ACC Morning Five: 11.07.11 EditionPosted by mpatton on November 7th, 2011
- Fox Sports Carolinas: Fox Sports' Andrew Jones offers a throwback list of the top ten players "capable of significantly enhancing their team's fortunes." I only call the list throwback because Jones ignores the two extreme geographic points of the ACC (Boston College and Miami) when constructing his list. In general I agree with all of his selections, though I possibly would've substituted Miles Plumlee for Ryan Kelly based on recent reports. For Boston College, I would've chosen Danny Rubin (the most productive of the Eagles' only three returning players), and I would choose sophomore Rion Brown for Miami.
- Boston Globe: Speaking of Boston College, Patrick Heckmann is hoping to make an impact on the Eagles this year, coming by way of Germany. This Globe piece gives a little insight into the recruiting world for international prospects, and Heckmann is a frosh out of Germany with a pretty unique story. He's also a 6'6″ slasher who will get plenty of playing time for a young team. The story offers an especially interesting look at Heckmann's decision in choosing Boston College over playing for a club team in Germany.
- Fayetteville Observer: Looking for more lists? Bret Strelow and Sammy Batten compiled a pretty interesting list of superlatives for ACC basketball that will definitelybe good for starting debates. Sure, Milton Jennings is a great breakout candidate and Staats Battle definitely has the coolest name in the conference, but is Andre Dawkins really the most underrated dunker? He dunks almost rarely, which makes each time feel special, but we need to see more frequency in order to garner a superlative. Also, I wonder why they chose to ask a freshman (Wake Forest's Travis McKie) about the toughest arena. For the record he chose Clemson's Littlejohn Coliseum, though this coming year will be McKie's first trip to the unfriendly confines of Cameron Indoor Stadium.
- TarHeelBlue.com: North Carolina and NBA legend James Worthy will be elected into the college hoops hall of fame alongside of Virginia's Ralph Sampson. Worthy was the first overall pick of the 1982 NBA Draft, led the Tar Heels to Dean Smith's first NCAA Championship that same year (scoring 28 points on 13-17 shooting in the championship game), and is already a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
- Searching For Billy Edelin and Fayetteville Observer: A couple of ACC previews and predictions with more "controversial" picks. For Nick Fasulo at Searching For Billy Edelin, the conference is down. Fasulo's most interesting predictions come in his individual accolades, where he picked Jim Larranaga as Coach of the Year and Tyler Zeller as Player of the Year. Personally, I see Zeller as more of a complement (as he was at the end of last season), but "everything is in place for this guy. Assuming he stays healthy, there should be no […] unexpected things to limit his production," Fasulo tweeted. The Fayetteville Observer's contrary nature shows up in its projected finish: Unlike the media, the newspaper projects Virginia to finish eighth in the conference (NIT-bound), while Miami takes the fourth place spot and earns an eight-seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Around the greater world of college sports, one of the most sickening alleged scandals in the history of college athletics came to light over the weekend. In a story that will turn your stomach, former Penn State football defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky has been accused of 40 crimes (21 felonies and 19 misdemeanors) involving eight sexual abuse victims who were minors at the time. The worst part is that the PSU athletic department reportedly knew about some of the crimes and never reported them to the proper authorities despite extensive discussions internally. While the article is tough to read, Sara Ganim of The Patriot News does a great job breaking down the details of the case. As of today, Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley has been placed on administrative leave and Senior Vice President for business and finance Gary Schultz has stepped down (both have been accused of perjury), but I'd be surprised if the punishments end here based on the heinous nature of these allegations.

salecamel necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 30 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
Salecamel.com is a new shopping search engine that allows customers to find sale items from retailers across the web. This is a unique concept that aims to make online shopping more fun, while saving customers money like never before.
The site went live a couple weeks ago just to ensure we had a presence during the holiday shopping season and can be seen at http://www.salecamel.com. Now that we are transitioning to the new year its time to take this site to the next level. I want to be competing with the likes of bizrate and pricegrabber. Do your best.
Online bargain seekers. As mentioned they use sites like pricegrabber and bizrate but I think those feed too cookie cutter and boring, so I'm looking at a more unique design.
1. Need a new logo, one that integrates with the new design of the site but can also be used outside of the site if needed. Initially I liked the idea of having the salecamel.com name out of the website completely but I'm open to bringing that back into the logo, not sure.
2. I like the style of twitter and other web2.0 designs. Very Important.
3. I want the site to be fun and cartoony, however it has to have a focus on usability. I generally like the layout how I have it as it is easy to sort, filter and search. The main problem is the flow and graphics look amateur.
4. Maybe spice it up with camel related features (think desert, cactus, etc)
5. Must be practical to cut up the design and make a sleek website using the images + css. So be creative but don't make something that can't be built.
PS: I will be looking for someone who can do the css work once the graphic designer is completed. Contact me with offers!

Coudray explores the impact of digital design in the Internet age and its repercussions for printers.
All of us are familiar with the pitfalls and challenges we face in dealing with digital artwork and the countless electronic configurations in which it may be presented to us. Yet, just as we have with the screen-printing process, we somehow find a way to make digital designs work. Granted, the results are often not exactly what we thought they would be, but we plod along, making gradual improvements in our prepress procedures and learning from each new challenge.
We know that there has to be a better way in the long run if we are to remain competitive. But with designers facing an ever-increasing list of end uses for their images and a growing collection of tools for creating them, we can only expect the obstacles facing our prepress technicians to become greater. To better understand the challenges that lie ahead, let's start by looking at the evolution of digital artwork.
The rise of digital art
The evolution of digital art, as we know it, has followed a relatively predictable course. Conventional layout and design migrated to the electronic desktop in the early 1990s. Screen printers watched to see if the sky would fall as they hurriedly invested in new methods, technology, and training. Everything about this digital art was almost, sorta' there. No one really knew what was going on, and there was plenty of blame to go around whenever a job went bad or did not live up to expectations.
Through all of this, our clients participated in varying ways. Initially they had their art prepared through ad agencies or traditional graphic designers. We printers were always the ones who had to figure out what the agency or designer missed--the same as we did when art preparation was all analog. But gradually a transition began to take place.
Two things happened simultaneously. The first was that the cost of desktop publishing dropped dramatically. Million-dollar retouching systems were replaced with $15,000 Macintosh workstations. Coupled with this was the introduction of Adobe Photoshop. That event single-handedly changed the way commercial art is created.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Quarterback Michael Vick, who was slated to earn $16 million next season, has agreed to a restructured deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Vick, who was injured and inconsistent last season, eventually giving way to rookie Nick Foles, now has a three-year contract, and will compete with Foles over the next nine months to see who runs new coach Chip Kelly's offense this season.
Vick, who returned to start the season finale vs. the New York Giants in December because Foles was injured, finished the season with 2,362 yards passing, 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The Eagles finished 4-12 and in last place in the NFC East.
Andy Reid was fired as coach the day after the season ended, and Kelly was hired last month. Vick, who will be 33 when next season begins, is still elusive when healthy, and seems equipped to run Kelly's aggressive, up-tempo offense that he is bringing to the Eagles from Oregon.
"He wanted to be here," Kelly said Monday in his first meeting with the media following his opening press conference on Jan. 17. "I had never met him before. The one thing that attracted me to him, is Michael is a competitor. Nick is, too. You want guys who want to compete."
Vick was signed by Philadelphia in 2009, and became the starter in 2010. He led the Eagles that season to an NFC East title, and a memorable 38-31 December win over the Giants in which he rallied the team from a 21-point deficit.
There are questions, of course, about his durability and his age, as he now seems far removed from that resurgent 2010 season. He finished that year with 3,018 yards passing, 676 yards rushing and 30 total touchdowns.
"He's younger than (Dallas quarterback) Tony Romo, and he's right about the same age as (Giants quarterback) Eli Manning," Kelly said. "The only reason I say that is because I told Michael that this morning, and he didn't know."
Vick only played in 10 games last season, and in the finale vs. New York, he had a quarterback rating of just 68.4 en route to a 42-7 loss.
"I looked at the films, and studied the tape. When you look at Michael, it's his toughness. That cannot be overrated at all," Kelly said. "We looked at his skillset. He still has that skillset. He can still throw the football.
"He's got an unbelievable release, and it's our job as coaches to make sure he can get the ball out quickly."
All told, Vick has started 35 games for Philadelphia over the last three seasons. Foles has started six. The Eagles scored just 280 points last season as they endured an eight- and a three-game losing streak. Only Arizona (250) scored fewer in the NFC.
When asked which quarterback would work with the first-team offense in training camp, Kelly smiled and quickly showed he's going to be able to handle the Philadelphia media just fine.
"We'll go alphabetical," he said with a grin. "First name? Last name? We'll flip a coin."

Perhaps I'm just blind
I've been driving on Hwy 86 and have noticed that before the cranberry bogs there is a dirt road with a sign that says "Desert Storm" or something along those lines. Can anyone give me some info on what that is, or who constructed it? The print on the sign is too small for my rapidly weakening eyes and there's always a car behind me so I can't slow down to read it. Just curious. It might have been in the Leader at some point, but I may have accidentally skimmed over it. Always interested in the haps of my hometown, whenever I make it home. Thanks!

Re: Perhaps I'm just blind
It is my understanding, and someone can correct or embelish as they see fit, that one of our Tomahawk veterans is creating a memorial whereby he places a rock for every service member killed in the line of duty in Iraq since operation Desert Shield.
I forget who the gentleman is, I have seen him out there working on it, but I have never stopped to ask.

Re: Perhaps I'm just blind
His name is Carl Pfeifer. That lot on the corner before the cranberry farm is on the corner of Pfeifer Road and 86. Pfeifer Road is named after him. He grew up in the house on the right going down the road. He doesn't live there anymore but plays in his lot on the corner alot. People always said that he was some sort of nut. Probably because he's the guy that runs around town in the pickup truck with all the religious signs on it. I mowed his lot with a brush hog this summer and found him to be quite normal in his personality.
Re: Perhaps I'm just blind
Thanks for letting me know! I saw him working on it once but didn't stop as well. Enjoy the warm weather we are having while it lasts!

Record Store Day celebrates indie disc retailers
When Daphne Lee Martin arrived at her Telegraph Record Store in New London around 9:30 a.m. Saturday, there were already close to 50 people — and their ears — waiting in line.
Such is the excitement generated by the annual National Record Store Day — a relatively recent holiday on the calendar but one celebrated with fervor by what might accurately be called Serious Music Heads. Among the most anticipated releases were albums, singles and boxed sets by LCD Soundsystem, R.E.M., Nirvana, David Bowie, Devo, Jerry Garcia, the Flaming Lips, Mazzy Star, the Doors, the Velvet Underground, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, and dozens more.
The fact that Record Store Day took place the day before Easter was not lost on Niantic's Sommer Brooks, who was stalking the various Telegraph display bins of vinyl albums and merchandise, all of which were special artist or label releases available only for the event.
"This is bigger than Jesus coming tomorrow," Brooks said happily, clutching a shopping bag with records by Built to Spill, the Pogues with Joe Strummer, and Gram Parsons. "This is an essential shopping day, plus it's important to help support local businesses that do good stuff in the community."
"A decent chunk of our Record Day stuff was gone within the first hour," said Rich Martin, who co-owns the Telegraph with wife Daphne. "We set up two large tables with just merchandise specifically for today. It's like a feeding trough. It can be a little frustrating because you don't know, until you get your shipments, how much of what you ordered will actually arrive. Sometimes you're anticipating a lot of the Gram Parsons — and maybe you only get one or two. Still, this is a great day and a lot of fun."
Indeed, throughout the afternoon and into the evening, the aisles of the Telegraph were clustered with folks eagerly flipping through not just the special material but the regular stock of rock, jazz, country, blues and other styles. The festive spirit was bolstered by ongoing live performances by acts such as CBYD, Daphne Lee Martin, Ketch Tha Cataclysm, Sam Peduta of Elison Jackson and Pocket Vinyl.
Daniel Boroughs of New London, who brought his toddler son, Harvey, along with him to the Telegraph, was actively seeking out and hoping to revisit music that had been "coming of age" soundtracks from his youth. At the same time, he said, "It's a good idea for Harvey to have early exposure not just to music but to this sort of atmosphere. This is a family-friendly place, and you can't always say that about record stores."
In Niantic, at Tumbleweeds, there was a sign out front announcing Record Store Day and a display rack just inside the door with a varied selection of products.
"We have a nice cross section of regular customers," said clerk Christa Weil, "and our staff tries to pick the Record Store releases that will appeal. We offer a lot of classic rock, blues and jazz."
Dave Brush of Salem walked in and headed straight to the Record Store Day merchandise. "I come in here regularly; I'm a classic rock guy and they have a lot of stuff I like." He picked up 7-inch single releases by Link Wray and Devo. "These are the sort of things I wouldn't buy online. But you come into a great store like this and there's an art to the browse. It's fun to come across this stuff because you're not sure what you're going to find. That's one reason Record Store Day is something to look forward to."
Tumbleweeds owner Tara Wyatt, wearing a "Buy Vinyl" T-shirt, said she loves the idea of Record Store Day, and the store does well with it, but she's had to change her strategies in recent years. "We have to be careful in what we order," she said. "I can't afford to dump ten grand on Record Store Day releases and just hope we sell it all. You can never predict what's going to happen with music. For example, people thought cassettes were dead. But they're coming back. Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings are releasing cassettes. If you have a small store, you have to be careful and smart."
Over at Mystic Disc — the area's iconic and seminal vinyl record store now in its 25th year — owner Dan Curland was talking with a shop full of longtime regulars. The mood was, frankly, ambivalent. On the one hand, customers were definitely picking up Record Store Day gems. At the same time, there was considerable grumbling about what Curland described as inequities in the distribution system for Record Store Day.
"Originally, Record Store Day was a good idea — a sort of us-against-them statement by indie stores against corporate chains like Target. But that's changed. I can no longer service my customers," Curland said.
He said that small chains of independent stores — like Newbury Comics, Bull Moose and the Sound Garden — get preferential treatment. "For example," Curland said, "R.E.M. released 1,000 copies of 'Unplugged: The Complete 1991 and 2001 Sessions,' and there are 250 participating stores in Record Store Day. Theoretically, each store should be able to get four copies of the REM release if they want four."
Curland said he asked for four — and got one.
"If you go to eBay, there are already copies of the R.E.M. going for $300 — well over what we would charge," Curland said. "Someone's going to the chains, who have multiple copies, buying them and flipping them. They're not fans. Meanwhile, I have longtime regulars who are huge R.E.M. fans — and I can't get them a copy."
Still, the mood in Mystic Disc was familial, even if they all agreed Record Store Day could be better run.
"We're still happy to be here because we're all fans and some great music was made available today," Curland said. "But I want Mystic Disc to be able to provide that music and survive — just like I want the Telegraph to survive and I want Tumbleweeds to survive. We're running businesses, but we all love the music."

Our latest mock draft assigns a tackle to the Bengals with the 21st overall pick in the draft. This assumes the Bengals won't re-sign right tackle Andre Smith.
And there's an increasing chance the Bengals won't.
As one league source explains it, the Bengals are now inclined to see if they can find a cheaper and younger replacement for Smith via the draft. If the Bengals can, they'll possibly pull the plug on efforts to re-sign Smith, a first-round pick in 2009.
That would be a problem for Smith, who currently has no other seriously interested suitors. The holdup is that Smith still wants too much money, and teams are concerned that with long-term security he'd revert to the underperforming form that characterized his first few years in the league.
Maybe he can get more teams to pay attention to him if he holds a Pro Day-style workout. And if he keeps his shirt on while running the 40-yard dash.

With corporations (and dilettante millionaires) taking over cattleraising, the family-owned ranch may soon ride into the sunset

While most people his age are kicking back on retirement, Alvin Parrish, 70, still gets up for work just as the sun peeks over the horizon in Archer City, Texas. He climbs into his pearly white Chevy pickup and pulls away from the ivy-covered ranch house built by his father in 1925. He turns off Parrish Ranch Road, clouds of rust-colored dust billowing in his wake, as he rumbles across back roads to check on his herds of cattle – at least what remains.

Parrish is part of a disappearing breed of Texas ranchers, those bullheaded few who refuse to give in to the bevy of obstacles that have driven away countless other family ranchers. Many say they're last real ones of their kind, and that's serious nomenclature in a state that never grows weary of waxing nostalgic about the good ole' days. In an industry increasingly overrun by part-timers – a CPA who likes to work cows on the weekend or oil barons who invest in vast land holdings, for example – Parrish has become an endangered species. He's an independent owner whose sole income comes from the herd he tends full time. About half of the state's cattle still come from ranches like Parrish's, but 10 years ago the number of absentee owners exceeded those who lived on the operation, according to Travis Miller, a livestock specialist at the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension.

Ranchers like Parrish say those numbers are turning more lopsided in a hurry. Due to the increasing economic burden caused by inflated prices for land, feed and water, not to mention extended bouts of extreme weather, small operations are unable to turn a profit. As a result, younger generations are less willing to take the reins, and family ranches are being sold off.

Parrish's family traveled on wagon from Illinois and settled in Archer City in 1897. In the best of times, 25 ranch hands set up camp around their home and ran 1,500 head of cattle. "My dad never worked away from this land a day in his life," says Parrish, who is down to less than 200 animals today.

Recent health problems have plagued him so that he's required help from his grandson, but when it comes time to retire he's unsure if his family will continue the work. "I don't know if I'm really proud of that," he says.
Scraggly work gloves are strewn across the dusty dash of his pickup, a lariat in the side door, surplus Stetsons tossed in the back. Parrish is plump, sports sagging Wranglers and a permanent tan line where his hat rests atop his bald head. He cuts across a field, zigzagging in and out of ubiquitous mesquite trees, and dozens of cows converge around his truck, moaning and grumbling as they lumber along. He triggers the automatic feeder rigged on the truck bed and alfalfa cubes drop to the desiccated landscape. "They usually talk me into giving 'em too much food when I do pull in here," he says of the cattle.
Ranchers typically feed cubes during the leanest of winter months, but for the past few years Parrish has been forced to pull the trigger much more frequently. "What grass we do have is dry as a bone," he says.
It's one of many costs that have put him in the red. Last year he spent $44,000 digging new tanks in hopes of harnessing what little rain may fall, but they're already depleted. Daily costs add up quickly, and there's the never-ending battle with mesquite, whose colossal taproots sap the soil's moisture and starve the grasses needed to maintain healthy cattle. "You're derned if you do, derned if you don't," Parrish says. "It's gonna take major dollars to control these things, I guess as long as the country lasts. Everything you do is another expense and less income. That's not the most pleasant thing to wake up to everyday."
The McMurtry ranch is a few miles from here, the boyhood home of author Larry McMurtry and inspiration for his Pulitzer Prize-winner, Lonesome Dove. McMurtry grumbled that his novel was used to further mythologize life on the parched hinterlands of cowboy country. He knew from experience that the John Wayne fairy tale is exactly that, and he meant to serve up a dose of reality about the hardscrabble existence of life on the prairie.
Parrish knows the lesson well. He ticks off a list of the great 20th century Texas droughts with ease. "There was 1911 to 1912, 1917 to 1918, the 30s. It got really bad in the 1950s…"
After the recent record-breaking drought, in which Texas suffered $3.23 billion in cattle losses, Parrish was one of the few lucky enough to retain part of his herd. "In the 2011 drought we lost between 600 to 700 thousand mama cows out of a population of 5 million, so we lost a big chunk of our herd right there," says Miller of the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension. "We went into 2011, before the drought started, with very low cattle numbers. We came out with much lower cattle numbers and we didn't restock."
Many ranchers wary of re-buying haven't been encouraged by recent weather. After a promising spring, much of the state is once again experiencing severe drought. "You drive through parts of South Texas and West Texas and you just don't see cows like you once did," Miller says.
Of course, lamenting the demise of ranching has been a hobby of sentimental Texans since cattle drives ceased in the mid-1880s and barbed wire sealed off the open range. Cattle won't vanish from the Texas plains anytime soon, but seasoned ranchers like Parrish say the herds that remain will inevitably change hands. Large landowners will buy up more land and ranches will become increasingly centralized, much like cotton or corn. "The writing is on the wall," Parrish says. "We just haven't read it yet."
Drought and debt aren't the only reasons that family ranches are collapsing, according to legendary Archer City horse trader Jackie Lane. Headstrong old-timers are still willing to endure it all because they're "landed" – born to the land and bound to it for life. Youngsters never experienced the same attachment.
Lane stands outside the home of her old friend and retired rancher, Dorothy Davis, who still holds the deed to her family's land, though it has long been devoid of cattle. Davis studies the night sky, as if searching for answers. "I was lookin' up the other night and I was cursin' God," she proclaims. "I said, 'God, I know I've said some bad things about you.'"
"Well, you didn't mean that," Lane reassures her.
"Well yes I did," Davis says. "He's a piss-poor irrigator. I mean it, a piss-poor irrigator. But he made a beautiful night sky. It's brilliant."

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – With a 3-5 Ivy League record entering the weekend, the Yale baseball team can take a huge step forward in the race for the league championship with a quartet of games against the defending Ancient Eight champion, Dartmouth. The Bulldogs (16-13-1 overall) and Big Green (13-12, 4-4 Ivy) will play a pair of doubleheaders beginning at noon from Hanover, N.H. on both Sunday and Monday to open Rolfe Division play. Live stats are available courtesy of the home team for all four contests.
Depending on the outcome of the Brown-Harvard series- the other half of the Ivy League's Red Rolfe Division- Yale could find itself tied for first place with a series sweep. Brown currently leads the division with a 6-2 mark, while the Crimson sit two games back at 4-4.
Last weekend, the Bulldogs rebounded from an 0-4 Ancient Eight start to sweep the 2009 Gehrig Division champion Cornell and split a twinbill with Princeton. Most recently, Yale split a doubleheader with intra-state rival Fairfield, dropping the first of the two seven-inning games by a 4-3 count before winning the nightcap by a score of 7-3.
Offensively, the Elis are batting .310, led by a .405 mark by junior second baseman and leadoff hitter Gant Elmore. Senior first baseman Trygg Larsson-Danforth continues his power-hitting tear, batting .385 with eight home runs, 11 doubles and 34 runs batted in. Additionally, sophomore outfielder Charlie Neil has led the way in Ivy League contests with a .381 batting average and five RBI in eight Ancient Eight games. Yale rounds out its offensive prowess with a 39-for-57 mark on stolen base attempts and a .963 fielding percentage.
On the mound, the Yale staff has been the Ivy League's best with a 5.45 ERA. Sophomore right-hander Pat Ludwig, the lone righty in the Bulldogs' weekend rotation, leads the team with 35 strikeouts, 38.1 innings pitched and a 3.52 ERA. Out of the bullpen, senior right-hander Robert Gruber is the reigning Ivy League Pitcher of the Week as well as the co-recipient of the CollegeBaseballInsider.com Northeast Region Pitcher of the Week. Gruber went 3-0, did not allow an earned run and stranded all four baserunners he inherited this past week.
The Dartmouth Big Green, the 2009 Ivy League Champion, is batting .301 as a team, led by a .367 average from Jeff Onstott. Onstott is one of six Dartmouth regulars batting .313 or better and also leads the way with 26 RBI in 25 games. Big Green is just 13-for-25 on stolen base attempts and is averaging one error per game for a .971 fielding percentage.
On the mound, Yale can expect to see Big Green hurlers Robert Young (1-3, 4.91 ERA), Ben Murray (2-3, 9.85 ERA), Kyle Hendricks (1-4, 5.90 ERA) and Kyle Hunter (1-0, 3.30 ERA). It's likely that the Bulldogs will also see reliever Cole Sulser, who is 5-0 with a 3.66 earned run average in 32.0 innings of work. As a staff, Dartmouth owns a 5.83 ERA with a .319 batting average against them.
Big Green took three of four games at Yale Field last season- the first time Dartmouth won the four-game series since 2004. The all-time series began on May 21, 1881, with Big Green taking a 6-3 win in Springfield, Mass. The first contest in Hanover, N.H. came more than 50 years later, as the Elis dropped an 8-4 decision on May 19, 1930.
The Bulldogs will play a pair of nine-inning road games this coming week, playing at Northeastern on Tuesday and traveling to nearby Quinnipiac on Wednesday. Ivy League play resumes next weekend with a four-game series at Yale Field against historic rival Harvard.

As Verizon continues to roll out its 4G LTE network across the country at an accelerated rate and AT&T also picks up speed in its 4G deployment, it would seem that widespread 4G adoption is a foregone conclusion. Unfortunately, it looks like consumers may be so confused over 4G that they have become hesitant to move to 4G, at least in the near term. In a recent Retrevo Gadgetology study, less than a quarter of the respondents say they're going for 4G. With so many potential 4G customers expressing concerns about cost and performance, providers of 4G phones and services could be in for some disappointment.

WEBSTER, N.Y. — An ex-con set a car and a house ablaze in his lakeside neighborhood to lure firefighters, then opened fire on them, killing two, engaging in a shootout with police and committing suicide while several houses burned. Authorities used an armored vehicle to evacuate the area.
WEBSTER, N.Y. — An ex-con set a car and a house ablaze in his lakeside neighborhood to lure firefighters, then opened fire on them, killing two, engaging in a shootout with police and committing suicide while several houses burned. Authorities used an armored vehicle to evacuate the area.
The gunman fired at the four firefighters when they arrived shortly after 5:30 a.m. at the blaze in Webster, a suburb of Rochester on Lake Ontario, town Police Chief Gerald Pickering said. The first police officer who arrived chased the suspect and exchanged gunfire, authorities said.
"It does appear it was a trap" for the first responders to the fire, Pickering said at a midday news conference. His motive wasn't clear.
The gunman, William Spengler, had served more than 17 years in prison for beating his 92-year-old grandmother to death in 1980 at the house next to where Monday's attack happened, Pickering said at a briefing later in the afternoon. Spengler, 62, was paroled in 1998 and had led a quiet life since, authorities said. Convicted felons are not allowed to possess weapons.
Police say lay in wait for the firefighters' arrival, then opened fire from outdoors, probably with a rifle and from atop an earthen berm.
Two firefighters, one of whom was also a town police lieutenant, died at the scene, and two others were hospitalized. A fifth man who was passing by was also injured. The police officer who exchanged gunfire with Spengler and "in all likelihood saved many lives," Pickering said.
Seven houses were destroyed in the blaze, Pickering said, and police have not been able to get inside the houses to determine if there are any more victims. They said Spengler's 67-year-old sister Cheryl Spengler was unaccounted for. He lived in the house with his sister and mother, Arline, who died in October.
The West Webster Fire District learned of the fire early Monday after a report of a car and house on fire on Lake Road, on a narrow peninsula where Irondequoit Bay meets Lake Ontario, Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn said.
The fire appeared from a distance as a pulsating ball of flame glowing against the early morning sky, flames licking into treetops and reflecting on the water, with huge bursts of smoke billowing away in a brisk wind.
Two of the firefighters arrived on a fire engine and two in their own vehicles, Pickering said. After Spengler fired, one of the wounded men managed to flee, but the other three couldn't because of flying gunfire.
A police armored vehicle was used to recover two of the men, and eventually it evacuated 33 people from nearby homes, the police chief said. The gunfire initially kept firefighters from battling the blazes.
"These people get up in the middle of the night to go put out fires; they don't expect to be shot and killed," Pickering said.
The dead men were identified as Police Lt. Michael Chiapperini, 43, the Webster Police Department's public information officer; and Tomasz Kaczowka, also a 911 dispatcher, whose age was not released.
Pickering described Chiapperini as a "lifetime firefighter" with nearly 20 years with the department, and called Kaczowka a "tremendous young man."
The two wounded firefighters, Joseph Hofsetter and Theodore Scardino, were in guarded condition in the intensive care unit at Strong Memorial Hospital, authorities said. Both were awake and alert and are expected to recover.
Hofsetter, also a full-timer with the Rochester Fire Department, was hit once in the pelvis, and the bullet lodged in his spine, authorities said. Scardino was hit in the chest and knee.
Monday's shooting and fires were in a neighborhood of seasonal and year-round homes set close together across the road from the lakeshore. The area is popular with recreational boaters but is normally quiet this time of year.
"We have very few calls for service in that location," Pickering said. "Webster is a tremendous community. We are a safe community, and to have a tragedy befall us like this is just horrendous."
O'Flynn lamented the violence, which comes on the heels of other shootings including the massacre of 20 students and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"It's sad to see that that this is becoming more commonplace in communities across the nation," O'Flynn said.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the State Police and Office of Emergency Management were working with local authorities.
"Volunteer firefighters and police officers were injured and two were taken from us as they once again answered the call of duty," Cuomo said in a statement. "We as the community of New York mourn their loss as now two more families must spend the holidays without their loved ones."
Webster, a middle-class suburb, now is the scene of violence linked to house fires for two Decembers in a row.
Last Dec. 7, authorities say, a 15-year-old boy doused his home with gasoline and set it ablaze, killing his father and two brothers, 16 and 12. His mother and 13-year-old sister escaped with injuries. He is being prosecuted as an adult.
Associated Press writers Chris Carola, George Walsh and Mary Esch in Albany, N.Y., contributed to this report.

Isla Coronados. Our favorite anchorage in the Sea. More photos in the gallery.
I think we all agree on one thing. We feel extremely blessed to have been able to spend our last month in the Sea of Cortez. The pace here in Baja seems dramatically different than that of the mainland as well as an obvious drop in population of humans, however, there is no shortage of sea life and tranquil anchorages. What a perfect place to be as our minds and bodies gear up for our return home.

We enjoyed Loreto Fest this year. The kids lovingly call it "Geezerfest". Won this beautiful quilt at the silent auction. Proceeds benefiting locals schools.
Gotta love cruiser potlucks! This one with Seycelles, Kanga, Bella Brisa. Capt. Rick made a yummy clam dip with these beauties.

Folks ask us if we feel sad or anxious about our cruising life coming to an end. My reply is that some of us are definitely more ready than others, but I can't say I feel sadness. We set out knowing we had 2 years to travel on our sailboat; living, learning, experiencing a completely different way of life and culture, exposing our kids to a different "normal", and we did it. We have definite differences of opinions on likes and dislikes, different appreciations of our culture vs. Mexico, but I can't help feeling we will all be taking with us something valuable from this experience, even though it may not be realized until later in life. I have loved living in Mexico on a sailboat with my family and I leave feeling content and ready to jump back into life at home. However, if you ask me again next February, I might be feeling a pretty strong tug from southern latitudes! It may inspire Rick and I to put another date on the calendar and start planning our next sailing adventure....
Hasta luego!

After a frustrating delay with Total Yacht Works on the morning of April 23rd, Endeavor finally splashed at 1045am. Ron, James, and Captain Rick took her to the fuel dock and returned to the Fonatur dock and washed her up. After being in the boat yard for 2 weeks, she was filthy. In the meantime, Sydney and I unloaded the freezer, fridge, and the rest of our belongings from the condo into Larry & Danice's minivan, which they were kind enough to volunteer, and unloaded it all back onto Endeavor. It was somewhat of a race with the clock there at the end. Low tide was at 2pm and it was looking like we wouldn't be crossing the bar until 1pm. When we finally pulled away from the dock and were close to the entrance, Capt. Rick put the hammer down to get through the shallow breaking waves. I am grateful there was nothing to hit but sand when Endeavor's keel slammed into the ground before the next wave brought her out. There goes the new paint from the very bottom of the keel. It was pretty quiet for the next several minutes and then everyone exhaled. All was well.
Capt. Rick and brother Ron Taking it easy on day watch....
As far as crossings go, this was pretty sweet. The first day we were able to sail for several hours without the motor. After that, it was a motor boat ride with a light southerly breeze all the way. The kids, being unable to pull the "I feel queasy" card, did not miss any school work. Having calm seas, a full moon, and an extra person made night watches so enjoyable and left us feeling well rested during the day.
Sydney at recess....
Day two ended up being a sports fisherman's dream. At about 10am, Ron hooked and brought in a 25-30 lb. Dorado! Ok, my freezer is officially overflowing with my favorite fish. No more! After that James wrestled with what we believe was a Marlin. It took his line and almost emptied the reel, jumping and twisting out of the water. Luckily for all involved, it finally broke free. Shortly after that, we had another Dorado on the line. This time James brought her all the way in and Dad successfully released her. The last catch of the day was a nice Yellow Tail Tuna. It was tempting to keep but I was the bad guy and talked the boys into letting it go.
Fresh grilled Mahi Mahi for dinner was muy bueno!
Our calm seas came to an abrupt stop. About 2 hours from our destination, the wind piped up to 22 knots at our nose with rolly beam seas and 3-4 ft. waves. Capt. Rick was on watch and I got up after being bounced around the aft cabin to find Ron buried in a mountain of books that had fallen from the shelf above the settee where he was sleeping. Pretty comical sight! We finally pulled into Isla San Francisco right at dawn and dropped the hook. We have arrived!

Mazatlan 4/05/13 - 4/23/13

Our purpose this year for going to and spending time in Mazatlan was mainly to haul Endeavor out & put her on the hard at Total Yacht Works for a new bottom, but also to enjoy spring break and spend a few final days with Terry & Diane before saying farewell. Their newborn grandson in Colorado was anxiously waiting to meet them.
Saying goodbye to our cruising buddies, Terry and Diane. sniff sniff
Farewell dinner at the Seafarer was delish!
Crossing the bar into Mazatlan wasn't quite as exciting as last year even though the harbor master closed it for all boats going in or out of the harbor. Well....it didn't seem too bad to us and the tide was high so Captain Rick gunned her in between sets of rollers and we flew through without incident, landing safely at the El Cid Marina. Let spring break begin! It felt decadent to be a "tourist" at a resort, but even Sydney agreed this was legal and deserving since we were legitimately on spring break. While spending 4 nights here, we took advantage of the pool, amazing internet (streaming Downton Abbey!), and did some exploring around town. Sydney and I stole Diane for a day and took her down to Old Town. We spent several hours wandering the streets admiring the old architecture, perusing the art galleries and the historical Basilica, and had lunch at our favorite restaurant, Molika. We strolled through Plaza Machado and passed the Angela Peralta Teatro where Syd was thrilled to see that the Mazatlan Ballet Company was on the schedule to perform Don Quixote again this year on April 12 & 13. Perfect timing!
Harmony & Endeavor were hauled out the morning of April 9. Harmony will be on the hard until their return in June, and workers began scraping many layers of paint off the bottom of Endeavor. Finding blisters between the gel coat and the fiberglass after a few days of work, Captain Rick decided they better take it all off, down to the fiberglass hull, to apply 5 coats of epoxy. This delayed our departure by a few days, making Endeavor stay out a total of 13days. In the meantime, the Phillips family was forced to endure living in a beautiful 2 bedroom condo at the Costa Bonita (which was half the cost of a hotel room at the El Cid) that friends Larry & Danice Rauh were kind enough to hook us up with. They own the unit next door to ours so when they are not on their sailboat Ladera Star or at their home in Pleasant Hill Oregon, you'll find them here along with their sweet pup dong, Gunther.
Thank you Larry & Danice for ALL of your help, driving me to Mega twice for provisioning, and being such fun neighbors! We loved spending time with you!
The last few days were kept busy with readying ourselves and Endeavor to leave. Having the extra-large galley in the condo and no concern with overheating our living space, I spent a few days cooking meals ahead to freeze for our passage into the Sea of Cortez.
Some more highlights of our stay in Mazatlan include an evening at the ballet with Sydney and Danice; an off shore fishing charter where we caught a Dorado and a Marlin; condo living in all its glory; the arrival of Rick's brother Ron who came down for another excursion on Endeavor; and spending time with great people. I think the kids were most excited about having a toaster, microwave, dishwasher, and unlimited showers. Having a washer and dryer was pretty indulgent too. Simple pleasures!

Our primary TPath is in restoration of vision. The efforts, which focused initially on genetic mouse models of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) have expanded to genetic models of RP in dogs and to irradiation-induced models in primate.
1) Mouse model. We have made significant progress with both the 2 component (photoswitch + targeted gene) and 1 component (photoswitch only) approaches to reanimating the blind retina following photoreceptor degeneration showing that light-activated glutamate receptors in surviving retinal ganglion cells or photoswitches for native K+ channels in surviving amacrine and retinal ganglion cells of mutant mouse models of RP can restore retinal, cortical, and behavioral responses to light.
2) Canine model. We added genetically blind canine RP models to the effort as large animal models that more closely represent human vision. Two aspects have been developed: viral gene delivery to RGCs and behavioral assessment in dog models of retinal degeneration. Two genetic models have been shown to be promising in behavioral assays.
3) Primate model. As an even better model of the human visual system, we have developed a macaque model of visual loss: 647 nm laser induced outer retinal degeneration that kills off photoreceptors and spares retinal ganglion cells. We developed AAVs that deliver genes to these RGCs via intravitreal injection—just as used in mouse. And we developed optical recording using genetically encoded sensors in awake-behaving animals as a complement to psychophysical assessment of vision.
Our second, minor Tpath is in pain, where we have made substantial progress in generating the first light-controlled Na+ channel blocker that is selectively picked up by pain-sensing neurons that are active.
Progress in the past year
Progress in the past year included 21 publications (including 1 each in Nature, Nature Cell Biology, Nature Chemistry, Nature Neuroscience and Nature Methods, as well as 2 in Neuron, 1 in Current Biology, 1 in Molecular Therapy and 1 in Cell Reports). In addition, there were several submitted papers, 1 patent application submitted and one patent awarded and several studies that are near completion. Several of these papers represent new collaborations within the NDC and several others represent new collaborations with outside labs that are beginning to use our technologies. Important among these for our translational path were:
a) The demonstration that both the 1 and 2 component systems can restore a simple visually guided behavior in a mouse model of RP;
b) The first light-gated GPCRs, which hold the promise of enhanced sensitivity to light due to natural amplification. c) The first light controlled analgesic.
d) The first evidence that optogenetic activation of a sub-class of inhibitory interneurons in the visual cortex can be used to sharpen feature selectivity and visual perception.
e) Several technical steps forward that make our chemical-opto-genetic approach to restoration of vision and treatment of pain more realistic.
Dissemination of information about our program was amplified through an additional 10 related papers as well as 29 presentations in major venues, including a symposium co-organized by co-PI John Flannery (along with Richard Masland) on "Optogenetic Therapies for Vision." This meeting was sponsored by the Foundation Fighting Blindness at the Starr Conference Center of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, May 31 - June 1, 2012.

What's New in Windows Deployment
Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2
What are the major changes?
New versions of Windows Deployment Services, the Windows® Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK), and the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) are available to assist in the deployment of Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2008 R2. Each of these tools includes new features that improve the process of deploying Windows.
The following list describes the different Windows deployment technologies and the major changes for deployment in this release:
Microsoft Deployment Toolkit
The Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) is a solution accelerator that collects many Microsoft deployment technologies together into a single means of automating installations. Using MDT, you can automate Windows operating-system installations by using Zero Touch Installation (ZTI) or Lite Touch Installation (LTI) processes. The deployment of Windows can be completely automated by using the ZTI method, or require a minimum of interaction at the targeted computer by using the LTI method. ZTI uses Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 or Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 with the Operating System Deployment Feature Pack.
For more information about MDT, see Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=160877).
Windows Deployment Services
Windows Deployment Services is a server role that was included with Windows Server® 2008; it has been updated for Windows Server 2008 R2. This version contains new multicast features and driver-provisioning functionality. With driver provisioning, you can deploy driver packages (along with a Windows image) to client computers based on the hardware of the client, and add driver packages to boot images.
This version also enables you to deploy virtual hard disk (VHD) images by using an unattended installation. For complete list of the differences in each version of Windows Deployment Services, see Windows Deployment Services: What's New (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=140114). For more information about the changes in Windows Server 2008 R2, see Windows Deployment Services (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=141973).
Windows Automated Installation Kit
The Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK) is a collection of tools and documentation that enable you to customize your own Windows deployment environment. This collection of tools includes all of the Windows Setup configuration options, imaging tools, Windows Preinstallation Environment customizations, and processes and guidance. The Windows AIK is ideal for highly customized deployment environments and provides extensive control and flexibility.
Who will be interested in this feature?
The following groups might be interested in these changes:
IT generalists
IT specialists
Anyone responsible for deploying Windows 7 operating systems
What new functionality does the Windows Automated Installation Kit provide?
The following sections describe the major changes in the Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK). For additional information about the Windows AIK, see Windows Automated Installation Kit for Windows 7 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=141410).
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a command-line tool used to service Windows images. You can use it to install, uninstall, configure, and update Windows features, packages, drivers and international settings. DISM commands can also be used for servicing a running operating system. You can use DISM to:
Add or remove 32-bit and 64-bit device drivers.
Add or remove language packs.
Enable or disable Windows features.
Add and configure updates.
Why is this change important?
DISM replaces many of the tools in previous releases of the Windows AIK, including Package Manager (Pkgmgr.exe), the International Settings Configuration Tool (Intlcfg.exe), and the Windows PE command-line tool (PEimg.exe). DISM provides the same functionality that Package Manager provided and includes additional functionality when used with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
DISM is installed with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. It can be used to service Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Vista® with Service Pack 1 (SP1), or Windows Preinstallation Environment images.
How should I prepare for this change?
Because DISM consolidates many tools that were included in previous versions of the Windows AIK, any scripts or other tools that make calls to Package Manager should be updated to make calls to DISM instead.
What existing functionality is changing?
The following tools are deprecated in this release of the Windows AIK. If you have an existing automated environment that uses these tools, you will need to modify the environment to use DISM to deploy Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
Some of these tools are not available with this release of the Windows AIK. If you intend to deploy previous versions of Windows that require these tools, you must use the version of the Windows AIK that included these tools.
Intlcfg.exe. The International Settings Configuration Tool (Intlcfg.exe) is used to change the language and locale, fonts, and input settings of a Windows image. In Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the functionality of this tool is included as part of the DISM tools. This release of the Windows AIK includes the Intlcfg.exe tool to enable the configuration of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 installations only.
PEimg.exe. This command-line tool is used for creating and modifying Windows PE images. The functionality of this tool is included as part of the DISM tools. This tool is not available with this release of the Windows AIK.
Pkgmgr.exe. Package Manager is used to install, remove, or update packages on an offline Windows image. The functionality of this tool is included as part of the DISM tools. Package Manager is included in all Windows installations, and you can continue to use existing scripts that call Package Manager. However, we recommend for all Windows 7 installations that you update your environment to support DISM.
PostReflect.exe. PostReflect.exe is used to reflect all boot-critical device drivers out of the driver store in an offline image. The functionality of this tool is built into the Sysprep tool. This tool is not available with this release of the Windows AIK.
VSP1CLN.exe. The Windows Vista SP1 Files Removal Tool (VSP1CLN.exe) is used to remove the files that are archived after Windows Vista SP1 is applied to a Windows Vista RTM image. This tool is no longer required and is not available with this release of the Windows AIK.
User State Migration Tool 4.0
The Windows User State Migration Tool (USMT) 4.0 is now installed as part of the Windows AIK. You can use USMT 4.0 to streamline and simplify user-profile migration during large deployments of Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems. USMT captures user accounts, user files, operating system settings, and application settings, and then migrates them to a new Windows installation. You can use USMT for both side-by-side and wipe-and-load migrations.
The most significant new feature of USMT 4.0 is the hard-link migration store. The hard-link migration store is for use in computer-refresh scenarios only. The hard-link migration store enables you to perform an in-place migration where all user state is maintained on the computer while the old operating system is removed and the new operating system is installed. This scenario drastically improves migration performance, significantly reduces hard-disk utilization, and reduces deployment costs.
New Windows default disk-partition structure
The default Windows installation now includes support for a separate system partition. In default installations, Windows Setup creates two partitions on a hard disk. You can use one partition for recovery tools, to enable BitLocker™ Drive Encryption, or for other features. You use the second partition to install the operating system.
The system partition, which hosts the boot manager and related files, will no longer have a drive letter by default. You can manually add a drive letter during installation by using the Microsoft-Windows-Setup\DiskConfiguration\Disk\ModifyPartitions\ModifyPartition\Letter setting.
Deploy virtual hard disks with native boot
In Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, a virtual hard disk (VHD) can be used as the running operating system on designated hardware without any other parent operating system, virtual computer, or hypervisor. A hypervisor is a layer of software below the operating system that runs virtual machines. Disk management tools, the DiskPart tool, and the Disk Management Microsoft Management Console (MMC), can be used to create a bootable .vhd file. A generalized image file (.wim) can then be deployed to the VHD, and the .vhd file can be copied to multiple computers. The boot manager can be configured to boot the .wim file from the VHD.
Which editions include this feature?
These features are included in the Windows 7 version of the Windows AIK. DISM is available in all editions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
Native boot support for VHDs is available in these Windows editions:
Windows 7 Enterprise
Windows 7 Ultimate
Windows Server 2008 R2

The quality of art is excellent and the printed item very good. What's not so good was the delivery. Fine Art America failed to include my address which meant that the posted item ended up lost in the post. Luckily my phone number had been printed ? so the local sorting office very gratuitously called me to arrange delivery. Not impressed with the posting.

Engaging the wild things to pose for me was both a challenge and delight. For the creatures who braved my lens and sweet talking, a collection beyond the ordinary and expected is the colorful result.
Since moving from Minnesota, where everything goes dormant for 6 months out of the year, to Texas and then to Mexico Beach , where almost nothing does, change has become a common word in my vocabulary. Straying from my roots geographically, and surviving it, encouraged me to take a chance creatively as well. From the structure and conditions of graphic design and illustration for publishing and print advertising, I embraced the free spirit of fine art. I chose "nature" as a common element for three very distinctive styles of expression. The first, a traditional approach, resulted in cut-paper illustrations of florals and creatures. The second, an electronic approach, yielded hundreds of digital portraits that I call the "PhotoArt...

The city's third kind of bicycle lane has been taking shape for about a month on Overton Park Avenue between Bellevue Boulevard and Cleveland Street.
The city's third kind of bicycle lane is taking shape in Midtown on Overton Park Avenue. The green protected bike lanes flip the position of parked cars and the bike lane.
(Daily News/Andrew J. Breig)
It's the first of 15 miles of "protected" bike lanes that flip the position of parked cars and the bike lane to put the parked cars between the bicyclists and auto traffic. And it is green.
That's not just a statement about the intent. It's the color of the street markings meant to avoid "right hook" encounters when cars and bicycles come to an intersection where the cars turn right on red.
"One of the ways that you sort of mitigate that action is by encouraging the cyclists and cars rather than coming to an intersection side by side – you actually encourage them to come to the intersection queued in the same line," said Kyle Wagenschutz, the city's bicycle pedestrian coordinator.
The green color and street markings are "clear indications" to bicyclists and auto drivers.
The effect of the markings is that the stretch of Overton Park Avenue by where the street dead ends into the walls of the interstate below immediately gets the attention of drivers on bikes and in cars.
And it does take some getting used to. On a recent afternoon, while most of the cars parked in the area were in the right place, two were parked against the curb where the bikes would travel.
But the stretch of road is not as busy as other roads and there is a margin of error in the relatively light traffic.
"It puts all of the users on the higher sense of alert," Wagenschutz added. "We think it's a much safer approach to getting people to ride bicycles through the city. It's a much more intuitive system for all the different road users."
In the last two years, the city has repaved streets to include bicycle lanes going in one direction on each side of some streets with parking lanes next to the curb. And the Broad Avenue arts district has bike lanes on one side of Broad that go east and west.
"We're working hard to make sure ... we're building quality bike lanes."
–Mayor A C Wharton Jr.
The different approaches are likely to remain for the most part, Wagenschutz said.
"We look at every single roadway on a case-by-case basis – even on a block-by-block basis – trying to understand what will best serve both the needs of existing traffic users while also trying to maintain a minimal level of safety and security for cyclists on the roadway," he said. "There isn't going to be a one-treatment-fixes-all kind of scenario. There are still places where traditional bicycle lanes are applicable."
And the protected lanes take up more space that isn't there on some streets. In the case of Overton Park Avenue, the new lanes come with a preservation of most of the on-street parking, although some was eliminated at intersections.
When Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. committed in May to 15 miles of the new protected lanes by 2015, it was a move to get more Memphians interested in using all forms of the bicycle lanes.
"We're working hard to make sure we're not just building quantity, but that we're building quality bike lanes," Wharton said in May.
The protected bicycle lanes are not just new to Memphis, they are new to many U.S. communities with only several dozen in other cities. Wagenschutz said they encourage more bicycling, which has increased in the city's two-year experience with bike lanes in general.
"They've been shown to increase the number of people riding bicycles. People are more likely to try bicycling for the first time in an environment like a protected bike lane versus one of the traditional bike lanes," he said.
The most accurate and standardized data about bicycling in Memphis measures those who commute to work by bike. And Wagenschutz said the number has increased 400 percent in two years. Meanwhile, the number of bicycle accidents has remained stable.
Wagenschutz added the use of all three types of lanes and their configurations are under review as new traffic patterns for cars and bicycles emerge.
"What I can foresee in the future is taking a hard look at the intersections, particularly signalized intersections where some of our traditional bike lanes approach and making some adjustment to how the bicycles and cars interact with one another at the intersections," he said. "I do feel we can do a little bit better job than we originally did."

The Bash Shell
What is a shell?
A shell is a program that acts as an intermediary between the user and the Linux kernel. The shell receives commands from the user through typed words and passes them into the kernel for processing. The kernel has the ability to communicate with hardware and gather resources like files and memory. The most common shell is bash.
History of Shells
The first shell was created by Steven Bourne in 1979 and was a part of UNIX version 7. C shell was developed as an alternative by Bill Joy of the University of California at Berkley. This shell was part of the Berkley Software Foundation Distribution (BSD), which is still popular today. The C shell functions much like C programming so users who have a background in C tend to gravitate in this direction. The Korn shell is based on a combination of the Bourne and C shells. Each of these shells have advantages and are popular in use.
The GNU project created a completely free shell called the Bash shell. It received the name from Bourne Again shell since it was based on the Bourne shell. The bash shell was written originally by Brian Fox in 1988. Bash has become the standard shell for Linux and is the default of most Linux distributions.
You can access the shell from a terminal. Open a terminal and type:
echo $SHELL
This should show you which shell you are using, like so.
The procedure for interacting with bash is:
command arguments
Here is an example of listing the contents of a home directory:
ls /home/mike
The command is ls and that command acts upon the directory
Here is another example:
touch text
In this example the command touch, which creates an empty file, interacts with the system by creating the file text.
In addition to commands and arguments there are also options that are available to commands. Here is an example of the ls command with the -a option which lists all files even the hidden ones.
ls -a /home/mike
Options usually require the – before the option and the option is typically one letter.
Users may use multiple options in the same command. Here is an example using ls and two options -a for all files and -l for long listing of the output.
ls -la /home/mike
You do not need to add a – for each option, one for the entire list of options is OK.
