Globetrotter who took the NZ thoroughbred to the world ...more
Balmerino is remembered for a pioneering odyssey which brought the New Zealand thoroughbred to the world stage. Less remembered is what a good galloper he proved himself in New Zealand and Australia before setting out on his world travels.
Bred and raced by Waikato dairy farmer Ralph Stuart, who had bred very successfully from the family previously, Balmerino was by Trictrac from the grand broodmare Dulcie. Stuart usually sold his colts; the elderly farmer was persuaded by brash young trainer Brian Smith to keep Balmerino after Smith won five races with older half-sister Mia Bella to keep the ledger in the black. Balmerino was the outstanding three-year-old of 1975-76, proving not only his class but his toughness through a campaign that began in the spring and ended in the Queensland winter; that embraced 18 starts and netted 14 wins and three seconds. That toughness stood to Balmerino when, after a truncated four-year-old season which nevertheless provided wins in the Air New Zealand Stakes, Awapuni Gold Cup, Sydney Autumn Stakes and Hastings Ormond Memorial, he headed for Europe. Stopping off on the way in California, where he notched a win despite missing his main target, he won the Valdoe Stakes at Goodwood first up in England and, on that one outing, ran a rather unlucky second in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe to the very good three-year-old Alleged (who won the Arc again the following year). Balmerino then went to Italy, where he finished first in the Gran Premio del Jockey Club but was relegated that to second. Allowing that as at least a moral victory, Balmerino had now won in New Zealand, Australia, the United States, England, and Italy – and finished a luckless second in France's most prestigious race.
As a six-year-old stallion Balmerino had one more campaign and, though he'd lost some of his zest for racing, still managed a win in the Clive Graham Stakes at Goodwood and seconds in the Coronation Cup at Epsom and the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown. He returned home to stand at Middlepark Stud, Cambridge, and sired some quality gallopers despite suffering the quick abandonment by breeders that was the lot of "colonial-bred" stallions at that time.

Champion NZ 3YO Bonecrusher can count amongst his home wins the NZ Derby and Air New Zealand Stakes, followed up with stunning Australian wins in Sydney including the Tancred Stakes and AJC Derby.
In the following spring Bonecrusher won the most memorable Cox Plate duel with Waverley Star – being described as the "race of the century". In this career defining race, Bonecrusher's name continues to live on in equine immortality.
Bonecrusher beat At Talaq in the Australian Cup, again displaying a huge will to win and continued on to win another Air New Zealand Stakes at five, despite having injury problems.
Brookby Song - Steeplechaser
Brookby Song was one of New Zealand's all-time great steeplechasers
A Chestnut gelding he was foaled in 1940, by Hunting Song-Hulomee.
Brookby Song won his jumping debut by 10 lengths and combining stag-like jumping, stamina and huge weight carry ability in 1948 he became only the third horse to win the Great Northern, Wellington and Grand National Steeples all in one year.
Brookby Song carried record weights of 12 stone (76kg) in his second Great Northern win and 12 stone 7lbs (79kg) in the Grand National. He retired with an Australasian stakes record for a jumper of £17,000.
He was trained by Bob Hall and mostly ridden by Jack Chaplin.
One of the greatest racehorses and sires bred in the southern hemisphere ...more
A colourful character named Dan O'Brien bought the Musket colt he first named Mauser and then renamed Carbine at a Sylvia Park, Auckland, auction for 625 guineas. He was unbeaten in five New Zealand starts at two, and O'Brien took him to Melbourne as a spring three-year-old to race in the VRC Derby. Narrowly beaten – he was reputedly beaten by the jockey's over-confidence – in the Derby, he won two races in Melbourne for O'Brien before being bought for 3000 pounds by Australian sportsman Donald Wallace. For Wallace he became the first true champion of Australian racing, transcending Victorian/New South Wales rivalries. He started 43 times for 33 wins, six seconds and three thirds, his stake earnings of 29,626 pounds a record for more than 20 years. The apogee of his racing career was the 1890 Melbourne Cup, which he won over a record field (38), with a record weight (10st 5lb, or 66kg) in record time. No horse had previously won with as much weight; no horse has since, in more than a hundred years. In the closing stages Carbine outfinished a lightweight named Highborn, to whom he was conceding 3st 11lb, or 24kg. Highborn later won the Sydney Cup with 9st 3lb! Carbine went to stud for four years in Australia, and sired the winners of more than 200 races. Then he was sold privately to the Duke of Portland, and, despite standing in England alongside the great St Simon, founded the triple Derby-winning dynasty of Spearmint, Spion Kop and Felstead. His blood flows through the veins of Nearco, Hyperion and all their great descendants.
Race Record:
43 starts, 33 wins, 6 seconds, 3 thirds.
29,626 pounds (a record for over 20 years)

Outstanding performer at the end of the 1930s Defaulter won his last seven races at two years old, and 10 straight as a 3YO, a first-up defeat at three interrupting a sequence of 18 wins.
Defaulter beat the best in Australia as well as New Zealand, winning five weight-for-age races in Sydney against vintage opposition and at distances from seven furlongs to two and a quarter miles.
Retired to stud, Defaulter was a successful sire.
Fierce front running 1st lady of NZ racing ...more
By All Black from Aurarius, Desert Gold was trained by Fred Davis for Mr T.H. (Tom) Lowry; the first of three Tom Lowry's to be the squire of Okawa Stud in the Hawke's Bay. Just as Gloaming's sequence of 19 would have been much longer but for an unexpected defeat, Desert Gold's would have been 22 but for a close second at weight-for-age against the older horses at her second-last start as a two-year-old. She won her final start that season and then proceeded through her three-year-old season unbeaten in 14 starts.
As a four-year-old Desert Gold took her sequence through to 19 with weight-for-age wins at Trentham, Ellerslie and Riccarton. At five she was still the weight-for-age queen – she won the Awapuni Gold Cup at three, four and five years – and she made several trips to Australia where, during those First World War years, she was tremendously popular through her owner donating her winnings to the War Relief Fund.
At six years of age, coming to the end of her wonderful career, Desert Gold had three virtual match races on the then-strong Taranaki circuit with the rising young star Gloaming. She beat him in the first, but Gloaming had got tangled in the tapes at the start; Gloaming won the next "match" but this time Desert Gold lost lengths when her half-brother Croesus fell in front of her. Finally the decider, the Hawera Stakes; and, with no excuses either way this time, the three-year-old Gloaming was too good for the mare. Desert Gold was retired after a few more starts (which included an easy win in the Manawatu Stakes), hugely popular with the public to the end.
Unstoppable staying power ...more
Bay mare born 1997, by Rhythm-Romanee Conti
Top-class staying mare whose eight wins included four Group Ones in Australia.
At three, after three wins at home, she scored storming wins in the Doomben Roses and Queensland Oaks in Brisbane. At four she won the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups of 2001 and The BMW the following autumn.
Raced by Pencarrow Stud Ltd, trained Sheila Laxon, usually ridden by Australian Scott Seamer.
One of the greatest racing records in NZ history ...more
More than 70 years after he ran his last race, the winning sequence of 19 which Gloaming shared with his great contemporary Desert Gold remains the New Zealand record. But for an unexpected defeat by Thespian – a horse he trounced at his next start – as a six-year-old, Gloaming would in fact have won 29 in a row. By the end of his marvellous career, Gloaming had raced 67 times, won 57 times, run nine seconds – and taken no part in the only race in which he was unplaced. Trained by Dick Mason for a new patron, the Canterbury station-holder George Dean Greenwood, Gloaming (The Welkin-Light) was taken back to Australia, where he was bred, to have his first start – and won the Chelmsford Stakes, as a maiden, by eight lengths! Next up he won the AJC Derby; then he returned home to win the New Zealand and Great Northern Derbys as well, his feat of winning three Derbys unprecedented at that time. His class thoroughly established, Gloaming was to cross and re-cross the Tasman no fewer than 15 times over the next four seasons. On separate visits to Australia, year after year, he met and matched the latest champ… Poitrel and Beauford, Heroic and Ballymena. Gloaming closed out his career at Hastings, the course which was to launch latter-day champions 75 years on. The oldtimer fought a memorable match race with a brilliant sprinter named The Hawk, then a six-year-old at the height of his powers – and beat him.
Race Record:
67 starts, 57 wins, 9 seconds

Horlicks, by Three Legs out of Malt, won 17 of her 40 starts, chalking up six Group One victories in three countries. She won both the million-dollar DB Draught Classic and the New Zealand Stakes twice.
In the spring of 1989 she won the weight-for-age Mackinnon Stakes at Flemington and followed it up three weeks later with a win in the $3 million Japan Cup (2400m) in world record time for trainers Dave and Paul O'Sullivan.
She was retired from racing the following year, with career earnings of $A3.2 million.
A super mare on the track, Horlicks later became a very successful broodmare. At stud she left 13 foals with Brew, the winner of the Melbourne Cup in 2000, the most notable. One of her daughters, Latte, produced the 2007 AJC Australian Derby winner Fiumicino
Horlicks died peacefully at Cambridge stud in August 2011 and is buried at her owner breeder Graham de Gruchy's Hawke's Bay property.
One of NZ's greatest racehorses ...more
During a career constantly impeded by unsoundness, Kindergarten (Kincardine-Valadore) raced till he was nine but had just 35 starts. He won 25 of them, including among his wins three of the greatest weight-carrying performances of his or any era.
Unarguably the best three-year-old of 1940-41, when he won the last 10 of his 13 starts, Kindergarten lined up at that age in the ARC Easter Handicap. No respecter of youth, handicapper Frank McManemin gave the three-year-old 9st 11lb (62kg). That was 16lb – about seven kg – above weight-for-age. Near the back of a capacity field in the running, Kindergarten stormed home to win the big mile by a head. Two days later he won the Great Northern St Leger at a mile and three-quarters (2800m). After breaking down in Australia and missing most of his four-year-old season, Kindergarten was patched up to tackle the Easter again, this time with 10st 3lb (65kg). Again he came from near last to win. In the spring of 1942, a Melbourne Cup bid was planned for a five-year-old Kindergarten. But the dangers and uncertainties of wartime shipping kept him at home and, on a seemingly light preparation, he tackled the Auckland Cup instead under 10st 2lb (64.5kg). In the hands of Bert Ellis, Kindergarten took the lead under his big weight five furlongs (1000m) from home, dropped the bit again, then accelerated away in the straight to win by five lengths.
Though Kindergarten never got the chance to prove his class in Australia, the opinion held of him by the Melbourne handicapper can be ascertained. For three successive Melbourne Cups he accorded Kindergarten top weight at 9st 10lb, 9st 13lb and 10st 6lb respectively. Let 30-year handicapper Frank McManemin pass verdict: "The best horse I ever handicapped was Kindergarten. Not only that, he was the best horse I have ever seen."

Chestnut thunderbolt who's short career was outstanding ...more
The New Zealand record-winning sequence of 19, shared jointly by Desert Gold and Gloaming, has survived from the 1920s through into the 21st Century. It came under its greatest threat from a chestnut colt named Mainbrace, at the end of the 1940s.
By a young sire named Admiral's Luck, who sadly died after only four seasons at stud, from Maneroo, Mainbrace was raced in partnership by his dam's owner, Dr Thomas Fraser, and Bob Nolan, who handled her matings.
Beaten in his debut, Mainbrace won his next six starts as a two-year-old. Not fully wound up for his three-year-old debut, Mainbrace was beaten by The Unicorn in a sprint at Avondale before turning the tables in the Avondale Guineas. And that sprint defeat proved significant. Mainbrace won his next 15 starts as a three-year-old, all the classics included (except the New Zealand Derby at Riccarton which, in his absence, The Unicorn won), and his first two starts as a four-year-old.
Then, with a winning sequence of 17 and the Desert Gold-Gloaming record at his mercy, he became so cramped and awkward in his action he had to be retired. Only after his death, following a pretty neglected stud career, did an autopsy reveal the all but blocked hind-leg artery which had restricted the flow of blood.
Had Mainbrace not run second in that first three-year-old outing, he would have won 24 on end. He won from six furlongs (1200m) to the St Leger mile and three-quarters (2800m). The remarkable thing was that he was seldom even given a contest. If a three-year-old is markedly superior to his age group, one might suspect it was a moderate crop (though Mainbrace's early adversary The Unicorn was no moderate).
But Mainbrace was just as superior to the older horses he regularly beat at weight-for-age. His winning margins in his last five starts as a three-year-old totalled 23 ¾ lengths. On consecutive days, he won the Great Northern St Leger, at a mile and three-quarters, and then the seven-furlong wfa Great Northern Challenge Stakes – by six lengths! Mainbrace and his young rider Grenville Hughes were pop stars to a generation of racegoers.
A bay/brown gelding he was foaled in 1993, by Zabeel-Benediction and bred by Windsor Park Stud in Cambridge. He was rated by Hall of Fame studmaster Patrick Hogan as the best racehorse sired by Hall of Fame sire – Zabeel.
Might and Power was an outstanding front-running galloper winning 5 Group Ones at 4 years including the Caulfield-Melbourne Cup double. At 5 years he won four of his six only starts including the W.S. Cox Plate.
From 33 career starts he won 15 including 7 Group Ones and over A$5.2 million. Might and Power was raced by Nick Moraitis of Sydney, trained by Jack Denham and mostly ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Jim Cassidy and Brian York.

O'Reilly was a Super Star Racehorse and a Super Star Sire.
O'Reilly is a brown horse foaled 1993, by Last Tycoon-Courtza. He was named after the Irish industrialist and famous rugby player Tony O'Reilly. His dam Courtza won the world's premier 2 year old race - the Group I Golden Slipper in 1989 when ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Shane Dye.
O'Reilly had a brief but spectacular race career, winning four of only six starts including Group Ones Bayer Classic and Telegraph Handicap before running 2nd in the Australian Guineas.
He was awarded Horse of Year & Champion Sprinter-Miler titles for the 1996-97 racing season.
O'Reilly retired to Waikato Stud in 1997. To date he has won four NZ General Sire Premierships and is third on all-time sire of stakes winners behind the Hall of Fame stallions Sir Tristram and Zabeel.
O'Reilly was owned and raced by the Chittick family of Waikato Stud. He was trained by Hall of Famer trainer Dave O'Sullivan and Paul O'Sullivan and was ridden in all his races by Hall of Fame jockey Lance O'Sullivan.
The most famous horse ever to race in Australia ...more
The last generation who saw him race, even as youngsters, are pretty much gone now. Yet the big chestnut gelding's name still has power. The son of Night Raid and Entreaty, who lifted hearts and spirits during the depths of the Depression years, remained a measuring stick long after his deeds had passed into history. Phar Lap won 37 of his 51 starts, ran three seconds and two thirds. Most of his misses were at the outset of his career, before trainer Harry Telford got "the hang of him" and his capacity for work. Phar Lap developed from a wonderful three-year-old into a virtually unbeatable older horse. Consider his four-year-old spring in 1930. In four days at the Melbourne Cup carnival, he successively won the Melbourne (now MacKinnon) Stakes, Melbourne Cup, Linlithgow Stakes (then at a mile, or 1600m) and the C.B.Fisher Plate, at a mile and a half (2400m). Before that he'd won five races in Sydney, plus the Cox Plate. Nightmarch, who'd beaten a hard-pulling, three-year-old Phar Lap in the previous year's Melbourne Cup, trailed him home four times in the chestnut's four-year-old spring campaign in Sydney before his connections gave up and brought Nightmarch home. Nightmarch, who'd been unable to keep Phar Lap warm in Sydney, won the New Zealand Cup under 9st 6lb (about 60kg). Four days earlier Phar Lap had cruised to a three-length victory in the Melbourne Cup under 9st 12lb (nearly 63kg). Though he never raced in New Zealand, Phar Lap drew discerning eyes to the land of his birth and undoubtedly contributed to the progress of the then fledgling National Yearling Sale at Trentham, from whence he'd been purchased for 160 guineas. The first horse to earn the indisputable "champion" tag in Australian racing, Carbine, was bred in New Zealand. So, 40 years later, was the next, Phar Lap. And so, nearly 30 years on, was the next: Tulloch.
Race Record:
51 starts, 37 wins, 3 seconds, 2 thirds

The 1st horse to win the spring grand slam ...more
Controversy was to haunt Rising Fast for much of his career, yet this son of Alonzo and Faster was undoubtedly one of the best stayers and middle-distance gallopers that ever graced the Australasian turf. Bought at a Trentham sale by a Whakatane accountant, Leicester Spring, Rising Fast was put with Cambridge trainer Jack Winder and, after a quiet three-year-old season which yielded four wins and a couple of placings from eight starts, he was set as a four-year-old for the Royal Auckland Cup of 1953. Then trainer, jockey and indeed the horse were put out after he was allegedly not ridden on his merits in the Te Awamutu Cup. And, though the horse was reinstated on appeal, he never raced in New Zealand again. Trained now by Ivan Tucker, Rising Fast was set for the 1954 Melbourne Cup. He won three of five lead-up races in Melbourne, then successively won the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate, MacKinnon Stakes and, under 9st 5lb (59.5kg), the Melbourne Cup. For good measure, on the final day at Flemington, he added the C.B.Fisher Plate to his tally.
The hoodoo struck again when Rising Fast returned home and Ivan Tucker was suspended after one of his team returned a positive test. Rising Fast was sent to Melbourne trainer Fred Hoysted. His lead-up form in the spring of 1955 wasn't as good as the previous year – until he charged to victory under 9st 10lb (61.5kg) in the Caulfield Cup. Rising Fast was an odds-on favourite to complete the never-achieved "double-double" – two Caulfield Cups and two Melbourne Cups. He struck all the interference going in a rough-house Melbourne Cup and still went under by only three-quarters of a length to Toporoa, carrying 34lb less.
Toporoa's rider, Neville Sellwood, was afterwards suspended for two months for failing to prevent Toporoa boring out on the champion. Rising Fast tried the Melbourne Cup one more time, the following year, and ran a valiant fifth under 10st 2lb (64.5kg).

New Zealand's mare of the world ...more
This wonderful mare captured the hearts of the public at the beginning of the new millennium like few other horses in post-War years. Tough-minded if not bloody-minded, she had a physique to match and was able to race competitively at top level from two to seven years. Sunline raced 45 times for 32 wins, eight seconds and two thirds and an Australasian record $11 million in stakes. She raced in four countries and won in three; she twice won the Southern Hemisphere's weight-for-age championship, the Cox Plate (on the second occasion by a stunning seven lengths) and was narrowly beaten by Northerly going for a third. She twice won Sydney's toughest "metric mile," the Doncaster Handicap, and was second on another occasion when conceding 6kg to her conqueror, Over. Her optimum distance was probably 1400m, at which she was unbeaten, yet she was able to stretch her high cruising speed to the 2040m of the Cox Plate, and to hold out the redoubtable Fairy King Prawn in the tough Hong Kong International Mile. At home, where her races were usually in preparation for another overseas campaign, she was unbeaten in seven starts. Sunline was twice elected Australian Racehorse of the Year and four times New Zealand Horse of the Year. In 1999 the authoritative Timeform publication named her the best turf mare in the world.

Tommy Smith's universal yardstick for equine excellence ...more
In the inaugural series of Hall of Fame inductees, two thoroughbreds that raced almost entirely outside their country of birth made the list. Carbine, who raced in New Zealand only as an unbeaten two-year-old and achieved fame across the Tasman, and Phar Lap, who was sold at Trentham as a yearling and never raced in his homeland, were champions of such quality that it was felt they deserved to be honoured by the country where they were bred, born and raised.
One other New Zealand-bred horse, in the opinion of the HOF Historical Committee, also merits that special recognition.
Tulloch, the swampy-backed little colt who attracted the attention of top Sydney trainer Tommy Smith – and not many others – at the 1956 Trentham yearling sale, had that extra dimension, that near-freakish ability, which stamps the handful of greats.
He won 36 of his 53 starts, was only once out of the money and set a then Australasian stake-earning record of 108,293 pounds, a record for 11 years. Yet he lost nearly two years of his career – his four- and five-year-old seasons when he should have been at his prime – through a debilitating and recurrent stomach illness which nearly killed him.
You probably had to be around in the late 1950s to appreciate the excitement, emotion and controversy Tulloch aroused.
He was a star at two years, his defeat of the Victorian champion Todman in what was virtually a match race, the AJC Sires' Produce Stakes, a sensation. Todman, winner of the inaugural Golden Slipper, turned the tables at a shorter distance a week later but they never met again, Todman breaking down as a three-year-old. Meanwhile Tulloch made non-stop headlines through the first half of his three-year-old season, not only for the quality of his form (his wins in the AJC Derby, Caulfield Guineas and Caulfield Cup were all stunning performances) but for his highly controversial scratching from the Melbourne Cup. Tommy Smith rated the colt a Melbourne Cup certainty but was unable to persuade his sick and elderly owner, Evelyn Haley, to start him after a media campaign, spearheaded by the Ezra Norton-owned newspapers, against the "cruelty" of running a three-year-old in the two-mile Cup.
In Tulloch's absence, Straight Draw won the 1957 Melbourne Cup. Who owned him? Newspaper tycoon Ezra Norton. Who ran second to Straight Draw, beaten only a neck? The three-year-old Prince Darius, whom Tulloch beat by eight lengths in the VRC Derby and, in the autumn, by 20 lengths in the AJC St Leger.
Robbed of his four-year-old season by the recurring gastroenteritis, Tulloch resumed in the autumn as a five-year-old and won each of his five comeback starts. The first of these involved a hard-slugging stretch-long duel with Victorian weight-for-age star Lord which Tulloch won by a short head. Not bad for a horse considered by most to never quite regain, after that long illness, the height of his three-year-old powers.
Tulloch was handicapped at top weight for four Melbourne Cups and raced in it only once, in the 1960 Centenary Cup (after winning the Cox Plate and Mackinnon Stakes). It was the only time he was unplaced, and Neville Sellwood received no plaudits for his ride. Under 10st 1lb, Tulloch was 25 lengths off the leaders at the half-mile and he made ground for seventh behind longshot New Zealand mare Hi Jinx. Tulloch wound up his career in Queensland, where he won the O'Shea Stakes and Brisbane Cup and was given an emotional farewell by a 33,000-strong Brisbane crowd.

Conversations about public school budgets have always been heated. In recent years, the fervor has intensified and few districts, including Okaloosa County, have walked away unscathed.
Conversations about public school budgets have always been heated. In recent years, the fervor has intensified and few districts, including Okaloosa County, have walked away unscathed.
In the time since the bottom fell out of the economy, the Okaloosa County School Board has been forced to approve deep cuts time and time again. With most of the layoffs and pay cuts behind it now, one of the most hotly debated budget issues left in Okaloosa County Schools has become the discretionary dollars set aside for school board members to use for capital projects as they see fit.
Most often, principals take a request to a board member who, in turn, decides whether or not it�s valid. If it is, it eventually ends up on a meeting agenda and gets funded only after being approved by at least three members of the board.
If it�s not, board members said, often the need goes unfunded.
Costs and purchases
School Board members� discretionary capital dollars were established in the early 2000s. The funds were the brainchild of the veteran board member Rodney Walker, who came up with the idea after an eye-opening visit to Laurel Hill School.
On that particular day, Walker was walking through the rural school when he noticed the curtain on the stage in the gym was rotting away.
He asked the principal about it and was told that although the curtain was in one of the school�s most heavily used rooms, there was no money in the budget to replace it.
That�s when Walker proposed discretionary spending to his fellow board members. At the time, the district had money and board members each received $150,000 to allocate at their discretion.
That first year, Walker used about $17,000 of his to replace the curtain at Laurel Hill School and has never regretted it.
�It is the focal point of the little town,� he said.
Through the years the amount each board member is given has varied, but it�s remained a constant piece of the capital outlay budget since it started in the 2001-02 school year.
In the years since the fund was established, the district has allocated $6.5 million for discretionary spending for school board members, according to Rita Scallan, the chief financial officer for the district.
That breaks down to $1.3 million per board member through the current school year, she said.
Items purchased with the funding have changed through the years, but most recently have been awarded to schools for technology purchases. At their latest meeting, board members agreed to help an elementary school purchase a cart filled with laptops that can travel from classroom to classroom, and a K-12 school received projectors and interactive white boards.
This year each board member has $75,000 to divide as he or she sees fit.
According to longtime high school principal Cindy Gates, the money has proven a blessing. As more and more of a school�s budget is tied up in salaries, little money is left for minor facility repairs or technology purchases.
Gates said before she approaches a board member for a potential purchase, she researches and prioritizes the school�s needs.
�I�ve always tried to use it as close as I can to the classroom,� the Choctawhatchee High School principal said. �(And) I think (principals have) gotten really resourceful, but it�s tough.�
Walker, like Gates, thinks discretionary dollars for board members still make sense, but others have their reservations.
�No big picture�
When Melissa Thrush was elected to the School Board in 2010, she didn�t hesitate to ask questions or raise concerns about the board�s discretionary spending habits.
She argued that although the funding might be valid, it would behoove the board to take a step back and ensure it was distributing the money in the best way possible, especially in such difficult economic times.
To explore the issue further, she started sorting through the history of how the board was allocating the money. Once she had looked at the data in Excel, she discovered inequities, she said.
�The way the system is, the squeaky wheel gets the grease,� Thrush said. �Three of (the board members) are giving money to the same school and no one is keeping track of it.�
Take area bands at the four big high schools, for example.
Between 2009 and 2011, board members designated more than $268,000 of their discretionary dollars towards band expenses.
Thrush said her problem isn�t in funding bands. She agreed they�re an important program, but questioned whether the district is doing all it can to reduce unnecessary spending in the music programs.
For example, the bands could all set up an exchange program that would allow them to share unused instruments, rather than purchase new ones and have duplicates sitting around at another area school.
�I�m saying, let�s get with the bands and see what everybody�s issues are,� Thrush said.
She also wants to examine discretionary spending on sports and other miscellaneous programs as the district deals with an ever-decreasing capital outlay budget, which is intended to handle facility maintenance, technology, athletics and a few other areas.
�It just boggles my mind,� Thrush said. �There�s no big picture. ... There�s no future planning.�
Her proposal, which she has now made twice without garnering the support of even one other board member, proposes the board rethink how it spends discretionary dollars or completely eliminate them and roll the money back into the capital budget.
Up until the current school year, Thrush refused to spend any of her discretionary dollars. She started giving out the money based on enrollment numbers at schools in her district this fall after one of the other board members said he�d make a motion to give her money to Walker to distribute if she didn�t.
She said she�s not satisfied with her system but has tried to find the fairest way possible to allocate the money.
�It�s not that things that we�re purchasing are frivolous or not necessity. ... I don�t feel as a board member that I�m presented sufficiently with information regarding our capital needs in order to make sound decisions,� she said.
An uncertain future
Through the years, board members have each developed their own ways of giving out money. Cathy Thigpen restricts her money to the north end schools she represents, while Walker is willing to give his money to any school in the district.
Vice-chairwoman Cindy Frakes said she�s tried several different methods throughout the years and ultimately settled on a distribution policy somewhere between Walker and Thigpen.
The bulk of her money is divided between the eight schools she represents, but if a need arises at another school, she�s also been known to help out.
Before she OKs any funding proposal, Frakes expects principals to have researched their request thoroughly, and even then she takes a final look to make sure it�s a necessity.
If the need clearly exists, she does what she can to make it happen.
�The majority of mine has been to technology and actual capital improvements,� Frakes said of her discretionary money. �(But) some of these things are quality-of-life issues.�
For example, this month she agreed to provide some of the money for a painting project at Choice High School and Technical Center. The expense, she said, might seem odd given the new technology requirements coming down from the state department of education, but it�s an important expense.
�What the public expects is for us to have clean, well-manicured schools,� she said. �The principals don�t have the money to maintain their property (in their budgets).�
The key to the discretionary dollars, both she and Walker said, is that it makes sure little projects don�t fall through the cracks or get put on the backburner while more urgent projects are tackled by the district.
�If you want to give everybody everything at the same time, you�re going to never do nothing,� he said. �(With discretionary dollars) we�re still able to do the small things that are really critical.�
But nothing is a given in this system. Not every request gets funding and that trend likely will continue into the future.
Walker and Frakes say the bottom line is that the discretionary funding is important.
�We have to keep an eye on the fact that every penny of this money goes to benefit students,� Frakes said. �It keeps our schools afloat.�
But the future of the funding is somewhat uncertain. Right now, the district has about $1.5 million in the capital budget not already tied up in board discretionary dollars, major technology projects, maintenance and debt, Scallan said.
That leftover amount is intended to handle any unexpected capital item emergencies, she added.
Walker said the $1.5 million cushion isn�t ideal, but for now the $375,000 set aside for school board discretionary funds remains as valuable today as it was in the past.
�To me, it�s worked well,� he said. �But it may be that we have to discontinue it (in the future).�

Submarine FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How many submarines do we have?
The present complement of submarines within the RN is; 4 in number SSBNs, based at Faslane on the West coast of Scotland, approx. 25 miles from Glasgow, and 11 SSNs split between Faslane and Devonport in Plymouth.
Q. What are the differences between classes of submarines?
"Hunter killer" submarines (designated SSNs by the RN) are designed to pursue and attack enemy submarines and surface ships using torpedoes. They are also able to carry "cruise" missiles for use against shore-based targets. This type of submarine is used to conduct surveillance and intelligence gathering tasks as well as other types of classified operations. Ballistic missile submarines (designated SSBNs) carry long-range nuclear warhead missiles. They roam the oceans of the globe avoiding contact, to ensure that their anonymity is not compromised. The ability to strike at any time has ensured that deterrent value of SSBNs, or "Bombers", has proved effective in preventing attack on the UK.
Q. How big is a submarine?
An SSN is approx. 85 x 10 x 10 metres and weighs in the region of 5000 tons when submerged. An SSBN is larger at 150 x 13 x 12 metres and weighs in excess of 15000 tons. A London double-decker bus is 10 x 5 x 3 metres and weighs about 4 tons
Q. How deep can a submarine go?
A submarine can dive to depths in excess of 250 metres. The actual depth is classified.
Q. How fast can a submarine go?
Modern nuclear submarines can travel at speeds in excess of 25 miles per hour and can maintain this speed indefinitely, so allowing the submarine the ability to go anywhere in the world quickly and quietly.
Q. Where are submarines built?
At the present time all UK submarines are built at Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria, and over 50% of all UK submarines have been built there. In the past submarines have been built in Birkenhead Merseyside, and on the Clyde in Scotland
Q. Why are submarines painted black?
It helps them to hide. If you were to look down at the sea from above, then it would appear as a dark depth, so it is sensible to paint the submarine a colour that will blend into the background.
Q. What weapons are on a submarine?
Submarines carry torpedoes, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Torpedoes are for use against other ships or submarines in time of war. Cruise missiles allow the submarine to target sites that are several hundred miles from the nearest sea. Ballistic missiles can be fired at targets that are many thousands of miles from the sea, and are used as a deterrent, to prevent other countries from waging war on Great Britain.
Q. How many missiles and torpedoes are on a submarine?
The exact amount of missiles and torpedoes carried by UK submarines is classified, however each submarine will carry sufficient weapons to carry out its task.
Q. What types of mission can submarines carry out?
Depending upon whether it is a hunter killer or a missile submarine, a submarine is capable of performing many important tasks. Sea Control (denying the ocean to hostile naval forces through ant-submarine and anti-surface warfare) Anti-Submarine Warfare (detecting and destroying hostile submarines) Anti-Surface Warfare (detecting and destroying hostile surface ships) Strategic Deterrence (launching retaliatory strikes against any nation attacking the UK with nuclear weapons) Landing Special Forces (performing covert infiltration of hostile regions by commando forces) Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (listening for hostile electronic communications and information) Carrier Group Support (providing intelligence and undersea protection for aircraft carriers and their support vessels) Cruise Missile Strike Capability (striking ground targets with conventionally armed warheads)
Q. How long can you stay underwater?
Nuclear Submarines are able to produce their own indefinite supply of air, water and power for driving the submarine forward. It's only limitation for staying submerged is the amount of food on board, or if they sustain a major defect.
Q. How do submarines dive and surface?
To dive or submerge the submarine, valves on the top of the very large ballast tanks are opened. This allows the air in the tanks to escape; at the bottom of the tanks are holes that allow the seawater to flood in. As water is heavier than air, the submarine becomes heavier and therefore sinks in a controlled manner. To surface the submarine, the valves on the top of the ballast tanks are shut, high-pressure air is pumped into the tanks and the water is forced out through the holes at the bottom. The tanks fill with air and "float" the submarine to the surface.
Q. How old is the Commanding Officer on a submarine?
On average the Commanding Officer of a submarine will be between 35 and 45.
Q. How many people are there on a submarine?
Crew size depends on the class or type of submarine, but a typical British submarine would have a crew of around 120 officers and men, which compares to the original crew of the first British submarine that had a crew of 8
Q. What does it look like through the periscope?
Just as is seen in films, there are dashed lines on the eyepiece of a modern periscope, which aid the operative in gauging distances. However, a modern day submarine periscope is much more than just an eye on the outside world. They are more often then not fitted with TV cameras, radio aerials and other electronic gadgets.
Q. How do the crew receive medical attention?
All submarines carry qualified medical ratings and there are standard operating procedures for any medical emergencies that are beyond their skills. If the submarine is operating in areas that make it unsuitable to evacuate casualties, then they will embark a submarine qualified doctor.
Q. What does it feel like to be on a submarine?
Although it is difficult for most people to imagine living on a submarine, challenging submarine living conditions actually build strong fellowship among crewmates. The crew is highly motivated and quickly adapts to the conditions. It is a busy life of watches, work and exercise drills. There are four meal times per day with breakfast, lunch, supper and a midnight meal for the watch changeover. Sleep is taken during the off-watch periods, and submariners soon become adept at dropping off to sleep as soon as their heads touch the pillow. Submarines are normally quieter than their surface counterparts, and tend to be more stable due to the depth. The air is cleaner than the outside air and many submariners notice the strong smell of the ocean when the hatches are opened after a long spell at sea.
Q. What does the crew do in their spare time?
Typically, the submarine day is divided into 4 x 6-hour slots or watches. The majority of the submarine crew is divided into 2 watches, which will spend 6 hours "on-watch" followed by a period of 6 hours "off-watch". This cycle is repeated for the entire time that the submarine is at sea. When "on-watch", the crew will be actively operating their assigned equipment. When "off-watch" the crew will basically eat and sleep. Obviously reading, TV and studying for exams will also take up time. There are also limited facilities for keeping fit, with most submarines carrying an exercise bike, rowing machine and an assortment of free weights.
Q. What do you eat?
Submariners eat everyday food like you would find on any table in a British home. Imagine shopping for 120 men for 6 months and planning every meal in that time! The fresh fruit, vegetables, and dairy products don't last if the submarines programme takes it away from port for any length of time, but the chefs on board have become masters of creativity and invention. Typical meals would be full cooked "English" or cereals for breakfast; filled rolls, burgers or pizza for lunch, and a chicken, pork or mince dish for supper. Every week there will be a "special" menu.
Q. What is sonar?
SONAR (Sound Operated aid to Navigation And Ranging) is the system that provides a submarine with its underwater ears and eyes. It is used to detect other ships and submarines, undersea mountains, and can tell the submarine what is happening in the alien environment around it. There are two types of sonar: Active and Passive. When operating in the Active mode, a submarine will send out a pulse of sound into the water and listen for the echo of that sound to return but this is rarely used. Passive Sonar operates by listening for the sounds emitted by other vessels and then carries out analysis of these sounds to determine the characteristics of that vessel. Skilled passive Sonar operators are able to determine the number of propellers fitted, the number of blades on each propeller, and from this, name the individual class of vessel.
Q. How far away can you hear other ships?
Using sonar it is possible to hear other ships many miles away while underwater. If the other vessel is very noisy then the distance can be in excess of 75 miles. Sonar reception is very dependent on water temperature, other activity in your area and the weather on the surface.

how to get rid of periodontal disease at home
Gum Disease is caused by a build up of plaque on the teeth. Plaque is that disgusting, yellow stuff on your teeth that is full of bacteria. It is essential that you floss and brush your teeth everyday to remove the plaque.
Besides plaque, your lifestyle can cause gum disease. Your body's immunity system must be strong. Exercising throughout the day and eating healthy is the best way to keep your immunity strong. But if you are unable to exercise throughout the day and a healthier menu is not available to you, you should try to stay away from sugars and starches. We all know sugar is bad for our teeth but starchy foods such as french fries feed the acids that eat away at your teeth's enamel. Also, it is important to make sure you get enough sleep every night. Also stress can contribute to a lower immunity level.
Unfortunately for all you women out there, you all are at a higher risk for gum disease. Due to changes in hormones during puberty, menopause and pregnancy, the tissues in your body become more sensitive and that includes your gum tissue. Also as reported in the Journal of Periodontology, there is a risk that women who are pregnant and have some form of Periodontal Disease are more likely give birth pre-term or the babies may be born with low birth weight.
One of the more significant causes of gum disease is also the easiest to avoid. Tobacco, both smoking and chewing is horrible for your health. Besides causing cancer, lung disease and heart disease, tobacco directly affects the gum and lead to gum disease. The best way to avoid it is to never start, but if you already smoke, it is never too late to quit.
If you diagnosed with Periodontal/Gum Disease, your oral hygienist may suggest a form of periodontal surgery if your Gum Disease has progressed to a more severe stage.
But if you are diagnosed with a minor case of Gum Disease, more commonly referred to as Gingivitis, re-evaluating your daily oral hygiene routine may take care of it. Making sure you brush and floss 3 times a day and cleaning your tongue about 2 times a day can take care of it. But of course, it is always best to talk to your oral hygienist.
Some early signs of Gingivitis consist of puffy red gums, bleeding gums, a metallic taste in your mouth, significantly when you wake up, and bad breath. A good treatment for Gingivitis is the OraSweet Flossing Toothbrush, the only toothbrush that is patented with 2 sets of bristles. One of course brushes your teeth and removes the plaque that causes Gum Disease. The second set is what makes our toothbrush unique. The second set is a longer, thinner bristle that is able to go in between your teeth and underneath the gum line, essentially flossing your teeth. By no means does this replace flossing, but it is made to enhance your flossing. Using this, you will notice how much healthier your mouth looks.
This website will offer up a couple (4!) inexpensive ebooks that tell you how to cure or stop periodontal and gum disease... something my dentists told me could not be done! But they are wrong! You can STOP periodontal and gum disease! My 4 inexpensive ebooks show you how. THE BEST $9.75 YOU EVER SPENT!

Rituxan for Chronic GVHD
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My brother has chronic GVHD and all other treatments have failed so far. His doctor now has decided to try Rituximab. What can you tell me about this?
Deana Potts, MSN, CRNP, Advanced Practice Oncology Nurse, responds:
B-cells and T-cells are part of the immune system. GVHD, or graft versus host disease, is caused by donor T-cells that see the recipient as foreign and thus attack the recipient. Rituximab is a medication that is actually directed against B-cells. It is believed that you need B cells in order to activate T cells. So by removing the B cells with Rituximab, the T cells become less functional and therefore may mount less of a graft versus host response.
Rituximab is being used in limited cases, and should be considered somewhat "investigational" in this setting. Although it is safe, the response rate is largely unknown. It is a reasonable alternative when traditional therapies are not working.

FX has released a series of chilling trailers and one-sheets to promote the new season of Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story: Coven which features the ferocious trio of Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates and Jessica Lange. The series is currently filming in New Orleans. The new season premieres October 9 on FX.
Some background from The Hollywood Reporter:
"Coven stars Jessica Lange as a witch named Fiona; Kathy Bates plays historical personage Madame LaLaurie, a Louisiana-born socialite and serial killer who kept slaves bound in her home; and Angela Bassett portrays voodoo expert/cult leader Marie Laveau. Coven tells the secret history of witches and witchcraft in America. More than 300 years have passed since the turbulent days of the Salem witch trials, and those who managed to escape are now facing extinction."
Above is the brand new poster of Bassett as the voodoo queen Marie Laveau. If you aren't familiar with her story ...
According to the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum, Laveau was born a free person of color and between the 1820s and 1860s became known as the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans. Laveau could reportedly grant wishes and heal people. Her youngest daughter, Marie Laveau II, is said to have succeeded her and led more elaborate prayers. When Laveau died on June 15, 1881, newspaper obituaries told varied stories about her life, with some saying she was a saint and others calling her a witch.
The museum reports that according folklore and traditions, she was a hairdresser, domestic informant, madame and blackmailer. She could "fix court cases and cheat the executioner," and used her powerful voodoo to cuase the deaths of at least one governor and one lieutenant governor.
Two new trailers have been released promoting Bassett's character, which is "only loosely based on the real Laveau," says the Academy Award-nominated actress. Also this week: An eerie main title sequence was released. You have to watch the titles very closely because "every frame is a clue for what the season will be," promises Ryan Murphy. Watch them all AFTER THE JUMP ...

I wrote about Eric May on Monday night, and he had a good performance. He scored 23 points, grabbed eight rebounds and dished seven assists. He also showed his versatility by defending point guard Cully Payne, shooting guard Devan Bawinkel and power forward Aaron Fuller.
I was most impressed with Fuller, who notched 27 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. He's stronger and more physical in the paint than last year. He also can shoot from the outside, hitting two three-pointers. Payne was up-and-down, scoring 22 points with eight assists. Bawinkel hit 4-of-6 shots — all three-point attempts — for 12 points. His style of game doesn't transition well to the up-and-down Prime Time League.
I spent only a few minutes at the other game, where Matt Gatens returned in solid fashion. He scored 32 points, grabbed six rebounds and directed his team to a 100-81 win. He told me afterward he felt fine just two weeks after an appendectomy.

Talk:Failed prophecy in the Bible
Text Taken from Website[edit]
Christhiru It's problematic to copy/paste the content from there into here. Typically, it's frowned upon to do that even with wikipedia. It would be better to simply link to that page, with a description here, perhaps with an excerpt, or additional commentary.
I think it's more the amount you took is excessive than the fact you're referencing other work, even if the source is cited.
--jt 13:03, 26 May 2011 (CDT)
- I'll take it down
- --[[User:Christhiru|christhiru]
- Well, I didn't mean you had to take it down entirely. It's still a valid topic.
- jt 14:57, 26 May 2011 (CDT)
what do you suggest?? -CHISTHIRU
My attempt[edit]
a) Yes, I know the text ought not to be quoted directly, maybe change will come;
b) I have a problem with a few of these being placed in this specific article, because they aren't necessarily clearly failed (yet) or even actual prophecies, but I suppose this is a work-in-progress. BronzeDome 05:20, 19 October 2011 (CDT)
Matthew fails x2[edit]
This is my first edit, but I felt with this being one of Matt's go-to's and highly relevant in a counter apologetic sense that the following are up-front on the list of failed prophecies:
Matthew 16:28 I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."
"brood of vipers tantrum" into: Matthew 23:36 I tell you the truth, all this will come upon this generation.
23:36 is improperly listed as 22:26 in the Skeptic's Annotated Bible.
Hopefully I did well! --FromHereOn 19:28, 8 October 2012 (CDT)

Autumn Chicken Pot Pie
From: National Chicken Council
Quick Facts
Servings: 6
Prep Time: 50 min.
Cook Time: 55 min.
Total: 1 hr. 45 min.
Few dishes are as homey as chicken pot pie. This version adds the autumn flavors of ginger and apples to the table.
- Dough1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp grated lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 3 Tbs cold water
- Filling2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup pearl onions
- 2 med carrots, cut into slices
- 1 med Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 Tbs butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbs lemon juice
- 1 Tbs fresh ginger, minced
- 1/2 tsp pepper, freshly ground
- 1/8 tsp salt
- DoughIn large bowl combine flour, ginger, lemon zest, and salt. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in 1/3 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of water over the mixture and toss with fork. The dough should be just barely moistened, enough to hold together when formed into a ball. Add more water if needed.
- Form the dough into a flat disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate while making the filling.
- FillingPreheat oven to 450°F.
- Drop pearl onions into boiling water for 30 seconds; drain, peel. Steam pearl onions and carrots until tender.
- In large saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk in flour and ginger until smooth.
- Reduce heat to low and gradually whisk in chicken broth. Stir in pearl onions, carrots, apples, cranberries, lemon juice, and chicken. Let simmer for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Season with salt and pepper. Spoon filling into deep, 10 inch ceramic or glass pie dish.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to a circle, about 12 inches in diameter. Lay the dough over the top of pie dish. Trim and crimp edges. Use a small knife to cut several slits in the center of pie (alternatively, make decorative cuts in pie crust before setting it on top of pie).
- Set the pie on a baking sheet and place in oven on middle rack. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 400°F and continue baking for additional 20 minutes, until pie bubbles around edges and top is nicely browned. Serve while piping hot.

Today I go over the install of a front mount hitch receiver mounted to a s10 ZR2 Blazer that is also the same for a Oldsmobile Bravada, GMC Sonoma pickup truck and a Jimmy SUV.
I purchased this model because it is a direct bolt up installation for the ZR2 since other brands like Curt hitch need to be modified and custom to work on a ZR2 S10. The Reese / Draw tite hitch is good quality and worked great. The hardware is typically included for vehicle that did not have tow hooks or a front skid and may require drilling in this case. Draw-tite part number is the same as the Reese receiver.
Draw-Tite 65004 hitch receiver. Having a front hitch allows you to move trailers around very easily with more control than a rear hitch. A front hitch allows you to use a winch on the front or rear of your vehicle and pull yourself out of a tight spot without problems. I do have a 9000 pound winch to use with a mounting bracket. The main purpose for me having the front receiver is to mount a snow plow that uses a 2 inch receiver to mount.
I can use the snow plow on the front or rear of the vehicle and there are no hydraulics to fail. If you have any questions please leave a comment or visit my website and submit questions and video ideas for me to grow my YouTube channel.

It's frustrating when you experience performance or stability problems while playing games on your Windows 10 device. For example, a game might freeze or stop responding unexpectedly. The solutions on this page can help resolve problems you may experience during gameplay on your Windows 10 device.
Sometimes a game can freeze or stop responding because of a temporary issue that you can fix by exiting and restarting the game.
Note If your game is crashing or not responding during start-up, skip this solution.
In the game itself, press the X at the top-right corner of the window to close it, and then restart the game.
Restarting your Windows 10 device resets anything running in the memory that can cause the game to freeze or stop responding. To restart your Windows 10 device, complete the following steps.
Note Make sure there's nothing open or unsaved before you continue, as this process will automatically close down any open apps.
Once your Windows 10 device has restarted, you can sign back in and restart your game.
If your game is freezing or not responding, there may be an update available for your Windows 10 device's hardware.
For more information on how to check your device for the latest software updates, including video drivers, see How to get software and driver updates for Windows 10.
Some games have specific minimum system requirements for your Windows 10 device to be able to play them seamlessly. If your game is freezing or not responding, verify that the device you're using can run the game without any problems.
For more information on how to check the system requirements for your game, see How to find out if a game will work on your Windows 10 device.
If your game requires an online connection, losing connectivity mid-game can result in problems playing the game. Usually, the game will let you know if it has lost network connectivity.
Here's how you can check whether you're still connected:
If your network does not appear as Connected, or if you're having connectivity problems, scroll to the bottom of the page and select Network and Sharing Center. From there, select Troubleshoot problems, and then follow the instructions.
Sometimes the performance and stability of gameplay can be affected by corrupted profile data on your Windows 10 device. To check your profile data, try playing the same game using a different account. Here's how:
Occasionally, game files become corrupted or altered if you have malware or are running a game modification on your device. If your game is freezing or not responding, uninstalling and reinstalling it will remove and replace the files that run the game.
To learn more about how to uninstall and reinstall games, follow the steps at How to uninstall and reinstall a game on Windows 10, and then try playing the game again.
Game developers can build game-specific security into their titles and enforce their community policies to help ensure fair and respectful gameplay. If you can no longer access a particular game, it may be the result of a game-specific enforcement or ban. Because every game is different, the method by which you are notified of a game ban varies by developer. For specific information about a game ban, contact the appropriate game developer or publisher.
If your game continues to freeze or stop responding, visit the Game titles page for a list of all game titles. If this is a Microsoft-published game, you can check for game-specific information, as well as links to the community pages for known service power cuts or sign-in issues. If this game was published by a third party, you'll find direct links to their service and community pages.
Thanks for your feedback!

Just to let you know, you stumbled on a forum of intelligent people--people who care more about arguments than criteria and "my IQ is higher than yours"--in short, people that know better. We're not going to fall for this crap, so don't even try pulling it. Try to understand--it's the argument itself, not who says it or how smart they are--that we're going to pay attention to and judge.JTankers wrote:It may be stumbled on, and a 'perfect score on a high school physics relativity test' 25 years ago may not sound very impressive to a physics grad student, nor an occasional perfect score on a general IQ test. But I am able to read and comprehend cosmological observation, it was just my hobby, now it is a focus.
Otto sounds a bit like Penrose or Wolfram when they stumble out of their domain--kind of whacky. In addition, he seems to fit the psychological profile of a doomsdayer. Hey, you asked for an opinion. Baldev I'm not sure about--haven't bothered, and haven't been convinced I should.What do you think of the safety arguments made by Professor Dr. Otto E. Roessler and theorist Dr. Raj Baldev.
Quite frankly, it is in fact important to consider doomsday scenarios--just because we haven't destroyed ourselves yet doesn't mean we won't (it's actually a fallacy to think otherwise). But it's also important to be sane in judging them.
In the words of the great, late Carl Sagan: "They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."It only took one Einstein alone to turn physics on its head after being rejected by physics academia. And Einstein is still considered the master of physics and I agree.
Right, but you're making the mistake of cherry picking fatality scenarios that you don't know about. They are possible scenarios, mind you, but possibility is irrelevant. The average person, and in particular you, does not appreciate the combinatorially huge number of things that are possible, and in particular, that are possible but not the case. This, however, doesn't help us to figure out whether or not we're on the verge of unknown doom, for if we are, the particular scenario, which may in fact be unimagined, would simply not be known. But this is, in fact, how you're arguing for it. It's a useless line of reasoning, and your presumably high IQ simply means you have no excuse for such sloppiness.We have not solved all mysteries of physics yet. If we have to scramble to prove safety with possibly only weeks for the rest of the world to review the results, in my mind this is reckless.
We don't want to know if it's possible we will blow up the world--because, quite frankly, we already know the answer. And the answer is, quite frankly, despite all the testing we will ever do--yes. It's possible. That doesn't help us.
What we want to know is if we are going to destroy the world. And we can't know this with certainty, but in reality, we don't really care about certainty. We care about whether or not it's probable--that is, likely, that we will destroy the world. So again, possibility--irrelevant. Likelihood--key.
How, then, are we to judge the safety of the thing? How do we judge likelihood that we will destroy the earth, when we're necessarily dealing with unknown physics (and we do in fact know our physics is incomplete)? Well, first off, we apply a bit of perspective. We're (inclusive in the sense of "humans") slamming particles around by injecting "massive" amounts of energy into them, so that we can study them. But how much energy are we talking about? 7 TeV?
That sounds like a lot, and in fact it is. But from a cosmological perspective, we're not even toddlers throwing rocks at ant beds. GRB080319B, less than a month ago, spewed out enough light that, despite the inverse square laws, was visible to the naked eye halfway across the universe. Supernova regularly produce explosions from octillions of tons of fuel. We're using magnets to sling a few particles together--something brand new, that we have never done before, but that's just us. We've got nothing on what Nature herself has done. (Edit: I mean specifically by new, that we do it at those particular energies, of course).
Mind you, these cosmological events are quite destructive, and we certainly wouldn't want to make a GRB at CERN. But not only has it happened before, it's happened in our neighborhood--that's how we get heavy elements in the first place. Surely if throwing a rock at an ant bed would result in matter engulfing black holes, an octillion tons of spent hydrogen fuel exploding into itself would have produced them in spades, and we wouldn't even be here. So despite the fact that neither I, nor anyone, really knows the exact physics of the situation, a reasonable sanity check against what we do know (and might I remind you--pulling the same tactics you used with Einstein versus Hawking--it's due to cosmology that we know our physics is incomplete) demonstrates to all people with a modicum of a sense of perspective, quite clearly, that we're not going to destroy ourselves with matter-erasers.
And you can even ignore the supernova phenomenon and just look at cosmic rays. They are made of all sorts of particles, and travel at all sorts of energies, including energies exceeding what we'll create at LHC. They hit earth all of the time. The theory of the naysayers, though, is that resulting particles travel too fast to do damage--fine. But remember, these particles don't just go through the earth--they exist in the cosmos. There's an entire solar system with billions of years of runtime in which these matter-destroying black holes could have formed by chance collisions that produce MBH's slow enough to get captured into an orbit. And even this isn't a full consideration--if these cosmic rays exist in the entire universe, they should be producing MBH's "cold" enough to be captured by our system everywhere--we just need one of these MBH's to float near us and start feeding.
This was the crux of what I was getting at somewhere near the bottom of page 1/top of page 2 of this thread--if these fears are realistic, we should be concerned about them not just from the LHC, but from Mother Nature herself.
Given that the sanity checks run against these scenarios establish real possibilities that such earth destroying constructs would be produced naturally, and that they may be a natural danger, and given that we don't see them, we can make a reasonable assumption that something's off. Whereas this could simply be that if we do the calculations they shouldn't really destroy us naturally, it's more reasonable to suspect that they simply don't occur.
When you start talking about physics experiments that Nature doesn't laugh at, then I'll start getting concerned about the unknown physics behind it. So long as we're throwing pebbles at ant beds, I'm not going to lose any sleep.

The Levy County Commission — absent one member due to sickness — unanimously approved a property tax of 8.01 mills on Monday evening and a budget of $61,235,783 for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1.
The final millage is the result of a compromise by the commission which voted last week to raise property assessments for fire and emergency medical services to $90 and $119, respectively, to cover the cost of operations and to end using property taxes to cover those operations.

I had a conversation with a friend, a few years ago, about storing a little extra food around the house in case of emergencies. We both agreed that emergencies happen that prevent us from getting food from the store. Earthquakes and hurricanes are big, grandiose examples of emergencies that shut down access to stores, but smaller emergencies like blizzards, or an identity thief emptying your bank account also happen all the time. As I said, she and I completely agreed that stuff happens.
I have a good variety of food on-hand, including everything from 45 pound pails of hard white wheat and popcorn, to canned soups and chilis. She knew I had a good variety, and said, "I'll be fine, too, if there is an emergency. I have five pounds of roasted peanuts. I'll just snack on those until I can get to the store."
