Publication: The Day
Mystic - A team of archaeologists and soil scientists gathered at the Nature and Heritage Center at Coogan Farm Wednesday to use ground penetrating radar to find signs of what is thought to be the home of the first European settler in Mystic.
The group, which included recently retired state archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni, his successor Brian Jones, and U.S. Department of Agriculture soil scientist Debbie Surabian, rolled the unit in a grid pattern at several locations on the property as they searched for potential areas to dig for artifacts, foundation and other evidence.
Surabian explained that the radar penetrates 2½ feet into the ground and that different materials conduct radar in specific ways, allowing the scientists to identify those materials. This gives the researchers clues about what locations to further explore.
The search comes as the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center gets ready to celebrate the grand opening of the center from Sept. 4 to Sept. 6.
As the group conducted its search Wednesday morning, Coogan Farm archaeologist and University of Connecticut at Avery Point instructor Sarah Holmes said the circa 1650 home belonged to Capt. John Gallup, who was given about 500 acres of land for his role in the Pequot War. He died in 1675 in the Great Swamp Fight in Narragansett. He is buried in Wickford, R.I., though there is a memorial to him at the Whitehall Graveyard off Route 27.
Gallup was born in 1620 or 1621 in England and came here with his family in 1633. He later represented the town of Stonington in the General Court and was an Indian interpreter.
While Gallup did not have a will that mentioned the home, Holmes said probate records for his son indicate it had a substantial basement and faced south.
"We know he lived here," said Holmes.
Over the past few centuries, Holmes said a number of prominent families such as the Greenmans, Cottrells and Miners have owned the property, resulting in layers of material and artifacts.
She said the researchers also look at the topography of the site to see where a home would likely be located. She added homes were also built into the sides of hills or near wells.
After the team searched a rectangular area inside an existing stone foundation Wednesday morning, they huddled around Surabian as she explained the multicolored mapping on the radar screen. They then discussed which areas needed further examination.
Holmes said the team is expected to come back another day to continue its investigation.

Israel and Academic Distinctions
Ari Kohen responded to my request to address the substantial difference in our opinion with a very thorough and convincing argument that what Israel is doing does not fulfill the technical definition of 'genocide'. This is somewhat disappointing, because that distinction is at best tertiarily related to our disagreement. Let's return to our original dispute, found here, about false equivalencies. In essence, Kohen argues,
When you write that the number of casualties is uneven, you're either saying, "The Israeli military has better weapons technology than Hamas," which is so obvious as to be perfectly uninteresting … or else you're saying, "I wish Hamas was better able to kill Israelis so this conflict would be more 'fair,'" which is to actively wish for more civilian deaths.
To which I responded (along with an accusation of Israeli genocide), that the discrepancy is not some background issue but rather indicative of the source of the conflict: military imposed segregation on an ethnic basis, coupled with continually expanding displacement by the IDF and other Israeli forces of Palestinian civilians. The pretense that pointing out the effects of this cause, that is to say the high volume of Palestinian civilian deaths vs. the low number of Israeli casualties from Palestinians who are fighting back, is somehow a plea for more bloodshed is extremely myopic. With this assumption, Kohen reduces culpability for the conflict into abstract, academic moral evaluations. The process he poses as the 'correct' line of thinking is, "There must be a way for these groups of people to stop murdering each other", while either refusing to acknowledge (or not realizing) that the disparity in deaths is itself a perpetuating force in the conflict. Ari's later statement that, "it's possible for the Israeli government to be acting immorally and it's possible for Hamas to also be acting immorally" is entirely irrelevent to the question of how to end the conflict, the answer to which is chiefly concerned with the cause of the conflict. The idea that 'immoral' actions, rather than aggressive Israeli imperialism, is somehow the driving force behind the violence is completely unsupported by any factual information that I have been made aware of.
Kohen has called the idea that we should focus on the driving forces of the conflict rather than a sort of moral tit-for-tat, the "Logic of Perpetual Conflict":
"Because the Israeli state oppresses Palestinians, dispossesses many of them of their land, and abuses their human rights, Palestinians have ample cause to murder Israeli Jews — and sometimes non-Israeli Jews — wherever they happen to find them…The practitioner of this sort of logic responds to harm with more harm, arguing that there's always a good reason behind the harm that one does."
The problem with this analysis is it's presumption that arriving at an explanation for the heinous acts some Arabs commit while fighting Israeli imperialism is the same as apologizing for it or excusing it. This is the same notion used by the right to brand anyone daring to bring up US intervention when discussing the events of 9/11, and is entirely invalid (not to mention somewhat surprising given his previous posts on the origin of terrorism). It's not excusing or advocating for the morality of rocket attacks to acknowledge that resistance against Israeli annexation and occupation of land previously inhabited by Palestinians is an inevitable result of the annexation and occupation itself!
Kohen's views his (accurate) distinction of Genocide as relevant because his world is primarily one of letters: in Academics, a semantic distinction between Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing is germane because Academicians are concerned with nuance and objective, abstract analysis. It is decidedly less important for those whose goal is not scholastic achievement, but rather communicating both the extremity and the source of the inhumane treatment of Palestinians. Academic distinctions with regard to Palestine are something of a pattern for Running Chicken. I refer you to his discussion of a map published on the Rights and Humanity blog. There, Kohen focuses on the demographics of the ruling elite of Palestine, believing that because the map does not include information of Britain, Jordan, and Egypts various occupations (less relevant but more disappointing is his insistence that not mentioning the '67 war, which Israel began and used as an excuse for aggressive and imperial acquisition of land, somehow invalidates the third map). Again, this distinction is entirely academic: though it may be relevant to abstract analysis of borders and politics in the past, it's irrelevant to the conditions of the Arabs expelled in the Nakba, the families forcibly removed to make room for Israeli settlements, or the 1.8 million refugees that aren't allowed access to the non-rubble parts of what was once Palestine.

Incontinence & Overactive Bladder Health Center
Incontinence Drug Doesn't Affect Memory
March 31, 2004 -- The manufacturer of a new treatment for overactive bladder says its drug may be less likely to affect the memory than currently available therapies. In a study reported late last week, patients taking Enablex showed no evidence of memory or other cognitive problems.
Researchers say the new medication called Enablex treats urinary incontinence from overactive bladder by specifically targeting the bladder muscles that control urinary urges. They also say the drug is less likely to affect the brain and have side effects such as memory problems compared with other drugs that are currently on the market. But an incontinence expert contacted by WebMD says that cannot be proven until the medications are compared to each other.
"Right now (Enablex) has a theoretical edge, but it is certainly not a proven edge," says University of Pennsylvania urology professor Alan Wein, MD. "The only way to prove the edge is by comparing it to the other drugs in head to head studies."
M3 Receptor
An overactive bladder is known to cause a sudden and uncontrollable urge to urinate frequently. With an overactive bladder, the muscles of the bladder become spastic causing bladder contractions and involuntary urine loss. They are a few treatments that can be tried in people with the condition including biofeedfack, surgery, and medications that cause bladder muscles to relax.
Although medications used to treat an overactive bladder are effective there have been isolated reports of central nervous system impairment associated with widely prescribed overactive bladder drugs such as Detrol (Pfizer Pharmaceuticals) and Ditropan (Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceuticals).
These drugs, known as anticholinergics, act on the M3 receptor and cause bladder muscles to relax. This antispasmodic effect prevents the involuntary release of urine in people with overactive bladders. But they also act on other receptors associated with brain function and heart rhythm and side effects that can be caused by these drugs include confusion, headaches, drowsiness, and rapid heart rates.
According to a spokesperson for Enablex manufacturer Novartis, the new treatment more directly targets the M3 receptor. He added that the company hopes to launch its overactive bladder drug in the U.S. this year, pending Food and Drug Administration approval.
In a study involving 1,000 patients who took Enablex, presented March 26 at the 19th European Association of Urology Congress in Vienna, Austria, researchers reported a 77% reduction in the number of incontinence episodes that resulted in the changing of clothes or pads. That's comparable to the responses seen with the currently available overactive bladder medications.
In a separate report, researchers used computerized testing to compare the impact of Enablex on thinking and memory in 129 elderly overactive bladder patients. They found no measurable differences in memory or brain function between groups that received Enablex or a placebo pill.

If the course conditions at the British Open at Muirfield don't get ya, the officials will; Hideki Matsuyama was only thee shots behind the leaders on Saturday when he was assessed a penalty for slow play on the 17th hole, evidently taking too long to hit his shot out of the rough. Matsuyama went from a par to a bogey on the hole, a crushing blow considering how difficult is has been for golfers to record good scores on the treacherous course.
The Royal & Ancient golf society said Matsuyama and partner Johnson Wagner were 15 minutes behind schedule. Wagner defended Matsuyama after their round (via Yahoo! Sports):
Given his position in the tournament, and given the shot he faced on 17 — laying it up out of the fescue over the gorse and pot bunkers — I don't think he took too long. I think he executed a really good shot and under the situation, I think it's tragic. And I think the R&A should use better judgment.
While David Rickman, the R&A's rules director, defended the penalty, Wagner wasn't buying it:
They said they gave him extra time. But his caddie had to pace all the way to the fairway, 100 yards to get his carry number. I'm as against slow play as anybody, and I respect everything everybody is doing. But man, the kid was playing great today … and I think it's terrible that he got penalized.
Matsuyama now trails leader Lee Westwood by six strokes.

Executive Director
CHOICES, Inc. fosters a meaningful quality of life for youth and families. We inspire hope, strengthen foundations, and enrich environments through supportive individualized services.
Guiding Principles:
CHOICES is committed to the safety, stability and success of youth & families
Teamwork and positive relationships are vital
Continuous improvement is essential to meet our high quality standards
Financial accountability is imperative
Passion motivates our performance
CHOICES, Inc. Children Have Options in Caring Environments was founded in 1986 by Gina Frazier and Anita Johnson Patten. Led by their dreams and dedication to provide options in safe and caring environments for youth, Gina and Anita started a foster care agency. They were able to train and license five homes very quickly and provided six children with caring environments in those homes within months of opening their doors. The Foster Care Program has grown steadily over the years. Gina and Anita worked as an amazing team. Gina served as Executive Director of CHOICES, while Anita explored how we could provide even more services for kids and families in our community.
In April 1988, the Independent Living Program was added. Through this important program we provide scattered-site apartment living for older teens aging out of foster care, a relatively new concept in Ohio in 1988. The CHOICES, Inc. program was one of the first in Ohio and has continued to grow over the years.
Gina served as the Executive Director until October of 1997, when she was shot and killed by her estranged husband. She was a gentle woman who valued harmony and peace very much. She earned a Masters degree in Conflict Resolution from Antioch and was a professional mediator. She is still missed by family, friends and colleagues. Anita, our other visionary co-founder, was appointed Executive Director and guided the agency through this difficult time.
Anita led CHOICES through years of growth before retiring in 2005. To this day, she continues to support the dream she and Gina had back in 1986 to make a difference in the lives of our communitys most vulnerable kids and families.
In addition to Foster Care and Independent Living, CHOICES identified ways to help even more kids and families in our community and added our Home-Based Services and Mentoring Programs.
Gina and Anita created a solid foundation for the continued development of CHOICES, Inc. as an agency devoted to assisting youth and families in need. A passion for providing high quality services and care for youth and families guides the agency today and will continue to be their legacy.

DETROIT — Diagnoses of cancer, heart disease, stroke and rheumatoid arthritis could happen faster with technology being developed by a Wayne State University researcher.
Matthew Allen, Ph.D., assistant professor of chemistry in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is seeking to commercialize a class of contrast agents that can enhance the effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging scans.
Contrast agents are injectable "drugs" containing a paramagnetic element that creates temporary magnetic differences between similar tissues, enabling them to appear differently in an MRI scan. Of about 60 million annual MRI scans worldwide, 40 to 50 percent currently use contrast agents; the rest can show tissue differences without them.
Current technology uses a class of contrast agents based on the element gadolinium, but it fails at higher magnetic field strengths. As a result, scientists cannot take advantage of hardware advances that could shorten scan times and produce higher-resolution images using higher…

The Book: An Instant Classic and International Bestseller
Female Factor CEO Bridget Brennan wrote the book that The Wall Street Journal has called "esssential reading." Order it from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Indiebound today. For bulk orders for your corporate employees contact Female Factor.
Women are the engine of the global economy, driving 80% of consumer spending in the U.S. alone. They hold the purse strings, and when they've got a tight grip on them as they do now, companies must be shrewder than ever to win them over. Just when executives have mastered becoming technology literate, they find there's another skill they need: becoming female literate.
This isn't always easy. Gender is the most powerful determinant of how a person views the world and everything in it. It's more powerful than age, income, or race. While there are mountains of research done every year segmenting consumers and analyzing why they buy, more often than not, it doesn't factor in the one piece of information that trumps them all: the sex of the buyer. It's stunning how many companies overlook the psychology of gender, when we all know that men and women look at the world so differently.
Bridget Brennan's Why She Buys shows decision-makers how to bridge this divide and capture the business of the world's most powerful consumers, just when they need it most.

At least once a day we hear about the glory of cars of years past, whether for their light weight, their simplicity, their manual transmissions or the way you could order options without ordering packages. But we know that we – and yes, even we here at Autoblog – romanticize plenty of it; that light weight meant atrocious NVH, those options sheets didn't include any of the things we take for granted in a Ford Fiesta today.
Nevertheless, there are those classics that make it worth it – for them it is no problem to endure the constant draft of bad window seals, the need to add another quart of oil every couple hundred miles. Petrolicious has found one such car and owner, Pierantonio Micciarelli and his Fiat 2300 S Coupe in Milan, Italy. His Ghia-bodied two-door can't be driven during the day and cost him 800 euros in gas for a 2,500-kilometer trip to a wedding, but the payoff is that moving beauty that makes him "feel like an emperor."
But there's no reason to listen to us tell it – enjoy Macciarelli tell his own story in the video below.

A Valentine's Day Gift From 'The Young and The Restless'
Daniel Goddard and Christel Khalil dish Cane and Lily's 'Y&R' wedding
Cane and Lily have been to hell and back on "The Young and the Restless," but love prevails on Tuesday, Feb. 14. With Lily's cancer and all of Cane's secrets finally behind them, the couple says "I do," again. Daniel Goddard (Cane) and Christel Khalil (Lily) talk about the long road back to the altar, Cane and Lily's Valentine's Day wedding and what comes next.
Bing: More about 'The Young and the Restless'
MSN TV: It's been a long road for Cane and Lily. What can we expect from their second wedding?
Christel Khalil: Drama-free romance and happiness. The ceremony and reception are like a fairy tale.
Daniel Goddard: Most soap weddings, something goes wrong. Like in Cane and Lily's first wedding, before he left the chapel, he said, "Please forgive me for what I'm doing."
Khalil: This time, they wanted to let Lily and Cane's wedding to go off without a hitch, because people have been waiting for so long for this.
Goddard: Roughly a year ago, Cane was shot -- or Caleb was. It's amazing what a ride it's been. The fans are going to love it. It's everything soap operas are meant to be. It's all about the romance, the glamor, the love and the passion, and you're seeing that in a very well-styled and well-written wedding.
Where does the wedding take place?
Khalil: It takes place in Provence, France. Kay sets it all up and pays for all of them -- Harmony, Devon, Neil, Sofia, Abby, Olivia and the babies -- to go on her private jet. They write their own vows and Lily has the white dress, but this is their second go around, so they're being relaxed about it. It's a different vibe. It's not a frou-frou, fancy deal. It's more mature and more French.
What was it like to go on location to shoot at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills?
Khalil: It was gorgeous. And of course, it was nice to get out of the studio for the day and to be able to shoot outside and have things be a little more natural. I loved it.
Cane and Lily have been through so much: Did you ever lose faith in them finding their way back to each other?
Khalil: Our coupling is so popular that I don't think they'll ever break us up. No matter what happens, they'll always get through it.
What is it about this couple that resonates with fans?
Goddard: It rings true in their hearts. Other couples on the show might have infidelities or say one thing and do another, but the fans understand that there's such a love between Cane and Lily that every time they face an obstacle, they want one to help the other through the obstacle. It goes back to the core of soap values, which is strong, romantic couples -- beautiful ingénues who sweep up the hearts of strong leading men. It's about creating a place where you can say, "I believe in romance."
Are these two really past all the drama?
Khalil: There will always be trouble! But the drama between Lily and Cane is played out. They've gone through everything they can possibly go through. When you have someone fake their own death, that's pretty crazy.
Goddard: Their drama has always been, "Cane's got a secret." I think his secrets have run their course.
Khalil: I'd love to see drama that allows us to interact with other characters on the show. It's been a bubble for Lily and Cane.
Christel, Daniel is known for being a cutup. Is it ever hard to keep a straight face with him?
Khalil: I think I make him laugh more. I get a little goofy.
Goddard: When I make her laugh, she just loses it. But she makes me laugh more, because she'll say things I never expect to come out of her mouth. Christel's very self-deprecating, which is one of her most endearing qualities. She'll say something that's completely out of left field and it's her response to what she's said that really makes me laugh. Her timing is impeccable, because she doesn't realize she's said it and then she'll go, "Oh wow, I just said that." I love working with her. I'm a lucky man. She makes my job so much easier. I love her.
Khalil: We always have a good time.
For the record, I don't believe there's a "The Young and the Restless" wedding with no big surprise.
Khalil: Well, there is a surprise guest that we don't know about…
Goddard: It's something Jill sees that they're not aware of. The great thing is that it's an external force at the wedding that will lead to conflict and drama, outside of Cane and Lily, which to me is the essence of great soap opera. You can be with each other and weather the storms together, because that's what a good marriage is. When Cane gets back, Jill comes to him with a proposal he can't say no to and Lily says to Cane, "Look baby, you know you want to do this." You're already seeing the team effect.
"The Young and the Restless" airs weekdays on CBS.

Interceptions and Interceptions and Bears--Oh My!
10/2/12 in NFL | MortonsLaw | 156 respect
Tony Romo had already thrown 4 interceptions, and I was preparing my trash talk for Cowboy fans at work. I was checking all fantasy action in both sports when I hear Mike Tirico say Tony Romo just threw his 5th INT. You have no idea how great it will be to walk into work and hit somebody with the line when least expected, 'Romo just threw another pick.'
The funny thing about that is, when asked of my opinion on the game at work, I said the QB who throws the pick 6 will lose the game. Who woulda thought we would see two pick 6's? Both defenses coming in were highly ranked; Cowboys #1 and Bears #6. When you consider the pass rush on both sides and poor judgment from both QB's during their career, that's not too hard to predict.
If you're a Cowboys fan you have to be sick from the standpoint that Romo was actually 31/43 for 307 Yds. After throwing his first pick 6, he settled down nicely and led the TD drive before the half. He shredded the soft cover 2 that the Bears call a defense. He did a great job avoiding the rush and found receivers wide open. If you watch Bears games or happen to be a fan of the team, you know how easy it is to throw on this defense when given proper protection.
I was infuriated as a Bears fan with that drive before the half, because they had all the momentum up 10-0 and then the Cowboys gained a great deal back by trailing just 10-7 at the half. What shocked me more than anything was the Bears opening drive to start the second half. After putting up just 3 offensive points in the first half, Cutler opened it up and the protection was there. He hit Jeffery for 11 and 16 yards, Marshall for 10 yards, and then off his back foot made a great throw to Devin Hester for a 34-yard TD.
I was blown away--the Bears made adjustments--ALERT THE MEDIA. Answering the Dallas score was as big as any of the 5 INT's. No idea how the game goes if the Bears punt on that first possession to start the second half, and then Dallas gets the ball back down 10-7. I had been screaming for Cutler to do something big all week and he finally delivered with that one drive.
Romo then once again abused the Bears defense and went right down the field. However, as often was the case in this game, a wide receiver let him down. A pass intended for Kevin Ogletree inside the 10 got batted up in the air and intercepted. Cutler then did his best to keep the Cowboys in the game when he forgot that Demarcus Ware was on the field and held the ball too long. Typical Cutler ignoring the clock in his head, got stripped and the Cowboys recovered. Normally I lose it and scream profanity. However, you almost expect Cutler to make at least one bonehead play in a game. You just pray that is the only one.
So Romo gets the ball back and now I'm thinking short field--Cowboys are at the very least getting a Field Goal. Instead he gets pressured by Henry Melton and tries to shovel a pass towards Jason Witten, but throws it right to Lance Briggs, who takes it to the house. I was thrilled to hear Steve Young place the onus on Romo in the post game show. It seems most at ESPN, including Gruden during the broadcast, are Romo apologists. Now while Romo had zero help from Dez Bryant and Ogletree, he still makes bad decisions at times.
This was a big win for the Bears. Cutler and Marshall looked like they did in week 1 against the Colts. Hopefully there will be more consistency between the two and we won't have to wait another 3 weeks to see that again. This is the rare occasion where you live with the defense allowing over 400 yards of offense. The Bears lead the league in takeaways after the 5 tonight. Great night if you had the Bears D in fantasy.
Bears are now tied with the Vikings (the Vikings?) at 3-1 in the NFC North. The pieces are all in place for this to be a special season for the team from the windy city. It's all about execution and hopefully a little luck when it comes to injuries. If you're a Bears fan--get excited, this could be a fun ride.

Bryan Jacobs:
"Into Callous Hands" 2007
Musique concrete
Not available yet commercially
* * * * *
A few summers ago my friend Bryan first came up with the idea of writing a piece that used extreme vocal nonverbal emotive gestures such as crying, screaming, and panicked breathing. We talked about the idea quite a bit initially but it wasn't until last winter that he set out to finally try the idea. When he first proposed a similar idea for a seminar we were both taking with Philippe Leroux his idea was to use vocal samples, possibly from one character in a foreign film, and cross-synthesize them with an acoustic instrument such as an oboe.
It didn't take too long before this proposed idea was abandoned in favor of sampling extreme emotive vocal sounds from a number of movies by Lars Von Trier, Krzysztof Kieslowski, and Ingmar Bergman. Following extensive cataloguing, studying, and a test montaging these samples it became clear that the idea of cross-synthesizing this material with an acoustic instrument would probably not work. Despite this, he found a number of ways to bring out the more pitch and harmony-based elements from this material and create an acousmatic piece with these movie samples that, although it lacked any conventional acoustic instrument, used elements such as filtered noise and ring modulation to focus the listener's ears on the harmony and more conventional musical elements in extreme vocal nonverbal emotive gestures.
This piece has ended up being quite successful and, although I think it a bit too clean and didactic compared to Bryan's initial esthetic goal, it has been since selected for playback in a number of festivals.
Since then he wrote another piece using the same materials for a large chamber ensemble and is also currently finishing a piece with the same materials for the McGill Contemporary Music Ensemble with the assistance of the McGill Digital Composition Studio but I think that, so far, the most successful of his pieces to use these samples is "Into Callous Hands" which was commissioned for the 7th Biennial International Competition "Concours Luc Ferrari" competition in France.
Unlike the Byran's other pieces exploring this esthetic the music in "Into Callous Hands" entirely focuses from these extreme vocal nonverbal emotive gestures. The difficult to relate instruments, pitches, as well as the harmonic and didactic qualities of his other tape piece are missing in this piece. All that remains is the voice and its utmost intimate and dirty dramatic extremities with an engaging formal construction that draws the listener into what really constitutes these sounds. It may not be emotionally easy music but it is definitely worth hearing.

God Working in My Life| December 21, 2009
Wow! It's been a busy weekend. We were out of town from early Saturday morning (we left around 7 AM) until after 3 PM today. It was long! It was a great time to be with our family members, but I am glad to be home now. There were tons of people, tons of (not-so-healthy) food, and not much sleep. A lot of the stuff I've done on this blog in the last few days (I spent some time when others were napping or engaged in other activities checking comments and such) has been in a sleep-deprived, distracted haze. So if anything or anyone got overlooked, or if maybe I said some things I shouldn't have…I'm sorry. Like I said, it's been a little crazy.

18-Year-Old 'Glee' Star Charice Gets Botox

Now her rep is telling E! News that this just isn't true. "Charice received some Botox shots in her jaw due to muscle pain, and she had a facial," the singer's rep said. "She already looks fresh. This has been so blown out of proportion."
What do you think of an 18-year-old getting Botox?

Too many hurdles are being faced by today's female athletes
While British women are leading the way at the Olympics in taking home the medals, Tamara Hinson argues not enough is being done to support our female athletes.
Lizzie Armitstead, who yesterday took silver in the women's road race, has told the Times that as a professional cyclist, it's hard not to become disheartened by the lack of investment in women's cycling, and women's sport in general, pointing out that Sky has poured millions of pounds into the hugely successful men's road team, and imploring those at the top to do more to promote women athletes in general.
The International Cycling Union's spokesperson Enrico Carpani responded by saying that while the organisation was "doing everything they can" to raise the profile of women's cycling - raising hopes for a women's World Cup - he added that it was unable to force the hand of sponsors.
This would seem to imply that those funding the larger events simply aren't willing to cough up the money required to fund a women's equivalent. And therein lies the problem.
Often, sponsors simply aren't willing to fund women-only events
Being an athlete is an expensive business, and sponsorship deals are crucial, allowing athletes to spend more time training, and helping to fund major events. And often, sponsors simply aren't willing to fund women-only events because they know that these events simply won't get as much exposure.
In the world of sport, the more impressive feats of endurance are always going to attract more coverage (and thus more sponsorship deals) and quite simply, men are often better at them.
Take the Tour de France for example. Sports physiologists have pointed out that one of the reasons women don't compete in the Tour de France is because they're simply not as physically capable, due to their smaller body mass and decreased strength. Like it or not, men are built differently to women.
In America, male collegiate-level cyclists routinely post times much better than the world's best female riders. Men have, on average, larger hearts, which pump 16 per cent more litres of blood per heartbeat. In addition, they generally have larger lungs, which means that the average man's maximum oxygen consumption is around 25 percent higher than a woman's. In the world of the Olympics, a top male athlete's maximum oxygen consumption is around 10 percent higher than a top female athlete's.
All-female events are just as exciting as men's
However, as last weekend's Olympic road race proved, all-female events are just as exciting as men's. Despite this, the powers that be have failed to make a women's equivalent of the Tour de France a success. France's Grand Boucle is one example. Organisers of this women's road race struggled to find funding and were forced to hold the various stages of the race in the few towns and cities which were able to contribute money, which meant long transfers in between the stages.
The race was cancelled in 2004 due to "organisational difficulties" and in 2009, several stages were removed before it was announced the race would be discontinued permanently. The two remaining major women's road races were Tour de l'Aude Cycliste Féminin and Route de France Féminine, but the former was cancelled in 2010 and the latter in 2011.
When women's sports are marginalised, perhaps we simply stop believing in the abilities of female sportswomen
While all this suggests that there simply isn't enough interest in some women's sporting events, many point out that the type of situation quickly becomes one vicious, self-perpetuating circle. When women's sports are marginalised, perhaps we simply stop believing in the abilities of female sportswomen and simply don't believe such events will offer the same drama offered by the men's equivalents.
When swimmer Michael Phelps stormed to victory at the Olympics in Beijing, nobody suggested his stunning performance was cause for suspicion, but this isn't always the case when the situation is reversed.
Yesterday, Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen smashed the 400m world record by a second and her own personal best by five. Shiwen's time was faster than the time 27-year-old Ryan Lochte had managed minutes earlier in the same event - a time that had earned the American swimmer a gold medal.
However, the story which made the headlines today wasn't Shiwen's stunning achievement but Clare Balding's reaction to the feat. Immediately after the race, Balding asked fellow commentator and swimmer Mark Foster: "How many questions will there be over somebody who can swim so much faster than she has ever swum before?"
The BBC denied Balding was suggesting doping was behind the Chinese swimmer's spectacular feat but the damage was done. And it seems unlikely that Balding would have made such a comment if the competitor in question had been male.
This in itself is a case in point: we all need to stop underestimating sports women and take more of an interest in female athletes. Unfortunately, until those with the cold, hard cash do the same, it looks like little will change.
