If the Academy Awards are a back-slapping bore, the Razzies are a bitch-slapping fun fest. Traditionally held on the eve of the Oscars, the annual awards show for the first time took place Sunday night on April Fools' Day at Magicopolis in Santa Monica, the perfect opportunity to lay into the movies that were last year's biggest jokes.
And who did the Razzies' 657 members vote as the big "winner" of 2011? Adam Sandler, a whopping 22-time nominee, whose fiasco Jack and Jill -- in which he plays both brother and sister -- swept all 10 categories, a Razzie record. Hard to believe a film with Katie Holmes, David Spade in drag and racist jokes about Mexicans and Indians didn't make critics laugh.
After an opening song featuring some of the show's presenters feigning farting sounds, Razzie president John Wilson -- dressed in a black suit, white sneakers and glitter-covered handkerchief -- handed out the first Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actor to Pacino, who played himself in Jack and Jill. (Pacino wasn't joking when, in the movie, he tells Sandler, "Burn this. All copies must be destroyed. No good.'')
Sandler and his comedy went on to take Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actor, Worst Actress, Worst Supporting Actress, Worst Screenplay, Worst Screen Couple and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel (of Ed Wood's 1953 Glen or Glenda), and Worst Screen Ensemble, the newest category, which included voters from Rottentomatoes.com.
In the past, winners like Halle Berry and Sandra Bullock were good-humored enough to appear in person to claim their trophies. With no stars this year, the evening's announcers -- including Paul Einstein, Kelie McIver, Allen Rueckert, Avery Clyde, Glenn Simon and Thushari Jayasekera -- kept the laughs going by using hilarious review bits from movie reviews web site to introduce the "nomina-neutered."
One reviewer called the Twilight trifecta of Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart (nominated for Worst Screen Couple) "the dullest menage a trois," while another described Sarah Palin (nommed for Worst Actress) in Sarah Palin: The Undefeated as "so outlandishly partisan she makes Richard Nixon look like Abraham Lincoln." The New York Post said Jack and Jill director Dennis Dugan had "all the skill of a blind parking lot attendant." But it was perhaps The Detroit News that was the funniest when it simply wrote: "Jack and Jill: The Apocalypse Starts Here."

In one of the theater's room, Wilson and Rottentomatoes.com editor-in-chief Matt Atchity conducted a post-show press Q&A surrounded by vintage posters of cheesy magic shows by Seigfried and Roy, David Blaine and others, which easily could've doubled as some of the ceremony's bad films. Wilson let it be known that Sandler was approached about appearing at the Razzies, but conveniently hightailed it to Florida to escape embarrassment. He also mentioned some of last year's flicks that nearly made the cut but weren't nominated, including The Human Centipede 2. "Our goal when we started the Razzies 32 years ago was to dissuade people from making movies like this," said Wilson. "Clearly, that's not working."

Immigration Enforcement officials arrested seven people following raids at two Whitby restaurants on Thursday evening.
Kam Thai on Church Street and Passage to India were both visited as part of a 'large-scale' Home Office investigaton into suspected immigration crime in Whitby.
Janet Griffiths, from Home Office Criminal Investigations, said: "This was a large-scale operation to tackle suspected immigration abuse in Whitby.
"Our investigations will continue following these arrests."
Staff at both restaurants were questioned to check if they had the right to be in the UK. At Passage to India, two Bangladeshi men, aged 30 and 31, were arrested for being in the UK illegally. At Kam Thai, two Bangladeshi men, aged 19 and 27, and a 34-year-old man from Thailand, were arrested for being in the UK illegally. All five men are now detained pending their removal from the country.
As part of the same operation, officers also arrested two British men, aged 30 and 33, on suspicion of knowingly employing illegal workers. Both men have since been released on bail pending further investigations.
Anyone who suspects that illegal workers are being employed at a business or someone is living in the UK illegally can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Officials had previously conducted a raid on the same businesses in December last year, when a Bangladeshi man who was working at Passage to India was detained by officials.

May 10, 2013 (AURORA, Ill.) --Two years after the disappearance of a 6-year-old Aurora boy, police say they have no concrete evidence whether he is dead or alive.
Timmothy Pitzen vanished with his mother, Amy, two years ago Saturday.
She later killed herself at a hotel in Rockford. She left a note that said Timmothy was safe and with people who will take care of him.
Aurora police and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children get about five tips a month on the case and the family is still hopeful.
"You really feel for a family who for the past two years has wondered whether their son is still alive," said Det. Lee Catavu, Aurora Police.
The detective says key people in the case of being re-interviewed on video and those interviews are being shared with other law enforcement agencies.

Review of Diaper Parties by Everything Birth and AIO Diaper Giveaway
This review is a little different. Instead of testing a product, I tested the concept of hosting a home party for cloth diapers. That's what Diaper Parties by Everything Birth are: a chance for moms to see their cloth diaper options in person before deciding which kinds to try.
My party was somewhat unsuccessful, even though I tried twice to make it work. First, my party was all but snowed out (1 guest, lol), so my friend and I had a princely spread and a nice time. But, she had recently spent her cloth diapering budget for the moment at a local shop and was just coming to learn about more kinds of diapers to try in the future. The people who couldn't come to my first party encouraged me to bring the diaper party kit to a get-together we were already having several days later. For various reasons, they either didn't come or decided not to purchase any diapers either.
Moral of the story? These parties are great for friends who are interested in cloth diapers, but they will work best if you don't have a local shop competing with you with nice sales. For people who can't examine diapers in person at a local store, these parties are a great way to get diapers at good prices, but no one who attended my parties had any real reason to buy right away.
Pros: I was impressed with the number of brands available, especially for pocket diapers (everything from Rumparooz to BumGenius and Thirsties). Diaper Parties also offers skin creams and lip balms and clay face masks to pamper mom, which is a nice addition to a party pack. Also, my closest DP rep was in Wisconsin, and she made herself available during the party by phone to answer any questions. Since most party hostesses wouldn't know quite as much about cloth diapers as a blogger like yours truly, this is an invaluable feature of these parties.
Cons: I told my friends there would be spa products as part of the party, but the samples were just small jars of each product–not enough to really be tested. Especially for these types of parties, where the guests will be pregnant women or moms who could use some pampering, I would like to see more samples for all the guests to try at the party. Finally, my party pack contained loads of popular pocket diapers, but only one diaper cover. I'm a huge prefold/cover fan, so I would have liked to see a few more covers in the pack, and maybe a hemp insert so people can see how to use hemp to add absorbency to their pockets.
Overall, I think these parties are a fantastic way of introducing cloth to those women not fortunate enough to have a local fluff shop. And for today's giveaway, we have a nice lavendar-colored snap AIO!

Skull Is Examined
Staff reports
October 30, 1987
A human skull found stuffed in a bucket floating in a lake west of Boca Raton on Wednesday was that of a young- to middle-aged black man, the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner`s Office said Thursday. Examination of the skull revealed few details as to the identity of the victim, except that the man had poor teeth. The man had been dead for as long as a year, officials said. Palm Beach County Sheriff`s deputies on Wednesday said the skull had a gunshot wound in the back and another possible wound above the left eye. The medical examiner ruled the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds.

The bones were found about 3 p.m. at a security checkpoint at Terminal 1 in Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, said Mike Jachles, spokesman for the Broward Sheriff's Office. Officials could not confirm whether the bones were actually human.

How doctors helped a South Florida boy with a fishing spear through his skull
By ANNA EDGERTON, Miami Herald
June 24, 2012
As 16-year-old Yasser Lopez was in the paramedic helicopter en route to Jackson Memorial Hospital with a three-foot-long fishing spear through his skull, the team at the trauma center was getting ready. "Time is brain," said Leo Harris, the physician's assistant on Lopez's surgery, who has been working in neurotrauma for 15 years. In cases of traumatic brain injury, according to Harris, seconds could cost brain function, and a miscalculation could be fatal. On the afternoon of June 7, Harris got a call from Dr. George Garcia, the trauma surgeon at Jackson.

Bones confiscated at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport were human skulls
By Linda Trischitta, Sun Sentinel
July 29, 2013
FORT LAUDERDALE Two earthenware pots discovered in luggage at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in April contained parts of human skulls that were used in Palo Mayombe religious rites, anthropologists at the University of Florida found. Palo Mayombe is a Congolese religion brought to Cuba during the slave trade, said Michelle Gonzalez Maldonado, associate professor of religious studies at the University of Miami. Its rites combine devotion to a spirit with natural objects like shells or sticks as well as human bones, she said.
Human skull in clay pot found in canal near Margate golf course
By Tonya Alanez, Sun Sentinel
July 8, 2013
- After finding a human skull and trinkets in a clay pot in a canal near the Oriole Executive Golf Course Monday morning, police launched a homicide investigation. But such discoveries are not uncommon in South Florida and are often linked to ritualistic Afro-Caribbean religions. The Margate skull was sent to the Broward County medical examiner for further examination, Lt. Andy Zettek, a spokesman for the Margate Police Department, said. Uncertain whether the skull was acquired for "religious ritualistic purposes," detectives are - for now - handling the incident as a homicide investigation, Zettek said.

In case Miami Heat star Chris "Birdman" Andersen lacks suggestions on what else to ink on his already amply-illustrated body, South Florida tattooists have a parlor full of needles - and colorful ideas - at hand. Body art possibilities range from traditional tats popularized to high-concept, and admittedly wacky, designs. "A tea cup giraffe," said Pinhead, with the Fat Mermaid Tattoo Co. in Fort Lauderdale. "We're just a little bit off the wall here, and that's what we've come up with.
Pots in airport luggage likely had human skull parts, medical examiner says

April 25, 2013
Pots found in a traveler's carry-on bag at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport likely contained parts of human skulls and will require further study by anthropologists, the Broward County medical examiner said Thursday. "They look like human skulls to us," Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Craig Mallak said. The remains will be sent to the C.A. Pound Human Identification Laboratory at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Security agents found the objects Wednesday in luggage held by two women who were flying to Baltimore.
Skull Found In Vacant Lot
December 10, 1993
The Dade County Medical Examiner's Office is trying to determine whose skull was found in a vacant lot on Wednesday. Workers clearing a field in the 2900 block of Northeast 190th Street in northeast Dade stumbled on the skull stuffed inside a bag, Metro-Dade police said. The skull's top portion had been sawed off. Police said that is a procedure commonly done during an autopsy. By analyzing the skull, medical examiners hope to determine the sex, race and possibly the cause of death. Police have no clue why the skull ended up in the vacant lot, or whether it was discarded as part of a religious ritual.

A little-known Jewish community in the Caribbean, buried by both time and modern development, has been rediscovered thanks to the efforts of a Broward sheriff's forensic artist and a Parkland researcher. Dana Cohen Sprott said she had heard stories that in the 1700s there was a Jewish community and burial ground in St. Maarten, "but I couldn't prove anything. " So, in 2010, she set up shop in a government office on the island, and pored through Dutch and Portuguese real estate documents, wills and other legal documents.

Naked Chair Exposes Everything
"Naked is an extremely lightweight chair that uses its structure as its aesthetic." And, like so much of the world, it is held together by wingnuts.
The strength of this chair is due to action-reaction forces between the folded steel sheets and beech wood frame. It also flat packs in transportation and can be assembled without tools, resulting in a very low carbon foot-print.
The designers are an international collective that-
was born out of a fortuitous meeting in Stockholm, hence the name Outofstock. [we can only assume because the joke used to be that IKEA was Swedish for "Sorry, Out of Stock."] Gabriel Tan and Wendy Chua from Singapore, Gustavo Maggio from Argentina and Sebastian Alberdi from Spain met at Electrolux Design Lab in 2005.

Travel Oregon Awards Funds to Oregon Communities Through its Innovative Travel Philanthropy Program
Feb 28, 2013, 02:54 EST
PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Travel Oregon, in partnership with Sustainable Travel International, will donate more than $14,000 to projects throughout Oregon that improve the environment, support local culture and enrich the destination for future visitors through the Oregon Travel Philanthropy Fund (OTPF).
OTPF is the first statewide program of its kind. The goal of the program is to improve experiences for visitors and locals by connecting them to participating businesses that directly improve and enhance Oregon communities.

The fund supports one project from each of Oregon's seven tourism regions. Examples include: the creation of the Mosier Plateau Trail, a sustainable non-motorized trail to be built on Friends of the Columbia Gorge Land Trust land with direct access to the community of Mosier, Ore.; support of the Sustainable Seafood Initiative to encourage visitors and businesses to buy local, sustainable seafood through the expansion of Haystack Rock Awareness Program's educational outreach; and in Portland, the Living Highways Project will plant and maintain over 5,000 trees along I-205, as part of the Greenspace Initiative. Each of the seven projects will receive more than $2,000. For more information on the fund, go to http://www.traveloregonforever.com.
"The Oregon Travel Philanthropy Fund is helping us create a European-type trekking experience that allows people to love the Columbia Gorge without loving it to death," said Kevin Gorman, Executive Director of the Friends of the Columbia Gorge.
Current participants in the OTPF are: The Heathman Hotel (Portland), The Jupiter Hotel (Portland), The Double Diamond Lodge B&B (Oakridge), Geiser Grand Hotel (Baker City), Old Parkdale Inn (Parkdale), WildSpring Guest Habitat (Port Orford), Cannon Beach Vacation Rentals (Cannon Beach), Black Walnut Inn (Dundee), Hotel Lucia (Portland), The Governor Hotel (Portland), Hotel deLuxe (Portland), Surfsand Resort (Cannon Beach), Stephanie Inn (Cannon Beach), Stephanie Inn Dining Room (Cannon Beach), Inn of the Four Winds (Seaside), Wayfarer Restaurant (Cannon Beach), Lumberyard Rotisserie & Grill (Cannon Beach) and Inn at Seaside (Seaside).

FLORA, Ind. -- In a time of overwhelming sadness, the right words are often hard to find. But pastor Jeff Landon of the Flora United Methodist Church the actions of his community are speaking volumes.
"People are calling just to ask what they can do and how can they help it's so fresh and new we don't know exactly what the needs will be, but there are people standing by waiting and willing to help and help this family"
According to Indiana State Police, the fire broke out at a home in the 100 block of East Columbia Street in Flora. The Carroll County Coroner's Office confirmed to FOX59 that four children trapped inside the house died. According to the Indiana State Fire Marshal's Office, their mother was airlifted from the scene. The children who died were between the ages of 4 and 12, and they attended Carroll Elementary School.
Hours after the fire, Landon says the offers to help have poured in. Offers of food and clothing are ready for when the family needs them, and at the gas station where the children's mother works, a donation jar sits on the counter. Donation accounts have also been set up at local banks.
Landon says on Tuesday, the church will organize a community counseling session and memorial for the four little girls. He says it will be a time for the community to openly talk and grieve, as well as send a message to the family that the community will be there for the family's support.
"They did make a difference in this community, they made a difference, it's a tragedy it's unfortunate and i hope that mom can move on knowing that there are other people there to help her move on" Landon said.
Landon says he wants to do is add the girls' name to a memorial garden outside the church. He says its important that the community always remembers them.

Breaking news: Steelers new quarterback
Breaking news: Steelers new quarterback.Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes' draft stock is hard to peg, but it's always interesting to see who wants to take a look at any potential first-round quarterback.
Today, he's in Pittsburgh as a part of his pre-draft tour, along with Tennessee quarterback Josh Dobbs, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
Of course, Mahomes has plenty of other interest, with a lot of teams with current or future needs wanting to take a closer look at a quarterback who put up incredible numbers in an unconventional system, which could put him higher than anyone anticipates.
But it's mostly interesting because of the presence of one Ben Roethlisberger, who has wondered aloud about retirement. Granted, nobody really thinks the 35-year-old is serious about the talk, but he's the one who put it out there.
The team has made it clear they have to think about life after Ben, though the idea of them using the 30th pick on a potential replacement creates the potential for great awkwardness.

Jack Bauer? He's all that in the eyes of a new CTU agent to be played by Freddie Prinze Jr., the latest actor to sign on for 24's eighth season.
A star of such films as She's All That and two Scooby-Doos — where he played opposite lady love Sarah Michelle Gellar — and the short-lived sitcom Freddie, Prinze Jr. joins the Fox drama as Davis Cole, a Marine who now heads up the resurrected CTU's Field Ops division. In that role, Cole fancies himself the new Jack Bauer, says the Hollywood Reporter.
24 has trod this path before, introducing a strapping field agent (James Badge Dale's Chase Edmunds, Ricky Schroder's Mike Doyle) who ostensibly might one day relieve weary Jack and inherit the "Drop it!" mantle. Chase, though, dropped off the radar after losing his hand (and girlfriend Kim), while Mike had a bomb go off in his face (a manuever to one day be known as The Juliet).
Also joining 24 is Mumbai-born beauty Nazneen Contractor (CBC's The Border), playing the daughter of Anil Kapoor's Middle Eastern leader. Counting down to her untimely kidnapping in five... four... three... .
Earlier this week, Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein) and Chris Diamantopoulos (The Starter Wife) were added to the 24 cast.
Season 8 of 24, to be set in New York City, premieres Jan. 17, 2010.

- Got Geth by following Windows binary link on https://www.ethereum.org/cli
Link is bad though, so manually navigated here: https://build.ethdev.com/builds/Windows%20Go%20master%20branch/ and took "Geth-Win64-latest.7z" (or you could take the zip)
- Unpacked Geth.exe and ran it as specified on https://www.ethereum.org/cli, opting for the log option, i.e. geth console 2>>geth.log
(There a command line reference here for when launching Geth here:
- Once you run it as above, you get a console. Found an API reference, which is basically what you can type at the console:
- You have to create an account to do anything, so followed https://www.ethereum.org/cli to create a new Account
- Then saw that typing eth at the console shows a bunch of account data.
- Tried to mine, but you can't mine until the full blockchain is downloaded, which makes sense. If you type: admin.miner.start() at the console, the log file tells you:
miner.go:90] Can not start mining operation due to network sync (starts when finished)
- Connecting to a VPN didn't interrupt the blockchain download (as expected I suppose)
- Location (on your computer) of Geth config files and Ethereum blockchain specified here: https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/2114/where-are-my-config-files-go-and-cpp

you have a G15 with a zoom, right? The EXIF shows you shot at the widest possible setting. Going a bit higher and zooming in would likely maintain the look of the slice being tall.
Right, 6 mm. EXIF data are where I originally posted; we can't use the metadata feature more than once for an image. Would backing off and zooming make the lens, in effect, longer? I get so much distortion in shots at this distance that everything is unnaturally foreshortened. I discarded all the attempts that included a fork beside the plate. The fork looked huge.
I initially thought there might be a consensus, a standard in the field. Apparently there isn't, except for the vertical angle (namely, go higher).

text: By Dave Munday, professional officer in the Health sector Last week CPHVA was in Birmingham (at least my bit was!). It was to pilot a session that I've been wanting to run for a while targeted at our student health visitor (and hopefully future) members. The format was simple as I borrowed that from the BBC. Our David Dimbelbey was Lord Phil Hunt (Labour Shadow Health leader in the Lords) and the panel; me and colleagues from the Department of Health, NHS England, Health Education West Midlands and Stafford University. I'd tried something similar for our Mental Health Nursing Association student members (MHNA) last year. Over the last two years I've done regular events updating our health visitor members on the progress of the 'HV Implementation Plan'. Hopefully, many of them will have known that the current investment in health visiting and the targets set by government to increase numbers by 4,200 was won by persistent campaigning by Unite/CPHVA and its members. However a concern I have is that those entering the profession won't have that historical knowledge. Come 2015, if the cuts in the service happen again (or in the move to local authority commissioning the services are forgotten about) we want members that remember the struggles so they're ready to struggle for their profession again. We see the wider impact of 'forgetting' past struggles, with politicians forgetting the struggles to create the NHS by our fore-parents, organisations signing away NHS staffs terms and conditions, on the belief that if agreed now the butchers won't come back with their knives and whole sale benefit destruction by legislatures ignorant to the destruction it causes not just to the families it touches but to us all in pushing towards a regressive society. It's always important to question, even if you already know the answer. Maybe it was wrong. We're running the next #StHVQT on 1st August at UCLan. We're thinking about rolling them across England so keep an eye on our events page.

text: Sherlock Wenlock: The story behind the Mascot * 19 August 2012 If you happened to be in London from mid July 2012 then we've no doubt you would have (at some point) stumbled across some rather unusual looking statues situated close to some of Londons top landmarks. 83 six-foot high sculptures of Olympic mascot Wenlock and Paralympic mascot Madeville were introduced as part of a programme of attractions in the lead up to the London 2012 Olympic games which began on 27th July. One of these Olympic mascots in particular caught our eye, Sherlock Wenlock. Having visited him a few times at his Regent's Park location close to the Baker Street entrance we decided to do some investigation of our own and find out the story behind this particular mascot. Sherlock Wenlock was hand-painted by the extremely talented duo Fiona and Neil Osborne from www.oneredshow.co.uk. We got in touch with them to find out more.... How did you get to paint Sherlock Wenlock? We were given a huge list of themes to choose to design for and our number one, first choice was Sherlock - not daring to think that we might actually get it. YES! How did you come up with the design? It was totally left up to us how to design him, we just needed approval from LOCOG before we started. We had both read a lot of Conan Doyle and were fans of all the different TV adaptations and films. The BBC Sherlock is ace and so well written and performed, I love it. What research did you do? Whist he was being painted we played a couple of Sherlock Holmes audio books for added atmosphere. Research included; Harris tweed, scanning the stories for descriptions, Sherlock fancy dress costumes (to see the most common conception), watching Jeremy Brett (one of his episodes was filmed in our village), Victorian objects etc... Who's idea was it to include all the little hidden extras and how did you decide what they would be? Painting onto a Wenlock shape is really difficult so the design was limited to what would work. We came up with the idea of pockets to put all the details into - otherwise there would just be clothes. The tiepin, watch and cufflinks are the other elements we managed to add. What was he painted with? We used emulsion - as we do on the murals, finished in a car lacquer. Did you create any of the other Mascots besides Sherlock Wenlock? Novel Wenlock (Oscar Wilde), Dickens Wenlock, Spice Wenlock and Chinatown Mandeville. As mentioned above Sherlock Wenlock contains many hidden references to the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories. Did you manage to spot them all? We've the full list from Fiona and Neil below with photos. 1. Buttons on the waistcoat contain Morse Code characters for Holmes' address: 221b 2. Pocket Watch & Lion's Mane Jellyfish fob (The 'killer' in The Lion's Mane) 3. A blue precious stone cufflink as described in The Blue Carbuncle 4. A black pearl cufflink as described in The Six Napoleons 5. Emerald Tie-pin mentioned in The Bruce-Partington Plans and hinted as a gift from Queen Victoria (V.R.) 6. Set of Skeleton Keys 7. A jemmy/small crowbar 8. A pipe, based more on the films as the books describe a smaller type 9. A scarlet Moss Rose: A Study in Scarlet being the first story to introduce Sherlock Holmes. In The Naval Treaty Holmes breaks character somewhat whist admiring the Moss Rose, a scene wonderfully played by Jeremy Brett in 1984. 10. Magnifying glass 11. Notebook 12. Map 13. Pen (of the same type used by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) with initials C.D Sherlock Wenlock will be on show in Regent's Park near the Baker Street entrance until 9th September if you wish to visit him. All the Olympic mascots are being auctioned off after the Olympics with Sherlock Wenlock already being sold for £6,520 on 15th August 2012. If you would like more information about Neil and Fiona and One Red Shoe you can visit their website, follow them on Facebook or watch videos on their YouTube channel.

ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) - Fort Larned, a 9-1 long shot, led all the way to win the $5 million Classic by a half-length on Saturday, capping a weekend of upsets at the Breeders' Cup.
Brian Hernandez Jr., aboard the winner, celebrated his 27th birthday with the biggest victory of his career. Game On Dude, the 7-5 favorite who was beaten in the closing strides a year ago at Churchill Downs, was seventh in the field of 12.
Fort Larned ran 1¼ miles in 2:00.11 in the showcase race of the two-day world championships that was shown in prime time for the first time. Just four favorites won in the event's 15 races.
Mucho Macho Man was second and Flat Out, trained by Bill Mott, was third. Mott won last year's Classic with Drosselmeyer.

The eastern cougar: Legend, science and controversy
By ZACK METCALFE, The Chronicle Herald – The Novascotian
Of all the folklore composing the cultures of Atlantic Canada, no tale is more compelling to me than that of the eastern cougar, a supposed subspecies which once roamed the forests of Nova Scotia and beyond.
As the story goes, we eradicated this wildcat some time ago, leaving only their western counterparts on Canada's far shore, showing off the majesty we now lack.
Legend, science and controversy
A fine story, isn't it? A seven-foot-long, 200-pound feline stalking through the past of our humble region.
In fact a considerable number of people claim the eastern cougar still walks among us, its survival attested to by the thousands of sightings across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in the past century.
But where this local legend meets with the scrutiny of science, a controversy is born.
The science
For the better part of a year I've been gathering the facts behind the folklore, speaking first to Mark Elderkin, a species at risk biologist with Nova Scotia's Department of Natural Resources. He told me our initial belief in an eastern subspecies of cougar came from taxonomy, as the bones and skulls of cougars caught nearby in the New England states were measured against specimens from elsewhere in North America. The New England skulls appeared unique, superficially, and so the eastern cougar was born, but we've since learned that taxonomy makes for shaky evidence.
"It's really not a good way to decide where a species or subspecies begins and ends," said Mark. He then invoked the work of Dr Melanie Culver from the early 1990s. Using the more precise science of molecular DNA, she compared the separate subspecies suggested by taxonomy and found that several weren't subspecies at all. The DNA doesn't lie — from the west coast to the east, it would appear, a cougar is a cougar is a cougar. The fabled eastern subspecies was a myth.
But if the cougars which once occupied the New England states weren't evolutionarily separate from those of the west coast, did they at least range far enough north to lay claim to the Maritimes as our folklore suggests?
The folklore
According to Mark, cougar sightings in Nova Scotia were documented by the Canadian Wildlife Service until 1992, at which point they handed the job over to the Department of Natural Resources. Mark and his colleagues have continued that labour, accepting sightings from the public and investigating wherever appropriate, and with the benefit of these records of this province's natural history and his personal experience in the field, Mark has reached as scientific a conclusion as is possible.
"There's absolutely no historical record of panthers or cougars (having ever lived) in this province," he said to me, dismantling the folklore I'd come to adore. "As I reviewed these hundreds of sightings one thing became very, very clear — about 95 per cent of them were clear misidentifications or (contained no real evidence of cougars.)"
He chuckled as he recounted a few choice photographs sent to him over the years from well-meaning enthusiasts across the province, some of orange, tabby or bicoloured house cats captured through kitchen windows. Then there were the deliberate hoaxes which come every couple of years — photographs snapped on the west coast claiming to have originated from Yarmouth County.
All told, there are no confirmed cougar photographs from Nova Scotia, no bodies found on the sides of our roadways and no pelts stored in any of our museums. While speaking to Dr. Warren Johnson, an authority on the world's big cats, it was pointed out to Mark that individual cougars tend to have ranges spanning 90-150 square kilometres or more. Given the narrowness of Nova Scotia, even if the province did at one time host cougars, there wouldn't have been room for more than three or four.
Inconclusive but compelling
But Mark is a scientist, knowing full well that the absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence. There's no reason he can see why cougars, a famously adaptable species, couldn't conceivably survive in Nova Scotia.
There have been some very compelling sightings, he admits, some from qualified people that he personally knows and trusts, but none of these have yielded any physical evidence, and good science always has its foundations in physical evidence.
"It's very possible that there are cougars here," said Mark, "but they are not native cougars that have hidden away in the back hills and come out all of a sudden, a hundred years later. If there are in fact cougars here, someone's had them in captivity and released them, or they've escaped. One or the other."
After a pause, Mark shared one final possibility, one that has earned credibility in recent years from observations across Ontario and Quebec. We've seen a west-to-east movement of certain species, said Mark, cougars among them, meaning the species could reasonably be visiting the Maritimes, if not necessarily establishing themselves here.
"I have nothing to refute the observations of people (who claim to have seen cougars), but it boils down to the physical evidence. We have none."
A 2007 project in Kejimkujik National Park endeavoured to settle the matter by way of scratch posts, similar in build to those of domestic house cats except larger, covered in tiny hooks and scented specifically to attract cougars. The cougars in question would rub against these posts and leave behind hair samples, collected periodically for DNA analysis. I corresponded with Chris McCarthy of Parks Canada who worked on the project until it was discontinued this year.
"Parks Canada has monitored for a cougar presence within Kejimkujik for nearly 10 years now," he told me by email. "Throughout this time, monitoring techniques such as scratch posts and game cameras affixed (to them) have produced no conclusive evidence of a cougar presence within the park. As a result, we've wrapped up the program."
New Brunswick
The beginning of New Brunswick's story is much the same as Nova Scotia's, outlined for me by Donald McAlpine of the New Brunswick Museum. He's head of their natural science department and works as their research curator of zoology.
"We actually have no historical evidence that the cougar ever occurred here," he told me. "Well, very little evidence."
There are a few scraps of history in his museum pertaining to cougars and, while none are conclusive, they tease the imagination. The first is a cougar skin which was mounted some time ago, belonging to an animal trapped in Quebec very near the border of New Brunswick and Maine in 1938. Then there's a photograph from 1932 of a hunter in Kent County holding up a cougar pelt, but there's no way of confirming if the pelt originated here or in New England. And like those of Nova Scotia, Donald estimates 99.9 per cent of sightings in New Brunswick are clear misidentifications.
But the stories of these two provinces diverge drastically in 2001, with a multi-partner scratch post project which preceded that of Kejimkujik. For this puzzle piece I turned to Derek Quann, acting resource conservation manager with Parks Canada. The project included 38 scratch posts mounted across Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, he told me, four of which were dedicated to Fundy National Park between 2003-07. They were scented and designed to gather hair, as before, and moved periodically throughout the park for optimal coverage. Then, the extraordinary happened.
On July 22, 2003, near this park's Kinnie Brook, a genuine cougar left behind its hair. DNA analysis confirmed its species and later that year, on Nov. 19, a second cougar rubbed against a post on Big Dam Trail. At long last, the presence of cougars in the Maritimes had been confirmed.
Were these two wildcats in fact the fabled eastern cougar, leaving behind its DNA finally for us to validate our folklore? No. But then, did they travel to our distant coast from their strongholds out west to populate this empty park? Almost certainly not. There was too little genetic material to confirm the geographic origin for one of these animals, but there was enough for the other — its home was South America.
"Of course the South American cougar didn't wander up here (on its own)," said Donald McAlpine. "Yes, there are presently cougars in the region, but these cougars were once captives or are the offspring of captives." He said someone brought them here.
Donald suggested they might have come as pets, which has been known to happen, but regardless, no hair was collected after 2003 and no additional cougar research has been undertaken in Fundy National Park since 2007. Perhaps its cougars have since moved on or maybe they've made a home for themselves out of sight. But cougar sightings continue to cross the desks of both Donald and Mark, like the instance late this October of recorded video showing an enormous cat traversing the long grass of Grand Falls, N.B. from a problematic distance.
It seems clear to me, after a year of scattered interviews, that no cougar of any description has ever truly settled the Maritimes; we might never know for certain. The one thing we can be sure of, however, is that for better or worse, they're here now.

Hunter Local Land Services (LLS) is encouraging postgraduate students with a strong commitment to natural resource management (NRM) and agriculture to apply for the 2016 Hunter Regional Landcare Scholarship.
The Hunter Regional Landcare Scholarship, worth $3000, supports student research that contributes to future environmental and natural resource outcomes.
'The scholarship exists to support students conducting valuable research that both aligns with Landcare principles and provides community, environmental and agricultural benefits,' Hunter LLS Regional Landcare Facilitator Nev Reis said.
It is a key goal of Hunter Local Land Services Strategic Plan to close knowledge gaps across the region through research that discovers new and better approaches to NRM and agriculture.
This is the third year Hunter LLS has offered the scholarship, which is part of the Regional Landcare Facilitator (RLF) program, an initiative of the Australian Government.
The scholarship is administered by The Tom Farrell Institute for the Environment, Faculty of Science and Information Technology at the University of Newcastle.
Director of The Tom Farrell Institute for the Environment, Professor Tim Roberts, said: 'This is a tremendous scholarship program which makes a significant contribution to a student's research project and the environment'.
'The Tom Farrell Institute is proud to be administering this worthwhile scholarship program which helps students achieve their goals,' Prof. Roberts said.
University of Newcastle student, Tegan Hopwood from Mayfield, used her 2015 scholarship to conduct research project, 'Impacts of surrounding land uses on microbial water quality within the Campvale Canal inlet to Grahamstown Dam'. Grahamstown Dam is the Hunter's largest drinking water supply dam.
'The Landcare scholarship has been incredibly valuable to support me through my financial struggles while at University. It was a great confidence boost that drove me to complete my research', Tegan said.
Since receiving the scholarship, Tegan's research has been recognised by Water Research Australia, who supported her attendance at the internationally reknown, Young Water Professionals Conference in Sydney last week.
Two scholarships will be offered in 2016. Applications close on Monday 2 May 2016.

Public debt continues to burden many countries, especially in Japan where the government has put money toward bailing out banks, designing spending programs and repairing damage from the 2011 tsunami disaster. Euromonitor's government, labor and education research manager, Carrie Lennard, explains that in order to raise money, Japan will raise its consumption tax. This tax increase will have a negative effect on consumer spending. The United States is also struggling with high public debt due to spending on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the automotive industry bailout. Lennard also gives several examples of countries where public debt is being reduced.

After a nine-month hiatus, the Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University is throwing a party in its newly renovated climate-controlled galleries. Approximately half a million dollars has boosted the gallery into state-of-the-art status.
Most of the museum's makeover brought a new air-handling system to create a near-perfect climate for permanent and visiting collections in the 38-year-old building.
While the museum was closed, some cosmetic work also was done. The cement floors were polished. New moveable wall partitions, constructed at WSU, were secured, and a fresh coat of paint was added. The museum — with just a little cosmetic work — has an exciting, polished look.
A reopening event Saturday evening at the museum will unveil the changes.
But what visitors can't see perhaps has those invested most excited.
For a museum to display high-quality artwork from other museums and to keep the pieces in pristine condition, it must possess a stringent climate-controlled environment.
"(Before), if we were interested in a serious loan, they would not have accepted us," said Ulrich Director Patricia McDonnell. "We can now imagine phoning the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York or the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City and working on bringing an exchange, and that was not the case before."
When McDonnell came to the museum in 2007, she realized the air system was not adequate. She explained her dilemma to the staff at physical plants and the board of directors. Eventually, an engineer was called in, a public bid was authorized, and the local firm of Hahner, Foreman and Harness installed new ductwork, added barrier walls and oversaw the installation of a new air-handling system.
A museum is expected to keep its interior temperature at 65 to 75 degrees and its humidity between 45 percent and 55 percent.
"You don't want to have terrible spikes," McDonnell said. "We went considerably beyond 75 degrees. We just didn't have a system that could deal with the great temperature swings in Kansas."
Woody DePontier, WSU's physical plant director, said the money to update the air-handling unit and all the ductwork came from "money that was allocated for Regents colleges for rehabilitation and repair."
A vestibule that leads to the sculpture gallery was built on the second floor so that outside air does not come directly into the main rooms. A glass wall also was constructed in front of the elevators to alleviate temperature swings from the opening of the elevator doors. A dropped ceiling was added in one gallery, and a new roof structure was built to accommodate the extra cooling mechanisms.
After the Saturday night party, the museum will open Sept. 16 with three exhibitions: One exhibit will feature a retrospective of WSU professor Ronald Christ, another will showcase some recent works from the museum's permanent collection, and a final exhibit will celebrate Kansas-born Gordon Parks' centennial birthday with a display of a dozen of his civil rights-era photographs.
To add to the powerful photographic display, the Ulrich secured a loan of almost three dozen civil rights photographs from the Menil Collection in Houston. These works by a variety of photographers will round out the museum's Gordon Parks exhibit. The photographs in the exhibit exemplify an era of unrest and provide moving documentation that shows the strength of resiliency during oppression, as well as the brutality of force.
"It's very doubtful that they (the Menil) would have leant this work without this new climate control," McDonnell said.
She said she welcomes this new era of possibilities.
"The door is now open to do more ambitious exhibits," McDonnell said. "I'm just so excited about seeing people coming through the door."
The museum also is looking to expand in the next two to three years, McDonnell said. With the help of federal grants and donor money, the museum is hoping to increase collection storage space, create a larger loading dock and build better work space. More than $1.8 million of the $3 million needed has been raised.
Although she does not want the fanfare, the reopening of the Ulrich marks the end of McDonnell's tenure as the museum's director.
On Sept. 16, McDonnell begins working full time as the executive director of the Wichita Art Museum. The Ulrich is searching for a new director as well as a new curator, whom the new director will hire.

The Fallen (Memory Man #4) (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
The closer Amos Decker comes to the truth, the deadlier it gets in David Baldacci's latest #1 New York Times bestselling Memory Man thriller. Something sinister is going on in Baronville. The rust belt town has seen four bizarre murders in the space of two weeks. Cryptic clues left at the scenes--obscure bible verses, odd symbols--have the police stumped. Amos Decker and his FBI colleague Alex Jamison are in Baronville visiting Alex's sister and her family. It's a bleak place: a former mill and mining town with a crumbling economy and rampant opioid addiction. Decker has only been there a few hours when he stumbles on a horrific double murder scene. Then the next killing hits sickeningly close to home. And with the lives of people he cares about suddenly hanging in the balance, Decker begins to realize that the recent string of deaths may be only one small piece of a much larger scheme--with consequences that will reach far beyond Baronville. Decker, with his singular talents, may be the only one who can crack this bizarre case. Only this time--when one mistake could cost him everything--Decker finds that his previously infallible memory may not be so trustworthy after all... "Decker is one of the most unusual detectives any novelist has dreamed up." --Washington Post
