Herbicides and Lymphoma in Dogs
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My dog developed lymphosarcoma. I saw articles linking the 2,4-d herbicide chemical to lymphoma in dogs. I realized I used a fertilizer weed control mix that contained this chemical. I only used it once, but she loved to eat the crab grass at the edges. I feel this may have triggered the cancer. Do you think this caused her cancer?
Lili Duda, VMD, Section Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Menu, responds:
Well, this is a very difficult question and hard to answer. However, the short answer is "NO", the herbicide did not cause the lymphoma. What causes lymphoma is not known. What is known is that there are risk factors for lymphoma, and if they are present an animal is more likely to develop lymphoma. 2,4-d herbicide is suggested to be a weak risk factor in a few studies of canine lymphoma. However, the fact is that this is an extremely common lawn chemical, and the vast majority of dogs exposed to this chemical do not develop lymphoma. At the most, it might have been a minor contributing factor along with a host of other predisposing factors. For example, several breeds of dogs are much more likely to develop lymphoma than the general population.

I was one of the two visitors involved in the Holtavörðuheiði accident back in December.
I am writing in hopes of passing on our appreciation to all the locals who assisted us during that very difficult period of time.
My friend and I were very lucky to survive the accident, and it is unfortunate that the Icelandic driver that crashed into us did not.
At the accident site, there were several locals who stopped to assist. In particular, there was an off-duty ICU nurse and two young ladies (from Blönduós, I believe, according to the accident report) who checked on us and stayed with us until the ambulance from Borgarnes arrived. There were of course many others as well, but I never got the chance to find out more about them. During the wait, the snow started blowing stronger and it was getting very cold. They gave us sweaters and blankets (I believe the nurse actually had a thermal shock blanket which was very useful) and also tried to reassure us.
The Borgarnes ambulance team was also fantastic in handling the situation. The ER department in Landspítali National University Hospital was also fantastic during our stay there.
I alone was discharged that same evening and had to find accommodation in Reykjavík. The next day, I realized that I needed to stay longer in the same accommodation as my friend wasn't yet discharged. I also had to spend the day trying to contact the Borgarnes police as not all our luggage came with us to Reykjavík (my friend's passport and wallet etc. was all left in the car). Þóra from Norðurey Guesthouse was great in making it easy for me to book another night at the same price.
When we finally left Iceland on Boxing Day, the flight attendants on Icelandair were exceptional in trying to make us comfortable. Even though the flight got very delayed and we had to disembark and swap aircraft, we didn't feel too distressed (it was very frustrating but bearable) due to the flight attendants.
The accident was a very unfortunate mar to the otherwise amazing experience in Iceland prior to that. However, the Icelandic people who assisted us definitely made the whole situation manageable.
My friend, Kate H., and I are not fully recovered from the accident, even four months on, but are progressing well.

Car Review
2013 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster: Overview
Pros: One of the most visually -- and viscerally -- stunning vehicles money can buy; unlike past open-air Lambos, the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster's removable hardtop is an engineering tour de force, not an afterthought; surprisingly civilized decibel levels during most driving conditions; open-air configuration sacrifices virtually no body stiffness
Cons: Single-clutch gearbox is abrupt and, when driven aggressively, downright violent; discreet drivers need not apply -- stealth mode isn't an option here; even with an obscene price, you'll need an optional interior package to keep the trim from feeling plasticky; all that personality can get grating at lower speeds
What's New: Lop the top off the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 coupe and you'll get an even more hyperbolic hypercar with the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster. The roof consists of two removable carbon fiber panels weighing only 13.2 pounds each, and stowage requires the awkward (but eventually tidy) process of wedging them into the front compartment. In addition to structural reinforcements, a re-worked engine cover keeps its peekaboo glass panel setup; the al fresco Aventador also gains engine tweaks, which incorporate cylinder deactivation and a stop/start system for better fuel efficiency. Suspension tweaks also offer refinements in ride quality, and a pop-up rollbar has been added for the invariable Wrecked Exotics cameo.
Like its closed coupe stablemate, the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster makes a stunning statement wrapped in bodywork that seems straight from the dreams of adolescent enthusiasts. That this chiseled convertible would look at home on a poster in virtually any kid's bedroom wall speaks volumes to Lamborghini designers' abilities to stir automotive desire, but even more motivating than its appearance is how the Aventador Roadster feels from behind the wheel.
With the top in place, you'd be hard-pressed to notice a difference between Roadster and coupe versions; the exhaust note is surprisingly quiet during sedate driving (that is, until you lower the rear window and let the sonorous sounds of the 6.5-liter V12 into the cabin), and the torsional stiffness between the two cars is identical. But ditch the roof and this Lambo's personality becomes more raucous and wild than ever before. It's not just the sound levels (which register at a surprisingly quiet 60 db at 60 miles per hour during top-down motoring), but rather the way this supercar feels when you lay into the throttle.
Thanks to 691 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque routed through the automated single-clutch transmission, this Lamborghini can accelerate with ferocious urgency from 0 to 62 mph in three seconds flat. Top speed remains unchanged at an eyeball-drying 217 mph, and the handling never feels as though it misses a beat, with snappy responsiveness thanks to an inboard-mounted pushrod suspension system that has more in common with Formula 1 race cars than virtually anything else on the road.
Priced at $445,300, this wild beast of a roadster is accessible only to a thin slice of motoring enthusiasts who are both well-heeled and adventurous enough to take a deep plunge into razor-sharp exotics. But for those who do, the Aventador Roadster offers an unforgettable combination of style and substance, wrapped in origami-like skin sure to draw plenty of eyeballs and envy.

Hudson Yards Breaks Ground for South Tower
By Karsten Strauss December 4, 2012 1:14 pmreprints
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was on hand Tuesday as Related Companies broke ground on the first of what will be a string of buildings in the Hudson Yards development on Manhattan's midtown west.
Related founder – and Miami Dolphins owner – Stephen Ross, called the project the "most ambitious construction project in the history of New York." The company is planning a 47-story, 1.7 million square foot tower which is expected to cost $1 billion, according to reports.
Leather goods retailer, Coach, has committed to purchase about 750,000 square feet in the tower, with the option of taking another 100,000. "Hudson Yards will soon be home to some of the world's most renowned brands," Mr. Ross said to a crowd of onlookers assembled in a large tent at the construction site near the corner of 30th street and Eleventh Avenue.
In addition to becoming the new global headquarters of Coach, Ross said the complex would be the future home of Related Companies, "as well as my private residence."
"I'm excited to see the Hudson yards project launched," said CBRE CEO, Mary Ann Tighe, who represented Coach in the deal to become the anchor tenant of Related's South Tower. "I would feel even more excited if we were at closure with the coach deal." Related spokesperson, Joanna Rose, said the deal would close in the "coming weeks" and said she could not provide a more detailed time frame.
Though Coach is taking such a significant portion of the office space in the building, and is the anchor tenant, Ms. Tighe said she does not think the South Tower will be called The Coach Building, rather it will have a building address. She also said she fully expects other substantial tenants will buy space in the tower.
The 26-acre development is part of a trend of prosperity for the west side of midtown, which has increased its presence in the commercial real estate market over the past 20 years. "Every place you turn down here there's another crane, another boring machine doing its work," said Mr. Bloomberg
When completed, the Hudson Yards complex will feature a number of mixed use towers – residential and office – as well as retail centers, a park, a dual cultural center – event venue and a playground. It will feature 13 million square feet, including 6 million square feet of commercial space. The complex is bordered on its south side by the High Line elevated walkway. Construction of the High Line's third and final phase will begin in September, Mr. Bloomberg said.

Awesome shot, Love the bold colours.
I'll be over in Orlando Florida in a couple of weeks and I'm set on picking up a nice wide angle lens and a dedicated macro lens to boot, anyone have any recommendations to fit Canon ?
I was thinking about a Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens and possibly a Canon 50-mm macro ?
Anyway I also have a few shots to share ! =D
Had a go at photographing motorsport which as it turns out is pretty hard especially when your subject it traveling at over 100 mph!
These where taken at the 90th annual Ulster Grand Prix which is the fastest road race in the world with rider speeds averaging over 130 mph around a closed road circuit, the top speed recorded on the day was 173 mph.
A couple of the race winner Guy Martin in action.
Also a couple of random shots to finish with.

As for macro lenses I've heard good things about EF-S 60mm F2.8. You'll end up spending the money you saved by going with the Tokina, but it's much faster focusing. 50mm F2.5 can be quite painful in that aspect. 60mm has also full time manual override and maximum magnification ratio of 1:1 instead of 1:2 of the 50mm one. (You can get a 1:1 converter for the 50mm but it's bloody expensive. The combo ends up costing more than the 60mm macro.) As a downside it being a EF-S, no full frame compatibility, but then again 50mm-ish macro for a full frame is a bit dimwitted thing anyway.

Thanks for the info but isn't the Tokina 12-24mm quite an old lens ? I assumed more up to date lens would be better overall coupled with the likes of USM etc and less distortion trade offs.
A bit of a random question but can anyone in the colonies give me a few suggestions on places in Florida worth visiting ? for photographing and just sight seeing in general ? =]

In comparison to Canon, having tested both, I can tell there's very little difference in terms of optical quality. Tokina has slightly softer edges wide open and center resolution is a tiny bit worse across the aperture and focal length range. Then again, stopped down to F8 Tokina edges ahead in corner resolution.
I have a bit mixed feelings about the Canon lens. It's superior to Tokina by a minor margin which puts it quite close to professional quality. However the price in in the professional range as well. That's a bit problematic equation since as a professional photographer you'd most likely have a full frame body and in that case coughing up the extra cash to get the 16-35mm F2.8L is a no brainer.
USM though is indeed nice, it's a bit faster than Tokina's micro motor and much quieter. Canon does a slightly better job controlling CA as well.
In the end it comes down to how much you want to invest to something that tends to end up as a plaything.
Then there's of course Tokina's 11-16mm F2.8 which is a bit better than both of the others in terms of optical quality, but due to shorter focal length range is not quite as versatile. F2.8 maximum aperture is nice though...

The price will ultimately be the deciding factor, in the UK I'd be paying well above the average for either anyway but I'm going to have a look about and see if I can see either for a good price when I land state side.
Is there any notable difference in the "US" and standard versions of each as the US models seem a fraction cheaper for some reason ?

The lenses are the same, there might be some differences in packaging.

Thats reassuring because oddly even UK and HK ebay sellers list some lens as "US version" so I feared there might have been material differences or compatibility issues or something similar.
On a random note I must say I'm quite pleased with the lens I used for the shots above which I picked up in an old electronics store for a modest £35, its an old tamron 55-300mm and I've never really used it much outside before never mind for taking shots of such high speed subjects but figured the extra reach would be handy for what I intended to use it for all in all it held up well.
A small sum of money well spend I think.

On a DSLR camera how do you make really good self portrait photos? How do you take a picture were the person looks really clear, and the background is blurry.
I want to take pictures like this,like in some of the pictures the background is blurry, and I really like the effect on these photos. The oversaturated effect, it reminds me alot of my LC-A+ analog camera? I'm more of an old school analog user, and this DSLR thing is kinda new to me. So far I learned how to take night photos/star photos and do light graffiti.

It's possible to do it yourself, of course. Get a tripod (or prop your camera up on something) and either set a timer or use a wireless remote to trigger the camera. It's more difficult to do because you can't easily adjust the camera, nor can you "see what the camera sees" once you're on the other side of the lens.
As for the "blurry background," that is accomplished through a shallow depth of field. Briefly, there are three things that affect the depth of field. Listed in order of impact:
1) Distance between the camera and the subject (closer = more shallow)
2) Lens focal length (longer = more shallow)
3) Lens aperture (wider = more shallow; if you're unfamiliar with the numbering system, smaller numbers mean a wider aperture, e.g. f/1.4 is very wide, whereas f/4.0 is not as wide)
Lens aperture is the value that most photographers make the biggest deal out of, because it's the one thing that you always have control over, and that doesn't require any changes to your shooting style or positioning. However, lenses with wide maximum apertures cost more than those with smaller maximum apertures.
Tl;DR: use a timer and a lens with a wide aperture.
Sample shots? Sure.
500mm (yes, five hundred) f/8:
Highest Isolation by Velocity of Sound, on Flickr
12mm f/4.0:
This Cruel and Beautiful World by Velocity of Sound, on Flickr
Note that the shot at 500mm has a very shallow depth of field, even though the aperture is a good deal smaller than the shot at 12mm.

Looks like post process editting to me, you download preset photoshop actions to give you that kind of look at the push of a button (a PS action automatically applies a recorded set of adjustments in PS) in addition to all different kinds of colour palette/effects like retro and such.
Similarly the white balance / colour temperature of the photo can affect the overall tone as well, here is a good guide on that

You can ask privacy questions.

What is the GDPR?
Does the GDPR apply to non-EU members?
Passions Network & the GDPR – The Basics
Public vs Personal Data Passions Network does not sell any personal account information to any third party. Various account information is deemed public information and notifications that this type of information is available via search engines are present when members (optionally) enter this type of information. Other account information is deemed private information and is not provided to third parties.
Basic Account Notification Processes Passions Network notifies members via email of various account related information as part of it's service to connect members. Members have the option to modify their email account settings via links within email messages and within the email notification settings area of their accounts.
Account Deletion Option Passions Network provides the option for members to have their account deleted by notifying Passions Network of this desire. Once Passions Network is aware of a request for account deletion, the account (and associated information) is deleted from the Passions Network database typically within 24 hours. Note, the former account username is maintained (to prevent new members from signing up with a former username and then impersonating the prior member). Public content posted by a member within the forum area and the blog area is also maintained, although the username displayed includes a 'former member' status. The reason for maintaining the content and association with the former member username is to prevent complete disruption in forum and blog threads. Deleting the content and/or removing the associated username would cause confusion as to what was said, when and by whom. (Note: Passions Network recommends members create unique usernames not used on other online sites so that if an account is deleted, there is no connection between a former member and their posts with any 'real world' individual.)
How does Passions Network address the various issues raised by the GDPR – The Specifics
1) Consent Regarding Account Creation and Terms of Service – All members of Passions Network register their accounts via a double opt-in process to verify their interest in becoming members and their acceptance of the Terms of Service in becoming a member of Passions Network. All potential members of Passions Network, including but not limited to EU based potential members are required to review and consent to the GDPR Privacy Policy in order to become a member of Passions Network, Inc. As stated, and despite it not being required by the GDPR, Passions Network is requiring all new members regardless of location to 'opt-in' to the GDPR Privacy Policy. As a social network / dating network, the sites within Passions Network cannot function for a member who chooses to withhold basic personal information used to help connect them with other members in Passions Network. Existing EU members must 'opt in' on their first visit back to Passions Network after May 25th, 2018. Failure to opt-in after that date will result in the EU member account no longer receiving any account notifications from Passions Network, as they will not have authorized further contact. Note: If a member has not entered account information allowing identification as an EU member, they may continue to receive notifications until such time that they identify their location. While every effort is made to determine location to allow Passions Network to adhere to GDPR requirements, the use of mobile devices and VPN's allow members to hide their locations often times making it impossible to determine if a member is an EU member unless/until they update their account as such.
2) 'Real World Identity vs. Online Anonymity' – Passions Network Inc. (Passions Network) is a network of individual online dating / social networking sites with a premium on anonymity. As such, Passions Network does not ask for member's real names, addresses, phone numbers or credit card numbers. Passions Network highly recommends the use of unique usernames not used on other sites (to prevent identification via information posted on non-Passions Network related sites with the same username). Passions Network does not provide member email addresses to third parties, but highly recommends members create a new unique email address for use specifically within Passions Network in case of a data breach…in which case the Passions Network specific email address would not be beneficial to anyone, nor would it's identification be harmful to a member. This information is deleted from Passions Network upon account deletion.
3) PII (Personally Identifiable Information) – Passions Network does not sell your personal information to any third party, nor provide PII to any third party for use outside Passions Network and Passions Network services. This distinction is made due to the use of various third party software systems utilized to provide services like chat and instant updates on account activity. Any information provided to these third party systems is restricted to your internal Passions Network data (i.e. username, profile link, profile basics, sites within your account, etc.). This information allows members to interact with other members more efficiently while maintaining their 'real world' anonymity. Any information provided to these third party systems is deleted upon account deletion within Passions Network.
4) Cookies & Session ID's – As noted in the Cookie alert on the homepage, Passions Network uses Cookies (and Passions Network Inc. also uses Session ID's) to monitor activity within it's network and to benefit members who choose to use options like 'ease of login' & 'JUMP between sites'. These features are examples that are facilitated via Cookies and/or Session ID's (which are used by members logging in or moving between sites in Passions Network). Cookies are also used to minimize intrusive advertising by focusing ads to members based on the theme of various Passions Network sites. These cookies are placed by Passions Network and Advertising partners. More information on how Cookies are used by Advertising Partners can be found within our Terms of Service (TOS). Passions Network does not place Passions Network Cookies on member's browsers for use outside Passions Network's network of sites. If a member is concerned about the use of Cookies, they can turn off Cookies within their browsers (although this would affect some features within Passions Network like remembering login information automatically and possibly disable the site from use). There are many different types of Cookies used by virtually every website. Click here to learn more about Cookies. Since some Cookies are required in order for Passions Network Inc. sites to work, Cookies have been enabled within Passions Network Inc. sites. Members (and visitors) have COMPLETE control over the Cookies they allow to be used within their browsers though, and Passions Network Inc. wants to make it easy for members and/or visitors to make informed decisions regarding Cookies (and to easily be able to disable them if they so choose). If you are not comfortable with Cookies being placed on your browser when visiting this (or any other) site, we are providing you with information on how to disable Cookies for each type of possible browser or App operating system. Click here to disable Cookies (Not Recommended). [Please note that information stored in Cookies makes your experience within Passions Network Inc. sites better and that by disabling Passions Network Cookies and/or Third Party Cookies, you are likely to find your website experience degraded.]
5) IP Addresses – Passions Network does collect member IP Addresses and maintain them until the member's account is deleted. IP Addresses are utilized to determine if members are being honest about their location, so that potential spammers/scammers cannot pretend to be in a specific location within their account while actually being in an entirely different location. Members who are concerned about what IP Address is being collected by Passions Network can visit What is My IP. This information is deleted from Passions Network upon account deletion.
6) Email – Passions Network sends members email messages to A) verify/validate their interest in joining a site within Passions Network B) to confirm their registration C) to alert them to contact attempts by other members within Passions Network D) to alert them to non-contact specific, but account related information specific to their Passions Network Account E) to alert them to changes within Passions Network. As part of the initial registration within Passions Network, members are asked to enter their email address, whereby they are sent a verification link to validate that they are in fact interested in registering as a member of Passions Network. This double opt-in process is a security measure to verify that the individual registering is in fact the owner of the email address in question and is opting in to Passions Network membership. Unless this double opt-in process is completed, verifying the desire of the email owner to participate as a member of Passions Network, they will not be registered, and their email address will not be stored, and they will not receive future email messages from Passions Network. Independent of registration there are a number of email notification options which can be managed by clicking links within future email messages and by making changes within a member's account. Email addresses are deleted from Passions Network upon account deletion.
7) Required Information vs. Optional Information – Passions Network requires members to provide their gender, sexual orientation, age & location. This information is critical to the use of the network by members, specifically within the search system.

Flu, also known as the influenza, is a contagious disease that is caused by the flu virus. It attacks the respiratory tract in humans (nose, throat, and lungs). The flu is different from a cold. Flu usually comes on suddenly and may include these symptoms:
These symptoms are usually referred to as "flu-like symptoms."
Anyone Can Get the Flu, But the Disease Is More Severe for Some People
Most people who get flu will recover in one to two weeks, but some people will develop life-threatening complications (such as pneumonia) as a result of the flu. Millions of people in the United States — about 10% to 20% of U.S. residents — will get the flu each year. An average of about 36,000 people per year in the United States die from the flu, and 114,000 per year have to be admitted to the hospital as a result of the flu.
Anyone can get the flu (even healthy people), and serious problems from the flu can happen at any age. People age 65 years and older, people of any age with chronic medical conditions, and very young children are more likely to get complications from the flu.
Pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinus and ear infections are three examples of complications from the flu. The flu can make chronic health problems worse. For example, people with asthma may experience asthma attacks while they have the flu, and people with chronic congestive heart failure may have worsening of this condition that is triggered by the flu.
For a list of groups that are at high risk for complications from flu, see: Who Should Get the Flu Vaccine.
How the flu Virus Is Passed Around
The flu is spread, or transmitted, when a person who has the flu coughs, sneezes, or speaks and sends flu virus into the air, and other people inhale the virus.
The virus enters the nose, throat, or lungs of a person and begins to multiply, causing symptoms. Flu may, less often, be spread when a person touches a surface that has flu viruses on it – a door handle, for instance – and then touches his or her nose or mouth.
The Flu Is Contagious
A person can spread the flu starting one day before he or she feels sick. Adults can continue to pass the flu virus to others for another three to seven days after symptoms start. Children can pass the virus for longer than seven days. Symptoms start one to four days after the virus enters the body. Some persons can be infected with the flu virus but have no symptoms. During this time, those persons can still spread the virus to others.
How To Know if You Have the Flu
Your respiratory illness might be the flu if you have sudden onset of body aches, fever, and respiratory symptoms, and your illness occurs during November through April (the usual flu season in the Northern Hemisphere). However, during this time, other respiratory illnesses can cause similar symptoms and the flu can be caught at any time of the year. It is impossible to tell for sure if you have the flu based on symptoms alone. Doctors can perform tests to see if you have the flu if you are in the first few days of your illness.
What You Should Do If You Get the Flu
There are drugs your doctor may prescribe for treating the flu called "antivirals." These drugs can make you better faster and may also prevent serious complications. See Treatment – Antiviral Drugs(https://www.cdc.gov/flu/antivirals/index.htm) for more information. Flu is caused by a virus, so antibiotics (like penicillin) don't work to cure it. The best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine (flu shot) each fall, before flu season.
Do Not Give Aspirin To a Child or Teenager Who Has the Flu
Never give aspirin to children or teenagers who have flu-like symptoms – and particularly fever – without first speaking to your doctor. Giving aspirin to children and teenagers who have the flu can cause a rare but serious illness called Reye syndrome. Children or teenagers with the flu should get plenty of rest, drink lots of liquids, and take medicines that contain no aspirin to relieve symptoms.
The Myth of the "Stomach Flu"
Many people use the term "stomach flu" to describe illnesses with nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. These symptoms can be caused by many different viruses, bacteria, or even parasites. While vomiting, diarrhea, and being nauseous or "sick to your stomach" can sometimes be related to the flu – particularly in children – these problems are rarely the main symptoms of flu. The flu is a respiratory disease and not a stomach or intestinal disease.
"What are the different types of flu? Stomach Flu"
There are three types of influenza viruses: A, B and C. Human influenza A and B viruses cause seasonal epidemics of disease almost every winter in the United States. The emergence of a new and very different influenza virus to infect people can cause an influenza pandemic. Influenza type C infections cause a mild respiratory illness and are not thought to cause epidemics.
Avian Influenza Type A

BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan - America's top military officer said Wednesday that the impasse over a security agreement between the U.S. and Afghanistan is encouraging the enemy to take bold actions and could lead some Afghan forces to cooperate with the Taliban to "hedge their bets."
Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, met with his commanders in Afghanistan to assess conditions and reassure them that they should focus on the considerable work they have to do this year and not worry about next year.
Dempsey told The Associated Press in an interview that President Barack Obama's order Tuesday to begin actively planning for a total withdrawal was making Afghan military leaders anxious and eating away at their troops' confidence.
Frustrated with Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai, Obama ordered the Pentagon to accelerate planning for a full U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan by the end of this year. But Obama is also holding out hope that Afghanistan's next president, to be elected this spring, may eventually sign a stalled security agreement that could prevent the U.S. from having to take that step.
The administration would like to leave up to 10,000 troops in Afghanistan after combat operations end on Dec. 31 to continue training Afghan forces and conduct counterterrorism missions. But without the agreement that would give international forces legal standing to stay in Afghanistan, Obama has threatened to pull all troops out, leaving the work to Afghan forces.
Obama spoke Tuesday with Karzai, the first direct conversation between the two presidents since last June. Karzai has refused to sign the pact.
The impasse is having an effect, Dempsey said.
"It is having an effect on the enemy and in some ways I think encourages them, and intelligence supports that," Dempsey told reporters. And, he said, the uncertainty of a continued U.S. presence in Afghanistan may encourage Afghan security forces in some parts of the country to "hedge their bets."
"There are parts of the country where it seems to be, there will - with some likelihood ...be some accommodations between the Afghan security forces and the Taliban," said Dempsey. "I think a delay in the (security agreement) might accelerate those kind of accommodations. I don't think it will be widespread by the way, but we do have to be alert to that possibility."
He also said expects that the Taliban will become more aggressive during the coming summer fighting season.
For Dempsey, Obama's announcement triggered a day of meetings with his commanders and with hundreds of troops in this eastern Afghanistan base in the shadow of the volatile Pakistan border region to explain what it all means. And he emphasized to them that is does not mean that a zero U.S. force is now a foregone conclusion.
He added that while the U.S. can wait until after the spring elections before deciding whether to completely withdraw all forces, that decision will have to be made sometime in the summer.
"We have a pretty clear understanding of, at what pace they must progress in order to -- if it became necessary -- to empty the (war) theater by the end of the year," Dempsey told the AP. He said they are nowhere near the point where the military couldn't make that decision and successfully get all troops and equipment out by Dec. 31.
Obama's announcement after his conversation with Karzai on Tuesday appeared aimed at marginalizing Karzai's role in the high-stakes negotiations over the future of the lengthy American-led war. The Afghan leader has deeply irritated Washington with anti-American rhetoric, as well as with his decision this month to release 65 prisoners over the objections of U.S. officials.
The White House insists it won't keep any American troops in Afghanistan after December without a security agreement giving the military a legal basis for staying in the country. While the White House did not publicly set a deadline for finalizing the agreement before that time, officials said the size and scope of any U.S. mission could shrink the longer Obama waits.
While Dempsey visited commanders, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel met his NATO counterparts in Brussels this week. And NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that the 19,000 troops from other countries would also pull out of Afghanistan after year's end without a security agreement.
"Let me stress, this is not our preferred option," Rasmussen said. "But these are the facts."
The U.S. and Afghanistan agreed to details of a security pact last year, and the agreement was also endorsed by a council of 3,000 Afghan tribal elders known as the Loya Jirga. But Karzai caught U.S. officials off guard by then declaring he wanted his successor to sign the agreement.
It's unclear whether Afghanistan's new president will be any more likely than Karzai to do so. There is no clear front-runner among the 11 candidates running to replace the president, who is constitutionally ineligible for a third term and has not endorsed a successor.
The longer the U.S. waits to decide on its future in Afghanistan, the more expensive and risky a full withdrawal would become. With less time to move troops and equipment, the military will have to fly assets out rather than use cheaper ground transportation.
The Pentagon's biggest challenge will be closing large military facilities, including the Bagram and Kandahar air bases. Shutting down a massive base typically takes about 10 months, but military officials said they are prepared to do it in a much shorter - although far more expensive - period if necessary. Military officials said commanders would still like to have about six months.
The Pentagon is currently planning to cut the total American force in Afghanistan to as low as 20,000 by midsummer, giving commanders the ability to pull all troops out by Dec. 31 if no agreement is reached. There are currently about 33,600 U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Associated Press writers Julie Pace, and Deb Riechmann in Washington, Robert Burns in Brussels, and Cassandra Vinograd in Kabul, Afghanistan, contributed to this report.

Fielder powers Tigers past Blue Jays
Detroit, MI – Prince Fielder had two hits and four RBI in the Detroit Tigers' 11-1 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays in the rubber match of a three-game set.
Torii Hunter added two hits, three RBI and a pair of runs scored for the Tigers, who have won four of their last six contests.
Doug Fister (2-0) struck out five and surrendered a run on eight hits and a walk over eight innings in the win.
Josh Johnson (0-1) was shelled for six runs on seven hits and two walks in just 1 1/3 innings for Toronto, which has dropped three of its last four tilts.
The game was tied at 1-1 before the Tigers erupted for five runs in the second and added four more in the fifth.
Jhonny Peralta, Alex Avila began the frame with back-to-back singles to put runners on the corners before Omar Infante brought Peralta home with a sacrifice fly to left. Avila crossed the plate on Austin Jackson's base hit to right-center. Jackson, who advanced to second on the throw home, was pushed across when Hunter snuck a grounder through the hole on the right side. After Miguel Cabrera belted a triple into the gap to plate Hunter, he scored on Fielder's single to left-center.
Hunter snuck a two-run single through the hole on the right side and Fielder laced a two-run double in the fifth to make it 10-1.
Fielder's sacrifice fly to left in the seventh upped the margin to 11-1.
Earlier, Victor Martinez's run-scoring single in the first got Detroit on the board before Mark DeRosa's sacrifice fly to right in the visitor's second knotted the contest.
Game Notes
The red-hot Fielder is 9-for-19 with 13 RBI over his last six games ... Jackson registered three hits and three runs ... The Tigers were 7-for-16 with runners in scoring position.

As the year 1909 came to an end, Dublin and Laurens County were on the apex of a tsunami. The county and her capital were among the ten largest in the state in population. Times were good, although within another decade, the unfettered growth would come to a screeching halt.
Though cotton acreage was being reduced because of the lack of money, low prices for cotton and high cost of mules, good things were happening. Some of them were important and some were merely trivial. Here are a few of the highlights for the final year of the first decade of the 20th Century.
W.B. Rice purchased a 30-horse power Cadillac car, the most powerful in Dublin, from Miller Brothers.
H.H. Smith hired the Rev. George C. Thompson to design a five-story building on the northwest corner of N. Jackson and N. Jefferson Streets. Smith offered to pay thirty-thousand dollars of the cost and try to raise another thirty-five thousand to erect the building which was supposed to house the Laurens Banking Company on its first floor. The project never got off the ground.
Hardy Ellington, who lived on the plantation of E.W. Fordham, owned a hen which laid half pound eggs.
Members of the Catholic Church purchased a lot from the Dublin Real Estate Company on the corner of Elm and Stonewall Streets for the erection of a new church. The plan was abandoned when Victoire Stubbs, widow of the late Col. John M. Stubbs, donated a portion of her land on North Church Street for the erection of the new church, which ceased to be used as a Catholic Church on this past Christmas Day.
In 1909, pedestrians in Dublin were finally able to walk on concrete sidewalks, ones which were manufactured by the Georgia Hydraulic Stone Company. The company used quality sand from ancient sand dunes just off the current Nathaniel Drive in East Dublin to manufacture its hexangol pavers.
Frank McCall was struck by lightning and killed in the cemetery near the home of Anderson Whitehead some three and one half miles west of Dublin. He was attending the funeral of Eliza Taylor. Dr. B.D. Perry was present and pronounced McCall dead of a broken neck. McCall was returned to town in the same funeral wagon which brought out the body of Mrs. Taylor.
Some irritated citizens objected to straw (hay) rides. It seemed that they believed the participants thought that they must sing and laugh so loud that they could be heard from one end of the block to the other.
Preparations were made for a race from Dublin to Atlanta. Entry fees were set at $10.00. The prize for first place was 30 percent of the pool. The second place finisher garnered 20 percent, while the 3rd place finisher took 10 percent. The next eight took the remaining 40 percent.
Dixie Cotton Co. moved from Sandersville to Dublin. The company had 25 offices in Georgia. H.M. Carrere, secretary and treasurer, announced that the company would absorb the Bashinski brother's business, which was located in the Georgia Warehouse and Cotton Compress building. J.R. Powel of that company remained with the new venture. E.A. Lovett of Wrightsville was a director, along with J.R. Powel, W.G.S. Rowe, and Izzie Bashinski of Dublin. More than fifty-four thousand bales of cotton were processed at the Georgia Warehouse and Cotton Compress Company during the year ending 8/31/1909.
A debate society was organized at the library. Its first officers were President Peter S. Twitty, Vice President Jule B Green, and Secretary C.B Heidt.
An application for a charter of the Bank of Rentz was made by H.D. Barron, B.P. Wynn, W.E. Bedingfield, R.C. Coleman, B.A. Moye, M.R. Mackey, I.S. Knight, and T.J. Taylor. The bank's initial capital stock was $25,000.00. Mr. F.M. Kirkpatrick of Adel was hired as the cashier. Messers H.D. Barron, B.P. Wynn, W.E. Bedingfield, R.C. Coleman, B.A. Moye, M.R. Mackey, I.S. Knight and T.J. Taylor were among those asking for the charter, although many other citizens of Rentz and its vicinity are among the list of stockholders. The success of the bank was certain. The bank's backers believed the men behind it were the most enterprising in the county, and Rentz would soon have one of the best banking institutions in the state. The bank eventually merged with Citizens and Southern Bank, a six decades later.
L.B. Holt and G.C. Wood of Sandersville, and H.C. Coleman, Jr., W.H. Mullis, Sr., J.A. Burch, H.C. Burch, H.R. Bedingfield, A. McCook, H.C. Stonecypher, and W.B. Coleman, all of Cadwell, petitioned for charter for Cadwell Banking Company, which began business with an initial capital of $25,000.00.
The name of the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy was changed to the Oconee Chapter. The new club's officers were President Mrs. J.A. Thomas, First Vice-President Mrs. L.R. Reinhart, Second Vice President Mrs. T.J. Pritchett, Secretary, Mamie New, Corresponding Secretary Lily Hightower, Treasurer Mrs. Miller, Historian Mrs. V.L. Stanley, and Assistant Historian Mrs. L.W. Miller.
Harris M. "Hal" Stanley, a Dublin newspaper man, was elected as Grand Outer Guard of the Georgia Knights of Pythias.
A petition for the incorporation of Ebenezer High School in Dudley was made by M.M. Hobbs, T. Bright, and Otto Daniel. The trustees of Ebenezer School were Chairman W.T. Haskins, Treasurer J.A. Hogan, along with F. Bobbitt; R.S. Shiver, and W.W. Grant.
To the surprise of all who heard and those few who saw, Hayden Lowery walked into a local newspaper office and presented the stunned onlookers a mess of watermelons fresh from his patch on Christmas Day.
So, as I complete my thirteenth year of bringing you Pieces of Our Past, I wish all of you a healthy, prosperous and happy new year. I thank all of you for your encouragement for me to keep on writing. Moreover, to the thousands of you whose prayers helped me to survive my critical cardiac moment, I thank you for the bottom of my newly repaired heart.

Examining Preferences for Search Engines and their Effects on Information Behavior
Irene Lopatovska, Megan R. Fenton, and Sara Campot
Monday, 1:30pm
The article reports the results of a study that explored users' preference for search engines in relation to other information sources. The study used qualitative and quantitative methods to examine participants' information seeking with and without access to search engines. The study identified search engine features that users find valuable, such as perception of convenience, independence and privacy, as well as specific functionality (keyword searching, autocomplete feature). The study found that inability to use search engines caused increase in negative emotions, especially among seekers with limited information horizons; led to the decrease in use of other electronic channels and increased inquiries to other individuals and the use of print sources. Our findings suggest that seekers operate within digital and traditional information fields and do not easily switch between the fields without disruption to their habitual pattern. The discussion about positive and negative effects of search engine preference is included.

Shares of the company rose more than 5 percent in trading after the bell.
Adobe said subscribers for Creative Cloud, the subscription-based version of its flagship software package, crossed the 1-million mark at the end of the third quarter.
The company closed more contracts with corporate customers in the third quarter than in the first half of the year, Chief Financial Officer Mark Garrett said during a call with analysts.
Adobe forecast fourth quarter below analysts' expectations after missing estimates in the preceding quarter as the shift to the subscription-based model leads to more deferred revenue.
The revenue miss in the third quarter indicates that the shift to subscription pricing model is ahead of schedule and the company is deferring more revenues, Edward Jones' technology analyst Josh Olson told Reuters.
Olson said he had not expected Adobe to hit the one million subscriber mark until "somewhere in the fourth quarter".
A subscription-based model brings in less money upfront as payment is spread over the entire period of use unlike traditional packaged software but typically ensure more predictable recurring revenue.
Adobe has been shifting to the web-based subscription service, Creative Cloud, from a licensing model since last year.
The company forecast fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of 28 -34 cents per share on revenue of $1 billion to $1.05 billion.
Analysts on average were expecting earnings of 41 cents per share on revenue of $1.08 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Adobe's net income fell to $83 million, or 16 cents per share, in the third quarter, from $201.4 million, or 40 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding items, the company earned 32 cents per share.
Revenue fell to $995.1 million from $1.08 billion a year earlier.
Analysts on average had expected earnings of 34 cents per share on revenue of $1.01 billion.
Adobe said on Tuesday it would make a cloud-connected pen and a digital ruler for tablet devices.
Shares of the company were trading at $50.85 after the bell. They had closed at $48.14 on the Nasdaq.

Skip to comments.Louisana Subpoenas ACORN
Posted on 09/17/2009 8:36:44 AM PDT by RummyChick
Big Government has obtained copies of subpoenas issued last month to ACORN by the state of Louisiana. We are working to determine the status of this and other investigations. ACORN operates in 46 states. 45 more of these would move us much further towards full transparency and accountablity.
Louisiana is racist.
Every Republican governor should be doing this in their home state. If the state's legislature is Repub controlled they should be going after them as well if the Govs won't do it.
Good! Hopefully our AG in WI will go after these crum-bums, too!
I'll go e-mail him... :)
All Acorn roles lead back to Obama.
Watch a keen interest taken by Zer0's Justice Department, to protect their asset BO.
Every state's AG should issue warrants for every ACORN office. Roll in with cops, seize all records, and seal the buildings.
Isn't that where the HQ is? Hmmmm....
One news caster called them on the radio yesterday under aged 'women'..since when is a 13 year old a WOMAN? And why can't these ACORN people be charged with some form of pedaphelia, or at least child endagerment? Maybe accessory, aiding and abetting or some such charge?
Here in CA, Schwarzenegger has called for an investigation, but, but, but...our AG is Jerry Brown (y'all remember him?)
LA and Texas are 2 of the last free states.
Rush just announced that Maxine Waters wants teabaggers investigated..but uh..what about Acorn???
last month!!?? Interesting.
Bummer will get his friends out of this jam.
When I heard this, immediately I recall the disgraceful corruption that has been Louisiana government, I snort and say, "Oooh, wow. They'll really dig, get to the bottom of this one." The hub reminds me that Jindal is the governor now. "Oh yeah, I forgot that." Makes a helluva difference, doesn't it?"
The Attorney General is a Democrat...
Oh ... well ... hmmm ... I think I'm back to my initial skepticism. I will have to inform Hub of that, thank you.
That better be sarcasm. Louisiana is over 40% black. The races get along a lot better in Louisiana than in white supermajority states.

Astros break out the bats to pound Mariners
Seattle, WA – Through seven games this season, the Houston Astros had managed just 17 runs. They erupted for 16 in one game on Tuesday night.
Chris Carter hit two home runs and Jose Altuve went 4-for-6 with a homer and four RBI to help guide the Astros to a 16-9 win over the Seattle Mariners Tuesday night at Safeco Field.
J.D. Martinez and Marwin Gonzalez also hit home runs for Houston, which snapped a six-game losing skid. Gonzalez went 3-for-3 with three runs scored.
Erik Bedard struck out three in four shutout innings for the Astros while allowing just one hit. Paul Clemens (1-0) picked up his first career win in his MLB debut despite allowing five earned runs and three long balls in four innings of work.
The Astros knocked Seattle starter Brandon Maurer out of the game after just two-thirds of an inning pitched. Maurer surrendered six earned runs and seven hits before giving way to the bullpen.
"These are days you just forget," said Seattle manager Eric Wedge. "You take whatever good you can out of it, some good things happened for us offensively at the end of the game, but from a pitching perspective, we just had a very off day, everybody was scuffling today. It was just a bad day."
Jason Bay and Raul Ibanez each belted pinch-hit home runs for the Mariners, who have lost five of seven.
Houston wasted no time taking command of the game, putting up a six-spot in the first inning. Carlos Pena started things off with a two-run double with the bases loaded. Martinez and Matt Dominguez each drove in a run and Altuve added a two-run double before Maurer was lifted for Kameron Loe, who got Justin Maxwell to pop up to end the frame.
The Astros added three more runs in the second on a solo home run by Carter and two-run shot from Martinez.
Gonzalez, who broke up Yu Darvish's perfect game bid earlier in the season, hit his first homer of the season to lead off the third inning. Carter plated Maxwell later in the frame.
Altuve's two-run bomb in the top of the fourth put Houston up 13-0.
"We showed today what the team really has, the guys woke up today, I just think of it that way," said Altuve. "Tomorrow, we're going to do the same thing, work hard, and when you work hard, good things are going to happen."
Seattle finally threatened with the bases loaded in the bottom of the stanza but Bedard got Jesus Montero to pop up in foul territory to get out of trouble.
The Mariners managed to get on the board in the fifth inning on a pair of sacrifice flies by Brendan Ryan and Michael Saunders, but Maxwell brought home another run in the sixth on a double play.
Bay hit a solo homer in the Seattle seventh, while Gonzalez answered with an RBI single in the home portion.
With the game just about out of reach, Ibanez and Michael Morse hit back-to- back home runs off Clemens in the eighth to bring Seattle to within 15-5.
Houston mustered one final run in the ninth on Carter's second bomb of the game. Ibanez then added his second RBI with a single to left, Bay scored his second run on an Altuve throwing error and Justin Smoak's two-RBI single rounded out the scoring.
Game Notes
Ibanez is the all-time leader in home runs at Safeco Field with 67 ... The Astros hit five home runs Tuesday after entering the contest having hit just two ... Houston first baseman Brett Wallace went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts, bringing him to 1-for-21 with 17 strikeouts on the year ... The 10,745 fans were the smallest crowd to ever see an MLB game at Safeco Field.

DARPA seeks crawling, burrowing river-recce sub bot
Contract inked for rinky-dink ink squirt squidroid
US weapons'n'rockets company Alliant Techsystems (ATK) has won a small military contract related to a planned underwater robot. The Unmanned Underwater Riverine Craft (UURC) will carry out "clandestine surveillance tasks in riverine and shallow water environments" using "bottom locomotion (crawling)" mode and "burrowing" abilities.
The ATK contract award for $494,254 was announced yesterday, but details on the UURC project can be found in here.
It would seem that America's enemies had best keep a close eye on their rivers and estuaries, which will soon be literally crawling with partly-submerged lurkerbots:
There is an operational need to carry out clandestine surveillance tasks in riverine and shallow water environments [within] denied, sensitive or contested areas.
For these, a UURC is needed with capabilities to: navigate submerged in rivers, inlets, and harbors as well as in coastal and shallow water areas; provide persistence in these areas and, provide underwater surveillance (against waterborne traffic, underwater obstacles, bottom and buried objects, specific vessels of interest) with onboard and deployable sensors under low visibility conditions.
It won't be simple to catch the mud-crawling bottom-creeper machines: they will twist and turn, burrow into the muck or perhaps even eject an inky cloud like a startled squid. The UURC will:
Be capable of autonomous operation and evasion procedures underwater (maneuver, burrowing, use of obscurants, hibernation mode) ...
The slithering aquadroids will be able to pop up infrared nightsight periscopes, and will of course include sonar and acoustic sensors. They will also, seemingly, feature "new methods of sensing including ... touch" and be able to drop off or otherwise deploy "listening devices, tagging devices and other packages".
Normally such a droid, unable to use conventional engines, would be sharply limited by battery endurance. But the UURC will also have "the ability to regenerate or harvest power for sustained endurance operation or to be able to enter a 'sleep' mode for sustained periods".
One need hardly add that the UURC is being promoted by the famous wingnut-boffins of DARPA, where tomorrow's world is yesterday's news and the only place to keep your brain is in a bubbling jar remotely linked to a huge, powerful robot or brainchipped-gorilla body.
The UURC is to be deployable by "subsurface launch", which could see it setting out to reconnoitre enemy rivers from DARPA's planned flying submarine: or alternatively from relatively humdrum nuclear-powered Stingray-esque submarine motherships crammed with cruise missiles and elite frogman-commando throatcutters.
Or more likely, of course, as with most DARPA projects it will never come into use. But the Pentagon brainiacs have so many wacky projects that now and then one is sure to pay off. ®

In amniocentesis, fluid is extracted from the amniotic sac of a pregnant woman using a hollow catheter. The technique was first used by German doctors in the 1880s to relieve pressure on the foetus in a case of excess fluid. Since the 1950s this technique is used in prenatal diagnosis (diagnosis before birth). Cells and chemicals in the amniotic fluid can reveal a lot about the health of the foetus. At first, the fluid was tested to see whether maternal and foetal blood were compatible. Today, the foetal cells are used to perform genetic tests to detect conditions such as Down's Syndrome before the baby is born. This option of prenatal diagnosis may pose ethical challenges for the medical practitioner and the parents. The procedure carries a small risk of infection and miscarriage. Also, if any existing genetic abnormalities or other medical conditions are detected parents may be confronted with the question of how to respond. Already in 1960 researchers reported the first case of an abortion that was motivated by the test result that the foetus had a 50% chance of having haemophilia.

Does anyone know of an original Greek-language volume of this work available either online or as a book, new or used, modern or old? I've struck out using Google, Perseus, Loeb and Abebooks.
Also, I see that the Aethiopica was composed about a century after the date usually ascribed to the close of Koine Greek. Can anyone speculate how much trouble a student of Attic Greek would have with it? (Koine has been a relative breeze so far.)
The story sounds amazing and I want to have a look. Any replies or help greatly appreciated! Thanks,

The Throbbing Bicycle is a daring sexual act, which is extremely difficult to accomplish, but will make you feel magnificent if you pull it off! in which a female is on hands and knees, her behind lifted up behind her, exposing her open anus. The male, about 50 feet away with his pants off and on a bicycle, will peddle until he is at full speed and about a foot away from the female. He well then jam the front brake, causing his bike to buck him forward at an exceding speed through the air, sending his erect penis into the woman's anus at a speed close to 20 mph.
Sally thought I was just being kinky- till I ripped her ass apart with a throbbing bicycle. Now she doesn't call me anymore.

I have a larger number of grass (C4 tallgrass) samples that I intend to run through reduced-representation sequencing, on the order of 1000, with many more in the future. To handle this large number, I decided to go with Qiagen's 96 DNeasy plant kit. I found out too late however, that the best centrifuge available can induce up to 2250 *g, whereas the protocol recommends much greater force, 5800 *g. I decided to give it a trial run anyway, and doubled the spin times to try to compensate. The filter appeared to be dry after each of the spins. Unfortunately, however, the yield was far lower than hoped (~1.2ng/ml).
This could obviously be due to the centrifuge issue, or it could be that the bead beating was ineffective during lysis on Qiagen's TissueLyserII. While there was some clear evidence of cellular debris following the neutralization step, there wasn't as much as I am used to from doing bacterial mini-preps, and the leaves of grass still looked fairly intact.
Any thoughts on whether one, the other, both, or neither of these possible issues are the culprit?
Thanks in advance!

Home Safety: Cutting Edge
Publication Date:
Tue, 11/08/2011
By: Alere Staff
As a patient taking warfarin, you are more prone to prolonged bleeding resulting from cuts or scrapes. Obvious hazards in the kitchen include forks and knives in dishwashers as well as knives used around cutting boards. Common home hidden cutting hazards are metal cutting edges on plastic wrap and aluminum foil roll packaging.
Every kitchen in America has their designated drawer where plastic sandwich bags, plastic wrap, aluminum and wax paper foil are kept. These convenient dispensing packages use a raised serrated metal edge, usually 12" long. Products that use these type "cutting edge" features include:
- Aluminum Foil
- Wax Paper
- Plastic Wrap
You can run a constant risk of severe cuts from the raised metal edges simply by reaching into the drawer to grab a box. These cuts are most likely to occur right along the wrist as you reach into drawers. Many patients turn the box so the cutting edge faces downward reducing the risk of accidental cuts. In most cases this reduces the risk but other members of the household many not always return the box in the "safe" position.
The following situations increase the chance of boxes being returned in the danger position:
Children or Grandchildren visits
Neighbor luncheons
In-law visits
Caterers used for a holiday party
Changing brands of products
One method you can use to reduce the risk of dangerous cuts is to label each of the boxes that has an exposed cutting edge. This label could include green color-coded construction paper with, "This Side Up" written on it. This would insure each box was returned in the proper position keeping the cutting blade facing down.
Reduce your risk of a serious cutting edge injury by organizing your frequently used drawers–especially those with known cutting hazards.

4th race--
#2 CLOSET E (6-1) Second O'Neill-trained entrant in the race (also sends out 2-1 favorite Bury Pacer) but expecting a solid run from this son of Street Sense. He puts blinkers back on, figures to make the lead as he stretches out in distance again and retains top turf rider Nakatani.
Yesterday's Result: SHARED MAGIC finished third in 3rd race.
Live Longshot: MORE COMPLEXITY (7th race)
ShowVivor: INDIANAPOLIS (2nd race)
Longest Streak/Current: 8/0
