Palm finds a buyer and maybe new life
Hewlett-Packard will pay $1.2 billion for the maker of the Pixi smart phone. But the deal raises a host of questions, too.
Updated at 6:50 p.m. ET
If you still own Palm (PALM), you have to be absolutely thrilled that Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is willing to pay $1.2 billion for the company.
The reason: The odds were very good that Palm would cease to exist, perhaps by the end of the year, maybe earlier.
Instead, your shares will be bought for $5.70 a share -- in cash -- and the company will become part of one of the strongest players in the technology industry.
And there's the possibility of another bid. At least that's what some investors believe because they pushed the stock to $5.86 after hours -- 18 cents more than what HP is offering. China's Lenovo is supposed to be interested in Palm.
HP investors weren't so happy; shares were down 1.1% to $52.70 after hours. But that's a modest hit to the stock.
HP's offer comes after Palm spent millions developing its Palm Pixi smart phone to compete with Apple's (AAPL) iPhone, Research In Motion's (RIMM) BlackBerry family of devices and phones that use Google's (GOOG) Android operating system.
The problem was that it couldn't get much acceptance of its product with the big wireless companies. It has been carried by AT&T (T) and Verizon Wireless and Sprint (S), but the phones have been also-rans against competitor devices.
Last month, Palm said it expected less than $150 million in revenue in its fiscal fourth quarter, shocking analysts who were expecting about $285 million. Today, it cut the forecast again -- to $90 million to $100 million. The quarter ends on May 31.
Assuming it wins Palm, Hewlett-Packard would gain control of Palm's WebOS operating system, which has won praise for its technical virtues even if sales have been weak. HP would add muscle behind the development of new devices built on the operating system.
And the cost would be very modest, compared with slowly building up a brand of its own phones. Buying a mobile-phone company would be hugely expensive. Research In Motion sports a market capitalization of some $40 billion.
HP said Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein will join Palm after the deal closes. That's expected in late July.
Perhaps happiest of all in the Palm-HP linkup is private equity firm Elevation Partners, which owns 30% of Palm.
The deal has one potentially large loser, Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek told CNBC this afternoon: Microsoft (MSFT), the publisher of MSN Money.
Microsoft has had plans to partner with Hewlett-Packard on phones using its new Windows Phone 7 software. But the phones would not be available before the end of 2010.
Microsoft shares were up 0.2% to $30.91 but fell 0.5% to $30.75 after hours after the Hewlett-Packard/Palm news broke.
The Windows Phone 7 operating system would replace Windows Mobile, which has not fared well against the iPhone, BlackBerry or Android-based phones.
Hewlett-Packard said Microsoft remains "an important partner" on mobile devices.
Dell (DELL) is also expected to offer a mobile device using the Microsoft operating system.
But HP's buying Palm does not mean the WebOS system will be a success.
Some observers like this deal. It says HP "is serious about becoming a player in smart phones," wrote Dean Takahashi on Mobile Beat. "While the entrenched players have done a fine job stoking interest in smart phones, HP is a much larger company that -- while it isn't nearly as cool as Apple -- appeals to the masses."
Others disagree. Dan Frommer of Silicon Valley Insider thinks the deal will fail. "Consumers haven't found a need to buy Palm devices instead of Apple or Android devices," Frommer wrote on Forbes.com.
And developers don't seem to care either, he said. "Without unique apps, there's no reason to have a unique platform."
There's already a potential lawsuit brewing. Finkelstein Thompson, a Washington, D.C., firm, says it's "investigating potential claims" against Palm. The issue: The stock was trading at $17.07 on Oct. 1 and has crashed to as low as $3.71 in March.

How much of a right do students have to questioning and independent thinking?
What is your opinion on how much students should be allowed to question? Do they have the right to question if they may see a logical fallacy? If so, how far are they allowed to question it? Why?
In addition: I understand teachers try to allow students to question, but sometimes are limited by the administration (and/or bureaucracy). Why is this?
Topics: education philosophy thinking

Jan 5 2013: Colton, When I went to school we were allowed to stray a little ... however, in todays system the federal and state government have preset many conditions that the teacher has no control over. To a already crowed syllabus they have inposed Common Core Curriculum. Textbook publishers and test writers who have the absolute power over what instruction you get are scrambling to get this added into their agendas. Because teachers have limited time to cover all of the test materials and have the added incentive of being evaluated on the students test results ... their time to entertain anything off of the ridgid path is extremely limited.
I honestly do think that teachers would love to instill both the inquiring mind and independent thinking ... and I believe that this is being done in some Advanced Placement (AP) courses.
I do not want to defend anyone either teacher or administration but they are not generally in charge of what requirements are ... those are set by federal and state governments. Remember that the school and the districts are also being rated. The federal government controls us by virtue of money allocations ... do it our way or we take away your funds. States do it by lowering your academic credentials ... schools are rated as failing, maintaining, progressing, or excelling. Each state has different criteria for applying these ratings.
Never stop questioning or digging into subjects until your satisfied. Your teachers will encourage you but unfortunately may not be able to take class time to accomadate this. They are doing the best they can under conditions not of their choosing. The hoops they have to jump through are higher and smaller than the teachers of the past. Work with them ... they do care.
All the best. Bob.
Ben Jarvis 50+Jan 5 2013: a great comment and i'm glad you've brought it up. too often teachers are blamed for the results of the poor policies drawn up by people who aren't even teachers (education department bureaucrats, schools board members, psychologists etc).
i agree with your last paragraph as well, but would add that it's important to be able to sometimes just accept that we (not just students, adults too!) don't have sufficient experience or knowledge to understand the full depth of why our doubts are unfounded, and defer to expert opinion.
Jan 6 2013: as you might have observed yourself, everybody seems to think they know how to fix education, likely because they've "seen it done" when they were a student at school, and so they have all these 'brilliant' ideas on how to improve classes that they want to bring in to the world if they get the chance.
the problem is though that so many wear rose-tinted glasses when remembering their school days. i've heard plenty of times people say that they would've done so much better at school if only the classes had been more interesting, completely forgetting the reality of their school days which was that hanging out with their friends was always going to be more interesting than the most fantastic lesson.
the result is that some things can't be done in class because the time has already been prescribed for something else by someone who only thinks they know what they're doing.

Cliodynamics' is a transdisciplinary area of research integrating historical macrosociology, economic history/cliometrics, mathematical modeling of long-term social processes, and the construction and analysis of historical databases. Cliodynamics: The Journal of Theoretical and Mathematical History is an international peer-reviewed web-based/free-access journal that will publish original articles advancing the state of theoretical knowledge in this discipline. 'Theory' in the broadest sense includes general principles that explain the functioning and dynamics of historical societies and models, usually formulated as mathematical equations or computer algorithms. It also has empirical content that deals with discovering general empirical patterns, determining empirical adequacy of key assumptions made by models, and testing theoretical predictions with the data from actual historical societies. A mature, or 'developed theory,' thus, integrates models with data; the main goal of Cliodynamics is to facilitate progress towards such theory in history.
Aha…that's what we're doing at Synerscope — we make tools to visualize cliodynamics.

Fourteen men who risked everything to help liberate France
during World War II were honored Thursday with France's highest award that can
be given to a foreigner.
The men, who are the last of the greatest generation, were
presented Legion of Honor medals during a special ceremony today at the North
Carolina capitol.
Among those in attendance was Pinehurst resident Gerald
Anderson, who was one of thousands who stormed Omaha Beach during the Invasion
of Normandy in June 1944.
"The first period on Omaha was not very pretty, I'll never
forget that," Anderson said.
During combat, Jessie Bowman said medals and honors were the
furthest things from their minds.
"I was thinking about my family, my country and just doing
the best I could do," Bowman said.
But despite the horror of that day, there's something else Anderson
won't forget -- the faces of those he helped liberate.
"Especially the people in rural France," Anderson said. "They
never forget the Americans … they look to us as saviors."
Nearly 70 years, those people Anderson and Bowman helped
save, honored them and their fellow soldiers.
"I'm flabbergasted," Anderson said. "I'm delighted to
receive this medal, but I can't help but think of all the guys who deserve this
medal who are still over there."
Although Bowman was a decorated soldier before today, he
said the Legion of Honor medal stands out.
"It's the most beautiful medal that I've got. I've got
probably 12, and it is the most beautiful one."

void *sqlite3_malloc(int); void *sqlite3_realloc(void*, int); void sqlite3_free(void*);
The SQLite core uses these three routines for all of its own internal memory allocation needs. "Core" in the previous sentence does not include operating-system specific VFS implementation. The Windows VFS uses native malloc() and free() for some operations.
The sqlite3_malloc() routine returns a pointer to a block of memory at least N bytes in length, where N is the parameter. If sqlite3_malloc() is unable to obtain sufficient free memory, it returns a NULL pointer. If the parameter N to sqlite3_malloc() is zero or negative then sqlite3_malloc() returns a NULL pointer.
Calling sqlite3_free() with a pointer previously returned by sqlite3_malloc() or sqlite3_realloc() releases that memory so that it might be reused. The sqlite3_free() routine is a no-op if is called with a NULL pointer. Passing a NULL pointer to sqlite3_free() is harmless. After being freed, memory should neither be read nor written. Even reading previously freed memory might result in a segmentation fault or other severe error. Memory corruption, a segmentation fault, or other severe error might result if sqlite3_free() is called with a non-NULL pointer that was not obtained from sqlite3_malloc() or sqlite3_realloc().
The sqlite3_realloc() interface attempts to resize a prior memory allocation to be at least N bytes, where N is the second parameter. The memory allocation to be resized is the first parameter. If the first parameter to sqlite3_realloc() is a NULL pointer then its behavior is identical to calling sqlite3_malloc(N) where N is the second parameter to sqlite3_realloc(). If the second parameter to sqlite3_realloc() is zero or negative then the behavior is exactly the same as calling sqlite3_free(P) where P is the first parameter to sqlite3_realloc(). sqlite3_realloc() returns a pointer to a memory allocation of at least N bytes in size or NULL if sufficient memory is unavailable. If M is the size of the prior allocation, then min(N,M) bytes of the prior allocation are copied into the beginning of buffer returned by sqlite3_realloc() and the prior allocation is freed. If sqlite3_realloc() returns NULL, then the prior allocation is not freed.
The memory returned by sqlite3_malloc() and sqlite3_realloc() is always aligned to at least an 8 byte boundary, or to a 4 byte boundary if the SQLITE_4_BYTE_ALIGNED_MALLOC compile-time option is used.
In SQLite version 3.5.0 and 3.5.1, it was possible to define the SQLITE_OMIT_MEMORY_ALLOCATION which would cause the built-in implementation of these routines to be omitted. That capability is no longer provided. Only built-in memory allocators can be used.
Prior to SQLite version 3.7.10, the Windows OS interface layer called the system malloc() and free() directly when converting filenames between the UTF-8 encoding used by SQLite and whatever filename encoding is used by the particular Windows installation. Memory allocation errors were detected, but they were reported back as SQLITE_CANTOPEN or SQLITE_IOERR rather than SQLITE_NOMEM.
The pointer arguments to sqlite3_free() and sqlite3_realloc() must be either NULL or else pointers obtained from a prior invocation of sqlite3_malloc() or sqlite3_realloc() that have not yet been released.
The application must not read or write any part of a block of memory after it has been released using sqlite3_free() or sqlite3_realloc().

Beyonce is an executive producer of what's described as an "intimate, revealing" new documentary about...herself. The feature-length film will premiere February 16 on HBO, and promises to go beyond "Beyonce the artist," and reveal Beyonce behind-the-scenes.
"This film was so personal to me, it had to have the right home," Beyonce says in a statement. "HBO has a history of pushing every boundary with class and authenticity. Some of my favorite shows are on HBO, so I am excited that my film will be part of its bold programming."
The upcoming documentary uses home video to capture Beyonce's beginnings in her hometown, Houston, where she built strong bonds with her family and launched her career. The film also tracks the singer's decision to step out on her own, managing her own career and establishing her own company, Parkwood Entertainment.
Fans will also get a glimpse at the emotional and physical demands of being Beyonce, with cameras following the singer from the recording studio to the stage. In addition, the film captures Bey's return to the spotlight after the birth of her daughter, Blue Ivy .

The holiday shopping season usually includes some of the best days of the year to buy a car.
This post comes from Michael Koretzky at partner site Money Talks News.
New-car prices are down, but used-car prices are way up. Leasing is also up -- but so are defaults on those leases.
Oh, and young people want to drive less. Holy Chrysler, what's going on?
- Buying a new car? Estimate your credit score first
Well, experts say this uncommonly long recession has put the brakes on what we long considered common car sense. So before you buy, read on.
Shoppers continue their holiday spending spree.
This post comes from Melinda Fulmer of MSN Money.
Recession? What recession? Cyber Monday is here and consumers are still shopping in force, according to retail experts. They're just doing it on the sly at their desks at work.
- While you're at it,estimate your credit score
According to Graham Jones, a vice president at PriceGrabber.com, online traffic from his company's comparison site to retailers is up between 15% and 20% today from last year (roughly the same increase they saw on the much more heavily promoted Black Friday).
Most workers say they don't feel obligated to buy a holiday present for supervisors. Consider the ramifications before you do.
There is nothing that brings out my inner Scrooge more than the issue of "obligatory" holiday gifts.
You know what I mean. The gifts you buy not because you want to, but because it's "expected." Or at least you think it is.
In these times of job insecurity, one question that looms large is: Should you buy your boss a holiday gift?
Four ways to find bigger discounts and better deals with social media and apps.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Shoppers looking for the best discounts this holiday season won't be able to get them all on their own. They'll need a little help from social networking sites and their cell phones.
The technology behind these deals was already in place on Black Friday, when shoppers who "checked in" to a Hollister store using app Foursquare got an exclusive coupon for 20% off that could be scanned at checkout. Earlier, RadioShack offered $10 off a purchase of $40, and a 20% discount on all accessories, only to its Facebook fans.
Retailers have been experimenting for months with exclusive deals via apps and social media, but this is the first holiday season they'll be using those tactics, says Lynn Mettler, founder of Step Ahead, a marketing firm in Mount Pleasant, S.C. And it's an important time for this push.
Do you overspend, thinking that your future self will somehow find a way to come to your rescue?
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
I recently had dinner with Wendy and Dennis, two Get Rich Slowly readers who recently moved from Phoenix to Portland, Ore. We talked about a lot of things -- most of them nerdy. We also chatted about the ever-evolving nature of Get Rich Slowly.
"I've noticed you're writing more about credit cards lately," Wendy said. "Is that because you're using them more often?"
"Well, maybe," I said. I thought about it for a moment.
Life is too short to obsess over whether the gift tags match the wrapping paper.
One harried late-October evening years ago, I rushed through a store's costume section in a frenzy of last-minute preparations. To my horror, the reds and greens of Christmas cards and wrapping paper beckoned from a nearby aisle.
"Oh, spare me," I said aloud. "I haven't finished feeling guilty about Halloween yet."
Here are a couple of ways to give to food banks -- even if you think you can't afford it.
Yesterday I counted up my found money -- the coins and bills I pick up from sidewalks, the floors of public buildings and the returned-change bins in Coinstar machines.
It added up to $19.79, considerably less than last year's $34.54. Maybe that's because I got my degree last December -- no more days on the University of Washington campus, the home of lots of loose change.
Or maybe the economy is tight enough that more people are picking up the dimes they drop.

7 steps for tackling your holiday debt
After a holiday buying binge, you might be left with a debt hangover. Here are some tips to speed your recovery.
After the 2008 financial crisis, America's love affair with credit cards cooled a bit. The percentage of U.S. households carrying a credit card balance fell from 46% in 2007 to 39.6% in 2010, according to the Federal Reserve's triennial Survey of Consumer Finances.
But many card issuers say sales are on the rise again. If holiday spending grew even modestly, as predicted, that means more people may face unpleasant credit card bills in January than in recent years.
If you're one of those who binged, here's how to cope:
First, a reality check
Most people can bail themselves out after a holiday spending spree. If you're already swamped with debt, though, it might be time to launch a life raft instead.
Here's how to tell if you're in too deep. Make a list of all your consumer debts, including credit card balances, personal loans and medical bills. Use a debt payoff calculator (find one on Bing) to figure out how much per month you would need to pay on each bill, at its current interest rate, to have it paid off within five years. Why five years? Because that's generally how long a bankruptcy court would expect you to pay on such debts before forgiving the balance. Then, add all those monthly payments together.
Can you swing that total payment, or even more? If not, it's time to get help. Make appointments with a legitimate credit counselor affiliated with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling and an experienced bankruptcy attorney (the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys makes referrals) to be advised of your options.
Stop shopping
You'll have plenty of temptations. You may want to get yourself that gift no one else got you or take advantage of after-holiday sales. Resist. Unsubscribe from deal sites and newsletters, and toss catalogs into the trash unread. Taking a break from shopping for a month or two will leave you with a lot more cash to pay down your debt. Don't worry -- there will be plenty of sales later.
Liz Weston
Raise cash fast
Return unwanted holiday gifts right away. Some stores will give you only their current, often discounted, price when you make a return. So head to the customer service counter while you can still get top dollar. If you can't get cash back, you'll probably still be able to receive store credit to use for future purchases. And if you've got gift cards galore, give yourself the gift of getting out of debt faster by selling them for cash on sites such as Plastic Jungle or Cardpool.
It's also a good idea to sell the stuff you don't want or need. Winter isn't a great time for yard sales in most of the country, so sell unneeded goods online at Craigslist, eBay or through used clothing sites such as Threadflip, Poshmark or Tradesy. If you have good quality, still-in-style clothing and shoes, you may be able to sell them to higher-end used clothing stores such as Buffalo Exchange.
One more option to help you sprout some green: a temporary second job or a side business. Check out TaskRabbit or ChoreMart to connect to those who want your services.
Chop expenses
Now's the time to eat in, drop the landline and cut the TV cord. You don't have to do without forever -- just long enough to settle those bills. MSN's Smart Spending blog is full of great ideas for reducing costs. Also, check out The Dollar Stretcher, one of the oldest online frugality sites for a deep library of articles, resources and tips.
Shoot for lower interest rates
If you have excellent credit scores (FICO of 750 or above), you may qualify for credit cards with lower interest rates, or at least a low-rate balance-transfer offer. The Citi Simplicity card has an 18-month, 0% offer on both purchases and transfers with no annual fee and a "lower than usual" 3% transfer fee, according to NerdWallet, which picked the Simplicity card as one of the best current offers. Another NerdWallet pick: the Chase Slate card, which has no balance transfer fee and offers 0% interest for 15 months.
Don't forget to check with your credit union to see if you can get a personal loan at a lower rate than your credit cards to help pay off some (or all) of your debt. Personal loans typically have fixed rates and a three-year term.
Avoid these traps
No matter how desperate you are to pay the bills, don't:
- Raid your retirement funds.
- Take out a payday or car title loan.
- Prioritize credit card bills over necessities, such as paying the rent and keeping the lights on.
Make a plan for next year
Once you've paid off your holiday debt, start saving for next year. People who pay cash for their holiday needs will tell you there's nothing like the feeling of satisfaction that comes from a debt-free start to the year.
Carrie Bisnett of Albion, N.Y., said she paid for Christmas 2012 without using a single credit card.
"There are fewer gifts under the tree," Bisnett said, "but no surprises in January."

My solution: DON'T START SHOPPING TO START WITH!!
Christmas (years ago) was meant to celebrate life and family. Instead, nowadays, people are more concerned with getting the newest Ipad or tablet. I gave up on Xmas shopping 10 years ago, and STILL celebrate the holiday spirit WITHOUT gift giving. Maybe if more families focused on celebrations instead of presents, this country's morals, as well as it's citizens' finances would be better off...
Remember, it does NOT cost anything to wish someone, "Merry Christmas, Happy New Year"...
Just saying...

Randolph students should pick up an application from Dr. Paul Irwin or Dr. William Coulter. There is no application fee for Randolph students.
Admission to the Reading program is competitive. The Selection Committee looks for students who have achieved at least a B- (2.7) average, who demonstrate some strength in working independently, who are mature and considerate enough to handle living in rather close surroundings in our homes in Reading, and whose academic course work can be enhanced by the program.
The application form is relatively simple, and there is no application fee for non-Randolph students if you meet the December 20 or August 1 deadline (whichever is relevant). The committee does not place any limitation on the number of students it accepts from other colleges and universities.
Students who wish to transfer to Randolph College after earning their associate's degree at a two-year institution are also welcome to participate in the Reading program. Our Registrar and Associate Dean of the College will evaluate your transfer credits and help you plan your final two years to ensure that courses you take in Reading and in Lynchburg will enable you to graduate on time.
In recent years, students from the following colleges and universities have joined our program:

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — There are plenty of descriptions of awful conditions on board the Carnival cruise ship Triumph from the passengers who were stuck on board for five days after the ship was disabled by an engine-room fire.
But few negative words are being heard about the crew members who also had to endure those conditions while doing what they could to make passengers comfortable. Brandi Dorsett of Sweeny, Texas, says, "The crew was awesome."
Passengers are also telling about sharing or trading precious supplies, and even welcoming strangers into their private cabins. Sandy Jackson of Houston was fortunate to have an upper-level room with a balcony, and a breeze that kept the air fresh. Rooms on the lower deck were foul or stifling, so she took in five people, including four strangers.
One man used his pocket knife to cut rope and make tents out of bed sheets for the passengers who were sleeping on the outside deck. At first, other passengers told him he was going to get in trouble -- but later, everyone wanted to borrow his knife to do the same thing.

In the latest poll of our Science fiction, science fact project you told us that you wanted to know if infinity exists. In this interview the cosmologist John D. Barrow gives us an overview on the question, from Aristotle's ideas to Cantor's never-ending tower of mathematical infinities, and from shock waves to black holes.
This podcast comes to you from a conference on the nature of time. We talk to philosophers of physics Jeremy Butterfield and David Wallace, as well as the eminent Roger Penrose about the puzzle time poses to physicists and what it has to do with the Big Bang and the second law of thermodynamics.
Imaginary is an interactive mathematics exhibition that inspires the imagination with beautiful images. And what is more exciting it allows anyone to step into the world of maths and play with beautiful mathematical surfaces, symmetry and much more. We went along to the Imaginary Barcelona conference, which brought together people involved in the original exhibition in Germany and its recent successful run throughout Spain.
Networks loomed large at the AAAS annual meeting in Vancouver, in particular the one you're looking at right now: the Internet. Plus went along to a session on web surveillance. It sounds sinister at first, but as we found out, it's not all about Big Brother breaching your privacy. Information on the web can help us catch terrorists and criminals and it can also identify a widespread practice called astroturfing.
In this, our second podcast from the AAA Meeting in Vancouver, Canada, we speak to Marcel Babin about using satellite images to measure the amount of organisms, such as phytoplankton, in the Arctic ocean and studies how this changing biological diversity can both indicate, and impact on, climate change.

The cycling press is having a field day with this headline from The Scottish Sun. I guess I'm contributing to the hype by writing this post but for me, it doesn't really change anything.
Though being a closeted gay man might somewhat explain Obree's two suicide attempts, I still believe the mystique of the tormented champion is still there. Gay or not, I think Obree still would have found the inner demons which kept his pedals cranking. No matter what exactly it was that tormented him, he suffered AND he won.
Obree's coming out to the media might throw some mortality into the myth of a mad genius superhuman. But the guy built his own bike, took the laws of physics into his own hands and broke the Hour Record twice (among plenty of other awesome accomplishments). For some, his coming out offers some kind of demystification to certain aspects of his character ("Ohhh so that's why he was depressed") but for me the man is still a complete legend.
Having said all that, it's still a very interesting story about how Obree struggled to come to terms with his own sexuality. Read more about his revelation on Bike Radar.
who cares anyway? he's still legend-waitforit-dary!

MILAN (Reuters) - U.S. investment bank J.P. Morgan
In an e-mailed statement, J.P. Morgan said it had never benefited from an indemnity agreement with Monte dei Paschi that prosecutors allege protected the U.S. investment bank from potential losses linked to a hybrid instrument used to partly fund the 2007 acquisition.
"No claim was ever made under this indemnity (which only existed for a matter of days) either for the benefit of J.P. Morgan or any of its employees," JP Morgan said.
"We believe that J.P. Morgan and its employees acted correctly at all times. We will defend this action vigorously," it said.

Make Good Use of Your Off-Season by Preparing Yourself, Your Bike, and Your Body for Next Season
December 13th, 2008 • Comments Motocross Tips
Tags: 2008, 2009, motocross, Motocross Tips, training, winter
Motocross is a fair weather sport, and unfortunately, this limits it to a little more than half the year for us northerners. Most riders take the off-season off, but I strongly believe that the offseason is a great time to improve your performance for the upcoming year. I've posted before on what I plan to do this winter, but this is meant to be a guide more specific improving your motocross performance over the off-season.
Train, Train, and Train Some More
-Photo by mrflip on Flickr.
Fitness is extremely important to your performance in motocross. Both strength and aerobic training off the track can be the difference between a stellar and a subpar season on the track. Contrary to popular belief, the off-season is not a good time to make huge gains in your physical fitness. Rather, the off-season is your chance to lay down a solid physical base for which you can build upon during pre-season training. During race season, most riders focus on riding and recovering based on motocross, forcing them to neglect their training. this is one of the reasons why off-season training is so important. Unfortunately, according to Aldon Baker, most riders underestimate the benefits of off-season training.
Unfortunately, many MX athletes short change their off-season training by jumping ahead and making it sort of a mini-Pre Season period by doing anaerobic intervals and generally race-type workouts. What a shame.
I totally agree with Aldon on this subject. The off-season is an incredibly crucial time of the season, and training correctly during this time period can have huge benefits come race time.
Troy Lee Designs Body Guard 2 Review
November 15th, 2008 • Comments Review
Tags: 2008, Leatt, motocross, Review, Troy Lee Designs
A lot of riders prefer not to not wear hard plastic chest protectors because they are bulkier than foam under-protectors. However, I believe that the added roost and crash protection provided by the hard plastic shell of a traditional chest protector is worth its added bulkiness. For 2008, I choose to wear a Troy Lee Designs Body Guard 2.
Build Quality
The build quality on the TLD Body Guard 2 (BG2) is absolutely stellar. Like a lot of the TLD products I have owned, the fit and finish of the BG2 was excellent. Almost every aspect of the BG2 has been refined to near perfection. For example, the shoulder cups are removable, but even the flexible pieces underneath the hard plastic shoulder cups are refined and finished with a carbon fiber esque look to them. In addition, all of the foam pads are removable resulting in very easy cleaning. Another really nice touch is that the side buckles are large and always easy to remove. As opposed to my old Fox Airframe, the large buckles are much easier to undo and almost never get clogged with mud. Overall, everything about the BG2 is very high quality, the brace feels very solid both on your body and in your hand.
Planning for 2009 (Step 1): Winter Cross-Training

The 2008 motocross season is over, as is summer, and it is time to start planning for 2009 as winter sets in.
Why Cross Train?
The winter off season provides the perfect time to cross train for motocross. A lot of riders ignore cross training as part of their motocross program, and I believe this is a mistake. Nothing can replace riding motocross in order to perfect your skills, however, being in good physical shape can do wonders for your riding. The winter off season is the perfect time to get this done because of the break from racing. The winter break gives riders time to take a needed mental break from riding in order to improve their physical condition. Come springtime, it is much easier to get back into the swing of motocross if you are in top physical condition as opposed to a lazy, out of shape lump after doing nothing all winter. This winter will be one of my first where I stick to a rigorous training schedule, and I am hoping that I will definitely notice a difference come February when I begin riding again.
Leatt Moto-GPX Club Brace Review
November 11th, 2008 • Comments Review
Tags: 2008, Aplinestars, EVS, Leatt, motocross, neck brace, protection, Review, Troy Lee Designs
The Leatt Moto-GPX Club and its more expensive brother, the "Sport," have completely revolutionized the neck protection market.
For years, the most advanced neck protection available was foam neck donuts with little to no scientific credence. In the past few years, however, as neck injuries have risen, so has the level of neck protection available. The Leatt Brace essentially created the advanced neck brace market, and has been followed by many "copies" including one from Alpinestars and EVS. However, the Leatt Moto-GPX Club is by far the most popular, and one of the most affordable braces on the market, and this is why I choose it as my neck protection for 2008.

Overall, the build quality of the Club is pretty good. The brace feels very solid in the hand, and does not feel cheaply made at all. The higher end model, the Sport features carbon fiber segments of the brace which save about 70 grams (according to the Leatt-Brace website), but the added price is not worth the minimal savings, in my opinion. Another nice feature of the Leatt is the removable pads. This makes cleaning a snap after mud races. The pads can be thrown in the wash and the hard plastic sections washed with hot soapy water. However, I did find a problem with this method. When using water, the glue holding the velcro sections onto the hard plastic parts of the brace seemed to disintegrate. I have not heard of other reports of this problem, but it definitely makes me leery of cleaning the brace regularly. I hope that in the future the Leatt company will upgrade to higher quality glue in order to prevent this from happening in the future.
Recap of my 2008 Racing Season
November 11th, 2008 • Comments Racing Update
Tags: 2008, 2009, Factory Connection, Jolly Rogers, motocross, NESC, X-Pro
The 2008 motocross season is over, and it was a huge learning experience for me.
2008 was my first year on big bikes, and it was a lot of fun. I took the spring season completely off from racing and almost entirely off from riding. This gave both my father and I a needed mental and financial break from motocross. In addition, it allowed to get in better shape, so I would be ready for the bigger bikes, and it gave my dad time to find me a bike. After a few weeks of searching, my dad and X-Pro put together a 2006 RMZ250f for me. Although it is a few years old, X-Pro completely went through the entire bike, getting in back into excellent shape. The suspension was sent to Factory Connection and it worked awesome all season long. It may not have been the newest bike on the track, but it definitely was sufficient for my needs, and allowed me to adjust to the full sized four-stroke motocross bikes.
NESC Fall Series
After spending the Spring Series getting my bike together, I finally began racing in the fall in the NESC Fall Series. I had to miss the first race at MX207 because of mechanical issues with our box truck, so this meant that my first race of the year would be at CCC in Central Village, CT. This race was humbling to say the least, I hadn't ridden in weeks, and it was my first time ever riding my new bike. After a few weeks of racing, however, I finally started to get the hang of the bigger bike. I even managed to win a race in the 125 Youth C class at Jolly Rogers. A few weeks into the season, and I had already earned enough points to move up to the 125 Youth B class. This class was a lot faster than the C, but it felt good to know that I had moved out of the Youth C class after years of racing that class on my underpowered (compared to the 250fs) KX100. My first few races were really tough in the newer class, but, eventually I got the hang of the new pace, and began to improve my results. My best finish of the year in the Youth B class was a 5th at Jolly Rogers.

Will the recent CPME 320 residency changes, including the new three-year residency standard, be beneficial for podiatry?
- Mon, 11/15/10 - 11:56am
- 6850 reads
- 28 comments
Having practiced for 35 years, I have seen quite an evolution of the profession of podiatry. There have always seemed to be many "crises" on the horizon. Despite this, our profession has moved on and survived.
Today, practicing as a podiatrist, you see many problems, not all of which require surgical intervention. Also with the decrease in reimbursements and the rising cost of malpractice insurance, one must consider how much surgery you choose to perform. It may be interesting to listen to presentations of some "exotic procedures" at a seminar but in reality, not many podiatrists see them in the average practice.
Requiring a three-year residency may seem to elevate our profession but if there are "78 more applications for residencies than there are slots available," what are those 78 graduates to do? If they have been able to do well enough to obtain a DPM, is it fair to not allow them to practice because there are not enough residencies available? Who would want to enter a profession where you could achieve four years of education, a degree and amass a considerable debt, but not be able to practice your profession? This doesn't sound like a good gamble to me.
Not all podiatrists can be great surgeons but you can obtain great satisfaction from helping people to feel and function better. Over 35 years, I have treated many patients - the frightened child, the weekend warrior, the everyday worker, the nursing home resident and enjoyed all of it. Having someone leave the office after a "minor procedure" and say "Doc, that feels much better" is satisfaction that you receive everyday. You can't say that about every job.
I only hope that those graduating today and in the future (whether or not there is a 3-year residency requirement) can enjoy their years of practice as much as I have and continue to do everyday.Reply to this comment »
As a 29-year practicing podiatrist on the north shore of Chicago who was 'overlooked' for residency training and opted for a 2-year preceptorship (anyone remember that term?), I find it fascinating that the podiatry community is STILL having this in-house confrontation.
I have been wildly successful with the admiration of ALL medical disciplines and my thousands of grateful patients of ALL ethnicities. If you are a young person with personality disorders that drive you to self-loathing, podiatry does NOT need you. Get out now!
Margaret Buckner-Lawson, DPM

A three-year residency is a must for anyone who ever hopes to compete against the foot orthopedists. However, not all podiatrists aspire to be the "go to" foot surgeon in their area. Couple this with the facts that most podiatrists make the majority of their living in the office (not the hospital) and that there are not enough three-year residencies to go around.
Why not make two-year year residency training mandatory and then just add surgical fellowships for those who apply and are accepted?Reply to this comment »
I graduated a 3-year surgical residency program and have been in private practice since 2006. I am currently board qualified and have met enough cases to sit for both the foot and rearfoot boards next year. With my training, I feel comfortable in tackling any foot or ankle pathology that enters through my office doors.
This is what podiatry should be in the 21st century! We should be trained to the fullest extent possible. We are podiatrists and as such, we should be able to treat any pathology of the foot and ankle from bare onychomycosis and routine foot care to flatfoot reconstruction (it is the foot isn't it?)and more.
A 3-year residency should be the standard. Anyone who does not want to become a surgeon should not become a podiatrist. They should look for another profession.
Things have changed. Welcome to the 21st century! By the way, I have no problem doing routine foot care at all. I am a podiatrist.
I am very happy with my career choice. I am able to enjoy a comfortable living and am paying my student loans easily. I have admitting privileges at my local hospital and am well respected in the local medical community.Reply to this comment »
I do not believe every podiatrist needs to be a surgeon. I don't think that every podiatrist wants to be a surgeon. Not every dentist is forced to be an oral surgeon. There is a great need for non-surgical podiatry! A busy surgical podiatrist hasn't the time for all the routine foot care. There can be a great referral pattern between the two.Reply to this comment »
I truly believe that gaining knowledge is to anyone's benefit. I have been in practice many years too, have become the Chief of Staff at my hospital and I will be proud to have well trained podiatrists, who, besides doing surgery, care for their patients. We all stand proud for the colleagues that brought us here and for the new breed that will take us far.Reply to this comment »
I am currently an undergraduate student who would like to pursue a career in podiatry. After reading all these comments, I must admit that I am second guessing my choice to go into podiatry. I love everything that podiatry has to offer - being your own boss, doing some surgery, specializing right away, but the bureaucracy of our/your profession is appalling!
How can you expect to attract young bright people to your profession if you have so many negative opinions? I truly believe podiatry can be a rewarding career and is for many of you. That being said, you need to get your act together before people like me will be one hundred percent confident on joining your profession. You owe it to yourselves and to young people like me who are genuinely interested in curing ailments of the lower extremity.Reply to this comment »
If the shortage of PM&S-36 residency slots can be solved, I think it is a great idea to move to all PM&S-36 programs. I recently graduated from a PM&S-36 residency program in 2009. I really enjoyed my well rounded training in both medicine and surgery. Now in private practice, I find myself reflecting back on the knowledge I learned from my infectious disease rotation, internal medicine rotation, vascular sx, etc. I really do feel confident discussing issues related to diabetes, CHF, PVD etc. with the patient's PCP.
During my training I was exposed to a lot of different types of forefoot and rearfoot surgery. Although I logged many cases, I enjoy treating patients more conservatively and I am okay with referring PTTD with PT tendon tears, etc., to other podiatrists who have developed a passion for a more surgically based practice.
By completing a 3-year program, I gained an appreciation for what goes into the various surgeries to correct foot and ankle conditions, but this doesn't mean I have to do every surgery I learned. I learned what surgeries I feel comfortable doing and which ones I know I want to refer to my colleagues who enjoy doing them.
This is a fantastic profession and I am so happy I have chosen it. There are so many wonderful relationships you build with your patients and you can be treated like a hero by them for doing simple procedures such as taking out an infected ingrown toenail or treating a foot ulcer. If any potential student would like to shadow me or if you have any questions, you can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com to this comment »

Top-ranked recipe named "Dad's "Wakeup Makeup" Breakfast Casserole"
A quick - "throw together" breakfast casserole that will please your hungry "crew".
"I went about this all backwards - I planned for it. Nothing was a leftover. I actually had to shop to make it. I used my homemade pico de gallo salsa (fresh) and because I had to bake the potatoes in the morning (not thinking ahead) - they turned out more like mash. But who cares! This was great! Even my husband (a strict English breakfast only cat) said it looked great. Yum yum and will make again!"- cleverkt
Preheat oven to 375F. Grease the bottom of a 9X12 baking dish with the butter.
Slice the potatos diagonally in 1/4 - 1/2 inch slices. Leave skins on. Place a layer on the botton of the dish.
Cover the potatos w/ a layer of refried beans. Top that with the rest of the potatos. Spread about 1/2 the salsa over the layers followed by 1/2 of the cheese.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, and mix them with a whisk or fork. Add salt & pepper then pour eggs into the baking dish.
Top the layers with the remaining cheese. Cover dish w/ foil and bake about 45 mins. At about 30 mins you can remove the foil to allow the top to brown. When a knife comes out clean it's ready.
Put the remaining salsa (warmed) on top as garnish.
Serve with warmed flour tortillas. You may want a spicier salsa on the side for the "pepper bellies" in the group.
Pete Romfh, Dec. 2002
The name is a family story. On Christmas Eve, 2002, Daughter mentioned to Dad at 2:00 AM that she needed to take breakfast to the theatre in the morning for "the crew". At 7:00 AM Dad wokeup, looked through Daughter's kitchen to see what was on hand, and made up this recipe. Thus the name "Wakeup - Makeup".

The Saul Bass Collection
The Saul Bass Collection consists of title sequences, logo designs, commercials, short films and television work by the legendary designer and filmmaker. The collection includes the work for which Bass is best known: his iconic title sequences for films by Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Otto Preminger and Martin Scorsese. It also includes lesser-known work such as commercials for Dixie Cups, Ray-O-Vac, Westinghouse and National Bohemian Beer; later work for such companies as AT&T, NBC and Mattel; and the visual sequences that Bass helped create as a consultant on such films as "Grand Prix" and "Psycho."
The collection also contains extensive materials on the Academy Award-winning® documentary short subject "Why Man Creates" and the Academy Award-nominated live action shorts "Notes on the Popular Arts" and "The Solar Film," all of which Bass directed in collaboration with his wife Elaine. It also includes production materials related to "Phase IV," a feature film that Bass directed, and "Quest," a science fiction short that the couple produced and directed together.
The film material at the Academy Film Archive is complemented by paper material, photographs, design sketches and posters in the Saul Bass Collection at the Academy's Margaret Herrick Library.
More about Saul Bass
Saul Bass was one of the most versatile and influential figures of 20th century design, who in his 60-year professional career (1936–1996) revolutionized the field of film title sequences and created dozens of corporate trademarks that have become instantly recognizable elements of contemporary visual culture. Best known for the bold images and kinetic typography of his motion picture title sequences, Bass is also famous for the compressed, intense minimalism exemplified in his film posters. He received an Academy Award for "Why Man Creates" in 1968, and the AIGA Medal, the American Institute of Graphic Arts' highest honor, in 1981.

São Paulo salute wonderkid and champion Lucas Moura with an 'Obrigado' as he heads to Paris
O moleque é campeão - the kid is a champion. Last night was Lucas Moura's final game for São Paulo, a club he's been a part of since the age of 13. Like many other Brazilians, golden boy Lucas leaves the team as champion and unsung hero, Europe now awaits him…
Through the magic of Lucas's vision, São Paulo ended their four year trophy draught with a well-earned, but controversial Copa Sudamericana victory over Tigre. Despite the opposition choosing not to play the second half of the final due to security issues and alleged police violence, celebrations inside the São Paulo fortress, known as the Morumbi - recreated a typical Carnaval. And Lucas was the king.
When the moment came for their eternal captain Rogerio Ceni to lift the trophy, as seen on all previous 17 occasions, he gave the honour to Lucas Moura, the club's superstar, who scored the first goal of the match. He told him:
"Lift up the trophy and write your name into eternity."
After lifting his first trophy for the club, the microphone was passed to an emotional Lucas, who addressed the 67,000 strong roaring Morumbi for one last time:
"I want to thank your support and love, if it wasn't for you (the fans) then I woudln't have the pleasure of entering the pitch with this shirt. This title is for you. I love São Paulo and one day I shall return to play for this club."
The entire team hugged the club's number 7, who's been their star since making his debut in 2010. He's been a true artist, a dancer on the pitch and a hero to thousands. His performances in Brazil did not disappoint, which saw him pick up several accolades and attention from the old continent. Naturally, the offers came in, resulting in a horse race between Manchester United and PSG. His destination was the French capital, as he was persuaded by director Leonardo. São Paulo are also happy to see their prodigy move to France, as the Brazilian club will receive a grand €45m in return for his signature.
€45m is a sum higher than what was paid for Kaka, Oscar or Thiago Silva to go overseas; all of whom have flourished (or are flourishing) in Europe. But placing the millions aside, Lucas Moura leaves Brazil as a 'golden boy', another star of a promising generation and now as a champion. Greater challenges await him: playing with Zlatan, fighting to conquer PSG's first Champions League and establishing himself amongst Europe's best.
As Oscar departed to Chelsea in the summer, with Ganso slightly stagnating and Lucas Moura now flying to Paris; Neymar is the only main talent still shining in Brazil. However, we'll see them all reunited next summer as they're all expected to feature in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup. Até já, moleque! [Posted by o nosso Dom]

Status update: looking generally confused. Rowan Atkinson's Mr Bean has celebrated the not insignificant milestone of more than 20 million fans on Facebook. AKA twice as many as Top Gear. And to think, they only ever made 14 half-hour episodes. And two films. And a packet of biscuits (in a deal with Dutch company Verkade, since you ask). That really takes the biscuit. And not to be confused with this Mr Bean biscuit, presumably. Anyway, 20 million fans, eh?
