... word of Google when hammered this week is Gold slumping the EU ... the average Joe could be investing in ... those commercials listen to Chuck Jaffe for MarketWatch who's going to tell us I shopped ... played out for us ... while the basic seven or billion ... years ago though there was a rule the Mets had bought a ten percent of your portfolio should be invested in gold and it should be a static position to that basically you that stocks bonds cash in goal ... and ... the gold market is going to be this out of investors in the eighties ... and then into the nineties when the Internet ... bubble was going nobody wanted to do what they're like nono you wouldn't do it ... but then in two thousand when of course the bubble burst ever been is like wow you gotta get in on gold he won again this um maybe they were chasing performance ... but the truth is ... if you believe in what gold is supposed to do that it's a hedge for inflation that it's a good thing all in on certain times when you're looking in uncertain times right now ... the question is ... can you commit to an allocation in goal ... the U K and ... then all by the way ... all the trouble that you're seeing right now ... is that I we gotta go of my allocation gold shrunk ... by half to put more money into it ... to keep it that five percent so I ... if they can't do that right now ... the knowledge you gotta throw that will come out and up ... I can do what I'm into the outperformance chaser ... people who chased performance in gold routinely get crushed ... or less the moment let's talk about gold being assessed or value in a fundamentally good deal ... very very speculative market and it goes on long multi year swaying us ... well I mean does that entirely based on emotion but be perfectly honest for an average investor you have to look at gold as a non productive asset what does it will give you have ... no interest no dividends and no ... growth that you can say I that's based on earnings beat a looker Report go on the site is up and tried to come up with some intricate works for me ... all you've got ... these What's the emotion and what's it doing and how scared are people ... and is academic me a month ... right so I would say ... for an average Joe Z can handle and are up but ... for someone else you can do that ... what should they be looking at with angle ... well ... functionally it they wanna get to that spot where they're looking at productive assets and they might wanna consider the mining stocks and some things like that but as a general rule if you're the person is to say I wanna have an allocation integral ... may get an allocation of gold making either the tripling the metal yourself or you got one of the TT apps that is backing matter because that's why you bought it that's what you're saying ... I want to have ... a consistent position in gold ... come hell or high water ... I wanna be there well then you wanna have the metal because that's what it's there ... for everybody else is just apply for ... and the change in this week gold got crushed on this is been big selloff ... I mean this is the Lord this is the time where you really know whether or not you should be in this right ... exactly that's the reason why wrote pieces that and you can be looking at old right now if you have an allocation to it and saying ... I need you know cold lost nine percent on Monday ... it used to identify percent allocation of gold and you put in a while ago ... there's a pretty good chance that is only two to three percent your portfolio right now and that means the fall that standard allocation you gotta go throw money and a goal you cannot do it is proven the point you don't belong there at all by the way ... you can get gold exposure in a lot of ordinary plain vanilla mutual funds ... so ... if you can do it yourself you might ... I just throw line approach where they're investing but oh by the way they keep a piece of their portfolio ... write to Kathy Aksland stuff think you're a much ... you bet

It was quite a trip. My latest sojourn to New York City lasted three days. In that time, I crammed numerous meetings. Sadly, none of the meetings were wine related and so, I also managed to miss my daily muse.
Then, upon my return, I read a few blog entries by Tom Wark, at Fermentations. It seems that Tom is in a philosophical modeand a deep one at that.
Toms postings concern the value of establishing a wine quality parameter. He seems to think that the task is insurmountable.
Toms basic point, I believe, is that quality is put forward in such a subjective manner by wine reviewers and critics, as well as by wine consumers, that an objective measure simply cannot be pinned down.
I agree, and I disagreehows that for being unequivocal?
First, I agree with Tom because hes gotten it right: self-appointed arbiters of taste are forced to make definitive proclamations. If they dont, why would anyone listen to them? And the only way anyone can make a definitive proclamation, especially when that anyone has little or no technical training, is to be subjective.
The fact that wine reviewers and critics can lure others on board their ship of fools is because so many of us are insecure about our abilities. One of the most distressing revelations I gained while operating a wine tasting room was how often people seemed proud to proclaim their lack of knowledge.
Even regular wine drinkers often started out by saying that they didnt really know much about wine. I countered with, You know what you like, and thats all there is to know. And then, I shamefully proceeded to tell them what I thought they should know. This is the same methodology that critics use. I call it gaming the consumer.
The result of such a situation is reams of paper and digital print about what I find appealing and little discourse concerned with what it might be that you want. And why not? The words of critics spring from self-assurance, they have no need for another opinion; discourse is not their modus operandi. Under such conditions, quality is a moving target.
Where I disagree with Tom, is that I believe there are ways to establish quality parameters for wine. The point is, though, that they must be established and agreed upon.
Many wine consumers would agree that the smell of TCA is not part of quality in wine. Many probably would agree that wine isnt supposed to be vinegar. Even the most self-assured critic is likely to agree that wine isnt supposed to taste like Coca Colawell, most critics might agree
In my view, the best way to establish quality is to codify the technicalities of wine. The only way for that to happen is through an organized effort of technically trained people to create and agree upon technical parameters. Following that, an organized effort must make sure that wines are measured, and the parameters are met before they are subject to analysis by critics and reviewers.
Consumers are then assured that every wine that is reviewed has been rigorously passed through a quality analysis, and that the reams of paper and digital print produced by reviewers and critics are in fact what they have been all along: a bunch of subjective opinions. It might be fun not to let reviewers and critics in on the result of the technical analysisa method that should underline their subjectivity.
Establishing quality parameters and exposing subjectivity for what it is are actually the easy parts. The more difficult task is the one that I believe Toms posts truly addressa few questions.
Do we have or should we have a relationship with wine? Why?
Why do we feel the need to agree or to disagree about wine?
What is it that makes us think that others should heed our proclamations?
What is it that makes any one of us imagine that he or she is the arbiter of taste?
Why do so many of us seem to need the approval of someone else before we can enjoy a glass of wine?
When did wine become a subject of philosophical thought rather than merely the lubricant that allows philosophy to flow?
Why can't we simply enjoy something without having to dissect and obsess over it?
Im sure Tom has other, more important questions in his head. In fact, I think that for a fellow whose function is to create and write PR for others in the wine industry, Tom may be thinking too deeply. If he keeps it up, he may find himself writing good books instead

BMS Congratulates 2014 HOF Inductees
Bristol Motor Speedway connections to the now five NASCAR Hall of Fame classes continue to increase in number.
Prior to the announcement Wednesday night of the five newest members of the NHOF, 16 of the previous 20 inductees not only were involved in races at Bristol. They succeeded, emphasizing the fact the toughest places in the biggest races on the biggest stages define championship seasons and hall-of-fame careers.
The latest additions to this exclusive club simply confirm the fact.
Of the five inductees, only one, Tim Flock, did not visit victory lane at Bristol - for a very simple reason. The man Richard Petty called the "smoothest driver I ever saw" never raced here.
The rest: Jack Ingram, Dale Jarrett, Maurice Petty and Fireball Roberts did.
The total now reads: 20 of the 25 members of the NASCAR Hall of Fame were involved in 93 different ways in wins at Bristol.
The Iron Man. That is Ingram's moniker, the nickname by which he is best known. How he was tagged with the label is up for debate but the fact it was a perfect fit is not. He ran 99 races in what is now the NASCAR Nationwide Series after the age of 50 and before that sort of thing was common. In fact, he continued to run selected short-track races into his 70s. HIS 70s, not THE '70s.
In fact, he participated in two celebrity events with legendary Bristol drivers in 2009 and 2010 at the age of 73.
From 1982 through 1987, Ingram did not finish lower than fourth in the final NASCAR Nationwide (Grand National, Busch Series) standings. Twice, 1982 and 1985, he won the series championship.
And like so many others before and since, the 1982 title came with the aid of a win in Bristol.
He did not lead the majority of the 150 laps; that credit went to Morgan Shepherd. But Ingram led enough, including the most important one - the money lap.
Like father, like son. Ned Jarrett, a 1965 winner at Bristol, was named to the NHOF in 2011, and Wednesday night it was time for his son Dale.
Like Ingram, the younger Jarrett got a later start in his career, not even taking a shot at driving a race car until he was 20 years old.
He raced, in part-time, often-underfunded, rides to work up the ladder. The fourth race of his Cup career came at Bristol. So did his last one.
He won the NASCAR Nationwide event at Bristol August 23, 1991. Six years later, on the exact same date in 1997, he rolled into Cup Victory Lane.
In 668 career starts, Jarrett ran more Cup races at Bristol than any other track.
All in the family. A fourth member of the Petty family was added Wednesday night to the Hall.
"The King" Richard, the Patriarch Lee and the mechanical genius cousin Dale Inman all are in.
And now, so is The Chief; Maurice, the quiet giant behind the even bigger horsepower that came out of the engine shop tucked away in the back of that building in Level Cross, N.C.
Richard won three times at Bristol Motor Speedway. Three trips to victory lane in cars built by Inman and his group and powered by The Chief. But Maurice has another win at Bristol, one more than Richard actually.
July 1962, in the fourth Cup race at Bristol, Jim Paschal earned one of his 25 career wins and his only win at Bristol in the No. 42, owned by Petty Enterprises with an engine by Maurice.
My real name is Glenn. Many probably are unaware of Fireball Roberts' real name. That's ok. Fireball is way cooler.
Arguably the sport's first real superstar, Roberts ran just seven races at Bristol before his career was cut short after a tragic accident.
Regardless of the limited time, his skill was obvious.
In those seven races, he led laps in four of them. He twice started from the pole and won once and finished second three times.
He qualified lower than fourth just once.

Just realized that 恋 vs 愛 vs 恋愛 is almost certainly going to be a "thing" in this series: going from memory, Mykage's been exclusively using 愛 (愛の調べ, etc). So if that holds up the good guys are about 恋, the bad guys are about 愛, (and 恋愛 is the "neutral zone", lol).
It would be a hilarious troll if it wound up being the other way around, though: romantic love is dangerous and uncontrollable (hence something the good guys try and prevent), but "baser" attraction is a-ok and useful. I can't see them going that way -- too contrary to conventional wisdom to work, even for shock value -- and it doesn't seem to square with the way the rings worked on people like Andy, but it'd still be a great troll.

Ah, I don't think it's worth thinking too deeply about this... ^^;; "ai" is perfectly good for romantic love, too - at least in this context I find it difficult to interpret it in any other way. It's just that "renai" is more specific, and it just made me wonder why Fudou (who is pretty much all-knowing) said it wasn't romantic love and yet it was "registered" as clearly romantic love, re: lovers and whatnot. Then again, it may not mean anything in particular.

Okay, I'm gonna clarify my theory once and for all about the Apollo, Apollonius, Kagura, and Amata. It's not extensive to EP7 yet, as that hasn't aired... but I've got enough to prove my theory might be correct.
Spoiler for reincarnation theory, proof below:

Edit: It's 12:35 est, does Aquarion Evol air at 1:35 am my time ...or what time?
Which makes me again doubt that Amata is his wings, because he has no smell. Apollonius wings or not, had a smell. Apollo said he smelled like all the other shadow angels
Amata has no smell that's why I think he's some freaky creation created to cockblock Kagura and Mikono. For some reason their union is considered disastrous by the people in EVOL. Love is forbidden and a love as strong as theirs, has been known to destroy worlds
honestly that doesn't make sense to me. Silvia and Apollo were reincarnations of the Apollonious and Celiane. The souls were the same, they just had different "identities" because their lives from rebirth to that point shaped their personalities but ultimately it is as bad fluffy toy said
I agree with you, except the main character isn't always the "protagonist" in the story. In fact, the main character's story can be told in a narrative by the protagonist
Case in point Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Madoka is the main character but Homura is the protagonist. Everything including the OP is from Homura's perspective but you don't realize it till episode 10. They're not always the same person and you know what I am starting to think
Amata is a decoy main character/hero/protagonist (any one of those titles take your pic) and EVOL is still about Apollo and Silvia/ Apollonious and Celiane, only this time they're Kagura and Mikono. Promotional art of characters who weren't the main character has been used a lot of times (Darker than Black is famous for it. Everybody Hei hugs dies GIVE ME BACK YIN DAMN YOU!!1)
that doesn't make sense to me. Apollo didn't have wings and he was the solar wing. The sun lit up and it's on water, the same as it was in the first series. Apollo myth has being born in a "lake"
Amata didn't have strings in the first episode. The strings on Apollo FORMED WINGS. That didn't happen. Amata merely lifted Aquarion so he could fly... There is more that connects Kagura to Apollo and Apollonius than it is for Amata
Silvia and Sirius have been depicted with wings in ED and Promotional art
honestly you don't see that much of Apollonious personality and if you look at my earlier post I actually showed how they weren't that different. What we saw of Apollonious and Celiane---they were like Silvia and Apollo
There is nothing but wings that says Amata would be the reincarnation. That's it and he has more in common with Silvia and Celiane than he does Apollonious and Apollo. Where is Apollon? How come we don't see him. Does that really make sense to you? It' doesn't to me
Kagura has never been "in" Aquarion, so how could Apollonius appear if he's NOT inside Aqaurion. Yet Kagura knew it was the "Machine Angel" ...he recognized Aquarion instantly
There is no way that Kagura could be Apollo while Amata is Apollonius...they're the same soul with different names. Either Amata is a a part of all of them Apollon/Apollonious/Apollo/Kagura or he isn't
Look up Prometheus and Apollo and then see how Evol has already confirmed that Kagura is the reincarnation of Apollon/Apollonious/Apollo
He's not like Apollo, he is Apollo in every way. I have to go but I will go into detail later

That is one question you really have to ask yourself. It isn't impossible that Amata AND Kagura are part of Apollonius, which is why Kagura cannot smell him because he smells himself. So what if Kagura is just Apollo and Amata is Apollonius directly? Sirius and Silvia were both Celienne and Apollo regarded they had similar/same scent. However, if Apollonius was split in two, of course Kagura would only smell himself when sniffing Amata.

Kagura hasn't had a personality transfer--true, but he's also never piloted Aquarion either. Apollo could smell himself and Apollonius ...
Apollo also said he'd never forget her smell, he feels as if he's always known him and Mikono also said that she felt that he had feelings for her before, despite knowing him. She has never ever said that about Amata.. Amata doesn't smell her either..which is why I think he's a false soul and not a real one or he's a small part of Apollon...but for the most part Kagura is
Fuck what time does it air, why won't anyone tell me

Can we call it truce until then?
I think the question of whom is whom will have to wait till later episodes because right now, we don't have nearly enough proof to make any theories hold water. At 6 episodes... nothing can be proven sadly.

I mean, seriously - regardless of reincarnation, regardless of who you ship, which boy you prefer or what you hope for, Amata is the protagonist of this show. He has been chosen by the "legend". I think it's safe to say that he's not just some freaky creation whose entire purpose is being a cockblock.
(SO not touching the rest...)

On another note, the OP & ED singles came out today.
I'm addicted to the OP song by Akino with bless 4. However, the ED is kinda meh to me. I don't really like it as much.
Honestly, speaking of that "cheesy" scene between Amata and Mikono, I have to say that this series has the best of Yoko Kanno to it. I love the music. That scene alone just pulls me in for its beautiful music. Call it "cheesy" but I love music as a separate piece.

Cayenne/Shrade/Sazanka..........okay, maybe not this one, since Donnar has already stated that Amata is pretty much set as the default pilot for Vector Z so he's there to Sousei Gattai into Aquarion EVOL. But it wouldn't be far-fetched for a situation to arise where Amata is unavailable....
And the reason Andy has been getting booted out of Sousei Gattais is because his first time will be with MIX. You know it. (sexual innuendo fully intended )

Each of the three boxes on my page should have a 1px border. As you can see, only the center box is showing the border:
Each box is a widget. When each widget points to the "living your yoga" category, borders appear around each box. When I added the "connections" and "masters" categories, the borders disappeared. I am completely stumped as to why this happened. I did not add any plugins. I did not change the CSS. I did not do anything except create the two new categories and point the widgets to them.
Could this be a bug? Any help greatly appreciated!

From NBC's Chuck Todd and Mark Murray
Possibly for the fifth-consecutive day, the attention in the presidential race won't be on Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain, or Rudy Giuliani -- but instead on John Edwards and his wife. The focus on the couple began on Thursday, when they announced that Elizabeth's cancer had returned but that the campaign would go on. It carried over to the weekend, ending with their joint appearance on 60 Minutes. And today, Elizabeth -- in front of more TV cameras and reporters than would have appeared a week ago -- addresses the City Club of Cleveland, while her husband holds a roundtable discussion on global warming with reporters in San Francisco.
People might not be sure what they're thinking about John Edwards and his decision to stay in the race. But one thing is for sure: They're thinking about him.

Olive Oil & Clementine Bundt Cake Recipe
It's the new year, which means many of us are trying to eat better and cook nutritious meals. Sneaking healthier ingredients into your favorite foods is a fun challenge, and what better to experiment with than dessert!
Baking with olive oil is a wonderful way to lighten up baked goods and adds a fruity flavor to a variety of treats like cakes, cookies, and pie crusts. Used in place of less desirable fats like butter and shortening, its heart-healthy properties can make us all feel a little less guilty about indulging in a piece of cake.
This recipe for Olive Oil and Clementine Bundt Cake, adapted from the glorious cookbookBaked Explorations, will become your new go-to cake. It's not dense and heavy like most Bundt cakes, and features the bright and tart flavor of the seasonal clementines at your local market. You can enjoy this for dessert with a spoonful of whipped cream, or have a slice with your morning coffee. Pick up a fruity bottle of olive oil this weekend and conduct your own experiment.
Using high-quality olive oil is important. Don't use your everyday stuff – the cake showcases the olive oil's flavor. My favorite is from O. & Co.
Adapted from Baked Explorations: Classic American Desserts Reinvented
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 large eggs, separated
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly grated zest of 3 clementine oranges
1 tsp vanilla paste, or 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Freshly whipped cream(optional)
Photo: Tara O'Keeffe
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously spray the inside of a 10-inch Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together over a large bowl. Set aside.
3. Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (a hand mixer will work too), beat the egg yolks until they are pale and light. Slowly add in the sugar and continue mixing until it is completely incorporated. Add the yogurt and olive oil and mix thoroughly. Add the orange zest and vanilla, and mix until just incorporated.
4. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in two parts, beating after each addition until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat again for a few seconds. Transfer the cake batter into a large bowl and prepare the mixing bowl for use.
5. This time using the mixer with the whisk attachment, add the egg whites and beat until stiff peaks form when you hold up the whisk. Scoop 1 cup of the egg whites into the batter. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold them in, carefully turning the bowl with each fold, until just incorporated. Add the remaining egg whites and repeat. Take your time with this step, rushing will prevent your cake from getting a proper rise.
6. Pour the batter into the Bundt pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Place your cake plate on top of the Bundt pan and invert to remove the cake. Tap the top of the pan with a knife to help this along. Just before serving, dust with confectioners sugar.
7. Store the cake tightly covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out.

Charles E. Barber
17.90 mm
2.50 grams
90% Silver, 10% Copper
The 1905-O Micro O Barber Dime was created when a die sinker used a mintmark punch intended for a quarter dollar which, ironically, is smaller than that used on the dimes. According to Walter Breen, this variety was discovered by Howard Newcomb circa 1912; yes, that's the same Newcomb who is famous for his reference work on die varieties of 1816-1857 large cents.
This is a relatively scarce variety made all the more popular because it is the only major variety of the series. The finest example is a single PCGS MS66.

Israel says foils al-Qaida plot on US Embassy
Israel on Wednesday said it had foiled an "advanced" al-Qaida plan to carry out a suicide bombing on the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv and bomb other targets, in what analysts said was the first time the global terror network's leadership has been directly involved in plotting an attack inside Israel.
The Shin Bet intelligence agency said it had arrested three Palestinians who allegedly plotted bombings, shootings, kidnappings and other attacks. It said the Palestinian men, two from Jerusalem and one from the West Bank, were recruited by an operative based in the Gaza Strip who worked for al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
While a number of groups inspired by al-Qaida have carried out attacks against Israel before, this appeared to mark the first time an attack was directly planned by al-Qaida leaders.
The Shin Bet said the Palestinians planned on attacking a Jerusalem conference center with firearms and then kill rescue workers with a truck bomb. Al-Qaida also planned to send foreign militants to attack the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv on the same day using explosives supplied by the Palestinians, it said.
It said five men whose identity and nationality were not disclosed were to fly into Israel with fake Russian passports to attack the American embassy. It was not clear where the men are located.
The Palestinian operatives had planned on several other attacks, it said. One included shooting out the tires of a bus and then gunning down passengers and ambulance workers.
The agency said it the plot was in "advanced planning stages" but gave no further information on how close the men got to carrying it out. It said the Palestinians from Jerusalem had used their Israeli resident cards to scope out and gather intelligence on targets. They were arrested in the past few weeks, it said.
A number of al-Qaida-inspired groups have carried out rocket attacks from Gaza and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, as well as shootings in the West Bank. Israeli intelligence calls these groups part of a "global jihad" movement.
Aviv Oreg, a former head of the Israeli military intelligence unit that tracks al-Qaida, said the plot marked the first time it has been directly linked to an attempted attack in Israel.
"This is the first time that Ayman al-Zawahiri was directly involved," he said. "For them, it would have been a great achievement."
The Shin Bet said the three suspects made contact with al-Qaida over the Internet. It said they planned on traveling to Syria — where various jihadist groups are battling the forces of President Bashar Assad — for training.
Oreg said that many foreign fighters fighting the Assad regime are from Chechnya and predominantly Muslim parts of Russia and speculated that the militants with the phony documents would be from there.
Al-Qaida-inspired groups are on the rise in the Gaza Strip, which is run by the Islamic militant Hamas.
These groups accuse Hamas of being too lenient because it has observed cease-fires with Israel and has stopped short of imposing Islamic religious law, or Shariah, in Gaza.
In the West Bank, Israel and the Palestinian Authority of Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas have cracked down on Islamic militants. Three Salafis were killed in a shootout with Israeli soldiers in the West Bank last November.

Column: Hard work gets Lukas a record
The old guy still gets up crack-of-dawn early.
Not because D. Wayne Lukas has something left to prove, or anything more to gain. He already has it all: Fame, fortune, a bronze plaque in the Hall of Fame and – after lightly-regarded Oxbow stunned Orb on Saturday at the Preakness – he has the top spot in the Triple Crown trainer's record book, too, passing "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons with No. 14.
"It's been a while," Lukas chuckled, "but it never gets old.
"I ran last with the first horse I started. The second one doesn't even finish," he added a moment later. "What a roller coaster."
Lukas was thoroughbred racing's first organization man, a former Wisconsin high school basketball coach who brought the principle of "flooding the zone" from the court to the race track.
When he cracked the big time with a horse named Codex at the Preakness in 1980, fans of the sport still thought of it as art, but Lukas relied on cold-blood science. The top trainers at the time were folksy guys like Woody Stephens and wise-cracking Charlie Whittingham, but Lukas was undeniably corporate.
The gravel outside his barns was always perfectly raked, his buttoned-down shirts pressed to match. While his more famous rivals focused on one or two quality horses, Lukas overwhelmed the game with quantity, setting up cookie-cutter operations in dozens of barns from coast to coast and bringing three, four and sometimes even five mounts to the Kentucky Derby.
By the mid-1990s, he perfected the approach, at one point winning six Triple Crown races in a row with four different horses. He shuffled jockeys like a deck of cards and balanced the competing demands of those owners, all the while never taking his eye off the ball or the business. But then rivals like Bob Baffert and disciple Todd Pletcher, who borrowed liberally from Lukas' playbook, began stealing his thunder.
Now 77, Lukas hadn't won a Triple Crown race since 2000 and became a sort of eminence grise, holding court regularly outside his barn at the classic races, more charming than competitive. His return to Derby year after year, despite not having a real shot to win it, became a kind of running joke.
Just two weeks ago at Churchill Downs, Lukas poked fun at himself on that very topic. When someone reminded him he'd brought 44 horses to the Derby – a race he'd last won with Charismatic in 1999 – he laughed and said, "I lied to you; 35 of `em I didn't want to run."
Yet Lukas never lost his zeal. He's still the first trainer up on a horse and out on the track in the morning, and every bit as gracious as always. While the entire sport was focused on Orb, trainer Shug McGaughey and the potential to see the sport's first Triple Crown winner in 36 years, Lukas sidled up to him two mornings ago and said "We got another one on the agenda."
Standing outside his barn in shirt sleeves, McGaughey told the tale after getting beat, without being entirely sure whether that encouraging bit about another big win was meant for him or for Lukas himself. Either way, McGaughey was hard-pressed to think of someone more deserving. That sentiment rippled through the trainers' ranks.
"We were out of it early," said Baffert, who became a close of pal of Lukas' over the last few years, "and after it was clear Orb couldn't win it, we all got behind Wayne and (jockey) Gary Stevens."
That part of this win will go largely unnoticed by some, but not Stevens. At 50, the jockey now has nine Triple Crown wins on his resume – three at each of the classics – but Stevens was out of the sport for seven years. In a nice bit of symmetry, Lukas gave Stevens his first Triple Crown-winning mount with Winning Colors.
"Wayne put me on the map," Stevens recalled. "When you win that first classic, your phone starts ringing, people want you. … This is super, super sweet and it happened for the right guy."
Not long after, the "right guy" was asked about his travel plans for Oxbow, who's likely headed for the Belmont after a stop at Churchill Downs.
"4:30 tomorrow morning," Lukas announced, "if you want to watch him load on that van. My truck driver and I will get in that big old truck, and we'll head down the road and make about two Wendy's stops on the way and be in Louisville, Ky., but 5:30 tomorrow night.
As a few reporters rolled their eyes, Lukas continued, "Some of us in this great nation get up and get after in the morning. Others sleep in."
None of that would have surprised Baffert, or any of the other members of the fraternity.
"Wayne loves it so much, when he goes, I'm pretty sure we're going to find him lying in the shed row one morning and holler, `Hey Wayne, why are you sleeping?"'

ASUH leadership, UH students rally in support of Governor's budgetUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Dir of Communications, External Affairs and University Relations
Two days before the opening of the 2014 Hawai'i State Legislature, the president of the Associated Students of the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (ASUH), ASUH senators, students and State Rep. Takashi Ohno gathered in the State Capitol Rotunda in a show of support for Gov. Neil Abercrombie's executive budget.
ASUH President Richard Mizusawa praised the governor for supporting public education in Hawai'i. "Not only am I elated to see his support of the Board of Regents' request to restore UH faculty salaries, I am also excited to have the backlog of deferred maintenance be addressed in the upcoming legislative session. As many students have noted, the atmosphere of the campus is an important issue, not only for aesthetics but also for educational support, our health and safety," Mizusawa said.
Mizusawa and more than a dozen student supporters took time off from the first day of the 2014 spring semester to urge state lawmakers to support UH students.
"As president of the ASUH Senate, my fellow elected student leaders and I have a commitment to ensure that the student voice is heard not only by our university administration but also by our state legislators who have a tremendous impact on student life at the University of Hawai'i," Mizusawa said.

The 2012 grand list of taxable property shows an increase of 0.23 percent, or $13.56 million, over the 2011 list for a total of $5.89 billion.
The assessed value of personal property in town increased the most - $4.53 million, or 2.8 percent, for a total of $168.33 million, according to a memo from Director of Assessments Joseph Dakers Sr. to Town Manager Ronald Van Winkle.
"This reflects new capital investment in business furniture, fixtures, equipment and utility company cables and conduit," Dakers wrote.
The value of real estate in town grew by $15.53 million, or 0.29 percent for a total assessed value of $5.32 million, according to the memo. Most of the increase is thanks to new construction, and two tax exempt properties being reclassified as taxable, Dakers said in the memo.
The motor vehicle list showed a 1.6 percent decrease over last year, dropping by $6.5 million to $402.21 million. The drop was caused by "the return of double digit depreciation," Dakers wrote.
The 10 highest taxpayers in town, and their assessed values, are: Blue Back Square LLC, $84.23 million; West Farms Mall, $37.8 million; Connecticut Light & Power, $33.93 million; FW CT – Corbins Corner, $33.48 million; Town Center West Associates, $24.93 million; Sisters of Mercy of Connecticut Inc., $16.85 million; Lexham West Hartford LLC, $14.83 million; Prospect Plaza Improvements LLC, $13.99 million; Westgate Apartments LLC, $13.24 million and Outlet Broadcasting Inc., $11.84 million.

Ed Bott contacted HP and Dell, and while his report is a bit abrasive, the gist of the matter is this. Dell confirmed that they have plans to ship Windows 8 machines with the ability to turn secure boot off in UEFI, while HP had no idea what was going on. BIOS maker AMI, meanwhile, has said it will advise OEMs to not remove the option, but adds that they can't mandate as such.
A Dell spokesperson told Bott that "Dell has plans to make SecureBoot an enable/disable option in BIOS setup". Dell plans to move to UEFI with secure boot in the Windows 8 time frame. Unlike how Bott presents it, 'having plans' is of course far from a definitive promise - but at least it's somewhat reassuring.
HP, sadly, was less clear. "HP will continue to offer its customers a choice of operating systems," HP told Bott, "We are working with industry partners to evaluate the options that will best serve our customers." Nobody at HP was apparently even aware of the issue, which means this is a general PR statement with zero actual value.
Lastly, BIOS maker AMI stated that it "will advise OEMs to provide a default configuration that allows users to enable/disable secure boot, but it remains the choice of the OEM to do (or not do) so". This is entirely reasonable - AMI just provides a software package, it doesn't control what OEMs remove and include.
None of this is the reassuring words Bott makes them out to be. There are no promises, no assurances, nothing. My biggest fear is that like with BIOS today, every computer - even revisions within the same model - will have its own unique UEFI implementation, some of them broken and/or limited, without any means of telling which features are supported and implemented and which aren't. Heck, I've encountered countless BIOS implementations over the years which only allowed you to change the boot drive order, and nothing else.
All in all, this issue is far from over, and what Bott has presented us with so far is by no means the smoking gun. Considering Microsoft's history of anti-competitive practices, its current patent troll behaviour, and the general incompetence of OEMs, it's entirely reasonable and smart for us geeks to be on our toes.

Genre: Action role-playing game
Dark Souls continues where Demon's Souls infamously left off, and that's by offering a challenge of the soul-crushing variety. A seemingly simple action role-playing game on the surface, the enemies and trials that await its many dungeons can be devastating to the unprepared and foolhardy.
Attacks by the most simple of foes will knock serious chunks off your health, while traps, such as rolling boulders or trapdoors, will gleefully kill if you aren't looking out for them. Dark Souls is a continuous gauntlet of unknown and very dangerous tasks, and it's very difficult to get through them unscathed.
Dark Souls also features the same unique and superb features that made it truly stand out. Dying will see souls, a currency earned from killing enemies that can be used for levelling and buying new items, dropped at the point of defeat, for you to pick up again on your next attempt. But fail to get there the next time and the sum is lost for good, making subsequent runs more tense than the last.
Elsewhere, its clever online features return, allowing players help each other with notes in the field, such as a warnings for impending dangers lurking round the next corner, or maybe to spread a few lies to lure them to their doom. Those traits make their transition into Dark Souls with ease, and they hold up just as strong. However, the key difference here is how the world is explored.
While Demon's Souls had you jump in and out of different dungeons from a hub world, Dark Souls is a far more free roaming affair. While it can't really be classed as an open world – areas are closed off and opened through the course of your story and actions, not unlike Metroid or Castlevania - the scope and sense of exploration is far wider.
The world around you is far more convincing, too. Demon's Souls had terrific environmental and enemy design that was dark, moody and terrifying, but having to return a safe location before being transported to somewhere thematically different was a jarring experience. Here, you have to physically wander from one area to a next, which bestows a far more adventurous feel to exploration.
Dark Souls regularly opens up to grand vistas of surrounding mountains dotted with faraway paths and castles, sights made more exhilarating because you know at some point you'll be stood at that vantage point looking back, even if it's a dozen or so hours later.
The more open scope also works devilishly well with the challenge and level of tension of the game, not knowing what's round the corner or what you'll encounter next. You'll often find yourself hours into a dungeon, not knowing where to take the left or right path, or whether to risk taking on a new enemy in the hope that there is an all-important, life-saving bonfire on the other side. There was always a risk to exploration in Demon's Souls, but having it part of a vaster, stranger world makes it far more daunting, in the most thrilling way.
Despite its jaw-dropping vistas, Dark Souls's visuals can come across as a little stale. While the art and menu presentation is pleasingly styled in an old fashioned manner, within the game itself objects can come across as ugly up close, while certain areas sees the framerate reduce almost to a standstill. Voice acting in the game is also shockingly bad, but thankfully, exploration is slow and lonely enough that these factors are rarely an issue.
There's also no denying that the barrier to entry is very steep. While it's far from an impossible challenge, it's most certainly a formidable one. The slow-paced and thorough approach to exploration and combat, which is utterly essential to survival, is something that comes with time, practice and a lot of patience.
The level of constant danger and tension never changes, but your approach to the game does, and once it all clicks into place, the rewards and level of elation gained from success is something few other games can provide.
Dark Souls is intentionally stubborn and mysterious throughout, and seemingly resists your efforts to improve, but that's all part of what makes it so enjoyable. It's a game that regularly throws away entire afternoons or evenings of progress because of a simple mistake or surprise encounter, but that only makes you all the more eager to dust yourself off and do better next time. And how many games can you say that about?

OTTAWA, June 26 (UPI) -- Canada is building up arctic defenses as part of its long-term program of projecting Canadian presence in a region increasingly claimed by competing powers.
Effects, including melting ice, of global climate change on the Arctic Ocean and Arctic Circle have raised possibilities the region may open up to maritime navigation and competing naval operations by Canada and neighbors in Europe.
The buildup will likely increase the deployment of advanced craft, including stealth snowmobiles and the unmanned aerial vehicles, DefenseNews.com reported.
An increasing number of aviation and defense industries are joining the competition to win Canadian military contracts for a range of equipment aimed at increasing Canada's capability in the arctic region.
Canada conducted military exercises in Norway earlier this year to test its capability in severe weather conditions and will follow up with training exercises on its own territory.
A new arctic training base will push the military exercises forward and is part of a plan that includes acquisitions of new patrol craft and a Polar class icebreaker. The all-terrain vehicles will form a new fleet expected to cost $2.92 billion. The current estimates for the icebreaker exceed $680 million.
Northrop Grumman is in line to try and sell a fleet of Global Hawk UAVs capable of patrolling the arctic region.
Amid continuing controversy over Canadian plans for the purchase of multiples of Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper is treading cautiously over the arctic defense program.
At the same time, however, Harper's government is keen to project Canadian sovereignty over arctic territories designated as part of Canada.
General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada and ST Kinetics, a Singapore firm, also have their eye on the Army project and have joined forces to promote the Bronco New-Generation Marginal Terrain Vehicle, DefenseNews.com said.
Arktos Developments, an amphibious craft manufacturer from Surrey, British Columbia, is aiming to market its amphibious craft to operate in tandem with the patrol boats and the planned icebreaker.
Other plans for Canada's arctic defense include a stealth snowmobile with a hybrid gas-electric engine.
Harper first unveiled his arctic military development program in 2007, when he said, "Canada has a choice when it comes to defending our sovereignty over the Arctic; we either use it or lose it."
He said exploration of the arctic energy and mineral resources was critical to Canada's growth. A 500-member force will be focused on defense of the arctic and assertion of Canadian sovereignty.

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a spectrum of issues involving problem drinking. The drinking continues even though it is clearly associated with physical, mental, and social health problems.
The specific cause of AUD is unknown. It is often a complex combination of factors, including genetics and environment.
Factors that may increase your chance of AUD include:
Symptoms can vary between people. The most common signs and symptoms of AUD include:
alcohol use can lead to tolerance. As a result, greater amounts of alcohol are needed to reach intoxication.
A sudden withdrawal of alcohol can also cause physical symptoms in people who have developed a physical dependence. Withdrawal symptoms may include:
AUD is linked to the development of serious health complications and early death.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. AUD is diagnosed based on information collected from specific questions, such as number of drinks, social habits, lifestyle changes, and personal relationships. If a family member or friend is present, they may be asked questions as well.
There is no test for AUD. Further tests may be needed if there are some signs of related illness or organ damage.
The first and most important step is recognizing that a problem exists. Successful treatment depends on the desire to change. Denial is common in people with AUD. Support and counseling is available for family and friends who have a loved one with AUD who is in denial.
AUD treatment is aimed at teaching you how to manage the disease. Most professionals believe that this means giving up alcohol completely and permanently. A combination of approaches is most effective. Medical support may be needed to safely manage withdraw from alcohol. This could require hospitalization in a detoxification center. Support may include medications, fluid or nutrition support, and general monitoring by professional staff.
Treatment to maintain management of disorder may include:
Certain medications may help prevent relapse, such as those that:
AUD affects all aspects of life, including relationships, family, and work. Counseling is a large part of AUD treatment. It may be one-on-one, in a group, or with other family members. Counseling works to improve coping skills and learn other ways of dealing with stress or pain. Counseling that helps develop coping mechanisms may also be useful for family members.
Treatment and counseling take time. What works for some may not work for others. Some aspects include professional interventions, education, self-help plans, and follow-up via computers or text messaging. The length of time involved in counseling depends on how many problems are affected by AUD.
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) helps many people to stop drinking and stay sober. Members meet regularly and support each other. Your family members may also benefit from attending meetings of Al-Anon. Living with an alcoholic can be a painful, stressful situation.
Relapse is common in people who are recovering from an addiction. Treatment, like taking medication and working with a therapist, may help reduce your chance of drinking and give you the support that you need if you do have a relapse.
AUD affects the body's major organs, including the brain, heart, liver, and pancreas. Treatment for AUD may also include medical treatment for life-threatening health conditions. These may include:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
It may not be possible to prevent AUD, but it tends to run in families. If you have family members that have a history of problem drinking, be aware that you may have an increased risk for addictive behaviors.
Education and structured programs can help children and teens learn about alcohol and how it affects families and society. If you are a parent, be a good role model for your children by avoiding alcohol or drinking in moderation in a safe environment and without driving. Moderation is is one drink or less per day for women and two drinks or less per day for men.

The issue: Job in clerk's office
The issue: Job in clerk's office
"Believe me, he didn't get (the job) because of his father, he got it in spite of his father. He is technologically savvy. There are numerous reasons why I hired him."
It's no wonder Phil Giavasis sounds defensive about hiring Kody Gonzalez as his deputy. Not only is Gonzalez the son of Randy Gonzalez, Giavasis' retiring deputy, but Randy Gonzalez runs the Stark County Democratic Party and Giavasis is a Democratic officeholder.
With politics and government held in such low regard these days, some people can get absolutely giddy at any opportunity to shout "Nepotism!" and "Cronyism!" So why do politicians and officeholders make it so easy?
Kody Gonzalez may be a good fit for the job. At the county recorder's office, he is responsible for the computer systems; his new job will include managing the online Stark County Criminal Justice Information System. But is he the best-qualified person? No one will ever know because Giavasis didn't advertise the position. He didn't see who else is out there.
Technically, this isn't nepotism. Randy Gonzalez isn't hiring his son. Father and son won't be working together. But surely Giavasis could see the pitfalls of the political connections, especially considering Gonzalez's third advantage — he is working in another county office that's headed by a Democrat, Recorder Rick Campbell.
Why shouldn't ordinary Stark Countians see all of this as adding up to an inside track for Gonzalez, no matter how Giavasis defends his decision? By seeking other applicants — even if Gonzalez had emerged the winner — Giavasis would have used a transparent process that let the public make its own judgments.
Gonzalez's hiring comes at an especially unfortunate time, as Democratic politics and governance are inextricably linked in the tumult surrounding the Stark County Sheriff's Office. Was this one hire really worth opening this can of worms wider?

How fortunate I have been to have Judy for one of my sisters. She has been a great example and such a dear friend. She has endured the years of listening to me dream my dreams without judgment and has shared her life with me in a way that has helped me be a better person (and if that didn't happen it isn't because she hasn't tried). This photo was taken in 1960 (?) as Judy and Bob moved from their very tiny apartment in Provo to Washington State by way of Penrose.
This is not a great picture for clarity, but it definitely shows a spirited side of Judy (in other words, the REAL Judy). We both had a skirt like she is wearing, and what fun they were to wear. If you note, our school books are sitting on the porch, so perhaps this was a first day of school picture for Judy's senior year???? Also, the rose bushes behind us were instigated by Judy and a home ec. project she took on. Thanks to her, the roses added a nice touch and were the beginning of flower beds that eventually went around the corner and along the south side of the house, just a little.
Remember how we would play "burn out" catch with Dad? This must have been Judy's turn, and the pickup must have been playing back stop.
None of these pictures are terribly clear, but they are full of happy memories of someone very special in my life. Happy Birthday, Judy. Love you lots.

Thank you, Ann! Isn't funny how all of those "little" tidbits are such a big part of who we are and what we have become. The sentiments are returned....many times over.

I don't get the underlined parts in the following. Please help me out.
1. He's in a simple black jacket and a white shirt buttoned all the way up, looking old as the hills, straight out of American Gothic.
2. ...in a little wooden house built up off the ground.
(the house was built up a certain distance from the ground? There was some space between the ground and the base of the house? )
3. She also stuffed me at every meal, because conventional wisdom at the time was that a fat baby was a healthy one, as long as he bathed every day.
4. For all their own demons, my grandparents always made me feel I was the most important person in the world to them.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--During the year ahead many enterprises will look for effective steps to better manage information in order to realize important business benefits. One area that can potentially improve efficiency, reduce risk and enhance compliance may come as a surprise to many businesses: records management.
Why a surprise? The reason is that while most organizations recognize the value of effectively managing information, many of them do not dedicate the necessary resources to an important subset of this activity. This occurs despite the fact that successful records programs are critical for effectual governance, risk management, reputation protection and strategic decision making. The good news is that records management best practices – whether outsourced or managed internally – can yield important business benefits. Canon Business Process Services, Inc., a leading provider of managed services and technology, spotlights six of these practices to consider for 2013:
- Process analysis – Analyze current processes and procedures to create a benchmark between the current state and desired outcome.
- Records classification – Either at creation or upon receipt, classify each record as such to ensure that it is recognized appropriately, and then separate the documents that have no value or are copies and can thus be discarded.
- Retention and Disposition – Create a retention schedule that will help determine what data or information should be declared a record, and how each record should be managed throughout its lifecycle. This also includes the later stages such as disposition, when either permanent archiving or destruction takes place.
- Electronic Records Management – Manage records electronically, which can dramatically reduce document retrieval time, freeing up staff to work on tasks of higher value than filing, storing and searching.
- Physical Records Management – Establish a records center for secure access to physical records. This should involve rigorous electronic tracking to allow for more efficient archiving and retrieval. It is important to note that electronic and paper-based records should be managed in a similar fashion, not disjointedly as is the norm within many corporations.
- Document Imaging and Data Capture – Utilize paper to digital conversion services and technology that includes scanning, coding, OCR (optical character recognition) and document discovery.

Prep football roundup from Friday
The Lakeland football team needed a big win.
On Friday night, the Lakers got one.
Lakeland topped Churubusco 14-13 for the school's first win over the Eagles since the 2007 season.
The victory also snapped a 2-game skid by the Lakers.
All 14 of Lakeland's points game in the first half.
Lakeland got on the board in the opening quarter with a 50-yard TD pass from William Kelly to Wyatt Petty. Churubusco was able to answer in the second quarter to tie the game.
Lakeland finished with just 129 yards of total offense in the game, but got some help from their defense.
Morgan Moore intercepted a pass at his own 5-yard-line and rumbled 95 yards for the touchdown. The extra point made it 14-7 Lakers.
Late in the fourth, Churubusco scored and looked to tie the game. However, they went for the 2-point conversion and the win, but Hayden Kilgore was stopped at the 2-yard-line.
Kelly completed 10 of his 22 pass attempts for 117 yards.
Leading the Lakers in rushing was Taylor Raatz with five carries and 16 yards. Thomas Roebel had eight carries for 12.

Johns Hopkins University reversed course on its stance against a student pro-life group, granting the organization full recognition late Tuesday.
The student judiciary unanimously overturned an earlier decision by the student senate to deny Voice for Life (VFL) recognition because its planned activities included sidewalk counseling outside abortion facilities.
According to minutes of the March 12 meeting, during which the club was denied official recognition, members of the senate said they feared the group would "make people uncomfortable." They also suggested the pro-life group shouldn't get recognition because the school's pro-abortion group had disbanded.
In a letter protesting the decision, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education warned the school it was on shaky legal ground: "The viewpoint-based rejection of VFL in this case contradicts the principles established by the Supreme Court when it held that public universities are required to grant expressive student organizations recognition and access to the funding of student activities on a viewpoint-neutral basis. … Although the [Student Government Association] is not legally bound by the First Amendment, it fundamentally abandons Johns Hopkins' institutional commitment to free speech and undermines First Amendment principles when it acts to stifle speech that it does not like."
Johns Hopkins is a private university, not bound by First Amendment protections, but the school pledges to protect the free exchange of ideas on campus.
School administrators, who had not interfered with the student senate's process, said in a letter to Voice for Life organizers the school did not believe the group's activities would violate school policy.
"A student group's distribution of literature and advocacy of its viewpoint, in the manner set out in your email, would not constitute harassment within the meaning of these policies," wrote Caroline Laguerre-Brown, the school's vice provost for institutional equity. "In fact, such conduct is fully in accord with the university's robust commitment to the values of free expression and open debate that is articulated in these policies."

Real Madrid and FC Bayern Munich are the two teams I have personally picked to meet in the Champions League Final.
Bayern are, without a shadow of a doubt, the best team in Europe at the moment however Real Madrid have the best player in the world in their team - Cristiano Ronaldo.
Madrid recently came off a dominating win over Real Betis with a belter from Ronaldo. On the other hand, Bayern are currently enjoying a winter break but the Bundesliga kicks off again this weekend and Bayern will be back to dominating in no time.
Bayern simply can't be stopped at the moment. No-one, including their main rivals Borussia Dortmund, appear consistently able to beat them so honestly speaking it looks like they are going to win the league once again.
Madrid seem to be struggle to do in the league but they are absolutely dominating in the Champions League. La Liga is perhaps out of their reach right now so they should focus on winning their 10th Champions League title and they could well do it this season.
They will have to battle Bayern Munich, though, who also seem to be on a one way trip to the final. If they do win for the second consecutive time, I wouldn't be too surprised.
Bayern have a fantastic coach and the best midfield in the whole of Europe. They don't have a world-class strike,r but they still manage to win regardless.
