Royals run in the Spring Run Off
On a bright and sunny Sunday morning, ten Douglas College Running Club athletes, along with coaches Besnik and Tatajana Mece and Sport Science instructor Zefo Bernath, took part in the 5th annual 8km Harry Spring Run-Off held in Stanley Park, Vancouver.
The Harry Spring Run-Off is a race held to fight prostate cancer. Our Douglas College Running Club decided this was the perfect event to race in, as Zefo Bernath, DC Sport Science Faculty, is a cancer survivor. This year the event raised over $200,000 for prostate cancer research!
We all ran an amazing race. The Douglas College Running club placed fourth overall in the team standings. For the male athletes, A. Gibson came in strong with a time of 31:05 followed by A.Villalta (33:04), T.Morey (36:07), N. Poljer (39:17), Z.Bernath (40:06), J.Waymen (44:07), A. Pavel (49:38), J. Mece (55:51), and Coach B. Mece with a time of 1:02:00.
Female athletes, M. Fretter and R.Innis, ran a solid race coming in with close times of 36:34, 37:08, followed by C. Fong (49:19), and Coach T. Mece with a time of 55:51.
Highlights of the race were A. Gibson and M. Fretter placing third in both of their age categories, A.Pavel and T. Morey running an 8km race for the first time, Z. Bernath coming in with a personal best for his age category, J. Mece running alongside and coming through the finish line with his mom, coach T. Mece, and the entire team cheering wildly as Coach Besnik Mece came through the finish line with a look of radiant triumph on his face.
Douglas College Running Club was ranked 4th as a team.
A special thank-you to P. Gahunia for coming out to support DC athletes and taking many memorable photos of us. Congratulations to all DC Running Club athletes for their race results, and we wish our team well as we continue training for the next big race, the Vancouver Sun Run in April, 2011.

Old Spaghetti Facotry Athlete of the Week
Megan, a third year BPEC Student, is committed to physical activities in her community on and off campus. Her never quit attitude has positioned her for great success in the coming future. It is Megan's second year with the running club, though very naive about her performance she is consistently a top performer. With a great start to the teams next phase, she has come in first place for women age 20-29 at the 2010 Langley Chilly Chase, the clubs first meet. These results are not easily attained; she is on a tight training schedule which is very demanding. Megan is also currently supporting many amateur athletes via training for the 2010 BMO Vancouver Marathon. Keep up the great Work!
Old Spaghetti Facotry Athlete of the Week
Brandon achieved leaps and bounds for the running club in the 2009 BC Athletics Lower-mainland Cross Country series. He was a consistent top finisher for each race and brought home a second place overall ranking for the school in his age category. Brandon ran with the best of the best locally from BC and surrounding areas. He competed against Canadian athletes who run at national standard times, better known as the elite. His potential for future success is prevalent with his commitment to running and finishing strong at every race. Brandon finished first for men age 20-29 at the 2010 Langley Chilly Chase, the running clubs first race of the season. Great Job!

A Cook's Tour
When author and chef Anthony Bourdain exposed the "culinary underbelly" of our nation's finest eating establishments in the best-selling
Kitchen Confidential
-- using his inimitable combination of wit, candor, and bravado -- readers and reviewers alike were smitten. Having tackled the American eating scene, Bourdain travels the world in
A Cook's Tour
, scouring the continents, befriending the natives, risking death and deportation -- and eating his way towards the Perfect Meal. Among other places, he visits the France of his boyhood summers, where he tasted his life-changing first oyster; he hits Vietnam to sample an authentic bowl of pho; in frigid Russia he consumes luscious caviar and enough vodka to sink an elephant; in sweltering Morocco he has the roasted lamb of his desert-adventure fantasies; Japan offers not only the ultimate sushi experience, but a chance to try fugu, the poisonous puffer fish; in crumbling, post-Khmer Rouge Cambodia, the food is as shady as the politics…
But this cook's tour is more than just a breezy jaunt to exotic lands -- it's a lesson in diplomacy, a study in cultural history, and often times, a test of human endurance. As he savors these foreign delicacies, Bourdain discovers the inextricable link between food and country -- and that even when you've traveled across time zones, good food can always make you feel at home.
Questions for Discussion
Bourdain tastes some pretty exotic dishes in
A Cook's Tour
-- Tête de veau (calf's face), snake wine, and sheep testicles, to name a few. What is the wildest thing you've ever eaten? What is the thing you've always wanted to try? What is the thing you'd never try no matter what?
When you travel to other places, how important is trying the cuisine of the region to you? Do you make a point of sampling as much regional food as possible or do you tend to stick to the tried and true, eating at McDonald's more often than not? Where that you've visited has had the best food and why?
After reading
A Cook's Tour
-- and from your own personal experience -- what are some basic differences Americans have in their attitude towards food, meals, and eating, compared to people in other countries?
A Cook's Tour
more of a travel book, more of a food book, or equal parts both? If you could, would you want to embark upon a globe-trotting adventure similar to Bourdain's? What seemed most appealing and most unappealing about his trip?
How did the fact that Bourdain is a professional chef affect his account? Would it have been better or worse if he was an "ordinary" person? Did his background make him more willing to try different things or more of a "food snob" about what he ate?
What do you think the food of a country says about the politics, customs, people, and general way of life of that culture? Compare, for instance, the food/cultures of Japan, Cambodia, and Portugal.
Bourdain makes many of his descriptions of eating good food sound almost like a religious experience. Do you agree that good food can have this affect -- or is it, in the end, just sustenance? If not food, what in your life do you feel this passionately about?
In both of his books, Bourdain discusses the phenomenon of the celebrity chef. How does he use his celebrity? How does he compare to other well-known chefs in terms of his appeal, his honesty, and his style?

Sammy Kaye's band was a textbook example of "sweet" dance bands: large groups whose arrangements seldom swung in the true sense, but were very popular among those who enjoyed overly sentimental light pop and novelty tunes. Kaye began building his reputation in college, then became a hit on radio in Cincinnati. He moved to Pittsburgh and eventually became a national staple. His radio show Sunday Serenade was a huge hit in the '40s and '50s. Kaye had many pop hits, some of them adapted for Broadway shows. His gimmick of having fans volunteer to lead his band was highly popular and was transferred to television in the '50s. Perry Como and Nat King Cole had hits with Kay material. This was far from being a jazz band in the real sense, but made enjoyable material of its kind. ~ Ron Wynn

Philly Cheesesteaks
Recipe courtesy of Sandra Lee
Recipe copyright Sandra Lee, 2011
- Sandra's Money Saving Meals
- 1 pound top round London broil
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 medium onions, sliced
- 2 green peppers, cut into strips
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk, warm
- 1 cup shredded provolone
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Four 5-inch sub rolls, split
Wrap the meat tightly in plastic wrap and put it into the freezer for 45 minutes. It should be firm but not completely frozen.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or a griddle over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onions and peppers and season with salt and pepper. Cook until they are soft and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooked onions and peppers for another use, such as the Round 2 Recipe Chili Tostada.
In a medium pot over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon oil. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and cook until it just starts to bubble and thicken, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the cheese and cayenne. Stir occasionally as the cheese melts. Cover and keep warm.
With a sharp knife, slice the meat into very thin strips. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and cook the meat until it is done to your liking, 1 to 3 minutes per side. Divide the onion and pepper mixture among the 4 rolls. Top with the meat and the cheese sauce.

Man, I'm betting this WWDC 2011 will be the best WWDC yet.
I heard they'll be testing a new reality distortion field which will bring everyone within it's presence into another phase entirely. I don't know what it'll look like but I'll assume that it'll be glorious beyond Apple fanboys comprehension and I'm guessing it'll be called "iReality".
I'm guessing that's why the tickets for WWDC 2011 are worth more then an iPhone or even an iMac. Seriously I hope the people who payed thousands for those tickets at least get their money worths, the sellers who are selling these tickets included.
"The future starts with you; now start posting more!"
Just wow, first it must be nice to have that kind of money to blow. 2nd the fact that the tickets cost $1500 normally seems a bit ridiculous and that people are getting twice their value just goes to show how many suckers are in this world.
How many seats are there at the venue? And do they give out free tickets to awesome hardware sites? cough cough.....
Is a keynote speech about the new os's really worth 1500?
Now you're just mashing it!
Yeah, but you also have to wonder if at least some of these are being sold by iSheep after the announcements, that seemingly popped up right after these tickets were bought. Of course the fact that nothing new but Lion is supposed to be released at the conference, and compared to last years as well as for the two years prior it has been all about the iPhone most likely plays into this somewhat.
Of course someone is obviously buying these overpriced tickets at double the price to so take that as you may this conference at least to me seems like an immense let down for $2, much less 1500, or even 3000+!
Dam, should of hooked myself up with some tickets for some cash xD
The way the Apple market works extends to ticket's for Apple events too. How foolish to think that something in the Apple universe would be affordable.
Only with Apple....
Seriously, though, who has $1,500+ to spend just to watch a keynote in person?
HHGrrl: Only with Apple.... Seriously, though, who has $1,500+ to spend just to watch a keynote in person?
Rich people and most middle class people I'm guessing?
TaylorKarras:most middle class people
Oops! I thought that I was middle class,....and I certainly can't afford to go. (nor do I want to) I guess it's a matter of priorities.
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Examining a New Biomarker of Nicotine Use Among Pregnant Women Who Participated in the New England Smoking Cessation and Reduction in Pregnancy Trial (SCRIPT)
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Smoking during pregnancy is the single most preventable cause of illness and death among mothers and infants. Because of the stigma associated with tobacco use during pregnancy, pregnant women are less likely to disclose their smoking status to doctors or study researchers. This study will evaluate the use of a new biomarker of nicotine metabolism to estimate tobacco use in a group of pregnant women who participated in the New England Smoking Cessation and Reduction in Pregnancy Trial (SCRIPT).
Condition |
Smoking Tobacco Use Disorder |
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Time Perspective: Retrospective |
Official Title: | Assessment of Nicotine Metabolism Among Underserved Pregnant Women From NE SCRIPT |
- biochemically confirmed smoking quit rates
Estimated Enrollment: | 252 |
Study Start Date: | September 1997 |
Study Completion Date: | November 2002 |
According to one source of 2004 data, approximately 13% of pregnant women reported smoking during the last 3 months of pregnancy. This is a major public health concern because smoking during pregnancy can lead to pregnancy complications and serious health problems in newborns, including a 50% increase in risk of low birth weight. The effect of tobacco exposure on infant birth weight may have long-term consequences, as fetal growth appears to be a predictor of coronary heart disease later in life. Pregnant women participating in clinical trials are less likely to disclose that they are smoking because of a desire to please study researchers. Therefore, a way to test for nicotine exposure is needed to accurately determine the number of pregnant women who smoke and the number of women who quit smoking during pregnancy.
A new biomarker of nicotine metabolism, the ratio of trans-3'-hydroxycotinine to cotinine (3-HC:C), may be an accurate estimate of nicotine exposure from tobacco. Trans-3'-hydroxycotinine and cotinine are both byproducts of nicotine that are excreted in the urine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the 3-HC:C ratio as a measure of prenatal tobacco smoke exposure between the first and third trimesters of pregnancy and to examine the use of the 3-HC:C ratio in relation to infant birth weight. In addition, changes in the 3-HC:C metabolism during pregnancy will be analyzed according to different racial and ethnic groups.
This study will enroll pregnant women who participated in the New England SCRIPT study, which drew from a predominately low-income, multi-ethnic population. There will be no study visits specifically for this study. Study researchers will analyze participants' SCRIPT study data from four surveys collected at baseline, during the third trimester, and 6 weeks and 6 months following childbirth. Researchers will analyze the following study data: smoking behavior, attitudes toward smoking, self-reported smoking status, number of cigarettes smoked per day, use of the assigned smoking cessation materials, and infant birth weight. Demographic information, including the participant's age, race and ethnicity, years of education, age of the fetus at study entry, and smoking practices of other household members, will also be examined. Urine samples collected from participants during the SCRIPT study will be analyzed for the 3-HC:C biomarker. This current study will use a new technique, liquid chromatography/atmospheric pressure ionization tandem spectrometry, to measure both cotinine and hydroxycotinine levels in the urine samples.

LOUISVILLE The town board voted unanimously this week to increase the income guidelines used to determine whether seniors citizens are eligible for a 20 percent discount on their property tax bills.
Currently seniors making $17,700 or less qualify for the program. The town board voted to hike that income ceiling to $20,000.
Town Clerk Joanne Cameron said the change came at the suggestion of Town Assessor David A. Cassort.
If we moved it to $20,000, there might be eight or nine people who become eligible, she said, explaining that over the years as social security payments have kept gradually increasing several seniors have lost their eligibility.
And just because theyre receiving increased social security payments doesnt mean theyre any better off, as Councilwoman Gail Schneider noted the price of Medicare, along with everything else, has also continued to increase.
I dont think eight people getting a 20 percent discount is going to hurt us, but it might really help them, Councilman Daniel OKeefe said.

Seaside adventure for everyone on South Devon's coast
the beach-front location, welcoming atmosphere and contemporary bedrooms that make The Cary Arms a great choice.
Lana de Savary's passion and talent for establishing high quality hotels, clubs and resorts with her husband Peter led her to the picturesque Babbacombe Bay on the South West Coast Path. Based on the concept of creating a place of fun for everyone whilst maintaining the essence of a quintessential English pub and luxury of a boutique hotel, The Cary Arms was born. Celebrating all that's great about the British seaside, it's wholesome, hearty and comforting. It's also a hotspot for water sport enthusiasts (currently there's a large grey seal swimming in these waters, known affectionately as The Cary Arms' resident seal). The whole family is welcome here, including the dog. There's not only a family room but a dog friendly one too complete with dog bed and bowl. Each guest room is an expression of international designer Kathleen Fraser whose chic seaside living décor brings a freshness and New England flavour. They all overlook the sea and luxury rooms have a private balcony or terrace. For those hankering utter seclusion there are one to five-bedroom cottages within the grounds. When the weather's fine, dinner is taken alfresco otherwise the Conservatory is a wonderful viewing point whose ever-changing menus present simple, seasonal, gastro-pub cuisine created from local produce and line-caught seafood.
the Cary's secluded location ticks all the right boxes with its two-night Romantic Hideaway Experience. Flowers, Champagne and strawberries in your room upon arrival sets the scene, before going down to dine in the privacy of the glass sphere 'Pod' – a truly memorable evening awaits. Besides the aforementioned, a Yon-Ka spa treatment is included in the experience for each of you, making sure you leave the Cary, feeling refreshed and radiant. TheRomantic Hideaway Experience includes: • Luxury Accommodation in a sea-facing room • Daily full English breakfast • Flowers, Champagne and strawberries in your room upon arrival • An intimate three-course candlelit dinner in the glass sphere 'Pod' • A Yon-Ka 'Face and Body Glow' spa treatment (one treatment each) £635 per room May – October 2013 £535 per room November 2013 – April 2014. Subject to availability, excluding public holidays
Valid from 1 Feb 2013 to 30 Apr 2014
Two nights seaview accommodation, dinner and breakfast. We have teamed up with the local Michelin starred Elephant Restaurant (chef patron Simon Hulstone) to offer an exclusive two night gastronomic break. Two nights luxury seaview accommodation with full English breakfast each morning. Two course gastro pub supper at The Cary Arms* on one evening. Pre-dinner glass of Champagne at The Cary Arms, and return taxi to The Elephant Restaurant for a sumptious 3 course brasserie meal** on one evening. Friday & Saturday £550.00 per double room Monday - Thursday £430.00 per double room * excludes beverages. **excludes beverages and side dishes. Upgrade available to The Elephants' Fine Dining Taster Menu. Please note that The Elephant is not open on Sunday or Monday. Offer based on two sharing, subject to availability until 31st March 2013 (excluding Half Term, Valentines', Mother's Day weekends) and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.
Valid from 1 Nov 2013 to 31 Mar 2014

The National Assembly should use the last few weeks before elections in April to end the history of electoral impunity and to create an independent Electoral Offences Commission. Failure to do so would risk further entrenching violence and corruption in the electoral process and continue the disenfranchisement of Nigerian citizens.
In November, a judge for Nigeria's Federal High Court [official website] in Lagos ruled [JURIST report] that an amendment to the 1999 Nigerian Constitution [text] made by NASS cannot become operational law without the assent of the president. The amendment, known as the Constitution (First Amendment) Act 2010 [text, PDF] was passed in June. It repeals the Independent National Electoral Commission Act 2006 in order to re-instate the Nigerian Independent National Election Commission (INEC) [official website]. Also in June, the legislature passed [JURIST report] revisions to the constitution to clarify the exercise of executive authority in absence of the president. The constitutional revisions changed federal election law by removing a provision of the constitution that disallowed people who had been charged with fraud from standing for election and requiring candidates for federal office to have a degree beyond secondary education.

Try rugelach with a Southern twist
By ELIZABETH KARMEL November 26, 2012 5:38PM
In this image taken on Oct. 15, 2012, cinnamon-pecan rugelach are shown served on a platter in Concord, N.H. (AP Photo/Matthew Mead)
Updated: November 27, 2012 11:48AM
My sister, Mary Pat, is the born baker in the family. She has a sweet tooth that she has polished into a fine baking skill. Everything she makes is delicious, but she is famous for her rugelach.
As is common with rugelach, the recipe is passed down from family baker to family baker. This recipe originally came from our cousin Vera, but my sister has lovingly tweaked it to make it her own. It is made with sour cream instead of cream cheese, making the pastry lighter and flakier than most rugelach.
She also uses a simple filling of cinnamon sugar and toasted pecans that perfectly complements the delicate dough and gives the traditional Jewish cookie a Southern flavor.
The key to making rugelach is not overworking the dough. You also have to keep the dough chilled and work fast or you will lose the flaky-melt-in-your-mouth texture.
This is especially true with Mary Pat's sour cream dough; it is very delicate.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- The Poughkeepsie school district says student safety remains its top priority after one teacher stabbed another teacher in the chest with a screwdriver at the high school during the school day Thursday.
The school board held a meeting at the middle school to discuss the incident. School leaders say they are looking into additional security measures and the district will take disciplinary actions against Ronette Ricketts. Ricketts is accused of stabbing a fellow teacher 16 times with a screwdriver.
The incident happened in a hallway between third and fourth period. The school was put on lockdown after the attack.
Police say the victim, Cynthia Glozier, 52, is expected to make a full recovery.
The school says no students were in danger, but one parent says she is still concerned.
"No I don't feel like my kids are safe, because there is a fight every day," Tanya Burnett said.
"At our next meeting, we will continue to talk about safety issues. We did mention possibly weapons systems, but we wanted to make sure we had a community forum first to see what they wanted to do with that," said Sakima Green-Brown, President of the Poughkeepsie City School Board.
Police are still investigating, but school leaders say Ricketts stopped by the school administration building before school Thursday morning thinking a measure had been taken at Wednesday night's board meeting that would terminate her position. School leaders say her position was not being terminated.
Police have charged Ronnette Rickets with felony assault and misdemeanor criminal possession of a weapon.

Additionally, as of January 1, 2012, HHG brokers will be required to increase their surety bonds or trust funds to the new minimum of $25,000.

Enough is enough.
He has done a lot of things in the past five years or so, but this time President Obama has gone too far.
Forget about trying to turn us all into socialists or communists or fascists or any of those other "ists." Forget about that whole embassy attack stuff, the IRS flap, the spying, the targeting of reporters.
That stuff is just child's play.
Now, we finally have something to nail Obama with. Now, we can dust off those "Impeach Clinton" bumper stickers and — to save money — cross out "Clinton" and write in Obama. (Although, to be safe we might want to leave some of the "Impeach Clinton" bumper stickers in case Hillary gets elected in 2016.)
So what has our president done to warrant impeachment?
He told a group of children journalists that his favorite food is broccoli.
I know!
First, in response to those of you who are thinking, "But Mike, isn't the term 'children journalists' redundant?" I have to say, "Yes it is."
Second, most right-thinking Americans are thinking: "Broccoli? Are you kidding me?"
That's what I think, too!
Many, many years ago — long before I met my current wife — I was watching a football game on TV with a girl I was dating.
Before I go any further I need to say that, once again, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Uh, Mike, did you really mean to refer to your wife as your 'current wife?' Won't that get you into trouble?"
All I can say is, "Holy (bad word), did I do that? What was I thinking? What I meant to say was 'my one and only wife.'"
But back to my story. About an hour into the football game this girl said she was going to the grocery store and asked if I wanted her to pick up some snack food. I said that I did.
About 30 minutes later, the girl came back from the store.
"Look," she said excitedly. "I got us some French dip, some cauliflower and some broccoli to snack on."
I never saw her again.
Bad as it was, saying that broccoli was his favorite food wasn't the worst thing Obama did. The worst thing he did was to say it in front of children. Who does that?
Parents don't even tell their own kids that broccoli is their favorite food. When my parents wanted us to eat our vegetables, they said, "Eat your vegetables. They're good for you."
They didn't say: "Eat your vegetables. They're good."
They said they were "good for you."
My parents may have told us at one time or another that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy were real, but they never said that broccoli was their favorite food because they knew there were some things even we wouldn't buy.
But what happens if today's kids do buy the possibility that the president's favorite food is broccoli? What happens if a whole generation of kids grow up thinking that broccoli is their favorite food, too?
I'll tell you what happens: We get a whole generation of skinny, mineral water drinking, latte sipping, NPR listening people who wear tights and take yoga classes. And what if some of those people join our military?
I'll tell you what happens: We become Europe. Why, even the French will be able to kick our Limbaughs.
Right now, our Congress Creatures are busy writing bills that will never become law. But I'm sure when they are through with the important business of not getting anything done they will begin holding hearings on "Broccoligate."
But don't do it for me, Congress Creatures.
Do it for our children.

U.S. Auto Sales to Rise in Second Half of 2005, Says Standard & Poor's
But Near-Term Outlook for Big Three Automakers Cautious as Foreign Carmakers Continue to Gain Market Share
NEW YORK, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Even as the U.S. market for new automobiles remains strong by historical standards, the fortunes of industry participants vary widely and the Big Three automakers overall will lose market share to foreign carmakers, principally the Asian brands, said Standard & Poor's in its semi-annual survey on the automobile industry, published today. These and other findings are available in the report, Autos and Auto Parts Industry Survey, published twice yearly by Standard & Poor's, a leading provider of independent investment research, ratings and indices.
Standard & Poor's currently projects that U.S. light vehicle sales volume will rise 0.2% to 16.9 million units in 2005, from 16.87 million in 2004 -- reflecting Standard & Poor's forecast for stronger growth in the U.S. economy, an improved stock market, a lower unemployment rate, and rising consumer confidence. Standard & Poor's near-term outlook for the relative performance of the Big Three automakers is cautious, with the highly profitable light truck, minivan, and SUV segment of special concern. Once dominated by the Big Three, this segment faces increasing pricing pressure from successful foreign makers as well as a shift to smaller, newer, and more fuel-efficient vehicles. Standard & Poor's expects the Big Three's market share and profit margins in this sector to decline in coming periods.
"The light vehicle segment has up until now been a bastion of profitability for American manufacturers," said Efraim Levy, autos and auto parts analyst with Standard & Poor's Equity Research Services. "We anticipate that the category will continue to see the effects of heightened competition, with increased pricing pressure and discounting."
Among other highlights of the Autos and Auto Parts edition of Industry Surveys are an examination of additional challenges for U.S. automakers, including: the recent bond rating downgrades of both General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. by Standard & Poor's Credit Market Services (an entity that operates separately from the Equity Research Services unit that publishes this Survey), significantly higher domestic inventories, planned cuts to North American production, rising steel and oil prices -- thus raising the cost of both producing and owning a vehicle, a stronger euro, strong vehicle production growth in China, and weakness in the used vehicle and parts markets.....

DescriptionThe good part of this climb is the upper part. The bad part is all the loose rock, fuzzy moss, and big hike. The crux is near the top. Part of the crux is picking a route to the upper section that is fun and not too loose. Mostly I convinced Steve to do it because we were there and the crack was there, so why not? I am not sure I would do it again, but that's the way it goes some times. LocationThis is a funny little crack up hill from most of Continental Crag. It is about 100 ft up from On-Slot. Start behind the lower of two trees. The trees will block your view of the crack. You can see the crack from the top of On-Slot.

Power play: Wireless charging at a distance arrives
Someday soon, your parking space could charge your car
Computerworld - It feels a bit like being at a magic show, watching David Schatz hold a light or smartphone feet above a power pad to demonstrate how magnetic resonance wireless technology can charge any device over distance.
Schatz, director of business development at WiTricity in Watertown, Mass., can even show off the wireless "room of the future," where lamps, cell phones - you name it - can all be powered through the air, no matter where they are in the room.
WiTricity, however, won't be selling any of the wireless products it demonstrates. Instead, the company's future is in selling licenses for others to use its patented designs to build products. WiTricity has few, if any competitors, for its flavor of wireless charging, which it calls highly resonant wireless power transfer.
"They were one of the first to showcase this resonance wireless power transfer, which offers greater distances between coils versus inductive charging, which requires tight coupling between transmitter and receiver," said Jason dePreaux, a principal analyst for the Power & Energy Group at IHS Research. "My impression of WiTricity is that they're keeping it very open [for the market]."
China-based 3DVOX Technology claims it successfully developed a "3D Power System" in March 2012 that -- from a single 1.5-foot by 1.5-foot box -- can power an entire room full of electronics. The company claims its Widely Magnetic Field Launching and Focus Magnetic Field Receiving technologies are powerful enough to magnetically resonate power over many feet.
Inductive vs. resonance wireless charging
To date, products on the market have been built around magnetic induction charging techniques, which require that a mobile device be in contact with a charging surface, such as a charging pad. The leading charging pad supplier has been Duracell's Powermat technology.
Resonance charging like WiTrcity's allows an enabled device to be placed up to several feet away from a power source for charging.
Resonance charging is based on the same transmitter/receiver coil technology as magnetic induction, but it transmits the power at a greater distance. So, for example, a mobile device could be charged when laid next to a laptop with resonance charging capability or, in the case of WiTricity, it could be charged from feet away.
Lots of possibilities
The consumer product possibilities are endless for WiTricity's technology, from office desks and kitchen cabinets with embedded wireless chargers to pads buried in concrete that can charge electric cars parked in home garages and parking lots. WiTricity has even built a receiver for a solar panel, which eliminates the need to have any wires pass through a roof.
Imagine a wireless television, fed both power and media content (using Bluetooth) wirelessly. WiTricity has one.
Medical devices could also be powered with the technology WiTricity offers. For example, artificial heart pumps today must be hardwired to a battery pack worn by a patient. Wireless charging could be less invasive, helping to avoid infections in the areas where wires pass through a patient's skin.

The Travel Industry Association launched its "Change the Debate" campaign in South Carolina, where travel industry leaders were on the ground at the Republican debate on January 9, looking to inject travel-related issues into the Fox-televised forum.
Ultimately, travel questions were not asked that night, but it wasn't for lack of trying. TIA representatives met twice with debate moderator and Fox News anchor Brit Hume to discuss the importance of travel to the U.S. economy and why the candidates should be asked how they would improve the travel system, says Cathy Keefe, TIA spokeswoman. Also, TIA-sponsored billboards are up in Myrtle Beach and Columbia conveying the same message.
TIA targeted South Carolina because it is one of two early primary states, along with Florida, that relies heavily on travel and tourism as an economic driver. (The South Carolina primary was January 19; Florida is January 29). For that reason, TIA surveyed likely primary voters to get their thoughts on travel issues. The results revealed that more than 60 percent do not believe the 2008 presidential candidates have addressed a travel system that is increasingly viewed as flawed and frustrating.
"Outdated tracking systems, delays and congestion, combined with a 17 percent decline in overseas visitation to the United States since 9/11 have taken their toll on the American traveler, the economy, and the U.S. image abroad," said Roger Dow, president and CEO, TIA, in a news release. "We're taking our campaign on the road to make sure the candidates know that improving the travel process is both good policy and good politics."
As part of the Change the Debate campaign, TIA officials will be meeting with representatives from convention and visitors bureaus across the country. "We'll be distributing public policy 'how-to' kits to more than 500 CVBs," says Keefe. "The kits will contain everything they need to know to continue the forward movement of this campaign." TIA is also convening regional meetings with CVB leaders on a regular basis to update them on what TIA is doing and how they can get involved. About a dozen area CVB representatives attended the first regional meeting, held in Seattle this month.

Ride-Sharing App Sidecar Represents a "Social Network on Wheels"
Calling itself "the first on-demand rideshare community," Sidecar emerged from four months of beta testing last week, having already facilitated 10,000 rides in and around San Francisco.
It's a free smartphone app (available in both iOS and Android) that connects you with nearby drivers when you need a ride. You can choose to make a donation to the driver for that ride if you wish; it's voluntary.
"During testing, people told us that they love the convenience and the friendliness of Sidecar," says CEO Sunil Paul. "The reception has been astounding."
The service joins many other players in the transportation space, including companies we've profiled here like Uber and Getaround.
But Paul says Sidecar is different in that it is "the first ever crowd-sourced transportation network."
He believes it is attracting people for three reasons:
"One is our unique method for payment, making it voluntary, and discretionary to the passenger as to how much they want to pay. In the app, we show them the community average for a similar ride at similar time of similar length.
"Two is the community feeling it creates. This is a true p2p community, so it's more like getting a ride from a friend than taking a limo or a cab. We are a social network on wheels, very different from other modes of transportation.
"Three, it's an eco-friendly way to move around the city. It can help lead to a car-free life. What we aspire to is to turn your smartphone into your car."
Sidecar has a pretty cool feature that lets you track the car on a map as it approaches to pick you up, which allows for a very accurate ETA.
As with other p2p marketplaces, riders and drivers use their verified identities (no anonymity here) can rate each other. That's one of multiple layers the company uses to ensure a safe community. All drivers have to pass a background check and an interview.
"If a driver ever gets a low rating, we will investigate and take the appropriate action," says Paul.
The Sidecar team didn't know how the voluntary payment system would work out in beta but it turns out that the overwhelming majority just pay the default amount, which is the community average as displayed on the app.
"Most rides are relatively short -- under seven miles," says Paul. "The drivers make a little extra pocket money to offset the 20 percent of their household budget that is the average cost of owning a car in the U.S. Drivers love this experience, they earn a little money and there is the tremendous social aspect."
Paul, a veteran entrepreneur and partner in Spring Ventures (one of the company's funders) sees Sidecar as part of the third wave of mobile apps.
"The first wave involved web to mobile apps. The second wave involved dedicated mobile apps but still primarily had you interacting with your phone. The third wave as affecting everyday life; these are the apps that help you make your way in the world.
"These will have a lot more powerful impact on our society."
There's a good case to be made that Millennials, in particular, are building much of their life around their phones in way that previous generations did around their cars.
"Phones are tools to live your life in a new way," says Paul. "It used to be your car was the key to freedom and to income. Today your phone is the key to both. That's the way you connect with other people and also a tool to generate income and get around."
Note: Sidecar should not be confused with Sidecar, which I also profiled here recently.

Analgesia and sedation (twilight sleep)
The analgesia and sedation (twilight sleep) is a procedure which comes only through the development of newer medicines more and more, in particular also in the plastic surgery, for application. The surgery actually takes place in local anesthesia. Contrary to the general anesthesia no endotracheal tube is inserted for artificial respiration into the trachea and the patient breathes himself. The anesthesiologist constantly monitors all vital signs. To protect from stress here continuously a sedative or a sleeping drug will be administered to the patient and if necessary additional an analgetic agent. By this combination it is reached that the patient "oversleeps" the procedure completely relaxed. Depending upon kind and duration of the surgery the patient can leave our clinic in company very early after the procedure. The following surgeries are accompished in analgesia and sedation: liposuction, gynecomastia, facelift, minilift, frontlift, blepharoplasty, otoplasty etc.. On request the patient can get a general anesthesia of course for all above mentioned surgeries. The regional anesthesia offers the possibility of a pain-free surgery during certain surgeries and the appropriate indications. The patient receiving regional anesthesia remains conscious and alert, in contrast to the patient under general anesthesia the patient has no pain during the procedure. In combination with the general anesthesia the regional anesthesia is used for long indolency after the surgery. Typical indications for the regional anesthesia are surgeries of the hand (e.g. Morbus Dupuytren, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.) and surgeries of the feet.
Before each surgery our anesthetist will discuss the most advantageous anesthesia method in your case and inform you comprehensively about the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the risks and side effects, of the type of anesthesia you will receive. With our team of well experienced surgeon and anesthesiologist, which works for many years in excellent cooperation together, you have not to be afraid of the surgery.
