Minnesota pushes seat belt safety awarenessHawley, MN (WDAY TV) - Trying to prevent accidents like this, Minnesota is kicking off a campaign; pushing teens to strap on their seat belts.
Hawley, MN (WDAY TV) - Trying to prevent accidents like this, Minnesota is kicking off a campaign; pushing teens to strap on their seat belts.
The 30-second video shows real students killed in accidents who didn't have their belts on, giving a real feel to the dangers of not wearing it.
A Hawley teen knows all too well how scary rolling a vehicle can be.
You might remember Jordan Bortnem. Just six weeks ago, he totaled his truck. The 16-year-old was life-flighted to Sanford, but in the end he was OK… And his family is thankful.
Lisa Bortnem-Wiser: "I didn't get that much sleep that night."
It was in-between the fear,
Bortnem: "I was on my way to football practice."
the panic,
Bortnem-Wiser: "I went to go to football practice, it was 5 O'clock in the morning. And I fell asleep while I was driving."
and the crunching metal,
Bortnem: "I crawled out and got life-flighted to the hospital."
that 16-year-old Jordan Bortnem found himself alive.
Bortnem: "I broke my leg in a car accident."
It was likely still dark; the sun still rising when his mother found out.
"Talked about his car, and I asked him if he was OK and he said fine, but I wrecked my car."
Lisa Bortnem rushed to the hospital thankful her son was wearing his seatbelt.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it could have been worse."
For other families it is.
Between 2010 and 2012, 852 drivers were killed on Minnesota roads. 42% of them found not wearing their seatbelts; 171 were under the age of 30.
So today, in between punts, play and passes, Jordan Bortnem watches his team warm up; frustrated he can't play, but thankful
Bortnem: "Saved me, so I probably should wear it."
his life line allowed him to live.
Jordan is up and walking now.
In a crash, odds are six times greater for injury if you're not buckled up.

PAUL SMITHS - A biologist who discovered a new species of primate in the Congo will speak at the Paul Smith's College Fisheries and Wildlife Seminar Series.
Terese and John Hart will give a talk Friday, titled "Discovery and protection of Okapi, Bonobo, and a new species of monkey in a central Congolese forest."
"Their discovery is remarkable," Professor Eric Simandle said. "It is rare to find a new animal species, rarer yet to find a new vertebrate species, and virtually unheard of to discover a new species of primate."
Their talk will focus on conservation of the species including threats, and community-based conservation.
Two other Fisheries and Wildlife Seminar talks are scheduled this semester:
The seminars, which are free and open to the public, take place from 10:10 to 11 a.m. in the Freer Auditorium.
For the past six years, Paul Smith's College has hosted a different professional fisheries and wildlife biologist each month as part of the series, which is sponsored by the Fisheries and Wildlife Science program.

PAEA Virtual Fair 2014
April 22nd and 23rd. Sponsored by PAEA (Physician Assistant Education Association), the Physician Assistants Virtual Fair allows those interested in learning more about the PA profession to connect real-time with 20 PA programs, including MEDEX Northwest. You'll be able to live chat with the MEDEX Admissions Team from anywhere, and learn more about MEDEX, the admission process, and the PA profession.
Ruth Ballweg's Changing Role at MEDEX
Long-time MEDEX leader, Ruth Ballweg, and Dr. Tom Norris, Chair of the Department of Family Medicine, have announced that Ruth will step down from her leadership position on May 1, 2014. A graduate of MEDEX Class 11, Ruth joined the MEDEX faculty in 1981, became Program Director in 1985, and moved into the role of Section Chief for MEDEX in 2011. She was promoted to the rank of Professor in the School of Medicine in July 2013.
Application Cycle
The MEDEX application is now closed for the 2013/2014 cycle! All CASPA and MEDEX supplemental applications submitted before the deadline will be reviewed and all applicants will be provided application status by email.
For all applicants planning to apply in 2014/2015 the application cycle opens in May with a final deadline of October 1st for enrollment the following year.
MEDEX Tacoma Campus Now Open
MEDEX Northwest is proud to have opened its newest site—for 28 students—on the campus of the University of Washington, Tacoma. Our opening ceremony on September 16th honored the entering students, but also the leaders throughout the community who have helped to make this happen.
The Liza Benson Endowed Fund for MEDEX
The Liza Benson Endowed Fund for MEDEX was established in loving memory of Elizabeth G. "Liza" Benson by her mother, sister and brother. This fund will support scholarships for aspiring physician assistants in perpetuity. Donate to the fund.
New MEDEX "Engagement" Video
What does it take to become a physician assistant? Apart from the basic clinical skills of medicine, one must cultivate trusting relationships with the patients. During their first year at MEDEX Northwest, PA students learn the necessary clinical skills in the classroom setting— taking a medical history, and conducting medical examinations. Then they apply this learning to their first patients: elderly, high-functioning residents at local retirement homes.
MEDEX Seattle Opens New Classroom
On January 6th, the current MEDEX Seattle didactic students returned from winter break to a new classroom, effectively doubling the size of the previous space.
PAs and the ACA
A recently published article in Academic Medicine examines the potential impact of the Affordable Care Act on large medical education programs, including the University of Washington. Entire sections address the critical importance of physician assistants in implementation of the ACA.
The Interactive Classroom
"The Interactive Classroom" details the thought, care, and planning that goes into designing the didactic year classroom experience for MEDEX students. Four faculty discuss the move from a purely lecture-based curriculum to physician assistant instruction that engages on multiple levels— kinetically, experientially, and as a team. Members of Seattle Class 46 are featured.
Students Awarded Tillman Scholarships
Two current MEDEX students, DJ Smith of Seattle Class 46 and Dustin Golding of Yakima Class 19, have been awarded the prestigious Tillman Military Scholarship. Of 1,800 total applicants, only 60 were selected based on their service already rendered and their desire to continue that service. MEDEX Northwest congratulates DJ and Dustin for this recognition.

Is anyone here voting Constitution Party? I recently changed allegiances from GOP to the CP although I am still torn as whether to vote my principles or to vote against Obama by voting for McCain. One of the main reasons I changed is due to my study of originalism and I had a slight crisis of conscience especially after being disgusted with the direction the GOP has gone lately. It also frightens me to find myself in the same camp as the Rounulans. :eek:

The sun may have risen on the career of Bio Kim and set on the career of Chris Riley on Monday.
They were just two of the 102 who played at Newport Beach and Big Canyon country clubs in one of 11 qualifying events for next week's U.S. Open golf tournament. These events are warmup agony to the real thing. That will be next week, at Merion, Pa., starting June 13. It will be, as always, 72 holes of pain and suffering.
Five golfers won the opportunity to be tortured at Merion by the U.S. Golf Assn., which would use land mines to set up its courses if allowed to. Kim was the best, shooting 62 in the morning at Newport Beach and 71 in the afternoon at Big Canyon. That was 10 under par.
Ninety-seven more, including Riley, will be pain-free next week and, most likely, miserable about that. Riley shot an opening 67 at Newport Beach, then disintegrated to an 81 at Big Canyon. That was five over par.
U.S. Open qualifying day is always long, dramatic and fascinating. That Kim, an unheralded 22-year-old from South Korea via Irvine, could be 15 shots better than Riley, a 39-year-old recent PGA Tour regular and Ryder Cup player from San Diego, is testament to that.
Kim said afterward, "I wasn't thinking much about qualifying. I just let things happen."
Riley said afterward, "I'm at the end of my career."
There are a million stories in the naked city and several dozen at each of these qualifiers.
In 2008, Rocco Mediate barely got in, almost deciding to leave the course before getting a shot in a playoff. Only a limping Tiger Woods stopped Rocco's run after that.
Last year, Dennis Miller, a club pro from Youngstown, Ohio, got in as a last-second alternate, then made the Big Torture when his final putt in a playoff stopped at the edge of the cup, then dropped in as Miller turned and walked away in frustration.
Beau Hossler of Rancho Santa Margarita qualified as a 16-year-old two years ago, then made it again last year and actually held the tournament lead at Olympic Club for about 15 minutes. Monday, Hossler, now a member of the University of Texas team, shot 72-83, 11 over par and 88th out of the 102.
Kim started with three birdies at Newport Beach, then maintained his composure on the more difficult Big Canyon layout to coast home.
"I got a lot of help from my caddie," he said.
According to Kim, Tim Silverman not only kept him loose on the course, but taught him lots about the game and, as a longtime friend, even taught him some English.
"He would have me say bad things to random people," Kim said. "I learned the language fast."
Kim got his PGA Tour card through qualifying school in 2010, then finished 171st, losing the card. He now plays on the Web.com tour. Missing the cut in the last event allowed him time to get back to the West Coast for practice rounds for this qualifier.
"I was driving the ball lousy," Kim said, "so those wide-open fairways at Newport Beach really looked good."
He made five putts of more than 10 feet in his morning round.
Riley had a similar nice time at Newport Beach, and was still in contention when he got to the par-four 17th hole, his eighth at Big Canyon. He drove it left out of bounds, took a seven and then hit his drive out of bounds right on the next hole for a double-bogey seven.
That was a front nine of 43, and when he took a seven on No. 2, his likely last shot at another U.S. Open berth — his fourth — was gone.

Hi all,
I started my "transformation" today, got up an hour early and did my first workout with weights. It wasn't perfect but I completed it! Worked up quite a sweat too. It is good to already have my workout out of the way and be able to focus on my eating for the rest of the day.
One day at a time...
Hi Dan
I am also starting today after a few failed attempts this year. Sure that is not what you want to hear but I am not giving up this time. Have a lot to gain and to prove to myself. My workout is tonight.
Good luck with your first week. Yes, one day at a time....
Lets use this forum to support and encourage each other and together we can make it through these next twelve weeks. Good luck with your workout tonight, let me know how it goes.
Will do and thanks. Good luck with your cardio tomorrow.
Hi Dan and Surika,
I officially started on 8/24, but will consider last week a warm up and officially start today if you guys would like to make a little "group" to hold each other accountable?
Let me know - would love to share food ideas, etc.
I work with a trainer 2-3 days a week who is going to model my workouts around the BFL workouts, and I'll be in charge of my cardio and food.
Hi Jeanne,
Absolutely, please join us. The more of us there are the better are ability to support each other through the next 12 weeks. What were your impressions of the first week?
Hi Dan,
As long as I planned....it wasn't bad at all. I've haven't been too creative with food simply because I want to follow it as closely as possible. So meals have been things like LF cottage cheese and an apple, egg whites and yogurt, etc.....basically just going off of the List of Authorized foods in the book.
I have started adding the EAS bars (Myoplex Lite Chocolate Chocolate Chip Crisp) and the shakes (Myoplex Lite Chocolate Fudge) usually one of each per day.
I'm trying to stick with the eating times of 7, 10, 1, 4, 7 and 10 (but sometime can't eat anymore by 10pm)
Hello all
Mind another person joining in, and Starting today as well? Did a home body fat % last night and yes I need to get going and not stop.
Good work Dan on getting your workout in already. They do get smoother or more flowing. I will get my workout in this afternoon.
Good luck all.
Jeremy -- absolutely!
What did you use for the body fat % test?
Thanks for the tips, I am basically following the book as well.
I hope they get smoother... ;-)
I could hardly raise my arms to wash my hair!
HAHA LOL, My likes to sew, and she has some sort of measureing device for that, that we used. It wasn't excact, but I know it is really close. She had 1st brought out a pair of tongs (for cooking), then wanted to measure the tongs with a tape measure. It took my 5 min to stop laughing when I saw that.
Hello all,
I also started today. I have been eating fairly clean and working out for a while now but wanted to join the challenge to pick it up a notch. I look forward to the encouragement to and to encourage. Day 1 is the 1st step and we can all make it to the finish.
Hi Walkn,
That is exactly the way I looked at it, Goal 1 - Make through day 1, Goal 2 - Make through Week 1.
Do you guys know of anything I can print out to "track" each meal? Or do you just make your own spreadsheets/logs?

Per Dylan Hernandez, the Dodgers have signed LHP Dana Eveland to a minor league contract. Though he only just turned 27 a few weeks ago, Eveland's been quite the journeyman in his short career. Originally drafted by the Brewers in 2002, he was traded to Arizona in 2006, where he lasted just one season before being sent to Oakland as part of the Dan Haren deal following 2007. In 2008 with the A's, Eveland saw his only real major success, putting up a 4.09 FIP over 168 IP in 29 starts. He couldn't replicate that in 2009 and spent most of the year in AAA, then was sent to Toronto in February of 2010. Eveland made 9 starts as a Jay this year, was traded to Pittsburgh in June, but was DFA'd after just 3 games and spent the rest of the year with the Pirates' AAA club in Indianapolis. Phew!
Eveland's not, you know, good. His fastball doesn't top 90 often, and if he was that valuable he wouldn't have ended up on 19 different teams before his age-27 year. Still, it's a no-risk deal, and the Dodgers have had good success with guys like Chan Ho Park, Jeff Weaver, and Aaron Sele in the past on signings like that. For the low, low price of almost nothing, they've managed to bring in a guy who's entering his prime, has seen action in 95 major league games, and does a good job of keeping the ball in the park (0.65 HR/9) and on the ground (50%). More than likely, he's ticketed for depth in AAA rather than the rotation, but it's depth worth having, and a deal worth making. Besides, to accept a minor league deal this early in the winter, Eveland – who's from Palmdale, CA – must have really wanted to be a Dodger.

Dear Mr. Alan,Fantastic, fantastic. I also love that you've found the pictures to put in the stories. I alas only have a couple and I wish I had many more. The memory fades, so pictures become more important. Back then pictures were much more difficult (even pre-Polaroid era!) which makes them that much more precious.That all being said, I'm glad that we fought on the same side!With regards,
Archibald Sharron
Nice talking to you Mr Archibald. I search for photographs that are out of copyright and in this case because it is WW2 I went to the British War Museum gallery to complement what I have from my family albums.

Parisian born, Manguin began his career as an artist in 1894 by enrolling in the studio of Gustave Moreau at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Among his fellow students were Albert Marquet, Henri Matisse, Jean Puy and Georges Rouault. He exhibited for the first time in 1902 at the Salon des Indépendants and at Berthe Weil's in 1903. Subsequently he became an associate of the Salon d'Automne to which he remained loyal until the end of his career. He also had one-man shows at Druet, Vollard and Bernheim-Jeune galleries in Paris over the years.
He was represented in the 1905 Salon d'Automne, where his canvas entitled La Sieste was hung in the room that was famously derided as the Cage aux Fauves. By association, therefore, he was known as one of the Fauvists. It was also in 1905 that Manguin discovered Provence and St Tropez, where he stayed with Paul Signac. Captivated by the beauty of the place, he finally bought a property called L'Oustalet in 1920 where later on he met Henri Edmond Cross.
In Paris at the Académie Ranson in 1908, he met up with François Jourdain and with Marquet, with whom he travelled to Naples the following year. Ever in search of landscapes to paint, Manguin travelled the length and breadth of France over a period of many years, though rarely again did he venture abroad. He followed this half-nomadic lifestyle, his watercolours always with him and never staying long in any one place, until the outbreak of war in 1939. He is known to have stayed in diverse locations: in 1910 Honfleur, in 1911 Sanary, in 1912-1914 Cassis, 1915-1918 Lausanne, in 1920 back to St Tropez and Honfleur, in 1923 Marseille and Albi, in 1924 La Rochelle and Bordeaux, in 1925 Antwerp, Uzerche, Cahors and Avignon, in 1926 Toulon, in 1927 Castellane and Haute Provence, in 1928 Gien, the Loire and Avignon, in 1931 Port Louis and La Trinité-sur-Mer, in 1933 Concarneau, in 1934 Saint-Servan, in 1937 St-Malo and in 1938 Dinard and St-Paul-de-Vence. In 1940 he distanced himself from the war and returned to the studio which he had kept in Avignon, returning there to work each year. In 1949, the year of his death, he decided to leave Paris for good and make his home in Saint-Tropez.
In 1937 during the Exposition Internationale de Paris he participated in an exhibition of the Maitres d'Art Indépendants at the Petit-Palais with eight paintings that represented his work. The first, Saint-Tropez, was named as a Fauvist landscape in the catalogue. The others were entitled Femme à la grappe, Nu couché, Femme nue, Baigneuse au rocher, La Coiffure, La Femme au carrick, and Le Pélargonium. In 1943 a gallery in Paris presented a large group of his paintings and in 1950 the Salon des Indépendants organised an Exhibition as a posthumous tribute to his work.
Manguin's subjects are women, painted in a feminine manner, nude, asleep, at their toilette or bathing. He painted landscapes, many of them on the Mediterranean coast and still lifes, almost always flowers. The critic and poet Apollinaire characterised him as peintre voluptueux and indeed he considered himself to be the painter of a happy life". He painted only the most harmonious aspects of the world and his methods and use of bright colours reflect his own joie de vivre. Whilst in St Tropez, he conducted long discussions (of which records exist) on the theory of colour and light with his contemporaries and friends Paul Signac and Charles Camoin. Renoir's dealer Ambrose Vollard was greatly interested in his work and techniques and the poet/painter/musician Tristan Klingsor mentioned Manguin in his book La Peinture, published in 1921: "his search for bright, vibrant colours, his outbursts of orange, his sumptuous reds…even the shadows contribute to the levity and gaiety, often taking on tones of green".
Working during the first heady days of the 20th century and having had his work exhibited in the very room whence Fauvism burst upon the public, it was natural that Manguin should consider himself a true Fauve. Initially he was criticised for his use of unnaturally strident acid greens, but in time he attenuated his palette and even the greens he used became harmonised with the rest of the piece. Indeed he was always rather less wild in his technique than some of the Fauves, planning his canvases with greater restraint than others in the group and retaining more control over the composition.

Understanding the hearing process
Prehearing conference
Once you have filed a demand for hearing, the judge will schedule a prehearing conference. The prehearing conference is usually held by telephone. Participants include (1) you and/or your representative, (2) a person who represents the insurance commissioner, and (3) the judge who will be hearing your case.
Topics for discussion include basic procedures to be followed before, during and after the hearing, as well as any issues or concerns which have arisen or may arise in preparation for the hearing. No final decisions will be made during the prehearing conference. The parties may anticipate, however, that the hearing date will be scheduled during the prehearing conference, with an effort to accommodate the needs of both parties.
You may contact the Hearings Unit any time before your hearing to ask for additional prehearing conferences if you have additional questions or concerns to discuss with the judge. All parties must be present any time you meet with the judge, by telephone or otherwise.
The hearing
Similar to a trial in court, the hearing will include witnesses, exhibits and rules of evidence. The hearing will be conducted in a fairly formal manner; however, it will be as flexible as possible to accommodate the needs of the parties and any witnesses which may appear. The goal is for the judge to be presented with all pertinent information in order to make the best decision. The judge will answer any questions you may have during the hearing.
The hearing begins with each party presenting an opening statement summarizing what they intend to prove. Then each party presents its evidence which normally includes documents and testimony. All evidence must be determined to be reliable by the judge before it is admitted. Witnesses give their testimony under oath and are subject to cross-examination by the other party. The judge may also question a witness. You may be a witness for yourself, and in fact, sometimes the aggrieved party is his or her only witness.
The hearing concludes with each party presenting its closing arguments summarizing what they believe they have shown. Sometimes the judge will ask the parties to present closing arguments in writing after the hearing.
Final decision
A written decision is issued by the judge within 90 days of receiving all of the evidence and closing the hearing. The decision includes findings of fact, conclusions of law and a final order. The decision may be to (1) uphold the original act of the commissioner; (2) modify the action, e.g., impose a lesser penalty; or (3) set aside the original act of the commissioner; and in the case of an application which requires a hearing (4) approve or disapprove the application.
The decision of the judge is the final decision of the agency and is not subject to review by the insurance commissioner or any member of his staff. The final decision may be reviewed by the superior court if a party files a petition for review within 30 days of the mailing of the final decision.
Status of the commissioner's order or action
If a demand for hearing was filed with the Hearings Unit prior to the effective date of the commissioner's order or action, the order or action will be automatically stayed, that is, not go into effect pending the final outcome of the case. Discretionary stays may also be granted by the judge upon request, depending on the situation. When a stay is in place, you can continue to do business unless or until the judge orders otherwise.

What is Inflammation?
Inflammation is the process by which the body's immune system responds to injury, infection, irritants, damaged cells, burns and other harmful stimuli. It can occur on joints, the skin or in organs. Basically, the body's white blood cells and antibodies protect itself against foreign substances and also helps to begin healing and repairing the damage.
The body's white blood cells release chemicals into the blood or tissues which causes warmth and redness. Swelling occurs because the chemicals have leaked fluid into the tissues and the pain is caused by the inflammation stimulating the nerves. When you sprain your ankle, the injury causes pain and swelling The pain acts as a signal to inform you that your ankle was damaged while the swelling acts as protection to prevent you from moving it.

The staff supervises its canine charges 24 hours a day, even during overnight stays, and owners can take advantage of other services such as grooming and training sessions.
Fluff and Puff Dog Wash mirrors a human spa in that it strives to pamper, not merely clean, its clients. Groomers consult with owners before they brandish scissors, designing custom haircuts for each animal. Staff members also double as cleanup crews at self-service tubs. After owners bathe their dogs with specialized shampoos for puppies, parasite prevention, and dogs with dry skin, the cleaners sop up residual grime. When owners are too busy to clean their own pups, these crews intervene with pickup and drop-off services. During daycare visits, supervisors stand by as dogs cavort through an indoor playground, rescue children from local wells, or recline on couches in front of dog-oriented movies.
Glynis Dewing and her fellow caretakers at Lucky Pawz Pet Services look after clients' best nonhuman friends with services that include walking, in-home visits, pet-sitting, taxiing, and helping pets finish their first novels. Their quality of care has kept Lucky Pawz in good standing with Pet Sitters International.
Though online reviews for 3A Pet Sitting are still growing, four Yelpers award it a perfect five stars:
Combining personal training with play-care, The Grateful Dog caters to canines with an active and stimulating schedule plus a 1:6 handler-to-dog ratio. Over the course of each 12-hour play-care session, day-tripping doggies will enjoy two to three walks, including jaunts to breezy Fort Mason, as well as one-on-one time with a trainer and play time with a handler. The Grateful Dog also pampers pups with organic treats, filtered water, and mini massages before letting them loose to run in circles and bark at invisible aliens free of guilt or any sense of propriety.
With a 10,000 square foot roof deck, private suites, and indoor pools, Wag Hotels would be a swanky destination for any human. But as much as they might want to—and as much press as they might have read about the hotels—bipeds aren't welcome to spend the night at either of the hotel's locations. Instead, cats and dogs rule the roost at these luxury pet resorts.
Both locations are open 24/7 and offer more than 5,000 square feet of playrooms where pups romp around. Spacious boarding rooms with flat screen TVs await canines spending the night while two-level kitty condos—designed by feline specialists at UC Davis—keep cats entertained with built-in exotic fish tanks. And for top dogs, Wags offers Golden Gate and Presidio suites, both outfitted with raised Cal King beds and in-room aromatherapy dispensed by employees or a tower of devious cats wearing a trench coat to look like an employee. Animals can even indulge in the hotel's spa, which offers such grooming services as oatmeal shampoos and puppy pedicures.
To ensure each four-legged guest's visit is comfortable, Wag's team employs the Wag Care 360 approach. This approach includes sanitizing the facility regularly and allowing owners to check in on their pets via the hotel's web cams. Wag also provides dog training courses and pet CPR classes.

Surely, for completing all those sessions, and accumulations of mantras etc, a lot of time is necessary for months or years.
It depends on the possibilities and conditions of each individual.

Hi guys,
In a bit of a pickle here. I'm pretty new to the iPhone, and I got a new unit recently. I used the PwnageTool on my Mac to attempt to unlock the baseband.
I followed the steps as described.
1. Start iPhone in recovery mode
2. Run PwnageTool and Browse IPSW to "iPhone1,1_1.1.4_4A102_Restore.ipsw"
3. PwnageTool successfully loaded IPSW and text scrolling on console
4. Popup menu appear indicating that iPhone is being pwned, and scrolling text on iPhone
5. iPhone will restart and show the new connect to iTunes screen (or supposed to)
Problem happened at step 5 where the iPhone doesn't restart. It completely switched off and now I am unable to power it back on at all.
I waited for a couple of minutes to see if the restart will eventually happen but it didn't so I unplugged it from my MacBook USB port.
And now, even after I've unplugged it from my MacBook I am unable to switch on my iPhone at all. There's no display shown on the screen, and I've tried powering up in Recovery Mode, DFU Mode and nothing happens. Basically my iPhone is dead.
Anyone got any ideas on what I can do or what I did wrong? Really appreciate any help as its kinda demoralizing that my iPhone is dead even before I got to use it

The date of the 40th Vogalonga has been set for the day 8 June 2014
Registration is open
°°° °°° °°° °°° °°°
Vogalonga is an act of love for Venice and the water that surrounds it, for its lagoon and its islands, for rowing and its boats and maintained over time the purpose for which it is born: raise awareness and conscious respect for nature and the culture of our city .
The Vogalonga is a feast for all the people of the oar and is now, as at its birth, a peaceful witness against the swell, danger to the city and the lagoon.
The Vogalonga includes history of the place, tradition and the international dimension, uniting fans around the world who habitually frequents the lagoon and the lagoon belongs.
The Vogalonga is the result of the passion and tenacity of a group of Venetians who for over thirty years, non-commercial purposes, keep it alive thanks to the collaboration with the public and with all the realities of the world of rowing.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa says he is empathetic to Occupy LA protesters and urges them to take alternatives to protesting on the lawn of City Hall.
Update at 8:55a.m. ET: NBC affiliate KNBC reported that at least five protesters were arrested early Monday after the 12:01 a.m. deadline imposed by city officials for Occupy Los Angeles to leave its tent-city passed.
Police Commander Smith said the encampment would be allowed to stay put until at least daybreak, according to Reuters, but he said protesters who block traffic had to move or face arrest.
"We have no plan at this time to go into the park and evict people," Smith said. "That could change in the near future, but right now we are hoping to clear the streets, and that'll be the end and people can relax for a little while."
Officers set up a perimeter around 1st and Main Streets as they started clearing the streets of protesters.
"Monday is a big traffic day, and there are thousands and thousands of workers who are trying to get to their jobs down here, so we really need to have these streets open," said Smith.
Update at 8:40a.m. ET: Police arrested three people early Monday after ordering Occupy Los Angeles protesters to leave a downtown intersection hours after a deadline passed to vacate a City Hall park encampment.
Water bottles were thrown at officers as officers in riot gear started clearing 1st and Main streets just after 5 a.m. PT Monday, the Associated Press reported.
The police department has been on tactical alert, meaning the late night watch was held over, since midnight.
At 4:50 a.m., police on loudspeakers declared an unlawful assembly and protesters were told to get out of the street within five minutes.
Commanders corralled demonstrators back to the City Hall park, telling them they won't be arrested there.
Earlier, a celebratory atmosphere filled the night outside City Hall and the encampment near it: a group of protesters on bicycles circled the block, one of them in a cow suit, while organizers led chants with a bull horn.
"The best way to keep a non-violent movement non-violent is to throw a party, and keep it festive and atmospheric," said Brian Masterson.
Shortly after the 12:01 a.m. PT Monday deadline, there was only a small police presence, about two dozen motorcycle officers who remained across the street from the camp.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said earlier that the grounds would be closed after the deadline, while Police Chief Charlie Beck promised that arrests would eventually be made if protesters did not comply.
Villaraigosa said police and social workers will walk through the park handing out information on the closure and services available, and expressed hope it would happen in a "spirit of cooperation."
But many including the protest's chief organizers said they had no intention of cooperating, and only a handful of campers cleared out over the weekend.
Scott Shuster was one of those breaking down his camp, but he said it was only to protect his property and he planned to remain.
"I just don't want to lose my tent," he said.
Updated at 11:56 p.m. ET: Earlier, in Pennsylvania, a deadline set by the city for Occupy Philadelphia to leave the plaza it has occupied for some two months came and went without scuffles and arrests as police watched nearly 50 demonstrators lock arms and sit at the entrance of Dilworth Plaza.
The scene was far different from other, previous encampments in cities elsewhere where pepper spray, tear gas and police action resulted in the decampment of long-situated demonstrators, but Occupy Philadelphia has managed to avoid the mass arrests and conflict that has arisen at other sites nationwide.
Sunday night, there was hope that Philadelphia would continue to be largely violence-free.
"Right now, we have a peaceful demonstration," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Joe Sullivan, nearly 45 minutes after the 5 p.m. deadline. By 11 p.m., the crowd had thinned a bit, but the calm remained.
Along the steps leading into a plaza, about 50 people sat in lines with the promise that they would not leave unless they were carried out by authorities. For a time, they linked arms. But as it seemed that a forceful ouster was not imminent, they relaxed a bit. A police presence was heavier than usual but no orders to leave had been issued.
A few dozen tents remained scattered on the plaza, along with trash, piles of dirty blankets and numerous signs reading, "You can't evict an idea."
Several hundred supporters surrounded those who were prepared to face arrest for one of the Occupy movement meetings known as a general assembly.
"There are some shelters that some of us are going to go to, some of us are going to end up on the street, some of us are going to be able to find a family member to take us in and others might go to jail," a protester told NBC Philadelphia.
"We can definitely claim a victory," said Mike Yaroschuk, who was in the process of dismantling his tent. "We've opened a lot of minds, hearts and eyes."
Yaroschuk said he was leaving the plaza not because of the city-issued deadline but because of a request by unions whose workers will be involved in the long-planned construction project there in the coming weeks. He said it made more sense to pick and choose when it comes to Occupy and its efforts to draw attention to the 99 percent.
"This place is not a key battle for me ... This is a marathon, not a sprint," he said.
Diane Ackerman, a member of the group's legal collective, said the movement itself will remain strong regardless of what happens. Occupy Philadelphia has been largely peaceful since it began. Despite a few dozen arrests, there have been no violent confrontations with police.
Philadelphia's eviction notice is unique in that protesters are being asked to move to make way for a construction project.

New 3D TV From TCL
By Mendelson Tiu | Friday | 08/01/2010
Besides big companies like Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, and LG, Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer TCL has also unveiled its new line of TVs that includes a 240Hz 3D TV at CES 2010.
"The time is now for TCL to start marketing and selling its products under its own brand, around the world to completely transit from 'Made in China' to 'Created in China' and promote Chinese brands on global basis," says Yu.
"After 10 years' globalization, TCL has formed an extensive global business network. We have integrated our industrial chain, strengthened innovation and increased our competitiveness in the global marketplace. The TCL brand and other brands that TCL owns will benefit from the economic recovery in Europe, North America and emerging markets which are expected to improve in 2010," added Yu.
The company is currently displaying a 3D TV wall for commercial use that enables the audience to watch 3D programs without wearing 3D glasses. A 240Hz 3D TV for home entertainment is also shown at CES.
Also launched during CES is an RGB-LED LCD TV with dynamic backlight control technology, six series of LCD TV (including Internet TV), TCL and ALCATEL cell phones and TCL home entertainment and information center.
Working with Intel, TCL also developed a set-top box UB10, an innovative MiTV IP STB product, which, by supporting DLNA and IGRS protocol, receives digital TV signals and supports such Internet functions as online upgrade, playback, download and webpage browsing.
TCL Communication also brought its new ALCATEL and TCL cell phone products to the event. The new ALCATEL cell phones include OT-305A GPRS video cell phone, OT-800A and OT-808A full keypad cell phone and OT-708A touch screen cell phone, which enable users to create personalized operation menus freely with simple drag-and-drop operations.

"And then I never saw him again": this phrase recurs with eerie frequency in the work of the Chilean-born writer Roberto Bolaño, who died four years ago, in Barcelona, at the age of fifty. In Bolaño's ten novels and three story collections—all completed in his torrential final decade, before he succumbed to a chronic liver ailment that he suspected would seal his fate—characters go through life in a state of agitated migration. They sever friendships, quit jobs, abandon apartments without giving notice, skip the return flight home, assume new identities, flee combustive love affairs, cut off ties to everyone they have ever known, head off into the desert, simply disappear. Relationships, in Bolaño's world, tend to be febrile but fleeting, yielding memories suffused by the afterglow of emotion; his narratives are often the testimonies of people the wanderers leave behind. It's no coincidence that Bolaño's most heartbreaking creation—the rebellious, doomed poet at the heart of his 1998 masterwork, "The Savage Detectives," which Farrar, Straus has just published in translation—is named Ulises.
Bolaño, who was born in Santiago in 1953 ("the year that Stalin and Dylan Thomas died," as he noted in an essay), led a life that was itself marked by uprootedness. His father's job was to roam: he was a truck driver. His mother was a teacher. When Bolaño was a child, he and his family shuttled between towns in Chile, and then, in 1968, they moved to Mexico City. Bolaño found the dislocation exhilarating: his new home, he later recalled, was "a vast, almost imaginary place where freedom and metamorphosis were a daily spectacle." By this time, he had developed an appetite for literature so ravenous that it practically outstripped that of his idol, the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. Like Borges, Bolaño consumed everything from arcane poetry to dime-store fiction. Unlike Borges, he stole most of his books.
Bolaño, who was dyslexic, didn't enjoy the classroom, and he dropped out of high school, devoting himself to poetry. During the late sixties, mass demonstrations erupted frequently on Mexico City's streets, and Bolaño revelled in the political ferment. He became a Trotskyist and travelled to El Salvador, where he befriended leftist poets who carried guns alongside their notebooks.
In the summer of 1973, he went back to Santiago, hoping to join a leftist revolution that had taken hold in Chile, with the election of a Socialist government. That September, Augusto Pinochet launched his coup. Bolaño became a spy for the resistance. He was a feeble conspirator—charged with transmitting messages between dissidents, he felt pathetically conspicuous as he bicycled along Santiago's emptied-out streets—but the experience thrilled him. "I recall the days after the coup as rich ones, full of energy, full of eroticism, days and nights in which anything could happen," he once wrote. (Photographs of him from this period show a handsome but malnourished-looking hippie: his wavy black hair was untended, and his delicate eyes were not yet dominated by the ovoid glasses that he adopted in middle age.)
Soon after the coup, Bolaño was stopped at a highway checkpoint. His accent had mutated during his years abroad, and the police booked him as a "foreign terrorist." Bolaño was detained for eight days, and perhaps would have been killed—Pinochet's regime murdered many dissident writers—were it not for a bizarre reversal of the kind that animates his fiction. One day, a prison guard walked up to Bolaño and said, "Don't you remember me? I'm your buddy." The two men had briefly attended high school together; Bolaño was promptly released. After four more months in Chile—a whirl of "black humor, friendship…and the danger of death"—Bolaño realized that he had written only one poem, and that it wasn't any good.
He returned to Mexico City in 1974. At a café on Calle Bucareli—Mexico City's Left Bank—Bolaño met Mario Santiago, a defiant, acidly intelligent poet of Indian extraction. The two men, along with a dozen or so friends, formed a band of literary guerrillas, whom Bolaño christened the infrarealistas. The group's aesthetic, Bolaño later said, was French Surrealism fused with "Dadaism, Mexican style." They published iconoclastic magazines and engaged in myriad forms of provocation, such as shouting out their own poems at readings given by their "enemies" in Latin America's cultural establishment—in particular, Octavio Paz, the poet who eventually became Mexico's first Nobel Laureate. Another prominent Mexican writer, Carmen Boullosa, has spoken of her "fear," before approaching a lectern, that infrarealistas might be lurking in the audience: "They were the terror of the literary world."
Bolaño's fury toward the literary mainstream—deeply felt and bordering on puerile—endured even after his own work became canonical. (At a convocation of writers in Seville, Spain, six weeks before Bolaño died, he was declared to be the most influential Latin-American writer of his generation.) Bolaño is notorious in Spanish-speaking countries for having proclaimed that magic realism "stinks." He derided Gabriel García Márquez as "a man terribly pleased to have hobnobbed with so many Presidents and Archbishops"; he called Isabel Allende a "scribbler" whose "attempts at literature range from kitsch to the pathetic." (Allende, interviewed in 2003, dismissed Bolaño as an "extremely unpleasant" man, adding, "Death does not make you a nicer person.") Bolaño's obstreperousness was sometimes a pose—much like his preference for being photographed in a black leather jacket, sternly sucking on a cigarette—but his self-described "gratuitous attacks" had salutary effects. He helped liberate Latin-American writing from the debased imitations of magic realism that followed the global conquest of García Márquez's 1967 novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude"—all those clairvoyant señoritas and intercourse-inspiring moles—and reëstablished the primacy of such cosmopolitan experimentalists as Borges and Julio Cortázar. (For Bolaño, Cortázar's moody novel "Hopscotch" was the Beginning and the End, precisely because it has neither a beginning nor an end.) Of course, some calculation lay behind his position. There was one living Latin-American novelist whose avid bookishness and formal cleverness made him the obvious heir to the modernist tradition: Roberto Bolaño.

I'm very disappointed that Victoria Moors was not included in this poll
I'm very disappointed that Victoria Moors was not included in this poll
^^^ My prediction is that the USA, Russia and Romania will win two golds apiece. USA will get vault and TF or AA, Russia gets bars and TF or AA and Romania gets BB and FX. Poor china will get no higher than silver. :p
Ponor I think and I love her will need to rely on mistakes on others. I don't really see the issue with Ponor on Beam. She isn't doing a bunch of twists except for maybe the dismount. And unlike the majority of gymnasts she seems unafraid of the beam. And that has to count for something when half the other ladies look scared of the beam. She has high difficulty that only a few gymnasts can better and there may be some deductions but nothing like she can expect on floor.
Though Ponor for all that is great about her isn't 16 anymore. She's proved to be vulnerable herself. We saw it in Tokyo and we saw it at Euros too. If she makes beam final I think she may want it so bad that she makes mistakes. And of the finalists shes one that can't afford too many of them.
The reason I rated Iordache and Ponor 1-2 is that what we've seen this year. Those two have been the best. Lui looks incredibly fragile. Komova looks fragile. Mustafina doesn't seem to have the difficulty. Jinnan has been injured. Grishina is a headcase. The Americans haven't scored that well on beam and I think it could be their weakest event at the Olympics. There is Mitchell, but I'm putting her at the back of my mind for now.
Anyway this is actually about the floor title and I've been speaking about beam. I'd love Izbasa to make the final, I'd like Ponor to make the final too. But Iordache and Izbasa seem a much surer bet. Ponor has lower difficulty and lower execution scores. Izbasa can medal but she hasn't been training floor that often.
I really worry with gymnasts like Komova, Mustafina and Izbasa. They're all capable of doing well but they've had so few competitions this year. They may have the technical ability but they haven't really performed in competitions. It is a lot to ask for them to deliver come Olympics.
Izbasa's third pass is fug! Yuck!
Aly may have form issues in her dance elements, but her tumbling is so gorgeous and effortless looking.
Oh and here's her best version where she won NCAAs in 2010
Iordache and Izbasa have been winning me over all year though, amazed at the progress the team has made and def think they can win a boatload of medals.
I'm really expecting amazing things from Komova though, I was getting a big feeling for Nastia all of 2008 and this year and seeing how she's been paced I think Komova will be the one to beat.

Elite SEAL Team Six seeks $11 million for a new fitness center
The elite Navy SEAL team that killed Osama Bin Laden and inspired Hollywood wants an extra $11.1 million for a "Human Performance Center."
The request is among $400 million in unfunded priorities that the U.S. Special Operations Command submitted to Congress on April 1 as part of a $36 billion wish list from the military services and combat commands.
Are Americans smart to stop drinking diet sodas?
Recent data from Beverage Digest suggest many are cutting back on diet sodas. Consumption of diet sodas fell more than that of sugary sodas in 2013. This raises two questions: Why is total consumption declining, and is drinking diet soda harmful to health?
Travelers fly on Air Twitter
The enlightened age of social media has dawned over the airline industry, casting shadows over telephone call centers and on-site agents. Facebook and Twitter are racking up the friends and followers while the hold music plays on.
VIDEO: Amazing dance moves at NCAA title game
Eye-catching action wasn't confined to the court at AT&T Stadium Monday night during the NCAA Championship game between UConn and Kentucky. This pair -- apparently a father and son -- delighted the crowd during a timeout with some synchronized dance moves.
VIDEO: White House may ban selfies
The White House wasn't too pleased after Red Sox player David Ortiz snapped a selfie with President Obama that was later used promotionally by Samsung.
At many leading schools, football fails to make cut
To my astonishment, 67 of the top 100 schools, ranked by participation in college-level tests, said they do not field a team, denoting a shift in American high school culture, at least in those schools that challenge their students most.
A man with amnesia taught us how memories become personal
Although not as celebrated as the late American amnesiac H.M., for my money K.C. taught us more important and poignant things about how memory works. He showed how we make memories personal and personally meaningful. He also had a heck of a life story.
Why Starbucks won't recycle your paper coffee cup
When you drop that used white paper cup into the bin next to the door at a Starbucks, have you done your part to save the planet? Starbucks has long hoped that you would think so. After all, there's no better way to attract an affluent, eco-conscious clientele than to convince customers that your disposable product is "renewable."
3 apps to make your flight easier
Whether you fly once a week for work or once a year for a vacation, you can bet that all areas of your trip are being monitored by smart phones. While it isn't hard to find an app with your flight info, some apps make the process of flying a lot simpler.
Don't blame voters for low turnout
Suppose nobody votes this year. On Nov. 4 the doors to the polling places are thrown open, and there isn't anyone in line. No absentee ballots are filed. No one litigates, charging either fraud or discrimination, because there weren't any voters.
It won't happen. But if it did, pundits and activists would surely blame public apathy for such a catastrophe. I'd name a different culprit: the major parties, their candidates and their acolytes in the news media.
