YORK, Pa. – The #17 York College women's lacrosse team posted a 14-9 Capital Athletic Conference victory over the visitors from Stevenson University Tuesday evening. The Green and White's victory improves them to an overall record of 8-1 and 3-0 in CAC play while the #19 Mustangs fall to 4-3 and 1-1 in league action.
York was able to establish their offense early in the first half as the Green and White notched four goals within the first 15 minutes of the game. Kerri Nicolich provided the first of the four and was followed by Erica Mulford, Jenna Hiponia, and Kim Wayson. In combination, the strong Spartan defense was able to hold the Mustangs to a scoreless first 17 minutes.
Wayson and Hiponia quickly reacted to a Stevenson goal Erin Fischer goal with 13:12 remaining on the first half to add another two goals to the Spartan advantage that gave the Green and White a 6-1 lead.
The remainder of the first half proved even as both teams tallied two goals in the last eight minutes to bring the score to 8-4 going into intermission. The last goal of the half came from Leah Schultz who connected with the back of the net with 1:34 remaining to give York some momentum going into half.
As play resumed, the Mustangs came out of the break firing as they posted two goals within the first five minutes to cut the Spartan lead down to two at 8-6 with 25:10 left in the contest.
With the Spartans facing some early adversity in the second half, sophomore Kerri Nicolich provided York with the squad's ninth goal, this one courtesy of a Melissa Ritchey assist to give the Spartans a three-goal lead once again.
After the early surge from Stevenson, York was able to hold on to the lead throughout the remainder of the game. Schultz provided most of the firepower for the Green and White in the second half as she connected three times more times. Schultz was able to create her own shots, as two of her goals were unassisted while the other was given to her from a beautiful assist from Mulford.
Over the last 20 minutes, the Spartans remained steady and composed as they were able to secure the CAC victory.
York out-shot the Mustangs 32-21 as the Green and White's well-rounded attack resulted in 29 shots on goal.
Offensively, Schultz finished with four goals while Ritchey tallied one goal and four assists. Mulford notched five points on two goals and three helpers while Wayson and Nicolich each found the back of the net twice.
The Green and White captured a vast majority of the draw controls from today's game, mostly due to the outstanding effort of Schultz and junior defender Katie Vautier who combined for 14 of York's 19 draw controls. Schultz grabbed nine draws while Vautier, utilizing her ability to race in and snag possession, collected five. The Mustangs were held to only six draw controls the entire match.
York goalkeeper Kelsey Evans provided great defense at the net, recording eight saves, including a tremendous stop with 21:41 remaining in the second half and York holding a 9-6 advantage. She captures the victory to increase her 2012 record in the net to 7-1.
To Stevenson's credit, they were able to fight the entire game with help from Marissa Meiklejohn who tallied four goals of her own. Goalkeeper Jenny Schroeder put together a strong performance in the Mustang cage as she came up with 15 saves on the afternoon.
The Green and White return to action on Saturday, March 24, at 1:00pm as they host #12 Messiah in a non-conference tilt.

GENEVA -- The gleaming red car you can sort of make out among the horde around it is the fastest, most expensive and most powerful Ferrari ever, called LaFerrari. The price tag reportedly will be $1 million euros (about $1.3 million). And the mob scene is typical of cars unveiled here that will transact well into the six figures.
Bentley's New Flying Spur, the Rolls-Royce Wraith (a fastback … moving into Panamera territory?) and the Lamborghini Veneno elicited similar frenzy. And the stand where the McLaren P1 stood had the auto-show equivalent of a velvet rope -- a retractable barrier strip with the auto-show equivalent of bouncers.
So where's the new austere, euro-pinching European auto industry, the one that's struggling to cut capacity and bring wages to a competitive level? Nowhere to be seen, at least at the luxo-elite displays here.
Maybe it's the irresistible allure of all that glitters and costs a ton of money. Maybe it's the kind of escapism that Hollywood movies about the upper crust provided during the 1930s. Maybe it's an evanescent buzz that won't endure beyond the bubble of Geneva's expo center.
But it's clear that new cars that are far, far beyond the means of 99 percent of the crowd gathered around them exert a strong pull. It's the automotive equivalent of celebrity.

Search Hints
In general searching for a pub by pub name alone is less likely to be successful. There are very few pub names which are rare, and fewer still that are unique, and a common pub name will give too many hits to be useful.
Searching for pubs within a location is far more effective.
Location can be defined by place names, which might be cities, towns, villages or districts of large towns or cities.
Location can also be defined by postcode or the first half of a postcode.
A location based search gives you a list of pubs with the pubs closest to the centre of the location first on the list.
To find the pubs in a location that have a particular feature or facility, first find the pubs at that location and then use the filters to the right of the search results to select the pubs with the features/facilities you require.

Jordan Anderson, senior quarterback of the St. Mary's football team, piled up a lot of honors in his four year career, the most recent of which was being named to the Minnesota Vikings All-state Football Team.
Jordan Anderson, senior quarterback of the St. Mary's football team, piled up a lot of honors in his four year career, the most recent of which was being named to the Minnesota Vikings All-state Football Team.
Presented by the Minnesota Army National Guard, the 2012 team consists of 30 of the best prep players throughout the state as selected by a committee of sportswriters, broadcasters, Vikings staff and Minnesota high school football coaches. Jordan and the team were honored during halftime of the Viking-Bears game last Sunday.
Anderson's awards include twice being named Offensive Player of the Year in the Southern Minnesota Conference. He led the Knights to two Section 2A championships in 2011 and 2012, to the semi-finals of the State Football Playoffs in 2011, to the quarterfinals in 2012 and to the Southern Minnesota Conference championship and an undefeated season in 2012.
In his final season in 2012, he completed 60 percent of his passes (159/265) for 2,585 yards and 26 touchdowns. He carried the ball 132 times for 959 yards, averaging 7.3 yards per carry, for 12 touchdowns. Anderson holds the school career records for passing yards, 6,057 yards, and passing touchdowns, 58. He also holds the career rushing record, 2,034 yards, and touchdowns, 26.
I recently interviewed Jordan about his remarkable accomplishments and his plans for the future.
Q: When did you start playing quarterback?
A: As a ninth grader I played the last two varsity games of the year (2009). I mostly played safety, but got in a few snaps as the quarterback.
Q: Then you took over as the starting QB as a sophomore?
A: Right. It was kind of rough. We were all young and inexperienced. Coach Kucera wanted to install a balanced offense where we passed and ran the ball. We had a steep learning curve and I really did not get comfortable in the position until the third game of the year.
Q: Your junior year was the break out year.
A: Yes. We had a group of guys who had been playing together since grade school … good athletes. We started to click midway through the season and peaked in time for the playoffs. We lost three games in the regular season and I feel we should have won two of those. After we beat Springfield in the opening, we let down in the Sleepy Eye game and lost. That was a bit of a wakeup call.
Q: Then you beat Cathedral for the Section championship and faced Adrian in the State quarterfinals. I think you surprised a few people in that game.
A: Adrian is a good team. They are always in the playoffs. We were unknown; had never been to state before. I think they underestimated us. We were behind at the half, but came back to win it. I don't think they scored in the second half. We kept our composure and as the game wore on you could see the frustration growing in the other team. That was a nice win.
Q: This year the results at State weren't quite as good.
A: Bethlehem Academy is a very good team and made it to the finals. They just were the better team and beat us. We really couldn't get into a rhythm and when they shut down our running game we had no chance.
Q: Did you change plays much at the line of scrimmage during the year?
A: No, not a lot. I had pre-snap reads and could make adjustments. As a senior, Coach Kucera gave me a lot of freedom. We had a very good offensive scheme that we had a lot of confidence in.
Q: You ran to the sidelines on almost every offensive down to get the play from Coach Kucera. I wonder how many extra yards you ran during a game?
A: (Laughing) It took a few games into the season to get in shape. The first two games or so I'd really get tired.
Q: You and Sean Mathiowetz were quite a combination.
A: He's a really good receiver. I had confidence in him to get the ball when I put it up. We had special signals that we used so I knew what he was trying to do. Some of times the play was, "Sean goes long." Coach Kucera trusted us to make the plays.
Q: What were the highlights of your career?
A: I'd have to say winning the homecoming games. We won three in a row. If you lost those you'd hear about it.
Q: What is next for you? College?
A: I've been accepted in to the civil engineering program at South Dakota State University.
Q: No plans to play football?
A: No. I'm done. Maybe when I'm old, like 40 (laughter from a very old reporter) I'll have some regrets, but not now.

Sommer Roefaro, a public lands transportation scholar with the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Parks Technical Assistance Center, has been in Moab studying transportation connections to public lands. The center is sponsored by the Federal Transit Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation in partnership with a wide variety of other federal agencies. The scholar program is also available to many local and state governments.
As part of her work in Moab, Roefaro has been working with members of the Moab city staff, including Moab City Community Development Director David Olsen and Moab Planning Director Jeff Reinhart, to complete the lengthy application for bicycle friendly community status. The Moab City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to give Roefaro permission to submit the application on behalf of the city.
Roefaro said bicycle friendly communities "welcome cyclists by providing safe accommodations and encouraging people to bike for transportation and recreation." She said the program also helps cities focus investments on bike programs, as well as creating more opportunities for cycling.
Roefaro said that about half of the communities that apply for the designation actually receive it. She said that there are currently more than 250 communities in the country that have received the designation, including Durango, Park City, and Salt Lake City. A wide range of cities are included on the list, with populations ranging from 1,051 people in University Heights, Iowa, to more than 8 million in New York City.
"Bicycle friendly communities are always on the short list of best places to live and work," Roefaro said during the Feb. 12 council meeting. The designation also shows the community's commitment to bicycling as a way to help decrease problems like traffic congestion and obesity, she said.
"It's a good way to ride out the recession," she said, regarding the money that can be saved by riding a bicycle instead of driving.
To be named a bicycle friendly community, cities and towns are judged by several categories that the League of American Bicyclists refers to as the "five E's" – engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation and planning. To be considered for an award "a community must demonstrate achievements in each of the five categories," according to the league's website.
Olsen said the hope is to submit the application on behalf of both Moab and Grand County.
"Trail Mix and [Moab Trails Alliance], the other organizations that really push trails, we felt that a county-wide application would earn more points," Olsen said. "It's better if we both work together on it."
Council member Kyle Bailey praised the concept.
"I think it would be a great thing," he said, after making the motion to apply for the status. "I feel we already are [a bicycle friendly community], so let's go for it."
Before submitting the application, Roefaro will present the information to the Grand County Council, which will also be asked to consider the proposal.

Electoral rolls provide useful information about your ancestors' residence and eligibility to vote. New South Wales electoral rolls are available from 1842 to 2009, although rolls were not updated every year, and some of the early ones have been lost.
Each listing includes name, address, and occupation (up to 1984). It is possible to see which family members were living in the same address, and so can be used instead of the censuses available in other countries to determine whereabouts and household composition.
If you do know that your ancestor moved from one place to another electoral rolls can give you an idea of when he or she moved. A search of the early rolls, when there was a property requirement, can tell you whether your ancestor was a freeholder or leaseholder, or just a resident.
Australian electoral rolls were published in books for distribution. Most of these have been microfilmed (in the 1800s) or on microfiche (1901 onwards) and are available in many libraries. Most libraries do not have all years, or all electorates. From 1990 onwards the microfiche are indexed across Australia.
Who had the vote?
The qualifications to vote in New South Wales elections has changed over time. This means that your ancestor may not have been entitled to vote in the period in which you are searching for him or her. Here is a brief timeline:
1843 Of the 36 members of the Legislative Council 24 were now elected by the colonists, provided they owned freehold property valued at £200 or more, or they leased property at £20 or more.
1851 Property value required reduced to £100 freehold or £10 leasehold.
1856 Responsible government introduced, with a Lower House elected by colonists. Occupiers of houses worth at least £10 per year included.
1858 All adult males could vote if they'd lived in the electorate for 6 months or had been naturalised and lived in the Colony for two years, except for paupers, prisoners, police and the armed forces. A man could vote in all the electorates in which he held property.
1893 The property and length of residence requirements were abolished, so that itinerant workers could vote.
1902 Following the federation of all the Colonies into the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901 women were given the vote in Commonwealth and New South Wales elections.
1925 First election in which voting was compulsory.
1934 The Legislative Council was replaced by a body that was indirectly elected by the Lower House.
1974 Voting age lowered to 18 years.
1978 Upper House elected along with Lower House in general elections.
Where can I find my ancestor?
Until 1990 Australian electoral rolls were published by division, so you need to know where the person is living to be able to find them. They are published on microfiche for the 1900s and early 2000s, the last one being 2009.
To find the electoral division you will need the atlas, which has maps of each capital city and each state that show the boundaries as they changed from 1902-
Very few New South Wales rolls have been digitised and indexed, although this situation is slowly changing:
Ancestry have digitised some rolls for New South Wales, for 1930, 1931-32, 1933, 1934-35, 1936-37, 1943, 1949, and 1953-54. Those in bold text have been indexed.
Archive CD Books Australia, a subsidiary of Gould Genealogy, has started to scan and index New South Wales electoral rolls and publish them on CD. So far they have published the rolls for 1903 and 1913, with many others to follow. Check your library to see if they have the CDs.

Tom SmithGuest
I have an idea for a fun English class for continuing education people to study humorous texts taken from Monty Python and others, and also to study the rich humor of original blues music texts ("...could a matchbox hold my clothes?"!!!).
But I know I am looking at serious copyright infringement problems, even though we're not putting this stuff on stage.
Does anybody have an idea as to just how risky such a proposition is, or how I might go about gaining permission to use the texts (especially the Monty Python)?
Tom SMITH
This site has many of the scripts without any copyright details: http://www.intriguing.com/mp Try contacting them and checking.
I have the texts, but that site is very interesting. If nothing else, perhapse I can contact them officially to see if I can gain permission.
I only suggested it because they were publishing openly without any copyright.
I see! Yes, interesting point. Interesting that Python hasn't prosecuted, even if I can't imagine what harm that site is doing (au contraire!)
My situation is rather different in that I operate in a non-glamourours, but none the less competitive environment, as this class is a private (and therefore commercial) operation, offered to a paying public. Any of my competitors woudl be only too happy to denounce me to the authorities if they thought it would get me in trouble.
Paranoid? Maybe. But you'd be surprized how sleazy people are, and it's not worth all that work just to find yourself hassled and fined.
I'd email them to check.

OAKLAND – If there's one thing that separates the Oakland A's and the Orioles, the American League's two upstarts, it's that the A's young pitching has been a tick better this season.
On Saturday, in Oakland's 5-2 victory, A's 23-year-old right-hander Jarrod Parker was a whole lot better than 24-year-old O's lefty Zach Britton, who gave up five runs and walked four in just four innings.
"It's not as good as [Britton] is capable of or we need him to be. So we'll move on," said Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "I think [the A's] are like second in the league in ERA. We knew coming in here runs were going to be at a premium."
The disparity in starting pitching was the difference in the Orioles' second consecutive loss to the A's – the first time the Orioles have dropped back-to-back games since Aug. 16-17. The Orioles have now lost 16 of their last 18 in Oakland and have not won a season series against the A's since 1998.
Paired with a New York Yankees' victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday afternoon, the Orioles have dropped back to second place in the American League East, one game behind the Yankees.
The Orioles (81-64) still maintain their grasp of the second wild-card spot, but they have fallen three games behind the A's (84-61) for the top spot. With the win, Oakland clinches the season series against the Orioles (5-3) – which would give the A's home-field advantage if the clubs tie for the wild-card spots.
"We're playing good baseball, we've just got to do what got us here. No one in this clubhouse is down. Last two days, we've been beat," said Adam Jones, who had two hits but a costly baserunning error. "I don't think we've beaten ourselves. We haven't really made mistakes, it's just timely hitting. We've got guys on base, just haven't scored more runs than them over the first two games."
On Saturday night, it all fell apart for Britton and the Orioles in a 10-batter, 38-pitch third inning in which Britton (5-3) allowed five runs on four hits, two walks and a hit batter.
Stephen Drew led off the inning with a solo homer, his fourth of the season and second with the A's. Britton then walked Coco Crisp and hit Jonny Gomes before Josh Reddick and Yoenis Cespedes followed with RBI singles. The big blow came off the bat of Chris Carter, a double down the right-field line that scored Reddick and a sprinting Cespedes from first.
Britton has now allowed 10 earned runs and nine walks in his last two games, spanning 7 1/3 innings, after making four straight quality starts. He said he's been battling with a mechanical flaw that he just can't seem to adjust while pitching in the last two games, leading to a lack of command.
"It's an easy recipe for success, don't walk guys and I have success. Right now, it's just a small adjustment with my front side," Britton said. "It's funny, it's completely obvious because [Nick] Markakis brought it up to me in the dugout. Like, 'Hey you are flying open a little bit [with the lead shoulder].' And it's such an easy fix, but when you are out there in a situation you tend to over-think it. These outings, the last two, haven't been very good and have put us in a hole."
Steve Johnson entered in relief in the fifth and threw three scoreless innings to keep the game close. The rookie from Kingsville hasn't allowed a run in last 8 1/3 innings (four games), but he walked three Saturday.
"I like that I'm not giving up any runs. But I haven't been sharp the last two times out," Johnson said. "My breaking stuff really isn't where I want it to be. So I've got some stuff to work on, but I've been fortunate to get out of some jams."
The Orioles, who out-hit the A's 8-5, attempted to mount a rally against Parker in the top of the fourth. Jones singled and Chris Davis followed with a double down the left-field line. Jones inexplicably slowed on his way to third before heading home.
"I did slow down the first couple steps right before third base. That's something I never do. I score on the balls down the line, I score on most doubles," Jones said. "It's still something I'm still frustrated about it right now, because having a chance at the score 5-3 with no outs, man on second base, it changed the dynamics of the game … Honestly, there is no reason why, no excuse why. It's one of those things you can't explain, it just happens on the field.
Jones was thrown out at the plate on a perfect relay from Cespedes to Drew to catcher Derek Norris. It was one of several tremendous defensive plays by the A's, including a couple by Drew and a highlight-reel snag of a foul pop by third baseman Jason Donaldson while falling onto the rolled-up tarp near the home dugout.
Parker (11-8) did the rest, scattering seven hits and one walk while striking out five and allowing just two runs in seven innings. He yielded a Nate McLouth homer and an RBI double by Mark Reynolds, but little else. After the Jones play, Parker retired 11 of 13. He has given up three runs or fewer in five of his past six starts.
The Orioles had a bit of a scare in the fourth when athletic trainer Richie Bancells and Showalter came out to the plate because Reynolds was dealing with a physical issue after a swing.
"The previous at-bat he took a hard swing with his biceps in his left arm, it had just gone numb on him," Showalter said. "It came back for him. We will see how he is tomorrow."
After the game, Reynolds, one of the club's toughest players, refused to acknowledge the injury, joking that Bancells and Showalter made the visit because "they were just asking me if I was seeing the ball OK."
When told that cameras caught him rubbing his left arm, Reynolds joked, "I just massage myself every now and then. It makes me feel better."
Reynolds expects to be in the lineup Sunday, when the Orioles face one of their most crucial games of the season. They don't want to be swept and fall too far behind the A's or the Yankees or allow some other potential wild-card contenders to close in.
"It's important. You have that extra wild card, it does allow that one-game playoff, and there are five or six teams in that boat and we want to keep ourselves in there," Jones said. "We just have to come back tomorrow with the same plan and get this win.
"It's not a must win, but it is a must win."

TEMECULA — A Southern California teacher's aide has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge after her 12-year-old daughter was found wandering the streets naked and eating garbage.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise (http://bit.ly/14CRdCM ) says Tracy Betts of Murrieta entered a plea on July 8 to disturbing the peace. A child endangerment charge was dismissed. Betts was sentenced to 10 days of work release and 120 days of community service.
The girl has been returned to her home.
Betts was arrested in February 2012 after the girl was seen wandering a Temecula neighborhood.
Betts said the girl has obsessive compulsive disorder and hoards food. Betts told authorities she'd been unable to obtain child care and left the girl in her underwear in an unlocked car while she worked.
The girl then stripped and wandered off.

In Detroit: 3-Year-Old Girl Called A Hoe & Then Shot!
"He directly pointed the gun at the vehicle and shot it up", says Latina Edwards whose 3-year-old daughter was hit when a neighbor opened fire on them with a shotgun. Edwards says it all began when the man, in his 20s, began calling her daughter, Amyria Parham, and another young girl offensive names. "I told him don't talk to my daughter no more because he was calling her and her friend 'hos'. My daughter is 3 years old. She don't know what a ho is", said Edwards outside Children's Hospital in Detroit where her daughter is recovering. When tensions escalated, Edwards says she tried to get away by jumping into a friend's van in hopes of driving away, but by then she says the man had retrieved a shotgun from one of his friends and he opened fire on the van. "I'm her only protection", said Edwards. "I tried to get away but he shot up the vehicle that we was in and that's how she got shot". Detroit Police are still searching for the shooter."- Detroit News

Old Spice Man Is Horsing Around On Social Media
from the i'm-on-a-horse dept
The Old Spice man is back, and once again, showing that he truly gets how to engage with his audience. Starting Monday, he began posting video responses to various Twitter, Facebook, and other social media commentary, oftentimes resulting in hilarity. Most of the over one hundred responses have been posted within a few hours of a tweet or comment, which is a blistering pace for an ad campaign with a traditional CPG company. My favorites are his response to Alyssa Milano and the one where Twitter user jsbeals asks Old Spice man to propose to his girlfriend for him:
Ad agency Wieden + Kennedy hit it out of the park again with this ad -- they were able to craft an infectiously viral ad campaign, while at the same time incorporating the brand as a key part of the message. After all, he's not "I'm on a horse" man, he's the Old Spice man. That said, while such a campaign may definitely drive awareness, awareness may not necessarily result in sales: according to SymphonyIRI, sales of Old Spice Red Zone (the product featured in the ad) actually dropped 7 percent.
Then again, surely jsbeals will be buying a few cases of Red Zone in appreciation of the help from Old Spice man (his girlfriend accepted the proposal).

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Justice Department announced that Plains All American Pipeline and several of its operating subsidiaries have agreed to spend approximately $41 million to upgrade 10,420 miles of crude oil pipeline operated in the United States.
The settlement resolves Plains' Clean Water Act violations for 10 crude oil spills in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Kansas, and requires the company to pay a $3.25 million civil penalty.
"In the last year alone, transportation pipelines released more than two million gallons of oil into the environment, posing a serious threat to human health and natural habitats," said Cynthia Giles, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. "These spills ─ and the recent pipeline spill in the Kalamazoo River ─ remind us that we must be diligent in our enforcement efforts and work to ensure that companies are meeting their environmental obligations."
Between June 2004 and September 2007, more than 273,000 gallons of crude oil were discharged from various pipelines and one tank owned and operated by Plains, some of which entered navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. The spills ranged in size from 2.5 barrels to 4,500 barrels and most were caused by pipeline corrosion.
As part of the agreement, Plains, based in Houston, must take steps to:
In addition, Plains must ensure that all breakout tanks used to replace or substitute existing tanks that relieve pipeline surges have adequate capacity to contain such surges and are properly located within secondary containment.
The $3.25 million penalty will be deposited in the federal Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. The funds will be used to finance federal response activities and provide compensation for damages sustained from future discharges or threatened discharges of oil into water or adjoining shorelines. Oil spills are known to cause both immediate and long-term harm to human health and ecosystems, including the suffocation of wildlife and the contamination of nesting habitats
According to recent pipeline spill reports, in the last year, more than 50,000 barrels (2.1 million gallons) of oil spilled from transportation pipelines across the nation.
The consent decree, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, is subject to a 30-day public comment period and approval by the federal court.

Chalet Les Arolles Reviews
Lovely chalet - nicely decorated and clean, with each room having an en-suite. Good living room area and dinning area for everyone. Sauna and table-tennis table downstairs. Although on the edge of the resort and a 15-20min walk to the centre of town, the chalet is on piste. As it was Easter when we were there, this blue run was closed, so you couldn't ski down to the door of the chalet, but in the morning you could ski from the door down to a very nearby lift, which took you up to green run to ski across to the main area. There's also a run that ends about 50m from the chalet, so just a 2min walk back. Food was great - good quality and unlimited wine. Only negative (not really a problem if everyone's nice!) is that the walls are made of wood, so you can hear absolutely everything in other rooms. It sounds like they're in the same room as you!

Tight-knit Rays made most of opportunities in 2013
ST. PETERSBURG -- Aside from not going deep into the playoffs, the Rays enjoyed another successful season in 2013.
The team advanced to the postseason for the fourth time in its history -- all in the last six years. In addition, claiming 92 wins gave the Rays six consecutive winning seasons and their fifth season with 90-plus wins in the last six years. They fell short in October, dropping the American League Division Series to the eventual-champion Red Sox, three games to one.
ST. PETERSBURG -- Aside from not going deep into the playoffs, the Rays enjoyed another successful season in 2013.
The team advanced to the postseason for the fourth time in its history -- all in the last six years. In addition, claiming 92 wins gave the Rays six consecutive winning seasons and their fifth season with 90-plus wins in the last six years. They fell short in October, dropping the American League Division Series to the eventual-champion Red Sox, three games to one.
"Winning 90-plus games is a pretty good year," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Regardless of what anyone else might want to think, you're always going to talk about the different levels of success. And what is ultimate success? Probably winning the World Series. ... Retrospectively, we didn't get where we wanted to get, but I couldn't have been more proud or pleased with our group."
The Rays left Port Charlotte, Fla., in April with the look of a team ready to scrap for runs, play stellar defense and dominate with their pitching. Some of that forecast came to fruition, while other parts only hinted at what might yet come in the future.
With a talented roster and the same excellent leadership, there is hope that the Rays will continue the incredible roll they have enjoyed since the 2008 season. Here is one final look back at the highs and lows of 2013, recapped by the top five storylines of the calendar year:
5. Defense rises to the occasion
Tampa Bay was a far superior defensive club in 2013 compared to the '12 model, making 55 fewer errors to finish with the second-best fielding mark in the Major Leagues. The final tally showed the Rays having the largest improvement in the field since the 1964 Washington Senators. That improvement could be attributed largely to a revamped infield along with the contributions by Evan Longoria and Ben Zobrist at third base and second base, respectively.
James Loney took over at first base and was every bit as good defensively as advertised, and Yunel Escobar joined the team, giving the Rays their best shortstop play since Jason Bartlett.
4. A healthy Evan Longoria
Longoria only played in 74 games in 2012 due to a partially torn left hamstring. The Rays posted a 47-27 record in those games and went 43-45 when he did not play. Longoria had his hamstring surgically repaired in the offseason, and he played in 160 games in 2013. Longoria is a tough out, who can hit for power and is unquestionably the Rays' best offensive player. On top of that, Longoria is a team leader, plays Gold Glove-caliber defense and is a winner. Maddon's job became significantly easier by being able to pencil in Longoria's name on the lineup card anytime he wanted during the 2013 season.
While the team effectively scrapped for runs using an attack that Maddon referred to as "swarming" -- and struck out far less than in recent years, the group also produced a surprising amount of power. Having Longoria return to the everyday lineup helped a lot, but he was joined by Wil Myers, Matt Joyce, Loney, Kelly Johnson and Zobrist in helping the Rays in the power department.
3. Overcoming pitching injuries
Matt Moore got off to a fast start, survived a mild slump, and rediscovered the magic to post the best first half, numbers-wise, of any of the team's starters. In the second half he missed 31 games due to left elbow soreness, but managed to finish at 17-4 with a 3.29 ERA in 27 starts.
Meanwhile, staff ace David Price got off to a slow start and eventually went on the disabled list with a strained left triceps. After being gone for a prolonged period, Price, who is normally a 200-inning horse, returned for the final three months. Over that span, he led the Major Leagues in innings (131 2/3) and fewest pitches per inning (13.8), and he ranked fourth among AL pitchers in ERA (2.53) and tied for fourth with nine wins. He topped off his regular season by pitching the Rays into the playoffs with a complete-game 5-2 win over the Rangers in the Game 163 tiebreaker.
Like Moore and Price, Alex Cobb also missed a significant period of time due to injury as he got struck on the side of the head by a line drive. He made a successful return and was the Rays' toughest pitcher down the stretch.
Because of the injuries, the Rays used 10 starters in 2013, their most since 2006. Nevertheless, they managed to have six pitchers with 20 or more starts. In the last 50 years, the only other AL team to make that claim was the 2001 Devil Rays.
The overall excellence of the pitching was reflected in the fact that for the fourth consecutive year the Rays had the lowest opponents' batting average in the AL.
2. Myers and Archer arrive
Myers joined the team in mid-June, and the complexion of the offense changed immediately. The rookie slugger added power to the lineup and some much-needed protection for Longoria. Given the amount of hype surrounding the heralded youngster, bringing him up could have backfired had he not performed and had he not fit in inside the clubhouse. But Myers performed well enough to win the American League Rookie of the Year Award, and he proved to be a hit inside the clubhouse as well.
"He hits the ball as far as anybody in baseball right now," Maddon said. "To all fields, he hits for average, too. [He's a] good baserunner, and he runs well -- better than I thought, too. Defensively, we've got to help him a little bit. I thought he showed signs of being at least a solid outfielder. I think with technique, he'll develop. We'll work with him in Spring Training.
"Makeup wise, he definitely has a big league makeup. I talked a lot about him not being overwhelmed. ... This guy is going to be a big part of our future."
In addition to Myers' arrival, they also enjoyed Chris Archer's.
Everybody knew Archer had above-average stuff, but the question was whether he would find the command that would make him special. The 25-year-old right-hander arrived to the team at the first of June looking like he would continue to wear his old tag. Then the command clicked, and he took off, winning seven consecutive starts from June 23-July 27. Included in some of the gems he pitched were shutouts at New York against the Yankees and at Tropicana Field against the Astros. Archer also received strong consideration for the AL Rookie of the Year Award.
1. Team chemistry
After posting a 55-41 mark in the first half, the Rays survived a 4-13 stretch from Aug. 25-Sept. 11 to finish at 37-30 in the second half. An 18-inning victory over the Orioles on Sept. 20 typified the way the Rays finished. The club followed that memorable game with a win the next day, and, eventually finished off a four-game sweep of the O's when Loney hit a pinch-hit, walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth. That sweep seemingly crystallized the team before the final stretch that resulted in a one-game playoff against the Rangers to end the season, which the Rays won in Arlington.
"When we were able to pull that out after 18 innings, it was like, 'Boy,'" Zobrist said. "And to get a win on Saturday after [the 18-inning game], it was like, 'Wow, this is actually working out, coming a little bit easier.' It just feels like a lot of the year, we'd get those moments and the next day let down."
Longoria noted that he believed the 2013 team was the "tightest-knit group from top to bottom that we've had."
"I thought we had great team chemistry," Longoria said. "It might not have been the greatest group of players we've had here as far as talent goes. But I thought the enthusiasm and the way that we went about our business carried us to where we got."

A Record Year in Research Funding
NU President James B. Milliken said the increase is another clear indication of the University's significant momentum. "Faculty across the University are engaged in research in areas that are important to Nebraska – water, energy, transportation, early childhood education, and cancer, to name a few." Milliken said. "The success of our research enterprise is attracting excellent faculty, significant private support and interest from the private sector." In annual rankings published by the National Science Foundation, NU ranks among the top 35 public universities in research and development spending.
The record growth of UNL's research enterprise "is a testament to the quality of our faculty and the leadership of Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development Prem Paul," UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman said, adding that the increased funding helps drive momentum of the University toward better serving Nebraskans.
UNMC Vice Chancellor for Research Tom Rosenquist said that rising above the $100 million mark in extramural support is a major benchmark for UNMC.
"UNMC research is like a rocket rising above 100,000 feet; now we have momentum and we've risen above the major forces holding us back. Now we can accelerate more rapidly to the next benchmark, $200 million," Dr. Rosenquist said. "The developing initiative in clinical and translational research will be the booster that gets us there."
Durham Research Center and Durham Research Center II were catalysts in the funding growth, UNMC Chancellor Harold Maurer said of the towers which hold nearly 400 research products at UNMC.
"The new twin research towers helped make all of this happen," Maurer said. "The buildings allowed us to recruit top researchers from around the country."
Funding highlights at UNL and UNMC this year include:
- $17.2 million NIH grant, the largest in Nebraska history, to Dr. James Turpen at UNMC, to support the INBRE program aimed at producing more scientists in the state.
- $11.1 million NIH grant to Dr. Ken Bayles, UNMC, to research the United States' most dangerous bacterial pathogens.
- $10.6 million COBRE grant from the National Center for Research Resources to Dr. Alexander Kabanov, UNMC, to research nanomedicine, drug delivery, therapeutics and diagnostics.
- $9.3 million from the National Science Foundation to UNL for NebraskaMATH, a statewide program to improve mathematics achievement for students.
- $9.1 million National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute program grant renewal to Dr. Irving H. Zucker, UNMC, to allow a team of scientists to continue groundbreaking heart failure research.
- $8.7 million from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Children's Bureau to establish the Midwest Child Welfare Technical Assistance Implementation Center.
- $8.1 million from the National Science Foundation for continued support of UNL's Materials Research Science and Engineering Center and its nanotechnology research.

Zurich's third-quarter net profit dropped 62 percent to $477 million, trailing an average estimate of $756 million in a Reuters poll of analysts.
A weak investment result also weighed on the bottom line. The reassessment of loss reserves in Germany reduced third-quarter profit after tax by $400 million, Zurich said.
Pierre Wauthier, CFO of Zurich Insurance Group, told CNBC that the results had to be put into context: "The miss was relative to analysts' expectation on the net income and that was mainly due to the fact that we have fairly few realized capital gains in the quarter, compared to last year where we had strong capital gains, so therefore we got a reduction," he told CNBC Europe's "Squawk Box" on Thursday.
"If you look at the underlying performance it continues to be strong with a further improvement in our underlying loss ratio...If you look at our business operating profit at 3.2 billion euros it's in line with expectations," Wauthier added.
"We also increased shareholders equity by 2 billion euros to 34 billion euros which I believe is also in line with expectations."
Zurich doesn't expects further big hits like that suffered by its German general insurance business in the third quarter, contributing to a fall in the company's net profit for the period, Wauthier said.
"Zurich is confident that there are no similar issues of significance elsewhere in general insurance," he said.
A review showed Zurich's German arm had not set aside enough money aside to cover claims from long-expired policies, the firm said last month, causing it to suffer a $550 million pretax hit to profit for the third quarter.
Insurance claims, such as cases involving long-term illness or medical negligence, are sometimes not made for years after a policy has expired. Zurich had to set more money aside to cover these so-called "long tail" liabilities.
Wauthier attempted to reassure investors that the company had enough reserves.
"First of all, if you look at the overall reserves, there is 57 billion and if you look at the development over the year so far the reserve development has been positive despite what has happened in Germany."
"We feel that Germany is an isolated case as Germany was really an unique convergence of events."
General insurance is Zurich's biggest area of business. In that segment its combined ratio - a measure of underwriting profitability - worsened to 102.8 percent in the third quarter.
That means Zurich's general insurance underwriting business was not profitable during the period.

The culture budget has increased slightly since 2013, although it is targeted at additional programmes such as development of young talent, innovation and cooperation.
Private sources are matching government funding of 25 million euro to provide music education in primary schools up to 2020.
Space for Culture (June 2015) contains the Minister's principles for cultural policy and the state supported infrastructure in the period 2017-2020.
Netherlands/ 4. Current issues in cultural policy development and debate
4.1 Main cultural policy issues and priorities
Culture Moves
In 2013, the social-democratic Minister of Culture, Jet Bussemaker, presented a vision letter, Cultuur beweegt; de betekenis van cultuur in een veranderende samenleving [Culture moves: the meaning of culture in a changing society], the policy memorandum for the period 2013-2016 in which she reveals her vision of culture in an evolving world. The priority areas for the period 2013-2016 are: cultural education, talent development, creative industries, digitalisation and social dialogue.
The minister stresses the importance of arts and culture for society and their added value for society and the economy. Choosing 'Culture moves' as a motto, she argues that the arts have the power to invigorate both individuals and society as a whole. In her policy document, she addresses the future of culture, in which what she calls 21st-century skills will help to fulfill the needs of our evolving society.
Essential to the recent cultural policy approach is a balance between the intrinsic value of culture and the instrumental benefits for social and economic processes. Dynamic developments in society presuppose the powerful contribution of museums, music, theatre and other cultural domains. To support this dynamism, Bussemaker selects focus points and instruments to empower artists, as well as audiences, in order to create an effective interface between culture and society. She stresses the importance of individual developments, creativity and cultural education. Artistic excellence, the creative industries and digitisation are prioritised.
Cultural education. The government aims to introduce children and young people to culture in the course of their formal education, and to give them the opportunity to develop their talents in the area, as creators or consumers, on a professional or amateur basis. The main policy concerns in this regard are the quality of cultural education, the expertise of teachers, and cooperation between schools and cultural organisations and amateur arts. In a policy document about music education, the minister described her plans for music education for all children in the age from 4 to 12. An important instrument for cultural education is the Culture Card [Cultuurkaart]. With this pass, as secondary school students receive a discount on cultural activities (see chapter 8.2.2). Furthermore, Bussemaker has presented a document concerning museum policy, Museumbrief: samen werken, samen sterker, in which she accentuates the importance of cooperation between museums and of strengthening their educational mission, plus the need to reach a wider audience (see chapter 4.2.2).
The programme "Cultural education with quality 2013-2016", carried out by the Fund for Cultural Participation, will be continued in the period 2017-2020. The aim is to strengthen the quality of cultural education in primary education by:
- sustaining the quality of cultural education through collaboration between primary education and the cultural field;
- strengthening cultural education in schools who participated in the scheme in 2013-2016; and
- increasing the number of participating schools.
The Ministry will again invest EUR 10 million through the fund annually. Municipalities and provinces will match this amount (see chapter 8.3).
Artistic excellence. In the policy documents Ruimte voor talent in het cultuurbeleid (2014) [Room for talent] en Uitwerking visie op talentontwikkeling [Vision on talent development] the minister sets out her plans for talent development.
Space for Culture
In June 2015 Minister Bussemaker presented her letter Ruimte voor Cultuur[Space for Culture, 2015]. Itcontains the principles for cultural policy in the period 2017-2020 and for the national basic infrastructure, meaning the cultural institutions which receive state funding. After the cuts in the cultural sector, instigated by Secretary of State Halbe Zijlstra (Liberals), Bussemaker's budget is slightly increasing. Over EUR 18 million will be made available to artists and cultural institutions for the development of young talents, innovation and cooperation. The national basic infrastructure will be expanded by a symphony orchestra for jazz to pop; for this measure EUR 3 million per year will be available. Another EUR 5.5 million will be available for national museums, partly in order to keep the Tropenmuseum open. Museums receive in 2017-20 EUR 1 million extra for mutual collaboration and or with other institutions. The public cultural funds will again have the possibility to subsidise journals, as they are important for debate and reflection, and for developing the talent of young writers. For the youth companies in the national basic infrastructure and the Performing Arts Fund [Fonds Podiumkunsten] EUR 0.8 million extra will be available for dance, music, theatre and film.
Creative industry
In a letter to the House of Representatives, November 2015, Minister Bussemaker and Minister Kamp (Economic Affairs) outline the developments that the creative sector has undergone in recent years and describe how they want to work together with entrepreneurs, institutions, and other authorities to further strengthen the creative industry. A professional creative industry focuses on permanent learning, seizes opportunities abroad, and invests in public-private collaborations in the field of research. Therefore the government supports this.
Cultural policy 2017-2020
In March 2016 a policy letter on pop music was published Een investering in popmuziek [ An investment in pop music]'in which the minister stimulates pop talents to look beyond national borders.
In September 2016, Minister Bussemaker published Besluiten culturele basisinfrastructuur periode 2017-2020]. In this document she explains how she divides subsidies among the institutions in the national basic infrastructure in 2017-2020. Bussemaker focuses on stability in the sector. With an additional investment of over EUR 18 million she gives artists and cultural institutions more room for innovation, cooperation and development of young talents. She announces an additional investment of EUR 10 million. Priority areas are (again) talent, reaching a diverse audience and regional distribution. Quality is an important criterion. Bussemaker wants to encourage collaboration within and outside the cultural sector. The cultural funds are allowed to provide funding for four years instead of two years.Cultural institutions will be judged on quality, social values, education and participation. The Minister argues that all Dutch people should be able to enjoy a rich and varied cultural offer and cultural education is essential for young people to develop their creativity and shape their identity.
In total, 88 cultural institutions and 6 funds receive an amount of EUR 379.91 million per year. EUR 10 million extra is spend in the basic infrastructure, including the six cultural funds. This amount mainly benefits talent, cultural education and public outreach, especially in the region (see chapter 3.2 and chapter 4.1).

Took out a mountain of books from the library this afternoon, in anticipation of National Translation Month.
Translating the Uncanny Valley
Terrific interview between Mark Polizzotti and Mark Ford about (re)translating Raymond Roussel's Impressions of Africa and New Impressions of Africa at Bomb Magazine (the page says available online in full for a limited time, so you may want to check it soon):
Polizzotti: As I go groping along the same linguistic tether that Roussel grappled with, inevitably that tether will bear some of my fingerprints. Your version of New Impressions differs from those of Koch and Monk. You can defend it on the basis of needing to hew particularly closely to a deliberate meaning, but there's also a measure of your own personality even in that choice, just as there are traces of the personalities of Koch and Monk in theirs. It's what makes translations worth reading, and also what makes it desirable to retranslate periodically.
. . .
Ford: I guess, while translating New Impressions, I felt rather like one of the servants in the Roussel ménage in his mansion at Neuilly, toiling away to fulfill the master's bizarre but inflexible instructions. One of Roussel's cooks, André Guillot, left an account of working at 25 boulevard Richard-Wallace in which he remembers how none of the vegetables served could reveal the slightest trace of serration—if they did, they were sent back to the kitchen . . .

After a long arduous day on the trail, my partner Jon and I were in our tent contemplating ways to make our packs lighter. I joked to Jon that we should cut all the tags off our gear to save weight. Jon didn't catch my sarcasm and approved the idea because he read about this technique from a couple of backpacking blogs. However, he never found an exact weight savings, but hypothesized he could shave an ounce off his pack weight. I bet $20 against him. Once back in town, since ski season was right around the corner we used Jon's ski touring gear as the basis of the experiment.
The Test
Ski touring in the winter time means lots of layers and heavy packs. With each additional layer come more and more tags. We gathered Jon's gear and started cutting off every flappy tag in sight, attempting not to accidentally cut or destroy any of the gear. Because of this, we decided not to cut all the tags that were sown flat onto the garments. After cutting the first tag, Jon hurried to weigh it, but was disheartened when the scale couldn't make a reading because it was too light. Still determined to win the bet, he continued cutting tags for approximately ten minutes. When the scissors stopped clipping, he had collected 50 tags from 19 separate pieces of gear totaling 0.5 oz (14.1 g). For comparison a sandwich bag weighs 0.09 oz (2.4 g), a snack sized Snicker bar is 0.62 (17.5 g), and a single AA battery is 0.85 oz (24 g). By cutting 0.5 oz from the pack, a hiker that weighs 155 lb carrying a pack weighing 35 lb over a distance of 1,000 miles with no elevation gain/loss, will save approximately 367 kilocalories (Ze), or about four and a half snack sized Snickers.
Jon was disappointed he didn't save an ounce like he had hoped, but he took comfort in having no more scratchy tags against his skin. He also didn't have to worry about the large and obnoxious tag on his sleeping bag anymore. Jon's joy was short-lived when he realized he didn't know how to wash and care for his gear without the instructions provided on the tags. The disappointment continued when he was trying to dry out his gear after washing it, as he realized many of the tags doubled as hanging points. These were only minor setbacks compared to not being able to differentiate his gear because he labeled his initials and numbered different pairs of identical underwear on the tags.
Given the minimal weight and caloric savings, we feel there are more effective ways to save half an ounce, unless you are attempting to go super ultra-light (less than a 5 lb pack weight). Jon admitted reluctantly, "I would rather have one less snack sized Snickers, than have trouble rotating my underwear in the field because I cut off my numbering system." With that being said, Jon wishes he would have never cut off any tags. Since the tags are already gone, Jon can eat away his sorrows with one extra snack sized Snickers while I enjoy my new running gloves.

Domestic mill use was projected down 3.4 percent from last month, indicating both deeper cuts in retail use and more permanent reductions in the spinning industry than previously anticipated. Exports projections remain at nine million bales, as the pressure of larger U.S. exportable supplies is likely to be met with competition from larger world supplies. Projected ending stocks were raised 11 percent to 7.3 million bales, the largest since 1985/86.
Global 2001/02 estimated cotton production was raised 1.2 percent due to higher area and generally favorable growing conditions across the northern hemisphere. Beginning stocks were raised marginally and consumption was reduced slightly, resulting in ending stocks of 40 million bales, up 4 percent from last month and 2.1 million bales above the beginning level.
For 2000/01, a slight decrease in domestic mill use from last month was offset by a slight increase in exports.
U.S. rice production in 2001/02 is projected at 194 million hundredweight, up 4 percent from last month and an increase of about 1.5 percent from 2000/01. The numbers are based on new planted acres figures. Long-grain rice production is projected at 149 million hundredweight, up 10 percent from last month and an increase of 16 percent from 2000/01.
Combined medium- and short-grain rice production is projected at 45 million hundredweight, down 11 percent from last month and a decrease of 28 percent from 2000/01.
Domestic and residual use is projected at 123.9 million cwt, up slightly from last month and up 2 percent from 2001/02. Rice exports are projected at 81 million cwt, up 7 percent from last month, but down 2 percent from 2000/01.
Milled rice exports in 2001/02 are projected at 56 million cwt, up 10 percent from last month, but down 3 percent from 2000/01. Ending stocks in 2001/02 are projected at 24.2 million cwt, up 10 percent from last month and nearly the same as in 2000/01.
The season-average price range for 2001/02 was lowered 10 cents on each end to $5.15 to $5.65 per cwt compared to a revised $5.55 per cwt for 2000/01.
Global rice production in 2001/02 is projected at 395.7 million metric tons, about 0.7 million tons below last month's projection, and nearly the same as 2000/01. Global consumption in 2001/02 is projected at a record 405.7 million tons and exceeds production resulting in a drawdown of global stocks for the second consecutive year. World ending stocks are projected at 127.2 million tons, down 0.9 million tons from last month and down 10 million tons from 2000/01.
Global exports in 2001/02 are projected at 23 million tons, down 1 million tons from last month and slightly below 2000/01.

So who really reinvented this bicycle wheel?
Two startups unveiled high-tech bicycle wheels within weeks of each other in October that both said would revolutionize cycling.
As for their specialized, battery-backed wheels, well, they look oddly similar. Both have a striking number of the same features, too. And both upstarts profess to use groundbreaking technology that can turn most any standard bike into a hybrid e-bike controlled with the touch of a smartphone.
A moment of cycling serendipity? Or is there something amiss here?
Those questions have been cropping up with increasing frequency on Facebook pages and on cycling blogs around the world as these two startups — one in Cambridge, the other in New York — race to become the first to market with sleek, motorized wheels that provide a burst of power to get riders through tough slogs.
It's a two-wheel battle of the startups, and each is competing for the attention of the smartphone-toting urban cyclist.
The local contender, Superpedestrian Inc., grew out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's SENSEable City Lab and plans to begin shipping its Copenhagen Wheel this spring. The company's founder, Assaf Biderman, is associate director of that MIT lab and has been working openly on the design of the electric wheel since about 2009.
Then there's Niko Klansek, founder of FlyKly Inc., a company that previously sold fully electric-powered bikes. An entrepreneur from Slovenia who resides in New York City, Klansek debuted his company's Smart Wheel on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter in October and raised $701,239 to fund its production.
Neither wheel is on the market or in bike shops yet, but both companies are accepting online pre-orders before the products become available next year.
The promise that Biderman and Klansek are both selling is pretty much the same. The rear wheels attach to most standard bicycle frames and come equipped with batteries and a small motor — all enclosed in a disc — that kick in to assist cyclists when they need help the most, such as going up hills.
Much like a hybrid car, the wheels can capture and store energy when a cyclist is flying down a hill.
The wheels also have a wireless connection to smartphones apps that lets riders track their routes or lock and unlock their bikes.
Sounds kind of the same, right?
That's what Biderman thought when he heard about the FlyKly Kickstarter.
"When I saw that thing, I was like, that looks awfully similar to the Copenhagen Wheel," Biderman said. "It's hard for me to say if he's infringing on our patents because I haven't seen the inside of it. From the outside, it looks extremely similar."
(Patents, filed by MIT and licensed to Superpedestrian, are pending.)
Biderman has his suspicions about FlyKly because Klansek came to MIT SENSEable City Lab last year and met with the team working on the Copenhagen Wheel.
"Afterward, he disappeared, and we later found out about the Kickstarter campaign," Biderman said.
The technology inside the Copenhagen Wheel has been under development for four years, and Biderman does not believe it can be easily copied. Copying the idea, he said, is another matter altogether.
"I can tell you with certainty that this person came to us, and he was inspired by the wheel," Biderman said.
That's not the case, Klansek said in a telephone interview from Slovenia, where he is working on his project.
Yes, he did go to MIT, but not to snoop around, nor did he swipe their ideas.
"The idea to have a motor, battery, and electronics inside the rear wheel is old," said Klansek, who has been involved in related bike technology for several years. But technology has advanced so much that riders can adjust and control lighter electric wheels with smartphones, he said.
Klanske said he has been working on the Smart Wheel concept over the past few years, looking for an easy solution for turning regular bikes into e-bikes. He was aware that MIT's wheel debuted at the Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change in 2009 and has since been the subject of numerous high-profile articles and blogs. The wheel was even featured on an episode of Showtime's "Weeds" in 2011.
Klansek said he figured the Copenhagen was a prototype that was stuck in the lab and wouldn't make it to market, which he said was reinforced by his trip to Cambridge.
"I got the feeling that there was nothing going forward, so I thought they had forgotten about this project," Klansek said.
While many similarities exist between the Copenhagen Wheel and the Smart Wheel, there are technical differences. For instance, the FlyKly wheel is lighter; the Copenhagen Wheel uses more powerful batteries.
So far, this debate hasn't moved from the Web to the courtroom. And it's possible it never will, said Dave Hurst, an analyst at Navigant Research who follows the e-bike market. "I doubt there will be many suits that follow just because no one has any money here."
What's more, Hurst said, other bicycle companies have also come out with similar wheels that enclose motors and batteries inside discs.
The real question for these two startups isn't who came up with the idea for the wheel, but whether anyone is going to buy it. The FlyKly is $590, and Superpedestrian's wheel costs $699.
"Your average hipster that's using a single-speed bike to commute to work — I have a hard time seeing them being convinced to spend $700 for one of these," he said.
"Even if it takes off, clearly these aren't going to be huge sellers."Michael B. Farrell

A diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer doesn't always mean cancer spread
Triple-negative breast cancers are a heterogeneous group and may not always be associated with lymph node spread, a new study shows.
The study of 145 triple negative breast cancers (i.e, cancer which is estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative and HER2-negative) in 128 women found that about 23% were moderate or low-grade lesions, said Cecilia Mercado, MD, of New York University School of Medicine, and an author of the study.
Triple negative breast cancer is found in about 15% of breast cancer patients and the patients are usually younger.
The study found that 11 of the 145 cancers had a low histologic grade. Only one of these patients had evidence that their cancer had spread into their lymph nodes. Twenty-three cancers were moderate grade lesions; only five of these 23 had spread into the lymph nodes. That compares to 37 of 111 cancers with a high histologic grade which had lymph node metastases, Dr. Mercado said.
"Our preliminary results show that triple negative breast cancers are a heterogeneous group. Although many are high grade lesions, some are moderate or low grade demonstrating a lower rate of lymph node metastasis," Dr. Mercado said.
