Dr. Rajiv Shah serves as the 16th Administrator of USAID and leads the efforts of more than 9,600 professionals in 80 missions around the world.
Since being sworn in on Dec. 31, 2009, Shah managed the U.S. Government's response to the devastating 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti; co-chaired the State Department's first review of American diplomacy and development operations; and now spearheads President Barack Obama's landmark Feed the Future food security initiative. He is also leading "USAID Forward," an extensive set of reforms to USAID's business model focusing on seven key areas, including procurement, science & technology, and monitoring & evaluation.
Before becoming USAID's Administrator, Shah served as undersecretary for research, education and economics, and as chief scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At USDA, he launched the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, which significantly elevated the status and funding of agricultural research.
Prior to joining the Obama administration, Shah served for seven years with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, including as director of agricultural development in the Global Development Program, and as director of strategic opportunities.
Originally from Detroit, Shah earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and his master's in health economics from the Wharton School of Business. He attended the London School of Economics and is a graduate of the University of Michigan.
Shah is married to Shivam Mallick Shah and is the father of three children. He lives in Washington, D.C.
MR. TONER: Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the State Department. It's our good fortune today to have with Assistant Secretary for Population, Refugees, and Migration, Eric Schwartz and the U.S. Agency for International Development, Assistant Administrator for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance Nancy Lindborg. They've just returned from a weeklong trip to Tunisia and Egypt and are here to brief you on U.S. assistance efforts to address the humanitarian situation resulting from the crisis in Libya.
It's an honor to be here today on this historic 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. For those of us who have spent decades working on issues of women's empowerment and protection in conflict situations and development, these are heady times.
As you all know, in 2009, President Obama launched the Global Hunger and Food Security Initiative – now called "Feed the Future" - and pledged at least $3.5 billion for agricultural development and food security between 2010 and 2012. This pledge, in turn, helped leverage more than $18.5 billion from other donors. This initiative renews our commitment to invest in combating the root causes of chronic hunger and poverty. In fact, the United States is more focused today on global food security than at any other time since the earliest days of the Green Revolution. The Feed the Future strategy recognizes that food security is not just about food, but it is also closely linked to economic security, environmental security, and human security.
To me, the NIH represents one of the America's core competitive advantages. Advancing science, technology and innovation aimed directly at improving human welfare. And I believe if we can harness that capability for the poorest communities in the world, we can leave an unparalleled legacy in global health and in global development throughout the upcoming decades. To seize this opportunity, I recognize that we all need to do some things very differently. First, we need to improve the efficiency of our efforts and focus on building, really, country-led health systems instead of donor-driven, disease-control programs. NIH brings great excellence to that and Francis has done wonderful work to highlight the role of NIH fellows in the countries where we work that really demonstrate that core ethic and commitment to local leadership and local ownership of health programs. President Obama's Global Health Initiative is making real progress in this effort, proving that in global health, saving money, driving efficiencies can save more lives.
(Via Teleconference)
MS. MILLS: I hope you all enjoyed lunch, and we now have the luxury, the pleasure, and the opportunity of having the USAID Administrator, who has been not only working hard to build the kind of bridges that we need here between State and USAID, but he also has lent us his senior leadership who has been joining us for today and will be joining us tomorrow as well, so we are very grateful for the leadership he has shown.
Earlier this year, we instituted a series of reforms we now call USAID Forward. Thanks to those reforms, our agency is fundamentally changing, becoming more efficient, more effective and more businesslike, freeing our talented staff to achieve great results.
We've embarked on this effort to transform how development is delivered because development is not and cannot be a sideshow. As the president and the secretaries of state, Treasury and defense have all made abundantly clear, development is as critical to our economic prospects and our national security as diplomacy and defense.
That's why our reforms are not simply trying to update the traditional version of an aid agency. Instead, we are seeking to build something greater: a modern development enterprise. Like an enterprise, we are developing and executing more innovative and more focused strategies across each of our areas of excellence.
MR. STEINBERG: Thank you for that welcome and thank you for coming to the program here today. I'm Don Steinberg and it's my pleasure to introduce today's proceedings to mark the release of the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Defense Review, or QDDR.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Development. (Laughter.)
MR. CROWLEY: Good afternoon and welcome to the Department of State. As you all saw a little bit ago with the Secretary unveiling the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review at a town hall here at the State Department, it kicks off a lengthy process where we will be introducing this very important document that will guide reform here at the State Department and reform of our operations around the world.
UNDER SECRETARY KENNEDY: Good morning, everyone. Before beginning this Secretary of State town hall meeting on the QDDR, I would like to ask all of you to rise for a moment in a moment of silence and memory of Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, who so sadly passed away on Monday evening.
(A moment of silence is observed.)
UNDER SECRETARY KENNEDY: Thank you very much.

Biology is the study of life, ranging from molecules and their modes of action, through to understanding complex communities and their relationship with the environment. We are living in a most exciting time for studying and working in biology as new technologies, such as recombinant DNA, genomics and proteomics, place powerful tools in the hands of biologists. These advances, along with our ability to process and interpret large volumes of complex data, have generated a gigantic leap in our understanding of the fundamental molecular mechanisms and processes controlling life.
If you are planning to specialise in biology, you may wish to consider taking advanced units of study, which provide an opportunity to research an area of your special interest, working with research scientists and other professionals.
For more information on the program structure and content, view the Science Undergraduate Handbook.
Major outline
At the University of Sydney, there are several ways to study biology. Most students complete a major in biology as part of their Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree, providing great flexibility.
In First Year Biology we introduce you to modern biology and how biologists carry out scientific investigation. Topics range from genes and DNA, to understanding the human body, to theories of evolution.
Essential units:
12 credit points of Junior BIOL or 6 credit points of Junior BIOL and 6 credit points of MBLG1001/1901 are needed to enrol in Intermediate units of study in Biology. For MBLG2072/2972, MBLG1001/1901 and 6 credit points of Junior CHEM is required.
Recommended units:
Concepts in Biology BIOL1001/1911/1991, Living Systems BIOL1002/1902 and MBLG1001/1901. Students who have not completed HSC or equivalent Biology are strongly recommended to take the Biology Bridging Course in February.
To complete the major
To successfully complete a major in Biology, the minimum requirement is 24 credit points from senior BIOL units of study listed in this subject area.
More information about how to plan for your Biology major can be found here, under the Planning a Biology major tab.
Course accreditation
Graduates who hold a major in biology are recognised as accredited biological researchers by the Asia-Pacific Academy of Biologists and Microbiologists.
Graduate opportunities
As a biology graduate you can expect an exciting and rewarding career contributing to the community through opportunities in business, research, training, education and government. Even in areas where specific biological knowledge has no direct input, a wide biological knowledge and advanced analytical skills allow biology graduates to play a leading role in local and global events. As a graduate you may combine laboratory research and fieldwork to study biological systems in many of the world's remote and fascinating ecosystems.
Further study for major
If you are interested in furthering your specialisation in biology, you may wish to undertake an honours year, or a postgraduate coursework or research program, subject to admission requirements.
Rich opportunities for honours and postgraduate research are available for eligible students in a variety of biology related fields including animal behaviour, ecology, genes and genetic interactions, plant science, molecular biology and much more.

Hi, my name is Sarah and this is a blog about my life, my loves and everything in between. I'm a 28 year old, actress and writer originally from the prairies. I've lived in Vancouver for close to three years now and fall more in love with life everyday I spend in this beautiful province. One thing i've learned while being here is that life and all its moments are better shared with others, so this is the reason behind "how she learned to fly". I came to Vancouver after meeting the man of my dreams. I hate to admit that I moved for a guy, so instead I say, he was my catalyst. I had just graduated and felt the need to spread my wings and he was there to say "just jump!"…so I did. Long story short, we were engaged after six months and married a year and a half later. Since being here, I have experienced some of my highest highs and lowest lows. I decided there was no other way to live my life than to follow my heart and do what I love, so I chose to dust off my childhood dream of being an actress and actually try it out so I would never have to look back, sigh, and say "What if?" I've has some medium successes but spend a lot of my time repeating my daily mantra,"patience is everything". Well, that is the quick and dirty version of my life as of now. So I would like to say, Welcome to my world! We are all in this life together!

- Description

The grapes come from 25 year old vines planted in the Manchuela area east of La Mancha region in Central Spain. The soils are clay which is ideal for growing grapes. The climate is continental, with cold winters and hot summers. During the summer, there is great contrast between the day and night temperatures which help the grapes reach optimum ripeness. After a selective pressing, which separates the different characters of the juice, a three hour solid part maceration is conducted in order to increase the aromatic intensity of the wine. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature controlled steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve as much of the aromas as possible. Prior to bottling, the wine is cold stabilized and fined in order to retain the wine's bright and limpid character.
La Mancha is an ideal area for growing grapes because the yield per acre is low. The versatility of their land has enabled them to introduce a vast variety of grapes from around the world without problems; complementing the indigenous grapes Airen and Tempranillo. It is also the largest wine region in the world with over 1,000,000 acres of vineyards.
Macabeo is similar and sometimes confused with Viura, the workhorse white grape of Spain. It shares the gripping acidity with Viura, but with a more delicately nuanced fruit component including guava and peach nectar. Together with the varietals Parellada and Xarello, it is used in the production of the sparkling Spanish wine Cava. Spain makes the most method Champenois wine in the world.
This grape makes wine that is a light pale yellow with greenish reflections. It is a refreshing white wine, limpid and vivid. Its nose is redolent of bright tropical and citrus fruits complemented by white flowers. The palate has a well-balanced acidity and a freshness that carries through to the persistent finish.
Our selection is a lovely rendition integrating the sparse soil, in which it is grown, with warm climate to produce a wine that is both imposing yet delicate at the same time. It goes well with raw oysters, ceviche or hamachi.

A third Colorado state senator facing a possible recall vote tied to new gun restrictions has decided to resign from office.
State Sen. Evie Hudak, a Democrat, supported several controversial firearm restrictions passed in Colorado earlier this year. Two of her fellow Democrats in the state Senate lost their seats -- largely over their support of tightening gun restrictions -- in September recall elections: Sens. John Morse of Colorado Springs and Angela Giron of Pueblo. In a letter announcing her resignation, Hudak referred to several bills she supported in 2013, including a requirement for criminal background checks on all gun sales and a ban against magazines that can store more than 15 rounds of ammunition.*

Physician Bonuses
HPSA Designations
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) published an updated Federal Register Notice on June 27, 2013, that contains important information about new and withdrawn HPSA designations. For purposes of the Medicare Physician Bonus and the Medicare Surgical Bonus programs, changes in designation status are effective for dates of services on and after January 1 of the year following the designation date. Therefore, areas whose designation is shown as "Withdrawn" on the June 27, 2013 Federal Register list, remain eligible for the HPSA bonuses through December 31, 2013. Providers can review the latest HPSA designations on the HRSA website at http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/shortage/shortageareas/index.html
MMA Section 413(b) required CMS to revise some of the policies that address HPSA bonus payments. Section 1833(m) of the Social Security Act provides bonus payments for physicians who furnish medical care services in geographic areas that are designated by the HRSA as primary medical care HPSAs under section 332 (a)(1)(A) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. In addition, for claims with dates of service on or after July 1, 2004, psychiatrists (provider specialty 26) furnishing services in mental health HPSAs are also eligible to receive bonus payments. If a zip code falls within both a primary care and mental health HPSA, only one bonus will be paid on the service.
MMA Changes
Effective January 1, 2005, a modifier no longer has to be included on claims to receive the HPSA bonus payment, which will be paid automatically, if services are provided in ZIP code areas that either:
- Fall entirely in a county designated as a full-county HPSA; or
- Fall entirely within the county, through a USPS determination of dominance; or
- Fall entirely within a partial county HPSA.
However, if services are provided in ZIP code areas that do not fall entirely within a full county HPSA or partial county HPSA, the AQ modifier must be entered on the claim to receive the bonus.
The following are the specific instances in which a modifier must be entered:
- When services are provided in ZIP code areas that do not fall entirely within a designated full county HPSA bonus area;
- When services are provided in a ZIP code area that falls partially within a full county HPSA but is not considered to be in that county based on the USPS dominance decision;
- When services are provided in a ZIP code area that falls partially within a non-full county HPSA;
- When services are provided in a ZIP code area that was not included in the automated file of HPSA areas based on the date of the data run used to create the file.
To determine if a service will automatically qualify to receive the bonus payment, review the information provided on the CMS Web site. The HRSA website should be reviewed for the most recent designations. Physicians may also use the HRSA website designations when making the decision on whether or not to include the HPSA modifier on their claims.
Some points to remember include the following:
- Medicare contractors will base the bonus on the amount actually paid (not the Medicare approved payment amount for each service) and the ten-percent bonus will be paid on a quarterly basis.
- The HPSA bonus pertains only to physician's professional services. Should a service be billed that has both a professional and technical component, only the professional component will receive the bonus payment.
- The key to eligibility is not that the beneficiary lives in a HPSA nor that the physician's office or primary location is in a HPSA, but rather that the services are actually rendered in a HPSA.
- To be considered for the bonus payment, the name, address, and ZIP code of the location where the service was rendered must be included on all electronic and paper claim submissions.
- Physicians should verify the eligibility of their area for a bonus before submitting services with a HPSA modifier for areas they think may still require the submission of a modifier to receive the bonus payment.
- Services submitted with the AQ modifier will be subject to validation by Medicare.
Provider Center
For a one-stop resource web page focused on the informational needs and interests of Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) providers, including physicians, other practitioners and suppliers, go to the Provider Center (see under "Related Links Inside CMS" below).
Affordable Care Act of 2010 Changes (New for January 2011 for the HSIP Bonus)
The Affordable Care Act of 2010, Section 5501 (b)(4) expands bonus payments for general surgeons in HPSAs. Effective January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2015, physicians serving in designated HPSAs will receive an additional 10% bonus for major surgical procedures with a 10 or 90 day global period. This additional payment, referred to as the HPSA Surgical Incentive Payment (HSIP) will be combined with the original HPSA payment and will be paid on a quarterly basis. Modifier AQ should be appended for these major surgical procedures similar to claims for the Medicare original HPSA bonus when services are provided in ZIP code areas that do not fall entirely within a full or partial county HPSA.
Some points to remember:
- The current HPSA physician bonus program requirements will remain intact.
- Medicare contractors will identify and pay the additional bonus on eligible services rendered in eligible ZIP code areas based on the HPSA ZIP code file as of December 31st of the prior year.
- Medicare contractors will calculate the bonus amount based on the amount actually paid for the service, not the Medicare approved amount
- Services submitted with modifier AQ will be subject to validation by Medicare.

How long did Martin make the Altitude and does anyone know the specs on the bow? How was it to shoot, etc? Why did they quit making it? Was it a model that had much trouble?
How long did Martin make the Altitude and does anyone know the specs on the bow? How was it to shoot, etc? Why did they quit making it? Was it a model that had much trouble?
..I think they were made for two years 02 -03 ...I have an 02 ..great bow balance is very good .Hold is great.power is good I have a 26 inch draw and this is the best bow I ever had for my short draw ..the max draw is 29 ..which puts you closer to peak performance/power/speed ...I seen pictures of a guy who won a lot of target matches with it and claimed he could stack arrows with it. he showed a three arrow robin hood .. I did not see this with my own eyes . But, I have a robin hood with it ,first time for me. I am careful not to shoot at the same spot now.I don't have tons of money for arrows..However, the sales was not great for this bow as it is about 30 inch ATA ..and people think automatically it would be hard to shoot because of this .. Also, it is small light wt . of, course this is what I like about it .I once had a guy ask me why do you have a kids bow ? Ha Ha .You see how people who know no better think.. . this is a 70lb bow that kicks ***..I can carry it all day though brush or what ever .. It is a hunting machine ..I shoot squirrels out of trees with this bow ..It's a blast and one bow I won't sell .. IMO ..It can compete with most bows out there today..I think Martin should bring it back only build it more for short draw shooters . say with a max of 27 or 28 .It would be a great seller ..If they marketed it that way ...I HOPE THEY ARE READING THIS >> If you have a draw of 29 -25 you will like this bow ...

300fps. ibo 3lb 10oz. 30" ata need more? i just bought one and i only worry about fletching clearance with the cables... this is really bugging me.. i hope its a simple solution..
The altitude is really neat to shoot with and fast enought for most shooting, can´t really understand why they stopped making it
Wondering a little about the limb warranty though.
Anyone know what kinda warranty and for how long it is covered on those 2003 Martin Altitudes ?
Last edited by Jimmy J; 05-28-2006 at 05:44 PM.
todd s- there are a couple of options for fletching these days and there is also nock tuning to help with the vane clearence issue. What is ther intended purpose of the bow, hunting, fun shooting, or target competition?
Let me know and hopefully i can get you started in the right direction.
hunting and some 3 d... blazers are not gonna work with this bow
I bought a left over Altitude before Elk season this year. The fuzion cam on it was cracked due to a machining problem, so I called the Martin factory and they sent me out a Dyna Cam set up and new strings. My draw is 29 1/2 inches presently and guess what with a 408 grain arrow and 79 lbs it will shoot 314 fps! with peep and nock. My hunting arrow is a 505 gr Carbon express that shoots 286 fps, this bow put a butt whoopin on the 5x6 bull I shot this year. My buddies laughed at how little the bow was but not when they saw it shoot. It is a shame that they don't make them anymore, they are awesome. John

Why get a Los Angeles Lakers poster when you can get a Fathead? Fathead wall graphics, cut outs and outdoor ground graphics of the Lakers capture authentic game time images that show you're more than a casual Lakers fan.
The way we see it Los Angeles Lakers fans deserve something bigger and better than basketball posters, wall stickers or decals. So if you call yourself a fan then you'd better get a Los Angeles Lakers Fathead. FOR REAL.

When I was growing up in New England, Halloween was a very spooky time, as the area has a lot of scary folklore and history, such as the Salem witch trials.
We really go all-out for this holiday, and at my home, finding the perfect costume and creating fun food makes for lots of excitement.
I am sharing my caramel apple recipe with you this year, as I can't remember a Halloween without them. I hope you enjoy.
• Tomm Johnson, a professional chef, lives in Mountain House and shares his culinary expertise through his website, www.cheftomm.com. He can be reached by email at email@example.com or via Facebook.com, under the name "Culinary Secrets with Chef Tomm."
Yield: Six apples
2 cups sugar
¼ cup light corn syrup
½ cups water
1/8 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 Popsicle sticks
6 small apples
1 sheet parchment paper
Half-sheet pan or cookie sheet
Cooking spray
Additional toppings, as desired
In a small sauce pan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water and lemon juice, if using, and bring to a boil. Stir just until all the sugar is melted.
Cook until the sugar reaches 265 degrees and is golden brown. Remove from heat.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream; careful, it will spatter. Then add the butter, vanilla and salt and mix until fully incorporated. Let the caramel cool until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Meanwhile, put the Popsicle sticks into the apples. Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan and generously spray with cooking spray.
Dip the apples into the caramel and wipe off the excess using the side of the pan.
Roll into toppings, if desired, and then put the apples on the prepared parchment paper until cool.
• Chef's note: I like making these for Halloween, so once the decorated apples are cool, you can put them in cellophane bags and tie them with orange or brown ribbon.

Neil Drysdale, who worked as an assistant for Charlie Whittingham and followed the late training legend into the Racing Hall of Fame, seeks a record-equaling seventh victory in the stake named after his mentor.
Two of three Drysdale nominees for the $250,000 Grade I Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap at 1 ¼ miles on turf Saturday at Hollywood Park worked on the grass here Sunday.
Canadian import Marlang, with exercise rider Umberto Gomez, and Riviera Cocktail, exercise rider Jenelle Tomecek up, worked seven furlongs in tandem and could join Scintillo in the Whittingham. Scintillo, fourth in the Jim Murray Handicap in his United States debut here May 15, will be ridden by Martin Pedroza.
The race was won seven times by Whittingham when it was called the Hollywood Invitational Turf Handicap before being renamed in his memory following his death in 1999. Late Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel also won the race seven times, including last year with Midships.
Drysdale won with Both Ends Burning in 1985, Political Ambition in 1988, Storm Trooper in 1998, White Heart in 2000, Storming Home in 2003 and Artiste Royal in 2008.
Three other Whittingham candidates—Battle of Hastings, Rendezvous and Red Sun—also worked on turf.
Battle of Hastings, a multiple stakes winner who leads nominees in earnings with $1,171,141, worked a bullet five furlongs in 59.60. Tyler Baze has the call.
Rendezvous, third-place finisher in the Jim Murray, worked five furlongs in 1:00.40 for the Jerry Hollendorfer stable. Joe Talamo will ride.
Red Sun worked four furlongs in 47 under Victor Espinoza, who won the race last year on Midships. Trainer Carla Gaines, pleased with the work, will send the 4-year-old gelding beyond one mile for the first time in his career. He won four straight starts before a third-place finish in the San Francisco Mile at Golden Gate April 24.
Other probable starters include Jim Murray winner Acclamation (Christian Santiago Reyes), San Marcos Stakes winner Loup Breton (Rafael Bejarano), Porfido (David Flores) and Unusual Suspect (Alonso Quinonez).
Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer was, understandably, in a good mood Sunday morning.
Hollendorfer savored Tuscan Evening's first Grade I victory in the $250,000 Gamely Stakes Saturday while looking forward to sending out Blind Luck as the prohibitive favorite in the $150,000 Grade II Hollywood Oaks next Sunday.
"We'll look at one more race before the Beverly D (August 21 at Arlington Park) for Tuscan Evening," said Hollendorfer, indicating that the Beverly Hills Handicap or Royal Heroine Mile here or a prep race at Arlington head the list of options.
"Blind Luck will blow out a half mile Tuesday," said Hollendorfer of the Kentucky Oaks winner. "She's never been better."
Hollendorfer explained that the Oaks at 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track fit the filly's schedule well. "I didn't want to fly her again right now, and this race is coming up in a timely manner," he said.
Blind Luck seeks to join Sharp Cat as the only filly to win both the Hollywood Starlet and Hollywood Oaks. She completed the unprecedented sweep in 1997.
Three other Starlet winners have come up short in the Oaks: Sardula, second in 1994; Excellent Meeting, second in 1999; and Hollywood Story, third in 2004.
Blind Luck, who has won seven of 10 starts and earned $1,398,712, will again be ridden by Rafael Bejarano.
Other probable starters include the John Sadler-trained duo of Crisp and Switch, Melair Stakes Camille C, Vision In Gold (Tyler Baze) and Andares World (Victor Espinoza). Trainer Steve Specht said that Antares World, winner of the California Oaks and Golden Poppy Stakes, will be shipped south from Golden Gate.
Crisp, the last horse to have beaten Blind Luck—prevailing in a three-horse photo finish in the Santa Anita Oaks in March—worked seven furlongs on Cushion Track in 1:26. But Sadler is not anxious for a rubber match after finishing seventh behind her in the Kentucky Oaks.
"No!" said trainer Sadler candidly when asked if he looked forward to a rematch. "She's just tough!"
Jockey David Flores has taken a call to ride M One Rifle for the first time in the $100,000 Grade III Los Angeles Handicap at six furlongs Saturday, agent Craig O'Bryan confirmed Sunday.
Flores replaces Mike Smith, who had ridden the 4-year-old gelding in all his previous nine starts for trainer Bruce Headley. Smith will be in New York that day riding Drosselmeyer in the Belmont Stakes.
Headley and Flores teamed to win the race in 2008. Headley, who also won with Son of a Pistol in 1999 and Kona Gold in 2002, seeks to equal the record of four Los Angeles victories shared by Buster Millerick and John Sadler.
M One Rifle, winner of the Grade I Malibu Stakes in December, finished third in a strong optional claiming race at six furlongs here May 6 after hopping at the start.
Cost of Freedom, who led all the way to win that race by 4 ½ lengths in 1:08.36, and runner-up Stoneside are also expected back. Cost of Freedom, winner of the Grade I Ancient Title Stakes in 2008, will again be ridden by Tyler Baze in quest of a record fifth Los Angeles victory for Sadler.
Stoneside, winner of the 2008 San Simeon Handicap, will be ridden by Martin Pedroza for Julio Canani.
Other probable starters include Bet On Victor (Rafael Bejarano), Hiya Silver (Joe Talamo), Jiggly (Victor Espinoza), My Summer Slew (Alonso Quinonez) and E Z's Gentleman.
Bet On Victor worked a bullet five furlongs in 58.40 for trainer Vladimir Cerin, while Golden Gate shipper Jiggly drilled the same distance in 59.80 for conditioner Bill Morey, Jr.
FINISH LINES—Trainer John Shirreffs said that unbeaten superstar Zenyatta would probably work Tuesday in her next-to-last drill for the $250,000 Grade I Vanity Handicap, a race she hopes to win an unprecedented third time on June 13. Shirreffs turns 65 on Wednesday…*Anne Sinchak*, assistant to trainer Jonathan Sheppard, said that Gamely runner-up Forever Together came back in top shape and will be flown back to Newark and vanned to Sheppard's farm in West Grove, Pa., on Wednesday…Trainer John Sadler said that Dave In Dixie would be flown to New York on Tuesday for the Belmont Stakes Saturday after working one mile here Thursday. "I know he wants to run that far, and the Belmont is coming up an interesting race," said Sadler of the decision for that spot…Sadler also said he is on the fence over leaving Noble Court in the $250,000 Shoemaker Mile Monday or scratching him to join Cost of Freedom in the $100,000 Los Angeles Handicap Saturday…Trainer Bobby Troeger said that Potrero Grande Handicap runner-up Gato Go Win will run in the True North Handicap on the Belmont undercard Saturday and be ridden by Mike Smith…Trainer Ron Ellis said that Canonize will be forced to miss the Los Angeles Handicap because of a sore back…Trainer Humberto Ascanio, who plans to start Porfido in the Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap Saturday, said that defending champion Midships is in his barn but has been kept out of training by a nagging injury. Ascanio also reported that Citation Handicap winner Fluke is scheduled to return to training in two weeks after missing some time because of soreness…Agent Vince DeGregory said that 19-year-old apprentice jockey Alex Gonzalez would join the colony here June 16 from Northern California. DeGregory said that Gonzalez, a third generation jockey from Hollywood, Fla., was fifth in the standings…Owner Arnold Zetcher said that Zardana would probably make her next start in the Ogden Phipps Handicap at Belmont on June 12…Congratulations to Azeri, Best Pal and Point Given, all elected to the Racing Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., last week. All were major stakes winners at Hollywood Park during illustrious careers.

Sumptuous Pyrope Garnet & Diamond Vintage Ring
Sumptuous presence flashes with noticeable charm in the form of a 14k yellow gold and silver finger ring. Prodigious in size and of a glowing burgundy color, a garnet (pyrope) has been cut en cabochon into an oval gem of about 24 carats. The ring is distinctively designed and dramatically presented with two arches of diamond-set silver enveloping its convex surface. It is set closed backed and foiled beneath for luminous shimmer.
Curvilinear motifs of silver dotting both the surface of the garnet and the shoulders of the mount are encrusted with thirty (30) rose and old mine cut diamonds of an estimated .50 carats. A shank of 14k yellow gold completes the mid-20th century marvel of a ring.
Date: Mid 20th century.
Measurements: 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 5/16 of an inch (0.7 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 9.1 grams (5.9 dwt).
Ring Size: US 7-1/4 (UK O; Int. Dia. 17.5; Euro 55.5 mm; Japan just over 14) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Very good; 3 tiny chips to garnet visible with magnification.
Note: Stones have not been removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. Gemstone weights have been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights.
Important: This ring should not be in water for an extended period nor exposed to any other liquids, cleaning products or harsh chemicals due to the nature of the pearls and foil backed stones. If considering as an engagement ring, please keep this in mind.

'Twas the day after Christmas, at the Miller home,
No one was up, except for my Mom.
The house was a mess and the stockings were bare,
Gary was asleep in the living room chair.
Carlos and Anthony were jumping on their bed,
So high near the ceiling, almost hitting their heads.
Then Ronnie and I, after hearing Mom's call,
Raced to the table, almost causing a brawl.
"I get the gold bowl!" a shout went out,
"I done said!" was the reply heard throughout.
Seven pairs of feet, pounded towards the table,
It sounded like horses, in a livery stable.
With Darlene in her 'jammies, and Jackie in her housecoat,
Both heard a noise, and it sounded like a goat!
Away to the window, the girls flew like a flash,
They saw a strange animal, in the yard eating grass.
"What in the world", we heard Jackie chatter,
All ran to the door, to see what was the matter.
When the creature breathed, he blew out steam,
I pinched myself, to rule out a dream.
The thing in the yard, didn't look really queer,
Yes it was easy to tell, it was Santa's reindeer.
It wasn't Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, or Vixen,
Nor was it Comet, Cupid, Donner, or Blitzen.
His big red nose, gave away his name,
It was Rudolph for sure, he was really quite tame.
When we walk out the door, he pranced right up,
And bowed his head, as if for a rub.
His eyes how they twinkled, his smile was so merry,
And that nose of his was as red as a cherry.
I could tell he was lost, it didn't take a brain,
But where was Santa, and the rest of the gang.
Then in an instant, I heard a noise in the back,
And the sound of hoofs, as something went smack.
Then Rudolph took off, he ran like a flash,
With us close by, to the back we did dash.
When what to our eyes, should suddenly appear?
But a shiny red sleigh, pulled by 8 reindeer.
Inside a jolly plump fellow, I knew right away,
It was Santa Claus, sitting inside the sleigh.
"There's my lead reindeer," Santa said with a laugh,
We forgot you last night, when you chased after that calf.
So Rudolph lined up, back in front of the team,
And Santa yelled out, his familiar scream.
"To the top of the hill, for a really long haul,
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all."
The leaves in the yard, like a hurricane flew,
Up past the sun, and into the blue.
And I heard Santa say, as they flew out of sight.
Rudolph you must tell me, all about last night!
Then Rudolph blushed, and is nose turned bright red,
As Santa laughed loud, heels over head.
Merry Christmas to Everyone

With the latest scare of the flu "bug" on the news every night, on every channel, I was thinking back to the old days and what we did when someone in the family got a cold or the flu.
That was a long time before the doctors were encouraging everyone to take a flu shot. Mind you that the stuff that's in the shot to stop the flu is the virus itself. My Pap Paw would have said something like, "Ain't no way I'm taking that flu shot. It's probably a way for the gov'ment to kill off some of us mountin' folk!"
That's also the way I feel sometimes. I took the flu shot one time and stayed sick the whole year! I swore I wouldn't make that mistake again.
But last year I thought I would give it another try, maybe. I went to Wal-Mart and this lady was set up right near the front door giving flu shots for only $27.95, "A bargain," she said.
Well, I was just about ready to let her stick a needle in my arm when she handed me a paper to sign. I asked her what it was for and she said,"… it was something that by law she had to do. That got me wanting to read it.
Anyway, to make a long story short it said that "….in some instances that the shot (that I was about to get) could cause death. Case closed. No shot!
I would stick to my family's remedies that we used when we were sick at home. Momma always would fix us chicken soup, or in some cases later in life, Chicken Noodle soup. Daddy on the other hand had a family recipe for cough syrup that would take care of the cold (and most any other illnesses).
Here it is, but you have to keep the recipe to yourself. Daddy always said the Vick's (the salve people) would love to get their hands on it.
Daddy's Homemade Cough Syrup 1 pint of moonshine (whiskey) 1 box of horehound candy 1/2 lb dark brown sugar 1 pint of honey (strained, no comb) 4 oz. lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon of ginger
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon A pinch of alum (helps from going to sugar) Put the horehound candy in a large kettle with a ½ cup of water. Heat on low heat, stirring often, until it melts. When melted remove from heat and add all the other ingredients. Store in pint jars (Makes about 4 pints of cough syrup).
As with all other medicines remember, Keep out of reach of children (and teenagers, Uncles, Aunts, Grannies, Pap Paws, or your neighbors…)! Well, I believe you get the picture. Hide it! Because it's goooood!.
And since it's almost Christmas I had to include this Miller Family Fruitcake Recipe. I think you'll find it's a lot of fun to make.
Miller Family Fruitcake Recipe:
1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 4 large eggs, 3 cups dried fruit, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt, 1 cup brown sugar, lemon juice, nuts and 1 pint bottle of moonshine.
Sample the moonshine to check for quality, take out a large bowl, check the moonshine again to be sure that it is of the highest quality, pour 1 level cup and drink. Repeat.
Turn on the electric mixer, beat 1 cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and beat again.
Make sure the moonshine is still OK. Cry another tup. Turn off the mixer. Break two legs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers, pry it them loose with a turescriber.
Sample the moonshine one more time to check for toxicity. Next, sift 2 cups of salt. Or something. Who cares?
Taste the moonshine again real good. Now sift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.
Add one sablespoon of tugar or something sweet, whatever you can find. Grease the oven. Turn the cake pan to 350 degrees. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Then throw the bowl out of the bindow.
One last time, link the drast of the moonshine. Then you're beady for red.
(Who the heck likes fruitcake anyway?)
Merry New Year and Happy Christmas everyone!

It was one of the worst winters I could remember in my young life. "A winter like one from the old days", Daddy said. We could only get out of the house just to bring in wood and coal to keep the house warm.
Can you imagine? Momma was cooped up with seven kids in a small house for several days. We only had one TV and we only got one channel, NBC Channel 6 out of Knoxville. According to Momma, we were just about to drive her crazy.
What did she do, you might ask? She taught us to knit and crochet. That's right two girls and 5 boys gathered in the living room floor closely around Momma, the teacher.
I'm sure most of your families were just like mine back then. Not enough money to buy new clothes from a store and many times any way to get there. Momma was an excellent seamstress and she knew how to knit, crochet and macramé.
I never will forget the old Singer sewing machine she had. It was made of quarter-sawn oak with a cast iron frame. A wide peddle under the cabinet would turn a large wheel connected to a smaller wheel with a leather belt that turned the sewing machine.
There were six small drawers, three on each side of the cabinet to keep sewing accessories in. Momma only used one so each of the boys in our family had a drawer of their own to keep valuables in. No one was allowed to get in anyone else's drawer. That was the law of the house. If we were caught in someone else's drawer it would be dealt with severely by Daddy.
All of us learned to hand stitch first. We had seen a few times how dangerous the sewing machine could be when Momma would accidentally send a needle completely through her finger. Then we moved up to the big oak cabinet. I have to say all of us were taught to stitch up tears, hem pants and sew on buttons. Momma knew that may come in handy someday.
But during that cold spell that hit southeastern Kentucky that year Momma taught us something else. She taught us how to knit and crochet. I can still see her with her two blue knitting needles and a ball of yarn working the patterns every so slowly so each of us could catch on to the technique.
We started out with simple stitch patterns. And I still remember them even today. The knit stitch is the basis for all other knitting. Once you know how to cast on and knit, you can make the most basic projects like washcloths, scarves, even a basic afghan.
Next we learned the purl stitch. To form a purl stitch yarn is held in right hand, then, by necessity, brought to the front of the work if following a knit stitch, and, wrapped around the right needle before pulling the stitch through.
Then she taught us the knit one and purl 2 stitch that would result in a stretchy ribbed pattern, similar (but not exactly the same) to what you find on sweaters, a scarf, in a knitted hat or in cuffs.
To do this you start with a knit stitch, then you purl the next stitch. then purl the next one after that. After that, you just keep repeating.
Of all the knit/purl stitch patterns we learned, ribbing was definitely the one we used the most. Because of its stretchiness and ability to "bounce" back into place, ribbing was used on the necks and cuffs of most sweaters. We sometimes used the ribbing technique throughout the garment because it created a slim, body-hugging effect. This could be done in either the knit 1, purl 1 method or in the knit 2, purl 2 if we wanted wider ribs that would stretch even more.
Momma gave the garments away mostly at Christmas or for birthdays. With what was left over she sold for money to buy more yarn.
Later on we learned to crochet and my favorite macramé. I remember we went through a spell when we must have made 20 or 25 purses out of simple square knots that Momma would sell to neighbors and friends for a few dollars.
Momma was a true folk art artist too. She painted portraits and landscapes. She made cabbage patch type dolls long before they were popular. She made dolls out of cornhusks and apples. I remember a couple of the apple characters in particular. They were of an old man and woman with wrinkled faces that she put teeth in made out of a plastic fork. After the apples dried they looked exactly like two old people with wrinkled faces.
The lessons Momma taught were never boring they kept us entertained throughout the rest of the bad winter that year.
All of us were quick learners. If I had to say who was the best at what we were taught, I guess it would be Ronnie at knitting, Anthony at crocheting, Gary with the macramé, me with sewing and Carlos with keeping the bobbin always tangled up by peddling the sewing machine..
Who would have ever thought anything would hold the attention of 5 boys? Momma, that's who.

I rubbed my eyes again and strained as I tried to get a better look out of our window. The glass fogged-up from my breath as my heart raced faster and faster with each glimpse of Santa Claus. I yelled at my brothers, "Santa Claus is outside, come look!" Everyone dropped what they were doing and raced to the window pushing the other ones aside to get a look at Santa.
There was a snow on the ground that Christmas Eve and his red suit really stood out against the fresh white blanket as he made his way towards our house. He had a black bag on his back that looked so full he could barely carry it. As he got closer to our house, Mom, who had been watching us said, "You had better run and get in bed because Santa wants all little kids to be in bed asleep or he might pass them by." We looked at each other and then a stampede of kids, racing for the bedroom, began.
I jumped in bed with Ronnie, as Carlos and Anthony filled the other bed beside us. The cover went quickly over us, up to our necks and everyone got really quite as we listened for Santa to make his way down the chimney. Gary just shook his head and told us "All of you are crazy, Santa Claus ain't real."
"Don't say that Gary! Santa's real, we just saw him. And if you don't believe, you won't get any presents for Christmas." I warned. Gary just laughed and walked away.
"You have to believe," Ronnie echoed "or Santa will just pass on by. Gary has maybe just gotten too old." He explained.
"Last Christmas, when he did believe, he asked for something he didn't get and he then made his mind up that there must not be a Santa Claus just because he didn't get what he asked for." Ronnie went on.
"What did he ask for?" I asked.
"I really don't know, he never told me, but whatever it was Santa didn't bring it." Ronnie answered, "He even cried."
"Maybe he didn't get Gary's letter." Anthony said. "You think Santa might have forgotten it at the North Pole?" Carlos asked.
"I don't think so. But maybe, Gary was bad last year. You know, you have to be good or he won't bring you anything. If your are mean or bad, he only brings you a block of coal, Momma said." Ronnie explained in a low voice, not wanting Gary to over hear.
"We had better get to sleep or he won't bring us anything!" Carlos whispered. "He knows if you're asleep, too."
My eyes grew heavy, as I tried hard to listened for Santa making his delivery of our presents. It seemed I had barely closed them as I felt Ronnie softly shaking me to wake me up. It was still dark outside as I rubbed my eyes almost forgetting what day it was. "Get up! Get up!" Ronnie said, "It's Christmas!" Those were the magic words.
Anthony and Carlos raised their heads from their pillows with big smiles as we all started putting on our clothes and shoes. Mom and Dad weren't up yet as we quietly made our way to the living room to the tall, green decorated Christmas tree with presents sitting all around it. Santa had made his stop and we didn't even know it.
Ronnie and I started searching the gifts for the names on all the presents, handing them out as we called off everyone's name. Jackie carried Darlene, who was too young to walk, into the room followed closely behind by Mom and Dad.
"Where's Gary?" Mom asked, looking all around the room.
"Gary doesn't believe, Momma. He told us there wasn't a Santa Claus because he had asked for something last year and Santa didn't bring it." I again explained.
"Gary, come on in here." Momma yelled. After a few minutes, Gary slowly made his way to the living room, thinking he would be scolded for telling us Santa Claus wasn't real. But instead, Momma told him to go a look under the tree. "I think Santa has brought you a present. He told me last year you just weren't ready for that gun you asked him for but now, he felt like you were old enough."
Well, from that day on for many years Santa always visited our little home on Paw Paw. He usually brought us what we wanted. But sometimes, if we didn't get what we wanted, we never said we don't believe, we just said, "Santa knows what's best."
So, if anyone reading this story ever asked Santa for a gift that they didn't get, remember, Santa does the best he can at making sure everyone wakes up on Christmas morning with everything they want. But sometimes, you may ask for things you don't really need and like my Momma always said, "Santa knows what's best."
And I'm telling you now, long ago on that cold and snowy Christmas Eve, looking out through that frost-covered window, I did see Santa, I really did.

Growing up on Paw Paw, few things ever changed. Dad would always say, "We don't have time or money to go to the ballgames!" and if I heard it once, I've heard it a hundred times, "Money don't grow on trees, you know!"
I didn't want to be a smarty-pants, but I never did think money grew on trees. And if it did, I would have a money-tree orchard. I knew how hard my dad worked for the money to raise our family.
But, there was a night when I really wanted to go to a basketball game at Clay County High. Clay County Tigers were playing the Knox Central Panthers in a regional game. I begged and pleaded to Dad but still he refused to take me to the game. I then turned to Mom.
"Please Momma, will you take me to the ballgame? I've got my own money. It want cost Dad a dime." I begged. "I've never been, and lots of my school friends go almost every game. Please Momma, let me go to the game."
Mom was always a little easier to persuade than Dad. "Is it okay if I take Rodney to the ball game Dad? He's got his own money and I don't mind if you don't object." My pleading eyes turned toward Dad waiting on his answer.
"Oh, alright. But remember don't come asking me for money when you run out. Money don't grow on trees, you know." Dad repeated.
"Thanks Dad! Momma, the game starts at 7:00 o'clock. I'll be ready to go in 10 minutes!" I told her. I hurried to the bedroom and put on a clean shirt, slicked down my hair with Wildroot, and rushed to the front door hollering, " I'm ready to go now, Momma! Come on, hurry!"
I was so excited! I couldn't wait to get to the gym. In the car Momma told me she would listen to the radio broadcasting the game and would leave home in time to pick me up after the game. "Now be careful and wait for me in the same place here where I'm dropping you off! Don't hang with the wrong crowd and be sure to mind you're manners." She said as she kissed my forehead and told me goodbye, slipping .50 cents into my hand.
"Thanks, Momma. But I've got enough money to get in already." I told her knowing what her answer would be.
"You might want to buy something to eat or you might meet a pretty girl and want to buy her a pop." Mom said smiling.
"I just might do that Momma, thanks a lot!" I said getting out of the car. I had never been to the high school much less a ballgame and I followed the crowd of people to the ticket stand. "One ticket, please." I told the man behind the glass window.
"That'll be 25 cents, son." He told me as he passed the ticket under the glass.
I took the ticket and made my way through the heavy steel grey doors to the gym. The floor looked liked polished glass. I never knew wood could be so beautiful. I walked slowly on into the gym and saw one side had lots of people and the other had almost as many. I didn't know where I was supposed to sit and didn't want to ask anyone, so I found my way to the upper deck, opposite of the stage in the old gym. This way I could be on either side, I thought.
The teams came out on the floor to a loud, rowdy crowd. People were standing and clapping as the cheerleaders took the center floor for a "Go-o-o-o Tigers!!!" yell. The side with not as many people were from Knox Central, they "booed" loudly.
The players were introduced and met at center floor for handshakes and the jump ball. The referee blew his whistle, pitched up the ball, and the game was underway. They played toe to toe for 8 minutes and the horn sounded with an even score. Neither could get the upper hand.
I hurried to the concession stand eager to spend the whole 50 cents Mom had given me. "I'll have a Coke and a bag of popcorn." I said to the lady working. She gave me my drink and popcorn and you know what, I still had money left over. I told her, "I think I'll also have a Baby Ruth candy bar." as I pushed a dime across to her. Man, I was feeling like Richie Rich, as I made my way back to my seat, checking out the pretty cheerleaders as I walked by. It doesn't get any better than this, I thought.
When I sat down the game was already started. They sure didn't rest long, I said to myself. The game again was really close as the clock ticked down to the final seconds with Clay County ahead by 3 points. The horn sounded and the crowd went crazy as the teams left the floor. "Go, Big Clay" the cheerleaders lead the fans in unison.
A lot of people got up and started walking out of the gym and I, followed suit. I hoped my Mom hadn't had to wait too long for me. Walking out of the door of the gym, I noticed a lot of people standing around outside smoking. I guess they couldn't wait until they got in their car, you know how smokers are. I ran to the spot where Momma had dropped me off, but Mom wasn't there.
No problem, I would just sit down on the rock fence and wait until she arrived. I took my Baby Ruth out of my pocket and tore off the wrapper. That was the best candy bar I had ever tasted as I savored ever bite.
After waiting for about 10 minutes, I noticed all the smokers were heading back into the gym. I guess there must be another game, I thought to myself, as I heard the horn inside the gym sound again. I didn't have enough money left to get in again because I had blown it all at the concession. The second game must have been a doosie. The crowd got even louder than in the game before.
I must have waited for another 30 minutes before Mom pulled in to pick me up. She asked "What are you doing sitting out here? The games not over and it's in overtime!"
I found out later from one of my friends when he asked, "Where did you go at half time? You missed the best game of the year!" that the game wasn't really over. It was half time.
When the second horn had sounded, I figured with all the people going outside, that the game was over. I had never been to a basketball game before and never knew anything about half time. I was mad at myself for being so stupid.
So quickly, I thought of something to save face, "I was outside smoking with a cheerleader, the game got boring!" I told him.
"Man, you're so cool!" my friend said, "I wish I could 'a been with you instead of watching a stupid basketball game."
With that one comment, I had made a friend for life.

text: With Alex Aeschbach, BMC supports a master of his trade: The multiple six-day champion, Swiss champion and World Cup champion looks back on a long and successful career on the oval. Aeschbach has proven himself to be a criteria specialist on the road. While Kurt Betschart and Bruno Risi, his companions of many years, have already hung up their track bikes, the athlete from Aargau is looking forward to further challenges in the spirited temples to cycling. This also results in interesting development opportunities for BMC. Aeschbach therefore rode a timemachine TT01 modified personally for him at the track World Championship in Copenhagen on which he plans to achieve additional successes in the coming six-day season.

First off, I want to thank ehunter for working things out with a friend of mine and making a deal for the sweet alien X he just received. We got the bow set up and tuned this weekend, as well as took a few shots at 20 yards. The bow shoots great, and my friend is extremely happy with his purchase!
