We still love Fox Mulder, even though we hated the last X-Files movie. So when David Duchovny insists the series has one more installment left in it, we're intrigued — especially if it means Chris Carter delivers some aliens.
In an interview with MTV, Duchovny said he was still game to play Fox — in fact. he'd keep doing it until he needed a wig and girdle. More importantly, Duchovny wants there to be aliens — which seems like a baseline requirement for a third X-Files movie, in our books.
But what do you think — can The X-Files be saved after the last film?

Book criticizes use of census to apportion House seatsSunday, January 10th, 2010
The Hartford Courant reports that an upcoming book by a Connecticut population expert criticizes how the Census is used to apportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. According to the newspaper, a series of papers by Orlando Rodriguez, manager of the Connecticut State Data Center, form the basis of the book "Vote Thieves: Illegal Immigration, Congressional Apportionment, and Census 2010," which is scheduled to be published this fall.
Rodriguez asserts that it's unfair to use the raw head count to determine House seats, because it doesn't account for non-voters and illegal immigrants:
But in "Vote Thieves," Rodriguez argues that representation based on population size unfairly penalizes many Northeastern states and intensifies political polarization. The fundamental problem, Rodriguez says, is that states are given federal representation based on the total count of people there. Apportionment is not made according to voting turnout in states, and not according to those who are legal citizens.
This has two major effects, Rodriguez says. Apportionment by raw head counts hugely favors Southern border states at the expense of Northern and Midwestern states. Those Southern border states tend to have younger populations with low voter turnouts. But the generally older and high-voting populations of the North and Midwest are given fewer representatives and thus fewer votes in the House.
If voter turnout in the most recent presidential elections, instead of raw head counts, was used in assigning House seats, Rodriguez's calculations show that Connecticut would actually gain a House seat.
It's unlikely that we'll see a shift in the way the census is used to determine Congressional representation soon, but Rodriguez makes some pretty interesting arguments against using the raw head count. If you buy Rodriguez's claims, relying on voter turnout instead could give states an incentive to maximize voter turnout, reduce disenfranchisement and draw competitive legislative districts to draw in moderate voters. And it's pretty hard to argue against at least taking a closer look at a method of determining House seats that might do that.

Donald Glover is a truly multifaceted talent. He is a stand-up comedian. He has written for the NBC show 30 Rock and Comedy Central's The Daily Show, and has attracted significant attention for his role on the NBC show Community. As if that weren't enough, he also raps under the moniker Childish Gambino, and has just released a new album called Camp.
In an interview with Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep, Glover says he made the album for his 13-year-old self. "The things that I said on the album," he says, "I wish I knew when I was younger." He writes from the perspective of a kid who is dismissed as a nerd.
He says that idea makes him a "Woody Allen-esque rapper."
"Everybody is kind of a kid," he says. "I personally don't believe people really grow. They just learn stuff when they were a kid, and hold on to it, and that affects every relationship they have. So the album is about learning the good stuff and taking away the good stuff, and continuing to grow — as opposed to staying 12 years old forever with relationships, which sometimes I feel like I still am."
Glover covers some standard rap topics, plays standard characters (people who are tough, who survive, who think they are "awesome") in his songs, but some of what he tackles is unorthodox for hip-hop. As a rapper, Glover is constantly vulnerable. A lot of Camp addresses the struggles of a black kid trying to find his own identity without succumbing to external social pressures.
It's similar to how he approaches his comedy. "I feel like that's the only reason I'm allowed to do rap and comedy," he says. "It's that they're kind of the same person."
Glover says it can be difficult for young black kids to find their own identity because so much of black popular culture has become uniform. "Black kids are told every day who they are. Every day," he says. Straying too far from the norm, he says, can get you ostracized.
"We put stereotypes on ourselves. Everybody does that. But I think it's just a little harder for black kids to just be who they are," he says. "Television's telling you who you are. Everybody is telling you who you are and who you can be and what your limits are." Including your classmates, black and white.
"It's really hard when you're a black kid and you like a certain thing, but then there's no other black kids like you," Glover says. "And you might even get picked on for who you want to be or who you are — but you're just figuring it out. I felt like high school for me was like a big whirlpool of me trying to figure out what was OK for me to do."
Glover broaches the topic in his song "Hold You Down," an attempt to reveal the absurdity in the predicament:
The black experience is blackened serious,
'Cause being black, in my experience, is no one hearin' us.
White kids get to wear whatever hat they want,
When it comes to black kids, one size fits all.
Of Camp he says, "Hopefully making this thing will make it easier for little Donalds." Childish Gambino isn't your run-of-the-mill rapper; Donald Glover isn't an artist with many peers. He's succeeding in many different venues and doing so while remaining candid.
There's something different about the music of Donald Glover. He's a comedian, a TV writer and an actor in NBC's "Community." He plays a community college student, a former athlete who discovers his inner nerd.
DONALD GLOVER: (as Troy Barnes) (Rapping) Kingdom Anamalia, phylum Chordata...
INSKEEP: And at one point ends up rapping with a friend about the human species.
GLOVER: (as Troy Barnes) (Rapping) ...primate, family, Hominity, the genus is full. But you know you're into me, 'cause I am in the species known a sapien. Dogs used to hate me, but now they bring the paper in.
DANNY PUDI: (as Abed Nadir) It's going to take a lot to get me away from you...
INSKEEP: Now, Donald Glover has put out an album with lyrics from the perspective of a kid who is dismissed as a nerd.
GLOVER: (Rapping) All right, it's childish, baby, Mr. Talk-About-His-(bleep) again nerdy black kid. Whatever, man. I'm sick of him. That well-spoken token who ain't been heard, the only white rapper who's allowed to say the N-word. I buy a bunch...
INSKEEP: The album is called "Camp." He put it out under the name Childish Gambino. And amid the jokes, Donald Glover is seriously thinking of awkward kid he used to be.
GLOVER: I made this album for me when I was 13. Like, the name of it, I said in the album I wish I had known when I was younger.
GLOVER: (Rapping) Am I serious? I don't even know. Are you hearing this? It's laughable. I ain't trying, I'm doing. These other rappers are foolish. I got fame, my A&R is a computer. Is there room in the game for a lame who rhymes? Who wears short-shorts and makes jokes sometimes?
INSKEEP: If I think about other rap lyrics that I've heard, I mean there are few kinds of standard characters who appear with standard messages. Which might be, for example: I'm really great, I'm really tough, I'm a great rapper; or life is very hard, life on the streets is very tough and I'm as tough as I need to be to deal with it.
You, however, take the approach of a young man who is just constantly vulnerable. He's a loser.
GLOVER: Yeah, I mean...
GLOVER: ...totally. I mean like - first of all, thank you.
GLOVER: Second of all, like yeah. Totally, you know, I never, I never really felt like I was like cool or anything like that. And I - also on the album I say all those things that like, you know, quote-unquote, "like regular rappers do." Like, you know, I'm great, I'm awesome, I have sex all the time. I do - you know, like that's there too. But it's all part of the id of just like, you know, everybody feels like they should have the best.
But everybody also constantly feels like, ugh, I'm the worst. Why am I doing this?
GLOVER: I don't like myself. Like - and if they don't, then like, you know, that's me.
GLOVER: (Rapping) This rap stuff is magic. I used to get called Oreo. I used to get more laughs when I got laughed at. Oh, you got a mixed tape? That's fantastic. But everybody thought it was jokes though, they half right, the joke is I got flow so don't act like...
Childish Gambino, I guess would be me, like my failures and my triumphs, ten-fold, you know.
INSKEEP: This is a theme you pursue in both your music and your comedy.
GLOVER: Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that's the only reason I'm allowed to do rap and comedy, is that they're kind of the same person. I've said this before - if I came out with like a rap thing and then it was like, yeah, man - I'm going to shoot a baby. Like it's like people would be like that's not you at all. You know? And it may be right.
INSKEEP: I want to play a clip from a Comedy Central program that you did, where you're talking about black nerds. Let's listen.
GLOVER: The best part about Obama is that he's a black nerd. I love that junk.
GLOVER: 'Cause I'm a black nerd and that (bleep) was illegal until like 2003.
GLOVER: It's so awesome. 'Cause it's like there's black nerds everywhere. You know, like it's awesome. It's just like they're everywhere now. But it was just hard for us growing up. Like, you know, I remember I was the only black kid at my school for a while. And white kids were excited. They were like, oh, we got a black kid, this is awesome.
GLOVER: We got a black kid. They be like, oh, hey. Donald, what kind of rap music you into? And what kind of sneakers you like? And I was like, oh, I don't really like rap music. I really enjoy the soulful stylings of the Cranberries.
GLOVER: We can talk about that. And they were like, no, man. You like sneakers and you like rap music. And you're going to tell us which one you like. I was like, oh, you're hurting me, Steven. You know...
GLOVER: No, that's my life. You know?
INSKEEP: You're playing with stereotypes. And we think of stereotypes as being something that, for example, white people would apply negatively to African-Americans. But what you actually have happening there is white kids who are excited about the stereotypical black person they expected to meet, and they're a little disappointed not to run into that kid.
GLOVER: Oh, yeah. I mean it so happens today, like probably 'cause, you know, I'm not intimidating. Like I'm just talking about, you know, my own stuff.
INSKEEP: You also talk about African-Americans who apply stereotypes to themselves; for example, the stereotype that a black kid is not likely to have a father around the house.
GLOVER: Yeah, I mean black kids are told every day who they are. Like, every day. The thing is like I talked to my dad about it. My dad didn't like really like himself or figure out, like how do I - like, how am I balancing who I am, until he was like, a father of three already. Like, he was just like that's crazy to me.
And, you know, we put stereotypes on ourselves - like, everybody does that. But I think it's just a little harder for black kids to just like, you know, be who they are, because there are people on both sides are telling them who they are all the time. Television is telling you who you are. Like, everybody is telling you who are and who you can be, and what your limits are.
GLOVER: (Rapping) This one kid said something that was really bad. He said I wasn't really black 'cause I had a dad. I think that's really sad, mostly 'cause a lot of black kids think they should agree with that. If you're a father you should stick around if you could. If you think you're bad at it, you get Tiger Woods. MJ. We warriors, we all need sensei's...
It's hard I feel like as a black guy or a black kid, to connect with everybody because the thing is it's just like the only thing that has really been given to us to connect is negative stuff.
INSKEEP: Well, I want to ask about one more lyric that you rap.
(Reading) I always wanted to get picked on the cool team, but alone is exactly how I should be.
Listening to it, I wondered as an adult now, are you comfortable with who you are?
GLOVER: Ah, I don't know. I mean like, I like who I am. Like, I feel like I'm a good person. I work hard - I definitely feel like I do that. But I feel like, you know, I make mistakes all the time. And, you know, I think that line was just like hopefully making this thing will make it easier for little Donalds.
INSKEEP: Well, Donald Glover, it's been a pleasure speaking with you. Thanks very much.
GLOVER: No, thank you.
INSKEEP: His album "Camp," under the name Childish Gambino is out today. You can hear in full until the end of today at NPRMusic.org.

Gina posted these words as a Facebook status update on the 19th anniversary of her HIV diagnosis. We're honored to be able to repost them here on TheBody.com.
On this day in 1994, I was given what I thought was a death sentence. I walked into Charity Hospital's obstetric clinic, made my way to the nurse's office, and immediately knew something wasn't right; she wouldn't look at me. And then she said, "You have AIDS and you're going to die."
It was devastating, embarrassing, and heartbreaking. I'd finally gotten my life on track. I was so afraid of dying AND of having anyone find out my HIV status. I told my mother, sisters, and my children's father ... and no one else. I was also afraid because I was pregnant at this time.
I met an angel named Margot on that same day, she gave me HOPE! She said if I did three things, I could live: attend all doctor's appointments, take meds as prescribed, and learn EVERYTHING I could about HIV/AIDS.
It wasn't always easy but I've always been DETERMINED to live! I gave birth to a healthy baby girl on November 29, 1994 (but just because she wasn't perinatally infected, that does not mean she cannot become behaviorally infected); and I named her Jamanii because it means faith in Jah!
I really grew up after my HIV diagnosis. I became SELFLESS, and I still am selfless. Over the years I've laughed, loved, cried, and argued with other positive women. Lifelong friendships have been formed and I am eternally grateful to all the women who've mentored me over the years, women like Linda Scruggs, Loretta Jennings, Mary Boutte, Deon Heywood, Dazon Dixon Diallo, Pat Nalls, Naina Khanna and my PWN-USA sisters.
Eventually I learned to tell my story in SAFE places (the clinic, HIV conferences, etc.); and then it was time to tell the rest of my family and friends, so I went on TV and disclosed my HIV status. People accepted my status and really showed me that they still loved me regardless of anything else!
I find it amazing that I was born on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, and was diagnosed with HIV on the day of his death. Fast forward to 2013 and here I am, an educated woman with two degrees, a wonderful mother, an awesome, cool GeeGee ("Grandma Gina"), an organizer with a wonderful agency (AIDS United), a board member of the Positive Women's Network of the United States of America (PWN-USA) and an expert on my HIV.
I share this because I know how easy it is to think HIV only happens to "those people." Well I'm here to tell you, HIV can happen to ANYONE who has sex without a condom. HIV does not care what's in your bank account, nor does it care how you look. HIV is a disease of opportunity. If you give it the opportunity, it will come on in! Be safe, be careful and love you enough to Take the Test. Knowing your HIV status is very important, and it could save your life!
I put myself out here because I truly care and would hate to see/hear that you are sick. Life has been really good to me; I have had doors opened for me and try to give back to my community. Jah has Blessed me with 19 years of living this positive life; and all I can say is, "Thank You, Jah!"
Stay tuned y'all; the BEST is yet to come! Next year, if Jah says so, I will be having a 20th-year blowout!
Gina Marie Brown, M.S.W., is a regional organizer at AIDS United. She has worked in the field of HIV/AIDS for over 10 years. She lives in Metairie, La.

We already showed you some collaborative items by mastermind JAPAN and Carhartt WIP for Fall 2013 here, but today we are actually previewing the very last products that will be coming from the two brands, before the official closure of mmJ. Releasing next month, the capsule collection consists of shirts, pants, as well as jackets. Sticking to the black and gold color scheme that the collaboration has always been about, the mastermind JAPAN logo is of course as usual being used heavily. We especially like the two button-down shirts with special fabric inserts. The collection is coming to select retailers on September 28.

Coyote Flats, Vagabond Peak (aka Cloudripper Jr.) (13,374') and The Hunchback (12,311') (06.23-24.2012)
June 23-24, 2012: After gassing up (vehicles with gasoline and humans with coffee) in Bishop, we headed out in a two-Toyota-pickup caravan to Coyote Flats. The ~20 mile run to Baker Creek starts off sandy, then moves on to steep and rocky as it switchbacks up from about 5000ft into the 10,000ft Coyote Flat. It's a challenging but not heart-attack-inducing class II-III 4x4 with views that will knock your socks off (if you have a moment to look up from the road and enjoy them). It took about two hours for us to finish the drive to Baker Creek, where we found a nice campsite and settled in. Both guys were recovering from leg injuries, so I left them at about 10 am to fish the lakes while I headed out to climb Cloudripper and Vagabond Peaks. The wind was howling and as the day went on it only got worse. After successfully reaching the summit of Vagabond (aka Cloudripper Jr) and starting over towards Cloudripper, the winds were strong enough to start knocking my legs out from under me. I had to draw the line between "You got this" and "don't be stupid", so since I was solo I turned back, leaving Cloudripper for another day. On the way back I did tag the easy Hunchback as a consolation prize. We had a nice (but windy) night in camp and enjoyed really warm overnight temps for 10,000 ft. I would really like to get back here for more than an overnight and explore some of the side roads and get in to some other peaks. It's so beautiful up there!

social events are mainly about family history, but they are also an opportunity to raise funds for extra loans through Kiva. If we pass around the hat and ask everyone to contribute their loose change, we usually have enough to make an extra $25 loan.
In Australia we do this via a Kiva lender account called 'GFF Aussie Social Events'. Those of you who meet at genealogy conferences overseas might like to do something similar. Consider this a friendly international challenge!
Wondering whether you know any Genealogists for Families team members? Check the pages showing photos and given names.
If you want to plan an event, there are some interesting suggestions in the Kiva Lending Team Playbook.
With small change collected at our Kiva team's social events in Australia (get-togethers for coffee, lunch or dinner), we have already made forty-two loans in eleven countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Georgia, Honduras, Paraguay, Philippines, Tajikistan and Vietnam). Repayments on those loans are now funding one new loan each month.
Could you organise a get-together in your area? Are you going to a family history fair or on a genealogy cruise where you could hand out 'business cards'? Use that link to design and order 250 FREE cards - you just pay postage.
In 2011 we won an award for Best New Community Project. Join genealogists worldwide (and our relatives and friends) who have found a simple way to make a big difference.
We enable people without access to traditional banks (including many women) to expand their businesses, educate their children, save for the future and raise themselves out of poverty. Through Kiva, a non-profit organisation working with microfinance institutions, you choose a borrower to support with a loan of just $25. Similar loans by other lenders are combined until the required total is reached. As your money is repaid you can withdraw it or lend it to someone else. Money that is loaned over and over again does more good than a one-time donation. Join 'Genealogists for Families' - together we are making a difference!

Genealogy Social Events: an International Challenge

It is a good idea that family events as such could raise funds for the less fortunate. This is very generous of the social event organizer to have come up with ways and means to support the lives of the indigents. This is what making way for more civic- oriented and community-centered socials is all about!ReplyDelete

Team USA finishes with record medal count in cycling
Highlighted by the London 2012 Paralympic Games, called the greatest Games ever by International Paralympic Committee President Sir Philip Craven, 2012 was a thrilling year for the Paralympic Movement in the United States and around the globe. Records were broken and legacies were made. From Dec. 20-31, USParalympics.org will unveil the Top 12 moments of 2012 for U.S. Paralympics in chronological order.
The U.S. Paralympic Cycling Team ended its run at the London 2012 Paralympic Games in fitting fashion on Sept. 8, winning gold in the final event of the cycling program, the mixed H 1-4 team relay with a time of 30:07.
As a team the Americans collected 17 total cycling medals in London – 12 in road cycling and five in track cycling, it marked the most successful Games effort ever for the United States. The 12 medals on the road tied Team USA with Germany for the most medals by any country.
Ten different athletes combined for the record medal count.
The team of Marianna "Muffy" Davis (Sun Valley, Idaho), Matthew Updike (Denver, Colo.) and Oscar Sanchez (Whittier, Calif.) narrowly edged out Italy who finished the 18 KM race with a time of 30:50. Switzerland finished third, but not far behind, finishing in 30:58.
For Davis, the win capped a remarkable few days for the three-time Paralympian. Davis won two other road cycling gold medals (individual H 1-3 road race and H 1-2 time trial) earlier in the Games, making her the most decorated of the U.S. cyclists.
For Sanchez, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, the team win gave him his second medal of the Games, but his first gold. He finished third in the individual H 4 time trial earlier in the week. For Updike, who was participating in his second Games, the win gave him his first ever Paralympic medal.
The U.S. Paralympic Cycling Team wasted little time winning its first medals of the Games on Aug. 30 as track cyclists Allison Jones (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Megan Fisher (Missoula, Mont.) both captured medals on the first day of competition.
To say Jones was excited about winning the first American medal at the Games is an understatement. Upon hearing the news that she was in fact the first American medal winner she let out an excited scream that startled most individuals around her.
"I am so excited," said Jones, who won bronze in the individual C1-3 pursuit. "It was great to see my name on the board and to see my country's flag being raised. It was also great to know that everyone here was cheering for all of us."
Fisher, competing in her first Paralympic Games, kept Jones' momentum going in the next event, the C4 pursuit where she won a silver medal after falling just short against Australia's Susan Powel in the final.
| Joe Berenyi won a gold medal in the individual C3 pursuit.
The success continued on Aug. 31 with Joe Berenyi (Aurora, Ill.). After a hiccup at the starting line due to a mechanical issue, Berenyi was issued a restart and proved his mental toughness by finish atop the podium with a time of 3:36.148 in the individual C3 pursuit. He set the world record earlier in the day during his qualification round.
Retired U.S. Army veteran Jennifer Schuble (Houston, Texas) won the silver medal in the women's individual C4-5 500m time trial on Sept. 1.
"I wanted the gold of course," said Schuble, gold and two-time silver medalist from the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games. "It's the best I've ever ridden, I'm happy."
On Sept. 2, the final day of track cycling at the Games, the American team of Berenyi, Sam Kavanagh (Coram, Mont.) and Schuble collected the U.S. team's fifth medal of the track cycling competition, the first in a team event.
Competing in the mixed C1 to C5 team sprint event, the trio each did their part to secure the bronze medal win over the Czech Republic 52.749 to 54.128, respectively. The win was truly a team effort for the U.S. as each rider had a specific job to perform.
Starting off the race for the Americans was Schuble who knew she needed to set the tone early in the race and did just that with her explosive start.
"For me it was timing the gate, I had to make sure that I counted the clock down in my head and to make sure that I didn't false start," said Schuble. "I had to get out like a rock star because it was up to me to set the pace for my team and I nailed it."
The next rider to take the reins for the U.S. was Kavanagh who was the only rider in the group still without a medal in these Games after falling short on Sept. 1 in the individual C4 pursuit; something that was still weighing heavy on his mind during the race.
"It's unreal, I have been working pretty hard for this and it comes on the back on a difficult day for me yesterday in a personal event that I was favored in and looked good to medal in. So it was a pleasure to come out today and throw down a quality time," said the relieved 32-year-old.
Racing in the final leg was Berenyi who was looking to put the event away which he executed flawlessly, taking off with an incredible burst and never looking back.
"I gave it all I had and I probably looked like I did because my bike was bouncing around so much! I knew I had one shot and I took it," Berenyi said.
For Berenyi it was just about doing his job for the team and helping Kavanagh collect a bronze medal.
"Sam is a good friend and he has been trying for a long time. Sam has been working hard for six years and has put everything into it so I wanted to make sure he got that medal," Berenyi said.
For all three riders, winning a medal in a team event holds a special place.
"This is the most successful we've been on the track," Berenyi said after the final track race. "To be this far ahead without even getting into our strong events which are on the road is amazing."
After U.S. athletes won five medals in track cycling, Team USA nearly matched that total within hours on the road, with four medals in the morning races of road cycling's opening day Sept. 5, including gold medals from Fisher and Jones.
Berenyi won the silver medal in the men's individual C3 time trial, completing his set of medals from the London 2012 Paralympic Games. In the women's individual C5 time trial, Kelly Crowley (San Francisco, Calif.) won bronze.
Davis won gold in the Individual H1-2 Time Trial to kick off the Sept. 5 afternoon races. Monica Bascio (Evergreen, Colo.) won silver in the Individual H3 Time Trial and Sanchez won bronze in the Individual H4 Time Trial.
The United States collected two more bronze medals in road cycling on Sept. 6. Jones won a bronze in the women's individual C 1-3 road race, her third medal of the Games, and Crowley added a bronze in the women's individual C 4-5 road race, her second of the Games.
Davis and Bascio each collected their second road cycling medals of these Games after finishing first and second in Sept. 7's individual H 1-3 road race from Brand's Hatch. Davis finished with a time of 1:41.34 while Davis crossed the line at 1:42.07.

At #BlogHer, a haiku on women and public speaking
At the recent BlogHer conference, one event featured all sorts of handcrafted items--a real contrast to the online and virtual work of the women bloggers in attendance. An artist made sketches; crafters were making hand-assembled buttons. At one station, Momku blogger Alana Reynolds, who blogs haiku about motherhood, had been given a tiny blue portable manual typewriter on which to compose haiku for the meeting's attendees. I told her my blog was about women and public speaking, or just speaking up. She thought about it for a few minutes, then hunt-and-pecked out this gem for me to take away:

Zebco is not a name you normally associate with automobiles, but the fishing reel company recently threw their in-house designers, engineers and machinists into a soapbox derby contest with spectacular results. Set aside memories of the best lazy summers you ever had in your youth, avoiding chores, floating the river in a leaky boat fishing with your buddies, because rods and reels and worm guts this ain't.
The Great Sand Springs Soapbox Derby held in Sand Springs, OK, is an event used to raise money for the Sand Springs (surprise!) Civiton Club, which will renovate a park for special-needs kids. Zebco decided to go in for a pound and managed to score the fastest time through the traps, despite just missing out on a win in head-to-head racing. They may not have finished at the top of the podium this year, but that's not really the point: it is for charity, after all. We imagine they'll be back next year with a renewed fire in their belly and resin under their fingertips. We wonder how Wert would feel if we took some time for a nice fall fishing trip. Press release follows.
ZEBCO THE TRUSTED NAME IN FISHING REELS BUILDS A GRAVITY RACER TO RIVAL VOLVO. Zebco Enters The Great Sand Springs Soapbox Derby With A Stunning Example Of Technology And Ingenuity. What do you do when asked to compete in a local soapbox derby for charity? You make a car worthy of racing against the likes of the Lotus and Volvo gravity cars. Zebco the maker of America's Favorite Fishing Reel the Zebco 33, called in the troops to design, and build an example of the technologies going into their Quantum, and Fin-Nor lines of fishing reels all after hours and on weekends. The team building the car named themselves the Zebco Skunkworks since the project was kept quiet from the public and race officials until the car was ready for the race. "This unique vehicle is constructed using a combination of cutting edge design, manufacturing and materials. "The number 63 car began life as a computer generated model developed using Pro Engineer software. After analyzing the race rules, the direction for the vehicle was set as a body on frame design using a three wheel configuration. By measuring the driver's height, width and vision needs a body envelop was developed. In addition, the objectives of low aerodynamic drag, and simple manufacture were established. These dimensions and specifications were then transferred to the industrial designers to shape the body. The resulting model was rapid prototyped at 1:12 scale, using an Objet Eden machine for visual reference. The files were also, transferred to a plotter. The plotted drawings gave the fabrication team a life sized set of cross sections and profiles from which to begin the body's construction." according to Pete Sandretto Lead Engineer on the project. Using composite materials, an extruded aluminum frame, high end recumbent bicycle wheels, and components the Zebco 63 car was deemed the fastest car at the first annual Sand Springs Soapbox Derby in Sand Springs Oklahoma by everyone who saw it race. The race, over 2 city blocks down Main Street brought out 107 cars made by everyone from engineering students to the average joe. "Zebco raised the bar on this, and next years Sand Springs Soapbox Derby. Hopefully, next year we will see some entries from the local aerospace companies in Tulsa. We put so much into this gravity racer that we would love to take on Lotus or Volvo since their cars inspired the Zebco 63 car." commented Brad Ruprecht leader of the Zebco Skunkworks team. Official dates are being set for next years Sand Springs Soapbox Derby, however Zebco is looking for additional competitions they can compete in. There is also talk of a second car pulled from the same body molds but with improved components and an improved tubular frame.

I've been watching Nigel Davies (pronounced Davis) on French Defense Strategy, proofreading the manuscript for the next Purdy book, dipping into the Lars Bo Hansen books, etc., and more etc. They all think pretty much alike. Club players are all over the map.
As I say in the review of Davies DVD for The Chess Reports, when you know a lot of the basics, like the stronger players do, they have to risk more to beat you. In risk comes chances. When a 2100 has fallen to his floor of 1900 he sometimes forgets what propelled him to 2100. When he re-establishes that (by, for example, looking over his games when he was a 2100), his skill level once again starts to rise.
How can you be more focused? In my case, and I am sure many others, it happens when you force yourself to do something. Force yourself, self-discipline, goal setting. I've been doing more of that WITHOUT the New Year's Resolution bit because you can start NOW instead of tomorrow. Tomorrow means lack of focus. Jeremy Silman told me once the biggest weakness he has noticed in the performance of average players was "their lack of focus."
I'm amazed at what I am learning--stuff I should've already known. And if none of that helps you much, try one more thing (besides improving your health), "take your time" when thinking.

Boldly going where we've been before: Progressive income tax nothing new for Colorado
The backers of Amendment 66, the proposal to increase Colorado's income tax to raise $950 million for public schools, will ask voters to make a radical change in the state's tax structure.
They'll ask voters to change it back to the way it used to be.
Well, sort of. Colorado's tax structure used to be even more radical than what the Amendment 66 crowd is proposing.
Under Amendment 66, the state's individual income tax would jump from its current, flat 4.63 percent to 5 percent on the first $75,000 of income and then 5.9 percent on income earned after that.

PARIS and TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sanofi (EURONEXT: SAN and NYSE: SNY) and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced that the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial, a Phase 3 cardiovascular outcomes trial (CVOT) with SAR236553/REGN727 is now recruiting patients. SAR236553/REGN727 is an investigational subcutaneously administered, fully-human antibody that is being evaluated for its impact on lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by targeting PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9).
The ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial will enroll approximately 18,000 patients, who recently suffered an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), from 49 countries across six continents. With the start of this study, eleven trials are now recruiting in the global SAR236553/REGN727 Phase 3 program.
"Despite widespread use of statin therapy, many patients at risk do not reach recommended targets for LDL. Even among those who do reach targets, further LDL lowering may further reduce the risks of coronary heart disease (CHD) death, myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke," said Ph. Gabriel Steg M.D., Professor of Cardiology at the Hopital Bichat-Claude Bernard in Paris, France, and co-Chair of the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES Steering Committee. "The ODYSSEY cardiovascular (CV) outcomes trial will test the efficacy and safety of SAR236553/REGN727 added to maximal doses of statins in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with recent ACS, a population at high risk of CV events despite best contemporary therapy."
ODYSSEY OUTCOMES is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-national study. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of SAR236553/REGN727 on the incidence of cardiovascular events in patients who have experienced an ACS and are not at their LDL-C goal. Patients will receive either a 1-milliliter (mL) injection of 75 milligrams (mg) of SAR236553/REGN727 or placebo every two weeks, in addition to their background of optimized lipid-lowering therapy. If patients do not reach a predetermined LDL-C goal with the 75 mg dose they will be up-titrated to a dose of 150 mg, also delivered as a 1 mL injection. The primary endpoint is a composite of coronary heart disease (CHD) death, non-fatal MI, fatal and non-fatal ischemic stroke, and unstable angina requiring hospitalization. ODYSSEY OUTCOMES is being conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreed upon with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
About the Ongoing Phase 3 ODYSSEY ProgramThe broad Phase 3 ODYSSEY program is underway and will be conducted across more than 2,000 study centers across the United States, Canada, Western and Eastern Europe, South America, Australia and Asia. In addition to ODYSSEY OUTCOMES, the Phase 3 ODYSSEY program includes the following studies:
Based on the cumulative efficacy and safety data from the SAR236553/REGN727 Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical studies, 75 mg and 150 mg Q2W doses were chosen to be tested in the Phase 3 program. The selection of these doses was also supported by information from current lipid treatment guidelines and data from large, completed CV event trials that have demonstrated a correlation between the degree of LDL-C lowering and the resultant lowered risk for CV events.
Further information about the initiated Phase 3 studies can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov.
About PCSK9
PCSK9 is known to be a determinant of circulating LDL-C levels, as it binds to LDL receptors resulting in their degradation so that fewer are available on liver cells to remove excess LDL-C from the blood. Moreover, traditional LDL-lowering therapies such as statins actually stimulate the production of PCSK9, which limits their own ability to lower LDL-C. Blocking the PCSK9 pathway is therefore a potentially novel mechanism for lowering LDL-C.
About SAR236553/REGN727
SAR236553/REGN727, created using Regeneron's VelocImmune® technology, is a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting PCSK9, administered via subcutaneous injection. By inhibiting PCSK9, a determinant of circulating LDL-C levels in the blood, SAR236553/REGN727 has been shown in pre-clinical studies to increase the number of LDL receptors which can clear circulating LDL-C from the bloodstream.

Alfred T. Agate
Date: 1812 - 1846
Remarks: Alfred T. Agate was the son of Thomas and Hannah Agate, natives of England. In 1831, he went to New York City to live with his older brother Frederick Styles Agate, who was also an artist. That year, Alfred became a member of the National Academy of Design, and he also exhibited his work at the Academy for the first time. He was active as a painter of miniatures until 1838 when he joined the controversial around-the world expedition of Lt. Charles Wilkes as its "portrait and botanical artist." On the voyage he visited Australia and numerous islands of the South Pacific; in January 1840, the Wilkes expedition surveyed the Antarctic continent, and Agate was present to make drawings of the largely unknown region. The drawings from the trip were later used to illustrate Wilke's Narrative of the United States Exploring Expedition, published in 1844, two years before the artist's death.

Los Angeles prosecutors want to delay disclosure of coroner and fire department records on Michael Jackson's death to parties in a civil suit to prevent media leaks before the trial of his doctor.
The request came in a brief filed Wednesday in a suit by Lloyd's of London insurance company, which is challenging a claim for $17.5 million by concert promoter AEG Live.

U.S. & World
The company, which insured Jackson for his ill-fated "This Is It" concert, says it wasn't told he was taking drugs before his 2009 death.
Prosecutors say release of records including autopsy photos of Jackson would impact the involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray. They say leaks of the materials to media would contaminate prospective jurors with exposure to potentially inadmissible evidence.

– Melissa Urban, SteadyMD Patient & Co-Founder of Whole30
Based on your medical needs, personal interests, goals, and other important parts of your life, we will partner you with the SteadyMD doctor that is perfect for you.
You and your doctor will connect over two-way video chat for about an hour. You'll really get to know each other and together, develop a plan to monitor and manage your health.
Call, text, or video chat your doctor anytime. Every conversation continues where you left off. Your doctor knows you, is always at hand, and is part of your life.
During your first appointment, you and your doctor will:
Call, text, or video chat your doctor anytime, on any device. Every conversation continues where you left off. Your doctor knows you, is always at hand and is part of your life.
If you get sick or injured, your doctor is here to help. In minutes, they can prescribe medications and have them sent to your local pharmacy. At no additional cost, your doctor can consult with a team of specialists including dermatologists, cardiologists, and neurologists. If needed, your doctor will refer you to a specialist near you and will oversee all of your care.
Proactive preventative care, too. Based on your age, goals and personal medical situation, your doctor will recommend ways to catch small problems before they turn into big problems.
You and your SteadyMD doctor see the big picture and also the small daily details:
Although Dr. Henriksen is a Whole30 Certified Coach, he is not actively coaching at this time so he can focus on practicing medicine. If you are looking for a Coach to help motivate, guide, and hold you accountable during your Whole30, please visit the list of Whole30 Certified Coaches here, or ask Dr. Henriksen for a referral.
SteadyMD is designed for anyone who does not have a primary care doctor, or has a primary care doctor but is looking for more convenient and more personalized care.
Because we are online, we can pair you with a doctor who focuses on your specific medical conditions (such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and hypothyroidism), dietary preferences (Paleo, Whole30, vegetarian, gluten-free), and lifestyle (weightlifting, running, cycling)
Contact with your SteadyMD doctor is completely through secure text, phone, and video chat.
With modern technology, we are able to treat most acute and chronic conditions, completely online.
In fact, we believe that our care is often much better than traditional care because your SteadyMD doctor can give you more time and attention. Additionally, your doctor is available at your convenience. No driving or waiting.
If your SteadyMD doctor thinks you should be seen in person, they will direct you to a local specialist or urgent care facility, request the records, and, if necessary, go over all the details with you. If lab tests are needed, you will be directed to a local testing facility.
You can securely text your SteadyMD doctor anytime. Your doctor will respond to their text messages at various points throughout the day. Also, you may schedule a same-day phone call or video chat appointment.
Yes. All of our doctors are licensed physicians and can prescribe a wide range of medications available in a traditional office setting.
We do not prescribe opioids, narcotics, and other controlled substances (but can coordinate your care with a specialist when these are necessary).
Just like a traditional primary care doctor. We will send you to Quest, LabCorp, or any other convenient local facility. Your SteadyMD doctor will get the results right away, review them with you, and follow up as needed.
You would run these visits through your health insurance. If you don't have insurance, we can help you get a discounted cash price.
No. All you need is a computer or smartphone. The device must have a reliable internet connection and a camera (for video chat).
We offer a Family Plan that provides care for you, your spouse, and your children.
You can start with an Individual Plan and upgrade to a Family Plan at any time. If you're interested in this, please mention it to your SteadyMD doctor after you become a member.
Traditional primary care doctors simply don't have time for you. They have about 2,500 patients and must see about 30 patients per day to meet their quota. The average patient visit? 15 minutes.
SteadyMD is a completely new approach to primary care. Our doctors see a limited number of patients, so they can give you the time and attention you deserve. Our service is completely online, which means that you get comprehensive, personalized care from anywhere in the world, on any device. Your SteadyMD doctor is your partner in health, long-term.
On demand doctor services are generally not setup to allow patients to form long-lasting relationships with their doctors. Typically, when you use an on-demand doctor app you are paired with a random doctor who does not know you or your medical history. In contrast, with SteadyMD, you are always connected with the same doctor (hopefully for many years), who really knows you and the specific issues that are relevant to your care.
Most concierge doctors charge between $2,000 and $5,000 per year and are setup to see patients in-person at their office. SteadyMD is more affordable and our doctors are fully-geared to efficiently communicate with patients via phone, text, and video chat. Also, SteadyMD enables you to partner with a doctor that is specifically suited to you, instead of one that just happens to be local to your area.
The SteadyMD doctors are board-certified physicians that have been selected because of their focus on building relationships and providing quality long-term care to their patients.
Yes. The entire SteadyMD platform is secure and HIPAA compliant (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) to ensure that the communication with your SteadyMD doctor remain a private matter between the two of you. Your information is stored on our secure servers and we take every measure to ensure your privacy and the safety of your data.
We will connect you to another SteadyMD doctor. With your permission, this SteadyMD doctor will be fully enabled to review all of your records and history.
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Later, inform your SteadyMD doctor of your emergency and they will help oversee and monitor your care.
Your SteadyMD doctor is your personal online doctor for everything, including:
Choose the plan that's right for you
Per Month
Per Month
We now offer a comprehensive functional medicine plan that uses gut microbiome, hormone, micronutrient, and other testing (as appropriate). This plan is especially suited for patients who want to address a chronic illness or do a "deep dive" with a doctor trained in functional medicine.
SteadyMD is $99 to $169 per month for a twelve month membership. There are no additional fees or co-pays.
There is no risk and no long-term commitment required to get started. You may cancel anytime within the first month and you will only be billed for that one month.
This gives you the opportunity to have your first appointment with your SteadyMD doctor, get comfortable with them, and ensure that they are a good fit for you.
The SteadyMD annual membership allows our doctors to serve a limited number of patients and have significantly more time to dedicate to each patient. Our doctors have more time to think about you and develop a personal relationship with you.
Yes. The SteadyMD membership fee enables us to provide a level of personalized service (via our doctors and technology) that is not typically reimbursed by most insurers.
Yes. In most cases, the fee can be reimbursed by health savings accounts (HSA's), flexible spending accounts (FSAs), medical savings accounts (MSAs), and health reimbursement accounts (HRAs).
If requested by your benefits administrator, we will provide you with a Statement of Services.
Please note that the fee cannot be paid using your HSA, FSA, MSA, or HRA debit or credit card. You will have to manually submit your claim.
You should keep your health insurance so that you are covered in case of a medical emergency.
Also, your SteadyMD doctor may refer you to a local lab or local specialist when needed. You would want to run those visits through your health insurance. We will help you find providers who take your insurance.
If you don't have insurance, we can help you get a discounted cash price on prescriptions, bloodwork, and labs.
Some of our patients save money by downgrading their health insurance plan (e.g. from a Gold Plan to a Silver Plan) or by participating in a Medical Cost Sharing program.
When your SteadyMD doctor prescribes medications, refers you to a local lab, or refers you to a specialist near you, we will help you find the best available price and provider. We can help you decide whether or not to pay directly or run these through your insurance.
Some specialist visits can be handled completely online and at no cost to you. Your SteadyMD doctor has access to a team of specialists that they can consult with anytime when needed.
As part of the Family Plan, your same trusted SteadyMD doctor is available to care for your children. Text, phone, and video chat about your kids when life demands it.
When possible, skip the hassle of visiting the pediatrician. Get the advice and guidance you need, quickly and conveniently.
Within your secure SteadyMD Chat, you will have a dedicated channel for each of your kids. You will control all communication.
Please note that this care is a supplement to your child's in-person pediatrician, and not a replacement. Your SteadyMD doctor will not be prescribing medications or ordering labs for your children.
Later, If needed, your older kids (ages 14 and up) can upgrade and get their very own SteadyMD membership (at a special discount). When they do, all of their communications will be kept private between them and their SteadyMD doctor.
Yes. After you become a member, just let us know and we'll set that up for you.
$29 per month adds care for all of your children.
We'd love to help! Don't hesitate to reach out at any time. Email our team at email@example.com or call us at (800) 449-4280.

I have bought a brand new watch, a rare occurence for me.
A long time ago (it seems, but actually only March past year) I read a very good post on WUS (I know, there aren't that many) detailing the very impessive efforts of an Italian Oil Engineer (and part-time pilot and rifle marksman) to make his own pilot watch, using the A13-A military cockpit clock/chronograph as his model, fitted into what appreared to be an IWC-Fliegerchronograph-inspired case.
A man after my own heart, he wanted a super clear central minutes/seconds chronograph. Like me, he would have preferred to use the Lemania 5100 to achieve this, but in its demise, he realised that the quartz ETA 251.262 (or latest variant, the 264) was his easiest alternative.
What was most impressve about his WUS-post was that this was no drawing he was showing us, no 3-D render.
He had successfully made an incredibly impressive-looking fully functional prototype with this movement, which was his daily wearer while he figured out improvements.
By August Paolo had got so many encouraging replies (and PMs no doubt) from WUS members (myself included) that he had generated a spreadsheet to consider whether he could make a limited run to supply those who wanted one. The limited run had to stand on its feet, but could also lead to a longer production run if successful.
By December he realised he could do it, he had set up a company and was working on a website, as well as final design tweeks to the hands and crown.
I should stress that Paolo himself has done all of this, he has quietly determined that the A13-A is to be his version, not one arrived at by a committee of posters on WUS. All editting suggestions were politely dismissed and he ploughed on.
We have discussed it here in the Lemania forum as well.
February saw the launch of the website (and FB page) and the call for 50 deposits, a minimum of 75 needed to start a production run.
75 deposits were paid in a few days. Not in minutes as some kickstarters are, but that's probably due to the limited online presence in one WUS post and a nascent FB page.
The "brave" 75 sat back to wait.
A programme was quickly issued suggesting a July delivery, we were underway. July seemed unlikely to me, as I have been in Italy over the summer, and know how little gets done.
Inevitably the programme slipped some (notably over Baselworld when suppliers took on other new work), and on through the invisible Italian August into September, and now Paolo seems to be assembling about 2 batches of 12 each week at his chosen Milan watchmakers.
I was 17th in the list, and on Friday I was asked for the remaining 95% of funds (the deposit level was impressively low with no mid-stage payment).
I paid up, and as of this morning, it is here.
I know a few are interested here (some have even ordered I think), so what's my impression of one man's mission?
I am impressed. I mean that. I am properly, hand on chin, quiet nod of approval, impressed.
In his spare time Paolo has managed to produce a winner.
The size is within the larger end of perfect for me, 42mm diameter, and quite long (lug to lug 52mm). With downturned lugs it fits the wrist beautifully. My wrist is 7 1/4", for reference.
The quartz movement allows the whole watch to be thin enough to wear easily.
The dial is lovely, with the outside step up to the 0-60 scale to reduce parallax error. The satin black is very lovely to look at, with a nice level of gentle reflection, but not enough to distract.
The custom sapphire shallow-domed crystal shows that off, with a few blue hints from the AR.
The main hands are instantly readable and have no date window to obscure.
This absence of calendar also make the watch perfect to just grab and go. Up to 72 month battery life is impressive too.
All the hands are perfect length, just about to touch the scale without doing so, the chrono hands especially.
I like the way the counterbalances obscure A-13A to read AA when at rest.
100m WR is perfecty practical for all occasions.
The movement hour-hacks, so timezone travel is easily adjusted for.
And as some may know, you can even pre-set the chrono hands to create a countdown, relatively simply.
The stealth signature at the top, and simple branding below, keep the exact dial layout that specifcation MIL-C-6499. I am glad it wears its "Made in Italy" with pride too.
The "pump" pushers are a nice touch, and a nod to IWC.
The overall case shape is elegant and restrained, with brushed top and sides. It is interesting that there is no separate bezel, the crystal surround is part of the main case. The brand's wing design is engraved on the crown, and suitably mil-inspired info engraved to the rear.
And the custom order Morellato cordura strap suits it very well.
All the numerals and hands are in bright white to contrast with the black dial, and only quarter markers and the hands are lumed, although from looking at it in sunlight it is hard to tell.
It even comes packaged with a full set of O-ring seals (crystal, pushers, crown and caseback) for future maintenance.
Do I have any gripes yet? No. Well, maybe I would have preferred drilled lugs. Perhaps stronger lume? But these are small points, and that's it. It's a short list.
I think this one man's mission can be deemed a success. Well done Paolo.
I know he didn't write MIL-C-6499, so one could see this as some type of homage.
But, he has been the only one to turn this iconic milspec cockpit clock into a watch.
And he has done it with great elan. What I especially like is the restraint in the design. Like the Pelagos, this watch really doesn't include any frippery. It is purposeful.
His vision, tenacity and style mean he really does deserve to make a success of this venture. Good luck to him.
I see from my serial number that it is XX/500, indicating significantly more than the original 75 being planned for this production run. There could be one available if you fancy one.
If Paolo ever decides to do an automatic one based on the 5100, I will subscribe to that too.
I could even send him a donor watch for the movement.........
Some photos
Firstly, the watch with its inspiration, an A13-A clock (of course, being mine, it has to be a Nero Lemania one)

I seem to have accidentally written a horror story, or close enough to one that it's coming out in Black Static's latest issue, in a week or so. Here's the cover splash, courtesy of TTA.
For fans of the genre, Black Static gets consistently great reviews from around the horror zine scene, so it's an honour to appear there. The big question will be, will I have the nerve to read the rest of the issue?
In other fiction-writing news, my story from last year Sleepers has been picked up to appear… elsewhere. Details on that when it comes out.

For development of large models that use model referencing for system componentization, Simulink® Cache can be leveraged in a design workflow to improve team's productivity, speed up first time builds, and obtain simulation results faster. Simulink Cache contains the build artifacts which can now be shared and reused across the team. Within a system model hierarchy, the cache files are created for each model that generates rapid accelerator or model reference SIM targets. Performance benefits of reusing Simulink Cache can be significant for large models, projects, and teams.

Dont expect the Wolverines to waste any time Saturday at the CHSAA Class 3A, Region 3 Volleyball Championships in Bayfields cozy home gymnasium.
We have to start strong from the beginning, Bayfield head coach Kelley Rifilato said this week as she prepared the Wolverines for the newly formatted three-team regional that will send one representative to the state championships.
I told our kids that in the past, we have been slow to start. Not now. Its one and done ... thats it. Same thing at state, Rifilato said.
The Wolverines (20-3) were seeded third in the 36-team CHSAA Class 3A Girls Volleyball State Championships, earning one of the 12 host designations in the new statewide qualifying process.
Bayfield will play No. 34 Trinidad, a late qualifier with a 7-14 record, at 9 a.m. Saturday.
No. 22 Jefferson Academy of Broomfield (13-10) will play Trinidad at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The final match of the regional will pit Bayfield against Jefferson Academy at noon.
Every point, every set, will be critical, Rifilato said; they could determine tiebreakers.
Weve got to win at the start. Weve got to win (the second match). No second chances, only No. 1 goes to state, she said of the new 12-team state championships that will feature three-team pools.
Bayfield will open against a Trinidad team that qualified with late power points.
The Miners will treat their fans to a Saturday doubleheader in Bayfield. After the Trinidad volleyball team plays in its regional at the BHS gym in the morning, the Trinidad football team will face the No. 3-ranked BHS football team in a 2 p.m. playoff game at Wolverine Country Stadium.
Another team I worry about is Jeffrerson Academy, Rifilato said of the school that finished in the middle of the rugged Metro League, where teams play notoriously tough schedules sprinkled with 4A and 5A teams.
Rifilato said Jefferson Academy faced tough opponents every week, in conference and out.
The Wolverines have countered with their own powerhouse out-of-conference schedule this year, including victories over Class 4A Mullen and Silver Creek (Longmont) last weekend at the Palmer Ridge Invitational in Monument.
Bayfields only losses this season came against Highlands Ranch (17-6), ranked No. 8 in Colorado Class 5A, and twice to Piedra Vista of Farmington (18-1), the No. 1-ranked Class 4A team in New Mexico.
Rifilato said the Wolverines wont face a brutally long schedule like last weekend at Palmer Ridge, when they played three matches (12 sets) in one day.
Last weekend, our kids were exhausted, Rifilato said.
We were so tired (in a 3-2 win over Mullen), our kids were making ridiculous mental errors. And to come back from that and find a way to win, that was the biggest thing for us.
We know we will not have that (schedule) at regionals or at state, Rifilato said.
Part of the reason CHSAA changed the volleyball qualifying process and the state tournament was to avoid awkward schedules on Saturdays at the state championships at the Denver Coliseum, something that hit both Bayfield and Durango last year.
Rifilato has led Bayfield to the 3A state tournament four consecutive years, including last year when they finished tied for third. This is the first year shes brought BHS to the playoffs without one of her daughters, Gabriella and Katherine Rifilato, whom both now play for Adams State in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
Other Class 3A qualifying tournaments Saturday are scheduled at 11 other host sites, including No. 1 Valley (23-0) and No. 2 Platte Valley (17-6), both of the powerhouse Patriot League. Also hosting, No. 4 Greeley University (16-7), giving the Patriot League three of the top four seeds in the 3A field.
Gunnison (20-3) is No. 5, with Eaton (17-6), the defending state champion from the Patriot League, at No. 6.
The other host schools: No. 7 Sterling (13-10), No. 8 St. Marys (22-1), No. 9 Holy Family (14-9), No. 10 Colorado Springs Christian (16-7), No. 11 Roaring Fork (20-3) and No. 12 Manitou Springs (17-6).
The 12 winners will move on to Denver and the state tournament Nov. 9-10 at the Pepsi Center.

This section describes working with the Panoramic Image viewer to render spherical panoramic images for an immersive 360° viewing experience of a room, property, location, or landscape.
See also Managing Viewer Presets.
For an uploaded asset to qualify as a spherical panorama image that you intend to use with the Panoramic Image viewer, the asset must have either one or both of the following:
- An aspect ratio of 2.
You can override the default aspect ratio setting of 2 in CRXDE Lite at the following:
- Tagged with the keywords equirectangular, or spherical and panorama, or spherical and panoramic. See Using Tags.
Both the aspect ratio and keyword criteria apply to panoramic assets for the asset details page and the "Panoramic Media" WCM component.
To upload assets for use with the Panoramic Image viewer, see Uploading Assets.
For the Panoramic Image viewer to work properly within AEM, you must synchronize the Panoramic Image viewer presets with Dynamic Media Classic (Scene7) and Dynamic Media Classic (Scene7)-specific metadata so the viewer presets get updated in the JCR. To accomplish this, configure Dynamic Media Classic (Scene7) in the following manner:
Under the Request Attributes heading, locate Reply Image Size Limit. Then, in the associated Width and Height fields, increase the maximum allowable image size for panoramic images.
Dynamic Media Classic (Scene7) has a limit of 25,000,000 pixels. The maximum allowable size for images with a 2:1 aspect ratio is 7000 x 3500. However, for typical desktop screens, 4096 x 2048 pixels is sufficient.
Only images that fall within the maximum allowable image size are supported. Requests for images that are above the size limit will result in a 403 response.
If you dropped an image into the Panoramic Media component in your WCM and the component placeholder collapsed, you may want to troubleshoot the following:
- If you experience a 403 Forbidden error, it may have been caused by the requested image size being too large. Review the Reply Image Size Limit settings in Configuring Dynamic Media Classic (Scene7).
- For an "Invalid lock" on the asset or "Parsing error" displayed on the page, check Request Obfuscation Mode and Request Locking Mode to ensure they are disabled.
- For a tainted canvas error, setup a Rule Set Definition File Path and Invalidate CTN for the previous requests for the image asset.
- If image quality becomes very low after an image request with sizing above the supported limit, check that the JPEG Encoding Attributes > Quality setting is not empty. A typical setting for the Quality field is 95. You can find the setting on the Image Server Publish page. To access the page, see Configuring Dynamic Media Classic (Scene7).
See Previewing Assets.
See Publishing Assets.
