What: Boulder Sprint Triathlon
When: Sunday, June 16, 7:30 a.m.
Where: Boulder Reservoir
More info: http://bit.ly/17HCeOQ
The 2013 Boulder Sprint Triathlon will pioneer a new swim start that allows athletes to arrange themselves on the sand by ability rather than by age group, race organizers say.
The amateur-friendly race, which draws more beginners than the two longer-distance races in the Boulder Triathlon Series, will be safer with the change, said race director Dave Christen.
Historically, triathlons have started with either mass starts, in which everyone jumps into the water at once, or with age group starts, in which racers split into waves based on age.
At the Boulder Reservoir on Sunday, athletes will self-select which wave to join based on their 100-meter swim time; the fastest swimmers start the race, with the slowest swimmers bringing up the rear, so to speak.
"What happens if you get people that swim at similar speeds together is you don't have the climbing over top of each other and the bumping and the disorganization that happens if they're not lined up that way," Christen said.
With age group starts, slower or newer swimmers often feel intimidated by faster swimmers coming up behind them, or may overexert themselves to keep up with faster swimmers in their age group, which can lead to dangerous situations, Christen said.
Christen, who works for the race's organizer, Ironman, worked with Boulder's Scott Fliegelman on the new concept. Fliegelman, founder of FastForward Sports, said he's been working on this concept for much of the last decade.
Organizing athletes by ability seems like a no-brainer — it's the same organizational style running races like the Bolder Boulder use, Fliegelman said. He added that he doesn't know why it has taken so long for someone to implement this change.
"The person in the room 20 years ago who said 'Let's put people in waves by age and gender' must've been the dominant one, and 'How about by swim speed?' was the meek person," Fliegelman said, laughing.
Typically there's a five-minute gap between age group waves, Fliegelman said, to allow each wave to distance itself from the next. It can take up to 75 minutes just to start the race, he said.
But with ability waves, it'll be a rolling start, which will take significantly less time, Fliegelman said.
The plan is to implement the new swim start at the two other Boulder Triathlon Series events, the Boulder Peak Triathlon and Ironman 70.3 Boulder, using the sprint race as a test run. Organizers will make tweaks based on how it goes Sunday, Fliegelman said.
The sprint race has no prize purse, which means no one knows which top athletes — if any — will show up. Last year's winners, Boulder's Drew Scott and Australian Lisa Marangon, both say they aren't returning. Some 1,200 people are expected to race, organizer Christen said.
Four-time Olympic runner and Boulder resident Colleen De Reuck, 49, began competing in triathlons last year as a change-up from running all the time, she said. De Reuck's husband Darren will also compete.
The most challenging part of training for De Reuck has been getting used to running after cycling, she said.
Melinda Downey, who works for a Boulder-based company that provides audio and video for all Ironman races, will compete at the sprint with her 69-year-old mother-in-law, Doris.
"She's most likely going to beat me," Downey, 42, said.
Doris Downey, a retired University of Colorado professor and assistant dean, said she wanted to do something "extreme" before her 70th birthday, in December.
She's been training everyday to prepare for the race she said, including "dusting off" her bike, which has been sitting in the garage. She visited the Boulder Reservoir last week to test out her wetsuit, and was surprised to find so many helpful athletes to give her advice.
"This sport is so congenial and supportive of other athletes, it was really quite amazing to me," she said.

Not a handset I have heard of before though it looks like NenaMark benchmarks have thrown up some more Sony Ericsson goodies.
The Sony Ericsson Aoba looks pretty much a carbon copy of the Nazomi which suggests there may well be two of them out there being benchmarked for different networks?

All through this year, we've been bringing you the latest music on air and online. Now, as we approach the year's end, we're catching up on some music we missed. Today, we hear from this singer-songwriter in Seattle.
MIKE HADREAS: I'm Mike Hadreas, and I sing in Perfume Genius.
PERFUME GENIUS: (Singing) You would never call me baby, if you knew true.
MONTAGNE: NPR Music chose this track from Perfume Genius's second album as one of its 50 favorite songs of the year. Mike Hadreas describes his sound this way.
HADREAS: That kind of creepy, beautiful mix of things. It's kind of like this warm wash of something that's beautiful, but unsettling at the same time.
MONTAGNE: The topics he covers are unsettling, subjects like teen suicide. This next one is exceptionally hard to hear, and for Mike Hadreas to tell. It's about his own mother's experience of sexual abuse.
PERFUME GENIUS: (Singing) The hands of God were bigger than grandpa's eyes, but still he broke the elastic on your waist. But he'll never break you, baby.
HADREAS: It can be a very lonely thing, but I wanted to clap for my mom, I suppose, and just let her know all that courage is, you know, filtered down to me, hopefully - or at least I admire it a lot.
MONTAGNE: You could hear these songs as therapy. Hadreas thinks of them as that, and also a call to take people as they are. In this music video, he plays a male prostitute walking the deserted streets of Seattle's industrial district, with a song offering a kind of acceptance and respect.
PERFUME GENIUS: (Singing) Take me home, tend to me baby, lay me down easy, for I have grown weary on my own.
HADREAS: And I wear, you know, heels and like a football jersey dress in the last video, you know. And then I will be at a show and I will see, like, another boy in a dress or something smiling up at me. And it's part of the reason why I do it.
MONTAGNE: For 2012, Out magazine named Mike Hadreas one of the most influential LGBT people of the year. You can hear songs from Perfume Genius at NPRMusic.org. And on MORNING EDITION, we'll be bringing you more music we missed in the days ahead.
PERFUME GENIUS: (Singing) I will carry on. I will carry on...

Sharing some tapas, enjoying a bottle of European wine and relaxing to live jazz music on a Saturday night. European style.
Such an experience is what the Wilkins family imagined when it opened Bistro Magia at 5925 Zang St. in South Jeffco.
"The tapas concept is really a social thing," said Frank Wilkins, who opened Bistro Magia with his wife, Sharon. "Just taking your time, relaxing and just taking a minute out of everyone's day so you can just relax."

Filly Films has released the hardcore trailer for LESBIAN FAMILY AFFAIR, a hugely taboo porn film starring and directed by Tanya Tate.
Die-Screaming is the Internet's hardcore porn blog. It features all sorts of porn news, reviews, interviews, Top 10 lists, and a whole bunch of other stuff. If you have a thing for pornstars, you've come to the right place, homie.
Die-Screaming doesn't have any banner ads, because those things are stupid. And because the drunken madman who runs this website has no ambition and no plans to make money from it.
While other porn blogs pretend that they are important and serve as a "voice for the industry", Die-Screaming understands it is neither important or even very well written. Reading it might give you lice.
Die-Screaming is owned, operated, and written by Dan C., a guy who's been writing about the porn industry since 2009. To date, he has never won a single award for anything and he is widely considered to be the worst porn blogger in the history of porn bloggers.
Dan C. is a sad, broken shell of a man. He's frequently drunk, isn't all that attractive, and his pee smells like hot dogs. He spends most of his time watching porn and crying himself to sleep.
If you wanna contact Dan C. or follow his sorry ass on social media, visit this horrible contact page that he built while drunk on cough syrup.

Object Description
|Agreement between Fairmont General Hospital and Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union, AFL-CIO, ca 1980s
|Ross, M. H.
|Scope note
|The M. H. Ross Papers contain information pertaining to labor, politics, social issues of the twentieth century, coal mining and its resulting lifestyle, as well as photographs and audio materials. The collection is made up of five different accessions; L2001-05, which is contained in boxes one through 104, L2002-09 in boxes 106 through 120, L2006-16 in boxes 105 and 120, L2001-01 in boxes 120-121, and L2012-20 in boxes 122-125. The campaign materials consist of items from the 1940 and 1948 political campaigns in which Ross participated. These items include campaign cards, posters, speech transcripts, news clippings, rally materials, letters to voters, and fliers. Organizing and arbitration materials covers labor organizing events from "Operation Dixie" in Georgia, the furniture workers in North Carolina, and the Mine-Mill workers in the Western United States. Organizing materials include fliers, correspondence, news articles, radio transcripts, and some related photos. Arbitration files consist of agreements, decisions, and agreement booklets. The social and political research files cover a wide time period (1930's to the late 1970's/early 1980's). The topics include mainly the Ku Klux Klan, racism, Communism, Red Scare, red baiting, United States history, and literature. These files consist mostly of news and journal articles. Ross interacted with coal miners while doing work for the United Mine Workers Association (UMWA) and while working at the Fairmont Clinic in West Virginia. Included in these related files are books, news articles, journals, UMWA reports, and coal miner oral histories conducted by Ross. Tying in to all of the activities Ross participated in during his life were his research and manuscript files. He wrote numerous newspaper and journal articles on history and labor. Later, as he worked for the UMWA and at the Fairmont Clinic, he wrote more in-depth articles about coal miners, their lifestyle, and medical problems they faced (while the Southern Labor Archives has many of Ross's coal mining and lifestyle articles, it does not have any of his medical articles). Along with these articles are the research files Ross collected to write them, which consist of notes, books, and newspaper and journal articles. In additional to his professional career, Ross was adamant about documenting his and his wife's family history in the oral history format. Of particular interest are the recordings of his interviews with his wife's family - they were workers, musicians, and singers of labor and folk songs. Finally, in this collection are a number of photographs and slides, which include images of organizing, coal mining (from the late 19th through 20th centuries), and Appalachia. Of note is a small photo album from the 1930s which contains images from the Summer School for Workers, and more labor organizing. A few audio items are available as well, such as Ross political speeches and an oral history in which Ross was interviewed by his daughter, Jane Ross Davis in 1986. All photographic and audio-visual materials are at the end of their respective series.
|Biographical or historical note
|Myron Howard "Mike" Ross was born November 9, 1919 in New York City. He dropped out of school when he was seventeen and moved to Texas, where he worked on a farm. From 1936 until 1939, Ross worked in a bakery in North Carolina. In the summer of 1938, he attended the Southern School for Workers in Asheville, North Carolina. During the fall of 1938, Ross would attend the first Southern Conference on Human Welfare in Birmingham, Alabama. He would attend this conference again in 1940 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. From 1939 to 1940, Ross worked for the United Mine Workers Non-Partisan League in North Carolina, working under John L. Lewis. He was hired as a union organizer by the United Mine Workers of America, and sent to Saltville, Virginia and Rockwood, Tennessee. In 1940, Ross ran for a seat on city council on the People's Platform in Charlotte, North Carolina. During this time, he also married Anne "Buddie" West of Kennesaw, Georgia. From 1941 until 1945, Ross served as an infantryman for the United States Army. He sustained injuries near the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944. From 1945 until 1949, Ross worked for the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, then part of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), as a union organizer. He was sent to Macon, Georgia, Savannah, Georgia and to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he worked with the United Furniture Workers Union. He began handling arbitration for the unions. In 1948, Ross ran for United States Congress on the Progressive Party ticket in North Carolina. He also served as the secretary for the North Carolina Progressive Party. Ross attended the University of North Carolina law school from 1949 to 1952. He graduated with honors but was denied the bar on the grounds of "character." From 1952 until 1955, he worked for the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers as a union organizer, first in New Mexico (potash mines) and then in Arizona (copper mines). From 1955 to 1957, Ross attended the Columbia University School of Public Health. He worked for the United Mine Workers of America Welfare and Retirement Fund from 1957 to 1958, where he represented the union in expenditure of health care for mining workers. By 1958, Ross began plans for what would become the Fairmont Clinic, a prepaid group practice in Fairmont, West Virginia, which had the mission of providing high quality medical care for miners and their families. From 1958 until 1978, Ross served as administrator of the Fairmont Clinic. As a result of this work, Ross began researching coal mining, especially coal mining lifestyle, heritage and history of coal mining and disasters. He would interview over one hundred miners (coal miners). Eventually, Ross began writing a manuscript about the history of coal mining. Working for the Rural Practice Program of the University of North Carolina from 1980 until 1987, Ross taught in the medical school. M. H. Ross died on January 31, 1987 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Bacardi Headquarters
Designated Miami Landmark: October 5, 2009
The Miami headquarters was the latest in a series of architectural projects that Pepin Bosch, then president of the Bacardi Company, had undertaken to redefine Bacardi's public image. When he took charge of the company in 1944, Bacardi rum was identified completely with Cuba.
Bosch used modern architecture to project a contemporary corporate image. For his new image, Bosch hired Mies van der Rohe to create, through architecture, the message of Bacardi. "If Mies van der Rohe's architecture could help Seagram shed all reference to the evils of whiskey and to rise a corporation, then perhaps it could also help Bacardi, Castro (who Bosch and the Company supported), and Cuba to enter the international market place"( Shulman 181). None of the international headquarters created by Mies included a bar and none had portrayed any association with Cuban or Latin culture. The future of the company needed a clean image disassociated with its past, which was accomplished through the abstract nature of modern architecture.
When Castro and the Cuban government took control of Bacardi in 1960, Bosh and Bacardi left Cuba (stopping the construction of Mies's building in Santiago). At this time, the company bought property in Miami.
Enrique Gutierrez, the architect of the Barcardi Headquarters in Miami, was a protégé of Mies va der Rohe who had served as Mies' local associate on a Bacardi office building planned for Santiago de Cuba in 1959, was able to synthesis Miesian design concepts with his Latin heritage. Choosing to clad the building with bold artwork was meant to address the city of Miami. Brennand, a Brazilian artist, and his artwork were part of Bacardi's plan to speak not of a nostalgic past but an international future, identifying Bacardi with a larger Latin America at the moment when the company let go of Cuba for good. Through the use of architecture and artwork, Bosch presented Bacardi as both a pan-Latin and global corporation that could rise above politics, sending a message that Miami's Cubans should do the same (Shulman 182).
The concrete reinforced building uses clean, corporate lines in its design but also works to make artwork part of the architectural expression by having two surfaces clad in white and blue mosaic tiles. The building uses influences from the International Style with bold structural expression by using four large pillars supporting a truss that supports the floor plates with suspended cables. The goal was to create the illusion of a large floating tower, placed within an elevated plaza to enhance this concept.
Reinforced concrete
The complex consists of three elements: the 1963 Tower, the 1974 square annex, and the plaza. The two buildings only take up about 20% of the total site and are located only a few blocks away from downtown Miami. The complex looks outward to the city to engage Miami by using bold and visible artwork as well as overt structural expression.
The structure of the eight story tower consists of four large marble piers, measuring 13" x 14" and stretching 118'-0" tall. These piers support a 81' long and 41' wide truss. The floor plates are suspended from the truss, allowing for slight movement in case of an earthquake, which is a danger in Puerto Rico, where Gutierrez practiced prior to Miami, but is not a threat in Miami. The suspended floor plates also allow for maximum floor space since the structure requires no interior columns.
To create the illusion of a floating building, Gutierrez made the ground floor of the tower recessed and transparent. The plaza was also raised to eye level from the street in order eliminate the sight of receding parallel lines to make the building appear as though it were floating.
The concrete is on the tower is clad with two huge 'azulejos', or ceramic tile murals in blue and white. The other surfaces include white-veined marble tiles and exposed concrete. Exposing the concrete is meant to show the effects of 1" x 4" tongue-and-groove planks used for the form to give vertical striped effect. The west and east facades are constructed of thermopane, smoke-tinted glass with anodized aluminum mullions.
The garage under the tower used similar specifications to a swimming pool to keep the subterranean level dry even though it sits within the high water table.
The Bacardi building was one of the first that spoke to recently arrived Cuban immigrants in Miami and aimed to help influence the identity of this community through a modern expression. Gutierrez's design references Mies', yet he transformed calm abstract surfaces into a canvas for Brennand's art. "In the transformation, the hegemony of International Style was lost, but the voice of Pepin Bosch, in part representing Miami's Cuban community, emerged" (Shulman 182).
The Bacardi Headquarters represents a unique interpretation of American modernism through a Latin American lens. Miesian in form and Latin American in style, the Bacardi Headquarters is an architectural contradiction. However, it accurately projected the image of the Bacardi Corporation in the United States, and made a, "pointed statement of identity that conveyed the corporate strength and political will in the tumultuous early years of Fidel Castro's rule" (Shulman 179).
Modernism in Miami always accounted for the temperate climate, but the Bacardi building was able to address the local culture by ironically using a style that turned its back on concept of local influence.
