August 20, 2007
By Wendy Soderburg, UCLA Today
Charles Corbett is totally perplexed as to why he won the UCLA Staff Assembly's 2007 Faculty/Staff Partnership Award - which is exactly why this associate professor of operations and environmental management deserved to win it.
The award honors a faculty member who has shown a commitment to the values of collaboration and collegiality by developing partnerships with staff. Yet when staff members in six different departments of the Anderson School of Management, where he teaches, enthusiastically endorsed Corbett for the award, he couldn't figure out why.
"When I first heard about the award, I wasn't sure how to react," Corbett said. "I enjoy working with people, but I never had the sense that I was actively building a partnership. It seems like you should be doing something a lot bigger, or more lasting, than just being collegial."
The staff members who nominated Corbett, though, would say his idea of "collegial" is far above the norm. Jennifer Maldonado Tooley, program manager for the Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, interacts regularly with Corbett through their work on an outreach program called Management Development for Entrepreneurs. Tooley manages this program for owners of small and medium-sized businesses; Corbett teaches one of the courses.
"It's my responsibility to get students prepared once they've been accepted. So I work with the faculty members to get advance readings and homework materials," Tooley said. "Charles provides not only the traditional bulleted list of required readings, he also outlines why each item is valuable and how each reading will be used in lecture. This makes my job of preparing entrepreneurs for the classroom much easier and provides much appreciated support to the participants."
Mary Ann Lowe, contributing editor of Assets magazine, listed three ways in which Corbett develops good working partnerships: "First, he is very cooperative. When Charles helps me with my articles, he understands that it's to benefit the school. Second, I have always seen him treat everyone with respect and courtesy. He is a gentleman in the very best sense of the word. And third, he is supportive of his co-workers. He not only compliments me on my work, he makes sure other key people are aware of my work as well."
The soft-spoken Corbett, born in Britain, speaks with a slight accent that he attributes to his years growing up in the Netherlands. "I think the existence of the Faculty/Staff Partnership Award is wonderful, although I don't feel I'm the right role model for it," he said, laughing. "At the same time, I do believe very strongly in collegiality across the board, so if the award helps to foster that atmosphere across the campus, then I think it's a great thing.
"But it feels a lot like getting an award for doing what you should be doing anyway!"

An Exploratory Mission—Secret Shred Agents And All
Originally published December 2005 TransWorld SNOWboarding
By Chris Coyle
For the two weeks prior to my trip to Korea, every person I told about my upcoming adventure would come back with the same two questions: "North Korea?" and "They got snowboarding there?" The latter of the two didn't bug me so much. For the most part, all most Americans know about Korea they learned from watching M*A*S*H reruns, so everyone thinks the whole nation is living in grass huts and trying to sell trinkets to a group of madcap surgeons. But the first question always killed me.
Who the hell do they think I am, some sort of an uber-spy? As if I'd assembled a crack team of pro-shred counter-terrorists to go deep behind enemy lines and take down the North Korean leader, Kim Jong II's nuclear weapons program. I can see it now: "Okay, Lukas, I'll slash some pow in Kim's face, and when he's blinded, you jib the deactivation button."
My mission started in a little-known town called Las Vegas. The first objective was to meet up with the troop commander, Tonino Copene, and surveillance expert Mark Welsh. Copene informed me that a top-notch squad of commandos was joining us, and for mission purposes, it would go under the code name: Team Nitro.
"Welsh and I decided to try to pass as drunk snowboarders. We knew this would be a dangerous task, something we couldn't just jump into haphazardly."
One obstacle was passing through customs incognito. Welsh and I decided to try to pass as drunk snowboarders. We knew this would be a dangerous task, something we couldn't just jump into haphazardly. We spent the entire night before pouring as much booze down our faces as possible. Upon arrival at the Las Vegas airport, it was clear our guise had worked. Not only did our clothes smell as if they'd been used to Swiffer a bar floor, but we also had trouble explaining where we were going to the ticket agent.
San Francisco was the meeting point for secret agents Lukas Huffman and Andrew Crawford. The rendezvous went as planned, and it was off to Korea. Still stinking like booze and googly-eyed, we had no problem sneaking past the customs agents on our arrival in Seoul either, but our cover was blown when we were mobbed by an entourage of digicam-wielding Koreans. We were left with only one option: to shred with extreme prejudice-aaooohhh!
Okay, enough of that shit. The rest of the crew (Lisa Wiik, Jante Edvasdsan, Fabian Roherer, Mikeal Sandy, and Nitro's Korean distributor Jeho) met us at the Seoul airport where we were put on our own bus and driven up to the mountains. Around this time is when we were handed our schedules for the week. Yup, you read that correctly: schedules. This wasn't to be a vacation. Jeho had organized a week of demos at a mountain called Phoenix Park Resort, starting at 8:00 a.m. He had every minute of our day accounted for. This included time slots for hitting the jumps, riding the pipes, and "freeriding," which consisted of meeting 50 snowboarders at the top of the hill and taking a run with them all at once. Can you say, "Dicey"?
While the mountain didn't have the most amazing terrain, Phoenix Park Resort was a surprisingly good time. Not sure if it's worth traveling around the world for, but if you're in the neighborhood, check it out. We were lucky enough to have a jump built for us, but upon closer inspection, it needed a little work. This is where the communication barrier first became very apparent. We told the boys to move the takeoff about twenty feet back and to make the landing steeper. The next morning, we found the opposite: the landing was flatter and the takeoff was closer. Considering that the schedule had damn near four hours of carcass tossing planned on this bad boy, it could have easily ended someone's season early. Luckily, the pipe had just been cut, so we talked them into putting the jump off 'til the next day until it'd be fixed.
Every night after shredding, there was a press conference-type thingy held in the hotel. There was a long table with glasses of water and microphones, but instead of reporters asking questions, it was local shredders. This was the equivalent of watching a nightly car wreck. Highlights included Crawford making a "snowboard jump" out of binding boxes, which doesn't sound that funny unless you realize that even we English speakers had no idea what he was doing. Then there was Fabian demonstrating how to do a nine in the pipe by jumping off his chair and almost taking out the table. There were also a handful of quotes that were nothing short of mind-blowing.
"The Koreans fell in love with Crawford over the course of these nightly meetings, so much so that they brought him a present—a set of nunchucks."
The Koreans fell in love with Crawford over the course of these nightly meetings, so much so that they brought him a present—a set of nunchucks. He then spent every free moment in his room, shirtless, "chucking." It seems he found winging two chunks of wood connected by a chain around his head and body "relaxing." To each his own.
Partying was not on our schedule. In fact, most of us were in bed every night by 9:00 p.m. This was a big relief to Jeho who was petrified at the thought of us drinking. Turns out, a few years ago another team, which will remain unnamed (rhymes with squarewalk), came over, got hammered, and destroyed a ski area. The one night we did make it out, a convention of businessmen made our antics seem mild. A friendly lot those drunk Koreans are. Damn near every one of them came and introduced themselves to us. They would almost always open with, "I want to meet you," and try their best to talk to us in broken English. The conversation usually ended with everyone awkwardly staring at each other and smiling.
The trip came to a close with two days of scouring Seoul via train. Driving in South Korea's capital is only for seasoned veterans. Picture a ten-lane highway, in rush-hour traffic, with absolutely no rules whatsoever-in the middle of Manhattan. You're in the far-right lane and need to go left? Go ahead. No one's letting you over? Just block two lanes 'til they do. Don't worry—anyone who needs to get by will just drive on the pedestrian-filled sidewalk, including the police.
"Like the rest of South Korea, Seoul was beautiful and rich with history. Yet I still had a strange Tokyo-meets-trailer-park vibe going."
Like the rest of South Korea, Seoul was beautiful and rich with history. Yet I still had a strange Tokyo-meets-trailer-park vibe going. See, most of Seoul was bombed into the Stone Age during the Korean War. Now, most everything is new and flashy. Still, the sight of food-splattered walls in restaurants was not uncommon. Get where I'm going? Yeah, kind of dirty.
Samsung is the biggest company in Korea, and from the looks of it, they celebrated by giving every business a big-screen TV. You couldn't get a cup of coffee without seeing a five-foot-tall television staring back at you. At Phoenix Park, the president of Samsung even had his own run. No one else was allowed on the run except him. Even if he wasn't there! WTF? That sounds like it would be fun for about a run and a half.
The trip was topped off with some shopping for bootleg merchandise and Korean barbecue, which was quite de-lish. Then it was back to the airport where our special ops, I mean, snowboard team, got on a stealth bomber heading for North Korea, I mean, passenger jet toward home … or do I?

Flavonoids come from plants and can be responsible for giving pigmentation and colors to being involved in UV filtration. They are similar to antioxidants in that they have a free radical scavenging capacity and have anti-cancer properties while other flavonoids show potential for anti HIV function . We get flavonoids from fruits, vegetables, teas, wine and a significant amount from cacao. Essentially the antioxidant activity comes from flavanoids
There is a positive relationship between intake of flavonoid rich foods such as cacao and lower rates of

. In the 1930's to early 50's flavonoids were actually referred to as 'Vitamin P' because of the effect they had on the permeability of vascular capillaries. That study linked here has shown that as little as 5 grams of cacao powder is sufficient to elicit significant vasodilation of the brachial artery.
There is a huge amount of fiber in just a one ounce serving of cacao nibs. 9 grams ! This can help control your blood pressure and blood glucose levels. This fiber can also help lower blood cholesterol as well as helping keep bowel movements regular. You and I are close now and I think we can definitely talk about that…9 grams
A one ounce serving of cacao nibs has 64 milligrams of magnesium making it one of the best dietary sources of it. Magnesium is starting to be really recognized as a very key element for the body as it is involved in

Chocolate and cacao help stimulate the brain into releasing neurotransmitters that can trigger feel good hormones. One of those unique neurotransmitters released by cacao is phenylethylamine . This "love drug" releases endorphins giving us alertness, contentment and a better sense of well-being.

REPLACEMENT TAPES: We have written a fair bit about our journeys in tape and the misinformation and poor quality tapes that seem to fill the internet. You can buy tried and tested replacement tape loops from echofix.com - these are the only tapes we recommend. We may also have a very limited supply of sealed original NOS RT1-L tapes - see our store or get in touch.
There are currently no operational issues with this machine, but please be aware that these units require looking after and that regular use and maintenance are key to keeping this in good working order.
Some crackle is always possible from pots/switches when not used for a while - this can be cleared with use.
Tax (VAT)
Some of our gear will have VAT at 20% added in the UK/EU, but a lot of it won't. This should hopefully clarify the situation but if you have any questions then please get in touch.
- These items will have two prices visible: with and without the tax.
- If you are buying in the UK/EU you will receive an invoice showing the tax component.
- If you are buying these items outside the EU when you get to the check out and enter your shipping location you will be charged the ex-VAT price.
- VAT-free sales are also possible to businesses within the EU with a valid VAT number. You will need to contact us in order to buy via this means.
- Much of what we sell is classified as "Second Hand Goods" and so while we still pay some tax, there is no recoverable/deductible component for sales to any part of the world.
- So, the price you see is the price you pay wherever you are.
- Shipping charges are also subject to VAT at 20% within the UK/EU - this is included within the prices you see for shipping to those areas - it is not shown separately in the cart but will be shown on the VAT invoice you receive with your goods.
We are very experienced at packing and shipping valuable and sensitive gear worldwide. Binson Echorecs, large valve amps, vintage synths, rare racks, and even a CS-80 or two - you name it, we've sent it and it has arrived in one piece and ready to play.
We keep it simple: if you buy more than one item you only pay the shipping on the item that has the highest shipping cost. This is the same no matter how many items you buy together (so the more you buy together, the bigger your shipping discount). If you check all the items out all together this will be calculated automatically at checkout. However, if you make an order and then wish to add to it before it ships please get in touch and we will refund the shipping on the item(s) that are cheaper to ship.
Note that this also allows you to purchase add on items such as transformers and other accessories, and also t-shirts and other merch, without paying any extra shipping on them.
CAN I COLLECT MY GEAR (and save on shipping?)
Yes! If you want to use this option either get in touch before you purchase, or contact us afterwards and we will just refund you the shipping. Note that collection is by appointment only and only during weekday office hours.
The shipping prices for our gear vary considerably depending on the type of gear, value and destination. To see shipping costs put the item you are interested in the cart and then either use the shipping estimator or go into the check out process. Or just contact us and we'll tell you what you need to know.
It is a fact that, with vintage items, there are going to be times when gear arrives in need of some adjustment or calibration, and some times a piece of gear that was working 100% just chooses the day after arriving for a new fault to develop. However, having been working with sensitive vintage gear for many years, we are very experienced at dealing with these occurrences and will always work with you and get the problem solved as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Note that we have have not entered automatic shipping for every country. The countries we ship to most often will have shipping rates and we are in the process of adding more shipping fees to the check out process. But if you are looking at an item that doesn't have the fee information you need then please use the contact page or call on +44 1773 856475.
Which carriers do we use?
We usually use Royal Mail, UPS and DPD/Interlink - it depends on the item and destination as to which is the most economical. If you have a preference then we should be able to accommodate it (but we may need to pass on any additional costs) - just let us know what you need.

Revision as of 22:16, 6 March 2012
This page describes how to install HDAPS on your Arch Linux installation. HDAPS stands for "Hard Drive Active Protection System." Its purpose is to protect your hard drive from sudden shocks (such as dropping or banging your laptop on a desk). It does this by parking the disk heads, so that shocks do not cause them to crash into the drive's platters. Hopefully, this will prevent catastrophic failure.
As of Linux 2.6.28, the kernel has the ability to park disk heads on demand. Previously, this had to be patched into the kernel. Thanks to the kernel devs' hard work, we no longer have to rebuild our kernel to use this feature. Obviously, this means you need to be running 2.6.28 to follow this guide.
Shock Detection
Your hardware needs to support some kind of shock detection. This is usually in the form of an accelerometer built into your laptop's motherboard. If you have the hardware, you also need a way to communicate what the hardware is detecting to your operating system. This section describes drivers to communicate the accelerometer's state to the OS so it can detect and protect against shocks.
tp_smapi is a set of drivers for ThinkPad laptops. It is highly recommended if you have a ThinkPad, even if you do not plan to use HDAPS. Among a plethora of other useful things, tp_smapi represents the accelerometer output as joystick devices
/dev/input/js# (Note! This could interfere with other joystick devices on your system).
Install tp_smapi from AUR. After installing, add
tp_smapi to your
MODULES array. After a reboot, this will activate most of the drivers, represented through the
/sys/devices/platform/smapi filesystem.
The kernel provides its own HDAPS drivers. Previously, it was necessary to manually
insmod the module via
/etc/rc.local to prevent the default drivers from being loaded. The tp_smapi package in the AUR now installs
hdaps.ko to /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates, which will let it supercede the built-in module. Thus, you can simply add
hdaps to your
MODULES array.
invert module parameter
For some ThinkPads, the invert module parameter is needed in order to handle the X and Y rotation axes correctly. In that case, you can add the option in
options hdaps invert=1
invert=1 is an example value used for a ThinkPad T410. The invert option takes the following values:
- invert=1 invert both X and Y axes;
- invert=2 invert the X axes (uninvert if already both axes inverted)
- invert=4 swap X and Y (takes place before inverting)
Note that options can be summed. For instance, invert=5 swaps the axes and inverts them. The maximum value of invert is obviously 7. If you do not know which option is correct for you, just try them out with hdaps-gl or some other GUI (see below). Alternatively, you can determine the exact value for your thinkpad model from this table under the column labelled "HDAPS axis orientation".
Shock Protection
Now that your hardware is reporting its shock detection to the OS, we need to do something with this data. This section describes software utilities to transform the sensor output into shock protection.
hdapsd monitors the output of the HDAPS joystick devices to determine if a shock is about to occur, then tells the kernel to park the disk heads.
Install hdapsd from AUR. Be sure to review
/etc/conf.d/hdapsd to ensure that it's protecting the correct hard drive.
Method #1: /etc/rc.local
Because we have to load the hdaps module in
rc.local, which executes after the DAEMONS array is loaded, we have to put hdapsd in rc.local instead of in DAEMONS like usual. Modify
/etc/rc.local again, putting this line after the insmod added above:
/etc/rc.d/hdapsd start
After a reboot, your computer will now monitor the joystick devices and park your disk heads to protect it against shocks. If you find that the HDAPS protection is too sensitive, please edit the file
and edit the sensitivity line. Default is number 15. The larger number, less sensitive HDAPS protection gets. I preffer number 35.
After change parametres restart hdapsd daemon
rc.d restart hdapsd
Or reboot your computer at this point. After init, if you jiggle your laptop, you should be able to hear the hard drive park. Don't do this too much
Method #2: /etc/rc.conf
The following constitutes the preferred startup method:
- Place
thinkpad_ecin the MODULES=() section of
thinkpad_ec may no longer require MODULES array listing
- Start
hdapsdas a normal daemon in the DAEMONS=() section of
MODULES=(thinkpad_acpi thinkpad_ec acpi-cpufreq) DAEMONS=(hal hdapsd @network @alsa)
GUI Utilities
Utilities exist to monitor hdapsd's status so you know what's going on while you're using your laptop. These are entirely optional, but very handy.

While your house or apartment may be stylish, it might not be very spacious. If the rooms in your home are smaller than you'd like them to be, you might want to consider ways to give the illusion of openness. One easy way to do this is by taking advantage of mirrors.
Mirrors can create depth in a room, and they're also great for reflecting light, making a space look brighter, airier and more open. Once you set up your mirrors and open up those faux blinds, you'll have a larger-looking room in no time. But where do you put them?
In a place like the kitchen, where there are many cabinets, mirror-fronted doors are ideal for fooling the eye. A mirror can also work in an unused fireplace, where it can make the floor space seem bigger and provide an unexpected focal point. If you're looking for a dynamic wall display, group several different types of mirrors together for an eclectic vibe.
LivingWithLindsay.com has a wonderful idea for creating your own gorgeous piece that can act as wall art while making your room seem larger.

Australian researchers who tracked the TV viewing habits of 8,800 people over a six-year span have some sobering statistics for people who love the tube too well: (1) If you watch TV more than two and up to four hours a day, your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease increases by 19 percent. (2) If your viewing habit is more than four hours a day, your risk of death from cardiovascular disease skyrockets by 80 percent.
In fact, every hour beyond two hours of sedentary viewing ups the risk by 18 percent.
The Australians, led by David Dunstan from the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, also found that even if heavy TV viewers routinely exercise 30 or 45 minutes a day, they are just as susceptible to the higher risk of cardiovascular disease. The reason why, the researchers think, is that humans are not built to sit for long periods. Prolonged inactivity affects how the body metabolizes fats and other substances that increase cardiovascular risks. They add that although common wisdom says that regular "heavy sweat" exercises, like treadmill runs, bike rides, or jogging, can counter the ill-effects of too much TV, they really can't.
What's needed, the researchers say, is the kind of ordinary "walking around" things that people do all day long-unloading the dishwasher, fixing a minor leak, pushing a shopping cart at the supermarket, walking the dog, mowing the lawn-any routine activity that keeps the body in motion and helps it metabolize substances that can quickly accumulate from inactivity.
In short, even heavy TV viewers should find ways to keep moving while they're watching. These can include standing and folding laundry while watching, doing stretching exercises or running in place, or changing channels manually instead of with a remote-anything that keeps the body moving and flexible.
And it's not just sitting in front of the telly that can contribute to cardio risks. Riding a commuter bus or train and then sitting at a desk for eight hours is an equivalent form of sedentary behavior. Some people mitigate their risks by walking up and down train aisles or standing on bus rides, using their constant small adjustments to bumps and jerks as a low-key form of exercise.
At the office, some people use adjustable-height desks that allow them to stand as they work, shifting from one foot to another and allowing free blood flow in their legs.
Subjects averaged 50 years of age when the study began in 1999-2000. The study results were recently published in Circulation magazine.

Bulldog swimmer Kieran Locke will be competing in the 2004 FINA World Swimming Championships from Thursday through Monday this weekend. After narrowly failing to qualify for the Athens Olympics, the Yale junior will join three other athletes in representing the US Virgin Islands when the United States hosts the World Championships for the first time at the Canseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind.
Locke will compete in the 50, 100, and 200 meter freestyle as well as the 50 and 200 meter backstroke. Locke has competed in multiple international competitions for the USVI since the age of 12, including the 2003 Pan American Games, where he placed sixth in the 400 meter freestyle relay with former Yale captain George Gleason '01 and younger brother and current Eli freshman Morgan Locke. Gleason swam in the 2003 FINA World Swimming Championships in Moscow, where 599 athletes competed and seven world records were broken. ESPN2 will have same-day television coverage from Indianapolis Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, with live coverage on Monday.

Allardyce thrilled with win, but not ref
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce was delighted by his side's performance at QPR on Monday night but rather less enamoured by referee Mark Clattenburg.
The Hammers secured their first away league win of the season thanks to a fine 2-1 victory in west London, with record signing Matt Jarvis netting after three minutes. Ricardo Vaz Te acrobatically doubled the visitors' advantage and, while substitute Adel Taarabt pulled one back in style, West Ham held on for a victory that propels them to seventh.
"We've achieved our first Barclays Premier League (away) win, which is no mean feat for a newly-promoted team," Allardyce said. "I think the outstanding qualities we showed today both in our ability to take the game to the opposition away from home and our ability to score goals was fantastic to see."
He added: "As the underdogs, having just been promoted, to come to QPR and take the game to them and dominate that first half was great for me to see. If I had to say anything, I was a little bit disappointed we didn't get more than two."
The only blot on a fine evening for the Hammers were the enforced first-half substitutions of Winston Reid through concussion and Joey O'Brien due to a hamstring injury. It could have been a whole lot worse, though, as referee Clattenburg handed out eight yellow cards to West Ham players.
"He hasn't spoilt our result but if you look at the spectacle as a game I think there were an awful lot of fouls and decisions he gave that he didn't need to do," Allardyce said.
QPR manager Mark Hughes was also frustrated with Clattenburg, who sent off substitute Samba Diakite after handing him two yellow cards in a 20-minute period.
"He has made two similar challenges," the Welshman said. "I wouldn't say they were reckless.
"The first one was a genuine attempt to get the ball but the lad has just nicked it away from him. It doesn't warrant a yellow card in my view. Some referees give them, some don't."
Asked if he was confident he would get time to see the job through, the QPR boss said: "I would think so. We have had a big investment and we're looking to improve this year and we will."

It's clear Facebook's new Graph Search is a direct blow to Google. It was created by a team of former Googlers and Facebook is using Microsoft Bing as its backup for Web searches.
While Google dominates the search market, Google+ has done little to steal Facebook's social market share.
Facebook's Graph Search, if executed properly, will be more useful than Google searches when it comes to finding personalized results and trusted recommendations. And it will do it all using data Google's search engine can't touch.
"People use search engines to answer questions," Mark Zuckerberg told Wired's Steven Levy. "But we can answer a set of questions that no one else can really answer. All those other services are indexing primarily public information, and stuff in Facebook isn't out there in the world — it's stuff that people share. There's no real way to cut through the contents of what people are sharing, to fulfill big human needs about discovery, to find people you wouldn't otherwise be connected with. And we thought we should do something about that. We're the only service in the world that can do that."
Levy explains the difference between Facebook's and Google's search engines further:
Graph Search is fundamentally different from web search. Instead of a Google-like effort to help users find answers from a stitched-together corpus of all the world's information, Facebook is helping them tap its vast, monolithic database to make better use of their "social graph," the term Zuckerberg uses to describe the network of one's relationships with friends, acquaintances, favorite celebrities, and preferred brands.

In the days since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, in Newtown, Connecticut, there's been a photo floating around Facebook. It shows a woman with a baby in one arm, a gun in the other, and it's paired with a headline proclaiming her "a wise American mom." I see her, and I see Adam Lanza's mom. After all, Nancy Lanza was said to have created an arsenal of guns for "self defense."
But on Friday morning, it was her guns that police say her 20-year-old son used to shoot first Nancy Lanza in the face, then 26 innocent people at his elementary school, including 20 children no older than 7. Adam Lanza finally used one of those guns his mother kept in her home to "defend" herself to commit suicide.
These are facts. Facts that the crowd defending their right to bear arms in order to defend their families needs to hear today.
Nancy Lanza had an arsenal to defend herself, but it didn't help her. She died at the hands of a madman. Twenty children died at the hands of a madman, died being shot by bullets from guns that Nancy Lanza had purchased legally but couldn't use for their intended purpose.
I have no doubt that Adam Lanza's mother had the best of intentions. She's said to have been a woman who loved her sons, who was doing her best as a mom.
It's hard to argue in the face of demands that people be allowed to defend their families. I'm a mother; I would go to the ends of the Earth and back to defend my child. I understand the passion behind the argument.
Sadly, unfortunately, a passionate argument does not necessarily make for a solid one. We have the right to defend our families, but we don't necessarily have the means.
Because guns, even guns purchased for self defense, do not defend us.
I speak not only of the case in Newtown, Connecticut, of the death of Nancy Lanza at the end of her own gun. As horrific as Adam Lanza's rampage is, the shooting of his mother could be marked as merely anecdotal by some, a blip on the radar in terms of guns being turned on their owner, if it weren't for the statistics.
Take, for example, the study published in the Southern Medical Journal in August 2009. Completed not by politicians or lobbyists, but by members of the Department of Psychiatry at the Hennepin County Medical Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and folks in the Departments of Psychiatry and Emergency Medicine, University of Louisville School of Medicine, Louisville, Kentucky, it takes a real look at the safety provided by firearms in the home.
Out of 395 gun-related fatalities inside the home during a certain period, 333 were suicides. Another 41 were domestic violence-related deaths, and 12 were accidents.
That's a 97 percent tragedy rate. Ninety-seven percent!
Compare to that the fact that 9 of those deaths were actually shootings of an intruder. That's 2 percent.
So 2 percent of gun owners gained the ability to defend themselves by owning a firearm compared to 97 percent who suffered tragedy, who saw lives lost. And this is what we're fighting for?
This is what Nancy Lanza died for? What Sandy Hook Principal Dawn Hochsprung died for? What 20 innocent children died for?
For the 2 percent chance that owning a gun will make you safer, and the 97 percent chance that the gun you own for safety will tear your family in two?
I don't call that a "wise" mom's choice. I call that the choice of a mom burrowing her head in the sand.
Yes, we have the right to bear arms. But is there really any point?

Construction for City Stadium was completed in 1939. After rejecting a number of offers from the city to buy the fairgrounds in which the stadium now stands, the owners of the land finally agreed to sell in 1936 for a cost of $30,000. The construction of both the baseball and adjacent football field was a part of the New Deal's Work Progress Administration programs. The city of Lynchburg paid $189,000 along with $100,000 in WPA appropriations.
The fairgrounds were a center point for the community, serving as the home for fairs and horse races. This helped draw a remarkable seven thousand fans to the first ever game at City Stadium in 1940: an exhibition game between the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers. The Yankees center fielder Joe DiMaggio drove in the first two runs in the new stadium. The cross-town rivalry was a one-sided affair in this contest, as the Yankees pounded the Dodgers 11-4.
The first major overhaul to the stadium occurred in 1978. The upgrade included reconstructing the outfield fence, grandstand roof, grandstand screen and adding new lights. In 1981, clubhouses were added to accommodate both the football and baseball stadiums. The biggest change though, was a 6.5-million dollar renovation to the stadium that began in 2002. It included a new concourse with the addition of chair back seats, a new picnic area, two new concession stands, eight luxury boxes, a new press box, spacious bathrooms and a new scoreboard. Groundbreaking for the project was on October 8, 2002. The renovations were completed in time for the 2004 Hillcats season. The following season six more skyboxes and a state of the art video board were added.
The "new" stadium also came with an additional name. The field was named Calvin Falwell Field in honor of the President of Lynchburg Baseball Corporation. Falwell, who is commonly known as "The King of Baseball," is the biggest reason why professional baseball has survived and thrived in Lynchburg. With the help of a small group of leading citizens in the community, Falwell formed the LBC in 1966 and they were able to keep professional baseball in the Hill City.
The Hillcats drew a new all-time attendance record during the first year of the renovated stadium, as more than 148,000 fans filed through the gates. Every season since then over 150,000 fans have experienced all that City Stadium has to offer. In 2010, the attendance soared to over 167,000 fans!
Lynchburg City Stadium has been home to baseball for nearly 70 years. Over that time the Lynchburg faithful have seen the Hill Climbers, Shoemakers, Grays, Senators, Cardinals, White Sox, Twins, Rangers, Mets, Red Sox and Hillcats take to the diamond.

Not everyone should watch the documentary Getting Back to Abnormal, to be aired on PBS next week. If you are someone who loves visiting New Orleans for the great food, terrific jazz, and unparalleled nightlife, or for the unique history and architecture, and you don't want that idyllic image complicated in any way, you should probably avoid the film. However, if you are up for a strong dose of what passes for reality in an often seemingly unreal place, you should consider tuning in.
Getting Back to Abnormal is a look at the stark racial, economic, and cultural divisions that characterize post-Katrina politics in New Orleans. The filmmakers tell the story through the lens of a 2010 City Council contest in a district that is 60 percent African-American, and that includes the impoverished and beleaguered Lower Ninth Ward. The protagonists are Stacy Head, the controversial, shoot-from-the-lip white incumbent, and Corey Watson, a black minister who is no shrinking violet, either. Racial tensions lie just beneath the surface, with many whites seeing city government as corrupt and dysfunctional, while many blacks in the district resent that they are represented on the City Council by not just a white person but one who is prone to making either politically incorrect or inflammatory statements (depending on your point of view).
A still image from the movie Getting Back to Abnormal. (Andrew Kolker)
Another key figure in the film is Barbara Lacen-Keller, a flamboyant African-American political operative and community activist who works for Head and who serves as the incumbent's emissary to the black community. Lacen-Keller often deals with the consequences of Head's words and actions, whether Head is taking on — usually African-American — city officials whom the councilwoman sees as at least incompetent, if not corrupt, or is just saying things that many of her constituents find offensive.
The documentary, part of the Public Broadcasting System's acclaimed POV (Point of View) series, was made by four accomplished filmmakers: Louis Alvarez, Andrew Kolker, Peter Odabashian, and Paul Stekler. It premiered at the 2013 South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, but was held for airing on PBS until the election year. Alvarez, Kolker, and Stekler have teamed up before, on the duPont-Columbia award-winning film Louisiana Boys, Raised on Politics, and all four (including Odabashian) collaborated on the Peabody-, Emmy-, and duPont-Columbia-winning Vote for Me: Politics in America, the best documentary about politics that I have ever seen (it aired in the fall of 1996).
At times, the film is admittedly uncomfortable to watch. This is not Mr. Smith Goes to Washington; these are not the politics of the civics classes we all took in school. Since many of New Orleans's poorest African-American residents fled the city during or after Hurricane Katrina — quite a few of them never to return — a population and political power shift has occurred in the city: 22 consecutive years of black mayors gave way in 2010 to the election of Mitch Landrieu (contemporaneous with this City Council race). A City Council long controlled by a black majority suddenly found itself with a 5-2 white majority. No group likes to give up power, and during the 2010 District B City Council race at the center of this film, the transition was just beginning. During the same period, the city made the controversial decision to close down four huge public-housing projects in incredibly poor neighborhoods, in part because of the decline in the city's population, but primarily to break up concentrations of crime and urban decay. Mixed-income housing was built to replace the projects, and officials placed strict restrictions on residents, with the rules designed to prevent the neighborhoods from declining again into crime and drug centers. Some residents saw these rules as a heavy-handed attempt by the city to run the lives of those who agreed to live there.
Spliced throughout the film are plenty of colorful, only-in-New-Orleans personalities, and the sense that for hundreds of years, residents and politicians neglected to address mounting problems until the city became essentially dysfunctional. Bob Marshall, outdoors editor of The Times-Picayune, uses a rather vivid metaphor to describe the behavior of New Orleans's citizens: "A guy sees smoke and fire and gets up and looks out his window and realizes that his kitchen is on fire — he's up in the front room. He says, "˜Well, I'm gonna watch the end of the Saints game, but the firemen'll get here eventually.' And he goes and sits down and opens another beer and watches the Saints game." Marshall concludes the story by saying the guy thinks, "He's gonna take care of it later because someone always takes care of it, and we've always lived like this and it'll be OK." Others liken the prevailing attitude within the city to that of those who would rather enjoy a good meal, go to a Mardi Gras parade, or go party than confront a pressing problem. What is certain here is that this is a film unlike any you have ever seen before.

Follow your heart rate around the clock with Polar's continuous wrist-based heart rate solution.
Continuous heart rate complements Polar's 24/7 activity tracking. The combination of continuous heart rate measurement and 24/7 activity tracking takes into account the intensity of your activity more comprehensively – even activities with very little arm movement (such as cycling or walking with grocery bags) can be counted towards your daily activity goal and calorie burn more accurately. The heart rate graph in the Polar Flow app and web service shows how your heart rate varies during the day, and you'll also get to know your highest and lowest daytime heart rate and your lowest night-time heart rate.
Polar's continuous heart rate solution is intelligent, dynamic and optimised to complement 24/7 activity tracking in the best possible way. Your wrist unit checks your heart rate at regular short intervals, and if it detects that your heart rate is elevated, it automatically starts to record it. When your heart rate goes down, the recording stops automatically. The automatic heart rate recording also begins when the accelerometer on your wrist unit detects a high activity level. This way, your Polar device makes sure you get credit for all those important active moments in your day.
Tracks your daily activity at five intensity levels for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and provides a complete picture of all of your activity. It counts your active time, daily burnt calories, steps, distance from steps and sleep.
It's based on the analyses of the frequency, intensity and regularity of your movements together with your physical information.
Intensity levels are:
You can also see how different activity intensities accumulate daily activity: the higher the intensity, the faster you'll reach your activity goal. Find more examples for low, medium and high intensity activities in Polar Flow app and web service.
Most adults need eight hours of sleep, but sleep needs vary from person to person. It is recommended that adults get between 7 to 9 hours of sleep. Your sleep needs are affected by several factors like individual characteristics, training load, mental stress, body's condition and possible sleep debt.
Polar Sleep Plus automatically detects the timing, amount, and quality of your sleep based on your wrist movements.
You can set your preferred sleep time to define how long you aim to sleep every night. You can also rate your sleep. You'll receive feedback on how you slept based on your sleep data, your preferred sleep time and your sleep rating.
Monitor your long-term sleeping patterns in Polar Flow. By following your sleep patterns you can see if they're affected by any changes in your daily life and find the right balance of rest, daily activity and training.
We need physical activity to stay healthy. The Activity Goal helps and motivates you to stay active all day long. Your device tells you your daily Activity Goal and guides you on how to reach it. It's based on your personal details chosen level of activity and general health recommendations. The activity bar on your device fills up during the day based on the duration and intensity of your activity.
You can stay active at a moderate pace throughout the day or meet your goal faster with more intense activities. Your device helps you to reach your daily activity goal by giving practical guidance like ´walk for 50 minutes or jog for 20 minutes´. You can find more tips on how to reach your Activity Goal in the Polar Flow app and web service.
The foundation of Polar Activity Goal is in evidence-based physical activity guidelines which establish the minimal amount of physical activity needed to achieve important health benefits. The health benefits include healthy body weight, healthy bones, muscles and joints, psychological well-being, and reduced risk of certain diseases.
Includes the cumulative time you spend on your feet and on the move. In other words, low, medium and high intensity activities are considered Active Time. To get more active time, avoid sitting or break it up regularly with short walks.
Research has shown that both the reduced time spent inactive and breaks in inactivity have health associations. Replacing two hours of sitting per day by low intensity activity consumes calories equivalent to brisk walking for 30 minutes.
You can see the time spent on different intensity levels in the Polar Flow app and web service.
Your device counts your steps and the distance you walk during the day. Your steps are estimated based on the frequency, intensity and regularity of your wrist movements.
Stores all your daily physical activity. You can easily follow your daily and long-term physical activity in Polar Flow app and web service. The total active time is the cumulative time of body movements that are good for your body and health.
You will find detailed information in the Polar Flow app and web service, like time spent at different activity intensity levels, average of daily goal completion, calories burned and steps taken, amount of inactivity alerts and sleep time and quality.
Tracks all your active choices during the day and shows how they help you stay healthy. Strong scientific evidence exists on the numerous benefits of physical activity. Activity benefits include, e.g. heart health, muscle and bone health, stress reduction and sleep quality.
The Activity Benefit rewards you by giving you daily, weekly and monthly feedback, because the more regularly you move, the greater the health benefits. You can check up on how you're doing either from the Polar Flow app or web service.
Reminds you to get up and avoid sitting and standing still for too long – even on those days when you gain enough daily activity. Being inactive has a negative impact on your blood circulation, metabolism and energy expenditure.
After 55 minutes of being inactive your device gives you an Inactivity Alert which reminds you to add active breaks to your daily routines. If you continue being inactive for more than one hour, you will see an inactivity stamp in your daily activity data.
You won't get any Inactivity alerts during night time.
Your training computer automatically tracks the duration of your sleep and shows in the Polar Flow app and web service how restful your sleep has been.
Most adults do very well with eight hours of sleep, but sleep needs may vary from about six to nine hours. Your sleep needs are affected by several factors like individual characteristics, training load, mental stress, body's condition and possible sleep debt.
By following your sleeping patterns you can see if they're affected by any changes in your daily life and find the right balance of rest, daily activity and training.
An assessment of sleep quality relies on your wrist movements. The periods when you sleep peacefully and don't move a lot are calculated as restful sleep. The periods when you move and change your position are calculated as restless sleep.
Train for a running event with a personalised and adaptable running plan in Polar Flow. Choose one of four events, 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon, and get a comprehensive training plan that fits you and your goals.
Depending on your choices and activity levels, you will receive a personal running program that can range from 9 to 15 weeks. Running Program also offers a base-building phase that can work for months before the start of the actual running plan.
Running Program gives you easy-to-follow instructions, motivational guidance and supportive exercises with video instructions that take the guesswork out of training.
During individual training sessions, compatible Polar products guide you in real-time. You can see your target heart rate zone and target duration and adjust your training for optimal results.
Measure your speed and distance from the movement of your wrist. Use running related sport profiles or walking and let the accelerometer track your distance and speed - indoors and out.
For accurate readings, remember to specify your handedness and other physical settings.
In Polar wrist-based heart rate measurement heart rate monitoring is integrated into a device that can be worn on your wrist. It enables you to quickly and easily check your heart rate by entering training mode in your device. It measures your heart rate accurately and easily, and gives training guidance on how to train at the right intensity. The Polar wrist-based heart rate measurement is based on Polar proprietary optical heart rate module to give the best possible results, with an emphasis on both design and functionality.
One of the key factors in wrist-based heart rate measurement, in ensuring an accurate reading from a wrist-based device, is ensuring a proper fit. The watch should sit behind the wrist bone, with the back of the watch fitting snugly against your wrist, but obviously not so tight as to prevent blood circulation or feel uncomfortable.
Heart rate (HR) is an excellent measure of exercise and your training intensity. In the human body heart rate is regulated to match the demands of the body and the environment. When exercise intensity increases, heart rate also increases to match the increased rate of energy expenditure and oxygen uptake.
Heart rate can be expressed as the absolute number of beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (% HRmax) or heart rate reserve (% HRR). Absolute heart rate during training is not very informative on its own, but when it's expressed and interpreted in relation to HRmax or HRR it determines individual exercise intensity.
Your heart rate value in beats per minute (e.g. 125 bpm) is individual and cannot be compared to another person's value. A percentage of your maximum heart rate value on the other hand is comparable. For instance your friend may have a higher heart rate value in bpm, but the percentage of your individual HRmax can be the same. This means that you have the same relative training intensity.
Maximum heart rate (HRmax) is the highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) during physical exertion. HRmax is individual and may somewhat decrease as you age. It sets the individual reference value for your training intensity and is used in the calculation of the default heart rate zones and many Polar Smart Coaching features.
An age-based HRmax is a rough estimate of your maximum heart rate, and it is used as default in most Polar training computers. The most reliable and safest way to determine your HRmax is to have it measured in a maximal laboratory test.
Provide an easy way to adjust and monitor the intensity of your training. By using hear rate zones you can also follow heart rate-based training programs. The default zones are based on your HRmax.
Different training intensities have different training benefits, for instance light intensity enhances basic aerobic endurance and hard intensity improves your body's ability to sustain high intensity exercise and your maximal oxygen uptake.
The default heart rate zones are divided into five intensity zones based on the percentage of your maximum heart rate:
You can define the zone limits yourself as you want. More detailed information about this can be found in the Polar Flow web service.
A moving symbol in zone display in your training computer showing whether you are inside the pre-set or desired target zone. This feature helps you to reach the desired intensity/pace/speed targets.
Estimates your aerobic fitness at rest without any exertion in just five minutes. The result, Polar OwnIndex, evaluates your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and tells on what aerobic fitness level you are compared with people of the same age and gender.
The test is based on resting heart rate, heart rate variability, gender, age, height, body weight and your self-assessment of the level of long-term physical activity. You can compare your value to the population norms, the average values of people of the same age and gender.
Polar Fitness Test can motivate you to start, maintain or increase physical exercise.
To be able to follow the progress, the test should always be carried out under the same conditions, meaning at the same time of day, in a peaceful environment, and following a light training day or a day of rest.
H10 heart rate sensor required
Calculates the number of calories burned based on your individual data: your weight, height, age, gender, HRmax, HRrest, VO2max, and the intensity of your training/activity.
Heart rate-based calorie calculation is used when heart rate is measured, and it measures burned calories the most accurately also in conditions like cycling or lifting weights. Activity-based calorie calculation is used in training computers and activity trackers, when heart rate is not available.
You can see the cumulative energy expenditure (in kilocalories, kcal) during exercise and total kilocalories of the session after exercise. You can also follow your total daily calories.
Helps you to understand how each training session benefits your fitness. It also gives you motivating feedback immediately after exercise. With the Training Benefit feature, you can make your training more varied by altering your training intensity and duration.
The Training Benefit feedback is based on exercise intensity and duration. It reads into how much time you spend and how many calories you burn in each intensity zone. You get a quick overview after each session and for more detailed feedback, you can either check your training file from your training computer or later in the Polar Flow app or web service.
Allows you to choose the sport relevant for your training from over a hundred Polar sports with sport-specific reports. You can get the most valuable information for you from your chosen sport.

I was simply returning Lorri Galloway's phone call. She'd left a message suggesting we collaborate this Christmas to help the three children Za'Zell Preston left behind. Za'Zell, you'll remember, died last Christmas after a violent fight with her husband – a fight the two older children apparently witnessed. This is going to be a very difficult Christmas for those girls.
But by the end of the day Wednesday, it was Galloway who was asking for help. The board of the Eli Home for abused children told her that unless $200,000 is raised soon, the home will close Dec. 31 and the 20-30 children and moms staying there will be turned out.
"We've done everything we can do, cutting back, closing programs, laying off people. And now we're at the critical point where if we don't close our shelter, we'll go into debt," says Fernando Negrete, the retired Anaheim firefighter who is president of the board.
The shelter is a seven-bedroom house in a nice neighborhood of Anaheim Hills. It was controversial from the moment it was conceived by Galloway and her husband, Michael. After a four-year fight with neighbors and the city, it finally opened in 1997. The battle launched Lorri into politics, and she ended up on the City Council. The end of her council tenure could coincide with that of the shelter.
Eli Home also has a thrift store and offers counseling – and those would continue. But the shelter is the flagship of the faith-based organization. (Eli is the Aramaic word for God. "It comes from the Bible verse Matthew 27:46, when Jesus cries out on the cross, 'Eli, Eli, why hast thou forsaken me?'" the Eli homepage explains. "We feel it is the cry of many children who suffer abuse.")
Eli Home is the only private nonprofit in the county that deals exclusively with abused preteens. They stay up to six months as they get protection and counseling, and the staff transitions them into permanent homes. It takes about $700,000 a year to run.
Its transitional nature, Galloway says, doesn't jibe with many grant givers, who only want to provide for permanent living for abused kids. Plus the economy has been tough on all charities. Eli Home fundraising has dropped by about half since 2010.
"We fought so hard to make this shelter happen," she says, her voice breaking. "This is traumatic for me, because I don't know what to do." That doesn't sound like Galloway, who is always solving problems – usually someone else's.
Eli Home started an emergency fundraising drive Wednesday. Go to Facebook and search "The Eli Home." As she was saying goodbye, Galloway joked, "The neighbors should know we might rent it out as a drug rehab center." That sounds like the Galloway I know. Maybe she wasn't joking.

Fire officials have determined that the cause of a fire that damaged a Nicholson mobile home Wednesday morning was caused by an electrical malfunction. Early speculation was that a 4-year-old boy inadvertently started the blaze, which began in a closet of the 146 Steeplechase Road residence.
Mandy Murphy said she was cleaning a bedroom in the residence of her boyfriend, Tim Polanszek when she heard the smoke alarm go off. She ran to the bedroom and discovered a fire in the closet where the boy had been cleaning his room, and assumed he'd done something. That conclusion, she said made her feel "like bad mom of the year" when she learned the real cause.
UPDATE: Fire damages Nicholson residence
