The world's largest Thoroughbred Yearling Sale kicks off Monday at Keeneland.
Buyers have been browsing the sale all weekend, ready to spend thousands, if not millions of dollars on winning potential when the sale gets underway.
"This is the sale for yearlings in Thoroughbred industry. Everyone in the world comes to Keeneland. We're selling 3,908 catalog yearlings at this sale," said Tom Thornbury, the associate director of sales at Keeneland.
Keeneland has been selling horses since 1936. When train transportation became difficult, breeders decided to create their own sale company at Keeneland.
The Sale lasts from Monday, September 9th through Saturday September 21st and both buyers and breeders will come to Lexington from all around the world.
"The horse world is a very small world and it's very international," said Jean-Marc Quet, a buyer from France. "You've got to be able to travel and that's the reason why I'm here. This is a very important place for breeding and racing."
"We sell a lot of nice horses and we usually come to Kentucky to sell the better quality stock," said Tony Russo, a breeder from Canada.
Buyers had the opportunity to inspect the yearlings over the weekend before the first round of sale, book one.
"Very, very nice individuals, I think they're going to be very expensive so hopefully we'll find the right ones at the right price," said Bred Calhoun, a horse trainer looking to purchase yearlings at this year's sale.
The 2013 Keeneland September Yearling Sale has been reformatted. This year features three distinct market segments- week one, the weekend and week two which sale organizers say better meets the current needs of both consignors and buyers.
"What you miss on Monday means you'll be looking Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and that's the excitement of it there's never a dull moment, it all carries over," said Thornbury.
Nine of the past 12 Triple Crown races have been won by Keeneland September sale graduates and 91 September Sale graduates have won graded or group stakes.
"There will be one in here, we just have to be the lucky one to find it," said Calhoun.
Keeneland also has sales in November, January and April.

Wow...blast from the past with a bit of a twist.
Hiya CoastalMichelle, you came to Zerocommit (Is the site even still around, going?) as I was leaving due to RL time constraints and career change.
Tell Blkdog7 SG says hi and I still owe him a few pineapples.
My favorite adult clan turned podcasters and well known one's at that.
I'll definitely have to add the new WoW podcast to my list.
Michelle Madison said...
Hey Suicidal! Yes, Zerocommit.com is still around. John, Kyle and I are actually admins over there but since then blkdog (John) has passed it over to the able hands of Shibdaddy. For those who don't know, its a console video game community for adults.
We actually started up the Video Game Outsiders podcast way back when as a community podcast for zerocommit, but it quickly took on a life of its own, and then expanded to another community (which can be found on videogameoutsiders.com)
which of course.. led us here to Warcraft Outsiders. Our podcast simply about WoW. I do appreciate any criticism from the new folks here who check it out, but I do urge you to keep in mind the whole "outsiders" thing rings true on this show as well. We goof off, we get off topic, we aren't always right - and my co-hosts are extremely casual warcraft players! We all play the game very differently and don't take ourselves too seriously.
Anyway, good seeing you around here! Take care, and I will pass along your hello to John.


text: content LE Magazine March 2004 Life Extension for the BrainBy Bruce Scali What is your name? How old are you? What day is it? Simple questions such as these are the basis for the mental state assessment (MMSE) commonly accepted and administered in a couple of minutes in primary care settings.1 But how valuable to you or your physician would a perfect score be? Or, on the other hand, would a failing score be? In the first case, not very valuable, as most people would rattle off the correct answers, even if they had lost 30% or more of their peak cognitive ability. In the latter case, a failing score would not be very valuable either. Why? Because if one could not answer most of these questions correctly, one would be so diminished mentally that corrective measures would be of little, if any, use. More than 2 million Americans have been diagnosed with Alz-heimer's disease. If we do not do a better job now of preventing or slowing cognitive decline, this number will jump dramatically when the baby-boom generation reaches age 65.2,3 Fortunately, we have at our disposal tests that provide more-meaningful memory assessments that can be administered earlier when effective interventions can be prescribed. Forewarned Is ForearmedJust as cardiovascular disease is preceded by 20 years of cholesterol buildup and hypertension—conditions that now are being controlled or reversed—diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia are preceded by a long, steady decline in mental faculties, including memory function. According to Eric Braverman, MD, an expert on brain function, "It is so sad when children bring 65-year-old parents to me who are so far gone mentally. If only I had seen these patients [while they were] in their early 50s, much heartbreak could have been avoided. Whole communities used to be wiped out by storms before the advent of radar, satellites, and sophisticated forecasting models. There's no reason for future seniors to be deprived of vitality prematurely when we know what can be done 15 or 20 years prior to age 70. I have seen many patients experience a complete reversal of memory loss when it is diagnosed and treated in its early stages. I have also treated patients with advanced dementia who have, on rare occasions, experienced a return of speech and memory function." While age is the primary risk factor for dementia, recent studies have suggested that regular administration of memory tests can identify non-demented persons at greater or lesser risk for conversions to frank dementia.4 Tests such as the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMSIII) can be given in a primary care setting to quantify the decline toward Alzheimer's. Although these tests take upwards of an hour to administer, their results provide a comprehensive assessment for baseline values and treatment protocols, and the tests are far more effective than the MMSE for early identification of cognitive impairment.5 The "Cholesterol Test" for Brain FunctionAnother test can now be used for an easier early assessment of memory function. Dr. Braverman and other doctors (see sidebar on p. 52, "Sources of P300 Testing") use brainwave testing in a primary care setting as an early-warning signal of memory decline. Such tests are noninvasive and can be administered in 10 minutes using electrodes similar to those used in an EKG. As part of a quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) test, the P300 wave shows a patient's reaction time to an audio tone. Normal response is 300 milliseconds (ms) plus the patient's age. So a 40-year-old patient should react to a sound 340 ms after he hears it. An extensive study conducted by Dr. Braverman with more than 1,500 of his patients correlated age with P300 readings and has shown that readings in excess of 400 ms would correlate to a chronological age in excess of 100, which are typical of patients suffering dementia. The same study reviewed age-related P300 values with MMSE and WMSIII scores to correlate the P300 readings with actual memory impairment.5 Other studies have confirmed the correlation between P300 readings and age.6-8 How can this knowledge be used in a clinical setting? In cardiology, an established protocol exists for heart and vascular health assessment: electrocardiogram (EKG), echocardiogram, stress test, and blood analysis, with cholesterol levels as an early marker for future disease. A parallel can be drawn for the assessment of brain function: QEEG, attention, intelligence quotient (IQ), memory, and psychological testing, with the P300 reading as an early marker for future cognitive impairment. "I consider the P300 to be the cholesterol test for the brain," says Braverman. Other doctors recognize the value of P300 as an early diagnostic tool. "At a time when the US population is aging, the electrophysiological findings [of the study] bode well as a valuable prognostic tool for brain impairment," says Ernest Noble, MD, PhD, professor of psychiatry at UCLA and former director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), a division of the National Institutes of Health. "The use of quantitative EEG measures is a promising technique to assess memory and other cognitive functions," adds Orrin Devinsky, MD, professor of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine. If a 50-year-old patient has a P300 reading of 370 ms, that would indicate his brain is functioning as though he were 70 years old, and he would likely exhibit cognitive declines consistent with that advanced age. In such cases, the WMSIII should be administered and additional tests of attention and IQ should be ordered to quantify such declines. Test results would be used as a baseline for future assessments after treatments are implemented. Just as a cholesterol test is instructive when evaluating future cardiovascular health, the P300 is an early-warning signal for cognitive impairment.9 The value of the P300 is perhaps best summarized by John Polich, PhD, associate professor of neuropharmacology at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA: "It's a better cornerstone than anything available today for Alzheimer's early detection." P300 Component of Event-Related Potential as a Function of Age* Normal Brain Aged Brain P300 Latency is 320 ms and voltage is 10.03dV Prolonged latency, decreased amplitude.P300 Latency is 380 ms and voltage is 0.51dV *Note: P300 max occurs at bright yellow peak at PZ on left, and red peak at CZ on right. Circles represent 10/24 electrode placement. Function Follows FormThe study of the brain over two millennia has resulted in an entire body of knowledge related to anatomy, physiology, and psychology. Much is now understood about the four lobe pairs, each of which has a primary neurotransmitter (biochemical) that initiates brain activity, a primary function associated with it, a dominant brainwave, and dominant psychological traits. The frontal lobes, where dopamine provides energy, generates beta waves and controls thought. The temporal lobes, where gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) provides calm, generates theta waves and controls hearing. The parietal lobes, where acetylcholine provides brain speed, generates alpha waves and controls memory. The occipital lobes, where serotonin provides restorative ability, generates delta waves and controls sight. As for psychological temperaments, strategic thinkers would be dominated by their frontal lobes, traditionalists would be dominated by their temporal lobes, idealists would be dominated by their parietal lobes, and artisans would be dominated by their occipital lobes. The brain is very "plastic" by nature, with functions shared somewhat by all lobes. The cognitive functions of IQ, attention, and memory are subdivided into four types of each, related primarily to a specific lobe pair. So abstract, emotional, creative, and perceptual IQs are associated with the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, respectively, and consistency, commission, omission, and reaction time measures of attention can be similarly associated. When it comes to memory, primary function resides in the parietal lobes, where immediate, or short-term, memory supports three other types of memory—working, verbal, and visual—that can are associated with the frontal, temporal, and occipital lobes, respectively. Why is this important? The initial stages of memory decline manifest problems associated with immediate memory. Assessing this earlier, starting at age 40, affords an opportunity to intervene as soon as a deficiency becomes apparent, when better outcomes can be achieved. Holistic Memory AssessmentMedical conditions rarely exist or are treated effectively in a vacuum. Individual symptoms such as irritable bowel, palpitations, and clammy hands could be addressed with multiple prescriptions from multiple physicians in multiple locations—or one enlightened physician in one office could treat the underlying anxiety responsible for them all. The same holds true with memory. Numerous illnesses, such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and diabetes, affect cognitive function.10-12 Addictions to alcohol, tobacco, and drugs also have been studied for their relation to the brain.13-15 Coronary bypass surgery and the menstrual cycle affect cognition.16,17 A temporary anxious moment could cause a "tip-of-the-tongue" short-term memory loss. The list continues: toxic metal poisoning, menopause, posttraumatic stress, head injuries, chronic fatigue, anemia, kidney failure, pulmonary disease—all affect brain function and thus memory.18-21 A comprehensive health assessment would identify contributing factors to memory impairment and would provide the necessary information for a global treatment plan. Such an assessment can be administered in the primary care setting, and would include: Testing of the four types of attention, using a simple personal computer IQ evaluation using standardized written tests Psychiatric assessment, using a standardized true/false exam Ultrasound to assess carotid arteries Blood testing for toxic metal, amino acid, and vitamin levels Patient history Diet and lifestyle review.

The basic FastCap Pro model has no wheels and comes with one continuous 64-inch wing with a metric or imperial scale and a flip stop. The rest of the stands have four wheels for better mobility, and include a variety of accessories.
Many carpenters make their own saw stands, which they can tailor exactly to the work they do. These stands are their workbenches, and because the stands are wooden, users can nail or screw their accessories anywhere.
The concept of the Trojan Workcenter is simple: Two pairs of collapsible legs firmly clamp to a 2-by rail, which you supply; there's an MDF saw table and two adjustable support rollers that clamp to the top of the rail.
According to the specs, the Ridgid AC9945 Miter Saw Utility Vehicle weighs just 57 pounds and extends to an overall length of about 9 1/2 feet.
This station is designed to pair with the Kapex saw that many high-end finish carpenters like to use. The two extension wings give continuous support and provide extra work surface that is ideal for trim work, and simple flip stops allow repetitive cuts.
Made of aluminum, the 35-pound DWX723 folds into a slender, 6-foot-long package that totes easily and doesn't crowd a pickup bed. Setup is a simple matter of squeezing release levers and swinging out the legs before securing the saw.
This stand won a Editors' Choice Award from Tools of the Trade magazine in 2002 because it unfolded in a minute to become a long and sturdy 18-inch-wide stand, and it had an adjustable deck height to accommodate almost any saw.
In a recent JLC Tools & Equipment forum, several contributors, including Connecticut remodeler Phil Herzegovitch, said they liked Ryobi's A18MS01 miter-saw stand. Herzegovitch has now been using two of these stands for more than five years.

Weekend box office: 'Wreck-It Ralph' wrecks it
The animated film's retro wit scores big with audiences
Disney's homage to old school video games ruled the North American box office this weekend, earning more than four times the amount of last weekend's #1 film. In per screen averages, Paramount's "Flight" also soared, setting the high expectations for the upcoming rollout of some of the year's most anticipated films.
"Wreck-It Ralph" won rave reviews from many critics and a High Score at the box office with $49.1M in ticket sales (at 3,752 theaters). The #2 film, "Flight," with Denzel Washington, appealed to older audiences, earning $25M (at only 1,884 theaters). In its fourth week, the highly regarded "Argo" moved to #3, adding $10.2M (at 2,774 theaters) to its now $75.8 domestic gross while Universal's martial arts epic, "The Man with the Iron Fists," with Russell Crowe, performed lower than expected. The #4 film brought in only $8.2M (at 1,868 theaters). In its fifth week, "Taken 2" managed to inch its way back up to the top half of the list, earning $6M (at 2,639 theaters) for a domestic total of $125.6M.
The prestigious "Cloud Atlas" fell to #6 in its second week, bringing in only $5.2M (at 2,013 theaters) despite its star power, while "Hotel Transylvania" slipped to #7 in its first weekend after Halloween, adding $4.5M (at 2,922 theaters) for a domestic gross of $137.5M. Fans of the #8 film, "Paranormal Activity 4" also dropped off, with $4.3M (at 3,006 theaters) while "Here Comes the Boom," at #9, earned $3.6M (at 2,314 theaters). Finally, at #10, "Silent Hill: Revelation 3D" only managed to scare up $3.3M in ticket sales (at 2,933 theaters).
Two prominent men are getting ready to make their mark on next weekend's box office. Bond, James Bond in "Skyfall," which is already approaching a record-setting $300M in international markets, and Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln." The much anticipated film starring Daniel Day-Lewis as our country's 16th President will open in limited release, but may be just the ticket for disgruntled voters after this week's hard-fought election.

TEAMS: Washington Redskins, Seattle Seahawks
TEAMS: Washington Redskins, Seattle Seahawks
Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon was asked whether he thinks he'll be able to take advantage of Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner who's coming off a four-game suspension for performance enhancing drugs."I couldn't even tell you his first name, really, so I couldn't tell you if he's going to be rusty or not," Garcon said, per USA Today Sports.Redskins receiver Leonard Hankerson chimed in and said they're not worried about the Seahawks' cornerbacks."If he hasn't been working during the time off, we'll take advantage of that."We're not worried about what they've got going on over there. We have a quality group of guys who can all go out and make plays. We can't make this bigger than it is. They have a great defense. If we have all 11 guys playing on the same page, it'll be hard to stop us."

This conference aims to provide a forum for researchers, scientists and engineers from different countries worldwide, who are actively involved in the research on nanoscience and nanotechnology, in particular on carbon-based nanomaterials and their device applications such as biological and chemical sensing, energy conversion and harvesting, electronic and photonic applications, catalysis, electrochemistry, and simulations, to disseminate their latest research results and development achievements. In addition to the exciting scientific and technological themes, the conference offers a platform to promote and encourage interaction among researchers for cross-fertilization of ideas and collaboration. The program will consist of a series of invited, contributed oral, and poster presentations. To enhance the interaction with poster presenters, they will also give a short introduction (3 min) to advertise their work. In addition, a panel discussion will be held to promote the interaction among scientists and researchers, including discussions on new research directions for carbon-based nano-materials and devices, summary of the current state of the art and future barriers, and projections of future frontiers.
- Synthesis of carbon-based nanomaterials: carbon nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, graphene, nanodiamonds, carbon-based thin films and molecules, etc.
- Characterization and processing of carbon-based nanomaterials: surface and interface modification, functionalization, assembly and patterning, etc.
- Devices and Applications of carbon-based nanomaterials: biological and chemical sensing, energy conversion and harvesting, electronic and photonic applications, catalysis, electrochemistry etc.
- Multiscale modeling and computation in the above areas.
Future looks bright for carbon nanotube solar cells
Light from the sun creates charges in an ultrathinfilm of carbon nanotubes (blue), which are extracted by fullerene C60 (brown) in this schematic of the groundbreaking proof-of-concept solar cell with greater than 1 percent efficiency.
In an approach that could challenge silicon as the predominant photovoltaic cell material, University of Wisconsin-Madison materials engineers have developed an inexpensive solar cell that exploits carbon nanotubes to absorb and convert energy from the sun.
Graphene 2014
Toulouse (France) will host the 4th edition of Graphene Conference series, the largest European Event in Graphene, from the 6th until the 9th of May 2014 at Centre de Congres Pierre Baudis.Monday, March 11, 2013
A Plenary session with internationally renowned speakers, extensive thematic workshops in parallel, an important industrial exhibition carried out with the latest Graphene nanotrends for the future and a brokerage event will be some of the features of this event.

Carbonhagen 2013 august 19-20
Dear friends and colleagues,
We are happy to announce the 2013 edition of Carbonhagen,
the fourth Nordic symposium on carbon nanomaterials, which is to be
held in Copenhagen, August 19-20. While adhering to our motto,
"Maximising the carbon footprint",
as much as ever, we this year welcome also reports on other 2D
materials such as MoS2, hBN etc, as well as zero and one dimensional
derivations thereof (tubes, scrolls, particles). The homepage is online
with practical information, and will be updated continuously, as
abstracts and talks arrive in our mailbox.
The early list of confirmed speakers suggests that you will
experience an up-to-date blend of deep scientific insights,
cutting edge technology and fresh results:
· Ernie Hill (University of Manchester, UK)
· Antonio Castro Neto (Graphene Research Center, SG)
· Herre van der Zant (Delft University, NL)
· Mikhael Katsnelson (Radboud University of Nijmegen, NL)
· Alexander Balatsky (Los Alamos Nat. Lab. US; Nordita, SE)
· George Duesberg (Trinity College Dublin, IR)
· Thomas Michely (University of Cologne, DE)
· Xinliang Feng (Max Planck University, DE)
· Daniel Neumaier (AMO GmbH, DE)
· Ursel Bangert (University of Manchester, UK)
Many abstracts will be uploaded in the following weeks.
About this years meeting:
Participant limit. Noting the significant growth rate of roughly
25% per year, will this year keep a limit to the participant number
to 150 to make it easier to meet and find people, and to keep the
meeting intimate and focused. SO, please do not be late - we
could run out even before the registration deadline expires.
Zero-fee option. As always we have a zero-fee option for
students and researchers lacking funding options, as well
as regular payment options for the rest.
Breaking news. Following the "Breaking News" success of
CBH2012, we this year have two breaking news sessions.
We think it is great to have "lab-fresh" results presented at
the meeting. The breaking news sessions will be booked as
close to the meeting as we can.
Presentations, posters, prizes and deadlines
Talks. We are planning to have about 2 keynote talks (40 min),
10-11 invited talks (30 min) and 12-13 contributed (15 min) talks.
This is likely to change, as we will continue to work on making the
strongest possible programme. Oral and poster abstracts submitted
before deadline will be published on the website and in the printed
Posters. The poster session is a pivotal event, and we will strive to
make the prizes, the exposure and the
possibility of interaction as attractive as possible. IN CONTRAST to
most meetings and conferences we already book many of the
contributed talks before the deadline, so if you are interested in
giving a talk, we recommend contacting us early to propose your
talk: email@example.com.
Exhibitors and sponsors. CBH is an excellent opportunity for
companies and researchers to meet, and we will this year
host a presentation session early in the meeting, where sponsors
and exhibitors can address the audience and introduce their
services or products. Please contact Kasper Nørgaard
(firstname.lastname@example.com) if you are interested in hearing about what
CBH can offer in terms of sponsorships and exhibition.
Abstract submission (posters): August 8, 2013.
Abstract submission (talks): August 1, 2013.
Registration: August 1 (or until the limit of 150 participants is reached)
For questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us at
Greetings from the organising committee:
· Peter Bøggild (Tech. Univ. Denmark)
· Bo Wegge Laursen (Univ. Copenhagen)
· Kasper Nørgaard (Univ. Copenhagen)
· Antti-Pekka Jauho (Tech. Univ. Denmark)
· Liv Hornekær (Århus University)
· Mette Lund Meisner (Tech. Univ. Denmark)

WASHINGTON (AP) — District of Columbia police have made an arrest in the killing of a woman earlier this week.
Police on Saturday announced that 51-year-old Kevin McDarin Johnson had been arrested in the strangulation death of Detra Martin.
Police say the 48-year-old Martin was found unconscious Thursday night inside a home in the 800 block of Southern Avenue in southeast Washington. She was determined to have been strangled to death.
Johnson was arrested Friday evening.
A police spokesman did not immediately know the relationship between Martin and Johnson, and it wasn't immediately clear if Johnson had a lawyer.

why "more"?Status: New Idea
by kabcwheels
Status: New Idea
I have the Nook Simple Touch and after just a few pages of looking at books, I get the "more" selector. Why is this? It would seem obvious since I select the down arrow to get to the next page of items that yes, I do want to see more. Can you please fix this in the next update? It's very annoying.

Venue Review: Pie In The Sky Pizza
The Charlotte Observer
320 South Tryon St., Suite 109 inside the Latta Arcade along S. Tryon near W. Third Street. 704-333-4015.
HOURS: 11 a.m.- 3 p.m. weekdays. Closed Saturday and Sunday, except for Sundays when Panthers have a home game. Delivery available daily in the uptown area until 9 p.m. Beginning in January, open from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. weekdays with delivery until 9 p.m. daily. Catering and delivery available on Saturdays and Sundays.
PRICES: $2.50 (pizza slice) -$17.00 (white pizza). Combo pizza meal (2 slices and a drink) beginning at $5.50.
CREDIT: All major.
My slices of vegetarian and pepperoni with salami and mushrooms pizza barely fit into the cardboard carryout boxes used at Pie in the Sky. While the slices of pizza are uber-large in size (and taste), Pie in the Sky's prices are anything but. That makes this New York pizza joint located in uptown's Latta Arcade worthy of a drop-in.
Actually, dropping in is about the only option at Pie in the Sky as the place is not much bigger than some walk-in closets. But for those who don't want to schlep food back to the office, if you're quick you might snag one of the tables lining Latta's inside corridor. We were so fortunate, and thus got to watch the lunchtime crowd stroll by, and we also noticed the Pie in the Sky pizza makers come to the front door a time or two.
I don't think they were looking for potential customers so much as they were looking for a cool breeze since it was plenty toasty in their shop. But if you've got to be in a confined space, best to be in one where the air is perfumed with the aroma of yeast, tomato sauce and hot sauce.
Hot sauce you say? Yep, that smell came courtesy of the Buffalo chicken pizza. Pie offers 12 pizzas by the slice, and the buffalo chicken with its diced white meat (which was held in place by just enough) was one of the offerings.
So were the vegetarian (the banana peppers are what made this pizza shine) and a pepperoni pizza featuring diced salami and mushrooms. Not only did the salami add a pleasant saltiness, I loved the way its juices mingled with the cheese and tomato sauce. The best way to enjoy the edge of the pizza crust (which was both chewy and a little crisp thanks to the blistering it received in the oven) was to dip it in the semithick marinara that comes with the stromboli.
Speaking of which, the stromboli reminded me of one of those pull-apart loaves of bread, as the pizza dough used to make it had a soft texture. There were slits in the top, which meant some of the gooey cheese and sauce bubbled through. We filled our stromboli with sausage, mushrooms and black olives. One last note: The stromboli takes 20 minutes to cook, so if you decide to try one, call in the order ahead.
Pie in the Sky's motto is "striving for the perfect pizza everyday." I appreciated the effort - almost as much as I appreciated the stromboli.
Pie in the Sky's motto is 'striving for the perfect pizza everyday.' I appreciated the effort - almost as much as I appreciated the stromboli.(Full review)
great pizza spot in latta - way better than the chains.
also, to the above: how do you say average and then rate 1/4 stars? that's below average. wake up!
This is one of the restaurants I miss most from when I worked uptown. Out the door for under 6 bucks is always a plus for two pepperoni slices and a drink. Libretto's pizza may be better, but will cost substantially more. Sbarro is gone. Fuel Pizza is mediocre on their best day. I think Pie in the Sky is a tasty, reasonably priced, local uptown lunch option when in the mood for pizza.

Selling Life Insurance Policies To Third Parties A Growing Concern
Bloomfield Hills, MI (Law Firm Newswire) July 1, 2013 – Some life insurance policyholders are selling their policies to fund long-term care, but at what ultimate cost?
Bills in numerous states, including California, Florida, New York, Kentucky, Maine, Louisiana and New Jersey, are allowing elderly residents to sell their life insurance policies to pay for custodial health care.
"For anyone concerned about their long-term care, selling off their life insurance is not their only option," commented Michigan elder law attorney Christopher J. Berry. "Long-term care insurance is designed specifically to ensure that no one needs to borrow from the future, or their children's inheritance, to be safe and cared for in their later years."
While state lawmakers backing the bills believe financing long-term care with life insurance policies might save the Medicaid system money, elder care advocates are concerned that this is just another way seniors are being convinced to pay out of their own pocket when a system is in place to help them.
The bills are part of a new push toward "life settlements;" a life insurance policyholder can cash in their policy at a discount, and the new buyer makes their premiums and then later collects their death benefit.
"What policyholders do not usually take into consideration," said Berry, "is that the third-party buyer typically takes a huge chunk of value from the policy – as much as 45 percent, in some cases."
In Texas, Gov. Rick Perry has signed a new law which allows Texas Medicaid officials the right to inform individuals who are applying for Medicaid assistance that they are allowed to sell their life-insurance policies to fund their long-term care. Opting to do so will not negate their eligibility for Medicaid later, when those funds run out.
If any individual chooses to sell their insurance policy to a third party, the fund typically must be placed in an irrevocable bank account so that the funds will solely be used to meet long-term care bills. While life insurance owners were not previously prohibited from selling their policies, the new laws are designed to both regulate and publicize the practice. Most policy holders are above the poverty level and not yet eligible for Medicaid, but do not have the funds in place to pay for needed long-term care.
Medicaid is a health program run jointly by each state with federal oversight for individuals below a standard poverty level, typically with less than $2,000 in assets.

An Interesting Trade Ahead of June 28
Alexander is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
At the end of the day, investing is about maximizing returns, although there are multiple components to this. Things like managing risk, identifying opportunities, and knowing when to cut your losses are all important, but another factor comes into play after you realize a return. And that's taxes.
A present situation
Investors should be familiar with the concept of capital gains and capital losses and that losses can be deducted against gains in most situations. Looking at shares of BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY) over the past few months, many investors have bought their shares above the $14.44 share price as of the close on Jun. 14. First of all, the losses on these shares are unrealized (assuming they are still being held), meaning they will not be used to reduce your tax burden by lowering your realized capital gains.
Now someone probably just thought something like: "I'll sell my shares, realize the loss, and rebuy the shares the same day." Not so fast. The IRS has already created a rule to manage this practice. The wash sale rule disallows the loss if "substantially identical securities" are bought within thirty days and the same stock would fall under this category.
But if you are a BlackBerry investor who owns shares above the current market value, there is a way to both hold your shares through the Q1 earnings release on June 28 and realize your tax loss if earnings meet or miss expectations. SmartMoney refers to it as a "doubling up" strategy whereby you double your holding of the stock (in this case BlackBerry) and then sell half of your shares more than thirty days after your "doubling up" purchase. Due to the "first in, first out" tax planning common among investors, the loss will not be disallowed under the wash sale rule.
Doubling your risk
Of course by owning twice as many shares on June 28, you are doubling your risk for loss as well as for gain. Investors who cannot afford a loss of this amount should avoid this strategy. But for investors who can tolerate this risk, let's look at the three main potential scenarios from June 28:
1. Sales of BlackBerry 10 devices fail to live up to expectations or device sales meet expectations but subscriber numbers collapse. A wave of selling begins with a possible bear raid. Shares drop into at least the $12 range where there has been significant support.
2. Sales of BlackBerry 10 devices and subscriber numbers are largely in line with expectations. Analysts begin to speculate on Q2 results and stock stock gives a "meh" reaction similar to the Q4 earnings release.
3. Sales of BlackBerry 10 devices blow away expectations and subscriber numbers are not enough to hold back a buying wave. The massive short interest in BlackBerry drives shares into the upper teens range and possibly higher.
Other squeezes
At this point, analysts cannot agree on any of these scenarios but, due to this disagreement, assigning random chance to each gives each a 1 in 3 possibility of happening. There may be a little more weighting toward the bull side due to positive notes by Societe Generale and Wells Fargo last week, but if anything that would strengthen the cause to play a "double up" on BlackBerry shares.
Those playing a "double up" would see success in two of the listed three scenarios. A "meh" reaction would allow them to realize their capital losses and a short squeeze would outweigh any tax benefits to realizing the losses by providing large gains in the share price.
A similar strategy could have been used for Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) since many shareholders probably owned shares at levels above the pre-squeeze share price. A proper execution of a "double up" would have allowed shareholders to benefit twice as much from the resulting short squeeze knowing that if Netflix's results only met expectations they could claim their capital loss in thirty days.
But this strategy is not useful for all stocks with a possible short squeeze ahead. When Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) went on its short squeeze run, hardly any of the pre-squeeze shareholders had an unrealized capital loss that could be claimed. "Doubling up" on Tesla would only have increased their risk beyond the level they originally planned.
BlackBerry, Netflix, and Tesla all have one or more products that are critical to future success in the eyes of investors. The BB10 phones are what BlackBerry investors will be watching on June 28 to see sales rates and acceptance levels. Like BlackBerry investors watching phone sales, Netflix investors are watching the popularity of the company's Internet TV service. After a price change debacle, Netflix is regaining interest among investors, and on two separate occasions these bullish investors benefited from short squeezes on the stock, causing it to rise from the double digit range to above $200 a share today.
When investors think of a company with a lot riding on a single product, Tesla Motors has to be near the top of the list. Investors were looking for both an increase in production numbers and a reduction in production costs. The reduction in production costs was largely expected, but when the automaker beat on earnings and revenue, shorts were squeezed moving the stock from the $50 range all the way to a high of nearly $115 before settling back at around $100.
In both the Netflix and Tesla situations, investors "doubling up" would have won (although, as previously discussed, not many Tesla investors were in the red at the time) as the short squeeze scenario played out. But results could easily have gone the other way, leaving "doubling up" investors holding the bag. And that is an important consideration. "Doubling up" is another way to double both risk and reward. Investors should not "double up" when they cannot handle the downside risk because the results of both Tesla and Netflix could just as easily have turned those "double ups" into double losses.
Using "double up"
"Doubling up" allows investors to realize capital losses that would otherwise be treated as wash sales for tax purposes. In a wash sale, the loss is still out there to be claimed but is not part of realized gains/losses and only adds to the basis of the repurchase. If investors are considering using a "double up" on a stock such as BlackBerry they need to be sure they meet the ideal criteria: They a) can handle the added risk of owning twice the number of shares, b) they have an unrealized capital loss on the stock, and c) they are neutral to positive on shares in the near-term. Investors meeting all three of these criteria may want to consider this strategy considering both the risks and rewards.

Hi everybody
I've looked in the forum and noticed that several people have my same problem.
I've got a Sony Vaio with core duo , 4gb of ram and a firewire 410 connected via firewire and powered by external power supply.
Let me make it clear: when I connect the soundcard to my desktop it works fine and powered by firewire. Whe I plug it to my Vaio, when I play sounds with my keyboard it comes out distorted.
Is there a solution or shall I sell this card?
P.s: the firewire device on the notebook is a OHCI 1394 Texas Instruments compatible controller

Here is what The WB is saying about season 2:
The producing team of Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg recruited a new group of eight women who are academically impaired and eight men who are brilliant but socially challenged. The second installment will remain true to the series' first season format, pairing up couples for a chance to win a $250,000 grand prize.
This time, however, each mismatched pair competes in brand new activities designed to test intellect, fashion savvy and social skills. The guys are assigned to makeover a room, while the girls do their best to assemble a computer. There's a karaoke session for the men, and a political debate for the ladies. The girls also do a makeover on the guys, then let them test out their new looks during a session of speed-dating. Finally, the whole group travels to Las Vegas for a highly unusual game of strip-poker.
During these competitions, the geek tries to pass his brains on to the beauty, while the beauty tries to turn the geek into a hottie.
Richard and Lauren from Season 1 of Beauty & The Geek embarked on a nationwide search for the geekiest guys and ditziest girls for the second season of the hit "social experiment."
Check out some of the people they encountered along the way, and stay tuned for the season premiere of Beauty & The Geek, Thursday, January 12th, 9/8c!

True it's name, the Rhino has all the tools that will provide you with an amazingly high level of comfort and ease, thanks to its powerful engine, Ultramatic transmission and long-travel four-wheel independent suspension.

Bears, Grizzlies to meet on Altitude
BY: Jon Kasper, Big Sky media relations
OGDEN, Utah -- Can Montana become the first home team to win this season on the Altitude Sports & Entertainment Big Sky Conference Game of the Week?
Find out Sunday, as the Northern Colorado Bears enter Dahlberg Arena looking for a sweep of their Montana road swing.
Northern Colorado upended Montana State 65-55 in Bozeman on Thursday to move to 4-3 in the league. Montana, winners on the road over Eastern Washington on Wednesday, is also 4-3 in league.
So far, the road teams have won the first three contests in the 2009 Game of the Week series.
Sunday's coverage begins at 2 p.m. Mountain on Altitude Sports & Entertainment and Comcast Sports Net Northwest. Phil Buck will call the game with former UM player Mat Seidensticker handling color commentary.
Altitude is available on DirecTV channel 681, Dish Network channel 410, and many cable outlets throughout a 10-state area, including Montana, Utah, Idaho and Colorado. Comcast Sports Net Northwest is available in the Portland, Ore., area. It will air tape-delay again on Altitude starting Monday morning at 4 a.m. Mountain, and again at 1 p.m. Mountain.
Montana, which is 8-1 at home this season, is led by guard Anthony Johnson. The junior college transfer has scored in double figures in eight straight games, and is averaging a league-best 22.6 points per game in conference play.
Northern Colorado, winners of three of its last four games, is led by sophomore guard Devon Beitzel, who averages 12.9 points per game. Senior forward Jabril Banks averages 12.8 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.
Montana is 4-0 against Northern Colorado since the Bears joined
the Big Sky in 2006-07.
This is the fourth of nine Big Sky men's basketball games that will be televised this season on Altitude. Next Sunday league-leading Portland State battles Montana State in Bozeman.
Altitude will also televise the Big Sky Conference men's semifinals on Tuesday, March 10, as well as the Big Sky women's championship on Saturday, March 14.
