Login to CrackBerry.com and leave a comment to this blog post for your chance to possibly win a BlackBerry Storm 2. Full Contest Details Below!
There's lots of buzz around the interwebs today that the BlackBerry Storm 2 could be hitting store shelves much sooner than most of us would think, with rumors suggesting a release as early as before the end of this month or sometime in June. As much as I would LOVE for this to pan out to be true, my CrackBerry gut says we'll all have to wait a little longer than that to get our hands on a store-purchased model.
Our best info right now slates pre-production of the next generation Storm (which RIM internally refers to by the codename BlackBerry "Odin") to begin early next month and from there an official release is usually a couple months out (VZW's technical acceptance process usually takes 2-3 weeks on a device, so even if they approved it off the first pre-production run we'd still be looking at July). And this is Verizon were talking about here... the pickiest of the carriers... who also have the BlackBerry Tour 9630 to roll out still and after a less-than-stellar Storm 1 experience won't want to put out Storm 2 until it's ready. And they won't want to stack the 9630/Storm 2 releases too close to eachother. At this point, I'd rate a May release as impossible, a June launch as potentially possible but improbable, a July release as targeted/more realistic but tight (think end of the month, fingers crossed), an August launch as more likely but if you throw in the usual BlackBerry/Verizon delays then I wouldn't even be suprised to see it launch later than that. As always in the world of BlackBerry, all will be known with time.
Storm 2 Before the End of June Contest: Let's have some fun here! I'd love to see a June launch happen. I really would. I just don't think it will. So to that end, we'll take a gamble and run one helluva contest.... LEAVE a comment to this blog post. For every day that the BlackBerry Storm 2 is on sale in the month of June 2009 we'll give one away to a CrackBerry member. So if the Storm 2 is available for purchase on June 1st, we'll give away 30 Storm 2's over the course of the month. If it's available on June 15th, we'll give away 16. If it's available on the 30th, we'll give away one. And if it doesn't go up for sale in June at all, we'll give away none. Should make for an interesting month, huh? Leave a comment for your chance to win!

When Can I Have My Life Back?
Editor's Note- God disciplines His children for their good. Any loving parent knows this. When a person turns from their sins, God forgives immediately, but their full return to life as they knew it before might take a while, or, may never happen. That doesn't mean that life after discipline and repentance can't be good, indeed, it will be good….but may we not dictate to God what that ought to look like or when it should happen. Rather, may we believe that God will do what it right and good, and that He will do it at the perfect time.
Psalm 85
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 Lord, You have been favorable to Your land; You have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
Lord, you have been merciful to us. We were in Babylon because of our sins. I was away from my good life, my family, my friends, everything that I loved. I lost my job. You have disciplined us in your love, and now that time of discipline is over. Thank you.
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people; You have covered all their sin. Selah
3 You have taken away all Your wrath; You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger.
You have forgiven us. You no longer see the sins that caused us to be taken away. Thank you that that season is over.

"Water, water and water."
Those, State Sen. Michael Rubio (D-Shafter) told the crowd at a Municipal Water District of Orange County event Wednesday evening, are the "top three most important issues" facing California's Legislature.
But even as chairman of the Senate Environmental Quality Committee and a native of the Central Valley — where fights over water can be something of a blood sport — Rubio said he's still only "scratched the surface" of one of the state's biggest puzzles.
Rubio was the keynote speaker at the policy forum and dinner in the Westin South Coast Plaza Hotel's Costa Mesa room. MWDOC is a wholesale water supplier that works with smaller agencies around the county to distribute water.
The event also honored Jim Blake, former director of MWDOC.
In his talk, which he gave before catching a late flight out of John Wayne Airport, Rubio said building a Peripheral Canal system to move water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is "the single most important project in the state."
He also stressed that although it undoubtedly will be a contentious undertaking as legislators jockey to retain big pieces of California's water pie for their regions, there should be continuity throughout the water system.
Rubio said other tough water-related tasks ahead include work on the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, which aims to restore the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and getting a water bond passed.
Though those challenges have "plagued the state for years," what's different now, he said, is the Democratic supermajority in the Legislature — meaning inaction can't be blamed on Republicans stymieing the process.
Furthermore, he said, "We have a governor who's proved he can get some stuff done." And he added, "I think this governor has learned from the past."
MWDOC Director Larry Dick commended Rubio for making strong efforts to understand water issues.
He said that while most Orange County residents don't think too much about where their water comes from, it's important to realize that much of their water comes from outside the county — roughly 50%.
This, he said, is largely because the county doesn't have much ground water.
"You try to drill a well in Newport Beach, you get sea water," he said.
Still, in spite of the issue's complexities, Dick said, "I'm delighted to know the senator is aware of these things and he's willing to work with us."

With the second overall pick in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, Vancouver Whitecaps FC today selected Jamaican striker Darren Mattocks from the University of Akron. A speedy goalscorer with game-changing qualities, Mattocks signed a Generation adidas contract with Major League Soccer on December 20, 2011.
WATCH: MLSsoccer.com interview Darren Mattocks
"Darren has great pace and an ability to get behind the opposition," said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. "He has power, athleticism, and a good eye for the goal, which is always hard to find. He also brings a solid scoring record and we are extremely pleased we were able to select Darren."
Mattocks, 21, comes to Vancouver after two outstanding seasons with Akron. As a sophomore, the 6-foot, 155-pound striker finished second in scoring in NCAA Division I with 21 goals in 22 appearances with the Zips. The Caribbean forward's efforts made him a semifinalist for the 2011 Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) Hermann Trophy as the top male player in NCAA Division I soccer. He was named Mid-American Conference (MAC) Player of the Year and to the All-MAC First Team for a second straight year.
"This will be my first time coming to Canada, so I'm very excited," said Mattocks. "It's always going to be a challenge coming to a new environment, but hopefully, I can adjust quickly and show my stuff."
As a freshman, Mattocks was named MAC Newcomer of the Year after finishing third in NCAA Division I scoring (second among freshmen) with 18 goals in 25 appearances for the Zips in 2010. The striker's efforts that year earned him Freshman All-American honours with College Soccer News, Goal.com, Soccer America, and Top Drawer Soccer.
A native of Portmore, Jamaica, Mattocks is currently a member of the Jamaican U-23 Olympic team player pool.

Open Data + Urban Transport = ?
For fun, suppose you were a software developer, and you came up with a terrific idea to communicate public transit information. For example, imagine your city experiences frequent floods, and you have devised an automated system that sends SMS texts to passengers, advising them of alternative transit routes during emergencies.
How much revenue do you think you could earn for that software? How many people could you positively impact?
What if I told you that today, by taking advantage of one tiny revolution in open data, you could take those numbers and multiply them by 350, turning $100,000 into $35 million, or 1 million people into 350 million? Sounds pretty good, right? If you are in international development, sounds like a promotion…

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Chambara' tag.
The Wu-Tang Clan created a unique sound in the 90s by sampling old kung fu movies into violent but passionate hip-hop lyrics — there was a combination of the east and west that was slightly more celebratory than the other east/west mashup where 90s rap is concerned. This fusion of martial arts' philosophical themes and styles with the poetic and hard-hitting music creates a fascinating aesthetic that's sustained a multitude of titles since. We're finally seeing a major, mainstream entry in this legacy, with directorial guidance from the RZA himself — an expert in martial arts films and no stranger to the movie industry.
If you want to know what to expect with The Man with the Iron Fists or just want to see where the RZA is coming from, check out the following…
Samurai Champloo
This doesn't have direct involvement from the RZA, but director Shinichiro Watanabe is familiar with combining a distinct musical style with specific film genres. Here it's chambara film and hip-hop, with a killer opening song and frequent, kinetic action scenes. Champloo is a very good anime series but suffers from Watanabe's own filmography — his previous Cowboy Bebop is considered to be the greatest anime series of all time. When you follow that with a very good anime — well, you can do the math. The series is consistent, dramatic, and frequently humorous. The characters are fun, and the overall feel is hip and stylish. The ending song is also great.
Shogun Assassin
This is one of the few movies where the English dub is actually mandatory. If you see it in the original language track you'll miss the dialogue that the GZA sampled into various instrumentals on Liquid Swords. It's small wonder why this film made such an impact on the Wu-Tang founder — it's a strange little gem, completely unafraid of excessive sprays of blood and even violence against women: the kind that might make you cringe, but it's all in good fun. And what's more fun than seeing a badass baby riding around in a baby cart built of weapons with his stoic samurai dad? The ultimate family movie. It's actually an edit of the first two Lone Wolf and Cub movies, so it takes all the action bits, and leaves out assumedly plenty of story. The Lone Wolf manga was penned by Kazuo Koike, author of among other things, Lady Snowblood, the adaptation of which had a major influence on the next on the list…
Kill Bill
The RZA scored this, the original 'two tickets, one movie,' dealio back from when we didn't know about a Harry Potter 7 or Twilight 4. Luckily this is one of Tarantino's best, a balls-insane mashup of Italian westerns, Shaw Brothers kung-fu, samurai epics, and the gorier pieces of Japanese cinema a la Fukasaku and Miike. The Man with the Iron Fists is being produced by Tarantino, so I imagine the RZA will be benefitting here from an established creative relationship, as he does consider the great genrebuster a mentor. It might also, however, be like Frank Miller coming off of Sin City with The Spirit. Let's hope not.
Afro Samurai
I've only seen the first episode. Interesting, but I haven't heard great things about it. This is probably more hip-hop than samurai, if Champloo was more samurai than hip-hop, but I've never heard anyone call it better than its Japanese counterpart.
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
Before the RZA's directorial debut, Ghost Dog was definitely the quintessential Wu-Tang movie. It features Forest Whitaker as a Mafia hit man who lives by the code of the samurai. It's a mostly tacit lifestyle, filled with night-driving and hanging out with the odd gallery of friends he amasses in a French ice cream truck guy and a scholarly little girl. It is a lifestyle punctuated by violence nonetheless, and the action in this movie is sparse but effective, particularly with Ghost Dog's first kill.
Ghost Dog 'sheathes' his silenced pistols much in the way a samurai would a sword, and practices martial arts on the lonely New York rooftops, up there with the pigeons, his preferred mode of communication with the outside world. This is a quirky if uneven film, funny in places and dark in others, but overall an iconic example of the gangsta/samurai aesthetic, and proud piece in a legacy following films like Le Samourai and those of Kurosawa — it isn't revision so much as it is celebration.
Celebration I'd say is a key theme. There's an appreciation of many cultures, and a tolerance of such things that's unprecedented in violent macho movies. Ghost Dog is very in tune with his inner spirit, and is able to communicate with his best friend the ice cream guy by pushing through the language barrier — it's a deeper connection. The most telling scene is when the ice cream guy, fascinated by a man building a boat, yells down from a rooftop in French: "That's incredible! How are you gonna get that out?" and gets "I don't understand, but I have to get back to work!" as a response, in Spanish. The ice cream guy smiles and Ghost Dog nods, walks off.
This embracing of other people and foreign cultures is a cornerstone of this 'subgenre,' and I think there's a lot to be gained in blending cultures, mixing philosophies and aesthetics to create modern mythology in film and music.
The RZA, who scored Ghost Dog, does appear in this film, credited as the "Samurai in Camoflague," and though his scene is brief, it is perhaps the most appropriate role for him. Better at least, then the crackhead who gets killed in American Gangster. We'll see truly how his acting skills (among other things) shake out on the 2nd of next month, but I have high hopes. He's such a cool guy; it'd suck to see his movie fare poorly.
Oh, and the Italian gangsters in this movie are just crazy. If nothing else, watch this movie for them. They are not unlike the depiction of cosa nostra in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
So that should give you a general idea — these various titles the with direct involvement of the RZA, or that follow his approach to genre, are the Wu-Tang aesthetic and philosophy manifest in film and TV. The ultimate piece will be The Man with the Iron Fists, and if Ghost Dog and Kill Bill were the RZA's film background, he's in good shape.
Well shit — you see that picture with the eyeball!

Obama apologizes for insurance cancellations due to Obamacare
- Obama says in interview with NBC he's sorry
- Some people are losing their health coverage due to Affordable Care Act
- Obama said previously Americans could keep their plans if they liked them
- House will vote next week on bill allowing Americans to keep their health plans
President Barack Obama apologized Thursday to those Americans whose insurance plans are being canceled due to the federal health law he championed even though he said repeatedly they could keep their coverage if they liked.
"I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me," he told NBC News in an exclusive interview.
"We've got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and we are going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this," he added.
Obama's comments come days after he attempted to clarify what he meant when he assured Americans in previous years that they would be able to keep their plans under the Affordable Care Act, a controversy that is prompting legislation in Congress to address it.
Republicans have hammered Obama over the promise since insurers began discontinuing coverage for some of the 12 million Americans who buy individual policies on the private market that don't meet Obamacare requirements for more comprehensive care.
Insurance companies appear to be doing this for a variety of reasons; some are pulling all their plans from certain states where they have fewer subscribers in order to save money.
In many cases, affected policyholders are being squeezed. They either don't qualify for subsidies to lower the cost of new premiums or they may have to pay more in the health care exchange marketplace.
When Obama says he's looking to fix it, he primarily means steps that can be taken administratively, senior administration officials said.
Some experts suggest one possible approach would be to ask insurers to delay the cancellation of plans and extend them into the New Year so that people are not left without insurance. That has been done, for example, in the state of California.
But House Speaker John Boehner said an Obama apology was in order and said the Republican-led House had its own plan in mind.
"What Americans want to hear is that the President is going to keep his promise. That's why the House will vote next week to allow anyone with a health care plan they like to keep it," Boehner said. "If the President is sincerely sorry that he misled the American people, the very least he can do is support this bipartisan effort. Otherwise, this apology doesn't amount to anything."
The administration eventually knew that many policies would be changed by the insurance carriers after Obamacare was introduced, and the associated political uproar since its October 1 online rollout has also angered Democrats and fueled Republican efforts to extend related controversies onto the campaign trail.
In 2010, the Health and Human Services Department estimated that 40% to 67% of individual plans would eventually lose their "grandfathered" status, which only was conferred if a plan was purchased before the health care law was approved in 2010.
Although Obama said the "buck stops" with him on Obamacare problems to date -- including the rocky rollout of the website -- he still was resolute that his initiative to provide coverage for the uninsured and better coverage for many others would be better for the country.
"Most of the folks who ... got these cancellation letters, they'll be able to get better care at the same cost or cheaper in these new marketplaces," Obama said, also noting that "we have to make sure" people do not feel as if they've been betrayed by an effort carried out with their best interests in mind.
"They'll have more choice, they'll have more competition. They're part of a bigger pool. The insurance companies are going to be hungry for their business. So the majority of folks will end up being better off," he said.
Key elements of the health law prohibit discrimination for pre-existing conditions and require new plans cover maternity care, mental health and other areas. The program was developed to put comprehensive care within reach of millions of uninsured Americans.
About 95% of legal U.S. residents receive health insurance through private employers or the federal government, the Obama administration says. But more than 48 million Americans don't have any coverage.
Obama's apology comes a week after similar refrains were made by Vice President Joe Biden and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius regarding the botched Obamacare online rollout.
Asked if he thinks Americans will be able to trust what he says in the future, Obama said he thinks he'll ultimately be "judged on whether" Obamacare is better for Americans overall.
"When you try to do something big like make our health care system better ... there are going to be problems along the way, even if ultimately what you're doing is going to make a whole lot of people better off, and I hope that people will look at the end product and they're going to be able to look back and say, you know what, we now have protections we didn't have before," he said.
In the NBC interview, Obama reiterated the administration's line that he's "confident" a "majority of people" will be able to use the website and apply for insurance by November 30. But he did not say whether he would push back the March 31 deadline to enroll or the penalty for those who do not purchase insurance.
Obamacare depends on younger, healthier Americans to buy into the program and pay premiums to offset costs for covering older people who need more health care. Those without insurance who do not sign up for a plan face a fine.
A Gallup poll conducted just over a week ago showed 36% of Americans said they didn't think that in the long run the Affordable Care Act would make much of a difference to their family's health care situation. Just over a third said the health care law would make matters worse, and one in four said that Obamacare would make things better.

Always Be Ready
To Network
Take The Next Step
Make The Occasional Personal
Its A Two Way Street
Don't Do All The Talking
Don't Forget To Say
Sometimes You Just Have To
Grow A Thick Skin
Extend Yourself
Networking is a marketing mainstay for businesses of all sizes and especially essential
for the success of any home business. So what is networking and how do you go about
networking to promote your home business? Networking in a formal sense is the connection
of people for the purpose of exploring mutually beneficial business opportunities.
You might be thinking that this definition is rather obvious it is; however exactly
how to go about creating those opportunities is less than obvious. opportunities
is less than obvious.
Opportunities can present themselves anytime, anywhere. Always be prepared to get
your business face on and think networking. Networking is a two way street so always
keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities for others. Passing on an opportunity
to someone else is a great way to cement a relationship.
Back to top
Always follow up first meetings with a friendly email or phone call. Many networking
opportunities start with a very subtle invitation. Another business person might
mention they are interested in seeing more of your work or learning more about what
you have to offer. While comments like this aren't an instant invitation to do business
they can be the start to great relationship. So be sure to request a business card
or contact details and make contact the next day.
Technology has made communication, especially in business, easy. It has also made
communication less personal in this environment personal gestures go a long way,
much further than they did 20 years ago.
A personal gesture is any communication that is not business related, but just as
useful and constructive. As an example, last year at a new year's party I got chatting
with a graphic designer I know, I mentioned I was web designer and he mentioned
his company might need a website in the future. The next week I made contact with
a simple email to say hello but also included a link to an article on branding I
thought he might be interested in reading. Sending the link was the personal gesture,
they go a long way towards founding great relationships.
Too often people ruin networking opportunities by talking about themselves too much.
Nothing is worse than meeting someone for the first time, only to be subjected to
a monologue about themselves and their work. Use concise sentences when talking
about yourself and try not to repeat yourself. Asking interesting questions is the
best way to create constructive two way conversation. Remember, don't do all the
Being part of a great business network means you will get passed opportunities from
time to time. Irregardless of their outcome, don't forget to sincerely thank the
person who passed the opportunity along.
Many business people don't operate with networking in mind. Sometimes you have to
ask to create opportunities. If you've been chatting with someone about business
opportunities ask them if you can follow the conversation up with a call. If a client
is particularly happy with the work you have done, ask them if they know anyone
else who might need your services. Sometimes these things just don't occur to people
unless you ask.
The previous point can be a very scary proposition for some. The sooner you can
shake your fear of rejection, the better. The worst reply you can ever get for asking
is no. Don't take rejection personally and get over it as quickly as possible. Rejection
is part of doing business, the better you become at dealing with it the more chances
you have of being successful.
Success is never easily achieved. Chances are most networking opportunities will
be outside of your comfort zone. Extend yourself - join clubs and organizations,
go places you normally wouldn't and speak to different people. The more you break
out of your comfort zone the easier it will become and the more networking opportunities
you will be exposed to.

A lumbar strain is an injury to the lower back. This results in damaged tendons and muscles that can spasm and feel sore. The lumbar vertebra make up the section of the spine in your lower back.
Injury can damage the tendons and muscles in the lower back. Pushing and pulling sports, such as weight lifting or football, can lead to a lumbar strain. In addition, sports that require sudden twisting of the lower back, such as in tennis, basketball, baseball, and golf, can lead to this injury. Certain risk factors, such as excessive lower back curvature, forward-tilted pelvis, weak back, or abdominal muscles, and tight hamstrings, can increase the risk for this injury.
The following are the most common symptoms of a lumbar strain. However, each person may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of a lumbar strain may resemble other conditions and medical problems. Always talk with your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical exam, diagnostic procedures for low back pain may include the following. However, during many initial assessments and exams, specialized tests aren't usually recommended.
Specific treatment for a lumbar strain will be discussed with you by your healthcare provider based on:
Treatment may include:
Medicines, such as anti-inflammatories and spinal injections, may also be used to relieve pain and inflammation.
Call your healthcare provider if any of the following happen:
Contact your healthcare provider immediately for the following:
Cold reduces swelling. Both cold and heat can reduce pain. Protect your skin by placing a towel between your body and the ice or heat source.
Exercise can help your back heal. It also helps your back get stronger and more flexible, preventing any reinjury. Ask your healthcare provider about specific exercises for your back.

Cal wide receiver Keenan Allen is still recovering from a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will not work out at the Scouting Combine.
Agent J.T. Johnson told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Allen will attend the Combine and go through medical exams. But Allen is only about 70 percent healed from the injury he suffered during the 2012 season, and so he's going to wait until April to run a 40-yard dash for NFL teams.
Allen won't need surgery, but he did aggravate the injury while working out two weeks ago, and as a result he needs to slow down his recovery. Allen does expect to be in good enough shape to run some routes at Cal's Pro Day on March 14, but he won't be at full speed by that point.
NFL Network's Mike Mayock lists Allen as the No. 2 receiver in this year's draft.

The Glitch. The Glitch first popped up in May of 1981 in a small suburb of San Jose. The Glitch has come here for one purpose and one purpose alone, to spread harmonics and to Wallify sounds. The Wall of Sound movement has found a new pioneer.
Early on, The Glitch was observed in taking in a mass amount of music from Beethoven and Bach to Psykosoniks and 2 Unlimited, to The Beatles and The Beach Boys, to Phil Spector and Dr. Dre.

Most of the Sunday team has been riding guard sprockets for a long time, so it was just a matter of time before they made their own. The Knox sprocket is made of 7075 aluminum and comes with a full guard on one side of the sprocket. It's designed to fit larger chains like half-link chains so it's compatible with any BMX drivetrain you have or want. It's made super strong and will help protect your chain from being hit when slipping off a rail or messing up on a crankslide. - Machined out of 7075 aluminum - Full guard on one side of the sprocket - Designed to fit larger chains like half-link chains - 6mm thick
In BMX racing, that first sprint from the gate is the most important part of the race. Shimano knows this, so their DXR cranks are unbelievably stiff, perfect for getting out in front for the holeshot. They borrow Hollowtech II technology from the Saint downhill cranks to make them rigid, light and super tough. They sport a narrow Q factor for smooth pedaling and steel pedal inserts for durability. When 2nd place just won't do, DXR is the answer.
Radio PRO Leon Hoppe's signature 47 Sprocket Guard is made to take a real beating. Featuring an integrated 8mm thick alloy guard and a robust CNC machined construction; if you're looking to get tech as hell and not break your chain, we suggest investing in one of these.
The Radio Axis sprocket is CNC machined out of the highest quality 6061-T6 alloy and is 6.35mm thick to ensure that it can hold up to some real abuse. Ridden by most of our team, this amazing sprocket comes in 25t or 28t and is available in our wild Sandblasted Purple fade finish. - Material: 6061-T6 alloy, full CNC machined - Borehole: fits on to a 24mm spindle, comes with adaptors to fit 19mm and 22mm cranks. - Thickness: 6.35mm - Sizes: 25t or 28t - Specials: strong 6.35mm thick full CNC alloy sprocket with x4 rotation holes, supplied with adaptors to fit any crank on the market - Weight: 25t: 90g (3.20oz)
A classic knobby version of the Aitken signature tire. Traditionally a more dirt-specific tire but the tire's fast rolling center tread allows it to be used on all terrains. - 20 × 2.35 only Single ply casing
Mike Aitken's popular signature tires for street and dirt. Ideal for use at high speeds. - 20 × 2.25, and 20 x 2.45 Dual ply casing
Using Odyssey's popular TL48 stem as a springboard, Aaron Ross' signature BOSS stem is a classic top load design with 52mm of reach and a 35mm rise. FEATURES - Six bolt clamping configuration - Headset pre-load bolt recess (32mm diameter) - 6061-T6 aluminum, CNC machined SPECS - 52mm reach - 35mm rise - 11 oz
The Evo 2 brake is the industry leading U-brake because of its modular hardware features and affordable value. Install it as a rear brake or front brake straight out of the box. Comes with Odyssey's convenient double lugged straddle cable, custom curved cable hanger and an array of hardware for adapting the brake to every possible set-up. Forged from aluminum for strength, and to avoid unnecessary upcharges from frivolous CNC machining. The Evo 2 is the natural progression of the original Evolver. It has seen constant refinement and new running changes to keep it as the standard in BMX braking. This design allows for a seemingly limitless amount of cable installation options, while remaining equally powerful as both a front OR rear wheel brake. New forge tooling was created that provides for a sleeker side profile. Arms are forged prior to machining for strength and durability. Contrary to the uneducated in metallurgy, a forged metal piece is of much higher strength than a piece machined from a block of material. FEATURES: - All of the cable set screws are now flat-tipped to prevent excess damage to the cable's inner wire - Cable lugs are smaller and use a 10 mm hex head - Pre-lugged straddle cable is shorter - Front cable adapter is smaller and made of aluminum - Flush surfaces, with the lowest possible overall stack height - Front or rear wheel use - Redesigned brake pads - Two sets of springs (hard and soft for custom tension/modulation) - Spring tension indicators (easy set up) - Newly designed straddle hanger
Chase Gouin's signature tire. Predictable during tight turns and made to roll smooth at high speeds. Horizontal tread grooves provide shoe traction only when you need them to. This modern interpretation of one of the most popular tires ever made is used regularly by street riders too. Now available with a Special Compound tread durometer for polished indoor floors. 100 PSI, of course.
One of the most important goals that Odyssey had when they sat down to work on new braking designs was to make the whole system easier to install (and remove) without sacrificing performance. They also wanted to be sure that every component would be very affordable too. The Ghost Pad addresses the hassles of brake pad installation by eliminating the traditional dome shaped washers used for toe-in. The pad improves stiffness by building the toe-in into the pad shape and utilizing a solid extruded aluminum frame at its core. The Ghost Pad's assembly consists of simply lining it up with the rim and tightening down an M6 female bolt. Comes stock on the Springfield brake. SPECS Hardware: - In-bound bolt, 5mm Hex Key, M6x1.0 Thread - Pad Material: Black (standard) or Clear Rubber (Soft) - Weight: 1.0oz / 28g (pair)
The 4.5-inch peg features a full 4130 core with a long-lasting, fast-sliding, plastic sleeve. - Sold individually - 14mm with 3/8" adapters only - Replacement sleeves sold separately - 4.5" (length) x 1.5" (outer diameter) - 4.5 oz (9 oz for a pair)
This plastic peg features a full 4130 core with a long-lasting, fast-sliding, plastic sleeve. - 1.5-inch outer diameter - 14mm with 3/8-inch adapter - Sold individually - Weight: 7.6oz - Replacement sleeves sold separately
The Graduate sleeve is the replacement sleeve for the Graduate peg that's made from long lasting, fast sliding plastic. - Sold singly
6061 aluminum with precision sealed mechanism bearing and lower (17mm) stack height.
Odyssey's original dual cable detangler system has been the industry standard since day one. Odyssey has been making the Gyro since 1986 and constantly improving it along the way. Everything you need to run a Gyro. Odyssey Gyro cables and upper and lower cable stops included.

The SCons Docbook tool
This tool tries to make working with Docbook in SCons a little easier. It provides several toolchains for creating different output formats, like HTML or PDF. Contained in the package is a distribution of the Docbook XSL stylesheets as of version 1.76.1. As long as you don't specify your own stylesheets for customization (see Selecting stylesheet), these official versions are picked as default...which should reduce the inevitable setup hassles for you.
Implicit dependencies to images and XIncludes are detected automatically if you meet the HTML requirements (see Requirements). The additional stylesheet utils/xmldepend.xsl by Paul DuBois is used for this purpose.
Note, that there is no support for XML catalog resolving offered! This tool calls the XSLT processors and PDF renderers with the stylesheets you specified, that's it. The rest lies in your hands and you still have to know what you're doing when resolving names via a catalog.
Installing it, requires you to copy (or, even better: checkout) the contents of the package's docbook folder to
- "/path_to_your_project/site_scons/site_tools/docbook", if you need the Docbook Tool in one project only, or
- "~/.scons/site_scons/site_tools/docbook", for a system-wide installation under your current login.
For more infos about this, please refer to
- the SCons User's Guide, chap. 19.7 "Where to put your custom Builders and Tools" and
- the SCons Tools Wiki page at http://scons.org/wiki/ToolsIndex.
How to activate
For activating the tool "docbook", you have to add its name to the Environment constructor, like this
env = Environment(tools=['docbook'])
On its startup, the Docbook tool tries to find a required xsltproc processor, and a PDF renderer, e.g. fop. So make sure that these are added to your system's environment PATH and can be called directly, without specifying their full path.
For the most basic processing of Docbook to HTML, you need to have installed
- the Python lxml binding to libxml2, or
- the direct Python bindings for libxml2/libxslt, or
- a standalone XSLT processor, currently detected are xsltproc, saxon, saxon-xslt and xalan.
Rendering to PDF requires you to have one of the applications fop, xep or jw installed.
Processing documents
Creating a HTML or PDF document is very simple and straightforward. Say
env = Environment(tools=['docbook']) env.DocbookHtml('manual.html', 'manual.xml') env.DocbookPdf('manual.pdf', 'manual.xml')
to get both outputs from your XML source manual.xml. As a shortcut, you can give the stem of the filenames alone, like this:
env = Environment(tools=['docbook']) env.DocbookHtml('manual') env.DocbookPdf('manual')
and get the same result. Target and source lists are also supported:
env = Environment(tools=['docbook']) env.DocbookHtml(['manual.html','reference.html'], ['manual.xml','reference.xml'])
or even
env = Environment(tools=['docbook']) env.DocbookHtml(['manual','reference'])
Whenever you leave out the list of sources, you may not specify a file extension! The Tool uses the given names as file stems, and adds the suffixes for target and source files accordingly.
The rules given above are valid for the Builders DocbookHtml, DocbookPdf and DocbookSlidePdf. For the DocbookMan transformation you can specify a target name, but the actual output names are automatically set from the refname entries in your XML source. The DocbookXInclude Builder requires a target and source parameter. They have to differ because input and output files usually carry the same suffix (*.xml).
Please refer to the section Chunked output for more infos about the other Builders.
Selecting your own stylesheet
If you want to use a specific XSL file, you can set the additional xsl parameter to your Builder call as follows:
env.DocbookHtml('other.html', 'manual.xml', xsl='html.xsl')
Since this may get tedious if you always use the same local naming for your customized XSL files, e.g. html.xsl for HTML and pdf.xsl for PDF output, a set of variables for setting the default XSL name is provided. These are:
and you can set them when constructing your environment:
env = Environment(tools=['docbook'], DOCBOOK_DEFAULT_XSL_HTML='html.xsl', DOCBOOK_DEFAULT_XSL_PDF='pdf.xsl') env.DocbookHtml('manual') # now uses html.xsl
Chunked output
The Builders DocbookHtmlChunked, DocbookHtmlhelp and DocbookSlidesHtml are special, in that:
- they create a large set of files, where the exact names and their number depend on the content of the source file, and
- the main target is always named index.html, i.e. the output name for the XSL transformation is not picked up by the stylesheets.
As a result, there is simply no use in specifying a target HTML name. So the basic syntax for these builders is:
env = Environment(tools=['docbook']) env.DocbookHtmlhelp('manual')
Only if you use the root.filename (titlefoil.html for slides) parameter in your own stylesheets you have to give the new target name. This ensures that the dependencies get correct, especially for the cleanup via "scons -c":
env = Environment(tools=['docbook']) env.DocbookHtmlhelp('mymanual.html','manual', xsl='htmlhelp.xsl')
Some basic support for the base.dir is added (this has not been properly tested with variant dirs, yet!). You can add the base_dir keyword to your Builder call, and the given prefix gets prepended to all the created filenames:
env = Environment(tools=['docbook']) env.DocbookHtmlhelp('manual', xsl='htmlhelp.xsl', base_dir='output/')
Make sure that you don't forget the trailing slash for the base folder, else your files get renamed only!
All builders
A simple list of all builders currently available:
- DocbookHtml::
- Single HTML file.
- DocbookHtmlChunked::
- Chunked HTML files, with support for the base.dir parameter. The chunkfast.xsl file (requires "EXSLT") is used as the default stylesheet.
- DocbookHtmlhelp::
- Htmlhelp files, with support for base.dir.
- DocbookPdf::
- PDF output.
- DocbookMan::
- Man pages.
- DocbookSlidesPdf::
- Slides in PDF format.
- DocbookSlidesHtml::
- Slides in HTML format, with support for base.dir.
- DocbookXInclude::
- Can be used to resolve XIncludes in a preprocessing step.
Need more?
This work is still in a very basic state and hasn't been tested well with things like variant dirs, yet. Unicode problems and poor performance with large input files may occur. There will definitely arise the need for adding features, or a variable. Let us know if you can think of a nice improvement or have worked on a bugfix/patch with success. Enter your issues at the Launchpad bug tracker for the Docbook Tool, or write to the User General Discussion list of SCons at firstname.lastname@example.com.

CRAY 2 computers after serial number one had a really neat looking "waterfall" of fluorinert over the nert resivour. The "official" function of the waterfall was to degass the liquid. At NERSC we considered adding some colorant to the liquid, but it is so inert that it would not mix with anything - you would just get bubbles of color floating around in the coolant. We did use a spotlight with a color-wheel for a while though! The CRAY 2 series was always a hit with people because they could actually see the cooling liquid circulating around the electronics in the machine. The YMP was also liquid cooled, but just looked like a big box - it was more boring. For troubleshooting the CRAY2 modules, there was a workbench with a small - maybe 8" X 11" x 3" deep basin which the bench could circulate fluorinert through for full-power testing of a module. For most troubleshooting, the techs would operate in "pulsed" mode - with power and drive signals applied to the module for a few miliseconds at a time and lots of "off" time to cool down. These tests were run dry, making it simpler to move probes around in the module stack ( CRAY 2 Modules were stacks of 7 PC boards with berg pins making connections vertically through the stack as well as connections to the backmat) When working with CRAY 2 modules, a few milliseconds is a lot of instructions :) The test computer was a northstar-derivative CPM 80 machine with a special I/O card to drive the CRAY modules. >-- >Dr. Josip Loncaric, Research Fellow mailto:josip at icase.edu >ICASE, Mail Stop 132C PGP key at http://www.icase.edu./~josip/ >NASA Langley Research Center mailto:j.loncaric at larc.nasa.gov >Hampton, VA 23681-2199, USA Tel. +1 757 864-2192 Fax +1 757 864-6134 Jim Morton

(Reuters) - Australian Scott Hend comfortably kept the chasing pack at bay to win the Venetian Macau Open by three strokes on Sunday for his third title of the year.
India's Anirban Lahiri hit a scorching nine-under-par 62 to match the course record to finish second while four-times major winner Ernie Els shared third spot with Elmer Salvador of the Philippines in the $800,000 Asian Tour event.
A victory looked unlikely for Hend after his opening round 74 but the big-hitting Australian swung back to contention with a 64 in Friday's second round.
"It's important to win again this week, for the third time, it feels good," Hend, who mixed five birdies with a lone bogey, said. "Thursday was a difficult day, mentally and physically.
"Then on Friday and Saturday, I started holing putts which I haven't done the whole year even when I won a couple of weeks ago. I've holed my fair share this week.
"Three wins in a year is definitely the best golf of my career. There are some big tournaments coming up and it'll be nice to perform well in those and be competitive. The year hasn't finished yet."
Els was hot on the heels of Hend, who was leading by four strokes coming into the final round, with some early birdies on Sunday. The South African gained three shots within the first six holes but a bogey on the ninth halted his momentum.
"It was very frustrating. I started off nicely again and then made a soft bogey on nine. I couldn't afford any mistakes," the 44-year-old said.
"I needed to keep the pedal on the metal but I made that mistake and I didn't play the back nine all that well either. Tough weekend but I think Scott was very strong.
"I had four shots to make up and four shots is a lot to make up especially with the caliber of Scott. He deserved to win."
The 26-year-old Lahiri started with a birdie and an eagle on the first two holes to shoot up the leaderboard. He added seven more shots with a lone bogey coming on the eighth hole.

Candidate presented by: Dr. William Cullinan, Dean of the College of Health Sciences
Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., had a childhood dream of becoming a physician. Growing up in a single parent home and in dire poverty, he might have been precluded from the realization of his dream had it not been for his mother, who challenged her sons to strive for excellence. Young Ben persevered and today is a full professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, where he has directed pediatric neurosurgery for nearly a quarter of a century.
Dr. Carson performed the first separation of twins conjoined at the back of the head in 1987, the first completely successful separation of type-2 vertical conjoined twins in 1997 in South Africa, and the first successful placement of an intrauterine shunt for a hydrocephalic twin. While he has been involved in many pioneering and newsworthy operations, he feels that every case is noteworthy and deserving of maximum attention.
Dr. Carson has been honored with more than 40 honorary doctorate degrees. He is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society, the Horatio Alger Society of Distinguished Americans, and many other prestigious organizations. He sits on the boards of directors of numerous organizations, and was appointed in 2004 by President George W. Bush to serve on the President's Council on Bioethics. He is a highly regarded speaker who has addressed various audiences from school systems and civic groups to corporations and the President's National Prayer Breakfast.
In 2001 Dr. Carson was named by CNN and Time Magazine as one of the nation's 20 foremost physicians and scientists. That same year, he was selected by the Library of Congress as one of 89 "Living Legends" on the occasion of its 200th anniversary. He is also the recipient of the 2006 Spingarn Medal which is the highest honor bestowed by the NAACP, and received literally hundreds of other awards.
He is president and co-founder of the Carson Scholars Fund which recognizes young people of all backgrounds for exceptional academic and humanitarian accomplishments. The Fund is currently operating in 16 states and the District of Columbia. Dr. Carson also co-founded Angels of the OR, an organization that provides grants to assist families with non-covered medical care expenses involving both adult and pediatric neurosurgery.
His three books, Gifted Hands, THINK BIG, and The Big Picture provide inspiration and insight for leading a successful life. His fourth book, Take The Risk: Learning to Identify, Choose, and Live With Acceptable Risk, was released in early 2008. Dr. Carson has been married for more than 30 years to his wife, Candy, and is the father of three sons. And, yes, his mother, Sonya Carson, who helped to make all this possible, is still an inspiring force in his life.
Because of his excellence in the practice of medicine, his unique gifts as a surgeon, his willingness to treat patients that other physicians would consider "lost causes," and his compassion for the human dignity of all his patients, Reverend President, I hereby recommend Benjamin S. Carson for the Marquette University degree of Doctor of Science honoris causa.

We're sorry, Tom. We won't doubt you again. Same for you, Colin.
The Patriots erased a 31-3 deficit, and tied the 49ers with 6:43 left in Sunday night football. Then Colin Kaepernick answered with a 38-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree 18 seconds later.
The four unanswered touchdowns by the Patriots (two each by Tom Brady and Danny Woodhead) came with stunning pace, and set up a classic finish on Sunday Night Football.
If you're not watching Sunday Night Football, what's wrong with you?


text: Hi Paul, If you're looking for packaged solvers, then PETSc (already mentioned) and Aztec could be of interest to you. Aztec is a parallel iterative solver for sparse systems developed by Sandia Labs. (Aztec: http://www.cs.sandia.gov/CRF/aztec1.html ) There is also a direct solver for symmetric positive definite matrices called PSPASES (http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~mjoshi/pspases/), but I haven't ever looked at that myself, so I can't really tell you much about it. Another direct solution package, originally written for the RS6000 platform but now available for linux (I believe!), is the Watson Sparse Matrix Package (WSMP) (http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~agupta/wsmp.html), by Anshul Gupta. Not only is the package said to be very good, but Gupta has done a LOT of research on sparse matrices, and it couldn't hurt to read some of his publications. On a different note, if you're not looking for packaged solvers, and just want to know about various methods or want to implement your own -often faster, if you have a known structure in your matrix-, you might want to read up on Yousef Saad's work, as mentioned before. Also, a very useful (and thick!) book is Golub and Van Loan's "Matrix Computations". Finally, if you find you're having difficulty with getting decent preconditioners (if necessary), I'd also suggest taking a look at Michele Benzi's work on sparse approximate inverse preconditioners. (http://www.mathcs.emory.edu/~benzi/) (That last link also has links to other people/places doing research that may be of interest to you.) Hope some of that is of interest to you, - Brian

7/21 Baseball is going to miss Lou
Larry Bowa was my first manager. Frank Robinson was my second. With Bowa, you're talking about one of the greatest shortstops of all time, even though people forget that. He had 2,800 hits and Gold Glove defense and played on championship teams. He was a fiery, fiery guy, sort of like Lou. Frank Robinson, I don't have to say anything about him. A Hall of Famer and one of the greatest of all time — 586 home runs, a little short of 3,000 hits. I'm sure he could come back now and get them.
Then I played for Ron Washington. He's probably the only one who's different. I think if you mold all those guys together, you have Lou. He's a clubhouse guy, a players' manager as well as knows his X's and O's on the field. Baseball is going to miss him. He's always going to be known for his fieriness but at the same time he'll be known for taking teams to the playoffs and having very good teams.

Yes! Lou will be missed. A baseball club like the Chicago Cubs needs a guy like Lou Pinniella to run the team. A no nonsense kind of guy who knows the game inside and out. Surely, a players manager.
Yes! Lou will be missed. I like his character. A no nonsense kind of guy who knows the game of baseball very well. A players manager. A person to took the Chicago Cubs to two playoffs.
I'm quite sure the game and fans will miss Lou, as well as Lou will miss the game. However, would Lou be retiring had the club lived up to expectations? The Cubs have had great managers, coaches, and players over the decades. Yet, they can never get over the hump. Why is that? Is there some mental barrier that they can't break through. Other teams have come into the league, with much smaller pay rolls and have won it all.
I am a lifetime Cub fan with a terminal illness. My biggest fear is to die before they grasp that brass ring. Maybe they just reach a little deeper into their hearts for the strength.
Thanks Lou for giving it your best and good luck.
Hi Marlon!
I'm sure you're nearly as disappointed as I am, but my brother-in-law Andy and my sister-in-law Tara forgot to bring the makings of a sign to tell you who they were yesterday! You're not gonna believe this either…they ended up eating at Gino's! Man, talk about missed opportunities.
Here's a little story about how my life is going right now, Marlon. My wife Taela set the DVR to record the game yesterday mostly because we knew that my brother-in-law Andy and sister-in-law Tara would be there. I spent all day not listening to my usual sports radio because I didn't want to hear the score. Talk about a pain in the nethers! So my sister-in-law Tasia watches the game with us and, as you know, that game was flying by because nobody was scoring, right? Well then it goes to extras and Geo comes up and apparently my brother-in-law Andy had posted something on Facebook (more on that later) about Geo. Well Geo pops up to end the scoring threat and my sister-in-law Tasia (who had already spilled the beans about my wife Taela being pregnant earlier this week) says "well, I know that Soto gets a hit because he's on my fantasy team and I need to go to brother-in-law Andy/sister Tara's house to study and take care of their dog so you need to fast forward." I'm all "the hell you say?" One thing I hate is when people tell me what's coming, and as far as I can tell this is a pretty selfish move right here. There's nothing I can do about it so I just have to fast forward.
Sure enough, we get to Geo and you guys are down by 3 and then Geo pops this ball out into left. The bleachers are sparsely populated at this point and the ball lands. Out of the left side of the screen there's MY BROTHER-IN-LAW ANDY diving into the pile! It looked like he had a pretty good shot at nabbing that ball too, but he didn't get it. I guess he needs to commit a little harder to that P90X so he can muscle his way through that pile of Northside beef next time. I mean, he's from Oakland-ish so you'd think he could hold his own, but he's also a pastor so he wasn't flying into the fracas with fists of fury (imagine Sylvester the Cat saying that! Sufferin' succotash!).
Well Marlon, I wish you could have met the family, but sometimes thes things don't work out.
Oh, about your post about Lou…I'm not really sure what it is you're trying to say. Are you saying Lou's a good manager and you're going to miss him? Are you saying he's been good for the game and baseball will miss him? I mean, my take on Lou, whose autographed ball I now own thanks to The Riot's deal, is that he only has signed one ball in his life and he's going to be a Hall of Famer and that one ball he signed should be worth hundreds, nay, thousands of dollars! Also, I think he's tired of losing.
Do you have a Twitter account? You could be TweetyByrd on there (more Sylvester the Cat reference…awesome).

The Barska AX11648 Large Biometric Keypad Safe offers the latest multi-access safe technology. It delivers versatility and function by having two independent quick access methods, fingerprint recognition (biometric) and keypad, as well as a pair of back-up keys. The Barska method of multi-access is a functioning solution to delegate access to valuables or weapons in any situation. Each access method functions independently, fingerprint or keypad access, as to not compound frustration and to give you peace of mind that you will always be able to access your safe in time of an emergency.
Biometric fingerprint scanning technology by Barska allows up-to 32 users to have quick effortless access to the safes contents. Biometric locks are the ideal method of quick access to weapons in time of emergency for home security. In the situation that you're awakened in the middle of the night to the sound of an intruder in your home, the last thing you want is to be searching for your safe keys in the dark or trying to remember a numeric safe combination. Direct, simple, fast and secure access to weapons via the biometric finger scanning lock is a must have for home security.
The keypad access method is the answer to the question "How do I give access to my safe if I'm not around?" In the event that another person needs access to a weapon for home defense or an employee needs to secure cash or access important documents, a numeric keypad function allows you to grant access to your safe when you're on the go. In the situation that years have passed and the batteries need to be replaced and you have forgotten the numeric key code a third back-up key is included with this safe.

When family and friends list all the things Boulder's Jim Fogelberg enjoyed doing in his free time, it's hard to imagine how he found enough hours in the day to enjoy them all.
"He was a Renaissance man," said his wife, Geni. "He used all sides of his brain, creative, analytical. He could just do it all."
All of the people Fogelberg met in his many adventures mourned Wednesday upon hearing that Fogelberg, 64, was struck and killed Tuesday evening in a collision with a car in Fort Collins where he worked.
A Fairview High and University of Colorado graduate, Fogelberg was a multi-talented man who could do just about whatever he set his mind to, his family said.
"He could do pretty much anything, no exaggeration," said Robyn Fogelberg, Jim's sister-in-law. "He had so many interests."
Those interests included cycling, music, astronomy, skiing, carpentry and acting. And when he did something, his friends said he was usually pretty good at it.
"When you think about him, you can think of him in so many different ways because he was so talented in so many different things," said Harv Mastarlir, who has known Fogelberg since they were kids.
"You have your story about riding a bike with him, knowing he could smoke you but he stayed back so he could talk to you. Or when you were playing music and you know he's so talented and so good, but he was kind of playing back with you to keep everything equal. That's kind of how he was. He never tried to be better than other people even when it was obvious that he was.
"He was this really great guy, one of those good people you get to meet. I'm fortunate I got to know him and spend as much time with him as I did."
Joan Bell, who knew Fogelberg through the Upstart Crow, a Boulder acting group that both she and Fogelberg were part of, said the news of his death was shocking to everyone.
"Total disbelief," she said. "All I could think was that he wasn't here anymore, a very good friend wasn't here anymore."
Robyn Fogelberg said she still remembers after her husband Dan -- Jim's brother -- had a heart attack that left him without some of his memories, Jim visited every day after work to be with him and served as his "window to the past."
"He was very selfless. He would do anything for anyone," she said. "He was a wonderful father, a wonderful husband, a wonderful friend."
"He had this passion
Geni Fogelberg met her future husband while the two worked together in Boulder. At one point while the two were dating, they were each looking for separate places to live, but their realtor showed them a home up on Sugarloaf Road they instantly knew was meant for both of them.
"Have you ever seen or done something that you knew at the time was 1.000 percent right?" she said. "We had to buy it together to afford it, but we just said, "Oh my God, yes.' I still live here."
Jim had two children, a 23-year-old daughter Annika and a 21-year-old son James -- who goes by Tory -- and passed on his various interests on to them.
"He had this passion for learning, being able to do whatever he wanted to do," Tory said. "That kind of inspiration was powerful."
Tory recalled hours-long music sessions in the recording studio Jim had built in their barn and his father sharing his love of astronomy with him.
"I plan on eventually going to school for astrophysics because of him," Tory said. "He just defined this wonderful world around me through what he knew about science."
But while Fogelberg was always ready to talk to them about the things he had done, his daughter Annika said he never once forced his interest onto them or tried to shape them, when they were growing up.
"He never let anybody tell him who he was, and he was very confident in who he was and what he loved and what he believed in," she said. "My dad tried so hard to make sure we were our own people. If I believed something, he wouldn't pressure me. He just made sure I believed, and that takes a lot."
Yet Annika said even though her father never tried to change who they were, she said by doing that, she wanted to be even more like him.
"I always looked up to him and wanted to be like him, I wanted to be that rock," she said. "He was my dad, and I was his little girl."
The collision
According to Fort Collins police, Fogelberg was riding east on Harmony Road in the bicycle lane when a 2004 Nissan Titan being driven by 50-year-old Bradley Hansen, of Fort Collins -- made a left turn in front of him on Hinsdale Drive, causing Fogelberg to collide with the front of the truck.
Fogelberg was transported to Medical Center of the Rockies but died at the hospital. His family said Fogelberg worked at Advanced Energy in Fort Collins, and was taking a bike ride after a workout at a gym in Fort Collins when he was hit.
No charges have yet been filed, though police said the investigation is still on-going.
Hansen did not return calls seeking comment on Wednesday.

text: Hi John, If the application is sufficiently coarsed-grained, i.e. sufficiently embarassingly parallel, it will work imo. It will work more like a grid environment than a cluster, but for coursegrained work that is enough. The main problem might be maintenance and installation: with a wireless connection it is not adviced to have a pxc-boot install or NFS shared directories. If all nodes are fat and selfreliant, I would go for it if the situation demands such a setup. Nonetheless: 8 nodes is not that much. I still advice to double check if there is no way to hardlink them, as having a 1Gb ethernet or even a 100Mb wire connection has many benefits over a (possibly unreliable) wireless connection.

Why hasn't the photo of the day changed? The one from May 22 is still showing. Nice fish, but ready to see something different.
Thinking same thing, not much is updated including news outside at top. Just basic DNR releases and G's / V. hunters blogs every now and then.
Hope its just Jeff being to busy and not a health issue.
I've definitely been thinking the same thing. One of the first things I looked forward to seeing each day was the pic of the day. We're so lucky to have so many great sportsman post their experiences. Hope things are well with Jeff.
Thanks for the concern. As I hope you can see, we have again been posting Pictures of the Day. For the past few years, I had a young man working for me who handled that. He moved on to a new job and it has taken awhile to train his replacement. The new Web master is up and running and you will see more pictures and posts.
As far as me being OK, that's always been a matter of debate. Obviously, I spend less time with this Website than I did before starting our weekly newspaper, The Weekly Post. The paper and the print magazine are my two main work focuses. My family is an even larger priority, since I've seen too many friends and family members die in recent years. Their deaths have hammered home the point to me that life is too short. Finally, keeping an eye on our new 42-acre farm has also taken a bit of my time. As a result of all that, the Website has lost a bit in my priority list.
But if time allows, I hope to soon start posting more about land management, since I find it fascinating and potentially of value to readers.
And as soon as I can figure out how best to do it, we will be linking directly to past issues of the magazine through our Website.
Thanks again for your interest.
Glad all is well Jeff. Thanks for the update.
As long as were all above ground it's a great day. Hope everyone is doing great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the third of 4 postings related to my first Android phone I did buy 4 months ago:
- myAndroid -- hardware
- myAndroid -- software
- myAndroid -- why rooting / programming
- myAndroid -- DataPower WebGUI
According Wikipedia Android rooting is no problem outside US.
And if I read it correctly, it is no problem in the US for cell phones
that are not bound to a provider like my prepaid free of contract cell phone.
I do have two prepaid SIMs from http://www.pennymobil.de, partner+surfer.
While ZTE Blade does not allow for dual SIMs, I just change the SIMs as needed,
the other just fits below the rechargable battery inside the device.
So the 2nd question to answer after the legal one above is, why rooting?
For me rooting of the device makes the difference between an Android phone and
a Linux phone. After rooting I can access anything, including system applications.
There are many instruction on how to root a device, and most differe wrt to the device type.
I did successfully follow this android Wiki instructions without problems (google for English ones):
Before rooting I did indentify the exact Blade version of my cell phone by Blade Checker app:
After rooting I did not change the Android 2.2 firmware on the device.
Many people root their devices to just do that, and I could install an Android 4.x OS.
But currently I do not see the need for that.
The device has only a single core 600MHz ARM 11 processor which is fine for 2.2 firmware.
The first app I installed then was Android Terminal Emulator of course.
Immediately followed by BusyBox providing all my favorite command line utilities.
Unfortunately the available editor "vi" does not provide syntax highlighting, anyway I use it.
This is "top" output for the device ...
Then I did disable the only really bad preinstalled feature of the device, the boot animation.
While I could live with the animation itself on device startup the sound is played
at maximum volume. And the volume cannot(!) be changed.
Everytime I had to start the device I got full attention of all people around ;-)
I did not want to remove the bootanimation, just do not start it.
"service bootanim /system/bin/bootanimation" in /init.rc starts the animation.
First I tried to comment out that line, but had to learn that the firmware wrote
that file newly on each bootup, overwriting my changes :-(
Then I tried to remove "run" access rights for "bootanimation" and that worked.
After starting the Terminal Emulator first switching to root user by "su" is needed.
Then "chmod 644 ..." does the rest:
The same could not be done easily from the "outside" by Android Debug Bridge (adb):
I created my first "Hello world" application following these instructions.
No big development environment, just learn each step needed.
While the above was a Java program, I created an Android version of "tidy"
command line utility with free CodeSourcery C/C++ cross compiler for ARM.
Based on "tidy4aug00.tgz" I just had to change two Makefile lines:
Important is the "-static" change -- by that no libraries have to be installed on Android.
Here is "Android tidy" in action:
Just found interesting (free) Terminal IDE app
"with a full Java / C / C++ / HTML / Android development kit, that runs on your Android device."
Unfortunately (for me) that requires Android OS 2.3.3 or higher -- this might be a reason to
change firmware.
Also Eclipse Android SDK seems to be worth to try.
What I really want is some XLST 1.0 or XSLT 2.0 or XQuery 1.0 processing on the device.
By open source XSLT 2.0 processor Saxon CE that is already possible today.
And with kws - Android Web Server app you can do XSLT 2.0 in the Android browser
locally on the Android device -- even without any internet connectivity!
As example see screenshot of Saxon CE port of my peg-solitaire XSLT game:
Find more information on my experiments with Saxon CE here:
