Generally speaking, politicians need to possess many skills when running for public office; a velvet tongue is chief among them. But in a puzzling and blatant example of what not to say, Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich took aim at General Motors, and the Obama administration, when he claimed to supporters at a rally in his home state of Georgia that '"You cannot put a gun rack in a [Chevy] Volt" [which you can view here via Fox News].
Gingrich's comments come in the wake of fellow republican and presidential hopeful, Rick Santorum who recently stated that President Obama placed "Earth above man." The former speaker of the house also went on to say "there's no reason we couldn't have a stable price around $2 or $2.50," for a gallon of gasoline by simply "drowning demand in supply.'"
Speaking from an automotive perspective, Gingrich's comments have us a bit baffled. Not only can you put a gun rack on a Chevy Volt – although why you would want to currently escapes us – Gingrich's perceived attack on GM's fuel efficient auto doesn't seem to make much political sense either.
The American auto industry is finally getting back on its feet – GM recently announced a record $7.6 billion profit last year, the highest in the company's 103-year history –- and Newt Gingrich is trailing behind both Romney and Santorum in many state polls. Will his recent gun-rack gaff set the trailing Republican further back?
Regardless of what your personal feelings towards Chevy's Volt are, the reality is that success and support of American companies like General Motors is good for the country.
For a right-leaning conservative candidate like Gingrich, it seems odd he would take aim at GM. The American automotive company is the largest in the country, with Chevy Volts being assembled domestically at GM plants by Americans, for Americans.
Following the rally in Georgia, Gingrich was by no means in a conciliatory mood when he appeared on CBS's "This Morning" with Charlie Rose. Gingrich went so far as to accuse the Obama administration of wanting higher gas costs, referring to previous statements made by the current administration that suggested American gas prices should elevate to European levels.
When questioned by host Charlie Rose whether he actually believed President Obama wanted higher gas prices, Gingrich responded by saying that back in 2008, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, wanted gas prices to equal that of Europe. Gingrich further went on to attack the President's policies toward energy as "outrageously anti-American."
With Gingrich labeling President Obama for his "outrageously anti-American" policy toward energy, we continue to scratch our heads at what Gingrich actually considers "American." The Republican candidate has long been a proponent of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline citing it as a solution to country's energy demands – in reality at full effect the pipeline would only contribute about 5-percent of the nation's energy demands — and a creator of thousands of jobs for Americans (Bloomberg later reported that number to be in the region of 20 – yes, only 20).
For those that may be unaware, the Keystone XL pipeline would stretch from western Canada all the way down along the Gulf Coast of Texas. Not surprisingly, it has been met with a great deal of opposition on Capitol Hill as well as notable environmental agencies such as the Sierra Club.
As is the case in many election campaigns the slightest misstep can cause irreparable damage. Up until now, Gingrich's outrageous comments may have fallen like flakes of snow on an otherwise lost campaign, but his latest could be the avalanche needed to bring the whole thing down.

This intimate, one-stop cosmetic boutique has everything a girl could hope for, from Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier (they carry her amazing eyelash curler) to Dior, Tom Ford, Clinique and many more.
I'm thrilled to have high-end makeup back in the Village! Lose your lip liner at Herringbone on Friday night? No problem, just pop in to Cos Bar over the weekend and replace it along with a few other goodies. We have not had this kind of luxury since Saks Fifth Avenue left in 2005.
You can also get your makeup done for an event or night out and you don't have to drive all the way to UTC or Fashion Valley. The staff can do anything from bridal looks to a "five-minute face" for a mom on the go.
When I met with store manager Christine Sandoval and her staff, I was truly impressed with their passion for and knowledge of beauty. Many of the staff members have backgrounds in theater and runway fashion show makeup. I also noticed how they really work together to help the client get her best look.
You might go in wanting a Bobbi Brown gloss, but if that color is not quite right, they will cross-sell brands so you might end up leaving with a Dior gloss, Laura Mercier liner, Clinique blush — whatever is best for the client, not a specific brand. That is a level of service you can only get in a boutique-type setting.
Stop in and welcome them to the Village. You won't leave empty-handed, I promise you. The two things I'm obsessed with are the Tom Ford lipsticks (FYI, it's almost impossible to get this line — and at $48.50 a tube, it's a splurge but so worth it, with amazing colors and a smoothness I've never seen in a lipstick before), and a mineral makeup/sunscreen from a brand called La Bella Donna. It comes in an all-inclusive tube with brush and makeup so it's easy to keep in your purse for touch-ups.The product is so natural you can apply it after surgeries, face peel, etc. and at $65, it's in line with other mineral makeups. Happy shopping!

The site is a sports handicapping site. The main goal of the website is to make sales from our predictions on games. The secondary goal is to build our email list up. The other goal is to have the public click on the banner ads.
General Public
I like the 3 column layout I currently have. The example page I am going to give you here http://www.madduxsports.com/nba-han…ppers.html is a typical page of the website. This is the minmium amount of text on the pages in the center column for most pages of the website. The bottom navigaton under the NBA betting header typically will have this many links as well for the different sections of the website.
I really just wanted something updated and a cooler look. The top nav looks generic. The bottom nav and right hand nav could look sharper as well. I do like the dark blue color and would like to keep it incorporated in the new design somehow.

MACON, Ga. (May 16, 2012) – Putting together top marks during the ETSU men's and women's track and field teams' final weekend of scheduled meets, junior Jason Johnson (Philadelphia, Pa.) and freshman Katerina Vodova (Humpolec, Czech Republic) were named Atlantic Sun Men's and Women's Field Athlete of the Week, the league office announced on Wednesday.
The men's honor is Johnson's second of his collegiate career, having earned his other selection the week of May 4 during last year's outdoor season. Vodova's women's selection is her third of the year and second in two weeks. The freshman was also recognized the week of Jan. 25 during the indoor season.
Johnson competed in the triple jump at both the Clemson Qualifier and NC A&T Aggie Classic. At Clemson, Johnson set his personal best in the jump with a non-wind-aided distance of 15.09m to earn second place. On Sunday at the Aggie Classic, Johnson posted a distance of 14.90m, earning sixth place.
In his triple jump performances this outdoor season, Johnson has now earned 13 top fives including two event victories.
Vodova competed in the long jump at the Clemson Qualifier and took first place with a distance of 5.76m. The gold medal was Vodova's second of the outdoor season, having also taken first place in the heptathlon at the A-Sun Outdoor Championships. In that heptathlon performance, the freshman took first in the long jump leg.
Vodova also competed in the high jump at Clemson, earning third place by clearing 1.60m.
Overall, ETSU has now earned five men's and six women's Field Athlete of the Week honors through its 2011-12 campaign. The five men's selections tie the Buccaneers with USC Upstate for the most this year, while the six women's field honors lead all A-Sun school.

News Release: November 15, 2012
Docket No. AD07-13-005
Item No. A-4
FERC Reviews Fiscal 2012 Enforcement Activities
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commissions Office of Enforcement is continuing to focus on matters involving fraud and market manipulation, serious violations of mandatory reliability standards, anticompetitive conduct and conduct that threatens the transparency of regulated markets.
That is the assessment of the Office of Enforcements annual Report on Enforcement that recaps for the public and the regulated community the work done by the Office of Enforcements four divisions Investigations, Audits, Energy Market Oversight and Analytics and Surveillance in fiscal 2012. The report is available at www.ferc.gov.
Conduct involving fraud and market manipulation poses a significant threat to FERC-regulated power and natural gas markets as it undermines the Commissions goal of providing efficient energy services at a reasonable cost because the losses imposed by such actions ultimately are passed on to consumers.
Similarly, anticompetitive conduct and conduct that threatens market transparency undermine confidence in energy markets and harm consumers and competitors. Such conduct also might involve the violation of rules designed to limit market power or to ensure the efficient operation of regulated markets. Of particular concern to Enforcement are cases involving the greatest harm to the public, where there often is significant gain to the violator or loss to the victims of the misconduct.
Some highlights of todays Enforcement report:
- Enforcement received 89 self-reports of potential violations of FERC rules in fiscal 2012. Staff closed 49 after initial reviews and without opening investigations. At the end of the fiscal year, staff reviews were pending on 46 self-reports, including those from prior years. Staff received self-reports from a variety of market participants, including power marketers, electric utilities, natural gas companies, and RTO/ISOs.
- Fiscal 2012 also saw the implementation of the North American Electric Reliability Corporations Find, Fix, and Track Report (FFT) enforcement mechanism. FERC received 12 FFTs reporting 707 possible violations.
- In fiscal 2012 Enforcement created a new division, the Division of Analytics and Surveillance, to conduct surveillance and analyze transactional and market data to detect potential manipulation, anticompetitive behavior and other anomalous activities in energy markets.
- Enforcement completed 44 financial, compliance and performance audits of public utilities, natural gas pipelines, and storage companies covering a variety of topics. The audits resulted in 399 recommendations for corrective action and directed $5.8 million in refunds, as well as accounting adjustments of $3.5 million that will preclude their recovery through future rate proceedings.
- In fiscal 2012, FERC approved nine settlement agreements entered into by Enforcement for total civil penalty payments of more than $148 million and disgorgement of more than $119 million plus interest.
- Enforcement worked with NERC and the regional reliability entities to address 45 Notices of Penalty (NOPs) that NERC filed with the Commission in fiscal 2012, in which the regional entities proposed penalties totaling nearly $6.5 million for alleged violations of the Reliability Standards.
- In fiscal 2012 Enforcement issued its Energy Primer, a comprehensive overview of natural gas and electric markets with detail on specific market segments.

After another thrilling season of continental football, we are finally closing in on the campaign's showpiece event - the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium.
This year's competition has again produced some memorable moments as the continent's biggest and best clubs battle to be crowned European champions for 2013.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were again prominent as their sides made it to the semi-finals and battled with Borussia Dortmund star Robert Lewandowski and Bayern Munich's Thomas Muller to win the Golden Boot award.
But where do they currently rank against the best goalscorers in the history of the European Cup and Champions League?
Here, in a star-studded list, Goal provide the lowdown of the top 10 all-time scorers in the tournament, with only goals from the group stages onwards being counted - no qualifying rounds.
|10. Alessandro Del Piero - 42 goals
Alessandro Del Piero is one of the four players profiled in our top 10 who scored all his Champions League goals for only one club.
The former Juventus icon netted 42 times for the current Italian champions in Europe's elite club competition during his lengthy career at the top, winning the Golden Boot award twice.
He helped them to win the trophy in 1996, playing the full game in the eventual triumph over Ajax on penalties and also participated in three other finals for Juve, although they all ended in defeat.
Despite being a prolific goalscorer in the competition, he only scored once in his four appearances in the Champions League final, against Borussia Dortmund in 1997.
|9. Filippo Inzaghi - 46 goals
A two-time winner of the Champions League, Filippo Inzaghi certainly made his mark in the competition over 13 years with Juventus and, most significantly, AC Milan.
Strangely, Inzaghi is one of just two players in our list who never won the Champions League Golden Boot during his career, so making his way into the overall top 10 serves to highlight his consistency in front of goal on an annual basis.
The striker's most significant contributions saw him net a double and win the man-of-the-match award as Milan defeated Liverpool in the 2007 final in Athens, avenging their infamous Istanbul defeat in the final of two years before, a game which he had missed out on.
|8. Eusebio - 47 goals
One of the two great players in our list who performed their heroics in the competition before the modern Champions League era is Eusebio.
The Portugal legend led Benfica to a string of European Cup finals over the course of the 1960s in an historically-important spell which saw the Portuguese giants challenge Real Madrid's early dominance of the tournament.
A three-time Golden Boot winner in 1965, 1966 and 1968, Eusebio's 47 goals came over the course of just 64 European matches.
|7. Andriy Shevchenko - 48 goals
While his spell at Chelsea may not have been prolific, Andriy Shevchenko's goalscoring exploits for Dynamo Kiev and AC Milan ensure he is still up there with Europe's greats in our top 10.
The Ukraine icon won the Golden Boot twice, but with a large seven-year gap (in 1999 and 2006), while he was also on the winning and losing end of penalty shoot-outs in the final.
In 2003 he scored the decisive spot-kick as Milan beat Juventus at Old Trafford to win the trophy, but two years later it was his miss that sealed Liverpool's remarkable comeback against the San Siro giants in Istanbul.
|6. Alfredo Di Stefano - 49 goals
Legendary Real Madrid star Alfredo Di Stefano is the player with the best goalscoring strike-rate in our top 10, with his 49 European Cup goals sensationally arriving in just 58 games.
Famously part of the side who won the first five competitions between 1956 and 1960 to go along with his own personal goalscoring exploits, he arguably goes down as the most decorated player in the tournament's history.
Di Stefano scored a hat-trick in the memorable 7-3 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the 1960 final to help seal the fifth-successive trophy at Hampden Park, which was amongst numerous other great moments in his continental career.
|5. Thierry Henry - 50 goals
Despite never winning the Golden Boot in his Champions League career, Thierry Henry still impressively made it to 50 goals in the tournament during his time with Monaco, Arsenal and Barcelona.
It was for the Gunners that he scored the majority of his European goals, but having failed at the last hurdle with Arsenal in 2006, he finally won the competition in 2009 with Barca - starting in the Rome final against Manchester United.
|4. Cristiano Ronaldo - 50 goals
The semi-finals of this year's competition may have been miserable for Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid as they suffered a demoralising defeat to Borussia Dortmund, but the first leg of the tie did see the Portuguese star reach his half-century of goals in the Champions League.
Ronaldo won the Golden Boot as he helped Manchester United to win the 2008 competition and led them to another final in 2009, where Sir Alex Ferguson's men lost to Barcelona.
While he has not been able to enjoy the same level of team success in the tournament so far since moving to the Santiago Bernabeu, he has become an even more prolific player, having now netted over double the amount of goals for Madrid in Europe than he ever did at United.
Ronaldo beats Henry in our list due to playing in fewer games to reach the 50 mark - he has played 92 in the competition to date, compared to the Frenchman's final total of 114.
|3. Ruud van Nistelrooy - 56 goals
One of the most prolific poachers in the modern era, Ruud van Nistelrooy certainly made his mark in the Champions League during his illustrious career.
A winner of the Golden Boot three times in the space of four seasons in 2002, 2003 and 2005, backing Van Nistelrooy to score became a common theme of a European night, with him eventually racking up a stunning total of 56 goals.
The big frustration for the Dutchman when he looks back on his career will be his failure to win the tournament, despite having spent his peak years at Manchester United and Real Madrid, two of the continent's biggest and most successful club sides.
|2. Lionel Messi - 59 goals
It will take something truly exceptional to prevent Lionel Messi sitting at No.1 on this list by the time his career has reached a conclusion.
Despite still being only 25, the Argentine superstar is already second, above all but one of the continent's great goalscorers of past and present on 59 goals from 79 Champions League games.
The remarkably consistent Messi has won the Golden Boot in each of the last four seasons, although one of Cristiano Ronaldo or Robert Lewandowski is set to break that streak this time around.
Having already won the tournament three times with Barcelona, the potential list of team and individual honours Messi could rack up by the end of his playing days could be truly spectacular.
|1. Raul - 71 goals
Follow Chris Myson on
The man Messi is chasing for top spot in the Champions League goalscoring stakes is Real Madrid legend Raul, who also netted a handful of strikes for Schalke in the competition after leaving the Bernabeu.
The striker scored a total of 71 times in a stunning European career in front of goal and will always be synonymous with a tournament he won on three occasions for the Spanish capital giants.
While Raul's place at the top of the charts may not be ever-lasting with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo making up fast ground, it looks like he is going to hold on to the top spot for a while longer yet.

Play a mage with piercing rod? Short of worshipping Mystera Annur and wiping resistance, there seems to be no viable way to play a non-warlord melee class in dungeons that feature two bosses, each resistant to a different flavor of damage. Melee lacks a tool like the piercing wand, and i find unless you have immense durability (warlord) it's nigh impossible to kill some of the bosses in this game. There's the really big sword, but not only is the passive crippling (especially to the low durability, high damage classes that need it the most [rogue, assassin]), but it doesn't even grant full damage penetration.
Am I missing something?

A 63-year-old Sun City man was found dead near his home Saturday afternoon.
Sgt. Harry German confirmed Sunday that the body of Angelo Begonia had been discovered.
Begonia had been missing since Thursday night.
"One of the searchers found him," said Jasper County Coroner Martin Sauls. "He was not too far from his house… on a walking a trail or something… but it was hard to see him because he was out in the woods."
Sauls said Begonia's body will be sent to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston today for an autopsy.
"There was no sign of any kind of foul play; it was definitely natural causes," the coroner said.
Sun City issued a "silver alert" for Angelo Begonia after he was reported missing by his wife, Maxine Begonia.
He was last seen by her at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at their home on 472 Mystic Point Drive, according to Sun City officials.
The home is in the side of Sun City north of U.S. 278 in the Hardeeville city limits.
Angelo Begonia reportedly went across the street to go to a neighbor's home. But at 8:30 p.m., when Maxine Begonia called the neighbor, she was told Angelo never showed up. They searched the neighborhood and finally notified authorities after 11 p.m. Thursday.
Search teams Friday and Saturday included Hardeeville police officers, Hardeeville firefighters, Sun City private security officers, Sun City residents, a State Law Enforcement Division helicopter and a bloodhound from the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office.

Wesley Sneijder has insisted he has no intention of signing a new contract with Inter while he is frozen out of the first team, but president Massimo Moratti remains confident a deal can be struck.
The Netherlands star has been left out of Andrea Stramaccioni's side as a dispute over his current deal continues, with the club insistent the player accept a cut to his €6 million salary.
Although Moratti had previously insisted there was no animosity between the San Siro outfit and the player, Sneijder has made it clear that he will not commit to a new deal while he is not involved in the first team.
The 28-year-old told reporters: "At this moment I'm not playing, I have no intention of signing Inter's contract."
Sneijder's statement is at odds with the words of Moratti, who had earlier expressed a belief that an agreement could be reached over the issue.
The 68-year-old told reporters: "I've spoken to those who attended the meeting, they sounded quite pleased.
"Both parties behaved sensibly. Now it's up to them, it's up to Sneijder, who is still an Inter player of course. We'll see.
"I think a lot of this has come from the media and obviously we're trying to agree on certain things, otherwise he'll stay at the club. What's important is that he's fit and playing well, that's all I care about."
Moratti also stated he would not need to attend any further talks in person, saying: "This is something which can be resolved easily. If they need me though, I will of course be there."
He also moved to clarify the player's position within the first team, insisting the former Real Madrid man will return to the side soon.
"Of course [he'll play again], as soon as he's ready," added Moratti.
"He's ready to play if he's fit and on form, not just because he's Sneijder."
Sneijder, who is being linked with the likes of Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, has only made five appearances in Serie A this season.

How come there aren't more black dudes in indie pop-rock?
Feel free to take a sincere crack at the question, post exceptions to my (made-up?) rule, but don't call me a racist if that's just OK.
I think it's a legit question. White boys don't seem to have any qualms adopting hip-hop, eh.
Here's the thing: black dudes have an exceptionally high kick-ass indie per-capita rating. I wasn't all that crazy about Dev (Haines?) but then we have TVotR, Twin Shawdow, The Weeknd (which sorta only barely counts as R&B is really more accurate)...and I can't think of any black artists I find mediocre or worse until we get to Frank Ocean.
Seriously, though. Not many black artists out front. I think we need more afros in indie rock. That's all I'm saying. Start a recruiting program, something like that.
I know I'm going down for this
Goddamn indie bedwetters can't be anything other than politically correct hypersensitive.
Santigold. Ninja from the Go Team!
Really it's not even limited to indie rock ... it goes all throughout rock'n'roll history. Quick thing of black-fronted classic rock bands? OK, Thin Lizzy...that's one.
Also, people playing other culture's music and stuff brings those peoples together. You could possibly look at this as positive socia engineer--
Alright, now I am getting carried away. Which I blame on the vodka. Obv.

haha of course
what was I thinking?
because it's not cool
and there's no money in it
I would imagine there is plenty written about this by social psycologists that know more about than I do
but I would imagine (from my sheltered UK white British background, natch) that it is a product of your surroundings/upbringing* - probably the same reason I'm not into hip hop, happy hardcore, or American blues rock, which is that I wasn't exposed to it in a meaningful way, or entrenched in it amongst my peers or family.
There will be outliers on all curves that are into it, but surely when growing up you can be quite sheltered without knowing it? I know I was.
*Note: I don't mean poverty, education or even familial arrangements, but more the cultural exposure that you are subject to.
OR the safe reply: No idea.
I think there is also an element of class involved,
which *would* feed directly from money and education. "Indie pop-rock" has a strong middle-class vibe to it and in our society there are far fewer black middle-classes than white middle-classes.
Obviously there are plenty of historic examples of working class rock bands but it feels to me like they are now more exceptional, maybe because of the exposure you're talking about, which means that while the parents of Noel and Liam (and the like) were into a lot of guitar bands (because that was the main thing when they grew up) there's maybe not the same spread amongst Noel and Liam's generation who are (presumably) the parents of the likes of Jake Bugg.
And, of course, any generalisation is ripe for being picked apart by specific examples. But we *are* are talking in general here.
I hadn't noticed
thats how not racist I am

Tim Brown from the Boo Radleys, Debbie Smith of Curve/Echobelly/Blindness, Jonathan Thompson from Oppressed By The Line, Alex & Rudy from AR Kane.

Same reason festival-goers are 99% white
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
i give this thread 2 hours
before georgiabeth comes in and deservedly nukes you all
here's some educational reading in the meantime: http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?action=showall&boardid=41&threadid=7951
"Does James Brown actually have any musical talent or does he just grunt alot and hire good bands?"
- NickDS this'd this
Noit sure if relevant
a more valid thread
might instead suggest that 'indie' music could generally benefit from being less homogenous and entreat others to submit recommendations of people from other cultural backgrounds taking on the western 'indie' archetypes in their own distinct way. only in the sense that any such fusion might produce interesting results.
could start that thread about any relatively hermetic genre, though. the way the OP has written this thread comes across as clumsy and blinkered.
If you want to base your entire opinion of them on one chapter of one book, then sure, but whatever
How about Dead Kennedys or The Fix instead then?
bit racist that, mate
they dont all look alike, you know.
ones from lebanon
one from texas, one from california and the other puerto rico.
none of them are black.
WTF, dis?
But to the OP question ...
... I do often wonder why we rarely see successful bands with black musicians playing instruments these days.
Singers, rappers, DJs, producers, yeah there's loads ... but where are the bands?
and proper haircuts
where are the proper haircuts these days eh?
Cmd + F Kele Okereke
Probably the most famous.
Frank Ocean is indie rock?
Rock? ROCK?! Bah!
Don't blame me
Pitchfork expanded the definition.
Remember the ol' days, when we pretended Alicia Keys didn't even exist? Good times.
Please show me where Pitchfork claimed FO was indie-rock
...and I have no idea what you're talking about with your 2nd point.andyvine this'd this
There was a time when pitchfork.com would bring you to some farmer's website
and the muso-webzine's focus was much narrower than it is today.
But when you have to explain the joke, uhm, you know... my bad.
because they can't better Hendrix & Arthur Lee
Plus their mama would slap them
Is this the racist version of the women in rock thread
From the other week?Loui_Tacceh this'd this
Nah, that thread was openly sexist.
The racism in this thread is sneakier.
the opening couple of paragraphs of this review on Pitchfork probably contains a major key factor

REPUBLIC The Republic School District has received more than $5,000 worth of guitars and other equipment thanks to a fundraiser spearheaded by community member Steve Lichterman Cole.
Music teacher Thiry Titus said Cole posted on Facebook last summer that he had a band coming to Republic for a benefit for the music program. He knew the band through his work in event security.
"His kids have all been involved in music classes and he is passionate about live music, so he asked if he could make it a benefit to purchase guitars for the music department," Titus said. "I said that we had only one guitar that was really functional in the department at the time, and that kids do ask all the time if they can play guitar but we don't have that option right now."
In the beginning, it was just a concert to raise money to buy a few guitars, Titus said, adding, "I was assuming it would be three or four if we were lucky."
Cole then continued the Facebook campaign to raise money for the project, Guitars for Kids.
"He raised $500 in the first week and ended up raising $2,000 over the course of the month," Titus said.
Cole and his wife, Karen Lichterman, arranged for the Republic Brewing Co. as a venue for the concert and began gathering donations for an auction. Many local people and businesses donated, and the auction and Facebook campaign combined raised more than $5,000.
"I attended the auction, which packed the brewery so tightly I couldn't make it more than two feet in the door when I arrived just before the beginning of the event," Titus said. "I was completely blown away by the generosity of the community."
The fundraising effort allowed the purchase of 16 guitars, a bass and some other equipment, Titus said.
"We were all blown away by the generosity of the community and the funds raised far exceeded what we had originally discussed," Titus said.
"Steve asked what other things he might be able to help with in the department. Our high hat is falling apart and we had a couple of microphones break last year, so he added those to the shopping list," the teacher said.
The guitars and other equipment will be presented before the homecoming football game Oct. 25.
Students in fourth- through 12th-grades will be able to learn to play the guitar.
Auction items included a Fender guitar, donated by a musician friend of Cole's and autographed by another musician, that sold for more than $400; a half-size guitar that was hand tiled by local artist Janee Covert; a gym membership; an airplane ride over Ferry County; a stay at the Northern Inn, plus packages put together by local individuals and businesses, handicrafts and home-baked goodies.
A cheesecake, baked by city Councilman Leo Jenkins, sold for more than $60, as did both a sheet of homemade almond candy donated by Jennifer Grey and a basket of chocolates handmade by Kristina's Karma Kakes.
"The night wound up with several hours of great blues music by the two musicians Steve brought in who performed in a pass-the-hat donation style to benefit the purchase of guitars," Titus said.
Junkyard Duo, featuring Billy Stoops and Leanne Trevalyan, performed.
"It was amazing to watch the outpouring of support for music and children from our community. I don't think anyone could have imagined how successful this effort would be. I can't wait to see the kids' reaction to this huge addition to our program."

(MCT) — OZAUKEE COUNTY, Wis. — At dawn, the wind was slight and from the northwest.
"Direction is fine, but we could use some more volume," said Jerry Solsrud of Oconomowoc, Wis.
The relatively still air allowed a ground fog to linger, masking the rising sun.
We lugged four mesh bags stuffed with decoys to the edge of a cut corn field and considered our options.
Yes, right here would be fine we decided. We spilled four dozen Canada goose shells among the stubble and began building a spread.
If ever there were a person well-versed in volume, it's Solsrud. He speaks loudly, with a gravelly tone, and with a directness that isn't often misconstrued.
And few hunters log as many days pursuing geese or harvest as many of the big birds in Wisconsin each year as Solsrud.
"The way the birds have been flying, we might be better to not even use decoys," Solsrud said. "But now that we've got them out here, we might as well use them."
Solsrud and I have a tradition of meeting for goose hunts in southeastern Wisconsin.
It's an opportunity to renew friendships, express the hunter/gatherer gene and assist with wildlife management.
The retired engineer is an avid hunter and founding member and former president of the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association. He has a special interest in Canada goose hunting.
When he's not hunting the birds, he's scouting them. In recent days, the geese had been flying to this field about 7:30 a.m.
We met just after sunrise and had the decoys and our chair blinds positioned by 7. Trix, Solsud's yellow Labrador retriever, ran excitedly around the decoys as we talked and waited for signs of geese.
Two distinct populations of Canada geese wing through Wisconsin skies. One breeds in the state and is termed "resident." These birds spend most or all of the year in Wisconsin, depending on weather and other local conditions.
The other group of birds is called the Mississippi Valley Population, breeds in Canada and typically migrates through Wisconsin from October to December.
The management of Canada goose populations and hunting recreation has been a social and biological challenge for Wisconsin since the 1950s, according to the Department of Natural Resources.
The DNR's goal is to manage the two populations in a way that "balances the different and sometimes conflicting societal perspectives of Canada geese."
The DNR works with flyway partners to monitor Canada goose populations with the objective of maintaining a higher rate of harvest on giant Canada geese than MVP Canada geese.
The state holds an early September Canada goose season with a daily bag limit of five in an effort to reduce number of resident birds.
But for the rest of the season, which can include MVP birds, the daily limit is two.
The late November skies in southeastern Wisconsin held thousands of migratory birds. Experienced birders and hunters can tell by the size of the geese.
And then there is other evidence. One goose Solsrud killed locally this fall had been banded in Manitoba.
About 7:45 the first black V appeared in the southeastern sky.
Solsrud and I lowered the ventilated shell covers over our chairs. Trix settled under a burlap tarp.
The birds made a big loop overhead, dropping elevation, but then decided a field to the west looked more appealing.
Solsrud grunted at Trix to stay put. The next group of birds split in half, with two birds setting wings and flying 25 yards overhead. Our shotguns sounded, and Trix made the retrieves.
As the sun rose, the fog burned off and left us under a bluebird sky. The geese continued to fly, but group after group followed the initial flock of the day into a field a half-mile to the west.
Once the geese have a live flock in a field, stiff imitations — even when accompanied by skilled calling and a lively flag — have a tough time pulling in birds.
We were content to watch the show, though. We each had a Christmas goose. And despite their present-day commonness, it's always a treat to hear and see hundreds of Canada geese work the sky.

Barca coach vows quick return from cancer surgery
Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova faced cancer surgery Thursday and six weeks on the sidelines but vowed to return soon to the Spanish league leaders.
"I won't be away for a while but I will be back soon," Barcelona sports newspaper Mundo Deportivo quoted Vilanova as telling his players after doctors told him he needed surgery for cancer that has returned to his salivary gland.
Vilanova, 44, has led Barcelona to their best league start ever but the club said he will be in hospital for four days and then need up to six weeks of chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
"We will have to try to go on as normally as possible but there will not be total normality because Tito is the coach and now for a few weeks he will not be there," the club's president Sandro Rosell said late Wednesday.
But he insisted: "Tito is very strong and we are convinced he will come back to us soon."
The news came at a dramatic moment for Barca, flying nine points high at the top of La Liga while their fierce rivals and title holders Real Madrid are suffering a malaise.
Jose Mourinho's Real are 13 points adrift in third place and rattled by reports of internal squabbles. Atletico Madrid are in second place, nine points behind Barcelona.
Barca's sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta said assistant coach Jordi Roura would stand in for the time being, acting as coach when the side travels to Valladolid for Saturday's league game.
Barcelona gave no indication Thursday of when the surgery would take place and when it would next give details of Vilanova's progress.
Messages of support poured in from sporting stars and even occupied the front pages of the fiercely partisan Madrid sports press.
"We're all with Tito," said Marca, the leading pro-Real daily.
Zubizarreta rejected speculation that Barcelona's previous coach Pep Guardiola who left last season would step back in.
"Tito is the coach and continues to be the coach. Jordi Roura will be in the dugout at Valladolid but the trainer is Tito," he told a news conference.
"What we have to do is pick ourselves up and keep on working."
Real Madrid joined various sporting figures in Spain and abroad in wishing Vilanova well.
"Tito, everyone is behind you to beat this — the strength of football and people. It's impossible you will lose this match," Real skipper and Spain international keeper Iker Casillas wrote on his Facebook page.
Vilanova has been Barca manager since the departure of his long-time comrade-in-arms Guardiola in April.
Vilanova underwent an operation to remove a tumour on his parotid gland — the largest of the salivary glands — on November 22, 2011 and was back at work as Guardiola's deputy just two weeks later.
One of the world's most successful football teams, Barca are riding high largely thanks to Argentine hitman Lionel Messi, who has taken his goal tally for the calendar year to a record-breaking 90.
Vilanova played only briefly as a professional in Spain's top flight, notably with Celta Vigo, before turning to coaching at the end of his career and finding his way back to the club of his youth.

Bates College turned six Hamilton College turnovers into 21 points and the Bobcats went on to a 47-33 NESCAC win in a shootout at Bates' Garcelon Field on Nov. 10.
The Bobcats (5-3 overall, 5-3 NESCAC) won their final three games and posted their first winning season since 1981. Bates, which entered the afternoon ranked as one of the top teams in NCAA Division III in turnover margin, enjoyed a plus-four advantage in that department against Hamilton.
The Continentals (1-7, 1-7) dropped their final four games of 2012. Hamilton had the ball for more than 35 minutes, was 8 of 15 on third-down conversions and a perfect 2-for-2 on fourth down, but the Continentals continually hurt themselves with the miscues. Four turnovers were committed in the second half and another came at the end of the second quarter.
The teams combined for 80 points, 48 first downs and 927 yards of offense. It was the highest-scoring game in the 35 meetings all-time between the programs.
Gilbert Brown '15 returned an interception 101 yards for a score in the fourth quarter and was credited with a game-high 12 tackles for the Bobcats. Andrew Kukesh '14 recorded eight solo stops, including three for a loss, forced a fumble and had an interception. John Durkin '15 and Matt Gaither '13 forced one fumble apiece and Mike Kelleher '15 recovered a fumble and picked off a pass.
Bates racked up 355 yards on the ground with its triple-option attack. Teddy Downs '13, Trevor Smith '13, Shawn Doherty '14 and Mac Jackson '15 all ran for one touchdown. Smith was 7 of 13 passing for 81 yards, including 42 yards to Doherty for a touchdown in the second quarter. Smith also gained 50 yards on the ground. Patrick George '13 ran for a game-high 144 yards on just 15 carries (9.6 yards per rush). Charlie Donahue '14 connected on two field goals and made 3 of 4 extra-point attempts.
James Stanell '14 led Hamilton's offense with 133 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries. Stanell recorded his third straight 100-yard game and fourth this year. He also caught a 63-yard pass for a third touchdown early in the third quarter, and finished with 205 all-purpose yards. Stanell also lost three fumbles.
Jordan Eck '13 threw for a career-best 329 yards on 27 of 42 passing with three touchdowns and three interceptions. Joe Jensen '15 hauled in a touchdown catch for the fifth straight game and ended the year with six. Jensen had five receptions for 71 yards. Garrett Hoy '13 posted six catches for 69 yards and a touchdown in his final game, Simon Jia '16 added six receptions for 47 yards and Pat Donadio '15 chipped in five for 65 yards.
Austin Fisher '15 paced the Continentals' defense with a career-high 10 stops. Mike MacDonald '13 recovered a fumble and made five tackles. MacDonald finished his Hamilton career with 301 tackles, and is one of just two players to have 300 or more in their career for the Continentals. Nick Kaleikini '13 broke up two passes in his last game and Nick Ufkes '15 recovered a muffed punt by the Bobcats in the first quarter.
Donahue gave Bates a 3-0 lead with a 28-yard field goal with 10:45 left in the first quarter. Donahue finished the year a perfect 9-for-9 on field goal attempts. Stanell scored from 6 yards out and Hoy added the PAT with 7:47 remaining in the first for Hamilton's only lead of the day at 7-3. The Continentals tried to extend their lead late in the quarter, but lost a fumble at the Bobcats' 4-yard line and Bates recovered in the end zone for a touchback.
The Bobcats scored all 16 points in the second quarter to take the lead for good. Smith plunged in from the 3 on the first play of the quarter, Donahue nailed a 34-yard field goal with 7:00 left and Smith and Doherty hooked up for a 42-yard TD with 2:04 remaining. Smith's attempt to pass for the two-point conversion failed, and Bates led 19-7 at the break.
Stanell made the score 19-13 on his 63-yard TD reception with 10:01 left in the third quarter. The extra point was blocked. The Bobcats responded with a pair of touchdowns. Jackson scored from 21 yards out with 7:43 remaining in the third and Downs ran it in from the 18 less than two minutes later. Smith ran for the two points after Downs' TD to give Bates a 34-13 cushion.
Hamilton wasn't finished yet. Eck found Jensen for a 40-yard touchdown grab that made it 34-19 with 12:31 left. It seemed the Continentals would chisel away more at the Bobcats' lead when they faced third-and-goal at the 1 on their next drive. But Brown intercepted an Eck pass in the end zone and returned it for a touchdown that sealed Hamilton's fate with 6:02 remaining.
Hoy caught a 21-yard TD pass from Eck, Doherty scampered into the end zone from 27 yards out for Bates and Stanell rounded out the scoring late in the fourth with a 9-yard TD run. Patrick Donahoe '16 kicked a pair of extra points in the fourth quarter for the Continentals.
Hamilton falls at Bates in season finale
|Hamilton (1-7)
|Bates (5-3)
Bates College turned six Hamilton College turnovers into 21 points and the Bobcats went on to a 47-33 NESCAC win in a shootout at Bates' Garcelon Field on Nov. 10.

LITTLE ROCK � The "Never Forgotten: Arkansas Takes Action" missing persons initiative will be Saturday, Sept. 14, at the Clear Channel Metroplex, 10800 Col. Glenn Road, in Little Rock. The event is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
LITTLE ROCK � The �Never Forgotten: Arkansas Takes Action� missing persons initiative will be Saturday, Sept. 14, at the Clear Channel Metroplex, 10800 Col. Glenn Road, in Little Rock. The event is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel will join with state and federal law enforcement agencies next month for the state�s second annual event intended to help Arkansans locate their missing family members and loved ones.
�There are more than 450 active missing persons cases in Arkansas, and it is our goal to help to complete those cases and bring closure to the hundreds of Arkansans who do not know the whereabouts of their loved ones,� McDaniel said. �I appreciate the hard work of our law enforcement partners and their commitment to assisting the families of the missing.�
Representatives from the state Crime Lab, State Police Criminal Investigations Division, the FBI and the National Unidentified and Missing Persons System will be available to assist families as part of the missing persons initiative.
McDaniel encouraged families and loved ones of the missing to attend on Sept. 14 and bring with them as much information as possible about their missing loved ones, such as police reports, photographs and dental records. Forensic analysts will be at the event to take DNA samples.
Every service offered is free of charge.
As a result of last year�s missing persons initiative, the remains of a Crittenden County man missing for more than a decade were positively identified. Relatives of the late Tommy Lee Newingham of Earle provided DNA samples a year ago. The samples were placed in a national DNA database, and a positive match was made with remains that had been located in Memphis in 2011. McDaniel said that result demonstrates the importance of the Sept. 14 event and the need to continue efforts to locate missing persons.
Nationwide, there are nearly 90,000 active missing persons cases.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Sajecha from Great fit I'm 5'2 and I got size 27 the 28 would've probably fit a little more loose but I like the 27 fit best. The only issue and the biggest issue is that the color in the jeans bleeds on to your hands and other clothing. Do not wear it with a white blouse. The fit is great, I got it on sale so I'm not too mad about the color but yes dissapointed. The color is so pretty and dark. Very good material it is a little stretchy so if you have a derriere I suggest stay true to your size. I don't recommend washing with any other garment dry clean preferred.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Xtinaaa from Disappointed Disappointed!!!!! Ordered the larger size I always order (27) and couldn't get them near buttoning. I'm returning for 2 sizes up and Hoping that works. I feel like bebe has changed a lot of their cuts/sizing and they no longer fit me well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FashionistaSista from Love the fit and very sexy! At first glance they look like they will not fit, but as soon as you put them on, whala! They fit like a glove. Sleek and sexy! I love the high waist. Covers and contours my figure just right and I love the stretchy material woven into them. I recommend these jeans if you want sexy and sassy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Letta from Best Jeans Ever! These jeans fit me like a glove!!!! Need more washes so I can buy more!

Rated 4 out of 5 by SeaKitty from Truly high waist! These jeans feel well-made and durable. They're stretchy and comfy (could be a little less stretchy but they don't really bag) and flattering. Plus, they actually DO go up to my natural waist, unlike most other "high waist" jeans with any style. However, I don't know whose ankles they think these jeans will stop at.. probably only a leggy model's. I am 5'2" and usually "ankle length" means they will be just the right length for me, but I have to double cuff these. I will pay the $15 to have them hemmed but unfortunately they won't be fitted at the ankle once I do that. Oh well! Still love these jeans. They seem to run slightly large, so maybe buy your usual size and a size down just in case.
Date published: 2014-03-19
Rated 4 out of 5 by AmbitiousBEBE21 from great wash I ordered these a few months ago, I would recommend ordering a size smaller because the waist does stretch out. These jeans are perfect for the office casual, with a tucked in tank and a blazer or sweater. once washed the stretch comes back and color doesn't fade.

New Terminology:
Generation Extended/Plus: A category of IS equipped with higher generation technology. The official use of the term only begin after Raphael Revised is introduced. Other IS included under here is obviously Byakushiki
Main character's name is something common, Alfred. He dislike socializing because he is lazy and think that his time is better off watching blank computer screen. Also because he is nice guy (though not that nice since he does hold grudge)...who is rather passive and non-confrontational which is kind of subverted when he is controlling a Plush toy....who is cynical and tend to tempt fate a lot.
He work for a company called New Edge Aspiring Research (New Edge (what people usually refer them by...)
The following below are their creation which only the company has the knowledge and technical specialty to make and install them on to the IS (without them being rejected by the IS core):
Self-optimizing Equalizer Package, Optimizer: Pilot's combat data are stored inside the Equalizer which are retrieved when the said pilot are using the Equalizer, when the data is retrieved, the Equalizer would optimized itself to suit the pilot. Since it is an equalizer, it can be removed and place in another IS core, allowing similar 1st Shift performance regardless of the core being use.
Weakness is obvious: One-off ability is impossible if you keep changing cores and not allowing the IS core to gain enough experiences with the pilot.
Ex-Alt (Extended Alternative)/Exalt package is technically Optimizer taken to logical extreme. This category of IS took an alternative path to 4th Gen. ExAlt equalizer package function similar to 4th gen's fold-out however, since the technology is not integrated into the IS frame itself, it means that Equalizer take up BUS Slot and it requires unit be a little more specialized due to all BUS slot being used up and unable to take in anymore equalizer.
Yamato Nadeshiko/ YN: A defensive technology generate a special wave frequency which neutralize Barrier Void ability, not only that, it also force Barrier Void technology to continue to consume energy from the IS so long as Barrier Void ability remain active. Named Yamato Nadeshiko out sheer irony, the YN stands for Yukihira Neutralizer as it is deigned specifically to counter Japan's Yukihira(barrier void) technology, rendering Japanese IS less of a threat and their Yukihira into dead weight. Why "less of a threat" rather than "not a threat" completely? Because a blunt sword can still kill people..... It only just take longer time to do so.
any idea for a funny manly name for that overly compensated Man-machine?
Also should I make it into an IS or should I just leave it as a machine created by the Male pilot out of scrap metal (to increase testosterone level by 50)?
Edit: I wonder how many people would get the joke on the Company's name.

Oddly enough, it's the most kind of fascinating weapon.
Especially gravity projection type, however that makes sense (gravity beam WUT???)
I still however, latched to the idea of 'black hole' bullet (which most definitely not natural, but some kind of overloaded gravity generator)

I think gravity was first described by using cloth and rock.
Imagine reality as multiple cloths. Each plane, each axis is one piece. Now drop a rock on that cloth, it kind of warps toward the rock right? When you have a mass great enough, all these spatial fabrics also warps towards the mass. That's gravity.
I can imagine something as heavy as that... can you?

You mean the space-time curve theorem
I was talking the practical application... though inversion of AIC sound really scary, and all too plausible in I.S. verse. While I.S. and their pilot will not be affected much due to it's PIC rebelling, imagine that poor APC caught in the radius

ever seen what happens when you pressurize the inside of an APC? >: )
That aside, the practical uses are actually plenty, if not inefficient and can probably be replaced with an equally effective measure with less overkill and much less chances of screwing yourself over.

Hi everyone! I'm a new Army wife and my family and I are about to PCS (hope that's the correct acronym..) to Ft. Lewis, WA in November.
My question is how 'out' should I be around other military families. My husband is not an officer, and I don't know if professed atheism will affect his career. I am out in the sense that I do not hide my atheism to anyone, but on the same note, I don't go around preaching about it.
Would it be safer to avoid the religion topic and not display my atheist-related lierature in plain view?
Views: 217
MAAF has support for you. I have a few Pratts, but not you specifically. I hope you'll join up and follow the other advise for how to be 'out'.
This is the time to be out. You have to understand that there is a predominantly Christian culture in the military and a possibility of prejudice, but you do have support. The FAQ page above has lots of other information, and you can always contact MAAF directly. There's a good community at JBLM but no one has had the time to lead a group. Maybe you're the first.
I was Jewish, when I entered active duty as a Major, green as could be regarding internal politicsand no mentor anywhere. A year later, I was out, having been set up from the start by my dominionist christian commander. He used a little known rule that says, if you don't fulfill your job requirement, you can be ousted within the first year of duty. He had the chain of command block me from fulfilling and then oust me based on not fulfilling, while telling me I should be grateful for receiving an honorable discharge, when I'd done nothing dishonorable. (This cost me every veteran's benefit, including the GI Bill, by the way.)
Christmas is coming. Expect to be approached to volunteer and participate in programs using it for leverage to proselytize. Consider my brother's tactic, when "No, thank you" is a bad answer: Say yes, then don't go, and claim you had a stomach flu. I hate lying, but had I learned to do it, it might have saved my career. I was "drafted" as the token Jew, then ousted right after doing the part they wrote for me for their Christmas programs. How convenient. Other Jews stayed anonymous as possible, and it was too late, when I understood how real their concerns were.
Lay low until you get to know your surroundings and your husband has at least one or two good annual reviews on record. Despite the reality of the situation, it can be virtually impossible to prove religious discrimination, and even when you think you can, try finding a lawyer to represent you in that way. Mine practiced only military law, had decades of experience, and wouldn't touch the religious discrimination basis of my case. If you are targeted, reach out to MAAF, MRFF, and others. I only wish MRFF had existed, when I needed it.
One other point: The more atheists who come out and survive in the military, the better. That's a given. If you can patiently take time to learn how, when, and where to do this, to gather allies and political strength first, it will likely be safer. Meanwhile, being in allows you and your husband to document institutionalized, chain of command religious improprieties and report them. MRFF uses such reports to force all three branches of military and the DoD, itself, to obey the first amendment. You should see their latest: http://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/.
Thank you for the all the suggesstions! I already noted that there were no MAAF groups at Lewis and I do have the time and the willpower to put something like that together, but I think I will lie low and test out the scenery for a bit. Also, I will discuss with my husband how he feels about it too. I've already heard about a commanding officer made my husband miserable just because he didn't like him. And that had nothing to do with religion. This all reminds me of the beginning of full metal jacket where the drill instructer says, 'You Goddamn communist heathen, you had best sound off that you love the Virgin Mary, or I'm gonna stomp your guts out!' lol

Triton V10 vs Ford Power Stroke Diesel
When selecting a full size truck from Ford, there are numerous options to choose from; many potential customers find themselves comparing the Triton V10 vs. the Ford Power Stroke Diesel, or the Ford PSD, as it is more commonly known. These two engines are both capable of powering large trucks which need to complete a wide range of tasks while performing in all types of conditions. While they are both excellent choices for a large scale pickup truck, there are merits and disadvantages to each of them. Read on for a brief comparison of the two.
Pros and Cons of the Triton V10
In terms of resale value, the V10 cannot match the value of the PSD. This is because the PSD is priced higher than the V10 initially. Additionally, the PSD tends to not depreciate as much over time, meaning that you'll be able to sell it for closer to the amount of money that you paid for it initially.
The maximum power on a V10 with a 3-valve is only 362 horses, but a supercharger can be installed to bring it much higher, upwards of 750 horsepower in some cases. While there are concerns about the longevity of the vehicle, and it's true that it tends to not last as long as the PSD does, there are still many occasions in which a V10 will last comfortably for about 500,000 miles or more.
In comparison with a PSD, many owners of the V10 are divided over the use of spark plugs. Because there aren't spark plugs in the PSD, you'll never have to change them. However, many people enjoy having spark plugs in the V10 and would not like to give them up for another kind of vehicle.
Pros and Cons of the Ford PSD
Although the PSD costs more upfront than the V10 does, there are a number of benefits that you'll receive immediately upon purchasing it. For instance, the vehicle comes standard with a greater amount of torque capability than the V10. The fuel economy of the PSD, while not close to the economy of smaller vehicles, is nonetheless more competitive and higher than that of the V10. There is also the benefit of longevity, with many PSD vehicles lasting for close to 1 million miles. There is also the benefit of not having spark plugs to change.
Many people who are environmentally conscious are concerned about the diesel fuel used by the Ford PSD. This fuel is not only more expensive but also more damaging to the environment than the standard fuel used in a V10 or another large pickup truck. However, the 6.4 liter PSD has a diesel particulate filter, a DPF, and dual EGR coolers, which trap soot and particulates from the exhaust and take away most of the black smoke that other diesel engines cough out.
Choosing the right vehicle for you depends on a number of factors, including your budget and the ways in which you intend to use the vehicle. But one things for certain, you can't go wrong with a either of these impressive engines.

The slate of six Florida Cup Day stakes for registered Florida-breds includes three on dirt and three on the turf course, with three races for 3-year-olds and three for horses 4-and-up. Each race offers purse money of $75,000. Tampa Bay Downs will distribute more than $500,000 in purses over the 12-race card.
The quality field includes 2011 Turf Classic winner Slews Answer, from the barn of trainer Graham Motion. The 5-year-old gelding, owned by Live Oak Plantation, finished second in the Sunshine Millions Turf at Gulfstream Park in his most recent start Jan. 28. Tampa Bay Downs leading jockey Leandro Goncalves has the riding assignment.
It's Me Mom, a 4-year-old filly who won the Minaret Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs on Dec. 31 and the Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Sprint at Gulfstream on Jan. 28 by a combined 15 lengths, will take on eight males in the $75,000 Hilton Garden Inn Sprint at six furlongs. It is the ninth race.
The field includes four other stakes winners, including the Grade II-placed Little Drama, a 4-year-old gelding from the barn of David Fawkes. It's Me Mom has gained a wide following among Tampa Bay Downs fans and looks to improve on her record of nine victories from 15 starts for breeder-owners Thomas and Jean Bosch of Holiday, Fla.
The Florida Cup festivities begin with the third race on the card, the $75,000 First Dude Turf Distaff for older fillies and mares at a mile-and-a-sixteenth on the grass. The favorite's role could go to Unbridled Humor, a Graham Motion trainee who finished third in the Grade III Hillsborough Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs on March 10.
The fifth race on the card, the $75,000 Ocala Breeders' Sales Sophomore Stakes, will be contested at seven furlongs. Grade II-placed Tarpy's Goal, trained by Dale Romans, and stakes winners Hello Prince from the barn of Daniel Pita and Midnight Serenade from the barn of Stephen DiMauro highlight the eight-horse field.
The $75,000 Dayton Andrews Dodge Sophomore Turf Stakes for 3-year-olds at a mile-and-a-sixteenth on the grass, which will be the sixth race, brings together 10 state-bred colts and geldings.
Inaugural Stakes winner Angelofdistinction and Ocala Breeders' Sales Championship winner Crafty Unicorn face a stiff challenge from Star Channel, a Todd Pletcher-trained son of English Channel who has won twice on the Gulfstream Park turf course.
The seventh race is the $75,000 Stonehedge Farm South Sophomore Fillies Stakes at seven furlongs on the main track. Pletcher is represented by Polish Tune, but the bettors may award the favorite's role to Citizen Advocate, whose four career victories include stakes at Calder, Presque Isle Downs and Delta Downs. She is trained by David Vivian.
Post time for the first race is 12:25 p.m.
Veteran jockey Scott Spieth moved closer to a career milestone Wednesday at Tampa Bay Downs, winning three of the first four races on the card to climb to 3,998 victories.
The 45-year-old Michigan native – who is 26th among active jockeys in victories – won the first race, a five-furlong maiden claiming event, on 3-1 shot King Kafwain by a neck from favorite Isolation Road. King Kafwain is a 4-year-old gelding owned by Thomas Gibbs and trained by Frances Gogas.
Spieth teamed with 3-year-old gelding Ten Past Ten to win the third race, a seven-furlong claiming affair. The 7-10 favorite is owned by Gilbert G. Campbell and trained by Kathleen O'Connell. The winner's time of 1:22.37 was .24 seconds off the track record. Trainer Jamie Ness claimed Ten Past Ten for $25,000 for owner Midwest Thoroughbreds, Inc.
In the fourth race, a maiden claiming race at a mile-and-40-yards, Spieth rode favorite Rubadub Chub to a 7 ½-length victory for owner Blaine Bennetch and trainer Rory Barron. Spieth finished second in the eighth race on Queen of England to Boldy and jockey Ronnie Allen, Jr.
Spieth is named on seven horses on Friday's 11-race card. He is tied for eighth in wins at the current meeting with Huber Villa-Gomez with 27.
After a slow start in his return to Tampa Bay Downs from south Florida last month, four-time Tampa Bay Downs leading jockey Daniel Centeno has been on fire.
Centeno has won at a 16.5-percent clip since breaking the ice March 9 on 5-year-old gelding Dark Vision for owner-trainer Kathleen O'Connell. He won four races on March 24 and again on April 1, and his victory Sunday on 6-year-old gelding Tapis Magique gave trainer Jamie Ness a meet record of 69 victories.
Centeno – who set the Tampa Bay Downs single-season record of 144 victories during the 2007-08 meeting – is a clear-cut choice as the track's Hilton Garden Inn Jockey of the Month. He plans to go to Delaware Park after the current meeting with his current agent, retired jockey Herson Sanchez.
"Riding at Gulfstream was a great experience," said the Venezuelan rider, who has 1,560 career victories in the United States. "Every rider has a goal of being at a track like that and riding with the big guys.
"But when you're not making much money, it's hard. I thought, you know what? Let's go with Herson and ride the next two months where we're going to make money and it's comfortable.
"I love Tampa, that's the main thing," said Centeno, who lives here with his fiancée, Ashley George, and their 3 ½-year-old daughter Jazmyn. "I'm happy to be back here. I love the racetrack, and I love the people."
Centeno won 13 races at Gulfstream. He was on track to a possible fifth consecutive Tampa Bay Downs riding title last season when he broke his pelvis, dislocated his left shoulder and fractured his right foot in a spill that sidelined him almost three months. He has 16 victories at the current meeting.
Nicanor, the 6-year-old full brother to 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro owned by the Lael Stables of Roy and Gretchen Jackson, is entered on opening day at Keeneland on Friday in the eighth race, an allowance optional claiming event worth $65,000. The distance is about seven furlongs on the synthetic all-weather track.
Nicanor – who last raced May 12 at Belmont Park in the Island Sun Stakes, finishing fourth – has been working out regularly under trainer Leigh Delacour at Tampa Bay Downs in preparation for his 2012 debut. His last workout here was a four-furlong breeze Friday in 48 4/5 seconds. Rajiv Maragh has the riding assignment.
Also at Keeneland on Friday, the Thomas Proctor-trained 3-year-old gelding Monastic is the 5-2 morning-line favorite for the Grade III, $100,000 Transylvania Stakes for 3-year-olds at a mile-and-a-sixteenth on the turf.
Monastic, who will be ridden by Julien Leparoux, most recently competed March 10 at Tampa Bay Downs, finishing third in a one-mile turf allowance. Also entered is the Graham Motion-trained State of Play, who finished seventh in the Grade III Sam F. Davis Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs before rebounding with a victory last month in the John Battaglia Memorial Stakes at Turfway Park.

Michael Vick: 'My Kids Deserve a Puppy' [POLL/VIDEO]
Michael Vick appeared on Piers Morgan last night, expressed that he wants to get a puppy for his kids. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback was banned from owning any dog for at least three years, as terms of his sentencing for the dog fighting charges. Vick, who served almost two years in federal prison for alleged dog fighting, said:
"I can't take that dream away from them. That's selfish on my behalf."
With all that has happened with Vick, and though he has paid his debt to society, should he be allowed to buy a dog for his kids?

"This award is for an innovative idea that can be developed into a product (e.g. app, device, diagnostic test)."
We're obviously not working in this area to win awards, but a little recognition now and again is no bad thing. The judges agreed that this is innovative as it is not only environmentally friendly and much cheaper than the plastic version, but innovative in how we are using it to raise awareness about the importance of upper limb function within the #ThinkHand campaign.
We're in the process of setting up a distribution service so people can order their own test and we will let you know as soon as this is up and running.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Biogen for funding the project, to Angelika Bauer and her team at ECTRIMS and MS Life and also The Agency of Design for their magnificent manufacturing skills.
