Hilvers, Johnston, Johnston, et al's Acclamation emerged from his Friday workout "fine," according to trainer Don Warren and will enter Saturday's Grade I, $250,000 Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap at 1 1-4 miles on turf. The 6-year-old will be going for his third straight Whittingham victory.
"He jogged great the last couple of mornings," said Warren, who returned to his barn six days ago following hospitalization for a serious septic infection. "It looks like he's out of the woods."
Acclamation, last year's champion older male, had his training interrupted briefly on two occasions when he took a couple of awkward steps. After extensive testing, no physical problem was found and the California-bred son of Unusual Heat quickly resumed his morning activities. He worked a mile on Cushion Track in 1:38 2/5 May 25th and the same distance a week later in :1:41 1/5 breezing. Pat Valenzuela was aboard for both drills and is expected to ride in the Whittingham. Warren said Valenzuela, who has missed some time due to weight issues, arrived early for the work and "looked great."
"That last work was a little slower than I wanted," said Warren. The rider on (workmate) Norvsky screwed it up by going too slow." The trainer added, however, that the pair finished strongly. "I'm leaning toward running Norvsky in the Whittingham, as well. Right now, it looks like we'll ship the day of the race."
Meanwhile, in other Whittingham developments, multiple graded stakes winner Bourbon Bay was expected to provide Acclamation with his main challenge, but is now doubtful, according to Neil Drysdale. "I was going to run him," said Drysdale, "but he came up with a foot problem this morning, so right now I don't think he'll go." Drysdale added that Omayad is a possibility for the race, but he's leaning toward sending the Chilean bred to New York for the Grade I Manhattan Handicap June 9th. Alexis Barba said Make Music for Me is probable.
Terry C. Lovingier, who has a large breeding operation in Northern San Diego County, has been around the game for years, but accomplished something he had never done before when three 2-year-olds he bred finished first, second and third in Saturday's sixth race at Betfair Hollywood Park. The 10-horse field was a maiden special weight for California bred fillies.
"I've had a couple in there before, but it's the first time I've run one-two-three," said Lovingier, whose ranch houses between 80 and 150 at a time, with about 60 active mares.
Each of the trio has a different trainer. Akiss Forarose (Gary Sherlock), ridden
by Jose Valdivia, Jr., won the race by a nose and returned $51.20. Ella Bea Awesome (Doug O'Neill), with Kevin Krigger, was second, while Gambler's Beauty (Walter Solis), ridden by Martin Pedroza, finished third. Lovingier is co-owner of Akiss Forarose and Gambler's Beauty. The $1 trifecta returned $557.00.
Lovingier told a touching story about how Akiss Forarose was named. "My mom passed away a couple of years ago and she had this big rose garden. When she got to where she couldn't get around, she'd tell me 'go cut me a rose and I'll give you a kiss.' That's where the name came from. It's too bad she wasn't here to see her win. She loved horse racing."
Currently, Lovingier's most prominent runner is Grade I winner Willa B. Awesome, set to make her next start in the Grade II, $150,000 Hollywood Oaks June 23rd.
Going into Saturday's card, there were six contestants remaining in Betfair Hollywood Park's Show Me the Money Contest, where the object is to select one horse each day to finish third or better.
Four of the six decided to make their selections in the 8th race, the Californian. What makes this interesting is that each of the four selected a different runner in the four-horse field, effectively making the race a game of musical chairs. When the race was over, the person who chose Morning Line, the last place finisher, was eliminated. There are now five contestants remaining.
The winner-take-all contest continues until a single participant is left standing. Prize money is $3,000 plus a two-night VIP stay at the Golden Nugget Las Vegas.
CLOSING STRIDES— Los Angeles Lakers center Pau Gasol was a backstretch visitor Saturday evening. The basketball star was here to see Siempre Mio, whom Gasol purchased at a charity auction in a partnership that includes teammate Kobe Bryant. Gasol brought along carrots for the 4-year-old gelding, who is trained by Doug O'Neill ….. Patrick Valenzuela is scheduled to meet with the Board of Stewards Sunday morning for clearance to resume riding. "The Stewards just want to see him to talk about his weight," said agent Tom Knust. "It's not a hearing or anything like that. He'll be able to ride next weekend at 121 or 122. His goal is to be 118 by Del Mar. I'm taking calls for Saturday. We won't be riding Thursday or Friday."…….Game On Dude, easy winner in Saturday's Californian, came back well and "ate up good", according to Bob Baffert's assistant Mike Marlow. Baffert indicated after the race that the Awesome Again gelding would be pointed for the Grade I, $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup July 7th. John Sadler informs that second-place finisher Kettle Corn returned in good shape and also would be aimed for the Gold Cup. John Shirreffs, trainer of Morning Line, who checked in last, suggested he would be inclined to "throw out" the bad effort. "He came back with some mucus," the trainer said. "That was more of an issue than anything that happened in the post parade." Shirreffs said he didn't believe the problem is serious and expects the son of Tiznow to be ready for the Gold Cup."……..Through 24 days of the 50-day meeting, favorites are faring better on Cushion Track (35 per cent) than turf (25 per cent). The overall percentage for winning favorites is 32 per cent.

Cadel Evans of the BMC Racing Team moved into second place overall at the Critérium du Dauphiné Wednesday on the strength of his sixth place finish in the individual time trial.
Good Tour Reconnaissance
On the same 42.5-kilometer course that will be used for the final time trial of the Tour de France, Evans conceded 1:20 to stage winner Tony Martin (HTC-Highroad) and 1:09 to Bradley Wiggins (Sky Pro Cycling), who assumed the race lead. Evans trails Wiggins by 1:11 in the overall standings. BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said he was pleased with Evans's performance on a technical course that was made more difficult by some wet descents. "When you look at all the stage race contenders, Wiggins is making a really good time, but the other ones are behind. So that's a good sign," Lelangue said. "Surely the three last stages, which are tough mountain finishes, will be intense."

I agree that the VelociRaptor drives would be good recipients of some hybrid style memory.
Dogs are great judges of character, and if your dog doesn't like somebody being around, you shouldn't trust them.
Anybody with experience of running a multi-boot system on a hybrid ?...
It really shouldn't behave any differently, mh. These drives appear like one volume to any OS with the flash just acting like a lager on board cache.
Editor In Chiefhttp://hothardware.com
Thanks, Dave, for your reply ! My question was related to the fact that, AFAIK, the hybrid drive with the greatest capacity currently being offered is the Seagate Momentus X with a 750GB HHD and an 8GB Nand flash cache. To me, that cache size seems a tad on the small side if one is going to run, say, an Ubuntu/Windows dualboot. For that reason, I wondered if any HH readers have experience of actually running such a setup. I'm looking forward to seeing hybrid drives with, say, a 1TB HHD spinning at 10000 RPM and a 64GB Nand flash cache - although I'm not so sure that I'd be pleased by the price in a market with, effectively, only two HHD manufacturers and only one making a hybrid drive....
The advantage of an HHD, in that scenario, is that the full Flash capacity will be used on both OS's (assuming you dual boot, and that there aren't any specialized Windows drivers necessary) (I don't believe there are).
The current cache SSD solutions available are limited to one cache drive per computer and to Windows-only installations -- AFAIK.
As of right now, a VelociRaptor + Cache Accelerator would net you "Best of Both worlds" performance, at least in Windows. With that said, I've been very impressed with the performance of a CA drive when attached to a bog standard 7200 RPM Samsung. Using a faster HDD would help shrink the gap further.
If I read you aright, Joel, the best solution in the case of an Ubuntu/Windows dual boot would seem to be two hybrid drives, each dedicated to a single OS. As a matter of fact, when dual-booting, I have always tried to have dedicated HDDs for each operating system and the accompanying files, just to keep things simpler. Not, perhaps, the most efficient use of resources, as it means that, for example, I duplicate photos on two disks, instead of dedicating a disk to storing a single copy which could then be accessed by both OS. But that would mean learning how to successfully manipulate a rather more complicated setup, given the differences in files systems (ext4 and ntfs, respectively)....
As far as I'm aware, when you use an HHD, dual-booting means the full cache is available for each OS. The other issues you raise (multiple file systems, different drive partitions) are all valid, but apply to both traditional and hybrid OS deployments.
I personally despite dual-booting and avoid it at all costs.
The cache memory activity on the Seagate Momentus drives is handled by the drive, and the OS has nothing to do with it. It's very robust considering the cost of the drives.
I have a the 500GB model and it's been reliable for me for the almost two years that I've had it.
I have not tried to dual-boot with it though.
As my questions above probably reveal, realneil, my practical experience with hybrid drives is limited to none at all. My understanding, gained from sources like Anand Tech (http://www.anandtech.com/show/5160/seagate-2nd-generation-momentus-xt-750gb-hybrid-hdd-review), is that frequently accessed programmes, data, etc are automatically stored in the cache - the conclusion I've drawn from this is that in a dual-boot system, both OSs would be stored on the cache. But perhaps I've misunderstood....
As I understand it, hybrid drives are designed to be used mainly in portable machines, laptops, notebooks, etc. I'd very much like to hear if any HH reader has experience of running two such drives on one machine....
Joel, you don't mention just why you «despise» dual-booting ; myself I find it useful as I far prefer Ubuntu to Windows, but the retirees from our club who ring me when they encounter computer problems universally use Windows, as, for some strange reason, that OS is always pre-installed on the computers they purchase. Thus, to help them, I need to access Windows. I've found that by keeping Ubuntu on one HDD and Windows on another on my main machine, I've managed to avoid all the inconveniences that could be coupled to dual-booting, with one exception : it takes me a few extra seconds to boot up, as I have to use GRUB to choose which OS to boot. That is a price I'm more than happy to pay....
mhenriday:frequently accessed programmes, data, etc are automatically stored in the cache
This is correct Henri. The bits of Data that you access the most are stored in the faster, flash memory area of the drive. This makes it perform faster because that data loads quicker..
mhenriday:the conclusion I've drawn from this is that in a dual-boot system, both OSs would be stored on the cache. But perhaps I've misunderstood....
The OS is not stored on the cache. The data that you've been accessing the most is. The drive's logic controls this entirely and the process is independent of the OS, whatever that may be. So if you've been using UBUNTU a lot lately, then that is what the drive will optimize itself for, using it's "most accessed Data" programming. If you then access windows, it begins to optimize itself for what you use most in that OS. It does it automagically and in the background. Going from one OS to the other will be seamless and will work properly. You see the speed increase begin with usage. The drive is always analyzing, learning, and adjusting from your usage.
Thanks for clarifying that point, realneil ! That means, if I intrepret you correctly, I could partition the 750GB HDD on the hybrid drive, install each OS on a dedicated partition, and then sit back and let the cache do its job. Sweet ! I'm definitely going to have to give this a whirl !...
mhenriday:I could partition the 750GB HDD on the hybrid drive, install each OS on a dedicated partition, and then sit back and let the cache do its job
Yes, exactly. I like my 500GB drive, and would love a few of the 750's to try in RAID.
I think that eventually they'll start making them with larger cache sizes, at which point we'll see a spike in performance. SSD prices continue to drop and they're becoming a more attractive option by the day.
I'm getting ready to install 64Bit Linux Mint onto a AMD APU M-ITX system to use as an HTPC box. I have a 60GB OCZ Solid-3 to use for the OS and a Seagate Barracuda LP Green 1.5TB platter drive for storage.
Linux is fast on an SSD.
Anything is fast on an SSD. Seriously. :P
I didn't get into why I despise dual-booting because it's a personal opinion and not relevant to the article or the function of the technology. I dislike having to have multiple systems (physical or software) for my tasks. Dual-booting into another OS means that some of my work is in Space A, some of it is in Space B, and transitioning between the two takes time. Software has to be installed twice, workspaces have to be configured twice, etc, etc.
Now, that's just me. If I was a programmer instead of a journalist, dual-booting to test different operating environments would be essential.
Joel H:
Anything is fast on an SSD. Seriously. :P
I know.
ok i will make it much easier for all of you,
2 ssd raid level 0 - for OS/s
2 hdd raid level 0- for games and programs (or ssd for more speed and all raid together)
for a dual OS situation run windows or ubuntu and have a virtual box runnin for the other OS, no rebooting when switching the os
and if u dont want to spend the money on two ssds then buy one! ssds ARE FASTER,
just buy a normal one and try it
While laptop makers like integration they also like options that allow that to address multiple price points in a simple fashion.
What you're going to see on traditional form factors for laptops is the inclusion of an mSATA slot. This allows for a small SSD and a regular platter drive to be used as either as boot and data drives (the sole option for non-Windows users until Intel decides otherwise) or in SRT mode where the mSATA SSD is used as a cache.
This approach gives the laptop maker a lot of options. They can leave the mSATA slot unpopulated for the entry price point. They can fill it with SSDs of varying size. (SRT ranges from 18.6 to 60 GB.) They can have the full range of platter drive options.
mSATA slots are already showing up in high end desktop boards. I think it will be in laptop models by the end of this year or early next year.

John Henry Bonham (31 May 1948 – 25 September 1980)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bonham
John Henry Bonham (31 May 1948 – 25 September 1980) was an English musician and songwriter, best known as the drummer of Led Zeppelin. Bonham was esteemed for his speed, power, fast right foot, distinctive sound, and "feel" for the groove.[1] He is widely considered to be one of the greatest drummers in the history of rock music by many drummers, other musicians, and commentators in the industry.[2][3][4][5] Over 30 years after his death, Bonham continues to garner awards and praise, including a Rolling Stone readers' pick in 2011 placing him in first place of the magazine's "best drummers of all time"...

Yeah, me too. They were big in their day. I have all of their albums on CD.
In this 2nd clip see if you can spot all of the other famous musicians and singers.
Mick Jagger was there, Billy Preston, who was one of only two performers who was not a Beatle ever to get a written credit on a Beatles song, you'll see Phil Spector the music producer who is serving time in Jail right now for murder,.....and who else?
And just in case you're in the mood for an absolutely amazing (and funky) guitar solo, I give you Prince.
Came across this video and I was pretty impressed. Another good guitar solo.
An oldie but a goody.
So THAT's where your avatar came from.

Northern NY
NEW YORK STATE -- The deadline is ticking for school districts to submit teacher evaluation plans.
Governor Andrew Cuomo and Albany lawmakers gave administrators until January 17th to have plans approved and in place and 180 schools still need to re-submit plans for approval with the Department of Education and 27 districts have not submitted any evaluation proposal to Albany.
Several of those districts that haven't submitted plans are in Central New York, including North Syracuse, New York Mills, Altmar-Parish-Williamstown, Remsen and Sauquoit Valley.
Schools that do not have teacher evaluation plans in time risk losing state funding.
