Connor Fields qualified for the London Games on June 16 at the BMX trials in Chula Vista, California.
CHULA VISTA, Calif. -- Twelve months ago, Connor Fields nearly quit BMX racing due to repeated injuries that led to a lengthy layoff. On Saturday, Fields earned the opportunity to represent the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
The 19-year-old from Henderson, Nev., garnered his nomination to the Games after outlasting an elite field of eight riders to win the U.S. Olympic Trials at the at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. All nominations are subject to approval by the U.S. Olympic Committee.
"I was seriously thinking about quitting the sport," recalled Fields, who missed eight months of action due to a right knee (and subsequent surgery) before returning in June 2011. "It was the hardest period of my life. I was feeling depressed — I wouldn't come out of my room — but it was exactly the best thing that could've happened to me. Over the past year, I have a whole new outlook at life and racing."
Racing under perfect conditions — a slight ocean breeze under cloud-less skies at 76 degrees — Fields flew out of the starting grid in the main event in the gate-to-wire victory, defeating Mike Day, the 2008 Olympic silver medalist in Beijing, and lifelong rival Corben Sharrah.
"I've known and raced against Corben since we were both 8 — I feel so fortunate to have been born in 1992 and been able to compete against him all these years," Fields said. "Then I got hurt in October 2010. But now it's no longer a chore to come out here to compete, it's an opportunity. I now have a true love for what I get to do. The injury was a blessing in disguise."
The track, a replica mirroring the one to be used in London, is considered a fair track that allows for passing. However, few riders were able to overtake the leaders through a series of motos (qualifying heats) and the final.
"Everyone says it's an easier track to pass people, but I actually believe it's more difficult because of a series of small turns rather than big sweeping turns," Fields said. "With such high banking, you can maintain your line in the turns and keep others off you. After you muscle through the start, it's a very fair track."
With his powerful start from the No. 2 spot in the starting grid, Fields was first through the initial series of jumps, allowing him to move low into the first turn. Sharrah stayed on Fields' back wheel, but never was able to mount a serious opportunity to overtake the leader.
"At the start, it was all about muscle and leg speed," Fields said. "Then it's all about bike-riding, which makes the track fair — it's a bit of finesse and a bit of power."
Day did pass Sharrah on the third of the track's four straightaways to take second place. Sharrah placed third, while Barry Nobles, who now races out of Menifee, Calif., was fourth.
But the winner-take-all race for an Olympic team berth belonged to Fields from the start. His final time of 38.203 seconds in the final was the best of the day outside of the time trials.
"It didn't matter what you did in the motos as long as you reached the final," Fields said. "So I basically took the final moto off, which allowed me to feel pretty fresh for the final. I know and understand my body, especially after being injured last season, which allowed to better gauge what do to today. So I did the bare minimum to get to the final."
"All that matters is the final and that one moment of getting to the final and winning the final. It doesn't matter if you won every lap leading up to that."Qualifying
In the motos, Fields easily took the first of the qualifying races, breezing across the line, followed by a late-finishing Sharrah. The riders exchanged positions in the second heat, which saw Donny Robinson and Joey Bradford get eliminated from the competition.
The final moto, which trimmed the field to the final four riders, saw Sharrah break away entering the second turn to claim his second straight heat. Eliminated were Josh Meyers and hometown favorite Nic Long of Lakeside, Calif.
In the time trails to open the qualifying, Sharrah muscled his way through the course with a top mark of 37.964 seconds among his two qualification runs, Connor was second at 38.229, while Long utilized a fluid style to better negotiate the jumps to finish a surprising third in 39.047
Already named to Team USA for the London Games were David Herman on the men's team and Arielle Martin on the women's team. Both were ranked No. 1 in the USA Cycling BMX Power Rankings and therefore did not have to compete in the Trials. The United States qualified the maximum number of slots for London (three men, two women).
In addition to Fields, Long and Alise Post were nominated to the U.S. Olympic Team at the BMX Hall of Fame dinner Saturday at the visitor's center on the OTC campus. The 2012 Hall of Fame class includes: Eric Carter (BMX racer), John Palfreyman Jr. (Pioneer BMX racer), Windy Osborn (BMX Woman), Steve Johnson (BMX Industry), Mat Hoffman (BMX Freestyler) and the 2008 Olympic team of Mike Day, Donny Robinson, Kyle Bennett and Jill Kintner.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — The countdown to the Centennial celebration of The Professional Golfers' Association of America, the world's largest sports organization, reaches a milestone tomorrow with The PGA celebrating its 97th anniversary as a leader of the multi-billion dollar golf industry.
On April 10, 1916, a group of 78 founding members, with a newly framed Constitution and by-laws in place, created The PGA of America in a boardroom on the second floor of the Hotel Martinique (now the Radisson Martinique on Broadway), in New York City. PGA Professional Robert White, of Wykagyl Country Club, in New Rochelle, N.Y., was elected as the Association's first president on June 26, 1916.
The idea to form an organization of golf professionals was proposed just a few months and several blocks south of Broadway by department store magnate Rodman Wanamaker during a luncheon at the Taplow Club in the former Wanamaker Store. Attendees at the luncheon included the likes of Walter Hagen, Francis Ouimet and A.W. Tillinghast. Wanamaker would also donate the iconic trophy that bears his name, medals and prize money to launch the inaugural PGA Championship at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, N.Y., Oct. 10-14, 1916.
Since its historic founding, The PGA has developed into an organization of 27,000 men and women Professionals who are recognized as "The Experts in the Game and Business of Golf."
"Many things have changed in 97 years, but one thing remains a constant," said PGA of America President Ted Bishop, the 38th PGA Professional to hold the highest office in the Association. "PGA Professionals go to work every day to make the game more enjoyable for our customers and those we serve. No one has had a better pulse on the amateur player than PGA Professionals. That was true 97 years ago and it has never been more evident than it is today!"
By developing world-class championships and innovative programs to grow the game, The PGA of America elevates the public's interest in golf, their desire to play more golf and ensures accessibility to the game for everyone, everywhere. Through a network of 41 Section offices, the Association maintains a total commitment to its Professionals, helping the membership meet the demands of today's marketplace and addressing issues that are vital to the golf industry.
From Jim Barnes in 1916 to Rory McIlroy in 2012, the PGA Championship has crowned many of the greatest golfers in the game at The Season's Final Major. The Association also stages some of the game's premier events including: the Ryder Cup, with teams from the United States and Europe competing every other year in one of the greatest spectacles in all of sport; the Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid, the most historic and prestigious event in senior golf; the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, the most difficult event to qualify for in all of golf; and the PGA Professional National Championship, the showcase event for PGA Club Professionals.
About The PGA of America
Since its founding in 1916, The PGA of America has maintained a twofold mission: to establish and elevate the standards of the profession and to grow interest and participation in the game of golf. By establishing and elevating the standards of the golf profession through world-class education, career services, marketing and research programs, The PGA enables its professionals to maximize their performance in their respective career paths and showcases them as experts in the game and in the multi-billion dollar golf industry. By creating and delivering world-class championships and innovative programs, The PGA of America elevates the public's interest in the game, the desire to play more golf, and ensures accessibility to the game for everyone, everywhere. As The PGA nears its centennial, the PGA brand represents the very best in golf.


text: Johannesburg - Unbeaten half centuries from Michael Erlank and Obus Pienaar ensured that the Knights batted out the final day of their Sunfoil Series match against the Highveld Lions and walked away with a draw in Potchefstroom on Sunday. Left-hander Erlank, who opened the batting, was the mainstay for the visitors with his 73 not out coming from 204 deliveries, while all-rounder Pienaar struck a more attacking 70 off 121 balls. That helped the Free Staters reach 187 for three by tea, before the two captains shook hands and settled for a shared result with the 369 victory target well out of reach despite only 60 overs bowled on day four.Full scorecard Resuming on 13 without loss, the Knights were in some early trouble after Rudi Second edged fast bowler Pumelela Matshikwe (1/22) to wicketkeeper Thami Tsolekile for 12. Rilee Rossouw (24) added 36 with Erlank for the second wicket, including taking the visitors past 50 in the 21st over, before he became the first of two wickets to fall with the score on 65. Brett Pelser (2/28) twice drew edges to 'keeper Tsolekile, first Rossouw losing his wicket followed by Ryan Bailey (nought) to give the home side a sniff. But that proved to be the final wicket as Erlank and Pienaar recorded their fourth and 10th career half centuries respectively during an unbroken 122-run stand as the Bloemfontein side comfortably held out to retake third spot on the log. On Saturday, the Dolphins secured their first victory of the season when they trounced defending champions the Titans by a massive innings and 247 runs in Durban. On Friday there was also another large win when the Cape Cobras destroyed the Warriors by an innings and 50 runs in East London to extend their advantage at the top of the table. The latest set of results leave the men from Cape Town on 79.58 points at the top, almost 24 clear of the Warriors (55.62). The Knights are third on 51.92, while the Dolphins have 48.08. The Lions and Titans, who have both played two games less than the other four teams, are on 36.76 and 18.5 points respectively.

Tiger Woods turned grinder again on Friday, battling his way around Muirfield Golf Club in the second round of the 142nd British Open.
Woods scrambled to make par throughout the day, closing his round of even-par 71 with a birdie on 18 to get him back to 2 under for the tournament.
As tough as the course is playing, he should still be in contact with the leaders by the end of the day.
First-round leader Zach Johnson (5-under 66) had teed off when Woods finished his round.
Woods is chasing his 15th major championship, but his first since the 2008 U.S. Open.
ROUND 1: Course setup faces criticism
ESPN has the TV broadcast.
LEADERBOARD: 142nd British Open
Woods played with 2010 U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell, who opened with a 4-over 75. We tracked their progress throughout the day.
No. 18, 470 yards, par 4: The brutal closing hole ... Woods with an iron is in the fairway but well back; he'll have a long second shot. McDowell, too, finds the fairway. From 218, Woods knocks it on the green and will have a pretty good look at birdie. Would be a good way to finish a round that was mostly a grind. McDowell finishes with a par and ends up with a 71 to stat at +4 for the tournament. Woods' birdie putt, from about 10 feet, goes down, so Woods closes with a birdie at 18 and gets back to 2 under for the day after an even par round of 71.
No. 17, 575 yards, par 5: Was a scoring hole Thursday, but it's playing into the wind Friday. Both Woods and McDowell could really use a birdie. Woods with his 3-metal smacks it into the middle of the fairway ... but reaching in two will be difficult, even from there. The hole is playing 100 yards longer (at least), thanks the wind shift, than it did in Round 1. Woods rifles a fairway metal at the green (from 318) and it stops in a swale in the fairway short of the green. He'll have a wedge is in hand, trying to get it close. Into the wind, Woods knocks it onto the green but not far enough back. Long birdie putt. At this point, Woods better get in par-par. Woods leaves his birdie putt inches short and taps in for par. Woods stays at -1; McDowell also makes par and is at +4.
No. 16, 186 yards, par 3: This par-3 is playing into the wind for the first time this week, and Woods finds the green — screaming "Bite! Bite!" all the way. It does, on the upper tier of the green but a difficult birdie putt. Good speed down the slope and a foot for par. There has been but one birdie at 16 so far. Woods didn't add to that total. Woods stays -1.
No. 15, 448 yards, par 4: Woods, again with an iron, smacks it dead center and gets a solid roll. McDowell also finds the fairway and gets a good roll. McDowell from 174 yards knocks it up and runs it past and into a bunker. Woods' shot hits hard and rolls over the green. Woods chips it up to about 5 feet. Another one of those testers for par. McDowell hits a beauty from the bunker. Pars for both ... and perhaps missed opportunities ... irons off the tee, wedges from the fairway and both had to scramble for par. Woods stays at -1, McDowell at +4.
No. 14, 475 yards, par 4: Woods' tee shot with a long iron is true but lands soft and gets no roll. He'll have a long second. McDowell's tee shot finds rough. Woods, from 227, lands it lovely on the green ... and then it rolls off the back and keeps rolling. His third is pretty good from where he is and he will have a good chance to save par. McDowell's 50-footer up the hill comes up just under 4 feet short. McDowell raps the par putt, and it hits the hole, goes 1/3 of the way down and spins out. Bogey 5. He will drop back to +4. Woods has 2 feet for his par saver. Woods stays at -1.
No. 13, 190 yards, par 3: Woods' 5-iron is true and finds the green. McDowell with a 4-iron ... drives it low and just past the hole at the back of the green. On Thursday, the club of choice on this hole was a 7-iron ... it was downwind and the ball was rolling on the green. Two birdie putts upcoming. Woods comes up short with his 35-foot birdie putt but calmly knocks in the par putt. McDowell's downhill left-to-righter goes down for birdie, and he is back to -3.
No. 12, 379 yards, par 4: The greens were watered Thursday night, so they are not quite as fiery ... but the wind has changed directions. Woods with an iron off the is safely in the fairway and away from the bunker at 260 yards. Woods' second. The birdie putt is up the hill but over a ridge ... his speed is off, short by a couple of inches. A par to stay at -1. McDowell also makes par to stay at +4.
No. 11, 387 yards, par 4: Woods gets away with a mistake ... trying to fade the tee shot he doesn't get what he's looking for, and he responds by dropping the club ... and lets loose with some vocal frustration. But the ball stays out of the thick rough and hangs on at the edge of the wide fairway. McDowell, again, finds thick grass left of the fairway. His second is pulled left into a greenside bunker. Not a good spot. Woods comes up short on his approach ... safe, but too safe. Woods debating whether to putt or chip from the front of the green, over a rise ... he chooses to chip. Not so good again ... it speeds 12 feet past. Another really difficult par putt. McDowell, from one knee, one foot in the bunker, chops it out but will have a very long par saver. McDowell can't coax his putt in and will make another bogey to drop back to +4. Woods can't make his par saver either ... unforced errors again ... and he will bogey to drop back to -1. he's +1 for the day.
No. 10, 469 yards, par 4: Woods cuts his tee shot right to left and into the fairway. One of those swing-and-bend-down-quickly-to pick-up-the-tee moments. McDowell's tee shot was side left into the rough. Woods' approach was nothing to write home about, short of the green, but he at least can putt for birdie. McDowell's second skids into a bunker; he has to aim away from the hole with his third (the ball came to rest against the face). Decent putt from McDowell, but he will have 12 feet now for bogey. Woods — who had two three-putt bogeys on the front — is staring that in the face again. Got the line right on his putt from off the green, but the speed was poorly judged. Now he's got 10 feet back down the hill to save par. The par putt finds the bottom of the cup. Good save after two poor shots between the tee shot and the final putt. McDowell makes his putt to save bogey. Woods stays at -2, McDowell drops to +3.
(Lee Westwood keeps on charging. He makes birdie at 12 to get to -5, even with first-round leader Zach Johnson. But, after a poor first putt on 13, Westwood gives it back and drops back to -4. Unforced error.)
No. 9, 554 yards, par 5: Woods hits a low driving 3-iron that misses the bunker but finds the rough. Reaching in two now is probably out of the question. Woods hammers his 5-wood out of the rough and rolls it up about pin high ... alas, in the rough next to the green. Will have a lot of green to work with. Birdie is still in the picture. McDowell, from the fairway 260 yards out, runs it just past the hole but off the back of the green. Woods' pitch from a tough lie in the rough runs past the hole, and his birdie just slips past. Par. Woods turns in even par, two birdies, two bogeys. He's -2. McDowell make his birdie to get to -2 for the day, +2 overall.
No. 8, 441 yards, par 4: Woods' tee shot with a 3-iron finds the fairway, away from the cluster of bunkers, and earns applause from the gallery. A poor approach shot flies high and well right of the flag but on the green, His birdie putt curls left. Never threatens hole. He should make par. Whoa, his 3-footer stays left and doesn't threaten hole. He's still left with three feet. This one goes in. Bogey puts him back to -2.
Meanwhile: Lee Westwood shot a 5-under 31 on the front nine to get to -4 for the tournament.
No. 7, 184 yards, par 3: Tee shots by both Woods and McDowell find the green, leaving long birdie putts. Both knock their putts up close enough for tap-in pars. Woods stays at -3, McDowell at +3.
No. 6, 461 yards, par 4: Woods just clears the bunkers with his tee shot but finds the fairway. His second hits the green but leaves a monster birdie putt. His putt was well-judged but will leave 4 feet to save par. McDowell missed the fairway, knocked it out on his second, then hit a beauty to within about 3 feet for par. Pars for both, Woods stays at -3, McDowell at +3.
No. 5, 559 yards, par 5: Woods gets that stroke back that he lost at No. 4. Another par for McDowell.
No. 4, 226 yards, par 3: Woods lips out a 2-footer for par. Ouch. He drops back to -2, and McDowell makes another par.

The world has come a long way since the Who released Tommy in 1969. Tomorrow night, a stage adaptation of the Flaming Lips' seminal 2002 rock opera Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots will premiere at San Diego's La Jolla Playhouse. It's not Broadway, but it is an indicator that the era of the rock opera could make a comeback. And this is the perfect time for a revival of the style.
The musical industry is hungry for material, but if Spider Man: Turn Off The Dark was any indication, musicals cannot draw from the same material movies do. Consider, on the other had, how well Rock Of Ages did, even if its filmic adaptation fumbled — there is an appetite for familiar music onstage.
Fortunately for Broadway, the music industry has produced a wealth of legitimately good rock operas (and hip-hoperas), most of which remain unadapted for the stage. And no, most of them are not what you would call "classic rock," although some are. The relative self-indulgence of Pink Floyd's The Wall and Rush's 2112 has ebbed, for the most part, in favor of coherent stories, and characters that develop with the plot.
Music and theater at their best stir something in an audience. There's a swell of feeling produced in a live setting that can't be replicated anyplace else. Here are the 10 rock operas most urgently in need of a stage adaptation, with some ideas for how such a production might be carried out. Make your case for My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade in the comments.

A new report by the University Centre for Rural Heath provides a snapshot of health and disease issues in the northern New South Wales Aboriginal community. Its chief author says mental well being is key to closing the gap between Indigenous and non Indigenous Australians.

Patsy Nagus knows all too well about the affect of health problems in her community.
A Northern Rivers Indigenous elder, she has just 10 per cent function left in her kidneys.
The Bundjalung woman has lived in Kyogle for 36 years and has spent the last few of them campaigning for dialysis chairs in small rural hospitals.
Ms Nagus was one of several speakers at a Lismore forum which brought together health professionals and Aboriginal leaders to share ideas about Indigenous health.
She said cross cultural awareness is the first step in improving health rates.
"You cannot send a non Aboriginal person out to visit an elderly Aboriginal person and expect the message to get through.
"I go out to the Aboriginal reserves and I will sit there drinking out of a jam tin, drinking a cup of tea, with the old fellas under a tree. There'll be more understanding of what I'm saying than a non Aboriginal person coming with a piece of paper."
The University Centre for Rural Health has been working with Aboriginal health leaders to compile a report on health and disease among Indigenous people in northern NSW.
While there have been some improvements in areas like infant mortality and pre-term births, chronic disease rates have worsened.
Chief author of the report, associate professor Michael Douglas said targeting adolescents when they're making important life choices is one area that can be improved on.
"We've seen an escalation at the chronic disease level which is probably a consequence of life choices that haven't been addressed, programs that haven't been well targeted in the past.
"To make meaningful change in the health and well being of people really has to go much more upstream; looking at areas of life like housing, employment, of opportunity."
Statistics reveal the local Aboriginal community is on par with high rates of disease - such as chronic disease, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and diabetes - seen in the wider Indigenous population.
But there were higher rates of injury in Aboriginal people in the region than any other part of the state.
Dr Douglas said the majority of those injuries were sustained by road accidents.
"Within our Aboriginal youth, that's in the age group from 15 to 24, two to three of those youth will succumb each year to injury.
"Of those young men and women that we thrive with and enjoy their company, to lose two or three of them in one year is quite a shocking and disturbing figure."
But Dr Douglas said a big part of making a significant difference is getting the community to take the lead on making changes.
"It's fine for people like me to advocate on behalf of the community, but ultimately it is the community who will determine how they go forth."

|Vauxhall Cross - spot the bike lane. There is one. It's the width of your handle bars. Clearly not enough space for more
Courtesy ibikelondon blog
No amount of training makes you feel this is a safe place to use a bike. Last week, Olympic cyclist Nicole Cooke told The Times: "There are also junctions in London that need sorting out to make cyclists less vulnerable. I certainly wouldn't fancy riding across Vauxhall Cross." But if you're coming from Wandsworth or Stockwell, this is the only way to reach central London and you have no choice but to cycle through it.
In that context, I am encouraged by the way The Times is raising the issue of safer cycling in our cities. I noticed in today's edition that David Cameron has committed to support the initiative and Julian Huppert (LibDem) has secured a three hour debate later this month. If you read this blog and think cycling is important, you should write to your MP and ask them to make sure they attend the debate. You can do that by clicking on The Times link here.
However, the same edition of today's Times quotes roads minister Mike Penning, who seems to think that cycling is already accounted for in the government's budgets and plans. Note that it isn't Mike Penning who wants a debate about safety for people on bikes, it's the MP for Cambridge, not the MP who is responsible for our roads. Penning talks about how the government is giving billions to local councils to spend on "transport improvements, including measures for cyclists". The reality is the vast majority of that money is going on new or wider roads, on electric car infrastructure and virtually none of it on infrastructure that will help people choose to use their bike rather than their car. The prime minister pledges his support but his minister is simply showing the support is little more than words.
Most people don't use bicycles to get from A to B in this country. The reason is simple. Most people look at the roads and think, no chance am I putting myself on a bicycle in the middle of four lanes of motor traffic and then turning right across that junction. As one local councillor put it in Cornwall this week: 'parents told me it was not safe, and that's why many choose to drive'.
And it's in that context that I want to laud some very recent changes in thinking at Labour-controlled Southwark Council, which yesterday announced plans to work on a 'network of safe routes for cyclists'. Yesterday's press release stated very clearly that the council will build 'safe, cycle routes free of intimidatory traffic for those who travel across the borough by bike'. Surveys, says the council, 'show that many people want to cycle but are put off by fear of traffic. This initiative aims to reduce those fears.'
This is the sort of language that makes sense, nothing like the obfuscation and denials of Mike Penning. It is also a significant shift in tone from the Labour administration at Southwark council. A couple of weeks ago the London SE1 website pointed out how the Southwark councillor responsible for cyclists' safety in the borough said that he would spend his time and money to 'focus on equipping cyclists with the skills to interact with other traffic rather than building a network of segregated routes'. This blog lambasted that intention as utterly out-of-touch and irresponsible. It is encouraging to see that same Labour councillor now supports a proper network where people will feel it is safe and sensible to use a bike.
Unfortunately, the Southwark press release also contains a cautionary note which is this: "We are also committed to lobbying Transport for London to ensure that the roads they are responsible for are as safe as possible....nine out of the ten most dangerous junctions on the borough are under the control of TfL." What that means is that Southwark has no power over the big main roads that run through the borough and are controlled by the Mayor, Boris Johnson - places similar to Vauxhall Cross (in Lambeth but controlled by Boris Johnson).
|Plenty of space to make cycling safer on roads that are
controlled by Boris Johnson in Southwark
But the early signs are that Boris is listening but not yet implementing. Over at Euston Circus, the Mayor has announced a consultation on a new junction layout at the top of Tottenham Court Road. This consultation was announced after Boris Johnson had promised 'a step change in the way engineers think when planning road layouts'. Well, they clearly didn't have a step change here. The junction will be reduced from six lanes to three. And people on bikes will be expected to cycle bravely along these extra narrow lanes.
The Mayor needs to demonstrate he realises that the way his engineers design London's road network has an impact on the way we get around on London's streets. For people who use bikes on London's streets, that can have lethal consequences. Another blogger puts this point extremely well:
"The local police safer neighbourhood team were out on my commute home tonight warning cyclists about breaking the law on Victoria Park Road. They seemed to accept, though, that Hackney Council's failure to provide safe lanes on an important cycling route was causing scores of cyclists to either put themselves in danger or conflict with pedestrians on the (also inadequate) pavements. I'm also hopeful from my chat with the SNT officer that the police in Hackney are actually already advocating for better infrastructure."
I think it's time that London's Mayor demonstrates that his much promised 'cycling revolution' actually has some legs. And he needs to start by actually building the infrastructure to support it. After an outcry by councillors and residents, Southwark's Labour council seems to have realised that too. It's not about building segregated bike lanes all over London. It is about building our road infrastructure so that there are plenty of 'safe, cycle routes free of intimidatory traffic for those who travel across the borough by bike'. Provided they get on and build it, then this is absolutely spot-on, in my view.

The Hand of God, Part 3: Bee swarms, poisonous snakes, and the fiery orb of death
April 24, 2012 § 14 Comments
DJ got the bikes loaded up and we went to pick up Roadchamp. He was waiting at the curb with four sets of spare wheels, a 75-lb. bag, and his trophy from Vlees Huis Ronde 2010. This enormous sculpture consisted of a giant block of wood with a meat cleaver embedded in it. "What's the trophy for, dude?" I asked.
"It's going with us. To let the competition know what they're up against."
"Like, somebody attacks and you're going to brain them with it?"
Roadchamp was unfazed and loaded the thing in the Suburban, which listed a few degrees starboard as a result. We next picked up King Harold, who, not to be outdone by Roadchamp, had a bike bag heavier than Roadchamp's, filled as it was with his igneous rock collection.
The drive was a pre-race bullshitting contest, with each person telling a more outlandish tale of stupidity than the one before. DJ led off with his famous "lost a tranny towing a boat outside Vegas story," which I easily topped with my "running the Alpha Spider sans oil 'til the engine seized tale," followed by Roadchamp's "we got lost riding mountain bikes and spooned overnight in a briar thicket after jumping across a waterfall until we were almost rescued by the sheriff narrative," followed by DJ's "broken femur on Bronco epic," which I had to totally p*wn with "the time I bow and arrow target practiced one day on the public golf course legend" which totally shut everyone the fuck up, except King Harold, who admitted that he'd never "had an adventure, gotten lost, been arrested, sunk a boat, crashed a car, killed anyone by mistake, or been in jail" although there was one time when his dad fell out of a chair and all the kids laughed really hard.
When we got to Bakersfield it was already 107 degrees. We parked next to G$, Axena, and Mighty Mouse, who were trying to put up a tent with half of its legs broken. Fortunately, King Harold, DJ, and Roadchamp are all engineers, so by the time we finished the canvas was torn and the other half of the legs were broken. I slammed a tuna sandwich and a couple of bananas, loaded up with three water bottles, and we rolled to the line.
The ref began with, "The center rule line is permanently enforced for all eternity by cement trucks and crazed pickups going the other way and by angry people with loaded guns. Cross the line and you will be relegated to the coroner's office. Also, at the bottom of the first climb there is a massive swarm of stinging bees. Close your mouths. Finally, when you pull off the side of the road to quit or just to die, watch out for the poisonous snakes that are everywhere. Riders ready! Go!!"
Pain is intelligence leaving your body, or, what doesn't kill you makes you pretty much an invalid
Vlees Huis Ronde, which in Dutch means "How'd you like getting fucked in the throat with a sharp stick while having your balls slowly roasted over a campfire?" has quickly become a place that racers avoid with a passion. Its first year, the 45+ field had 30 finishers. Word spread that it was a brutal and nasty race, and riders flocked to test their mettle in 2011. Forty finished. This year, everyone who'd wanted any had gotten a taste of this beastly desert beatdown, and barely 45 racers signed up. Twenty-three finished.
The soul-destroying heat and relentless climbing whittled the field down by half in short order. Somewhere up the last steep climb on the first lap, I think it was after the second turnaround coming up the backside of Leibert's Corner, I realized I was up to my old tricks again: glued to the wheel of the craziest dude in the race.
This hairy-legged wanker was riding a vintage 1980's steel DeRosa with "Diamante" tubing (Srsly? Diamond tubing?) and downtube shifters, and each time we hit a climb he would plunge from deep in the red zone into the purple zone and from there into the wobble off into the gravel zone. With me on his wheel, stupidly, of course.
By the second lap our tightly knit group of people who all hated each other was feeling the effects of the heat. Roadchamp's stitches from his 12-hour oral surgery the day before the race had come loose, and every time he exhaled, a spray of blood blew out like spit fired from a misting machine. The steel bike dude had received a brief graveside service where everyone threw their empty water bottles and GU wrappers at his corpse as we rode by. Giants of the road such as Thing 2 had pedaled off into oblivion. King Harold had turned the ride into a solo pedal through purgatory.
The only people left were the gritty, the tough, and those who can only be called "too stupid to quit and/or so poor that it's worth a $15,000 hospital bill for the chance to win $37." However hard up and miserable we all were, though, it was about to get that much worse.
[Tune in tomorrow for "Wanky Learns the Difference between Self-Preservation and Self-Immolation"]

Wanker, you're killing me. Stop teasing. Get to the part where your head blew off and out popped a swarm of evil bees which flew down our throats and ate our livers….
King Harold never had an adventure? How about going through the back window of a parked van in Hermosa Beach- ask him about that one some time.
I'm just impressed you stayed out for lap two. I was one-and-done with a vengeance. Ugh.
You're F'n killing me with your depiction of our lovely community nestled in the armpit of the Central Valley! Keep up the great wordsmithing! And I think M Hut will truly enjoy your image of the "Old Hairy legged dude on the Pinarrello!" He's a tough little bastard! Take a look at last years results at Everest Challenge! I think he managed like a top 10 on that 30+ lbs sled? Hope you're dumb enough to come back up here for some more abuse for districts? It should really be Scorched Earth HOT by then!!
The suspense is killing me! Fast forward to the part where your head blew off and a swarm of angry wasps blasted out and bee-lined down the throats of the survivors where they feasted on liver and gizards causing a jim jones like death sleep in the middle of the road later to be turned to a sticky paste when the truckers steamrolled the piles of stupid bony little idiots still clutching their beeping garmins…

Former 9/11 memorial manager's suit says he was fired for safety concerns
NEW YORK – A former manager at the Sept. 11 memorial was fired for raising health and security concerns at one of the most security-conscious places in the world, he said in a lawsuit filed Friday.
As facilities director, Thomas Cancelliere alerted his bosses that the water in the memorial's signature fountains carried illness-causing bacteria, the exit gates were too narrow and could hinder an evacuation, and there were no security checks at a public parking garage directly below the off-site room where the memorial's millions of visitors are screened, the lawsuit said.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Cancelliere's concern for the safety of visitors was not shared by his supervisors," who told him the issues weren't his responsibility or were being addressed, even though they weren't, the lawsuit said. It seeks unspecified damages under the state whistle-blower-protection law.
Cancelliere, 67, was fired last month in what his bosses said was cost-cutting but he calls retaliation, according to the suit, filed in a Manhattan state court. No one else was axed at the time, it said.
The nonprofit memorial foundation spent about $28 million last year and is ramping up to lay out $60 million a year once an accompanying museum opens, including about $12 million a year on security.
Cancelliere is well versed in the security concerns that envelop the memorial site: He's a retired plant and facilities manager for the World Trade Center, where the memorial plaza now stands. He left the government agency that runs the trade center in 1996, held other jobs and then started in November 2010 as facilities chief for the privately run memorial, which has drawn more than 4.5 million visitors since its outdoor plaza opened in September 2011.
The next summer, he noted to his boss that no one was examining cars at the garage under the memorial's "welcome site," where its visitors go through security checks in a residential building down the block from the memorial itself, the lawsuit said. An elaborate "vehicle security center" is being built at the trade center site itself, where a truck bomb in an underground garage killed six people and injured nearly 1,000 in a 1993 terrorist attack.
His boss told him it wasn't his job to worry about security at the screening room garage, according to the lawsuit.
"Here he is, as the director of facilities, and has a right to be concerned about the issues" in the suit, said his lawyer, Douglas H. Wigdor.
This year, Cancelliere told his supervisor the fountains' disinfecting system wasn't built properly, and water tests had found the bacteria that cause Legionnaire's disease, Cancelliere's lawsuit said. People can get the disease from breathing in contaminated water vapor, though most people exposed to the bacteria don't become ill, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Cancelliere's boss said the problem would be handled, but nothing was done, the suit said.
Cancelliere's troubles came to a head after two memorial security guards complained this fall that the screening room was overcrowded and badly ventilated, the lawsuit said. Cancelliere says he told superiors the complaints were on-target, and he recommended air tests, crowd control and other measures.
He was told the issue was being resolved and that he shouldn't worry about it, according to the suit. When Cancelliere pressed, he was chastised that he needed to "get along better" with his colleagues, his suit said. He was fired about two weeks later.
Through his lawyer, Cancelliere declined to be interviewed.
The New York memorial says his claims are baseless and Cancelliere was fired because he failed to meet performance standards.

Crimea is going to be part of Russia, and there is nothing anybody else can do about it. The petty sanctions that the United States and the European Union are currently imposing have been discounted in advance by Moscow, and even much more serious sanctions would not move it to reconsider its actions. But Vladimir Putin still has to decide what he does next.
One option, of course, is to do nothing more. He has his little local triumph in Crimea, which is of considerable emotional value to most Russians, and he has erased the loss of face he suffered when he mishandled the crisis in Kiev so badly. If he just stops now, those sanctions will be quietly removed in a year or two, and it will be business as usual between Moscow and the West.
If it's that easy to get past the present difficulties in Moscow's relations with the U.S. and the E.U., why would Putin consider doing anything else? Because he may genuinely believe that he is the victim of a Western political offensive in Eastern Europe.
Paranoids sometimes have real enemies. NATO's behaviour since the collapse of the Soviet Union, viewed from Moscow, has been treacherous and aggressive, and it doesn't require a huge leap of the imagination to see the European Union's recent policy in Ukraine as a continuation of that policy.
After non-violent revolutions swept the Communist regimes of Eastern Europe from power in 1989, the Soviet president, Mikhail Gorbachev, made a historic deal with U.S. President George H.W. Bush. It was unquestionably the most important diplomatic agreement of the late 20th century.
Mikhail Gorbachev agreed to bring all the Soviet garrisons home from the former satellites, and even to allow the reunification of Germany — a very difficult concession when the generation of Russians that had suffered so greatly at Germany's hands was still alive.
In return, the elder President Bush promised that the countries that had previously served the Soviet Union as a buffer zone between it and Germany — Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria — would not be swept up into an expanding NATO. They would be free, but NATO's tanks and aircraft would not move a thousand kilometres (500 miles) closer to Moscow.
It was a wise deal between two men who understood the burden of history, but they were both gone from power by the end of 1992 — and Gorbachev had neglected to get the promise written into a binding treaty. So it was broken, and ALL those countries were in NATO by 2004 — together with three other countries, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, that had actually been part of the Soviet Union itself.
NATO's eastern frontier is now only 120 km (75 miles) from Russia's second city, St. Petersburg. The Russians were burned again when NATO encouraged the secession of Kosovo from Serbia (a handy precedent for Crimea's secession from Ukraine), and once more when NATO got Moscow's agreement to an emergency military intervention in Libya to stop a massacre, and expanded it into a campaign to overthrow the ruler, Muammar Gadhafi.
To Russian eyes, what has been happening in Ukraine is more of the same. If Putin believes that, then he thinks he is already in a new Cold War, and he might as well go ahead and improve his position for the coming struggle as much as possible. Specifically, he should grab as much of Ukraine as he can, because otherwise the western part will be turned into a NATO base to be used against him.
Crimea is irrelevant in this context: the Russian naval bases there are nostalgic relics from another era, of no real strategic value in the 21st century. What Putin does need, if another Cold War is coming, is control of the parts of Ukraine where Russian speakers are a majority or nearly so: not just the east, but also the Black Sea coast. But he shouldn't occupy western Ukraine, because he would face a prolonged guerilla war if he did.
This is all extremely paranoid thinking, and perhaps it never passes through Putin's mind at all. But if it does, then he knows that he has just over two months to make up his mind.
If Putin allows Ukraine to hold the scheduled national election on May 25, then even the preposterous pretext he has been using for the past month to justify his meddling — that he is intervening to protect Russian-speakers from a "fascist junta" in Kiev — will vanish. So we should know fairly soon which way he is going to jump.
My money says that Putin will stop with Crimea, because he's not that paranoid, and because he understands how weak Russia is economically and how quickly it would lose a new Cold War. He has already saved his face; why run further risks? But I have been wrong in the past, once or twice.

The neighbourhoods of Hostafrancs and Sants, which both offer a wide variety of shops, restaurants and entertainment venues, form the heart of the Sants-Montjuïc district. This district covers the south-western section of Barcelona. The narrow streets at the foot of Montjuïc hill lend Hostafrancs and Sants a homely, village character. But they also have a bustling atmosphere with one of the longest shopping streets in Europe: Carrer de Sants.
As you wander along the busy shopping streets of Carrer de Sants and Carrer d'Hostafrancs it is hard to imagine Sants-Montjuïc's rural history. Until the late 19th century, this district was full of farms and vineyards. At the time, Carrer de Sants was known as Camí Ral (Royal Road) and was an important entry route to Barcelona. At the end of the 19th century, the textile industry developed on this side of the city. The old workers' houses are still inhabited to this day.
Parc de l'Espanya Industrial is located just 100 metres from Sants train station. It features an artificial lake on which people float around in rented boats. Various modern artworks are dotted around the park, such as the 9 tall towers, reminiscent of factory chimneys or lighthouses. Keep an eye out for the whimsical, iron creation Dragon without Saint George by Andrés Nagel, which is also popular as a children's slide.
Parc de l'Espanya Industrial, Carrer Muntadas 37, 08014 Barcelona
The rural past of Hostafrancs and Sants is clearly recognisable in Mercat d'Hostafrancs. This indoor market is located inside a remarkable metal structure, which towers above the Carrer de la Creu Roberta shopping street. Since 1888, its market stalls have supplied workers' families with fresh produce from the surrounding region. Stroll among the stalls, where local farmers sing the praises of their goods, and taste the traditional atmosphere of 19th-century Barcelona. The market is open daily from 7:00 to 14:30 (closed on Sundays).

For around a century, the avenue Paral.lel has been popular among local bohemians as Barcelona's Broadway. The same goes for El Molino theatre: in the past it staged daring cabaret acts, while today modern shows are also performed. The windmill sails above the entrance are iconic, although they are no longer the originals. The theatre was closed for almost 15 years and fell into disrepair, until a group of artists and entrepreneurs joined forces and re-opened the new El Molino in 2010. The lunchtime shows are enjoyable, from Wednesday to Sunday at 14:00.

ARLINGTON, Texas
— Josh Hamilton stood in the outfield Friday night and found himself holding his breath when a ball went into the stands, especially the upper decks.
He couldn't help but still hear 6-year-old Cooper Stone, screaming for his father who tumbled over a railing in the left-field seats as he reached out to catch a ball tossed his way by the Texas Rangers outfielder.
"You couldn't help but think about it," Hamilton said the night after the fatal accident. "You hope nothing like that happens again. … Red flags go up in your mind because you take things for granted for so long because it doesn't happen, and then all of a sudden it happens and then you start thinking about more things."
And then in the sixth inning Friday night, Hamilton again was involved in an incident with a fan.
While batting in the sixth, Hamilton hit a foul ball that struck a male fan sitting about five rows behind the third-base dugout.
Stadium personnel immediately tended to the fan, who had blood on his face and required stitches. Rangers officials said the fan was treated at the stadium and was OK. They didn't identify him or provide additional details.
Hamilton said the fan had his head down and wasn't looking toward the field.
"I saw it happen," Hamilton said. "Again."
It's been an emotional 24 hours for the Rangers and Hamilton, who can still picture Thursday's night fatal fall in slow motion.
"I threw the ball and saw him go for it and saw him just tip right over the edge there," Hamilton said. "When it happened, it was just disbelief."
Firefighter Shannon Stone, who only minutes earlier had called out to Hamilton for a foul ball, fell headfirst 20 feet onto concrete during the second inning and died about an hour later.
"It's just hard for me, hearing that little boy screaming for his daddy. … That's one of the main things I remember," Hamilton said. "It's definitely on my mind and in my heart. I can't stop from praying enough for them."
Hamilton said he is relying on his Christian faith, just as he has during an inspiring comeback from cocaine and alcohol addictions that almost kept him from ever playing in the major leagues.
"It's still an emotional attachment because I was part of what happened, so it's something I have to deal with," Hamilton said. "It's nothing that's going to obviously make me go back to where I was or anything like that. I have a lot of people that are supporting me and calling me and encouraging me."
The reigning AL MVP, whose major league debut in 2007 came almost eight years after he was drafted as the No. 1 overall pick, was selected by fans to start his fourth consecutive All-Star game next week.
Rangers manager Ron Washington had offered to give Hamilton Friday off, but he wanted to play.
"You pray, and you just understand that there's nothing that you can do to change it now," Hamilton said. "We live in a fallen world and things you try to do good, try to make people happy or put a little joy in their day, something can go wrong. You just trust God."
After Hamilton picked up another foul ball earlier in the second inning Thursday night and tossed it to a ball girl, he heard someone in the stands call out, "Hey, Hamilton, how about the next one."
When the left fielder turned around, he saw Stone and the boy whose favorite player is Hamilton.
"I just gave him a nod, and I got the next one and threw it in that direction," Hamilton said. "When I glanced up there, the first person I saw was the dad and the boy. And it looked like somebody who would love to have a baseball."
That next one came when Oakland's Conor Jackson hit a ball that ricocheted into the outfield.
Hamilton tossed it up, and Stone tumbled over the railing, landing in an area out of sight from the field behind the 14-foot-high outfield wall.
"Nobody's at fault at all. Nobody should feel responsibility. Not anybody," Athletics manager Bob Melvin said.
"Hopefully Hamilton is fine … hopefully his teammates and family and everybody help him," Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "It's not his fault. Hopefully we try to forget this day, but it's going to be very tough to forget."
When Hamilton returned to left field after the Rangers batted in the second, he went over to the fence and asked how the man was. Hamilton was told Stone had hurt his arms and his head but was talking and asking about his son.
"Immediately, I thought he was going to be OK," Hamilton said. "But then found after the game that he had passed on. It's just a shock. … It's just a freak accident, so it's pretty surreal. It brings things into perspective, how quickly lives can change, in a blink of an eye and very unexpectedly."
Hamilton said he planned to reach out to the Stone family.
After getting home Thursday night, Hamilton said his wife and his kids stayed up with him for a while, talking to him and encouraging him.
Although Hamilton still expects to toss balls to fans in the stands, the tragic incident will make him think every time he tosses that ball now.
"You do it so many times, you just don't think about it," he said. "That's what the game's all about. Fans come, they pay to see you play, they want to have a good experience at the ballpark and with player interaction, that's part of the good experience. … You'll look carefully at where the fans are, how high they are up, what's the railing like. All these things will come into play now."

Born in Jamaica in 1963, Claudia Rankine earned her BA in English from Williams College and her MFA in poetry from Columbia University.
She is the author of five collections of poetry: Citizen: An American Lyric (Graywolf Press, 2014), which received the 2016 Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt Book Prize for Poetry, the 2015 Forward Prize for Poetry, and the 2014 National Book Critics Circle Award in Poetry; Don't Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric (Graywolf Press, 2004); PLOT (Grove Press, 2001); The End of the Alphabet (Grove Press, 1998); and Nothing in Nature is Private (Cleveland State University Poetry Center, 1995), which received the Cleveland State Poetry Prize.
Rankine has edited numerous anthologies, including The Racial Imaginary: Writers on Race in the Life of the Mind (Fence Books, 2015), American Poets in the Twenty-First Century: The New Poetics (Wesleyan University Press, 2007), and American Women Poets in the Twenty-First Century: Where Lyric Meets Language (Wesleyan University Press, 2002). Her plays include Provenance of Beauty: A South Bronx Travelogue, commissioned by the Foundry Theatre and Existing Conditions, co-authored with Casey Llewellyn. She has also produced a number of videos in collaboration with John Lucas, including "Situation One."
Of her book Don't Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric, an experimental multi-genre project that blends poetry, essays, and images, poet Robert Creeley said: "Claudia Rankine here manages an extraordinary melding of means to effect the most articulate and moving testament to the bleak times we live in I've yet seen. It's master work in every sense, and altogether her own."
In 2013, Rankine was elected a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets. Mark Doty has praised her selection, saying: "Claudia Rankine's formally inventive poems investigate many kinds of boundaries: the unsettled territory between poetry and prose, between the word and the visual image, between what it's like to be a subject and the ways we're defined from outside by skin color, economics, and global corporate culture. This fearless poet extends American poetry in invigorating new directions."
Her honors include the Jackson Poetry Prize, as well as fellowships from the Lannan Foundation and the National Endowments for the Arts. In 2005, Rankine was awarded the Academy Fellowship for distinguished poetic achievement by the Academy of American Poets. In 2016, Rankine was awarded a MacArthur "Genius" Grant and named a United States Artists Zell fellow in literature. In 2017, she founded the Racial Imaginary Institute, a "a moving collaboration with other collectives, spaces, artists, and organizations towards art exhibitions, readings, dialogues, lectures, performances, and screenings that engage the subject of race." She is currently a Frederick Iseman Professor of Poetry at Yale University.

text: Hi Steve, Your site was unavailable, so I cannot comment on your N-body method. But if you use a communication ring you might well be calculating the full N(N-1)/2 interactions, which is computationally very expensive and not necessary for many N-body problems. Tree based methods lower the computational complexity to O(N lnN), or even O(N). The current most efficient O(N) Fast Multipole like algorithms is by Walter Dehnen (http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0003209). Such calculations are approximate but with a tunable accuracy parameter to the wished level. Then on a single PC one can run typically a N=10^5 problem in a matter of days, what would require a large cluster at the same speed with the O(N^2) "exact" straight algorithm, or with special purpose GRAPE hardware. Of course nowadays the best of the best is to build a cluster of PC's with each one or several GRAPE boards, which is not pure Beowulf since the GRAPE boards do not belong to commodity hardware. On the question of ring network vs. switch in your setup, for the O(N^2) algorithm most of the time is spent in computation as soon as N exceeds a few 1000, so the communication method is of secondary importance.

Yes, I've been told the same. There are two veins of thought going on here.One, not to accidentally spit out some of the Holy Gifts which might still be on your lips, etc.This also includes no chewing gum, eating something "on the bone", eating an apple where you throw away the core, or taking a nap for a few hours, so you don't drool on your pillow.Second thought process is that you are blessed to have the Holy Gifts within you. While we always have the Holy Spirit within us, we now have "the Body and Blood of Christ" within us.People venerate the holy icons because they are the holiest items near them. As people come forward to partake of the Holy Gifts (and the priest has not yet emerged with the Chalice) people kiss the icon (we have a tetrapod with an icon in the center of the nave) and then get in line.However, IF the priest has already emerged with the Chalice, and Christ is standing before us....we no longer kiss the icon....because God is standing before us and the saints are now secondary. Does that make sense?Same as you ask a priest for his blessing when you come up to him. However, if the bishop enters the room, you are no longer to kiss the priest's hand, only the bishop's.This is the same idea. You have now partaken of the Body and Blood of Christ. God is within you. You are "special" and shouldn't walk around kissing everything...because the only truly worthy "thing" to kiss is God, and He is inside of you, at that moment.I may have worded this poorly....but, this is my understanding of the tradition.I am interested in what others think.
So what is the antidorion for? We also drink there an our lips touch cups.I was taught that we can't do it too but at the Church I currently attend no one cares.
If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.
The Episcopallian road is easy and wide, for many go through it to find destruction. lol sorry channeling Isa.
But why I can take a sip from acup and cannot kiss a cross? What's the difference?
Um, has anyone thought about the fact that there's coffee hour right after church- at least at my parish- and pretty much everybody has coffee and cookies? I'm not chrismated yet, but after I am, will I get in trouble if I have a drink?
As I said - there are two reasons behind this train of thought.First, is not expelling the Gifts onto another object, and second, is showing respect to God over other people and things.The first is obvious - don't spit, don't lick...etc. The zapyvka is to help you ensure that you have swallowed the Holy Gifts - but, there's no guarantee...so, you should still be careful. There difference between sipping from a cup and kissing the icons - each hits on the different reason mentioned above.The danger in sipping from the cup, I think you are stating that you fear that you might be leaving behind some of the Holy Gifts. This is why we should open wide...and NOT touch the spoon with our lips.The danger from kissing the icons...in addition to transferring Holy Gifts via spittle....is that you are showing respect to the secondary, when you already have the primary within you.This would be akin to walking past the bishop and asking the priest for a blessing. The ONE thing that you should respect most, is within you at that very moment....unless you can work your lips around to give yourself a good kiss...there's little else worthy to be kissed right then and there.To be on the safe side...when folks move in for a kiss of greeting after I've received Communion....all they get is my cheek....feel free to kiss me all you like! I however, do not kiss them back.
The zapivka cup is specially cleansed.
Quote from: Shanghaiski on April 10, 2012, 05:12:38 PMThe zapivka cup is specially cleansed.When I used to be an altar server we used just to wash them with water.
Quote from: Michał Kalina on April 11, 2012, 04:52:48 AMQuote from: Shanghaiski on April 10, 2012, 05:12:38 PMThe zapivka cup is specially cleansed.When I used to be an altar server we used just to wash them with water.No special drain going right into the ground?
our zapivka cups are plastic cups and get tossed in the trash post usage. I don't get kissing a hand cross at the end of liturgy if you have received communion. If you are serving with the bishop you don't kiss his hand post communion if you hand him something because you have taken communion so why kiss a cross if you have taken communion at the end of liturgy? makes no sense.
EXCELLENT!!!! I love it when the clergy lay down the law!!!!When that swine flu was going around....we ALMOST had the same thing happen....but, thankfully did not.We had folks grumble, but, our pastor did what he thought was right!The shepherd should lead his flock, not the flock lead the shepherd!

text: ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan will be on the outside looking in when the NCAA tournament begins. Again. The Wolverines won 21 games -- their highest regular-season total since 1998 -- and had a .500 record in the Big Ten. But they didn't have many quality victories and were likely hurt by a nonconference schedule that included just three tough games and all were lost. Michigan is headed to the NIT for a second straight season and third time in four years under coach Tommy Amaker, whose sixth season fell short of his stated goal of making the NCAAs. "It's fair to expect us to get there this year," Amaker said in November. Relegated to the second-tier tournament, the third-seeded Wolverines (21-12) will host sixth-seeded Utah State (23-10) on Tuesday night in the first round. Amaker and his players openly pointed toward making the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1998, and even held out hope after beating Minnesota and losing to Ohio State in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals. The coach, whose future at the school has been questioned by the media, and his players was not available for comment Sunday night, but a news conference was planned for Monday afternoon. Messages were left with Amaker on Sunday night. Unlike last year, the Wolverines did not gather at Crisler Arena to watch the NCAA tournament selection show on TV. Michigan missed out on the NCAA tournament last season with 18 wins and an 8-8 record in the conference. "I can feel for Michigan," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said in East Lansing. "I said all along, they had the second toughest conference schedule."

Yep.. but you're still faced with the network boot issue, cluster or no.

Indeed, but when I asked the original question, it wasn't clear whether there was an "easy" way to support the minimal functionality need to respond to PXE in the laptop windows context. Still isn't clear that there IS an *easy* way to do this.. Running DHCPD and TFTPD under VMWare, for instance, isn't necessarily "easy", nor is running those under cygwin. In the latter case, I can see all sorts of peculiar interactions with the other MS internet services running. > with initrd, you don't need kernel nfs-root support, and could >certainly get by mounting a cifs share from the windows box. heck, with a >specialized enough system, you could probably put _everything_ you need in >the initrd - no one says you have to do the normal init process, >/etc/rc.d, etc. James Lux, P.E.

A very happy user of both until now. Well, I mean I just hapened to discover a slight problem: if I try to callPOCO to send a message from the "mailto" line in T&C's contact list, everything freezes and I have to reboot the machine (Windows XP Professional).
Is it, eventually, normal, or did I miss a command?
Might turn to Barca, then, but I have been using T&C for more than 10 years now...and leaving a loved one, well, you know!!
Thanks for any advice!

Lashing out at Lt Governor Najeeb Jung for not recommending dissolution of the House as per the Cabinet's decision, Arvind Kejriwal, who resigned as Delhi Chief Minister yesterday, said that he was "openly flouting" the decisions taken by a majority government.
"I am questioning the logic of his decision (of not recommending dissolution of the House)," Kejriwal said, adding that the constitution says that he is bound by the decision taken by the Cabinet of a majority government.
"He did not agree to many of our decisions. Our Cabinet took a decision of having this session outside the House. Even he did not agree to that. He was openly flouting the constitution and I don't know why," he told news channels.
In his resignation letter yesterday, Kejriwal had recommended Jung to dissolve the House and conduct fresh elections.
In his letter to President today, sources said the Lt Governor has sent a "factual report" on the situation in the national capital and has not mentioned whether national capital should be put under a spell of central rule or dissolve the House for holding elections along with Lok Sabha polls.
"Aam aadmi Party (AAP) also wants this and even the BJP has favoured re-election today. I dont know on what basis Najeeb Jung has taken this decision.
"This decision is completely wrong because any recommendation by an elected government is normally binding (on the Lt Governor)," Kejriwal said.
He claimed that the decision to recommend dissolution of the House was of a majority government.
"Ours was not a minority government. Before resignation, we had got passed a Money bill in the assembly. This means ours was a majority government.
"If a majority government recommends something then it is mandatory for the Governor to accept the recommendations," he added.
He alleged that the decision was taken because the Congress did not want fresh elections. However, when asked whether the Lt Governor was acting at the behest of the Congress, he denied it.

Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) is a misdemeanor unless it is your third offense, then it is elevated to a felony. The exception to that is if there are aggravating factors, namely causing serious injury or death while driving under the influence. Even if it is your first offense, you will not find yourself facing the standard 93 or 180-day misdemeanor. Instead, you will be facing up to 15 years in prison for a serious felony. With practically no reasonable chance of a non-felony plea offer, you need to be represented by an experienced OWI lawyer. The standard OWI defenses still apply and we apply the same approach as are other OWI cases. However, these charges have the added element that the drunk driving caused someone to be injured or killed.
OWI, OWVI, OUID Causing Serious Injury
- Up to five years in prison
- $1,000-5,000 in fines plus court costs
- 180 days vehicle immobilization unless forfeited
- License plate confiscation
- $2,000 in driver's responsibility fees ($1,000 for two consecutive years)
OWI, OWVI, OUID Causing Death
- Up to 15 years in prison
- $2,500-10,000 in fines plus court costs
- 180 days vehicle immobilization unless forfeited
- License plate confiscation
- $2,000 in driver's responsibility fees ($1,000 for two consecutive years)
Additional Felony Charges
In addition to the OWI causing injury charge, you could also face additional and more serious felony charges if the victim dies. Many prosecutors will add charges of Manslaughter with a Motor Vehicle and even Second Degree Murder. Here is what the prosecutor has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt in those cases.
Manslaughter with a Motor Vehicle Elements
1)Defendant was driving a car
2)In a grossly negligent manner
3)That substantially caused the death of another person
Second Degree Murder Elements
1)Defendant caused the death of another person
2)With malice
3)And without justification or excuse
Causation Element
Causation is a vitally important factor in both OWI Causing Serious Injury and OWI Causing Death. It is not enough that the defendant was driving with an unlawful blood alcohol level and was in accident where someone was hurt or killed. Michigan does not apply it as a strict liability crime. This was a clarified a few years ago by the Michigan Supreme Court in the case of People v Feezel, where defendant was charged with OUID Causing Death when THC was found in his system.
In Feezel, the Court held that the trial court was wrong to not allow the defense to prevent evidence of the defendant's intoxication. The Court held that evidence of gross negligence is relevant if it tends to prove the decedent may have acted in wanton or reckless disregard for the result of his actions. Evidence of defendant's intoxication could be an intervening cause of death thus breaking the chain of causation between the defendant and the decedent. The prosecutor still has to prove that defendant's intoxicated driving was a substantial cause of the other person's death and evidence that the defendant was acting grossly negligent, is relevant to determining causation.
Causation is a crucial element in these felony OWI charges. It is important that you have a lawyer that is experienced in defending these types of felony OWI cases. Expert testimony and accident reconstruction are very important as well as the computer readings of the cars involved showing when the brakes were applied, acceleration, deceleration, and speeds. If charged with OWI Causing a Serious Injury, the prosecutor has to prove that the victim has suffered a serious injury that was caused by defendant's drunk driving.
