Catalan separatists express solidarity with Gibraltar
By Miles Johnson in Madrid, Financial Times, Aug. 13, 2013
The largest separatist party of Catalonia has written to the chief minister of Gibraltar to express its "solidarity" against the "bullying and harassment" of the Spanish government in a move likely to anger Madrid as it maintains a robust stance on the British overseas territory.
The letter sent to Fabian Picardo, Gibraltan chief minister, by Esquerra Republicana (ERC), the second-largest party in Catalonia, said it "deplore[d] the methods used by Spanish power" in the conflict over Gibraltar, and accused the Spanish government of using the conflict as a smoke screen to distract from an ongoing party financing scandal.
Esquerra Republicana's intervention in the conflict is likely to anger Spain's centre right government, which staunchly opposes Catalan separatism and vigorously defends what it views as the territorial integrity of Spain, at times including the country's claims over Gibraltar.
Alfred Bosch, the leader of ERC in the Spanish parliament, wrote in the letter, drafted in English and Catalan: "We are convinced that the only solution to the issue of the Rock, as with the issue of Catalonia, is through dialogue, suffrage and the principle of self-determination. No question should be handled without consulting the people concerned".
The Spanish government, which in recent weeks has ramped up diplomatic tensions with the UK after establishing lengthy checkpoints at the Gibraltan border, has argued that its stricter policing of the crossing is an attempt to stop smuggling, and is in line with European rules.
The latest sparring over Gibraltar comes at a time when Mr Rajoy's Popular party has been dogged by allegations from its former treasurer that it ran an illegal financing scheme for two decades, and that senior figures including Mr Rajoy himself received payments from a slush fund.
Mr Rajoy and other accused members of his party have vigorously denied the allegations, which are currently being examined in court in Madrid.

How can we transmit new Paradigms to students attending compusory education in our public traditional schools?
The Studio school is a challenging and right way of coping with changes in learning today. Kids feel more free and self confident.
On the contrary, in most of our traditional schools students think they are wasting their time, get bored and lazy. Could NLP strategies help to develop responsability in them and an outcome of success?

Oct 4 2011: Thanks Christa for your accurate answer. You are completely right. I teach in a traditional public school and what I would like most is to get a sort of Manual in where I could find a study of the circunstances, conditions and rules that seem to be at the origin of this transformation of students which favor their jumping from apathy to engagement. Project learning by itself is not the answer ( I know), nor teaching methods alone to get all sort of students passionate in learning. There must be something else. Those real-life skills that encourage creativity and their growing as individuals. It is needed a model in which the complete itinerary is shown step by step to make students and teachers feel the world is at their fingerprints!

Scallops with Grapefruit and Bacon
Photo: Lucy Schaeffer
More From Food & Wine
Recipe Time
35 Minutes
- 1 (large) grapefruit
- 3 ounces slab bacon, cut into 1-by- 1/4-inch matchsticks
- 1 1/4 pounds (about 20) sea scallops
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup onion, minced
- 1/2 cup Sauvignon Blanc
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Using a sharp knife, peel the grapefruit, removing all of the bitter white pith. Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the sections. Squeeze the juice from the membrane into another bowl; you should have about 3 tablespoons of juice.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat until crisp, 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer it to a small plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.
- Season the scallops with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until browned, 3 minutes. Turn the scallops, add the onion and cook over moderate heat until the scallops are just cooked through, 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the wine and grapefruit juice to the skillet and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Cook, scraping up any browned bits. Strain the liquid into a heatproof cup, then return it to the skillet. Add the capers and butter and cook, shaking the pan, until the sauce is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the scallops and any juices to the skillet; turn to coat them with the sauce. Add the grapefruit sections and bacon and serve right away.

European Commission to settle half its cartel investigations in 2013
In a speech delivered at the College of Europe in Bruges on 14 January 2013, Joaquín Almunia, Vice-President of the European Commission, and Commissioner responsible for Competition, stated that the Commission hopes to settle around half of its outstanding cartel investigations in 2013, using the settlement procedure instituted in July 2008. To date, the European Commission has settled six cartel cases under the 2008 settlement procedure, involving numerous companies. One of the settlements was a "hybrid" case, where not all parties involved pursued settlement. Going forward, many more settlements are to be expected, making it essential for companies under investigation by the Commission to understand the settlement procedure to ensure they are fully prepared to make an informed choice if they are invited to enter into settlement discussions.

Latex Pillows: Any Experience?
Recently I've been suffering from a nighttime cough that comes on after about 30 minutes after hitting the sack. My fiancee thinks it might be dust mites in my beloved down pillow which I've had for a couple years. Another green blog recently posted about latex pillows which are naturally resistant to common germs, dust mites, mildew and mold. Has anyone had any experience with these?
I am an incredibly picky when it comes to my pillows. Once I find one I like (generally a soft down), I'll keep it for years. Ecofabulou's blog post on Nature's Rest latex pillows has me seriously intrigued by this relatively pricey pillow, but I want to ensure it would be comfortable and address my recent coughing issues.
Does anyone have any experience with natural latex pillows? Or even ways to put night coughing...er...to bed?
6 Comments
Yes, I have one and it is fantastic! I have not had any problems with waking up in the night unable to breathe or feeling stuff up in the morning. They are also extremely comfortable and I have had no more neck pain since switching to one.
If you are interested we bought ours from Sleep country and we were allowed to return it as long as the plastic was not taken off. So we had the opportunity to try them and return them if they were not suitable.
The other great thing about the pillow is that you can get a 5 year warrenty with it if you buy the pillow protector.
Good luck and I hope this helped
Pennyk, that's a great recommendation, thank you!
Before getting this pillow did you have problems breathing / stuffy?
Thanks for commenting.
If you think your problem is dust mites, I would recommend getting a new pillow of the type you like and a low-allergen case. These fit under your normal pillow case, the good ones are virtually undetectable and VERY helpful.
I, as a person with allergies, would be hesitant about the latex pillow. I had been mildly allergic to dust for years. I got a latex foam bed when I went to graduate school and 3-4 years later had developed significant problems with latex. I had to get rid of the bed, and now can't use rubber bands, eat bananas and kiwi (relatives of latex), be around latex balloons etc. So, I'd stick with what you know.
Yes I have had some problems in the past with waking up all stuffy and sometimes unable to breathe at night. The pillow protector that we bought with our pillows is the kind that the other poster was taking about. They are only $30 (canadian) and we had to buy them with the latex pillow to get the warrenty. They are not noticable at all when you sleep on them. You could always just give the case a try first to see if it helps you, maybe the $30 protecor is all you need. Personally you couldn't pay me enough to part with my new latex pillow
Why buy a new pillow? A breathable allergen-barrier pillow cover costs, like, $6 at any big-box retailer.
My allergies don't include things that live in pillows. However, I've had a polyurethane memory foam pillow from IKEA for a couple of years now. (I'm not sure that there's a huge practical difference between the polyurethane and the natural latex, and it sounds like latex allergies are an issue.)
I never want to go back to regular pillows. I have a firm side-sleeper version, and it's helped with my neck and shoulder issues. I even bring it along on vacation.

Going, going, goes fast
Have they got a deal for you: headlining the Turners prestige auction tomorrow is a 2011 Ferrari California that has not even consumed its first tank of fuel: the odometer reads just 349km.
The car, which is being sold on behalf of a finance company, cost $450,000 new and is expected to sell for $250,000 to $350,000. The California was designed to be an everyday Ferrari, with a two-pedal transmission and folding hardtop but it's also very much a real Ferrari, with a sonorous V8 engine.
Other cars in the prestige auction include a 2002 Aston Martin Vantage cabriolet and a 1969 MGC.
Listen to the MC
The already bewildering array of Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio models is set to expand once again with an MC Stradale version of the cabriolet. The MC Stradale is already regarded as the ultimate version of Maserati's coupe: it's the lightest, fastest model in the lineup and the first to break the 300km/h barrier.
How much of the MC coupe's hard-core character has been transferred into the GranCabrio version is yet to be revealed: full specifications won't be revealed until the Paris Motor Show, which opens this week. Australasian importer Ateco Automotive said the new model was under evaluation for the local market.
Cortina celebrates
Almost forgotten? Spare a thought for the ubiquitous Ford Cortina, which made its debut 50 years ago this week. Ford originally projected sales of 100,000 a year annum but topped 260,000 in the first 12 months.
It was widely regarded as the first real fleet/business car and became a core model for the brand. Cortina was assembled in New Zealand, at Lower Hutt, for a time.
Cortina reached global sales of 4.3 million, although it didn't last as long as you might think: just four generations over 20 years. In 1982 it was replaced by the Sierra in Europe and the Ford/Mazda Telstar/626 in New Zealand. The Sierra was also assembled in New Zealand in estate form from 1984.
Peak power
The high cost of hardware is a major barrier to electric vehicles (EVs) generating serious sales in New Zealand – especially with no government subsidies on offer to early adopting buyers.
However, car company heads such as Holden NZ managing director Jeff Murray still see this country as the "perfect place for this technology".
Eighty percent of New Zealand electricity is generated from renewable resources and the electricity market is open and competitive. About 85% of New Zealand homes have a garage, so home charging infrastructure is not the major issue that it is in some European cities.
Mr Murray also said that with Ministry of Transport figures showing the average mileage of motorists as less than 40km a day, 95% of daily travel needs could be covered by EVs.
Aside from government policy, Mr Murray said the other main obstacle to EV growth was the lack of public charging infrastructure.

Kanye West's ex-girlfriend Amber Rose has confirmed she's pregnant on the red carpet of the MTV Video Music Awards.
REALTED: See more stars at the MTV Video Music Awards
Just like Beyonce revealed she was with child before the award show last year, model Rose and her fiance, Wiz Khalifa, ended speculation with a belly rub on Thursday.
Wearing a skintight lace and mesh black dress, Rose clearly couldn't hide the baby news, and she happily rubbed her stomach for the cameras to end rumors.
RELATED: Stars who love PDA
Khalifa addressed the pregnancy gossip in a recent radio interview but stopped short of confirming his partner was expecting, stating, "You will know when she's pregnant. But it's not the time now for people to start going crazy."
Meanwhile, West was a no-show at the Video Music Awards. He pulled out of an appearance at the event in Los Angeles earlier on Thursday so he could be with his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, in New York, where she is promoting her new fragrance, True Reflection.

Heat, Nuggets continue streaks
UNDATED (AP) — The Miami Heat now possess the second-longest winning streak in NBA history following a comeback win at Boston.
LeBron James drained a long jumper with 10.5 seconds left to give the Heat their 23rd consecutive victory, a 105-103 win over the Celtics. Boston led by 13 with eight minutes remaining before Miami closed on a 22-7 run.
James finished with 37 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds for the Heat. Mario Chalmers shot 4-for-5 from three-point range and had 21 points, while Dwyane (dwayn) Wade added 16 points, seven assists and seven rebounds.
The Heat still need 10 more consecutive wins to tie the league's all-time record of 33, set by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers.
Boston ended an 11-game home winning streak despite Jeff Green's game-high 43 points.
Denver has picked up its 12th straight win. Andre Iguodala (ig-ah-DAH'-lah) converted a three-point play with 7.1 seconds remaining in overtime as the Nuggets escaped Chicago with a 119-118 win over the Bulls.
Wilscon Chandler had a team-high 35 points and nine rebounds for the Nuggets.
In other NBA action, Gerald Green scored 13 of his team-high 20 points in the second quarter of Indiana's 111-90 rout of Cleveland. Tyler Hansbrough added 18 points and 11 rebounds in place of second-leading scorer David West, who missed the game with a sprained lower back suffered in Saturday's game against Philadelphia.
Deron Williams poured in 31 points in just 28 minutes of Brooklyn's 119-82 dismantling of Detroit. Brook Lopez added 18 points and seven rebounds as the Nets dealt the Pistons their ninth straight loss.
Stephen (STEF'-ehn) Curry shot 6-for-9 from three-point range while scoring 30 points in Golden State's 93-72 stifling of New Orleans. David Lee added 20 points and 11 rebounds as the Warriors moved nine games over .500.
The 76ers blew a 14-point lead before knocking off Portland 101-100. Jrue (juh-ROO') Holiday scored 27 points and Spencer Hawes added 18 and 13 rebounds in the Sixers' second straight win.
Darren Collison scored 24 points and Dirk Nowitzki chipped in 22 as Dallas topped the Hawks 127-113 in Atlanta. The Mavericks set a season high for points and shot 57 percent, with Collison going 10-for-14.
Gerald Henderson's 27 points and eight assists highlighted Charlotte's 119-114 triumph over Washington. Kemba Walker scored nine of his 18 points in the final three minutes to spark a 12-0 run that sent the Bobcats to just their second victory in 14 games.
No season for Bynum
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — There's a chance Andrew Bynum will never play for the Philadelphia 76ers after the 25-year-old center undergoes season-ending arthroscopic surgery on both knees Tuesday.
Bynum hasn't played since being acquired by the Sixers from the Los Angeles Lakers after last season. He was coming off his best NBA season, averaging career highs with 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds while making his first All-Star team.
Bynum becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Bulldogs top final poll
UNDATED (AP) — Gonzaga (gahn-ZA'-guh) winds up on top in the final Associated Press top-25 men's basketball poll.
The Bulldogs hauled in 45 of 65 first place votes after finishing the season with a 31-2 record and another West Coast Conference title.
No. 2 Louisville gets the remaining 20 votes. Rounding out the top five are Kansas, Indiana and Miami. The second five consist of Duke, Ohio State, Georgetown, Michigan State and Michigan.
Baylor, Stanford, Notre Dame and UConn claim top seeds, top of the pole
UNDATED (AP) — Baylor has claimed the first overall seed in the upcoming women's basketball tournament as the Lady Bears try to become the fourth different school to win consecutive national championships.
Baylor heads the Oklahoma City Region after running its record to 32-1. The lone loss came in November against Stanford, which has drawn the No. 1 seed in the Spokane Region.
Notre Dame is the top seed in the Norfolk Regional, while Big East rival Connecticut grabbed the No. 1 seed in the Bridgeport Region.
Baylor also has finished No. 1 in the final Associated Press women's basketball poll for the second straight year, receiving all 40 first-place votes. The Lady Bears topped the poll for the final 11 weeks.
Notre Dame is second, followed by UConn, Stanford and Duke.
Rangers outlast 'Canes
UNDATED (AP) — The New York Rangers have ended a three-game losing streak with a shootout win over Carolina.
Rick Nash and rookie J.T. Miller provided the shootout tallies while Henrik Lundqvist stop both Hurricane attempts to secure a 3-2 win over Carolina. Lundqvist turned back 29 shots and Derek Stepan (STEP'-ahn) scored in the second period to help the Rangers move into ninth place in the NHL's Eastern Conference, two points behind the Hurricanes.
Carolina is 0-2-1 in its last three games.
Also on ice, Teddy Purcell (PUR'-sul) snapped a 2-2 tie midway through the third period of Tampa Bay's 4-2 win against Philadelphia. Steven Stamkos iced the victory with an empty-netter, his 21st goal of the season.
Goodell: No post-season additions now
PHOENIX (AP) — The NFL will not be adding teams to the playoffs this season, but still is discussing an expanded postseason.
Commissioner Roger Goodell (guh-DEHL') says that the league's competition committee has looked into adding teams to the playoffs, and the topic will be discussed at this week's owners meetings. However, he says any adds won't happen this year.
Currently, twelve of the 32 teams make the playoffs, including all eight division winners.
Goodell also calls it "unacceptable" to ask a college player at the scouting combine any questions about his sexual orientation, as several players have indicated. Goodell says the league will make clear to the team at this week's owners meetings what can and can't be asked of the prospects.
Pats owner: We offered Welker more
PHOENIX (AP) — New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft says his team's contract offer to Wes Welker was better than what the receiver got in Denver. Kraft also says Welker's agent "misrepresented" Welker's market value.
Welker got a two-year, $12 million deal with the Broncos. Kraft says Welker could have received $8 million in the first year of a two-year contract with New England as opposed to $6 million he gets in Denver "and there is no guarantee that he plays the second year there."
Titans dump Hasselbeck
UNDAED (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have released veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, which buys the team some more cap space after they couldn't work out an agreement trimming his $5.5 million salary for 2013. The 37-year old spent the past two seasons with the Titans. He lost his starting job to Jake Locker last season.
Hasselbeck has 34,517 yards passing with 201 touchdowns in his 14-year NFL career.
In other NFL news;
— Free agent tight end Matt Spaeth (SPAYTH) is rejoining the Steelers after two seasons in Chicago. Spaeth had 36 receptions for 275 yards in four years with Pittsburgh before grabbing just 13 passes for the Bears..
— The Bengals have signed middle linebacker Rey Maualuga (mow-ah-LOO'-guh) to a new contract. The Bengals have re-signed four of their defensive players who were eligible for free agency: Maualuga and defensive ends Michael Johnson, Robert Geathers (gathers) and Wallace Gilberry.
— The Atlanta City Council has voted 11-4 to approve a financing plan to build a new pro football stadium in downtown Atlanta. The city will use city hotel-motel tax revenue to cover the $200 million public contribution for the proposed $1 billion, retractable-roof stadium for the Falcons.
— The Dallas Cowboys have re-signed linebacker Ernie Sims to a one-year deal worth a reported $715,000.
— The league has agreed to pay $42 million as part of a settlement with a group of retired players who challenged the league over using their names and images without their permission. The league will use the money to fund a trust over the next eight years that will benefit retired players.
— A federal judge in Pittsburgh has dismissed a lawsuit from people who bought tickets to the February 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas, but were forced to watch it on TV because their seats weren't properly installed for the game. U.S. District Judge David Cercone (sur-KOHN') dismissed the fraud claim saying the four buyers can't prove that the National Football League and the Dallas Cowboys intended to defraud anyone. The judge says the case is a contract dispute but the ticket-holders can't pursue it in federal court because the combined ticket, travel and hotel costs don't exceed $75,000.
Headley to miss opener...Carpenter could be facing end of career
UNDATED (AP) — The San Diego Padres will open the season without their top player.
Third baseman Chase Headley (HEHD'-lee) will miss at least the first two weeks after breaking the tip of his left thumb while sliding into second base on Sunday. Headley led the National League with 115 RBIs last season and paced Padres regulars with 31 homers and a .286 average.
In other major league news, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter realizes his baseball career may be over, saying he wants to return but doesn't think he can. The 37-year-old right-hander made a surprise appearance at spring-training camp Monday and said he's still dealing with numbing and tingling sensations in his pitching hand, arm and shoulder.
Daisuke Matsuzaka (DYS'-kay maht-soo-ZAH'-kah) will not make the Cleveland Indians' opening-day roster. The 32-year old was trying to make a comeback after pitching in just 11 games last season with Boston following elbow reconstruction surgery. He may accept an offer to stay in the club's minor league camp.
Former Oklahoma quarterback killed in plane crash
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Former Oklahoma quarterback Steve Davis was one of two people killed when a small aircraft smashed into a house in South Bend, Ind. on Sunday. He started every game of Barry Switzer's first three seasons as head coach at Oklahoma, piling up a 32-1-1 record with two national championships. Davis' school records for consecutive starts and career victories were surpassed only last season by Landry Jones, who started every game the past three seasons plus most of 2009.
Davis was 60.

TEAMS: New York Mets, Seattle Mariners
According to a tweet from CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, the Mets have quite a bit of dollars left to spend. Heyman says the team is still looking to add an outfielder, a starting pitcher and a bullpen arm. Last week I answered a question about how much the Mets had to spend, and I speculated around $20-25 million. Original Post 12/28 I received a question from Elliot Lowenstein that asks: Why do you keep mentioning that the Mets have $25 million to spend this offseason. I've not seen that mentioned anywhere else and instead I only ready that the Sandy Alderson has little if anything to spend just like in his first two offseasons. I would appreciate a reply. Thanks. Thanks for the question, and apologies for the delay in responding. Lets break it down by comparing last year's payroll figure as compared to where it stands right now. Remember that things could still happen between now and opening day, but for now we can determine and calculate a realistic dollar amount as to what we can or c...

Latin America since the mid-20th century > Latin America at the end of the 20th century > A changing society
Despite the expansion (sometimes impressive, sometimes not) of the middle strata of Latin American society, by the late 20th century, progress toward reducing historically high levels of social inequality was disappointing almost everywhere save in communist Cuba. Also, the poorest countries of western Europe enjoyed greater per capita income than the wealthiest in Latin America. Yet, with regard to such social indicators as literacy and life expectancy, Costa Rica, Cuba, and the nations of the Southern Cone approximated the standards of the industrialized world, and, for Latin America as a whole, the lag was substantially less than in 1900 or 1950.
The rate of population growth, having peaked in the third quarter of the century, fell significantly with wide variations among countries. In parts of northern Latin America, a factor contributing to this decline was emigration to the more prosperous and politically stable United States, where large metropolitan centressuch as New York City, Los Angeles, and Miamiwere home to large and growing Latin American communities. By the beginning of the 21st century, the population of Latin America and the Caribbean was more than 550 million, with about four-fifths of the population residing in urban areas. Latin America also contained two of the world's largest metropolitan areasMexico City and São Paulo. The region's principal cities grew more slowly than intermediate centres; in Venezuela, for example, Maracaibo and Valencia were expanding faster than Caracas. In the cities, where literacy and then access to television were nearly universal, people were exposed more and more quickly to new trends and ideas emanating from the United States or western Europe; to a lesser degree the same forces, and the continuing improvement of road transportation, were also decreasing the isolation of rural Latin Americans.
With social and economic modernization came changes, too, in gender relations. In most of Latin America women achieved full legal equality with men only gradually and usually later than winning the vote. In Argentina, for example, wives gained equal authority with husbands over minor-aged children only after the return of democracy in the 1980s. Traditions of patriarchy remained strong, and Latin American women's groups were more prone than those in the United States or western Europe to exploit the symbolic discourse of motherhood in gaining their objectives. No significant number of women in this predominantly Roman Catholic region took up the cause of women's ordination to the priesthood. As in most of the world, furthermore, equal pay for women remained elusive. Yet women did take advantage of increased educational and employment opportunities to gain more control of their lives. As many women as men were enrolled in secondary education, and the traditional alternatives for those women who chose or were obliged to work outside the homee.g., domestic service and prostitutionhad been supplemented by an array of clerical, professional, and light factory jobs. From the 1960s to the '90s the proportion of women in the general labour force increased substantially. Falling birth rates likewise indicated that women were pursuing new options. The fact that domestic servants were still relatively inexpensive made it easier for middle- and upper-class women to pursue professional careers. Servants, however, were less inclined than they once were to accept their position as permanent; realistically or not, they dreamed of something better and to that extent epitomized a more general yearning for personal and social improvement that posed a challenge for all Latin American nations.
Ethnic minorities also sought greater opportunities and respect from society at large. Afro-Latin Americans increasingly questioned the long-accepted notion that racism did not exist in their countries and that such discrimination as existed was merely class-based; across Latin America, they formed social movements demanding their economic and political rights. In some countries, minority groups formed militant organizations. In Colombia, Afro-Latin Americans obtained rights to special legislative representation (as did Indian communities) in a new constitution in 1991. The peasant uprising in Chiapas, Mexico, was the best-known example of greater militancy among indigenous peoples. Yet even more striking was the appearance of a strong nationwide Indianist movement in Ecuador, which sought not only immediate improvements for Native Americans but also formal recognition that Ecuador was a multiethnic, multicultural nation. By the end of the 20th century, these Ecuadoran indigenous groups had already gained influence in national politics and demanded economic improvements. In 2000 a coup led by indigenous Indian leaders and military members briefly toppled the ruling government, removing the president from power. However, the coup leaders eventually agreed to let Vice President Gustavo Noboa Bejerano ascend to the presidency, which effectively ended the coup. This agreement emerged partly from military opposition of a junta-ruled government and also from the adamant refusal of the United States to accept a new government imposed by unconstitutional means. The last has not been heard from the indigenous movement in Ecuadoror elsewhere in Latin America.

Woodward: Mucho Macho Man scratches, will race in California
By Mike Welsch
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Trainer Kathy Ritvo shrugged her shoulders and said "there's nothing you can do about the weather" during training hours on Saturday morning and several hours later did as expected, scratching Mucho Macho Man from the Grade 1 Woodward due a racetrack turned to a sea of slop by heavy, overnight rains.
Mucho Macho Man, beaten a neck in the 2012 Woodward, was eased over a sloppy track as the 2-5 favorite in his 2013 debut on Jan. 19 in the Sunshine Millions Classic. Ritvo gave Mucho Macho Man nearly five months off following that race before bringing him back to finish third in an overnight stakes at Belmont on June 14 and third again here last month in the Grade 1 Whitney Handicap.
"Naturally I'm disappointed we won't have the chance to run him this afternoon in the Woodward because he had been doing so well coming up to the race," said Ritvo. "And I thought with two races under his belt, the third start would be his best one yet. But what can you do? So we'll just fall back to Plan B and take him to California."
Plan B that Ritvo was referring to will be the Grade 1 Awesome Again Handicap at Santa Anita on Sept. 28.
"We chose the Awesome Again over the Jockey Club Gold Cup because it's at a mile and one-eighth instead of a mile and one-quarter, we already know he likes the surface at Santa Anita and hopefully we can trust the weather a little more out there."
Mucho Macho Man finished second, beaten a half-length by Fort Larned, in the 2012 Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita. Ritvo said Mucho Macho Man will depart for California on or about Sept. 8 and if all goes well in the Awesome Again will remain at Santa Anita until the Breeders' Cup.
I'm grateful Mucho Macho Man is ok. I was worried when I didn't read anywhere why he was scratched last week. That will teach me to check the DRF first !! Take it easy 3M & I'll be watching for you in your next race.
Mmm owners need to switch trainers. She is a hack. Just like Tim ritvo.
MJP I AM A WEST COAST GUY THE BEST RACE HORSES RUN fast with great determination on wet or dry track. CIGAR AND CURLIN. Nuff said
It's about time the East Coast morons woke up to the fact that the best racehorses like a FAST DRY racetrack. Yay, Ritvo!!
I bet MMM will miss the beauty of Fair Hill.
I know MMM hates the slop....and it never rains in southern California...supposedly
Smart move. Now watch Todd point Cross Traffic there. Seriously.
This is to bad for MMM and connections Really thought MMM would have shown his true colors this afternoon. See him in the next one...
If this keeps up, Alpha might have a chance. 3 for 4 at Saratoga with a win in the slop. Don't recall a race falling apart as slowly as this one has over the past week or so. The horses I don't like appreciate slop and the ones I do like have no or little experience on it. Won't get my money.

Sharapova spurred by Wimbledon anniversary
Russia's Maria Sharapova holds the Suzane Lenglen trophy after winning the French tennis Open final match against Romania's Simona Halep at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris on June 7, 2014 - by Miguel Medina
Sharapova was aged just 17 when she sprang one of the great Wimbledon shocks to become the third youngest women's champion after Lottie Dod and Martina Hingis.
If she was a virtual unknown in 2004, the Russian is now the world's most widely-recognised and richest sportswoman, with her net worth said to be $150 million and her annual earnings around $27 million.
Sharapova, 27, has remained a dominant power on the court as well, completing her career Grand Slam of all four major titles by winning the French Open in 2012 and then returning to triumph again in Paris last month.
The prospect of marking the anniversary of her first Grand Slam title with more glory on the lush lawns of south-west London is exactly the motivation Sharapova needs as the ferocious competitor searches for her next challenge following victory at Roland Garros.
"Once I think about it actually, the memory is quite fresh in my mind. I don't think about that victory very often. Just sometimes when I need a little pick me up or when I look back at my achievements," Sharapova told reporters at Wimbledon on Saturday.
"When I do think about it, it seems so fresh and it seems like it almost happened yesterday. It's been 10 years and I'm here, yeah, still competing at a high level and still have the motivation.
"I certainly had that drive when I was 17 years old, and I'm proud that I still have that going into this age group, you call it. Still going out and competing and loving what I do so much."
Asked if she could ever have imagined her career following such a successful path on the day she won at Wimbledon, Sharapova added: "When you win such a major at 17 years old, you have no choice but to try to back that up with another victory, or else you're going to be carrying those expectations from yourself and also from the outside world.
"Winning another one, it wasn't just a one-time success. I think I was ultimately more proud as a teenager to back that up with a win in New York on one of the biggest stages under a lot of pressure.
"That was a big moment through those years. To add three more to that, yeah, I'm very grateful for that."
Sharapova is seeded to face her old rival Serena in the quarter-finals this year and, while that would bring back some happy memories for the Russian, it could also give her some sleepless nights, given she has lost their last 15 meetings dating back to 2004.
For now, world number five Sharapova, who faces British wild card Samantha Murray in the first round, is just focused on advancing through the first week of the tournament.
"I don't like to come into this tournament thinking, 'I just won a Grand Slam'. I like to challenge myself and be hungry," she added.
"Always when I think about winning so many matches or having a great season, I don't know, I get a little bored in my mind. I want to challenge myself when I go out on the court.
"I don't want to think about what happened two weeks ago. I want to start from scratch."

Make Safety a Priority as Temperatures Begin to Rise

Northwestern Medicine emergency physician offers tips on how to play smart in the summer sun
With Memorial Day unofficially marking the start of summer, the season's beautiful weather will draw many Chicagoans outside to parks, beaches, and patios. While summer is full of fun, the combination of high temperatures and overexposure to the sun can cause serious health concerns. To help people stay healthy this season, Northwestern Medicine® experts offer tips for summer safety.
"Even though summer is a time to enjoy the weather outside, people often underestimate the risks that come with the heat," said Rahul Khare, MD, an emergency medicine physician at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. "It's important to take the necessary steps that will keep you safe and healthy this season."
Heat-related illnesses occur quite commonly, leading Khare to treat more than 100 cases each summer, most often heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion can develop when body temperatures rise because of dehydration or overexertion in hot weather.
The symptoms of heat exhaustion generally include muscle cramping, aching pain, headaches, nausea, weakness, intense thirst, feeling faint or dizzy, or an increased pulse rate. Replenishing with fluids can help maintain the body's cooling system, relieving the symptoms.
"The most severe of all heat-related diseases is heat stroke, which can cause serious disability or death," said Khare, who is also an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. "If the body's temperature rises too quickly, it loses its ability to sweat and cool down causing heat stroke."
Symptoms of heat stroke vary, but often include hallucinations, rapid pulse, feeing faint or dizzy, difficulty breathing, confusion or strange behavior, and the absence of sweating with hot red or flushed dry skin.
"Most people who start to develop heat stroke often have no idea they're in any danger because of mental status changes," said Khare. "If you think someone is experiencing heat stroke, call 911, get them out of the heat and provide fluids."
Khare recommends lowering their body temperature by splashing or spraying the victim with cool water and hydrating them with a sports drink filled with electrolytes, sodium and potassium, all components the body loses through sweating.
"It is imperative for people to know the warning signs of heat-related illnesses and to take steps to protect themselves," said Khare.
When heading outdoors to enjoy the summer sun, Khare recommends the following safety tips:
Scope out the shade
Enjoy the outdoors in a shaded location. Whether under a beach umbrella or large tree, find a shaded spot to keep you cool.
Avoid the high humidity
Humidity can keep sweat from evaporating quickly, preventing the body from releasing heat effectively. Refrain from intensive outdoor activity in high humidity, and if active try to drink between two to four glasses of water an hour.
Wear cool clothing
Beat the heat by choosing loose fitting clothing and a hat. Baseball caps and visors provide great protection along with light-colored natural fabric clothing.
Check the clock
Limit the time spent outdoors if you aren't accustomed to the heat. Avoid outdoor activities and schedule around the sun's strongest hours, typically between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Stay hydrated
Most importantly, remember to hydrate. Drink plenty of water or sports drinks to restore body fluids, and avoid caffeinated drinks such as coffee, alcohol, and soda.
Heat-related illnesses can occur in any healthy individual, but some groups are at higher risk. "People with certain medical conditions, the elderly, and young children should take extra precautions," warned Khare. "For those most susceptible, hot environments should be avoided whenever possible."
Northwestern Medicine is the shared vision that joins Northwestern Memorial HealthCare and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in a collaborative effort to transform medicine through quality healthcare, academic excellence and scientific discovery.
To find a physician at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, call 312-926-0779.

Not increasing? While you're correct that they aren't raising undead again (Darion reserves that skill) there are certainly enough dead bodies laying around Azeroth for materials for more undead. I know originally they were raised by the legion to be subservient to arthas, but sylvanaas has obviously found a way to raise dead bodies as new forsaken, otherwise how could we roll them? I'm betting the RAS and varimathas came up with it.

When Chris Bosh was hurt against the Indiana Pacers, it looked like the Miami Heat were in a world of hurt. They struggled to a seven game series against the Boston Celtics before Bosh finally looked like his old self. In Game 7, Chris Bosh basically snuffed out any Celtics rally and was the reason the Heat won Game 7.
Chris Bosh is often the forgotten member of the Miami Big 3. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade get all the press, but when it came down to crunch time, the Boshtrich was ready, willing, and able to carry the Heat to the Finals. He may not have had the total points of LeBron, but he had his at crucial tide turning moments.
Don't get me wrong, LeBron James had a fantastic game. His entire series was superb. However, he had some odd moments throughout the game where he wasn't touching the ball or he was launching weird jumpers. Bosh maximized his minutes, which is what gives him the edge in my mind.
Chris Bosh had 19 points on 8 of 10 shooting, but the real story of his offense was his three point shooting. Bosh made three three-pointers, which is incredible. He had never made that many in a game in his career, but pulls it off in a Game 7. That is what you call stepping up to the plate. He also grabbed eight boards, which is something he doesn't do all the time.
You also can not forget the defense that Chris Bosh played down the stretch. With under five minutes to go, Bosh turned his defense up about five notches. He snuffed out an alley oop, he caused an bad shot and was basically destroying the Celtics will. It was impressive to see.

Media release
18 August 2009
The instantly recognisable Happy Little Vegemites jingle, the sound of a news broadcast of boxer Lionel Rose winning the 1968 World Bantamweight Title and Helen Reddy's feminist anthem I am Woman are among the ten recordings added to the National Film and Sound Archive's Sounds of Australia registry, Arts Minister Mr Peter Garrett announced today.
"Sounds of Australia is a fantastic compilation of the Australian songs and recordings that have endured over the years to become part of our story and these new additions will resonate around our country.
"From Vic Simms' 1973 song The Loner about racism and Indigenous dispossession to Dorothea Mackellar's recitation of her own iconic poem My Country and Smoky Dawson's Adventures of The Singing Bullet, these sounds are very familiar and help tell the Australian story," Mr Garrett said
"It is my great pleasure to announce their inclusion in the registry and to see them celebrated in this way, preserved for future generations to enjoy."
The Archive's Sounds of Australia project was launched in 2007 with a foundation list of 10 sounds, and since then the Australian public has been invited each year to add to the register.
A 21 member panel cased through the public nominations and came up with a list of ten sounds that reflect the breadth and depth of Australia's concerns and passions.
Other new entrants to the list include:
All the iconic recordings on the registry are available to listen to at the National Film and Sound Archive website:
