Todd Owens Scores Second Sunoco Modified 20/20 Sprint Victory In Tiebreaker :Racers Guide – The Web's #1 Racers' Online Directory!
Once a year Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park honors the fans with a special afternoon of racing purely dedicated to the local divisions with drivers looking to squeeze every point they can out of their day prior to the season-ending World Series weekend in October. That tradition continued on Sunday, Sept. 9 with the Sunoco Modified 20/20 Sprint and For the Fans Night featuring all four of Thompson's track divisions with the Sunoco Modified drivers taking part in the annual 20/20 sprint featuring two points paying races and a third segment to decide and overall winner.
The Sunoco Modified 20/20 Sprint was, in fact, the biggest show of the afternoon as the stars of the division took to the track for three races including a final ten-lap sprint to determine the overall winner of the event. While the first two 20-lap features awarded championship points all three also awarded separate points based on finishing position with the driver accruing the least amount of those points wining the overall 20/20 Sprint title.
The first segment put drivers in an inverted order based on championship points with the lowest driver in points starting on the pole and the driver on top of the standings starting in last. Points leader Keith Rocco quickly moved his way into the top five in the opening laps of the first segment while Marcello Rufrano, Kyle James and Joey Gada held down the top three for the first half of the segment with Woody Pitkat and Rocco in tow. Pitkat would work his way up to second by lap 16 but couldn't find enough to get past Marcello Rufrano who took the first segment easily. The win was Rufrano's first career victory in the Sunoco Modified which had the young driver speechless in victory lane.
When the accrued points for the 20/20 shootout were tallied the final 10-lap segment saw Kyle James as the man to beat for the overall crown with five points while Marcello Rufrano entered the final segment with seven points and Keith Rocco and Todd Owen had an accumulated eight points. The driver with the lowest points total accrued after the final segment was to be crowned the 20/20 Sprint champion. Todd Owens and Keith Rocco started the race up front based on their speeds from segment one while Kyle James settled in fourth for the opening laps. Those positions put Owen and James in a tie for least points accrued and they stayed that way through the final lap. Since the two drivers were tied at the end of the race Todd Owen was awarded the overall victory for the second year in a row for finishing higher that Kyle James in segment three.
"Two years in a row we won this and I'm just happy for all my guys. They are my family. They are my crew. They gave up their whole weekends to be with me and that's something special. It's hard to find guys as committed as the ones I have with me here," Owen said in victory lane.
The Late Models started off the afternoon's lineup of main events as one of the closest points races of 2018 with only eight positions separating Nicholas Johnson and Tom Carey III for the championship. It was a tale of two races for the points leaders as Johnson was involved in two separate incidents only four laps into the race, including a crash on a restart that also collected Woody Pitkat who was third in points coming into the race. Carey on the other hand spent much of the race in the top five and managed to wrestle his way to second place seven laps into the event before another caution slowed action on the track. Yet another caution flag waved soon after when contact between William Wall and Walt Sutcliffe in a battle for the top three created a multi-car incident resulting in a red flag and Sutcliffe approaching Wall's stationary car to confront Wall face to face. The wreck was also the third incident involving Nicholas Johnson who spun to successfully avoid damage from the incident.
After two more cautions race control changed the restarts to single file allowing Tom Carrey III to take the lead while Nickolas Johnson worked his way through the field into the top five with eight laps to go. Carey went on to dominate the second half of the race scoring his first Late Model win at Thompson. Nicholas Johnson completed his comeback performance with a fifth-place finish making him perfect in top five finishes for 2018 in the division going into the final event. Carey celebrated the win in style with his family in victory lane and called it a long time coming.
The mini stocks took to the track for a 15-lap feature which saw plenty of action up front as the early laps saw two father and son duos, Eric and Evan Bourgeois and Dave and DJ Trudeau, battle it out for the top spot. However another familiar name eventually worked his way into the mix as Wayne Burroughs took the lead eight laps into the event. A late race caution saw Chris Taylor's car ride the front stretch wall and nearly flip over eventually landing on all four tires bringing out a quick red flag. Another quick caution later and Wayne Burroughs once again held the lead battling points leader Eric Bourgeois to the wire. Burroughs held on to score his fourth win of the 2018 season in the Mini Stocks. Despite having more wins that Bourgeois, Burroughs is out of the running for the title after missing a make up race over the summer leaving Bourgeois comfortably ahead of Jared Roy and Dave Trudeau in his quest for a title at the season finale.
Finally, in the Limited Sportsman it was business as usual for Shawn Monahan who all but wrapped up his second consecutive championship in the division with his fourth win of the season after earning the title winless in 2017.
Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park will close out the 2018 season next month with the 56th Annual Sunoco World Series of Speedway Racing. Considered the crown jewel of the speedway the World Series will see numerous champions crowned including the new titleholders of Thompson's four track divisions and the crowning of the 2018 NASCAR Whelen Modified Series Tour champion as Justin Bonsignore looks to cap off an incredible season with a title and possible season sweep at the Big T. The three-day weekend begins on Friday Oct. 12 and runs through Oct. 14.

This article is written by Mr. Souvik Chatterji, Master of Law, Warwick University, UK, Master of Law Case Western Reserve University, USA.
1950s and 60s can be described as an era of classical prose, poetry, shayeris. Although the subject matter of Indian cinema ranged from Historical classics like " Tajmahal", " Mughal-I –Azam" to classic literature like "Devdas" (written by Sarat Chandra Chatterjee) " Kabuliwala" (written by Rabindranath Tagore) to Suspense Thrillers like " Woh kaun thi" " Mera saya". The list can go on. But what were common to all those films were the pains, devotion and imagination with which lyricists and music composers composed the songs. And of course the expression, andaz, style and perfection Mohammad Rafi had presented which is a rich asset for future generations.
If we look at the film " Tajmahal" ,released in 1963, after the demise of mumtaz mahal , Shahjahan was associated with the lyrics " hum ate rahen hai, hum ate rahenge, muhabbat ki rasme nibhate rahenge, jan-e-wafa tum do sada fir kya thikana humko ana parega." The lyrics was written by Sahir Ludhianvi and music composed by Roshan in Rag- Pahari.. Rafi had transformed his passion with the badshahi andaz of Shahjahan that existed at that time.The song had not lost its immortal value even today.
There are songs where Rafi had made people intoxicated. There are other songs where he had awakened the audience. One of the example is in the Film " Bheegi Raat" . At the frag end of the film, the song "Dil Jo na kah saka wohi raz-e dil, kaheneki raat ayee." It was picturised on Pradeep kumar in 1965 and song composed by Roshan in raag kalyan.
In the film " Mere mehboob" released in 1963, the title song " Mere mehboob tujhe meri muhhobat ki kasam , phir teri nargisi aankhoka sahara deden, mera khoyahua rangeen nazara deden" had brought the cultured pardanashin community of Aligarh to Cinemahall. Rafi's sweetness and bass had overpowered the majestic screen presence of Jubilikumar " Rajender kumar", classic creation of Naushad and rich lyrics of Shakeel Badayani.The pandemonium hall of Aligarh University was opened for the classic song.
In Gurudutt's Pyasa released in 1957, the climax of the film came into being when Guru dutt did not accept the recognition given to him by brothers in open hall. The famous song " yeh mahalon, yeh takhton, yeh tajon ki duniya" had created unrest in the cinema halls. Rafi's voice had helped in social awakening. The song was composed by SD Burman. The same Rafi had mesmerized the listeners with his romantic mood in the film "Chawdavi ka chand" acted by Guru dutt , released in 1960,with the title song, "Chawdavi ka chand ho, yah aaftab ho, jobhi ho tum khuda ki kasam lajawab ho". The music was composed by Ravi. Rafi's tragic andaz in the film Kagaz ka phool , released in 1959 had brought tears in the eyes of the audience with " are dekhi zamane ki yaari, bichre sabhi, bari, bari." The sensitive words were put in by Sahir Ludhiyanvi.
In most of the tragic situations Rafi had felt the pathos in himself while analyzing what the situation demanded. His song "koi sagar dil ko bahalata nahin" in the film "Dil diya dard liya" composed in raag kalawati had transformed intoxication into tragedy. It was released in 1966. In the film " aadmi", released in 1967, his song " aaj purani raahon par koi mujhe awaz na den, dard me dube geet na den , gham ka sisakta saz naden" had made people think who was a better tragedian, Dilipkumar or Rafi himself. Both the lyrics were written by Shakeel Badayani and music composed by Naushad. In the film " Kohinoor" released in 1960, Rafi had presented a pure classical andaz in the song " Madhubanme radhika nacchere, giridharki muraliya bajere". It was composed by Naushad in raag hamir and was picturised on Dilip kumar. In the same film there was totally different melody in the song " Do sitaronka zammen par hai Milan aaj ki raat". The words of Shakeel Badayani had been given adequate expression by Rafi. Naushad had given some serious compositions to Rafi like " Ek shahanshah ne banwake hasin tajmahal sari duniyako muhabbatka nishani di hai." It was composed in raag lalit in 1964 in the film "Leader" acted by Dilip kumar.
In the film " Lal patthar"(1971), Shankar jaikishan had composed for Rafi " unke khayal aye to ate chaale gaye" in raag gara. There the nostalgic mood of badshah was presented by Rafi. Other quality creations of Shankar Jaikishan included " Aji ruth kar ab kahan jaiyega" in raag desh in Aarzoo (1966) starring Rajender kumar, " Khuda bhi asma se jab zamin par dekhta hoga" in the film "Dharti," " mujhko apne gale lagalo ai mere humrahi" ( Humrahi, 1962) "surahidar gardan koel sihi awaz" in the film " Aman". The lyrics were written by Hasrat Jaipuri.
In creations of OP Nayyar, Rafi had mixed the eastern passion with western flavour. So in the song "Zulfke chayon me chehreka ujala lekar" in "Phir wahi dil laya hoon" (1963) written by Majrooh sultanpuri or " Mujhe dekhkar aapka muskurana" in " Ek musafir ek hasina" (1962) picturised on Joy Mukherjee , or " Tukre hai mere dilke ai jan tera aansoo" in "Mere Sanam" (1965) picturised on Biswajeet, we find the voice floating with western air to suit the compositions.
Besides Rafi's voice had been used in "Kabhi khudpe kabhi halatpe rona aya" (Humdono, 1961) by Jaidev, "Parabatoke Pedo par shamka basera hai" by Khayyam, " ek sawal tum karon, ek sawal hum Karen" (Goonj uthi sahnai, 1959) by Wasant Desai.There were other composers also in those decade who had given their best creations to Mohammad Rafi. It is difficult to compile major songs of the legend who did sing around 25000 songs in a span of 35 years. But the songs are expected to be preserved for future generations as rich historical remains because the alfaz (words) and sur ( musical composition) were created not mechanically, but with the deepest thoughts from the core of the heart.
Tragedy King Dilip kumar had rightly said that "jaise indradhanush ke andar saat rang kaid hai, usi tarah rafi ki awaz ki ehmiat tafteez karne ke liye mere pass alfaaz nahin hai", Meaning the way the seven colours (vibgyor), are immersed in a rainbow, in the same way it is not possible to express the significance of Rafi's golden voice in words. An Archive on Mohamad Rafi's works should be established where the creations of musical giants can be preserved. Furthermore the future generations can get inspiration for rich creation in future.
6 My father Sri Chittaranjan Chatterji, Ex Chief Public Prosecutor of Bankshall Court, Kolkata had interviewed classical Bengali singer " Manobendra Mukherjee" who said his performance in the Bengali feature film " Lalubhulu" featuring a blind and a handicapped young boy as friends was superceded by Rafi's performance in the Hindi film "Dosti" for which Laxmikant Pyarellal won their first filmfare award in 1964. Manobendra Mukherjee said it was Rafi only who could have matched his performance.

I dont know who is Ghantasala sorry. he is great singer but we are not here to compare,please stop to compare…..
One of you said that when he was i kid,he spoke with mohd rafi and said to mohd rafi that I am not your fan and I fan of ……. and i like his songs and mohd Rafi was that i am also his fan and he sang that singer song for that kid..
when Mannay Day said to Mohd rafi how can sing it so easy Mohd rafi reply was i am your fan and mannay da reply was I need to born again to sing like you..
people all who worked with mohd rafi all said that there be no other mohd rafi….
we know more than these music people………..
very precious for our music.one of the greatest culture of the world i.e.
anybody or tried dirty games for keeping his position.
Pl. do not again try to create disruptions, a humble request. What do you know about ghantasala ? Your post clearly has loopholes. Pl. do not think otherwise. Can you name any classical singer who was as successful as ghantasala as playback singer (3 decades monarch without any competition – none could stand before him) or any playback singer who was as accomplished in classical singing as ghantasala ? The toughest ever songs in film singing have been composed in telugu film music sung by ghantasala and there is no genre or pitch which was beyond his reach. There lies the answer. Just see wikipedia, encyclopaedia on ghantasala, you will know what he is and where he stands and then come back please. I do not want to put much on this as already this has been discussed at length earlier.
True, one can sing Ghantasala also after learning classical music, but can not attempt Rafi. Even if one sings Rafi correct gramatically, some huge thing will be missing! One big example is Mahendra kapur, who sang well but… ? There is some magic in Rafi's soft velvet voice with the required expressions to the right amount. ' and effortless singing… not overburdening you with a feel of classical demonstration, not required in film music; though not missing accuracy and delivering difficult notes also in filmy style!!!
what to say about this legend? everybody sings. and everybody enjoys…but is there any person who matches with this laegend till now.? no it wont happen..its happens once in a blue moon…but it wont happen again, becoz hes is a special human to the almighty..who sen him here to show his creativity.. to be honest..i can sing almost everybodys songs and can do justice to it. But am afraid to sing a rafi saheb's song…thats the way he sings.
may his soul rest in peace….and when you listen to rafisab's songs you feel that you can sing the particular song..but when you attempt it..then you will know how hard it is to sing a rafi sab's song…he maintains a level in his singing..in high notes and lower notes…the same pich amazing..that why i scribbled here god send him here to sho his creativity.
Dear murthy ji, I agree totally with your comments since I am well aware and conversant with both telugu and hindi songs. But pl.do remember that this is a tribute to rafi ji and hence no comparisons can be made though it is agreed that ghantasala's voice is the most majestic voice. Both are eminent singers and both are masters in their own respective fields. However, it is a fact that in terms of high pitch songs, in terms of clarity and melody etc. there is no comparison for ghantasala. Even lata ji's voice fades in top high pitches but ghantasala's talent is rare in such high pitch songs. Any how enjoy music of all the talented singers to your pleasure.
no doubt as stated by our friends, rafi saheb was a very good singer. But India has got so many languages and so many versatile singers. I have heard many languages including southern films and I personally feel that ghantasala venkateshwara rao, the southern film singer, with golden majestic voice is most superior voice in India. This was stated by rafi ji and lata mangeshkar also in yester years. In 1969 lata ji commemorated ghantasala ji by saying that there is no comparison to ghantasala. Once you listen to songs of ghantasala in the 50's and 60's you will yourself decide what to say. Anyhow India is great to have produced such singers, whose voices are beautiful and it is a pleasure to hear both the singers.
lessons just by listening to the fantastic musical feats of rafi saab.
I just happened to visit http://www.upperstall.com referred in the above article and it is again a very useful and beautiful site for information on any song, singer, movie, actors, music directors etc. All Rafians can visit the same and get more insight and information from other archives on various films where Mohd. Rafi provided the lead playback.
By far, one of the best articles on our Guruji -MOHD RAFI – written by Mr. Souvik Chatterji . I went on reading it several times and had to read all the responses before giving my own an each one of those responses must have come straight out of their hearts. Fantastic work Mr. Chatterjee and a very timely article too to adorn the front page of this website during the 27th death anniversary of our beloved and most reverred artiste. I will check up the other links/websites referred above. Again hearty congratulations to the writer. Keep it up with many more such finely crafted articles as this gives us all the necessary zeal in this otherwise hectic life.
Sach hai ki sukh ka samvad kabhi kabhi dukh ka karan ban jata hai.
aaj aap sab logo ke kathan padh kar ek taraf hridye prafullit bhi hua aur doosri taraf aankhen bhi nam ho gaye..
kehte hai ki aag ki garmi ka ehsaas aag ke sameep baith kar hi hota hai parantu main aaj bhi Rafi saheb ke kanth ki madhurta ko yahan bahithe baithe hi mehsoos kar sakta hoon.
WHAT A LOVELY ARTICLE !
U have echoed the sentiments of lovers of Rafi sahab era very well and proud to inform that we all belong to that golden era.
We Love U Rafi Sahab……….
I am extremely happy to read the opinions of all my family members about RAFI sahab. ( We all belong to the musical family of RAFI sahab) . Its non other than RAFI sahab who has given us innumerable golden melodies. We cant say which is good, which is average and which is superb, because all are superb. And its only RAFI sahab who has put a seed in every one of us so that we will carry the fragrance of his GOLDEN MELODIES forward so that its frangrance encircles the entire world spreading the message of simplicity, humbleness as RAFI sahab himself was. RAFI SAHAB ZINDABAD. RAFI SAHAB AAP AMAR HAIN.
Though I do not have memories associated with the legend but my papa whose lyrics rafi saab sang recollects some of the finest memories.
One thing that he recollects is that Rafi saab was very particular about the work that he did. He documented each song and all the details related to the song. Thus he appeals to the music collectors & researchers to find those documents to get the list of all 25000+ songs that he has sung.
secondly since my papa was a salaried employee it was not possible for him to attend the reharsals everytime. in one of the reharsals he was late and O P nayyar did not like it ( since nayyar saab was very particular about time). Realising the situation rafi saab insisted the reharsals be kept on sundays only. This was the great rafi saab.
My favourite song happens to be one penned by my papa for the film Heera moti – composed by Nayyar saab sung in his unique style by rafi saab. The song is Honth hain tere do laal heere.
It is the voice of all times and the voice of all ages. Truely incredible.
I feel one of the major reasons why Rafi Sahab and his songs will never be forgotten is that his divine voice and the lyrical quality of his songs beautifully complemented each other. His pronounciation was so impeccable that even in high pitched songs, his words were crystal clear. We are truly blessed to have heard him during our lifetime, what to say about people who have seen him singing!
Good artical,whatever amount of praise,emotion,versatility,to Rafiji singing is just a drop of water in ocean.He is unparrallel,non comparable.He is timeless,spaceless genius.
The Article "Mohammad Rafi – One of the most versatile voices in our last century" is good one. Mr. Souvik Chatterji has rightly elaborated about the Great accentor.
I think the voice of the great singer shall always remain immortal in every century because such perfect, melodious, sweet like our own heart's voice can never be available. In India, Mohd. Rafi can never be forgotten. Everyone feels today that Rafi Sahib's popularity is increasing day by day despite the fact that he has been no more with us for 27 years. His repertoire of valuable songs is a motivation for all of us.
A very good and informative article touching briefly on all aspects of Rafi Saab and his versatility. In one of the Kannada film musical contest for youngsters being aired on TV, which is being conducted by S.P.Balasubramanyam, in one of the episodes, he was full of praise for the title song of "MERE MEHBOOB" and spoke about Rafiji's talents. I also read somewhere SPB telling that how many perople can sing the word "Zhooma" the way Rafi sang in the song "Ye Dekhake Dil Zhooma" from KASHMIR KI KALI. It was the sheer genius of Rafi Saab that even lyrics having dis-jointed words, Rafi could sing them wihout any problem just like water flows.
Irfan Ji : v e r y true….
can go to bed at 9.30 p.m. I believe this.
Mr. Chatterji, I can't thank you enough for this great article. Such a well-analysed article with references to some of the greatest songs in hindi film music. Please contribute more to this forum; we would all gain a lot from such articles. i've seen both lalubhulu and dosti, and I can fully understand why manabendra holds rafi in high esteem. I have only one comment, though. I think the title could be: "Mohammad Rafi: The most versatile singer in the last century". But that's my opinion, and I'd defer to someone as knowledgable as you.
One anecdote that I would like to give out was that after recording the song 'Aaj purani Raho se' for Aadmi when Naushad saab asked Rafisaab ke 'Rafisaab gaana to ho gaya gaya ab paise ki baat ki jaaye' to Rafisaab ne kaha ke 'kaisi baat kar rahe hai Naushad saab Is gaane ke mai paise nahi lunga aise gaane aajkal bante kaha hai'.So much was the mans love for good music.

Q: Probability limit of ridge estimator I have been working on the following question for a while but I'm stuck at a certain point.
Question:
Let the true model be $y_t=μ_t+\epsilon _t,t= 1,...,T,$ with $y_t$ a scalar, and $t$ time. You will show below  how  to  derive  the  Hodrick-Prescott  filter  that  extracts  a  time-varying  mean $μ_t$ using ridge regression. The entire parameter vector is $μ= (μ_1,...,μ_T)′$, and the entire data is $y=(y_1,...,y_T)′$.
I have done part a and b and found
$$
\hat{\mu} = (I_T + \lambda D'D)y
$$
where $I_T$ is the identity matrix with dimension T, $\lambda$ is tuning parameter and $D$ is the second order difference matrix which is a tridiagonal and Toeplitz matrix of which the first row is [1, −2, 1, 0,... , 0].
However, I got stuck in part c and d.
c)  Assume that $T^{−1/2}∑^T_{t=1}\epsilon _t → N(0,σ^2)$.  Derive the probability limit of $\hat{μ}$ keeping $λ$ constant,and letting $μ_t=μ_0$.
d)  Same as c), but instead of keeping $λ$ constant, let $T^αλ→0$.  What should $α$ be equal to such that $\hat{μ_1}→μ_0$ and $T^{1/2}(\hat{μ_1}−μ_0)→N(0,σ^2)$?  Here, $\hat{μ_1}$ is the first element of $μ$.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Freeholders will take over management of the Morris County Jail Sept. 1.
Morris County Freeholders with Mayor Barberio in happier times.
The Morris County Board of Freeholders will take over management of the Morris County Jail on September 1, 2015, removing Sheriff Edward Rochford as manager of jail operations.
Citing state law that allows freeholder boards to "exercise the custody, rule, keeping and charge of county jails,'' the freeholder board voted Wednesday night to direct the county administrator to take all steps needed to assume direct control of the county lockup, which is located in Morris Township. The vote was 6-0. Freeholder John Cesaro abstained.
The freeholder board, in making its decision, cited ongoing fiscal differences with the sheriff, including excessive raises negotiated with corrections unions and huge overtime increases at the jail despite a marked reduction in the number of inmates. They also cited the sheriff's unwillingness to cooperate with the County Office of Labor Relations, which has historically negotiated all labor contracts for the county, and with a general lack of communications on many issues.
Under Sheriff Rochfords watch The correctional facility received accreditation through the American Correctional Association (ACA), one of only two jails in the state and one of only 145 county jails nationwide to do so.
The freeholders on Wednesday also voted to reject four labor agreements that have been negotiated this year by Sheriff Rochford, including two with corrections unions.
"The county has determined that it is in the best interests of Morris County to have the Morris County Freeholder Board assume complete and sole oversight of the corrections facility,'' according to the resolution passed by the county governing board on Wednesday night. " The County Administrator and County Counsel are hereby directed to take all necessary actions to implement this transfer…'' according to the freeholder resolution.
We are still digesting all that transpired in the middle of the night as this comes as a complete shock to us. Never once was there expressed concern or a phone call made with regards to the management of the jail. There is no justification for taking over the jail as it has just received national accreditation for the 11th year in a row ranking it in the top 1% of all jails in the entire country. Chris Christie's own State Comptroller studied all state jails and reported our jail as the 5th lowest out of the 21 counties for overtime spending. The jail is currently undergoing its annual inspection from the state and is expecting to receive a 100% as in past years.
"This is an abuse of power by the Freeholders. They are playing with the taxpayers' safety for their own political purposes. They are legally allowed to take over the jail but it makes no fiscal sense to do so and the taxpayers should look to Warren and Ocean Counties where the jail was taken over by their respective Freeholder Boards and then returned to the Sheriff because it was an expense and a liability they did not actually want to bear." Rochford explains. The Freeholders spent hundreds of thousands of dollars with study after study trying to justify dismantling the Bureau of Law Enforcement and creating a county police but despite their best attempts, the public outcry shut that down. Now they are after the jail without any due diligence but rather, just because they can.
The idea of setting up a meeting with the Freeholders to discuss the signed contracts only was originated two months ago in a meeting with County Administrator, John Bonanni. The Freeholders conveniently chose a day that the Sheriff had to be out of town at a professional commitment. Our very own Morris County chief, Chief Wagner from Denville was being sworn in as the 100th President of the Chiefs Association. This is a huge deal for the county and every law enforcement leader was in attendance to show support. The Sheriff requested on three separate occasions to have the meeting rescheduled citing the importance of this event, to no avail. No professional courtesy was given to reschedule. He agreed to call into the meeting via phone so he could participate but he was not able to connect to which the county officials claimed was due to "technical difficulties" on their end; leaving Rochford unable to participate in the meeting at all.
There was no public announcement of this Resolution on the agenda which is simply downright unethical. In fact, Freeholder Cesaro claimed at the meeting that he also didn't know anything about this and suggested publically at the meeting that the vote be held off until the Sheriff could have an opportunity to speak, however the board charged forward. Perhaps it is actions like this that caused Cesaro to separate himself from the losing incumbents Scapicchio and Krikus because he holds himself to a higher code of ethics.
The Bureau of Corrections has seen a spike in overtime due to the continued mass departures resulting from the egregiously uncompetitive salaries. Since 2012, we have lost 39% of our new officers within their first two years. This equates to close to $800,000 in training costs of replacement officers and close to the same amount for overtime to fill the void of the departing officers during the lapse of time required to get a new officer approved, through the academy and up and running. The Sheriff has addressed this with the Board of Chosen Freeholders and County officials but they have disrespectfully ignored him and his 50 years of law enforcement experience.
The Sheriff, with reaffirmed authority to do so after the May 2014 Bergen Case decision of Sheriff Saudino vs. rouge Executive Administrator Donovan, had to take things in his own hands and negotiate a reasonable contract, giving back the steps back that were taken away in their last contract; steps that are standard in this profession across the country. "The Freeholders tout a $60 million surplus, much of which they accumulated off the backs of our employees in the years they took away their steps and gave them a zero percent increase. That has hurt the agency and ultimately the county tremendously as the financial drain from this constant loss of officers has grown out of control. As an agency we have spent roughly $1.2 million in each of the last two years in training replacements. That doesn't even include the money we spent on the overtime that occurred due to the void. These new contracts collectively total about $600,000 in additional salary and wages which is less than half of what we are spending each year in replacements. The Sheriff has brought this to the attention of the Freeholders many times, too many to innumerate, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. In fact, the Freeholders spent over four years litigating and repeatedly appealing the last Corrections union contract spending an exorbitant amount of taxpayer' money only to be hammered by the Appellate court on the 5th appeal. The Freeholders have used the taxpayer funds as their bottomless pit to beat down their opponents in the court room.
In this last election of the Freeholders, each candidate was asked in a public debate if they would spend 50 cents to save a dollar, to which every single one of them unequivocally agreed that they would. This is essentially what we have here. Increase our salary and wages by $600,000 and we will save the county far more than $1.2 million a year.
In short, the Sheriff has negotiated in good faith with his unions for the best interest of the agency and the county at large. He has always remained fiscally responsible and conscientious. He has acted within his legal rights and dutiful responsibilities. The contracts are within the salary ranges set forth by the governing body themselves for county law enforcement. The salaries three years from now will still be lower than those the Prosecutor's Office enjoy today so there should not be any issue. The Freeholder Board is interfering with the Sheriff's ability to run the agency in his fiscally conservative ways and as a result have created this overtime issue that they are now touting as mismanagement.


While we wish every Italian Greyhound could remain happy and safe in his/her home, sometimes it just isn't possible. Italian Greyhounds are turned over to rescue for a variety of reasons including relocation, divorce, job-loss, birth of a baby or other life changes in the family. House training, energy level, leg breaks, behavioral issues and lack of knowledge about the breed are also among the reasons an Italian Greyhound may be surrendered. In some cases the dog can be returned to the breeder or source from where they came, but in other cases this is not possible.
Whatever the reason may be, if you can no longer offer a safe, loving home for your IG, or if you feel your IG has behavioral issues that you cannot overcome, you may need to look at surrendering your dog to rescue.
Arrangements will be made for the transfer and surrender of your Italian Greyhound into rescue. Your IG will be placed in a safe, loving experienced foster home until we find a match with an approved adoptive and loving forever home. A recent photo of your IG will often be requested during this initial contact.
Contact your vet and get a copy of your IG's medical records, including rabies and spay or neuter certificates and microchip registration information, if applicable. This will save him/her from being unnecessarily re-vaccinated. Pack up medications or supplements your IG needs, too, along with instructions for administration of them.
Gather up your IG's favorite belongings that you can send with him/her. Having his/her own crate, bed, toys, jacket, etc. can often help your IG feel more comfortable in the immediate transition.
Complete the IG Rescue Surrender Questionnaire While not mandatory completing this form gives us insight into your IG's previous lifestyle, diet, and medical or behavioral issue and his/her likes and dislikes. It will help the foster home and the dog make a smoother transition.
When you meet with your area IGCA Rescue Representative, it is important to bring all of the above mentioned paperwork. You will be asked to sign relinquishment papers giving up ownership of your IG. We ask for a $75.00 donation at the time of the surrender. The contract is final after it is signed and the IG is taken into our rescue program.
Surrendering your IGCA rescue ensures that your IG will be placed in a loving, educated, forever home with people who understand the special needs of this incredible breed. A humane society, shelter or all-breed rescue may not be able to do the same.
Thank you for looking out for the best interest of your IG and entrusting IG Rescue with the placement of your IG in a new loving home!

Up until recent years, the Atari 2600 game, Red Sea Crossing (see its mention in our guide of the Rarest and Most Valuable Atari 2600 Games) was a bit of a mystery. A recent seller, however, did include the following advertisement from the October 7, 1983 issue of Christianity Today, which may be the only marketing ever released for the game.
We have yet to see the game in any form other than just the cart, but the advertisement states that the game was sold with a coloring book and an audio cassette. It was only sold via mail-order and production was rumored to be around a hundred cartridges.
The recent seller of the cartridge said he/she had talked to the developer, and evidently the developer had a bunch in storage (dozens or a hundred) at one point, but doesn't know where they are or where they may have gone.
Great for Christians like me.

This Week in Scandals: TARP's Midlife Crisis and More
by Alexandra Andrews
Feb. 13, 2009, 9 p.m. EST
Every week, we take stock of how the week unfolded for the stories we're tracking in Scandal Watch (see the right sidebar). Here is how we do it. And, as always, feel free to suggest new scandals.
1. Market Crisis
You might catch a glimpse of a toupee-sporting bailout driving a flashy red Porsche, because it is definitely having a midlife crisis. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner introduced a new plan for the second half of the TARP funds, but it was widely criticized for its lack of clarity and similarity to his predecessor's much-maligned bailout strategy. According to the New York Times, Geithner blocked some restrictions, like tougher limits on exec pay, for banks taking the government's money, over the objections of some of President Obama's top advisers. The Treasury is counting on private investors to buy some of the toxic assets floating around Wall Street, but prospective buyers remain wary.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times reports that the bailout's inspector general is investigating reports that members of Congress tried to steer bailout funds to certain banks. The Washington Post determined this week that well-connected banks can easily finagle a meeting with senior U.S. financial officials.
Finally, a former Bank of America employee tells TPMMuckraker that the bank has attempted to trick customers into paying fees they don't owe. Case in point: A man whose mother had just died says he called to inform the bank and was asked how he planned to "take care of her balance." When he told the representative he had no legal obligation to pay, she reportedly responded, "Oh, that's really not the way to look at it. I know that if it were my mother, I'd pay it."
2. Madoff's Long Con
There were two big developments in the Madoff scandal this week. First, Bernard Madoff signed a partial agreement with the SEC in which he agreed not to "contest the agency's civil fraud allegations." He did not, however, admit or deny any of those allegations. The New York Times says the deal "could eventually force him to pay a civil fine and return money raised from investors." Secondly, a recently filed Massachusetts regulatory complaint reveals that Madoff's wife withdrew $10 million from a brokerage firm co-owned by her husband the day before his arrest. It was her second withdrawal in three weeks, sparking speculation about what she knew and when she knew it.
3. Detainee Treatment
The day the Justice Department reported that Attorney General Eric Holder had ordered a review of "all claims of state secrets," which the AP notes "were used under President Bush to shield controversial anti-terrorism programs from lawsuits," it also exercised the state secret rule itself. The Justice Department told a California court that if a case brought by men who say the CIA abducted and rendered them to countries in which they were tortured proceeds, national security would be put at risk.
Meanwhile, we reported that a "trove of secret memos describing the Bush administration's views on interrogation and detention of terror suspects" may be aired soon because the government's case for keeping them secret doesn't quite hold water in light of a Jan. 22 executive order.

Q: Wordpress lento e com erros de acesso ao banco de dados Tudo bom pessoal,
Tinha feito outra pergunta, mas consegui identificar algumas consultas que estão consumindo muito tempo de execução.
Desenvolvi um tema para um portal de noticias, e em cada área eu carrego noticias de uma determinada categoria.
Mas como algumas postagens (noticias) utilizam mais de uma categoria, preciso tomar cuidado para não obter dados repetidos, neste caso utilizo a opção post__not_in
Vejam um exemplo:
<?php
//$posts_ID é uma variavel que guarda dos IDs dos posts ja exibidos em consultas anteriores a esta.
$posts_planeta_diario = new WP_Query(
    array(
        'post__not_in' => $posts_ID,
        'posts_per_page' => 3,
        'cat' => 3946
    )
);
$return_while = 1;
    while ($posts_planeta_diario->have_posts()):
        $posts_planeta_diario->the_post();

        //armazena os IDs resgatados
        $posts_ID[] = get_the_ID();

        //evitar quebra de layout
        if ($return_while == 3)
            $style_planeta_diario = 'style="margin-right:0px"'
?>
        <li class="liNoticiasPlanetaDiario02" <?php echo $style_planeta_diario; ?>>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('thumb-205x145') ?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php
        $return_while ++;
    endwhile;
?>

Neste exemplo demonstra o que acontece no home page do site.
Meu banco de dados atualmente tem 1gb.
Quando tenho muitos acessos simultâneos da aquele famoso erro de banco de dados (ERRO AO CONECTAR AO BANCO DE DADOS).
A logica que usei acima está correta, pode ser este tipo de chamada que possa está ocasionando lentidão e erro de banco ?

A: Não sei se já foi resolvido.
Mas vocês esqueceu de colocar o wp_reset_postdata() no final depois do endwhile para mais informações do pra que/porque usar aqui
Outra coisa que não entendi direito é o que você tem a necessidade de incrementar o loop. Isso não é bom.
Você pode fazer a mesma coisa que fez aqui $style_planeta_diario = 'style="margin-right:0px"' usando apenas css asssim:
p:nth-child(3n) {
  margin-right:0px
}

Fazendo isso é menos um loop que seu código vai fazer e vai melhorar bastante a performance.


Please join us to protest against a licence appeal by Hagloe House Farm in the Forest of Dean.
Hagloe House Farm had their puppy breeding licence revoked earlier this year. This was a unanimous decision taken by the Forest of Dean District Council, largely due to the inadequate structure and condition of their building that houses 114 breeding dogs and their puppies.
The owners of Hagloe House Farm have appealed the decision, which is due to be heard at 10am on Monday 13th October.
Naturewatch Foundation, C.A.R.I.A.D. and other local groups will be protesting to make sure this appeal is not successful, and we're appealing to anyone who is concerned about puppy farming to join us.
Please click here to find the Cheltenham Magistrate's Court.
If you have any questions about the protest or about our campaign to end puppy farming, please contact us.

California Supreme Court Holds That Personnel Management Conduct Can Constitute Harassment
Topics: Court Decisions, Discrimination, Harassment & Retaliation
The California Supreme Court issued its decision today in Roby v. McKesson Corp., addressing two important issues--(1) whether personnel management conduct can constitute "harassment" within the meaning of FEHA, and (2) the constitutional limits on awards of punitive damages. With respect to the first issue, the Court held that personnel management conduct, including reprimanding an employee in front of coworkers, belittling an employee's job, and shunning an employee during staff meetings, is conduct that can support a finding of hostile work environment harassment. The Court further held that evidence supporting discrimination claims and harassment claims often overlaps and is not necessarily exclusive. Such evidence does not need to be separately allocated between the two claims. This ruling blurs the distinction between conduct traditionally thought to support a "discrimination" claim on the one hand (e.g. written warnings, termination, etc.), and conduct traditionally thought to support a harassment claim on the other (e.g. discriminatory slurs, inappropriate physical contact, etc.). This decision will likely make it more difficult for employers (and individual supervisors) defending claims of harassment under FEHA to obtain summary judgment.
With respect to the second issue on the size of the punitive damages award, the Court reiterated the standards articulated by the United States Supreme Court in State Farm v. Campbell, 538 U.S. 408 (2003), for reviewing the appropriateness of a punitive damages award: (1) the degree of reprehensibility of the defendant's misconduct; (2) the disparity between the actual or potential harm suffered by the plaintiff and the punitive damages award; and (3) the difference between the punitive damages awarded by the jury and the civil penalties authorized or imposed in comparable cases. The decision contains a detailed explanation of how each of these factors is properly analyzed and applied. In this particular case, the Court held that the jury's $15 million punitive damage award was constitutionally excessive and that on the facts of the case, punitive damages could not properly exceed the amount of compensatory damages awarded to the plaintiff. The punitive damages were, therefore, reduced from $15 million to $1.9 million.
The Roby decision is here.


To dream of spitting, could denote unhappy terminations of seemingly auspicious undertakings. For some one to spit on you, foretells disagreements and alienation of affections.
Dreams often mirror real life experiences but can also include fantasies and frightening elements from the imagination or movies, books or even computer games. To avoid sleeping trouble, sleep problems or sleeping disorders ensure your sleep comfort in the beds that you sleep in. Take natural sleep aids for a good night's sleep, sleep in when you can and remember sleep disorders will be diminished with comfortable beds. The most common emotion experienced in dreams is anxiety and fear. Various systems were devised to develop a system of analysis and interpretation to reveal the meanings of dreams and skilful lists of the meanings of dreams formulated which included the subject of Spitting.
Your dream about Spitting may simply reflect events of the day providing an outlet and safe way of expressing pent up emotions. Refer to Sleep Help if you can't sleep or your dreaming leads to disturbed nights, sleeping disorders or insomnia.
