Since there is almost no way to see everything at the annual Interbike trade show, in our wrap-up we're just talking about the interesting bikes and gear that caught our eye as we walked the convention hall floor or the Outdoor Demo. Check out our photo album on Facebook for even more shots from the show, and if you missed Part 1 of our wrap-up, you can find it here.
When we visited the Outdoor Demo at Interbike, the bikes we really wanted to check out were the new carbon mountain bikes from Devinci – they've updated their entire lineup, from the World Cup winning Wilson downhill bike, to the nimble 29er Atlas to the super fun Dixon all-mountain 26″ ride. We had a blast testing out their new bikes, and even got suspension designer Dave Weagle to break down the 2013 lineup for us:
And since he was hanging out, we even got Dave to explain how Devinci's patented Split Pivot rear suspension works, and what makes it great:
While we're talking bikes, Fuji has a great lineup of road, mountain and cyclocross bikes on tap for next year, with updated graphics and components. One of our favorites was this gorgeous 13.2 pound Altamira road bike with Oval components tubular wheels:
This new Outland 29er mountain bike also caught our eye, with its flashy paintjob and short rear chainstays, for great handling:
One of Fuji's most interesting new bikes was this Altamira CX Disc model, featuring cable-actuated disc brakes – almost every bike manufacturer featured either a cross or road bike with disc brakes:
Giro was at Interbike with an updated 2013 lineup, but their new Air Attack helmet was drawing lots of attention. Its aero shape may look odd, but Giro designers claim that it is almost as efficient at cooling your head as their standard helmets, yet almost as efficient aerodynamically as their time trial helmets:
Meanwhile their new Empire shoes are all about style, adjustability and fit – laces are back, and they've never looked so good:
Pearl Izumi was busy at Interbike showing off their Project X mountain bike shoes, which are as colorful as they are well thought-out. The heart of these new shoes is the sole, which features a flexible carbon shank embedded in the bonded outsole.
This shank is designed to be stiff while pedaling, for maximum efficiency, while still retaining sufficient flex for comfortable walking – a great combination for cyclocross or mountain biking:
Louis Garneau debuted their lightweight Course lineup of shoes, helmets and clothing at Interbike – including this great-looking new helmet and Boa lace-closure cycling shoe:
Louis Garneau won a design award for this Course vest, which features a gripper hem and open back panel so that you can reach in your back jersey pockets – one of those "why didn't anyone think of that before" moments:
Ergon was on hand with new grips and packs, but their most interesting new gear was this intriguing CF3 Pro Carbon seatpost. It is designed to act as a leaf spring to absorb shock while riding – and it's intended for use on the road:
And finally, just to show that even the hottest new trend has been tried before, check out this pair of 650B (or 27.5″) mountain bikes from Ritchey – the one on the left is their latest and greatest creation, while the one on the right is Ritchey's first foray into the 650B world… from 1977!

Advertising Standards slap down BT complaint
Sky's 'free' offer gets thumbs-up
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has rejected a complaint made by BT against BSkyB's "free" broadband campaign last year.
BT complained to watchdogs that Sky falsely advertised its broadband offering as "free", since customers had to pay a £40 connection fee. Sky rolled out the service in summer last year, soon after TalkTalk had caused a rumpus with the first "free" broadband offer. In that case the ASA ruled against the advertiser.
The ASA disagreed with BT's misgivings, and accepted Sky's explanation that its direct marketing campaign was not misleading, since the connection charge was spelled out on the back of the mailing in small print.
The ASA said it in this case it had reminded Sky that it was only allowed to call its broadband "free" for a while, since customers would soon view it as an inclusive service rather than a bonus. Since it launched its "See, Speak, Surf" package in January, Sky has instead marketed broadband as part of a triple play bundle.
The regulators have come in for consumer criticism lately for alleged soft treatment of broadband providers. A petition is calling on the government or Ofcom to act against "unlimited" download claims and other tricksy marketing practices.
In response to Wednesday's adjudication, a BT spokesman told The Register: "We would welcome clearer advertising from Sky."
BT now finds itself in a similar position to Virgin Media, competing with Sky on several fronts. The national telco recently launched its own pay TV platform, BT Vision, while Sky now offers own-brand broadband and home phone services.
There hasn't always been needle between BT and Sky. In 2002 they signed an accord which saw Sky punt broadband to its TV subscribers, and BT market satellite TV. The mutual back-scratching was a response to resurgent competition from cable operators. ®

Margaret Thatcher was a woman of iron -- with a wicked sense of humor
The similarities between Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan are remarkable. Together they made an invaluable team that changed the course of history at a critical period.
Both were strong leaders who were not afraid to swim against the tide of easy popularity and unconcerned when their adherence to principle was dismissed as 'simplistic' by people who thought themselves more sophisticated.
Neither came from a privileged background, and both understood the people whom they were leading.
Both were strongly -- some said stubbornly -- principled, but flexible when it made sense to be, most notably in recognizing early in Mikhail Gorbachev a potential partner that they "could do business with," as the Iron Lady famously put it.
Both led dramatic turnarounds in the economic fortunes of their countries, after inheriting economies that were in near-crisis. And most importantly, together they helped bring about the end of the Cold War, a transformation in international relations that gives them a permanent place in world history.
But Margaret Thatcher was no mere carbon copy of her American counterpart; and it wasn't only the fact that she was a woman, leading formidably in a male-dominated arena.
She also wasn't the leader of a superpower. But under her leadership Britain punched far above its weight.
One of her finest moments came when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands. A weaker leader might have dismissed the effort to liberate a seemingly insignificant territory 8,000 miles away as militarily hopeless and politically imprudent.
Acting largely on her own, but fortunately with the strong backing of President Reagan, Mrs. Thatcher reversed Argentina's act of aggression. As she said to President George H.W. Bush on the occasion of receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, "The decision to use force is not easy to take. . . . Like you, Mr. President, I hate violence. And there's only one thing I hate even more -- giving in to violence. . . . The sanction of force must not be left to tyrants who have no moral scruples about its use."
Her action also led to the Argentine people removing their own military dictators, the first of a wave of peaceful democratic transitions in Latin America over the next ten years that quietly transformed the region.
I was fortunate to be able to accompany President George H.W. Bush to NATO's first post Cold War summit. I remember Prime Minister Thatcher opening that meeting in London on July 5, 1990, saying with irony that was missed by some, "We are at a turning point in Europe's history, a turning point which is as full of promise as was 1919 and 1945." Her own deep sense of history told her to be cautious about assuming that the end of a great conflict, even one as long and momentous as the Cold War, meant the end of all conflict.
That caution proved prescient less than a month later, on August 2, when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait.
By a fortunate accident, the President and the Prime Minister were both attending a conference in Aspen and they came to an agreement -- as President Bush put it a few days later -- that this aggression "must not stand."
It is commonly but mistakenly said that it was on this occasion that Mrs. Thatcher cautioned the American President not "to go wobbly." In fact, that comment was made in the context of a very tactical question of whether to stop and board one of the first oil tankers coming out of Iraq.
On the larger strategic question of whether Saddam's aggression had to be reversed and Kuwait liberated, I never saw President Bush's resolve waver. But it certainly helped him to have such a stalwart person leading our closest ally.
Where Mrs. Thatcher's influence might have made an historic difference was when it was sorely missing. With her leadership challenged by members of her own party -- partly over her reluctance to join the European Exchange Rate Mechanism -- she was forced to resign as Prime Minister on November 28, 1990. As a result, she was no longer involved when the ceasefire suspending hostilities with Iraq was prematurely concluded after the 100-hour ground offensive of Desert Storm.
On the first anniversary of the invasion she said that Iraq should have been forced to "hand over Saddam Hussein for international trial as a condition of a Gulf War ceasefire. I think it would have been possible to have got that . . . because I think the Iraqis would have had no alternative." A few years later she told an interviewer that the war had been "stopped, rather too soon" and that the long-term lesson was to "complete the task to which you put your hand." She didn't think "that it was necessary to go onto Baghdad," but the failure to thoroughly defeat the dictator and to abandon the Shia and the Kurds had been a mistake.
Although Thatcher was characteristically gracious, acknowledging that she was commenting on deliberations "to which I was not privy" and that there "may have been some confusion about the information they were getting as "often happens during wartime," it seems quite clear what her advice would have been had she still been Prime Minister at the time.
Had President Bush been able to follow that advice -- as some of his comments at the time suggested he had an inclination to do -- history might have been very different and we might have been spared a second and more costly war.
But Prime Minister Thatcher had a lighter side as well, so perhaps this tribute should end on a less solemn note, with an anecdote related by the late Christopher Hitchens.
Shortly after Thatcher had been elected party leader, Hitchens, who had presciently predicted her political rise and rather audaciously described her as "surprisingly sexy," was introduced to her at a party. As Hitchens describes the occasion in his memoir:
"Almost as soon as we shook hands . . , I felt that she knew my name and had perhaps connected it to the socialist weekly that had recently called her rather sexy. While she struggled adorably with this moment of pretty confusion, I felt obliged to seek controversy and picked a fight with her on a detail of Rhodesia/ Zimbabwe policy. She took me up on it. I was (as it chances) right on the small point of fact, and she was wrong. But she maintained her wrongness with such adamantine strength that I eventually conceded the point and even bowed slightly to emphasize my acknowledgment. 'No,' she said. 'Bow lower!' Smiling agreeably, I bent forward a bit farther. 'No, no,' she trilled. 'Much lower!' By this time, a little group of interested bystanders was gathering. I again bent forward, this time much more self-consciously. Stepping around behind me, she unmasked her batteries and smote me on the rear with the parliamentary order-paper that she had been rolling into a cylinder behind her back. I regained the vertical with some awkwardness. As she walked away, she looked back over her shoulder and gave an almost imperceptibly slight roll of the hip while mouthing the words: 'Naughty boy!'"
A woman of iron indeed -- and with a wicked sense of humor.

recent interactions has made me realize that almost no one in this society has a grip on what scientific knowledge actually is, leading to very ignorant people in this country and world.
the recent admittance of a mistake in the faster-than-light neutrinos. some of the more ignorant comments makes me sad
"15 000 thousand tests, and now there's a "loose wire"? Please.
I guarentee when this wire gets "fixed" the results will remain unchanged, and they'll start looking for another "flaw" in the research.
This is just the Religion of Theoretical Physics protecting its highest god, Einstein. He was wrong. Get over it."
"Another thing that people do not understand that this is a SERIOUSLY CONTROLLED experiment. Everything is checked and rechecked. We do not even have equipment that actually sees all of the light spectrum, which also includes other particles. Light and radiation are only super excited particles traveling at very high speeds. This is only because of political and scientific pressures."
"Wow.. Scientists who are fudging the numbers, who knew? =P
This is proof of the break down in integrity in science, glad to see a correction, hope they dont announce anything else so dramatic without CONFIRMATION. That is NOT the way science works. But, sensation and the desire for grant money blinds many.
And people wonder why I wont ever eat factory farmed test tube meat that they will produce in 20 years. THIS is why!"
these irritate and sadden me; this fundamental misunderstanding of science (and philosophy of science) gives people ammo to just deny science and viewing is as "just another religion"
if anyone wonders about
is scientific knowledge is? does science tell us about the actual world or just our experience of the world?
the professor is probably the most interesting part.
he teaches at Lehigh University where a famous ID proponent (behe). so it is interesting to watch someone from his university tear his whole theory (well, all of ID in general) a metaphorical new corn-shoot
but i don't want this to be a pitch for this company; unfortunately this lecture is one of the best thing on the topic, and you can find it for free online if you look

Anthony -- I much appreciate what you are saying. I've recently blogged on a subject related to this:

Thanks for the post!
This is proof of the break down in integrity in science, glad to see a correction, hope they dont announce anything else so dramatic without CONFIRMATION. That is NOT the way science works. But, sensation and the desire for grant money blinds many.
It would be indeed a sad day for humanity when people will start loosing faith inthe integrity of scientific research. Scientists involved in making false claims in the name of science do not seem to realise what enormous crime they are commiting for small gains.
the problem with that is that scientists don't simply hold stuff back. getting information out there for others to check (peer review) finding is why science has the integrity.
there is a real disagreement on the actions of the scientists themselves for how they released this information.
i would make the comparison to the pilt-down man and other creationist favorites; the scientists were not the ones making the false claims but the media of the time
I think that is his point. Extraordinary results need accurate extraordinary evidence. Indeed this was a great view of the scientific method at work. It is unfortunate that the technology may have been damaged and created the anomaly. That should have been taken into account previous to the reporting of the discovery. It is because of the scientific method that others are now questioning this discovery and the lack of scientific accuracy that others who are looking for fact and not finding it are turning away from science. I think maybe his approach was a bit over the top and aggressive, but his core idea of the scientific community becoming a mix of fact and pseudo fact is accurate in my opinion. Archaeology is an excellent example of this.
Greg, I agree!
Very well put, Greg!
It is not as black and white as only this situation. Though I agree. People who are not logical are not going to understand logic.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A tenuous ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip was holding on Sunday, three full days after officially going into effect.
The longevity of the truce had already surprised many, who expected Gaza-based Palestinian forces to resume sporadic rocket and mortar shell attacks on southern Israel almost immediately, as they had done during previous ceasefires.
But while there was an absence of direct violence, Hamas admitted that it was not abiding by Israel's ceasefire condition that it stop bringing more explosives and weapons into Gaza.
"They said that Hamas should stop what they called smuggling through borders, by land or sea... We did not respond to these demands, because they are unfair and beyond our philosophy and capabilities, and issues which we cannot commit to," said Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh during a speech at a Gaza City mosque on Friday.
While Hamas refuses to take Israel's conditions seriously, Haniyeh insisted that the group expects the Jewish state to honor its commitment to fully lift its blockade of the Gaza Strip after 10 days of non-violence.
In remarks to Israel's Ynet news portal on Sunday, Israeli Justice Minister Daniel Friedman called the ceasefire a "strategic mistake," noting that Israel would be meeting all of Hamas' demand without managing to win even one concession beyond a temporary cessation of violence.

Navi's Gone Looking for Girls Gone WoW
Server shutdown when I'm in the middle of dailies. Brilliant!
Luckily EU servers aren't shutting down. Perfect time for a Navispam! I decided to try my luck on Earthen Ring to see if I could see any of the crew from the podcast Girls Gone WoW... now if I can only remember what guild they were in...
Sil, Raven, EJ and Rob don't really write about their characters in their tweets, but fortunately I did ask them about where I could find them during the show! But, silly me forgot to ask what names to find them under.... I hope their guild is friendly!
I had written down the server and guild they were in, so when I made my toon there, I did a /who and found 4 people on. One of them surely will let me know if those famous podcasters are on, right? Oh and I made a gnome because I remember EJ making some silly talk about a gnome druid. The idea was so bizarre I thought I'd make a gnome and have pink hair because I will NEVER get pink hair on any other toon.
Oooh but wait! One of the toons has EJ in their name! Dare I hope that is THE EJ? I send a tell and eagerly await a response. I get a polite response in reply and I'm wriggling in excitement, when she says yes she is EJ from GGW. Woot! Score! I asked if I could take a pic with her and she said yes! She also told me Rob was on as well, so I said "Oh oh oh, let me scare him with some stalker talk!"
So I whisper Rob's toon, and say that I'm a big fan of the show and his voice and would he mind if I could take a pic with him? He said I could :) Though there is one thing I noticed much to my mortification...
Rob is a NElf Hunter.
Thank GOD he wasn't on the show when I did my interview because I was making fun of NElf hunters! The stereotypical starting race and class for most people in WoW, especially under the age of 16!
So EJ came to pick me up and she liked my choice of gnome and pink hair... I wonder why? :P She led me out of the scary gnome starting zone. Rob met us at the lift and I managed to grab a quick picture.
Then we went off to take some pics up near Ironforge because the snow is so pretty. EJ stopped to show me a cool dwarf in a tree with bears trying to get him...
Pets were bugging out on the rocky doorway so we moved to the snow for more screenshot fun. EJ pulled out pet after pet for me to admire - she has a TURNIP!!! - and then Rob brought out a fascinating quest item that was really cool, a seashell!
I chatted about the show (I have been listening to it today and it was a long one!) Raven was at work and Sil was not online so I will have to come back at a later time to get back to them. I was glad to hear that EJ was feeling better, and I think Rob was a little bemused by my excitement to Navispam them. I was sad to hear that he hadn't caught any rare hunter pets yet, but I should have asked him to show me some of his lost and found stuff! If you keep that junk, that is.
Anyway thank you EJ and Rob for letting me Navispam you! I will be back to collect the other two so we shall meet again!

Back in 07', when B.O.B's buzz just began to skyrocket, I made an effort to contact Playboi Tre on myspace. I asked him how much he wanted to feature on a song w/ me... thinking that it would've gotten me noticed by B.O.B. PBT said that he only wanted 250 to do a verse on my song, so i was ready. The only thing that hindered me was my brother's procrastination. He wouldnt let me use the studio that i helped him purchase, so i never got a chance to get er' done. It wasnt until late 09'' that i was able to get my own. If anybody wants to work w/ me feel free to contact me @ my email address
I dont charge anything. I'm just trying to better my craft right now.

"If he had turned out to be a dork, this movie would have been about a dork," says filmmaker Richard Linklater, referring to Ellar Coltrane, the star of his new film "Boyhood."
"Instead, it was about a tired guy who has to sleep all the time."
Coltrane, 19, had just entered the Beverly Hills suite as the director was talking and flopped face first on the bed, weary after a day of promoting the film, which opens in select theaters on Friday and goes into wide release July 18.
Linklater, of course, is an old hand at this, having made 16 movies over 23 years, but this is all new for Coltrane.
Linklater has been filming Coltrane since he was a 6-year-old. It was then that the filmmaker began the 12-year project that would become "Boyhood." It's the story of an East Texas kid named Mason Evans Jr. and his journey from childhood to adolescence.
In a leap of faith, Linklater would film "Boyhood" over the period in which Coltrane himself would grow up.
Mason's parents, who are already divorced when the film opens, are portrayed by Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette. The actors — along with Lorelei Linklater, the director's daughter, who plays Mason's older sister — made long-term but nonbinding commitments to the film back in 2002.
Coltrane says he was aware at the time that he had wanted to do the movie and that his parents had agreed.
"But my understanding of what 12 years means has changed," he says.
He admits seeing himself grow up on screen is "kind of eerie." There are some things that he has little to no memory of, "But in other ways I recognize myself very much, and I am the same person."
Linklater had wanted to make a film about childhood after being a parent for a while but says he "couldn't find my '400 Blows' moment," referring to Francois Truffaut's classic semiautobiographical film about childhood. The great French director then went on to make a series of movies starring the same actor, Jean-Pierre Leaud, at various ages.
Linklater wanted to do a fictional story of childhood over a longer period, but wanted it to seem natural. He didn't want to age an actor with makeup or have him play younger. Nor did he want to employ multiple actors to indicate different ages.
It then came to Linklater that filming little bits of time over a long period would "create this bigger canvas."
It seemed an obvious solution, but keeping a cast and crew together and financing were immediate obstacles.
Luckily, IFC agreed to a commitment of $200,000 per year for a total budget of about $2.4 million. Then it was a question of putting the project together and keeping it going.
Linklater saw a lot of young boys before he decided on Coltrane.
"Many of the kids wanted to be actors and were kind of achievers but he was kind of his own guy," he notes.
The director adds that at the time he was casting the parents, too, "because legally you can't hold a 6-year-old to a contract. The parents had a big part. Ellar had these cool artistic parents. I think that contributed to him."
The outlines of "Boyhood" are somewhat autobiographical for Linklater, who is also from East Texas. His parents divorced when he was young, and he had two older sisters. So, he says, it took him awhile to find his own voice.
The "Boyhood" shoot was done in three- or four-day increments over a dozen years, but before that, the director would spend time with Coltrane and other key cast members to get a sense of where the film was going before starting to write.
He has worked with Hawke numerous times before, including on the romantic trilogy "Before Sunrise," "Before Sunset" and last year's "Before Midnight" for which they, along with Julie Delpy, received an Oscar nomination for their screenplay.
"He's the best kind of collaborator," Linklater says about Hawke. "I think we push each other."
A Texas native and son of divorced parents, Hawke says he brought some of himself to the role. His character, Mason Sr., has dreams of being a musician at the film's beginning, but eventually those slip away.
"We wanted to tell a story of the guy finding his feet and growing up in a parallel way," says Hawke, a guitarist and the father of four children, including two with ex-wife Uma Thurman.
"Rick and I both grew up with fathers in the insurance business and both of them had troubled marriages from which they responded and then had happy second marriages."
Linklater says "Boyhood" is also "a portrait of adults coming into their own and accommodating the world to make their lives work somehow."
Hawke adds, "We generally see giving up your dreams as a bad thing, but sometimes there are compromises in parenthood that one has to make."
"It's kind of faint praise to say parents did their best — it sounds so damning," says Linklater, "but it's often true."
Growing up as a child actor, Hawke has been advising Coltrane for years.
"Acting is a great thing for young people," says Hawke. "It's just the public part that makes it so difficult."
That's what the young actor is facing now with a slew of journalists.
"This is much more bizarre than anything the film ever was," says Coltrane, referring to the press junket. "Ethan guided me on how to act during the movie, but he's certainly helping me now."
The Austin native's mother was a painter and dancer and is now an equine therapist, while his dad is a longtime musician who has just released his first album.
"I really appreciate the way my parents brought me up," says Coltrane, who was homeschooled. "With the kind of freedom I had, I just learned what I was interested in, but that resulted in me shying away from harder academic subjects."
Coltrane is planning to go to college, perhaps in a year, but he isn't sure whether he's going to pursue art or acting. He had been sketching before the interview.
At the end of "Boyhood," his character is at his first day of college and goes hiking with new friends. As he gazes at the scenery, which includes a young coed, he thinks about time and muses, "It's like it's always right now."
The young man says what he learned making the movie was to "appreciate everything and not take it for granted because it just keeps happening whether you pay attention or not."
Linklater wasn't joking when he said it would have been a different movie had Coltrane been a different kid.
"I expected him be in a band, but the kid gravitated toward visual arts. I liked that more and I incorporated it in the film. It was closer to me," Linklater said.
Each year, the director would gauge where Coltrane was emotionally and developmentally — what he was watching, listening to, reading and what he was doing for fun.
"There wasn't anything in the film that he wasn't ready for," says Linklater.
To keep a sense of continuity, Linklater filmed the entire movie on 35mm film, though digital formats had become dominant during the 12 years. To help identify the changing times, the director included what he thought might be "memories" from each year — popular TV shows, movies, presidential elections, "Harry Potter" book signings and songs.
Linklater says he really didn't know what he had until the end.
"Somewhere you realize what you are doing is wildly impractical, and you can't control every element," he says. "And you have to admit that you are collaborating with an unknown, unstable future, but that's all our lives. Life has a way of going somewhere else."

Opinion: Get Ready for a Third Sino-Japanese War
WSJ contributor Michael Auslin on the stand-off between China and Japan over the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea. Photos: Getty Images

... Ch ... was surveillance aircraft and fighter jets were scrambled ... and now in recent days we've learned that the Chinese warship has locked weapons guiding radar ... onto a Japanese ship and helicopter ... are these two countries girding for war ... American Enterprise Institute fellow Michael Ostling joins me now ... Michael was this most recent radar and stay ... focused on the Senkaku while interest or something else going on here ... well Mary when hearing in Washington from source is high and that the Japanese government is that to ... this happened this locking of the radar on the ship and the helicopter now write it the Senkaku has not been present when the waters we could see the islands ... but rather somewhere else in the East China Sea and what they're trying to say ... is that China is is actually expanding the scope of its assertiveness and aggression against Japan ... they're really trying to goad you can into responding or giving up ... and they're not just limiting it to the same happens now is it's unconfirmed ... but the Japanese wanted to make very clear that we understood ... that this wasn't just about the islands it's a much bigger game ... about who's really get to control access in and out of the East China Sea Michael do you have any sense from Tokyo about what measures they would be prepared to take ... to respond to this kind of provocation ... no I think they're still trying to figure it out in fact at the same time that they're talking about the ways of the Chinese are expanding it they also wanted to make clear that ... of the Chinese jets that were reported coming into the Senkaku was airspace where actually fairly far from Japanese jets in a lot of us got very worried I will get ... jet fighters from both countries dogging each other in the sky's ETF an accident really quick ... the Japanese wanted to signal that the Chinese weren't that close even though they are coming closer than they had before ... so I think are still feeling out the role of government as to what would be the most appropriate response and don't forget ... to waiting to see what Washington is going to do when they get a half full back up where they can it be in this on their own until something really bad happened well that is the big question you have a very dovish cabinet coming and ... in the form of John Kerry as secretary of state and potentially chock a goal of the Pentagon ... on the Michael is could this be our Falklands ... given that we are bound by treaty to defend Japan when we go to war war or intervene here to protect the couple of islands in the Pacific ... what's that that's the sixty four thousand dollar question I think a lot of it depends on how hostilities started think you start ... I'll what if the Japanese feel goaded into firing on the Chinese first with the United States support them ... what if it's just an accident and that to start fighting the eye can see this administration ... instead want to talk about a mediating role in in some ways mediation might not be a bad thing on the other hand ... it sends a message to our allies that you can be pushed to the very attitude you might not have ... the backing and support the you think you will from a formal treaty ... Michael domestic politics is also very important here in United States in Japan and in China ... what kind of pressures that is the new prime minister Shinzo on they have ... to respond ... on the half the Chinese public pressure might be feeling of home ... it's a great question from from where the Japanese public stance on this I think that ... on there there's probably any when you see these types of reactions that are happening in Japan there is certainly an initial ... very strong we might call nationalistic outburst ... but then if you would call a cooler heads are more sober heads prevail they look at the situation they realize ... they're up against China ... you know this isn't going up against some other small countries so they have to be very careful ... how even the even of public reaction they want to push this because emotions can go very far ... in China it seems that there really is no problem and in whipping up frenzy and getting that ... the government to ... take it even harder line Japan seems to be the one ... that often steps back and and the United States has to realize ... that when other countries the particular allies are thinking about how they're going to protect their territory ... they have to think about it in terms of China and I don't think we often realize just what that means ... they perceive the size of the perceived the straight ... we think it's all just equal nations negotiating over a table ... at some of the view down in East Asia ... so while all eyes are on the Middle East Syria Iran ... we could be looking in the conflict in the Pacific American Enterprise Institute fellow

Last March 25, I sat in a crowded banquet hall at The Northwood Club in Dallas and listened to Norman Borlaug speak humbly but eloquently about what the agriculture industry must do to feed the world.
He celebrated his 95th birthday that day and took the opportunity to remind an admiring and awed audience that his life's work was not done. Borlaug saved as many as 1 billion people from starvation through his efforts to increase grain production under diverse growing conditions. He worked in many Third-World countries where starvation was common and assistance was not.
He's the father of the Green Revolution. He showed, as a humble USDA scientist, how much difference one man can make if he's committed to helping others.
When I learned of Borlaug's death Monday morning, I realized that the world had lost one of its greatest humanitarians, one of its most dedicated public servants and one of its most revered scientists.
I don't have many heroes. Celebrities and politicians, for the most part, are too involved in their own agendas, their own press clippings and the latest political or popularity polls to warrant adulation. Exceptions are rare.
Borlaug was more than worthy. He earned the highest accolades: the Nobel Peace Prize, the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Medal of Freedom. But prizes were not his motivation. Ending misery was.
He talked about misery and hunger back in March.
"Hunger and poverty do more than plant the seeds of despair," he said. "They also plant the seeds of anarchy and terrorism. Hunger and misery have been part of human existence for thousands of years. There are references in both the Bible and the Koran. But all in this room today and thousands of others are dedicated to producing more food and doing it without destroying the environment."
He said science and technology have thwarted global disaster so far. "We have survived." He attributed success to the "generosity of affluent nations to put more and more support behind international programs."
But the struggle continues. "We have to fight, fight, fight," he said. "You don't win by being afraid of change and change we must have. We are going in the right direction."
In a brief personal conversation following the event, Borlaug told me the Green Revolution must continue. He said genetic engineering, far from being an environmental nightmare, will be essential to feed a rapidly growing world population.
It would be easy to assume that Borlaug's passing leaves a huge void in agricultural research devoted to ending hunger. And the assumption has merit. I'm not confident we will soon see the same commitment, dedication and self-sacrifice that motivated him.
But I could be wrong because Borlaug was also a teacher and one cannot help but assume that he passed along more than his knowledge of plant genetics to his students. I have to believe that more than a few also embraced his philosophy of service.
And one of the last honors agriculture bestowed on him was the creation of the Beachell-Borlaug International Scholars Program, which will identify and support young scientists interested in research and production to improve rice and wheat (Henry Beachell was a renowned rice breeder.). Monsanto announced its sponsorship of the $10 million, five-year program at Borlaug's 95th birthday celebration. Texas A&M AgriLife Research administers the program.
Norman Borlaug will be missed, but his work will stand as a monument to what people of good will can do to improve the world. His scientific achievements will continue to feed hungry people and his inspiration will continue to encourage others to carry on his work.
His example will motivate others to take up his cause, as it did this sometimes cynical reporter on a cold, rainy day in March that turned out to be one of the most meaningful assignments of my career.

The Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 Windows Phones are slated for a mid-January launch, confirmed by a live chat session with a Nokia Care representative. January 11th was the date provided in the chat window, which solidifies the information handed out previously. It was said Lumia Windows Phone hardware would be heading to the market early 2012.
Now solid dates are out in the open, consumers will be able to look forward to being able to purchase the Lumia 920 and 820 shortly, with the rest of the family following after. We've seen the flagship Windows Phone from Nokia suffer from shortages in multiple markets, so it'll be interesting to see how the company tackles India.
As well as the main Lumia hardware, Nokia has also kicked off marketing for the Lumia 510 with the 'Trendify' promotion campaign. This has seen a video being published that shows off the social features of the Windows Phone with a number of hand kissing. An effective way of building brand awareness in India, we're sure.

Mayor Ortt, Congressman Brian Higgins, former Congressman Thomas Reynolds, State Sen. George Maziarz, City Attorney Shawn Nickerson and other local officials participated in a groundbreaking event for the long-awaited Meadow Drive Extension, which will extend from west to east between Nash Road and Erie Avenue.
The project, which includes $1.4 million in federal funds, along with state and local funds, has been in the works since 2006. It will connect the mid-city business district to a burgeoning commercial/industrial corridor along Erie Avenue, while improving traffic flow in the city.
"This is a long-overdue and much-needed extension that will not only provide short-term construction jobs, but will also result in better traffic flow and connect Payne Avenue and our mid-city business district to Erie Avenue and a budding commercial/industrial corridor," Ortt said. "Even though the funding was appropriated years ago, it has taken the collective efforts of my administration, together with City Attorney Shawn Nickerson, as well as our engineer's office and our Common Council, to make this project a reality."
"Infrastructure investments create jobs and lay the foundation for stronger neighborhoods and business districts," Higgins said. "This long-overdue project will help to improve traffic flow and provide a valuable transportation link within the City of North Tonawanda."
The work will begin immediately by DiPizio Construction Co. Inc., which was awarded the bid on the project. The road is expected to be completed before the end of the year depending on the weather.

I am proud of my Pinterest boards and I pore over them. I think it's feeding a similar impulse to the vast collections of stickers I would see girls in my grade school amass, huge books filled with adhesive dreams and wishes, aspirations and goals, fantasies and fancies, ready to apply. It can feel obsessive too, as I am merely the custodian of these images, not the creator of them, not the subject of them, but essentially, the janitor of them, and sweeping them all into the corner of the internet, I see them together for the first time.
I have trolled websites to find pictures that affected my worldview, which burned indelible into my mind and churned in me as I grew. As I see them all now dumped into this psychic dustbin, I find that it's almost entirely white folks. I hadn't had awareness of this before – that I had relied on one race so heavily to understand life. Coming to know what my tastes and preferences were, excavating my mind's own archeology, I hadn't seen how racially biased the source because I hadn't thought to look. I had nothing to compare myself to. I had no idea of race and perceived all from a bubble of isolation. My parents worked mostly, and much of my youth was spent alone waiting for them. I watched television and ignored the sounds in the cellar and attic and thought about Elizabeth Taylor and David Bowie endlessly.
If you never see yourself in the media, and you are conditioned to invisibility to the point where you never even try to seek yourself, what does that do to the spirit? I am only just finding out now. I'm putting up pictures of Nancy Kwan and Tina Turner on my boards but women of color are rare butterflies. I can't pin them down as readily and I don't like this but this is how the world is made. How do I overcome racial disparity when it exists in my mind? Do I not even exist inside myself?

Vinny let me know that he is o.k. and not too far away. It gives me the most comfort to know he is still with me, just in a different form. Love transends all boundaries. So does the spirit.
Thanks for reading the ramblings of a grieving mother. I will now try to stop rambling, get past the grieving, and start to celebrate the life of a wonderful dog.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – On a fall day with excellent weather for a regatta, the MIT women's openwieght crew team concluded its fall season with an appearance at the Foot of the Charles. In an event that features Varsity Four boats and both openweight and lightweight crews, the Engineers had their best finish in the Varsity Fours with its "A" boat taking 26th overall.
MIT had a pair of entries in the Varsity Four competition and the racing between the pair was very close, with the two boats finishing just 0.2 seconds apart. The Engineers' "A" crew completed the course with a time of 15:14.2, finishing just ahead of the "B" crew. The top finisher on the day was the Syracuse A boat, which finished with a strong time of 13:50.8.
MIT's Varsity Eight boat turned in a time of 16:08.1 to finish 13th in its event, while the Novice Eight crew rowed well in its event. That lineup finished with a time of 15:22.2 that placed it ahead of a crew from Northeastern for a ninth-place finish.
MIT will return to the water in the spring when it will race in the Beanpot on March 23 on the Charles River.

Ionic is a new seatpost design featuring the sophisticated and robust, 3T–exclusive DiffLock seat clamp. Ionic–0 places the seat clamp assembly in line with the seatpost for zero setback. Many athletes seeking outright speed favour this more forward position on the bike. Some frame designers are also specifying a slacker seat tube so riders can set their bike up with an inline post, which is lighter than a setback post.
The splined alloy DiffLock coupling is a highly-accurate method of setting saddle angle needing only lightweight clamping by side-mounted bolts. It is especially useful for fine adjustment of saddle setback, which can be done without impacting saddle angle. Ionic–0 Pro is fabricated in aluminium alloy with a shot-peened, black-anodized finish and the white 3T Pro stripe.

Maritime Monday - Navy Log Pictures Pt. 2
Stock photos of pretty much every US Navy ship have been available since photography became popular. My grandfather included a bunch of pictures of various classes of ship in his Navy Log. I'm curious to know if he just grabbed pictures of any ships he came across, or whether these are all ships he personally saw and sailed near? I'll never know, as he died in 1982, well before I knew this log book even existed, and before my own stint in the Navy. These pictures are great for history buffs who are also military buffs, as you can see some vintage machines that have been scrap for many decades now.
USS Lexington (CV-2), USS Saratoga (CV-3), and the USS Langley (CV-1). The Langley was the first aircraft carrier, being a converted collier (USS Jupiter AC-3).
On a lighter note, sailors love their comics. This is as true today (or when I was enlisted, 20 years ago) as it was back in my grandfather's day. Here's a sampling he included in his log book:

Chevy SB Competition Series, STD Rod Bearing Set, Super Duty Alloy, 283; 327
Federal-Mogul's Sealed Power Speed-Pro Competition Series Engine BearingsSealed Power Speed-Pro brand builds engine bearings using materials and alloys engineered for demanding applications. Speed-Pro tailors there bearings to withstand punishing racing conditions. Federal-Mogul's Speed-Pro bearings are proven winners in NHRA, NASCAR and IHRA competition.
Sealed Power's Speed-Pro engine bearings include a patented contoured-flange design that increases thrust-load capacity and a three-quarter-length oil groove that enhances lubricity without compromising load capacity.
The materials in Sealed Power's Speed-Pro bearings offer a variety of advantages, such as high durability, corrosion resistance, decreased rate of wear and increased fatigue strength. These advantages are all essential features for performance engines that need to withstand punishing racing conditions.
Sealed Power's Speed-Pro DUROSHIELD Competition Series Coated Bearings provide protection against dry starts and conditions that interrupt oil supply. Speed-Pro's H-14 Super Duty Alloy has the greatest load-carrying capacity. Sealed Power's Speed-Pro H-24 Alloy is notable for its desirable fatigue resistance and strength.
Sealed Power's Speed-Pro B100 babbitt material is used in ultra-high-performance rod and main bearings for blown-fuel and alcohol engines that require high "embeddability" and conformability.
Bearing Material Selection for Performance
When Selecting bearings, engine builders commonly focus on getting the proper clearances and maintaining adequate oil pressure. Durability is expected from any bearing that is chosen, and the advantages of different lining materials may not be considered. When an engine's operating conditions are considered, and bearing materials are chosen accordingly, the likelihood of success is greater.
In street driven applications there are a number of materials that will do an excellent job. Each material has advantages in terms of resistance to corrosion, rate of wear, and fatigue strength. The latter characteristic is most critical in racing engines that operate under high loads, generate considerable heat, and may be subjected to occasional detonation. No bearing can withstand detonation, but the use of superior materials can improve the bearing's load carrying capability.
Federal-Mogul / Sealed Power's heritage of industry leading technology is reflected in the Sealed Power and Speed-Pro engine bearing product lines. Sealed Power's offers unique materials and alloys engineered for demanding applications. Speed-Pro engine bearings are specifically tailored to withstand punishing racing conditions.

Just a quick FYI, for all here, There's been a shooting at Monash University, Melbourne (my university). It occured on the 6th floor of the Arts/Humanities building, at around 11:20 local time. I was just heading into the university at the time. Reports say that there are 2 dead, and variable amounts of injured (the popular numbers are 4, 5 or 8 injured). The shooter was apprehended around 12pm or so.
I'm fine, and so are most of my friends. So, things are cool here. But the freaky part is that if I had managed to catch the bus I had intended to catch tonight, I would have been in the building when the shooting had taken place. Had it occured 15 minutes later, I also would likely have been in the building. For about two hours after the event, the mobile phone lines were completely blocked, to the point that I could not even get a message out. I know have three messages on my voicemail, but no way to access them (all my attempts to get a line out chewed up the last of my credits).
So, I'm a little frazzled right now. So's just about everyone in the office I'm using to send this to you guys. What angers a few of us is that it seems that we were left in the dark, if not deliberately, at least because they couldn't bother telling us. Reports were saying it was in the Union building (which frightened me because that's where my girlfriend usually hangs around), that it was a sniper on the roof, plus a few other stories floating around. We had to wait until the newswires had got a hold of the story before we got any concrete details.
So yeah, everyone's fine on this end. Just an FYI for everyone here.

Who did fly both kites in the same sizes and can tell us about the differences?
What I heard is that a guy using a Toro said it has less lift and has less depower range. And the Toro is easier to restart, because of a deeper profile. It also turns faster.
Can anyone confirm?

Easy Breezy Culottes
Added Jul 13, 2013
by saxsilverain
Espoo, Finland
i wanted to make culottes out of this crazy print polyester satin fabric i have, so i used Burda pattern no. 7688 and altered the leg parts to be even wider than the original pattern. it was basically almost half a circle for each leg; it was the widest i could make with a limited amount of fabric. i also changed the zipper to be at the back instead of the side, since i wanted the culottes to be wide on the sides & thought it would look strange if the zipper is on the side. and why not put the zipper to the front, you ask? because i was too lazy to make the fly. :p
for the hem, i first folded the fabric inwards once and sew it, and then folded it again inwards and sew it again, so the end result is a super thin hemline & it will still flow nicely in the wind.
i am loving the result! as the name promises, they're easy to wear with anything in my wardrobe and biking with these are also super fun! the only thing that bugged me (a tiny bit) was that no matter how exact i placed the pattern pieces and cut the fabric, i still couldn't get the print to match in the center seams. oh well, i suppose asymmetric print works for me too.
Material Notes
about 1.5 m of polyester satin,
25 cm zipper,
1 button.
- Burda
Pattern no. 7688

thank you! i actually did come across that pattern when i was looking for culottes pattern, but they were sold out (or was it that they were on a holiday so they couldn't send any pattern or something… i can't remember) so i had to work the pattern out myself. but i'm glad they turned out OK! :)

Apple's iPad is making rounds in healthcare. Its ergonomic design, long battery life and beautiful user interface (UI) gives other tablets a run for their money. As the iPad is grows in popularity among physicians, more and more EHR vendors are releasing iPad-specific versions of their EMRs. Some offer native iPad EMRs; others offer web browser access through the iPad.
But, there's no perfect iPad EMR solution. Each type of deployment has its benefits and drawbacks. In this guide we review the three main iPad EMR options:
Web-based EMRs. These systems are used through a web browser and can be accessed through the iPad's Safari browser. They offer various benefits as well as convenience to users.
Remote-access EMRs. Most client/server on-premise EMRs can be accessed from a remote system, including iPads, through utilities, such as Citrix. Though this isn't ideal, it works.
Native iPad EMRs. These are probably what you want most—a slick app developed just for the iPad—but the options are very limited so far. You may have to wait a while.
Until more native iPad EMRs hit the market, we think physicians are best off using web-based EMRs. There are a number of viable web-based systems in the market, so physicians will be able to find one that has capabilities for their size and type of practice (e.g., WebPT for physical therapists).
Also, many web-based EMR vendors have received ONC-ATCB certification. This is a requirement for doctors who want to receive HITECH Act funds.
To see a full list of options, visit our Web-based EMR guide.
As noted in our table above, several leading vendors offer remote access to their EMR. Using this deployment model, your EMR runs on a server (likely in your IT closet), but is remotely displayed on the iPad over a network. There isn't really an EMR application running on the iPad. Instead, the remote access application is allowing you to view the application as if you were at a desktop or laptop.
This approach will allow you to access Allscripts, GE Centricity or any other number of major EMR systems. However, you'll be seeing the usual Windows UI, not an iPad interface. This means you're not taking full advantage of the iPad's slick UI (the reason you bought the iPad to begin with). It's a little kludgy, but it works.
The third option is to purchase a native iPad EMR app. However, options are fairly limited; we've only identified a few such native apps, such as Dr. Chrono, Nimble, Mediforms, MediMobile, IQMax and Capzule EMR. Dr. Chrono and Nimble are the most impressive (and attractive); they do the kind of stuff the iPad was designed to do. For example, Nimble has an application called "Medical Art" that allows doctors to view and markup images (e.g., X-Rays, EKGs and anatomical diagrams) with the swipe of a finger. It's a great tool for educating patients and communicating diagnoses.
These systems make great use of the design elements that lead to a fluid user experience on the relatively smaller, touchscreens of tablets. (To read more about general design considerations when it comes to EHRs, see our guide on medical software interfaces.)
Patient registration in NueMD
Unfortunately, native iPad EMRs can have drawbacks too. Many of them have limited functionality. Physicians can perform basic tasks, such as capture billing charges, view a patient record or track patient schedules.
But, some native iPad EMRs don't offer a complete set of features that other web-based and on-premise EMRs offer. This is mostly because these apps are new to the market. It took years, even decades, for the leading EMRs to offer the depth of functionality they now offer. iPad app startups aren't going to catch up anytime soon.
Scheduling: Medical professionals can view and manage their schedules directly from their iPads. The scheduling feature can be used by both patients and doctors to find free slots, specify clinic locations and manage clinic capacity. You can add and edit appointments, manage multiple locations and create schedules for single or multiple providers.
Billing: Cloud-based and native EMR apps support billing, invoicing and collections features as well. The medical billing features also help you manage insurance and patient payments. Advanced billing features can help you generate reports and manage accounts receivables and claims.
Document management: Healthcare practices need to maintain a large volume of documents. Document management features help manage EMRs and images and reduce records retention costs. Electronic document storage and management features eliminate the need for off-site storage facility. The app should be able to handle multiple file types and may also offer document scanning capabilities.
Patient charts and notes: EMR iPad applications help create digital versions of patient charts that include their whole medical history and previous diagnosis and treatments. This feature helps track and store patient data and access them from anywhere. Physicians can also add notes about patients that will be stored for future use. Many EMR software offer customizable templates that help you choose the fields required for patient charts and notes.
e-Prescribing: This feature sends prescriptions to patients and pharmacies over the internet. e-Prescribing reduces medication errors, reviews previous prescriptions, searches for pharmacy locations and provides alerts regarding drug allergies, dosage levels and duplicates. It allows doctors to create and refill prescriptions, view dosage history, contact pharmacies and manage medications.
Alerts and reminders: EMR applications send appointment reminders to patients via text messages or email. This automates the routine task of sending reminders about upcoming appointments and reduces revenue loss due to no shows.
HIPAA compliance: Using HIPAA-compliant EMR applications is essential in complying with federal regulations. While choosing an EMR application, you should ensure that it is compliant with all aspects of HIPAA regulation and has all the latest updates.

Label Sues Spotify Because Some Of Its Users Create Playlists Of Authorized Music In The Same Order It Did
from the wait,-really? dept
Chief executive Lohan Presencer claims that his company has been asking Spotify to remove the playlists – some of which include "Ministry of Sound" in their titles – since 2012While US law does cover some very loose copyright protection for "compilations," UK law may be worse. As we covered a few years ago, there was a ridiculous case in the UK, in which a court argued that putting together a list of facts could create a copyright. The case involved football schedules, and the court ridiculously said:
"It's been incredibly frustrating: we think it's been very clear what we're arguing, but there has been a brick wall from Spotify," said Presencer.
"The process of preparing fixture lists involves very significant labor and skill in satisfying the multitude of often competing requirements of those involved," Judge Christopher Floyd said. "(It is) not mere sweat of the brow, by which I mean the application of rigid criteria to the processing of data. The quality of the solution depends in part on the skill of those involved."It seems quite likely, that MoS is relying on this kind of language to make its argument, though I'd argue that all this case does is highlight just how ridiculous that original ruling is. Yes, there can be creativity involved in putting together a playlist, but that doesn't mean it should receive a copyright.
And then there's the entirely separate issue of secondary liability. Why should Spotify be liable for how its users group their songs together? Should Spotify actually be forced to police users and stop them from putting various combinations of songs together in a particular order? Does anyone actually think that's a useful purpose for copyright?
Once again, we see what copyright is turned into: a tool for control and stopping what most people think is basic human activity. Putting together authorized, legal songs in a particular order? How could anyone think that should be infringing?

4371.0 - National Health Survey: Diabetes, Australia, 1995
Latest ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 22/10/1997
|Page tools: Print Page Print All RSS Search this Product
Over 430,000 diagnosed with diabetes
Over 430,000 Australians (2.4 per cent of the population) reported they had been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus at some time during their lives, according to a publication released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
The publication National Health Survey: Diabetes, Australia, 1995, draws on new information from the 1995 National Health Survey and includes some data from the ABS's Causes of Death collection.
Three types of diabetes mellitus were separately identified in the publication's analysis: insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes mellitus.
One in three people with diabetes mellitus did not know what type of diabetes they had. Among those who knew their diabetes type, 63 per cent reported having non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
Risk factors for diabetes include being aged over 40 and being overweight. Diabetes mellitus prevalence increases with age from 0.1 per cent for people aged under 15 to 8.9 per cent for people aged 75 and over.
Among people aged 15 years and over who reported both their height and weight, 37 per cent of those with diabetes mellitus were overweight (compared with 25 per cent of those without diabetes) and a further 21 per cent were obese (compared with 8 per cent of those without diabetes).
The proportion of the overseas born population with diabetes mellitus (4.1 per cent) was over double that of the Australian born population (1.9 per cent). Even when the older age profile of the overseas born population was allowed for their rate was still higher.
In 1995 there were 2,708 deaths due to diabetes mellitus, making it the seventh leading cause of death in that year.
Diabetes mellitus is one of the five National Health Priority Areas. While rates of hospitalisation and deaths directly attributed to diabetes mellitus are low, diabetes mellitus is often mentioned as a contributory cause on death certificates and it has a major impact on quality of life.
The report also includes information on the health status of people with diabetes and the health actions they took.
Copies of the publication National Health Survey: Diabetes, Australia, 1995 (cat. no. 4371.0) are available from ABS book shops.

CCRI President Ray Di Pasquale had plenty of "good things" to share at the college's foundation meeting on Friday morning.
"There's no hiding; these are tough economic times," he said, "but we're doing some pretty good work here."
To the group's applause, he reported the college recently received grants of $100,000 and $20,000 from Amica Insurance Co. and the White Family Foundation, respectively. The college foundation oversees the institution's efforts to raise funds for scholarships and special programs.
Di Pasquale went on to talk about the development of new relationships, programs and events like the America's Dentists Care Foundation Mission of Mercy to take place June 2 and 3 at the Flanagan Campus in Lincoln. An estimated 600 uninsured or underinsured people are expected to obtain dental services during the two days.
"It shows how involved we are in our community. It's the beginning of neat stuff," he said.
Dentists from across the state will converge at the Flanagan Campus, the site of the dental assistant program – an estimated 500 volunteers in all – to provide the free services. Delta Dental has assisted with a contribution and in the course of the event, dentists are projected to provide $40,000 in in-kind services.
In another collaborative effort, Di Pasquale told of how the college has connected with the Preservation Society of Newport County and Tiffany Company. CCRI Foundation member Trudy Coxe, executive director of the society that oversees the Newport mansions, explained its seven retail stores are critical to revenues. CCRI students are assisting with the development of online sales for the mansions. Di Pasquale called the effort a strengthening and development of partnerships.
Another such partnership, one that recently brought the governor and the state's Congressional delegation to the campus, is that with National Grid. With a $750,000 federal energy grant and the assistance of National Grid, the college has initiated a program to award an Energy Utility Technology Certificate. National Grid also provided $10,000 in scholarships to the program's first class and provided $100,000 in in-kind services to support faculty, curriculum, marketing and student training.
Di Pasquale didn't overlook the college's athletic achievements either.
He told how he enjoyed gloating that the college's men's basketball team made it to the NJCAA Division II Men's Basketball National Tournament finals while post-season play had wound up for the state's other teams. The team had the most wins of any CCRI basketball team with 30 victories and four losses for the season. Di Pasquale also talked about runner Bobby Allen, who gave the college its first national cross-country championship with his win in the NJCAA Division II Cross Country National Championships.
He spoke, too, of the students and faculty that participated in the college's community service day with their volunteer work at non-profits throughout the state. Di Pasquale toured the locations.
"Each time you left one of those sites, it touched your heart what they are doing in these tough times," he said.
The president also spoke about the college's cultural awareness day, saying that about 30 percent of the college's students are minorities. The awareness day was held at the Liston Campus in Providence and featured students in ethnic dress. The theme was world peace and Di Pasquale said he was surprised to learn the college has students from 99 countries.
Collectively for the semester, CCRI enrollment is 17,178, the second highest it has been in the college's history. Looking ahead, Di Pasquale questions the impact higher gasoline and tuition costs will have on enrollment. Tuition for the next semester is slated to increase 7.5 percent, raising the current $3,624 cost by $268. Under the governor's budget, state funding for the institution drops from 45 to 43 percent of operating revenues while projected tuition revenues as a percentage of operations increase from 50 to 53.
"We keep our fingers crossed that we come out in good shape," he said.

Hamilton '89, Benedict '98 Discuss Healthcare Economicsby Howard W. Hewitt • February 2, 2007 Share:
Politicians, healthcare providers, and anyone looking at a doctor's bill may often debate health care's economics.
The answers to the myriad of financial challenges facing the healthcare industry aren't any easier than a tough diagnosis.
Terry Hamilton '89, Chief Financial Officer, and Scott Benedict '98, Director of Outpatient Program Development, for St. Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis offered insight Feb. 2 to Wabash students, faculty and staff in a noontime presentation.
The two quickly laid out the complexity of health care issues which cover: costs, access to the system, doctor and nurse shortages, an aging population, and medical liability insurance as just a few of the challenges and financial strains on healthcare.
Benedict explained how hospitals receive widely different reimbursement from commercial private insurance, managed programs, Medicare, Medicaid and from patients with no insurance trying to pay their own bills.
At St. Vincent's, on Indianapolis' north side the primary care units has 70,000 visits a year. But 89 percent of those visits are from people with no commercial insurance or Medicaid. As a not-for-profit hospital, St. Vincent operates with a yearly $8 million budget loss.
Hamilton and Benedict explained the options to minimize loss include shifting costs to those who can pay, monitoring cost control, work with care management, and pursue public policy change.
"Everyone can agree we'd like to cover more people," Hamilton said, 'but no one can agree on who's going to pay."
Near the end of their prepared remarks both graduates hammered on the one area that health care has done a poor job, in their opinion. "I think preventative care is something we've failed to provide in this country," Hamilton said.
He noted that smoking and obesity rates in Indiana are among the highest in the nation, yet both are preventable.
"I believe we need to drive resources into preventative care," Benedict agreed.
The two were peppered with questions covering a range of topics including an often-discussed national health care initiative frequently proposed by politicians. "It's like trading one set of problems for another," Hamilton said.
Both men were economics' majors at Wabash and both graduated Phi Beta Kappa.

Redefining Hollywood:
The idea of Hollywood has intrigued and inspired image-makers for the last century and it's no different today. Photographers find themselves continually fascinated by not only the notion of Hollywood, but by the city and community of Hollywood. For some, it's the feeling of noir and night, for others, it's the reality of the streets and neighborhoods. Photographers are influenced by movie stars and the idea of celebrity, and by the movies themselves. There is a rich tapestry of photographic ideas and inspiration that emerge from the tangible and intangible idea of Hollywood, and with each unique photographic vision, these photographers are Redefining Hollywood.

Box Score - Game One
Box Score - Game Two
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Freshmen Ryan Munoz and Cameron Brown each delivered the best performances of their young career as the MIT nine swept Newbury College in a pair of seven-inning battles on Sunday. Munoz authored a complete-game effort in an 8-1 victory in game one while Brown pitched six scoreless frames as the Engineers took game two, 9-0.
Munoz surrendered four hits and one walk in the first complete-game pitching effort of the season for MIT (7-7). The rookie struck out a season-high eight batters and was in complete control en route to the first win of his career. Back-to-back doubles by Kevin Wheeler and Thomas Phillips plated runners in the bottom of the first while freshman William Blackman knocked home a third run with a line-drive single to center.
The Nighthawks (0-11) got one of the runs back after stealing home on a failed pick off attempt in the second, although the Engineers added four runs in the bottom of the third to open up the lead. Wheeler, Phillips and Blackman each supplied the attack with run producing hits during the frame, including Phillips' second two-base hit in as many at bats.
Wheeler added an RBI single in the fifth to cap the scoring as the senior captain finished the first tilt 3-for-4 with two runs and three runs batted in. Phillips and Blackman finished 2-for-3 while rookie Brian Doyle collected a pair of hits out of the lead-off spot.
David Carroll went the distance in a losing effort for Newbury, giving up seven earned runs and striking out four in six innings pitched.
In game two, Brown picked up where Munoz left off as the young lefty kept the Nighthawks off the basepaths all game. Brown scattered four hits in six innings, although three of the hits failed to make it out of the infield while Newbury's fourth knock was a grounder back through the box. Brown had six strikeouts in the start before turning it over to fellow first-year Ryne Barry who closed the game in the seventh.
Despite scoring nine runs, MIT managed just five hits in the nightcap. The Cardinal and Gray capitalized on five walks and three passes on a hit-by-pitch in building a commanding advantage. The Engineers led 4-0 after the first two innings without registering a base hit.
Wheeler supplied MIT with its first hit of the contest after leading off the third with a home run over the head of the Newbury left fielder. The Engineers didn't have to wait long to receive their second hit as Phillips matched Wheeler's bomb with a home run over his own to nearly the same spot. The back-to-back jacks sparked a four-run inning which Doyle capped with an RBI single between short and third.
Freshman Nicholas Dunn pitched all six innings for Newbury, yielding eight earned runs in his first decision of the season.

Their home court in Allen Arena is where the wins are for the Lipscomb Bisons basketball team.
But Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson had a difficult time finding teams willing to make the trip to Allen Arena for the 2007-2008 season.
The Bisons play their first home game of the regular season Nov. 26 when Samford, from the Ohio Valley Conference, visits Allen Arena for the first time. McNeese State stops at Allen Arena Nov. 29. Arkansas Tech visits Dec. 3.
"With a 16-game league schedule it made it very difficult to schedule 13 non-conference games and even more difficult to schedule home games," Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson said. "I would much rather play at home than on the road."
The Bisons warm up for the regular season with a pair of exhibition games at Allen Arena. Tusculum College visits Nov. 1 and Freed-Hardeman comes to campus Nov. 5.
The Bisons open the regular season Nov. 8-9 at Iowa State's Tournament in Ames, Iowa. Also in the field are Winston-Salem State and Centenary.
From Nov, 15-17 the Bisons will make the short drive to Murfreesboro to play in Middle Tennessee State's Tournament. Rounding out the field are San Jose State and Appalachian State.
The Bisons travel to West Lafayette, La., Nov. 20 to face Purdue.
On Dec. 8 the Bisons return to Memorial Gym to play Vanderbilt for the second year in a row. That game is the first of six straight games on the road to close out the non-conference portion of the schedule.
The Bisons play three straight games in Louisiana starting with Nichols State in Thibodaux Dec. 15, Southeastern Louisiana in Hammond Dec. 17 and McNeese State in Lake Charles, La.
A Dec. 29 trip to Huntington, W.V., is also scheduled as the Bisons face Marshall for the first time ever.
"We have some good balance," Sanderson said. "Three of the non-conference road games are at natural sites. We have good games against Iowa State, Vanderbilt, Marshall and Samford. We have a couple of games with high major programs and several games against teams at our level. I just wish more of them were at home.'
The A-Sun portion of the schedule also has a different look with the conference playing a divisional format this season.
"We are playing everyone in our division twice and the teams in the other division once," Sanderson said. "We play three of the non-divisional teams at home and three on the road. I think it is hard to crown a true regular season champion because everyone is playing a different schedule."
The Bisons will play home games against Belmont with the "Battle of the Boulevard" set for Jan. 12, followed by USC Upstate (Jan. 17), ETSU (Jan. 19), Gardner-Webb (Feb. 28) and Campbell (March 1). The Belmont game is already on the CSS-TV schedule.
The Bisons will play five divisional opponents on the road with trips to Campbell (Jan. 3) and Gardner-Webb (Jan. 5) to start the A-Sun part of the schedule. They will make their first visit to USC Upstate Feb. 14 followed by ETSU (Feb. 16) and Belmont in the second edition of the "Battle of the Boulevard" on Feb. 23.
The Bisons will host Stetson (Feb. 2), North Florida (Feb. 7) and Jacksonville (Feb. 9). On the road the Bisons will play non-divisional games against Mercer (Jan. 24), Kennesaw State (Jan 26), and a first trip to Florida Gulf Coast Jan. 31.
The Atlantic Sun Tournament will be played at Allen Arena March 5-8.
"It will be a very challenging schedule, but we are looking forward to it," Sanderson said. "Having the conference tournament at home the next two years will hopefully be a major benefit for us."
