Why Caddell?
What makes Caddell a preferred place to launch and grow your construction industry career?
Caddell offers more than a paycheck. Caddell believes that a rewarding career goes beyond a salary figure. Certainly, fair compensation is an important consideration, but studies have shown over and over again that money alone does not provide satisfaction. For employees to truly realize a rewarding career, they must be fulfilled in the work they are doing. Caddell offers challenging and enjoyable work, advancement opportunity, competitive salary/benefits, manageable work-life balance, appreciation and recognition.
Caddell has a worldwide impact and perspective. To date, Caddell men and women have built major commercial and industrial projects in 26 countries on five continents. And that list grows every year. We are among the few U.S. general contractors who can get the job done in almost any location, no matter how remote.
Caddell provides long-term career growth opportunities. Almost half of our workforce has been employed at Caddell for 10+ years—significantly above the national construction industry average and just one indication of our high level of employee satisfaction and morale.
Caddell invests in its people. A heavy emphasis on training and continuing education includes offering our team the best management training courses in the industry and access to a wide range of career enhancement courses—including classes on-line and frequent home-office sponsored conferences. In the last five years, our training/education budget has tripled. We know that employees must remain at the cutting-edge in their fields and that training is the key.
Caddell provides the individual room and opportunity to grow, without getting lost in the crowd. We compete very successfully on the global stage with the largest contractors in the world. However, we are not so big that individual accomplishments and ambitions go unnoticed or unrewarded. Everyone matters at Caddell. Caddell's project manager for the $333M embassy in Beijing started his construction career as a field carpenter, was promoted to Caddell area superintendent, and rose quickly through the ranks. His talent, work ethic, and intelligence allowed him to advance rapidly in our organization, even without a formal degree. Construction is still that kind of industry.
Caddell offers employees a culturally diverse environment. Caddell employees speak English, Turkish, Nepalese, Spanish, Italian, French, Tagalog (Philippines), Chinese, German, Urdu, and Arabic. We aren't afraid of diversity and we respect individual choices.
Many at Caddell have earned formal degrees. The variety of schools and degree programs is surprising and is another reflection of Caddell's diversity. Caddell people have studied at:
Purdue University ♦ MIT ♦ University of Florence ♦ U.S. Air Force Academy ♦ Calcutta University ♦ Istanbul Technical University ♦ Clemson ♦ Georgia Tech ♦ University of Wisconsin ♦ University of Michigan ♦ Utah State ♦ Converse College ♦ University of Punjab ♦ Tuskegee University ♦ University of Texas ♦ Texas A&M ♦ University of Baja, California ♦ Mississippi State ♦ University of Vermont ♦ New Mexico State ♦ Old Dominion ♦ LSU ♦ University of Southern Illinois ♦ State University of New York ♦ University of Alaska ♦ Auburn University ♦ University of Alabama ♦ and even the Juilliard School.

In Memory of
John Arthur Kvarnstrom
November 30, 1935 - March 26, 2013
John Arthur (Jack) Kvarnstrom, November 30, 1935 - March 26, 2013
Jack was a man who exemplified integrity, hard work, honor and commitment. He fiercely loved his Heavenly Father, family, the Bible, baseball, and woodworking. He touched many lives not always by what he said, but what he did even when he was not aware anyone was watching. He retired after 37 years at the Boeing Company spending the rest of his years being there for his family and completing fine woodworking projects as he was able. He is survived by his wife Dana of 54 years, four children, four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He will be missed but left a legacy of example of his core values which will never go away. One of Jack's favorite Winston Churchill quotes: To perceive a path and to point it out is one thing, but to blaze the trail and labor to construct the path is a harder task. We are all diminished when a man of honor passes on. Memorial service will be held 1:00pm Friday, April 5, 2013 at the Foothills Baptist Church (10120 Issaquah-Hobart Rd. SE, Issaquah, WA 98027)

"This story could have been me talking with my daughters. It took several years for them to understand that it is who they are and they are beautiful because God created her. What a simple and profound truth."
My niece received this book at a natural hair event we attended. She is 2 yrs old and when she first saw it she yelled "It's Me" while smiling. That was worth everything to see that type of reaction and how happy she was with each page turn. Its great to know she has something she can see herself in, rather then growing up trying to fit in someone else's image of who she should be. —T. Moore

The City of New Orleans' Fresh Food Retailer Initiative (FFRI) program increases access to fresh foods in traditionally underserved neighborhoods in the City in addition to providing quality employment opportunities and serving as a catalyst for neighborhood revitalization. The program provides direct financial assistance to retail businesses by awarding forgivable and/or low-interest loans to supermarkets, grocery stores, and other fresh food retailers. The City has provided $7,000,000 in Disaster Community Development Block Grant funds toward the program, which will be matched 1:1 by the City's partner, Hope Enterprise Corporation (HOPE).
The City has partnered with HOPE and The Food Trust to implement this program.
HOPE is dedicated to strengthening communities, building assets and improving lives in economically distressed areas of the Mid South by providing access to high-quality financial products and related services. HOPE sponsors Hope Credit Union, which is a low-income designated, credit union that converts federally-insured deposits into financial services for low-wealth communities. Since 1994, HOPE has generated over $1.4 billion in financing for entrepreneurs, homebuyers and community development projects and directly benefitted more than 75,000 individuals.
The Food Trust, a nationally recognized nonprofit, strives to improve access to healthy, affordable food. For over 20 years, the organization has worked with neighborhoods, schools, grocers, farmers and policymakers to develop a comprehensive approach to improving the health of America's children. The Food Trust was a key partner in the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative, a program that funded 88 grocery stores and improved access for nearly half a million Pennsylvania residents. Following the success in Pennsylvania, the agency now works with partners in several states and at the national level on healthy food financing initiatives.
Applications and more information on the program are available on the HOPE website.

8-30-11 Message Obtains Publisher Distribution Agreement
Goal to break open the urban market
August 23, 2011 - Message magazine has been presented with a publisher distribution agreement from Ingram Periodicals, Inc. of La Vergne, Tn. One of the nation's largest periodical distribution organizations, Ingram Periodicals provides publications of choice by point-of-sale, or bulk within such venues as: Barnes and Nobles (internet retail included); Gander Mountain (sport outfitters); Hastings (a unique new and used book retailer); and Jo-Ann's.
Message magazine is the oldest Christian outreach publication targeted to, but not exclusively for African-Americans within the U.S. Originally published under the title The Gospel Herald in 1898, Message has morphed in its 113 year existence. Ever mindful of its purpose, it is instructional, informational, and inspirational to the end user. Since late 2007, the marketing department of Message in conjunction with the editor, Dr. Washington Johnson, has pursued a single focus of reaching the masses of our metropolitan centers more effectively. A constant objective, this mission has been coupled with persistent prayer.
During the last four years we have experienced expanded reach through three targeted 100,000 distribution events in Washington, DC '09, Atlanta, Ga. '10, and Orlando, Fl. '11. All of these initiatives along with other high profile events, such as our international cruise that was a Spiritual Retreat in February 2011, gave the Holy Spirit the necessary elements for Ingram Periodicals to pursue distribution of our product. We did our part to raise the visibility of Message. God gave His blessing by sending Ingram Periodicals to our door.
What began as a casual contact to the marketing office of Message from Ingram Publishing, promises to break open the urban market for non-Christian and other Christian receivers to engage our publication. Dr. Johnson notes, "This is a day we never anticipated, but it shows God's power to get the message out in these last hours of earth's history."
There are more exciting opportunities Message is exploring to reach the diverse population groups within metro societies. We encourage you to partner with us as a sponsor to your family, friends, and neighbors. Become a donor to our Prisoner Partnership program where we send Message to incarcerated individuals, and their families as we point them to the Hope of all ages–Jesus Christ.

ING to Pay Taiwan $8.8 Million for Alleged Irregularities
ING Groep NV (INGA) agreed to pay $8.8 million to the Taiwan government's labor and pension funds to compensate for investment losses allegedly related to irregular trading activities.
ING will pay the full amount sought by Taiwan partly for the sake of continuing to develop its business on the island, the Amsterdam-based company said in a statement yesterday. Rosemary Wang, a Financial Supervision Commission official, said today the regulator sent a warning to ING and asked it to fire the employee after an investigation.
"The company values its customers and business in Taiwan and is taking this action as a gesture of goodwill, to protect the interests of the company," said Victorina De Boer, an Amsterdam-based spokeswoman for ING. "There was no legal obligation to compensate clients."
The payment is the latest in a series of penalties levied against financial institutions in Asia. The Japanese Securities Dealers Association last month fined Nomura Holdings Inc. (8604) 300 million yen ($3.7 million) for leaking client information. ING, under European Union orders to sell its insurance and asset management businesses before the end of 2013, says it employs almost 200 people on the island, the most of any foreign asset management firm.
Five-Year Ban
ING had previously rejected the compensation demands, saying the losses related to the employee's activities were limited. Taiwan's labor and pension funds have 1.97 trillion Taiwan dollars ($67 billion) of assets.
The employee's contract has been terminated, De Boer said.
Taiwan's securities market regulator has concluded its investigation of ING, the FSC's Wang said. She declined to comment on whether prosecutors are pursuing the matter.
ING rose 0.9 percent to 6.95 euros at 11 a.m. in Amsterdam.
The Council of Labor Affairs said on Oct. 31 that ING would be banned from investing on behalf of the government for five years.
"I hope this doesn't set a precedent," Henry Lin, chairman of the Securities Investment Trust and Consulting Association of the Republic of China, wrote in an opinion piece published in newspaper the Economic Daily News today. "Just because a fund loses money doesn't mean investors can seek compensation. You have to show legal violations."

Banana importers Dole and Del Monte have been fined 60 million euros ($82 million) for running an illegal price-fixing cartel, the European Commission said.
Europeans consume a lot of bananas
The importers, along with the Chiquita company, are accused of discussing prices and their pricing intentions in weekly phone calls between 2000 and 2002.
Europe's top antitrust watchdog on Wednesday, Oct. 15, ordered Dole to pay 45.6 million euros for its role while Del Monte/Weichert has been fined 14.7 million euros. Chiquita escaped a penalty because it tipped off authorities about the cartel.
"European consumers spend significant sums on bananas every year," Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes said in a statement. "It is totally unacceptable for companies to have rigged prices in this manner and the companies concerned must learn the hard way that the commission will not tolerate such behavior," she added.
Germany's Federal Cartel Office has fined the German units of nine cosmetics companies including Chanel and L'Oréal a total of almost 10 million euros ($15.7 million) for sharing strategic information. (11.07.2008)
Germany's antitrust authority has fined pharmaceutical company Bayer 10.3 million euros ($16 million) for illegally fixing the price of medications, including aspirin. (29.05.2008)

Easy DIY: Indoor/Outdoor Entry Mat
Entry mats are an important part of a green home because they help trap contaminants (from shoes, paws, etc.) that can be harmful to indoor air quality. While any brisk door mat might do, I love this DIY version because it's a functional and playful way to transition between indoors and out.
The DIY creation of Benita Larsson, she turned a length of coco husk mat from this:
...into this!
Only a few simple supplies are needed for this project and it's a great solution for homes with a small entry space.

The mandatory meal plans are not cheap, so what are you getting for your money?
The commons is strategically placed in a location that is easily accessible to all persons on the KSU campus. Although with so many people this creates a problem with the seating arrangements. Some students and are not satisfied with the current environment that The Commons provides. Sophomore Hollie Rhodus said, "we need a new facility… we have out grown this building." Rhodus also shared that one of her friends that attends the University of Georgia says that they have multiple dining room areas that are compatible with meal plan swipes.
Undoubtedly a new building would most likely cause an increase in meal plan price and tuition in general.
Admittedly, KSU does have other places where one can sit down and eat food and buy food, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of the meal plans? If you are on campus you might as well go to the place where the meal plan swipes are accepted. After all you were forced to buy them. Nonetheless, you walk in; get your food and all of a sudden it is as if you've become a lion in the safari. You just gained dominance over the kingdom, have some zebra meat on your plate, but wait there is no room at the watering hole. Do you ask the live zebra two tables down if you can sit down in the extra seat next to them? Unless conducting a sociology experiment, those encounters usually do not end up going so well.
The building is relatively new, clean, but not spacious. So all that money that is spent on meal plans must be for the expenses of the food.
For those of you who are vegetarians or vegan or somewhere in between, or indifferent to their diet, The Commons provides a variety of options for all diets.
Associate Director, Culinary & Hospitality Services, Jenifer Duggan said, "We serve vegetarian and/or vegan items at every station, every day, and offer a selection of alternative proteins like quinoa and tofu."
The commons is able to prepare less popular items because according to Duggan The Commons practices small- batch cooking, only cooking the minimum amount of food and composing the left overs.
Although for the rest of the population that has no qualms on what they eat there is a wide variety. There are ten available stations always compiled
with different types of food assembled. All of which are flavorful and different and more importantly hot!
Globetrotter, The Commons' International cuisine platform has a menu that changes daily. This station also wants international students to submit home recipes that they miss and the cooks will do their best to make it just like their parents.
The Commons is also working on growing its own food as to provide a better quality of freshness to our palate. Plus a lot of the food is cooked from scratch.
So while perfection is not the song everyone is singing, it is the on the horizon.
A.J. is a sophomore and a Communication major.

For one week out of the year, all eyes are on the Lone Star state as thousands of fans, bands, bloggers, vendors, and film geeks swarm the Texas state capital for SXSW.
This year, from March 14-16, a new venue with the electronic set in mind popped up on historic 6th street. Sponsored by blu eCigs, the Electric Lounge held free shows featuring some of today's most popular and rising stars of the dance movement; so naturally, there were some incredible Dim Mak Records artists included in the lineup. We all know it's not a party until it's a Dim Mak party, and SXSW attendees learned that lesson first hand. Featured at the Electric Lounge were DMR artists Datsik, Keys N' Krates, and Will Brennan. Playing to a packed, yet intimate crowd, the lounge was popping off like the buttons of a too-tight shirt on a too-round man.
Datsik did what he does the absolute best (see: blow minds) by playing tracks off of his newest EP, Cold Blooded(Firepower), as well as crowd favorites from the "Vitamin D" album.
The triple threat trio of Keys N' Krates brought the house down with pumping vibrations, giving fans a taste of what's to come in 2013 with "Treat Me Right", the trios newest single that is placing on charts all across the board.
Will Brennan, riding the waves of his latest releases "RNR" and "Fall In Love" in celebration of the re-release of his album "Prodigal Son", the hip hop/electro darling gave Electric Lounge a performance that dared the attendees to not throw their hands up and get down.
All in all, Dim Mak Records artists showed native Austinites and international visitors alike that the label features diverse artists who know how to please an equally diverse crowd. Thanks to everyone who supported our hard working artists at this years SXSW, and an extra special thanks to #blu eCigs and #ElectricLounge for shining their spotlight on Dim Mak Records.
Check out some of the madness that took place in the photobooth on Thursday. See the full set here.

Find the point of intersection of each pair of lines, if one exits. Check each solution if possible
Can someone teach and show me how to solve these step by step?
Finding the point of intersection for each of the pairs of lines is doing the following:
1.) Solving for y in each of the following
2.) Setting them equal to each other, since you just found that they both equal y. Solve for x and this will give you when they intersect at which x value.
Thus, they will intersect when they are equal.
For A:
y = (-x - 3)/2 (bring 2y to the left side and x to the right and divide by 2)
y = (x+9)/4 (same method as above)
(-x - 3)/2 = (x+9)/4; solve for x.
Isolate x. Let's isolate x on the right side. Multiply the right side by 4, and thus you need to multiply the left by 4, too.
2*(-x-3) = x + 9
-2x - 6 = x + 9
Subtract 9 from right and left side and add +2x to both sides:
-15 = 3x
Divide by 3
x = -5; Thus, they intersect at x = -5; plug x = -5 into any of the equations and you will get the y value, too.
Let's pick the first equation: x=-2y-3.. so
-5 = -2y - 3;
-2 = -2y
y = 1;
Thus they intersect at (-5,1); you can also find this solution by graphing the two equations and seeing where they intersect on a graph.
For B and C, you do the exact same thing. For B I will give the answer, however, I think it is best that YOU try and do the work. If you get a conflicting answer, then show the work that you did and I can help you then. If you get the right answer, then perfect. No further explanation is needed.
B.) x = 3; y = 1, thus (3,1)
C is a little trickier:
C.) y = 2*x - 5/2
Once you have gotten both in the "y = mx + b" form, you'll notice that the slope in both of the equations is 2; thus, they will never intersect. They have different y intersects so they will not coincide either. Graph those two functions and it will be obvious why they do not ever intersect.
Hello, Haxcake!
You're expected to know how to solve a system of equations.
Find the point of intersection of each pair of lines, if one exists.
This one suggests the Substitution Method.
. . (1) Solve one equation for one of its variables.
. . (2) Substitute this expression into the other equation.
. . (3) Solve the resulting equation for its variable.
. . (4) Solve for the other variable.
Substitute this into Equation (2): . .
And solve for
Substitute this into Equation (1): .
Therefore, the intersection is

SAN ANTONIO — John Picacio's passion for his Loteria card art still burns bright. The proof: The local Hugo Award-winning artist recently unleashed "El Corazon," his latest SF/F-spin on the classic Mexican game of chance.
FreakSugar revealed the new work, along with word from Picacio he'll sell limited edition posters of "El Corazon" and his moon card "La Luna." Look for them at his signings at the North American Science Fiction Convention in Detroit, San Diego's Comic-Con International, Loncon 3 in London and Atlanta's Dragon Con. The posters measure 11 x 18 inches and go for $10 each.
Take heart, local fans. Picacio will also sell the posters in his hometown at San Antonio's own Alamo City Comic Con in September.
Just make sure you grab a poster in person. Picacio said on his blog he has no foreseeable plans to sell them online.

PITTSBURGH — The Detroit Red Wings pulled off a spectacular finish to earn a 23rd consecutive trip to the playoffs.
Riley Sheahan scored with a minute to spare in regulation, securing the Red Wings the one point they needed to advance. They ended up losing in a shootout 4-3 Wednesday at Consol Energy Center against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
BOX SCORE: Penguins 4, Red Wings 3 (OT)
The evening quite possibly served as a preview of a first-round matchup, as the Red Wings are likely to finish with a wild-card in the Eastern Conference, which will pit them opposite either the Penguins or the Boston Bruins. The Red Wings lost the first game against the Penguins, back in mid-December, but beat them last month.
Wednesday's game saw the Red Wings dominate at five-on-five play, doubling up on shots, but undone by two penalties. Tomas Jurco and Jakub Kindl gave the Red Wings two leads that James Neal leveled with two Penguins power plays. Jussi Jokinen scored off a puck misplay in the third period, but Sheahan fired a shot from the corner that hopped past Marc-Andre Fleury.
Jokinen was the only one to score in the shoot-out, losing the puck only to pick it back up and send it in off Jonas Gustavsson's stick.
STRANGE: Nathan Horton scores goal without playing game
A night after winning at Buffalo, the Red Wings set about to keep up the good work, dominating with the puck in the first period at Pittsburgh. The Penguins needed seven minutes just to get one shot on Gustavsson; by that time, the Red Wings already had forced seven saves from Fleury, including a short snap shot from Gustav Nyquist, and run the Penguins ragged during an early power play.
What looks like the makings of a dangerous third line delivered midway through the period, with Daniel Alfredsson taking the puck from Darren Helm and sending a bouncing shot on net that Jurco turned into his eighth goal of the season. By the end of the period, the Penguins had just four shots on net to 13 from Detroit.
That clip wasn't going to last, of course, and after spending the first minute and change of the second period killing off a penalty to Kyle Quincey, the Red Wings found the neutral zone less easy to get through, cycling harder to establish. The lead was lost 24 seconds after Luke Glendening went to the penalty box, when Neal finished a set-up by Sidney Crosby even after Helm had bested Crosby in the faceoff circle.
Kindl beat Fleury with a screened shot with five minutes to go in the second period, benefiting from the chaos Sheahan was creating in front of Fleury, but then the Penguins got another power play, and Neal struck again, snapping a shot past Gustavsson from the left circle.
Neal's goals were part of just 10 shots the Penguins had mustered after two periods, while the Red Wings had more than doubled up throwing pucks at Fleury. That didn't change in the third period — but a mishap with the puck made the shot advantage of little satisfaction. Kris Letang, playing for the first time since suffering a stroke 10 weeks ago, drove the puck to the net and fired a shot Gustavsson appeared to stop. Only the puck slipped beneath him and Jokinen put it into the net, setting up a wild finish.

For many years now ranking a website on Google has been very confusing for people. Some so-called "experts" say that SEO work is not effective and that you just need to have good content, while other "experts" say SEO is everything and there are numerous "tricks" you can implement to get you on the first page of Google. Let's set the record straight a little bit, don't listen to people who have these opinions. There is a balance to an effective marketing strategy, that balance is SEO & UX. Let's explain each of these areas first and then we can discuss how they can combine to help your website.
SEO is Complex
Patrick Stox, from SearchEngineLand.com, said this, "SEO isn't just putting keywords on a page. It's not just building a bunch of links, and it's not just writing a bunch of content. Many of the methods used in the past no longer work, and SEOs should be looking at everything, and I mean everything, that they can in order to put the pieces together. No longer will lots of shoddy links get you to the top (for long, anyway), but that doesn't mean you shouldn't build links. Article sites and article spinning have had their heyday, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't create content."

Pattaya Golf Courses | Play Golf in Pattaya
The choice of Pattaya golf courses makes the Eastern Seaboard area of Thailand a very popular destination for golf holidaymakers from around the world. With over 20 courses to choose from, Pattaya is one of the most diverse areas for playing golf in Thailand.

Sensing the demand for more upscale accommodations many international 5-star hotels have opened in Pattaya, thus providing lodging alternatives at every price point and standard of luxury. The resorts provide plenty of relaxation and allow all golfers to enjoy a golf holiday in Pattaya. [Read more about Golf in Pattaya]

The fight for legalizing chickens continues, though I've taken a bit of a campaign hiatus while summer activities caught me up in their clutches. I have to say I'm thrilled that — here in Central Texas anyway — school started this week.
And as we get into the new school year routine, we're introducing another fun addition to the schedule — goat kid care. I've been thinking goaty thoughts since before we even moved here, and then I took that milking class (which actually discouraged me, because it reminded me of all the things we weren't ready for). But, now, it's finally time to take the step.

|A very happy onion loaf
This another one of Miscovich's adjustments to his 69% Pain au Levain, there is only one adaption left in his book for me to complete and I am still waiting to get my hands on some good quality olives. When the price is right, I will purchase some. This bread is actually a very inexpensive custom sourdough to make, since it only requires about 1 medium sized onion and about 10 minutes of sauteing. Miscovich recommend cooking the onions with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. I think I might have used a little more oil than was called for, but a mild olive aroma came through this bread, which added a nice touch.
Miscovich instructs the reader to "chop 283g of onions coarsely and toss them with olive oil, salt and pepper. Caramelize until translucent. They should still be pretty wet, not crispy and dark."
The onions are added to the dough towards the end of the mixing on second speed. Unlike the rosemary sourdough this bread retained 25% of its flour weight from whole wheat flour and also 28g of water is removed to make up for the addition of the caramelized onions and oil which add a small amount of moisture, but enough that the hydration should be corrected. To be honest I am excited to try doing a rosemary and caramelized onion sourdough, but using the 75% water hydration. I will also keep the whole wheat flour in that mix, because I like the addition it adds, and I am always looking to keep at least some aspect of my bread fiber filled.
This dough was folded two times, I was able to get strong folds. I am not going to go in depth into the baking process as I have gone in depth in the last two blog posts which are in the sense exactly the same, but I do want to share a bunch of photos.
I strongly recommend this bread, its a keeper and makes wonderful grilled cheese sandwiches and Miscovich notes it is great when beef is involved.
Bake on!
-DW, The Rye King!

Boys basketball in the Bay Area figures to be special in 2010-11.
Proof on the hardwood was provided over the weekend at one of the most prestigious summer AAU events in the nation – the Fab 48 tournament in Las Vegas.
According to colleague and one of the rising high school basketball experts in the country, Jason Hickman, the most dominant team in the tournament was easily the under-17 Drew Gooden Soldiers out of Oakland, who won the championship 86-66 over the Iowa Barnstormers.
Incoming Oakland High senior Jabari Brown was the MVP of the tournament but got lots of support from all-tournament picks Brandon Ashley (Bishop O'Dowd), Nick Johnson (Findlay Prep-Henderson, Nev.) and Josiah Turner (Sacramento).
Hickman, the basketball editor at MaxPreps.com, said Brown, already a well-known national commodity, has stepped up his physique and game, playing considerable time at point guard. That's a scary notion considering the chiseled 6-foot-4 standout is a fantastic shooter and slasher to the basket.
He led a team that was not only blessed with superior talent but that shared the ball and made the extra pass – not a trait you see often in AAU ball.
That's a big reason why no team came close to beating the Soldiers.
The Drew Gooden under-16 Soliders also made it to the championship game, but were defeated handily by Team Philly, 81-47.
To see wall-to-wall coverage on the tournament, start here.
Check out also Hickman's live blog from not only the Fab 48 but the Super 64 tournament, also last weekend in Las Vegas.

Bring to Cancún and Cozumel what you would to any beach destination: light cotton clothing, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, flip-flops, etc. Beach buffs should bring two or even three swimsuits, plus snorkel gear if you've got it. Water shoes come in handy wherever the beach is rocky, while tennis shoes and bug repellent are musts for the Maya ruins. Finally, it's always smart to bring an extra pair of glasses or contacts, prescription medications, birth control, and a travel clock. If you do leave anything behind, no worries—there's a Walmart in all the major cities.
When to Go
Considering weather, prices, and crowds, the best times to visit the Yucatán Peninsula are from late November to mid-December and from mid-January to early May. You'll avoid the intense heat from June to August, the rain (and possible hurricanes) in September and October, and the crowds and high prices around the winter holidays.
The big caveats with those periods are spring break (March/April) and Semana Santa (the week before Easter), when American and Canadian students, and then Mexican tourists, turn out in force and prices spike temporarily.
Be aware that certain attractions are only available (or recommendable) during specific months, whether snorkeling with whale sharks (June-September) or visiting Chichén Itzá on the spring equinox. Even many year-round activities like sportfishing, kiteboarding, and bird-watching are better or worse according to the season.
Passports and Visas
American and Canadian travelers are required to have a valid passport to travel to and from Mexico. Tourist visas are issued upon entry; you technically are allowed up to 180 days, but agents often issue just 30 or 60 days. If you want to stay longer, request the time when you present your passport. To extend your visa, visit the immigration office in Cancún.
No special vaccines are required for travel to the Yucatán Peninsula, but it's a good idea to be up-to-date on the standard travel immunizations, including hepatitis A, MMR (measles-mumps-rubella), tetanus-diphtheria, and typhoid.
Cancún International Airport (CUN) is far and away the most common and convenient entry point to the region. A handful of flights go directly to Cozumel or Chetumal, and there are plans (but nothing more) for a new airport outside Tulum; there also is an airport near Chichén Itzá, but it is used exclusively for charter flights. An excellent network of buses, shuttles, and ferries covers the entire region, though a rental car makes a world of difference in more remote areas.
Excerpted from the Twelfth Edition of Moon Cancún & Cozumel.

The Oregon State Fair in Salem will host the U.S. championships of the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series this August, with competitions that test top lumberjacks in chopping, sawing and speed climbing.
The series' quarterfinals, semifinals, U.S. professional championship and collegiate championship will run during the fair's opening weekend: Friday, Aug. 27, through Sunday, Aug. 29.
Athletes from other countries will also compete in the professional competitions, which include lumberjacks wielding souped-up chainsaws, hand saws and axes, and climbing 60-foot poles. Another event features women darting across bobbing logs in a 70-foot-long pool.
STIHL, an outdoor powertool maker, bills the competition as the "premier lumberjack sporting event in the world." It's the 25th season of the TIMBERSPORTS series, which has expanded to 19 countries and is televised on ESPN2.
The event has never been held in Oregon, said Drew Mahalic, CEO of the Oregon Sports Authority, which helped bring the championships to the state fair. "We're hoping it finds a home here because it just makes so much sense for it to be in Oregon."

An Indian politician found himself in hot water after he filmed a Facebook Live video while entering Parliament in New Delhiand allegedly revealing the buildings' security measures in the process.
Bhagwant Mann — comedian turned Member of Parliament (MP) — apparently filmed the video in an effort to show people how Parliament's proceedings work.
Other MP's, however, viewed his attempt at transparency as a security breach. The since deleted video began while he was driving to the building and crossing through the security check points. He also explained the way in which his vehicle is identified to get through them.
Once inside, he began explaining to viewers the process of the "zero hour" which includes a drawing that determines which MP gets to ask questions on a given day.
When another MP noticed he was recording and questioned him about it, Mann shamelessly admitted he was posting a live video, which is when all hell broke loose.
According to Mashable, the entire ordeal resulted in the Parliamentary proceedings being adjourned.
Parliamentary Affairs minister Sumitra Mahajan has reportedly asked for a report from Parliament security on the situation and requested an explanation.
Mann offered the minister an apology for the recording, vowing to "not repeat it in the future," according to The Tribune India.
The Indian Parliament was a target of terrorism in 2001 and 13 people were killed, which offers some understanding as to why they are taking Mann's actions so seriously.
Jeopardizing the security of the Parliament House could lead to future harm, especially as the entire world is on high alert due to international attacks at the hands of ISIS.
Despite his apology, Mann maintains that he didn't do anything wrong by trying to share how Parliament functions.
"Is it wrong to show to public how their issues are raised in the Parliament? They have elected us and they have a right to know all this," Mann said in his defense.
"Google Earth shows the approach to Parliament on its website. It's a digital world. I don't think I have done anything that threatens the security of the Parliament," he added.
Parliament's security concerns are warranted, but the fact that Mann felt he needed to go to such lengths to educate the public speaks to another pressing issue to consider surrounding political transparency.
Mann is correct in his view that voters have a right to know how decisions are being made on their behalf.

Lift Chairs
A lift chair is similar to a regular recliner. Both types of chairs can be used to recline your position or to extend your feet using a footrest. But there are differences too. For example, a recliner is operated manually, but a lift chair is controlled by the push of a button. A lift chair has a mechanism which lifts up from the seated position to a vertical position, so you can easily get out of the chair.
Initially, a lift chair sounds like a fantastic solution for people who have trouble getting up from a chair. The lift chair mechanism does the work and takes the struggle out of going from sit to stand.

Hotel Viura is a stunning cutting edge hotel nestled in a traditional Spanish wine village in the Rioja Alavesa region.
This is the perfect home base for exploring all the different vineyard throughout the region. I've heard the hotel restaurant food and service is amazing which is an added bonus when you are staying somewhere a bit more remote with fewer dining options. The rooms are open concept (that includes the bathroom) and have a modern raw edge to them. The cubic forms which make up the hotel ensure an unobstructed view of the stunning landscape for each unit and if that's not enough they have a roof top bar where you can see a panoramic view while enjoying local wines.
If you love travel, wine and unique hotels this might be one worth checking out!

Melanders butik & brasserie – review #2
The last time we were at Melanders was last year, also during Restaurant Week. We thought that the food was great but that we couldn't afford the regular price so here we were again, eating out at bargain prices ;)!
The menu this time was toast skagen (shrimps in a mayo dressing on toast) and lobster soup for the apps and fish/seafood casserole and steak minute for the mains. I was going fish all the way so I didn't have any complaints. The lobster soup was very good but the portion was tiny! First, the soup came in with what looked like crayfish tails in the bowl. We all looked at each other wondering what was going on. Then the waitress came with a thermos of soup and started pouring into the bowl. For all that, the soup should have been hot but it was lukewarm! A big minus for me.
The fish casserole was also served in a similar fashion. The fish/seafood was presented very nicely in a soup bowl and then the liquid was ladled into the bowls in front of us. Again, the soup was lukewarm. The taste of the main was very funky. There was way too much fennel and also a taste that I couldn't distinguish. I thought that it was curry at first but I wasn't sure. At any rate, it had a funky taste and not to my liking. The salmon was cooked just a little too long and the white fish, not sure what it was, was cooked into oblivion. A fish restaurant shouldn't make this kind of mistake. A big no-no!!! Also, of the mussels present in the soup, there were meat in only half the shells! If you're going to serve mussels, then make sure that the shells are not empty!
One big positive was the sourdough bread and hard bread – they were fantastic!
The atmosphere was very good and the toilet was clean. The service was good on the whole but the waitress did forget my friend's drink – twice!
So, the verdict is that this is the last time we'll come here for Restaurant Week! I don't care how cheap the food was, it wasn't up to scratch and therefore a waste of my money. Never again thank you!
Restaurant week is a huge opportunity for restaurants to advertise themselves and attract new and old customers! Melanders didn't do this and they didn't care about the quality of food that was coming out of the kitchen.

The facilities department interacts with all aspects of an organization, and so catches the flak for just about everything that goes wrong. A steady stream of complaints fills each FMs inbox everyday. In this highly interactive webinar, a panel of industry experts will offer insight on strategies for handling common complaints faced by facility managers. The discussion will also cover how to move beyond simply fighting fires all day and capitalize on how occupant complaints can serve as opportunities to evolve the role of facility management in the organization. You will have a chance to join the conversation and trouble shoot your own particular sticky situations in a Q&A with the panel.

Ball runs a 4.66 in the 40-yard dash
Indianapolis --- He wouldn't provide a specific goal, but Montee Ball did smile and say he planned on being "fast" in the 40-yard dash.
Instead, he ran the 40 in 4.66 seconds. Though Ball's game isn't based on breakaway speed, his stock likely took a hit on Sunday. The 5-foot-10, 214-pound running back from Wisconsin finished 19th of 33 running backs.
The top 10 went as follows:
Onterrio McCalebb (Auburn): 4.34
Knile Davis (Arkansas): 4.37
Kerwynn Williams (Utah State): 4.48
Johnathan Franklin (UCLA): 4.49
Michael Ford (LSU): 4.50
Kenjon Barnet (Oregon): 4.52
D.J. Harper (Boise State): 4.52
Giovani Bernard (North Carolina): 4.53
Mike James (Miami): 4.53
Christine Michael (Texas A&M): 4.54
A poor 40 time is by no means a death sentence for running backs. Just last year, Florida Atlantic's Alfred Morris finished with a 4.67. The 5-foot-9 running back then went on to rush for 1,613 yards and 13 touchdowns as a rookie. Still, Ball could now use a faster time at his pro day in Madison.

Super Bowl is one of the biggest, if not the biggest single sports event in the world. Over 65,000 people attended the Indianapolis Lucas Oil Stadium last Sunday as two of the most legendary American football teams played the XLVI Superbowl – New England Patriots vs. New York Giants.
Super Bowl is also the most exciting advertising event of the year. Super Bowl XLVI broke yet another record with 111,3 million viewers in the US alone; and this makes the event very appealing to advertisers.
This year corporate advertisers paid on average US$3.5 million for a 30 second commercial! You can see one of them on the right, featured as our Video of the Week. And the tickets aren't cheap either! The average price paid for one Super Bowl 2012 ticket was $3,985. What a game!
Sunday's game was as exciting as ever, and for awhile it looked like it would go to New England Patriots. Eventually Giants turned their game around with Eli Manning's amazing 38-yard pass to Mario Manningham with only 3:39 left on the clock.
New York Giants won the game 21 to 17 bringing them their fourth Super Bowl championship. Incidentally their previous 2008 Super Bowl victory was also against the Patriots.
Super Bowl 2012, the Social Media Game
Ok, that was the game on the football field, but how about on the Internet? Let's have a look how these two teams stack up on the Social Media arena.
New York Giants
Home town – East Rutherford, New Jersey
Coach – Tom Coughlin
Quarterback – Eli Manning
Facebook 1,8 million likes
Twitter 252k followers
Google+ 139k in circles
TOTAL: 1,83 million fans
New England Patriots
Home town – Foxborough, Massachusetts
Coach – Bill Belichick
Quarterback – Tom Brady
Facebook 3,1 million likes
Twitter 326k followers
Google+ 140k in circles
TOTAL: 3,5 million fans
As you can see from the figures above the winner of the Super Bowl Social Media Showdown is suprisingly not the Giants! It is the New England Patriots who dominate the social medias by a huge margin.
Patriots' social media audience is about twice the size of the Giants. The biggest difference is on Facebook where Patriots have over 3 million Likes, whereas Giants have managed to gather 'only' 1,8 million. Patriots are winning across the entire social field as also their Twitter and Google+ accounts have gathered more audience than the Giants.
When it comes to Quarterbacks it's a win for the Patriots again! Tom Brady has 1,3 million Facebook fans, which is almost as much as the entire Giants team!
Eli Manning has to settle for 447,197 Likes. Manning's Facebook Page is actually extremely poor, and it makes me wonder what those almost half a million fans get out of it. 'Nothing' would actually be the answer here, as you can see if you clicked the link.
So, congratulations to the New England Patriots for winning the 2012 Super Bowl Social Media Showdown!
How did you like last Sunday's game? Did you think Giants deserved to win? And how about them awesome commercials?

Arduino frequency counter intro
Here is a frequency counter for the Arduino, it is used in many projects, such as the pedelec legalisation device and the scale interface.
The library is also compatible with Arduino boards that use the SAMD21: Arduino Zero, SAM 15x15, etc.
Frequency counter library
Download the library from GitHub, you will find here program examples too.
Counting multiple frequencies with polling and interrupts
Simple example
#include <FreqPeriodCounter.h> const byte counterPin = d3; FreqPeriodCounter counter(counterPin, micros); void setup(void) { } void loop(void) { counter.poll(); float f = (float)1 / counter.period; }
FreqPeriodCounter facts
- The frequency counter can be used in two ways:
Interrupt triggered by the input signal.
Polled regularly in a loop.
- The FreqPeriodCounter is equipped with synchronization so that also the first measurements are valid.
- The maximum frequency with polling is approximately 25kHz.
- The measurement can be done in milli seconds or micro seconds. The constructor has a function as argument, here we pass the required function: millis or micros.
- We can take a debounce time of about 10ms if the frequency comes from a mechanically switch: counter(counterPin, micros, 10);.
FreqPeriodCounter variables
- ready() If an entire period is measured, ready is true
- elapsedTime Use this to detect if there is no frequency signal: (elapsedTime > timeOut)
- period
- hertz()
- pulseWidth
- pulseWidthLow
- level
Simple interrupt example
We use the interrupt here. The period time is measured in μs, the frequency is displayed in Hz.
#include <FreqPeriodCounter.h> const byte counterPin = 3; const byte counterInterrupt = 1; // = d3 FreqPeriodCounter counter(counterPin, micros); void setup(void) { attachInterrupt(counterInterrupt, counterISR, CHANGE); } void loop(void) { int period; if(counter.ready()) period = counter.period; } void counterISR() { counter.poll(); }
Using a variable instead of the input pin
Instead of using an input signal on a pin you can also use a bool variable as input. You have to pass the bool variable via the poll() function:
if(myCounter.poll(your_variable)) blabla;
You have to initialize the counter object as follow:
FreqPeriodCounter myCounter(millis, 1000);
Counting multiple frequencies
#include <FreqPeriodCounter.h> FreqPeriodCounter counter1(3, micros, 0); FreqPeriodCounter counter2(4, micros, 0); FreqPeriodCounter counter3(5, micros, 0); void setup(void) { } void loop(void) { counter1.poll(); counter2.poll(); counter3.poll(); float f1 = (float)1 / counter1.period; float f2 = (float)1 / counter2.period; float f3 = (float)1 / counter3.period; }
Examples with the frequency generated by the Arduino
You don't need a separate function generator to test the FreqPeriodCounter. We use the Arduino itself to generate a frequency signal, just connect d3 to d9.
Frequency counter using interrupt
#include <FreqPeriodCounter.h> #include <Albert.h> #include <Streaming.h> #include <TimerOne.h> /* Note: connect d3 to d9 */ const byte counterPin = 3; // connect d3 to d9 const byte counterInterrupt = 1; // = d3 const byte PWMpin = 9; // PWM only d9 or d10 FreqPeriodCounter counter(counterPin, micros, 0); void setup(void) { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(PWMpin, OUTPUT); Timer1.initialize(); Timer1.pwm(PWMpin, 300, 70); // duty cycle [10 bit], period [us] <8388480 attachInterrupt(counterInterrupt, counterISR, CHANGE); } void loop(void) { if(counter.ready()) { Serial << endl << counter.period; //Serial << endl << counter.level, counter.period, counter.pulseWidth, counter.pulseWidthLow; } } void counterISR() { counter.poll(); }
Frequency counter using polling
#include <FreqPeriodCounter.h> #include <Albert.h> #include <Streaming.h> #include <TimerOne.h> /* Note: connect d3 to d9 */ const byte counterPin = 3; // connect d3 to d9 const byte counterInterrupt = 1; // = d3 const byte PWMpin = 9; // PWM only d9 or d10 FreqPeriodCounter counter(counterPin, micros, 0); void setup(void) { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(PWMpin, OUTPUT); Timer1.initialize(); //Timer1.pwm(PWMpin, 300, 20000); // duty cycle [10 bit], period [us] <8388480 Timer1.pwm(PWMpin, 300, 40); // duty cycle [10 bit], period [us] <8388480 } void loop(void) { if(counter.poll()) Serial << endl << counter.period; //if(counter.poll()) Serial << endl << counter.level, counter.period, counter.pulseWidth, counter.pulseWidthLow; if(counter.elapsedTime > 50000) Serial << "No signal\n"; }
Frequency in decimals
To measure the frequency more accurate than 1Hz, we can use floating points, e.g. 899.543 Hz. However, this will take a lot of memory because the floating point library will be used. Therefore, the frequency is measured in integer with a multiplying factor. The precision has to be specified, for example 100:
unsigned long centiHz = counter.hertz(100);
This increases the accuracy:
counter.herz() is 16, counter.herz(100) is 1623.
In order to make use of floating points, do the following:
float hz = 1000/counter.period; // period in ms
Frequency counter synchronization
It is a fact that a frequency counter can't do valid measurements starting from the first pulse. In most cases, you do not notice this, but for nitpickers, the FreqPeriodCounter is equipped with synchronization so that measurements are never invalid. At the start, firstly two periods must be measured before the measurement is valid and the counter is ready. Hereafter, the counter is synchronized, and the counter is ready after each period.
The FreqPeriodCounter is automatically synchronized from the beginning. With synchronize() can be synchronized, for example, when at frequency changes no wrong measurements may occur in the transition phase.
For using more frequency inputs, each frequency input must have its own FreqPeriodCounter object. Here is an example with 4 FreqPeriodCounters using 2x polling and 2x interrupt:
FreqPeriodCounter counter1(6, micros, 0); // polling FreqPeriodCounter counter2(7, millis, 100); // polling FreqPeriodCounter counter3(2, millis, 0); // interrupt 0 FreqPeriodCounter counter4(3, micros, 0); // interrupt 1 void setup(void) { ... attachInterrupt(0, interrupt0, CHANGE); attachInterrupt(1, interrupt1, CHANGE); ... } void loop(void) { ... counter1.poll(); counter2.poll(); ... } void interrupt0() { counter3.poll(); } void interrupt1() { counter4.poll(); }
Multiple interrupts can easily cause problems, take care about the timing.
Frequency counter unit test
The unit test is done with the Arduino itself; it generates its own frequency signals. Download here the FreqPeriodCounter test program. This is the output of the test program.
testFreqPeriodCounterDebounce_ms OK 1 101 11 90 testFreqPeriodCounter millisec OK 1 1023 599 424 testFreqPeriodCounter microsec OK 1 1022976 599388 423588
To do: high frequency measurement with the Arduino
To measure higher frequencies, we should use the timer/counter, which can be clocked externally on the T0 pin. I have not implemented this, but it would be a challenge to extend the library with a high frequency counter.

Graffiti and fly-posting
Section 28 Graffiti and fly-posting offences: fixed penalty notices
105.Section 43 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 allows authorised officers to issue fixed penalty notices for the offences of graffiti and fly-posting, and previously sets the amount payable for a graffiti or fly-posting fixed penalty notice at £50.
106.Section 28 of this Act enables a local authority to vary the fixed penalty amount for a graffiti or fly-posting offence in its area. Where no amount is specified by a local authority, this section also raises the base amount from £50 to £75. This amount may be changed by an order made by the appropriate person. In either case, the local authority may provide for a lesser amount to be paid if early payment is made within a specified period. In addition, the appropriate person (the Secretary of State in relation to England and the National Assembly for Wales in relation to Wales) may make regulations relating to the fixed penalty amount, for example to specify a range within which the amount should fall.
107.Parish and community councils (by way of their qualifying as "litter authorities" under section 88(9)(f) of the 1990 Act, and thus as "local authorities" under these provisions) are also given the power to issue fixed penalty notices for the graffiti and fly-posting offences. The effect of subsections (2) and (3) of section 28 (relating to the definition of "relevant local authority") is to require them to adopt the amount specified by the local authority.
Section 29 Fixed penalty notices: powers to require name and address
108.Section 29 further amends the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 to give an authorised officer of a local authority the power to require the name and address of a person to whom he proposes to give a fixed penalty notice, and makes it an offence for that person either to fail to give that information or to give false or inaccurate information.
Section 30 Fixed penalty notices: authorised officers
109.Section 30 extends the definition of an "authorised officer" to allow local authorities to authorise individuals other than their own employees for the purpose of giving notices for graffiti and fly-posting offences.
110.Subsection (2) enables the appropriate person (the Secretary of State in relation to England and the National Assembly for Wales in relation to Wales) to make regulations prescribing conditions that a person must satisfy before a parish or community council may authorise that person to issue notices on their behalf for graffiti and fly-posting offences.
Section 31 Extension of graffiti removal regime to fly-posting
111.Sections 48 to 52 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 enable local authorities to issue notices requiring the removal of graffiti within 28 days from certain surfaces to statutory undertakers (such as railways and port authorities) or a person responsible for street furniture. If the graffiti removal notice is not complied with, the local authority can remove the graffiti themselves and reclaim their costs.
112.Section 31 amends the powers to issue graffiti removal notices (in respect of the defacement of a relevant surface to a degree that is detrimental to the amenity of an area or that is offensive) under sections 48-52 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 by extending their application to cover illegal advertising (fly posting). This enables a removal notice to be issued requiring the removal of any poster or flyer displayed on a relevant surface in contravention of regulations made under section 220 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
113.Paragraph 17 of Schedule 4 makes consequential amendments to the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 so as to re-name these notices as "defacement removal notices".
Section 32 Sale of aerosol paints to children
114.Section 54 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 makes it an offence to sell aerosol paints to persons aged under 16. Section 32 introduces a new section 54A concerning the enforcement of section 54.
115.Section 54A(1) requires a local weights and measures authority to consider, at least once a year, the extent to which it is appropriate to have a programme of enforcement action in relation to section 54 and, to that extent, to carry out such a programme.
116.Section 54A(2) sets out what measures a programme of enforcement action may contain. Guidance will set out what "other measures" in section 54A(2)(c) may include.

EA in transition: Guide to keeping up with disruptive technologies
The enterprise landscape has changed significantly over the past few years. The driving force behind that change is cloud computing enterprise infrastructure. Cloud is real; it is not just a fad. Cloud is a reality here today -- not a vision of what may come. Cloud really is changing the way applications are being developed, the way hardware gets provisioned and how enterprise architecture will be designed.

All IT professionals should prepare for the changes that cloud computing is carrying into the enterprise. This quick twenty-minute lesson is designed to help you build a plan for engaging with cloud-based technologies that will help you minimize the risks and maximize the gains of adopting a cloud model.
Your professor for this lesson in the cloud classroom of Java University is Cameron McKenzie, editor in chief of TheServerSide.com and author of several books on Java development, including Hibernate Made Easy and JSR-168 Portlet Development Simplified. His simple message for CIOs, CEOs, developers and architects is that cloud technology is not just a buzzword. Cloud will continue to gain ground, becoming first prevalent and then pervasive. Forward looking IT pros will get ready for a cloud computing enterprise architecture now, while it still brings a competitive advantage and before it becomes a minimum requirement.
McKenzie covers the definition of the nebulous term cloud, the logical evolution of computing power from home-grown to utility, the phantom fears, uncertainty and doubt around cloud computing, common places where we're already using cloud, and the very real risks of shadow IT creeping up where cloud policies have not yet been established. He'll also present strategies and best practices for reducing many of the risks around using cloud services, choosing a first cloud use case for your organization, and migrating applications into the cloud.

An English Rose blooms during Melbourne's spring
Steven King has Serenade Rose in full flight as the filly, who has an outstanding international pedigree, races to a clear-cut win in the VRC Oaks yesterday.
Photo: Angela Wylie
FOLLOWING in the hoof prints of Makybe Diva but with due respect, at a good distance yesterday's VRC Oaks winner Serenade Rose is just another example of the globalisation of the Australian breeding industry.
A daughter of Cambridge Stud's Nureyev stallion Stravinsky, Serenade Rose has an international pedigree of the highest order.
Her granddam, Circus Ring, was imported to Australia by international breeding conglomerate Coolmore Stud, in foal to a southern hemisphere-time covering to world champion sire Sadler's Wells.
Circus Ring was co-champion English two-year-old filly in 1981, winning three races, including the group 2 Lowther Stakes at York as well as a listed event at Ascot.
At stud, she has produced seven winners, two of whom have won at listed level, with another two daughters producing black-type winners.
Her Sadler's Wells filly, later named Rose Of Tralee, was sold as a yearling at the Sydney Easter sale for $500,000 to the bid of Graeme Rogerson and he trained her to three wins on the provincial circuit and as well as a 2800 metres victory at Canterbury.
She visited Stravinksy in her first season at stud, with the resulting colt, who has not raced, selling in New Zealand for $115,000.
Her return visit to Stravinsky the next season produced the filly who now races as Serenade Rose, who, as with her dam, went through the Sydney Easter sale, making $400,000.
Stravinsky was a dual group 1-winning three-year-old in England, taking the July Cup and Nunthorpe Stakes, and was the champion European sprinter of 1999. He has been well patronised in his five completed season at Cambridge, serving more than 100 mares every season, and is again covering a good book of mares this year at a fee of $NZ35,000.
Before the emergence of Serenade Rose, Stravinsky's best runner in Australia had been smart mare Ballet Society, while in NZ, dual group 1 winner Keeninsky has been his flagbearer.
In the northern hemisphere, his best to date has been group 1 Middle Park Stakes winner Balamont and only last month, a son, Steel Light, won a group 2 race in Canada.
Rose Of Tralee foaled a brother to Serenade Rose last month and his value would have multiplied many time since his birth given the deeds of his sister.
Rose Of Tralee's yearling filly by Darley Australia's Kingmambo horse King's Best is among entries for the Inglis Premier sale next February.
After Rose Of Tralee, Circus Ring had three fillies by Danehill before being retired. Two of those are now at stud in Australia, while the other went to the US.
