
- Modular Maritime Solutions: Open architecture allows to integrate new equipments, information systems, all existing customer legacies (equipment, existing assets and infra structures), interoperation with external systems and databases, and to meet changing operational requirements with easy upgrade capability
- A collaborative approach supported by multi-domestic presence to ensure adequate level of service and anticipate future needs (domestic presence, Transfer of Technology and long term local partnership experience)
Thales masters all the segments of the MSS domain, including Maritime Traffic Safety, Sensitive Asset Protection, Maritime Surveillance and Coordination of information, systems and operations.
Maritime traffic safety systems
With today's increasing maritime traffic, ensuring the safety of people, goods and vessels from port of departure to final destination requires solutions to help respond to collision prevention and response, pollution prevention and response, and search and rescue. Thales maritime traffic safety systems offer the following benefits to customers :
- Integrated Vessel Traffic Service
- Navigational risk detection to support operators
- Mission planning tools with multiple stakeholders
- Improved resource allocation for greater efficiency and cost savings
Critical asset protection systems
The protection of people, goods and assets - such as harbours, Oil & Gas infrastructures (off-shore platforms, FPSO…), vessels, and naval bases - is crucial. Land and waterside open areas, scattered facilities and responsibilities, and the complex flow of people, goods and vessels, are challenges that also need to be responded to. Thales has the answer to these requirements and provides its clients with integrated systems from detection to offering :
- Comprehensive protection (underwater, surface, land, air)
- Correlation with intelligence data
- Information management to support the man in the loop
- >ISPS compliance
- No disruption of economic activity
- Increased operational efficiency
Maritime surveillance systems
Authorities need to protect interests in Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ), territorial waters, rivers and lakes against resource plundering, smuggling, illegal immigration, piracy, and terrorism. They also need to tackle the challenges of large and unrestricted navigational areas, small and non-cooperative objects taking advantage of dense maritime activity to conceal their actions, the need for increased detection notice, interactions with multiple resources and agencies, and complex legal aspects. Thales's integrated solutions, spanning from detection to response, include the following key capabilities to support maritime surveillance:
- Comprehensive Maritime Operational Picture based on networks of sensor sites and centres (local, regional…)
- Full coverage with wide choice of platforms (coastal, airborne, satellite…) depending on operational requirements
- Correlation with intelligence data
- Abnormal behaviour detection to support operators
- Integration of assets (patrol boats, helicopters, aircrafts…)
- Improved resource allocation for greater efficiency and cost savings
Coordination of information, systems and operations
In today's increasingly interconnected world, joint surveillance and operations involving multiple sources of information, geographical areas and responsibilities are ever more common. Combined efforts are undertaken for operations such as crisis management (e.g. oil spill) or the fight against organised crime (smuggling, illegal immigration, piracy, terrorism…). The success of joint actions relies on the ability to anticipate and respond to events affecting or taking advantage of multiple locations and responsibility areas, preserve the individual vision and responsibilities of the different stakeholders, keep control of information ownership, and to sort and present the relevant information to the right operator. Thales's integrated solutions, based on Service Oriented Architecture and web services, allows for:
- Selective Data Dissemination, on a need-to-know basis, to support multi agency cooperation
- Comprehensive Maritime Operational Picture based on multiple systems and databases
- Access to services (weather, environment, intelligence…)
- Improved notice and response, for greater mission efficiency and cost savings

There are 34 recommended Artists in North Carolina. Read reviews from people you know to find the best Artist.
Wes DJ'd my son's wedding at the Elks Lodge last July. As the former manager there, I know for a fact that a DJ can make or break a party. I have witnessed many, many DJ's and Wes was by far the BEST one I have seen. So many DJ's feel just playing music is all that is needed. He is very proactive, leading dances and conga lines. He had EVERYONE up and dancing and the party kept going up until the last song. I would HIGHLY recommend Wes!See MoreRead Less

Frank is a great guy. He is honest and trustworthy, very dedicated and a hard worker. Frank is a Mason so you know he believes in God and he is also a Shriner. Frank was elected to be the Master of the Masonic lodge in Raleigh and also became the President of the Wake County Shrine Club. He did a fantastic job at both. Frank is a great guy to know and work with. I worked with Frank when he was captain of the "Skat Cats", which is a group of Shriners that road 3-wheelers in all the holiday parades to raise money for the Children's Hospital. I later became Captain and Frank was a great resource to help me keep the show on the road.

Fred is a creative thinker, sensitive, and humorous...
I met Sadie several years ago while assisting in a memorial service and tribute to a local young Army sergeant who was killed in action in Afghanistan. Sadie knew this man very well and was instrumental in assisting him in continuing his education and eventually enlisting in military service, a profession the young man loved. Her efforts in the memorial service included securing speakers and providing the sound system and arranging and playing the music used in the service. Her assistance was essential to the success of the service and she performed her duties in an exemplar fashion. Another, more inclusive service was held for the young soldier the next year and Sadie repeated the same tasks in the same professional ,compassionate manner.See MoreRead Less

Ukrainian VOD service Megogo.net has announced its user numbers for 2012.
In December 2012 Megogo.net had more than 13 million unique users compared with its target for the month of two million. By January 2013 its monthly audience had grown to 17.5 million viewers, and in February 2013 it was 20 million. For the whole of 2012 Megogo.net had more than 75 million unique users.
Vladimir Borovik, CEO of Megogo.net, said increased user numbers were down to several reasons, including the addition of popular cartoons from Soyuzmultfilm studio, the London Olympics, and catch-up of popular TV shows.
"This year we will show even more hits," Borovik added. "For example, we have contracts with the BBC and Euronews, we are in negotiations with other great studios, and we have started broadcasting basketball Super League matches.
"Today Megogo.net has more than 200 contracts with owners and the site has 20,000 hours of video, making it one of the biggest in the countries of CIS and the Baltic states, and second in Russia."
During 2012 Megogo.net opened regional offices in Russia, the Baltic countries, Central Asia, Belarus and the Caucasus. It also opened access to its content for people around the world.
The company says that one of its significant advances in 2012 was going multi-platform. It released apps for iPads and iPhones, and Android devices, plus a VOD service app for smart TVs from LG, Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and Philips.

Punk Band Film Porn on Westboro Baptist Church's Front Yard
The band Get Shot filmed the action with bassist Laura Lush in broad daylight, but the 'God Hates Fags' group have since installed a security system so it won't happen again.
A punk band have found the perfect way to strike back at the unpleasant Westboro Baptist Church - by shooting a porn film on their front yard. According to Spin (via NME) the punk group Get Shot, who call themselves "the sleaziest punk band in the world" and run their own porn site Get Shot Girls, managed to film their bassist Laura Lush masturbating in their garden. "The Phelps family and Westboro Baptist Church are ridiculous and do nothing except spread hate and cause controversy," said Lush. "As a bisexual woman and the bass player of a ridiculous punk band, I wanted to spread my legs and cause controversy." The band hope to return with more girls, but mother of the family Margie Phelps says they've installed a new security system to ward off any sexual sinners:
@slsf617 Westboro is at full alert. @brotimtlm is installing cam's all along the perimeter of our compound. cc:@GETSHOTGIRLS .
— Margie Phelps (@MargieJPhelps) October 4, 2013
Get Shot have since been signed by Monarchy Distribution, according to a new Facebook update.

Government's Confused Approach To Recycling
December 5, 1995
Some government rules actually discourage recycling, according to some environmentalists and free-market advocates. One law may mandate the use of recycled materials in certain products, even as another law may forbid used content in other goods.
- The law requires the Food and Drug Administration to make sure that food packaging materials are "suitably pure," putting recycled materials at a disadvantage under this vague standard compared with virgin materials.
- Critics also charge that the FDA's review process is too lengthy and its standards are too strict concerning use of recycled materials in food packaging.
- Many recyclable materials are subject to hazardous waste laws if they are "discarded," but the EPA has determined that selling something to a recycler is discarding it.
- Due to government regulations and definitions, those who deal in recyclable materials often have to shoulder greater cost burdens than those who deal in virgin materials -- thus giving a competitive edge to the latter.
- Local building codes at times favor the use of virgin materials in construction over recycled ones, such as in piping.

Next month's $4 million Breeders' Cup Classic figures to attract some of the world's best horses. But the one who has beaten the best looks to be a no-show for the big show.
Perfect Drift completed a one-two punch against top rivals in the handicap division with a thoroughly impressive victory over Congaree in Saturday's $350,000 Kentucky Cup Classic at Turfway Park in northern Kentucky. Back in June, Perfect Drift also beat Mineshaft fair and square in the Stephen Foster at Churchill Downs.
Going into the weekend's action, Mineshaft was tied for No. 1 in the World Thoroughbred Rankings and Congaree was in a tie for No. 3. Perfect Drift, not rated in the top 10, is the only horse who has beaten both those rivals this year.
In Saturday's Effort, jockey Pat Day kept Perfect Drift right behind Congaree until the pair entered the far turn. Never once raising his whip, Day sent Perfect Drift past the pacesetter with no trouble and the 4-year-old son of Dynaformer won by 1 length in a hand ride.
"We tracked the leaders and since he has a tendency to hang, I wanted to run right by Congaree," said Day. "He was in hand to the wire. It was an awesome effort."
Despite his stellar record this year on the main track, trainer Murray Johnson is sticking to his guns that Perfect Drift won't be in the field for the Classic on Oct. 25 at Santa Anita.
"We're probably going to miss this year," Johnson said, citing the entry fees for the Classic. He said that decision doesn't preclude sending Perfect Drift to the big dance in 2004, when the Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships will be run at Lone Star Park in Texas.
In other weekend racing with potential implications for the Breeders' Cup WorldThoroughbred Championships:
$2 million Nextel Distaff
--Smok'n Frolic rebounded from a thrashing in her last outing at Saratoga to win Saturday's $175,000 Turfway Park Breeders' Cup impressively. After pressing the early pace, the 4-year-old Smoke Glacken filly drew off in the stretch, winning by -- lengths over Awesome Humor. So Much More was a non-threatening third. The Todd Pletcher trainee scored her third victory in nine outings this year.
--Trainer Bobby Frankel saddled Wild Spirit and You to a 1-2 finish in Saturday's $300,000 Ruffian Handicap at Belmont Park but didn't seem wildly spirited about sending either of the fillies on to the Breeders' Cup. You led the way in the Ruffian but surrendered to lead to her stablemate on the turn for home. Wild Spirit drew clear to win by 3 1/2 lengths. Passing Shot was well back in third. Wild Spirit, a 4-year-old Chilean-bred filly, finished the 1 1/16 mile in 1:41.23. Frankel said Wild Spirit will go in the $750,000 Beldame on Oct. 4 and, if she wins that, "why would I need to go to the Breeders' Cup with her and put up all that money?" He said You may run in the $500,000 Spinster at Keeneland on Breeders' Cup day.
$1 million Sprint
--Cajun Beat took over the lead turning for home in Saturday's $100,000 Kentucky Cup Sprint at Turfway Park, opening up a big advantage in the stretch and held on to beat Clock Stopper by 3/4 length. The favorite, Champali, was another 3 1/2 lengths back in third. Cajun Beat, a 3-year-old son of Grand Slam, finished the 6 furlongs in 1:09.54 after tracking a quick early pace. The gelding had not raced since July 12, when he finished second to Valid Video in the Carry Back Stakes at Calder. He now has won four of 10 lifetime starts, including three of eight this year.
--During came three-wide on the stretch turn in Saturday's $150,000 Jerome Handicap for 3-year-olds at Belmont Park, got the lead and then held on gamely to beat Tafaseel by 3/4 length. The favorite, Pretty Wild, was third. During, a son of Cherokee Run, finished the one-turn mile in 1:36.32 under Jose Santos. Unraced as a 2-year-old, he has won four of his 11 starts this year, at distances from 6 to 11 furlongs, including the Grade II Swaps Stakes at Hollywood Park in July. Santos said the Bob Baffert-trained colt "fought the whole, entire stretch. Tafaseel put in a good run but my horse wouldn't let him by."
--Bauhauser got the lead in Saturday's $100,000 Floral Park Handicap for fillies and mares and wouldn't surrender it, upsetting odds-on favorite Shine Again by 3/4 length. Literary Light was third. Bauhauser, a 5-year-old, Argentine-bred mare, ran 6 furlongs in 1:10.84. "She's been a nice surprise since the owners bought her," said Scott Blasi, assistant to winning trainer Steve Asmussen. Allen Jerkens, who trains Shine Again, the No. 9-rated sprinter in the world, said his filly "is probably better at 7 furlongs. I thought she would beat these horses today."
--On Thursday at Belmont, Shake You Down rolled to a 5 3/4-length victory in a confidence-building allowance race. Rated No. 2 in the Sprint division behind Aldebaran, Shake You Down ran 6 furlongs in 1:08 2/5. Trainer Scott Lake said Shake You Down will go directly to the Breeders' Cup.
$1 million NetJets Mile (turf)
--Touch of the Blues got a clean trip for a change in Sunday's $1 million (Canadian) Atto Mile. With Kent Desormeaux calling the shots, the 6-year-old son of Cadeaux Genereux came wide into the stretch to ensure running room, then outfinished Soaring Free to win by 1/2 length. Perfect Soul was third and the Canadian Triple Crown winner, Wando, finished fourth as the favorite. Touch of the Blues completed the mile in 1:33.39. "It's lovely to come up here and win," said trainer Neil Drysdale. "His schedule is the same as last year. He'll go in the Shadwell Mile (Oct. 4 at Keeneland) next and then we'll see. Maybe we'll go in the Breeders' Cup." In his last outing before the Atto Mile, Touch of the Blues set a track record at Del Mar in the Wickerr Stakes Aug. 2. In last year's Atto, however, he was blocked during the stretch run, finishing fifth.
--Della Francesca upset Saturday's $200,000 Belmont Breeders' Cup Handicap, racing from off the pace to win by 1 1/2 lengths over Rouvres. Volponi, the defending champ in the Breeders' Cup Classic - who had posted five straight second-place finishes since that massive upset - regressed in the change of racing surfaces, checking in third. Della Francesca, a 4-year-old son of Danzig out of an Affirmed mare, ran the 9 furlongs on the inner turf course in 1:47.48. Trainer Niall O'Callaghan said the Pennsylvania-bred "loves it when he runs at a horse. He thinks it's a game." He said he probably would need more graded stakes earnings to get into the Breeders' Cup and might race at Keeneland in search of that boost. Della Francesca is owned by University of Louisville basketball Coach Rick Pitino's Ol Memorial Stable.
$1 million Filly & Mare Turf
--Aud upset Saturday's $175,000 Pucker Up Stakes at Arlington Park, moving between horses and drawing off to win by 1 3/4 lengths over Hail Hillary. Julie's Prize was third and Hoh Buzzard, with Gary Stevens up, was fourth. It was Stevens' first appearance at Arlington since he was tossed and trampled at the finish of the Arlington Million a month earlier. "The idea," said winning rider Brian Peck, "was to make one last run and that's what happened. Everything worked out for us." Trainer Tony Reinstedler said he gave Aud a "little freshening" after her last race - a ninth-place finish in the Lake George Stakes at Saratoga.
--Mezzo Soprano, a full sister to Rahy and a half to Singspiel, won Sunday's Prix Vermeille for 3-year-old fillies at Longchamp in Paris by a head over Yesterday. Mezzo Soprano, from the Godolphin Racing stable, ran 1 1/2 mile on "good to soft" turf in 2:26 1/5 under Frankie Dettori. Godolphin Racing Manager Simon Crisford said no decision has been made on where to send the filly next.
--At Woodbine, Inish Glora recovered from a bobble at the start and went on to win Sunday's $250,000 (Canadian) Canadian Handicap by 1 3/4 length over Volga. Diadella was third. Inish Glora, a 5-year-old daughter of Regal Classic, ran the 9 furlongs on firm turf in 1:44.56.
$1 million Juvenile Fillies
--Marylebone, with Edgar Prado up, rallied four-wide into the stretch and was just up in time to win Sunday's $200,000 Matron Stakes at Belmont Park. Lokyoa, who battled for the lead down the stretch, was second, a nose behind. Eye Dazzler was a well-beaten third. Marylebone, a Kentucky-bred daughter of Unbridled's Song, ran the 1 mile in 1:38.02. Todd Pletcher trains both Marylebone and Lokoya. "I hate those situations," Pletcher said. "The fillies were separated by an inch. Unfortunately, it couldn't have been a dead heat." Marylebone now has won both her starts. "I really had to motivate her once we were outside," said Prado. "She's still got room for improvement."
--Class Above, making only her second career start, dominated the $100,000 Kentucky Cup Juvenile Fillies Saturday at Turfway Park. After a stalking trip, jockey Edgar Prado sent the daughter of Quiet American to the lead on the turn for home and she responded with a flourish, drawing clear quickly to win by 16 lengths. Class Above, owned by Satish Sanan's Padua Stables, ran the 1 mile in 1:39.04. "She's very special," said trainer Bob Baffert. "It was sort of any easy go today. We'll just keep her happy and hopefully she runs like this on Breeders' Cup day." Renaissance Lady was second in Saturday's race and Sweet Jo Jo was third.
$1.5 million Bessemer Trust Juvenile
--Cuvee answered the initial question about his ability to get a distance of ground by winning Sunday's $200,000 Futurity at Belmont Park by 8 1/4 lengths over Value Plus. With Jerry Bailey asking him for run, the Carson City colt finished the one-turn mile in 1:35.75. The Futurity was Cuvee's first start beyond 6 1/2 furlongs and backed up his easy victory in the Saratoga Special last month. "It was a great effort," said Bailey. "Equally impressive was when he got to the leader, he put his ears up and waited for me to ask him to run. I'm impressed. He's a nice horse." Trainer Steve Asmussen said Cuvee will get a final few works in Kentucky before shipping to California for the Breeders' Cup.
--Pomeroy held on gamely through the final sixteenth of Saturday's $100,000 Kentucky Cup Juvenile at Turfway Park and finished first, only to be set down by the stewards for interference at the top of the stretch. The decision awarded the victory to longshot Mr. Jester, a Louisiana invader. The Cliff's Edge finished third, then was moved up to second. Mr. Jester is a son of Silver Deputy, trained by Steve Wren. He came into the race with two wins and a second from three starts, all at Louisiana Downs and none longer than 5 1/2 furlongs. Pomeroy,
a son of Boundary, also had two wins from three previous starts, including a second-place finish in the Saratoga Special in his last outing.
--Siphonizer got to he lead inside the furlong pole in Wednesday's $250,000 Del Mar Futurity and held off Minister Eric to win by 1/2 length. Perfect Moon was third. Cooperation, the favorite, and Gulf of Mexico completed the order of finish. Siphonizer, a Kentucky-bred son of Siphon, ran 7 furlongs in 1:23.10 under Julie Krone. Richard Mandella trains both ends of the exacta. "We'll look at the races at (Santa Anita's) Oak Tree," Mandella said of Siphonizer's future. "Right now, I'm pointing for the Norfolk and it'll either be that and the Breeders' Cup or just the Breeders' Cup."
--In Ireland, One Cool Cat drew off in the late going to score a 1-length victory in Sunday's National Stakes for 2-year-olds at The Curragh. Trained by Aidan O'Brien and ridden by Mick Kinane, One Cool Cat ran the 7 furlongs on "good to firm" turf in 1:23 1/5. O'Brien said the Storm Cat colt will get the rest of the year off.
--Paddington rallied to challenge the leaders on the turn for home in Saturday's $55,000 Whirling Ash Stakes at Delaware Park, then accelerated through the stretch to win by 5 lengths over Capejinsky. Venizia was third. Paddington, a Kentucky-bred son of Saint Ballado, trained by Michael Dickinson, ran the 1 mile on a sloppy track in 1:37.71.
--At Monmouth Park, Lissau spent most of Sunday's $50,000 Smoke Glacken Stakes holding off Boston Brahmin, finally winning by 1/2 length. Lissau, a Kentucky-bred son of Honour and Glory, finished the 6 furlongs on a fast track in 1:09.90. The colt is trained by Linda Rice.
In other weekend racing:
Miss Crissy survived some tight quarters during Saturday's $125,000 (Canadian) La Prevoyante Stakes at Woodbine and came away a 1 1/2-length winner over Kabul. My Sweet Tooch was third in the 1-mile turf test for 3-year-old, Ontario-bred fillies. Miss Crissy, a daughter of Bold n'Flashy, finished in 1:36.28.
Sunday, Bachelor Blues led all the way to an upset victory in the $250,000 (Canadian) Summer Stakes for 2-year-olds. With Todd Kabel in the irons, the Smoke Glacken colt led by as much as 3 lengths, then held on to beat Victory Light to the wire by a neck. Commendation finished third but was disqualified for interference in the turn, promoting America America to the show position. Bachelor Blues ran the 1 mile on firm turf in 1:34.95.
Prairie Meadows
Wiggins let the early speed go in Saturday's $75,000 Prairie Meadows Derby, then went to work when asked by jockey Eddie Razo Jr., got the lead and won by 2 1/2 lengths. Morning Merry was second and Rubianos Image finished third. Wiggins, an Illinois-bred son of Cartwright, ran the 1 1/16 mile in 1:44.35. "We didn't want him out on the lead," said winning owner Ronald Schwed. But we didn't want him too far back, either." Trainer Tony Granitz said he is pointing Wiggins to the Indiana Derby. "I thought this was the best place to come. It's under the lights and it would give us a shot at a mile and a sixteenth."
In Friday's $75,000 Prairie Meadows Oaks, Shot Gun Favorite came from off the pace and won a stretch battle with Leaseholders Dream to score a neck victory. Halory Leigh was a distant third. Shot Gun Favorite, a Florida-bred miss by Eltish, trained by Kenny McPeek, got the 1 1/16 mile in 1:44.02. "When I asked her, she gave me a real nice punch," said winning jockey Terry Thompson, who turned down mounts at the Kentucky Cup to remain in Iowa. "I thought halfway down the stretch I had it won easy.
Calder Race Course
Formal Miss took back in the early going in Saturday's $75,000 Judy's Red Shoes, then rallied through the stretch and drew off to win by 3 3/4 lengths over Dakota Light. Miss Tassy was third in the 1 1/16-mile turf test for 3-year-old fillies. Formal Miss, a Florida-bred daughter of Formal Dinner, was clocked in 1:45.36 on "good" going. "When you run that way, you don't always get through (traffic)," said winning trainer Paul Maxwell. "But this is the way she wants to be ridden." He said he will send Formal Miss to the Calder Oaks on Oct. 11.
Bay Meadows
Cellamare rallied from near the back of the pack to win Saturday's $60,000 Carmel Handicap for 3-year-old fillies by 1 length over Frisco Belle. Hippogator was third. Cellamare, a French-bred filly, finished the 1 1/16 mile on firm turf in 1:44.55. "I had a perfect trip," said winning rider Jose Valdivia Jr. "She was pulling at me and it was just a matter of when I wanted to let her go." Trainer Frank Monteleone said he will "look at a stakes at Oak Tree next" for the filly, who is owned in part by New York Yankees Manager Joe Torre.
Conservation got to the rail at mid-stretch in Saturday's $60,000 Humphrey Finney Stakes for Maryland-bred 3-year-olds and worked clear of pace-setting Cheverly Gold to win by 3 lengths. Foufa's Warrior, the odds-on favorite, finished third. Conservation, a son of Tamayaz, trained by Barclay Tagg, ran the 1 1/8 mile on a sloppy track in 1:51.78. The race came off the turf. Tagg said the victory was doubly impressive because of the conditions. "I shod him the turf yesterday," Tagg said, "and I didn't want to re-shoe him because his feet are a little brittle. The jock (Enrique Jurado) did a good job."
Monmouth Park
Jersey Giant came from last in a field of just four starters to win Saturday's $50,000 Skip Trial Stakes by a head over Abreeze. Seattle Glory was third and Roger E faded to finish last after leading through the early furlongs. Jersey Giant, a 4-year-old, New Jersey-bred son of Evening Kris, ran the 1 1/16 mile in 1:41.04.
Also Saturday, Impolite got the lead at the top of the stretch in the $50,000 Joseph Buckelew Stakes for 3-year-old fillies and won off by 1 3/4 lengths over Six Pack Sally.

Arlington Park
Al's Dearly Bred rallied from off the pace to win Sunday's $45,000 Golden Pheasant Stakes by a neck. The 6-year-old son of Waquoit was timed in 1:39.56 over "soft" turf, picking up his second overnight stakes victory of the meeting. Holy Conflict held second after leading in the stretch and Mercenary was third.
Retama Park
The favorites finished second in both ends of Saturday's Texas Stallion Stakes. In the $45,000 colts and geldings division, Fitzroyal led almost all the way and then pulled clear in the stretch to win by 7 3/4 lengths over the pari-mutuel favorite, Most Feared. Fitrzroyal, a 4-year-old son of Desert Royalty, ran 7 furlongs in 1:23.07. In the $45,000 fillies and mares division, Lady Mallory came from well back to collar front-running favorite Eagle Lake in mid-stretch, then roared off to win by 10 3/4 lengths. Eagle Lake held second with Hay Allison third. Lady Mallory, a 3-year-old daughter of Leo Castilli, was clocked in 1:23.34.
Kentucky Downs

What Are You Doing to Save the Planet?
The world is facing a water crisis, but just how serious is the problem? In India, only 33% of the country's population has access to basic sanitation – besides, about 21% of diseases are spread through unclean drinking water. The more wells we dig, the worse is the impact on groundwater levels. What's even more worrying is that the country's population is expected to hit 1.6 billion by 2050, prompting the water situation to deteriorate further!
The earth is our home, providing us with all we need to live – it is only fair to give back to it by being eco-conscious and conserving its resources. Hence, I bring to you a quick list of things you can do to save water and be an environmentally responsible citizen of the world.
Conserve while washing
You can save a lot of water while washing your dishes and clothes. While washing dishes, set aside two buckets of water – one for actually washing the dishes and another to rinse them afterwards. You may finish by placing the utensils under some running water for better cleaning. The trick is to use a continuous supply of (running) water only sparingly. Consider washing your clothes only when your washing machine (front loaders are more efficient than top loaders) is fully loaded with laundry – this little trick can help save gallons of water. The same approach works with dishwashing machines as well.
Watering etiquette
Instead of throwing out wet vegetable waste, use it to make compost for your little garden or lawn – this increases the water retention capacity of the soil. Water your plants in the morning or the evening to reduce evaporation. Try adjusting the settings on your sprinkler to minimize water wastage. Wash all your vegetables and fruits in a container filled with water while skipping using running water from a faucet – later, water your plants with this water to avoid unnecessary wastage.
Monitor that bath
If you have many pet animals, give them a bath together. It takes more water to fill a bathtub than to use a shower, so take short showers while using the bathtub only occasionally. Check your toilets and faucets for leaks and get them fixed immediately. Insulate your water pipes to ensure quicker hot water supply from the geyser – this way, you will waste lesser cool water while running yourself a bath. Choose water regulating showers and taps that allow a slower flow. Also, turn off the faucet when you are brushing or shaving i.e. when you do not actually need the water.
It has been one of the sultriest summers yet in the country, and saving water is one of the few ways we can prevent the situation from escalating further. The key to water conservation is a robust, efficient plumbing system for your home and offices – make sure yours is in shipshape by having one of our trained professionals take a look at it.

Stop the meddling, Governor
Published 4:50 pm, Thursday, December 26, 2013
Gov. Jerry Brown needs to better explain - or, better yet, drop - a secret veto power his office is using to review employee discrimination cases. The notion that California's top elected figure can interfere with workplace grievances brought by state workers intrudes on the work of the public agency assigned that job. State investigators need a free hand - not political interference - to do their job.
It's more than just a theoretical problem. Since 2008, when former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's office quietly began reviewing discrimination claims, the numbers of cases brought by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing have plummeted. Accusations brought against public employers - generally for issues such as race, age or sex discrimination - dropped from 15 percent of the cases handled by the agency to just 1 percent.
Brown's office denies any special handling intended to limit the bad publicity, legal trouble or financial damages that might flow from a job bias claim. The governor's team indicated the reviews were conducted to better manage looming disputes.
- San Jose police may face class-action lawsuit over sex stingKTVU2
- Why are more women coming forward with cases of sexual misconduct?KTVU2
- Pacifica father searches for his 14-year-old daughterFoxLA
- Sacred Heart San Jose hands out holiday dinners to those in needFoxLA
- Officials: Plane that crashed in San Jose home had engine troubleKTVU2
- Hell's Angels FBI raid leads to racketeering indictmentsKTVU2
- Steinle trial: closing argumentsKTVU2
- Crows flocking around Vallejosfgate
- Interview: Johnny MoseleyKTVU2
- Interview: James Person, Korean Relations ExpertKTVU2
But the policy remains draped in secrecy, the very opposite of the transparent and forthright spirit that government should display in these cases.
At issue is a review power taken up by Schwarzenegger and continued by Brown that obliges the state agency handling discrimination claims to submit each case for review. Defenders of the review say it alerts Sacramento's top lawmaker to possible trouble that could be headed off by negotiation and settlement instead of lengthy official proceedings.
But it also amounts to unwarranted interference. Instead of carrying out an independent investigation of claims brought by state workers, the agency is asking the governor's office to size up the charges and pass judgment.
This veto power came to light in a report by a legislative review body, the Senate Office of Oversight and Outcomes, during a review of the fair employment agency. The state agency wouldn't say how many times the veto power was used by the Schwarzenegger administration. But since Brown's team took office three years ago, one case was denied, four went forward and five were withdrawn after the cases were settled. No details on the one blocked case were released.
The situation "constitutes unequal treatment for public employees, creates a potential for abuse, and compromises (the state fair employment agency's) statutory independence," the report said. "Taken to its extreme, it allows a California governor, in effect, to exempt public agencies from the state's antidiscrimination law."
The number of cases passed up to the governor's office for review may sound small, but the pattern of seeking approval from political figures is disturbing. Sacramento should view a claim of unfair treatment on the job or in the housing market with impartiality and thoroughness. That obligation is clouded by a hidden role for the governor's team.
Brown should explain why his office needs to insert itself into a system better left to run its own inquiries. A secret veto should have no place.

Ralphs Grocery Co. and picketing in California
By Timothy Ryan, Morrison & Foerster
California, like only a few other states, protects the right of free speech, reasonably exercised, in large regional shopping malls. In 1979, the California Supreme Court concluded that such shopping centers are the equivalent of "public forums," available to the public to exercise their rights under the California Constitution. Robins v. Pruneyard, 23 Cal. 3d 899. On the other hand, the Court has also ruled in a number of cases that this free speech right does not exist at smaller shopping centers, strip malls and other retail locations. Retailers not located in large regional shopping malls can lawfully eject anyone from their property. Thus, a retailer in California can exclude or eject religious groups, abortion protestors, vendors, even the Girl Scouts from its property if it chooses to do so. But, until recently, retailers were stymied when labor unions came on their property, stood in front of entrances and exits, and passed out leaflets and picketed. Conduct, which any other group could be prevented from doing, was unstoppable under California law when the group was a labor union.
Two California statutes prevented a court from intervening when a labor union trespassed on retail property, except in the most dire circumstances. The Moscone Act, passed in 1975, declares that "peaceful patrolling or picketing" relating to a labor dispute is legal and a court has no jurisdiction to issue an injunction preventing the conduct. California Labor Code Section 1138.1 imposes strict rules on courts issuing injunctions in trespass cases involving unions, including the obligation of a retailer to prove that the police were either "unable or unwilling to furnish adequate protection." As a result of these two laws, labor unions in California had rights that no other group possessed — the right to go on private property and engage in activities in furtherance of their cause.
Ralphs Grocery Company operates a large warehouse grocery store in a retail development called "College Square" in Sacramento, Calif. Although many of the Ralphs stores are unionized, when Ralphs opened its College Square store in July 2007, it did so as a non-union operation. The United Food and Commercial Workers Union immediately began picketing the store, trying to encourage people not to shop there because the store operated non-union. The pickets conducted their activities five days a week, eight hours a day, in front of the store, carrying picket signs and handing out leaflets encouraging customers to shop elsewhere. Ralphs called the police on several occasions, but the police repeatedly took the position that the unions had a right to be on the property and refused to remove them. In response, Ralphs filed a complaint in the Sacramento Superior Court claiming the unions were engaged in trespass and asking the court for an injunction to remove them from the property. When the Court refused to issue an injunction, Ralphs appealed. In a decision issued July 19, 2010, the Court of Appeal issued a stunning decision, reversing the trial court's denial of an injunction and ordering it to issue injunctive relief to Ralphs. Ralphs Grocery Company v. United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 8, 2010 WL 2804355 (Cal. Ct. App. 3d Dist. July 19, 2010). In doing so, it overturned both The Moscone Act and Labor Code Section 1138.1, finding both to be unconstitutional.
In reaching this Decision, the Court first concluded that College Square was not a large regional shopping mall of the sort involved in the Pruneyard case and therefore College Square, including the area in front of the Ralphs store, was not a public forum. The Court then turned its attention to the question of whether or not, as private property, Ralphs should be able to eject the union.
The Court first considered the Moscone Act. Relying on two U.S. Supreme Court cases that held treating a labor dispute differently from other types of speech was constitutionally impermissible, the Court concluded that the Moscone Act "favors speech related to labor disputes over speech related to other matters — it forces Ralphs to provide a forum for speech based on its content." (Id. at p. 21) Therefore, said the Court, to apply the Moscone Act to Ralphs' request for injunctive relief would violate both the First and the Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
Next, in considering Labor Code Section 1138.1, the Court of Appeal said that it had the same "constitutional defect" as the Moscone Act — "It favors speech relating to labor disputes over speech relating to other matters." (Id., at p. 28) In analyzing the statute, the Court noted that the requirements for injunctive relief raised difficult obstacles that do not apply to requests for injunctions against other trespassers who are not engaged in a labor dispute. The Court noted the statute makes it "virtually impossible for a property owner to obtain injunctive relief" in labor disputes and was thus unconstitutional. (Id. at p. 31)
The Court of Appeal instructed the trial court to issue the injunction sought by Ralphs and to pay Ralphs costs.
The union is expected to appeal this decision to the California Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, in Fresno, Calif., another Ralphs case is pending, involving the same union under the same circumstances. As in Sacramento, when Ralphs went to court to get an injunction, the court refused to issue one, basing its decision on the Moscone Act and Labor Code Section 1138.1. That case is now on appeal in a different district of the Court of Appeal. The parties are waiting for oral argument in that case.
Timothy Ryan is a partner in the law firm of Morrison & Foerster in its Los Angeles office. He specializes in the representation of management in labor and employment litigation. Ryan represented Ralphs in the trial court and on appeal in this case.
Meijer expands fresh food donation initiative
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Meijer announced that it is expanding its fresh food donation initiative with plans to bring millions of pounds of fresh food directly to families in need through local food pantries. The announcement was made by Janet Emerson, EVP operations for the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based supercenter chain.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Shoaff were among those contributors:

Here's Joann Quinn, she of Charmin' fame with a 35 mm reel of her short, "Dreams and Desires: Family Ties". I got some great footage of Joanna amidst assembled awestruck animation junkies at the National Gallery...after her retrospective, she spread out the collected bounty of her animation drawings on the stage for all to peruse, then fielded questions from one and all. She, of course, rocks.
One last pic from before I left, actually...this is the schwag I concocted for the show, 10 256-meg Sandisk USB keys with plastic sleeves to hold my contact info and compass carabiners to complete the package. Each one has a 218-meg Quicktime of my finished short, as well as a title card talkin' bout the production isself. Din't give 'em all away, but lucky recipients were Lev Polyakov, Pilar Newton, my profs Don Perro and Paul West, a rep from AniBoom and the Saguenay fest (which I'll talk about later) and Jerry Beck of Cartoon Brew fame. Next, I'll be submitting the short to Giraf3 (organized by Quickdraw) and Platform.
Hookay, 'nuff said fer now. I'll be posting video goodness over the next few weeks, and probably be compiling all my goodies into a DVD for the TAIS xmas party. Meanwhile, head on over to the OIAF site and check out the prize winners! Late.

Reviews from our clients Calabash Cove
St Lucia
Name of couple: Courtney and Ben Worley
Calabash Cove was AMAZING. It was exactly as advertised. I couldn't say that for most other resorts I've ever been to. The best thing about Calabash Cove, which is hard to only name one, is that it was very personal and catered to our every need. That encompasses everything else- the food was delicious, and made-to-order if we asked, the drinks were great, the service was impeccable- the restaurants, maid service, calling for a taxi, etc. It was all done in a very professional yet personal way just for us. They even refilled our mini-bar everyday!
We stayed at the Water's Edge villa, which was attached to only one other villa and very private for the most part. Our favorite part of the villa was the outdoor shower- we even want to build one for ourself in our own home one day! It was that amazing! To name a few others, we had our own private small pool, deck for breakfast looking out on the ocean, living area with TV and mini-bar, our own room with AC, and the bathroom was very spacious with a jacuzzi. I could have stayed here much longer than just one week! The beach was small yet a perfect size- very private and relaxing. I can't say enough about the large infinity pool- it looked out over the ocean and was probably my favorite view from the resort. They had entertainment every night at dinner, which was really neat. We even danced our first night because the entertainer played our first dance song from our wedding reception! Very memorable for us.
Highlight of the honeymoon?
The highlight of our honeymoon was definitely the Water's Edge Cottage. We were so happy that we paid the extra money to stay there. Although we didn't spend all of our time there, we definitely spent a lot of it there. With the outdoor shower, deck and private pool, you can't go wrong even with spending the majority of your time there.
Any other comments? This was my first and only honeymoon, so I wasn't coming in with any other preconceived expectations. but hands down I would absolutely repeat the same exact place and resort again. I haven't been able to say that for many places I've traveled to in years past. The resort was exactly as advertised not only by their personal website but by Unforgettable Honeymoons as well.
Was our service what you expected? Yes definitely! The taxi arrangements made for us to and from the airport really helped and made our trip much smoother at the beginning and end.
Name of couple: Colton & Krissy
The honeymoon was fantastic. The resort Calabash Cove was incredible - St. Lucia as a whole is breathtaking, with mountains, rainforests, beaches, and a whole variety of amazing scenery in a relatively small area. The hotel staff was great. Overall, it was a trip of a lifetime.
Highlight of the honeymoon? As for Calabash Cove, you're always just a few steps away from somewhere to lounge and relax to take in the views (hammocks, lounge chairs, the beach, etc.).
Anything that you wish you knew beforehand that you could pass on to us for future clients? Nothing.
Was our service what you expected? Unforgettable Honeymoons and Leah did a great job setting up our honeymoon, which turned out about as great as we could have wished.
Could we have done more to make your trip smoother? Try to avoid international flights with 30-minute layovers-- luggage doesn't have enough time to make it to the next plane.
Name of couple: Justin and Sonia Cinnamon
The hotel Calabash Cove was AMAZING!!! The food, the weather, the staff, the cottage, the beach...all were so great and exceeded our expectations.
How did the honeymoon turn out in general? The honeymoon was fantastic. Everything was beyond our expectations and we had a great time. Renee and Unforgettable Honeymoons made it a truly magical experience!
Highlight of the honeymoon? We took a helicopter ride that went around the whole island...truly breathtaking!
Any other comments? We could not have been happier with our honeymoon, and a large part of that was due to Renee and Unforgettable Honeymoons. In our opinion, Renee went above and beyond what her job was and truly showed to us that she not only wanted us to have a great trip, but was there every step of the way to ensure that it happened. I couldn't even imagine what would have happened if we had booked through someone else. I would recommend Unforgettable Honeymoons to anybody and everybody looking to book a honeymoon. The packages were great and the service was exceptional!!!
Could we have done more to make your trip smoother? I am not sure how any more could have been done. From our end, it seemed like we were your only clients and we were given the VIP treatment. I know this is not the case, and the fact that you made us feel that way is just a testament to how great your service truly is. Thanks again, from The Cinnamon's
Name of couple: Jarrod and Tori
Everything about the resort was perfect. The beach was excellent, most of the time it was like having your own private beach. The staff were as nice as could be and were always available to help in any way possible. The food was excellent, everyday you could try something new at the 5 star restaurant on the resort. Every morning at daylight the resort had staff raking and making sure the beach was spotless and perfect.
How did the honeymoon turn out in general? The honeymoon was wonderful, it was more than we could have ever imagined.
And about the destination(s) in general? St. Lucia is a beautiful island. The people, the views, the water are all great.
The least? There is nothing negative to say about St. Lucia and Calabash Cove.
Highlight of the honeymoon? The excellent resort. Calabash Cove does an excellent job.
Anything that you wish you knew beforehand that you could pass on to us for future clients? Book the helicopter transfer from the big airport to the smaller island airport that is located close to the resort.
Was our service what you expected? Unforgettable Honeymoons was perfect. Leah was great and answered every question I had in a timely manner.
Name of couple: Curtis and Sarah Ivins
How did the honeymoon turn out in general? The honeymoon was wonderful and went flawlessly. My wife and I never expected to find someplace that we'd want to establish as our perfect getaway, but I promise that we are already putting savings in a jar so that God willing we can go back the same time next year. Go to Saint Lucia, stay at Calabash Cove, and have a vacation full of memories that you'll never forget!
And about the destination(s) in general? St Lucia was beautiful and had the perfect mix of both tourist hotspots and beautifully private areas to explore. Exploring the unique aspects of the island was wonderful.
Highlight of the honeymoon? The resort of Calabash Cove itself made the honeymoon what it was. The resort was perfect and wonderful!
Anything that you wish you knew beforehand that you could pass on to us for future clients? Take a full week to stay, relax and tour! Anything less is not nearly enough time.

World War One : A Very Peculiar History Hardback
by JIM PIPE
Part of the Very Peculiar History series
With the centenary of the outbreak of the 'The Great War' coming in 2014, World War One, A Very Peculiar History commemorates the events of the time by looking at some of the incredible lengths, no matter how risky or bizarre, people went to to defend their country.
From front pigs to hairy beasts, author Jim Pipe looks at the nicknames coined at the time, while providing mind-boggling lists and figures about the battles, the equipment used and the harsh conditions the troops faced.
Laced throughout this chronological description of the events leading up to and during the war are tales of human endeavour, charity and daring - some scary, some quirky, and some truly unbelievable.
So take time to take in the sheer scale of sacrifice, destruction and political tension that World War One resulted in, because we won't be able to ask, first-hand, what it was like to fight in World War One for much longer.

Yanks on path to postseason
The AL wild-card race remains a race for now, but that might not be the case much longer. The Yankees continue to roll along. They are up four games on the Tigers, who have been bugged by injuries and inconsistency this season. The only thing that could halt the Yankees' progress would be a punishing weekend against the Red Sox in Fenway Park. As long as the Yankees don't get swept, they should be in good shape. Their upcoming schedule after Boston includes the Orioles, Blue Jays and Devil Rays. The best chance at a little late-September excitement would be if there is some sort of stumble by the Yankees, but given the way Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada and company are swinging the bats, that seems rather unlikely.
|Who's hot: Jorge Posada is hitting .483 with four home runs and seven RBIs in his last eight starts -- and is having one of the greatest seasons ever for a catcher over the age of 35. Besides helping the Yankees into a likely postseason spot, he's putting himself in position for a very lucrative free-agent contract.
|Who's not: Hideki Matsui snapped out of a 5-for-45 funk with a hit and RBI on Wednesday. It's a little odd that Matsui is struggling. He has a .358 batting average in September over the last two seasons.
|Outlook: The Yankees will make their last-gasp effort at staying in the AL East race in Boston this weekend. But a potential bugaboo looms in the ice-cold Orioles, who come next and are 8-4 against the Yanks this season.
|Who's hot: The Tigers must be wishing they could pitch Justin Verlander every time out. He's 4-0 with a 0.94 ERA in his last four starts, planting himself into contention for the wide-open AL Cy Young Award. That kind of performance was expected. What wasn't is the spark-plug showing from Timo Perez, who is hitting .468 in his last 15 games.
|Who's not: Prior to Wednesday, Gary Sheffield was 1-for-19 since his return from injury, but he clubbed his 25th home run in the win over the Rangers. Sheffield hasn't really closed a season strong since 2003, when he hit .311 with five home runs and 20 RBIs in 25 September games for the Braves.
|Outlook: All of the Tigers' remaining games are against AL Central foes, but that's not necessarily a good thing. They're 28-29 against the Central this season and just 7-5 against their next opponent, the Twins.
|Who's hot: It's tough to pick anyone -- since the M's have basically played their way out of the race. Jose Vidro is the closest thing to a hot hitter. He has a five-game hitting streak and ranks ninth in the AL in batting. Raul Ibanez has four multi-RBI games in what has been a dismal month.
|Who's not: Just about everybody else. Seattle is headed to its fourth straight September without a winning record.
|Outlook: The Mariners are clinging to the slimmest of slim threads. An upcoming four-game series with Tampa Bay is only a cure-all if they sweep and the Yankees and Tigers go into dramatic slumps.
• Blue Jays 3B Troy Glaus will undergo season-ending surgery next week to repair a nerve in his left foot, the latest blow in an injury-filled season that has also included accusations he received performance-enhancing drugs. The surgery will be performed in Los Angeles by Dr. Phillip Kwong. Glaus will need to rest for about a month afterward but is expected to be healthy in time for spring training. • Yankee Stadium is set to host its final regular-season game on Sept. 21, 2008, with New York playing Baltimore. Shea Stadium will hold its regular-season wrapup a week later, on Sept. 28 against Florida. Both New York teams are moving into new ballparks in 2009. • A bruised hand forced Dodgers RHP Derek Lowe out of his start against the Padres, and it will keep him on the sidelines until this weekend at the earliest. Lowe (11-12, 3.80) was injured while playing catch with fellow pitcher Jonathan Broxton before Tuesday night's game. • David Ortiz hit the ninth walk-off home run of his career to lead the Red Sox over the Devil Rays 5-4. Ortiz, who homered twice and drove in all five runs, has 30 jacks and 102 RBIs this year. He has reached 30 homers and at least 100 RBIs in all five of his seasons with Boston. • Diamondbacks 3B Chad Tracy took live batting practice ahead of schedule, a day after hitting soft-toss swings in the indoor cage as part of his recovery from tendinitis in his right knee. He has been on the DL since Aug. 15 • Mariners 1B Richie Sexson has been diagnosed with tendinitis in his left hamstring and will likely be out for another 10 days. He has missed 10 of the last 12 games. • The Phillies turned their second triple play of the season in the first inning against Colorado. They've made 30 in team history, including three in 1964. • Justin Verlander beat the Rangers for his 17th win. Verlander (17-5), who went 17-9 last season, became the first Detroit pitcher to win at least 17 games in consecutive seasons since Jack Morris in 1986-87. • Mets LF Moises Alou extended his hitting streak to 17 games in a 4-3 win over the Braves, tying David Wright for the longest streak by a Met this season. • The Reds completed the Aug. 30 trade with the Cubs for OF Buck Coats and cash by sending minor league RHP Marcos Mateo to Chicago. • Rookie reliever Joba Chamberlain's scoreless streak ended at 15 1/3 innings, the longest by a Yankees pitcher at the start of his major league career since Slow Joe Doyle opened with 18 in 1906.
Dodgers stay in the hunt with win over Pads.
|Matt Holliday hit a three-run homer in the Rockies' 12-0 romp over the Phillies -- Colorado's most-lopsided road shutout in team history. Holliday, who hit two jacks Tuesday night against the Phillies, has homered in four straight games. He has 30 on the season and leads the NL with 119 RBIs.

Over 350 dogs showed up at Great American Ball Park -- with their owners -- as part of a promotion for the Cardinals-Reds game.
|Jim Thome hit his 499th homer and drove in three runs to lead the White Sox over the Indians 7-4. Thome, who has six big flies against his former club, is one home run away from becoming the 23rd player to reach 500 and the third this season, following Frank Thomas and Alex Rodriguez.
|The Brewers lost to the Pirates for the second time in three days and dropped into a first-place tie with the Cubs in the NL Central. Milwaukee fell to 29-45 on the road this season and 20-42 all-time at PNC Park.
|Daniel Cabrera had a night to forget in the Orioles' 18-6 loss to the Angels -- Baltimore's 18th defeat in 21 games since the team announced manager Dave Trembley would return in 2008. Cabrera gave up a career-high 10 runs (eight earned) in 4 1/3 innings, and his record sunk to 9-16, tied for most losses in the majors.
"I never thought that this team would lose 100."
-- Royals manager Buddy Bell after beating the Twins for their 63rd win of the season. The victory ensured K.C. won't have triple-digit losses for the first time in four years.
|• Rockies at Phillies, 7:05 p.m. ET: As Colorado tries to move from September to October for just the second time ever, Jeff Francis (15-7, 4.05) looks to improve upon the best year of his young career. He is 2-1 with a 2.31 ERA in his last five starts. J.D. Durbin (6-5, 6.12) has been roughed up by the Rockies this season, allowing eight earned runs on nine hits in just 2 1/3 innings. • Yankees at Blue Jays, 7:07 p.m. ET: Ian Kennedy (1-0, 2.25) has stepped right into New York's rotation and proven he's ready for The Show. In his first two career starts, the 22-year-old rookie has allowed only three earned runs over 12 innings. A.J. Burnett (8-7, 3.56) is finishing strong. He is 3-1 with a 1.90 ERA in his last six outings. • Cubs at Astros, 8:05 p.m. ET With the NL Central up for grabs, Chicago needs Steve Trachsel (6-10, 4.78) to deliver. The veteran righty is 0-2 with a 10.13 ERA since being acquired from the Orioles. Woody Williams (8-14, 4.93) hopes to throw a wrench into the Cubs' postseason plans. He is 5-5 with 4.98 ERA in 13 starts at Minute Maid Park. • Padres at Dodgers, 10:10 p.m. ET This matchup of 40-somethings is a must-win for L.A. David Wells (7-8, 5.31) gets the call against his former team. He got a no-decision in his last start against San Diego and is 2-0 with a 3.71 ERA as a Dodger. Greg Maddux (12-9, 3.68) has been lights-out lately. He is 5-0 with a 1.89 ERA in his last six starts and hasn't walked a batter in 54 1/3 innings. • Thursday's complete list of probable starters

Stock Traders Daily was found in January 2000, at the peak of the Internet Bubble, and has offered rules based risk-controlled trading strategies to retail and institutional clients ever since. Our Strategies have performed wonderfully during the Internet Debacle, during the Credit Crisis, and the up-periods in between. They are timeless, we are proven, and we are here to help everyone control their risk and realize opportunities regardless of market direction or economic conditions, and without sacrificing lifestyle.
We are the longest sanding proactive Newsletter on the Internet Today. There's a reason for that; we offer strategies that adapt to changing market conditions, no matter what they are, and being able to do that has allowed us to produce solid results no matter what the conditions might be. There are other reasons, our macroeconomic work, The Investment Rate, is also the most accurate leading longer term stock market and economic indicator ever developed, but our ability to adjust and to profit from all market conditions really sets us apart.
All of our Silver, Gold, and Platinum subscribers have direct access to the Investment Rate, which is the most accurate leading longer term stock market and economic indicator ever developed. Bronze subscribers, the subscription everyone starts with when they first come to us, have limited access to the Investment Rate.
Not initially, but eventually we do. At the beginning everyone gets to look for free, without a credit card. We call this our Bronze Membership, and it is designed to provide a glimpse into what we do so that you can see if it might be attractive to you before you move forward. The next step is to upgrade, and gain access to our strategies, and that is where the credit card comes in. If you want to learn how we do what we do a credit card is required.
Bonze subscribers have limited access to our strategies, but they get our Newsletters and emails, and in those you will see references to strategies and ideas. All other members have full access.
After the Bronze membership, which is described above, most people upgrade almost immediately to Gold. Our Gold subscription is a 1-time only offer that allows you an entire month for a 75% discount to normal monthly subscription fees. Our Gold Members are usually serious about learning more, and they give our service time to prove itself over the course of that first discounted month. Then, most users decide to take advantage of our annual subscription, which is a 50% discount to normal charges. Our annual subscribers are Platinum Members. Finally, our ,Silver subscription is our full price option, it is month-month. All of our services are available to Gold, Silver, and Platinum subscribers, but added benefits are provided to Platinum.
Once you become a Bronze Subscriber and login you will find that certain pages are not accessible. When that happens our system will ask you if you want to upgrade, and there you will see a detailed plan comparison worksheet so you can determine which one is best for you.
Stock Traders Daily is not an Investment Advisor, but our President, Thomas H. Kee Jr., does have an Investment Advisor/money manager that you may qualify to work with. Please contact him directly after learning more about his approach and ask about Equity Logic.
Everyone starts without a credit card (no credit card required), that is our Bronze Subscription, and it will terminate after 10 days without you doing anything. Just sit back and enjoy the service for 10-days. If you upgrade and become a paying subscriber, so long as you cancel before your bill-date you will not be charged. To cancel go to the My Account area to cancel your account online. To protect your privacy, we do not accept email cancellations. If you have forgotten your login you also can retrieve that in the My Account area.
Everyone starts for free, with a Bronze subscription. After that, we offer discounts for Gold and Platinum subscribers, but our full-price subscription, the Silver Plan, is $299 per month. Most of our long term clients have substantial discounts.
