NCVYS is calling on all children and youth organisations to
make the last weekday of February the one day every year where organisations
Stop what they are doing, Look at their safeguarding practices and Listen to
young people, empowering them to take an active role in managing their own
safety. NCVYS's national safeguarding campaign aims to inspire and encourage
children and youth organisations to show commitment to improving their
safeguarding policies and standards. Find out more.
A number of policies and procedures in our online manual have been updated. These updates will go live on 29 February 2016.
20 policies have been updated, the list includes; Underage Sexual Activity, Bullying, Agency Roles and Responsibilities, E-Safety: Children Exposed to Abuse through the Digital Media, Domestic Abuse, Suicide & Self-harm and Responding to Abuse and Neglect. The LSCB also have a new policy on Children Visiting Psychiatric Wards and Facilitates. See Procedures.
Did you know you can register for alerts for when our procedures, policies and guidance are updated? Register now.
This month the LSCB Twitter account welcomed it's 928 follower. More and more Safeguarding Boards are joining and using Twitter as a platform to convey their updates. It's great for engaging with partner agencies and staying up to date with safeguarding, both nationally and locally.
Follow us at @CumbriaLSCB.
There is currently an interim targeted youth work
arrangement from Cumbria County Council for young people aged 11 to 19 years
requiring Tier 1 Emotional Health and Well-Being support, such as young people
with issues around self-esteem; bereavement; sexual health awareness; missing
from home; alcohol and drugs awareness, CSE awareness and keeping safe.
You can email Monday
to Friday 9am to 5pm at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) is a form of sexual abuse that involves the manipulation and/or coercion of young people under the age of 18 into sexual activity.
The National Child Sexual Exploitation Awareness Day aims to highlight the issues surrounding CSE; encouraging everyone to think, spot and speak out against abuse and adopt a zero tolerance to adults developing inappropriate relationships with children or children developing inappropriate relationships with other children.
Everyone has a role to play in raising awareness of Child Sexual Exploitation.
The safeguarding of our children is everybody's business.
Any child can be sexually exploited no matter what culture, ethnicity, religion, whether a boy or a girl from any background.
Cumbria's Child Sexual Exploitation policy and procedure, which provides guidance to all practitioners and managers, has been updated and will go live on 29 February 2016.
Cumbria LSCB will be supporting the NWG Network Thunderclap to help raise awareness. More information.
As of the 29 February the Conflict Resolution Policy will be renamed as the Escalation Policy. The change of name has been made following findings from the Child M Practice Review and feedback from practitioners through the last staff survey.
The LSCBs Escalation Policy provides the process for the resolution of disputes between agencies. The document sets out the parameters for both informal and formal conflict resolution. See Procedures (and save in your favourites).
Early Help and Family Support Panels are being developed in
each area to bring key agencies in a locality together on a regular basis to
consider some of the more complex cases that sit at the Early Help Threshold.
The role of these panels will be to:
- Identify the appropriate service to initiate an Early Help Assessment (EHA) for a family where there is no EHA in place and where it is difficult to identify who is the most appropriate person to progress the assessment.
- To Step Down a family from Child in Need, Child Protection, or Youth Offending Service statutory supervision when it has been difficult to identify a service to coordinate the TAF at the point of Step Down.
- Where there is an EHA in place but progress has ceased or it has not progressed beyond the initial stage at the outset.
See the LSCB

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Pausias
PAUSIAS, a Greek painter of the 4th century, of the school of Sicyon. He introduced the custom of painting ceilings of houses. His great merit appears to have lain in the better rendering of foreshortening. The words in which Pliny (xxxv. 127) describes a bull painted by him should be quoted: "Wishing to display the length of the bull's body, he painted it from the front, not in profile, and yet fully indicated its measure. Again, while others fill in with white the highlights, and paint in black what is less salient, he painted the whole bull of dark colour, and gave substance to the shadow out of the shadow itself, with great skill making his figures stand out from a flat background, and indicating their shape when foreshortened." This passage well marks the state of painting at the time.

During the course of working with the 27-member site committee to modernize this historic campus, the testing and structural engineers concluded that two of the buildings were constructed of un-reinforced masonry. The school was immediately closed.
Taking into consideration the architectural significance of the campus to the community, BCA worked quickly with the committees, DSA, OPSC and the District and formulated two options within a three-week time frame: retrofit the two buildings or tear down and replicate. With unanimous approval from all stakeholders, BCA was directed to proceed on 140,000 square feet of new construction. Design and construction documents were completed in 10 weeks, and stamped out of DSA 6 weeks later, which allowed the District to receive additional state funding for facility hardship.
The new campus is configured in a U-shape, thereby creating an outdoor student quadrangle on campus with the focal point being an open air amphitheater. The new buildings are constructed using a structural steel frame system with the exterior skin designed with pre-cast concrete panels and brick imbeds.
The architectural concept captures the original Tudor style architecture of the 1927 school with the recreation of the main façade (including the 'drunken sailor' brick pattern). As the new building wraps around the main façade, it transitions to a more contemporary architectural expression (less detail and running bond brick patterns) while being sensitive to the original Tudor style.

On the other hand, not having the right types or amounts of insurance can be very detrimental to wealth building and enjoyment of life. How can we find the proper balance? The key is to cover only the potentially catastrophic risks we cannot completely avoid. The following types of insurance cover risks in that category:
- Auto Insurance
- Homeowners Insurance
- Umbrella Liability Insurance
- Medical Insurance
- Long Term Disability Insurance
- Long Term Care Insurance
- Life Insurance
These types of insurance are critical because uninsured losses we may experience in these areas have the potential to financially devastate us. For example, if we carried only the minimum required auto insurance liability limits and seriously injured or killed someone in a car accident, how would we pay for the vehicle damage, medical expenses, and income loss of the other driver, which could add up to hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars? How could we pay medical bills for unexpected cancer treatments, surgeries, and long-term hospital confinement if we had no medical insurance?
Many years ago I met a man in his fifties who had incurred hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills twenty years earlier because his wife had developed a serious illness at a time when they had no medical insurance. She eventually recovered physically, but he told me he does not think they will ever fully recover financially from the effects of that huge unexpected blow. He pleaded, "Make sure you always carry medical insurance for your family and tell all your clients to do the same. I severely underestimated the potential for medical bills to wipe us out financially for the rest of our lives."
If we choose not to have insurance in any of the areas listed above, we need to create a realistic plan for how we would cope if disaster struck. For example, if we choose not to acquire disability insurance, we would be foolish to say, "I do not need it because I am never going to get sick or hurt." Of course no one ever plans to get sick or hurt. It happens when we least expect it.
A realistic alternative plan might be the following: "If I cannot work because of sickness or injury, we will move in with my in-laws and use our retirement and college savings to pay for my wife to go back to school so she can earn enough to support us. We will no longer help our children pay for their college education, and we will postpone retirement for another 10-15 years beyond what we originally planned for." If we cannot think of an alternative plan that is realistic and acceptable to us and those who financially depend on us, then transferring the risk to an insurance company might be the best strategy.
In my opinion every other kind of personal insurance is optional: dental insurance, short term disability insurance, accident insurance, home warranties, extended warranties on cars and appliances, credit insurance, travel insurance, and many others. These are nice to have if someone else is paying for them, but the premiums tend to be very high for the benefits provided, and no loss in any of these areas has the potential to ruin us financially. Therefore, if we are underinsured in the essential areas but are paying for coverage in optional areas, it may be wise to terminate nonessential coverage and use the premium savings to increase critical coverage.

To obtain almost everything a typical website would require, along with enough flexibility of customization, designers need a robust foundation. In this blog, we will talk about all the amazing features Bootstrap has to offer.
Easy to get going
CSS Pre-processing is a great feature, and every front-end developer should gain knowledge of it. Not many are using it. There are still many designers creating and managing CSS files the same old way. Bootstrap offers fewer files for those who know how to use it, but it also provides the plain old CSS file for those who hesitate using CSS pre-processing.
Great grid system
Bootstrap is built on 12-column grids, layouts, and components that are responsive. Whether you need a fixed or responsive grid, it's only a matter of few changes. Offsetting and Nesting of columns is also possible in both fixed and fluid width layouts.
Another useful set of features is the responsive utility classes using which you can make a certain block of content appear or hide only on devices based on the screen sizes. Adding a class such as visible-desktop to an element will make it visible only for desktop users. There are similar levels/categories for tablets and phones.
Base styling for most HTML elements
A website has many different elements such as headings, lists, tables, buttons, forms, etc. All these fundamental HTML elements have been styled and enhanced with extensible classes.
Following are the HTML elements for which styles are provided:
Extensive list of components
Whether you need drop-down menus, pagination or alert boxes, Bootstrap has got your covered. The styling of every single element follows a consistent theme and if you know LESS, then customizing it takes just a few minutes.
Some of the pre-styled components are:
And many others
Bundled Javascript plugins
The components such as drop-down menu are made interactive with the numerous JavaScript plugins bundled in the bootstrap package.
If your project requires sliders, tabs, accordions, then you no longer have to try and test multiple plugins across the web. Adding these functionalities is just a matter of adding a few lines of code, and you are all set. With the customization option, you can also choose only certain plugins to keep the file size to a minimum.
Proper documentation
Not only does Bootstrap offer styling for almost every element a typical website or web application requires, but it also provides an excellent documentation with examples and demo that only make it easier for even someone novice.
You might be happy with your current custom CSS library, but try using Bootstrap for one project and am sure you would ask yourself how you managed all these years without it.

I do not own the right to this picture. Thank you Volkswagen.com.sg
Yeah. Didn't realize how fast these were. 292hp @ about 3,300lbs and so stable. I can say this from seeing one up close, going flat out on a very narrow windy downhill road that had me reminiscing Nurburgring runs in gran turismo. It was shocking. It also made me realize how sh*t my stock suspension is and how I will definitely benefit from some 205s on my newly installed 15x7 wheels. To be honest it had me in a bad mood. I don't like losing. I don't like it. Even keeping in mind I didn't go flat out, I didn't know the road, and my na8 isn't in the same league. Now I'm looking at coilovers and sway bars... I will get my revenge!
Anyways on to the update:
Upgraded from my factory Enkeis (15lbs) to some 10lb Advanti wheels and man do they feel better. I'd equate it to going from hiking boots to running shoes. Offset is perfect at +35. Says I need 1.2 negative camber or better to run 205/50s. I forget what I'm at and will prob get an alignment again and coilovers before new tires anyways. Also black because I've always wanted black wheels and they're gorgeous.
Also upgraded to a fully countersunk 1lb Moddiction shift knob. Coming from a regular Voodoo knob weighing in at maybe 1/3 of that, I now see the light. A properly weighted shift knob is key. It has made shifting so much more consistent and smooth. Also it is lower by about almost an inch, which I like. Plus it looks so much more sleek.
Also a thank you to Astheticsinmotion for the recommendation of a broadway rear view mirror attachment. It gives me visibility back, as with my Sparco in I can't really look behind me as I used to. You could imagine this makes parallel parking, lane changing, or even reversing out of a spot slightly nerve racking. It's a learning curve with a change in the way I drive, but Broadway's convex mirror lessens that curve. I got the 300mm, but just ordered the 270mm to compare. I'll prob give the 300mm to my gf.
That's it for now. Been busy with life things. How's Oppo. Any recommendations for budget coilovers? Or other suspension advice?

My family often despairs of the condition of my car, phone and the washing machine ( the 3 machines I use continuously everyday ) due to my lackadaisical attitude to maintenance. My sewing machine should also be included in this list and will cause me the most worry if something happens to it.
I suppose because of its delicate nature a low maintenance is suicide for a sewing machine. Since it happened to have a glitch some time back I have been reading and researching about sewing machine maintenance with a vengeance. Let me share what I learned.
As I mentioned in the title in fact it is a 3 step process to the maintenance. Do this and you maynot have to worry about anything else about the sewing machine. Just forget troubleshooting sewing machine problems I mentioned in the post. A timely maintenance schedule will drastically reduce the chances of your precious machine developing these problems
But before that some basic rules to follow in using a sewing machine
Keep the machine covered after use; do not run the machine backwards unnecessarily and learn more about the different parts of a sewing machine and how a sewing machine works before touching the machine.
Sewing Machine maintenance
A good rule to follow is to set up a cleaning and oiling session after 100 hours of use. So if you sew 3 hrs a day, after 30+ days ie once almost every 1 month – That is not too hard.
Step 1 – Maintenance
There are some precautionary measures you should be taking on a day to day basis if you want a long life for the machine.Ensure that these practices are followed on a regular basis
1. Always ( always ) cover the machine when not in use – make a pretty sewing machine cover yourself or use the bland one you got when you bought the machine or use an old scarf to cover it. Whatever you do, make sure that the machine is covered from all the dust in the air which is going to choke the life out of it in time. Keeping the machine out of sunlight is also a good idea.
2. Ensure that you are using the appropriate thread and needle for the fabric. Checkout the post on selecting the appropriate sewing machine needle for your project.
3. Do not make your machine sew fabrics which it shouldn't be – like that extra thick upholstery fabric with pleats – your home sewing machine may not be up to sewing through such thick layers. It may prove to be too much for the internal parts.
4. Ensure that the power source is good enough for the machine . Always take out the power plug from the outlet when not in use.
5 Read up the sewing machine manual cover to cover. Keep it somewhere safe preferably near your sewing machine.Checkout this post on where to download manuals if you do not have one handy.
6. Before sewing check the bobbin case always every time – the lint which inevitably lands up there can disrupt sewing in a really bad way and also build up fast.
7. Always thread the machine with the pressure foot lever in an up position.
Step 2 –Cleaning your sewing machine
Dust and lint are the most troublesome problems your sewing machine will have to endure in its whole life. The dust particles and lint from the fabric you sew which sneak inside will fill and clog the insides of your sewing machine. They will make the machine over work.
What are the tools you need for cleaning the machine
- Sewing machine manual
- Any brush ( even a make up brush would do, but a brush with bendable handles would be great; I love to use small paintbrushes for cleaning as it reaches anywhere)
- A tweezer
- A large upholstery needle or any sharp metal thingy
- A cleaning cloth or two – a scrap of cotton muslin/cheese cloth
- Small pieces of paper ( to reach thin spaces)
- Screwdriver ( small and big)
- A pipe cleaner or thin piece of fabric strip 10 inches long and 1/2 inch wide
- Optional tools – A torch light ; magnifying glass ; small vacuum cleaner ( particularly the hand held kind used to clean computers keyboard)
Do not use those small round balloon shaped brush with compressed air ( It will only push dust further inside the machine)
You need a well lit area for your cleaning. If your sewing space is cramped (like mine) bring it out to an open space with plenty of clear area to keep the parts you are going to remove from the machine (you want to miss anything)
Protect the space with an old cloth or newspaper.
Steps to cleaning
1.Switch off the machine and take the plug off the socket. Unplug the pedal from the machine.
2. Take off the bobbin and if there is a bobbin case that one too. Take off the needle. Do not replace needle. Just remove the needle.
Learn about the various parts of the sewing machine in this post.
You can remove the throat plate, bobbin case and whatever else you could. But ensure that you keep everything in order. It is a disaster if you forget where everything was. Do not remove anything that you feel you wouldn't be able to put back. I would take photos of before and after all the time I am doing it. I never rely on my memory for these hardware matters.
( Every expert recommends that you change the sewing machine needle after atleast 15 hours of usage. Some even change them after every project or after 4 hours of use. Once a month can be a good time to change the needle if you are not an always-at-the-sewing-machine girl.)
3.Clean the whole machine off lint and dust with the tools you have. Attack all the dirt inside and get it outside. If you have a handheld vacuum use it to suck up all the loosened dirt.Hope you would not find as much dirt as I did.
Use the brush to get the dust off. Use the needle to pry lint off the machine. Use paper pieces on tight thin spaces . Use the cleaning cloth to scrub the dirt off ; Use tweezers to pick up lint and loose threads from inside the machine. Use the pipe cleaner or fabric strip to clean spaces between the tension disc and threader.
Main areas to clean are – near Needle bar , Under the needle plate ; if possible remove the top cover and clean there
I found this wonderful video doing everything that I would be doing
Step 3 – Oiling the sewing machine
Check your manual for this and do whatever is appropriate for your machine. If your manual says no oiling oil at your own risk. For my machine the manual donot mention oiling at all and manufacturer says donot oil but I do oil and I think my machine works better with it.
The dealer where you got the machine or a sewing machine retailer near your place will have the necessary oil for you. Donot use cooking oil or hair oil – I forbid you.
A little bit of oil to the machine parts is going to avoid a lot of sewing machine problems at a later date, like moisturizing your skin.But make sure that you do not put too much oil. A drop from the nozzle will be enough. I drop this small drop on the underside of the shuttle hook. Then turn the hand wheel so that the oil is spread throughout. ( I don't oil anywhere else but if you have a sewing manual which tells you to oil, that manual will also tell you the spots where you should drop the oil)
Sew with some scraps after you have oiled and you can avoid getting those oil stains on the clothes you will be sewing.
After I have cleaned and oiled, I usually use a fresh cloth to wipe the outside of the machine. Then I will change the needle. Return all the parts and screw everything up. Turn the hand needle and see everything working as it should be. Plug it back. Stitch on a scrap of cloth to see that tension and pressure are alright. If not adjust as needed. Cover it back till the next sewing session.
Every year you should be taking the sewing machine back to the manufacturer's service center for a whole service it deserves for the work it has been doing for you.
If your machine shows any problems checkout this post for a possible solution.

Koreans commit a sex crime against teenagers every hourAugust 29th, 2014 . by Errol
The number of teenage victims of sex crimes went from 7,893 in 2011 to 8,808 in 2012 and 9,721 in 2013, according to police data revealed by Rep. Lee Cheol-woo of the Saenuri Party. Most victims were female, but the number of male victims was 506, marking a 75 percent increase from two years earlier.
"Considering that most teenage victims are reluctant to report such incidents to the authorities, it can be assumed that the problem (of sexual abuse among teens) is even graver than the numbers suggest," Rep. Lee said.
Many of the sex crimes in schools are not properly dealt with, due to the victims' unwillingness to report the case or lenient punishment of perpetrators.
In 2012, an elementary school teacher in Incheon was found to have physically and sexually abused his second-grade students. The case prompted public furor when it was revealed that the school asked the parents to settle the case amicably, saying the male teacher could not work at another school if they declined its request.

HA NOI (VNS) — Pope Francis and the Vatican have expressed their desire to further enhance bilateral ties with Viet Nam.
Under-Secretary for Relations with States Antoine Camilleri affirmed this at a reception held for him by Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh in the capital city yesterday.
Minh highlighted the State and Government of Viet Nam's consistent application of the policy to respect and safeguard people's rights to religion and religious freedom, as well as to support religions, including that of Roman Catholics.
He proposed that the Vatican continue to encourage Viet Nam's Catholic community to follow the State's policies and actively participate in the process of nation-building and national defence.
Camilleri said he was impressed by the religious practices he had observed at the Vietnamese localities he visited. He also expressed gratitude to Vietnamese authorities for their continuing support for the Vietnamese Catholic Church.
The Under-Secretary is attending the fifth meeting of the Viet Nam-Vatican Joint Working Group here on September 10 and 11. — VNS

We are a community of 3 sisters situated inside of Saint Vincent de Paul Center in Tanjombato which is the poorest district of Antananarivo (capital of Madagascar). The Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent of Paul have been in Tanjombato since 1971.
Our Project:
Our goal is to develop nutritional intake for people suffered physiological distress. The Daughters of Clarity assist these people in need and they would like to develop quail breeding.
The project will have direct benefits for our Social Center attending. People who are involved are:
In view of the scale of the issue, the lack of food safety is important in Madagascar, we couldn't help all people in need. However, the breeding of quails will give an important amount of proteins for kids and teenagers growths. The older persons and families need more balanced nutrition. This project will offer a job to the Manager of the breeding.
Why a quail breeding?
The quail is a highly prolific bird. The bird starts to lay eggs at 6 weeks and we can expect 200 to 300 quail eggs per year.
The quail doesn't lay its eggs every day but the egg-laying can provide 10 to 12 eggs. Quail eggs are relatively smaller (the weight for one egg is around 10 grams) in comparison to chicken eggs, but they still provide the same number of health benefits and they are rich food in protein.
After one year the quail can be consumed. The new breeding could be settled and it will find a future for this project. The egg quails selling will help the Center to be able to fund itself with one staff hired full time.
One of our growth strategies is starting the breeding with 500 quails (350 females and 150 males) we could reach the number of 1 500 quails after 3 business years.
The cost of the Project:
The setting up of the project we have estimated a budget of € 3 540. This amount will help us to renovate the space for the breeding and we could buy 500 quails and food for the starting of the breeding. We could also hire a full time Manager.
We thank you in advance for your generous support

I took a video on my iPhone 4S upside down. I searched around the Internet and found a post stating that Apple's QuickTime Pro can losslessly rotate/flip videos. First of all, is this definitely the case? My problems would be irrelevant if there were other programs that would be able to flip my video's orientation while keeping 99.99% of the quality.
If QuickTime Pro is the only/best program to use for this purpose, why is the video portion of the file not showing up? When I play the video in QuickTime, I view a black rectangle taking up the entire resolution of the video and I am able to hear the video's audio.

Starring: Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Anthony Mackie, John Slattery,
Shohreh Aghdashloo, Michael Kelly & Terence Stamp
Directed by George Nolfi for distribution by Universal
The Plot: A aspiring politician (Damon) decides to challenge what fate has in store for him when he goes after the love of his life (Blunt), but soon finds himself the target of a mysterious group of men charged with keeping order in the universe.
The Final Word: Based on a short story by Phillip K. Dick, the man credited with "Total Recall" and "Blade Runner," "Bureau" asks the question "can we change our own fate?" Ironically that is also the question Damon could have been asking himself after seeing his 2010 films "Green Zone" and "Hereafter" under-perform. Although among major tent-pole releases, his track record is remarkably solid and with "The Bourne Ultimatum" scribe, George Nolfi making his directorial debut, Damon looks likely to re-capture the magic of the Bourne trilogy.
Starring: Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer, Mary-Kate Olsen,
Neil Patrick Harris & Peter Krause
Directed by Daniel Barnz for distribution by CBS Films
The Plot: A modern day re-telling of the classic "Beauty & the Beast" tale which focuses on a spoiled rich kid (Pettyfer) robbed of his good looks by a Goth girl (Olsen) he savagely spurned.
The Final Word: The story of "Beauty & the Beast" and the story of CBS Films are both widely known by this point. "Beauty & the Beast" is a classic tale of two people trying to overcome a number of obstacles in the name of love and CBS Films is a classic tale of a studio trying overcome a slate of dismal box office performers in the name of business. Except we all know "Beauty" tends to have a happy ending. CBS Films really doesn't seem to know what to do with this film. Similarly as to how the Beast was banished to his castle, "Beastly" was banished from its first release date following the failure of CBS Films' first two releases. I'm not even sure the drawing power of Neil Patrick Harris or rising star Alex Pettyfer will be able to help this movie survive its crowded release date. Although the thing people tend to forget about CBS Films is that every one of its movies by design have a small budget (by Hollywood standards) and at the end of the day they do tend to re-coup their money. The problem is that CBS is a victim of its own success. People of course associate the studio with the network and for the network to be as successful as it is and not have the studio mimic that profitability raises a few red flags. Then again perception isn't always reality, despite what certain people foolishly believe.
Starring (voices): Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin,
Bill Nighy, Stephen Root, Ray Winstone, Beth Grant,
Ned Beatty, Harry Dean Stanton & Alfred Molina
Directed by Gore Verbinski for distribution by Paramount
The Plot: A chameleon (Depp) who daydreams about being a hero suddenly finds himself in that role when he becomes a small town's only hope against bandits.
The Final Word: Gore Verbinski, known for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy, steps into the world of animated 3D for the first time, with his friend "Pirates" star Johnny Depp accompanying him. The versatile director is also taking his first stab at writing for a full-length motion picture. All of those details combined give "Rango" and Paramount a great chance of success at the box office. With Verbinski not returning to the helm of the "Pirates" franchise, this movie may the only chance audiences will get to see him and Depp re-unite on the big screen for a little while.
Starring: Topher Grace, Anna Faris, Dan Fogler, Teresa Palmer, Chris Pratt,
Michelle Trachtenberg, Lucy Punch, Michael Ian Black & Demetri Martin
Directed by Michael Dowse for distribution by Relativity Media
The Plot: A recent MIT graduate (Grace) decides to throw away the future everybody wants for him and go his own way, until he meets the girl of his dreams (Palmer) and realizes an upcoming end of summer bash may be his only chance to impress her.
The Final Word: We've seen this scenario a thousand times before where a group of teens or twenty-somethings believe they can change their lives at one major (generally milestone related) party. Although studios keep making them because if done right they tend to do well at the box office, but unfortunately more often than not most fail. This one is intriguing because it has a solid cast of rising stars, a fun trailer and a great catalogue of 80's hits at its disposal. Relativity can't be expecting to make a huge profit off of this one, but at least it seems to have a decent shot at success.
Previewed next week: Battle: Los Angeles, Mars Needs Moms, Red Riding Hood

Jan 12 was officially the 90th day for me. To be honest, I didn't follow first 90 days to the extent I imagined – with a timeline etc. But certainly there were some key things that I leveraged which proved useful.
- Promote yourself – it is not to go around with tantrums but to actually imagine yourself in the changed job/role for one or two days before the switch
- Build network – understand people as much as the new processes and tools.
- Build learning agenda/plan – I think this is one area which has helped me immensely. In what could have been a case of drinking from a fire-hose, I now feel very comfortable with the new setup.
- Securing early wins – not necessarily a big win – but what I like to describe as "moments of truth". In a relationship role this would be credibility building. Performing value-creation activities and communicating an image consistently. If the image involves few values – these moments of truths should highlight them.
I will leave you all with a final insight – Shut the doors!
Shut the doors on other options – the biggest deterrent to success is doubts, allowing buyer's remorse to build and loosing focus on job-at-hand. It is related to what Watkins says as "promoting yourself". I will say after 'promoting yourself', stay there. Especially for next 30 days, do not keep "testing" – any testing on whether it is the right job/role should be before joining! You will give yourself a best chance to succeed if you "accept" the change completely and put your wholehearted effort. You will find a similar point in "trust your boss".
I can describe what I am saying above in an "emotions" curve.
The Emotions Curve [I preferred to embed – but couldn't get it soon enough. Don't have the time, for now, to figure out which widget/plug-in/codex to use. Please bear with me and click this link.]
This is so true for first job after MBA. The problem with the first cycle is that you will never know if the job was alright or not. This is no survey of all MBA pass-outs. Just, my honest observation from people I have interacted with. Please note the y-axis is not "success scale". It's an engagement scale. Staying involved doesn't mean success and vice versa too. Also, engagement depends on multiple factors – some of which you can, and some of which you can not, influence. Going through emotions curve-2 is one of the things you can control.
The First 90 Days and the series end here! A lot of you, my friends, followers and mentors, have been encouraging me consistently and have liked/followed this series. My sincere thanks to all of you – only because of you I feel a lot energized everyday I write about this series.
The entire series:
(1) First 90 days – prelude; This is about strategies for leaders in new roles/jobs.
(2) First 90 Days Insight-1: Trust your boss
(3) First 90 Days Insight-2: Be Sympathetic
(4) First 90 Days Insight-3: Be Decisive
(5) First 90 Days Insight-4: Where to?
(6) First 90 Days Insight-5: Shut the doors & Conclusion.


text: Google for lawyers: Beyond the search engine January 17, 2008 Janet Ellen Raasch Xerox, Rollerblades and Kleenex have become synonymous with copy machines, inline skates and tissues. Similarly, "Google" has become synonymous with "Internet search." The verb "to Google" was officially added to mainstream dictionaries in 2006. This makes it all the more difficult for many people to think about Google in capacities other than search. However, in recent years, Google has built upon its international network of data centers to supplement its search offerings with a wide range of online (rather than desktop) software applications. Most significantly for lawyers and law firms, Google has introduced a package of free online enterprise software – meant to compete with Microsoft Office – called Google Apps. The suite includes Control Panel, Start Page, Page Creator, Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, and Google Docs. Control Panel. The Control Panel lets the Google Apps system administrator add, modify and remove user accounts, manage domain settings, add or delete services, create Web pages and customize the look of the site by adding a firm's name and logo. Start Page. The Start Page is a personalized start page that provides access to private, firm and public information – in addition to the Google Apps tools – all from one screen. Page Creator. The Page Creator provides tools to create and publish Web pages using templates – which can be hosted on Google servers or some other server. It automatically creates mobile versions of the Web pages, optimized for the small-screen. Gmail. Gmail enables users to send and organize email, contacts and integrated chat (instant messaging). By using distribution lists, law firms can send emails – like newsletters – to a large number of recipients concurrently. With Google Alerts, a user can use Gmail or another mail program to automatically search for email updates on specific topics – and have them delivered to the desktop or mobile device. A lawyer can use this tool like a clipping service – to track any online mentions of his or her name, firm name, or client or case name. Google Talk. Google Talk is Google's instant messaging service. Users can also make free voice calls around the world over the Internet as long as they have a microphone and a speaker (or combination headset) and an Internet connection. Google Calendar. Google Calendar is a searchable and sharable calendar application with a simple interface. Users can control language, country, time zone, date format, time format, start day of the week, custom view, Celsius or Fahrenheit, whether to show declined events, and whether to automatically add invitations to the calendar. Google Docs. Google Docs is a Web-based word processing, spreadsheet and presentation application. Files can be created within the application itself, imported through the Web interface or sent via email. Although files are saved by default to Google's servers, they also can be saved to the user's computer or network in a variety of formats. What is unique about Google Docs is its ability to let others edit a document concurrently and let others view the document via a hyperlink. When a lawyer wants to let others view or edit a document, he or she can invite them to be online viewers or collaborators. Google Apps is free for a limitless number of users and includes more than 6 GB of email storage for each account. Although Microsoft does not publish volume licensing prices for the Enterprise Edition of Office 2007, analysts estimate that they typical enterprise customer pays between $150 and $200 per employee for Office and Outlook together. Off the shelf at an office supply store, Office 2007 costs close to $500 per copy. How does Google provide Google Apps and its other software products for free? The sites all include advertising. (Ninety-nine percent of Google's revenue is based on advertising.) There is generally an additional cost for an ad-free product. In 2007, Google launched Google Apps Premier Edition, which costs $50 (U.S.) per account. Users receive 25 GB of email storage for each account, no advertising, round-the-clock phone support and service-level agreements promising 99.9 per cent uptime on the server. Google Apps is not a feature-rich as Office 2007, but it is a simple, convenient and inexpensive alternative. It has most of the features that a small or medium-sized law firm needs for efficient day-to-day operations. It is accessible anywhere, any time with an Internet connection. By choosing an Internet rather than a desktop platform, law firms can save money on servers, maintenance and technical support staff. This is an especially attractive option for small or mid-sized law firms with minimal IT infrastructure. Because the software is hosted on the vast Google network of servers, it is updated constantly by Google. On the downside, Google Apps in not accessible when a firm's Internet connection is down – or when a device is outside a Wi-Fi area, like on an airplane with no Internet service. Google is currently working on a way to solve this problem. In addition, law firms must consider the unique regulations that control the storage, transfer and privacy of their data. When Google Apps first came out, there were significant concerns about Internet-borne privacy and security issues. In September 2007, these concerns were addressed when Google acquired Postini, an online software provider focused on the security of electronic communications – email, instant message and the Web. Other free online software programs recently launched by Google that might be of use to lawyers and law firms in their daily operations and business development include: Google Earth is an online interactive mapping program that combines Google Search with satellite imagery, maps, terrain and 3D buildings. Picasa is a downloadable photo organization and editing application. SketchUp is a 3D sketching program that integrates with Google Earth. Translate is Google's translation service. Google Desktop can be downloaded and used to perform search through all the files and folders on the hard drive of a personal computer or other computers on a network – including e-mails. Blogger can be used to create and host a blog. YouTube is recognized as a popular video platform. Google purchased it in 2006. Reader is an RSS feed aggregator. Orkut is an online social networking tool. Group can be used to create issue-oriented online groups and mailing lists. JotSpot can be used to create online wikis. It was acquired by Google in 2007. Many experts believe that it is only a matter of time before all software will be delivered over the Internet instead of on the desktop. Google gives us a good idea what this platform will look like – and which issues law firms will need to consider before making the switch. Janet Ellen Raasch is a writer and ghostwriter who works closely with lawyers, law firms and other professional services providers – to help them achieve name recognition and new business through publication of articles and books for print and rich content for the Internet. She can be reached at (303) 399-5041 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Introduction: Cloud Control | an Air Quality System Using the Intel Edison
Our project focuses on improving the availability and quality of air pollution measurements.
Step 1: Collect Your Hardware
Firstly you need to get hold of a Intel Edison, since this is the base of the entire product. Secondly you need a variety of sensors to measure the surroundings.
- A dust sensor to measure the amount of dust in the air ( we went for the groove dust sensor )
- A temperature sensor (we went for the groove v1.2)
- A sound level sensor to measure the general sound level ( we went for the groove sound sensor)
- A gas sensor to detect harmful gasses (we went for the groove gas sensor MQ-9)
you will also need a arduino breakout board and a gpio breakout board to connect these sensors to the edison . Lastly you need a groove rgb screen.
Step 2: Assembling the Hardware
Of course you will need to assemble the hardware that's what we will discuss in this step. Firstly you will need to place the edison on the arduino board. On witch you will place the additional breakboard. To this you will attach the sensors. The temperature, sound and gas sensors need to be attached to some of the analog pins. The dust sensor needs to be attached to digital pin 8 because it needs some special features that only that port has. The screen needs to be connected to an I2C port. That's it just the programming left!
Step 3: Program the Edision
To program the eddison you will use C++ and the special intel IoT version of eclipse. You will have to use the mraa and upm headers. this will give you the ability to control all of the sensors and the screen.
You can then readout the sensors and display them at the screen.
you can find our code at github.com/FloboAvans/Cloud-Control
Step 4: Use the Cloud
In order to become a fully fledged IoT product you will need to connect to the internet and that's what this stage is all about. The process is actually very simple. Firstly you setup a IoT Analysis account at enableiot.com. There you can also find instructions on how to send your data to there services.

Cool Edison project.

About Us
Terms of Use
© 2015-2016 Nanobash
Sign Up
A community for thoughts, ideas, and discussion. Most websites focused on communities were built or are based off of design standards from 10 years ago. Our goal at Nanobash is to redefine the way communities are used online and rethink how they should be built.
What should I post?
Anything that follows our standards policy outlined here. Interesting and compelling posts will rise to the top through our voting system while bad posts will remain hidden for the majority of users. We allow link, image, and text posts (or any combination of the three!), feel free to post anything you think the community would find valuable.
What makes this site different than all the others?
There used to be a time we here at Nanobash browsed news aggregators and forums all day. Today we struggle to find any content that can hold our interest for more than a few minutes at a time. Our goal is to give users higher quality content that is more connected to their direct interests.
How do you plan to do that?
We're slowly developing a large amount of features which should accomplish this including.
Sub categories for different interests
Discovery tool for organizing communities you are apart of (Easy to find new active communities you are interested in and organize the content in a way that's easy for you to digest)
Unique features for communities with different needs (Polls, Layout, Chat Rooms, Etc…)
Rankings that let active users show off their contribution to the site and their communities
And much much more!
How do you plan on running this site?
We want to leave the entire site primarily user controlled. We will actively ask what features you guys are interested in and develop solutions for them. Instead of guessing what may or may not be useful for you we would prefer to have our design decisions come from users who are actively engaged in Nanobash.
What are your views on privacy, allowed content, etc..?
We will use the collected data from usage to help improve user experience, but never anything beyond that. All types of content are allowed as it is not harmful to others (Personal Information or Inciting Violence against a group/individual) and not illegal to host in the US. Basically we will not screw you over (We want to make Nanobash a long term success, short sighted policies against our users would hurt this).
What should I do?
Use the site and enjoy! Keeping the front page full of high quality content and comments helps us tremendously. If you are interested in doing more you can contact us directly at firstname.lastname@example.com or look at the bottom right hand part of the screen to talk directly with us with your criticism, praise, and ideas!

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Samford's Nick Williams became the fifth Bulldog to get drafted in the NFL and the second over the past two years when the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him in the seventh round on Saturday.
Late-round draft picks can sometimes be classified as "reaches," and that's some sentiment around Pittsburgh.
"He doesn't have much experience and is as big a reach as the Steelers have made in the seventh round for a lineman since perhaps a guy named Brett Keisel," wrote the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Williams played just one year of high school football, but came into his own during his last two years at Samford, earning all-conference honors and helping lead Samford to a 7-4 record as a senior.
Williams' measurables and skill earned him a trip to the NFL Scouting Combine. It also grabbed the attention of Steelers defensive line coach John Mitchell.
"You don't get guys that are 6-4 and 320 pounds that can run and look like a guy who is 310," Mitchell said.
Here is a recap of what Mitchell said about Williams on the Steelers official website. The link also has audio of Williams' conference call with media.
Coach Mitchell: Nicholas Williams is a young man from Birmingham, Alabama. He went to Samford University right there. Samford is a little liberal arts college right there in Birmingham. This guy was a heck of a basketball player coming out of high school. He only played one year of football. Pat Sullivan, the ex-Heisman trophy winner, is the head football coach there. Pat Sullivan knew his father, and they asked him to go look at his son. As a basketball player, they looked at him. He went to Samford because the guy had good size coming out of high school, and they signed him. He is a young guy. He is not going to come in here and replace anybody. He is probably not going to play. He is a project. But you can't get guys that are 6'4" 320 pounds that can run and look like a guy that is 310 pounds. I like this guy. He didn't dominate right there in Samford. He only started two years there, but I think his football is ahead of him rather than behind him.
Where will he play?
He is going to be a defensive end.
Have you heard of him before?
Yes, Pat Sullivan had talked to me about this kid for about the last year. I am very close with Pat. He is a guy that we have had our eye on for a good while.
Is it almost easier since he is so raw to teach him your three-four without having to unlearn other things?
I don't care what scheme he played in college. When he comes here he is going to do it the Steelers way. He is going to do it the way we want so it doesn't make any difference to me what he did in college. No matter if he was a first round draft choice, they are going to do it our way.
Did you say he is 320 pounds?
He's 320 pounds. When you look at him you are going to think he is about 310. When I was there back in early March he was 317 and he has been as high as 320. He carries his weight very well. This guy was a heck of a basketball player coming out of high school.
He just played one year of football?
One year in high school. He was a starter at Samford for two years. If you watch him on tape you won't get very excited about him. But if you look at him and you look at the potential that he has, he reminds me of when we signed Steve McLendon here. He's a guy that a lot of you guys didn't think would ever play here. He stayed here in this program and he did it our way. He is going to have a chance to be a good football player.
He's 6'4", 320 pounds?
Yes. He's probably 317. He's lost a little weight, but I would say he's 317.
Does Nicholas Williams know that he won't play this year?
Yes, he knows that. This guy wants to come somewhere where he will have the opportunity to play down the road. He knows that he only played one year of high school football and Samford is a small university where he started two years. He's excited about having the chance to play pro football in an organization like the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Was Williams at the combine?
Yes. He was at the combine.
Is he the kind of guy who you wanted to take in the seventh round?
What you have to look at as a coach is I don't know how many guys you're going to get next year in the seventh round that are going to be 6'4", 320 that can run. You go back, we took Brett Keisel in the seventh round. Brett Keisel was not 320. Here's a guy that can run. He came here, he played on the special team and when he got a chance to play, he picked up our scheme, did well, the rest is history. I look at this guy, he knows he's not going to play. He's a guy that I like. I think with some coaching, being around other good football players, he's smart enough. Samford is a smart school academically, he's already graduated. I think this guy has tremendous upside. I'm excited about him.

Brian T. Atkinson was an inexperienced freelancer when he hatched the notion of writing a book about Townes Van Zandt's influence as a songwriter. Without a track record, it took the former Denver resident years just to build up enough cred to get the interviews he wanted.
Atkinson spent nearly a decade of doggedly pursuing the veterans who knew his troubled hero, as well as younger-generation singer-songwriters whose work is informed by the late Texas troubadour. A labor of love, I'll Be Here in the Morning: The Songwriting Legacy of Townes Van Zandt was finally published in late November. The Texas A&M University Press tome is filled with anecdotes and testimonials by giants like Kris Kristofferson, Guy Clark, Rodney Crowell, Lucinda Williams, Billy Joe Shaver and Lyle Lovett, along with newer acolytes like My Morning Jacket's Jim James, the Avett Brothers' Scott Avett, Kasey Chambers and Hayes Carll.
It was Carll's New Year's Day, 2003, performance at the sixth annual Townes wake in Galveston, Texas, that inspired the project. Coincidentally, it was also Atkinson's first magazine assignment, for No Depression.
"Townes, to me, he's just absolutely singular," Atkinson says, locking his startlingly blue eyes on his interviewer. "There are people like Paul Simon and Guy Clark and Steve Earle and James Taylor who are at that pinnacle. I just know I can't put him with anyone else."
Van Zandt, the writer of such classics as "Pancho & Lefty," "If I Needed You" and "Snowin' on Raton," died on New Year's Day, 1997, from a post-hip-surgery blood clot. But alcoholism and drug addiction had devastated his body long before that. Atkinson, who also wrote for Denver's 5280 and edited the Limon Leader, doesn't delve deeply into Van Zandt's history or psyche, however.
"I didn't think it was my right to get into his brain," he explains. "I was interested in the drinking only as to its relationship to the music. I wanted songwriters to say it, not me."
And many do, describing in tragicomic detail their experiences with a revered wordsmith even Bob Dylan sought out, yet who was notoriously bad at managing life.
Though Atkinson never got to interview Dylan — or Willie Nelson or Steve Earle, two of Van Zandt's biggest cheerleaders — he says that turned out to be beneficial since it allowed him to include more next-generation artists. And to jump when serendipity called, as was the case with Shawn Camp, a hit songwriter and Clark's sideman.
Not only did Camp contribute valuable insights, he also hooked Atkinson up with a previously elusive Cowboy Jack Clement for the book's forward. (Denver artist Sean Tracey contributed the Townes sketch on the back cover.)
Atkinson, who moved to Austin in 2005, still misses Colorado and environs. He says he spent a good deal of his free time in "the Springs" and would also drive down to Santa Fe.
"The most transcendent, perfect thing in this world is driving through Raton Pass, New Mexico, listening to Townes singing 'Snowin' on Raton.' I would slow down to about 20 miles per hour and piss off the truck drivers, just so I could play it at least twice while driving through town," he says.
The truckers may have hated him, but Townes most likely would have appreciated that.

The Difference Between Longboards and Shortboards
Skateboarding is a sport that has evolved in several ways. When it started, it was mostly done in empty pools and parks. Once grinding became more common, more skaters started hitting the streets and taking on hand rails and other city-built features. And lastly, when surf culture collided with skateboarding, the long board was bred. Below is a breakdown of what makes longboarding and shortboarding two completely different styles of skateboarding.
When skateboarding was invented, the boards were just about in their shortest state. In those days, spinning around like a ballerina on a tiny board was how most competitors earned themselves recognition. When the Dogtown and Bones Brigade days came about, things got more technical and you started to see flip tricks and grinds. Ironically, the boards started to get longer throughout this period; but they came to a halt at a size that was rideable and flippable, which is now how most modern skateboards are shaped.
Longboarding became a thing when surfers saw what their friends were doing on the concrete, and wanted to find a compromise that was more reminiscent of cruising a wave than carving a half pipe. Longboards are not only longer than shortboards, but they also have bigger wheels and trucks in order to ride over pebbles, cracks in cement and other potential hazards. Longboarders can go incredibly fast down mountain roads, or they can simply use their board as a commuting vehicle that provides an easy and healthy ride around town.

FDA approved Bijuva (TherapeuticsMD), the first bioidentical oral hormone combination of estradiol and progesterone (1-mg/100-mg capsule) to treat moderate to severe hot flashes in women with a uterus.
Approval was based on the Phase III Replenish Trial, in which Bijuva demonstrated a statistically significant reduction from baseline in both the frequency and severity of hot flashes compared with placebo, while reducing the risks to the endometrium.
The most common adverse reactions (≥3%) were breast tenderness, headache, vaginal bleeding, vaginal discharge, and pelvic pain. No clinically significant changes were found in lipid, coagulation, or glucose parameters compared with placebo, and no unexpected safety signals were noted.
The recommended dosage is one tablet orally each evening with food.
Bijuva comes with a boxed warning; see the prescribing information for more information.
The drug will be available in the United States in the second quarter of 2019.

The ink wasn't even dry on the Kentucky Derby charts and already there was trash talk leading up to the next jewel of Thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown.
Chief "talkers" were Bobby Frankel and Jerry Bailey - the trainer and rider of Empire Maker, the Derby favorite who was unable to get past Funny Cide in the stretch run of Saturday's 129th Run for the Roses and finished second.
Funny Cide, who was second to Empire Maker in the Wood Memorial, easily held his rival at bay in the big race, winning by 1 3/4 length. Another Frankel trainee, Peace Rules, who beat Funny Cide in the Louisiana Derby, finished third in the Kentucky Derby.
Funny Cide became the first New York-bred to win the Kentucky Derby and the first gelding to win the race since Clyde Van Dusen in 1929.
Frankel, who has never won any Triple Crown race, accepted the outcome but not what it seemed to imply. "I still think he (Empire Maker) is a better horse than that other horse," he said, referring to Funny Cide. "But that doesn't change what happened."
So, if Empire Maker is better than Funny Cide, what happed at Churchill Downs? Bailey provided an explanation.
"I'm going to get criticized for this, I'm sure. But I still think that my horse is much better than those other two," referring to Funny Cide and Peace Rules. "But that doesn't matter at all today. He didn't exactly struggle with the race track. But he had to work harder today to get over it," Bailey said.
Funny Cide's trainer, Barclay Tagg, said he definitely will give his colt a chance at the elusive Triple Crown. "I don't know how I will train him for it," Tagg said. "I will have to do that kind of by feel. We'll see how he is day by day."
Ironically, Frankel indicated he might not give Empire Maker a chance to redeem himself in the May 17 Preakness at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. "I think I'll run Peace Rules in the Preakness," he said. "The other horse (Empire Maker) - no. I don't know what I'll do with him next."
Frankel has been known to change his mind about these things. After Empire Maker's dominant win in the Florida Derby, he initially said he planned to train the colt up to the Kentucky Derby. Instead, he started him in the Wood. And the Maryland Jockey Club Sunday listed Empire Maker as a Preakness contender.
Others coming out of the Derby with a chance to go to the Preakness are Eye of the Tiger (fifth in the Derby), Buddy Gil (sixth), Domestic Dispute (10th), Scrimshaw (11th), and Indian Express (15th with a troubled trip). Derby Trial winner Midas Eyes also is expected at Pimlico.
As usual, the Derby overshadowed some great racing leading up to it. Among the stakes races at Churchill Downs during Derby week:
--Honor In War, a longshot who had never won a major stakes event, upset the $400,000 Woodford Reserve Turf Classic with a classic stretch run under jockey David Flores. The 4-year-old son of Lord at War, trained by local conditioner Paul McGee, romped past a good field of grass runners in a final time of 1:46.67. Requete was second and Patrol, the early leader, finished third. With Anticipation, making his first start since finishing second in last year's Breeders' Cup Turf at Arlington Park, finished fifth Saturday.
--Aldebaran was sent off as the heavy favorite in the $200,000 Churchill Downs Handicap and justified the confidence. After racing well back early, the 5-year-old Mr. Prospector horse rallied on the outside to win going away by 2 ½ lengths over Pass Rush. Cappuchino was third. Aldebaran ran 7 furlongs in 1:21.80.
--In the $100,000 Three Chimneys Juvenile, the first 2-year-old stakes event of the Kentucky racing year, Limehouse found running room on the rail and went through to win by 1 ¼ length over pace-setting longshot El Sysco Kid. East Bay was third and the favorite, Heckle, was a dull fourth. Limehouse, a Florida-bred son of Grand Slam, ran the 5 furlongs in 57.47 seconds, just a tick off the track record.
--Heat Haze rallied from last at the start to win the $100,000 Citgo Distaff Turf Mile by 1 ½ lengths over Quick Tip. Sentimental Value was third. Heat Haze, with Jose Valdiva Jr. up, ran 1 mile over firm turf in 1:33.96. She is a British-bred, 4-year-old daughter of Green Desert. Bobby Frankel continued his tour de force weekend by saddling Heat Haze.
--One race later, Frankel continued his dominance of Derby week by saddling Sightseek to an easy, 4 ½-length win in the $200,000 Humana Distaff. The 4-year-old daughter of Distant View rallied from mid-pack under Jerry Bailey, split horses in mid-stretch and was clearly the best. Gold Mover edged Miss Lodi for second. The 7 furlongs went in 1:22.12.
--Bird Town, an 18-1 outsider, stumbled at the start of the $500,000 Kentucky Oaks but then put in a furious run in the stretch to get home first, 3 ¼ lengths ahead of Santa Catarina. Bird Town, with Edgar Prado riding, was well back when the field passed the finish line for the first time, led by 5-2 favorite Elloluv. But as Elloluv led through stakes-record times at each call, Prado got his filly moving. At the top of the stretch, Santa Catarina moved to the lead and appeared to have every chance to win. But when Prado put Bird Town to the drive, she went by willingly and drew clear. Prado said trainer Nick Zito "told me to get a good position going into the first turn and save something for the end. Unfortunately, none of that happened." Prado said he was fortunate to stay aboard when Bird Town stumbled at the start but did not lose faith and his filly kept to the task until he could get her into position to make her winning move.
-- Bob and Beverly Lewis got a consolation prize when the Kentucky Derby colt that trainer Bob Baffert bought for them, Senor Swinger, instead rallied from mid-pack to win the $100,000 Crown Royal American Turf by 2 ½ lengths over Remind. Foufa's Warrior was third. Senor Swinger, a son of El Prado, wasn't good enough to make it to the Derby but ran the 1 1/16 mile on the green course in a classy 1:41.38 with Pat Day aboard.
--You battled hammer and tongs with longshot Fly Borboleta to the top of the stretch in the $300,000 Louisville Breeders' Cup Handicap, then brushed off that rival and took charge, winning by 7 ¾ lengths. Fly Borboleta held second, with Seven Four Seven third. You, a 4-year-old daughter of You and I, ran 1 1/16 mile under Jerry Bailey in 1:43.21.
-- In the $100,000 Edgewood Stakes for 3-year-old fillies, Forest Shadows came from well back in the field to catch Unbridled Femme at the wire, winning by a neck. Ebony Breeze was just another neck back in third. Forest Shadows, a Woodman filly, ran 1 mile on firm turf in 1:35.35.
--And in the Aegon Turf Sprint, Fiscally Speaking, at 47-1, ran down the leaders on the outside in the final sixteenth to win by a head over Morluc, with Testify third. Fiscally Speaking, a 4-year-old son of Belong to Me, finished in 56.01 seconds with Jon Court providing the well-timed ride.
--Final Round rolled from off the pace to win the $100,000 La Troienne for 3-year-old fillies by 1 length over Lovely Sage, finishing 7 furlongs in 1:22.13. Jerry Bailey inherited the mount from Pat Day, who was resting his bad back.
-- Full Spectrum took charge at mid-stretch in the $100,000 Mamzelle Stakes for fillies and mares and drew clear to win by 2 ¾ lengths over Senorita Ziggy. Full Spectrum, a 4-year-old daughter of Broad Brush, had Calvin Borel in the irons.
In other weekend racing:
While Funny Cide was boosting the stock of New York-breds at Churchill Downs, Spite the Devil was the best of the 3-year-olds left in New York for Saturday's $150,000 Withers Stakes. Also bred in the Empire State, the Devil His Due colt overcame a stumble at the start, some bumping and a bit of a traffic jam to just get up at the wire and win by a neck over Alysweep. Stanislavsky was third and the favorite, Halo Homewrecker, faded through the stretch to finish sixth. Spite the Devil ran 1 mile on a fast track in 1:35.89 for jockey Luis Chavez. Despite the good showing, "He's not going to be in any Triple Crown races," said winning trainer H. Allen Jerkens. "Maybe he'll run in the Peter Pan or the New York-bred races."
Also Saturday, Delta Princess rallied from well back to capture the $100,000 Beaugay Handicap for fillies and mares by 1/2 length over Wonder Again. Voodoo Dancer was third as the heavy favorite. Delta Princess, with Michael Luzzi up, got the 1 1/16 mile on firm turf in 1:42.36.
Sunday, Lord Ofthe Thunder rallied from last to dominate the stretch run in the $75,000 Kings Point Handicap for New York-breds. Lord Ofthe Thunder, a 4-year-old son of Saint Ballado, finished 4 1/4 lengths ahead of Mr. Determined, who led early but lacked the determination to hold the advantage. Union One was third. Javier Castellano had the winning ride for trainer Jennifer Pedersen.
Hollywood Park
Gondolieri surged to the lead turning for home in Saturday's $100,000 Inglewood Handicap and won by 3 lengths over Truly a Judge. Freefourinternet was third under the wire and Leprechaun Kid completed the order of finish. Gondolieri, a Chilean-bred, 4-year-old son of Gold Tribute, finished the 1 1/16 mile on a wet/fast track in 1:40.32. Blue Stellar and Touch of the Blues were scratched when the race came off the turf. "The first time he ran at Santa Anita, he ran very well on the dirt," said Dan Landers, assistant to winning trainer Ron McAnally. "I believe that was his first time on the dirt."
Sunday, Buffythecenterfold went to the lead in the stretch in the $100,000 Railbird Stakes for 3-year-old fillies, then held off Honest Answer to win by 1 length. Dash for Money was third. Buffythecenterfold, a daughter of Capote, ran 7 furlongs in 1:22.54. "When it was time to go, she really kicked in," said winning jockey Victor Espinoza. "I just kind of left her alone."
Mobil took the lead at mid-stretch in Saturday's $150,000 Queenston Stakes for Ontario-bred 3-year-olds and won by 1 length over the favorite, Quiet Dare. Awesome Action was third. Mobil, a bay son of Langfuhr, ran 7 furlongs with Todd Kabel aboard in 1:24.26. "I was just a little concerned around the turn," said Kabel. "Once I got him straightened up down the lane, he switched leads, got straightened out and fired like a real good horse." Both Mobil and Quiet Dare still are considered prospects for the Juen 22 Queen's Plate.
Sunday, Elusive Thought jumped quickly to the front in the $150,000 Fury Stakes for 3-3-year-old fillies and slowed down the pace. With jockey Jim McAleney controlling the speed, Elusive Thought had plenty left at the end to hold off Mountain Dawn and win by 1 length. The race went in 1:24.10. Trainer Reade Baker said he was happy with Elusive Thought's performance but is not yet ready to announce her as a candidate for the Labatt Woodbine Oaks. "She'd have to pass the test in the Selene," he said, referring to the May 19 Selene Stakes at 1 1/16 mile. "I don't know about the Oaks. But she's a pretty nice filly."
Delaware Park
Gimmeawink got good running position coming into the stretch run in Saturday's $75,000 Francis "Jock" LaBelle Memorial for 3-year-olds, then ran down pace-setting Only the Best to win by 1 length. First Blush, the favorite, closed from the back of the six-horse field to finish third. Gimmeawink, a Kentucky-bred Elusive Quality colt, ran 6 furlongs in 1:11.22.
Bay Meadows
Aunt Sophie found room between horses with a furlong to go in Saturday's $60,000 Santa Clara Handicap, went through and got home first, 1 3/4 lengths ahead of the odds-on favorite, Lacie Girl. Lost at Sea was third. Aunt Sophie, a 5-year-old Altazarr mare, ran the 1 mile on a wet/fast track in 1:34.74. "There wasn't much room," said winning rider Roberto Gonzalez, but she really showed some guts and went right through. She rebroke when she saw daylight and I knew I had it."
Lone Star Park
That Tat ran his 2003 record to 3-for-3 with a 3/4-length victory over Doctor Mike in Saturday's $75,000 Ford Express. Front Nine was third. That Tat, with Eddie Martin Jr. in the irons, ran 6 furlongs in 1:09.05 as the odds-on favorite. For his career, the 5-year-old gelding shows 10 wins from 26 starts.
Mountaineer Park
Crossing Point took charge at the top of the stretch in Saturday's $75,000 Panhandle Handicap and won off easily, beating Tanky Boy by 5 1/2 lengths. High Flying Bid was third and the only other starter, Boston Brat, lost action after turning into the stretch and was eased. Crossing Point, a 6-year-old son of Allen's Prospect, ran 5 furlongs in 58.47 seconds.
Prairie Meadows
Pie's Lil Brother let a quartet of rivals carve out a suicidal pace in Saturday's $50,000 Prairie Express Stakes, then came along to pick up the pieces, winning by a nose over another closer, Sand Ridge. Outathechute, who led the first quarter mile in a sparkling 21.75 seconds, held on for third. "It was a good race and it laid perfectly for this colt, who likes to come from off the pace," said winning rider Alex Birzer.
Tampa Bay Downs
Guardianofthegate caught pace-setting Atiba on the second turn in Saturday's $50,000 Columbia Stakes, then held off a pair of contenders in the stretch to win by 1 3/4 lengths over Total Anilation. Dell Place was third after a bid at the top of the lane fell short. Guardianofthegate, a 7-year-old son of Gate Dancer, ran the 9 furlongs on a firm turf course in 1:50.16.
Hawthorne Race Course
Attico, rebounding from a series of losses in southern climes during the winter, unleashed a strong move through the stretch to win Saturday's $40,000 Nicole Stakes by 1/2 length over Spice Island. I Can Fan Fan was the early leader but faded to finish third in the 1 1/16 mile event, clocked in 1:40.39 over yielding turf.
Emerald Downs
Unyielding lived up to his name in Saturday's $35,000 Auburn Stakes for 3-year-olds, working quickly to the front and turning back all rival bids. The Detox gelding, bred in Washington, won by 3 1/4 lengths over Knightsbridge Road with Marbury finishing third. The favorite, Mr. Elusive, faded to get home last of six. The 6 furlongs went in 1:08 2/5 over a wet/fast track.
Turf Paradise
Centerofattention upset Saturday's $35,000 Sun City Handicap, winning a stretch battle with Aspen Hill before working clear to win by 1 1/4 lengths. A Smile Per Mile was third in the 1-mile turf event for fillies and mares, clocked in 1:36.07.
Suffolk Downs
Bruanna ran behind Special Jude through most of Saturday's $35,000 Miss Indy Ana Stakes for fillies and mares - right up to the wire, where she surged to win by a neck. Mrscoppolaskitchen was well back in third. Bruanna, a 5-year-old daughter of Housebuster, finished the 6 furlongs on a fast track in 1:12.94.
Manor Downs
Marquee surged quickly to the lead in Saturday's $35,000 Thoroughbred Futurity Finals and won by 2 3/4 lengths over Print in Black. Movin N Crusin was third. Marquee, the wagering favorite in the field of 10 starters, finished the 4 1/2 furlongs in 51.97 seconds. She is a daughter of Gold Regent.
Evangeline Downs
No Its Not rallied from a stalking position to win Saturday's $35,000 John Henry Handicap by 3 1/2 lengths over Silky Zarb. Two Knight's, coupled with the winner for wagering, ran evenly to finish third. No Its Not, a 4-year-old Is It True gelding, ran the 1 1/16 mile on a fast track in 1:44 4/5.
Emerald Downs
Ema Bovary, a Chilean-bred filly, romped home down the stretch in Sunday's $35,000 Hastings Park Handicap, winning by 2 1/4 lengths over Whatdidshesay. Silver Screen Girl was third. Ema Bovary, despite a slow start, ran the 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:14 2/5.
Fonner Park
Intervene came around the early leaders to win Sunday's Nebraska Derby by 3 1/4 lengths over heavy favorite Albert E. Grayglen was third in the field of nine. Intervene, a Nebraska-bred son of Siyah Kalem, ran 1 mile on a sloppy track in 1:42 4/5.

During the height of the AIDS epidemic, there was a standing joke among my cousins and my siblings: if anyone asks, "where are you from?" say you're from Martinique not Haiti, anywhere other than Haiti. Although we joked about it we never denied our heritage. We are proud to be Haitian. Many friends and aquaintences have called me this week to see how my family fared after the earthquake. One of whom was my old college friend the insideplaya. He encouraged me to try to put into words how I felt about the plight of Haiti.
The images of death and destruction stain the mind for hours. Unlike a computer, the brain is not able to calculate and give a logical answer in response to the stream of information given. What? Haitian earthquake. When? Tuesday, January 12th 2010 at 5:00 PM in the evening. Magnitude? 7.0. Casualties? Still processing. There may never be an accurate count.
The island nation of Haiti has been the focal point of the collective media's coverage this week. The eyes of the world are trained on the small Caribbean nation. The devastation hit a country that is already incapable of properly serving it's citizens. Decade after decade, major events continue to happen; dictators, millitary coups, violence, famine, floods and the rest. It never seems to end, but this week makes those other disasters look like child's play. Rich and poor, educated and uneducated are affected. What next? All they can do is wait. Wait for assistance, wait for supplies to arrive, wait for medical care, wait for the nightmare to end. For thousands it is just the beginning. Their lives are gone, families erased, histories wiped out and ancestry vanished. The death toll increases, and the question lingers: am I next?
There is no going back to normalcy anytime soon. What used to be routine has just collapsed under the weight of a mound of stone, steel, flesh and blood. People can't work, worship, study or shop. All of the trappings of regular existence have been swept away, and now begins the process of putting a nation back together.
For the individual, a life of any kind will be difficult to piece together. Even the simple task of finding identifying documentation for you or a loved one can be impossible because government agencies are in the same state you are in. Why? Because unlike when other disasters happened this hit the island's nerve center and capitol, Port-au-Prince. What does this mean? It means that even though other parts of the country were not hit by the quake, they will feel the effects of the quake for some time to come. In Haiti all roads lead to Port-au-Prince, it is the lifeline of the island.
As a former citizen of New Orleans, I heard many stories that came out of Katrina. After several months of frustration, people leaving their homes without their important papers had to go through Baton Rouge or national agencies to replace them. Horror stories about the conditions in the Superdome abounded. Survivors were treated like animals and animals they became before they left that place. The Haitian disaster stories are a hundred times worse because the Haitian foundation and infrastructure were weaker to begin with. Earthquakes strike without warning, and the people of Haiti had no time to gather important items nor were they able to set meeting places. There was no plan in case of emergency, no chance to run for shelter or an alternative power grid to back up an already nonexistent one. In an instant, life was definitively altered.
As I sit here safely at home, surrounded by loved ones, and the mementos of a lifetime, I am fairly certain that a catastrophic disaster of the kind that has struck the island that my family can trace it's roots to will most likely not happen in New York. I cannot avert my eyes from the TV screen. I am many miles away, and like many others I ask; what can I do? Everything and not enough. My greatest resource is prayer, and going to the throne of grace and asking for mercy is a powerful tool that I have not hesitated to employ since I first heard the news of the disaster. But it is not enough, faith without work is dead. However, collectively we can make a difference. Through both prayer and action we can make a contribution that when added to what others send, can help to end the suffering.
Right now the need is both immediate and long-term. I am looking forward to the months and years of reconstruction ahead of the Haitian people. Please give now, and give whatever you can; water, non-perishable items, such as; tarps, toiletries, food, etc. All will be appreciated, but what is most needed is cash! Please continue to give cash over the next weeks, months and years.
These organizations have a long-standing relationship with Haiti and are trustworthy.
World Vision
Doctors Without Borders
Salvation Army
Save the Children
Partners In Health
Food for the Poor.
So, as I prepare for my Sunday worship services, my thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti, and I have faith that the newly formed alliance of Presidents Clinton and Bush will do great work for Haiti, and help to get her back on her feet. So I ask from my heart that you continue to pray for the strength and safety of the Haitian people, and to send what you can, as often as you can, for as long as you can. She will need a strong hand of assistance before she can walk on her own again.
