7 Cardboard Cut-Outs to Put in Your Roommate's Room to Make You Feel Less Alone This Summer
Summer may be concluding here in six weeks, but that's still six weeks that you're lonely and tired of asking your cat her five favorite movies. Cats only want to watch Disney Channel original flicks so it gets repetitive after a while. How many times can one feline watch Brink before they learn to inline skate themselves? Anyway, now that your roommate is gone until who knows when, let's start tossing some frigging cardboard cut-outs up in their room so you feel like you have friends.
7.) Charlie Sheen:
Time to bust out the old tiger's blood references, get a sick face tattoo, and hang out with your favorite version of Charlie Sheen. It'll be much more difficult for anything made entirely of cardboard to develop a severe cocaine addiction so this version will be much tamer. That doesn't mean that he won't be as friendly as your roommate though!
6.) Charlie Day:
Just because he can't read, write, or speak well doesn't mean he can't be a good friend! Think of how many irresponsible things you could do when you get fake Charlie Day drunk? He would probably invent a language, eat some milk steak, and tell you that it's ok because your grandma always loved you.
5.) Charlie of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Fame:
Whenever you get a little lonely, it's always nice to go into your roommate's room and have a little chat with a cardboard cut-out of Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory fame. Maybe even bust out some Keystone Light and poor those right down the side of his two-dimensional face. Man, my grandma used to love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
4.) Charlie Who Bit Someone's Finger:
You know who never bit my finger? Good ol' grandma. The only thing she ever bit into was a good book, maybe some Clive Cussler or John Grisham, before baking her favorite oatmeal raisin cookies.
3.) My (Probably) Dead Grandma:
Shout out, miss you gram.
2.) Charlie Chaplin:
Much like my grandma, Charlie Chaplin has a kind heart, full of warmth and love for Clive Cussler novels. I wonder what grandma is doing right now? I wonder if she misses me as much as I miss her?
1.) Charlie Brown:
Grandma Charlie, please, please come back. My home, your room, feels empty now that you're gone. Dust has begun to gather on your old contact lenses, and your cat won't stop watching Brink, the Disney Channel original movie. He even tried to put on the rollerblades you kept in the dingy closet next to the water heater. You would have loved that.
If anyone has seen my grandmother, please call the authorities. She said she was going to Daytona for the summer and would be back by now, but her Camry is still gone. The only thing hotter than the summer sun is the deep anxiety decaying my fragile heart. I want my roommate back.

Congratulations to our MEA-MFT members in the local Missoula Head Start union, who recently won an important case in district court.
The court ordered Missoula Head Start management to arbitrate a grievance over management's failure to follow the contract with respect to reduction in force (RIF).
According to MEA-MFT Field Consultant Tom Gigstad, the bargained contract requires management to RIF by seniority, but management simply cut every employee by a week.
When the local union filed a grievance, management refused to recognize the grievance because it was filed by a union. The contract language refers to grievances from "employees."
"We said, among other things, 'this is absurd, the union is a group of employees,'" said Gigstad. The court agreed and sided with union members. Fairness prevailed, for now. Management has appealed to the state Supreme Court.

A man has been charged for allegedly robbing a Leavenworth convenience store at knifepoint, a prosecution official said.
A man has been charged for allegedly robbing a Leavenworth convenience store at knifepoint, a prosecution official said.
Donail Foster, 35, is charged with aggravated robbery and aggravated kidnapping, according to County Attorney Todd Thompson.
He was arrested Sunday morning. He is accused of robbing Woody's Gas Express, 1031 Metropolitan Ave. A 22-year-old clerk at the store reportedly suffered cuts as result of a struggle during the robbery. He was treated at a hospital and released, according to Lt. Chris Kear of the Leavenworth Police Department.
The incident was reported at 8:20 a.m. Sunday.
Kear said the clerk had been approached by someone in a disguise. Kear did not provide additional details about the disguise.
The suspect reportedly was armed with a knife and went around the store counter. He allegedly demanded money from the clerk.
"The clerk gave him some money and then eventually gave him the whole cash drawer," Kear said.
The struggle ensued and the suspect eventually left the store, according to Kear.
About the time officers arrived at the scene of the robbery, police received a report of a car accident in the 900 block of Cheyenne Street.
Kear said an eastbound Dodge Charger reportedly had struck several parked vehicles.
Kear said the driver of the Charger was seen carrying items from his car into an alley. Witnesses reported the driver, who turned out to be Foster, placed items in an open shed located off of the alley.
Foster reportedly returned to his vehicle. In the shed, officers found a cash drawer that's believed to have been the one taken during the robbery. Police also found a jacket that's believed to have been worn by the suspect during the robbery, Kear said.
Witnesses also reported to police that Foster attempted to hide a knife in the ground near his car.
"He had stabbed it into the ground," Kear said.
Police recovered the knife, which they believe was the one used in the robbery.
Kear said the kidnapping allegation stems from the clerk reportedly being detained by the suspect during the robbery.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Hundreds of nurses in the San Francisco Bay area were braving rain showers to walk picket lines after going on strike Tuesday, union officials said.
Registered nurses, respiratory technicians and X-ray technicians at eight hospitals operated by Sutter Health walked off the job around 7 a.m. in what will be a two-day strike, said California Nurses Association spokesman Chuck Idelson. Nurses at two San Jose hospitals operated by Hospital Corporation of America went on strike for one day.
The strike, the seventh by CNA since September 2011, came as union leaders and hospital officials remained at odds over health benefits, sick leave and other issues.
Union officials say the hospitals want to reduce the number of paid sick days for nurses and technicians, while eliminating health care coverage for those who work less than 30 hours a week.
"Hundreds of employees would lose their health coverage entirely, which is immorally unconscionable by a health care employer," Idelson said.
Hospital officials say they've made a fair contract offer to the nurses, but because of difficult economic times and changes in health care trends, they need to control costs.
"We are going through an incredibly difficult economic time in our country," said Carolyn Kemp, a spokeswoman for Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Oakland, one of the Sutter hospitals hit by the strike.
"Teachers, firefighters and others are making concessions. We have a very, very healthy contract out there," she said.
As in past strikes by the CNA, union leaders and hospital executives also disagreed on the number of nurses who either took part in the strike, or the number of nurses crossing over the picket lines.
Idelson said there was "very high level of participation despite the rain," while Kemp said that 80 percent of the nurses showed up for work at the Summit campus.
The hospitals have hired replacements on five-day contracts during the strike, another sticking issue between the two sides.
Because of the contracts, hospital officials say the striking nurses won't be allowed to return to work until Sunday.
Tuesday's strike adds to a growing list of recent strikes in Northern California, including one that began Monday night by custodial and maintenance workers at Oakland International Airport and at the Port of Oakland.
Earlier this month, union workers as West Sacramento-based grocery chain Raley's walked off the job — the first strike in the company's 77-year-history — and nurses at Sonoma County's Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital walked off the job for three days — the second strike in a month, and only the second strike at the hospital since 1986.

What people said about their Meditation experiences!
< Dianna's Meditation Story >
When I started this Meditation, at the time I "thought" I was in a reasonably good place. My friend introduced me and I only began because I was curious. From the very first session, I knew I would go through to the end, completion. It just made so much sense to me.
I immediately noticed that after every meditation, I could see changes happening in my life. I felt calmer, more peaceful, more centred and my relationships were improving and growing. I felt much happier and without specifically focussing on it, my health began to improve.
The main thing that I have noticed about doing this Meditation is that the Method works. No matter what, I always follow the Method because it works. It's very simple but very profound, just follow the method.
I have been doing the Meditation for 12 months now and I am in Level 6, and the process becomes deeper and richer at every level. Be patient and diligent and the results will speak for themselves. Thank you for the Method that has been given and for the Helpers who help all of us.
< Catherine's Meditation Story >
I started at this Meditation about 2 years ago. At that time I was very sad and depressed, young single mum. I felt I was suffocating with the responsibility of looking after a child. Wanting to still have that freedom I felt I had lost. First brochure I got was at the local library then a couple of months later I grabbed another at the clothes shop and decided to go for a seminar. After hearing the seminar I started straight away.
After 2 months of following the method, I confirmed level 1. It was everything, knowing the universe is me, my mind is false and I am living as a picture in a false world. Knowing that I really needed to do this study until the end. Going through the levels I experienced ups and downs however I knew it was just my mind and it needed to be discarded. You just need to follow the method, discard and realization comes naturally.
Please stop suffering in your picture world. Come and try the subtraction method, come out of your stress and burden live as who you truly are with true joy, freedom, liberation and happiness. Thank you to the method and thank you to all the teachers and helpers.
I am eternally grateful.
Thank you.

Mark Whitlock, founder and president of Mark's Outdoor Sports and a longtime conservationist, died Wednesday afternoon after a two-year battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
By Alan Clemons, Managing Editor
Whitlock, 52, founded the popular and well-known outdoors store in 1979 in Vestavia, a suburb south of Birmingham, Ala. Nestled in a strip mall on an incredibly busy highway a mile or so from a major interstate, he saw the growth of the small store into a jam-packed powerhouse retail business that won numerous local, state and national awards for sales and service standards.
But more importantly, Whitlock was a staunch conservationist and giver to his community, the state and the outdoors industry. For all the things he did publicly, Whitlock did many more privately and behind the scenes to help individuals, organizations and his church community without regard for accolade or recognition.
In 2010, Whitlock became the first two-time "Gold Award" recipient from the Alabama Retail Association for "Annual Sales of More than $5 Million." Nine people or companies nominated Whitlock for the award, which he also won in 2008. Mark's Outdoor Sports offers consumers the most recognizable fishing, hunting and firearms brands in the industry but also has embraced smaller "Mom 'n Pop" items from Alabama producers.
Whitlock's annual turkey, fishing and hunting days in spring and autumn attracted thousands of visitors to hobnob with industry notables. Joe and Jill Lunchbucket could come and chill out with Harold Knight, David Hale, Will Primos or some of the top professional bass anglers in the country. It was like a big outdoors party.
Whitlock founded the Lay Lake Open, known among anglers as "Mark's tournament," on the famed Coosa River impoundment and eventually had to cap the field entries after more than 700 boats registered for a couple of years. Anglers registered for years in advance. Top bass pros were paired with in-store contest drawing winners to compete in the tournament. Whitlock's vendors gave away thousands of rods, reels, lures and other goodies to fans who attended the weigh-ins.
But the tournament wasn't just about products and brands. Fishing teams had to take bags of bass fingerlings to their first fishing hole and deposit them there before they could start fishing. The stocking program helped Lay Lake, over the course of more than a decade, become one of the best on the river.
"The first year or two that we did the tournament, I realized they were just dumping out the fingerlings there at the launch area," Whitlock told me a few years ago. "That didn't help a bit! So we told 'em they couldn't start fishing until they had put the fish out at the first stop."
On Christmas Eve 2006, Whitlock and his wife received word that their 18-year old daughter had been involved in a serious vehicle accident. She was declared dead at the scene and forensic specialists began their work. Then a paramedic saw her move, slightly, and they began working frantically to save her life. They did. Read about it here.
Four years later, Whitlock was hit with another stunner when diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Through everything associated with that disease, Whitlock never gave in to the "Why me?" lamentations so many of us might proclaim. He always shrugged it off, battled valiantly, carried on at work, home, church and wherever as best he could.
I talked with two longtime friends Wednesday who were grieving at the loss of their friend and associate. Outdoors industry folks can get tight, and friendships develop that go way beyond selling crankbaits or churning out media content. Amid all the hustle, bustle and sometimes ugly side of the industry – and like any industry, there are good and ugly sides – there always are a few bonds that grow stronger and run deeper.
We lose good folks in our industry every day, folks who make impacts great and small, public and private. They become threads woven into our lives and then when tugged away, we're left a little less whole. If you know someone like this who is important in your life, tell them you appreciate them, love them and are thankful for them.
A visitation period will be Friday, May 18, at 1 p.m. at The Church at Brook Hills, followed by a memorial service at 2 p.m. there.
Some comments from Facebook:
"For those of us in the retail tackle industry, we know Mark's Outdoors as the benchmark. Our thoughts are with his family and employees." — Darrell Newman, Keller's Tackle & Grocery in New Hope, Ala.
"The fishing world lost a good person today. I gave him a big hug at the Mark's Outdoors event 2 weeks ago. He will be missed." — Mark Menendez, professional angler, Paducah, Ky.
"Our thoughts go out to the Mark Whitlock family. God bless him." — West End Outdoors, Athens, Ala.
"What an incredible icon in our industry and community as well as (a) great family man who loved his kids and wife. I have great respect for Mark and all he stood for – sometimes without realizing it until he was sick and I reflected on things. I had the great fortune of learning from the best there has been and feel very blessed to have had the chance to do that. I will miss Mark." — Geoff Walker, former Mark's Outdoor Sports employee and outdoors industry rep

You would have to be living in a hole not to have heard about the video footage of a Range Rover plowing through a group of motorcyclists, and the chase through New York that ensued afterwards.
I say this not because the video has been the highest trafficked article on Asphalt & Rubber this week so far, though it is; nor do I say this because the video has been posted to virtually every motorcycle forum and blog on the internet, though it has; but instead because the video has elevated itself out of our obscure sport and into the national, if not international, public consciousness.
It is rare that motorcycling finds its way into mass media, and unfortunately it is rarely a good thing when it does so. Motorcycling by and large has an image problem in the United States. Few motorists commute via motorcycle, which means our industry is filled with people who come to motorcycles from either a hobby, sport, or lifestyle perspective, and because of this motorcycles remain on the fringe of mainstream society.
For some, that is the allure. Motorcycling is "something different' which in turns allows a motorcyclist to express their individuality in an obvious manner. To illustrate this point, I am fairly certain that the vast majority of flame threads that start on forums and blogs can be boiled down to the premise that because your enjoyment of motorcycles is different from my enjoyment of motorcycles, it therefore must be wrong.

A Klamath man was sentenced Oct. 18 in Humboldt County Superior Court to two years in state prison for attempting to stab a California game warden.
Brandon Jon Proctor, 25, earlier pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon.
On Sept. 25, 2012, while investigating an unrelated elk poaching incident in Orick, warden Paul Weldon was flagged down by a frantic couple with a flat tire. The motorists pointed to Proctor and shouted that Proctor had slashed their tire with a knife.
Warden Weldon stopped to assist them and attempted to detain Proctor.
Proctor attempted to stab Weldon with a hunting knife. Weldon was able to disarm Proctor and take him into custody.
The motorists told Weldon that Proctor threatened them with the knife. Proctor had a prior felony conviction for assault.

Researchers at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) have received and analysed navigation signals transmitted from the first GPS 'IIF' satellite using the 30-metre antenna at the German Space Operations Centre, GSOC, in Weilheim.
The satellite, which has been in orbit since 27 May 2010, is transmitting a signal in the L5 band – the third civilian frequency range – for the first time, and promises to enhance the reliability and accuracy of the navigation service. DLR possesses a globally unique capacity for the analysis of such signals – and expertise that will make future fine-tuning and corrections to the satellite possible.
Signal for even more precise and reliable navigation
"In future, the L5 signal will play a central role in satellite navigation and especially in aircraft navigation, where safety is critical," explains Dr Michael Meurer from the DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation (Institut für Kommunikation und Navigation). The L5 signal is the third civilian GPS signal to be transmitted, and the second in the aircraft navigation frequency band. As with the standard L1 signal, this signal lies within a frequency range reserved for aeronautical radio navigation services. The use of the two signals together enables the elimination of propagation errors caused by the ionosphere, which affect the accuracy of the system. The ionosphere is an atmospheric layer that begins at about 80 kilometres above the Earth's surface and it contains large quantities of ions and free electrons. Radio signals, even in the higher frequency range where a GPS satellite transmits, decelerate when they pass through this layer, causing errors to arise in position determination. Transmission of the signal at two different frequencies allows the correction of these errors, with the result that position determination becomes more precise and reliable. Over the next two to three years, a total of twelve new GPS 'IIF' satellites will be launched.
Navigation satellites orbit at altitudes in excess of 20,000 kilometres and the navigation signal transmitter power is roughly equivalent to that of a domestic light bulb. When they arrive at Earth's surface, the signals are so weak that they are lost in the thermal noise. The navigation signals are specially encoded, so that a GPS receiver can extract the signal from the noise using correlation.
Using DLR's 30-metre antenna at Weilheim, the researchers can detect the signals without needing to use the encoding and correlation to extract them from the noise. The antenna has a gain of 150,000 and when it is aligned with a particular satellite, the signals stand out clearly from the noise. This allows the researchers to perform analyses of the signals that would be impossible with a conventional navigational receiver. This requires complicated calibration of the equipment and extensive processing of the measurement data. This expertise, developed by DLR, is used in co-operation with the European Space Agency in order to verify and optimise the navigational signals for Galileo, the European satellite navigation system. In addition, joint measurements and analyses are carried out with Stanford University as part of DLR's international cooperation.

Trendsetters: Student Leaders
by Mike Vogel
Posted 5/1/2010
Updated 6 yearss ago
Rene Diaz, 22
Senior, University of Central Florida, Orlando
Sax days: Diaz played sax at Coral Reef Senior High in Miami.
Defining moment: A ride on Mission: Space at Epcot. "I hate to be cliché, (but) it was a life-changing moment for me. While I did love music, I wanted to make a difference in the space industry."
Family: Diaz's parents are civil engineers, Cubans educated in Azerbaijan when it was still part of the USSR. Seeing no future in communism, they came here from Cuba with Diaz when he was 4.
This summer: A research program at Caltech
Diaz decided to be the expert in things like mining helium 3 ions on the moon for fusion fuel. As a freshman, he volunteered his way onto a research project and wound up with a published paper, the goal of grad students and doctoral candidates everywhere. Diaz is on track for a double major in mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering in 2011. He has worked on a couple of research projects, is UCF chapter president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and is vice president of the ASME's student board for the Southeast U.S.
President Obama's nixing of NASA's manned moon and Mars plans was a "very disappointing" moment for Diaz. But he hopes an international lunar effort might replace a NASA solo venture. "Therefore, I will continue my work in this moon mining development and focusing on the advocacy of this coalition of nations for an international lunar base," he says.

Eva Sevilla, 20
A budding civil engineer from Key Biscayne, Eva Sevilla interned last summer at the federal Energy Department's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, home to 11 Nobel laureates, in Berkeley, Calif. She researched energy efficiency in commercial buildings. That led to her being among the top 100 Energy Department interns to present their research at a department national competition. Outside the lab, she won the college's President's Volunteer Service Award last year. She also co-founded the college chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers.
Profitable Enterprise
Jessica Welch, 21
As president of Flagler College's Students in Free Enterprise, Jessica Welch and her team won the organization's 2009 national championship. SIFE teams create projects that teach free-market economics, business ethics, entrepreneurship, personal finance and success skills. The Flagler team's 20 projects included an ethics program that created anti-theft and customer service training videos for retail franchisor Winmark's 9,000 employees and franchise owners in North America. Welch also headed a success skills project for Nepalese refugees in north Florida.
Nursing a Career
Safichia Chew, 21
Nursing student Safichia Chew of Miramar wants to earn a doctorate to be a family nurse practitioner and pursue a clinical research career. She's made a good start as one of 13 students chosen nationally for a National Institutes of Health scholarship that includes a paid summer research post and at least one further year in research training and employment at NIH. She plans to research health disparities, especially among newborns, in the minority community.

PARIS (AP) — Hundreds of French nationalists have demonstrated in Paris against Islamist extremism, chanting the French anthem and saying the religion has no place in the country.
Protester Romain Cyiril says, "France was always a welcoming country, but for the first time we have to deal with a religion which can't and doesn't want to integrate itself."
Three weeks ago, dozens of far-right French activists stormed an unfinished mosque to protest immigration policies that have made France home to Western Europe's largest population of Muslims. There are an estimated 5 million or more Muslims in this nation of 65 million, although under French law the government does not track religion.
The French government has denounced anti-Islam extremists.
Saturday's protest was organized by a nationalist group called the Republican Resistance.

They see the gap in his work history, say he is overqualified for jobs not needing a degree or tell him he has no experience yet. What are people supposed to do? He sends his resume out to companies constantly to no avail."
'HEROES': "Murph: The Protector" is showing at Spartan 16, and Ron Taylor of Boiling Springs says it is a must-see documentary. "It is the story of Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Michael Murphy, who joined the U.S. Navy to join the SEALs," says Mr. Taylor. "Many are aware of the story of fellow SEAL Marcus Luttrell, who was the lone survivor of Operation Redwing on June 28, 2005, in Afghanistan. Lt. Murphy was the leader of that four-man team, and seeing his men being overrun and having already been wounded himself, with radio communication down, he walked into an open area to call in support for his troops in full view of the Taliban and knowing he was in mortal danger. After placing the call, Lt. Murphy was in fact mortally wounded, leaving Luttrell to become the only member of the team to survive. Many readers may also know that in response to Lt. Murphy's call for assistance, the rest of SEAL Team 10, stationed nearby, immediately boarded a helicopter to go rescue their teammates. Sadly, that helicopter was downed by the Taliban, and everyone aboard was killed. This movie is not to look at the bad things that happened but to celebrate the good, the bravery and leadership of these heroes who gave their lives in the service of our country."

The now infamous White House party crashers spoke out for the first time this morning on NBC's The Today Show. Bravo TV, creators of the Real Housewives Franchise, is also owned by NBC Universal, the parent company of NBC.
Michaele and Tareq Salahi told the "Today" show Tuesday that there's more to their side of the story — an explanation that would exonerate them from allegations of misconduct in the breach of White House security. When asked to expand on the explanation, they failed to, claiming they wanted to would wait until the Secret Service was done investigating. However, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, appearing on the same program, insisted the Salahis had not been invited.
Tareq Salahi said he and his wife were cooperating with the Secret Service in its investigation of the incident. And he said they both have "great respect" for President Barack Obama. "We're greatly saddened by all the circumstances … portraying my wife and I as party crashers. I can tell you we did not party-crash the White House," Salahi said.
The couple also made it clear they were not being paid for their Today Show interview, and also denied the recent AP news story which alleged they were looking to cash in on their new "fame."
In other news, a different report claims Bravo might be having second thoughts about casting the Salahis to appear on their upcoming show, the Real Housewives of Washington D.C. According to Popeater, a huge fight erupted within Bravo's New York offices yesterday over what to do with accused White House crashers. Andy Cohen, host and Senior Vice president of Original Programming of Bravo, is said to be worried about the reputation of his Emmy nominated network. Allegedly, Andy wants no part of the fame hungry couple and wants them axed from the upcoming 'Real Housewives of DC.
A Bravo spokes person said, "The decision as to who will be included in 'The Real Housewives of D.C.' will not be made for several months."
If this story is true about Bravo wanting no part of the Salahis, then it would make them appear a bit hypocritical, considering the success of their housewives franchise is based solely on casting posers, fakers, wannabes, and fame hungry women. The Salahis fit right in with the formula they created for their hit series. In my opinion, it would be borderline idiotic to remove these two from the show, as long as Bravo was unaware of their party crashing scheme, I say leave them on the show. The ratings will go through the roof. And at the end of the day, isn't that what Bravo wants?

New TPWD Rules Streamline Licenses
AUSTIN, Texas — A series of changes to the state's hunting and fishing licenses adopted by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission here April 5 eliminates unnecessary redundancy, simplifies complicated temporary permits and clarifies senior and disabled citizen licenses.
The license changes are being implemented in response to an extensive internal assessment of the state's hunting and fishing license system, which uncovered several opportunities to simplify the licensing process. The changes take effect with the 2007-2008 licenses, which go on sale Aug. 15.
Probably the most significant change involves streamlining what had become a complex and somewhat confusing set of temporary fishing licenses created originally to provide additional licensing options for a variety of situations. Variations of the resident and non-resident temporary fishing options known as "Day-Plus Fishing Packages" have been consolidated into "One-Day Fishing Licenses" at a cost of $10 for residents and $15 for non-residents.
Anglers may purchase as many one-day licenses as they wish. No additional freshwater or saltwater stamp endorsements are required with the one- day licenses and one Bonus Red Drum Tag will be available for free with the purchase of the first one-day license.
The commission also created a "Senior Resident Hunting License" and a "Youth Hunting License" from what had been the Special Resident Hunting License. The fee remains unchanged at $6 for these licenses. Both resident and non-resident youth under 17 qualify for the new Youth Hunting License.
Along those same lines, the commission adopted "Senior Resident Fishing License Packages," which will allow resident senior citizens to fish in freshwater for $11, saltwater for $16 or any Texas public waters for $21.
The current "Special Resident Fishing License" will be available only to individuals who are legally blind and will cost $6. Freshwater stamp and saltwater stamp requirements are waived.
Establishing these licenses will provide the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department with better demographic and effort data among seniors and youth.
The commission also adopted a $3 fee for anglers wanting to purchase a second Bonus Red Drum Tag (the first one comes with the annual and single-day licenses) to allow harvest of an oversized red drum. This fee allows TPWD to recover the cost of administering the tag issuance.
With the creation of the "One-Day Fishing License" the commission also eliminated the temporary Resident July-August Fishing License Packages. They currently allow individuals to fish in the freshwater and saltwater only during the months of July and August. These licenses created considerable confusion for the customer and complicated the agency's electronic Point-of-Sale system.
The commission also revised several commercial fishing licenses for simplification purposes, including:
Resident and Nonresident Commercial Fishing Boat Licenses: Created one Commercial Fishing Boat License authorizing the current activities of the two licenses in a single license; for $25. These licenses are currently required of each boat that must be registered under federal or state laws and is used in taking aquatic products except menhaden, finfish, oysters, crabs and shrimp from the public waters of the state or for boats unloading within the state such products taken outside the states waters for pay, barter, sale, exchange or any commercial purpose.
Resident and Nonresident Freshwater Fishing Guide Licenses: Created one Freshwater Fishing Guide License, authorizing activities of the two licenses in a single license for $125. These licenses are currently required for individuals who operate a boat for anything of value in transporting or accompanying anyone who is fishing in freshwater of this state.
Resident and Nonresident Saltwater Fishing Guide Licenses: Renamed the licenses as Resident and Nonresident All-Water Fishing Guide Licenses, respectively. The new name more accurately describes the authorized activities of these licenses. They are required for individuals who operate a boat for anything of value in transporting or accompanying anyone who is fishing in freshwater and saltwater of this state.

Harvard faces Bucknell in the opening round of the CWPA Eastern Tournament (Photo courtesy: Justine Agaloos).
Scene Setter
The Harvard men's water polo makes it second consecutive trip to the Collegiate Water Polo Association Eastern Division Championships under third-year head coach Ted Minnis. By virtue of the Crimson's fourth-place finish at the Northern Division Championships Nov. 3-4, Harvard is the Northern's Division fourth seed and opens play against the Southern Division's No. 1 seed, Bucknell. The Crimson travels to Princeton, N.J. for the 41st playing of the three-day tournament.
About the Field
The eight teams in the event all qualified for it by virtue of their performances at the respective CWPA Northern and Southern Division championships. St. Francis toppled Brown at the Northern Division championships to earn the No. 1 seed, while Bucknell edged upstart Mercyhurst to win the Southern Division crown and earn the South No. 1 seed. Joining those four teams are the US Naval Academy, Princeton, MIT and Harvard.
Championship Berth on the Line
For seven of the eight teams in the field, their 2012 season will draw to a close; however, the champion will qualify for the NCAA Men's Water Polo National Championships, Dec. 1-2 at the McDonald's Swim Stadium in Los Angeles, Calif. The women's national championship will be held in May at Harvard's very own Blodgett Pool.

Last Time Out
Harvard finished 1-2 at the Eastern Division Championships after entering the tournament as the third seed. The Crimson topped Fordham, 10-8, in the opener behind four goals from John Holland-McCowan and three from Ben Zepfel. In the semifinals against St. Francis (N.Y.), Harvard came up just short as the Terriers pulled away in the fourth quarter to win, 17-14. The third-place game saw a match-up with cross-town rival MIT, and it was tight the entire way. After jumping out to a four-goal advantage in the second period, the Crimson allowed the Engineers to battle back and send the game to overtime. In the first two overtime sessions, it went back-and-forth before Blake Lee tied the game back up with 14 seconds remaining to send the contest to sudden-death overtime. It took two periods, but the Engineers were able to score with 1:44 on the clock to eke out a 15-14 win.
Last Year at Easterns
Harvard made the trip to the Eastern Championships for the first time since 2007 and posted a 1-2 mark to finish in seventh place at the event. The Crimson fell to No. 1 seed Navy in the opener, 20-5, before succumbing to a late Bucknell rally, 13-11. In the seventh-place contest, the Crimson toppled Iona, 13-10, behind a hat trick from Mike Katzer '12.
Third Times a Charm
Freshman Ben Zepfel picked up his third Collegiate Water Polo Association Northern Division Rookie of the Week award Nov. 5 for his virtuoso performance at the Northern Championships. In three games, the Newport Beach, Calif. native contributed 10 goals and seven steals for the Crimson to up his season totals to 70 goals and 34 steals. The Corona del Mar product previously won the award Sept. 17 and Oct. 15.

Racking Up the Awards
In addition to Zepfel's three Rookie of the Week nods, the Crimson have won five other Rookie of the Week awards, one Defensive Player of the Week honor and one Player of the Week award. Noah Harrison (Sept. 3 and Oct. 8), Blake Lee (Sept. 24 and Oct. 22) and Robbie Fluegge (Oct. 29) have also earned the newcomer weekly honor, while Harrison claimed the Player of the Week honor Oct. 8, and Jimmy Field picked up the Defensive Player of the Week award Sept. 24.
Top of the Class
Following last weekend, a class of 2016 member leads the squad in every statistical category. Ben Zepfel tops the team in goals with 70, Blake Lee leads in assists and steals with 54 and 58, respectively, and Colin Woolway ranks first in saves with 156. Overall, the rookies have accounted for 59.5 percent of goals (197/331), 59 percent of assists (128/217), 60.6 percent of steals (194/320) and 51 percent of saves (156/306).
Johnny On The Spot
Sophomore John Holland-McCowan has taken his game to another level this postseason. In five postseason games, he has registered 12 goals and five steals to account for just over a quarter of his season tallies and just under 25 percent of his steals. His best game came against Fordham when he delivered four goals and a steal in the Crimson's win.
About Bucknell
The Crimson and Bison have met twice already this season, and Bucknell has emerged victorious both times. In the first meeting, the Bison prevailed, 11-3, in game one of the North-South Challenge; however, the loss trigged a nine-game winning streak for the Crimson, tied for the second longest in school history. Bucknell snapped the streak, beating the Crimson, 10-8, to conclude the Bison Invitational. Stefan Aleksic leads the offense with 92 total points on 45 goals and 47 assists, while Brian Barron and Jack Else are tied for tops in goals with 52 apiece. In net, Matt Napleton has started all 28 games, making 302 saves while allowing 249 goals.

It's just one insane policy after another these days. When I argued against the auto bailouts last December, I wrote:
When a group of automobile industry executives who are intimately acquainted with the particulars of their own industry are apparently not able to return a profit on their operations, it is downright absurd to think that a group of politicians (who are hardly exemplars of efficient spending or financial management themselves) can dictate operational policies that will return profits from these auto companies.
Today's announcement from President Barack Obama calling for stricter fuel and emissions standards is just more evidence to substantiate my concern:
President Barack Obama will announce new vehicle-emission rules tomorrow, setting the first-ever nationwide limit on greenhouse-gas pollution from autos, people familiar with the plan said.
The move would force automakers to meet a fuel-economy standard for 2016 models of slightly less than 35.5 miles a gallon, a target Congress has said wouldn't have to be met until 2020.
Crippling the Auto Industry and Hurting Consumers
And just what would this do to the price of automobiles? It will cost consumers an extra $1,300 per vehicle by 2016. To be clear, Congress' standards are already going to cost consumers an extra $700 per vehicle regardless of what the Obama Administration does, and Obama's new, stricter policy to be announced today will add $600 on top of that.
At a time when the automobile industry is struggling to stay alive, and after the two most recent White House administrations and members of both parties in Congress claim that it is simply "too big to fail" -that the costs to our country would be too catastrophic and that it must be kept alive even if that means illegally and unconstitutionally extending to it billions of dollars of taxpayers' money- it is utter madness to hurt automobile sales by slapping $1,300 on top of each new vehicle's price. This is especially true when consumers are already so strapped for cash.
Schwarzenegger & Granholm
This part is just too funny for words:
Obama will announce the moves Tuesday at a huge White House ceremony designed to underscore cooperation among automakers, environmentalists and the two governors whose states have most closely watched the fate of U.S. auto-making -- Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger of California and Democrat Jennifer Granholm of Michigan.
So the two cheerleaders we have in attendance at the ceremony to endorse this policy are the governors of the two states whose economies have been the most wrecked by their governments' over-regulation, confiscatory taxation, and mismanagement? Could they make it any more obvious to the rest of us that this policy will crash and burn? This is not about global warming, it's not about cleaning up the environment, and it's not about energy independence. This is about more power, prestige, and money for the Washington establishment.

Large bread pans
Where can I find large commercial bread pans? I want to make the big loaf like commercial breads. The biggest loaf pan I can find is 9X5X5. It doesn't really make a satisfying sandwich with a tiny slice.
Where can I find large commercial bread pans? I want to make the big loaf like commercial breads. The biggest loaf pan I can find is 9X5X5. It doesn't really make a satisfying sandwich with a tiny slice.
Your best, and least expensive bet would be a commercial supplier....here's one link...:
If you are in an area with a restaurant supplier, check out their used equipment...I have several sets of strapped 'regular' 8.5x4.5 pans that I purchased for under $10.00, used. Old Chicago Metallic, and as sturdy as can be, and they fit a normal home/consumer oven.
Laura :0))
When I started making our sandwich bread for lunches, I was in the same dilemma. I did not like the shape that the typical loaf pans gave to the bread-too small and I HATED the "shoulders". I love the shape of the commercial wide pan breads so I thought I'd try to find a pan to make that shape. The pans are available but hard to find. In going on that journey, I learned an important lesson. Take a look in your cupboard at your corning glass casseroles. The perfect pan is the 1.5 quart rectangular pan. I have also learned of other options such as a rectangular angel food pan. It is 5" deep so each slice is taller and more square. If you have a thrift store nearby, there are often many pans, casseroles and other items useful for breadmaking that are not so expensive. So think of what you want to have as the outcome and start looking at what you already have in your cupboard. No pan should be single use.
I hope this is helpful!
The only thing I've found, thus-far, that results in a good-sized loaf is this Anchor Hocking glass pan, available virtually anywhere: http://www.amazon.com/Anchor-Hocking-Glass-Loaf-Pan/dp/B001JEPCTU
If I am not mistaken, it is a 1.5 quart pan, so it would be the same as what clazar123 suggested. Just nowhere near as cute. ;o)
I tried this commercial pan, but it is just plain awful. It actually produces the worst loaf of all the pans I have tried. It's great and heavy and sturdy, but I can't get a decent loaf out of it, despite changing every possible variable. Some folks really like it though, so... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YKGRLO/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I wish (oh how I wish) Sam's carried a loaf version of their 'Baker's Choice' brand, as one reviewer recommended in a comment. Apparently they used to, but either don't anymore, or it's just that none of our stores carry them.
Steam table pans are available at restaurant supply places and come in many different sizes and depths.
Here is an ebay auction for the corningware with dimensions:
Here is the angel food pan with dimensions:
I have also used empty food cans-perhaps a round loaf? I once bought 24 cans of sliced water chestnuts because I wanted to use the cans to bake mini brioches. What an adventure! I still don't want to see another water chestnut.

Group: Iowa crop land valued at $11,515 an acre
Group: Iowa crop land valued at $11,515 an acre
A real estate agents group estimates high quality crop land in Iowa is worth $11,515 an acre.
The Realtors Land Institute, made up of people specializing in farm and land sales, management and appraisal, say the average value is up 9.4 percent from September 2012.
The Des Moines Register reports northwest Iowa had the most expensive land, at $13,387 an acre.
Those surveyed were asked to estimate average values as of March 2013.
The soaring prices are due largely to high prices for commodities, such as corn and soybeans, that have put farmers in position to buy land as well as low interest rates.

Dear Editor:
On July 31, 2013 Maxwell's will have its final gathering. Let's give this great venue the final farewell it deserves and I am so glad that there will be a block party so that everyone can come. I do not think there will be another like this in our great town for quite sometime. Whatever happens after Maxwell's is gone, I totally am looking forward to it with a bit of nervousness, excitable anticipation and the refreshing possibilities of new things to come.
I am concerned with the state of the city council being deadlocked for 15 months. I really hope every single council member will keep in mind that their main concern should be for the good of the people. I wish them all the wisdom to do the right thing every time they have these council meetings.
I look forward to the elections come November. I urge every one to exercise their right to vote. One person can make a difference.
I enjoyed the Fourth of July fireworks and proud to be an American. Have a great summer everyone!
Respectfully yours,
Maria Theresa L. Rivera-Bartletta

A person with binge eating disorder often eats an unusually large amount of food and feels that eating is out of control. Binge eating disorder often occurs with bulimia nervosa, another eating disorder that may also involve purging.
In others, binge eating can happen without other eating disorders. For example, the person may feel upset about binge eating, but may not try to undo these feelings by vomiting, exercising, or taking laxatives.
It is not clear exactly what causes binge eating disorder. Since a lot of people with binge eating disorder have a history of anxiety or depression, it may be related to these conditions. Studies also suggest that people with binge eating disorder may have other emotional problems, including low self-esteem, anger, and/or obsessive compulsive behavior.
Risk Factors
Binge eating disorder is more common in women. Other factors that may increase your chance of binge eating disorder include:
- Obesity
- Becoming overweight at a young age
- A pattern of losing and gaining weight through dieting
- History of depression, low self-esteem, and/or substance abuse
- History of sexual abuse
- Excess concern with body shape
Symptoms include:
- Episodes of eating large amounts of food over a short period of time
- Obesity, in some cases
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a mental health professional or eating disorder specialist.
Binge eating is diagnosed when there is:
- An average of at least 1 binge-eating episode a week for 3 months
- A lack of control over eating behavior
- Distress about the binge-eating episode
- 3 or more episodes of:
- Eating quickly
- Eating until you are uncomfortably full
- Eating large amounts when you are not hungry
- Eating alone due to embarrassment
- Feeling disgusted, depressed, or guilty after eating
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
In cognitive-behavioral therapy, a mental health professional will teach you how to keep track of your eating and change your unhealthy eating habits. This may involve learning how to respond to tough situations and how to feel better about your body shape and weight.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy may help to reduce depression associated with binge eating disorder. Therapy options may include yoga or aerobic exercise.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy
In interpersonal psychotherapy, a counselor will help you look at your personal relationships and make changes in areas that are negatively affecting your life.
Certain antidepressant medications may be helpful for some people with binge eating disorder and depression.
There is no known way to prevent binge eating disorder. If you have young children, however, it is important to display positive and healthy attitudes about eating and body image.

Metallica Reveal DVD, Blu-ray + Digital Releases for 'Metallica Through the Never'
Metallica's concert film 'Metallica Through the Never' is coming to DVD, Blu-ray and 3D Blu-ray, along with digital and video-on-demand platforms on Jan. 28. Additionally, exclusive fan club deluxe packages will include an autographed lithograph signed by all four band members and an actual piece of Metallica's concert stage seen in the film.
'Metallica Through the Never' hit 3D IMAX theaters earlier this year, making its way into traditional movie theaters shortly after. Interwoven within live footage of Metallica playing a bulk of fan favorites is a running narrative, which features a band assistant named Trip out on an urgent mission. Of course, Trip's task doesn't go quite as planned.
Although 'Metallica Through the Never' received favorable reviews, it didn't make a big impact at the box office, but now the band has DVD sales to look forward to.
'Metallica Through the Never' will become available on two-disc DVD and Blu-ray releases; a 3D Blu-ray including 3D lenticular artwork that also acts as a reusable sticker; a limited three-disc Blu-ray set that comes with the lenticular artwork, a 'Metallica Through the Never' bandana and a lithograph movie poster; and a limited edition Metallica fan club-only three-disc Blu-ray with all the goodies listed above, (the lithograph in this bundle signed by all four Metallica members) an actual piece of the 'Doris' justice statue seen in the film with a letter of authenticity. The fan club bundle will be limited to only 1,000 copies.
All 'Metallica Through the Never' releases are set to come out on Jan. 28. For more information, head over to Metallica's official website.

The temptation is to call a national championship inevitable for Virginia baseball. The Cavaliers were too close this season, and they've been too exceptional for too long under coach Brian O'Connor.
So it's just a matter of time, right? Just a matter of time before O'Connor, rooted to the College World Series like few others, celebrates with his players in Omaha, Neb.
Well, maybe. Sports, especially baseball, often are fickle and cruel, as Virginia faithful learned anew Wednesday when U.Va. lost a stirring and excruciating title game to Vanderbilt, 3-2.
The Cavaliers and Commodores spilt the first two clashes in this best-of-three championship series, and given each team's pitching depth, a tense rubber match seemed all but certain. Sure enough …
Playing from behind for the third consecutive evening, and handcuffed by Vanderbilt's Carson Fulmer for the first five innings, Virginia scored twice in the bottom of the sixth to knot the score. Next run wins. You just knew it. Reliever Hayden Stone was throwing seeds for the Commodores, Artie Lewicki for the Cavaliers.
Extra innings, anyone? A marathon approaching Virginia's 15-inning slog with Texas Christian earlier in this CWS? Bleary eyes at work Thursday?
After six stout innings and 97 pitches from Lewicki, O'Connor turned to closer Nick Howard to start the eighth. Any why not? He'd been untouchable throughout the NCAA tournament, and as he'd shown against TCU, was capable of extended innings.
But the first batter Howard faced, center fielder John Norwood, crushed a 97 mph fastball far beyond the left-field fence. Remarkably, it was Vanderbilt's first home run since May 16, a stretch of 16 games that dated to the regular season.
Virginia was poised to equalize, or seize the lead, when Mike Papi and Joe McCarthy reached to start the bottom of the eighth. Adhering to the conservative approach that usually serves the Cavaliers well but bit them in the Game 1 loss to Vanderbilt, O'Connor sacrificed Derek Fisher, the 37th pick of this month's Major League draft but below the Mendoza line for his career in postseason, to advance the runners to second and third.
When reliever Adam Ravenelle plunked Kenny Towns, the bases were loaded. But John La Prise and Brandon Downes grounded into fielder's choices to derail the threat, and the Cavaliers went quietly in the ninth.
"I think it's human nature as a player or as a coach to … reflect back and look at what could have happened," O'Connor said during his postgame news conference. "But if we did that all the time, and we did that in our personal lives, I think we'd drive ourselves crazy. We had opportunities, and it just didn't happen for us. … It wasn't for a lack of want to or effort or the right approach or anything. Just really, the credit goes to Vanderbilt."
To Virginia, as well. The Cavaliers (53-16) began the season atop the national polls and rarely dissuaded the notion. Playing in their 11th NCAA tournament in as many years under O'Connor, they reached their third College World Series and advanced to their first finals.
That sustained excellence shows no signs of waning. Wednesday marked the farewells of talents such as Howard, Lewicki, Papi and Fisher, but plenty remain — Nathan Kirby, Brandon Waddell, Josh Sborz, Connor Jones, Daniel Pinero, Robbie Coman and McCarthy to name a few.
"We had a special season, and it's unfortunate how it ended," O'Connor said. "But we played a great ballgame, and the competition was good. The University of Virginia baseball program will be back here in Omaha at some point, and maybe the next time we can win it all."
An Omaha native, O'Connor grew up attending the CWS. He's competed in the event as a Creighton pitcher, Notre Dame assistant coach and Virginia coach. He understands all too well how difficult the event is to win.
On the off chance he ever forgets, he need only look at his ACC colleagues. Florida State's Mike Martin (15), North Carolina's Mike Fox (six) and Clemson's Jack Leggett (six) have guided their teams to Omaha 27 times combined, with nary a trophy among them.
That's part of a baffling streak that has seen 43 ACC teams leave Omaha empty since Wake Forest's 1955 championship.
"Obviously, (the Cavaliers) were good enough to be the national champion, but it just didn't fall that way, unfortunately," ACC commissioner John Swofford said. "We've had too many of those over the years. It's really kind of remarkable. I have to think that at some point it turns in our direction."
Brian Boland, O'Connor's friend, neighbor and co-worker, also has a keen appreciation for postseason's perils. Before winning the 2013 national championship, his Virginia men's tennis team had reached the NCAA quarterfinals eight straight years. The Cavaliers had lost in the final the previous two seasons.
Whether O'Connor's program can match Boland's and climb that final step to the pinnacle is unknown. But there's no questioning the fuel Wednesday's disappointment creates.
"It's something you want to learn from," McCarthy said, "and really let it motivate you, to make yourself better and maybe come back next year and make sure something like this doesn't happen."

Courses: best and worst
Now, here's a best-and-worst question for my readers: What was the best course you ever took, and why? (Could be high school, university, whatever.) How about the worst course?
I've taken a number of very good courses, but one that stands out for me was a 1st-year course on intellectual history. The subject matter was fascinating, the seminar format allowed for lots of interaction, and the instructor, Duff Crerar, was very good. For me it was such a striking contrast with a course I took in high school on Democracy (can't remember the exact title). Everyone was required to take the course, the textbook was mediocre, and the instructor was autocratic (an irony that was not lost on me).
There are a few other examples that come to mind, but I'd love to hear from other people.

Getting , please wait.
|In 1989, a breakthrough in advanced parasitic research on Cuttyhunk Island, gave scientists a jump in human evolution. Initial tests proved promising as subjects were experiencing heightened physical and mental strength and awareness. But, something in the experiment went horribly wrong and the island mysteriously lost three quarters of its population. Jamie Akerman fled the outbreak, which took her mothers life, twenty years ago. She now returns with her boyfriend and step brother, to sell the family property. There, they uncover the key to Jamie's disturbing past, and the horrifying secrets long suppressed by the town leader, Larkin. Now, a new strain of parasite has emerged, and threatens the island once again. Jamie struggles to survive and escape the obsessive pursuit of the local islanders who know that she has inherited more than she could ever have imagined.

Every dumb twat has a book out these days. Is it easy to write a book? It must be. Not for people who can actually write, of course, but definitely easy for people writing for idiots. How else can you explain Tori Spelling's two bestsellers?
Now it's Size 2 Jennifer Love Hewitt. Because she's dated, like, everyone. True. And now she wants to share her dating wisdom with you all. Including a suggestion on how to deal with heartbreak.
Love says that every time a relationship ends, you should hot rock your hoo hoo.
Glue fake diamonds onto your vagina. Accessorise your labia with rhinestones. Hey, don't charge at me for being crass. I'm not the telling you to f-ck around with your lady business. But Size 2 went on George Lopez and recommended that each time you need a spirit lift you should pretty up your pussy and go dancing. Apparently this will alleviate the love hurt.
In other Size 2 news, continuing her obsession with her own body, she also told some story about her boyfriend Jamie Kennedy who tried to compliment her once by calling her a "pear ass" and she freaked out. Then she lectured him on how a pear looks, deemed it to be a derogatory statement, and has now effectively fatted out every woman with a pear shaped body. Thanks.
Oh look! Jennifer Love Hewitt had balloons delivered to her house today. And the paps just happened to be there. Somebody loves her so much!
Violence is not the answer.

McPeek Leads Pletcher by One as Title Chase Goes to Wire
Durham Racing and partners' 3-year-old filly The Best Day Ever was all out to win Thursday's last race at Gulfstream Park by a nose in a photo finish for trainer Ken McPeek to take a lead of one over Todd Pletcher (32-31) with five days to go before closing on Thursday.
Both powerful stables left divisions in South Florida to compete in the final weeks after shipping the majority of their horses north to Kentucky and/or New York. McPeek continues to close in on a personal career milestone of 1,000 victories as The Best Ever Day's victory marked No. 994.
While the trainers' title race could go down to the final day, jockey Jose Lezcano is virtually assured of capturing his first Gulfstream riding championship with 63 wins, 15 more than Elvis Trujillo and Kent Desormeaux, tied for second with 48 apiece, followed by John Velazquez fourth with 47 and Julien Leparoux fifth at 45.
While Lezcano and Trujillo continue in action here through the end of the meet before heading to Monmouth Park for the summer, Leparoux, Desormeaux and Velazquez left for Keeneland two weeks ago and currently rank one, two, three in the standings there, respectively.
Four Gulfstream Starters in Keeneland's Lexington Saturday
Saturday's $300,000 Lexington Stakes (G2) at Keeneland represents a last chance for a 3-year-old to earn a berth in the Kentucky Derby (G1) at Churchill Downs two weeks later, and four of the 12 entered in the race ran at Gulfstream Park one or more times earlier this year.
Saturday's group in the Lexington is led by G. Watts Humphrey Jr.'s El Crespo, winner of the Palm Beach Stakes (G3) here on turf on Mar. 14 for trainer Rusty Arnold. The homebred son of A.P. Indy broke his maiden on turf in early January, but finished a dull ninth in the Holy Bull Stakes (G3) in two previous starts at the meet.
Trainer Shug McGaughey sends out Phipps Stable's homebred Conservative in the Lexington after the son of Unbridled's Song won his last two starts at Gulfstream, breaking his maiden on turf and winning an 'off-the-turf' allowance going one mile on a sloppy track on Mar. 19.
The other two are Robert La Penta's Brave Victory, fourth last out in the Swale Stakes (G2) here on Mar. 28 for trainer Nick Zito; and Peachtree Stable's Masala, second in an allowance in late January behind Todd Pletcher-trained stablemate Take the Points. Masala subsequently finished fourth behind I Want Revenge in the Gotham Stakes (G3) at Aqueduct on Mar. 7
Leading the Gulfstream-raced team expected to line up for the Kentucky Derby will be Edward P. Evans' Quality Road and Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith's Dunkirk, one-two in the $750,000 Florida Derby (G1) here on Mar. 28.
Trained by Jimmy Jerkens, Quality Road will bid to become the third Florida Derby winner in four years to win the 'Run for the Roses' following Barbaro in 2006 and Big Brown last year.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- An review of Metro-North by the Federal Railroad Administration has found that the railroad emphasizes on-time performance over safety and infrastructure.
The Operation Deep Dive investigation was initiated after the Dec. 1 derailment in the Bronx that killed four people and injured more than 70 more. A total of 14 teams were assembled with more than 60 technical experts to do a comprehensive safety assessment of Metro-North, according to Federal Railway Administrator Joseph Szabo.
The assessment included looking at track signals, inspection and repair practices, communication, training, application of federal regulations and the overall safety culture at Metro-North.
"There was a clear overemphasis on on-time performance to the detriment of safety, combined with an ineffective Safety Department and poor safety culture and ineffective and inadequate training," Szabo said.
Szabo said the railroad did not set aside time to do proper testing and inspections on its main lines.
"They had failed to set aside sufficient time for high quality and appropriate track inspections because of the concern of delaying revenue trains," he said.
High employee turnover has also reduced the number of trained, experienced maintenance workers, engineers and other employees who are capable of making sure the railroad adheres to strict safety measures, Szabo said. It also found that track workers did not adhere to Metro-North's policies on cell phone use, though Szabo said that there is no idication cell phones played a role in any recent accidents.
The report calls for 21 directed actions that Metro-North must take to improve safety, as well as broader areas of improvement. Within 60 days Metro-North is required to submit plans to improve its Safety Department's effectiveness and to improve its employee training. Szabo said he will meet with CEO's from all commuter railroads to discuss the report and its findings.
The report has led elected officials and other commuter advocates to criticize Metro-North practices.
"The top priority for mass transit agencies, second to none, must be responsible operation in order to keep commuters and other travelers safe," said Rep. Nita Lowey (D-Westchester/Rockland). "On-time performance is no excuse to cut corners if it puts passengers at risk."
"The report confirms our worst fears, a severely lacking culture of safety at the railroad," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). "Every day that these FRA recommendations are not implemented is a day when safety is not as good as it could be
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said that Metro-North management needs to be held accountable, and that they need to be held to strict deadlines for improvements.
"So far Metro-North has not indicated whether anyone has been shown the door, whether there have been any specific changes in management reflecting accountability," he said. "I'm calling for those changes in management, because people who are incompetent need to be shown the door."
Jim Cameron, a longtime Connecticut commuter advocate and founder of the Commuter Action Group, called the report "a scathing indictment of years of neglect and mismanagement at the railroad."
