LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- A homicide investigation is underway after a man's body was found inside Barn 8 in the backside area of Churchill Downs just before 5 a.m. on Sunday.
The Jefferson County Coroner said Adan Fabian Perez, 48, of Guatemala was found dead Sunday morning. The Kentucky Racing Commission confirmed that Fabian Perez has been a licensed groom since 2008.
According to the staff at Churchill Downs, Fabian Perez had been living in the dorms while he was working in the backside area.
Homicide detectives said Fabian Perez's injuries indicate he was involved in some sort of altercation, the nature of which is unknown.
"Our homicide detectives got to the scene and they were able to determine that there was foul play involved. However, we still don't have an exact cause of death. So, we'll await the coroner's report for those details," said Alicia Smiley, LMPD Spokesperson.
Angel Montano owns Barn 8. He told WHAS11 that his worker discovered the body, but he did not know the victim.
"The barns themselves have various stalls for the horses. He was found in the barn and not in the stall with a horse or anything," said Smiley
Police said there was no evidence of struggle in the barn and Fabian Perez's cause of death was not immediately obvious.
According to ABC News, Fabian Perez was identified by his 19-year-old son, Wilson Deejesus Fabian Perez.
"Everyone was excited about the Derby. So, it was like a regular party scene, people drinking, having fun and having a good time," said barn worker, Keegan Murray.
"At this point we don't have anything pointing to the fact that this would have had any association with Churchill Downs or the Derby itself," said Smiley.
Some people are speculating about what may happen at Churchill Downs in the aftermath of the investigation.
"I think you're going to see even more security on the backside and more watchfulness on the part of the track. Because it's not only a human tragedy when something happens like this, but it's bad business for the track," said Courier Journal columnist Eric Crawford.
Police do not have any suspects.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 574-LMPD.

Hi Kelly,
The Joint National Committee defines four blood pressure categories.
Very High Range - Stage 2 Hypertension
Systolic (top) blood pressure 160 mm Hg or high
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure 100 mm Hg or higher
If in this range you have hypertension (high blood pressure).
High Range - Stage 1 Hypertension
Systolic (top) blood pressure 140 - 159 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure 90 - 99 mm Hg
If in this range you have hypertension (high blood pressure).
Caution Range - Prehypertension
Systolic (top) blood pressure 120 - 139 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure 80 - 89 mm Hg
Take action!
Normal Range - Normal
Systolic (top) blood pressure below 120 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure below 80 mm Hg
A diastolic (bottom) blood pressure number of 100 puts you in the very high range and you should consult your MD to determine the best treatment option.
All the best,

Lisa's answer and information are very good to know. but don't be alarmed though. how did you take your BP, did you use an electronic device? if you did, I can't tell you
anything because I don't believe in those devices. Yes, consult with a doctor and have then take your BP. If they happen to believe you have high BP, then FORCE them to give you a 24 hour BP test before you start taking drugs.

San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks fans, as expected, you have made your voices heard on a recent article of mine, Russell Wilson is Overrated. I appreciate your comments and understand that many of you think this view is a little, well, out of the ordinary considering Wilson's recent success. Which leads to a quick clarification: I never called Russell Wilson bad.
Yes, Russell Wilson is a good quarterback, but he's not Peyton Manning good. He has shown a knack for making plays — but so did Colin Kaepernick last year, and look what happened to him when he lost his weapons. And even though Wilson has played well, the praise he has earned seems to go over the top.
As for Wilson sliding and running all over the place: that does not help very much when the offensive line lets him get clobbered, like they did earlier in the season, and even the best sliders/divers/sideliners will get a few hits here and there. He has been able to withstand them so far, but I don't see it happening that much longer.
Wilson has played well, but even good players can be overrated. This is the case with Russell Wilson, a player who has had a good year — even with only 2 games of over 300 yards passing — in a great situation, but also has a seemingly lower ceiling than some of his fellow young QBs around the league.

Grass for energy: It's an idea that's getting around
Grass for energy can be grown on marginal land, even fields that are otherwise non-productive. Also, mulch-type hay could be used as a sustainable fuel source.
LOWVILLE, N.Y. -- The potential for grass energy crops to support a closed-loop, regional renewable energy system is being explored in northern New York State. Cornell University Crop and Soil Sciences Professor Jerry Cherney is scheduled to share his research findings at the North Country Clean Energy Conference to be held in Lake Placid June 4-6.
Cherney is evaluating grasses that can be grown on land that is not otherwise productive. He has evaluated mulch-type hay samples produced by more than 40 farmers in northern New York. The Northern New York Agricultural Development Program has posted the latest results of Cherney's grass energy biomass trials at www.nnyagdev.org.
Cherney is also developing best production practices for growing grass crops for bioenergy use. One focus area is how soil minerals may contaminate the surface of the grass grown for bioenergy use, significantly affecting the combustion efficiency, amount of heat produced per pound of pellets, and emissions.
Soil contamination of grass in the field is influenced by soil type, soil moisture, crop stubble height, the number of equipment passes over the field, rainfall between mowing and baling, and the type and calibration of harvesting equipment.
Dairyland Labs tested the NNY grass samples for 20 different elements. Cornell University tested the samples for gross energy content, measured as British Thermal Units or BTUs – the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
The gross energy content and total ash content of harvested grass affect combustion efficiency and the total amount of heat generated. Ash content testing would be less expensive than BTU analysis.
"Based on preliminary research results, it may be possible to accurately estimate the energy content of bales just by using ash content analysis to predict BTU, but we need to replicate this research over a number of years to determine the consistency that would allow us to make science-based recommendations," Cherney says.
This NNYADP grant project has grass trials at the Cornell Willsboro Research Farm in Willsboro, N.Y. and at the W.H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute in Chazy, NY. The trial at the Miner Institute includes a switchgrass variety developed by Resource Efficient Agricultural Production (REAP)-Canada. REAP estimates that two acres of grass can meet the space and water heating need of an average residence and save from $700 to $1000 per year in heating costs over liquid fossil fuels.
The Biomass Energy Resource Center in Vermont estimates that converting a residential gas or oil fossil fuel heating system to biomass would reduce net carbon dioxide emissions by 75 to 90 percent.
Cherney keeps a watchful eye on grass production and processing projects in Canada and nearly two dozen grass combustion projects in New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and New Jersey. Laboratories at Cornell University and SUNY Canton have conducted emissions testing on new high efficiency bioenergy heating appliances with funding from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
The results of the biomass grass trials and a separate trial by Cherney evaluating tall fescue varieties grown in northern New York in 2013 are posted under the Bio-Energy heading on the Northern New York Agricultural Development Program website at www.nnaygdev.org.
The Northern New York Agricultural Development Program is a farmer-driven research and technical assistance program serving Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.

My great grand daughter is a fourth generation Wilson student. I suppose I have nothing to compare to Wilson, but my experience over the years with the staff and the level of learning speaks for itself. Especially through my family. I am over 65. I attended Wilson and went on to become a Registered Nurse. My son was drum major and participated in band for 9 years before he graduated. He went on to become a Physical Therapy Aide My daughter graduated there and now is an employee of the school. My grandson graduated as well. Now, I have a first grader there and feel confident she will receive the best education just like her family before her. Great school and staff!
I was a student at Wilson High School, and I am enraged at some of the comments I am seeing about my alma mater, especially from parents and students who cannot use proper grammar or spelling. To those parents, take an interest in your student and make the first move to call the teacher or principal. I am sure they will make the time to talk to you. As for the students, if you'd listen in your classes, you wouldn't make such terrible spelling and grammatical errors in your posts. I attended WHS from 1st grade until I graduated, and was always encouraged by my teachers. They were always looking out for the students' best interest. They were also fair in their punishment of those students who chose to disrupt their classrooms.
I'm new to the area but I have had over 8 family members attend this school and now my children go here. It's a great environment.
The teachers and pricipals really care about the well being of the kids, they are fantastic, and we embark on many educational endevours. I would higly recommend this school for any parent looking for their child a bright future.
I love my school. I have been to many and this by far has been the best. I am a cheerleader here and the athletics are really good, as well as academics. I recomend this school.
I think there needs to be more communication between the parents and teachers more so in high school than element. Kids fall into more stuff in high school, than kindergarden, and I think there should be more communication between the principle and students (we have a new principle this year and I dont even know his name no letter from him nothing, I know it is also our responsibility to communicate but believe me I have tried, if you are not on any sporting event, or cheerleader, or a honor roll student they don't have time for you.
Well, i came to wilson in 1992 and graduated in 1997 those were some of the best years in my life. Every year for me there got better and better, and the teachers were great for examle: coach stejskal,coach bohon, they treated like family. The sports program was great when i played, i loved every bit of it, but all in all the students are what makes a school great, think about it!
I am currently a student in tah grade and I love this high school everybody is really cool and the teachers actually care about your learin career and want you to progress. its a really great school.
I went to Wilson and graduated in 1997. I had been going there since kindergarten and it was always and awesome school. My principal in 8th grade was Mr. Thompson and he was the best. The teachers are really caring and helpful and the didn't really act like they had favorites. The students were all equal. Some got in more trouble but that was their fault. Well, overall Wilson is one of the best schools in the county. Thank you for listening..
As a Jr. High student at Wilson I can say that this is a okay school. I don t think we get as much education as other Lauderdale county schools. Our school is very big and have many varieties of people. Also I think there should be more clubs and such for these grades. there are many fights here and bad things go on. still this schools is ok, but it is not the best. so keep this in mind as you choose a school!
Wilson School is not really that bad. It depends on the type of person you are.If you don't do your work then sure your going to get in trouble.If you do what you are told and stay out of trouble then your years will be fine.I do belive the principle should give more support to band, tennise, and the golf team.His focuss is on the cheerleaders and football players.Overall this school is not bad, but by know means is it perfect.- Student from Wilson
I am a student at Wilson High School.Wilson is the best school I have ever attended.I have to agree that it is not a ''perfect school'',but you cannot honestly say that there is a perfect school.I am in Jr. High and the years I have attended I enjoyed ever minute.To me ,Wilson is a wonderful school.The teachers are nice and they know what they are doing.Do not let some of these comments from parents lead you to think that Wilson is a bad school because they do not know,they do not go there every day like I do.I truely recomend sending your children to Wilson.
As a student at Wilson I can honestly say that this the worst school i have ever attended! The principle is mean and does not treat the students and the parents of the students as well as he treats the athletic staff! I am in the band and we do not get any support at all from him yet the football gets all the money and support they need! I just want to advise you that this is NOT one of the schools you would want to send your kids to, this school is very wrong in their teachings!
As a former student of Wilson High School, I can say, having attended several other high schools, that both the curriculum and the administration are lacking in the necessary relevance and competence needed to prepare a child for any future that doesn't include the phrase 'Would you like to make that the combo?' The lack of diversity and tolerance that this school teaches is disgusting. Attending Wilson High School was like jumping back 30 years. Sending a child to Wilson is condemning their future.
I graduated from Wilson in 1986, and now both of my children go there,one in jr. high and the other is a freshman in high school. I do feel that wilson was a much stronger school when Mr. Thompson was there. They were more disciplined and more respectful. I still think it is one of the better Lauderdale county schools, but it's not what it used to be.
Wilson High School is a great school. Students at Wilson are taught by highly qualified teachers who truly care about the student. Wilson High School allows every student to excel, they offer many advanced classes, that challenge students to think on a higher level and not just settle for the easiest answer. I would strongly suggest that you send your child to Wilson High School.
I have two kids attending Wilson High School and they love it. My kids are making friends for life with the other students. All the kids seem to look after one another. You don't see kids degrading one another or having an I'm better than you attitude. There are really no discipline problems at Wilson. All the kids seem to respect their teachers. The academics are good, their are advance classes for each subject. It will depend on if your child is willing to take the more difficult cources. High School needs to be a fun learning experience. I know my childern will look back on their school days with fond memories and joy. Wilson is a great school.
my boys have adhd and the teachers dont no to much about it and how to deal with them they need to go and learn more about it because the way they have done my kids this year is so bad.
I think this school is great, but our atheletics stink!!!!! Overall it's a good school.
As a student here at Wilson, I feel I can say its awful, their way of dealing with decipline is sending the kids to a military drill sargent(ISS) which is In School Suspension- personally I'd rather be just suspended and get zeros for all of my work, I dont see how any school gets away having something like this- a grown man getting paid for screaming and yelling at kids for something as simple as not having paper or pencils for class, hope he likes his jobs- David Weiss.

The roster decisions really come down to the few choices. There six or seven spots open: Two for extra infielders, one for a fifth outfielder, two or three in the bullpen and one for a fifth starter.
But, based on what Dusty Baker said yesterday, I think there's a good chance that all the fifth starter candidates – Mike Leake, Travis Wood and Aroldis Chapman — begin the year in the minors. The Reds don't need a fifth starter until April 11.
"(We might) carry another position player until then," Baker said. That would mean a sixth outfielder or a seven infielder.
Let's look at each of the spots (for about 30th time):
–Bullpen: I think they are three slots open. Jared Burton was close to a lock coming into camp. But he's struggled (four home runs in eight innings) and Logan Ondrusek and Justin Lehr have been very good.
My guess is the two of the slots will go to Micah Owings and Mike Lincoln. Owings adds a good bat. Lincoln makes $2 million.
As for the third slot, I think it will be Burton, Ondrusek or Lehr. The fact that Lehr is not on the roster hurts him.
–Infield: This is the hardest to figure out. The only lock I see is Paul Janish. He's the best fielder of the group, and he's hit this spring (.310/.344/.610). Miguel Cairo and Chris Burke aren't on the roster and haven't hit enough to merit a spot. So I see the second job coming down to Aaron Miles, Juan Francisco and Drew Sutton. Miles is owned $2.7 million. But he's 4-for-28 this spring and coming off a year in which he hit .185. Sutton is down to .233 after a good start. He's also made three errors at short. Francisco is the most intriguing guy of the bunch. He probably needs more time in Triple-A. But he's hit this spring (.310/.344/.610).
Fifth starter: It's between Leake and Wood, with Chapman an outing or two from joining the fray. Who makes out of camp? Today's a big day. All three are pitching. But, again, I think there's good chance none of them break camp with the club. The Reds don't need a fifth starter until April 11.
Fifth outfielder: It's down to Laynce Nix and Wladimir Balentien. Balentien is on the roster and out of options. But because of the situation with the fifth starter, both could make it. Another possibility is Francisco makes it. If they go with 11 pitchers and 14 position players, I think you'll see Nix or Francisco on the roster to provide pop off the bench.
Tomorrow's going to an interesting day. That's when the big cut down will happen.
You also have 40-man considerations. Nix and Lehr two players I see as strong candidates to make the club aren't on the roster, and there's not any fat on it.

I think that sounds kind of lonely. But apparently it works for some people – a lot of people. A New York Times article recently delved into the prevalence of the practice:
Nearly one in four American couples sleep in separate bedrooms or beds, the National Sleep Foundation reported in a 2005 survey. Recent studies in England and Japan have found similar results. And the National Association of Home Builders says it expects 60 percent of custom homes to have dual master bedrooms by 2015.
(Nerd note: to satisfy my own statistical curiosity, I want to know precisely what types relationships constitute a couple and how they were found.) Regardless, that seems like a high proportion. The article goes on to explore different reasons why this occurs. They bring up issues of children sleeping in the bed, technology disrupting late nights or early mornings, and other annoyances:
Separate sleepers cite a bevy of reasons for their habit, including apnea, restless leg syndrome, his insistence on watching "SportsCenter," her need to get up early for yoga. As Barbara Tober, the former chairwoman of the Museum of Arts and Design, told The New York Times recently, "Not that we don't love each other, but at a certain point you just want your own room."
To me, this brings up an interesting aspect of modern relationships. Could sleeping together be an antiquated part of relationships that is on its way out? Perhaps trends like getting married later in life are contributing to a people being older and more established when they find a partner, making the idea of just dealing with someone else's idiosyncrasies unpalatable. Originally, I imagine sleeping together was pretty important because that's where sex happened (thus the whole sleeping together euphemism I suppose), but it's hard to say whether or not that still holds. The NYT does later cite a psychiatry professor at University of Minnesota who claims that sex happens more frequently when couples share a bed (not a revolutionary discovery, methinks).
This discussion also makes me curious as to the number of couples who actually both want to sleep in separate beds. I imagine that rarely are both parties completely thrilled about the arrangement. I just imagine that suggestion coming from one person who has specific needs and the other person is just letting it go.
What do you think? Do you think the ideo of sleeping in the same bed is an antiquated idealistic notion? Or do you think these couples are selfishly choosing their own space over the health of their relationships?

Pau Gasol is going to say all the right things.
He isn't going to bash the Los Angeles Lakers, nor is he going to publicly put them through hell — which is kind of ironic. Despite, the problems that he's dealt with in Los Angeles (most recently with Mike D'Antoni), Gasol isn't afraid to say that he still loves the organization and would like to return to the team.
If they would welcome him back. That's the key.
After all, have you really met anyone that embraces change all that much? Probably not. Those people are few and further in between. And Gasol isn't any different. There's no question where his heart is right now.
In April.
Gasol says there's a chance he'll return to L.A. next season. But…"I have to be picky, put my personal [pro-Laker] feelings aside."
— Mike Bresnahan (@Mike_Bresnahan) April 13, 2014
Gasol is a pros-pro. He knows that the NBA is a business. And the fact that the Lakers have dragged his name through trade rumors for the past couple of seasons, and the fact that he's still showing admiration towards the organization, says a lot about who Gasol is and what he stands for.
But, it could also be his potential downfall. There is such a thing as not being selfish enough — and if Gasol isn't too careful, he'll fall right down that rabbit hole.
With all that said, there's always two sides to a story and, usually, it's always a two-way street. It's not different with any free agency decision. Gasol can't re-sign with the Lakers if the Lakers don't want to re-sign Gasol — and vice versa.
Pau Gasol will do one thing in July: "Listen." Free agency is coming soon for him. He'll be a popular guy. "It's a great position to be in."
— Mike Bresnahan (@Mike_Bresnahan) April 13, 2014
Gasol knows that he won't find himself in a bind. He knows that he's going to have options. The Lakers — on the other hand — are not going to be as fortunate. At least, not right now.
All indications seem to point to the summer of 2015 as the "big" summer for Los Angeles. That's the free agency period when they're really going to dip the company ink in the free agency pool. Not this offseason, which could both help and hurt Gasol.
But what should the Lakers do about Pau?
Should they re-sign a soon-to-be 34-year-old power forward in the midst of the beginning of a rebuilding situation? Or should they let Gasol walk freely, and look to put all their eggs in the 2014 NBA draft and the 2015 free agency period?
Tough questions.
Quite honestly, I really don't know what the Lakers are going to do. I don't think anyone really knows at the moment.
However, the educated answer would be to make a clean cut with the past. However, with Steve Nash still on the books for next season, that's just something the Lakers won't be able to do. There's also that whole Kobe Bryant insane extension. I suppose that isn't that bad, assuming that Kobe has been the Lakers brand for the past decade and change.
For all intents and purposes, Gasol and the Lakers need to both move on. They had great moments together and won a couple rings. It doesn't get much better than that. Heck, Gasol even evolved from silly putty to one of the better power forwards in this league. Most importantly, he found a home in LA — which isn't exactly as easy as it sounds.
The Lakers and Gasol have a great opportunity to leave on semi-good terms, depending on how you look at it.
Gasol isn't going to suffer from the Lakers not offering a contract and the Lakers are not going to suffer from not re-signing Gasol, at least you wouldn't assume they would.
The beauty of sports is when great athletes don't wear out their time on a certain team. And Gasol has the perfect opportunity to avoid that. The last thing I'd want to see is Lakers fans bashing Gasol (more than they already do), complaining about how he's not performing up to his contract.
Because we know that if Gasol re-signs, that's where this is heading.
For the sake of everyone, walk Gasol. Walk.

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights was set to vote on a 131-page draft report about the Obama administration's decision to drop the Black Panther voter intimidation case today — but a partisan Democratic member prevented the commission from doing its job. Michael Yaki walked out of the meeting before the vote, preventing the commission from reaching quorum, a procedural motion designed to stall for time. A report now seems unlikely to be released until after the midterm elections.
Advertisement-content continues below
However, the left-wing blog Talking Points Memo obtained a leaked copy of the report, which details credible allegations of Justice Department evasion, dissembling, and possible perjury before the commission. The document reveals a commission at the end of its rope dealing with a "recalcitrant" administration that refuses to investigate "serious allegations" of selective and racially discriminatory law enforcement, harassment of dissenters, and a politically controlled Justice Department bowing to the demands of left-wing pressure groups rather than the dictates of justice. (And contrary to TPM, "Much of the commission's draft report is" not in fact "based on an anonymously sourced story" that appeared in the media. As the report makes clear, several DoJ career officials exposed a pattern of wrongdoing in the decision making process that reached at least as high as the Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder.
The stakes could scarcely be higher. The draft report notes, "If the testimony before the Commission is true," the Justice Department's handling of the case would "encompass inappropriately selective enforcement of laws, harassment of dissenting employees, and alliances with outside interest groups, at odds with the rule of law."
Among its most serious allegations, it presents a conflict over the testimony of Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Thomas Perez that could indicate perjury. Perez testified under oath before the commission on May 14 that the decision to drop the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party after the case had essentially been won was simply "a case of career [Justice Department] people disagreeing with career people." He testified there had been no "political leadership involved in the decision not to pursue this particular case."
His testimony was a catalyst for both Christopher Coates and J. Christian Adams to ignore a Justice Department gag order and correct the record.
Advertisement-content continues below
And the report makes clear, at least five separate officials have corroborated aspects of Adams' and Coates' testimony.
Political Officials May Have Dropped Case
Perez's testimony asserted that Acting Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Loretta King and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Steve Rosenbaum made the call on their own, unbidden, and both were "career" officials. Both claims seem false.
The draft report notes, "At the time the decisions were made with regard to the litigation, however, both Ms. King and Mr. Rosenbaum were temporarily serving in political position…It has been argued that, under the Vacancies Reform Act, Ms. King and Mr. Rosenbaum were, in fact, political appointees."
But they are the veritable tip of the iceberg of political influence.

Five Kids Who Tried the Ice Bucket Challenge & Adorably Failed
News flash: The ice bucket challenge for ALS has reached the elementary schools.
Seriously, ALL the kids are doing it.
It's not all squeals of delight, though. Aside from the obvious schoolyard politics which dictate that your kid's popularity and self-worth be determined solely by how many times he or she is nominated, the challenge often doesn't go exactly according to plan. Read the rest of this entry →

Tech fest 'net activists offer free 'Super Wi-Fi': Now go tell the FCC
A campaign against the selling off of TV spectrum by the national regulator is offering free Wi-Fi, backhauled over newly-released TV spectrum, in the hope that those using it will sign a petition for greater availability. The free wireless is available at the South by Southwest Festival which kicked off in Austin, Texas, on …
" taking it back is hard"
It's pretty near impossible when it's something the public buys.
"But White Space allows regulators to hand over some spectrum for a bit and then take it back - within hours if opinion changes. Those lobbying against it are more concerned that the people will refuse to give it up rather than concerning themselves with any technical problem."
Indeed it *WILL* cause problems and the new gadget users will neither keep the rules nor give it back.
This is a disaster in the making.
Taking spectrum back...
...public resources should only ever have been sold off on a use it or lose it contract, with purchasers being obliged to resell spectrum unused after X years. If they can't sell it within Y years of that then it returns to the regulator automatically. Another option could have been a rental model - ongoing payments would certainly have focused profit making companies onto only paying for what they needed and sorted out unwanted spectrum returning to the regulator.
Still, 20/20 hindsight and all that.
The other kind of taking back
What happens when you buy one of these devices and then the whitespace becomes used up? Maps for urban areas show TV frequency usage is nearly complete. Is the device returnable, bricked and useless, or do people hack it to trample licensed frequencies?
I use a rooftop antenna for TV and I'll probably have to buy Internet from a point-to-point wireless service. Comcast and AT&T won't deliver decent service by wires but the regional geography works well for wireless. I worry about what happens when these devices get hacked to use spectrum that isn't available.

Nas & Mobb Deep Reunite On "Dog Sh*t", First First Collaboration In 11 Years
A storied rivalry in Hip Hop comes full circle without explanation as three of QB's finest hop on a track together, co-produced by mutual affiliate Alchemist.
This past weekend, Queens, New York duo Mobb Deep leaked "Dog Sh*t" , one of the first songs created since Prodigy's release from prison last month. The song, produced by longtime Mobb Deep affiliate Alchemist, along with Havoc, features another Queens icon, Nas.
"Dog Sh*t" is the first time the trio has worked together since 1999's "It's Mine," a Scarface-inspired single from Mobb Deep's platinum album, Murda Muzik. In the years since the collaboration, the parties had beef at points, notably in Nas' "Destroy & Rebuild" on 2001's Stillmatic and through interviews in the years that followed. When Mobb Deep signed with 50 Cent's G-Unit Records in the mid-'00s, the group expressed publicly that Nas had intentionally made a similar move to align with then-Jay-Z's Def Jam roster.
Prodigy, Havoc and Nas have not made statements about the reunion yet. HipHopDX will keep you updated.

- Men's AirBrake Gloves (Review by By Mr. Cool)
I have been using the Airbrake gloves for about a month now for daily trips to the crag. These gloves rock. The gel palm pockets provide the comfort I need for handling ropes of all sized (tested for 9.4 to 10.1mm ropes) and the kevlar stiching is pretty hardcore and makes the glove feel like it will last. After about a month of consistent use (4/days/week) they are holding up well and are my go to for belaying my partner at the crag. The airbrakes pretty much came broken in and the leather has not hardened due to dirt and sweat. I should also mention my hands have stayed prety warm in coldish conditions and cool in warm weather. If you are looking for a belay glove for all applications get the airbrake.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/19/13 -- Belvedere Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: BEL)("Belvedere") is pleased to announce results from the reconnaissance drilling campaign on their 10 km2 Antikanpera gold property. This phase of drilling was aimed at investigating the possible strike extents to the Pontio gold discovery, announced in September 2012, along the M2 geophysical trend. Twelve new holes were drilled along a 2.5 km strike for a total of 1167 m. The drilling was successful in intersecting mineralised diorite and plagioclase porphyry of similar style to the initial Pontio discovery in all but three of the drillholes.
-- 15.51 m @ 1.47 g/t Au extending Pontio mineralisation down dip in BelAnp017-- 20.01 m @ 1.07 g/t Au new zone mineralisation intersected 270m south of Pontio in BelAnp026-- 22.04 m @ 0.6 g/t Au in parallel (?) intrusive system 1.4 km south of Pontio in BelAnp023-- 84.03m @ 0.47 g/t Au 2.1 km south of Pontio in BelAnp024
David Pym CEO states "The drilling campaign has been successful in beginning to outline a large strikelength of gold mineralised intrusive over 2.5 km on the M2 geophysical trend. Considering the lack of outcrop, this phase of drilling has been remarkably successful, potentially indicating that a number of mineralised intrusives are present on the trend. The new mineralised zones in BelAnp023 and 024 open up considerable new exploration potential in the southern areas of the trend, with 023 being collared in mineralisation and 024 being mineralised along the entire length of the drillhole"

Table 1: Intersections using a 0.3 g/t Au cut-off. No top cut is applied. Maximum grade is 5.3 g/t Au over 0.71m. Intersections are estimated to be 70-90% of true width. The remaining holes failed to intersect any significant mineralisation.
The drilling shows some variability of gold mineralisation within the intrusive dykes/sills. Chalcopyrite remains the best indicator of the presence of gold. The overall strike and plunge of the Pontio mineralisation and the other intersections along the trend are still poorly constrained. For instance, exploration holes 150m to the north of Pontio, BelAnp 020 and 028 intersect similar intrusive units, but contain only minor mineralisation. It is uncertain at this stage if they intersected the same intrusive or one of the footwall intrusives to the west of the Pontio mineralisation, Indications to date are there are multiple mineralised intrusives, with BelAnp023 and 024 mineralisation being hosted in plagioclase porphyry gabbro diorites rather than the typical diorite dyke/sills of the Pontio mineralisation.

The Pittsburgh Penguins couldn't continue their winning streak, as they fell to the Detroit Red Wings Thursday night in overtime 5-4.
At first glance, it looked like the Penguins were dominating the Red Wings in the first period. But, in the end, they only had outshot the Wings 11-to-eight in the first. While the Penguins produced a lot of offensive zone time during the period, their chances were limited by the Red Wings, who were consistentlyclogging up the middle.
Pittsburgh was given an opportunity on the power play, but failed to capitalize. Surrendering shorthanded chances, Pittsburgh had a communication breakdown at the 7:21-mark. Young defensemen Robert Bortuzzo and Simon Despres allowed Detroit' forward Johan Franzen to drive the net, and gave time and space to seasoned veteran Daniel Alfredsson, who walked in and sniped it past Pens' goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.
That marked the only scoring in the first period, and the Penguins went to the locker room at the end of the first down 1-0, but out-hit Detroit 12-to-nine.
The second period is where the game began to take a bizarre turn of events.
Pens' defenseman Matt Niskanen was called for boarding – which was questionable – just seconds after a no-call on Detroit that nearly mirrored Niskanen's sin-bin. And the Red Wings made them pay. The Pens' gave up a rare goal to Detroit' forward Gustav Nyquist, who banked a wrister off of the a sprawling Rob Scuderi at the 4:35-mark.
Pens' forwards James Neal and Chris Kunitz sequentially took a pair of undisciplined penalties, giving total momentum to the Red Wings. Nonetheless, the Pens' penalty killers were up to the task, and eventually drew a penalty to set up their lethal mad-advantage unit. However, the Penguins continued their undisciplined ways by garnering another penalty.
At this point, the Pens' top players were not seeing much ice-time, but that would all change.
At the 15:17-mark of the second, Pittsburgh commenced a momentum change when Kunitz threw the puck at the net from the blue-line, and forward Lee Stempniak, amidst the dirty area, tipped it past Wings' netminder Jimmy Howard. Just 45-seconds later, Evgeni Malkin's line.
On a set face-off play taken by forward Jussi Jokinen, Malkin picked up the puck, cut back across the grain and fed James Neal, who was anticipating the pass. Neal failed to get a clean shot off and sent the puck bouncing around Howard like rubber ball in a cement room, to which Malkin swooped in and swatted a backhand shot off of Howard's pads and into the net.
Malkin wasn't done yet.
Detroit' forward Tomas Tatar took a holding penalty, and then forward Landon Ferraro shot the puck over the glass, putting Malkin and the Penguins on a two man-advantage power play. The Pens' worked the puck nicely with precision passing to set up Malkin on the point, who he buried it past a screened Howard with a heavy slap-shot. That tally sent the Pens down the tunnel with a one goal lead. They also, yet again, out-shot and out-hit the Red Wings 15-to-10 and nine-to-3, respectively.
In the third period, the bad breaks and odd plays/calls continued.
It started with Pittsburgh working on the power play via a hooking call. While on the powerplay, a Detroit player lost his stick, and his teammate pushed it up to him along the ice. Still unable to view his stick, unaware, it rested at his feet. Neal then pushed the stick out of his way, causing the referees' to call him for interference, making it four-on-four.
Almost half way through the period, the Red Wings began a quick transition out of their zone, and two Pens' defensemen – Rob Scuderi and Olli Maatta – collided with each other. Because Maatta was knocked down on the play, it sent Detroit in on a partial two-on-zero with Scuderi desperately diving to take away the cross-crease pass, however, Tatar potted it.
Then, at the 12:17-mark, Detroit took the lead once again when Todd Bertuzzi just threw the puck to the net and saw it ricochet off of Maatta and past Fleury. That marked the second goal of the night that had caromed off a Pens' blueliner and into the net. The Pens, desperate for a goal, continued to battle in order to tie the game up and at the 14:17-mark, the hard work paid off for forward Craig Adams.
Forwards Brian Gibbons and Brandon Sutter got the puck deep into the Red Wings' zone and won a couple of battles to gain puck possession. Sutter then quickly moved behind the net, and made a beautiful dish to a wide open Adams in front of the net, who buried his first goal in 65 games to tie it at four. A score from the fourth-line is rare – especially one from Adams.
More strange happenings transpired at the 16:14-mark when David Legwand took a five-minute major penalty for butt-ending Evgeni Malkin.
Malkin, who was working as a net front presence, got wrapped up with Legwand and inadvertently knocked his helmet off with his stick. Legwand, taking exception to that, as the play exited the zone, butt-ended Malkin in the abdomen region. However, the Penguins squandered a good portion of the five-minute power play, and the penalty carried into overtime.
Still on the power play, the Pens' continued to move the puck with confidence and took quality shots, but Howard and the Red Wings' penalty killers stood their ground, killing off the five-minute major. The Pens were still buzzing with momentum, and Malkin, with mass jump in his step, continued to create chances in overtime.
That was until the final seconds of overtime.
With everyone in the arena and watching at home thinking this may go to a shootout, it was not to be.
Evgeni Malkin, still doing everything he can to help his team, leaped into the air like a outfielder preventing snagging a home run ball back into play, and tried grab the clearing attempt. Missing the puck and getting taken out of the play, Maatta was faced with a three-on-one rush coming his way.
Doing everything he could to take away time and space, Scuderi was skating back hard to help out Maatta. And once he did, the man who began tonight's scoring, Alfredsson, ended the game with a wrist shot that bounced off Scuderi and into the net with 0.4-seconds left in the game.
Pittsburgh outshot Detroit 43-30 in the game, but came up just short. An absolute heartbreaker.
The Penguins came out looking like the team we all expected, and it was a matter of time until they cracked the defensive strategy of a depleted Red Wings' squad.
And they did.
Fleury was excellent tonight – as he has been all season – despite the score. Fleury continues to give Pittsburgh a chance by making the saves that he should, with handful of spectacular ones as well. However, power play, miscommunication in the defensive zone, poor positioning in the defensive zone, and the constant need to be on the penalty kill is not how a team of this caliber is supposed to be helping out their goalie.
Tonight was a prime example of what infuriates coaches. When players take what we call "selfish penalties," – as James Neal, Chris Kunitz, and Jussi Jokinen did – it puts the teams in a tight spot. Because those three committed awful penalties, they forced the team's shorthanded unit to see more action than they should, and, in turn, kept Sidney Crosby and Malkin off the ice. However, the talk about the penalties the Pens' take has never been a discussion because of how good the penalty-kill is.
Well now, the power play units have gone to sleep, and it's frustrating to see top-line skaters taking so many penalties. If Kunitz, Malkin, and Neal lowered their time in the box, even by a fraction, just imagine how much higher their point production would be by seeing more quality ice-time.
Out of the team's top-4 point getters – Crosby, Malkin, Kunitz, Neal – Crosby has run away with the lead.
Yes, he has played in more games than Malkin and Neal, but he has also taken less penalties. There is a fine line between playing tough and playing dumb. Kunitz and Neal cross that line far too often and it's beginning to bite the team in the behind.
Wake up guys, playoffs are right around the corner.
They'll have a chance to redeem themselves on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The game can be seen on the ROOT Network, and is set to start at 1 p.m.

From RC to the Full Release, and iTunes
Hi all,
Looking forward to the full release this week, but I have a small question. I am no iTunes expert (dang kids and their new fangled iPods), so I am not sure how this works. When I upgraded from Vista to RC, it was not an issue, everything just moved over. But now that I am going to be doing a clean install of the full release, I have two questions.
1. Will my whole file system be moved to windows.old directory just like the Vista re-installs used to do, so that I don't really have to back up a ton of files?
2. What will happen with all of the songs in iTunes. I know they are locked to a specific computer, right, so will those songs be shot, or is there something I need to do to move the library over from RC to full release of Win 7?
Thanks for any info.

Chris Getz is going to be the starting second baseman. Again.
Johnny Giavotella (along with Jarrod Dyson and Vin Mazarro) was optioned to Triple A Omaha. Cody Clark, Irving Falu, Tony Abreu and Zach Miner were shifted to minor league camp.
Giavotella's demotion is the standout move, as he was projected to be the everyday player at that position in 2012. After a strong 2011 in Omaha, he hit .247/.273/.376 in 187 plate appearances for the Royals. In 44 spring at bats, he was hitting .250/.276/.318. Coming off of hip surgery in the offseason may be causing problems, or it could just be a slow start. Whatever the case, Chris Getz and Yuniesky Betancourt will handle second base at the start of the season.
The reason cited by Ned Yost was Giavotella's defense. In doing so, he suggested the Chris Getz and Yuniesky Betancourt are better defensive options. I can't suggest that Giavotella is going to contend for a Gold Glove Award at any point, but Getz has been below average defensively over the span of his career, and has had negative defensive runs saved figures every season as a big leaguer according to the Fielding Bible*. Betancourt, at least at shortstop, is even worse both statistically and by reputation. Perhaps in a less demanding area like second base, he can handle it defensively (or at least better than at shortstop), but neither could be a significant upgrade defensively, especially considering that Getz won't hit (if more than 1000 major league plate appearances is any indication). Giavotella rated as losing one run defensively by John Dewan's calculations in 46 games.
*Getz looks better by Baseball-Reference's defensive measurements, coming in at +6 runs above average for his career, but the Fielding Bible metrics take into account the context of the game when the play is made and how fielding performance is relative to the average fielder. It doesn't seem to take into account plays that should have been made but weren't, instead factoring in only the plays made. In other words, if Getz can't make a play on a ball that a typical second baseman can get to, does it really help save a run?
Yost acknowledged that the 44 at bat sample by Giavotella isn't reliable, but believes he can hit. It's not clear how much more someone can improve their defense in the minor leagues, and an extra month or two isn't going to be enough time to make such a change in fundamental skills that Will Carry over.
If only spring stats were taken into account, yes, I can see how Getz and Betancourt would be favored. Getz has hit better in Surprise producing a line of .276/.313/.310 in 29 at bats. Betancourt put up a .233/.283/.395 line in 43 at bats but with a guaranteed contract and supposed position flexibility, it means Giavotella, with options, ends up out of the running.
I fully expect Getz to return to his typical levels of production, which means weak contact, not making it on base, and no power. He's changed his stance, sure, but how often do 28-year-old players (with no track record of exceptional production) make one adjustment and change who they are as a hitter? Not often, I'm afraid. Is his defensive strength so much greater that it justifies him hitting .254/.315/.307 while Giavotella ends up learning nothing about hitting big league pitching in Omaha? I think not. Giavotella's the best player for the position and he fits within the long-term framework of the organization. It's of no benefit to him or the Royals to have Giavotella in Omaha.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to take a quick second to introduce myself on the site. My name is Corey and I'll be helping to spread the word about Slickforce Girl. That means from this point on I'll be posting on the Facebook Fan Page, Tumblr, Twitter, and occasionally here.
A little bit about me: I went to school for film at Towson University in Maryland before I moved out to LA about ten years ago. The first job I landed out here was at SlickforceStudio as an assistant. Needless to say, I've known Nick for over ten years and I've seen SlickforceGirl grow from a tiny spark in Nick's eye to what it is today. I'm excited to be a part of the project and I can't wait to show you what we have in store for the future.
Now that we got all that out of the way, it's time to check out the first official art work of our sexy space adventurer, Vanessa Valentine.

text: Health Health accelerator gets $16M to find cures for rare diseases April 11, 2013 10:37 AM Christina Farr 0 Venture firm New Enterprise Associates hopes to find new cures for rare diseases with its latest investment. Today, the Silicon Valley firm led a $16 million round in Cydan, an accelerator program for ideas, research, and strategic partnerships that would find cures for rare diseases. Cydan specializes in accelerating the commercialization of so-called "orphan drugs" designed to treat these diseases. Today, there are nearly 7,000 recognized rare diseases affecting nearly 30 million Americans and an estimated 350 million people worldwide. The symptoms will often appear early in life; 75 percent of rare diseases affect children, many of whom do not live past the age of five. Mainstream medicine has not focused its energies on finding new therapies or diagnostics for thousands of rare diseases. For this reason, the Rare Genomics Institute (RGI) turned to crowdfunding for its research into rare genetic disorders. But Cydan's approach is taking inspiration from the tech industry, where med-tech accelerator programs are increasingly common. "Cydan is taking a new approach to drug development – one that takes advantage of recent scientific breakthroughs in rare diseases and is externally focused, highly collaborative, and capital efficient," said Cydan CEO Cristina Csimma. Cambridge Mass.-based Cydan is teaming up with academic centers, patient foundations, and biopharmaceutical companies to identify the most promising rare disease programs and conduct de-risking studies. Among them, the most viable programs will be spun out of the accelerator as startups. David Mott, a General Partner at NEA said in a statement that the leadership team is expected to "spin out several exciting rare disease companies" and develop innovative therapies to make a real difference in patients' lives. Pfizer Venture Investments and Alexandria Real Estate Equities also participated in the round.
