LA JOLLA, Calif. - The No. 12 UC Santa Barbara men's volleyball team was upset in straight sets by un-ranked UC San Diego Friday at RIMAC Arena with scores coming in at 30-27, 30-22, and 30-24. It was just the second time in 34 all-time meetings that the Tritons had topped the Gauchos.
UCSB fell to 7-9 overall and 5-7 in the MPSF, while UCSD is now 5-12 and 2-10 in the conference. The Tritons' only other in-league victory was a 3-1 downing of reigning national champion UC Irvine back in January.
UCSB is now 32-2 all-time against UC San Diego. The first time the Tritons topped the Gauchos was April 9, 2004 in La Jolla. It was a five-gamer with scores going 33-35, 33-31, 30-22, 28-30, and 15-12 in favor of UCSD.
Tonight's win was the first time in UC San Diego history that the Tritons swept an MPSF opponent.
Strong hitting propelled UCSD to the win as the Tritons hit .420 with 50 kills and 16 errors in 81 attacks. Santa Barbara hit .244 with 39 kills and 19 miscues in 82 swings.
The Gauchos were led by freshman Jeff Menzel with 13 kills, two aces, and 15.5 points. Senior middle Theo Brunner had 14 kills and hit .435, while libero Andy McGuire had a team high four digs.
UCSD, which used just seven players, was paced by Frank Fritsch with a match best 17 kills. Jason Spangler added 12 kills, while Russ Hardy hit .538 with nine kills and two errors in 13 sets.
In the midst of its longest road swing of the season, UCSB plays at No. 2 Long Beach State Mar. 1 at 7 p.m.

I thought we'd try a new feature here, and see how everyone likes it. Sound Off is an open thread where you can rant about most anything that's bothering you, and maybe you can't talk about with other people you know. There are only a few rules: it has to be relevant to oppression (of anyone, not just women), gender dynamics, privilege, that sort of thing. This could include a lot of small incidents in your life, and it could also be about big huge political stuff.
You're allowed to respond to other people's rants, but you're also encouraged to post your own. Your rants can include requests for feedback or advice, if you're dealing with a frustrating situation.

CAIR distributes Quran banned as anti-Semitic
Version offered for free as goodwill response to Newsweek fiasco
In an attempt to quell the rancor resulting from Newsweek's retracted Quran-desecration story, a controversial U.S. Muslim lobby group is giving away free copies of Islam's revered book.
The particular edition, however, "The Meaning of the Holy Quran," previously was banned by the Los Angeles school district because commentary notes accompanying the text were regarded as anti-Semitic.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations has included the edition in the Islamic book-package it offers libraries nationwide and now is giving it away to help "improve America's image" through a program called "Explore the Quran."
"We want to turn a negative image into a positive one," said CAIR's Florida director, Altaf Ali, at a news conference in Cooper City, Fla, announcing the project. "America's image is taking a beating, and it's affecting us all, of different faiths."
WorldNetDaily contacted Ali at his Florida office, but he refused to be interviewed for the story.
CAIR's library project, begun in September 2002, was funded in part by a $500,000 donation from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. In 2001, bin Talal's $10 million donation to New York City was rejected by then-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani after the prince suggested U.S. policies in the Middle East contributed to the Sept. 11 attacks.
The Saudi-funded CAIR is a spin-off of a group described by two former FBI counterterrorism chiefs as a "front group" for the terrorist group Hamas in the U.S. Several CAIR leaders have been convicted on terror-related charges.
A Florida-based group, Americans Against Hate, drew attention to CAIR's distribution project, noting the book's commentary and index makes it clear the Quran's references to "apes" and "pigs" are descriptions of Jews.
Khaleel Mohammed, an assistant professor of religious studies at San Diego State University, says the Saudi-approved edition was first published by Abdullah Yusuf Ali in 1934 at "a time both of growing Arab animosity toward Zionism and in a milieu that condoned anti-Semitism."
Ali, according to the professor, constructed it as a "polemic against Jews."
Until recently, he said, it's been the most popular version among Muslims. Yet, despite revisions over the years, Mohammed added, the footnoted commentary about Jews "remained so egregious" that in April 2002 the Los Angeles school district banned its use at local schools.
Goodwill gesture
According to the Los Angeles Times, about 300 copies of "The Meaning of the Holy Quran" were donated in December 2001 to the Los Angeles Unified School District by a local Muslim foundation as a goodwill gesture in response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Jim Konantz, director of information technology for the district, said the usual review process was skipped for an unknown reason, and he received a complaint from a history teacher.
"It's not an issue of whether the Quran should be available in the library," Konantz told the Times in a February 2002 story. "It's like any other research volume. But these interpretations are certainly in question."
Ali's rendering of Surah (Chapter) 2:65 of the Quran, which reads like most English versions, says: "And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed. In the matter of the Sabbath; we said to them: 'Be ye apes, despised and rejected."
In his corresponding note, Ali says: "There must have been a Jewish tradition about a whole fishing community in a seaside town, which persisted in breaking the Sabbath and were turned into apes."
Under the heading "Jews" in the book's index, is a reference to Surah 5:60, which says: " … Those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom some he transformed into apes and swine … ."
In the index under "Jews" also are these phrases: "cursed," "enmity of," "greedy of life," "slew prophets," "took usury," "unbelief and blasphemy of" and "work iniquity."
Extreme or mainstream?
Scholars point out that Muslims believe the Quran was dictated word-for-word by Allah in the Arabic language, so any rendering in other languages is imperfect and can be seen only as an interpretation.
But author and researcher Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, says that while Ali's notes are particularly anti-Semitic, his rendering of the Quranic text largely is no different than any other version.
"It's an indication that what we think of as extreme in Islam is not really extreme but mainstream," he told WND. "You won't find a translation that doesn't have Jews being turned into apes and pigs."
Some Muslim scholars say the text refers only to particular groups of Jews, such as those breaking the Sabbath, and is not meant to apply to Jews today.
But Spencer says the global, mainstream understanding regards this as a current, universal reference to Jews.
The Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI, includes in its archives many translated writings and texts of sermons by prominent Muslims leaders who make such references.
For example, the highest-ranking cleric in the Sunni Muslim world, Al-Azhar Sheikh Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi, called the Jews "the enemies of Allah, descendants of apes and pigs" in a weekly sermon in April 2002.
In a TV program broadcast on Iqraa, the Saudi-Egyptian satellite channel, a 3-year-old "real Muslim girl" was interviewed about Jews. Asked whether she liked Jews, she answered, "no." Asked why, she replied Jews were "apes and pigs."
"Who said this?" the moderator asked. The girl answered, "Our God." "Where did He say this?" "In the Quran."
At the end of the interview, the obviously pleased moderator said: "No [parents] could wish for Allah to give them a more believing girl than she. … May Allah bless her, her father and mother. The next generation of children must be true Muslims. We must educate them now while they are children, so that they will be true Muslims."
Spencer said many in the United States are unaware that this kind of rhetoric is common in the Muslim world.
"I think that maybe this is a chance for Americans to become aware of just how the text of the Quran itself plays a role in the creation of jihad terror," he said.
It's also a chance, he continued, "for Muslims who claim to be moderate to face that honestly and develop a genuine, non-literal understanding of the text that is convincing to their fellow Muslims and propagate it aggressively."

Then why this book which lays no claim to literary value? The purpose of this book is merely to cheer up for a while my friends from Bukovina give them a little mirror to reflect their happily spent youth to comfortably remind them of stories and funny tales, where their ancestors and they, themselves in joy and sorrow took a part.
The main theme, the little Jewish Vatican in Sadagora, is not a fantasy, but pure facts from that time, which were earnestly noted in my dairy, honestly and simply, without literary window dressing.
To understand the unique potpourri of words used in Sadagora, a table of nicknames and a table of ancestors are included, so that readers with no connection to Sadagora can effortlessly understand the book.
When I was, in celebration of my birthday, made an honorary member of the Sadagora Association I could find no more suitable way to express my thanks for this honor than this book.

About the little Jewish city there on the Pruth. They wanted to part the fog.
The songs echo so wonderfully from the palace of the famous rabbis.
The strong orthodox dynasty of the servants dedicated to God.
The songs tell the wonderful tale that there was no Christian there.
Only Jews and Jews and Jewish culture, which feels on reading, somehow not right
And in that, one recognizes the horse's foot and makes the song a shame.
Proves that the cradle of the singer was never in Sadagora.
Otherwise he would be able to name the ancient names.
Which only Sadagora and otherwise no other city was in a position to recognize.
Not only the men of weapons, not the aristocrats.
But the guilds from Harom-Am to the smallest pirates.
Now listen, brother to the new song I strum the strings.
Yisgadal v yiskadash there was once a Jewish Vatican.

For this reason General Gartenberg built his own mint and had his own money minted and pressed local mercenaries into his army. In this way, he extended his position of power to the Pruth River where he pressed the Turks hard and later drove them out (1768-74 see Brockhaus). The mercenaries as well as the local farmers and the Jewish merchants who had come with him had difficulty pronouncing the name of the general and so the name was translated into Russian. Sad (garden), Gora (mountain) and this name stuck for the general as well as the town. And Sada Gora[3] became with time a pulsating center of life.
The mountain on the other side of the Pruth was covered with majestic beech forests which for a long time provided certain protection for the Turks as well as the resident Black Utzen (Huzulen), But because of the pressure of the Moldauer[4] and the Wallachen on their flanks and the attacking Russians from the Pruth side the Turks had to give up Buchenland (Beech Land = Bukovina) and retreat. Because of the frequent high water and flooding in the Pruth valley, it was necessary to build a fortified city on the flanks of the mountain. An since the Czorne Utzen had withdrawn with the Turks, the bjala Utzen (White Huzeln) from the Pruth Valley resettled on the mountain and named the primitive place Cerna-Utzi. They made a living by raising cattle and timbering and were glad to be rid of the Czarna Utzen along with the Turks.
After the war, the Sultan gave the Crown Land of Bukovina to Empress Maria Theresia of Austria. Then Cernauti was renamed Czernowitz and thus challenged surpassed Sada-Gora and in a short time became the capital of Bukovina.
While Czernowitz became a political center Sadagora remained a small market place and ran the danger of loosing its soul as a city. Then destiny intervened for the threatened city when the Dynasty of the Ruzyner Zaddik Friedmann[5] moved there and rescued it from certain decay. And when Kaiser Franz Josef I acceded to the throne a new happy time started for the monarchy as well as for Bukovina, Sadagora and the Jews.
Through the constitution of March 4, 1849, the Jews were granted full equality with the confessors of the Christian religion. And the federal law of December 21, 1867 granted full political rights both on a state and a local level for the Jews. In the light of these circumstances improvements were made to the Rabbi's palace in Sadagora, several magnificent structures being added. The palace built in half-timbered style with richly flower filled gardens and the elegant carriages gave the court the stamp of a little Vatican. Across from the palace was built the splendid klaus [prayer house] with its refined richly furnished interior which left nothing to wish for.
In this Klaus prayed the Chassidic aristocracy whose clothing and demeanor demonstrated their elevated position in complete contrast to the city Jews who to be sure followed all the religious obligations, but who in costume and behavior were German oriented and therefore seldom dared to attempt to pray in the Klaus.
As small as this place was, wherever Jews lived (Russia, Galicia, Bukovina) it was considered the center of Zaddikismus (see note 5).
While the city Jews mixed their Yiddish with fragments of German which was absolutely necessary for trade, commerce, city and court business, in the Vatican, the Yiddish was spiced with greater amounts of Hebrew and thereby seriously embarrassed the city Jews, who for the most part were not Talmud scholars. And so in this community lived two worlds alongside each other. This circumstance however, didn't detract from the universal respect that the rabbinical dynasty Friedmann enjoyed.
Also the few Christians respected the rabbinical court. And not seldom, Christians who found themselves in a painful situation came to the Zaddik to ask for his wise advice and to follow it.
At celebrations, the Schalasch (a special space for Chassidic festivals) was in demand. A unique structure with a sliding roof mounted on wheels which provided a radical means of providing ventilation in the hall and then could be wheeled back to its normal position. The inner room which seated about 1000 people was built like an amphitheater with the seating rising to the back of the space and the table at which the Tzaddikim and their Chassidim ate filled the entire length of the hall. One could write a book about the seating order, ritual ceremonies, order of precedence, scherajim (leftovers from Rabbi's meal) and the games the Chassidim played.
This little Vatican had a considerable staff of Gabuem[6], Schamusim, servants and several yearly paid Shabbas Gojim and the discipline was strict and bombastic.
Just dropping in on the Rebe [Chassidic rabbi] was unheard of. Rich Chassidim, among them millionaires, who came from far away to speak with the revered Rabbi had to wait sometimes for days, until their turn came.
On Shabbat and the Jewish holidays, all work stopped in Sadagora. To go walking with a walking stick or smoking a cigarette was unthinkable. The bathing of boys and girls together in the stream was a punishable offence and to insult an elderly person was a serious sin.
Even the phonograph, the newest achievement, a playing apparatus with moving parts and tubing through which one could really hear music cannot be used on Shabbat and also not the Gramophone, a more recently invented device (with loudspeakers) and even the newest device of that era, the Patephon without Trumpet could not be played on the Shabbat.
Hospitality, helping each other out, support of the poor, widows and orphans was taken for granted, which also the Christians residents respected completely and fully.
On weekdays, an unearthly stillness reigned over the Vatican, which brought mysterious thoughts to strangers and tourists and which wove an aura of legend around the Vatican.
In contrast, in the city it was busy as a bee hive and the Eulenspiegel [7] tales from Sadagora were widely known.
Although Sadagora counted only 4000 Jewish house numbers, It made itself known in the world like an important big city and jokes about this place and its Jewish satire were sung in the entire world.
The young people who went to Czernowitz to either study at the University or to find work in retail, as hand workers or the military often came home for short vacations and secretly made fun of the strict pious customs and uses of the old ones, which only to often led to unpleasant altercations. The worst tomfoolery was perpetrated by the college and high school students who invented nicknames and pet names for every street and numberless citizen, some of which are still in use today (see Nicknames, page 5).
In contrast to the Vatican and the city, the so-called Barrenifke (a part of Rohonza) should be mentioned. This word, as pronounced by the locals is a less that beautiful expression. The first part of the word, barre means something like: bilking, swindle, lie, lead astray.
In reality, it was called Baronnufka and it was a part of the barony of the dynasty of the Mustata family, an old Romanian bojar [owners of large tracts of land] family. Many poor Jews lived there. The Baronnufka was the longest and most densely populated of all streets and it had side streets where the Ssiggenuren (supposedly blind gypsies/beggars) and the poor lived. That also, a number of well-to-do and the larger part of the owner/drivers of the livery carriages built their beautiful houses there did nothing to alter the fact that this was not the part of the city where the elite lived. About the city center, institutions, the hegdisch and the bud [nursing home and public bath] more will be reported in other places. These lines should suffice to illustrate the contrast between the Vatican and its surroundings.
The most feared melamedim were Nute Stopper, Schimen Schiker, Tamerussi Knaaper and Berale Letz. In contrast Ire Laib and Reb Dewdl were good natured patient Gemara [9] melamedim who with gentle methods inspired their students to learn.
These students with their knowledge and ability could even put themselves up against the students of the Klaus (orthodox synagogue) which often occurred. for these noble melamedim, the tuition was very high and the children of poor parents couldn't have this advantage.
Then Reb Velvel came into the kheyder, looked at the children like a mother, patted one after the other on the head and asked in a friendly way, who was the best student. Conscientiously, the children named the best and Reb Velvel began the third degree.
Whether the student was the best or not, Reb Velvel patted him on the shoulder, told him to become a gutter Jüd (a good Jew) and asked casually do you have a new kapotkale (coat) for Shabbat? The poor youth honestly answered in the negative. Reb Velvel built his genius on this point. Listen young man, I don't like the idea of a good student running around in a torn rekl (Yiddish for coat). Here is a note for Berl Schneider, let him measure you and make a Kapotkale, so the other children will know that you are a good student.
Then the other children were questioned. They all tried very hard to shine and the cleaver one said that they had failings, but he saw great improvement and he hoped that at the next examination still more children would receive a new kapotkale. This procedure very often increased the children's zeal for learning.
The chief teacher Maderer, the teachers Fuhrman, Rosenfeld and the religion teacher Sperber and even the school servant, Arn Kügel were all Jews.
All the students (only Jews) received, at no cost, instruction, attractive uniforms with matching capes and a gleaming military type hat (in winter matching boots), shirts, carrying bag, text books and notebooks. The students who were completely without means could even get meals from the school servant. One could clearly see by every indication that it was a Baron Hirsch School.
This school made the Baronnufka lively and it was also beneficial for the little town. The instruction in the German language attracted the youth and the children of rich parents left the German school and came to it. It was more than a school it was a national home.
The deeply pious, however, who wouldn't touch a unholy [secular] book, were satisfied with the instruction at the kheydar or the klaus. In spite of that, eventually all the schools combined produced 100 doctors.
Opposite the Baron Hirsch School, a few houses further Joil Schmatnik had a dance hall. Here the amateur actors had their theater, the dance school was here, the weddings took place here as well as gatherings.
On Herrengasse could be found the bar (Schnapps Central), the coffeehouse Keffler, City Hall, the Catholic church, the public garden and up above on the meadow, the playground and the cemetery.
The Justice Building, the German School and the apothecary's shop were somewhat removed, just like Raiman's Pond, the children's beach.
The marketplace, to be sure was very important, but was nothing special to look at. Schweingasse [Pig Street, the main street] and the bridge where the coachmen had their taxi stand were really the center of the city.
All the latest news was reported by the pauker who beat his drum in a monotonous rhythm. Thursday evenings the bell ringer from the schwitz (steam bath) ran through the streets ringing his bell and screaming at the top of his lungs, waaber, in Bud arain (women into the bath).
All the guilds, tailors, shoemakers, merchants and musicians were strictly organized. Only the bud (bath) and the hegdisch (nursing home) left something to be desired. More about this in the following humoresques.
Finally the bridge. This was the pulsing heart of the city. Like a watchman stood the famous, hardly 20 meter long bridge over the city's stream. Everything, living or dead that traveled to or from Czernowitz must pass over this bridge. On both sides there were inns where horses stopped, luggage was unloaded and one could get something to eat and a place to sleep. On one side was Itzig Laib Granierer. On the other side was Motie Brukenthal. The children of both of these rich inn keepers got the best education and were to become doctors.
At this bridge was the taxi stand for the fiacre[10] and the wägalech. They had a well organized, vigorous guild which played an important roll in the little city. The story Kässerl in Sadagora, VII tells more about these coachmen and teamsters.
Until the outbreak of war in 1914, Sadagora existed so to speak in the shadow of Czernowitz. This unholy war caused the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian empire, destroyed our Vatican and scattered the Tzaddikim dynasty. The ruins of the palace remind us that once happiness and wellbeing reigned here.
There where once the houses of the Gabuem stood, now graze goats on the luxuriant grass and bleat:
yisgadal v yiskadash[11]
Schimale Haker spoke up and made a great effort to control himself, but he bellowed like bull and pounded so hard on the table that the documents and the inkwell danced the czardasch.
The Herr Mayor became serious. Listen Schimak! I know that you are a tough guy, but if you pound on the table once more, I'll throw you out. Here one must be calm and speak in a respectful manner.
Excuse me please Herr Mayor, in my excitement I didn't realize that I was pounding on the table. That was not my intention.
Good, good interrupted the Herr Mayor, Jetzt efen a Pisk und sag' wo es
kweczt dich [Yiddish dialect Open a horse's mouth and say where it
pinches you]. And Schimale thundered his report as follows: We just broke
up a political rally in Czernowitz and chased away the Doktorlech.
The assertion that Doctor Straucher was a repetemt
is an insult for all of us. And if blood has to flow, we won't let the doktorlech into any rallies until it is proven if this claim is based on truth.
Whaat? Our Dr. Straucher a repetent? yelled the enraged Herr Dr. Mayor. Who said this and who heard it? All of us, rang out in the meeting room. And Dr. R. had said it coram populi [in the presence of the people].
Quiet gentlemen, said the Herr Mayor, suddenly becoming serious. Herr Dr. R. is to be sure, still a young man, but an honorable man and he would not say anything which he couldn't prove. The affair therefore not simple. We must ask the Herr Director of the German School to give us a copy of the catalog and then we will know the facts.
Where is Jankel the policeman? Here I am Herr Dr. Mayor Good, run over to the Director with this letter and wait for an answer. Jawohl [yes] Herr Mayor. And Jankel disappeared.
Then Awrumale Boibik spoke and informed the mayor in a business-like way about the meeting and the agitation against the followers of Straucher. And since the mayor was also a Straucher adherent, he quickly understood that there had been a misunderstanding.
Then Jankel the policeman came back with the answer. And the mayor who was also interested, read the letter stressing every word.
Benno Straucher born in Sadagora in 1854 (on the Baronufka) was a student of the German School in Sadagora and in accordance with the constitution of 1867 received a full scholarship and was a outstanding student.
Hurrah, hurrah echoed out into the street. but the Herr Mayor was still concerned.
Gentlemen, he said in a serious tone of voice. This situation is not so simple. For the time being, don't talk with anyone about it, go to Koeffler's wine hall and wait for me because the council room here is not the place for such discussions.
Quietly and obediently they all went to Koeffler's and waited for the mayor. (it was a good day for Koeffler).
An hour later a fiacre sped out of Czernowitz in the direction of Sadagora fully loaded with the Dokterlech and the Jewish political heavy weights among them, Dr. R.
The mayor led them also to Koffler's, asked for absolute quiet and gave Dr. R. the floor. Dr. first of all praised the loyalty of the Straucher followers and then gave the following explanation:
The Member of Parliament Herr Dr. Straucher depending on his own resources has been elected again and again to the Austrian Parliament. He came from the people and was on the side of the people as a champion of the little man. When he was reelected, a trouble maker said (referring to Parliament) This repetent is really lucky, Now he has again won his old place in Parliament. To be such a happy repetent I wish for all my friends.
A deafening hurrah which echoed in the room and rolled out into the streets was the answer. Thus conciliated, the enemy brothers traveled back to Czernowitz, not forgetting to profusely thank the cleaver mayor.
So the Herr Dr. Benno Straucher turned out to be an enviable repetent.
Early Thursday morning, Dojak posted himself armed with a rifle behind a door and waited for the oblivious rascal. The farm boys streamed into the marketplace and awaited the hero of the day. When Froikal arrived, he was greeted with a hallo and the game began The first player won, a huzzah from all throats confirmed their joy and reminded Dojak of his mission. Clumsily, he ran to the gaming place to grab Froikal red handed, but Froikal was quicker and hidden by the boys, he threw his calibok in a sack by Frosie fin di Kärn, [probably a woman vendor] wiped off his hands and stood next to a seller's table playing the innocent. Dojak took out his notebook and asked the scoundrel. What's your name? Froikal winked at the boys and said, I'm called Jissmach Moische. Dojak who understood the words hesitated for a second and then gave Froikal an unlawful ringing blow on his ear. Froikal, a crafty prozzessnik, said, Herr wachmeister, what was that for? And Dojak answered serenely, bematnas chelkoi. (the continuation of Jissmach Moische) the Jews present laughed heartily at a non-Jew coming up with the right answer and Froikal used the distraction to make his escape. He ran like a hare in zig-zags to Weissman's cellar and jumped in. The old fashioned drop doors fell inward and Froikal lifted them and held them shut with his shoulders.
Dojak with his rifle jumped on the doors and screamed like a madman, open in the name of the law. Open up or I'll shoot. Froikal let the doors fall and Dojak and his rifle tumbled into the cellar. The crowd laughed and cheered over this trick and Froikal knew it was time to disappear and made himself scarce. Dojak had to remain in the hospital for several days with severe skin abrasions on his hands and feet and brought Froikal to court.
Before the judge Froikal protested his innocence
But the judge had a different opinion and invited Froikal to spend 14 days in jail to recuperate from the fright that the Herr Wachmeister Dojak had given him.
Sissel Parech's pumpkin seeds were damp and not enjoyable. In contrast, at Malkale Herschl's, the seeds were well roasted and tasty. You got the best seeds from Frosie, but since she was not Jewish, her seeds were trefe [non-kosher].
As always, the Christians were lucky. They could also snack on trefe pumpkin seeds and were envied by the Jewish youth because of their good fortune. When they went to the market on Friday to buy seeds for the Shabbat, the smell of the fat that Frosie roasted her seeds in was so tempting that the spit ran out of their mouths, but they were trefe and they had to buy whatever was offered by the Jewish women. Frosie stood like a queen between full sacks of pumpkins seeds which by evening were empty (sold out). Her Jewish competitors broke their heads over the question of whom Frosie sold her seeds to, since there were really very few Christians but a satisfied Frosie laughed good naturedly and when she went home in the evening with empty sacks, she wished all her competitors a giten Schabes [a good Shabbat] and laughed.
Her little daughter, Lisa Repka, a pretty girl with black curly hair played with the Jewish children and was at home everywhere, a well liked chit of a girl who spoke Yiddish like all the other Jewish children and when she went out on Shabbat, she took along a pocket full of fine pumpkin seeds on which the children munched. Jean Pukacz, the son of the rich Karol Pukacz had an eye on Liesl but she wouldn't bite, since he was a Pollak. Karol Pukacz, the richest chasiernik (pig dealer) knew of his son's quirk and visited Frosie to see if it wasn't time to get serious. When Frosie told him to get lost, came the row and Jeamik [Jean?] told everyone who wanted to know that Frosie roasted the seeds with pig schmaltz and so vertarfit [made unclean, unkosher?] the entire city. But now that the Pukaczes wouldn't sell her any more pig schmaltz, she was no longer queen of the pumpkin seeds. Frosie laughed like always and on the next Friday, the Appricosen (freethinking Jews) came to her stand and purchased her entire supply. When Pukaczes snooped around to find out where she obtained her pig schmaltz, they were annoyed to find out that Frosie herself had started to keep pigs and therefore no longer had to depend on the good will of the Pukaczes. Neither the rabbinate or the Pukaczes could trip up Frosie and with time she even got Jewish retailers who would buy entire sacks from her and resell them as kosher goods. Frosie was and remained the queen of the pumpkins seeds and so remained until the outbreak of the war in 1914.
On the marketplace the women traded stories and Peronie told Fradl that she dreamed last night that Moische Retter, poor thing died and that Alterl is, poor thing, a double orphan, no father and no grandfather.
Dwossi fin die Tepp [female name] heard them talking about dreams and asked, who died, Moische Retter? Fradl said, That's what Peronie said. Woe is me] screamed Dwossi, Moische is my unkerichts (relative). I have to run to the Chewra Kadischa [burial society], Moische Retter has died. An uproar on the marketplace, everything stops, the Chewra Kadischa is alarmed and hurry to a stikel arbet [a little work].The city is in turmoil, Moische is dead.
As chance would have it, Moische Retter had migraine and gave orders to let no one in until his headache went away. His wife locked the door and sat down in the hall very sad about the migraines which plagued the old one so often.
A crowd gathered in front of the house and several of the curious peered into the windows and saw the old lady sitting there sadly. Everyone pitied the poor thing.
As Dwossi ran to the Chewra Kadischa, she met Alterl who was strolling in the street. Alterl cried Dwossi, Säde has died and you are playing around on the street? Come to the Chewra Kadischa. Alterl was shocked and ran over the street crying, woe is me, Säde has died. When they got home, the pallbearers were already there and a great number of people who were there for the Chewra Kadischa.
Meanwhile, Moische Retter felt better and went out to get a little fresh air and became aware of the crowd and the burial society.
Shocked, he asked who had died. A storm of laughter was the answer from those present and Dwossi said, that Peronie had said it. Meanwhile Peronie came along and screamed at Dwossi, you dumb behäme (cow), I told Fradl a dream and now look what you have done.
A piste Chulim! Auf alle piste Wälder![13] said Moische Retter and lit up a cigar.

Washington Boulevard/Paseo Padre Parkway Grade Separation
· City of Fremont
· URS Corporation
· Bay Area Rapid Transit District
· Union Pacific Railroad
Lying at the southeast end of the San Francisco Bay, the city of Fremont is at the junction of multiple rail lines. Starting in the 1870s, Central Pacific, Western Pacific, Southern Pacific, and Union Pacific Railroads all built tracks in Fremont. These lines ran both freight and passenger rail. For the past 40 years, Fremont has aggressively pursued a comprehensive program to eliminate the delays and safety hazards caused by rail operating over local roads, while creating a modern multimodal transportation facility. As Fremont grew to more than 210,000 people, these at-grade crossings became more dangerous for cars, bicycles, and pedestrians and created long delays for hundreds of idling cars waiting for long, slow-moving freight trains to pass. This project eliminated six at-grade railroad crossings, resulting in improved traffic circulation; reduced idling cars and noise; improved pedestrian/bicycle connectivity; a planned future BART Irvington station site; and landscaping beautification throughout.
SR 299 Buckhorn Projects
· Caltrans District 2
· Humboldt County Association of Governments
The State Route 299 Buckhorn projects consisted of Top of Buckhorn, Bottom of Buckhorn, and Yankee Gulch. These three sections of roadway all had operational deficiencies based on narrow pavement width, tight curvy alignments, limited sight distance, little or no clear recovery zone, nonstandard super-elevation transitions, and 25 mile per hour design speeds. Balancing the desire to retain the rural character with safety and environmental concerns, Caltrans was able to realign Buckhorn Grade with these three very successful projects.
Marin HOV GAP Closure – Puerto Suello Hill Segment
· Caltrans District 4
· Transportation Authority of Marin
· Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit
· Ghillotti Brothers
The Marin High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Gap Closure – Puerto Suello Hill Segment was the last of a corridor project that closed the 4.5 mile gap in the HOV lane system on U.S. Highway 101 in Marin County from Richardson Bay Bridge to Route 37, providing 17 miles of continuous HOV lanes in both directions. This project built HOV lanes on US-101 through the busiest segment of San Rafael and one of the most congested freeways in California. It also improved safety along US-101 by developing an auxiliary lane system and modifying on-ramp/off-ramp geometrics. The completed project made a marked difference in traffic flow and the area is no longer listed as one of the most congested areas in California. This project added capacity and relieved congestion on US-101 in Marin County and extended the HOV lane system to promote carpooling and transit, and enhanced access, safety, operation, and regional connectivity.
Big Bear Bridge Replacement
· Caltrans District 8
· U.S. Forest Service
The new Big Bear Bridge replaced the original built in 1924. The new bridge was built southwest of the dam and was constructed to safely accommodate bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles. Because of the prominent location of the bridge, visual impacts were of great concern; retaining walls were constructed to appear to be native rock. Trees were avoided when possible. The existing "rock-chain-pillar" theme was maintained, and the new structure blends form and function. The scenic value of the drive into Big Bear has been improved and the new bridge makes an impressive entry statement for the region.
THE ENVIRONMENTU.S. Highway 101 Wildlife Corridor Safety Project
· Caltrans, District 5
· California Conservation Corps, Los Padres Center
· ElectroBraid Fence Inc.
· U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
San Luis Obispo County is located in an area with a mix of wild lands, agriculture, and urban development, creating an environment where wildlife is regularly close to many local and state roadways. During the past decade, animal-vehicle collisions along a rural stretch of State Route 101 have increased. This area has been identified as a regionally important wildlife linkage corridor for black bears, mountain lions, deer, and other wildlife, connecting the Santa Lucia Mountain Range and Big Sur coastal ranges with the Traverse Ranges. Eight-foot-tall wire mesh wildlife fencing that blends in with the natural environment was placed on a 2.5 mile stretch of U.S. Highway 101 to keep wildlife off the highway and guide them to existing bridges and culverts that provide undercrossings for safe passage, which also improves wildlife connectivity. In addition, four ElectroMats were installed to prevent wildlife from accessing the highway where there are at-grade crossings for local roads and driveways. This project was designed to preserve natural resources, be visually compatible with the surrounding terrain, and enhance the environment by improving safety for both motorists and wildlife.
Hunter Hill Safety Roadside Rest Area
· Caltrans, District 4
· Mark Thomas and Company
· West Bay Builders
The Hunter Hill Safety Roadside Rest Area (SRRA) project upgraded the existing single-unit Hunter Hill SRRA located in Solano County. The Hunter Hill project was designed to showcase the specific beauty of the Hunter Hill rest area location, as well as the site's role as an entrance to the expansive and diverse urban bay area. The features include breathtaking views of the San Francisco Bay Area and preserved the waters of the flow through the rest area. Plants were chosen based on their aesthetic and environmental compatibility with flora of the surrounding hillsides. The site composition was designed to create exterior "spaces" that respond to the path of the sun, wind currents and breezes, is sheltered from traffic noise, and captures the magnificent views from various elevated vantage points. The new construction enhances the panoramic views, provides new features, such as a vending machine area, clean and modern restroom facilities, pet area, and peaceful picnic area with plenty of space to run around, stretch your legs or sit and rest.
· Caltrans Division of Traffic Operations
The Caltrans Division of Traffic Operations launched a new and exciting interactive traveler information website, "QuickMap." This innovative web-based tool, will greatly assist California travelers statewide as part of the paradigm shift into the future of roadway travel.
The QuickMap website, which was previously known as CA511 Traveler Information, allows the public access to highway information 24/7. The new website has many interactive and diverse features, which includes traffic incidents, chain controls, lane closures, changeable message signs, traffic speeds, camera snapshots, and links to regional 511s. By integrating these and other components into one tool, QuickMap is an essential and time-saving device when traveling.
Napa 121 Duhig Road Safety Project
· Caltrans District 4
· Caltrans District 4, Design Office (SHOPP)
· Caltrans District 4, Construction Office (North Counties)
· County of Napa
The Napa State Route 121 project widened shoulders in both directions, upgraded two horizontal curve radii, and realigned Duhig Road where it intersects with SR-121. These improvements enhanced functional efficiency, eliminated flood-prone vertical sags, and greatly improved the safety and operation of the highway. It also improved the maintainability of this segment of the State Highway System. The finished project not only improved safety, but is also compatible with surrounding environmental features, including enhancements to the natural resources, such as a natural-bottom fish passage on E. Hiuchica Creek.
1st Street Viaduct Widening
· Caltrans District 7, Division of Environmental Planning
· City of Los Angeles, Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering – Bridge Improvement Program
· Federal Highway Administration
· California Office of Historic Preservation
The 1st Street Viaduct is one of 12 historically significant bridges spanning the Los Angeles River in the city of Los Angeles. It is also an important east-west regional transportation link in and out of downtown Los Angeles. The viaduct was widened by 26 feet to accommodate a new light rail line and make critical safety improvements. The project is located in a highly urbanized area. Due to its sensitive location, the project was completed with the fewest possible environmental impacts. Crossing over the river in the westerly direction has always provided a dramatic view of Los Angeles' growing skyline. With the widening project, not only has this view become more panoramic, it also allows a smoother and safer crossing for vehicles and light rail. Because the integrity of the historic viaduct was preserved, it serves as an educational tool that demonstrates the growth and history of Los Angeles.
Salt Brine for Anti-Icing
· Caltrans District 3, Maintenance
Caltrans District 3 is responsible for snow removal operations on approximately 1,330 highway lane miles over 10 routes and seven counties. Snow and ice control is one of the district's most costly operations. Salt Brine Anti-Icing techniques save time, are cost effective and safer for workers and motorists, and they are more environmentally friendly than other methods. Salt brine-treated highways and bridges will resists frost for several days per application, reducing the time chain controls are in effect and the amount of traction sand used, significantly reducing chain control and sweeper employees' exposure to moving traffic. Also, with less sand on the roadway, visual quality is enhanced in the scenic rural communities of the Sierra Nevada. More importantly, there are fewer delays due to the reduced amount of time Caltrans needs to be on the travel way and there is better road delineation resulting safer conditions for workers and the motoring public.
Highway 99 Soundwall Community Safety and Safety and Enhancement Project, Phase 1
· Caltrans District 3, Division of Planning & Local Assistance
· Caltrans District 3, Division of Maintenance
· Caltrans District 3, Division of Right of Way
· City of Sacramento, Neighborhood Services
The Highway 99 Soundwall Community Safety and Enhancement Project represents an innovative and collaborative approach to restore aesthetics and safety to a community. State right-of-way, located between a soundwall and adjacent private properties along Highway 99, served as a thoroughfare for criminal activity. Also, the breeches in the soundwall provided a foundation for elaborate homeless camps. The state of the area blighted the neighborhood, while considerable resources were being spent for ongoing clean-up of homeless camps, litter, drug paraphernalia, illegally dumped materials, and trimming of overgrown trees and vegetation. The state right-of-way was "sold" – the underlying fee of $1 was waived – to adjacent property owners, closing the breeches in the soundwall and allowing backyard fences and property line to be extended to the soundwall. This shifted maintenance responsibilities from the state to the adjacent property owners and eliminated access to the state right-of-way. The project enhanced the environment by converting a hazardous, blighted section into an aesthetically pleasing area. The increased safety and improved aesthetics provided to residents was "priceless."
Soundwall Flood Release Panel
· Caltrans District 5
· Prototype Source, Inc.
· Santa Barbara County Association of Governments
· FinCo Fabrication
Heavy storms damaged a soundwall and homes along a stretch of U.S. Highway 101 in Santa Barbara due to the continuous barrier created by the soundwall that obstructed the passage of flood waters. It was urgent that the soundwall be re-designed. In order for flood waters to pass through, the soundwall would need to have continuous large openings, but this would render the soundwall unable to block freeway noise. A flood release mechanism would be needed. However, no such plan, provision, or specification was available in Caltrans' design manuals and no example could be found elsewhere. Therefore, the project team developed moveable flood release panels. The design solved the seemingly opposite of letting water through and keeping noise out. They operate automatically with no energy usage, are long lasting and resist impact, moisture, graffiti and weather extremes. The panels successfully duplicated the texture and color of the stucco soundwalls to which they are mounted, resulting in a cohesive appearance. The neighborhood residents enjoy the noise reduction and the peace of mind that flood waters will pass through.
Distribution Structure
· Caltrans Division of Engineering Services
· Caltrans District 4
The MacArthur Maze, also known as the San Francisco Bay Bridge Distribution Structure, is one of the largest freeway interchanges in the country. It's considered a lifeline route intersecting Interstates 80, 580, and 880, and is the main hub for all directions of traffic on the east side of the bay. Significant damage occurred to the structure during the Loma Prieta earthquake, resulting in the initiation of a seismic retrofit project. This was not a simple task due to the railroad tracks, multiple utilities, and the East Bay Municipal Utility District Channel that all converge in one general area. Because of extensive planning of the retrofit strategy, there were very limited traffic closures during the construction phase, limiting the impact to the traveling public. More importantly, the structure will now be able to withstand a major earthquake.
Way2Tahoe – Echo Summit
· Caltrans District 3
· C.C. Myers, Inc.
· ProProse Social Marketing
· Ruyak Media
The Way2Tahoe campaign was created to inform the public of the upcoming two-week full closure and months of one-way alternating traffic at Echo Summit on Highway 50, and preempt concerns and perceptions that the project would completely sever the transportation and economic lifelines to the South Lake Tahoe area. Instead, the campaign heavily emphasized that South Lake Tahoe was "open for business." A dedicated website was created, which resulted on more than 103,000 visitors. There were more than 52,000 views on Facebook, and more than 32 million impressions via online media. The campaign generated more than $150,000 in added value through bonus spots, additional traffic sponsorships and embedded messages on traffic reports. Partnership development and stakeholder engagement also helped extend the budget. Partnerships were established with the California Automobile Association, California Welcome Centers, 511 in Sacramento and the Bay area, Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority, El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce, Amador Council of Tourism, California Trucking Association, and local businesses. These contributions combined with the added value of the outreach that more than doubled the campaign budget, resulting, in minimal impact to businesses and a tremendously successful campaign.

Overlord: Raising Hell
What do you need help on?Cancel X
If you're stuck in Overlord: Raising Hell, ask your fellow GameFAQs members for help.
Controlling a mysterious figure who has inherited the legacy of the evil, long-dead Overlord, the player emerges, near death, from the ruins of the old Overlord's Dark Tower. Only your actions determine if you will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord; it's all down to how much of a fiend you want to be in order to succeed...evil or really evil! With plenty of black humor and dark irony, the game immerses players in twisted parodies of classic fantasy scenarios and characters. Overlord's key innovation is the introduction of an array of impish creatures: the minions. They believe you are the old Overlord reborn and will use their unique skills to fetch, fight, and die for you. Throughout the game, players actively control a horde of these gremlin-like critters, and they follow your every instruction no matter how despotic or, for the minions, life-threatening it is.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Earlier this week, the US government warned Americans to steer clear of Israel's northern Golan Heights. Now the United Nations is cautioning that neighboring Syria's ongoing civil war is likely to spill over the border.
"US citizens are advised to defer non-essential travel to and within the Golan Heights and to exercise an extra measure of caution," read an email sent by the US Embassy in Tel Aviv to American citizens living in Israel.
The warning came after Syrian government and rebel forces engaged in a days-long battle for the border town of Quneitra, with Syrian forces entering the demilitarized buffer zone between Israel and Syria for the first time in decades.
Around the same time, Austria, which is the largest contributor of troops to the UN peacekeeping force stationed on the Golan border, announced that it was pulling its soldiers out of the region.
The peacekeepers making up the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) have been repeatedly targeted by Syrian rebels in recent months, and many have expressed their total lack of motivation to risk their lives to prevent war between Israel and its neighbors.
The Austrian troops began withdrawing on Wednesday, as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon opened rushed negotiations with Sweden to replace the absentee peacekeepers.
In fact, Ban said, there is an urgent need to actually increase the size of the UNDOF deployment. "The ongoing military activities in the area of separation continue to have the potential to escalate tensions between Israel and the Syrian Arab Republic and to jeopardize the ceasefire between the two countries," said the UN chief.
Ban wants to see the force increased to 1,250 combat-ready troops, and to significantly improve their defensive capabilities.

Walking In the Light
_,____ Just how much has Deeper Life Week meant to you this fall? How
often we sit and take in sermon after sermon, letting them stir us for
the moment, catching a glimpse of what the Lord has for us, but losing
it because we do not recall the truths and meditate upon them until
they become a part of our lives. Let's not lose what the Lord has
given us through Rev. Green. Let's look these things over again and
again until they become real to us.,
"If we walk in the light, as He is in the light". How big that little
word "if" can be. It's so easy for us to pray "Lord, cleanse me," but
God says we must make a deliberate attempt to walk in the light if we
expect Him to cleanse us. And what is the light? Not the light of our
own understanding but rather the light of God revealed to us through
His Word. And, as Rev. Green pointed out so vividly we needn't shovel
the darkness out, but just turn on the light and the darkness is driven
". . . we have fellowship one with another". How true that most
of our trouble is not between us and God but among ourselves. Let's
not keep someone else in our prison because we are too\ proud to
lower ourselves and ask forgiveness.
". . . and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all
sin." Are you a spiritual adulterer? Does someone or something other
than Jesus Christ claim your affection? Have you given in to the enemy
as Samson did and so lost his vision? Let's search our lives and discover
our "Delilahs". Let's reckon ourselves crucified with Christ, our ears
attentive to His voice, our hands ready always to serve, our feet taking
us forward in His will, our eyes seeing always Jesus Christ, and our
tongue clean, silent on our own behalf, but always speaking up for
Christ. Our God is big enough to keep us "Walking in the Light" or
He wouldn't have demanded it of us.

Packed With Fun
Juniors Retreat
by Carolyn Clark
From 1:00 p.m. Saturday till 8 p.m. Sunday last weekend, the
twenty-nine juniors who "retreated" to Medicine Lake had a weekend
packed with fun and blessings.
A new innovation in the school program, the spirited junior class
felt they needed a chance to really get acquainted as well as "get away
from the books."
In addition to nineteen members of the class, eight girls, who
would be juniors had they not pursed their education in other schools,
joined the group for the weekend. From Mounds Midway School of
Nursing came Jolyn Conrad, Genevieve Sutton, Carolyn Friske, Carol
Bachman, and Marilyn Backlund. Pat Noland and Mary Quernemoen
left their studies at the University of Minnesota and Dorothy Riek left
her secretarial position in Minneapolis.

President Wingblade
How true it is that one Spirit-filled sentence can change a life. I
would sometimes say to the young people during the first day of a
summer assembly: "What is going to be the big thing this week?" Is
it going to be soine great sermon or some great lecture, or maybe a
quiet conversaticin by the fountain?"
We are so prone to neglect small opportunities in Christian work,
but there are no small opportunities. Everything counts. The smaller
the child, the greater the possibilities. A friendly smile, a cheery "good
morning," a wave of the hand, and something can happen that gives
power for many an hour, and indeed the entire course of life may be
A while ago I was privileged to be at the dedication of our church
in Denver, and to my joy I found that the venerable Dr. Joshua Gravett,
pastor of the Galiliee Baptist church in Denver for sixty years, was
to lead in the dedicatory prayer. After the meeting, I had opportunity
to chat with him, and I asked him about an incident that had occurred
in his life some years before when he was instrumental in leading a
man to Christ. This was the story:
Dr. Gravett came up to a drinking fountain and just then another
man stepped up. Dr. Gravett le him drink first, but while he was
drinking Dr. Gravett said, "If you drink of he living water you will
never thirst again"—and a few more words.
Some time later they met again in a federal building where this
man was employed. Then he told Dr. Gravett what had happened. He
had come up to that drinking fountain with a pellet in his hand to
commit suicide. He said, "I had come to the end of the road, but
your words turned me from darkness to light, from despair to hope."
And that man became a Christian.
It was President Houghton who wrote that song: "Lead me to some
soul today, and teach me, Lord, just what to say."
When He leads and we follow, then there are no mistakes and no
regrets. Then our lives will truly "tell for Jesus."

Only Four Lettermen Return
To Bolster Royal's Cage Team
Twenty Bethel men are working hard in preparation for the oncom-ing
basketball season. Training rules are the guideposts for the season
as the cagers perfect their paces under the able leadership of Coach
Del Ray Peterson and Assistant Coach Elmer Fischer.
Only four first-string letter winners are back for this year's tough
schedule. Gene Messenger, Mel Nygren, Pete Unruh, and Clarence Wood
are the vets working into shape.' Gene Messenger hails from Fergus
Falls, Minnesota. A junior at Bethel, Gene stands 5' 6" with his umbrella
up. Sophomore Mel Nygren of Minneapolis is the longest letterman on
the Bethel squad with his 6' 1/2". Standing an even six feet, Pete Unruh
starts his last season with the Royals. Pete's a seminary senior in his
seventh year of higher education playing his fourth year of ball with
Bethel. Also finishing his four years of play for Bethel is Clarence
Wood. This 5' 11 1/2" lad commutes all the way from Chehal's, Wash-ington.
Four sophomores won minor letters on the B basketball squad last
year and are working together again this year. Al Christenson, Fred
Thomas, Don Erickson and Gene Glader are the fellows who earned
their letters as frosh. Both coming from Racine, Wisconsin, Al Christ-enson
and Fred Thomas stand .5' 7" and 5' 10" respectively. Don
Erickson, a native of the Twin Cities, feels right at home on the basket-ball
floor. He's 5' 11" tall. From Cambridge, Minnesota, 5' 8" Gene
Glader is the fourth letter winning soph playing again.
Three of the freshmen candi-dates
for the team were four-year
letter winners in high school,
serving as captains during their
senior years. They are Bob Ken-dall
of Alexandria, standing 6 feet;
Paul Nyberg from Kennedy, Min-nesota

In late 1979, Murray Carson purchased the house, which at the time was only 88 acres. From there an extensive gradual overhaul of the land, making valuable use of the natural lay of the land and existing clubhouse began; with Murray's young loved ones working alongside. Murray, coming out of the trade of custom home building, working alongside famous architects and having no golfing experience or real knowledge of the game of golf built and designed the course. It opened on July 1, 1985; maple leaf flags waving to celebrate Canada's Birthday along with the birth of what you play today, 4 Seasons Country Club.

Prudential RideLondon will be the largest mass-participation cycling festival ever held in the UK, with over 70,000 cyclists, including some of the world's top professionals, taking part across four separate events.
To be held on 3-4 August 2013 the festival is expected to give a major boost to the number of active cyclists in the UK, while attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to London and Surrey.
"Following the superhuman efforts of our Team GB cyclists last year, thousands of cycling enthusiasts, both experienced and amateur, riding a fantastic route through the streets of our fine city is surely a fitting legacy."
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London
The exciting events will also help encourage people of all ages and abilities to take to two wheels. Children and families are encouraged to get involved via the FreeCycle event, an eight-mile mass-participation ride which is free to enter and open to everyone.
Prudential Group Chief Executive Tidjane Thiam and Surrey County Council leader David Hodge joined Boris Johnson and Laura Trott in unveiling the routes for the mass participation Prudential RideLondon–Surrey 100, and the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic race for professional male cyclists. Starting in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the routes pass many of London's iconic landmarks, before passing through Richmond Park and out into the stunning Surrey Hills – including the testing climbs and undulating terrain of Box Hill and Leith Hill – and then returning to finish in the heart of the capital on The Mall in true Olympic style.
Commenting on today's announcement, the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson said: "Following the superhuman efforts of our Team GB cyclists last year, thousands of cycling enthusiasts, both experienced and amateur, riding a fantastic route through the streets of our fine city is surely a fitting legacy. I am delighted that six months on from Laura Trott's breathtaking gold in the Omnium we are in a position to announce the routes and title sponsor. Prudential RideLondon is sure to become one of the world's top cycling events, the countdown to the start of the event begins now!"

Prudential Group Chief Executive Tidjane Thiam said: "The 2012 Games reaffirmed London's leading position on the world stage. Today, following on this historic success for our capital city, Prudential is announcing a long-term partnership with RideLondon. I am confident that this exciting, annual event will become both a global showcase for London and a leading mass-participation sporting festival, promoting the values of healthy, active lifestyles for people of all ages throughout Britain."
Surrey County Council Leader David Hodge said: "Both Box Hill and Big Ben will show off the very best of Britain when Surrey's picture-perfect countryside contrasts with London's famous cityscape during the 100-mile event. But entrants should put in some serious training as the hills in Surrey can prove tough if you're not cycle-fit."
Laura Trott, double Olympic gold medallist and Prudential RideLondon ambassador, said: "It's exciting to think that in less than six months' time Prudential RideLondon will have started and the streets of London and Surrey will be filled with over 70,000 cyclists taking part in the two-day festival. Prudential RideLondon has something for everyone and I hope it encourages more people to get on their bikes and start cycling."
Transport for London Surface Planning Director Ben Plowden said: "This is an exciting time for cycling in the capital and Prudential RideLondon is anticipated to create another major boost, building on the legacy of the London 2012 Games. The two-day cycling festival will have something for spectators and cyclists of all ages and abilities, creating the largest annual mass-participation cycling event in the UK."
London & Partners Head of Major Events Iain Edmondson said: "Prudential RideLondon will show off the best of the capital from the historic and traditional to the modern and quirky. Starting in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park close to the Olympic Velodrome – the city's newest world-class cycling venue, currently bidding to stage the 2016 World Track Cycling Championships – Prudential RideLondon strengthens London's commitment to build a legacy of international sport following the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games."
Hugh Brasher, Board Director of event organisers the London and Surrey Cycling Partnership, said: "The double announcement of Prudential as title sponsors of the weekend, plus the routes for the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 and Classic events, is a real milestone. The challenge for the successful entrants is to get to the start line fit and ready to cycle 100 miles within the nine hour cut-off. Our challenge is to ensure that we deliver a world-class event that inspires the next Laura Trott and delivers on its four-year goal to become the largest fundraising charity cycle ride in the world."
The four events making up the two-day cycling festival are:
The Prudential RideLondon–Surrey 100 to be held on Sunday 4 August. Open to amateur and club riders, this 100-mile event attracted over 55,000 registrants who will find out from today if they have been successful in securing a place. Those that haven't may still be able to take part through one of the many charities with guaranteed entries, or teams of four (men, women or mixed) from the same organisation can enter the Business Relay, where each team member will ride around 25 miles. Details of charity places and the Business Relay are on the Prudential RideLondon website at www.PrudentialRideLondon.co.uk
The Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic for elite men's professional riders brings the drama of a classic one-day style of racing back to Britain for the first time in 16 years. To be held on Sunday 4 August, the 140 mile route includes all the highlights of the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 route plus the testing challenge of three ascents of Leith Hill, the highest point in Surrey and even steeper than Box Hill.
The Prudential RideLondon Grand Prix to be held on Saturday 3 August, which will feature the world's best women, junior and hand cyclists in action on a circuit in and around St James's Park.
The Prudential RideLondon Freecycle to be held on Saturday 3 August. This eight-mile mass-participation ride is free to enter and open to cyclists of all ages and abilities. It aims to encourage anyone inspired by the London 2012 Games to take up cycling as part of an active and healthy lifestyle. Register now at www.PrudentialRideLondon.co.uk It's free!
Highlights of the Prudential RideLondon festival and live coverage of the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic will be shown on BBC TV. An international promotional campaign will attract hundreds of thousands of spectators, global TV audiences and substantial economic benefits. It will also provide a long term source of income for investment into improving conditions for cycling in London and into other cycling initiatives.
Today's announcement comes six months to the day after Team GB track cyclist Laura Trott won her second London Olympic gold medal, in the Omnium.

UPDATE: I just found out that the 49ers suspended a player just last month for comments criticizing the team and the coach. So it's not just possible for them to suspend Culliver, they have suspended players for their big mouths. And they went public with the disciplinarian action. So why are the 49ers refusing today to say what disciplinary action if any they took against Culliver? Is it because anti-gay bigotry isn't as big a deal to the 49ers as being mean to a coach?
UPDATE: The San Francisco 49ers have just issued some bs statement about Chris Cullier's bigotry – and the statement says pretty much nothing at all:
"The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made yesterday, and have addressed the matter with Chris. There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT community."
You "reject" them? That's nice of you. And you "addressed" it. How? What kind of bs non-answer is this from the San Francisco 49ers? Their player made incredibly bigoted statements at an official NFL Super Bowl event. And the 49ers respond with "we've addressed it." I don't think so. What do the 49ers plan to do to address the incredibly bigotry that one of their players showed during an official NFL Super Bowl event? This wasn't even an apology.
Chris Culliver, a San Francisco 49ers football player who will be playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday, used a Super Bowl media event to reportedly tell all gays to get out of the NFL.
Here's the audio. And unless the audio is a fake – and it comes from Yahoo Sports, so I doubt it – this isn't "reportedly" any more:
Mind you, this anti-gay bigot plays for SAN FRANCISCO. Where, as you may have heard, a few gay people live.
If this ass gets to play football on Sunday, then there needs to be an all out war on the NFL. There's a reason that there are no openly-gay football players in the NFL, and we'll know what that reason is if the NFL doesn't can this bigot.
And, he did it at the Super Bowl's own media day. In other words, he did this as a player in the Super Bowl, not as a private citizen (as if that matters when you say that anybody gay needs to quite the NFL now).
"I don't do the gay guys man," said Culliver, whose Niners play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. "I don't do that. No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do.
"Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah…can't be…in the locker room man. Nah."
When quizzed by Lange whether any homosexual athletes would need to keep their sexuality a secret in football, Culliver responded: "Yeah, come out 10 years later after that."
The NFL had better kicked Culliver's fat bigoted ass out of the game. Is there any doubt that Chris Culliver – or any player – wouldn't be playing on Sunday had he suggested that all blacks need to quit the NFL, or all Jews? (
Feel free to tell Culliver what you think about his incredibly hateful, bigoted comments via Twitter: @cullyinthehouse
And feel free to let the NFL know how you feel about Culver using an official NFL media event to tell the world that gays had better get out of the NFL: @nfl
If you're looking for anyone else to express your concerns too, Mr. Culliver provides the info in his Twitter account for his agent:
For media, press, and booking contact Theodore Palmer at 6465752967 or [email protected] @CreativeEdgePRS
In another recent tweet, he seems to make some crack about women's periods:
Fortunately, the response on Twitter has been uniformly bad for Culliver. Though a few phobes have sided with Culliver:
Most however – a LOT – have been blasting him. Here are only a few:

MARTINEZ, Ga. – The Peach Belt Conference (PBC) released its Women's Cross Country Preseason Poll Thursday, with the Bobcats taking the fifth spot in the 10-team league.
The Bobcats picked up two third-place votes and one fourth-place vote, finishing with 48 total, just six behind No. 4-ranked UNC Pembroke. Augusta State University was first, with Columbus State University in second and Clayton State University taking third.
The Bobcats took sixth place at the PBC Championship meet in 2010, thanks in part to an All-PBC Second Team finish by Allison Lones (Kathleen, Ga.). The freshman led the Bobcats in the final six races of her rookie season.
GC cross country starts its season Friday, Sept. 2 at home, hosting the Bobcat Invitational on the West Campus Cross Country Course.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.
