MORE
Apr. 22, 2014
Energy and climate change experts, including former Obama administration officials, say Keystone XL pipeline's political symbolism vastly outweighs its policy substance; new regulations to cut emissions from coal-fired power plants as well as treaties to cut global emissions will have far greater impact on global warming emissions than the completion of the pipeline. MORE

MORE
May. 9, 2013

Spring Football: At Livingstone, it's Williams' team now
By David Shaw
SALISBURY — First-year Livingstone football coach Darryl Williams has turned Alumni Stadium into a classroom.
And in this class, 65 players have learned over the past three weeks, you'd better pay attention.
"The standard has changed," Williams said in a quiet, matter-of-fact tone on Saturday, shortly after LC completed spring practice with an insightful offense-defense scrimmage. "We're trying to build a program where we can win year in and year out. And consistency is the hallmark of a champion. We're trying to lay one brick each day. We'll present the finished product on Sept. 7."
That's the day the Blue Bears kick off their 2013 season against Johnson C. Smith. Whether Livingstone has learned enough to right the rudderless ship that went 2-8 and dropped its last five games in 2012 is unknown.
This much is certain: the Blue Bears will be different, beginning with the all-white helmets with powder-blue stripes and block numbers on the side they'll strap on.
"More of a classic look," Williams said. "Like Alabama."
Credit Williams for swinging for the fence and aiming high. His players seem to have bought into his doctrine, agreeing that the best time to learn is ahead of time.
"I don't want to take a minute or a few seconds," said linebacker Tyheim Pitt, an all-CIAA pick last autumn. "I want to take an hour to thank Coach Williams and his staff for what they've done. They stress the little things, the little details. We're never going to be perfect, but that's goal — to do everything right 100 percent of the time."
Saturday's scrimmage illustrated how far they've got to go. Playing slightly more than four eight-minute periods, the scrimmage ended in a scoreless tie.
"Our defense turned the corner today," said linebacker Kenneth White Jr., another all-conference pick and the team's leading tackler a year ago. "We stopped a pretty good offense."
They thwarted an offense that averaged 24.1 point-per-game last season when Williams served as offensive coordinator under former coach Elvin James, leapfrogging from 150th in the nation in 2011 to 80th. It's a souped-up offense that handed the keys to 18-year old quarterback Drew Powell, who paid dividends by passing for 18 touchdowns, rushing for another five and landing the CIAA's Rookie of the Year award.
"We're lucky to have him," said left tackle Allyne Hall. "He seems more confident, like he's making wiser decisions."
Powell looked rusty on Saturday, often overthrowing receivers and completing about half of his attempts.
"That's partially my fault," Williams said. "This camp concentrated on fixing other things in other areas. I know what Drew can do. No matter how good Drew is, if we don't play better defense we don't have a chance."
Powell took his pedestrian, late-April performance in stride.
"I guess that's a win for the defense," he said before leaving the field. "We weren't expecting to come out here and run through them. That defense has pushed it up a couple notches. The offense is also better, but our biggest improvement will come in the fall. We don't have to be good right now. We have to be good on Sept. 7."
That's a philosophy Williams and defensive coordinator Rodney Hughley seem to have firmly instilled in the Blue Bears. It's a new beginning for a program that briefly tasted success last season when it prevailed in its first two conference matches.
"The effort. That's what the coaches have been emphasizing in spring practice," noted defensive lineman Hillman Evans IV. "They see what's inside of us. We just have to see it ourselves. They're trying to pull all that potential out of us."
Adam Powell, another beefy member of the DL, agreed.
"It's a new mentality," he said. "We have something to prove to ourselves and the coaching staff. There are no more excuses — and we're not the same old Livingstone. It's on another level now."
Sounds like the Blue Bears are saying all the right things — things we've heard before. Williams and Hughley realize they have their work cut out for them. LC's defense leaked like the Titanic last fall when it yielded 46.8 points-per game, including 70 in a season-opening loss to Chowan.
"We had a better effort by the defense today," Williams said with a hint of low-keyed optimism. "More enthusiasm. They ran to the ball better. They read their keys better. I was impressed."
Now comes the hard part.
When the team reconvenes in early August, the staff will have identified Livingstone's most-pressing needs. Filling them, and turning the long-suffering program around, will certainly take time.
"It's getting better," the level-headed Hall said. "Everyone's actually starting to learn the game. We're studying the game. We all want perfection — perfect footwork, perfect steps, perfect stance. But at the same time we want to have fun learning."
There's no better classroom for that than Alumni Stadium.

I grab these 4 camera images throughout the day and night when they change - and upload them to a Fotki.com web site I set up for this purpose. In addition, I upload the Weather Conditions image also. This shows the prior 24 hour wind and temperature at the summit.
By going to http://public.fotki.com/mwo you will be able to go back through the images for the day in the "Current" folder and also check out prior days' images in the "Saved Images" folder.
The current album and folder structure is:
So, if you are hiking to the summit, stand on the observation deck within view of the Deck camera on the quarter hour. When you get home your picture should be available for you in the http://public.fotki.com/MWO/current/deck/ album.

Eh, I know the feeling, but I don't think it's as prevalent as you think. I mean, it's not like it's hard to see that it's done by you.
Besides, it'd be horrible if you got locked into a style anytime before you become a professional.
Personally, I really would like some variance in line weight, but it's fine otherwise.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (October 20, 2010)—Awesome Patriot, a debut winner on Oct. 9, will seek a repeat against six rivals in the $55,000-added Jack Goodman Stakes Saturday at Oak Tree/Hollywood Park.
A six furlong race over Cushion Track for 2-year-olds, the Goodman is the main event on a day ( 1 p.m. post) that also includes the Oak Tree Racing Association's extremely popular stein giveaway. This year's stein features the undefeated Zenyatta and jockey Mike Smith.
A member of racing's Hall of Fame and already a winner of 12 Grade I races in 2010, Smith will be signing autographs from 12-1 p.m. near the Paddock Tote Board. Fans will also be to express their best wishes to the 19-for-19 mare on a large banner that will be sent to Louisville where Zenyatta will attempt to defend her title in the Breeders' Cup Classic on Nov. 6 at Churchill Downs.
Owned by the Lanni Family Trust and trained by Bob Baffert, Awesome Patriot, a son of Awesome Again and the Cee's Tizzy mare Tizamazing, won by one length as the favorite, leading throughout in the race at 6 ½ furlongs. A victory would be the second in a row in the Goodman for Baffert, who won with Macias in 2009.
Purchased for $350,000 as a yearling at the Keeneland September sale, Awesome Patriot earned $22,800 for his win.
Trained by Craig Lewis for Six S Racing Stable and Niko Petralia, Clubhouse Ride will be seeking his third victory in succession. The Candy Ride colt out of the Seeking the Gold mare Seeking Results lost the first fives times he started, but has picked up his game.
After defeating maidens by a half-length on Aug. 14 at Del Mar, the $22,000 January purchase won the Barretts Juvenile as the 8-5 favorite on Sept. 19 at Fairplex. He has earned $100,470 in seven outings.
Celestic Night and Winning Desire finished 1-2 in the C.B. Afflerbaugh on Sept. 15 at Fairplex.
The former, a son of Vindication and the Sky Classic mare Celestic, earned his second win in a row with the three-quarters of a length tally in the seven-furlong Afflerbaugh. He has banked $43,740 in four races for owner Marco Gonzalez and trainer Neil French.
Favored when second in his latest, Winning Desire is a gelded son of The Daddy and the Yankee Victor mare Poppy's Baby Girl. Successful in his debut against $62,500 maidens Aug. 18 at Del Mar, Winning Desire has earnings of $28,950 for a partnership that includes Denny Kanakaris and Bert Lane and trainer Bob Hess, Jr.
McKenzies Way was a non factor in the Del Mar Futurity, a Grade 1, in his first try versus winners. The Wildcat Heir colt and the Pulpit mare Love the Blues has a win in three races for owner William Sims and trainer Bob Troeger. He's earned $30,400.
Owned and bred by trainer Myung Kwon Cho, Premier Pegasus won at 44-1 in his debut at Del Mar on July 24. The Fusaichi Pegasus colt out of the Summer Squall mare Squall Linda earned $30,000 for the one length score.Rounding out the field for the Goodman, which is the eighth race on the card, is Road Ready, second in the Barretts Juvenile after finishing eighth of 11 in the Del Mar Futurity on Sept. 8. The son of More Than Ready and the Unbridled mare Eishin Bridle won at first asking on June 12 at Golden Gate Fields. Road Ready has earned $48,180 for trainer Jeff Bonde, who also owns the Kentucky bred with Murray Smith and James Vreeland.
From inside out, the lineup for the Jack Goodman Stakes: Premier Pegasus, Alonso Quinonez, 118; Celestic Night, Joel Rosario, 118; McKenzies Way, Victor Espinoza, 118; Awesome Patriot, Martin Garcia, 118; Road Ready, Rafael Bejarano, 118; Clubhouse Ride, Patrick Valenzuela, 122 and Winning Desire, David Flores, 116.

how does the free market fund basic research?
What is the incentive?
"Since people are concerned that 'X' will not be provided, 'X' will naturally be provided by those who are concerned by its absence.""The sweetest of minds can harbor the harshest of men."
Payoff from what is created.
Define basic research.
Kelvin Silva:
how does the free market fund basic research?
What is the incentive?
The profit motive.
Some wealthy people would also fund research to cure their own ills. Like Steve Jobs for cancer, Junior Seau for brain injuries, Christopher Reeve for spinal injuries...
Why anarchy fails
The Production Of Science. This Week in Liberty, Episode 3.
See http://libertarianpapers.org/articles/2012/lp-4-2-5.pdf for a review of the main book on the topic.
I found an interesting quote:
While private companies can discover what kind of research they need
to do in order to improve their products, governments do not know what
type of research should take priority
Could you, then, treat scientific improvement as a capital good? And just as government cannot ration capital efficiently, it is not able to ration scientific improvements (ie, money to fund science).
Government cannot know in which direction to push science, so it must rely on popular opinion or corporate lobbyists (or just be completely random).
P.S. Could lobbyists actually serve a semi-important function in a mixed economy in regard to science? After all, they bring in an element of the price system into government - the companies bid for stolen money. Eh, I'm not a fan.
Wheylous, I think the way to interpret that passage is this: Governments don't know what type of research is or would be most urgently demanded by consumers, what type of research is or would be next most urgently demanded by consumers, and so on. And since governments get their revenues by (aggressive) coercion (either directly or indirectly), they have no incentive to align their research investments with consumer preferences. On the contrary, they have a strong incentive to align their research investments with their own preferences, namely to improve their methods of coercion.
The keyboard is mightier than the gun.
Non parit potestas ipsius auctoritatem.
Voluntaryism Forum
The same way it funds everything else? Some entrepreneur executes a plan to supply basic research to anyone who wants to pay for it.
The older I get the more convinced I am that the basic research funded by force through the direction several thousand bureaucrats in Washington DC and the state capitals is nothing but a boondoggle. And unfortunately, like student loans, the college flimflam and other government research institutions like DOD, NASA, NSF, NIH, etc these are a bunch GIANT bubble that have blown up in these areas and at some point are going to pop.
The issue with force funded research is the that this creates giant "Islands of Chaos" in the economy where the output of this work more often than not goes into a journal or some other book into a library OR WORSE becomes the intellectual property of some corporation or the government thus becoming lost effort to humanity at large.

The National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) announced today that Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Calif., has earned re-accreditation from the NTRA Safety and Integrity Alliance. The re-accreditation followed a complete review of all racing operations at the facility. Hollywood Park received its initial Alliance accreditation in June 2009. All accreditations and re-accreditations carry an effective period of two years.
Hollywood Park is the fifth Alliance-accredited racetrack to earn re-accreditation. Keeneland Race Course received re-accreditation from the Alliance in April of this year, Churchill Downs and Pimlico Race Course each earned re-accreditation last month, and Arlington Park earned re-accreditation last week.
The re-accreditation of Hollywood Park was the culmination of a lengthy certification process that began with the track's completion of a 48-page written application and continued as Hollywood Park hosted several meetings with Alliance officials. The on-site review included inspections of all facets of the racing facility, with special attention paid to areas that were newly added to the Alliance's Code of Standards in 2010 and 2011. Such areas containing new or more stringent requirements include wagering security, injury reporting, post-mortem veterinary inspections, jockey health and safety, paddock safety, aftercare/transitioning of retired racehorses and cross-jurisdictional sharing of vet's list data. Interviews were also conducted with track executives, racetrack personnel, jockeys, owners, trainers, stewards and fans. The inspection team was comprised of Celeste Kunz, VMD; Jim Gates, racetrack executive; and Mike Ziegler, Executive Director of the NTRA Safety and Integrity Alliance.
During the latest Alliance inspection of Hollywood Park, best practices were identified in areas including reporting of injuries and fatalities; post-mortem veterinary examination protocols; limited use of front traction devices on horseshoes; use of cushioned riding crops; equine ambulance protocols and equipment; participation in and funding of safety research; catastrophic injury planning and procedures; infectious disease management; regulation of alkalinizing substances; regulation of exogenous anabolic steroids; regulation of shock wave therapy; out-of-competition testing protocols; frozen sample testing protocols; medication and testing education; and, wagering integrity protocols including, elimination of cancel delays; exclusion of pools when non-verifiable; policy as a guest when excluded and the mechanism in place to investigate wagering incidents.
"Hollywood Park and its regulators from the California Horse Racing Board should be commended for their ongoing efforts toward improving the health, safety and welfare of racing's human and equine athletes," said Ziegler. "It is clear that safety and integrity are important to the racetrack and all who participate there."
"Safety and integrity-based racing are vital to everyone here at Hollywood Park, and we are proud to be recognized by the Alliance for several industry-wide best practices," said Jack Liebau, President of Hollywood Park. "Going through the accreditation process reminds us how important these areas are."
Hollywood Park is one of 19 racing facilities to be fully accredited. Others are Churchill Downs, Keeneland, Belmont Park, Arlington Park, Monmouth Park, Saratoga Race Course, Calder Race Course, Turfway Park, the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, Oak Tree at Santa Anita/Santa Anita Park, Fair Grounds, Aqueduct Racetrack, Pimlico Race Course, Golden Gate Fields, Woodbine, Canterbury Park, Sunland Park and, Finger Lakes Casino and Racetrack.
The Alliance, formed in October 2008 with the goal of establishing national uniform standards in the areas of safety and integrity, includes 55 racetracks in North America and every major national horsemen's organization. Alliance certification standards cover six broad areas: injury reporting and prevention; creating a safer racing environment; aftercare and transition of retired racehorses; uniform medication, testing and penalties; safety research; and wagering security. Within those six categories, specific standards focus on areas including:
• Systematic reporting of equine injuries
• Aftercare of racehorses
• Pre- and post-race veterinary examinations
• Post-mortem examinations
• Health and safety of jockeys
• Riding crops and their use
• Horse shoes and hoof care
• Safety research
• Safety equipment for jockeys and horse handlers
• Exogenous Anabolic Steroids
• Alkalinizing agents (TCO2)
• On-track emergency medical care for humans and equines
• Out-of-competition testing
• Freezing and retrospective testing of post race samples
• Continuing education
• Security assessment and training
• Totalizator technology and "stop wagering" protocols
• Wagering incident investigation
The NTRA Safety and Integrity Alliance is a standing organization whose purpose is to establish standards and practices to promote safety and integrity in horseracing and to secure their implementation. Information on the Alliance, including the Alliance Code of Standards, can be found at www.NTRAalliance.com.
The Honorable Tommy G. Thompson, former four-term Governor of Wisconsin and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, serves as independent monitor of the Alliance and will provide public reports on Alliance progress in instituting safety and integrity standards.

This was Brad and my first time doing this and i have to admit i was a little worried if they would like my cooking .lets just say i was happy every time we sat down and there was no talking for a little bit ,they were to busy eating . it was even better when they went back for seconds .We are to make extra food for lunches and that was even a challenge when they eat almost all of it at dinner .
the weather was nice for half the week and the other was in the clouds and rain but Brad and i still went out for walks . I still had fun going out side in the rain and 50 mph winds ,you cant do that at home .
if you never volunteered before ,you can cook ,clean and get along with the crew then you will do just fine .
