President Obama committed a gaffe Monday when chatting on a hot mic with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev. After Obama thought the mics were off after a joint appearance in South Korean, Obama told the Russian prez, "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this can be solved, but it's important for him to give me space. This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility."
It was a gaffe in the classic definition of a gaffe: It's when you get caught telling the actual truth. (As opposed to the political version of "the truth.")
Yeah, Obama will have more flexibility IF he gets a second term. It's comes with getting a second term. And no, he can't get didley passed now in the middle of an election.
But yeah, it does sound bad for the President of the United States to sound like he's asking for a favor from Russian leaders. He ain't the president of Liechtenstein. (OK, so technically, Liechtenstein is headed by a monarch. Just go with it.)
Now, this gaffe should have been gold to Mitt Romney and God knows Team R has been in overdrive trying to make this work. (Like sending out fill-in-the-blank solicitations like, "I'LL HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY TO _______ AFTER THE ELECTION.") And they might have gotten more traction…if only the candidate would keep quiet about it.
"Russia is not a friendly character on the world stage and for this president to be looking for greater flexibility where he doesn't have to answer to the American people in his relations with Russia is very, very troubling, very alarming," Romney said. "I am very, very concerned.
"This is to Russia," Romney said. "This is without question our number one geopolitical foe."
What is this, 1962? Uh, Iran, anyone? Anyone? Bueller?….Bueller? …Buelller?
Even Medvedev spanked Mitt on doing the time warp agaaaaaaaaaain:
"I would recommend all U.S. presidential candidates … . First, when phrasing their position, one needs to use one's heato do two things, one's good reason, which would not do harm to a presidential candidate. Also, (one needs to) look at his watch: we are in 2012 and not the mid-1970s."
But one dude who will NOT fumble this gold bar is Karl Rove…the man sitting on top of the American Crossroads empire that has $26 miiiiiiiiilllion worth of SuperPAC cash burning a hole in his wallet. Here's Bush's Brain's advice:
"By telling Mr. Medvedev and his patron, the once-and-future Russian President Vladimir Putin, that he will have "flexibility" after the American election on Russian demands opposing a US missile defense for Europe, Mr. Obama is in effect saying he is ready to do something the Russians will like but that the American people won't.
"Mr. Obama has shown Russian leaders, and now the entire world, weakness.
"He's willing to bend to the demands of America's international rivals as long as his appeasement becomes public only after he's safely back in the White House for a second term. But he is apparently unwilling to share with the American people his "flexibility" with the Russians, perhaps concerned about the criticism such concessions to Moscow might draw from America's European allies."
"To make the most of Mr. Obama's statement, Republicans will need to raise it again and again in speeches, ads, videos and debates," Rove said, just like they did in 2004 when John Kerry said "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it."
And we all remember what Rove did to Kerry in that race.
Obama tried to downplay the gaffe Tuesday.

Blogs and culture
This Egyptian blogosphere is having a wild ride. Just in a few months the number of blogs have more than doubled, its growing at an exponential rate. I wish someone could summarize each blog in order to be able to pick and choose who to read. But its really great to have the number of Egyptian blogs on the rise like that. The larger the blogosphere the better reflection it is of our society, and it sure is reflecting many aspects of our society.
I for example insist that I am an ordinary Egyptian. When Eric from NPR was telling me that a number of the Egyptian bloggers are too Americanized and asked how Egyptian I am, I told him that "I am too Egyptian." I tend to be very objective and critical of myself, and then of everything surrounding me and affecting me. So it comes very natural for me to express that objective criticism on my blog. Being too Egyptian, I naturally have many of the characteristics that I criticize so harshly. People think that if you're criticising something than you're alienating yourself from it. Not me, I criticize myself to objectively see my faults and try to fix them.
Back to our beloved blogosphere. The great thing about the Egyptian blogosphere is that its being able to present our culture as a diverse and multi-dimensional one, which is usually considered a monolithic one. I tend to think that we are pretty diverse, Egyptians that is, but we don't like that, so we work very hard on aligning everyone else to our thought, which has to be the mainstream line of though of our culture. Happens everywhere in Egypt, even on the blogs. But blogs have a tendency to sustain their individuality, and thus stressing our diversity. Attempts to lure others into one line of thought still persist ofcourse.
That is the most interesting thing I find about that blogosphere, its diversity and individuality, and that is a main benefit I see that is not as easy to have on the ground. Once you delve into that blogsphere, you really can tell that its an Egyptian one. Its a reflection of our society, a reflection of real people who have the opportunity to be themselves, which is why our diversity shows in such a striking manner.
But even on the blogosphere people try to maintain a certain image of themselves. Not necessarily the same image they present in real life, probably even a different image intentionally in order to complement that missing part of their beings. I for example am usually called crazy by close ones in real life, but I seem very well composed over here presenting an image of a mature and wise being. I for example am a classic example of the Egyptian apathy in real life, but over here an image is presented of me of a wild activist who is into everything trying to change the world. Actually, I like myself in real life. I like my crazy moments, and I love being apathetic. I think apathy is a good thing. God save us from stupid activism and maintain the sanity of our people. The most non-apathetic people here are the extremists, on both ends of the spectrum.
In real life its healthy to interact with different people in the society. The blogopshere makes that much easier to do, you can sit infront of your computer and interact with the world. Interaction comes in various forms, and fighting is sure one of them. In Egypt, they'd tell you never to argue with low people in the street no matter how big the wrong they did, because calling names is their game, so you don't want to stoop to their level. Don't mix with the dirty, lest you catch the dirt, and don't hang with the sick, lest you catch the virus.
Being the crazy being that I am, I do talk to them, and its worth the experience. Isn't it useful to know how they think? Sure they can think. Doesn't matter how screwed their thinking is, but it gives you exposure to the underworld. I once went into an argument (aka fight) in the street with two of the goon delivery guys on motorcycles. And after stooping to their level to get a feel of how they think and function, I went the following day to the McDonald's branch they work at to expediate their firing. I don't think they were fired, but it was the right thing to do.

So that's it. After seven years of hype and anticipation, the London 2012 Olympic Games are over.
They have been a Games that have provided a once in a lifetime opportunity for the
to stand front and centre on a global stage. Even I, cynic that I was in the run up to the Games, have found myself caught up in the wonderful atmosphere of positivity and enthusiasm, something we Brits are not normally known for. I hope this continues beyond today and beyond the still-to-come 2012 Paralympic Games too. UK
Essential to the running of the games is an aspect of the modern Olympics that first featured back in
1948 - an Olympic volunteer programme. It is these volunteers - or Games Makers as they have been called - who have played an immeasurable role in making the Olympics the "friendly games". London
It is quite right that the largest cheers at last night's closing ceremony were reserved for the volunteers. 70,000 Games Makers will have contributed thousands of hours to making the games a success, from working in anti-doping units to marshalling crowds. They have been on the front line, engaging with visitors from around the world whilst VIPs shelter in plush corporate hospitality. One estimate I've heard is that without the volunteers it would have cost LOCOG £1.5billion to employ staff (at minimum wage) to do the work of the Games Makers.
In their distinctive uniforms, the Games Makers stood out from the crowds in a busy city. My hope is that this visibility will now permeate through the whole of our society.
Put simply, life in this country would not be the same without volunteers. No Samaritans. Not lifeboat crews or mountain rescue - people would literally die! No magistrates. No school governors. No sports clubs. No amateur dramatics and arts groups. Immeasurably weaker community life. No Red Cross, St John Ambulance and the like. No Scouts and Guides. The list goes on.
Yet we do not celebrate volunteering publicly in the way other countries do.
Until now.
We do not hold up our volunteers as everyday heroes of our society. We kind of keep quiet about it.
Until now.
The Games has given us an opportunity as a nation to put volunteering front and centre in the national consciousness, to recognise that without volunteers our society would not be the same, in fact it would be a poorer place.
The Games have been a moment to shine for the athletes.
The Games have also been a moment to shine for our country.
The Games have been a moment to shine for volunteering, a moment that will provide a legacy in transforming our nation's understanding of and attitude towards volunteering.
Doing that will require big changes in our sector's attitudes to volunteering.
We need to invest in creating great volunteering experiences that enthuse and engage people as the Games Makers have been enthused and engaged.
We absolutely need to stop talking about using volunteers. We use things, not people.
We need to rethink our attitudes to what volunteers do with us. Games Makers held a huge array of jobs, from the menial to those with massive responsibility. We can't just give our volunteers the former and save the latter for those we pay.
We need to start really valuing volunteering, not just using warm words about it when really what we want is someone to give us a cheque.
Are you up for the challenge?

Latest Cancer News
THURSDAY, Oct. 24 (HealthDay News) -- Patients with prostate cancer may be encouraged to get radiation therapy by urologists who own the equipment, new research suggests.
According to study author Jean Mitchell, a professor of economics at Georgetown University, the use of expensive radiation treatments has increased substantially in practices that own the equipment.
"Since about 2005, a number of urologists have decided to invest in expensive radiation treatment [equipment]," Mitchell said.
Between 2005 and 2010, the number of men with prostate cancer who received radiation therapy from doctors who owned their own equipment increased significantly more than it did among patients whose doctors did not own their own equipment, Mitchell said.
This radiation therapy, called intensity-modulated radiation therapy, is one of the definitive treatments for prostate cancer. The others are surgery to remove the prostate and implanted radiation treatment. Many men also opt for no treatment -- sometimes called watchful waiting.
"The bottom line is that the increase in the rate of radiation therapy by self-referring urologists is almost entirely due to the financial incentives that are linked to ownership," Mitchell stated.
Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, said urologists make only about $1,100 for surgery to remove the prostate, and watchful waiting involves only the limited cost of office visits and imaging.
Radiation treatment, however, can cost between $31,000 and $40,000, depending on where in the country patients are treated, Mitchell said.
"This is really showing that financial incentives really influence physician behavior," she said. "Patients have to wonder, 'Am I getting the treatment because it's really the best, or am I getting the treatment because my urologist is making money off of it?'" Mitchell said.
The report, funded by the American Society for Radiation Oncology, was published in the Oct. 24 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
The radiation equipment costs about $3.7 million, Lichtenfeld said. "If, however, the practice can get the equipment for less and if they can run it more than the Medicare-anticipated use, they can end up making a substantial amount of money. It clearly drives urology practices to invest in this machinery, and get radiation oncologists on board," he noted.
"The real question is whether the treatment was appropriate or not," Lichtenfeld said.
One expert agreed, and cautioned patients to ask whether radiation is the best option.
"You have to wonder if surgeons, who normally operate on prostate cancer, referring patients to radiation oncologists within their own practice is self-serving," said Dr. Anthony D'Amico, chief of radiation oncology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
D'Amico advises patients to ask if the medical evidence for their case supports radiation or surgery.
"The correct answer is either yes or no. If there is a choice, the patient should be told that the medical evidence is inconclusive. That's what they need to hear, because that's the truth. Most of the time, there is a choice," he said. "If they say the medical evidence in your case says it should be radiation, then the patient has to wonder whether or not [they're] getting it straight."
Moreover, D'Amico said patients should get a second opinion.
One critic of the study, Dr. Deepak Kapoor, president of the Large Urology Group Practice Association, said the study represents a political agenda and that doctors aren't pushing radiation therapy when they own the equipment.
He said the study misrepresents the actual data, and there is no real increase in the use of radiation therapy in practices that own their own equipment. In his view, the study is an attempt to persuade lawmakers to make radiation therapy for prostate cancer the sole province of radiation oncologists, which is why the association representing radiation oncologists funded the study.
But study author Mitchell painted a different picture.
"The urologists have tried to paint this as a turf battle, but in my view this is not their scope of practice," Mitchell said. "I know some urologists who are making $1 million a year, and $700,000 of it comes from their ancillary services -- radiation, pathology and imaging. Only $300,000 comes from what they were trained to do. And people wonder why health care is so expensive. This is one of the reasons. Everybody responds to financial incentives. Why should physicians be different? They're not."
But Kapoor said other studies show rates of radiation therapy have not gone up in practices that own radiation equipment.
"Mitchell's own data shows that urology groups continued to manage patients' treatment conservatively and appropriately after they integrated radiation into their practices," Kapoor said.
"The percentage of patients choosing surgery also remained virtually unchanged," he said. And the percentage of patients placed on active surveillance, or watchful waiting, remained virtually the same before and after integration of radiation therapy, he said.
SLIDESHOWSee Slideshow
"The fact that active surveillance rates held constant shows that ownership of integrated intensity-modulated radiation therapy did not affect these groups' clinical decision-making," Kapoor said.
Mitchell dismissed the criticism as unfounded.
"If they didn't scream and yell, I would be surprised," she said.
"My study has met the test of scientific scrutiny," Mitchell added. "I did the analysis three times, and came up with the same results. My findings corroborate the findings of the U.S. Government Accountability Office. So here are two studies that are showing the exact same pattern," she pointed out.
"I'd consider the source of the criticism," Mitchell said. "These are all people who have a vested interest in making sure they are able to continue this practice. I don't have a vested interest in this at all, and the same can be said for the U.S. Government Accountability Office."
For the study, Mitchell used Medicare records to compare the use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy in urology practices before and after buying the equipment.
She found that after buying the equipment, the rate of patients who got radiation therapy rose from 13.1 percent to 32.3 percent.
Over the same period, the use of radiation therapy among urologists who didn't own the equipment increased only from 14.3 percent to 15.6 percent, Mitchell said.
In addition, the use of radiation therapy at National Comprehensive Cancer Network centers remained at 8 percent, while it increased 33 percent among urologist groups that owned the radiation equipment, Mitchell said.

$50,000 grant
Final interview nets big reward
October 16, 2013
By Mike Killeen
Imagine this: You're getting ready for an interview to determine if you might win an award that carries a $50,000 grant, and you're preparing to speak with the president and co-founder of the sponsoring organization for the final time.
Intimidating, right? Now, imagine at the very last minute that you are told that the interview is to be conducted by Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
That's the scenario Danielle Liebl faced. But the College of Saint Benedict senior aced her interview, and was one of 10 winners of the inaugural Peace First Prize.
The Peace First Prize is a national award recognizing leading youth peacemakers who are focused on creating peaceful schools and communities. The winners, who were announced Sunday, Oct. 6, in New York City, each receive a two-year, $50,000 fellowship to further their peacemaking work.
"The whole process from when I was nominated to when I was notified that I was a winner was a six-month process," said Liebl, who was one of 700 people initially nominated for the award.
That included five interview sessions, most with Eric Dawson, president and co-founder of Peace First.
"When the last interview was approaching, I just assumed it would be with Eric again. It wasn't until two days before the interview that they sent me Chelsea Clinton's biography, and told me she would be doing my final interview," said Liebl, a peace studies and theology double-major who plans to graduate in December.
"It was very nerve-racking being interviewed by someone who has seen their share of accomplishments. During the interview, she was very pleasant to talk with, but you could tell that she wanted to get right down to business," Liebl said. "During the interview she gave me great feedback and you could tell she was genuinely interested.
"It was a once in a lifetime experience, and I am very grateful I got the opportunity."
The grant will help the expansion of the student club, Students for the Advancement of People with DIFFERbilities, which Liebl founded and created as a sophomore at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University. Approximately 60 students currently are in the club.
"The purpose of Students for the Advancement of People with DIFFERbilities is to raise awareness for people with disabilities, promote the social inclusion of people with disabilities and to educate students and faculty on the CSB and SJU campuses about better ways to treat, interact and build relationships with people with disabilities," said Liebl, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as an infant. The club offers CSB and SJU students opportunities to play, work and interact with people with disabilities, she added.
The Peace First Prize will ultimately allow Students for the Advancement of People with DIFFERbilities to be implemented across Minnesota.
"It will allow me to use the current model of Students for the Advancement of People with DIFFERbilities that is used at CSB and SJU to be implemented in other colleges around the state," Liebl said. "It will also allow Students for the Advancement of People with DIFFERbilities to be started at the high school level by developing and beginning unified service-learning opportunities for students with and without disabilities."
The award is still surprising to the native of Richmond, Minn., who graduated from Rocori High School in 2010.
"To say I was surprised is an understatement. I am very humbled and honored to be recognized among these nine other amazing and inspiring individuals. I am still in a shock of disbelief," Liebl said.

The Portland Design Works (PDW) Radbot 1000 is a powerful rear LED with some eye catching flash options.
This light has been popular in the US for a while now, so it seemed like a good idea to try one out. Out of the box it's a neat design, good-looking and compact. It proved simple to fit and was easy to unclip from its mount to swap between bikes. It also fitted nicely on to the webbing loop of a Carradice saddlebag without moving around too much, helped by a nice tight clip with a security step.
The switch is in the centre of the light and needs to be held down for a couple of seconds to switch it on. This reduces the chance of it coming on accidentally when it's rattling round the bottom of a pannier. The switch was easy to locate and operate, even with winter gloves on.
Once on, is it bright? You bet it is. The LED sits in a deep dish, very similar to our all-time favourite rear light, the Smart 1/2W Superflash. The Radbot has a 1W LED and it's a pretty fierce piece of kit, although not in the same league as the new generation of rechargeable rear lights.
You get three funkily monikered modes starting with the zZzpop, which is three quick flashes followed by a slower pulse. It's very eyecatching and this is the setting we used the most. Then there's cornea blitz – a strobe-like flickering which is horrible. Finally, there's rock steady which, as the name suggest, is constant. It's visible from a loooong way back and casts out a halo of light that encourages drivers to pass wide. The casing is translucent so you also get some useful side visibility, and although the reflector doesn't do a lot when the light is on, it's nice to have a back up.
Although it encourages drivers not to get too up-close and personal, if you're riding in company you want to keep, do your wheel-sucking friends a favour and switch the light to rock steady. Riding behind either flashing mode was not my idea of fun. Cornea blitz really does do what it says on the tin and zZzpop is weirdly hypnotic.
Over a winter of commuting and longer rides this light flashed away in the face of lashing rain, sleet and hail, and didn't bat a red eyelid in over 10 minutes of being tested with a hose spray. On taking it apart for the first time I noticed some very fine sandy grit had winkled in between the light body and casing, though this hasn't had any affect on its water-resistant qualities.
The only minor drawback I found was that you need to unscrew the back with a cross-head screwdriver when the batteries need changing. Most multi tools have a screwdriver and the screw itself is captive so you don't have to worry about dropping it straight down a drain, but it's still a bit of a faff when you've got cold fingers. Luckily, you shouldn't need to take it apart very often as battery life is good, with the original batteries lasting over a month of commuting and day rides when using all three light modes.
Powerful, tough, and easy to use rear light with some eye catching flashing patterns.

road.cc test report
Make and model: PDW Radbot 1000
Size tested: n/a
Tell us what the light is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Portland Design Works say: "The Radbot 1000 has one directive: to defend you and your bike from rear collisions. It comes equipped with a precision reflector that conforms to strict EU standards and its blazing red eye contains a 1.0 watt Japanese LED to stare down vehicles. This is the same powerful LED used in the brake lights of new cars!
Also, the Radbot 1000 makes a mean cup of coffee. Actually that last part isn't true."
This all sounds about right - though even if the last part were true, I'd be more impressed if it could make a nice cup of tea.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the light?
Uses 1.0 watt red LED made by Nichia brand.
Has 3 modes: zZz pop, cornea blitz and rock steady modes (30 hours runtime flashing/15 steady.
Incorporates Euro reflector.
Fits rack, seatpost and seatstay, has backpack clip.
Takes 2xAAA batteries (included).
Dimensions: 36 x 40 x 82mm.
Nice quality. It's well made and fairly sturdy.
Simple to attach to the bike, easy to use and switch between modes.
It's a standard, easy-to-fit clamp and the clip has a step, which makes it more secure on light loops.
Kept going through sleet, hail, heavy rain and the garden hose test.
It has survived the usual amount of being dropped, taken apart, swapped between bikes and lugged around in bags without complaint.
Tell us how the light performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Very well.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the light
Its brightness, and the switch is very easy to use.

Building wheels is undeniably my bread and butter but a few times a year I build bikes from the ground up. It starts with an email (or, in this very rare case, a phone call) and many conversations are had before the first components are ordered.
I don't cater to the instant gratification crowd, mostly because the frames I build are always in high demand (read: it sometimes takes weeks or months to get them) but also because my time is in high demand. Someone wanting a bike right now is gonna be pretty frustrated when it takes me a day-and-a-half just to research the details to answer their questions.
But for those willing to wait the process is worthwhile--for all involved.
In this instance the customer is a 5'5" woman that weighs ~135# all geared up. She's been riding most of her adult life but has been away from MTB's for many moons. A demo day in Moab gave her a pretty clear picture of what she wanted and didn't want, and with a little education and a little time I was able to get crystal clear clarification on every last detail.
This part of the process can be time consuming, but walking someone through every component choice (and often walking them through how each component relates to and affects the others) is also rewarding, especially when they're paying attention and really care about the end result. They ought to care--it's their bike!
A size small 3" travel LenzSport Leviathan was decided on. One phone call to Devin Lenz and 3 days later the frame was here. It hung in the rafters for a few days while I cleared my wheel order backlog and built the wheels for it.
I start by weighing the frame, mostly because many, many customers ask what the nekkid chassis comes in at: 4.73# for this one. I've owned *many* heavier hardtails!
Clean and lube the seat tube then install the seatpost so I can hang it in the stand.
As the components arrive I keep them separated in a box so that (at a glance) I can verify that I have what I need without getting confused by general inventory on a shelf.
The only other item I weighed on this build was the rear shock. Amazing where bike technology has gone the past few years: A carbon fiber rear damper with external rebound and lockout adjustment, all at 138g. Why would you ride a hardtail anymore???!
Devin chases and faces the frames before shipping 'em, so all I need to do at the BB is run a thick rag through the threads to remove any metal chips or blasting media. All clean here.
You can use a fancy-schmancy high dollar grease if you want, but I don't really see the point. I use the same stuff on my bikes and my customer's bikes: boat trailer grease from the local hardware. All it's gotta do is keep the BB from seizing in the frame and it does that as well as anything available.
BB cups threaded 100% of the way in by hand, then I torqued 'em with the wrench. Smoove.
Slip the drive-side crank through, attach the non-drive to it, then spin the wrench a few times to snug it before torquing. Very slick setup.
While you're down there (and you have the boat trailer grease handy) might as well spin the pedals on and torque 'em.
I use the same thick rag to remove any dust or grit from the inside of the head tube.
Lube the head tube then push the cups in nice and smooth.
There's so much dust flying when I cut the steerer that I kept the camera put away. Not knowing exactly where the bar height will end up on this build I left ~20mm of extra steerer to work with. In the unlikely event that they're needed I also have 6 different stems (in 5mm increments and 7 or 17* rise) so that the reach can be 100% dialed before she takes her new baby home. Here I'm torquing the stem pinch bolts to 5.2 NM.
Same torque spec is called out for the bar pinch bolts. The torque wrench is so easy to use and parts are getting so light that I see no good reason *not* to use it.
Top secret grip glue.
Running in the rotor bolts.
The wheels were built two days prior and that process is the subject of an entire post. Someday...
Installing the tubeless tires and inflating them is easy cheesy, although I did it start-to-finish without grabbing the camera. Guess I'll have to dedicate a post to that too...
Installing the cassette.
Just a matter of spinning a 4 or 5mm wrench a few times to get the shifters, levers, saddle, and derailleurs installed. Slip the wheels in and tighten the QR's--it's starting to look like a bike.
Bolting on the brake calipers.
Running the rear brake housing through under-the-downtube p-clamps. There are cable stops on the top tube that the brake line can run through, but I prefer this method as it's cleaner, quieter, and better sealed.
'Round about this time of day the temp in the shop hits ~102. Union rules require me to two fist 'em at 100+.
Phew--close one! None of that icky stuff in here.
Install the chain with a quick-link. Doesn't get any easier.
I lube the chain immediately so that the lube can soak in while I'm running the cables and tidying up. Best to have a lube-soaked chain when adjusting the shifting.
Once slack is removed it's time to cut the cables.
Limit screws are set, cables are stretched and retightened, then cable tension is fine tuned.
End result?
It's a bike!
I call the component assortment on this build 'sensi-bling'. It is a high-dollar build but nowhere near no-expenses spared. Take the shifters and derailleurs for example--SRAM X.9 is top-notch, solid, dependable stuff that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. You could spend a heap more on X.0 but would you notice the negligible weight loss or any increase in performance? I can't tell a difference from X.9 to X.0 on the scale or on the trail, so I simply don't see the point in spending the extra $$$.
Likewise with the brake levers--Avid makes a lever set that is three times as expensive as this one. Know what else? That ultra-bling lever set is heavier than the levers pictured here.
Bontrager makes far, far more expensive stems, but they don't make any lighter than this one.
There are places on the bike where spending a little extra dough *does* indeed get you noticeable weight loss or performance gains. I'm a big fan of DT Swiss componentry. The shocks are light and durable, with a failsafe mode so that in the highly unlikely event of air loss you can flip the lockout lever and get yourself back home without compromised geometry.
After a few laps around the back yard to fine tune a bit, I tooled up and down the street and fine tuned it some more. At this point the heat of the day had started to slide back south of 100 degrees so it was time for me to trade the work boots for cycling shoes and head out on a ride.
Last step in the initial build process--recycle all the manuals, boxes, and packing material. My shop is waaaaaaay too small for clutter--everything has to be in its place or it ain't possible to move around.
Before the customer comes to pick this bike up next week I'll have ridden it a total of about 10 miles, mostly on an urban loop that I've found works really well at burning in the brakes and dialing in the suspension and shifting. When she walks through the shop door the bike might possibly have a few specks of dust on it but it will most assuredly be 100% debugged and trail ready, and I think just about anyone can appreciate that.
So that's how it works. Who's next?!

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Lansana Fofana – a courageous and dedicated journalist from Sierra Leone, who spent his life in pursuit of the under-reported story – working for IPS, BBC, and SABC, among others.
A graduate with a Bachelor's Degree from Fourah Bay College, Fofana wrote dozens of stories for the IPS wire dating back over a decade. He covered war, military coups, FGM, child soldiers, the post-war tribunal, and of course the battle to contain Ebola.

It makes sense that Browns coach Rob Chudzinksi, a former tight end, is stocking up at the position in Cleveland.
Free-agent Kellen Davis will sign a one-year, $2 million contract with the Browns, a source with knowledge of the deal told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport on Friday.
It's far from a high-octane addition.
Davis was released by the Chicago Bears this month after a frustrating, 19-catch campaign marred by too many ugly drops. He figures to fulfill more of a blocking tight end role alongside the recently signed Gary Barnidge.
After Ben Watson signed with the New Orleans Saints, the Browns' only pass-catcher at the position with any promise is third-year pro Jordan Cameron. Chudzinksi's offense relies on dynamic tight end play, so who's going to catch the ball in Cleveland?
The current group doesn't offer much hope.

This section outlines the common terms you will encounter as you work with WebDAV.
URI. A URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is a file identifier that provides an additional layer of security by using an abbreviated URL. The first part of the URL is substituted with a URL mapping that hides the file's full physical pathname from the user.
Source URI. The term, source URI, refers to the URI at which a resource's source can be accessed. To understand the concept of source URI, consider the following example:
A JSP page, foo.jsp, is located at the URI /docs/date.jsp. This page contains HTML markup and Java code which, when executed, prints today's date on the client's browser. When the server receives a GET request for foo.jsp from a client, before serving the page it executes the Java code. What the client receives is not foo.jsp which resides on the server, but a dynamically generated page that displays the current date.
If you were to create a source URI, for example, /publish/docs, and map it to the /docs directory containing foo.jsp, then a request for /publish/docs/foo.jsp will be a request for the source code of the /docs/foo.jsp JSP page. In this case, the server will serve the page without executing the Java code. The client will receive the unprocessed page exactly as stored on disk.
A request for the source URI is thus a request for the source of the resource.
Collection. A WebDAV collection is a resource or a set of resources that are enabled for WebDAV operations. A collection contains a set of URIs, termed member URIs, which identify member resources that are WebDAV-enabled.
Member URI. A URI which is a member of the set of URIs inside a collection.
Internal Member URI. A Member URI that is immediately relative to the URI of the collection. For example, if the resource with the URL http://info.sun.com/resources/info is WebDAV-enabled and if the resource with the URL http://info.sun.com/resources/ is also WebDAV-enabled, then the resource with the URL http://info.sun.com/resources/ is a collection and contains http://info.sun.com/resources/info as an internal member.
Property. A name/value pair that contains descriptive information about a resource. Properties are used for efficient discovery and management of resources. For example, a 'creationdate' property might allow for the indexing of all resources by the date on which the resources were created, and an 'author' property, for indexing by author name.
Live Property. A property that is enforced by the server. For example, the live getcontentlength property has as its value, the length of the entity returned by a GET request, which is automatically calculated by the server. Live properties include the following:
The value of a property is read-only, maintained by the server
The value of the property is maintained by the client, but the server performs syntax checking on submitted values.
Dead Property. A property that is not enforced by the server. The server only records the value of a dead property; the client is responsible for maintaining its consistency.
The server supports the following live properties:
The server supports the live property executable that enables clients to change the file permissions associated with a resource.
An example of a PROPPATCH request for the executable live property:
PROPPATCH /test/index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: sun
Content-type: text/xml
Content-length: XXXX
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<A:propertyupdate xmlns:A="DAV:" xmlns:B="http://apache.org/dav/props/">
Locking. The ability to lock a resource provides a mechanism to guarantee that one user will not modify a resource while it is being edited by another. Locking prevents overwrite conflicts and resolves the "lost updates" problem.
The server supports two types of locking: shared and exclusive.
New HTTP Headers. WebDAV works by extending the HTTP/1.1 protocol. It defines new HTTP headers by which clients can communicate requests for WebDAV resources. These headers are:
New HTTP Methods. WebDAV introduces several new HTTP methods that instruct WebDAV-enabled servers how to handle requests. These methods are used in addition to existing HTTP methods such as GET, PUT, and DELETE to carry out WebDAV transactions. The new HTTP methods are briefly described below:
COPY. Used to copy resources. Copying collections uses the Depth: header while the Destination: header specifies the target. The COPY method also uses the Overwrite: header, as appropriate.
MOVE. Used to move resources. Moving collections uses the Depth: header while the Destination: header specifies the target. The MOVE method also uses the Overwrite: header, as appropriate.
MKCOL. Used to create a new collection. This method is used to avoid overloading the PUT method.
PROPPATCH. Used to set, change, or delete properties on a single resource.
PROPFIND. Used to fetch one or more properties belonging to one or more resources. When a client submits a PROPFIND request on a collection to the server, the request may include a Depth: header with a value of 0, 1, or infinity.
0. Specifies that the properties of the collection at the specified URI will be fetched.
1. Specifies that the properties of the collection and resources immediately under the specified URI will be fetched.
infinity. Specifies that the properties of the collection and all member URIs it contains will be fetched. Be aware that because a request with infinite depth will crawl the entire collection, it can impose a large burden on the server.
UNLOCK. Removes locks from resources. Uses the Lock-Token: header.

"Scream 4″ star Emma Roberts fears she will never have a house she can truly call home after a decorator wrecked her dream pad in Los Angeles.
The young actress moved in to her first home a few years ago, but she admits the place is still a shambles due to ongoing problems with the interior design.
The 22-year- old tells Nylon magazine, "People come over and go, 'Oh! Did you just move in?' My stuff is a mess.
"I had someone decorate my house and it went very wrong, to say the least. Now, it's kind of half of what they did and half of me trying to fix it.
"(There's) clothes everywhere. I am not neat. My closet looks like a sorority house in disarray."

The wait is over and hell has frozen over, I'm now officially launching MKW's Fatality Theater for Mortal Kombat Deception!
This section includes every Fatality (48 in total) and every Hara-Kiri (25 in total), plus 14 Death Traps Videos from the game, which makes 78 videos in total!
Each video is in WMV format, resolution of 640—480 pixels with a high quality and with a size no bigger than 2 MBs!
Check out each character's finishers by clicking in its image:
I don't have to give any credit or thank anyone because I ripped all these videos myself! However, I should apologize for not having the section earlier, but you all now I'm kinda lazy. :P
The launch of this Fatality Theater not only means a victory over procastination, but it also means that MKW now holds videos for almost every Mortal Kombat finisher! Only UMK3, MK3 Smoke, MK:D Shao Kahn and Goro remain, and they should be up really soon.
Let me know by commenting in this update if you find any errors or some file missing.

I was going to submit my fatalities, it's just that I completely had to do a lot of editing. And Jegsta_man, I just used a VHS tape.
Do you video record these from your TV?
yeah, Kung Lao,I think he uses a TV card or something like that. The same thing ]{ombat uses for his KOTK movies.
Well thanks for the help on recording, looking forward to seeing Rains fatalities when the UMK3 or trilogy theater comes out, i've never seen them.

In an indictment rendered by a Grand Jury in the Western District of Missouri on September 9, 2010, five Missouri men allegedly participated in torturing a mentally disabled woman online or in person over a multi-year period when the victim was between the ages of 16 and 24. Among the charges are: Sex Trafficking by Force, Fraud or Coercion, Forced Labor Trafficking, Transportation for Sexual Activity, and Conspiracy. The allegations involve sex with a minor, drug and firearms possession, forced prostitution, sexual abuse, and torture to the point that the victim suffered a heart attack.
These activities should not be confused with consensual BDSM. People who engage in BDSM and other similar activities do so as consenting adults and in a safe, sane, and consensual manner. BDSM activities are not violent specifically because all participants can stop any time they wish. Millions of people engage in BDSM: according to the Kinsey Institute's New Report on Sex, between 5-10% of the adult population engages in BDSM on at least an occasional basis.
NCSF strongly condemns criminals who commit violence and engage in non-consensual activities. We encourage the media to remember that the large community of consenting adults who engage in BDSM activities should not be conflated with these alleged crimes. Ordinary people do BDSM – parents, co-workers, friends, and neighbors. But because of the stigma against BDSM, most people are closeted and don't speak out about their interests because they fear condemnation and discrimination.
To read the Federal Indictment:
The NCSF is committed to creating a political, legal and social environment in the US that advances equal rights for consenting adults who engage in alternative sexual and relationship expressions. The NCSF aims to advance the rights of, and advocate for consenting adults in the BDSM-Leather-Fetish, Swing, and Polyamory Communities. We pursue our vision through direct services, education, advocacy, and outreach, in conjunction with our partners, to directly benefit these communities.

Since Phil the groundhog saw his shadow this year on Groundhog Day, I am pulling out a favorite dish to celebrate this extra-long winter. Found on Pinch of Yum is a recipe with a twist on the traditional broccoli and chicken casserole, with extra protein from bacon and quinoa!
Author: Pinch of Yum
Serves: 6
- 2 cups reduced sodium organic chicken broth
- 1 cup organic milk
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ½ cup flour
- 2 cups water, divided
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
- ¼ cup cooked, crumbled bacon
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons seasoning (like Emeril's Essence)
- ¼ cup shredded Gruyere cheese (any kind will work)
- 3 cups fresh organic broccoli florets
1.Sauce: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and generously grease a 9×13 baking dish (seriously, be generous because it really really sticks to the sides). Bring the chicken broth and ½ cup milk to a low boil in a saucepan. Whisk the other ½ cup milk with the poultry seasoning and flour; add the mixture to the boiling liquid and whisk until a smooth creamy sauce forms.
2.Assembly: In a large bowl, mix the sauce from step one, one cup water, quinoa, and bacon and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and lay the chicken breast strips over the top of the quinoa mixture. Sprinkle with the seasoning. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
3.Broccoli: While the casserole is in the oven, place the broccoli in boiling water for 1 minute until it turns bright green and then run under cold water. Set aside.
4.Bake: Remove the casserole from the oven, check the mixture by stirring it around in the pan, and if needed, cover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. When the quinoa and chicken are cooked, add the broccoli and a little bit of water (up to one cup) until the consistency is creamy and smooth and you can stir it up easily in the pan. Top with the cheese and bake, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or just long enough to melt the cheese.
You will know the quinoa is done when it is soft and looks as if it has popped open, with the germ of the kernel visible as a little spiral. If you want the chicken to get that browned exterior, leave the foil off for part of the cooking time, but be aware that the quinoa does take a lot longer to cook without the foil.
For the full recipe and many other delicious recipes check out Pinch of Yums website here.

All your life, you've probably been hearing people tell you to "follow your passion." This is how you'll discover your purpose, feel worthy and find happiness balancing work and life.
But what if you can't jump start a career with those life-long dreams and your passions never lead to a steady paycheck?
In his blog, Mark Cuban says that following your passion is "easily the worst advice you could ever give or get":
"Why? Because everyone is passionate about something. Usually more than one thing. We are born with it. There are always going to be things we love to do. That we dream about doing. That we really, really want to do with our lives. Those passions aren't worth a nickel.
Think about all the things you have been passionate about in your life. Think about all those passions that you considered making a career out of or building a company around. How many were or are there? Why did you bounce from one to another? Why were you not able to make a career or business out of any of those passions? Or if you have been able to have some success, what was the key to the success?"
Instead of mere passion, Cuban says to focus on what you spend the most of your time and effort doing. When it comes to a successful career, your time is what's going to set you apart from anyone else in the business.
Oliver Segovia at HBR posed a similar stance to Cuban, arguing that to find happiness in your career, it's time you forget about your passion. Segovi writes:
"Today's twenty-somethings were raised to find our dreams and follow them. But it's a different world. And as the jobless generation grows up, we realize the grand betrayal of the false idols of passion. This philosophy no longer works for us, or at most, feels incomplete. So what do we do? I propose a different frame of reference: Forget about finding your passion. Instead, focus on finding big problems.
When you figure out how to solve the big problems — climate change, sustainability, poverty, education, health care, technology, and urbanization in emerging markets — people will want to employ you and that's when you'll truly be professionally happy.
Watch Mark Cuban's advice on investing:

Santana will earn $25.5 million in 2013. He has a $25 million club option in 2014, with the team holding a $5.5 buyout.
That's no surprise. Santana hasn't pitched a full season since 2010, and he is owed a huge amount of money over the next year. The Mets will pay Santana $31 million in 2013 - it's highly unlikely they pick up his 2014 option. But that doesn't mean the Mets won't try to sign Santana next winter. A lot will depend on where they are with their rotation and what Santana wants to do at the conclusion of this contract.

Over the weekend, these Phillies fans celebrated a win by doing keg stands on the subway. What's impressive about this is the fact that somewhere between attending a Phillies game and getting back to their home (or maybe dorm rooms), these guys procured an entire keg and then somehow managed to elude any conflict with the authorities when they started doing keg stands on the train.
But allow me to editorialize a bit: these guys are bad at keg stands! You'd think Phillies fans would have this down by now. False. The first guy only goes for nine seconds. I understand that five bros on the El doesn't make for prime keg stand conditions, but I expected more from the notoriously drunk Phillies fans.
And if this is what they bring after winning three games at the start of the season, just imagine what will come if the Phillies make the World Series. Beer pong in Independence Hall? Hot-boxing the Liberty Bell? The gauntlet has been thrown.
