Friends of Golden Gateway a community club with city wide impact ~ www.fogg.us |
We define and organize opposition to the proposed condominium development at 8 Washington Street, the site of the Golden Gateway Tennis & Swim Club. Menu
Links |
Please go to our new web site www.fogg.us But the GGTSC is in peril. A developer has plans to demolish it and put condos and a parking garage up in its place. True, the developer has promised a greatly expanded health club; however, all outdoor facilities would suffer. At least five of the tennis courts would be gone, the lap pool would be smaller and there is no guarantee that there would even be a rec pool. The airy pavilion is not part of their plan at all. Also, the outdoor areas would be on the north, heavily shaded side of the building above street level, pools surrounded by only concrete instead of grass and trees. And, of course, during the years of construction, there would be no outdoor facilities at all. (see The Case) The city thus stands to lose this invaluable resource adjacent to downtown and along the Embarcadero. A delightful open space would be replaced by walls of garages and a large 8 story rectangular block of condos. It is not too late to stop the demolition of this precious resource, however. YOU can help preserve the current club, keep it as open space the way it was originally intended when it was built and preserve a facility that is invaluable not just to members but to the city as a whole. Friends of Golden Gateway believe that sane, thoughtful development is one of the major issues, if not THE major issue, that San Francisco faces in the coming years. We see the potential development of this property as emblematic of the larger problem of wrong-headed development in the city as a whole. At issue, no doubt about it, is whether San Francisco will become a second-class city, featuring a bundle of high rises punctuated by cold and windy canyons of streets. It will take diligence and effort by concerned residents to hold the feet of the members of the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors and the mayor to the fire and make them adhere to codes and rules already in place with regard to development and open space. This web site is dedicated to informing you of the current status of our efforts to preserve this valuable San Francisco open-space. Here are summaries of the sections that may interest you: The Case : The history of the Golden Gateway as part of a Planned Unit Development created by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency in 1960. Why we believe the rules of that development support our position that the GGTSC should not be demolished to make way for condos - and should be preserved as open-space. Map: Map of the area and location of the GGTSC You May Lose...: A list of some of the many activities that are threatened by the current plans for development of the site. Donations: Please help out with donations to cover legal expenses and other costs being incurred to fight this threat. Politics: How do the mayoral (even the district attorney) candidates stand on this issue? What have the supervisors and members of the Planning Commission said? Meetings: Notice of the next meeting of the committee when and where. Do join us to learn more about this issue and how you can get involved. Petitions: One way to help is to distribute and sign petitions to take to the Board of Supervisors and to the Planning Commission. Find out how to get involved in the petition drive here. Addresses: Here youll find the addresses and phone numbers of all the members of the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors so that you can contact them personally. Time Line: Upcoming and historically significant events that you should be aware of. Timing is critical. We need to act NOW. Contact Us: Contact members of the Friends of Golden Gateway if you have questions, if you want more information, if you can give some time or get involved in any way. |

Mobile technology is no longer limited to laptops, smartphones and tablets. It's seeping into every corner of our lives, including television and movies, cars, the workplace, health care, education and eventually our bodies.
This expansion of mobile, and its next generation of highly mobile tech users, were the subject of Monday's Consumer Electronics Show keynote. Delivered by chip maker Qualcomm's chief executive Paul Jacobs, the talk marked the official kickoff of the show, which opens its doors Tuesday morning.
The CES keynote address was previously handled by Microsoft, a company whose products are instantly familiar to consumers around the world. Successor Qualcomm isn't a household name, even though it says it has shipped 11 billion chips in its 27 years and its mobile processors power the mobile devices you use everyday.
The challenge for Qualcomm on Monday was to illustrate how its technology is relevant to regular consumers. The resulting talk was as scattered and entertaining as its rooster of special guest stars, which included "Sesame Street's" Big Bird, Archbishop Desmond Tutu (via video), filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski, "Star Trek" actress Alice Eve and pop band Maroon 5.
But the biggest guest star for this tech audience may have been Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who ran out on stage to giddily show off three new Windows 8 products.
The event kicked off with a skit featuring young actors playing stereotypes of the most annoying people you've ever been stuck behind in a Starbucks line. An OMG-spouting popular girl, a gamer geek who talks like a surfer and a Silicon Valley wannabe entrepreneur. What tied these characters together was the theme of the event: they were all "born mobile."
The primarily mobile phenomenon is international. According to Jacobs, 84% of people worldwide say they can't go a day without their mobile device. The smartphone interface is so commonplace, people now want it on their other devices. The Android mobile operating system is already expanding beyond smartphones and tablets to smart TVs, cameras and Google's Project Glass smart glasses.
Qualcomm's chips have an even broader reach, appearing in smart TVs, game consoles, home automation devices and even cars. During its keynote Qualcomm showed how its technology can be used to enable wireless charging for electric vehicles.
The tech industry assumes that eventually, everything will be connected to the Internet, with cars, household appliances and mobile devices all communicating with each other. The concept, called the "Internet of Things," has been kicking around for many years, but a recent boom in low-cost sensors and popular gadgets like the Nest smart thermostat have led to more gadgets that successfully add Web connectivity.
For example, wearable health monitors could be used to notify you or your doctor as soon as something is wrong with your vital signs.

Alberto Contador Fails Drug Test
103 posts
• Page 3 of 3 • 1, 2, 3
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestTo be precise, you have to have been banned for 6 months or more. Less than that and the rule doesn't apply.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestRight - that's why I posted that eurosport link in response to jazzcyclist.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug Test
True - ever hear of anyone banned for less than 6 months anymore?
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestJamaicans, the last two years.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug Test
The plot thickens. While I can find no end of references to "6 months or more," I now also find this on TrackAlerts, relative to the Shelly Fraser case: <<...According to the IOC, many misinterpreted the rule. In their reply to TA, the IOC stated: "Each doping case is of course different and subject to potential legal procedures, but the IOC's rules, which came into force just before Beijing in July 2008, are clear: The Osaka rule states very clearly that any athlete sanctioned for more than six months will be banned from participation in the next edition of the Games." "This rule is still valid and applies to all athletes. So in the case of Shelly-Ann Fraser, who was banned for six months and no longer, the Osaka rule does not apply and she is eligible for the London Games should she qualify."
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestOnly one year!! that's mighty white of them. The face of the sport gets caught and he only gets a year. How many years does Joe Blow get?
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug Test
Joe Blow gets ten games because Joe Blow is in a 'major' sport. This is the Spanish Fed, which has been a little light in the anti-doping brigades (the little Spanish star heard on many tapes, whose first several weeks of response was 'I did not sell drugs' rather than I did not have anything to do with them), is a Spanish Fed official), was being looked at intensely so as not to just pass it off as a mistake. Contador (0) is appealing, but so might WADA (2 years).
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestSpanish federation reverses course, plans to "clear" Contador
http://www.universalsports.com/news/art ... 17625.html A perfect example of why we have WADA.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestThis, unfortunately, has undercurrents of the Spanish system (including comments from the Federation and the government) and reticence to pursue things effectively.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestThis is why athletes continue to cheat. They have people (i.e. friends in high places and governments) willing to help them out in getting away with it for the "greater good".
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestLooks like he gets to keep his Tour victory and can race in this year's Tour. WADA can appeal the decision though.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug Testfrom Cyclingnews:
"Although Contador and his legal team were unable to produce a sample of the meat that they have claimed was tainted with the clenbuterol that resulted in the positive test, the fact that it could not be shown conclusively that Contador had deliberately taken the product worked in his favour." http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/confirmed-alberto-contador-cleared-of-clenbuterol-charges "El País is among the newspapers reporting that the four lawyers on the committee may also have been swayed by a tweet posted last Thursday night by Spanish prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero that said "there are no legal grounds for sanctioning Contador". The newspaper adds that the committee spent the weekend mulling over their decision and were expecting to announce it officially on Monday, but were delayed by the complexity of the argument explaining their decision to absolve Contador." The testing agencies can never show conclusively that an athlete had deliberately taken the product. What is more, the only thing that was new between the original 'verdict' and this revision is that pressure was brought to bear, as far as I can tell.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestWhatever happens with Contador and WADA/CAS, one thing's for sure - they need to move that test for plasticizers into standard testing protocol.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug Test
The thing is, they can use the test for plasticizers. They could not use it to ban him but they can to indicate that this offered explanation has some counter evidence. In that case, it should be easier to reject the 'easy-out' Spanish solution. How do you get this hinging on following Spanish law on when he is notified. How does that pattern inhibit his defense or matter in any way here. This is not a criminal prosecution with a different standard for evidence etc. I certainly hope that WADA appeals this.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestCAS rules, stripping Contador of 2010 Tour win, and issuing retroactive 2-year ban. Will miss this years Tour, as well as Olympics.
http://www.universalsports.com/news-blo ... ped+banned http://www.tas-cas.org/d2wfiles/documen ... .02.06.pdf
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestTragic... another cyclist falls victim of those damn Spanish beefsteaks!
Alberto Contador Suspended for Two YearsAnd stripped of his 2010 Tour and 2011 Giro titles.
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/cas-san ... terol-case
Re: Alberto Contador Suspended for Two YearsWasn't Lance third in 2010, now second? Before we know it he may end up actually winning the 2010 tour, LOL.
Re: Alberto Contador Suspended for Two Years
He was third in 2009.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug Test
Appeals what? The confirmation of his doping? The backdated penalties? They were due to the endless appeals. Not his issue (technically)
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug Testmal - that post you're quoting is from last February(2011)
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestTo me, it's really silly, and accomplishes nothing, to suspend and strip the titles from individual competitors in a sport where doping was ridiculously widespread.
People bash on what Major League Baseball did, and it isn't perfect, but they have the basic framework right-- there was a "steroids era" when they weren't testing for all these things and while the Mitchell Report and the Barry Bonds case named some names, they aren't going to go back and erase the record books. That's much better than scapegoating a few unfortunate ones who got caught doing what almost everyone, or everyone, else was doing.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestHonest question: What cyclist doesn't dope?
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug Test
I think the sport is as clean now as its been in years as evidenced by the slow times across the board at last year's Tour de France. Similarly, I know a couple of well-respected track coaches who feel that 2007 was the cleanest year of the World Championship era.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug Test
Eddy M was quoted as saying to not make too much of the times, as wind and other factors play a role (and the wind was an issue last year, and they worked hard just to get to the bottom, so they were compromised. Still, he said that they sport will never be 100% clean but he thinks that it is pretty clean now ~95%, IIRC.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestaAlthough the test confirmed the actus reus (the positive test), I don't know whether Contador had the mens rea (that is he knowingly took a PED) element. Only Contador will ever know that.
Is Contador a drug cheat in the mold of Ben Johnson. The Court of Arbitration has ruled "yes". Or is he really in the category of a Rick Demont? I don't know much about the subject but the reports say he had miniscule amount of Clenbuterol in his system that could conceivably have come from an over the counter food supplement. If that is what happened I feel sorry for the guy. If he is a ben Johnson then he got his just deserts. But if it is that easy to get "contaminated" would you ever want to buy food from countries like China where adding all manner of drugs and other crap into food is a national past time. Melamine into milk powder because it gives high but false protein readings - never mind that it kills babies. Yes, life as an athlete was much easier in the 1970s when I was competing. I can only say that I am glad I was never personally exposed to PEDs. At WSU I am confident no one was on PEDs. I remember there was one thrower who quit WSU because Coaches Mooberry and Chaplin wouldn't help this guy get access to them. He left WSU pretty quickly and transferred to another school. 6 months later when I saw him he had put on a massive amount of weight and had stretch marks across his pecs. I guess it was worth it for him because his distances also had improved very significantly.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug Test
But the G.C. contenders don't catch any wind on the flats, so they should have still arrived at the base of the climbs as fresh as in previous years. And once you start climbing, wind isn't much of a factor unless we're talking about Mount Ventoux. And remember, while Contador and the Schlecks were slower than in previous years, Evans matched his times from previous years. And they were slower on all the major climbs, not just one of them. viewtopic.php?p=711259#p711259
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug Test
Or they're microdoping.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug Test
They caught a lot of wind because Contador jumped and then there was a lot of chasing in small groups with Evans, the Schlecks, Contador, etc all working hard for a long time before the finish.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug TestGlad to see Andy Shleck get his deserved win.
Re: Alberto Contador Fails Drug Test
Are you talking about the Alpe D'Huez? If so, what about the Galibier, Luz Ardiden and Plateau de Beille? And even on Alpe D'Huez Frank Schleck and Evans never caught any wind. http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-d ... 011/stages

Excellent product By abi on 4/29/13
abi would recommend this product to a friendGreat pump! My municipal water pressure was at 29 psi this pump brought it all the way up to 60 psi with room to increase the pressure! Excellent for my 150 gpd rodi water saver plus unit. -
Great product By retnip on 4/15/13
retnip would recommend this product to a friendThis is really a neat little pump, it comes with everything you would need to boost the pressure to your ro system. It boosted my pressure from 45lbs to around 90lbs. It is a little noisy and needs to be mounted to something so it dosnt walk around. Its easy to hook up, just snip out a short section of supply hose, and a short section of the hose that goes to your storage tank to insert the pressure switch. When you float rises, the pump will shut off automatically. -
Works Great! By Christy on 4/13/13
Christy would recommend this product to a friendThis works great! Bought the 75gpd RO/DI unit and when I got it set up I was VERY disappointed to find I only had about 30 psi and a periodic trickle of filtered water coming out. Purchased the booster pump and patiently (not really lol) waited for it to come so I could get rolling on curing the dry rock I previously purchased. Hooked it up and started getting nearly 100 psi!! Had to turn it back a little. Now pulling a steady 80 psi at 0 tds and have my rock curing in the basement!! :-) Next purchase might just have to be the converter kit to increase my unit to the 150 gpd now that I have the pump and know it could handle it!! :-) -
great solved my low pressure problem By chen yang on 3/30/13
chen yang would recommend this product to a friendbefore the pump i was getting around 45 psi at best. after I installed this , which was super easy! I got around 95 psi. so i have to dialed down a bit to around 80 psi. i am really happy that i can finally utilize full of my ro di unit. none of the other big aquarium online store offer booster pump kit and instrucitons. thank you brs! -
Time is money By greenwizard on 3/25/13
greenwizard would recommend this product to a frienddoubled my water output. -
Wonderful! By Terrie on 3/13/13
Terrie would recommend this product to a friendAbsolutely worth every $1 spent for it. My water makes in 1/2 the time it use to and I do go through less Di Resin :) -
Great Product By Toby on 3/12/13
Toby would recommend this product to a friendI get 60psi from my municipal water supply. When someone is using water, it's alot less. This eliminates the problem. Im getting 90psi constantly. 1# Doubles production 2# Better rejection rate.,reduces TDS before the DI canisters from 14 before the pump to 7-8 TDS. Saves DI Resin. -
Well worth it. By Bob on 2/24/13
Bob would recommend this product to a friendI was only getting 42 PSI with my home water pressure on a 75 GPD
RO/DI unit. I added a 150 GPD upgrade kit and this pump and get a steady 88 PSI. It is a very quiet pump and fills my 32 gal. can in half the time. I am very pleased with this product. -
Easy Installation By Jeremy on 2/22/13
Jeremy would recommend this product to a friendMy pressures were borderline with running a second membrane. This was installed very quickly and the output was improved drastically. -
Superb By Edward on 2/15/13
Edward would recommend this product to a friendWas getting only 28-30PSI before getting this unit. I live in an old factory converted to a high rise apartment complex.
I initially looked on ebay for a cheap unit, but after adding it all up, you really arent saving much money. I spent the extra $20 or so on the Aquatec 8800 kit from BRS and am very happy that I did.
After installing this, I get a steady 90PSI. My RO/DI output is a steady stream of water where it used to be a couple drips per second.
Pump is quiet, installation a breeze. I highly recommend this product. -
Pump it up By LOUIS on 2/15/13
LOUIS would recommend this product to a friendSo this certainly improved my RO/DI unit in combination with the 75gl extra membrane. I wasn't getting the amount the video stated till I understood that I needed the extra pressure. I am glad I got the full kit and not just the pump. I like it when all the parts needed are on hand and just to be installed instead of tracking down all the parts to actually use the pump. Less water to waste and collect for other use's helps with the water bill. -
Allows me to use my RO/DI Unit with a Well By Miles on 2/13/13
Miles would recommend this product to a friendI purchased this kit when last year when I moved to the country. I use it in conjunction with the Auto Shutoff Kit and am able to let my RO/DI system run continuously (if I forget to turn it off). This pump has brought me up from 40 PSI to 70PSI. I initially had to adjust it the output down from 90 PSI but have not had any problems with it. It is by no means silent, but I have it in my unfinished basement and can't hear it upstairs.

by Marc on January 22, 2013, @12:45 AM
I have a drinking water 4 stage RO system that has an Auto Shut Of Valve as well as a pressure tank. I would like to order the booster pump kit and install in on my system. Where does the pressure switch go in regards to the 4 lines coming in and out of the ASOV?
Thanks for your help!Bulk Reef Supply Hey Marc,
Great question. The pressure switch goes on the product water line, which would be the blue line, after the auto shut shut off valve. If you haven't seen it yet, checkout our booster pump video. It has a quick run down on how the installation goes as well.

10-Apr-2012 | Good | Great service, great products, great experience. | |
26-Mar-2012 | Good | Great, but had to return as a sale purchase and size was not correct. | |
22-Jan-2012 | Poor | Not a good match to the photo on the website and there is simply no way this item is the size that it is labelled as. It's so tight I could not even get it on. | We work hard to ensure our products are depicted accurately so I do apologise of we haven't pinned this one down quite correctly and we'll take your feedback on board. I'm also sorry to learn that the cut of our Black Label suits isn't a good fit for you – thank you for bringing this to our attention and we'll take your feedback on board. |
15-Jan-2012 | Excellent | fantastic suit, as always | |
08-Jan-2012 | Good | Good quality products and good range but sizes seem to vary a bit. I ordered same size as my last suit which fits perfectly and it is smaller fitting. The trousers in particular are tight. Knowing this plus the fact that returning items is jot free is a deterrent to mail order. | |
08-Jan-2012 | Poor | The customer service is very good but the quality of the products seems to have dropped significantly in the last couple of years. Such a shame as the brand used to be a byword for quality. | |
30-Dec-2011 | Excellent | Perfect. |

Clog slippers are a reminder of the fact that footwear doesn't have to be about pointy toes, painful heels, sweaty feet and tiring soles. Clogs for women are nothing less than heaven sent. Women love all kinds of shoes but slipper clogs, especially the fleece clog slippers are something that once worn are hard to take off.
Keeping all this in mind, the collection of clog slippers available here, is all about coziness, forget-your-shoes comfort and slipper clogs that are great-to-go-with-sleepwear.
Get your hands on these lovely clogs for women and you'll have a hard time getting back to the heels.

2011 Gerard Morin Sancerre Vieilles Vignes
"Tasted from tank, into which it had been assembled just two weeks beforehand, the Morin 2011 Sancerre Vieilles Vignes – which will as usual be a cuvee solely for the U.S. market, and bottled unfiltered – brims with bright lime and grapefruit; apple and honeydew melon, offering a lovely balance between lees-enrichment and refreshing vivacity. There is a chalky sense of mineral impingement to the vibrantly zesty, invigorating, yet persistently succulent finish of this buoyant (incidentally, 12.7% alcohol) Sancerre that should drink well for the next 3-4 years if not beyond."

The equation for maximizing your efficiency is simple: keep that CNC machine running. So when it's time to set up a job or change your workpiece, your best clamping solution is simple, too: the Chick Workholding Qwik-Lok.
Our System 5 Qwik-Loks can be custom-configured in a workholding package that has been designed for your CNC machine. Follow the link below and choose a machine manufacturer; you'll be able to refine your choice on the pages that follow.
Our product numbers help you find the right size for your machine!
Finding the right Chick product for your needs is simple because our product numbers tell you exactly what width and length you're getting. Take a look:
The first two digits of our product number reflect the width of the jaw set. The second two digits reflect the length.
So if you need a workholding product that is
- 100mm (or about 4") wide and
- 400mm (or about 15 3/4") long, then the product you want is a 1040.
100mm W x 400mm L = Chick product number 1040

Re: Mt Coot-tha training10.37 this morning on the back climb, beat my PB by 24 seconds on last time.
Getting closer to the 10min bracket now ....yeah
Re: Mt Coot-tha training
That is a good time Le Velo. I was there this morning too. Was heading for a sub 10 minute time, but bonked in the last 500 m, ended up with 10:56. Oh well, there is next week... Lots of mountain bikers up there this morning, must be training for the challenge next month. Cheers. Merida Scultura Evo 909 Full Dura Ace (Weekender) & Merida HFS 904 Com Full Ultegra (Trainer)

Re: Mt Coot-tha training
Thanks .... Lots of people out there this morning yes, Trekkers, runners and cyclist of course and too right I think people are training for the challenge indeed .... That's my plan too. Never thought I could to that time but I just went and aim for the best ....l no to raise the bar and aim for a 10 if not below
Re: Mt Coot-tha training
Well done mate... smashing it. Friday I had a bus chasing me up there. He didn't want to overtake so sat behind me for about 500m until passing me at channel ten. Damn I thought I could hold him too... I'll be there Tue and Thurs this week.. I bought a set of climbing wheels yesterday.. can't wait to give them a run. Won't happen this week though. Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
Re: Mt Coot-tha training
Thanks comedian, still a way To go to the 10 and under target but slowly and surely, it think it's been my 5th attempt on the back so wrapped with that as my training doesn't involve much climbing. Climbing wheel? What did you get? I actually had the full carbon reynolds 46 on this morning as it wasn't planned to do the climb until the other guys said so and surprisingly they climbed very well
Re: Mt Coot-tha training
Durace c24's. Will be interesting to see if there is much difference. Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.

Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingInwood and I have been training for the challenge...
We both went seperately on saturday. I won't say his time (will let him), but I did it twice first time 12:08 (2 seconds better than last time) second time 12:59 (30 seconds better than last time). did 2 full loops (i.e. not just up and down) which I think is a bit of an advantage as it gives you time to recover. New PB of 12:08 and felt good.
Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingAnyone else be there in the morning?
Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.

Mt Coot-tha trainingHmmm nice morning up there today. Saw some dudes who were about a minute ahead of me get pulled by the cops going down the front on the first descent after the summit.
I'm a bit conflicted on this.. I don't condone speeding but I've seen too many people approach the t intersection struggling to stop with shagged brakes after dragging them down. Better to sail down and arrive with fresh brakes IMHO. Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
Re: Mt Coot-tha training
What is the speed limit going down? I would've got booked as I hit 72.2 going down the front today ..... decided to skip lunch and give it a crack again today but was 10 sec slower than sunday .... argh ..... at least I went out and up Another 55k in the legs
Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingIt's a 60km/h zone down past the gardens. Be careful on the streets around Bardon and Stuartholme Rd, plenty are 50 zones. I got flashed by a speed camera on Stuartholme Dr the other week. I didn't realise it was a 50 zone.

Re: Mt Coot-tha training
ha! are you doing the BDO coot-tha challenge?
Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingHad my first crack at Cootha on the weekend. I havent ridden it for at least 2 years - and even then i only ever rode from the gardens to Summit cafe up the front side. So you cant even really call it the Cootha climb.
So I rode from Runcorn to Coro drive - had a banana - rode my way to Cootha, took it easy as i wanted to finish it without blowing. Went the anti-clockwise loop. Ended up with a time of about 11:30mins. Rode back home and added 2 Mt Gravatt climbs on the way. Pretty good ride. Im no lightweight (82kgs) but i reckon i can knock it below 11mins next time. Biggest factor was that i didnt really know where the KOM line was - but now im abit more familiar i can pace myself better. Sub 10mins is probably a pipedream tho haha
Re: Mt Coot-tha training
Hmm. I dont ride with a bike computer (i log my rides on Strava for the iphone tho) - and as far as im aware i am not legally required to have a speedo. How would the po-po go about booking me for speeding if i cant tell the exact speed im travelling? Or are they just giving out warnings not fines...?
Re: Mt Coot-tha training
I'd say you'd get done for careless or dangerous riding rather than speeding.
Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingI was wondering the above too. I don't yet have a speedo, so don't know how fast I've gone til I check strava or runkeeper (on my android phone) after my ride.
Does anyone know if it's a legal requirement to have a speedometer on a bicycle? Litespeed Tuscany & Trek 8000 rigid MTB
Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingits a legal requirement not to speed, so how you manage that on a bike is your own problem to solve...

Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingInteresting. Wonder what also happens if you get stopped and you don't own a drivers license? I presume it's just a fine then as they cant take any points off you.

But she didn't. She didn't keep a baseball bat beside the bed. She kept a gun. And killed him.
He might have survived a baseball bat.
What could have been has nothing to do with what is. She shot him...with a gun...and he is dead.
I do not blame it on the gun. it is the fault of the person who had the gun. I hope she will be held accountable.
Either way -though - blame her or the gun - her husband is no less dead.
Geez, and it wasn't even in the middle of the night or something. Seems a little fishy...I hope she gets some charges pressed too.
"Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything."
If it was intentional, she should be charged with manslaughter or murder (not sure of the necessary elements in the state). If it was accidental, she has a life sentence anyway. How very tragic.
It wasn't the gun's fault, of course, it was the fault of the untrained woman that held the gun. Like ES said, it is very possible he would have survived the baseball bat attack, or the pepper spray attack, a knife attack, or the alarm on the front door going off. Guns tend to make things so final.
Another "opps!" moment. Man shoots son... http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012...enage-son?lite
So what do you think would have happened if the father had not had a gun?
"I don't know which weapons will be used in the third World war, but in the fourth, it will be sticks and stones" --- Albert Einstein.
I really find it funny that people are 'up in arms' about an incident where stupidity starts and ends the event.
This stupid kid is dressed in a balaclava and playing ninja in the middle of the night.
The stupid father, instead on hunkering down, calling the cops and waiting?
He plays BBA, goes out and shoots his kid.
So, who really is at fault?
George Zimmerman??? He made it "fashionable" to shoot based on fashion choices.
Is fault the issue? I am always amazed about people who think that who is at "fault" is the first question to ask. The kid is no less dead, the dad is no less devastated regardless of "fault."
I have my opinion of "fault". But in the end...guns kill - that what they are made to do.
10,000 rounds of ammunition. That's what the Minneapolis shooter had.
In addition to killing the owner of the company and a couple of co-workers, he shot the FedEx guy who was making a delivery.
Who shall we blame this one on?? People who get fired??
I blame the government for letting anyone other than the police run around with a loaded gun. Who will be next?

- Friday, May 24, 8:33 AM What's Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB) up to? It's snatching profits away from banks as it increasingly purchases loans directly from lenders, cutting out those used to making good money by packaging mortgages into securities. "We don't play this big of a role because we want to," modestly says CEO Tim Mayopoulos. "(We have) no goal relative to market share, except to reduce it," says another spokesman. The lenders (JPM, WFC) seeing profits vanish aren't so sure. 9 Comments [Financials]
- Friday, May 17, 2:59 PM Wells Fargo (WFC) and Citigroup (C) have halted the vast majority of foreclosure sales in numerous states following the release of new standards from the OCC, reports the American Banker. Harkening back to the days of the robo-signing scandal, Wells' foreclosure sales across 5 westerns states dropped to fewer than 10 per day in April from more than 300 previously. JPMorgan (JPM) also slowed sales, but has returned to normal activity. BofA (BAC) is proceeding as usual. 1 Comment [Financials, U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, May 14, 10:05 AM Commerzbank (CRZBY.PK) is in "intensive" talks to unload the bulk of its €5.7B portfolio of U.K property loans to Wells Fargo (WFC) and P-E fund Lone Star. The disclosure was made in the prospectus for its capital raise launched today. About a month ago it was reported the parties were in exclusive talks for the assets in what could be a sweet deal for the buyers. Comment! [Financials]
- Wednesday, May 8, 10:43 AM KeyCorp's (KEY) big move (up 22% YTD vs. 14% for KBE) is unjustified, according to KBW's Chris Mutascio, who's had a Sell on the stock for most of the run. Four other large regionals - WFC, USB, BBT, FITB - are better bargains as they sport lower P/E multiples despite higher ROAs and (for 3 of the 4) far larger ROEs. 3 Comments [Financials]
- Monday, May 6, 8:52 AM Wells Fargo (WFC) +0.4% premarket as Warren Buffett tells CNBC Berkshire (BRK.A) has been adding to its stake "pretty much every month this year." Over the weekend, NY AG Schneiderman promised new enforcement actions against major financial firms, and expects "very significant liability." (Earlier: Schneiderman and Delaware AG Biden back off BofA). 2 Comments [Financials]
- Tuesday, April 30, 3:40 PM The IRS has been authorized by a judge to serve Wells Fargo (WFC) with a John Doe summons as the tax agency seeks data on U.S. citizens with accounts at FirstCaribbean International Bank. Based in Barbados, FCIB has a correspondent account with Wells - common for foreign banks who don't have offices in the States - and Wells is the IRS' way to the account info. 3 Comments [Financials]
- Monday, April 29, 10:26 AM Citigroup's (C) reluctance to pare its mortgage assets at fire-sale prices could pay off, says KBW, as it now stands to greatly benefit from rising home prices. It's a flow vs. stock argument as Citi - compared to WFC, JPM, or USB - does a relatively small amount of (now under profit-pressure) mortgage origination volume, but still has loads of questionable paper on its books. Also positioned to benefit is BAC. 3 Comments [Financials]
- Tuesday, April 23, 6:34 PM Wells Fargo & Company (WFC) declares $0.30/share quarterly dividend, 20% increase from prior dividend of $0.25. Forward yield 3.23%. For shareholders of record May 10. Payable June 01. Ex-div date May 08. (PR) 1 Comment [Dividends]
- Monday, April 22, 1:58 PM Wells Fargo (WFC) moves to add capacity in its mortgage origination operations, breaking ground on a 265K square foot expansion to its mortgage headquarters in Iowa. Wells - which has a 30% share of the lending market - is notably expanding as competitors like JPMorgan pull back and the MBA predicts a sizable lending slowdown this year. Comment! [Financials]
- Thursday, April 18, 9:09 AM Wells Fargo (WFC) and Lone Star are in exclusive talks to buy a $6.1B U.K property portfolio from Commerzbank's (CRZBY.PK) Eurohypo unit, reports Reuters, with a deal maybe being struck as soon as May. It may be a sweet deal for the buyers as Commerzbank is selling for what value investors like to call "non-economic" reasons. Comment! [Financials]
- Monday, April 15, 12:28 PM The Brown/Vitter bill being rolled out in Congress is essentially Armageddon to the TBTF banks, says Goldman, seeing it as mandating another $1.1T in equity for the banking system. Banks would need 12 years of earnings to build this amount organically, though the bill would give just 5 - say goodbye to lending. Break up the banks? BAC, C, JPM, and WFC all have multiple divisions with more than $400M in assets - the level at which the bill gets tough on lenders. 22 Comments [Financials]
- Friday, April 12, 11:24 AM Wells Fargo (WFC) unveils its "neighborhood bank format," a 1K square foot (vs. traditional 3K-4K) "store" for the digital age - paperless, wireless technology, large-screen ATMs. The initial location is set to be opened in D.C. on Monday. "We'll be able to offer person-to-person service ... in settings that previously would have discouraged us from building a store." (PR) Comment! [Financials]
- Friday, April 12, 10:17 AM The current environment is not ideal for earnings growth, says Wells Fargo (WFC -1.7%) CEO John Stumpf on the earnings call, touting his bank's diversity of revenue streams. Well, mortgage banking accounted for 26% of noninterest income (presentation) in Q1, and if you listen to Jamie Dimon, there's little business left for the banks to squeeze out of the HARP program. For Wells, mortgage profit of $2.8B in Q1 was off 9% sequentially, off 3% Y/Y. 4 Comments [Financials]
- Friday, April 12, 8:15 AM More on Wells Fargo (WFC) Q1 earnings: Loan growth of 4.3% Y/Y. Deposit growth of 6.3%. Net interest margin of 3.48%, down 8 bps Q/Q, down 43 bps from last year. $200M (about $0.04 of EPS) released from credit loss reserves. Bank expects continued releases throughout 2013. Mortgage banking income of $2.8B, off 8.9% Y/Y. Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.38%. Book value/share of $28.27. Shares -1.4% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Financials, Earnings]

The Colony Courier-leader > News
Nelson files bill targeting the shortage of primary care physicians in the state
By Marthe Stinton,
Published: Friday, December 21, 2012 2:05 PM CST
Health care has taken center stage during the legislative pre-filing period because of a shortage of primary care physicians in Texas. Right now, 18,000 primary care physicians serve about 25 million Texans, a number state Sen. Jane Nelson (R-Flower Mound) hopes to change.
Senate Bill 143 would establish the Primary Care Graduate Medical Education Expansion Program with the goal of increasing residency slots for primary care. This, Nelson said, would provide more incentives for doctors to remain in the state after graduation.
By 2016, at least 180 medical school graduates will have to leave the state for their first year of residency training due to a lack of residency positions, according to a report released this year by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.Ā
Those who leave the state for employment represent a $168,000 loss of investment, Nelson said.
"Texans cannot have access to health care unless there are enough physicians to provide it," Nelson said.Ā"A strong primary care workforce results in higher quality, more efficient health care with better patient outcomes at a lower cost."
New incentives for medical schools to improve graduation rates and develop innovative programs to increase the supply of primary care physicians, are also included. The bill, if passed, would allow physicians who agree to treat Medicaid or Texas Women's Health Program patients to participate in the Physician Education Loan Repayment Program.
According to the American Medical Association, the average 2011 medical student graduate accumulated $161,290Āin student loan debt.
Nelson said the state's changing demographics and the influx of new patients, who are required to obtain health insurance under federal law, will further strain the state's health care workforce.
"Texas has a well-documented shortage of primary care physicians," Nelson said. "Because primary care serves as the gateway to preventive care, specialty providers and a wide range of services, it is vital that we address our primary care workforce needs."
Nelson believes the bill will gain bipartisan support and has already gained traction as pre-filing for the 83rd Legislature continues.
"The need is too great for this issue to go unaddressed, and I will work to gather support for this issue to advance - both via legislation and in the appropriations process," she said. "So far, the response has been positive, and I am confident we will have strong support for this bill."

Eagle Scout Aaron Maynard soars
Aaron Maynard and his Eagle project
By JoAnn Talkington
Fewer than 2 percent of all Scouts reach the rank of Eagle. Even fewer accomplish as much as this Eagle Scout from Coppell, Texas. Aaron Maynard will be recognized on Feb. 19, but his Board of Review was on Nov. 20, 2012 -- making him a Centennial Eagle Scout. 2012 was the 100th Anniversary of the Eagle Scout.
Aaron Travis Maynard began his Scouting journey as a Tiger Cub in El Paso, Texas, with Pack 86 of St. Raphael's Parish. As a Bear Cub, Aaron relocated from El Paso to Coppell,Texas.
He continued along the Cub Scout path through Pack 846 of Mockingbird Elementary. Then after moving into our current home, Aaron transferred to Pack 850 at Town Center Elementary. He received the Arrow of Light Award in Cub Scouts and then crossed over to Boy Scout Troop 841 at St. Ann's Parish in April 2008.
With the the summer so busy and playing football in fall 2009, Scouting fell off of Aaron's radar. After Gregory Ludden invited Aaron to visit Troop 842, Aaron joined on Sept. 9, 2010. Aaron decided he wanted to continue along his Scouting path, thus making it a goal to reach Eagle by his 16th birthday.
He reached the rank of 2nd Class in October 2010, 1st Class in November 2010, Star in June 2011 and Life in January 2012. After completing NYLT, the National Youth Leadership Training, Aaron became the Senior Patrol Leader for Troop 842. Aaron was honored to be called out for the OA, Order of the Arrow, in March 2012. His membership was acquired through completion of the OA Ordeal in May 2012. As a new member of the Order of the Arrow, Aaron attended NOAC, the National Order of the Arrow Convention with the Circle Ten Council. He was the only Scout from Coppell, Texas, to attend NOAC 2012.
As a Life Scout, Aaron began planning his Eagle project and completing his Eagle required merit badges. Aaron finished his last required Eagle merit badge in May 2012 and his Eagle project in October 2012. Aaron celebrated his 16th birthday on Nov. 9 and reached the rank of Eagle as he passed his Eagle Board of Review on Nov. 20, 2012. He couldn't schedule things any faster, but he made the rank of EAGLE and "once an Eagle, always an EAGLE."
Aaron is now working on the Eagle Palms. There are three of them, Bronze, Gold and Silver. His First Palm can be earned after three months as an Eagle, thus just following this ceremony he is scheduled for his Eagle Bronze Palm Board of Review.
Each palm requires an additional five merit badges and three months of Scouting before your 18th birthday. Since Aaron just recently turned 16 and has 27 extra merit badges, he just needs to stay active in Scouting, which he loves. He has participated in multiple campouts and special events throughout his Scouting experience; however, his best camping experience was backpacking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. This hike required months of training and preparation.
The Grand Canyon Team received a special permit allowing them to camp at the bottom. This remarkable trip will never be forgotten by Aaron. Aaron is currently the Den Chief for the Tiger Cubs from Pack 850 of Town Center Elementary. That is the same pack where Aaron earned his Arrow of Light Award. This month, Aaron performed at the Pack 850 Blue & Gold Banquet as a magician.
Aaron's magic and Scouting have been entwined as he keeps challenging the National Scouting Office Innovations Team to consider a magic merit badge. This summer, the 2013 National Scout Jamboree will take place in its new home at the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve. Aaron will be attending the Jamboree with a group of 36 youth members and four leaders from our area. Five Troop 842 members will be joining Aaron along with 50,000 other Scouts. Aaron will once again be in a leadership position during this exciting journey.
The Order of the Arrow (OA) has recognized Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. This recognition provides encouragement for others to live these ideals as well. Arrowmen are known for maintaining camping traditions and spirit, promoting year-round and long term resident camping, and providing cheerful service to others.

NYLT trains Good Scouts to be Great Leaders!
Aaron completing National Youth Leadership Training (Winter 2011)
National Youth Leadership Training is an intense, 5 1/2-day, outdoor leadership training experience for youth troop, team, and crew leaders. The course goal is to prepare young men and women to become superior leaders in their troop, crew, district, council, and other organizations they belong to now, and in the future.
Participants learn to use current corporate leadership skills within the framework of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. BSA National carefully developed the NYLT curriculum with the input from current corporate trainers, the United States Air Force Academy, and others in the training community. When regional pilot courses of NYLT were completed, Wood Badge for the 21st Century (advanced adult leadership training), was aligned to the NYLT Course Syllabus. Graduates of this program become senior leadership in their troop, team, crew as well as leaders in their Schools, Churches and Communities.
The course is led and taught by some of the best youth leaders in the Council; all of whom are graduates of the NYLT program and typically have staffed multiple courses. The adult advisors who assist the Youth Staff are Wood Badge-trained with extensive experience in training programs.

Aaron's Eagle Scout Project
Aaron, with the help of mentor Scoutmaster David Lautzenheiser, designed and led the building of two TREX picnic tables for the Coppell Nature Park. The tables were placed at the trailhead near the bridge that divides Wagon Wheel Park. The table legs and structures were made out of more durable, long-lasting cedar. The bench and the tabletops were made out of 2-inch TREX. The TREX tables are aesthetic to the trailhead in their wood veneer and outdoor design. Families and groups that are hiking will benefit from being able to enjoy their picnic lunch there after trail hikes.
The tables were expensive and Aaron held three fundraisers to raise funds to build the tables. First, Aaron had a car wash at the 7-Eleven. Second, he sold hot dogs at Ace Hardware.
Lastly, he did some strolling magic at a table located at the front of the Coppell Farmers Market.
Aaron would like to give a special thanks to all of those who helped with the fundraising and construction of his Eagle project:
Nathan Arispe, Nicholas Arispe, Mr. Gilbert Arispe, Zak Cassidy, Kenneth Cole, Dominic Gaffney, Chris Goldman,Mr. Jeff Hallberg, Connor Halverson, Mark Jeska, Samir Jiwani, Andrew Lautzenheiser, Mr. David Lautzenheiser, Peyton LeBlanc, Avery McAnelly, Shashwath Murthy, Bryce Quonoey, Logan Quonoey, AJ Schuh, Aditya Sudha (Troop 840), Chandru Sundarrajan, Mr. Darren White, Joshua White and my parents Michael & JoAnn Talkington. Dad & Mom, I love you!

Aaron loves performing magic, playing baseball or his guitar. He volunteers his magical talents for the BNSF Make-A-Wish Train Ride and CookChildrens Hospital. He also loves hanging out with his friends, his nephew Zak and his dog Jake!
