Friends, I am leaving Central Piedmont Community College and WTVI to pursue a new opportunity with Novant Health. I'm so excited and inspired to be joining a fantastic team that is improving the experience for patients and "making healthcare remarkable" across the region.
I've been with CPCC in various career roles for nearly 15 years. It has been incredible! The college community has been a unique and supportive environment in which to learn and develop professionally. I've been blessed with meaningful work and passionate colleagues. I've grown from a student within the college to a leader and voice for the college and community. Amazing.
I just want to thank all of my CPCC colleagues for their friendship, support and patience over the years. I will continue to carry with me the community college vision of affordable life-changing education for everyone. Educators, you make an impact that is far reaching. I wish you all blessings and success to come.

Last month, a church softball league in Pennsylvania opted to exclude Mormon teams from participating. The reason: Mormons aren't Christian enough to be on the same field with the Lord's true best friends.
I won't belabor the story. You can find out more (including some really disturbing feedback) by doing a Web search for "Mormons and softball."

With all due disrespect, this behavior is exactly what's wrong with the world: the notion that we're all somehow so different that discrimination is the best way to handle it.
Note: I think it's moronic when Mormons do this, too. The Grove City Area Church Softball League story is just one of the most recent (and ridiculous) examples of Christ's mandate to "love one another" gone idiotically awry.
I have a question for the Jesus police and anyone else who can look through a keyhole with both eyes open. It's an important theological matter the Savior never addressed.
What if one of you gospel posse dimwits ends up with my liver? It's a Mormon liver. According to you, it can't really be a Christian liver, can it?
Another note: I wouldn't want my liver, either, but this has nothing to do with whether it's Bible certified. I've just done some things to it that I shouldn't have.
But you still should be worried. When I renewed my driver's license last month, I became an organ and tissue donor. As soon as I'm dead, my Mormon parts go on the market.
I'm betting that if you or a loved one desperately needs a kidney, you won't give a damn which softball team it comes from.
Organ donation is a great arbiter of what truly matters in life —specifically that we're all far more alike than we aren't, and maybe we should focus on that.
Hey, all things being equal, the corneas of a Jew will work just fine on a set of Muslim eyeballs. And the heart of a gay person will beat just fine in the chest of the most ardent Proposition 8 supporter.
You could put the lungs of a black man into a Klansman and nothing bad would happen except maybe when the doctor broke the news to the recipient. Hell, I would actually pay to watch that happen.
Still, you can't entirely ignore the theological ramifications of a "parts is parts" claim. So I did some checking.
The LDS church is just fine with its members, of which there are millions, registering as organ donors. It's a great way to help others. Hear that you Mormon-bashers? You better stay healthy.
I also called the Utah Donor Registry (www.yesutah.org) to see if there might be any religious problems in being an organ donor. I spoke with a very patient woman named Dixie Madsen.
Me: "When I crawl out of the grave on the morning of the 75th resurrection, will I still have my liver?"
Her: "I think so."
Me: "But what if you already gave it to an atheist?"
Her: "We don't discriminate like — who is this?"
I became a serious organ donor in that moment. Doctors — real Christians and otherwise — could give my parts to practically anyone, including people who think I'm in league with Satan.
I know what you're thinking: "Verily, Jesus Christ King never said anything about interdenominational organ transplants."Next Page >

TORONTO, June 19, 2014 /CNW/ - On Saturday, June 14, smart owners from the Greater Toronto Area gathered to welcome the world to Toronto and mark the onset of WorldPride 2014, which will be taking place in Toronto, Ontario, from June 20th to 29th.
This exclusive by invitation-only event was orchestrated by smart Canada, and was open to smart fortwo owners, as well as car2go members. Over 65 smart fortwo drivers rendezvoused at the Canadian National Exhibition grounds, where they were given pride-themed window flags and bumper stickers with which to adorn their vehicles. The vehicles then departed as a convoy and traveled north on the Don Valley Parkway to the Mercedes-Benz Canada Head Office in Midtown Toronto. The rally concluded with a barbecue lunch in celebration of the upcoming WorldPride festivities.
The smart rally for WorldPride is part of the many initiatives planned in conjunction with the brand's sponsorship of WorldPride 2014. Further details can be found at www.thesmartcityproject.ca/worldpride.
As an event that celebrates diversity, WorldPride is a natural partner for the smart brand, which has been at the forefront of change for decades by challenging the status quo in providing intelligent and forward-thinking urban mobility solutions.
About smart Canada

Produced in one of the most modern and environmentally friendly plants in the world in Hambach, France, the smart fortwo is a safe, comfortable and extremely versatile vehicle. Since the launch of the smart fortwo in Canada in the fall of 2004, smart Canada's nationwide network of 55 dealers across the country have sold more than 24,000 smart fortwo vehicles.

The Golden Living Center nursing home in Arabwas named among the best in the nation, according to a study done by U.S. News& World Report. The facility earned a five-star rating in categories suchas health inspections, nurse staffing, and other quality measures.
"It's clean; a nice staff,"said resident Danny Brandon. "You get wonderful people around you."
"We've worked hard everyday, and honestly, it doesn't matter if we get recognition or not – we're stillgoing to deliver the same quality of care," said Executive Director MarkTuggle.
"Our team works togetherlike a family. I think that's probably the most important aspect of why we getthis type of result," Tuggle said.
Only 30 percent of thenursing homes in the state earn a five-star rating.

This Sunday, Aug. 22: FREE vegan BBQ sandwiches at Pop's at 2800 24th St. (between Bryant and York Streets) from 3 to 5p.m. Let me repeat: FREE VEGAN BBQ SANDWICHES AT POP'S. Did I stutter? I'm sorry, this is the best news since I popped out of my mom's VJ. Be there and maybe this will become a regular thing and/or maybe the geniuses behind this will start a vegan BBQ cart and feed us all vegan BBQ sandwiches all the time until we die from consumption (of too many sandwiches). Oooh and beforehand, let's all go to St Francis Fountain and eat all the new vegan food until we puke OMG SUNDAY FUNDAY!!
PLEASE NOTE: That is not the actual sandwich pictured above (sorry! although the real deal sounds delightful! And there will be cornbread too!!), that photo ganked from Quarrygirl because girlfriend is the flyest photographer around. Read that post and let's all roadtrip to LA!!

What Are We Singing: Holy is the Lord
- Saturday, August 28, 2010
A year or so ago I was invited to speak to a small congregation of women in Maine. The event was held at a Christian camp and retreat center near the Canadian border called moose river outpost. I flew in, leaving Orlando early in the morning and arriving - as time and flights would have it - in the earliest part of the afternoon. I thought I'd arrived, but we still had quite a drive to make.
As we continued north by car, I became aware of two things: 1) with increasing darkness crept an elevation in the chill factor, and 2) the car was required to stop for moose crossings.
We don't have moose in Florida. That I know of…
We arrived at the conference center then took a narrow and winding road upward, between the tall aspens whose near-naked branches clung to the last of their leaves, and the thick evergreen shrubs and trees. The sky overhead was deep blue, the moon as brilliant as I've ever witnessed. Its light cast long shadows that danced across green patches of grass scattered with a carpet of fiery gold and red leaves. The car took a bend in the road in front of a lake and stopped in front of my temporary home - a log cabin facing east, the living quarters which were on the second floor. In front stood a man I was soon to know as Marcus, the camp director. He took me upstairs, showed me how to light a fire in the fireplace (I'd need it) and gave me a quick layout of the cabin and the grounds.
I woke early the next morning, made a pot of coffee, wrapped myself in a thick blanket and headed out to the front porch where a red rocking chair called my name. With my camera resting in my lap… I waited.
Within minutes the sun peeked over the hills along the border. It broke through dark clouds and laid a golden beam across the still gray of the lake. With enough light to guide me, I bounded down the stairs and ran over to its edge where the water lapped gently against the dock and a forgotten canoe. I turned to the north. A mountain's reflection was cast in the water, forming a picture such that I could not tell which was real and which was the mirror image. I breathed in the crisp cold country air… and thanked God for his fingerprint.
In my way of thinking, the whole earth was full of his glory. A painting on his canvas. Brush strokes of radiance and majesty displayed with a sense that I was the only one in the world lucky enough to see them.
Maybe Not
We've all had those moments, I'm sure. Those gifts of magnificent glimpses at God's handwork, his display of grandeur, and his exhibition of brilliance. "Who but you, O Lord," our hearts cry out, "could have created such as this?"
And, as if to remind us that should we become silent concerning the joy of the Lord, his nature will take over.
Later that day I asked Marcus, "Do you ever grow tired of this vista?"
He replied, "Never. And I don't grow accustomed to it, either."
Surely not. For to do so, I think, would be to take it all for granted. If there is one thing we should never, ever do, it is to take for granted the glory of God.
And If There Is No Such Vista?
Not everyone has such a view as this. I went to New York City once, opened my hotel room window and gasped. Not a foot away was the brick wall of another skyscraper. During my stay, I met folks who lived in the hotel. Even though one of the most exciting man-made cities in the world was at their doorstep, their "world view" was of brick and asphalt.
In such cases, where does the joy come from?
Inside. It comes when we stand fully in his presence, from lifting hands in worship, and in bowing in the heart-stopping holiness of his company.
Scripturally Speaking
There are two verses that come to mind that speak of the earth being filled with God's glory. They are found in Psalms 72:1 and in Isaiah 6:1. In Psalm 72, David writes poetically of the hills and mountains, the sun and moon, rain falling on a mown field, grain swaying and fruit flourishing. He concludes his song of praise with these words: May his name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun. All nations will be blessed through him, and they will call him blessed. Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. Praise be to his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen (vss. Psalms 72:17).

Don Markus' Cole Field House memories
Having been around the Maryland basketball program for most of the past 28 years, I have my own memories of Cole Field House. They are both personal and professional, and run the gamut of emotions from funny to very poignant. Starting with Lefty Driesell's last season in 1985-86 -- Len Bias' senior year -- I have seen a lot of great games and great players.
Here are some of the highlights:
Here are some of the highlights:
Image 1 of 5
Best player( File photo / March 29, 2001 )
While there were a few great college players to grace the court at Cole between 1985 and 2002, the top of the list is occupied by four.
But as dynamic as Juan Dixon was during his last three years in College Park, as great as Joe Smith was in his two season,s and as exciting as Steve Francis was in his one year, Bias is clearly as the top.
Covering Bias as a reporter was nearly as difficult as covering him as a player -- he often hid out in a tiny bathroom in the locker room to avoid reporters, saying he wanted his teammates to get attention. But as a player, the only one who was as breathtaking for me to watch up close at the time was Michael Jordan. I often said -- and wrote -- that Bias would have been Jordan's rival had he not died tragically.

The body's cells need two energy requirements to function. The blood stream delivers both oxygen and glucose to the front door of the cell. The the oxygen is invited in, but the glucose needs a key to open the door. The insulin molecule is that key. When we eat, the body senses the levels of glucose in the blood stream and secretes just the right amount of insulin from the pancreas so that cells and the body can function.
People with diabetes don't have the luxury of that auto-sensing. They need to balance the amount of glucose intake with the amount of insulin that needs to be injected. Not enough insulin and the glucose levels in the blood stream start to rise; too much insulin, and they plummet.
The consequences of hypoglycemia (hypo=low, glycemia=glucose in the blood) are easy to understand. No energy source, no function - and the first organ to go is the brain. It needs glucose to function and without it, the brain shuts down quickly. Confusion, lethargy, and coma occur quickly. It's interesting that brain cells don't need insulin to open their doors to glucose, so when people develop coma from low blood sugar, they waken almost instantaneously upon treatment. Blood sugar is one of the first things checked on scene of a comatose patient, because it's so easy to fix and very embarrassing for an EMT to miss.
And sometimes, too much - is too much. High blood glucose levels, or hyperglycemia, cause a cascade of effects that are damaging to the body in the short and long-term. In the long-term, abnormally high blood sugar causes damage to blood vessels leading to a variety of potential catastrophes; including but not limited to any system that has a blood supply, potentially leading to heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, blindness, and amputations. Add the increased risk of infection associated with hyperglycemia and there is great incentive to keep blood sugars tightly under control.
A rise in glucose because of the lack of insulin has short term consequences as well. Cells can't get at the sugar floating in the blood stream, so they turn to alternative fuel sources to function, but the waste products of this form of metabolism, ketones, make the body more acidic. At the same time, the kidneys sense too much glucose and start spilling it into the urine. Water follows and dehydration quickly occurs. The body tells itself it needs more water, but the kidneys rid the body of the water faster. The downward spiral begins. The body becomes more acidic and dehydrated, electrolytes become imbalanced, and a medical emergency is eminent.
People with diabetes live in a very narrow range of normal. Tight blood sugar control is achieved by taking multiple daily glucose tests and using insulin more frequently during the day, which mimics normal body function allows those with diabetes to live "normal" lives.

Slow cooking at a low temperature is the secret for oh-so-tender ribs. This recipe is from Shari Meininger, whose story can be found in our Grilling 2010 catalog.
Combine all of the Rib Rub ingredients and mix well.
Early in the day, remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Rinse and pat dry. Rub the Rib Rub generously into the ribs, about 3 tsp. per rack. Place on a jellyroll pan, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for approximately 4 hours.
Grill or broil the ribs on both sides--a little black will not hurt! Preheat oven to 250°. While the ribs are browning, for each rack of ribs, tear off 2 sheets of heavy duty, wide aluminum foil--12 inches longer than the rack of ribs. Place one rack of ribs on top of two sheets of the foil. Bring together the sides of the foil and seal tightly. Seal one end. Pour 1 can of beer into each packet and close tightly. Do this with each rack of ribs. Place the packets on a jellyroll pan. Bake at 250° in the oven or grill over low heat for 46 hours depending on the doneness you prefer (we found after 5 hours the ribs were indeed falling apart tender). Open each packet carefully! Discard the liquid in the foil packets. Serve with your favorite sauce.
Prep. time: 10 minutes plus 4 hours marinating time
Cooking time: 46 hours plus 20 minutes or so of browning time
Serves: 6-9

Scarlet Witch
Raised to be a Super Villain, Wanda has no respect for authority. But cut her some slack: Magneto's her dad, and Quicksilver is her twin brother. She's sassy, strong-willed, and likes to bite off more than she can chew, relying on hexes to keep her safe. While she doesn't really have her powers totally under control, they usually work even better than she planned.

About 50 area businesses head to the Carl Junction Community Center for 2nd annual business expo.
This was the first year for a movie scavenger hunt. There were also several thousand dollars worth of giveaways, including gift baskets.
Proceeds from the expo help fund future things like the enhancement of projects around town or even sending children to state competitions.
"These expo's are really a good opportunity for the businesses to show off what they have an encourage people, it gives them a face with a name and we always encourage people to shop locally and shop with chamber members because those are people that support your community" says Chamber of Commerce President Gary Stubblefield.

Don't-Miss iPhone Stories
Tru Protection's Heather Brown Collection of iPhone 4/4S cases focuses on Hawaiian art, not protection
The Heather Brown collection features three colorful case designs by artist Heather Brown, but apart from style and slimness, they don't offer much else.
Incase's Pro Slider Case is protective, but ordinary
Incase's Pro Slider case has an easy-to-remove bottom portion that provides ample room for your iPhone 4/4S to fit in any dock-cradle accessory.
KEE's Slider may have some great color combinations, but has major design flaws
The KEE Slider has two interchangeable pieces that snap together, but it scratches easily and covers your iPhone's dock-connector port.
The Incipio Stowaway: Another disappointing wallet iPhone case
The Incipio Stowaway's extra compartment makes a poor wallet, but a great kickstand.
The Cygnett Apollo is a basic hard-shell case with an emphasis on protection
The Apollo is a hard-shell case made from two materials: a scratch-and-fingerprint-resistant hard surface and a grooved, shock-absorbent interior.
The Camalen Hexa is a good-looking leather kickstand case
While the Camalen Hexa is a handsome addition to your iPhone 4/4S, its kickstand design makes it a little awkward to use.
Sena's Creativo iPhone pouch has a handy cutout for answering calls
This unusual leather pouch won't be for everyone, but if you're looking for a slim, attractive sleeve that lets you quickly answer a call without removing the case, then check out this offering from Sena.
The Incipio Le Deux is a sleek, slender case for your iPhone 4/4S
The Incipio Le Deux uses two pieces to protect your iPhone 4/4S: a polycarbonate bumper frame and a brushed stainless steel back.
Speck's CandyShell Grip has finger pads to aid in gaming on your iPhone 4/4S
Speck's CandyShell Grip Case for the iPhone 4/4S targets heavy gamers and texters with its grippy finger pads and bezel thumb bumps, designed for extra control.
The Opena Case turns your iPhone 4/4S into a bottle opener
The Opena Case is more than just a gimmick—it is a fully functional and carefully designed protective case for your iPhone that also happens to be a bottle opener, too.
The MonCarbone HoverCoat wraps your iPhone 4/4S in sleek carbon fiber
MonCarbone's $50 HoverCoat for the iPhone 4/4S is a minimalist, lightweight hard-shell case expertly hand-crafted from carbon fiber.
Ballistic Universal Sport Rugged Pouch a protective holster-case for iPhone 4/4S
If your iPhone is already fitted with a hard-shell case or a skin, the Universal Sport Pouch holster case can fit them both.
Epson MegaPlex MG-850HD projector sports iPhone dock
The Epson MegaPlex MG-850HD is a portable projector with two built-in ten-watt speakers, bright 2800 lumen output, and a dock for connecting and playing movies and music from your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.

The notion that a company that sells medication and products to help aid your well-being and health also sells cigarettes, on the surface of it, would baffle some.
But for many years, CVS has sold cigarettes and tobacco products in the same stores that sell nicotine patches and gum, as well as medication designed to prolong life and alleviate physical suffering.
So with the news that as of October 1st, they will no longer sell these products is seen as a move in the right direction for those who aren't advocates of smoking. Praise has even come from the highest office in America – The White House. President Obama said, "As one of the largest retailers and pharmacies in America, CVS Caremark sets a powerful example, and today's decision will help advance my administration's efforts to reduce tobacco-related deaths, cancer, and heart disease, as well as bring down health care costs - ultimately saving lives and protecting untold numbers of families from pain and heartbreak for years to come."
CVS Caremark's decision to stop selling tobacco products is consistent with the positions taken by the American Medical Association, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, American Lung Association and American Pharmacists Association that have all publicly opposed tobacco sales in retail outlets with pharmacies.
And while the move is certainly a bold and morally correct one, it appears that it's also one that won't affect the financial side of things.
The decision to stop selling tobacco products does not affect the company's 2014 segment operating profit guidance, 2014 EPS guidance, or the company's five-year financial projections provided at its December 18th Analyst Day. CVS estimates that it will lose approximately $2 billion in revenue on an annual basis from those that buy cigarettes, tobacco and related items, equating to approximately 17 cents per share. Given the anticipated timing for implementation of this change, the impact to 2014 earnings per share is expected to be in the range of around 6 to 9 cents per share. The company has identified incremental opportunities that are expected to offset the profitability impact. This decision more closely aligns the company with its patients, clients and health care providers to improve health outcomes while controlling costs and positions the company for continued growth.
In addition to this, CVS has announced that they will run a national smoking-cessation program in the spring. The program will include information and treatment on smoking cessation at CVS/pharmacy and Minute Clinic locations in addition to online resources.
It is understood that 7 out of every 10 Americans who smoke say they want to quit and around half attempt it each year. The sad fact is, nicotine is one of the most highly addictive drugs on the planet. Without having ever experienced nicotine dependency, as with most, if not all drugs, quitting is a hard fight and not one that should be dismissed nonchalantly.
Spartan Race Founder, Joe Desena, was quick to comment on the decision that CVS took, taking it one step further.
"I will probably start a shit storm here but if Andy and I were to run a school, a town, a city, or the country it is really simple to describe what we would do:
-Lights out by 10 pm – nothing good happens to anyone late at night.
-Cigarettes would be banned.
-Soda would be banned.
-Junk Food would be banned.
-We would have a giant bell that rang at 5 AM waking everyone up and 100 burpees every morning would be mandatory before you could eat breakfast or start your car.
-Insurance would cost less for healthy people, taxes would be lower."
Hardline, it would seem.
The message is getting clearer through Americans and the rest of the world. Adopting a healthier way of life is way more than a "fad." It's a way of life that Spartan Race encourages at every opportunity.
Sign up for a race and you'll truly understand when we tell you that you'll know at the finish line.

Everything you've done in vanilla and BC will be carried over to the achievements and unlocked when you first sign in right?
That's one of the things that most disappoints me here. :( Unless Blizz has been keeping ridiculous amounts of data on all this "just in case," (and let's face it, that seems very unlikely) I'll always wish I'd had this statistical info tracked going back to when I first created my toons who are already to 70. Knowing "How many times have I jumped since WotLK?" just doesn't have the same impact as "How many times have I jumped in my entire life?"
LOL ... the only thing more hilarious would be a ranking based on how many times you jumped ...
I'ld never have believed "How many times have I jumped in my entire life?" does impact ANYONES life. But I guess I was wrong, all those nervous bunnies actually have a purpose to what they are doing ... then again there are also tools to track your mouse clicks and key strokes ... damn, my life is pretty meaningless compared to that ...

Still my Dress I bought this dress almost two years ago. Yes that is how long I have been planning this wedding. I was silly to buy the dress when I did, but I fell in love with it. Two size changes and few alterations later, after seeing all the dresses that have come out, I am so happy with my decision. It is perfect for my beach wedding. It makes my waste look very small and flairs out (I have the piece underneath to make it puffier) It is really comfortable and I just love my dress and cannot wait to wear it in a month. And I can't wait for my fiance's reaction. May 9, 2013
pleasantly surprised! I was not looking for a strapless dress to begin with, but this dress changed it all! It gave me a waist and classic silhouette along with great chest support. I would suggest foundation wear to smooth the tummy area if you need it but the style is very forgiving in that aspect. The fabric is light and flowing, a major plus for me beach wedding. Give it a try! You might be pleasantly surprised as well :-) April 3, 2013
My Dream Dress The picture shown does not do the dress justice. It is absolutely amazing. The beading and detail on the dress just made it so beautiful. March 8, 2013
LOVE!!!!! My husband and I are having our "real" wedding at a vineyard in the country. I told the consultant that I wanted a simple, elegant, and romantic dress. I tried a few other dresses on first and I felt terrible in them. Being a size 16, I felt like I would never find a dress that flattered my figure. But I was wrong! This dress gave me an awesome shape and I immediately fell in love with this dress! When I walked out of the fitting room my grandma cried and I knew this was the one! I wold recommend this dress to women of all shapes and sizes, it does wonders for your figure, its light, comfortable, and simple but elegant! I cannot wait to wear it down the aisle next week!!!

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Over the years, thousands of patients have received innovative services and quality care at Community Hospital East's Hook Rehabilitation Center. With the opening of the free-standing Community Rehabilitation Hospital, patient services and care are poised to reach an even higher level.
"When you take a rehabilitation unit out of an acute care hospital and create a new hospital dedicated solely to rehabilitation, staff can focus with a higher level of intensity," said Doug Beebe, CEO, Community Rehabilitation Hospital. "This new model will drive the best outcomes for our patients."
The hospital provides intensive rehabilitation services for patients with the most complex neurological conditions—brain injuries, stroke, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, Parkinson's and other neuromuscular diseases.
A core group of four physicians, dedicated to Community Rehabilitation Hospital, manage patient care, and hospitalists assist with weekend and evening coverage. A physician is always onsite 24/7.
Ten nurses are CRRNs (Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurses) and multiple staff members have CBIS (Certified Brain Injury Specialist) certification. Additional staff include pharmacists, physical, occupational, recreational and speech and language therapists.
"We use a team approach to rehabilitation care," said Allison Williams, M.D., medical director, Community Rehabilitation Hospital. "Our multidisciplinary team is focused on nothing but rehabilitation and improving our patient outcomes."
Community Rehabilitation Hospital offers the following services:
Our hospital and services were designed to give patients the best possible care so they can become self-sufficient, return home and actively participate in their communities.

Bicycling: When did you start preparing specifically for this year's Tour de France?
George Hincapie: It started with a five-week break between the Classics and Tour of California. I was at home in Greenville doing four- to five-day blocks with time-trial training and mountain training [33]. It was a lot of intervals. Then after California and Nationals, the final month before the Tour is maintenance and racing a lot. It's not that structured.
How is that different from your Classics prep?
Now I'm doing longer efforts, 10 to 20 minutes on climbs and on TT bikes, as opposed to one-minute power intervals [34]. I've got to hold my threshold longer. Doing more stage races now also helps me adapt for the Tour.
Can you explain why you'd use a race as training?
The real hard finishes, sprints and uphill finishes, are hard to mimic in training. I do tons of motorpacing to match the speed, but in a race, you're not only going fast and putting out a lot of power, you also have so many factors going on: Where the wind's coming from [35], which way you're turning up the road, where to position yourself. These all require thought process and energy, and you need this mental focus for the end of long races.
What's your off-season training like?
A lot of mountain biking, core training, and tennis. I stop my season in the middle of September and try to take three weeks totally off the bike, but that never happens. I end up doing events or promotional rides with my bike. I start structured road riding in early to mid-November with three- to five-hour rides. There aren't many intervals in November but in December I start doing more.
Do you do core work year round?
Yes, but less during the race season. I incorporate yoga stretches, planks, and back extensions, and I'll try to do 10 to 15 minutes, once or twice a week, as maintenance. But off-season, or in a training block between races, I'll do a 30- to 45-minute routine four or five days a week.
Do you have a favorite strength move?
No. I actually don't like doing core, but the planks, step-ups, back extensions are all very important for overall fitness on the bike. In long climbing races, you're in the mountains three to four hours and everything starts to hurt, your back, your neck. If you can limit that sort of pain you're able to theoretically put out more pain on the bicycle and be more focused.
How about a favorite bike workout then?
Honestly, my favorite workout is just going out and riding my bike for four hours and not doing intervals—just enjoying the climbs and scenery. But we rarely get to do that.
How often do you have hard efforts?
If I'm in a training block, a minimum of four days, usually five, per week. Just three days is an easy week.
How does tennis fit in?
I just like it, but I wouldn't recommend tennis for cyclists.
Do you do your own cooking?
No, my wife is actually a phenomenal chef. I'm lucky, she does 99.9 percent of the cooking. We eat wholesome foods, oatmeal, complex grains like quinoa or brown rice, food geared toward helping me recover. My favorite is ratatouille with brown rice.
Has your diet changed over the years?
Yes, when I first started I ate whatever. Now I feel like I can't get away with any junk food. The older I get, the more perfect I feel I need to get my diet.
You never reward yourself?
We have pastries in the race sometimes. I love dark chocolate, I love chips, but again I don't eat them that much. There's always dark chocolate in the house, I like to just have a little chunk once in a while.
What are your goals at the Tour de France?
Help Cadel win again. That's my goal and priority. If something comes along where I can win a stage or get a big result, I'll take it. But the main goal is to help Cadel win his second Tour.
What's it mean to support Cadel?
The first week is really hectic and a dangerous. It's windy with small roads, so we'll try to keep him out of trouble. That means finding a place in the peloton where he's not in the wind or worried about losing time. Our focus throughout the whole Tour is to keep him in a good position, and as rested as possible for the moments he has to attack.
Why do you ride on the Tour de France rest days?
It's a way of keeping your body awake. For most people, your body goes into shutdown mode: "OK, we've just been racing full gas for 10 days; now we're not riding so I guess I need to rest." So we go out and ride for two to three hours.
What keeps you motivated to get in Tour-worthy shape?
My motivation changes every year, depending on my team and whether I'm going for stage wins. I signed with this small team, BMC, and two years later we've won the biggest race in the world. I played a big part in it and I'd like to be part of it again. I know my time is about done. I might as well give it all I can while I still can.

I want to move to Maryland with Robbie Keane.
I want to move to Maryland with Robbie Keane.
I could've sworn I heard a Go Kings Go chant during tonight's match.
Hoping for that rematch of the 2011 final.
Text I got during the US/Russia game today:
"I'd trust a healthy Gonzalez, De La Garza, Franklin and Dunivant on the back line way more than these 4"
Oh and whoa Bradley!
Fredy Montero, the Joe Thornton of MLS. I hope Seattle keeps him as long as possible.
that was such an ugly game. They were lucky to get out alive.
Juninho better start the final, and I sure hope Donovan is back.
Beckham's final game with the Galaxy will be the Cup Final. Might well be Keane's and LD's, too. Whatever the case, I hope we win this one.

Inspirationale: Jesse Kamm Meets Her Muse
The first day of spring is just under a month away—time to refresh, reinvent…or, you know, maybe just re-paint the living room and buy some new sandals. Whatever your modus operandi, a little motivation never hurt, so we're asking some of our awesome designers to share what's inspiring them right now. First up: artist-cum-designer Jesse Kamm, who is a big fan of not trying too hard, as her line, choc-full of easy, effortless pieces, proves. —keely thomas-menter
"I met Debbie Harry backstage at a show. She is still insanely beautiful. She pumps me up. She is one of those women, who has "IT." It isn't contrived. A stylist did not make her that way—she just is. That is the thing that inspires me most about a person—an originality, an effortlessness. There are few true icons that I think I would go gaga over. But give "Rapture" a listen—you will be driven to love!" —jesse kamm

Santa Ema was established by Pedro Pavone, the son of Italian winemakers from Piedmont in Italy. Having arrived in the Maipo valley of Chile in 1917, Pedro was an engineer by trade and spent his early years grape growing for other wineries, having planted his first vineyards in 1931 and harvesting his first cabernet, Merlot and sauvignon Blanc grapes four years later. He then established the winery with his son Felix in 1955. Santa Ema produces Chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc in addition to a reserve range, Barrel Select line, and a Bordeaux-style red blend called "Catalina" which consistently earns praise for each vintage. Santa Ema was named one of the 20 "World's Finest value Brands" by Wine Spectator in 2005.
"The 2007 Merlot Reserve is a glass-coating opaque purple. The nose offers up coffee, mocha, and cherry leading to a wine with no hard edges and plenty of character. If all Merlots offered this much pleasure, Pinot Noir would never have become so popular.

Over the years, Santa Ema has been recognized by the most important national and international organizations and has earned numerous medals in competitions such as the Concours Mundial de Bruxelles and distinctions in the prestigious international trade magazines. It was recently added to Wine Spectator's list of Top 20 World's Finest Value Brands, Wine Advocate rated four Santa...Read More About Santa Ema
Long and thin, Chile has a lot of land north to south. The wine region here is a series of districts based near Santiago. The vineyards are protected by the Pacific on the west and the Andes mountains on the east. This could help explain why the climate changes more from east to west than north to south - also why the country has remained phylloxera free....Read More About Chile
No second fiddle
Merlot is coming back into its own. High popularity led to mass production, which then led to a backlash towards the variety (remember Miles in Sideways?). But passionate Merlot producers, and of course the right bank of Bordeaux, continued to produce quality versions of this grape. Merlot remains the principle grape of top chateaux in St...Read More About Merlot

How much of your information do you share? How much should corporations share? TED Books Q&A Friday at 3pm Eastern!
The way people connect and collaborate is undergoing an astonishing transformation. Smart organizations are shunning their old, secretive practices and embracing transparency. Companies are widely sharing intellectual property and releasing patents. And movements for freedom and justice are exploding everywhere.
In their new book, Radical Openness: Four Unexpected Principles for Success, authors Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams show how this revolutionary new philosophy is affecting every facet of our society, from the way we do business to whom we choose to govern us.

Closing Statement from Rachel Lehmann-Haupt
Thanks everyone for joining the conversation - and especially thanks to Don and Anthony for such thoughtful answers to our questions and thoughts.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Don Tapscott 50+Feb 8 2013: When it comes to each of us as individuals, Anthony and I think we all need a balance between the public and private. Just as the complete loner and hermit lifestyle is not optimal (we all need and benefit from human interaction and relationships) so being a completely public person undermines one essence of what it is to be human – to be private, reserved and discreet.
Develop and implement your own personal privacy strategy. When you share consider the benefits. But realize that withholding most information about you is in your interests: there are many "bad actors" who would misuse it. Privacy is important to the formation and maintenance of human relationships, reputation trust and even "the self" and its presentation in everyday life. Society lacks the laws and norms to protect you from companies being invasive or manipulative. And don't assume governments are benevolent: we may harmed in absentia by unknown public and private bureaucracies having access to our personal data -- perhaps the targets of injurious decisions and discrimination and we will never really know what or why.
By all means, be as open as you want but realize that with openness can come vulnerabilities, especially for your children. And as the expression goes "Discretion is the better part of valor" meaning that it makes sense to be careful in the face of unintended consequences and risks.

CEP: YPOV - Preparing for Chairing? Build Some Relationships!
Meagan Lewis
Programming for an AIChE conference — i.e., developing the technical program — takes a lot more than the work put in by the meeting chairs; the details and ideas that go into every session and its roster of speakers take a whole force of volunteers. As a co-chair for the upcoming 2014 Spring Meeting in New Orleans who also happens to be a young professional (YP), I've realized that the best way to prepare for programming a large-scale conference is to build relationships across all levels of the organization.

YAKIMA, Wash.-- Tenants at the Track 29 Mall
in downtown Yakima say the property's trustee has terminated their long-term
It's the latest in a string of changes at
the mall.
The previous owner of the property went
bankrupt, and the mall's trustee has filed to remove some train cars to make
room for a parking lot.
Many tenants are worried the entire mall
will be demolished, but they say they're not going anywhere.
"Our thought is that we're gonna
fight. We're just gearing up to fight, it's a brawl now, so we're gonna do
everything we can to save this place," said Track 29 Tenant Tony Sandoval.
The trustee has not returned our phone
calls but did send a letter to tenants saying that Track 29 is not currently
financially feasible.
However, several business owners tell us
there are also a number of buyers interested in the mall.

UNDATED (WSAU) With a week to go until the primary, State Supreme Court Justice Pat Roggensack still has a big financial edge over her two challengers. New reports filed yesterday show that Roggensack raised over $200,000 since the start of the year – and she had $219,000 in her war-chest as of February 4th. Marquette law professor Ed Fallone only had about a-third of that amount on hand, almost $64,000. And he raised $75,000 in the previous five weeks. Milwaukee lemon law attorney Vince Megna did not raise any money this year, and he has about $5,300 on hand.
Roggensack's money allowed her to run a campaign T-V ad – and the conservative Club for Growth has also run an ad on her behalf. Roggensack is part of the Supreme Court's four-member conservative majority, while Megna makes no bones about the fact that he's trying to tilt the state's highest court to the left. But the Democrats who've made endorsements are backing Fallone – including former U-S Senator Russ Feingold and former House Democrat David Obey. Megna told the A-P that he hates asking people for money, but he agrees it would be necessary once the primary's over. He has the smallest number of endorsements, mostly from consumer groups. Megna has put $10,000 of his own money into the race.

Kicking the Competition's SaaS
Marshall is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) appears to be presenting investors with quite the buying opportunity, being down over 11% over the past month. The reason? Oracle's fiscal fourth-quarter results came in below expectations, once again disappointing investors. But is the bad news overblown? Quite possibly.
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is all the rage these days. Adobe is making the move, transitioning its services to the cloud, and Oracle acquired a number of cloud companies in 2012, including RightNow for $1.5 billion and Taleo for $1.9 billion.
Oracle is in the process of moving more of its revenue reliance over to the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business. Its cloud platform allows enterprises to shift data applications between the public and private cloud. This includes its newsiest release, Oracle Database 12c. Oracle has already been offering Fusion SaaS applications for almost two years, but the 12c offering is targeting customers consolidating databases in their private cloud.
Oracle has partnered with NetSuite, which offers cloud based enterprise resource management services. NetSuite plans on integrating its services into Oracle's cloud-based human resource software. The integration should be a big positive that can help clients reduce sales cycles.
Gartner believes that global spending on enterprise IT spending will reach $3.8 trillion in 2013. In particular, the research firm expects revenues from SaaS expected to grow from $14.5 billion in 2012 to $22.1 billion in 2015.
So why is Oracle down so much over the past few weeks?
License revenue growth last quarter was up only 2% year-over-year, at the very low end of its 1% to 11% expectations. This comes after weakness was greater than expected in Brazil. But on the positive front, hardware systems revenue was down only 12%, compared to the guidance of down 12% to 22%.
Oracle expects that hardware could see positive revenue growth in fiscal 1Q 2014. Meanwhile, SaaS related revenues were up 50% year over year. I believe the sell-off is overdone and the stock's current trading range could be a solid buying opportunity.
Free cash flow for the quarter was an impressive $4.4 billion and cash on hand is at $32 billion. Meanwhile, debt was down over 6.5% to 18.5 billion. Oracle also took the opportunity to double its quarterly dividend to $0.12 per share, while authorizing an additional $12 billion in share buybacks.
SAP (NYSE: SAP) is one of Oracle's chief competitors and it also happens to be one of the largest independent software vendors in the world; generating over 80% of revenues from SaaS offerings.
SAP and Oracle are the leaders in the enterprise resource planning market.
Both market leaders are continuing to make big pushes in the SaaS and cloud markets, which should help them fend of rising competition form smaller competitors. Analysts expect SAP to grow license revenues by 9% in 2013 thanks to the increased adoption of enterprise software.
A couple of SAP's key drivers include the its in-memory database technology, HANA, which allows customers to run real-time database analysis. SAP also has plans to acquire Hybris, a Swiss-based enterprise commerce software company. This will help SAP further break into the the the Customer Relationship Management sector.
Big Blue cloud
IBM (NYSE: IBM), aka Big Blue, is an IT services, software, computer hardware and research super-firm. IBM's global tech services accounts for over 55% of revenues and includes IT infrastructure, consulting, outsourcing and management services. The software segment accounts for 25% of revenues and focuses on operating systems software.
Revenues are expected to be flat in 2013 and then see modest 2.5% growth in 2014. IBM hopes to drive margin growth with a renewed focus on higher-margin software and service revenue streams. Along those lines, IBM made a big splash earlier this year with its $2 billion acquisition of SoftLayer. The move will help IBM offer customers private cloud access, in addition to its public cloud.
The real beauty about IBM is its ability to return cash to shareholders. The tech giant has been levering up its balance sheet to buyback stock for over a decade; now its return on equity is upwards of 80%. The trend is expected to continue. Over the next five years, management expects to buy back shares worth $50 billion.
PC weakness
One of the key tailwinds forcing a number of companies over to the SaaS market is weakness in PC sales. Microsoft gets some 50% of revenues from the PC industry. With an ever-slowing PC market demand, this can be a troublesome stat. As part of Microsoft's strategy, the tech company is looking to mobile and tablets.
Microsoft did enter a partnership with Oracle to make certain products inter-operable. The two companies will work together to solve technical issues, which should give Microsoft some exposure to customers focusing on the move to the cloud. Oracle has a similar deal with salesforce.com.
Intel is seeking some of the biggest pressure related to weakness in the PC market. Intel dominates the microprocessor market, shipping over 80% of microprocessors globally.
Revenue is expected to be flat in 2013, after a slight decline in 2012. Intel is under similar pressure as Microsoft, where the shift to mobile and tablets is putting serious pressure on the company's top line. However, Intel is turning to data center growth, which is a play on tech companies move to the cloud.
Hedgie trade
Going into the second quarter, there were a total of 49 hedge funds long IBM. Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway has the largest position among major investment funds, worth over $14 billion and making up 17% of Berkshire's 13F portfolio (check out Buffett's high upside picks).
Meanwhile, Oracle had 69 hedge funds owning the stock, where Eagle Capital Management had the largest position, worth $967 million and making up 5.8% of its 13F portfolio (see Eagle's top stock picks).
At the end of 1Q, Microsoft had some of the most hedge fund interest in the tech space, with 89 hedge funds long the stock. This includes Donald Yacktman's Yacktman Asset Management, with the largest position among hedge funds, worth $1.1 billion and comprising 6% of its 13F portfolio (check out Yacktman's newest picks).
The bottom line
With the exception of IBM and its ridiculous 80+% return on equity, Oracle is outshining its major peers on an ROE basis.
Although Oracle's push to the cloud was a bit delayed, the company appears to be catching on quickly. I think SaaS will be a big contributor to earnings growth going forward, and I expect Oracle to continue throwing off cash to its shareholders.
