MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference 2013- Day 1
Hey. Sorry this entry is up a little late, but you know, National Procrastination Week was the week right after the conference, so I put off celebrating until the week of the 11th to start celebrating… and so, here we are. Here goes the entry of a truly great experience:
Another year, another year having a blast at MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. If you didn't read my last entry (which may be privatized by the time you read this entry) the difference in this year was that I got to attend the conference this year for free thanks to the conference's organizers for taking pictures that they ended up using last year.
Anyway, the conference began the same way it did the previous year with opening remarks in the main (ball)room with the main four people responsible for the conference taking about the conference itself:
Left to right that is:
1. David Schmittlein- The dean of the MIT Sloan school (of management).
2. Daryl Morey- The GM of the Houston Rockets who graduated from Sloan in 2000 and is the co-chair for the conference.
3. Jessica Gelman- The other co-chair of the conference who is the Vice President of Customer Marketing and Strategy for the Kraft Sports Group (the group that owns the New England Patriots).
4. Jordy DeFelice- One of the two conference's student co-leads.
5. Jonathan Katz- The other of the two conference's student co-leads. The conference is a completely student-run operation, so these two are the leaders of that team of I believe around 50 student organizers.
The opening remarks consisted of many things from Jaws music to unloading trucks. But mostly bad jokes that people had to laugh at because they were so bad. You know those ones, right?
Unfortunately I was late for being early, and combined with this being the event people showed up the earliest for the whole conference, this was probably my worst seat for the whole conference. What I forgot is that not many people leave for other rooms during the first time block of the day, so it ended up also being my seat for the Revenge of the Nerds panel that took place immediately after the opening remarks in the ballroom.
That panel consisted of these following people. I will first write the name of the person and then the picture of that person afterwards. I felt the need to clarify that because I often get confused by that myself.
Michael Lewis (moderator):
This should be a familiar to most people reading this blog. He is a best-selling author most notably in the sports world for Moneyball and The Blind Side.
Paraag Marthe:
The COO of the San Francisco 49ers.
Daryl Morey:
(Previously mentioned)
Nate Silver:
Founder of Fivethirtyeight.com. He is probably most famous for correctly predicting the outcome of all 50 states in this past year's presidential election, raising him–briefly–to an almost Chuck Norris-esque internet adoration.
Mark Cuban:
Owner of the Dallas Mavericks.
It was a really interesting panel on a variety of levels. I don't remember exactly what I was mesmerized by, but I'll be sure to put the video of the panel when it goes up on YouTube like last year. In addition, with my focus on taking pictures this year, I think I'll be re-watching a lot more panels than I did last year.
I should also add that, like I mentioned on the Twitter machine during the conference itself:
Nate Silver is being an awesome person by staying to talk to people until the organizers kick him off the stage for the next panel. #SSAC13

// ]]>
Nate Silver was the awesomest of the panelists on Revenge of the Nerds by staying to talk with people almost until the next panel began twenty minutes later. Here is photographic evidence of this:
I think my legs would hurt at that point.
The next panel required no movement on my part as it was also in the ballroom. I however did move to be at a better picture-taking angle since a lot more people left between these two panels than between the opening remarks and Revenge of the Nerds. What was the panel? It's Not You, It's Me: Break-Ups in Sports. Here are the panelists:
Jackie MacMullan(moderator):
I definitely took several pictures of her, but I was at a bad angle for taking pictures of the moderator's chair, so I guess I kept erasing the bad pictures of her and never realized that I never actually got one to put on file. A shame. Anyway, she now works for ESPN, most notably appearing frequently as a panelist on their show Around The Horn. She made her fame, however, in her twenty years at the Boston Globe. She has also published several books such as When the Game Was Ours–which spoke of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson's rivalry. She also co-authored Shaquille O'Neal's autobiography.
Steve Pagliuca:
Co-Owner of the Boston Celtics.
Brian Burke:
Senior Advisor to the Toronto Maple Leafs, who was on this panel because he recently got fired from his position as President and General Manager of the team.
Stan Van Gundy:
Former head coach of the Orlando Magic.
Bill Polian:
NFL Analyst on ESPN, who was on the panel because he was the former General Manager of the Indianapolis Colts.
John Buccigross:
Host for Sportscenter on ESPN.
This panel added to a great start for me this conference. It truly was another great one. Bill Polian had some great words of wisdom while Stan Van Gundy was entertain but at the same time informative of his whole situation with the Magic and Dwight Howard, where contrary to expectation, he gave Dwight Howard respect for having played with the most pain he has ever seen a player play with.
In addition to that, it was interesting hearing Brian Burke essentially trash the statistical evaluation of players. I even overheard a "And that's why you got fired" from the crowd. I wish I had been at the front of the crowd so Burke might have heard that. (Burke, for the record, is on the Honorary Executive Board for the conference–as is Bill Polian. It's more than likely because his daughter is on the Alumni Executive Board. She even introduced this panel:
Sorry, Katie. That's the only picture I got of you.)
Then came time for boxed lunches. As last year, there was only one vegetarian option, so I went with the grilled vegetable wrap. It would have been great, but it's just not my thing. Whatever. It was a good lunch, so I'm not going to complain.
For the next time block–That's how the conference worked. There were a maximum of five events going on for each hour-long time block with twenty-minute breaks in between them–there really wasn't one event that I really wanted to attend, but I wanted to take in as much as I could so I went to Big Data Analytics in the Wide World of Sports. The speaker for it was Will Cairins, a senior data scientist at HP. So here is Mr. Cairins along with a couple of slides from his presentation, which I honestly still have no clue what it was about other than an amazingly big database's applications to the world of sports:
Mr. Carins from my way-too-close-to-the-stage-seat. (My biggest challenge was getting a picture that wasn't looking straight up his nose or blocked by the podium in the middle of the stage.)
A second shot of Cairins that wanted to get just to have the cool background he spoke in front of.
A couple of slides from the presentation.
After that I headed off to one of the research paper presentations. It was entitled Live by the Three, Die by the Three? The Price of Risk in the NBA. The presenter of it was Matthew Goldman of UC San Diego:
I guess it was an interesting presentation. (If you want to read the whole paper, click here.) But the most notable part of it for me was that Mr. Goldman, the presenter, was by far the hardest person–with Mr. Cairins from the previous presentation as a close second–to get a good picture of. First of all, he made so many small, ridiculous facial expressions that weren't detectable to the naked eye but kept showing up on camera. That and he moved back and forth on stage more than anyone else I saw at the conference, so even if he wasn't making a ridiculous facial expression on camera, the picture would come out blurry. I don't know exactly how many pictures I deleted of him, but it was closer to the number of all other presenters/panelists combined than you might otherwise think.
Sadly, though, I had to seem like the biggest douchebag in the room as I had to leave extra early from my front-row seat to get a front-row seat for the Baseball Analytics panel in the Grand Ballroom. That panel consisted of the following:
Lindsay Czarniak (moderator):
Anchor for Sportscenter on ESPN.
Joe Posnanski:
Senior Writer for NBC Sports.
Jonah Keri:
Staff Writer, Grantland; Author – "The Extra 2%".
Ben Jediovec:
Vice President of Product Development & Sales, Baseball Info Solutions.
Voros McCraken:
Statistical Analyst/ Writer.
Farhan Zaidi:
Director of Baseball Operations, Oakland Athletics.
All in all, I would say that it was a pretty good panel. Someone who was new to the conference would have loved this panel. I, however–and this is not the panel's fault–couldn't stop comparing this year's panel to last year's amazing Baseball Analytics panel, so that took away from my enjoyment of it. If you weren't reading my blog at this time last year, you can click here and scroll about half-way down the page to see last year's all-star panel.
Next up it was True Performance & the Science of Randomness. This panel consisted of the following panelists:
Daryl Morey (moderator):
Previously mentioned.
Alec Scheiner:
President of the Cleveland Browns.
Nate Silver:
Previously mentioned.
Jeff Ma:
CEO, tenXer, who you may best recognize as the person who the movie "21" was based off of, and who not surprisingly revealed that he can no longer play blackjack.
Benjamin Alamar:
Professor, Menlo College, whose connection to sports is through him being a consultant/researcher in the field of sports analytics as well as authoring a book on the subject.
Phil Birnbaum:
Editor, By the Numbers.
This was a very interesting panel to listen to. The brilliance that emanated from its panelists can be seen in the fact that it took half the panel simply to understand the terms they were using to describe the process of deciphering true performance from inherent randomness that occupies any performance and measurement thereof. Oh, and the panel had approximately 1,245 references to Nate Silver's book, The Signal and the Noise. It was initially just thrown out there as a moving reference, but it quickly became the running jokes of the panel to see how many times they could mention the book in the span of the panel and that the rest of the panel would thus forward receive royalties on any book sales for the number of times the book was mentioned during the panel. (No, it wasn't actually 1,245 times, but it almost seemed like it.)
Next up was, in that same room, the Ticketing Analytics panel. (I really suspect they tried to make as many panels follow the Analytics format as possible, because–at least this was the case in the panels I attended–way more followed it this year than last year.) The panel was comprised of the following panelists:
Shira Springer (moderator):
Special projects reporter, Boston Globe Sports. Oddly enough, she was the only moderator who sat in the middle of the panel. In I believe EVERY other panel I attended, the moderator sat to the far right seat of the panel. I don't know if this was done unintentionally or to strategically segment the group, but for whatever reason she was in the middle. She was also one of the least active moderators on any of the panels, but I think that was more of a testament to the panel and the direction the panelists took it rather than on her job as moderator.
David Kaval:
President, San Jose Earthquakes.
Bill Chapin:
Senior Vice President of Business Operations, Kansas City Cheifs.
Chris Granger:
Executive Vice President – Team Marketing & Business Operations, NBA. Or at least that is his title in the biography on the website. I recall him speaking extensively about his work with the Indiana Pacers, so I want to say he was in a high-up position with the team.
Danielle Maged:
Global Head of Business Development and Partnerships, Stubhub.
Cole Gahagan:
Sr. Vice President, Development & Strategy, NBA/NHL & Arenas – Ticketmaster.
This panel was mostly an entertaining debate between Granger and Kaval as to what the repercussions/benefits of dynamic pricing are with Kaval taking the more fan-friendly perspective and Granger taking the more business-y approach. In my opinion, this comes from the differences between their two leagues, with Kaval having to rely more on the fan experience and Granger having an unconditional fan base (to a certain extent). What I mean by that is that someone is way more likely to "just go" to an NBA game than an MLS game. The other interesting part of the panel was hearing Chapin talk about the Cheifs have implemented paperless ticketing for their season ticket holders through the use of a season ticket holder card. As a dedicated sports attendee myself it both excited and frightened me.
The final panel of the day was the Business of Sports panel. That was the following panelists:
Jessica Gelman (moderator):
Previously mentioned. (I think. Right? Right.)
John Walsh:
Executive Vice President, ESPN.
Jennifer Storms:
Senior Vice President of Global Sports Marketing, PepsiCo.
George Postolos:
President & CEO, Houston Astros.
Kathy Carter:
President, Soccer United Marketing.
Phil de Picciotto:
Founder and President, Octagon.
I can't really remember much at all from this panel. I think it was one of those I-could-have-enjoyed-this-so-much-more-had-it-been-earlier-in-the-day situations. Anyway, that was my very full day at the conference after which I exited through the lobby from whence I came earlier in the day. (The convention center is three floors. The lobby is on the lowest of them and the conference itself took place on the two upper levels.):
Anyway, that was my day, so check back for the account of the second day. I plan on having a video tour of the entire conference grounds, but even so I hope it doesn't take me half a month to get that out. (Or even over a week for that matter.) I plan on writing less in that entry, though. This entry was 2500+ words, just for reference. Then I plan on doing whatever it may be that I do on this blog next week. After that regular season baseball comes back to Minnesota–hopefully with some snow to accompany it. That obviously means I will shut down "offseason" mode and get into writing about the games I attend.

Strategic Plan
PHA operates within a Strategic Plan that brings an ambitious, yet achievable, focus to our work, based on our mission, goals and objectives. The plan is developed by a Board-level Strategic Planning Committee with input from PHA staff, and adopted by the Board of Trustees.
Performance Measures & Reporting
The PHA staff reports annually to the Board of Trustees on progress made toward achieving the goals and objectives in our Strategic Plan, including statistical benchmarks. To enable the Board to stay abreast of activities and accomplishments on a regular basis, the staff provides it with a weekly report via email. We also report annually (or more frequently as required) to government and foundation funders, comparing stated goals and objectives to progress made.
We also assess programmatic success by gathering input from those we serve via focus groups, advisory boards and surveys. This input is essential to both shaping and, when necessary, re-shaping the programs and services we offer patients, family members and medical professionals.
PHA reports on our achievements semi-annually to our donors and others via a mid-year report and annual report. Additionally, PHA President Rino Aldrighetti presents an annual "State of PHA" webinar.
The PHA community is focused on finding a cure for pulmonary hypertension and making life better for PH patients and their family members. PHA's many successes can be attributed to our dedicated and actively involved Board of Trustees, highly motivated and engaged staff, and a vast corps of volunteers.
PHA's Board of Trustees is made up of representatives from every area of our constituent base: patients, caregivers, family members, health professionals, and researchers. Our board brings together individuals from all walks of life in a common fight to find a cure.
PHA has experienced rapid program, budget and staff growth. In 1999, PHA employed two part-time staff and had a budget of $132,000. By 2015, we have grown to a staff of over 50 and four chapters across the U.S. Our staff has a strong commitment to our cause.
PHA was run strictly on volunteer power for our first 10 years and while the organization has grown, we have maintained a strong grassroots orientation. Our toll-free Patient-to-Patient Support Line (800-748-7274) is staffed by dedicated volunteers who offer support and information 365 days a year. PHA volunteers lead a network of more than 245 support groups. Volunteers also host special events, participate in fundraising, drive our advocacy and awareness campaigns forward and so much more.

Athletics overwhelm Rangers, complete improbable run to AL West title
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Same chaotic, champagne dance-party scene in the clubhouse just two days later. New T-shirt: AL West champions.
The Oakland Athletics won the division title with another improbable rally in a season full of them, coming back from four runs down and a 13-game division deficit to stun the two-time defending league champion Texas Rangers 12-5 on Wednesday.
"We knew this is a beast of a team we would have to beat, and to be able to beat them three games in a row and win the division on top of it, really it's a magical-type thing," manager Bob Melvin said.
Josh Hamilton dropped a fly ball in center field for a two-run error that put the A's (94-68) ahead 7-5 in a six-run fourth inning. The A's only added to Texas' troubles the rest of the way.
While Hamilton's Rangers (93-69) are headed to the new one-game, wild-card playoff, the A's get some time off before opening the division series in their first postseason appearance since 2006.
"You can have all the experience as you want but when you run into a team that's hot, experience has nothing to do with it," Texas manager Ron Washington said.
The A's will open the division series Saturday at the Detroit Tigers. Texas hosts the Baltimore Orioles in a wild-card game Friday, with the winner of that contest then facing the New York Yankees.
The A's needed a sweep and they delivered to win their first division crown in six years and 15th in all. They overcame a five-game deficit in the final nine days and took sole possession of the West's top spot for the first time this year.
"It shows how important Game 162 is," Oakland's Jonny Gomes said. "I don't think it took 162 to games to check the character of this ballclub."
Grant Balfour retired Michael Young on a fly to center for the final out, then raised his arms in the air as the A's streamed out of the dugout and began bouncing up and down in the infield.
"2012 AL WEST CHAMPIONS" flashed on the scoreboard two days after the A's clinched a playoff spot Monday and held a wild dance party in the clubhouse.
"I'm glad there's not one tomorrow or Friday," owner Lew Wolff said. "I can relax and go home. I'm running out of underwear."
Players high-fived fans while taking a victory lap through the rundown Coliseum, where the outfield still has a light patch of grass from football in the venue shared by the NFL's Raiders.
Soon, the celebratory champagne and beer made their way to the field -- and players sprayed them into the stands. The A's returned to the field almost an hour later to greet fans still gathered along the top of the dugout.
Oakland pulled off another remarkable performance in a season defined by thrilling walkoffs, rallies and whipped-cream pie celebrations by a team that was never supposed to be here.
A club that trailed Texas by 13 games on June 30. A club with a $59.5 million payroll, lowest in baseball. General manager Billy Beane found ways to get a blue-collar franchise back to the playoffs for the first time since being swept by Detroit in the 2006 AL championship series.
Coco Crisp hit a tying two-run double in the fourth against Derek Holland (12-7), and Brandon Moss drove in three runs, including a two-run single in the four-run eighth.
Rookie winning pitcher Evan Scribner (2-0) left the mound in the sixth to a standing ovation from the sellout crowd of 30,067. He allowed two hits and struck out two in three scoreless innings after replacing struggling starter A.J. Griffin.
Ryan Cook, pitching for a fifth consecutive game, gave up a double to Nelson Cruz before retiring the next three Texas hitters with strikeouts of David Murphy and Mike Napoli. Catcher Derek Norris pumped his right arm as the Coliseum fans jumped to their feet.
Norris then homered leading off the bottom of the eighth for his second RBI. It was his seventh homer and Oakland's majors-leading 112th since the All-Star break.
"Ever since Day 1 I've been here, it's been, the A's can't compete with the payroll, can't compete with this team or that team," Norris said. "We're better off if we're down. It just gives us the extra energy."
The A's join the NL West champion San Francisco Giants as division champions. The Bay Area is already buzzing about a possible Bay Bridge World Series like the 1989 championship swept by Oakland, one interrupted by an earthquake.
Hamilton's miscue while charging forward might haunt the free agent to-be if his Rangers don't get past their wild-card game.
"I just missed it, man," Hamilton said. "You guys have a hard time believing we can forget about it and move ahead. But that's what we get paid to do."
Murphy's two-run single highlighted a five-run third inning that put Texas in prime position.
In the fourth, Moss drew a leadoff walk and Josh Reddick followed with an RBI double. Josh Donaldson singled and Seth Smith's base hit made it 5-3 and chased Ryan Dempster with none out and runners on first and second.
Washington turned to the lefty Holland, a starter who was tagged for four runs in the first inning of the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Angels before working into the seventh.
He retired the first two batters before Crisp's double down the right-field line.
The only other teams to come back from at least 13 games down to win the division were the 1914 Boston Braves, the 1951 New York Giants, the 1978 Yankees and the 1995 Seattle Mariners.
Oakland accomplished this with an ever-changing roster managed by Melvin in his first full season as skipper. They lost third baseman Scott Sizemore to a knee injury on the first full day of spring training workouts, never promoted slugger Manny Ramirez from the minors before parting ways, and dealt with devastating injuries all year long.
Opening Day starter Brandon McCarthy took a line drive to the head Sept. 5 that required surgery and ended his season, Brett Anderson missed most of the year coming off Tommy John surgery, and Dallas Braden never pitched because of shoulder problems. Starter Bartolo Colon received a 50-game suspension in August for a positive testosterone test.
Third baseman Brandon Inge needed shoulder surgery last month and prized Cuban rookie Yoenis Cespedes missed time with a pair of injuries in May and June.
And that's just the beginning for a team that traded away catcher Kurt Suzuki to the Nationals during the year after swapping three top pitchers during the offseason -- Trevor Cahill to Arizona, NL Cy Young Award favorite and 21-game winner Gio Gonzalez to Washington and All-Star closer Andrew Bailey to Boston.
"There hasn't been a lot of luck involved," said Beane, who received a celebratory pie in the face. "The one thing about baseball, when you play 161 games, you don't get lucky this late in the season. There have been a lot of adjustments on the fly."
Game notes
The A's, whose 14 walk-off victories lead baseball, won their seventh game this year after trailing by four or more runs. ... The A's won the season series 11-8, just the second time in seven seasons they've done so. ... The sellout crowd included 1,000 standing-room only tickets. ... Holland pitched in relief for the second time this year.
OAK Wins 3-0

Shrek 3 movie review
Although I enjoyed Shrek 1 and 2, I didn't like this one. The one hour 33 minutes felt too long. Firstly, the ogre Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) was boring. Sure, he had some funny lines but it wasn't enough to lift his character above the mundane.
The storyline was weak from the first. Shrek is next in line to the throne even though he isn't. I mean, it's his wife Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) who is next in line, but for some inexplicable reason (lack of ideas for a story I guess) the directors, Chris Miller and Raman Hui, decide to put Shrek into this dilemma of to be or not to be. Naturally, as he is an anti-social ogre he soon realises that he doesn't want to be king. So he goes on a journey to to find another heir and comes back to find his kingdom hijacked. This so-called heir who Shrek wants to install as the next king is most unconvincing. He is a boy called Arthur and has a friend called Lancelot… these names remind us of King Arthur and Sir Lancelot of the legends, but actually there's nothing of the sort. These are names taken from the legends alright, but for what purpose, the director only knows.
Another thing that I didn't like was that the movie was replete with characters. Characters which appear to be clones of each other. They make the story line even more confusing than it is. At the end there is this battle scene with scores of characters doing their little bit and its a free-for-all. The villain Prince Charming (the same guy from Shrek 2) doesn't seem to be evil enough and the motley of fabled characters that he picks up to make up his army clutter up the movie, as if it wasn't cluttered enough with the 'good' characters.
Shrek's attempt to be wise and kind with his lecture (its what you think of yourself that matters, not what others think of you) doesn't jell with the rest of the movie.
Yeah, the animation is good and the movie is light and funny, but if you haven't seen it, don't fret. You can always grab a CD if you want to show it to your five year old.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A trainer flooding the field with five horses. A black jockey trying to make history, and a woman rider, too. Louisville coach Rick Pitino seeking a double — champions in racing and basketball. He's sure in the right place.
The 19-horse field for Saturday's Kentucky Derby is balanced, with no definitive favorite.
Orb is the pre-race choice, just barely. Nearly overshadowed is his trainer, Shug McGaughey, who really, really wants this race. Doug O'Neill trying to win back-to-back. And then there's the threat of rain, which has done in some of the best-laid plans on race day.
It sure looks like a topsy-turvy Derby.
"I don't think we've got Secretariat in this bunch, even Seattle Slew," four-time Derby-winning trainer D. Wayne Lukas said, "so I think it's going to boil down to the trip and the pace and a lot of other things."
Todd Pletcher will saddle a record-tying five horses — undefeated and early second choice Verrazano, Revolutionary, Overanalyze, Palace Malice and Charming Kitten.
"We laid out a plan to get here with them, and it's all come down pretty much like we hoped," said Pletcher, who has one Derby win with 31 previous starters.
Verrazano is 4-0 in his young career, not having run as a 2-year-old. He'll be trying to disprove an old Derby jinx: no horse since Apollo in 1882 has won without racing as a juvenile.
Relative unknown Kevin Krigger will be aboard Goldencents, trying to become the first black jockey to win since Jimmy Winkfield in 1902.
"I'm going to ride us the race that should get us to the Kentucky Derby winner's circle," Krigger said.
The colt is partly owned by Pitino, whose Cardinals won the NCAA championship last month. The coach recently got elected to basketball's Hall of Fame, so a Derby win would complete the ultimate trifecta.
Rosie Napravnik wants to grab history for herself, too.
No female jockey has ever won the Derby, although she came closest, with a ninth-place finish in 2011. Napravnik will ride 15-1 long shot Mylute.
"He feels great, he's acting great and I'm very confident heading into the Derby," she said.
Orb was the narrow 7-2 early favorite for the 139th Derby. He comes in on a four-race winning streak for McGaughey, the 62-year-old trainer whose Hall of Fame resume lacks a Derby victory. He's making his second appearance since 1989, when he finished second with Easy Goer.
"I hope the track is fast and safe for everybody and nobody has any excuses, and let the best horse win," McGaughey said.
Goldencents will be trying to deliver for more than Krigger and Pitino. He's trained by O'Neill, who put unknown Mario Gutierrez aboard I'll Have Another last year and won. The trainer is following the same script this time, giving Krigger a big break while trying to become the first trainer to win back-to-back Derbies since Bob Baffert in 1997-98.
"We think it is our time," O'Neill said. "We think it is us."
Don't look for the white-haired Baffert on Saturday. The three-time Derby winner isn't saddling a horse this year, but like everyone, he had an opinion.
"Whoever has the heart will win it," he said.
The forecast calls for an 80 percent chance of rain and a high of 59 degrees. The last Derby run on a sloppy track was in 2010.
"It'll make the Derby that much more wide open," said trainer Ken McPeek, who has two starters, Frac Daddy and Java's War.
Lukas has two horses — Oxbow and Will Take Charge — ready for his 27th Derby. The four-time winning trainer planned to sleep soundly the night before.
"I don't get uptight, don't even get excited when they go in the gate," he said.
At 77, Lukas would be the oldest trainer to win.
Oxbow's jockey, Gary Stevens, will be pulling double-duty Saturday. He'll ride in his first Derby since ending a seven-year retirement earlier this year, and then return to his job as a racing analyst on NBC's telecast. The 50-year-old rider has won the race three times.
"You go out there with the highest hopes," he said. "I've walked back too many times after the Kentucky Derby and it's a disappointment if they don't run their race. If we're fortunate enough to win it, I know how to celebrate."
Calvin Borel is one jockey always worth watching in the Derby. He and Revolutionary will break from the No. 3 spot in the starting gate, putting Borel near his favorite path on the track — the rail. The rider nicknamed "Bo-rail" for his fence-skimming rides has three Derby wins in the last six years.
"This is his home court," Lukas said. "He does better here than anywhere else."
Normandy Invasion can count on his own rooting section among the expected throngs at Churchill Downs. The colt named for the Allied assault on Normandy in World War II has four D-Day veterans backing him. They were flown in for the race by owner Rick Porter, and met the colt up close on Friday.

Fredericktown Ferry Faces Life as Museum
Washington PA
Observer Reporter
21 February 2013
FREDERICKTOWN – Facing an operating budget deeply in the red and falling ridership, the floundering ferryboat in Fredericktown has been struggling to stay afloat. But if the historic vessel does have to be permanently shored, organizers hope it will rise to live again as a museum on the banks of the Monongahela River.
Dennis Slagle, president of Fredericktown Chamber of Commerce, held a public meeting at the East Bethlehem Volunteer fire hall Thursday along with representatives from the nonprofit River Town Program to reveal a plan to turn the aging Ferry Boat Frederick into a permanent museum.
"I believe the writing is on the wall," Slagle said. "I don't think, as a matter of fact, I know that if that grant is off the table, that ferry doesn't stand a snowball's chance."
Slagle was speaking of a more than $900,000 grant county officials had hoped to put toward the ferryboat. He said, after speaking to both Washington and Fayette county commissioners, receiving the grant did not seem likely.
The new plan would permanently dry dock the riverboat, turning it into an outdoor museum. A nearby abandoned gas station would be razed and parking and green areas would be installed. The ramp leading up to the ferry off Water Street would be converted into a river access for boats and kayaks.
"I don't know what else could be done after all these years," Slagle said. "We're trying to preserve it; we just can't figure out any kind of way to preserve it on the water."
Before the Mon Valley Expressway opened, the ferryboat operation averaged about 200 vehicles per day. Since the bridge over the Monongahela River on Route 43 opened in July, daily ridership has slipped to about 90. Many of the riders of the ferry work at State Correctional Institution at LaBelle, Fayette County.
A ferry has crossed the river in Fredericktown for nearly 200 years. The current steel vessel, which uses a steel line to navigate between banks, has been in operation since 1973.
The ferry has annual operating costs of about $200,000 and is roughly $145,00 in the red. Washington and Fayette counties pay an equal share of the budget.
While many at the meeting thought the idea was a good strategy under the current circumstances, some at the meeting did not want to see the ferry taken off the water.
Larry Rutherford, 50, of LaBelle, has spent the last 30 years as a ferryboat operator. He said the fiscal picture painted by news outlets was more dire than the reality.
"I don't know if you're going to make up the money, I really don't," Rutherford said. "But it's not losing as much as they're saying. All I got from this meeting was they wanted to clean up that building."

So a couple of weeks back, I did a post about tropes that don't bother me (and some I even like) and Katie @Never Not Reading requested that I do a follow up with recommendations in each of the categories. And since I am nothing if not accommodating, I obliged 😉 Althoughhhhh, I have to be honest, this might not be the most comprehensive list in the world, since a fair amount of the time I pick up books with these tropes, they disappoint. Either way, here are some books I did enjoy:
Forbidden Love
Gotta admit, this was the easiest category to do- there are just so many!!! And I love them all!! (most of the time 😉 )
Fake Dating
Ah this was the toughest. Truth be told, ever since I picked up To All the Boys, I've been trying to find more in this category, but a lot of them fall flat. Still, there are some good ones out there if you know where to look 😉
Enemies to Lovers
I had so many for this, but I decided to split them up so that there would be some for my other fave trope…
Secretly a sweetheart
Yeah there's a lot of overlap with Enemies to Lovers here! These two tropes go hand in hand for a reason!
Descent into darkness
Annnd basically every other Shakespearean tragedy 😉
Redemptive arcs
This was another super popular one in classics- maybe because it is a classic! (oof- that joke was painful- I'll see myself out)
Rags to riches/Cinderella stories
Is it just me or does this happen more in movies? I could think of a gazillion rom coms with this and for some reason it was a struggle to think of more than a few books! (I also think someone's going to tell me at least one in the comments that I'll be kicking myself for not remembering).
Do you like any of my recs? Or do you plan on checking any of these out? And do you have any recommendations for me? Let me know in the comments!

PERTH: China's official news agency says a Chinese ship that is part of the multinational search effort looking for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane has detected a "pulse signal" in southern Indian Ocean waters.
April 5, 2014
PERTH: China's official news agency says a Chinese ship that is part of the multinational search effort looking for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane has detected a "pulse signal" in southern Indian Ocean waters.
Australian ship Ocean Shield in the first search for the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder of the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean.
The report says a black box detector deployed by the vessel, Haixun 01, picked up a signal at 37.5Hz per second on Saturday at around 25 degrees south latitude and 101 degrees east longitude.
The report said it was not established whether that the signal was related to the missing jet.
The Australian government agency coordinating the search would not immediately comment on the report.
'Won't give up search'
Meanwhile, Malaysia vowed on Saturday that it would not give up on trying to find the missing jetliner and announced details of a multinational investigation team to solve the aviation mystery, as the search for the plane entered its fifth week.
Military and civilian planes, ships with deep-sea searching equipment and a British nuclear submarine scoured a remote patch of the southern Indian Ocean off Australia's west coast, in the increasingly urgent hunt for debris and the "black box" recorders that hold vital information about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370's last hours.
After weeks of fruitless looking, officials face the daunting prospect that sound-emitting beacons in the flight and voice recorders will soon fall silent as their batteries die after sounding electronic "pings" for a month.
Hishammuddin Hussein, Malaysia's defence minister and acting transport minister, told reporters in Kuala Lumpur that the cost of mounting the search was immaterial compared to providing solace for the families of those on board by establishing what happened.
"I can only speak for Malaysia, and Malaysia will not stop looking for MH370," Hishammuddin said.
The Boeing 777 disappeared March 8 while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people aboard. So far, no trace of the jet has been found.
At the media briefing, Hishammuddin announced that an independent investigator would be appointed and three main areas of inquiry would be pursued. One team will look at airworthiness, including maintenance, structures and systems; another will examine operations, such as flight recorders and meteorology; and a third will consider medical and human factors.
The overall investigation team will include officials and experts from Australia — which as the nearest country to the search zone is currently heading the hunt, with other nations' help — as well as China, the United States, Britain and France, Hishammuddin said.
A multinational team is desperately trying to find debris floating in the water or faint sound signals from the recorders that could lead them to the missing plane and unravel the mystery of its fate.
Finding floating wreckage is key to narrowing the search area, as officials can then use data on currents to backtrack to where the plane hit the water, and where the flight recorders may be.
Beacons in the black boxes emit "pings" so they can be more easily found, but the batteries only last about a month.
Officials have said the hunt for the wreckage is among the hardest ever undertaken, and will get much harder still if the beacons fall silent before they are found.
"Where we're at right now, four weeks since this plane disappeared, we're much, much closer," said aviation expert Geoffrey Thomas, the editor in chief of AirlineRatings.com. "But, frustratingly, we're still miles away from finding it. We need to find some piece of debris on the water; we need to pick up the ping."
If it doesn't happen, the only hope for finding the plane may be a full survey of the Indian Ocean floor, an operation that would take years and an enormous international operation.
Hishammuddin said there were no more new satellite images or data that can provide new leads for searchers. The focus now is fully on the ocean search, he said.
Two ships, the Australian navy's Ocean Shield and the British HMS Echo, carrying sophisticated equipment that can hear the recorders' pings, returned on Saturday to an area investigators hope is close to where the plane went down. They concede the area they have identified is a best guess.
Up to 13 military and civilian planes and nine other ships took part in the search Saturday, the Australian agency coordinating the search said.
Because the US navy's pinger locator can pick up signals to a depth of 6,100 meters (20,000 feet), it should be able to hear the plane's data recorders even if they are in the deepest part of the search zone — about 5,800 meters (19,000 feet). But that's only if the locator gets within range of the black boxes — a tough task, given the size of the search area and the fact that the pinger locator must be dragged slowly through the water at just 1 to 5 knots (1 to 6mph).
Australian Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, head of the joint agency coordinating the operation, acknowledged the search area was essentially a best guess, and noted the time when the plane's locator beacons would shut down was "getting pretty close."
The overall search area is a 217,000-square-kilometer (84,000-square-mile) zone in the southern Indian Ocean, about 1,700 kilometers (1,100 miles) northwest of the western Australian city of Perth.

Topic: 1 of 3
Individuals: hunger for God
Sometimes people get used to living in spiritual poverty, because they don't know anything else. However the Lord has put a deep need for Him, in the heart of every man, woman and child. In prayer, we can ask the Lord to stir up this yearning, and prepare the way for His powerful message of reconciliation and restored relationship.
1 Cor 8:5-6 For even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.
Lord, I thank You that You are the God of truth, and that Your word says, "you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." Thank You for the freedom that You bring in every area of our lives. Right now I ask You to release a yearning and a restlessness within the

, a real spiritual hunger that won't settle for a substitute.
Lord, I ask that this yearning would be so strong, that they would be willing to embrace any change or to venture any risk necessary, in order to encounter the Truth. Let them be like the man who found the "pearl of great price," willing to pay everything he had to buy it. I thank You, Lord, for hearing my prayer, and for the hunger You are stirring in the hearts of the

right now.

Are you looking for Active Wow Teeth Whitening Kit Review?
It can be difficult to choose the right teeth whitening product for you. However, it is possible to choose from among the many products on the market. This article will highlight some of the top-rated kits, including Philips' 3D White Strips, Colgate's Optic White At-Home Teeth Whitening Kit, and Solimo's Coconut Oil Teeth Whitening Kit. Whether you're considering purchasing these products or are just curious, be sure to read on.
Crest 3D Whitestrips Glamorous White Teeth Whitening Kit includes fourteen upper and lower whitening strip.
Table of Contents
Crest's 3D White Strips
The Crest 3D White Strips Professional Effects will erase up to 14 years of teeth stains in just three days. It's like a tooth eraser! In three days you will see results, and in 20 days you will have complete results. The no-slip grip of the whitening strips makes them stay on until you remove them, making them easy to wear for up to three hours per day and still able to speak while they work.
The teeth whitening strips contain a whitening gel. The strips must be applied to clean teeth and aren't meant to be worn immediately after application. Simply align them with the gum line and press gently to adhere. Once the strips have been placed, gently peel them off and clean up any gel. You'll be amazed at the difference! You won't feel any sensitivity, as most whitening strips contain an antibacterial agent to prevent irritation of the gums.
The strips can be used for occasional purposes, but they should be used in conjunction to regular dental care. Sodium hydroxide can cause damage to the teeth and gums. You will need to see your dentist if you want to whiten your smile. It's also safe to use the Crest 3D Glamorous Whitestrips on a limited basis and as directed. It is also important to remember that they are only temporary.
The Crest 3D Whitestrips Glamorous White Teeth Whitening Kit contains fourteen upper and lower whitening strips. Each strip contains a hydrogen peroxide-gel that causes a chemical reaction that whitens the teeth. According to studies, the strips can remove up to 10 years of stains! The strips can be used up to twice daily for a few days to get results. Active Wow Teeth Whitening Kit Review.
Colgate Optic White At-Home Whitening Kit
Crest Whitestrips are another option for at-home teeth whitening. These strips have a 9% hydrogen nitrate whitening gel as well as potassium nutritrate and fluoride for a whitening effect comparable to that of 30% carbamide oxide. These strips are an effective way to whiten teeth in under an hour. But before you buy the Crest Whitestrips, you should read the manufacturer's instructions to make sure they're safe.
If you're looking for a professional-level teeth whitening kit, try Colgate's Optic White Pro Light. The kit includes a whitening pen and a charging case. Since this is a rechargeable device, it doesn't cause tooth sensitivity. Unlike other at-home teeth whitening kits, the Optic White Pro Light is not suitable for pregnant women and nursing mothers. However, you should use the Colgate Optic White Professional Whitening Kit a few weeks before you plan to get veneers or crowns.
Another Colgate at-home teeth whitening kit is the Colgate Optic White Advanced LED Teeth Whitening Kit. This innovative LED blue-light device activates hydrogen peroxide. This treatment can remove stains up to 10 years old in as little as 10 minutes. The Colgate Optic White at home teeth whitening kit should be used only for healthy, natural teeth. It won't work well if your teeth are damaged or have had any dental work done.
Another at-home teeth whitening system includes the Colgate Optic White Advanced Toothpaste. It contains two percent hydrogen peroxide and aims to whiten teeth from the inside out. For best results, you should use this whitening solution at least twice daily for four weeks. It's important to brush your teeth regularly to get the most benefits. In as little as three days, a daily application of Colgate Optic White Advanced Toothpaste can result in a brighter smile.
Solimo's Coconut Oil Teeth Whitening Kit
A Solimo's Coconut Oil Teeth whitening kit can make your pearly whites look like they just came out of the dentist's office! This natural tooth whitening kit uses a special mixture of coconut oil and hydrogen peroxide. It removes stains from your teeth's surface. It is gentle on the teeth and gums, and gradually brightens pearly whites. This kit also comes with a charcoal tooth powder that is suitable for sensitive teeth.
One of the best teeth whitening products on the market is A Solimo's Coconut Oil Tooth Whitener. These kits are effective in whitening your teeth as well as maintaining the health of your gums. However, the process is not without its risks. You should combine the whitening process and proper dental care to get a better result. Dr. Jennifer Haddad and Dr. Matt Nejad, cosmetic dentists in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, suggest that you first treat cavities before whitening your teeth. This is because a whitener can hurt your gums if it comes into contact with a cavity.
Active Wow Teeth Whitening Kit Review
Solimo's Coconut Oil Teeth whitener also works to whiten your teeth naturally. It contains natural ingredients such as coconut oil, aloe vera, and activated charcoal that help remove stains and improve oral hygiene. The formula is safe to use by everyone, including kids. The best part about the formula is that it is made from organic coconut oil. Solimo's Coconut Oil Teeth Whitening Kit makes a great choice for people who want a bright smile and healthy teeth.
The Solimo 10 Day Whitening Strips are easy to use and safe for sensitive teeth. Each strip is designed with a special seal technology that allows you to talk to your dentist while the whitener works on your teeth. The whitened strips can make your teeth up to eight shades whiter in a matter of weeks. The bamboo brush is included with the strips for easy removal.
Philips 3D White Strips
Two steps are included in the Philips 3D White Strips teeth-whitening system. The first step is a whitening gel. The second step is to remove the gel-coated strips from the tray and place them back in the tray. The package is even more value for money because it contains whitening gel. During testing, the tester used a tray-style kit to make impressions of his teeth. He used the trays about two or three times to get a proper fit.
The Philips 3D White Strips teeth-whitening kits use hydrogen peroxide, which is a faster agent than carbamide. This compound is not approved for home usage. This ingredient also reportedly dries the enamel. The kit can provide fast results, and the cost is half that of hyper-bleach. Philips' 3D White Strips teeth whitening kit includes fancy additives that can be used to save you the cost of a visit to the dentist.
Another at-home teeth-whitening kit is the Crest 3D White Strips. These strips contain the same active ingredients as the Crest – 3D White strips. This kit can be applied for 30 minutes each day for three to four weeks. The strips are easy to trim, and don't cost a fortune. They are also less expensive than many of their rivals. To get the best results, you should still consult a dentist.
There are also a variety of whitening gels available in the market. Philips makes Zoom Whitening gel that can be used at home as a self care kit. It costs approximately $3.87 per treatment and comes with a sensitivity treatment and separate trays. Its prices are comparable to those of other products in the market. While a good whitening kit won't break the bank, you should still consider the cost before you buy it. Active Wow Teeth Whitening Kit Review.
Snow LED Kit
Snow LED Teeth Whitening can be a safe and effective way to whiten your teeth at-home. Snow teeth serum is made with powerful ingredients that fight deep stains, discoloration, and other problems. It uses an LED mouthpiece to activate the bleaching agent. LED teeth whitening is not like traditional methods. It does not require exposure to ultraviolet radiation or other harmful radiation. It does not cause cancer or mutations in the mouth.
The Snow LED Kit is user-friendly and easy to use. All you have to do is place the LED mouthpiece in your mouth, apply the teeth serum, and wait for a certain time. You should only apply the serum to your teeth. It is safe for people who have dental fillings or other oral health problems. You can choose between a simple or extra-strong formulation. You should notice a difference in the color of your teeth after one treatment. If you're not satisfied with the results of your first treatment, you can inquire about payment plans.
Compared to traditional whitening methods, the Snow LED kit for teeth whitening is the most convenient and affordable option for people who want white teeth fast. It combines both red and blue LED light to provide a complete effect on your teeth and gums. The blue light is used to whiten teeth. While the red light helps maintain gum health, the blue light helps with teeth whitening. You'll be amazed at the speed you can achieve whiter teeth.
The Snow Teeth Whitening System has been a top-selling product and is loved by dentists and A-list celebrities. Unlike other whitening systems, the Snow LED Kit is easy to use and effective. Dual light therapy is both effective and affordable. It even supports gum health. The mouthpiece is water-resistant, and it recharges automatically. It also comes with a charger and a battery.

Jeanne Cooper dead; 'Young and Restless' star was 84
Jeanne Cooper, the enduring soap opera star who played grande dame Katherine Chancellor for nearly four decades on "The Young and the Restless," has died. She was 84.
Cooper died Wednesday morning in her sleep, her son the actor Corbin Bernsen wrote on Facebook. The family confirmed the death to CBS, according to a network spokeswoman.
She was in a Los Angeles-area hospital, according to Bernsen's spokesman, Charles Sherman, who said the cause of death was not immediately available.
"One of the last great broads in our business -- Jeanne Cooper, Mom -- is now stirring up trouble in great beyond," her family said in a statement.
Cooper will be remembered "as a daytime television legend and as a friend who will truly be missed by all of us here at the network," said Nina Tassler, president of CBS Entertainment, adding that the actress brought "indelible charm, class and talent to every episode."
"Heaven just gained one feisty angel," cast member Melissa Claire Egan posted on her Twitter account.
"A very sad day for all of us. You will be deeply missed," tweeted Jessica Collins, also on the serial.
Cooper joined the daytime serial six months after its March 1973 debut, staking claim to the title of longest-tenured cast member. The role earned her 11 Daytime Emmy nominations and a trophy for best actress in a drama series in 2008.
"God knows it's claimed a big part of my life," she told The Associated Press in March as CBS' "The Young and the Restless" celebrated its milestone 40th anniversary.
As the years passed, Cooper brushed aside thoughts of saying goodbye to the show and its fictional Wisconsin town of Genoa City.
"What would I do? I'm no good at crocheting. My fingers would bleed," she told the AP as she turned 83 in October.
But on April 12 Bernsen tweeted that his mother faced an "uphill battle" for an undisclosed illness. In subsequent days he wrote of her gradual improvement and said that she'd been taken off breathing equipment.
In a Facebook posting April 17, Bernsen said his mother cursed several times, "showing me that she's becoming her old self, not thrilled about the situation, and ready to get out of the hospital and shake up the world."
On Wednesday he wrote that she remained a fighter until the end: "She has been a blaze her entire life, that beacon, that boxer I spoke of earlier. She went the full twelve rounds and by unanimous decision... won!"
Cooper, born in the California town of Taft in 1928, attended the College of the Pacific and performed in local theater productions before her professional career began with the 1953 film "The Redhead from Wyoming" starring Maureen O'Hara. Other film credits include 1968's "The Boston Strangler" with Tony Curtis and 1967's "Tony Rome" with Frank Sinatra.
She had a parallel career in TV, with shows including "The Adventures of Kit Carson" in 1953 and "The Pepsi-Cola Playhouse" in 1954 and "Bracken's World" in 1969-70.
In a recurring role on "L.A. Law," she played the mother to Bernsen's character, Arnie, and received a 1987 Emmy nomination for best guest actress in a drama. Bernsen later joined his mother on her series, making several appearances as a priest, Father Todd.
But it was her role on "The Young and the Restless" that made her a TV star intimately familiar to viewers.
In 1984, Cooper's real-life facelift was televised on the show as her character underwent the surgery at the same time, and had no regrets about it.
"It opened up reconstructive surgery for so many people, youngsters getting things done," she said. "To this day, people will come up to me and say, `Thank you so much for doing that. My mom or I had something done, and not just cosmetic surgery.' That was an incredible experience in my life."
"The Young and the Restless" has topped the daytime serial ratings for more than 24 years, in part because of the continuity provided by Cooper and its other long-time stars including Eric Braeden. It held its ground as the genre diminished in popularity and the majority of soaps vanished.
Cooper's 30-year marriage to Harry Bernsen ended in divorce. The couple have three children, Corbin, Caren and Collin, and eight grandchildren.

Here's the thing about decorating for Christmas. It should be fun. It should be an occasion. It should involve delicious food.
But since your attention really should be on the decorating — and getting all those (expletive deleted) lights untangled — the food you serve needs to be fast, easy and mostly hands off.
When I was a kid, the night we put up and decorated the tree was a shrimp feast. We bought many — too many — pounds of cooked shrimp, then paired them with a bunch of sauces for dipping, some sparkling cider and a purchased dessert. Done. It was special, but also effortless and allowed easy grazing while hanging ornaments.
These days, I like to put a little more effort into it. But not much. That's why I came up with this medley of roasted vegetables and sausage. You basically season a bunch of produce and arrange it on baking sheets. Toss on some sausage, then pop the whole thing in the oven while you sweep up the glass decorations your child just smashed.
Keeping the vegetables separate on the baking sheets not only makes for an attractive presentation (it resembles a Cobb salad, from which the dish takes its name), it also lets you easily add faster cooking items toward the end of the cooking time.
Roasted Cobb Salad
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt
1 pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed
1 head cauliflower, cored and cut into small florets
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Ground black pepper
1 pound carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 pound Brussels sprouts, bottoms trimmed
2 tablespoons molasses
2 pounds sweet or spicy Italian sausages
Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Coat 2 rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix the cornstarch, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the squash and toss until well coated. Arrange the squash in an even layer at one end of one of the baking sheets; it should take up about half of the sheet. Spritz the squash liberally with cooking spray.
Wipe out the bowl, the add the cauliflower and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Toss, then add 1 teaspoon of black pepper and toss again. Arrange next to the squash on the baking sheet. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the carrots to the bowl (no need to wipe it out). Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil, the fennel seeds and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Toss well, then arrange on one half of the second baking sheet. Add the Brussels sprouts to the bowl (no need to wipe it out), drizzle with the molasses and the remaining oil. Toss well, then arrange next to the carrots.
Arrange the sausages over the Brussels sprouts and carrots. After the squash and cauliflower have roasted for 15 minutes, add the second baking sheet and roast both for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables and sausages are browned and tender. Serve directly from the baking sheets. Serves 8.
