Final: Red Sox 4, Yankees 3
Game over: Jacoby Ellsbury's walk-off single off Dave Robertson scored Pedro Ciriaco with the winning run. It was the third walk-off of the season for the Red Sox. Sox players poured out of the dugout as if they'd won the World Series. The game was played in 3:11 before 37,437.
Top 9th: Yankees 3, Red Sox 3 Andrew Bailey came on. He retired Derek Jeter with a fly to right, but the Sox may have revived Nick Swisher who lined a single to right, his second hit of the game after snapping an 0 for 28 in the first inning. But Bailey bore down with an assist by Ryan Lavarnway who made a great throw to nail pinch-runner Edwardo Nunez trying to steal (nice tag by Dustin Pedroia also). Bailey then struck out A-Rod.
Bottom 8th: Yankees 3, Red Sox 3 Loney, Ross and Lavarnway strikeout against Dave Robertson.
Top 8th: Yankees 3, Red Sox 3 Nice inning for lefty Craig Breslow as Yankees are down without a fuss.
Bottom 7th: Yankees 3, Red Sox 3 Bases loaded one out, no runs. Daniel Nava and Dustin Pedroia couldn't get it done with sacks full. Nava hit into a fielder's chopice to first base and the run was cut down at the plate. And Pedroia popped up against Joba Chamberlain.
Top 7th: Yankees 3, Red Sox 3 Junichi Tazawa provides the most optimism from relievers going into next season. He's been terrific and he retired the Yankees again.
Bottom 6th: Yankees 3, Red Sox 3 Dustin Pedroia lined one just over the Green Monster to tie it up.
Top 6th: Yankees 3, Red Sox 2 It just felt as if it was a matter of time before Lester's wildness caught up to him. He issued his seventh walk to open the sixth to Curtis Garnderson and then a single to Andruw Jones. After a successful sacrifice bunt by Jayson Nix, Jeter got jammed but punched a ground-rule double down the line in right that kicked into the stands. Lester was out after 102 pitches. Junichi Tazawa then did a nice job keeping things where they were, striking out Nick Swisher and Alex Rodriguez.
Bottom 5th: Red Sox 2, Yankees 1 Scott Podsednik has looked awful in three at-bats – two pop ups and a strikeout. The Sox have allowed Kuroda to settle in.
Top 5th: Red Sox 2, Yankees 1 Lester struck out the side and also allowed a double to Russell Martin. Lester also broke Bruce Hurst's franchise strikeout record for a lefty.
Bottom 4th: Red Sox 2, Yankees 1 Kuroda mows down Sox. Kuroda has had a heck of a year for the Yankees and their most consistent pitcher. Interesting, he'll pitch at 38 years old next season. Wonder if anyone will bite on a multi-year deal.
Top 4th: Red Sox 2, Yankees 1 Lester sharp again as he gets out of fourth without losign the lead.
Bottom 3rd: Red Sox 2, Yankees 1 Pedro Ciriaco doubled and scored on Jacoby Ellsbury's single up the middle. After Ellsbury stole second, Pedroia singled him to give Boston the lead.
Top 3rd: Yankees 1, Red Sox 0 The Yankees had a chance to get a big inning going when Alex Rodriguez and Robin Cano drew walks from Jon Lester to open the inning. But the Yankees looked more like the Red Sox, and got nothing to show for it, as Lester struck out Martina nd Pearce and got Granderson to ground out to first base.
Bottom 2nd: Yankees 1, Red Sox 0 There are actually a good number of fans here. They're very quiet, but they're here. The Sox went down in order. No surprise.
Top 2nd: Yankees 1, Red Sox 0 The Yankees waste a one-out double by No. 9 hitter Jayson Nix as Lester pitches out of a jam.
Bottom 1st: Yankees 1, Red Sox 0 The Sox get more laughable by the minute. Jacoby Ellsbury doubled down the right field line and Scott Podsednik attempts a bunt? Really? First inning? He popped it out to Russell Martin. After Dustin Pedroia's pop up fell into short left for a hit, the slow-footed James Loney knocked into a double-play to end the inning and allow Hiroki Kuroda to skate free.
Top 1st: Yankees 1, Red Sox 0 Staff ace Jon Lester was touched for a run when he walked Derek Jeter to open the game and then allowed a double to Nick Swisher, who broke an 0-for-28. Alex Rodriguez grounded out to third, but Robinson Cano's grounder to first allowed Jeter to score the first Yankee run. After Russell Martin and Steve Pearce walked to reload the bases, Curtis Granderson fouled out to James Loney to get Lester out of further peril.
Pregame :Nice 9-11 tribute to open the evening here. Certainly the normal Red Sox-Yankee buzz is nowhere to be found. Fans are trickling in, but half the seats are not occupied at this point.

A background check took only a matter of minutes to complete, Mark Kelly said in the Facebook post, adding that it's scary to think people can buy similar guns without background checks at gun shows or on the Internet.
It didn't take long for gun-rights supporters to accuse Kelly of being a hypocrite for buying an AR-15-style rifle and a 45.-caliber handgun. Many of the Facebook comments focused on his motivations and the rules for purchasing such guns.
Kelly and Giffords started a gun control advocacy group, Americans for Responsible Solutions, amid the wave of recent mass shootings. They have been touring the country in recent months in support of expanded background checks for gun purchases.
Kelly bought the guns at a Tucson shop the day before he appeared with his wife at the supermarket where she was wounded during a shooting rampage that left six dead and 12 others wounded two years ago.
The public event last week was the first time the survivors had come together since the January 2011 shooting.
Giffords resigned from Congress last year as she continues to recover from her injuries.
The AR-15 is among 157 military-style weapons that would be banned under a bill pending before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. Kelly, a former astronaut, said he intends to eventually hand in the rifle to Tucson police.
Doug MacKinlay is the owner of Diamondback Police Supply, the shop where Kelly bought the guns. He said Kelly bought the rifle on March 5 but couldn't immediately take possession of it because the shop had bought it from a customer. As a result, the store is required by a Tucson ordinance to hold the gun for 20 days to give the city enough time to make sure the weapon wasn't used in a crime, MacKinlay said.
MacKinlay said Kelly never revealed to the store's staff why he was buying the guns and added that it would be wrong to refuse to sell a gun to someone because of their personal views.
"He is a U.S. citizen, an Arizona citizen and expressing his Second Amendment right to purchase and own a firearm," MacKinlay said.
Todd Rathner, a lobbyist for the National Rifle Association's affiliate in Arizona and a national NRA board member, questioned the point that Kelly was trying to make in buying the guns, saying a model citizen such as Kelly should be able to buy a gun relatively quickly. He also noted that such a purchase could have been a good investment as the value of those types of weapon soars amid heightened demand from gun owners.
"If you believe him, it's a cheap publicity stunt," Rathner said. "If you don't, then he was speculating on the value of the rifle because he knew the prices would be inflated."
The advocacy group started by Giffords and Kelly had no immediate comment Tuesday on Kelly's gun buys.
But the group released a statement from Kelly on the Senate Judiciary Committee's approval Tuesday of a proposal to expand federal firearms background checks to nearly all gun purchases. Kelly said the 10-8 vote was a huge step in keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and mentally ill people. Kelly's statement didn't address the controversy over his own gun buys.
Kelly, a former astronaut who plans to keep the handgun, told CNN on Monday that it was important for him to have firsthand information on the ease of buying guns such as the AR-15 and that he looks forward to buying a firearm at a gun show in the future. Kelly and Giffords have long been supporters of gun rights and owned handguns themselves.

Veteran UH Hilo educator to head national terrorism think tank at USCUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Hilo
Director Media Relations
Dr. Stephen C. Hora has been named director of the Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events (CREATE) at the University of Southern California (USC), effective August 16, 2009.
Hora has served as a professor of management science and statistics at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo since 1985. He was also interim vice chancellor for Academic Affairs from 2005 to 2007 and interim dean for the College of Arts and Sciences from 2003 to 2004. His appointment returns him to his alma mater where he earned both his Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) and Bachelor of Science (BS) in general management.
CREATE was established in 2004 by the Department of Homeland Security and is the nation's first Center of Excellence supporting research in response to the threat of terrorism to be based at a university. The center is tasked with developing predictive models to gauge how and where terrorist events might occur, calculating their economic consequences and identifying the nation's vulnerabilities. Hora said he looks forward to his new responsibilities with mixed emotions.
"I hate to leave lovely Hilo but this position provides an opportunity to contribute on a national level in an area of great importance," Hora stated. "My plans are to return here at some point in the future."
Hora, who has authored more than 80 published articles, book reviews and invited papers, has led several CREATE studies. His most recent work includes a current two-year grant researching Expert Judgment Elicitation Methods. As director, Hora will head a national research team that has produced over 250 publications and reports on biological threats, border and port security, and maintains an active conference schedule.
"Steve's leadership and expertise has been a tremendous benefit to UH Hilo that will serve him well in directing the important work being done at the Center," said Chancellor Rose Tseng. "Although we're sorry to see him go, we wish him all the best in this new endeavor."

First off - Mods if this is in the wrong place then please can you move to the right forum, thanks!
Currently I am an AU on one of my DHs cards (Chase) which has been open for 2 years. Although it has 40% Utl it has no late payments and that is still older than my accounts (only 1 year as my oldest own card)
My scores have improved a lot and are better than my husbands at this point (adding this AU on chase improved my scores by about 10 points) - he has another older account with Cap One which is 8 years old, currently his balance on it is $1200 with a $2000 limit and it has one late from Sep 2007 (which I have debated as incorrect with Cap one as I made a payment on the account in Oct before the cut off date).
With this high utl and (possibly) a late is it still an idea to add me to the card just to increase the age of my accounts - it's currently a negative when i pull my fico reports.
Or should I wait until I can pay that balance down to a $200 and then add me as an AU?
haulingthescoreup wrote:
I would wait until the balance is under control AND the late is gone.
Do you have any lates of your own? I would never, ever willingly add another one to my own collection (all incurred by me.)
Nope, none of my own.
I am really hoping that I can get that late deleted (would help my husband a lot)
Other than that late and the BofA ones (which I am never going to get rid of until after I have paid off the remaining $4000 left on that account) I have managed to get his other 12 lates taken off based on GW.
I have two small balances of his that I want to pay down first (one is the Chase balance) which total less than $1000 to get him down to more cards with a 0 balance and then I plan on paying that one off next so that his utl is better anyway. I guess I can wait the couple of months it would take for me to do that.
( i really want those extra 6 and 9 points to get my two scores up to 700 )
Well I have the following cards of my own:
Cap One $1500 limit, $100 balance
Lane Bryant $300 limit, $0 balance
Macys $1000 limit (that was $100 a month ago - yay - tho not reporting new limit yet), $0 balance
(just closed my Orchard bank card which was a secured $250 limit with $0 balance and will be getting a check in the next 60 days sometime for the $250... it's a ridiculous length of time to have to wait for the check)
Then the Chase card $1020 limit, $400 balance.
So currently credit available is $ $3820 with $500 balance (13%)
I am getting a refund check from NY State for taxes I paid whilst living there for $250 and the check back from Orchard for $250 - whenever those come in the plan is to pay off everything but $10 from the cap one card to bring my utl down to almost 0.
On top of all that tho I have a car loan which reports to all 3 and has a balance of $13,000 - original loan amount was $16000 in October and I have made some extra payments - I stopped those for now tho so I could apply all the money to paying down DHs existing $10000 of credit debt *sigh*
haulingthescoreup wrote:
Getting to 9% or lower will probably help.
Do you know your AAoA in months? Have you hit one year yet? That will help, too.
*Maybe* having a $0 balance on your Cap One, so that only the Chase has a balance, would help, although that might not be much of an issue for young history profiles.
What are the negatives, in order, on your FICO reports (screen two)? --besides short history and seeking credit, lol.
Hurting your score:
Short Account History (oldest account 2years (the chase one) AAoA 1 year)
High Credit Useage (15%)
Recently Been looking for credit (2 inquiries in past year)
Number of missed payments 0
Recent use of credit cards
Moderate number of credit cards (3) - this one I don't understand? I have Macys, Chase, Cap One, Orchard, Lane Bryant - it says it includes store cards, bank cards and closed accounts so I should have 5?
I wonder why it is only saying 3 cards :/
haulingthescoreup wrote:
Your husband's other card is attractive for the age, I understand, but no way do you want to add that high util and late to what you have now. Also, I think Cap One reports AU's, but I'm not sure, so you'd definitely want to know that.
They told me they did (I added him to my Cap one card to decrease his util since I don't really keep a balance on there generally and it won't really effect his AAoA but it hasn't reported yet- this is the first month he has been on there tho)
And yeah, that was really why I wanted to check - I thought that a late may do some damage even if it is over 18 months old.. I will keep trying to get them to take it off and chipping away at that balance and then get myself on there once I have acheived all of those!
Hopefully I should have my balance and his smaller ones paid off this month and then can go to work on the balance on there in June.
Thank you so much hauling for taking the time to reply.

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. -- When MX Sports joined forces with Ricky Carmichael in 2010, it brought forth a strong partnership comprised of MX Sports' thirty plus years of amateur motocross experience at Loretta Lynn Ranch, combined with Ricky's name and longtime sponsors, to create the Ricky Carmichael Amateur Supercross event. To top it off, Daytona International Speedway joined the equation, giving amateur racers the unprecedented opportunity to race the Daytona Supercross By Honda track a day after their favorite pros went to battle. After two successful years of amateur supercross, MX Sports is pleased to announce Monster Energy as the title sponsor of the 3rd Annual Monster Energy Ricky Carmichael Amateur Supercross at Daytona (RCSX), featuring two full days of amateur racing on Sunday, March 11 and Monday, March 12.

As one of the most recognizable names in the industry, Monster Energy's presence can be seen all over the AMA Supercross circuit and throughout the pro paddocks on teams and riders. Monster Energy has been a supporter of Ricky Carmichael's racing career on both two-wheels and four, making the multi-year title sponsorship no surprise to those involved.
"Monster Energy has really supported my racing career over the years and I couldn't be more excited to have them on board for my amateur supercross at Daytona as well," said Ricky Carmichael, 15-Time Champion. "They have such a huge presence in supercross already and to bring the same level of excitement to the amateur program is really a cool thing for these up-and-coming racers."
Monster Energy's partnership with the Ricky Carmichael-endorsed event includes a significant presence by Monster all weekend long, beginning Saturday night with a unique viewing area for amateur racers and their families to enjoy the Daytona Supercross By Honda.
Move-in for amateur racers begins at 5 p.m. Friday and takes place throughout the day Saturday. On Sunday, Amateur practice begins at 7:30 a.m., followed by Rider's Meeting and heat races. If time permits, last chance qualifying sessions (LCQ) will begin on Sunday afternoon. Monday morning kicks off with the remainder of LCQ's and Main Events will follow.
About Daytona Amateur Supercross Championship
The Monster Energy Ricky Carmichael Amateur Supercross at Daytona, produced by MX Sports and held in conjunction with the Daytona AMA Supercross, offers an opportunity for amateurs to compete on some of the most prestigious motorsports grounds in the world - Daytona International Speedway.

(RNN) - Family and friends will be gathering together during the holiday season for dinners, parties, and gift exchanges and many will document the festive season.
To get that perfect memento of the season, here are few things to keep in mind before clicking away.
No matter how complicated or simple your camera is, the best way to learn all the bells and whistles is to sit down and give yourself time with the manual. If you can't find it, go online.
Most major camera retailers offer tutorials and help on their web pages. Canon, Nikon, Kodak offer online tutorials and sell manuals for various camera models in case you've misplaced yours.
Reading the manual also will tell you how best to use the flash, the time/date stamp, and how to turn on red-eye reduction. If you have a basic knowledge of how the camera functions, taking creative photographs will be much easier, and your relatives' cheeks won't get tired from holding the smile while you fiddle with the camera settings.
If you're traveling, Digital Photography School suggests packing extra memory cards, extra batteries or a battery charger and take into consideration the conditions of the room where you will be shooting.
"Is there enough light? Will you need a flash? Are the backgrounds too cluttered and distracting?" writes Darren Rowse, the author of the article 16 Digital Photography Tips for Christmas on the Digital Photography School website.
Also, make a check list of whom and what you want to photograph during the event.
Some point-and-shoot cameras have settings for different types of light sources. Don't use the daylight setting if you're photographing Christmas lights or candle light. Florescent lights can leave a green cast on the image if the camera is set on daylight, so be sure to use automatic light/white balance settings or the proper lighting settings.
Don't just photograph the event, take pictures of the preparation. Rowse suggests photographing food preparation, decorating, gift wrapping, setting the table and even kids throwing a tantrum.
According to Kodak.com, "If your subject is smaller than a car, take a step or two closer before taking the picture and zoom in on your subject. Your goal is to fill the picture area with the subject you are photographing. Up close you can reveal telling details, like a sprinkle of freckles or an arched eyebrow."
But be careful in getting too close to the subject of the photograph, depending on your camera, the photo may be out of focus.
If your camera has it, try the macro setting if you want to take photographs of something up close. "Ornaments on the tree, table decorations, sweets in the bowl on the table, a nativity scene on the mantel piece, holly above the doorway – sometimes it's these small things around your party that are the real 'money shots,'" Rowse writes.
This can be tricky because holiday gatherings can be chaotic, so take a deep breath.
Watch your background. Aunt Marge may be smiling pretty as you photograph her, but if she's standing in front of a shelf with lots of knick knacks, it may seem as if an elf is growing out of her head. Also, watch out for that mischievous cousin who likes to make bunny ears behind the photo. If the photo is a portrait, move the person you are photographing to where you want them in the frame.
Yes, the giant "Merry Christmas" sign is neat, but if you're only getting "err" and "istma" behind your mom in the photo, it's distracting. The eye automatically tries to read whatever letter or number is in the picture.
"Bring your picture to life by simply moving your subject away from the middle of your picture," according to Kodak.com. Photographers call it the "Rule of Thirds." Kodak.com explains it this way: "Start by playing tic-tac-toe with subject position. Imagine a tic-tac-toe grid in your viewfinder. Now place your important subject at one of the intersections of lines."
Get down low, especially when photographing children. Young kids tend to play on the floor, so get down there with them. "Expressions will look more natural, your flash photos will be more evenly lit from nose to toe, and the background will probably look a lot better, too." writes Kodak.com in Top 10 Tips for Photographing Children.
"Ignore the impulse to force your subjects to always pose staring at the camera," reads the Kodak.com article on Photographing Children. Sure, it's nice to have the setup photographs where everyone is smiling at the camera, but don't discount the candid photos. The joyful expression on the children's face when they open up a gift is 20 times better than having them smile and hold up the gift. It might take a little more patience to photograph children, because they do not sit still for very long, so be prepared to move.
Many of today's phones have the ability to take photographs. The same principles in using a camera apply to cell phones cameras. With the rise in popularity of smartphones, camera accessories are now being sold – including phone cases that offer lenses for the phone's camera.
Most smartphone owners use "apps" to create a special effect on their photos. A good place to start is www.iphoneography.com or droidphotography.blogspot.com, depending on what type of smartphone you own. Each website writes about the apps and accessories for the iPhone and Droids.

Launching into Coastal Research
Tioga is a quick hit for scientists
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's new 60-foot coastal research vessel was christened and launched on March 29 in ceremonies at Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding in Somerset, Massachusetts. After two weeks of outfitting and testing, Tioga arrived in Woods Hole on April 16.
"This marks a transition for WHOI," said Rocky Geyer, chair of the Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering Department and head of the science advisory committee that oversaw design of the vessel. "Building a new ship indicates a real commitment to coastal research."
With twin 750-horsepower diesel engines, Tioga can easily cruise at 20 knots, affording efficient and quick access to the waters of Vineyard and Nantucket sounds and Massachusetts Bay. It can range as far as 350 miles, enabling it to reach New York Harbor and the Gulf of Maine, where several WHOI scientists are conducting research.
"Tioga can get to the edge of the continental shelf and back in daylight, and at a reasonable cost," Geyer said. "This is a boon to blue-water oceanographers who are trying to get to the next level in technological innovation and need to test their instruments in deep water."
A large A-frame on Tioga's stern gives researchers the ability to deploy complex instrument arrays, moorings, and buoys. The versatile fantail and booms will allow testing and towing of new instrument systems.
But Tioga's biggest impact will come in coastal studies. The boat is versatile enough to support research on everything from marine mammals and harmful algal blooms to coastal erosion and oil spills. It also will allow many students to gain invaluable research experience at sea.
The boat features special outfitting for diversincluding a dive platform, dive locker, and showerwhich will be a major asset for the extensive underwater activity required at WHOI's Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO).
The boat is already achieving its designed goals. In the first few weeks of use, the vessel supported an education cruise and made several trips to MVCO to install new instruments and recover equipment for servicing. Tioga carried Brechner Owens, senior scientist in the Physical Oceanography Department, to the continental shelf break and back for deployment of a glider for a climate research program.
Tioga was built by Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, a
family-operated business renowned for specialized craft such as fast ferries,
police and fireboats, pilot boats, tugboats, and research vessels. The boat was
designed by Roger Long Marine Architecture
of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, which recently collaborated with Gladding-Hearn to build similar vessels for the University of New Hampshire (Gulf Challenger) and Old Dominion University (Fay Slover).

sandbox.funny name.the thing that comes to my mind is a litter box but i think it's kinda cool especially since an improved version of the Assasin's creed is there.Too bad I wasn't able to play the entire game since my sis uninstalled it from the computer coz she thought I would get hooked to it too much.Yeah she was right haha.Assasin's creed is a cool game.You get to steal things, do missions, kill people( well part of the thrill) and choose any horse that you can see in the game.you should defintely try it.

Hi chris!
Hindi tungkol sa sandbox ang sasabihin ko. Hehe! Uhm, what are your thoughts about the ongoing PBA finals? I'm a SMB fan (talo sila kanina, so sad). I bet you're on the Ginebra side because some of your old teammates are there. That's just okay. Hehe!
Anyways, what can you say about Ricky Rubio? Hehe! I really like him. He's one of my favorites. Well, just next to you. Hehe!
Sana mag answer ka man lang ng kahit isa jan. Hehe!
Be safe. :)

Hi, Chris. Your birthday is coming very soon, just 9 days from now! You're about to turn another year older, but you're looking younger. Ha ha!
I'm a bit sad that you're still not posting a new blog. Well, I heard that you went to Boracay? Hope you had a good time.
Haven't been receiving updates from you also through fanatxt. Does it mean we can no longer get in touch with you there because the promo period is over? I wish I were one of those lucky ones chosen to meet you and play bball with you.
Have a great Sunday, Chris!ü

World Autism Awareness Day is April 2nd, and it's the perfect time to help increase awareness about issues concerning autism.
Autism affects people from all nations, of all colors, in all geographic regions. And the occurrences of autism are only increasing. Caring for individuals with autism as well as educating others about its realities have proven tremendous goals, but we can all make a difference by creating more awareness around this condition.
For example, did you know that some with autism are highly artistic, or exhibit heightened memorization abilities, or are extremely adept with miniscule details?
Shedding some of the stereotypes and reinforcing the facts are a great way to honor World Autism Day. Please sign our pledge, and in the comments section, let us know something you'd like others to be aware of about autism.

The Weirdest Two Minutes in Sports
How we misunderstand the Kentucky Derby.
Somewhere along the line, the Kentucky Derby became known as "America's Race," which seems a bit of a misnomer given that the Derby is not a) America's best race, b) America's oldest race, c) the Daytona 500. But so it is with the relentlessly hyped Derby, where undeniable bunkum runs stride for stride with quaint nostalgia and willful anachronism. You can see all of that in the name alone. Since 1896, when the mile-and-a-half race was shrunk to a mile-and-a-quarter, the Derby hasn't been, strictly speaking, a derby.
America's Race, in other words, is not quite what it claims to be, which is nothing less than the quintessence of American horse racing. The Kentucky Derby's true distinction is its utter weirdness, which goes beyond the queer traditions and regional exceptionalism. The Derby is the most anomalous event to be reckoned the centerpiece of its sport, more of a novelty than a proving ground for greatness.
Consider: Saturday's 132nd Derby, the first leg of the Triple Crown, demands that a bunch of variously talented 3-year-olds race a distance none of them has raced before and many will never race again. (The typical Kentucky Derby prep race runs a more conventional 1-1/16th or 1-1/8th miles.) Because the race holds such an exalted place in the sport, horse folk tend to succumb to what's known as Derby Fever, causing otherwise rational owners and trainers to bloat the track with leaden pretenders. This weekend, 20 thoroughbreds will cram into the Churchill Downs gate, a lineup that's roughly eight horses larger than any horse in the field is used to. What's more, the race will play out in a manner that perhaps only the surliest of the lot are accustomed to. By comparison, the Tampa Bay Derby prep race had a field this year of only nine, light country traffic compared with the rough gridlock in Louisville.
Saturday's winner will likely not even be the Derby's best horse. He will merely be one of the lucky few who survives the manic break from the gate, during which the long, thin line of horses bunches up suddenly, like a Slinky. It is a brutal trip, what with all the early roller-derby bumping and jostling, not to mention the race's generally scorching pace. "The Derby," the Washington Post's Andrew Beyer explained last year, "is the most stressful race in America."
What we get, then, is a not-very-representative sample of thoroughbreds running a far-from-typical race under far-from-typical circumstances. And from this mess, a horse emerges that is supposed to lift racing out of the doldrums. The moment the Derby wire is breached, horse racing's star-making apparatus (feeble as it may be) kicks in. Casual fans are more apt to remember mediocre Derby champions like last year's Giacomo, who hasn't won a race since, than great thoroughbreds like Ghostzapper, possibly the best horse of the past decade.
Ghostzapper offers an interesting case study. He sidestepped Churchill Downs entirely, and later even the trainer sounded wistful about missing the Derby. "I know you dream of winning the Kentucky Derby," Bobby Frankel told reporters after what ended up being Ghostzapper's final race, "but the best dream is to know you have the best horse." In 2004, Ghostzapper won racing's definitive championship, the Breeders' Cup Classic, which is open to horses 3 years old and up * from around the world and thus attracts a more formidable field than the Derby. (Jay Hovdey, the Daily Racing Form executive columnist, says the Breeders' Cup is "more a reflection of the breadth and depth of the sport than it is the screaming high note.") He even beat out Smarty Jones—the wildly popular thoroughbred who came within a length of winning the Triple Crown—for Horse of the Year honors. Yet even today racing fans still talk about Smarty and his near-miss. Ghostzapper, meanwhile, has been dispatched to the stud farm, where he's quietly screwing away his emeritus years.
The Derby, alas, remains the yardstick. "The Kentucky Derby is the greatest race in the world," Ernie Moody, an owner of one of Saturday's contenders, Sinister Minister, told the Louisville Courier-Journal, "and we just want to be a part of it." Owners will continue to push their horses toward Churchill Downs, and horse racing will continue to go spelunking for its next icons in its sui generis Derby. The Derby winner will always earn a sort of brief prefab stardom—not necessarily greatness, but something that resembles greatness on television. Maybe it is America's Race, after all.
Correction, May 10, 2006:This story originally and incorrectly stated that the Breeders' Cup Classic is open to "horses older than 3." The race is open to horses 3 years old and up. (Return to the corrected sentence.)

eCO2 Watch Cuts Down on Carbon Footprint
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Wearables, Design, Science
The eCO2 watch is an interesting prototype that helps decrease your own carbon footprint. Of course it is a watch, but it also utilizes kinetic energy to pull in CO2 through its intake vents and spits out clean air through exhaust vents. While it seems that it would not make much of an impact, imagine if James Kershaw and Chad Garns' creation was given to an entire city. In the meantime, when Earth Day comes April 22, it wouldn't hurt to plant a couple of trees to do the same thing.

4790 W. 16th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222
(800) 822-4639 (317) 492-6700 Mon-Fri, 9a.m.-5p.m. ET
Bobby Rahal personified Indy car racing's shift from its oval racing roots to more of a technology-driven form of racing dominated by road racers. Rahal's father, Mike, was a successful amateur sports car racer, and Bobby made his debut at age 17 in 1970 driving Mike's Elva-Porsche. Bobby dovetailed his studies at Dennison University with his amateur racing exploits, but he quit driving after the 1976 season to work for a Chicago advertising firm.
The hiatus lasted five months. Rahal returned to racing in 1977, competing in Formula Atlantic against the likes of Gilles Villeneuve and Keke Rosberg. He then drove Formula 3 and Formula 2 in Europe before returning home to contest the SCCA Can-Am series.
In 1982, Rahal's sponsor, Red Roof Inns owner Jim Trueman, formed the TrueSports Indy car team. Despite driving for a team new to Indy cars and oval racing, Rahal acquitted himself well, winning the Cleveland Grand Prix in his fourth Indy car start. A couple months earlier in his Indianapolis 500 debut, Rahal was running fifth when his engine let go with 26 laps remaining. He was still classified 11th.
A pair of retirements at Indy split a seventh place finish in 1984. Then in 1986, Rahal was part of one of the most emotional storylines in the history of the Indianapolis 500. Trueman was dying of terminal cancer, and when the race was delayed six days by rain, the Truesports team feared their leader would not live to see another '500.'
But Trueman hung on, and Rahal drove the race of his life. After qualifying fourth, he led six times but trailed Kevin Cogan when the caution flag flew on Lap 195. Plus, pole winner Rick Mears was right behind Rahal in third place, seeking his third Indianapolis victory.
The restart occurred at lap 198, and Rahal quickly darted out and passed Cogan as the cars crossed the Yard of Bricks. With a frail Trueman leading the cheers, Rahal pulled away over the final three laps in what was then the closet finish among three cars in Indianapolis history.
"I knew if I could go into Turn 1 with the lead, no one could probably get by me again in less than two laps," Rahal recalled in his biography 'The Graceful Champion.' "The fuel light was blinking the last two laps and I knew Mears and I were tight on fuel. Going down the back straight I was screaming 'Don't leave me now, baby!' like a jockey. And I don't remember crossing the finish line!"
Bobby qualified an Indy career best second for the 1987 '500,' but retired after just 57 laps. He finished fifth in 1988, then second in 1990 in the fastest Indianapolis 500 in history. Rahal led 37 laps in the '90 race but crossed the line 10.878 seconds after winner Arie Luyendyk.
Rahal finished sixth at Indianapolis in 1992, his first year as an owner-driver. A year later, he sensationally failed to qualify when attempting to develop his own RH-01 chassis. Making the non-qualification even more astonishing, Rahal was the defending IndyCar World Series champion.
Rahal won three CART-sanctioned Indy car championships, in 1986, '87 and '92. "I suppose the highest point in my racing life was winning Indianapolis in 1986 and the lowest point was in 1993 when we didn't qualify here," Rahal said. "I remember sitting in our suite watching the cars come down to take the green flag and I was very emotional. If I ever knew whether I should be racing or not, I recognized at that moment in time that I was in the wrong place.
"More than any other track, this place evokes those kinds of feelings. I'm a tremendous historian of racing, and just like Yankee Stadium, this place evokes all aspects of motorsport - triumph, tragedy, you name it."
Rahal's final two appearances in the Indianapolis 500 as a driver netted third place finishes in 1994 and '95. He returned to IMS in 2002 as a team owner, now with talk show host (and Indianapolis native) David Letterman as his partner.
Rahal Letterman Racing won the 2004 Indianapolis 500 with driver Buddy Rice, and the team also launched Danica Patrick's Indy car career. Patrick was driving a Rahal Letterman car when she captured the attention of the nation by leading 32 laps of the 2005 Indy 500.
"When you're a kid, the Indy 500 is part of a dream and part of your life and something you carry with you as an adult," Letterman said. "I've been fortuitous in my relationship with Bobby and the team, and being here as a team owner is a combination of a dream and happenstance. As a fan, as somebody who loves auto racing, I've been handed the best of everything."
Rahal has maintained a presence in the sport as a team owner in the ALMS sports car series and the IZOD IndyCar Series. In 2008 his son, Graham Rahal, established a record as the youngest driver to win an Indy car race.

(AP) Pacers rout Knicks 93-82 to take 3-1 series lead
By MICHAEL MAROT
AP Sports Writer
George Hill scored 26 points and Paul George added 18 points and 14 rebounds Tuesday night, leading the Indiana Pacers to a 93-82 victory over the New York Knicks and a 3-1 lead in the second-round series.
Indiana needs one more win to reach the conference finals for the first time since 2004. Game 5 will be Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.
NBA scoring champ Carmelo Anthony fouled out with 24 points. J.R. Smith had 19 on another dreadful night for the Knicks.
The game followed a familiar pattern. New York's shooting was off, Indiana had a huge rebounding edge and the Knicks couldn't challenge in the second half.

Today's tactical fixed blade knives still resemble the first Bronze Age
daggers of 4000 years ago, especially in their handle design. Michael
Martinez, sculptor, inventor, and martial artist, didn't start out to
redesign the fixed blade, but he explains, "In my edged weapons
training, I kept noticing how many knives didn't feel right, didn't have
a grip that gave both control and comfort in the four fundamental
tactical grips." Michael's design firm, Group Design, Inc., reached out
to a team of medical specialists for the answer. Their Ultima™ achieves
22 out of 23 ideal contact points with its unique patent-pending handle.
The injection-molded black Zytel® scales feature over 70 triangular grip
segments, separated by sipes, or "ooze grooves" which channel away
water, mud and oil. Horizontal grooves are placed under the fingertips
for optimum feel.
Because tactical knives are inevitably used as pry bars, Michael's team
created a butt pry tip as an extension of the blade tang, with a rounded
The Ultima is available with a 6.75" or 4.95" full-tang blade of 1.4116
stainless steel with a light bead-blast finish. It is available with
Razor-Sharp or Combination Razor-Sharp and Veff™ Serrated edges. The
2125KV features a black titanium nitride blade coating.
Serrated models feature our exclusive patented* Veff™ Serrated edges.
Developed by Oregon City, Oregon, knife designer Tom Veff, these
serrations are wide and angled at 60 degrees to the edge. The resulting
cutting points bite instantly and dig deep upon contact, slicing
smoothly and effortlessly. They give dramatically improved cutting
ability on rope, webbing, strapping, hoses and leather.
An injection-molded black polypropylene Ultima Trainer is also
Tactical Sheath. The Ultima's custom black Cordura®/Zytel® sheath has an
injection-molded liner. Dual belt loops are Velcro® adjustable. For
maximum versatility, there are ample grommets with a length of 550
paracord included, an adjustable leg strap, plus a slotted sheath back
that can mount on MOLLE gear. Removable security handle straps with
snaps give access and security. A utility pocket with a Fastex™ buckle
will carry a variety of folding knives, multipurpose tools or
After 4,000 years of scientific progress, the only thing the Ultima
shares with its bronze ancestors is its role in the mission.

England winger Chris Ashton has paid tribute to international teammate Alex Corbisero following the British & Irish Lions' series victory in Australia.
Corbisero was instrumental in the decisive third test on Saturday, scrummaging the Wallabies into submission with a dominant prop performance.
The new Northampton Saint also made the early breakthrough with a second minute try, and Ashton has lauded the 24-year-old as 'a superhero'.
Ashton was also full of praise for the team effort on the tour down under, passing on his congratulations to all players following the emphatic 41-16 victory at the ANZ Stadium.
"No wonder he likes Superheros and stuff because he is one, well done Alex Corbisiero and ALL the Lions," Ashton wrote on his official Facebook page.
Wasps winger Christian Wade, who joined up with the party and played in the tour match against the ACT Brumbies, also took to Facebook to celebrate the victory.

text: Polyamory is by no means for everyone, and monogamy certainly seems to work best for most people. But one of the more unfortunate features of monogamy is the way it tends to force relationships to be either The Right One, or nonexistent. The general goal of monogamy, after all, is to find that one person you can spend the rest of your life with, forsaking all others. ...Continue Reading →

Metal Gear Solid Theme Removed from MGS 4 Due to Plagiarism Charges
"The truth is, Konami [had legal problems with] Russian composers who said we stole their music," Hibino told EGM, as related by Gamasutra. "They didn't, actually. But Konami was too sensitive about the situation and just decided not to use that music in the game."
The unnamed Russian composers apparently allege that the theme was stolen from Russian composer Georgy Sviridov's concerto "Pushkin's Garland" from 1979.
The Metal Gear Solid theme is credited to composer Tappi "TAPPY" Iwase, and first debuted with the PlayStation release of Metal Gear Solid in 1998.
Below the fold is a video of Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima essentially getting "Das Punked" with the tune by a Russian magazine. Judge for yourself whether the Metal Gear theme is the result of plagiarism or coincidence.

I gave a presentation today to an Irish genealogy group in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. As usual when Irish American family historians gather, I meet the nicest people, and today was no exception. And, as usual when Irish American family historians gather, frustration is a commonly expressed. It is good when people speak about their frustrations at these gatherings, because, in an odd way, knowing that others are having difficulty with their Irish research can be encouraging--misery loves company, you know! Many researchers, especially those starting out on this difficult journey, feel that they are alone in their inability to trace their ancestors to a place in Ireland. Often, they simply give up, or don't even begin to delve into their genealogy.
One man told me that he had no information about his Irish ancestors, apart from one record that listed "Ireland" as a place of birth for a grandparent.
"But do you have any family stories? You must have a story or two that has been handed down," I said.
"Oh, yes," he said. "We have stories about my grandmother."
He proceeded to tell me about a colorful woman who smoked a corn cob pipe. He had vivid descriptions of his grandparents and his family memories.
"Write all this down!" I said.
He seemed a bit unsure. He was clearly defeated by his inability to "jump the pond" with his family history.
But, even if he never finds an Irish record for his ancestors, what a treasure he would be leaving for his future generations if he collected the family stories about his grandparents. His grandparents are ancestors who are four whole generations past from his own grandchildren. The future generations of his family might not know where in Ireland the family originated, but they will know that they descended from a straight-talking Irish woman who smoked a corn cob pipe!
I think there is something magical about Irish family history research. Seems that once you start, your ancestors push you along the path until you make discoveries you never thought possible. But, you have to take that first step, put that pen to paper (or those fingers to the keyboard), and begin with what you know about who you know. And your greatest discovery will be that you know far more family history, already, than you think you do!

A Robot Just Broke the Human Record for Miles Driven in Space
Another victory for Opportunity, the spunky little rover driving on Mars
In December of 1972, the Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt got to do something awesome: They took a joyride on the moon. A long one. The pair piloted their mission's Lunar Roving Vehicle 19.3 nautical miles (which is also 22.210 statute miles, or 35.744 kilometers) over the moon's dusty, roadless terrain, collecting scientific samples along the way.
Their trip -- Thelma and Louise, with a better car and a happier ending -- was notable not just for the photos it produced or the payloads it collected. The distance Cernan and Schmitt traversed on that foreign soil -- those 20-odd miles of moon-driving -- has marked the longest stretch that any NASA vehicle has ever tread on ground other than Earth.
Until now, that is.
Today, the team that operates Opportunity, NASA's unexpectedly long-lived Mars Exploration Rover, received a transmission from the Red Planet: The rover, moving from one segment of Mars's Endeavor Crater to another, drove 263 feet. Which means that Opportunity's total odometry since it landed on Mars in January 2004 is now ... 22.220 statute miles.

Congressman Chris Collins, NY-27, released this statement on Thursday:
"Helping to protect women from violence should not be a matter of debate in Washington. As a husband, father of two daughters and brother to five sisters, I am pleased Congress acted to reauthorize this historically bipartisan legislation. There are many matters in Washington where both parties are understandably miles apart given our different political and economic philosophies, but doing what we can to protect women from violence should be more than enough reason to bridge the political divide."
