LOS ANGELES -- Hours before Frederick W. Smith, founder, chairman and CEO of FedEx, was presented with the 2010 John Wooden Global Leadership Award by UCLA Anderson, he joined Dean Judy Olian for a conversation in Korn Hall as part of the Dean's Distinguished Speaker Series.
Dean Judy Olian opened with a declaration -- "Fred Smith epitomizes the leadership that Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success teaches." She noted that the company is one of the most admired and trusted companies in the world and one consistently rated as one of the best corporations to work for. Further, she stated that the company's dedication to people and service is right in line with Coach Wooden's philosophies.
With numerous Anderson students in attendance, Dean Judy Olian asked Smith for advice on how today's MBA students can attract capital investors for new business ideas, a fitting question for a man who raised $80 million to launch what was originally known as Federal Express Corporation. "We raised $80 million in capital because we had a compelling business idea with three independent studies that supported our model. If you have a compelling business idea that can be mathematically verified, you can get the money you need to start a business," Smith responded, adding that it was the then-burgeoning venture capital industry that made financing FedEx possible.
In fact, Smith suggested that the United States' diverse system of higher education (which he contrasted to more homogenized systems of higher education in Europe and other developing nations) and still-thriving venture capital industry that sets this country apart while fostering an environment for entrepreneurship. "There's plenty of money out there," Smith emphasized.
The session coincided with FedEx' Southern California introduction of electric delivery trucks. The first of what will eventually be four such trucks arrived in Los Angeles the day before; the quartet to serve as a test of the feasibility of using electric trucks for package delivery in a major city.
Smith said that the environmental advantages of "green vehicles" was an "added benefit" - but not the primary motive for the eventual transition. The reduction of energy costs and the associated reduction on foreign fuel sources are paramount as reasons.
Smith also offered the assembled students some words of wisdom, rooted in his long experience as a top CEO.
"You must learn from your setbacks," Smith said. "And understand that (failure) is part of the human condition. Make sure you do what you like and do what you're good at, if you don't, you won't be happy.
"Failure can bring some of the best lessons in life."

VANCEBORO � Josh Cuthbertson and Jamie Cherry spend countless hours in the gym � perfecting their jump shots and improving their all-around game.
VANCEBORO � Josh Cuthbertson and Jamie Cherry spend countless hours in the gym � perfecting their jump shots and improving their all-around game.
West Craven�s stars led their team to conference championships and a trip to the 3-A Eastern Regionals.
Their extensive work was rewarded.
Cuthbertson, a senior, was voted to the Associated Press All-State Boys� Basketball Team. Cherry, a junior, earned a spot on the Associated Press All-State Girls� Basketball Team.
Both are repeat honorees. It�s the third year in a row that Cherry was picked for the all-state squad.
The all-state teams were voted on by sports editors and reporters from across the state.
�It�s a great honor to be put in the same category as some of the best players in the state,� Cherry said. �To be able to do it my third time, it is a great feeling.�
Cuthbertson, who will play his college ball at USC-Upstate next fall, averaged more than 28 points and 12 rebounds per game.
He finished his high school career with 2,159 career points, ranking him 20th all-time in the state of North Carolina.
�It�s a great accomplishment and a great way to finish,� Cuthbertson said. �I had more weight on my shoulders this year because we didn�t have Aaron (Tate) and Jeff (Adams) and all those role players we had last year.
�This year, everybody stepped up, but my role had to be a little bit bigger. I think all-state fits right in with that.�
The Eagles won 25 games and claimed the Coastal Conference regular-season and tournament championships. They won three home playoff games before losing to Rocky Mount in the regional semifinals in Fayetteville.
Cuthbertson said he couldn�t have won the award without his teammates. He also dished out more than five assists per game.
�Without them, I couldn�t have done it,� he said. �They helped me step my game up another level because they had confidence in me every time we stepped on the floor.
�They knew, when it was time to make a big shot or big play, they came to me. With them having confidence in me, that gave me confidence to make the big plays.�
Cherry, a University of North Carolina commit, guided West Craven�s girls� team to the state semifinals before falling to Chapel Hill in Fayetteville.
The Eagles finished 26-6 and won the Coastal Conference regular-season and tournament championships.
Cherry averaged 25.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.1 steals and 2.4 assists per game. She was named the Coastal Conference Player of the Year and District II Player of the Year.
�It was a great and very fun junior year,� Cherry said. �We accomplished everything that we said we were going to accomplish. We had high expectations and we all worked for it, so I couldn�t be happier with this season.�
Cherry scored at least 30 points in seven games, including the Eagles� 64-48 win over Eastern Wayne in the regional semifinals March. 7.
Cherry poured in at least 20 points in 29 of 32 games.
�My team has allowed me to get these awards,� Cherry said. �I�m thankful for my team and my coach to even give me the opportunity to get these awards and be mentioned in these top categories.�
While Cuthbertson finished his prep career, Cherry will have a chance to win a fourth all-state award next year.
�That would be great for me and my family,� Cherry said. �It�s something to look forward to and it�s something to accomplish next year.�

FAIRFAX, Va. – The York College women's track & field squad competed at the at the Patriot Games hosted by George Mason University on Saturday. The indoor meet saw the Spartans break two school records as they got to take a look at the host site for the inaugural Capital Athletic Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships on February 19.
Deborah Fidele put together a terrific effort in the 400 meters as she broke one of the two program records. The Spartan rookie ran to a 1:02.71 as she lowered by the previous Spartan best (1:05.27 on February 20, 2011) by two-and-a-half seconds. Aside from her tremendous work in the 400, Fidele also competed in the 200 to record a 21st-place 28.71.
York's second ruptured mark came in the 4x800 meter relay. Anna Spaniol, who was part of the new distance medley relay record set last Saturday, joined with Misty Parshall, Mandy Parshall, and Megan Phillips to record a 10:29.37. Their combined effort bested the prior mark of 10:29.85 set back in January of 2011.
Rookie Hannah Ritzman had a solid performance for the Green and White as she competed in the 60, 200, and 4x400 relay. The top Spartan finisher in the 60 and the 200, Ritzman notched 8.56 to finish 18th overall in the 60 while taking 20th in the 200 with a 28.64.
Laura Rowlands posted a fourth-place 1.55-meter leap in the high jump while also taking 14th in the long jump. In that long jump event, Rowlands only leapt one time and notched a 4.69-meter result.
In the throws, Ashley Menniti had a strong showing for York. In both the shot put and weight throw, the newcomer was the top Green and White finisher taking 14th in the weight throw (10.84 meters) and 15th in the shot (9.33 meters). Katie Shinn finished 16th in the weight throw (10.38 meters) while Meaghan Jackson took 17th in the shot put (9.22 meters).
Back on the track, Jessica Miller had a quality 3,000-meter race as she posted an 11:32.74 to finish 14th. Caroline DeLany snagged eighth in the 1,000 with a 3:20.85.
Phillips, Mandy Parshall, and Rachel Berninger each nabbed top-20 marks in the 800. Phillips notched the best time of the group with a 2:33.73 while Parshall finished two spots back at 2:35.68 while Berninger finished two more places back with a 2:36.68.
The Spartans return to action on Friday, February 3, when they travel to Susquehanna University. Start time for the meet is slated for 4:00 pm.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Orders for long-lasting U.S.-made goods surged last month and home prices posted their biggest year-on-year gain in six and a half years in January, the latest signs the U.S. economy regained momentum early in the first quarter.
The upbeat picture was dimmed somewhat by other data on Tuesday showing a sharp drop in consumer confidence as Americans worried about the impact of tighter fiscal policy, particularly$85 billion in government budget cuts known as the "sequester."
"The economy continues to expand in the first quarter, but we do have a drag from the sequester," Gus Faucher, senior economist at PNC Financial Services Group in Pittsburgh, said.
Durable goods orders jumped 5.7 percent in February as demand for transportation equipment rebounded, the Commerce Department said. The rise in orders reversed January's 3.8 percent plunge and handily beat economists' expectations.
While orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft, a closely watched proxy for business spending plans, posted their largest decline since July, the drop in demand in this so-called core capital followed a big jump in January, and economists were largely unfazed.
"To the extent that the weakness in core capital goods orders was a partial retracement of the unsustainable big gains the month before, the constructive tone in business investment over the past few months remains largely intact," Millan Mulraine, a senior economist at TD Securities in New York, said.
Shipments of core capital goods actually increased 1.9 percent, leading some economists to bump up their forecasts for first-quarter economic growth.
JPMorgan raised its estimate by 0.4 percentage point to a 2.7 percent annual rate, while Goldman Sachs upped its forecast by a tenth of point to 3 percent. The economy expanded at an annual pace of only 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter.
A strengthening housing market is also giving the economy a lift. Standard & Poor's said its S&P/Case Shiller composite index of 20 metropolitan areas rose 8.1 percent in January from a year ago, its biggest rise since June 2006.
It was the first time since March 2006 that all 20 metropolitan areas tracked by the index showed year-over-year price increases. On a month-on-month basis the index rose 1 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis.
"The housing market recovery is going to be a positive contributor to growth going forward, which is important," said Chris Costanzo, an investment officer at Tanglewood Wealth Management in Houston.
Stocks on Wall Street ended higher, pushing the Standard & Poor's 500 index within spitting distance of its all-time high. The dollar hovered near four-month highs against the euro, as troubles in Cyprus also weighed on the single currency.
The dollar also rose against the yen. U.S. Treasury debt prices eked out modest gains.
Another report from the Commerce Department showed a drop in new homes sales last month after hefty gains in January, but sales were up 12.3 percent from February of last year.
The report underscored the firming in home prices. The median sales price for a new home increased 3 percent from January to $246,800 and was up 2.9 percent from a year ago.
Rising prices are creating a wealth effect that is helping to cushion consumer spending against a recent hike in taxes.
"As such, consumer spending remains in a growth mode, despite the recent headwinds of higher taxes and diminished discretionary income," said Jim Baird, chief investment officer at Plante Moran Financial Advisors in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
With the fundamental health of the U.S. economy improving, economists said they did not believe the drop in the Conference Board's index of consumer attitudes, which slid to a reading of 59.7 from 68 in February, to prove lasting.
"We expect consumer confidence to gain ground as the shock value of the sequester disappears," said Chris Christopher an economist at IHS Global Insight in Lexington, Massachusetts.
Last month, overall orders for durable goods were buoyed by a 21.7 percent jump for transportation equipment as demand for civilian aircraft surged 95.3 percent.

I thought it was a non-event the sleazy way he spoke to reporter Mel McLaughlin. Don't get me wrong, he should not have behaved the way he did, but he was not offensive, he was just completely unprofessional. Having said that...
Is this the beginning of a raft of revelations of womanising? There is now the allegation that he exposed himself to a woman in the team dressing room and he is apparently on record as speaking like that to other female journalists. I say this story is just heating up.

The Victoria Esplanade
The Victoria Esplanade, a jewel in Palmerston North's crown.
1 / 8
The Victoria Esplanade, a jewel in Palmerston North's crown.
Most have visited it but have we actually spent some real time exploring this park we call the Victoria Esplanade?
I consider myself very lucky having grown up on Fitzherbert Avenue and the Victoria Esplanade was my back yard, no computers or cell phone, just a huge park to explore and play in.
It was in 1877 that 80 hectares was granted to the then Borough of Palmerston North, which was covered in native bush, though by 1890 much of this bush had been destroyed by farming, so the land was divided and 39 acres known as The Esplanade was formed, there are other parts of the split that is interesting, like the 22 acres now named Fitzherbert Park, but I want to focus on The Esplanade. It wasn't till 1897 that development really got started as a public recreation area and the name Victoria Esplanade was chosen to commemorate Queen Victoria's 60th Jubilee.
The Victoria Esplanade has developed and flourished over the years, the well groomed and maintained gardens throughout this 39-acre park are a credit to the team that look after them, with flowerbeds that are always changing. The special Begonia hot-house named, the "Peter Black Conservatory" is well worth a visit, then there's the "Dugald McKenzie Rose garden", named after Superintendent of Parks and Reserves Dugald Mackenzie, opened in 1968, this is a rose lovers haven, I by the way am not a huge rose lover, but with well over 5,000 rose bushes of all colours, you cannot help but be impressed and there is bound to be many you have not seen before, top this off with the fact it is a recognized international rose trial ground, so always something new to study, and all beautifully set out and maintained.
The nature walks through the bush established by the Manawatu branch of Forest & Bird in the 1970's are a great place to wonder and re-charge those weary work batteries, with massive trees and bird life that will keep you looking up, and speaking of the birds, the aviaries are full and the only place for miles around where you can get up close to a couple of our rare endemic natives, like the Kaka, the Kea, Blue Duck (Whio) enclosure, and Brown Teal that Peter who is caretaker for the aviaries, tells me with there breeding program, have produced hundreds of young chicks that have been released back into the wild.
Lets not forget the miniature railway that was established in 1969 and is now a 2.2k loop track that goes though the park with two stations, yes park by our Lido Aquatic Centre and take the train to the next station beside the huge children's play ground, which is another story itself, explore all you like then take the train back to your car, or just amble back through the park.
The Victoria Esplanade is not just the gardens, the birds, the beautifully restored and relocated post office that is now a Café within the huge palm tree lined avenue, it's a stunning slice of Palmerston North that must be visited, but not just visited you need to spend some real time exploring the many different corners that make the Victoria Esplanade so special.
The Victoria Esplanade, a jewel in Palmerston North's crown.

Positive Experience
Fund: Alsop Louie Partners
Posted by mandhillon on 2008-03-26
They were very quick to give a meeting and met with us several times, partially because of the extreme interest of their Associate Corey Reese. Corey invested a great deal of time and effort to make sure I was prepared for meetings and provided good feedback. Even when it became clear that we were not a good fit for the fund, Corey continued to meet with me and provide guidance as somebody who loves the industry, not just somebody who wanted to make money off of me. Stewart and Gilman provided good guidance and thoughtful engagement.PRIVATE: Members Only

Jake Sorofman is vice president at rPath, a vendor of technology for virtualizing software applications and managing the lifecycle of virtual appliances and application images for cloud and virtualized environments. You can contact Jake at [email protected].
I had a recent conversation with an industry analyst who made a stark observation about the state of enterprise systems management. He suggested that the way enterprises construct and maintain software systems today is far more art than science.
His analogy was useful: "Can you imagine building an airplane without a blueprint?"
I, for one, cannot -- particularly as I write this at 35,000 feet.
But his point was clear: software systems are complex and -- in the world of IT operations -- we leave far too much to chance. We fly blind.
Systems are typically cobbled together based on an unrepeatable trial-and-error approach of "making stuff work." Once systems are deployed, there is no way to consistently know what is running inside -- and what impact changes will have.
So, changes are avoided altogether or made with a trembling hand.
Software updates are rarely welcomed events inside the datacenter because the law of unintended consequences is the prevailing force. But the reality is that change happens -- and it happens more frequently than ever as a result of two key factors:
- The systems we deploy are more complex than ever -- an interdependent combination of application and infrastructure components that comprise each running system. These components evolve based on their own independent lifecycle, which means that systems are in a constant state of change -- and, often, conflict.
- Release cycles are rapid and iterative. Agile (and other iterative development processes) makes application development more effective, but it places new burdens on IT operations which is forced to consume change more frequently than ever.
Both of these factors -- system complexity and the rapid pace of change -- are forcing IT operations to the brink. This presents IT leadership with three options:
- Throwing people at the problem -- which, of course, is a wholly unpopular option for resource-constrained, cost-conscious companies today. As a result, the old standby solution of increasing IT overhead to deal with complexity is often replaced by
- Automation of existing processes -- which is popular both in principle and practice, but it risks lulling IT into a false sense of security in what remains a fundamentally flawed process. The problem is the way we create systems in the first place; without a proper model to represent the system, its bill of materials and its specific dependencies, organizations are flying blind and automation simply causes bad things to happen faster. The better option, of course, is to
- Create software systems that are "correct by construction" -- much like complex aircraft are engineered from the start with a deep understanding of parts and interdependency, this approach is about constructing software systems from these same principles. Rather than treating systems as a black box, this approach builds a model that drives the entire lifecycle of the system -- enabling automated deployment and maintenance, taming complexity and putting to rest the law of unintended consequences.
Needless to say, my vote is for option #3.

I can't think of a better way to brighten up a dull day than to sit drinking coffee with the gorgeous Darren Kennedy. I had the pleasure of meeting Darren last week in Dublin and was pleasantly surprised to find someone who talks even more than I do!
Darren is a man of many talents and is known to us, not only for his keen fashion sense, but as a presenter, producer and broadcaster. As we make ourselves comfortable in the little city centre café, I ask him which of these titles he prefers.
"I suppose primarily, I'd consider myself a broadcaster/presenter," he says. "But, as you say, people will know me from other stuff too and that's fine by me. I'm very passionate about fashion and have been since I was a kid. And you'll sometimes see me on shows such as This Morning on ITV doing a slot about gadgets – I'm a bit of a geeky boy like that!"
Well geek is certainly not the word that springs to mind when I look at Darren in Diesel jeans, Comme des Garcon tee and River Island tweed jacket. I want to know a bit more about how he got into fashion.
"Well I'd probably have to give a lot of the credit to my mam," he smiles. "She loves fashion and was always dragging me around the shops when I was little. But unlike most kids, I actually loved it. I found I had a great eye for it and she'd try things on and ask me how they looked. I have an older brother too and I was always robbing his stuff. When he started working, he had money to buy nice clothes and I was always ready to nick them! I was the best dressed thirteen year old in the area, wearing expensive paisley shirts and Levis, as well as smelling of Dior Fahrenheit!"
So, other than his big brother, who are his fashion icons or influences? "Dolce & Gabbana are one of my absolute favourite labels," he enthuses. "But in terms of who I'd love to work with, it would have to be Tom Ford. I think he's amazing. He eats, drinks and sleeps style, from his clothes to his fragrances. He's a really hard worker too. Not only is he a professional, but he's a perfectionist. There's a little bit of that in me and I'd love to get an insight into how he works."
Darren's own style certainly hasn't gone unnoticed as he's just been nominated, along with some of Ireland's finest, as Most Stylish Man in the VIP Awards 2012. "I was really surprised and delighted to be nominated," he says. "I don't know whether I'll win or not but I think my biggest competition is probably Nicky Byrne from Westlife as he has such a huge following." Well, in my opinion, Darren definitely deserves a shot at winning so if you'd like to help him along, you can vote here.
His love of fashion also spurred him on to create a fantastic online magazine called helpmystyle.ie. "I like style in general," he says. "I love to be in places that inspire me and that please me aesthetically and that carries through to what I wear. So helpmystyle.ie is all about stylish living, as well as fashion for men and women. We get more than 60,000 hits a month and growing. I' also working on a revamp at the moment which will be launching in the next few weeks."
At only thirty-one, Darren has already achieved so much in his career. With a degree in international business and languages under his belt, his first taste of the media was when he had a job as a runner on TV3. "I knew at that point what I wanted to do with my life," he says. "I went on to do various other jobs here in Ireland, such as reporting on the Gerry Ryan radio show and the Mooney Show. I also worked on the first three series of Operation Transformation on RTE1 and I was the one who built their website. It's been the most successful RTE website to date and that makes me feel really proud."
Darren's face is a regular one on television in the UK these days. So how did he get his big break there? "I started putting feelers out in the UK and two years ago I got a call to audition for a new BBC show called Project Parent. It was a fun show where children took control of their single parents' lives. I got the job along with Angellica Bell and it was a brilliant experience. I got myself a UK agent at that stage and now I'm doing Holiday Heaven on Earth for Channel 5."
I can feel Darren's excitement when he mentions the holiday show he enjoys so much so I just sit back and let him tell me about it. "It's an amazing job," he smiles. "I get to visit the most brilliant places and call it work! Don't get me wrong, it can be hard work and with all the travelling, it can be tiring, but it's so worth it. I'm just back from California, where we surfed and saw elf seals, went to Hearst Castle and visited vineyards. It was incredible."
So was California his favourite out of the places he visited with the show? "It's hard to say what my absolute favourite has been. Everyone has their own idea of heaven but definitely one of my very favourite places was Hong Kong. I felt a real affinity with the place. It's quite like New York in ways but because of where it's situated, the skyline and the views are amazing. I love the simple things too and one of the best things I did was to visit a local tea house. When you go in, there are five floors and people of every age are having tea and sharing tables. They bring around trays of food called dim sum and shout out what's on them. You can grab anything and they put it on your list. I was the only westerner in there and I adored it. I ate my own body weight in food and it only came to about seven euro!"
With his hectic schedule, I wondered if Darren has any time at all to just kick back and enjoy some quiet time with his family and friends. "All my family are here in Ireland and they're really important to me so I try to get back to them as often as possible. My partner, Aidan, is also here in Dublin. We have a fantastic relationship and we must be doing something right because we've been together almost ten years now. I think the key to managing busy lives is planning. Aidan is a playwright and travels a lot too so we regularly look at our diaries and see where we're going to be and make sure that not too much time goes by without seeing each other."
Before I met Darren, I got to know him on twitter. Does he think the social network plays an important role in today's world? "I quite like twitter," he says, "and definitely for a business, it's a fantastic tool. From the point of view of helpmystyle.ie, it helps me connect with an audience. But from a personal point of view, I find it brilliant to help me stay in touch. When I'm away, I can keep abreast of what's happening. I also get to meet a lot of people I wouldn't have met otherwise. I do think it can be addictive though and it's important to switch off and keep a balance."
Darren's tight schedule doesn't leave much time for anything else but one of the things he speaks passionately about is his involvement with a group called Belong To. "Belong To is an Irish charitable organisation which supports gay and lesbian kids. It helps them to come out and supports them along the way. I'm delighted to be an ambassador for them."
So where does Darren see himself in twelve months time? What's next on the horizon? "Oh there's still so much I want to do and achieve," he laughs. "I'd definitely love to have another series of the travel show under my belt and see more of the world. I'd also love to do something that combines my passion for style with travel. Wouldn't it be amazing to travel the world and look at different styles? I'm always pitching new ideas. I believe people who are successful work hard and don't get to the top by resting on their laurels! Basically, I just want to build on the foundations I've already laid."
Well there's little chance of Darren resting on his laurels with his drive and ambition and I have no doubt he'll do well no matter what he turns his hand to. What a pleasure it was to chat to him and I was sorry to have to go. If you'd like a glimpse of Darren at work, take a look at this and you can tune into Holiday Heaven on Earth every Thursday on Channel 5 at 7pm.

Opportunity still rocking and roving on Mars
What was supposed to be a 90 day mission has turned into a 10 year mission. NASA celebrates Mars Rover's 10th anniversary. VPC
The rover Opportunity touched down on the Martian surface in January 2004.
Even for a robot, persistence pays off.
On Jan. 24, 2004, the little rover known as Opportunity touched down on the Martian surface, to start a career that was expected to last only a few months. Ten years later, the senior-citizen rover is still going strong – and after many frustrating years scouting sites far too acidic to host life, Opportunity has finally spotted a place where the conditions were once hospitable to living organisms. The first such site, a complex of lake beds and streams, was revealed by NASA's Curiosity rover, a Johnny-come-lately that landed on Mars in mid-2012.
"We have discovered another place on Mars that could have provided a habitat for life in a more ancient time," Michael Meyer, lead scientist of NASA's Mars exploration program, said at a NASA press conference Thursday.
The new life-friendly spot is on the edge of a giant hollow called Endeavour Crater, which the golf-cart-size rover arrived at in 2011. There the rover's sensors found evidence of clay minerals that can only form in a water environment with moderate acidity. It's not clear whether the site, which is the oldest evidence of water found by Opportunity, once held a lake, a stream or some other form of water.
"If I were there back when this material was being emplaced and altered, and I had my summer house, this is where I would drill to get good drinking water," said Ray Arvidson of Washington University in St. Louis, one of the lead scientists for Opportunity.
To go with that now-vanished water, the rover has just spotted what scientists are calling the "jelly doughnut," a small, odd rock with a deep-red center, white rim and a composition unlike anything seen before on the Red Planet.
"A rock just simply appeared in front of us. ... This is strange," said Cornell University's Steve Squyres, the top scientist for Opportunity. "Mars keeps throwing new stuff at us, and it's these kinds of unexpected discoveries that make this mission continue to be the exciting and fun thing that it is." The rock was probably "tiddly-winked" out of the Martian surface by the rover's wheels when the vehicle performed a pirouette, Squyres said, but so far scientists have been unable to determine the rock's original resting place.
The rover's sister robot, Spirit, has been incommunicado since 2010, but Opportunity is still healthy. NASA may have to pull the plug on the mission for financial reasons before Opportunity is ready to die, but in the meantime, the can-do rover is headed to explore more places that may have once hosted life.
"What we're going to see, we don't know. We'll find out when we get there," Squyres said. "We have an exciting period of discoveries ahead of us. … As long as the rover keeps going, we'll keep going."

Chip Slump: Don't Blame the Economy
If you think that the semiconductor industrys poor performance in 2012 is solely due to depressed economic conditions, think again.
A lack of innovation in the PC market could have more to do with sluggish chip revenues than any economic slowdown, and the numbers reflect this dilemma. The latest figures from IHS show that the research firm is downgrading its forecast for the global semiconductor market in 2012 and now expects revenue to decline by 2.3 percent this year.
According to IHS estimates:
The newly adjusted figure shows a steeper descent compared to the 0.1 percent retreat first projected in the previous August AMFT forecast and the 1.7 percent decline forecast in the September AMFT. Even so, the prognosis remains the same: This will mark the first annual decline for the global semiconductor industry since 2009.
Analysts at IHS say the downgrade is due to weak economic conditions that have stalled business spending on electronics, but a deeper dive into the numbers reveals that even with a sluggish economy, spending on tablets and smartphones is strong, leading IHS analysts to note that the only application market forecast to grow this year is wireless semiconductors, which have benefited from innovative product introductions.
The surge in popularity of smartphones and media tablets is driving healthy growth in the overall wireless semiconductor market segment in 2012 with a projected 7.7 percent expansion, Dale Ford, senior director, electronics and semiconductor research for IHS, said in a statement However, all of the other end markets for semiconductors will see revenues fall in 2012, negating all the positive effects of the wireless segment.
One of the main drivers of mobile device sales is the attractiveness of Apple Inc. products. Whether it be the iPhone 5, with its larger display, faster chip, or 8MP iSight camera, or the introduction of the iPad mini, Apple has stayed ahead of the curve while offering competitive prices. The companys ability to provide new innovative features has grabbed the publics attention and their pocket books, despite the jobless numbers and a weak economy.
On the other hand, PC innovation tells a different story. No one is lining up to buy a notebook, a desktop, or a laptop. Weve seen how slower PC sales have negatively affected chip makers like Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, which in recent quarters have suffered a decline in revenues.
In an interview, Ford agreed with me that innovation and price points are a challenge for PC makers, and he said certainly a notebook PC looks very similar now than what a notebook PC looked like 8 years ago.
In as much as the numbers reflect a slow economy, they also expose an obvious innovation gap. According to IHS:
Tied to the PC slowdown is the discrete component market and the combined memory markets, which are forecast to suffer revenue declines of 10.6 percent and 10.7 percent respectively.
With the withdrawal of Texas Instruments Inc. from the wireless baseband market, digital signal processors (DSPs) are expected to experience a staggering 30.9 percent plunge in revenue this year. Other areas of the chip market feared better. The estimated annual growth for the CMOS image sensor market is 31.8 percent. LEDs will experience a double-digit revenue increases at 17.5 percent, and the application-specific logic ICs market will grow by 5.6 percent and the sensors market will experience 4 percent annual growth.
Looking ahead to 2013, IHS predicts that the semiconductor industry will experience a revival that will be driven by an improving economic picture.
One year ago, IHS predicted that Any type of meaningful rebound in revenue growth is not expected to take place until 2013. The IHS iSuppli preliminary AMFT predicts semiconductor revenue will expand by 8.2 percent in 2013 if the small improvement in worldwide GDP growth forecast for 2013 holds up.
I dont believe that an improving economy will necessarily increase PC sales. In fact, it is entirely possible that if the economy improves, we may see even more tablet purchases instead of PCs. The bottom line is that consumers need a reason to buy computer products, and if PCs lack an attractive form factor, features, and price tag, then PCs will not be able to compete in a changing and dynamic market. 2013 promises to be a very interesting year.

Comedienne Chelsea Handler has upset Jewish leaders after dressing her chat show sidekick Chuy Bravo up as Adolf Hitler for a TV skit.
Officials at the Anti-Defamation League were not amused when the Mexican entertainer poked fun at Germany's World Cup win by appearing as Hitler on Handler's "Chelsea Lately."
A statement from Abraham Foxman, the ADL's national director and a Holocaust survivor, reads: "While we try to give comedians leeway and do not believe that Nazi jokes should be completely off limits, this was an instance of taking a Hitler parody to the extreme. It was tasteless, offensive and hurtful, both to Holocaust survivors and their families and to members of the German team and all Germans.
"This Hitler parody in itself was tasteless, but Chelsea Handler's references to it throughout the program and her connecting it with Germany's World Cup victory took the joke way overboard."

any one try this? I don't think Australia is so hard hit.However I just did a treatment of Humaworm and was quite surprised at the amount of critters there.
Any idea of what is in the stuff they spray? What it is made of?
1. An encasing filament structure, generally on the order of 12 to 20 microns in thickness, and it is this form which is visible to the human eye. This encasing filament may contain an internal network of sub-micron filaments, or some combination of the following items on this list.2. A chlamydia-like organism (Chlamydia pneumonia is the strongest candidate thus far) measuring on the order of 0.5 to 0.8 microns.3. A pleomorphic form (Mycoplasma-like is the strongest candidate thus far).4. An erythrocytic (red blood cell - likely artificial or modified) form.It is proposed that one reason that this set of organisms has defied definition is because IT NEVER HAS existed before, i.e., it is indeed a "new" organism. The question that arises is how do we go about classifying the overlying form given the underlying complexity and variation of the INTERNAL constituents? This paper will attempt to provide a rationale that is consistent with the available information and evidence.
I am still not quite convinced that everybody has some strain or other of Morgellons in them.Carnicom has to get his message through, which is a good thing. People need to be aware of what the main stream media, medical and pharmaceutical industry don't want the general public to know.Still, saying that everyone has Morgellons fibers in them at some stage or other goes a bit far to say.
I think if they are spraying this stuff in the air then there is the potential for us all rto be infected with it. If say, you have a cut and it got in. Possibly just by breathing it in?BUTEven if it does`nt get in you directly it`ll be in the food you eat, the water you drink, yep. even organic stuff, If its grown outside of an oxygen tent then its contaminated. I saw something about being able to visualise fibres with black light or UV light (black lights easier to get and safer thou)I did this and it freaked me out BIG TIMEBe warned if you try this and its positive you will not sleep right for a week.Ok, so if you want to see for your self what is falling out the sky try this:Wait til there is a real bad spray day, you probably won`t have to wait too long.Launder a black COTTON top of some kind, keep it in a plastic bag straight from the wash / dryer.Once the crap is spread and falling, go somewhere totally dark - a cupboard, basement, whatever, just make certain its real dark.Open up the bag, put the top on. Now this is important, turn on your black light and check your top. It ought to be pretty clear, maybe the odd bit of nylon will glow.Once you are satisfied that you know how much stuff on your top "glows" and what id normal, go step outside.5 mins will do, or take the dog for a walk, up to you.Once you come back in, head straight back to your dark place,Take a deep breath and turn on your light.Check:The tops of your shoulders, arms, chest, places where you would expect stuff to fall if someone dropped a ton of dust on you from above.Now check your hair.Then go and check your pillow.I tell you, this stuff about fibres is very real, its raining down on us all the time. I`m considering making a video of this test.Go ahead and try it, you can get a black light really cheap.( i think the red wine (alcohol) and peroxide may just be reacting to amylase (spit enzyme) and causing these "fibres" but i will research it more.)
This whole "red wine spit test" sounds like smoke and mirrors. With all the rambling that guy does on his site, it's hard to tell what he's actually claiming from testing. Is he saying these "fibers" have been detected in people scientifically and independently of the spit test? Is he saying the only test is the spit test and if so, is he saying the fibers only show with red wine? What troubles me is he test method appears to me to be compromised from the part where he says one must wash their mouth/brush before they do the test, but gives no instruction on how to insure that the wash a person uses isn't contaminated. He has to prove that the brushing/cleaning isn't contaminating the test(such as using pre-tested distilled water). If they won't show up without the red wine part, I suspect it is the wine that is the culprit, and not fibers from chemtrails. We know that industry is genetically messing with products all the time, so what's to stop a company from trying various methods to make better wine? Or maybe he's stumbled onto a delivery system, the wine, of some kind of a scientific experiment. Speculation at best, but it still sounds very fishy.
Doesnt the fact that theyve been around for quite a while added to the fact that theres about 7 billion of us now make this a pointless thread?I suppose you could still argue the some daft scientist somewhere left a lid off scenario but it fails miserably in the depopulation argument.pointless thread!
Why red wine? That's bizarre... you can rinse with hydrogen peroxide without red wine... but that won't work? Is there a chemical reaction that occurs when you mix the two (something that might precipitate the formation of 'fibers' - perhaps glom grapeskin fibers together)... I agree. Fishy.

The Maharani Collection is an exploration into the exceptionally exotic and artisanal world of India's queens and their jewels. Each Maharani Collection design has been hand drawn by Elly and hand made by artisans in Jaipur, India. Each piece is made with sterling silver, 22 carat gold and precious and semi precious stones.
Maharani is from Sanskrit; mahārājñī, where mahā means great, and rājñī means queen: the great queens of magical India.
The collection draws inspiration from the great fashion houses that were enormously influenced by the excesses of the Maharani, such as Cartier, whilst also studying Indian history; both artifacts and illustrations dating as far back as the 1st Century, where the Indian love of jewellery held mystique, power and reverence. The collection has also been influenced by women in small Indian villages, who are adorned with bangles and anklets and earrings, that arrest you with their regal presence.
The Maharani Collection offers the exoticness of India's jewels in a refined, approachable, wearable, beautiful way.
The Maharani Collection; for the queen in us all.

An attorney representing Okaloosa County plans to file a lawsuit later this week against Vision Airlines to recoup more than $146,000 in unpaid fees.
An attorney representing Okaloosa County plans to file a lawsuit later this week against Vision Airlines to recoup more than $146,000 in unpaid fees.
Last month, the Okaloosa County Commission voted to sue Vision Airlines if the discount carrier did not pay its debt, or at least develop a new payment schedule, before the end of the year.
�Disappointingly, we did not receive payment or a confirmed payment plan by Vision Airlines by the December 31, 2012, deadline,� Okaloosa County�s airports director Greg Donovan wrote in an email. �There was some phone conversations between our finance manager and their CFO just prior to the deadline but no actionable effort on their part.
�So, as directed by the Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners, it is now in the hands of our attorneys, who will be filing suit this week.�
Vision Airlines is delinquent in paying $146,974 to the airport. The vast majority of that is $117,660 in unpaid passenger facility charges. The other $29,313 comes from unpaid utilities, rent and fuel for its ground servicing equipment, as well as late fees.
View Vision's operating agreement with Okaloosa County.
Harry Chiles, an attorney with the Tallahassee law firm of Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, said Vision Airlines will have 20 days to file a response to the lawsuit after they are served paperwork.
A $4.50 passenger facility charge is collected by each airline for every paying passenger that flies out of Northwest Florida Regional Airport. The airline keeps 11 cents from each charge for collecting the fee but is supposed to pay the remaining $4.39 to the airport within 30 days after the end of the month in which it is collected.
Vision Airlines started offering flights at Northwest Florida Regional in December 2010 but did not make its first passenger facility charge payment until October 2011, when it sent a $55,000 payment. The airline then agreed to a plan to make weekly payments of $25,000, which would have paid off the debt in only 11 weeks.
After that, though, the payments slowed and eventually stopped altogether. Vision also stopped communicating with the airport and did not return messages seeking comment on this story.
Vision owes similar debts in other cities it served, including Louisville, Ky.; Gulfport, Miss.; Little Rock, Ark.; and Baton Rouge, La.

Burning Wood Bad for the Air
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
A panel of government officials is worried. The air quality in some areas is not good. The air is polluted with soot. The officials worry that the air is harmful to the people who breathe the air. They are experts. They study the environment. They discuss ways to stop the air pollution. The panel decided to make some changes to the law.
The new plan places strict limits on how much soot can be released into the air. Now, a measurement of 65 parts of soot is considered safe. The new plan would reduce that number to 30. The daily limit of pollution in the air would be cut in half.
These new standards would affect industry. The limits would also affect people who own wood stoves and fireplaces. The county will keep track of the air quality every day. People would be required to stop burning wood when the levels are high. They could also install a kind of special fireplace. These fireplaces burn very little wood. They do not pollute the air as much. Some counties will punish families who violate the ban. They will have to pay a fine for not complying with the law.
Some states do not have much industry. Their pollution problem is not too bad. They would still have to regulate how much pollution is released into the air. The experts hope that this ban will help keep the air cleaner.
Before the plan becomes a law the public will have a chance to comment on it. Citizens will have ninety days to ask questions and voice concerns about the plan. Then it will become a law.

Science, mystery and excitement will combine when Hope College welcomes the Mad Science production of "CSI Live" on Saturday, Jan. 24, at 2 p.m. at the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland. The production is aimed for ages eight and older.
"CSI: Live" is an exciting, interactive journey through the fascinating world of crime scene investigations. When a crime is committed at the Las Vegas premiere of the Max Spade Magic Show, the CSI team springs into action. Sydney Mathis and David Hart play the roles of CSI investigators and are on the case, assisted by supervisor Gil Grissom through a live video connection from the Las Vegas Crime Lab.
Audience members will jump up on stage and become part of the action; becoming witnesses, suspects and CSI recruits. Together they will use their superior logic and forensic know-how to uncover hidden details, investigate the evidence and test their theories. Whether it's analyzing mysterious gasses, launching projectiles into a target, or firing a laser beam across the stage, the CSI recruits will have to be on their toes to help solve the crime before it's too late.
Mad Scienceis the world's leading fun science brand. Its entertaining and engaging productions spark the imagination of children and family audiences with shows conducted in amusement parks, theme parks, fairs, schools, camps and homes.

Bhopal for perspective: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster
Staff at a chemicals factory in north-western France are working to stop a gas leak that has spread a foul smell to Paris and south-east England.
French Ecology Minister Delphine Batho said she was heading for Rouen, where the factory is located, to oversee operations to deal with the leak.
Thousands of people, from as far away as Paris and London, have complained of nausea and headaches.
The gas is reported to be mercaptan, a harmless additive to natural gas.
It leaked on Monday from a plant run by a French subsidiary of the US chemicals manufacturer Lubrizol near Rouen, 75 miles (120km) north-west of Paris.
Winds blew the cloud over northern France on Monday night and then into England on Tuesday.
A cloud of foul-smelling but harmless gas has leaked out of a factory in north-western France, drifting across the Channel and prompting complaints from Paris to south-eastern England.
The leak is blamed on a chemical factory in Rouen, and many residents compared the odour to diesel fumes.
Police in Kent and Sussex said they had received a large number of calls from people worried about the odour.
The gas is reported believed to be mercaptan, an additive to natural gas.
It leaked on Monday from a plant near Rouen, 75 miles (120km) north-west of Paris. Winds blew the cloud over northern France on Monday night and then into England on Tuesday.
"Nobody smoke" people joked on Facebook when they first started to whiff what is being called "Le Pong".
Some have described it as smelling like rotten eggs while have others have detected notes of stale cabbage.
But for most people, the odour is reminiscent of diesel fumes.
It all stems from a gas leak at a chemical plant in Rouen, which is more than 60 miles north west of Paris.
The substance responsible is mercaptan – a harmless additive to natural gas.
But while it might not be toxic – it doesn't half smell.
Tunbridge Wells in Kent is 120 miles north of Rouen but on Tuesday morning, Le Pong was certainly in evidence.
It seemed to come in waves, wafted across the Channel on the chill January air.
via tvmeioambiente.com:
"Its arrival on British shores brought a flurry of calls to local police and the National Grid's gas emergency line, with the latter reporting 60,000 calls by 10am on Tuesday, as against a normal daily total of 10,000. Official reassurance often came via Facebook and Twitter, with Hastings police using the self-explanatory #noneedtopanic hashtag.
Alarm was, inevitably, replaced on social media by a welter of flatulence jokes and jibes at neighbouring towns accused of always smelling that way. Before too long the semi-official term Le Pong emerged, seemingly coined by a Portsmouth newspaper."
"It's not so much a leak as a product that has decomposed, which smells very bad and which is escaping," Pierre-Jean Payrouse of Lubrizol told RTL radio. "An investigation is under way but our priority is to deal with the problem."
Some French people remained sceptical about the safety assurances. "Everyone says there's nothing to panic about," one woman, Patricia Cousteau, was quoted as saying in the Paris Normandie newspaper. "But they said the same thing about the Chernobyl cloud."
In organic chemistry, a thiol (pron.: /ˈθaɪˌɒl/) is an organosulfur compound that contains a carbon-bonded sulfhydryl (–C–SH or R–SH) group (where R represents an alkane, alkene, or other carbon-containing group of atoms). Thiols are the sulfur analogue of alcohols (that is, sulfur takes the place of oxygen in the hydroxyl group of an alcohol), and the word is a portmanteau of "thio" + "alcohol," with the first word deriving from Greek θεῖον ("thion") = "sulfur". [note 1] The –SH functional group itself is referred to as either a thiol group or a sulfhydryl group.
Many thiols have strong odors resembling that of garlic. Thiols are used as odorants to assist in the detection of natural gas (which in pure form is odorless), and the "smell of natural gas" is due to the smell of the thiol used as the odorant.
Thiols are often referred to as mercaptans.[2][3] The term mercaptan is derived from the Latin mercurium captans (capturing mercury)[4] because the thiolate group bonds so strongly with mercury compounds.[5]

Marcus Lattimore's arrival helped foster a new winning culture in Columbia.
When Marcus Lattimore arrived at South Carolina, Steve Spurrier and the Gamecocks were coming off a 7-6 season and had yet to experience the success many of the fans hoped for when the Ol' Ball Coach was hired.
"I'd been here five years. I was a pedestrian 35-28," Spurrier said Wednesday. "We were averaging seven wins and five to six losses a year. Then we signed Marcus Lattimore."
As the saying goes, the rest is history.
The former Byrnes star made an immediate impact, carrying USC to an SEC Eastern Division title his first season on campus while winning the National Freshman of the Year award.
He didn't stop there, though. Carolina won 11 games last season for the first time in school history and has a chance to match the feat with a win over Michigan in the Outback Bowl next month.
After winning 35 games in five years before Lattimore's arrival, Spurrier and Carolina have won 30 in three years with him.
"We beat Georgia three times, we beat Tennessee three times, we beat Clemson three times, we beat Florida two out of three, we were 11-1 against those three teams," Spurrier said. "We got our first top-10 (finish) ever. It's all happened the last three years."
After experiencing what he called the best three years of his life and helping to change the culture of a program that was stuck in mediocrity, Lattimore announced Wednesday that he'll forgo his senior season and enter the 2013 NFL Draft.
The former Byrnes star, who suffered a severe season-ending right knee injury Oct. 27 against Tennessee, will likely sit out next season and look to return to the football field in 2014.
After leaving his mark on the University of South Carolina, he'll look to do the same in the NFL.
"We have nothing to prove as far as a running back here or anywhere," his father, Archie, said Wednesday. "He doesn't have anything else to prove as a college running back so we decided to go ahead and declare."
Speaking in front of his family and a large contingent of media, Lattimore fought to hold back tears as he announced his decision.
After the news conference he exchanged hugs with Spurrier and his family before leaving the South Carolina media room for likely the last time.
While his career certainly was filled with highlights, it'll also be remembered for season-ending injuries he suffered each of the last two years.
Spurrier said that even though Lattimore was hurt at the end of the 2011 and 2012 seasons, his influence and fingerprints were all over the team.
"Marcus is one of my favorite players, not because he's the best running back maybe I've ever coached, but because he's an unselfish player that wants to do what's best for the team," Spurrier said. "He does everything to be in the best physical shape he can be. It rubs off on the other guys, there's no question about that. He does everything the coaches ask him to do and more. That's the type of player he is."
After tearing his left ACL in 2011, Lattimore tore three ligaments in his right knee this season. He said it was tough at times to stay positive but that the cards and letters from all over the country kept him upbeat.
He added that teammate and longtime friend Dylan Thompson also kept him in a good state of mind immediately after the injury.
Thompson, USC's quarterback and a former Boiling Springs star, visited Lattimore at his house just days after the injury.
"He came by my house a couple of days after it happened, and we were just talking the whole time, not talking about my knee but just talking about whatever," Lattimore said. "He said remember God doesn't make mistakes, and that really put it into perspective for me. This happened for a reason. After that I didn't ask 'Why me?' anymore. I was just ready to get the surgery and get back to work."
Thompson said he knew Lattimore was hurting physically and emotionally and said he wanted to do what he could to help in any way possible.
"I just thought it'd be important since we've known each other. The coolest thing about it is when we're together we don't talk about football much. I told him I don't even want to mention football. God doesn't make mistakes. Even though it happened there's a reason for it and a reason behind it," Thompson said.
"I felt like he'd be able to impact more people because of that and it turns out it became a national thing when that happened. His whole story is national. It just gives him a great opportunity to be a role model to a lot of people."
Thompson added that he supports Lattimore's decision and believes it's the best move for him.
"I've known for a little while now. Honestly I felt like that was in his best interest to do. He's worked hard toward his dream, and that's always been his dream to play in the NFL."
Thompson said it's been great playing with Lattimore and watching his impact on the program.
"We talked about when we came in we wanted to win big games, and we've been able to do that. We kind of just wanted to change the culture at Carolina. That was kind of the main goal. He's been the main part of that. I don't think anybody will have anything bad to say about him."
Byrnes offensive coordinator Bobby Bentley, who coached Lattimore in high school, said he believes the running back made the best decision for him.
"I was proud of him because I know he's going to do his homework in any decision he makes. He always surrounds himself with good people. He did his homework and made a very wise decision. I think the bottom line is after you've had an injury like that, he's already proved himself. He's proved himself as a player, so why not just go pro. At the end of the day that's what it boils down to," he said.
"From my standpoint, I've seen him play since third grade. I've known what's in him, and I've known what's in him as more than just a football player. He's just a fine human being."

Racing for AQHA champion owners Johnny Trotter and Burnett Ranches LLC, Viva Mi Corazon continued his love affair with Los Alamitos Race Course with an ultra impressive victory in the $196,600 Los Alamitos Winter Derby on Saturday night.
Ridden by AQHA champion jockey Cody Jensen for trainer Trey Wood, Viva Mi Corazon ran powerfully from post number one en route to a 1 ¼ length victory over Abigail Kawananakoa's Spirit Leader in the 400 yard race. Sired by First Down Dash, Viva Mi Corazon covered the distance in a sizzling time of :19.467 to enjoy his fifth win in six outings at the Orange County track. Bred by Bob and Jerry Gaston in Texas, the gelding as a 2-year-old won the PCQHRA Breeders Futurity and was second in the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity in what is his only local defeat.
"I love this horse and the bottom line is that he loves it at Los Alamitos," said Wood's assistant trainer Paul Leal. "He enjoys it so much here. When I take him to the track to train, he just starts strutting around like a champion. He loves being here."
Viva Mi Corazon was sent off as the second choice in the wagering at 9-5 odds following a strong trial victory on January 25. The role of favorite in this race went to Richard Frandsen's fastest qualifier SS Paydirt, who ended up third in this race and is also trained by Trey Wood.
"Viva Mi Corazon was a little nervous in the paddock on the night of the trials," Leal added. "He was all business tonight. He wasn't trying to wash out or do anything like that. I knew he was going to run a great race. I could see it in his eyes."
Jensen piloted SS Paydirt and Viva Mi Corazon to victory in the trials, but in the end he stuck with the horse that carried him to victory in the aforementioned Breeders Futurity.
"SS Paydirt impressed me so much on trial night, but Viva Mi Corazon had his worst race at Los Alamitos on the night of the (Winter Derby) trials and he still finished with the second fastest qualifying time. It was hard to turn down the opportunity to ride him again. The owners (Trotter and Burnett Ranches) have been so good to me and stuck with me on this horse for the Two Million Futurity. I got on this horse only because Ricky Ramirez, who is the first call rider for the barn, had trouble with his flight on the night of Breeders Futurity trials. They'll have to pry me off this horse now."
The past month has been memorable for the veteran rider. He was awarded his first title as AQHA champion jockey on January 22, made his acting debut in a music video for artist David Benn Tyson entitled "Second Chance", and now has enjoyed a Grade 1 derby win aboard one of the most exciting sophomores in the nation.
"It's been great," Jensen said. "A lot of good things have happened recently and I cherished every one of them. To get on a big horse like Viva Mi Corazon means a lot. He gives you a chance to win every time. He's become so professional. He had that trouble at the start in the Two Million where he got bumped and then he was flying to finish second. The winner (Foose Cash SR) shook away from us at the start and we couldn't catch him. There are not a lot of races that I wish I could re-do, but the first three jumps in the Two Million with Viva Mi Corazon I wish I could do them over."
Jensen liked leaving the gate from post number one aboard Viva Mi Corazon.
"I like the edges - posts one, two, nine, 10," added the champion jockey. "The trouble factor can get minimized because you only get bumped from one side if you start from inside or outside post. If you're in post two, the one horse usually goes inside so you don't get bump from there."
As much as Viva Mi Corazon loves Los Alamitos, plans call for the strapping gelding to now travel to Texas.
"He's going to go home and rest at Trey Wood's ranch in Texas," Leal said. "He'll rest for 45 days. He's paid into the three derbies at Ruidoso Downs and also the Los Alamitos Super Derby at Los Alamitos. He'll be back for the Super Derby."
Viva Mi Corazon earned $82,572 for the win to take his career earnings to $601,241. He's won seven of 11 lifetime starts.
Trained by AQHA champion trainer Paul Jones, Kawananakoa's Spirit Leader earned $33,422 for running second. Ridden by Ramon Sanchez, the son of Corona Cartel also ran second to Viva Mi Corazon in the Winter Derby trials.
"The winner was the best horse in the race going in and he ran strong," Jones said. "I was pleased to see my horse finish second. I told Abigail that we could run third because I wasn't sure that we could beat Viva Mi Corazon or SS Paydirt. We were able to beat SS Paydirt so I'm thrilled about that."
Ridden by Ricky Ramirez, SS Paydirt had early trouble before flying to go from 10th to 3rd place. He earned $23,592 for his gritty rally.
"He stumbled first jump out of the gate," Leal said. "He worked so hard to get back to the front of the race that he just couldn't catch the second place finisher."
Ron Hartley's Moonist earned $13,762 for finishing fourth.
"We just missed third place by a nose, but we weren't going to beat Viva Mi Corazon," said Moonist's trainer, John Cooper. "(Viva Mi Corazon) can really run. You can't knock them when they run like that."
Jesus Garera Garcia's Mr Its Country Time finished fifth and was followed by Dynasty Of Habits, Moven Lannie, Energized, Ms Perry and Chalalita.
