There are dozens of reasons why football around this area on Friday nights gets our juices flowing, but here are some of the things we're looking most forward to during the 2012 high school football season:
There are dozens of reasons why football around this area on Friday nights gets our juices flowing, but here are some of the things we're looking most forward to during the 2012 high school football season:
This list must begin with Lincoln High senior running back Justin Davis. The USC-commit is coming off a 2,380-yard junior campaign and we can't wait for the encore. Davis provides a thrill nearly every carry as he can run it between the tackles and has breakaway speed. Lincoln has an intriguing backfield with senior quarterback Zack Greenlee coming off a stint on an ESPN reality show for high school signal-callers. Davis and Greenlee leading the way, Lincoln is expected to run through the San Joaquin Athletic Association and make a deep playoff run.
The area is filled with standout running backs with two hoping to deliver on the promise they showed in injury-shortened 2011 seasons. Sierra's senior Anthony Cota, averaged more than 100 yards in his first four games last season before a broken arm ended his season, and coach Jeff Harbison is hoping he can carry them into the playoffs out of the Valley Oak League this season. Coach Mark Miller has similar plans in Linden as he will welcome back senior Andrew Lewis, who had 1,001 yards and 12 touchdowns in seven games last season before tearing his right meniscus and posterior cruciate ligaments.
Two area quarterbacks that will have all eyes on them are Chavez senior Marcus Sanders and St. Mary's junior Kaleb Parrish. Sanders is a third-year starter and will look to Titans to their first postseason with his arm and legs (1,538 total yards, 17 total touchdowns). Parrish will take over the vaunted Rams passing attack after starting five games last season as a sophomore.
One dynamic playmaker we're hoping sees more touches this season is McNair wide receiver Immanuel Valdivia. The senior made 18 catches for 470 yards and six touchdowns last season and will a new quarterback this season, Cedric Phillips.
One early-season game we know will be old school is Escalon is visiting Linden on Sept. 7. Miller is now in his 25th season as Linden's head coach, while Mark Loureiro is beginning his 23rd campaign this fall after losing 20-17 to Hilmar in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV championship game last December. The Cougars' rematch with the Yellowjackets is scheduled for Escalon on Oct. 19.
St. Mary's will have two tough road tests when it visits Modesto-Central Catholic on Sept. 7 and Concord-De La Salle the following week. By the time SJAA play arrives in October everyone will have a better understanding of how good the Trojans can be this season. Lincoln will play other Sac-Joaquin powers Elk Grove tonight, Elk Grove-Pleasant Grove next week and at Granite Bay on Sept. 28.
Week 5 will be loaded with games that shouldn't be missed as it's Rivalry Week. St. Mary's-Lincoln, Tracy-West and Lodi-Tokay will all try to earn bragging rights that will last 12 months.
These August and September games are exciting, but they are in essence an appetizer to the main course that begins in October.
Can anyone challenge Lincoln in the SJAA or St. Mary's in the TCAL?
Can Manteca, Sonora, Sierra or Weston Ranch unseat Oakdale in the VOL after the Mustangs have claimed eight of the past 10 championships? Will Linden, Calaveras or Bret Harte pose a threat to Argonaut in the MLL? Can Millennium repeat in the CCAA or will Brookside Christian or Elliot Christian pose a threat? Who will emerge from the Escalon-Hilmar rumble in the TVL?
All of these questions will be answered and we can't wait.
While traditional powers will garner most of the headlines and victories, we love watching the underdog prevail and make a Cinderella run to the postseason. With Sanders under center, Chavez is hoping to make the playoffs for the first time. Tracy could also be in line to bounce back in the SJAA after a few tough seasons under Matt Shrout, including a 3-7 finish last year. Kimball has 15 starters back and coach Steve Anastasio is hoping his program's third varsity season will be a charmed one in the VOL as they try to move past the Manteca schools and into contention.

After a couple of bad hypo's at the end of last week, I got asked today at work what it feels like to be low.
Hmmm where to start?!
To a member of the public it probably looks as though you're drunk or stoned, which isn't helpful when you're feeling like you're about to keel over!
I normally say that I feel very spaced out, as if I've been set to slow-motion and everything around me is too. My head feels heavy, as if it were full of cement and it's hard to hold your head up when you get really low. You end up sweating as though you'd just sprinted for miles and miles, and you're shaking/twitching too.
Auto-pilot switches on sometimes too and the urge to eat everything you can lay your hands on can be hard to fight. It's not until you start coming back into range that common sense kicks in and you realise what you've eaten! You then have to check to make sure you don't rebound and go hyper instead. All whilst probably having a massive headache from being low (hypo hangover as some call it!).
Being alone whilst hypo is what I find most difficult. No-one to hold on to whilst your shaking and feeling a million miles away in hypo land and no-one to distract you from eating the entire contents of the cupboard. It takes a while for your body to recover and feels so much longer than it actually is, so someone hugging you and telling you it'll be okay is bliss.

Time for some Insulin? Timesulin!
Late last year I read about a new Diabetes product aimed at people on MDI called Timesulin. This has recently gone on sale to the public and thanks to the lovely Susan Moolan, I've been able to try out two caps. One for my NovoRapid and the other for my Lantus Solostar.
Timesulin is a replacement pen-cap, suited to a number of various pens, to record when you last did your injection. After 8 seconds of removing the cap to complete your next injection, the timer resets and will only start again when you clip your pen back on. You can then keep an eye on when you last injected and the 8 seconds also gives you time to check how much insulin is left in your pen.
I've only used these caps for a couple of weeks now but they have already helped immensley and it feels like I've had them for much longer!
They are so simple to use, just swap them for your normal pen cap and the timer begins straight away. You don't have lots of buttons to press or menu's to scroll through, just the hours/minutes/seconds since your last injection.
Diabetes to me is incredibly unpredictable, the slightest thing can send you riding on the glucoaster which can be incredibly exhausting and draining. Family and friends support during these times is brilliant, but they won't always be there to answer the 'Did I already do my jab?' question.
The feeling of not knowing what to do in that situation is horrible. Do you risk not injecting and going hyper? Or do you inject again just to be on the safe side and risk double-dosing which could result in low blood sugars or hospital visit!
The one thing that would make Timesulin even better, for me personally, would be to have a record of the dose as well as the time. That would be sooo helpful especially during those busy running round like a blue-arsed fly days!
If you'd like further information please visit http://timesulin.com/ or contact Susan on Twitter @susanmoolman

DSMA Feb Blog Carnival - Far From A Winter Wonderland
It can be at it's worst in Winter, when for some people D teams up with Depression. Unfortunately the two are commonly linked, and little things adding up can soon snowball into a full burnout. Little things like:
New Year
Snow / Ice
Relatives coming over
Party planning
Last years resolutions
Low blood sugars from cold weather
High blood sugars from overeating and/or stress
Unexplained highs/lows
Over excited children
And many many more!
If I ever feel like I'm getting a bit down and want to try and stop it before it takes hold, I go to my family/friends and loved ones. They will always distract me and make me smile :)
Do something creative!
Create some D-art for this years Diabetes Art day, or make a few postcards for the D-Postcard Exchange. You could even create yourself a Diabotic! I started knitting before Xmas (yes I'm god awful slow at it - but apparently quite neat) and find it's a brilliant distraction when I need it.
Don't bottle things up!
Have a good old vent to your family/friends or the DOC! They will always be there to offer support and advice at any time day or night. Bottling things up in my experience never helps, it's always an 'Ahhhh' moment when you let it go :)
Meet other PWD
D-meets are amazing and never fail to cheer you up! The people are incredible, have an amazing sense of humour about their D, and know exactly what you're going through and how you're feeling. There's nothing like seeing a group of PWD testing before lunch, it's brill!
This post is my February entry in the DSMA Blog Carnival. If you'd like to participate too, you can get all of the information at http://diabetessocmed.com/2012/february-dsma-blog-carnival/

This month's RIBA Journal contains a more than usually interesting article. The magazine has questioned 127 architects on their use of innovative materials, and more than half of them have denied using any new materials at all. Without going too deeply into the reasons given - high cost, insurance problems, failures, lack of technical back-up - all of which are undoubtedly sound, it is nonetheless an astonishing result.
Either the grass roots of the profession turned its back on technology long ago, or the term 'new materials' has been widely misunderstood: especially by conservationists who can hardly deny that they use an array of laboratory products that would do a plastic surgeon proud. The whole thing reminds me of the time I interviewed Quinlan Terry many years ago and he said that Fosters' Renault distribution centre in Swindon would have been better with a good solid slate roof on it.
The thing is that 'new materials' is a surprisingly elastic sort of term. In one sense it obviously does mean membrane roofs, titanium cladding, PTFE, ETFE, translucent glass fibre and other rocket science, but it also includes substances that are part of chemical compounds including paints, many types of adhesives, or finished assemblies such as window and door systems, fasteners, moisture barriers and other items.
Nor are these the true limits of the term. It could also include the sort of materials that might have to be used to build with if we ever got serious about solving the waste problem.
This is a difficult one. None of us wants to hear another lecture about how every day we throw away enough rubbish to fill the Albert Hall, but it is true. Just as it is true that the government is building another 70 waste incinerators around the country. Surely there must be a way to connect 'new materials' to things we throw away that would not be entirely unmeritorious.
For some years the illogicality of crushing glass bottles before trucking the bits to landfill sites has offended environmentalists of a sensitive disposition - why not truck them straight to building sites unbroken to use as bricks? Glass bottles are certainly strong enough to build with.
In any case, that little offence against nature has now been joined by bigger ones - the great refrigerator mountain, the dumped TV jungle, and the discarded tyre swamp. Of course, a great deal of rubbish is toxic, dispersed, impossibly uneconomic to sort and suitable only for compaction or incineration; but a lot is composed of steel, aluminium, plastic, glass, wood products and other high-quality materials.
Stuff that in any other context would be recognised as having potential in the construction process. Right now would be an arresting time to start building out of refrigerators.
The expansion of the category 'new materials' to include new uses for waste would also greatly expand the range of possibilities for sustainable development.
After all, it has been done before by indigenous populations - nothing could be more difficult than turning trees into houses - and by Hippies in the 1960s, constructing the oncefamous Drop City geodesic domes in Colorado, made from the roofs of abandoned cars.
Of course, it is not really as simple as this. For a start, it would take a newer, more forensic approach to design to give waste materials sufficient value, and a vast arcane knowledge of alloys, synthetics, composites and their production processes to make sense out of what could probably only end up as a tuft of insulant or a minor piece of cladding.
How seriously 127 architects would view this prospect rather depends on how seriously they take the prospect of the huge amount of waste heading our way.

New Chapel Completed - 1914
The current building in Station Road was completed just before the start of World War one. Foundation stones in the East wall nearest the road are dated 4th October 1913. Deeds for the previous Birmingham Road chapel state that this was the old chapel on a deed dated 18th December 1914. The new chapel was opened on 7th February 1914 and is commemorated by the big church bible which is still present in the church.
The 1930's
Interior view of an unknown date, showing little change to the present day in the fabric of the church. The organ has been moved 90 degrees and the light fittings changed. Some of the chairs shown here are still in use in the adjacent school room. Could it be that the vase on the altar is the 1928 dated one for Whitacre Wesleyan Chapel; still in use today?
1990's - Replacing the fabric
By the early nineties much of the original church fabric was approaching the end of its life cycle. Window and the roof replacement were rapidly becoming the most urgent. The roof was replaced circa 1991 and this removed the central small ventilation shaft that used to previously grace the main church and gave the church a more clean look shown here. Next a new heating system then windows were replaced and were upgraded to double glazed units. The original patterns were replicated in the new glass work.

New Rules: September 27, 2013/
Every week, Bill lays down his own laws. Here is the latest set of New Rules from the last episode:
New Rule: Stop asking how Ted Cruz managed to speak on the Senate floor for 21 hours without taking a bathroom break. It's obvious. Who needs a bathroom when you've got that much crap coming out of your mouth.
New Rule: If turkey gravy is made out of turkey, and beef gravy is made out of beef, please never tell me what's in gravy made from "Country." [slide of "Country Gravy"] I'm already not eating it, and I'm already assuming it came out of Hank Williams, Jr.
New Rule: Women have to explain why their phone is always "about to die." Why? It's an iPhone, not Dick Cheney. They're wounded.
New Rule: Whatever this is supposed to be...[slide of vase filled with sticks]...stop doing it. Whatever interior designer first thought: "You know what this room needs? A bunch of sticks stuck in a bucket" -- really needs to have one of them placed up his a**.
This doesn't make people think you're hip. It looks like you're having ninjas over for lunch.
New Rule: Since binge-watching is in, and filibusters are in, John Boehner must make a series for Netflix in which he replaces Obama. And, of course, it's called "Orange is the New Black."
And, finally, New Rule: Conservatives who love to brag about American exceptionalism must come here to California and see it in person. And then they should be afraid. Because, while right-wingers are taking over places like North Carolina and Texas, and even Wisconsin, California is creating the kind of modern, liberal nation the country as a whole can only dream about.
And, not only can't the rest of the country stop us, we're going to drag you with us.
Now, it wasn't that long ago that pundits were calling California a failed state, and saying it was ungovernable. But, in 2010, when other states were busy electing whatever Tea Partier claimed to hate government the most, we elected a guy who actually liked it: Jerry Brown. And, without a Republican governor, and without a legislature c*ck-blocked by Republicans -- a $27 billion deficit was turned into a surplus.
How? Well, it's amazing, really. We did something economists call "cutting spending and raising taxes." I know it sounds like sounds like crazy science fiction. But, you see, here in California, we're not just gluten-free and soy-free and peanut-free. We're Tea Party free.
Yes, we can live in reality. I mean, Texas could do it, too. But, they love freedom too much. Like, when that unregulated fertilizer plant blew up.
In California, when things blow up, it's because we're making a Jason Statham movie.
No, California is not perfect, but it is in our nature to try new things. For example, now that it's clear Obamacare is going to be a success here, the movement to just go all the way to single-payer is gathering steam.
In lots of areas, California has decided not to wait around for the "caboose" part of America -- to get on board. Yokels can mock European-style democracies all they want. We're building one here.
Gay marriage, pot smoking, regulating carbon. And, people like it. The same way when Americans come back from a vacation in Europe, they all say the same thing: "I saw titties on the beach!"
But...they also remark on the modern airports and train stations over there, and the absence of beggars in the street, and food that tastes like FOOD!
And they wonder, why can't we get that here? Well, you will be getting that here, courtesy of the Golden State. Why? Because we're HUGE! We're HUGE!!
Forty million of us! When we demand something, the market must supply it. Like, when California set a high mileage standard for cars sold in this state, Detroit had to make more efficient cars.
California, by itself, is the eighth largest economy in the world, the fifth largest agricultural exporter. And, of course, number one in laser vaginal rejuvenation. Oh, I pat myself on the back.
You know, it's so ironic. The two things conservatives love the most -- the free market and states' rights -- are the two things that are going to bend this country into California's image as a "socialist f*g-topia."
Maybe our constipated Congress in Washington can't pass gun control laws, but we just did. Because we don't give a sh*t about the NRA. Out here, that stands for "Nuts, Racists and A**holes!"
And, while other state governments are working with Jesus to make abortion more miserable -- because otherwise women would just use it for weight loss...California is making it easier.
And, while immigrants are demonized in Washington and elsewhere, in California, we just okayed driver's licenses for undocumented aliens. That's right. We're letting them drive cars...JUST LIKE WHITE PEOPLE!
Because we can't be worrying about all the nonsense that keeps Fox News viewers up at night...when they should be in bed adjusting their sleep-apnea masks.
So, in conclusion, my message to the rest of America is just this: Do not resist!! Kneel before Zod!! California has been setting the trend in America for decades, and it's not going to stop now.
We say, "Jump!" You say, "Please, sell me new exercise clothes for jumping!"
We said, "Put cilantro in food," and damn it, you did! You put cilantro in food, even though neither one of us knows what it is!
And, almond milk?! Come on. We just had some extra almonds and thought we'd f*ck with you.


text: The Art Garage Project September 9, 2010 In Green Bay, WI there is a very cool art gallery/coop and I receive their weekly e-mails. They are having a "Art Meets Heart Mosoaic Project" in which up to 300 artists can receive a 6 x 6 canvas to do what ever they want on the front of the canvas. The mini canvases are then put together in one picture and displayed at the gallery. Each piece will be auctioned off in February 2011. They chose the heart theme to go with heart health month and Valentines Day and I chose a heart theme in the silhouette of the women's hair and her heart-shaped face. I painted the canvas black then glued paper neck and face pieces to the canvas and fused a piece of fabric for the hair and lips. I drew the facial feature details with Sharpie pens, colored pencils and Smooch paint on the eyelids. I can't go without glitter so the hair has two types of glitter nail polish, and the lips have a pink nail polish and the dots above the eyebrows are glitter glue and loose glitter. I finished with white paint on the eyes and highlights to the face. I was nervous to make a mistake-if I am sewing and make a mistake I get out my seam ripper or just cut another piece of fabric. Am I a mixed media artist now??

Jo Gallagher lives in the small King Country settlement of Piopio. The region's landscapes, plants and birds and people provide inspiration for her work.
My painting over the past ten years has covered many aspects of my surroundings, for example the local landscape, plants and birds, animals, farm activities. More recently however I have begun to add another layer of interest into my compositions – that of humour! Just as I believe the need to be receptive to change, the time feels right to consider how additional layers of meaning can add visual depth and awareness and move my practice ahead. The characters I feel best able to represent, the fun there is to be had with language, symbolism and entrenched beliefs are all present in my most recent body of painting.

Team bidvoy has grown
In the apparently quiet year 2014 a lot of intern work has been done at bidvoy. Currently a huge remake of bidvoy is underway, which will be presented to public in 2015. In this context, our team has grown. Jan Richter joins bidvoy and we are really looking forward to working together. Let him tell you himself just what he is planning.
Jan Richter: "After the completion of the beta phase in 2012, bidvoy attained a massive boost in users, followers and supporters. The excellent success of this unique app is great testimony to the developers and their never ending desire to perfect the app down to the very last detail. From a certain point onwards, however, an app quite simply needs more: more power, more usability, more control, more stability. Repeat users have expectations, desires and perceptions based on the apps they use frequently and everyone has their own individual way of using an app. That's a real challenge.
When I founded my advertising and design agency in 2011, this was out of necessity. At the end of the financial year 2010, my one-man company could no longer cope with the demand it was facing. I needed personnel and partners to continue to serve my loyal customers and to be able to offer my improved services to an even larger public. I founded The Stupid And The Simple and within 3 years the company was a sure-fire success with nationwide clients and international partners.
When I joined bidvoy as Creative Director, a post which had so far not been filled, it was clear to me that the company's situation had parallels with my own. I was therefore given the task of establishing bidvoy just as I did for TSATS and working in the background on transforming its core to create the optimal tool for daily use. And this all had to be done while retaining the regular users and early adopters who after all made bidvoy what it is today.
The goal is to optimise the app enabling it to offer even more and making it even easier to use. The team is confident it can produce an outstanding design and a brand that users will love.
In future, bidvoy wants to be your constant companion and helping hand when you need to pinpoint a fair price for branded products when trading with your friends, on the internet or in shops. That is a pretty hefty task – let's rise to the challenge."
We – the whole team of bidvoy – wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2015. Here is our christmas present for you: An exclusive sneak peak of our revised site:
Let us know what you would like to see in bidvoy in future. Join us on our journey and let us know your expectations, preferences and ideas.
We look forward to having you on board.

One of the endearing hallmarks of Portugal's streets is their decorated pavements. Limestone is hewn into tiny blocks creating beautiful patterned compositions, traditional and modern designs, street numbers, and business logos.
Other designs show armillary spheres, caravels and vessels, crosses, stars, and animals. It all started in 1849 after the completion of the wave design known as "the wide sea" in Lisbon's Rossio Square By the end of that year, the pavements of the Chiado district and Avenida da Liberdade were also completed. Eventually most of Lisbon's streets were paved this way, and it spread throughout the country. These pavement designs are also seen in Portugal's former colonies, with the "wide sea" design seen in Rio de Janeiro's famous beaches, and even in one of Macau's main squares.
The artform was also used in New York's Central Park'stribute to John Lennon, and in the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in New Jersey. Modern examples can be seen in Lisbon's Parque das Nações, with images of "sea monsters" and more wave designs. Today the "Portuguese pavements" are still made by hand, and are part of the country's heritage and identity, continuing to decorate the streets and squares all over Portugal.

Happy Monday, Hackers!
Today I want to tell you about a wonderful place you should all visit: 42 Nerdtastic Place.
Last month, I was working at a convention out in Schaumburg, IL for the television show, Gotham. It was a small show, it only had a few vendors but there was a new booth that I hadn't seen before. I was intrigued. A friend of mine and I went over to check it out on Friday night during pre-registration and the young woman I spoke to was an absolute delight. She told me all about her products and that they are all handmade. I told her about my quest to become truly cruelty-free in my product usage and asked about that. She said that not only are her products cruelty-free, they are 100% vegan. What caught my eye was the comprehensive selection of lip balms she had out (and it wasn't even all that she offers). I had found out that the balm/chapstick I had been using most of my adult life wasn't something I was comfortable using anymore (short version: the company itself is cruelty-free but the parent company is not). So I had been looking for a balm to replace it and was finding it difficult. You don't want to spend money on something like that only to discover you hate it and you have this whole tube of it you won't use. So a lot of the online options I was finding, I was hesitant to purchase. But here, I had testers.
Long story slightly less long, I fell in LOVE with these balms. It was like smoothing silk onto my lips and the scents were unique but still heavenly-scented. The best part was that they are GEEKY. This woman taylors her recipes and products to a myriad of fandoms.
I walked away from that convention with four new lip balms (two of which were Gotham-themed).
Now, I want to share this fabulous person and her equally fabulous products with you all!
Amanda Mayer launched 42 Nerdtastic Place on Etsy in 2014, starting out with fandom-themed jewelry and coasters. But Amanda's crafty mind didn't just stop there. She branched out, wanting to provide a plethora of items for shoppers. She started making other items, like scented candles and melting waxes, lip balms, room sprays, etc in addition to original items like necklaces, bracelets, and bag clips. Her site's About page states that they "wanted the feel to be of a place you would go to when shopping for your Hogwarts school list or a place you might go to cozy up to fellow enthusiasts." Amanda and her crack team have accomplished this goal resoundingly!
42 Nerdtastic Place sells both online and maintains a presence at local fan conventions so you have different ways to purchase products. They are also always expanding. The Gotham blends, for example, were created specifically for the Gotham convention (though Amanda had been asked by shoppers in the past). And it doesn't just stop with television and movie fandoms. There are products that feature animation (both American and Japanese), fantasy creatures, literature, even musicals (I personally need to try the Forgotten Spot in the Caribbean – Hamilton body spray).
42 Nerdtastic Place offers the following items: Bag clips, bracelets, necklaces, Hogwarts House combs, air fresheners, candles, hair care & grooming products (like Asgards's Finest Beard Oil…You too can have the beard of a god!), lip balms and lip sheers, perfumes, and wax melts. They also have some lovely gift sets and they offer samples (not something you come across for online stores much, in my limited experience).
Amanda has also generously provided all our Craft Hacker readers a discount code for 15% off any regular priced items. Simply input code CRAFTHACKER15 to receive 15% off any of their regular priced items!
Hope you all enjoy as much as I do, Hackers! Be beautiful to each other.

Scientists Aim To Sync Up Proliferating Brain Maps. Study Finds Nearly All Scientific Papers Controlled By Six Corporations. When children grow up dreaming of becoming scientists they have the purest of aspirations and if they were left to pursue their own studies they would be able to accomplish the unimaginable.
Unfortunately, to become a member of the scientific community one has to jump through many bureaucratic hoops until they are eventually inducted into an establishment which is tightly regulated and directed by warmongers and control freak aristocrats. People spend half of their lives taking classes, passing tests and filling out applications in hopes that one day they can become a scientist and cure a disease. After years of struggling to make the cut they realize that there is no funding for their charitable projects and if they dare step outside of the established guidelines they will be exiled from the scientific community.
"Overall, the major publishers control more than half of the market of scientific papers both in the natural and medical sciences and in the social sciences and humanities.

Bitcoin tumbled below US$8,500 as a miserable 2018 continued for cryptocurrencies, with investors confronting a mounting list of concerns about the future of the industry.
The largest digital currency dropped about 10 per cent to US$8,145 at 11:02 a.m. in London, the lowest since Nov. 21, according to consolidated Bloomberg pricing. Rival coins Ripple, Ether and Litecoin tumbled at least 16 per cent as losses continued to spread across cryptocurrencies.
Price action suggests that bears are clearly in control
Since reaching a record high of US$19,511 on Dec. 18 shortly after the introduction of regulated futures contracts in the U.S., Bitcoin has wiped out more than half its value amid waves of negative news. Setbacks included escalating regulatory threats from authorities around the world including India, South Korea, China and the U.S., a record US$500 million heist at Japanese exchange Coincheck Inc., fears of price manipulation and Facebook's ban on cryptocurrency ads.
"Bitcoin is in trouble," Lukman Otunuga, a research analyst at foreign exchange broker Forextime Ltd, wrote in a note Friday. "Price action suggests that bears are clearly in control, with further losses on the cards as jitters over regulation erode investor appetite further."
Japanese authorities raided Coincheck's offices Friday morning, a week after the robbery, hauling out documents and computers as evidence. The inspection was conducted to ensure security for users, Finance Minister Taro Aso said.

Talib Kweli is Better at Twitter Then You ... and the new Facebook Pages with Twitter!
Talib Kweli - for those that don't know, a groundbreaking rapper from Brooklyn – is on Twitter. As are many other rappers and DJ's. Twitter has become the new MySpace, to the point that Twitter (plus Ning) is the big threat to MySpace, not to Facebook (that's another post – but something to think about).
On August 5, on his Twitter account Kweli gave his top ten ways to use Twitter (or Twitter no nos!, as he put it). I have cut and pasted his full list of top ten ways to Twitter from his account (apologies to Kweli, but it was too good not to post for more people to see), and include the original time stamps.
and number 1- never overtweet. (i just broke that rule, I'm out!) 4:26 PM Aug 5thDespite all the advice from social media / Twitter gurus, here is a man that is doing his own promotion for his CDs, and giving real world advice from real world experience, in a B2C way. This advice is much easier to listen to than that from "experts" who use Twitter to just self promote without real world experience.
2. I will never say something on twitter I can't say to your face. Thats for the e goons 4:25 PM Aug 5th
3. I will never jump into your convo without visiting your profile to say what has been said, this makes you seem slow 4:24 PM Aug 5th
4. I will never ask you to follow me. I'd rather direct you to my site or ask u to follow someone I admire. No messiah complex here 4:23 PM Aug 5th
5. Never repeat what someone wrote without the RT (retweet) 4:22 PM Aug 5th
6. Never send a tweet to someone who is in the same room as you. 4:21 PM Aug 5th
7. Never have someone else tweet for you. Thats missing the point 4:21 PM Aug 5th
8. don't be the twitter police. If I don't like what you say I'll ignore you. 4:20 PM Aug 5th
9. twitter personal business esp. emotional stuff. twitter is not your personal diary and you invite confusion into your life this way 4:19 PM Aug 5th
10 twitter no nos! 10. Twitter other people's business. Should go without saying. 4:18 PM Aug 5th
The interesting news today – which prompted me to finish this post – was Facebook announcing that you can now push your Facebook Pages updates to your corporate Twitter account.
This is good news for corporations, celebrities and others with Facebook Pages. While you are able to populate your personal Facebook page with your Twitter updates because of the Twitter application and they are tied together with the status updates, corporate Facebook Pages had nothing (or, well, I couldn't figure out how to do it).
Now, I agree with Om Malik and Fred Vogelstein that Facebook is about Google and data, and by incorporating Twitter into Facebook Pages, Facebook is able to "see" what corporations want to integrate into Twitter - as well as what members are fans, how they interact, etc. and how that can be used for marketing and ads.
So while some companies have already integrated marketing campaigns from Twitter to Facebook (e.g. send out a contest on Twitter, tell people to go comment on your corporate Facebook Page and become a fan), this makes it easier for the internal marketing / public relations / communications person to keep a consistent message. If the internal person or agency wants to send out a message to both its fans on Facebook, as well as its Twitter followers, it does not have to worry about going to both platforms but can send the message out on Facebook.
What does this mean at the end of the day for public relations? It means easier management of two of the hotter social media platforms – which means time savings for the executives. All in all, that's not a bad thing.

Thanks for the tip on posting from FB pages to Twitter, and the speculation on FBs strategy for adding a gate out of the walled garden. Would love to get together for lunch one of these days. Call me.ReplyDelete
Awesome find and great tips from Kweili. I agree they are much more credible than any that social media influencers can give.ReplyDelete
The question I have about the Facebook to Twitter mechanism is one I struggle with. The Facebook audience is often very different than the Twitter audience. Twitter is much more concentrated on conversation while Facebook bleeds more toward content consumption and engagement with some conversation mixed in.
Shouldn't then businesses use both platforms slightly differently? Isn't auto posting from one to the other disingenuous to the community on one or the other?
I don't ask from a "I know better" standpoint, but to knock around the idea. For a person, I think auto posting from one to the other is ill-advised. If you autopost your Tweets on Facebook but never engage with folks responding to them on Facebook, you're dropping your Facebook ball. I can see where a business or PR person would find the automation makes it easier to manage, but are they also dropping the ball for the company as well?
A penny for your thoughts on that, sir. And welcome back to more frequent posting.
I hear this all the time, Keep it Simple. I really like all the information you have here and will check it all out.ReplyDelete
I was wondering if you were following Kweli on Twitter! He really understands the space and engages - love to see it. Doesn't hurt he's one of the sickest MCs around. Nice post, JP!ReplyDelete
@Eric - Thanks, I'm around just ping me on Gmail.ReplyDelete
@Jason - I agree on the audiences on FB and Twitter, but there is some crossover. What's nice is that it's just one way, not totally reflexive. So, you post to FB (and Twitter is updated) but you can have your full Twitter responses and conversations on Twitter that doesn't post on Facebook. It's great for the FB Pages, because it is just fan/friend based. What I noticed working on the Pages is that there is lot less engagement ... unless I drove it from Twitter. Twisted, huh? But, yes, the random times that people posted I made sure to answer on Facebook.
@JayVee - Yep, follow him and Wale and a few others. And he is great. :)
I guess it goes to show that common sense and good values are still the prevailing wind for succeeding in the space. That being said, I've followed Talib's career for ages and he's one astute guy - both parents are professors as well.ReplyDelete
Great post Jeremy - thanks for sharing!
@Andrew - Yep, gotta love Talib, but didn't know that about his parents. Thanks for the shout-out.ReplyDelete
I wonder when the conglomeration of social media tools like Facebook and Twitter will occur. A one stop shopping platform that will encompass everything out there...ReplyDelete
But at least this is a start. There could be some problems, as mentioned in the comments regarding different audiences using different tools, but I think the merging of both Facebook and Twitter aspects will help create a unified message, as long as it's simple and audience neutral.

There are four main components that make up an undergraduate student's orientation to the UW:
- University 101: Online pre-orientation course
- Advising & Orientation: On-campus or hybrid experience
- Husky Guide: Printed publication
- Dawg Daze: Welcome week events
Flipping orientation content requires departments to take a big-picture assessment of your learning outcomes for first year students and determine the most appropriate time and strategies to meet your outcomes through each component.
Most objectives are best met by gradually communicating information through each component, while others can be met in fewer. Feel free to discuss the most appropriate strategy for your information with an FYP representative.
Example Learning Outcome: Every student will be able to sing the official fight song of the University of Washington.
The "Welcome to Your First Year" video (on the side bar) is how the relationship between U101 and A&O is framed for first year students.

In My Opinion: America Recycles Day is more than just recycling cans
Can you talk about any differences in this year's America Recycles Day compared to previous years'?
Resource Recycling
Nov. 15, 2016
By Tyler Orton
This year, we're promoting #BeRecycled, which is messaging to individuals about reducing, reusing, recycling, and buying products with recycled content, at all locations. This is about demonstrating that recycling is a lifestyle decision and commitment. America Recycles Day is about encouraging them to think about recycling as more than just recycling bottles and cans in the kitchen but as an action you can take in many venues, many times throughout the day.

I have no idea why this model is so unhappy. These dresses are as sweet as cotton candy, and the plastic insert is pretty cool. I'm drawn to these dresses because they've got a classic shift-dress cut, but look completely futuristic at the same time with the injection of PVC material.
The dresses, which are made from cotton (aside from the PVC bit) fit oversized and a bit T-shirt-like, which keeps things casual. This isn't an "investment" dress that you're going to wear ten years from now, but it's one that'll get a lot of attention if you're rocking it this summer.
Because the PVC detail is already so unusual and flashy, I'd stick to minimal accessories with this one. Geometric earrings or a graphic-print purse would enhance the mod-vibe of the dress—as would a pair of platforms. If you fear of looking too Baby Spice, go opposite and match the dress with a borrowed-from-the-boys pair of brogues or a roughed-up pair of canvas kicks. I just wouldn't go with stilettos or trying to look too refined on this one. You'll look like a weird time capsule.
The pink and blue PVC dresses are $69 over at Pixie Market.

Durham County
'He could be a world champ,' veteran ring trainer Turner says of The Bull City Bully
The Bull City Bully sets his sights on a world championship and a better life
A gravel road splits an expansive tract of sod from a soybean field and runs past the isolated boxing gym, before dead-ending into pinewoods and a rising mist, as evening sets in.
It's humid for October and hot. There's no air-conditioning in the gym, and the thin, sweat-stained walls with exposed insulation trap the heat and moisture.
Sunset is the loneliest hour for Marko Bailey as he starts his twilight walk. Done with training, the young Durham fighter, 5-0 as a pro, has nothing to do but think about how he packed up his life and moved three hours away to a 535-person town to put it all on the line.
He quit his jobs and left his 1- and 2-year-old daughters with their mother. Now, his sole income comes from small sponsorships, like an accident attorney and a used car lot, which barely cover his only expenses of three meals a day and child support.
But, Marko "The Bull City Bully" Bailey, 22, has caught the eye of renowned boxing trainer Don Turner.
That means the East Durham streets may have produced a "real" fighter – a serious fighter, with potential to bloody others for serious money – for the very first time.
In Durham, where I'm from, there are a lot of bad things that go on.
Marko "The Bull City Bully" Bailey
Turner, 78, has trained over 20 world champions. He was the principal trainer and cornerman for Evander Holyfield when he defeated Mike Tyson, and again, for the rematch, when Tyson bit off part of Holyfield's ear.
"He has the potential to be the best fighter I've ever worked with," Turner said of Bailey, tapping the side of his head.
"He could be a world champ, if he can get this right."
'Ain't no good fighters'
Last spring, a local fight promoter phoned Turner to tell him about a good-looking prospect in Durham.
"Yeah," Turner said. "Right."
The elderly trainer crosses his arms and shakes his head just remembering it.
"Durham. A fighter? … Mhmm," he dismissed the notion.
"There ain't no good fighters in Durham. No real fighters in all North Carolina," Turner said. "You take these guys to Jersey, New York, Philly. Get the s--- beat out of them, man."
It took someone with substantial boxing world connections to turn Turner's ear.
Someone like Michelle "Raging Babe" Rosado, who's backed by International Boxing Hall of Fame promoter Russell Peltz – a man who breaks conversation to say things like, "Excuse me, I've got to take this. It's a good friend. Don King."
Rosado is trying to jump start boxing expositions in Durham.
"The Raging Babe called and wanted me to take a look," Turner said. So, he relented.
Bailey made the three-hour drive to Turner's camp, changed into shorts and ducked inside ring ropes. He bobbed. He punched. And Turner called the Raging Babe back.
"What do you think?" she said.
"He can fight," Turner said. "He can fight."
The kid and an old man in a soybean field
One wouldn't call Turner sweet-tempered.
His voice has gristle, and he answers questions by posing his own.
"It's called Don Turner's Boxing Camp," he said. "What? You too busy to read the sign out by the road?"
Turner retired from his own short-lived professional boxing career in 1967 and has trained fighters since.
Holyfield's victory over Tyson in 1996 was considered the biggest upset of that year, and the World Boxing Association named Turner the 1996 Trainer Of The Year. Now, he said, finances don't concern him.
Besides Holyfield, Turner has trained former heavyweight champion Larry Holmes and former light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev and he originally built the Arapahoe training camp in the late-'90s for Michael Grant, who Turner considered a potential contender for a heavyweight title shot.
"It didn't work out between us," Turner said of a later split with Grant.
As it turned out, Turner was right. An undefeated Grant would challenge, but fail, to beat Lennox Lewis for Lewis' three heavyweight titles in 2000.
When the bell rings, they got to change their whole personality.
Don Turner
Turner believes fighters should be single-minded.
"If you doing something where you can get hurt doing it, why wouldn't you want to put everything into it?" he said.
The remote property surrounded by crops and nature's silence fit his philosophy – no distractions – as the perfect place to build a gym.
He bought the small house, added a gym and ring, and a dormitory with a half-dozen small, windowless rooms to house fighters.
"I'm not going to lie, I've had some tough days," Bailey said. "I miss my kids; I miss my children. I miss out on a lot of memories."
Bailey has lived in one those rooms for over a month, training every day.
The Bully
Other kids used to tease Bailey about his size.
He got into his first fight stepping off a Durham School of the Arts school bus in sixth grade.
"Things went south real bad. He was a lot bigger, but, I tussled with him," Bailey said. "I don't remember if we got suspended from school."
Bailey fights as a lightweight under 135 pounds, standing at 5 feet, 7 inches.
He grew up on North Goley Street in what was the Few Gardens community off East Main Street before a city revitalization project demolished it.
"In Durham, where I'm from, there are a lot of bad things that go on," Bailey said.
He enrolled at Southern High School, then transferred to Northern High, where he wrestled and graduated in 2012.
He's been arrested for misdemeanor marijuana possession and for carrying a concealed gun without a license.
Bailey believes Turner's training is his way to a better life.
Hit harder.
Don Turner
"Coach is old school," Bailey said of Turner. "His training techniques, a lot of people don't use anymore."
Turner won't let Bailey run more than three miles a day, opposed to most boxers' six to 10.
"Fighters need rope work, shadow boxing and calisthenics," Turner said. "That's it."
Bailey spars for \an unusually minimal three times a week for three, three-minute rounds and never hits mitts.
"Mitts is something somebody created to give somebody else a job," Turner said. "But fighters like 'em cause they can rest … makes them feel good, but they ain't done nothing, man."
Turner doesn't want his fighters to lift weights.
"You heard of Joe Louis?" Turner said. "Never lifted one weight."
Turner rarely uses a speed bag when training, because boxers hit the bags with the side of their fists. "You hit a guy that way?" he said.
But, Bailey spends hours every week uppercutting, throwing quick crosses and thousands of jabs into punching bag skins. One step for every punch, coordination is paramount. He's not allowed to throw two punches in row without replanting his feet, but he punches fast.
Punch, step, punch, step, day-in, day-out.
"Harder," Turner yells.
Sweat suctions yellow, knee-high socks to his ankles.
"Pick your foot up! Turn. Turn that foot right," Turner coaches. A timed buzzer sirens.
A fatigued Bailey slumps on his slow walk toward water bottles.
"Spit," Turner commands.
Bailey swishes and spits in an old black spit-bucket sitting slimy at the foot of the ring.
Does he got 'It?'
"He's the first kid in a long time, that I've seen with everything," Turner said. "But I don't know if he wants to fight or not. ... But I don't know, if he wants to fight."
Bailey possesses a quick-footed athleticism, but Turner says every good fighter has "something" else inside them. He won't give up the "something" else.
Is it a mentality?
Turner stays silent.
A specific kind of drive?
Turner doesn't say a word.
An edge? A chip on the shoulder. A need to hurt somebody real bad; a need to prove something to themselves. Or maybe, somebody beat on them and it's that face they aim for.
"Yeah," Turner said. "They got to be mean. They – got to be, mean.
"When the bell rings, they got to change their whole personality," he added.
Into what?
The seasoned cornerman lowered his voice and answered with a soft smile on his face saying, "A killer."
Turner says if Bailey wants to be a great fighter, if he wants it bad enough to be mean enough, then he his first step would be to beat Steve "The Answer" Massey – "run through him" – for the North Carolina Lightweight Championship Thursday night in the Durham Armory downtown.
But Turner insists he doesn't talk to Bailey about the kid's personal life. At night, after they've eaten their dinners, the two sit on the couch in Turner's living room watching TV. Bailey wears flip-flops. ESPN is on.

Bring on the big guns.....!!
Avon Descent 2010) to see the most amazing pictures of last years race conditions. I should imagine that it would be a lot harder hauling a speed boat over rocks than it would a kayak, but... I never intend to find out, how about you.....!!

Wow, sure looks a bit on the dangerous side. Great action photos.ReplyDelete
Wow you would think that the motors would get destroyed by the rocks. Super shots!ReplyDelete
waouhh j'adore cette serie, une explostion d'eau pour les canoes. Vaiment tres impressionnatReplyDelete
You got really terrific action shots, Grace. It must have been both exciting and fun.ReplyDelete
Wonderful pictures! Awesome!ReplyDelete
Nope...this is not something I would try. I wonder how many of those motors survive this trip. Once again your photos are just great.ReplyDelete
Motorboats in these Class 3+ rapids? Insane. There has to be a line between adventurous fun and the imminent risk of destroying yourself.ReplyDelete
The condition of the waterway on your link made me wonder why anyone would try it when the water is high because the earlier photos show what lies beneath the watery surface. To me that's scarier than the photos of today's race in the water.ReplyDelete
Looks like fun but not something I could try. I really like that first shot.ReplyDelete
it's very dangerous for photograferReplyDelete
Like I said yesterday, I'm a coward!ReplyDelete
I love these action shots though!
Estupendas las fotos que nos has dejado, como siempre un placer haber vuelto por tu espacio.ReplyDelete
Saludos y un abrazo.
Action shots for sure. I'm amazed that you could capture it so well. Loved them, thanksReplyDelete
wow amazing stuff!!ReplyDelete
There must be a lot of damage too. Sheeeeesh!ReplyDelete
I guess they are paid handsomely to do this!ReplyDelete
Very good action shots!ReplyDelete
So, Grace, was that you clinging to the rocks taking that shot in the second photo? These are wonderful action shots... I would consider the kayak but not the motorboat!ReplyDelete
Very scary. Is that a motor on a kayak? Never have seen that.ReplyDelete
wow! they are scary to look at,ReplyDelete
i wouldn't dream of doing that.
but on one hand, it does look fun.
so, i;m now having second thoughts...^0^
Fantastic action shots Grace. What a great event and great captures.ReplyDelete

What a challenge !ReplyDelete
Always two hands of water beneath their keel and a good Wednesday for you all.
daily athens
Great action shots! Like you Perth, I prefer to get my kicks from sitting at a safe distance and doing the photography!ReplyDelete
Quite brilliant shots.ReplyDelete
Another fantastic series of these 'crazy' guys adventure! :-)ReplyDelete

• Notes on Cerebellum Blues, Playlists One and Two: the talent question.
Welcome to my series of posts about how I got into music and songwriting and the events that ultimately led to the 2012 release of my first album. Here are the posts, so far:
1. a little bit of blood, lots of sweat, a few tears (the launch!)
2. what's with the title?
3. beginnings
4. from high school to LA and back
Before I move on to the next phase of my music life, there's a topic I have to address: talent. I could try to define talent, but why should I when Merriam Webster's has done it so well:
4a : a special often athletic, creative, or artistic aptitude
Yup, I agree with that, to me talent is potential you're born with that hard work can bring out and hone. I have talent for some things, but playing in time, locking into a groove, is not one of them.
Many, if not most, people I talk to about talent tell me it's a myth (there's even a book called The Talent Myth, read it, bored), that we can all be great at anything. Bull. Even after subjecting myself to the reality distortion field of the mighty Malcolm Gladwell by reading his book Outliers, I remain unconvinced. Gladwell's 10,000-hours rule has become de facto fact but I don't buy it, or I am the exception to his rule. Once upon a time I might have believed that if worked hard enough — and truly practiced with intent — I could become a really good guitar player. But then I went to G.I.T.
When I started at G.I.T. in mid 1985, I had been playing guitar for about seven years and despite much woodshedding remained a fatally flawed musician. No matter how hard I tried — and I tried goddamn hard — I still really struggled to play in time, forget grooving. But as I read about G.I.T.'s curriculum, its instructors, its guest lecturers and took in the gushing quotes from satisfied G.I.T. students and considered the school's location, which was in the heart of Hollywood and just down the road from Capitol Records, I concluded that G.I.T. held the answer to my rhythm woes.
The early days of G.I.T. were all about scales and learned them all: major, minor, lydian, mixolydian, dorian, whatever. G.I.T. also placed emphasis on shapes, which really helped me navigate the neck of the guitar with more fluidity and to understand why certain things worked and others did not. Most important, for me, G.I.T. believed in timing, as in in playing on the beat. I bought an electronic metronome and I practiced everything to it. I practiced for hours and when I wasn't playing to the metronome I was recording to my drum machine. It all helped, I got better, but better is not good and because good takes talent.
When I finished G.I.T. I knew a lot more about the guitar than when I started and this extra knowledge has served me well ever since. I was also a better guitar player. In fact, I was so much better than when I had started, I was still thinking about a career in music and after school had ended and I was driving back up to the Bay Area, I was plotting the formation of a band. But you can convince yourself of almost anything when driving at night on I5 and drinking a few too many cokes to stay awake.
Be sure to visit the photo gallery! I'm adding stuff all the time.

Nowadays, people are really immersed with music. You'll see people wearing their earbuds and headphones wherever you go. You'll hear songs being played in restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and even on public transport.
I love music. I don't have a great voice but I do sing. I am nonetheless a certified bathroom singer. And listening to music is always one thing I always do everyday. I always play songs on Spotify or saved songs on my phone whenever I wake up, while preparing for the day, during travels or anytime that I feel like it (which is most of the time).
And a person like me who worries about a lot of things tend to listen to certain songs over and over not just because I can relate but because I understand the lyrics. And I always love listening to heartbreaking or depressing songs since they calm my mind and lift my soul thinking that those songs are made just for me.
Well, allow me to introduce you to some beautiful songs that I really love listening to.
If You Leave Me Now - Foxes
Give me a reason why you choose to always hurt my soul
I gave you everything, oh baby, please I have to know
Just answer me the question, are you gonna stay or go?
Stay or go?
This is the best part of the song for me. I fell in love with Foxes vocals on this song which is really great. Aside from that, I can feel the intense emotion she's feeling while she was singing it. Obviously, this song is about a relationship which is on the brink of possible break up which I can totally relate because of failed relationships that I had.
Who You Are - Jessie J
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are
I really love this song since it reminds me that it's alright not to be perfect. It tells me that life isn't easy, that my heart will get broken and my mind will get confused. However no matter, I need to stay true to myself and that everything's going to be okay.
Change For Love - Little Sea
'Cause even when you're in pieces
You're still a masterpiece
And don't ever feel like you don't measure up
This is a great piece by Little Sea included on their With You, Without You album. When I first heard this song, I got hypnotized by the music itself. So I decided to check on the lyrics and I am hundred percent sure this song is almost about me. Haha. Sometimes dark thoughts keeps roaming inside my mind and I end up keeping them lock in my head. I do keep silent most of the times since everytime I try to explain my thoughts and feelings, I end up not being able to do so that makes it more complicated. But imagine having someone to see you perfectly when you don't even see it yourself.
Daylight - Boyce Avenue Cover
And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close
This is Maroon 5's song but Alejandro's acoustic cover of this is really great. One of the most heartbreaking song I heard. Imagine knowing it will be the last night you'll be together and you can't do nothing about it.
You Make Me Happy - Caylin Cervetti
But I'll always love you (da da da dadum)
But I'll always love you (da da da dadum)
'Cause you make me happy (da da da dadum)
And I'll never leave you
'Cause you make me happy (da da da dadum)
And I'll never leave you
'Cause you make me happy (da da da dadum)
Obviously, this is not a depressing song. It has a melody that really makes you feel happy. We are not perfect and we make mistakes, Imagine someone who'll choose to stay and love us despite all that.
I still have a lot of songs that I want to share with you but that's for a different post. You can consider listening to these songs and tell me your thoughts about them.
Life is a song that hasn't been completed yet. Remember that you're life is a masterpiece at work. You'll sing it just a little off key sometimes but you'll learn to sing it beautifully along the way.

Successful knee surgery for World Champ Hendrickson/
PARK CITY, UT – World Champion ski jumper Sarah Hendrickson underwent successful surgery on her right knee Thursday and is resting comfortably at her home in Park City. The surgery stems from an injury sustained during a training jump in Obersdorf, Germany on Aug. 21.
Hendrickson underwent ACL reconstruction, MCL and meniscal repair, according to U.S. Ski Team Medical Director Kyle Wilkens. The surgery was performed by U.S. Ski Team physician Dr. Andrew Cooper of Salt Lake City.
"While it's too early to identify a specific recovery window, the medical team will work with Sarah to ensure the best care in rehabilitation," said Wilkens. "A full recovery is anticipated."
Hendrickson lauded the excellent care and support she's received from family, friends, Women's Ski Jumping USA teammates and coaches, U.S. Ski Team doctors, physical therapists, and athletic trainers.
"Life has a crazy way of working out and this is definitely not the
path I had planned," Hendrickson said. "I'm determined to make my
coaches, friends, family, country and myself proud by working as hard as
I can on my recovery."
Alan Alborn, Head Program and Development Coach for Women's Ski Jumping USA, said Hendrickson has already proven that she can push through a significant injury and rise to the top. Last summer she had surgery to repair damage to her left knee. She was out for five months, but battled back to finish the 2013 World Cup season in second place overall and to win the 2013 World Championships in February in Val di Fiemme, Italy.
"Sarah's professionalism as an athlete not only shines through on the ski jump but in her daily life and most importantly in the gym where she continuously pushes herself to be the best," Alborn said. "The coaching staff has all the confidence in the world that she will again return to high level athletic performance."

Visitors look at paintings at the China Cultural Center in Berlin. [Photo/Chinaculture.org]
Opening on International Women's Day, a collection of contemporary paintings created by Chinese female artists is on display at the China Cultural Center in Berlin.
The exhibition is also part of the cultural activities to celebrate the 45th anniversary of China-Germany diplomatic ties.
More than 60 pieces by 10 Chinese women are in the two-week show, depicting natural landscapes and life in modern China.
"Works on show today are created by Chinese women of different ages and careers, but what they have in common is their delicate feelings about nature and life, manifested in the exquisite artworks," Sun Qinhang, deputy director of the China Cultural Center, said at the exhibition opening on March 7.
Speaking at the opening, Iris Jana Magdowski, vice mayor for Education, Culture and Sports of Potsdam said, "Germany admires the great achievements of China in economy and technology over the past 30 years, but we all know that the unique culture of China has been a crucial part of the country. The high-quality paintings showcased today are all from female artists, which proves that women are playing an essential role in Chinese art."
The opening was accompanied by demonstrations of Chinese calligraphy and shows of traditional Chinese music.
The exhibition runs until March 24.
This year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of China-German diplomatic relations in 1972. More than 80 cultural activities are planned for the year including music, drama, dance, creative design, literature and film, in both China and Germany.

Australia's favourite swimwear label, Seafolly have uncovered the latest bronzed beauty who will front their Summer 2012/13 campaign. For the second year running Seafolly have secured an international supermodel, this year being South African born Behati Prinsloo.
The 23-year-old Victoria Secret's Angel and Leonardo DiCaprio's ex is bronzed, toned and looking flawless in the sneak peak campaign images that were released. With long locks and equally long limbs to match, Behati is the perfect candidate for these images which were shot in tropical Palm Springs.
The Seafolly campaign has previously formed a platform for Aussie supermodels including Miranda Kerr, Catherine McNeil, Jess Hart and Samantha Harris. Draped in delicate gold chains and ethnic inspired necklaces a high fashion approach has been taken. These images are the perfect thing to add a little heat to this chilly Autumn day. I'm thinking... bring on summer already!


text: A winter ascent of Longs Peak was made on New Year's Day, 1929, by Jess L. Fults, A. L. Richey and Leo Sisler and also another about the same time in 1930, by Fults. After the first climb the climbers were compelled to spend several days in the cabin on the Boulderfield, at an elevation of about 12,000 feet, because of a blizzard. On the second ascent the wind again proved to be of extreme violence, These are the first recorded winter ascents since that of January, 1925, when Agnes Vaile lost her life on the descent and Walter Kiener was permanently crippled.
