You know the Geek Squad, right? Those admittedly nerdy guys and dolls in Best Buys 'round the country that try to fix your computer? Well, they've heard many of the complaints lobbied against them like slow turn around time and not-as-high-quality-as-it-could-be service. (Brian Lam, our fine leader, had a few friends screwed by the Geek Squad recently. We're talking lost digital photos, completely reinstalling Windows when that wasn't requested, etc.)
They've just opened a comically large warehouse just outside Louisville, Kentucky, aka the capital of the world, in order to redress these issues. For a photo tour of the facility, along with some running social commentary inspired by listening to right wing talk radio, jump for joy. Did I mention that Fabio was there?
I was dragged from my big, huge mansion in Manhattan to Louisville to cover this thing. The day opened with a Geek Squad helicopter majestically floating above the local square. Why? I don't know.
Then there was a press conference with the founder of Geek Squad, the mayor of Louisville and Fabio. Yeah, that Fabio.
The news here was that Geek Squad is teaming up with the city to bring Wi-Fi to it. Of course, details of the deal weren't discussed in the slightest. Who needs details?
The big daddy, however, was the huge ass facility Geek Squad built. I've got a few pics for your amusement.
In essence, the facility was constructed to, as I said earlier, redress quality assurance issues that plagued Geek Squad in the past. Once completely up and running, the facility should be able to turn out faulty computers within three days. That is, send it in on Monday, you'll have it back on Thursday. It's just a matter of people being willing to pay more for shipping charges; the computer will likely be fixed within the same day that it arrives at the warehouse. The new facility will be big on data recovery, too. They're thinking of constructing a clean room to really get customer's data back from the dead.
They take that whole "Geek" thing seriously.
Later today, I'll have an interview with Fabio up. It turns out he's a pretty big nerd and loves his electronics. Look, him soldering a motherboard!
Keep your eyes peeled. I asked all the tough questions.

4 Best Alternative to Male Supplement Pill
Almost every man at one time hopes he has a bigger penis.
There are many products out there that take advantage of this, claiming to deliver huge and almost miraculous results. The most productive is the extra pill for men.
You can actually increase your penis size by some of these methods, but not everyone is comfortable taking the pills they buy from the internet. Fortunately, there are many other ways to do it.
Read on for an effective way to get bigger without taking pills.
How to add inches without adding pills
Vacuum pump
There are a variety of pumps on the market, designed to increase penis size by creating a vacuum around it.
They are basically plastic cylinders, which are placed around the penis. As the air is pulled out of them, blood spreads to the area, fully raising it. It extends the tissue so that its capacity to hold blood increases.
However, there is a potential risk of using this pump. During pumping can result in tissue or arteries, care should always be taken at all times. The effect is known to be short-term, so pumping needs to be done on a regular basis. This makes it a labor-intensive method.
The penile extender is a tool that helps the penis stretch to increase its length. They consist of two rings, one of which fits around the base of the penis while the other fits around the head, and two adjustable bars between the two.
They are used to gradually stretch the penis over time without using vacuum aids.
There are ways to increase penis size without using any strange medical or equipment treatments. Penis enlargement exercises.
This technique is known as jelqing and comes from the Middle East. To do the exercises, lubricate the penis and grip with your thumb and forefinger. From the base until just before the gland, move your hand to the penis in a milking motion. This will push the blood into the penis.
Exercises like this are said to increase penis size and erection quality by pushing blood into the shaft.
Penis Enhancement Surgery
If you are looking for a more permanent solution in one procedure, you can get a surgical penis extension.
This usually involves a transplant of dermal fat, taken from the buttock area and placed under the skin of the penis. For those who have excess skin covering the penis, the pubic spill is more appropriate.
This procedure is very popular in Germany, where 1 in 5 penis enlargement surgeries occur.
For long-term results without surgery, you can also choose an injection. This method uses FDA approved dermal fillers to increase penis size.
Male enhancement is a step toward becoming a much better sexual partner, but there is no point in having the right equipment if you do not know what to do with it. We recommend that you do some research and see other ways to improve your game as well.

Brentwood, Tenn. – On Sunday, the Ohio Valley Conference selected Tennessee State's Jamin Godfrey and Samquan Evans as OVC Specialist and Defensive Player of the Week, respectively, for their roles in TSU's, 41-21, win at Tennessee Tech on Saturday night.
For Godfrey, he connected on two field goals and added four extra points against the Golden Eagles. The senior nailed a 39-yarder to account for the only scoring of the second quarter and then added a 22-yarder midway through the third quarter to increase TSU's advantage to 20-7. His lone miss on the night was a 52-yard attempt at the end of the first half.
Godfrey also successfully kicked and recovered an onside kick for Tennessee State in the second half.
Godfrey is now just two points away from fourth place on TSU's career scoring list and he currently ranks third nationally in field goals made per game (2.3).
Evans, meanwhile, led the Tennessee State defense as the Tigers became the first OVC team to improve to 1-0 in conference play. The junior had a career-high eight tackles, including 2.5 tackles-for-loss (for 18 yards), 1.5 sacks (for 10 yards) and a forced fumble.
Evans is now second on the team in tackles for Big Blue with 20. His two sacks also only trail Anthony Bass for the team lead.
Godfrey, Evans and the rest of the Tigers will next take the field on Sept. 28 for a matchup with Central State in the Gateway Classic in St. Louis, Mo.

Slumping Votto homers, Reds beat Dodgers 3-2
Send a link to a friend
[September 07, 2013]
(AP) -- Joey Votto emerged from his deep slump when the Reds really needed him.
Votto singled and hit a two-run homer on Friday night, leading Cincinnati to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers that kept its momentum going in the NL Central race.
The 2010 NL MVP has been having a tough time, watching his batting average fall to .300 after he led the league at .361 on May 24. The Reds got a run in the fourth when Votto ended his 0-for-13 slump with a single off Stephen Fife, Jay Bruce singled and Ryan Ludwick grounded into a double play.
Votto hit a two-run homer -- his 22nd -- off J.P. Howell (2-1) in the fifth inning for a 3-2 lead.
"This is one game," Votto said. "You're only as good as your last at-bat."
His last at-bat on Friday? The decisive homer.
"Joey coming through was a big thing for us," said Mike Leake, who went 7 2-3 innings. "When you're in a slump, it's tough -- not that his was a big one. I'm glad for him."
Manager Dusty Baker asked Votto if he wanted a day off Friday to regroup. Votto decided to play and broke out.
"It started with the base hit up the middle," Baker said. "You guys know the stats. I knew he was 0-for-something. He came through at the right time. You can't hold a good man down for long."
While the Reds were relieved, the Dodgers got another concern for their pitching staff. The NL West leaders lost Chris Capuano to a mild groin strain in the second inning, when he grimaced on a pitch to Zack Cozart. Already this week, the Dodgers had to push Hyun-Jin Ryu back from a scheduled start because of a sore back.
"It is something I've had before but I've been able to keep it at bay," Capuano said. "I just felt it grab on a pitch to Cozart. I didn't hear it pop or anything. I hope it's a mild strain. I have to wait to see how it feels tomorrow. I've felt great the last couple of games."
Leake (12-6) emerged from his recent slump, helping the Reds get their fourth win in their last five games. He allowed five hits, including Hanley Ramirez's two-run homer.
Aroldis Chapman, pitching for the fourth day in a row, fanned three in the ninth for his 35th save in 40 chances. It was only the eighth time in his career that the hard-throwing lefty went four days in a row.
[to top of second column]
"We know down the stretch we're going to play a lot of close games," Baker said. "We know down the stretch our closer is going to have to go multiple games."
The third-place Reds kept their momentum going from a successful series against the St. Louis Cardinals that tightened the NL Central race. The Pirates, Cardinals and Reds are all in good position to reach the playoffs -- one as the division champ, the other two as wild cards.
Los Angeles has taken control of the West by going 36-10 since the All-Star break. The Dodgers want to get the NL's top rotation fully healthy for the playoffs.
Capuano has never lost at Great American Ball Park, going 3-0 in eight games. The groin strain prevented him from trying to add to the total.
The left-hander has been on the disabled list twice this season. He was sidelined from April 17 to May 6 with a strained left calf and from May 30 to June 19 with a strained left shoulder.
Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips was in the lineup a day after he left a game because of a sore left thigh. He singled in the eighth off Paco Rodriguez and was replaced by Billy Hamilton, who stole second, leaving him 3 for 3 in attempts since his promotion. Rodriguez walked the bases loaded, but Brian Wilson got Ryan Ludwick to line into a double play as he escaped the threat.
Right fielder Yasiel Puig was back for the Dodgers after a sore right knee limited him to pinch-hitting status the last two games. He had an infield single.
NOTES: C Devin Mesoraco was back in the Reds' starting lineup. He has been limited lately by a sore left hamstring. ... Dodgers RHP Zack Greinke (14-3) tries to win his seventh straight start on Saturday. The Reds go with Mat Latos (14-5), who is coming off a complete-game, 7-2 win over St. Louis. ... The Reds will unveil a bronze statue outside Great American Ball Park honoring Hall of Fame second baseman Joe Morgan before Saturday's game. Members of the Big Red Machine, including Pete Rose, were introduced on the field following Friday's game. Rose, who is banned for gambling, got permission from Major League Baseball to appear on the field.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – In a match that it could not afford to lose, the King University women's soccer team used a first half offensive explosion to build an insurmountable lead to defeat Mount Olive College 5-1 and earn a bid to the Conference Carolinas Tournament.
The match between Mount Olive and King became a battle for the final spot in the conference tournament field, with the Trojans needing a win to advance while King could extend its season with a win or a tie. With the win, the Tornado clinched the No. 8 seed in the tournament will travel to face top-seeded Lees-McRae College on Monday at 7:00 p.m.
Just 25 seconds into the match, the Rayna Spears fired a shot that was saved by Mount Olive goalkeeper Stephanie McCoy. It would be an omen of things to come, as the Tornado would place half of its 18 shots on goal en route to its most productive offensive output in the Division II era.
Spears got on the board first, scoring in the seventh minute off a corner kick from Lindsay Curtis. Just nine minutes later, Shalisa Barnett added her second goal of the season on a free kick from 25 yards away that she perfectly placed just out of the goalkeeper's reach and into the top of the net.
Rachel Thorpe, the Tornado's most prolific goal-scorer, scored in the 28th minute on what may have been King's best-looking goal of the season. Keely Easterling was 20 yards to the King side of the field when she turned and played a ball to Paula Doran that hugged the line and slipped just past a defender. Doran angled toward the left post, then played a cross to Thorpe on the right side of the box that she struck from 12 yards away and found the left side of the net to give the Tornado a seemingly insurmountable 3-1 advantage in the first half. It was Thorpe's 12th goal of the season, giving her the most by a Tornado player since Morgan Shelton's 14 goals in the 2011 season.
After the Trojans inched closer with a goal early in the second half, one of King's unsung heroes gave the Tornado a three-goal advantage once again. Senior defender Bekah Ramstack, playing her final home match, scored her first career goal to set off a wild celebration on the Tornado sideline. Lindsay Curtis played a free kick into the box from 20 yards away that deflected off a handful of players before senior Devon Shanklin saved it from going out of bounds. Ramstack collected the ball from three yards away and finished to push the advantage to 4-1.
In the 77th minute, Cassie Garland's second goal of the season made the advantage 5-1. Garland scored from just in front of the goal after she was given a perfect touch pass from Spears.
In all, five different Tornado players scored goals, another five were credited with assists, and goalkeeper Nicole Dagher made four saves.

Could zombies be making a comeback in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare?
Microsoft are releasing a new Xbox One game bundle for the upcoming Call of Duty game, and Gaming Bolt notes a small, almost unnoticeable "crossed tally" markings near the right analog stick.
This is marking is familiar tho those who play the Zombies game mode from earlier Treyarch produced Call of Duty games like World at War, Black Ops, and Black Ops 2.
Although Advanced Warfare is produced by Sledgehammer Games and not Treyarch, it could be that Sledgehammer Games are continuing the popular Zombies game mode.
Activision and Sledgehammer have not announced anything yet, so it remains merely speculation at this stage.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and the PC on November 4, 2014.
See a related AP article below.
'Advanced Warfare' Jumps Past Predecessors
FOSTER CITY, Calif. (AP) — It feels like a well-armed Christmas morning at Sledgehammer Games.
Michael Condrey and Glen Schofield, co-founders of the video game studio responsible for the next "Call of Duty" installment, are excitedly unwrapping virtual goodies in the chummy meeting room that connects their offices: a pistol with a polycarbonate grip! a rifle equipped with a ballistics computer! A leather captain's cap!
"You can end up with something like 22 billion combinations," Condrey told The Associated Press recently while zealously swapping the gear and guns on his on-screen avatar. "It's kind of an outlandish number, but it's not really about the number. It's just that it's fun to you. You can be one of 22 billion. You can finally, really customize your character in 'Call of Duty.'"
"It took him three weeks to calculate that," joked Schofield, the Oscar Madison to Condrey's Felix Unger.
As players snipe opponents and meet goals in multiplayer match-ups, they could end up with three different pieces of such loot each round. While virtual booty is hardly an original idea in gaming, Condrey and Schofield expect their new swag system to make a big impact on "Call of Duty," where even subtle changes can shift how the game is played by millions online.
"We call it supply drop," said Condrey. "It provides you with thousands of rewards for time played and accomplishments for your play style — more than 350 weapon variants, thousands of pieces of unique character gear and consumable one-off rewards like extra perks and score-streaks."
The more customizable virtual army is one of several updates coming to the multiplayer mode of "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare," the latest installment of Activision Blizzard's wildly successful shoot-'em-up franchise. "Advanced Warfare," scheduled for release Nov. 4, is setting the 10-year-old military series' sights squarely on the future.
The single-player campaign kicks off in 2054 with a global terrorist attack on several nuclear reactors. The raid leads to the rise of massive private military companies, such as Atlas Corp., a fictional outfit armed with futuristic war toys like walking tanks that's led by the power-hungry Jonathan Irons. He's portrayed in a voice- and motion-capture performance by Kevin Spacey.
The high-tech elements extend to the game's multiplayer matches, the addictive mode where "Call of Duty" players spend most of their time. "Advanced Warfare" gamers will each be outfitted with a customizable exoskeleton suit that enables them to quickly dodge incoming fire, create makeshift shields, boost into the air and slam down on enemies.
It's a giant leap from the traditional and realistic run-and-gun movement of past "Call of Duty" chapters.
"It changes the way we designed the maps," said Schofield. "We've got verticality now. I think for people who've been playing 'Call of Duty' for 10 years and are used to playing a certain way, they're going to have to learn a new way to play. It changes your tactics and the speed of the game. You can get up onto roofs and much taller places now."
Condrey and Schofield, who formed Sledgehammer in 2009, started tinkering on "Advanced Warfare" three years ago, after shelving a third-person "Call of Duty" title and finishing work on "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3."
"At the time, (Activision) said to take some chances, and if we go too far, they'll tell us — and we did," said Condrey, who previously worked with Schofield on the "Dead Space" sci-fi series at Electronic Arts Inc. "We took some chances, and a few times they told us we took it too far. There was a desire from Activision to innovate in a big way. This isn't your same old 'Call of Duty.'"
"Advanced Warfare" is poised to be a pivotal test for the aging "Call of Duty" franchise after 2013's "Ghosts" sold less than 2012's "Black Ops II" at launch. There also are a few newcomers to the shooter genre this year, including Activision's "Destiny" from Bungie and EA's "Titanfall" from Respawn Entertainment — a game that similarly features players being propelled through the air.
The reaction to the "Call of Duty" updates was mixed Monday after Condrey and Schofield unveiled the game's multiplayer mode during a presentation broadcast live from Gamescom, the gaming industry trade show in Cologne, Germany. Despite the mocking title "Titanfall 2" becoming popular in Twitter discussions, Activision's stock closed slightly higher at 1.15 percent.
Ludwig Kietzmann of the gaming blog Joystiq praised the changes, noting "the move to the future has divorced the game from some of today's real-world violence, dressing soldiers in unrecognizable power armor and granting them laser guns that seem too fun to be true." He added it "strengthens and draws focus to 'Call of Duty's' standing as a multiplayer game."

Injuries are frustrating. Infuriating if you allow them to be. Especially when you can't figure out what is injured. (in my case, I still don't know if it is the knot in my calf or SI joint subluxation)
But there is a question that begs to be asked: Why do I keep getting injured? In the last year, I've been dealing with an injury around 50% of the time (various injuries - twice on the left side of my body, now on the right). That just can't be optimal for training.
Something needs to change. The first thing I'm learning from my coach is that I need to enter each running session uninjured and ready to work hard.
My old philosophy was end each session barely able to hobble home. The obvious problem was the more weeks I trained, the more wore down I became.
Last week I only ran twice and I just worked on technique. I have been reading Julian Goater's "The Art of Running Faster" and have focussed on:
-shifting my weight forward
- increasing my cadence
- jumping rope
- running up sand dunes
All of these things will land you on the front of your feet.
And did you ever think about how many steps you take a minute? Turns out the top 150 finishers at one New York Marathon all ran somewhere between 184 and 188 steps per minute.
On one of my runs last week, I would run 1 minute at marathon pace and ran between 183 and 187 steps, but this was with focussing on a fast turnover. You should try it sometime. It is fun.
The schedule Ole has devised for me this coming week is in preparation for the Bandera 100k January 12th. And in taking my recovering leg into consideration
(I am also supposed to jump rope before and/or after most of my sessions)
Mon: recovery
Tues: 40-60 min at 4:20-4:45 min/km
Wed: 45-60 min at 4:20- 4:45 min/km focus on high cadence
Thurs: 20-22 km at 4:45-5:15 min/km
Fri: No training
Sat: 45 min at 4:30-5 min/km; 200 m x 6 at 36-40 sec 2 min. pause. (wow! that seems like a LONG pause)
Sun: 10k trail race (at Herlufsholm)
He also asked me to send him a video of myself running. SR took this today. That is Christian panting in the background (I think). Do I appear to be limping?

From magazine covers to tight haircuts to modeling to pantlessness, the fashion life of young Ms. Lena Dunham keeps getting curiouser and curiouser — and we're totally onboard. Take for instance this Twiggy-inspired look the millennial auteur put on for Entertainment Weekly's Entertainers of The Year issue. Looking a bit more Mad Men in her vintage-style dress and pumps than she does in that mesh shirt from the Girls season-two trailer, Dunham is sleek, chic, and downright glamourous. Obvs, this is a play on how very not glamourous her character, Hannah, is and how her show is leagues more advanced than the values of the mid '60s — but it doesn't mean we can't dig the heck out if it. We're very into the slick hair, contrasting nails, and the chance to see one of our lazy-fashion faves take it up a notch for a sec. A portent of things to come? We'll see. (EW)

This is a review sent in by VO customer, accomplished randonneur, and former racer. It's reprinted here unedited and in it's entirety. Thanks Mike!
by Michael Ross
"...she was a no-nonsense little donkey of a bike, but
rode easy and straight, not a drop of bad manners."
– Alec Burney, recently hit by a car in Philly, noted long-distance bicyclist, sage, and sooth-sayer...
Let me jump right to the conclusion: I have ridden the Velo Orange Campeur bike about 1500 miles at this point, and without hesitation I can say that I have never been on a better bike.
I am lucky enough to live in Washington, DC, and have access to Velo Orange World Headquarters whenever I can ride myself out to Annapolis, Maryland. Much to the horror of VO Staff, I make the pilgrimage often. I was at VO about a month ago when the Campeur showed up.
(Digression for bicyclists who care about democracy and quality of life in the USA: I can't bear driving out to VO, as driving, at its best, is so often a regrettable, forgettable exercise in brute utility, as it surely does not engage any great joy, or aesthetic pleasure...much less economic or ecological responsibility. I'm not anti-car, although I am anti-totalitarian transportation, and the car culture – including its many unjustified subsidies – counts as totalitarian despite recent advances made to improve transport options. To date, bicycle advocacy nationwide has only achieved the low-hanging fruit of infrastructure change. The real battles over sane transportation are just beginning...)
I didn't need a new bike; and I am not a consumer. I don't need a "new" anything to make up for excitement lacking in other areas of my life. I'm over that – I'll be 50 in December.
But I kept looking at the frame and fork closely, and couldn't help but think this bike was an improvement. And the price is unbeatable. Yes, I've ridden some great bikes, including many customs, race bikes and touring rigs, made from aluminum, titanium, plastic, and fancy steel with fancier stickers. But the Campeur stood out.
Depending on configuration, on which handlebars, wheels, shifters, crankset, cogs and derailer...it can carry you fast and long; or slow and steady, carrying a heavy load, front or rear. I've had heavy loads on both ends, on just the front end, and in large, fully loaded panniers in the rear. Frame geometry is not a subject for beginners, nor is "low-trail" philosophy, but if you are interested and informed you can look at the frame specifications and realize that this is an excellent, well chosen, set of compromises. The good news is frame geometry is not relevant at all if the bicycle performs well when ridden. Good frame geometry can be *felt* when ridden; it puts the rider at ease. The Campeur has not a drop of bad manners. Under any conditions. I hit 54mph in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania...and no wobble, no problems, no worries. The Campeur rides great, load or no-load, hands-on, or hands-free (at 30 mph it was totally comfortable riding no-hands.)
Some key Campeur points, in no privileged order:
*It looks good!! The tubes are narrow and elegant, although the down-tube is oversized. The gray paint job glimmers with small specks of color in the sun. The gray color is neutral enough that your color choice of bar tape, fenders, etc., will not clash with the frame. The paint itself is much higher quality that that seen on comparable bikes. The fork tips, rear dropouts, and fork crown are lugged; the head-tube and seat-tube have nice reinforcements – little details that look great (and are strong). The flat-crown fork and curving lower legs are a lyrical delight to look at! We live in era where the sheer volume and intensity of quotidian ugliness can lead a sensitive person to depression. Can you say Anywhere, USA? We spend our lives unavoidably in, or avoiding, such spaces. If you are going to use your bike as much as you should, you have to like looking at it. And it has to reward your looking at it by being interesting and elegant. Depreciate the aesthetic in this life at your own risk. Of course, the biggest compliment I can give VO is that they think beautiful form and extremely useful, long-lasting function are not enemies. Just look at their component and accessory choices. The Campeur is no exception.
*Relatedly, the geometry is such that there is no front wheel overlap with the pedals when making sharp turns, slowly, with the wheel turned at an acute angle. This may be amoot point out i the country, but in an urban environment sharp turns are sometimes necessary and unexpected, and no front wheel/pedal overlap is *good.*
*All of the sizes on the frame (BB, headset, seat-post, etc.) are standard! Hooray. You use your old (good) stuff. Or buy good new stuff, easily found.
*Note the low rack placement due to the on the correctly placed mounting eyelets! This is a necessity, not a luxury! It keeps the rack low, the load low, and maximizes the top-shelf use of the rear rack. You will be able to nicely mount the fenders to a variety of racks out there, especially VO constructeur-type racks.
*The rear hub takes a 135mm wheel easily. I use the VO cassette hub (bellisimo!). Say hello to easywheel changes. Say a big hello to a super strong, no-dish rear wheel, if you use an off-center rear rim; or a near dish-less rear wheel if you don't.
*There is a kick-stand plate. Yes! And long chainstays, so even big feet don't hit big rear panniers fully loaded.
*Big tires are easily fitted. I found I could fit 45mm tires easily with full fenders. [Chris' note: I think Mike has 40mm tires; will check]
*Fender attachments are threaded under the appropriate bridges at the bottom bracket, fork crown, and rear brake bridge. Yes! It makes the fender stronger, wobble less, and easier to mount and adjust for height. (As well as easier to silicone a wire on the inside if you use generator lights and use a wired tail-light. And you know you should...).
*The head tube is extended and reinforced. This is crucial. It takes away from the ugly look of a too-tall stem. And allows for a higher handlebar height, which is extremely important for comfort and control. Most folks ride bikes at least a size too small...
*There is a one-inch, "traditional" head-tube, for a "traditional" threaded stem. This is good. And the fork is *not* cut too-short, a common failing! Since VO makes the beautiful stem adapter for "thread-less" stems for threaded headsets, it affords lots of good options for the bar/stem interface. And, of course, I use the excellent and super long lasting VO cartridge headset...with split fork crown race....awesome...the headset rolls on and on like butt'ah.
(Digression #3: Is pencil use primarily for marking -- or for later erasure? Is the essential nature of fire to destroy and sterilize -- or to make a house warm and cozy as it crackles in the fireplace? Is the true nature of the acorn to grow into an oak tree? What if the acorn is picked up by a squirrel and stored for winter food? Did the squirrel mess with the Universe's Grand Plan? At the atomic level a bullet is mainly empty space...but if it's shot at you from the barrel of a gun, I'd duck. Is the bullet essentially hard, or hollow? Atom bombs, computers, and nuclear power depend on the latter theorization, however counterintuitive.
Add to these questions: Which is better -- the 1-inch threaded headset, or the 1 and 1/8 inch threadless? See my point? Leave your arrogance at home. The answer, here, across the board on all substantive matters of concern, even beyond bicycles, is: it depends...)
*The front fork has through-bolts for a low-rider front rack. Both ends of the bike have multiple rack eyelets. And a beautiful bolt-hole through the crown that is the right size. Put your headlight there...or a front rack to hold a handlebar bag.
*All the included bolts on the bike are stainless steel.
*Multiple full-sized pump placement possibilities. Do not take this lightly... (There is the traditional pump peg on the head-tube.)
*No squeal braking! The front fork has a flat crown...and I mention this as it may render the fork strong enough, resistant enough to flex, to render brake-use squeal-free. Maybe. Anyhow, what I do know is that unlike many competing brands of similarly tasked bicycles, this bike simply does not have any brake squeal, regardless of the pads used. I used three different kinds on the canilever brakes: salmon Kool Stops, black Shimanos, and black Swiss-stops. VO has wonderful noise-free brake pads which are a blessing if you have howling brakes (they do wear rims slightly faster, but nothing outrageous – about 7500 miles before the rim needs replacing), to gain a squeal-free ride...I have reviewed them in the past on the VO Blog.) The Campeur rides quietly even under extreme braking, front and rear, with standard, off-the-shelf, anybody-makes-em pads. HOOO-RAY!
*Customer Service matters! The folks at VO are nice. They are rational. They answer questions quickly. "I don't know" is part of their repertoire of responses. This is a strength, not a weakness. How refreshing in these days of know-it-all business enterprises. If you need help or if something goes awry you can count on them to help, not hinder. Contemporary life has enough headaches. Bureaucracy, not democracy, is what we all spend so much time navigating. It matters where you buy your bike, and bike stuff.
So: What are you waiting for? The Campeur is great bike and rides like a dream. Not like a donkey.
Reviewer background; or, who I think I am:
I am a completely biased reviewer of all things bicycle, at least when I get the chance to do so. I don't like stupid crap, especially if it's made to last one season or is over-priced. I do like progressive technological innovation. But so little stuff is progressive or innovative. Jobst Brandt is a straight-talking hero. I've been on the road for more than 25 years at this point, always averaging at least 10,000 miles a year, in many locations in the USA. I've traveled around a fair bit, and usually by bicycle. I raced on the road when younger, and was in some Pro/I/II races with Lance Armstrong, as I'm about 9 nine years older than him. I didn't use to mention this, but now that LA is a doper I finally admire him. Anyone who's ever had a beer to take the edge off, or had an aspirin, should do likewise. Although I must admit LA's palmares pales compared to Amish women who bicycle through the winter in skirts carrying groceries on mixtes. I dragged my child to school for many years on a bike...which must not have been so bad as she now has a boyfriend who works in a bike shop (I'm undecided on whether that's good or bad...I dislike 99 percent of bike shops. I'm not undecided on how much more I love her every day.) I like thinking about learning, education (which is much more than learning), biology (especially noncognitive evolutionary adaptation), the built environment, transportation, economic justice (or the lack of it), and high-fructose-corn-syrup addiction. I try to be involved in bike advocacy in my hometown of Washington, DC. I like destination rides to food, and noodling around urban environs with friends Ed and Mary, and buddy Lane. I have a beautiful, hot, big-brained, fun wife who tolerates me, and allows me to ride her around on a Da Vinci tandem. She also rides a Soma Saga, but that's only because the Campeur wasn't available at the time...

Rapids' video highlights, reaction to 1-1 draw vs. Real Espana in CCL match in Honduras
Colorado Rapids managed to escape from San Pedro Sula, Honduras, with a 1-1 tie Tuesday against Real Espana in CONCACAF Champions League group play, despite fielding a squad with several reserve players. The following are quotes provided by the Rapids' media department after the match:
Colorado Rapids Head Coach Gary Smith
On the match:
This is a very, very tough place. The journey yesterday felt like it went on for three days, not just one. I think the guys have put in an incredible shift and come away with what is an incredibly valuable point.
On the performance of players coming into the team:
The guys who started – Danny Earls, Mike Holody, Ross LaBauex, Andre Akpan, Joseph Nane – those guys, although they're starting to see a little bit more domestic action, the reality is a lot of their football is coming from the Open Cup, the Reserve League, and this is completely different. It's a wonderful experience for them, it's a really good atmosphere here tonight, against a very good team, and I think this could be an instrumental result in a group that's going to be very, very tight. So anything we can get away from home, I'm sure will serve us extremely well as we move forward. Of course, our home form is going to be vital, but to come away and to stay unbeaten in the group stages is a terrific achievement.
On the play of goalkeeper Steward Ceus:
I thought he was immense. He's a man-mountain who's starting to really show the sort of qualities that we all knew he had. He made two wonderful saves in the first period – everyone will probably forget about them because of the action towards the end. But they had a couple of breakaways that he stood strong, he got his body in the way, and he gave all the other guys a wonderful foundation to keep working. If you come to these places and you go behind, it's a long, long road back, and I thought he was just great in keeping us in the game in very important times.
Colorado Rapids midfielder Jeff Larentowicz
On leading the team:
I was happy to be able to score, I think that was a good way to try to lead by example. We had a young team in a very difficult place to play, difficult circumstance, and I think it was overall a good experience. We wish we could've held on to the league, but with the amount of pressure we absorbed it seemed like something was going to break and it did. But overall it's been a pretty positive experience for everyone.
On his scoring touch this season:
I feel good, I just feel like literally when I go out on the field I could score every game. It doesn't happen – there are plenty of games where I haven't scored – but I think it's just about being aggressive and trying to pick and choose the right spots to go forward.
On getting a goal right before halftime:
It's interesting because we had no idea how much time was left. We were fortunate to get that almost right on the stroke of halftime. I think that was really important because it seemed like as the first half went on and on, we were starting to absorb more pressure – they hit the crossbar. But for us to get that goal was good. In the second half, it became difficult, they pressed more guys forward, and in the circumstances, it's hot, humid, and guys are tired, it was tough. But we were happy overall.
On the team earning a point on the road:
I think it's good. If teams are going to come and play us at home, they're going to have a tough time. We feel like that's a place where we can win games. In a tournament situation like this, you want to be able to win your home games and get results on the road. Should we have won tonight? Maybe not, but to get a point out of it is good, and that sets us up to try to win games at home.
Colorado Rapids defender Mike Holody
On the atmosphere:
It was exciting. The crowd was really behind their team and it kind of made it a little bit hostile for us. The field and the conditions – it was pretty humid and the field was kind of thick – it made for a slower game. You could see it in us, on the ball we weren't quite as sharp as we normally are at home. But overall it was a pretty enjoyable game, I thought it was a good time to come out here and play in front of a good crowd that was into the game. I thought it was a decent result, actually.
On his comfort level in the defensive line:
That's my first real start, but I've played next to Scott [Palguta] and trained with him for, well, this is my third year now. I'm pretty comfortable with that relationship. It's kind of new playing with Kosuke [Kimura], but it was good. I felt comfortable right away, just kept it simple to start, and just kind of worked myself into the game.
On getting a point on the road:
I think we're happy with the point. The way it happened, maybe a little disappointed going up and then giving up the lead, but overall it sets us up well. Getting a point on the road in this competition is going to be huge, and as long as we can keep doing well at home and get three points in each of those games, that'll be perfect. This point could set us up pretty well, just to put us ahead of the rest of the teams.

The 69 Words You Can't Use at GM
As the WSJ reports today, GM will be fined $35 million — the maximum possible — and admit to breaking auto-safety laws, as part of a settlement with the U.S. government over its bungled recall of millions of cars with faulty ignition switches.
In legal documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as part of the settlement, we get an interesting look into GM's internal workings. The documents include a company presentation from 2008, explaining aspects of the recall process to engineers, including how to document faults and engineering issues.
But one slide slide, listedwords that should never be used in a company memo. Those words include: Hindenburg, Kevorkianesque, Titanic, apocalyptic, Cobain, genocide, rolling sarcophagus.
More on this after the jump…

Being involved in an adverse medical event can be a devastating experience for care providers.
We come to work every day to provide the very best care for our patients, and when things go wrong we are not well trained to deal with the aftermath of these events, nor is the healthcare system designed to provide us with support. We are often left feeling isolated and with a sense of shame, guilt, and incompetence. The fear of litigation discourages communication with patients, families, and colleagues, and the involved care providers are expected to return to their routine patient care as though the event was absent of emotional impact.
The focus of MITSS for care providers is to create awareness about the impact that adverse medical events have beyond patients and families. In addition to advocating for transparency and apology, MITSS advocates for the development of support services for care providers in healthcare institutions using a model of peer support. MITSS also provides direct services for care providers seeking confidential emotional support in one-on-one and group settings.
If you have been impacted an adverse medical event, we invite you to explore how MITSS can be of service to you. We are here to listen and to support you in any way that we can.
We have a Confidential survey attached to this site which will help us to help you and others dealing with the emotional impact following an adverse event. If you have been involved in an adverse event, please take a few minutes to complete this short survey. Your input is critical in developing innovative and effective programs of support for healthcare providers. Thank you.

In 2015, Martin Garber, along with other local education supporters, teamed up with Bartlesville school officials and designed a pilot program to help struggling students live up to their potential and have a successful future. The dozen or so civic leaders behind Bartlesville Education Promise have made much progress, providing weekly tutoring and summer enrichment activities that will span over the next three years at an estimated annual cost of about $50,000. Garber will be bringing an update on the organization's progress to date and plans for the future.
Joe Todd is well known across the state for his extensive interviews of veterans who have served their country with honor, publicizing their narratives for future generations. Todd, a veteran of the Vietnam War, Gulf War and intervention in Haiti, enlisted in the U.S. Army at the age of 19. His grandfather served in World War I and his father served in World War II. He will bring a special presentation for the upcoming May 29 Memorial Day observance.

... the the ... quite HTC Steber so Lula joins us to discuss well ... what actually ... happened to the latest in a freak like they take not a lot of time to actually really no major news coming on the economic front ... when it comes to earnings again this is what kind of in between the that that that the earnings periods here so ... I cannot walk on news and sore and Toll Brothers are two notable names the reporting but ... it's a quiet day on on the already online radio company yes yes so ... all in one yet they like this when people turn to Washington what's going on with the fiscal cliff negotiations so ... again today it seems like ... the stalemate continues the GOP had their their plan the White House ... but rejected it ... so we're still stuck in this sort of you know push and pull with what's happening in Washington and how is there going to be a deal before the deadline is old ... on things like this you could get a headline here headline that they could swing things one way or the other ... up and although it just seems like people are just sort of in weensy mode ... hoping that Santa rally ... in December but for now though just ... waiting to see what's going happen on the economic front with the jobs working on Friday ... and was can happen and watch the SEC job supporting other particular things we need to look for over the next few days this week well what happen yesterday Oracle had some big dividend news that after the bell announcing they were pushing up their dividend not just when dividend but they're paying three dividends earlier that it is at its four-year Kerrigan and ... pull for a three to three quarters that the next three quarter's worth of dividend sees that came on December and it's just another example of a company that is making moves ahead of the fiscal cliff ... people know what's going happen with this dividend tax rate so if you pay now you know with that the tax rate is now ... a new sequence of the uncertainty that could happen in twenty thirteen is interesting to know that you're seeing a lot of these moves and in some these insider can be controlled companies ... and Oracle's an example that Larry Ellison owns about twenty three percent stake in the company ... Sen speaking of which two in a sense for how much of those dividends they're pulled forward how much in taxes he's gonna say well that's a great point because in the Journal today we said that he stands to receive about one hundred and ninety million dollars from the accelerated to that ... so ... it's a it's going and not attending any new debt to back to mean what what's the difference of no accelerated dividend and the real differences ... in the tax rate that you'll pay almost didn't write write write ... we think about it the man's worth something like thirty billion dollars ... it is this is happening this is no money for him yet yet exactly but I mean what we're seeing now with these dividends ... is that I can as it integrates that more than two hundred companies have had ... announced special dividends on this is just a Cummins moving up the difference that announce special dividends in November ... that's more than three times the amount from that the same time period a year ago so ... more more companies are doing a lot of these countries are really small companies ... an insider own company so Oracle is one of the few examples of the pretty large company that is also making the sort of move so maybe fetches a of ... and yet that is a lot people are expecting more to come in the future ok Steve thanks much for joining us thank you and for more of the markets come back at ten thirty for the markets of ...

22 February 2012 at 5.42pm | Comment on this article
What's it like being one of the Royal Opera House's Associate Artists and working with the dancers here?
It's a window into a world that I had never stepped foot into. Before working here, I had only been to two operas, and never seen a ballet. The skill and excellence in the building puts you on a different level.
I first worked the dancers here on Ludd and Isis, creating duets for Mara Galezzi and Ryoichi Hirano and for Laura Morera and Bennet Gartside. It was an incredibly fruitful experience with my contemporary dance vocabulary meeting their classical technique and creating something fresh in between. Ballet dancers have an inherent theatricality; they want an emotive and personal vessel for all that technique. That's something I understand as well.
Previously you've worked with the Royal Opera House's resident choreographer Wayne McGregor, what was that experience like?
Working with Wayne McGregor was amazing. He opened up my mind to new possibilities of movement creation. His take on movement is quite abstract and I explored that quite rigorously.
I was invited into rehearsals where Wayne would have just 45 minutes with the dancers and was able to create a piece under this extreme time pressure. His clarity of purpose and the dedication with which he applied his choreographic skills was a massive revelation for me and very different to the contemporary dance world which might have a much more ad hoc approach.
He really enjoyed the work that I produced for him, and it was he who put me forward for the Associate Artist Scheme.
What about the work for 2012's new dance commission?
I began working on it last summer as I had a second baby in October so needed to get it out of the way before my brain turned to mush! The pieces will be performed alongside works from the two other Associate choreographers, Laila Diallo and Freddie Opoku-Addaie and I'll be returning to conduct rehearsals before. It was brilliant to work ahead like that, as it allowed the creative team to actually develop their work out of my choreography, which is quite unusual.
What's was the inspiration for the new piece?
It's a very sci-fi scenario. The dancers portray characters who've shut themselves off from the world, and don't interact with any other people. All their behaviour comes from mimicking the TV. Television has been their mother, their teacher, their only company. The concept is quite dark and improbable, but it gave us the opportunity to create a very limited movement vocabulary and emotional vocabulary for each dancer.
The inspiration was watching my small child's behaviour, out of his obsessive watching of television and what he learnt about the world around him from it. Each of the dancers has a real, operational television set that they interact and move around with. We've clad the TVs in perspex so you can see their inner mechanisms.
The piece certainly wasn't conceived as a polemic against TV - I love rubbish telly! I'm fascinated by its power, its ability to manipulate the emotions, but also by people's pleasure in that exploitation and their need for it, even. I cry my eyes out to shows like So you think you can dance. I know I'm being manipulated, but I still love it. Why? I think that there's just a need for that physical emotional release. The cathartic element interests me and that's what I've set out to explore in my piece.
New Dance Commissions run Thursday 29 March - Saturday 31 March

The "Talk With Your Doctor" initiative designed to motivate people to stop smoking was unveiled today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and groups representing nearly 600,000 physicians to encourage smokers to talk with their doctors about quitting smoking. The "Talk With Your Doctor" initiative is part of CDC's national tobacco education campaign, Tips From Former Smokers, which not only tells the story of how real people's lives were changed forever due to their smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke, but also motivates people to quit.
The physicians' groups are:
According to AAP President Thomas K. McInerny, MD, FAAP, "We know that tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in our country. Physicians need to ask the right questions to help patients and families quit smoking and using tobacco products, and to help protect children and other nonsmokers from the harm of secondhand smoke. Our call to action by all five national medical organizations, combined with CDC's 'Talk With Your Doctor' initiative, will help remind all clinicians about the impact of talking with patients and helping smokers quit for good."
Nationally, about one in five U.S. adults (43.8 million) are cigarette smokers, and 40 percent of children (15 million) are exposed to secondhand smoke. More than 70 percent of smokers want to quit, and about 50 percent try to quit each year. Physicians play a critical role in helping patients to quit; in fact, studies show that advice from a doctor more than doubles the chances that a patient will quit.
From May 27 through June 2, select Tips From Former Smokers television ads as well as digital and online ads will feature: "You Can Quit. Talk With Your Doctor for Help." The goal of this initiative is to motivate smokers to work with their physicians to develop a plan for quitting and to encourage doctors to use "Tips" as an opportunity to start a dialogue with patients who use tobacco.
"The compassionate intervention of the obstetrician-gynecologist and all physicians is often the critical element in smoking cessation for women. This campaign helps to normalize that conversation" adds ACOG president Jeanne A. Conry, MD, PhD, FACOG.
To help extend the impact of the initiative, AAP, AAFP, ACOG, ACP, and AMA are working with their nearly 600,000 physicians and other health care professionals to encourage them to talk with their patients about tobacco use and about protecting others from secondhand smoke. Doctors will learn about new tools, techniques, and improved strategies to engage patients in these conversations and will receive information about the campaign in journals, newsletters, electronic resources, and digital communications.
"The American College of Physicians supports this important campaign," emphasized Charles Cutler, MD, FACP, chair of ACP's Board of Regents. "During this campaign, we want to encourage physicians to talk to their patients about tobacco use and quitting. In fact, when all physicians talk to patients and families about tobacco use, many more smokers will quit."
The Tips From Former Smokers campaign features real people who are living with serious diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer, heart disease, asthma, and diabetes that were caused by smoking or secondhand smoke exposure. Their compelling stories send a powerful message: Quit smoking now—or better yet, don't start. Studies show that the sooner you quit, the better.
"Quitting is one of the best things a smoker can do to improve their health and the health of their loved ones who may be exposed to their secondhand smoke," said AMA Board member Patrice Harris, MD. "The message physicians are sending is clear. Don't wait. Talk with your doctor today about kicking the habit for good."
In addition to talking with their doctors, smokers who want help quitting can call the toll-free 1-800-QUIT-NOW quitline (1-800-784-8669) or visit www.cdc.gov/tips. For more information about the Tips campaign, including profiles of the featured former smokers, other campaign resources, and links to the ads, visit www.cdc.gov/tips.
"Patients should feel comfortable talking with their personal physician or child's doctor about quitting" says AAFP president Jeffrey J. Cain, MD, FAAFP. "Our five national medical associations have resources on our websites for both patients and doctors to facilitate these discussions and partner to protect the health of patients and families."

TRENTON (AP) - Advocates for the poor are looking to Gov. Chris Christie's budget proposal for word on whether he wants to expand Medicaid to a larger group of low-income people.
Christie has been mum on the topic. But people in the health care world and advocates for the poor suspect he will lay out his plans in the state budget.
Expanding the joint federal-state program is a major piece of the federal health insurance overhaul of 2010. But the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states can decide for themselves whether to do it.
Liberal groups say an expansion would ease the state budget and give more people access to care.
But some healthcare groups are not sure access to care would really improve much.

Breast Cancer: Overview
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women in the United States, second only to skin cancer.
The condition develops when breast cells grow out of control. In normal, healthy breast tissue, new cells constantly form as old ones die. But when new cells grow too quickly, cell mutations, or changes, can form. It is this "out of control" cell formation that develops into cancer. Left untreated, cancer cells invade healthy breast tissue. Cancer cells may also move into the underarm lymph nodes, and possibly other parts of the body.
It's perfectly normal to feel anxiety about the breast cancer journey, but try to take a deep breath and relax—we're here to help you navigate the waters of this disease.
Remember this: In addition to working with your healthcare provider to develop the best treatment strategy for you, sharing your feelings with a friend, family member or licensed professional can help you get the support that you need.
