Tiger Woods yesterday confessed that he has not yet played 18 holes since surgery nine weeks ago, but insisted that he will be ready for tomorrow's first round of the US Open. It is never wise to doubt the world No 1, but all the talk here at Torrey Pines is that his chances of winning his 14th major have been dramatically reduced.
Woods, himself, was typically guarded about his injury, although did admit that his left knee was still "a little sore" after the operation he had two days after the Masters in April. And the fact that in the three days of practice so far he felt unable to walk more than nine holes inevitably only added further weight to theory that he is nothing like the hot favourite he would normally be at a course where he has enjoyed so much success. "Is my knee fully recovered? Probably not," said Tiger.
The sense of his fallibility was expressed most starkly in the odds about Woods collecting his third US Open title. A month ago he was as short as even money, but now he is out to 7-2, the longest he has been in a major since 2004. That price will still seem on the skinny side to many, as just three weeks ago Woods was worrying whether he would be able to appear here as the pain forced him to miss his scheduled warm-up event, The Memorial.
"I was not feeling good enough to know that I was 100 per cent sure to play all four days," said the 32-year-old. "I'm good to go now. Come game time I'll be ready."
So the question is no longer whether he will play, but how he will play. Woods believes his biggest test will be finding his rhythm quickly enough. "There's a little bit of not knowing what to expect," he said. "I haven't played competitively since the Masters. It'll be all about getting into the flow, dealing with the adrenalin, all these different things that the guys have been experiencing these past few months and I haven't. But I'm really excited about getting out there and feeling that again."
When told that certain experts have been saying that he cannot possibly do it, Woods replied: "Yeah, I've heard that before." Nobody in sport has ever had to conquer the odds like this man, although he does acknowledge the lay-off was difficult. He has had to fight his natural instinct to be active as he has followed a gradual recovery programme. Yet, aptly enough for this sporting one-off, some of his recuperation methods were unorthodox.
When a baby screams out in the night, the father is wont to roll over and let the mother restore peace. Not Tiger. Where other men could see only a sleepless night ahead, Woods sees an opportunity to work out. "When Sam wakes up at 2am I get on the leg-press machine and put her on my lap," he said. "Six hundred repetitions later, she's out." His rivals know how the one-year-old feels. This week could just be a rare break.

Tools for the Direct Synthesis of Aperture Distributions and Arrays
M.Bercigli, M.Bandinelli, J.L.Araque, G.Vecchi, F.M.Sabbadini
Abstract: Aperture distribution and array synthesis methods have received a vast attention in the literature. Despite this, little is available for the direct synthesis with constrains, e.g. on the maximum allowable amplitude variation across the aperture as integrated into a tool that also allows an effective virtual prototyping. A dedicated research effort within the EAML activity has lead to the availability of a synthesis tool dedicated to this specific problem. In combination with the available full-wave optimisation capabilities and sensitivity analysis features it offers a very effective mean for array design. Both power and field synthesis can be performed, on 1D and 2D performance masks, with a variety of constraints on the aperture. The synthesis tool is seamlessly integrated into virtual prototyping based on full-wave solutions, and into an array-setup interface for the user.

First ride on the new horse
Was successfully completed by a 3-year old. I was a little nervous about this horse because I sort of bought her on impulse (after seeing 10 videos) and sight unseen. But, she rides like a champ even though she is only 4 years old. Didn't act up once! Granted, she may be different out on the trails but she did good for us in the pasture today:)

You put a child on a young horse that you know nothing about? Good thing that went well!

Definitely adorable!!
If you guys think this is bad, you don't wanna know half my stories LoL :D
I gotta say that I agree with the person who questioned the good sense of putting a child on a horse that you know so little about , and who is so green. I think you will find a lot of folks agree with me, so don't be surprised about that sentiment. However, I am very glad it went well and that the horse has so much promise, so young. you lucked out!
At least put a helmet on the child. It's your choice whether you want to protect your head but don't jeopardize a child's safety on an unfamiliar horse just for pictures.
Definitely congrats to you for breaking the young horse and a successful first ride.
With that said, I dont think I would have put a young child on him without a helmet until the horse had proven many times over that he was level headed.
Hope you don't get overconfident.....horses have a way of being very humbling when it comes to that, and with a little kid with no helmet....hmmm. I won't even let anyone in the barn without proper footwear, no less on the horse. And you in the saddle really makes no difference, IMO. Not the best judgement, but that explains why you thought the price was too high on another thread-you don't live there.

These days, there are different assignments that students need to complete, and article reviews are among them. Writing them is all about evaluating or summarizing specific articles, as their name suggests. Most professors ask their students to complete this academic task to introduce them to the works of real experts in specific fields. To complete this kind of assignment successfully, you need to get a better understanding of the main arguments and points to provide the targeted audience with the most accurate summation. There are other important steps involved in crafting excellent article reviews, including logically evaluating the main theme, implications for future research, supporting evidence, and so on. If you find it hard to complete this task, the good news is that there are many effective guidelines that will help you get started.
How to Get Ready for Further Steps
First, you need to have a clear idea of what article reviews are all about. They are often written for targeted readers who are aware of a specific subject. When crafting this academic paper, you need to complete such basic tasks as summing up major ideas, positions, arguments, and findings to critique important contributions and overall effectiveness. Don't forget that such reviews need to represent more than only one opinion, and this means that you need to engage with your text to be able to create a valid response to the ideas of authors.
Be sure to respond to theories, ideas, and research from your point of you to achieve your academic success with article reviews. This assignment should be based on solid evidence and your personal thoughtful reasoning. Keep in mind that these papers respond only to the research of authors so that they don't offer any new research. Your basic goal is to write a quality review that both evaluates and summarizing the chosen article.
Pay attention to the right organization even before getting started so that you should understand how to set up your article reviews properly. This simple step will help you get a clearer idea of how to read a given article and write the most effective paper about it. Basically, there are certain parts that should be included, such as summarizing. This is when you need to concentrate on the most important claims, points, and information given in this article. Don't forget to discuss all the positive aspects and think about good points or valuable observations. It's also necessary to determine existing gaps, contradictions, and other inconsistences that you find in the text. Another basic step that should be taken is defining if you have enough data to support claims in article reviews.
Review a given article to focus on its title, introduction, abstract, paragraphs, and other crucial parts involved. This is how you will identify the main points and major arguments offered by authors. You also need to read this article in full to get a big picture and take notes of relevant questions, interesting points, etc. Take into account the concepts or terms that you're not familiar with to understand how to write efficient article reviews.
You should read articles closely and use a pen to highlight the most important or interesting sections, including supporting facts and major points. It's advisable to supplement them with your cross-references and notes. Try to connect the main content with your knowledge of the chosen topic and think about relevant things. This is what can help you decide whether your article reviews are similar or different to other academic works written by students. Besides, you need to focus on the meaning of a given article and realize that the only existing way to come up with a great academic paper is to understand it.
You should put this article into your words and this goal is easy to achieve when free-writing and creating an outline. This is where you need to focus on detailed research, arguments, claims, and other aspects while staying accurate. Remember that spending too much time of paraphrasing and editing is a poor idea. To test your understanding of article reviews, ensure that you write them in a logical and clear structure.
Make a detailed outline and include all the key points presented in the article in addition to its supporting arguments and claims. This step is all about restating them so that you shouldn't include your personal opinion. Once you succeed to put everything into your works, you need to determine the parts that will be discussed in your article reviews. It's possible to focus more on the main content, theoretical approaches, evidence, styles, and so on. However, your basic purpose is to discuss the key matters of the chosen article. When your outline is ready, it's necessary to review it to get rid of unwanted items, so erase unimportant ideas or arguments.
Writing your outline may not be as simple as it seems because you need to review all aspects to decide whether article authors are clear and accurate enough. To achieve this goal, write down all the examples of their efficient writing, innovative contributions, and other similar ideas to come up with excellent article reviews. You also need to make a list of both strong and weak sides. When it comes to existing strengths, they may include clear summaries, while weaknesses are failing to offer effective solutions and not offering sufficient data.
When writing your article reviews, it's required to use valid references and strong examples to impress the targeted audience and get higher grades. For instance, a given article may not include correct facts and sections. Be sure to jot down all relevant observations in your outline and search for solid facts to confirm them. There are certain questions that should be asked to understand how to craft quality article reviews. What is the main purpose of your chosen article? Are all of its major concepts clearly established? Does it include theoretical assumptions? What about strong evidence? Does this article advance the existing knowledge of a specific subject? Does it fit into the field? How clear is its writing style? To come up with impressive and interesting article reviews, you shouldn't include any personal reactions or superficial opinions, but it's worth paying attention to your biases to show that you know how to overcome them successfully.
The Basics of Writing the Best Article Review
Your basic step is coming up with a catchy and interesting title that reflects the main focus of your academic paper. It's only up to you to decide on something declarative, interrogative, and descriptive. A given article must be carefully cited in the right style, and there are different formats to choose from, but they all come with their unique requirements and rules that can't be neglected when crafting your article reviews. If you're not familiar with APA, MLA, and other formatting styles, using the quality services of freelance authors is a brilliant idea.
You need to identify your article, and this means that a review must start with a referring to its basic data, such as its author and title. Another key step is writing a concise and clear introduction, as this is what should make people want to keep reading article reviews. Ensure that this paper section includes central themes, major arguments, and claims. Don't forget to state a strong thesis in the end while providing readers with your overall impression in a formal manner. Remember that your thesis statement should address all the above-mentioned issues.
It's required to sum up a given article, and this process involves expressing its arguments, points, findings, etc. As a student, you need to show how it supports all of its claims and include valid conclusions. This part of efficient article reviews may consist of a few paragraphs, but everything depends on the word count established by your professors. You shouldn't cover any background information in this section, but capturing basic points is a good decision. Feel free to include direct quotes and review a summary to ensure that your words are concise and accurate enough.
Write your article reviews by using a detailed outline, and this means that you need to craft a few strong and interesting paragraphs to explain to the audience how authors address chosen topics. In addition, express your personal opinion about clarity, usefulness, and other important characteristics because it's the core step when completing this academic assignment. That's why you shouldn't overlook it if you don't want to end up with low grades.

The story inside has quotes from "insiders" and "sources" who report that President Clinton is looking "gaunt and old, almost like he is wasting away," and the mag claims he is "turning his lifestyle upside down trying to keep the Angel Of Death at bay." There's an insinuation that Chelsea Clinton had a miscarriage — "the ex-Prez was thrilled when Chelsea was showing a baby bump in April, But his 32-year-old daughter […] is currently NOT with child." The copy reads that he is "believed to be battling Parkinson's disease" and also alleges that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told her husband than when she quits the Obama administration, she will start a fresh life, living with a female companion.

Jacques Barzun: A Legacy of PassionHistorians/History
Jacques Barzun in an undated photograph. Credit: Columbia University.
History has lost yet another of its most extraordinary and distinguished scholars, with the death on October 25 of cultural historian Jacques Barzun, at the age of 104. Insatiably curious, energetic and open-minded, Barzun's interests ranged from subjects as high-brow as classical music and Romantic philosophy, to those as common as mystery novels and baseball. French-born but thoroughly Americanized (he obtained citizenship in 1933), he paired Old World refinement with New World sincerity and wrote more than forty books over the course of seven decades.
Born outside Paris in 1907, Barzun spent his childhood surrounded by artists, poets, writers and composers. His father was a diplomat and literary scholar with connections to the modernist art circles, and encouraged young Barzun to converse with their famous house guests and read freely from his large library. Barzun got his first taste of teaching at the age of nine, when World War I created a shortage of schoolteachers and the older boys were tasked with instructing their younger classmates. The following year, his father was dispatched to the United States on a diplomatic mission, and was so impressed by what he saw that he later sent twelve-year-old Barzun to receive an American education.
Barzun's roving curiosity and gift for scholarship served him well, and he was admitted to Columbia University at age fifteen. Initially he planned to study law, but quickly found himself attracted to history instead. Even then, however, he felt no need to restrict his energies to one subject, and in his spare time he wrote the book and lyrics for a campus variety show, became a drama critic for the newspaper, and started a tutoring service -- all while also a member of several academic clubs.
Despite his busy schedule, Barzun graduated valedictorian in four years, and remained at Columbia for his master's and PhD studies. He received his doctorate in 1932, and by then he had already been teaching as a history instructor at the university for several years. During that time he had become fascinated by cultural history in particular, an interest that grew while he assisted Carlton J.H. Hayes in revising Hayes' two-volume textbook, A Political and Social History of Europe. This, Barzun later said, was the experience that "launched" his career.
Following his work with Hayes, Barzun received a fellowship that allowed him to conduct research on his first book, Race: A Study in Modern Superstition, published in 1937. It was written as a reaction to the pseudo-scientific ideas of racial superiority being put to use in Nazi Germany, and was followed two years later by Of Human Freedom, a defense of democratic ideology and attack on absolutism.
He continued this line of thought in his 1941 book Darwin, Marx, Wagner: Critique of a Heritage, in which he blamed these three figures for the "mechanical scientism" which he believed had led to fascism and communism. Their particular brand of the scientific worldview, he contended, had extended its harmful influence into nearly every sphere. While he was no detractor of science itself -- in fact, he praised it as "one of the most stupendous and unexpected triumphs of the human mind" -- he was critical of the way it was increasingly presented as being, in and of itself, the answer to everything. As a result, he later wrote, it was "at once a mode of thought, a source of strong emotion and faith as fanatical as any in history."
This argument is unpopular now, but it came from his belief that no single subject could contain all there was to life. This belief had led him to choose cultural history as his primary focus, but it was also what led him to explore the myriad other interests which had been instilled in him as a child.
At Columbia, where he remained until his retirement in 1975, he taught nineteenth- and twentieth-century history, but his publications were eclectic, ranging from subjects like music (Berlioz was his favorite composer), rhetoric and literary criticism, and educational philosophy. He even wrote an essay "On Baseball" in 1954, in which he made a statement that now adorns the Baseball Hall of Fame: "Whoever wants to know the mind and heart of America had better learn baseball."
Barzun tackled these and other topics over a long career, and -- always an independent thinker -- came to his own conclusions on each. As one writer put it, Barzun was "no respecter of persons, traditions or the most generally accepted platitudes." Whether attacking or defending his subject, however, he was an unfailing mixture of geniality, civility, and intellectual honesty, at once scholarly and down-to-earth, and this won him a legion of friends and admirers.
That is not to say he did not have strong opinions. Barzun was passionate about what he saw as the worsening state of the American university. He argued that it should not be a place of specialized career-training, but a "city of the mind," devoted simply to learning. He also detested the increasing politicization of the university, and was adamant that moralizing and political propaganda had no place there -- that professors and staff had a responsibility to do nothing more than to train students to think effectively, and allow them to form their own opinions.
Barzun's works on educational philosophy are now among his most well-known, but at heart he remained first and foremost a historian of culture. He wrote prolifically on the subject, and enjoyed a wide lay readership, rare among historians. This was a source of great satisfaction to him, as he was a firm believer that the first duty of a scholar -- and most especially a historian -- was not to write for other scholars, but for the common reader.
As it happened, Barzun had a remarkable gift for storytelling which made even his more academic publications accessible to all. He was of the opinion that works of history should include "the range and wildness of individuality, the pivotal force of trifles, the manifestations of greatness, the failure of unquestioned talent." His own works certainly did, and this combined with his undisputed intellectual prowess gained him recognition from an impressive variety of sources.
But scholarly writing was only one outlet for his energy and interests. Others included the Readers' Subscription Book Club, which he founded in 1951 along with W.H. Auden and Lionel Trilling in order to make academic works more widely available. At the same time, he also helped found the discipline of cultural history at Columbia, ran the university's famous Great Books course along with Trilling, and from 1955 until his retirement served in several prestigious roles at the university.
Even afterwards, he continued to write. At the age of 93, he published From Dawn to Decadence, an 877-page masterpiece that traced Western civilization from 1500 to the present, examining its rises and falls. At the end he predicted that another fall was soon to come, caused by an internal conflict within the West itself and sown from the seeds of nihilism, rebellion, and a culture of entitlement.
But, he added, after this fall the West would eventually be revived. "It is only in the shadows," he wrote, "when some fresh wave, truly original, truly creative, breaks upon the shore." Chaos often heralded a brighter time, he believed -- but then again, he was quick to admit, he had always been a "cheerful pessimist."
Looking back at his long life, it seems as though he had more reasons to be cheerful than pessimistic: lifelong scholar, distinguished professor, baseball fan and music aficionado, his legacy will be remembered fondly by many. He has an impressive list of awards to his name, including his appointment as a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor, his award of the American Medal of Freedom, and a wide array of scholarly recognitions, most notable amongst them the Jacques Barzun Prize in Cultural History, awarded each year since 1993 by the American Philosophical Society.
Jacques Barzun was a Romantic in the tradition of Berlioz and Wordsworth, a friend to poets, artists and scholars alike, and he spent the better part of 104 years doing what he loved. He was dedicated to the idea that "life, which spurs desire and fills the mind, is wider than science or art or philosophy or all together," and his tireless passion, curiosity and hard work allowed him to experience it to the fullest. It is hard to imagine a better legacy than that.

Alessia Cara Performs on 'Saturday Night Live': Watch
Watch Alessia Cara perform on 'SNL' on February 4.
Watch Alessia Cara perform on 'SNL' on February 4.
In this skit, Alec Baldwin's incompetent Donald Trump just can't kick his insane Twitter habit—and ironically, the real Trump responds with a tweet.
We're still not entirely certain how SNL will fare with controversial (if revered) comedian Dave Chappelle hosting the first post-election episode, but at least the end of November looks a bit more familiar. Kristen Wiig will make her second return to SNL, hosting the final installment of this long, gloomy month.
Drake made his return to Saturday Night Live as both the show's host and musical guest.
Ariana Grande debuted "Be Alright" and showcased her serious impression skills during the March 12 episode of 'Saturday Night Live.'
SNL has had a steady 2016 with hosts like Adam Driver, Larry David and Melissa McCarthy, but is March looking a little ho-hum? Following Jonah Hill and Future on March 5, SNL confirms that actor/singer Ariana Grande will pull double duty as both host and musical guest for the following week.
The moment former Alaskan governor and 2008 Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin endorsed Donald Trump for President of the United States, you know the producers at SNL hurried to get Tina Fey on the phone. The beloved former cast member, who just hosted the show last month, famously took on the role of Palin eight years ago and many people believe that her scathing imitation actually did lasting harm to the real Palin's political chances. In any case, this event allowed SNL to pair Fey's Palin with Darrell Hammond's Trump. Thanks, reality!
With Star Wars: The Force Awakens star Adam Driver hosting 2016's first episode of SNL, a Kylo Ren sketch of some kind was inevitable. After all, you don't get the actor who plays the villain in one of the biggest movies of all time to appear on your comedy variety show and not have him reprise that character. And we'll give the show this much: we never would have predicted a faux episode of Undercover Boss set on Starkiller Base, with the angry, murderous Kylo Ren going undercover amongst his troops as a radar technician named Matt.
After taking a bit of a break from acting to make his directorial debut (and to have what I presume is a very adorable baby with Eva Mendes), Ryan Gosling is back. In addition to starring in upcoming films from Adam McKay and Shane Black, the actor is cementing his return with his SNL debut. Gosling can't keep a straight face through most of the episode, which delivers some really weird and delightful sketches with few disappointments. Read on for our ranking of this week's SNL sketches from best to worst.
Donald Trump will host Saturday Night Live on November 7, NBC has announced. If you loathe the reality star-turned-presidential candidate but have a weakness for expertly-crafted pop, you should also know that Sia is the musical guest...
Amy Schumer has had an incredible couple of years with her hit series Inside Amy Schumer, her collaboration with Judd Apatow for Trainwreck, and her upcoming HBO comedy special. When you're this beloved, there's one place you need to be: on the SNL stage. Schumer makes her SNL hosting debut tonight and absolutely kills it, delivering a complete 180 from whatever happened with last week's relentlessly humorless season premiere (can we just pretend this was the season premiere? OK). There's so much to love in this consistently funny episode, where even the weakest sketch of the night is still quite delightful. Read on for this week's sketches, ranked from best to worst.
Live from New York... it's Miley Cyrus, hosting and performing for the season premiere of 'Saturday Night Live'!

It will likely be weeks before it is known for certain how the phone-hacking whistleblower Sean Hoare died, police said yesterday evening.
The former showbiz reporter at the News of the World, who was the first journalist there to claim that Andy Coulson had knowledge of phone hacking, was found dead on Monday at his home in Watford, Hertfordshire, after friends raised concerns over his whereabouts.
His death came after a series of explosive newspaper interviews in which he exposed the "dark arts" employed by journalists at the tabloid.
It is understood that no suicide note was found. He was known to be battling an addiction to alcohol.
Hertfordshire police said that there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding Mr Hoare's death, but were awaiting the results of toxicology report to determine exactly how he died. Such examinations can often take up to three weeks.
A police spokesman said: "There is no evidence of third-party involvement and the death is non-suspicious. Further toxicology results are now awaited and there is an ongoing examination of health problems identified at the post-mortem."
Although Mr Hoare was known to be struggling with health problems, friends said he had become increasingly "paranoid" that "people were coming for him" in the days leading to his death.
In one of the most sensational interviews, with The New York Times last year, he claimed that his former friend and editor, Mr Coulson, had actively encouraged him to hack into voicemails while he was working at NOTW.
On the night after his death, he also appeared in a BBC documentary and a daily broadsheet in which he sought to "set the record straight" over the improper news-gathering techniques that were allegedly encouraged by senior staff at the paper.
Asked if Mr Hoare had ever mentioned the recent voicemail-hacking scandal, a neighbour said: "He did say something about phone hacking. He did mention he was paranoid and that there was a conspiracy."
The neighbour said Mr Hoare had recently suffered a fall and had started to look jaundiced. Mr Hoare lived in a first-floor corner flat with his wife, Jo, whose car was in the car park of the four-storey block.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's PM programme, Mr Hoare said phone hacking was "endemic" in the newspaper industry. Mr Hoare, who worked on The Sun before being recruited by Mr Coulson to work on NOTW, said: "He was well aware that the practice exists. To deny it is a lie, simply a lie." Mr Coulson denies the allegations.
Later, Mr Hoare was interviewed by police over the allegations he had made but would offer no comment, Keir Starmer, director of Public Prosecutions, said in December.

The itinerants, it is said, have had no time for the Gauls ever since Freddie Head's erratic passage on Lyphard sent them scurrying back into the caravans.
The Parisian boys have heard these stories of disparagement and they don't like it. The noisiest chamber on France's racecourses on Saturday was therefore the jockeys' room at Maisons-Laffitte, where the inhabitants were cheering on their man at Epsom, Olivier Peslier, aboard High-Rise.
Peslier may have ridden a finish of some intensity on the Downs on Saturday but it was nothing to compare with Olivier Doleuze's in Paris. His flourish culminated in his whip snapping on the changing-room table.
Epsom, it must be said, takes some getting to know. This was the first time that Peslier had won over the course and his first ride for Luca Cumani. The 27-year-old accepts the intricacies of the switchback, but does not concede he overcame a nationalistic weakness to win on Saturday.
"Yes, the Frenchmen do not win the Derby," he said yesterday. "That is because not many of them like to go to England for the race."
Yves Saint-Martin on Relko in 1963 was the last, but even the old maestro cannot have bettered Peslier's offering on Saturday. High-Rise's rider showed us first patience, then dexterity and finally power, all of it achieved with high-wire balance. "Epsom is a special track, even more special than all the other special tracks in England," the jockey said. "It is difficult. At Tattenham Corner and five furlongs from the goal you get big problems because all the horses go at once.
"If you go too slow your horse gets left behind, but if you go too quick he loses his action. I decided to wait a little bit and then, after the turn, he went very fast."
Once he got to the front, High-Rise was affected by Epsom's cambers and leant first one way and then the other. His driver corrected the path immediately, switching his whip twice in seamless movements. If Peslier ever fancies another job at the racecourse he has the fast hands to join the find-the-lady crew.
The climax featured a machine-gun finish with the whip. When Lester Piggott did this on Roberto and The Minstrel it was considered an equestrian masterclass. Peslier's reprise earned him a two-day suspension. "He was banned for not allowing the horse to respond between hits," Patrick Hibbert-Foy, the senior stewards' secretary, said. "It was the pace that he was using his whip in the closing stages that led to the ban being imposed."
If High-Rise was not responding every time he was stroked then he was doing a very passable impression. Peslier said the colt ran for him and would not have won had he not used the whip, but then what does he know compared to the riding alumni of the stewards' room.
High-Rise's victory was pleasing evidence that the sport at the top level has not concentrated entirely to Ballydoyle versus Godolphin. Luca Cumani is too good a trainer to keep down permanently and he will now attempt to add to High-Rise's stock in the Irish Derby.
At the same time he may help the stud career of an 11-year-old horse currently residing at Milton Bradley's yard near Chepstow. Sooty Tern is a familiar name to betting-shop habitues, a veteran of 124 races, none of them at a particularly distinguished level. However, his eight year younger half-brother did win the Derby on Saturday, which is a fact the old boy may now be bragging about to his mates in the breeding shed during the next covering season.
The greatest disappointment of Saturday was the performance of Cape Verdi. It was possible to feel sorry for the filly in the preliminaries as her small and timid figure was surrounded by gleaming, chunky colts. There were no little courtesies on the racetrack either. Cape Verdi crashed around like a drunk down a corridor as her fellow travellers gave her the roughest of rides. Frankie Dettori knew the game was up from some way out.
"From five furlongs out I knew I wouldn't win," the Italian said. "I had to ride to keep my position because things were getting a little bit tight. When you are tight and getting bumped around like I was it's usually because you're not going so well. When you've got plenty of horse you can get yourself a bit of room.
"A combination of not handling the track and the distance meant I was never going to win. She wouldn't have won the Oaks on what she did today, but I still think she's better than Bahr [the Oaks runner-up]."
Godolphin still believe Cape Verdi so talented that she is worth another chance against the beastly males who treated her so badly on Saturday. She emerged from her box sound yesterday morning and the next assignment could be the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown on 4 July.
Cape Verdi will not be running in the Irish Derby, and Frankie probably hopes that Godolphin don't run Saturday's runner-up, City Honours, either, as that would give him the opportunity to get on High-Rise.
Olivier Peslier is still likely to keep the ride however and another good afternoon, at the Curragh, is promised. Before then he has a spare day, the last day of Royal Ascot, as part of his suspension. The jockey's plan is to go to the beach with his wife, Marie, and daughter Megane for a barbecue. This time a French rider will be roasting rather than being roasted.
The finishing order and jockeys' verdicts
Olivier Peslier: "It's possible I wouldn't have won if I hadn't use the whip. The horse was stopping and I wanted to make sure. Imagine if I hadn't used the whip and the horse had finished second. What would they have had to say then?"
2. City Honours 12-1
John Reid: "Olivier came down the outside and it was a big fight. I thought I would get him and then I thought I wouldn't. In the end he just got the better of me."
3. Border Arrow 25-1
Ray Cochrane: "We decided to give him time to get balanced so I sat at the back and then moved round the outside. It couldn't have worked out better."
4. Sunshine Street 150-1
John Murtagh: "Noel Meade told me to attack. At the two-furlong marker I was starting to get a few butterflies as they were not getting to me. It was really great."
5. Greek Dance 5-1
Walter Swinburn: "He had a good position but I was never happy. He never got out of his short, clipping stride and maybe he was telling us he does not like Epsom."
6. The Glow-Worm 20-1
Darryll Holland: "He had a clear passage and ran a brave race."
7. Sadian 25-1
Kieren Fallon: "He was staying on but needed more cut."
8. Second Empire 9-2
Michael Kinane: "I knew we weren't going to win by the time we got to the top of the hill."
9. Cape Verdi 11-4 fav
Frankie Dettori: "I don't think she handled the track. We were knocked about a little - it got a bit tight and we got a couple of nudges. In saying that, everything was going sweet and we were in a good position but I felt we never stood a chance five out when we started going down the hill."
10. Saratoga Springs 20-1
Willie Ryan: "He travelled very well until the three-furlong pole when he started to run out of petrol. I think he was just tired - he has had some exertions lately."
11. Gulland 12-1
Michael Hills: "Everything went to plan until he stopped as soon as he entered the straight. I am very disappointed."
12. Courteous 14-1
Richard Quinn: "It was an ordinary gallop and he didn't handle the track."
13. Mutamam 50-1
Michael Roberts: "It was disappointing - he was never happy coming down the hill."
14. Haami 20-1
Richard Hills: "Very disappointing and no excuses."
15. King Of Kings 11-2
Pat Eddery: "He didn't come down the hill. I don't know why."

Among the obstacles to successful breast cancer chemotherapy, three have been critical: problems of drug delivery, drug resistance, and cancer stem cells (CSCs). Until now, no effort has been made to address all three issues in a single approach. This proposal seeks to meet the challenge through a nanoplatform that we recently developed, which is comprised of a human serum albumin (HSA) coating, an amine-rich intermediate coating, and an iron oxide nanoparticle (lONP) core. It structurally resembles Abraxane, a commercial paclitaxel-HSA complex, but has smaller hydrodynamic size therefore better tumor accumulation rate and extravasation rate. Such favorable pharmacokinetics can be further improved by adding an external field at the tumor sites, making the nanoplatform a promising drug delivery vehicle. With superior ligand binding capability afforded by both the outer HSA and intermediate amine-rich layers, such nanoplatform can load a broad range of drug molecules. In this proposal, we plan to load such a nanoplatform with doxorubicin (or paclitaxel), salinomycin and tariquidar (or siRNA that targets the MDR-1 gene). Doxorubicin (or paclitaxel) is a chemotherapeutic agent that is commonly used in breast cancer therapy, directed toward killing the differentiated tumor cells that account for most of a tumor mass. Salinomycin is a recently identified therapeutic agent with selective CSC killing capability. Both tariquidar and siRNA can function as MDR-1 inhibitors and their modulating effects may lead to increased drug accumulation. It is hoped that, with complementary cancer killing mechanisms and favorable tumor targeting profile provided by the nanoplatform, this novel approach may lead to dramatically improved therapeutic effects. This will be the first investigation on tumor therapy to address problems of drug delivery, drug resistance, and CSCs in a single approach. Success of this study may be a milestone in breast cancer therapy for providing a powerful, all-inone, breast cancer therapeutic regimen.
This proposal aims to load a novel nanoplatform with doxorubicin (or paclitaxel), salinomycin and MDR-1 modulator (tariquidar or siRNA that targets MDR-1 gene) and use the resulted nanoconjugates for combinational breast cancer therapy. The investigation is important for being the first time to address drug delivery, drug resistance and cancer stem cell (CSC) killing in a single breast cancer therapy approach.

You and me both Zem. Rain, I can deal with - most of the time. But the
winds, hail and tornados in our state are getting old. What limbs
DIDN'T fall
during that winter ice storm, fell yesterday morning when we had strong
and heavy rainfall. We are going to go from winter, nothing but rain
storms, to the dog days of summer. The humidity here is HORRIBLE and my
llamas are suffering. We can't sheer them until they dry out some...and
can't dry OUT until we have a few days of no rain and thunderstorms.

Weatherbug just piped up to let me know we are
under yet another severe
thunderstorm watch until 10:00 p.m. This includes
the possibility of 70 mph
winds and 2.5" hail. I am so sick of being stuck in
our current weather
cycle. I don't mind that we are ahead of our normal rain
fall, but I could
surely do without the storms.

Here's one of our favorite words at the USO: "Free." It can mean different things in different contexts, but we always want to make sure that service members know that our programs and services are always FREE for them. Today's "Letter Back Home" reiterates the importance of that word and how just a phone call or a few minutes on the internet can make a big difference.
What's your favorite USO program or service? What programs did we offer in the past that you'd like to see available today? We want to hear your feedback!

Baking a Difference: Dog Tag Bakery Provides Job Training and Community for Transitioning Service Members
Upon first glance, Dog Tag Bakery seems like any other cafe. But one look at the patriotic décor – like the dog tag chandelier – and it's clear there's more going on behind the counter than cake decorating.

Have you ever made a rash decision that you wish you could take back the second you made it? One employer must feel that way right about now. Last week, a federal court refused to dismiss FMLA claims made against the employer by an employee who was terminated for exceeding the number of "episodes" of depression his doctor estimated he would have. This sad story is a lesson for all employers, because it raises such a common circumstance all employers face.
Fincantieri Marine Group (FMG), which builds ships, employed Jim Hansen, a shipbuilder, who suffered from depression. Jim provided medical certification documenting his depression as a serious health condition and indicating that he would have episodic flare-ups that would periodically prevent him from working. Jim's doc estimated that he would have about four flare-ups during a six-month period with a duration of incapacity of two to five days per episode.
That's easy enough, I suppose. Until Jim had 10 episodes of depression in about half that time. The employer clearly had reason for concern. But what followed was a costly misstep. The employer (through its third party administrator) sent a rather cryptic note directly to Jim's doctor, stating simply:
"[Jim]'s 7/1 absence is out of his frequency and duration. Please confirm item #7." [Author Note: #7 mistakenly referred to the wrong question on the medical certification. Nevertheless, the court presumed that the employer was referring to the frequency and duration of the serious heath condition.]
"[Jim]'s 7/1 absence is out of his frequency and duration. Please confirm item #7." [Author Note: #7 mistakenly referred to the wrong question on the medical certification. Nevertheless, the court presumed that the employer was referring to the frequency and duration of the serious heath condition.]
Jim's health care provider, Dr. Post, replied with an equally cryptic response:
"7/6/11: Item #7 confirmed. P."
"7/6/11: Item #7 confirmed. P."
Garbage in, garbage out, it seems to me.
Based on Dr. Post's response, FMG denied Jim's request for FMLA leave for his July 1 absence and sent him a letter informing him that his request was denied because his approved leave under the medical certification was exhausted. Jim was absent thereafter on several occasions and all were denied in reliance on the doctor's notation above.
When Jim blew past the number of absences allowed under FMG's attendance program, FMG terminated Jim's employment. Although he had been granted FMLA leave, FMG explained that he had exceeded the frequency his doctor certified. After his termination, Jim filed a lawsuit alleging FMLA interference and retaliation claims.
In seeking to dismiss Jim's lawsuit, FMG argued that Jim's termination was proper because his absences "significantly exceeded the estimated frequency set forth in the certification provided by Dr. Post."
Agreed that they exceeded the estimate by a long shot. But did exceeding the doctor's estimate mean that Jim was not entitled to leave and could be terminated for these absences? As an initial matter, there was no evidence that Jim was engaging in FMLA abuse or fraud. Similarly, everyone agreed that Jim provided adequate notice of his need for FMLA leave on each occasion he had a flare-up. Because Jim already had an initial medical certification on file with FMG regarding his depression, the employer's only recourse under the regulations was to seek recertification of the serious health condition.
Under the FMLA regulations, an employer may request recertification if:
Circumstances described by the previous certification have changed significantly (e.g., the duration or frequency of the absence, the nature or severity of the illness, complications). . . .
Circumstances described by the previous certification have changed significantly (e.g., the duration or frequency of the absence, the nature or severity of the illness, complications). . . .
29 C.F.R. § 825.308(c)(2) (emphasis added). Clearly, circumstances changed significantly here when Jim took leave on 10 occasions even though his certification estimated it should only be four.
Rather than request recertification, however, FMG took an entirely different approach: 1) it didn't send Jim a notice that recertification was required; 2) instead, it inappropriately contacted Jim's doctor directly to seek certification; and 3) it did not ask the doctor to certify that the additional absences were due to Jim's serious medical condition. In fact, FMG didn't seek recertification at all. It merely asked that the doctor confirm his previous certification. Based on the doctor's ambiguous response, it is unclear whether the doctor even understood the employer's request.
Consequently, the court determined that there was enough evidence for a jury to decide whether FMG interfered with Jim's FMLA rights. Hansen v. Fincantieri Marine Group (pdf)
Insights for Employers
What should FMG have done here? Several items are worth noting:

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TGP500B04 1.9 GHz DECT 6.0 1X Handsets Cordless Phone
Pros: I've really enjoyed using this phone. It only makes a few compromises, durable even when dropped, and works well with my VoIP.ms service. Twice a year I've had to reboot it because it seemed to not connect to my provider. It could have been the router or something else, however.
Cons: The audio quality could be better, not that it is bad. But I have a very nice desk phone (Snom 370) and this phone is a notch under that. The other downside is the web interface requires you to enable it (every time) from the phone itself. Bit of a hassle.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Logitech Wheel Black 3 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB or PS/2 Wired Optical 800 dpi Mouse
Pros: This is the best mouse in terms of the click switches they use. They just last and last.
Cons: Could look a touch better in the fashion sense by removing the Logitech logo on the top. Looks out of place. The small plastic glued on feet don't last that long or come on and you have to reapply them.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: HP 304A Black LaserJet Toner Cartridge (CC530A)
Pros: Manufacturing tolerances are better when you go with OEM equipment. Buy from Newegg unless you want to risk getting a clone too.
Cons: Is there gold dusk in these things?READ FULL REVIEW

1 firewall active. If Comodo set up correctly then suggest "disabling" Window one. Major conflict/slow down potential here.
You should be fine w/ Avast plus free on-demand Malwarebytes MBAM. exe.
I would expect conflict & slow down problems when Ad-Aware is combined w/ Avast! so recommend you un-install Ad-Aware program since your happy w/ Avast!
After that, if you have, I'd run CCleaner or other cleaner, & then reboot. This should make major improvement noticeable.
You can get CCleaner SLIM (check "Other builds") for FREE from:
Good Luck!!
I had tried a whole bunch of anti viruses and found that Avast Home is the best one for my needs. It use to take five hours to scan my computer, around 200GB - this included my external hardware.
I was talking to a few people about a month ago and was told to get Ad aware and Malwarebytes because anti virus programs don't completely get rid of everything.
Now Avast takes 12 hours to scan, when I also set up Ad aware and Malwarebytes. Do they clash? I'm I over reacting with virus', malware, trojans etc?
I have Vista if that helps at all, as well a Windows firewall and Comodo firewall.
Thanks in advanced,

Hurt and Pain: Literature and the Suffering BodyBy: Susannah B. Mintz (author)Hardback
More than 4 weeks availability
DescriptionHurt and Pain: Literature and the Suffering Body examines the strategies authors have used to portray bodies in pain, drawing on a diverse range of literary texts from the seventeenth century to the present day. Susannah B. Mintz provides readings of canonical writers including John Donne, Emily Dickinson, and Samuel Beckett, alongside contemporary writers such as Ana Castillo and Margaret Edson, focusing on how pain is shaped according to the conventions-and also experiments-of genre: poetry, memoir, drama, and fiction. With insights from disability theory and recent studies of the language of pain, Mintz delivers an important corrective to our most basic fears of physical suffering, revealing through literature that pain can be a source of connection, compassion, artistry, and knowledge. Not only an important investigation of authors' formal and rhetorical choices, Hurt and Pain reveals how capturing pain in literature can become a fundamental component of crafting human experience.

Coverage Area
The APAC140HC is equipped with 14,000 BTUs of cooling power and can effectively cool a room up to 525 square feet in size. This compact, yet powerful portable air conditioner is perfect for cooling bedrooms, offices, or living spaces. The APAC140HC doubles as an 86 pint dehumidifier, which removes excess humidity from the air, helping the space to feel even cooler and improving air quality.
How to Install
- Step 1: Place window kit plate into window opening.
- Step 2: Slide plate to cover the width of the opening.
- Step 3: Close window to hold plate in place.
- Step 4: Attach intake and exhaust hose to the unit.
- Step 5: Place the other end of both the intake and exhaust hose into the holes on the window plate.
* Please Note: The portable air conditioner shown in this video is to demonstrate installation only, it is not model APAC140HC.
To easily vent the portable air conditioner, the APAC140HC includes a window kit that can conveniently be fitted in windows that are 32" - 56" in size. Window kits for portable air conditioners take up much less space than installing a window air conditioner, which means you don't have to worry about blocking the light or view from your window.
Invisimist System
To reduce the frequency that the water tank must be manually emptied, the Invisimist System includes an internal pump, water line and misting nozzle that extracts water from the tank and mists it out the window vent.
Dual Hose
Separate intake and exhaust hoses allow for more air intake, cooling power, and more stable air pressure, which contributes to a 40% faster cooling rate.
Intelligent Mode
The unit will automatically adjust the fan speed and other settings to keep the area cool to the set temperature.
Self-Evaporative System
Built with an automatic drain system that is able to exhaust all liquid formed by condensation so that there is no need to manually drain the unit in most climates.
Dehumidify Mode
In this mode, the APAC140HC will remove up to 86 pints of moisture per day from the air.
All of the settings on the unit can be conveniently controlled from across the room via the remote control.
- Power - Switches unit on/off.
- Mode - Cool, dehumidify and fan only mode.
- Fan - Sets the fan to high/medium/low.
- Up / Down - Increases temperature or time when timer is enabled. Decreases temperature or time when timer is enabled.
- Timer - Enables timer.
- LED Display - Shows indicators for fan speed, mode, temperature setting, clock, timer and Fahrenheit and Celsius settings.
Condensate is expelled from the unit through the hose, but in more humid climates where moisture is more prevalent, the excess moisture can be drained through the drain in the back of the unit.
No Restrictions
For spaces where window air units are not allowed, portable air conditioners are a great alternative as they do not protrude from the outside, allowing them to comply with building codes and HOA's.
Non-Permanent Installation
As long as there is a place to vent the hot air and a standard electrical outlet available, portable air conditioners can be used wherever and whenever needed and easily moved or stored when not in use.
Cut Costs
Instead of turning down your central A/C unit for that one room that is always a few degrees hotter than the rest, Portable ACs can be an efficient way to cool hot spots in your home without sacrificing your electricity bill.
User Friendly
Easy to connect and operate, portable air conditioners can be used wherever and whenever needed and easily moved or stored when not in use.
Optional Accessories
3 Year Date of Purchase Warranty
Provides 3 years of extended protection beyond the original warranty.
Upgraded Portable AC Vent Kit for Sliding Glass Doors and Large Windows
Upgrade your installation options with this large window and sliding door vent kit.
Portable Air Conditioner Drop Ceiling Vent Kit
Vent your portable air conditioner through your drop ceiling with this ceiling vent kit.

Zuccotti Park is set to be the stage for a confrontation between the protestors of Occupy Wall Street and the City of New York. Meanwhile, some protestors and celebrities are taking Bloomberg's "cleanup" in their own hands.
Occupy Wall Street protesters might be out of a home tomorrow morning.
On Wednesday night, Mayor Bloomberg announced plans to empty and clean Zuccotti Park, quadrant by quadrant. The park had not been cleaned since Occupy Wall Street protesters received their permit to stay there, nearly a month ago.
However, now protesters are worried they won't be allowed back in the park once its cleaned. Here's what they're saying.
