Endurance Racers John Crandell and Heraldic
Touch of Class, a Marylander, was the first non-human female equestrian honored by the U.S. Olympic Committee as Athlete of the Year. In 1984, this Hall of Fame horse won two Gold Medals for the United States, clearing 90 of 91 jumps in show jumping Olympic competition.
Her achievement inspired a new award to honor horses and people who demonstrate the highest standards of excellence in Maryland's horse industry.
The first winner was Maryland horse trainer Graham Motion, who won the 2011 Kentucky Derby with thoroughbred Animal Kingdom.
The latest winners, honored in November, are a team: John Crandell III and his famous Arabian Heraldic, both of Anne Arundel County. The pair won a silver medal in this year's Pan Am games, one of the largest international sporting events outside the Olympics.
For these two, awards are nothing new. In 2006, Heraldic became the only horse to win the Triple Crown of endurance racing.
Endurance races run 50 to 100 miles over natural terrain. The races evolved from World War I, when the U.S. Calvary needed to develop mounts that could carry 300 pounds over 100 miles a day. What started as a military test developed by 1965 into an American-initiated sport.
The most difficult of the 100-mile rides, the Historic Western States Trail from Lake Tahoe over the Sierra Nevada Mountains, combines rugged terrain, high altitudes and unpredictable weather for the first leg of the Triple Crown. The Old Dominion 100-mile race, the second leg, winds through Virginia's George Washington National Forest in the Shenandoah. The American Endurance Ride Conference National Championships is the third leg of the Triple Crown. Heraldic won them all — and the American Endurance Ride twice.
By all accounts, Heraldic and John Crandell's silver win in this year's Pan Am's is a miracle. Attacked by coyotes or wild dogs in 2008, Heraldic's racing days seemed over so badly was his leg injured. Two years of therapy — building muscle and bone strength and training for endurance — put John back in Heraldic' saddle again.
The Crandell family has a long history in horse training and endurance riding. Linda Crandell, John's mother, became fascinated by the sport 30 years ago. She has won the Old Dominion 100-mile Endurance ride two times. Her husband, also John, has won it once; John III has won it six times.
Endurance riding is a race against the clock. The first horse over the finish line wins. The average speed is 7.8 miles an hour, about comparable to a moderate trot. Riders can dismount and walk with the horse. All along the route are mandatory veterinarian stops. Horses are tested for pulse rate, watered and fed — and some eliminated by the veterinarians. Riders are not tested.
Endurance racehorses must be five or older. Heraldic is a 13-year-old Russian Arabian gelding. Stamina and natural endurance are common to Arabians; they are the strongest competitors. The breed originated in Russia and along the Barberry Coast, but endurance training began — and excels — in America.
Ten Arabians are now in endurance training on the Crandells' West River farm. They are routinely exercised in six- and seven-mile rides on the flat. The Crandells' 40 acres — though now subject to new restrictive county regulations on horses — gives them that. But hill and mountainous training is essential to condition muscles and bone for endurance, and Anne Arundel County is not known for its mountains.
We are known, however, for our horses. American-trained horses compete in endurance races around the globe. Among them are Anne Arundel County's John Crandell and his famed Arabian, now following the circuit here and in England, and bringing back more awards to Maryland.

Women lag behind men in life expectancy gains: Study
(CBS News) Women may tend to live longer than men but they lag behind them when it comes to gains in life expectancy, according to a new nationwide study from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME).
The study analyzed county-by-county data from 1989 to 2009. In that time period, life expectancy for men improved by an average of 4.6 years - but for women, it improved by only 2.7 years.
"It's tragic that in a country as wealthy as the United States and with all the medical expertise we have that so many girls will live shorter lives than their mothers," Dr. Ali Mokdad, the head of IHME's research team, said in a written statement.
In 2009, the life expectancy for men ranged from 66.1 to 81.6 years for men and 73.5 to 86.0 years for women. But women across the country were less likely to have had any progress in life expectancy - and many had their lifespans get shorter over time. In 661 counties, life expectancy halted or went backward - compared with 166 counties for men.
The study also highlighted the wide gap between women living the longest lives and those living the shortest. For example, in Collier, Florida, women live 85.8 years on average - but in McDowell, West Virginia, they live an average of 74.1 years. That's an almost 12-year difference.
Although men have a larger gap - 15.5 years - the numbers have changed less since 1989.
What causes these differences in life expectancy? According to the IHME, preventable causes such as tobacco, obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure may be to blame. Researchers found the differences in these factors affected the mortality rates of the sexes.
"Women aren't as encouraged by their doctors to get medication to ward off heart disease," Dr. Gina Lundberg, national spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, told USA Today . "And many doctors don't treat their symptoms as aggressively as they do in men. They'll say you have an upset stomach and send you home."
According to the researchers, an estimated 54,000 women's lives could be saved by reducing salt consumption alone.
Differences in health care treatments are another possible reason behind the gap. "What makes the difference is getting the right medication at the right dose," Mokdad said. "We screen people for diseases but don't always follow through to manage the diseases."
Despite the gender gaps, the life expectancy gap between African Americans and white Americans is growing smaller. In 1989, African Americans could expect to live 63.8 years on average, while white Americans had an average lifespan of 72.5 years - a difference of 8.7 years. In 2009, African American male life expectancy improved by nearly a decade to 71.2 years, and white male life expectancy improved at a slower rate to 76.7 years, narrowing the gap to 5.5 years. For women, the gap is even narrower, at 3.6 years. African American women on average in 2009 had a life expectancy of 77.9 years, compared with 81.5 years for white women.
County life expectancy rates can be found on the IHME website.

Hudební dramaturgie: Ondřej Havelka

The "white" variant of jazz, but above all dance, entertainment and hope – that's swing. The production gives an account of the clash between the free spirit of music and two totalitarian regimes, a testimony to the unequal struggle in the rhythm of enchanting melodies and the Melody Makers on the stage. The original revue, created directly for the National Theatre, will link up to the best of Ondřej Havelka's oeuvre. The production will pay tribute to Jiří Traxler, a remarkable jazzman and great star of Czech music. Inspired by the artist's memoirs, Havelka will adapt for the stage the part of Traxler's life connected with the Czech jazz scene, exposed to two dictatorships that fettered free music. The work does not depict a heroic but an everyday love story in a disjointed time.

In a 59-33 vote, Senators have adopted a measure that would limit government subsidies for crop insurance to roughly 20,000 of the wealthiest U.S. farmers, media reports say. The vote comes amid ongoing discussions in Washington over a new five-year farm bill.
The subsidy for the top 1% of farmers—those with gross adjusted incomes higher than $750,000—would fall to 47%, Reuters says. The government now pays 62 cents on every $1 in premiums.
Not everyone is pleased with the amendment, The Associated Press says. Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), who chairs the Senate Agriculture Committee, says it would cause fewer people to buy crop insurance and jeopardize another provision tying insurance to environmental compliance on farmland.
Learn more about the 2013 farm bill discussion in this video clip from AgDay:
Advice for Farmers
Jamie Wasemiller, Gulke Group analyst and owner of Wasemiller Insurance Agency, says this vote is just the latest in a long trend of scrutiny of the crop insurance program. "Between the House and the Senate, they really want to take money out of the crop insurance program."
Looking forward, Wasemiller says it is difficult to say what federal programs will be available for farmers. "There's a good chance that subsidies will not go down for those high-end guys, but we could certainly see this trickle down to all farmers."
His advice is to stay in touch with your senators and voice your opinion on the program. "Don't be afraid to hound those guys," he says.
Also, he suggests ramping up your knowledge and the overall structure of your crop insurance and marketing plan, so you can weather more risk. "Do the best you can today, so that no matter what the government or the weather does, we're in a place where we can say we can manage all those scenarios."

A woman with a heterotopic pregnancy has one embryo (or more)
growing inside the uterus, and one embryo (or more) growing outside of the
uterus. Like any ectopic pregnancy, an embryo growing in the cervix, a
fallopian tube, or against the outside wall of the uterus can be dangerous for
the mother, and must be removed.
Early in a heterotopic pregnancy, the ectopic embryo(s) can be
easily overlooked, because there are clear signs of pregnancy in the uterus.
That is why it is common for the first sign to be pain from a rupture of a
fallopian tube or the cervix.
Overall, heterotopic pregnancies are not common. They are most
common in women who have used assisted reproductive technology (ART) to become

A few episodes back, I reviewed a little T-Shirt contest site from Costa Rica called Bunker Designs. They're selection of tees was a bit sparse and the activity on the site  seemed to be a bit quiet. However, I'm pleasantly surprised to see that they've moved forward with a new website design and have released a selection of new, top notch T-Shirts.
The three new tees include What's Going On In My Mind and Starcatcher by HeavyHand, and GandALF by Sergio37. Both of the HeavyHand T-Shirts continue with the Bunker Design vibe that I really dug with Gulfie. Though I have to say that What's Going On In My Mind reminds me of a bit of Wotto's style (see Guilty Pleasures). As far as Starcatcher goes, I especially love the symmetry!
Now, GandALF is were things get a little bit weird for me. This parody shirt doesn't really fit in with the rest of the line, and looks like it would probably fit in more with something we'd find at RIPT or TeeFury (those guys love to parody). Don't get me wrong, I love me some ALF (I believe I've referenced ALF a few times on this blog before). I grew up with ALF so whether or not it fits in with the rest of the Bunker Designs T-Shirts, that's okay, because it made me smile!
Both Starcatcher and GandALF are available now from Bunker Designs for $20 and you can score What's Going On In My Head for $22. The best part is that you can score 20% off your entire Bunker Designs purchase by using the coupon code BDCOTY at checkout! Awesome.

I also wanted to try out a cool new container, made from Dakota's discarded art project: an extra-long tool box. After he drilled drainage holes in the bottom of each compartment, I filled them up with dirt and compost and planted my salad mixes. This year, I went with some lettuce mixes from Renee's Garden. They've all grown really nicely and the mixes provided a good variety of color and flavor in the salad bowl.
I also planted some baby romaine in the center of a large pot and surrounded it with baby carrots. That combination has worked out really well, with the romaine growing tall and healthy and the carrots happily growing downward around the rim of the pot.
I've also got a couple one small pot of chard and another pot of collards growing, although that's not really enough for a meal. I should have planted more.
Overall, though, I'm happy with my winter crop. I expended very little effort, and have already enjoyed many delicious salads fresh from the back patio. Hopefully the warm weather won't cause my greens to bolt too soon, and I'll get a few more cuttings off the plants this Spring.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades-long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse-drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honoured associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four-day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honoured personal guest would be rewarded with a private four-day meeting at Hitler's mountain top retreat.
Shell appeased and collaborated with the Nazis. The oil giant instructed its employees in the Netherlands to complete a form giving particulars about their descent, which for some, amounted to a self-declared death warrant. Shell used slave labour and was a close business partner in Germany of I.G. Farben, the notorious Nazi run chemical giant that also used slave labour and supplied the Zyklon-B gas used during the Holocaust to exterminate millions of people, including children. Shell continued the partnership with the Nazis in the years after the retirement of Sir Henri and even after his death. It was money generated on Shell forecourts around the world, profiteering from cartel oil prices, that funded the Nazi party and saved it from financial collapse. Evidence about Shell's Nazi connections can be found in extracts from "A History of Royal Dutch Shell" Volumes 1 and 2 authored by historians paid by Shell, who had unrestricted access to Shell archives. There are 67 pages in total, so takes some time to download.

CHAPTER 1: The best historians Shell could buy
Shell commissioned a group of eminent "independent" historians (above) mostly Dutch, to author a history of Royal Dutch Shell to mark the Group's centenary in 2007. The introduction in Volume 1 pledged independent research and "a proper and even-handed assessment of Deterding." Something went amiss because the "history," as published in regard to his dealings with Hitler, is simply untrue.
On 24 May 2015, a light-hearted story in the Prufrock column of The Sunday Times posed the question: "ARE corporate histories the new harbingers of doom?" It cited the release of corporate histories of two multinational banks that proved embarrassing to the banks due to unforeseen developments.
Wiesenthal Centre to Royal Dutch Shell CEO: 'Disassociate Your Company from Glorification of a Nazi War Criminal'
I recently became aware of a letter (see below) which a director of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre sent to Royal Dutch Shell CEO Ben van Beurden on 5 February 2015. The communication stemmed from my campaigning activities that ended with Allseas renaming the worlds largest ship. It had been named in honour of a Waffen SS officer, Pieter Schelte Heerema (right). I will shortly be supplying the Simon Wiesenthal Centre with a trove of evidence about Shell's Nazi history including its close partnership in Nazi Germany with IG Farben, the chemical giant which manufactured the gas used to exterminate several million Jewish people in the Holocaust. Dutch Directors of the Royal Dutch Shell Group including Sir Henri Deterding helped finance Hitler and the Nazi Party.

Definitive Technology CS-8040HD Center Channel Speaker
Optimum surround sound home theater reproduction places heavy demands on the center channel speaker, which in many respects is the main speaker in the system and often handles 50% or more of the program material. It's no place to compromise and settle for second best. All Definitive CS series center channel models are designed with the same rigid standards and high performance goals as main left and right front speakers and feature wide frequency response and extended dynamic range with extraordinary detail and articulation.
Bass Radiator Technology Makes a Dramatic Audible Difference Most audio experts agree that the ideal surround speaker system would have 5 identical truly full range speakers at every position. But most rooms and setups can't accommodate 5 identical large speakers. So we engineered the next best thing – a center speaker with robust bass response that fits on a shelf.
The CS-8040HD features two patented high-definition Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) 4-1/2 inch drivers that are pressure-coupled to a 5 x 10 inch racetrack-shaped planar Low-Bass Radiator. The result is bass extension unheard of in a center speaker of this size and price. With the CS-8040HD you will fully realize the performance potential of the center channel program material as the movie director intended it to be heard.
ts upward-firing bass radiator requires only 1" (25mm) of clearance, so it works perfectly whether you mount it in free-air or put it in a cabinet.
Patented Technology Delivers High Definition and Wide Dispersion The "HD" in the name of this speaker stands for High Dispersion. Dispersing the center channel sound evenly over a broad area of the room is vital if all listeners in the room (even those sitting well off-axis) are to hear clear, concise and highly intelligible dialog. We've engineered the CS models with our latest generation ultra-high definition midrange drivers that set new standards for wide dispersion.
The CS-8040HD features a D'Appolito array consisting of two cast-basket 4-1/2" (11cm) second generation BDSS midrange drivers surrounding a 1" annealed Pure Aluminum dome tweeter housed in an acoustically isolated sealed enclosure. These are the same drivers and tweeters used in the BP-8040ST bipolar SuperTower loudspeakers, making the CS-8040HD the perfect center channel match. The drivers feature Definitive's patented Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) technology that supports the speaker cone at both the inner and outer edges allowing longer, more linear excursion for greater clarity and finely textured inner detail. A new patent pending Linear Response Waveguide™ smoothes off-axis frequency response and disperses sound over a wider area for crystal clear intelligibility for every listener in the room.
The 1" (25mm) tweeter is a pure aluminum dome, which has been heat-treated to relax the crystal structure and then coated with a ceramic to produce extended highs that reveal nuance and shimmer without a trace of edginess.
Non-Resonant, Low-Diffraction Cabinet Maintains Sonic Purity All the driver and electronics technology in the world would be wasted if housed in a resonance-prone box. We lavished as much attention to the styling and construction of the 8040's enclosure as any other part of its design.
The tapered front of enclosure serves to make it appear slimmer and less obtrusive while also enhancing sound quality by minimizing cabinet diffraction distortion. The decorative high gloss end caps and top trim panel add elegance to the matte black grille cloth the way satin piping adds dash to a tuxedo.
But the enclosure's most important job is to be totally inert and resonance free so as not to color the sound. And that's just we did in engineering the CS enclosures. Wherever a driver or low bass radiator is attached to the cabinet we placed a second layer of heavy MDF (a low resonance wood composite) to prevent the moving drivers from imparting vibration to the rest of the enclosure. Tap on the top of a CS enclosure to hear the solid "thud" of a stiff, well-damped cabinet instead of the hollow ring of less-well constructed speakers. NOTE: the high gloss polymer composite end caps are decorative elements; they are not part of the acoustical system.
The Proof is in the Listening This extraordinary speaker sets a new reference standard for center speakers in its price and size class and achieves equally superb performance with both music and movies. The CS-8040HD reproduces a silky smooth, incredibly detailed music, dialog and sound effects at lifelike volume levels with a sense of ease which is truly remarkable. The elegant styling features beautiful sculptural refinements to Definitive's signature look.
Now that you're thoroughly impressed with the technology and passion we've poured into the CS-8040HD it is time to find a stocking dealer near you to audition this remarkable achievement of art and science

Hello Fellow Riders & CBR500R owners,
We would like your help for us to continue and finalize our step in making this screens a reality. ZG is looking to find a local person in the Ventura County area with this bike to loan us for 2~3weeks.
Why the long time to make a screen??
This bike model has painstaking steps to uninstall and install process, also it's a pretty crazy mold to duplicate. Given these obstacles, ZG is committed to the excellence it's know for, fit and finish!
So, if you are that person or know of a person with a bike local to us, give us a call at 805-388-8803 or email me at [email protected]. The time provided to us gets you our very first production screen + bragging rights with your bro's...

(Fairfield, CT) - The Sacred Heart Men's Hockey team has announced its incoming players for the 2011-12 season. The group includes two transfer players and seven freshmen to date.
The Pioneers are looking to shore up their blue line with the addition of three defensemen, including the two transfers. Jordan Ciccarello (New Hartford, CT) will begin his Pioneer career as a sophomore after sitting last season following his transfer from Clarkson. "He adds an element of skill and toughness to our blue line," said head coach C.J. Marottolo. "He is ultra competitive."
Will Rayner (Newton, MA) joins him on defense after transfer from UMASS-Lowell following the end of last semester. At 6-3, Marottolo envisions him bringing a physical presence to the line-up. "He will add size and toughness to our blue line, and will make our team tougher to play against in our own end," said Marottolo. "He has a great knack for open-ice hits." Before his brief time at UMASS-Lowell, he played at South Kent Prep and Needham (Mass.) High School.
Jared Eng (North Vancouver, BC) rounds out the incoming blue-liners. The freshman is known as a skilled, poised, and very good puck-moving transitional type of defenseman. Last season, he scored seven goals with 23 assists in 57 games for the Coquitlam Express of the British Columbia Hockey League, displaying what Marottolo called "great vision and power play skills from the back end."
"Ciccarello and Rayner are big, strong, tough, competitive, warrior-type guys," said Marottolo. "Combined with a smooth-skating offensive-minded guy in Eng, joining our returning group of defensemen, we feel very confident with our defensive core."
Up front, Sacred Heart will look to benefit from the addition of five forwards.
Ben Lake (Calgary, AB) comes to SHU known for being a fast, strong, two-way center who is very good in face offs. "He'll bring grit, intelligence, and speed," said Marottolo. The past two seasons for the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, he scored consistently. He followed up his 2009-10 scoring line of 24-27-51 in 58 games with a 2010-11 scoring line of 23-29-52 in 53 games.
Brian Sheehan (St. Louis, MO) begins his collegiate career after tallying a line of 23-44-67 in 44 games for the Jersey Hitmen of the Eastern Junior Hockey League. "He is extremely skilled with a great, quick stick, said Marottolo. "We're looking for him to a point producer."
Chad Barthelmess (Norristown, PA) also come to Fairfield by way of the EJHL, after totaling 24-23-47 in 42 games for the Springfield Pics last year. "He is strong, fast, and can really shoot a puck," said Marottolo.
Ryan Stanimir (West Vancouver, BC) looks to build on a season in the British Columbia Hockey League in which he produced nearly a point per game (20-35-55 in 56 games) for the Nanaimo Clippers. "He has a good stick, very good hockey IQ, and great offensive instincts," said Marottolo.
Drew George (Regina, SK) comes to the Pioneers by way of the Weyburn Red Wings of the Saskatoon Junior Hockey League, where he put up a scoring total of 21-36-57 in 47 games. "He is highly skilled, and a great play-maker who can make those around him better," said Marottolo.
Sacred Heart has also added a goalie to their roster in Andrew Bodnarchuk (Saskatoon, SK), from the Humboldt Broncos of the highly competitive Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. This past season, he compiled a record of 22-13-1 with a 3.25 GAA and .895 Save Percentage. Two seasons ago, he was the MVP of the league with a record of 18-14-1-5 with a 2.82 GAA and .916 Save Percentage in 2,216 minutes.
"We're extremely excited about our incoming group," said Marottolo. "We feel we've addressed certain needs, reevaluated our team, and these young men combined with our returning players should make for an exciting year for Sacred Heart Hockey."
The Pioneers open their season October 7-8 on the road for two games against the University of Minnesota.

Scouting programs include Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Scoutreach, Learning for Life and Exploring. Specifically geared toward different age groups, interests, abilities, needs, and settings, the programs address character development in the 21st century.
Scouting has come a long way in nearly 100 years. Changing as the community and needs have changed, the Boy Scouts remain true to its mission. Today, the Denver Boy Scouts — in addition to its core programs — offer non-traditional programs for inner-city youth, as well as venturing and exploring programs specifically geared to young women and men, ages 14-20.
Cub Scouts is broken down into three groups — Tiger, Cub and Webelos — and is the first and biggest of the Scouting programs. All three year-round family and home-centered programs encourage ethical decision-making skills, and are geared to specific age groups. If your child enjoys camping, building things, field trips and sports, then Cub Scouts is for them.
Tiger Cubs (youth who are in the first grade or 7 years old) are just getting the hang of being a Scout, so the program emphasizes shared leadership, learning about the community and family understanding. Tiger Cubs participate in the program with their adult partners.
Cub Scouts are 8, 9, and 10 year-olds in grades 2-5. Activities emphasize character development, citizenship training and personal fitness.
Webelos Scouts (10 year-old boys). Webelos Scouts participate in more advanced activities that begin to prepare them to become Scouts BSA.
Scouts BSA is the second Scouting program and is tailored to youth 11-17 years old. This year-round program emphasizes vigorous outdoor activities, and developing leadership skills and teamwork — all under the guidance of an adult Scoutmaster. (Youth also may become Scouts BSA if they have earned the Cub Scouting Arrow of Light Award and are at least 10 years old or have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10 years old.)
Venturing is a year-round program for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years of age to provide positive experiences through exciting and meaningful youth-run activities that help them pursue their special interests, grow by teaching others, and develop leadership skills.
Sea Scouts is a specialized segment of the Venturing program, which was organized to address members' boating skills and promote knowledge of our maritime heritage. Sea Scout units, called "ships," focus on sailing and cruising either sailboats or power vessels.
Scoutreach is a division within the Denver Boy Scouts with an emphasis to recruit strong adult leaders and to develop strong relationships with chartered organizations in urban, suburban and rural areas, removing financial barriers to ensure that all youth have the opportunity to join Scouting.
Learning for Life was developed to meet the critical needs of our nation's schools and communities. Youth today have more needs than ever before. Learning for Life is designed to support schools and other youth-serving organizations in their efforts toward preparing youth to successfully handle the complexities of today's society and to enhance their self-confidence, motivation, and self-worth. Learning for Life makes academic learning fun and relevant to real-life situations. It helps youth reach beyond themselves by placing them in situations that help them to understand and act constructively. As a result, the values and skills learned by participating in Learning for Life not only make youth more confident and capable, but give them an invaluable understanding of how things work in the real world. A subsidiary of the Boy Scouts of America, Learning for Life prepares youth to make ethical decisions that will help them achieve their full potential.
Exploring is a worksite-based program. It is a part of Learning for Life's career education program for young men and women ages 14-20 years old and have completed the eighth grade.

Will the battle for Long
Beach destroy the event?
There has been a lot of speculation in
the media since last weekend about the future of the Long Beach Grand Prix, a
fixture on the Champ Car calendar since 1985. AutoRacing1.com has learned
that Tony George recently tried to buy the race out from under Champ Car by
throwing a lot of money at it. His goal was to announce Long Beach was in
the IRL's hands on Monday.
As we understand it, Tony's offer was
rejected by Dover Motorsports, the owner of the race. Dover, being a public
company, can't simply sell an event to an individual or a company. There are
laws that protect the shareholders that require a certain process be followed.
Dover can do one of two things, they
can renegotiate an extension of the existing contract with Champ Car and that
remains a possibility. Alternately, and the route they are likely to take
because they may want to get out of the street racing business and focus on oval
racing events I hear, is to hire a firm and auction off the event to the highest
On the open market, the race could
fall to the IRL, to NASCAR, to Champ Car, or to just about any other sanctioning
body that is deemed fit to put on a street race in Long Beach. While Champ
Car is willing to bid on the event, there comes a price whereby it's not
economically feasible to ever turn a profit.
Champ Cars races on the
streets of Las Vegas (above) and Los Angeles are in the works
AutoRacing1.com has learned that the
rumors of Champ Car having an alternate venue should they lose the race are true.
Talks are in advanced stages for a street race in Los Angeles and a street race in
Las Vegas, one week before and one week after the Long Beach race through
Champ Car knows the dates of every
Long Beach race that far in advance and have made contingency plans to make Long
Beach the meat in the sandwich. Champ Car wants to maintain a presence in
the Southern California market and they want to have two events instead of one for
their loyal Long Beach fans to attend every April.
With all the Champ Car fans following
their beloved series to LA and Las Vegas, the result will effectively destroy any
chance of Long Beach turning a profit and another great American racing tradition
destroyed because of the actions of Tony George and his desire to take away
everything Champ Car has worked to build. As we understand it, Toyota is
worried that their marquee event may be destroyed because of this battle.
While Champ Car fans may be emotional
about this whole topic, we doubt Kevin Kalkhoven, Gerald Forsythe and Paul
Gentilozzi are. They are businessmen, smart businessmen, who do business deals all
the time. They have learned that it's better to do a smart business deal
than do one certain to fail because the asking price was too high. There's
no place for emotions in these high stake games of poker.
If Champ Car does lose the race it
will not play well in the media for them. More importantly it will not play
well with the legions of fans who have had enough of Tony George trying to
undermine their racing series at every turn.
Perhaps even more important than all
that is the fact that open wheel racing in the USA will be further damaged, the
fan base even more polarized, and NASCAR that much stronger.
Tony George wasn't smiling
when he learned his attempt to buy Long Beach was rebuffed
So why would Tony George risk further
damage to the sport for one race? A simple answer - desperation.
Apparently getting the Long Beach race into the IRL fold is his last chance to
keep Toyota in the series. With no American manufacturer to compete against, and
with Toyota's plan to go NASCAR racing, the chance of Toyota staying is apparently
slim to none, but they do value the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. If
Toyota leaves the IRL like everyone is predicting, the IRL would be left with just
Honda and some doubt Honda is in racing to just beat themselves.
Over the next month or two this story
is likely to generate a lot of media, especially if the race goes up for auction.
That process is likely to take quite awhile. It's all in the hands of the
Dover Board. If they renew with Champ Car, the Long Beach race can be saved
quickly and the city can breathe easy.
If it goes up for auction, I predict
the price will be bid so high that Champ Car will walk away, go to Plan B and hold
the two races mentioned above. At that point I doubt the Long Beach race
will have much of a future because the financial deal will be cost prohibitive and
the race mired in red ink.
A sad day for racing.

In the hospital supply room, Ricardo Thomas checks his list against the boxes he has put on a cart to take to an operating area, making sure he has it right.
"You look at the stock number and you will know — so you don't get mixed up," Thomas says, pointing to the number on the form and then the number on the carton. "Right there is the stock number." He double-checks to make sure the form and carton list the same materials.
"I sign out the orders, and I take them where they have to go," Thomas says.
The 20-year-old Crofton man is among nine intellectually and students with developmental disabilities with internships at Anne Arundel Medical Center. The supply room is the first of three hospital locations — he'll spend 10 weeks in each — where Thomas will learn a job in a program that is helping him navigate the shift from school to the working world. He acknowledges that he had some trouble learning all the parts of the job, but his instructor — who is from the Hannah More School, which works with students with certain disabilities — has been helping him.
The Annapolis hospital is the first employer in the county to take part in Project Search, a nationwide program begun more than a decade ago at a Cincinnati hospital.
The goal is to train people with disabilities — those who can work fairly independently — for jobs that make them part of a larger staff by immersing them in a few positions and providing support while they learn.
"We focus on what they can do and what they are good at," says Rebecca White of the Arc of the Central Chesapeake Region, who is managing the project. The hospital, she says, offers placements in a variety of settings.
The positions are ones in which the work is readily broken down into a series of repetitive tasks, including clerical duties, making reminder calls to patients and taking vital signs. A student's day includes an hour of classroom work — resume-writing, interview techniques, money management and the like — and five hours on the job, with coaching from instructors to ensure he or she is doing the work correctly. They're expected to become comfortable in the setting and navigate the hospital's sprawling campus.
Michele Dilegge, one of the county schools' special-education workers steering the program, describes Project Search as "more intense" than most vocational programs for students with disabilities, and says it offers them a shot at more competitive jobs.
"It is more meaningful work. It's not the traditional jobs," she says, referring to positions such as stocking storerooms and mopping floors. "We want the kids to have more of a career."
For Kelsey Williams, 20, of Annapolis, who is hoping for a hospital job, her coming internship requires certification in CPR because she'll be around patients. Currently filling linen and hospital gown orders and bringing them to the correct unit, and helping with cleaning duties, Williams wanted her next position to be transporting patients within the hospital.
"They didn't say no. But they said, 'These are things you have to be able to do,' " White says. With help from one of the people on her support team, Williams earned a two-year specialized CPR certification.
Seven of the internship students are preparing to receive high school certificates next spring from Anne Arundel County public schools, and two are clients of Arc. Because of their disabilities, they may receive schooling until they are 21.
The program is good for the community, good for the hospital and good for the interns, says Sharon Borland, AAMC's human resources director. That's not to say there weren't rough spots as the hospital began carving out tasks for students in August, but, she says, that was to be expected with a new project.
"We'll only be able to impact a dozen folks a year, but it does help them be able to get employment," Borland says. "We are definitely committed to making this work and helping other employers pick this up."
The program pulls together state, regional and local resources for people with disabilities and approaches businesses to form a team that is led largely by the businesses, with the others providing support for the students. At AAMC, the program has drawn together people and resources from the Hannah More School, which operates programs at county schools; Arc; the state's Division of Rehabilitative Services; and Service Coordination, a nonprofit that links people with disabilities to resources. Already, officials say, they're looking to get other employers involved.

Game 3, UMBC vs. UMES Game Notes
America East Game Notes
BALTIMORE – UMBC women's basketball returns home to take on Saturday, Nov. 16 to take on UMES at the RAC Arena. Game time is set for 1 p.m., with the action airing live on Q1370/www.q1370.com and on UMBCRetrievers.tv courtesy of the America East digital network. Troy Green and Dan Levin have the call.
SCOUTING THE RETRIEVERS (1-1): In a busy start to the campaign, UMBC posted a 1-1 record in the opening three days of the season, defeating Eastern (Pa.) on Monday, 59-50, before falling, 78-62, to Coppin State on Wednesday. Freshman forward Sara Tarbert has started her career out with a bang, becoming the first America East freshman in this decade to open up her career with back-to-back 20-point efforts, including a game-high 23 points in her latest outing against the Eagles, in addition to a double-double in her collegiate-opener. The forward is averaging 22.0 points and 7.5 rebounds through two games. Fellow freshman Emily Russo has added steady play from the point guard position, shooting 62.5 percent from three-point land and registering 11 points in two-straight games to start out her career.
Sophomore center Bridget O'Donnell is shooting a team-best 69.2 percent from the floor thus far and is grabbing 7.0 rebounds per game. O'Donnell has already surpassed her scoring output from a season ago, while also registering a career-high four blocks against Eastern and dishing out a career-high four assists versus Coppin State. Rookie guard Taylor McCarley is coming off the bench and providing 5.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per contest for the Retrievers.
Head coach Phil Stern is in his 12th season at the helm of the Retrievers' program and is 12 victories away from becoming the program's all-time winningest coach, a mark Sue Furnary captured while coaching the black and gold from 1980-1993 and posting a 152-193 record.
The Retrievers, who were picked to finish seventh in the America East Coaches' Preseason poll, own the youngest roster in the America East, as the squad features nine newcomers, while returning one senior and a pair of sophomores. UMBC returned eight percent of its scoring from a year ago and had a combined 21 Division I starts on its roster coming into the season, all coming from senior captain Dana Lewis.
SCOUTING THE LADY HAWKS (0-2): UMES is in the midst of a three-game road swing and is winless heading into Saturday's contest, having dropped its first two contests of the 2013-14 campaign by a combined 11 points. The Lady Hawks are coming off a 76-69 loss to American on Wednesday, despite a combined 51 points from guards Jessica Long and TeAmber Burke. Long, a junior guard, tallied a career-high 28 points in the loss, while Burke, a sophomore guard, added 23 points.
Through two games, Burke and Long are averaging 20-plus points for UMES. Long is shooting 51.7 percent from the field to average 22.5 points per game, while adding 4.5 assists per contest. Burke has hit 8-of-14 shots from beyond the arc and is averaging 20.0 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. The Lady Hawks are outrebounding their opponents by 7.5 rebound per game, behind red-shirt sophomore forward Alexis Udoji and senior forward Shanyce Stewart, who are cleaning up the glass by averaging 10 boards per game thus far this season.
INSIDE THE SERIES: UMBC owns a 7-3 advantage in the all-time series, but UMES has won two of the last three matchups. The Retrievers are 5-0 all-time on their home court against the Lady Hawks.
LAST TIME OUT AGAINST THE LADY HAWKS: UMBC had a chance to tie the game with 25 seconds remaining in last December's meeting in Princess Anne, Md., but the Retrievers could not get the roll and would go on to lose, 51-45, despite Bria White's team-best 15 points. Guard Raven Harris matched a career-high with seven steals and added 12 points and six rebounds.
ON THE HORIZON FOR THE RETRIEVERS: The Retrievers play at home for the third time in four games when they host American on Wednesday, Nov. 20. UMBC finishes out the month with four consecutive games away from the RAC Arena, including a pair of games in the Navy Classic on Nov. 29 and 30.

All residential areas of UIS Residence Life support a laundry area for student use. Each court of the townhouse and apartment complexes has a laundry facility. Each Residence Hall has laundry facilities on each floor of the building. All machines are maintained by our outside contractor, MacGray. All machines are operated with your student iCard. When using your iCard, you will need to make sure funds are on your card in order to activate any machines.
iCard Instructions on how to activate the laundry machines:
- Locate the number of the machine you wish to use. Each machine is tagged with a number
- Activate the machine by "swiping" your iCard through the control box and entering the machine number of the unit you wish to use.
- Once selected, follow instructions on the screen of the control box.
- Once machine is active, fill with item to be laundered.
- Select appropriate cycle and close lid/door.
- Do not over load the machine. Overloading the machine will have an adverse effect on your clothes including, but not limited to:
- Clothes retaining soap after rinse cycle
- Clothes not drying
- Clothes being damaged
Refunds on laundry machines
If you experience an issue where a refund is necessary, you will need to visit one of two offices depending on the method of payment in which you attempted to use.
If you are using cash, you will need to visit Dining Services located in the Public Affairs Center, Room 117. An employee will handle your request.
If you are using your iCard, you will need to visit the iCard Office located in the Public Affairs Center, Room 124 (outside the Emporium food court).
Helpful Hints for Care of Your Clothing
- Read labels for care of your garments. If an item says "Dry Clean Only" then the materials and fabric used to make the garment was intended for a gentle wash cycle with little water. Not following the care instructions could damage your clothing.
- Separate your whites, bright colors, dark colors and jeans; dress shirts and pants should be separated as well if you are not dry cleaning.
- Select proper wash cycle
- Wash Whites – In hot water and rinse in cold water (normal cycle)
- Wash Bright Colors – In cold water and rinse in cold water (normal cycle)
- Wash Dark Colors – In cold water and rinse in cold water (normal cycle)
- Wash Jeans – In warm or cold water and rinse in cold water (normal cycle)
- Wash Dress shirts/pants – In cold water and rinse in cold water (delicate cycle)
- Use laundry detergent of your choice. Fabric softener and dryer sheets are optional. Follow directions on the label of the detergent and use correct measurements. Adding too much detergent will not get your clothes cleaned and will leave them filled with soap. Concentrated detergents do not require a full cap full unless specifically stated.
- Do not stuff or overfill the machines. If the agitator inside the basket of the washer cannot rotate, then your clothes will not get cleaned. Furthermore you run the risk of fire from the belt heating up from spinning around the base and spindle trying to rotate the agitator.
- Dry clothes in the same separate piles you created to washed. Stuffing the dryer will not only keep your clothes from drying, but will waste your money and your time.
Recommendations for Use of Machines:
- Use liquid detergent instead of powder or Pods
- Do not use High Efficiency (he) detergent in front loading machines (despite videos)
- Accurately measure soap to avoid producing too much suds
- Report machine malfunctions to the 800-number provided, through a work order or to a staff member.

The head of the international monitoring group in Ukraine is hopeful unarmed Australian and Dutch police will be able to access the MH17 crash site and start retrieving bodies "within one or two days".
OSCE chief monitor Ertugrul Apakan met with top Ukrainian officials in Kiev on Tuesday after the international policing mission was unable to reach the site for a third day running due to heavy shelling in the Donetsk region.
Mr Apakan said Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko had now "instructed all institutions to be helpful to the OSCE" special monitoring mission (SMM).
"He's asking us to reach the crash site as soon as possible in order to remove the remnants of the bodies and carry out an investigation by the international taskforce," the chief monitor told reporters in Kiev.
"There's progress and we expect that the SMM will move to the crash site, with the international taskforce, within a short span of time, tomorrow or the other (next) day.
"We are working, if possible, within one or two days to be there."
Mr Apakan said the OSCE was coordinating with all the parties on the ground including pro-Russia militants who have conceded they are losing territory to Ukrainian forces.
Acting Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, speaking alongside the OSCE chief monitor, said Ukraine was making continuous efforts to secure entry to the crash site "but we continuously encounter provocations".
Mr Groysman said the president was making "every effort humanly possible to stop the provocations".
"We have designed a clear-cut plan that will provide for our final entry," the acting PM told reporters via a translator.
"We are in close co-operation with the Netherlands and our colleagues from Australia and other international partners."
Mr Groysman is hopeful of some good news "in the forthcoming hours or maybe a day".
He vowed there'd be no military action within a 20km exclusion zone and no shots would be fired "in the direction of the area where we will have some movements of the taskforce".
The acting PM added: "We know that terrorists are still in control of the territory."
Mr Groysman expects parliament on Thursday to ratify deals between Australia and the Netherlands and Ukraine regarding the humanitarian policing mission.
"This will enable the exercise of actions that will lead to a quicker investigation of what has happened," he said on Tuesday afternoon.
The deployment agreements would allow Australia and the Netherlands to send in armed police or soldiers if required.

Four AT&T stores have been burglarized or damaged in the Loop and Near North Side during the month of December and police are trying to find those responsible.
The crimes have all occurred between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., a Business Alert from Belmont Area detectives said.
The suspects hurl bricks or rocks at the windows and once inside, they grab items they can easily carry such as phone or small electronic equipment, the alert said.
The businesses -- at 205 W. Monroe, 168 N. State St., and 356 N. Clark St. -- are all AT&T stores.
The recent pattern began on Dec. 3 at 3:30 a.m. when the suspects criminally damaged property at 205 W. Monroe St., according to police News Affairs Officer Darryl Baety.
Next, the suspects burglarized and forcibly entered a business at 168 N. State St. on Dec. 22 at 4:58 a.m.
Latest Breaking News
On Dec. 30, they hit the same business on Monroe in another criminal damage to property, and about one hour later, the suspects burglarized the business at 356 N. Clark St., said Baety.
The suspects are described as being males between the ages of 17 and 30, who wear dark clothing and hooded sweatshirts, the alert said.
Anyone with information should call detectives, (312) 744-8263.

Diahann Carroll bows out of Broadway return
Movie and TV veteran DIAHANN CARROLL has pulled out of plans to make her Broadway return in a revival of A RAISIN IN THE SUN.
The 78 year old signed on last year (13) to portray Denzel Washington's mother in a new version of Lorraine Hansberry's play, her first Broadway role in 30 years, and the show was due to begin previews next month (Mar14).
However, Carroll has since bowed out of the production, blaming the vigorous schedule for her decision to step down, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Samuel L. Jackson's actress wife, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, has been picked to replace Carroll as family matriarch Lena Younger, despite only being five years older than 59-year-old Washington.
The play will mark Richardson Jackson's first role on Broadway since starring in a 2009 revival of August Wilson's Joe Turner's Come and Gone. She joins a cast which also includes Anika Noni Rose and Sophie Okonedo.

Thanks to Mind Loves Misery's Menagerie for this week's photo (collage) prompt.
Autumn was such a time for us,
Love was fun, nothing dangerous.
Leaves falling deep red, orange, yellow.
Met you walking, strong and mellow.
Attractiveness found, conversation, tokens.
Hid memories in a box, saved before broken.
Paper boats sailed on peaceful lake,
Sitting 'neath trees, in your arms wake.
Photographs you took of me and —
Made me laugh, giggle; life was grand.
Such times we had, you lugging your camera around,
Pictures of us, many left, they're here surrounding.
Photobooth, and I sat on your —
Lap; laughing again, not sorry.
Your handsome face, so dear to me,
Making you laugh, my mission, see?
Making faces in photos in my underwear,
I knew I could coax out a smile, you loved me bare.
Exposed to you, negatives shot,
Our days close, even when we fought.
Knew you well, every smile and frown,
Wish you were alive, but you drowned.
Now our time is done, my photographer, my love.
All these pictures snapped, thinking of us, our short love.
A spritz of the perfume I wore,
The day we meant, special for —
Not forgetting you now; playing —
Songs we sang, piano keys they say,
Through music what I could never admit alone,
Autumn was our time, in your arms laying, I was home.

Charles Yancy Trice was married two times, according to his obituaries. The mystery is where and when was he married? Was he married to two women at the same time? Did he get a divorce?
My grandmother was the daughter of Charles and his second wife Luna (Lena) Estelle Drake. C Y, by which he was often known, supposedly married Luna about 1891. They had three children, three girls. Ruth was born in 1892 in Bourbon County, Kansas, and died in 1901 in Lamar, Barton County, Missouri.
My grandmother Katherine knew her half-brother and half-sister. Harriet and Odon were born in 1885 and 1886 respectively, so they were much older than my grandmother and her sister.
The real mystery: According to a headstone in Belle Vista Cemetery, in El Dorado, Kansas, Parlee (include various spellings) died in 1893. There is also a death notice in the courthouse in Butler County, stating that she died in 1893. However, Ruth daughter of Luna (second wife) and C. Y., was born about 1892 according to 1900 census records and obituary for Ruth.
So, did Paralee and Charles get a divorce? Were they ever married? Or did Charles Y. Trice really marry Luna? Just one of the numerous mysteries I need to solve.
