DDOT issued its RFI late last June. DDOT did not identify specific companies, but did note responses came from builders based in the U.S., Britain, Spain, China, and Japan.
The list therefore almost certainly includes Clackamas, Ore.-based United Streetcar, LLC, which landed a recent add-on order from DDOT, and also Besain, Spain-based Constucciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF), whose U.S. subsidiary won an order last April to supply streetcars to Cincinnati. Osaka, Japan-based KinkiSharyo International, holding a strong light rail transit (LRT) presence in the U.S.and actively touting a U.S. streetcar product, also seems a likely player.
"In an effort to explore the potential of entering into a public-private partnership, DDOT sought input on the design, construction, finance, maintenance and operations of a 22-mile priority streetcar system and the operations of local bus service within the District," DDOT said in a statement.
"The next step in the process is to review the submissions. We will use the information to help advance our planning and development efforts, likely resulting in a Request for Qualifications notice later this year," said DDOT Chief Engineer Ronaldo "Nick" Nicholson. DDOT review teams will evaluate the submissions in the next 60 days.

US pulls back from the cliff
MINUTES before the midnight deadline of the fiscal cliff, Democrats started celebrating a partial victory. It appeared the White House and Senate leaders had cut a deal - America would start to tackle its debt and deficit by taking an extra $600 billion in revenue rather than by cutting spending.
Just before 2am on Tuesday, the Senate passed the measure by an overwhelming 89 votes to 8. It still needs to pass the House of Representatives, which was due to reconvene at midday on Tuesday.
Americans earning more than $400,000 ($450,000 for couples) would foot much of the bill, with taxes on their wages and interest and investments increasing to levels not seen since Bill Clinton was president, 39.6 per cent. The tax hikes would be permanent.
It is a victory for President Barack Obama, who campaigned to raise taxes on the wealthiest throughout his re-election bid. The White House's apparent victory did not win the full support of all Senate Democrats.
''I just think that's grossly unfair,'' said Democratic senator Tom Harkin, a liberal leader. ''If we're going to have some kind of a deal, the deal must be one that really favours the middle class, the real middle class.''
In Canberra, Treasurer Wayne Swan greeted news of the deal with only lukewarm praise, warning that a divided Washington needed to reach a more comprehensive agreement before the rest of the world would see the threat as having passed.
''As the IMF have said, anything short of a deep and wide-reaching resolution will not be good enough this time around,'' Mr Swan said.
''We will continue to closely monitor these developments because they have a significant impact on the entire global economy, including Australia.''
Australian Treasury officials reportedly believe that an even greater risk than the fiscal cliff is the danger that Washington will again strike an impasse over the nation's debt ceiling.
In mid-2011, the US government came within hours of a catastrophic default.
US Treasury officials said on Monday that the government was again brushing the debt ceiling, raising fears of a re-run of last year's impasse.
News of the deal, brokered by Vice-President Joe Biden and Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, started leaking about 9.30pm on Monday in Washington, and although Congress has had 18 months to tackle the fiscal cliff, the last-minute plan prompted celebration among some Democrats.
As negotiations continued through the day, members on both sides of the aisle lamented and fretted.
In the end though it appeared senators believed a failure to act at all would be worse than a failure to compromise. ''No deal is the worse deal,'' said Senator Joseph Lieberman, the independent from Connecticut.
''It's a controversial package. But we knew that it was going to be a difficult challenge,'' said Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin. ''We have to pass it for the good of the country.''
About 11.30pm, Mr Biden emerged from talks with the Democratic leadership saying he felt ''really very very good'' about how a vote in the Senate would go. Then he reminded everyone that Senate votes were unpredictable, and House votes were even worse.
Hours earlier Mr Obama said during a briefing: ''Just last month Republicans in Congress said they would never agree to raise tax rates on the wealthiest Americans … obviously, the agreement that's currently being discussed would raise those rates and raise them permanently.''
Although a Senate deal was reached early on Tuesday, the US had already passed over the fiscal cliff and there was no guarantee the House of Representatives would pass the measures during the public holiday on January 1, to ensure no impacts were felt.
Under the last-minute deal - which covers only a few key elements of automatic tax increases and spending cuts - the Senate agreed to ensure 2 million Americans on federal unemployment benefits would have them extended.
Savage cuts to the defence budget, opposed by members of both parties, would be delayed for two months.

Hannah Moscovitch's play Other People's Children, part of a Moscovitch double bill coming to Toronto's Tarragon Theatre, is about an upwardly mobile couple that hires a Sri Lankan live-in nanny for their 10-month-old daughter.
Paul Lampert, the director of Other People's Children, said that it's a "very modern look at what happens when we have someone take care of our children, when we make the choice that we have to get back to work."
In the play, the husband, Ben, is not crazy about the nanny, Sati, coming into the house because he's more of a traditionalist who would like his wife, Ilana, to form a stronger bond with their daughter.
"Very quickly it turns out that Sati is not only an excellent nanny, but she has three children of her own back in Sri Lanka… she's an excellent mother," Lampert said. "She's able to cope well."
Ilana, who is played by Lampert's wife, Nikki Landau, begins to feel insecure about her own motherhood and her mothering qualities, and Ben starts to like Sati's mothering qualities. The difficulties arise as the relationships develop, Lampert said.
"Inevitably there are going to be people in the audience with children who have nannies, and they are going to be asking themselves similar kinds of questions of how good a parent they are and how much is this person I'm bringing into the house becoming part of my family," said Lampert, the father of a daughter, Clara, 5.
"It is interesting because we are really speaking to this socioeconomic bracket that would very much understand these issues."
The play also looks at the nanny's situation – she has left her children behind to be raised by someone else, perhaps a relative, to take care of other people's children, Lampert said. The relative is forming bonds that are more ingrained and tighter with "other people's children."
Gray Powell plays Ilana's husband, Ben, and Elisa Moolecherry, a Canadian who is the artistic director of BeMe Theatre in Munich, plays the nanny, Sati.
As a co-director, Lampert said the challenge for him is that Moscovitch writes "in a very particular fashion and yet none of the text is upfront. It is all sub-textual, so you really have to work with the actors very closely to find what is going on underneath the text and you have to navigate that.
"Luckily, Hannah is occasionally in the room and I can actually ask her what she was looking for. Hannah writes in an almost cryptic fashion and what is said is deeply buried with intention and motivation. The language is a façade… only a mask for what is really going on underneath."
Lampert said that Moscovitch is a "fascinating playwright who is quickly becoming one of the most important playwrights currently in Canada."
Although this is the first time Lampert, a National Theatre School of Canada graduate, has directed a play by Moscovitch, Lampert's list of credits is extensive, including working with Poland's Teatr BLIK, and International Theatre in Vienna. He directed the national première of Oleanna for the Stary Theatre in Kraków, Poland, and I, Claudia, for BeMe Theatre, which toured to Barcelona, Shanghai and Munich.
Lampert has directed at theatres across Canada, including at the Blyth Festival and Shaw Festival. He's the past artistic director of Toronto's George Brown Theatre School and is now on sabbatical from teaching acting and directing at York University.
Other People's Children is on a bill with Little One, directed by Natasha Mytnowych.
Lampert and Landau are the co-artistic directors of Theatre PANIK.
Hannah Moscovitch's Other People's Children is presented in co-production with Theatre PANIK at Tarragon Theatre's Extra Space from Feb. 14 to March 24. For tickets, call the box office at 416-531-1827 or visit www.tarragontheatre.com.

Discussion in 'Ride Reports - Day Trippin'' started by mikegc, Jul 29, 2011.
I do not know why the double post some times I just do not get this machine.
Sir, your post was worth reading twice! Thank you for posting the good photos and a great story! I'm honored that you used this now year-old thread to let us know what you did. Thank you, sir, for staying at your post as we slept.
If there are, indeed, more veterans coming upon this thread, I encourage and invite you to share your experiences while standing guard over our wonderful country. And, for those veterans who may still be subscribed, please let us hear from you! C'mon Norton(kel), Egads1, Patmo, ceej and all the others who've contacted me. Show us your photos and tell your stories. Pirate Sea Captain & 6 Gun, I look forward to hearing from you now that you're out of Iraq.
Boogieman, thanks again, sir!
Man, this is an awesome report. Thank You for Your Service!
MIke- excellent
Perhaps should start a vet's pictorial/stories in JM
Mike et al,
I am sitting in Bagram, awaiting a 0200 show time for my flight to Kuwait, just finished reading your RR. (Kudos to Hakatan (my brother) for turning me on to it.) Excellent read. Fabulous sentiment. Thank you ALL for your service and sacrifice. I just spent my tour at a very remote and austere forward operating base doing the anesthesia for the forward surgical team. It was an honor and a priveledge to help care for those troops going into harms way to help defend the American ideal. I fear that with military operations going into their second decade in Afghanistan that the American people, who are so far removed from this reality, will forget or diminish what these young people are trying to do in service to our country. I pray not.
Josh "Sevoman" Wolf
Josh, thank you so much for your post! When time permits, please consider posting photos of your tour along with your thoughts. Thank you for your service, sir!
Thanks for the service, and for the memories, Mike.
Thanks, Mike and all who have served. I hope that others will post their experiences and pictures now that Packmule has revived this report. I've just now found this thread. Sometimes it's good to go back and bump older threads. I've talked with many friends about their time in Viet Nam.Mostly the good times. They didn't think there were any when they were there, but reminiscing reminds them that there were.Especially R&R in Thailand. Sometimes it's cathartic.
Packmule & Bomose,
Thanks for posting. You know, since I wrote this thread, I've been contacted, not only by inmates haunting the ADV forum, but some people with whom I haven't seen or spoken to in years. Also, I've been contacted by local civic clubs and have made several speeches about my time in Vietnam. It has been pretty interesting . . . cathartic.
Bomose, you made a comment about speaking to some of your RVN veteran friends about their good times while they served. In my case and I suspect in their experiences, too, it took a while to "process" what had happened half a world away. We were really just kids at the time; the same as it is in all wars, I suppose. When I got back from Vietnam, I remember home seemed almost surreal. Nothing had changed during the year I was away and it just seemed like I no longer belonged there. The fact was, of course, I had changed. Bomose, I expect your friends who served there might have had the same or similar experiences.
Thank you, again, gentlemen, for your responses.
Settling in back home was difficult for some. Others just seemed to get right back in the swing of things. It depended a lot on your MOS. The front line grunt had the hardest time and still has a few problems. Another ran munitions along the DMZ , and another a door gunner who was shot down twice. All three are from the same small Miss. town. Another who was a career Marine officer probably had the easiest time because he was around others who knew what he had been through. He was an adviser early, then a line officer, then in intelligence for MACV. I think for an 18 year old with a short time to get used to the military and then thrown into combat it's especially hard to come to grips with what happened.You're scared, sleeping with snakes, bugs , and leeches, and don't know if today is your last day. Then you're sent home to a nation that derides everything you just did for them and told " Have a nice day, get over it" . Thanks again for all you did.
Wow. Wow. Wow. As a practice, I generally don't like to start my Friday mornings with tears. However, we will all freely admit your report is not ordinary and the pride of service should be celebrated as you so incisively relate with your clear thoughts and pictures. Along with all former, present, and future soldiers I highly commend you in the raising of awareness about the costs of freedom( for us and others around the world) and the magnitude of the effect it has upon those who serve such a noble undertaking. You are a wonderful ambassador for the millions of us that have shared that privilege.
+1 brother, great post.
Ride on, ride safe. Grateful for your years of service.
Again, Bomose, thank you. You are so right with your observations, IMHO. To Rudabaga and Unstable Rider, I really appreciate your kind comments. I've been doing a great deal of reading about our servicemen and women in Iraq and Afghanistan, particularly the latter. I wish the citizens of the US knew more about sacrefices those good soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen have done and are doing for us. God bless them!
Thank You for serving. This was the best RR I've ever read. I appreciate You and all the other Vietnam Vets.
Wow. Powerful report. You and other members of our armed forces have my highest respect! Thanks for your service!
Air Force (Retired)
Great respect and appreciation for your transparency and your service. I was in the service just after Vietnam, but many of my buddies served in Vietnam and my first CO was shot down over North Vietnam and was in the Hanoi Hilton for about 5-6 years. When I was in, Vietnam was still a raw wound that many of the combat vets I knew still spoke of...at least within the command.
If I may, regarding the current group of warriors, this organization is doing many good things for those coming home:
The current generation of military folks are also highly dedicated to their country and their brothers and sisters, as you were during your service. I've had the honor of meeting and speaking with some of them at Patriot Guard Rider missions.
Thank you again for honoring those with whom you served. Also, thank you for the combat photos-they really portray what you and your brothers went through-and for your photos of the orphanage. I'm glad many made it out and got here.
To Mike and Jay: Thank you, gentlemen, your comments. Jay, thank you for staying at your post for all those years. We all owe you a debt for "having our backs."
Gumshoe4, I'm well aware of the Wounded Warrior Project and the wonderful things they do. I concur wholeheartedly with your assessment of your current warriors. I just wish more Americans were aware of their work and sacrifice on our belalf. May I suggest reading Outlaw Platoon by Sean Parnell? It'll give a good look at what they're experiencing.
I concur with' Outlaw Platoon'. A friend's son who did 2 tours with 3/320 of the 101st sent it to me.Although he was in Iraq, not Afganistan. Great read.
Thanks for your outstanding ride report and service, it brought back some great memories!

Melvin: Reddick 'feels great' during rehab stint
By Jane Lee / MLB.com
OAKLAND -- The A's plan all along was to bring back Josh Reddick when he felt good at the plate.
After two rehab games with Triple-A Sacramento, Oakland's rehabbing outfielder "said he feels great," said manager Bob Melvin, who spoke to Reddick by phone Friday.
On the mend from a hyperextended right knee, Reddick was 1-for-3 in each of his starts, and he's expected to play in at least two more games with the River Cats while the A's calculate a corresponding move upon his return.
That time is likely to come Tuesday in New York, where the A's begin a two-game set with the Mets for the start of an eight-game, 10-day road trip.
It was Stephen Vogt who was promoted when Reddick was placed on the disabled list, but he's been swinging the bat too well -- he's hitting .341 through 14 games -- to go back down.
Kyle Blanks is also hitting above .300. Eric Sogard, meanwhile, is batting just .199, and he does have an option remaining, which could persuade the A's to send him to Triple-A and give Alberto Callaspo more starts at second base.
Norris day to day with bruised left forearm
OAKLAND -- A's catcher Derek Norris exited Friday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox after six innings with a bruised left forearm.
Ensuing X-rays proved negative on Norris, who took a foul tip to the arm and is considered day to day.
"It's no break," said Norris. "X-rays came back fine. There's nothing technically extremely wrong with it. I think it's just a pretty good contusion. We'll see how it feels tomorrow, how it bounces back."
Following Norris' departure, Stephen Vogt entered the game behind the plate, catching three scoreless innings from Oakland's bullpen.
After early hiccups, bullpen rounding into form
OAKLAND -- After drawing too much attention for all the wrong reasons in the early going of the season, the A's relievers are making headlines for the right ones.
Sean Doolittle has quickly transformed into a lights-out closer with a silly strikeout-to-walk ratio. Luke Gregerson has been untouchable in the eighth inning. Dan Otero has become the go-to guy in the seventh, with a knack for filling any other role when asked, too -- like closing, as he did Thursday with Doolittle unavailable.
The A's bullpen, it seems, is finally rounding into form after one too many hiccups -- just not in a way they ever envisioned.
Jim Johnson was supposed to close games. Now he doesn't so much as have a defined role. Then there's Ryan Cook, who has battled with consistency when not battling injuries.
"He's a guy we'd like to be able to add into that mix again," said manager Bob Melvin. "Jim Johnson, too. Cookie just hasn't been as consistent. Right now, he's just having a little trouble throwing strikes consistently, but another guy we expect to have in that mix. We thought all along we'd be able to mix and match some and give guys some rest, but to this point, we're basically using the same guys.
"In a perfect world, it's 7-8-9, with Otero seven, Gregerson eight and Doolittle nine, with [Fernando] Abad mixed in there for the lefties. Now, we've been in a lot of games here where we're not going to have everyone available, but in a perfect world where everyone's rested, that's what we're looking at."
Doolittle, flashing an absurd 48:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, has not allowed a run over his last 20 outings, Gregerson his last 12. Eighteen of Otero's last 21 outings have been scoreless, and the righty has already racked up 44 innings -- second most among Major League relievers.
"He's been unbelievable," said Melvin. "The most versatile guy we have down there. He's economical in his pitches, he's durable, and whoever is not available on a particular day, he can fill that role."
Worth noting
• To make room on the 25-man roster for Friday starter Brad Mills, the A's optioned reliever Evan Scribner to Triple-A.
• The A's lost left-handed pitcher Justin Marks on a waiver claim by the Rangers on Friday.
Marks was acquired from the Royals on June 6 in exchange for cash and immediately optioned to Triple-A Sacramento, where he did not allow a run in four relief appearances spanning 3 2/3 innings with the River Cats.
• First-round Draft pick Matt Chapman made his professional debut Friday night, playing third base and going 2-for-5 for the Arizona League A's.

This post was submitted by Lysistrata member in Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me? group.
I have three girls, and the second I had my first daughter, people started asking me when I was going to have my boy. After my second daughter, the questions started a week after she was born. I was stopped by an elderly woman at a garden show, and instead of commenting how cute my newborn was, the second she heard "girl", she began to tell me how I needed a little boy. When I was pregnant with my third, after I found out her gender, I got a lot of "I'm sorry" from everyone. I think having all of the same gender is a wonderful gift. I was one of two, and my brother and I are not as close as most people I know who have same gender siblings. My three girls will be able to support each other when they reach milestones, such as puberty, dating, and social problems. Being the same gender, and close in age, they have the best built in support network.
To see what else Lysistrata has to say about being mom to three gals and share your take on strangers speaking up about the sex of your children,
Even now, with my youngest almost two, I will get stopped at least once every trip to the store by some well meaning (usually older) person, who looks at my three beautiful, healthy, thriving, well behaved daughters and say "when you trying for the boy?" It's insulting to think three girls are not enough. I am now unable to have more children, but if I wanted another, I'd definitely want a girl. The dynamic is something I never expected, but am very grateful to experience and be a part of.
We want to hear your shocking, funny, embarrassing, and insightful pregnancy and motherhood stories. Create a post and tell us all about it in our Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me? group.

Is "the smell" there in these new Ye Ole' Parlour's being opened?
Are you referring to Me n' Eds?
You know I was up in Spokane a few weeks ago and I had my choice between Round Table or Shakeys. Unfortunately I chose RT. I wrote about the experience in the RT thread. Definitely need to try the Shakeys up there next time, although I just know it isn't going to be the same as Shakey's from the 70's. I guess I just didn't want to disappoint myself.
Dang man all this talk about pizza had me dusting off the conveyor tonight. Here's the latest MLBP from my kitchen.
I have gotten away from the boiled down malt liquor and started using beer straight. Not quite the same but sure is a hell of a lot easier. Here you go..481g All Trumps Flour (Unbromated)232g Red Hook ESB10g Salt10g Lard10g Sugar6g Tones Garlic Romano Seasoning3g IDY (Fleischmann's)This is enough to make a 16" pie in the 0.125-0.2 thickness range. This one was a 48 hour cold ferment. The All Trumps isn't that hydrated at 48%, but I have found if you just dump it into a bag all crumbly and refrigerate a few hours it will become wetter. You can then press it into a ball. I actually made two doughs, one I let ferment at RT for 4 hours, then put it in the cooler. The other went into the cooler directly after mixing. The RT ferment was very flat with not a lot of bubbles going on. So the cracker crust rule still applies, undermix the dough and don't develop it too much. Even with the sheeter I have had the best results abiding by this rule.
It appears that Tone's has stopped making the garlic romano seasoning. I can't find it on their website and it's getting harder to find online. I substituted Garlic Romano Sprinkle by a company called "Durkee." I don't know how similar this is to Tone's but I like the extra flavor (and SMELL) it added to the crust. It was also good on the bread sticks I made with the dough scraps -- melted butter, salt, and Garlic Romano sprinkle -- yum.

We haven't crowned a 2013 champion yet, but for FC Dallas fans, today is the day that focus turns to next season as we unveil the full 2014 schedule. Here are a few highlights:
Spring into soccer
You're going to have a bunch of opportunities to see FCD at home early in the year. Five of the first seven games in 2014 are at home. In addition, the first two games away from Toyota Stadium are road-trippable affairs at Sporting Kansas City and Houston, so for die-hard FC Dallas fans, catching the first seven games of the year is a realistic proposition.
Saturday nights in Frisco
Whatever plans you have for Saturday nights from March through October, you might want to adjust them. 12 of the 17 home games in 2014 are Saturday night affairs including five of the first seven games. Also returning in 2014 are the popular 8:00PM kickoffs during the summer.
Friday night's alright for soccer
One interesting feature of the 2014 schedule is the appearance of two Friday night kickoffs. FCD has only played two Friday games in the history of Toyota Stadium with one of those coming on the traditional Fourth of July game. One of the two Friday night games this year will be the July 4 game against the Philadelphia Union while on Friday, August 22, Dallas will host Real Salt Lake.
Busy May
Only twice this year will FCD have the much-maligned three match weeks and both of them fall in an incredibly busy month of May. Dallas will play seven games in all through the month of May with grueling three-match weeks on May 4-10 and May 17-24.
Western Conference showdown
In an effort to enhance the run in to the playoffs, MLS has backloaded the schedules with intra-conference matchups. 13 of the final 14 matches of the season will pit FCD against Western Conference foes including two matches against both Los Angeles and Vancouver in the final two months of the season.
World Cup break
As we did in 2010, Major League Soccer will be shutting down for two weeks during the 2014 FIFA World Cup group stage. FC Dallas will not take the field between Wednesday, June 11's match at Portland and Saturday, June 28's match in Columbus. In addition, FCD will not hit the Toyota Stadium field in MLS action for almost a month between June 7 and July 4, though a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup game or two could hit Frisco during that month.
So who's ready to kick off the season?


text: "Waters idiosyncratically cuts to the core of American diversity, finding the good (and bad) in any situation with biting wit. The unlikely friendship Waters forms with a young Republican politician is an unexpected twist, and a timely tale of bromance in the midst of hardship. If a dyed-in-the-wool conservative and the pope of Trash can have an adventure in Reno together, aren't all things still possible in this world? But for Waters aficionados, the best parts of this enchanting narrative aren't the ones that actually happened. Fans will delight in the two novellas, with Waters at his campiest and most ludicrous, that precede the nonfiction third act.... Waters devotees take note: this is required reading."Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Though I think it's perhaps kids just haven't been as exposed to high-end audio/video like the rest of us have. They really haven't had the opportunity to embrace it in the first place, let alone adopt it.
It's as basic as a law of physics: If people spend lots of money on phones and tablets, they'll have less money to spend on stereos and TVs. Likewise there are only so many hours in the day. If people spend more time fiddling with their phones, they'll have less time to spend with their home theaters. Both pies are finite. Stereos and TVs are getting smaller slices.
I guess it's a generational thing. Millennials (age 18 to 24) now watch more than twice as much video content on a phone/tablet/PC than on a TV. Even while at home, where presumably they have access to a TV, 99% of them sometimes watch videos on their phones. Remember how you invited friends over to listen to a killer new CD, or when you bought a new TV for your Super Bowl party? That social aspect really nourished your love of the technology. Now, over half of Millennials say they watch smartphone videos at their friends' homes. Social smartphone video viewing—think about it. The one time when a big screen really makes perfect sense—a shared viewing experience—and kids prefer to watch a small screen. As Millennials grow older, will they lose the phones and love big screens? Maybe. But probably not as intensely as the older generation who spent a lifetime aspiring for bigger and better TVs.
Anyway, I'm over it. There's only so much one man can do, and I've done my best. But now I'm throwing in the towel. If people prefer to watch movies on a 4-inch screen instead of a 4-foot screen, I have no problem with that. A 1-inch speaker instead of a 60-inch tower? Knock yourself out. A 1-watt amplifier instead of 1,000 watts? Enjoy. Even if it's deprived of the big bucks of the smartphone market, I'm guessing there will still be plenty of wallets available to buy big stereos and TVs. That support will fund AV R&D, ensuring a steady stream of exciting new AV products.
It's official: I am a curmudgeon. And I'm fine with that. We devotees of AV don't need the mass market. We don't need people camping out to buy the next new receiver. We don't need the benediction of the mass market. We don't even have to be cool. Exclusivity has its own rewards. Having a kick-ass home theater all to yourself: priceless.
But seriously—stay off my lawn.
Though I think it's perhaps kids just haven't been as exposed to high-end audio/video like the rest of us have. They really haven't had the opportunity to embrace it in the first place, let alone adopt it.
I'm firmly in the "get off my lawn" camp and won't even watch anything less that BD quality on my 64" plasma. However, I think you're wrong. I think we're seeing a fundamental change in consumption habits. These kids do go to the cinema and have experienced big screens, but even there they also use their small screens. Also, much of their preferred content is in the form of less than pretty YouTube videos, and they've grown up on those. I'm sure there'll always be a niche market for high end gear, but I have little doubt that we're dinosaurs...
For what it's worth, I just turned 24, my smart phone has a gorgeous AMOLED screen, and I try to watch every video at home on my new HDTV with the surround system way up. I don't understand the appeal of small screens, unless like Biffstar said, they've never seen a decent or high-end set up.
I'm turning 24 in a short bit and don't get me started on home theater - i can talk about it for days.
I was listening to music in my friends car the other week and i said that we should go to my car to listen to the same song (what? her stereo sucks). when we got into my car, a bose system (its the best i could get at the time, so dont judge :) ) and she was impressed by the difference. her logic was that all sound systems simply sound the same unless it's live. i feel like that sums up our current generation and their perspective on audio and visual quality. my friends marvel at my samsung d8000 plasma, but only because its sleek looking, large, and its hanging on the wall. they have never commented on the picture quality haha. i feel soon enough the art of home theater may die away like vintage movie posters, but ill always keep it alive in my house and for those around me.
I don't get the appeal either. Maybe it's like the fact that people now are so attached to the lower quality MP3 audio. Many just lack the exposure to the higher quality stuff. I might be spoiled though. I don't even like watching DVDs anymore because they can't match the quality of blu-ray.
In observing the behaviour of my 20 year old daughter and her friends, I would have to say that the primary motivator for them to use their small screens is the cost. As in free (almost). Having a smart phone and a laptop is a given for them. One they need for school, the other, well, if I have to explain you wouldn't understand. They work at low paid jobs to get through school and have grown up on "free" entertainment from the internet so guess where they source their entertainment? "Free" off the internet. They already have the small screens so there is nothing else to buy.
My concern is the propensity of the high end over the last 20 years to move increasingly towards the cost no object crowd, more so on the audio side than the video side. As kids embrace their small screens, will the industry be bifurcated into an ultra high end that few can afford at one end, cheap junk at the other and nothing in the middle?
There was a time not so long ago when the two-channelers were the curmudgeons and the AV folks were the defilers.
I am 32 years old, so I am from a different generation than this article targets as the "problem" generation, but I am sure there will always be a place for high end equipment.
My only concern is that if the demand for (semi)high end equipment grows too low, prices might rise more than anyone of us perfectionists would like.
I love the article by the way! Even some of my peers aren't too much into high end stuff, though I think budget/priorities might play a huge part as well.
Thanks for the article Clint, umm, sorry, Ken! I am precisely twice the age of one of the posters (64, as in "When I'm…") and have been an avid audiophile and Stereo Review, et al, subscriber since 1972. I can remember when one of my favorite activities was traveling to several stereo shops along with a likewise inclined friend, to chat with the staff and listen to the latest speakers and components. We'd bring some of our favorite and best vinyl LP's along especially when "auditioning" speakers when we were going to upgrade or add on. I've bought, lived with, listened to and watched all of the changes the A/V field has produced over the years and have enjoyed them all. I share both the optimism and concerns expressed by others here. I would offer a couple of additional "reasons" for the apparent decline in quality A/V interest, and the resultant settling for MP3 sound & small screen vision.
1. Attention span: The art of "active listening" (or viewing) is gone. Who actually sits down and listens intently to the beauty, power, and subtleties of a recording through a decent system from beginning to end anymore? The compulsion to "multitask" gets in the way.
2. Access: Where could one even go today to see & hear, and make an intelligent decision? Certainly not any of the big box stores that sell A/V along with refrigerators. This is especially true for the generation Ken refers to, since the big box environment is really all they know. The "stereo shops" of old are few & far between, and possibly too intimidating.
Lastly, I'd disagree about the "generational/cost issue". These are the same consumers who regularly camp out in line to part with hundreds of dollars for the latest version of smartphone, etc. There has always been a "high end" to A/V equipment, out of reach for most; but, there has also always been a very satisfying, affordable mid-range of equipment. I too would not like this middle level to disappear.

Nelly has finally spoken out about the drug bust last week where heroin and weapons were found on his tour bus. The St. Louis rapper stands by his innocence and pumps up his latest business venture–nutrition supplements.
Aside from a Twitter rant, in which Nelly expressed his anger, the multi-platinum St. Louis rapper has remained silent on the recent detention. Nelly, who was in Atlanta to celebrate girlfriend Ashanti's birthday, explained to V-103/Atlanta what happened after he was pulled over and searched by border patrol.
"Certain stuff we can say and certain stuff you can't say until all that is cleared," Nelly told V-103's Kenny Burns. "We got pulled over and things were noticed as far as K-9 abilities and things went in stages from there. It was kind of wild…When they asked, 'Whose is this,' I can tell you who it ain't." [Listen to entire interview here.]
At the time, all members of Nelly's party were detained until one admitted that the drugs belonged to him. The Sierra Blanca, Texas patrol officers have also nabbed other celebrities for illegal substances, including Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg and Fiona Apple.
"It ain't a good spot to come through with anything you ain't supposed to have," Nelly said. "Everything happened so fast. It's one of those situations where you're squinting your eyes like, Is this really happening?…There was no way I would jeopardize what Nelly has built for the last 14-15 years being in the situation I was accused."
As he expressed a desire to move past the events, Nelly also revealed his plans to launch a line of vitamin supplements.
"I got the supplements on the way," he said. "People they got their comments, 'He's doing Steroids.' I ain't doing no steriods. But I'm doing this. And it can be yours."

Yeah thats true. Its weird.. But I think one day we will come along and agree on more things.
If the Knicks get to ten games over .500 in games played without him
... 5 games over .500 in games played without him
... get to .500 in games played without him
No matter how much they win or lose they're already better.
Just coincidence/bad luck that its happened for the 4th time in his career, should change his #to 13
Pfft you know nothing about basketball, he is and always will be Starbury so **** all you haters.
Yeah thats true. Its weird.. But I think one day we will come along and agree on more things.

All the Marbury fans need to just let it go. I never once said the guy doesn't have talent, but he just doesn't fit in with the culture and the players we have here. Personally I think he's to ME first to fit in anywhere he goes(just listen to KG's interview about Marbury)
Are we a good team without Marbury? No were still not a good team, but you guys have to be honest we are better without him then with him. Jamal is far from the protypical PG but i like him much better on the ball then off the ball. Everybody says Marbury can drive by almost anybody, but Jamal is close to uncoverable one on one, his cross over is rediculous. If he ever realizes this and drives to the basket more he has the potential to be a good player.
But back to Marbury, his time here has passed. I know some of you love him for some reason or another, but hes never done anything positive here so just let it go.
Gms, coaches, players may change but as long as Dolan is in charge the results will stay the same.
And the other thing Marbury doesn't deserve the money he is makin.... what is it 19 or 20 million per year? That is crazy not even Tim Duncan, Steve Nash, or Gilbert Arenas, or any other REAL All Star doesn't make that kind of cash.
I think Shaq, Kobe, KG, and JKidd are in the top range for the highest salaries next then is Marbury..
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
Isiah is a jerkoff and an awful coach, but hes still the coach. The players run the system the coach calls for.
I don't think the team is better without Marbury, but I think the chemistry is better without Marbury.
What I am suggesting is that his teamates don't feel the same way about him as they do about each other. Last year there was actually some good chemisty between the players and between the players and Isiah. They liked each other. They respected each other. They played hard. The problem was the talent level, some of the young players needed more development, etc...
This year there has been a deterioration of the chemistry between the players and the players and the coach.
It started with the Marbury benching and his flight home and got worse as the team started losing. Since then we've had other issues with Zach's role, Curry's role, etc...
In any event, I think the players are trying to give Zach a chance to fit in and Zach is trying hard to fit in. I don't think the team feels similary about Marbury. They may not be a better team without him, but they are more of a family, more dedicated, more team oriented etc.... when he's out.
Nate and Jamal have been playing better before Marbury left. Did you read my game thread? Look at the stats for both of them for the month of January. This is a talented team with or without Marbury but they are definitly better with him.
once steph's mind is right, and his body's 100% - based on what he did last year, he should play well down the stretch. And if he plays well-the players will appreciate him more, which means they will like him again-which creates more chemistry
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
Buyin Barbosa a car was nice, but he was goin to make millions soon anyway why not give Escalades to the fans 75,000 dollars per car. Instead of givin it to Barbosa give each fan 20,000 dollars so they can be happy. Thats spendin money right.

Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals Integrated into the TrainingFinder Real-time Affiliate Integrated Network (TRAIN), 2003-2011: TRAIN Database Dictionary and Three Tailored Datasets (ICPSR 32781)
Principal Investigator(s): Bialek, Ron, Public Health Foundation
This data collection contains the TrainingFinder Real-time Affiliate Integrated Network (TRAIN) database dictionary and three data files derived from the TRAIN database. A project of the Public Health Foundation, TRAIN (www.train.org) is a comprehensive learning resource for public health professionals, such as epidemiologists, public health officials, health educators, environmental health professionals, social workers, nurses, physicians, emergency responders, and mental health providers. Learners can use TRAIN to search for on-site and distance learning courses, register on-line for courses, provide and view feedback about courses, and create a personal training record of competency-based training and continuing education requirements. Course providers can use TRAIN to publicize courses, manage online registration and student rosters, collect feedback from learners, and post course materials and discussion topics.
Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals is a set of skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for the broad practice of public health. Adopted by the Council on Linkages Between Academia and Public Health Practice, this list of competencies was incorporated into TRAIN.
Comprising a small subset of the information in the TRAIN database, the three data files were tailored to facilitate public health systems and services research. The first data file contains demographic information about every registered TRAIN learner: street address, county, city, state, ZIP code, country, education level, gender, race, Hispanic origin, birth date, primary language, and secondary language. The second data file is a tabulation which shows the core competencies covered by each course offered through TRAIN, together with the course titles, expiration dates, and the organizations offering the courses. The last data file is a tabulation which shows the number of TRAIN courses and learners by core competency and professional role.
The TRAIN database dictionary describes all of the variables in the TRAIN database, including those not provided with this data collection.

Verizon's User Review feature is now live

Verizon now allows customers to rate their phones for all to see...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. BeInspired (Posts: 45; Member since: 21 Apr 2009)
As you guys know, US is mix-pot country, lots of immigrants from different countries. Verizon needs to put more asian languages into phone. Immigrants go back to their native countries very often, when they are there, for example, to roam in china, customers would love to send and receive text message in chinese. Hope will see more verizon phones have more asian menu languages, not only Spanish or French, that is not enough, because asian market in usa is getting bigger and bigger.
2. Dood (Posts: 269; Member since: 23 Mar 2009)
They would probably block this comment... Razr with an actual razor FTW!!!
4. Fanboys Suck (Posts: 609; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)
@BeInspired: Verizon is CDMA... Why the hell would they need to put more languages in their phones when GSM is the World Standard? CDMA is not near as World Wide of a Technology like GSM is. People will bring their CDMA Verizon Phones out of the country and realize they can't really use them all that well...
5. BeInspired (Posts: 45; Member since: 21 Apr 2009)
Thanks for remind me that verizon is using CDMA network, but hey, guess what, check out verizon's products' line, the blackberry storm and sumsung renown and saga, they are all equipped with Quad-GSM fuction. Therefore, you can use those phones even in the States, put a T-mobile or AT&T's GSM network. Of course when you travel in other countries, verizon will get you a SIM card. Anyway, even without gsm fuction, verizon is a great company, when you take phone to other coutries, it will be under roaming.
7. Fanboys Suck (Posts: 609; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)
Touche. Didn't think about Verizon's phones with GSM Capabilities :)
12. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Let's put all the hundreds of languages in all the phones so everyone can be happy. I don't think it's fair that when I call Verizn I have to hear the options in English and in Spanish. I would love to hear the options in my language but that's just not going to happen.
13. BeInspired (Posts: 45; Member since: 21 Apr 2009)
I mean at least put all the most popular languages most spoken languages out.

One to remember
That is how long it took for the Burr and Burton Academy Bulldogs to find the winning goal against the Mount Anthony Union High School Patriots in the final of the John James tournament on Saturday night.
With just five seconds left in the game, BBA senior Reid Conde was looking for a shot inside the MAU penalty area, but as he tried to manuver for position he went to ground under contact. The referee pointed to the penalty spot, and sophomore Wes Lord was able to put his shot past MAU goalie Pat Cody to give the Bulldogs a memorable 3-2 win.
"I've been in three of these," Conde said. "And none have felt like this."
"I don't think we played our best," MAU coach Mike Molloy said. "We were playing not to lose, [instead of] going for the win."
It was a game that was worthy of the occasion. The Patriots and Bulldogs fought tooth-and-nail to try and find an edge over each other.
But every time the Patriots hit out, the Bulldogs found an answer.
"It's the James," BBA coach Peter Mull said. "Anything can happen, and it usually does."
The first goal of the game went to Mount Anthony and came on 19 minutes played.
Awarded a corner, junior Brad Anair whipped a cross into the area that teammate Matt Upright was able to meet with his head, and Upright directed his shot high and over the arms of BBA keeper Adam Maitland.
Ten minutes later, and the Bulldogs would find their first equalizer.
Sophomore Jacob Bazyk put a long cross into the MAU penalty area. Cody came up to try and snatch the ball out of harms way, but found himself caught up with a BBA attacker. As the ball bounced away from Cody, Lord was able to use his head to score the first of his two goals on the night.
Before the half ended, both teams were able to create a few worrying chances.
The Patriots saw two, the first when Anair played a ball in to junior Briar Wilkinson, but Maitland was up to the challenge and saved Wilkinson's shot. Junior Marcus LaFlamme would also get a shot in on net late in the half off a free kick, but Maitland again came up with the save.
For the Bulldogs, junior Sam Anglum put fellow junior Bowie Pugliese in on goal with a nice pass, but Patriots defender Nick Altland was able to track back and make a sliding clearance to end the danger.
After the restart, it took the Patriots five minutes to grab the lead again.
This time, Anair did all of the work himself. After the Patriots were awarded a free kick just outside the penalty area, Anair stepped up and curled his effort inside the left post.
"He is in control of things," Molloy said of Anair. "In the first half I thought we went away from getting him the ball. In the second, I thought he controlled play a lot more. I thought he was the MVP of the tournament."
The Bulldogs, though, were not going to be denied another.
"We are a young team and have a lot of injuries," Conde said. "But we come out and nothing matters. Go a goal down, doesn't matter. Everyone's heads are up, everone is going for it."
First it was Lord trying to test Cody. Taking a free kick just outside the Area, Lord put the ball on net but Cody was able to come off his line and punch the ball clear.
But that was just the start of the pressure.
The Bulldogs' second equalizer came off of an amazing individual effort.
Conde, receiving the ball just outside the area, dribbled his way around, through, and inbetween four MAU defenders. Still keeping the ball with him, Conde was able to create enough space to toe a shot past Cody and into the net to make it 2-2.
"At some point in the game, Reid decided he was going to take over," Mull said. "That second goal was sheer willpower."
After that goal, the game opened up.
BBA, pushing a defender up to the midfield to add more bodies in attack, saw a golden chance come up short when Pugliese slid a ball in to Peter Oh in the middle of the area. With Cody off his line, Oh tried to put his boot through the ball and into the gaping net, but just missed getting his foot on the ball.
MAU senior Dylan Prazak then came close to giving the Patriots the lead again, as he narrowly missed beating Maitland to a ball high in the air. Minutes later, and LaFlamme came a half-foot away from beating Maitland to a rolling ball in the box.
But just when it seemed like extra time was coming, Conde earned the penalty.
When Lord stepped up to take the kick, he stared down Cody, saw him go left, and dinked a shot to the right to give his team the 3-2 edge.
After the game, both coaches talked about having to move on.
"This one will hurt for a little while," Molloy said. "The question is how we bounce back."
Mull said that his team could not rest on the victory.
"You have to go back to work on Monday...We are looking forward to getting Andrew [Gayda] and Liam [Kelleher] back. We still haven't quite put the team together yet."
MAU falls to 2-2 on the year, while BBA improves to 3-2. BBA's win gives them a three-peat of James titles. The offensive MVP award went to Conde, while the defensive MVP award went to BBA's Colin McLeish.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – The LA Galaxy may have picked up a valuable point on the road against the Colorado Rapids on Sunday, but may have lost the services of defender A.J. DeLaGarza in the process.
In the 30th minute of play, DeLaGarza suffered an apparent knee injury during a crushing collision with Colorado's Omar Cummings that has been preliminarily diagnosed as a left knee sprain. The injury prevented DeLaGarza from placing any weight on his knee as he was helped into the locker room by the Galaxy training staff. With DeLaGarza sidelined, LA head coach Bruce Arena called upon rookie centerback Tommy Meyer who shined in 56 minutes of action.
DeLaGarza is expected to undergo a series of tests this week to determine the severity of the injury. Losing DeLaGarza could be a blow to LA's postseason hopes as he has played a key role—starting 30 of 31 MLS games this season—in LA's recent steady defensive play that has been the backbone to the club's turnaround during the summer months.
Following the match, I caught up with DeLaGarza to discuss his condition...
(On the play leading to the injury…)
DELAGARZA: "I don't even remember. I just tried to clear a ball and Cummings and I both challenged for it."
(On what he felt after the collision…)
DELAGARZA: "Just Pain. That's all I can say, I don't know what's wrong. They don't me what they think is wrong, but I don't want to jump to conclusions."
(On the preliminary diagnosis of the injury being a left knee sprain…)
DELAGARZA: "We'll go with that for now, until we find out otherwise."
(On making a late season return to action…)
DELAGARZA: "It's late in the season. Hopefully, I'll be back for the playoffs or a couple games before that hopefully to get my rhythm back, depending on how bad it is."
(On the play of Tommy Meyer…)
DELAGARZA: "I have faith in him, David [Junior Lopes]. [Andrew] Boyens, [Bryan] Gaul. We have a deep squad. We'll see who is going to be in there and how long we're going to need them for."

The leader of the free world and a Canadian pop star best known for his haircut have at least one thing in common: they're the most influential Twitter users of the last year, reports CNN.
The rankings were compiled by Klout, a web analytic company that examines online trends in the social media sphere. Obama topped the list, Bieber claimed second, and one of Obama's main political rivals - Sarah Palin - claimed the third spot.
Though the list was largely dominated by politicians or pundits - Glenn Beck, George W. Bush, Massachusetts senator Scott Brown and outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi all landed in the top 10 - other well-known pop culture figures made their mark as well.
Apple chief Steve Jobs, Miami Heat star LeBron James and Lady Gaga also were among Twitter users who influenced discussion in 2010.
One of the major gauges of influence was which topics these social media stars chose to tweet about. As noted in Klout's report - which cited healthcare reform, the Tea Party, Iran and Haiti among the most talked about items on the site - these topics were not just widely talked about, but were also shared widely by the figures on the list.
However, the report also pointed out that influence was not an accurate reflection of sentiment. In regards to one of the company's most mentioned on Twitter - BP - Klout noted that its popularity was due to the fact that it was involved with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Happy....April fools?
The Return of Professor Lirpa!
Before I could say, "I thought you were dead," he rushed past me and ran into my home theater room, dragging a vintage steamer trunk with stickers from far-flung places. He ripped open the trunk's lid, took a deep breath, then gently reached inside. He pulled out a misshapen black sphere about the size of a mango, and held it out to me. I said exactly the same thing I always say when Lirpa shows me his newest invention—"What the hell?"
He smiled at me, in precisely the same way that the world champion chess master would smile at the world champion checkers master. I was humbled, of course, but also terribly frightened. I couldn't help but remember the last time Lirpa had visited, and my trip to the ER, followed by six months in rehab. He eagerly thrust his invention at me. Seriously, what the hell was it? An amazingly complex device that would revolutionize the world of audio/video, or an unripe mango that was spray-painted black? Or, knowing Professor Lirpa, it might be both.
"Just hold it in your hands, that's all," he suggested. Again, acting unwisely, I took the device into my hands. It was staggeringly heavy, weighing perhaps 20 pounds. "Ha!" he said—"You should have seen the prototype—it was over 10 feet tall." Then he reached over and pressed the sphere's button.
Immediately I could see myself leaving my body and rising overhead, then traveling down a tunnel of white light at a furious speed. More important, I was basked in the most wonderful sounds I could ever imagine. Words fail me. I have never heard such sounds except—except for one time when I was little and my father pulled a record from its paper sleeve, placed it on a turntable, positioned the needle, and played the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony for me. That was the sound I could now hear again. I am man enough to tell you that I cried.
"If I can get the radiation levels down to an acceptably safe level, this baby will sell like hotcakes," he said. I snapped back to reality. It was then that I noticed that he was wearing a lead vest, probably borrowed from some "dentist" as well as the kind of gloves you typically wear when disarming land mines. Then he thrust the precious sphere back into the steamer trunk, and rushed from the room and out into the night.
As it turns out, acute radiation syndrome can be successfully treated with blood transfusions and antibiotics. Nevertheless, they say that my hands will likely glow for the next 10 years, or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Clearly, as usual, the annual visit of the good Professor Loof Lirpa has taken a heavy toll. On the other hand, OMG—the sound of that orchestra.... I need to get me one of those mangoes.

Columbus Crew midfielder Bernardo Anor was honored with the Donate Life Champion Award on Sunday, October 28, prior to the club's MLS regular season finale against Toronto FC. Anor received the Award for advocating organ and tissue donation and supporting Crew partner Lifeline of Ohio.
"I am honored to receive this award," said Anor. "It means a lot to me and I am very thankful to be involved with a great organization such as Lifeline of Ohio."
Anor is a two-time tissue recipient, having suffered a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament in 2008, his sophomore year at the University of South Florida, and again earlier this year, in a match against Sporting Kansas City on July 14. Both injuries required surgery and he received tissue from a donor to repair his knee.
Anor has been a strong supporter of organ and tissue donation and was a part of this year's "Heroes on and off the Field" campaign, a partnership between the Crew and Lifeline of Ohio, designed to inspire fans to become heroes off the field, by registering as organ and tissue donors.
Donate Life America created the Donate Life Champion Award to recognize select figures from the athletic community who have provided significant support for organ, eye and tissue donation. Donate Life America honored 61 recipients with the award in its inaugural year, including PGA pro and heart recipient Erik Compton, snowboarder and liver recipient Chris Klug and retired NFL player and donor father Ickey Woods.
There is an additional community event this week as the Crew will have a booth at the Columbus International Festival, Saturday and Sunday. A Crew player, to be determined, will be on hand to sign autographs and greet fans on one of the two days. Details of this event are below.
Additionally, following the tragic death of Columbus Crew midfielder Kirk Urso in August, Urso's family decided honor their son's legacy by giving the gift of tissue. At that time, Lifeline of Ohio released the following statement: "Kirk Urso was truly a hero on and off the field. He not only touched lives as a member of the Columbus Crew, but he will continue to impact others through his gift of tissue donation." The Columbus Crew, Bernardo Anor & Lifeline of Ohio are proud to partner and encourage others to be a hero on and off the field like Kirk Urso.
Crew events in the community
What: Columbus International Festival
When: Saturday and Sunday Nov. 3-4 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. ET
Where: Veterans Memorial – 300 West Broad Street, Columbus, 43215
About: The Crew will have a booth at the event promoting the Black & Gold to area residents from all over the world. A Crew player will be on hand to sign autographs and greet fans at a time to be determined.

Howard seeking another Derby crown
Phillies bullpen coach wants to keep title in Philadelphia
By Ken Mandel / MLB.com
DENVER -- Keep the ball belt high, middle in and humming at 60 mph. If Phillies bullpen coach Ramon Henderson does that, he'll have performed a great service to Ryan Howard's quest for back-to-back State Farm Home Run Derby titles on Tuesday at AT&T Park. Then it's up to the reigning National League Most Valuable Player. "The hitter has to do his part, too," Henderson said, with a laugh. "I'm not going that far to lose. I want to make sure the title stays in Philadelphia." While Howard wouldn't mind that either, he's planning on enjoying his second straight Derby. "It's going out and have fun and try to put on a show for the fans," Howard said. "That's all it is. You don't want to go out there and try to put a bunch of pressure on yourself." Howard put on the best show for the fans at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, when he crushed 23 home runs -- some into the Allegheny River -- to win the 2006 Derby. Henderson also pitched former Phillie Bobby Abreu to a title at Comerica Park in '05. The Phils slugger is looking forward to taking his 6-year-old son, Darian, and already has an All-Star jersey for him. How many homers Howard hits is to be determined from a field that includes Magglio Ordonez, Justin Morneau, Vladimir Guerrero, Alex Rios, Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder. "It's a big yard and you have the wind coming in from the water," Howard said. "It's a pretty tough place to hit. San Francisco's also usually a bit cooler, and that might play a part if the wind is coming in from the water." None of this will affect Henderson, who has emerged as the premier batting practice pitcher of his generation. After Abreu's victory in '05, Henderson added David Ortiz and Miguel Tejada at the 2006 Derby. He expects renewed interest upon his arrival, and said he can handle up to three participants. "That man can groove," said bullpen catcher Mick Billmeyer, who pitched to Jim Thome in the 2004 Derby, but produced just four homers. "He throws a high floater and his speed is the same. He's the best I've ever seen." Henderson, in his 10th year as bullpen coach, and Howard have been gearing up for the Derby during the past few days, with Howard switching to Henderson's batting practice group, and working on location of pitches. Howard said it's "getting there."
Henderson is already there, and has been recognized more often by fans since 2005. He jokingly analyzed the wind patterns when the Phillies were in San Francisco in May, and said fans have been inquiring everywhere he goes.But when Monday comes, it's all on Howard. "I'll be nervous until Howard hits his first home run," Henderson said. "After that, I'll relax. I hope he'll kill a few sharks out there [in McCovey Cove]."

THE luckiest punter in the world has turned an 8c bet into more than $77,000 after picking the first four finishers in the Melbourne Cup.
The miraculous bet returned odds of 969,406 to one after the sportsbet.com.au customer put 8c on Green Moon, Fiorente, Jakkalberry and Kelinni to fill the first four positions.
Even more incredibly, the bet was the woman's first with the online bookmaker.
She spent $1.92 on a number of combinations, with her 8c bet on the four placegetters producing the goods.
Sportsbet.com.au spokesperson Shaun Anderson said he was staggered when the seemingly impossible longshot came through.
Cup victory: Prebble over the Moon after win
"What an amazing bet, made even more extraordinary given it was their first ever bet with us" said sportsbet.com.au's Shaun Anderson.
The first four paid a New South Wales record $1.4 million with the TAB.
"The First 4 is a record in NSW, eclipsing the previous biggest dividend which was on Stakes Day in 2007," TAB spokesperson Matt Jenkins said.

DETROIT (AP) — The 128-year-old Detroit Institute of Arts has gained a reputation as a home for some of the world's most hallowed masterpieces: Paintings by Van Gogh and Picasso, the Rivera industry murals.
Things will look a bit different, though, over the next few months.
Vincent, Pablo and Diego will have company in the form of Mickey, Bart and Bugs.
"Watch Me Move: The Animation Show," which organizers call the "most extensive animation show ever mounted," has both iconic clips — featuring the aforementioned Mouse, Simpson and Bunny — as well as lesser-known works that span the past 100-plus years. The show brings together industry pioneers, independent filmmakers and contemporary artists, including William Kentridge and Nathalie Djurberg, alongside commercial studios such as Walt Disney, Aardman and Pixar.
The exhibit takes its name from American cartoonist and animator Winsor McCay's century-old short film "Little Nemo," which displays an on-screen message inviting viewers to "Watch Me Move."
Visitors can peruse more than 100 animated film segments — nearly 12 hours' worth of footage.
Time-lapse, stop-motion, hand-drawn and computer-generated animation. It's all there in a six-section configuration designed to attract art lovers and pop-culture fanboys alike.
"Animation is art and is just as worthy as our Van Goghs or our (Pieter) Bruegels to hang inside a museum," said Jane Dini, one of the show's curators.
"Hang" is the operative word.
Plush couches and other seating areas are placed throughout the show, along with headphones and built-in audio sources. It's designed to allow visitors to take a load off and absorb the animated content at their own pace.
"One of the things we tried to think about was how somebody could easily get through the exhibition in a half an hour, 40 minutes and feel that they had been immersed in the history of animation," Dini said. "And then for those real connoisseurs of animation, that they could sit here and really" take it in.
For that latter group, the DIA is offering a $75 pass that allows for unlimited visits to the exhibit and to the related movies and lectures.
One lecture will be delivered by Leslie Iwerks, an Academy Award-nominated filmmaker whose grandfather, Ub Iwerks, was a pioneering Disney animator. A clip from Ub Iwerks' "Silly Symphonies" is shown not far from "Little Nemo" in the show's "Beginnings" section, which kicks off the show and is devoted to the emergence of the animated image.
Dini's brother, Paul, a longtime animation writer, also will give a talk.
"My brother used to say, if he really wanted to get my goat, that more people knew around the world who Batman was than the 'Mona Lisa,'" Jane Dini said.
The exhibition presents more than a lengthy succession of moving images.
Visitors are encouraged to try an interactive video game that begins its journey in London's Underground.
The show concludes on a futuristic high note — the projection mapping room. Projection mapping uses software to manipulate projected images and help them to fit on irregularly shaped surfaces.
In the exhibition's projection mapping room, light splashes across jagged-edge formations that at one point give the appearance that spiders are crawling all around.
"The thing that we wanted to do with the show that we thought was really important was to have a unifying introductory experience and a unifying conclusion experience," said Holly Harmon, an interpretive specialist at the DIA. "This is where the technology is now. When you walk into this room, you really don't know how it's done."
"Watch Me Move," which initially was shown at the Barbican Centre in London, runs in Detroit through Jan. 5, before heading to the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville, Tenn.

If You Go …
The Detroit Institute of Arts, 5200 Woodward Ave., is in Detroit's midtown section. Tickets for "Watch Me Move: The Animation Show" are $20 for adults, $10 for ages 6-17, $15 for groups of 15-plus, and include a pass to one exhibition-related program at the Detroit Film Theatre. Tickets for those who see the exhibition by Nov. 17 are $14 for adults and $8 for ages 6-17. Tickets for DIA members are free. A $75 Super Fan pass allows unlimited visits to the exhibition and to related movies and lectures. Museum hours are 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesdays-Thursdays, 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Fridays, and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

On Tuesday, May 20, citizens living in the city of Campbellsville will have the opportunity to go into the voting booth and express their wishes relating to whether or not restaurants in Campbellsville that qualify should be able to serve liquor by the drink.
I am not a writer but feel that I need to state my views on the upcoming alcohol question. I heard on television that a number of our children by the age of 12 are alcoholics and on drugs.
Do we really want to bring more sin and corruption to our communities? Alcohol has destroyed individuals and families.
I urge you to please vote no on the alcohol question on our ballot. If you plan to vote yes or not vote at all, please reconsider and vote against this alcohol bill.
Patsy Keltner
Regarding "City Schools eliminate associate principal positions" ... I was disheartened to read the article, short and sweet as it was. The cost of fuel is affecting the entire country, but our schools?
It is about time that the fuel companies take a smaller profit or give back to the communities. The very least they can do is donate money to schools and hospitals.
Considering the horrible memories and nightmares that everyone must have who have lost family members and friends to alcohol related accidents, I cannot believe anyone would believe that this community would prosper by catering to the boozers.
Once again, residents of Taylor County are faced with the question of whether or not we want to allow the sale of alcohol in our community. This time, however, only city residents are able to decide the issue.
For some reason, our state lawmakers have failed to look beyond the end of their noses and see that alcohol affects entire county populations, not just those in the city limits. County residents also work at and support businesses in the city and are affected by what happens within the city limits. The city-county relationship is not either-or, rather, it is both-and.
When I first moved here almost 12 years ago, I wondered why this place seemed different. It was so different that it irked me with an urgency to understand the mystery.
Sure, there are less expensive houses, but they seemed to be sweet, and I asked myself, "Why?" It took me so long to decide. I kept scratching my head about it for a few months, continually wondering.
One day it hit me, "I know what it is! Campbellsville is pretty; that's what it is. The whole place is charming. There is no ugly spot."
I ask you to consider the effects of voting to serve alcohol in Campbellsville restaurants.
Consider that children will begin to drink with friends. Consider that every drunkard begins with one drink. Consider the lost lives taken by drunk drivers. Consider the cost of insurance because of accidents. Consider the broken homes because of drinking. Consider the abuse to children and other family members because of drinking alcohol.
With Mother's Day approaching this Sunday, The Caring Place would like to ask you to keep our mothers who are in shelter in your hearts and minds.
This Sunday when you are preparing for your family visit, whether it be to take Mom out to eat, choose the proper gift or card or just a simple phone call ... please stop for a minute and say a prayer for the thousands of women whose Mother's Day won't be spent at home but rather in a domestic violence shelter. They, too, would like to be in their homes free of violence. However, they are not afforded that luxury.
I once heard of a young stamp collector who wrote to Buckingham Palace asking for a special stamp to add to his collection. His request for the stamp was denied, but he was granted a visit with King George V, who was interested in stamps also. Afterward, as the young boy recounted his experience, the stamp itself seemed insignificant.
Real prayer is similar to that boy's experience. Think about it: having a visit with the King of Kings is far better than having a specific request granted.
I wonder if the people of Campbellsville know that in the election on May 20 we will be voting on whether the restaurants in Campbellsville can serve alcoholic beverages?
It seems like there are some people in Campbellsville who want this to happen, but I don't! Do you?
It used to be that if a restaurant served as many as 100, this could be done. Now it is 50, and we have a lot of restaurants that serve that many.
