text: Riding The Tiger "I discovered that being a President is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or be swallowed." Harry S. Truman Posted March 5, 2013 By Carah Ong Hitchcock: Obama's National Security Policy Resembles Eisenhower's General Dwight Eisenhower during his visit in Warsaw, capital of Poland. Picture taken on the Old Town Square, destroyed in 1944 by German forces after supression of Warsaw Uprising (1944). Photo by the Central Photographic Agency (CAF) in Warsaw. PD Will Hitchcock, the Miller Center's new director of research and scholarship, was interviewed by CNN this week for an article comparing Barack Obama's national security policy to that of Dwight D. Eisenhower. According to Hitchcock, Obama would like to keep the United States out of war, "pursue peace through strength and cut defense spending. Those are all things that Eisenhower would have approved." Eisenhower also understood the devastating effects of war. According to Hitchcock, the former general "didn't want to be drawn into a conflict whose outcome he couldn't predict. He is not a guy who says avoid war at all costs; he would say pick your fights and make sure you can win them completely." Although he has not had any military experience, Obama has turned to people, such as Chuck Hagel and John Kerry, with similar beliefs and positions as Eisenhower. One of the biggest differences between Eisenhower and Obama is in their approach to cutting military spending. Hitchcock noted that Eisenhower entered the White House as an expert in world affairs and knew the military establishment well. According to Hitchcock: That is a big deal. Eisenhower almost felt that he knew how to push around the military establishment. He told them he was going to cut the military budget and he did and they complained, but he wouldn't let them boss him around. But Obama has yet to follow suit, Hitchcock said: Obama is not a budget hawk; maybe his hands are tied, but he hasn't been a budget hawk. He wants to cut the defense budgets now that the wars are coming to an end, but it is not as if the defense spending is driving the war strategy. Read the full article, "Obama's national security policy resembles Eisenhower's," on CNN.com. For more on Eisenhower's foreign and national security policy, be sure to join us at the Miller Center on March 21st for The Gordon and Mary Beth Smyth Forum on American History featuring Evan Thomas, who will discuss his book, Ike's Bluff.

Bass fishing in winter months can be very tough. Like humans and all other animals, bass do not like to move much in the winter and like to store up on food to avoid having to hunt as often.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (December 8, 2012)—Six players remain active in the $2,500 winner-take-all Show Me The Money contest at Betfair Hollywood Park.
The free challenge, which began November 8 with 2,409 players, requires a participant to choose one horse each racing day – in six designated races – at least 10 minutes prior to the first race. The selected horse must finish first, second or third for a player to continue.
The last player standing receives the cash prize. Should more than one contestant still be alive at the conclusion of racing December 16 – closing day of the Autumn meet – the winner will be decided by a tiebreaker. The first tiebreaker is number of wins.
Two Californians – Craig Mahl of Anaheim and Robert Patsky of Cherry Valley – are among the survivors through 19 days.
The others still playing are Wayne Benafield (Henderson, Nevada), Edward Kramer (West Palm Beach, Florida), Anthony Lee (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) and Dan Stepien (Ballston Spa, New York).
Kramer chose first race winner Vaundell Saturday while Patsky's selection was Flashback, a first time starter who won the seventh. The selection for Mahl and Benafield was Master Chef, who finished second in the fifth race. Fire in the Wind, the runner-up in the first, was Stepien's choice. Lee selected Baby Blake, who finished second in the eighth.
Four contestants were eliminated Saturday when Rock Off finished ninth in the eighth.

Rated 5 out of 5 by dana1432 love this bag Great bag, love the clay beige color. I want it in ivory too! March 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Emilia789 Quality Failed To preface what's coming, I initially LOVED this bag. The size is perfect and the design transitions well from day to night. Unfortunately, the bag is falling apart after less than 2 months of use. The leather has peeled up in the loop where the chain strap goes through. There is also some kind of plastic that is in the top band above the flap- that has broken as well. Note: This has been my everyday bag but I am hardly tough on my purses. Very disappointing quality for the price. December 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by deca Must have Perfect size, not too heavy, discrete and chic details, understated elegance, goes with everything day or night-my favorite TB shoulder bag. October 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SarahJay very classic, very versatile i am very happy with this bag. it is an excellent mid-size and can hold things like my ipad when i need it to, while also being small and convenient enough for quick trips. it goes with everything, and i cannot say enough about how classic and expensive the straps make the whole entire bag look. i love it, and even though i just got it a couple weeks ago it has already become a wardrobe staple. October 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mimi82 Perfect look, fabulous quality. I am not one to change bags with every outfit so each season I select a bag that will get me through as many outfits and day to day (and evening) activities as possible. I was a little on the fence when I first got this bag. I thought the leather was a little casual and wasn't crazy about the leather strip with the rivets. After two weeks I can tell you I am now very pleased with this bag. I realize the leather strikes a perfect balance with the gold chain to make it appropriate for day or night. The straps are very comfortable. At first I thought they would be too dressy...I am not one to accessorize with too much bling. This bag makes me feel well dressed no matter where I go or what I wear. And Tory's quality, as always, is excellent! September 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ashley92 So Classic I have gone back and forth on this bag for a while now, and I am so glad I finally pulled the trigger! It is the perfect size, so versatile, and it is both glamorous and casual. Worth every penny! September 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cole Perfect Shoulder Bag Typically I carry large bags so I was looking for something different and smaller while sill able to carry most of my belongings. This bag is perfect for everyday as I can fit my wallet, cosmetic bag, sunglasses and be out the door. The color is the perfect neutral to match anything. September 2, 2013

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Kenwood Excelon XR400-4 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Super-slim profile, big-time power Kenwood's Excelon XR400-4 4-channel amplifier adds clarity and punch to your car's audio system, as it powers each of your front and rear speakers with 75 watts RMS. As your system changes, you can also use the XR400-4 in 2-channel mode to drive a couple of subs with up to 200 watts RMS each. The XR400-4 can fit in many different places in your car because of its incredibly low profile — it's under 1-1/2" tall. Designed for optimum efficiency Kenwood packed this amp with space-saving features. Class D technology reduces the size of the power supply, while the internal heatsink is tilted to reduce height without compromising the amp's cooling system. Recessed power and speaker wire terminals help to further reduce the amp's footprint, protect the connections, and give your installation a neat, professional look. Controls for the best sound — bi-amp capable You can contour the sound with high- and low-pass filters so your speakers play efficiently and sound their best. The front and rear channels have separate gain and filter controls so you can adjust for different types of speakers. The XR400-4 also gives you the ability to "biamp" your system, amplifying the tweeters and woofers separately for greater power and control over the sound.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features CEA-2006 Compliant: CEA-2006 is a system of testing and measurement methods for mobile audio amplifiers. This voluntary standard advocates a uniform method for measuring an amplifier's RMS power output and signal-to-noise ratio. The criteria for measuring power uses a DC input voltage of 14.4 volts and the RMS power output is measured into a 4-ohm load, with 1% or less Total Harmonic Distortion plus noise (THD+N), and over a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, when applicable. Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4 ohms. CEA-2006 allows consumers to compare car amplifiers and receivers on an equal basis. Using CEA-2006 criteria, the Kenwood XR400-4 is rated at 75 Watts RMS x 4 channels with a 76 dBA signal to noise ratio. Specifications: The manual also lists these non CEA-2006 compliant specifications: Power: 2Ω: 100 watts x 4-channels (at 1 kHz, with no more than 1% THD, 14.4 volts) Bridged: 200 watts x 2-channels (into 4Ω at 1 kHz, with no more than 1% THD, 14.4 volts) Signal to Noise Ratio: 100 dB (at rated power) Class D Amplifier Design: The amplifier design is Class D, which uses digital switching power supplies. The result is much higher efficiency (less heat generated) than Class AB. 4-Channel Amp: The front and rear sections of the amplifier (labeled A and B) have independent gain and crossover controls. Crossovers: The front and rear crossovers can be independently set to high-pass, low-pass, or turned off (full range). The crossover points are continuously variable with a selectable range, from 50-200 Hz or 2.5-10 kHz and the slope is 12dB per octave. Aluminum Heat Sink: The aluminum heat sink increases the amplifier's heat dissipation efficiency, increasing the life of the amplifier. Controls: Input Selector: two position switch: AB: separate inputs are supplied for the front and rear channels A: the signal supplied to input A is fed to both front and rear outputs Input Sensitivity: 200mV-5V; front and rear independently adjustable Crossover: the front and rear channels have independent controls for these crossover functions: Mode: high-pass, low-pass, or off (full range) Frequency Range: low (50-200 Hz) or high (2.5-10 kHz) Frequency: continuously variable; 50-200 Hz or 2.5-10 kHz, depending on the setting of the frequency range switch Inputs and Outputs: Signal Input: two pair of RCA preamp inputs; front and rear (labeled A and B) Power: set screw terminal; accommodates bare wire up to 4-gauge Ground: set screw terminal; accommodates bare wire up to 4-gauge Remote Turn-on: set screw terminal; accommodates bare wire up to 10-gauge Speaker Output: four pair of set screw terminals (left and right A channels and left and right B channels); accommodate bare wire up to 10-gauge Fuses: two 30 amp mini blade fuses Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?)

Written By Mattdaddy82, Alamogordo,NM on Tuesday, August 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For the price this amp is amazing .. I usually go with a jl audio for my 4 channel but this one had decent reviews so I gave it a shot, that and my deck is an excelon .. I have this amp pushing a type r 6.5 component set in front and a alpine type r 5.25 set in rear .. More than enough power for all and the design profile is amazing it's small enough to fit under the dash in some applications .. I put mine under my seat so I can tune it easily Pros: Price, size , look Cons: Wish there were a bit more tuning options Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Nice amp Written By Jeffrey812, Sarasota FL on Monday, August 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It's a nice amp,clean power.The output watts are way over rated I am using the amp to power infinity kappa 6x8 speakers and i would say you would be lucky to get 50 watt RMS at 2 ohm.But that's plenty for me. Pros: Small footprint,Nice clean natural power Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Very Nice Written By William T., Orland Park, IL on Monday, June 30, 2014 Installed in a 2012 Sonata Turbo to power four Kenwood KFC-X173's. Plenty of power with clean sound. Small footprint is very nice. Pros: Clean power / small footprint Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Nice for the price Written By Negolien, Sacramento,CA on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 I purchased this as a refurb. The packaging was pretty bad to be honest. Not on par with the normal packaging I have received from Crutchfield. It seems the item was shipped back from Kenwood to Crutchfield in a box with no peanuts or wrapping of any kind thus the amp was slamming around inside a box about 2-3 inches larger than the amp all the way around. When it was shipped to me that box was stuffed into a much larger box filled with peanuts. Still slamming around inside the smaller box... Very poor Packing by the Shipping and receiving department. The item itself was a great product by a great Company. I paired this to run a pair of Polk DB461's and a pair of Infinity Kappa 93.11i's with a KAC-8105D that runs my 2 12" MTX JH45's. Superb value in size and features. The ability to run one set of RCA's in to power two separate pairs of speakers yet be able to use the pass filters = awesome. you can run 4 pairs of speakers on a 6 output headunit which is a super value if you want to run kicker area component speakers, door speakers and a sub. The amp itself worked fine for a refurb I have no issues and you can't beat it for the price. Both my amps are Kenwood's and they are great bang for the buck. I would not hesitate to recommend the product. Pros: Size is awesome a very very compact amp perfect for the two sets of cab speakers. Cons: A little pricay brand new but that's why I went for the refurb. Hey can't beat that price with a stick. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

It sounds amazing and has plenty of power. Pros: Easy connections. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent Product Written By Tom L, Avon, CO on Wednesday, October 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

In N. I lost
what had been dear to me.
I searched high and low
wondering where I'd left it
and gave up hope of finding it
and the fear of never finding it again.
I puzzled with downcast eyes,
forgot which way I had come
and then the smell of wood and tar, the color
of ashes,
and I forgot a year and a day,
sat on a bench in the park
for as long as I could remember,
could no longer find time,
no longer knew who I was, that man
sitting there so thoughtfully
as if he were thinking of something dear to him.
-Toon Tellegen, "I" from In N.
First it starts with the eyes to spare the man from witnessing his own vanishing. He would not believe it if he saw it. Then the hearing goes. This ensures that he does not hear his own groans, the complaint of the loved one telling him he's left his foot by the door. Then the memory recedes. The man cannot remember his foot or ever having a foot. The man does not remember seeing it attached, despite the failure of his vision. The man cannot recall hearing the floorboards creak beneath his weight. This makes the man sad, though he can't remember the cause of his sorrow. And so it goes… and so it goes.
-Oliver de la Paz, "How Domingo Disappears"
"to go without
comes naturally to me now, it costs me
almost nothing anymore.
I have let them go for so long,
and so profoundly,
that if you asked me about it I couldn't say
exactly what they were
and if I really wanted them. Their place
inside my head is empty.
Even the sense of missing them
has left no trace."
-Umberto Flori, from "Face"

Trent Baretta
Real Name
Gregory Marasciulo
Date of Birth
March 30, 1987
Place of Birth
There is some development in the bitter feud between WWE and CM Punk, it seems. When the former world heavyweight champion had his lawyers send a 22 page letter to the company about royalties, management responded by removing most of his products from their online store. Something might have changed backstage, as WWE is selling Punk merchandise again.
October 27, 2014
Rumors have long been floating around that there is some professional resentment from Randy Orton towards John Cena because he feels that WWE shows preferential treatment towards Cena. His recent comments on Twitter appear to confirm the speculations. Orton told fans that management only produces new merchandise for him after they make room for the Cena stuff.
October 26, 2014
If you're a big fan of Roman Reigns and want to see WWE continue to push him, then there's some really good news from the merchandise department. His products are the second best selling ones at live events across the country. Management uses that as a big gauge for who they continue to push. John Cena remains the leading seller by a landslide, however.
October 9, 2014
Some heavy speculations have arisen this week on the possible return of Steve Austin to WWE. Reports have surfaced that management has informed manufacturers to go heavy on products related to Stone Cold and informed distributors to prepare for a boost in merchandise coming through. No word yet on what Austin will be doing when he comes back, but there is a chance that it could just be a brief appearance.
September 26, 2014
Last week, CM Punk had his lawyers send a 22 page letter to WWE regarding his royalty payments, and it appears that the company is responding by quickly removing his merchandise from their online store and at live events. The belief is that management does not want to keep paying Punk money, but at the same time, they already spent money on creating the merchandise.
September 9, 2014
When the company moved CM Punk from their official roster to the alumni section yesterday, WWE created a bit of a stir. Things escalated even further when management removed his merchandise from the WWE Shop website. Apparently, there was some miscommunication within the company on the matter. All of his merchandise have been returned to the online store.
July 17, 2014
Long known as one of the most famous wrestlers in all of Japan, Masahiro Chono has signed a new deal with WWE. However, the contract is not for him to become an in ring performer for the company. Chono and WWE have an agreement that enables the international star to sell nWo related merchandise in Japan. Chono was a part of the stable and feels that now is a good time to bring the items back to the overseas market.
July 10, 2014
Earlier in this week, Zack Ryder revealed to fans that WWE is no longer selling his merchandise. The belief is that it is a part of the company's plan to diminish his name value for when they decide to release him from his contract. Since the start of the year, Ryder has only been utilized eight times on television, all of which were losses. He hasn't had a victory on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown since December of 2012, when he pinned David Otunga on Raw.
July 5, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Zack Ryder, informing fans that WWE is no longer selling any of his merchandise. Rumors have been circulating that the company wants to downplay his popularity, and this revelation lends credibility to those speculations. The fact that Ryder actually pointed it out in public is a sign that he could be really frustrated with his situation in WWE.
July 1, 2014
In a really interesting move, WWE is looking to hire a body double for Sting, so that they can film some sort of stunt for the upcoming DVD about the legendary WCW star. While many fans are clamoring for Sting to finally make his debut in WWE, the belief is that the two sides have only come to an agreement on a contract to produce content and merchandise.
June 9, 2014
Last month, it was revealed that Rey Mysterio had his contract extended another year by WWE because he had missed so much time over the last twelve months. It was a move done by Vince McMahon to keep one of his top merchandise guys around. Rumors coming out now are that Mysterio is not too pleased with that, as he wanted to leave WWE once his contract expired. There are talks that a legal battle could ensue.
June 5, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Sting will be included in the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game, which is scheduled to be released in October. Speculations arose recently because Sting appears to be on the verge of signing a legends contract with the company, which would enable WWE to use his likeness on merchandise. The belief is that Sting will be a bonus to those that order early.
June 5, 2014
"It's hard if you're quantifying raw numbers to say anyone was more popular at their zenith than Stone Cold Steve Austin. No one sold more merchandise, tickets or pay per view than Steve. The thing with Junkyard Dog was that he was the first African American number one baby face in a major territory. For black fans especially, he was such a groundbreaking force. There was a unique emotional relationship that JYD had with his audience. He gave a whole race their guy." - Jim Ross describes Junkyard Dog and his place in wrestling history
May 9, 2014
While neither side has confirmed anything, rumors are that WWE and Rey Mysterio have been in contract negotiations to see if the masked wrestler can continue his career with the company for a couple of more years. The belief is that WWE has some leverage this time around because Mysterio merchandise is not moving as well as it has in the past.
May 8, 2014
Now that his week long triple to Hawaii with his family is over, Rey Mysterio is looking to get back to work. The former world heavyweight champion revealed to fans that he was heading to Stamford to meet with WWE officials. The belief is that the two sides are going to negotiate a new contract, so that Mysterio, still one of the top merchandise movers on the roster, can continue his career with the company.
April 30, 2014
While a lot of speculation and rumors have been floating around that he has signed the contract offer with the company because he made some appearances recently to discuss the life of the Ultimate Warrior, Sting still has yet to sign a deal with WWE to become an on screen character. He might have signed a minor deal for merchandise and DVD, however.
April 29, 2014
It appears that the social media experiment for Terry Funk has come to an end, as the legendary NWA star has been quiet for almost half a year now. Funk was pretty active with his status updates back in September, where he promoted some merchandise. He was silent until posting something about WWE in December. No status updates since then.
April 29, 2014
With CM Punk not being on television for a couple of months now, his merchandise sales have been slumping a bit. That has enabled Daniel Bryan to move to the second spot on the list of WWE stars who move the most units. Management wants to try to close the gap between Bryan and John Cena, who sits at the top spot by a considerable margin.
April 24, 2014
Even though he has not been with the company for quite a few weeks now, CM Punk is still receiving paychecks from WWE. He still ranks among the top merchandise movers in the entire company, with some reports stating that he only trails John Cena in that category. Punk is still under contract to WWE, so management is still paying him his royalties.
April 18, 2014
In times of tragedy, the worst of the worst comes out, in order to take advantage of the situation. Several people have been selling illegal Ultimate Warrior merchandise shortly after the WWE legend died last week. Lawyers for his marketing company have already sent out cease and desist letters to over 100 different people, demanding that they quit selling products with his likeness attached.
April 16, 2014
A promoter out in Phoenix is putting together a pretty big show called Desert Storm on May 18. Performers being advertised for the event include Chris Sabin, Matt Hardy, Austin Aries, Shelton Benjamin, Shane Helms, Trent Baretta and Lance Hoyt. In terms of the independent wrestling circuit, that is an extremely stacked card, so it will be interesting to see if the promoters can pull this off.

"Hey, let's stop pretending to be offended by what some shitty old lady said about wrestling on a fake news show." - Trent Baretta discusses the backstage heat that professional wrestlers have towards Nancy Grace
April 19, 2014
Even though the company has scaled back tremendously on their pay per view schedule over the last year, TNA is holding an event this Saturday night. It is a One Night Only theme, and several former stars are returning to the promotion to work the show. Sonjay Dutt, Trent Baretta and Low Ki are among the names already announced.
April 10, 2014
A Twitter post from Trent Baretta, where the former WWE star joked about spending money on steroids.
March 15, 2014
Sonjay Dutt has posted this picture of himself on Twitter, where the former TNA star is in Russia. He has been on an overseas tour over the last couple of weeks. Dutt also worked the Wrestling Mania event with Colt Cabana and Trent Baretta.
February 17, 2014
Trent Baretta posted a picture of himself trying to feed a cow on Twitter. The former WWE star is actually in India, where the natives worship the animal as some sort of god, to work the big Wrestling Mania event, which will also feature American performers like Sonjay Dutt and Colt Cabana.
February 9, 2014
Several wrestlers from the United States are currently in India for a big event called Wrestling Mania, and one of those performers is Colt Cabana.

Jeff Louder spends day in break, but sprinters rule at Lehigh Classic
Philly week can boast perhaps the most historical clout of any current American race week. Typically drawing an internationally renowned field, the three races which make up the famous week in Pennsylvania stand out on the calendar for every American team. BMC has sent a team perfectly balanced to figure in both the breaks and the sprints. Tuesday's 85 mile (136km) Lehigh Valley circuit race found BMC being aggressive in the breaks, though their sprinters missed out on the hotly contested podium for the day.
Working to take the break to the finish line
"Going into the day, we planned on being active in the breaks, while saving our sprinters for the finale," Team Manager Gavin Chilcott explained. "Our early strategy worked well, as we were represented in nearly every break, especially with Jeff, but we just mistimed our sprint line-up, and unfortunately didn't really figure in the finale." The team brought Tony Cruz, Martin Kohler, Danilo Wyss and the emerging sprinting power of Taylor Tolleson to battle with some of the best sprinters in America and Europe, while Jeff Louder, Mike Sayers, Darren Lill and Jackson Stewart are counted on to make their presence felt in the breakaways. "It was a good day for me in the breaks," Louder said after the race. "Our first goal was to be aggressive, and since we knew this was a course suited to sprinters, we wanted to make it as hard on the pure sprinters teams as possible." Chilcott reiterated this point when he said, "We didn't want today's race to end in a field sprint, though we weren't surprised when it did." The team had a little bad luck when one of its sprinters, Martin Kohler crashed late in the race. "We were sprinting for Tony, but Martin crashed, so he wasn't able to finish, though he will be alright for the rest of the week," Chilcott explained. Mike Sayers also had the misfortune of crashing, preventing him from playing a role in the day's outcome. "I'm definitely a little disappointed I couldn't be in at the finish," Sayers said. "I crashed but at least I didn't hurt myself, so I am really hopeful that I will be going strong again for Thursday's race at Reading."
Sights turn to Reading
"We were hoping for a better finish in the sprint today," Chilcott said, "but we are already planning for Reading which should suit the talents of our team a little bit better." Of the three races this week, the Commerce Bank Reading Classic course is the most likely to have a breakaway stick until the finish. BMC has time and again proved its ability to find the right breaks, a talent that they hope will pay dividends come Thursday. "This is a special week for American cycling like a Classics week in Europe," Louder said. "I definitely have my sights set on Reading as a race that I should be able to do well in." Sayers concurred. "Considering the course, there were maybe a few too many riders today," he said. "But hopefully Thursday will be a little more selective and we can really have a chance to make a difference in the results." With the racers facing a much harder climb on the Reading course, there is great hope among all non-sprinters that Thursday might be their day. "Reading might not end in a sprint," Chilcott concluded. "We should definitely be there at the finish."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (September 1, 2011)—Killer Graces, who won a pair of stakes during Hollywood Park's Spring-Summer meet, will try to make a bit of history in the $250,000 Del Mar Debutante Saturday at Del Mar.
A Grade I for 2-year-old fillies at seven furlongs, the Debutante is the eighth of 10 races Saturday. Post time is 2 p.m. Track gates at Hollywood Park will open at 10:30 a.m. for simulcasts.
Owned by a partnership and trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, who began September two wins shy of becoming only the fourth trainer in history to record 6,000 victories, Killer Graces followed her victory in the Cinderella Stakes with another come-from-behind win in the Landaluce – which was called the Hollywood Lassie until 1982 – July 16.
If the daughter of Congaree and the Old Trieste mare Heatherdoesntbluff is able to win the Debutante, she will become the first filly since Arewehavingfunyet in 1985 to capture the Landaluce and Debutante.
Seven others have accomplished the double – Fair Molly (1954), Miss Todd (1955), Sally Lee (1957), Khalita (1958), Terlingua (1978), Table Hands (1979) and Landaluce (1980).
Jockey Joe Talamo retains the mount on Killer Graces, who has won two of four and earned $113,530, as she tries to improve upon a sixth place finish in the Grade III Sorrento Stakes. She was beaten by 3 ½ lengths as the 11-10 favorite in her Del Mar debut Aug. 5.
From the inside out, the field for the Del Mar Debutante: Evelyn's Dancer, Tyler Baze rides, 116 pounds; Coup de Coeur, Joel Rosario, 118; Wild Truffles, Alonso Quinonez, 116; Self Preservation, Patrick Valenzuela, 122; Silent Saga, Victor Espinoza, 118; Weemissfrankie, Rafael Bejarano, 118; Emerald Gold, Garrett Gomez, 118; Killer Graces, Joe Talamo, 122; Woebegon, Martin Pedroza, 118 and Dreamcaster, Martin Garcia, 118.

The ideal Pomapoo is sturdy, bold, and strong. They possess prominent and inquisitive facial features and are well-proportioned in appearance.
Affectionate, loyal, and loving, the Pomapoo is not recommended for homes with small children. They do well with dogs and other household pets they have been raised with.

Pomapoo's are wary of strangers and will bark to alert their family to visitors and out of the ordinary sounds.
Depending on coat type, the Pomapoo may require frequent brushing or professional clipping. Dental hygiene is important to prevent early tooth loss. They may be prone to such health issues as hypoglycemia, patella luxation, eye infections, skin problems, epilepsy, and PRA.
The coat of the Pomapoo may have a double coat with an outer coat that is long and profuse, with an under coat that is soft and dense. They may also have a curly coat.
The Pomapoo may be difficult to housebreak. The crate training method works best. They will not respond to harsh or heavy-handed methods. Training must be done with firmness, fairness, patience, and consistency.
The Pomapoo is well-suited for apartment living provided they are sufficiently exercised and mentally stimulated. They should have a variety of safe toys to play with. The Pomapoo requires securely leashed walks and off-lead play time in a securely fenced yard.

The most recent Pew Survey on social network usage shows that 67 per cent of online adults use social networks, with that average peaking at 83 per cent for 18-29 year-olds. As stated earlier, more than 90% of adults use the Internet to search for goods and services. Clearly, these numbers show that you will not go wrong using either tool to take your business online.
Again comparing to the offline world, a website is like a free-standing shop. You are in control of all aspects of signage, hours, heating, clean up, etc. A social network might be closer to being in a shopping centre with millions of other stores where your control is more limited and certain restrictions apply, but you benefit from the mutual traffic. We recommend that you take both paths, taking advantage of the unique features of each.
Company Website & E-mail
A website will offer you the most advantages in terms of flexibility and control—and it can be very, very simple. At its most basic, think of a website as a one-page flyer or an ad for your business. Many registrars can help you build a simple Website with Web hosting and other tools.
The drawback of your own site is minor – just keeping content up to date and making sure it is linked to the other parts of your business – directories, advertising, social networks and signage. The site can be as simple as a contact page or as complex as a multi-page e-commerce site – the level of complexity will determine your investment in time and money.
Whether or not you build a website, we recommend using your domain name for company e-mail, e.g. email@example.com. It can make a big difference to potential customers. In fact, our survey found that a full 90 per cent of people feel more comfortable as the customer of a small business with branded e-mail versus those that use @aol.com, @yahoo.com, @gmail.com, etc. You can set up multiple e-mail addresses for different employees or departments for a consistent company impression (email@example.com, etc.). You work hard to be professional with your services, equipment and staff – that professionalism should extend to your e-mail and give potential customers added confidence in your business.
Social Networks & E-Commerce
It is hard to believe that just ten years ago, no one had really heard of Facebook or Twitter. Today over a billion people use these social networks as well as e-Commerce sites such as amazon.com, etsy.com and Yelp.com. There are many positives: it is easy to set up a social network page, there is a built-in base of potential customers, and it is a great way to get started with a low-commitment online presence.
A minor drawback may be the lack of control. You are posting a free page in a crowded network and rules apply that limit what or how much you can post. The social aspect may also require a bit of monitoring. On these social networks, people are able to comment on your page and leave feedback – it is important to address any complaints quickly and/or control who can post on your page.
If you decide that your sole online presence will be on a social network site, you should still have a domain name "point" to your social network or e-commerce page. That way, you will have a single address on the Web no matter which social network you use—even if you change networks or move to your own company Website. You will also get the benefit of an easily-remembered address to use for marketing, as well as a company-branded e-mail through the domain name.

FLASHBACK: The Rolling Stones Debut On 'The Ed Sullivan Show'
Thursday, October 25, 2012
It was 48 years ago tonight (October 25th, 1964) that the Rolling Stones made their debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. The Stones' debut was nothing like the Beatles' celebrated first appearance the previous February, when they performed five songs. The Stones, who were already on their second U.S. tour of the year, performed two songs in less than seven minutes -- their latest hit "Time Is On My Side," and a cover of Chuck Berry's "Around And Around."
The Ed Sullivan Show wasn't the Stones' first U.S. TV performance. They had performed on Dean Martin's Hollywood Palace and The Mike Douglas Show during their first swing through the States the previous June. But it was during the Stones' 1964 Ed Sullivan Show performance that the majority of America got their first glimpse of the unruly Stones -- with Mick Jagger dressing down in a ragged sweatshirt and unwashed hair, and guitarist Brian Jones glaring menacingly toward the cameras.
Martin Scorsese directed the Stones' most recent concert film Shine A Light and has included numerous Stones songs in his movies, including Mean Streets, Goodfellas, Casino, and The Departed. We asked him if he places the Stones' music in his films because it represents the violence he witnessed on the New York City streets as a youth: "I don't know if I can make any direct associations to it. At times their music, it dealt with aspects of the life around me that I was associated with or saw, or was experiencing, and trying to make sense of. And so it was tougher, it had an edge, beautiful and honest -- and brutal at times (laughs), and powerful." and powerful)

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will examine and test patients with neonatal onset multi-system inflammatory disease (NOMID) to learn more about the cause and course of the disease. It will study the disease signs and symptoms and the possible role of a gene called CIAS1, and it will develop a database to gather information on patients with NOMID in the United States and around the world. It will also serve as a screening protocol to offer eligible patients participation in a treatment protocol, if an appropriate one is available.
Patients with this rare disease usually develop a chronic rash in the first days to weeks of life that can affect the entire body. Almost all patients have eye problems such as inflammation, optic atrophy, or swelling of the optic nerve. Joint problems can lead to severe disability. Nervous system problems can include chronic meningitis, brain atrophy, seizures, mental retardation, migraine headaches, hearing loss and others.
Patients with NOMID whose symptoms include a rash since birth along with one of the following: joint disease or bone overgrowth; central nervous system problem, eye problems, enlarged liver and spleen, or elevated inflammatory markers (substances that indicate inflammation) may be eligible for this study.
Participants will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center for 3 to 4 days for the following tests:
- Medical history and physical, neurological, and eye examinations.
- Hearing test.
- Completion of quality of life questionnaires.
- Evaluation of memory and learning ability.
- Urine test.
- Blood tests for genetic analysis, HIV infection, and other laboratory values.
- Blood test to evaluate growth hormones in order to learn more about how inflammation affects the patient s growth. For this test, a small amount of blood is drawn every 20 minutes for 8 hours while the patient is sleeping. The tests show if the rhythm of growth hormone and other substances in the body is normal. This test is optional.
- Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the spinal canal. For this procedure, a local anesthetic is given and a needle is inserted in the space between the bones in the lower back where the CSF circulates below the spinal cord. A small amount of fluid is collected through the needle.
- Skin biopsy (surgical removal of tissue for microscopic examination) to characterize the rash and learn more about what causes it. The biopsy area is numbed and the superficial top layers of skin are shaved.
- Photographs of the patient in a bathing suit or underwear. These pictures are taken to document the skin rash and joint changes.
- X-rays and magnetic resonance (MRI) scans of the knees or other affected joints. X-rays will be done in patients who do not have recent x-rays (within the past 3 months) available. MRI will be done in patients who can lie in the scanner without requiring sedation.
- Brain MRI to evaluate the central nervous system involvement, done only in patients who can lie still for 45 minutes.
- Bone density scan to evaluate bone mineralization.
Rehabilitation evaluation to assess hand coordination, the ability to walk, and other functions.

|Official Title:
|Studies of the Natural History, Pathogenesis, and Outcome of Autoinflammatory Diseases (NOMID/CAPS, DIRA, CANDLE, SAVI, CRMO, Still s Disease, Behcet s Disease, and Other Undifferentiated Autoinflammatory Diseases)
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|April 2003
Autoinflammatory multisystem diseases are a group of diseases that are characterized by recurrent episodes of systemic inflammation as well as organ specific inflammation that can involve the skin, eyes, joints, bones, serosal surfaces, inner ear, and brain. The prominent role of IL-1 in the pathogenesis of these disorders has first become evident through the discovery of mutations in CIAS1 causing the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) including the most severe presentation Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID). We recently identified a new autoinflammatory disease DIRA (Deficiency of IL-1 Receptor Antagonist), a disease that is caused by mutations in IL1RN. Therapy with anakinra, the IL-1 receptor antagonist, can be life-saving. We also study additional rare diseases including CANDLE (chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperatures), the spectrum CRMO (Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis), Still s disease, and Beh(SqrRoot)(Beta)et s disease (BD) all of which may involve dysregulation of IL-1. In this research protocol we seek to comprehensively evaluate affected patients clinically, genetically, immunologically, and endocrinologically. In addition we intend to evaluate long term outcome and biomarkers. Eligibility for ongoing and planned treatment protocols will be determined by screening patients in this protocol. We plan to evaluate patients on a consultative basis for other autoinflammatory diseases for possible enrollment into this study.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|3 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Subjects with known or suspected diagnosis of NOMID/CAPS, DIRA, CRMO, Still's disease, Behcet's disease, and other autoinflammatory diseases will be evaluated either at the outpatient or inpatient unit of the Clinical Center as indicated.
