CoachCal has been coaching for over 30 years. Not just focusing on athletes, but on individuals whose goals range from climbing Mount Everest to recapturing the power of active living.
Well duh! But when the sun shines on your while exercising, it is an entirely different stress! Secondly, I have to say this... every athlete present in Kona was elite. Elite age groupers sporting less than minimum body fat and just ripped! What a spectacle of amazing athletes.
Back in 1994 my final project for my Masters Degree investigated the relationship between swim, bike and run individual time trials equal to the distances in an Olympic triathlon and what happens to these performance when you link them together. I found that there was no significant difference in the performances when comparing the swim and bike.
Criticalspeed is pleased to offer a series of amazing camps and clinics throughout the year.
Push through a plateau and get to the next level in your endurance fitness.
Come train on the Ironman Coeur D'Alene course for 4 days.
Surfing, cycling and trail running in Maui, need we say more?
Join us May long weekend to experience the Ironman Canada course.
This Camp offers the ultimate opportunity for event specific coaching and on-course training.
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to take this time to thank all of you who came out to Janice's celebration of life. The formal proceedings were very well done but obviously sad. The saddest moments were watching their three young children and realizing that their mum would no longer be apart of their daily growth and memory. Her father's, Gary, tribute was touching and caring. Cameron's version of their short but wonderful life together was humorous and heart felt. Just weeks before the accident, a wise man visited Cam, Janice and their family.
He witnessed the love and happiness and needed to share his observation... he leaned over to Cam and whispered that "he had it all"....

BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD Programs: There is a 4 month commitment in each program. After the 4 month period, you are required to inform CriticalSpeed by email or phone of your discontinuation in the program. A 1 month advance notice is required when discontinuing the program. Failure to notify 1 month in advance will result in continued monthly charges for the access to the website coaching, CSR Updates by email and other benefits.
If for some reason you can not utilize this coaching and group support service due to injury, the service can be transferred or a credit can be given.
CSR offers unique programs that provide the most indoor coached group training in Calgary. The majority of athletes can swim and run any time of the year, but off season biking remains the difficult discipline to develop. For this reason, we offer 2 coached swim sessions per week and more focus on longer indoor rides, brick sessions and snowshoeing, along with outdoor running and track sessions.
No need to do weight training as after most group training sessions, we do a series of conditioning for strength and power development. CSR offers the perfect blend of weekly training with mini or HA camps and EPIC training camps necessary to build that training volume.

Between 500 and 600 youth wrestlers will be competing in the 26th annual Pontiac Kids Open beginning at 9 a.m. this Sunday in the Pontiac Township High School gymnasium.
Pontiac Wrestling Club coach Tom Lind said because it's the last tournament before Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation Regionals the following weekend, a lot of teams who have their kids entered in the IHSA state finals in Champaign will come to the tournament after the finals end to get some mat time.
"There is probably in excess of 35 teams that will be here," said Lind. "There are teams from all over Illinois. We have some kids in the Chicago area that come here and we also have some parents who grew up here who live way down by Edwardsville and they are bringing their boy here."
To Lind and the boys who come to the tournament, it's the Holiday Tournament of youth wrestling. In fact, Lind said many teams try to get into the event but can't because there is no room. In the gym, kids wrestle on four full-sized mats, which are broken up into a total of 10 areas where youngsters will be wrestling at the same time.
"There are a lot of coaches talking, a lot of boys coaxing their teammates and it does get loud," said Lind. "It's a hectic tournament and at the end of the day, I want to go home. It takes a lot of coordinated help from the parents and the sponsors, but the boys love it. We talk about this tournament at the beginning of the year."
Lind said this tournament has been going on since the early 70s. Although a wrestler can start as young as age 4, they are recommended to start wrestling around 6 years old and can be as old as 15 and enter the tournament. Due to all the teams waiting for their matches, there is not a lot of seating in the gym, but Lind said people in the community who have been around the sport of wrestling for many years enjoy coming and watching a few matches.
"Matches are run strictly by bout numbers. The wrestlers don't wait in a staging area, they have a number that gets called and they know they have to come out to the mat at that time. They just wait for their bout number to come up and then they get down there and are ready to wrestle as soon as possible," said Lind.
Johnny Lenox, Landon Dooley and Dakota Ackerman, who are planning to wrestle at the tournament, recently competed in the All Illinois Bantam State Championships, a tournament for wrestlers age 8 and under which took place on Feb. 10, at Bloom Trail High School, Chicago Heights. Lind said Dooley took fifth place, with a record of 3-1, losing only in his second match to the boy who won the tournament. Lenox was named consolation champion after losing his first match to the same boy that ended up winning the tournament, but he too won three matches, so he also went 3-1. Ackerman had a bye his first match and lost his next two, but because he is only a first-year wrestler, Lind said he showed promise as well.
"I expected Lenox and Dooley to place like they did," said Lind. "Those are very hard-working kids, so I expected placement and they did. Ackerman and his family were excited about going there. I told them the kids they would run into and they were up for the challenge — you can't take anything away from him either."
Gobs of grapplers expected
Between 500 and 600 youth wrestlers will be competing in the 26th annual Pontiac Kids Open beginning at 9 a.m. this Sunday in the Pontiac Township High School gymnasium.

Formed in 2002
Senior team using their extensive commercial experience to make a significant impact on behalf of charities
Launched Treeline CMS in 2003
Took the best elements of previous bespoke developments and launched a CMS that was affordable and competitive
Built an enviable client base
Unrivalled charity experience with local and international charities, Government departments, Arts Groups and Universities amongst clients
Expanded the business in 2008
Client base around the world serviced from core team in Manchester, the Midlands and London.
Treeline Software launched as a seperate business with its own R&D budget
Still passionate in 2012!
Passionate about communications. Passionate about the causes we work with. Passionate about technolgy properly used
Passion and pride
After a decade working at senior and board level in a some of the largest independent web agencies in the UK, Treeline's founders decided to bring their skills and passion together, have fun, and make great websites.
This meant turning our back on an enviable list of big name clients like Kodak, Lever Faberge, Apple and Intel, but we took with us valuable experience of how to develop highly creative, multi-lingual websites to fixed budgets, on-time and to maximise return on investment.
We chose to focus on a sector that faced challenges but excited us, and we started developing sites that got results for charities and not-for-profits.
Taking some clients with us, and quickly building up a portfolio of new clients,Treeline has paved the way in the charity sector with exciting websites, engaging campaigns and more than a bit of online innovation.
We've also developed a raft of tools that make even the most complex sites manageable and within the grasp of the smallest client.
The projects that kick started the change of direction were campaigns for ActionAid, Amnesty International and WWF International. Today over 50% of our business comes from abroad.
Throughout this site you'll find blogs with the practical advice we give all our clients. But every client is different. If you have a question, feel free to ask.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I dragged my friend Shannon to see see Race Across the Sky, the documentary about the Leadville Trail 100 race (okay not dragged- she volunteered). I knew next to nothing about the Race, just that Levi Leipheimer (I'm sure I'm never going to learn how to spell his name) had won it this year and that it was a mountain bike race! But all I really needed to know was that it was a documentary about cycling, two of my favorite things! And it didn't disappoint.
To start with, the scenery was beautiful and the cinematography was stunning. Then, the KILLER course makes for awesome race drama. The fact that it's a round trip course makes it even more brutal, as anything that was "easy" on the way out gets them on the way back.
Then, I was really struck by how much it resembled a road race. I don't know much about mountain bike racing and was surprised how much the tactics were similar to road racing (at least in this race)- the breakaways, working together to draft, attacking to develop gaps, etc. In addition, I had always thought of mountain biking as a solitary thing. And I guess by the time many reach the finish line, it's down to small groups. But for much of the race, it seemed like the majority of the racers were riding as one big group.

SAN LORENZO DE EL ESCORIAL, Spain — Some of the world's best musicians and singers have performed for the music-loving Pope Benedict XVI, but even he heard something special this morning in the courtyard of the Basilica of St. Lawrence.
At the end of his meeting with some 1,600 young religious women — most under 35 — he intoned the Lord's Prayer in Latin and the sisters joined in. The pope and his aides — all men — usually lead the singing when the pope is with a large group, but the papal aides drew back quickly and the pope lowered his volume, letting the sisters' fill the courtyard with their voices.

The 8-year-old daughter of a slain Palm Springs, California, police officer spoke today at a vigil for her father and his fellow officer, who were both killed in the line of duty, saying it wasn't her father's turn to die.
Interested in Police Shootings?Add Police Shootings as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Police Shootings news, video, and analysis from ABC News.
Officers Jose "Gil" Vega, 63, and Lesley Zerebny, 27, were fatally shot Saturday, Oct. 8, while responding to a domestic disturbance call at a home, police said. The Oct. 8 shooting also injured a third officer who was released from the hospital the next day.
Zerebny had just returned to duty after giving birth to her 4-month-old baby, officials said. She was married to a Riverside County sheriff's deputy.
Vega, a 35-year veteran of the Palm Springs Police Department, was working on an overtime unscheduled shift. A married father of eight, he was due to retire in December.
As Vega's soft-spoken 8-year-old daughter, Vanessa, spoke to a sea of uniformed officers and other mourners wearing blue, she said it wasn't her father's turn to die, but added, "he will be watching us -- he won't ever leave."
"Everything I learned was from him," she said, like baseball, karate and running.
"He was happy with his life," Vanessa said, adding, "He's in peace now."
California Gov. Jerry Brown and law enforcement officials from across the country were among the thousands of people at the memorial service.

Vega's stepdaughter, Andrea, also spoke at the service and read words from Vega's wife, Susanna: "Justice will be served. ... This is not going to be easy. It is only the beginning of our pain. For me, for my young daughter and many, many more people."
Vega's brother, Jose Hector Vega, said Vega, a training officer, "loved to be a cop" and "was a great cop."
He said Vega -- who was working on his day off the day he died -- died doing what he loved.
"He died happy and he would wish us all to live our lives happy also," he said.
Palm Springs Police detective Chris Jaeger spoke of Zerebny in an emotional speech, saying she was a "little sister" and one of his closest friends. He vowed to always be there for her husband, Zach, and baby daughter, Cora.
She was "an outstanding police officer" with a passion for the job, he said.
Zerebny tried every day to be the best she could be and her future as an officer was "limitless," he said.
"Lesley had an infectious smile and it was consistently present" and it "brightened your day," he added.
Jaeger said he remembers the excitement in Zerebny's voice when she told him that she and her husband Zach were having a baby, and "when Lesley became a mother, Cora was all she could talk about," he said. "Lesley was a wonderful mother. She loved Cora endlessly."
Jaeger said the young mother was "smart, tough and could not be intimidated."
"Lesley did not need protecting," he said. She was "fearless and persistent" in following her own path as a cop and in life.
Palm Springs police Lt. Mike Kovaleff said today "each member of the Palm Springs Police Department has evolved into a world-class hugger" in the wake of the officers' deaths.
"One way or another ... our lives have been touched by the lives of Gil and Lesley," Kovaleff said.
He said Vega and Zerebny "will live on" through the lives of their families and the Palm Springs Police Department "and all of our brothers and sisters in law enforcement will forever honor their lives."
Palm Springs Police Chief Bryan Reyes, who had said shortly after the shooting "I am awake in a nightmare," said at the service today that the threat to law enforcement throughout the country is "real" and no city is exempt.
Reyes called the man accused of shooting the officers the "subject," refusing to identify him by name, and he called the shootings an "assassination."
Reyes called the subject a "ticking time bomb," and he said people must "pay attention" to "red flags," saying law enforcement across country are "growing tired" of "this unacceptable behavior."
John Felix, 26, was arrested in connection with the shooting and is facing charges including murder, authorities said. Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin described it as an "ambush."
"This individual wanted to kill police officers," Hestrin said, according to ABC station KABC. "He attacked these officers for no reason other than that they were officers coming to a call."
Felix has pleaded not guilty.

Other ideas aren't so lucky. Do we instinctively see the
of e, or is it an abstract definition? Do we realize the
Cheap Shopping Online Very Cheap CAMP LACE Trainers red qdjeGB
of i, or is it an artificial, useless idea?
I still have to remind myself about the deeper meaning of e and i — which seems as absurd as "remembering" that a circle is round or what a cat looks like! It should be the natural insight we start with.
Missing the big picture drives me crazy: math is about ideas — formulas are just a way to express them. Once the central concept is clear, the equations snap into place. Here's a strategy that has helped me:Step 1: Find the central theme of a math concept. Step 2: Explain a property/fact using the theme. Step 3: Explore related properties using the same theme
Let's try it out.
Understanding the number e has been a major battle. e appears all of science, and has numerous definitions, yet rarely clicks in a natural way. Let's build some insight around this idea. The following section will have several equations, which are simply ways to describe ideas . Even if the equation is gibberish, there's a plain-english idea behind it.
Here's a few popular definitions of e:
The first step is to find a theme. Looking at e's history , it seems it has something to do with growth or interest rates. e was discovered when performing business calculations (not abstract mathematical conjectures) so "interest" (growth) is a possible theme.
Let's look at the first definition, in the upper left. The key jump, for me, was to realize how much this looked like the formula for compound interest. In fact, it is the interest formula when you compound 100% interest for 1 unit of time, compounding as fast as possible.
The article on e describes this interpretation.
Let's look at the second definition: an infinite series of terms, getting smaller and smaller. What could this be?
After noodling this over using the theme of "interest" we see this definitions shows the components of compound interest . Now, insights don't come instantly — this insight might strike after brainstorming "What could 1 + 1 + 1/2 + 1/6 + …" represent when talking about growth?"
Well, the first term (1 = 1/0!, remembering that 0! is 1) is your principal, the original amount. The next term (1 = 1/1!) is the "direct" interest you earned — 100% of 1. The next term (0.5 = 1/2!) is the amount of money your interest made ("2nd level interest"). The following term (.1666 = 1/3!) is your "3rd-level interest" — how much money your interest's interest earned!
Money earns money, which earns money, which earns money, and so on — the sequence separates out these contributions (read the article on e to see how Mr. Blue, Mr. Green Mr. Red grow independently). There's much more to say, but that's the "growth-focused" understanding of that idea.

More often than not, when a company builds a website, it is not designed with accessibility in mind. Over the past two years, questions have been raised about whether designing for easy access for persons with disabilities is required, but the fundamentals of web accessibility remain daunting.
Municipal utilities and public utility districts must build websites easily understood by consumers with vision, hearing, mental, physical and other types of disabilities. It's the law (see below). Electric cooperatives, though not technically required to follow suite, should probably do it, too.
But this is not a one-time upgrade. After all, we add new content to websites all the time. Keeping a website accessible takes time, maintenance and staff training.
One common mistake, the alt tag, quickly makes a site inaccessible for consumers with vision challenges if not handled carefully.
An alt tag—shorthand for an image's alternative attribute—lets you describe an image to people who are blind and use a screen reader. All modern content management systems should have the ability to add an alt tag to an image. Be sure to use the alt tag field, not the image title field. For folks who have a WordPress site designed by Ruralite Services,
Clearance Cheap Price Buy Cheap Pictures Adidas x Equipment Mesh LowTop Sneakers Cheap For Nice Sale Outlet 2018 Cheap Online YzSfdR7vbF
A picture can be worth a thousand words, but alt tags typically should not be more than 16 words. How do you know if you are describing an image properly?
The first step when picking the right alt tag for an image is to decide if the image conveys content or is purely decorative. If the content the image conveys is presented within text in the surrounding context of the image, an empty alt tag may suffice.
However, if you were reading the article to a blind person and would describe the image to him or her to explain the story, add that description as an alt tag. The exception would be if the image is captioned; if so, you typically do not need an alt tag. Screen readers will read the caption to the user. Having the same information for the alt tag may be redundant.
The alternative text for one image may be vastly different based on the context and surroundings of the image itself. Take, for instance, the following image:
If I was to give this image an alt tag, it could be, "Bonneville Dam view in Columbia River Gorge after forest fire. Hydroelectric power generation structures between Oregon and Washington."
Will you get sued if your description is not on to a tee? Unlikely, because this is generally a matter of opinion. There is no right or wrong answer.
Some images—charts, for example—provide content. Typically, these images need to have alt text that describes the text in the image exactly. You are essentially providing different content to someone based on his or her abilities. That, by definition, is segregation—a form of discrimination. An attorney could argue you are violating the web visitor's civil rights based on their disability.

Yankees 1B Berkman sore but ready to go in Game 6
By The Associated Press 4 hours, 29 minutes ago
New York first baseman Lance Berkman was still a little sore after that hard spill when he slipped in foul territory at Yankee Stadium in Game 5 of the AL championship series.
He was asked Thursday where he hurt the most.
"My rear," he said with emphasis. "That's it."
Berkman said he has seen a replay, and it was just as he experienced it on the slick track.
"I fell down hard," he said. "It didn't feel good."
But Berkman stayed in the game and will be in the starting lineup again for Game 6 against Texas on Friday night. He is starting at first base after the Yankees lost Mark Teixeira(notes) to a hamstring injury in Game 4.
"The fact that he took BP today and was out there made me feel pretty good," manager Joe Girardi said after the team's workout. "I'm sure he's sore. You don't fall that hard and not be sore. But I don't expect it to affect his play tomorrow. He'll be in there. Unless something happens overnight."
MAKING COMPARISONS: The World Series champion Chicago White Sox of 2005 were built on strong starting pitching and defense, not too much different from the San Francisco Giants this season.
Those White Sox played their share of close and meaningful games, just as the Giants did for the entire month of September. San Francisco clinched the NL West on the season's final day, beating rival San Diego.
Aaron Rowand has played on both clubs, winning a championship ring on Chicago's South Side five years ago along with current Giants teammate Juan Uribe. Rowand and Uribe could have a chance to do the same with San Francisco. The Giants haven't been to the World Series since falling six outs shy of a title against the Angels in 2002. And San Francisco hasn't won since coming West in 1958—the New York Giants captured the franchise's last World Series crown in 1954.
"It's pretty obvious in 2005 we relied heavily on our pitching and our defense. And I'd say if you looked at this squad this year, you'd probably say the same thing," said Rowand, one of the few playoff veterans in the Giants' clubhouse. "When you get to the postseason and everything rides on every pitch, and the pressure mounts, you have something to fall back on (from close games). You have that experience to fall back on. That played a big part in 2005 for our squad there, and I feel like that's played a big part in this season for this team."
How about comparing the managing styles of Ozzie Guillen and Bruce Bochy?
"I'm not going to touch that one," Rowand said with a chuckle.
WE MEET AGAIN?: Yankees ace CC Sabathia and Rangers lefty C.J. Wilson(notes) have already squared off twice in the AL championship series. They could share the mound again Friday night in Game 6.
Two days after starting Game 5, both are scheduled to throw bullpen sessions Friday. Instead, they could enter in relief if New York's Phil Hughes or Texas' Colby Lewis needs help.
"Our plan is, he's available tomorrow," New York manager Joe Girardi said about Sabathia. "Let's see how he feels tomorrow, but our plan is that he will be available for us."
The outing would be like old times for Wilson, who pitched out of the bullpen for several years before converting back to a starter this season.
"On a normal bullpen session, which I would throw tomorrow, I would normally throw 35-40 pitches and that's at like 80 to 90 percent intensity, so at 100 percent intensity with adrenaline I would have no problem throwing between 20 and 70 pitches," Wilson said.
Wilson also had a bit more insight on what went wrong for him in Game 5.
"I've had a blister on my (left index) finger all year, and it tore in the second inning yesterday," he said. "Good times. Blister juice on the ball. I was trying to adjust and everything went wrong."
Girardi also said he wouldn't hesitate to use closer Mariano Rivera or setup man Kerry Wood for two innings. The Yankees trail the best-of-seven series 3-2.
"I think that you have to manage it like there's no tomorrow," Girardi said. "Game 6, if we need him six outs, we need him six outs. I think that's what you have to do. If you need Woody six outs, you need Woody six outs. You worry about the next day the next day. For me, they are available as much as we need them."
PLAYOFF VETERAN: Phillies closer Brad Lidge understands he's one of the fortunate few to go to the postseason several times already.
Three of his teammates—Roy Halladay, Mike Sweeneyand Brian Schneider— waited a combined 40 seasons to finally get their chance.
Lidge won a World Series title two years ago with Philadelphia in one of the best seasons ever by a closer. He converted all 41 of his regular-season save chances and seven in as many tries during the postseason, including the World Series clincher against Tampa Bay.
"It makes you realize how fortunate and blessed you've been when you see other guys that have played as long as Sweeney and haven't gotten to the postseason," Lidge said. "Other guys, too—Brian Schneider and Roy Halladay. They've all been playing for 10 years or more and haven't had a chance."
The righty reliever was a World Series runner-up in 2005 with the Astros and again last year, when Philadelphia lost to the New York Yankees.
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, whose club faced a 3-1 deficit in the NL championship series Thursday night, emphasized how special a season it has been regardless of how it turns out. Two-time reigning NL champion Philadelphia owned the majors' best record at 97-65.
"That's one of the first pieces," Manuel said of the regular-season finish. "It's like a pie. It's like four pieces and we've got two of them. We're still working on a third one. If you don't reach a goal, I'm sure there's going to be disappointment. … You'd be taking away something from the players not to notice exactly the impact of our season."
PULL-UP PANTS: Expect to see New York Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher with his pants pulled up again in Game 6 of the ALCS.
"I felt like I finally just locked in there with the rest of the outfield," Swisher said Thursday, a day after playing with his pants falling just below his knee like Brett Gardner and Curtis Granderson, rather than all the way down to his ankle as usual.
Asked if it made a difference, Swisher responded with a chuckle.
"I guess so. I definitely have to try it out again," he said.
Swisher, who had to find a pair of long blue socks to change his look, scored twice and drove in a run in the Yankees' 7-2 victory in Game 5 that forced the series back to Texas with the Rangers up 3-2.
THRILLING WIN: Aaron Rowand and Aubrey Huff chatted once they arrived at AT&T Park on Thursday about just how great a game they took part in a night earlier. It was hard to comprehend how thrilling it was at the time.
The Giants beat the Phillies 6-5 on Juan Uribe's game-ending sacrifice fly to go up 3-1 in the NL championship series. After watching the highlights of the back-and-forth affair on television, Rowand got a better idea.
"It's definitely up there," Rowand said of the most memorable games in his 10-year big league career. "You don't really realize what kind of game that was during the game and even directly after the game. … You wake up in the morning and it kind of hits you what kind of game that was. But you can't be in the midst of the game going, 'Wow, this is a great game.' Because then you're not going to do all that well."
Giants manager Bruce Bochy insists it will probably be winter before he grasps what his team accomplished in Game 4, when Bochy made three double-switches. While the skipper spent a long while in his office afterward with general manager Brian Sabean and both of their families, there was still preparation for Thursday night's Game 5 on the mind.
"You put that game behind you," Bochy said. "And hopefully in the winter you have time to maybe reflect back on a great ballgame like we had last night."
STREAKY DEBUTS: Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus and outfielder Nelson Cruz have both hit safely in all 10 games so far in their postseason debuts.
They are the ninth and 10 players to open their postseason careers with double-digit hit streaks.
The only other set of teammates to accomplish that were Thurman Munson and Chris Chambliss for the New York Yankees from 1976-77. Munson had an 11-game hitting streak and Chambliss had a 10-game streak.
The record is held by Marquis Grissom, who hit in his first 15 postseason games for Atlanta from 1995-96.
RATING GAME: San Francisco's 6-5 victory over Philadelphia in Game 4 drew the highest rating for the National League championship series since St. Louis' Game 7 win at the New York Mets in 2006.
The Giants' win Monday night drew 9.27 million viewers on Fox.
In the AL, the Yankees' 7-2 win over Texas in Game 5 drew 6.1 million viewers for a 4:07 p.m. EDT start.

My experience with Thomas Jefferson has not been pleasant. I applied in October and never received any notification that my application had been received, let alone complete. I emailed the school a couple weeks ago asking for an update on if they've even received my application. I got no response. I finally called and the woman informed me they do not let applicants know if they have your application. The lack of communication from a school like TJ was discouraging, and they have definitely been deleted from my list (i applied due to location). This is purely my experience, just thought i'd throw in my .02
ABA is ABA and the person who has not received a notification yet, relax it's things like that which get blown way out of proportion. If you are really that concerned about your application call and they will tell you. Also when you apply it does not go directly to the school it takes weeks to go through LSAC before it even gets to the school.
but T-3 and T-4 schools are not going to live you destitute when you graduate.

Caught On Tape: Baltimore Police Beating Of Student In College Park, Maryland! (Student Seen Just Strolling By When Cops Jump Him)
"A Prince George's County, Maryland, police officer has been suspended, and prosecutors are investigating an incident -- caught on video -- in which officers wielding nightsticks beat a University of Maryland student, officials said Tuesday. Authorities also are looking into documents filed by police in the case that appear to contradict the video, Prince George's County police Lt. Andy Ellis said. The video was shot March 3 after the Maryland men's basketball team defeated Duke. In the video, students can be seen celebrating the win as officers in riot gear and on horseback are nearby. Some students are holding up their cellphones, taking pictures or video of the officers and the celebration." - CNN

Hi all,
First I'd like to say thank you, I have been reading this forum for a long time and have to say your football knowledge makes me feel like I'm talking to the Hawks front office, combined with the "special humor" that is bouncing around here, this forum is more than addicting.
I find myself checking this place at least 4 times a day (thanks guys, like I needed that) but I would not have it any other way.
I watched the kingdome being built, as I drove from west seattle to queen anne every day for school. And have followed this team through all it's highs and very lows.
I am very excited with our team, and when RW was selected in the draft, I told my wife (ladyhawk) he was going to be a superstar. I have been to the Tacoma draft party's the last couple years, and I'm sure to have talked to one or two of you.
When I figure out how to place a avatar, you'll see me post more often.
Thanks again guys and dolls, and Go Hawks

The Strong Interest Inventory is a carefully-constructed questionnaire that inquires about a respondent's level of interest in a wide range of familiar items. For each of the 317 items, the respondent is asked to indicate his or her preferences from among three response categories. The answers are then analyzed by computer to derive scores on measures of interest, called scales. The results are printed on a report called a profile, which presents the scale scores in an organized format and offers interpretive information. Although the profile is largely self-explanatory, it is helpful to have assistance from a professional in guiding the respondent to an understanding of the scores and an interpretation of the scores.
The Strong uses a person's responses to the items and compares his or her pattern of responses to the patterns of responses of people of different types and in different occupations. The results of this comparison allows us to make assumptions about whether that individual is likely to find satisfaction in the work typically done in a given occupation.
There is a wealth of information available in your Strong results. Understanding your profile will help you find career focus and begin your career exploration. Your Strong results can be used to help you identify the following:
The Strong does not measure your abilities. For example, while your results may suggest that you will like how engineers spend their day, the Strong does not tell you whether or not you have the mathematics aptitude needed to become an engineer.
The Strong is offered to enrolled members of Project Strive and is administered online at http://online.cpp.com/. Project Strive enrolled participants must have a password, which they can obtain from their Strive Advisor, to be able to access the Strong online assessment. For more information or to take the online administration of the Strong, contact your assigned Strive Advisor at 432-6068.

LOI trends and issues Part 1November 3rd, 2011
It may not be a particularly exciting "trend," but the number of applications made ineligible this year because one of the lead artists was already submitted on another grant was notable (about 7 percent of applications were affected; all parties were alerted immediately in these cases) and it led me to wonder if it wasn't simply negligence on the part of applicants (failing to read the guidelines) but some deeper issue at root — something that might be addressed by MAP or by the field in general.
MAP, like many other grant programs, restricts artists to one shot per grant cycle to ensure that our relatively limited funds (in comparison to the need) are as equitably distributed as possible.
That restriction gets aggravated (and aggravating, for busy artists) as resources shrink and the dependence on the few remaining funding source increases.
Another — happier — aggravating factor is the marked increase in the number of artists who self-produce projects. Over 10 years at MAP I've watched and been deeply encouraged by the growing sense of entitlement (a word I use very much as a compliment) among artists to make what they want, how and when they want to make it. I've also watched the sheer volume of projects seeking support skyrocket, just as available resources are going down. Those shifts are related, of course — the poor economy rightly inspires artistic responses, especially from those artists/citizens most immediately affected. But it nonetheless creates a complicated funding environment that can risk biting its own tail. Many of the ineligible-due-to-duplicate-artist cases this year were self-produced works coming from vibrant, smaller communities that share talents of necessity.
And then there's always technology to blame. This is particularly an issue where designers are concerned. MAP's restriction among duplicate artists extends only to what we call "lead" artists, those taking a generative role in the creation of the work; those without whom the work would not exist. It strikes me that five or ten years ago, fewer designers would have fit that definition than do today. Designers today have powerful new tools available to them. They are — brilliantly, critically, thrillingly — impacting performances in signature ways that can only be considered generative. They can also work remotely more easily than many other artists in the field, and therefore can have this authorial or co-authorial impact on numerous projects at once. It seems entirely wrong-headed that MAP might in any way stand in opposition to this activity.
Yet the question remains, how can we fairly and wisely distribute the dollars entrusted to us by our generous donors, The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, without restricting artists to one grant submission per year?
Or…maybe people just didn't read the guidelines.

Bazı Resimlerde Değişiklik Yap
Presupuesto $30-50 USD
Hi There,
I have 12 different handmade products (7 lamps / 3 flower pot / / 2 shelves /)
And I have a bunch of photos for each item, taken by a professional photographer at my house. What I need is MUCH MORE PROFESSIONAL looking images (as they had been taken in a photo-studio of some sort) for each item, to be published at my ONLINE STORE.
So what I need is an experienced photoshoper to:
1) find best possible pictures for each item (at least 5 photos per item from different angels)
2) edit them to the best possible degree (almost giving them a feeling that they had been photographed in a professional photo-studio. Of course no need for total "decupe" work but you might want to exercise some if you see the fit)
So, I need 12 (items) x 5 (pictures) = 60 edited photos at the end of the project.
I am sharing with you the link of my Flickr account, where all the raw pictures could be found:
Thank you,
There are a bunch of photos taken for each product. I am going to "suggest" which ones to work on for the most critical products. This way you know which pictures I would like to show case for each product. But of course you are the photoshop-pro! So if you feel like there are other pictures in the pool that fits better with photoshop editing (because of color, light...etc issues), you just let me know which pictures you want to work with and we decide together. Also there could be similar pictures with exactly the same angle (because I take almost same photo a few time) with better light, better ...whatever, you can use that instead of what I suggest ;)
1. Tall lamp (this is the tall lamp with a lot of stuff hanging from it...): 1 tall /1 close up / 1 tall (night) / 1 close up (night) / 1 base (night) (You will find night and day pictures of it. Please choose the most suitable ones in terms of photoshop editing)
2. Lamp hanging from branches:
14689966_10157551440220207_813042836_o – this is a very complicated picture. Please corp it to the best possible degree.
3. Lamp from pipelines
and one night view of this lamp
4. Lamp with Fisherman's mantrap
5. Lamp with Motorcycle
6. Round Shelf (Wall Hanging)
7. Flower Pot (beige)
8. Flower Pot (Blue)
There are so many other shots for this product. So please you choose the photos with less clutter in the background and with best light possible. And share them with me before you begin any editing.

Lossless JPEG
By hub, Saturday 2 June 2007 at 18:42 :: libopenraw
Last night I reached a new milestone in libopenraw: being able to decompress the RAW data from CR2 files using Lossless JPEG. The lazyweb has been helpful in finding code for it (libjpeg does not support it) code that I ported from old K&R to C++. I'm still not completely statisfied with the port but it works much better than my attempt to port some MIT-licensed Java code.
Above is the PGM I generated, that contain the RAW data, viewed in eog. The look is due to the fact that we have a GRBG 2x2 color filter array diplayed as a graymap, and that eog does sone dithering. This is the data I should be passing to the demosaicing code. The picture is one of the random sample I took from my own photo library, taken around the corner from where I was living in Montréal.
DNG support should come The code is in the git repository.

Liverpool have joined Chelsea in the chase for Newcastle's £25million-rated midfielder Cheick Tiote reports the Sunday Mirror.
The 25-year-old Ivorian international made his Magpies comeback in yesterday's goalless draw with Swansea, playing his first game for Alan Pardew's side since October 22.
Reds boss Kenny Dalglish is believed to have sent scouts to St James' Park to run the rule over Tiote ahead of an attempt to bring the tough-tackling African ace to Anfield in January.
However, Liverpool are likely to face competition for his signature, as Chelsea and Manchester United have also been credited with an interest in his services.
Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas remains the favourite to land a player who has long been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, but any hopes the Portuguese tactician may have had of agreeing a deal has now been dealt a blow amid reported interest from Liverpool.

Warren "Barney" Grove, s/o Robert Grove and Ella, born Wagner, and Bob at W. Moshannon, Clearfield Co, PA. Warren's grandmother was Bertha Wagner, daughter of Charles Michael Wagner, who the second husband of my great grandmother, Henreitta, nee. Hohnke. Reportedly, Robert Grove and Ella Wagner offerred to foster my father after the untimely death of my father's mother in the 1918 world-wide, infuenza epidemic. The Grove family had just lost a newborn son. However, my father's aunt, Mrs. Martha (Streich) Kramp, who was the brother of Otto Strike, refused to give up her nephew- she eventually adopted him. Otto had five other children to raise. In those days, I guess children, as in my father's tragic situation, were often fostered by other members of the family.

RIVER FALLS, Wis. – The University of Wisconsin-Platteville football team used a 28-0 halftime lead to cruise past UW-River Falls, 49-7, at Ramer Field on Sunday in River Falls, Wis.
The Pioneers improve to 5-0 and 2-0 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) for first time since 1976, while the Falcons fall to 0-5 and 0-2 in conference play.
UW-Platteville came out of the games firing on all cylinders and dominated the first quarter on both sides of the ball. On the opening possession of the game, senior quarterback John Kelly conducted an eight-play 70-yard touchdown drive. Sophomore Andrew Robinson intercepted the ball on the Falcons' first possession giving the Pioneer offense the ball on the UWRF's 28. Kelly capitalized on the UWRF miscue with a two-yard rushing touchdown putting the Pioneers up 14-0. The defense held the Falcons to just 28 yards of total offense in the opening quarter while UW-Platteville's offense produced 159 yards of total offense.
The Falcons finally got into Pioneer territory with just less than 10 minutes left in the half and their drive sputtered out on a third-down sack by Alex Schaefer and Evan Constant. A punt by UWRF's Will Jensen pinned the Pioneers on their own three-yard line. Kelly orchestrated a nine-play 97-yard touchdown drive, to go up 21-0. UW-Platteville then got the ball one last time with 54 seconds till halftime. A 38-yard run by Lee Vlasak put the Pioneers in Falcons territory and Vlasak capped the half off with a four-yard rushing touchdown, 28-0. UW-Platteville scored on four of its five first half possessions.
UWRF finally scored with 6:31 left in the third quarter but the Pioneers responded with a touchdown of their own in just over two minutes to go up 35-7. UW-Platteville made UWRF pay for another miscue, scoring one more time in the third-quarter and taking a 42-7 lead. An eight-yard touchdown pass from Bryce Corrigan to Quinn Buschbacher early in the fourth-quarter sealed the 49-7 victory.
Kelly ended the day with four passing touchdowns for a 379 yards. Senior Paul Reit caught 13 of Kelly's 41 passes for 193 yards and a touchdown. Fellow senior Ryley Bailey hauled in nine passes for 109 yards and a touchdown, while Trevor Whitehead had two of his three receptions go for touchdowns. Vlasak finished the afternoon with 80 yards rushing and Andy Puccini recorded 52 rushing yards on 10 carries.
Defensively, sophomore Andrew Belken recorded a game-high 12 tackles including two tackles for a loss, a sack, a forced fumble and a recovered fumble. Junior Jacob Zilbar totaled nine tackles whileYoel Wonsey recorded eight tackles with one for a one-yard loss.
UW-Platteville stays on the road, and travels to UW-Stevens Point on Oct. 19 with kickoff set for 2 p.m.

The jet stream brought Canadian air into the Midwest during July, along with record-setting temperatures.
The jet stream brought Canadian air into the Midwest during July, along with record-setting temperatures.
"It's going to come very close to, and maybe beating, July of 2009, which would make it the second-coolest July on record," said Pat Guinan, climatologist for University of Missouri Extension's commercial agriculture program.
According to Guinan, the preliminary numbers show last month's average statewide temperature was 72.7 degrees F, which is nearly 5 degrees below normal. He says the July 2009 average was 72.8 degrees F, so they are close. July 1950 is the coolest on record.
"Any time in the summertime when you have monthly departures of 5 degrees or higher, that's a notable thing," Guinan said.
"According to the National Weather Service weather stations, the lowest temperature for the month was 45 (degrees) F in Conception, in Nodaway County on July 4, and Salem in Dent County on July 17," he said.
For 2014, January through July ranks as the coolest seven-month period in 35 years, or since January-July 1979.
While July stayed on course with the year-and-a-half trend of a below-normal monthly temperatures, low precipitation continued the overall dry pattern that started last summer.
"We've only had a handful of months that have been above normal in the precipitation category," Guinan said. "There are parts of the state that are running of deficit of a foot or more since last summer."
Of course, there were regional differences in precipitation, he said.
"Northern parts of the state saw averages of 3-4 inches of rain in July, with localized parts of northeast Missouri going above 6 and even as much as 8 inches of rain for the month," Guinan said.
East central Missouri around St. Louis was dry, Guinan said. Some areas picked up less than an inch of rain for the entire month of July. The I-44 corridor down into south central Missouri saw little rain as well.
Lack of moisture in parts of the Show-Me State could create dire conditions for crops, lawns and gardens, but the cool weather helped keep drought problems at a minimum.
"In regard to agriculture, it's been very nice having a cool summer here in Missouri because that has lessened the vegetative stress," Guinan said. "Cooler temperatures mean lower evaporation rates."
For the homeowner, the cool July has meant lower energy bills because less air conditioning was needed.

A bedroom's decor doesn't have to be very complex in order to be charming and to look gorgeous. For example, check out this stylish blend on crisp white surfaces and solid wood portions. They highlight the room's architecture and keep the decor simple without allowing it to become monotonous.
It features this perfect combination of rustic warmth and modern simplicity which you can see here in this attic bedroom. The exposed beams stand out in a cozy way and the crisp white walls and the nightstands that light up give the room a sophisticated touch.

General Motors (NYSE:GM) is recalling 33,700 model-year Buick LaCrosse sedans and Cadillac SRX crossovers globally in an effort to fix a software problem that could cause the transmission to inadvertently shift, increasing the risk of a crash.
Continue Reading Below
Some 26,500 of those cars are being pulled back in the U.S., according to a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with the rest in nearby Canada and Mexico as well as the Middle East and China.
The Detroit automaker warns that the software glitch could cause the transmission to shift to Sport mode, which it says would remove any transmission-related engine braking effect.
"If engine braking is unexpectedly removed, it may increase the risk of a vehicle crash," the company said in the NHTSA filing.
GM said no crashes have been reported as a result of the issue.
The automaker will notify owners of the recall expected to begin on March 28. Dealers will reprogram the transmission control module free of charge.

Nine hundred kids get on and off the buses at the Lewiston-Porter Primary and Intermediate schools each day. Imagine kids jumping off buses, running and weaving toward the buildings with smaller ones caught in the frenzy.
Well, that does not happen at Lewiston-Porter. The ones making sure it doesn't happen are fifth graders.
They are the Safety Patrol.
"We began the program three years ago with 20 members," explained Jill Jaruszewski, coordinator of the program. "This year we have 112 students.
"They want to lead, they want to be involved and to be part of the process that helps others make safe choices," she says of the volunteers.
Among the 112 volunteers are students Justin Pavan, Gracie Auer, Willow Cutlip and Jessy Bunnell. They explained that they enjoy keeping their fellow students safe and their leadership role. "We go through training, write in a journal if a kid is being bad or not listening to the patrol," explained Willow.
"We write down their name and then talk to Mrs. Jaruszewski," she continued. "She talks to us about it and then we talk to that person."
The four went on to explain that the hardest part is having to ask a friend to observe the safety rules.
In order to make sure the experience from bus to building is safe, they ask children not to run, weave or push, and they also notice if students are wearing proper clothing.
"They've noted things like the wearing of flip flops in the snow or someone with no jacket on a cold day," said Jaruszewski. "They write it down and we discuss how we will handle it."
The patrol agreed that one of the best parts is helping the little kids.
One particular day, Willow found a little kindergartner who was upset because she missed her mom. Willow walked her from the bus to her building, making sure she was safe and feeling a little better.
Another time there was a bus with an oil spill and the Safety Patrol member was worried someone would slip, so they stood near the spill and guided the students around it.
Each rotation has captains that are assigned to oversee the entire bus loop. They walk from one end to the other making sure patrol members are in their correct locations and checking to see if they need any other assistance.
Their jobs don't just entail watching students coming and going.
"When the Safety Patrol is in place, we wave the buses to let the students off," said Gracie. "And at the end of the day, we wave the buses to leave when we know all the students are on."
"We also place the orange cones once the buses are parked so no cars can come in or out where the kids are going to be walking."
The Safety Patrol is the first off the bus in the morning. They go in and get their safety equipment, which includes their sash and journal, and they are the last to board the buses to go home.
"We are a little family," said Jaruszewski. "They see the little things and come up with ways to address the kids.
"And the difference in the way they speak to the younger kids versus their peer group is priceless. There are still pushers, but our goal is to help 900 children be safe going to and from the buses," said Jaruszewski. "It's a challenge."
The Safety Patrol also appears on the school newscast in both buildings and talk about being safe.
"Their leadership role at this age is valuable and they show that they want to make the safe choice," she continued.
A former Safety Patrol member, now in eighth grade, approached Jaruszewski and offered to come back and speak to the younger kids. His experience in the Safety Patrol has made him a leader on the student council and helped him make a career choice, that being in law enforcement.
"I didn't know it at the time, but he struggled (with safe choices) when he was younger," explained Jaruszewski.
"On the surface it looks like a fluff program," explained Intermediate Principal Andrew Auer. "But it has empowered these students and some of them that were the runners and weavers now see things from a different angle."
"We let anyone who signs up get an opportunity (to be on Safety Patrol)," said Auer.
"This has taken (on) a life of its own," said Jaruszewski. "The students lead it and have discussions. I don't go take care (of) a situation unless it's needed."
One of her captains last year made up stickers at home and handed them out to the students who were "being good," meaning following safety rules.
"They wore them proudly," said Jaruszewski.
"The Safety Patrol members aren't bossy or bully-like," she emphasized. "They know they have to follow the Intermediate School mission of being respectful, responsible and resourceful."
All fifth-graders are given the opportunity to join the patrol. They must get permission from their parents, they go through a training, which includes a video by the Automobile Association of America, receive a handbook and fill out a membership form, which is also signed by the parents.
And just for the comfort of all those reading this, there is adult supervision at the bus arrival and departure area as well.
