Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert will primarily be focused on the $5-million Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill Downs on Saturday, when he seeks his first victory in that race with CashCall Futurity and Preakness winner Lookin at Lucky.
But his stable will also be busy at Hollywood Park the same day with Prayer for Relief in the $100,000 Real Quiet Stakes for 2-year-olds.
Live racing begins with an 11:15 a.m. first post. The Real Quiet is the ninth of 10 live races. The second day of Breeders' Cup simulcasts will begin at 10:50 a.m. with the first of eight races.
Although Lookin at Lucky has won nine of 12 starts, he has not been very lucky in post position draws for big races, pulling 13 in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile last year, the rail in the Kentucky Derby in May and outside post (12) in the Classic.
Although the Real Quiet is named after the Hall of Fame champion that Baffert trained, the white-haired trainer hasn't had much luck there in the race. Bob and John finished first in the 2005 inaugural but was disqualified and placed third for interference.
Baffert still seeks his first victory in the Real Quiet and may pray that Prayer for Relief ends the drought. The Jump Start colt has won once in three starts and leaves from post two in a field of 10 under Alonso Quinonez.
Two rival trainers in the Real Quiet will also have Breeders' Cup entrants Saturday. Jerry Hollendorfer, who has Dakota Phone in the Dirt Mile, will send out Jakesam, an impressive 6 ¼-length winner at the Real Quiet distance of 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track in his last start.
Trainer Doug O'Neill, who has Quick Enough in the Turf Sprint, will be represented by a duo of Dime and Divine Child in the Real Quiet.
Real Quiet, who died in a paddock fall at a breeding farm in Pennsylvania this autumn, was inducted into the Racing Hall of Fame at Saratoga Springs in August. He sandwiched victories in the Hollywood Futurity in 1997 and Hollywood Gold Cup in 1999 around a 3-year-old championship campaign that included wins in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes in 1998.
Friday racing begins with a 12:15 first post for an eight-race card of live racing. The first of six Breeders' Cup simulcasts begins at 1:10.
Of the 168 horses entered in 14 Breeders' Cup races at Churchill Downs Friday and Saturday, about one-fifth—33—were stabled at Hollywood Park. The $26-million extravaganza will be simulcast here. The first of six Breeders' Cup races Friday will begin at 1:10 p.m. Pacific time. The first of eight Breeders' Cup races Saturday will begin at 10:50 a.m. Pacific time.
The $5-million Classic Saturday will be headed by Hollywood's finest, unbeaten superstar mare Zenyatta seeking her 20th straight victory as the 8-5 morning-line favorite. Another Hollywood shipper, 2-year-old champion Lookin at Lucky, is the fourth choice at 6-1.
Other Hollywood Park-based horses entered in Saturday races are Champ Pegasus in the $3-million Turf, Smiling Tiger, Kinsale King and Supreme Summit in the $2-million Sprint, Jaycito, J P's Gusto and Riveting Reason in the $2-million Juvenile, The Usual Q.T. and Sidney's Candy in the $2-million Mile, Dakota Phone, Crown of Thorns and Hurricane Ike in the $1-million Dirt Mile, and Unzip Me, Waveline, California Flag, Quick Enough and Tropic Storm in the $1-million Turf Sprint.
On Friday, Hollywood Park will be represented by Blind Luck in the $2-million Ladies Classic, Izshelegal, A Z Warrior and Tell a Kelly in the $2-million Juvenile Fillies, Éclair de Lune, Harmonious and Hibaayeb in the $2-million Filly & Mare Turf, Evening Jewel, Gabby's Golden Gal, Sweet August Moon and Switch in the $1-million Filly & Mare Sprint, and Awesome Gem and Romp in the $500,000 Marathon.
Six of the entrants are California-bred: defending champion California Flag and The Usual Q.T., Evening Jewel, Unzip Me, Quick Enough and Waveline.
Seven members of the local jockey colony will ride in the Breeders' Cup : Hall of Famer Mike Smith, Rafael Bejarano, Joel Rosario, Victor Espinoza, Martin Garcia, David Flores and Patrick Valenzuela.
Jockeys Rafael Bejarano and Joel Rosario, who have dominated the Southern California circuit for the past three years, are ready for another battle during the Hollywood Park Autumn meet that opens tonight (Thursday) and runs through December 19.
Since the Santa Anita winter-spring meet of 2008, Bejarano has won nine of the championships on the major circuit while Rosario has won the other five, including last year's Autumn meet with 37 wins. Bejarano comes off a 35-34 photo-finish victory over Rosario in the first Oak Tree /Hollywood Park meet that concluded Sunday.
John Sadler will defend honors in the trainer ranks. He led with 15 wins in 2009.
Ken Poslosky, a thoroughbred owner best known for being in the partnership that campaigned Silic, died Oct. 29, according to his widow, Lucille.
Silic, a French-bred, won the 1999 Breeders' Cup Mile at Gulfstream Park for the partnership of Poslosky, Terry Lanni and Bernie Schiappa.
Trained by Julio Canani and ridden by Corey Nakatani, Silic also won the Shoemaker Mile at Hollywood Park in 1999 and 2000.
Poslosky, born in St. Louis on February 9, 1926, spent most of his life in the banking business. In addition to Lucille, his wife of 31 years, Poslosky is also survived by two children from a previous marriage.
A private cremation is planned.
FINISH LINES—Paddy Gallagher, trainer of California Cup Classic winner Soul Candy Saturday, said he may return in the $100,000 Grade III Native Diver Handicap at the same distance December 4 or go back to turf…*Mike Puype*, trainer of Mile winner Bruce's Dream, said he could return in the $250,000 Grade II Citation Handicap November 27…Trainer Art Sherman said that the $75,000-added Cat's Cradle Handicap December 12 may be on the calendar for the Matron winner…Trainer Eric Kruljac has designs on the $250,000 Grade I La Brea Stakes at Santa Anita for Distaff winner La Nez…Co-owner Gary Barber said that Sprint winner Cost of Freedom will probably return in the $100,000 Grade III Vernon Underwood Stakes November 25 and could be headed to the Golden Shaheen Stakes in Dubai in March…Trainer David Hofmans seeks a record third victory in the $100,000 Sharp Cat Stakes for 2-year-old fillies Sunday with Teddy's Promise. Hofmans won the 1 1/16-mile race with Balance in 2005 and Runway Rosie in 2006… Buenos Dias worked seven furlongs on turf Thursday in 1:28.80 for the $250,000 Grade I Hollywood Turf Cup November 13 for Hall of Fame trainer Ron McAnally*…Defending champion Fluke worked five furlongs on Cushion Track in 1:01.80 for the $250,000 Grade I Citation Handicap November 27 for trainer *Humberto Ascanio*… Santa Anita Derby runner-up Setsuko, sidelined since May, worked three furlongs this week on the comeback trail for Hall of Fame trainer *Richard Mandella. Mandella turns 60 Friday.

Product : It might be an excellent to be honest rather than a 'good' - I haven't used it sufficiently yet - but it seems v sturdy, comfortable to wear, capacious...I personally love the owl design with the red trim & the side bottle holders are really deep & hold bottles much more upright than the change bag this is replacing. The change mat is nicely padded too. Would recommend this.

When you want to learn an art form, you start at the beginning. Our Bonsai Starter Kit will set you up with all the basic tools and information you'll need to get started, from pruning shears and a roll of aluminum shaping wire to an easy step-by-step book written by a world-class bonsai expert. This instructional book includes helpful answers to many typical bonsai questions. Begin your personal exploration of this time-honored craft with our 3-in-1 Starter Kit; you're sure to reap great rewards for your time and energy.
Tips on WateringCareful watering is key to maintaining healthy bonsai. Never allow your bonsai to completely dry out. Watering instructions may vary slightly depending on the tree or plant species. Please refer to the information tag attached to your bonsai for specific information. Over time you will be able to evaluate each particular bonsai's water requirements and create your own watering schedule to accommodate it. Note whether your bonsai is considered an indoor or outdoor tree and refer below to more specific watering tips for each type.Best results are achieved by watering with a small watering can or hose attachment with a fine-spray nozzle so that water cascades are softer, avoiding blasts to bonsai and potting soil. To water, thoroughly soak the container's soil until water runs out of the bottom drainage holes. Periodic misting of the tree's foliage is also recommended.
Trimming and PinchingBonsai trees benefit from trimming to maintain their miniature size and beautiful form. Pinch and trim new growth back to the farthest safe point, being careful not to remove all new growth. For more in-depth tips about trimming (and training) techniques, an instructional book will provide the best, safest recommendations to keep your bonsai in tip-top shape.

Oh my gosh, I know the feeling. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who uses every inch of space they have!
Thanks for the list! I can't wait to browse through these for inspiration.
Hanging things above the stove seems like a bad idea. Everything must get so greasy!
Absolutely! I have hooks all over my kitchen for pots, pans, and anything else that can hang!
I wouldn't say this qualifies as "15 ways" when the majority of examples involve a pot rack or peg board.
I put up peg board about 6 months ago because I have a very tiny kitchen and there was no alternative. Now I can't imagine going back to having my pots and pans in a cupboard or drawer. They're all so accessible when they're hanging up!
I can't stand visual clutter and prefer the pots/pans away in a cupboard, even if I have to sacrifice space for other things, even though I do have a tiny kitchen as well. Clear counters and walls are so nice!
I love my exhaust fan above my stove - not hanging pots and pans!
These ideas are great - the cupboard I use for pots and pans is OVERFLOWING and I hate how it makes a mess every time I open the cupboard haha! And I love the way hanging pans look. Think I might try it one day :)
Agree with KayN. There are 4. Pot rack; Peg Board; Drawer; Shelf
yikes... the first kitchen looks too cluttered. I know it's to save space and use a given area (space) wisely but it looks really messy and I would assume grease would get on the pots! I guess there's no other way.
I don't find this post inspiring. Some photos are scary. In the first, worse than the clutter is that the paper towels, plastic wrap and desk lamp are too close to the stove. Another photo has a cat sitting on the counter. A sleek kitchen with gray/blue drawers has a cutting board propped against the back of the stove. Another photo shows spices on a narrow shelf above the stove, a good place to ruin them.
Some of these are very nice to look at! But, I enjoy keeping my pots and pans tucked away out of site.
We have our pots on the shelves of a rolling cart. It works and is not as messy looking as some of these examples, but I kind of hate it. I would prefer them in pull-out drawers. Sigh.
Who the heck uses THAT MANY pots & pans for cooking especially in a kitchen so small that everything needs to be hung above the stove or piled on a rolling rack next to the stove??? (first foto) I come from a large Latina familia where cooking big meals for big families is almost a religion....and WE don't have half that many pots & pans!!! This foto shows not only a disaster waiting to happen, but a kitchen in serious need of a purge. I haven't even gotten to the other fotos yet!!!
Just saw the one with the cat on the counter top. NO CATS ON THE COUNTER!!!!
but surely opening a drawer or a cupboard is not that difficult, isn't it? I just find the hanging pots and pans look very messy and unhygienic. and why so many???
We have a teeny tiny kitchen but a small pantry. 12" deep, 7 ft. tall and 24" wide. I had my husband put a TON of shelves in and each pot gets its own shelf - with its lid on it. It is truly amazing - We're planning another kitchen right now and planning the same system.
Check it out!
I have never been a fan of displaying pots and pans on the wall. Just the rusted look and clutter drives me insane. The only one I like out of the examples is # 8, it looks clean, organized and like everything is in it's place.
For me my pots and pans are hidden away, I don't have much room so I limit myself to just a few essential pots and pants. 2 pots, 3 pans is all I can fit, thankful I don't ever cook more than 3 items at a time so this works for me.
Hang a heavy chain in a corner to the floor get some pot hooks and hang pots on the chain, very useful.

Flexfit Continues Its Support of Habilitat...
With its 30 month-long program focusing on the "Therapeutic Community" method of drug and alcohol rehabilitation treatment, Habilitat has been a safe haven for recovering addicts since 1971. Habilitat follows a regimented treatment and recovery program consisting of active treatment, re-entry into everyday life which includes career and skills training, and a post-entry phase where patients are slowly and carefully re-introduced to everyday life.
Some residents choose to continue their stay at Habilitat in an optional "elder" phase where residents can take their time to re-establish themselves both emotionally and financially. Finally, the "staff trainee" phase is for those in recovery who wish to give back what they have gained by working at Habilitat.
According to one former resident, "Habilitat is more than a treatment program. It is a life changing experience." Another proclaims, "More than anything, Habilitat showed me I was worth something."
A mainstay at Habilitat is their annual Christmas Project and holiday celebration which plays an integral role in fundraising and building resident moral.
Habilitat's Christmas Project begins each year with their annual Christmas tree sale with all proceeds from sales going back into Habilitat's programs. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day family members of residents are welcomed onto Habilitiat's grounds to visit with their loved ones, and to celebrate a traditional Christmas with lots of food, laughter and singing. During the festivities, Christmas boxes are distributed to each resident. "During the holiday season we call upon companies like Flexfit to help us fulfill the needs of our residents… the items in each gift box will help get residents through the following year," explains recovered Habilitat resident and Acquisitions Representative, Randy Wirtenson. Christmas boxes for residents typically include: clothing, shoes, hats, toiletries, and other assorted essentials.
Flexfit is proud to donate their hats each year for Habilitat's resident Christmas gift boxes. Other sponsors this year include: Walmart, CVS, Starbucks, McDonald's, 3M, Home Depot, Nestle, Safeway, Harley Davidson, Subway and Volcom among others.
To learn more about Habilitat's unique rehabilitation program, located in Kaneohe, HI, please visit www.habilitat.com.

Today's students rely on technology for both their academic and social lives, and though some see it as a barrier to concentration in the classroom, others, like Mark Frydenberg are embracing it as a key teaching strategy. It was this core strategy and belief that propelled Mark to rethink the former CIS (Computer Information Systems) Tutoring Lab, and transform it into the CIS Learning and Technology Sandbox, a state-of-the-art learning space that opened this fall in the Smith Academic Technology Center, room 234, adjacent to the Trading Room.

In honor of Presidents Day, Georgia Museums Inc. on Friday will offer programs at Bartow History Museum and Booth Western Art Museum for homeschool students and their parents. Geared for students in grades two through 12, the activities will focus on George Washington from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"We're going to have two rotating 20-minute presentations," said Charity Chastain, manager of programs for the Bartow History Museum, 4 E. Church St. in Cartersville. "They'll start on the half hour, so 10:30, 11:30, 12:30 all the way to 2:30.
"It rotates between 'Washington's childhood: Life as a colonist' and then the 'One-room schoolhouse: Self-motivated, self-taught.' Because of his upbringing, he wasn't really formally schooled and there's not a whole lot known about his childhood. So we're going to compare what we do know about him to a typical colonial child's schooling."
Along with crafts, the participants also will play games and learn interesting facts about the nation's first president.
"One of the things we always focus on with the presidential Home School Days are their pets, because most kids love animals," Chastain said. "So we're going to focus on the fact that he bred the first American foxhound as far as we know. Then he also had the first male donkey in the U.S. and apparently that line still exists. So we're going to talk a little bit about those and they get to do a craft. They're going to make a little donkey puppet to kind of incorporate that.
"... We're also going to play George Washington bingo, which is hysterical and that's where we really incorporate a lot of [the] fun facts — the type of pets he had, the fact that he wore a wig, the fact that he was a surveyor at a very young age. ... We want them to have a lot of fun and not realize that they learned a whole bunch while they were here and just get an appreciation for the fact that history can be a lot of fun. It's not boring."
At the Booth Western Art Museum, the day's activities also will feature presentations, crafts and games, with a spotlight on the venue's Carolyn & James Millar Presidential Gallery.
"George Washington will be here in person for the students to interact with and they can ask him questions and he can tell them something about his history as president," said Lisa Wheeler, director of education for the Booth, 501 Museum Drive in Cartersville. "And in our theater, our wonderful historian and storyteller Jim Dunham will be presenting two stories about George.
"One of them is 'Parson Weems Fable' and the other one is 'George Washington and the General's Dog' and students after hearing the stories — they'll get to decide which story is true and which story is false. There'll be an art activity where they can create a George Washington portrait [and] we have a couple of games."
The participants also will be able to tour the museum's Presidential Gallery, which features a portrait, interesting facts and letter for each U.S. president.
"In our Presidential Gallery, they'll learn what a primary document is in terms of an actual letter from a president," Wheeler said. "In our Presidential Gallery, it's very unusual in that we have an original signed letter by every president of the United States from George Washington through Barack Obama. Before typewriters, all those letters were also handwritten and after typewriters and computers, they still have the original signatures.
"The letters are very random in terms of the subject matter, like there's one talking about a president that's concerned about the stock market or Abe Lincoln having to make a decision about executing some Native Americans. The topics are just all over the place. [You get a sense of the] time period and their individual personalities and I like to see the handwriting variety."
The cost to attend these offerings will be $5 for students and $3 for adults. For more information, visit www.bartowhistorymuseum.org or www.boothmuseum.org. To sign up, contact Marcia Dillard at 770-387-3849 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pie Bakeoff 2008 Special Mention: Best Story
Best Pie Bakeoff 2008
Voting for the best Original and Classic pies in our Best Pie Bakeoff 2008 has finished, but we wanted to also weigh in editorially with three Special Mention awards.
Read on to see why we awarded this Special Mention to Edith and Leonard and their classic, heartwarming pie!
When we first announced this Bakeoff, we invited you to convince us any way you could of the quality of your pie. You could tell a story, sing a song, or share a video. Many of you shared rave reviews from your coworkers and photos of happy pie-eaters.
But this story won our collective heart. Leonard and his mother Edith have been baking this pie for years and years. His story of how his family has taken up baking her pie was heartwarming and just the sort of narrative that belongs to pie.
Congratulations Edith - your prizes will be on their way next week!
1 Comment
Yey! Their story made me want to make this pie, too. It was simple and sweet, and that's exactly what's been appealing to me these days, not necessarily food-wise, but as far as matters of the heart go.

The girl was walking on the 200 block of East Ninth Street around 4 p.m. when the man, who was walking the other direction, began to follow her and tried to "touch" her, the log states.
The girl's father saw the man and confronted him, saying that he needed to leave his daughter and all children alone. The man reportedly acknowledged the father's words and walked away.
The man was described as being Latino and in his 30s wearing a black jacket, gray shirt and blue jeans.
The father wanted to report the incident to police, though the log indicates no report was taken.
Tracy police received 447 calls for service Friday, Jan. 11 to Sunday, Jan. 13. The following is a sample of those reports.
2:36 a.m.: Police arrested a 24-year-old man on the 1800 block of Parker Avenue for allegedly driving under the influence. The man was reportedly confronted by a resident on Parker Avenue after he and an accomplice parked outside of a house. When the men started walking toward the residence, the homeowner yelled for them to leave. One of the men was allegedly holding some kind of bottle. Officers were able to locate the vehicle and make an arrest for DUI.
1:12 p.m.: A resident on the 4600 block of Windsong Court reported that his neighbor was throwing dog feces over their fence and into his yard. The neighbor denied the claim.
7:20 p.m.: Police responded to the 600 block of Tulare Court where a resident accused his neighbor of setting a fire in his backyard. The victim believed that the neighbor threw a lit cigarette over the fence, catching a cooler and table on fire. The neighbor denied the charges.
2:53 a.m.: About 15 people were seen fighting on the 1500 block of Holly Drive. When officers arrived, they stopped several people and arrested a minor who was wanted on a warrant from the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office. The minor was taken to San Joaquin County Juvenile Hall.
12:07 p.m.: Officers arrested a 27-year-old man on the 300 block of Holly Drive for an outstanding warrant. Officers discovered the warrant after they responded to a residence where the man was allegedly involved in an argument with a woman.
1:41 p.m.: Police stopped a man at gunpoint when the man was seen walking in the area of Lowell Avenue and Tracy Boulevard with a gun slung over his shoulder. The gun turned out to be a pellet gun.
10:51 p.m.: A resident on the 2800 block of Hidden Valley Court armed himself with a handgun when a suspected burglar reportedly tried to open his front door. The resident went outside to confront the man, who then ran to a beige four-door vehicle.
7 a.m.: A resident on the 2100 Lighthouse Circle reportedly found two male teenagers inside his daughter's closet when he went to wake her up for school. The daughter allegedly snuck the two boys inside her room sometime during the night. They refused to give their names to the father, who then called police. Police cleared the scene after neither teen was found to have a criminal history.
11:14 a.m.: A 1997 BMW Z3 roadster was reported stolen from the driveway of a residence on the 1200 block of Cornucopia Place. Neighbors found broken glass in the driveway and told police that the car had been missing for at least two days. The owners were reportedly out of town for about a week.
5:23 p.m.: Police arrested a 61-year-old man who was allegedly driving under the influence when he ran over a stop sign and then drove onto a traffic median in the area of Chrisman and Valpico roads. The man was seen picking up his license plate on the road and had a flat tire after the crash. Officers had his green Mercury Sable towed from the scene. The man was taken to San Joaquin County Jail in French Camp.

BMC Racing Team's Tejay van Garderen rode to a third-place finish on Saturday's summit finish at Mt. Diablo to keep the race lead with one day to go at the Amgen Tour of California.
Teammates 'Made Life Easy'
The BMC Racing Team controlled the pace on the 16-kilometer climb at the end of the 147.1 km race, pulling back an early breakaway and several counter-attacks. Only Leopold König (Tea NetApp-Endura), who soloed to win by seven seconds, and runner-up Janier Acevedo (Jamis-Hagens Berman) were able to distance themselves from van Garderen, who crossed the line 12 seconds after König. "I think it was a tough day for the team, but they made life easy for me," van Garderen said after pulling on the race leader's yellow jersey for the third straight day. "The guys controlled things from the beginning of the race, right up until the end. I only had to hit the wind in the last couple hundred meters. So they made my life so stress free. It was an incredible day." Mathias Frank finished fifth on the stage – to remain fourth overall – and Amaël Moinard was 14th to keep the BMC Racing Team at the top of the team classification. Sunday's 129.9 km stage finishes in Santa Rosa, headquarters of the BMC Racing Team. "Tomorrow will be all about staying out of trouble," van Garderen said. "It's an incredible feeling and I'm glad I will be able to make the team proud in Santa Rosa."
Listen to complete comments from van Garderen at the race press conference on the BMC Racing Team Audio Line.

Venice, ItalyLocation: Europe
Delve into history in Venice, Italy, an enchanting floating city and symbol of romance.
Built on a string of more than 100 islands, Venice is interconnected by hundreds of canals and bridges. Cars are banned, but you'll find all sorts of water transportation to get around, like the vaporetti and the iconic gondolas. It's a city of wonder as stone structures on wooden pilings sunk in clay are literally what have kept its impressive Venetian-Gothic architecture afloat these past 1,500 years.
As the "romance capital" of Italy, Venice has played a leading role in both literature and Hollywood. The city is also a major art center known for its Venetian glass industry and the brilliant colors of Murano glass.
From its rise and fall as a maritime powerhouse to its incarnation as a world-class art house to the ever popular tourist destination of today, Venice delights all visitors who step ashore.

Victorian Rose Gold Buckle Ring
Quite popular, the buckle motif had manifestations in several types of jewelry pieces. However, the ring form seemed to take precedence over all others. This particular example has been rendered in 12k pale rose gold. With a sense of perfection, the ring displays the keeper, hasp and buckle in true three-dimensionality. Hand-engraved scroll and leaf designs blanket the shank entire shank. It is rather interesting to note that the years from 1854 to 1931 were the only ones during which Britain produced 12k gold. After that date both 12k and 15k gold were replaced with the 14k standard.
Measurements: 1/2 of an inch (1.3 cm) at the widest and 3/8 of an inch for (0.9 cm) in width for band. Weight of 6.3 grams (4.1 dwt).
Ring Size: US 8-1/2 (UK Q-1/2; Int. Dia. 18.5; Euro 58 mm; Japan 17) and can be sized down with some loss to continuity of engraving or by an insert. We do not recommend sizing up. Please contact us for additional information.
Hallmarks: English hallmarks for London, England, year 1885 and 12k mark along with a maker's mark of "WW".
Condition: Excellent.
Date & Origin: Circa 1884 and is English in origin.

About 45 San Lorenzo Valley Middle School students worked through their final rehearsals this week in preparation for the Thursday, Dec. 6, opening performance of "Honk!"
The show is a musical comedy version of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling," and will feature sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students singing and dancing.
Will Guilford, longtime drama teacher at the middle school, said the show's message about accepting others who are different is particularly relevant for preteens and teenagers.
"We're all different — we hope to learn and grow," he said. "That's the cool thing about it. It's not your typical middle-school show."
The double-casted show features Travis Gorham and Aaron McKay as the protagonist, Ugly. Maddy McMillan and Aidan O'Connell portray Ida, his mother, and the villain, The Cat, is brought to life by Sabrina Chinello, Maddy Stein and Josslyn Andrews.
Guilford said "Honk!" will be the middle school's final theatrical performance in the school's existing performing arts center, which is slated for demolition.
According to Erik Slaughter, the construction manager for San Lorenzo Valley Unified School District, plans will be submitted for state approval in February to replace the existing building — constructed in the early 1980s — with a modern replacement in time for the 2014-15 school year.
The construction will be paid for with money raised by Measure O, the $18.9 million bond measure approved by San Lorenzo Valley voters in 2008.
Assuming the project gains approval, Slaughter said, the district will begin searching for bids as early as June.
"Honk!" runs until Dec. 16. Performances begin at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and Sunday matinees begin at 2 p.m.
Tickets go on sale 30 minutes before each show and cost $13 for general admission, $10 for seniors and $8 for students.
The performing arts center is on the San Lorenzo Valley High School campus, 7105 Highway 9, in Felton.

Today marks one of those funky occasions when you've probably been aware of the "new" product we're going to show you for quite some time. And we're not talking about a few days or weeks here either. In fact, it was all the way back in December of 2011, when AMD introduced the original Radeon HD 7970, that we first dropped hints that the dual-GPU powered Radeon HD 7990 was in the works. We dropped those hints back then because AMD dropped them on us in the lead-up to the Radeon HD 7970's release. That little tidbit alone should give you a good idea as to how long the Radeon HD 7990 has been simmering in AMD's kitchen. Though the product has obviously been in development for quite some time, the Radeon HD 7990 is still an exciting proposition. Despite the relative age of its GPUs, the 7990 still has the potential to be the fastest graphics card to hit the market...
AMD Radeon HD 7990 Review: The Quiet Beast
Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the fix for the stuttering actually increases performance. It is an area that AMD was not looking at before and they have been finding performance that was "left on the table".
Smooth Creations LANShark "Blue Flame" + ASUS G750JZ
Just read through a few reviews. Looks like CF issues are stopping this card just short at times. I thought it would go for 800-900, not 1000. At that price, the 690 performs more consistently, but if you play at above 1200p the 7990 is a better choice because it pulls ahead there by 5-10% at times (i.e. when there arent cf issues). Hoping new drivers will fix that.
Well everything I read AMD says the issue is just software that is needing to be optimized which I would think might give it more performance like InfinityzeN1 said. I really think AMD is getting on its game with GPUs lately and when they catch up with the software side they just might be really giving Nvidia a run for their money.
The price wasn't a shock considering the earlier reports that the 7990 can beat both the 690 and Titan. Time will well what happens in the next couple months with what AMD does with the drivers.
Also top notch review Now I just need to know where I can get a couple of these to "fall off" a truck somewhere :P
My rig - I7-4770K, ASUS Z87-A Mobo, 16 GB Corsair Ram, AMD 7990 GPU, CoolIT AiO Cooler, NZXT H630
Nice review Marco! Sure are some beastly cards out there nowadays. Thanks for the hard work getting the latency info included!
Working on an update now using the prototype drivers that address some of the frame pacing issues...
Marco ChiappettaManaging Editor @ HotHardware.com
Follow Marco on Twitter
Very nice article... but I'm just not impressed with the card. Seems like the only time AMD/ATI video cards become the best performing is when they just double up the number of GPUs on the card. Additionally, the drivers for these cards have a very long history of falling just short of the mark.
Nvidia could cheese out and just slap two GPUs in one of their cards like AMD just did... instead they innovate and develop faster/better/more advanced GPUs.
Maybe I've just been soured about AMD over the years, but this doesn't strike me as innovative and I'd rather have an Nvidia based Titan or 690 or even a pair of 680's over this card.
In what way is a 690 not just slapping 2 GPUs on one card?
Yeah man that is all the 690 is. Just two 680s combined. If AMD fixes the driver issue which hopefully they will then Nvidia might be taking a backseat until the 700 series are released. In the end it will always go back and forth though.
Ahh my mistake. I guess Nvidia did cheese out then. I wasn't aware that the 690 was just 2 GPU's on the same card.
Heh well I know both Nvidia and AMD have done dual GPU cards for the last few series. It's not like one does it only then they decide to copy them. Nvidia brought out the 690 a year ago and AMD just now because of the demand since ASUS had the only real viable dual 7000 series GPU in the Ares II.
I always go by MINIMUM fps average and maximum frame rates are irrelevant in my opinion and if you look between the very expensive cards on most games tested the difference is minimum to say the least and that's why id never buy something like that even in a dual card setup its pointless. Besides when are these manufacturers going to fit as STANDARD custom coolers like the Arctic versions?
Thats cool that they're making this, but I remember a different re-seller making their own version of the 7990 because AMD was taking to long to release it.
Update with prototype drivers is live:
Good info Marco and the video was a nice touch. So now the real test will be with those prototype drivers once AMD gets to optimizing them then see what the 7990 does on the bench!
Marco C:
Update with prototype drivers is live:
I have to admit... that is some silky smooth looking framerate.
Such a nice shiny piece of graphics hardware If only I had the spare money i'd snag this up in a heartbeat.
Any Bitcoin mining stats?
Any Bitcoin mining stats?
I have been wondering the same thing also. I know the 7950 does about 525ish and the 7970 is about 650ish. I have seen some people say the 7990's will be around 1200 but haven't seen any definitive benchmarks on them yet.
Can't wait for this thing to come out, it's going to crush nvidia's cards, the shuttering can be fixed using RadeonPro and enabling dynamic vsync and turning on triple buffering.
my dreams vga
powerfull ,beautiful,............
With two of these in a system, I think that we could easily mine some bitcoins and gain our money back! XD
Probably not, but you sure could mine a VERY respectable amount with this beauty :D
Someone who buys one of these beasts should start a HH folding team, and leave it on while they sleep!

At the rate Bitcoins are going with difficulty It would still be awhile.
Oh boy! I sure do wish I could afford one of these things! Guess I'll just have to hope I win this summer sweepstakes thing!
This thing is so much win! I wish I had one :)
Supports 4 concurrent monitors ehh? From what I see it outperforms the GTX 760 and beyond because although they may also support concurrent 4 monitor display, they're drivers are super buggy! Whereas AMD has been great with their multi monitor support! I'd suggest going for this baby if you really want your wide triple screen display when you go WAR MACHINE mode in Battlefield 3!
I like the new 7990 but i would still stick with Nvidia. much improvement since the last Amd Graphics card though
What an impressive vga, so sad the price is so high :c
I'm shocked to see these cards having the similar scores.

more to come
Airstrikes by unmanned aerial vehicles have become a matter of serious dispute lately. The controversy focuses on the United States, which has the biggest fleet of these weapons and which employs them more frequently than any other country. On one side of this dispute are those who regard them simply as another weapon of war whose virtue is the precision with which they strike targets. On the other side are those who argue that in general, unmanned aerial vehicles are used to kill specific individuals, frequently civilians, thus denying the targeted individuals their basic right to some form of legal due process.
the mistake/errors/misinfo starts early, in the first paragraph. First of all, a missile fired from a drone isnt any more accurate than a missile fired from a manned aircraft. secondly, The author (George Friedman, its his company) conflates a few arguments against the way drones are employed into one single strawman.
the benefit of drones is stated more correctly later by Friedman himself, so we dont need to go into that. the arguments against drones are as follows: while a drone itself has greater loiter time than a manned aircraft, the operator of a drone has significantly diminished situational awareness. this lack of awareness contributes to a far greater likelihood of killing people other than the target, or misidentification of the target (both of which used to be considered very bad things that shouldnt occur, but now are just a part of life under the evil empire). this brings us to targeting. the main reason drones are unpopular is the targets that drones are used to strike, or perhaps the way those targets are selected. generally speaking, in a war, soldiers are only allowed to kill individuals who have committed a hostile act or demonstrated hostile intent. soldiers are also allowed to kill enemy combatants, because allegiance to a belligerent party, in that party's armed forces, is pretty much a demonstration of hostile intent towards the counter-belligerent. well nowadays you can blast someone with a missile from a flying robot under circumstances when hostile intent, hostile actions, or combatant status has not been established according to the old standards. obviously, the answer is that due to changes in circumstance, new standards for hostile acts/intent and combatant status have to be developed. the kicker is that none of the people who are paying for this "terrorist extermination service" are privvy to those rules of engagement (roe). of course not, because its secret lol. so the opposing argument is that: it used to be ok to kill people only when they became a threat. now you say its ok to kill people when they couldnt possibly pose a threat, because the nearest americans are sometimes hundreds of miles away. what changed, besides the technology, and why isnt there more of an effort from what was promised to be "the most open Dministration in history" to disclose who and why when individuals are being extrajudicially assassinated?
Unlike a manned aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles can remain in the air for an extended period of time -- an important capability for engaging targets that may only present a very narrow target window. This ability to loiter, and then strike quickly when a target presents itself, is what has made these weapons systems preferable to fixed wing aircraft and cruise missiles.
this belongs in your lede, George.
What makes unmanned aerial vehicle strikes controversial is that they are used to deliberately target specific individuals -- in other words, people who are known or suspected, frequently by name, of being actively hostile to the United States or allied governments. This distinguishes unmanned aerial vehicles from most weapons that have been used since the age of explosives began. The modern battlefield -- and the ancient as well -- has been marked by anonymity. The enemy was not a distinct individual but an army, and the killing of soldiers in an enemy army did not carry with it any sense of personal culpability. In general, no individual soldier was selected for special attention, and his death was not an act of punishment. He was killed because of his membership in an army and not because of any specific action he might have carried out.
I'm pretty sure that snipers, riflemen, pikemen, dog handlers, and special operators have all been tasked with missions involving the targeted destruction of individuals since long before unmanned aerial vehicles had weapons, or even existed in military form. if a rifleman shoots at "an army" instead of an individual, he is a poor rifleman. I'll also mention (again) that our complaint isnt with the targeting of specific individuals, it is with the reasoning used to identify an individual for assassination, and the lack of regard for the lives of innocents (the killing of whom is euphemistically referred to as "collateral damage".
Another facet of the controversy is that it is often not clear whether the individuals targeted by these weapons are members of an enemy force. U.S. military or intelligence services reach that conclusion about a target based on intelligence that convinces them of the individual's membership in a hostile group.
we also feel that if killing is to be done as some sort of service to us, the American people, we are entitled to access the intelligence and the analytical process that were used to arrive at this determination.
The counterargument is that the United States is engaged in a unique sort of war. Al Qaeda and the allied groups and sympathetic individuals that comprise the international jihadist movement are global, dispersed and sparse. They are not a hierarchical military organization. Where conventional forces have divisions and battalions, the global jihadist movement consists primarily of individuals who at times group together into distinct regional franchises, small groups and cells, and frequently even these groups are scattered. Their mission is to survive and to carry out acts of violence designed to demoralize the enemy and increase their political influence among the populations they wish to control.
The primary unit is the individual, and the individuals -- particularly the commanders -- isolate themselves and make themselves as difficult to find as possible. Given their political intentions and resources, sparse forces dispersed without regard to national boundaries use their isolation as the equivalent of technological stealth to make them survivable and able to carefully mount military operations against the enemy at unpredictable times and in unpredictable ways.

emphasis mine. clever George, he strawmanned the opposition to drones as "individual targeting as opposed to group targeting" then defined the enemy as a group composed of individuals that cant be targeted as a group. this is intended to distract from the real opposition: why and how did you conclude that these individuals needed to be killed? why do you keep this decision process secret? secondly, refer to the above bolded part of the quote. now observe the retired former intelligence officer who cannot decide is alqaeda is hierarchical or not. you know what, maybe you guys do need to take a breather and rethink this whole thing.
Friedman talks a little bit about the rules of war, its not really worth a response because he is adhering to precedent and explaining why jihadis arent entitled to legal protections. he also talks about ww2 which I do want to get into. but its dinnertime. perhaps later.
clever George, he strawmanned the opposition to drones as "individual targeting as opposed to group targeting" then defined the enemy as a group composed of individuals that cant be targeted as a group.
nice (this whole write up). he wants us to think that al qaeda is a non-heirarchical military organization that is still categorically the same as an old military - ultimately challenging the criterion of 'heirarchical' when we think of military organizations. This leads us to the concpet that we must target individuals who appear to be leaders or people of influence (he might just want to admit that it is heirarchical) because we cannot get them for specific actions. this convoluted reasoning leads him to say that individuals can be targeted without specific actions being attributed to them.
this whole article is upsetting in this way.
this is definitely aimed at persuading people of the legitimacy of indiscriminate targeting of our formers assets or their descendants even if they only talk about it. After all, them's fightin' words.
"Al qaeda," when used by someone in conversation, is a red flag that the person is firmly under the grip of the CIAs 'persuasion' campaign. Arab scholars can name the various groups that the West ignorantly labels "al qaeda" and they are none international in their ambtions and are all based on their own tribal hermenuetics. Targeting them under the consideration that one is targeting "al qaeda" is itself a vast generalization in which one cannot possibly attribute particular actions to them. How can they when they aren't even sure which tribe; which motivation; which intention led to the attack? And this gives them the psychological captial of, when they announce on CNN that "al qaeda" did the bombing (or whatever), blanketing several groups, all but one of which will not be involved, and assimilating people into thinking that the targets for it can only be as described above. But, as you pointed out, Freidman might just not care about his language. This has all of the effects we have described, in terms of people's perceptions of events, whether the author intended it or not.
Lucas Troy: "It's all just secrets and lies, man."
Sterling Archer: 'Uhh, yeah, it's espionage."
Stratfor very rarely publishes things that I assume are not propaganda. I can think of two instances - their coverage of the mexican cartels is appropriate and insightful and the secret satellite launch last summer (it was a new type of gravitational weapon hence its classifed mission but televised launch) - that I thought "damn, that was worth reading."
you don't pay for Stratfor do you? i'd have bought the book they advertised about the mexican cartels, but they don't sell indivudal publications and I wasn't paying 160 bucks for it and a subscription that isn't worth the effort to debunk it...

Guess it's time for me to put in my opinion, and again, based on personal experience over the years. Although not the same brand I owned and shot split limbs from Golden Eagle (1997-1999)and Pearson (2000-2003).
I had two Golden Eagle Litespeeds. One with solid limbs and one with split limbs. Using a chrono I found their performance to be identical with the split limb being 1 fps faster on average. I did think the split limb performed with slightly less vibration and noise, but pretty imperceptable.
Pearson was a different story. Split was all they offered. These bows were an absolute dream to shoot. Fairly fast for their time, smooth, and very quiet. No complaints at all with the five bows I had over those three years. At the time I leaned heavily on wanting solid limbs, but over time I learned to appreciate each bow for what it was.
Now, drawing on this experience I would lean toward the split limb design. One reason is that I believe that given the amount of cam lean (limb twist) in today's shorter bows I think split limbs would be more reliable simply because as the limb do twist each side can do so independently of the other lessening the chance of limbs splitting in the middle. We all are aware of the issues of a couple years ago with the limb failures. Maybe this would alleviate it almost altogeth
Spanner brought up the thought of twisting a yoke to getd of cam lean. The onlyproblemwith this is that with a single or binary cam system there is no yoke to twist. Even with a true dual cam system it's not the complete cure. At what point do you want to adjust for? At rest there is a certain amount of force applied to the string and cables. As the bow is drawn the force on the string transfers to the cables, so now the cables are holding most of the forces. On a bow with a cable guard this means that side torque increases. And it's not constant throughout the draw cyle. It's constantly changing till the bow is fully drawn so no matter whether cam lean is alleviated at rest or at full draw it has to be present somewhere in the draw cycle. It's never gone.
However, being as all Martin, and most other companies, are only offering solo or binary cams these days adjusting a yoke is a moot point.
Without having complete inside info I have a feeling that Martin's decision to to a split limb design is not only for reliability, but also to make the bows moret as this has been an issue voiced by a lot of owners and prospective buyers. I have to commend them for listening to thepublic and having the where with all to try something different. I hope it works out and am sure that if it does then you will see more improvements over time.
Very true! It's a decision most buyers are faced with when buying a bow today.

Growth at the undergraduate level, both in headcount and student credit hours, leads to higher overall enrollment in terms of overall student credit hours at UM-Dearborn compared with Winter 2008 semester
January 27, 2009
DEARBORN / Jan. 27, 2009---Undergraduate enrollment at the University of Michigan-Dearborn increased by 210 students, or 3.7 percent, this term over a year ago. Undergraduate student credit hours are up 4.2 percent over Winter term 2008.
Growth at the undergraduate level will allow overall enrollment to increase at the campus this term, measured in terms of student credit hours, despite a sharp fall in graduate enrollment.
Overall student credit hours are 2.6 percent higher this term than in the 2008 Winter term, according to Stanley Henderson, vice chancellor for enrollment management and student life.
Our undergraduate enrollment remains very strong, despite the overall bad news in the regional economy, Henderson said. We have worked to let students know that help is available through financial aid for what remains an affordable degree. Our recent selection by Kiplingers as one of only three Michigan universities on the list of top 100 best public college values reinforces the idea that a UM-Dearborn education is a great investment in the future.
Graduate credit hours declined by slightly more than 10 percent this term. In terms of headcount, graduate enrollment is down nearly 12 percent this term over a year ago, leading to a slight decline in overall headcount of 0.6 percent.
The economy appears to be having a very negative impact on graduate enrollment, Henderson said. Corporate support in the form of tuition reimbursement for students has been withdrawn in many cases, especially in the automotive sector, and students are reconsidering graduate degrees.
Counting student credit hours is one of the standard ways to calculate enrollment, converted to full-year equated students for reports to the state government and legislature.
