Are you keeping up with the latest news from the Tour de France? So far the race has been full of crashes and diabolical roads as the race weaves it way through Classics race country, and today's stage over the cobbles could bring more of the same. The yellow jersey has already changed hands, and the almost all of the race favorites have been involved in a pileup at some point.
Here at Performance, we're following the Tour with rapt attention just like you, but this year we're going to step up our coverage with actual eyes on the ground for the last week of the Tour! We're sending one of our own, David, over to France to ride and report about the Tour, courtesy of the folks at Europeds. It's an opportunity we couldn't pass up to bring you the story of what it's like to actually be there at the Tour, riding the same slopes as the pros and then cheering on the racers with thousands of other die-hard cycling fans. David will be reporting back about his experience as it happens, taking photos and videos to show you what it's like to join the excitement that is cycling's biggest stage. It's all part of our goal to Celebrate the Tour all month long, with special deals, news, and even a giveaway with some fantastic prizes!
Here are a few words from David himself, to tell you about the preparation for his adventure in France:
I can't wait to get over to France and cover the Tour for all of the readers of the Performance Bicycle Blog. I've been training hard to get my legs in shape to tackle the monster mountains of the Pyrenees. Below you can see a Google Earth plot of one of my training rides out on the Blue Ridge Parkway in western North Carolina (just so I could get the feel of climbing for miles on end, which isn't exactly common near our headquarters):
As for my equipment, I'll be riding the stiff and lightweight 2009 Fuji SL1 with full SRAM Red components (thankfully now including a compact crankset), topped off with a Forté Pro SL Saddle, perfect for attacking epic climbs. Here you can see me and my machine atop Waterrock Knob, off of the Blue Ridge Parkway:
But don't get the impression that I'm an elite rider by any means! I'm not much of a racer and I'm usually just trying to hang on during the group rides that leave from our headquarters. I'm going to give you the perspective of the cycling enthusiast that is willing to push himself to go just a little bit harder and faster, but who's still out there to ride for the joy of riding.
And I want to hear from you! Comment on my blog posts or send a message to the Performance Twitter account to let me know what you want to see or know about when I'm in France (or to give me any advice). I will document my trip as I go, and post regular updates from the road. I am going to share this experience with all of you, and give you some insight into what it's like to ride the roads and take in the spectacle of the Tour de France (and hopefully give you the inspiration to follow the Tour yourself next time).

The Compassion in Action Art Project, created by the students of Rock Creek Elementary School in Auburn, will be on display at Placer County Animal Services in North Auburn starting Monday, June 18.
The Compassion in Action Project, which promotes kindness to animals and adoptions of homeless animals, includes 40 colorful posters, hand drawn by third grade students and special education students at Rock Creek School. Each of the posters depicts the strong bond between children and animals.
County Animal Services Program Manager Michael Winters stated, "I was deeply taken by the love and compassion expressed in the drawings. When you teach kindness to animals, you help pave the way to a better future for all living beings."
The art project, organized by A New Hope Animal Foundation and Rock Creek School volunteer Audrey Reighley, provides an excellent community service project by grade school children.
Principal Suzanne Flint said, "Rock Creek School has received so much support from many individuals, groups, and organizations. Having some of our students create beautiful posters that encourage people to adopt homeless pets was a wonderful way for them to give back to our community. They are very proud of their artwork, and hope that everyone who sees the posters will be inspired to take a new pet home!"
The Compassion in Action posters will be on display from Monday, June 18 until Monday, July 2 at the Placer County animal shelter in North Auburn and will then be moved to the Placer County Administrative Center at the Domes, 175 Fulweiler Avenue, Auburn.

Ron Paul was lying in a hotel bed in Nome, wondering how he ever lost the caucus so badly. After all, he was the only candidate who even took the time to visit Alaska. Now he was just wishing that he could go home to Texas and forget all about politics when the phone rang. It was his campaign manager.
"Listen, Sarah Palin is mad as hell that you called her boy Gingrich a 'whimpering little Shih-Tzu' in a TV ad. She's on her way down there. You better get out, pronto!" Paul sprang to his feet and darted out the door, not even bothering to change out of his pajamas. He was running across the tundra, frantically looking for a place to hide, when he heard the sound of a helicopter overhead. He looked up and saw Palin leaning out, shotgun in hand, yelling, "Eat lead, Libertarian!"
Paul felt the sharp sting of buckshot in his posterior as he scrambled into a nearby hole in the ground. It turned out to be a natural gas pipeline. It swept him along for what seemed like miles before spitting him out in a strange and colorful land that was like nothing he had ever seen before.
Where am I?" he said aloud. Suddenly a little band of Smurfs appeared. Their leader stepped forward and said, "This is Oz, Mister Paul." "Well, it's all very nice," Paul replied, "but how can I get back home to Texas?" "That's easy," said the Smurf. "All you have to do is…" Just then, Barack Obama came riding in on a drone, accompanied by an army of flying bureaucrats. He was pointing at the ground and shouting, "Sign them up! Sign them up!"
"Run for your life!" shouted Grandpa Smurf. "They'll force you to buy healthcare insurance, whether you want it or not. If you want to get back to Texas, just follow the yellow brick road and ask the Wizard." Ron took off running down the road, and along the way he met and befriended some wacky characters who also needed the help of the Wizard: Rick Santorum wanted a brain, Newt Gingrich needed a heart, and Mitt Romney, whose birthday is a national holiday in the Cayman Islands, was in search of courage.
Continuing down the yellow brick road, the foursome watched overhead as a hot air balloon set a world record for the fastest free-fall. It broke a record previously held by Mitt Romney. When they finally reached the capitol building of Oz, they were ushered into a large rotunda, where they were greeted by a holographic figure in a red, white and blue suit. "I am the great and glorious voice of the people," said the figure, "and anyone who doesn't believe that is either a slut or a prostitute or both."
Ron and his companions were suitably awestruck at first, but then they noticed that the voice of the hologram seemed to be coming from behind a nearby curtain, so they opened it. There, seated at the control board was Rush Limbaugh. "Oh, hi," he said. "All right, I admit, I'm not really the voice of the people, but I am pretty powerful; this is the yawn of a new era, and I think I can help you all get rid of the whine flu."
In a solemn tone he began, "Rick Santorum, if global warming is not real, as you say it isn't, then why don't your sweaters have sleeves? I understand you are so conservative that you won't even take a bath with Mr. Bubble. I heard that the only airline you'll fly on is Virgin Airlines. Even I can't give you a brain, but I'll tell you what I'll do. Since you're always saying how people who think differently from you are 'disgusting,' or that they make you 'want to throw up,' I'm going to give you the ability to throw up at will. I hereby christen you 'Rick Gurgitate.' Now get out there and barf your fool head off!
"Newt Gingrich, let's face it, you're as huggable as cactus; you'll never have a heart, but what I can give you is a signed, notarized testimonial from your ex-wives. They hereby declare that you are 'gross, verbose, and severely grandiose.' I'm going to help you come out with a new iPhone app called 'flabby jowels.' And since I know you're a fan of 'Star Wars,' your campaign slogan will be 'May divorce be with you.'
"Mitt Romney, you can always tell a man who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but you can't tell him much. Foreplay for you is staring at your own baby pictures. I'm going to take you to one of those grungy roadside cafes where you can meet just plain folks for a photo-op. They have a $9.95 all-you-can-keep-down buffet.
"And Ron Paul, I know you just want to get back home to Texas and forget about running for president, so I brought in someone who's an expert in that regard. He can tell you exactly what to do." Rick Perry then appeared and shared his wisdom. "Ron, just click your heels together three times and say 'Oops!' in a real funny voice. I'll count off. Ready? One, two, uh, what comes after two? Oops!"
At that point the entire group went off to a fundraising event whose proceeds will benefit a new charity called "White Boys without iPads." After that, because so many people are angry at these guys, they are all going to be placed in the Jehovah's Witness Protection Program.

Possible thunderstorms on the way and we can tick off one of this years' lots -- the Merlot is in, safe and sound. Some of our grape customers have decided to wait a bit more and that's no surprise. Our section of Merlot is on top of a little hill, the "Coombsville Divide" which stands between the Tulocay Creek and Sarco Creek watersheds. The soil here is thin and very chalky so these vines wrap up their growing season a little before the rest of the block.
We read a lot about the ceremony in various wineries of the "blessing of the grapes" around these parts, a tradition that was a staple of the Christian Brothers winery way back when. I honestly don't even know if it's a brand anymore but Hess and Trinchero have some of their old properties in Napa. My brother and I have had many laughs imitating the old Chateau LaSalle commercials of yore ("Tastes like grapes, WHITE grapes"). Brother Timothy was of that age, a legendary producer in the Napa Valley and somewhat of an icon. Another icon, Robert Mondavi, also had a regular ceremony each year for this auspicious event as the first grapes hit the hopper.
From the production standpoint, this ceremony is a little inconvenient to the actual harvest staff as everything grinds to a halt to assemble all the people and snap some photos. Also, there's usually a little toasting and drinking of wine that doesn't really go with machinery, so I have always tried to sidestep this tradition. Instead, thanking the vineyard crew and, maybe a vine or two, has been the tradition. There is certainly a cosmic thread thought the process and formal religion is indeed appropriate, but once the grapes are ready to crush, most winemakers know that the sooner you start, the sooner you go home. That's important because there are no guarantees that everything will go smoothly. I've had days (nights, really), where I was heading home when the vineyard manager was just waking up for an early pick. Not today, though. Time to spread out the stems with a dramatic cloud show and beautiful, delicious fruit in the tank.
On y va! Here we go!!!

The resulting "SCYTHETALYA" will inherit brikwars along with most of the Earth and its survivors (after devouring Mike whole, his duty to the world complete) and then tearing reality apart and replacing everything, forever - with brikwars.

Fort Lauderdale Port of Call
Port Everglades is one of the busiest cruise ports in the world, often the start and end of cruises to the Caribbean. Located just next to the picturesque resort area of Fort Lauderdale, the port makes a great beach destination on its own.
The most popular, and best, activity in Fort Lauderdale for idle time before or after a cruise is spending all day hopping on and off the water taxis that navigate the elaborate canals of the city.
Port Everglades has amenities to handle more than three million passengers a year. Port Everglades is located conveniently close to the airport, giving extra time for a detour in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The cruise terminals have every conceivable amenity for embarking and disembarking passengers, including transportation between the city and airport.
Transfer from the adjacent airport is often provided in the cruise package. Port Everglades' bus stop is located in the Northport section and can connect to the city centre. A line of taxis are always available outside the cruise terminals and the ride into the city centre takes nearly 10 minutes. A host of rental car agencies are also available. When inside the city the water taxi is a fun way to get around.
There are a host of popular attractions in the Fort Lauderdale area, among the most popular is riding the water taxis or gondolas through the city's canal ways, especially Las Olas Boulevard. The beaches have been tamed from spring break infamy but are still extremely popular, especially the beachfront promenade. The Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment District downtown has many small attractions including museums, theatres, shopping and dining options.
Gilbert's 17th Street Grill - casual family restaurant with excellent burgers
Truluck's Restaurant - upscale seafood and steak restaurant
101 Ocean - classy but casual dining in the heart of city

Stone Crab
Fort Lauderdale is packed with shops and even offers shopping tours. Las Olas Boulevard and Riverfront are perfect for high end boutique window shopping.

Oct. 9, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Wellesley College field hockey team extended its winning streak to three following a 1-0 decision over MIT in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) game on Tuesday afternoon. Emily Hewitt earned her seventh shutout of the season and third in as many games for the Blue, which improved to 9-3 overall and 4-0 in conference play. With the loss, the Engineers' ledger lowered to 4-9 on the year and 1-4 in the NEWMAC.
Wellesley's Sally Scudder registered the first shot of the game after seven minutes elapsed. Both sides withstood several charges to the net during a 13-minute defensive battle. The Blue maintained possession of the ball for the remainder of the frame as it notched three shots and two penalty corners before ending the deadlock with 5:02 on the clock. Callie Lekas redirected a feed from Katie Sang at the top of the arc for her 14th goal and fourth game-winning tally of the year.
Wellesley carried the momentum into the second stanza, receiving a penalty corner within the first minute of play. The Blue nearly added an insurance goal on Kate Cushing's shot off the corner, but a diving defensive save by Katie Boothe kept MIT within striking distance. The Engineers had a chance to post the equalizer on Cristina Stefanescu's strike from the top of the circle, but Hewitt kicked the ball away for her only save of the game.
Wellesley recorded an 11-1 advantage in shots and a 4-0 edge in penalty corners. In net for MIT, Alexa Herman collected seven saves.
Both teams will continue NEWMAC play on Saturday, October 13. MIT will travel to Babson College while Wellesley will host WPI.

That was a great episode. After seeing what makes her tick, I like Kona/Frau more than ever now, and Kai proves to actually have a heart and care about something, for once. Also, I smile every time Frau goes "duhuhu".
Really looking forward to the next episode too, if it focuses on Airi. That was kind of hinted at earlier, and it has the potential to be really interesting (the real world/virtual world divide, etc.)
I'm still rooting for Akiho, though...

Wow! This episode was awesome. They almost broke through his brainwashing if he had not hung up he probably would not be dead. Too bad that Frau's mom was confirmed to be killed by the ones they brainwashed but before they did that she hid the last episode with the plot.
Someone evidently found the last film and leaked it which gave them a little concern but appears many have not realized what it means so far. Poor Frau now being labeled a terrorist. Frau, needs Kai and his strength she has been a hikimori so long and Airi is more like a sister to Kai than a love interest. Frau and Kai as Frau needs someone strong to support her and her emergence back into society.

So, yeah. Had to take a break at episode 7 cause university stuff was eating all my time. Now caught up in the last week.
Watched the 14th episode today and now I'm pretty much sitting at the edge of my seat. Pacing reminds me so much of Steins;Gate.
And damn, Aki you're screwed right now.

Man this is the best episode R;N , great tension, lots of happening, some answers yet the mystery deepens & Mister Pleiades ! nice that the robot club came through for Frau and not just Kai. they are a team now
frau FTW! Aki better do something or frau's gonna take kai away
she already got the kiss ( was that Kai's first? though he might not remember cause it looks like he's out cold ) and skin to skin hugging [of course that's the best way to warm somebody up ]aggressive even outside, coming to school to be with kai?

Aki never really sold me enough to call her 'best girl' and hung on the side with only childhood friend as an advantage. But she doesn't really seem to swing it around like she could, instead it just acts like some kind of titular reward she gets for knowing him longer. However, we're never really clued in as to what depth their relationship is.
Either way, it's nice to see Frau take the lead and start asserting herself and appearing more often in public and at school especially with the gang. Aki may very well get left behind if she doesn't do something to get herself further in Kai's mind, not just as a childhood friend, but as a girl, because I'm pretty sure Frau is going to carry away the victory at the current rate.
Not that I mind, I knew she was best girl from the first moment I saw her. This just solidified it and silenced so many haters and other people that might've not agreed (although considering opinions, I'm pretty sure their are still fanbases for the other heroines).

I like all of them, just for very different reasons. Aki for being a great robot fangirl, Frau/Kona for being a netizen, and even Junna for being tanned and voiced by Sora Tokui. There's no "best" here, it's all about how they support each other.

The cast does support each other, but Frau is perhaps my favorite female character.
And let's face it, in terms of the far less important romance aspect, she's winning.

Aki just has this childhood friend thing going on and hasn't done anything more. She comes off more as a robot fangirl with a dash of chuni byo. Aki is the female character that I like the least in this title.
If you don't work for it, you don't deserve it imo. Frau is working on it. Go Frau!

He's manned up thru out the series. He's on the floor with a girl on top and had a woody. He also got his first kiss and possibly more. Chuni byo is resolved.
And..it's not like he pushed Frau away when she grabbed his arm. That is a "couple" sign.

He got kissed in the mouth. He prob knows what was happening.
And... deviation from source material isn't new for adaptations if it gets to the desired ending. It is possible to solve another girl's issues and still have a relationship with one of the girls. Kanon anime did it.

It tends to be one of the better formats when adapted into anime as well, usually.
And I agree with you, orion. That's exactly the issue. It isn't a matter of Aki and Kai being childhood friends, and that being a strong bond in-and-of itself. There's a difference between being seen as a 'friend', a 'childhood friend', a 'best friend' and being seen as a 'WOMAN'.

And with Shuffle, the most popular girl with all subgroups got the anime ending.
In the end, the ending that you are used to viewing is prob the most profitable ending to animate. The anime is just a promotion for the franchise. They can say "Watch this ending and play the game for your favorite ending." or "Watch this ending and read the manga and buy the audio dramas for more from the ending that you like.".

TMZ has obtained a copy of the letter Jared Paul, co-producer of the "DWTS" tour, sent to Hillary -- inviting her to shake her groove thang -- on one of the next stops on the tour. Paul sent the letter after Hills told Tyra Banks in an interview that she might like to compete on "DWTS" someday. Depending on today's primary results, it may happen sooner than she thinks!
Hillary knows how to hustle for votes, but can she do the hustle?!
A call to a rep for Hillary Clinton was not immediately returned.

Ant West has been issued a retroactive ban by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and has had almost all the results for the last 18 months declared invalid.
All of West's results between the Le Mans 2012 race and 20th October 2013 have been declared null and void, and will be scrapped from the official Moto2 results.
The retroactive ban goes back to a failed doping test at Le Mans in 2012. West had bought a supplement energy drink without checking the ingredients, and subsequently failed a drug test.
The energy drink (Mesomorph) turned out to contain the banned substance methylhexaneamine, traces of which were found in West's urine.

Opinion: Economically distressed regions in the U.S. cannot be forgotten
EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - The American economy is roaring.
Consumer confidence is at a 16-year high. National unemployment is at a 16-year low. The stock market is breaking record after record.
What is hiding behind those big-picture numbers, however, is that there are areas of the country which have been left behind.
A recent study by the Economic Innovation Group found a growing relationship between economic prosperity, or lack thereof, and geographic location.
The South appears to be the one overarching place with the most economic distress.
So, what is the solution?
There need to be economic incentives to boost business development in regions which are lagging behind.
That is where the Investing in Opportunity Act could play a key role.
The bill would allow for investors to defer capital gains tax if they reinvest into low-income communities that receive "opportunity zone" status. The bill also incentivizes long-term investment by actually lowering or even eliminating the amount of taxes paid on income from such investments.
This proposed legislation has received bipartisan support, as well as the backing of the president.
This issue is part of the larger discussion on tax reform. The president is rolling out his tax reform plan this week. It will include significant tax breaks for businesses. The reforms should incorporate the ideas of the investing in opportunity act.
The bottom line is this. The areas in this country that are struggling cannot be forgotten. Broad tax reform should ensure that the economy continues to strengthen in all parts of our united states.

Bitch Ball, a game invented at Hays kansas, fort hays state university, weist hall, floor 5. a game in which you sit in a small room with chairs across from one another and throw a ball at the wall bouncing it around. If the ball hits someone, if he does not get it then someone must chuck the ball at him, hitting his as fucking hard as he can. The official BITCH of the game is the first one to give up and leave, the beat up bitch is the one with the most welts. The game continues for as long as you can take it. ( This game MUST be played with a sky ball, or with multiple sky balls for more bitch making)
"dude lets go play some bitch ball again"
"NO fuck that!"

a bitch ball is a person, animal or thing which has so many bitch like qualities, that you would want to ball them up and throw it at their face.
by Drako the Dragon Puppy May 24, 2009
A person who goes along with plans to have fun until it involves commiting an immoral act, at which point thier balls shrink and they start preaching morality. Basically, someone who does not give in to peer pressure.
We were having a good time until the bitch balls qouted his mother, the bible and Karl Marx on why we shouldn't waste our time having fun at the expense of others.
by Kung-fu Jesus July 28, 2004
Audacity, as viewed by a feminist woman. A man who degrades women without shame and is being a bitch but cannot be called a bitch because the word bitch by itself is for females. Women Unite.
Can you believe the bitch balls on that dude... wanting anal on a first date?

Opponents of President Barack Obama's sweeping health-care legislation may get another crack at overturning it as the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday said a Christian college could pursue a challenge tied to the First Amendment.
Continue Reading Below
A federal appeals court in 2011 had rejected a legal challenge to the law filed by Liberty University. The Lynchburg, Va.-based school objected to two aspects of the legislation: the individual mandate which requires all Americans to purchase health-care insurance or face fines, and a requirement that employers of a certain size obtain insurance for their employers.
The appeals court said at the time it lacked jurisdiction to rule on the school's suit and Liberty University promptly appealed to the Supreme Court.
In June the Supreme Court upheld the legislation in a controversial 5-4 vote, ruling that the mandate is a tax and therefore constitutional.
Liberty University's appeal of the 2011 ruling was rejected by the high court shortly after the law was declared constitutional.
However, the school has sought another hearing of its challenge based on its belief that the earlier court was mistaken in ruling that it lacked jurisdiction in the case. The Supreme Court's decision Monday allows the new challenge to move ahead.

Tom Felton pratar om Robert Pattinson
Both consistently dominate the box office, Twitter and, most recently, the MTV Movie Awards.
But what happens when the two come face to face? Well, we'll let Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in Potter and who won Best Villain answer that for you.
"It's no question really," Tom said cutely and smugly when we asked who would win in a fight between Edward and Draco. "A wand is going to beat...Oh, wait. I dare not answer that. But yeah, let's go with a wand over fangs for now."
We'd have to agree; score one for Potter. So how about their cult Twitter followers? We were surprised when we stumbled upon the insane fan base for Mr. Felton on Sunday at the MTV bash.
"That might be equal," Felton laughed. However, unlike Kristen Stewart's feelings toward the new wave of social media, Tom's all for it.
"It's totally cool. Twitter sprung up out of nowhere," Tom said, adding how he thought it was a cool way to interact with the fans. "It's great. There are so many fantastic supporters out there. I can't thank them enough. They're awesome."
Then again, Felton and his GF are hardly as hounded as Rob and Kristen, so can't say we blame the babe for hating the new form technology.
Wands down for a second, though, Tom had nothing but great things to say about good mate R.Pattz, whom he worked with in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
"I hadn't seen him for a long time actually, and then I saw him for his Remember Me premiere, and I was amazed that he remembered me," Felton joked. That was the first time Tom had seen Rob since he became a worldwide phenom.
"Rob's very sweet and just a very cool guy. He's actually very unaffected by all this. He's kind of the beacon of hope for life after Harry Potter. I'm very proud of him."

Three electrocutions in the Lake of the Ozarks last July left many worried about the safety of the water where most docks are wired for electricity.
Three electrocutions in the Lake of the Ozarks last July left many worried about the safety of the water where most docks are wired for electricity. As another summer season begins and the initial emotion from the tragedies has faded, officials hope dock owners continue to keep safety in mind and take preventative measures to protect the family and friends who may be swimming nearby.
Getting a professional inspection
Seven area fire protection district and one village offer dock inspections.
The Camdenton Fire Department and Osage Beach and Lake Ozark fire protection districts will do a courtesy inspection within their district or city boundaries. But if it's an older dock — pre-dating the 2006 implementation of codes at the lake — Lake Ozark Fire Marshal James Doyle recommends getting the code checklist from Ameren Missouri and having a qualified electrician to look it over.
If the fire marshal finds something that doesn't match the 2006 code, the owner is obligated to fix it even if it's not life-threatening, Doyle says. With work being done on the dock, the owner must then also pay to go through the permit process with the LOFPD.
Call the OBFPD at 573-348-1221, and the LOFPD at 573-365-3202. The Camdenton Fire Department can be reached at 573-346-6260.
If anybody has an immediate concern of danger regarding their dock, a community dock or a dock in their cove, Mid County Fire Protection District will check the dock at no charge. If a routine inspection is sought, the district asks the owner to pay $50 and fill out an application committing themselves to fixing any problems that might be found.
The problem they've seen with courtesy inspections, says Mid County Fire Marshal Chris Bachman, is that dock owners don't always want to correct the issues that are found. With the inspection done as a courtesy, the district is in a gray area on enforcement.
Call Mid County at 573-346-2049.
Sunrise Beach Fire Protection District requires a $50 permit fee for docks of four wells or less. That includes two inspections — the initial check and a follow-up to inspect any changes that may have been required. Call the SBFPD at 573-374-4411.
Rocky Mount Fire Protection District also charges $50. They may be reached at 573-392-4301.
Northwest Fire Protection District does dock inspections as well. The code official for NWFPD could not be reached in time for this article. Call 573-347-3110 for more information on what they offer.
The Village of Four Seasons is the only entity offering dock inspections that is not a fire protection district. It started its program following the electrocutions last summer.
The village will do an inspection of a dock's ground fault circuit interruptor at no charge, but a full dock inspection is $50. Call 573-216-1689 to make an appointment.
Getting an electrician
On May 21, Ameren Missouri hosted an electrical seminar with more than 60 electricians in attendance. To promote consistency, local code officials gave presentations on requirements and answered any questions from electricians.
In addition to making sure an electrician is bonded and insured, Bachman recommends getting to know the electrician before hiring them to work on your dock.
"Just ask some basic questions. You need to be comfortable with the person you're selecting," he says.
Ask for qualifications and experience in dock work, Bachman says. Ask how many docks they wire a year and whether docks are their focus or something they rarely do. Also find out their success rate in dock inspections — does their work typically pass on the first inspection or do they have to do a lot of re-inspections.
The fire protection districts cannot recommend or advise against any particular electrician. They ensure code requirements are fulfilled.
One-time inspection not enough
Any time water and electricity exist in the same environment, caution is advised on an ongoing basis no matter how good the electrician or professional inspection.
Code officials caution against dock owners getting an inspection done and thinking that they're done. Fire marshals recommend owners check their dock's electrical system on a routine basis.
"If we checked your dock today, in reality you would need to check it next month and on a routine basis. Depending on how rough the water is where the dock is located, you might need to check it every week," Bachman says.
Check all the pivot points, and check to make sure conduits are intact.
Make sure there aren't any wires hanging down into the water.
Doyle recommends checking your dock you go on it as well as being aware of how your neighbor's dock looks.
Make sure the breakers haven't tripped. If they have it shows something is wrong.
Test the ground fault circuit interruptor (GFCI). For just $8-15, a GFCI tester is a cheap and simple way to make sure the electrical system's safety shut-off is working, says Bachman. Found at almost any hardware store, these simple testers are something that every dock owner should have and use, he says.
The GFCI is the automatic safety shut-off of an electrical system, but it can malfunction. And if it's not working, you're not protected, Bachman says.
There are also devices that test for voltage in the water and will sound an alarm if current is detected.
If a dock owner decides to invest in one of these alarms whether it's locally or nationally made, Bachman says the device needs to be certified to meet national standards.
The most common testing entity is Underwriters Labratory. Look for the official UL marking on the product. That means it has been tested to ensure that the product will work 100 percent of the time and not give false information.
What to do if you feel a tingle
"The safest dock is a dock with no electricity honestly," says Doyle.
Despite all precautions, systems can fail.
If you feel a tingle while you're in the water or when you grab the dock, immediately get away from the power source.
"The typical reaction is to get out as fast as you can when in reality that is probably where the source is coming from," Bachman says.
Swim away from the shore and yell for help, he says, and have somebody on land shut off the power to the dock.
Lake area fire departments strongly encourage all docks to have a disconnect at the shoreline. It gives the immediate ability to shut off electricity in case of a failure.
This is a local requirement above the national code standard, according to Bachman, but an upgrade is not required.
Doyle also recommends having life safety devices near the dock and making sure someone else knows you're getting in the water.

Prenda's Brett Gibbs Tries To Avoid Answering Questions About Alan Cooper By Dismissing Case
from the cut-and-run dept
In one case involving Ingenuity 13, Prenda was represented by lawyer Brett Gibbs. Opposing lawyer Morgan Pietz asked Gibbs to confirm whether or not Ingenuity 13's Alan Cooper was a different Alan Cooper than Steele's caretaker, leading to a ridiculous conversation in which Gibbs played dumb and refused to answer the simple question. Pietz than took the issue to the court, who ordered Gibbs to answer some questions about Cooper. Gibbs' response was to claim that the judge should be thrown off the case for bias. Since that failed, Gibbs has moved onto the next strategy.
Simply try to walk away. He filed a notice saying he was dismissing the case (though he could file it again at some point). Effectively, he's trying to cut and run before having to answer those questions about Alan Cooper. Of course, in a situation where he should be trying to get out of court as quietly as possible, he chose, instead, to give the judge the equivalent of the middle finger: whining that he was dropping the case because the judge had made it "futile" to continue.
Plaintiff maintains its contention that it is factually impossible to identify a John Doe through an IP address without obtaining ISP subscriber information; as such, Plaintiff now dismisses this action without prejudice in order to avoid the futility of attempting to litigate these cases under such circumstances.Of course, that's got nothing to do with anything. Gibbs appears to not want to answer the questions. Unfortunately, he may not be so lucky. After the case was already dismissed, the judge ordered a status report, and a future conference, concerning the questions raised by Pietz.
As a lawyer explained to the Fight Copyright Trolls site, it appears that, while the judge can't stop the case from being closed, he can still continue this line of exploration:
...the Judge retains authority/jurisdiction as to all remaining collateral issues such as sanctions as well as potential inappropriate conduct of counsel/parties. I believe that since the discovery order was issued after the dismissal, it is likely that the Court sees the dismissal as potentially motivated to hide inappropriate conduct or even perjury etc… Technically the judge could still allow discovery on the Alan Cooper issue or even order Gibbs or Steele or even "Alan Cooper" to appear and testify. If they refuse, the court can invoke its plenary contempt power. That's when the ____ hits the fan.We'll see where this goes, but Gibbs trying to sneak out on answering the questions, while at the same time whining about it to the judge, just seems to be him asking for trouble.

Philadelphia, PA Map
The Necks
Ars Nova Workshop is honored to present legendary Australian trio The Necks in a very rare Philadelphia appearance.
The Los Angeles Times writes, "A magic act masquerading as a piano trio, this Australian group delivers long-form improvisations that shift with such patient beauty that it casts a bit of a trance."
The Necks convened in the mid-80s as a joint endeavor between three first-class improvisers from the Sydney scene—pianist Chris Abrahams, drummer Tony Buck, and bassist Lloyd Swanton. The project's methodology could be compared to that of op artists like Bridget Riley or Richard Anuszkiewicz, whose paintings arrange static shapes and contours into illusory patterns that seem to defy the laws of physics. Over the course of eighteen albums, the Necks' glacial meditations on deceptively simple musical themes reveal more on closer inspection. The Guardian writes, "Like seeing a world in a grain of sand, The Necks permit us to hear a whole new world of music in a sliver of sound."
Chris Abrahams (B. 1961, Sydney) made a name for himself in Australia as part of Mark Simmonds' Freeboppers in the 80s and as a close collaborator of Melanie Oxley's in the 90s. Abrahams can currently be found in close playing partnerships with Australian composer Anthony Pateras, German percussionist Burkhard Beins, and Italian laptop composer/linguistic deconstructionist Alessandro Bosetti.
Apart from the Necks, Lloyd Swanton (B. 1960) is best known in Australia as the leader of the long running, hard-flowing collective the Catholics, which has received multiple ARIA Award nominations (Australian Grammys). For fourteen years, Lloyd Swanton hosted Mixed Marriage, a popular program on Eastside Radio in Sydney that examined cross-sections of jazz and other musical styles.
Tony Buck (B. 1962, Sydney) is regarded as one of Australia's most creative and adventurous exports, having been involved in a diverse array of projects including Japanese trio PERIL with Otomo Yoshihide and Kato Hideki. Tony has played, toured or recorded with, among others, John Zorn, Tom Cora, Phil Minton, The EX, Peter Brotzmann, Hans Reichel, The Little Red Spiders, Clifford Jordan, Kletka Red, Han Bennink, Shelley Hirsch, Wayne Horvitz, and Ground Zero.
Ars Nova Workshop is a Philadelphia nonprofit jazz and experimental music presenting organization. ANW informs, inspires, and challenges listeners to elevate the role of jazz, improvisation, and experimental music in contemporary culture. ANW events provide a forum for discourse, emergent trends in contemporary music, and unique forms of cultural exchange, while nurturing a diverse community for innovative music.

Eric Swalwell prepares to join Congress
SUNDAY PROFILE / Eric Swalwell
Eric Swalwell is the one 49ers fan in a family of Raiders faithful, the one Democrat in a family of Republicans.
And of a number of potential candidates, he was the one to challenge 20-term Rep. Pete Stark for an East Bay congressional seat. Or, as some thought, he was the one foolish enough to take on Stark, and in turn the Democratic machine.
But Swalwell won.
For Swalwell, 32, who will be sworn in Thursday, it was a classic case of the underdog emerging triumphant. He likened his campaign to this year's Oakland A's - a ragtag bunch of rookies without much money who found a way to win in the back end of the season.
His underdog status was bolstered by his blue-collar background. His dad was a longtime police officer and his mom is a secretary. He was the first in his family to go to college.
But Swalwell, the underdog, is also an overachiever.
He ran for president of his elementary school as a fourth-grader and lost. He ran again as a fifth-grader and won, and even then, he remembers, he was afraid of being a "phony" who failed to deliver.
"From an early age, I felt like I had to do something," he said in an interview. "I didn't want to just go through fifth grade, eighth grade - I felt a pressure to do something."
Rising to the challenge
Winning a core Bay Area congressional seat used to amount to a lifetime appointment. Democrats racked up easy victories, serving for decades.
But with the state's new primary system, in which the top two finishers advance to the general election regardless of party, the door was open for another Democrat to challenge Stark in the redrawn 15th district.
Several more-prominent candidates stepped aside after Stark announced he would seek a 21st term, including state Sen. Ellen Corbett and former Obama administration official Ro Khanna, who had raised more than $1 million for a run.
But Swalwell, a Dublin city councilman and Alameda County deputy district attorney, entered the 2012 race. His family worried the run would damage his budding career, while others were more derisive.
"There's a ladder for these sorts of things and you're not even a rung," a high-ranking political official, whom Swalwell would not name, told him at the time.
Serving the district
In taking on Stark, Swalwell was going up against Stark's endorsers - big labor, Bay Area representatives, U.S. senators from California and President Obama. But Swalwell believed the district would not be served well by Stark, so he set out to fix that.
Swalwell is competitive and stubborn. He seems unable to hold back when he sees a problem that needs addressing. And he cannot stand it when people do not live up to their promises.
"If you say you're going to do something, you better damn well do it," he said.
That is the attitude he is bringing to Congress, at a time when Bay Area congressional seats are no longer the safe territory they once were for incumbents.
"My back's not big enough for the number of targets on it," he said. "I can't take this for granted at all. If I get comfortable back there, there's going to be somebody who wants to do it and is hungrier for it, and I won't last very long."
Growing up
The oldest of four boys, Swalwell was born in Iowa, where his father, also named Eric, was the police chief of the city of Algona.
He said his father, whom he credits for his own commitment to public service, lost his job when he refused to forgive parking tickets his officers had given the mayor's friends. The family then moved to California in 1986, eventually settling in Dublin when Swalwell was 11.
Swalwell went to Dublin High School, where he played football, soccer and tennis. He also was involved with mock trial.
"He's very down to earth, but in high school, he was ambitious, he was an overachiever, and I would say now that's the same thing," said Tim Sbranti, the mayor of Dublin, who was Swalwell's economics teacher and coached him in tennis and mock trial at Dublin High.
Sports was Swalwell's ticket to college. He earned a soccer scholarship to Campbell University in North Carolina, but after two years there and two broken thumbs took him away from the game, he transferred to the University of Maryland.
"When I got injured, I think I was starting to sense that there was more to the world than just sports," he said. "This dream of playing professional soccer probably wasn't the best track for me."
Town-gown liaison
It was at Maryland, from which he graduated and then earned a law degree, that his involvement in government grew. He was vice president of the student body and interned for then-East Bay Rep. Ellen Tauscher in 2001 and 2002.
When Swalwell was an undergrad, the town-gown relationship grew strained because Maryland students would wreak havoc through College Park after basketball games.
He lobbied the City Council to add a student liaison to the council, and he was the first student to hold the seat. To help ease the tension, Swalwell, a member of Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity, organized cleanups of the city with Greek houses.
Eric Olson, a College Park councilman at the time, remembered one community meeting at which Swalwell talked about improving rapport between the city and students.
"By the end of the meeting, he had the community eating out of his hand as a 20-whatever-year-old," said Olson, who is now a county councilman in Prince George's County, Md. "He persuaded people through his actions. It was not just fluff - he had substance."
Swalwell is clean-cut, the only infraction on his public record being a speeding violation from 2000. When asked about their favorite Swalwell stories, his friends spoke about his time in student government or when he organized a carwash to benefit a man he had met during his legal aid work in law school.
Creative solutions
Friends said Swalwell feels compelled to solve problems when he recognizes them, often in creative ways.
When the Maryland state government cut education funding, for example, a simple protest would not do. Swalwell helped organize a mock funeral instead, and a 30-car motorcade replete with a police escort and a rented hearse headed from College Park to the capital of Annapolis to demonstrate against the cuts.
At the recent lottery for the new representatives to pick their House offices, where some freshmen perform good-luck rituals before drawing their numbers, Swalwell played "Don't Stop Believing" from his phone. It didn't work - he drew 61 out of 70.
"I stopped believing," he joked.
Prosecutorial style
Swalwell said his style as a congressman will likely hark back to his time as a prosecutor, with an emphasis on offering sufficient evidence to back up his arguments to colleagues.
Nancy O'Malley, the Alameda County district attorney, said Swalwell is a skilled communicator who has trained himself to react calmly to unexpected developments.
One of Swalwell's first trials as a lawyer was a domestic violence case, O'Malley recalled. On the stand, the witness recanted her story of how she got her cuts and bruises, but Swalwell still convinced the jury to convict the defendant.
"He's committed to really making sure the right thing gets done in the courtroom," O'Malley said.
Council record
In Swalwell's two years on the Dublin City Council, he worked with businesses to reduce certain fees and streamline the permitting process - initiatives that were "not really all that glamorous," Sbranti said, but that contributed to economic development.
Swalwell also pushed to expand grape growing in Dublin and to try to incorporate the city into the Livermore Valley wine region, Sbranti said. (Swalwell says his friends tease him for drinking light beer.)
In person, Swalwell comes across as alternately funny and serious. In a recent interview in his Pleasanton campaign office, he sat up straight and was more rigid with his hand movements when he talked about why voters had sent him to Washington or what he wanted to do for his constituents. But as he talked about his life outside his newly elected office, he appeared more relaxed as he settled into a couch.
Swalwell, who is single, is close with his family, but he and his Republican dad have been banned from talking politics at their Sunday dinners. He lives with one of his brothers in Dublin.
His parents, Eric and Vicky Swalwell, said their son is not comfortable deviating from set plans. Swalwell also acknowledged his impatience, which he said he will have to learn to overcome in Congress, where initiatives can move at a sloth-like pace.
Capitol tour
Heading to Congress is a bit like coming full circle for Swalwell.
When he was in Washington recently for orientation, he returned to the Tortilla Coast, the Capitol Hill-neighborhood hangout where he had worked as a server during his intern days.
"I walked in there and I smelled the Tex-Mex cooking coming from the kitchen and it just kind of put me back there 11 years earlier," he said.
But some things have changed. When he was a congressional intern, he also worked at Washington Sports Club and remembered handing towels to Rep. Sandy Levin, D-Mich., as he came in to play squash. When Swalwell was back in Washington last month after the election, he found himself sitting next to Levin at a dinner.
And instead of leading tours of the Capitol, he and his fellow freshmen representatives were led on a tour by Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md.
"He started taking us in these back halls, the places that I was never allowed to go as an intern," Swalwell said. "And then we went through a kind of discreet door and next thing we knew we were all on the Senate floor. You could just tell that everyone in the class was awestruck. For me at least, that's when things set in. I was there, this is real."

2 hurt in small plane crash near Williams
Ukiah men were heading to Lake Tahoe
2 hurt in small plane crash near Williams
Ukiah men were heading to Lake Tahoe
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —
Two Ukiah men flying a small plane to Lake Tahoe were hurt in a crash on Tuesday, according to the Colusa County Sheriff's Department.
First, light smoke formed in the Lancair 360 plane's cockpit, and then it got heavier -- prompting a fire about 11:30 a.m.
The pilot then crashed into an almond orchard, Colusa County Sgt. Kevin Erdelt said.
Officials in Colusa, along with several in Williams, learned of a plane down near East Camp Road and Highway 20, just west of Williams.
One of the men was airlifted to Enloe Hospital in Chico, suffering from major injuries.
Officials sent the other in an ambulance to a Colusa County hospital. He will be transferred to another facility, Erdelt said.
The FAA and the NTSB are investigating the plane wreck.

Andrus said part of the problem stems from the fact that the signals don't offer any lag time once the button is pushed.
"As soon as you push the button, the light starts flashing for the pedestrian to cross, and it also starts flashing for traffic," she said.
Because there is no delay to give vehicles time to stop before pedestrians are signaled to walk, the signals are creating confusion for the pedestrians who are waiting to cross.
Andrus said she has been working with the Utah Department of Transportation to smooth out the issues, but so far no final solution has been reached.
"They're hoping that if we just spread the word and educate people it will get better," she said. However, Andrus pointed out that due to the high number of tourists that visit Moab, the turnover rate for both pedestrians and drivers is high, especially at this time of year.
The current signals use a flashing yellow light, which indicates to both the pedestrian and drivers to proceed with caution. If the crosswalk is clear of pedestrians, a car can go through.
Kevin Kitchen, public information officer for UDOT's Region 4, said a pedestrian traffic study by UDOT showed that the pedestrian crossing lights were deemed the best option.
"The city coordinated with UDOT and requested that the pedestrian traffic studies be performed. Based on the results of the study and engineering judgment, it was determined that the marked crosswalks were warranted at these two locations, but that other pedestrian safety features were also necessary ..." Kitchen said in an email to The Times-Independent. "These two areas warranted a pedestrian signal but did not warrant a full traffic signal."
Kitchen said UDOT has installed similar lights in other communities and they have been effective.
"UDOT has installed these types of crossings in high pedestrian areas in Cedar City and in Kaysville and they have been found to be effective in those locations, especially when enforced," Kitchen said in an email to The Times-Independent.
If the current setup doesn't resolve the issues, Andrus said the city may consider going to a signal that actually uses a red light, forcing traffic to stop. When that type of signal is activated by a pedestrian the lights would flash yellow to warn oncoming traffic to slow down, then turn red. The red light for vehicles would be accompanied by a green "walk" light for pedestrians, which would turn to a flashing hand. After a set amount of time, the solid red light would turn to a flashing red, to indicate that approaching cars should stop, check the crosswalk, and then proceed through it if it is clear.
Andrus said she will continue to work with UDOT to try and find a solution.
Kitchen said drivers should always exercise caution when approaching an intersection or pedestrian crossing and pedestrians should always keep an eye out for traffic when attempting to cross any street.
Times-Independent reporter Lisa J. Church contributed to this story.

As part of eating and blogging and living a little healthier in the new year, Bob's Red Mill and the California Olive Ranch teamed up with the Virtual Potluck crew to bring us a Healthy Holiday Cooking Challenge as well as a product giveaway. Each blogger got four different grains from Bob's Red Mill and four different extra virgin olive oils from the California Olive Ranch. We are all tasked with pairing the grains and oils in four dishes (consisting of an appetizer, side dish, entree, and dessert) over the month of January. I'll get to the giveaway later, but for now, let's check out my appetizer!
Above are some of the ingredients that I used. I selected Bob's Red Mill's whole wheat pastry flour and the Arbosana olive oil to go along with some other excellent ingredients like elk sausage, Serrano peppers, and black beans.
Elk Sausage and Black Bean Soup:
Over medium-high, heat 3T olive oil in dutch oven and brown elk sausage on all sides
Remove the sausage when it is done browning and place aside to cool
Add another 3T olive oil and 2T butter to dutch oven and stir until butter melts
Add 1/2C whole wheat flour and stir with a wooden spoon to make a roux
Continue to make roux, stirring regularly, until it turns a dark brown color
When the roux is sufficiently dark, add one medium yellow onion, diced, and stir
After about a minute, add one green bell pepper, diced, and stir
After another minute or so, add two stalks of celery, diced (about 1C) and stir
Add six cloves of garlic, minced, and continue to stir
The roux and veggies will all come together, but don't worry about that
Add three diced Serrano peppers, cored and de-seeded
Add three 19oz cans of black beans, or equivalent if you had dried black beans and re-hydrated them
Add 1QT chicken stock and stir the mixture until it is consistent
Slice the elk sausage into roughly 1/4" slices and return to the pot
Add 2t kosher salt, 2t freshly ground black pepper, 3 bay leaves, 1/2t smoked paprika, 1t ground cumin, a shot (1.5oz) tequila, 1T Cajun seasoning like Slap Ya Mama, and six diced green onions
Thanks to my Harb's Oasis herb garden, I was also able to secure some very fresh tarragon, thyme, parsley, and cilantro. I added 1T of fresh chopped tarragon, 1.5T fresh chopped cilantro, 1.5t fresh chopped thyme, and 1T of fresh chopped flat leaf parsley
Allow the soup to get up to a boil then reduce to simmer for at least an hour, stirring occasionally, to allow all the flavors to come together. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
When ready, serve in a bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions, as seen below.

Anyone knows why GLMark2 is not included in the PTS? It works quite well, at least in Ubuntu (I downloaded it from the usual repositories).
I do see some complications: it seems like my atom chip needs to run glmark2-es, and even with that it segfaults. The Radeon GC from the desktop runs it ok with the Open Source driver and segfaults with Catalyst. The other Intel Celeron laptops run it fine.
And it seems GPL, why would it not be included?
