Trainer Carl O'Callaghan patted Kinsale King on the shoulder before galloping the 4-year-old gelding on the main track Thursday at Hollywood Park and said, "You're my birthday present, right?"
The Irish-born O'Callaghan seeks his first stakes victory with Kinsale King in the $100,000 Vernon O. Underwood Stakes Sunday, one day before his 34th birthday.
Kinsale King, coming off a sharp allowance score at Santa Anita on Oct. 30, will face more experienced stakes horses in his added-money debut in the Grade III test at six furlongs, but O'Callaghan relishes his role as "Underwood Underdog."
Kinsale King drew the rail in a field of seven.
"I know we're stepping into deep water, but I think he deserves a shot," said O'Callaghan after a front-running three-length victory in a crisp 1:08.52 for six furlongs in his last start under Martin Garcia at 61.60-to-1 odds.
Kinsale King's last start was his first for O'Callaghan after the gelding was transferred to him following a layoff since January.
"I got him at Del Mar," explained O'Callaghan. "He had a lot of issues with his feet, a lot of quarter-crack problems. My blacksmith, Robert Guest from England, is a real talent. I worked him on the turf at Del Mar to save his feet and got him straightened out.
"I brought him here to Hollywood Park after Del Mar," said O'Callaghan. "The Underwood was my goal since I got him."
First, however, he needed the comeback race at Santa Anita. "I talked to a half dozen different agents who didn't want to ride him," said O'Callaghan. "Alonso Quinonez was listed to ride him but he got sick the morning of the race, and I got Martin as a replacement. I thought he would run big, and he ran real big."
Kinsale King returned to Hollywood Park to work a half mile in a bullet 46.80 seconds Nov. 10, encouraging O'Callaghan that the race had not taken too much out of him.
"He's extremely fast but doesn't have to be on the lead," said O'Callaghan. "Santa Anita was speed-favoring the day he won, and I took advantage of the way the track was playing."
Kinsale King, a Kentucky-bred son of Yankee Victor, is owned by Super Horse Inc., nom de course for Dr. Patrick Sheehy. "He is from the town of Kinsale in County Cork, not far from where I grew up in County Clare," said O'Callaghan.
O'Callaghan, who took out his training license last year, has seen a stable of five at this time last year grow to 35. "A lot of the credit has to go to Dr. Sheehy," said O'Callaghan. "He showed a lot of confidence in me and put me on the map. He bought some 2-year-olds this year."
O'Callaghan listed Super Horse, Highlander Racing and Andreas Loizu as his three main clients and credited David Greaves and Norman Rodriguez as his two primary assistants.
O'Callaghan earned valuable experience before going on his own. Although his family was not in racing — his father is a musician — O'Callaghan was interested in horses from his early youth.
"I played around with ponies all my life, left school when I was 12 and bought a one-way ticket to New York in 1990," said O'Callaghan. "I hooked on with John Kimmel when I was 16, worked for him for seven years, then worked for Todd Pletcher for seven years. I came to California three years ago and never went back. I freelanced for Matt Chew and Lisa Lewis before I took out my license.
"When I was with Pletcher, I went to Dubai with Host and galloped horses like Scat Daddy and Magna Graduate," continued O'Callaghan. "I got on a fast sprinter in New York for him every morning named Forest Danger. Kinsale King reminds me a lot of him."
Just as Zenyatta — the $5-million superstar mare of racing — fades into the limelight with her retirement, Lava Man — the $5-million superstar gelding — returns to center stage at Hollywood Park.
"I think he's ready," said trainer Doug O'Neill Thursday after the 8-year-old gelding six furlongs in a bullet 1:13.60 Wednesday under regular exercise rider Tony Romero in his final drill for the $100,000 Native Diver Handicap on Dec. 12. "He looks great."
The three-time Hollywood Gold Cup winner, who returned to training in September following a one-year retirement, will make his first start since July, 2008, in the Grade III test at 1 1/8 miles on Cushion Track.
"His return has been a big boost to the barn," said O'Neill. "He's a champion. To have a champion around on a daily basis is really great."
O'Neill said Lava Man's return following stem-cell therapy to his front ankles at Alamo Pintado in Los Olivos has been healthy for the horse. "Tom Hudson, who manages Magali Farms where he was at, said he was depressed when he wasn't doing much," said O'Neill. "He seems like a happy camper here. With the exercise and all, he enjoys the action."
Meet-leading jockey Joel Rosario will ride Lava Man for the first time in the Native Diver. Rosario will become the 13th jockey to ride the venerable gelding, who has won 17 of 46 starts and earned $5,268,706. O'Neill and Rosario teamed to win the race last year with Slew's Tizzy.
O'Neill nominated High Court Drama and Square Eddie to the Native Diver along with Lava Man. Also nominated are Cigar Man, Deal Breaker, Mast Track, Neko Bay, One Track Mind, Richard's Kid, Times Gone By, Tres Borrachos, Viscount and Whatsthescript.
Hall of Fame trainer Neil Drysdale said Thursday he was still considering whether or not to start Cat by the Tale in the $150,000 Bayakoa Handicap Saturday. The 4-year-old filly drew post four in a field of 11 in the Grade II test for fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track.
"I'm weighing the options," said Drysdale of the Irish import who has made all five of her United States starts on turf. "She has trained well on it (Cushion Track.)"
Cat by the Tale has been a model of consistency in California with two firsts, one second and two thirds in five starts, including a third in the Grade II Las Palmas Handicap on the Santa Anita turf in her last start on Nov. 6.
Drysdale sent out Model to a second-place finish in the Bayakoa last year behind Briecat, who is back to defend honors in a wide-open race. Briecat seeks to join Star Parade, Starrer and Manistique as two-time winners of the race.
FINISH LINES: Joseph Talamo will be out of the country next week. "He leaves Sunday night for Japan, arrives there Tuesday and rides in a Jockey Challenge at Happy Valley Wednesday," said agent Scotty McClellan. "From there he goes to Hong Kong, where he rides California Flag in the $1.8-million Hong Kong Sprint next Sunday." California Flag, winner of the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, is trained by Brian Koriner. Other horses with California connections scheduled to compete in rich races at Hong Kong are Black Mamba for trainer John Sadler and Ferneley for trainer Ben Cecil*…Trainer *Kathy Walsh said that Who's Up, winner of the Generous Stakes Saturday, would pass on the CashCall Futurity on Dec. 19. "He's a nice horse; we'll get him ready for a winter campaign," she said…Jockey Jorge Herrera suffered two fractured ribs in a spill aboard Continental Dancer in the eighth race on Wednesday…Thoroughbred owner and award-winning film writer and director David Milch is beginning work on a new series about the racetrack for HBO called "Luck"…*Jerry Antonucci* will be the guest of Kurt Hoover on Inside Scoop Saturday at 11:30 a.m. by the paddock tote board.

What is GER?
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) occurs when stomach contents flow back up into the esophagus—the muscular tube that carries food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach.
GER is also called acid reflux or acid regurgitation because the stomach's digestive juices contain acid. Infants with GER spit up liquid mostly made of saliva and stomach acids. GER is common in infants under 2 years of age. About half of all infants spit up, or regurgitate, many times a day in the first 3 months of life. Most healthy infants experience few to no symptoms and stop spitting up between the ages of 12 and 14 months.1

Pediatric gastroesophageal reflux clinical practice guidelines: joint recommendations of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) and the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN). Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition. 2009;49:498–547.[Top]
What is GERD?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a more serious, chronic—or long lasting—form of GER. According to studies, health care providers may often overlook GERD or mistake GERD for GER. If an infant's GER progresses to GERD, additional symptoms—such as vomiting and poor feeding—occur and can adversely affect the child's overall health and temperament. Infants with severe symptoms or with GER that lasts beyond 12 to 14 months may actually have GERD and should see a pediatrician—a doctor who specializes in treating children.[Top]
What causes GER and GERD in infants?
When the lower esophageal sphincter—the muscle that acts as a valve between the esophagus and stomach—has not fully developed in infants, GER can occur. While the sphincter muscle is still developing, it may push stomach contents back up, resulting in regurgitation. Once the sphincter muscle more fully develops, regurgitation should stop.
In contrast, GERD most often occurs when the sphincter muscle becomes weak or relaxes when it should not, causing stomach contents to rise up into the esophagus.
What is the gastrointestinal (GI) tract?
The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The movement of muscles in the GI tract, along with the release of hormones and enzymes, starts the digestion of food. The upper GI tract includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine.[Top]
What are the symptoms of GERD in infants?
Infants with GERD spit up and have some or all of the following recurrent symptoms:
- vomiting
- coughing
- gagging or trouble swallowing
- pneumonia or trouble breathing
- wheezing
- irritability, particularly after feedings
- arching of the back—often during or immediately after feedings
- poor feeding or refusal to feed
- poor weight gain or weight loss
- poor growth and malnutrition
- colic
Other disorders can cause these symptoms, so a health care provider needs to confirm a GERD diagnosis.
Caregivers should call their infant's pediatrician right away if their infant
- vomits large amounts or has persistent projectile, or forceful, vomiting, particularly in infants younger than 2 months
- vomits fluid that is green or yellow, looks like coffee grounds, or contains blood
- has difficulty breathing after vomiting or spitting up
- refuses feedings repeatedly, resulting in poor weight gain or weight loss
- cries excessively and is extremely irritable
- shows signs of dehydration, such as dry diapers or no tears when crying
How is GERD diagnosed in infants?
If an infant appears healthy, has good growth, and seems to have typical GER, the infant usually does not need tests or treatment. Even if a pediatrician suspects GERD, simple feeding changes can often reduce symptoms.
In some cases, a health care provider may order tests to help determine whether the infant's symptoms relate to GERD or another medical condition and require medication. A health care provider may refer an infant with suspected GERD to a pediatric gastroenterologist, a doctor who specializes in children's digestive diseases, for diagnosis and treatment.
A completely accurate test for diagnosing GERD does not exist. However, several tests can help with diagnosis. The following are some common tests performed on infants with suspected GERD:
Upper GI series. A pediatric gastroenterologist may use an upper GI series in infants to exclude the possibility of a congenital abnormality of the upper GI tract. Although a pediatric gastroenterologist does not use this test to diagnose acid reflux or GERD, an upper GI series serves as an important tool to look at the shape of the upper GI tract. An x-ray technician performs the test at a hospital or an outpatient center, and a radiologist—a doctor who specializes in medical imaging—interprets the images. This test does not require anesthesia. If possible, caretakers should not feed their infant before the procedure, as directed by the health care staff. Caretakers should check with the infant's pediatric gastroenterologist about what to do to prepare for an upper GI series.
During the procedure, the infant will rest in front of an x-ray machine and will drink barium, a chalky liquid, from a bottle. Barium coats the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine, so the radiologist and pediatric gastroenterologist can clearly see these organs' shapes on the x-ray images.
For several days afterward, barium liquid in the GI tract causes white or light-colored stools. A health care provider will provide specific instructions about eating and drinking after the test.
Upper endoscopy. A pediatric gastroenterologist will use an upper endoscopy, also known as an esophagogastroduodenoscopy, if an infant continues to have GERD symptoms despite feeding changes and treatment with medications. The procedure is necessary, particularly if an infant has respiratory or growth problems associated with GERD. This procedure involves using an endoscope—a small, flexible tube with a light—to see the upper GI tract.
A pediatric gastroenterologist performs this test at a hospital or an outpatient center. A health care provider places an intravenous (IV) needle in the infant's vein to give sedating medications, and the infant receives extra oxygen throughout the procedure.
After the infant receives sedation, the pediatric gastroenterologist carefully feeds an endoscope through the mouth and down the esophagus, then into the stomach and duodenum. A small camera mounted on the endoscope transmits a video image to a monitor, allowing close examination of the intestinal lining. The pediatric gastroenterologist uses the endoscope to take a biopsy, a procedure that involves taking a small piece of esophageal tissue. A pathologist—a doctor who specializes in diagnosing diseases—will examine the tissue with a microscope and determine the extent of inflammation.
Esophageal pH monitoring. Esophageal pH monitoring measures the amount of liquid or acid in the esophagus and is the most accurate test for acid reflux. A pediatric gastroenterologist performs this test at a hospital as part of an upper endoscopy. Most infants stay in the hospital for the duration of this test.
A pediatric gastroenterologist passes a thin tube, called a nasogastric probe, through the infant's nose or mouth to the stomach while the infant is awake. The pediatric gastroenterologist will then pull the tube back into the esophagus, where it will be taped to the cheek and remain for 24 hours. The end of the tube in the esophagus has a small probe to measure when and how much liquid or acid comes up into the esophagus. The other end of the tube, attached to a monitor outside the body, shows the measurements taken. The procedure can also help show whether reflux triggers respiratory symptoms.[Top]
How is GERD treated in infants?
Treatment for GERD depends on the infant's symptoms and age and may involve one or more of the following: feeding changes, medications, or surgery.
Feeding Changes
The heath care provider may recommend some feeding changes as a first line of treatment. Caregivers can
- add up to 1 tablespoon of rice cereal for every 2 ounces of formula in bottles; if the mixture is too thick, the nipple size can be changed or a little "x" can be cut in the nipple
- add rice cereal to expressed milk for breastfed babies
- burp infants after they consume 1 to 2 ounces of formula, or burp breastfed infants after feeding on each side
- avoid overfeeding infants by following the amount of formula or breast milk recommended by a pediatrician
- hold infants upright for 30 minutes after feedings
- put infants on a 2- to 4-week trial of hydrolyzed protein formula—the protein content of this type of formula has been broken down or "predigested"—if a pediatrician suspects a sensitivity to milk protein
If the infant still has recurrent GERD symptoms after making feeding changes, has difficulty sleeping or eating, or does not grow properly, a health care provider may recommend medication to decrease the amount of acid in the stomach. A health care provider often prescribes medication on a trial basis and will explain any potential complications related to the medication. Caregivers should not give their infant any medications unless told to do so by a health care provider.
If the infant requires medication, treatment will often start with a class of medications called H2 blockers, including cimetidine (Tagamet), famotidine (Pepcid), nizatidine (Axid), and ranitidine (Zantac). H2 blockers decrease acid production and come in over-the-counter and prescription strengths. These medications provide short-term or on-demand relief and work effectively in many infants with GERD symptoms. H2 blockers can help to heal the esophagus. If these medications don't work, the health care provider may prescribe proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).
PPIs include omeprazole (Prilosec, Zegerid), lansoprazole (Prevacid), pantoprazole (Protonix), rabeprazole (Aciphex), and esomeprazole (Nexium), which are available by prescription. Omeprazole and lansoprazole are also available in over-the-counter strength. PPIs are more effective than H2 blockers and can relieve symptoms and heal the esophageal lining in infants with GERD who have not responded to H2 blockers. PPIs are the most common medication used for long-term management of GERD. However, studies show they are more likely to cause wrist, hip, and spinal fractures when taken long term or in high doses. Infants should take these medications on an empty stomach in order for stomach acid to activate them.
Only rarely and in severe cases, such as severe respiratory problems or a physical abnormality that causes symptoms, will a pediatric gastroenterologist use surgery to treat GERD in infants.[Top]
Eating, Diet, and Nutrition
If an infant is not growing properly or is malnourished despite feeding changes, a pediatrician may recommend higher-calorie formula or tube feedings.[Top]
Points to Remember
- Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) occurs when stomach contents flow back up into the esophagus.
- GER is also called acid reflux or acid regurgitation because the stomach's digestive juices contain acid.
- GER is common in infants under 2 years of age. About half of all infants spit up, or regurgitate, many times a day in the first 3 months of life.
- Most healthy infants experience few to no symptoms and stop spitting up between the ages of 12 and 14 months.
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a more serious, chronic form of GER.
- If an infant appears healthy, has good growth, and seems to have typical GER, the infant usually does not need tests or treatment.
- Even if a pediatrician suspects GERD, simple feeding changes can often reduce symptoms. In some cases, a health care provider may order tests to help determine whether the infant's symptoms relate to GERD or another medical condition and require medication.
- Treatment for GERD depends on the infant's symptoms and age and may involve one or more of the following: feeding changes, medications, or surgery.
Hope through Research
The Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) supports basic and clinical research into GI diseases, including GER and GERD.
Clinical trials are research studies involving people. Clinical trials look at safe and effective new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease. Researchers also use clinical trials to look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses.

Frisco, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - The Dallas Stars have claimed forward Dustin Jeffrey off waivers from the Pittsburgh Penguins, the team announced Sunday.
Jeffrey had skated in 10 games for the Penguins this season prior to being waived on Saturday. The 25-year-old had registered just one assist thus far in 2013-14.
A sixth-round selection of Pittsburgh in the 2007 NHL Draft, Jeffrey has played in 100 career NHL games and totaled 15 goals and 13 assists.
Defenseman Aaron Rome was reassigned to Texas of the AHL to make room for Jeffrey on the active roster.

BMC Racing Team's Dominik Nerz rode to 15th place on the toughest finish yet of the Vuelta a España Monday, while teammate Ivan Santaromita slid out of the top 10 by finishing more than three minutes after solo stage winner and new race leader, Chris Horner (RadioShack Leopard).
Active In Breakaways
Santaromita said he did not feel good during the 186.8-kilometer stage that finished with a 15.8-km, twisting and narrow climb to Alto de Hazallanas. "It wasn't a good day for me. I didn't have good sensations," the Italian road champion said. "My shape is good, but you can have one day like this when you don't feel so super. We'll see what happens now. There are still some stages that might be good for me." Santaromita is 13th, 4:35 behind Horner, while Nerz climbed into the top 20 with his best finish through the first 10 stages. "Dominik was very strong today and yesterday," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Yvon Ledanois said. "For next week and the last week, he is definitely going to be going for a stage win." On the day before the first rest day of the three-week race, the BMC Racing Team was active in breakaways, with Martin Kohler, Yannick Eijssen and Nerz all integrating themselves into moves. Kohler was in the most successful one. His escape group enjoyed a nearly six-minute lead before being absorbed on the penultimate climb by a chase group that included Nerz and Santaromita. "It was a real crazy start," the former Swiss road champion said. "A lot of winding roads, up and down, with a headwind. It was like everyone wanted to go in the break today."

Posters of boxing legends and 12 new 100-pound training bags hang at Santa Cruz Boxing and MMA, the new Scotts Valley dojo of martial arts instructor Brian Dunniway.
Located at 208 Mount Hermon Road in the Camp Evers shopping center, the studio focuses on training techniques that can be used in mixed martial arts competition.
Dunniway, a certified personal trainer, has an extensive background in several martial arts disciplines and has served as an instructor in numerous studios, including a job at Santa Monica College as a boxing and kickboxing instructor.
For the Ben Lomond native, Santa Cruz Boxing and MMA is the first training center that he has owned and operated himself — the realization of a life-long goal.
"I fell in love with martial arts when I was young," he said. "This has been a dream for me — I love teaching."
Dunniway has taught martial arts since 1998.
He said the dojo will be operated as a place of training for those who want to be professional fighters, as well a place for those who seek a fun way to exercise.
"Most people gravitate toward the fitness aspect," he said.
He added that the focus of his classes would be on perfecting technique and style in a fun atmosphere, with the workout aspect coming with the territory.
"I try to keep (the style of training) as authentic as possible," Dunniway said.
He plans to feature classes including kickboxing, traditional boxing, a martial arts-based fitness class, and an after-school boxing class for teens.
He said his studio will also be offering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes led by Gustavo Froes, a fourth-degree black belt in the sport.
The Brazilian jiu jitsu classes will be offered in three different age groups: 6 to 12, 13 to 17, and 18 and older.
Dunniway's studio officially opened Friday, Feb. 1, with a series of trial classes for potential students. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 28, between 5:30 and 7 p.m..
The martial arts expert said that he was excited to become part of the Scotts Valley community and even more excited to begin teaching classes.
"I've accumulated a lot of knowledge," he said. "I think it's an awesome sport, and I want to share it with as many people as I can."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 7, 2012)—Star Billing will make her first start since winning the Grade I Matriarch last Nov. 25 in the $70,000 Redondo Beach Stakes Sunday at Betfair Hollywood Park.
A one mile turf race for fillies and mares, the Redondo Beach is the eighth of nine races. Post time is 1 p.m. Track gates at Betfair Hollywood Park will open at 9:55 a.m. for simulcasts.
Trained by John Shirreffs for owner-breeder George Krikorian, Star Billing defeated Summer Soiree by a half-length at the Redondo Beach distance in the Matriarch in her final race as a 3-year-old.
The win was the third in seven starts for the daughter of Dynaformer and the Thunder Gulch mare Tagline. Two of her wins have come over the Betfair Hollywood Park grass. She also won the Grade III Senorita Stakes May 7, 2011. Star Billing, who has been worse than third only once in her career, has earned $355,067.
Like Star Billing, All Star Heart is returning from a layoff after winning a graded event.
Owned by breeder Gerald L. Gibbs and trained by Hall of Famer Ron McAnally, All Star Heart was a two length winner of the Grade II Las Palmas last Nov. 6 at Santa Anita.
The win was the fifth in eight tries for the Canadian bred daughter of Arch and the Ascot Knight mare Gift of the Heart since she was turned over to McAnally in the fall of 2010.
All Star Heart has won five of 15 and banked $261,705. She is 1-for-1 locally, having won an allowance by 1 ¼ lengths last July 7.
Briecat will try for her third win over the Betfair Hollywood Park grass for owners David and Holly Wilson and trainer Vladimir Cerin. The 7-year-old daughter of Adcat and the Marlin mare Silk Briefcase is 10-for-33 with a bankroll of $649,799.
Broken Dreams, another two-time winner over this turf course, will stretch out after finishing fifth in the Great Lady M. Stakes May 27.
Owned by breeder Glen Hill Farm and trained by Tom Proctor, the 6-year-old daughter of Broken Vow and the Storm Cat mare Our Dreamer has won five of 18 and earned $259,284. This will be the first race beyond 6 ½ furlongs for Broken Dreams.
Proctor will be aiming for his second consecutive win in the Redondo Beach, having won a year ago with Wild Mia. The only trainer with two victories in the race is Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendorfer. His wins came with Somethinaboutlaura (2007) and Tuscan Evening (2009).
Good Karma will make her first start in California for owner Arnold Zetcher and trainer Ben Cecil. The Italian bred filly by Tobougg and the Slewpy mare Greedy Slewpy has won six of 14 and banked $273,861. The 4-year-old has lost six in a row, three of those defeats coming in the United States. In her most recent outing, Good Karma was eighth of 10 in a $61,613 allowance April 11 at Keeneland.
Calle Vista enters after an off-the-board finish in the American Beauty, a race captured by eventual Gamely winner Belle Royale. Owned by breeder Diamond A Racing Corporation and trained by Hall of Famer Richard Mandella, the 6-year-old Pleasantly Perfect mare out of the Oak Dancer mare Campagnarde is 4-for-12 with earnings of $167,740.
A Jealous Woman is back with open company after finishing sixth of seven in the B. Thoughtful, a Cushion Track race for California breds April 28. The 6-year-old daughter of Muqtarib, who is owned by Three Cent Stable and trained by Francis Meza, has won five of 13 and earned $239,016. She's won two of four over the Betfair Hollywood Park turf – both when A Jealous Woman was trained by Bill Spawr.
Hard to Resist earned her first local score when taking an optional claimer by a neck May 3. Peter Eurton trains the 4-year-old Johannesburg filly out of the Gulch mare Anja for a partnership that includes Sharon Alesia, Bran Jam Stable, Ciaglia Racing and Rob Dyrdek. Hard to Resist has won three of 10 and earned $126,040.
From inside out, the field for the Redondo Beach Stakes: Hard to Resist, David Flores rides, 119 pounds; Calle Vista, Martin Garcia, 115; Broken Dreams, Kevin Krigger, 115; Briecat, Joe Talamo, 115; A Jealous Woman, Rafael Bejarano, 115; Star Billing, Victor Espinoza, 121; All Star Heart, Brice Blanc, 121 and Good Karma, Garrett Gomez, 115.

I love maps. No... I'm serious. I really, really love maps. They are beauty and order; adventure and mystery; art and information. They appeal to every aspect of my personality. I think that, for me at least, they are the one perfect medium, the perfect thing.
Now you all may not be as freaky about maps as I am, though I'm sure some of you make me look hesitant by comparison, but I do know this: you all love maps. If you didn't, you wouldn't be reading this, and you probably wouldn't
When I was a little kid, about six or seven, my sister and I were home after school and my mom was at work. It was a different world, so we thought at least, and leaving your kids home alone at base housing didn't seem like child abuse then the way it does now. Of course, neither did drinking or smoking while you were pregnant. Who knew?
So we were home and we decided to do one of those things that kids do that make you question the wisdom of letting them stay home alone at a tender
Some of you who've bothered to read my blogs have probably wondered what, if anything, they have to do with cartography. I admit that oftentimes, any relationship I could come up with would seem tenuous at best. That's a shame in some ways, because cartography itself is a subject spanning all nations and all of recorded history. It is art and literature, biology, geography, geology, business, finance, science, mythology, history, lore, fantasy... I am hard-put to find a single aspect of human experience
Finding time. It sounds like a pursuit requiring a geeky-looking metal detector and a blue plastic bucket, wandering up and down the beach in flip-flops and a straw hat. I actually have the hat, but my metal detector is in the shop... meaning I haven't bought it yet.
I wish it were that easy, because I could use more of it. Between kids and softball and wives (present and ex) and the job and college and the weekly Pathfinder game and reading, it's a wonder I find time without a metal
When I was a teenager, I could have listed any number of desirable qualities in a person. In fact, I'm sure I did. Exhaustively. To anyone who would listen. One of those qualities was probably not "reliable" however. There were plenty of adjectives like "imaginative", "original" and "you've got to haggle", but "reliable" would have been reliably missing.
Now that I have surprisingly survived to the ancient age of seven-and-forty, I see things a bit differently. Part of wisdom is learning

text: Just wondering what the speed difference would be if I removed the excess 5-6 inches of center serving on my FC400. It's a constant serving from the top TRG/SOS location down to the area where the TRG/SOS can be mounted lower. Just trying to decide if it's worth the hassle. Figured I might gain a couple fps, and maybe a little less noise. Thanks all!

Living Room
A sophisticated, understated gray bathes the perimeters, showcasing the rich architectural details. The shell also provides a glamorous backdrop for furniture covered in civilized shades of ivory, classic and modern artwork, and arresting exterior views.
Alluding to the warm tones in the botanical prints, a round table draped in decadent coral velvet damask rests in the room's center. A tailored chaise with a simple, graceful profile and matching carved armchairs are spotlighted in a corner. Above, a classic oil painting emphasizes the height of the grand space.

Andrew Agozzino
Vaughan Ontario
Eligible for draft:
Free agent signing, 2013
185 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2007-08: Andrew Agozzino made his OHL debut with the Niagara IceDogs as a 16-year old and played for Canada Ontario in the 2008 U17 World Hockey Challenge. He scored 12 goals in 10 games and was +3 with 47 penalty minutes in 50 games with Niagara. The IceDogs finished second in the Central Division and reached the second round in the playoffs. Agozzino did not play in any playoff games. He scored 5 goals with 2 assists and had 12 penalty minutes in six games as Canada Ontario captured the gold medal at the WHC.
2008-09: Agozzino was the leading scorer for Niagara in his second OHL season. He scored 27 goals with 29 assists in 67 games and was -10 with 88 penalty minutes. The IceDogs finished fourth in the Central Division but reached the second round in the playoffs after finishing under .500. Agozzino scored 6 goals with 5 assists in 12 playoff games and was -5 with 24 penalty minutes.
2009-10: Agozzino played for the Columbus Blue Jackets in the Traverse City rookie camp but was not signed to a contract and returned to Niagara for his third season with the IceDogs. He made his pro hockey debut at the end of the season – playing in two April games for the American Hockey League's Peoria Rivermen on an amateur tryout contract. He was +1 with no points nor penalty minutes with Peoria. Agozzino was named a team captain for Niagara during the season and was the IceDogs' leading scorer for the second straight year. He scored 37 goals with 29 assists in 66 games and was +15 with 95 penalty minutes. Niagara finished fourth in the Central Division and played the Ottawa 67′s in the first round of the playoffs. Agozzino scored 3 goals with 2 assists in five playoff games and was -6 with 15 penalty minutes.
2010-11: Agozzino attended the Tampa Bay Lighting's prospect camp before returning to Niagara for his fourth OHL season. The IceDogs were one of the NHL's top teams with big name prospects like Ryan Strome (NYI) and brothers Freddie and Dougie Hamilton (San Jose and Boston) and finished second in the Central Division. Agozzino was the third- leading scorer for Niagara with a team-leading 43 goals and 31 assists in 68 games and was +32 with 73 penalty minutes. The IceDogs advanced to the Eastern Conference finals against Mississauga-St. Michael's. Agozzino scored 11 goals with 7 assists in 20 playoff games and was +4 with 16 penalty minutes.
2011-12: Agozzino returned to Niagara for a fifth season and was the team's leading scorer. In 67 games he scored 40 goals with 48 assists and was +32 with 67 penalty minutes. The IceDogs finished first in the Central Division and reached the OHL Finals against London. Agozzino scored 11 goals with 7 assists in 20 playoff games and was +4 with 16 penalty minutes.
2012-13: Agozzino was signed to an AHL contract by Colorado AHL affiliate Lake Erie and was the team's leading scorer in his first pro season. He scored 20 goals with a team-high 32 assists in 76 games and was +16 with 73 penalty minutes. Lake Erie finished third in the North Division but missed the AHL playoffs. Agozzino was signed to a two-year, entry-level contract by Colorado in March, 2013.
Talent Analysis
Agozzino was a pure goal scorer for the Niagara Ice Dogs and twice topped 40 goals in a season. He holds multiple franchise offensive records for the Ice Dogs including total points. Agozzino has an excellent snapshot that can drive opposing goalies crazy with its speed and accuracy.
Agozzino led the Lake Erie Monsters in scoring his rookie year and his production has not tailed off in his sophomore season. He provides the Avalanche with an excellent option for call up if there is an injury to their top nine forwards. He does not have the breakaway speed at the NHL level, but he should excel in a secondary scoring and checking line role.

The Left has caught the vapors or the fantods over a recent Bloomberg News article that suggested Jeep may move some of its manufacturing capacity to China.
From Bloomberg:
Fiat is in "very detailed conversations" with its Chinese partner, Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. (2238), about making Jeeps in the world's largest auto market, said Mike Manley, chief operating officer of Fiat and Chrysler in Asia. Chrysler hasn't built Jeeps there since before Fiat took control in 2009.
"The volume opportunity for us is very significant," Manley, who is also president of the Jeep brand, said in an interview...

Iran to boycott 'Zionist' brands
Ahmadinejad UN 311.
(photo credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Iran has banned "Zionist companies" in an amendment signed by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Army Radio reported on Wednesday. The blacklist is made up of supposedly "Jewish-owned" American companies like IBM, Intel and Coca-Cola.The boycott comes as a reaction to American and UN sanctions against Iran.The amendment was added to a new law passed in reaction to the Gaza flotilla incident, titled "The Palestinian Support Law," in which Teheran seeks to support Palestinians while isolating Israel, Army Radio reported. The Iranian Foreign Ministry is responsible for making sure the boycott is carried out.Ahmadinejad also announced that he planned to propose similar laws in international forums, such as the UN, the Arab League and the Muslim Forum.RELATED:Are sanctions kicking in?Ahmadinejad: No talks until AugustUN sanctions panel receives 92
reportsGlobal trade union rejects call to boycott
IsraelAhmadinejad's threat did not necessarily knock anyone off their chairs in Jerusalem, with one Foreign Ministry official saying, "This is the Arab boycott, the Persian version. It is not really serious."The Iranian threat comes a day after Israel's ambassador to the US, Michael Oren, warned that Iran might respond to sanctions passed against it in the US last week with terrorist violence in the Middle East.In an interview with Foreign Policy magazine, Oren said Teheran would respond to the sanctions by either returning to the negotiating table or by starting a war to divert attention from the sanctions and its nuclear program. He said that in the latter case, it would use Hamas and Hizbullah to attack Israel and perhaps others.Oren stated that it was basically a matter of seeing who could hold out longer, and that the international community must persevere in enforcing the sanctions.Oren also commented on US President Barack Obama's Israel policy, saying that the more experience the administration got in dealing with the Middle East, the more it would sympathize with Israel's position.He said that despite US and international calls for further loosening Israel's Gaza blockade, opening another land crossing or adding EU monitors would be dangerous.Israel would "love" to see a greater role for the Palestinian Authority in the Gaza Strip, but opening sea lanes to Gaza would lead to the end of the peace process, he said.Oren also said that to the best of his knowledge, the US was satisfied with Israel's internal investigation into the Gaza flotilla incident. However, he added that he didn't know whether it would support Israel's position if the UN insisted on carrying out an international probe.Jerusalem Post staff contributed to this report.

Really great delivery time; husband is impressed with the glasses and won't put them down!
Delivery and efficient service. Glasses of good quality but difficult to handle. Prefer Folding Glasses (rimless bottom), stronger and faster to unfold. Prices higher than these, why? Because of pocket?
Very fast delivery. Great seller. Beautiful glasses.

Delhaize Group CEO to step down as Food Lion overhaul boosts profit
By Emily Ford
SALISBURY — Delhaize Group, the Belgian grocer and parent company of Food Lion, today reported a profit and announced CEO Pierre-Olivier Beckers plans to retire by the end of the year.
Both Food Lion and Delhaize America are headquartered in Salisbury.
Delhaize Group reported revenue growth of 2.1 percent for the first quarter, comparable store sales growth of 1.9 percent in the U.S. and 2.4 percent in Belgium and underlying operating margin of 3.9 percent.
The group's increase in operating profit was the first in six quarters, raising hopes that cost-cutting measures and an overhaul of Food Lion stores are starting to pay off.
The profit was particularly helped by revenue growth at Delhaize America and Delhaize Belgium.
Phase four of the Food Lion rebranding effort will begin next week, bringing total revamped stores to 78 percent of the grocery chain.
In response to increasing competition and a shrinking market share, Delhaize in 2011 began overhauling the Food Lion chain, cutting prices, improving fresh produce and rolling out more private labels for price-conscious shoppers.
Beckers said today Delhaize Group will continue to make "significant investments in our strategic initiatives" for the remainder of 2013.
"We had a strong first quarter driven by positive revenue growth and profitability at Delhaize America and Delhaize Belgium, partly supported by favorable weather conditions," Beckers said in a statement. "Food Lion repositioned stores continue to perform well, and in Belgium consumer patterns proved to be more robust than expected."
Delhaize America laid off about 350 corporate employees earlier this year as part of a continuing reorganization that started in December with the ouster of Cathy Green Burns as Food Lion president.
Delhaize does not report earnings by chain but announced in January that Food Lion had recorded its best quarterly performance since 2006 during the fourth quarter of 2012.
Food Lion has been battling for market share in North Carolina, competing against Walmart, Harris Teeter, Aldi and others. Florida-based Publix also is moving into the Carolinas.
In 2012, Food Lion closed 113 underperforming stores and pulled out of Florida. Delhaize America also shut down the Bloom brand.
As part of Delhaize's succession plan, Beckers will stay in his post until a new CEO is appointed. He will continue to serve on the board after stepping down as CEO.
Beckers joined Delhaize Group in 1983. He has been a director of the company since 1995 and was appointed president and CEO in January 1999.
Under his leadership, Delhaize transformed itself from a Belgian company with an international presence to an integrated group. Since 1999, the number of stores has grown from 1,904 to 3,411 in 10 countries on three continents.
Delhaize Group has increased its growth profile with 30.7 percent of the stores now located in growth markets generating 14 percent of the group's revenues, compared to less than 5 percent when Beckers took office.
