Lance Armstrong admits doping in Oprah interviewBy ANDY GOLDBERG
January 17. 2013 9:38PM
WASHINGTON -- Lance Armstrong admitted for the first time late Thursday that he had used banned substances to enhance his cycling performances.
The American cyclist answered "yes," when asked by Oprah Winfrey, whether he had used EPO, human growth hormones, blood transfusions and other banned substances to achieve his seven Tour de France Titles.
"I view this situation as one big lie that I repeated many times," he said.
He said it was impossible in his opinion to win the race without using illegal substances.

Random-Access Memory
Memory where software resides while it is running, along with the data it is using. Both the OS and application software use RAM.
RAM is a type of memory that is very fast, but is volatile, meaning all information is lost when electric power is removed. For this reason, it is useful only for temporary storage of data that requires fast access.
A device will typically have RAM and some kind non-volatile memory to store a copy of all software and data that needs to be kept when the device is powered off or that specific software is not running.
Devices with more RAM can run more complex software and/or more applications at one time.

Quick– describe this photo in under ten seconds:
Great, now I know you're human and you can recognize a smilingorca whale when you see one. But imagine if you were a Google bot – how would you have any idea what was in this photo? Until image recognition technology takes over (and it's already getting a little creepy, thank you Facebook), that's where image search optimization comes in.
You already know
that search engine optimization can go a long way toward increasing the number of people who find your site from organic searches. But the little sister of Google Web Search, aka Google Image Search, is tugging on your shirt hem and demanding some attention too. So while you're busy
KingRover Womens Zipper Ankle Boots Lace Up Platform High Heels PU Leather Booties Chunky Black y4LTbSu
, don't forget about your images. If you're an image-heavy website, this is especially applicable for you, so listen up close.
Here's the big picture: you have to help Google's bots understand what's in the photos on your site. With that in mind, here are our 7 tips for maximizing SEO for your images.
Images should not be given names such as wpd858932702.jpg. Use the name as an opportunity to inform Google about the subject of your image by incorporating relevant keywords. We named the photo above "Happy Orca Whale."
These are additional fields which you can use to tell Google about the subject of your image. You can re-use the keywords you used for the image name, or try to pursue other keywords in these fields. Alt text is what will appear for people using adaptive technology, like screen readers. It's also the title that will show when people hover over the image.
Google doesn't look at your image in isolation; it also looks at what page it's on, what keywords are in the page copy, what keywords are in the site URL, etc. Thus, it is important that there exists high-quality and relevant content around the image. Make sure to surround each image you use with some descriptive text — it's not only good for SEO, but it makes your site a whole lot more engaging.
Having big, important sites send traffic to your site is great for your domain authority and, therefore, great for your SEO. Providing high quality images to relevant Wikipedia pages is a nifty way to take advantage of their rankings. Since Google ranks images on the page copy that the image is located, having an image featured on Wikipedia or other well-trafficked photo-sharing sites helps signify to Google that the image is both relevant and credible.
The transgender coverage policy at Starbucks is a direct parallel to WPATH's international recommendations for trans healthcare.
After a year of working in tandem with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), Starbucks has announced a new benefits package that offers extensive coverage to trans employees.
The coffee company has included coverage for gender-reassignment surgeries in its employee health plan since 2012. But now, a six-page document titled Starbucks Transgender Medical Benefits, described in a on the company's website, lists lifetime coverage for everything from hair graft and voice therapy to facial feminization and breast augmentation — services considered vital for transgender healthcare but often listed as 'cosmetic' and not covered by health insurance.
"Last year, as a result of conversations with transgender partners who provided their feedback, Starbucks took a fresh look at the health care benefits in order to see where we could improve," said a Starbucks spokesperson in an email to them. on Tuesday. Starbucks refers to its employees as partners.
The transgender coverage policy at Starbucks is a direct parallel to WPATH's international recommendations for trans healthcare. And Starbucks is the first company in the world to approach WPATH about turning the organization's Standards of Care into corporate policy.
"Starbucks was not afraid to ask all the right questions and demand that people get the best possible care," said Jamison Green, former President of WPATH and current member of its executive committee, in an interview for the Starbucks website on Monday. "We produced a list of the most crucial benefits and those that are deemed problematic to insurance companies, such as facial feminization and electrolysis."
Green did not immediately respond to a request for further comment via email.
The company's Vice President of Benefits, Ron Crawford, said the yearlong effort began with trans employees who raised the issue of coverage.
"I view this as a diagnosis with a treatment path," Crawford said on the company website . "You have to think of it from an equity perspective."
The WPATH Standards of Care booklet is a 120-page list of recommendations for mental health and medical providers that serve adults, adolescents, and children. First published in 1979, it's now in its seventh revision, compiled and updated by over 30 doctors, medical and psychological professionals, and an international advisory board.
Each year, as part of its Corporate Equality Index survey, the Human Rights Campaign lists businesses that offer employees at least form of transgender-specific health coverage . In 2018, there are a record 759 businesses listed — up from less than 50 in 2009.
But rarely, if ever, has a corporate employer offered coverage that conforms to WPATH standards — a problem that starts with insurance companies that consider most transition care to be purely cosmetic. According to the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey , 55 percent of trans people who sought coverage for transition-related surgery were denied, and a quarter of people were denied coverage for hormones by their insurance providers.
In the interview posted on the Starbucks website Monday, Crawford said the company hopes to share the benefits policy it created in tandem with WPATH with any other employer that wants to provide more trans-inclusive coverage.
"Nobody else is doing this," said Crawford in the interview. "We would love to see more employers doing this."

In addition to being an administrative headache, the inability to locate terminated participants of qualified retirement plans can result in heightened legal risks, a recent blog post reminds readers.
The law firm of Bond, Schoeneck King in its post, "
Homyl PVC Thigh Hip Waders Boots Waterproof Hunting Fly Coarse Fishing Muck Waders 8sISqzjT
explains that a plan's inability to locate terminated participants can result in a breach of fiduciary duty under ERISA – as well as plan disqualification – despite well-intentioned efforts by plan sponsors.
The firm reviews the Department of Labor's (DOL) 2014 Field Assistance Bulletin regarding efforts that must be made to locate missing participants; it further warns that the agency, more recently, has reportedly become more aggressive in contesting administrators' actions regarding missing participants.
The post cites a 2017 letter by the American Benefits Council alleging that DOL regional offices have been taking more aggressive positions, asserting, among other things, that a plan administrator's failure to locate a missing participant is a fiduciary breach, even when the procedures have been followed.
RMD Failure
Moreover, the firm emphasizes that the inability to locate a participant "does not necessarily excuse" a plan's failure to complete a requirement minimum distribution and could jeopardize the plan's qualified status.
It points to an October 2017 IRS Employee Plans Examinations memorandum directing examiners not to challenge the qualified status of a plan for violating RMD requirements based on an inability to locate a terminated participant if the plan had taken certain steps, such as searching records of other employer plans, using a commercial locator service and attempting to contact by certified mail.
"Given the recent DOL and IRS focus on enforcement of this issue, retirement plan administrators should review their systems and procedures for maintaining and correcting participant and beneficiary contact information, and determine if they are adequate," the firm advises.
PSCA Urges Action
Similarly, the Plan Sponsor Council of America (PSCA), a part of the American Retirement Association, recently urged the DOL, Treasury Department and IRS to issue guidance on missing participants. PSCA's comments were in response to recent DOL enforcement activity, as well as a Government Accountability Office (GAO) request.
The organization reiterated recommendations it had proposed in April 2017, outlining 10 steps for locating missing participants for certain plans while continuing to meet fiduciary obligations and not putting a plan's qualified status in jeopardy.
"Although the DOL and IRS have, separately, issued guidance regarding the proper steps for plan sponsors to take to locate missing participants for certain plans, there is no guidance on missing participants that provides comprehensive, consistent guidance to plan sponsors," PSCA states. "As such, plan sponsors, especially small plan sponsors, are left to cobble together, and attempt to harmonize, the guidance issued by the two agencies."
PSCA also joined a letter to the DOL regarding this issue sent by a group of concerned trade organizations.

On Tuesday, state Department of Public Health officials said they are receptive to discussing changes to a teen sexual health website that some legislators criticize as graphic and crude. A group of state lawmakers has sent Gov. Deval Patrick a letter asking that state funding be cut for www.mariatalks.com. The independent AIDS Action Committee maintains the site with a $100,000 annual DPH grant.
The website features "Maria" and other invented teen and adult characters who discuss subjects including sex, STDs, pregnancy, birth control, and abortion. Critics object to the site's use of slang terms, its descriptions of sex acts, and the information it provides on abortion.
"Gov. Patrick, take down this website," Rep. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) said at a news conference attended by about 20 lawmakers from both parties. "This website describes abortion in an extremely insensitive manner, downplays the medical and psychological damages, and advises teenage girls on how to circumvent parental notification requirements," he said.
"The language that is used on this site is disgusting," said Rep. Elizabeth Poirier (R-North Attleborough).
Defending the website, Rep. Byron Rushing (D-Boston) said its information is useful, and it "speaks the language that teenagers speak."
A DPH statement said the agency is willing to meet with critics in the coming days and improve the site's content, if needed. However, the website's goal is to make accurate health information publicly available, and it remains "an important tool to help us do that," DPH said.
The site's supporters note that it includes a long section on abstinence, as well as information about adoption as an alternative to abortion.

Emergency Carpet Cleaning
It's messy, damaging, and stubborn. Carpet stains come in various color, form, and chemical composition. For this reason, different sets of procedures are in place to get rid of nasty stains. With the goal of preserving the quality and appearance of carpets, you need to first acknowledge that stains are inevitable so you need to be aware of what to do when that time finally happens.
General Precautions in Carpet Stain Removal
Specific procedures in carpet cleaning vary but some are generally observed like as follows:
1. Know the kind of material your carpet is made of in order to avoid a chemical reaction when using commercially-prepared cleaning agents. If unsure, contact the carpet manufacturer first before purchasing or applying any chemicals.
2. Read the directions in every cleaning solution you purchase before you use them. Using these agents haphazardly might lead to more damage on your carpet.
3. Make it a point to do a spot test. Using the ideal cleaning solution, get a clean cloth, put some of the solution, and try it on a hidden area of the carpet.
4. Protect yourself from the effects of handling chemicals. Use gloves when applying cleaning agents as some are skin-reactants.
5. Prior to purchasing a carpet, it is best to arm yourself with information about stain management. Ask the manufacturer about it first.
The general tips above are useful as you learn about the specific carpet cleaning steps below.
Coffee Stains
It feels nice to walk with a cup of coffee around until it spills. When this happens, here are the steps you need to take:
- Blotting: Get a white cloth and blot the stained area until it dries. You need a few pieces of dry cloth for two reasons. First, you need to change cloth as it absorbs the spilled beverage. Second, you need to work your way inwards to prevent the spill from spreading to a larger area.
- Home-made solution: Prepare a solution of water, vinegar, and a non-bleach detergent. Apply it on the stained area, rinse it and repeat as necessary. If this method does not work, it's time to move on to the next method.
- Commercial solution: Look for a solution specifically design to treat coffee stains on carpets. Read the directions for use carefully before use.
- Reminder: The type of carpet you have plays a factor when it comes to carpet stain removal. If unsure, contact the manufacturer and ask for recommendations about managing coffee stains.
Ink Stains
Inks stains are a variety. Some stains come from pens, some come printers, and some are from certain mechanical oils. Follow these steps to get rid of ink stains:
- Blotting: You need a piece of cloth to initially treat an ink stain. Never scrub or rub the cloth against the stain. This will spread the ink and will make cleaning more difficult for you.
- Home-made solution: Use Isopropyl alcohol to dampen a white cloth and dab it on the ink stain starting on the outermost area and going inwards. For better results, use a high percentage of Isopropyl solution. In addition, the following alcohol-based agents also work: nail polish, hairsprays, vinegar, and white wine. Rinse the stained area with water and use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the remaining moisture.
- Commercial solution: Purchase a chemical-based solution for carpet cleaning, read the directions and precautions for carpet stain removal, and apply as directed on the stained area.
- Reminder: Do not pour alcohol directly to the stained area. Because ink emulsifies, the stain may spread.
Blood Stains
Blood stains need to be treated as soon as possible. Here's what you can do:
- Blotting: Cleaning blood stains is a bit different. Instead of you spraying just enough liquid on the stained part, you need to liberally soak the same area for faster stain removal.
- Home-made solution: Use cold water and an anti-grease detergent to spray the stained part. Get a dry cloth to absorb the moisture. Repeat the process as necessary.
- Commercial solution: OxiClean is only among the popular products specifically designed to treat blood stains. Use it with either cold or warm water.
- Reminder: When following the home-made carpet cleaning solutions, use cold water to prevent blood coagulation.
On a final note, the carpet stain removal procedures provided above do not entail impeccable solutions. If hesitant, call for professional assistance. And always bear in mind that stains are better cleaned off as soon as they happen for better results.
What is The Average Carpet Cleaning Costs In Sacramento, CA?
There is a lot of information, sometimes very confusing information, available regarding the different methods of carpet cleaning. The method known as VLM or Very Low Moisture carpet cleaning is probably one of the most misunderstood. In this article, I would like to clear up some of the misunderstandings and explain the benefits of VLM.
Low moisture carpet cleaning is sometimes referred to as "dry cleaning", which it is not. Dry carpet cleaning involves spreading a dry compound, about the consistency of corn meal onto the carpet. The compound is then worked into the carpet, allowing it to absorb any soil and dirt present which can then be vacuumed away. This method can be effective and leaves behind no moisture or residue, but unless a very thorough vacuuming is done a lot of the dry compound can remain and cause build up in the carpet.
VLM is also frequently compared with Hot Water Extraction cleaning; more commonly know as "steam cleaning". HWE is the most aggressive form of carpet cleaning and the best method on carpets that can be described as trashed. In this process, hot water usually combined with some sort of cleaning agent is forced under pressure into the carpeting and then extracted using powerful industrial vacuums, either truck mounted or in a portable machine. This is done with a tool known as a "wand". HWE provides the most thorough and deepest cleaning for carpets. However, due to the high volume of water, carpets can be left saturated with water if proper care is not taken during extraction. Also, the volume of water and high heat can damage some carpets.
Low moisture carpet cleaning combines some of the best qualities of the other two methods. With VLM, cleaning agents are mixed with water and then lightly sprayed onto the carpeting. There is just enough moisture present to activate the cleaning agents and interact with the soil. After the detergent is allowed enough time to dwell, a rotary floor machine or another machine known as a cylindrical rotating brush machine is used to work the cleaning agents into the carpet and loosen the soil and other contaminants. Now with this method, some of the soil and detergent is removed by the brushes or pad, but quite a bit can remain in the carpet. By using encapsulating cleaning agents, this method becomes extremely effective. After, agitating the carpet the remaining soil becomes "encapsulated" in the cleaning agents as it dries. The dried detergent and soil can then be easily removed during a thorough post vacuuming.
While all carpet cleaning methods can be effective and have their strengths, low moisture carpet cleaning is very effective way to regularly maintain your carpets without using excessive moisture. Keep in mind this method is best used on commercial carpeting or any other short pile carpet. It is also best used carpet that would not be described as trashed.
Thanks for reading. I hope you find the information helpful in deciding which cleaning method is best when choosing a carpet maintenance plan.

Miller State ParkApril 19. 2011 9:26PM
Located on the 2,290-foot summit and flank of Pack Monadnock in Peterborough, Miller is the oldest state park in New Hampshire. A winding 1.3-mile paved road leading to the scenic summit is open for visitors to drive in summer and on spring and fall weekends. Picnicking and hiking are popular activities at the scenic mountain park. Three main hiking trails ascend Pack Monadnock to the summit. The best known is the Wapack Trail, which is a 21-mile footpath that extends from Mt. Watatic in Ashburnham, Mass., to North Pack Monadnock in Greenfield.
A fire tower, no longer used for detecting fires, affords a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. Mount Monadnock, 3,165 feet high, can be seen standing alone 12 miles to the west. It is believed Native Americans named the area's mountains, and that "pack" means little. Other peaks and hills of southern New Hampshire and adjacent Massachusetts can also be seen. On clear days views reach to Mount Washington, the skyscrapers of Boston, and the Vermont hills. Photo: Jenny Meskauskas
Location: Rte 101E, Peterborough
Phone: 603-924-3672
Activities: Hiking, picnicking
Amenities: Picnic tables, auto road to summit
Operation Schedule:

New Hampshire's first state park was created in 1891 when Charles F. Melendy and Austin A. Spofford deeded a three-acre tract of land on the summit of South Pack Monadnock to the state. The following year the park was dedicated in memory of General James Miller, a hero of the Battle of Lundy's Lane in the War of 1812.
In the early years, all-day Sunday picnics at the summit were a popular pastime. Families would arrive by horse and wagon, with lunches packed in wooden cheese boxes, gallon jugs, and milk cans. In winter people enjoyed sledding, skiing and snowshoeing on the mountain. Until 1901 cattle were driven by foot from Massachusetts farms to the park for summer grazing on what was then open pasture extending nearly to the summit.
A hotel called the Pioneer House was built in 1892 on a ridge on the southwest side of the mountain. Unprofitable for its first proprietor, George F. Barker, the business was sold three years after opening. The hotel burned to the ground in 1896, and a new, smaller structure was erectd in its place. The new building was anchored to the rocks by iron rods and chains. It was used as a hunting lodge until it was abandoned and fell into disrepair. The building was destroyed by fire in 1924, but the foundation remains visible today.
In 1939 a 27-foot steel tower, topped with a wooden lookout cabin, was erected to be used as a forest fire watch tower. The cabin no longer exists, but visitors can still climb the tower to enjoy the views.

I was hoping to layout my application using uibinders and then hand things off to a css person to make some small tweaks. I was planning on adding a styleName to all the things that will need css tweaks, so the css person would just fill in css for the corresponding css classes.
But it appears that when I set the styleName, it wipes out all the styles from the theme appearances. I just want to add my own styleName. There used to be a addStyleName, but it is no longer available in 3.0.1
I feel that having to implement Appearance for everying is overkill for what I need to do. And I have to expend considerable java resources to do it.
Am I missing how I can make small css changes?

About Lucas Grogan
Australian artist Lucas Grogan draws on aboriginal Australian crafts as inspiration in his paintings and drawings. In his own words, the artist is "interested by the demarcations, prejudices and collisions between competing and/or colliding cultures, and knew I wanted to create work about these problems." His ornate works include bright colors, complicated patterns, and words. The lozenge-shaped painting You Deserve Better (2013) features star constellations spelling out the title, giving cosmological significance to a mournful remark on the status of a personal relationship. Everything All At Once Everytime (2013) consists of vibrating lines emanating from the text and surrounded by geometric patterns and images of bottles, genitals, and a smiling face.
Australian, b. 1984, Maitland, Australia, based in Melbourne, Australia

Have you ever stepped inside a boxing ring? Those who have and those who have not..
There is no prerequisite to being a fan of boxing. You do not need to have boxed or even been inside the squared circle to enjoy or have an opinion about the sport.
I think it would be interesting to hear about your stories and exploits inside the ring and how they have given you a perspective as a fan.
So all boxingscene commentors please share your experiences here.
For me personally I learnt over time and hardship an appreciation, admiration and respect for all boxers through my experiences. I have been boxing and training since I was 8 years old.
I do and will always love the sport.
Watching pad work with James Degale was my pitiful highlight. It was just after he won gold at the Olympics and it was an eye opener. Seeing his fluidity and power first hand was remarkable and at the times a little scary.
I will never be and could never have been of any signifigance in real world and business of competitive boxing, nor will most who brave the hardest of sports. But I will always consider it a part of me and my life which is both positive and affirming.
Boxing has helped me and many others remain on the straight and narrow and away from the destructive and negative temptations that we all are faced with and sometimes vunerable to.
I know that many of you including me give various boxers a hard time for their performances and/or their choices of opponents but lets not lose sight of the fact that in this short life that we all have, what they do. And what they put on the line in the most literal sense, is more than most of us would risk even if we could... and thank them or at least appreciate them for their courage.
If watching boxing or doing boxing has helped you in any way, like it has for me, then I am honestly happy for you.
If you kindly took the the time to read this then I thankyou sincerely and invite you to please share your thoughts and experiences with and about the sport that we all love.
Thankyou Boxingscene and thankyou boxing.

Nothing too interesting happened.
Made me a little more confident I guess, and it was something I really enjoyed.
Unfortunately broke my wrist in my second fight (two right hands colliding), said to the ref I was fine, tried to use one hand, got the crap beat out of me. TKO2.
Got back into it, was looking for a fight for 4 months, repeated cancellations and what, opponents not turning up etc. Got bored and quit to worry about my education instead. Hopefully going to get back into it in July or something.

You know what you did! .... and through the passage of time, hopefully in your estimation when compared to.... and among all of things you have yet to achieve it will rank highly and gain more significance.
In that moment, observed or not by others you saw and felt, first hand what you did... and you can take pride and self respect from that.
Again, well done.

"You okay to continue?" Said the ref and I just instinctively said "Yeah, I'm fine." It wasn't really a thought process and it was probably stupid because I tried to block something with my dodgy wrist and it was excruciating.
Since I was 15 one bit of the bone was cracked and another bit actually bent back on itself as I was at the age where my bones hadn't completely hardened yet. I don't have a lot of gripping strength in that as a result and when I clench my first the left side of the wrist looks a lot different from the other normal one.
I do take a little pride in it but I think most fighters would have done the same as me, boxing attracts a certain type of people.

I used to train and spar but i never got to compete.i unfortunately moved away and havent found a gym near enough
I used to spar for 3 rounds and man that was exhausting.i was so tired after those few rounds i couldnt understand how pros go for 12.obviously now i know they train a lot harder and for longer than i used to.but i gained a whole lot of respect for fighters.forget the training just the diets alone are tough.
What boxing gave me most was a huge stress releiver.going to the gym helped me out so much in those times where i was full of stress.really the sport kept me sane

I've trained for about 7 -8 years off and on had a handful of amateur fights I love the sport more so being in the gym than actually watching it. Being a fan of the sport is kinda hard fights can be boring to me and its hard to keep up with everything going on in the sport.
I really love going into the gym and sparring theres nothing like it to me its really a learning experience and you get better each time. I've gone from a guy that knew 0 about boxing the first day in the gym being nervous about sparring and getting hit and going 3 rounds and coming out completely exhausted even though i was in great shape to most recently stepping in the ring calm and out of shape and being able to spar 6 rds because I am now able to keep calm and pace myself and know my fight more. Not to proud of the out of shape part recently but it happens with injuries but it also taught me how to adjust my fighting style since i wasnt as quick anymore so i take it as a learning experience.
As for my fights its a total different story than sparring i get nervous because of the crowd and it greatly affects my boxing ability. I am still trying to work on this but its been hard because i dont fight very frequently. But I really just box for fun and a learning experience and so far its been great it can get stressful too when competing and making weight but when it gets too much i find its time to take a break since I'm not trying to make a career out of it no point in getting stressed over something thats supposed to be fun. But when i do compete i give it 110% because i know regardless of whether you are doing it for fun or for a profession you can get hurt in there.
I feel like most boxing fans should have the experience of training and sparring some time just to know how demanding the sport is and have more respect for how hard some of these guys have to work just to be seen on tv fighting. I def have a new found respect for fighters of all sorts including MMA even though im not a fan through training as well as fighting in general i never really knew the damage i could do to someone by just hitting them or the damage that could be done to me until i boxed

Oxford Downs has started its state-mandated spate of quarter horse racing in south Marion County, which will continue through Thursday when the venue meets the regulatory minimum to operate a card room and simulcast wagering facility.
Oxford Downs has started its state-mandated spate of quarter horse racing in south Marion County, which will continue through Thursday when the venue meets the regulatory minimum to operate a card room and simulcast wagering facility.
The resumption of racing at the track, located off U.S. 301 on Southeast 177th Place near The Villages, renewed objections by some of the state's horse racing associations, at least one of which has filed for an injunction against the track. The track held one day of racing in April, also to meet regulatory requirements. The current 10-day session of races began Tuesday.
"It's preposterous. The state of Florida never ceases to amaze me," said Kent Stirling, president of the Florida Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association.
The association is part of the United Florida Horsemen, which includes the Ocala-based Florida Thoroughbred Breeders' and Owners' Association and the Florida Quarter Horse Racing Association, which call the Oxford operation a front to open a card room.
"It's a phony baloney deal they are pulling off. They set up a dummy horsemen's group made up of family members. It's a travesty," Stirling said.
Despite the objections, the Division of Pari-mutuel Wagering has issued the required licenses and is overseeing the racing to make sure it adheres to state law.
Tony Mendola, one of the owners of the track, said he is surprised by the mean-spirited accusations about his operation, which he said is an honest effort to expand horse racing.
"I guess we're just an easy target. There are a host a problems inside the entire industry that they should be focusing on rather than us. We're going to continue to act like gentlemen and do what we believe is right for the people involved, as well as the animals," Mendola said.
Mendola is the first to admit the facilities are lacking at the track. There is no clubhouse or permanent public restrooms. Concessions are limited to water and soda, and wagers are taken at a small mobile building.
"We didn't do any aggressive advertising because we don't want the public believing this is our end product. We're not going to ever become Churchill Downs, but there is a process to it," Mendola said. "We have no revenue. Everything right now, the purses, the expenses come out of our pocket. After we start our card room and simulcast facility we will be able to have a real purse structure."
The lack of facilities is what sparked the FTBOA to file for an injunction April 30, arguing that the county allowed the facility to open despite not meeting any of the site plans that were initially submitted. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for Sept. 2.
On Thursday, a letter from an attorney representing the FTBOA was sent to the Marion County Board of County Commissioners detailing the lack of facilities and asking them to attend a performance to see for themselves.
Lonny Powell, FTBOA executive vice president and CEO, was not immediately available for comment Thursday.
Mendola called the FTBOA's action frivolous and said the facilities were known to the county, which issued the permits to open.
Construction on the clubhouse will begin in a few weeks, after final permits are issued. The facility is expected to open in December, he said.
The state requires a quarter horse permit holder to run at least 20 performances of racing, with eight races per performance. The track is holding two performances per day to meet the requirement.
Some of the horses are racing twice per day, which is "a frequency which is unheard of in recognized quarter horse racing," according the FTBOA's attorney's letter to the commission.
Mendola said the races are 110-yard dashes and there are state and track veterinarians on the grounds.
"The safety of the jockeys and horses is paramount. We have had no incidents," he said.
Many of the horses that race at the track are owned by people with ties to track officials and employees. The horsemen's group, which represents horse owners and trainers, is a newly formed entity called the Central Florida Horsemen's Association. Mendola filed the articles of incorporation for the group with the state.
Again, Mendola said, without revenue for purses, attracting horses from other tracks is near impossible. The horses at the track are racing quarter horses that have raced at Hialeah and Louisiana Downs.
"We've had some serious inquiries, but right now the purses are not where they can make a commitment to send their horses," he said. "We have some good horse racing and we want to put on good horse racing. We are moving toward that but, like any other track in the country, we can't do it without the revenue of the card room and simulcasting."

Game: New York Giants (0-2) at Carolina Panthers (0-2), 1 p.m.
TV: Fox network (Thom Brennaman play-by-play, Brian Billick color analyst, Laura Okmin sideline reporter)
RADIO: WBT-AM 1110 in Charlotte is flagship station (Mick Mixon play-by-play, Eugene Robinson and Jim Szoke color analysts, Sharon Thorsland sideline reporter)
LAST WEEK: Carolina � lost at Buffalo 23-24, New York Giants � lost to Denver 23-41
NEXT WEEK: Carolina � Bye week before visiting Arizona Oct. 6 at 4:05 p.m., New York Giants � visit Kansas City next Sunday at 1 p.m.
THE SERIES: Tied at four apiece, including Giants 36-7 win in their last meeting last season.
RANKINGS AMONG NFL (After Week 2): Carolina offense � 27th overall, 6th rushing, 30th passing. Carolina defense � 26th overall, 22nd rushing, 26th passing. New York Giants offense � 5th overall, 32nd rushing, 1st passing. New York Giants defense � 20th overall, 16th rushing, 19th passing.
BY THE NUMBERS: 6-12 � Much like their woeful records in season-openers and home-openers, the Panthers have struggled before AND after bye weeks. They are 6-12 before the bye and 8-10 after the bye.
MATCHUP TO WATCH: Giants QB Eli Manning against the Panthers� banged-up secondary. While Manning has thrown seven interceptions (with five touchdowns), he is second in the league in passing yards (812) through two games and faces a secondary so ravaged by injuries that LB Thomas Davis may see time at safety. To indicate just how badly the secondary has been beat up, five of the team�s last six transactions have involved safeties � and four of those five involve injury settlements or placement on injured reserve.
NOTABLE: Panthers new general manager Dave Gettleman spent 15 years with the Giants before being hired by Carolina in January�.
Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell is from Cramerton, attended South Point HS and was inducted into the Gaston County Sports Hall of Fame in 2012 on a night at the Gastonia Conference center in which Panthers head coach Ron Rivera was the featured speaker; Fewell and Rivera worked together on the Chicago Bears coaching staff in 2005�.
Two Panthers players and one member of the coaching staff were hired away from the Giants after Gettleman�s hiring � linebacker Chase Blackburn and wide receiver Domenik Hixon and linebackers coach Al Holcomb�.
One Giants player and two staffers went to N.C. State � injured running back Andre Brown (leg), secondary coach David Merritt and defensive assistant Rob Leonard. Brown (Greenville Rose) and Merritt (Raleigh Millbrook) also played high school football in North Carolina�.
Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks played at Charlotte Independence HS and at the University of North Carolina. Even more ironically, Nicks� last game before becoming the Giants� first-round pick in 2009 was in a 31-30 Tar Heels� loss to West Virginia in the Meineke Car Care Bowl at Bank of America Stadium in a game in which he had 217 yards receiving�.
Giants defensive tackle Linval Joseph played at East Carolina�.
Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride (1987-88) and offensive line coach Pat Flaherty (1992) coached at East Carolina, with Flaherty also spending 1993-93 at Wake Forest�.
And Giants special teams coordinator Tom Quinn began his coaching career at Davidson College in 1991.
PREDICTION: NY Giants 35, Carolina 27. Hard to imagine Manning keeps throwing interceptions and, against the banged-up Panthers secondary, you would imagine he connects with Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz enough to send Panthers into the bye week with a 0-3 record.
(Gazette�s 2013 record: 0-2)

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — A 116-meter (380-foot) tower block has been brought down with explosives in Germany's financial capital, Frankfurt, in one of the biggest such operations in Europe.
Frankfurt's university tower, built in 1972, was demolished Sunday morning using some 950 kilograms (2,095 pounds) of explosives. Police estimated that 30,000 spectators watched as the block collapsed in a huge cloud of dust.
The university's facilities moved to a new campus last year. The tower originally was supposed to be demolished gradually, but authorities decided to bring it down with explosives after residents objected to lengthy and noisy demolition work.
A 250-meter (273-yard) exclusion zone was set up around the tower before it was brought down, and some surrounding streets were also closed.
Two new office towers are to be built on the site.

Zito loses again on the road, 10-1 to Padres
Barry Zito had another road misadventure, forcing the San
Francisco Giants to be happy with winning three of four games
against the last-place San Diego Padres.
Carlos Quentin hit one of San Diego's four home runs and drove
in three runs as the Padres routed Zito and the San Francisco
Giants 10-1 on Sunday, a day after being no-hit by Tim
Nick Hundley had a homer among his three hits and Chris Denorfia
and Will Venable also went deep as the Padres avoided a four-game
sweep by the defending World Series champions heading into the
All-Star break.
The Padres had been outscored 23-3 in the first three games of
the series, including a 9-0 loss Saturday night when Lincecum threw
his first career no-hitter. San Diego won for just the fourth time
in 20 games.
Zito (4-7), who went to high school in San Diego, was chased
without getting an out in the third inning and dropped to 0-6 with
a 9.89 ERA in eight road starts. The Giants are 0-8 in his road
starts. He allowed four runs and four hits while walking two and
striking out none.
"He was off, no getting around it," manager Bruce Bochy said.
"He had trouble hitting his spots. Three home runs, you get short
at that point, particularly when you have a full bullpen and you're
off for four days. I try to look at it, hey, it's a good series,
the boys did well down here.
"This series put us back on course. Hopefully this is how we'll
play when we come out of this break."
The defending World Series champion Giants came into this series
in a free-fall, having lost four straight games and 19 of 24.
Zito gave up San Diego's first three homers. Denorfia hit a solo
shot an estimated 417 feet into the second deck in left field with
one out in the first while Hundley and Venable connected
back-to-back with two outs in the second. It was the third time the
Padres hit consecutive homers this season.
"My concentration wasn't where it should be,' said Zito, who
wasn't upset with the early hook. "I knew our bullpen was fresh
and Boch has done that before. That's his style if the starter
doesn't have a feel for the game. I support his decision. I have to
be better out there. I have to have my concentration where it
should be."
It was Denorfia's seventh, Hundley's sixth and Venable's
Quentin's two-run homer with two outs in the fifth hit the
balcony on the second level of the Western Metal Supply Co. brick
warehouse in the left-field corner. It was his 12th and came off
George Kontos. Everth Cabrera was aboard on a walk.
Quentin also hit an RBI double in the four-run third. Hundley
and Venable hit consecutive RBI singles that inning.
San Diego lefty Eric Stults (8-7) allowed one run and five hits
in six innings, struck out five and walked two.
All-Star Marco Scutaro singled in San Francisco's only run, in
the first.
NOTES: The cap Lincecum wore in his no-hitter is on its way to
the Hall of Fame. Giants officials will probably also send a ball
from the game. … Giants closer Sergio Romo was added to the NL
All-Star team by his manager, Bruce Bochy. He'll join teammates
Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner and Scutaro at New York's Citi
Field on Tuesday night. … San Diego's lone representative is

I have been more of a hardware/networking guy. I do networking building computers, repairing, upgrading, the whole nine yards. Well now im in college majoring in Computer Information Systems, soon I will start programing. Now this is sort of new to me, a while back I messed round with "darkbasic" and the only thing I really know how to do is make a couple batch files. Now what do I need to buy or download or read? What would give me a nice head start before the class starts. Curently im taking a Microsoft Office 2003 class.... man oh man does it suck. Chapters one and two are all about opening a file, I feel like my brain is being put to the test to see how long I can sit there with out spazing out on the first person who says "Which button is to exit out". But I guess I have to take this class to keep moving up in my major.
Thanks Jason

Nashua mayor denies that she blocked rail presentationBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
February 06. 2014 9:19PM
NASHUA — Mayor Donnalee Lozeau said that a last minute decision to halt a recently scheduled rail presentation was not done at her request, as implied by city officials this week.
Lozeau said she was just as surprised to learn about Dan Kelly's withdrawal from the aldermanic Planning and Economic Development Committee agenda as the committee members themselves.
Kelly serves as Lozeau's designee on the New Hampshire Rail Transit Authority, and was originally scheduled to give a rail presentation to the aldermanic committee on Tuesday.
Kelly emailed the committee earlier this week, however, to let members know that he would not be presenting his information to the committee but instead would be meeting with the mayor in March to further discuss the matter.
At least one committee member implied that Kelly's cancellation was because the mayor had not reviewed Kelly's presentation in advance.
"That is absolutely not true," Lozeau said this week. "I did not ask him to not do his presentation."
Lozeau admits she was unaware of Kelly's scheduled presentation until an alderman mentioned it to her.
"It would be helpful to know these things," said Lozeau, who did eventually reach out to Kelly to make sure that in the future she is kept in the loop on such matters.
As the mayor's designee, Kelly essentially speaks on Lozeau's behalf for the rail authority, so Lozeau said it is worthwhile to know in advance when he may be addressing elected officials to discuss the important topic of rail.
Kelly sent an email to Lozeau a few hours before the scheduled meeting to let her know he was not going to go through with the presentation, but Lozeau said she did not read the message until the following morning.
"I think it is unfortunate," she said. "I would have told him to go ahead and talk to the committee. I did not know he was going to withdraw."
Lozeau has been a vocal and strong supporter of bringing passenger rail back to New Hampshire. The Board of Aldermen has also been in support of the initiative, and early last year purchased two parcels at 25 Crown St. for $1.4 million to be used for a park and ride facility and possibly, in the future, a train station.Kelly was planning to discuss ongoing efforts by the NHRTA, the Capital Corridor initiative and Nashua specific issues such as potential site locations for rail, paying for rail without subsidies and land use and legislation surrounding rail.If anyone can help bring commuter rail into Nashua, Kelly — also a member of the Nashua City Planning Board — may be the man, said Alderman-at-Large Dan Moriarty, adding Kelly's insight and background will be beneficial to city officials.
Moriarty, chairman of the committee, assured the board that he is addressing the situation. Kelly is set to meet with the mayor, Moriarty said, and hopefully his presentation will eventually be heard by elected officials.

Intel Highlights Lexington Atom Processor, 22nm Bay Trail SoC at CES
Intel executives held a press conference today at CES in Las Vegas to outline a plan to accelerate new mobile device experiences across the company's portfolio of smartphone, tablet and Ultrabook offerings.
The announcements included a new smartphone platform for emerging markets, details on a forthcoming 22nm quad-core SoC for tablets, and more personal Ultrabook devices in convertible designs were outlined by Mike Bell, vice president and general manager of the Mobile and Communications Group, and Kirk Skaugen, vice president and general manager of the PC Client Group at Intel.
"The best of Intel is coming to a mobile device near you," said Skaugen. "We are set to deliver the biggest increase in battery efficiency in Intel's history with 4th generation Intel Core processors, while adding broad new human interfaces to computing devices through touch, voice, facial recognition, and gesture-based interactions. We're also significantly extending the performance and power savings in Atom processors as we accelerate our mobile offerings in an unprecedented fashion in 2013."
Intel unveiled a new low-power Atom processor-based platform (formerly "Lexington") and smartphone reference design, targeted at the value smartphone market segment, which industry sources predict could reach 500 million units by 2015. Intel said that Acer, Lava International and Safaricom will support the platform.
The new platform brings Intel's classic product strengths to this smartphone market segment, including efficient performance for quick Web browsing, and a multimedia and Android applications experience.
"The addition of the low-power Atom platform enables Intel to address new market segments and further rounds out our expanding portfolio of smartphone offerings," said Bell. "We believe the experience that comes with Intel Inside will be a welcomed choice by first-time buyers in emerging markets, as well as with our customers who can deploy more cost-conscious devices without sacrificing device performance or user experience."
The new value offering includes many high-end features including the Intel Atom processor Z2420 with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology that can achieve speeds of 1.2 GHz, 1080p hardware-accelerated encode/decode, and support for up to two cameras delivering advanced imaging capabilities, including burst mode that allows people to capture seven pictures in less than a second in 5-megapixel quality. The platform also includes the Intel XMM 6265 HSPA+ modem that offers Dual Sim/Dual Standby capability for cost-conscious users.
Bell also highlighted the forthcoming Intel Atom Z2580 processor platform (formerly "Clover Trail+") targeted at performance and mainstream smartphones. The platform includes a dual core Atom processor with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, and also features a dual-core graphics engine. He said the new platform will deliver up to two times the performance benefits over Intel's current-generation solution (Intel Atom processor Z2460 platform), while also offering competitive power and battery life.
Speaking to a product roadmap and growing ecosystem of tablet and tablet convertible devices running on Intel technology, Bell reinforced the wide range of tablet designs based on the Atom Processor Z2760 running Windows 8 now on shelves and online from OEMs such as Acer, ASUS, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, LG and Samsung. More tablet designs are scheduled to ship over the coming weeks.
He also unveiled details about the company's next-generation 22nm Atom SoC, codenamed "Bay Trail," which is already booting and scheduled to be available for holiday 2013. The first quad-core Atom SoC will be the most powerful Atom processor to date, delivering more than two times the computing performance of Intel's current generation tablet offering. It will also include new improved integrated security offerings. These improvements will enable new experiences for business and personal use in devices as thin as 8mm that have all-day battery life and weeks of standby, all at lower prices.
"With Bay Trail we will build on the work done with our current SoC development and accelerate very quickly by leveraging Intel's core computing strengths," Bell said. "We will take advantage of the tremendous software assets and expertise at our disposal to deliver the best products with best-in-class user experiences."
Intel announced last September that it added a new line of processors to its forthcoming 4th generation Intel Core processor family targeted at about 10 watt design power, while still delivering the performance people want and need.
Skaugen announced today that the company is bringing the low-power line of processors into its existing 3rd generation Intel Core processor family. Available now, these chips will operate as low as 7 watts, allowing manufacturers greater flexibility in thinner, lighter convertible designs. Currently there are more than a dozen designs in development based on this new low-power offering and they are expected to enable a full PC experience in innovative mobile form factors including tablets and Ultrabook convertibles. The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S Ultrabook and a future Ultrabook detachable from Acer will be among the first to market this spring based on the new Intel processors and were demonstrated by Skaugen on stage.
The 4th generation Intel Core processor family enables true all-day battery life. Skaugen disclosed that new systems are expected to deliver up to 9 hours of continuous battery life.
"The 4th generation Core processors are the first Intel chips built from the ground up with the Ultrabook in mind," Skaugen said. "We expect the tremendous advancements in lower-power Core processors, and the significant ramp of touch-based systems will lead to a significant new wave of convertible Ultrabooks and tablets that are thinner, lighter and, at the same time, have the performance required for more human-like interaction such as touch, voice and gesture controls."
To demonstrate the impact of the 4th generation Intel Core processor family, Skaugen showed a new form factor Ultrabook detachable reference design (codenamed "North Cape") that converts into a 10mm tablet and can run on battery for up to 13 hours while docked.
Advancements made in the way consumers will interact with their computing devices were also demonstrated, including natural and more immersive interaction experiences using a 3-D depth camera. Intel showed applications running on an Ultrabook in which objects can be manipulated naturally with free movements of the hands, fingers, face and voice. One application that was demonstrated can be used for enabling new video collaboration and blogging experiences. These were all enabled using the Intel Perceptual Computing SDK Beta. This year, Intel expects more Ultrabooks and all-in-one (AIO) systems to offer applications for voice control (Dragon Assistant) andfacial recognition (Fast Access) for convenience and freedom from passwords.
During the event, Skaugen also demonstrated new adaptive AIO systems that have a battery built into the screen and can be picked up and easily moved around the home or office as needed. Adaptive AIOs are high-performance computers with large touch-enabled screens that can be used as a multi-user touch gaming system, or as an interactive art creation device, as well as for many other shared, in-person experiences. Simply put, these devices will help bring "game night" back to its roots through shared experiences where families and friends gather around the system to interact, play and have fun.
Intel also continues to drive access to content on Intel-based devices by working with video service providers around the globe such as Comcast and Bouygues Telecom to create television experiences that will allow users to view live and on-demand pay TV content. Intel is collaborating with Comcast to bring the XFINITY TV experience to multiple screens in the home including Ultrabook devices, and Intel-based AIO PCs and tablets.
This experience is made possible by the Intel Puma 6MG-based XG5 multi-screen video gateway developed by ARRIS. This new category of devices allows any screen in the home to access live and on-demand entertainment premium content.
The XG5multi-screen video gateway provides video, voice and high-speed Internet via MoCA, DECT and Wi-Fi from one device creating a home network for numerous devices and second screens. Multi-screen video gateways are emerging devices that centrally manage pay TV, broadband access to voice as well as new services such as home security and home management.
Intel is also working with Bouygues Telecom to bring customers in France the Bbox TV experience to these same Intel-based devices. Consumers will experience both live TV and video on demand anywhere on the Bouygues Telecom network.

SANA'A, May 16 (Saba)- A government report has indicated an increase in tourist income during 2010 by about US$ 347 million to hit US$ 1,161 million, an increase of 28%.
The report, issued by the Ministry of Tourism, showed that the number of foreign tourists coming to Yemen increased in the same period by about 102000 tourists, an increase of 24%, while the number of Yemeni expatriates coming to their homeland in this period rose by about 105000, say a decline of 18%.
The total tourist arrivals to Yemen in 2010, reached 1,247,062 compared to 948,118 tourists in 2007.
The report pointed out that the number of foreign tourists last year made up 52% of the total number of incoming tourism to Yemen.
It also said the number of tourist nights spent by tourists in 2010 increased to 4,716,458 representing an increase of 40%, compared to 2009.
The report showed that 72% of the foreign tourists in Yemen came from the Middle East, followed by tourists from Asia.
In light of the ongoing political crisis and the security instability, the tourism sector is expected to experience significant declines in its activities.

Every Wednesday throughout Lent, we will post a reflection from Larry Livingston, CFCA church relations director. We hope these reflections help you on your own Lenten journey.
Simon Peter is one of my Scriptural heroes, and not because he was Jesusí right-hand man or the leader of the early Church.
Rather, it was because he somehow managed to become those things in spite of himself.
The Peter portrayed in the Gospels is a mess of impulses, the guy who always says or does the wrong thing. Todayís Gospel reading about the Transfiguration of Jesus is a classic example.
The story begins with Jesus taking Peter, James and John up a mountain. There he is revealed as the Son of God and Messiah, more worthy of honor even than Moses and Elijah, the two great heroes of salvation history who suddenly appear with him.
For the three disciples, this is a moment to be savored, not interrupted. Yet, Peter being Peter, he canít stay quiet.
Without truly understanding what is happening, Peter blurts out an offer to erect some tents. In so doing, he comes close to stepping on God the Fatherís profound affirmation of Jesus as beloved son.
It is easy to critique Peter after the fact, but I suspect that a lot of us would have reacted similarly.
Many of us, like Peter, have difficulty knowing how to respond in graced moments. We too struggle with the tendency to over-analyze and overreact.
Violet, left, a sponsored child in Kenya, shares a quiet moment with Audrey as the two play together. Violet is sponsored by Audrey's parents, Eric and Sarah.
And we sometimes speak when we would be better off listening.
Thankfully, Godís grace has a way of sneaking through even our best efforts to block it. Sometimes we are forced to pay attention by big and traumatic events in our lives.
But, every now and then, that grace also catches us in quiet moments when, for whatever reason, we are just ready to listen.
For nearly 30 years CFCA has been gently helping people to listen better. We invite sponsors and sponsored persons to listen to one another and to be mutually blessed through their communion.
We seek to facilitate graced conversations where the voice of God might be revealed in new and beautiful ways that help build a more just, more peaceful world.
This Lent we invite all the members of our community to listen well and be attentive to the surprising voice of God.
It may be a voice of challenge or it may be a voice of affirmation. We do not know what that voice will say to you, but we do believe that it waits to be heard.
Simon Peter eventually did become the leader that Jesus knew he could be. In the end, he succeeded because Jesus never gave up on him and because he never gave up on himself.
And because he finally learned to be still enough to listen.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Barclays Bank PLC BARC, -0.47% BCS, -0.46% is to be fined more than £26 million ($43.9 million) for failings around the London Gold Fix, the U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority said on Friday. The bank did not "adequately manage conflicts of interest between itself and its customers" and fell down on "systems and controls" around the setting of the gold price, the authority said in a statement. It cited the actions of former Barclays trader Daniel James Plunkett, who took advantage of weaknesses in the bank's systems in June 2012 to try to influence the gold fix. The attempt meant the bank did not have to pay its customer $3.9 million. "Plunkett's actions came the day after the publication of our Libor and Euribor action against Barclays. The investigation and outcomes in that case meant that the firm, and Plunkett, were clearly on notice of the potential for conflicts of interests around benchmarks," the FCA said. Plunkett was banned from involvement in regulated activity and fined £95,600. Both the ex-trader and Barclays avoided higher fines, of £136,600 and more than £37 million, respectively, by agreeing to settle at an early stage. Barclays shares were up 0.6% in London after the news.

WORCESTER � Within hours of President Barack Obama's speech Wednesday at the DCU Center, workers began tweaking the graduation stage setup and hanging candidate banners to prepare the arena for this weekend's Democratic State Convention.
Massachusetts Democratic Party officials are expecting 6,300 delegates and alternates to converge on Worcester beginning Friday afternoon to select the party's candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and other statewide races for the November election.
The scheduling coincidence that resulted in the state Democratic Party convention taking place in the same venue as and following on the heels of a speech by the highest-ranking Democrat in the country resulted in some lighthearted quips among party staffers Thursday about the president serving as a kind of opening act to warm up Worcester for the state convention.
Joking aside, Massachusetts Democratic Party Executive Director Matt Fenlon said the president's speech at the Worcester Technical High School graduation Wednesday set the stage for issues important to the delegates, such as education, clean energy and transportation.
"It really was a nonpartisan commencement address, but I think the values he spoke to are the values that Massachusetts Democrats hold too," Mr. Fenlon said.
The convention is scheduled to be called to order at 6 p.m. Friday with remarks later that evening from U.S. Rep. James P. McGovern of Worcester and Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Former lieutenant governor Timothy P. Murray, now the president and chief executive officer of the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce, will also be on stage Friday.
A tribute to Gov. Deval L. Patrick will also occur Friday night, after which Mr. Patrick will address the audience.
Delegates are scheduled to vote beginning Saturday morning to select the party's primary election candidates in contested races. With Mr. Patrick finishing up his two terms as governor, and the sitting attorney general and treasurer stepping down to run for governor, this year's convention has an unusually high number of candidates in contested races, organizers said.
"We have 14 candidates in contested races. That's really an unprecedented number and it speaks to the depth and quality of candidates we have in the state," Mr. Fenlon said.
Saturday's agenda includes remarks from House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo and a tribute to outgoing Senate President Therese Murray.
The delegates' choices to represent the party in the governor's race are: Joseph C. Avellone, Donald M. Berwick, outgoing state Attorney General Martha Coakley, outgoing state Treasurer Steven Grossman and Juliette Kayyem.
The gubernatorial candidates must capture at least 15 percent of the delegate votes to get on the ballot for the Democratic primary election in September. The one with the most votes will be considered the party's endorsed candidate.
At their March convention in Boston, Massachusetts Republicans backed businessman Charles D. Baker Jr. as the party's candidate for governor by a margin initially thought to be large enough that he wouldn't be required to face a primary race against Shrewsbury businessman Mark Fisher.
Mr. Fisher challenged the results with a lawsuit in state court, and the party recently agreed to put him on the ballot for the September primary.
Other contested races state Democratic Party delegates will vote on this weekend in Worcester include lieutenant governor and the two state constitutional offices freed up by candidates for governor, attorney general and treasurer. The state Democratic Party last held its convention in Worcester four years ago.
