to maintain my climbing level.I'm also interested
in climbing in differant area's and on varied
crags. I lead E2 on Trad but will happily climb any grade. I've a couple of aims
at the moment, to climb all the routes in Hard Rock and to climb a 100 different routes at Gogarth which I did in Oct 2010. Member of the Climbers Club.

According to Waterloo Police, three people who reported being stabbed in Waterloo early Tuesday morning have been arrested after breaking into a home and attacking the owner.
Capt. Tim Pillack says 37-year-old Milo David Rousseau, 17-year-old Branden James Boyer and 19-year-old Austin Gilbert Christian, showed up at the Covenant Medical Center Emergency Room around 2:00 a.m. on Tuesday with stab wounds. They claimed to be victims of a stabbing at an unknown location.
After an investigation, police say that the three people broke into 223 Letsch Street and were stabbed by the homeowner as they were assaulting him with a blunt object.
All three are from Cedar Falls. They were arrested and charged with first degree burglary and second degree robbery.
Pillack says the driver of the getaway car, 17-year-old Trevor Allen Kern, of Cedar Falls, has also been charged with first degree burglary and second degree robbery.

Saturday's Lunar Eclipse Will Include 'Impossible' Sight(Photo by Images In The Backcountry on Flickr)
Saturday's Lunar Eclipse Will Include 'Impossible' Sight(Photo by Images In The Backcountry on Flickr)
This year's second total lunar eclipse on Saturday (Dec. 10) will offer a rare chance to see a strange celestial sight traditionally thought impossible.
For most places in the United States and Canada, there will be a chance to observe an unusual effect, one that celestial geometry seems to dictate can't happen. The little-used name for this effect is a "selenelion" (or "selenehelion") and occurs when both the sun and the eclipsed moon can be seen at the same time.
But wait! How is this possible? When we have a lunar eclipse, the sun, Earth and moon are in a geometrically straight line in space, with the Earth in the middle. So if the sun is above the horizon, the moon must be below the horizon and completely out of sight (or vice versa).
And indeed, during a lunar eclipse, the sun and moon are exactly 180 degrees apart in the sky; so in a perfect alignment like this (a "syzygy") such an observation would seem impossible.
But it is atmospheric refraction that makes a selenelion possible.
Atmospheric refraction causes astronomical objects to appear higher in the sky than they are in reality.

The days are getting longer and soon my toils will again live outside, but I did stay busy this winter. I came upon a small, grease-covered, table frame that had been outside, unused for five plus years. The previous owner allowed me to have it at no cost, so I decided to clean it up and make a side table out of it. I finally was able to get the grease off and then power sanded its surface to restore some of its raw metal shine but still leave the pitted texture. I then bought some insanely beautiful (expensive) rosewood for the top and with some specialty tools from my neighbor, was able to under-mount the two pieces. Finally, i applied two coats of polyurethane and this is how it turned out. Total cost - $67 (mostly the wood)
When we moved in, we were lucky to have the original carriage doors on the garage, we were unlucky that they were covered in three different shades of red. As a housewarming gift my dad gave me a heat gun to make the job easier. Be warned, stripping this much paint takes a lot of time and patience. Also, if its this old, assume that lead paint was used and wear a respirator. I used the heat gun to quickly warm the paint until you can easily scrape it off with a 5-in-1. Unfortunately you have to work on a small area at a time. Once I scrapped off most of the paint, I then used a chemical stripper to loosen up deeper paint. When you are happy with the paint removal, you will need to sand the entire surface to at least make the surface a bit more uniform. I could have probably sanded off every bit of paint and primer but I wanted to done with this project before my first born learns how to drive… through my newly finished garage doors. So, I installed the new piece of trim that covers the space in between each door, and stained them using a semi transparent deck stain by Cabot. I also applied a rustoleum product for the hinges.
The final product looks great. Once again, the original, old growth wood can be seen and our carriage doors have the character that we were hoping for.
Urban Gardening update: As most of you know, Claire and I really enjoy growing our own vegetables, so when we moved in we took over the sidewalk grass strip that luckily gets full sun nearly all day. Last year we built two 4'x8' raised beds and had a pretty darn good year. This spring we decided to drop two more in, for a total of four raised beds and a tomato planter. This year I built a cloche for the two new beds to speed up my seeds and starts and it worked exceptionally well. We are way ahead from this time last year. Since the cloche worked so well, I am going to try and have one of the beds be a hot house (already hit 115 degrees) and grow veggies that normally need more heat to grow well, plants like peppers, eggplants, bush beans, and tomatoes. Since we have doubled the amount of planting space this year we are growing some new veggies to us. Currently growing: Snow peas, Pak Choi, Chard, assortment of lettuce, assort. of kale, brussel sprouts, beets, spinach, green onion, leeks, chinese cabbage, strawberries, kohlrabi, radish, parsnip, carrots, turnips, potatoes, fennel, tomatoes, banana peppers, sweet peppers, jalapeno, purple bush bean, yellow squash, zucchini, japanese cucumbers and eggplants.
All in all, the planters have been been a wonderful edition to overall feeling of home. We are utilizing a space that we would have never been able to use for 'yard' purposes and we are not filling up our yard with veggie gardens. During the spring, summer and fall we get a pretty substantial amount of food from them for just a little bit of work (initial set up is 70% of the work). But the unforeseen benefit of the planters has been their ability to connect us to our neighbors. Over half of all the people we have met in our neighborhood is due to the planters. People tell me that they alter their daily walk, bike ride, run, errands just to see how all the veggies are doing. I have had people knock on our door to ask questions about the various veggies and ask for tips and advice. So, if you have the space, and desire to grow some yummy veggies, I highly recommend it and let me know if you need any help. You do not need a green thumb, you will grow one.
Is anyone still out there? Been a while, huh? Anyways, we have done a ton of work in the yard(photo update shortly) and we are starting to think about a fence to help create a more intimate space in our garden. We still want light and air to pass through it so we do not feel as though we are in a box. The aesthetic of horizontal designs really work for what we want. I rode around the neighborhood this morning and found some prime examples of the result we are looking for.
It's been a while since our last post. The house has been at a bit of a stand still as I continue my graphic design program and Ted begins his studies to become a firefighter. In the meantime, we have gotten engaged and adopted two kittens! Jackson and Pepper are 3 month old brother and sister. We took them out for their first snow experience today and they were surprisingly not traumatized by the experience. As you can see by the photos, I am officially a crazy cat lady.
Oooooh plants. This is the time of year if you need to buy a ton of plants. Most nursery's are trying to get rid of all their inventory before winter really sets and this time of year is better for planting since are now getting consistent rainfall. We were able to get a ton small plants and shrubs and six trees. Now we just want these things to grow. They should look great as they fill in. The next step in the yard will probably be adding a patio area for our housemate side of the yard and adding large rocks to the landscape. Stay tuned, should have some cool projects this winter.
Gravel has been delivered and installed… long overdue. Preparation is a pain in the ass, but its well worth it. Your final product will work and look much better. Building a level structure around a patio area makes the gravel work faster and easier. I wont miss the questions from passersby, asking if I was building a stream down the yard.
Finally finished the driveway. We pulled up all the gravel and replaced half with sedums and the back half with 12" x 24" pavers. We were tired of tripping and chair legs suddenly dropping into chasms. We planted four different types of creeping thyme that will eventually fill all the gaps around the pavers. The reason behind planting four different types is to determine which type does the best in the conditions present. The great thing about creeping thyme is that it can handle heavy foot traffic, grows very densely and smells great when you walk on it. Cant wait until it totally fills in.
Finally built our patio table. Claire and I found an old door and knew it had to be our table. Its a very sturdy door faced with solid cedar. You can see the large hinge marks on the top face. I made the structure of the table out of rough-cut 2x4s. I made all the cuts with a japanese pull saw. It was surprisingly quick and simple construction and I am pretty happy with the outcome, especially since I had zero table-making experience. I sealed it with exterior wood oil since it will be outdoors year round. Cant wait to use it, watch out for splinters.
So, the first step was leveling a spot for a patio, had to do something with all the excavated soil, so I built a low wall out of cut up pieces of sidewalk. I had to rent a concrete saw with a diamond blade and it was still pretty slow going. But all said and done, this wall cost about $150 including the rental. Now I need to finish digging out the path so I can lay the french drain down the length of it.

Since disposable diapers were introduced about forty years ago, these modern diapers are meeting the needs and expectations of most parents; however, diaper choice is a decision that every new parent faces. Ideally, you should make the choice between cloth and disposable diapers before the baby arrives, so you can stock up or make delivery arrangements ahead of time.
A red bottom is the last thing you want to find when you open your baby's diaper. But it's not unusual for infants and toddlers to develop diaper rash, a skin condition that occurs from wearing diapers.

Like millions of people, I jumped on the budget bandwagon and signed up for all kinds of flash-offer email services–Groupon, Gilt, and the like. Some of the offers I get are entertaining ("Flirty Fitness" classes?), some are downright disturbing (DNA Testing?). I've noticed a trend, lately, toward offering discounts on entry fees to races, some of which are really tempting. Just this morning, my daily deal was half off the entry for "Fired Up 'N Fit," an obstacle course-type race patterned after the kind of challenges used in training firefighters (thus the name) and EMS staff.
I've previously written about the trend toward down-and-dirty fitness events like Tough Mudder, Muddy Buddy and Hero Race that have you traversing land, water and anything in between. But I have yet to take the plunge (literally and figuratively). While I'm tempted to test my body and nerve in that manner, I've got my reasons for resisting, at least for now. And I'm not just talking about the potential danger involved in some of the more extreme conditions these events put you through. This week, the death of a 28-year-old man during a Tough Mudder competition in West Virginia had the Internet buzzing, questioning the safety and sanity of extreme racing. What a tragedy for that man and his family and friends, a horrible, horrible tragedy. Apparently, this wasn't some high-risk, 50+, under-trained dude out to prove his manhood: He was reportedly fit, certainly young. No one yet knows why he died.
There are injuries and even deaths at more typical athletic events—marathons and triathlons, for instance—and a lot of near-misses. I was running a six-mile race on Thanksgiving day two years ago here in Nashville when a man collapsed with a heart attack; luckily, an ER doctor was only steps behind him, saving his life. The heart attack victim was in his early 60s, but a regular runner with a clean bill of health. I'm sure he didn't think he was risking his life that morning when he was lacing up his Reeboks.
The fact is that something could go wrong—either in your body, or with your equipment, or in your surroundings—during any athletic event. Sometimes, extreme conditions or exertion reveals a hidden health issue with tragic consequences.And at some point, you can't really protect yourself. But you can be choosy about the risks you take, and enter into them with eyes wide open. If you find yourself contemplating a new physical challenge, here are a few things to consider.
1. Make sure you've had a physical exam within the last year year. That sounds like a no-brainer, but I know A LOT of people who don't do this.
2. If you have any heart-related risk factors, talk to your doctor if the event you're considering will require extreme levels of exertion (more effort than your toughest regular workout) or the duration is out of the ordinary. For instance, if you typically ride 25 miles on your bike a couple times a month, don't just sign up for a 100 mile ride without your doc's OK (and a really solid training plan).
3. Know EXACTLY what you're getting into. Read course and obstacle descriptions carefully, look for comments from past participants, watch videos of previous races (like the one featuring Tough Mudder, below). This will help you get a sense of how challenging the race might be and guide your training.
4. Speaking of training: Make sure you provide ample time to get into condition for the specific event you're entering. There are loads of resources on the web for this, but also look for training groups affiliated with the event (many do this), and/or consider hiring a personal trainer. This is not only safe, but it will improve your performance on race day and help you recover more quickly afterward.
5. Be realistic about your limits, and consider how hard you want to push yourself. I'm not just talking about age here. Everyone has physical strengths and weaknesses. You may want to enter a specific type of race to push yourself to address certain weaknesses–I get that. But if you blindly sign up for something that you're not prepared for–and then don't put in the training–you may end up injured (or worse), or at least miserable. The main reason why I'm not all over the Fired Up 'N Fit thing is that I seriously doubt I have the upper-body strength to pull off some of the challenges. And I don't want to jeopardize my rowing by getting injured or being so sore that I can't practice effectively.
6. Take it seriously. Call me a mood-killer, but a race is a race is a race is a race. I'm all for having fun, but an obstacle race is no easier than, say, a triathlon or 10K. In fact, because they tend to challenge your body in ways that may not be addressed by your typical workout regimen, they may be even tougher than traditional races.
7. Do a trial run. If you think this cautionary tail is a bunch of balderdash, try replicating an obstacle, just one obstacle, to see how you'd do, today, with no training. Try, for instance, a standing broad jump (which you might have to do at some point to launch yourself over a mud pit), or head to a playground and attempt to scale the monkey bars or pull yourself over a high bar. Not easy, is it?
8. Investigate the event you're considering. Have there been injuries in the past? A simple Google search will likely reveal reports. What type of medical facilities are on site? Are there ample aid/water stations? This information should be readily available on their website. If not, that's a red flag.
9. Be wary of homegrown events. On the whole, a race series created by professional event organizers may be safer and simply run more smoothly. Similar events in other cities have likely allowed the organizers to refine their concept and make improvements.
I may, some day, decide to take on an obstacle race–but for now, my daily life has enough obstacles in it for me!

Gauda (Bengali: গৌড়), was a territory located in Bengal in ancient and mediaeval times,[1][2] as part of the Gauda Kingdom.
Location and extent[edit]
The Arthashastra of Chanakya (around 350–-283 BC) refers to it along with Vanga, Pundra and Kamarupa. This geographical idea continues with some of the ancient texts.[2] Gauda and Vanga are sometimes used side by side.[1]
Shashanka, the first important king of ancient Bengal who is believed to have ruled between 590 AD to 625 AD, had his capital at Karnasubarna, 9.6 kilometres (6.0 mi) south-west of Baharampur, headquarters of Murshidabad district.[1] The Chinese monk, Xuanzang (Hiuen Tsang) travelled from the country of Karnasubarna to a region in Orissa ruled by Shashanka.[2] There is mention of Pundravardhana being part of Gauda in certain ancient records.[3]
Evidence seems to be discrepant regarding links of Gauda with the Rarh region. While Krishna Mishra (eleventh or twelfth century AD), in his Prabodha-chandrodaya, mentions that Gauda rashtra includes Rarh (or Rarhpuri) and Bhurishreshthika, identified with Bhurshut, in Hooghly and Howrah districts, but the Managoli inscription of the Yadava king Jaitugi I distinguishes Lala (Rarh) from Gaula (Gauda).[1]
According to Jain writers of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, Gauda included Lakshmanavati in present day Malda district.[1]
The Pala emperors were referred to as Vangapati (Lord of Vanga) and Gaudesvara (Lord of Gauda). Sena kings also called themselves Gaudesvara. From then Gauda and Vanga seem to be interchangeable names for whole of Bengal.[1]
In the early Muslim period the name Gauda came to be applied to Lakhanavati in Malda district.[1]
Gour, ruined city[edit]
Gaur/Gour (Bengali: গৌড়), as it is spelled mostly in modern times refers to Lakhnauti the ruined city, in Malda district of West Bengal, India, on the west bank of the Ganges river, 40 kilometers downstream from Rajmahal.

- "You're My Daddy"
- ―Abby Carlton (To Victor) When The Truth is Revealed
Abigail "Abby" Rachel Carlton Newman is a fictional character on The Young and the Restless, portrayed by Melissa Ordway.
Abby was conceived when Ashley Abbott, desperate to have Victor Newman's child to replace the one she aborted years ago, stole his sperm from a sperm bank and secretly had herself inseminated. Little Abby grew up believing Brad Carlton was her father. Abby had two sisters, Victoria Newman and Colleen Carlton, and two brothers, Nicholas Newman and Adam Newman.
Early Years, Around the World and Back AgainEdit
While Ashley Abbott had cancer, she recorded a video message for Abby to see when she grew up revealing the truth that Victor Newman was her biological father. Unknown to Ashley, Abby saw the video and told Victor. Though the truth was out, Abby saw both Brad and Victor as father figures.
In early 2007, Ashley left Genoa City to work for Jabot International in Hong Kong taking Abby with her. From Hong Kong, they move to Los Angeles. They both stay in Los Angeles until mid-2008. Ashley and Abby eventually end up in London, with Ashley working for Forrester Creations' international branch. (The Bold and the Beautiful)
Victor, Brad's Death and Abby's RebellionEdit
Ashley Abbott left Abby in London while she went to Paris to help Victor Newman. Ashley and Victor reunited romantically and returned to Genoa City to live together. Abby joined them on Christmas as a surprise for Victor. Abby and her mother moved into the Newman ranch and Victor took a greater role in Abby's life, including buying her a champion Arabian horse. He asked her to start calling him "Dad" which she did upsetting Brad Carlton. Not long after, Brad went missing. A threatening message from Victor to Brad was found on Brad's phone and Abby heard it.
Brad was killed while saving Noah Newman, the son of Sharon Newman and Nick Newman, from drowning in a frozen lake. Once Brad's dead body was found, Abby's adoptive sister, Colleen Carlton, let out her anger at Victor. Abby started to rebel against her mom. Abby and Colleen had a hard time dealing with their dad's death.
Colleen's Death, Stumbling Into Trouble and The Naked HeiressEdit
On September 29, 2009, Colleen Carlton was pronounced brain dead after almost drowning and was soon after taken off life support by her mother, Traci Abbott Connolly. The next day, her mother gave birth to a daughter, Faith Colleen Newman, who was really Nicholas Newman and Sharon Newman's daughter, but Adam Newman passed her off as Ashley Abbott Newman's baby.
In October 2009, Abby became interested in the much older Ryder Callahan. She began flirting with him but Ryder turned her down. On Halloween night, she met Ryder's fraternal twin sister, Daisy Sanders while trying to attend her uncle Billy Abbott's Halloween party, unaware that Daisy was Ryder's twin sister. Then Abby ran into Ryder. She tried to get him drunk until he caught her with alcohol. Abby got drunk but Ryder did not tell her parents.
Later, Abby met up with Ryder once again at an abandoned zoo where Jana Fisher and Lauren Baldwin were locked in cages, and unknowingly assisted him by getting him food and medicine. Later that year in order to try to get a reality show, Abby led a nude protest against Jabot Cosmetics unaware that her mother had been made CEO. she planned to pay for it with her inheritance but her parents decided that she was not mature enough to get the money. Desperate to get enough money to start up the reality show, she talked Rafe Torres into suing her parents for her inheritance.
Daniel, More Publicity and A LawsuitEdit
In 2010, Abby was walking into Crimson Lights when she spotted Ryder Callahan. Abby tried to attack him but Daniel Romalotti dragged her away. Daniel called her a brat and then slapped her. The next day Abby flirted with Daniel and then kissed him. Daniel pulled her off but they started to kiss even more passionately. Still desperate to get money for the show, Abby decided to use Billy Abbott's magazine. She got onto his laptop to put some footage of herself on his website without his permission but finds Victoria Newman and Billy's wedding video instead.
She asked Billy and Victoria to invest in her. When they refused, she revealed to everyone their secret. The next day Abby and Ashley went to court and Abby brought along her video camera. The security guard caught it and took it away. Abby was infuriated until her producer arrived with a camera hidden in his glasses. The court ruled in favor of Ashley and Abby decided to show the world the footage to get revenge on the judge. But that was not the only footage Abby wanted to show the world. She had sex with Daniel while her hidden cameras were on because all the best celebrities had sex tapes.
Abby decided to sue her father again. After Victor got the pregnant Victoria arrested for a crime he committed, she dropped it but was soon attacking him again when she learned he had been mismanaging her trust. Victoria decided to help her out.
Relationship with DanielEdit
After being confronted by a pregnant Daisy Sanders, Abby tried to get Daniel to consider the possibility that he may be the father of Daisy's baby but he didn't want to listen. Abby told Daniel Romalotti she believed the now revealed Daisy's claims that he fathered Daisy's baby. She also said she thought they should stop seeing each other so he could focus on the paternity test and she could focus on suing her father. In December 2010, Abby was at Jimmy's Bar for a New Year's Eve party. Daniel called to say he was on his way. At Jimmy's, Abby greeted Daniel. Daniel was confident that he would soon be free of Daisy. Abby noted that Daniel seemed relieved. Daniel said aside from his relationship with Abby, 2010 had been a bad year for him. Daniel said he was counting the moments until he was free of Daisy.
Daisy escaped, and Daniel went after her. He was found the next day unconsience. He was in critical condition, and Abby stayed by his bedside until he woke up. She then stuck by him, comforting him about Daisy and his missing baby, and apologizing for how she treated him when Daisy was pregnant.
Daniel and Abby's relationship later ended in 2011.
The LawsuitEdit
On Abby's birthday, Jack Abbott and Victoria gave Abby good news: the judge in their court case ruled that Victor Newman must turn over his financial records. Abby got cold feet and told Victoria that she wanted out of the lawsuit so that their dad wouldn't hate her.Victoria talked her sister down. Victoria continued to manipulate her sister, and soon the lawsuit spiraled out of control, with Victoria changing the demands to 3 billion, or Beauty of Nature. Nick got involved later on to get revenge on Victor for getting Sharon arrested. Abby started to hate what the lawsuit she started was doing to her family, and wanted to drop out, but her siblings kept manipulating her into staying.
Victor got Adam involved by promising if he helped him he would get the charges dropped against Sharon. At the arburation, Adam told the judge that he forged the documents and created the trusts, so the lawsuit was based on fraud and Victoria, Nick, and Abby would get nothing. It ended up not working as Nick, Victoria and Abby, with help from testimony provided by Neil Winters, won their lawsuit.
More "Naked Heiress" and a new romanceEdit
After winning her lawsuit against her father, Abby continued to make a fool out of herself by continuing to pull various stunts as "The Naked Heiress", further embarressing her family. She also continued to have issues with Tucker, which further strained her relationship with Ashley. However, Abby later dealt with those issues after talking with Tucker. However, she was hurt when her mother told her that she and Tucker were getting a divorce.
Abby also at one point found herself caught up in the drama involving Billy, Victoria and Chelsea Lawson, the woman who was pregnant with Billy's child. She was at Victoria's house and got caught up in the argument between Victoria and Chelsea because of Adam showing up to give Chelsea her cell phone. When Chelsea ran off, Abby joined Victoria in looking for her.
In the romance department, Abby found herself interested in a guy named Carmine Basco, who worked as a bartender at Gloworm. Carmine was in town to get even with Kevin Fisher for marrying Carmine's ex Angelina Veneziano. He was, however, interested in Abby, and they did become friends. However, Carmine, out of anger towards Kevin, tried to kidnap Chloe on the night of the art gala. However, Abby noticed what was going on and saved Chloe by jumping into Carmine's car herself. She tried to take advatage of the situtation in order to get more publicity for herself. Abby ended up regretting it and turned herself and Carmine in, which ended up hurting their friendship. They did make up and had sex for the first time on the basketball court, taking their relationship to the next level.
On the professional front, Abby became an investor in TagNGrab, the fashion retail website run by Kevin and Chloe. However, the website went under due to lack of funds and mismangement by Kevin and Chloe. Abby's bad luck continued when she and Carmine broke up.
New relationshipEdit
After her relationship with Carmine ended, Abby dated police officer Alex Chavez for a time, but the two split up. She then catches the eye of Tyler Michaelson, a former Jabot PR executive who is now roommates with Abby's nephew Noah Newman. The two grow closer as they get to know each other. However, when Abby finally confesses to Tyler that she loves him, he distances himself from her. Abby is hurt by that but is determined to find out why so she asks him. Tyler confesses that he loves her as well and only distanced himself from her out of fear of his feelings for her. Their bond continues to grow stronger. They take the next step in their relationship and move in together. However, their happiness is later threatened by one of Tyler's ex-girlfriends, Mariah, who bears a striking resemblence to Abby's late niece Cassie Newman.

Will Automation Lead to Economic Collapse?
Most of the agriculture and industrial jobs are already phased out by machines. Over 70% of jobs and labor is currently to find in the service sector, but also this sector is being phased out and replaced by automation which means decreased purchasing power of the general public. Just take a look at this: http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2012/08/20/Will-Robots-Cause-Mass-Unemployment-in-China.aspx#page1
Let's make an example as well. What exactly happens when people get automated by machines? They loose their jobs and need welfare to support themselves until they get a new job, if they ever do. But, where does welfare come from? It comes from tax payers. And do people on welfare pay taxes? They don't. So, what happens when everybody is on welfare due to automation and nobody pays taxes? This example is the reality in Michigan and the government there have been on the brink of shutting down due this exact issue. And we are beginning to see this never-ending spiral go out of control in the rest of the world. The trends are definitely there, but where's the solutions?
Is an economic collapse, in fact, an imminent event and a mathematical certainty, looking at the trends in Michigan and China? And is there a way out of this, looking at it in an economical perspective?

Oprah in talks to buy Clippers
The National Basketball Association's 29 team owners will likely vote to force Donald Sterling to sell the Los Angeles Clippers after he was banned for life for racist comments, some of the owners said on Wednesday.
As it appeared more likely the team would be put up for sale, talk show host turned media businesswoman Oprah Winfrey emerged among potential buyers who have expressed interest. She said she was in discussions with producer and film studio executive David Geffen and Oracle Corp computer technology Chief Executive Officer Larry Ellison to bid for the team if it becomes available.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who also announced a $2.5 million fine on Sterling on Tuesday, asked the league's governing board of fellow owners to act immediately to force Sterling to sell the club he bought 33 years ago.
Although no firm date for the vote was given by the NBA, early indications were that owners would overwhelmingly support the unprecedented move.
"We run a color blind league and this should not be tolerated," Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive told ESPN Radio. "The only thing we care about is do you have game.
"I would be surprised if this was not a unanimous vote. The owners are amazing people, they are color blind and I fully expect a unanimous vote."
Under the NBA's own bylaws, it is up to the league's owners to decide whether to force the sale of the Clippers franchise.
At least three-quarters of the owners would have to support the move but sports business experts said Sterling's peers might be leery of action they felt could jeopardize their own property rights in the future.
According to NBA bylaws, Silver must provide a written copy of any charges within three days to Sterling, who has five days to answer. A special hearing of the Board of Governors then will be held on a date no more than 10 days after Sterling's reply.
The board's advisory finance committee has a meeting scheduled on Thursday to go over the next steps in removing Sterling as owner of the Clippers, a spokesman for the NBA said.
Glen Taylor, the owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves and interim chair of the NBA Board of Governors, said the ideal course of action would be if Sterling just agreed to a sale.
"The problems would occur if he decides that he doesn't want to sell the team and we think that it should be sold," Taylor told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "Then we have to make sure that we got the votes and then enforce that."
Taylor said he had not spoken to all of the owners, but said he was "reasonably sure" there was enough support for a forced sale and he expected there would be potential buyers.
Earvin "Magic" Johnson, the former basketball star who is a part owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team and who once had a stake in the Los Angeles Lakers, has been mentioned as a possible suitor for the Clippers. On Monday, the day before commissioner Silver's announcement, Johnson had tweeted that "I want to put a stop to a rumor. I am not trying to buy the Clippers, they already have an owner."
One of boxing' s biggest names, five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., expressed interest in comments to reporters in Las Vegas.
Clippers owner Sterling was forced out of basketball on Tuesday after two websites released audio recordings of him criticizing a woman friend for "associating with black people." The woman heard on the recordings at the heart of the scandal is said to be a 31-year-old Los Angeles model who goes by the name V. Stiviano.
The recordings drew outrage from players, fans, politicians and commercial sponsors, several of whom said they were cutting ties with the team, even after the NBA moved to expel Sterling.
The scandal quickly grew into a national discussion of race relations transcending basketball.
Sterling has not yet commented on the sanctions against him and it was not immediately clear whether he would seek to challenge the ban in court. Sterling did not respond to requests for comment from Reuters.
But lawyers with expertise in sports law gave him little chance of successfully suing the NBA, citing league governance rules that all owners must accept.

The Spy Who Loved Me (Then Went to Work for Hitler)
The story of Anastase Vonsiatsky, an unlikely spy in Thompson, Conn.

The Spy Who Loved Me (Then Went to Work for Hitler)
You've probably heard the story of Nathan Hale – one of Connecticut's most famous spies. But in the 1930s, Connecticut was home to a lesser-known case of international espionage. As WNPR's Nina Earnest reports, a Russian immigrant in Thompson became the focus of an FBI investigation for spying on behalf of Germany.
The year was 1917. The Bolveshik revolution was sweeping over imperial Russia. A young military cadet named Anastase Vonsiatsky left military school in St. Petersburg to fight the Reds. As he came from a family that had been loyal to the czar for years, the White Russian loathed the spread of Lenin's communist message. He then took part in the Russian Civil War.
Iamartino: The story is that Vonsiatsky himself was involved in some pretty significant atrocities.
That's Joe Iamartino, the president of the Thompson Historical Society.
Iamartino: He was shot at, he was wounded. And he somehow ended up in Istanbul.
Then how did he make his way to Thompson – a town of less than 10,000 in northeastern CT? He goes from Istanbul to Paris, trying to make some money.
Iamartino: The story is he works in a can can parlor, pulling curtains for the nudie dancers. And he somehow comes to the eye of this woman right here, who you can't see, but is Marion Ream Stephens.
Marion was a divorcée – a very wealthy divorcée. The heiress daughter of Gilded Age capitalist Norman B. Ream had signed up to be a nurse in France during World War I – maybe to save face from her unpleasant divorce. And she was 20 years older than Vonsiatsky. But was he the sort of person who could easily attract a woman?
Iamartino: We're told he had a very commanding presence.
Eventually, Marion returns to the United States and to Thompson, where her wealthy parents own one of many homes. The young Russian joins her.
Iamartino: So Marion has come back from France, and she's bringing her boytoy with her. This is an unusual circumstance for a very conservative Thompson, little town in Connecticut. And I'm sure there was a lot of discussion, like who is this person? And she's not really going to marry him, is she?
It turns out that she did. The couple married in 1922. Five years later he would become a naturalized citizen of the United States. But the townspeople didn't take to Vonsiatksy.
Lane: He'd drive by very slowly with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, in a convertible with the top down in all kind of weather.
That's 90-year-old Floyd Lane, Marion's one-time neighbor and former employee.
Lane: He looked like something out of Hollywood. He was just that different. And for a youngster, he was…I just didn't want anything to do with him.
The Thompson Historical Society interviewed one of its founders, Elmer White, in the 1970s. The recording of White is of low quality, due to its age. He was around when Vonsiatsky came to town.
White: Nobody liked Vonsiatsky. Nobody liked him around town here. He wasn't a likable person at all.
Within a few years, Vonsiatsky took on a new moniker.
Iamartino: Somehow he's become Count Vonsiatsky.
Lane: Some doubt the authenticity of his being a count. I don't think that was ever confirmed, anywhere. But let me say, he carried it off.
White: He was a phony, you know. He wasn't anything. He really wasn't anything.
After arriving in Thompson, the aloof Count Vonsiatsky went to Brown University for an education but couldn't make the grade. Yet he soon was involved in a movement to destroy the ideology that drove him from his native Russia.
Iamartino: He decides that he's going to get involved in the Russian movement to throw out the Reds. So he begins this relationship – it may have started a Brown – coming into some revolutionary thought. Revolutionary in the way of getting rid of Communism.
He led his anti-communist crusade from one of the most unlikely places – his home in Thompson, Connecticut. Marion had bought some land not far from her father's mansion.
Iamartino: And that farm, they ended up calling it the 19th Hole. Because, across the street, Marion's fathe wanted to play golf. So he built a golf course. And after he died, Vonsiatsky – who is now living there – says I shall learn how to play golf, too. So he learns how to play golf and lives across the street and calls it the 19th Hole.
Lane: We'd see him quite frequently over there, and he was unique in his golfing game. He was a very poor golfer, among other things. Around the golf links, he was very politically active. He used those links to assemble pretty large crowds of people, upon occasion. Although we didn't know what was going on nor did we care much, certainly it always caught our attention. We wondered, what is this? What is this?
Iamartino: We're starting to get into late 20's, early 30's. And he starts to get more of a revolutionary zeal to replace the Communists when the Communists are thrown out.
In most of his photographs, he's posing in some kind of military uniform. Why? Because he founded his own fascist organization in 1933, the All Russian National Revolutionary Party. With access to Marion's money, he began to print professional newspapers, hold conclaves at the golf course and travel the world meeting with officials who also despised communism.
Iamartino: He's starting to visit anyone who's against Communism. Well the socialists were against Communism. Well the Nazis were socialists.
Iamartino: And he's meeting with representatives from Hitler, and he supposedly met Hitler himself.
That's a pretty big claim. Is there any evidence to support that fact? Official FBI historian John Fox says State Department records reveal his international travels but only to a point.
Fox: He was at least wealthy, possibly a prominent supporter from another country that high officials from Italy or Germany might have met with him. Would it have risen to the level of a Hitler or Mussolini? Um…I don't know.
Elmer White, in his 1970s interview, said that Vonsiatsky wasn't so secretive with his shifting loyalties.
Unidentified Woman: Were you aware of any Nazi sympathizers in the Thompson area?
White: That was Vonsiatsky. He was a Nazi sympathizer. He didn't try to cover it up any, he put a great Nazi flag, out in front of his house.
But it wasn't just the flag that grabbed the town's attention.
Iamartino: In his home, Vonsiatsky was very, very prepared. Inside his office, he has a rack of guns ready to go, bullets are embedded in the house. And he has what can be considered an armory. He has tear gas, he has all kinds of weapons.
Lane: That was something that was shocking. You'd see all these rifles lined up against the wall, hanging from the wall and so forth. You know, what are they for? He could have supplied the arms for a militia.
He could not be so active in his fascist activities without attracting attention. Elmer White explains.
White: Well the FBI were wise to him. They were wise. They'd been watching him for a long time.
Vonsiatsky began to associate with the leaders of pro-Nazi group the German American Bund. The Bund, largely comprised of ethnic Germans, sought to spread Nazi propaganda in the United States. FBI historian John Fox describes the bureau's efforts to keep an eye on Vonsiatsky.
Fox: What he got caught up in was trying to aid the efforts of another person to go back to Germany with information about US military bases and disposition of troops around the country and that sort of thing. Just as we had entered the war.
The person in question was Gerhard Kunze, a man connected to the German American Bund. Kunze was arrested in Mexico in 1942 by local authorities just as he was preparing to leave for Germany in a small boat.
Fox: Once they got interested in Vonsiatsky, they'd bring him in for questioning. He tended to be fairly open about what he was involved in, at least the public side of things. Through searches of his premises, they found other evidence that linked Vonsiatsky to Gerhard Kunze.
He is tried and convicted under the Espionage Act of 1917. He was sentenced to five years in a federal penitentiary. One of his prosecutors – Thomas Dodd, future Connecticut senator and father of Sen. Chris Dodd.
Floyd Lane shared his reaction to his conviction.
Lane: Oh good enough. Good enough. Served him right, you know.
The so-called Count Vonsiatsky lived out the rest of his life in the U.S. and passed away in 1965. He and Marion eventually divorced after he reportedly became involved with another woman. He is laid to rest in a granite crypt in Thompson that is topped by a Russian Orthodox cross, where he is interred with both Marion and the wife that followed her.
Iamartino: I can't tell you how Marion feels being in there with his wife, his other wife, yet they're in there together. All three of them.
Yet many still wonder why Marion – an unconventional woman who had access to all the world could offer – brought him to Thompson at all.
Lane: You know, well, what did the lady think? Well if you know what a lady thinks, you have an uncommon aptitude that none of us have.

Help with Forum Moderators
13 April 2009 at 10:02am
I'm having trouble understanding how the security tab in the main SS interface relates to the forum module. I want to be able to create a forum moderator who is able to edit and delete posts in the forum, but who is not able to access/edit the other pages in the CMS. I've created a new security group of users called moderators, and I've used the permission tab to only grant them access to "ACCESS_FORUM."
I've tried setting the forum rank for my test member to both administrator and moderator, but neither seems to have any bearing on the ability to edit and delete posts by other users. The only users who can edit/delete posts are users with 'full administrator rights".
Also, when I edit the user permissions, I see a tab for "Moderated Forums" - how can I add something to this list? I see in the database there's a table called "Forum_Moderators" but it's empty.
Thanks for any help.

Did you ever manage to make this work? I'm having exactly the same problem. It seems that something is 'unplugged' in the code when it comes to give the moderator its powers over the forum, so the lack of information in the 'Moderated Forums' tab.

West Indies allrounder Christopher Barnwell, who is back in the national Twenty20 side after 17 months, has said he is eager to make an impact against Zimbabwe in the two T20I matches in Antigua this weekend.
Barnwell made his debut against Pakistan in 2011 and was dropped later that year after featuring in four matches. He has been recalled after a successful Caribbean T20 season, where he produced several match-winning efforts for runners-up Guyana. Barnwell scored 245 runs in eight matches and also took six wickets.
"I had a very good Caribbean T20 and I'm confident I will do well here against Zimbabwe," Barnwell said. "I feel I am in the right frame of mind and in good form with the bat and ball. I brought Guyana out of some difficult situations when the pressure was on, and I believe I can transfer those kinds of performances the international level, once I get the opportunity."Read more

FORT PAYNE, AL (WAFF) - A transfer truck hauling hundreds of bottles of beer collided with a concrete wall on Highway 35.
The crash sent hundreds of gallons of Bud Light into Joe Faulkner's yard.
The wreck happened Thursday at about 5:40 p.m. on Wallace Avenue, known locally as Joe's Truck Stop. The truck carrying hundreds of 12 packs missed the curve and ended up on its side against the concrete barrier that divides Highway 35 with Faulkner's yard.
Fort Payne firefighters and emergency responders worked about 45 minutes to free the driver, 41-year-old Glenn Dewayne Alston of Memphis, TN, who was not seriously injured.
Alston was driving a 2007 Mack truck owned by WSE Transportation out of Elm Springs, AR. He was taken to the hospital and is in fair condition.
It took crews 10 hours to clean up the spilled beer bottles and cardboard boxes.

I think their aphelions congregate. I'm still a little fuzzy on it. It's definitely the coolest astronomical phenomenon I've heard of since the halo orbit.If they orbit faster than Jupiter, how can they "congregate" opposite the sun or near L4 and L5?
Venus Public Transit, Map Of Ceres, Jack Vance's Ports Of Call & Lurulu ... why do I only have 3 maps here?

What can I say, I'm a fluffy kinda guy. Glad you like it so far! Free popcorn refills in the lobby.
Meanwhile ...
From my giant To Do list, I chose to map the Zodiac wedges next. We normally think of the Zodiac as 12 equal slices of the pie in the sky, but the official constellations themselves do not occupy equal arcs along the ecliptic. In fact, Ophiuchus (I knew about that one) and Orion (news to me!) also cross the ecliptic.
Wanting nice lopsided unequal areas rather than a pie sliced equal 12 ways -- like I said about offsetting the Sun, and varying the spacing between orbits -- I could not pass up the chance to use the wonky distribution of the Zodiac. So I figured I would determine the actual arcs of sky that each Zodiac constellation occupies.
Now, the thing is, the sky changes over time; I mean EVERYTHING in the sky changes over time. The Pole Star is only temporarily occupying a position very close to Earth's north axis. The whole galaxy is spinning. All the stars are moving. I can't just take a current constellation map and read it. I have to fire up Starry Night again and set it for 15605.09.15.1200. Which I did. And let me say, please, again, Starry Night is really awesome software. I finally got the durn thing to work in Vista (argh @ Microsoft) thanks to a recent update.
So I put myself in the middle of the sun in 15605 and looked at the constellations (1st screenshot). I couldn't find, and didn't expect to really, any way for Starry Night to give me the exact boundaries of the Zodiacs where they cross the ecliptic. Constellations are oddball shapes, and who cares where they meet the ecliptic? I dunno, maybe Starry Night could tell me, in its vast "overkill" datafeeds. To be honest, I didn't even look. It was easy enough to zoom way-y-y in (2nd screenshot, showing Orion's occupation of the ecliptic) to show subdegree divisions in the ecliptic grid, whereby I was pretty easily able to read, to the nearest degree, the ecliptic longitudes where of the constellations' borders. And I'm rounding off to the nearest degree for this whole project, anyway. I don't need the precise minutes & seconds.
And to double-check that I had 15605 data, and not 2008, I set it back to today, and looked at the constellations, and sure enough they were not where they will be in 15605. Yay, Starry Night!
Ah, now I just realize ... Orion does not cross the ecliptic in 2008. But by 15605, it will. Hah, no wonder I didn't know about Orion! See, my cosmic awareness is intact! Infallible as the Pope! Faster than a speeding, oh nevermind. Besides, Cetus threw in another twist that I didn't know about: it crosses the ecliptic (in 15,605 AD, anyway) in the middle of Pisces. Cetus means Whale. If I missed a whole whale, I can't brag too loudly about cosmic awareness, can I. Whole whale. It's fun to type, anyway.
Here's what I wound up with:
343º-019º Leo
019º-063º Virgo
063º-088º Libra
088º-093º Scorpio
093º-111º Ophiuchus *non-Zodiac
111º-145º Sagittarius (115º Galactic Center)
145º-173º Capricorn
173º-198º Aquarius
198º-235º Pisces (212º-214º Cetus)
235º-258º Aries
258º-293º Taurus
293º-295º Orion *non-Zodiac
295º-323º Gemini
323º-343º Cancer
So now I'll map them out in Illustrator, as wonky wedges. Not sure how to do that Cetus interruption yet. Got a vague idea ...
Venus Public Transit, Map Of Ceres, Jack Vance's Ports Of Call & Lurulu ... why do I only have 3 maps here?
OK, so I sliced my pie into unequal wedges based on the longitudes of the constellations (screenshot 1). The gray is Cetus inside Pisces. The blue is direction of the Galactic Core.
But, I suddenly realized, I got yet another monkey wrench here. I was kinda thinking to mark the constellations along the outside edge, like text around the rim of the pie plate, so to speak. But lookit my proposed crop of the orbits ... most of the edge of the pie plate is not visible! Only Cancer, Gemini, Orion, and Taurus display out at the edge (screenshot 1). Shoot. So, I have to brainstorm some way of marking the Zodiac wedges inside the orbits of some of the planets. Perhaps I can apply some partial transparency to the orbital tracks.
Of course, I might want to have some kind of orbital track graphic to start with, before I make it transparent. So maybe next I will thunk up the beginnings of a graphic identity. Suddenly I realize I have a lot of object to place yet, too -- I can't transparencize (is that a word?) the orbital tracks if I need them for objects! So next I guess I will start placing objects ... THEN, I can worry about where the Zodiac names can go, between objects. Yeh. Um. Maybe.
Oh. Duh. Why not mark the Zodiacs along the outside edge of the crop area? Hmm. Maybe.
Venus Public Transit, Map Of Ceres, Jack Vance's Ports Of Call & Lurulu ... why do I only have 3 maps here?
A little progress ... placed the main Belt asteroids. Crowded! And these are just the realworld main Belt asteroids ... I still need realworld trojans and fictitious artificial objects.
Also, I was just watching a cheesy astronomy show on TV, and I realize that the shading for the planets really ought to be based on the sun in the center. So much for the jaunty angle! But maybe I can tilt them a little bit into gibbous. That'll help.

Dinking with the orbit tracks.
What I had in mind was some old 1930's piece of pressed & enameled tin, like an old toy. Vaguely, I think Kevin Kline was playing with a vintage racehorse toy in Dave. Some old clunky thing like that, is what I want my map to look like. Medieval, too. Yeh, medieval early 20th century. You know.
So I was dinking around in Photoshop ...
- Copied my tracks from Illustrator, pasted them into Photoshop @ 300 dpi ... big file!
- Added some noise, pixellated @ course dots, maybe I used my "worms" action on them too.
- Added some edging with a layer effect, and also some inside fading.
- The fading wasn't working on the small tracks, so I made a new layer for it. (suppressed in the marquee, for a before & after kinda thing)
- Now some dirt! Good old difference clouds!
- And make sure the dirt is only along the edge ... voila.
Well, I might dink more. But it's getting there.

The forecasts aren't so sunny for the Ottawa Senators this year and that can either make them a source of underrated value or a team to avoid altogether if you fear the downside of minus ratings.
Number one centre Jason Spezza may qualify as the safest Senators player to pick, and he's missed 42 games over the last two seasons. When he's in the lineup, Spezza scores at close to a point-per-game pace, which makes him valuable enough, but injuries and a questionable supporting cast likely make him easier to get in mid-to-late rounds.
If there is one individual player who can make a significant difference in the Senators' season, it would be goaltender Craig Anderson. Anderson struggled in Colorado last year, but was excellent (11-5-1, 2.05 GAA, .939 SV%) in 18 games down the stretch with the Senators. Carrying that on for an entire sason is a lot to ask, but Anderson is posied to get a heavy workload as the Senators' starter.
Since the Senators are looking to the future, their young Swedish defencemen ought to play big minutes. Erik Karlsson had 45 points in 75 games last season, but his minus-30 rating made it difficult for him to provide overall value. Playing big minutes on a bad team does come with a down side.
Rookie David Rundblad had 50 points in 55 games for Skelleftea in the Swedish Elite League last season, which is impressive for a defencemen no matter how you slice it, so expectations will be high for Rundblad this year as he'll be counted on to improve Ottawa's ability to move the puck from the back end.
While the Sens look ahead with that young talent, there are still some veterans that will be counted on to play prominent roles. Injuries limited 38-year-old Daniel Alfredsson to 54 games last season and, as a result, his 31 points represented a career low. Alfie might be a prime sleeper candidate because he's going to play as a top six forward but it gets dicey when you start counting on bounceback seasons for players in their late thirties.
Few players were as disappointing as Sergei Gonchar last season, as he finished with 27 points and a career-worst minus-15 rating, but it should be noted that he was minus-19 through the first three months before stabilizing somewhat in the second half. Like Alfredsson, Gonchar is a candidate to perform better this year, because it won't be easy to be less productive, but he's a 37-year-old who has missed 92 games over the last three seasons.
The Sens will cling to potential this year, so for those in deep leagues it could be fertile ground. Bobby Butler, Nikita Filatov, Stephane Da Costa, Nick Foligno, Peter Regin, Colin Greening and Erik Condra could all warrant a look at some point, but any of them could flame out and be entirely ineffective too. Filatov and Butler appear to be the best bets from that group, but they're late-rounders.
Falling in between the young and old in Ottawa, left winger Milan Michalek should be entering his prime, but injuries are taking their toll on him. He's missed 32 games over the last two seasons, and last year's 33 points represented a career-low.
For leagues that count penalty minutes, the Sens do have a couple of options that might help, centre Zenon Konopka and defenceman Matt Carkner, that are willing combatants and can fill the designated PIM role if that is how your roster would be best served.
The rebuilding process could be painful in Ottawa, at least for this season, while the Senators determine who can and can't help over the long haul. As a result, they might be an interesting team to pluck pieces from for fantasy, but risk exists with virtually everyone on the roster.

San Antonio, TX (Sports Network) - Tony Parker led six Spurs in double figures with 17 points while also dishing out seven assists as San Antonio routed the Houston Rockets, 114-92, on Friday.
Tim Duncan, Gary Neal, Manu Ginobili and Patty Mills added 12 points apiece, with Duncan also contributing 12 rebounds in San Antonio's third straight win and its eighth victory in nine games.
Tiago Splitter rounded out the Spurs' double-digit scorers with 15 points.
"I thought we moved the ball with great pace offensively. I really liked the way they shared the ball and moved the ball in that regard," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.
James Harden scored 29 points to pace the Rockets, who have dropped their last six road games. Patrick Patterson and Toney Douglas each contributed 10 points in defeat.
Parker led the way with eight points as the Spurs opened the game with a 12-2 run.
Harden answered with a personal 11-2 push to get the Rockets back within one, but they could not take the lead and trailed, 29-21, heading into the second quarter.
San Antonio again raced out of the gate in the second, starting the frame with an 11-3 swing to jump ahead, 40-24.
The Rockets would trail by double digits from there until an 8-0 run brought them within, 48-39, with about three minutes left in the half, on a Patterson jumper.
The Spurs, however, scored nine of the second quarter's final 15 points to take a 57-45 advantage into the break.
Houston was not able to cut its deficit to single figures again until Harden netted seven straight points around a Duncan jumper before stealing an errant Danny Green pass and feeding Jeremy Lin for a breakaway layup, making it a 66-58 game with 7 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter.
But the remainder of the frame belonged to the Spurs, who scored the next 15 points to run out to an 81-58 lead and used a 68.4 percent shooting performance in the third quarter to carry an 87-66 advantage into the fourth.
San Antonio's bench stretched its lead up to as much as 33 in the fourth as the Spurs cruised to the victory.
"They're a very good team, especially at home. They did a good job of moving the ball," Harden said about San Antonio. "We knew they were going to pass the ball. It was just a matter of us really locking down and trying to stay on one page defensively."
The Spurs have won seven of the last 10 meetings between the teams and six
straight in San Antonio ... The Spurs shot 55.2 percent from the floor in the
game while holding Houston to just 38.9 percent shooting ,,, Lin finished with
four points on 2-of-9 shooting ... San Antonio held a 50-37 advantage on the
glass and a 60-38 edge in points in the paint.

Award of Merit goes to Nick Nicholson
Sportsbooks - Online Sportsbook, Casino & Racebook All RSS Feeds
New York, NY (Sportsbooks) - Nick Nicholson, past president and CEO of Keeneland Association, will be presented with the Eclipse Award of Merit for a lifetime of outstanding achievement in thoroughbred racing. Eclipse Awards are voted on by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA), Daily Racing Form and the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters.
"I am truly honored and deeply appreciative to win the Eclipse Award of Merit," said Nicholson. "I am also quite surprised. Throughout my career, the opportunity to work in the Thoroughbred industry has been its own reward. I want to thank my wife and children (Susan, Nick Jr. and Trish) and all the kind and talented people with whom I have had the pleasure of working. This prestigious honor belongs as much to them as it does to me."
The 65-year-old Nicholson will pick up the honor at the 42nd annual Eclipse Awards on Saturday, Jan. 19 at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
"Nick Nicholson played a very significant role in expanding The Jockey Club's service to the industry, and he was deeply involved in the creation and launch of both Equibase and the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. He added to that legacy in numerous ways during his years at Keeneland. We are extremely honored to have him as a member of The Jockey Club, and this is certainly a richly deserved award," said Ogden Mills Phipps, chairman of The Jockey Club.
Nicholson recently completed 12 years as president and chief executive officer of Keeneland Association. Beginning in 1989 he served as executive vice president and executive director of The Jockey Club and earlier was executive vice president of the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association/Kentucky Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders.
"There are very few people in our industry who have achieved such success and commanded the respect of his peers as Nick Nicholson has," said Alex Waldrop, president and chief executive officer of the NTRA. "His contributions have touched all aspects of our sport; from racing, breeding and sales to improving the fan experience."
From 1975 to 1977 Nicholson was a staff member of the Democratic National Committee and then was executive assistant to Kentucky's U.S. Senator Wendell Ford from 1977 to 1981.

BIRDLAND – East Carolina wide receiver Dwayne Harris and Georgia linebacker Akeem Dent are among the group 35 players that the Falcons are hosting today in Flowery Branch for the teams' "local day."
"This is a pretty good group here," general manager Thomas Dimitroff said. "I'm looking forward to watching these guys. There are some very talented football players in the state of Georgia across the board at all positions."
In addition to the local day, the Falcons will use all of their 30 visits from players around the country. Wide receivers Jerrel Jernigan (Troy) and Torrey Smith (Maryland) visited on Monday and Tuesday. Defensive back Marcus Gilchrist (Clemson) was in on Wednesday.
"We'll get a chance to get them back on the grease boards with the coordinators and the position coaches," Dimitroff said.


text: Here in the US, modifiers don't want to do that sort of thing. The majority of us have an idea of what we want our cars to look like, and work toward it. Once we get there it basically stays there, with some small changes along the way My impression of Europe is that owners can't afford multiple cars. So in order to conform to whatever freaky style just came out of Belgium or wherever, they strip the car down and start over on a whole new, eye-grabbing theme. However, I want to say I really despise show cars. In my opinion, they aren't cars as much as lawn decoration. I enter shows I believe support the scene - not HIN or Streetcar Shootouts; those are for show cars. I enter the small but enjoyable club shows where I could care less if I get a trophy as long as there are people to talk to and tastefully modified rides that were driven there. I baby my cars. I hate rock chips and scratches but I put up with it because I modify my cars to make them more fun to drive, not to look at or have some jailbait bending over it for photos while I wipe away every speck of dust. I feel people who build show cars are modders who look at cars and ask, "what can I do to that car?" rather than, "what should I do to that car?" This leads to the bad examples that end up in shows. Overall, whenever there's a group of peers, there's going to be some level of conformity. It's unavoidable. But I'd rather conform to a clean and smooth look I can be proud of in ten years, than conform to an over the top look that I'll be wanting to change next season. Sean Girvan Honolulu, HI You make some good points and talk for the majority who only modify their cars once and want to get it right the first time. However, I was challenging our view of what's right. I was also challenging those who do rebuild their cars every year to be a little more experimental. Me Too I'm writing in response to the letter in the 9/06 issue about a shop taking four months to do a VR swap. I've also dealt with horrors of this nature. I had a '96 Golf and when the motor took a dump I figured it was a good time to do a swap. At the time, I didn't have the place or the time to do it. I had some cash so trusted the project to a local shop. Promises were made to me: "three weeks and you'll have it back." From the get-go I knew it'd be longer, but I was prepared to deal with it. After all, I know it's hard to keep schedules in a busy shop - I work in one myself. After several months I started to wonder if it would ever be done. I did the usual calling and stopping by at least five days a week. Finally, after eight long months the work was completed. When I heard I could pick it up I dropped everything and headed out there. But the car still wasn't done! After giving them a list of corrections and going without my car for two more weeks, I picked it up. They washed it for me and I was on my way. Since then I've been fixing things any experienced VW tech would have done in the first place. I recently sold the swap to a friend with a '86 Golf. He finished the same swap in six weeks. A couple of autobody techs with some spare hours after work finished it in four! If you want something done right, do it yourself. Ray Kopchinski Baltimore, MD There are some great tuners out there that offer exceptional service, and some that don't. The good ones might cost a little more, but you can see why. Meantime, many companies are complaining people buy cheap parts online and DIY fit them. Is it any wonder with experiences like this? Has anybody out there had a good experience with a shop that delivered on time and on budget? We obviously need to know who they are. « | 1 | 2 | 3 | » | View Full Article Enjoyed this Post?
