TITLE: A Ballerina In Cowboy Boots-Chapter Three
By Marilyn Klunder
"Hey, Maggie, wait up!" Ashley yelled.
"Hey, Ash."
"Have you seen the new kid yet? He's so cute! His name is Christian. He attended over at Parkview until his parents moved across town. I can't wait till you meet him. You're going to fall in love!" Ashley giggled.
"Get real, Ash. I don't care about boys and you know it!" Maggie replied. "Besides I'm going home to ride Lucky." We only have a few hours before dark and Dad's new rules say I have to be in the house before it even starts to get dark."
"What is so exciting about riding a horse? You do that every day; but meeting the hottest guy to hit eighth grade at Jefferson Middle School only comes once in a lifetime. You've gotta meet him!" Ashley squealed.
"Oh, Ash, will you ever grow up? Boys are for the drippy girls that can't stop looking at themselves in the mirror. Not me. I'm never going to be that way." Maggie turned and walked toward the busses leaving Ashley still talking. Maggie stepped on the bus and turned and looked at Ashley. No matter how silly Ashley seemed, Maggie still appreciated her friendship.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Ash." And she waived and boarded the bus. Maggie took her usual seat which was right in the middle of the bus. She plopped down in the seat and sat her book bag on the floor. She pulled out her CD player and put on her headphones and started to listen to her favorite artist, Carrie Underwood. It would take about forty minutes to get to her house and then she would saddle up Lucky and hit the trail.
Maggie closed her eyes and started thinking of the conversation she just had with Ashley. She and Ashley had been friends for a long time; since kindergarten she thought. They had been through a lot together and without Ashley, she didn't know how she would've gotten through her mom and dad's divorce. But she and Ashley couldn't be any further apart in what they thought was important. Ashley was caught up in the whole boy thing, and Maggie could care less. Maggie loved nature and Ashley couldn't survive without television, Playstation, cell phones and curling irons. Maggie loved animals and Ashley was mostly afraid of them. It was an odd friendship to say the least.
Maggie closed her eyes to listen to the song on the CD. Closing her eyes blocked out the distraction of the other kids on the bus. The song playing on the CD player wasn't Maggie's favorite song, but she continued to listen. This song actually told a story about a young mother who calls out to Jesus to help save her and her baby from spinning out of control in her car. It's easy to make up stories about how Jesus answers prayers, but Maggie knew different.
All of a sudden Maggie was jolted out of her seat and she heard the squealing of tires and felt the abrupt stopping of the bus.
"Is everyone O.K.?" The bus driver yelled. He unbuckled his belt and made his way down the center aisle.
"Is anyone hurt?" He asked this time. He continued to the back of the bus.
A few of the little ones started to cry.
"What happened?" Someone asked.
The bus driver helped pick up the strewn books and book bags. He asked the older kids to check on the younger kids.
"It was a herd of deer crossing the road. They came out from behind the trees. I couldn't stop. The bus driver was shaken too, but he tried to keep calm for the sake of the younger children who were already crying. By this time other vehicles came upon the scene. They stopped and checked on the children. One person even called the local police.
Oh great, Maggie thought. There goes my ride with Lucky. Maggie picked up her book bag and CD player and placed it on her seat. She looked around to see if there was anyone who needed help. Everyone looked O.K. and now the bus was getting noisy again.
"Everyone please, if you're O.K. and don't need any help, please stay in your seat. We will be making a report with the police department and then we will be on our way," the bus driver said.
Maggie looked out the window. What she saw sent shivers all the way down her body. Laying along the side of the road was the crumpled up remains of two of the dear that had tried to cross the road.
"How awful," Maggie whispered. Maggie thought of Lucky and tears filled her eyes. The thought of seeing Lucky in a mangled mess was just to unbearable for Maggie. Lucky was the only peace she had in this world.
Maggie looked away and sat back down in her seat. She placed her book bag on the floor and put her headphones back on. She closed her eyes again to block out the noise, but also to block out the image of the two deer beside the road.
"Is this seat taken?"
Maggie was lost in her music and thoughts and did not respond to the question.
"Is this seat taken?" This time she felt the nudge on her shoulder.
Maggie opened her eyes and pulled the head phones off her head.
"Oh, hi." She sat up in her seat and scooted her book bag under her feet.
"Can I sit here?" He asked.
"Knock yourself out." She replied.
"Hi, I'm Christian," he said.
"I don't care if you're a Christian, you can still sit there," Maggie said.
"No, my name is Christian. I'm the new kid," he replied.
"Hi, I'm Maggie. I'm the old kid."
Christian ignored the sarcasm and continued.
"I don't think I saw you at school today. What grade are you in? What classes do you take?" Christian asked.
"I'm in eighth grade and Biology-World History-the usual junk." She said uninterested.
"You don't sound like you like your classes." Christian said.
"Borrrring!" Maggie said. "Actually school is boring and I can't wait till I'm done with all that."
"What's your hurry?" Christian asked.
"I just want to do other things." Maggie replied. Maggie looked out the window and saw the policeman and the bus driver talking.
"Other things?" Christian asked.
"Yeah, you know, like ride my horse and work in the barn and take care of the animals," she said. "Important stuff."
Maggie couldn't help but notice Christian's good looks. He had dark curly hair and green eyes. He was tall and thin and wore the latest style in clothes.
"Hey, we're moving." Christian said. Clapping and shouts of relief filled the bus.
"It's about time," Maggie whispered.
Maggie's thoughts went back to her horse. She would at least get to spend extra time in the barn with Lucky, she thought. It wasn't the same as when they road together, but just being around her horse brought her much peace.
"Well, maybe I'll see you at school tomorrow?" Christian asked.
"Could be," Maggie replied uninterested.
Christian couldn't figure Maggie out. She was different than most of the girls he's met so far. She was just as cute maybe even prettier than most, but she also had a tough exterior. Christian wondered what she was really like, on the inside.

text: AUSTIN, Texas - The Circuit of the Americas stepped into the spotlight on Thursday, November 15, 2012, as Formula 1's best surveyed the track that could crown a Driver's champion and breathe life into a sport largely ignored in the United States.The eyes of the motor racing world will be focused on Texas this weekend as F1 returns to the US after a five-year hiatus with the circuit providing a stage for what could be a dramatic finish to the season and the start of a new era for the glamour series in a market it is determined to conquer.TEXAS, US GP'S HOME?Unfamiliar ground to every driver, the undulating 5.516km circuit carved out of the south Texas scrublands will provide a level playing field as Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel tries to fend off a challenge from Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and clinch a third consecutive Driver's championship.Unable to find a suitable long-term venue, F1 has barnstormed its way around the US with Austin becoming the 10th city to host a race after Sebring (Florida), Riverside (California), Watkins Glen (New York), Phoenix (Arizona), Dallas (Texas), Detroit (Michigan), Las Vegas (Nevada), Long Beach (California) and Indianapolis (Indiana).But even before one of the sleek cars had turned a wheel on the track, F1's commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone gave the circuit two thumbs up, hopeful that the long search for a permanent US home had finally come to an end.Ecclestone said: "It looks very much like a permanent circuit and I hope it remains permanent as far as F1 goes. We have a contract and we would be happy to stay here. It's absolutely first class. All things we wanted to get done have been done."We've taken the good bits from all the different circuits and tried to put them together. It should make good racing."Until Thursday, most drivers' view of the circuit had come in simulators used to help familiarise them to the 20-turn layout.But after getting their first look at the circuit the two words most commonly used to describe the twisting track were "challenging" and "interesting".ANYTHING COULD HAPPENMcLaren's Lewis Hamilton said: "I think everyone has done simulation. It is quite a difficult track and quite difficult to learn initially but it looks fantastic to drive. I really started to enjoy it once I got used to it but it took perhaps a little longer than some of the other circuits to learn."It's going to be very interesting this weekend."Vettel had also tested in a simulator but reserved judgment on the circuit until he gets out in a race car for first practice on Friday, November 16, 2012.Vettel said: "It looks quite interesting but there is always the feeling you get inside the car which is the important so I am looking forward tomorrow. Before anything happens we have to make sure we get the maximum on Friday and Saturday because the points are there to grab on Sunday. Not before."Vettel, who will be competing in his 100th GP, must finish Sunday's race with 15 more points than his Spanish rival, which can be produced by many combination of results.ALONSO AND VETTELA sixth victory this season would give Vettel the title if Alonso places outside the top four. Should Alonso fail to score a point Vettel must still finish at least third to keep the title from going down to the final race of the season in Brazil on November 25, 2012.While Vettel may hold a slight advantage in the standings, Alonso believes he has the edge when it comes handling the pressure having four times entered the final races of the season fighting for a title.Alonso said: "In 2006 I arrived at the last race fighting with Michael Schumacher in Brazil. It was a quite stressful and intense weekend."In 2007, it was also a very stressful last race fighting three for the world championship and in 2010 we arrived at Abu Dhabi fighting for World championship in the last race. I was much more calm there and confident. Now in these last two races I feel completely normal. This is the fourth time we fight for the World championship hopefully until the last race. "We will concentrate on our job and try to do a good weekend and fight for the championship in Brazil. In my case I cannot do anything here, I can only save this match point and wait for Brazil."

Women Farmers: A Day in the Life of Polly Apio
Polly Apio is a smallholder farmer in rural Uganda. Almost as soon as she gets up in the morning she starts work and she doesn't stop until it's time to go to bed again.
Polly's life is typical of most women in Uganda, where men own and control the land, but women who toil in the fields to provide the food to feed their families.
Women produce over 50% of all food grown worldwide. In sub-Saharan Africa, they grow around 90% of the food, yet little global investment is being made to support women farmers. With the help of the charity, Action Aid, Polly has been learning how best to farm her land. It provides training, and advice on things like crop rotation, the best crops to grow in the climate and soil, and money management. In turn, she passes on the training to other women.
Women's access to land ownership, financial services, education, healthcare and human rights is the key to assuring food security for all, and emboldened by the support of the charity Polly is trying to set up a women's co-operative to help and support women secure their rights.
Cecile Wright went to Uganda to experience a day in the life of Polly Apio, and to explore the efforts and determination of women in Uganda to take control of their lives.

Livan Hernandez struck out a season-high seven after a rough start, and the New York Mets put together another well-balanced offensive performance in an 8-3 win over the Houston Astros on Sunday.
Hernandez (7-5) allowed only four singles after the Astros built a 3-0 lead in the first inning. He threw 107 pitches in seven innings and won his second straight start after losing the previous four.
Luis Castillo, Jeff Francoeur and David Wright drove in two runs apiece for the Mets, who had at least 12 hits for the third straight game. New York beat Houston 10-3 on Saturday after scoring fewer than five runs in 15 of its previous 20 games.
Houston's Brian Moehler (7-6) gave up five runs on eight hits in 4 2-3 innings, his shortest outing since June 9. He lost for the second time in seven starts.
But Hernandez was the pitcher in trouble early, needing 36 pitches to escape the first inning. Kaz Matsui walked with one out before Miguel Tejada, Carlos Lee and Geoff Blum hit consecutive doubles. Blum tried to score on Hunter Pence's single up the middle, but Angel Pagan threw to catcher Brian Schneider for the out at the plate.
The Mets answered with three runs in the third.
Pagan reached on a fielder's choice and scored on Castillo's triple to right. Wright followed with an RBI single and scored later in the inning on Francoeur's sacrifice fly.
Alex Cora singled with one out in the fourth and scored on Pagan's triple. Castillo then laid down a bunt in front of the pitcher's mound and Pagan scored when Ivan Rodriguez couldn't handle Moehler's hurried throw home.
Alberto Arias started the eighth for Houston and Cora beat out an infield single. Pinch hitter Jeremy Reed then tripled to right center and Cora scored, the first run allowed by Arias in his last 23 appearances.
Castillo singled off Arias in the ninth and scored on Wright's double to center. Wright came home on Francoeur's single to center. Francoeur has 14 RBIs since joining the Mets on July 10 in a trade from Atlanta.
NOTES: Hernandez made his 400th career start and Moehler made his 300th career appearance. ... Pagan has an eight-game hitting streak. ... Rodriguez struck out swinging three times against Hernandez. ... The Astros dropped to 10-4 in the last 14 games Moehler has started. ... The Astros lost for the fifth time in their last 17 home games. ... Francoeur has multiple RBIs in four of 12 starts with New York.

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- A faculty group at St. Louis University has cast a no confidence vote against the school's president.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the frustration with the Rev. Lawrence Biondi stems from a controversial and short-lived proposal to drastically revamp the university's tenure system.
The 35-2 no confidence vote was taken Thursday during a meeting of the Faculty Council of the College and Arts and Sciences.
Political science professor Timothy Lomperis says that the university has become "a place of tyranny" under Biondi.
Faculty previously cast no confidence votes against the administrator who backed the tenure plan, but Tuesday marked the first time a no confidence vote ever passed against Biondi.
University officials declined to comment on the vote.

Shiatsu, in general, is a traditional Japanese form of bodywork of which the healing technique is based on restoring balance to the body. "Shi" stands for finger and "atsu" stands for pressure. Illness and disease are thought to result from imbalances in the natural internal flow of energy, or qi (pronounced "chee") through the body. Shiatsu uses finger and palm pressure to restore and improve the continuity of this flow in order to harmonize the body, mind and spirit.
Sennin-So Shiatsu is a unique form of shiatsu founded and developed by my grandfather, Sengo Shimizu, and has been handed down from one generation to the next.
Our bodies were designed to be healthy. To be truly healthy is when one is healthy physically, emotionally and spiritually. Healing never happens solely on the physical level. When we are not physically well (our body), it ultimately affects how we think (our mind) and how we feel (our spirit). With that understanding, doesn't it make sense that how we think or feel could also ultimately affect our physical wellness? To be in balance, all three aspects need to be in harmony.
Healing the body is a simple first step because we know when something is physically wrong with us—we feel it. Blockages in our flow often manifest themselves in the form of pain, stress, fatigue and many other symptoms. My grandfather based his method on the fact that when the flow of the circulatory and lymphatic systems (blood and lymph fluid) is improved, that it will then relax the muscular system and thereby improve the overall continuity of this flow and restore balance and harmony in the body. When you feel better, then you can more easily begin to work on bringing the other aspects of your life into balance.
- A typical treatment session lasts 30 minutes during which a whole body treatment is administered.
- Sennin-so shiatsu method is a therapeutic treatment rather than a relaxation treatment. It is not unusual for even light pressure, when applied to certain blocked areas, may produce a very sharp, intense and painful response. This pain is fleeting and will quickly subside as balance and continuity is restored.

Magazine article American Libraries
Internet Archive Wins NSL Challenge
Article excerpt
"I'm grateful that I am able now to talk about what happened to me, so that other libraries can learn how they can fight back from these over-reaching demands," Internet Archive founder and digital librarian Brewster Kahle stated May 7, two days after records were unsealed documenting his six-month legal battle to force the FBI to withdraw a National Security Letter because it sought details of several patrons' archive use without a court order.
The disclosure about the existence of Internet Archive v. Mukasey came two days after the records were unsealed about Kahle's federal complaint against the Justice Department. As legal counsel representing the digital library, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation named themselves as co-plaintiffs because the gag order that has accompanied NSLs since the 2001 enactment of the Patriot Act also forbids legal counsel from speaking about any aspect of such a case.
The disclosed documents reveal that the FBI issued an NSL to the Internet Archive on November 19, 2007, seeking the patrons' names and contact information and "all electronic mail header information (not to include message content and/or subject fields)." Kahle responded December 14, 2007, with a First Amendment challenge to the constitutionality of serving an NSL on a library. "The FBI cannot demand records from libraries [under the reauthorized. Patriot Act], unless they are providers of wire or electronic communication services. The archive is not a provider," EFF Senior Staff Attorney Kurt B. Opsahl wrote the agency three days later.
The complaint never became a full-fledged lawsuit because Opshal offered the FBI a deal: "If the government is willing to withdraw the NSL, including the nondisclosure order, the archive will voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit. …

HP Color LaserJet CP3525dn Review
The HP Color LaserJet CP3525dn printer is a corporate cog that will print professional flyers, newsletters, postcards, and brochures for business needs. It is a star performer that incorporates sensible qualities and network-ability. Businesses can expect prompt, quality prints from this compact printer. The dimensions of this printer lies at 14.1-inches tall, 32.4-inches wide, 29.1-inches deep, and weighs about 72 pounds. This printer is a veritable addition to any office hutch.
HP continues to improve functionality and printer capabilities when they create newer models. This model is a fast laser printer that can print 30 pages per minute, for both, Color and Black-based documents. It takes only 11 seconds to print the first page of the day. Its processor speed is 515 MHz and the printer utilizes a standard memory of 384 Mega Bytes. The memory is expandable to a maximum of 1024 Mega Bytes. It prints at a resolution of 1200 x 600 dots per inch. HP advises consumers to stay within the range of 1500-5000 pages per month, but the printer has the ability to print 75,000 pages per month.
The robustness of the printer seems to be concurrent with its asking price. It is a workhorse suitable for small to medium-sized businesses and is capable of printing quality-images appropriate for effective presentations. One notable distinction of this printer is that it has its output dock located in front of the printer; a downward diagonal angle from left-to-right. This is especially appropriate when the older models retain its output dock on the top-middle with papers output towards the rear. Users do not have to reach around or stand up to grab the outputted papers. This printer reduces the need to outsource as businesses establish efficient communication in-house.
The printer can be shared amongst computers with the incorporated gigabit Ethernet port. Various protocols like IPv6 and IPSec offer enterprise-class features in security. Third-party solutions and an EIO slot enable flexibility in expanding the printer's functionality when business grows.
As far as the printer's design goes, all components are easily accessible for successful implementation of in-house printing. The EIO slots and network connectivity is located in the rear; it incorporates internal flash memory slots, a lock for security, and peripheral device connections. On the front-top, of the printer, is the conveniently placed 250-sheet output bin. Located on the front-top of the printer is the inherent 4-line LCD with various incorporated support functions. Directly below the output bin is an access door with pre-installed cartridges, for convenient replacement of ColorSphere toners. This printer has the much needed automatic two-sided print function. Directly below the housing for toners is a drawer that holds up to 250 sheets for input. Users can just load a ream of paper in this tray. Below the 250-sheet input, is the 500-sheet input tray that supports a wide-variety of media; the 500-sheet input tray is, unfortunately, optional. This gives the printer a total of 850 sheets capacity. The 100-sheet tray for multipurpose is, strangely, located on the right-side of the printer, directly below the single-door paper path. The single-paper path provides the accessibility for users to rectify paper jams.
Upon review of the printer, some customers have reported that the printer is quite fragile and easy to break down. Although, it could be an isolated event. One customer noted that the printer's biggest flaw is its weight. The wireless networking is optional with a hardware accessory. HP should of included wireless capability, fax, and copy to match the trade-off of the printer's asking price.

As of now it's me and my brother in law celebrating our 30th birthdays. Doing an early mountain bike ride, then some other afternoon activities. Would anyone be interested in joining us? All are welcome. It would be pretty cool to get a few bikers out for the morning! Plus I've only ridden swatara once, but from what I understand, it's pretty easy to navigate!

|23.08.2010 - Role of Central Bank reserves and sovereign wealth funds in managing risks
|The global financial crisis that erupted in August 2007 has shed new light on the role of official investors and the assets they manage. In many countries, governments and government-owned entities were called upon to address crises that emerged due to the mismanagement of risk in the private sector. Yet official investors and public institutions need to manage risks of their own – risks that in many cases are unique to them. Sovereign Risk Management focuses on how official investors should respond to the new challenges they face in managing diverse forms of risk in the aftermath of the crisis. The book includes the insights of a carefully selected roster of experts and practitioners on the management of market, political and regulatory risk...........................................Full Press Release: Source

In many organizations, there are many IT workers who have the right skills to manage a wide range of systems, but whose normal responsibility is narrow. These people should not and normally do not have administrative access to systems outside their normal scope of responsibility.
Using Hitachi ID Privileged Access Manager, this pool of talent can be leveraged when needed -- during periods of high workload or in emergencies -- without having to grant large numbers of users permanent access to systems.
Some examples of this flexibility are common in specific industries:
Privileged Access Manager includes the same authorization workflow engine as is used in Hitachi ID Identity Manager. Workflow enables users to request access to a privileged account that was not previously or permanently authorized. When this happens, one or more additional users are invited (via e-mail or SMS) to review and approve the request. Approved requests trigger a message to the request's recipient, including a URL to Privileged Access Manager where he or she can re-authenticate and "check out" access.
The workflow process is illustrated by the following series of steps:

"I would be remiss in saying I'm not a little more nervous than I was a week ago."
Appaloosa Management founder David Tepper is
hoping the Pittsburgh Steelers win the Super Bowl, but says it
will be close.
"I think it's a pick-em game," said Tepper in an
interview this week with AR about philanthropy.
"I can't see it not being a great game."
"If the center wasn't hurt it would
be a one point game with Green Bay still being favored,"
said the Pittsburgh native and minority owner of the football
team (Las Vegas bookmakers have the Packers winning by
Prodded slightly, Tepper turned cautiously
optimistic. "We've got great defense.
We've got a little problem with the
center having a broken bone in his leg, but [Doug] Legursky,
his backup, is pretty good. So I'm hopeful," Tepper said.
"The Steelers find a way to win. This big quarterback back
there, Ben Roethlisberger? He's
a real tough guy."
When not thinking about the big game, Tepper is
also cautiously optimistic on the markets.
"I would be remiss in saying I'm not a little more
nervous than I was a week ago. I've got to
be careful that this stuff doesn't spread and that
Egypt does settle down," said Tepper.
"I'm surprised how fast the market bounced
[Monday]--shows you there's a lot of money looking
for any dip on the sidelines. Which is good, but I have to be a
little more cautious than last week because I didn't know how much
this stuff could flair up," he said. "I'm still
generally constructive but just a tiny bit more cautious than I
was before because of this stuff."

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith, who was named Super Bowl MVP after a pick-six and a fumble recovery, certainly took his free trip to Disney World. But the free truck he also won? He's giving it to his mom.
"She says she wants to put black rims on it," Smith told TMZ Sports in a video published Monday. "She said it's gotta look smooth, whatever it is. She wants to go gunmetal with the black rims."
Apparently Chevrolet is handling all the specifics before delivering the new Silverado truck to Mama Smith.

Eclipse: Key Trials
By Ben Linfoot and Matt Brocklebank
Last Updated: 03/07/14 9:37am
Ben Linfoot and Matt Brocklebank go through the videos of the key trials for Saturday's Coral-Eclipse at Sandown.
ebm-papst Feilden Stakes (Listed)
1m1f, Newmarket, April 16 2014
1. True Story 5/2
5. Somewhat 15/2
As a juvenile True Story won his maiden on his second and final start at two, beating Expert by three and three quarter lengths in the manner of a good horse. As a consequence his first start this season was eagerly anticipated and he didn't disappoint in the Feilden, beating Obliterator by seven lengths with another six back to the rest. The son of Manduro was keen in the early stages but tanked through the contest, pulling clear with Obliterator as they negotiated The Dip and then drawing away from that rival, who was eased down heavily, late on. Such was the impression he made he was cut to 14/1 from 20s for the Derby in the immediate aftermath by Sky Bet and he was backed down to shorter prices in the days that followed. Subsequently he was beaten in the Dante Stakes at York by French Derby winner The Grey Gatsby and Investec Derby fourth Arod, while he was a 10-length seventh at Epsom himself. Those disappointments see him chalked up at double-figure prices for Saturday's Eclipse, but perhaps it's too soon to be dismissing his chances. The Feilden was just his third career start, his fourth and fifth coming in the Dante and the Derby, and this lightly-raced Godolphin colt could have more to give yet, especially over a stiff mile and a quarter which looks likely to play to his strengths. Somewhat was 14 lengths behind True Story at Newmarket and has since been beaten in the Dee Stakes at Chester and the Tercentenary Stakes at Royal Ascot. His odds of 100/1 refelct his chance in the Eclipse and he's set to be employed as a pacemaker for True Story. (BL)
Qatar Bloodstock Jockey Club Stakes (Group 2)
1m4f, Newmarket, May 3 2014
3. Trading Leather 4/6 fav
Jim Bolger's Trading Leather won the Irish Derby as a three-year-old before a consistent yet winless end to his campaign that saw him post placed efforts in the King George, the Juddmonte International and the Irish Champion Stakes. He beat Al Kazeem at York and finished just behind the same horse at Leopardstown, where he was also beaten just over three lengths by Saturday's favourite, The Fugue. Already he looks a big price at 25/1, so a revisit to the video replay of his only start this season in the Jockey Club Stakes is an absolute must. Sent off as 4/6 favourite to land the Group 2 contest, the son of Teofilo blew his chance by racing much too keenly throughout under Kevin Manning. Considering his exploits in the first half of the race it wasn't a bad performance to finish third behind Gospel Choir and Pether's Moon, horses that have boosted the form subsequently - Gospel Choir went on to win the Sky Bet Yorkshire Cup, while Pether's Moon has run well twice in defeat at Ascot. On this season's limited evidence the drop in trip to 10 furlongs looks a smart move and looking through his record it's a trip that he's always run well over. From four attempts he's finished second in a Dante, won a Listed race at the Curragh, finished second in a Juddmonte International and third in an Irish Champion Stakes. If he makes the trip over, not guaranteed with Godolphin already having True Story as a likely runner, he's a very interesting outsider. (BL)
1m, Newmarket, May 3 2014
1. Night Of Thunder 40/1
8. Kingston Hill 10/1
9. War Command 8/1
Richard Hannon's Night Of Thunder went into the 2000 Guineas a largely unconsidered 40/1 chance on the back of a four and a half-length thrashing by Kingman in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury, but not only did he manage to reverse the form with John Gosden's charge, he also beat subsequent dual Derby hero Australia. How he actually managed to do it was down to a combination of factors, not least his raw talent and the electric turn of foot he produced to collar the runner-up, who probably got to the front in the far side group earlier than he would have liked. Night Of Thunder veered badly left under pressure in the closing stages but it didn't stop him moving forward. As you would expect, this form is about as strong as it gets in the three-year-old division, producing five subsequent victories, but the one glaring omission is that Night Of Thunder is not among them. Kingman made it 2-1 with a totally dominant victory in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot and it's no surprise to see Richard Hannon now testing the water with his runner over 10 furlongs. Night Of Thunder is out of a Galileo mare and Richard Hughes is adamant he will stay the extra yardage – if he does he'll be a force to be reckoned with. Neither Kingston Hill nor War Command ever really looked like landing a blow in the 2000 Guineas. The former, unbeaten at two and an impressive winner of the Group One Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster, was held up towards the rear and looked short of pace before edging left slightly under pressure. He kept on well to his credit and clearly showed the benefit of the outing when finishing second to Australia in the Investec Derby. A drop back in trip at Sandown seems unlikely to play to his strengths, while connections feel he is a much better horse with plenty of cut in the ground. Ryan Moore reported the Aidan O'Brien-trained Coventry Stakes hero War Command raced lazily and didn't pick up when asked to go about his business. He was due to have his next start in the Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh but missed that engagement on account of the soft ground, before heading to Ascot for the St James's Palace. Joseph O'Brien held him up in rear as Night Of Thunder dictated the pace, but he could only run on at the one pace and finish fourth, three and three-quarter lengths behind Kingman. He could yet have a lot more to offer as a three-year-old and the move up in distance promises to eke out some improvement. (MB)
1m4f, Epsom, June 7 2014
2. Kingston Hill 15/2
7. True Story 8/1
Kingston Hill went into the Derby as the only previous Group One scorer in the field and acquitted himself with great credit in second. In truth, Australia completely bossed the race from just over a furlong out but Roger Varian's star stuck to his task admirably and pulled over three lengths clear of the third, Romsdal Hill. The manner in which he stayed on left the impression a mile and a half will now be the minimum distance he'll be asked to tackle and his presence in the Eclipse final field must be in significant doubt, even if the heavens do open. Not much went right for seventh home True Story and it could be the case that the Epsom experience, and all that comes with racing there on Derby day, got the better of him. Godolphin's colt became warm and agitated in the preliminaries last season and it was evident again before he stormed to victory in the Feilden Stakes. He was sweating ahead of the Derby and was awkwardly away from the stalls before being bustled along to gain a reasonable position. He was close enough if good enough on turning into the straight but didn't handle the camber particularly well and was ultimately left for dead by the principals. Having looked so good at Newmarket's Craven meeting, it's obviously too soon to be writing him off but it will take a leap of faith to think he can not only bounce back to form but also prove up to beating classy older horses such at The Fugue and Verrazano. (MB)
1m, Royal Ascot, June 17 2014
2. Verrazano
4. Tullius
Verrazano and Tullius are the key form horses when assessing the merits of the older milers, as they've run in both Group 1 races over that distance in the UK this year. In the Lockinge Stakes, won by Olympic Glory at Newbury in May, Tullius finished two and a half lengths off the winner in second, with Verrazano a further two and a quarter lengths behind Andrew Balding's charge in fourth. However, Aidan O'Brien was adamant that Verrazano would come on for the run and it was no surprise to see that form reversed in the Queen Anne Stakes. The important outcome was the same - Richard Hannon won the races again, this time with Toronado - but Verrazano was on this occasion two and a quarter lengths better than Tullius, a swing of four and a half lengths in the Ballydoyle horse's favour. Watching the replay of the Queen Anne, it's hard to see Tullius turning the tables over Verrazano over another two furlongs. Verrazano, who sweated heavily at Royal Ascot, was ridden with restraint but slightly more positively than Tullius, who couldn't get any closer to the O'Brien-trained colt than when both made their move inside the final quarter mile. Both have won over nine furlongs before, but neither has proven themselves over ten. Verrazano, though, looks to be building towards a peak under the guidance of O'Brien and if he handles the preliminaries well he looks like being a major threat to all come Saturday afternoon. Tullius looks likely to play a supporting role, although he would have to come into calculations if there was plenty of rain as all of his winning form at a higher level has come on ground with cut in it. (BL)
1m (Round), Ascot, June 17 2014
2. Night Of Thunder 3/1
4. War Command 9/1
Night Of Thunder won his two starts as a juvenile, both at six furlongs and both on soft ground. His Greenham second represented an encouraging return to action and he took a remarkable step up on the bare form when reversing Newbury placings with Kingman to claim Newmarket glory (see QIPCO 2000 Guineas analysis). The St James's Palace saw Kingman reassert his superiority over Richard Hannon's representative after Richard Hughes led at a slow pace and tried to kick clear two furlongs from the finish. He comfortably fought off Yuften, Toormore and Outstrip, but couldn't live with the blistering pace of Kingman and in hindsight Hughes may regret not forcing the issue at a higher tempo. There's enough in Night Of Thunder's pedigree to suggest he'll have the stamina to prove equally as effective over a mile and a quarter and he should do the Classic generation proud this weekend in receipt of 11lb from the older males, and 8lb from The Fugue. War Command finished with a rattle from off the pace to claim fourth and wasn't suited by the way the race was run. Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time having raced "lazily" according to 2000 Guineas pilot Ryan Moore, he travelled with a bit more zest but didn't shape like he was on the verge of opening his 2014 account. The way in which he finished will provide encouragement ahead of his first attempt at 10 furlongs but the jury is still out as to whether last year's Coventry Stakes winner has truly trained on. (BL)
Prince of Wales's Stakes (Group 1)
1m2f, Royal Ascot, June 18 2014
1. The Fugue 11/2
4. Mukhadram 6/1
7. Zambucca 100/1
The Fugue is a wonderful filly on fast ground and she showed her best side when travelling beautifully before extending clear of Magician, Treve and Mukhadram in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot. This is the best 10-furlong form in the race and she has more in her locker - that Irish Champion Stakes win last September and her Nassau Stakes win as a three-year-old. Over a mile and a -half she has that unlucky Breeder's Cup second, another second-place finish in the Hong Kong Vase and that brilliant Yorkshire Oaks win from last August too. The one blot on her copybook is her last-place effort here at Sandown in last year's Eclipse, but she wasn't right that day and John Gosden said she was subsequently sick for almost two weeks after that contest. Judging by her effort at Royal Ascot all her problems are behind her, and she is undoubtredly the one to beat on this form, even accounting for Treve's physical excuses and the fact that Magician is better over further. Mukhadram isn't a million miles behind her. He was four and a quarter lengths off her here, finished third in last year's Eclipse and was a neck second to Al Kazeem in last year's Prince of Wales's. A return to front-running tactics wouldn't surprise given he seems to be at his best when leading from the outset, but he could be hassled for the lead by pacemaker Somewhat. Still, at prices around 14/1 he represents good each-way value. As Matt mentions, Kingston Hill is an unlikely runner, while Night Of Thunder, Verrazano and War Command all have to prove themselves at the trip. We know Mukhadram is a Group 1 horse over 10 furlongs, and on this Ascot form he's not far off his best. Zambucca was placed in a Group 2 at Meydan in February, where he won over £100,000 for coming third. However, on his two runs in Britain this summer he looks set to be hopelessly outclassed in this line-up. (BL)
1m4f, Royal Ascot, June 21 2014
2. Hillstar 7/1
This video is worth watching again just to see the brilliant Telescope skip clear by seven lengths to tee himself up for a crack at the King George later in the month. Stablemate Hillstar ran on well for second after being a tad keen when held up in the early stages, but he's always fallen short over ten furlongs, even in much lesser company, and with doubts about him on fast ground too he seems to be an unlikely runner this weekend. If he does take his chance, he could run on well enough to be placed. But it's very hard to envisage him being quick enough, or good enough, to win what looks like being, at this stage, a very good renewal of the Coral-Eclipse. (BL)

Where: Bamberg, Germany
Type: Rauchbier (Smokebeer)
Available: Year-round
Website: schlenkerla.de
Justin Philips Says: "A little shocking at first, this is a classic rauchbier (smokebeer) that's incredibly aromatic due to the unusual technique Schlenkerla uses for making their malts: They're smoked over a beechwood fire. It's reminiscent of meat—bacon in particular—but once you get into it, it's very refreshing."

|A multicenter randomized masked comparison trial of synthetic surfactant versus calf lung surfactant extract in the prevention of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9200358 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety of a synthetic surfactant (Exosurf Neonatal, Burroughs Wellcome Co) and a surfactant extract of calf lung lavage (Infasurf, IND #27,169, ONY, Inc) in the prevention of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).
DESIGN AND SETTING: Ten-center randomized masked comparison trial.
PATIENTS: Premature infants (n = 871) <29 weeks gestational age by best obstetric estimate.
INTERVENTIONS: Infants were randomly assigned to a course of treatment with Exosurf Neonatal (n = 438) or Infasurf (n = 433) at birth, and if still intubated, at 12 and 24 hours of age. Crossover treatment was allowed within 72 hours of age if severe respiratory failure (defined as two consecutive a/A PO2 ratios </=.10) persisted after three doses of the randomized surfactant.
PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Three primary outcome measures of efficacy [the incidence of RDS; the incidence of RDS death; and the incidence of survival without bronchopulmonary dysplasia at 28 days after birth] were compared using linear regression techniques.
RESULTS: Of 871 randomized infants, 18 infants did not receive treatment with a study surfactant, and 25 infants did not meet all eligibility criteria. The primary analysis of efficacy was performed in the 846 eligible infants and analysis of safety outcomes in the 853 infants who received study surfactant. Demographic characteristics did not differ between the two treatment groups. Compared with Exosurf, Infasurf treatment resulted in a 62% decrease in the incidence of RDS (Infasurf, 16% vs Exosurf, 42%) and a 70% decrease in RDS death (Infasurf, 1.7% vs Exosurf, 5.4%) but did not increase the incidence of survival without bronchopulmonary dysplasia at 28 days. Treatment with Infasurf resulted in significant improvement in several secondary outcome measures. Infasurf-treated infants had lower average FIO2 (Infasurf, .33 [SEM] vs Exosurf, .42; difference .08; 95% confidence interval [CI], .06 to .11) and average mean airway pressure (Infasurf, 6.0 cm H2O vs Exosurf, 7.1 cm H2O; difference 1.1 cm H2O; 95% CI, .7 to 1.6 cm H2O) for the first 72 hours of life. Crossover surfactant treatment was significantly less frequent in the Infasurf compared with the Exosurf group (Infasurf, 1% vs Exosurf, 6%). Complications (bradycardia, clinical airway obstruction, and transcutaneous arterial desaturation) associated with second and third, but not initial, surfactant treatments were observed more frequently in the Infasurf treatment group. Infasurf-treated infants had significantly less air leak (</=7 days) (Infasurf, 8% vs Exosurf, 14%; adjusted relative risk [ARR] .55; 95% CI, .37 to .81). Severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) (grade 3 and 4) did not differ between the two groups (Infasurf, 11.8% vs Exosurf, 8.3%; ARR 1.41; 95% CI, .94 to 2.09) but total IVH occurred more frequently in Infasurf-treated infants (Infasurf, 39.0% vs Exosurf, 29.9%; ARR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.57).
CONCLUSION: Significant reductions in the incidence of RDS, the severity of early respiratory disease, the incidence of pulmonary air leaks associated with RDS, and the mortality attributable to RDS suggest that Infasurf is a more effective surfactant preparation than Exosurf Neonatal in the prophylaxis of RDS. However, Infasurf prophylaxis as used in this study was also associated with a greater risk of total but not severe IVH.

Doctor Trusted Allergy Tracker
Track your symptoms to try & find the trigger
3 Reasons To Keep An Allergy Diary
The best way to figure out what will work the best for you and your family is to keep a health journal that chronicles food intake and illness. There are many advantages to keeping a health journal, including:
1 It Will Help You Notice Patterns:
If you (and your kids!) occasionally get allergy symptoms, bowel disturbances, skin rashes, have trouble sleeping or other health troubles, keeping a journal will help you notice factors that could trigger your symptoms.
You might notice that you don't sleep well or are led off track after eating certain foods and feel better after eating others. You'll be much more likely to figure out what they are if you are tracking your food intake. If you know this ahead of time, you can work to prevent it by avoiding the circumstances that cause it.
2 Helps You Stay On Track:
Keeping a health diary provides a layer of accountability and a reason to stay on track. If you really want to stay accountable, discuss your journal with friends so you are also accountable to others and you'll get encouragement and support along the way.
3 Better Doctor Visits:
From a medical standpoint, having a detailed health diary is very helpful in cases of illness or allergy to pinpoint cause. Symptoms can change over time and it is easy to forget details when speaking with your doctor. A health diary gives you an easy way to go back and reference when you have a reaction to get better support and referrals. This also helps doctors see objectively over time how changes have affected your health and how your health has improved.

Magic numbers
To calculate a team's magic number, take the number of games it has remaining and add one. Then subtract the difference in the number of losses between that team and its closest pursuer.
Tiebreaker scenarios
A tiebreaker game will be played to determine a division winner, even if the tied clubs are assured of participating in the postseason. If a division championship tiebreaker is necessary, the head-to-head record between the clubs will determine home-field advantage. If the head-to-head record is tied, then the division record will be the next tiebreaker.
If two clubs are tied for the two Wild Card berths, home-field advantage will be determined by the head-to-head record between the clubs. If the head-to-head record is tied, then the division record will be the next tiebreaker.

I'm certainly not a basketball expert and have had concerns in the past about the offense Beilein runs, but one thing I've been excited to see quite a bit of this year is the pick and roll with Morris and Morgan. They have worked that together real well when I've seen it. Too often I've seen players doing everything possible to be falling away from the basket and/or shooting threes instead of driving since Beilein took over. Something I would like to see, and I saw once in the game against Utah, was the pick and roll with Hardaway Jr. and Morgan.
One thing I'm wondering, though, is if this lack of driving to the basket was a result of the players Beilein has had since he got here (other than so far this year) or if the system eliminates good drivers opportunity to drive when the situation arises? With Burke and Brundidge coming next year, I'm hoping to see more drives to the hole in the next few seasons.

Thanks to the mother of five-star running back recruit Alex Collins, we may already have a winner for the craziest story of national signing day. Collins, who played his high school ball in Florida, verbally committed to Arkansas back in February. When he went to fax his letter of intent on Wednesday morning, it was nowhere to be found. That's because his mother reportedly took his papers and ran away with them. Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema spoke with ESPNU on Wednesday (via Dr. Saturday) and it was odd that he didn't mention Collins, only saying that he had not received his letter of intent. The news was bizarre considering Collins is one of Arkansas' top recruits for 2013, and ESPNU's Corey Long later revealed that Collins' mother had stolen his papers because she is so upset that he will not be attending school closer to home. "His mother has confiscated the papers, she took them and she ran," Long said. "They're looking for her currently. From what I understand Alex is not at the school right now, he's looking for his mom. She was quite torn up about him leaving so far from home." HawgSports.com, a Rivals.com affiliate, originally reported that Collins had delayed sending his letter to the Razorbacks because his family wanted him to give the decision more thought. If the story is true, Collins' mother certainly wouldn't be the first parent to experience separation anxiety over their child traveling to another state to attend school for four years. However, she is most likely the first one to straight up steal her son's letter of intent. And here we thought Reuben Foster dressing up like Nick Saban was a hoot.

In a season that marks the 100th year of Auburn basketball, coach Jeff Lebo hopes to eliminate the gulf between old-timers and recent alumni. "There's been a lot of coaching change (at Auburn)," Lebo said. "I was lucky to be at North Carolina where coach (Dean) Smith had been there for such a long period of time and really kept the group together. We're trying to do our part to get them all back and become involved in the program. I think it's gone very well." (Mobile Press-Register)

Apple fanboys admit hating iOS6
by Nick Farrell on27 September 2012
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Reality distortion shield cries out in pain
It is starting to look like Apple's famous reality distortion shield is starting to implode as fanboys who upgraded are starting to actually complain.
While everyone knows that you have to be clinically brain dead to think that Apple Maps is any good, but other aspects of the operating system are also getting muttered over. A new survey shows that iPhone owners satisfaction with the iOS 6 overall seems to be decreasing compared with iOS 5.
Customer research firm On Device conducted a poll of nearly 16,000 iPhone owners in the US and found that owner satisfaction had slightly dropped compared with previous surveys done on iOS 4 and 5. The drop is small but it is the first time that On Device has seen any sort of decrease in customer satisfaction. In fact for any Apple fanboy to admit that they are dissatisfied is a religious crisis of Dark Night of the Soul proportions.
On Device CEO Alistair Hill said that every time Apple fanboys upgrade they are religiously bound to tell everyone that the upgrade is better than sex. This is a lie of course because Apple fanboys are more celibate than the Roman Catholic clergy.
Although there has been a slight dip in satisfaction with iOS 6, it would be surprising if it had much of an impact on Apple which dealt with a faulty iPhone 4 by blaming users for holding their phones to their ears.

How much does it cost?
Contrary to many pieces of equipment in the performance industry, a performer rigging system cannot be chosen based on price. Rather, it must be chosen based on the needs of the effect. The price for the system will typically be based on the type and number of systems needed to fly the effects, how long the show runs, how far the equipment has to ship and how long it will take to install and choreograph the show.
Our quotes are all inclusive. With Hall Associates Flying Effects, you will always know exactly what your total cost will be up front. There will be no additions, hidden charges, extra airfare or shipping overages unless you make a change from the original quote. This service is unparalleled in the performer flying industry.
How far in advance should we hire a flying effects company?For a traditional production, you should make initial contact with the flying company at least ten weeks in advance of your installation dates or twelve weeks in advance of your opening date. Plan to have an agreement in place at least five weeks before you expect to see equipment arrive at your door. If your production is in the six week period leading up to Easter or Christmas (the busiest times for flying effects) or if you are mounting a production that may require a special flying system, it is best to add a few weeks to that.
Our theatre does not have a lot of height. Can we still fly performers?Yes. We fly many productions in theatres (and other spaces) that have low ceilings. Our flying systems are specifically designed to operate in low height environments. As long as there is a secure structure to which we can attach our systems, you can fly!
We have an outdoor theatre; can we fly performers?Of course. We can rig both rigid-track and cable-track systems in outdoor theatres. Some outdoor situations may require special considerations, so please contact us at least sixteen weeks in advance of your opening date so that we can meet your needs.
What information do you need to give us a quote?Please complete our quote request form and submit it online. We will contact you within a few days of receiving your information to discuss your production. Once we have enough accurate information, we can usually return an estimate in twenty four hours.
Are you certified or licensed to fly performers?There is no certification or license for creating, installing or operating performer rigging systems, and there are no industry standards for the equipment used to fly performers. However, the Entertainment Technician Certification Program (ETCP) has a certification program for riggers in the disciplines of arena rigging and theatrical rigging. Hall Associates Flying Effects is the only flying effects provider in the world to be owned and operated by a professional rigger who holds valid certifications in both areas, was one of only 45 people to pass both certification examinations the first time they were ever given and is also one of only a handful of recognized ETCP trainers on the planet. Hall Associates Flying Effects is also a recognized employer of ETCP certified technicians. Many of our flying directors are certified riggers, which means that they have successfully demonstrated a thorough knowledge of advanced rigging skills in one or more disciplines. All of our flying directors are accomplished stage riggers and undergo extensive training on the special requirements of performer flying. Our flying systems are designed to adhere to a rigid set of standards and practices, which are available for your review.
How heavy can the performers be?We have flown performers who weigh over 300 pounds and performer/scenery combinations that have weighed 3000 pounds. However, the weight and size of the performers can influence the type flying system used and the flying choreography. The typical weight of performers who fly in stage productions is 150 lbs or less.
Can you fly small children?Absolutely. We have flown children as young as three years olds and as light as 30lbs.
Are the harnesses uncomfortable?Our wide variety of flying harnesses are designed by our flying engineers and manufactured by Amspec, Inc. Amspec is one of the world's leading harness manufacturers, supplying harnesses for the movie, theatre, theme park and television industries since the 1980s. Thousands of harnesses have passed through the doors of Amspec and have safely flown celebrities, stunt professionals and theatre artists for decades. Other companies make their own harnesses, but at Hall Associates, we choose to leave the sewing to the professionals. Amspec supplies us with harnesses that are designed by our flying team to be the most comfortable harnesses in the industry. Wide straps at the pressure points and adjustment locations are carefully placed to avoid discomfort and are but a few of the thoughtful features designed into our harnesses.
How high will the performers fly?While we have flown performers as high as 100 feet above the stage, most performers never fly higher than 10-12 feet. If flying too high is a concern, we can rig our systems to limit the height to which performers can be flown. If you would like to exercise this option, please inform your flying director so that your system can be designed to meet that need.
What if a performer is afraid of heights?Our flying directors are patient with artists who are afraid of heights. We work with each performer individually during flying rehearsals and explain everything in detail to the performers so that they understand how safe flying is. We also work to foster a bond between each performer and his/her flying operator(s). This bond builds confidence and helps the performer relax.
Who provides the operators for the production?Most theatre groups provide their own operators and we train them to run the systems. If you are interested in hiring operators, let us know and we'd be happy to get you more information.
Do all the operators need to be adults?Not necessarily. It is extremely important that all flying operators follow directions precisely and are able to attend every rehearsal and performance. The flying operators are the most important safety factor in the system, so operators must be extremely responsible individuals. Operators must also be in good physical condition – able to lift at least 25 lbs. above their head. Each lift operator should weight at least 50 lbs. more than the performer he lifts and be able to do at least one chin-up. If there is the slightest chance that one or more of your operators may miss a performance, it is vital that their alternate attend all flying rehearsals, including tech and dress rehearsals.
Do the flying operators need gloves?Yes. We strongly recommend that all operators wear gloves, and different types of gloves are needed for different types of flights. Be sure to speak with your flying director about gloves before the first rehearsal so that your operators will be prepared, or visit our section on gloves in the "standards and practices" section of this website.
Are you insured?Yes. We carry top quality liability insurance and will provide a copy of our certificate of insurance to any client, upon request.
Do we need insurance?This is entirely up to you. However, we can add the name of your theatre group to our policy for a small fee.
Can you help us with our set requirements?Yes. We have written information on the scenic requirements for Peter Pan, and we are happy to review your set drawings for any and all productions and offer suggests when needed.
How do you handle rehearsals?Typically, the first flying rehearsal is with the performers, operators, director and stage manager only. At this rehearsal our goal is to introduce everyone to the systems, get the performers comfortable with flying and start some basic choreography. Others are welcome to watch rehearsals, but (for the safety of the performer) no talking is permitted. Subsequent rehearsals allow us to choreograph entire flying sequences, add music and integrate the rest of the cast. The number of flying rehearsals will depend on the number of performers who fly and the complexity of the choreography. Flying rehearsals typically last 2.5 hours and should go no longer than 3 hours.
How long before our production opens do we get the flying equipment?The load-in dates are chosen fit the schedule and availability of your venue and our equipment. These dates and times are usually set about four weeks ahead of your tech period and, in most cases, load-in is scheduled 7-10 days before your opening.
Can you see the wires?Yes. Most flying companies use "aircraft cable," at either 5/32″, 1/8″, 3/32″ or 5/64″ thickness, depending on the type of system and expected loads. These cables are very thin and in many cases can have a very low profile. Extremely thin wires are possible (such as those used by popular magicians), but can be very expensive due to the work involved in the system assembly. The two main factors regarding visibility of flying wires are background and lighting. If the scenic designer and lighting designer work closely with the flying director, the wires will be far less visible. For example, if you fly a performer in front of a white cyc with heavy side lighting, the wires will be highly visible, however, a darker background with a vertical orientation (such as curtains or wallpaper) and 45 degree front lighting will go a long way toward hiding the wires. Hall Associates Flying Effects does have a lighting consultant on staff to answer your questions.
Where do we put the operators?For manual flying systems, the operators will typically need to be directly stage left or stage right of the flying effect, although special circumstances can allow the operators to be placed at an angle to the effect. Also, the operators are typically on the same level as the artist's landing area, but again, special circumstances can lead to irregular placement of operators. Be sure to alert your flying director if your operators might be in an unusual location.
Do the operators have to see the artists?
Yes – at all times! The operators will need to have a direct line of sight to their artists at all times. There can be no significant obstructions between the eyes of the operators and the performers who are flying while they are flying or standing on the stage. This can be handled in many creative ways, but here are three of the most common solutions:
- Leave a gap. Adapt your scenic design to allow a gap in the scenery that allows the operators a clear view of the stage while cutting the sightlines of the audience into the wings.
- Make the walls out of scrim. Once installed, the scrim can be painted to match the interior of the room. As long as it is lit properly, the wall will appear opaque from the audience and reasonably transparent from the wings.
- Another way is to "suggest" the scenic wall using furniture, railings or some other element that people associate with a barrier, but not actually build a wall at all.

TAMPA — A federal judge will allow a Spanish interpreter at the sentencing Monday of former Hillsborough County Commissioner Kevin White on corruption charges.
But it won't be on the taxpayers' dime.
White's attorney, Grady Irvin Jr., had earlier this week requested a Spanish translator at White's sentencing because White's in-laws do not speak English. As a back-up plan, the attorney had offered the services of White's sister-in-law if a court translator could not be provided.
U.S. District Court Judge James D. Whittemore approved the use of the sister-in-law, but did not say why he would not allow a court-appointed translator.
So far, Whittemore is silent on a second request by Irvin that White's sentencing hearing be lengthened by 90 minutes. In a motion, Irvin said the 30 minutes now scheduled may not be sufficient to allow everyone to speak on White's behalf.
Irvin said up to 15 people may want to do so.

The Swiss central bank believes that Credit Suisse may have insufficient capital to absorb losses in case the debt situation in Europe changes for the worse. The SNB named the second largest Swiss bank over its bigger competitor UBS as needing additional capital to cushion for losses.
Investors dumped shares of the bank immediately after the report leading to a 10% decline in share price over trading last Thursday. As the fact that the market had over-reacted to the news sunk in, the shares gained a little over 5% on Friday after central banks that they will act together to fight the crisis in Europe also contributing to the jump.
In its annual financial stability report, the Swiss National Bank mentioned that Credit Suisse's current capital structure is inadequate to keep it from failing under a "very severe but possible scenario" it reviewed. [1] Consequently, it suggested that the bank focus on raising considerably more capital, and that too within the year. The SNB also outlined options the bank could pursue, including a cut down on dividend payouts, issuing additional shares and selling more risky investment banking assets.
While the conclusion that Credit Suisse is not sufficiently capitalized is bad enough to spook investors, the options provided by the SNB do not help Credit Swiss's stock value either – consequently triggering the sell-off witnessed on Thursday. We have pointed out the negative impact of raising capital quickly by selling off assets on Credit Suisse's value on quite a few occasions in the past (see Credit Suisse Barely Out of Red in Q1, Continues Capital Build-Up & Credit Suisse Continues Scramble to Shore Up Capital). And the SNB's recommendations for the bank to raise as much as $4-5 billion by the end of this year demands exactly that.
Over the weekend Credit Suisse CEO Brady Dougan acknowledged the SNE's recommendations and announced that the bank will definitely not issue more shares in coming quarters. [2] Instead, the bank will retain its earnings for this year at least – cutting down on dividend payouts. Accelerated asset sales for the rest of the year from the bank also cannot be ruled out.
We maintain a price estimate of $27 for Credit Suisse's stock, which we are currently reviewing in view of the SNB's demand from the bank to raise additional capital.

1. They lost their 11th consecutive game, 27-20 Thursday night to Jacksonville. Only two Houston professional football teams to lose 11 consecutive were Oilers in 1972 and '94.
2. A team considered on the verge of being a power in the AFC South for years to come will finish last in the division, losing twice within the last three weeks to hapless Jacksonville. It was the Jaguars' first home win of season after winning three of last four on the road, including at Reliant Stadium.
3. The Texans have little hope going forward with no quarterback they can trust, having benched Case Keenum for the second time in his seven starts to retread Matt Schaub. Schaub is done. Keenum is done.
4. The Texans have the inside track for the No.1 draft choice, but there doesn't appear to be a guaranteed star quarterback available. Teddy Bridgewater might be. He might not be. He certainly doesn't appear as ready to make an impact on the NFL as a rookie as Andrew Luck did.
5. The Texans have little hope going forward with a coach they can trust. Gary KubiaK might get a reprieve, maybe everyone has a bad year here and there, but his management of the quarterback situation, an area in which he is supposed to be an expert, and his game management Thursday night were highly suspect. He should have taken the field goal with more than two minutes and two timeouts remaining in the fourth quarter against the Jaguars. Then the Texans wouldn't have had to drive for a touchdown to win. On the other hand, Schaub might have thrown an interception anyway. That's what he does.
6. Do the Texans have an owner? His silence leads to impression they are a rudderless ship.
7. The 2-11 Texans have only one home game remaining, against Peyton Manning. This really could be a 2-14 eam. Not sure I've ever seen anything like this in the NFL, a Super Bowl contender reduced to such rubble.
