X2 Road Pedal
The Speedplay X2 Road Pedal has all of the technical benefits of the X1 version: it provides knee-saving lateral rotation, without the self-centering action inherent in most pedals - your knees don't have to work against spring tension. Their compact, low-profile shape positions your foot closer to the spindle, for optimal power transmission, not to mention the unmatched cornering clearance. And their dual-sided design provides the easiest entry/exit of any clipless pedal.
The X2 is different from the X1 in that it has Stainless Steel spindles instead of Ti. It also features the same user-friendly design and generous float options as the newer Ultra Light Action models, but with a bit more effort required for engagement, a few added grams, and without the benefit of Speedplay's Walkable cleats.
The pedals come standard with cleats and mounting hardware and are compatible with virtually every road shoe in the marketplace. Please note that, due to manufacturer restrictions, we are unable to ship Speedplay products outside the United States.
- Speedplay's minimal pedals with maximal gains
- Stainless Steel spindles are durable and more affordable
- Generous float saves your knees from undo strain
- Low-profile design keeps the foot close to the spindle for maximum efficiency
- Dual-sided design offers easy entrance and exit from pedals
- Unmatched cornering clearance for crit days you need to pedal through turns

A good introduction to Speedplay
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
My first road pedal was the Shimano SPD-SL aluminum pedal, which did the job but clicking in was an exercise in probability. A lot of times the tip of the cleat would skim the pedal and I'd be trying to launch out of an intersection with my foot thrashing around trying to engage the pedal. It didn't look very Pro. These Speedplays are so much better because engagement is superior (being dual-sided) and more forgiving--you just stomp on the pedal and you're good. And if you suffer from knee problems, the free float is a godsend. The float feels weird at first, but just like learning to ride clipless you get used to it and don't notice it after a few rides. The cons to this particular pedal: 1. The cleat interface is not very durable. I went through several cleats because the metal part would have a corner that would wear or snap off. I've learned this is not a good thing and actually crashed on a couple climbs because the cleat would suddenly disengage from the pedal. This doesn't happen if the cleat is in good shape, but I had to keep an eye on it and with the mileage I did the number of failures was frustrating. 2. Dirt very easily makes cleat engagement difficult. Not to the point where I couldn't get my foot in, but I would have to work it a bit. A small price to pay for dual-sided engagement, though. 3. If you race and are trying to sprint, the free float doesn't help. So I eventually moved on to the Speedplay Zero, which kept all of the advantages and resolved the weaknesses of the X series. The X is an improvement over other pedal systems and I was not tempted to go back, but unless you need the free float for biomechanical reasons you may want to just go straight to the Zero.

I would only add that my wife was riding the Zeros and even after a season found them very stiff and hard to clip into, vs the X2's which are much easier clip into. She's moving back from Zeros to X2s.

the perfect pedal?
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
For me, yes. I'm another 20 year rider of the x2s and bought a second pair when I picked up another bike recently. They were a great idea 2 decades ago and the greatness of the design is still evident today. They require very little maintenance and , as the other reviewer indicated, you can rebuild them in 10 or 20 years when they need it. They have a lot of free-moving float which allows your knee/ankle to find it's natural position. Some may want less freedom, or to have their position perhaps more "controlled", and there are plenty of options for them including the Zeros, Looks etc. But I absolutely love the free float and feel like I "can't go back".

Amazing pedals
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I really like this pedal. I have ridden about five times since installing these pedals and have never been more comfortable and efficient on the bicycle, ever. When I ordered the pedals I also ordered shoes; it was way over due... at least decades overdo. The x2's were easy enough to put together and line up on the shoe. Once installed the difference was incredible. The power transmission is to the point that doing that after work 15 mile ride ...... isn't enough ..... now I need to find a longer ride. I have some trouble getting the pedals into the cleats, but, for now, I will attribute it to operator error. The x2's are my first clipless pedals so I have to adjust a little. Also, I have had to make some adjustments on the rollers. I had more control of the bicycle with clipped pedals and shoes, but they make my knees hurt. The SpeedPlays take care of that. I have never been as comfortable on my bicycle as I am now in a large part, due to the x2 pedals and the amazing amount of lateral motion you get. Overall, the x2's are a great pedal for the money and (see Juan Carlo's review).... if I wear them out I will by another pair.

20 years and still going strong.
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
these are the best pedals ever. So I bought mine when there was just one Speedplay pedal model. Those were the days, Nirvana was at the top of the charts, and there were few options in the pedal world. Like Nirvana speedplay was something different, something that was revolutionary, yet made so much sense. I have ridden my first pair of speedplays for 20 years, through all sorts of conditions, and weather, until a bearings finally gave up the ghost the day before a race, and that pedal would no longer rotate smoothly. I bought a brand new pair of the same pedals, and ordered a new bearing kit. After pulling the pedals apart and putting in the new bearings, the classics still spin like a dream. I no longer have to swap my pedals between my racing and winter bike I now have two awesome pairs of pedals that I imagine will have another 20+ years of riding before I have to worry about them.

More than 100 FedEx employees at the company's Memphis, Tenn., parcel hub were treated for exposure after a forklift punctured a barrel of concentrated chili peppers used to make pepper spray.
Memphis Fire Department spokesman Lt. Wayne Cooke told NBC News the five-gallon container was damaged by a FedEx employee outside the building early Thursday, and 117 employees were evaluated and decontaminated by fire rescue personnel.
Cooke said the fire department initially responded to a hazmat alert, but the situation was not that dire.
Most of those affected were treated at the scene, but a 53-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman were taken to the hospital, complaining of chest pains.
The peppers in the container are used to make pepper spray. The exposed material, capsaicin, is an irritant that is not fatal, authorities said.
The substance has been contained and is no longer a threat.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Putney solar project online, producing power
PUTNEY - Members of Vermont's first community solar farm met at the site in Putney Friday to celebrate the opening of the solar array.
SunFarm Community Solar, the 147 kilowatt solar project which is made up of 588 panels, is online and producing electricity, project founder Nick Ziter said.
"I knew there was interest in solar. This happened very quickly but I am not surprised," Ziter said. "This is what we were hoping for. We are online and producing power." SunFarm Community Solar is located on land the company is leasing along Route 5 in Putney near Santa's Land.
Ziter says there are 43 households and businesses involved in the project, which allows investors to buy in and receive credit for the electricity that is produced.
All but 11 of the panels are called for, Ziter said, and he expects the final panels to be purchased soon.
[SLIDESHOW: Take a closer look at Friday's open house.]
There have been other large scale projects in Vermont, and other projects that had a group coming together to invest in their own panels, but SunFarm Community Solar is the first project developed by a third party that allowed customers to purchase the panels and receive the benefits of the solar energy.
"When I first did this it was almost a dream," Ziter said. "Now I go out and see the panels that are producing power and it's real. There is demand for this and people like it. I think we're going to see a lot more of these in the next few years."
Vermont was the first state to allow group net metering when it passed legislation in 2003 and today about 12 states allow groups to come together to invest in solar power and receive credits after the energy is delivered into the power grid.
Rep. Tony Klein, D-Montpelier, chairman of the Natural Resources and Energy Committee, said even though group net metering has been allowed in the state for 10 years, enthusiasm is only just starting to build.
Every year, Klein says, lawmakers looked at the law to make it easier for the customers and power companies to support larger projects.
He says the Putney project, and other community projects that are coming online, show that there is support for community solar power.
The purpose of group net metering is to make it possible for people in apartments or in a city to take advantage of solar power," Klein said. "Every year we tried create policy and incentives that made it more accessible and now it is within reach of everyone."
Ziter first pitched his idea of starting a community solar project about a year ago and he says the response was strong.
The panels were installed this summer and he says the customers will see the benefits on their Green Mountain Power bills soon.
Most of the customers of the Putney project live around Windham County, Ziter said.
Under Ziter's model the customers purchase a single solar panel for $813.
Ziter's company handles all permitting, installation and maintenance.
The solar power produced in Putney is delivered to the GMP grid and customers receive credit for the power that is produced.
Nonprofit organizations, and even customers who rent, can take part in community solar projects.
Eventually, under the company's model, the households and businesses will own the panels in about 12 years and receive the energy for free after the equipment is paid for. The panels are expected to last 50 years.
Ziter says plans are under way to develop another solar farm near Rutland which he says could be available in the spring.
By the time that project is online any Green Mountain Power customer, including those in Brattleboro, will be able to invest in the solar panels.
"We hit a few speed bumps on this project but we learned a lot too and it should go more smoothly next time," he says.
Former Central Vermont Public Service customers had to wait until GMP made the transition following the merger between the two companies.
"When you have so many people who want to be involved with solar power and when you have a common sense approach like this I think it makes sense that projects like this can work," Ziter said. "This has been a lot of fun. I think people are excited about this because it really works."

Wood offers example of trade that worked well
MILWAUKEE -- Travis Wood will open the Cubs' Interleague series Friday against Seattle, and the lefty may be the best candidate to represent the Cubs at the All-Star Game on July 16. And as the July 31 Non-Waiver Trade Deadline approaches, he's also a reminder of good things that can happen when a team makes a trade.
"To lead all of baseball in quality starts is solidifying enough," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "He obviously had a couple tough-luck outings, but he's been as consistent as anybody in baseball. On a team with guys who haven't had great first halfs, he and [Nate] Schierholtz are the top candidates to represent us."
The Cubs acquired Wood from the Reds in December 2011, along with infielder Ronald Torreyes and outfielder Dave Sappelt for reliever Sean Marshall.
"That's a trade that has definitely worked out," Sveum said.
Some players have already started hearing their names mentioned as trade bait as the deadline approaches. There were more scouts than usual at the Cubs' games Wednesday and Thursday to watch starters Scott Feldman and Matt Garza.
"Those things I don't have control over," Sveum said. "I know it's [the media's] job to talk about it a lot. In my world, I'll deal with that bridge when I'm getting ready to cross it, or cross it already, because a lot of times, that's out of my hands and I don't even know what's going on."
Last year, Sveum had to pull Reed Johnson from the on-deck circle, then take Geovany Soto out of the same game when they were dealt in separate trades to the Braves and Rangers, respectively. The Cubs were busy one year ago at the deadline, dealing Johnson, Soto, Ryan Dempster and Paul Maholm.
"When you're a commodity, it's part of the game," Sveum said. "I think players realize that, and hopefully they can block it out. The bottom line is when you cross those lines, you just go out and play and whatever happens, happens."

Before I wish everyone a happy holiday, I want to talk first about what I mean by that well-wish.
It's been a while since I felt the term "Christian" was an adjective I wanted to apply to myself. Despite my best efforts, that word has come to connote to me many more negative attributes than good, even though I know few, if any, of those attributes are things I would consciously associate with Christ. I'm referring to more than just the rampant, increasingly shrill, and occasionally vulgar anti-gay bigotry emanating mostly from people styling themselves conservative Evangelicals, too. A few of the other attributes that involuntarily come to mind when I hear the word "Christian" are provincialism, group-think, anti-intellectualism, and cultural-fascism. I know people who do call themselves "Christian" and who I personally like, but they are increasingly few and far between.

Via NerdWire, we have today a set of typographic prints and t-shirts representing some of gaming's most famous icons, old and new.
These aren't quite the "standard" typographic style where the words themselves form the entirety of the art, but I enjoyed how the minimalistic icons and colors worked together with the words to evoke the highlights of the games. Particularly in the case of Pac-Man and of Metal Gear Solid, which gave me a definite giggle.

Gilot on Charlie Rose.
I loved this drawing Francoise Gilot's made of her son, Claude sleeping curled up on a table. It made me feel bold enough to put up my drawing of Lillie.
Hi Carol! It's been too long since I stopped by. These images are beautiful. Gilot was gorgeous!
Hope all is well. Love your painting of Lillie :)
Loving seeing this post on art, thank you. Yes, love seeing artists at work and have enjoyed your posts on your art process as well as Dewey's. She was beautiful and must have had a strong character to have been with Picasso. La petite Lillie est mignon...
Mais... où sont les macarons?
Those eyebrows! I know girls who go to the salon just to have eyebrows like that. And a real nose with character.
Thanks for the glimpse into this show, are you going to move to France full time??
I do love seeing artists at work..She reminds me of my mom's beautiful features:) Same hair also:)
You do so many interesting things!
I agree, great photo essay on Picasso and Gilot.
I love the vintage look and the atmosphere of the
Côte d'Azur.
I like your bebe watercolor! I think Druckerman's book did transform you!
I agree - that drawing of Claude iq really good! Françoise Gilot has had (still alive I believe) a rich life, even after leaving Picasso. Wonder what her artist career may have been if she never met Pablo?ReplyDelete
Gilot at 21 Picasso must have been mesmerized by her beauty, and she by him! Love this post.

Oh what a wonderful post. Love it all. She was lovely. Is that your painting of Lillie? I really it.ReplyDelete
oops.. I said I really LOVE it.. where did that one word go?ReplyDelete
thank you for a
lovely start to my day. I particularly enjoy your exhibition reviews
as per today's, I find them most stimulating. More please.
It is a pity Françoise Gilot is not well-known in France - where can we see her artworks in Paris ?ReplyDelete
Francoise Gilot lives in New York but she MUST have a Paris galerie
CV: 2009 November Musee National de L'Orangerie, Paris
In France I am oftened asked if I am related...I wish.
What a fascinating look at Gilot, Carol. What photos! And a great name too - even with a couple of missing letters.ReplyDelete
I watched a May 27 interview with Gilot on the Charlie Rose Show...she was fantastic.
You can watch it here:
You are about to be inundated with bebes! (Automatic spellcheck insists on making that "bees" but I over-rode that, TG!ReplyDelete
I have always been obsessed with Picasso and his wifes/muses etc. My ever favourite exhibition of Picasso was in Paris at the `Grand Palace. I will never forget it. It was breathtaking.
I so love these posts when you take us on a ride inside Carol's mind...
Great drawing of Lillie!!
Lillie is adorable! Fantastic painting:))
HOpe you are doing well and loved this post on Picasso and Gilot!
Such an interesting post with the great photos of Francoise Gilot and Picasso and her pictures. Was riveted because I'm currently reading her book, "Life with Picasso" published first by Virago in 1990, but since reissued. Fascinating account of her 10 years with Picasso, his attitudes to life and work and her struggles as a woman and an artist in a difficult relationship. Wish the exhibition was on here in Paris. Best wishes, PamelaReplyDelete

Los Angeles Versus Utah PreviewWestern Conference Second Round
#1 Los Angeles (57-25) vs. #4 Utah (54-28)
Season series: Los Angeles, 3-1
Utah can win if…their physicality and length enable them to control the paint and win their matchups with Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and the other Lakers bigs. The Jazz will also need to have a big series from Deron Williams.
Los Angeles will win because… Kobe Bryant is no longer going into gun battles with "butter knives." If teams trap him too hard then Gasol and the perimeter shooters make them pay the price but if teams don't trap Bryant then he will drop 40 or more points on them--and sometimes he will drop 40 or more points on them no matter what they do. Derek Fisher played with Utah last year so he is very familiar with their personnel and their game plans; he will not outdo Williams statistically but he should be able to keep that matchup close enough on most nights that the Lakers will be able to prevail.
Other things to consider: Utah is a tough, physical team that had the best home record in the NBA this season. Williams shined in last year's playoffs and he came up big in crucial moments in the first round series this year versus Houston. Carlos Boozer's offensive game was not sharp versus Houston. It will be interesting to see how L.A. matches up defensively with Boozer and Mehmet Okur; Boozer is ostensibly the power forward and Okur is the center, but Boozer posts up while Okur shoots three pointers, so the Lakers may put Gasol on Boozer and Odom on Okur. The reason I say "may" is that the Lakers played three of their four games versus Utah before they acquired Gasol and Gasol missed the fourth game due to injury, so we can only speculate about how Coach Phil Jackson will deploy his two big men defensively. Although the Houston Rockets were woefully undermanned they still extended the Jazz to six games and when point guard Rafer Alston was healthy the Rockets were generally competitive with the Jazz; Kobe Bryant will be every bit as tough to guard as Tracy McGrady was and Bryant has a lot more weapons at his disposal than McGrady did, so it is difficult to believe that Utah can win this series unless the Jazz play much better than they did against Houston or the Lakers play very poorly and/or suffer an injury to Bryant or Gasol.

The Cleveland kidnapping case and Jodi Arias guilty verdict were big news items this week, as was the ongoing Benghazi hearings. "Saturday Night Live" found an interesting way of bringing the three issues together.
The show began with C-SPAN coverage of a House hearing into the deadly Sept. 11 attack last year in Benghazi, Libya. Upset with the lack of public interest in the incident, Rep. Darrell Issa (Bill Hader) enlisted the help of recently convicted boyfriend killer Jodi Arias (Nasim Pedrad) to boost ratings.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (Kenan Thompson) didn't think Arias would be a viable source of information on the attack, but that didn't stop her from being questioned.
U.S. & World
Rep.Trey Gowdy (Taran Killam) asked Arias when she found out about the attack.
"I guess this morning," she said. "Is it still going on? Who do you think did it?"
Before the hearing moved on Issa asked Arias if "that story you told about your boyfriend attacking you, that was BS, right?"
"Oh, totally," she said. "He never laid a hand on me."
Issa's next speaker was Cleveland kidnapping suspect Ariel Castro (Bobby Moynihan), but he didn't get a chance to speak his mind even though he said he had "a lot to say."
Weekend Update With Seth Meyers touched on Hillary Clinton's ongoing struggles with Republicans over the attacks in Benghazi, the National Rifle Association's attempts to appeal to women and the continued debate on immigration reform.
Meyers also discussed former governor Mark Sanford's special congressional election victory in South Carolina this week. The win came four years after Sanford admitted to lying about his whereabouts to spend time in Argentina with a woman with whom he had been having an affair.
"I bet Sanford tells all the elections they're special," Meyers said.
Meyers was later joined by the Second Hand News Guy, Andy Crispino (Bobby Moynihan), who confused Jodi Arias and Ariel Castro for the Little Mermaid.
"Either way, The little mermaid is going to jail," Crispino said.
Crispino also believed it was "porn" season, rather than "prom." And he accused New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie of wanting to become a stripper and getting "lap dance" surgery. "It's going to help him with his lap dances," Crispino said.
Christie revealed to the media this week that he had "Lap-Band" surgery in February to address ongoing weight issues.
In honor of Mother's Day, Meyers was finally joined by Garth (Fred Armisen) and Kat (This week's host and former "SNL" cast member Kristen Wiig) who sang a few Mother's Day inspired songs.
Celebrities Maya Rudolph and Jonah Hill appeared in Wiig's opening monologue, a parody of the '80s Pointer Sisters hit, "I'm so Excited." The musical guest was Vampire Weekend who performed "Diane Young" and "The Unbelievers."
Next week's host and musical guest will be Ben Affleck and Kanye West.

foldr on the list of tensors unpacked from
elems on dimension 0. (deprecated argument values)
fn, elems, initializer=None, parallel_iterations=10, back_prop=True,
swap_memory=False, name=None
This foldr operator repeatedly applies the callable
fn to a sequence
of elements from last to first. The elements are made of the tensors
unpacked from
elems. The callable fn takes two tensors as arguments.
The first argument is the accumulated value computed from the preceding
invocation of fn, and the second is the value at the current position of
elems. If
initializer is None,
elems must contain at least one element,
and its first element is used as the initializer.
Suppose that
elems is unpacked into
values, a list of tensors. The shape
of the result tensor is
fn(initializer, values[0]).shape.
This method also allows multi-arity
elems and output of
fn. If
is a (possibly nested) list or tuple of tensors, then each of these tensors
must have a matching first (unpack) dimension. The signature of
fn may
match the structure of
elems. That is, if
elems is

fn is:
fn = lambda (t1, [t2, t3, [t4, t5]]):.
fn: The callable to be performed.
elems: A tensor or (possibly nested) sequence of tensors, each of which will be unpacked along their first dimension. The nested sequence of the resulting slices will be the first argument to
initializer: (optional) A tensor or (possibly nested) sequence of tensors, as the initial value for the accumulator.
parallel_iterations: (optional) The number of iterations allowed to run in parallel.
back_prop: (optional) Deprecated. False disables support for back propagation. Prefer using
swap_memory: (optional) True enables GPU-CPU memory swapping.

This is actually great: Barry Bonds, the star of Bob Costas's nightmares, will provide scholarships for Bryan Stow's two grade-school-age children. Stow was brutally beaten at Dodger Stadium in March for wearing a Giants jersey. His condition is slowly improving, and police recently arrested a suspect in his beating.
Stow's lawyer spoke to NBC Bay Area to reveal the Bonds story:
Stow family attorney Thomas Girardi said that former slugger Barry Bonds has donated to pay for their college education. He said the family has talked about turning other donations back to the fans if this suit is successful, but said the gift of a college of education is something they treasure and will keep.
Bryan is a single father. He has a son and a daughter who are both in grade school.
Bonds visited Stow on April 22, while he was still in a Southern California hospital.
Sources close to Stow told NBC that Bonds also spent an hour in Stow's room and left a signed baseball bat for Stow's children. At the time, there was no mention of a donation to a college fund.
It's kind of noteworthy, too, that Bonds did this over a month ago—shortly after the verdict came down in his stupid trial—and that he didn't say anything about it to the press. Stow's lawyer mentions it here only because the family was so excited to have such a gift AND from a Giants icon, to boot.
So, please, a moment of thanks for Bonds's generosity, before you return to cursing him for eternity.

As the first one out of the gate, "Thor" has set high the standard for this summer's onslaught of comic book fare.
Fathers vs. sons, brother vs. brother, Good vs. Evil, epic myths, grand battles, races across space and time… they're all here in director Kenneth Branagh's "Thor," a great piece of storytelling that honors the source material without feeling calcified.
It's striking how similar the story of the Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and his father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins), is to of that of Presidents Bush 1 and 2. The father, a revered elder statesman who brought peace to his land; and the son preening, vain, and arrogant, eager to finish a war he feels his father quit on too soon. Except in Kenneth Branagh's fairytale, the son gets his comeuppance, learns his lesson and becomes a tireless warrior for peace. Ah, perchance to dream…
Hemsworth snuck up on Hollywood in 2009 as Capt. Kirk's dad in the opening scene of "Star Trek," bringing a charm and urgency to what could've been an utterly forgettable role. That charisma is in full effect throughout "Thor" from the first moment we see him walking toward the throne to which he is about to ascend. With his fists pumping, carelessly tossing his hammer around, soaking in the adulation of an adoring public—this guy is due for a fall. But Hemsworth makes it impossible for you to turn your back on him, despite the vanity and bizarre guy-liner he sports through out much of the film.
Tom Hiddleston's as Thor's brother, Loki, the God of Mischief, is a master of palace intrigue, dropping hints, whispers and lies into the ears of his intimates, effortlessly moving them about like pawns on a chess board. Hiddleston gives Loki the perfect measure on "Who, me?," keeping you unsure of his motives and endgame.
U.S. & World
Oh, and there's a pretty young ingenue in the film as well, an up-and-coming actress named Natalie Portman, who plays Jane Foster, a talented young astrophysicists who not surprisingly falls for our hero. In the past few months Portman's won a Best Actress Oscar, starred in a medieval stoner comedy and now played a minor part in a tent-pole franchise, the kind of role that would usually go to someone on the rise, but Portman gives Foster all her sexy, yet tasteful nerd-ness. She's having fun, we're enjoying it -- everybody wins.
But enough talk about acting and character and plot, this is a comic book movie...
Branagh's battle scenes are crisp, violent explosions of color and sound that keep your eyes darting about the screen as you try to keep up with the Frost Giants, a totally awesome Asgardian Terminator called the Destroyer and the rest.
Marvel's decision years ago to recreate their universe on the silver screen was a masterstroke of such genius, that they should be embarrassed by how long it took them to get to it. The arrival of Agent Coulson (the hilariously understated Clark Gregg) on the scene lends an added heft of gravity to the situation that only the viewer can feel, putting you at least a teeny step ahead of Thor and friends
There's a ton of things wrong with this movie—costumes that look they're from a high-end Halloween shop, too much of Thor in a T-shirt instead of his winged helmet, a grating abundance of pratfalls and even more endings—but the pace and scope of the story pull you past these road bumps with ease. Hiring Branagh as director was a gusty choice on the part of Marvel, one that paid huge dividends, as the man's grasp of narrative attests.
And here's a friendly reminder: don't bolt as soon as the credits roll, because once they're over, Marvel once again gives you a small taste of what's to come.

I recently wrote about effective uses of technology in the classroom. This past week our group of teaching librarians has been using another technology that was also really successful. We are teaching information literacy in about 30 sections of CORE 110 classes which is an interdisciplinary first year class called Concepts of the Self. In the class, students are trying to understand the self and why they behave the way they do through examining various texts and literature.
In this IL session we are looking at similar concepts in the context of information. We're asking students to examine their own information seeking behaviors, habits and preferences. One way we're doing this is by asking them questions using Poll Everywhere. The questions are about they prefer to get information, share information and search. Poll Everywhere is a web based technology that allows participants to vote in polls via text message, a web page, an embeddable widget, and even Twitter. The polls can be multiple choice, free response, or donation polls where people pledge money.
We've had a couple technical glitches, but from my experience so far it has been an overwhelming success. I think it works really well (especially with first years) for several reasons:
- It's a technology that almost every student already has in their pocket – Purchasing clickers would not have been feasible for us due to the large number of sections we have to teach and because we have to go to a wide variety of different classrooms. Instead we are using a technology that students are comfortable with and use all the time.
- Everyone has a little bit of an ego – Students love seeing themselves reflected on the large screen. It gives people a sense of control and people appreciate when they are asked for their opinion. It's not simply someone telling them what to think.
- It creates room for discussion – Students have to commit to a choice and then as a teacher you can give them an opportunity to justify or explain that choice and see how others might differ from them.
- It's real time – The students got really excited when they saw the graphs move and change as their answers come in. It adds a bit of a wow factor.
- It's novel – Most students haven't used something like this and we catch them off guard. Librarians asking them to pull out their phones and vote with them can break down some stereotypes that first-years might have.
For it to work seamlessly, my colleague Sarah and I had to set up the polls and put them into PowerPoint presentations for the rest of the teaching librarians. It was kind of a large experiment (30+ sections is a lot) and it could have failed bigtime. But luckily our library and our crew of teaching librarians are a pretty adventurous bunch. We don't mind experimenting and in this instance it paid off.

3 Tablespoons Dark Soy Sauce
4 Tablespoons Honey
4 Tablespoons White wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoons water
2 x Rainbow Trout Fillets
Serves 2
For an island nation we eat a pathetically small amount of fish and most of what we do eat comes from the frozen food aisle in the supermarket. This recipe is very easy to prepare and cook, it's quicker and tastier than a lot of those frozen options, so give it a go!
To make the marinade/sauce just mix the soy sauce, honey, white wine vinegar and water together.
Place the trout fillets skin side down in a container just big enough to them fit them flat and side by side, then pour on the marinade mixture, making sure the fish are completely covered and leave to marinade for at least twenty minutes. Don't add all the honey soy mixture as you'll want to keep some to use as a sauce/dip.
While the fish are marinating, turn your grill on to its highest setting and allow it to warm up. Then prepare a grill tray for the fish. You want a flat grill tray with raised sides, the height of the fish should be fine but you want the base to be as close as possible to the size of your fillets. If your tray is larger than you can make a smaller tray to sit inside your regular grill tray from tin foil.
Once the fish have marinated for at least 20 minutes remove them from the marinade and place them in your grill tray, then pour the marinate over the fish so that it coats them but only comes about half way up the fillets. Next, put it under the grill for about 5-8 minutes, depending on the thickness, until cooked through.
In the picture above I have served the fish on a braised rice pilaf made like this recipe with a finely chopped stalk of lemongrass added instead of the turmeric, this gives a wonderful delicate lemon flavour that complements the fish. I then poured some of the sauce over the fish before sprinkling some chopped spring onion on top and garnishing with a lime. Nyomtastic

A sea lion tangled up in fishing gear was rescued using a rarely used method — a sedation dart, according to the SeaWorld rescue team.
The distressed adult female was spotted on the Quivira Basin bait barge in Mission Bay Monday evening, surrounded by fellow sea lions. Fishing line was digging deeply into the back of her neck.
With the permission of the National Marine Fisheries, the federal agency that oversees wild marine mammals, the rescue team injected the 156 ½ pound animal with a sedative.
SeaWorld says it was forced to use sedation because of the mammal's size and location.
As she relaxed, the team cut the fishing line off her neck and took her to the park's rescue center as she rehabilitates.
There, caretakers discovered a neck wound above her shoulder blade, but aside from that, she is in good health, they say.
Park workers will monitor her for a few weeks until she is healthy enough to return to the wild.
This is the latest in what SeaWorld says is a disturbing trend of abuse against sea lions, whether intentional or not.
On Sunday, a 10-foot fishing gaff was found lodged in the shoulder of a sea lion in La Jolla – the fourth in a string of similar cases within the last year and a half.
In the past year, at least eight sea lions have been shot and many had to be euthanized, SeaWorld says.
The cases have been reported to the National Marine Fisheries, but a spokesperson for that agency told NBC 7 the incidents are hard to investigate because it is difficult to determine when it happened and who is responsible.

If you are reading this, you've stuck with us through another Drynuary. And you're probably on the cusp of letting Drynuary ride off into the sunset, like we are! Well, like SOME of us. [COUGH! Jolie! COUGH!] Who is probably reading this through rosé colored glasses.
Whether it was your first or your fifth trip on the wagon, the last week of Drynuary can make one giddy with anticipation. What should I drink to celebrate? What's my tolerance going to be like? Should I keep going?
Often the end of this madness is littered with the the remains of those who flew too high and burned up on re-entry. We're not talking about the mythical rabid bingeing that Drynuary truthers would have you believe in. We're talking about Super Bowl parties full of dozing, drooling wrecks who didn't think what two innocent beers before kickoff could do after a month of abstinence. Let's be careful out there!
What have we learned?
Jolie: This was my most revelatory Drynuary yet, in an exceedingly good way. I just did not miss booze in the way I have in past years. I'm on the exact same diet I used during my Bridal Panic, which does allow for alcohol consumption, but the weight has FLOWN off without the inclusion of the empty calories in hooch. I'm serene. And I'm never serene. (That's not true: I'm also serene when I'm communing with nature, but at most that happens a few days a year.)
I've also learned that people will absolutely refuse to hear what we're saying about why we do this thing, and insist to us that their views—that we should just drink in moderation (we do), that we must have a drinking problem if not drinking for a month is a challenge (we don't), that we will binge drink in February (we won't)—are entirely correct.
To reiterate our reasons for participating in this folly: It's tradition; it's a challenge; it allows us to hit the Reset button after the overindulgence of the holiday season; it provides clarity that is welcome at the start of a new year. While we encourage moderation throughout the year, none of those things can be achieved by abstaining from a drink one or two nights a week.
John: Serene! I love that. You are spot on about the month-long fast not being something you can replicate by simply claiming to be too hungover to drink some random Saturday night. The thing that I've noticed over the past few years is that while I feel like I can now do Drynuary standing on my head, it's STILL a challenge. The kind of challenge you relish, not just slog through. I look forward to Drynuary! I also look forward to it ending! Those are not contradictory sentiments.
You hit upon that other funny dichotomy that people seem to ascribe to us during Drynuary. The scolding armchair psychologists claim we're unrepentant lushes. The party bros would have our readers believe that we're pearl-clutching teetotalers who wouldn't know a good time if it fell out of the sky, landed on our face, and started to wiggle. Nothing could be further from the truth. I don't do Drynuary because I need an excuse to binge or because I'm a no-fun prude. I do it for EXACTLY the opposite reasons! It's called "pumping the brakes." Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder.
On Anticipating The Breaking Of The Fast
Jolie: But maybe not that much fonder. Here's a question for the class: Of those of you who participated in Drynuary, who among you is looking forward to getting absolutely obliterated when you break your fast?
Some of you will probably raise your hand. But I suspect that most of you are just looking forward to a drink or two, and I also suspect that those one or two drinks will hit you hard enough that you'll find yourself stopping before ordering or pouring a third.
As for me, oh sure I'm looking forward to a glass of wine. But a glass. Not a bottle.
John: Absolutely. Last year, I tried to go back to, say, Random Saturday Night In October mode right out of the gate. And I'm not talking Jaeger Bombs here: I'm talking a cocktail before dinner, splitting a bottle of BEER with my wife with our meal, and an after-dinner sticky. I almost couldn't make it to a Super Bowl party the next day. I'm Olde.
As I mentioned, 2013 was a crappy year for my family, so I was looking forward to Drynuary because it fit in with my desire—heck, NEED—to hit a massive Reset button. This Drynuary's countdown has also coincided with the countdown to the birth of my second child. So the while the butterflies in my stomach (or are those just seltzer bubbles?) may be thirsty, they also know that quality, consistent sleep is going to be at a premium for the foreseeable future. The classic anticipation of getting my feet wet again is coupled with the knowledge that I need to stay frosty for that 6am trip to the birthing center (yes, we're hippies like that), or the hours of lower back massaging during labor, or the inevitable 3am soothings that newborns require. Thank Buddha there will be hockey on TV. I'm looking forward to celebrating, and a built in moderation goes with the desire to indulge. Like chocolate and peanut butter. Inconceivable.
So, Jolie, what was your first taste of freedom this year? Please use as much detail as possible, there are those of us who need to live vicariously through you at the 11th hour.
On Reentry Strategies
Jolie: At the start of our journey, I mentioned that I break my fast on January 29. This is a yearly tradition for me—prior to 2013, it was my anniversary. Then I got married and figured the old anniversary was a thing of the past, until my husband made THE SADDEST FACE IN THE WORLD when I blew off the notion of marking that date. So we're still celebrating it. I did, however, insist that it be a low-key occasion (no gifts, no eating out) so we had steak at home, which means red wine! We also had a bottle of Teresa Guidice's Fabellini that my darling husband ordered for me.
It was pretty good! I caught a wicked buzz off of it, but I think that's a good thing—I didn't have a lot, but I drank it slowly enough that I knew when I was buzzed and stopped before I got drunk.
I ended up having just one glass of red wine with dinner, which was enough. By the time dinner was over, Tre had retweeted me.
So that was a highlight.
It occurred to me as I poured myself into bed that this was the first time I'd broken the fast at home. It made for a different experience, for sure. I think I drank less than I would have if I'd been out, and I certainly drank much more slowly than if I'd been in a bar or restaurant.
John: So...thirsty…!
That's is so rad, though, and I'm happy for you and a little bit jealous. I think it puts a nice bow on our whole Drynuary philosophy, how personal it is for each of us, and the subtleties of enjoying special occasions with a favorite tipple. We welcome the Prodigal Booze back into our lives not with a ton of fanfare or look-at-me-ice-luge-shots, but with the quiet respect it deserves. "Welcome back, my friend. Here, sit down, make yourself comfortable, and let me have a nice glass of you." You and I have specific milestones to celebrate that mark the end of Drynuary—anniversaries, birthday(s)(!!!)—but the end of Drynuary is cause for celebration in and of itself.
Hey, you know how we recommended a bunch of new activities and recipes to make your Drynuary go a little smoother that you could take with you to enliven the rest of your year? No reason that can't include new ways to celebrate with booze. I've got four cocktails for you that will replace some of your old, boring favorites, just in time for the end of Drynuary. But be careful: these are strong and boozy. So ease into it, willya?
Oh, and to soak it all up? Here's one last Drynuary recipe for oven baked polenta that you can use as a side for many of your Foodspin favorites, and it makes an easy, cool snack for your Super Bowl party.
Jolie: We're not your parents, so we're not here to tell you what to do, but I do want to reiterate John's advice to ease into it. If the thing you've really, really been missing is a Manhattan, by all means have that Manhattan, but my suggestion would be to break the fast with beer or wine, and save the hard stuff for another day. Your tolerance will snap back pretty quickly, but those first few days out it will be significantly diminished, so you should be aware of that and plan accordingly. Also, take the first drink slowly and allow a little time between drinks one and two, which will help you get a bead on where your tolerance is in this brave new world.
And One Final Word From Your Drynuary Guides
John: We're not your doctors either. As we've tried to emphasize all along, this is all based on our personal experience, having gone around the merry-go-round a few times now. Your mileage may vary. This is all voluntary, mostly for a goof and tradition and because we like the recalibration.
I'm heartened by the fact that those in the medical and addiction treatment community seem to be warming to the idea that Drynuary has a place in the responsible enjoyment of alcohol. Another recent piece notes that
"Drynuary may be useful for some people, and because of that it's a good initiative. However, it should not take the place of a qualified addiction treatment program."
We wholeheartedly agree. We started this madness off four weeks ago noting that we—and Drynuary—are no substitute for qualified advice or counsel from your family or medical professional, and we stand by that. But we hope that perhaps it finds a place in your repertoire, and that we've been able to provide some entertainment, distraction, and support as you contemplate your relationship with booze.
Jolie: We also hope to end this all on a high note, so in that spirit (GET IT? Yes, you get it.) we want to give everyone who stuck with it a big ole high five, and for those who at least gave it a go a low five—even if you broke the fast for whatever reason, you tried something new and good for you. Plus, there's always next year! Cheers!

Students Love Living at Monmouth
The Monmouth College campus provides a charming and comfortable living and learning environment that is both ideal and idyllic as a traditional college setting.
The campus is surrounded by a residential area just a short distance from the town center. It is a walking campus where no building is far from any other and where members of the College quickly come to recognize familiar faces as they meet on campus walks and congregate for College occasions.
Monmouth's students find that education extends beyond the classroom, reaching into faculty homes, residence halls and dining room, embracing a broad range of co-curricular activities. Lectures, concerts and performances by visitors are planned to compliment the academic program. The College newspaper and other publications, the campus radio station, religious services, music groups and the theater provide opportunities for students to develop their talents and to enrich the College's life.
Many members of the College find challenge and learning opportunities in the athletic programs, both intramural and intercollegiate. A prominent focus of campus interest is the student government, which is responsible for a broad range of activities. The Association for Student Activity Programming is the main activity programming board on campus. All students can become members of the board and have a hand in planning campus events. In all of these activities there are opportunities for learning, for leadership and for interaction with faculty members.

75 percent of healthcare costs in the United States come from treating chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. More than half of Americans suffer from one or more of these health problems largely caused by poor eating and lifestyle choices. Overall life expectancy in America is in decline. It is estimated that for the first time in our nation's history future generations will be less healthy and die younger than their parents.
These are the findings of a recently published report by Trust for America's Health (TFAH), a health advocacy group, titled "A Healthier America 2013: Strategies to Move from Sick Care to Health Care in Four Years." In their report, the authors recommend to prioritize prevention measures to improve the health of millions of Americans.
"America's health faces two possible futures," says Dr. Gail Christopher, president of TFAH's board and vice president for health at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. "We can continue on the current path, resigning millions of Americans to health problems that could have been avoided, or we invest in giving all Americans the opportunity to be healthier while saving billions in healthcare costs. We owe our children to take the smarter way," she added.
Taking the smarter way would require implementing additional public health programs and restructuring existing ones with focus on disease prevention as well as ensuring that insurance providers cover costs for such programs both inside and outside the doctor's office. Employer-based wellness programs in the private sector were also included in the recommendations.
"Prevention delivers real value as a cost-effective way to keep Americans healthy and improve their quality of life," says Dr. Jeffrey Levi, TFAH's executive director. He believes that efforts to improve public health must start at the local level. When neighborhoods become healthier, everyone wins. "People live longer, healthier, happier lives," he says, and "healthcare costs go down."
The latter may be wishful thinking, however, some health economists say. In fact, there is little evidence that preventive medicine would cost us less than our existing system.
"It's not plausible to think that you can cut healthcare spending through preventive care. This is widely misunderstood," says Dr. Austin Frakt, an economist at the Health Care Financing & Economics Department (HCFE) at VA Boston Healthcare System, in an interview with Reuters. One of the reasons for this is that medical procedures for the prevention of illnesses are more or less the same as those applied for treatment, such as physical checkups or cancer tests. There may be benefits for individual patients in terms of early detection but not when it comes to saving costs. That may strike us as a paradox, but it's the reality of healthcare as we know it.
"Prevention itself costs money, and some preventive measures can be very expensive, especially if you give them to a lot of people who won't benefit," says Dr. Peter Neumann, professor of medicine at Tufts University.
In other words, when people get tested for diseases they don't have, just to rule out the possibility of them getting sick later, a lot of money is spent for nothing.
A better solution would be to look for preventive steps outside the hospital or doctor's office. This goes back to some of the recommendations issued by the TFAH report. Investments in wellness programs, health education and counseling could yield better results. Much could be achieved by grassroots movements and community-based initiatives if done the right way. That would still require financing, but the dollars spent could go a whole lot further.

Even down to 10 men, Chris Wondolowski wasn't going to let the San Jose Earthquakes' latest must-win match slip away.
Just six minutes after Steven Lenhart was ejected for receiving a second yellow card, Wondolowski pounced on a rebound from Chivas USA goalkeeper Dan Kennedy. The reigning league MVP coolly slotted home from 10 yards in the 87th minute to give the Quakes a shocking 1-0 victory and continue what is building into a most improbable postseason run.
"Our guys were fantastic, and kept fighting and persevering right through the end," Quakes interim coach Mark Watson told reporters at the StubHub Center. "And we got the goal that we were so desperate for."
With their second road win in as many weekends – after opening the season 1-10-3 away from home – San Jose (12-11-8) took sole possession of sixth place in the Western Conference. The Quakes, who bounced between seventh and eighth for much of the last four months, haven't been this well placed in the standings since May 11, when they were tied for fifth.
San Jose sit on 44 points, one back of Colorado and the LA Galaxy – who just happen to be the Quakes' next two opponents.
"With these games, especially ones that you need to win, you don't know if those chances are going to come in the first minute or the 90th minute," Wondolowski told MLSsoccer.com by phone. "So you just have to stay the course and just keep plugging away. I think that's something we're pretty good at."
The Quakes came in knowing they needed at least 10 points from their last four matches to realistically have a chance of making the postseason field. While not mathematically necessary, winning against last-place Chivas (6-17-8) was certainly an imperative.
"We had the mindset going in the game that we needed to win," Watson said. "But it's not like we threw everything forward from the first minute. We needed to be smart about it. . . . Once we went down a player, we had to be even a little bit more [careful] in terms of not letting them score a goal and still give ourselves a chance to win the game, even if it was in injury time."
It looked as though Lenhart had given San Jose their desperately needed breakthrough with a powerful header from a 47th-minute corner kick. But referee Jose Carlos Rivero blew the play dead before the ball crossed the end line, apparently citing Quakes midfielder Cordell Cato, who was involved in some serious jostling with Chivas USA defender Carlos Borja at the edge of the 6-yard box.
When Kennedy tipped over a shot by Cato in the 63rd minute, then stoned Wondolowski in a one-on-one battle two minutes after that, it looked as if the Quakes' renaissance under Watson might have come to an end.
Instead, Watson improved to 9-5-2 since taking over from Frank Yallop in June.
The Quakes broke out on a counter attack in the 87th, the ball flowing smoothly from Jordan Stewart to Jason Hernandez to Cato to Alan Gordon. Gordon's shot from well outside the penalty area dipped and moved dangerously, forcing Kennedy into playing it off his chest. Wondolowski shot past Chivas youngster Jaime Frias – who was only in the match because Steve Purdy suffered an injury via a first-half Lenhart elbow – to poach his ninth league goal of 2013.
So, Wondolowski was asked, is this feeling like a team of destiny?
"It's a team that's getting the job done one game at a time right now," Wondolowski said. "We still have a lot of work that we have to do. We've put ourselves in this position, but I can definitely tell you one thing: Every single guy, to a man, still has faith and belief that we're going to do this. And we're going to work every minute to do it."

Kellan Lutz might be in fall's hottest film – but the "New Moon" star wasn't on the film's afterparty guest list.
According to video shot by X17, following the premiere of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," Kellan and a friend headed to the premiere party at LA's Hammer Museum — but were not granted access.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' Premiere
Prior to attempting to get past the party's velvet rope, the actor was spotted signing autographs and taking photos with fans.
"At one point Kellan and one of the guards got physical and shoved each other," a photographer told X17. "And Kellan appeared very upset that they didn't seem to know who he was!"

A frustrated Kellan yelled to his fans, "It's my party and they aren't going to let me in!"
The crowd of rabid Twi-Hards began to yell, "Let him in!"
Security eventually realized who Kellan was and let the actor into the party.

This archive contains all documents published by cep over the last few years:
cepAdhoc: Incisive comment on current EU policy issues.
cepPolicyBrief: Concise 4-page reviews of EU proposals (Regulations, Directives, Green Papers, White Papers, Communications) – including a brief summary and economic and legal assessments.
cepInput: Impulse to current discussions of EU policies.

In the context of increasing electricity generation based on renewable energy, the Commission puts forward its ideas for redesigning the European electricity markets. Thus support for renewable energy should follow a more market-based concept. The simple provision of reserve capacity will only be remunerated by way of capacity mechanisms in the exceptional case that electricity supply cannot be secured by the electricity market itself.
In its Strategy for a Digital Single Market, the Commission lays down numerous measures to strengthen the European digital economy. This cepPolicyBrief deals with the second pillar of the Strategy (Digital networks and services). It deals, inter alia, with the reform of telecommunications regulations, the examination of the rules on audiovisual media services, online platforms, and with the rules on illegal content on the Internet.
Many of the power plants currently still in the market will be shut down in the medium term due to their age. As, in addition, the incentive to invest in new secure power-plant capacity is low, due to low wholesale electricity prices, more and more Member States are starting to develop "capacity mechanisms" which provide extra remuneration for the provision of secure capacity.
The negotiations between the EU and the US on the free trade agreement TTIP are a hot topic at the moment. Investment protection in particular is the subject of heated debate. The cep takes a closer look at what kind of investment protection is really needed.
In its revision of the Directive on the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), the EU should even after 2020 issue free allowances to companies at risk of emigrating in order to prevent the relocation of carbon emissions to non-EU countries.

The critics speaketh
Early reviews! The first couple are in and now available in the Reviews section. I'll add more here as they come in.
In film news, Scott Burns has been hired to write the screenplay. Scott recently adapted another book for Steven Soderbergh, Kurt Eichenwald's The Informant: A True Story. So I'm guessing the man can write. He's also something of a legend in the advertising world, with credits including the "Got Milk?" campaign. That won't go astray with Jennifer Government. The corporate advertising experience, I mean. I have enough milk.

For the rhubarb compote
Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line the base of a 23cm springform tin with baking parchment. Whizz the biscuits in a food processor until they resemble breadcrumbs. Pour in the butter, whizz briefly again, then tip the mixture into the tin and press down firmly. Bake for 10 mins, then cool.
Reduce oven temperature to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Wrap a double layer of foil, lined with cling film, around the base and sides of the tin to make it watertight. Break 400g chocolate into a pan, then pour in the cream and heat until the chocolate has melted. Leave to cool slightly. Rinse the bowl of the processor, then blend the cream cheese, eggs and vanilla essence together with the melted chocolate and cream until smooth.
Put the tin in a deep roasting tray, then pour in the filling. Half-fill the roasting tray with boiling water, bake for 1 hr, then turn the oven off. Leave to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1-2 hrs. Lift the cheesecake from the water, discard the foil, then cover with cling film and chill. The cheesecake can be made up to 3 days ahead. Grate the remaining chocolate over the cheesecake before serving.
For the compote, heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Mix the rhubarb and sugar in an ovenproof dish. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod on top of the rhubarb, then drop in the pod, too. Pour the muscat over, cover with foil, then bake for 30-40 mins, stirring halfway, until the rhubarb is cooked. Leave to cool, then remove the pod. Serve the compote with the cheesecake. The compote can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days.
