Lindsay Crosby, the youngest son of Bing Crosby from the famed crooner's first marriage, shot himself to death in a Las Virgenes apartment after learning that the inheritance he relied on to support his family was gone, a family spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Just 11 days earlier, Crosby and his three brothers had been told by attorneys that the oil investments their late mother, Wilma Wyatt, made for them had gone broke, said Marilyn Reiss, spokeswoman for Lindsay's older brother, Gary.
For Lindsay, the news was the "last straw" after years of battling alcoholism, depression and the strain of living under the shadow of his famous father, Reiss said.
"Maybe if he had been a meaner person, he could have handled it," Reiss reported Gary Crosby saying after learning of his brother's death. "He was too sensitive."
Crosby, 51, was found dead late Monday afternoon from a single gunshot wound to his head. A small-caliber rifle was nearby.
Crosby had been staying at the apartment on Bravo Lane while undergoing treatment for alcoholism in nearby Calabasas, Reiss said. He was due to return home to his third wife, Susan, and two sons in Sherman Oaks this weekend, she said. Crosby had two other sons by previous marriages.
Alcoholism was only one of many problems that seemed to dog Lindsay, Reiss said. He had a nervous breakdown in 1962, went through two divorces and was arrested several times for drunk driving and battery.
He never held a steady job, and his own attempts at an entertainment career, including appearances in such low-budget films as "The Glory Stompers," and "Free Grass," were dismal failures.
In 1983, Lindsay sided with his brother, Gary, who had written a book, "Going My Own Way," in which he described Bing Crosby as an abusive tyrant who beat his sons.
"I hope it clears up a lot of old lies," Lindsay said at the time.
Bing Crosby married actress Kathryn Grant in 1957 and raised a second family. At his death in 1977 at age 73, he left his money in a blind trust, which none of the sons--whose youthful escapades were well documented by the news media--could touch until age 65.
Phillip Crosby, another of the Crosby brothers, said in a magazine interview six years ago: "My father thought, 'How much trouble will they be able to get into then?' "
Reiss said the recent glut in the oil markets wreaked havoc on Wyatt's investments. Gary Crosby told Reiss that the four brothers, who also include Dennis, Phillip's twin, were shocked.
But he said for himself: "My life is one shock after another. I'll find a job as a backup singer, or a gofer on a studio lot."
No one knew the depth of Lindsay 's despair--except now, in retrospect, Reiss said.

I was raised in Quincy in the late '80s and '90s on both Chinese-American food and more traditional Cantonese food. I had plenty of my mother's cooking on weeknights, supplemented by dim sum on weekends, and the occasional holiday banquet in Chinatown. With friends, I would sometimes get Chinese takeout after school or take weekend trips to Kowloon in Saugus, enjoying the sugar-laden sauces and deep-fried foods I never ate at home.
My father worked at a Weymouth restaurant that served Chinese-American food, then opened his own bakery in Quincy, before settling at the Ritz-Carlton in Boston, where he prepared Asian-inflected dishes for fine dining. While this hybrid cooking was not his preference, he didn't mind it every so often. A few months before he passed away in 2011, he called me to discuss a General Tso's chicken recipe I had posted on my blog (Appetite
forchina.com). "It looks great and I'm getting hungry just looking at it," he said. "But here's a tip: Toast the sesame seeds. It makes the dish much more aromatic."
Chinese food in this country is a result of adapting cooking to local tastes. Like all cross-cultural dishes, General Tso's chicken or beef with broccoli can be very good if prepared correctly. When I go around to talk about my book, "The Chinese Takeout Cookbook," I am often asked to distinguish between food that is "authentic" and food that isn't. The word "authentic'' is itself a vague term. Food has always been reconfigured to the tastes, ingredients, and needs of a region. The changes in Chinese restaurants in Boston is a perfect reflection of this adaptability.

Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez says he won the quarterback competition with Geno Smith, and only a shoulder injury prevented him from remaining the team's starting quarterback. But the man who had final say on who won the quarterback competition didn't see it that way.
Jets coach Rex Ryan told reporters today that he never declared Sanchez the winner.
"Well, I never said he won the competition. I didn't say that," Ryan said.
Ryan was asked if Sanchez's comments run counter to the company line.
"That's his opinion," Ryan said. "And it's not about a company line. Apparently if that's what he said, that's his opinion. Again, there is the ongoing competition if you will."
Ryan said he still hopes Sanchez's shoulder rehabilitation goes well enough for Sanchez to be cleared to play this year. Even if there's no guarantee that Ryan will actually put Sanchez on the field.

How Would You Spend a Raise or Bonus?
Kim Lankford | Monster Contributing Writer
August 13, 2009
When we asked Monster readers what they'd be most likely to splurge on if they got a big salary bump — a new car, wardrobe or home entertainment technology — the car topped the list with 51 percent of the votes, followed by the wardrobe with 30 percent and the home entertainment center at 18 percent. But quite a few readers told us none of those choices were good options.
"How about putting the money into a retirement account, 401k or other investment?" asked one reader. "With the answers to that survey, it's no wonder people are in debt with seemingly no way out."
She's right: Several key moves can make a huge difference in your financial situation — and stretch a few hundred dollars into thousands by saving you money in interest, growing tax-free, earning you free cash from your employer or protecting your savings. You don't have to be serious with all the money, but everyone can learn from these seven steps recommended by real readers. They're listed in the order of priority, starting with what would have the biggest impact on your finances.
1. "If I got a huge surge in salary, I would purchase health insurance for me and my husband."
Without health insurance, big medical bills could quickly eat up your savings and jeopardize the rest of your financial plans. In fact, one of the most common causes of bankruptcy is medical expenses.
One good way to keep health insurance costs down, especially if your employer doesn't provide coverage, is to buy a high-deductible health insurance policy. Raising the deductible will cut your premiums and enable you to open a health savings account (HSA), which can give you triple tax benefits and allows you to roll over the money year to year.
To be HSA-eligible, your health insurance policy's deductible must be at least $1,150 for individual coverage or $2,300 for families in 2009. You can then contribute up to $3,000 for individual coverage or $5,950 for families in 2009. Those 55 and older can contribute an extra $1,000. Your contributions are tax-deductible and grow tax-deferred and then can be used tax-free for medical expenses in any year. If you still have cash in the account at age 65, you can use it for anything without penalty.

The U.S. Congress finally passed a federal budget and on Wednesday it gained funding, but they left out a key component relied on by Western states.
Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT), which compensates counties for missing out on property tax revenues due to large tracts of tax-exempt federal lands, was zeroed out in the omnibus appropriations legislation.
The neglected budget item is a blow to local counties who depend on the federal obligation to help pay for local services, from law enforcement and social services to education and infrastructure.
Montezuma County, containing 70 percent public lands, is missing out on $163, 243 in PILT funding authorized for 2014, reports county administrator Melissa Brunner.
"We will see across-the-board budget cuts to all departments without it," she said.
Dolores County will have an approximate $140,000 budget shortfall because of the lack of funding; La Plata county $600,000; and Archuleta County $1 million.
U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton (R-Cortez), along with 60 Western legislators, voted against the appropriation bill because of the PILT funding omission. In a phone interview minutes after the vote, he called the oversight "a blatant disregard" of a very important Western issue.
"It is a primary funding mechanism for 29 counties in the 3rd Congressional District I represent and we are dissatisfied that leadership does not understand the importance of PILT to the West," Tipton said. "I don't understand the mind-set on both sides of the aisle. It is not a partisan issue."
Colorado received nearly $32 million in PILT payments for 2013, with just over $21 million going to counties in the 3rd District.
However, there may be a solution for funding PILT on the horizon, Tipton said.
In a meeting with House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) Tipton and other Western legislators were assured funding for PILT would likely go through as an attachment to the farm bill.
"We're taking their word on it and sent a letter reminding them of their obligation," Tipton said.
But it is not a sure thing. The farm bill has been languishing and has not been passed for two years, but it is in conference committee, and observers are cautiously optimist the legislation will be voted on soon.
Colorado's U.S. senators, Michael Bennet and Mark Udall (D-CO.), along with other western representatives, have sent a letter to the conference committee urging PILT funding.
"Without an extension of PILT, rural counties will face drastic budget cuts in June and may struggle to fund the most basic of services," the letter states. "In fact, some of these counties may be faced with potential insolvency."
Udall introduced a bill earlier this week to permanently fund the program, and it was cosponsored in the House Thursday by Dean Heller (R-Nev.). Advocates are urging swift action on the Udall-Heller bill.
"PILT is not a discretionary fund to be used for other purposes," Heller stated. "It is an obligation the federal government has to any county with public lands."
Tipton expressed frustration that PILT had been ignored while at the same time the U.S. Forest Service received $178 million for new land acquisition.
The Natural Resource Committee has been "lamenting they don't have the funding to properly administer forest service lands, so why do they want more?" Tipton said. "We found funding for PILT right there," he said, nearly half of the $410,000 million PILT was authorized to receive.
It's the first time PILT was not funded since the program's inception in 1976.
"It's not a giveaway, and is rather minor compensation for the amount of administrative services counties provide on federal public lands," Tipton said.
"When an accident happens on public lands, the first responders are county sheriff and emergency staff. During the Weber Fire, when federal fire fighters arrived, the Mancos Fire Department was already on the scene fighting the fire."
About 1,850 counties in 49 states depend on some form of PILT disbursement. Last year Colorado counties received $31.9 million in PILT funding.
The irony of funding federal land agencies buy private land, removing them from the tax rolls, while defunding the mechanism to compensate local governments for the loss of property tax revenues is not lost on PILT lobbyists.
"It's not a question of whether we need the program, it is how do we pay for it," said Ryan Yates, legislative director of the National Association of Counties. ""PILT impacts counties and communities we represent and without swift passage, county operations are disrupted."

Wash. Times' Wolf "Lie[s]" To Accuse Obama Of Lying On Health Care
In a Washington Times column, Dr. Milton Wolf, a blogger who purports to be a distant cousin of the president, accused President Obama of lying about aspects of health care reform in claiming that health care reform would lower the deficit and that "there are no death panels," among other things. In fact, most of Wolf's accusations are based on persistent, long-debunked right-wing myths about health care reform.
Wolf Claims It Is A "Lie" That Health Care Reform Will Reduce Deficit
CLAIM: Health Care Reform Will Not Reduce The Deficit. In his list of "Obamacare falsehoods" that appeared in his Washington Times column, Wolf wrote "The deficit will be reduced: Lie." [Washington Times, 7/19/11 [1]]
FACT: Nonpartisan Estimates Show The Health Care Reform Bill Will Reduce The Deficit Over Next Two Decades. From the Congressional Budget Office:
CBO and JCT [Joint Committee on Taxation] estimate that enacting both pieces of legislation--H.R. 3590 and the reconciliation proposal--would produce a net reduction in federal deficits of $143 billion over the 2010-2019 period as result of changes in direct spending and revenues (see Table 1). That figure comprises $124 billion in net reductions deriving from the health care and revenue provisions and $19 billion in net reductions deriving from the education provisions.
Reflecting the changes made by the reconciliation proposal, the combined effect of enacting H.R. 3590 and the reconciliation proposal would also be to reduce federal budget deficits over the ensuing decade relative to those projected under current law--with a total effect during that decade in a broad range around one-half percent of GDP. [Congressional Budget Office, 3/20/10 [2]]
Wolf Falsely Claims Health Care Reform Includes "Death Panels"
CLAIM: The Health Care Reform Bill Includes "Death Panels." In his column, Wolf further claimed one of the "Obamacare falsehoods" about health care reform is that it doesn't contain "death panels." [Washington Times, 7/19/11 [1]]
FACT: "Death Panels" Are A Persistent Falsehood About Health Care Reform And Politifact.com's 2009 "Lie Of The Year." PolitiFact.com rated the claim that the health care reform bill includes "death panels" its 2009 "lie of the year." From PolitiFact.com:
Of all the falsehoods and distortions in the political discourse this year, one stood out from the rest.
"Death panels."
The claim set political debate afire when it was made in August, raising issues from the role of government in health care to the bounds of acceptable political discussion. In a nod to the way technology has transformed politics, the statement wasn't made in an interview or a television ad. Sarah Palin posted it on her Facebook page.
Her assertion - that the government would set up boards to determine whether seniors and the disabled were worthy of care - spread through newscasts, talk shows, blogs and town hall meetings. Opponents of health care legislation said it revealed the real goals of the Democratic proposals. Advocates for health reform said it showed the depths to which their opponents would sink. Still others scratched their heads and said, "Death panels? Really?"
The editors of PolitiFact.com, the fact-checking Web site of the St. Petersburg Times, have chosen it as our inaugural "Lie of the Year."
PolitiFact readers overwhelmingly supported the decision. Nearly 5,000 voted in a national poll to name the biggest lie, and 61 percent chose "death panels" from a field of eight finalists. [PolitiFact.com, 12/18/09 [3]]
Wolf Promotes False Claim That Waiver System Favors "Obama's Best Friends"
CLAIM: Waiver Process Favors Administration's "Best Friends." In his column, Wolf further claimed that "all of" these "Obamacare falsehoods" "com[e] before the first Obamacare waivers exempted the White House's best friends from the rules that you must follow." [Washington Times, 7/19/11 [1]]
FACT: Waivers Are Temporary, And Companies From Industries That Opposed Health Care Reform Have Been Granted Waivers. From a December 7, 2010, FactCheck.org post:
We've received several questions about whether businesses have been able to opt out of the new health care law. The companies haven't been granted permission to ignore the entire law, as the Facebook post quoted by our reader might suggest -- but many have been given one-year waivers to delay compliance with a key insurance mandate that was put into place this fall. The White House says it instituted the waiver process to enable those companies to continue to provide limited-benefits plans -- cheap, bare-bones policies called mini-med plans -- until the law is fully implemented in 2014.
The new health care law aims to eliminate low annual coverage caps like those over time, and this is where the waiver issue has come in. The law says that annual coverage limits can't be set lower than $750,000 for new policy years starting between Sept. 23, 2010 and Sept. 23, 2011. That cap will be raised each year until 2014, when the law will require companies to have no annual spending limits on most benefits in health care plans.
But, as of Dec. 3, the federal government had approved a total of 222 one-year waivers that allow the insurance plans at companies like McDonald's, Jack in the Box and Ruby Tuesday, and unions, to ignore the requirement on annual limits. Far from being "Obama's buddies," as the Internet post claimed, the restaurant industry, through the National Restaurant Association, opposed the legislation. [FactCheck.org, 12/7/10 [4]]
Wolf Further Falsely Claimed "The Earth Hasn't Warmed In Nearly 15 Years"
Wolf: "The Earth Hasn't Warmed In Nearly 15 years." In his column, Wolf further claimed:
Health care is, of course, but a single - albeit critical - front in the deceptive battle for your liberty. The Earth hasn't warmed in nearly 15 years, yet global warmists demand you surrender even more energy freedom to them with the "cap-and-trade" scheme. [Washington Times, 7/19/11 [1]]
But Warming Trend Has Been Confirmed By Repeated Measurement
Recent Warming Trend Is Established By Temperature Measurements, Other Observations. The National Climatic Data Center explains that the "warming trend that is apparent in all of the independent methods of calculating global temperature change is also confirmed by other independent observations":
Thousands of land and ocean temperature measurements are recorded each day around the globe. This includes measurements from climate reference stations, weather stations, ships, buoys and autonomous gliders in the oceans. These surface measurements are also supplemented with satellite measurements. These measurements are processed, examined for random and systematic errors, and then finally combined to produce a time series of global average temperature change. A number of agencies around the world have produced datasets of global-scale changes in surface temperature using different techniques to process the data and remove measurement errors that could lead to false interpretations of temperature trends. The warming trend that is apparent in all of the independent methods of calculating global temperature change is also confirmed by other independent observations, such as the melting of mountain glaciers on every continent, reductions in the extent of snow cover, earlier blooming of plants in spring, a shorter ice season on lakes and rivers, ocean heat content, reduced arctic sea ice, and rising sea levels. [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Climatic Data Center, accessed 1/14/11 [5] via Media Matters [6]]
Hadley Centre Data Shows Increase In Global Average Temperature. From the Met Office Hadley Centre for Climate Change:
[Met Office Hadley Centre for Climate Change, accessed 1/14/11 [7]]
IPCC: Most Of Recent Warming Is Very Likely Due To Increase In Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change -- a scientific body compiling research from thousands of scientists -- concluded in 2007 that "warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice and rising global average sea level" and that "most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely [defined in the report as a '>90%' chance] due to the observed increase in anthropogenic [human-caused] GHG [greenhouse gas] concentrations."

It'll come as no surprise that Conservation Security Program contracts were recently awarded to cotton farmers. The surprise may come in knowing the farmers in question call south-central Kansas home.
Around Anthony in Harper County, Kans., there's no expectation cotton will replace fields of golden wheat or chase off cattle, but there are substantial patches of fluffy white scattered throughout. Still, growing cotton here is incongruous, admit those tending it.
"I started farming cotton in 1999," said Ralph Arnet, who had 200 acres of the crop last year. "In the late 1990s, quite a few stripper varieties were adaptable to this area. They were typically shorter season, early varieties. We were also looking at storm-proof varieties. Later, when Roundup Ready technology came on, we found it fit well here. Those are the main reasons we're able to grow cotton."
Dusty Albright began growing cotton in 1997. "We were looking for another rotation crop, and cotton fit that for us. We were almost all wheat. We began having trouble with rye and cheatgrass — a pretty common complaint around here — and were looking to break that cycle. Now, we're growing milo, cotton, soybeans, wheat, and a little corn. We planted around 250 acres of cotton last year.
"We don't have a set cropping rotation. A lot depends on market conditions. If wheat is $5, you'd be silly to plant anything but wheat. That said, I like to plant cotton after milo. I don't know why, but we've had great experiences with that."
Arnet's cotton acreage fluctuates; in 2004 it was down. "The biggest problem with expansion is we don't own our harvesting equipment. I decided to limit cotton acres or go whole-hog — buy equipment and plant more acres. Right now, on my no-till or minimum-till ground, I'm in a wheat-cotton-grain sorghum rotation. On the cultivated ground, we go wheat-to-wheat with milo — or some other crop, depending on markets at the time — thrown in to change things up a little."
Both farmers believe the big advantage of cotton is to break the monotony.
"Historically, this area — south-central Kansas through north-central Oklahoma — has been wheat and cow country," said Albright. "That's been the case for 80 years, at least. This is some of the best hard red winter wheat country in the world. That's what this area is known for."
But with the arrival of Freedom to Farm, "we had more and more trouble," said Arnet. "There was fencerow-to-fencerow cultivation — no set-asides, nothing like that. And we've also had problems with rye and cheat(grass). That's pushed many to a new crop rotation."
Cotton came on strong as an alternative in the mid-1990s, when several cotton seed companies were involved with Extension specialists in a cotton seminar at Anthony's high school. That meeting, say the men, sparked much interest. Not long after, both decided to give cotton a shot.
"Back in 1997-98, we were having bad droughts," said Albright. "Wheat was only making 20 or 30 bushels, and prices were low. That made farmers more receptive to trying cotton."
What was the learning curve like? "Way steep, drastic," said Arnet. "Weeds were what we had to learn to deal with. We have gotten much better with control, but when we first started, we knew nothing about a Roundup Ready crop. There weren't a lot of technical folks to help check the crop closely or tell us what to do. Our farming neighbors didn't know — there just weren't many people to help."
Some guidance came from Oklahoma State University. "They had a few cotton folks come up for the first couple of years. They helped school us on cotton. After that, a couple of professional crop firms came in and began offering their services."
The last two years, there's been a slight decrease in cotton acres around Anthony. But in surrounding counties, acres have increased. "If you go west, many irrigated acres are going to cotton," said Arnet. "There's good potential there for the crop: a hotter climate with good water. I hope the cotton acres increase here in Harper County. I don't know if that will happen with such high cattle prices, though."
Having raised wheat and cattle successfully for decades, many area residents don't understand farmers turning to cotton.
"To be honest, one thing we battle against is the wheat/cattle mindset," said Albright. "When you go to your landlord wanting to try something new, you can meet a lot of resistance. We're fortunate that we own enough land. That allowed us to experiment with growing cotton."
Arnet is the likeliest candidate to buck the farming norm. Having grown up in southern California, he came to Kansas in the late 1970s with little farming knowledge. He still pines for the beach.
"I really like Kansas, but I miss the beach badly! My parents had grown up on a farm, but I knew nothing of the lifestyle. I met my wife in college and ended up back in her home state.
"I always felt I had kind of an advantage because I hadn't grown up on the farm. I was an outdoors person, so farming suited me well. But my approach to things was 'Will this work?' versus 'How did Granddad do it?' That's not to fault Granddad, at all — I just came at it a bit differently."
Albright grew up in northeast Kansas. Like Arnet, he met his wife in college and ended up farming with her father. Albright speaks of his recently deceased father-in-law in glowing terms. "He's one of the most progressive people I've ever known. He died just a month ago. He taught me a lot about farming here — but he wasn't afraid to go against the crowd.
"For years, he stressed to me, 'If you take care of the ground, it'll return the favor.' And we live by that — that's a large reason why we got the CSP contract."
Both Albright and Arnet had "the goods" in place before Terry Hodgson arrived in Anthony 18 months ago.
"They've been improving their land for a long time," said Hodgson, a National Resources Conservation Service district conservationist. "It was just a matter of them showing me what they were doing and working through the eligibility process. In the end, both of these guys had Tier 3 contracts — the highest attainable.
"This area is tough to get away from continuous wheat. Running cattle on wheat during the winter is this area's backbone. It's a hard sell to get folks away from that. Dusty and Ralph aren't the only farmers growing cotton who are CSP participants. We've got six contracts in the county."
Albright said his operation has been in a no-till system for eight years and works "hard on terraces every year to maintain proper water flow. We work on water holes. We don't like low spots in fields, and we've taken care of them in large measure."
Conservationism is an absolute, said Arnet. "To be involved in programs like CSP, you must be a conservationist. With more conscientious growers and these programs, we've seen an explosion in wildlife and an overall improvement in environmental conditions in this area."
Both men now lease land to hunters and offer one major tip for those seeking CSP contracts: keep great records.
"You have to have a plan and show how you're getting to your goal," said Arnet. "You must be an impressive record-keeper. Guys planning to enroll in CSP should strive for perfect records: yield data, fertilizer applications, chemical applications, everything."
And begin immediately, said Albright. "Don't start keeping quality records a few months before you apply for CSP. That won't swing it. You've got to have at least a couple of years' worth to get into the program."
Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman's motto for CSP was "to reward the best and motivate the rest. It's interesting to me to see how precisely that motto fits. It truly is a program for stewards of the land."

A few of the treads recently have orbitted around one or noth of these concepts - what's the distinction between them? Can they be used interchangeably? Is solipsism a rational take (concerning the reality of the external world) on the territory that narcassism appraches from an emotional angle (ie. in terms of the value placed on the self vis a vis the world, using terms like 'self-love' etc.).To what extent are they two sides of the same coin?

Rachael Leigh Cook and Daniel Gillies are now parents to a baby girl.
The "She's All That" alum and "The Vampire Diaries" actor welcomed their first child together, according to Gillies.
"it's a girl," the actor tweeted Sunday with a little poem. "the tiny new empress of my everything. she's immaculate. we're delirious."
PHOTOS: The Hollywood baby boom
This is the first child for the new parents, who married on Aug. 14, 2004. The couple did not release any further details regarding their daughter's name, birthdate or vitals.
News broke Friday that the couple had had their baby, but details were sparse, and Gillies took to Twitter then to set the record straight.
"beautiful people: baby has not arrived. yet," he wrote. "please disregard the gossip+misinformation. we'll keep you posted. Xx love d+r+?"
PHOTOS: Oddly fantastic celebrity baby names
As of last May, when Cook and Gillies announced they were expecting, Gillies, 37, seemed pretty keen on the odd celebrity baby name trend.
"A lot of people are asking whether I'd prefer a boy or a girl. In truth, it doesn't matter to me — I just can't wait to meet little Keanu Robocop," he joked.
It's going to be a busy year for the couple. Cook is starring in TNT's "Perception" with "Will & Grace" alum Eric McCormack.
The British actor will also reprise his role as fearsome original vampire Elijah Mikaelson in "The Vampire Diaries" spinoff, "The Originals," on the CW. The series premieres Thursday.

Apple had heard tales of some ordinary people who not only didn't want to spend $500 on a tablet, but also liked a 7-inch screen size too. However it didn't believe such silly stories, and filed them away in the same drawer as ghosts and goblins. Then, Amazon and Google came up with really cheap 7-inch tablets that sold by the bucket load.
This presented a problem. Apple never thought there was a market for mid-size tablets – Steve Jobs had told them so – but its competitors were proving it wrong. For the first time in a while, Apple needed to react, and in a market it simply didn't understand.
Research teams were sent to check out these cheap tablets. The results were worrying, as they saw low-cost materials, suspect build quality and worst of all, compromises everywhere they turned. "How," asked the team, "will we ever compete?"
The answer, as we learned yesterday, is that they won't.
When Apple's Phil Schiller took the stage to unveil the iPad Mini, he took direct aim the Nexus and Kindle Fire HD. But the numbers show the new product has no clear advantage over its competitors, and one number more than any other proves that Apple has no interest in engaging Google and Amazon in a race to the bottom, where $199 tablets are sold. The iPad Mini's starting price is $130 dollars more.
That's still the cheapest device that Apple has brought to market, outside the iPod line, but by building something to a price point, it couldn't stuff something new and exciting inside. So we've got old, cheap technology in a fancy new skirt. The iPad Mini is a product that was exciting in 2011, when Apple last introduced a tablet with a 1024 x 768 resolution and an A5 chip. Its only trick is to get a bit smaller, a fact Apple even tries to cover up with that guff about it being a "concentration of, not a reduction of the original." Its only real ace card is the App Store, where 275,000 apps specially designed for a tablet await iPad Mini owners.
The result is a compromised product made the Apple way – expensively – suited to a very particular segment of the market. Those flush with cash will want an new, full-size iPad with its gorgeous Retina display and sparkly new processor, while everyone who wants the best mid-size tablet for the money will buy a Nexus 7. The iPad Mini is for people who fit somewhere in-between, as well as the legions of gurning fans who'll buy each and every new Apple product regardless.
So is the iPad Mini Apple's first, true budget device, built down to a price especially for the low-cost crowd? Nope. What we have is a beautifully designed product using technology that has been surpassed by its rivals, along with a user-friendly operating system backed up by the strongest app eco-system in the mobile world, all at a considerably higher price than the perceived competition. In other words, the iPad Mini is a normal Apple product, and it'll almost certainly sell like one too.

Antec 300 Computer Case Quick Review
Antec + Arch LinuxWhat goes inside a computer case matters more than the case-- but a nice case is a pleasure to use, and it runs quieter and cooler. Here's a quick look at the excellent Antec 300.
Even with all the nice specialized network storage devices to choose from, I still like using a PC running Linux as a file and backup server. It's the most flexible option, and I usually have spare parts needing jobs, so it's also inexpensive.
Antec 300
My latest project is building a new backup server for home. We generate a lot of large files: audio, photo, and camcorder, so my chosen storage medium is a big SATA drive. Or two. Or four. Or more. I already had a motherboard with CPU and RAM, power supply, and graphics adapter so all I needed to buy was a case and some hard drives. I like Antec cases and ordered an Antec 300.
The 300 is billed as the ultimate gaming case, but it is also a superior mid-tower case for a server. It is well-built, sturdy, and roomy, and easily accomodates a full-sized ATX board and expansion cards. The side panels and front panel are easy to remove and replace. It comes with two 140mm fans, one at the rear and one on top. The PSU mounts on the bottom.
The front panel has a washable dust filter and room for two optional 120mm fans to cool your hard drives. Everything is held together with nice big thumbscrews; even the hard drives mount quickly with thumbscrews. The internal drive cage holds six 3.5" drives without rails or other fussing, just slide them in from the front and attach them with the thumbscrews. Fast and secure. There are three 5.25" external drive bays.
There are other nice touches like cable organizers, two front panel USB ports, and two front panel audio ports. The power and reset switches are distinctly different from each other, and the reset switch is recessed so you can't press it accidentally. The power and hard drive LEDs are stylin' blue.
My only gripe is the fans have big Molex power connectors instead of nice little 3-pin motherboard connectors. If I really want 3-pin connectors I suppose I can spend a couple bucks for an adapter.
I installed Arch Linux on the new server via a USB thumb drive. My master plan is to automate everything: nightly backups of all computers, automatic shutdowns when the backups are completed, and wake-on-LAN to start everything up in the morning. Stay tuned for details.

ARLINGTON, Va. — Crash tests demonstrate that occupant protection in all kinds of vehicles is improving. However, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety doesn't routinely test vehicles in every size/type category. Emphasizing vehicles for family use, the Institute usually crash tests 4-door models. To evaluate the extent to which automakers are extending crashworthiness improvements to 2-door cars, the Institute recently conducted front, side, and rear tests of 2009 coupes including the Chevrolet Cobalt, Ford Focus, Honda Civic, and Scion tC, all small models, plus the midsize Volvo C30.
"We're often asked about the crash test performance of 2-door cars," says David Zuby, Institute senior vice president for vehicle research. "Design and structural differences mean we can't automatically apply our test results of 4-door cars to 2-door versions of the same models. We decided to do these tests to see how the 2-doors stack up in protecting people in the 3 most common kinds of crashes."
The Institute rates vehicles good, acceptable, marginal, or poor based on performance in front and side crash tests. The third test measures how well vehicle seats and head restraints protect people against neck injury in low-speed rear crashes.
"Overall the results for 2-door cars are good news," Zuby says. "All but one earn good ratings in our frontal offset test. Only 2 of the 5 earn this rating for protection in side crashes, but none of the 5 earns anything less than an acceptable rating. This is pretty good, considering how demanding the side test is. It simulates being struck by a pickup or SUV."
Zuby adds that "all 5 cars in this group, from relatively inexpensive to moderately priced, have head-protecting side airbags as standard equipment. In 2003 automakers pledged to voluntarily put side airbags in their vehicles as standard equipment by the 2010 model year. They're making good on this pledge."
Earning good ratings in all 3 of the Institute's tests and equipped with optional electronic stability control, the Focus qualifies as a 2009 Top Safety Pick among small cars. Also earning this award is the midsize Volvo C30. Seven small cars and 10 midsize moderately priced models now earn the award, the Institute's top safety designation. The list of winners makes it easier for consumers to zero in on vehicles in each class that afford the best overall crash protection.
"Choosing a vehicle that provides top-notch crash protection is easier than ever," Zuby says. "With so many choices, there's no reason to buy something with less than the best crash test ratings."
Among the 5 car models the Institute recently tested, 4 earn the top rating of good in the 40 mph frontal offset test. The Scion tC is rated acceptable.
The tC's structure held up well, but overall performance wasn't as good as the other cars. Forces recorded on the driver dummy indicate that an injury to the lower right leg would be possible, and a high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head bottomed out the airbag. The tC is unique in this group for having a separate airbag in the lower instrument panel designed to minimize knee injuries in frontal crashes.
The tC doesn't have electronic stability control, which research shows can significantly reduce the risk of crashing — especially getting into a serious single-vehicle crash. This feature reduces fatal single-vehicle crash risk by 51 percent and fatal multiple-vehicle crash risk by 20 percent.
"Since the tC is especially appealing to younger drivers who are more likely to get into the kinds of situations where electronic stability control can make a difference, even a lifesaving difference, it's disappointing that this feature isn't offered, even as an option," Zuby points out.
Side impacts are the second most common type of fatal crash. More than 8,000 people were killed in side impacts in 2007. This compares with more than 14,000 deaths in frontal crashes. In the Institute's side test, the C30 and Focus are rated good. The Civic, Cobalt, and tC are rated acceptable (note: The Cobalt's rating applies to vehicles built after May 2009, when General Motors modified this car's curtain airbags).
In the Civic, forces on the driver dummy's chest and abdomen indicate that rib fractures and a fractured pelvis would be possible. The tC also was downgraded for torso protection. The Cobalt's marginal score for structural intrusion into the occupant compartment prevented this car from earning a good rating overall in the side test.
Occupant protection in rear-enders has mostly lagged behind improvements in front and side crashworthiness, but the recently tested cars are exceptions. All but the tC earn good rear crash ratings. Neck sprain or strain is the most frequently reported crash injury in U.S. insurance claims. As automakers strive to earn Top Safety Pick, they're upgrading seats and head restraints.
The Civic, Cobalt, and Focus also are sold as 4-doors, and the Institute tested them previously. Frontal tests reveal only small differences between the 2- and 4-door versions, but differences in side test performance are more pronounced. For example, the 4-door Civic earns a good rating in the Institute's side test and is a Top Safety Pick while the 2-door version is rated acceptable in the side test because of higher forces on the driver dummy's chest, abdomen, and pelvis. On the other hand, the 2-door Focus performed better than the 4-door version, earning a good rating in the side test and a Top Safety Pick designation compared with the 4-door's acceptable performance in the side test.
"These differences confirm that crash test ratings for 4-door cars can't automatically be applied to 2-door versions," Zuby explains. "Still the safety improvements we've seen for 4-door vehicles generally appear to be carrying over to 2-doors, which is good news for consumers."
The Institute's frontal crashworthiness evaluations are based on results of 40 mph frontal offset crash tests. Each vehicle's overall evaluation is based on measurements of intrusion into the occupant compartment, injury measures recorded on a Hybrid III dummy in the driver seat, and analysis of slow-motion film to assess how well the restraint system controlled dummy movement during the test.
Side evaluations are based on performance in a crash test in which the side of a vehicle is struck by a barrier moving at 31 mph. The barrier represents the front end of a pickup or SUV. Ratings reflect injury measures recorded on two instrumented SID-IIs dummies, assessment of head protection countermeasures, and the vehicle's structural performance during the impact.
Rear crash protection is rated according to a two-step procedure. Starting points for the ratings are measurements of head restraint geometry — the height of a restraint and its horizontal distance behind the back of the head of an average-size man. Seat/head restraints with good or acceptable geometry are tested dynamically using a dummy that measures forces on the neck. This test simulates a collision in which a stationary vehicle is struck in the rear at 20 mph. Seats without good or acceptable geometry are rated poor overall because they can't be positioned to protect many people.

Ronnie Radke Announces New Falling in Reverse Bassist, Trashes Former Band Escape the Fate
Falling in Reverse singer Ronnie Radke has had a busy couple of days, replacing a band member and taking a shot at his former group Escape the Fate.
In Falling in Reverse, Ronnie Ficarro has replaced booted bassist Mika Horiuchi. Radke tweeted the news of the official replacement, simply posting: "Follow @ronnieficarro our new bassist."
In other news, Radke popped off about his former band in a recent chat with the Dallas Observer. It's common knowledge that Radke split with ETF and then dropped off the musical radar when he spent over two years in prison. The split with his former bandmates was acrimonious and he admitted they no longer speak. He admitted, "I cut all ties with them. It's all bad feelings."
The singer also thinks it's ridiculous that the band is carrying on with the ETF name due to the membership revolving door, saying, "There's not really any original band members in that band anymore. All of the original members left and it's all new members. I don't know why they are still playing under that name anymore. Clearly, there is not one original member left in that band."
However, Radke still performs a handful of Escape the Fate songs while on tour and admitted that while he once told fans to stop making fun of his replacement Craig Mabbitt, he no longer dissuades them from doing so, saying, "After I did that, he said 'Thanks' and then went online and bashed me. I got tired of trying to be the nice guy."
Radke also revealed that Falling in Reverse will start recording their second album at the end of the year, using some more of the songs he penned during his two years in the slammer. He admitted that there "were some dangerous times" while he was in the can, and that he had to "defend myself a couple of times."

LENNY BRUCE: Remembering A Comic Genius
Lenny Bruce
* * * * * * * * * *
It's weird! With everything going on in the world, the day passed and I didn't even take notice. A full two weeks would go by before it finally hit me: August 3, 2006 marked the fortieth anniversary of the death of Lenny Bruce. I can just hear him now, gently chastising me in a way that only Lenny could....
Born on October 13, 1925 in what was then rural Bellmore, Long Island, there really wasn't much in Leonard Alfred Schneider's background that might have made one foresee the acid-tongued hipster who would shake the American night of the fifties and sixties as forcibly as he did with his brilliant and biting satire. He first burst upon the national consciousness in the spring of 1959 with two riotous appearances on the Steve Allen Show.
There had never been a comedian like him before: He was handsome, smart and as hip as they come; A real finger snapping, urban bon vivant; A combination sage rabbi and verbal kamikaze, Lenny Bruce was the real thing. The facets of his psychological make up, including his all-too-obvious personal vulnerabilities, were there for all the world to behold, bravely exhibited on the nightclub stage. That he was a troubled, tormented soul, there can be no doubt. Unhappiness and insecurity dogged him his entire life. Close friends would remember him as a basically sad and lonely man. But, damn! When he walked on stage he was funny, Jim. Screamingly funny!
In the placid 1950s era of Eisenhower, "I Love Lucy" and hoola-hoops, the American establishment (to no one's surprise) wasn't ready for the kind of honesty that Lenny was presenting to the public. Walter Winchell branded him, "America's Number One Vomic". In late 1958, Time Magazine would crown him "the sickest of the sick comedians". Rather than dismiss this affront outright, Lenny (in typical Lenny fashion) embraced it. The cover photo for his first album, "The Sick Humor of Lenny Bruce", portrayed him having a picnic in a cemetery. How's that for moxie? That same LP included a classic bit called, "Religions Incorporated" which depicted a fast talking, Hollywood booking agent talking on the phone to his "client", the newly ordained, Pope John XXIII:
"HELLO, JOHNNY! WHAT'S SHAKIN', BABY!!! Yeah the puff of white smoke knocked me out! I got'cha booked for the Sullivan Show on the nineteenth... Oh, did ya dig Spellman on 'Stars Of Jazz'??? OK, sweetie! Yeah, right... You cool it, too! Nah, nobody knows you're Jewish"!
While that type of humor might be considered tame by the "anything goes" standards of 2006, in 1958 it was positively revolutionary.
For three golden years he was cooking, appearing as a headliner in the top clubs across the nation. When he opened at Mister Kelly's in Chicago, crowds were lining up around the block to see him. According to his biographer, Albert Goldman, word had reached the windy city that, "this new young comic was sensational".
On February 4, 1961, he actually did a gig at Carnegie Hall! Carnegie Hall?? Even he couldn't believe it: "Maybe the people who own this place don't even know we're here"! He speculated that the entire audience had been admitted into the hall by "a good and corrupt janitor: 'Alright, just don't make no noise and clean up after you're finished, alright'? Alright".
That night, the Island of Manhattan was blanketed by one of the worst blizzards in its history. All bridges and tunnels leading into and out of the city were shut down; Every street in town was closed to traffic - and yet, somehow, Lenny was able to pack his people into a concert that didn't begin until after midnight! It was a Standing Room Only performance that the old gang at Lindy's still talk about! Fortunately the entire evening was preserved on tape and is available today on CD. "Lenny Bruce At Carnegie Hall" is the greatest performance of his all-too-brief career.
Seven months after Carnegie Hall, in the autumn of 1961, the arrests started. On September 29th Lenny was arrested in his Philadelphia hotel room for possession of drugs for which he had a prescription. Five days later, on October 4th, he was busted at the Jazz Workshop in San Francisco for obscenity. Although he was eventually acquitted on both counts, the pattern had begun. The persecution would continue for the rest of his life.
"I'm sorry if I wasn't very funny tonight. I'm not a comedian. I'm Lenny Bruce".
Because a conviction would have resulted in a nightclub owner losing his or her liquor license, offers for work eventually dwindled down to nothing. His home became subject to numerous late night raids by the LA vice squad. One officer, expecting to find him engaged in drug use, instead found him calmly listening to a record of John Phillip Sousa marches which, curiously, in addition to jazz, he had a passion for.
Then came the arrest which would destroy him. On April 4, 1964 he was busted at the Cafe Au Go-Go in New York City for giving a "lewd and indecent performance". What had bugged the NY District Attorney, Frank Hogan, was Lenny's description of Jackie Kennedy during the assassination of the late president. Life Magazine had described the former first lady hurling herself onto the trunk of the presidential limousine by saying that she was courageously trying to help the secret serviceman aboard. "Bullshit"! said Lenny Bruce, "She was trying to haul ass to save her ass"!
The ensuing trial would end in his ruin as a man and as an artist. In 1960 his yearly income had been over $350,000 per year. By October of 1965 it had fallen to under $4000. Shortly thereafter, he was found guilty of obscenity in a New York court of law and sentenced to four months in jail. In the summer of 1965 his act was filmed at the Basin Street West in San Francisco. Viewing the film today, it is disturbingly obvious that Lenny Bruce, while still hysterically funny, is a broken, dying man.
On the morning of August 3, 1966, while his New York conviction was still under appeal, he received in the mail a foreclosure notice on his house from the Bank of America. Later that evening, he was found dead in his upstairs bathroom, a hypodermic needle still embedded in his arm. For the next several hours, the Los Angeles Police, against the anguished protests of his friends and his mother, allowed photographers from newspapers and television to step up and take photos and film of his naked, bloated body lying lifeless on the cold, tile floor. He was forty years old.
On December 23, 2003, he became the first person in the history of the state of New York to be pardoned posthumously. Better late than never, I suppose. And yet I'm convinced that Lenny, who was armed to the teeth with a state-of-the-art bullshit detector, would not have failed to see the very sick irony in that.
What direction might Lenny Bruce have taken had he been able to save himself? Sadly, we'll never know. Of this we can be sure: He'd have an awful lot to say about the America of the early twenty-first century. It makes me laugh just contemplating what his take on the obscene condition of modern day Washington DC might be. Can you imagine?
Pray for peace.

US Airways Group and American Airlines , seeking approval for a merger that would create the world's largest airline, are warning lawmakers that a requirement to divest certain airport slots would lead to less service for small and medium-sized cities, sources close to the effort told Reuters.
The airlines may be required to shed slots Washington's Reagan National Airport to prevent market domination. There is concern that those slots could go to rivals, such as JetBlue Airways , which would likely use them for flights to major cities.
Continue Reading Below
That could have the trickledown effect of leaving smaller markets such as Tallahassee, Florida; Augusta, Georgia; and Charleston, West Virginia, without a daily flight to the nation's capital.
A letter signed by at least 100 members of Congress is expected to be sent to the U.S. departments of Transportation and Justice next week, requesting that the merged carrier not be required to shed slots at Reagan National, according to two people familiar with the effort. The airport is used regularly by members of Congress to fly in and out of the nation's capital.
One of the people, who asked not to be named, said Representative Mike Michaud of Maine was planning to send the letter, signed by Republican and Democratic lawmakers, to the Transportation Department.
Representatives from Michaud's Washington, D.C., office did not return phone calls requesting comment on Friday.
"What we're trying to do is encourage as many people to join in that communication to DOT (Transportation Department) and DOJ (U.S. Justice Department) as possible," said Bob Coffman, government affairs chairman of Allied Pilots Association, which represents pilots at American Airlines.
Antitrust experts have said the Justice Department, which must approve the merger, could ask for divestitures in US Airways' hubs at Reagan National and Charlotte, North Carolina, and American's hub in the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. Outside these areas, the carriers fly different routes for the most part.
Airport officials in cities such as Tallahassee, Florida; Augusta, Georgia; and Charleston, West Virginia, said on Friday that they had also written to Congress and the Department of Transportation requesting that the merged carrier be allowed to keep the current gate access it has at Reagan National.
Sunil Harman, director of aviation at Tallahassee Regional Airport in Florida, said there is currently one daily flight provided by US Airways on a 50-seat jet into Reagan National.
"Our concern is that if those slots get reduced, then US Air and American as they merge and evaluate the routes will have no option but to shift service to a larger city," Harman said.
Among other U.S. carriers, JetBlue has said publicly that the combined American-US Airways should have to shed Reagan National slots for competitive reasons. This week, Delta Air Lines told Reuters in an interview that it also saw potential opportunities to benefit should divestitures be required of the new American.
Smaller communities expressed concern that should the new American be forced to give up Reagan National slots, the access will go to carriers that won't provide flights to their airports.
"The reality is if someone like a JetBlue gets the slot, they're not going to service our airport," said Diane Johnston, director of marketing and business at Augusta (Georgia) Regional Airport. "They���re going to service New York City or one of those really large cities that already have service to Washington."

Ford, GM, Ram Adopt SAE J2807 Towing Capacity Standard for 2015 Light-Duty TrucksPosted in News on February 11, 2014
How much can your truck tow? Well, it depends on who you ask. Many consumers may not suspect that the answer to this seemingly straight-forward question has varied depending on the manufacturer, with each having its own testing methodologies and procedures. And since weight ratings have been a selling point for manufacturers, doesn't this setup seem a tad biased? Wouldn't it make more sense for some impartial organization to create the standardized testing procedures? Of course! We all know that comparing apples to oranges is no true comparison at all.
The impartial organization is the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the testing procedures they developed and which Ford, General Motors, and the Chrysler Group have agreed to finally follow for 2015 model year light duty pickup trucks is called "SAE standard J2807: Performance Requirements for Determining Tow-Vehicle Gross Combination Weight Rating and Trailer Weight Rating." A common standard for towing capacity, finally! Toyota jumped on board with J2807 back in 2011. Nissan will implement the new standards as its vehicles receive updates, meaning the next-generation Nissan Titan should observe J2807.
This SAE standard was supposed to be implemented for 2013 model year trucks, but when Ford opted to wait for its new F-150 before implementing the standards, Ram and GM did the same. After all, the new standards would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks, so an incentive for adoption of the standards would be the competitors' willingness to comply as well.
Beware that this standardization applies to fullsize light-duty pickups, and not heavy-duty pickups!

Actor James Rebhorn dead at 65; a familiar face in character roles
James Rebhorn, whose acting resume includes a long list of character roles in major films and TV shows, died Friday, his representative said Sunday. Rebhorn was 65.
While you may not know his name, Rebhorn's face may be familiar as the arrogant headmaster in Al Pacino's "Scent of a Woman" or the scheming secretary of defense in "Independence Day."
Think back to the series finale of TV's "Seinfeld" in 1998. Rebhorn played the district attorney.
More recently, he was Frank Matheson in eight episodes of "Homeland."
Rebhorn was one of those busy actors sometimes referred to as "that guy." Tall and gangly, he had a face that served him well as a villain or corrupt politician.
"He died on Friday at home with his loving family in attendance," his representative, Dianne Busch, told CNN.
Other notable film roles were in "My Cousin Vinny" in 1992 and "The Game" in 1997.
His movie career earned Rebhorn an invitation to become a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences in 2007.
Rebhorn's early screen acting career including regular roles on several soaps, including "Search for Tomorrow" and "As the World Turns," which earned him an outstanding supporting actor nomination by Soap Opera Digest in 1992, according to the Internet Movie Database.
His stage acting career included membership in New York's Ensemble Studio Theatre.

text: Hello everyone, I'm a student worker for the University of Arizona's Office of Student computing resources, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good resource for the following projects: We're looking to build (possibly) an x-grid cluster that will render scenes from Maya, movies from FinalCut, possibly Vue d'Esprit, and various Adobe programs, including after effects. I'd also like to investigate the possibility of getting a structure similar to e-on Software's Vue d'Esprit RenderCow (dedicated controller, using latent CPU and GPU cycles to render) running on our windows XP systems that would allow us to do renders in the programs listed above. What would be really cool is if there was an implementation that acted like rendercow, and could use the power of both our x86 systems and our PPC systems as a render farm. I know this isn't really a beowulf cluster question, and unfortunetly, we can't migrate our client nodes to anything other than OSX and XP, but I'm hoping someone will have some insights as to where I should look, or who I should talk to about configuring a cluster controller to do what I'm thinking about.

This weekend's 36 miler concluded Phase I of my Western States training and also marked the peak for my Lake Sonoma 50 training. I'm beginning a mild taper which pretty much means I'll be running quite a bit but cutting the long weekend runs down a bit. The week before Lake Sonoma will be filled with a lot of rest. Phase I's focus was to build a really solid running foundation that would handle high mileage as well as speed work/hill repeats, a bit of cross training and allow me to be prep'd for Lake Sonoma.
I had incredible luck with Ultra lotteries this year and got into Way Too Cool 50k, Miwok 100k and Western States (I know, I should buy a real lottery ticket!). I decided to run a fast Way Too Cool but not really taper, race Lake Sonoma, use Miwok 100k as a training run and ultimately focus 100% on Western States. I'm looking forward to Lake Sonoma. It's a TOUGH course but I am eager to give it my best shot and hopefully break 10hrs. I'm looking to run a smart race and run the last 15/20 miles hard. This race will be mostly some mental training for Western States.
Overall I'm feeling solid and looking forward to going to deeper into the belly of the Western States training beast. Oh yeah, let's talk a little about gear... I've been running mostly in Hoka One One Stinson trail shoes (i have 2 pairs that I rotate) and Altra Superior shoes. The combo has been excellent so far. I've been trying to figure out my hydration technique for WS so I've been running w 2 20oz Amphipod handheld bottles and occasionally using my Salomon S-Lab Hydration Pack. I've also been using a hydration waist pack w my 2 handhelds which seems to be an ok combo as well.
Also, if you live in the Bay Area or are visiting the SF/Marin area be sure to stop by the San Francisco Running Company. It's an awesome new running store w great/knowledgable guys running the shop and excellent gear, shoes, fuel, etc.

Cameron Construction Means No Night Football
The facelift of Cameron Stadium starts Monday. It begins with the demolition of the grandstands that were constructed in 1944.
Director of Business Services for Bangor Schools Alan Kochis has told Sportsradio 92.9TheTicket that phase one of the project calls for bleachers, a building behind the bleachers and new lights - although new lights will not be ready for 2013 fall football season. The Rams will need to play afternoon games or perhaps at Husson University.
Phase two of the project includes a turf field and two more lanes for the track that surrounds the field. It is uncertain when phase two will begin.
The first phase is a $1.5-million project. The money comes from fundraising by the Friends of Cameron Stadium group, a city approved bond and a school surplus account.
The Garland Street Field/Cameron Stadium was built back in 1944. Officials have been working for the past three years on plans to renovate the complex.
