That's Freedom, second from left, rides away to victory at Queanbeyan on Monday. Photo: Rohan Thomson
That's Freedom is no Black Caviar but legendary trainer Frank Cleary will push on towards the Queanbeyan Cup after his gutsy all-the-way victory in the benchmark 60 handicap (1460 metres) at the course on Monday.
It was the first of three Monday public holiday meetings Queanbeyan will hold this season, with the Queanbeyan Cup switching to a Saturday on November 29 in an attempt to boost the club's profitability by racing on the biggest betting day of the week.
Traditionally the cup has been held on a Sunday.
Cleary doesn't like the move, but said he was "too busy picking up horse s---" to get involved in club politics.But he hopes he can secure a start in the cup with That's Freedom, who was previously trained in Melbourne by Peter Moody.

That's Freedom, ridden by Mathew Cahill, scored a dominant all-the-way win, holdingoff a late run from Chosen Time to score by a neck, with Hollywood Nel a half-neck further back in third.
Cleary also saluted with Punton Sunny in the benchmark 55 handicap (875 metres).
"Peter Moody had [That's Freedom] originally and he didn't have much of an opinion of him ... but he's probably used to Black Caviar," he said.
"This horse wouldn't measure up to her, but in the owners' eyes he's doing the same job."

I have been down the rabbit hole. I got sucked down into a prolonged web search on the matter of pre-WWII eugenics, which is more than a little squicky, but was fascinated to discover a thriving community of correspondents which reminded me precisely of the various flavors of blog commenters today that is, opinionated, sometimes pretentious, and often liberally sprinkled with asses. I started picking out names and searching for their contributions.
In particular, I focused on someone named R.B. Kerr, who had at least a 25 year history of writing letters and articles for eugenics journals, and was also much concerned with the sexual habits of women. The earliest articles describe him as Canadian, but later he seems to have moved to Croydon; nowhere can I find any mention of his credentials or background, although I did find one picture of him circa 1907. He seems to have gradually evolved from a radical advocate of Free Love into a kind of Colonel Blimp character.
Heres R.B. Kerr in a letter to the Eugenics Review in 1933. Hes not a racist or anti-Semite, oh, no hes just defending Hitler.
SIR,I entirely agree with you in condemning Hitlers persecution of the Jews, but the reason you give seems to me fallacious. In your July issue you say:
Herr Hitler has still not realized, apparently, that in declaring that the small number of Jews in Germany have achieved an altogether disproportionate measure of successin the arts, sciences, and learned professionshe has publicly acknowledged their superiority to the bulk of the nation that wishes to get rid of them!
If you will read Hitlers book, Mein Kampf, you will find that he fully understands your argument, but does not agree with it. One of his principal charges against the Jews is that in literature and the arts they succeed by superficial and meretricious qualities, and not by first-rate work.
The distinction is familiar to every competent critic. Everybody knows the difference between a best-seller and a literary masterpiece. Edgar Wallace sold far better than John Galsworthy. Hall Caine left many times as much money as Thomas Hardy. Martin Tupper was beyond comparison a more successful poet than Robert Browning.
The same thing is true of all the arts. The greatest musical composers were pure Germans, but the works of the Jew Mendelssohn have sold far better than those of Bach and Beethoven. The greatest painters are hardly ever the most popular. I cannot speak with authority about science, but I have heard such contempt for scientific knights and newspaper scientists, that I strongly suspect that the same principle applies.
I do not know whether Hitler is correct in his remarks about the Jews. He does, however, make a distinction between value and success which would have the unanimous support of intelligent critics.

Not a racist or a sexist, no sir, certainly not! [Pharyngula]
The Republican candidate for Senate from North Carolina has shown a remarkable knack for moving up in the ranks, but he seems less sure what to do once he gets there.
AP
Thom Tillis is a man in a hurry. He went from city councilor to North Carolina House speaker in just five years. Four months into his second term as speaker, he was running for U.S. Senate. The man who would hand the Republicans control of the Senate has been a lot of things in a short amount of time. And while he seems to know where hes going, its less clear that he knows what hell do once he gets there.
Tillis started his political career as a city councilor in Cornelius, a wealthy suburb of Charlotte. In 2006, after a single term, he upset a Republican incumbent in a primary for a state House seat. Like all freshmen, Tillis arrived in Raleigh as a backbencher, but he quickly impressed his Republican colleagues, who chose him freshman leader. In just his second term, he joined the House GOP leadership as minority whip.
Despite the drubbing Republicans took in North Carolina in 2008, Tillis saw an opportunity and took a gamble. In 2009, he left his job as a $500,000-a-year business consultant and worked tirelessly in the 2010 election to recruit and elect GOP candidates. Safe in his own seat, Tillis crisscrossed the state helping House candidates organize and raise money. The bet paid off when Republicans won control of the House in the 2010 landslide. Tillis impressed enough members and accrued enough favors that he was narrowly chosen speaker over House Minority Leader Skip Stam, a six-term veteran. The more socially conservative Stam became majority leader.
The Republican Establishment Strikes Back
The 2011 session of the legislature marked the first time in North Carolina in more than a century that Republicans controlled both houses of the General Assembly. Tillis arrived with ambition and a pocket full of political IOUs but few legislative accomplishments. And while previous speakers, both Democrat and Republican, brought years of experience and relationships to the job, Tillis had only two terms in the House and one in the GOP leadership.
In contrast, his Senate counterpart, President Pro Tempore Phil Berger, spent 10 years in the Senate watching his predecessor, Democrat Marc Basnight, run a disciplined and focused caucus. Berger understood both the formal and informal rules of the legislature and the dynamics that made it work. He also had a veto-proof majority, something Tillis lacked in the House. After six years of quickly climbing the political ladder, Tillis initially seemed to focus on passing legislation and maintaining peace in his caucus. He and Berger appeared to work well together. They held joint press conferences, and most of their legislative priorities aligned.
Tempered by Democratic Governor Bev Perdue and the House Democrats, Tillis and Berger pushed an agenda that would later seem modest. They ended a one-cent sales tax, put a constitutional amendment on the ballot to ban gay marriage, required counseling before an abortion, cut funding to public schools and universities, and implemented tort reform. Most importantly, they passed a gerrymandered redistricting map that ensured their electoral success in 2012.
If Tillis put his ambition on hold during the 2011 legislative session, it reappeared in 2012. This time, it caused problems within his caucus and with Berger. Both men were rumored to be looking at Democrat Kay Hagans U.S. Senate seat. The pair seemed to be staking out opposing political ground. In a state that had narrowly voted for Obama in 2008, Tillis tried to build his credentials as a moderate. He made compensation for victims of the states eugenics program his top legislative priority and supported a measure to expand gambling on the Cherokee reservation in western North Carolina. Members of his caucus publicly criticized him for not holding to conservative principles.

Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) September 29, 2014
Tomitribe (http://www.tomitribe.com), leading provider of enterprise services and support for Apache TomEE, today announced its launch of the Tomitribe Community Partnership Program at JavaOne 2014. The partnership program is a business and developer community driven effort to keep Open Source sustainable and successful.
The Tomitribe Community Partnership Program makes Open Source Software (OSS) function as a sustainable resource within businesses, allowing increased collaboration between businesses and the OSS community, said Tomitribe CEO and Founder David Blevins. "Two things are very clear when you look at our industry: most Open Source communities are talent rich and highly collaborative environments, but struggle with sustainability and lack resources; many business environments are resource rich, but struggle finding talent and lack internal collaboration. We are the answer to each other's problems."
The Tomitribe Community Partnership Program is a packaged service offering with dedicated resources, training, community development, professional services and enterprise support for Apache TomEE, Tomcat and the Java EE community of projects at Apache. The blend of services with 24/7 technical support at an incomparable value is a new sustainability model for the Open Source eco-system while fostering greater collaboration and innovation in businesses.
Apache TomEE is the Java Enterprise Edition 6 Web Profile Certified edition of Apache Tomcat, the worlds most popular Java application server software, with more than 70% market penetration within the enterprise. Winning an Oracle Dukes Choice Award and Geek Choice Award at JavaOne 2014, TomEE is the answer for enterprises desiring greater application portability between Tomcat and other Java EE certified servers.
Tomitribe developers and management will be at exhibit #5001 to share current developments for TomEE and details of the Tomitribe Community Partnership Program.
Piloting a new way of connecting businesses with the Open Source community is just scratching the surface of unlocking the deeper potential of the Open Source eco-system, said Theresa Nguyen, Tomitribe VP of Sales and Marketing. We are optimistic about the harmony of both worlds developing into a strong system.
In addition to exhibitor presence, David Blevins will deliver key technical sessions and participate in expert panels.

Visakhapatnam, Sept. 29:
Students should aim at becoming entrepreneurs rather than hunting for jobs in big companies, said Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu hereon Monday after inaugurating a technology park.
He was interacting with students after inaugurating the Technology Research and Innovation Park Sunrise Start-up -- powered by the AP Government and the Start-up Village. Citing the example of Bill Gates, he said students should make all efforts to develop the creativity within themselves. He the Government was keen on encouraging creative minds and it was trying to create a start-up eco-system.
In the first phase, 17,000 square feet is going to be thrown open for industries at the Sunrise Start-up on Hill 3 in Rushikonda IT Park. Provisionally four companies have been allocated space in the incubation area and another 10 companies have been allocated space in the Incubation Centre.
The 10 companies, including Trigeo Technologies Pvt Ltd, Tessolve, Avvas Infotech Pvt Ltd, Sinofic, Logic Planet, Lampex Electronics Ltd, Naina Power Pvt Ltd, Inspired IT Solutions Ltd, Epace Tecnologies and Objectone Information System, are aiming at creating direct employment to 6,000 professionals and to bring in investment of over Rs 200 crore.
Earlier, the students had a an interaction session with Executive Vice-Chairman of Infosys Kris Gopalakrishnan.
The distinction between services and products is getting blurred, and what is being considered a product is soon becoming a service in the Information and Communication Technology sector, Gopalakrishnan told aspiring student entrepreneurs.
He explained the essence of entrepreneurship to students and the importance of the facility provided by the start-up village. Students with an idea can come to the Sunrise Startup and get it incubated and once it is developed into a product, they can move out and set up their own enterprise.
When asked why Indian IT majors were not looking at technology start-ups and accelerators, Gopalakrishnan pointed out that companies like Microsoft or Google promote start-ups and technology accelerators to promote development of applications and services using their platforms whereas Indian IT majors were not into product development.
Recalling his experience when he set up Infotech, founder and Executive Chairman of Cyient BV R Mohan Reddy said that the aspiring entrepreneurs have an advantage of getting access to facilities provided by the the Sunrise Start-up. The facility is the best thing that could happen to aspiring entrepreneurs, it would create an IT incubator eco-system in Visakhapatnam, he said.
