Mavs' Final Four – A Year's Difference
Last year on April 10th, a Los Angeles Lakers' 113-106 victory in Portland eliminated the Dallas Mavericks from playoff contention for the first time in 12 seasons.
The Mavericks ended the 2012-2013 season 41-41.
It's actually quite remarkable they even did that well. Dirk Nowitzki missed 29 games for a team built around an overload of one-year contracts.
And remember those long, scruffy beards that some players pulled off much better than others? Of course you do! O.J. Mayo and Vince Carter looked rather normal, Chris Kaman just increased his caveman appearance and Dirk looked like he'd gone crazed with all the chaos surrounding him.
The worst part about the fiasco was the fact they were 'Get to .500′ beards, not 'Make the playoffs' beards. A team recently celebrating its first NBA championship, was reduced to reaching for mediocrity.
We've almost come full circle to that April 10th night, but this time around the Mavericks find themselves in a full-fledged battle with three teams for two playoff spots.
It only happens that Dallas is likely to end up 6th through 8th in the extremely talented Western Conference while they along with the Memphis Grizzlies and Phoenix Suns would all be a 3rd seed in the East.
Making the playoffs is what counts. Dirk and his much-improved cast have four games left to stake their claim for a postseason return.
With four games left last year, the Mavericks were solely playing to finish .500. This time they're final four mean everything. They win, they're in. It's a great feeling.

... Gay people have a different role than other minority groups ... Very few black kids have ever had to worry about telling their parents that they were black.
... I'm used to being in the minority. I'm a left-handed gay Jew. I've never felt, automatically, a member of any majority.
... I think there is too much bloviating around from politicians.
... They're (congressional opponents) saying that my ability to marry another man somehow jeopardizes heterosexual marriage. Then they go out and cheat on their wives.
... The problem with the war in Iraq is not so much the intelligence as the stupidity.
... On what planet do you spend most of your time? (in response to a critic at a town hall meeting)
... It is, of course, further indication that a fundamentalist right has really taken over much of the Republican Party. People might cite George Bush as proof that you can be totally impervious to the effects of Harvard and Yale education.
... Martin Luther King said, and it is sadly still true, that one of the most segregated times in America is the hour of worship.
...The fact that they're a congressionally chartered group should no more incline people to give to that group than the fact that it's National Pickle Month should make them eat more pickles.
... The left and the right live in parallel universes. The right listens to talk radio, the left's on the Internet and they just reinforce one another. They have no sense of reality. I have now one ambition: to retire before it becomes essential to tweet.
... This bill is the legislative equivalent of crack. It yields a short-term high but does long-term damage to the system and it's expensive to boot.
... If you're not able to work closely with people you despise, you can't really work here.
... There is a correlation between people who attack same-sex marriage and have difficulty maintaining their own.
... I don't begrudge Ronald Reagan an occasional nap. We must understand it's not the dozing off of Ronald Reagan that causes us problems. It's what he does on those moments when he's awake.
... I have this fear that one day there's going to be a fire in the Senate and there are only going to be 57 Senators there and they'll all die because they won't have the 60 votes to allow themselves to leave the building.
... Rather than the boy who cried wolf, George Bush is the reverse. He claims that there is nothing wrong when there is. He's the boy who cried, "Nice doggie."
... Every politician is entitled to privacy, but no politician is entitled to hypocrisy.
... Asking the White House to support more government intervention was "like asking me to judge the Miss America contest -- if your heart's not in it, you don't do a very good job."
... Ronald Reagan believes in the free market like some people believe in unicorns.
... There are rules of excessive civility around here to which I generally subscribe. You do need a certain amount of courtliness in the system. But that, in itself, can become a form of abuse. There are limits to when you restrain yourself from calling a fool a fool.
... I threatened to name the names of gay-bashers...They're entitled to privacy, but they're not entitled to hypocrisy. You can't vote for the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit vote and drive 80 mph. If Jimmy Swaggart wants to go to a motel room with some other woman, I'm not going to pay much attention to it --unless it's Jimmy Swaggart who has made millions of dollars anathematizing other people from even thinking about doing the same thing.

Randall WoolfPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
Whether he is composing for members of Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, orchestrating the film American Psycho, or creating works for the children's ensemble Tales and Scales, Randy's music occupies a terrain both familiar and yet fresh. His preferred medium seems to be the combination of sampled sound and live performers.
Listening to Woolf's music is akin to looking at a familiar photograph in which each pixel has been magnified. You recognize the sources, but your attention is deepened and blurred through the detailed treatments. He likes to take vernacular styles – anything from hip-hop to country western – and mix them into metrically complex textures, feeding on their inherent energy while simultaneously commenting on that energy and its cultural context.
Imagine Steve Reich focusing his lens on the fine details in life instead of the grand scheme and you have a glimpse of one important facet of Woolf's world.
Ransom Wilson led our orchestra in a performance of Woolf'sHee Haw on Saturday night. Scored for chamber orchestra, two singers and sampler, Hee Haw subjects square dance music to sudden shifts in tone and perspective, from the caller's exhortations to an extended passage of twisted fiddling. It's funny and invigorating. I couldn't help thinking, halfway through, that the shifting perspectives and angles ended up producing a cubist — rather than a square — dance.

How does virtuality translate into reality?
This week in my bioelectricity class, we spoke about electrical stimulation of nerves. One method of stimulation is to place a electrode directly on the surface of a nerve. One of the considerations of this method, however, is that the anode (positively charged side) and cathode (negatively charged side) of the electrode each cause a redistribution of charge around the electrode. Consequently, the anode induces a complementary "virtual cathode" and the cathode creates a complementary "virtual anode." These components aren't actually there, but we can observe a similar redistribution of charge that implies that something unseen is going on. Despite the fact that these components are not physically present, they have real effects on the functionality of both the electrode and the nerve. The virtual cathode and anode can cause a very real, measurable voltage change in the nerve, and can effectively block a nerve signal, which is dependent on the voltage.
In what other ways can intangible entities have physical manifestations? In this case, the unintended effect has a negative consequence, but can we find useful applications of such a circumstance?
Also, if these imaginary aspects can effect reality, what does that say about our definition of what is real and what isn't?

The Vulcan® 1700 Nomad™ ABS may look like it rolled out of the history books, but at it's heart, the Nomad is a thoroughly modern motorcycle. Outfitted with a full-sized windshield, hard saddlebags, floorboards, backrest and standard cruise control, this Vulcan has everything needed to both stand out on the boulevard and follow the front wheel towards distant horizons. The low-slung seat makes maneuvering a breeze at the local bike night while the shape and padding of the saddle and pillion keep the rider and passenger comfortable during long days on the open road. Through it all, the pulse of the 1700cc V-twin wraps itself around your soul, enticing you to keep on riding long after the sunset has stopped reflecting in the Nomad's silky two-tone paint.
Traditional Styling with Contemporary Technology
The Vulcan® 1700 Nomad™ ABS may look like it rolled out of the history books, but at it's heart, the Nomad is a thoroughly modern motorcycle. Outfitted with a full-sized windshield, hard saddlebags, floorboards, backrest and standard cruise control, this Vulcan has everything needed to both stand out on the boulevard and follow the front wheel towards distant horizons. The low-slung seat makes maneuvering a breeze at the local bike night while the shape and padding of the saddle and pillion keep the rider and passenger comfortable during long days on the open road. Through it all, the pulse of the 1700cc V-twin wraps itself around your soul, enticing you to keep on riding long after the sunset has stopped reflecting in the Nomad's silky two-tone paint.
In addition to good looks, the Nomad touring cruiser has the technological chops to support its "been there done that" attitude. The powerful engine is as comfortable loafing along the boulevard as it is cruising across state lines. All that is required to motivate this classically-styled bagger is a twist of the throttle. The state-of-the-art digital fuel injection and two big pistons take care of the rest.
The key to the Nomad's considerable flexibility is its blend of touring-oriented hardware and the uniquely designed Vulcan 1700 platform, which offers a ton of versatility and performance whether in Voyager®, Vaquero® or Nomad configuration.
It all starts with that engine, a completely modern interpretation of the big-inch V-twin that's forged such a hearty reputation over the decades. This 1,700cc powerplant features liquid cooling, a 52-degree V angle, overhead cams, high compression, a long-stroke design and all the latest technology for prodigious power and torque spread over a shockingly wide rpm range. Stylish mufflers not only enhance the look, but also give it the deep sound you'd expect from a bike like this. There's not only loads of torque down low – the range you'll spend most of your time in while aboard – but there is also plenty of grunt all the way to 5,000 rpm.
Just twist the throttle, and the Nomad generates forward thrust without hesitation, providing ample acceleration for spirited riding and waves of low-rpm torque when you're just thump-thumping along in top gear, checking out the scenery and relaxing.
More useful technology is found in the Nomad's fully Electronic Throttle Valve system. Working with the rest of the advanced fuel injection system, the electronic throttle valve enhances engine response without detracting from its distinctive V-twin feel. The system utilizes an Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) and a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). Both units feed data to the ECU, which adjusts the throttle plates to tailor intake airflow accordingly. The system offers a natural throttle feel, because the APS is activated by a throttle body pulley connected by cables to the throttle grip. Besides the obvious FI advantages such as improved fuel economy and automatic adjustment for altitude changes, the system also permits easy hands-off warm-up and idle speed control. The Nomad additionally features a water-cooled alternator that produces a staggering 46.8 amps of electrical output – plenty to power a selection of electronic accessories to enrich motorcycle travel.
Nomad's electronic cruise control system is conveniently operated from the right handlebar, and can be engaged at any speed between 30 and 85 mph in any of the top four gears. The cruise system can be disengaged in any of the following ways: brake lever, clutch lever, rear brake pedal, or manually turning the throttle grip past the "closed" position. Its six-speed transmission offers positive shifting action and features overdriven 5th and 6th gears, which contribute greatly to a relaxed ride and excellent fuel economy at highway speeds. Power is routed to the rear wheel via a carbon fiber drive belt that has a 40-percent higher tensile strength than current Kevlar belts.
Color-matched, lockable hard saddlebags are shared by the Nomad the Vulcan 1700 Voyager; these top-opening side cases are beautifully integrated and offer bountiful storage: 10 gallons each (38L) as well as front and rear guards to help protect the bike's engine and saddlebags in case of a tip-over. (Helmet locks are conveniently located on the left- and right-side saddlebag guards.)
Keeping the rider and passenger comfortable on long rides is a top priority, and the Vulcan 1700 Nomad delivers with deluxe seats sculpted to provide additional support for all-day rides. A special backrest with integrated grab bars and floorboards for both the rider and passenger further contribute to the Nomad's long-distance abilities.
Vulcan designers were able to infuse abundant technology into the 1700 Nomad without sacrificing any of the charm and visual appeal expected from a Kawasaki touring cruiser. Meticulous attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship of the engine covers, bodywork design and side cases result in a motorcycle that turns heads whether parked in front of a café or cruising down the highway.
Designed to be as light and slim as possible, the Nomad's single backbone double cradle frame offers a short seat-to-steering head distance, with a correspondingly short wheelbase. That easy-to-reach handlebar facilitates slow-speed maneuvering and helps maximize rider confidence. Adding to the light and easy handling are suspension components that match the Vulcan 1700 Nomad's intended usage. An elegantly simple rear swingarm with twin air-assisted shocks provides 3.1 inches of rear suspension travel, and features air spring preload and four-way rebound adjustment. Up front, a large 43mm fork offers precise steering feedback and 5.5 inches of travel.
Nomad rolls on nine-spoke cast wheels fitted with tubeless tires: a 130/90 front and 170/70 rear are mounted. Dual 300mm front disc brakes with twin-piston calipers and a 300mm rear disc brake with a two-piston caliper help bring this stylish machine to sure, powerful stops.
The 1700 Nomad's driveline/braking technology is enhanced by the Kawasaki Advanced Coactive Braking Technology (K-ACT) ABS system. K-ACT uses advanced electronics to translate the rider's braking inputs from both the front lever and rear pedal into smooth, balanced deceleration and maximum stopping performance. Basically, the front lever also activates the rear brake, and the rear pedal also engages the right front caliper. K-ACT ensures all this happens seamlessly and efficiently, and the second-generation system uses the same smaller, lighter ABS unit and faster, higher-spec brake ECU found on the Kawasaki Concours® 14 ABS motorcycle for even smoother, more precise operation. K-ACT's coactive function does not engage when braking is applied at speeds below 12 mph, and the ABS function is automatically disengaged at speeds below 4 mph.
With its combination of traditional styling, sophisticated technology and touring refinement, there's really nothing else out there quite like the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Nomad ABS. Time to hit the open road…
Genuine Kawasaki Accessories are available through authorized Kawasaki dealers.
It has been a half century since Kawasaki started full-scale production of motorcycles. Our first motorcycle engine was designed based on technical know-how garnered from the development and production of aircraft engines. Our entry into the motorcycle industry was driven by Kawasaki's constant effort to develop new technologies. Over the years we have released numerous new models that have helped shape the market, and in the process created many enduring legends based on the speed and power of our machines. As Kawasaki's Commitment to Performance and Styling continues to redefine the standards of high performance and riding pleasure, our latest challenges will surely give birth to new legends!
• Height adjustable, full-sized, windshield provides classic style and optically correct view
• Weatherproof, lockable, color matched, top-opening hard saddlebags offer ample, easy to pack storage
• Deluxe passenger backrest with stylish chrome bracket and ergonomic grab handles for passenger comfort
• Powerful 1,700cc single crankpin V-twin offers great sound and impressive torque
• Kawasaki's sophisticated K-ACT ABS system builds rider confidence by helping execute controlled, balanced braking
• Six-speed transmission for effortless acceleration and relaxed cruising at highway speeds
• Electronic cruise control maintains speed, reducing rider fatigue on long trips, and interfaces with the electronic throttle valve system for smooth operation
• Low 28.7-inch seat height enhances rider comfort and confidence
• Includes a 24 month limited factory warranty. Optional supplementary plans offer a maximum of 48 additional months of Kawasaki's Protection Plus™ coverage—bumping the total possible warranty to an amazing SIX YEARS!
• Handlebar-mounted and optically correct, the adjustable windscreen is shaped for optimum airflow management without compromising the Nomad's cruiser styling
• Strong, chrome-plated steel supports
• Two-position height
• Sub-windshield and deflectors further increase wind protection
• The sub-windshield covers the area between the windshield and headlight when the windshield is in the raised position, while fork-mounted deflectors help direct air away from the rider's legs
• Sculpted rider and passenger seats offer all-day comfort and support
• Sturdy backrest with integrated passenger grab bars contributes to passenger confidence
• Passenger floorboards add extra comfort to the 2-up equation
• The Nomad features hard, lockable, top-opening side cases that each provide 10 gallons (38L) of sealed storage space for overnight touring
• Front and rear guards help protect the bike's engine and hard side cases in the event of a tip-over
• Helmet locks are conveniently located on the left- and right-side saddlebag guards
• Liquid-cooled, four valves per cylinder, fuel-injected 1,700cc 52-degree V-twin engine
• Long-stroke 102 x 104mm bore and stroke helps deliver high levels of torque with a distinct V-twin feel
• Valve system uses a single overhead cam arrangement instead of pushrods for quicker revving and enhanced mid-high rpm power
• Semi-dry sump design allows a lower crankshaft placement and a longer piston stroke without increasing engine height
• Single-pin crank accentuates the engine's V-twin character by providing stronger power pulses
• Large-capacity airbox is located on both sides of the engine
• Small-diameter iridium sparkplugs reach deep into the combustion chamber for high combustion efficiency, especially during low-load operation
• Dual mufflers, one on each side of the bike, allow maximum clearance for luggage
• Engine tuning offers superior acceleration in the 50 to 70 mph range
• Even in overdrive, the engine pulls strongly in this speed range, facilitating overtaking at highway speeds
• The touring-oriented Nomad utilizes DFI® and exhaust systems tuned to reach peak torque and horsepower at a higher rpm than the engines used in standard Vulcan 1700 cruisers
• Onboard diagnostic system allows self-testing of the electronic systems on the Vulcan 1700
• System displays codes on the instrumentation, which can be read by owner using accessory manual
• Fully electronic throttle actuation system enables the ECU to control the volume of intake air (via throttle valve angle) and fuel (via fuel injector timing) delivered to the engine
• Optimized fuel injector timing and throttle valve position results in accurate, powerful engine response
• Control of both fuel injection and airflow provides easy starting and precise cold-engine idle speed control
• From the rider's perspective, the ETV works like a standard cable-operated throttle; the throttle grip is still connected to cables, so the feel at the grip is the same
• Twisting the throttle turns a pulley on the throttle body, which triggers the Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) to send a signal to the ECU, which then modulates the throttle valves via a DC motor
• Accurate throttle position is relayed to the ECU by a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
• APS and TPS send two sets of signals to the ECU for system redundancy in the unlikely event of a sensor failure
• Cruise control can be engaged and adjusted entirely from the right handlebar
• Cruise control can be activated in 3rd gear or above at any speed between 30 mph and 85 mph
• Pressure on the brake lever, clutch lever or rear brake pedal will automatically disengage the cruise control, as will manually rolling off the throttle
• Six-speed transmission with positive neutral finder
• 5th and 6th are overdrive gears for excellent fuel economy when cruising at highway speeds
• 28mm carbon fiber final drive belt has a tensile strength that's 40 percent greater compared to current Kevlar belts, allowing the Vulcan 1700 to use a slim belt only 2mm wider than the Kevlar unit on the Vulcan 900
• Belt drive system is quiet, efficient and offers reduced maintenance compared to a chain
• The frame features a short wheelbase for optimal ergonomics and easy maneuverability
• Lightweight and slim, the frame minimizes the number of forged parts and trims any unnecessary metal. The only forged parts are areas that require additional strength: the down-tube joint, engine brackets, side-stand bracket, and rear fender/shock absorber bracket
• This compact design contributes to light handling and facilitates low-speed handling, especially maneuvers such as parking or U-turns
• Provides superb steering feedback
• 5.5 inches of travel for excellent ride quality
• Optimized damping and spring settings for a plush but controlled ride
• Air-adjustable shocks can be tuned to match varying rider and passenger loads
• 4-way rebound damping adjustments help the shocks compensate for changes in spring pressure
• Chrome shock covers contribute to the bike's overall luxurious finish
• Allow the use of tubeless tires, and nicely complement the Nomad's styling
• 130/90 front and 170/70 rear tires
• Tire choice and suspension settings selected augment the chassis' light handling characteristics
• Basic engine architecture positively impacts the V-twin's overall appearance
• The line created by the top of the airbox and the cylinder heads forms a curved shape that continues to flow through the bike
• Deeply chromed engine covers have curved upper surfaces; their three-dimensional form adds volume and gives a high-quality appearance
• Cooling fin edges have a special NC treatment that makes them gleam in sunlight
• All the engine's non-chromed parts have a matte black finish to accentuate the chrome
• The fuel tank's hand-sculpted contours employ constantly varying radii, giving the bike a dynamic flowing style which is pleasing both to the eye and to the touch
• Elegantly shaped fuel tank contributes to the Nomad's curvaceous figure
• Front fender design continues through the rear fender, which features an elegant LED taillight
• Ignition switch allows on-position key removal, which prevents keys from scratching the instrument cluster or tank while the bike is in operation
• Turning the ignition switch to the "OFF" position turns the engine off and necessitates re-insertion of the key to restart
• Multi-function LCD displays on the tank-mounted instrument cluster are controlled by switches on the right handle. Features include a gear-position indicator, fuel gauge, clock, odometer, dual trip meters, remaining range and average fuel consumption
• Liberal use of chrome on the engine, fender brackets, light stays, saddlebag accents and front and rear guards contrasts nicely with the bodywork's deep, lustrous paint
• Nomad ABS features Kawasaki's sophisticated K-ACT II system, which helps riders to execute controlled, balanced braking. Designed to complement the riders' brake inputs, the system distributes the ideal amount of brake pressure to maximize braking efficiency
• Low battery mode maintains ABS function while reducing signal frequency to conserve power when needed
• For increased controllability in tight corners and when executing U-turns, K-ACT's coactive function does not engage when braking is initiated at speeds below 12 mph
• ABS function is disengaged at speeds below 4 mph
• Dual 300mm front disc brakes with four-piston calipers and a two-piston rear disc brake for sure, powerful stops

It wasn't Watson. Don't tell me, I suppose he was fictional too. Maybe there was no giant dog.
I bet Douglas Reynholm is excited for the upcoming Sherlock
episode documentary, The Hounds of Baskerville.
I love all the tacit moments on this show. It's like the characters communicate to each other with just their faces and yet they, as well as the audience, know exactly what's being communicated.
Irene, you ballbuster, you.
That subtle facial tic Benedict does to show Sherlock's growing frustration in A Study in Pink. Ahh, the little things.
"Hey, go away! I'm showering here!"
"That is my in-house rockstar that lives in the shower room."
If only that's what was in my shower.
Instead I just have various hair dye stains and a drain full of fallen hair.
I actually had to take a break while making this one. I was getting so flustered, I couldn't handle it XD
This had to be in slow motion. For reasons.
It took me forever to get it under 500K :(
Oh, God! Don't! What are you, bulimia?
Now you're gonna start a chain reaction puke-a-thon.
Pickled herring is also a staple in Polish cuisine, especially at Christmas, and for YEARS I refused to eat it.
Every Christmas would go something like this:
Mom: How can you know you don't like it if you've never even tried it.
Me: I don't even want to try it, just the idea of it is gross.
Mom: What's so gross about it?
Me: It's pickled fish! Who the hell pickles fish!?
Finally when Metalocalypse came out I showed her this scene XD I think she finally got that I wasn't the only one who thought it was gross. Pickled fish. Pfft.
I have tried it since then, and mehh, I can only eat it if I have a lot of bread with it to dilute the flavour, lol.
[From Life's Too Short Making of]
Such perfect synchronization.
I haven't been on tumblr much the past few days and will continue to be fairly absent for a few more because finals for this term are coming up, so of course EVERYTHING is due the last week before, as if they can't spread out assignments throughout the term. Eughh.
I'll probably start using tumblr more regularly come late Wednesday. In the meantime I'll leave you with this:
I have this gif saved on my computer, I wish I could remember who I saved it from, but I cropped the sides and added the text.

The Ohio governor's office pushed for the firing of the executive director of the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy, according to a report released by the Associated Press Tuesday.
With diabetes and other diseases at epidemic levels, the need for more pharmacies to step up and offer accessible, convenient patient screening for a variety of serious and even life-threatening conditions is clear, a panel of pharmacists asserted at the NACDS Total Store Expo "Convenient Care — Point of Care Testing in the Pharmacy" Insight Session in late August. So, too, is the opportunity to drive new business to the pharmacy through point-of-care testing services.
The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday announced approval for Movantik (naloxegol), a treatment for opioid-induced constipation in adults.

Thanks to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Five-Star Quality Rating System, the diabetes community stands to play a significant role in how pharmacies think about their patients and their medication adherence programs.

Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: JNPR VFC MDLZ BIIB SLB BRCM (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
(Updates from 10:44 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Monday.
Jefferies downgraded Juniper Networks (JNPR). Cramer agreed, saying that in this part of the technology sector Cisco (CSCO) is the winner. Cisco is a holding in Cramer's charitable trust, Action Alerts Plus. JNPR fell 1.4% to $20.75.
Cramer disagreed with the downgrade of one of his faves, VF Corp (VFC), to hold from buy. He said the company's management is doing well and the stock should be bought on any weakness. VFC fell 1.1% to $194.86.Wells Fargo says to buy Mondelez (MDLZ).Cramer said we'll hear more about any potential merger with PepsiCo (PEP) when the latter reports earnings on Wednesday. MDLZ was unchanged at $30.70. Cramer says to buy Biogen (BIIB), which is his strategy for other biotech stocks that have had pullbacks this year. BIIB rose nearly 1% to $231.67. On Schlumberger (SLB), Cramer said the company has had its "best quarter of the year so far," with the company nailing every metric. SLB rose 1.3% to $83.81. Broadcom (BRCM), meanwhile, has been "a real dog" this year, according to Cramer. Goldman Sachs may not be worried about the company, he said, but he's not going to take a stand on the stock. BRCM fell 1.3% to $33.25. To sign up for Jim Cramer's free Booyah! newsletter, with all of his latest articles and videos, please click here. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich.

Pro – Overall
1, Brent Prenzlow (Celo-Pacific/Focus Bicycles)
2, John Bailey (Bailey Bikes)
3, Chris Johnson (Shoebacca)
The battle of the day
belonged to Bryan Taylor of "Zumwalt Bicycles" and Guy the flying Dentist
Sutton racing for "Cal Coast Bicycles". Guy had this to share:
A who's who 40 local endurance racing and Strava KOMers lined up
at the start in Balboa Park's Morley Field to contest 3 1/2 hrs of racing on a
mix of fire road and single track. Rain the previous night left the
trails tacky but free of standing water. After 3 blistering laps a large
lead group was whittled down to 6 riders - Bryan Taylor (Julian Death
March champion, Never Forget 100 champion, marathon series winner), Stephane
Roch (ShoAir), Guy Sutton (26" wheel dinosaur), David Sullivan (ShoAir50+
), Gabriel Marocco (CalState San Marcos) and Pasqual Bonaventure (cat 1 roadie
from Belgium).
David Sullivan and attacking Brian Taylor did most of the work
pulling on the flat sections while Guy Sutton would lead out on the technical
Florida Canyon area. After two hours of racing with lap times faster than
the 90 mins race XC experts Taylor, Bonaventure and Sutton would break off from
the others. Riding became much more difficult as the beginner class just
entered the arena and the trails became exceedingly congested between lapping
riders, dogs and joggers.
Spectators cheered the riders on in what was believed to be the
final lap when a sprinting Sutton and Taylor arrived at 3hrs 29mins 30 secs.
Taylor who had jettisoned his bottle 4 miles ago (just like you see on TV
to save a few grams) kept on going and Sutton who went through the finish had
to get back on course and chase. Both rider's engines were seizing up but
Sutton had electrolytes and was able to keep some semblance of pace, covering
50+ miles and to take 1st. Bonaventure wisely decided not to go on for
the 12th lap for a 3rd overall and first place in his "open men"
Guy Sutton
CalCoast - 12 laps
Bryan Taylor
Zumwalts – 12 laps
3. David Sullivan ShoAir – 11 laps
The race was closed with cool
awards and raffles for Otus head/Helmet phones, ESIM grips and much more!
See you next Year!

When I saw this online, it appeared to be fluffier than when it came. The fabric is 100% cotton and lives up to it's description. I wish it just had more bounce to it. I think it's a bit expensive for the set but I liked the design. It says you shouldn't wash or dry in laundry machine but we washed it at home and let it hang dry. It's perfect for summer days.
This comforter is absolutely stunning! I wanted something feminine and airy to go with my new bedroom of blush pinks. This comforter really makes the room! I paired this with blush sheets and it looks great! I couldn't be happier. It's very cozy and looks sophisticated at the same time. Thanks Overstock...looks a lot like bedding from another store that's way over priced! :)
This bedding is so beautiful I did have to throw it in the steam dryer. And steam the flowers a bit but all worth the effort. Its just so fresh and light but keeps you warm on those winter nights.

Roots of Empathy's mission is to build caring, peaceful, and civil societies through the development of empathy in children and adults.
Roots of Empathy is an evidence-based classroom program that has shown significant effect in reducing levels of aggression among school children while raising social/emotional competence and increasing empathy.
Roots of Empathy
Changing the World, Child by Child
Canada - Buy at Amazon or Indigo
2 June 2014: The front page of the Washington Post was all about babies today, featuring education writer Emma Brown's story of D.C.'s first year offering Roots of Empathy. Launched in five private, public charter and public schools in the District, this is the first time a consortium of educational institutions has formed to bring the program to its students.
1 June 2014: Roots of Empathy is featured in the June issue of Contributoria. Published in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the issue focuses on the theme of "the world we want."
6 May 2014: "Empathy" is the new buzz-word as U.S. President Barack Obama observes a national empathy deficit, and Canada's Leader of the Official Opposition implies that empathy is a necessary trait for successful leadership. But, some are still asking, why does empathy matter?
14 April 2014: Tomorrow, Roots of Empathy Founder/President Mary Gordon will be speaking as part of the TURN Forward series at Ivey Business School's ING DIRECT Leadership Centre in Toronto.
10 April 2014: Mary Gordon is in Reykjavik, Iceland this week for the Second Spirit of Humanity Forum – "a new global network of organizations, communities and individuals committed to catalyze effective systemic change in governance and decision-making, based on core human values."

- Wife/Lover will Melt in your ArmsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014Great place to impress your date. Expect a steamy night of loving after visiting this place, but be prepared to shell out some clams. Food was great, as was the service. I was very surprised by the amount of children considering the sophistication of the menu, but I guess in a tourist area you have to expect that some people don't use their best judgement.Special Features:
- CathyVIPDined on 9/8/2014What a pleasure to dine here....spotlessly clean; beautifully clad wait staff in tuxedos who gave great service, lovely room and superb food. And guess what? You can actually carry on a conversation! The mix and match starters offering, among others, grilled local white asparagus, stuffed zucchini blossoms, goat cheese stuffed figs, various cheese and Italian cured meats - perfect portions all wonderfully prepared and delicious. Possible to share an appetizer portion of the pasta special (shrimp stuffed ravioli in lobster veloute.....divine) and then a veal chop and for me a rib eye. Both came with plenty of vegetables (another rarity these days) carefully cooked and beautifully presented. Worth every penny.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Unexpectedly GREAT!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/1/2014Our first visit to Portsmouth - We secured this reservation as a "default" after 3 other recommended restaurants were booked solid. All I can say is WOW - Lucky us!!! Everything about this place is excellent - food, service, wine selection, ambiance. Would 100% recommend - cannot imagine any of the other 3 restaurants we "missed out" on were better than Ristorante Massimo!! Five stars!Special Features:

- 45th Wedding AnniversarynicetocelebrateDined on 7/29/2014We chose this restaurant for our anniversary, knowing it would be a good experience. From the moment we arrived, we were treated very special with each staff member wishing us Happy Anniversary. It made our anniversary celebration really special. The atmosphere here is quiet and comfortable with wonderful service. The grey sole I had and the veal dish my husband had were both prepared perfectly. We have dined here before and will continue to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Touch of ClassRobertBDined on 7/29/2014Ristorante Massimo didn't disappoint. The restaurant is located in a quietly elegant brick cellar dining room that is is both comfortable and intimate and is a step or two ahead of most of the offerings in trendy Portsmouth NH. The house-made tagliatelle carbonara and pappardelle della nonna pasta plates were served al dente in attractive, lid-covered white ceramic deep dishes; and both were hot, fresh and delicious. Our entries - vitello alls griglia (grilled veal chop) and gamberetti fritti (gulf shrimp served over ratatouille) were moderately priced and were also excellent and are highly recommended. R. Massimo's wine list is not extensive, but is well represented by well-priced, mid-level, high quality Italian and US wines.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FCJReviewDined on 7/28/2014great service. would return to try again, but highly recommend the beef tenderloin. The reduction sauce was the finishing touchSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always TerrificredwineVIPDined on 7/26/2014Ristorante Massimo always pleases. The service is impeccable, and Massimo can be seen going from table to table, checking that everyone is happy with their meals. The food is interesting and well prepared with many small plate offerings. As always, it was well worth the drive from Boston.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 7/25/2014Wonderful restaurant and perfect for a special dining night. Somewhat pricey but the food and service lived up to the expense. They even took the time to stuff our martins olives with blue cheese.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A special nightFoodDude16Dined on 7/19/2014My wife and I enjoyed a relaxing and pampered evening. The waitstaff is trained and attentive. The food is artistic and good tasting. The atmosphere cozy and romantic. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Ordering is a bit challenging and you need to really read through how each item is prepared to make sure you are not making a mistake getting something you will not appreciate. There are taste melds that occur and these may not be attractive to individual palates. Overall a nice dining experience.Special Features:
- Outstanding!buster007Dined on 7/19/2014This was our 2nd time there and it did not disappoint. Ambiance is exceptional: service was outstanding. The waiter knew every food and how it was made. He is a genius with wine. An overall 5 star rating and a great place especially for a romantic night out! Its a little pricy but worth it.Special Features:
- Great ExperienceNH603Dined on 7/12/2014My girlfriend and I had wonderful dinner at Massimo. Our waiter Maurice was both knowledgeable and pleasant. The ambiance was very warm and classic Italian. We had the scallop dish as our first course and then ordered both the carbonara and gnocconi with beef to split. For desert we tried the s'mores dish that was very interesting. We would highly recommend the scallops and the gnocconi as those dishes were absolute top notch. Overall every aspect of the experience was great and we will be going back to Massimo.Special Features:
- MarleneDined on 7/11/2014My husband and I ate at Massimo's about 4 years ago. The food was outstanding and so was the service. We had a chance to go back to Portsmouth so we decided Massimo's was a good choice for dinner. Unfortunately, the waiter got our dinner mixed up with the table next to us. When dinner was served, the gentlemen got my husbands dinner and the lady got what she ordered. I was served an entirely different dinner and waited, in my opinion, too long for the correct dinner to arrive. My husband ate as slow as possible so he wouldn't finish before I received my dinner. I think this was an isolated incident and I am not judging the restaurant on this one hicup. I got a free dessert which was delicious. We will go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- VERY good upscale Italian foodchuckmac07VIPDined on 7/10/2014it's in a basement so it's a bit dark/dreary, but more than makes up for the setting with attentive, stellar service and terrific food choices & execution. scallops, pasta & apps were all excellent. a very strong choice in Portsmouth & the best Italian on the Seacoast region.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ratings DisappointOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 7/10/2014My husband and I are from the San Francisco Bay Area. We enjoy a variety of food-if it well prepared. In the case of Massimo's, the ratings and the prices are very high. The food is ill prepared and very disappointing. I think the chef's creativity is lacking in skill of ingredients.
- Fresh & FlexibleOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/9/2014The food was very fresh. Also there were unique and lovely Italian wines to choose from. The menu list was short but the waitress (and chef) accommodated our table's (of 8 people) every request for individual preparations Definitely going backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional!joanneDined on 7/5/2014We have been enjoying Massimo's for years. It is one of our favorites. The food, service and ambience are the very best! The owner Massimo always personally stops by each table. Massimo's is an exceptional place.Special Features:

- FANTASTICDexterDined on 6/27/2014We had the seven course chef tasting menu. It was the best meal I ever had. We chose to do the wine pairing as well which was a great idea. Everything paired very well with each dish. We will return many time. Our server Candace was fantastic. Thank you Massimo for a very enjoyable evening you always make it special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/20/2014We had a wonderful dining experience on our return to celebrate birthdays. Our waiter, Ken, had excellent recommendations for the menu selections and wine. He was detailed and attentive. We were in the room at the back which is lovely but when you sit facing a wooden wall the experience would be better with a mirror to project the ambience of the room that is lost on the diner that gets to face the wall.Special Features:

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The Ohio Senate has begun considering a measure that would ban authorities from using cameras to determine whether drivers run red lights or violate speed limits.
The Senate started its hearings Tuesday. The House passed the measure in June.
It would allow the cameras only in 20-mph school zones if a law enforcement officer is on hand.
Some police and city officials say the cameras improve safety and traffic-monitoring efficiency. But camera opponents allege the devices are used to raise funds and say the bill could help end such abuse.
A case involving a southwest Ohio village has boosted the push for a statewide ban. After a speeding ticket blitz, a judge blocked Elmwood Place from using the cameras to catch speeders. The village has appealed.

New York Wants to Boost Food Manufacturing, but Will Communities get a Raw Deal?
by Administrator
Under the reign of New York City's billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) has issued millions of dollars in business development subsidies to beleaguered urban neighborhoods, meant to create new jobs and promote entrepreneurial spirit. Now the NYCEDC is teaming up with Wall Street to give loans to local food manufacturers, but activists who have examined the city's development track record smell something fishy.

Can urban beehives increase food production?
It has been estimated that somewhere between fifty and ninety percent of the colonies of bees in US beekeeping operations have collapsed from a phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). This disorder is characterized by the disappearance of bees from a colony, but a lack of dead bodies to explain where they went. Some scientists believe that the culprit is a virus known as the Israeli acute paralysis virus (Cox-Foster et al, 2007). CCD is causing the collapse of bee colonies all over the world, reducing pollination rates, and causing essential food sources to become more scarce and more expensive. Noah Wilson-Rich, a scientist who studies bee diseases, has suggested an easy solution to the problem: urban beekeeping. In his Ted Talk "Every City Needs Healthy Honey Bees", Wilson-Rich shares that bees are actually surviving better in urban environments than rural ones. He suggests that increasing the number of urban beehives, along with introducing green roofs and urban gardens, will allow food production to begin to increase (while also reducing the prices of many crops). In many cities in the United States it is illegal to have a beehive because people are allergic and/or afraid of bees, but in some countries urban beekeeping is thriving (Paris, France is a great example!).
Do you think it is possible for the United States to develop an urban beekeeping industry? Would it have enough of a positive outcome to outweigh the downsides of urban beehives?
Closing Statement from Carly Otis
After much conversation, I think it is safe to say that most people think that urban beehives will have a positive influence on honey bee populations and biological diversity in urban environments. However, many people pointed out that this will not solve the issue of colony collapse disorder that is facing bees. Much more research needs to be done to determine what the true culprit of this phenomenon is (possibilities are neonicotinoid pesticides, varroa mites, Israeli acute paralysis virus, etc), but in the meanwhile urban beehives can help to maintain populations. It was mentioned a few times throughout the conversation that many people will be opposed to the introduction of urban beehives due to the rather large portion of our society that is afraid of and/or allergic to bees. To get around this, many people suggested that schools implement some sort of program to teach the public that honey bees are actually nothing to be afraid of, and that they will only harm you if you harm them. In addition, keeping beehives in places that are out of public view will help to alleviate some issues relating to neighborly disputes and accidental stings. One good technique is to place hives on rooftops, which will force bees to fly at a higher elevation and reduce the amount of bee-human interactions. Another issue with urban beekeeping is that there are much fewer food resources for bees in urban environments than rural ones, so it was decided that an urban beekeeping industry will only be successful in places where urban gardens and/or green roofs are also successful. Overall, it sounds like urban beekeeping has a good chance in the U.S., as long as we begin to educate people about honey bees and how critical they are for food production.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 21 2013: It's a very interesting idea that I think still needs a lot of research as to which specific geographical regions are in need of this, what the bee population is in those regions, if CCD is occurring in those regions, and whether or not the public would be open to the idea of keeping urban bees, knowing that there are a lot of people deathly allergic to bee stings (public epipen stations?).
Not only are bees very important to food product for humans, they are also very important to the overall natural food chain. For example, taking a tour of an "urban farm" the other day there was an urban beehive. Ever so often, birds would fly in and have a buffet of bees. Not only would bees be control by their predators, such as birds, they are important to a healthy food chain that if the bee population is healthy, so is the bird, spider, and many organisms that rely on relatively stable bee population. So the overall impacts of CCD is a scary reality on many social, ecologically, and agricultural levels.
Heres another great TED talk on about a "Plea for bees" by Dennis Vanengelsdrop
May 22 2013: I actually didn't, I'm not sure if there is an actual geographic correlation with CCD. Mostly because there isn't much known about it at all. I think its occurring pretty randomly in terms of geography. It could be consequence due to geographical location, global warming, pesticides, etc who knows. But maybe there is some data that suggests its more common in some places than in other, yet I couldn't find anything that had information. Maybe if we established those regions, it'll make it easier to determine whats casing CCD.
May 22 2013: The only kind of geographic correlation that I found had to do with the introduction of varroa mites, which have all sorts of negative influences on honey bees. If I can find the paper that I read I'll give you the link, but from what I remember it sounded like the varroa mites originated from australia (I could be wrong about this though) and CCD has increased in areas where the bees used in beekeeping operations were shipped from australia. I don't personally think that varroa mites are the sole cause of CCD, but I think they significantly reduce the honey bees immune system, making them more susceptible to viruses, so it makes sense that CCD is increasing in areas where varroa mites have been introduced.
