FAQ - Auctions
What is a Higgenbotham Auctioneers auction?
Auctions on Higgenbotham Auctioneers are not like auctions on Ebay. They're authentic auction experiences that often take place in real time as well as online. Just like you have probably seen on television, people arrive at the auction's location, browse the lots or property, and place their bids. The difference is that with Higgenbotham Auctioneers, the auction action takes place online as well as on location.
Some Higgenbotham Auctioneers auctions are online-only. These auctions are not taking place live, and all bids are accepted online.
Some Higgenbotham Auctioneers auctions are live only. These auctions do not accept any online bidding, but prospective bidders can view details about the auction online such as the auction location, catalog, and details surrounding the auction.
How do I register for an auction?
Creating your Higgenbotham Auctioneers account will provide bidding access to all auctions within the MarkNet Alliance network. Some auction companies may require additional registration, and bidding will not be enabled for that auction until this process is completed.
Where can I find the terms and conditions for an auction?
Terms and Conditions are located both on the main auction event page and on individual lot pages.
How does an auction end?
An auction only ends when bidding has stopped. The auction company hosting the auction will specify the amount of time that must pass before an auction is considered closed. Some auction companies allow time extensions on individual lots if bidding is still active (called "staggered closings") and some auction companies elect to have all lots within their entire auction go in to extended bidding if any of the auction's lots are still being bid on.
Auctions close in a few different ways. Some auctions close at a set time, pre-determined by the auctioneer. Some auctions have a staggered closing. This will be specified in the auction terms with a start time. The first lot or group of lots will close at the specified time and subsequent lots will close after a certain amount of time has passed, either one by one or in defined groups of lots.
Either of these two types of auctions can also have dynamic or extended bidding. The auction will close only when bidding has stopped for a specified amount of time. If dynamic/extended bidding is active it will be mentioned in the terms and conditions along with the amount of time between bids necessary for an auction to close.
How do I know I if I've won an auction?
You will receive an invoice via email when you are the winning bidder.
How do I pay for my items?
Payment terms are specified in the auction's terms and conditions.
Can items be shipped?
Shipping is available on many auctions, but not all auctions that offer shipping will ship all items. Check in the Auction's Terms & Conditions for shipping costs and availability. Shipping is always at the expense of the buyer. Directions for arranging shipping can usually be found in the Auction Terms & Conditions. Questions can be directed to the Auctioneer or to Higgenbotham Auctioneers.
Shipping insurance is recommended for all shipped items and must be arranged by the buyer. Higgenbotham Auctioneers is not responsible for items damaged during the shipping and handling process.
How can I contact an auction company?
The "Ask the Auctioneer" form on the auction event page and on each lot page allows you to send a message to the hosting auctioneer. Questions that other users have asked can also be viewed on these pages. The auction company's contact details (address, phone number) are also available on the main auction page.
How can I search for a specific item?
Use the search bar at the top of the page to find a specific item in all Higgenbotham Auctioneers auctions. You can narrow your search by category or view all lots that match your keyword in all categories. You can also save a search to revisit it later in your account under "Saved Search."
How do I print an auction's documentation?
On the auction event page and lot pages, there are links to download PDF files of the auction's brochure and packet.
How can I find an auction in my state?
All search results can be filtered by state or multiple states. These filters can be found in the left hand side bar on all search results pages. To view all auctions and then filter by state, simply select "Auctions by State" from the "Browse By" drop down on every page, and then filter by your state(s) on the left.

Our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). Copyright-infringing materials found on the Sites can be identified and removed via our DMCA compliance process listed below and you agree to comply with such process in the event you are involved in any claim of copyright infringement to which the DMCA may be applicable. If you believe in good faith that a Member has infringed your copyright(s), you can request that we take down the infringing material(s) by following the steps in this DMCA compliance process. Please note that we do not make any legal decisions about the validity of your claim.
When a clear and valid Notice is received pursuant to the guidelines set forth below, we will respond by either taking down the allegedly infringing content ("Allegedly Infringing Content") or blocking access to it. We may contact the Notice provider to request additional information.
Under the DMCA, we are required to take reasonable steps to notify the entity who posted the Allegedly Infringing Content ("Alleged Infringer"). The Alleged Infringer is allowed under the law to send us a counter-notification as instructed below ("Counter-Notice"). On receiving a Counter-Notice, we may restore the Allegedly Infringing Content unless we receive notice from the original Notice provider that a legal action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the Alleged Infringer from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.
Notices and Counter-Notices are legal notices distinct from regular Site activities or communications. As such, they are not subject to our Privacy Policy. This means we may publish or share them with third parties at our discretion, and we may produce them pursuant to a legal discovery request.
Anyone making a false or fraudulent Notice or Counter-Notice may be liable for damages under the DMCA, including costs and attorney's fees. If you are unsure of whether certain material infringes your copyright, contact an attorney.
Please don't abuse this system, but if you truly believe your work has been infringed, you should file a DMCA notice. To file a DMCA Notice with MoveOn, you must send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. We reserve the right to ignore a Notice that is not in compliance with the DMCA. Your Notice must:
If your material has been removed or blocked by us as a result of a DMCA Notice, you may send us a Counter-Notice pursuant to Sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA asking for the Allegedly Infringing Material to be restored. To file a DMCA Counter-Notice with us, you must send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
When we receive the Counter-Notice, we will send a copy of the Counter-Notice to the party who originally requested the removal of the Allegedly Infringing Material and we will reinstate the Allegedly Infringing Material, unless that party obtains a court order supporting removal of the Allegedly Infringing Material. We reserve the right to ignore a Counter-Notice that is not in compliance with the DMCA. Your Counter-Notice must:

LIFE The Beatles: Then. Now. Forever
The Beatles never really left us, and have never ceased to be. Meet the Beatles! was the second Beatles album released in the United States, but it's also what every generation has managed to do during the last half century: discover anew the music and the mythology of the Beatles. In 2018, McCartney's album Egypt Station reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 200. In 2019, Beatles songs were streamed nearly 2 billion times on Spotify. Why?
The Beatles were the big bang that created much of modern youth culture—popular music, concerts, fashion, film, merchandising. "For me, and many others, the Beatles came as a welcome breath of fresh air," said Stephen Hawking in 1992, speaking on the BBC when choosing Please Please Me as one of his Desert Island Discs. The physicist knew that a collapsing star creates a black hole. And while there were no greater stars than the Beatles, their collapse didn't leave a void from which no light can escape. The Beatles defied physics and remain luminous. John Lennon sang it, five years after the Beatles broke up: "We all shine on, like the moon and the stars and the sun." On and on, on and on.

LIFE Magazine and the Power of Photography
Princeton University Art Museum; Princeton, New Jersey
Saturday, February 22, 2020 – Sunday, June 21, 2020
Offering an in-depth look at the photography featured in LIFE magazine, this exhibition examines how the magazine's use of images fundamentally shaped the modern idea of photography in the United States. The work of photographers such as Margaret Bourke-White, Larry Burrows, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Frank Dandridge, Gordon Parks, and W. Eugene Smith is explored in the context of the creative and editorial structures at LIFE. Drawing on unprecedented access to LIFE magazine's picture and paper archives, as well as photographers' archives, the exhibition presents an array of materials, including caption files, contact sheets, and shooting scripts, that shed new light on the collaborative process behind many now-iconic images and photo-essays.

The Transition Timeline – a closer look
by Shaun Chamberlin on April 15th, 2009
The last month has been a bit of a blur, with very well-attended book launch events all over Britain, a two-day seminar at the Centre for Alternative Technology scoping out Zero Carbon Britain 2, more radio interviews, and even being caught on film for the first time (more practice required methinks!).
While I've been zipping around, a number of people have requested a more detailed write-up on The Transition Timeline than I have so far provided online, so let's take a closer look. Read more »

Acupuncture for Seniors
My 88-year-old father got acupuncture and that convinced me that my attitudes about integrative medicine were more old-fashioned than his
By: Jennifer Garrett
My father is not the kind of person you would expect to get acupuncture. He's nearly ninety and, I thought, rather set in his ways. Yet he also has a host of (mostly) age-related health issues including arthritis. And pain, I've learned, is a powerful motivator.
My dad's arthritis is fairly severe and greatly restricts his mobility. He shuffles around stiffly with a cane or walker. He barely lifts his feet and trips on the slightest threshold. Subsequently, he falls about twice a year. He usually lands on a shoulder and often hits his head on the way down. He has—knock on wood—never broken anything. He does, however, sustain a lot of soft-tissue damage.
To ease the pain, he usually ends up taking some kind of narcotics. One side effect is constipation. Sometimes it gets so severe that he starts to go into shock. This throws his heart into atrial fibrillation (or irregular heartbeat), something with which he has struggled my whole life. His doctors were able to correct the last bout with medication and electrical cardioversion, but he developed severe tremors immediately afterward. One doctor diagnosed it as a form of Parkinson's disease and prescribed more medication.
My mother was dubious and started talking to friends, one of whom recommended acupuncture. I don't know whether my mom had to convince my dad to try it. I didn't even know he was considering it. All I know is that she told me after the fact that the acupuncture had worked. He went regularly for months until the tremors abated completely. He still has his other health issues, but his hands and feet don't shake anymore.
I was surprised not that the acupuncture worked but that my dad was willing to consider it at all. It turns out that I shouldn't have been. Of course I am well aware of the growing popularity of organic foods, mindfulness and yoga—some of the mainstays of what was formerly labeled alternative, holistic or complementary medicine. I didn't realize, however, how willing older populations would be to adopt some of these practices and treatments.
When the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, part of the National Institutes of Health, conducted a National Health Interview Survey in 2007 (the most recent survey period), it found that forty-one percent of individuals aged sixty to sixty-nine, thirty-two percent of those aged seventy to eighty-four, and nearly a quarter of the seniors older than that used some kind of complementary medicine.
"I don't see any lack of willingness of senior citizens to try integrative medicine," says Robert Edwards, a physician with the Dean Clinic in Lake Delton. Edwards is a primary care doctor who also performs integrative consultations. "A lot of people who find themselves on a lot of different medications are willing to try different things to get help … Senior citizens are definitely willing to try other things and look at other things. I don't even differentiate age-wise."
Edwards is one of many local health care practitioners who prefer the term "integrative medicine" to other labels, including "alternative" or "complementary" medicine. Whatever you call it, IM generally refers to an approach to health, illness and wellness that factors in the whole person—body, mind and spirit. More practically, it's an approach that blends practices and treatments from different cultures and disciplines to find a balance that suits each patient's needs, tolerances and sensibilities.
Edwards says he finds that many of the senior citizens he sees are already familiar with the home remedies and non-invasive treatment options that he recommends. He notes that they recognize that they are at greater risk for drug interactions because of their age, and they readily seek out ways to avoid deleterious side effects of pharmaceuticals and other traditional treatment options.
In fact, Edwards says the most common barrier isn't lack of awareness or information. It's not even an unwillingness to try new things. Rather, he says the biggest obstacle for seniors—particularly those on fixed incomes—is cost, as many health insurance plans do not cover the full range of IM treatment options.
My dad was no exception. He paid out of pocket for his acupuncture even though his health insurance would have covered pharmaceutical treatments. My parents could afford it; not all seniors can.
David Rakel, an associate professor in the UW School of Medicine and Public Health as well as the director of the UW Integrative Medicine Program, acknowledges that cost is a common limitation for all patients, not just seniors. However, Rakel is optimistic about the future for IM and people like my dad. Specifically, he expects that insurance companies will eventually embrace IM, as many of its disciplines and modalities cost less than conventional pharmaceuticals or medical procedures. He admits that the insurance industry can move slowly, but he says the bottom line could drive change more quickly in this instance. Rakel says that as doctors develop expertise in IM, it could reduce the demand for more expensive solutions.
To make his point, he uses a familiar issue that brings senior citizens to the doctor's office: pain. Rakel explains that a common mainstream treatment is epidural steroid injections. "If you look at the research for epidural steroids, the effects are short-term at best. It's very expensive and has to be done in the hospital," Rakel says. "Acupuncture [can have] long-term benefits and it's much cheaper."
Rakel expects that demand for IM will only continue to grow among patients and providers; National Health Information Survey results support that. Rakel also points to UW's IM program, which celebrated its tenth anniversary last year. In that time it grew from four to forty physicians and other care providers. It now offers myriad clinical and complementary services, including acupuncture, massage, mindfulness and various bodywork disciplines, as well as a fellowship program.
"We have people looking at how we can facilitate health and healing … instead of just focusing on how we fix things once they're broken," Rakel says, noting that moving from illness- to wellness-based medicine is a dramatic paradigm shift for Western medicine. Even so, he thinks we can all expect better options in the near future.
"Our opportunity here is for a different approach," he says. "I have faith. That's a very powerful process that we often don't give credence to."

Between long delays, the lousy food and the even lousier in-flight movies, airline travel couldn't get much worse, unless you happen to be going through Miami, where TSA workers charged with making our skies safer have instead turned to pilfering passengers' luggage.
"I was outraged at the time. It's like I felt really violated," said Lisa Manley, one of the several victims of the TSA's ring of thieves.
Manley had a wonderful vacation until she got off her Air Tran flight from Miami to Atlanta, only to find expensive items, including a $3,500 Roberto Cavalli purse and $5,500 dollars worth of jewelry gone, into thin air.
U.S. & World
Miami-Dade Airport Detectives have spent months trying to break up the theft ring, already making several arrests and confiscating dozens of pricey stolen items.
Among the arrests are TSA workers Tony Defelis and Lithania Noukeo, both charged with grand theft after breaking the TSA's cardinal rule: serve and protect passengers, don't steal from them.
Recently added to the list was TSA worker Abigail Urbizo, accused of taking a passenger's cellphone out of the lost and found and fired under the zero tolerance TSA policy.
"We all, you know, swore to protect and we definitely feel that persons who have been given a position of trust that are supposed to be looking out for our good are doing so," said Sgt. Ariel Rodriguez, with the Miami-Dade Airport Police. "We have a dedicated team of detectives who follows up on these cases."
Sources say six TSA employees, two men and four women, were fired weeks ago for running the organized operation. One returned 31 passenger items, including an iPod, another brought back 25 stolen items, including jewelry and a camera after both were discovered.
Now detectives are trying to find more suspects while finding the rightful owners of the items, which include expensive watches, jewelry, cameras and other goods. They'll be prosecuted once the victims identify their belongings.
Little consolation for weary travellers made wearier by the thefts.
"That would be outrageous, that would be really bad if they take my things away," said MIA passenger Ignatio Navas. "I really expect them to only check though and protect myself, protect the airport."
Sgt. Rodriguez said the solution is simple.
"We just need to have people who are going to be honest and not take things from the bags," he said.
TSA spokesperson Sari Koshetz said that the administration has a zero tolerance for such behavior, and that "the action of a few individuals in no way reflects on the outstanding job our workforce does every day to ensure the safety of the traveling public."
Anyone who may have been a victim of theft at MIA is urged to call the Miami-Dade Police Department at 305-876-7500.

wedge(redirected from wedging)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Idioms, Encyclopedia.
In technical analysis, a series of high and low prices for a security that, when plotted on a chart, looks vaguely like a triangle. A triangle indicates that investors do not know whether a bull market or a bear market will prevail. If the triangle breaks upward, it is a bullish sign, but if it breaks downward, it is a bearish sign. A triangle is also called a wedge. See also: Ascending sign, Descending sign.

When discussing a pivotal event that happened in the past, whether 5 minutes ago or 50 years ago, sportscasters often use the historical present tense. For example, after an error we might hear, "If he catches that ball, the inning is over." Or, "if Babe Ruth stays with Boston, the Yankees don't win all those pennants."
A similar usage seems to occur when discussing battles and wars: "If Stonewall Jackson survives, the South wins at Gettysburg."
Is there an explanation for this phenomenon of language?

We consider the availability of non-GE foods to be one of the most important issues facing shoppers today. That's why we're proud to be a leading supporter of the Non-GMO Project—a nonprofit collaboration of manufacturers, retailers, farmers and consumers dedicated to ensuring the availability of non-GE foods and beverages.
The Non-GMO Project is the only organization providing independent, third-party verification and non-GE guidance for products in the U.S. and Canada. Every product we offer is enrolled in the Non-GMO Project, which means a third party verifies our testing and GE controls to make sure we meet the Project's high standards for non-GE foods. Once the evaluation is complete, we're cleared to display the "Non-GMO Project Verified" seal on our packaging. Because the verification process is elaborate, and updating our packaging can take a few months, you may see some of our newer products on the shelf without the "Non-GMO Verified" seal in place.

A man arrested for possessing an allegedly stolen laptop may be in court today because of a brilliant PR campaign by the owner of said laptop but there was a lot of technology that went into getting the story to go viral.
Oakland resident Joshua Kaufman became an Internet celebrity this past week after he posted spy photos of a man he said had taken his laptop.
Kaufman decided to take matters into his own hands after not receiving the help he wanted from his local police department.
He launched a blog called thisguyhasmymacbook.tumblr.com and posted photos of the alleged thief using his MacBook. The blog received a lot of press and the Oakland Police Department paid attention.
A sting was set up and 27-year-old Muthanna Aldebashi of Alameda was arrested for suspicion of possessing stolen goods.
None of this would have been possible if Kaufman had not set his laptop up with a British made app called Hidden.
Some have suggested that Kaufman's story was an elaborate marketing ploy to get attention for the app developed by Flipcode Ltd.
But as the arrests suggest and the CEO of the company, Toby de Havilland, say, that is not the case.
He says his company can related to Kaufman's story. After all the idea for Hidden came from a friend who had his laptop stolen.
de Havilland spoke with us from London before Aldebashi was arrested. He said while his company does not disclose how many users of the $15 a year service there are, the numbers are in the "hundreds of thousands."
How the app works is quite simple as well. Users have full control over their data and when spy shots should be taken.
"We take our users security and privacy extremely seriously," de Havilland said. "Only the user with access to the account can activate tracking and they have the option to permanently delete all collected data."
Hidden is activated once a user logs into hiddenapp.com on a mobile or secondary device and reports his or her computer as stolen.
Then the app gets busy.
"It works by collecting network and location data using WiFi Triangulation from Skyhook Wireless," de Havilland said. "We also collect photos using the inbuilt iSight camera and screenshots of the computer in use."
Hidden also collects the public IP, ifconfig data and trace route data along with the Wi-Fi triangulation data from Skyhook.
While all that information collection can sound scary, de Havilland insists users can delete any of it at any time.
And just how many stories like Kaufman's are there out there?
"We have hundreds of success stories," de Havilland said.
There's No Viral Hoax Hidden in Your MacBook

13 July 2012 - Utrecht, The Netherlands and Lucca, Italy
Rabobank Group Consolidates And Reports Globally With Tagetik
Another of the world's largest financial institutions recognizes Tagetik's unique ability to meet the performance management requirements of large global banks
Tagetik, a global provider of enterprise software solutions for Performance Management, Disclosure Management, Financial Governance and Business Intelligence, today announced that Rabobank Group is implementing Tagetik 4.0 to manage their financial, statutory and management consolidation as well as external reporting to the Dutch Central Bank within a single, unified solution.
The software, which is distributed by iNovasion in The Netherlands, replaces the Rabobank's existing consolidation and inter-company matching solution. The second phase will include the implementation of Tagetik's Collaborative Disclosure Management application.
"Rabobank held an extensive business process redesign and solution selection phase. Business users and the IT team came to the joint conclusion that the Tagetik solution fits Rabobank's requirements the best," says René Witlox, Head Business Development & Support at Rabobank. "This gives us confidence that the project will run smoothly for all the different Rabobank stakeholders with the help of the Tagetik team."
"Rabobank Group conducted a comprehensive selection process to select a software provider that could perfectly meet all their requirements, show a realistic project approach and involve excellent people to work with," adds Marco van der Kooij, General Manager at Tagetik The Netherlands. "Tagetik outperformed the competition leveraging rich, 'built–in' functionality to support a global consolidation and reporting process as well as strong commitment from the management team to go for the extra mile and make this project a great success."
"With Rabobank, Tagetik continues to strengthen its position as a global provider of solutions for financial institutions," explains Sabrina Rosati – EVP, Professional Services at Tagetik. "We are a new breed of CPM provider and leverage a clearly differentiated approach to meeting the more exacting needs of major multinationals across business industries and specifically in the banking sector. This includes deep domain experience and specific solutions designed to meet the complex financial consolidation requirements of financial services organizations in a single, unified solution.
"Rabobank Group's subsidiary in the United States, 'Rabobank, N.A.' – which provides full service banking through its network of 120 branches and 15 financial centers – also has recently implemented Tagetik software (replacing its legacy SRC software solution) to manage consolidation of actuals, budgeting, forecasting, driver-based planning down to the branch level and automate reporting processes leveraging full integration with Microsoft SharePoint.

This image makes me happy. Other things making me happy: my ten day vacation that starts today, my dog's cute face and the fact that I am no longer sick! HOLLA! Being sick sucks and I am happy to close that chapter this week. Shall we move right along and talk about some fun links? Well okay then, I aim to please:
*I'm so excited that so many of you are going to do the Whole 30 with us in January. Hooray for support! The thing that helped me the most the last time around was being OVER-PREPARED. But don't feel like you have to spend y30 days standing at the stove. Yes, you will be cooking a lot, but if you think about your strategy beforehand you can do it pretty efficiently. Check out this awesome video from The Kitchn on How To Cook A Week's Worth of Vegetables in One Afternoon. While I definitely eat WAY more veggies than that in a week, I love the sentiment and calm behind it. PS How gorgeous is that kitchen? PPS Extra inspiration available if you read about Melissa's 60 Minute Cooking WOD.
*We are just about 10 days out from 2013 and goals are certainly on my mind. I loved this very real perspective about goal setting. Lots of good points in both the actual post and Danielle LaPorte's post which he mentions.
*By far the FUNNIEST thing I read all week: 101 Amazing Things Women Said On Twitter This Year.
*My library queue is now full to the brim with some of your great book suggestions the other day. Coming to a bookshelf near me soon is: The History of Love, The Gargoyle, Bond Girl, How to Be A Woman, The Night Circus and Still Alice. Thanks you all!
*Next year I'm determined to build an awesome PROFESSIONAL capsule wardrobe. When it comes to specific events and casual clothes I think I have it pretty nailed down. But I want to have more fun with my work wardrobe and still remain appropriate in my somewhat conservative office. I've been browsing lots of fun wardrobe checklists for inspiration.
Lastly, a few quick links about some of the less fun, more newsworthy events being talked about online:
*Oh Instagram! You caused quite a stir this week, didn't you? I have no idea whether I'm going to keep my account or not, but if you are dying to opt out here's a helpful tutorial on How To Download Your Instagram Photos and Kill Your Account.
*Regarding the tragedy in Newtown, CT I have been purposefully quiet, and it is mostly because I think there are enough eloquent voices out there expressing the sadness that people are feeling. But I am trying not to focus on the sadness. These words in Maggie's post actually were comforting.
A single man can't cause us to despair of humanity when we consider the dozens of teachers who put their lives between him and our children, the hundreds of responders who rushed to find him, and the millions like them — ordinary people with the capacity for great good.
And Sarah had some great advice on how to stay optimistic during tough times. It's a great perspective that applies not only to great tragedies, but everyday life.
We have to seek out the good in order to see it. I wish you all a weekend overflowing with the good!

Ria Antonia updates
May 18 -- Christopher Dunn and Loooch Racing Stable's Ria Antonia exited from her last-place finish in Saturday's Preakness in good health.
"She's in good shape," trainer Tom Amoss said. "We'll regroup and find another spot."
Ria Antonia, the only filly in the 10-horse field, was boarded on a Tex Sutton flight to Louisville, Ky. early Sunday morning.
May 16 -- Christopher Dunn and Loooch Racing Stable's Ria Antonia galloped 1 1/2 miles under exercise rider Maurice Sanchez at 6:30 Friday morning in a driving rain at Pimlico.
Trainer Tom Amoss watched the morning activity on a video while overseeing his main string at Churchill Downs.
"I liked the way she went. She looked good, but then she looked good before the Kentucky Oaks (G1), too," Amoss said of the sixth-place Oaks finisher who joined his barn three days after the May 2 race.
Ria Antonia will be ridden Saturday by Calvin Borel, who was aboard her for the first time on Sunday for a half-mile work in :47 3/5 at Churchill Downs. She will break from post No. 6.
Amoss, who will arrive in Baltimore Friday afternoon, was asked how he would like to see the race unfold for last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) winner.
"I would like to see a lively pace, a contested pace, involving the contenders," said Amoss, who saddled Mylute to a third-place finish behind Oxbow in last year's Preakness. "She needs to be in a good striking position and we need to see her run her peak race."
In addition to Mylute, Amoss has had one other Preakness starter, Hot Wells, who finished fourth behind Real Quiet in 1998.
May 15 -- With exercise rider Maurice Sanchez aboard, the only filly in Saturday's Preakness field, Ria Antonia, jogged a mile in dense fog a little after 6:30 Thursday morning at Pimlico.
"It was like driving 60 in the fog," Sanchez said with a laugh. "I don't think she noticed the fog, but I sure did."
Trained by Tom Amoss, Ria Antonia shipped to Pimlico Wednesday afternoon from Churchill Downs and Sanchez, who traveled with the filly on the flight, said everything about the ship was smooth.
Ria Antonia was scheduled to school in the paddock Thursday and will train at about the same time Friday.
Ron Paolucci, head of Loooch Racing and owner of the filly along with Christopher Dunn, has no qualms about tackling the colts with Ria Antonia after her sixth-place finish in the Kentucky Oaks (G1).
"This can't be any harder than running against (Oaks winner) Untapable," Paolucci said. "It looks to me like California Chrome and everybody else.
"She is the second-leading money earner in the field behind only California Chrome and she is the only other Grade 1 winner in the field besides California Chrome. How can people say that she does not belong?"
Calvin Borel, winner of the 2009 Preakness aboard Rachel Alexandra, the most recent filly to run in the Preakness, has the mount Saturday and will break from post position six. At 30-1, Ria Antonia is the longest price on the morning line.
May 14 -- Christopher Dunn and Loooch Racing Stable's Ria Antonia galloped 1 1/2 miles under exercise rider Maurice Sanchez shortly after the Churchill Downs track opened at 6 a.m. Wednesday.
Sanchez was slated to accompany Ria Antonia on the flight to Pimlico. Trainer Tom Amoss is scheduled to arrive Friday night.
Ria Antonia will be ridden by Calvin Borel, who won the 2009 Preakness on Rachel Alexandra.
Borel was asked where that Preakness victory with Rachel Alexandra ranked among his all-time favorites.
"Top five? No, all-time it's in the top three," Borel said with a smile.
Ria Antonia will represent Borel's fourth Preakness starter. The others were Kentucky Oaks (G1) winner Rachel Alexandra and Kentucky Derby (G1) winners Street Sense (2007) and Super Saver (2010).
Borel had ridden those three horses extensively and he realizes this is a different situation.
"The filly worked super, super good the other morning," Borel said of a half-mile in :47 3/5 on Sunday. "If the people want to take a chance and they give me the opportunity to ride, I'll take it. There are no outstanding horses other than California Chrome. If we can find a hole, we've got a shot."
Borel is scheduled to compete in Friday's $50,000 Xpressbet Hall of Fame Jockey Challenge at Pimlico.
May 13 -- Christopher Dunn and Loooch Racing Stable's Ria Antonia, jogged a mile under exercise rider Maurice Sanchez shortly after the track at Churchill Downs opened at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Winner of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) via disqualification last fall, Ria Antonia is scheduled to gallop in the morning before heading to Baltimore.
Ria Antonia would be the first filly to run in the Preakness since Rachel Alexandra won the race in 2009 with Calvin Borel aboard. Borel will ride Ria Antonia on Saturday.
May 12 -- After a 7 a.m. phone call Monday with Ron Paolucci (Loooch Racing Stable), trainer Tom Amoss confirmed that Ria Antonia would run in Saturday's Preakness and that Calvin Borel would ride.
"She had a nice work yesterday (:47 3/5 for a half-mile with Borel up) and looks good today," Amoss said. "We have a healthy, sound horse and we are ready to roll the dice."
Ria Antonia finished sixth in the Kentucky Oaks (G1) on May 2 and joined the Amoss barn three days later.
"The idea (to run in the Preakness) was Ron's," said Amoss, who has trained a string of horses for Loooch for two years. "She passed all the tests with us physically, mentally and how she trained.
"I got to see her before the Oaks and she prepared well and worked well before the race. I don't know what happened in the Oaks, but I like the way she looks now."
Ria Antonia is set to become the first filly to run in the Preakness since Rachel Alexandra won the race in 2009 under Borel. A total of 53 fillies have previously run in the Preakness.
"We wanted to get a rider that had the opportunity to work her and feel good about it," Amoss said. "I know Calvin's confidence is strong after the work."
Borel has ridden in the Preakness two other times; 2007 Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense, who finished second to Curlin, and 2010 Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver, who finished eighth behind Lookin At Lucky.
Amoss knows it will be a challenge to knock off Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome on Saturday.
"We are looking forward to running," said Amoss, whose Mylute finished third in last year's Preakness behind Oxbow. "I see it as California Chrome versus the rest. If he runs his race, he'll win. If it is not his day, it opens a number of possibilities and opportunities for the other runners, including us."
Ria Antonia is scheduled to return to the track to jog Tuesday morning then gallop Wednesday morning before getting on an early afternoon flight to Baltimore from Louisville International Airport.
With the announcement Monday that Ria Antonia will be entered, the Preakness will make history Saturday with a filly, a female trainer and a female jockey all competing in the race for the first time. Trainer Linda Rice will make her Preakness debut with Kid Cruz and Bayern's
jockey, Rosie Napravnik, is set for her second ride in Maryland's signature race.
Though it is a first for the Preakness, it will be the third time that at a Triple Crown race has had a filly, a female trainer and a female jockey. The 1984 Kentucky Derby was the first with Patricia Cooksey riding So Vague to an 11th place finish, one spot ahead of Biloxi Indian, trained by Diane Carpenter. There were two fillies in the 110th Derby, the D. Wayne Lukas-trained entry of Life's Magic and Althea that was favored at 5-2. Life's Magic finished eighth and Althea was 19th in the 20-horse field.
The Belmont Stakes triple came in 1996 when Hall of Fame jockey Julie Krone rode South Salem, who was eased; Cynthia Reese saddled the ninth-place finisher In Contention; and My Flag finished third.
May 11 -- Christopher Dunn and Loooch Racing Stable's Ria Antonia worked a half-mile on her own in 47 3/5 seconds over a track labeled as "good" early Sunday morning at Churchill Downs.
With Calvin Borel up for trainer Tom Amoss, Ria Antonia covered the first quarter-mile in :24 1/5 and galloped out five furlongs in 1:00. The move was the fourth fastest of 52 at the distance for the morning.
"Everything has been extremely positive with her and whatever the plan is, we are excited about her," said Amoss of Ria Antonia, who was transferred into his barn last Monday following a sixth-place finish in the Kentucky Oaks (G1). "All of her preparation with me has been very good."
Amoss said a decision regarding the Preakness would come Monday.
"I am going to talk with Ron (Paolucci of Loooch Racing) this morning and then again Monday morning after she's had a day," Amoss said. "I am sure a decision will be made tomorrow."
May 10 -- Christopher Dunn and Loooch Racing Stable's Ria Antonia, sixth in the Kentucky Oaks (G1) in her most recent start, visited the starting gate and then galloped 1 1/2 miles under Maurice Sanchez.
"She had blinkers on in the Oaks and we are going to change equipment for her next race; whatever that will be," trainer Tom Amoss said. "She stood in the gate with blinkers off, which is required for an equipment change. We are still up in the air about the Preakness. She will work Sunday or Monday, depending on the weather."

The GOP's probability of taking over the United States Senate increased dramatically Wednesday with the entry of Rep. Cory Gardner into the race against incumbent Obamacare enthusiast Senator Mark Udall in Colorado.
Not one GOP seat is in danger of turning blue, despite all the yammering from Democrats about Kentucky and Georgia, where Mitch McConnell will coast and will Rep. Jack Kingston will emerge from a crowded Senate primary to win handily in the fall.
The biggest loser because of this move --other than Udall who is as tightly bound to Obamacare as President Obama himself-- is Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor, whose already sinking campaign is going to quickly find itself on the wrong side of the triage tent as Democratic strategists and donors realize that Re. Tom Cotton is unbeatable in the Razorback state.
Here's the list of Democratic seats which Republicans are positioned to take, from the mortal locks at the top down to the biggest but still possible reach at the bottom:
1. West Virginia: Rep. Shelley Moore Capito v. no one.
Jay Rockefeller quit after Capito got into the race. She will win, going away.
2. South Dakota: Former Governor Mike Rounds in South Dakota v. no one in South Dakota
This is a mortal lock for the popular Rounds.
3. Arkansas: Rep. Tom Cotton v. the hapless legacy senator Mark Pryor in Ark
Pryor won his seat because his dad held it for years. Now the combat veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq Tom Cotton has a lead and is building it day by day, as shrinking Pryor struggles to erase all his positive endorsements of Obamacare. Most recently he was for repealing the cuts to career military COLAs after he was for them.
4. North Carolina: A businessman and former Speaker of the North Carolina House Thom Tillis is already ahead of another Obamacare booster, Denocratic incumbent Kay Hagan.
5. Michigan: Former Lt. Governor Terri Lynne Land is contesting an open seat left so by ancient Carl Levin, who has designated a no name with a propensity to disappear even more from voters' minds. Land is running on the same ticket with popular GOP governor Rick Snyder, and has established an early lead.
6. Virginia: Ed Gillespie is running against a popular former governor-turned-senator Mark Warner, in a purple state, but Warner is tightly tied to both Obamacare and the new governor Terry McAullife, and Gillespie is a pro's pro with terrific fundraising ability and genuine and deep roots in the Commonwealth.
7. Alaska: Either Mead Tradwell or Dan Sullivan will beat Mark Begich, who only won the seat six years ago because a corrupt Department of Justice prosecution of Ted Stevens hounded the late Stevens from office. Begich provided the crucial 60th vote for Obamacare, and Alaskans won't forget.
8. Montana: Rep. Steve Daines must unseat the recently appointed John Walsh, who was gifted his seat when clueless Max ("Obamacare is a train wreck") Baucus was exiled to China in an obvious attempt to hang on to the seat.
9. Colorado: Rep. Gardner is young, charismatic and an experienced veteran of Rocky Mountain State politics who spent years on the U.S. Senate staff of Wayne Allard, a stint in the Colorado legislature, and checked both big boxes --as a CSU undergrad and CU law grad. Mark Udall is Narack Obama in a badly fitting cowboy hat.
10. Louisiana: Rep. Bill Cassidy is in a dead heat with long-time hanger on Mary Landrieu, and will have to go through the "jungle primary" before facing Landrieu head-on a few weeks later. If, as expected, the Republicans already control the incoming majority, he will win in a romp. If the Senate hangs in the balance, more money will flow into the Lousiana race than has ever been seen there before.
11. Minnesota: Mike McFadden is a self-funding successful businessman who has an uphill but doable battle with comedian Al Franken, who along with Bernie Sanders and Barbara Boxer, define the left edge of the United States Senate. If Gopher State voters get tired of being the butto jokes because of Franken, McFadden can win here.
12. Iowa: This is an open seat, but with popular Republican governor Terry Branstad running for an easy re-election, if the GOP nominates the right candidate from among many contenders, he or she could win in November against an off-the-shelf-left-wing Democrat, blah blah blah Bruce Braley.
13. Oregon: Dr. Monica Wehby is a pediatric neurosugeon --exactly the sort of person Obamacrae booster incumbent Jeff Merkely didn't want to face but will in November.
14. New Hampshire: Democrat Jeanne Shaheen is praying Scott Brown doesn't get into the race, but the former Massachusetts senator has been a second-home resident of the Granite State for decades and may take the plunge. If he does --or if columnist-to-the-world Mark Steyn dives in-- Shaheen who delivered Obamacare and all its misery to New Hampshire, will be in deep trouble.
There's the list that makes Harry Reid twitch. How wonderful it will be to see him live with the rules he has enacted, all the precedents he has dashed, all the abuses he brought about. Cory Gardner made a lot of people happy yesterday, but not nearly as happy as November will make them.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Clay Buchholz came off the disabled list to toss five scoreless innings Tuesday, staking the Boston Red Sox to a 2-0 whitewash of Tampa Bay.
Buchholz (10-0) made his first start in more than three months following a shoulder injury but showed few signs of rust, scattering three hits in the 74-pitch performance.
The right-hander issued one walk and struck out six for the American League East-leading Red Sox, who reeled off a ninth win in 11 games.
Craig Breslow and Junichi Tazawa combined for 2 2/3 scoreless relief innings and Koji Uehara notched a four-out save -- his 19th of the season -- as Boston evened its three-game series.
Jonny Gomes and Jarrod Saltalamacchia each provided a fifth-inning RBI in the victory.
Tampa Bay's David Price (8-8) was saddled with the loss, allowing two runs on just three hits over eight innings. He didn't issue a walk and struck out nine.
Despite the defeat, the Rays' lead for the second and final AL wild card spot remained at 1 1/2 games over Cleveland and Baltimore, each of whom also fell Tuesday.
Their advantage over New York, however, dwindled to two games after the Yankees' Tuesday win over the Orioles.

The Missing Secrets of Nikola Tesla - Phenomenon - The Lost Archives
At the end of the 19th century, a race was on to power the world. Fraught with shameless incidents of divisiveness and greed, some of our most respected historical figures sounded the battle cry, among them inventor Thomas Edison and the worldly entrepreneur, J.P. Morgan. Caught in the crossfire was arguably the greatest inventor of all time, the man responsible for harnessing Niagara Falls and the AC current that powers our homes. Nikola Tesla claimed he could provide everyone with free, unlimited energy. Could his claim have been true?

Dear Sam.
Henry came over to supper last night and he is putting in some gas pipe for our gas stove. Uncle Al was here so he couldn't do much. It was awful hot here anyway. It is raining tonight and awful cold. Some change. I went to the band concert and left them here. When I cam home what do you suppose Lena told me? It seems that Henry was out in the kitchen and Lena gave him a B. of beer. Bert was here at the time as he bought the treat. Pa and Al was in the parlor. Pa said in fooling to Al "Im going out in the kitchen and have some beer with the boys why don't you join us." And Al said, "Guess I will I feel kind of dry." And they open a bottle for him and he drank it all just like an old timer. Now what do you know about that? He said it was the first he had for 12 years. Lena said when he was going home he banged into the door. Just look at all the fun your missing.
Bert and Henry are great old friends that is you would think so if you heard them talking. Henry was to come over tonight but I guess he got stuck on an outside job. Remember how we use to sit in a corner and laugh at him and the faces I used to make at him when he wasn't looking. Those was the happy day, ha Sam. I gave him one of your pictures, also Madge and Molly.
Madge is feeling pretty good and every one else is O.K. I am glad Norman wrote to you but I haven't seen him since. The band was swell last night but it seems to be punk every other night. Well if your coming home for the World Series you can stand in line all night and be ready for the game. You seem to be broke in on that line, owing to your 24 hr. patrol.
Well this is all I can think of now. I just had to tell you how your Uncle is raising Cain. Hoping this letter finds you well and your washing all hung out, I will close.
With Love from all.
P.S. Mary sends her love and lots of kisses.

Start Slideshow
- DUS ArchitectsDUS Architects just announced plans to push 3D printer technology to the limits by printing an entire house in Amsterdam! The design team will use a gigantic printer called the KamerMaker to print a canal house right on-site. DUS plans to print the façade and the first room by the end of 2013, putting them on track to producing the world's first 3D-printed house.1
- DUS ArchitectsThe KamerMaker, or room maker, is an eleven-and-a-half-foot custom 3D printer created by DUS that is housed inside of a disused shipping container.2
- DUS ArchitectsDUS plans to use the large scale printer to print the canal house bit by bit, first testing the design on a small scale model that is one twentieth the size of the proposed home.3
- DUS ArchitectsDUS chose a developing area just north of Amsterdam as the home for the canal house. Fittingly, once completed the 3D printed canal house will serve as a hub for 3D-printed architecture research.4
- DUS ArchitectsThe site will also serve as an event and educational space that invites visitors inside to learn about different kinds of 3D printers.5
- DUS ArchitectsAnother room made from shredded plastic bottles will be dedicated to 3D printing with recycled materials.6
- DUS ArchitectsEven if DUS Architects' canal house isn't finished in time to be the world's first 3D-printed structure (it's currently racing against entries from Softkill Design and Universe Architecture), the innovative project will be an important center for research on 3D-printed architecture.7
