Huexotzinco Codex, 1531
The Huexotzinco Codex is an eight-sheet document on amatl, a pre-European paper made in Mesoamerica. It is part of the testimony in a legal case against representatives of the colonial government in Mexico, ten years after the Spanish conquest in 1521. Huexotzinco is a town southeast of Mexico City, in the state of Puebla. In 1521, the Nahua Indian people of the town were the allies of the Spanish conqueror Hernando Cortés, and together they confronted their enemies to overcome Moctezuma, leader of the Aztec Empire. After the conquest, the ...

Register to Vote
You must be on the electoral register to vote in elections...
In order to be added to the Register of Electors, you must make an application to the Elections Office. You are not automatically registered to vote, even if you pay council tax, or have registered to use other council services.
Make sure you're registered
A new electoral registration system starts across the country on Tuesday 10 June 2014.
- In the past, one person in the household was responsible for registering everyone who lived there.
- Under the new system – called Individual Electoral Registration (IER) – each person is responsible for their own registration.
What do you have to do?
If you're already registered, your electoral details will be compared to other records. If they match, you'll be automatically registered in the new system and you won't have to do anything.
If your details don't match for any reason, you'll need to register again. But don't worry; it's quick and easy to do it online. You can do this by clicking the following link
If you are on the register now, we'll send you a letter in July telling you if you're on the new register, or if you need to register again.
But DON'T wait until July if:
- you're not registered; or
- you're not sure if you're registered; or
- you have recently moved home or changed your name.
In these cases you need to register to vote straight away. If you're not sure if you're registered, don't worry about registering twice. We'll check for that.
From Tuesday 10 June 2014 you can register online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.
How do I register online?
It's free, quick and easy to register to vote online. You just need your national insurance number. It's on payslips, letters about benefits, tax returns, and other official correspondence.
If you can't find your national insurance number, see www.gov.uk/lost-national-insurance-number.
- Who Can Vote?
You can register to vote if you are:
- 16 years old or over;
- and a British citizen;
- an Irish, EU or Qualifying Commonwealth citizen.
If you are 16 or 17, you can only register to vote, BUT you are not allowed to vote until you are 18.
Please see the attachment below giving a full list of Commonwealth and European Union countries. If you are a citizen of one of these countries, and resident in the UK, you are eligible to register to vote in UK elections. To qualify, Commonwealth citizens must be resident in the UK and either have leave to remain in the UK or not require such leave. The definition of a Commonwealth citizen includes citizens of British Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories.
Citizens of the European Union, who are not Commonwealth citizens, can vote in European and Local Elections in the UK, but are not able to vote in UK Parliamentary general elections.

Moller International has developed the first and only feasible, personally affordable, personal vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle the world has ever seen.
You've always known it was just a matter of time before the world demanded some kind of flying machine which would replace the automobile. Of course, this machine would have to be capable of VTOL, be easy to maintain, cost effective and reliable. Well, we at Moller International believe we have come up with the solution. That solution is the volantor named Skycar 400 (previously called the M400 Skycar).
Let's compare the Skycar 400 with what's available now, the automobile. Take the most technologically advanced automobile, the Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati, Lamborghini, or the more affordable Acura, Accord, or the like. It seems like all of the manufacturers of these cars are touting the new and greatly improved "aerodynamics" of their cars. Those in the aerospace industry have been dealing with aerodynamics from the start. In the auto industry they boast of aerodynamics, performance tuned wide track suspensions, electronic ignition and fuel injection systems, computer controllers, and the list goes on. What good does all this "advanced engineering" do for you when the speed limit is around 60 MPH and you are stuck on crowded freeways anyway?
Can any automobile give you this scenario? From your garage to your destination, the M400 Skycar can cruise comfortably at 275 MPH (maximum speed of 375 MPH) and achieve up to 20 miles per gallon on clean burning, ethanol fuel. No traffic, no red lights, no speeding tickets. Just quiet direct transportation from point A to point B in a fraction of the time. Three dimensional mobility in place of two dimensional immobility.
No matter how you look at it the automobile is only an interim step on our evolutionary path to independence from gravity. That's all it will ever be.
Moller International's Skycar 400 is the next step.
While we maintain that the Skycar will be usable on the road, for short distances and at low speeds, where it will excel is in the air. It will be a great aircraft, combined with its vertical take-off and landing capabilities, it is going to be a fantastic Personal Air Vehicle (PAV).
At the Air Races
To give you some idea of how the Skycar performs in the air, see the video below. This animated simulation created by Jesse Levin shows the Skycar in Red Bull colors during an air race. The video was captured from the Microsoft Flight Simulator software package while using the free M400 Skycar aircraft plugin. Fantastic job, Jesse. Really gives us a glimpse into the future of personal aviation!
Development Objectives & Analysis
For a more comprehensive overview of our development objectives, please click on the link below:
Moller International was requested to determine if it could integrate its vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) technologies into a vehicle that would be more car-like than its Skycar® or Neuera™ vehicles. The purpose of this new vehicle would be primarily on the ground and on conventional roadways, but its novelty would be to have the ability to "pop-up" out of traffic and fly to a near-by, less crowded area. This scenario was given and the legalities were dismissed, therefore we were free to design a vehicle with the appeal of a modern roadster and the combined road-and-airborne capabilities of a volantor.
Today's typical vehicle design flow incorporates a series of distinct stages. The initial phase includes the functional specification and system design, followed by the specification and design of all components. Moving into the prototype stage, components are tested and verified against specification. However, it is not until the full system integration and verification phase, when physical components are connected for the first time, that any problems arising from the functional specification and system design stages become apparent.
For the initial design phase of the autovolantor we chose to use the Ferrari 599 GTB (shown modified below) for the basic fuselage. It had the general shape and layout we were looking for and using it allowed us to quickly modify a readily available scale model and run wind tunnel tests to establish the technical feasibility of the project. At first we were very skeptical that we could adapt a ground-vehicle with our VTOL technologies and make it work, but the model allowed us to quickly verify that it could in fact be done. For a final design we would, however, start fresh and design an entirely unique body, but for the first cut, the Ferrari 599 GTB had the front and rear decks that could accommodate our engine mounting requirements.
The timeline for development of the vehicle was analyzed and we estimated that we could produce a prototype-flying vehicle in approximately 6 months given sufficient funding. The budget was determined to be approximately $5 million. The party that was initially interested ran into financial problems, so we are on-hold with this project at this time.
When operating on the ground the autovolantor is powered by batteries alone for the first 35 miles. Beyond 35 miles one of the engines is used to provide power for electrically driven wheels. No gearboxes are required as the fans are connected to the motor/engine shafts directly. Speed and stability in the air are controlled by a set of redundant computer systems. Small vanes in the exit area of the ducts can direct the air back or down for vertical take-off and landing. The autovolantor maneuvers at low speed like a helicopter, tilting its nose down to move forward, rolling right or left to maneuver sideways. At higher speeds it operates like an airplane. Since the vehicle is not aerodynamically stable until it reaches higher speeds, the control system constantly monitors the attitude of the vehicle and maintains stability through duct thrust control.
In a proposed hybrid version 60% of the installed power is from state-of-the-art batteries while the other 40% is from rotary engines. For take-off and hovering 670 hp is required, so auxiliary electric motors kick in and provide the additional hp for up to 90 seconds. The minimum time required for take-off and transition is 22 seconds. Allowing for a 20% reserve for engine failure, acceleration, and control, ~800 hp in total power is installed, 320 hp from engines and 480 hp from electric motors.
All of our power and range assumptions are based on using gasoline for fuel, although the Rotapower engine runs equally well on other "light" fuels such as ethanol, CNG, etc. "Heavy" fuels such as diesel or JP-8 require a different fuel delivery system.
Ground speeds are projected to be up to 80 mph, and maximum air speed would be 165 mph. The maximum all-airborne range is 104 miles at 9.6 mpg and maximum all-ground range is 545 miles at 45.4 mpg. Our analysis indicates that miles per gallon vary for the 12 gallon fuel capacity. A typical 50-mile flight plus 300 mile ground trip would result in 29.3 mpg, while a 10-mile flight plus 486 mile ground trip would provide 41.3 mpg. Range on batteries alone is 35.5 miles (assuming an 85% discharge). If the industry is able to double the battery energy storage capacity over the next two years (a goal of the GM Volt and other Hybrid automobile programs) it could extend the autovolantor's battery powered ground range to 70 miles.
While maximum altitude for this vehicle could be much higher, the practical height limits for a short-flight-duration aircraft like the autovolantor are relatively low, and would probably be just above city buildings and well below other air traffic.
Cost Effective Performance
From its inception the Skycar 400 has been designed to minimize both direct and indirect costs. The Skycar uses an engine that can burn almost any fuel from diesel to natural gas so that worldwide refueling can be accommodated by what is locally available. Using gasoline, the Skycar can be expected to get over 20 mpg. With a range of 750 miles, the logistics associated with refueling the shorter-range helicopter can be eliminated.
The Rotapower engines have only two major moving parts, weigh less than 80 pounds and occupy less than one cubic foot. The bulk of the remaining technology is electronic and replaceable in modules as the onboard redundant systems identify a failed or failing component.
Vehicle size greatly affects ground mobility and parking space required. The Skycar, with its compact size, can be stored in a space the size of a standard single car garage. The landing gear on the vehicle makes roadability possible for short distances.
Initially introduced as the M400, four-seat model, the Skycar 400 technology has the ability to be both scaled up to a six passenger, M600, or scaled down to a one passenger, M100. This allows a cost efficient vehicle size to accommodate a variety of military, paramilitary, and commercial transport missions.
Time Critical Performance
The Skycar's combined VTOL and speed capability make extremely rapid response possible. Search and Rescue, Emergency Medical, Drug Interdiction, Surveillance, or Critical Personnel Transport are examples where minutes saved can literally mean the difference between success and failure, life and death, or thousands of dollars. Helicopters have traditionally offered the flexibility necessary in these applications allowing for ingress and egress into a limited space where fixed wing aircraft do not have access. The performance penalties for using helicopters as compared to fixed wing aircraft have been a low maximum cruise speed of approximately 125 mph, a limited range of around 300 miles, and a restricted operational ceiling of less than 15,000 ft.
A Skycar 400, by utilizing its VTOL capability, has the flexible access of the helicopter. In addition, it has the 375 mph maximum speed, 750-mile range, and 36,000 foot ceiling of a high performance aircraft. The Skycar can also climb at more than a vertical mile per minute.
Potential Military Applications for the Skycar.pdf
Moller is currently working with the FAA to obtain certification of the M400 Skycar under the "powered lift normal" category. The airworthiness criteria manual, which governs the certification tests, was drafted by a team of FAA personnel and industry representatives. Moller International is a member of this team.
In addition, the FAA has established a "powered lift" pilot's license. This, together with a thorough familiarization, will be required to pilot a Skycar, primarily to ensure adequate flight management and navigational skills. A Skycar is not piloted like a traditional fixed wing airplane and has only two hand-operated controls, which the pilot uses to inform the redundant computer control system of his or her desired flight maneuvers.
The FAA has established a "powered-lift" pilot's license. This, together with a thorough familiarization with the flight controls of the Skycar, will be required for its safe operation, primarily to ensure adequate flight management and navigational skills. A Skycar is not piloted like traditional fixed or rotary wing aircraft. It has only two hand-operated controls that the pilot uses to direct the redundant computer control system to carry out his or her desired flight maneuvers.
The left hand controls a pressure sensitive pad with right and left segments (similar to a computer mouse). The degree of finger pressure on the right segment of the pad determines the rate of climb. When finger pressure ceases, rate of climb stops and is maintained by a radar altimeter. Finger pressure on the left segment determines rate of descent, except when the aircraft is very near the ground where descent rate is pre-programmed. The right hand operates a joystick for multi-modal directional and speed control. On the ground the stick provides directional steering (by twisting), braking (pull back) and acceleration (push forward).
After the Skycar takes off vertically, the right-hand-controlled stick provides all flight movement: speed and longitudinal direction are achieved by tilting the stick forward or backwards. Lateral movement in and near hover is achieved by tilting the stick sideways, which also provides banked turns during cruising flight. Directional control in and near hover is achieved by twisting the stick. Flight coordination is not needed since it is provided by the on-board flight control system (FCS).
The link below is to a general overview of the safety issues with VTOL aircraft, and in particular the Skycar 400:
The M600 LAMV
The M600 Light Aerial Multi-purpose Vehicle (LAMV) is an aircraft with the vertical take-off and landing capabilities of a helicopter and the maximum speed of a high performance aircraft and without the limitations of either. Using these capabilities the M600 can shave critical minutes from a variety of missions where operational flexibility and speed are imperative. Forces using the LAMV would have unmatched speed and agility in positioning and repositioning from widely dispersed locations allowing them to achieve operational objectives quickly and decisively.
Moller International's low-cost, small unit VTOL aircraft incorporate many of the features of the V-22 Osprey, without the accompanying complexities. Like the V-22, the Skycar combines a high cruise speed (265 knots for the M600) with the ability to land and take off vertically from "unimproved" landing areas. The VTOL payload of the M600 is 1,250 lbs, which allows for up to six passengers or a combination of crew and cargo. Suggested configuration for Search and Rescue (SAR) or medical evacuation (Medivac) missions is a pilot and a medic, with space for two injured. Where a short take off or landing (STOL) is possible a 200-foot rollout provides for net payloads of over 2,000 lbs.
The M600's combined VTOL and airspeed capabilities provide extremely rapid response. SAR, medivac, drug interdiction, critical logistic supply deliveries, surveillance or special personnel transport are examples where minutes saved can literally mean the difference between success and failure, life and death, or thousands of dollars. For a more detailed discussion of the capabilities see "A Revolutionary Vehicle for the Future" by Colonel Larry Harman (USA-Ret), Director of the Combat Service Support Battle Laboratory at the Army Combined Arms Support Command at Fort Lee, Virginia or "Winning an Asymmetric War with the Skycar" by LTC James P Thomas, 304th SB, 3rd Expeditionary Force, Sustainment Command LNO, Joint Base Balad, Iraq.
The M600 is being developed by Moller International to meet guidelines suggested by representatives of the US military. Helicopters have traditionally offered the flexibility of VTOL applications allowing for ingress and egress into a limited space where fixed wing aircraft do not have access. The performance penalties for using helicopters as compared to fixed wing aircraft have been low speed, limited range and restricted operational ceiling. In aircraft like the M600, vectored thrust allows the use of all the installed engine power when in conventional flight. The high thrust-to-weight ratio allows outstanding climb, accelerations and decelerations, and maneuver. For example, the M600's projected maximum climb rate is more than a mile per minute.
Moreover, the M600's engines have many of the characteristics of turbine-powered aircraft without the accompanying complexity and massive fuel consumption of the latter. For example, in cruise the M600 burns only 1 pound of fuel per minute. Moller's M600 operational characteristics are predicted to provide a maximum dash speed of 395 mph, a range of 750 miles, and operational altitude of over 25,000 ft.
The M600 could also meet the requirements of commercial high-value cargo delivery, air taxi and emerging VTOL transportation service providers.
Modified Civilian Models
The Skycar technology was developed for civilian applications, however the aircraft's combination of VTOL and high speed overcome its payload restrictions and make it a likely choice for many non-combat oriented military missions. Modified 1-, 2-, 4- and 6-passenger models may allow the Skycar technology to play a key role in logistical support, search and rescue, medical evacuation, intelligence gathering, command and control and other missions.
Stiletto - A single-seat, high-speed, VTOL-capable aircraft intended for reconnaissance and special operations.
Conquestor - A two-seat, high-speed, VTOL-capable aircraft intended for reconnaissance, special operations and search & rescue missions.
Simulated Reconnaissance Patrol
Below is a great animation made by Jesse Levin using the free Microsoft Flight Simulator Skycar M400 plug-in. Like his "Flight to the Hamptons", this video features the Skycar in action, but instead of New York you'll see the Skycar in a simulated Middle Eastern town that has been set up at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, which is a major training center for the United States Marine Corps. Great job, Jesse!

How can we improve the odds for brown hyenas and other carnivores in South Africa's Pilanesberg National Park?
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
We design our Earthwatch Teen Expeditions specifically and exclusively for 15- to 18-year-olds. They're unlike any other experience a teenager can have.
Do something special this summer: track carnivores in the wilds of South Africa and meet fascinating people from around the world.
Carnivores that usually scavenge for their meals, like brown hyenas and black-backed jackals, play a vital role in maintaining balance in their environment. But they also regularly conflict with people like ranchers, who think of them as a danger to livestock.
Journey to South Africa's Pilanesberg National Park and the unprotected land around it (less than 2.5 percent of the North West province of South Africa, where Pilanesberg is located, is officially protected, so most carnivores live on privately owned land where humans can hunt them). You'll help see how carnivore populations are faring and what local people think about them, which will help researchers develop strong strategies to protect these species in the future.
You'll check camera traps, which automatically take photos of animals that pass by them, to get an idea of what species live in an area. You'll hike and look for traces of carnivores, and try to catch a glimpse the animals themselves at night when the team drives into the wilderness with a spotlight to catch creatures in action. And you'll have free time to get to know your teammates and take in the African sunset.
All Earthwatchers work on word-class research and visit interesting places. On our teen expeditions, you also get:
Conduct wildlife surveys looking for hyenas and jackals.
This is a summary:
Each day of an Earthwatch teen expedition offers a balance of hands-on research and the chance to explore your surroundings and get to know the scientists and your teammates. Your team is led not only by professional researchers but also by at least one Earthwatch facilitator, who will always be around to help you get the most out of your experience.
Your team will explore a wilderness teeming with animals, particularly looking for brown hyenas and other scavengers, species that are critically important to the ecosystem. To study these fascinating animals, you will help:
Look out for scavenger tracks, droppings, feeding sites and dens.
Your team will camp in the heart of Mankwe Wildlife Reserve, where white rhinos and zebras graze on the savanna grasses. Mankwe is just a short drive from Pilanesberg National Park, where you'll also spend a lot of time during the expedition. Depending on the size of the team, you'll stay in a house, cabins, or comfortable safari tents (each with a shower and flush toilet).
Team members will share meals in a group dining area. A skilled cook will prepare international and local cuisine, so you'll get to try regional specialties like poitjiekos (game stew) and braai (South African barbecue).

Research: Kudzu bugs may pose greater threat
click image to zoomKudzu bug. The invasive kudzu bug has the potential to be a major agricultural pest, causing significant damage to economically important soybean crops. Conventional wisdom has held that the insect pests will be limited to areas in the southern United States, but new research from North Carolina State University shows that they may be able to expand into other parts of the country.
Kudzu bugs (Megacopta cribraria) are native to Asia, and were first detected in the U.S. in Georgia in 2009. They have since expanded their territory as far north as Virginia. The bugs have an interesting life cycle, which has been thought to be a limiting factor on far they can spread.
Eggs laid in the spring hatch into a first generation, which we'll call "Generation A." The immature bugs of Generation A normally feed on kudzu plants until they reach adulthood, when they have been known to move into commercial soybean fields. These mature adults lay eggs that hatch into Generation B during the summer months. Generation B kudzu bugs can feed on soybean crops during both their immature and adult life stages, causing significant crop damage.
Because the immature Generation A kudzu bugs have only been seen to feed on kudzu, researchers thought that the pest would not be able to migrate to northern and western parts of the United States, where kudzu doesn't grow. But now it's not so clear.
Under controlled conditions in a greenhouse laboratory, researchers at NC State found that immature Generation A kudzu bugs were not limited to feeding on kudzu – they were able to feed exclusively on soybeans, reach maturity and reproduce.
"Researchers began seeing some of this behavior in the wild in 2012 and, while those data aren't quite ready for publication, our lab work and the field observations indicate that kudzu bugs are potentially capable of spreading into any part of the U.S. where soybeans are grown. And soybeans are grown almost everywhere," says Dr. Dominic Reisig, an assistant professor of entomology at NC State and co-author of a paper on the research. "It also means that both annual generations of kudzu bugs could attack soybean crops in areas where the bug is already established, which would double the impact on farmers."
The paper, "First-Generation Megacopta cribraria (Hemiptera: Plataspidae) Can Develop on Soybeans," is a "rapid communication" article in the April issue of the Journal of Economic Entomology. Lead author of the paper is NC State doctoral student Alejandro Del Pozo-Valdivia. The research was supported by the United Soybean Board and the North Carolina Soybean Producers Association.

Pitcures would be nice.
I am an Aerial Applicator and was visiting a grower yesterday (4/17/2013) in Green County, NC and there were Kudzu bugs flying all around us.
I have a years experience with the kudzu bug. We may see two generations of Nymps on our early planted soybeans. I sure hope not so we don't have to spray twice. It is very important not to jump the gun on spraying the adults and wait for the Nymps to spray. I had them in beans that were six inches tall last year (adults only) in May but they flew away and came back later and raised Nymps. That is when you spray so you don't kill all the beneficial insects.This is for farmers info I know the guys at NC State Know these things. Thanks Dr. Resig for all the research. This bug is adapting very well and we all are going to learn more in the coming years.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 9, 2012)—Due to unanticipated declines in field size and, subsequently, all sources handle, Betfair Hollywood Park announced Saturday reductions in purses will begin Thursday. Entries for those races will take place Sunday.
Non-claiming and maiden allowance races will be cut $2,000. While claiming races will be reduced $1,000, they will remain – in nearly all cases – higher or close to the same levels that were offered during the Winter/Spring meet at Santa Anita that concluded April 22.
Additionally, the purses of three upcoming stakes will be reduced. The Grade I American Oaks, which will be run for the 11th time Saturday, July 14, has been cut from $400,000 to $350,000. Both the Landaluce and the Grade III Hollywood Juvenile Championship, which will also be part of the July 14 program, have dropped from $200,000 to $150,000.
Even with the reductions, the purses for the American Oaks, Landaluce and Hollywood Juvenile Championship are larger than what was offered in 2011. The purse for last year's American Oaks was $250,000 while the Landaluce and Hollywood Juvenile Championship were $100,000 races.

Truman Posted September 19, 2012 By Sidney Milkis Presidents and Constitutional Refoundings: Is a new political order on the horizon? First page of Constitution of the United States. Public Domain. As we celebrate this week the 225th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution in 1787 at the Constitutional Convention, it is a fitting time to think seriously about the critical, but uneasy relationship of executive power and the rule of law that has existed since the founding. America's most revered statesmen – Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and Roosevelt – all reveal that democratic leadership involves a vital connection between leaders and led. It requires first of all that the leader remain answerable to his followers. Even as the president takes bold initiatives and ignores public opinion in the short-run, he must enable his followers to hold him accountable in ways that are practicable and timely. Furthermore, extraordinary democratic statesmanship is not displayed in isolation. Party building and partisan leadership has been central to this task of civic education. Washington apart, America's most celebrated statesmen were all central to either the creation or reconstruction of political parties. Episodically, periods of partisan realignment have given presidents the political strength to embark on ambitious projects of national reform. These episodes, though they may appear to threaten our Constitution, have a revolutionary quality to them. These great political transformations have engaged the American people in popular contests over the meaning of their rights and how to protect them. Presidential statesmanship has provided a critical ingredient to these harsh partisan contests. They have required presidents to think constitutionally: to interpret the meaning of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the relationship between these two sacred political texts for their own time. In this sense, our most important presidents have truly been constitutional refounders, justifying Jefferson's exalted, elusive hope that the Constitution would "belong to the living."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 13, 2009) — Informed, claimed for $25,000 a year ago, rallied under Tyler Baze to score a 14-1 upset in Saturday's $250,000 Californian at Hollywood Park, establishing himself as a major contender for the TVG/Betfair Hollywood Gold Cup on July 11.
Trainer Doug O'Neill, who has saddled four Gold Cup winners with four starters, won three of them with Lava Man, a $50,000 claim. Lava Man's first Gold Cup triumph came after O'Neill sent him out to capture the 2005 Californian.
Informed, a 5-year-old son of Tiznow, overhauled favorite Rail Trip just inside the sixteenth pole and went on to win by the Grade II event by three-quarters of a length, covering 1 1/8 miles on Cushion Track in 1:48.37.
Rail Trip, who gained the lead from Ball Four on the turn for home, held off late-running Dakota Phone by a head for second money. It was another neck back to Song of Navarone in fourth and a half-length to Awesome Gem in fifth. Ball Four was another half-length back in sixth in the field of ten, followed by Ukiah, Unusual Smoke, Mr Napper Tandy and Aitcho. Mast Track and Limestone Edge were scratched.
Informed, who paid $30.20, $11.40 and $6.40, was long coveted by Baze, who had not ridden him previously. He was only beaten a nose by Cowboy Cal in the Grade II San Pasqual Handicap at Santa Anita Park in January.
"This is a horse with a big heart," Baze said. "He's got that one three-eighths-mile run. I knew if I could time it right, not move him too early or too late, I could get him there."
Informed, fourth in the Alysheba in his previous start on May 1 at Churchill Downs, finished in a dead heat for fourth in the San Antonio Handicap in February and seventh in the Godolphin Mile at Nad Al Sheba in March.
"Even before Dubai, I told Leandro (Mora) and Doug, 'I should be on this horse, I can win with him,'" Baze said. "I watched his replays several times and I finally got the opportunity to ride him today. I never even worked him before today. It was like a puzzle. We put the pieces together and it all worked out."
Informed, owned by Mark Verge, Josh Kaplan, Glenn Sorgenstein and Russ Sarno, was claimed from his ninth start here on June 26, 2008, when he won by 8 ¼ lengths. He has won three of 11 starts since then and is five-of-19 overall. The winner's check of $150,000 was his biggest payday by far, boosting his earnings to $356,339.
"This is such a great group of owners," O'Neill said. "They had the opportunity to go into the Directors' Room, get a free buffet and open bar. He's an extremely talented horse but he's been a little bit inconsistent. This race was definitely something we were trying out and shooting for the stars.
"I thought this was a wide open race," he added. "Rail Trip we knew was a brilliant horse, but I, like some people, questioned if a mile and one-eighth was his ideal distance. I thought he was maybe a little bit vulnerable. Ball Four ran such a big race, but he kind of had the race to himself last time. It was a wide open race, and we've seen Informed run good enough to make sense to give him a chance. Unless they close the Directors' Room, we'll be back (in the Gold Cup). He deserves a chance back, that's for sure."
Ron Ellis, trainer of Rail Trip, was disappointed but encouraged despite the setback.
"I thought he ran awesome," Ellis said. "He turned the tables on Ball Four. It's just a tough situation when you have two speed horses in there, and it cost him in the end. Without Ball Four in the race, I think we're an easy winner. We'll see about the Gold Cup. I want to see how he comes out of this. I'm not sure if farther is better for him."
One horse that would have enjoyed added distance Saturday was third-place finisher Dakota Phone, who was eighth with a furlong to run.
"He always tries real hard," jockey Rafael Bejarano said. "I had a good position and thought I had a good chance but that other horse never quit and was still running to the end."
Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, who combined to win the Californian with Bejarano and Heatseeker last year only to have his horse injured a few days before the Gold Cup, plans to enter Dakata Phone this year.
"Yes, for sure," he said when asked about the Grade I classic, which will be contested at 1 ¼ miles.
Rail Trip, a winner of five of seven starts with a pair of seconds, paid $4.20 and $2.60. The show price on Dakota Phone was $3.60. With several other upsets besides that of Informed, there was only one perfect Pick Six ticket. Purchased at Canterbury Downs in Minnesota, it was worth $344,646. There was a carryover of $83,719 entering Saturday. An additional $469,989 was wagered.
Bejarano rode three winners and leads the standings by a 50-48 margin over Joel Rosario, who rode two winners including Obrigado in the $100,000 Round Table Handicap.
Obrigado, a 6-year-old French-bred, covered 1 ¾ miles on the Lakeside Turf Course in 2:54.49 while snapping a 15-race winless streak dating to the 2007 San Luis Obispo Handicap. He finished 3 ¼ lengths clear of Porfido in the Grade III event.
"They were going a little fast for a mile and three quarters — :24 and :48," Rosario said. "My horse comes from off the pace and it was perfect for him. I was following Porfido because he was the horse to beat. This horse has been running against some nice horses. This was a lot easier company for him."
Obrigado, owned by Gary Seidler and Peter Vegso, won for the sixth time in 31 starts while boosting his earnings to $666,504 with the winner's check of $60,000. The Neil Drysdale trainee paid $4.20 to win.
Martin Garcia also rode a pair of winners, while O'Neill saddled two to pad his lead atop the trainers' standings (26-15 over John Sadler).
As Jose Valdiva Jr., the rider of Rail Trip, said after The Californian, "You just can't beat Doug O'Neill right now."

1. With the high winds the summit gets, I would assume that the snow doesn't gather on the deck to the point it has to be shoveled off. Since I see wind speeds in excess of 100 MPH after it stops snowing does it just blow itself off the deck area?? I mean, if you waited 12 hours after it stops how much shoveling is neccessary?
2. What is the greatest amount of snow fall recorded for one storm...and how long did it snow for?
3. Do you guys ever get just a gentle snow fall (no wind) or is it usually accompanied by strong winds??

Long-Range Affordable EV Won't Be Easy
24 comments post a comment
Makers of electric vehicles are beginning to talk publicly about the next big step: building an affordable long-range car.
Recently, a GM executive hinted that it has set a goal of creating a $30,000 electric car with a 200-mile range. In June, Tesla chairman Elon Musk similarly said that his company is hoping to build a "smaller version of the Model S at about half the price." That would amount to an EV with a 200-mile range and a price tag between $35,000 and $40,000.
The national media, of course, are giddy about this. If you type electric car, GM, Tesla, and 200 into Google, you'll quickly be overwhelmed with articles. Many see it as a Tesla-versus-GM story. Never mind the fact that the two automakers don't feel that way. The stories have seized national attention.

10 Fridge-Clearing Pasta Bakes That Will Warm Up the Kitchen
Recipes from The Kitchn
A pasta bake is a wonderful thing. You make it for dinner one night and can enjoy the leftovers for lunches and quick meals during the entire following week. Any odds and ends from the fridge can be folded into the casserole and are all the better for it. And baking one on a chilly night makes the kitchen a warm and cozy place, drawing everyone in the house with its mouthwatering aromas and promise of a very good dinner.
Pasta casseroles have a reputation for being indulgent cheese-laden comfort foods, but this doesn't necessarily have to be the case. In fact, a casserole like this is a great place to pack in a lot of vegetables, like our Double-Spinach Pasta Casserole or the Pumpkin and Ricotta Pasta Casserole. Also, check out the Big Hearted Macaroni and Cheese for a clever way to add creaminess with a few onces of silken tofu.
This said, cheese really does make a pasta casserole what it is. We won't tell if you add an extra handful of cheddar or sprinkle a little more Parmesan over the top.
Here are our ten most favorite pasta bakes, full of everything from goat cheese and chard to prosciutto and mozzarella. If what you have in your fridge doesn't quite match up with any of them, try your hand at making your own free-form fridge-clearing pasta bake:
• 1 Chicken and Swiss Chard Pasta Bake
• 2 Double Spinach Pasta Casserole with Pesto & Asiago Cheese
• 3 Tomato, Broccoli and Mozzarella Pasta Casserole
• 4 Goat Cheese and Swiss Chard Pasta Casserole
• 5 Big Hearted Macaroni and Cheese with Artichokes
• 6 Chicken and Tomato No-Boil Pasta Bake
• 7 Pumpkin and Ricotta Pasta Casserole
• 8 Easy Pasta Bake with Prosciutto, Tomato Sauce & Mozzarella
• 9 Grown-Up Tuna Noodle Casserole
• 10 Lighter Stuffed Pasta Shells

LOVVVVE casseroles! One of my favorites is an easy, soup-less Mexican chicken and rice casserole (I call it "Nacho Mamma's Rice Casserole".) Mix up leftover chicken, rice, salsa and reduced fat sour cream (plus beans or frozen corn), top with grated cheese and bake. Most of the creaminess comes from the sour cream, though I agree that cheese is always a good thing in casseroles.
pasta bake is the perfect idea for these semi-cold days. I have some vegan cheez I want to use and see how it fares in this mileu.
These casseroles are going on my "to try" list. I also can't wait to try the "Nacho Mamma's Rice Casserole". I almost always have those things on hand!
Wow, these all look great - especially the Goat Cheese & Swiss Chard casserole. It looks creamy, hearty, and salty (in a good way!). I've also been working on clearing out my fridge and pantry - a daunting task!:
This is called Pasta Someway at our house. Just like Chicken Someway. When asked what is for dinner I just reply 'Pasta Someway, not sure how but someway". Uses up lots of leftovers that way.
I've made the chicken and chard casserole before and we really enjoyed it! Plus it's easily adaptable for any green you may have on hand. One of my favorite casseroles is an old church potluck favorite only known as Company Casserole. It's just pasta, jarred spaghetti sauce, ground beef, and a mixture of sour cream, cottage cheese, and cream cheese (plus some mozzarella for the type). Health it is not, but boy is it full of creamy, comforty deliciousness! With some fresh mushrooms and italian sausage added in, it's weeknight dinner perfection!
Just made the Chicken and Tomato No-Boil Pasta Bake this evening. The whole family loved it! Everyone please go make it immediately! Game changer! :)
That is exactly what's happening for lunch over here. Some leftover steak from yesterday, some delicious game sauce from the day before, some mushrooms, fresh thyme and maybe a spoonful of mustard and/or gherkins (to be stroganoffy), eggy pasta and hello weekend laziness!

10 Game-Changing Cleaning Products
From major technological advances like the first dishwasher to simple innovations like microfiber cloths, these big innovations changed the way we clean our homes — for the better.
By Nicole Price Fasig
Pledge Furniture Polish
Gone are the days when cleaning the dining room table or bookshelves meant applying messy paste or liquid wax, waiting for it to dry, and buffing until the wood shone. For more than 50 years, Pledge has been making wood care as simple as spraying and wiping. The first aerosol furniture polish, this formula promises to dust, clean, moisturize, and protect furniture quickly and easily. We may take this easy cleaning for granted now, but Pledge cut hours — and lots of work — out of getting your living room company-ready.
