INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 16, 2009) — Australian-bred Red Arrow gained the lead shortly after the break, opened a two-length advantage on the turn for home and held off a late charge by Paul's Hope in the stretch to score an upset victory under jockey Joe Talamo in Saturday's $100,000 Los Angeles Handicap at Hollywood Park.
The 6-year-old prevailed by three-quarters of a length while covering six furlongs on Cushion Track in 1:08.92 to register his first stakes win in the Grade III event.
"My horse ended up on the lead on his own and he was just cruising," said Talamo, who rode two winners Saturday. "I was watching the replay of this horse last time at Golden Gate Fields and it looked like he went head-and-head early and really wasn't comfortable. Today John said to ride him with confidence. "
Red Arrow paid $18.80, $9 and $6 as the longest price at 8-1 in the well-matched field of eight older horses. Paul's Hope, ridden by Joel Rosario, returned $9.80 and $6.20. Dehere Again, another Australian-bred making his U.S. debut with Aaron Gryder up, finished 1 ½ lengths back in third, paying $5.60 to show.
Siren Lure, the 2006 Los Angeles victor, ran fourth, a head back of Dehere Again and a head in front of Guns On the Table. Favorite Doppio was sixth.
Red Arrow, trained by John Sadler for Gary and Cecil Barber, has now won three of five U.S. starts and four of 15 races overall. Back-to-back wins early in the year earned him a trip north where he faded to fourth after leading in the Golden Gate Sprint. He banked $60,000 Saturday to boost his earnings to $175,482.
"We thought that he would run really well and that this race was coming up right," said Sadler, who sent out a pair of winners. "He had a four on the sheets at Santa Anita and then we shipped him up north. Sometimes horses don't ship that well so it was a little disappointing that he got caught up in a speed duel up there. We bounced back with a good race here today."
Paul's Hope, whose determined run through the stretch fell a little short, was the second-highest price at 7-1 and completed a $75.70 exacta.
"My horse ran big," Rosario said of the runner-up. "Nobody went with the winner. He went fast, but nobody went with him. My horse kept coming and coming, but at six furlongs it's tough to catch the only speed."
Rosario rode three winners on the program and leads the jockeys' standings by a 29-25 margin over defending champ Rafael Bejarano, who was at Pimlico where finished sixth aboard Papa Clem in the Preakness Stakes.
With a Pick Six carryover of $103,769 entering Satuday's card, an additional $533,035 was wagered. Ten perfect tickets were worth $39,969.80 each.
Racing resumes Sunday at Hollywood Park with a 1 p.m. post time.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 27, 2014
NEW YORK, NY – Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer and education and technology advocates today called for reforms to city schools' technology curriculum and purchasing policies to better prepare them for a tech-driven world, in advance of next week's statewide vote on Proposal 3, a $2 billion school bond authorization.
"There's no other way to put it: our public schools are behind in almost all aspects of technology," said Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer. "The technology gap begins with a lack of adequate internet access, extends to insufficient staff training and curricula, and ultimately the failure to offer students any certification in technology proficiency that can help them advance their education or get a job."

With the first case of Ebola diagnosed in New York City yesterday, it is easy to let fear take hold. The reality is that Ebola is less contagious than Measles or SARS, and can only be caught through direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone who is sick.
New York City has been preparing for months to keep New Yorkers safe from this outbreak, and we're tough. We'll get through this.

The Office of Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer is pleased to announce the Fall 2014 Community Board Leadership Series.
This series is designed to cover introductory and advanced topics useful to prospective, newly-appointed and experienced community board members as well as appointees serving on numerous other boards: BID, CEC, CAB, SWAB, museums. Trainings will be conducted at both uptown and downtown locations.

When I first introduced a resolution in support of the .nyc domain name as a City Council Member in 2008, I had high hopes for what the domain could become. After all, Paris, Berlin, and othe global cities already had their own top-level domains. Today, after years of hard work and determination from the City, and the approval of ICANN, the web-governing body, anyone in New York City can establish a unique, local web presence with a ".nyc" web url.
As the early success of the .nyc roll-out has shown, this is a tremendous opportunity for local businesses, organizations, institutions, and entrepreneurs to show that their work is "Made in NYC."
To think, it all started when I was shopping for furniture and trying to "buy local"!
The Manhattan Borough Board will meet Thursday, October 16, 2014, at 8:30 A.M. in the Manhattan Borough President's Office, 1 Centre Street, 19th Floor South, New York, N.Y.
Team of facilitators selected, labor representative from Build Up NYC added to making recommendations for area
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 30, 2014
NEW YORK, NY – The East Midtown Steering Committee, a planning group co-chaired by Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer and City Councilmember Daniel R. Garodnick to set the framework for a new greater East Midtown area, has finalized the group's membership and will proceed with its first formal session today, aided by a team of facilitators.
A facilitation team has been hired to help the committee conduct its discussions. The team will be led by John Shapiro, Chair of the Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment at Pratt Institute. The team will also include Geoffrey Wiener, formerly the Assistant Vice President of Facilities Planning at Columbia University; David Burney, former Commissioner of the NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) from 2004 to 2014; and Jonathan Martin, who was the facilitator for the South Street Seaport Working Group, the first pre-ULURP planning group created by Borough President Brewer.
"These highly experienced planners, facilitators, and land use experts will assist the Steering Committee throughout this process," Borough President Gale A. Brewer said. "I believe robust community participation is necessary with any significant rezoning and this experienced facilitation team will help us get the plan right for East Midtown." Read more...
My office, in coordination with the NYC Departments of Sanitation (DSNY) and Education (DOE) sponsored "Day of Action" today to help raise awareness about the NYC Organics Collection Program, an effort to cut the solid waste produced by city public school cafeterias and produce nutrient-rich compost in the bargain.
During today's morning school drop-off period, my staff and I fanned out to distribute flyers explaining the program at targeted schools across Manhattan.
The Organics Collection Program grew out of a pilot program that I helped launch with a group of parents in eight West Side schools two and half years ago. The program now has over 100 participating schools in Manhattan, and by October, all 114 DOE schools in Manhattan (and hundreds more in the other boroughs) will be part of the Organics Collection Program.
In addition, as part of a pilot project to expand the program beyond schools, the DSNY is already collecting compostable waste from over two dozen residential buildings along the school pickup routes—adding about 17,000 households to the composting flow. If you'd like to see if your building qualifies, apply here.
Since food waste comprises 40% of a typical school's waste output, this program has a potential to significantly reduce the city's solid waste expenses, and produce a beneficial product too. What's more, by cutting down on the amount of food scraps in trash bags that sit on sidewalks, we can help reduce rodent population and have cleaner sidewalks.
But the biggest challenge to the effectiveness of the program is keeping "contamination" to a minimum—making sure that food and food-soiled paper goes into one bin, and recyclable materials into another, and NON-recyclable materials into a third. High contamination in the food-related bins can render that bin unusable for compost.
To help ensure this program's success in Manhattan schools, in August I called together representatives from DC 37, 32 BJ, Local 891, and the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators CSA) to sit down with DSNY and DOE to explore how best to support union members working in school cafeterias and kitchens.
With the help of everyone—parents, students, cafeteria staff and school administrators—we can help our kids achieve something great from the results of thousands of simple individual actions: separating food trash and recyclables from non-recyclables. That's a lesson worth learning (and it all grew from a handful of parent/activists on the West Side!).
Government transparency and open data have remained an important concern during my years of public service. As a City Council member, I was proud to sponsor NYC's Open Data Law, which unlocked a treasure trove of data about our streets, crime, restaurant inspections, and other information gathered by city agencies.
But that law was only the first step, as "open" data doesn't automatically mean "useful" data. More work needs to be done to make data usable and actionable for the average New Yorker.
That's why I'm welcoming 15 technology interns from The City University of New York (CUNY) to help my office and Manhattan's Community Boards navigate city data in ways that help neighborhoods make informed decisions and ensure that our government is truly transparent.
Funded with a CUNY Service Corps grant, the interns will help us create effective ways to visualize vital city information—through spreadsheets, graphs, neighborhood mapping, and other means. They will also help us deliver this user-friendly data to Community Board chairs, district managers, and committee chairs to aid their decisions about planning, development, and land-use. Read the press release...
As New York City and the nation remember the lives tragically lost and the incredible heroism displayed thirteen years ago today, we must not forget the New Yorkers from all walks of life who responded to the attacks.
I'm talking about those who rushed to Ground Zero to dig for survivors through smoky, dust-filled rubble; those who worked round-the-clock on cleanup; and those who returned to the surrounding neighborhoods when officials declared the air safe to breathe when it was not.
Almost 55,000 New Yorkers and nearly 5,000 New Jerseyans are participating in the World Trade Center Health Program. Some 30,000 responders, workers, and residents have at least one illness or injury caused by the attacks or their aftermath and are receiving treatment. As a result of exposure to the toxins released by the attacks, at least 2,900 have been certified with a cancer by a medical panel created under the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act (a five-year program that must be renewed in 2016). Included in those who are ill are over 800 FDNY and 550 NYPD personnel who have had to leave their jobs. Over 70 firefighters and 60 police officers have died from their illnesses since 9/11; in fact, more NYPD officers have died from their injuries after 9/11 than died that day.
These men and women deserve their own monument—a permanent recognition of their courage, service, and personal sacrifice in and around Ground Zero in the weeks and months after the attacks. Such a monument is a valuable and utterly necessary addition to the experience provided by the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
-- In honor of Women's Equality Day, August 26, anniversary of passage of 19th Amendment --
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 26, 2014
NEW YORK – Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer, former Borough President C. Virginia Fields, Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney, attorney and daughter of former Manhattan Congresswoman Bella Abzug Liz Abzug, Executive Director of the NYC Campaign Finance Board Amy Loprest, President of the National Organization for Women NYS Zenaida Mendez, Hunter High School student Sarina Gupta, joined other women leaders today to urge New Yorkers to "Take the Pledge" to register five women as voters by the October 10, 2014, registration deadline in honor of Women's Equality Day, marking August 26 as the anniversary of passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution granting women the right to vote in 1920.
"Today is formally recognized as Women's Equality Day thanks to Bella Abzug," said Brewer. "And thanks to her and thousands of our foremothers, women have made giant strides in the fight for equal treatment and opportunity. But much remains to be done, and if women don't register and don't vote, it will take even longer. That's why New York women should work to register other women—and make sure they turn out!"

And now, a tribute to Laurie.
Did you ever knooooow that your my heeeeeero…
This song brought to you by lemon's budget.
Hey ladies and gents… I know a lot of you may not have the correct pan for next weeks recipe. The alternate option is to go back and make one of the past recipes. We have covered quite a bit, and there are many in the back log that you may not have been a member for. Find one you like and bake it up!
xo~ Laurie
Yay! Thank you so much! Now to decide…
Oh wow. Perfect! Now I have to decide!
Oh, I am so glad. I just begged/guilted my husband into letting me buy a madeline pan, but I think I would rather not spend the money on it as yet.
I think I will make the madeleines – I have a pan – but I would also like to play catch-up with the wonderful looking "Black and White Cake." It would make a lovely party cake. So I might do both. So many cakes, so little time! I got the greatest compliment last week about the Tuesday with Dorie cakes – a co-worker asked me to make his family the carrot cake and the peanut butter torte for Mother's Day celebration. Everyone at work just loves the Dorie cakes. My cake order was successful – the adults raved about the carrot cake (I used a mascarpone frosting with cream) and the children loved the PB torte. It's the first order I have ever done and the cakes looked lovely as I packed them in the carriers ready for pick-up.
You can use a mini muffin pan if you do not have madeleine pans.
oh i am sooo happy about this….i was not sure about the madeleine's…i am jazzed to go back and try a recipe from before i joined. thank you thank you thank you!
oh and CB on the pineapple juice, my friend Janna at Honeyed Hashette (honeyedhashette.blogspot.com) said she had a fab recipe that used pineapple, maybe drop her a note at her blog and see if she uses the juice in hers.
Wicked! I was trying to figure out how I was going to fit in the search for a madeleine pan, but now I won't have to! It's dbf's birthday, and he was sad that I opted out on the marshmallows, so marshmallow's it will be!
CB.. there was one person who put pineapple in her recipe. Sorry that I can not remember who…
Oh awesome! Thank you!
Thank you! I've been on vacation and came back to the madeleines and of course I don't have the pan. My husband said if I bring any more kitchen gadgets in to the our house, something will have to go. Isn't that cruel?
I'll second peabody – mini muffin pans would work for the madeleines as well.
How cool, Tuesday morning next week will be quite interesting with all the different entries we'll get to see.
Just FYI – posted this on the other thread as well, but there is a Donna Hay recipe where she suggests baking them in spoons. You can see that here.
Oooh, yeah! Thanks Laurie, I'm anxious to get started and am also excited to go back and see what has been done so far. I would like to get the pan and try them someday. They're such pretty cookies.
Just posting this in both spots in case it helps anyone.
OK, so I decided I'd better put up or shut up. I just made the madeleines this afternoon after my update to the spoon idea above. So, here is a little more information for those not sure about making this recipe because you don't have the pan.
1. The spoon idea works, but my spoons are too shallow to make any madeleines that looked decent. I ended up using 10 large "teaspoons" plus a mini-muffin tin and there is still more unbaked batter in the fridge.
2. I lightly sprayed both the spoons and muffin tin with Baker's Joy and it really helped the muffin tin, but my shallow spoons overflowed a bit and "wrapped" around the sides of the spoon.
3. This recipe is delicious. I didn't have a lemon so I used orange zest and it was great.
4. Definately go the route of putting the batter into the pan and then into the fridge if you can.
So, bottom line. If I can, I will be getting a madeleine pan so that I can make these a lot easier and a lot more often.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
ooh bridget i was thinking about snickery squares, i have only done 2 weeks so far so there are a ton of things i want to try!!
carrie that looks divine, now i am all confuzzled on what to make. :)
OMG! I made the madeleines yesterday and they were amazing! I havent put them on my blog yet, but they will be getting rave reviews (thank goodness because I dont think I could survive another recipe like last weeks). They were sooooo yummy. The only trouble I ran into is that i over filled the molds and ended up with gigantic monster sized madeleines ha! so i'm Making them again tonight normal sized to put in my TWD post.
Made my alternate…the Quintuple Choco Brownies…these things are CRAZY RICH. Yummy!

Structure and governance
The operating revenue that enables the Organization to carry out its activities is presented below in a set of financial tables, which are externally audited and comply with international accounting standards.
Financial year 2012
For the financial year 2012, INTERPOL's operating income totalled EUR 70 million, of which 75 per cent was contributed by member countries, mostly in the form of statutory contributions (74 per cent). Income received on externally funded projects or from private foundations and/or commercial enterprises, with similar objectives or interests to INTERPOL, constituted 21 per cent of gross income. Financial income and reimbursements made up 4 per cent of the total.
Total ordinary operating expenditure amounted to EUR 70 million globally, with pay constituting the major cost component at 58 per cent of the total, followed by travel and conference costs (15 per cent ), third-party and other costs (8 per cent), maintenance expenses and premises running costs (3 per cent each), telecommunications costs associated with INTERPOL's global telecommunications system, I-24/7, office expenses, and other staff costs, at 2 per cent each. Depreciation expenditure constituted 7 per cent of the total.
The financial performance of INTERPOL saw a minor deficit during 2012, which was reduced from the Accumulated Reserve Funds of the Organization. Capital projects consumed EUR 4 million of financial resources.
Cash and cash equivalents increased during the year due mainly to an increase in externally sponsored projects executed by the Organization, and also an increase in its employee pension liabilities. Financial equity and reserves – represented by various funds – decreased by EUR 185,000 from the previous year due to the operational deficit in 2012.

well it is now down to personnel choice i would look at the lenses available for the cameras you like as this could be the deciding factor for you
Thanks Wave,
yes, I have been studying the lenses available too and once again theres nothing between Canon & Nikon, thats where they both score highly above Sony & Pentax really, the choice from their own ranges and from sigma tamron etc is more than adequate for my needs, nikon seem to be slightly cheaper there so the extra £100 or so I spend on the camera would be clawed back over the next few years I expect.
I have also been looking at getting a better photoshop program for my macbook if anyone can recommend something easy to get to grips with, I currently only have i-photo on the mac as only had it about 5 months having switched over from years of windows PC's (I had windows 95 & 98!)
I have photoshop among others on my old windows (Vista) laptop but cant be arsed to even switch it on it crashes so much!
i am a mac user and this is the way i go i shoot RAW and then my edit is with aperture3 if i need anything else like cloning cutting out the i use elements 9. if you go for element then get version 9 or above as that has layer masks in it.
my advice on cameras is dont settle for i will get used to it, make sure its right. like you i had the choice of canon or nikon i went with canon your choice could well be different. good luck
I know how you feel with camera choices, My brother has a Pentax which he dearly loves but I think they are a wee bit light when it comes to lenses.None of these makers make bad cameras, it's a matter of deciding which one suits your needs
As for software I'm a windows user and use Photoshop CS5 (with a few plugins) Photoshop do a shortened version of this, Photoshop elements which is also a great program. Paint shop pro x4 ultimate is my other program which is somewhere between CS and elements, it has a few extra tools that photoshop doesn't have , like page curl and Nikon colour effex ... Graham
...an excellent discussion that really reminded me of the same quandary I found myself in last year. As has been stated all the cameras referred to are excellent and all represent camera's that you can 'grow with'. One thing tho' sales person can ruin a pitch, and if you do not get on with them don't bother to buy as good after sales help and advice is worth a bit... just my pennies worth..for the record I opted for the 600D over the 550 at the time because of the swivel screen and haven't stopped experimenting since!!
Thanks all for your input, as i am new to the forum its nice to be welcomed and have my topic treated with fairness and respect - i was a bit dubious i'd get a few 'not another bloody newbie' comments! thanks for your helpful comments.
I havent been able to help myself - even at 42 i am still an impetuous child when it comes to new toys - just ask my wife ! (I have motorbikes, boats, mountain bikes, gym stuff etc. etc. in phases which she is sure I do just to annoy her! thank god for Ebay or i'd be sleeping in the garden!)
I havent played with one yet but going on specs and you tube video reviews etc and playing with other nikon models I have today ordered and paid for the nikon D5200 - it will be with me by next tuesday
The canon was a really close 2nd but i couldnt get away from the improved sensor, megapixel rate, focus points etc. it just seems higher spec all round and i think you should buy the best / highest model you can at the time to 'future proof' yourself, and new models do seem to come out every 3 to 6 months at the moment!
Can I just ask 1 question, which I may well be setting myself up for a roasting for...
On my old SLR cameras there were ISO settings which directly related to the film used - lower speed higher quality & colour higher speed used for lower light & higher shutter speeds - easy, you just took a roll or 2 of each in your bag and used what was relative on the day. So why in a digital SLR without any film are ISO settings still relevant? surely the sensor / lens will have such a dynamic operating range which could just be set via aperture & shutter speed? maybe a scene mode setting / sport / portrait / low light might be a help but it looks like most ISO setting advice is to leave it on auto anyway ?
- now feel free to bring me up to date ! my Pentax SLR has been in the loft for about 12 years so I have been at the mercy of compacts and bridge cameras since
Cant wait for my d5200 now!
cheers all
hi you have answered your own question in a way lower ISO better quality if you up the ISO the sensor gets more sensitive so low ISO better quality. to be honest i dont really auto much except the white balance and as i shoot RAW and can sort it out in post processing. I choose my ISO for what i am shooting my canon has the button on the top and i just adjust it when i need to. good luck with the new camera
You have sort of answered your own question , I rarely use auto ISO. I start at 100 and work up, you should get up to 1600 with very little noise and there always your high ISO noise reduction which is very good on a Nikon. Good luck on Tuesday and let us know how you get on... Graham
Hi again,
Well my slick new D5200 arrived today with the kit 18-55 DX VR lens and my additional 55-300 DX VR lens to complete my 'starting' kit.
Got the lot from procamerashop online for a smidge over £750 -very competitive, free delivery via UPS took 2 working days, 5 stars to them for help and service.
Very impressed with the whole thing so far, the auto focus is quick on both lenses with perhaps a little slowing towards the high end of the 300mm zoom when reasonably close to a subject.
the multiple AF points work well on auto and are easy to manage manually.
5 FPS shooting at high 24 mp jpeg seems unstoppable ! very good.
the camera is light enough for the wife yet not so that it ends up feeling nose heavy with the longer zoom fitted.
the grip isn't as good as the canon eos 650d but is still good.
the menu system is very easy and above all I can quickly get the thing to do what I want (pretty much !) and thats after just a few hours. now being able to manipulate depth and speed etc makes me want to throw all my old compacts in the bin!
One negative is the lenses have obviously been designed for AF only, you don't have a proper manual focus ring just a bit of a knurled top to the lens, you can manual focus but its not really designed for it.
I like having the main buttons on the right being right handed, the screen quality is excellent.
picture quality (I have only messed about in the garden as light was fading then in the kitchen) is very good.
I have to say apart from the manual focus rings on the lenses it is excellent.
Now I need to get either a macro lens (will have to be cheap!) or some adapter rings ... if they are any good?
I have ordered a couple of UV & polarising filters, bloody hell ! the budget has gone by some margin now !
welcome to the world of photography good luck

- Great bag!!!

I received the 300 bag for Christmas and I love it! I have a 100 shell bag that was my mother's from years ago and I wanted another one that was bigger. This bag is big but not too big and it isn't as cumbersome as I thought it would be to go in and out of the buckles. I am able to open just one side to reach my wallet. I have it in burgundy and it's a great color-vibrant but not too bright. This bag lets me just carry one instead of a purse and separate bag for kid stuff. Great job, DP!

I am so happy that I ordered this bag. I tend to carry my life around with me (busy mom with a 4 year old). The 300 fits everything (wallet, phone, snacks, water bottle, book, etc) comfortably. Thinking about ordering the 100 as well.

- Great as small camera bag

I use the #100 Double Shell Bag to hold my Olympus Micro-Four-Thirds camera System. It easily holds the Camera and 3 lenses. I have 2 of the lenses in neoprene pouches and the third one attached to the camera body. I added the 12 inch strap extension so that it could comfortable hang across my body.
Light, comfortable and it doesn't look like a camera bag.

Just bought this bag when I was in Minnesota a week ago and I love it. I am hard on my things and this bag is handing my wear and tear very well. I am on this website cause I want another, but based on the reviews below, I might not need another one for awhile....still, don't know if that weill stop me!

- The #100 is a bag for everyday carry

From the day I found this bag it has become a part of my life. It hangs on a hook by the door and travels with me when ever I leave the house, whether I am off to work or just heading down the creek to play with my kids. One of the double front pockets carries an Otter Box 2000 containing a few everyday carry essentials and the other a 6x4 notepad and my wallet. The main pouch fits my Mora knife, lunch and a handful of essentials tailored for the day. I can fill it up and still carry it comfortably.
The leather straps with their brass hardware are durable and handsome. I was concerned that the buckles would be fiddly but did not want to use a bag with a more modern latch. I have been pleased with the ease that the buckles open and fasten closed again. The shoulder pad carries comfortably on my shoulder but took a couple of weeks to mold to a more anatomical contour.
This is the bag that I searched so long to find. Well done Duluth Pack

It is a few centimeters too small to hold my laptop, but other than that, it is perfect! It looks great and holds everything I need without my feeling like a bag lady.

This is a great smallish briefcase. I have used(abused) it daily for 5 years with little signs of wear. I think it will out live me.

I own a Duluth Pack shoulder bag as well, and though this is smaller, I actually use it more often, since its twin outside pockets are so useful. Can be used to haul a compact or SLR camera, several guide books, water bottle, with side pockets full of snacks--perfect size and shape for exploring a city all day! Very well made, every stitch and rivet perfectly placed. Leather strap is tough but elegant, makes it more dressy that a cotton strap.
I've used British-made canvas bags for twenty odd years, and yet I prefer this bag for my travels, accompanied by other Duluth Pack bags.
