R7: Australian Guineas – 1600m 3YO SW G1 $750,000
The Track
The track is currently a Good 4 (Thursday) with warm weather forecast leading into Saturday, so the track should be a Good 3 by race time. With the rail in the TRUE position, we expect the track to play evenly.
Speed and Tactics
The early pace looks to be genuine with the Kiwi Xtravagant (3) kicking up to most likely hold the lead and control the race. Mahuta (9) has little option but to press forward and should cross comfortably and take up a position outside the lead. There's little other obvious pressure, but both pace setters are comfortable travelling along at a genuine tempo, so that seems the most likely scenario here.
Early Pace Rating: Average
Late Pace Rating: Average to Above Average
Best Suited: Neutral. Overall talent will be the key factor.
Race Overview
Below are the ratings that recent rating that Australian Guineas winners have run to:
- 2015 – Wandjina – 105.3
- 2014 – Shamus Award – 102.8
- 2013 – Ferlax – 99.5
- 2012 – Mosheen – 105.5
- 2011 – Shamrocker – 103
- 2010 – Rock Classic – 103.5
- 2009 – Heart of Dreams – 105.0
- 2008 – Light Fantastic – 105.0
Away from Xtravagant who is an established 106 rated runner, the lead up form of this year's competitors sits comfortably below the historical standard. If the boom Kiwi horse brings his "A" game then it's hard to see the others being able to match him.
If Xtravagant doesn't run up to his best then the race is wide open. Preference is given to those horses that sit near the top of the ratings, but are showing clear signs that they can take a significant step forward in their performance.
Runner by Runner Analysis
1. Mahuta (9) $13 MKT: $9
Went to a new career peak 100 rating when winning over 1400m last start (up from 98.2). There is some concern that after a relatively easy early pace, he really walked to the line over 1400m and must go to 1600m here with potentially more genuine pace. On the flip side to that argument is the fact that last start was his first in 5 weeks so he may be fitter. His toughness and consistency is a big asset, but he seems far less likely than some of the others to run to a new peak here and that's what will be needed to win the race, even if Xtravagent fails. With that in mind we are slightly negative on him compared to the market.
2. Tarzino (4) $7.50 MKT: $7.50
He has a peak 103.5 rating from his VRC Derby win (2500m) and on talent is clearly the second best horse in the race behind Xtravagant. His first up run over 1400m behind Mahuta was outstanding! He settled around 9 lengths off the moderate speed but unleashed a fast and sustained last 800m to be beaten only 1.4 lengths. His last 800 was 3 lengths better than any other runner in the race and the quality of his speed figures during that section were very impressive. He'll be best suited this prep at 2000m+, but coming off that last start run up to 1600m at Flemington is an ideal scenario for him to progress his 96.5 figure to at least 100 and potentially higher. He's a leading contender.
3. Vanburgh (1) $101 MKT: $26
Unsuited first up, but only ran to a 91 rating and his peak 98 was in a strongly run 1800m. He'll no doubt improve on first up, but looks to need at least one more run before he's ready to mix it at this level.
4. Ready For Victory (5) $67 MKT: $41
He had excuses last start, but only rated 95 first up and has a 3YO peak of 97.8 (when 3rd in the Caulfield Guineas behind Press Statement). He needs to go to a clear new peak to get into the race here and there aren't any indicators to suggest he's set to do that over 1600m in this race.
5. Xtravagant $3.20 MKT: 3.30
He's an outstanding Kiwi galloper who is well established at the 106 rating level courtesy of two big wins… last start by 8 lengths against older horses in the NRM Sprint over 1400m and then back in November over 1600m when he won the NZ 2000 Guineas by 8.5 lengths. The quality of his speed figures both overall and sectionally were outstanding in the 2000 Guineas, something only genuine top class horses can do. He has produced 3 sub standard performances in his 8 start career so far, but they've all come on 6-7 rated soft tracks in NZ, so that is perhaps his weakness. Flemington will serve up his preferred Good going so the track condition is no concern. Some allowance has to be made for the fact that he has to travel from NZ, settle in and then produce his best on the track… but his overall talent combined with the prospect of controlling the race up on the lead makes him clearly the best chance in the race.
6. Bon Aurum (11) $81 MKT: $41
Both runs back this preparation have been OK, but he needs to make improvement to reach his 98 career peak from last preparation and then go higher again. There's nothing in those two runs this preparation to suggest he's likely to do that.
7. Sovereign Nation (8) $61 MKT: $26
Was okay last start over 1400m behind Tivaci and will be better suited over 1600m at Flemington. However he doesn't yet appear to have the overall quality needed to win at this level and will be less than ideally suited from well back in the run.
8. Tivaci (13) $31 MKT: $15
Ran to a new career peak of 95 last start winning (on protest) over 1400m at Flemington and does look to have upside stepping up to 1600m. However we can't see enough to suggest he can suddenly leap the 5+ points needed to get into mix as a potential winner.
9. Palentino (16) $11 MKT: $7.50
He's a lightly raced Darren Weir galloper with plenty of upside on what he's done so far. He ran to a 96.8 rating last start over 1400m when losing the race on protest to Tivaci, but a key feature of his run was strength over the final 200m. Tivaci clearly headed him in the straight, but Palentino fought back to gain a clear margin at the line. Darren Weir is a master of setting horses for a target and improving them with racing, so it seems highly probable that Palentino will run a clear new career peak in this race. That said, he does have to elevate his rating significantly and is likely to settle near the rear of the field from barrier 16. He's one of the chances to be respected, but we can't see any value in the current price.
10. River Wild (6) $26 MKT: $21
Happy to totally overlook last start after he missed the jump. Prior to that he was well established in the 97.5 to 98.5 rating range with signs that 1600m might bring a little more improvement. He can take up a position just off the pace here and with decent quality in his figures, he's a longer priced runner that has to be respected.
11. Snoopy (14) $201 MKT $51
Was beaten 0.6L 3rd behind Mahuta over 1400m last start and that 96.5 rating seems about as good as he can go. It's hard to imagine him to suddenly running a big new peak here, especially from a very awkward barrier draw.
12. Tulsa (15) $34 MKT: $18
** Likely to be SCR for the Randwick Guineas ** Was 3rd last start behind Tivaci / Palentino, running a solid 94 rating, below his career peak of 96.5. It's conceivable that he could go to a new peak in this race, but he seems less likely that a few of the other to reach the 100+ rating needed to be competitive .
13. Jameka (12) $26 MKT: $17
She won the VRC Oaks (2500m) last preparation with a strong 101 rating and away from that she has a number of other performances around the 97.5 level, including first up over 1400m at Flemington. She's drawn very awkwardly here for a handy / midfield Filly, but if she can find a spot then she's capable of progressing from that first up figure and that puts her among a group that could run a place.
14. Perfect Reflection (2) $7.50 MKT $9
Ex WA Filly now with Darren Weir and is another that looks set to run very well in this race. Her 97.5 rating last start over 1400m at Flemington (same race as Jameka) had plenty of merit and clear signs that she'll take a good step forward in this, especially with the Blinkers applied for the first time. She has a peak of 101 from WA when winning the G1 WFA Kingston Towns Stakes (1800m) against older horses and it's reasonable to think she'll run close to that level here, especially with the potential to settle around midfield from Barrier 2. Away from the favourite Xtravagant, she's clearly one of the top chances and available at a good value price.
15. Risque (10) $26 MKT: $12
She a NZ G1 1000 Guineas Winner and had her first start in Australia over an unsuitable 1200m, yet was still able to win with a solid 94.8 rating. She'll no doubt improve up to a Mile here, but is yet to run to the level that will be needed to figure in the finish of this, so she looks under the odds in current markets.
16. Sailing By (7) $31 MKT $34
She was good first up when just failing to run down Mahuta at the end of 1400m, clocking the 2nd best closings sectionals in the field from the 800m mark (behind Tarzino). Her 97.4 rating was a new career peak, which could mean she's in for a stellar campaign. With the ability to take up a handy position in running, she's a longshot that deserves plenty of respect.

I Don't Know
I think everyone has these moments.. Days, weeks. Whatever it may be. Where your stuck and really just don't know where to go or what to do.
Well if your in that position we can go through some steps on how to get out of it!
1) Where are you in your life?: Are you happy? If not. Change it. the environment your in, who you hang out. Or in my case, just move (probably not the solution for everyone haha)
2) Write things out: What you want to accomplish in life, what are your dreams, what you see yourself doing in 5 years. If you don't know, you can talk to others and ask them where they might see you. (Now don't take what they say and do that if you don't want to, its just a suggestion of a start)
3) Listen to music and take walks: I've noticed I do my best thinking when I'm on walks while listening to music (i do both because I have to be doing two things at once)
Hopefully these helped you, if you have any questions feel free to ask!(:
Have a lovely day!

From New Jersey, USA
My four year old son, who has had type 1 diabetes for a year and a half, complains of headaches and stomachaches enough to be concerned about it. There are times when he gets headaches from being low and occasionally when he has an extreme high, but there are often times when his blood sugar levels are in normal range, and he still complains of headaches often. Also, his stomach aches enough to wonder if something else is going on (i.e. celiac disease). I read recently about hypothyroidism, and one of the symptoms is headaches along with puffiness in the face and weight. He has the first two symptoms, if they are accurate, and his weight is 41 pounds. with a height of 41 1/4 inches.
I don't want to ignore symptoms if there is something to be concerned about, especially since he can be more susceptible to developing other autoimmune diseases and/or certain complications due to diabetes. Should this be a concern? If so, what will need to be done?
It is easy to screen for thyroid problems with a simple blood test. Celiac disease can also be screened for with a blood test, that may be quite accurate and sensitive, but I believe that current recommendations remain to confirm an abnormal celiac screen with a small intestine biopsy (which would be done with an endoscopy procedure). Celiac disease has significant implications as there are important dietary considerations. Also there is some increased incidence of certain intestinal tumors with poorly controlled Celiac disease.
However, remember that common things happen commonly: most stomachaches in children are functional or related to bowel habits. Children (especially stressed children with chronic illnesses) can have peptic ulcer-like disease. Your pediatrician may be able to help you or refer you to a pediatric gastroenterologist . Peptic ulcer-like diseases are best diagnosed with endoscopy also so the biopsy for celiac disease can be done at the same time.
I'd say that my experience is that headaches are not common symptoms in children with mild hypothyroidism. While there are "bad things" that can cause serious headaches (brain tumors, migraines for example), those headaches tend not to be mild and often are associated with nausea/vomiting. They have somewhat distinctive patterns.
Your son's pediatrician and endocrinologist should be informed of these issues, and try to explore for you and reassure you.

But this year, we just got the greatest news--- my brother Noel,who usually works during holidays, and my brother Albert who stays in a seminary in Baguio, would both be home for Christmas and New Year.
So even if we only had a simple Noche Buena and only had few gifts, the anticipation of being complete was more than enough to keep us smiling 'til January.
|This was only part of the gifts and our Noche Buena, don't worry. :)
By about 5 am in the morning on Christmas Day, Kuya Albert was already home. We woke up early to go to mass, went back home to welcome relatives and friends who came to visit us and then, we got ready for our Christmas dinner.
Most of the restaurants were closed but luckily, Mesa, the modern Filipino-themed restaurant, was open!
We had 7 different dishes, mostly seafood, rice and different drinks. It was such a sumptuous dinner that I didn't feel guilty that I ate too much! By the end of the night, we felt so warm, fuzzy and happy because we were so full.
Hence, these crazy wacky photos.
I am very thankful to God for letting me be a part of a family that fills my heart with so much joy and contentment. I am just amazed as to how they make a weekend seem like a long, crazy vacation.
I love my family so much and I wouldn't ask for more. They're the best Christmas gift I have ever received.
So I'd like to share the love I'm feeling right now.
Merry, merry Christmas from our family to yours!

The ambitious targets of the European Union in increasing the use of renewable energies to 20% of Europe's energy needs, call for urgent changes, including in the biomass sector. The share of solid biomass for heating purposes could be further increased by replacing oil- and gas-fired furnaces with biomass boilers and by expanding the spectrum of biomass raw materials for small-scale combustion systems. The interest in using non-woody biomass fuels for heat production has been increasing in Europe due to two main factors. First, the market for fossil fuels is unstable and their prices are continuously rising. Second, the increase competition for woody biomass between the heating sector and other industries, have increased the price of wood. As a result, the interest for alternative biomass fuels is growing rapidly, covering woody materials of low quality, energy crops and forest residues.The present work aims at investigating the technical feasibility of using non-woody biomass fuels in existing small-scale combustion appliances developed for burning wood. Therefore, combustion tests with different non-woody biomass fuels and in different combustion appliances were performed in standard laboratory conditions and in households under real life conditions (field tests). The laboratory tests were performed using eight different fuels (straw, Miscanthus, maize, vineyard pruning, hay, wheat bran and Sorghum) while in the field tests straw, Miscanthus and maize were burned. The gaseous and particle emissions, the slag tendency and the efficiency of the combustion systems operated with non-woody biomass fuels were analysed and when possible compared with the legal requirements defined in FPrEN 303-5. The limitations of the investigated combustion appliances when operated with non-woody biomass fuels were analysed and discussed.Non-woody biomass fuels could be used for heat production in existing combustion appliances as long as the systems are adapted for burning high ash content fuels. Among the investigated fuels, Miscanthus, vineyard pruning and hay could be burnt in most of the tested combustion appliances while fulfilling the legal European requirements (defined in FprEN303-5) in terms of emissions and efficiency. The non-woody biomass fuels showed problems with ash accumulation and slag formation and could only be burned without unwanted shutdowns in combustion appliances adapted to manage high ash content fuels. Straw, wheat bran and maize were the most problematic fuels regarding slagging. The combustion appliances require appropriate technological developments to manage the strong variability in terms of chemical and thermal properties of the non-woody biomass fuels. The results of the laboratory tests were generally in agreement with the field test results.

Boca Raton — Under cover of night for the next few months, scores of female leatherback turtles will warily haul their 2,000-pound endangered hulks out of the water and motor duneward like tanks, leaving ladder-like treads in the sand.
Those who make it to Boca's 5-mile stretch of beach without getting disoriented by city lights will each lay about 60 eggs over a period of one to three hours. They will bury them more than a foot deep in the sand in nests or "crawls" spanning 6 to 9 feet.
As the moms move out, it's time for the mostly volunteer monitors based at the Gumbo Limbo Environmental Complex ( www.gumbolimbo.org) to move in. During the March to September nesting season, they identify nests of leatherback, loggerhead, green and, occasionally, hawksbill turtles, safeguarding them from predators and the public until hatchlings emerge about two months later.
"We use pepper powder against predators," said Gumbo's marine conservationist Kirt Rusenko, explaining that raccoons or foxes try to nose into the nests, and pepper powder, strategically placed where they tunnel, deters them.
"After about three days of pepper powder, they usually give up," Rusenko said.
To protect the turtles from the public, Gumbo Limbo uses education programs and turtle walks. From late May until July, Gumbo Limbo offers nighttime reservation-only tours to see mother turtles laying eggs or hatchlings being released. The tours are notorious for selling out quickly.
Gumbo Limbo's Boca Raton Sea Turtle Conservation and Research Program keeps an eye on everything that moves on the 5-mile stretch of beach, conducts research and report its counts of eggs, nests and hatchlings to the state.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has listed the leatherback, green, hawksbill and Kemp's Ridley sea turtles as "endangered" species, and the loggerhead sea turtle as a "threatened" species.

Again 2
I don't know how to untangle everything we have together; the memories, the friends, the routine, the family, the kids, the stuff. I just have to see how long I can love you waiting for you to love me again.
Progress unfinished
Rushing Forward
Moving Quickly
Wanting More
Edging Toward
Life is Love and a Little More
Life is about learning, sharing and loving. We're fortunate if we have the opportunity to do all three. Learning about others teaches us about ourselves. Sharing with those who refuse to want is the only kind that makes a difference. Loving. If you can love with all of your heart and share that love with someone else then you've learned how to live.
To Savor Your Love
You know what, one of the things I love so much about you is that even in the middle of your own funk, you have the kindness and the sensitivity to be concerned if I'm ok. That's such a wonderful character trait, I'm amazed. You're really a great guy. Thank you for loving me back.
My Strong Heart
I have a strong heart
I ask about the motive behind her communication
With you
No matter why she writes to you
You reach for me in the night
My heart is strong
I ask about her priorities when she knows I'm here
Why still
Why is she still talking to you
I know you ache for my kisses
My heart is strong
I believe I'm enough and can show you how I feel
About us
Respect me for loving and trusting you
Look for me in your dreams
I have a strong heart
I trust you
I love you ♥

- Miguel Sepulveda
- Colors by
- Frank Martin
- Letters by

- Adi Granov

- Marvel Comics
The Thunderbolts finally enter the fray of "Siege" in this week's issue, with a secret mission for Norman Osborn: steal the Spear of Odin from Asgard's armory. Jeff Parker is clever in using this mission to tie into "Siege" since it plays to the group's strengths and doesn't simply launch them into the huge brawl. Parker also uses this mission as a means to explore the dysfunctional group dynamic of late with the Ghost AWOL and the team's leader, Scourge, having shot Headsman in the back of the head under mind control.
This issue's greatest strength is also its most annoying weakness: the banter between the members of the Thunderbolts. In limited bursts, these griping, whiny 'badasses' bitching at one another is very entertaining. Scourge's over-the-top militaristic approach that makes him view his teammates as lowly criminals, ignoring his own actions is interesting when put up against Paladin's more pragmatic 'let's do this and get paid' attitude, but, over the course of the issue, their constant need to argue becomes grating. Parker simply goes back to the same well a few times too many in this issue.
He does insert some nice action moments like Hogun the Grim's use of a bow or an Asgardian discovering the team in the armory and taking on Mister X, but the ratio of fighting to talking is a little out of balance since the dialogue gets progressively annoying as the issue progresses and Miguel Sepulveda's talents are brought to the forefront during the few bits of action we're given. Like a lot of superhero artists, he works best with characters in motion and them simply walking around the armory doesn't quite get the job done.
Sepulveda's strongest art in this issue isn't of two characters fighting, it's of Asgard itself. If you thought Olivier Coipel does stunning drawings of the floating city, Sepulveda's initial rendering of it will blow you away. He delivers a strong level of detail and infuses it with a sense of majesty. Frank Martin's colors on that image make it stand out as he uses a lot of subtle grays to give the stone and rocks an extra level of texture and reality. Inside the armory, the two manage to create a sense of beauty and age in the weapons and treasures found there.
The two page spread early in the issue where Osborn briefs the team on their mission is one of the pair's artistic missteps, as they depict the events of "Siege" in the background using a less detailed art style including the Thunderbolts' plane in faded colors, and the Spear of Odin in the foreground with regular colors. However, neither of those objects draw enough focus to warrant the different colors or placement, while the flashback images could be much stronger and show off both Sepulveda and Martin's skills greater. In the issue, the two pages look a muddled mess and don't deliver as effectively as the rest of the art.
While a clever idea fuels this initial "Siege" tie-in issue and manages to play to the Thunderbolts concept well, too much time is spent on these unlikable characters talking as the vast majority of the issue is spent that way. A small taste of their antagonistic banter is great, but Jeff Parker pushes it too far here and, by the end, it's simply annoying.

Name as it appears on the ballot: Ellen Reckhow
Full legal name, if different: Ellen W. Reckhow
Date of birth: 2/19/51
Campaign Web site: www.ellenreckhow.org
Occupation & employer: County Commissioner, Durham County
E-mail: email@example.com
1. Describe your past leadership roles, both in career and community. How will these experiences help you serve on the Board of Commissioners? Please be specific about how these roles correspond to a commissioner's responsibilities.
I have served on the Board of County Commissioners for 24 years, six as Chair and 12 as Vice-Chair. In addition, I have chaired a variety of groups (as a representative of the Board of County Commissioners including: the Durham Crime Cabinet which I have co-chaired since 1997; the Triangle Transit Authority Board which I currently chair (and served as chair in the 90's); the Transportation Advisory Board, currently vice-chair; the North Carolina Association of Counties Intergovernmental Relations Steering Committee, Chair since 2010; NC Association of Counties Board of Directors since 2010. I also helped start the East Durham Children's Initiative (EDCI) three years ago and currently serve as the Co-Chair. These and other leadership roles over the years have given me major policy setting and leadership responsibilities. (For more information on my governmental and civic activities, please see my website.)
2. How do you define yourself politically and how does your political philosophy show itself in your past achievements and present campaign platform?
I am a pragmatic progressive who works to develop coalitions to get things done. I have taken the approach in my past actions that government can improve people's lives and I work to develop viable cost effective solutions often working in partnership with the private sector. Examples are the employer-based Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program which I initiated in 2000 and recently met its ten year goal of reducing vehicle miles travelled by 15%; and the East Durham Children's Initiative, which I helped start and serve as Co-chair, that has raised private foundation funds to create a pipeline of services from cradle to career in the poorest neighborhood in Durham. My campaign platform reflects the fact that I take an active approach to addressing the issues facing Durham County. I recognize that government alone cannot solve many of the difficult issues that we face so I work to create community and intergovernmental partnerships to address our needs.
3. List the three most important issues facing Durham, in order of priority. If elected, how will you address these issues? Please be specific.
Provide a sound education for all children
Promote sustainable economic development
Enhance safety for all neighborhoods
Education:Work with the school board and community agencies to provide a sound education forallchildren to prepare them for college or career by closing the achievement gap and continuing to improve the high school graduation rate. This will require a more coordinated approach to assure that children are better prepared for kindergarten and that students finish elementary school reading and doing math on grade level. We need to provide expanded pre-kindergarten services with the goal of serving all disadvantaged 4 year olds to assure that more children arrive at school ready to learn. (This will require more than a doubling of the number of children served.) We should also use theBecominggrant to reconnect 16 to 21 year old disconnected youth with educational and other support services. If the East Durham Children's Initiative shows positive results from its continuum of cradle to career services, we should consider expansion to other neighborhoods with high poverty.
Sustainable Economic Development: Promote economic development and prepare our citizens to take the jobs coming to our area. Provide expanded literacy training and lifelong learning opportunities so our citizens are ready for the jobs of the future. Use information technology to better link the unemployed with new jobs. Be more proactive in recruiting companies that match the skill sets that we have. Focus on sustainable development strategies including expansion of transit service, open space preservation, energy conservation, and historic preservation.
Safe Neighborhoods: Continue to work with criminal justice agencies to implement the recommendations of the Crime Cabinet (that I co-chair), to make all of Durham's neighborhoods safe. Promote greater cooperation and collaboration between the police and sheriff. Expand the use of information technology and information sharing among criminal justice agencies. Increase the number of Community Watch groups and consider extending the PACs into the county. Consider the Crime Cabinet's recommendation to increase penalties for crimes committed with a firearm. Evaluate programs regularly for their efficacy.
4. Identify a principled stand you might be willing to take if elected, that you know would cost you popularity points with voters.
I think we should revisit city and county consolidation in the next four years since there are many overlapping services and duplication of effort that could save us money and make government services more effective.
5. Please describe how you handled a difficult decision in your community leadership experience or career. What were the possible consequences of the decision you made? Looking back, please explain whether you are still comfortable with how you handled the situation, or how you would change your actions.
About ten years ago I voted against moving the proposed charter for city county consolidation forward to a vote. I agonized about that decision since I had been a proponent of consolidation. However, the charter commission did not follow the recommendation of the Merger Issue Task Force on a key recommendation. The Task Force had recommended that there be an urban services district and a rural services district. The Charter Commission recommended that the City limits be extended to the county line. That was a deal breaker but it was tough since I knew it would kill any prospect for merger for a long time.
6. Last fall, voters approved new sales taxes to generate new revenue for the Durham Public Schools and for mass transit in the county. Did you vote for or against these measures? Please explain why.
I voted in favor of both measures and I worked actively for their passage. The cent tax for education will fund the following: expansion of Pre-K classes for disadvantaged four year olds; replacement of $6.2 million of federal stimulus funds to retain school based personnel; and scholarships for Durham Technical Community College for high school graduates and adults who need retraining. I pushed actively for us to fund a full continuum of educational services since there is evidence that children who come to school ready for kindergarten do better. Also, by providing funding for college, we give Durham students hope that they can go on to higher education.
The 1/2 cent transit tax is essential to fund the Durham County transit plan. The plan has three components: expansion of bus service; provision of commuter rail by 2019 to connect to Research Triangle Park and Raleigh and points east; and light rail service between Durham and Chapel Hill. With the expected 60% increase in Durham County's population by 2040, we will definitely need mobility options to avoid congestion.
7. The newly adopted Durham County Strategic Plan identifies the need in Durham County to expand residents' access to technology. As a commissioner, how would you work toward this goal and how would you finance the efforts?
We have provided extensive computer access at our new branch libraries. The main library will be renovated in the next 5 years and I expect that computer access will be expanded there also. Through our award winning Computers4Kids program, we refurbish computers that the county has discontinued using and make them available to students in the Durham Public Schools who were recommended by the school social worker. We have provided 400 computers in the past two years and will provide another 200 this summer. Unfortunately, some of the families cannot afford internet access. That appears to be changing. Due to pressure to close the digital divide, companies (including Time Warner) are rolling out $10/month internet service for families with children who quality for free and reduced lunch. I have also advocated for keeping our schools open evenings and during the summer for programming so our schools serve as community hubs. The community could then use the school computer labs after hours. By using existing community resources more wisely, we can expand access without large expenditures.
8. What are the pros and cons of the county's economic incentives program? How would you amend it? What oversight mechanisms are in place to ensure companies adhere to the policy? Are those oversight mechanisms sufficient?
While I wish that we did not have to provide incentives, we cannot compete successfully on the national stage to bring companies like Merck or AW North Carolina to Durham without incentives. We also run the risk of losing existing firms as they look to expand if we don't have incentives. The County's economic incentives program has generally been successful.
I have worked to tailor our economic development incentive program to encourage new companies to hire Durham residents. We have required companies to work with our Work First program at the Department of Social Services and the Job Link Center to hire Durham residents who need jobs. We also now break the incentive into parts where a company gets a base incentive but can only get the full amount if they hire a certain number of Durham residents.
The policy is generally sound. We have a contract with companies that receive incentives and when they don't comply with the terms of the contract they do not receive all or part of the incentive. That has happened a few times. While I did ask for a full accounting of our incentives program and results last year, I think the policy needs to be amended to have an annual report provided to the commissioners regularly regarding the status of projects.
9. What incentives would be appropriate in persuading the commercial and industrial sectors to cut their greenhouse gas emissions? The residential sector? Durham County in 2007 adopted a Greenhouse Gas Emissions plan, but at what point will Durham need to take more aggressive steps in emissions reductions?
According to our plan, approximately 60% of the community greenhouse gas emissions are generated by the residential, commercial and industrial sectors with commercial representing half of the total. Clearly, promoting energy conservation for existing and new buildings is important. I am proud that Durham County has led the way by adopting a High Performance Design Policy over a decade ago. Since then, every new and renovated county building has been LEAD certified. We are currently striving for Gold designation for both the new courthouse and the human service complex. The County was also instrumental in getting the Durham Public Schools to adopt a high performance goal for their new buildings.
Efforts we are making to promote energy conservation for commercial and industrial buildings include: partnership with the Million Solar Roofs Initiative to promote energy conservation in commercial, industrial, institutional and residential buildings; extra economic development incentive funds (in our Economic Development Policy) are available for companies that use energy conserving features; and partnership with the Triangle Green Business Challenge starting in April to engage all businesses in sustainable practices. We are also investigating partnering with the Living City Block effort that has been successful in downtown Denver and initiating a similar project in downtown Durham. For residential uses, we are wrapping up the Neighborhood Energy Retrofit Program and Home Energy Savings Program. We will have retrofitted 700 homes in Durham. We will continue an energy outreach program to homeowners in partnership with Clean Energy Durham.
10. Crime and safety is a large component of county government. What are your priorities for improvements in pre- and post-conviction services, such as prisoner re-entry programs and diversion programs for juveniles? How will you fund those priorities? How will you measure the success of those programs?
I support diversion programs for juveniles to keep them out of the youth home and other institutional placements. A few months ago, I attended a workshop organized by Chief District Court Judge Marcia Morey to discuss improving outcomes for delinquent youth. All the data indicate that it is cost effective to provide community based interventions whenever possible and reduce incarcerations. A pilot in Union County using risk assessments and graduated sanctions reduced incarcerations a great deal and saved the County $120,000 in six months. Similar savings could be used to fund a program in Durham. At the end of the meeting we brainstormed about no cost and low cost steps we could take in Durham to get such a program going. I hope that our new Chief of Juvenile Services will bring forward a new approach in the near future. Success would be measured by reducing juvenile offenses and recidivism.
I also support reentry programs. Our Criminal Justice Resource Center, considered the best in the state, has run a number of successful reentry programs. We have applied and will continue to apply for grants to fund these programs. In addition, the county has stepped up and provided jobs for folks coming out of the prison system. We have also directed the County Manager to remove the box asking for criminal background on county employment forms to give people an opportunity to get an interview and explain their history before a criminal background check is done. Success with these programs would be reduction of recidivism and ability to retain a job.
11. Among the most controversial issues to test the commissioners in recent years is development. Please explain the philosophy that will guide your decisions on development while serving as a county commissioner, and also share your definition of smart growth.
Smart growth generally values long range considerations of sustainability to protect the quality of life for future generations. The approach is to avoid sprawl and focus development in walkable, bicycle –friendly neighborhoods and mixed use developments served by transit.
My philosophy regarding development is to follow the comprehensive plan and the related transportation, transit, open space, and bike/pedestrian plans. Intense development should be focused in the downtown core, special activity nodes like Research Triangle Park, and along our transit corridors. We should promote historic preservation, rejuvenation of inner city neighborhoods, energy conservation, multi-modal transportation, preservation of open space and greenways, and protection of environmentally sensitive areas and farmland.

Willdan Energy Solutions
A subsidiary of Willdan Group, Inc.
Southern California Edison School Energy Efficiency Program classroom lighting project
From primary schools to graduate research institutions, schools and universities consume energy in unique and distinctive ways. Unlike other markets, where energy efficiency decisions are driven primarily by potential cost savings, schools—especially higher education—often experience increased demand for sustainability from student bodies. To these ends, our team understands that energy tracking and communication efforts must convey both cost savings and environmental benefits.
We combine deep school facility knowledge, unparalleled program management expertise and a clear understanding of each school's local market to help schools develop and implement energy saving programs without cutting staff or services. Willdan has worked with many stakeholders in the education sector including teachers, students, staff, administrators and facilities managers to produce energy savings through a broad range of strategies including behavioral changes, direct retrofits, performance contracting and ECM financing.
Contact Jennifer Varnau, (713) 465-1813
Capturing the full potential of energy efficiency improvements that exist in most higher education facilities takes considerable planning, budgeting, and execution of a long range master plan. Willdan, through Abacus Resource Management (which joined Willdan in 2015) has been applying this comprehensive approach at Central Washington University for the past 30 years.
We have helped them plan, budget, and execute over $30M in facility improvements. The energy savings have grown to 10 million KWH of electricity and one million therms of natural gas per year. This represents an annual avoided cost of $1M per year and a cumulative cost savings of nearly $15M over the past 30 years. The more significant benefit to the University has been keeping their facilities in top shape for their students.
ESCO projects at CWU have included, among others:

Man Wants Donated Kidney Back
As part of their divorce settlement, a doctor in New York state is requesting the return of a kidney he donated to his wife in 2001!
The unnamed doctor will, however, settle for $1.5 million. Link -Thanks, Gigi1!
Update: Here's a link with more information on the story.
The doctor claims his wife began having an affair sometime after the transplant.
"We were in a million-dollar home, I was a full-time surgeon, full-time father and a dedicated husband. And I saved her life, and there's nothing bad about what I did, I'd do it again. But the pain is unbearable," the doctor said.

She cheated, so does half of america, get over it. He's completely insane if he thinks he's getting either the kidney or 1.5 million. He gave her the kidney in order to help the marriage which he knew was on bad terms anyway he should be happy that his children still have a mother and that they dont have to go through life with an idiot father who probably works to much. Who would have no time to pay attention to them. These two are idiots and what is wrong with todays society always asking ok when do i get mine? He is total jacka**
..i thinkk he is so dumb! lol.. and need to get over it .. he just want to make it more painful then what it is ..oh get over it!
Its his mistake and now has to live with it.He should of put more thought into it before making such a huge decision.
He shouldn't get his kidney back, because its not like he is going to be using it anyways, he gave it to his wife when they were on good terms and he shouldnt worry about his kidney when his marriage is falling apart. she should defanitly keep the kidney her husband is an asshole anyways, kCoOlz! :)
this is stupid his is the only one been divorsed, so suck it up.

I thought this was a photoshop joke at first, but I'm pretty sure it's a real poster for Spike Jonze's "Her," a movie I was going to see anyway but now apparently I ABSOLUTELY MUST. LOOK AT ALL THOSE PALM FRONDS!
On a related note, I wonder if Scarlett Johansson could get a Best Supporting Actress nod for doing voicework alone in a movie. Has that happened before? I can't remember the last time a disembodied voice played such a pivotal role in a film, so probably not.
I'm glad Joaquin Phoenix stopped pretending to be crazy and started acting again. Or just channeled his craziness into crazy roles like this one and The Master.

The following are updates of some things I wrote on this blog 8 years ago:
Since elementary school I have been a member, in excellent standing, of the species Bookwormicus Americana, a critter that some researchers periodically think is nearing extinction but always seems to get in the mood for procreation and rebounds quite nicely, thank you very much!
As a Bookworm of impeccable credentials and long-standing I have seen the ups and downs of the book business and the ever-changing tastes of the reading public.
Many of the books in my collection are more than 400 pages long and some are twice, three times, that, so it amuses me when I see the look of fright on some folks faces at the thought of reading something more than 250 pages long, and/or more complex than a Stephen King novel.
I started out reading Hardy Boy and Nancy Drew books, then mysteries and horror, then Star Trek.
As my interest in history, politics and then movies, and later creative writing, poetry, classic American books, cycling, hiking, walking, cooking, cats, humor, Houston, Texas, faith and inspiration took hold my tastes in reading choices have changed accordingly.
Can I get a rousing AMEN BROTHER! from the congregation?
"I have always felt that it was commendable to buy books. I grew up with a liking for reading my own books, instead of someone else's. This preference I still have. I have my books strictly for use. I turn down the pages. I even tear out a few, if I need them. Books that I really use are much the worse for wear when I get through with them. I always mark them. When I read one of them a second time, which I seldom do, I generally can't remember what I meant by the marks I put in it the first time. But it gives you a feeling of having dug deep into the book, and it intensifies your sense of the ownership of it, to make big black marks down the side of it as you read. So I have always felt that one should buy as many books as possible. They are not like food, of which one should buy only as much as one can consume at the moment. Nor like clothes, of which a wise man will buy as few and as cheap as he can get by with. But of books he should buy all he can."
Rev. Carl S. Patton's opening paragraph in THE BUYING OF BOOKS from the Feb. 1922 issue of The Atlantic Monthly.
I read this paragraph for the first time in 8 years and see myself...still.

Hartford Board of Education President Carmen Rodriguez says she is willing to talk all summer if that's what it takes to come to an agreement with teachers to close the board's budget gap. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. If September rolls around without an agreement, students will have to start the year with their schools in chaos, stripped of almost every kind of support people.
School board members are feeling hopeful. Perhaps now that classes have ended, each side has had time to reflect and the emotional temperature on both sides has gone down a bit. The danger now is that the summer could turn into an extended game of chicken involving the board, the union and the City Council. The union is said to be ready to make concessions as long as the council does its part by contributing $2 million in aid that it received from the Legislature at the end of its last session. The council doesn't want to give the money until it is assured that the teachers' union will agree to givebacks.

The Watcher
The Watcher is the protagonist of the story and a player character (PC) created and run by a player, who directly decides the character's actions. It is distinguished from Companions and Adventurers, people who accompany the protagonist on their journey, which are player controlled as well; and non-player characters, the people and creatures that populate the world that player characters interact with.
The story follows your main character, so your character is always the primary party speaker in conversations and all skill and attribute checks will be done by the main character. However, companions will interject when it makes sense for them to do so(as in the Infinity Engine games)[1][2]
Customization[edit | edit source]
At the beginning of the game, the player is able to create and customize his or her character. Your character is not required to be of any particular race, cultural background, sex, class, moral outlook, personality, organization, etc. The premise is that you are a victim of circumstance. How you choose to deal with your situation is up to you. You can bear it with stoicism and restraint or fly off in a rage at anyone who gets in your way. The world will react to your choices, but the game is designed to give you the freedom to play your character the way you want to.[2]
Experience and Advancement[edit | edit source]
See Experience and Advancement page.
Watcher Abilities[edit | edit source]

Sever the Soul: 1 per Rest Speed: Average Area of Effect: 2.5m(base) Interrupt: 0.5(Average) Effects: Foe Target Weakened for 10 sec
Unique Talents[edit | edit source]
The Watcher has access to some bonus talents not available to any other character or companion. These are often given out as quest rewards depending on the quest's outcome. For a list of these extra talents, see the Talent page.
Story[edit | edit source]
The player is traveling through the Eastern Reach with a ragtag caravan making its way toward the Gilded Vale, when the caravan must stop for the night and camp by the edge of a forest, near some ancient ruins. Unfortunately, you've decided to make camp in the wrong part of the woods, and soon your party is ambushed.
The player witnesses an extraordinary and horrific supernatural event that thrusts them into a unique and difficult circumstance. Burdened with the consequences of this event, the player must investigate what has happened in order to free themselves from the restless forces that follow and haunt them wherever they go.

Welcome to another exciting school year! This is my 2nd year at Mankato East and I am thrilled to be here!
My name is Tim Meegan. I am married and have two boys, ages 12 and 7. In my spare time I enjoy camping, hiking, reading, and playing history/strategy video games.
I am a national board certified teacher with 14 years' experience teaching social studies. I spent my first 12 years at Roosevelt High School in Chicago, where I taught World History, AP Human Geography, Latin American history, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Civics in the past. I earned my BA in History at Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, IL, and my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction at National Louis University. I am particularly interested in human geography, social justice, and local politics.
Learning social studies is important for three reasons. Understanding our world is one step in the process of self discovery. In an increasingly complex and interconnected global society, the skills and knowledge acquired in social studies are critical for success. Finally, social studies is key to effective citizenship and self-advocacy. I think all of us owe our children a world that is better than the one we inherited from our parents.
Here is my class schedule. Students, I am available for extra help 3rd, 7th, or before/after school by appointment. Parents please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting you and working with you this year. Let's make it a great one!

Peter Suciu for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
Until the advent of the electric light, cities were not exactly welcoming places after nightfall. Today, street lights make it easier to see the way after the sun goes down, but this is one of the major contributors to light pollution that washes out the night sky.
It has gotten so bad the International Dark-Sky Association held weeklong festivities earlier this month, which was designed to promote ways to help put a dent in light pollution.
Beyond that the night sky is washed out, worse still is the fact the typical incandescent light bulb has changed little since it was invented more than 130 years ago, and is notoriously inefficient. However, researchers from Taiwan and Mexico have reportedly developed a new lighting system for street lights that harnesses LEDs and ensuresthe light only shines where needed, sparing the surrounding homes and even the evening sky from unwanted illumination.
The team reported their findings in the latest issue of the Optical Society´s (OSA) open-access journal Optics Express.
LEDs offer advantages not only in the fact the lighting is more efficient, with less energy lost to unwanted heat, but also in the fact they are more adaptable to different street light lamp designs. This makes it ideal for a variety of street and road uses, where they can provide uniform illumination with high energy efficiency.
The new LED lights won´t just be limited to use on street lights either, as NPD DisplaySearch recently noted demand for LED lighting is growing rapidly thanks to significant expansion in manufacturing capacity, falling prices, environmental concerns and government incentives. The research firm´s LED Light Market and Forecast Report predicts LED lighting applications will double the market from 16 million units in 2012 to a forecasted 33 million in 2013, and could triple by 2016.
"LEDs are playing a leading role in the lighting industry, driven primarily by government incentive policies and consumer demand for more efficient light sources with advanced technologies such as wireless and color control," said Steven Sher, analyst, NPD DisplaySearch. "This increased demand will manifest over the next three years, as consumers look to replace their traditional light bulbs with more efficient LED lighting options."
New, efficient lighting methods could thus be used to help make roads safer.
The Taiwanese-led study, which was conducted at the National Central University, found a new design that could be used for different illumination requests while maintaining high efficiency. This could involve a three-part lighting fixture, where clusters of LEDS, fitted with a special lens — called a Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens, focuses the light so the rays are parallel to one another instead of intersecting. This process is called collimation. These lenses are then mounted inside a reflecting cavity, which can "recycle" the light to ensure that as much of it as possible is used to illuminate the ground below. Finally, the light passes through a diffuser or filter to cut down on unwanted glare.
"A general LED street light could reduce power consumption by 40 to 60 percent," said Ching-Cherng Sun, co-author of the research.
Sun added increased efficiency of the proposed design would likely save an additional ten to 50 percent of the energy, while the module would be simple to fabricate since it comprises just four parts, including a commonly used type of LED bulb.
To date, the team has tested the design´s performance by analyzing how little the beam would spread as it hit its target–a road or sidewalk ten meters or more away from the source of the light, and found in addition to being more efficient, light pollution was also significantly reduced.
Sun´s team will reportedly finish a prototype of the design in the next three to six months. This will be followed by practical installations of the new street lamp as early as next year.
