LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Police need your help in solving the case of a shooting involving a Marine Corps veteran. The veteran was hit in the stomach by a bullet this week but the shooter is still on the streets.
LMPD's 4th Division detectives say two people were inside a red SUV on Monday leaving the Kingdom Nightclub around 3:30 in the morning it the 3200 block of Taylor Boulevard. A woman in her 20's was then shot in the stomach.
Police say this was "not a random act of violence." There was no fight in or outside of the club that led up to it. All they know is that she was targeted for some reason and she has no criminal history.
"All we know is that two people were sitting in a car in a parking lot. Someone approached the vehicle from the rear and shot into the vehicle," Detective Douglas Brooks, LMPD 4th Division said.
There were no security cameras in the area, so detectives have no solid leads on suspects. If you know anything about this case you are asked to call 574-LMPD.

15 Delicious Ways to Eat, Drink & Enjoy St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day arrives just when the seasons are at their most ambivalent. Will it rain? Will it snow? Will the sun suddenly appear, bringing gardens and green delicious things back to life? The simple country fare on the traditional St. Patrick's Day table reflects this tipping point between winter and spring. Here are some of our favorite delicious ways to celebrate this Irish-American holiday.
Over-wintered potatoes and cabbage, along with preserved beef and bacon are the classic choices — along with a pint of good Irish beer. Here are some simple ways to enjoy St. Patrick's and the Irish influence in American cooking. From a vegetarian hash to succulent roasted cabbage with bacon, and real Irish scones to a hot Irish cocktail, pick up a plate or a glass and be Irish, at least for today, saying goodbye to winter and hello to spring.
Here's a smattering of good yet simple Irish eats (and drinks!) we'd like to indulge in today. Many are vegetarian (Guinness Stew, Red Flannel Hash) and most are simple ways to enjoy the vegetables that are still available to us here in the late throes of winter and early spring. Happy St. Patrick's Day, and happy cooking!
• 1 Red Flannel Hash - Onions, potatoes, cabbage, and... beets! No corned beef in this hash, which is a wonderful way to start or end your day.
• 2 Roasted Cabbage with Bacon - One of my favorite recipes ever, and it just has a couple of ingredients. It turns out silky, plump cabbage wedges, shiny from the olive oil and bacon.
• 3 Vegetarian Guinness Stew - Another vegetarian way to enjoy vegetables and St. Patrick's at the same time.
• 4 Nigella Lawson's Chocolate Guinness Cake - Don't care for Guinness? That's fine — just use it in this rich, chocolatey cake instead.
• 5 Real Irish Scones - Sara Kate went to Ireland and brought back this recipe for these moist, light little pats of joy.
• 6 My Mother's Irish Soda Bread - Classic Irish soda bread, with buttermilk, caraway seeds, and golden raisins.
• 7 10 Ways to Eat a Potato (and Just a Potato) for Dinner - The most enduring culinary symbol of Ireland is still the potato, and this post celebrates that humble, wonderful vegetable with ten ways to let it stand on its own for dinner.
• 8 Kerrygold Aged Cheddar with Irish Whiskey - And if you just want a bite of cheese with your Irish scones or bread, then this cheese flavored with Irish whiskey is your best bet.
• 9 Cheddar & Chive Guinness Bread - Lots of Irish-inspired ingredients packed into one delicious loaf of bread.
• 10 Chocolate Stout Pudding Pie - Beer in your pie? When it's as luxurious as this one, oh yes.
• 11 Irish-Style Lager from Rogue Ales - This year's beer pick for St. Paddy's.
• 12 Warm Up to St. Patrick's With an Irish Whiskey Skin - A hot and potent mix of whiskey, lemon, water, and sugar. An Irish cousin to the Hot Toddy, and just right for the colder moments of spring.
• 13 The Trouble With Irish Whiskey (and James Joyce Cocktails) - Bushmills, Jameson, and the James Joyce cocktail.
• 14 Beer Float! - One of our favorite ways to enjoy Guinness or any other proper Irish stout is with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sacrilege! say the beer purists, but really, an ice cream-stout float must be tried at least once. Bitter, sweet, cold, and delicious!
• 15 Irish Coffee - Classic and wonderful!
What are you cooking for St. Patrick's Day? Is the classic corned beef and cabbage on your table? Or are you branching out with something a little different?

Shortbread cookies and tea.
i made the guinness cupcakes with bailey's cream cheese frosting last night and brought them into work today. huge success!
HILARIOUS! No one in modern ireland would eat any of this! Strictly american-irish!!
Our St. Patty's day meal was this one; http://www.fresh365online.com/recipes/2009/3/17/irish-vintage-cheddar-and-beer-fondue.html. It's simple and fresh and good with beer. Maudite is my favorite with cheddar, both in the recipe and for drinking while you're eating it :)
Corned beef and cabbage all the way--I don't even like it much, but I feel like it's my civic duty!--and of course soda bread, Irish cheddar cheese, Irish butter, Guinness, Smithwicks...:)
@ rtg: I'm delighted to tell you that "Modern Ireland" does still partake in lots of these things... I make fresh soda bread every weekend, my mother makes soda & potato breads at the weekend & we all have the good ol' Irish cooked breakfasts with them too. As for Guinness, hubby drinks it each week (but NOT with the breakfast!) I use Bushmills whisky to de-glaze my pan when I cook steaks for a creamy, tasty sauce, oh and a batch of scones is usually on the go if anyone calls round as they're so quick & easy to make and you can chat in the kitchen as you do them. I'm delighted to have such yummy culinary treats to share with the rest of the world, but don't just save them for once a year! (oh, and the soda bread we make for breakfast tends to be plain with no seeds or raisins... that would be more like something you'd have a slice of slathered in butter to accompany a wee cup of tea!)
I love any kind of excuse to make a themed meal so corned beef, cabbage and potatoes it will be! Hubby has been brining his brisket since last week so looking forward to it.
I've got corned beef, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes in the slow cooker as we speak -- a technique that works great for this particular meal! I'm having my St. Pat's tonight because of other weekend plans.
I also be making a soda bread with whole wheat and oatmeal, all served with some spicy mustard.
For dessert I'm keeping it simple: baked apples with vanilla ice cream.
And of course: Guinness.
Delighted to hear, Gillythefilly, that Ireland partakes in some of these yummies!
Growing up, St. Pat's dinner was a pretty big deal in my household. I'd say it was #4 behind Xmas, Easter, and Halloween.
My Irish-American grandmother and grandfather McMartin (my mom's parents) always told us kids that St. Patrick's Day was a uniquely Irish-American celebration, a way for Irish immigrants to come together and bond over a good meal -- especially since they were often pretty outcast from the larger community.
Making my Dad's slowcooker corned beef and possibly the above cheddar chive bread if I have any guinness left:) Also, colcannon w/kale from the first Portland farmer's market this year!
I put it on the wrong thread! I made this vegetarian beer stew pie. Roasted mushrooms, beer-braised carrots and turnips and sharp cheddar in a peppery crust. Lovely!
I just did the twice-baked potatoes with corned beef and roasted cabbage from Melissa Clark's new cookbook. Who knew roasted cabbage was SO delicious?! I was eating it straight off the pan.
We're having prawns, colcannon made with thick bacon and cabbage, and a Guiness... Keeping it simple and enjoying our unseasonably warm weather this St. Patrick's Day.
I'm traveling tomorrow, so we needed a highly transportable St. Patty's Day treat!
Enter: Shortbread cookies made with Kerrygold butter!
@RTG: Hilarious, how? Yes, these meals are largely Irish-American, but so be it. As a 3rd-generation Irish-American, I am pleased to carry on a tradition that my grandparents adopted when they came to this awesome country. So laugh away. I'm going to be enjoying my corned beef and cabbage, potatoes, carrots and homemade soda bread. YUM!
Last year, I made Beef and Guinness Pie and Colcannon for St. Pat's and it was a big hit. This year, I'm going to be volunteering and my boyfriend's going to be doing 200k on his bike, so I'm going to keep it simple: tortellini with pesto, tomatoes, and sauteed zucchini. Hardly Irish, but at least it's green! And we did decorate my honey's bike with a green garland and big green bow!

To prevent medical errors, think defensively. Mistakes can occur anywhere—at the doctor's office, the pharmacy, or the hospital. Errors may result in a wrong diagnosis, medicine, or surgery, or an infection or serious complication.
Medicine errors are one of the most common medical errors. You can help avoid them if you understand the medicines you are supposed to be taking and how you should take them.
Keep these tips in mind when you are prescribed medicine:
Problems with diagnosis are another kind of error that you can help your doctors avoid. Even experienced doctors can forget to think of a diagnosis under some circumstances. If you think you know what might be wrong with you, insist that the doctor clearly explains what evidence he has that makes that diagnosis unlikely.
One of the most common kind of medical errors is called "premature closure." This occurs when doctors come to a firm conclusion before they have considered all of the alternatives—even when one of these alternatives is the correct diagnosis.
Even the best and most experienced doctors are at risk for premature closure, and our experience with human nature tells us that it can be very difficult for someone who has made his mind up firmly to change it easily. If the doctor offers a diagnosis that seems unlikely to you, you can help prevent error by asking the doctor:
A uniquely avoidable error is when doctors or nurses misidentify you as another patient and try to give you the treatment intended for that person. Be sure you know what treatments or tests you are expected to receive. If you think something unexpected is being done to you, be sure to confirm that this is what your doctor intended for you.
Decreasing your risk of a hospital error begins before you need care. Learn about your condition so you can make informed decisions. Share your medical information with all providers. Ask questions.
The Magnet Nursing Services Recognition Program for Excellence in Nursing Services was developed to recognize facilities that provide outstanding nursing care. Ask if the hospital you are considering has this status.
Despite nurses' importance, hospitals may be understaffed. Therefore, it is vital to understand nurse staffing levels and overtime policies. A tired nurse is more likely to make a mistake. Does the hospital rely on temporary nurses? Unfamiliarity with the unit or care needed increases error risk.
Find out how many procedures like yours the hospital does. For certain procedures, such as
coronary artery bypass surgery, hospitals with more experience have better results. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers a website where you can compare hospitals all over the country. Consumer Reports also has ratings information on hospitals, but you will need to subscribe to receive this information.
Enlist a friend or family member as an advocate, prepared to politely inquire if anything seems amiss. Raising questions puts the brakes on possible mistakes and gives the healthcare providers time to think.
While you are in the hospital, consider asking healthcare workers who will touch you whether they have washed their hands. Handwashing can prevent the spread of infections in hospitals.
Patients preparing for surgery should also talk with the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and nurse so that everyone agrees on what is going to happen.
Before you leave the hospital, be sure to ask your doctor to explain the treatment plan you will follow at home. This includes new medicines, follow-up apppointments, and when you can resume normal activities.
Medical miracles happen regularly in surgical suites and modern hospitals, but so do mistakes. Investing time and effort in your own care helps ensure positive outcomes. Welcome to the most important team you will ever join.

The BMC Racing Team is prepared for the sometimes fickle fall weather of Belgium when the four-stage Circuit Franco-Belge begins Thursday, said Assistant Director Rik Verbrugghe.
Ready For Anything
"The weather conditions are a big factor," Verbrugghe said. "If there is wind or bad weather, it could be a strange race. But with good weather, it could be four days of sprints." Michael Schär, who has played a contributing role in four of the BMC Racing Team's five top 10 finishes this month, said strong teamwork can continue that success. "With Taylor Phinney, who has a good shape from the worlds, and Alessandro Ballan, who has a super experience in these kind of races, we are going to try to work together and go for a result," Schär said.
BMC Racing Team Circuit Franco-Belge Roster (Sept. 29-Oct. 2):
Alessandro Ballan (ITA), Marcus Burghardt (GER), Mathias Frank (SUI), Steve Morabito (SUI), Taylor Phinney (USA), Ivan Santaromita (ITA), Michael Schär (SUI), Johann Tschopp (SUI).

I recently purchased my first Martin, a 2005 Cougar III and I noticed each limb is marked H5. Can anyone tell me what this indicates?
I recently purchased my first Martin, a 2005 Cougar III and I noticed each limb is marked H5. Can anyone tell me what this indicates?
Is it H5 or 5H? not that its important.
The marking indicates the style and weight of the limb. The number refer's to relative stiffness of the limb and the letter refers to the style. eg H6 would have heavier draw weight than H5.
There is no direct correlation between the number "5" and the poundage. As this will change from one cam to another, ie a h5 may be a fifty lb limb with a Uni-cam, but because of different mechanical advantage, it may be higher or lower with a Nitrous or Tru-arc.
I am not sure what each letter code specifically means, but I assume it refers to length (14'',16", elite) and or the colour of the limb. It may refer to Heavy medium or light, but I'd need a tech to confirm it.
Another good response, Mr. Mnemonic. The letter, though, actually refers to a sub-size classification. While the difference between an L, M or H is small in measured draw weight, they help to evenly match each pair of limbs. While a pair of #5 limbs, for instance, will achieve X amount of pounds, regardless of letter classification, a set of 5M's will assure both limbs provide evenly matched stifffnes and proper tiller.
Just one more step to assure better quality.

Not sure what to say
I really want to like these pants. I am 5'6". The misses with the 32" is too long and the petite 30" is too short. Also, my body is not a petite size so the pant waist is not comfortable. Not thrilled Chadwicks changed many of their pants size from 31" to either 32" and 30".
Hollywood, PA
Love These Pants!
I love these pants so much I have several pairs. You really can dress them up or wear them for a more casual look. They're incredible comfortable but look really nice. I'm 5'5" and normally buy misses, but in these I ordered all petite. I prefer the 30" inseam of the petite size. The 32" misses inseam was just too long for me.
Great fit

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 6, 2010)-Tanda, who demonstrated she was more than a turf specialist in her last start on March 28, will look for her third win in succession in the $100,000 Railbird Stakes on Sunday at Hollywood Park.
Owned by Tommy Hutton's Dream Stable LLC and trained by Dan Hendricks, Tanda had two wins and a second in three races on grass before switching to the main in her graded stakes debut.
In the Santa Paula, a Grade III at Santa Anita, Tanda, a daughter of Sweetsouthernsaint out of the Dr. Caton mare Doc's Stormy Girl, saved ground, then burst through a seam early in the stretch and kicked away from her four opponents. At the finish, she had 4 ¼ lengths on La Nez. It was her third win in five tries. She has earned $127,710.
Fifth in her debut on the Cushion Track at Hollywood Park on Dec. 11, Tanda will break from the rail, like she did in the Santa Paula, on Sunday in the Grade III at seven furlongs. Alex Solis, who is now competing regularly in Kentucky, will be in to ride the 121-pound highweight.
The top earner in the field is All Due Respect. Owned by Al and Sandee Kirkwood and trained by Kathy Walsh, the Value Plus filly and the Devil His Due mare Aunt Due has banked $150,032 while winning once in seven races. She was well beaten when last in the Fantasy, a Grade II, taken by Blind Luck on April 2 at Oaklawn Park.
In her last appearance in California, All Due Respect was beaten by a neck by Crisp after setting the pace in the Santa Anita Oaks. She finished a neck in front of Blind Luck in that Grade 1. Rafael Bejarano will ride All Due Respect and she will carry 115 pounds.
Vision In Gold, will be shortening up a bit for trainer Ron Ellis after winning a mile race against maidens on March 11 at Santa Anita. Owned by Mace and Samantha Siegel's Jay Em Ess Stable, the daughter of Medaglia d'Oro and the Corporate Report mare Corporate Vision has trained well at Hollywood Park since her victory. Tyler Baze has the call.
Trainer John Sadler is scheduled to run a pair in the Railbird, a race he won with Melair in 1986 and with Sportfull Snob eight years later.
Switch, a Quiet American filly out of the Nicholas mare Antoniette, is back home after finishing fourth in the Bonnie Miss, a Grade II, on March 20 at Gulfstream Park.
Owned by C R K Stable, Switch is 1-for-1 at Hollywood Park. She defeated maidens in her debut last Dec. 13. Prior to her trip to Florida, Switch finished third in both the Santa Ynez and Las Virgenes, where she was only beaten by a half-length, at Santa Anita. Blind Luck and Evening Jewel finished directly in front of her in the Las Virgenes, a Grade 1, and were the 1-2 finishers in the Kentucky Oaks on April 30.
The other Sadler entrant is Stockings. Owned by Michael Talla, the Hennessy filly and the Jade Hunter mare Chikita, is also 1-for-1 in Inglewood. She won against maidens last Dec. 11. In her most recent start, Stockings won a first level allowance on March 10 at Santa Anita.
Looking for his first victory in the Railbird, Bob Baffert will also have two representatives – Crisis Of Spirit and Seriously.
Owned by breeder Mike Pegram, Crisis Of Spirit, a Vindication filly out of the Storm Cat mare Silverbulletway, disappointed in the Santa Paula, finishing fourth, six lengths behind Tanda. She has won two of five, including the Anoakia last fall.
Seriously, a daughter of Gulch and the Wolf Power mare Mutton Maniac, was a nose loser in a first level allowance here a week ago. She has one win in nine starts for Thoroughbred Legends Racing Stable.
Like Tanda and Vision In Gold, Southern Fireball is coming off a win. The Southern Image filly out of the Carson City mare Hot Moon won on the turf at Santa Anita on April 4. It was her first start of 2010 for trainer Doug O'Neill. She won over this surface by 4 ½ lengths in her second career race last May 14.
From the rail out, here is the complete field for the 48th running of the Railbird Stakes: Tanda, Alex Solis rides, 121 pounds; Vision In Gold, Tyler Baze, 115; Seriously; Martin Pedroza, 115; All Due Respect, Rafael Bejarano; 115; Crisis Of Spirit, Martin Garcia, 117; Southern Fireball, Victor Espinoza, 117; Church Camp, Joe Talamo, 117; Win For M'lou, David Flores, 115; Stockings, Mike Smith, 117 and Switch, Joel Rosario 115.

Sunday's edition of Ronde van het Groene Hart shapes up to be as much a battle against weather as it is will be against the competition for the BMC Racing Team. Rain and wind is forecast for the 207.4 km Dutch semi-classic.
Good Positioning Important

Eileen Guo
Eileen Guo is an entrepreneur working to empower communities in transitioning environments by connecting local talent with global audiences and opportunities.
As the Founder of Impassion Afghanistan, Afghanistan's first digital agency, she is leading the company's various information and communications technology (ICT) initiatives, including creating and curating Paiwand, Kabul's answer to Social Media Week; designing Paiwandgāh, a citizen journalism platform that came out of Paiwand; and advising and training media organizations, embassies, and Afghan government on social media and mobile technology adoption.
Prior to Impassion, Eileen created, conspired on, and led projects with cross-border and cross-sector impact. These included developing and managing FieldEx, an innovative field-based civil-military training program for students and practitioners working in conflict and disaster response; designing digital communications for TEDxKabul, the first ever TED event in Afghanistan; and serving as media relations mentor for a global portfolio of start-ups crowdfunding on the StartSomeGood platform.
Eileen has been recognized for her work by the World Economic Forum as a Global Shaper and by the Young Professionals in Foreign Policy (YPFP) and Diplomatic Courier as one of "99 Top Foreign Policy Professionals Under 33."
Eileen writes about technology, culture, and post-conflict for a variety of publications including VentureBeat and the New York Times. Her work has been featured in the Washington Post, The Guardian, Fast Company, Fox News, and Vice, among others.
When she's not working, Eileen enjoys spending long days anywhere there is ocean, attempting to cook for friends, and writing (check out her blog here.)
Eileen has a track record of creating sustainable new organizations from the ground up. Some of the initiatives that she has started or worked on, at early stages, include:
Impassion Afghanistan
Mission: Help governments, businesses, and community engage in the networked world.
Eileen is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Impassion Afghanistan, Afghanistan's first digital media agency. Impassion Afghanistan was created to help world-changing organizations increase impact through social media and mobile technology. Impassion combines experience in media, communications, and technology with local, regional, and cultural expertise to provide new insights into clients' target audiences and create the most effective social and mobile campaigns. It is an affiliate of VA-based Impassion Media, which Eileen founded in March 2012.
Mission: Create a connected, empowered community of Afghan social media users
5 Provinces Throughout Afghanistan
In September 2013, Paiwand brought together 200+ of Afghanistan's social media users from 24 provinces and abroad for the country's first ever social media summit, aimed at encouraging social media use around the country. The summit was part of a three-part program, including provincial trainings in 5 provinces across Afghanistan, as well as a virtual engagement component or the summit and training alumni. From concept ideation to implementation, Eileen was the creator, director, and chief conspirator behind Paiwand. The Paiwand team is currently starting the planning process for Paiwand 2014.
Mission: Highlight innovation and hope in Kabul
Kabul, Afghanistan
In 2012, the world famous TED talks came to Kabul in the form of TEDxKabul. TEDxKabul featured stories of resilience, inspiration, and innovation. Bringing together 100 audience members from all across Kabul and afghanistan and speakers representing technology, art, social activism, TEDxKabul successfully showcasef another side of Kabul, one that is creative and forward-looking. Eileen provided her digital expertise in bringing the inaugeral TEDxKabul to life, serving as digital communications and press lead.
McChrystal Group
Mission: Transform teams and organizations through proven leadership solutions that drive innovation, growth, and unparalleled results in dynamic operating environments.
Alexandria, Virgina
Eileen was an early employee at the McChrystal Group, a unique leadership development firm founded by some of America's greatest modern military leaders, including retired four-star general Stanley McChrystal. GEN McChrystal is generally credited with positively transforming the way the special operations community operated during his command of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC.) Eileen contributed to the training team, serving as the point of contact for 1-day leadership training events and keynote speeches for Fortune 500 clients. Additionally, she designed the company's cross-platform digital media strategy still being used to this day. This included managing the partners' social media presence and contributions, including General McChrystal's LinkedIn profile, and building a self-sustaining online community of chief executives and other corporate leaders.
Mission: Provide a civil-military field training experience for civilian and military students
Boston, Massachusetts
After participating in the first ever Counterinsurgency-Humanitarian Exercise at Tufts University, Eileen wanted to expand the experience to other students, and founded and ran FieldEx (the Field Exercise in Peace and Stability Operations) from 2010-2011. FIELDEX sought to expose participants to the difficulties of decision making during conflict, the complementary and competing interests of the stakeholders involved, and the inter-agency collaboration essential for a successful mission. Today, FIELDEX remains a fully-funded student organization at Tufts University attracting participants from as far afield as the U.S. Air Force Academy, Northwestern University, the U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy, and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
"Eileen Guo speaks, acts, and thinks with clarity, purpose, and intent in whatever she sets her sights and vision towards creating. Her instinctive strategic and entrepreneurial mindset is enhanced by her deep understanding of social media and exemplary networking abilities, essential to success in the modern world. When I need fresh, intelligent, global perspectives, I seek and trust Eileen's counsel, research, and advice."
David Danelo, Director of Field Research at the Foreign Policy Research Institute
"Eileen first came to work for McChrystal Group as a leadership development analyst supporting our 1-day events, but quickly revealed a strong talent for communications strategy. While excelling in her assigned duties, she took the initiative to design and implement a cross-platform digital strategy that we continue to use today. Her work demonstrated a strong understanding of branding, messaging, and engagement strategy that will be invaluable to future clients. Eileen Guo is exactly the sort of creative professional that you want to lead your communications plan. I highly endorse her for all of her future work."
-GEN (Ret) Stanley McChrystal, Former Commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and Commander of U.S. Forces, Afghanistan
"When you meet Eileen, you will quickly notice a certain steely-eyed determination about her. She has bright ideas, and the rare ability to turn them into reality. I had the opportunity to experience this on two separate occasions - as my research assistant in Afghanistan and in creating FIELDEX out of a smaller exercise that I had run.
I recommend Eileen in the strongest terms. If you are looking to work or do business cross-culturally, you need her on your team. Eileen has a rare combination of intellect, maturity, and the ability to pick up skills and information at a very fast pace. I can't stress enough that I've never met another person who could even come close to pulling off the work that she has."
–Toby Bonthrone, Afghanistan and Counterinsurgency Researcher

Liberty and Property
Delivered at the ninth meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society; Princeton, New Jersey; 9 September 1958. [45:18]
In 1956, the Mont Pelerin Society was entering a difficult period in which its intellectual lights were drifting away from liberalism of the old school. Ludwig von Mises used his speech that year to explain why this was a terrible trend. He didn't rebuke anyone. What he did was back away from the events of the day to provide a sweeping reconstruction of economic history from the ancient world to the present. He provided a model of how to think outside one's own generation to understand the really big issues and the moral and practical urgency of embracing total freedom.
The result is an essay for the ages. It is profound, visionary, and compelling beyond belief. Would that every undergraduate, or even citizen, read this piece. In here, Mises describes the revolutionary meaning of capitalism in human history, and how it was responsible for the most spectacular increases in the standard of living of the common man ever. It was mass production that lead people to live longer, healthier, and happier lives.
Contemporary reports from the event in which he delivered this paper suggest that the people there were uninterested in Mises's point of view, but this is much to their shame. For what he left us with remains one of the most dazzling presentations of the case for economic liberty ever written. It is the perfect combination of high intelligence, vast historical understanding, and moral passion.
From: Ludwig von Mises Archives , Sunday, February 29, 2004 by Ludwig von Mises

From staff reports
Keith Henry has been named as Catawba's defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.
A Catawba All-American in the 1980s, he has been an assistant football coach at Wake Forest the past 11 seasons. He's coached outside linebackers, defensive ends and defensive backs and was special teams coordinator in 2011.
Henry coached at Ohio University six seasons before joining the Wake Forest staff. He's also coached at North Carolina A&T, Charleston Southern and Gardner-Webb.
In his playing career at Catawba as a free safety, Henry had 398 tackles and 20 interceptions. He's still tied for the school record interceptions record. He was a first-team All-America pick in 1988, a second-team pick in 1987 and Honorable Mention in 1986.
Henry is remembered for one of the best-known plays in Catawba history, his blocked punt for a safety that provided the only points in a 2-0 win against Carson-Newman in 1987.
A four-time All-SAC player, Henry was elected to the Catawba Sports Hall of Fame in 2000 and entered the SAC Hall of Fame in 2001.

176 PiMs with still 4 minutes left in the first period. Old time hockey.
Torts decided to visit the Flames dressing room after the period? Clint Malarchuk looked like he wanted a piece of Torts as well. Torts has lost his mind, he should be gone for a while with a sizable (I'm thinking $100,000) fine to get rid of this BS. Its 2014, not 1974, Slap Shot is a great movie, but that era is history!
Party in the penalty box
Tortorella is a psycho. Malarchuk looked so pissed, I think I saw veins bulging in his head. I kinda wish McGrattan would handled Tortorella, that could've been entertaining. The Canucks organization has no class from top to bottom. I hope Calgary beats the crap out of Vancouver. If Torts was a smart guy he'd pull Luongo from this game. It's probably going to get ugly.
Did you guys see the broadcast? Torts went down the Calgary tunnel, and the coaches had a little melee, including someone gloving Clint Malarchuk in the face. I think there's going to be some money being sent to the NHL after this one.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (October 10, 2012)—Rousing Sermon, runner-up in the Grade I CashCall Futurity last Dec. 17 at Betfair Hollywood Park, is among eight scheduled to run in the $175,000 Lava Man California Cup Classic Saturday at Santa Anita.
Run at 1 1/16 miles, the Classic is the signature event of the California Cup, a series of races restricted to horses bred or sired in the state. Scheduled post time for the Classic, which is the ninth of 10 races, is 5:08 p.m. Track gates at Betfair Hollywood Park will open at 10:15 a.m. for simulcasts.
Owned by breeders Mr. and Mrs. Larry D. Williams and trained by Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendorfer, Rousing Sermon will be seeking his first win of 2012 Saturday. The 3-year-old son of Lucky Pulpit is winless in seven starts this year, including a fourth place finish in the Grade II Super Derby Sept. 8 at Louisiana Downs.
Successful in two of 13 lifetime with earnings of $477,000, Rousing Sermon will race without blinkers for the first time since he finished third in the Graduation Stakes Aug. 3, 2011 at Del Mar.
The likely favorite in the Classic is John Scott, who was a two-time winner over Cushion Track during the Spring/Summer meet. Owned by breeder Harris Farms, Inc. and trained by Carla Gaines, the 5-year-old gelded son of Bertrando won an optional claimer at seven furlongs May 26, then stretched to 1 1/16 miles and defeated 2009 Hollywood Gold Cup winner Rail Trip in a $66,338 allowance June 28.

The Mixdown: Daphni - Jiaolong
By: Matthew Vega
Dan Snaith refuses to settle for just one: one name, one sound, or one standard. For years, the soft-spoken Canadian has been anything but standard. Trekking around the globe, he grandstands as his various aliases that consist of Caribou, Daphni, and the now defunct Manitoba. If you haven't heard of him by now, just look at the exhaustive lists of 2010's top albums, and find that Swim appeared on a solid 9 of them. Or you might have caught the Caribou Vibration Ensemble opening for none other than Radiohead this past spring. It's also very possible that Snaith's recent Spin Magazine interview was feed-fed to you, where he concisely explains his disdain for the "EDM barfsplosion" currently saturating pop music. One thing is certain, if you haven't crossed paths with this artisan purveyor of synth, it's high time you get familiar.
On October 16th 2012, Snaith intends to release Jiaolong (Merge) under his Daphni moniker, an immersive tour de force of surprising, evolving, and occasionally timeless dance tracks, procured from his desire to push the limits of what the genre can be. Jiaolong ends up as a serious depart from the "rituals and cliches" in pop music. In a recent interview Snaith said:
The whole point of this music is for it to sound like something unexpected and genuinely live and improvised is happening, so when I was DJing it in a club, people would get that feeling that like: 'What on earth is going to happen next? We don't know where this music's going!
That is precisely the kind of mandate for quality that Snaith's listeners have come to expect, and for good reason. Snaith is no stranger to the dance floor. As early as 2003, he frequented London record shops and was spending time with Jeremy Greenspan of Junior Boys in Canada, (whom he credits an introduction to Detroit techno,) making music under Manitoba. These are undoubtedly some influences that shaped Snaith's DJ selections and production technique, earning him top spots on the indie charts and in DJ booths alike.
From this time he's churned out remixes for Hot Chip, Carl Craig, Sinkane, and Art Department, all receiving the Daphni treatment, not to mention a fantastically curated Swim remix album. These pieces have assisted in securing Snaith as a force to be reckoned with when it comes to all things BPM.
One would assume touring with one of the worlds most recognized bands, Radiohead, has left little time for any superficial side projects such as Daphni, and Snaith has admitted that some of these tracks are, in fact, years old. Most would shy from revealing comments such as the former, however Jiaolong has a worldly, timeless feel throughout, and dates cease to be relevant. Not since Swim has there been a electronic release so full of surprises, so organic in selection, and so meticulously crafted together, that it borders on mechanical. You're immediately beguiled to keep listening.
The first single, Ye Ye, released in March of 2011 on Text Records, is a pumping, breathy track, sprinkled with a "yeah, yeah" house vocal hit and schizophrenic shakes. This was and was the first release by Daphni through Four Tet's label. Upon first listen, you'd immediately understand that this is Caribou after hours, and not by chance; Snaith has been hard at work making sure there is a balance of power in all the audible emotion.
An always-humble Snaith explained in a recent interview that these tracks were "created quickly", dismissing any sort of complex explanation. Quick in this case was not of detriment, and his mastery and control of all things audible becomes immediately apparent when listening to Jiaolong as soon as the first afro-beat sample is looped on Cos-Ber-Zam - Ne Noya. The intelligent house found here is an AMG engine: hand crafted and fine tuned to its greatest potential.
The lines between Caribou and Daphni at times fade throughout, and comparisons become audible on "Jiao," a jagged, Mediterranean tinged parade, injected with a smattering of hi-hats and a strong unwavering melody that melts into a percussive rhythmic groove. However, if it's 1am "club bangers" and "a drop" you're looking for, you will be disappointed with Jiaolong. This is a record that simmers on the dance floor until it's a nice golden brown, with flare-ups every so often that remind you where Snaith comes from, and where he wants to go. He thrives at creating tension on stand out tracks like "Light" and "Ahora," with the latter instantly capturing you with its melodic, reverb laden flute melody. As complex as Jiaolong may seem, it is also very simple and accessible- a valiant, fruitful, and satisfying attempt to bring diversity to the increasingly stagnant state of EDM and club.
