In a world of polished computers, the Raspberry Pi has arrived to remind us that, with nothing more than time, patience and an exposed circuit board, you can create almost anything. Here are a few of the projects RPi pioneers have devised over the past year.
You will need an RPi and SD card, a self-assembly Nixie Clock kit (or digital clock capable of accepting GPS or microcontroller data), a Wi-Fi dongle or ethernet cable.
Nixie tube clocks, with their neon digits, are popular with nostalgic electronics fans. One such enthusiast, Martin Oldfield, has built a clock that receives Network Time Protocol data from the internet via the RPi, and is accurate to ten-thousandths of a second. Online instructions: mjo.tc/atelier/2012/08/ntp-nixie. html
Difficulty: 4
You will need an RPi and SD card, and (for a voice-recognition robot) a USB robotic arm, a USB microphone, a USB hub and voice-recognition software such as Julius.
Robots are a talking point across the RPi forums. One precocious aerospace engineer has used an RPi to run a voice-recognition program and now has a robotic arm literally at his command, while another developer has built "Roberta", a highly sophisticated two-wheeled RPi robot who perpetually responds to gyroscopes to balance herself.
Difficulty 8-10
You will need an RPi and SD card, a home weather-station, a monitor and a USB cable.
Britain's amateur meteorologists are already using the RPi to process weather data, highlighting once again the immediate, perhaps unsurprising proclivity felt by the hobbyist community for the tiny computer. With the RPi, having a single computer dedicated to a weather station is neither extravagant nor physically awkward, and several tutorials already exist to explain the necessary coding to prepare a web-accessible, personalised weather forecast.
Difficulty 3
You will need an RPi and SD card, a powered USB hub, a USB rocket launcher.
This invention is designed to intimidate and humiliate co-workers who make mistakes while writing code. When set up in an office environment, the RPi detects errors in software development and automatically fires a foam missile at the offending employee. The program, nicknamed Retaliation, is described by its creator as working on "a deep psychological level to offer productivity improvements". Its credentials are listed online, with a video showing it in action.
Difficulty 4
You will need an RPi and SD card, an adapted power supply to run off a dashboard cigarette lighter or a battery pack and a small monitor.
It is said that Julian Assange used to travel with a desktop PC in his rucksack. He could have done with the RPi, which weighs 45g (1.6oz) and can be adapted to function as a portable or in-car computer. One motorist has already linked up his RPi to a nifty sliding screen, and several others are working on ways of accessorising their dashboards to incorporate RPi-run GPS and media systems.
Difficulty 2-7
You will need an RPi and SD card, a mini-speaker, a powered USB hub, a USB battery, various free media software.
The giddy hope of building an iPod replacement from an RPi has yet to be completely realised, but a French computer science lecturer named Tarek Ziadé has designed a portable, self-contained jukebox which can be controlled remotely from other computers. His website dispenses coding tips so the end product can run smoothly, and he has built a Lego case to contain the components.
Difficulty 7
You will need an RPi and SD card, a USB Wi-Fi adapter, various free media software, a battery-powered speaker and an Adafruit "Cobbler" (see glossary, right below).
The proliferation of internet radio stations allows those with even the most outlandish music tastes to find their fellows out there in cyberspace. One exhaustive blogger named contractorwolf has built a successful RPi radio which shuffles between his favourite stations at the touch of a button. Hearteningly, he had no experience of programming in Linux before he built his radio so there is hope for the rest of us.
Difficulty 6
You will need an RPi and SD card, a monitor, a cabinet to contain them, gaming software.
Shea Silverman of Florida has demonstrated his love of vintage video games by building an RPi into a miniature replica of an arcade game circa 1991, complete with a fully functioning version of Street Fighter II. Thousands of old arcade games have been preserved through an application called MAME, and Silverman's blog outlines how to install MAME on the RPi as well as some more recent games including Cave Story and Quake III.
Difficulty 3
You will need an RPi and SD card, a webcam with microphone, an ethernet cable or Wi-Fi dongle.
The keenest parents on the internet are scrambling to design the first RPi-powered baby monitor with a live audio and video stream so they can check on their offspring from the office. The most enterprising have suggested plugging the RPi into the TV, so if you hear a cry through the speaker, you can simply flip over to the "baby channel" rather than go all the way upstairs.
Difficulty 7
You will need an RPi and SD card, an Arduino, temperature sensors, a fridge, yeast, hops.
Making beer is a delicate process requiring vigilance and tenacity. During fermentation, if your beer slips one degree above or below the correct temperature, the whole batch will be spoiled and it's back to square one. Which is why a Dutchman named Elco Jacobs has designed an intricate program, run off the RPi, to detect the temperature of his nascent brews and automatically correct the temperature of his fridge accordingly. BrewPi is an open-source project so there is a website with in-depth instructions explaining how to adapt the RPi and build the program, which includes a function by which you can track the progress of your beer and even adapt the temperature over the internet. Jacobs himself has already set about creating his first computer-moderated beer, which he plans to name Raspbian Wheaty.
Difficulty 7
You will need an RPi and SD card, a Pi-Face (see glossary), 2 infrared LEDs and two light detectors, a small webcam and a wooden box with a compartment to contain the RPi.
The students and staff of the University of Manchester's Computer Science department, the Raspberry Pi's most innovative trailblazers, have designed a DIY nesting box which can photograph birds and amalgamate data relating to their behaviour. They have even written a function which can send you a tweet whenever a bird enters or leaves the box. Their online video shows the finished birdbox and explains how to power the RPi and the Pi-Face as well as providing them with internet access using only one ethernet cable.
Difficulty 5
You will need an RPi and SD card, a hydrogen balloon, a USB webcam, a GPS, a heatsink, a battery pack, permission from the Civil Aviation Authority.
As keen on puns as it is on programming, the RPi community has produced nothing so spectacular as the Pi in the Sky, a huge hydrogen balloon carrying an RPi to an altitude of 40,000 metres – a full kilometre higher than the top of Felix Baumgartner's Red Bull Stratos descent. Thanks to a webcam, it boasts the highest live images – picked up by receivers run by zealous enthusiasts all over the country – ever recorded during an unmanned amateur flight. Designed by Dave Akerman and friends, it was launched in Berkshire, and after its balloon burst at the edge of space, the RPi "safely landed in long grass" somewhere near Didcot. If the wiring and programming, itemised on Akerman's website, seem too dauntingly complex, the flight should at least illustrate the possibilities available to any RPi fanatics whimsical enough to pursue them.
Difficulty 9
Adafruit "Cobbler" A special printed circuit board with a ribbon cable, custom-designed to simplify the Raspberry Pi's otherwise fiddly and confusing hardware pins.
Arduino A microcontroller computer which, combined with the Raspberry Pi, allows you to control a wider range of hardware.
Heatsink A hardware component which helps cool the computer and keep it stable.
Linux A secure open-source operating system which runs on the RPi in a distribution package called Debian. A version of Debian called Raspbian has already been developed with modifications specific to the RPi.
Open-source Open-source software is software which is distributed with accessible and visible source code so that you can see how it works and even adapt it yourself.
Pi-Face:An interface chip designed by the University of Manchester to improve the RPi's auxiliary capabilities.
SD card The hard-drive of an RPi is provided by an SD card, which must be bought separately.
USB hub A splitter to turn the RPi's single USB port into as many as you need.

Dems stretch 'tea party' label in ads
Richard Tisei is an openly gay, pro-choice Republican running for Congress as a Massachusetts moderate.
You wouldn't know that from watching Democratic TV ads in his district, where he's being pegged as a tea party extremist who wants tax cuts for billionaires and plans to outlaw all abortions.
Story Continued Below
Democrats are using these types of attack ads against a handful of suburban, moderate Republicans, believing that in these crucial swing districts around the country, the "tea party" label may be enough to sink some of the most promising GOP congressional candidates.
Never mind that the attacks seem wholly disconnected from the actual records of the Republican candidates — Democrats believe the tea party brand is unpopular enough in major suburbs that they can take out a few candidates with a guilt-by-association strategy.
Listen to Democratic Rep. John Tierney's TV ad against Tisei: "The tea party Republican agenda. Outlaw abortion … Restrict birth control … Billionaire tax cuts … Middle-class tax hikes," adding: "Tea party Republicans and Richard Tisei… What it is … Is too extreme."
Tisei, in an interview, bristled at the attack.
"In the last 10 days, there have been eight different mail pieces sent out to people calling me a tea party extremist," Tisei said. "All I can say is I refused to sign the Grover Norquist pledge, I'm openly gay, I support gay marriage and I'm pro-choice."
Illinois Rep. Robert Dold, a freshman Republican from suburban Chicago who is among the most vulnerable incumbents in the country, is facing similar attacks. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee recently sent out a press release accusing Dold of being loyal to the tea party and has a page on its website headlined, "Tea Time with Congressman Robert Dold."
"I think if you look at what the DCCC is trying to do, [it] is an 'insert-here' campaign against anybody. They're trying to put everyone in lock step with the tea party," Dold told POLITICO, pointing to recent bipartisan legislation he's worked on as proof of his moderate bona fides. "I have never self-identified in that way."
And there's Nan Hayworth, a suburban New York City freshman Republican who is the subject of a new Democratic TV ad that casts her as a tea party soldier. "Some tea parties are nice. But Nan Hayworth's Washington tea party would roll back decades of progress for women," said the ad from House Majority PAC, a super PAC that is investing heavily in congressional races. "Nan Hayworth. Wrong kind of tea party."

Bellows Falls residents passionate to see Vilas Bridge rehabilitated
BELLOWS FALLS -- The Vilas Bridge was built around 1930 as a "Symbol of Friendship" between Vermont and New Hampshire.
So who would have guessed that more than 80 years later the structure stretching across the Connecticut River would be the source of a bitter controversy between the two states?
Residents of Bellows Falls, the village at one end of the bridge, are frustrated over what they see as broken promises from their eastern neighbors about maintenance of the structure, 93 percent of which is owned by New Hampshire.
The Vilas was closed to vehicular traffic in 2009, and residents are frustrated that plans to repair or replace it have been deferred. At the time it was closed, a reported average of 4,600 vehicles crossed the structure every day and village residents say businesses are suffering because the traffic from Walpole, N.H., has been cut off.
Rosemarri Roth, executive director of the Bellows Falls Downtown Development Alliance, said the bridge's closure is suffocating businesses in the village already struggling in a bruised economy.
"We here in Bellows Falls, most especially in the business and residential community, feel that loss dramatically -- the loss of that bridge. Why? Well, No. 1, it lessens the availability of businesses to come into Bellows Falls," she said. "We are a community that has been stuck with various deficiencies and hardships in the past, which were not of our own doing. This used to be a paper and textile town."
The village was once the paper-making capital of the United States, but eventually businesses such as International Paper started to leave and take chunks of the population with it. Roth said Bellows Falls underwent a tremendous transition in the 1950s and has since worked really hard to rebuild itself and bring back awareness of what it has to offer.
She said just about every type of business or service imaginable is available in the village.
The Vilas Bridge was originally scheduled for rehabilitation, but it was postponed until 2022. It recently was taken off the state's 10-year plan, much to the chagrin of Bellows Falls residents.
Out-of-towners entering the village from New Hampshire now cross the Arch Bridge and turn left if they want to go to The Square, the hub of activity in Bellows Falls. Roth said any vehicle could make an easy right turn to get downtown before the Vilas closed. She said that right-hand turn motivated and encouraged tourists and others to stop and eat lunch or pop in to local shops and spend money.
"Without that bridge, that doesn't happen as often," Roth said. "As far as the businesses are concerned, it's difficult enough because when you go across to New Hampshire, you don't pay sales tax. ... What makes it a little bit different is that we offer businesses and services that are otherwise not that close to Walpole.
"They are here in Bellows Falls, and we want to make it easy for them to come back over the Vilas Bridge," she continued.
More aggravating to Roth and others in the community is that they feel they have been slighted by New Hampshire, which they say has made promises about rehabilitating the bridge.
According to a 1993 letter from Charles O'Leary, the then-commissioner of the N.H. Department of Transportation, to Nancy C. Muller, then the director and state preservation officer for the N.H. Division of Historical Resources, the Vilas Bridge would be removed only under exceptional circumstances (natural disasters creating a serious safety hazard or another unforeseen situation).
But the 635-foot-long bridge was closed following a semi-annual inspection that found continued deterioration of the reinforced bridge deck, according to a statement released by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation in March 2009.
Just as frustration in Bellows Falls was escalating, a positive sign emerged from across the river.
The New Hampshire Preservation Alliance, at its annual meeting several weeks ago, named the Vilas to its Seven to Save list -- a collection of seven historic structures it is dedicated to restoring in the near future. The NHPA made the announcement at Pandora Mill in Manchester, N.H., with Rockingham Development Director Francis "Dutch" Walsh and three BFDDA members present.
According to the NHPA's website, Seven to Save was created in 2006 "to focus attention and resources on significant historic properties in New Hampshire that are threatened by neglect, deterioration, insufficient funds, inappropriate development, and/or insensitive public policy."
Walsh, a resident of Chesterfield, N.H., nominated the bridge because nominations could be submitted only by people living in New Hampshire. He previously told the Reformer he was nominating the Vilas to ensure it remains a priority with New Hampshire. He said he understands the bridge's importance in the village.
Roth said this was wonderful news for Bellows Falls and it was important to get the recognition from the Granite State.
Mark Sanborn, federal liaison to the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, spoke at the ceremony in Manchester. He told the Reformer his state is grateful for the local support the bridge project has received and said the government will be "as supportive as we can be within our state budgetary constraints."
Sanborn had been in attendance for a special meeting held in Rockingham Town Hall Lower Theatre months ago and had taken some sharp criticism from the Vermont public.
He told the Reformer the bridge has two special values -- historical and transportational.
Maggie Stier, a field service representative with the NHPA, said proper attention had to be given to the Vilas Bridge as soon as possible so repair costs don't continue to increase.
"It's a very important historic structure," Stier said. "We felt there was a great deal of support."
Roth agreed with that.
Stier added that the addition of the Vilas was a deliberate one. She said all metal truss bridges in the state were added to the Seven to Save list a few years ago.
Stier said the significance of resources of a structure or building and the degree of threat against it are considered before it makes onto the Seven to Save list. The positive results of being added must also be apparent, she said.
Being selected to the Seven to Save list came as a relief to many Bellows Falls business owners.
Lamont "Monti" Barnett owns The Rock and Hammer jewelry store in The Square and said any notion that the bridge's closure affects only Vermonters is a myth.
"It's not just for the benefit of downtown Bellows Falls. We've been in business for 23 years, and we have a well-established area of customers, and that includes people from Walpole, Alstead and Acworth," he said. "Even today, when they come in, the No. 1 complaint is that I hear from them is the problem they have getting across the bridge and turning left.
"I think, in general, the residents of New Hampshire don't like this bridge being closed," he went on to say. "It makes it very inconvenient to them."
He said he has been to several meetings with the NHDOT and said was consistently told there was not enough money to fix the Vilas.
Pat A. Fowler, the owner of the Village Booksellers in The Square, echoed Barnett's sentiments.
"I get a lot of complaints from my New Hampshire customers that they can't get here, that they couldn't make the left turn and they couldn't spend 15 minutes waiting on the bridge and they were nervous about doing it," she said. "It's just one more thing that makes it difficult for them. ... They're already making a commitment to us by paying 6 percent sales tax."
According to Roth, the bridge used to be a covered one and was once called The Tucker Toll Bridge. It was the first to span the Connecticut River. The bridge was reconstructed as an open-spandrel concrete arch bridge in 1930 and the roughly $67,000 to build it was donated by Charles S. Vilas, though he died before the project was completed.
Roth said the structure has many terrific attributes, such as its beauty and history. It was even placed on The National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Roth also said rock carvings from ancient Native American civilizations can be seen from it.
Some have suggested that Vermont should foot the bill for the bridge's rehabilitation, since its residents seem to be the most vocal proponents of it. Roth said she didn't think that would be a problem, if absolutely necessary.
"I do believe Vermont would be willing to work with New Hampshire financially to salvage this bridge. I believe if the right kinds of meetings were held ... if the right people would get together to make decisions, we would be able to have a project that could go forward," she said.
Roth said the economic development of towns on both sides of the river depend on it.
"We need that bridge back. We really need that bridge back and we really need New Hampshire to stand up to their promises made more than once," she said.

The Tao of Your Psychotherapy Practice: How to Best Serve Your Clients While Maximizing Your Professional Freedom
hi everyone,
i help authors publish and promote their works. the client for this project has written a 200 page book for fellow psychotherapists on how to effectively treat patients using concepts and practices found in the ancient practice of Aikido. thus the title "The Tao (way) of Your Psychotherapy Practice.
this will be a blind contest per the majority of designers' requests that i've received on previous contests. feedback will be provided as effectively and as often as possible.
Please note the following important things:
"Tao" - translated as the path, or the way, is popularly represented by the yin yang symbol.
"Aikido" is a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious beliefs. Aikido is often translated as "the Way of unifying (with) life energy" or as "the Way of harmonious spirit." Ueshiba's goal was to create an art that practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their attacker from injury.
Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker & redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on.
helping professionals and practitioners in psychology and psychotherapy.
Psychotherapy, or personal counseling with a psychotherapist, is an intentional interpersonal relationship used by trained psychotherapists to aid a client or patient in problems of living. It aims to increase the individual's sense of their own well-being.
Psychotherapy is often represented as a symbol through "Rorschach" which is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded & analyzed
the cover of this book needs to be contemporary but does not need to be 'edgy', as professionals in this arena can be found all over the "tradtional" spectrum. so contemporary but refined.
i encourage you to use the symbols mentioned above if you can...yin/yang, rorschach.

La JohnJoseph is a British born, American educated artist, who works at the intersection of artist film and live performance, investigating the convergence of social class, gender identity, and religious faith in the matrices of social power. A maker of contemporary relics, La JJ explores materiality as a conduit for the immaterial, they use personae to dismantle notions of fixity, and camp to usurp the natural. For the past five years, La JJ has also performed in the guise of their own "identical twin brother," Alexander Geist.
La JJ has presented performance work across the UK including the Royal Opera House, The Bristol Old Vic, HOME, and the Southbank Centre, as well as internationally, at MoMA (SF), Dixon Place (NY), Deutsche Oper and Martin-Gropius-Bau (Berlin), Fancy Him (Tokyo), La Java (Paris) and the Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói (Rio). They have contributed to group shows in Berlin, London and Manchester, and to literary anthologies in the UK and US.Download CV
La JohnJoseph is a writer whom Dazed calls one of the "literary rebels you need to know." Their writings reflect their central investigation of gender, sexuality, and memory, and cover contemporary art, cinema, and pop culture, with a special interest in classic Hollywood, and queer readings of the canon.
La JJ's first novel, "Everything Must Go" (ITNA Press, 2014) is a viciously absurd road trip across a psychedelic post-apocalyptic landscape. Likened to Cathy Acker and Ronald Firbanks, it was nominated for the LAMBDA Literary award for best Trans Fiction, as well as the Polari First Book Prize.
The author of five theatre pieces, including "Boy in a Dress", La JJ has also written one libretto, and keeps a blog as central part of their practice, documenting projects in development. A regular online contributor for iD, The Independent, Sleek, and The Guardian, their writings have also appeared in Time Out, Attitude, Amuse, Huffington Post, Siegessaule, Parterre de Rois, Out There, and the 'zines Birdsong, Fat Zine, 21st Century Queer Artists Identify Themselves, and Not Here. Their most recent contribution is the short story, "2D Joan's Dirty Money", which is part of the collection "Dark Habits" (forthcoming from Cornerhouse).

SEATTLE (AP) Washington picked the wrong time to go into a slide.
Losing three straight at any point of the Pac-12 Conference season is concerning. This skid by the Huskies (12-8, 4-3 Pac-12) could be even more damaging because of the schedule that lies ahead, beginning on Thursday night when they host No. 8 Arizona.
It would be one thing if Washington's nosedive came against the elite of the Pac-12. But the first two setbacks of the Huskies' three-game losing streak came against Utah and Oregon State, neither of which had a conference victory before beating Washington.
And while the Huskies played well before falling at No. 10 Oregon last Saturday, the slide leaves them little room for error going forward if they want to stay in the conference race.
``We need a good quality win, especially at home,'' Washington guard C.J. Wilcox said. ``We need to get this done now.''
For most of Lorenzo Romar's tenure as the Huskies coach, rebounding from losses to avoiding long losing streaks has been a strength. Since starting the Pac-10 season 0-5 in 2004 - followed by a dramatic turnaround that was capped with an NCAA bid - Washington has not lost more than four straight in any season.
But they will need an upset of Arizona to avoid their first four-game losing streak in nearly five years. The last time the Huskies dropped four straight was midway through the 2007-08 season when they were on their way to finishing the year with a losing record.
It's been a dramatic turn for Washington just in the span of the past two weeks. The Huskies went from leaders of the Pac-12 to suddenly facing a daunting task which if not handled well could leave the Huskies looking at postseason options that don't include the NCAA or NIT tournaments.
After hosting Arizona, the Huskies host surging Arizona State, then hit the road for the Los Angeles schools before coming home to face Pac-12 leader Oregon on Feb. 13.
``It's a big week. We see it as must wins for ourselves,'' Washington guard Abdul Gaddy said. ``We need to come out and play with great intensity.''
The Huskies' slump came on the heels of a stunning start to conference play where Washington started 4-0 with three of the victories coming on the road. That quick start was due mostly to the Huskies defense that has become a liability in the three losses that followed.
After beating Colorado at home on Jan. 16, Washington was allowing just 56 points per game in conference play. In the last three games, they are giving up 76 and allowed the last three teams to shoot nearly 55 percent.
``I think our mentality is a lot of it,'' Wilcox said. ``We came out with energy against Oregon but the games before I don't know what it was. I don't think we took them lightly but that's kind of how we came out and we had to play from behind and we're not really good at doing that. So we have to jump on teams early.''
If nothing else, the matchup with Arizona should be entertaining. Only twice in the past 10 meetings has the game been decided by more than 10 points and three of the last four matchups have provided at least one unforgettable moment.
During the 2011 regular season in Tucson, Derrick Williams came across the lane to block Darnell Gant's game-winning shot attempt in the final seconds of Arizona's victory. Later that season in the Pac-10 tournament championship game, Isaiah Thomas hit a step-back 20-footer as time expired in overtime to give the Huskies a 77-75 win. And last season in Tucson, Washington's Tony Wroten blocked Josiah Turner's attempt at a tying layup as time expired to give the Huskies a 69-67 win.
Thursday night will be the first time a ranked opponent has stepped foot inside the Huskies' home gym since Texas A&M in December 2009.
``We need to play at our highest level,'' Romar said, ``and we need the crowd to be at its highest level. And I know what that highest level is like.''

Over the course of a year, Eliza De Pardo and Dan Inveen, principals at consulting and research firm FA Insight, have co-authored a series of Investment Advisor articles dissecting the results of their study "Growth by Design." Following the firm's inaugural study, "People and Pay," the 2010 study moves from people practices to a special focus on two other important leading indicators of firm performance–marketing and operations.
These two functions have important implications for how, or whether, firms grow. A firm needs a strong marketing capability to attract clients, while a strong operational capability ensures the firm can efficiently serve increasing numbers of clients.
While advisory firms are optimistic about their ability to grow, De Pardo and Inveen wonder what the industry has really learned from recent events. Under favorable market conditions, growth comes with relative ease for most firms, but the economic downturn revealed weaknesses where the old ways of doing business proved inadequate. Are firms making the necessary changes that will bolster growth under more challenging conditions?
Click through the following pages to read the entire series.
Ready to Grow Again, October 2010
In 2009, revenues dropped 9.5% and operating profit shrank seven percentage points to an 11% margin for the typical independent advisory firm, according to the second annual FA Insight study of advisory firms. The contraction was brought about by the once-in-a-generation market collapse of late 2008 and early 2009, during which advisors strained to counsel anxious clients while simultaneously managing costs to preserve profitability.
In contrast, firms were ready to grow in 2010. Revenue was on the rise. Advisors, having proved their value during a challenging time, strengthened client relationships and positioned themselves to acquire more of them. Significant hiring was expected to take place for the first time since 2007, with the typical firm planning to increase from five to six in staff size.
Read more from the October 2010 issue of Investment Advisor.
The Necessity of Growth, February 2011
For the typical advisory firm, revenue and profitability stabilized in 2010 and, in many cases, returned to familiar and very comfortable pre-2008 levels. Stronger financial markets are no doubt making life easier for firm owners, but will these market improvements lure advisors back into a state of complacency?
The defining moment has arrived for firm owners. You can be pulled along with recovering financial markets and risk being dragged backward during the next inevitable market downturn. Alternatively, you can learn from the recent tough times, shore up business vulnerabilities and drive growth strategically to achieve more sustainable business performance. In its 2010 "Growth by Design" study of advisory firms, FA Insight is unequivocal. Prioritizing the strategic pursuit of growth will diffuse the impact of future market downturns on firm performance, as well as help to maximize firm value.

RIA Operations: Structure Capacity to Meet Demand, April 2011
To grow sustainably over an extended period of time, any business must consistently deliver to the needs of its target clients. This is particularly true of advisory firms. While growth requires a capable business development function, creating a fertile environment for growth further requires that, once new business is won, the firm is able to service its clients in a manner that keeps pace with client expectations.
Operations relates to a firm's ability to efficiently and effectively manage the various processes, people and systems that interact to deliver valued client outcomes. How a firm structures and manages its operations is essential for delivering on the firm's value proposition in order to retain target clients and attract more like them. A strong operational capability ensures the firm can efficiently and effectively service increasing numbers of clients. A properly structured and maintained operational capability will cater to the client experience in addition to realizing efficiencies and controlling costs.

Define and Conquer—Marketing Strategically to Achieve Growth, August 2011
In 2010, research and consulting firm FA Insight released The 2010 FA Insight Study of Advisory Firms: Growth by Design, exploring two fundamental leading indicators of firm growth: operations and marketing. Following the market decline of 2008 and 2009, the study reported that advisory firms were ready to grow again in 2010 with increased expectations for staff hiring levels and stronger forecasts for growth in assets and revenue alike. Preliminary results from FA Insight's 2011 survey indicate these expectations became reality, with assets, revenue, clients and staff all up markedly in 2010 relative to recent years.
The question for advisory firms now is, "Will the renewal of growth be sustained through the pursuit of a deliberate growth strategy or put at risk because of a more complacent strategy that mimics security market performance?"

We're getting used to Fiat constantly trying to sell the 500 with sex, but for the bigger 500L, they went further and involved the whole family. Except for dad.
Europe is full of beautiful mountains full of long, dark tunnels. The inside of a Fiat 500L "feels like an airy, spacious place, especially if you splurge for the big panoramic glass roof."
Put the two together, and Fiat's latest ad titled 'Date' suggests you'll end up with more than you bargained for.

The Central Connecticut volleyball team earned a three set victory over Robert Morris on Saturday afternoon. The Blue Devils (12-7, 3-2 NEC) captured the sets 25-22, 25-14 and 25-22 from the Colonials (3-17, 2-3 NEC).
The Blue Devils trailed 22-18 late in the third set, but rebounded and rolled off seven straight points to take the game and the match.

Lommori also led the team with 34 assists.
The victory gives CCSU a three match winning streak and a perfect 6-0 mark at home this season.

Baltimore wide receiver Anquan Boldin has been a playoff difference maker, catching 16 passes for 276 yards and three touchdowns through three postseason wins. But Sunday's Super Bowl may be his last game in a Ravens uniform due to Baltimore's forthcoming salary cap issues.
ESPN's Adam Schefter stated on NFL Live Thursday that the Ravens currently project to be $5 million over the 2013 salary cap. And that's before they address quarterback Joe Flacco's contract situation, which at the very least will involve applying a $14.6 million franchise tag. At that point, Baltimore would soar to nearly $20 million over the cap.
The Ravens will soon face some difficult decisions, one being the future of Boldin. Releasing Boldin would free up $5.5 million in cap space, and Schefter said it "very well" may happen.
Cutting fellow receiver Jacoby Jones would create another $3.5 million in cap room.
Schefter also stated that Baltimore's cap woes could cost the franchise an opportunity to re-sign impending free agent linebacker Paul Kruger. Kruger has been the Ravens' best pass rusher this season. If Kruger hit the market, he'd be the top available "rush linebacker" in 2013 free agency.

Scholarship Enables Computer Programmers to Earn Master's Degree in Journalism
By: Press Release | Northwestern University
EVANSTON, Ill. — The Washington Post will be the first news industry partner in a scholarship program enabling computer programmers to earn a master's degree in journalism at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications followed by a paid internship at the prestigious newspaper.
The Washington Post joins the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation in supporting the scholarship program, which has allowed nine people with computer programming backgrounds to earn a master of science in journalism degree since 2008. All nine are now working in jobs that allow them to apply their understanding of both journalism and computer science.
"Programmers who understand journalism offer a unique skillset that is an essential part of building new tools and features that can benefit both readers and reporters," said Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, editor for strategic projects at The Post. "Two examples of this innovative work include The Post's I Voted news app and The Grid, which enhanced our coverage of the presidential election last year."
"As a journalist who works with developers on a regular basis, I know how incredibly valuable this dual understanding can be in the newsroom," said Mitch Rubin, Washington Post sports production editor, who will assist in administering the program.
With the combined support of the Knight Foundation and The Post, computer programmers will receive financial aid covering the full cost of tuition in Medill's 12-month MSJ program. In addition, after graduation, scholarship winners will be guaranteed a paid internship at The Post.
"I am very pleased that The Washington Post is our first partner in this innovative program with Medill and the Knight Foundation," said Brad Hamm, dean of Medill. "We appreciate their entrepreneurial spirit, and we look forward to working with additional news organizations to join us in making this investment in the future of journalism."
Northwestern and The Post announced the new partnership at the Computation + Journalism Symposium (http://computation-and-journalism.com/symposium2013/) at Georgia Institute of Technology. The symposium, which brings together journalists and computer scientists to explore interdisciplinary projects, ends today (Feb. 1).
The initial Knight Foundation grant of $639,000 in 2007 provided tuition assistance for developers studying journalism at Medill but did not include the participation of industry partners. The industry partnership program added this year is intended to further increase interest in journalism among computer programmers.
Among previous scholarship winners are Brian Boyer, who directs the news applications team at National Public Radio; Ryan Mark, director of digital product strategy and development at Chicago Tribune Media Group; Manya Gupta, Web technical editor for theworld.org; Steven Melendez of the data news team at WNYC, public radio station in New York; and Shane Shifflett, data engineer at the Center for Investigative Reporting.

ROCKFORD - Kody R. Walsh, 24, is heard but not seen in a short video clip he apparently recorded on an iPhone while leading authorities on a high-speed, roughly 20-mile chase down Route 251 from South Beloit to Rockford.
Like a nightmarish scene from a violent action movie, the dead body of Lori A. Daniels, 36, of Wisconsin, a mother of two, is belted in the seat next to him.
Jurors on Friday at Walsh's first-degree murder trial were shown the roughly 20-second video that was recorded in the early morning of Sept. 9, 2012. It's not clear whether Walsh is speaking to himself or perhaps someone on another phone during the surreal clip.
Walsh drove his friend's green Ford Explorer at speeds that at times reached 100 mph in an effort to escape, police said.
Walsh is heard cursing and then marvels at how pursuing police had him brightly "lit up."
And he calls out, apparently to pursuing police who couldn't possibly hear him: "You . . . ain't slick!"
Walsh has pleaded not guilty to charges that include first-degree murder and attempted murder. Winnebago County Assistant Public Defender Nick Zimmmerman argued that another man was the one who actually shot and killed Daniels but presented little or no evidence to back the claim.
Closing arguments are expected Monday morning.
But in the early morning hours of Sept. 9, 2012, Walsh was trying desperately to flee from authorities.
Walsh drove south in the stolen Ford on the northbound side of Route 251, but police paralleled his route on the correct side of the road. Walsh drove around stop sticks deployed by Winnebago County Sheriff's Police.
At one point in the chase, Walsh drove off-road up a grassy embankment at a Rockford dead-end. Police counted 16 stop signs Walsh blew past without stopping. And Walsh drove the wrong way down one-way Church Street during the chase.
South Beloit Police Officer James Sanders was first in line behind Walsh throughout the pursuit. Eventually Walsh was unable to navigate a turn onto Springfield Avenue from School Street and crashed.
Sanders and another officer kept their lights on the Ford and Walsh. At gunpoint, the police ordered Walsh to get out of the SUV. Instead, he slumped down, crawled over Daniels's body and out the passenger-side door.
In footage captured by a police dashboard camera, Walsh is seen running from the vehicle.
Sanders said that Walsh ran toward a Winnebago County building that can't be seen in the dash cam video.
Without breaking stride, Walsh pulled a gun from his waistband, looked back over his shoulder at the officers and fired with his right hand, Sanders testified.
The video shows Sanders and Rockton Police Officer Matthew Janowski suddenly duck for cover. That's when Walsh fired, Sanders said. And by the time Sanders tried to return the gunfire, Walsh had disappeared behind a building, he testified.
"He was looking right at me and fired a round off," said Sanders, adding that he saw the muzzle flash, heard the discharge and felt the bullet "whiz" past him.
Walsh's lawyers attempted to undermine the testimony by emphasizing that no shell casing was found in the field where Walsh escaped. They also questioned how Sanders could positively identify Walsh in the dark.
But Sanders is the second police officer this week to identify Walsh, pointing at him and describing his clothes in court, as the man who opened fire on them.

I have an graph with the following attributes:
- Undirected
- Not weighted
- Each vertex has a minimum of 2 and maximum of 6 edges connected to it.
- Vertex count will be < 100
- Graph is static and no vertices/edges can be added/removed or edited.
I'm looking for all subgraphs between a random subset of the vertices (at least 2).
I've created a (warning! programmer art) animated gif to illustrate what i'm trying to achieve: http://imgur.com/mGVlX.gif
My end goal is to have a set of subgraphs that allow moving from one of the subset vertices (blue nodes) and reach any of the other subset vertices (blue nodes).

For the longest time (or at least since The Departed made it famous), Jonathan Papelbon has been entering to the bagpipes-and-guitars opening riff of the Dropkick Murphys' "I'm Shipping Up To Boston." It made sense. The song is instantly recognizable, catchy, and it's about Boston.
But Paps is no longer about Boston. He's a Philly guy now, and Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey would like to let Papelbon know that he's no longer welcome to the song.
"He can't use 'Shipping Up To Boston,'" Casey said. "That's a Boston song. One of the Philadelphia radio guys suggested 'Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya.'"
"And I have to get with the new Sox closer [Andrew Bailey] to let him know he can use 'Shipping Up To Boston,'" Casey adds. "That's not Pap's song. That's the closer's song."
That's funny, because it's actually Woody Guthrie's song, and he's an Oklahoman who found fame in New York, and can't he just use "Hell's Bells" or "Enter Sandman" like every other closer does anyway?
UPDATE: We spoke with Casey. He'd like to clarify.

La Superma
By Realoldnavy on Wednesday, December 20, 2017Looked at the field and was completely blown away by Stelvio. It has an amazing build, fun to drive, and handles like a sportscar. In fact, I was looking at Gulia and see very little difference in handling between it and Stelvio. It has all the safety features you can want, and great performance- a winning combination. Have had no new car glitches and runs well city or on the road. The lack of Apple or Android is my only disappointment. It will be available later this year. Should have waited but I would have missed the fun having it now. .

Powerful, responsive, rare and seductive - Love it
By Bob on Thursday, September 26, 2019Have owned my Ti for 3 weeks now and my initial lust hasn't subsided. This SUV is really fun to drive - quick, powerful and responsive - and beautiful to behold. My cream leather cockpit is handsome, well designed, unpretentious and comfortable. The curves of its emerald green exterior are seductive. I especially love the fact that, unlike its peers (BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Lexus), the Alfa is a rare bird indeed. Only negative I have found is limited rear window visibility, but I am happy to sacrifice that for style and the back up camera and cross traffic warning system compensate very well. While its sticker was comparable to its better known peers, the dealership was more willing to deal and I think I got great value. Super warrantee.

Best Driving Sports SUV Ever
By N8 on Wednesday, March 07, 2018If you want a sports car but have kids and need some utility, this is the SUV for you. It is so athletic and so fun to drive, I can not wait to get into the thing. Its 280 hp turbo charged 4 has everything. 25 mpg if you need it, 0-60 in 5.4 if you need it. It is so versatile. It is on the smaller side but it fits 4 adults easily and has enough room for luggage in the back. Highly recommend. This car is a beast. I have a Stelvio Sport with 20 wheels.

Baltimore Ravens survive San Francisco 49ers rally to win Super Bowl XLVII
Could it really end any other way?
Did Ray Lewis' last ride deserve anything less?
The defining defensive player of his generation needed one last-gasp stop to go out a champion.
The Ravens defense obliged.
In a goal-line stand that will go down as one of the greats in Super Bowl history, the Ravens held, forcing a fourth-down incompletion and escaping the Superdome with a 34-31 Super Bowl XLVII victory for the franchise's second NFL title.
It was far from easy.
The Ravens nearly blew a 22-point lead, but never trailed. They had their momentum sapped by a freak blackout that stopped play for a half-hour early in the second half.
But they survived.
The Ravens survived because they rattled Colin Kaepernick after he had been so unflappable for so long. On fourth-and-goal from the 5 with the Niners needing a touchdown, Baltimore brought pressure up the middle, hurrying Kaepernick's throw that never had a chance.
As the ball fell to earth, so did the Ravens defense, full of emotion after nearly blowing the biggest lead in NFL history.
"It's simple," Lewis said. "When God is for you, who can be against you? It's no greater way as a champ, to go out on your last ride, than the men I went out with. Baltimore, Baltimore, we're coming home baby!"
They got just enough offense early and defense late to survive four consecutive San Francisco scoring possessions.
On the final night of the Lewis' sterling career, Joe Flacco was the best player on his team.
As for his Ravens? They're the best football team on the planet.
Flacco was 22 of 33 for 287 yards and three touchdowns — all coming in the first half. He was named the game's Most Valuable Player.
"We don't make it easy," Flacco said. "That's the way the city of Baltimore is. That's the way we are. We did this for them."
Anquan Boldin went for 104 yards on six catches and had a score. The Ravens forced two first-half turnovers, including an interception by former University of Miami star Ed Reed.
They needed every bit of it.
They had just gone ahead 28-6 on a 108-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Jacoby Jones — the longest play in Super Bowl history — when the power went out for 34 minutes, sapping all semblance of momentum.
When the lights came back on, Kaepernick lit it up. The Niners scored the game's next 17 points — including a 31-yard pass from the second-year quarterback to Michael Crabtree and a 6-yard Frank Gore run — all in a span of 4 minutes 14 seconds.
Kaepernick made the Ravens sweat late, racing 15 yards to the end zone early in the fourth quarter. But he misfired on the two-point conversion, keeping the Ravens ahead.
Justin Tucker's 38-yard field goal stretched Baltimore's lead to five points and forced the Niners to need a touchdown to win. They didn't. Baltimore took an intentional safety with just seconds remaining, and when the Ravens brought down former Dolphin Ted Ginn Jr. on the ensuing free kick, it was finally over.
In the battle of the Harbaughs, John bested little brother Jim.
On shaking hands with his brother, John said: "The hardest thing I've ever done. I told him I loved him."
Said Jim Harbaugh: "We want to handle this with class and grace. We had several opportunities in the game. Didn't play our best game."
Still, Kaepernick alone was nearly enough. In just his 10th NFL start, he completed 16 of 28 passes for 302 yards and ran for 62 more on seven carries.
Crabtree and Vernon Davis both had more than 100 yards receiving, Coral Gables' Gore rushed for 110 yards on 19 carries, and the Niners gashed Baltimore for 468 yards.
Yet they needed 5 more.
Despite having first-and-goal from the 7 and Kaepernick shredding the Ravens with his legs, the Niners didn't have him scramble once.
And the Ravens defense, which carried the franchise to its first world championship in 2000, made one final stop for its leader.
The evening couldn't have started better for the Ravens. After a defensive three-and-out to open the game, Baltimore took over near midfield. Six plays later, the Ravens were in the end zone.
Boldin, lining up in the slot, blew past linebacker NaVorro Bowman and hauled in 13-yard touchdown pass from Flacco, giving Baltimore an early 7-0 lead.
It was a lead the Ravens would never surrender.
Lewis is a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and MVP of Super Bowl XXXV. But his skills in recent years have diminished, and he announced before the postseason that this would be his last ride.

Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association president Farooq Abdullah has ordered an inquiry into the Ranji team selection fiasco a day after JKCA treasurer Manzoor Wazir had tendered his resignation for failing to end the impasse.
Wazir had dispatched his resignation to Abdullah on Friday, stating that he made every possible effort to ease things out between JKCA and Kashmiri players over the issue of team selection and captaincy, but all his efforts went in vain.
Sensing the gravity of the matter, JKCA chief has decided to constitute a committee comprising senior board officials to investigate the entire episode.
"JKCA president Farooq Abdullah has taken this issue very seriously and shall shortly constitute a committee of senior officials to inquire into the matter," said Ranjit Kalra, chairman of JKCA's media committee.
He also stated that JKCA president is yet to accept Wazir's resignation.
Sources disclosed that Wazir tendered his resignation after coming to know that some JKCA officials have bargained the selection of Jammu players in the team over Kashmiri players.
But member of JKCA provincial committee, Meh**** Iqbal has denied any such theory.
"9 players from Kashmir and 7 players from Jammu were selected for the match that is presently going on in Guwahati," he said.

We guarantee this video of Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson singing a karaoke duet is going to make your Monday ten times better!
There have been plenty of rumours about Katy and Rob having a thing for each other over the last couple of months, but forget all that because this vintage video from 2008 just shows that the pair have been close pals for years and are not afraid to celebrate that by hitting the karaoke booth together.
Apparently out celebrating a mutual friend's birthday, Katy and Rob did what any self-respecting popstar and professional vampire would do and got up for a rendition of Boys II Men's I'll Make Love To You.
Our favorite part is probably when Katy decides her stool is too high and chucks herself on Rob's lap instead--but watch and see for yourself. We promise it's the best thing your eyes will do all day--and that includes looking at 452 pictures of puppies in Halloween costumes.
Did this video make you LOL? Would you want a Katy and R-Patz duet on your iPod? Sound off in the comments!

Beats all its rival in Luxury, Style and Safety
By HKVC on Monday, May 07, 2018I researched and compared: 1) 2018 Audi Q5 Prestige (test drove); 2) 2018 BMW X3 xDrive30i, M Sport design, Executive Tier (test drove); 3) 2018 Volvo XC60 T5 Inscription (test drove); 4) 2018 Mercedes GLC300 Fully loaded. Subjectively, I think no car come close to the high tech, simplistic and elegant interior design of XC60. Quality is top notch: soft-touch material everywhere, comfy/supportive seats with soft leather, heat/ventilation and even massage! (Probably the biggest) panoramic moonroof that extend to slightly behind rear passenger. As an audiophile, the B&W option is a must. None of the other three candidates is in even comparable. I love the exterior design, but this is subjective. Also, I think its established that Volvo is synonymous to safety so I wont waste time talking about this. My wife and I love how the ride is tuned with comfort in mind. I think enthusiast will prefer X3 and Q5. But for us, this is a family car so comfort is THE priority. If a sporty drive is what you are looking for, I do recommend X3 or Macan. After basically went through all youtube reviews and website articles, and personally test drove these SUVs, I narrowed down to a fully loaded Q5 Prestige (~56,400 before fees and tax) and fully loaded XC60 T5 Inscription (59,355 before fees and tax). I dare say you wont make any mistake if you choose either one. As much as I want the bragging right of owning a luxury German car, the modern interior/exterior styling, luxury design/material and safety features of XC60 is just the more rational choice for me and my family. Absolutely no regret =)

Windows rattle, moonroof leaks
By Volvo Rattles on Friday, September 20, 2019My wife and I purchased a new Volvo XC60 (factory order) and took possession of it in November 2018. Since that time, my wife has noted multiple issues with the vehicle that made her extremely dissatisfied with the vehicle overall. The windows rattle when up or partially down. The moonroof leaks and has permanently stained the roof upholstery. The controls on the infotainment system do not work, and no fix has been supplied for almost a year. The visor connection snapped off with normal and infrequent use. We are intent on selling this vehicle and never owning a Volvo again.

Swedish brilliance
By Tom on Thursday, January 03, 2019I've owned my Volvo XC60 since September of 2017 and it's been an awesome time. It lives up to its reputation of being Safe, Reliable, and Stylish (it turns heads!). It has a very attractive exterior body, and a very pleasing interior, nothing can outweigh the stereo and infotainment system. The seats are the highest grade of comfort, and the trunk provides much room as well as a large rear window for visibility. Overall, I've totaled 12,000 miles, 3 out of state trips, and have driven many of my friends and family in this car, and these times are irreplaceable. Unfortunately, because the family's having trouble with money and house payments, we've decided to trade it in and get an older 2011 Volvo C30 that will be more affordable. I definitely would love to keep this car, but I'm at least glad the Volvo C30 is not too much different in terms of style and performance than the Volvo XC60. Highly recommend, but before purchasing, make sure you have the money, the gas isn't expensive, but the asking price can be a little overwhelming, especially if you loan or lease!

Brief guide to running an ultramarathon
I was just out to lunch with some of my dear friends from Hartland, WI. Spending time with "normal" women does wonders in terms of putting my life half dedicated to exercise and running in perspective. As you can see, I'm actually wearing running clothing to lunch. Well, I believe in packing very light, so it's the only stuff I brought. Though none of them could fathom why anyone would willingly run 50 miles, they at least acted curious (like good friends do). I'll admit my life is quite unbalanced, BUT I could not contain my excitement and happiness as I described the sport and thought about the upcoming race on Saturday.
Hells Hills will be my 7th ultra, so I thought I could write a little summary of what I've learned for those interested in running an ultra. For those who have run many more, speak up, if you find anything I say egregious. It is actually quite amazing how little you need to know to enjoy such a long endeavor.
About a month before a 50 miler, I try to run one 26 miler fairly fast. Anything more than this risks injury too much. I find the more ultras I have run total, the better my next ultra goes. I don't know if this is due to mental or physical advantage, though probably both.
I also think training to be fast at shorter distances is advantageous in longer races because of the muscle base one builds.
Yoga helps build core muscles and balance, plus prevents injury. I just heard some ladies at the gym here in the US complaining of chronic hip problems while running. Knock on wood, I haven't had any hip problems since I've gotten serious about yoga and varied my exercise routine. And that's in the face of more intense running.
Pre-race food and nutrition:
The week before the race is not a good time to lose weight. One burns through energy quickly in an ultra. But you don't want to gain weight either as that's just extra weight to lug around.
Having a diverse diet including protein can only be a benefit. One does not need to eat a lot of meat to achieve a healthy amount of protein. There are many good sources of protein. The ones I prefer are fish, grains, legumes, nuts, eggs, cheese. (Devon Crosby Helms would disagree and recommends eating meat. Here is her well-written post).
Supplements: you don't need supplementation if you do not have an underlying physical condition requiring them. Eat a diverse diet including omega 3 fatty acids and supplements just can't improve your performance. If you are pregnant, take folate. If you get next to no sunlight (but what runners do?), take vit. D, especially if you are a darker-pigmented person. If you are post-menopausal, take calcium and vitamin D. It's that simple. (Read Steve Q's post on Vit B6, if you would like some detailed info on that supplement.)
What to wear
Clothing that prevents chafing! I have made the mistake of running two ultras in just a sports bra and the chafing marks from my water bottle belt in 2008 are still visible on my back (luckily, I adore scars like this). If it's really hot, you never know where you will chafe, so buy breathable tight-fitting clothing. No cotton allowed except in underwear and socks. Maybe nobody out there wears cotton underwear like me, but I'm always a "little behind" in that department.
Shoes. Go with the old faithful. They should be shoes you've worn many times. I have read way too many race reports with shoe malfunctions.
I also bing: ipod, garmin, and ibuprofen, a PPI (I sadly take these on a daily basis for my stomach) and a little food in my pocket.
Oh, yeah, and don't forget suntan lotion - I did that at Voyageur last year. I've never worn sunglasses because they give me headaches.
And something to carry fluid in. I wear a belt with a water bottle. I have worn a camel-back, but find it too heavy and awkward to take out to refill.
Fueling during the race
Fluid: Replace the fluid and salt you lose! It is nearly impossible to overdose on ingested salt. In physiology I once asked what would happen if a person ate an entire salt lick and the answer is a temporary increase in blood pressure. But you also need to drink fluid along with the salt to avoid dehydration (so yes, I guess if you don't drink water with the salt you can overdose in a sense). Try to keep yourself urinating. But beware, you can also overdose on water. I usually fill my water bottle with half water half sports drink, but never drink water alone. Water alone also starts to taste badly at some point. The stress of the race, even without the sweating, drives down the sodium in our blood, so it's best to make an effort to get sodium. If it were really hot, I'd take a salt tab (though I've yet to try one) and/or eat salty foods at the aid stations.
Food: eat small amount of calorie-rich food throughout the race. I made the mistake at the Angel Island 50k of eating a small dinner the night before and then hardly eating anything during the race. Oh, and I was breastfeeding. I absolutely crashed at about 26 miles. There IS a difference between a marathon and an ultra! Let me just add I have never and would never eat Gu/gel. Not because I think it's dangerous. It just disgusts me. There goes another sponsorship.
Drop bag:
bandaids (the only thing I've used)
extra clothing
extra shoes
extra socks
(I think drop bags become more important in 100 milers, but I wouldn't know first hand)
What did I forget?
Running the race:
My three good pointers are: 1. on most hills I walk the first 3/4 and run that last 1/4. 2. wear a garmin 3. run with a group, if possible.
The family is waking up now, so gotta get going!

When are you signing up for 100? There's one in Oregon in September that I think Olga is signed up for and I'm considering. I know you have your plans set for the year but just something to consider :-)

OK, miss hype-up.
Pre-race food: as usual. don't eat spicy food though, or you spend visiting bushes more than you'd like to, and there aren't many bushes here. don't carboload either - see above.
Training: i'd take high mileage over speed any day when training for an ultra. read WS100 synchroblog posts by Hal Koerner, Craig Thornley, Meghan A. and AJW - in today's discussion there was a question about cross-training. Those folks know what they are talking about. Yoga is good addition, no question. But not a substitute. Unless you're a natural talent. But even then think how much more of a talant you would be.
What to wear: what worked before. I don't care of the shoes are not broken in if I had proved to myself thiese shoes work for me out of box. Drymax socks - you'll get a pair as a gift. No sunblock - who cares?
Fueling: whatever works for you. Easy to carry. Aim at 300 cal/hour. You CAN overhydrate and over-salt. You can also UNDER. Experience helps.
Drop-bag: that food that you like to use. Nothing else for a 50.
Race: patience and pacing. 'naugh said.

Oooh, Danni. Sounds really really tempting and wonderful. If not that one, I'll get around to it at some point.
Olga, I love the advice. This is just what I was hoping for. I had to slightly change what I said about salt after your comment and also after thinking about it more this morning. I'll check out the hile mileage posts after the race. I just don't want to start thinking my training was all wrong now.

Hi May-Britt! How fun writing to you in English! Well, I took Ibuprofen the last two days of the Trans-Alpine and it made big difference. But I know what you mean that if you need pain killers during a one-day race, you probably should stop running. I will still probably keep putting a couple in my pocket anyway.

When EMR/EHR implementation fails, many are quick to point fingers at the operating system itself, and make rash conclusions that all health IT is inherently "bad," destined for failure. However, technology may not be the only thing at fault here. Human variables can strongly influence the success or failure of EMR/EHR implementation. The most common of these human variables is neglecting to complete a thorough practice/medical facility cultural and operational assessment prior to EMR/EHR selection and implementation.

Israel has launched at least 10 airstrikes in response to rocket and mortar fire from Gaza.
One hit the backyard of a mosque and killed a 10-year-old boy, Palestinian officials said.
Several injured and bleeding people were seen being taken to Gaza City's Shifa hospital.
Elsewhere in the city, worshippers gathered for Friday prayers outside a mosque that was recently destroyed by an airstrike.
In Israel, two people were hurt by rocket fire, police said.
The army said a civilian was moderately injured and a soldier was slightly injured in the incident.
It is not clear if the renewed fighting will derail the Cairo talks, which are aimed at reaching a sustainable truce, or if Egyptian mediators can find a way to prevent further escalation.
Israeli government spokesman, Mark Regev insisted that Israel will not negotiate under fire.
"When Hamas launched rockets and mortar shells at Israel, they broke the premise of the talk and there will not be negotiations under fire," Regev said.
Hamas officials said that even though they refused to extend the three-day cease-fire, they were willing to continue negotiations.
Both Israel and Hamas are under international pressure to reach a deal.
As part of such an arrangement, Israel wants to see Hamas disarmed or prevented from re-arming, while Hamas demands Gaza's borders be opened.
No progress was reported in all-night talks that ended before dawn Friday.

On June 28, 1997, Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight champion of the world, fought against Evander Holyfield in Las Vegas. That fight was immortalized when, in the 3rd round, Tyson bit off a big chunk of his opponents ear and then spit it out on the ring floor.
Now, 16 years later and near the anniversary of the infamous boxing match, folks are apparently still trying to get the best of their foes by assaulting the ear.
Sarasota cops responded to battery report at a park where they met with a 38-year-old woman who was suffering from a severe bite to her left ear, according to a news release from the Sarasota Police Department.
The woman allegedly told officers that she and Kesha Taylor, 32, had been feuding over a phone when the dispute turned physical.
Taylor is charged with Felony Aggravated Battery for biting the ear intentionally or knowingly causing great bodily harm, permanent disability or permanent disfigurement.
Some folks are all ears when it comes to disputes.
Gainesville: Woman bit off part of another woman's ear, cops say
Man bit wife's ear in birthday fight at Hollywood casino, cops say
Immokalee: Man bit off ear during fight, deputies say

April 20, 2007
WORCESTER, Mass. - MIT's varsity heavyweight crew defeated Williams College, Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Connecticut College on a wind-whipped Lake Quinsigamond to bring the Donahue Cup back to Cambridge. Williams, a Division III rowing powerhouse, had captured the cup from the Engineers in 2006 and delivered a staunch test for the Cardinal and Gray that resulted in an incredibly tight finish.
After upending MIT last spring, Williams had no intention of letting the Engineers reclaim series bragging rights. The Ephs started fast, taking two seats on MIT in the first 400 meters. The Engineers stopped the Williams push, and the two crews held their positions for the next 1000 meters, leaving WPI and Connecticut College well behind.
In the third 500, MIT drew even, then, with 500 meters to go, raised its rate and pulled ahead by four seats. Williams sprinted back and closed hard on the Tech crew, but it was too late as MIT crossed the line one second ahead.
MIT finished with a time of 5:54.7, while the Ephs rowed 5:55.94. WPI finished third in the varsity eight race, while the Camels completed the circuit in a distant fourth to round out the field.
MIT also entered a freshman eight in Worcester which finished second overall after a clip of 6:26. Williams grabbed the top spot in the rookie race with a mark of 6:18.6.

Subscribe To Pacific Rim Sells Enough Tickets Online To Give Us Hope It Won't Flop After All Updates
I've already subscribed
If you're convinced that Hollywood will never make big-budget original films again, you hardly need better evidence than the word so far on this weekend's Pacific Rim, which has been predicted to make barely an eighth of its $175 million budget when it opens in North America this weekend. But if you're excited about Pacific Rim, and think your moviegoing dollars can help change its outcome… you're right. And you might already be helping.
Fandango, the online ticket seller you and I both inevitably wind up visiting ahead of big blockbuster releases, says that Pacific Rim is beating opening weekend competition Grown Ups 2 on its "Fanticipation" meter-- whatever that means. More importantly, it's making up 60% of the site's ticket sales, which means that people are already grabbing up their tickets and planning their weekends around Pacific Rim. And they're drawing a comparison to another summer release that was predicted to failure only to rally at the last moment; Pacific Rim is selling more tickets at this point in its pre-release than World War Z was at the same time. That Brad Pitt vehicle was facing down mountains of bad buzz before it opened, only to surprise everyone with a $66 million opening. That's more than twice what today's projections had for Pacific Rim… but who says miracles can't happen twice?
Despite our mixed-to-negative review, we would have to be monsters-- excuse us, kaiju-- not to be rooting for Pacific Rim to succeed this weekend, helping prove that not every big movie has to be based on a comic book or toy or TV show or board game or whatever else. Guillermo del Toro is one of the most ambitious filmmakers working today, and as he continues to talk about future projects like At The Mountains Of Madness and Crimson Peak, we want him to have all the power he can get to make those visions happen. Plus, anyone who goes to see Grown Ups 2 instead of Pacific Rim is an enemy of all things good about the movies. Buy those Pacific Rim tickets! Get those hopes up! Guillermo del Toro and his army of fighting robots are counting on you.
