Tight calf leads to Mejia's exit after 12th
WASHINGTON -- In a game already pushing five hours, the Mets certainly could have used multiple innings out of closer Jenrry Mejia.
Instead, a tight calf forced Mejia out of Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Nationals after a single scoreless inning. The closer does not believe his injury to be anything serious, but he said he cannot be sure until he tests it prior to Friday's series opener in Philadelphia.
"It feels a little bit tight," Mejia said.
Noting that the injury first began vexing him earlier this week, Mejia said he received an in-game massage that reduced his discomfort. But he began feeling it again during his 18-pitch 12th inning on Thursday, forcing him to retreat to the clubhouse after recording the third out. Carlos Torres came on and ultimately gave up Bryce Harper's walk-off homer in the 13th.
Mejia also pitched through a sore back last weekend in New York, and he has a long history of arm issues dating back to 2010. The Mets believe his latest ailment falls toward the less-serious end of the spectrum.
"We'll find out more [Friday]," manager Terry Collins said. "Right now, the trainers don't think it's anything serious. But it was serious enough that he wasn't going to pitch anymore today."
If Mejia is unable to pitch this weekend, Jeurys Familia and Vic Black would be the leading candidates to replace him at closer.

New York, June 26, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists strongly condemns personal attacks made by Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa on Gustavo Cortez, editor of the leading daily El Universo.
"President Correa must abstain from using abusive language and engaging in personal attacks on Gustavo Cortez and other independent journalists solely because they have different points of view," said Carlos Lauría, CPJ's senior program coordinator for the Americas. "In the polarized context of Ecuador, such attacks can be extremely dangerous. We hold President Correa responsible for the safety of Cortez."
During a TV broadcast on Saturday Correa accused Cortez of being "wicked" and "of having bad faith." He showed a photo of Cortez and called on the Ecuadoran people to remember his face "as a clear example of the bad press in the country." It was the second time Correa singled out the journalist in two weeks. In February, Correa won a libel suit against El Universo and later pardoned the paper. CPJ research shows that press freedom has seriously deteriorated in Ecuador since Correa took office in 2007.

Elton John was the biggest pop star of the '70s, grabbing headlines and generating hits throughout the world. As it turned out, this was merely the first act in a remarkable career that kept him at the top of the charts for over 25 years. He charted a Top 40 hit single every year between 1970 and 1996, a sign that he knew how to both change with the times and mold the times to fit him. Initially marketed as a singer/songwriter, John soon revealed he could craft Beatlesque pop and pound out rockers with equal aplomb. He could dip into soul, disco, and country, as well as classi...

Cast your mind back to 2006 when Delaware's Spinto Band emerged out of the blue in a glorious burst of sugary exuberance and naggingly brilliant pop songs. Their breakthrough LP Nice and Nicely Done was a work of lo-fi genius swooping over the twee-loving audience, engaging both the feet and the heart. I was one of those people who loved the record an awful lot. Too much, maybe. Much like hugging a kitten, my overplaying squeezed the life and drained the joy from it and I began to find it grating: The cutesy harmonies, the twiddling mandolins and the kazoos, goddam the kazoos really were too much. So when Moonwink thudded onto my doormat via of the postman it was with some reservations with which I began to listen.
Over familiarity aside, much of the band's output is very similar. Three minute pop songs are definitely the order of the day with The Spinto Band. So do they deliver Nice and Nicely Done part two, or an entirely different beast? As Moonwink begins the fears are soon confirmed as jolly pop ditty after jolly pop ditty pour forth. So not much has changed audibly, however, the sheer sense of fun is still evident in spades and after numerous plays shows no sign of waning. It all kicks off with the stomping 'Later On' which boasts a military drum beat alongside Nick Krill's typically woozy vocals. 'Vivian Don't' carries on in similarly confident style with complex vocal hooks overlapping and drawing attention closer. Lead single 'Summer Grof' meanwhile is the record's star with its hand-clapping heartbreak chic cloding the successful opening trio of tunes.
Marks, however, are lost for the band's lack of originality. Whilst it's true that The Spinto Band sound like nobody else around right now it's also true to say they sound exactly the same as they did three years ago (and indeed three minutes ago). The song structures, from the soft and deftly sung verses and screeched choruses to the unerring keyboard sound used on every song the album soon blends into an incoherent repetitive strain. It's a bizarre contradiction but there is not a track to single out as being poor here and there are plenty that stand out as being strong individually but once they are surrounded by ten of their equals it begins to sound less like a cohesive album and more like a zombie film; numerous indecipherable monsters gurning for your attention.
Lacking Nice And Nicely Done's immediacy, whilst retaining the slightly grating quality was never going to be successful for The Spinto Band. Had this been a debut album perhaps it would have been better received, however, the shadow of the successful first album looms heavy here and may just have listeners reaching for the older material rather than the current.

Michelle Lam is the CEO of True&Co., an online-only lingerie company. She believes that many women are wearing bras that are the wrong size and that they don't get the right sizes because they hate the embarrassing experience of shopping at a store. True&Co.'s solution to this is an online quiz, the results of which tell women their correct sizes.
Upon purchase, customers receive a box of five garments, and they can send any back they don't like. True&Co. carries niche brands like Blush, as well as household names like Calvin Klein.
She's also gotten venture funding from a very famous American actress who would look great in True&Co.'s product — but she made us promise not to tell anyone who that is and, foolishly, we agreed.
Before starting True&Co. last year, Lam, 34, worked at Bain and Microsoft (in corporate strategy). She's a believer in big data, and has collected some off-putting stats about how often the average American woman actually washes her bras. Not very often to almost never is the answer, because they don't want to ruin them in the machine.
We talked to Lam after Business Insider's Social Commerce 2013 event, at which she spoke about how she uses social media to drive sales.
Business Insider: Why does there need to be another lingerie company? We've already got Victoria's Secret.
Michelle Lam: We sell bras online and our differentiator is after a two-minute, fun quiz we will fit you into a bra with no fittings or photos. Every women in my generation has nothing but Victoria's Secret. They are great at what they do, but we have a great alternative. We are gross margin positive in a really nice way.
BI: It's online only?
ML: It's all online. And we ask you a series of questions with illustrations. We take the data about your body type in general and we suggest a personal shop just for you.
BI: How do you use social media for marketing?
ML: Mainly Facebook; we have 36,000 fans. We just launched last June, and weren't on Facebook till September. We are a startup. We have no retail stores.
BI: But don't people want to try things on to make sure they're the right size, in a store?
ML: It's a very complicated process where the numbers don't mean anything. Women used to go into a fitting room and spend two hours half naked in that fitting room. Trial and error. The entire process is controlled by the salesperson who brings you bra after bra and is invasive because she is in there with her. The customer told us she didn't want anybody to see her half naked in a fitting room. I'm a woman. I went through that process. When we started building the company, I had 500 bras in my living room and was always inviting women over to try these on and see their reactions. They didn't want to be seen. They don't want to do it in front of other people. They don't want to go to the store.
BI: But this store visit is only necessary for the first time, presumably? After that, women know what size they are. Problem solved.
ML: No, women's sizes change all the time. After you've had a child, after weight gain and loss, your time of the month, if you go to work and can't use your old bras. A woman should get fitted once a year and replace bras two to three times a year.
BI: What kind of bras are women wearing most of the time?
ML: Our customer is a true woman. No push up. Perfectly fitted. She wears it to work. In her closet is a little bit of fantasy and a lot of reality. Guys have more boxers than girls have bras. Women wait a long time to replace bras. When they bought it the fit was right. But spandex and cotton, when you're wearing it all the time, can get ruined in the wash. So American women don't wash them that much.
BI: Really? I assumed women washed bras the way men wash boxer shorts — after every use.
ML: Most women may not wash them ever. Fibers break down. Sixty percent of women didn't replace their bras in last three years. I was probably one of them.
BI: That doesn't sound like the sexy fantasy men want to believe.
ML: We sell what women want to wear on special occasions. A woman's definition of 20-second wear may be different than a man's definition. We cater to women, not to the man. Others cater to male tastes if it's only on for 20 seconds. It doesn't have to be uncomfortable or impractical to wear for longer. I think you can find great merchandise that makes you feel attractive and is comfortable.

Vantec Nexus NXP101 MultiFunction Controller Review
There was a time when only a few cases had USB or Firewire ports on the front bezel. That meant when you wanted to hook up a USB device you had bend down behind the desk to try an find a free port. USB hubs solved a lot of those problems, and gradually case manufacturers began creating bezels with integrated USB and Firewire ports to solve access issues. Those cases which don't support front mounted USB/Firewire ports can be upgraded pretty easily with a USB/Firewire bay in either the 3.5" or 5.25" slots.
With the abundance of bay devices being installed in modern systems, we are gradually running out of space. So when Vantec introduced their Nexus NXP101 Mutifunction Panel with two USB headers, a Firewire header, a fan controller and a digital LCD readout of three temperature sensors and fan RPM things were looking good. The LCD screen is backlit green, so even in darker areas it will be readable, and the entire unit is powered by just one floppy drive power connector (or molex).
Now just to clarify things a little for those who may be unsure; the USB and IEEE1394 Firewire headers do not mean that you can hook up the NXP101 to an older computer without these features and expect to all of a sudden have them. Both ports are just headers , which means you will need to have a USB and Firewire PCI card installed in the motherboard already, or have jumper cables from the motherboard USB / Firewire headers handy
Vantec provide their own type of USB and Firewire jumper cables, but while one header connects to the NXP101, the other end is a full fledged USB / Firewire connector.
Since most mainboards don't actually have the USB or IEEE1394 connectors on the inside (they tend to use less expensive headers with 10 or 8 pins respectively) if you want to use the Vantec cables you may have to weave them out through a free PCI slot towards the I/O ports. It will depend on your case, but since each cable is only about a metre long this may not be feasible.
The best option would be to use the jumper cables that came with the motherboard for its internal USB / Firewire ports. Often these jumpers will go right to a socket which fits in one of the PCI expansion bays. By using these jacks you can install the Firewire and USB ports up front via the Nexus panel the easiest (unless of course you have a USB/Firewire PCI card already).
In addition to the styling good looks of brushed aluminum, Vantec include three shades of translucent covers to give the NXP101 you own personal touch. The unit ships with a little allen key so you can undo the four screws and install the blue, green, or aqua face plate of your choice.
Since we're on the subject of what comes with the NXP101 it is worthwhile to mention that in addition to the IEEE1394 Firewire and USB cables, the three face plates, allen key & screws comes three thermocouple temperature sensors, and two fan power cable extensions.
The manual gives you a good indication of where to place each of the three thermocouples, and by hitting the button to the right of the LD display you can cycle through the different temperature regions (CPU, Case, HDD).
The dial at the center of the Nexus allows you direct control of one fan's RPM (by default Vantec suggest hooking up the CPU fan). Two sets of extension cables run out from the back of the unit, one to the fan, and the other to the motherboard to supply the RPM signal. If there are any problems with this fan an alarm will go off, and it is a loud one.
We tested the RPM control with a larger 80mm fan, and a regular 60mm version. In both cases the dial worked just as it should, though the panel had some odd issues with the larger 80mm the first few times we tried it out. For some reason the fan would kick back to a lower RPM if we dialed up the speed to high. In any case, at no time did the fan actually lose power.
Overall, Vantec have put together a pretty good kit here. While the Nexus NXP101 is not exactly a necessary piece of hardware everyone must have, for those looking to tweak out their systems a little, the unit offers up an easy turn key solution. Thermal monitoring is included, as is control over one fans RPM. Couple that with a motherboard which allows you to bring the USB and Firewire ports up front and the Nexus NXP101 is pretty useful after all.
Given the choice between the three different colours of face plate, we went against the grain and actually removed them - preferring to stay with the bare aluminum itself. The Vantec Nexus NXP101 is definitely a cool toy for the geek who spends way too much time worrying about internal case temps, and compared to the DigiDoc, it kicks butt!

That dream I had about tiny delicious sandwiches at my grandmother's birthday party did not come true, though I did get many compliments on my kugelis.
Kugelis is a dish that involves peeling and grating five pounds of potatoes with the nubbiest, most painful side of the grater. As such, each batch contains a little bit of human flesh as well as a pound of bacon with the fat undrained, a stick of butter, and several other, less horrifying ingredients. Once it bakes for about an hour, you serve it warm with a dollop of sour cream and are fortified to work the fields for many hours. That's what my ancestors did anyway, so years ago I had my grandmother show me how to make kugelis, and even though I wrote each step down on a sheet of yellow lined paper and managed not to lose it, something got lost in translation and I had to go to the internet for my current recipe.
Throughout my grandmother's 90th birthday party, she kept speaking to me in Lithuanian, a language I do not understand. She does this more and more lately, especially when she's flustered, and it reminds me of her own mother, who lived to 94 and reverted to her native language steadily so that by the very end she never spoke English. When my great-grandmother used to speak to me in Lithuanian, I would smile and nod and usually this worked, although if my grandmother caught us she admonished with a "Mama, speak English!" Now that my grandmother speaks to me in a language I don't understand, the smiles and nods don't work as well and I have to say, as gently as possible, "In English?" I can see the corrections embarrass her.
My grandmother hit her party stride around the Happy Birthday Song, which the mixed crowd sang in English and Lithuanian. The Lithuanian version had a lot more verses, with long gaps in between, and at one point I made eye contact with my sister and felt laughter start to bubble up and decided it best not to look at her anymore. You may remember how I fussed over a music playlist last week, and that worked out fine and all, but the surprise hit was a guest who showed up with an accordion and tambourine. I dreamt about tiny delicious sandwiches that don't even exist and then a living dream walked through the front door!
The accordion player led the birthday songs and played some more while my grandmother sat and sang alongside him. The song was not in English, but it sounded sad or maybe just sincere. My grandmother sang beautifully in a high, confident voice and I remembered how much I love listening to her.
There was plenty of music and too much food and as the last guests left, I said goodbye to my husband and felt loneliness like an itch I never seem to be able to scratch. But just like ten years ago and her 80th birthday party, the after-party was maybe the best part. My grandmother changed into pajamas and rejoined us while my daughters played some Lord of the Flies game with balloons and we listened to more music. My husband had put away most of the food and washed dishes and other relatives helped too, so cleanup was not too bad.
The next morning, we reconvened and I put records on her old stereo console that still works, though I'll admit reservations shoving the bent two-pronged plug in the wall and again when the speakers whimpered and crackled like a dying man's cough.
My grandmother handed me the official album for the 1984 Summer Olympics and told me to play it and my youngest rocked out to Loverboy because she is still in pajamas and buzzed on room temperature ginger ale. My grandmother said "How come you didn't play music like this yesterday?" and I don't know if she means music kids go nuts to or Loverboy or if she just wishes the party was still happening. She instructed us to leave the streamers up and the balloons get corralled in a corner, though they will shrink by the day.
My grandmother tells my girls that the next time we have a party at her house, she will not be there and my youngest asks where she'll be. She tells them when my great-grandmother was very old, they had a party and she came downstairs and danced awhile and then retired to her room. My little sister went upstairs to find her and my great-grandmother told her the same thing about not being at the next party, and sure enough she died within the year. I remind my grandmother that she's been planning her own funeral for the last 10 years and she laughs.
Before my girls and I leave, my grandmother pulls flowers from various bouquets and fastens them with a piece of ribbon and tells me to stop at the cemetery and leave them on my mother's grave. I can hardly refuse this request, though before we pull out of her driveway she also tells me "Please do not vote for that Hillary." So you don't always get what you wish for, even at 90. Maybe we get very few wishes over a lifetime and foolishly use them up when we're young. I know I love watching my youngest daughter's face before she blows out candles or flips a coin in a fountain, her face earnest with concentration and belief. I can't remember the last time I've blown out candles or thrown a coin in a fountain.
After we back out of my grandmother's driveway and pull away, I honk and watch as she gets smaller and smaller in the rear view mirror. Once we round a corner, I look back and my daughters turn around even though we know she won't be there.

We fight for military families: the Association's 2013 priorities, Part 2
Yesterday we covered how we determine our legislative focus for the year. Today, Part 2 in our series on explaining our priorities for 2013.
This is the time of year we develop our list of priorities to share with policymakers. What needs to be done to make the benefits and programs that military families depend on more responsive to their needs right now and for the long term? What can the Department of Defense (DoD) do to improve or refine military family access to health care and mental health support? How can the schools our children attend better serve the needs of a mobile population in a time of diminishing school budgets? Why doesn't the expansion of spouse career opportunities go hand in hand with quality, affordable child care? What support does a grateful Nation owe wounded service members, their caregivers, and the survivors of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice? How can DoD help those service members and families who are transitioning to civilian life?
Here's the first part of our list of priorities – the priorities we will address to Congress, the Department of Defense, and the Services. Not all issues need to be addressed by legislation. Sometimes Congress asks for a report on how a program is working or to find out how a specific need is being addressed. While DoD may have policy jurisdiction, Congress – through language in the National Defense Authorization Act – can mandate that DoD take a certain action. That's why we address these priorities to both Congress and DoD.
- Ensure families of all seven Uniformed Services have timely access to high quality, affordable health care and a robust TRICARE benefit.
- Enhance military families' access to the medical and non-medical counseling they need to recover from the stress of long years at war. The progress made in lessening the stigma associated with seeking behavioral health care is threatened if service members and families cannot get help when needed.
- Mandate tracking and reporting on military family member suicides. Anecdotal reports indicate the number of military family suicides is growing. We cannot address the problem until we know its extent.
- Ensure that a robust, responsive system of reintegration support for families still trying to reconnect or deal with the effects of wounds, injuries, or illnesses is accessible across Services, components, and geographic locations.
- Provide equal eligibility of benefits for caregivers of wounded, ill, or injured service members and veterans across all seven Uniformed Services and from all wars. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and DoD caregiver benefits don't mesh and many caregivers lose the support they need just when they need it the most.
- Ensure better cooperation and accountability between the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs at the highest levels in the support of transitioning wounded, ill, and injured and care givers. The lack of a seamless transition between agencies still exists and must be corrected.
- Protect the commissary benefit by continuing the annual appropriation to support the system at its current level. Commissaries provide an important benefit for military families as well as a good deal for the taxpayer. Oppose attempts to consolidate the commissary and exchange system.
Do these resonate with what you are experiencing as a military family? What are your priorities for Congress and DoD for 2013?
Tomorrow's post, Part 3 in this series, will look at the rest of our priorities for 2013. Read Part 1 here.

Susan Boyle finally feels ready to head out on her first ever concert tour, more than three years after finding worldwide fame on Britain's Got Talent.
The Scottish star became an overnight sensation in 2009, but she buckled under the pressure and checked into a rehab clinic in London shortly after coming second on the Tv talent show.
She sparked fears for her mental health in 2010 with a series of bizarre public outbursts but the 51 year old has now learned to cope with life in the spotlight, and admits she would love nothing more than to perform around the world.
She tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "It would be exciting to go on the road. I'm more relaxed about being a singer. I know what I am doing and the path I want to follow.
"In the beginning it was tough but now I can handle things better. I don't feel under any pressure, the record team have been good like that. I think I probably can do a full show, it would be very exciting to go on the road.
"I started (my career) at 47, there is plenty of life in me yet... I know I'm not alone and feel more confident of the team around me."

Anaheim's Brad Staubitz scored the winning goal as the Ducks beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Thursday in a clash of NHL Western Conference division leaders.
Staubitz's goal gave the Ducks a 2-0 lead that held up after 40 minutes, before a Vancouver rally fell short in the third period.
Elsewhere, New Jersey won their final home game of the season by beating high-flying Pittsburgh, Montreal beat a Winnipeg team who saw their playoff hopes ended and Ottawa sealed their place in the post-season with victory over Washington.
Anaheim's game against Vancouver was respectively their last road and home games. The defeat ended the Canucks' run of eight straight home victories.
Matt Beleskey, also in the second period, and Andrew Cogliano, with a short-handed empty-netter in the final minute, scored for the Ducks, while Jason Garrison netted for the Canucks.
New Jersey's Ilya Kovalchuk scored his first goal since injuring a shoulder last month, giving the Devils a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Kovalchuk's goal with 6 minutes, 10 seconds remaining helped New Jersey overcome a 2-0 deficit and win their home finale.
Penguins star Sidney Crosby missed his 10th straight game because of a broken jaw, but he was cleared by medical personnel to return to hockey-related activity.
The Montreal Canadiens' 4-2 win over Winnipeg came immediately after the Jets learned their playoff hopes were over.
Wins by the New York Rangers and the Ottawa Senators saw them clinch the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.
The Canadiens broke out of a slump in which they had lost five of six.
Ottawa's 2-1 overtime win over the Washington Capitals was enough to put the Senators into the playoffs.
Sergei Gonchar scored 47 seconds into overtime after Erik Karlsson had set up Ottawa's first goal in his sooner-than-anticipated return from a torn Achilles tendon.
Alex Ovechkin scored for Washington, the Southeast Division champions, who had nothing at stake.
The Senators, who have two games remaining, moved up to sixth in the East. If they remain there, Ottawa would face the Capitals, who have won 10 of 12 overall — with the only losses against the Senators.
Philadelphia's Oliver Lauridsen and Danny Briere scored to lead the Flyers to a 2-1 win over the New York Islanders, who dropped to eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
Lauridsen scored only his second career NHL goal as the Flyers — who will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2007 — won their home finale.
The Islanders are headed to the playoffs for the first time in six seasons. They dropped to eighth place after failing to earn a point for the first time in 12 games.
The Columbus Blue Jackets stayed alive in the Western Conference playoff race with a 3-1 win over the Dallas Stars.
Cam Atkinson scored twice and Sergei Bobrovsky made 31 saves for the Blue Jackets, who are level on points with eighth-placed Minnesota, but the Wild hold the tiebreaker.
To make the playoffs, Columbus needs to beat Nashville today and have the Stars beat Detroit in regulation, or have the Wild earn no more than one point in their two remaining games.
Before the game ended, the Stars were eliminated from playoff contention when Detroit defeated Nashville.
The Boston Bruins kept in control of the tight race for the Northeast Division title by beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-0.

When you're on your way home from a long day of work and the sky opens up on you, sometimes you just want to shoot someone. With the Howdah Pistol umbrella, you can pull the trigger and not, you know, go to prison or something.
Personally, I tend to imagine that my umbrella is a extensible stun baton, but pretending it's some kind of wacky pistol seems like a viable alternative. And as cool as push-a-button-to-extend umbrellas are, pull-the-trigger-to-extend umbrellas seem just slightly cooler. Almost cool enough to out-weigh the inherent awkwardness of carrying an umbrella. If this seems like your jam, you can pick one of these bad boys up at Brando for a scant £16 plus international shipping (if you can get it through customs). [Brando]

Smart lockers make debut at Winter Park Resort
WINTER PARK —Winter Park Resort is home to a new kind of high-tech ski locker.
It utilizes a smartphone application, allowing skiers and boarders to secure gear and purchase locker space at the base with a push of a button.
The lockers were the inception of SnowGate, a two-year-old company which began as a class project in a University of Colorado Boulder entrepreneurship class. It's now run by two of the original six undergraduates who came up with the concept.
SnowGate's founders say the app-driven locker system is revolutionary in the industry. Their smartphone app not only allows skiers and boarders to unlock and lock their equipment from their phone, it also allows them to purchase locker space ahead of time and reserve a space for upcoming ski days. They're rented with a credit card, and have room to store two pairs of adult skis along with other personal belongings, like boots and helmets.
The lockers have been well-received since the company's soft launch at Winter Park Resort this year, according to Christian Nitu, SnowGate's chief of marketing and co-founder.
"We saw a huge number of people using it in the beginning of the season," Nito said.
Nitu said that resort guests like to use the locker system for its ease of use and the ability to leave their gear at the base of the resort rather than having to lug their equipment to and from their hotel every morning.
The idea for the company spawned after one of the founder's ski equipment was stolen from the resort base, and it won a number of awards from CU's business school. The student founders used the winnings and heir savings to start the company.
"I like to think lockers aren't really sexy," Nitu said. "Our story is kind of the cooler thing."
The six college seniors scraped together $10,000 to get the company going have since grown it to be worth $345,000.
"We are just riding the roller coaster of a start-up life," Nitu said.
Though four of the original six founders of the company have since left, Nitu and SnowGate CEO Corey Finney are sticking with the idea. Winter Park Resort is the only place currently using the new locker system, but Nitu and Finney want it to catch on at other resorts and with other sports.
"Really the ski stuff is just the tip of the iceberg," Nitu said. "Our goal is to make it work in the ski industry and then take it to beaches and universities and make it a universal system for on-the-go storage."
Nitu said he hopes to see the company become the storage solution around the world as well.
The lockers are 100-percent manufactured in Lousiville, making SnowGate a purely Colorado company.
According to Nitu, Winter Park Resort has helped the company immensely by allowing them to use prime-time locker real estate at the resort's base and helping to market their product.
"Being able to use their marketing channels has been great and will help us expand in the future," Nitu said.

Jose Mourinho insists Fernando Torres is to remain at Chelsea next season as one of the club's three strikers.
Torres has been persistently linked with a return to Atletico Madrid this summer after struggling to make an impact at Stamford Bridge since his arrival in 2011.
Instead, the Spaniard must battle it out with new signing Diego Costa and Didier Drogba, who rejoined the Blues last week, for the marksman duties.
When Mourinho was asked if Torres was the player in question when the Portuguese indicated there may be a departure in the transfer window, he told Sky Sports News: "No. Three strikers is fundamental in a squad and we have three strikers - Fernando, Didier and Diego, so one of them is not (going) for sure."

Liverpool agree to sell Suarez to Barca
Liverpool have confirmed that an agreement has been reached with Barcelona for the transfer of Luis Suarez even though the troubled striker is serving a four-month ban for biting an opponent.
- Kelly: Farewell, Suarez -- now someone else's problem
- Carter: Five of Suarez's best moments at Liverpool
Suarez, 27, is set to sign a five-year contract with the Spanish club and will travel to the Catalan city for a physical next week, while the fee is reported to be around 80 million euros.
The Uruguay international had been heavily linked with a move to Barca ever since he was banned by FIFA from all football-related activity for four months after biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during a group-stage match at the World Cup.
Despite having a superb campaign last season -- winning both the PFA Players' Player of the Year and Football Writers' Player of the Year awards -- Suarez's reputation grew even more controversial after a suspension for biting an opponent for a third time in his career.
Liverpool released an official statement on Friday announcing that the former Ajax man will depart the club for Barca this summer.
• 31 - Premier League goals, winning the Golden Boot.
• 12 - Most assists in the Premier League.
• 24 - Scored the most goals from inside the box.
• 4 - Scored the most goals from counterattacks.
• 9 - Had the most shots that hit the woodwork.
• 3 - Most penalties won in the Premier League.
• 237 - Attempted more dribbles than any other player.
The statement read: "Liverpool Football Club today issued the following statement in relation to the future of Luis Suarez.
"Liverpool FC confirms that Luis Suarez will be leaving the club after a transfer agreement was reached with FC Barcelona. The player now has permission to complete the usual formalities, which will then conclude the transfer.
"We would like to thank Luis for his contribution and the role he played in helping bring Champions League football back to Anfield.
"Everyone at Liverpool Football Club wishes Luis and his family well for the future."
Barcelona, who have just sold Alexis Sanchez to Arsenal, also released an official statement on Friday confirming news of the deal.

- FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) July 11, 2014
The statement read: "FC Barcelona and Liverpool FC have reached an agreement for the transfer of Luis Suarez.
"The Uruguayan will be travelling to Barcelona next week for a medical, to sign his five-year contract and to be officially presented to the media and fans as an FC Barcelona player."
Suarez, who joined Liverpool in 2011 from Ajax, scored 31 goals last season to inspire Liverpool to a second-place Premier League finish and a return to Champions League football.
The striker told the club's official website that he is sad to be leaving but looks forward to embarking on a new chapter in his career.
"It is with a heavy heart that I leave Liverpool for a new life and new challenges in Spain. Both me and my family have fallen in love with this club and with the city," he said.
"But most of all I have fallen in love with the incredible fans. You have always supported me and we, as a family, will never forget it, we will always be Liverpool supporters.
"I hope you can all understand why I have made this decision. This club did all they could to get me to stay, but playing and living in Spain, where my wife's family live, is a lifelong dream and ambition. I believe now the timing is right.

- PL chief: Suarez an accident waiting to happen
- No 'bite clause' in Suarez's Barca contract
- Toe Poke: Fan gets dodgy Suarez tattoo
- Thompson: Portrait of a serial winner
- Brewin: No sympathy for Luis Suarez
- Thompson: Uruguay comes to Suarez defence
- Marcotti: Suarez in another bite storm
"I wish Brendan Rodgers and the team well for the future. The club is in great hands and I'm sure will be successful again next season.
"I am very proud I have played my part in helping to return Liverpool to the elite of the Premier League and in particular back into the Champions League.
"Thank you again for some great moments and memories. You'll Never Walk Alone."
Suarez later posted a letter from him and his family on his official Twitter account, thanking the club for standing by him in "difficult times''.

- Luis Suarez (@luis16suarez) July 11, 2014
Rodgers, Liverpool's manager, added: "Luis is a very special talent and I thank him for the role he has played in the team in the past two years, during my time at Liverpool. I think he would be the first to accept he has improved as a player over that period, along with the team and has benefited from being here, as we have benefited from him.
"The club have done all they can over a sustained period of time to try to keep Luis at Liverpool. It is with great reluctance and following lengthy discussions we have eventually agreed to his wishes to move to Spain for new experiences and challenges. We wish him and his young family well; we will always consider them to be friends.
"We are focused on the future, as we strive to continue with the progress we have made and build on last season's excellent Premier League campaign. I am confident we will improve the team further and will be stronger for this coming season, when we will be competing on all fronts; domestically and in the greatest club competition in the world, the Champions League.
"If there is one thing the history of this great club teaches us, it is that Liverpool FC is bigger than any individual. I hope our supporters continue to dream and believe that we are moving forward and with continued improvement and progression, together we will bring the success we all crave and deserve."
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard thanked Suarez on his official Instagram account for his contribution to the club and said he hoped the striker does well at Barcelona.
He wrote: "On an emotional day for me would just like to say what a pleasure it has been playing with an amazing talent such as Luis.
"I would like to thank him for his outstanding contribution on the pitch during his time @liverpoolfc and to wish him and his family all the best on his new adventure in Spain. #lfclegend"
With FIFA rejecting Suarez's appeal of his ban on Thursday, the striker is set to miss 18 fixtures for Barcelona before he will be available to make his debut on Oct. 25.
Suarez is now expected to ask the Court of Arbitration for Sport to freeze his sanctions during his appeal process.
If granted, Suarez would be allowed to train and play with Barca until a final verdict is reached, likely in several months.
The potential games he will currently miss include five friendlies for the team managed now by Luis Enrique from July 19-Aug. 18 (vs. Recreativo, Nice, Napoli, Helsinki and Mexican side Leon) and 13 official matches with three Champions League dates, one Copa del Rey fixture and nine La Liga matches. The Spanish domestic season starts on Aug. 24.
While playing for Ajax, Suarez was given a seven-match suspension for biting PSV Eindhoven midfielder Otman Bakkal during a Dutch Eredivisie game in November 2010. The striker did not play for Ajax again, completing a 22.5 million pounds move to Liverpool in January 2011.
He then received an eight-match ban for racially abusing Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra during a Premier League match at Anfield in October 2011, and caused further controversy by refusing to shake the France international's hand before the return fixture the following February, for which he subsequently apologised.
Suarez looked to have played his final match for Liverpool when he was given a 10-game domestic suspension for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic during a 2-2 Premier League draw at Anfield in April 2013.
The striker gave a series of interviews that summer declaring that he wanted to leave Anfield, but Liverpool's principal owner John W. Henry responded by insisting that he would not be sold.
Despite reports of interest from Real Madrid, the only offers for Suarez last summer came from Arsenal, which had two bids rejected. One was for 40,000,001 pounds, which the Gunners wrongly believed would trigger a release clause in his contract, which at the time ran until 2016. Liverpool maintained there was no such clause.
Suarez ended up staying at Anfield and even signed a new contract running through to 2018. That deal did have a release clause written in, and Barcelona's willingness to meet it means that the striker will move on.

You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

They crouched near the bottom of the canvas, perched on a step stool or squeezed in somewhere in the middle, ignoring the heat as they gripped paint brushes and zeroed in on their own small corners of a bigger picture.
At the 32nd annual Baltimore festival, it was community art in progress. The grassy park across from the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall became home to the first ever "10,000 brushes" project, billed as a "mural experience" during the event that calls itself America's biggest free arts festival.
Anyone who came into the exhibit area at Preston and Cathedral streets to help out was given one of the 10,000 sable hair paint brushes donated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
People came and went throughout the afternoon to work on Kemp's mural and nine other mini-murals destined to become "pop-up" displays around the city. As they painted and chatted and tried to stay in the lines the artists had sketched in black, color began spreading across the canvases, bringing the artists' visions into view.
"Everyone should paint every day – it's therapeutic," said Kemp, a self-described visual artist, musician and dog walker who lives on downtown's west side and said his abstract design showed "the power of creating space through imagination."
Helping him was Kamilah Tadlock of Severn, who will be a freshman at the University of Maryland, College Park.
"I really love art, but I'm not that good at it," Tadlock said. "But the idea of a bunch of people coming together to paint one thing – I really love that."
At times it was hard to tell who was more thrilled to see the preliminary sketches being transformed, the artists or the volunteers.
"I think it's done," joked Dave Christianson, of Fairfax, Va., obviously pleased with his patch of a mural designed by artist Kelly Bjorn Alm — a butterfly wing on which he and friend Adria Holder had collaborated. "I like the aspect of community coming together to work on different projects."
The project's curators, Jessie Unterhalter and Katey Truhn, said they invited 10 artists to participate, asking them only to come up with a design for an 8-by-8-foot mural using this year's festival theme of "No Passport Required." While each mural used a similar palette of colors to maintain consistency from painting to painting, each artist had a different interpretation.
Bjorn Alm, who works as a city park ranger, said she scrapped her original design for one that just came to her about two weeks before Artscape. Her mural shows the link between animal and human migration, with images of the migration of Mexican corn farmers and of monarch butterflies moving through the Sierra Madre mountains, with the outline of butterfly wings representing the border between US and Mexico.
"People have been excited to participate and get their hands dirty," she said.
Jordan Jones, one of the artists and a 2012 graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Arts, had a more literal interpretation. His mural portrayed passports being discarded, to show their lack of importance, he said. Helping him was Henry Bell of Northwest Baltimore, who said he has worked on similar community art projects. Bell said he was walking through the festival when he was intrigued by the "10,000 Brushes" exhibit and Jones' work and stopped in, helping to fill in one pink section with careful strokes.
"I'm happy people are engaged in my art, and happy people are helping to create it," Jones said.
Murals, seen as an accessible form of community art, have become popular ways to bring communities together and brighten neighborhoods, said Ryan Patterson, the public art administrator for the city's Office of Promotion and The Arts,.
"It's a pretty inexpensive way to provide powerful and fun imagery," Patterson said. "It's a fun way to get people exposed to the arts."
The completed murals will be displayed around the city, though officials are still completing those details, Patterson said. Some possibilities could include Charles Plaza and the Inner Harbor downtown, or festivals in Baltimore or elsewhere, such as in Atlantic City, he said.
The city's promotion and arts office plans to give out any remaining brushes through arts programs in city schools.

KIEV, Ukraine -- Tanks headed north into Ukraine this week from Russian-controlled Crimea. Not at the head of an invading army, but on a trainload of military equipment in such poor shape that Moscow had no use for it.
This humiliation illustrates the yawning chasm in the two former Soviet nations' armed forces -- one hollowed out by a lack of finances, the other benefiting from booming oil revenues.
The Russian military is much bigger, at 1 million men, compared to Ukraine's 180,000 troops. The Ukrainian military has an estimated 200 combat aircraft and about 1,100 tanks, while Russia reportedly has about 1,400 combat aircraft and several thousand tanks.
The Russian military is also much better funded. It's projected that Ukraine will spend almost $12,000 this year for each member of its armed forces, according to data provided by security affairs consultancy IHS Aerospace & Defense. Russia will spend seven times as much per person.
While much uncertainty still reigns in Ukraine, which is in dire economic straits and hoping to restore political normalcy with presidential elections set for May 25, its military is racing to figure out how to avoid another debacle at the hands of its giant neighbor.
It's not clear yet exactly how much losing Crimea to Russia has degraded Ukraine's defensive abilities.
"They've lost all the installations and facilities -- army, navy, air bases and all the infrastructure that goes with them -- in Crimea. They have lost several thousand soldiers and airmen and sailors," said Stephen Blank, a military expert at the American Foreign Policy Council. "The Ukrainian heartland is now vulnerable to an invasion from the south, as well as from the east."
Ukraine'sDefense Ministry press office said Tuesday it was not yet able to provide figures on its losses. But according Russian estimates last week, out of the 18,800 Ukrainian military servicemen in Crimea before the peninsula's annexation by Russia, Ukraine was only withdrawing 1,500. The bulk of the remainder switched sides, Russian officials said.
Igor Sutyagin, a research fellow at the London-based Royal United Services Institute, said in spite of the personnel drain, Ukraine scored a notable coup in retaining its crack Interior Minister troops.
"There were at least two highly trained, highly effective special operations units deployed in Crimea, and they are terribly dangerous for anybody," he said.
The Kiev-based Center of Military and Political Research estimates at least 51 Ukrainian navy vessels were seized by Russia, leaving only 10 ships still flying under a Ukrainian flag.
Mark Galeotti, a security expert at New York University, argued that loss might not be so bad.
"It was never really a force that could be expected to be involved in any serious war-fighting," he said. "So the Ukrainians might not be able to occasionally send a frigate with a multinational force fighting pirates off the coast of Somalia. But that was always a political gesture to show that Ukraine was a big boy now, rather than anything else."
What hardware Ukraine does gets back comes with Russia's disdain.
As one unnamed Russian military official told the state news agency RIA Novosti last week, the 350 Ukrainian tanks in Crimea dated back to the 1970s and would be of little use to Russia's armed forces.
But the ease and speed with which Russia was able to peel away a chunk of Ukrainian territory nearly the size of Belgium points to serious structural shortcomings in Ukraine's defenses.
James Sherr, associate fellow at Chatham House think tank, said developments in Crimea have lain bare the damage wrought over the four-year rule of President Viktor Yanukovych, who was ousted in a popular uprising in February. He said the professionalization of Ukraine's military was greatly reduced after Yanukovych was elected in 2010 and that its command-and-control links were disrupted or damaged.
"In the last few days and weeks of his presidency, vital communications records were destroyed," Sherr said. "Reserves, equipment holdings were cleaned out. Cleaned out, probably sold."
Yanukovych's plan to turn the military into an all-volunteer force -- last fall's draft was the last one -- was by most experts' analysis performed hastily and further eroded troop readiness.
It wasn't always this way.
In 2003, Moscow-commanded forces made a lunge for an island in Kerch Strait, which separates Crimea from Russia, but were quickly rebuffed by Ukraine. Mobilization in Crimea was swift, with navy and border guards placed on full alert.
Rebuilding that level of efficiency will require time and assistance, including from the West. That has been in little supply so far.
Reported Ukrainian requests for military hardware have so far gone unmet, and the U.S. has limited itself to supplying $3 million worth of non-lethal field rations.
"This is a very discouraging message in these circumstances, which I think very few in Washington (understand)," Sherr said.
Leading candidates for Ukraine'sMay 25 presidential vote have championed revamping the military, but the country's dire finances mean those promises are likely just rhetoric. The International Monetary Fund has recently agreed to loan Kiev up to $18 billion just to get the country through the next two years.
"Given the economic situation in Ukraine, it will cost them an enormous amount of money to buy the equipment and to rebuild the infrastructure that they need to defend themselves against Moscow," said Blank of the American Foreign Policy Council. "They don't have that kind of money and they won't for a long time."
Instead, the priority may fall on adopting a revised military posture. The bulk of Ukraine's forces are currently based in its western regions, far from the country's eastern border with Russia, which now appears the most likely site for an attack.
On Saturday in Luhansk province, 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the Russian border, Ukrainian soldiers were patrolling one of the many military encampments that have sprung up. Its tents, foxholes and barbed-wire perimeter fence were a temporary quick fix in what analysts say will be a costly readjustment to addressing a potential eastern threat.
If there is one area where Ukraine could in principle do Russia some harm, it's weapons manufacturing. Ukrainian state-owned weapons conglomerate Ukroboronprom has announced it would stop deliveries to Russia, pending the continuation of diplomatic hostilities.
"That might be very serious, because without parts and elements produced for Russian weapons systems ... Russia might have nothing to export," said Sutyagin of the Royal United Services Institute.
He said a little over half of Russia's strategic warheads are carried by missile systems that are either Ukrainian-designed and produced or rely on key Ukrainian components.
Military analysts see Ukraine's main asset as being a determined fighting force that might be vastly outgunned but is willing to make greater sacrifices.
"Ukrainians ... are very highly motivated to fight for their country and for their independence," Sutyagin said. "It is not that clear whether Russian servicemen would be willing to die for their orders."

Since 1962, the Pacific Science Center in Seattle has been providing a fun and educational atmosphere to visitors of all ages. For you and your fiancée, the center will provide an ideal engagement photography location.
Kick off your engagement photo shoot inside the center's courtyard area, which uses water and fountains to create some innovative and beautiful architecture. You and your fiancée can pose for a portrait on one of the docks, using the glimmering flower-shaped fountains as background. Take a seat on courtyard steps and have your engagement photographer snap some relaxed photos of you and your loved one. Your photographer can also utilize the towering iron arches in the courtyard area as a unique backdrop for your engagement photos. Afterward, head over to the center's Tropical Butterfly House, where you can pose for photos inside a tropical oasis that is filled with colorful fluttering butterflies. Admission to the Pacific Science Center is $14.00 for adults and park hours, which vary, can be found on the website.
Once you've finished at the Pacific Science Center, take a short drive over to Seattle University, a small campus that contains plenty of scenic locations for your engagement photography session. Have your engagement photographer create an intimate portrait of you and your fiancée beside the sparkling Millennium Fountain or seated on the steps in the very same courtyard. Take a promenade along the campus walkways as your photographer snaps some candid photos. Finally, be sure to pause for photos beneath the blooming pinkish cherry blossom trees that are scattered throughout the campus.
Serene and secluded, Seattle's Kubota Garden is one of the most gorgeous Japanese Gardens in the entire Northwest and a great place to have your engagement photography session.
Begin your photo shoot with a portrait of you and your fiancée in front of the garden's entrance gate. Venture inside and take a leisurely stroll through the garden as your engagement photographer goes to work. Pose for some seated photos on the garden's stones, overlooking the tranquil pond and surrounded by vibrant flowers. You and you fiancée can also pose on the miniature stone bridge that crosses the water, with the garden's exotic green bonsai trees in the background. Note that Kubota Garden's policy requires your photographer to obtain a permit before taking pictures in the garden.
Call (206) 684-4080 for permit and fee information. Only a few miles away from Kubota Garden you'll find Seward Park, a small, peninsular park that extends out into Lake Washington. Once you arrive, you and your fiancée can meander along the park's woody pathways either toward the thick tree-laden area or toward the water front. Have your engagement photographer take some beautiful engagement portraits of you and your loved one beside a majestic redwood. You and your fiancée can also pose for an intimate portrait out on the dock that stretches out into the water. Feel free to relax and enjoy your natural surroundings on one of the park's benches as your photographer takes some snapshots.
You'll have a great time during your outdoor photography session in Seattle!
For a fascinating excursion into the heart of one of Seattle's oldest neighborhoods, visit Pioneer Square, located in the southwestern corner of Downtown Seattle. Have your engagement photographer arrange a romantic portrait of you and your fiancée beneath the recently renovated chapel-like Pergola. You and your loved one can also pose on the bench beside Pioneer Square's famous totem pole for a unique engagement photo. Afterward, visit the square's most amazing feature – the indoor Waterfall Park. The park features private tables that you and your fiancée can grab while your engagement photographer takes some great photos, with the exotic waterfall in the background. You and your man can also pose along the rail for a different angle of the water crashing over the jagged rocks.
For a one-of-a-kind engagement photography location in Seattle's Pioneer Square, explore the catacombs beneath the ground floor of Doc Maynard's saloon, a restored tavern from the 1890's that was built by the early pioneers. Have your photographer snap some dark, mysterious photos as you wander through the underground maze. Once you've finished your excursion through the saloon's subterranean labyrinths, have your engagement photographer can create a portrait of you and your fiancée beneath the charming arched entrance of the adjacent Pioneer Building, a stunning example of brick Romanesque architecture. Nearby, you'll find the Lowman and Hanford buildings, near which you can conclude your engagement photo shoot.
