Today: As Google (GOOG) negotiates with FTC, European lawmakers and Microsoft lob attacks at search giant. Also: Stocks gain from "fiscal cliff" talks, Workday's first public earnings report stokes optimism.
Google faces challenges from U.S., Europe and Microsoft, but keeps moving
Google continued to play the whipping boy for regulators worldwide and competitors Wednesday, but the Mountain View search giant went about its business anyway, making an acquisition that didn't turn out to be a hoax.
Government officials on both sides of the Atlantic have targeted Google for months, and those situations seem to be coming to a head. CEO Larry Page was reportedly in Washington, D.C., this week to talk to regulators at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, which has been studying a possible antitrust suit against the company for abusing its power as the dominant leader in Internet search.
Bloomberg News reported that Page has refused to make a consent decree — an agreement that would stop legal action but bind Google to halt actions that the FTC deems inappropriate — while the FTC previously said such a move was mandatory in any agreement, according to anonymous sources. The current discussions focus on other antitrust issues besides search, however, Bloomberg reported.
On the other side of the Atlantic, Google continued to face pressure from governments across Europe. After facing a grilling in Great Britain earlier this month on the taxes it pays across the pond, Google now faces a second inquiry into the taxes it pays in Italy. The Italian tax collectors dislike that Google funnels its profits through its Irish headquarters for Europe, while Great Britain is unhappy that the company moves profits through Bermuda to avoid taxes there, sleight of hand that Google says is perfectly legal according to the tax laws.
In Germany, Google faces a vote in the country's legislature that would force search engines to pay fees to link to news content, which other European countries are also considering. Google launched a campaign against the legislation Tuesday, with the slogan "Defend your Web," which led to loud anger from German politicians Wednesday.
"The campaign initiated by Google is cheap propaganda," lawmakers Guenter Krings and Ansgar Heveling said Wednesday.
The German debate follows a court ruling in Australia earlier this week that defined Google as a publisher even when it is pointing Web searchers to content that others have published, a decision that led to a finding of libel and could be troublesome for the Internet giant in the future.
Government aren't the only entities attacking Google at the moment, however: Microsoft rolled out a large campaign aimed at its search competitor Wednesday, attempting to convince consumers that Google Shopping is not giving them the best options. The Microsoft ad blitz, which attempts to push shoppers to its Bing search engine, publicizes the fact that Google only highlights retailers who pay for the privilege of showing up in the results.
"We want consumers to know, in contrast to the route that Google has pursued, we are staying true to the DNA of what a good search engine is really about," Mike Nichols, Bing's chief marketing officer, told The Associated Press. "We will rank results on what's relevant to you and not based on how much someone might pay us."
Google isn't slowing down in the face of opposition from all sides, however, and Wall Street still seems to like the company. The serial acquirer announced the purchase of marketing startup Incentive Targeting, which assists companies with targeted Internet campaigns focused on coupons that are easily quantifiable.
"We look forward to working with Incentive Targeting in our ongoing efforts to help consumers save time and money and enable retailers deliver relevant discounts to the right customers," a Google spokeswoman said in an email.
The deal, for an undisclosed price as the five-year-old Massachusetts startup is still private, comes just two days after Google's name was used in a hoax acquisition that prompted inaccurate reports from several tech blogs and AP.
Google's stock continued to climb Wednesday, gaining 1.9 percent to close at $683.67. With just a month left in 2012, Google shares have increased 5.9 percent this year despite the issues it faces across the globe.
Wall Street turns around after ground given in 'fiscal cliff' debate
Google wasn't the only company to see its stock price jump on Wednesday, as early weakness on Wall Street turned around starkly as hopes for a resolution of the "fiscal cliff" gained.
After indexes fell about 1 percent early in Wednesday's session, they swung the other way after House Republicans seemed to relax their position on a resolution to the combination of tax hikes and spending cuts scheduled to take effect at the end of the year.
President Barack Obama and the GOP have been at odds on raising taxes on high earners, which Obama demands in a deal and Republicans want to avoid. But conservatives seemed to give a bit Wednesday, with Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., saying, "If we don't believe taxes should go up on anybody, why can't we accept a deal that takes 98 percent out and still leaves us free to fight on the other grounds?"
By the end of the session, all three major U.S. stock indexes had recorded a 0.8 percent daily gain as investors hoped the conciliatory talk led to a compromise.
"The markets want to believe that a deal will be struck. How lasting this deal would be — could it be a six-month or a 12-month deal — we don't know, but the markets are starting to lean in the direction of some sort of an agreement," Myles Zyblock, chief institutional strategist for RBC Capital Markets, told The Wall Street Journal.
Tech stocks move up as Workday's first public earnings report a success
Tech stocks rose along with the broader market Wednesday, with the SV150 index of Silicon Valley's largest tech companies gaining 0.7 percent.
Pleasanton-based Workday, the cloud software company that exercised the biggest initial public offering since Facebook last month, easily exceeded expectations in its first earnings report as a public company, helping its shares grow.
The company posted revenues of $72.6 million in its fiscal third quarter, easily beating expectations, and predicted fourth-quarter revenues that also beat Wall Street's forecasts. The company's stock, which sold for $28 a share at IPO time, increased 2.6 percent to $53.19 in regular trading, then shot up another 4 percent in late trading following the report's release. Competitors Oracle (ORCL) (up 1.9 percent) and Salesforce (up 1 percent) also gained.
TiVo gained 6.3 percent in regular trading as investors awaited its earnings report, but gave back about half of that gain despite announcing a rare quarterly profit for the San Jose company.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) gained 3 percent one day after its battle with Autonomy founder Mike Lynch continued, but the Palo Alto tech giant now faces a debt-rating downgrade from Moody's which doesn't see much hope in the PC company's near future.
Silicon Valley tech stocks
Up: Zynga, Advanced Micro Devices, Juniper, SunPower (SPWRA), VMware, Tesla, HP, Workday, Jive Software, Applied Materials, Adobe (ADBE), Electronic Arts (ERTS), Google, Oracle, Symantec, Nvidia, Facebook, Intel
Down: Palo Alto Networks, Netflix (NFLX), Cisco (CSCO), Splunk, Apple (AAPL), Yelp, Yahoo
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Up 23.99, or 0.81 percent, to 2,991.78
The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Up 106.98, or 0.83 percent, to 12,985.11
And the widely watched Standard & Poor's 500 index: Up 10.99, or 0.79 percent, to 1,409.93

FORT WALTON BEACH � Hundreds of people gathered Sunday night to honor and remember the legacy of civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
FORT WALTON BEACH � Hundreds of people gathered Sunday night to honor and remember the legacy of civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The lively celebration at Fort Walton Beach High School was the 27th annual put on by a local committee on the weekend of Martin Luther King Day.
View a photo gallery from the event >>
Carl Winters Jr., 8, winner of the oratorical competition, gave a short speech about what he could do at his age to carry on King�s legacy.
He decided that would be pursuing a high level of education, which would help him reach his goal of becoming the next African American president of the United States.
�I�m going to see the end of what Dr. King started,� he said and then paraphrased a quote of the civil-rights hero. �We are here, and we ain�t going to let nobody turn us around.�
About 60 young voices sang out into the auditorium during the youth choir performance. Another dozen danced, bringing the audience to its feet.
Dr. Gregory Seaton, associate professor of education at the College of New Jersey and the keynote speaker, talked about learned helplessness and how to overcome it.
He told the story of an experiment involving an aggressive type of fish called the pike. The pike was put in a tank with a glass wall separating it from a bunch of feeder fish.
When the pike got hungry, it charged into the glass wall dozens of times to try to get to the fish before eventually giving up.
Then the glass wall was removed, but the pike did nothing.
�The pike had learned to be helpless,� Seaton said. �It learned it so well, that pike died with all it needed to live around him.�
He said every American, every person, needs to work to break that metaphorical glass wall.
That can be done through education, he said. He also said everyone should evaluate the people closest to them in life to see if they are helping them to reach goals or hindering their progress.
He said even though the pike gave up, everyone deserves another chance to try to change, to be better and to move forward in life.
Fort Walton Beach High School student Raven Sansbury, 17, another winner of the oratorical competition, spoke about how that potential for change is in everyone.
She said anyone can be a catalyst for change, from a pregnant teen to a person without a college degree to someone who has a bad reputation. It just needs to start now.
�As we wait and wait and wait, so do the children from future generations,� she said. �Later may never come, so live the legacy now.�
At the end of his speech, Seaton asked anyone in the audience who had participated in a civil rights movement to stand. He thanked them and made a promise.
�We will not let you down,� he said. �Your sacrifices have not been in vain, and we will do, and we will struggle to make our community and our country a better place.�
The Martin Luther King Jr. celebration continues Monday at 10 a.m. with a march from the Fort Walton Beach Civic Auditorium to Fort Walton Beach High School.

Steve Landes: Is fifth term the charm?
Delegate Steve Landes knows quite a lot about spreading manure. And while some might say that's part of the political landscape, he has a valid reason. "When you represent farmers, you learn a lot about their business," he explains.
Manure can be a constituent concern in the 25th District, which includes Augusta County and takes in Crozet in western Albemarle. "I've been asked by constituents to do something about the smell coming onto their land," he relates. "Usually it's people not from Augusta."
Landes, who ran unopposed for his fifth term in the General Assembly, isn't afraid to answer the tough questions. After all, he used to ask them when he was a reporter for the Daily News-Leader in Staunton. "I never feel like a question could be embarrassing," he says. And he isn't afraid to admit when he doesn't know something and has to get back to a reporter.
"I liked asking people questions," he says of his newspapering days, "and learning about different and new things– from the police beat to features to politics."
His love of politics started early. He grew up with politically involved parents in a Republican household in Staunton when Virginia was dominated by Democrats. "My father always liked to root for the underdog," Landes recalls. And he remembers in 1969, when Virginia's first Republican governor, Linwood Holton, ran for office and came to Landes' house.
In 1985, Landes made the jump from journalism to politics, working for Pete Geisen's unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor, and he never looked back.
Landes' day job is executive director of Newbiz Virginia, a small-business incubator that includes Albemarle's Bake'mmm Bagels.
And being a delegate is virtually another full-time job. "I spend a lot of time in Albemarle," he says. "My job is to represent its citizens whether they're Republican, Democrat, independent, or don't even vote."
He says there's a lot of crossover between the folks in western Albemarle and Augusta. "A lot of people who live in Crozet shop in Waynesboro because it's closer and they don't want to deal with 29. And a lot of people in Augusta work in Albemarle," he explains.
Landes admires the view in Crozet: "I live in Weyer's Cave, on the other side of that view."
The differences between the two counties? Albemarle is wealthier and more highly educated, says Landes. But the counties share some issues, in particular, growth– how to pay for it and keep natural areas beautiful and open.
He notes one more thing that differentiates this side of the mountain from Augusta: With Albemarle's horse farms and vineyards, "There's not as much manure."
Age: I'll be 44 November 15.

A Slightly Pink Portland Kitchen
When Jessica and Erik bought their 1,500 sq. ft. Portland house, the kitchen was "almost entirely pink" and "atrocious," as they told Apartment Therapy in this 2009 House Tour. But a little pink wasn't so bad, as they discovered after their DIY kitchen makeover. In fact, it was perfect:
As the couple tells Apartment Therapy:
The layout was funky and made for a lot of dark, unusable spaces. It was also almost entirely pink. We knocked down some walls, took the doors off the upper cabinets, uncovered the original fir floors, and painted everything white except for the vintage Formica countertops. It's the perfect kitchen for us now.
The butcher block is from IKEA, the stainless steel range is from Peerless Premier, and the Jadite knobs and light fixture are from Rejuvenation.
Now that's what we call pretty in pink!

Tetsuo Gaiden: Classic 2D shooting in a 3D world
>> Wednesday, July 8, 2009
Tetsuo Gaiden is a space blast-fest of impressive proportions. Blast your way through wave after wave of aliens as you conquer your way through their home space. Can you and your battle-craft conquer through? Will it be a slaughter? It's all up to you... (Stop looking so worried!)
Usually, most shooters fall short of being entertaining. Happily, thats not the case with Gaiden. Fans of the classic arcade game Galaxian will be right at home here. However, they've taken it a step farther by making it an adventure with a scrolling FMV background, which is smooth scroll, and very cool with lots of activity, and really nice CGI rendered look. However, the actual game graphics layed over the FMV is just standard shooter fare, but thankfully does not get lost in the background.
The sound, ripped straight from the classic gaming days, is very crisp, and brings back the feeling from the old arcade fun. Control is pretty much dead on, but I really had the feeling that it needs more weapons. While gameplay is dead on, it's just not as deep as it could be.
Overall, a good shooter, and good fun for all ages. Though those who play alot of shooters may initally find it simple, it still has enough to keep even the most die-hard fan happy.

The king is dead. Long live the king! Or short live the king, and long live you. The choice is yours. As the second son of the recently deceased monarch (the hero from Fable 2), you are a noble with the world at your feet in Fable 3. As your older brother begins to veer towards tyranny, the throne beckons you. Through your choices you can take the kingdom and rule with benevolence and justice, ushering in an age of peace to Albion, or you can rule with an iron fist and become a tyrant that kills those that would speak out against you. The choice is yours.
Your ascent to the throne is just the beginning. From there you are responsible for the social lives of the people you rule over. If you chose to be selfish and tax them to fill your purse, they will suffer and hate you for it. Your family and advisors will tell try to convince you that the people need your help. If you ignore them and the people suffer, the area will reflect that.
There is also a practical reason to how you treat people both as a king and in the game, beyond just how they react to you. There is a heavy emphasis on the people that follow you in this game. In fact, leveling up is a minor part compared to how many followers you have, and there are dozens of ways to win – and lose – followers. The people you attract are also determined by whether the followers are good or evil. If you kill a random innocent, some people will run from you, while other might like your methods, and vice versa.
Where in past games your actions directly affected your looks, that idea expands to incorporate areas. If the area is poor, the people and the buildings will both look run down, and your character will be met with hostility when you pass through. If you treat the people well, the area will bloom and become idyllic.
The same is also true for weapons this time around. If you kill an innocent person with your sword, that sword might turn black, be stained with blood, or a dozen other possibilities.
The country of Albion has undergone same technological changes since Fable 2. The cities have seen a bit of an industrial revolution, which can make things much better for some, while it can also create deeper inequalities for others. It is up to you to decide whether you will step in and help, reap the benefits of it, or simply ignore it. As king, you also have the choice to stay in your castle and rule or go out and explore, but there will be consequences for both choices. While it might seem more common to a video game to go out and do everything yourself, like stop crimes, it could leave your kingdom in need of a ruler which would increase the peoples' suffering. If you remain in full command of the kingdom, you have the option to begin to expand Albion, which is just one part of the world. If you push too far though, you might start a war with a neighboring country. The scope of Fable 3 is amazing, and you could play the same plot from a different point of view several times over and have a totally different experience each time through.
The first thing that is apparent is the look of the game. The past Fable games were graphically sound and fit the tone of the game, but they were nothing really special. While it would have been easy- even expected- to simply upgrade the looks from the last game, the developers chose to rework the graphics almost entirely from the ground up. The depth to the game is impressive. The world is fully fleshed out and the environments are top notch. Each character has its own look and reactions, and the worlds they inhabit make sense for that character. The graphics have the right feel to them that just fits, and the world comes alive. There are better looking games out there, but few have the add the same level of immersion as Fable 3.
The combat has received a few tweaks, but it builds on all the things that worked in its predecessor rather than reinventing it. It is easy to target enemies (or innocents), and the switch between equipped weapons is no problem at all. There is also the smart addition of a safety that when turned on, will prevent you from accidentally attacking an innocent that may wander in the line of fire and give you a negative reputation without meaning to. It is a simple addition, but it is the minor things in Fable 3 that really add up to make it feel like a fresh and interesting experience in terms of gameplay.
Another change is the addition of gauntlets, rather than equipped spells. You attach spells to the gauntlet, and like weapons, the gauntlets change in looks based on how you use them.
Perhaps the biggest improvements are in the inventory and menu system. Rather than simply having a menu system as most JPRGs offer, or some sort of gameplay mechanic to access a menu, like a high-tech wrist device or a load-out area on a spaceship as in western RPGs, Fable3 allows you to hit start and access your sanctuary, which then lets you walk into the door of your choice and change clothes, weapons, as well as giving you several other options. On paper it sounds like a minor change, and maybe it is, but it just makes things simpler, which is a nice addition.
There is also an increased emphasis on cooperative play, something that failed badly on the previous game. We'll have to wait to see how that plays out though.
If you are a fan of the western style of RPGs, the Fable series is one of the best out on the market, and the sequel seems like it takes everything that worked from the previous entry and improves upon it. For non-RPG fans, the game might seem overwhelming, with 40 hours minimum to beat the story, and multiple endings, but if they give it a chance the adventure style gameplay might just win them over. We'll know for sure on October 26, when the game is released for the Xbox 360 and PC.

Homosexual rights activists are trying to get a ban overturned on accepting blood donations from gay and bisexual men in the UK because it is "offensive," despite the fact that such a change would increase the risk of HIV infection by 50%, in the latest example of political correctness lunacy that is endangering society.
"Rob McDowall, a campaigner on gay rights, has branded current blood-transfusion policy "homophobic" for not accepting blood from men who have had homosexual relationships," reports the Scotsman.
"This outdated, homophobic and offensive rule must be changed to allow gay and bisexual people to give the gift of life," added McDowall.
But there's a very good reason that gay and bisexual men are banned from donating blood in the UK, and it relates to basic public safety.
According to the latest figures held by the Office of National Statistics for HIV, nearly 50 percent of new HIV cases between 1996 and 2005 involved gay and bisexual men, even though they statistically represent just 5-10 per cent of the population (other estimates say 3 percent).
"While the absolute number of cases of HIV in heterosexuals diagnosed annually is greater than for men who have had sex with men, when the size of the respective populations is taken into account it can be seen that the relative risk of exposure is very different," according to Dr Brian McClelland, strategy director at ScotBlood.
He added: "Figures would indicate a man who has had sex with a man is seven times more likely to contract HIV than a heterosexual."
"Abolishing the rule for gay men would increase the risk of an HIV-infected donation entering the blood supply by about five times, and changing the rule to allow gay men to donate one year after they last had sex with a man would increase the risk by 60 per cent," said McClelland.
For militant gay campaigners like McDowall, the fact that changing the law would mean 50 percent more people would have their lives ruined and possibly die from the scourge of HIV matters little in comparison to ensuring that homosexuals aren't "offended".
Cold hard facts and a sober understanding that overturning the ban would see HIV and AIDS skyrocket is not good enough for homosexual lobbyists, who have found support from the Labour government every step of the way in ramming through legislation to elevate gays almost above the law and make everyone else second class citizens.
BBC presenter Robin Page was arrested in 2002 for giving a speech in which he argued that countryside campaigners and farmers "should be given the same rights as blacks, Muslims and gays". How dare Page suggest that we mere scum should be under the same law as the precious homosexuals? They are the God race and we are just disgusting "breeders," as the homosexuals can rightly call us without being arrested for committing hate crime.
Perhaps I should even refrain from publishing this article since as a UK citizen I could be subject to arrest under section 5 of the Public Order Act for making homophobic remarks. Homophobia has been warped to mean any comments that aren't positive towards homosexuals. We are told to be tolerant of alternative lifestyles but the people that lead those lifestyles are completely intolerant of anyone using their free speech to disagree with them.
In January 2006, an Oxford University student who said to a police officer, "Excuse me, do you realise your horse is gay?" was arrested and taken to court for making homophobic remarks. Any comments that cause "harassment, alarm or distress" are now illegal. Most gay people would be "distressed" to hear that their lifestyle is neither moral or healthy and so an advocate of that view would be subject to arrest for expressing an opinion.
National Director for Christian Voice Stephen Green was arrested at a homosexual event in Cardiff, South Wales, for passing out leaflets entitled "Same-sex love, same-sex sex: what does the Bible say?"
Homosexuals even have their own special wing of the UK's police force to protect them – Green was detained by an officer wearing a fluorescent vest with 'Minorities Support Unit' written on the back.
Since church-going Christians are now also a minority in the UK, and are constantly subject to abuse and humiliation in the media and society – will a special police unit be assigned to protect their rights? Don't bet on it.
Perhaps those that criticize new proposals to legalize a "scientific technique that could allow same-sex couples to create their own biological child in a laboratory" should also be arrested for making homophobic comments?
This entire debacle again underlines how political correctness is just another pretext for political thought control and that its application to the most bizarre and damaging ends is a greater threat to society than the supposed ills it seeks to address.

Synopsis: A soldier, swaddled in body armor, guards the border of his country. This is not an area of tension; nothing warlike happens here; all that comes from across the border over in the enemy land are radio waves carrying the speeches of its leader, Marehito played by Hideyo Amamoto (Yojimbo, Kamen Rider). The soldier's only duty is to monitor these speeches, and he is sick to the teeth of the dictator's raving.
In his quarters is a female android, a 'comfort woman' issued him by the government. He lives quietly with his green-eyed ILYA Type 6, and is responsible for his desert border area. That is the whole of this soldier's life.
One day a military official pays a call on his quarters. There has been a shuffle of personnel in the high echelons, and a slight change in policy has been made. The ILYA Type 6 is to be upgraded.
Fantastically captured the theme of sexuality and politics by images comprehend severe tension and outlook overhang a bleak scene. -- Tokitoshi Shiota

Technology seems to advance faster in certain areas more than others. For example, in communication it advances especially fast. It's almost as if technology has an agenda and communication is paramount. Extra emphasis almost seems to be placed on it. Being that technology is an extension of evolution it must operate by the same principles. And it does seem to. Random mutation can be accounted for in experimentation. Communication is a primary goal of technology because it helps technology flourish and achieve its other goals by allowing the ideas to be spread, adapted, peerly reviewed and improved upon.
One thing seems certain if we acknowledge where our means of communication came from, where it is today and going tomorrow. We can project where it will be in the more distant future. We are essentially becoming a telepathic species. We already can communicate with someone from anywhere on the planet. Whenever we want. One day we will all have the capability of being connected by our minds in real-time, as many participants as we wish. At which point we will have a new medium of voice. It will be that of choosing which ideas to share, which emotions, which memories, visions, dreams? We will no longer be limited to communicating by means of sounds created by passing wind through various pieces of flesh. We will have a new platform for language. What will it be like. You could meet a person and with a wink... send them your contact information and a few songs and movies you might think they will like. This is the type of thing that normally happens throughout multiple encounters today. Happening in the blink of an eye. No more limitations of tactile computers.
When this happens too... EVERYONE in the world will have access to the internet and will be part of the global conversation. What problems will these people solve for themselves and how will WE apply that technology to improve OUR lives. We will be a collective, with the purpose of solving humanities grandest challenges. The Earth catapulted into a healing mode. Our intelligence will be so far beyond what it is today that we can't even fathom what we will solve and discern. I believe religion will be one of the first things we learn from. At this point I believe we will all learn the value of critical thinking and rationality. Not to mention at this point.. our COMPUTERS will aid our thinking making us all incredibly intelligent individually. Imagine the extent at which all of these factors will multiply each others effectiveness while weighing in on the global intelligence of our species? Exciting!
I suppose spoken language will slowly but largely become obsolete. Still used by those unable or unwilling to connect their minds for whatever reason. However, many may never learn it. I think we might use our spoken language within our minds for a time... passing words back and forth but with the new tools we will quickly find far better alternatives. English for example will become something similar to Sanskrit.And similarly... most other forms of language will still exist. But natural selection will allow for this new language to flourish far beyond what English ever did.
I wish we had a Futurism or Technology or Techno-Optimism discussion forum!

Sadly I will not be there when this future happens but I guess it will be an interesting time
Who knows when this will happen. We may very well all get to see it. We may none of us get to see it in our lifetime.
For me, with most emerging technologies and advances in humanity. I try and see the big picture and not worry about whether or not I get to see it but be glad to be a part of the cycle of life who will ultimately create it.
Don't misunderstand me, I am glad to be part of the cycle who will ultimately create it. Am also cognizant of the rapid developments in IT but I think for a while to come whereas communication maybe visual, some of the traditional methods that we use may still be most dominant
You mean like the Chinese curse?: "May you live in interesting times"
Augmented reality will be huge in the future. And yes, its probable that ideas we place within and what we visualize in our augmented reality will likely be able to be pushed to anothers augmented reality as well.
I'm not talking glasses thought. I'm talking directly to their mind.
We always wonder how will we ever create this holographic displays we see in film. There is no technology that allows for it. I think we will skip this altogether and it will be done within our minds.
Technology can abstract us from details.
I could flash tons of information at you. If you can't process it, it is useless. Say I communicated 6,000 movie titles to you in 10 nanoseconds, what would you do with that? You can read a book the old fashioned way and take ten years to comprehend the meaning. As a computer designer, this is the story of my life. Just never enough processing power or memory to crunch the data. As we abstract applications away from the transistors, we need more processing power and memory. The net gain is not all that great. I could do a lot with Lotus123 running on DOS back in the 80's. Not sure Excel is any better at all, however I had to actually know more about the mathematical fundamentals to use 123.
I design avionics. The big concern is not to "overload" a pilot's senses, keep them focused. If you ever landed in a fog bank, it's because the pilot was not in control at all. The radios and computers landed that aircraft. Technology will abstract us from details.
Interesting... my brother is a pilot for a major airline.. he says they barely do anything while they're flying. Amazing to me.
About processing power. I agree, I wasn't trying to say you would send a song or a movie and they would instantly absorb it...I more meant send it for them to enjoy when they had the time. HOWEVER, We are going to have the ability to properly absorb information eventually. We already have brain pacemakers being implanted in Alzheimer patients. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/12/121205102615.htm As I said above, eventually computers will be aiding us to think, process, store data and solve problems.
lol wtf stfu faggot lolcats hitler jews and jesus. i think we have achieved singularity already.
Well hello there! You seem like a charming and intelligent young man!
That is the final answer to the OP's question.
In the future, we will divide into two societies - the Eloi will continue using multisyllabic English, while the Morloks will use cell phone text-speak.

Santa Clara Pueblo
Ruins at Puye Cliffs, Santa Clara Pueblo
Santa Clara Pueblo straddles the Rio Grande about 25 miles north of Santa Fe. Of all the pueblos, Santa Clara has the largest number of potters.
The ancestral roots of the Santa Clara people have been traced to the pueblos in the Mesa Verde region in southwestern Colorado. When that area began to get dry between about 1100 and 1300, some of the people migrated to the Chama River Valley and constructed Poshuouinge (about 3 miles south of what is now Abiquiu on the edge of the mesa above the Chama River). Eventually reaching two and three stories high with up to 700 rooms on the ground floor, Poshuouinge was inhabited from about 1375 to about 1475. Drought then again forced the people to move, some of them going to the area of Puye (on the eastern slopes of the Pajarito Plateau of the Jemez Mountains) and others to Ohkay Owingeh (San Juan Pueblo, along the Rio Grande). Beginning around 1580, drought forced the residents of the Puye area to relocate closer to the Rio Grande and they founded what we now know as Santa Clara Pueblo on the west bank of the river, between San Juan and San Ildefonso Pueblos.
In 1598 Spanish colonists from nearby Yunque (the seat of Spanish government near San Juan Pueblo) brought the first missionaries to Santa Clara. That led to the first mission church being built around 1622. However, the Santa Clarans chafed under the weight of Spanish rule like the other pueblos did and were in the forefront of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. One pueblo resident, a mixed black and Tewa man named Domingo Naranjo, was one of the rebellion's ringleaders. When Don Diego de Vargas came back to the area in 1694, he found most of the Santa Clarans on top of nearby Black Mesa (with the people of San Ildefonso). An extended siege didn't subdue them so eventually, the two sides negotiated a treaty and the people returned to their pueblo. However, successive invasions and occupations by northern Europeans took their toll on the tribe over the next 250 years. The Spanish flu pandemic in 1918 almost wiped them out.
Today, Santa Clara Pueblo is home to as many as 2,600 people and they comprise probably the largest per capita number of artists of any North American tribe (estimates of the number of potters run as high as 1-in-4 residents).
Today's pottery from Santa Clara is typically either black or red. It is usually highly polished and designs might be deeply carved or etched ("sgraffito") into the pot's surface. The water serpent, ("avanyu"), is a traditional design motif of Santa Clara pottery. Another motif comes from the legend that a bear helped the people find water during a drought. The bear paw has appeared on their pottery ever since.
One of the reasons for the distinction this pueblo has received is because of the evolving artistry the potters have brought to the craft. Not only did this pueblo produce excellent black and redware, several notable innovations helped move pottery from the realm of utilitarian vessels into the domain of art. Different styles of polychrome redware emerged in the 1920's-1930's. In the early 1960's experiments with stone inlay, incising and double firing began. Modern potters have also extended the tradition with unusual shapes, slips and designs, illustrating what one Santa Clara potter said: "At Santa Clara, being non-traditional is the tradition." (This refers strictly to artistic expression; the method of creating pottery remains traditional).
Santa Clara Pueblo is home to a number of famous pottery families: Tafoya, Baca, Gutierrez, Naranjo, Suazo, Chavarria, Garcia, Vigil, Tapia - to name a few.

Pottery Care & Consideration
- The most obvious tip: Yes, the pots will break if you drop them!
- Do not expose pottery to water (Inside or outside). Do not wipe with a damp cloth.
- Dust pottery only with a soft, smooth cloth (no terry cloth or textured fabric). A very soft paintbrush (sable or camel) can be used.
- Always use two hands to carry your pot: one on top and one on the bottom, or one hand on each side. Be careful with handles, they can be fragile. Do not grip or lift pots by the rim. Take care when wearing jewelry, rings can scratch the finish.
- Place a piece of felt or cloth between the pot and the shelf to protect the signature.
- Avoid exposing pottery to extreme temperature changes.
For those who live in "earthquake country" (also good for mischievous pets):
- Weigh pots down with a small zip lock bag containing sand, glass marbles, rice, etc. Do not fill the pot more than one third full as you want them bottom heavy. Remember to remove the weight before moving.
- Secure your shelves; make sure they are well attached to the walls. Shelf brackets should be of sufficient length and strength to support the weight of your pottery.
- Prevent pots from sliding. Consider attaching a small wooden molding to the front of shelves. Line shelves with non-slip material (a thin sheet of rubber foam, Styrofoam sheeting, etc.)
- If you need assistance with special problems, major cleaning (your grandchild spills ice cream on your pot), restoration or repair (the cat breaks a pot), or replacement (irreparable damage), please feel free to call us.
We hope these ideas help you maintain the beauty and value of your pottery for years of enjoyment.

Most readers are acutely aware that A Christmas Carol, contains as some of its most important and memorable characters, a certain number of ghosts, besides the person of Ebenezer Scrooge. However, I would venture to say, that the public-at-large are largely unaware that Charles Dickens began his illustrious writing career within the realm of the supernatural. Thus, it should come as no surprise that the lettered Englishman was an early and active member of the Ghost Club, founded in 1862.
Dr. Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia in the early 19th-century, commented within his work, Medical Inquiries and Observations, Upon the Diseases of the Mind (1818), that, "The fear of ghosts should be prevented or subdued in early life, by teaching children the absurdity and falsehood of all the stories that are fabricated by nurses upon that subject."
As early as 1732, an article entitled, "Of Ghosts, Demons, and Spectres," published in the prestigious English journal, Gentleman's Magazine, reported how, "Some spirits or ghosts owe their existence only to a distempered imagination...The cheat is begun by nurses with stories of Bugbear, etc., from whence we are gradually led to listen to the traditionary accounts of local ghosts..."
I bring up nurses, since Charles Dickens once remarked how his family's nurse, the daughter of a shipwright, named Mercy, though he stated how "she had none on me." She frequently related to him as a child such nightmarish tales, as that of Captain Murderer, truly a Halloween-type tale if there ever was one!
In volume three of Dicken's work, All The Year Round, A Weekly Journal, published in September of 1860, he recounts the morbid tale of the murderous Captain, who had a habit of marrying women who mysteriously passed away, not long after the wedding. Dickens states how the Captain, being:
"Alone with his wife on the day month after their marriage, it was his whimsical custom to produce a golden rolling-pin and a silver pie-board. Now, there was this special feature in the Captain's courtships, that he always asked if the young lady could make pie-crust; and if she couldn't by nature or education, she was taught."The Captain would then bring out "a silver pie-dish of immense capacity, and...brought out flour and butter and eggs and all things needful, except the inside of the pie," then his bride would remark, "Dear Captain, what pie is this to be?" His reply, "A meat pie." Naturally his new wife said, "Dear Captain Murderer, I see no meat." The Captain humorously retorted, "Look in the glass." She looked in the glass, but still she saw no meat, and then the Captain roared with laughter, and suddenly frowning and drawing his sword, bade her roll out the crust," which she would obediently proceed to do.
Once the crust was cut and "ready to fit the top" of the dish, the Captain would call out, "I see the meat in the glass! And the bride looked up at the glass, just in time to see the Captain cutting her head off; and he chopped her into pieces, and peppered her, and salted her, and put her in the pie, and sent it to the baker's, and ate it all, and picked the bones."
Charles Dickens relates further details concerning the life of Captain Murderer, stating how eventually the cannibal married one of "two twin sisters," one fair-haired and the other dark. The one not chosen, or the brunette, soon became suspicious of the Captain's actions, and actually witnessed him filing his teeth to a sharp point and then murder her sybling; followed by his baking, peppering, salting her sister's corpse, then sending her remains "to the baker's, and ate it all, and picked the bones."
Wanting revenge for the death of her sister, the other twin enticed the Captain to marry her which he did. The same deadly procedure was carried out upon the other sister as well, but prior to being chopped up and eaten, she purposely had "taken a deadly poison of a most awful character, distilled from toads' eyes and spiders' knees," and after the Captain 'had his fill' and "had hardly picked her last bone," he "began to swell, and to turn blue, and to be all over spots, and to scream." This process continued until he eventually exploded.
As Dickens states: "Hundreds of times did I hear this legend of Captain Murderer, in my early youth...there was a mental compulsion upon me in bed, to peep in at his window as the dark twin peeped, and to revisit his horrible house, and look at him in his blue and spotty and screaming stage..." He added how, the nurse or "young woman who brought me acquainted with Captain Murderer, had a fiendish enjoyment of my terrors, and used to begin, I remember--as a sort of introductory overture--by clawing the air with both hands, and uttering a long low hollow groan....I sometimes used to plead I thought I was hardly strong enough and old enough to hear the story again...But she never spared me one word of it..."
The above story of course are variants of the English tale of "Mr. Fox," and that of the famed French account of "Bluebeard," who were both cannibal bride-grooms who murdered and/or ate their wives.
One would think Dickens would have been ruined for life, but as Harry Stone says in his work, The Night Side of Dickens: Cannibalism, Passion, Necessity (Columbus: Ohio State University, 1994), Dickens consequently became, "an early devotee of the wonder-filled realms of fairy tales, folklore, and mythology," which added to his creativity as a writer (p.20).
Many such stories as the above, including publications containing Charles Dickens' story of Captain Murderer, can be found in the collections at The Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
Happy Halloween!

This is another area that is very industry-dependent, but it is highly unlikely that any company can afford to have an entire contract team devoted to managing one portfolio. More than likely, it is more realistic to divvy up the team and the contracts so that there is a leader for each relevant sphere. The entire team will obviously have to coordinate and communicate, but resources must be allocated in the most efficient manner possible. In turn, this will allow for several individuals to keep an eye on a smaller batch of contracts, thereby facilitating those periodic reviews. Outsource the Tedium to Technology.

Snaps of the actress looking thinner than usual appeared online last week, and gossips jumped on stories suggesting Charlie Sheen's ex-wife had adopted an extreme diet.
But Richards has since set the record straight, insisting she's still one of the healthiest people she knows.
She tells "Extra," "I don't why lately I've been getting so much flak for it… I have a very healthy lifestyle and I'm busy. I have a daughter, who's almost 2, that I carry all the time, she's just under 30 pounds.
"What bothers me is I have three daughters… and I'm such an advocate for health and fitness – in moderation. I mean, we eat ice-cream all the time."

Dan Carter, the International Rugby Board's player of the year, has failed to make the shortlist for the All Blacks' top award.
Captain Richie McCaw, No8 Kieran Read and centre Conrad Smith are the New Zealand Rugby Union's nominees for the Kelvin R Tremain Memorial player of the year award, which will be announced in Auckland on Friday.
All Blacks' first-five Carter beat McCaw, Englishman Owen Farrell and Frenchman Freddie Michalak for the IRB player of the year award recently. It was the second time Carter had won the award.
In other nominees announced, Israel Dagg, Liam Messam and Aaron Smith are contenders for the Tom French Memorial Maori player of the year, and Rawinia Everitt, Fiao'o Fa'amausili, Selica Winiata are vying for the NZRU women's player of the year award.

Gov. Rick Perry's use of a handgun to kill a coyote that he says was threatening a labrador puppy may have violated both city of Austin ordinances and state law.
Perry spokesman Mark Miner said the governor's staff is researching various ordinances and laws and will respond later.
The only real issue is whether Perry's rental home and the area he was jogging in is within Austin city limits or in unincorporated Travis County. The $9,000 a month rental home is in a sparsely populated, wooded subdivision. Coyotes are a problem in many Austin neighborhoods.
Zoning records of the city of Austin show the subdivision where Perry's rental home is located is within the city limits. Austin city ordinances specifically forbid the discharge of a firearm in city limits, with some exceptions. A violation is a misdemeanor punishable by a $500 fine.
The city ordinance on the hunting or trapping of animals says:
(A) Except as provided in Subsection (B), a person may not:
(1) knowingly shoot, kill, or hunt a wild animal; or
(2) use a steel-jawed spring trap or any other type of trap that could injure a trapped animal or person.
(B) Subsection (A) does not prohibit the use of conventional mouse traps to catch mice and rats.
(C) It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this section that the person is:
(1) a City employee acting within the course and scope of the person's duty's as a City employee; or
(2) acting within the scope of an unexpired permit issued by the director of the Parks and Recreation Department or the director of the Water and Wastewater Department authorizing the person to hunt or trap animals on a wildlife preserve.
Source: 1992 Code Section 10-1-6; Ord. 031009-9; Ord. 031211-11.
Perry's discharge also may have violated his concealed handgun permit.
The state law says "concealed" means a handgun must be kept in a way where it is "not openly discernible to the ordinary observation of a reasonable person." Hard to imagine how one goes jogging and conceals a handgun, even in a secluded neighborhood.
In terms of whether a permit holder illegally discharged a firearm:
(e) It is a defense to prosecution for an offense under Subsection
(a)(9) or (11) that the person who discharged the firearm had a reasonable
fear of bodily injury to the person or to another by a dangerous
wild animal as defined by Section 822.101, Health and Safety Code.
Perry told the Associated Press that he feared for the puppy, not himself or another person. CORRECTED. Perry did say he felt the coyote was threatening him and the dog.
State law also indicates that the discharge should have been reported to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
§6.119. REPORTABLE INCIDENT. (a) Reportable incident defined. A
reportable incident occurs, and a local law enforcement agency shall
submit a report, under the following circumstances:
(1) when a license holder is arrested for a felony, a Class A or
Class B misdemeanor, or disorderly conduct, or for any federal, state,
or municipal offense involving unlawful possession, display, discharge,
purchase, or transfer of a handgun, firearm, or weapon;
(2) when a license holder is responsible for a reportable discharge
of a handgun or other firearm. A reportable discharge occurs when:
(A) a firearm is discharged accidentally;
(B) a firearm discharge results in injury to any person;
(C) a firearm discharge results in damage to property over $20;
(D) any other discharge occurs other than during target practice,
proficiency demonstration, ceremonial discharge, or weapon test;
(3) any other safety violation.
(b) Method of reporting. Data on the concealed handgun incident
report form shall be submitted to the department on a monthly basis,
along with such agency's Uniform Crime Reporting data.
Defending the governor's coyote killing, Perry spokesman Mark Miner cited a section of the Health and Safety Code that says a coyote that is about to attack domestic animals may be killed by a person witnessing the attack.
He also cited a section of the penal code on "justification excluding criminal responsibility" that says conduct is justified if "immediately necessary to avoid imminent harm."
And Miner cited the defense to prosecution noted above, that the person who discharged the firearm "had a reasonable fear of bodily injury to the person or to another by a dangerous wild animal as defined by Section 822.101, Health and Safety Code" — even though Perry told the AP he only feared for the pup.
"If he had to do it again, he would," Miner said.

Remember, foundation first, then concealer. If you need more concealer, add it then, but most concealers will likely cover any blemish with just a single coat. Regular concealer might not work for every person in every instance. Sometimes the wrong application can even cause dermatology problems. The following tips can help you learn how to apply concealer the correct way, no matter what brand you use. You can apply concealer with your fingers, a brush, a make-up sponge, or a cotton swab. Then they can head on over to "Dazzling Nails" for a manicure or "Beauty Studio" for a makeover. Little girls across the country have tried to counterfeit the Bratz stylish ways. Now girls can dress up Bratz every day. Choose your Bratz dummyto start. Select the pattern or decide the outfit's color. Before showcasing your latest masterpiece, choose a scene. For instance, if you are fair skinned choose pastel colors rather than bright colors and do not use dark colors on your lips or nails.
Little girls are able to design their character from scratch selecting required makeover. Your children may even print their creation as an image and show it other girls. Jackson provided a lot of support to his customers. When I saw how helpful he was I started to think that The Magic Of Making Up was not a scam. Jackson to see if he would reply and he did. However today, children can perform everything with easily, online. The sites offer multiple Flash makeup games. Most of makeover games created for children are educational. This is because they don't have oil glands that secrete sebum. Hence you can safely use matte shades or shiny glosses. Marilynn Syrett is a skin care professional who graduated from Western University of Health Sciences. Such Barbie makeover games include a great number of games and gamers will even be able to dress like Batman.
Use a lightweight oil-free and non comedogenic sunscreen that protects the skin against any sun damage. Make-Up Tips Foundation Use an oil free liquid foundation that provides a natural looking coverage to your face. Avoid thick creamy sunscreens that make your skin oilier and end up clogging the skin pores. Haven't you always wanted to have a flawless complexion? While make-up can help you camouflage some of the flaws, you need to practice proper skin care to get a naturally healthy glow that lasts forever. Do not use this time to choose an outlandish nail color or design but rather stay with pastels if you are fair skinned and save the dark colors for other occasions. Those who have dark hair and complexion can certainly wear darker colors on both nails lips, but light to medium skin needs to stay with pastels and earth tones in order to obtain the classy and sexy look you want to present for your prom.
You can also opt for medical procedures like microdermabrasion and chemical peels. Many women skip this step, but if you do, you will likely find that the concealer has worn off by the middle of the day. Pressed powder can actually save you money, since it means you have to apply your concealer less often. For the best application, apply the concealer with a light hand. When girls visit the Games0nlinecom website they can update Barbie's look at the "Snip n' Style Salon" or go on a "Shopping Spree" and dress up their favorite "My Scene" dolls with new fashions from the mall. Many young people make the mistake of thinking they need to overdo their make up in order to set up their complexion, but this is the worst thing you can do.

Physiology of Stressed Crops: Nutrient Relations
Taylor & Francis, Jan 3, 2005 - Technology & Engineering - 250 pages
This volume covers various aspects of nutrient (deficiency or toxicity) stress in general, and the effects of stress factors like soil acidity, soil salinity, allelochemicals, soil compaction, drought, water logging, atmospheric humidity, low temperature and freezing, high temperature (heat), solar radiation (low or high intensity and UV light) and air pollution have been discussed. The nutrient stress caused by parasitic weeds has also been discussed separately. Such a study will greatly help in avoiding the stress-induced problems of nutrient unavailability, fixation, excessive availability, uptake, transport, mineralization symbiotic fixation, and removal etc. and help in growing better crops in problem soils and/or problematic environments.

The Fins signed Marques Douglas Friday to fill in for Merling (hopefully, replace permanantly). Douglas is 33 and a bit of a journeyman, but he is one of Nolans guys and played for Nolan in Baltimore and during Nolans stint as 9er's head coach. That's good so he should be able to hit the ground running since he should already know the system. Obviously, he is not a long term solution but he will provide depth and veteran leadership to a unit that lost some with Ferguson's retirement and Merlings injury.
Anyone who has read my previous posts knows that I am pretty down on Merling, so I'm not going to misss him at all. I really hope they cut that knucklehead and move on.

What: Boulder City Council public hearing on USA Pro Cycling Challenge
When: 6 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Boulder Municipal Building, 1777 Broadway
More info: An analysis of legal issues around the bicycle race's Boulder stage is expected to be posted Thursday night at bouldercolorado.gov.
A group of Boulder residents has asked the city to change the finish for the USA Pro Cycling Challenge from Sunrise Amphitheater to Realization Point, where Summit Road turns off from Flagstaff Road.
Ending the race at Realization Point would preserve a finish on Flagstaff Mountain but keep the race on a county road, limiting the conflict with Boulder's charter and ordinances, say the residents, who are affiliated with PLAN-Boulder County and Friends of Boulder Open Space but were not speaking for those organizations.
The group — former city councilman and Camera columnist Steve Pomerance, PLAN-Boulder County Chairwoman Ruth Blackmore, PLAN-Boulder County board member Gwen Dooley, Friends of Boulder Open Space board member Karen Hollweg and Raymond Bridge, who serves on the board of both organizations — proposed changing the finish line in an email to Boulder City Council members this week.
They said they do not believe the city can resolve the potential legal barriers to ending the race at the amphitheater, as race organizers have planned.
"We would like the Pro Cycling Challenge race stage in Boulder to be a success," they wrote. "But we do not support the current plans to end the race at the Flagstaff 'summit.'"
They urged the city to tell race organizers the summit is "out of bounds" and to prepare for a finish at Realization Point.
"Based on the history of the area, both the Summit Road (from Realization Point to the Amphitheater) and the surrounding areas are City of Boulder Open Space," they wrote. "Thus, finishing by taking the Summit Road to the 'summit' is in conflict with Charter Section 176, which only allows 'passive recreation' in such a location. … The road from Baseline to Realization Point is a County Road, and so its use is not subject to equivalent constraints, although of course the land outside of the County Road right-of-way is Open Space."
The email's authors said someone could sue the city to stop the race if it is allowed on open space. That could throw the entire idea of the Flagstaff finish into great uncertainty, as well as costing the city and organizers time and money.
Changing the race finish would cut a little more than half a mile and 100 vertical feet from the 103-mile Boulder stage of the elite cycling race. The Boulder stage is set for Aug. 25, day six of the seven-day race.
The opponents of a finish at the amphitheater also argued that ending at Realization Point would be more dramatic, allowing for better views of the riders approaching the finish, and safer, because there is more room for spectators.
Pomerance has been raising concerns about potential legal barriers to finishing the race on Flagstaff for several weeks. Members of the Open Space Board of Trustees also have asked the City Council to clarify why the cycling race is being allowed on open space, when the board has turned down other requests to hold competitive events there for years.
Lawyers with the City Attorney's Office have been going through the city code to determine which rules would have to be waived to allow the race and determine what issues may require ordinance changes or action by the City Council. A report on that research is expected to be released later this week.
A public hearing on issues related to the race is scheduled for Tuesday's City Council meeting.
"We fully anticipate the council will be hearing feedback from the public on a variety of issues, including the City Attorney's Office's interpretation of whether ordinances need to be waived or changed and the issue of the finish on Flagstaff," city spokeswoman Sarah Huntley said.
The City Council members will provide direction to the staff based on what they hear. Huntley said people with concerns as well as those who support the race as planned are encouraged to attend the meeting and express their opinions.
Barry Siff, co-chairman of the Boulder stage's organizing committee, said city staff members seemed to have a good handle on the legal issues, and he would wait to hear from them before responding to the proposal to move the finish.
"I'm going to reserve any comment until after Tuesday," he said.
In the email, the opponents of finishing at the Flagstaff summit also said it appears that the race organizers have been granted a de facto exclusive permit to hold an event on open space, and such a permit requires the approval of the open space board.
As evidence that the race's use of Flagstaff would be exclusive, they cited several weddings scheduled for the race weekend that had been canceled.
Open Space and Mountain Parks spokesman Dean Paschall said three weddings set for the race weekend — one for that Friday and two for that Saturday — were told that they would have to change their dates. He said the couples were informed early in the year.
"That was on the top of our to-do list, because that's something people plan for well in advance," he said. "We wanted to make sure it was least disruptive as possible."
Whether the race constitutes an exclusive permit is one of the issues addressed in the legal review, which has not been released yet.
The email authors also chided the city for not holding a meeting until now, months after the race route was announced.
"We think that the way this race is being handled creates a very bad precedent," they wrote. "Decisions have been made behind the scenes by City staff without any opportunity for citizen input, comments have been made about not enforcing Boulder's laws, and Boulder's charter seems to be seen as an obstacle or something to be worked around, rather than a set of principles to be upheld."
Bridge, one of the email's authors, said someone who has been denied the opportunity in the past to hold a competitive event in the same spot might wonder why the Pro Cycling Challenge is being allowed to do so.
"The objective here is to make the race a success, not to stop it in any way," he said. "Because of some of the charter issues, we think the best way for it be a success is to have a different finish. We also think it will make it a better race."
Because Tuesday will be the first public meeting on the race, it's hard to know whether there is opposition in the community, Bridge said.
"We can't really know for sure because up to this point we haven't had a good public process like we usually have in Boulder," he said.
