In an eagerly anticipated day of debates about the international business of horseracing, Roy and Du Plessis will be joining such important racing administrators as:
- Edward Wray, co-founder and chairman of Betfair;
- David Attenborough, managing director and CEO of Tabcorp (Australia);
- Simon Bazalgette, Group CEO of the Jockey Club;
- Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, CEO of the Hong Kong Jockey Club;
- Rod Street, CEO, Racing for Change and British Champions Series;
- Kim HengTeo, VP Sales and Business Development, Singapore Turf Club;
- Paul Fisher, Group MD of the Jockey Club Racecourses;
- Simon Clare, PR and broadcast director of Coral and
- Jamie Aitchison, Sports Editor, Channel 4.
Both men join the session examining the fractured nature of the international horseracing community and the wide range of vested interests within it. Traditionalists, ownership groups, betting operators, entrepreneurs and other businesses differ widely on their opinions of how to reform the sport. Roy and Du Plessis will be expressing their opinions on the matter as well as explaining what their organisations are doing to prepare for the changing times ahead.
Du Plessis joined Phumelela as its Group CEO in 2008 and under him, the organisation based in South Africa has continued to grow and post record earnings.
Du Plessis showed his ability to judge the market by expanding the betting arm of Phumelela into football odds as horserace gambling in South Africa began to decline. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup Betting World, the fixed-odds operator owned by Phumelela Gold, posted profits of just over R3 million. Du Plessis is currently in the process of expanding Phumelela's betting operations to incorporate more outlets and more gaming options.
Roy joined the British Horseracing Board as chairman in 2006, becoming the first chairman of the British Horseracing Authority in 2007. He is a keen racehorse owner with a number of horses currently in training. He also sits on the Horserace Betting Levy Board and is chairman of the property investment company, New River Retail plc, and vice president of the Philip Leverhulme Equine Hospital.
Leaders in Racing has been designed by the industry for the industry and is supported by four founding partners: the UK Jockey Club, Tabcorp Holdings Ltd, GBI Racing and SIS.
The conference is nearly sold out with only a handful of passes remaining and a strict vetting procedure is in operation to protect the quality and relevance of the audience.
The two-day conference on 5 and 6 October at Chelsea FC takes place within the Leaders Sports Summit, which brings together five leading conferences which also include Football, Sponsorship, Digital Sport and Performance.

The Tale of Two Charts: Can the Central Planners Pull It Off?
As we enter another earnings season, volume has been light, but the S&P is up ~8% YTD. So, are we in the middle of a centrally planned bull market or not?
As the sides lay out their arguments, and the Fed trots out talking heads to constantly contradict each other & baffle the market with bullshit, there are two charts that are worth taking a look at.
The first is a chart showing analyst EPS estimate revisions, along with the S&P 500 20 day moving average. This is what the central planners are trying to keep going. As you can see, the S&P has been ticking up since its 2011 low, and for the first time since mid-2011, analysts have revised their EPS estimates upward into positive territory. Is this the bullish indicator CNBC has long been waiting for? (ok, outside of everything pisani can spin as bullish for equities).
The second chart, as ZH elaborated on earlier today, is the piece of the puzzle that Bernanke can't quite figure out. The central planners are desperately trying to get the retail investor to believe that the water is warm, jump on in -- if they can somehow keep the market inflated for just a little bit longer perhaps the ponzi can continue. This chart shows that investors still are not buying what the Bernank is selling, and retail funds continue to exit equities, and much to Goldman's chagrin, head into bonds.
So, which is it? Are we in the midst of an epic bull run, or an epic run of bull shit. Place your bets.
Charts: Bloomberg / Sara Eisen & Zero Hedge

But seriously I cannot wait for the kill zones swap , as betting on death would be a great way to bring in viewership--possible start areas--detroit-dc-oakland-iran----- oh wait, that has already begun....
Irrigating your sinuses is anyway a very good idea as it helps to take away mucous and harmful germs and bacteria from your nose. Please do not stop doing it because of neti pot death rumors. You can't deny that it's considerably cheaper than purchasing and taking nasal steroids.
Umm, sorry, just wondering when the fabulous, desperate and altogether-goofy US Debt-Ceiling Wall-'O-Default Fall European Tour and it's assorted ornery US 'Leadership' shit-fight support-act, gets rolling again?
Like in a few months, isn't it?
How quickly we forget, this living within a Homer Simpson version of the universe.
Now it's green-shoots and 'record' squiggly lines.
But ... the iceberg approacheth.
Happy down-grade kids.
PS: I'll be going with, "epic run of bull shit", thanks ... now where's that animated GIF of HFT activity got to?
I believe that circus is not scheduled to visit the Crime Capitol until September -- the Fall[ing over] Surprise 'Whooda Thunkit [Again]' Show -- featuring:
- Ben "the Bearded Lady" Bernank and Timmaaay the Dwarf, as the jugglers
- Jesuit John "My Back Hurts" Boehner, as the ringmaster
- "Frankly Frankist" Cantor and Nancy "I'm too old for this shit" Pelosi on the trapeze
- McCarthy and Stoyer whipping the hapless pussies, errm, fat cats
- and a supporting cast of more than 500 clowns, plus an elephant and a donkey!!
- The magician, Hussein "My handicap is me" Obomber, may take a break from holidays to appear.
Roll up, roll up ... SNAP yer tickets up while they're still cheap!
The first chart is very interesting. It's the first time that I have seen Citi's change in earning revisions. The implied correlation seems quite strong. Pundits like Rosenberg and Schiller think that earnings will be revised downward, and this suggests a falling market. Probably right.
THe second chart is useless. The small, mutual fund investor has been getting out of MF's for years, and that investor is reactionary to market pullbacks, not causing them. Also, the mutual fund investors may be switching to ETF's, which are still growing. Finally, the effect of the small investor is neglibigle compared to pension funds, investment banks, endowments, and all of the other big money.
ECB and Yellend/Fed are ice-skating uphill again. But they got markets bid. How long? Who knows. I thinking the market will flush out hard till we get the Aug lows.
i'll put two joints on: bullshit
Shit... and what are you going to replace him with? Rommey and the GOP.... Obama and Rommey are two sides of the same coin.
Ron Paul, good luck with that one. (and I like RP).
For Romeny to win he has to get the vote of women, which means he will have to soften his stance on the "GOP war on women", not going to happen,
Have you read the Paul Ryan bill that passed the House.... "if the illness doesn't kill us, the cure will".....
Impeach Obama...... ROTFLMAO
I have difficulty taking Salon seriously on anything, but Romney has an even bigger problem then women; he is going to struggle getting votes among right wing white males. His support is centered in areas the repubs arent going to get anyhow, and a growing number on the right outside those areas are compeletely sick of the gutless and useless Romney/Dole/McCain/Bush establishment types. He is going to get creamed.
And I have difficulty taking seriously any poster who doesn't know the difference between the adverb "then" and the comparative "than".
Narrarated by Shawn Stone.
John Williams, of Shadowstats, notes that manipulated government statistics are not changing the fact that the true SGS Unemployment Measure now sits at a staggering 22.2%. Williams also demonstrates that despite the hype from Wall Street about a recovery, parts of the economy remain collapsed. Here is what Williams had to say about the situation: "Adding the SGS estimate of excluded long-term discouraged workers back into the total unemployed and labor force, unemployment—more in line with common experience as estimated by the SGS-Alternate Unemployment Measure—notched lower to 22.2% in March from 22.4% in February."
Sounds about right.
I want to place a bet that someone will throw a few gallons of petrol over Bernanke and set the fucker on fire before 2014!

Top 15 Reward Credit Cards
Posted By Jim On 01/15/2008 @ 1:59 pm In Credit | 5 Comments
Liz Pulliam Weston of MSN Money asked five credit card industry experts (basically representatives of companies that run credit card websites) and a frequent flier guru for their favorite cards in one of three categories: travel programs, cash-back programs, and savings programs. Travel programs are those cards that offer miles and upgrades and perfect for those with a lot of travel each year. The cash-back programs are, as you would expect, those cards that offer the best cash-back rebate. Finally, the savings programs are those cards that give you savings towards something, instead of straight cash, such as for a house, a car, or even directly into a brokerage account.
One trend you'll see is that all of the winning cards are American Express! Is this some kind of conspiracy? Hardly. American Express is less widely accepted because they have higher merchant fees. The higher fees means that they're able to offer higher reward earn rates because their profits are better. So, in each category you'll see an American Express card winning out.
The winner of this category was the Starwood American Express card [3], a card on my list of $100 credit card signup deals [4] (you get 10,000 points after your first purchase). Number two was the Diners Club MasterCard followed by American Airlines AAdvantage® MasterCard, United Mileage Plus Visa, and Citi PremierPass Elite MasterCard [5] as honorable mentions. It's tops because of its flexible points program and it's higher than average earn rate; which is around 1.25% if you convert things the right way. You earn a point for each dollar spent and you get 5,000 bonus points for every 20,000 points you spend, which is how you get to the 1.25% earn rate (.25% over the competition). The article lists two very important drawbacks: United, in an attempt to force you to use their card, charges twice as many points as its competitors, and, the typical limitation of AMEX card acceptance in general (less widely accepted because of their higher fees).
The winner of this category was the American Express Blue Cash with Chase Freedom® Visa taking second and the Citi Professional Cash MasterCard and Discover Motiva [6] earning honorable mentions. AMEX Blue took top honors because of it offers 5% cash-back on everyday purchases and 1.5% everywhere else (on its highest tier). It also does not have an annual cap on rewards. This makes it good for high spenders but they recommend trying out the Chase Freedom(SM) Visa.
I thought this category was a little forced but a Fidelity Investments 529 College Rewards American Express wins out followed second by the Citi UPromise MasterCard. Citi Home Rebate Platinum Select MasterCard, GM Flexible Earnings MasterCard, and the NestEggz Visa received honorable mentions. So, why the Fidelity card? It offers 1.5% rebates and can supplement a 529 plan automatically every 50 points you earn. I'm not entirely sure why I wouldn't get a cash-back card instead, but I suppose it "forces" some 529 saving (in the same way that throwing loose change in a jar is saving).
Personally, I think that you want to always go the route of cash-back. Getting rewards and points and everything is nice, but that just means it's harder for that money to come back to you. With points, you have to spend it on something in the catalog at the exchange rate they dictate. With cash, you do whatever you want. Also, I think having multiple cards (a max of three) is the best way to go because some cards offer better cashback on different categories. For example, I use a Citi mtvU card [7] whenever I eat in restaurants because it offers 5% cash-back and then I use an American Express Costco TrueEarnings [8] on travel and everything else (3% and 1%). Lastly, we use a Citi CashReturns card to float the purchases for our wedding [9] because it's offering 5% cashback on everything for three months! Using different cards offers you different earn rates so you can match up the peaks.

With just 3 laps to go, the strategy that Max, Lu (my dogs in the basket) & I came up with to win the 2013 USA Pro Challenge Stage 7 in Denver is working out perfectly. Here we are nestled right between the race leader, Tejay van Garderen (yellow jersey) and Peter Sagan (green jersey), my legs were feeling great and the beers in the trailer cooler were icy cold. But alas, it wasn't to be for 2013. Tejay would take the overall victory, and Peter would win the stage in the last few meters of the final sprint as well as the overall Sprinters Jersey.
We've got your numbers Tejay & Peter, just wait until next year!

New technologies change the face of plastic surgery
More doctors and patients are turning to less invasive methods
Several years ago, many of Dr. Robert Rey's plastic surgery procedures involved making incisions in the body, shoving and jabbing liposuction tools in and out of fleshy areas and inserting butt or breast implants into patients.
Now, the Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon said, those days are over, largely because of less invasive plastic surgery methods.
"Why would a field that makes you pretty cut you the most?" asked Rey, whose work was documented on the E! reality series "Dr. 90210."
Because of technology, the economic crisis and world market changes, Rey said he's seen a shift in patients having plastic surgery. Gone are the days where patients come in for multiple, unnecessary, invasive treatments.
And, he said the facial plastic surgery has dropped in the last two years largely because of the high cost. Now, plastic surgery patients often get procedures they need to boost self-esteem, are less invasive and are more moderately priced, he said.
Still, warns Robert Singer, a board-certified plastic surgeon who's in private practice in La Jolla and served as president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, while non-invasive cosmetic procedures are perceived as safer, patients must keep in mind that these are still medical procedures, and they must do their homework when choosing a doctor. They should also have realistic expectations, he said.
"Everybody is looking for the holy grail," Singer said. "Everybody is looking for no down time, limited cost, maximum results. In many things ... you don't get major improvement from minor procedures."
He said patients should understand that several sessions may be needed to achieve results and the change may not be as dramatic as a facelift or liposuction.
Today's surgeries range from facial fillers to combat wrinkles to ultrasound frequency to contour body fat.
For instance, Dr. Roy David, medical director at the Aesthetic Center of La Jolla and a specialist in facial plastic surgery, said he does a lot of minimally invasive procedures.
One of the most popular for the face is Exciis, which he said uses radio frequency to tighten skin and melt fat on the face, neck, stomach, love handles, hips, legs or eye area, "anywhere for loose, crinkly skin."
He said the treatment is very safe, costs $300 to $500 per session and takes less than 30 minutes per session. While the procedure might be good for younger patients who "want to maintain tightness," he said the treatment is "not as dramatic as a facelift."
David also uses Ultherapy, which involves ultrasound and allows the doctor to see where the waves are hitting under the skin. He said the procedure is FDA-approved and treats the whole face and neck by tightening and creating collagen in the face. The treatment takes about an hour, comes with a $1,000 to $3,500 price tag and, he said, it can "compete with a facelift."
"It's the best you can get without cutting," he said.
Even with lasers and other non-invasive procedures available, fillers such as Botox remain one of the most popular treatments for the face.
Dr. Donald Kress, an assistant professor of surgery at the Penn State School of Medicine and author of the book "Trust Me, I'm a Plastic Surgeon," said patients should be cautious with fillers.
He said some patients may develop an allergy to Botox and their bodies "deactivate it before it has the chance to work." On the other hand, he said patients should avoid overdone amounts that block expression or movement.
Kress said it's important to use fillers with hyaluronic acid, which lasts six to nine months and allows patients to "get a lot of mileage out of a little filler."

Reviewer: bds, 75 or over on Treatment for 10 years or more (Patient)
Ease of Use
Just like Laura (below), generic rizatriptan does nothing for my migraines and it's a challenge (putting it mildly) to open the individual packages w/o scissors. I tried it soon after it became available as an alternative to Maxalt, but I now use only Maxalt. It works, but not as fast or effective as zolmitriptan (generic Zomig).
Reviewer: 35-44 Female on Treatment for 1 to 6 months (Patient)
Ease of Use
I have taken maxalt for years and it works very well. I have been disappointed with rizatriptan. It doesn't seem to work as well for me. I'll be asking my dr to go back to maxalt.

This tablet works for me in just over an hour. If not taken, the migraine becomes severe.

My migraine was worse. I felt nauseous . Knocked me out. Felt a little better when i woke up but not much and I think it was just because I rested. Not worth it for me. Not taking this again.

Ten years ago, the USS Cole was bombed off the coast of Yemen, killing seventeen U.S. soldiers and injuring 39 others. Since then, the situation in Yemen has deteriorated and the country is now on the brink of collapse. Last year's failed Christmas day attack on a flight headed for Detroit and the presence of notorious U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who calls for deadly strikes on the United States from his place of refuge in the country, have highlighted the terrorist threat coming from Yemen.
Christopher Boucek analyzes al-Qaeda's presence in Yemen and what the United States can do to contain the threat. Boucek argues that al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is now more dangerous than the central leadership hiding in South Asia—there is no greater threat to U.S. national security. Washington must take a balanced approach and rely on both short-term counterterrorism operations and long-term development assistance; the current emphasis on hard security only makes matters worse.
Faced with multiple internal conflicts, economic meltdown, and poor governance, Yemen is close to state failure. As Yemen's problems get worse, the threat of terrorism grows. And the worsening internal conditions create a near perfect haven for terrorists to plot, plan, train for, and mount domestic, regional, and international attacks.
Al-Qaeda affiliates in Saudi Arabia and Yemen officially merged in January 2009 and formed al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The new group has been successful in exploiting local grievances and branding itself internationally as an active and successful al-Qaeda outfit. AQAP is now attracting people to train for and participate in jihad. The group's ability to frame the situation in Yemen and cast U.S. military assistance and counterterrorism strikes as an American occupation has drawn foreign terrorists to Yemen. Its actions have some looking at AQAP as the most viable al-Qaeda organization today.
AQAP is an organization that says what it wants to do and then finds a way to do it. The group repeatedly emphasizes its global ambitions and desire to hit Western targets, and has demonstrated the ability to follow through on its threats. Even when things don't work out in its favor, it tries again—a dangerous quality. The most recent example of this is the attack on the British diplomatic convoy in Sana'a. The fear is that it is only a matter of time before AQAP is able to hit inside the United States.
The threat coming out of Yemen is now greater than the one coming from al-Qaeda's central leadership in South Asia. Other states of concern—from Afghanistan to Pakistan to Somalia—do not pose as immediate a threat to the United States as Yemen does. AQAP is a more pressing concern for U.S. national security as the group is agile and opportunistic—actively looking for openings to inflict harm around the world.
Yemen is next door to the world's largest oil producer and strategically wedged between the Horn of Africa and other countries in the Arabian Peninsula. The country has a long history of extremism, political violence, and terrorism. There was a sizable number of Yemenis who fought in Afghanistan against the Soviet occupation and Yemenis made up the second largest group in al-Qaeda training camps before 9/11.
Many ominous signs point to the severity of the threat out of Yemen, from the first al-Qaeda attack on a U.S. target occurring in Yemen in 1992, the USS Cole bombing in 2000, and the attempted strike on the Detroit-bound plane in December of 2009. The Christmas day plot was the first al-Qaeda attempt on a domestic U.S. target that wasn't planned in South Asia. And many of the recent domestic schemes targeting the United States can be linked to or have a connection with Yemen.
While al-Qaeda's central leaders are faced with an aggressive drone campaign in Pakistan and a large U.S. military presence in Afghanistan, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is relatively free to operate in Yemen's under-governed spaces. The group is taking advantage of Yemen's instability and the absence of central government authority in significant portions of the country.
It is estimated that there are several hundred al-Qaeda members in Yemen, including Yemenis, Saudis, and other foreigners. While the size sounds small, AQAP's strength is clear. Primarily targeting the Yemeni security services, energy infrastructure, and foreigners, AQAP attacks in Yemen have steadily increased in recent years.
According to some estimates there have been over 30 attacks this year alone. AQAP has attacked the U.S. embassy twice, killed tourists from Belgium, South Korea, and Spain, and attempted to assassinate both the British ambassador and the deputy chief of mission. The situation actually looks better than it really is as there are not too many obvious American targets to hit in Yemen.
The group has also carried out operations in the region. AQAP has tried to assassinate Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the Saudi counterterrorism chief, on several occasions. It's clear that AQAP is determined to mount global strikes.
One of the biggest problems in Yemen is the ever expanding recruiting pool of under-educated and under-employed men. Every day there are more men that can be recruited to carry out AQAP's ambitions. A recent recruitment video focused on corruption and the failings of the Yemeni government, as opposed to international jihad. This is an issue that plays well with a Yemeni audience and points to AQAP's success in exploiting local grievances.
AQAP clearly learned from its mistakes in Saudi Arabia and fine-tuned its messages to resonate with the local population. The group is careful to justify its actions and is discerning when choosing domestic targets to avoid deliberately hurting civilians.
While AQAP appears to have modeled itself on the central group, it is autonomous from leaders in South Asia. AQAP's leader Naser al-Wuhayshi fought in Afghanistan alongside Osama bin Laden and Wuhayshi's deputy Said Ali al-Shihri was also in Afghanistan before being captured and sent to Guantanamo. But despite the personal links, the groups operate separately and independently.
AQAP doesn't view itself as subservient to the original group but increasingly as equal to the central leadership. They do not wait for direction or approval from the core group. It's notable and important that when recruits join al-Qaeda they swear allegiance to al-Qaeda and bin Laden. As Gregory Johnsen has noted, when joining AQAP, they swear allegiance to Wuhayshi—and not to al-Qaeda or bin Laden.
Terrorism is actually the least of Yemen's problems. Terrorism itself is not going to destroy Yemen, it's the confluence of multiple crises that puts Yemen in danger. Besides the resurgent al-Qaeda organization, the country faces an ongoing civil war in the north, an increasingly violent secessionist movement in the south, inadequate governance, economic ruin, and is quickly running out of water. Eighty percent of violence in Yemen is in some way connected to disputes over access to water.
While weak states around the world face similar issues, Yemen is dealing with all of them at the same time. And the government doesn't have the capacity to address these problems. Al-Qaeda thrives in the areas that lack state control and is fueled by the government's failure to deal with the root causes of the instability. Terrorism is in part the manifestation of the other problems.
The current emphasis on hard security is backwards—it will actually increase the threat of terrorism out of Yemen. Purely focusing on counterterrorism and security operations inflames grievances and plays into AQAP's hands. While Western security assistance and clandestine counterterrorism operations should clearly play a role, this type of support must be balanced with long-term development assistance that improves the livelihoods of Yemenis and builds the capacity and legitimacy of the Yemeni government.
The international donor community needs to be better coordinated. Each donor now has its own policies and agenda, but Yemen's problems should be divvied up among them. While the international community needs to be realistic and not expect to solve all of Yemen's problems, it needs to immediately improve its coordination to contain the threat. Outside support can help improve the legal system, counterterrorism laws, prison system, and the capabilities of police and intelligence units. Additionally, donors can support land reform, water conservation, education, and efforts to reduce corruption.
By devoting an estimated $2 billion a year, Saudi Arabia is Yemen's largest donor—by far—so it needs to be included in any Western plans. Saudi Arabia also has the most at stake as it will receive the brunt of any negative aspects that spread beyond Yemen's borders. Yemen's most important relationship is with Saudi Arabia and Sana'a listens to what Riyadh says. This means that if Saudi Arabia is not included and made part of the solution, outside efforts are bound to fail.
Fears of government corruption have caused some to question the potential improvement that outside development assistance can buy. But the problems are so severe that even the Yemeni government has said that international donors are welcome to fund specific efforts and bypass government hands. The international community is stuck with the Yemeni government and the alternatives are even worse, but coordinated and targeted support can help improve governance and push institutions to improve.
Given the strategic importance of Yemen, the United States should appoint a special representative to coordinate U.S. policy on Yemen. The country's problems are too important to ignore—Yemen's problems are U.S. problems too.

To advance their cause, 18th and 19th century opponents of slavery employed every available literary form: fiction and poetry, essay and autobiography, sermons, pamphlets, speeches, hymns ... even children's literature.
Historian James G. Basker examines these early abolitionist writings in a discussion of his new book American Antislavery Writings: Colonial Beginnings to Emancipationon Tuesday, April 2, 2013, at 6 p.m. at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St.
Basker's is the first anthology to take the full measure of a body of writing that spanned nearly 200 years and embraced writers black and white, male and female.
During the colonial era thinkers like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, and Phillis Wheatley composed original, even revolutionary, refutations of slavery.
In the 19th century the anti-slavery movement became even more varied with the impassioned rhetoric of Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison; the fiction of Harriet Beecher Stowe (Uncle Tom's Cabin) and Louisa May Alcott; memoirs of former slaves; protest poems by John Greenleaf Whittier, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Lydia Sigourney; anonymous editorials, and speeches by statesmen like Charles Sumner and Abraham Lincoln.
Basker is the Richard Gilder Professor of Literary History at Barnard College and president of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History [1]. Among his books are Amazing Grace: An Anthology of Poems about Slavery [2] and Early American Abolitionists.
Major funding for programs at the Kansas City Public Library is provided by a generous grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
Admission is free. A 6 p.m. reception precedes the event. RSVP at kclibrary.org or call 816.701.3407. Free parking is available at the Library District Parking Garage at 10th & Baltimore.

|Rector leads WP FFA at Livestock Judging
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 23 October 2014 15:55
By Diane Stamm
The Wauneta Breeze
Wauneta-Palisade junior Cameo Rector led the school's FFA team in Livestock Judging at Southern Valley Saturday.
The senior team of Tryssta Duvel, Stephanie Acosta and Rector finished fifth. Most teams had at least four members, with the top four scores counting towards the team score.
Rector was fourth out of 34 participants.
Each student judged breeding does, ewes, gilts and heifers; feedlot steers; and market hogs, lambs and goats. After looking over the animals, each member had 20 minutes to prepare for oral reasoning in front of judges.
The junior team was composed of Reagan Skow, Cash Yearous, Mike Lovell, Tyler Davis, Jadyn Ingold and Matthew Knotts.
Evan Nordhausen and Dakota Ingold represented the junior high.
Skow finished 14th in the junior division. She was four points away from a top 10 finish. The top 20 was separated by 25 points.
FFA sponsor Marilyn Houdek said the event provided good practice for the kids who were attending their first contest.
The next FFA event will be districts on Nov. 13.

I have already consulted a lawyer re filing bankruptcy, but he told me that because I receive nothing but a SS Disability Check, that I was judgement proof. However, he didn't tell me if I am supposed to file this with the court, or just let the creditors figure it out for themselves? Surely, there is some form or process I must go through to be considered judgement proof. My income is less than $1000/mo.
What should I do?

KOLKATA: The telecom department has asked the Department of Northeastern Region (DoNER) to reimburse satellite bandwidth charges paid by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd to Antrix Corp for maintaining telecom coverage in the Northeast during the 12th Plan, according to an internal note seen by ET.
At present, BSNL pays hefty satellite bandwidth charges annually to Antrix — the commercial & marketing arm of Indian Space Research Organisation ( Isro) — for ensuring telecom coverage in the Northeast. In 2012-13 and 2013-14, BSNL shelled out nearly Rs 95 crore.

Perhaps it is worth stressing, also, that those interested in deep and rapid change not spend too much time in traditional academic programs which tend, imo, to trail considerably the advanced work on-the-ground in ecovillages, some intentional communities and nonprofit organizations committed to manifesting and publicly demonstrating the necessary and integrated changes/transitions: socially, economically and ecologically. If you are interested in talking with other students in the program, I believe there may be a few on these listserves and/or contact Gaia University. If there is a group of you that want to consider starting a GU Regional Center in LA and want to use the resources of the CRSP Institute for Urban Ecovillage for doing that, please begin to organize yourselves, and let the dialog begin. Of course this type of program is not for everyone, and will not necessarily serve all the purposes some strive for in their higher education goals, but for people who do want to make a difference rapidly and deeply, are clear in their academic goals, and have a lot of self-starter initiative, are capable of earning while learning or have socked away enough money to subsist on for awhile, this is something to consider.

Need help for C++ programming
View Single Post
Go4Expert Member
I truly meant no disrespect and did not mean to leave the impression that I am not trying to understand all of this. The fact is, is that I have been going over this same program for over a week with very little help from my teacher. It is all starting to look the same and my head starts swimming everytime I look at it. Maybe I just need to delete it all and start over. I appreciate you trying to help and explain things, but I didn't really understand the way that you went about it. Thank you for your help. Would you like to help me start it from the beginning again?

Whitewater Rafting on the Pacuare
Costa Rica - Turtles and Rainforest
Our guide, who would only answer to "Henry," just made the trip...excellent command of the raft, great direction, and a wonderful sense of humor. We christened our raft crew "Los Viejos," "the Old Ones," since we and the two guys who joined us were the only people over thirty, and we ruled!
We got about 15 minutes of instruction from Henry on how to navigate when passing through the rapids. Imagine that you're in an inflatable raft and you're in a washing machine at high speed, and you get something of the picture. We practiced getting in and out of the water in case we got overturned or otherwise thrown free of the raft.
Then we were off. Every few minutes, we hit rapids, had a thrill ride through them, and a few hundred meters of relatively calm waters in between. We were the only group that never overturned or lost anyone overboard, for which I credit Henry's expert guidance and our seasoned experience (that would be the 15 minutes I referred to above).
[Photo 23: Whitewater Rafting on the Pacuare River]
Halfway down the river, we all landed, and the staff turned two boats over and spread out a beautiful lunch for us all, served on the boat bottoms.
[Photo 24: Lunch on the Pacuare]
One glorious sight will be in my memory forever: in a calm stretch between rapids, vegetation-covered canyon walls stretched up hundreds of feet on either side. A waterfall cascaded into the river on the right...and to the left, the breeze shook loose some leaves from a tree, all deep yellow. They were hit by the blazing noontime sun, glowing a brilliant gold, and for a moment it was raining gold!
Back at the Exploradores base, we all showered, enjoyed a local beer, and thanked Henry for a great trip before being driven back to Le Bergerac. Dinner at L'Isle de France was superb, and we were sad to leave the next morning.

Angiostrongylus Cantonensis Infection
Angiostrongylus Cantonensis is a parasite, or worm, found in rats. Infected rats pass immature forms of the worm in their feces. Snails and slugs get infected by eating infected rat feces. The young forms of the parasite mature in snails and slugs but do not become adult worms. The life cycle of the parasite comes full circle when rats eat infected snails or slugs and the immature parasites become adult worms. Most of the known cases of infection in people have occurred in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. Some cases have occurred in other areas, such as in the Caribbean.
People can get infected under unusual circumstances. However, even if infected, most people recover fully without treatment.
Eating raw or undercooked snails or slugs that are infected with the parasite. In some cultures, snails are commonly eaten.
Children can be infected by swallowing snails "on a dare."
Accidentally eating raw produce that contains a small snail or slug or part of one.
Eating raw or undercooked freshwater prawns, crabs, or frogs.
Some infected people do not have any symptoms, or have only mild symptoms that do not last very long.
Sometimes the infection causes a rare type of meningitis (eosinophilic meningitis).
The symptoms can include headache, stiff neck, tingling, or painful feelings in the skin, low-grade fever, nausea, and vomiting.
Your caregiver will ask you about any symptoms, exposures to snails and slugs, and foreign travel you've had. You might be given routine blood tests, special blood tests to look for an immune response to the parasite, and tests for meningitis.
Usually not. The parasite dies over time, even without treatment. Even people who develop eosinophilic meningitis usually do not need antibiotics.
Sometimes the symptoms of the infection last for several weeks or months, while the body's immune system responds to the dying parasites.
The most common types of treatment are for the symptoms of the infection (such as pain medication for headache) rather than for the infection itself.
Patients with severe cases of meningitis may benefit from some other types of treatment.
Do not eat raw or undercooked snails or slugs.
If you handle snails or slugs, wear gloves and wash your hands.
Always remember to thoroughly wash fresh produce.

PhDork recently shared with us her teeth-gnashing, soul-crushing experience shopping for a decent bathing suit. I felt her pain. I really did. And I was immediately reminded of the second most soul-crushing shopping experience: jeans shopping. If bathing-suit shopping is Hell, jeans shopping is Purgatory–one long slog meant to punish us for all our sins, primarily for the sin of being a woman.
My deep and abiding hatred of jeans shopping began at age 12, when I hit puberty and my hips spread so fast that at 34 I still have the whited-out stretch marks caused by their rapid growth. I went from boyish stick figure to 38 inches of curvaceous booty practically overnight. That August, when MamaSharper took me back-to-school shopping, I was stuck in the dressing room, sweating and tugging as I tried to pull regular girls' jeans over my suddenly ample ass. This was also in the bad old days of high-waisted "mom jeans," so when jeans didn't fit, they REALLY didn't fit.
Post-puberty, I am–as Sir Mix-A-Lot eloquently put it–"little in the middle but she got much back." Anything big enough for my hips is too big for my waist. My waist fits "petite" jeans, but petite pants ride up on me like clamdiggers. So whatever pair of jeans you hand me, I'm going to feel like a freak when they fit one part of me but not the others.
For most of middle school, while I was adjusting to my new body, I wore–God help me–stirrup pants. At least back then they were in style, although I cringe to look at photos from that time. With the stirrups, nothing was too tight or grabby on my hips or crotch, or too loose in the waist. Throw on a Benetton rolled-neck sweater on top and you've got yourself a halfway decent outfit. Or so I thought.
But by high school the stirrups were out, and I was back in…the dressing room, that is. What is it about dressing rooms that arouses such fear and loathing in our feminine souls? Is it the ugly florescent lighting that gives us jaundice and highlights every wrinkle, pimple or stray hair on our faces? Is is the mirrors, which–fun house-like–always seem to make us look squatter and stumpier and thicker around the middle than we actually are? And why did every dressing room of my youth seem to have a stray, foot-attacking pin or two embedded in the carpet? Ladies, if there is a hell, I'm convinced it's a department store dressing room.
Besides the shitty surroundings, I was inevitably exhausted after trying on piles of jeans. It's actually a good cardio workout to pull them on and off and wriggle and tug and zip and unzip the damn things. And I confess, I was always woefully unaware of the different brands and styles and cuts. I basically wore Levis, because they were on the cheap side and I could generally find them in a cut that, while not necessarily stylish, wasn't too baggy and didn't give me camel-toe. And once I got a wearable pair of jeans, baby, I wore those suckers out. Fortunately, denim is some durable shit, because I had jeans that I wore for YEARS, and only discarded when they actually started coming apart at the seams.* Anything to avoid going back into that dressing room.
This past year, faced with the grim prospect of having to buy new jeans, I took BFF Anne with me to Bloomingdales. Anne is a Southern belle and fashionista who always looks effortlessly put-together in a way I can never hope to achieve. I begged her to style me, especially in the ass-wear department. The trip was a roaring success; Anne hit the jeans section like a woman on a mission. She knew all the styles and cuts, whereas I couldn't tell a pair of Calvin Kleins from a pair of Chip and Pepper. I was kind of disappointed they didn't have my old standby Levis, but when I said so, Anne gave me a withering look and handed me a pair of Paige jeans. They fit great on the first try. They were followed by several pairs of Theory dress pants, which also made my butt look great. Thank God for Anne, is all I can say. It was the first relatively non-painful jeans shopping experience that I can remember.
When I talk with my male friends and mention the evil that is jeans shopping, they all look at me kind of blankly. Except for a minority of clotheshorses–usually a gay minority–most men tell me they just try some jeans on and buy the ones that don't squash their junk or fall down when they walk. The whole "dressing room as the Ninth Ring of Inferno" phenomenon seems to have passed them by. Is it because they don't have hips and therefore things just fit better? Or because men are exempt from so much of the self-inflicted body shaming that plagues women?
So if your ass is chapped–often literally–by the whole experience of shopping for jeans, join the sisterhood. I'm convinced that if women ruled the world, all pants would be elastic-waisted (or maybe drawstring) made of a comfortable blend of knit and stretch fabric. And we would never, ever, have to go into a dressing room to buy them.
*With a couple spoonfuls of Mrs. Stewart's bluing, you can easily revive the color on a faded out pair of jeans, if you're so inclined.

Yes, I know he's had his problems in the past, but at least the man's got a sense of humor on him. He recently spoke with W Magazine, and gave his run-down on the whole Mel Gibson anti-Semitic fiasco:
"What occurred, in my estimation, was that somebody was caught in the act of being an imperfect human being." As for all the Gibson haters in Tinseltown, Downey smirked, "I really didn't know that we had 8 million morally sound people in this town. Wow, I really didn't know that. I guess I've been dining at the Ivy with, like, living saints."
Oh Hollywood. So hypocritical, but still so much fun. Kind of like me.

5 Children's Illustrators to Check Out
One of the best parts of running Storypanda is communicating with top children's illustrators. There are some very extremely talented people doing excellent work. Often I find myself at night just flipping through their portfolios and being truly inspired. For the other dad's wanting to re-discover the child inside them while at the same showing their kids there is more than Dora The Explorer, here are 5 illustrators that you should check out:
Dave Mottram: Dave's illustrations cover a wide range. You'll see sketches for more realistic looking dogs and dinosaurs; you'll see something inspired by 1940 cartoons; and then he'll give a heartwarming picture of a Mexican Lucha Libre wrestling family.
Pintachan: Pintachan's work will bring a smile to your face. The bright colors, round faces, big eyes. No wonder my kids love his stuff. He does original drawings but also has takes on classic characters. For you 80's kids, you'll dig his Link, Mario and Pac-Man.
Karen Dessire: Karen's Happy Robot Town, is a brand dedicated to creating a happy visual experience, and that's what it does. Her monsters are awesome and they look even better when they are produced on packaging.
Doreen Marts: Every time I look at something Doreen has created, I get a sense that it's her underneath each character. Whether it's an illustration of a panda bear, fairy, princess, woman, or a child, each one seems to say "Hey it's me, Doreen!".
Dan Woodger: Each of Dan's full prints has a lot going on. Like The Simpsons, you want to look at every character to see what they are doing. It's clear he's not just putting people there for no reason. There is a hidden story, joke or conversation going on.
If there are some illustrators that you really like, don't hesitate to send me a link.

Featured Sessions at the 2014 SXSW Interactive Festival showcase some of the world's most innovative thinkers. Today's installment of the Featured Session Feature focuses on Dmitry Grishin of Grishin Robotics. At SXSW, catch his session "Consumer Robots Everywhere: The Next Big Thing" session on Saturday afternoon, March 8 at 12:30 pm.
Once a big player in the fledgling Russian Internet scene, Dmitry Grishin now hopes to make the same impact in the field of robotics. He is perhaps best known as the co-founder of Mail.ru, a Russian Internet corporation that regularly reaches approximately 86% of all Russian Internet users. Grishin also contributed heavily to "Runet", Russia's Internet presence, in its early days. He is currently the Chairman and CEO of Mail.ru and the founder of the investment company Grishin Robotics.
Formerly known as Port.ru, Mail.ru has one of the largest reaches of any site in the largest European Internet market, measured by number of users. Mail.Ru Group offers a variety of communication products and services, including email, social networks, instant messaging, search, e-commerce, and gaming. In 2005, Mail.ru had over 30 million users with over 25 million emails sent each day. In 2010, Mail.ru's IPO was valued at more than $5 billion. As of 2014, Mail.ru has a global Alexa rank of 37, and a rank of 5 in Russia.
Grishin was born on a Russian missile base in the Soviet Union, surrounded by engineers and programmers. His father designed radar systems for the MiG-29 fighter, and from a young age Grishin remembers being fascinated by robots. When the former Soviet Union collapsed, Grishin studied programming at the Moscow State Technical University. By the time he was 20, he was working remotely from his student hostel as a project manager for a Florida-based digital design company. Soon afterward he was working at Molotok.ru, a "Russian eBay." Grishin proved incredibly resourceful, and when Molotok was bought by Yuri Milner, the billionaire Russian financier, he made Grishin the CEO of his new Web conglomerate, Mail.ru Group. Grishin was 24.
Under Grishin's leadership, Mail.ru has become one of the most successful Russian Web corporations, and has been called "Russia's Yahoo," referring to its wide pop-culture appeal. "If you watch the performance of the company, then you'd say he's an innovative visionary who built well on the business model," says investment banker Terry Schallich, who helped manage Mail.ru's IPO.
But Grishin is interested in more than just the online world. In 2012 he decided to pursue his childhood dream and longtime passion by launching Grishin Robotics, a venture firm with a focus on personal robotics. He invested $25 million, or 15% of his net worth, into the firm, and has already taken a number of newcomers in the robotics industry under his wing, including DoubleRobotics and RobotAppstore.
"There's something childlike about Grishin's interest in robotics," says MIT Technology Review reporter Antonio Regalado. "The holdup to [his] visions has been technology. Now, with inexpensive sensors and software, he thinks robots - like email in Russia a decade ago - are ready for mass consumer markets."
Register now to be part of the 2014 SXSW Interactive Festival and to attend the "Consumer Robots Everywhere: The Next Big Thing" session on Saturday, March 8.

A pair of 1957 Mercury Meteors, owned by Cheney's Tyler and Marcie Watson, and a 1964 Mercury owned by Rathdrum, Idaho's Jerry Flowers were some of the vehicles taking part a May 18 show presented by Cheney's new car club, Stars Stripes, Boots and Spurs.
Jay and Sherrie McNall have been pretty involved the last four years in supporting and organizing the Cheney Junior Rodeo and have annually battled the same recurring question: How to raise money to support the rodeo. Not long ago the couple was sitting around asking that question when an idea came to them.
"Sherrie loves rodeo, and I love classic cars," Jay McNall said. "We were sitting, looking at each other and started drawing pictures and we came up with a logo."
That logo is for Cheney's new car club, Stars Stripes, Boots and Spurs car club, an organization whose main function is to he...

A handsome set of forty wooden letters with Eric Carle's colorful patterns on one side and magnetic backing on the reverse. Stored in a snap-shut container that is shaped like a milk carton, this can be used for knowing and naming the letters games as well as sound games and spelling. There is also a lower case set
Learning letter names and sounds just got to be more playful with these magnetic letters. Introduce the letters of their name first.Declare today with a single letter and feature things to eat that day that start with that sound. Go on a hunt for other things in the house that start with that sound. Bake cookies in that shape.
Age: Preschool, Early School Years. Award Year: 2013. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
Introduce preschoolers to fractions in a playful way with this handsome wooden puzzle. Whole, halves, thirds, and quarters are put together on this slightly curved two-sided puzzle board. One side features classic geometric shapes; the reverse invites exploration of how to use the shapes in new ways.
SNAP: A good concrete way to reinforce fractions. To follow up: Declare a day as Halves Day... use sandwiches cut in halves, fruit cut in halves, etc. Declare another day as Quarters Day and serve foods cut to match.

A cleverly designed paint box with 12 bright opaque watercolors (gouaches)and a tube of Chinese white paint. A larger set of 24 colors is also available. The paint tablets can be lifted out of the pan and arranged as one wishes. The lid of the pan becomes a palette for mixing colors and is easy to rinse off. Brushes store in the bux, though they do not come with this set. A step above the usual watercolor sets for children.
SNAP You don't need to introduce all the colors at once with this clever pan of paints. Gradually add other colors once your child gets the idea of how to use a few colors without getting them saturated. using the brush offers more freedom than a pencil and the colors are pleasing. This is a pleasing way to develop eye hand control and to explore the magic of mixing colors.
Age: Early School Years, Later School Years, Tweens. Award Year: 2013. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
For budding scientists, here is a 12-piece kit with see through rooting trays, pots, observation jar with vented lid, watering can, trowel, plant markers and best of all--10 on-the-mark activity cards that invite kids to grow a variety of plants. Use found materials, like the top of a pineapple, radishes, carrots, popping corn kernels, and a clove of garlic. For other experiments, bring home seeds for beans and chives. The round observation jar with a lid can become a small terrarium with plants found in the yard or park. The activity cards provide realistic gardening experiments that preschoolers can do with help from an adult or older sib. True, you could use many of the containers you own without the set, but this gives the process structure in a playful way. Hopefully you will do that, too. To enlarge the experiences, take photos as each experiment progresses to make a small personal log or simple personalized book of their growing experiments. Our tester "loved planting the seeds and labeling the various pots. He lso loved wtering his plants. Finally, there is a clear rooting tray and an observation jar included with the set, so he loved observing his plants take root and grow within the soil. He had never seen how roots grow and develop before so it was a new experience for him." They did report some things they thought were drawbacks: the set does not come with soil or seeds--so right from the start you need to buy things before you can start. The set also only comes with one observation jar even though there are five experiments that call for the observation jar. Our tester felt that the best part of the set were the in ten activity cards. They also gave Learning Resources high marks for having on line extension activities. 3 & up.
SNAP: This hands-on kit is an excellent set of activities that all children can enjoy on various levels. Involving children in the process is a very satisfying ongoing activity.
