ANIMAL KINGDOM – A small session of gate school was part of the Kentucky Derby winner's activities during a quiet Thursday morning at Fair Hill Training Center.
Trainer Graham Motion said the Team Valor International colt jogged a half-mile on the dirt track, stood in the starting gate for a while and then galloped about 1 ¼ miles. The morning exercise was done on the dirt because the gate is stationed on that track at the training facility 60 miles northeast of Pimlico. Motion said the colt is great around the gate, but it is standard procedure in his stable to send horses to the gate before they are scheduled to race.
Animal Kingdom will ship to Pimlico Saturday morning for the 136th running of the Preakness, which has a post time of 6:20 p.m. The colt won the Derby from post No. 16 in a field of 19 runners. Motion was pleased when he drew post No. 11 in the field of 14 for the Preakness.
"I couldn't be happier. I think it's great," Motion said. "That's what I would have hoped for. It would have been a shame to draw one of the really extreme positions, because then you feel like you're being compromised somewhat. That would be a shame."
With nine of the Preakness runners on the grounds at Pimlico, Motion said there were far fewer visitors at Fair Hill than on Wednesday when about two dozen members of the media watched the colt train.
"Yesterday was a frenzy," he said. "Today is much quieter."
Motion's Derby victory brought him an invitation to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the game between the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles Thursday night at Camden Yards. "It will be kind of cool," he said.
Motion said he attended many games at Camden Yards earlier in his career when his stable was based at Laurel Park, but hasn't been to the stadium since he moved his stable to Fair Hill in the early 2000s.
Chuckling, Motion said his baseball skills are "minimal."
"But anyone who has an 8-year-old at least has some idea of what they are doing," he said.
ASTROLOGY – As it turned out, the stars lined up for the A.P. Indy colt's appearance in the Preakness.
When sickness earlier this year affected his schedule, the Kentucky Derby was taken off the schedule of likely starts for the colt owned by Stonestreet Stable and George Bolton. His two races this season were seconds in the Sunland Derby and the Jerome.
"It was the equivalent of the flu in a human being. It was not a cold," Bolton said Thursday. "He was sick and we lost a month due to it. So we had to kind of backtrack.
"He had had five starts, so no one panicked about being kind of behind the eight-ball, but then it looked like he wasn't going to get the number of starts he needed to go to Churchill Downs, so it was a fairly easy decision to skip (the Derby) and do the Jerome with the Preakness as the goal.
"He ran well enough in the Jerome. He was pinned on the rail and lost a little ground going around the turn, it was very muddy, and he came flying at the end. They thought it was a good enough effort to keep going, not to backtrack, but to take another shot going forward with him. That's why we're here.
"This is a fun race and a lot of great horses, a lot of great stallions, win this race. It's easily got the prestige, in terms of that, that the Derby does."
Hall of Famer Mike Smith will ride Astrology, who is trained by Steve Asmussen.
CONCEALED IDENTITY – After breezing three furlongs in :36.20 seconds the previous morning, Linda Gaudet and Morris Bailey's Concealed Identity had a light training schedule at Bowie Race Course Thursday morning.
"He had a light day, because he worked yesterday. He jogged backwards to the gate. He stood in the gate. In fact, he stood in the gate at same time Norman Asbjornson was there. He jogged home with the pony. He's right on schedule," said Linda Gaudet, wife of trainer Eddie Gaudet.
Like the Kentucky Derby horses in the Preakness field, Concealed Identity will be returning to action with two weeks rest, having captured the Federico Tesio Stakes by two lengths at Pimlico on May 7.
"The two-week timetable is never ideal for a nice horse who just put in a big effort. But we thought the Tesio was probably an easier race than the allowance race," said Gaudet, whose colt won an allowance at Pimlico prior to the Tesio. "He won it pretty easily and came out of it great. When he started back training, he was just full of himself. That gave us the encouragement to move forward."
Sheldon Russell will ride Concealed Identity.
DANCE CITY – Sporting a new shorter haircut, trainer Todd Pletcher was upbeat about his lightly raced son of City Zip Thursday morning after sending the colt out for a 1 ¼-mile gallop over the sealed Pimlico surface, followed by an uneventful visit to the starting gate.
"Everything went smoothly," Pletcher said. "We're optimistic. The horse has always run well. He's always run competitively. Obviously, he's had a little bit of spacing between the races. He's trained well, and I think the Arkansas Derby has shown to be one of the key preps. I like the post position (8) and on paper I like the way the race shapes up."
Dance City has won two of four starts, finishing less than two lengths behind Arkansas Derby winner Archarcharch in his stakes debut at odds of nearly 30-1. Runner-up Nehro went on to run second in the Kentucky Derby.
"He's a horse that we've always had high hopes for," said Pletcher, who is looking for the final leg of a personal Triple Crown in the Preakness. "He showed us a lot in his training as a 2-year-old."
About the only thing different in the Preakness for Dance City will be rider Ramon Dominguez, many times a Maryland riding champion before he moved to New York. Pletcher said he believes the colt has enough pedigree on his dam's side (Pleasant Colony mare) to make a classic distance.
"He's the kind of horse that gives you the impression he'll improve as he matures physically and mentally," said Pletcher, who saddled Super Saver for a victory in last year's Derby and Rags to Riches for an historic win in the 2007 Belmont Stakes. "He's a very growthy, leggy kind of colt that has more speed than you would think by looking at him. We think he's kind of grown into himself finally and hope he's ready to run his best race."
Pletcher also reported that 2-year-old champion Uncle Mo, a scratch from the Kentucky Derby, is improving on the farm and has put on 30 pounds, but no timetable for a return to the races has been established from an as-yet undiagnosed digestive system ailment.
DIALED IN – Robert LaPenta's Florida Derby winner galloped 1 ½ miles under exercise rider Stacy Pryor Thursday morning after arriving at Pimlico from Churchill Downs on Wednesday afternoon.
The stretch-running son of Mineshaft finished eighth in the Kentucky Derby, but trainer Nick Zito has taken comfort in the fact that his colt was able to close from last in the field of 19 by running the last half-mile in just over 47 seconds.
"That usually wins," Zito said.
Unfortunately, for Dialed In and his Hall of Fame trainer, Shackleford was allowed to show the way while setting the slowest fractions for many years – which pretty much dashed his late-running colt's chance of winning.
"This is his style of running. He loves what he's doing and we're not going to change it. We just have to hope for a decent pace, just a normal pace," Zito said. "When I say a normal pace, I mean not :48 and 1:13."
Dialed In will be running for a $5.5 million bonus in Saturday's Preakness Stakes. The Holy Bull (G3) and Florida Derby (G1) winner is the only horse in the field for the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown eligible for the top prize of the Preakness 5.5, a bonus series offered by MI Developments. Should he win the Preakness, he would earn a $5 million bonus for his owner and $500,000 for his trainer.
FLASHPOINT – Peachtree Stable's roan son of Pomeroy got his first glimpse of Pimlico Thursday morning after flying in from Kentucky the day before, galloping over the sealed track following several weeks of exercise over the Polytrack at Keeneland.
"He just got a little feel for the track," said trainer Wesley Ward, who is making back-to-back Preakness appearances after his Pleasant Prince finished out of the money in 2010. "It's definitely got tight turns, so I really do believe it favors speed, and that's an advantage to us."
Flashpoint has not been worse than third at the midway point of any of his three starts, winning the first two sprinting before settling for fourth money in the Florida Derby in his two-turn debut. Ward took over the training of Flashpoint from Richard Dutrow following the Florida Derby.
Ward said he is coming into this race with a little more confidence than last year, although he is still getting to know the colt.
"The best horse is going to win most of the time, but this race historically has had an advantage to horses that kind of get the rail and race forwardly," he said.
After winning the seven-furlong Hutcheson at Gulfstream Park in 1:22 and going 1:09 3/5 in his six-furlong debut at Aqueduct, Flashpoint seems destined to be one of the pace factors here. His ability to negotiate the Preakness distance of 1 3/16 miles and his lack of experience with only three starts are question marks.
"Mr. (John) Fort gave me a mission to get him ready for the Preakness, and that's what we've done," Ward said. "Any trainer is lucky to have a horse in any of these three (Triple Crown) races."
Peachtree, which upset the Kentucky Oaks with Plum Pretty two weeks ago, was second in the 2001 Kentucky Derby with Invisible Ink. Flashpoint is the stable's first Preakness starter.
ISN'T HE PERFECT – Trainer Doodnauth Shivmangal put the most heavily campaigned Preakness runner (12 career starts) through his final paces at Belmont Park Thursday morning before loading him onto a van around noon for an approximately four-hour trip to Pimlico.
"He galloped once around" the sloppy Belmont training track, according to Shivmangal, who said he didn't want to take any chances on what he called a "very bad" racetrack. The son of Pleasantly Perfect ran fifth on a sloppy sealed surface at Aqueduct in the Jerome on April 23 in his most recent start with Channing Hill. He will be ridden on Saturday by former Maryland riding champ and Hall of Famer Edgar Prado.
Shivmangal said that will be the only change for his colt, who began his career on turf because of the South American dam's pedigree influence. After two failed grass starts, he was moved to dirt and broke his maiden last November in a maiden claiming race at Aqueduct. He has always run in blinkers.
"He likes to run at horses," said Shivmangal, who secured the colt's second victory this March in a starter allowance race before taking on tougher 3-year-olds in the Wood Memorial and Jerome. "He likes to have a target, so I like to try to cover him up between horses and let him make a move after the three-eighths. You never know what might happen to the race or how the track plays."
Isn't He Perfect drew post 12 and was listed at odds of 30-1 by linemaker Frank Carulli for the colt's first venture outside the Empire State. This will be the first Preakness runner for Shivmangal, a Guyana native training for his cousin's Kharag Stables.
KING CONGIE – Mike Masiello gave an emotional tribute to the late namesake of King Congie at Thursday morning's Alibi Breakfast at Pimlico. The West Point Thoroughbreds partner spoke about the life of Congie DeVito and the significant role he played in the success of the stable's Preakness hopeful.
"It's just a great story; he was such a great person, and he's got us all here," said Masiello, whose voice cracked with emotion on several occasions during his heartfelt tribute. "This is the most amazing thing that's ever happened to us."
Masiello spoke of DeVito's courage and the legacy that will always serve as an inspiration to West Point Thoroughbreds founder Terry Finley and his partners.
"He was part of the West Point team for 13 years. Congie was our sales rep, a terrific guy, a quadriplegic who had brittle bone disease and lived his whole life in a wheelchair," Masiello said. "Last year, Terry bought this horse as a 2-year-old and he was kind of scrawny looking. He was kind of hard to sell, so we turned him over to Congie and said, 'Congie, we're getting rid of this horse, because no one in the partnership will be buying him.'"
DeVito accepted the challenge and made a lot of calls to put together an ownership group before telling Finley that the only way he'll complete the sale is if he could name the colt after himself. Thus, the son of Badge of Silver was named King Congie.
"He was such an outspoken, wonderful, positive personality. Probably the biggest personality that I've met," Masiello said.
Congie DeVito passed away on Feb. 16 at the age of 35 but not before his confidence in the once-scrawny colt was rewarded when he became a stakes winner while capturing the Tropical Park Derby at Calder on Jan. 1.
MIDNIGHT INTERLUDE – Trainer Bob Baffert expects a better performance from the War Chant colt in the Preakness than he delivered while finishing 16th in the Kentucky Derby winner.
Arnold Zetcher's Santa Anita Derby winner drew post No. 7 in the Preakness field, and jockey Martin Garcia, who regularly rides Baffert's stakes horses, will replace Victor Espinoza.
Baffert, a five-time winner of the Preakness, is in position to win the race in consecutive years for the third time. He doubled with Silver Charm in 1997 and Real Quiet in 1998, came back for two in a row with Point Given in 2001 and War Emblem in 2002 and snagged his fifth Preakness with Lookin At Lucky last year.
Midnight Interlude was the fifth choice in the wagering at 9-1, but struggled adapting to a slow early pace and a large field, according to his trainer. He never was in contention in the later stages of the race and finished 17 ¾ lengths behind Animal Kingdom.
"We had a loaded gun, but apparently we didn't have any powder." Baffert said. "I think he just lost interest. It was really unexplainable. I was very puzzled with the effort. He broke well, he was right there and then he got shuffled back down and was off the pace. He's used to running up close in the clear. He's still green.
"I didn't think it was going to happen when I drew the 15. I thought, 'he will be in a good place,' but it didn't happen like I thought it was going to work out."
Baffert said the race took so little out of Midnight Interlude that it looked like he was recovered the next day. Still, Baffert waited until the colt worked three furlongs Monday at Churchill Downs before he confirmed that the colt was headed to the Preakness.
"It seems like he's bounced out of his race and looks sharper for this race than he did going into the Derby," Baffert said.
"The track for the Kentucky Derby is not the same track that we run on every year. They really had it dug up; it was pretty cuppy that day. I remember walking over there and it was real cuppy. Some horses struggle with it. Usually, it's nice and tight. I think there is a lot of pressure now to keep it slower," he said. "They went 1:13; those horses are supposed to be going in 1:11. It's not like the fractions were slow, it was slow because it was a pretty demanding track that day."
Baffert said that Garcia needs to ride an aggressive race, no matter the pace, for Midnight Interlude to be successful.
"It's not the fractions," Baffert said. "He just needs to put him in the race. He needs to put him in the race, keep him on the bit and give him a chance to be there. He will keep going, but he didn't like being taken back."
MR. COMMONS – Owner Ian Banwell spent Thursday morning at Pimlico watching his colt train for the Preakness and taking in some of the activities around the now-lively stakes barn.
Mr. Commons was one of the nine Preakness runners who arrived at the track Wednesday morning. The Artie Schiller colt, trained by John Shirreffs, flew from California to Kentucky on Tuesday and on to Baltimore on Wednesday. The colt galloped at Pimlico and tried to chew on Shirreff's hand while he was being bathed.
Banwell owns St. George Farm in Lexington, home to about 25 broodmares, and though he has been active in the Thoroughbred business for more than a decade, he wasn't aiming for the Preakness or the other races in the Triple Crown. Mr. Commons, who was third in the Santa Anita Derby, has changed that approach, at least this year.
"We don't race colts," Banwell said. "This is a standard broodmare and racing operation. We race about 25, most of those with Watts Humphries."
Banwell was advised to keep Mr. Commons by bloodstock consultant David Ingordo, Shirreffs' stepson, and the colt emerged as a stakes runner. Though he is bred for the turf, Mr. Commons has won on grass and dirt and ran very well in his stakes debut in the Santa Anita Derby.
"John is one of the great trainers in the world," Banwell said. "What he has conveyed to us is that the horse trains every day on the dirt and he has never seen him not like the surface. It's really sort of his home surface. We had him on the grass one time and he clearly looks like he likes grass, but maybe he's just one of these versatile horses."
Banwell smiled as he talked about the journey to the Preakness.
"With regards to a classic race, sure, it's everybody's dream. It's certainly mine," he said. "To be able to have a homebred in a classic is even more special."
Banwell said the colt's name has special significance to his family.
"My kids go to Groton School outside of Boston," Banwell said. "The headmaster of the school, Mr. Commons, is important to my kids. Rich is a great guy."
MUCHO MACHO MAN – Reeves Thoroughbred Racing and Dream Team Racing's Mucho Macho Man galloped about two miles and visited the starting gate Thursday morning after vanning to Pimlico from Belmont Park the day before.
The leggy colt, who finished third in the Kentucky Derby, continues to impress trainer Kathy Ritvo with his easy-going nature and model behavior.
"He's one of the easiest horses to gallop, everyone tells me. All my riders say it's unbelievable how good he is," said Ritvo, whose colt was ridden by exercise rider Herberto Pugar Thursday morning. "If you want him to go, he'll go. If you don't, he'll fall asleep galloping. He'll be just like a pony. He doesn't waste a lot of energy. I think that's why he's a good horse."
Ritvo was impressed with the calm manner with which Mucho Macho Man handled the commotion that is Kentucky Derby Day. However, the South Florida-based trainer did notice a change in Mucho Macho Man before leaving Belmont Park.
"This workout we had a couple days ago was unbelievable. Usually, he'll do what you want him to do, unless he sees a horse in front of him. There was no horse in front of him, but when he hit the quarter-pole, he just took off," she said. "Rajiv said he wanted to do more than I wanted him to do. That's not like him. Usually, he's laid back. He was very aggressive."
Ritvo views her colt's energy level as a positive sign that Derby didn't take much out of him.
NORMAN ASBJORNSON – Thomas McClay and Harry Nye's Norman Asbjornson galloped two miles and schooled at the starting gate Thursday morning at Bowie Training Center. The son of 1998 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Real Quiet has had his troubles in the starting gate in many of his races, so trainer Chris Grove has scheduled regular schooling sessions in the gate. The Maryland native has been pleased with his colt's behavior during training hours.
"I don't know if he knows the difference between the morning and the afternoon, or if he's just starting to mature," Grove said.
The namesake for Norman Asbjornson was present at Thursday's morning's Alibi Breakfast, seated with Grove and Nye, a longtime business associate.
"I'm a CEO of a heating/air conditioning company in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We manufacture commercial heating and air conditioning. Harry represents us in Eastern Pennsylvania. He made a lot of money representing us, and he called me up and asked me if he could name the horse after me, because he thought I was a lucky man and knew how to make a lot of money," Asbjornson said. "I thought it was quite an honor, and the rest is history. I believe he's going to do well on Saturday."
Norman Asbjornson, the horse, drew the No. 2 post for Saturday's Preakness Stakes and will be ridden by Maryland-based jockey Julian Pimentel.
SHACKLEFORD – Owners Michael Lauffer and W.D. Cubbedge were trackside to watch their speedy son of Forestry jog 1 ½ miles under exercise rider Faustino Ramos. He then stood in the gate on a gray Thursday Pimlico morning before returning to his stall in the Preakness Stakes Barn.
"He just bounced around over it," said trainer Dale Romans, who arrived in Baltimore the day before. "He's worked on wet tracks before. It was fine."
Shackleford drew post 5 in the 14-horse field. Shackleford has shown plenty of speed in his last two starts, setting a rather pedestrian pace in the Derby before holding on for fourth money.
"They had a nice, easy slow pace, but they flew home," said Romans, whose pacesetting First Dude nearly stole last year's Preakness before finishing second. "He came home fast, too, just not fast enough."
The Derby actually turned out to be Shackleford's fastest race in terms of speed figures, and Romans is hoping that a cutback in distance from 1 ¼ miles to 1 3/16 miles will work in his favor.
"I'm sure we're not going to get the same pace scenario we got in the Derby (1:13 2/5 for six furlongs) with Flashpoint and a couple others in the race, but a mile and three-sixteenths should be right up his alley," he said.
Jesus Castanon will be aboard the Florida Derby runner-up, who stands to earn an additional $550,000 from MI Developments' Preakness 5.5 bonus should he win the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown.
SWAY AWAY – Assistant trainer Miguel Carranza sent out the good-looking chestnut colt to a sealed sloppy track at Pimlico Thursday morning for his first gallop, while trainer Jeff Bonde was preparing to make the cross-country flight from California.
"Then he stood in the gate and he looked pretty good," said Carranza, who borrowed exercise rider Frank Herrarte from fellow Californian John Shirreffs for the activity. On Wednesday, the son of 2005 Preakness winner Afleet Alex drew post No. 6 in the 14-horse field.
"I think it's going to be a complete opposite of the Derby," said racing manager Mersad Metanovic. "I believe there's plenty of speed. I think there will be a lot of pressure on the jockeys to actually ride their horses and put them in the race early."
A rapid pace would play into the style of Sway Away, who has been taken back in all four of his stakes starts, most recently the Arkansas Derby, in which he finished fourth.
"You've got Astrology on the rail, Flashpoint in the 4-hole, Shackleford in the 5-hole and you've got Dance City coming out of an outside post," Metanovic said. "Those will be your first four horses going into that first turn most likely. There will be a good pace."
Sway Away hasn't won since his maiden-breaker in June of 2010, and he was the last horse left out of the Kentucky Derby based on graded-stakes earnings.
"He is coming up to his best race," Metanovic predicted. "I would be surprised if he doesn't run his best race."

A Call for Truly Radical Wealth Redistribution
- Matt Bell SoundMindInvesting.com
- 2011 21 Nov
Read Part I of this two-part series: let's occupy our own streets.
Of all the issues swirling around the Occupy Wall Street protests, the one that seems to have struck the most sensitive nerve is financial inequality. It prompted one writer, whose article appeared in the wall street journal, to accuse the protesters of calling for "radical wealth redistribution."
He didn't define what he meant by "radical," but you could sense his outrage over the idea of wealth redistribution and his disdain for the protesters.
The problem is, no one is defining their terms very well – the protesters or those protesting what they think the protesters are protesting.
Wealth Redistribution Done Right
At first glance, I don't believe in "wealth redistribution" either, at least not forced wealth redistribution. The idea is an opportunity and initiative killer.
However, I do believe in the type promoted by a small group of "radicals" a couple of thousand years ago.
The apostle Paul taught that 2 Corinthians 2:11 and he encouraged everyone to "2 Corinthians 2:7."
In the book of James, thought to have been written by Jesus' brother, the author implored people to put their faith into action, James 2:15.
Far too many of us are doing far too little in this area. generosity research shows that the average church member gives less than three percent of his or her income to their church – far lower than the biblical standard of "tithes and offerings."
Could it be that the solution isn't "out there" somewhere, but closer to home? Could it be that the most significant reform needed isn't on Wall Street or in Washington, but in our own hearts, our own relationships, and our own wallets?
Radical Generosity
What if we didn't wait for someone else to help – the government, social service agencies, the church? What if each of us generously supported our place of worship and gave generously to individuals in need? Now that would be radical.
What if we actually told our close friends and family members when we had needs instead of keeping our problems to ourselves out of fear of embarrassment or not wanting to be a burden? Now that would be radical.
And to the degree that the government can play a role this area, what if our political leaders came up with ideas and cast a vision for increased individual generosity, instead of spending time on ideas destined to reducepeople's charitable giving? Now that would be radical.
Being the Change We Want to See
The more I think about the Occupy Wall Street protests, the more it seems that the issues all come down to one question: Who's responsible?
And I can't help but remember the research of Arthur Brooks, author of "Who Really Cares." He found that people who believe the government should do more for people tend to be less personally generous.
That's incredibly ironic, isn't it? And, as John Stossel discovered in an abc news segment on who gives the most, it's counterintuitive.
Many corporate and government leaders have contributed to our global economic mess. That's for sure. However, as I wrote in my first post about the Occupy Wall Street Movement, let's occupy our own streets, our best hope for long-term economic solutions is for us – household by household – to take personal responsibility do the right things. And one of those right things is greater personal generosity.
Those of us who step up our generosity would very likely experience more joy. And those who receive from friends and family members would very likely benefit more as well. If it's your friend or neighbor who's helping you out, you're not going to feel entitled to that assistance, become dependent on it, or take to the streets when the assistance ends. You're going to be deeply grateful, and you're going to do all that you can to become self-sufficient again as quickly as possible.
I'd like to see more corporate leaders manage their businesses with integrity, and I'd like to see a lot more vision and much better ideas from our political leaders. However, I'm convinced that the greatest lasting changes will only come about when we make the right changes at home, such as growing in our personal generosity.
That's my point of view. What's yours? Let me know by leaving a comment.

SAN FRANCISCO — Salesforce.com said Friday it has rented 714,000 square feet in San Francisco, the largest lease deal in the city's history, becoming the primary tenant in an office tower where the company could move 2,800 to 3,500 employees.
The software company says it expects to hire more than 1,000 employees in the Bay Area this year, expanding its footprint as the largest technology company in San Francisco. Salesforce.com already has more than 4,000 employees in the Bay Area and more than 13,000 employees worldwide.
The office project is currently under construction and will be renamed Salesforce Tower, according to Cushman & Wakefield, which arranged the lease. The 61-story skyscraper is expected to be the tallest on the West Coast.
"Salesforce Tower represents an incredible milestone in our company's history," salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff said in a prepared release. "It will be the heart of our global headquarters in San Francisco."
By 2017, the company expects its downtown San Francisco footprint to exceed 2 million square feet — which would be sufficient space for 8,000 to 10,000 employees in San Francisco alone.
Despite the presence of high-profile companies such as Salesforce, Twitter, Zynga and Square, San Francisco won't be able to challenge Silicon Valley as the dominant tech hub in the Bay Area, analysts said.
"People who say San Francisco is the new tech center rather than Silicon Valley don't know what they're talking about," said Tim Bajarin, principal analyst with Campbell-based Creative Strategies, a market researcher. "San Francisco tech companies have the ability to draw from a rich talent pool up and down the Peninsula. But to say San Francisco is a rival of Silicon Valley is silly."
San Francisco has about 59,700 tech jobs, or 27 percent of the 219,500 tech jobs in Santa Clara County, according to state Employment Development Department figures cited in a recent Bloomberg News report.
From 2010 to 2013, however, San Francisco added tech jobs at a faster pace than Santa Clara County. During that stretch, San Francisco's tech job totals grew 57 percent, while Santa Clara County tech jobs grew 14 percent, the EDD survey found.
"San Francisco can always say it is a rival to Silicon Valley," said Rob Enderle, a San Jose-based tech analyst. "But San Francisco will never reach the point of being dominant. If you are going to launch a startup, it's much more likely to be in Santa Clara County."

Lost Charlottesville: Ski Land
We came across the 2/21/74 edition of the Daily Progress, with this ad for Ski Land, one of America's only ski areas to augment natural snow with both plastic carpets and pellets. According to commenters at DCSki.com, the place operated for just a single season. Bonus: there's a nearby ad for Skatetown, the former East Market Street roller rink which is now the home of the Starlight Express bus service.Read more on: lost charlottesville

It was a unique concept when it opened, but I had forgotten how long ago it was. I seem to recall it was to operate year round when it opened. It is now buried under tons of fill dirt.
Gotta love the references to Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Last Tango in Paris. Back then the Prog had a book editor, etc.
I remember when that place closed down. It quickly became on of the areas favorite four wheeling trails. I had a 1978-79 Jeep CJ7 sporting straight "cherry bomb" mufflers, rag top, and raised. We used to tear that hill up!!! Those were the days!!!!!!!

The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) announced Monday that it has appointed Geoffrey Brown as its new CEO effective July 1.
Previously, Brown served as an account executive for the Sentergroup, a Chicago-based management consultancy specializing in nonprofit and association management. His experience includes association management, strategic planning and organizational development. At Sentergroup, he was responsible for managing day-to-day operations for multiple client associations, coordinating the execution of strategic initiatives and providing financial oversight.
Brown replaces Ellen Turf, who decided last October to leave her post at NAPFA's Chicagoland-based executive offices after more than 20 years at the helm of the professional association of fee-only financial advisors. NAPFA was founded in 1983 and has since grown to a nationwide membership of approximately 2,500.
In his new role as NAPFA CEO, Brown will be responsible for leading the group's team of paid professionals while managing the organization's growth. He also will work with NAPFA's board of directors in developing their strategic plans.
Prior to his time at Sentergroup, Brown served as association manager for SmithBucklin Corp., a large association management company based in Chicago. While there, he managed client strategies and operations, provided counsel to association leaders, and oversaw client membership and financial services.
"The strategic drive and extensive association management experience that Geof brings to NAPFA will result in higher visibility, broader outreach and greater stakeholder engagement," said NAPFA Chairwoman Lauren Locker. "His energy and passion are exactly what this organization needs to continue making strides in the advancement of our profession."
The candidate search was conducted by association and nonprofit search experts Vetted Solutions.
"NAPFA's commitment to supporting financial advisors who serve their clients' best interests first and foremost position it as a leader in the financial services industry," said Brown in a statement. "I'm very much looking forward to leading such a quality-driven and ethically strong organization."

Yahoo has demanded Facebook license as many as 20 of its technology patents or face a lawsuit.
The technology patents held by Yahoo include advertising, website personalization, social networking and messaging, the New York Times' Dealbook reported. Yahoo is asking Facebook to pay up or possibly face patent infringement lawsuit.
"Yahoo has a responsibility to its shareholders, employees and other stakeholders to protect its intellectual property," a Yahoo spokesman said in an e-mailed statement. "We must insist that Facebook either enter into a licensing agreement or we will be compelled to move forward unilaterally to protect our rights."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Facebook said that it hasn't had an opportunity to evaluate Yahoo's claims yet.
Patent lawsuits have been brewing for decades now, including the infamous patent trolls that essentially make their money suing technology companies. This led to several tech titans buying up smaller companies solely for intellectual property (including Google's current deal to buy Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion.)
However, Yahoo has something close to 1,000 patents and the patents have been rated as the most valuable for communications and Internet services.
But why now? Some say that it's because Yahoo's new chief executive Scott Thompson is hunting for ways to bring in revenue and create a highly profitable quarter -- to make himself look good, of course. The move is also timed very well, right before Facebook's initial public offering, so it can do the most harm to the social network and Yahoo could possibly get a higher payout to make the controversy go away.
And the payout could be around $3 billion, according to at least one Forbes blogger. That's more than 9 months of gross profits ($2.5 billion) for Yahoo.

It's amazing how such a little car can have such a huge price tag. This 1955 Bandini Siluro twin-cam, which we had a chance to ogle at Amelia Island this year, not only has excellent racing history and a concours-worthy restoration, but it's being sold by Cliff Reuter, the man who seemingly has cornered the market on etceterini knowledge. It's not often you get to buy a car from an expert in that car's field. From Cliff's description:
This Bandini (#358) is one of 46 known Bandinis in the world today and is the only Siluro (torpedo) with a Series 2 twin cam engine. This engine produces 71 bhp and because the car only weighs 750 pounds, it has amazing acceleration and has been timed at 115 m.p.h. It retains all of its original metal and the engine is original to the car. The car was imported to the U.S. in 1958 by T.B. Davis of Dallas Texas. Its first documented race was the November 15, 1959, Daytona National Championship race with Hugh Grammar driving for Davis. It was then bought and campaigned by Hugh Grammar in the SCCA Southwest Region until 1964. It won that championship from 1961 to 1963 and finished second in 1964. Its last known race was the November 14-15, 1964 Riverside Road Race of Champions. It is in concours condition and just won an award at Amelia Island and also won an award at Pebble Beach in 2002.

Keith Urban Gives a Fan the Keys to Her New Home
In one of his many number one hits, Keith Urban sang about having a 'Better Life.'
Last Friday, that's exactly what he helped give one lucky fan and her family.
Urban, who was in Knoxville, Tennessee for a show at the Thompson Boling Arena, took some time out to hand Regina Olum the keys to her new home — part of a photo op for Habitat for Humanity, an organization close to Urban's heart.
"It's a beautiful thing when a house is so much more than walls and windows and a roof," said Urban at the ceremony. "It's a place where a family can start making memories."
"This experience has truly been a blessing," said Olum. "You've made my house a home. I've met beautiful people along the way, and they keep going and going."

One day in 2000, Copenhagen, Denmark's Anders Kissmeyer, his wife and several friends boarded a plane bound for New York City. Annually, millions of Europeans make the voyage, but unlike many, the Empire State Building did not top Kissmeyer's itinerary. As the head of quality control for Carlsberg, Kissmeyer was keenly interested in checking out Brooklyn Brewery, part of America's craft-brewing vanguard.
At the industrial-Brooklyn brewery, the Danish contingent was greeted by brewmaster Garrett Oliver, who acted as tour guide and poured samples of his amber-hued, hopped-up Lager and nicely bittered East India Pale Ale. "I was blown away," recalls Kissmeyer, now 55. His wife and friends' response was equally explosive. "They started attacking me," he recalls, laughing. Though they'd never expressed interest in craft beer, "They said, 'Why isn't anyone making beers like this in Denmark?' I was defensive, but the more I thought about, the more I realized that I wanted to start a craft brewery."
Denmark at the time was dominated by lagers, with citizens "convinced that Carlsberg and Tuborg"—a lager also made by Carlsberg—"were the best in the world," Kissmeyer says. Yet the Carlsberg man could no longer toe the company line. He convinced an entrepreneur friend to invest in what became the Nørrebro Bryghus brewpub which, upon opening in September 2003, offered a liquid lineup that would be familiar to any American beer drinker. The lager recalled Brooklyn Brewery's. The amber ale echoed New Belgium's Fat Tire. And there was even an espresso stout. "My inspiration was American craft beers," Kissmeyer says of his brews, which attracted droves of enthusiastic drinkers eager to broaden their horizons.
These are not the United States' salad days. Bailouts barely keep the nation's economy treading water. Global conflicts have sent America's popularity rating plummeting. The country's manufacturing muscle has atrophied, overpowered by the might of China, Korea and Japan. Despite struggles, there's one sector in which America leads the charge, displaying its patented pluck and innovative spark and offering global inspiration: craft brewing. "Beer is practically the only thing America makes that other people want," says Will Shelton, 49, the vice president of beer importer Shelton Brothers and president of Massachusetts' High & Mighty Beer Company.
At the dawn of America's beer boom, the country's beer makers imitated the lagers and ales of Germany, Belgium and the U.K. Now the tap lines have turned, with the hoppy, uncompromising ales of breweries such as California's Stone and Ballast Point inspiring international brewers to agitate the sudsy status quo. In New Zealand, a land once accustomed to ho-hum lagers, Epic Brewing's Luke Nicholas has won over Kiwis with his powerfully hopped, American-influenced IPAs. Down in Mexicali, Mexico, Cucapá Brewing's U.S.-style pale ales rebut Corona, while Norway's Nøgne Ø has taken to brewing imperial stouts and double IPAs that would make any U.S. brewer proud. And at Japan's Baird Brewing, the Shizuoka Summer Mikan Ale, is made not only with local Satsuma fruit but also with citrusy American hops.
Ambassador IPA
The emblem of American craft brewing is the bitter, fragrant IPA. Though the style originated in England, stateside brewers have forever altered the formula, turning down malty caramel notes and cranking hops to 11. The modern American IPA, especially pungent West Coast renditions, is a gateway craft beer, recalibrating palates accustomed to light lagers. It's a blueprint replicated worldwide, as the British import has become an American export.
"An IPA's fruity, resinous flavors are a drastic departure from the beers many people are accustomed to drinking," explains Scottish brewer Martin Dickie, 29, a "frontline soldier in the craft beer revolution." In 2007, to rebel against what he called the "thoughtless, lackluster beer" dominating the U.K., Dickie and friend James Watt founded BrewDog in northeast Scotland. For research, the duo traveled to Southern California to visit hop-happy breweries such as Stone and AleSmith. Upon returning, they hit the marketplace with their Punk IPA, which incorporates the American hops Simcoe and Chinook, and their Hardcore imperial IPA "hopped to hell, then dry-hopped to hell too," according to the brewery's website. "When we started our brewery four years ago, there was no way you could sell a 9.2 percent IPA in a supermarket," Dickie says. Now, national chain Sainsbury's stocks Hardcore, while Tesco supermarkets sell BrewDog's Finest American Double IPA.
BrewDog shares its double IPA muse with many hop-mad European beersmiths. After a trip to San Diego's Craft Brewers Conference in 2004, the Nørrebro Bryghus team was so awestruck by California IPAs that they crafted the North Bridge Extreme—which soon summited RateBeer.com's imperial IPA rankings. "People were like, 'Who are these guys in Denmark with the No. 1 imperial IPA in the world?' " Kissmeyer recalls, laughing. Upon returning from the Great Alaska Beer & Barley Wine Festival in 2005, Hildegard van Ostaden, brewmaster at Ruiselede, Belgium's Urthel, devised the Hop-It double IPA dosed with European noble hops—as is the double IPA from the Netherlands' Bierbrouwerij Grand-Café Emelisse. And in 2006, after a college stint spent in California developing a taste for hoppy ales, Luke Nicholas, 40, the head brewer at Auckland, New Zealand's Epic Brewing, unleashed a collection of hop-forward pale ales and potent IPAs "to get people out of the mind-set that beers were yellow, cold and fizzy," Nicholas says. "People were like, 'What are you doing? That's too much flavor.' I totally freaked out New Zealand."
But shock quickly leads to acceptance. Since Epic launched, other Kiwi breweries have climbed aboard the hoppy bandwagon. New Zealand's long-running Tuatara now offers the fruity, herbaceous American Pale Ale, and newcomer 8 Wired has garnered fans with its Hopwired IPA. Not to be outdone, Nicholas' Hop Zombie is a dank, resinous double IPA with a familiar lineage: "We were inspired by Russian River's Pliny the Elder and Port Brewing's Mango [both from California]," Nicholas says. "We decided to raise the bar in New Zealand," Nicholas says.
A Style All Their Own
Being inspired by American craft brewing does not require venturing to flavor's extreme fringe. In fact, says Will Shelton, who imports cultish breweries including Epic and Denmark's Mikkeller, "what concerns me is the notion that America's more-is-better mentality defines the country's beer." Instead, Shelton explains, many international brewers are influenced by America's derring-do of paddling against the prevailing current. "Many international brewers were like, 'We're going to do things differently,' " Shelton says, with hops just one tool in the brewing shed.
Take Bryan Baird. After finishing grad school, the beer aficionado moved to Japan in 1995, a time when brewpubs and microbreweries were springing up nationwide there. Dissatisfied with his job, he decided to combine his two great passions: craft beer and Japanese culture. He returned to the U.S. to study at California's American Brewers Guild, apprenticed at Seattle's Redhook Ale and drove up and down the West Coast researching hundreds of breweries and brewpubs. In 2000, Baird moved to Japan's coastal Numazu and cofounded Baird Beer with his wife, Sayuri.
Entering Japan's be
er market was a dicey notion. The country's traditional culture places stigmas on business failure; modern craft brewing is a risky business known for goosing tradition. But as an outsider, "I was not afraid of failing in the same way that many Japanese are," says Baird, 44. Since Japan is accustomed to German-influenced lagers like Sapporo and Asahi, Baird made one of his first year-round beers the balanced, gently malty Teikoku IPA. "I was told that an IPA wouldn't fly," Baird recalls. "We proved them wrong."
While Baird crafts many hop-driven beers, the brewery is distinguished by his equation that blends Japanese sensibilities and American brewing: character = balance + complexity. The formula applies to all of Baird's beers (adorned with woodblock-print labels), whether a bittersweet porter or seasonal ale made with locally harvested fruits. "Similar to many U.S. craft breweries, we're introducing consumers to the rest of the beer-style world," Baird says.
That was the goal of Kjetil Jikiun, 47, cofounder and brewmaster of Grimstad, Norway's Nøgne Ø. As a commercial airline pilot, Jikiun fell under the spell of American craft breweries he encountered while traveling. The pilot purchased a homebrew kit, proved his brewing prowess and, inspired by Washington breweries Elysian and Hood Canal, launched Norway's inaugural craft brewery. "We had no commercial business plan. We just wanted to change Norwegian beer culture and bring these flavors to the public," Jikiun says.
From the start, Nøgne Ø worshipped at a hoppy altar, turning out IPAs that "people didn't understand," Jikiun says. "They'd say, 'This is not beer. People in Norway don't like these flavors.'" Over time, favorable press from an unlikely ally—wine writers—swayed public sentiment. Though the IPA is now Nøgne Ø's top seller, the brewery has begun moderating its hops usage, focusing on subtle saisons, thirst-quenching witbiers and even a Christmas ale inspired by Norway's winter-warming spiced wine gløgg. "We've come to understand harmony and balance," he says. What's emerged is a singular Scandinavian brewing identity.
Finding balance takes time, as does educating consumers not accustomed to novel beers. For instance, Baird Brewing provides retailers with manuals describing its beers and how they're best served. At Nørrebro Bryghus, the servers are indoctrinated into craft beer from day one. "We want to educate our customers about beer and beer-and-food pairings," Kissmeyer says. And BrewDog, which has opened several U.K. pubs, is adamant about serving quality craft beer (U.S. brews are offered alongside BrewDog's own beers and those of other pioneering European breweries) and employing knowledgeable staff. "It's a way to interact with non–craft beer drinkers, who soon become craft beer drinkers too," says Dickie.
Many Happy Returns
American craft brewing's global influence is no one-way street. Instead, it's become a two-way highway, with Europe's American-inspired beers making the reverse trip across the ocean. From Norway, HaandBryggeriet (the "hand brewery") crafts familiar, yet tweaked creations such as the Norwegian Porter aged in aquavit barrels and the dark and smoky Norwegian Wood spiced with juniper twigs and berries. From Italy's craft-beer hot bed, Birrificio del Ducato offers the Verdi Imperial Stout spiked with hot chilies, while Birra del Borgo adds American-centric Amarillo and Cascade hops to its ReAle Extra "Italian IPA." (On the flip side, Stone is actively seeking out a brewery location in Europe.)
Yet some of America's most cultishly revered beers are the boundary-stretching creations of Denmark's Mikkeller. Like a wandering gypsy, head brewer Mikkel Borg Bjergsø sets up in breweries across America and Europe to formulate brain-bending ales such as the "educational" ales concocted with different hops and yeast strains and the Beer Geek Brunch Weasel coffee stout made with Vietnamese beans "harvested" from civet cat droppings. Before Mikkeller's beers twinkled in America's eye, they were only sold at Copenhagen's Ølbutikken, a bottle shop owned by ardent homebrewer Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø—Mikkel's twin brother.
"We decided that he'd brew the beer, while I'd open the shop," says Jarnit-Bjergsø, 36. As his brother's bold creations gained acclaim, Jarnit-Bjergsø augmented the bottle selection with American brands, such as Rogue, Pretty Things and Jolly Pumpkin, which were acquired via an import company he founded. But what's the fun of hosting a party when you can join one too? In spring 2010, Jarnit-Bjergsø followed his brother's lead and launched his own gypsy brewery, Evil Twin.
"I look to the U.S. and Belgium for inspiration," he says of his peculiar potables. His Yin and Yang are a strapping stout and supercharged IPA designed to combine like the classic black and tan, while the Disco blends a strong, rich IPA with Chardonnay. Most Evil Twin beers are America-bound, which is great for building beer-geek buzz but terrible for the bottom line. Shipping tariffs can ratchet up a single 11.2-ounce bottle to $10 or $12, an issue echoed by Epic's Nicholas. "We're a small brewery in a small country a long way away," he says. "When our beers reach the East Coast, they can be pretty expensive."
Anders Kissmeyer also had sticker shock when he saw his Nørrebro brews selling for nearly $20 at a Boston beer store. Though he remains a consultant at Nørrebro, he's trying a different tack at Kissmeyer Beer and Brewing, which he launched in spring 2010. To shave shipping costs on his of-the-American-moment beers, such as the fruity Stockholm Syndrome Double IPA and tropical-tinged Citra Tripel, he's brewing in America's Northeast. In addition, the Shelton Brothers are planning to build a Massachusetts brewery. There, Will Shelton will craft his low-alcohol High & Mighty line, but "we'd like to start importing brewers, too," he says. "They'll be able to make beer of the same high quality, and we'll be able to sell it for far less."
Brewing in America also appeals to Evil Twin's Jarnit-Bjergsø. He contracted Santa Cruz, California's Uncommon Brewers to make a batch of his IPA, and he's trekked to Westbrook Brewing in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, to brew too. "The only disadvantage I see is that it's difficult to call it a Danish craft beer when it's brewed in South Carolina," Jarnit-Bjergsø says, laughing. (Keeping the sibling rivalry stewing, his brother recently tapped California's Drake Brewing to craft Mikkeller's Invasion IPA.) Now, instead of constantly trekking overseas to fire up a brew kettle, Jarnit-Bjergsø is taking the drastic step of relocating his family to America, most likely Brooklyn. "We're having so much fun," he says, "it seems obvious to me to be in the U.S."

A Brief History of Bradford Cathedral tells me that a stone church had been built on the site as early as 1327. Through the centuries the building received various changes and reconstructions. The nave arcades were built in 1458 and are still in use now. Even with all the changes, many parts of the building were in existence during the times of my known ancestors two centuries ago.
There are some older images of the cathedral available on the internet. One drawing shows what the church might have looked like during the time of the Tudors, with a graveyard nearby. Another undated drawing of the church shows smaller buildings clustered on streets near the Cathedral. And one last drawing shows a view of the large, arched, stained glass window, out of our view in the photo above.
Church records tell me that
- Abel Armitage, son of John and Hannah Armitage, was baptized on October 21, 1821. John was employed as a comber. The family lived in South Horton.
- Abel Armitage and Eliza Hartley were married on January 13, 1847. He worked as a carter, she was a mill hand. They lived in Horton. Abel's father, John, worked as a collier at the time of Abel's and Eliza's marriage. Eliza's father, Richard, was still working as a cloth dresser.
- Ann Armitage, daughter of Abel and Eliza (Hartley) Armitage, was born on May 21, 1850, and was baptized on June 16, 1850. Abel worked as a barrier at the time of Ann's baptism. The family lived in Bowling.
- Elizabeth Armitage, daughter of Abel and Eliza (Hartley) Armitage, was born on August 24, 1852, and was baptized on September 19, 1852. Abel was a porter at the time. The family lived in Bowling.
Considering the line of association these two families had with Bradford Cathedral, I can guess that perhaps other records will be available for Abel's and Eliza's parents, their marriages, and other children in their families. And I hope to find a death record for Eliza

Take Two: Justin Bieber Unveils His Wax Figure
Ian West/Abaca
Girls, rejoice: there's now not one, but four Justin Biebers on the planet. That is, if you count the new built-to-scale wax figures created in the pop star's honor at Madame Tussauds in London, New York City and Amsterdam. "TWINS! lol," Bieber Tweeted as he took a picture with his likeness during an unveiling ceremony in London on Tuesday. "knew [my mom] had more kids!" Although the figures were built to look just like the 17-year-old, they were created before the singing sensation trimmed his signature hair swoosh, so they are a little bit different. But regardless, Bieber couldn't seem to get enough of his new twin while visiting the museum — after all, he spent four months with a team of Madame Tussauds studio artists, helping them get everything from his posture to his eye color perfected. The figures' outfits are custom, too: each look was donated by the Biebs himself. His New York figure wears Balenciaga pants and a black vest by Will-i-am, while the London statue (pictured) sports a red-and-black plaid G-Star shirt. Tell us: What do you think of Bieber's new wax figures? –Kim Peiffer

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The word "startup" might convey a technology-oriented company founded by a 20-something, but the reality is very different, according to a report from the Kauffman Foundation and the online service LegalZoom.
Most new businesses are founded by people aged 40 and older, and consulting is the single biggest business category, according to the report issued on Thursday, which was based on a survey of new business owners.
"Most of the startups are not the kind of startups spawned in Silicon Valley," said Dane Stangler, director of research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation, a Kansas City, Missouri- based organization that promotes entrepreneurship. "I don't want to use the word mundane, but they're run of the mill."
Entrepreneurs between the ages of 30-39 and between the ages of 40-49 founded around a quarter each of the new companies, the survey shows. Entrepreneurs age 50-59 founded just over one-fifth, and those age 18-29 just under one fifth. Age 60 or more represented the balance.
While the image of the founder who dropped out of college looms large in the popular imagination - think Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook or Bill Gates of Microsoft - 37 percent of founders of new companies hold at least a bachelor's degree, with another 25 percent holding a master's or PhD, the survey shows.
About 70 percent of the new businesses reported no employees other than the owner. Of those that have more than five employees, the most common business activities are food and beverage services; business services; consulting; and entertainment, the report says.
More than four-fifths of the businesses said their revenues fell below $50,000. About 8 percent said their revenues totaled more than $100,000 and 1 percent said more than $1 million.
Some two-thirds of respondents used their own money to start their businesses, 10 percent used credit cards, and six percent borrowed against retirement savings. While raising money from outside investors is the norm in Silicon Valley, just 6 percent of survey participants said they went that route.
About 60 percent said they spent more than six months working on their business idea before starting their entity. But 9 percent said they spent less than a month.
The survey was based on 1,431 business owners who used LegalZoom to form their companies in 2012. It did not include any businesses that instead used traditional law firms, or did not file incorporation documents.
About one-third of the business owners were women.

Officials say NH dog killed in illegally set trap
AUBURN, N.H. (AP) � Officials say a dog has been killed in a hunter's trap that was illegally set in Auburn, N.H.
Dog owner Melissa Fogelson said she took her dog for a walk at the Auburn watershed area when it put its head in a trap and suffocated on Wednesday.
Fish and Game Department officials say the device was a body-gripping trap, which may have been set for fishers. But officials say it was set illegally. Fish and Game Officer Chris McKee tells WMUR-TV (ttp://bit.ly/VmTg9O) that a trap that size needs to be set 5 feet off the ground or underwater.
Officials tracked the trap to a hunter who did not have a permit to trap in the watershed property.
The hunter is expected to face charges.

Paradise >> Who knew it would take a village of parents, cyclists and educators to do what one man has done for nearly a decade.
For years, Jim Retzer trained his seventh-graders at Paradise Adventist Academy for the physical and mental endurance to pedal their way through the 100-mile Wildflower Ride each spring. When the 65-year-old teacher collapsed and died unexpectedly Nov. 1, the response from his adoring students was almost immediate.
"The seventh-graders came home and said, "We want to still do the Wildflower for Mr. Retzer,"" said parent Barry DeWitt. "It wasn"t even discussed with the parents. They came up with it themselves."
Parents quickly rallied and a few cycling enthusiasts stepped forward, as did former students whose passion for pedaling was sparked in seventh grade. Together they have worked for weeks to train the students, shuttle them to spin classes and teach them about proper nutrition, hydration and mental stamina in preparation of Sunday"s century ride.
"I"m in awe of what he did," DeWitt said. "It"s taking a group of us to do something he"s done for 10 years."
On Wednesday, the students lined up in front of school like always, adjusting bike shorts, buckling helmets under chins and taking quick sips from bike-mounted water bottles. Soon, they were off and pedaling, legs pumping easy through town and then flying down Honey Run Road at speeds topping 20 mph for a final training ride.
They laughed and chatted, fingers tightly gripping handlebars as they careened quickly around turns.
Looking toward Sunday, the students are filled with excitement and anxiety.
"I know I can do it but I"m still a little bit nervous," said Abby Edwards, 12. "It"ll be the farthest I"ve done."
The most difficult part, predicted 13-year-old Quincy Carter, will be the 50-mile mark,
"You are sort of tired and you know you have to re-do what you just did," she said. "But he"d be happy and proud of us … This was kind of his legacy."
An outdoors enthusiast, Retzer was passionate about sharing his interest with students and led them on a variety of expeditions, whether backpacking, camping or canoeing. Parents like DeWitt who witnessed the difference it made in their children, don"t want to see that opportunity disappear.
"There are all kinds of adventures out there and it opens their eyes up to not be afraid to tackle anything," he said. "Just enjoy this wonderful world."
It was in Retzer"s classroom, while training for the Wildflower last year, that 13-year-old Derek Adams discovered he too loves cycling.
"Just the feeling of the wind rushing past, getting used to speeding without being in a car," he said.
He has since joined a cycling team and rides competitively. He credits Retzer for his passion and is eager to ride in his honor Sunday.
"He was a huge cyclist and wonderful person," he said.
This year, all but three of the 15 seventh-graders are competing in the 100-mile ride, and one will tackle the 65-miler. Twice a week since February, DeWitt, a longtime cyclist, has led training rides up and down Honey Run Road or out to Paskenta — all based off Retzer"s training schedule.
The students started with 20 miles and built up from there. Moments of inevitable frustration, insecurity and injury have arisen but students never gave up, committed to the perseverance Retzer always instilled in them.
"Hard work does pay off," DeWitt said. "As the rides progress and get harder, some of them really struggle. But they have hung in there and stuck to it … You can"t replace that in a classroom."
It was bittersweet for Retzer"s family to find out the students" Wildflower ride would continue, said Travis Retzer, one of the teacher"s sons, who will also be riding in his dad"s memory this weekend.
"It"s really sweet in the fact his students and the community have gotten behind them and how much they appreciated what he did," he said. "I really wish my dad was here to see it. He was the kind of guy who didn"t need a lot of praise and accolades but always appreciated knowing he made a difference in someone"s life."
It"s been amazing to witness changes in everyone affiliated with the training, from a parent who quit smoking to an entire family that took up cycling, said classroom coordinator Kandi Cummings.
"He really affected lives," she said. "Even now, he"s changing lives for the better."
Travis Retzer and his brother designed custom jerseys for the students to wear. The longtime team name, "Retzer"s Sevvies" is emblazoned on the back, with "Live an adventure" down one side and on the other, "I"ll meet you at the big tree" — a reference both to heaven and one of Retzer"s favorite rest spots. On one arm cuff are the words, "Forever our teacher."
When Retzer sought to incorporate cycling into his classroom, it wasn"t about competition but being fit and active, his son recalled.
"Hopefully it lives on for future Wildflowers, so anytime these kids might come back to riding the century, 10 or 15 years from now, they will always have that memory of my dad," Travis Retzer said. "That"s what we would love. We want people to continue with cycling because it"s something he would enjoy."

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel and Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy are trying to push a gun law through the Illinois Legislature during next week's veto session that Illinois doesn't need.
The Chicago leaders are calling for a mandatory minimum three-year prison sentence for anyone convicted of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
While we sympathize with the large challenge of curbing violent crime in Chicago, mandatory minimum sentences have proved to be bad ideas more times than not.
Judges are elected and appointed to carry out sentences, and each case is considered on its own merits. There is professional input on sentencing from court services personnel, prosecutors, sometimes psychologists and often victims.
Judges have plenty of information to determine what they believe is a fair sentence based on the law and the sentencing range for a particular charge. Cases simply don't fit into cookie-cutter scenarios, which is exactly why judges have a range to consider.
Legislators often like mandatory minimum laws so they can brag about how they're tough on crime. But not only are mandatory minimum laws simplistic solutions, they're expensive ones. There are also plenty of gun laws already on the books.
Illinois has one of the most crowded prison systems in the country. The state has been releasing prisoners early because there is simply nowhere to house them.
Illinois Department of Corrections officials estimate that this mandatory minimum sentence would add 4,000 new prisoners to the system at an estimated cost of $900 million over the next decade.
We'd urge legislators not to take the bait to look tough on crime for their constituents by passing laws that aren't economically viable and leave a phony impression of justice.

With windshield repair there's a way to save a little bit of cash and to maintain the seal around your windshield at the same time. It's called windshield repair and it doesn't require removal of your windshield. Windshield repair is a process where your damaged glass is corrected by injecting a strong resin that bonds the broken auto glass together. While your windshield chip won't disappear completely, the appearance will be much better in pretty much every windshield repair case. Windshield replacement, windshield repair requires coaching to learn the art. It's difficult to do a pro grade windshield chip repair. Auto glass replacement alludes to replacing auto glass in any area of your vehicle, including windshield replacement. The other types of glass that replaces are car door glass, back glass, vent glass, and quarter glass. In most cases, these pieces are made of tempered glass, unlike the windshield. That suggests they'll break into hundreds of little and comparatively harmless slices, reducing the possibility of injury.
Having your windshield repaired is reasonably fast and painless but knowing what should be expected will make the Capistrano Beach windshield repair process smoother than it would otherwise. What can be expected when repairing a chip, bull's eye, starbreak, or any other sort of damage? Our Capistrano Beach windshield repair repairs expert will require access to the auto windshield from the interior as well as the outside so plan to have someone available to open the automobile. The specialist will check the damage removing any debris and completely cleaning the area. Depending upon the temperature where the auto is the windshield may need to be heated or cooled for most satisfactory results. Many times the damaged area will have to be scrupulously drilled to make certain that the resin will penetrate into the crack. Once this is done the windshield repair in Capistrano Beach expert will inject the resin. The resin may need to be dealt with by the repair person using a UV light for one or two seconds.
If you've never had windshield replacement done on your automobile you may not know what to expect from Capistrano Beach windshield repair. Below is a quick outline of the steps you may expect when your windshield is replaced. The windshield repair in Capistrano Beach glass engineer will begin by checking its interior and exterior.

The engineer will then start to remove whatever the wipers, any windshield trim and the cowl as required before removing the old windshield. The seotags windshield repair expert will examine the amount and type of adhesive used on the old windshield to help appraise how best to proceed. He / she will cut the majority of the old adhesive down and the new adhesive will be applied the on top. With the adhesive applied the new windshield can be lifted into place. The cowl, wipers and trim will get replaced and the windshield will be cleaned and inspected. Once the job has been finished you should be able to drive your car in as little as an hour though it'll take up to twenty-four hours for the adhesive to completely dry. We look forward to your call.

What do you do for a campus job or work study?
I am a Peer Mentor Leader. While I'm home on breaks, I work at my local Wawa.
What are you up to this summer? And what are you most looking forward to?
This summer I am participating in the National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates in Neuroscience at the University of Missouri. I am assisting in a study that looks at the effects of paced breathing on cognition. While I'm here, I also get to observe new and interesting research in the field of neuroscience (namely autism research) that is being conducted by the lab I'm working with. I'm also taking a class in Computational Neuroscience, a class in Psychophysiology, and a seminar about how to get into and be prepared for graduate school. I'm most looking forward to seeing how our study comes out and presenting a poster at the end of the summer on my research. I'm also excited to explore Columbia, Missouri, meet undergraduates who have the same academic and career goals as me, and learn from professors and graduate students!
Why did you choose your major?
I chose my major because I've always been interested in psychology and the mind, but I'm especially interested in how biology effects cognition and behavior.
What is your favorite Ctown hangout?
My favorite Ctown hangout is Chester River Wine & Cheese Co. It's a newer shop in Chestertown but it should be on the top of your list to visit!
