"Wolves in the Woods...call them "bluegrass" and you'll risk a black eye. Legend has it these roughnecks came from the boonies, the gutter, or some mix of the two. At least they sound that way, combining folksy sounds with a punk edge. They have coined the term "blackgrass" to illustrate their style. "

The General History of Astronomy: Volume 4, Astrophysics and Twentieth-Century Astronomy to 1950: Part Aby Owen Gingerich
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 08/02/1984
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Volume 4 of The General History of Astronomy, originally published in 1984, concerns the birth of modern astrophysics in the nineteenth century, the growth of astronomical institutions to around 1920, and the development of instrumentation. The volume commences in the 1850s, with the first astronomical applications of photography and spectral analysis. It closes in the 1950s, before the explosive growth made possible by new electronic devices and computers. In Part A, there are eleven chapters, written by an international panel of eighteen authors, on subjects such as observatories, large telescopes, astronomy in the southern hemisphere, and early radio astronomy. Intended for general readership, this book formed part of an in-depth synthesis of the development of astronomy from the earliest times.

Vernon, N.Y. -- Harness racing driver Chris Lems availed 5-4 favorite Titus Seelster ($4.50) a clear pocket trip off a fast pace in the featured $6,500 top-level Miracle Mile pacing event at Vernon Downs on Saturday (July 9) evening, making his winning move in the last eighth of a 1:49.4 mile. The 5-year-old Artistic Fella gelding was the only one able to keep up with the blistering pace set by Modern Gesture (Jimmy Whittemore), drafting intently off splits of :25.1, :53.4, and 1:22.2. Just upon cornering for home, Lems tipped Titus Seelster off the pegs, urging him to the fore in mid-stretch and edging away by 1-1/4 lengths in the end. Runner-up Modern Gesture was a farther 9-1/4 lengths clear of Fox Valley Cadet (John MacDonald), who passed a tiring A Fool for Mark (Dustin Ingraham) for third. Abreathofreshart (Dan Daley) was the tail-ender for the entire mile after breaking at race's outset. Jackie Rousse trains 16-time winner Titus Seelster for the Kellogg Racing Stables, LLC. John MacDonald padded his lead in the driver standings with yet another hat trick, giving him 10 over the last three cards. MacDonald teamed up with odds-on choices Ring Leda ($3.20, 1:53.3), Columbia Lion ($3.60, 1:57.2), and Aloneinspades ($3.70, 1:52.3). The 50¢ Pick 5 returned $550.50, buoyed by 8-1 winner JD's Brent N Sheree and 11-1 outsider Mr Wiskers both prevailing in the sequence. Live racing returns to Vernon Downs on Thursday (July 14) evening, with the first of 10 races due off at 6:45 p.m. Eastern. by James Witherite, Vernon Downs
Artful Way (Artistic Fella) won his fourth Open Pace of the year on Saturday night at Saratoga Casino Hotel. The Jackie Rousse-trained four year old not only set a lifetime mark but also paced the fastest mile of the year thus far at the Spa when he stopped the timer in 1:51. Frank Coppola Jr. pointed Artful Way out to the early lead in a sizzling 26.3 before yielding to rival JK Panache (Wally Hennessey) past the quarter. JK Panache flew through a half in 54.1 and three quarters 1:22.1 and still had something left in the stretch. Artful Way tracked him down in the final strides to record the mild upset at odds of 6-1. JK Panache held second while Caution Signs (Bruce Aldrich Jr) earned the show spot. Artful Way, who won ten times in 25 starts last year en route to over $100,000 in earnings, is on almost that exact pace again in 2016 as he never owns five wins and more than $50,000 in his first thirteen starts of the season. The winner returned $15.80 while the race's exacta and triple paid $60.50 and $380, respectively. Live racing takes place on Sunday and Monday afternoons with matinees beginning at 12:15pm. by Mike Sardella, for Saratoga Raceway
Artful Way (Artistic Fella) prevailed in the Open Pace for the third time in the last four weeks at Saratoga. The Jackie Rousse trainee got away last in the $15,000 harness racing six horse Open on a hot night in the Spa City. Frank Coppola Jr. got a cover trip for Artful Way as the four year old pacer followed the race's 4-5 betting favorite Panocchio (Gerry Mattison) who wound up first over after the first half was paced in 55.2 by Spinarama (Austin Siegelman). Artful Way fanned off his cover and reeled in Panocchio in the final strides before stopping the timer in 1:52.1, matching the fastest mile time of the year thus far this season at Saratoga. Panocchio wound up second best while Caution Signs (Bruce Aldrich Jr) earned the show spot. Artful Way paid $13.60 to win while pulling off the mild upset. The exacta returned $32.80 with the favorite finishing second and the race's triple came back $102. It was the fourth win in nine starts in 2016 for Artful Way who scored ten victories in 25 seasonal starts in '15. Live racing continues on Sunday afternoon at Saratoga with a matinee beginning at 12:15pm. Mike Sardella
Artful Way (Artistic Fella) scored in the Open Pace for the second time in the last three weeks on Saturday night at Saratoga. The Jackie Rousse-trained pacer faded on the front end in last Saturday's installment of the $15,000 Open as the favorite after being used hard throughout. This week, driver Frank Coppola Jr. elected to sit the pocket with Artful Way who tracked JK Panache (Wally Hennessey) throughout the 1 1/16 mile feature. Artful Way popped the pocket turning for home and cruised past the race's front running favorite before stopping the timer in a dazzling 1:58.2 for the elongated distance after covering the mile in 1:51.2. JK Panache was the runner up for the second consecutive week in the feature while Caution Signs (Bruce Aldrich Jr) earned the show spot. Artful Way paid $11.00 to win and led an exacta and triple that returned $40.20 and $349.50, respectively. The win was one of two on the card for conditioner Jackie Rousse and one of three on the night for veteran reinsman Frank Coppola Jr. Live racing continues on Sunday afternoon at Saratoga with a matinee beginning at 12:15pm. Mike Sardella
Last Saturday night, Artful Way (Artistic Fella) blasted out to the early lead in the $15,000 Open Pace at Saratoga Casino and Raceway. Though the harness racing four year old flashed incredible turn of foot early in the 1 1/16 mile feature last week, Artful Way tired late before fading to a sixth place finish. This week, the tune was much different for the Jackie Rousse-trained pacer. Frank Coppola Jr. once again powered Artful Way out early but eased him back before yielding to rival Spinarama (Austin Siegelman). Spinarama got a big time second quarter breather but was hounded by the race's favorite JK Panache who was first over. Dismissed at odds of 12-1, Spinarama turned back JK Panache but Artful Way got loose late and surged up the passing lane before hitting the wire first in 2:00 for the 1 1/16 mile. Spinarama held second while E Z Noah (Billy Dobson) earned the show spot. Artful Way returned $9.00 to win and led an exacta and triple that came back $80.00 and $375.50, respectively. Live racing continues on Sunday afternoon at Saratoga with a matinee beginning at 12:15pm. Mike Sardella
Forbes will host a Carnival Of Cups meeting on Sunday afternoon and Toby Vautin is hoping to take out the harness racing feature event. Vautin has two runners in the $12,240 Forbes Services Memorial Club Final and both were impressive winners in the heats. Vautin will drive Playful Fella (Artistic Fella) while Casey Williams will partner Early Decision (Dawn Ofa New Day) with both horses set to start off the front row. "It was great to see Playful Fella finally win a race this time in, he has been a little bit frustrating for me and funnily enough I only nominated him for the heats so Early Decision had a travelling companion," Vautin said. "Playful Fella won a number of races early in his career and I decided to give him a good long break after a run at Menangle in January last year. I thought he had the makings of a nice horse and the break might take him to the next level but he has come back and he is not the same horse." Playful Fella defeated Tuapeka Glory in a heat but Vautin has nominated the Wendy Turnbull trained runner as the hardest to beat. "I was able to beat Tuapeka Glory in the heat but it has drawn barrier one this Sunday so it is the logical horse to beat. I'll be trying to get the front early and if I can't I'll race up on the pace because that's where he likes to be. "I actually think Early Decision is the better of my two chances, I'm driving Playful Fella because he can be a bit of a handful to drive." Early Decision has been plagued by bad barrier draws recently and that trend continued this weekend with the gelding set to start from barrier six. "I think he has drawn inside gate five once in his last fourteen or fifteen starts, he is the most honest horse you could find. He tries hard every start you give him and he'll just need a little bit of luck in the early stages. "I will be instructing Casey to come out on him early and look to slot in somewhere. The owners wanted to give Casey a chance to drive him because she helps out around the stable when she can, it was definitely the right thing to do." Early Decision won his heat by more than ten metres and Vautin is confident the gelding can win more races if he can get some luck with the barrier draws. "His luck will come, hopefully he gets the luck on Sunday. If I was to run first and second this weekend I reckon it would make my day a great one." Forbes will run seven races on Sunday with the first timed to begin at 1:20pm. Greg Hayes
Titus Seelster (Artistic Fella) scored his first feature win of the season at Saratoga on Saturday night. The Jackie Rousse-trained pacer always utilizes his early speed and did so in the $12,000 Winners Over with harness racing driver Frank Coppola Jr. in the sulky. Dismissed at odds of 7-1, Titus Seelster wound up sitting the pocket to invader Outrageous Art (Artsplace) in the 1 1/16 mile Winners Over pace. Titus Seelster surged late and came on to win by a half length covering the 1 1/16 in 1:59.2. The race's favorite JK Panache (Bruce Aldrich Jr) toughed out a first over trip to finish second while Pappy's Pal (Jim Devaux) earned the show spot. Titus Seelster returned $17.80 to win and led an exacta and triple that paid $59 and $351.50. The win was the first of what would be four on the night for the tandem of Coppola and Rousse who teamed up for a Saturday night grand slam. Live racing continues on Sunday afternoon with a matinee beginning at 12:15pm. Mike Sardella
Legion of Boom lowered the boom with a 42/1 harness racing upset in the Ontario Boys Series final Saturday night at Woodbine Racetrack. A compact field of six competed in the $45,000 final of the three week series event for Ontario sired four-year-olds. Headlining the group of six was a pair of Richard Moreau trainees. Cajon Lightning entered the final off a victory in leg one and a third in leg two, while Rafa looked to turn the tables after finishing second in both preliminary legs. Legion Of Boom and driver Doug McNair left hard off the gate, but Rafa and Sylvain Filion also had the same strategy. McNair opted to drop in behind Rafa and take the two-hole trip. Rafa, who was 8/5, posted an opening-quarter of :27.1 and a half of :56. Outside challengers developed around the final turn with Mach Code first up and Cajon Lightning, the 4/5 favourite, second over. After reaching the three-quarter pole in 1:24, Rafa led the field into the stretch looking for the gate-to-wire victory. In the stretch, McNair came off the pylons with Legion Of Boom and the 42/1 longshot grinded away at Rafa. Cajon Lightning also came charging with late speed and Half A Billion was flying from the back to make it a four-across finish. Legion Of Boom hit the wire first in 1:53.1 to win by a head over Cajon Lightning. Half A Billion finished a neck back in third, while Rafa was defeated by just a half a length, but finished fourth. A four-year-old son of Artistic Fella, Legion Of Boom had just one win in six starts this season entering the Ontario Boys final. He finished sixth in both preliminary legs. Legion Of Boom is co-owned by driver Doug McNair, who shares ownership of the gelding with Equus Standardbreds Inc. Gregg McNair is the conditioner of the four-year-old. Saturday's victory was the sixth career win for Legion Of Boom and it increases his career earnings to over $92,000. The clocking of 1:53.1 also established a new career mark for the son of Artistic Fella. Legion Of Boom paid $86.20 to win. Legion Of Boom In order to be eligible to the Ontario Boys, the Ontario sired four-year-olds had to be non-winners of $60,000 lifetime as of October 31, 2015. Mark McKelvie
Dreamy Fella paced home for his fifth straight win Wednesday (January 27) in Northfield Park's 12th race. The four year-old stallion is owned by Tessa Roland of Lackawanna, New York and trained by John Perrin. Harness racing driver Aaron Merriman was aboard for the winning drive. Dreamy Fella started from post four and made every pole a winning one through fractional times of :28.1, :58.1, 1:28.2 and 1:58.2. He never experienced an anxious moment in the mile and was 1¼-lengths ahead of his competition at the wire. Wednesday's triumph was the tenth career start for Dreamy Fella (Artistic Fella-Cerulean Dream-Dream Away). He raced in New York and Canada and was beaten in all of his first five races. However, he has excelled under Perrin's tutelage and remains undefeated over the Flying Turns. Wednesday's triumph increased Dreamy Fella's lifetime earnings to $9,590. He was the overwhelming favorite and returned $2.40 to win. $2,829.90 Carryover Sparks $10,000 Guaranteed Pick-5 Total Pool Saturday at Northfield Park Northfield Park is announcing the addition of a $10,000 Pick-5 total pool guarantee to Saturday's (January 30) program.

Artful Way (Artistic Fella) prevailed in his first try in the local harness racing feature on Saturday night at Saratoga Casino and Raceway. The Jackie Rousse-trained three year old won the Open Pace while competing in it for the first time since coming to town in October. After moving aggressively to the early lead in 26.3, Artful Way kept rolling along on the front end, clicking off middle half fractions of 55 and 1:23.1 en route to victory in 1:51.4. Invader Dynamic Youth (Billy Dobson) was the race's favorite and moved first over on Artful Way but didn't make much of an impact before fading late to a fourth place finish. Longshot Duel In The Sun (Cambest) came charging hard in the stretch to be the runner up in the final $18,000 Open Pace for 2015 while Theseyesrcrying (Bruce Aldrich Jr) came on for third. Artful Way, who was driven to victory by Frank Coppola Jr, was dismissed at odds of 10-1 while second place finisher Duel In The Sun went off at odds of 31-1. The exacta with the longshots returned $387.50 while the triple came back $2016. Saturday night served as closing night for the '15 racing season with live racing set to resume in March of 2016. Mike Sardella
Harness racing trainer Jackie Rousse and driver Frank Coppola Jr. swept the co-features on Saturday night at Saratoga Casino and Raceway. Titus Seelster (Artistic Fella) went coast to coast in the $13,000 Winners Over pace while Artful Way (Artistic Fella) went start to finish in the $13,000 Winners of 5 but not more than 8 races lifetime pace on a comfortable December night in the Spa City. Titus Seelster pulled off a mild upset while going wire-to-wire in 1:52.4 at odds of 9-2 while Artful Way was the race's overwhelming favorite while backed to odds of 1-9. Both Rousse trainees are co-owned by Janie Martin and the Kellogg Racing Stables LLC. Rousse piled up three winners on the Saturday card as her Winter Blast also prevailed with Coppola in the sulky. With just one week of racing left in the 2015 season, it appears that Rousse and Coppola will both finish in second place in the trainer and driver standings, respectively. Live racing continues on Sunday afternoon with a matinee beginning at 12:15pm. Mike Sardella
DAYTON, OH. - Locally-based Artistic Fusion bested invaders Rev Me Up and American Girl to capture the $10,500 Mares Open pace at Hollywood Dayton Raceway on Friday night (November 6). The four-year-old daughter of Artistic Fella, trained and driven to victory by Kayne Kauffman, controlled the throttle throughout splits of :27, :56 and 1:24.1 before scurrying home in :28.4 to complete her 1:53 triumph. It was the eleventh seasonal victory for Artistic Fusion, owned by Mike Foote, and increased her 2015 bounty to $85,000 in 26 starts. Sent off at odds of over 5-1, the winner returned $13.40. Combined with runnerup Rev Me Up, who benefitted from a pocket ride throughout, the $2 exacta returned $55; while those that tacked American Girl, who got a second-over journey, onto the end of their $2 trifecta tickets were rewarded with a $395.20 return.

JULY 31, 2015 - Driver Randy Waples captured a pair of three-year-old pacing colt Grassroots events at Mohawk Racetrack on Friday evening with horses trained by one of his harness racing heroes. "Growing up in this business, he's the guy that everybody always wants to drive for, so when you find yourself lucky enough to be driving for him it's a rush every time," said Waples of Hall of Fame trainer Bob McIntosh. "I have my heroes in the business too, and being able to drive horses for a guy like that, it's a rush." Waples kicked off the Grassroots program with a win, steering Regal Sight to a 1:52.3 score from Post 6. The pair took control heading for the half and was never headed, sailing under the wire one and one-quarter lengths ahead of favourite Ace Of Clubs. The Fire Within was three lengths back in third. "He raced really well," said Waples. "He got a little hot behind the gate last week and made a break, but he was back to himself tonight." The win was the first this season for Regal Sight, who had posted one second and two thirds in the first three Grassroots events. Windsor, ON resident McIntosh and his partners C S X Stables of Liberty Center, OH and Al McIntosh Holdings Inc. of Leamington, ON bred and own the son of Stonebridge Regal and You See L A, who currently sits seventh in the division point race with 99. Regal Sight Waples and McIntosh recorded their second victory in the fourth Grassroots division, with the Milton, ON resident giving Artful Way a come-from-behind steer. Starting from Post 9, Waples eased Artful Way onto the rail in fifth and waited until the three-quarter marker to shift into the outer lane behind fan favourite Southwind Indy. Turning for home two and one-half lengths behind leader Feeling Cam Lucky, Waples shifted Artful Way into high gear and the gelding powered down the stretch to get a head in front of Feeling Cam Lucky and Southwind Indy in 1:51.3. "He's been drawing horrible lately. He's had a 10 and two nines his last three starts down here, so he hasn't really been able to get into the race. Tonight he had his nose right on the gate and when I looked over there looked like there was going to be a couple spots available, so it just really worked out good for him," said Waples of the Artistic Fella son. "Usually if you can get him in the middle somewhere he doesn't mind first over. He can grind away first over pretty good. He's win two or three times like that. "He can take a lot of air, he just seems not to get tired," added Waples. "He's got a big motor; a big motor and a big set of lungs." McIntosh bred and owns Artful Way, who was also a winner in the Grassroots season opener at Mohawk on June 2. In the other two Grassroots legs the gelding finished fifth and third, giving him a total of 117 points and sole ownership of fourth in the division standings with two regular season events remaining. Artful Way Bob Ben And John gave his connections a nice parting gift in the second Grassroots division. The Sportswriter gelding, who is entered in the Tattersalls Mixed Sale on Aug. 1, scored his first win of 2015 with a 1:53.3 front-end triumph over Windsong Lord and Halton Hurricane. Milton resident Steve Condren crafted the victory for trainer Casie Coleman of Cambridge, ON and owners West Wins Stable of Cambridge and Adriano Sorella of Milton. Following the race Sorella took to Twitter to say farewell to the gelding: "Thanks for the memories Bob. Best of luck in your new home." Friday's win boosted Bob Ben And John into eighth in the point race, making him a more attractive acquisition for a new owner hoping to participate in the Grassroots post season. Bob Ben And John Sporting The Look also jumped up the standings with his victory in the third division. Another son of Sportswriter, Sporting The Look powered out of the pocket and past pacesetter Twin B Scandal to claim his second straight Grassroots win in a personal best 1:51.2. Mach Code rounded out the top three. Moffat, ON resident Jody Jamieson engineered the victory for his father Carl Jamieson of Rockwood, ON and his partners 30 Plus Stable of Trenton, ON and Thomas Kyron of Toronto, ON. Two wins and one eighth in Grassroots competition give Sporting The Look 101 points, putting him in sixth. Sporting The Look The final Grassroots trophy of the evening was awarded to the connections of His Boy Elroy, who also used come-from-behind tactics to secure the victory. Campbellville, ON resident Mike Saftic urged His Boy Elroy down the stretch to a one-quarter length win over Sugarsam and Make Some Luck in a personal best 1:51.4. The Jeremes Jet son is trained by Jean Guy Belliveau for Dan MacRae of Baddeck, NS. Through three Grassroots starts the colt now has one win, one second and one eighth-place result for a total of 76 points. His Boy Elroy The three-year-old pacing colts and geldings will return to Mohawk Racetrack for the fifth Grassroots event of their season on August 21. Ontario Sires Stakes action returns to the Campbellville oval on Tuesday, August 4 with three $70,000 Gold Series divisions for the two-year-old trotting fillies. Ontario Horse Racing
What an exciting conveyance four year old Artistic Fella/Marilyn Macray gelding Macterra Lad is - chalking up his 8th harness racing victory in only 13 outings by taking the Dimension Homes Pace for C5 & C6 class over 1710 metres at Bray Raceway Ballarat on Tuesday. Bred by former Harness Breeders (Vic) Secretary Ian Kitchin, Macterra Lad trained at Bacchus Marsh by Alan Tubbs for Mount Gambier owner Michael McQuade and driven by daughter Amy Tubbs has developed into the ultimate racehorse after being so green in the early part of his career. Starting from the pole, Macterra Lad showed plenty of speed as the mobile gate sped away, leading easily and from there on, the race became a procession. Kicking clear halfway up the running, Macterra Lad scored virtually untouched by 3.5 metres over Crazy Dave (gate two) which trailed, with No Bettertime (four wide home turn from last) 1.5 metres away in third place. The mile rate 1-56.4 (last half 56.6 – quarter 27.7. Macterra Lad should have no difficulty in going through the grades and is Cup class material. Consistent five year old Blissful Hall/Childers Elite gelding Masterofthurles finally cracked it for a win when successful in the Creswick RSL Light Horse Troop Pace for C1 class over 1710 metres. Trained in the Western District at Childers Cove by Ange McDowall, Masterofthurles driven by Matty Craven settled three back in the moving line from gate two on the second line, with Ducale Bromac (gate four) leading. Moving forward three wide in the final circuit, Masterofthurles was inconvenienced on straightening when Royal Icing after coming off the back of the leader ran all over the place like a drunken sailor, however after regaining his composure, Masterofthurles out wide scored by a half head in a tricky finish from pole marker DoyouseewhatIsee along the markers from three back the inside. Khaleesi finish third from mid-field in the running line. The mile rate 1-56.1. Lightly raced, Masterofthurles registered his second victory in 23 race appearances and first since February last year at Stawell. The McDowall's are related to the all conquering Craven family. When Shelbourne (Bendigo) trainer Larry Eastman's team hit their straps they are worth following and Village Jolt/Sunrose Mary gelding Sunrose Village broke his maiden status at start number four when greeting the judge in the T J Coutts Electrical 3-Y-0 Pace over 2200 metres, much to the delight of Nyah owner/breeder Robert Dacey. Driven by Chris Alford, Sunrose Village led from gate three and was never out of second gear, coasting to the wire 3.1 metres in advance of Regal Ambition (three wide last lap from last) in a mile rate of 2-00.3. Chirpy Chuckles which followed the winner from the pole finished third. Huntly (Bendigo) trainer/driver Anthony Crossland's in-form Love You/Sun Goddess four year old gelding Dieu De Lamour snared the G & D Air Conditioning and Mechanical Trotters Mobile for T0 & T1 class over 2200 metres. Enjoying a sweet one/one passage after being crossed from the pole, Dieu De Lamour sprinted sharply to lead on the home turn, defying all challengers to gain the day by 1.3 metres from Alabamas Invasion (three back the markers) and Girls Go First (one/three) in a mile rate of 2-03.2.

Pompano Beach, FL...June 13, 2015...No Bad Dreams, given a picture perfect drive by Bruce Ranger, gave his harness racing competition a nightmare of sorts on Saturday night at Pompano Park, virtually wiring a classy field in the $9,500 Winner's Over Pace in 1:52.1. The four year-old son of Dream Away, trained by 81 year-old Marc Aubin for Dan and Jacalyn Boddie, earned his seventh win of the year in 11 starts, defeating Raji's Blue Line, handled by Ben McNeil, by a half length. Northern Companion and driver Tom Sells teamed up to be third while Who's Your Maddy finished fourth. G P S Legacy made a miscue early on and picked up the nickel in the quintet. No Bad Dreams, leaving from the advantageous five post, zipped out of the gate and joined Raji's Blue Line around the first turn with No Bad Dreams assuming the lead shortly thereafter and clocking an opening panel of :27.2. With positions remaining stagnant through the next quarter, Ranger was able to rate his charge through a :29.4 panel, reaching the half in :57.1. On the backside, Ranger chirped once to No Bad Dreams and he was off on a :27.4 tangent and then sealed the deal with a :27.1 finale. In a post race interview, Ranger said, "Last week, Ben's horse (Raji's Blue Line) cut some hellish fractions so I was hoping he wouldn't try that again and opt for a two hold trip. Once I got to the half in :57 and change, I felt very confident that No Bad Dreams could go all the way from there. He's a very nice horse...VERY nice!" In winning for the 10th time career-wise, No Bad Dreams pushed his lifetime earnings to $43,962--$29,310 this year in only 11 starts. As the 2 to 5 favorite, No Bad Dreams rewarded his many followers with a $2.80 mutuel. That win, incidentally, proved to be a "double" for trainer Aubin and the Boddie's, as their Abreathofreshart captured the opener on the Saturday card in a conditioned pace in 1:52, a new lifetime mark. This four year-old son of Artistic Fella also wired his foes, using a :27.4 finale to pin a defeat measuring 1 3/4 lengths on Histoire Eternelle, handled by Dan Harvey. Zavan was third for Andy Santeramo after applying some pressure on the leader around the final turn. As the 3 to 5 favorite, Abreathofreshart paid $3.40 to win. The track also hosted the Chris Valkanoff Memorial Pace, honoring one of the most respected owners at the track who passed away some months ago. Ranger also won that one, too, guiding Twenty Four Carrot Racing and Ciro Gentile's Freeneasy Hanover to his 25th lifetime win--2nd this year--in 1:51.2. The Jim Mc Donald trainee, a seven year-old son of Western Ideal, also was a gate to wire winner, clocking panels of :26.4, :55.1 and 1:23.1 along the way for the win measuring nearly four lengths. He, too, was the overwhelming favorite--1 to 5 on the board--and returned $2.60 to win. After the event, the vast number of friends and family gathered in the winner's circle celebrating Mr. Valkanoff's life. Racing continues Wednesday night at Pompano Park with post time set at 7:30 p.m. by John Berry for Pompano Park

Patented Dec. 21, 1948 CHAIR IRON FOR TILTABLE SEATS AND BACKS 'Henry W. Sheldrick, Gardner, Mass, assignor to Collier-Keyworth Company, Gardner, 'Mass., .a
corporation of Massachusetts Application May 25, 1945, Serial No. 595,684
2 Claims. 1
This invention relates to chairs or thetype em-v bodying a pivotally mounted seat and back such, for example, as ofiice chairs and the like.
The principal objects of the invention are to providean improved chair iron in which the seat and back are supported for simultaneous tipping movement controlled by rearward pressure exerted on the back by the occupant, rather than by the weight or pressure exerted bythe occupant on the seat, and to provide a chair iron which is of simple construction, having a minimum number of parts and which may be economically manufactured and readily assembled with a seat; back and pedestal.
Further objects relate to various features and construction and will be apparent from a consideration ofthe following description and the accompanying drawings, wherein- Fig. 1 is a side elevation of an office chair mbodying the present invention.
Fig-2 is a top plan view of the chair iron;
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 33 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic view showing the relative positions of the seat, back and associated members of the chair iron at different angular positions.
In accordance with the present invention I provide a chair comprising a base or the like supporting member which may be of conventional design and construction, separate seat and back members which may also be of conventional design and construction, and a chair iron carried by the base member and supporting both the seat and back for simultaneous tipping movement, the chair iron comprising a four-bar linkage system so designed that the occupant of the chair may control the tipping movement of the seat by exerting pressure on the back. To this end resilient means, such as a compression spring or the like, are provided to act on the linkage system so as to oppose tipping movement of the seat with a substantially greater component of force than the component operative to oppose In addition, I provide means whereby the angular position of the back may be adjusted relative to the seat, thereby securing the desired angular relationship between the seat and back which is more conducive to the comfort of the occupant.
' In the embodiment herein shown for the purpose of illustration a conventional pedestal or base is supported on casters 2 and a chair iron 3,- carried by the base, supports separate seat and back members 4 and 5. The seat and back,
2 members may be of conventionaldesign and con struction and, if desired, the seat may be provided with arm rests 6, it being understood that the back rest 5 is supported independently of the seat 4 and arm rests 6, as hereinafter described.
Thechair iron 3 comprises a fixed member consisting of a pair of spaced parallel angle irons l and H rigidly connected at their central portions by a U-shaped member |2 which is rigidly secured to the upper part of a post |4 threaded into and supported by a cap l disposed on the top of the pedestal. The fixed member is normally supported in a slightly inclined position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, by the U-shaped member l2 and a plate l6 (Fig. 3) is formed with an opening to receive the reduced end of the post M which is peened over the margin of the opening, as indicated at |8,to provide a strong and rigid connection between the chair iron and pivot.
Spaced parallel angle irons and 2|, collectively constituting a seat-supporting member, are pivotally connected adjacent to their front ends to the corresponding ends of the angle irons l0 and II, respectively, by rivets 22 or the like pivots, and adjacent to their rear ends, the seatsupporting members 20 and 2| are pivotally connected to depending links 24 and 25 by rivets 26. The upper ends of the links 24 and 25 project beyond th pivots 2B and are bent inwardly to provide stops 28 and 29 engageable with the upper wings of the fixed members l0 and H to limit downward tipping movement of the seat-supporting members 20, 2 I, relative to the fixed members In and II.
.The fixed members In and H are interconnected with links 24 and 25, respectively, through a back-supporting member. 30 which consists of a hollow, generally wedgeeshaped steel member having side walls 3| and 32 and a depressed bottomwall 3-3. The side walls 3| and 32 snugly fit between the vertical wings of the fixed members Ill and H, and are pivotally connected thereto at the upper corners by rivets 35. The lower ends of links 24 and 25 are inwardly ofiset, as shown in Fig. 2, and are pivotally connected to the central portion of side walls 3| and 32, respectively, by rivets 35. The tap-ering rear end portion of the member 39 (the parts of the side and bottom walls to the left of pivot 36 in Fig. 1) provides an extension 38 to which the back 5 is connected in the manner hereinafter described.
A transversely extending strap 40 having a depressed central portion M is, riveted or otherwhich maintains the spring properly centered to':

NFSA Provides Tips to Protect Fire Sprinkler Systems from Freezing
Proper maintenance is required to ensure that this life saving system performs when a fire strikes. With temperatures plummeting, it is critical to protect fire sprinkler system piping from freezing.
As Temperatures Plummet, NFSA Provides Tips to Protect Fire Sprinkler Systems from Freezing
As winter continues to batter the country, the National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA) reminds building owners that fire sprinkler systems are the only proactive form of fire protection, mitigating the risk to individuals affected by fire, including both occupants of the building and responding firefighters. Proper maintenance is required to ensure that this life saving system performs when a fire strikes. With temperatures plummeting, it is critical to protect fire sprinkler system piping from freezing.
Water leaks caused by freezing and bursting pipes can damage buildings and contents and interrupt your business. NFSA recommends an effective freeze-up prevention program that includes the following elements:
1. Conducting a physical inspection of the facility, looking for freeze-up hazards.
2. Inspection, and maintenance of the fire sprinkler system including:
- Identifying if the system contains water that is to be drained before the onset of cold weather (such as low points in dry pipe sprinkler systems).
- Determining if there are unheated areas in the building containing sprinkler system piping.
3. Any freeze prevention program should also include annual surveys of buildings and equipment to find insulation and heat tracing deficiencies and to check for unwanted outside air; look for vents and openings in windows, walls, roofs, or floors.
4. Low point drains (drum drips) on dry-pipe sprinkler systems should be emptied to remove water that may be present from condensation or accidental trips.
5. All buildings should provide adequate heat (40ºF) for dry-pipe valve rooms, pump rooms, and water tanks.
6. Building owners should appoint individuals to monitor weather reports. Establish guidelines to alert management and maintenance personnel and again, maintain indoor temperatures at a minimum of 40ºF.
7. It is important to provide adequate heating throughout areas susceptible to freezing, such as in stairwells, above dropped ceilings, and attic spaces.
8. Monitor boilers and other facility heat supply sources, using personnel and/or supervisory devices.

Tigger (Guest)
This issue has not been resolved, I do not have a Video Camera, and it is unsafe to try and take photos and drive. In the past, Public Works has visited sites requesting Stop Signs or Traffic Lights, and they say yes or no.
You have also sent a news Crew to sites to show how bad traffic is.
It's bad during Morning and evening Rush and when Kids are dropped off from School.
It is also bad throughout the day.
Tigger (Guest)
Sadly,. I do not own a Video Camera, nor a Digital Camera, and this is a dangerous Intersection.
This needs to go to Traffic and Parking or Public Works so they can come out and see for themselves how bad this intersection is and it does need a traffic light
Tigger (Guest)The only way e will get a traffic light here is after someone is killed, shouldn't a traffick light fo up to prevent a death instead after someone is killed?

Y'all. We're old now. If this blog were a human it would be in like 2nd grade. Actually, we probably would have been held back and about to go into 1st grade for the second time. Either way, we've been around for a while. During that time, we've gone through a few different phases. As we roll out a new logo and an updated website this week, we were reminded of the many logos we've taken on over the years. We thought it would be fun to take a look back at our past as we look forward to the future. Read on to see the many looks of We Denton Do It and a few that didn't make the cut.
We are in the midst of the dog days of Denton and as such it seems pertinent that our very own illustrator extraordinaire would take a liking to the observation of the many pups of Denton. During her time spent at the popular Wiggly Field, Anna Ryan has put together a field guide to Denton's most adorable companions by sketching what she refers to as some of the parks "regulars." Read on to check out some of Denton's most lovable sidekicks.
Denton has been a'buzz recently about foxes and bobcats or even coyotes seen scampering ever closer from the edges of the city limits, which has caused some concern for house pets. We've even playfully addressed "Mythical Beings in Denton" when footage of the long-fabled White Stag (sometimes called The Christmas Unicorn) was definitively captured on smartphones. This magical sighting has had several folks now asking us: What other legendary critters are maybe really lurking around out there in the Cross Timbers? I'll break down some of the top contenders and examine how much fact or fiction is involved.
Someone pressed "refresh" on We Denton Do It. We've got a sight redesign and a fancy new logo from Jude Landry that we've been working on since February. We'll have more on that later, but in the meantime let's jump into this week's content...
What We Did is our weekly roundup of a few of the best photos that have been tagged with #WDDI in the past week on Instagram. This week, we have 19 photos (plus a gallery of photos from a Sofar Sounds show) that give you a good idea of what has been going on in and around Denton recently.
If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next Monday. You can search that same hashtag to check out all of the other photos that we were unable to include this week.

We can't believe that we're almost to the end of July. Where did the summer go?! The school supplies have creeped into our favorite stores and are starting to take over. We're doing our best to savor the end of summer, to enjoy the long days and late nights, lazy mornings and all. Try out one more thing on your list for this summer before August gets here and the world goes back to school, regular schedules and the world of football takes over.
Pokémon Go is a recently released mobile game that augments your real life by adding cute little monsters to your phone camera. By now you've surely noticed the hoards of people gathering around the square at all hours excitedly swiping upwards on their phones. We are no strangers to the game ourselves. While I'm sure I have caught far more 'mon than Glen has, we've all been spending far too much time with the app. We recently found Denton's self-appointed "Geek Guru" and recruited him to aid us in our quest to catch them all. Last week, he shared some of the background on the game with us. Today, he has some tips that will help you in playing the game in Denton and how it relates to Niantic's previous mobile game, Ingress. Read on for more!
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
The aphorism gets thrown around so much that it is almost cliché, yet it rings particularly true when most of us are confronted with unpleasant aspects of our collective history. But as a long-neglected Denton County African-American cemetery seems to demonstrate, coming together to memorialize a difficult past can also make our present community all the stronger.
What We Did is our weekly roundup of a few of the best photos that have been tagged with #WDDI in the past week on Instagram.
Below are 18 photos from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX designed to showcase some of the various things happening in town. If you'd like to have your photo included in What We Did, make sure to tag your images with #WDDI when you post them on Instagram, and check back here next Monday. Search the hashtag #WDDI and check out all of the other awesome photos that we were unable to include this week.

It is officially Friday. You're hopefully enjoying the slightly cooled off weather from this morning's rain shower. That, or you're at work watching the clock. Whatever you're up to today, you probably need some Youtube time. Take a quick break, grab some caffeine, and watch the five videos we have for you below. This month's video post features our United Way video for Denton County, a Denton-centric Pokemon Go video from out favorite Overly Attached Girlfriend, local band Old Potion at a recent SoFar Sounds show, a music video from Denton-based Maker Table featuring Grady Spencer and the Work, and a video of a Denton Guyer band student getting into it at a performance. Check them all out below.
As the summer moves on, the businesses of Denton have continued to come up with great events to serve our community and keep us cool in the process. This weekend, we're encouraging you to join in with a few of our favorites that are joining forces to help raise funds for local non-profit supporter, Serve Denton, all while sampling some great smoked meats, craft beers, and local musicians. Read on to find out more about this weekend's event.

corporate sustainability
Just 10 years ago, many corporate executives wouldn't even say the words "climate change." Now, hundreds are taking action by setting internal prices on carbon, adopting science-based emissions targets and signing climate action pledges.
There has never been a better time to ask: what are you doing to price carbon?
Hundreds of companies are now pricing carbon, and hundreds more expect to in the next couple years. An internal price on carbon is emerging as a useful tool for integrating climate change considerations—specifically the value of reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHGs)—in business decisions.
A new ...
The strongest message corporations can send ahead of COP 21 is to set an emissions-reduction target in line with what science says is necessary to limit warming to 2°C.
Journalists, investors and more are increasingly asking companies: How are your trade associations influencing climate policy?

Gamers Unite and Rise UpI am sick and tired of all the lawsuits, protests, and condeming of video games. Video games have taken considerable hits, beeing said that they cause violence in kids, and that they are ruining americas youth, and what have we as gamers done, NOTHING! Its time for use to change that, we need to take a stand and protect video games from all who wish to do them harm (I am talking to you Jack Thompson). My brothers and sisters unite and rise up!!
