There is still a lot of time before the college football season arrives, but here at Go Joe Bruin, we believe there is enough evidence to answer a very important question about UCLA and USC Football right now. Thank you College Game Day for the prompt.
Who is the hotter school in Los Angeles right now… pic.twitter.com/2uJ6VJFOZC
— College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay) April 29, 2014
Based off of this four statistic graphic, who is the hotter team? Well, It is not that easy. Thank you for playing ESPN, but there is more to it than that. So now, let us examine some of the major differences between UCLA and USC post-spring practice and heading into next season.
Brett Hundley vs. Cody Kessler
There is no comparison here. Hundley's name has been associated with Heisman candidacy since the end of last season. Hundley is a QB that few were able to stop last season. Kessler is a guy that was not sure he had the starting QB job for USC until the third game of last season. Let us compare statistics:
Passing – Yards: 3071, Completion: 67.2%, TDs: 24, INTs: 9
Rushing – Yards: 748, Average Per Carry: 4.7, TDs: 11
Passing – Yards: 2968, Completion: 65.4%, TDs: 20, INTs: 7
Rushing – Yards: -124, Average Per Carry: -3.0, TDs: 1
Advantage: Hundley and UCLA
Let us start with USC. They are rebuilding and have depth issues. Last season they allowed 34 sacks and had a slew of linemen bitten by the injury bug. That takes a while to solidify.
UCLA has a two-deep line with some change. They recently added 6'7″, 327 lbs. Miami University transfer Malcolm Bunche who has three years of experience on the O-line. He will be aiding Caleb Benenoch, Jake Brendel and Alex Redmond who all played significant times last year. One thing that has been weak for UCLA in the last decade is the O-Line. That does not seem to be a problem anymore.
Advantage: UCLA
Jim Mora Vs. Steve Sarkisian
Mora is more of a solid coach. This is evident from his first two years in Westwood. He has completely turned around a team that was mired in mediocrity. He is averaging 9.5 wins in his first two seasons and even captured the the Pac-12 South Division in his first year. Against USC, he is 2-0.
Sarkisian averaged 6.8 wins in five seasons as a head coach, all with the Washington Huskies. This past season, he managed to get 8 wins for the first time in his head coaching career. If the Trojans were looking to get a big-time hire, they sorely missed out.
Advantage: UCLA
#BruinRevolution Vs. #TurnUpSC
This may be the battle of hashtags, but it puts into perspective the mindset of both schools. The #BruinRevolution is dominating, thought provoking and above all, it is self-explanatory. As for #TurnUpSC, well it sounds like an advert for a new garden at Southern Cal.
Advantage: UCLA
USC is not the team they were when they beat UCLA 50-0, three seasons ago. They are the team that lost to UCLA 38-28 and 35-14 in the last two. USC is on the down swing from such recent issues involving NCAA sanctions, the Lane Kiffin affair and a bad break-up with former interim head coach, Ed Orgeron.
UCLA is on the upswing, there is no doubt about that. The Bruins are the team to beat, not just in LA, but also in the Pac-12. Mora has this team running on all cylinders at a break-neck speed and they are only getting better. It is no doubt who the better team in LA is right now. Just ask Brett Hundley.

2014 has been so out of this world crazy beautiful, which I kind of needed. Since I moved back to the States, and probably for about a year and a half before that, I was pretty miserable and trying to navigate how to deal with how aware I was of how unworthy and meaningless I felt. All of my discomfort was compounded by a failing relationship that I was wrapped up in trying to save, and spent a month in Berlin attempting to at the beginning of the year. That didn't work. I didn't know it was possible to love someone so much but still not be able to be with them until then, and learning that changed a lot.
And here I am now, six months later, having just returned home having spent the 4th of July at my parents with the boy I'm totally lovestruck with. I've grown up, or I'm growing up, and everything feels like it's changing so fast that I'm not quite sure how to get through it all yet, but absolutely everything feels way more important than ever before.

Facebook Sent A Mobile Confirmation Code To My Old Phone Number?
November 16, 2011 by Van Dibona
Filed under Mobile Q&A
to regain access to my account, facebook has sent a confirmation code to my OLD phone number. therefore, i can't enter the confirmation code i was sent. i tried emailing facebook, but i keep getting an automated response. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH A PASSWORD. DON'T TELL ME TO CHANGE MY PASSWORD. i already did this, and it still prompts me for the code sent to my old phone number. i can't even change the phone number associated with my account because i can't log in to my page without entering the code, which i don't have!
please help! facebook help pages were useless! they told me to reset my password, but it's still asking for the confirmation code sent to my old mobile number.
do i REALLY have to have my number changed back so i can request the password again?! this is so stupid. please tell me there is another way around this.

No matter what your financial status in life, virtually everyone needs to have a savings account. But first, do you have a plan for those savings? A prescription before a diagnosis results in malpractice, so first decide WHY you're saving, what your goals may be, and how much you can afford to save (get that budget in force!).
What are you saving for?
Generally, the money you put into your savings account should be for a short term goal (less than 5-10 years) or for an emergency fund. Money you're saving for things that stretch out longer than 5-10 years should ideally be invested (an entirely different topic).
What are some possible short-term savings goals?
- An engagement ring
- A vacation
- A vehicle
- New appliances
- Back to school clothing
- Christmas gifts
It's also acceptable to have a savings goal to accumulate a certain amount in your savings account for transfer to an investment vehicle.
How to Set Up a Savings Plan
A savings plan is breakdown of how much of your budget surplus you need to put into savings each month to achieve your savings goals. If your budget leaves you with a $300monthly surplus and a $3,000 engagement ring is your sole savings goal, you should plan to put $300 in your savings each month for 10 months. If you're saving for several different goals at once, your plan should subdivide your monthly surplus based on the amount and urgency of each savings goal.
Savings Accounts
The easiest place to keep money that you intend to save is in a savings account. They all work roughly the same way: you deposit money, it earns interest, and you withdraw it when you need it. These accounts are virtually risk-free since they're insured (currently up to $250,000) by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), one of the U.S. government agencies established to protect savers from bank failure.
How to Compare Savings Accounts
Though all savings accounts serve the same basic function, they differ in terms of yield, fees, and withdrawal policies.
- Yield: An account's yield refers to the amount of interest that the bank pays on money deposited in the account. Yield is expressed as an annual percentage. For instance, a savings account with a $1,000 balance and a yield of 4% will earn $40 in interest every year depending on when interest is computed and added. If two savings accounts are equal in every other way, the account that offers the higher yield is generally the better choice.
- Fees: Most banks have low minimum requirements for savings accounts (usually $50–100) and charge a monthly fee of $10 or so if your account falls below that amount. Some banks may also charge a monthly or annual maintenance fee as well. When shopping for a savings account, look for one that charges no maintenance fees and has a low minimum balance requirement, ideally $500 or less.
- Withdrawal policies: Banks tend to discourage customers from making frequent withdrawals from savings accounts by placing limits on the number of withdrawals that can be made per month. Some banks tout the comparative flexibility of their savings accounts by offering check writing and other features that make their savings accounts function more like checking accounts. If you'd like the freedom to withdraw more often from your savings account, be sure to inquire about withdrawal and check-writing options before you set up an account.
Savings Account Providers
You can set up a savings account at an online bank, a traditional bank, or, a credit union.
- Online banks: Online banks (such as ING Direct) have no branch offices, so you must do all your banking online or by mail. Since online banks have such little overhead, they typically offer the highest yields and the lowest fees. In my experience, their service is spectacular!
- Traditional banks: There are three main types of traditional banks—local, regional, and national. Local and regional banks are based in a particular city or region. They tend to have the most personalized customer service but may offer lower yields than national banks.
- Credit unions: Credit unions are like private banks: to use their services, you first must apply for membership and gain admission. Credit unions tend to offer higher yields than traditional banks, but some also charge monthly or annual membership fees.
Some people feel more comfortable using a traditional bank or a credit union, since they can visit the bank in person with detailed questions or would like to set up another account, such as a checking account. Me? I prefer using an online bank (I use ING Direct) and they are a great choice if you just need a basic account to park your savings in an account with a comparably high yield. Online banks are also a great choice if you live in a rural area or in a location without retail bank branches.
How to Set Up a Savings Account
Setting up an account at any of these financial institutions typically involves filling out a few basic forms with your personal information, including your Social Security number, and making an initial deposit to establish the account, which often can be as little as $25. And remember, all U.S. based savings accounts are FDIC insured up to $250,000.
The next step: Automate Your Savings
The best way to force yourself to stick to your savings plan is to use an automatic deposit plan. These plans automate the process of depositing money into your account each month. To set up a plan:
- If you work for a company: Contact the payroll department to request that an amount equal to your monthly savings goal be deposited directly from your paycheck into your savings account each month.
- If you're self-employed: Contact your bank to arrange for an automatic monthly transfer from your checking account to your savings account.
Most likely you'll adjust quickly to having a lower amount of take-home pay and won't miss the money that goes straight into your savings account. If you find that you don't adjust, you can always cancel your automatic deposit plan. If you'd prefer to have a bit more flexibility with the money that you deposit automatically, you can choose to direct the money into a checking account, which typically has no limits on monthly withdrawals.

This rug is stylish, well made and a bargain. We are using it indoors and it is in a high traffic area, so the indoor/outdoor aspect should prove to be a good choice for wear and tear. The overall pattern is larger scale than can be determined in the picture-which I love. The color (blue) is so pretty.
This rug is grey and light blue not dark/ navy blue like I thought. Beautiful as long as that is what you want. I will probably have to return it.
I purchased this item and I just LOVE it... I used this for one of the houses that I was staging and the way that everything popped was just brilliant... This item is a MUST!!!!

According to a report, the Arizona Cardinals have made signing free-agent tackle Jared Veldheer of the Oakland Raiders a top priority.
The Arizona Republic reported Sunday that with Branden Albert, one of the top left tackles in free agency, apparently headed to the Miami Dolphins, the Cardinals will step up its effort to land Veldheer, who is three years younger than Albert and will likely require less coin to sign.
The Raiders did not use its franchise or transition tag on Veldheer last week but the team was in discussions up with Veldheer and his representatives until Thursday. Reportedly, Oakland has offered Veldheer a contract and the 26-year-old was reportedly going to weigh his options over the weekend, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport on Thursday via Twitter:
Update on #Raiders & Jared Veldheer: He's going to take his decision into the weekend, weigh his options and the market. Nothing imminent.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 7, 2014
Unrestricted free agents cannot visit or sign with teams until noon Pacific, but team representatives and player agents could begin discussing contracts on Saturday.
Veldheer missed the first 11 games of last season after tearing his triceps in the preseason. He was a third-round pick by the Raiders in 2010 out of Hillsdale College in Michigan.

2013 NFL Draft Picks
2012 Draft Recap
1.13 Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame
3.17 Jamell Fleming, CB, Oklahoma
4.17 Bobby Massie, OT, Mississippi
5.16 Senio Kelemete, OG, Washington
6.07 Justin Bethel, CB, Presbyterian
6.15 Ryan Lindley, QB, San Diego State
7.14 Nate Potter, OT, Boise State
Biggest Needs
Offensive Tackle
Outside Linebacker
The Arizona Cardinals got off to a 4-0 start in 2012, with wins over the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, but would go just 1-11 the rest of the way as they could never find a consistent starting quarterback. Now that they have Carson Palmer, they won't be drafting one with their first pick, leaving the offensive line as the likely position to be addressed. Offensive tackle is likely to be the pick here, but don't rule out safety, or perhaps one of the pass-rushing linebackers like Jarvis Jones or Barkevious Mingo.
Previous Pick: Cleveland Browns took Oregon DE/OLB Dion Jordan
Up Next: Buffalo Bills

Halloween has come and gone: the costumes are put away, the kids have come down from the sugar high, and the jack-o-lantern is starting to wilt... and there are still pounds and pounds of candy all over the place! What to do?
Our military men and women deployed around the world always enjoy candy in their care packages, and this is the perfect time of year for shipping chocolate--the cooler weather means it's less likely to melt! Patriotic kids and parents can send extra Halloween candy to Soldiers' Angels, who will make sure it brightens the day of a service member far from home (please be sure to send "the good stuff,"--no crushed/melted candy or broken/torn wrappers, etc).
Soldiers' Angels asks all Angels to spread the word and get their community involved in sharing their Halloween candy to give our troops a taste of home.
If you live east of the Mississippi, please ship your Halloween candy to:

What's Texas Instruments Inc. today is celebrating its first Jack Kilby Day in honor of innovation.
On Sept. 12, 1958, TI electrical engineer Jack Kilby built the world's first integrated circuit on a single chip, which transformed technology and made him a legend. Kilby, who won the Nobel Prize Physics in 2000, died in 2005.
As a company in the fast-changing world of technology, innovation is crucial for TI.
"It really takes place anywhere," TI CEO Rich Templeton says about innovation in a video created for Jack Kilby Day. "Curiosity is something that hopefully is running through your mind all the time. It could be traveling, it could be working out."
The video, which has not been made public, stars employees talking about when and where they think best — popular answers include in the shower, on planes and while walking or running — and what innovation means to them.
Other Jack Kilby Day efforts include:
* TI will recognize 12 global employees — "Modern Day Jacks" — nominated for their spirit of innovation. Three are based in Dallas: Fernando Mujica, director of Kilby Labs' Autonomous Vehicles Labs, is developing 3-D sensing technology to help cars understand their surroundings; Gautham Ramachandran, an analog applications engineer who has worked with robotics; and Buyue Zhang works on TI's 360 degree-view camera product that helps drivers park and drive an automobile more safely.
UPDATE 1:40 P.M.: Today at TI's Dallas headquarters, Ramachandran showed off technology he helped develop to send special vibrations from a smartphone to a smartwatch when an email comes from mom or a friend. Now, he's working on different applications.
UPDATE AT 2:45 P.M.: The other nine Modern Jacks are: Greg Shurtz in Sugarland; Robert Wessels in Seattle; Triton Zhang in Chengdu, China; Arni Ingimundarson, Lutz Naumann and Gerhard Thiele in Germany; and Kedar Chitnis, Sandeep Oswal and the industrial systems team in India.

From sculpting to space exploration: How Leap Motion has us reaching for the stars
7th Jan 2014 | 11:10
It's about more than OS control
Each time a new motion control-based device shuffles into view, it feels like it's brought a piece of the future with it.
Popularised by the Wii's pick-up-and-play appeal and evolved by competing games consoles, hands-free motion control finally made its way to PCs and laptops in the summer of 2013 courtesy of California-based company Leap Motion.
Formerly known as OcuSpec when it was founded in 2010, Leap Motion has amassed a growing global developer base tasked with creating apps for its gesture-based controller, which can be bought as a plug-and-play USB device or picked up as an embedded peripheral in laptops and keyboards.
We spoke to Leap Motion co-founder and CEO Michael Buckwald on the company's progression so far, how the controller is evolving on a technical level and how it might be handy for business in more ways than one.
TechRadar Pro: The company had a busy three months at the end of 2013. What went down?
Michael Buckwald: In the past three months there have been a lot of important milestones. We expanded our global distribution significantly since our US launch, growing to find ourselves in around 3,000 retail stores globally.
We have partnerships with Maplin and Amazon UK, and MediaMart in Australia and Switzerland. Then there are stores in South Korea and Canada, and we're entering Japan.
There's been lots of great traction - we've got great retail partners partnering with us to build great experiences. We've also seen the number of apps in our app store, called Airspace, grow from 75 at launch to over 150 today. The total number of developers in the ecosystem using our SDK has grown to 80,000, and they're spread out in about 110 countries.
TRP: How have developers taken to Leap Motion, and do you think your Airspace app store will grow quicker than it has in the past year?
MB: The developers are very spread out. There's probably about 20 or 30 countries that represent that majority of developers, but the '110 countries' stat is a cool one as it shows just how global the reach is.
TRP: In which regions is Leap most popular?
TRP: I'd say the US and Europe, which probably makes up 60% of our developer base, but countries like Japan and China are very well represented too.
TRP: What can you tell us about Leap Motion's technological progression, in terms of both hardware and API?
MB: One of the things we've done over the past few months is create a new module reference design that takes the module at the top of the peripheral, which is about 10mm, and reduce it to 3.5mm so that it's easy to be embedded in things like laptops and ultra-thin keyboards.
TRP: How about mobile devices – smartphones and tablets?
MB: We've been saying that our goal is to have Leap Motion in everything that's a computer or has a computer, so I think that tablets and phones are a natural next step. Our conversations are ongoing, but that could happen as early as this year - not only integration into tablets and phones but we'd also like to see additional OEM partners on the PC side.
TRP: Will separate apps need to be created for mobile devices, or will there be universal ones that work on PCs too?
MB: I think it depends. Most of the time it's probably going to be a universal app where there may have to be small modifications. For example, you can assume that the user has both hands free on a laptop or desktop, but that may not be a valid assumption as a tablet app developer - you make want to make it so that the user has one hand free while holding the tablet with the other hand.
In general, our philosophy for tablets and PCs is very similar. It's about letting people do things they can't do well today, and that goes back to the company's original vision which was to take the frustration out of creating something 3D on a computer.
We were frustrated with the fact that a five-year-old child can make something with Play-Doh, but it takes a professional modeller an hour to do the same thing. There are lots of examples of that, whether it's things in 3D or creation sculpting, education or exploration. Those experiences just don't happen on computers today, and our mission is to bring them to PC and to bring them to tablets.
TRP: Can you see Airspace picking up traction to out more apps in the next 12 months than the previous 12 months?
MB: Hopefully. I think the overall growth of the ecosystem is directly correlated to the number of apps in Airspace, and we've definitely seen a very sharp growth in the number of developers after launch. That curb is increasing exponentially, so that's a positive indicator.
The other thing is the number of customers that are downloading apps. Customers are global, meaning our devs can sell apps to customers buying Leap today who are based in about a dozen major retail markets where there's around 3,000 stores.
There's also the embedded side of our business. Airspace comes bundled with units such as the HP Envy 17 Leap Motion Edition laptop. That encourages developer growth, especially as HP is implementing Leap in 11 SKUs (stock keeping units - versions of products) - those being desktop and all-in-one computers - bringing the total number of SKUs to 12.
Both of those things are really exciting for developers because they can lead to significant growth.
TRP: What has the reception been like to HP's Envy 17?
MB: I think that's been a great start to the embedded program with HP and, broadly speaking, the 17-inch laptop market is important, but it's also been used to test the waters.
TRP: Will see Leap Motion embedded in keyboards?
MB: It's definitely a possibility. HP has embedded the Leap Motion tech into a keyboard that's included with 11 new SKUs, so when you buy a PC it comes with a Leap Motion keyboard. The great thing about that approach is that it's flexible.
TRP: Can you see any business potential for Leap Motion?
MB: There's a lot of potential professional or business use cases. Some of those are through actual consumer apps in Airspace.
One of our developers is Autodesk. They have a plugin for Maya, which is a $5,000 to $10,000 suite used by software engineers. Then there's the Cubase iC pro music app, and we're seeing people use Leap in surgery and other environments where you don't want to get your hands dirty.
There are also surgeons on YouTube that have been using consumer computer control apps through Leap, along with metal device companies and people developing interactive heads-up display technology in cars.
Anything that requires interaction with a 3D environment or simply being touch-free will be fully realized with our technology. There are multiple applications of this across 3D design, education, medical, data modeling, automotive and more.
TRP: Do you think its business potential will become clear over time?
MB: It's very early days and we're at the very tip of the iceberg of a long journey, one that touches PCs but will also go to many other places too. We have a role on PCs and tablets as a secondary input device, as a way to view things, but it's not about OS control. It's about doing things like feeling you've just explored the streets of London without being there. Our freeform app, for example, allows anyone to walk up to a computer, sculpt something in 3D and then print it in 3D.
One of the most important things about Freeform is that it's not just the app, but also its menu system, which is definitely the best approach to a menu. It's an example of how early on things are - even things like menus are created differently by developers and there's innovation happening.
It's incredible to think of how much potential there is and how disruptive things developers create will be - we see the bar get raised every day from an app perspective. We're also doing things constantly with the software. Even though Leap is a physical device that people buy in a store, it's as much a software product as it is a hardware one. We push free software updates that significantly change the performance of the device.
TRP: Do they change how the device tracks hand movements?
MB: There's a major enhancement to the core tracking we've that been working on it for a year and a half. It makes it so that people can rotate their hands 360 degrees, and the tracking is constant, so the user no longer has to familiarise how far they can turn their hands, so there's a sense of robustness from that.
All of that dramatically decreases the amount of time it takes for developers to build apps. That's our vision for the company - we don't think of Leap as a gesture control device - we think of it as motion control. We want there to be incredible control of people's hands and fingers - to allow people to pick up things to create direct physical experiences.
TRP: What's Leap Motion driven by - the hardware or the software?
MB: The unique Leap Motion experience is provided through software. The hardware uses simple component parts.
TRP: Might we see Leap being bundled with 3D printers in the future?
MB: Absolutely. The thing we're most passionate about is democratising content creation - whether that's music, drawing or 3D sculpting. Those are areas where there's most momentum. Then there's 3D printing, communication and education, and also the music community. If you search YouTube and search for Leap Motion there's videos of five-year-old kids using Leap to be amateur DJs.
We're very passionate about taking something we think everyone wants, which is to be creative, and bringing that back to computers.

How your business can help protect those who protect us
Maybe it's a "We Support Our Troops" sign at the front of your business or a special discount for members of the military. There are lots of ways companies try to show appreciation to servicemembers and their families. If Veterans Day has you thinking about how to say "thank you" for their sacrifice, the FTC has an easy first step: Honor their legal rights.

Malaysian Restaurants in Denver
Malaysian food is similar to but not quite exactly the same as Indonesian food. Denver Malaysian restaurants prove this fact with their unique culinary delicacies such as mee goreng and nasi indo, both of which exemplify the heavy influence of Indian cuisine on Malaysian foods. Satay is a perennial favorite of this cuisine, equivalent to a kabob of the Far East.

Hypertension/High Blood Pressure Health Center
High Blood Pressure: The Invisible Health Risk
Change Your Blood Pressure, Change Your Life
We don't know exactly what causes high blood pressure, although we do know that family history plays a role. You can't do anything about your genes, or about getting older, or about being black -- all added risk factors for hypertension (hypertension affects about 40% of the black population, and it's more likely to show up earlier in life and be more severe than in whites). But you're also not doing yourself any favors if your pantry is stocked with potato chips and other salty treats, if you drink too much alcohol, and if the last time you worked up a sweat was in anticipation of the Survivor finale.
The good news: all that can be changed. One of the best ways to control hypertension is -- surprise! -- with healthy diet and exercise, the same things that help to prevent so many other diseases and disorders.
The gold standard of hypertension eating plans is the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), endorsed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and clinically proven to reduce blood pressure. This low-fat diet calls for:
- 7-8 servings a day of high-fiber grains
- 4-5 servings a day of fruits
- 4-5 servings a day of vegetables
- 3 servings a day of low-fat dairy
- 2 or fewer servings a day of meat, poultry, or fish
- 4-5 servings a week of beans, nuts, or seeds
Another diet -- DASH-Sodium -- calls for reducing salt to 1,500 mg a day (about 2/3 teaspoon). Both diets help people lower their blood pressure, but studies indicate that the DASH-Sodium plan lowers blood pressure the most.
The American Heart Association reports that blood pressure can fall significantly after only 12 weeks of either a 1,200-calorie diet or an hour a day of aerobic exercise. Indeed, they report that in recent studies, aerobic exercise alone reduces both weight and blood pressure more effectively than diet alone. But your best bet: Improve your activity level and your eating habits. Even if you don't have high blood pressure now, healthy habits today will help prevent hypertension tomorrow.
Medical Treatment Options for High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure can't always be completely controlled with a healthy lifestyle. And some people, especially those with additional complications, such as diabetes and kidney disease, urgently need to lower blood pressure to safe levels. That's where medication comes in.
There's a long list of drugs that are commonly used to lower blood pressure and help prevent heart attack and stroke, including ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and diuretics. Recently, they've been joined by the latest, and possibly most exciting, class of hypertension drugs: angiotensin receptor blockers, or ARBs. In early December, an international trial comparing blood pressure-lowering treatments was stopped early when patients taking an ARB combined with a calcium channel blocker showed significant cardiovascular benefits (such as reduced rates of heart attack and stroke) compared with those taking an older combination of a beta-blocker and a diuretic.

INDIANAPOLIS | Be sure to take a close look at the "old" Indianapolis Motor Speedway during Sunday's race, because it soon will get some pricey upgrades, courtesy of Hoosier taxpayers and race fans.
Republican Gov. Mike Pence joined race officials Friday for a ceremonial public signing of a law that will give a $100 million state loan to the private corporation that owns the speedway to help it pay for, well, no one knows what exactly.
Speedway officials have said they're considering using the money to improve the stands, concession areas and grounds at the track, maybe install lighting for night races, probably add more video boards, and they spoke once about spending $10 million for information boards. Pence officially signed the bill earlier this month.
But unlike traditional loans where the borrower repays the money, with interest, the speedway is not required to ever directly pay back its loan, unless the track is sold.
Instead, future increases in state sales and income tax revenue recorded within the "motorsports improvement district" of the track will be credited against the debt, along with a new ticket fee that's expected to raise $1 million a year.
Racegoers will likely see the charge starting in 2014 and will have to cough up an extra 6 percent on tickets worth $150 or more, 3 percent on tickets priced between $100 and 150 and 2 percent on tickets costing less than $100.
Despite the loan's having the whiff of a "bailout," which Pence repeatedly opposed as a member of Congress, he has embraced the speedway loan plan.
"I believe it represents a careful, careful calibration of the interests of economic development, supporting a vital industry of the state of Indiana and it does so in a way that puts taxpayers first," Pence said during the ceremonial bill signing. "Motorsports has a rich history and an even brighter future in the state of Indiana."
"Let's just put it bluntly: Indiana is today and it will remain the motorsports capital of the world," he said.
The new law also creates a $5 million revolving loan fund to support other motorsports businesses in the state.

With the NFL lockout still in full-force, we continue our look at some alternatives of the past that could have been a useful distraction while the NFL owners and players settle their dispute. We continue today with the Detroit Fury of the Arena Football League.
The Arena Football League was absent from the Detroit area after the Detroit Drive left for Massachusetts in 1993 until the Detroit Fury made their debut in 2001. The Mike Ilitch-owned Drive were successful by any account, a feat the Palace Sport and Entertainment group sought to replicate. The Fury nickname was unveiled in January 2000 to much excitment. PS&E president Tom Wilson was quoted as saying, "Today, its just a name, tomorrow it will represent an emotional connection in the minds of football enthusiasts. Ultimately, football is a game of fury."
For a while it looked like that kind of enthusiasm would turn into something tangible. The Fury finished their inaugural season with a 7-7 record and a playoff berth. Crowds didn't fill the Palace of Auburn Hills but they did manage to average over 9,000 fans during the 2001 season. Unfortunately, the Fury never built upon what appeared to be a decent beginning for the franchise. The 2002 edition of the Detroit Fury managed just one win while losing 13 games and drew less than 6,700 fans to the average home game.
The team was able to rise from a disastrous 2002 season to put together another .500 season in 2003, good enough for the second playoff berth in franchise history. This time the Fury were able to get out of the first round. They defeated the Grand Rapids Rampage in a see-saw affair before being knocked out by the Tampa Bay Storm, the former nemesis of the defunct Detroit Drive. The team put together a 5-11 season in their fourth and final year of existence. A year-long search had been conducted in hopes of finding an owner to keep the Fury in Detroit but none was found. The Indiana Firebirds and Carolina Cobras also ceased operations that year.
Jamie Samuelsen is a familiar name to those that know the Detroit sports radio scene. He was the voice of the Fury on WDFN from 2001 to 2003 and I had a chance to ask Jamie a few questions and he was kind enough to answer them:
Zac Snyder: The Detroit Drive was an amazingly successful franchise while the Detroit Fury struggled for much of their existence. Was it a case of right place-right time for the Drive and wrong place-wrong time for the Fury or was it something more than that?
Jamie Samuelsen: I'll admit that I didn't live in Detroit when the Drive were so popular, so it's hard for me to compare. The Fury were up against two factors during their brief existence.
A) The Red Wings were an annual Stanley Cup contender and the Pistons were just going through their renaissance and becoming a contender again with the emergence of Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace and Richard Hamilton. The Fury had no shot to compete in the sports market with a playoff team. There was one Fury game in 2003 that went directly against a Pistons playoff game in Philadelphia. When the Fury game ended, they put the Pistons game on the big screen at the Palace and we opted to cancel the radio post game show for the Fury because there was so little interest in it. It was certainly the right choice, but it was pretty telling.
B) The AFL was going through a lot of changes. The first year of the Fury was supposed to be 2000, but the season was canceled because of a labor situation. The second year started in the early spring. The fourth year started right after the NFL season ended hoping to capitalize on the popularity of football and hoping to pick up NFL fans who might be looking for a football alternative. There was no consistency to the seasons. And there was no consistency to the game times. The Fury played games on Thursday nights, Friday nights, Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons. You never really knew when they were playing.
ZS: With the NFL lockout in full force, do you think football fans would be diverting their attention to a team like the Fury if arena football still existed in the Detroit area?
JS: I don't think so. In traveling around to different AFL cities with the team, I found that with few exceptions – the league flourished in non-NFL cities like Grand Rapids more than it did in NFL cities. I had the chance to call games in Dallas, Denver and Buffalo and the crowds there were no better than they were for the Fury. The only two real exceptions were Tampa Bay and Arizona which both had long traditions of good AFL football with competitive teams and players who'd been around for such a long period of time that they had become fan favorites.
ZS: What is your favorite Detroit Fury memory?
JS: There were two big memories for me.
First was the chance to work with Mouse Davis who was the head coach and de facto head of player personnel for the first two years. I'm not sure I've ever worked with a nicer more interesting guy than Mouse. Here's a guy who basically invented Arena Football and had coached at every level of football for years and years. This was his last head coaching job, but he brought the same passion and interest and sense of humor that he brought to every job he held. It was an honor to spend time with him and just talk football with him. I'll always treasure that relationship in my career.
After the second year under Mouse, the coaching staff was fired and the Fury hired Al Luginbill and his son Tom (now an ESPN college football and recruiting analyst). The Luginbills overhauled the roster and turned the team back into a contender. The team made the playoffs in 2003 and won an epic, come-from-behind game at Grand Rapids with a touchdown at the very end. They lost the following week in Tampa Bay, but the 55-54 win over Grand Rapids was easily the landmark win in the brief four-year history of the Fury.
ZS: Is there anything else you would like to add about the Detroit Fury or your time as an arena football broadcaster?
JS: It was one of the great experiences of my life. The Arena League is a lot like minor league baseball. There were a lot of long bus trips. There were a lot of questionable hotels. There were great stories of just what goes on with a professional sports team in what essentially is a minor league. The team was full of guys who either had their shot in the NFL (former Lion Kevin Scott) or who would get their shot in the NFL (R-Kal Truluk played for the Chiefs) or who would never, ever get their shot in the NFL, but loved football and didn't know what else to do with themselves. But these guys were all competitors. I can't imagine that the wins were any sweeter or the losses were any more bitter just because another league played a different or higher brand of football.

New bikes
05 October 2010 11:27
BMW's leviathan six-cylinder tourer is set to be the world's most advanced, most luxurious and most powerful tourer.
The K1600GT and K1600GTL are being revealed this week at the Intermot Show in Cologne, and feature some of the most advanced technology seen on two wheels – not to mention the inline six-cylinder engine at the heart of both bikes.
The new engine trades on BMW's expertise and reputation for building six-cylinder car motors, but the firm has gone to great effort to make it light and compact.

Hmmmm, interesting comments.
Suzuki introduced a prototype 6 cylinder in 2005, chain drive, nothing much else too special and then dropped it like a hot potato.
N.A Warranty? hmm, the American and the Canadian warranty are not the same.
Having been fortunate enough to ride every model that BMW motorcyle has built in the last 4 years, I find the prospect of a touring motorcycle with 130 foot-punds of torque extememly exciting. Our group is not comprised of street runners and posers. We will get on our bikes and pound off 2,000 miles in a weekend and think nothing of it and be back at work Monday morning.
So again, for the type of riding we do, we are looking forward to getting in the saddle of the new K1600GTL or the K1600GT.
The electronic throttle on the S1000RR is out of this world, I thought that my heart was going to pound right out of my chest. The thought of the ride-by-wire throttle and the torque on the K1600GT/L is going to keep me awake at nights until I park my butt on one of these for a weekend.
If it proves to be a dog, then so be it, but I for one am excited about this one and will make my final judgement AFTER riding it.

Bikes are bigger and more powerful every year, although i will be the screaming luddite in the corner and ask if all this technology makes the bike more fun. If i wanted a car a would buy one.
06 October 2010 09:16
Light and compact ??
Its absolutely going to kill anything it falls on......
they should put that engine in a small sports car !
06 October 2010 02:13
As much as I
like BMWs for what they are and can do, I've had big problems with BMW N.A. warranty, legally and we have absolute crap dealers within a 250 mile radius who do not stock anything other than plugs and oil filters. It's a crying shame because I'll bet this 1600 is absolutely going to kill everything else in it's class in comfort and performance. When they work, they work damn fine. When they don't work....I'm screwed.
05 October 2010 17:15
K1600 - Did suzuki go there first?
I am truely impressed by BMW's efforts. Enough to say that i would prob consider one, but not yet.
To think Suzuki built the Stratosphere some time ago but then scrapped it....or did they? Maybe BMW cashed in on their concept.
Honda were aiming for a similar concept some time ago i think (?) too.
But again, it seems the Euro manufacturers are going to beat the Big jap four with new bikes (Multistrada or S1000rr for example ) 2 years in a row. BUT, this is unless the new ZX10rr doesnt deliver in the sports bike segment.
I love this time of year when the new machines are breaking cover proper

Course Info
The Events
Iceman attracts competitive cyclists from 32 states including Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and as well as Ontario, Canada. Their ability levels vary from first time racers to seasoned professionals. Ages range from 3 years to 82 years of age.
The Meijer Slush Cup offers beginning riders with a half frozen version of the Iceman. Approximately 8 miles long, the Slush Cup starts at Timber Ridge, follows the Vasa 10K ski trail, and then merges with the Iceman trail before winding up back at Timber Ridge.
The Meijer Sno-Cone is geared for riders under twelve who want to discover the thrill of bike racing. Each participant receives a medal, number plate, and stickers.
Iceman Course
Kalkaska Middle School Parking
Starting at the Kalkaska Middle School, the Iceman trail consists of dirt roads, two tracks (the majority of the course), abandoned railroad beds, and the world famous Vasa Nordic ski trail. Approximately 27 miles long, the course crosses only one paved road (Williamsburg Rd. at mile 16) as it winds through the breath taking terrain of the Pere Marquette State Forest in Northwestern Lower Michigan. Course highlights include "Steve's Secret", "Lombard's Luge," "Cassle Cliffs," and "Ice Breaker" (the last hill to climb). The finish line at Timber Ridge, just east of Traverse City, will be a welcome sight to all Icemen and Icewomen. The course can be best described as a road race on dirt.
Grand Traverse Cycle is once again sponsoring the Feed Stations! Watch for their catchy signs on the course as you approach the three designated feed stations. The Ice House, Oasis, and Ice Station Zebra are located at about six, sixteen and twenty-two miles into the course, respectively. Volunteer crews will be serving up loads of Gatorade, cookies, fruit, and water for all!
Plans are underway to make the Oasis at Williamsburg Rd. a real happening with its own announcer and PA so the entire crowd can hear who's made it that far.
Slush Cup riders will use the last Iceman feed station, Ice Station Zebra, located on the Vasa Trail.
As always, there will be a large recovery center at the finish line.
Race staff and volunteers spend a whole day cleaning up the trail after the big race. We understand that there is bound to be stuff left on the trail, but recently it has gotten a bit out of hand. If one out of four racers use an energy gel, and 1/2 of those drop the wrapper, that's 250 packs of slimey, guey, sticky, and covered with ants and dirt (why do you think they named it that way) foil wrappers that have to be picked up afterwards. That's almost 10 wrappers per mile!
Don't ruin a pristine forest, take the two seconds to put the gel pack back in your pocket so it can be properly disposed once your adventure is finished.

Sick or Tired? You Need Rest, Not a Workout
While I haven't had any kind of significant illness for several years now, I suppose it was just a matter of time before I did get sick again.
Whether it's from relocating to a totally different climate at a higher altitude, or being in a large population area, I managed to catch some kind of bug.
While a constantly running nose could have been just an allergy thing, the swollen lymph nodes on my neck confirmed that I had some sort of infection, probably sinus related. Antibiotics, rest, and fluids were the obvious solution offered by my doctor, but the "rest" portion was a bit frustrating.
During the last month I've been working on tracking performance metrics and tinkering with my workout regimen. The last thing I wanted to do was put the project on hold. Obviously, I could tell that my body was fighting off some kind of illness, but on the whole I didn't feel all that bad.
Now, of course I did the prudent thing and stopped training for the week. And, instead of continuing to stay up later and working on articles or reading, I went to bed extra early. Big deal, that is what most people would do, wouldn't they? Perhaps not. I know quite a few runners or gym nuts who would have a hard time missing a workout just because they have a runny nose.
When you are sick or sleep-deprived, you need to rest. The last thing your body needs is further stress brought on by an exercise workout.
The repair of muscle following the tissue damage brought on by exercise is primarily an immune response. The inflammation that leads macrophages to the site of the damage operates in much the same way as when you are sick. It is highly counter-productive to further tax your immune system with muscle regeneration when it should be seeking out harmful viruses and bacteria.
Further, particularly strenuous bouts of exercise promote the release of cortisol, as does dysregulated sleep patterns. While usually a pretty useful hormone (stimulates glucose release from the liver to stabilize blood sugar) it also suppresses your immune system, a mechanism which is for obvious reasons quite problematic. Cortisol accomplishes this by "muting" the action of white blood cells and preventing the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.
Without inflammation, proper muscle regeneration will be seriously delayed. In general, sleeplessness correlates with changes in the immune response and the pattern of hormonal secretion of compounds like cortisol, but also of human growth hormone. Most of your growth hormone is released during deep delta wave sleep, and it's quite essential in the process of tissue repair and growth.
Sleep-deprivation will also dull your senses and reduce your physical capabilities, increasing the chance of accidental injury during exercise.
Lack of sleep is linked causally to impairment of critical cognitive, metabolic, immunologic and restorative physiologic processes. Sleeplessness accounts for impaired perception, difficulties in keeping concentration, vision disturbances, as well as slower reactions. This is not the condition you want to be in while negotiating a tricky woodland trail.
Further, your performance in general is likely to be reduced, and it will be difficult to know the cause for your lower exercise output. Was it because you were already fatigued? Did the exertion hurt more because you're already feeling achy? Purposeful training should involve the gathering of observations about your output and your overall state.
Significant lack of sleep will alter not only your levels of muscle glycogen, but also your subjective perception of effort. If you can't adequately determine whether or not your performance is improving, your training will be less than effective.
Won't my body start detraining and atrophying if I don't exercise?
Growing muscle takes a lot of effort and energy, and your body will not shed it lightly unless under extreme duress, like starvation. In fact, during a week off you still might find that you increase your numbers on lifts or exercises once you get back to your training. The time off could have been just enough for your muscles to fully repair and prepare you for your next session. I know that this was the case for me during this recent illness.
So, the moral of the story is to be smart and just take it easy when you're tired or under the weather. This is exercise were talking about, not battlefield or life-threatening situations. Give your body a break and let it repair itself.

just wait until you have children! I ended up with Shingles!
Mark Cancellieri says:
I totally agree with you on the importance of sleep, which is why I made it my first experiment on my new Experimental Living blog:
You wouldn't believe the difference that it has had on my energy levels, happiness, and motivation. I highly recommend trying a sleep experiment to improve sleep habits to anyone feeling run down and tired.
During my research, I also found out about quite a few negative consequences to sleep deprivation that were surprising to me (e.g. higher risk of colon cancer!). Check out the link for more info.
Alissa Haberfeld says:
Nice article today. I am just returning from a week off and being sick. I used to freak out if I didn't get a workout in, but now its not a big deal and I'm seeing bigger gains with more rest days
David Csonka says:
Oi Kristin, my dad had a recent bout of shingles. Not fun! And, glad you're feeling better too Alissa!
Ramon says:
Yes, wait until you have children! I have a 4- and a 1-yr old and they are going to give you a workout! The only time I can exercise is when everyone is still in bed which is around 5 in the morning. The catch there is if the kids go to bed early the previous night, if not, its going to be a hit-or-miss kinda thing for me in the morning. Hard but I try to make the most out of it.
David Csonka says:
I've thought about that. The year of no sleep that most new parents seem to experience is honestly quite frightening to me!
Anonymous User says:
We caught it early so it wasn't so bad. Let me know that I needed rest too..(When claire was an infant)
Ed says:
I apply the old adage that if the illness is above my neck, I run, but if it is below, I don't. So a head-cold or allergies won't stop me, and in fact I feel better afterwards as a run tends to clear things up.
If in my lungs though or something else entirely (stomach virus, etc) then I lay off. I won't run with a fever either.
David Csonka says:
That's a neat saying Ed, good one to remember.

Twitter Dallas nurse Amber Vinson's blood tested negative for Ebola virus just nine days after she was first diagnosed and her fellow nurse, Nina Pham, is now in good condition. Infected when they treated Thomas Eric Duncan, the nurses have seemingly fared better than most Ebola patients. Is that thanks to early treatment, did the two nurses just get a smaller dose of the virus to start with, or are there other factors? Experts say it's almost impossible to know. "It could be related to a number of things including the fact that these patients were diagnosed in the U.S. and treatment was presumably initiated quickly," Thomas Geisbert, an expert on infectious diseases and Ebola treatment at the University of Texas Medical Branch told NBC News.

Things you should know about me:
1. I have the kind of friendships where we text about poo.
And, er, that's it really.
I was sitting at my desk at lunchtime and decided to ask how a friend is; a common Billygean-thought to have; I once came out on a work personality test as 'incredibly communicative', whatever that means. Most people were at their desks, tapping away, eating sandwiches. Normal Monday stuff.
She replied immediately. "Oh, hello," said her text. "I'm just having a poo actually!"
It made me laugh, and as I replied, the iMessage function on my phone stopped working. "Message not delivered," it said. So I hovered my finger over my text and pressed the button where "send as text message" used to be. Except, the new update had bloody changed everything, and I had accidentally pressed my friend's text, not my own. Another thing you need to know about me is I am always trying to do everything impossibly quickly.
So instead the button I pressed was a button I have specially selected to be on my phone in its settings, mostly so that it can read my novel to me (the novel is soon to be out to publishers and the second one is WELL underway, thank you for asking, and understanding my blog silence as my books use up my creative juices), which is a "speak" function.
You can guess what happened next.
To the COMPLETELY SILENT office, Siri – the iPhone's speaking function – announced: "oh hello, I'm just having a poo actually!" in an awful, automated, surprisingly LOUD voice.
Everybody ignored me, as it goes. I think they were traumatised/didn't want to encouraged weird automated bowel announcements.
But I am pretty sure nobody forgot it.
