All that Glitters: What Your Race Schwag Says About You
Behind the bibs, medals, tats and T-shirts that commemorate our multisport experiences.
by Lisa Dolbear
For some athletes, securing the tangible items to commemorate their race experiences is just as important as securing a spot in the race itself. It's a way to preserve the sacred feeling of the finish line, a souvenir that embodies the trials and tribulations we endured to accomplish our goals. In this way, these often inexpensive items become as valuable as the pricey gear we buy to perform in our sport.
But what do our mementos say about us as athletes, and what do we get out of them when the race is over? Read on for a few athletes' stories.
Last month, we polled our IRONMAN Facebook community to see what athletes are doing with their race schwag. From T-shirt quilts and shadow boxes, to special racks and shelves designed to display tri trinkets, many athletes choose to put mementos in places where they want to find inspiration—training room walls are transformed into motivational murals, and bedrooms are decorated into fodder for positive dreams. Athlete Eve Barrett uploaded an image of her living room, where a collage of race bibs surrounding a map of the world occupy an entire wall. "These are all the races we've completed so far, along with a map of the places we want to go next," she commented. Others opted for more seasonal décor—featuring finisher medals as ornaments on a holiday tree, or hanging them outside as wind chimes during the summer.
Dexter Yeats shared a more permanent way of displaying accomplishment and uploaded an image of her M-dot tattoo. For every 140.6 she logs, the tattoo is updated to include a symbol for the race and the year. So far the design captures her finishes in Canada in 1993 and 1995, Coeur d'Alene in 2012, and the IRONMAN World Championship in 1993, 2012 and 2013.
Hardware certainly helps us stay motivated, but some athletes have found ways to use their trinkets to inspire others to try triathlon. Twenty-nine year old IRONMAN Mack Lemmon accidentally started his memento collection in the trunk of his vehicle. "I saw the helmet sticker from my 70.3 race sitting in the seat, so I took it off and stuck it on the inside of my trunk. I didn't know if it would stay, but it did. One year later I completed my second 70.3, and stuck on another helmet sticker. Three months later, I added my first full IRONMAN sticker following the same pattern." The Reynoldsburg, Ohio native says they serve as a great intro for his war stories, and often segue into a recruiting pitch. "It's not necessarily about triathlon, or even better fitness," Mack explains. "It's about showing people what's possible. Telling them how to be accountable to their goals, and how to re-prioritize things in this 100-mph life we all lead."
Jason Hardrath takes a similar tack. He's a physical education specialist, and he displays all 100 (and counting) of his race bibs in his office where students can see them. "I've kept every number I've raced in since high school," the 25-year old Klamath Falls, OR native says. Hardrath says the wall piques his students' curiosity, who often want to learn more about his training and racing. "I use those conversations as an opportunity to talk with them about a living a life that's beyond the ordinary," he says. "One student told me that he wanted to stay in touch with me after graduating because he knew I would stay in good shape, and he wanted to do that too."
Paying it forward
Whatever token you save from your racing experience, it probably comes with a story—about obstacles overcome, challenges faced, or lessons learned. But it doesn't need to be displayed to have meaning. In some cases, you won't even keep it. Since 2005, athletes have been donating their hardware to Medals4Mettle, a non-profit organization that collects runners' medals and presents them to those who are battling serious and debilitating illnesses, and who have demonstrated similar courage and mettle fighting those illnesses. "Certainly everyone cannot run a marathon, but people who are battling life-threatening illnesses and severe disabilities demonstrate mettle everyday," the website states. Athletes from all sports have been happy to donate the object of their own blood, sweat and tears to the organization; according to the website, medals have been awarded by Indy 500 race car drivers, Olympic athletes and various other individuals who want to see their hard-earned medals in the hands of other courageous human beings.

DETROIT - Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has vetoed a bill that would have allowed concealed weapons at churches and schools.
View: Snyder's veto letter
The bill sent to the Republican governor by the GOP-controlled Michigan legislature would have allowed someone who gets extra training to have a concealed weapon in a gun-free zone. The bill, Senate Bill 59, arrived on Snyder's desk on Tuesday. On Monday, the governor said he would be giving the bill "extra consideration" following the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.
Read more: Clergy to hold prayer vigil and rally, ask Michigan governor to veto concealed gun legislation
The law also would have put county sheriffs in charge of concealed-weapons applications instead of local boards. Schools, churches and other entities could declare themselves off-limits to openly carried guns under trespass laws.
Watch: Snyder risks re-election with gun bill veto
Snyder has also ordered a multi-departmental assessment of the state's services and needs regarding at-risk children. While he vetoed Senate Bill 59, Snyder did sign two other bills that are meant to streamline the process for handgun purchases and eliminate restrictions on interstate rifle and shotgun transactions to states which border Michigan.
Watch: Failed Mich. gun bill doomed from the start.
According to his office, Snyder vetoed the concealed weapons bill because it fails to "let designated public entities such as schools, day care centers and hospitals opt out of the new concealed carry provisions."
"While we must vigilantly protect the rights of law-abiding firearm owners, we also must ensure the right of designated public entities to exercise their best discretion in matters of safety and security," the governor said in a news release Tuesday. "These public venues need clear legal authority to ban firearms on their premises if they see fit to do so."
Read more: Gov. Snyder giving Mich.'s expanded open carry bill 'extra consideration' after Newtown tragedy
Following the veto, Michigan Speaker of the House Jase Bolger (R-Marshall) released the following statement:
"As the father of two children, I cannot begin to imagine the heartbreak and horror for those in Connecticut. The sad truth is that signing or vetoing Senate Bill 59 would have had no impact on that tragedy. With regard to this specific legislation, it is unfortunate a compromise was not reached that the governor could support, and I understand the governor exercising his authority. It also is unfortunate that this veto does not make Michigan citizens safer in gun-free zones. Neither the governor's approval nor his veto will stop evil from preying on innocent people. With this veto, however, open-carry still exists in schools, churches and other public areas, and we know that criminals do not respect gun-free zones. For these reasons, we will continue to work with the governor to best protect our law-abiding citizens' Second Amendment rights, as well as the safety and security of all of our citizens."

Texas Public Hunt Drawings Offer Affordable Hunting
Media Contact: Steve Lightfoot, (512) 389-4701, firstname.lastname@example.com
July 23, 2007
Public Hunt Drawings Offer Affordable Hunting
AUSTIN, Texas — With fall hunting seasons shaping up to be among the best in recent memory, according to state wildlife biologists, now is the time to begin making preparations. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will be conducting special drawings for hunts and applications for these quality, affordable hunting experiences are available now.
During the upcoming hunting seasons, more than 5,000 hunters will be selected through random computer drawings allowing access to some of the state's high-quality managed wildlife habitat. Wildlife management areas, state parks and leased private property will be available for these quality supervised hunts for white-tailed deer, mule deer, pronghorn, javelina, alligator, exotics, feral hog and spring turkey.
Through an application process, hunters can select from among 31 different hunt categories and choose a preferred hunt date and location from 69 hunt areas stretching across the state. There's even a provision for hunting buddies to apply as a group — in some cases up to four hunters can apply together on one application.
"Hunters interested in applying for drawn hunts this season should pay close attention to the application deadlines which have changed for some hunt categories," said Kelly Edmiston Program Specialist with TPWD's public hunting program. "Three new hunt categories have also been added for this year: private lands pronghorn, archery mule deer and gun mule deer. "
Eight free youth-only hunt categories are available to hunters who are between the ages of 8–16 at the time of application. All hunt positions are randomly selected in a computer drawing from all correctly completed entries received by the specified deadline.
In addition to exceptional hunting opportunities for big game, such as white-tailed deer and mule deer, TPWD's special drawing hunts will offer some unique opportunities. A guided bighorn sheep hunt at a West Texas wildlife management area will again be offered this year depending on the availability of a bighorn sheep permit.
There are also some unique guided hunt opportunities on Mason Mountain Wildlife Management Area, including hunts for axis deer, waterbuck, white-tailed deer, scimitar-horned oryx and gemsbok.
Hunters drawn in the special permit hunts are not required to use a tag off their hunting license on white-tailed or mule deer that are taken during the hunt. The hunters will be issued a free TPWD legal deer tag at the area when they bring their harvested animal to the check station. This will allow the public hunters additional opportunity to use their license tags.
The application fee for adult applicants in most of the public hunt drawings is $3 per adult person on the application. Successfully drawn hunters pay an additional Special Permit fee ($75–125 in most cases) for a one-to-four-day hunt.
Special Permit fees do not apply to drawn hunts for pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, guided hunts at Mason Mountain Wildlife Management Area, and drawn hunts on private land. Guided hunts and private land hunts cost $10 per adult person on the application.
The application deadline for alligator hunts is Aug. 2. For pronghorn antelope hunts on private land or the Rita Blanca National Grasslands north of Dalhart, the deadline is Aug. 16. Bowhunters also have until Aug. 16 to apply for special drawn public archery hunts. Entries for the general (gun) season deer hunts must be received by Sept. 6. Deadline for the Guided Bighorn Sheep Hunt is November 1.
Last year TPWD received 38,606 applications for the 5,833 positions offered in special drawn hunt categories.
Information and applications for Special Permit hunts are available on the Public Hunting Web site. Application booklets are currently being mailed to hunters who applied for special permit drawn hunts last year. The booklets are also available at TPWD law enforcement offices. Information about Special Permit drawn hunts can be found on-line or by calling toll free (800) 792-1112.
Because the outlook is so bright for this year's hunting seasons, TPWD is expecting a jump in hunter participation and is encouraging hunters to make plans early. Hunting licenses go on sale Aug. 15 and hunters should try to avoid the last-minute rush by buying a license early. Last year, nearly 350,000 licenses were sold over the Labor Day holiday weekend, which coincides with the dove season opener.
When purchasing your hunting license, be sure to enter for the opportunity to win one or more of TPWD's Big Time Texas Hunts. The BTTH program offers some of the finest guided hunts in the state. Proceeds from BTTH pay for wildlife conservation work and additional public hunting opportunities in Texas.
This year's BTTH line-up offers the following hunt packages:
- Texas Grand Slam — one winner experiences a series of four separate hunts for desert bighorn sheep, white-tailed deer, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope.
- Texas Exotic Safari — two winners get to hunt a choice of African big game species.
- Texas Whitetail Bonanza — 10 winners and their hunting companions receive a high-quality 3-5 day white-tailed deer hunt.
- Texas Premium Buck Hunt — one winner and a hunting guest get the chance to hunt mature trophy white-tailed deer.
- Texas Waterfowl Adventure — one winner can bring up to 3 hunting guests on a coastal prairie goose hunt and East Texas and coastal duck hunts.
- Texas Big Time Bird Hunt — one winner and guests will enjoy quality quail, pheasant, dove and turkey hunts in some of the best places Texas has to offer.
- Texas Gator Hunt — a rare opportunity for a 3-day alligator hunt on the J.D. Murphree Wildlife Management Area.
All Big Time Texas Hunts packages include food, lodging and a hunting guide. Some packages, such as the Texas Grand Slam and Texas Exotic Safari provide taxidermy of harvested game. For each BTTH hunt package, the winner can bring along one or more guests, and in some cases guests may also hunt or enjoy other benefits — see the Web site or brochure for details. The deadline to apply in the BTTH drawings for 2007–08 is midnight Oct. 15.
Entries for the BTTH hunt packages are still only $10 and hunters can purchase them at any license vendor location or with a major credit card online or by phone at (800) 895-4248. Participants must be age 18 or older to enter and may apply as many times as they like.

OUR Mission
The purpose of the Georgia Boy Choir is to achieve the highest possible standard of musical excellence, while instilling in its members a life-long appreciation of music; an abiding love of beauty; a keen sense of respect for themselves and others; and the self-discipline necessary to become effective leaders in their families, their communities and the world.
The Georgia Boy Choir operates on a five–tiered system of musical education for boys as young as five years old through high school.
A boy who becomes a member of the Georgia Boy Choir is in for one of the best experiences of his life. In addition to Establishing a Legacy of Musical Excellence, the Choir understands its responsibility in helping to mold boys into young men of admirable character, who will be leaders in their homes, their temples and churches, their schools, their communities, and in the world.
The Georgia Boy Choir bases its training on the four pillars of Excellence, Leadership, Character, and Tradition.
Excellence – The Georgia Boy Choir has set for itself the highest possible standard of musical excellence—striving to be among the finest Choirs in the world. All too often, young people are sadly held to a lower standard, a standard of mediocrity, and then told it is excellence.
Leadership – Achieving the standard of excellence that is required takes a considerable amount of self discipline. The boys in the Georgia Boy Choir have learned to master themselves in order to achieve their goal. Self discipline of this magnitude makes boys into young men who lead by example.
Character – It is one thing to be a leader, but all too often, a leader leads the wrong direction. His inner compass is not working correctly. We are working on building boys and young men with Character, with the ability to make right decisions even when there is pressure to do the wrong thing.
Tradition – We are building on a tradition of boys' singing that is hundreds, even thousands of years old. But we are also establishing our own Tradition—A Legacy of Excellence that will serve the community of Atlanta and the state of Georgia proudly and well.
It is the rehearsal process and the performance and travel opportunities that provide the ideal vehicle for achieving our goals.

If peace and quiet are what you seek, look no further than Dunning.
Located only 10 miles from the Loop at the edge of the city on the Northwest Side, Dunning is anything but edgy. This community is so calm, cool and collected, not even Starbucks knows it's there.
How do the 40,000-plus residents handle living in a "No Starbucks Zone"?
Tivadar "Ted" Szabo Jr., president of Portage Park Chamber of Commerce, put an espresso machine in his real estate office. The chamber includes Dunning in its service area.
The 12,000 students at Wright College stay on campus when the need strikes for caffeine.
For residents who commute on Interstate Highways 90/94 or 294, coffee has to wait until they park. Those riding the Blue line or one of the eight CTA buses that serve the area hold out until they get to their stop.
The rest pull up a chair, open their laptops and order a slice of chocolate chip with their coffee at Eli's Cheesecake World Cafe.
Marc Schulman settles in at a table in the cafe and watches the goings on. Schulman is a regular; he is also president of Eli's Cheesecake Co. It's Friday morning and he isn't alone. This place is so popular it was featured on the Food Network.
Bakers, chefs, school children, tourists and neighbors wander in and out of the large, airy space that includes outdoor seating in warmer weather. This foot traffic happens all day long, seven days a week. Some stop to shop, others for lunch or to check their e-mail; the cafe provides free Wi-Fi.
When Eli's original factory needed to expand, Schulman said they were very happy to find property on Forest Preserve Drive at the north end of Dunning. Dunning, one of the city's 77 official community areas, stretches between Montrose Avenue, Forest Preserve Avenue and Irving Park Road on the north and Belmont Avenue on the south; Cumberland Avenue to the west and Austin Avenue on the east.
The desire to stay in the city is not lost on Mary Gale.
Thirty-four years ago Gale and her husband decided to buy their English Tudor home in Dunning. They raised both of their children there.
"I'm a city girl, " Gale said. She liked the idea of living in Chicago and in an area that was filled with other young families. "We bought because of the neighborhood."
Gale likes the access she has to the expressways, which she uses to go somewhere special to shop or to have dinner. In the neighborhood, she and her husband prefer Caponies Trattoria for pizza. Caponies was featured on "Check, Please!" and lauded by food critics for its wood-burning pizza oven. If they just want a burger, Gale says they'll drive to the Longhorn Steakhouse in nearby Norridge.
The community has special memories for Szabo too. A Realtor for 21 years, he grew up in Dunning.
"My parents still live here," Szabo says. "I have nothing but fond memories of grammar school and high school. And my first job was here." He says today there is great opportunity to buy a quality home in Dunning.
For buyers wanting to stay in the city or return from the suburbs, Szabo says Dunning offers an array of conveniences and bargains in solid housing. "There are plenty of housing options and lots of homes on the market. Some have struck deals with receiverships as this neighborhood is not immune to the mix of foreclosures and short sales [that plague] other areas," he said.
Szabo added that Dunning is primed for a new cycle, meaning the couples that moved in years ago are now empty-nesters. Some stay in their home, downsize to a condo or sell to the new families who are moving in for the very reasons that they did -- a desire for a home in an area that provides city life with a suburban feel.
City life also means city concerns. Dunning is located within Chicago Police Precinct 16. Between October 14 and 27, only five incidents of crime were reported for beat 1631 (the heart of Dunning): four thefts and one assault.
According to Szabo, the condominium market is attracting singles and young couples as well as retirees. He has a listing in the Glenlake condominium development for a two-bedroom unit with garage space for $224,900.
Yet it is single-family homes that dominate Dunning. Frame houses, Chicago bungalows and English Tudors line the side streets. In the early 20th century a developer named Schorsch built the graceful English Tudor styles with their stylized roofs along Oak Park Avenue and called the area Schorsch Village. It remains one of the jewels of the community.
Wilbur Wright College, part of the City Colleges of Chicago, is another.
The sprawling, modern campus is the cultural anchor of Dunning. Wright draws 12,000 students to the area, which brings a huge economic impact to the community. Wright is a major employer, a learning center for class credit, adult education and programs for the entire family.
Residents follow the Wright Rams, attend fine arts exhibits and productions at the Stage Wright Theater. Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" runs through Nov. 22 and general admission is only 10 bucks.
Schulman says his company partners with Wright College and other local businesses in community service programs and events that pay tribute to Dunning residents. These activities include hosting one of the city's farmers markets in the parking lot, which is where the Father's Day bike ride kicks off each June; 200 rode in 2009. Each October, the Fall Cheesecake Festival draws crowds from all over the city; this year 15,000 showed up for the fun that included two entertainment stages and a classic car show.
Dunning is a community of sidewalks for baby strollers and power walkers. Many head over to Merrimac Park and nearby Portage Park for events at the field houses and to enjoy the greenspace and Chicago Park District programs. Everyone, it seems, makes time to walk, ride or bike in Dunning and to its events. Including those held in the parking lot at Eli's.
Dunning: Where the living is cool and calm
If peace and quiet are what you seek, look no further than Dunning.

Reuters reports that Apple shed more than five percent of its stock price value in after-hours trading after the company reported its second quarterly miss on results in less than a year, highlighting how the Apple brand is becoming less resistant to the economic and product cycles that have plagued rivals. 'Clearly it was a disappointment,' says Channing Smith, Co-Manager of Capital Advisors Growth Fund. 'We expected a lot of consumers will probably delay their upgrade and their purchases until the iPhone 5 comes out. We saw a similar trend occur last year with the iPhone 4S.' Executives acknowledged buyers were refraining from purchases because of 'rumors and speculation' around the iPhone 5, which sources have said will ship in September with a thinner and larger screen. 'The iPhone 5 is already the most hyped device and for it to exceed expectations is going to be really hard,' says BGC Partners analyst Colin Gillis. This is one of many reasons Apple is so notoriously secretive. With the levels of hype that Apple product launches garner, it would undoubtedly crush its own sales if it announced products even months in advance. Instead, Apple slowly and silently draws down inventory in distribution channels, and then the upgraded product is available immediately (or nearly immediately) after it's announced. According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, 'there is an incredible anticipation out there or for future products and as you would expect given what we've been able to deliver in the past.'"

The Rupp House in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania served as the headquarters for Confederate General Albert G. Jenkins' brigade during the Gettysburg campaign in late June 1863. On June 28 Jenkins' troops captured Mechanicsburg without encountering any resistance. Two days later, however, Jenkins received General Robert E. Lee's order to regroup at Gettysburg. As Jenkins' brigade left on June 30, his rearguard became involved in the Battle of Sporting Hill. The Rupp House was built in 1787 by Jonas Rupp. His grandson's family owned the house in 1863 and they remained in Lancaster, Pennsylvania while the Confederates were in Mechanicsburg. The Rupp House is at 5115 East Trindle Road, but it is currently not open to the public.
You can learn more in an essay on ExplorePAhistory.com, Robert Grant Crist's article "Highwater 1863: The Confederate Approach to Harrisburg" (Pennsylvania History 1963), and in Wilbur Sturtevant Nye's Here Come The Rebels! (1965).

Remember Dave Winer's speculation that women were biologically unfit for the tech industry? He should have just asked the women why they were avoiding the field — it turns out when you do that, they don't say "Math is hard" or "I just like shopping". Instead, they point to abusive, denigrating policies and a culture of self-congratulatory dudebros.
I have another peeve in the comments. There are complaints about the industry being reluctant to hire women of child-bearing age, and the defense from some women is "I'm not going to have children!" or "I'm a lesbian!" That's nice. Do you think women who want to have children should suffer a career penalty for that? Isn't it more than a little unfair that no one complains about men of that age, because the assumption is that they won't have any obligations to participate in parenting? Maybe industry and academia should recognize that their workers are human beings, men and women, and that they will have desires and needs outside of the cubicle that you must respect.
It's depressing stuff to read when you have a daughter with an aspirations of a career in technology. I think she can kick all the dumb dudes' asses, but she shouldn't have to.

World Environment Day: ICRC committed to sustainable development
04-06-2012 Feature
For the past 10 years, the ICRC has been striving to make sustainable development a practical part of its humanitarian work. Innovative experiments – biogas production as part of waste disposal at prisons in Rwanda, Nepal and the Philippines, solar panels driving water pumps in South Sudan and heating water at a Philippine prison, and so on – are being carried out to reduce human impact on the environment. To mark World Environment Day and in the run-up to the UN's Rio conference on sustainable development in mid-June, here is a brief review of ICRC projects.
Along the boundary running the length of a prison in Rwanda, biogas domes peek out of the earth. Each contains a 100-cubic-metre chamber. Inside, human waste is decomposing and releasing methane. "It's true that this system costs more than a simple septic tank," says Alain Oppliger, the ICRC adviser for sustainable development, "but it's worth it in terms of environmental impact."
The system's main advantage is that it safeguards prisoner health, since emptying a septic tank manually poses a high risk of dangerous contamination. The second plus is that the resulting methane is used as a fuel to cook food. Cooks in Rwandan prisons otherwise burn wood, which results in deforestation of the prison's surroundings and exposes the cooks to long hours spent in a smoke-filled environment.
With gas now providing part of the heat needed for cooking, the ICRC has noted a 25-45% drop in tree-felling near the prisons. And part of the waste residue is used as fertilizer for banana and coffee plantations. The ICRC, says Oppliger, has a humanitarian duty to do what it can to protect the environment in the places where it works. The biogas system, introduced by the organization in Rwanda 10 years ago, is now operating in Nepal and the Philippines as well, with a total of 13 prisons benefiting from it.
Solar panels
Another project being carried out by the ICRC is sun power. In the town of Akobo in South Sudan, for example, it has installed solar panels and is completing the process of sinking four boreholes and equipping them with pumps. These are connected to a distribution network of 11 sites that will supply 55,000 people. The entire system runs on solar energy. Panels have also been installed at prisons in the Philippines to heat water in their kitchens.
The ICRC's alternative-energy projects in Rwanda, Nepal, the Philippines and South Sudan are merely the beginning. Since September 2011, the organization has had a sustainable-development policy aimed at incorporating environmental protection, economic sustainability and social responsibility into its operations and decision-making process.
Future benefits
The ICRC has issued guidelines for aid operations and the management of toxic medical waste, garage waste and used electronic components. The delegations in Bogotá, New Delhi and Nairobi, among others, have now implemented these rules. The ICRC hopes that within two years they will be in force in 13 delegations.
"Now we can follow the principles of sustainable development from the outset of our operations", says Oppliger. "And that means that we can prepare for post-conflict reconstruction without in any way impeding our ability to deal with the current emergency. It's really part of our never-ending effort to improve the quality of our operations."
What the law says
Under international humanitarian law, the natural environment has the status of a "civilian object", meaning that the law protects it from attack. This protection ceases only if the "object" concerned may be viewed as a military objective. Of course, even if this should be the case, the general principles of the law of war – such as the proportionality principle – still apply and have the force of customary law (see Rule 43 in the ICRC's List of Customary Rules of International Humanitarian Law). ). In addition, Articles 35, paragraph 3, and 55 of the Protocol I additional to the Geneva Conventions specifically prohibit acts of warfare that "may be expected to cause ... damage to the natural environment". The ICRC is currently revising its environment-protection directives for military manuals.

The ICRC at Rio+20
At the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, the ICRC will raise the issue of environmental damage caused by weapons contamination. Contamination can take lives and make land unusable in countries affected by current or recent conflict, but it can also kill people many decades after the fighting ends. It is a major problem in over 40% of the countries where the ICRC has operations today. The ICRC has formed a weapons-contamination unit that strives to minimize the effects by launching programmes to clear and destroy unexploded ordnance, and raising awareness of the danger among the local population. Both the Rio+20 participants and the general public are invited to visit the ICRC stand in Athlete's Park, in Rio's Barra da Tijuca neighbourhood. The organization will hold a photo exhibition there from 13 to 24 June. And on 14 June at 1.30 pm, a talk on weapons contamination will be given (room T-5, Riocentro) to the Rio+20 preparatory committee.

Alright, so I lied. You're still going to have to deal with the obnoxious Mori even after you beat him in the boat/car race the last time you saw him. Head over to Mori and Brucie's place in Broker, off of Monahet Avenue. When you arrive, you will, as usual, find Mori harassing his younger brother to death. Doing sit-ups in front of Mori, Brucie seems annoyed. Luis actually stands up for him a bit and gets Mori to lighten up on his brother, but that lasts all of ten seconds. Ultimately, Mori will ask Luis and Brucie to come along for this mission.
You'll automatically start in a car when you regain control, so head to the destination marked on your map, which is in Algonquin. More specifically, you're heading to Topaz Street, which is the road in Algonquin that marks the northernmost edge of Middle Park. The GPS will get you there with a solid route, as always. When you arrive at your destination, you'll find yourself in a mechanics' garage. Mori will hand the mechanic some cash, and you'll gain access to three valuable, pristine cars. Veterans of GTAIV will find that high-end car theft must run in the family, because both Mori and Brucie are in on the action. Follow the on-screen instructions to get the cars off of the lift, and get in the third and final car you pull down.
When you pull down the third and final car from the lift, get in, pull out of the garage, and pull right behind the brothers' cars. The idea is to get these cars to their destination in one piece. That means that while you can crash the car, damage it considerably, and whatever else, you must still finish the mission in the same car. If you trash it, abandon it, or do anything else to it, you'll fail and be forced to try again. Mori is a maniac, and has called the cops in order to make things more interesting, so you're going to have to dodge them all the while. But even then, the primary hazards here come from the roads you'll be driving on. You'll need to keep up with the brothers while carefully navigating your way to the docks, where the cars will be unloaded. You can follow the brothers visually, or by way of your HUD, but either way, try to stay as close to them as you can. Take turns carefully, and be sure not to lose your car off of a sharp turn, by dumping it into the water!
Finally, you'll get to the mission's endgame. You'll have to take the car off of several consecutive jumps. Ramps will appear near each jump, and each jump is pretty much a no-brainer. You don't have to go too fast here, but don't go too slow either. When you've finally reached the last boat, the three cars will be parked, and you'll get to witness a mission-ending cutscene. Mori continues to annoy both Luis and Brucie, to the point that Brucie actually punches him in the face. Of course, Brucie ends up regretting it, but at least you got to witness an act of vindication. By playing GTAIV, you would have never guessed that Brucie plays second fiddle in his family. Seems he's not so "omega" after all.

Sunday's Abu Dhabi card is highlighted by UAE Arabian Derby, a 2200m Prestige race restricted to four-year-olds which has attracted a field of 13.
Burkan Al Asayl arrives here having won both his first two starts for trainer Philippe Barbe who won last week's HH The President's Cup with Seraphin Du Paon.
Olivier Peslier rode that big race winner and will partner Barbe's hope on this occasion. The jockey said: "Last week was my first visit to Abu Dhabi and a great experience. Philippe is a good trainer and this horse looks to have a good chance also."
This is by far his toughest assignment to date though and His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum looks to have a particularly strong hand.
His retained jockey Richard Hills elects to ride Tenor Des Vialettes who won the Listed first round of the Arabian Triple Crown on his most recent start under Tadhg O'Shea.
On that occasion Hills rode Aqmaar who was second and will be ridden by O'Shea this time. Both are trained by Musabah Al Muhairi.
Gill Duffield is always respected in these races and saddles three. Tejaara was well beaten on his debut but neither Dorpenthes nor King Sakbe have raced to date.
Julio Peromingo also saddles an interesting newcomer in the shape of Thalem De Chaillac under Wayne Smith.
The main support race is the Emirates Fillies' Classic, a 1600m Prestige contest. Of the 14 declared, only three have won and Athena, who heads the weights, has two wins to his credit for trainer Ahmed Al Shamsi.
The 3kgs claim of apprentice Antioco Murgia offsets her penalty and he was onboard when she beat the re-opposing AF Alriaah. Trained by Gill Duffield, she should go close under Tadhg O'Shea.
However, the other two winners AF Al Lijam and Noor Einy look big dangers. The latter represents the Barbe/Peslier partnership and won her only start, while the former is trained by Eric Lemartinel and will be ridden by Gerald Avranche.
The only Thoroughbred race is the concluding 1600m maiden and the Ali Rashid Al Raihe-trained Seeking Glory looks the one to beat after his good debut second at Meydan on the All-Weather.
The concern could be that his only previous start was a disappointing one at Newmarket in September.
Musabah Al Muhairi saddles two with Wayne Smith choosing Penthouse Reader, while Kingdom Beauty is the choice of Richard Mullen from three Satish Seemar runners.
The Mubarak bin Shafya-trained Busker is another to consider.

La Dolce Vita
While Christian was being passed around by teenage girls at the YMCA daycare I ran 9 miles at an 8:30 second pace, which is much faster than my pre-pregnancy daily runs. After that we went to the pool. He fell asleep to heavenly pool sounds while I swam. I'm so happy to be feeling like my non-pregnant self again. I always thought women inevitably said good-bye to their previous body once they had their first child. Well, this just doens't have to be the case.
And many people say you'll never get your old life back again once you have a baby. Well, all I know is I'm still leading the same life, I just have a little baby I am in love with and I'm actually a lot cleaner now that I've got him and the babysitter to clean for.
And SR and I are getting excited about our wedding coming up in less than 3 weeks! We had a lot of fun last night just laying on the floor and laughing, much like when we started dating almost one year ago, but now there's a little baby laying with us.
This Thursday SR's parents are coming from Europe and we've got a lot planned with them and the kids. It will involve frequent visits to indoor water parks, which will be fun. They are wonderful grandparents and I can't wait for them to meet Christian.
On Friday night, SR's ex wife suggested she and her girlfriend, we and SR's parents go out to dinner. I'm trying not to let my mind ponder the strangeness of this too much as there really is no other option than to go along with it.
I did have a dream last night, though, that my ex-husband invited my parents and me and SR to dinner. We were at this country club my parents love to eat at. The lights were a soft yellow and my parents and my ex-husband were laughing and joking with wine glasses in their hands and rosy cheeks. SR was looking down at his empty plate.
It was a bad dream and I guess I just don't want Friday night to be like that.
Anyway, I gotta get ready for work.

SLG, sometimes I do things with my step daughters mom. For example, if she has a Cooks World party or something, I'll go. It's no big deal, we're not opponents...we all have the best interest of the kids involved while trying to live a happy life with a partner we love and can live with. I would not suggest attending a dinner with your ex, however....I truly think there will be drama. LOL! Is your dream saying that your parents enjoy your ex's company and maybe you are worried they still like him more than SR? Well, I had that problem, too. My in laws told my DH right in front of me "We liked her! Why did you have to divorce her? We didn't have a problem with her! We are having trouble getting used to Lisa, she is not like Ex Wife." I nearly died, and never really forgave them for that and more.
Glad your workouts are going well, I still cannot believe you are back to work so soon.

Oh, gosh Lisa, I can't believe your new in-laws said that! But I guess it's only natural for everyone to feel like that about the one who got dumped (especially if they liked them and knew them well). That's how my dad acted at first. But less than a year later it's amazing how much they like SR. And, of course, my opinion is what's not to like about him. Hopefully your inlaws will let themselves see the all the things to like about you.

How Childen Fail
(Pitman 1964, revised edition Delacorte 1982, Perseus, 1995)
After his years of work considering and promoting alternatives to school, homeschooling in particular, Holt revised his two most famous works to incorporate his new insights.
When he revised How Children Fail and How Children Learn Holt left the original text intact, interspersed with his new material (indented and marked with a line running along the left margin). This is to show how Holt himself was learning all the time and how people can be self-correcting.
"The only difference between a good student and a bad student, is that the good student is careful not to forget what he studied until after the test..."
"...[the] alternative — I can see no other — is to have schools and classrooms in which each child in his own way can satisfy his curiosity, develop his abilities and talents, pursue his interests, and from the adults and older children around him get a glimpse of the great variety and richness of life. In short, the school should be a great smorgasbord of intellectual, artistic, creative, and athletic activities, from which each child could take whatever he wanted, and as much as he wanted, or as little. When Anna was in the sixth grade, the year after she was in my class, I mentioned this idea to her. After describing very sketchily how such a school might be run, and what the children might do, I said, "Tell me, what do you think of it? Do you think it would work? Do you think the kids would learn anything?" She said, with utmost conviction, "Oh yes, it would be wonderful!" She was silent for a minute or tow, perhaps remembering her own generally unhappy schooling. Then she said thoughtfully, "You know, kids really like to learn; we just don't like being pushed around."
No, they don't; and we should be grateful for that. So let's stop pushing them around, and give them a chance.
Since I wrote this, I have stopped believing that "schools," however organized, are the proper, or only, or best places for this. As I wrote in Instead of Education and Teach Your Own, except in very rare circumstances the idea of special learning places where nothing but learning happens no longer seem to me to make any sense at all. The proper place and best place for children to learn whatever they need or want to know is the place where until very recently almost all children learned it - in the world itself, in the mainstream of adult life. If we put in every community, as we should (perhaps in former school buildings), resource and activity centers, citizens' clubs, full of spaces for many kinds of things to happen- libraries, music rooms, theaters, sports facilities, workshops, meeting rooms - these should be open to and used by young and old together. We made a terrible mistake when (with the best of intentions) we separated children from adults and learning from the rest of life, and one of our most urgent tasks is to take down the barriers we have put between them and let them come back together..."

With the success of The Avengers and the upcoming release of "Iron Man 3," Marvel's dominance of the big screen has led the comic giant on a new quest: To take over your DVD player.
"The Inhumans," an animated feature based on the classic 2001 comic book run by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee, will be released on DVD via Shout Factory on April 23 and is Marvel's newest addition to their ever-growing Marvel Knights animation line. Geared toward more mature readers, the series features adult themes and topics.
"The Inhumans" is no exception, as it focuses heavily on the role of government, but tackles slavery, love and even mental health issues in a deep story arc that features some of Marvel's most beloved cult characters such as the mute, but ultra-powerful Black Bolt and his beautiful hair-tastic wife, Madusa.
"The Inhumans are the ultimate outsiders," Marvel Comics Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso said. "They are a ruthless nation of outcasts. At the center of all of that is a divided and embattled family. They are kind of the outcasts of the outcasts. They are a race of supernatural figures that were almost a mistake, but they went on to form this society. That, I think makes them very relatable to people."
While they aren't quite in the same league as "The Fantastic Four" or "The Avengers," Alonso sees them as important characters in the Marvel universe. He said a lot of that has to do with Black Bolt, the team's leader. Armed with a voice that can kill thousands in just a whisper, Black Bolt is forced to stay silent on the throne and depend on his wife Madusa and the rest of the royal family to help him rule the Attilian people.
"I think Black Bolt has maybe of one of the coolest costumes in comics," Alonso said. "It doesn't hurt either how enigmatic and powerful he is. But all of the characters are designed so beautifully and they echo the times they were created in, the hippy movement and counter-culture society. It definitely shows in their design. There's nothing conservative about them."
Marvel Entertainment Chief Creative Officer and founder of Marvel Knights, Joe Quesada said the idea to turn the comic book into an animated series came up over a year ago when the company was deciding what series would translate best from comic book page to DVD.
"They're a group of characters that are really important to us," Quesada said. "It's something down the road that we may want to elevate more."
Although Quesada wouldn't comment on any plans on a "Inhumans" live-action film, he did say that the series is an important part of the company's vision moving forward.
"There's a lot of great stories with 'The Inhumans' and this is one of the best arcs in the series," Quesada said. "This is one that we thought a larger audience would really enjoy."

After a bomb threat, this Midwestern manufacturing facility combined security systems to avoid a similar scenario in the future.
A bomb threat occurred three years ago at a large Midwestern manufacturing facility, resulting in assembly line shutdowns, fear among all involved, and a plant-wide employee evacuation. Adding a security system to the plant was necessary to avoid future security problems. Combining several security and detection systems in a facility as large as this one takes coordination.
Last month, we covered the technical aspects of combining systems such as these, discussing how often and in which ways we use security systems. This month, we'll go in-depth to show point-by-point use of systems in a single example - this manufacturing facility. Let's look at the plant at the time of the threat and consider necessary upgrades - even after its present improvement.
Structural and layout complications. Many windows and multiple entry doors make up this two-story, sprawling facility. Several wings extending off the main section give the building an irregular shape. Small and temporary buildings provide additional office space.
The campus buildings include two automotive repair bays, four truck docks, a gasoline pump, and a small electrical substation. The cafeteria, located at the far end of the building away from the main entrance, and another wing of the building have exterior doors to access the courtyard.
Security issues before the new system. In addition to the structural and layout complications, workers in this plant had some serious security concerns. Overcrowded by about 33% with about 1625 employees, the facility frequently operates on a two- or three-shift schedule.
At the time of the threat, copies of keys to the entry doors of the facility were abundant among its employees. Worse yet, the building had no air conditioning, so the windows typically remained open during warm weather to cool work areas.
Present security system. Security personnel combined several systems to improve these troubling issues. The main door and the loading docks are now the only unlocked entryways. With this change, all employees carry electronic key cards, necessary to enter the building from side doors.
An unarmed guard checks key cards and signs visitors in and out from the main entrance during normal working hours. This allows the security staff to know who is in the building during the workday. This is valuable information when accounting for employees and visitors during a fire or other emergency situations, such as the previous bomb threat.
Security staff members now keep a visual record of who enters the facility. With a limited number of television cameras to help monitor the main entrance and other locations, it's now possible to store the results on videotapes.
A need for upgrades. Overcrowding is still a serious safety issue. The facility needs to expand to accommodate this problem.
Air conditioning in the building can help to solve some safety considerations, helping security to keep the windows shut and locked. While the loading docks are open during all working hours, added cameras in this area (with real-time monitoring capabilities) can be a simple upgrade.
Since it's necessary to open the side exterior doors from the inside (in case of an emergency), employees sometimes leave these doors open for ventilation. Applying an emergency alarm system, set to sound if a door remains open after a short time period, can help to keep these doors locked.
With these needed upgrades, employees at this facility still don't feel safe.
The goal. Although total security isn't possible, continuing to strive for increased security is necessary. Creating a safe environment by developing an organized set of technologies and responses to be prepared before, during, and after potential security problems is this facility's goal.

Q & A with Sophomore High Jumper Casey Ryan
Related Links
Q - You qualified for the NCAA Division II Championships in the high jump this season having improved to a personal best height of 6'10.75." How do you feel about your season and reaching the NCAA Championships?
Ryan - It feels really good to have qualified in only my second year of track at UCSD. I narrowly missed making it to the NCAA Championships last year and so it's nice knowing that I will be joining the girls on the bus to LA. It is definitely a great way to finish the season and hopefully I can perform well once I get there, along with the rest of my team.
Q - Your jump of 6'10.75" also pushes you into second place all-time at UCSD, only .25" away from a spot on top of that list. Do you think about reaching that mark and how much work and effort go into making that type of impact on UCSD athletics?
Ryan - Reaching first all-time at UCSD for high jump is definitely a goal of mine that I would like to reach sooner than later. If it were to happen at Nationals that would be great, but if not at Nationals, then hopefully in the next couple of years at UCSD.
Q - In addition to your high jump duties, you throw the javelin, currently landing in 4th place all-time on UCSD's list. You also play on the basketball team and seem to have a very busy schedule. How do you compete at such a high level in so many different areas?
Ryan - Balancing both basketball and track has been a little challenging for me over the last two years, however, I am able to focus on basketball until the season is over and then move on to track. The coaches allow me to do them separately so that they do not overlap with each other, making it a little easier to handle both.
Q - What do your basketball teammates think of your track career and vice versa?
Ryan - Other than my parents, coaches and track teammates, my basketball teammates are my biggest supporters when I move in to track season. They are always out at the track supporting me and cheering me on. They definitely get me more pumped up when they are out there yelling and supporting me like they have all year.
Q - You have the unique perspective of competing for two different college coaches in head basketball coach Chris Carlson and head track coach Tony Salerno. Are there similarities in style and message? How do they make you better?
Ryan - Both coaches are always positive, which I believe is a very important aspect of coaching. They are encouraging, and while they will correct your mistakes, they always do it in a calm and positive manner. They are also both really easy to talk to and get along with, so it was easy for me to develop good relationships with them, something that makes it easier to be an athlete.
Q - Your father also ran track and played basketball in college and your brother plays football at the
Ryan - I feel that genes play a large role in my success as an athlete. However, I see myself as a very competitive person, and even at a young age I constantly pushed myself in everything that I did. I hated and still hate to lose and so I constantly push myself to make sure that it doesn't happen.
Q - Moving back to the NCAA Championships, do you know any of the competitors you will face and how do you see things shaping up?
Ryan - Throughout the year, I have competed several times against two of the competitors that are heading to Nationals, Desi Burt from
Q - You are the only UCSD male track athlete competing at the Championships while the squad has 15 female qualifiers. Will you be paying close attention to the competition on the women's side at the Championships?
Ryan - The girl's team is amazing. They have so many great athletes who have great chances of doing really well at Nationals. I know that when I compete they will be there to cheer me on and I will be there also to watch and cheer them on as they compete.
Q - Do you have predictions on the number of UCSD athletes who will be crowned track and field champions? Who do you see as favorites?
Ryan - It's hard to tell how many athletes will come out on top at Nationals. However, I feel that Whitney Johnson is probably one of our athletes who has the best chance of winning, and I'm sure she will set records along the way.
Q - How much trash do you get to talk as the only male athlete to qualify this season?
Ryan - I don't feel that I have any bragging rights because I am the only male athlete to qualify this year. Many of my teammates were really close and just narrowly missed qualifying for Nationals. I know all them worked really hard to make it to Nationals, so I would feel wrong talking trash to any of them.
Q - You hail from Jackson, Calif., near
Ryan -
Q - What are your favorite things about UCSD and about
Ryan - I love playing sports at UCSD and getting to know new people. My teammates, friends and coaches are awesome and I can't imagine it being any different.
Q - What is the best flavor of Gatorade?
Ryan - Fruit punch.
Q - Is there any track and field event you secretly would like to compete in?
Ryan - Being a jumper, I'm not one for running long distances, so I would have to say that I am pretty happy with the events that I do.
Q - And lastly, can you take basketball teammate Kelvin Kim one-on-one?
Ryan - I had to get Kelvin's input for this one, and he told me that if we were to play one-on-one, that he would post me up and drop step dunk on me. So, if he were able to do that, then he would definitely win. But I would have to see that in order to believe it.

It's sitting there. Under the tree. Resting next to the four-pack of argyle socks and seasons one and two of MacGyver. The bright yellow surface reflecting the twinkling lights, a couple spruce needles stuck to the edge.
It had been tucked in the bottom of my stocking, a stocking that had gotten buried under wrapping paper, boxes and half-popped bubble wrap. As numerous Hillside cousins, nieces, nephews, dogs and two random neighbor kids abandoned their gifts to play with the wadded up wrapping paper and discarded ribbons, the stocking appeared. I picked it up to rehang it on the mantle and felt the cylindrical object jammed in the toe, a yuletide toe jam if you will. I reached in the stocking and pulled out the small item and admired the Peanuts wrapping paper. That tree really did just need a little love.
I slowly unwrapped the last gift of the 2012 Christmas season and not much could have prepared me for what was enclosed by Charlie Brown, Linus and Lucy standing around their little tree. I couldn't have been more surprised if I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet, Eddie. In my hand I held what I initially thought was a Green Bay Packers hockey puck, but as I turned the item over in my hands, I realized I was the new owner of a roll of Green Bay Packers' duct tape.
I glanced around wondering who had given me this offering, but none of the Hillside clan seemed to be paying attention...which was fairly typical. I realized that this was the only piece of Packers paraphernalia I had received this year, which may have a been a sign from my family that I have reached green and gold capacity. I said, "thank you," to no one in particular, thinking someone would respond, and I could ask how they intended for me to use this Packers adorned duct tape. Unfortunately, kids went right on playing, dogs went on chasing each other around the tree, and adults went right on spreading good cheer next to the egg nog bowl. I flipped up the roll, caught it, and placed it under the tree.
Two days later, I still have not found out who had given me this gift. Resigning myself to the belief that it may have actually been Santa who inserted this into my stocking, I've moved on to finding uses for it. I'm fully aware that there are hundreds, if not thousands of uses for duct tape, but when you put the "G" on anything, be it shirts, socks, spatulas, garden gnomes, long johns, bathroom rugs, you have a responsibility to conduct yourself in a manner befitting the Packers' organization when using said item. Green Bay Packers duct tape cannot just be applied anywhere. There are rules. It must have a utilitarian purpose, but it must also be used in a decorative and boasting manner. It must be in full view of others, Packer fans and heathens alike, but it must not draw attention to some sort of embarrassing mishap like a pair of split trousers (Yes, I have witnessed torn trousers "fixed" with duct tape, don't pretend you haven't). So you see, this isn't just an easy stocking stuffer gift, this is a thought-provoking item, and it must be used pridefully, but also prudently and with respect.
As Hillsides slowly remove their presents from under the tree and make their way back to their hillsides of origin, I continue to ponder this Packers' duct tape usage. Then it occurred to me, there's nothing better than a gift that makes you think. Maybe that was Santa's intent the whole time.
Smart guy, that Claus.
PS - If anyone else received Packers' duct tape, let me know how you intend to use it. Unfortunately, I don't think it will repair your broken dreams of becoming a roadie for Def Leopard, it's not magic. Sorry.

Sweet Jesus! I though I was the only one who had been given such a gift. You are wise not to waste it on trivial matters. Packer duct tape is meant to repair national monuments or save small children, not to hold up the bumper on your crappy 1970 AMC Gremlin. Keep it safe. Trust that when the time comes, you will know how to use it.ReplyDelete
Think what MacGyver could have done with a rubber band, paper clip, AND a roll of Packer duct tape. Probably still be on the air.

Me too!! I love my new duct tape!! Way out her in CA we cheeseheads have to represent!!! I plan on using it for....something special. Until then, I will just look at it and smile...so many possibilities!!ReplyDelete
