* India FY14 budget proposes tax hike on SUVs
* Sales of SUVs one of the industry's few bright spots
* Import tax on luxury cars and bikes also up (Adds quotes, details, updates shares)
MUMBAI, Feb 28 (Reuters) - A surprise hike in tax on SUVs in India risked hurting one of the only bright spots in the country's automotive market, sending industry shares falling on Thursday after a federal budget that offered little help for the struggling industry.
Car sales growth in India is set to be its poorest in almost a decade during the financial year that ends in March, but strong demand for sports utility vehicles (SUVs) has provided some cheer for the country's automakers.
The budget for the coming financial year proposed a hike in the duty paid by the manufacturers of the vehicles to 30 percent from 27 percent, and did not include a reduction in excise on small cars, as the industry had hoped.
"Given the growth in that sector, that's going to hit very hard," Lowell Paddock, managing director of General Motors' Indian operations. "It's going to affect a lot of different manufacturers here ... I was surprised by that."
"What I guess I find frustrating is that there was not a recognition that the industry is currently in the doldrums," Paddock told Reuters, adding that the specific details of the SUV duty hike would be important in determining its impact.
Shares in Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd, India's biggest SUV manufacturer, fell as much as 2.5 percent on Thursday, and shares in Tata Motors Ltd fell as much as 2 percent.
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, India's biggest carmaker, saw its shares fall as much as 3.4 percent, and the industry index shed as much as 1.3 percent after the announcement.
High interest rates and rising fuel costs combined with sluggish economic growth in Asia's third-largest economy have slammed the brakes on India's car industry, once one of the world's most promising growth markets.
Sales of utility vehicles in India rose 57 percent in the nine months to December, against a 2 percent fall in car sales.
"SUVs occupy greater road and parking space and ought to bear a higher tax," finance minister P. Chidambaram told parliament in a budget speech that increased spending and raised taxes on the rich.
Chidambaram also proposed an increase in import tax on luxury vehicles to 100 percent from 75 percent, and on motorcycles with engine capacity above 800cc to 75 percent from 60 percent.
"(It) is totally surprising," said S. Sandilya, president of the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, a lobby group.
"We need to find out how it affects overall sales. It was one area where growth was significant and yes, this will have an impact." (Reporting by Henry Foy; Additional reporting by Anurag Kotoky in NEW DELHI; Editing by Daniel Magnowski)

PulseAudio (or PA for short) is a sound server that provides a number of features on top of the low-level audio interface ALSA on Linux, such as:
- Networking support (P2P and server mode).
- Per-application volume controls
- Better cross-platform support
- Dynamic latency adjustment, which can be used to save power
PulseAudio uses either:
If you have an Intel HDA soundcard, you probably want the following kernel option to improve power-saving:
Device Drivers ---> <*> Sound card support ---> <*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ---> HD-Audio ---> (2048) Pre-allocated buffer size for HD-audio driver
Portage knows the global USE flag pulseaudio for enabling support for PulseAudio in other packages. Enabling this USE flag will pull in media-sound/pulseaudio automatically:
USE="... pulseaudio ..."
The recommend USE flags of pulseaudio are:
USE flag (what is that?) | Default | Recommended | Description |
alsa |
Yes | Yes | Add support for media-libs/alsa-lib (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) |
caps |
Yes | Yes | Use Linux capabilities library to control privilege |
dbus |
Yes | Yes | Enable dbus support for anything that needs it (gpsd, gnomemeeting, etc) |
gdbm |
Yes | Yes | Use sys-libs/gdbm to store PulseAudio databases. Recommended for desktop usage. This flag causes the whole package to be licensed under GPL-2 or later. |
glib |
Yes | Yes | Add support to dev-libs/glib-based mainloop for the libpulse client library, to allow using libpulse on glib-based programs. |
orc |
Yes | Yes | Use dev-lang/orc for just-in-time optimization of array operations |
udev |
Yes | Yes | Enable virtual/udev integration (device discovery, power and storage device support, etc) |
Optional USE flags of pulseaudio are:
USE flag (what is that?) | Default | Recommended | Description |
Yes | Build the X11 publish module to export PulseAudio information through X11 protocol for clients to make use. Don't enable this flag if you want to use a system wide instance. If unsure, enable this flag. | |
asyncns |
Yes | Use libasyncns for asynchronous name resolution. | |
avahi |
No | Add avahi/Zeroconf support | |
bluetooth |
Yes | Enable Bluetooth Support | |
doc |
No | Build the doxygen-described API documentation. | |
equalizer |
No | Enable the equalizer module (requires sci-libs/fftw). | |
gnome |
No | Use GConf to store user preferences on streams and so on. Don't enable this flag if you want to use a system wide instance. If unsure, enable this flag. | |
gtk |
Yes | Add support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit) | |
ipv6 |
Yes | Add support for IP version 6 | |
jack |
No | Add support for the JACK Audio Connection Kit | |
libsamplerate |
No | No | Build with support for converting sample rates using libsamplerate |
lirc |
No | Add support for lirc (Linux's Infra-Red Remote Control) | |
oss |
No | No | Enable OSS sink/source (output/input). Deprecated, upstream does not support this on systems where other sink/source systems are available (i.e.: Linux). The padsp wrapper is now always build if the system supports OSS at all. |
realtime |
No | Makes PulseAudio use RealtimeKit (sys-auth/rtkit) to get real-time priority while running. | |
ssl |
Yes | Use dev-libs/openssl to provide support for RAOP (AirPort) streaming. | |
system-wide |
No | No | Allow preparation and installation of the system-wide init script for PulseAudio. Since this support is only supported for embedded situations, do not enable without reading the upstream instructions at http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WhatIsWrongWithSystemMode . |
systemd |
No | Build with sys-apps/systemd support to replace standalone ConsoleKit. | |
tcpd |
Yes | Add support for TCP wrappers | |
test |
No | Workaround to pull in packages needed to run with FEATURES=test. Portage-2.1.2 handles this internally, so don't set it in make.conf/package.use anymore | |
webrtc-aec |
Yes | Uses the webrtc.org AudioProcessing library for enhancing VoIP calls greatly in applications that support it by performing acoustic echo cancellation, analog gain control, noise suppression and other processing. | |
xen |
No | Builds a special paravirtualized module for running in a Xen guest. |
After setting this you want to update your system so the changes take effect:
root #
emerge --ask --changed-use --deep @world
- media-sound/pavucontrol - Pulseaudio Volume Control, a GTK+ based mixer for PulseAudio.
- media-sound/paprefs - PulseAudio Preferences, a configuration dialog for PulseAudio.
- KDE's Phonon integrated PulseAudio configuration and mixing, but it is not as powerful as pavucontrol or paprefs.
This is the only supported configuration by upstream and Gentoo developers.
PulseAudio uses udev and ConsoleKit to dynamically give access to the soundcards to the currently "active" nr. If you are running Systemd it will also take care of this without needing to use ConsoleKit.
To make this possible ACLs (Access Control Lists) are required:
File systems ---> Pseudo filesystems ---> [*] Virtual memory file system support (former shm fs) [*] Tmpfs POSIX Access Control List
If you're not using a desktop profile, check that sys-auth/consolekit or sys-apps/systemd are installed with enabled acl USE flag and that ConsoleKit is running if you are not running Systemd:
root #
/etc/init.d/consolekit status
* status: started
If not, enable it at boot time:
root #
rc-update add consolekit default
When you're finished, check, if your permissions are working correctly:
user $
getfacl /dev/snd/controlC0 | grep -Eo "user:.+:" | cut -d: -f2
For ConsoleKit/Systemd Logind managed permissions to be respected no one may be part of the audio group (not even even the user pulse). Remove any and all users from the audio group:
root #
gpasswd -d <user> audio
Configuring other applications
Some applications need to be configured to output to PulseAudio by default. A detailed list of these can be found on the PulseAudio wiki's PerfectSetup page.
If you previous had followed this article, upon upgrade to a fixed version (there should also be an einfo reminder), please remove the asound.conf file.
You need to install media-plugins/alsa-plugins with pulseaudio USE flag enabled:
root #
emerge --ask alsa-plugins
You need to enable the following module in /etc/pulse/default.pa:
load-module module-oss
- GStreamer
You need to set several GConf keys:
- You can use the graphical tool gstreamer-properties (part of gnome-extra/gnome-media). Select under Audio Input and Audio Output each PulseAudio Sound Server.
- Manual with gconftool:
user $
gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosink pulsesink
user $
gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosrc pulsesrc
- Note that some programs might still require you to set the GStreamer output plugin manually to PulseAudio Audio Sink.
You need to enable the following module in /etc/pulse/default.pa:
load-module module-protocol-esound-unix
Also you need to select with eselect the PulseAudio implementation:
root #
eselect esd set esdcompat
- libao
You need to set the following in /etc/libao.conf:
- OpenAL
You need to set the following in /etc/openal/alsoft.conf:
drivers = pulse
You need to set the following in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf:
Without udev/systemd
Using PA without udev/systemd is not recommended. It should be noted that this not only breaks auto-detection but hot-plugging as whole needlessly making your life harder as well as disabling use of ConsoleKit essentially voiding the article. Please, if you have the possibility to use udev (and you most certainly have), just use it.
In case that you are using ALSA as a PulseAudio sink (output) and routing ALSA apps to PA but not using udev, you must make sure to have set a specific device to be used. Else, PulseAudio will use ALSA device "default" as sink which may be routed back to PulseAudio, forming a loop. To avoid this, add the parameter device=hw:0,0 (you can find the correct IDs by running aplay -l). In the following example, we use two soundcards, of which card 0, device 0 is used as a sink (audio output, e.g. speakers) and card 1, device 0 as a source (audio input, e.g. microphone). PulseAudio will still be able to access other cards than these but it needs these settings to avoid looping the default device in this setup.
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,0 load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0
If you forget to specify this when using the ALSA sink/source modules, you may not notice any problems until you restart PulseAudio (e.g. by logging out and back in or rebooting). You will be left with (obviously) no audio and a slowed down desktop environment and hanging applications until you resolve the loop, restart alsasound and kill all running pulseaudio processes.
Headless server
These instructions are for setting up a headless pulse audio server. Meaning a server which has no display on it but does have speakers. This provides the ability to use the remote server's speakers for audio output.
You will get warned in a dozen places for doing this, but it is the proper method.
First configure USE flags and emerge the package. The system-wide USE flag is masked, so we have to unmask it.
root #
mkdir -p /etc/portage/profile
root #
echo "-system-wide" >> /etc/portage/profile/use.mask
root #
echo "media-sound/pulseaudio system-wide" >> /etc/portage/package.use
root #
emerge --ask --oneshot pulseaudio
Add the following 2 lines somewhere in the system.pa file
load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=22.214.171.124/24 load-module module-alsa-sink
Replace 184.108.40.206/24 with the network mask that you want to be able to access the server.
If you have multiple ALSA devices, you will need to specify the device to use by adding device or device_id to the module-alsa-sink module
Tell the init script that we really do want to do this, and then start it up.
root #
echo "PULSEAUDIO_SHOULD_NOT_GO_SYSTEMWIDE=1" >> /etc/conf.d/pulseaudio
root #
rc-update add pulseaudio default
root #
rc-service pulseaudio start
user $
pacmd load-module module-tunnel-sink server=126.96.36.199
For a more permanent solution you can add the following to your default.pa file
load-module module-tunnel-sink server=188.8.131.52
Now in the pulse audio volume control you should see the remote server listed under Output Devices. Under playback you should have a button next to the Mute audio button that when clicked will let you switch that audio stream to whichever output you want.
The equalizer module is considered unstable and might be removed from pulseaudio. For more, see the mailing list.
Make sure you installed pulseaudio with the equalizer USE flag enabled.
Enabling the required modules
Add the following 2 lines somewhere in the default.pa file
load-module module-dbus-protocol load-module module-equalizer-sink
and restart your pulseaudio instance. This should be as easy as:
user $
pulseaudio -k
user $
pulseaudio --start
Chosing the equalizer sink
The command should list the index and name of the equalizer sink:
user $
pacmd list-sinks | grep -B1 -e "name:.*equalizer"
Use pavucontrol or a similar program to select the equalizer sink for sound output. It may be listed as a device starting with FFT based equalizer.
Control the equalizer levels
The equalizer levels can now be controlled with the QT-GUI called qpaeq.
Known issues
- Short sound events (e.g. the terminal bell) distort ongoing sound streams (e.g. music)
No sound after installation
If you have no sound while using ALSA, consider unmute the sound card. Launch alsamixer and make sure each column has a green 00 under it (Use m to toggle mute/unmute). Install pavucontrol and check if there is any output on the pavucontrol panel when playing an audio.
Enable debug mode
To get more informations you need to set the following in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf:
Afterwards restart the daemon:
user $
pulseaudio -k
Audio/Video out of sync
When using PulseAudio over your local network, you can experience out-of-sync problems. Solve this by adding tsched=0:
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
This disables time scheduling. Afterwards restart the daemon:
user $
pulseaudio -k
Dummy Output
If the only playback device is the Dummy Output, PulseAudio can not access your sound devices. Either the user has no permissions (see section Permissions or another program blocks the access. Try:
user $
fuser -v /dev/snd/*
It shows the relevant program. Close the program and reconfigure it to use PulseAudio.
No guarantees on actual latencies
Currently PA provides whatever latency at that moment is possible be it some milliseconds to hundreds of milliseconds without regard to what applications ask for.
In case of buffer under-run latencies are never decreased
Currently, if a buffer under-run occurs, PA buffers for longer increasing latency, but it then never tries to buffer for less until restart.
Re-sampling using up a lot of CPU time
Re-sampling can require quite a lot of computational power, PA defaults are rather conservative but in certain cases can still take a significant toll, in such cases edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and consider changing resample-method to something less CPU intensive, default-sample-format and default-sample-rate can also affect CPU utilization with higher bit-depth and larger difference in sample-rate generally needing more resources (e.g. re-sampling 44.1 kHz to 48 kHz is faster than re-sampling either to 192 kHz). Since re-sampling is done per each channel per input, channel configuration and number of applications can affect performance as well.
Using a version of PA with Orc support can noticeably decrease CPU usage, too. Also PA has the ability, if certain conditions are met, to automatically switch sinks between common sampling rates, this effectively can avoid some re-sampling.
See PA's Frequently Asked Questions.

No cause some idiot would want to shrink volunteers too! I have been a volunteer and don't want to be shrunk!<br />
Who knows maybe we have all been shrunk to our current size by some Aliens?
This would be a great way to manage criminals. What about population control and such? Imagine the savings on food and natural resources. I'd volunteer for shrinking...provided someone gorgeous took care of me. ;)
Why shrink Volunteers?
was thinking smaller. Think of the places we could be carried or snuggled up in....
what a good idea! it would certainly knock them down a size
one inch !
Why not always?
small enough to fit in a glass bottle.....then, fill the bottle with alcohol, cork the top, and put them away in a closet....
yup...would reduce the prison population, and save time and money in the courts.....
good idea though, but if they escape, they would be able to hide easily. Maybe we can just freeze them and then defrost them when their time is up......lol
Prison costs would go way down, thats for sure.
Thats BRILLIANT. I think pink finger side would work.
Permanent for rape and murder! Or for rape, we can just shrink their weewee!!

Over the years, I am able to carve a beautiful path to reach to my dreams through Food blogging with the support of my loving family & friends. Hmm…well, as they say "You can't go wrong where there is love and inspiration".

Which bowl game (besides the Pinstripe Bowl) are you most looking forward to this year?
Who is the biggest "gift" that ISU received in the incoming football and basketball classes?
We have one more game till Big 12 play. What are your feelings right now?
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
Is this basketball team going to suprise us during conference season. I hear a lot of complaining about effort, lucky for me i don't have mediacom and have missed almost every game so far........that Full Court package i paid $125 should start picking up games soon though
we haven't won a game in hilton against a ranked team since 2006 - will that streak end this season and against whom?
do you consider Die Hard a Christmas movie, and why
Terrence Samuel has listed us as his favorite Matt Thomas has made a short handful of unofficial visits to Ames Chris Thomas just expanded his top 5 to include ISU Kyle Washington just made an unofficial We were ALL OVER Tyler Ennis this summer What is your take on our 2013 basketball recruiting? Who have you heard we are after the most? An early commitment (plus a pinstripe win) would be a great Christmas present.
Saw Curtis Stinson at the MBB game last night. What's in his future?
Would you rather see a win in the Pinstripe Bowl or a trip to the Big Dance by Freddy and Co.? You can only choose one. Go Cyclones!!
If you were to make one wish from Santa Claus aka Paul Rhoads, what would that be?

UPDATE SANDY HOOK SCHOOL SHOOTING INVESTIGATION The Connecticut State Police is not releasing further information in regards to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings at this time. The recent seminar during which the Newtown case was discussed was designed for law enforcement professionals only. Law enforcement sensitive information was discussed dealing with tactical operational approaches employed by first responders on the day of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Officer safety and public safety along with lessons learned from the incident were discussed. Following each tragic mass murder incident in this country it is customary for law enforcement to share their lessons learned from the investigation so that other law enforcement agencies can learn. The Connecticut State Police has not and will not speak publicly on the Sandy Hook investigation, as it is still ongoing and it is the policy of the State Police that no factual information will be distributed until the families of the victims have been informed first. The families of the victims continue to be a priority in this investigation and this fact was clearly stated at the seminar. It is unfortunate that someone in attendance chose not to honor Colonel Stebbins request to respect the families right to know specifics of the investigation first. It is anticipated that the final Connecticut State Police report is still several months away. No additional info is available regarding this case. -end- Lt. J.

The tree of life shows a clock-like trend?
March 12, 2015 | Posted by News under News, Tree of life |
In new species emergence and diversity, according to From ScienceDaily: For the massive meta-study effort, researchers painstakingly assembled data from 2,274 molecular studies, with 96 percent published in the last decade. They built new computer algorithms and tools to synthesize this largest collection of evolutionary peer-reviewed species diversity timelines published to date to produce this […]

Last week, one of my comments relating to the KS "bomb" argument was made the subject of an OP, which can be found here.

Keith brought in an argument he claimed to be a "bomb" for ID. It turned out to be a failed suicide mission where the only person that got blown up was Keith. (Please note: I am assuming that life patterns exists in an ONH, as Keith claims, for the sake of this argument only. Also, […]

So if Nelson presents the kind of evidence you can read for yourself in the journals and is covered here at UD, about why the Tree of Life is matchwood, and undermines Velasco's position, it doesn't really count.

Yeah, I'm not sure why Explorer ever called them favorites. Every other browser calls the "Bookmarks". Oh, and by the way: just a correction of terminology...Firefox is NOT an "Internet Explorer". Internet Explorer is Microsoft's Web Browser. Firefox and Safari (and numerous others) are also Web Browsers. I know that's no big deal, but just thought I'd correct you on that

The Red Sox might not have enjoyed good luck necessarily at the start of this season, but it's hard not to think they're experiencing some bad luck at the moment.
David Ross was the latest player to leave a game with an injury on Tuesday night, joining Joel Hanrahan, who left the Red Sox game Monday with forearm tightness. Add that to Andrew Bailey's recent DL stint, and the number of walking wounded in the Boston organization is quickly growing.
NESN Nation's Dan Duquette is starting to get a little worried. See why in the above video.

Chalk Pub Talk with Lori Keith
Thrills and Chills of Extreme Day
Canterbury Park will send out exotic animals and accompanying jockeys for Saturday's annual Extreme Day, an occasion when caution and civility are thrown to the wind and some people are caught downwind from the camels, zebras and ostriches. It is an occasion of fun and games along with the regularly featured thoroughbred races, including a few of an extreme nature.
During his second season as a jockey Ry Eikleberry consented to riding an ostrich during a promotion at Turf Paradise in Phoenix. Listening to him retell the occasion, it sounds as if the memory isn't about to fade anytime soon.
Eikleberry climbed aboard the big bird in the claustrophobic confines of the starting gate prepared to break cleanly and swiftly, in the fashion he always anticpates aboard a horse.
One problem.
"The bird turned its head and looked right at me," he said.
It goes without saying, but the ordeal wasn't over.
"Then it kept trying to peck me," he said.
So, there he is, aboard a nice pair of Nocona exotic boots, and the thing was prepared to eat him.
Will that stop him from riding an ostrich during Canterbury Park's Extreme Day promotion on Saturday?
Eikleberry is leading all riders in the current standings in Shakopee. Who in his right mind would jeopardize that by risking a disabling peck in the eye from a bird that has been known to kick a human being to high heaven for simply looking at him…or her.
Not Eikleberry. He's taking a philosophic approach to Canterbury's Extreme Day and the chance to ride an ostrich, a camel or even a zebra.
Thanks. But no thanks.
"It was fun," he said about the ostrich ride. "A real good, one-time experience."
He will be part of other Extreme Day activities nonetheless.
He will ride Oughterson in the seventh race as the Battle of the Surfaces returns, with some minor adjustments. Races will be run simultaneously on the dirt and turf courses, but for wagering purposes it will be a single race.
That event will feature the largest field in the nation this year with a contingent of 20 horses, besting even the Kentucky Derby and its annual cavalry charge by one.
Twelve horses are entered to run on the grass, the other eight on the dirt.
You might recall that one of the starting gates failed to open in 2008 when this race was run for the second time. It is emerging from the ashes Phoenix-like for its first running since.
The grass horses will run a mile and 1/16 and those on the dirt a flat mile. Racing officials have analyzed the varying speeds of the two surfaces and the class of horses entered in the two fields to account for the difference.
Some of the jockeys aren't so sure about that.
"A mile is a mile is a mile," one of them responded.
Canterbury apparently will take everything to an extreme on Saturday.
Eikleberry will ride a horse called Rebel's Myne in the sixth race, at a mere two furlongs. "I've ridden a lot of babies two furlongs." he said. "But this is the first time I've ridden an older horse that distance."
Canterbury Park Hall of Fame rider Scott Stevens will leave the exotic rides to the youngsters. He's had enough spills and wrecks for one lifetime without setting himself up for a possible peck or two from an ostrich, a bite from a zebra or camel spit in an eye.
Besides, camels have been known to transmit the dreaded MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) virus to human beings, although pressbox impressario Jeff Maday is not in the least concerned.
"These camels were bred in Kansas," he said. "No need to worry."
Tell that to Lori Keith, who rode one of the smelly fellows to victory a couple of years ago. "I didn't know they spit at you," she said at the time." Nonetheless, Keith was aboard the winning Rock N' Spit.
There are also zebra races scheduled, and Keith was able to supply some insight on those beasts as well, supplied by trainer Mike Biehler. "He said they are kind of ornery and very hard to break," she said.
In addition, one of the striped devils from a previous Extreme Day had the termerity on an occasion to bite off its trainer's thumb..
Keith has the mount on Little Wagon in the Battle of the Surfaces, on the turf. She is foregoing another opportunity on the camels or ostriches, content to leave that to the track's youngest riders, who still believe they are bullet-proof.
Despite her reluctance to mount another camel, the two-time winner of the Mystic Lake Derby likes the Extreme Day promotion.
"It's good to cultivate the younger population, and this is good publicity-wise for Canterbury," she said.
Although camels or zebras are not among his mounts on the card, Stevens will ride Ivory Fudge for trainer Robertino Diodoro on the main track in the Battle of the Surfaces race. He has the call on My Fine Lady in the sixth race, the two-furlong dash.
As one example for his enduring success at race-riding, Stevens pointed out some facts about one of his rivals in that race, an indication that he continues to do his homework.
Jorge Correno rides Just Meteor, a winner at five furlongs in his only Canterbury out. He has a six-race winning streak. "It would be 10 but he finished second in two races by a nose and a neck," Stevens said.
Even so, he figures to be in the race. "I like my chances," he said. "My filly is fast, real fast." A nice feature in any race, yet especially at two furlongs.
2013 Champions Determined
The skies were forbidding and dark much of the day, but the finish was one of the most colorful in Canterbury Park history as the 2013 race meet came to a stirring conclusion.
The weather was really not a factor until light rain began falling midway through the card. It was somewhat heavier by the eighth race.
The card included perhaps the most colorful and athletic promotion ever conducted on the premises, the championship race of the three-day Indian Relay Races.
An impressive turnout of 12,160 bid adieu to the season and reacted enthusiastically to the excitement of the relay races, won by a 23-year-old rider from the Shoshoni-Bannock Nation in Fort Hall, Idaho.
Most of them were gone by the time the trophy was presented to the leading rider this summer, Dean Butler.
The riding title for the meet came down to race four, in which Sleep Walking, ridden by Butler, held off Dakota Dusty and Alex Canchari. That increased his lead over Canchari to four at the time.
Canchari kept it interesting, nonetheless, hand-riding Theatre of Dreams to an easy win in race five to pull once again to within three and punctuating that with a win in the 10th race. Canchari and Butler were the only two riders to finish with total earnings of more than $1 million each. Butler's total heading into Saturday's card was $1,267,955. Canchari's was $1,248,479.
Butler intends to take a couple of months off and then head to home to Tampa. Canchari intends to drops his tack at Hawthorne Race Course in suburban Chicago.
Mac Robertson had an 18-win lead over Bernell Rhone and Mike Biehler heading into the final card, his ninth consecutive training title safely in the bag. He added Saturday's fifth and 10th races to increase his total wins for the meet to 51.
Lori Keith, who wound up as the meet's fourth-leading rider, won her 41st race of the meet aboard Cap and Trade in the sixth. She intends to head to Oklahoma and then Arkansas and is sure to recall Canterbury 2013 as the meet in which she won a second consecutive Mystic Lake Derby, the biggest race of the summer.
Eddie Martin, Jr., had a solid meet, winning 37 races, as did Canterbury Hall of Fame rider Scott Stevens, who won the seventh race, a $35,000 overnight stake, aboard National, trained by Miguel Angel Silva. Stevens concluded the meet with 34 wins and will return to Phoenix for the meet that begins on Oct. 5 at Turf Paradise. Martin was undecided about his next stop.
For 23-year-old rider Jerrad Serino the next stop is home. Serino was a convincing winner of the relay races, due largely to near perfect horse exchanges during both pit stops of the three-mile race. Three miles, three horses for each of the nine riders in the final, and the importance of the exchange after each mile became obvious as miscues during dismounting and engaging an awaiting exchange horse proved to be the difference.
"That was the most important," said Serino, who stressed the importance of training and staying fit for these grueling races, all conducted bareback.
The win was the third of his career for Serino, whose twin brother got him interested in the sport three years ago. His entire family, everyone but Jerrad, has been involved with horses. "I didn't like them as a kid. I wanted to play basketball," said the 5-7, 145-pound Serino. What he did mostly was boxed, throughout his youth.
Riders frequently train for these races, not only by riding and conditioning their horses, but by using small trampolines, a foot or two off the ground, to strengthen their lower legs for bounding from one horse and onto another during exchanges.
Second place went to the His Bad Horse team and rider Lynwood His Bad Horse, Jr., a mere-16-year-old from the Northern Cheyenne Tribe.
Third was Holds The Enemy, a Crow team, and rider Ferlin Blacksmith, who won two heats preceding the final.
In the first race of the last day of racing, Jake Barton picked up a check for the return trip to Phoenix aboard Smarty Gras, winning by two-plus lengths. Barton was a new addition to the jockey colony late in the season and intends to return again for the 2014 meet.
Until then, he will ride at Turf Paradise and, in his spare time, hunt the arroyos and washes of the Arizona desert for quail, his chief devotion outside of racing.
Martin Escobar brought in Lady Ban Shee in race two, rallying in the final 16th to shade Santa Fe Sue and Butler by a solid neck.
Strange things happen on closing day, such as…
Hi Prim, under Ken Shino, got up in the final jump to provide trainer Nancy Sheehan her first win of the meet, in her 51st try, and at 38-1 in race three. There was not much more than a half-length separating the top four finishers in that thrilling finish.
Immediately thereafter, paddock analyst Angela Hermann and track president/CEO Randy Sampson presented trainer Cory Jensen with the award for his leading owners of the meet, Midwest Thoroughbreds.
There were, of course, additional awards for the stars of the summer show – the horses.
Heliskier, owned by Marlene Colvin and trained by Robertson, was named Horse of the Year for the second straight meet, joining Hoist Her Flag as the only other horse in Canterbury history to win the title twice.
His dominance at Canterbury was demonstrated by two additional awards. Heliskier was named sprinter of the meet as well as the champion Older Horse.
Dorsett, trained by Michael Stidham and owned by Terry Hamilton, was selected champion Three-year-old Colt or Gelding on the strength of his Mystic Lake Derby win.
Badge of Glory, owned by Richard Bremer and Cheryl Sprick and trained by Rhone was selected champion Three-year-Old Filly, and Dontrattlemycage, owned by Nicholas Raver and trained by Nevada Litfin, was voted Grass Horse of the meet. Second Street City, owned by Al and Bill Ulwelling, second in the owner standings, was voted champion Older Filly or Mare.
Wayne Simon owned and Robert Johnson trained Appeal to the King is the champion Two Year Old. Machorina, owned by Emerald Bay Stables and trained by Mike Biehler, is the Claimer of the meet, and Stone Cottrell, owned by Terry Riddle and trained by champion conditioner Stacy Charette-Hill, is Champion Quarter Horse.
Still competitive despite his near miss at a title, Canchari brought in Grizzled Robert, the final winner of the 2013 season. That cut Butler's final margin to two. The horse is trained by, who else, Robertson.

Sunday Racing Musings
Once the obligations of winning such a race were attended to, once the handshakes, backslaps, hugs and nods of congratulation had been received, the interviews conducted and the rush of adrenaline subsided, there was time for family, close friends and the owners of the horse.
Yes, there are duties concomitant with riding the winning horses in significant races and for a second consecutive year they were assumed by Lori Keith.
In those heady moments of semi-solitude in the jockeys lounge after Saturday's $200,000 Mystic Lake Derby, Keith was on the phone with the owners of Dorsett, who had simply run away from seven rivals as if they were disgraced defensive backs trying to grab the churning legs of the horse's Dallas Cowboys' namesake during his prime.
Yes, Dorsett was named for Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett who, you might recall, set an NFL record of 99 yards for the longest run from scrimmage against the Minnesota Vikings on a Monday night in 1983.
In any event, Dorset's owner and Dallas fan Terry Hamilton was on the phone with Ms Keith after the Derby, having watched the race at home in Canada. Keith was wrapped up in a stunning Star blanket, presented to her by Keith Anderson, vice chairman of the Mdewakanton Sioux Community of Mystic Lake, the sponsors of the race and the Mystic Lake Purse Enhancement program.
Mrs. Hamilton had spotted the blanket on the television screen and fallen in love with it immediately. "Here, my wife wants to talk to you," said her husband.
Within a matter of moments the two women, Mrs. Hamilton and Ms. Keith conducted their exchange of gifts. Mrs. Hamilton got the blanket. Ms. Keith got the Mystic Lake Derby trophy.
"What, you gave away my trophy," lamented Mr. Hamilton.
In typical Sioux tradition, Mrs. Hamilton had presented a gift of the trophy to Ms. Keith, who in turn, presented the blanket to Mrs. Hamilton.
Ms. Keith, of course, also talked with her parents, owners of a bistro in the South of France, who watched the race at 12:30 a.m., their time, down the street from the restaurant. Lori imagined her father shooing patrons out of the bistro. "They had to be out by 11," she said.
"They were happy and proud," Lori said Sunday. "They were so pleased that I had mentioned them."
As she does quite often.
The Hamiltons couldn't have been happier, either. After all, Keith had ridden a Hamilton horse, Hammers Terror, to victory in the first Derby, last year, although she had to withstand a stewards inquiry in that one.
That's what made Sunday's victory even more enjoyable. No inquiry. A nice clean trip.
"I beat myself up for weeks after (the 2012 Derby)," Lori said. "So, this one probably was a little more enjoyable."
Dorsett was simply much the best on Saturday, sweeping past seven rivals as if they were weanlings in the pasture for a three-length win. Vikings defenders clutching at his ankles.
Everyone, rider, owners and trainer, Michael Stidham, were pleased with the win.
"The horse continues to get better, and the rider did a great job," said Stidham after the race.
Will there be a second encore?
"Well, a lot can happen with a two-year-old," said Ms. Keith
"Between now and the three-year-old season." Of course, but if anyone is curious, the two-year-old Hamilton has in mind for next year's race is Heart to Heart.
By the way, long-suffering fans, the Vikings won that game in spite of Dorsett, 31-27.
Oh, and Hamilton ordered a second trophy – for himself.
Luis Canchari and family were standing outside the winner's circle Sunday afternoon, clearly still pleased with what their son, Alex, accomplished on Saturday.
Alex Canchari, the Minnesota Kid, in the biggest win of his brief career, won the $100,000 Northbound Pride Oaks aboard Stoupinator for trainer Mac Robertson and owner Joseph Novogratz, a head in front of Kipling's Joy.
There was no time for celebration on Saturday night. "I had to be back at Mac's barn at 5 a.m." said Alex.
His family members were clearly delighted with his effort.
Alex's mother gave him a kiss after the race. His dad was still beaming on Sunday.
"We are proud of him," said Luis, who rode at Canterbury in the 1980s, having moved to Shakopee from Peru. "It would be nice to see a Minnesota kid win the riding title."
Alex is doing what he can. He has 35 wins for the second, one behind Ry Eikleberry and six behind Dean Butler, the leaders.
The Reiswigs of Bismarck, N.D. have a fond spot for the two-year-old filly Seis The Royal Cash, a daughter of Royal Cash Dawn.
Mom and daughter were purchased as a package. "We bought the mare in foal," explained Brenda Reiswig. "We lost the mother a year ago, so this one has had a hard time. She has a special place in our hearts."
Even more special now.
Seis The Royal Cash was sent off at 16-1 in Sunday's North Central Quarter Horse Futurity, a bit of a shock to Reiswig. "I thought 'oh, oh,'" said Reiswig.
All was well nonetheless.
Seis the Royal Cash, with Ismael Suarez Ricardo up, stunned nine rivals, taking the inside path to victory in front of Sportwagon and Engine Number Nine.
Trainer Vic Hanson summed up the victory succinctly.
"We drew well," he said.
Indeed. The inside has been a boon of late.
"It evened out for a while there," said Hanson. "Now it's a little more to the inside, again."
Nonetheless, Seis The Royal Cash claimed the winner's share of the $45,050 purse for her connections, paying $35.20, $16.20 and $5.80 across the board.
Hanson handles the Reiswig horses at Canterbury, 20-some in all.

Race of the Week: Mystic Lake Derby
The second edition of the Mystic Lake Derby is fairly similar to the first, with connections hailing from all corners for this $200,000 purse at a mile on turf. Last year's winning owner, Terry Hamilton, is back with the favorite in this year's running in Dorsett, recently Grade 3 placed in the Arlington Classic.
To put the field's complexion in perspective, two stakes winners have drawn in and they are 9/2 and 6/1 on the morning line. Surprisingly, that 6/1 stakes winner is the lone victor at a mile on turf thus far in his career. Red Zeus is an Arizona native who's made his running here since spending the winter & spring in his home state, but came up with a solid victory last time on the main track against lesser foes. The payoffs may not need a Brinks truck for their removal, but this is still a guessing game to a degree with the undeveloped talent in the gate. Here we go!
1. Impassible Canyon – Can one ever throw out Mike Maker when he ships in for a stake? I don't want to but I could be forced to with the difficulty in the first three legs of this late pick four. He gives up a whole lot of experience to this field and draws the rail to go with it. He's not a speedy fellow out of the gate so that may not be an issue – but traffic could become one on a turf course that hasn't been all that tiring on front runners. He has shipped many a place to find a comfortable surface and spot, and while he's been close each time none of his races really scare you into singling him here. The fact still remains that his two best performances have been on Turfway's synthetic track and Ellis Park turf. Not to undermine either place, but there are some big fish coming to swim.
2. Dorsett – This is your morning line favorite looking to keep the owner's record perfect in this race. Hammer's Terror was a little more seasoned by the time this race came around last year, but it appears this one is coming around a bit later in life with lots of talent. He can come from various points in the pack too, over many types of going. I'm sticking with lots of Chicago turf horses just because of what they've been through this spring as far as weather & whatnot. A lot of their allowance fields have been loaded with horses seeking turf and not getting it – when races stay on the grass they are TOUGH. His one really off race came on the dirt and unless that happens he's a must use. Lori Keith will also try to keep her record perfect in the derby, and looks very live in that respect.
3. Finding Candy – He started off the year with a bang but hasn't shown the same fight since that time. Maybe the slop was his friend that day? He fought it out on the front end gamely to break his maiden but winners have been a little too much for him early and late, as the margins of defeat in his last two have been hefty. Chongo did run impressively the other day but this horse is also back on less than a week's rest… Hmmm. Interesting that he hasn't flourished on turf as his mother's only win came over the grass. This is one that may mature with grace but for now still has some things to iron out.
4. Coastal Breeze – Nothing wrong with a win streak. He's looking for his third in a row in the Derby, and also draws Channing Hill up from Chicago to take the mount. He and Catalano have had their ups and downs at the Arlington Meet this spring but have been rock solid when right. This horse obviously fits in that category and has shown his versatility for all other surfaces besides dirt. Baffert enters a lot of maiden special weights in duos and this one always seemed to be a cut below his stablemate. Given a change of scenery the colt seemed much better off and showed the speed trained into him out west. Though his first try on turf wasn't a resounding win, his subsequent synthetic efforts show the front running improvement to merit a shot here. Channing rode him in his first win, and the second and third finishers were well clear. May be the one in the right spot at the right time.
5. Kale's Courage – He got a head start on some of his recently-arrived competition by getting a route win in over our track in May, though it was taken off the turf. What he beat that day remains to be seen, but given that it was on the dirt we still don't know what the horse can really do on the track. There are a couple of winners in his family on the turf, and one can excuse his effort in the Iowa Derby against better. A couple that defeated him that day went on to run in the Jim Dandy last weekend, though not all that well. Lots of question marks here but he is the real deal.
6. Evan's Calling – He has plenty of turf running behind him but only one win to show for those eight starts. Many were sprints in Louisiana, but the horse has learned to rate a bit as he's gone along. He hasn't won yet at a mile but has come around in that respect a bit lately. He was beaten pretty fair & square by Coastal Breeze two back but again, hasn't necessarily needed the lead as he's gained experience. He's still good for non-2 competition though (like many) and will be a little up against it after trying stakes company once. He ran an even third in said race at the Fairgrounds and just doesn't seem to have made steps forward as much recently as in the past.
7. Red Zeus – The raw stats are in his corner, but they are mostly due to his fifteen starts to dwarf the rest. He's made three of them on turf and is a stakes winner over the surface, but that was against Arizona-breds and in fact we saw the top three finishers all come back to fill a trifecta in his last race on dirt. Were these three it in the quality three year old department this winter or is there more to it? He needs no pace help and is familiar with his jockey Alex Canchari. He hasn't touched our turf before but got a bullet work in to prepare for this and is the one least-altering his schedule for the race. A few things to like about a local at a price – he will be on my ticket.
8. Officer Alex – The name immediately should say "I'm by Officer, and I learned how to run very early on." He got in a couple of state-bred wins before hitting the road to Arkansas this spring, and had a very good spring after fleeing the Kentucky Derby trail early on. While he locked horns with grade 3 types a couple of times, both outings were unsuccessful and the same can be said of his two route efforts. He didn't beat one horse home last time in his initial go over turf, and this one perhaps has the look of one seeking mud. He's two of three over an off surface and his early lick makes him a must use if it's washed off the weeds.
The three I'll be using are Dorsett, Coastal Breeze & Red Zeus. This is a field that could line up at the end of it at the wire but this has the look of a lot more potential at this point than proven stardom. Find the colt moving forward at the right time and you could find value right along with it. Good luck in a grassy pick four on Saturday!

Royal Birth Touches Canterbury
Superstitions abound around any racetrack, among the riders, the trainers and the public as well.
So wrap your belief in signs, omens, precursors and presentiments around this tidbit: birthdays were being celebrated along with actual births at Canterbury Park on Thursday and some of the results were eye-opening.
Lori Keith, Canterbury's third leading rider at the moment, was talking with her father very recently, as she does most days. Keep in mind, Ms. Keith is English and her parents, English as well, of course, own a restaurant in the South of France.
Naturally, phone conversations take place via long distance.
The subject of the recent royal birth came up the last time father and daughter talked. Ms. Keith was reminded by her father that she celebrated her 31st birthday on the very day George Alexander Louis, son to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, was born.
"He was born at St. Mary's Hospital, the same place I was born," said Ms. Keith.
Read what you may or must into that bit of information. It is interesting under any conditions, perhaps even fortuitous. At least the Ulwellings, Al and Bill, hoped as much after receiving the news about the royal connection to the woman riding their horse.
"You can't make up stuff like that," said Al.
"Maybe that means good luck. I hope so," said Bill.
After all, Keith had mounts on Ulwelling horses in the sixth and seventh races. She finished out of the money on the Ulwellings' Gilden Quest in race six. Then the belief in lucky charms proved reliable as Keith won the seventh aboard Sheisinittowinit, surviving a stewards' inquiry in the process.
For her part, Keith had different notions entirely about the fact that the new English prince and she were born on the same date, at the same hospital.
"It's pretty cool," she said.
So, there you have it. A prince of England born at St. Mary's Hospital in London at the same location and on the same date as the third-leading rider at Canterbury – I say Canterbury – Park in Shakopee.
It doesn't end there. As Minnesota Twins fans and anyone able to read well know, the team's catcher from St. Paul and his wife are the proud parents of fraternal twin girls.
Identical twin boys, Colton and Cooper, were born the same day to the grandson and significant other of Tom and Karen Metzen. So the Metzens are great grandparents and celebrated the occasion on Thursday evening with the winning horse, Awesome year, in race six. The trainer? David Van Winkle, who was celebrating his 50th birthday. It didn't end there. The Van Winkle-trained Jantzesfancyfriend won the ninth race, too.
Rebecca Ramm, who handles the main phone line to Canterbury among other duties, including coffee making, was also celebrating. Her friend Shahara is the mother to the twin boys.
Maybe there is something to this omen thing, after all.
Jack Walsh, the preeminent horse owner from Somerset, Wis., oversaw the HBPA Golf Tournament Monday for the third consecutive year and reported that 86 signed up for the tournament and 85 showed up.
"That's unusual," Walsh said.
The tournament was won, incidentally, by the team of Chad and Mark Anderson, Mike Chambers and Todd Rarick.
They finished at 14 under par.
"Chambers eagled the ninth hole, I think it was," said Mark Anderson. "That sort of pumped up the team from there."
Alex Canchari strolled into the jockeys room after winning the third race aboard Wilhelmina, blood running from one of his hands. What happened? he was asked.
"The band aid came off," he said. Canchari, who once made tacos in the taco stand at the track, cut the hand while preparing a meal for his parents. "I was opening a can,'' he said.
Race four was won by Larren Delorme on Premodixon, sent off at 13-1, a complete surprise to the rider.
"I figured I had a good shot," said Delorme. "He was legitimate. More consistent (than 13-1)."
Race five went to Hakuchi, trained by Robertino Diodoro and ridden to a second straight win by Scott Stevens. "Only two mounts I've had for him," said Stevens.

Technology Transfer Network - Air Toxics Web Site
SIC Codes of the Paper and Other Web Coating Industry
NOTE: A source list for the Paper and Other Web Coating Industry is not available. Provided below are the SIC codes associated with this source category. The information was taken from the Paper and Other Web Coating Operations - BID Document (EPA-453/R-00-002).This file was modified on 1/21/03 to include NAICS Codes for corresponding industries in Table 2-2.
The POWC industry includes the manufacture of a wide range of products. Table 2-2 presents a listing of 18 Standard Industrial Classification codes (SIC) codes for industries that include products or processes that are likely to be manufactured or used, respectively, by the POWC industry. As shown in the table, the POWC industry is thought to encompass a large number of SIC codes. However, there may be facilities operating under other SIC codes not included in Table 2-2 that also apply coating to web substrates, such as paper, plastic, film, foil, and foam. In addition, all facilities operating under these SIC codes are not necessarily members of this source category; many of the 18 SIC codes cover only one or two products that are manufactured with web coating. Some of the 18 SIC codes include facilities that primarily print rather than coat the substrate, that may choose to cover their limited coating operations under the printing and publishing NESHAP. Consequently, while the list of SIC codes presented in Table 2-2 can serve as a guide to identifying many of the facilities in the POWC industry, it should not be used to completely define the industries subject to the POWC NESHAP.
Based on emissions estimates from the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) system65 for these SIC's, the POWC data gathering efforts focused on the four largest segments of the POWC industry that were defined by their product and process types: pressure-sensitive tapes and labels (SIC 2672), flexible vinyl (SIC 3081), photographic film (SIC 3861), and decorative and industrial laminates (SIC 3083). Therefore, much of the information in this section focuses on these four industry segments. A fifth segment, called "Miscellaneous Coating," is also discussed that includes a number of industries that are identifiable as having some web coating operations associated with their product manufacturing, such as those facilities that do both printing and coating.
Within 1996 TRI data for the 18 POWC SIC's, the four major POWC SIC's (2672, 3081, 3861, 3083) had the greatest percentages of major source HAP emissions, and together represent 79 percent of the TRI emissions and 82 percent of the facilities (if the six Printing and Publishing SIC codes are excluded from the analysis).
