More evidence of government waste has surfaced at both the GSA and the IRS. The conservative watchdog Judicial Watch obtained and released videos showing more examples of GSA workers producing movie spoofs.
The videos, apparently from 2011, include GSA staff producing spoofs of Mission Impossible, Sherlock Holmes and Rocky. The GSA previously triggered Congressional hearings after the agency spent around $800,000 at a conference in Las Vegas featuring mind readers and clowns.

"Government seems to fail at everything they do," said Ken Jewell Friday afternoon in Tampa. "Before you start taxing us, why don't you cut out all the waste?"
Meanwhile, an Inspector General's report raised concerns about the management of purchase cards at the IRS. The report revealed inappropriate purchases and a lack of controls that have allowed former ITS employees to retain active purchase cards even after they leave the agency.
"I just don't think they're responsible people," said Terry Watland. "I think it's despicable the way they've treated our country."
A new Gallup poll shows 71 percent think our founding fathers would be disappointed with our country today. But that poll also shows 85 percent say they're still proud to be Americans. They appear to be proud of our nation, but concerned about government.

Comments about THE NORTH FACE Recon Daypack:
I use this backpack daily to go to work, school, the library, and recreational activities. My macbook fits nicely into the inner, padded laptop pocket, as do several textbooks, which I place in the main part of the backpack. The backpack straps are padded so they are comfortable, which is an upgrade over the old Recon's straps. This version of the Recon packs in more pockets than previous models. North Face has always been good in this regard, even including a key holder. These inside pockets are plentiful and useful for organizing my zip lock bags filled with stationary items such as flag bookmarks, index cards, pens and markers (useful for the semester). Other items fit nicely inside such as a cell phone and its charger which I put into the inner zip pocket My favorite pocket is the outermost, small front zip pouch above the front outer netting. Here I place a few items that I want to be immediately accessible like gum. In the two outer, netted side pockets go my umbrella and contact solution. In the large, outmost, frontmost pocket, goes my lunch. When you leave your house at 7am and come back at 8pm, it is worth the price paid to have a bookbag like this because it provides me the ability for good organization. This bookbag is worth it if you have lots of things you carry with you. When I take the train, bus, my motor scooter, or bicycle, this bookbag makes my life easier. Plus, I love the color schemes available. If you need more space then get the next model up. The only change I would have made would be full padding for the entire bottom of the bookbag not just the bottom of the laptop pocket. I have a wrapped towel on the bottom instead. Still a job well done by The North Face.

Comments about THE NORTH FACE Recon Daypack:
I use this product for day hiking, commuting, as a carry-on in aircraft, and on a motorcycle. It's really nice all around. What I don't like is the build quality. I've had it about 4 years. The zipper pulls break (this design has been superseded since mine came out so it may be better), the buckles break, and the waist strap is narrow and not padded nor wide enough at the hips. Nevertheless, I would still buy it again based on the redesign of the zippers, the way it looks, and the comfort.

Finishing off the undercard is a featured bout between light heavyweights Mike Kyle and Marcos Rogerio de Lima. Kyle (18-8-1) is coming off a loss last December to Antonio Silva. De Lima (8-0), who is making his Strikeforce debut, defeated Paul Filho last October at FCF in Brazil.
The live blog is below.
Mike Kyle vs. Marcos Rogerio de Lima
Round 1: Kyle comes charging forward behind wide hooks as de Lima circles away. Kyle has his chin up high, which is maybe not the best idea. Hard leg kick by de Lima and Kyle presses forward behind another punch combo. Kyle digs to the body with a two-punch combo. Another good leg kick by de Lima, and Kyle responds in kind. Kyle tries to work the jab, but de Lima counters with a couple good punches. A hard shot from Kyle seems to have stunned de Lima, but Kyle isn't following up with much. Perhaps he thinks de Lima is playing possum? Another left hook by Kyle hurts de Lima, but Kyle stays patient. De Lima is stumbling around to end the round, but Kyle either doesn't notice or is intent on not rushing in. Odd. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Kyle.
Round 2: De Lima's nose is bloodied, but he seems more coherent to start the second. Kyle keeps after him and stings him with a straight right early on. Kyle keeps coming in and de Lima backs him up with a sudden flurry. Now it's de Lima stalking, and Kyle goes back to work with the jab. 'Speed, speed!' shouts Kyle's corner. De Lima knocks his leg out from under him with a kick and then smacks him with a hook. Kyle fakes a shot, then moves in for a clinch and leg trips de Lima down, but can't keep him there. Now sooner does de Lima get back to his feet, however, then Kyle trips him down again. De Lima flails with his legs with Kyle in his guard, and Kyle looks to the referee for a call on an illegal upkick. The round ends with Kyle standing over a downed de Lima. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Kyle.
Round 3: De Lima whiffs on a leg kick, but then lands with a hook. He's following Kyle around the cage, lunging in with one big shot after another. De Lima lands a nice left, followed by a leg kick. Kyle is sticking to the outside, keeping de Lima at a distance with the jab. The crowd does not appreciate it. De Lima continues following him and Kyle shoots for a double-leg, planting de Lima on his back. Kyle works short punches from de Lima's half-guard, but it seems like he's content to ride this round out and win the decision. De Lima is holding on and Kyle rears up to slam him with his shoulder. 'Keep it up!' his corner shouts in the final seconds. The horn sounds and Kyle jumps to his feet, thrusting his fists in the air. MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 for Kyle.
Mike Kyle def. Marcos Rogerio de Lima via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)
Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante vs. Yoel Romero
Round 1: Romero dances around on the outside for the first minute of the fight, drawing boos from the Cincy crowd. Romero quiets them with a jumping front kick that comes up short, then goes back to disengaging. "Hit somebody!" shouts an audience member. He's not picky about who does the hitting at this point. Hard leg kick by Feijao and he tries to follow with a hook, but Romero dances away. Feijao moves in with a body shot and Romero sticks a left in his face, then postures as if to say, Is that it? The boos are raining down now. Another good leg kick from Feijao, but Romero is gone before he can follow with a right hand. Referee Dan Miragliotta pauses the bout, calls over Romero's translator, and tells him that if he doesn't fight he's going to lose a point. Not a great sign in the first round. After the restart Romero tries for a single-leg, but succeeds only in pulling Feijao on top of him. The boos come tumbling down once the horn sounds. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Feijao...I guess.
Round 2: Romero throws out a looping right to start the second, then, a few moments later, punts Feijao right in the groin. Feijao immediately reacts, and Romero insists on touching gloves as some sort of apology. Feijao takes only a fraction of his alloted five-minute recovery time, then it's back to work. Romero starts dropping levels in the center of the cage, nowhere near Feijao. Feijao slips off a kick attempt and Romero charges in. Romero opens up with punches and knees, a sudden violent flurry of activity. Feijao swings back and misses badly. Romero keeps the pressure on, then briefly puts him down with a double-leg. Feijao is in trouble, and suddenly it's a brand new fight. Feijao survives and comes back with a nice body kick once Romero has slowed. Romero poses, then shoots for a double-leg and gets slammed himself. They get back to their feet quickly, and Romero backs Feijao up against the fence and unloads, though he seems to be losing some of the zip from his punches. Feijao misses with a head kick, then follows with a spinning backfist that lands and puts Romero down. Feijao goes on the attack as Romero stumbles to his feet in the closing seconds of the round. Big knee and a hook from Feijao, and Romero staggers and falls again. He's laid out, and Feijao takes his time and plants him with a brutal right that bounces his head off the mat. Big Dan steps in just in time to stop the next one. Romero is out.
Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante def. Yoel Romero via KO (punch) at 4:51 of round two
Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos vs. Jordan Mein
Round 1: They trade a series of leg kicks right off the bat, then Mein connects with a nice left hand after slipping a Santos right. Santos stays with the leg kicks and spins Mein around a little bit with a particularly sharp one. Mein responds a few moments later by popping Santos' head back with a straight shot. Santos goes the body with a left and Mein sticks him again. Santos charges forward with a brutal leg kick that knocks Mein's legs out from under him, though he recovers quickly. Mein switches his stance up, which lets you know he's feeling those kicks to his left leg already. Looping right from Santos backs Mein up, but Santos can't follow with much before the round ends. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Santos.
Round 2: Mein tries to get busy with a leg kick of his own, and Santos answers by going high with a kick that grazes his chin. Mein switches his stance again and Santos starts hammering that leg. Mein comes back with a couple good lefts, one after the other, but Santos circles out of trouble and resets. Good straight right from Santos pops Mein's head back. Santos misses with a leg kick and Mein opens up with a flurry on punches as Santos covers up. Spinning back heel kick by Santos misses by a mile. They trade straight shots, jacking each other's jaw in turn. Spinning backfist attempt by Mein misses, so now they've each had their optimistic moment in this round. The horn sounds to end the round, and scattered boos come up from the crowd. MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 for Santos.
Round 3: Mein finds a bit of a rhythm with left hand counters to start the round, then Santos fires a head kick that's blocked, but still sends sweat flying off Mein's head. Mein lands several more left hand counters as Santos swings and misses, and Santos is hurt. Mein zeroes in with lefts and a hard right elbow. Santos is reeling. Mein follows and batters him with one right elbow after another. Santos is still on his feet, but doing nothing but covering up against the cage. He's clearly out of it, and the ref dives in to save him. Great win for Mein after some early struggles.
Jordan Mein def. Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos via TKO (elbows) at 3:18 of round three
Amanda Nunes vs. Alexis Davis
Round 1: Nunes comes out with a blistering right hand. Davis puts her head down and fires back, and right away it's a slugfest. Davis tries to clinch, but Nunes gets space and clips her with another right. Davis continues staying in close, trying to tie up, and Nunes fires short elbows while jockeying for position. Nunes grabs a single-leg in the clinch and puts Davis down. Davis works back to her feet as Nunes peppers her with short hammer fists. Davis fires off a two-punch combo that catches Nunes flush, but fails to slow her down very much. Nunes continues to swing from the outside, and Davis' face is showing the effects. They clinch against the cage, but Nunes has little problem bullying Davis in close. The horn sounds with Nunes working for another single-leg. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Nunes.
Round 2: They go right back to slugging it out in the center of the cage to start the second, but they soon end up back in the clinch, where Davis jumps for Nunes' back and ends up on her own back. She doesn't stay there long before getting back to her feet and attacking Nunes' thighs with knees in the clinch. The action stalls and the ref steps in to restart them. Again, this makes for a furious few seconds of striking before Davis gets back to the clinch and pushes Nunes against the fence. Nunes works toward the center of the cage and hip tosses Davis to the mat. Davis quickly gets the top position however and batters Nunes from the top position in the mount. Nunes turns to her stomach and Davis hammers her with both fists. Then ten-second warning sounds, but Davis keeps the pressure on and the ref stops it with just seconds left in the round.
Alexis Davis def. Amanda Nunes via TKO (punches) at 4:53 of round two
Dominique Steele vs. Chris Mierzwiak
Round 1: Steele comes forward and stings Mierzwiak with a straight left. Mierzwiak responds by shooting for the takedown, and in the ensuing scramble he locks up an inverted triangle choke from an unusual angle. Steele stays calm and escapes to his feet, inviting Mierzwiak to join him. Once back on the feet, it's Steele who seems to have the sharper hands, but Mierzwiak keeps trying to bring it to the mat. Steele rocks Mierzwiak with another hard shot, then drills him with a jumping knee before Mierzwiak shoots again. Mierzwiak can't finish the takedown, but back on the feet he rocks Steele for a but of turnabout, then takes his back standing and slams him to the mat. Mount by Mierzwiak, then he takes Steele's back but can't finish the choke. Steele gets back to his feet and they finish the round swinging away. Great start to the night. MMA Fighting scores the round 10-10.
Round 2: Jab from Steele to start the second. Both men showing signs of wear. Steels lands a nice hook and Mierzwiak looks for the takedown again, but can't finish it. Steele looking a little tired, but he shoots for a slow-motion double-leg and puts Mierzwiak on his back. Steele tries to go to work with ground-and-pound from the top, but Mierzwiak is threatening him with an active guard. Triangle attempt from Mierzwiak, and Steele slams his way out before passing to side control and peppering Mierzwiak with more punches. Mierzwiak gets to his feet with Steele stuck to his back, then turns and unloads. They're both swinging with abandon, and there's that jumping knee again from Steele. Steele lands a hard right hand and Mierzwiak crumples to the mat. Steele follows after a beat, but it looks like Mierzwiak will hang on to last the round. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Steele.
Round 3: They touch gloves to start the final round and the sparse crowd roars its appreciation. Grueling, gutsy fight so far from both men. A weary Mierzwiak clinches Steele against the fence. Just seconds ago his corner was imploring him to "finish this guy," but he might be just trying to last the distance at this point. Leg kick from Mierzwiak and Steele counters with a punch that forces Mierzwiak to his back, despite not landing all that cleanly. Mierzwiak uses an oma plata to go from bottom to top, but can't stay there long before Steele takes his back. They work to the feet and Steele throws the jumping knee yet again. "No more jump knees!" his corner shouts. Takedown by Steele, and Mierzwiak briefly thinks about a guillotine before abandoning the notion. Steels passes to side control, but gets overeager and gives up his back. Mierzwiak has his hooks in and his looking for the choke, but boy does he ever seem tired. Steele manages to turn into him and winds up back in Mierzwiak's guard in the final minute. They end that way, looking exhausted, but with good reason. MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 for Steele.
Dominique Steele def. Chris Mierzwiak via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-27, 29-27)

Oracea® - An Effective Treatment for Rosacea
Oracea® is the first and only oral therapy approved by the FDA to treat Rosacea, a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Oracea® is unique because it contains an anti-inflammatory dose of doxycycline. Unlike traditional doxycyclines, Oracea doesn't work by killing bacteria. It works by controlling inflammation. Oracea® is based on over 20 years of research in chemically modified tetracycline by researchers in the Department of Oral Biology and Pathology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Oracea® was exclusively licensed to CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals by The Research Foundation of State University of New York.
CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals was committed to the development of anti-inflammatory drugs based on chemically modified tetracycline (CMTs) which relied solely on the scientific expertise of researchers from Department of Oral Biology and Pathology from Stony Brook University. In February 2008, CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals was acquired by Galderma Pharma S.A., a global specialty pharmaceutical company focused on dermatology, for approximately $420 million.
ReoPro - The First Monoclonal Antibody Drug to Treat Cardiovascular Disease
ReoPro - Abciximab (previously known as c7E3 Fab) - is a glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor that binds to the GP IIb/IIIa receptor on the platelet, blocking interaction of fibrinogen with the GP IIb/IIIa receptor, the final common pathway to platelet aggregation. ReoPro is mainly used during and after coronary artery procedures like angioplasty to prevent platelets from sticking together and causing thromus formation within the coronary artery.
ReoPro was developed based on over 20 years of platelet research by researchers in the Department of Hematology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. ReoPro was exclusively licensed to Centocor of Malvern, Pa., USA by The Research Foundation of State University of New York, and is manufactured by Centocor, B.V., in Leiden, the Netherlands. Eli Lilly and Company markets and distributes the product worldwide except in Japan.
Biological Pacemaker
A long-term partnership with Boston Scientific has enabled faculty researchers at SUNY Stony Brook and Columbia University, to develop cell based biological pacemakers that will someday replace existing electronic pacemaker devices and optimize the therapeutic approach to cardiac pacing.
SUNY Stony Brook's Director of the Institute for Molecular Cardiology, Dr. Ira Cohen and Dr. Peter Brink, Chairman of the Department of Physiology and Biophysics have teamed with Columbia University's Director of the Center for Molecular Therapeutics, Dr. Michael Rosen and Columbia Professor of Pharmacology Dr. Richard Robinson to develop a gene and cell based biological pacemaker that varies the heart's beats to fit an individual body's needs, as required during variations in exercise or emotion.
This ground breaking technology utilizes a family of genes responsible for natural pacemaking that were packaged and delivered to the heart using adult human mysenchymal stem cells or a viral vector. The engineered stem cells, when placed in a localized region of the heart, electrically communicate directly with the surrounding endogenous heart tissue. This interaction stimulates the heart and generates a heartbeat similar to that of the heart's natural pacemaker. The viral vector/gene therapy approach uses the same pacemaker genes and results in the ectopic expression in endogenous cardiac muscle cells. These cells integrate the gene construct into the heart's natural electrical circuitry and produce an outcome similar to that generated by the stem cells.
Boston Scientific's commitment to the development and optimization of innovative cardiac treatments has resulted in numerous patented technologies created by the collaborative efforts of The New York State Research Foundation, researchers from SUNY Stony Brook's Department of Physiology and Biophysics and Columbia University's Department of Pharmacology.
Virtual Colonoscopy
Stony Brook University President, Shirley Strum Kenny announced today that Siemens Healthcare Sector of Germany has signed a landmark non-exclusive license agreement with the University. The license agreement is for the portfolio of innovations related to performing three-dimensional virtual examination, navigation and visualization, the most common use for which is "virtual colonoscopy." The fast, safe and cost effective procedure is based on patented diagnostic 3-D imaging software, techniques and a computer system developed by a Stony Brook University research team of computer-scientists and radiologists led by its inventor, Dr. Arie E. Kaufman, a Distinguished Professor and Chairman of the Department of Computer Science. It was first patented in 1996.
Dr. Arie Kaufman, Chairman of the Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University, showcases a 3-D image generated by the Virtual Colonoscopy software he invented with a team of computer scientists and radiologists at Stony Brook.
3-D Virtual Colonoscopy was approved for Colon Cancer Screening in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration in 2004. This innovative computer graphics technology puts computed tomography (CT) images of the patient's abdomen together into a high quality 3-D computerized model of the patient's colon. This allows a radiologist to virtually "fly through" the patient's colon, from beginning to end, and around all folds, seeing 100 percent of its surface as opposed to the estimated 77 percent with conventional colonoscopy, and thoroughly searching for polyps, the precursor of colon cancer, that are as small as a few millimeters. By contrast, a conventional colonoscopy using a fiber optic endoscope is invasive and expensive, and requires a day of preparation involving harsh laxatives and usually a day for the procedure since the patient must be sedated. A conventional colonoscopy also carries the risk of perforation of the colon wall and even a small risk of death.
Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide that claims about 677,000 men and women annually, according to the World Health Organization; more than 130,000 new cases are diagnosed every year in the United States. However, studies show that much more than half of all Americans 50 and older aren't getting colonoscopies, possibly because the procedure is scary, requires sedation and carries a tiny risk of bowel perforation.
New data published in the September 18 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine on the efficacy of CT colonographic screening (i.e., virtual colonoscopy screening) indicates that in a study of 2600 asymptomatic adults, 50 years of age or older, CT colonographic screening identified 90% of subjects with adenomas or cancers measuring 10 mm or larger in diameter. According to the authors, these findings augment published data on the role of CT colonography in screening patients with an average risk of colorectal cancer. And, according to a report in the October 28 edition of the Wall Street Journal, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the US Federal agency that administers Medicare and Medicaid, is conducting a review to determine if the cost of virtual colonoscopies should be covered. The article indicated that CMS will complete the review process by February 2009.
"The first study of results of virtual colonoscopy paid by insurance showed that only 6.4% of patients required follow up with optical colonoscopy for polyp removal," said Dr. Kaufmann. "Virtual colonoscopy is therefore poised to become the procedure of choice for mass screening for colonic polyps. If all patients 50 years of age and older will participate in these screening programs, over 92 percent of colorectal cancer will be prevented and more than 600,000 lives could be saved worldwide every year through this early detection," he said.
The procedure takes less than 15 minutes and typically requires the patient to drink a contrast solution, which eliminates the need for a harsh purgative prior to the scanning. The patient, without being sedated and after a small tube is inserted in the rectum to inflate the colon with CO2, lays on his/her back and then stomach while a CT scan takes pictures of the abdomen and pelvis in just several seconds. "Stony Brook's work on virtual colonoscopy is a great example of how research is and will be the key to economic vitality in New York State," said James Weyhenmeyer, Ph.D., Vice Provost for Research at the State University of New York. "Stony Brook's investment in Dr. Kaufman's work to bring it from the lab to the marketplace serves as a model for SUNY campuses and New York's leaders."

Leg side
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (April 2009)
The leg side, or on side, is defined to be a particular half of the field used to play the sport of cricket.
From the point of view of a right-handed batsman facing the bowler, it is the left hand side of the cricket field (being to the bowler's right). With a left-handed batsman the on side is to the batsman's right (and to the bowler's left).
A cricket field is notionally divided into two halves, by an imaginary line running down the long axis of the pitch. In normal batting stance, the striking batsman stands side on to the bowler. The leg side is the half of the field behind the batsman. The half of the field in front of him or her is called the off side.
In the picture, the bowler is bowling from the bottom half of the image, the right-handed batsman (S), facing him or her sideways on, has their legs more on the right side of the picture, the leg-side. If the ball goes down that side of the pitch it will be "on" the batsman's legs, the on side.
The definition is relative to the batsman. If the batsman were to directly face the bowler, the leg side would be:
- on the left side for a right-handed batsman, but
- on the right side for a left-handed batsman.
The leg side is usually less well defended with fielders than the off side, because of the typical line of attack of the bowlers, which is frequently on or outside off stump. This makes it more difficult to hit the ball to the leg side because it involves swinging the bat across the line of the ball, which can lead to mishits and catches.
While the terms "leg side" and "on side" can refer to an entire half of the field, each term is often used to denote only part of this half. When the batsman plays the ball into this half in front of the wicket, it is usually said that the ball has been played to the on side. However, when the ball is played into the region level with or behind the wicket, it is said that the ball has been played to the leg side. The names of fielding positions often include the words "leg" or "on", and they reflect this convention. For example fine leg is located behind the wicket, whereas mid on is located in front of it. When the batsman steps backwards from his normal batting stance on the crease as the ball is bowled, he is said to be moving towards the leg side.
Comparison with baseball[edit]
Since the leg side comprises the half of the field behind the batsman, with a right-handed batsman it is roughly analogous to the half of the baseball field that includes left field and third base. With a left-handed batsman, the leg side is analogous to the half that includes right field and first base. Thus we can say the off side is analogous to the side of the pitch that contains the strike zone, and the leg side is analogous to the side that doesn't. This latter comparison is independent of whether the batter is left or right-handed.
Whichever side of the wicket your legs are on is the 'leg' side.

Dear USA Cycling, NCNCA, team managers and race organizers,
Jim Langley and I are writing to ask you to please consider adding two new rules for District/State Championship Masters events. They are:
1) Masters age groups will ALWAYS be run separately, never combined. And mixing with other groups is strictly prohibited.
2) Racers from outside the official race district may race, however they can not factor in the official placings.
Both these things happened at this year's Age-Group Districts at Mount Hamilton. Many racers at the finish were frustrated at not placing where they felt they were capable of finishing had the races been held fairly, that is run separately instead of combing groups together and enforcing a "no mixing" rule with the penalty being disqualification or relegation to last place. In addition, at least one Southern California rider took a podium spot away from a NorCal District racer (second place in the 60+ went to someone from Malibu).
Because of time constraints, we realize it's not realistic to separate every single age-group by five minutes, so we propose separating the age-groups by a one to two minute gap. In the likely event that riders from different age-groups catch those that started before them, a strict rule of "no riding together" is enforced with severe penalties.
Taking a cue from the sport of triathlon, but modifying it just a bit for road racing, a ten meter or 30 foot minimum must be maintained at all times between riders from different groups. A rider has 30 seconds to pass someone from a different age-group or they must drop back and wait two minutes before trying again.
Unfortunately, this year's race organizers, in an understandable desire to minimize the "time spread" between the first to the last races of the day, combined several categories together. In addition, they allowed riders of different age groups to work together in the same race because enforcing a "no-mixing" rule would be impossible.
Because the 55+/60+ and 65+ groups were run as a combined race, and because working together between the age groups was perfectly legal, a "climbers" group led by the fastest 55s formed on the long climb to the top of Mount Hamilton and the winner of all 3 groups came out of this "climbers' group.
Had the groups been separated by one to two minutes and had the no-mixing rule been enforced, the outcome of the races would likely have been very different. A pure climber with a five minute lead at the top of Mount Hamilton would have a difficult time staying away by himself for the next 48 miles to the finish, especially since they are mostly downhill and flat miles, usually into a stiff headwind.
But, a pure-climber who reaches the top with a five-minute lead in the company of the strongest climbers from the other age groups, would have to be a poor descender or be very weak on the flats not to stay with the main peloton to the finish, giving no chance for the others in his age group to catch up.
But, more importantly, this year's race would have been a true State Championships for each group, a man to man contest in its purest form.
Instead, this year's Northern California-Nevada District Championship was a combined age-group race favoring the pure climbers who, hung to the top with the fastest climbers from the other categories, and then rode the "train" all the way to the finish line.
Please understand, that apart from the Masters Nationals, there is no more-important event on the NCNCA racing calendar than the Northern California-Nevada State Cycling Championship. Winning the title of State Champion entitles you to wear the custom jersey and earn free entry into the next year's races. We, and most Masters we know train and race but mainly only dream of winning the State title since the competition is so tough. But, it's a huge goal and an all-important race and we target it all year long.
What's more, this dream/drive to win doesn't go away as we age. On the contrary, it often gets more and more intense because we older athletes are more aware that our racing days are numbered.
We believe that it's essential to employ these two rules in order to stage a fair race, ensure true results and allow riders with different strengths a fair chance to win the most prestigious race on the NCNCA calendar, the Northern California-Nevada District Championship Race.

NEW: Rep. Lombardi Calls for Fox's Resignation
Friday, March 21, 2014
"I think he's got to go," said Lombardi. "How can he not?"
"You need to ask, "How has this worked out for you?" It hasn't worked out for us, it's time for a change," said Lombardi. "It's time to bring in people not associated with leadership."
Lombardi wouldn't speculate on whether Fox was in fact out at this point. The U.S. Attorney's office confirmed there is an ongoing law enforcement matter for which they executed two search warrants, but stopped short of saying there was an investigation of Fox. The office did confirm the matter involves the State Police, the FBI, and the IRS.
Multiple sources have said the House Democrats are going on be holding a caucus at 5:30 P.M. today at the Providence Marriott on Orms Street; Lombardi said as of 3:30 PM, he hadn't heard anything. "That's news to me," said Lombardi.
Who's Looking to Take Top Spot
"It's all just rumors at this point," said Lombardi. "I'm hearing tthere's [House Majority Leader Nicholas] Mattiello and [Joseph] McNamara, then there's [Chris] Blazejewski, [Stephen] Ucci, and [Helio] Melo."
"Fox has the term for two more years. He's not necessarily going anywhere -- yet. I've heard Patty O'Neil's interested, Charlene Lima, Karen MacBeth, John DeSimone, " said Lombardi, of potential replacements for Speaker Fox's position.
Lombardi continued, "The only people that are in jeapordy are leadership. You're either with them, or you're with the people with the State of Rhode Island. There's only one guy who's been through this before, and that's me. I was at the heart of Plunderdome -- there's a presumption of innocence, but the appearance of impropriety."

A nice store, with lots of over price hippy stuff. BUT, when it comes to the Beer selection, is very good. Lots of belgians and a nice selection of texan brews (nice to see that!) ... The prices can be high but seeing some of the beers they bring in and it being Austin, not that unreasonable... Have also have a great wine selection and some expensive good food ... went with Hans + Ans....
Overall feeling on my visit: Like others have said, Is like most other Central Market stores and being based in Austin this store gets a good selection of brews that should not disappoint any true beer lover!

This is a very nice grocery store (like a Sendik's here in WI or a Wegman's in DC) with quite a nice beer selection. There was a good representation of TX craft beers, some other gems (like Stone, which we don't have here in WI), and quite a few imports. The selection was pretty big, but I wasn't all that interested in most of the selection...there just wasn't much that was unusual or out of the ordinary here.
I didn't try to pull singles out of six-packs at this store. I didn't see any other shoppers doing this, there weren't any empty six-pack carriers hanging around, and all the six-packs present were whole (they all had six beers in them). There weren't a lot of singles here; a few 22oz bottles and half-liters which were mostly imports and this left me a bit disappointed.
The store is immaculate, had a lot of hot food ready to go in a cafe setting (I visited during lunchtime and this was very popular). Quite a nice store, but wouldn't necessarily be my first stop for craft beer shopping.

Central Market is a grocery store that also has a nice selection of beer and wine. This review is for the S. Lamar location, not the N. Lamar location that is listed in BeerFly. The wine and beer sections are located towards the back right corner of the store in relation to the entrance.
Quality - All of the beer storage and display here was in refrigerated shelving units that formed an "L" around a portion of the wine selection. The temperature was not set too low, but it was cooler than the surrounding store in the beer area and should be adequate to keep the warm Texas weather from affecting the beer. Some of the beer that we purchased from this store had gone bad by the time we opened it, unfortunately. I do not know if that was the result of transporting it back home, storage conditions at home, old supply, or some other storage conditions previous to purchase. Luckily it was only a portion of the total purchases that were bad, but it was definitely a disappointment.
Service - While we were shopping, we happened to run into the managers of the beer section who were running inventory and getting ready to order the next season's seasonals. Both guys were very knowledgeable and helpful, and didn't mind answering any of the questions we had about their suppliers.
Selection - There was a good variety of beverages available, with an entire row of shelving reserved for local Texas brews like Shiner and Independence. There was a decent selection of Belgians from Affligem, Leffe, Rochefort, Chimay, Koningshoeven, and others, as well as a nice variety of Youngs, Wells, and other English breweries. Most beers were in three, four, or six packs and couldn't be broken down individually, but there were multiple larger single bottles available too. The prices were a little high for some things, but very reasonable for other items.
The trip to Central Market capped off our weekend in Austin quite nicely. The next time I'm there visiting with friends, I will definitely have to stop by the N. Lamar location and see if it is as good an experience as the S. Lamar location was.

the central market beer section is divided into two coolers. one for six packs and one for individual bottles. there is also a small section of 12 oz bottles at the front.
good quality of beers. nothing you couldnt find at most stores but still impressive for a super market.
ive only encountered a beer guy once out of the many times ive been but the store is so huge i didnt really expect anything else.
pretty big selection. only problem is all the new, limited beers fly away because they put all of them on the shelves. nice rotation of seasonals and new beers.
the section in the front is usually where i lurk theres usually a few good bottles for 1.99 a piece. its definately worth checking out.

Well I stopped in because of a tip from a few fellow BA's and I have to say I wasn't at all disappointed. They had a great selection although some of the areas seemed really disorganized but I could still easily find everything I wanted.
The staff seemed to do their best to avoid me which was kinda annoying but when someone finally talked to me he seemed like he knew his stuff.
Central markets prices were also pretty competitive and I found some stuff that was long gone from the other stores and aside from most of the staff trying to dodge me it was a pretty good experience, if I'm downtown and wanting to pick up some beer this will be my first stop.
Note: I like that the beer is right next to the cheese section, makes it super easy to grab a beer and pair it with some cheese.

I love the Central Market store in Houston and was happy to check this one out while on vacation. Of the beer stores I went in Austin this is the best of the bunch, their selection is outstanding and consists almost solely of imports and craft brew. Service wasn't amazing, but then again I didn't ask for help. The employees at least had their personal beer picks which were listed near the price tags. Central Market may be a tab bit on the expenisive, but I guess it is understandable because of the huge selection and other rare food items in the store. The only other problem I had with the store is that it is almost a labyrinth and takes some getting used to when finding your way towards something in the least amount of time.

Not too far from the Draught House is this central market. They have a very good beer selection, there are other places in Austin that have better selections, but for a grocery store it is very good. This specific location has a better selection then the south store. The problem with Central Markets in general is that they some what over charge for their products. I've noticed HEB brand products at Central Market before and they were more expensive then they were at HEB (HEB owns Central Market). Their beer has the same issue. A lot of times they have beers that other places sell and they are slightly more expensive. The nice thing about Central Markets is that every now and then they have a sell on beer. I believe it's 25% off of $25 or more in beer, 15% off of $25-15 and 10% of $15-10. I don't normally shop there for beer, unless I'm leaving the Draught House and I know they have something I want and I know it's the same price elsewhere.

one of the best beer spots to hit in Austin. much better selection and sometimes price than any Specs or other grocery store in the area.
during my last short trip there, the 'beer guy' was walking around and helped two other people make their selections. i didn't need any help, but he was there anyway, and he kept a good distance once i told him i didn't need help. this is a big plus, as i have been literally followed or watched by (i can only assume bored) beer managers before. from what i overheard, however, he was very helpful to the other customers and knew what he was talking about.
selection is one of the best in town. they have a ton of seasonals (even some that Whip In didn't have). i saw no bud, miller, or coors, which was somewhat surprising. there were a few beers there that i haven't seen anywhere else in town like DFH Fort and a full line up of Stone. they even have a Texas beers section at the front, which i like, because i like to support local breweries. this is where they keep the Saint Arnold, Shiner, Real Ale, Independence, and a few others.
prices are average, and they have a mix six option for a flat $1.99 a beer, which is an overcharge for some beers in my opinion (my girl loves drifter pale ale and wanderlust cream ale), is quite a deal for other beers like Stone and DFH. i guess it all evens out at the register, though.

Late last week, hundreds of Kindle owners picked up their e-book readers and discovered two of the books they'd purchased were missing. Was it a software glitch or a hardware failure? Had some hacker broken into the Kindle store and figured out how to access the devices? Nope. The thief was Amazon itself.
The store's digital rights management apparatus had reached into the homely little gadgets via their always-available Sprint Whispernet connections and erased the books. Apparently the publisher who sold the books did not have the rights to them. So Amazon "unsold" them.
Here's the best part: The books that got flushed down the memory hole were none other than George Orwell's "Animal Farm" and "1984." Oops.
[ Last month, Amazon opened up the Kindle's source code. | Stay up to date on Robert X. Cringely's musings and observations with InfoWorld's Notes from the Underground newsletter. ]
If Amazon's intent was to demonstrate the Orwellian evil that is digital rights management, it couldn't have picked a better way to do it. (And talk about a gift to the world's headline writers.)
Shortly after this amazing display of cluelessness, Amazon got its irony detection system back online and announced that a) it was refunding the cost of the books (a whopping 99 cents apiece) to Kindle owners who mistakenly thought they owned the books they just bought; and b) it wouldn't pull this stunt again. Or, at least, not in exactly the same way. Lastly, the company apologized deeply for being total jerks.
I'm just kidding about that last bit. Amazon apologize? Don't be ridiculous.
It gets worse. In yanking the books out of its customers' e-libraries, Amazon appears to have broken the Kindle's own terms of service. Per the New York Times' Brad Stone:

Sometimes good people make bad choices. It's a part of life because we are human.
Yet, over the past decade, characters doing just that have become the focus of many television dramas. Why are antiheroes as a character archetype so abundant and popular on the small screen?
In the entertainment world, we are usually asked to identify and aspire to be like the hero. The proverbial villain is generally pitted as the main obstacle. But this black-and-white model of good prevailing over evil no longer resonates with today's audiences. Moral ambiguity is intriguing. People are connecting with severely flawed protagonists.
To find out why, consider the configuration of current antiheroes. They convey an interesting and far more complex character study in media because the notion of conclusive morality is put into question:
- Antiheroes are both good and bad. They usually possess some of the same noble and even extraordinary qualities of the archetypal hero, but may also exhibit certain traits of an antagonist (although in stark contrast with the archetypal villain).
- Waters run deep. They are usually driven to madness by trauma or circumstances beyond their control.
- They are capable of eliciting empathy or reverence in their journeys.
Television's long-form and episodic format (multiple episodes and seasons) provides the necessary arc to fully appreciate the tribulations of antiheroes. Viewers see their transformative disintegration unfold within a darker world week after week. Television can also easily include fresh and influential shifts in society and popular culture, making it an ideal conduit for this type of character to emerge.
Take Walter White of Breaking Bad: an average family man, good guy and brilliant chemist who has been dealt quite a few bad hands in his life. When diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, he realizes he has nothing to leave his family after he's gone. He decides to use his only asset — chemistry — to make enough crystal meth to ensure his role as father and provider remains intact. He uses the societal pressure to be the "breadwinner" to justify his bad decisions.
Why do we feel for characters like Walter? Part of it may reflect the changing nature of the news and its unrelenting saturation of events that uncover the darker side of even the most powerful. We still expect those in positions of power to do what's right for the common good, but the news reveals the contrary:
- General David Petraeus scandal
- Government inaction over criminal investigations of Wall Street
- A real-life scenario of a chemistry teacher breaking bad
Our concept of the dynamic between hero and villain as separate entities has been chipped away to reveal a singular individual as one and the same. In the real world, if our standard role models no longer adhere to our heroic ideal, the antihero serves to subvert it. This new character paradigm has grown largely complex but has done so as a more accurate representation of a moral framework in which to follow.
We initially root for such characters as Walter to succeed, even when they do wrong with the best of intentions. But once they cross the line over to villainy, we relish in dissecting the nuances of their journey into madness. Antiheroes straddle the rather murky areas of human behavior because they continually confront the pains of identity crises and disintegrating social structures, much like what we see in the news everyday.
The rapid development of the "antihero" can be traced to the era of film noir. At its core, noir focused on social and economic inequalities through the identity crises of protagonists who succumbed to their dark urges because the American Dream had failed them. The very same anxieties exist today in our post-9/11 world but the expectations aligned with the American Dream no longer exist. It has failed us all.
Antiheroes are more like us. They, like us, are trying to regain the Dream. When they finally venture down the really darkened path we had hoped they wouldn't take it, it is a constant reminder of how many of us could do the same.

MAZOMANIE (WKOW) -- The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is limiting access to Mazomanie Beach in an effort to curb illicit sex in public.
As of this week, the entire property, including the beach, islands off the beach and wooded areas will be closed Monday through Friday until September 15th. The beach will be open for public recreation on Saturdays and Sundays from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. throughout the year.
DNR officials say they're hoping to make Mazomanie Beach along the lower Wisconsin River a more safe and enjoyable environment for the public.
"It is clear from our records that the majority of illicit activity is taking place on weekdays. Along with the closure we will add extra law enforcement presence," says DNR Conservation Warden Nate Kroeplin.
The closure is an expansion of existing limitations of the wooded areas surrounding the beach put in place over the past few seasons in an attempt to curb sexual activity, drug use, cruising for sex and other complaints.

The Miami Heat practiced in Phoenix Monday in preparation for a matchup with the Suns Tuesday, and after they were done it was time for the LeBron James show.
Tickets were not required.
The 10-time All-Star, nine-time All-NBA team member, four-time league MVP, two-time NBA champion and three-time Olympic gold medalist threw down one impressive dunk after another, much to the delight of all who were in attendance.
Of course, it took some prodding from Heat coach Erik Spoelstra to get the attention on King James' dunkathon.
"Well you guys are missing a show, are you sure you want to interview me while this is going on," he asked.
Point taken.
"We had a great practice," James said when asked what prompted him to do it. "It just felt good."

CATEGORIES Drama, Celebrities and Controversy, Distribution, Newsstand, Movies, CinematicalIt's been so long since we discussed Hounddog that it seemed like the film had already come and gone without a whisper. Not quite. The infamous Dakota Fanning movie that caused many waves for a controversial rape scene was planning to hit theaters on July 15. Now a new press release says the film will hit theaters starting September 5, where they are hoping to get the surprisingly high gross of $15 million before hitting shelves on DVD on January 20, 2009.
But that's not all. The company says that along with cross-promotion with other titles, it will "be supported with national television and radio ads, a consumer sweepstakes, and in-store merchandising." Defamer has mused about a whole Simpsons/7-11 approach with "Hounddog Sex Shacks," but the snark is not that big of a jump.
Whether warranted or not, the film has ruffled the feathers of many people, and it seems surprising that sweepstakes and in-store merchandising are being thrown into the mix. Hell, push aside the unrest and just think about the initial response. When Kim reviewed it from Sundance way back when, she said: "Hounddog is also one of the least likeable films I've seen here at Sundance -- and not, as you might expect, merely because it has a scene of the young actress being violently raped."
How far will they take it? We'll have to wait and see.

It seems like only yesterday that we went live with our web-based HR system. It was called the Guard Human Resources Management System (CGHRMS). That was 31 July 2001. In e-Mail ALPERSRU message P/01 we said:
"CGHRMS is being upgraded to the latest version of PeopleSoft Human Resources Management software. It is a thin client, HTML-based application. All functions are accessed over the intranet (CGWEB) using a web browser. No software, beyond the Coast Guard Standard Workstation bundle, is required to be installed on the client computer. Self-Service, PERSRU and Unit applications all use the same interface."
Not long after the implementation we started calling the system Direct Access, but not much else about the look and feel of the system has changed. Nine years is a long, long time for a computer interface to go without improvement. Oracle (the vendor for our PeopleSoft HR system) has made significant progress in improving the product's usability. They've introduced a new interface that's friendlier and easier to navigate. Our first step in upgrading Direct Access to the current version of PeopleSoft is to implement the PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal.
The Direct Access user interface will be updated late next month with the implementation of the PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal.
Self-Service and Command users will have one-click access to the applications they use most frequently.
Assignment Officers, users at Servicing Personnel Offices and others with more than Self-Service or Command access will find the old Direct Access cascading style menus have been replaced with the new Enterprise Menu.
The portal's web address (URL) is https://portal.direct-access.us/.
Like Direct-Access, the portal is accessible from any computer with an internet connection.
The following video-demos and quick reference guides demonstrate just how easy it is to get around in the new portal:
With the implementation of the portal we are running two versions of PeopleSoft (8.0 & 9.1). Version 8.0 is no longer supported and we are in the process of migrating Coast Guard applications and data to version 9.1. The portal ties both of these versions together. However, there has been some confusion. Many users have contacted us about their worklist. They receive system generated e-mails informing them of a new entry on their worklist, but when they access the system the worklist is blank. This is because the application that generated the worklist entry is a version 8.0 application (Employee Review, Reserve Orders, Reserve IDT Drills, Employee Entitlements are all examples of version 8.0 applications) but the user has accessed the version 9.1 worklist. Please be sure you are accessing the version 8.0 worklist by using the "Direct Access Worklist" link in the "Common Links" box, which appears just above the Enterprise Menu on the portal home page. There are more links to the 8.0 worklist available as illustrated in the graphic below.
PPC is aware of time out issues within MyPortalDirect and the Forgot my password option. If you continue to have timeout issues for Direct Access (DA) transactions, please use the "Direct Access Content" link under the Enterprise menu. For Forgot my Password issues, please submit a help ticket from the PPC Customer Care web page with a description of the step you are taking, and the text of the error received so we can investigate further.
The ability to have reports delivered via email will soon be removed from the Direct Access system. This change is necessary to prevent personally identifiable information (PII) from being sent to non-government email accounts. If you are a user of any of the following reports you should familiarize yourself with Using the Process Scheduler Web Option to view, print, or save your reports.
The MyPortalDirect launch page provides an overview of the Direct Access Portal interface and instructions for navigating the system.
The Change Email Address page provides the procedure for entering or updating your system e-mail address.
The Pay & Personnel Center Direct-Access and T-PAX Password Assistance page provides step-by-step procedures for setting up the forgotten password reset feature in Direct Access.
The Tech Refresh is series of technology refresh projects designed to facilitate the transition to the newer version of PeopleSoft software (Migrating from version 8.0-"Direct Access I" to version 9.1- "Direct Access II"). This transition will culminate with the implementation of PeopleSoft Global Payroll replacing the Joint Uniform Military Pay System (JUMPS).

The Education of Abigail Powers Fillmore
Abigail Powers is known most famously for creating a library in the White House. Like Laura Bush, she was a teacher, and she developed a love of books very early in her life. Unlike Abigail Adams, Abigail Powers did attend a school—New Hope Academy, in New York State. But she began teaching at 16!

Why Do We Have Libraries?
Abigail Fillmore was very interested in books and libraries, as is First Lady Laura Bush. Mrs. Fillmore actually created the first White House library, a contribution for which she is remembered today.

Popular Heroes of the 1800s
Just as there are popular cultural heroes in the twenty-first century, the 1800s had cultural heroes, too. Often raised to the status of legend, these men and women served as examples to a young nation. As a teacher and librarian, Abigail Fillmore would have told some of these stories and worked with written material about them.

So! You Want to Start Your Own Political Party?
The first half of the 19th century was a time when a number of small, issue-oriented political parties were founded. One of these, the so-called "Know-Nothing" Party, ran Millard Fillmore for re-election in 1856.

What? No Books in the White House?
When Abigail and Millard Fillmore moved into the White House, they found that there were no books in the house. Both of them were real lovers of books, and both set about to create a White House library—for themselves and for future Presidential families.

The Romance of the Clipper Ship
Although the steam ship came into use during Abigail Fillmore's lifetime, it was the Clipper Ship—those ships we now call "Tall Ships"—that carried most of the cargo and certainly captured the imagination of the population. Travel to Europe, around the horn (Cape Horn, before the Panama Canal was built) to California, to the south seas—all was done on the large and beautiful sailing ships, called Clipper Ships because they were so fast.

A Star-Studded Senate: The Compromise of 1850
The Compromise of 1850 was an omnibus bill that the Congress passed with the strong support of then-President Millard Fillmore, in the hope of preserving the Union. Interestingly, his wife, Abigail just as strongly counseled against his supporting it, saying it would cost him the next election. It did.

Lady Lovelace and the Computer
In 1834, while Millard Fillmore served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Abigail and the two children lived in Washington, an English inventor named Charles Babbage designed what he called an analytical engine—in fact, the first effort to build a computer. It is unknown whether the Fillmores knew of this invention; perhaps they did. It is pretty clear, however, that even if they had known about it, they would not have thought it was of much importance. No one really did, except Lady Lovelace.

"Save Us From the Mischiefs and Scandals of an Uncultivated Offspring!"
One of the things that sets Abigail Fillmore apart from other First Ladies is that she was responsible for establishing the first library in the White House. Libraries, then as now, were important educating institutions, and she saw a real need to stock a respectable number of different kinds of books in the "President's house."

The Cincinnati Reds had a commanding two-game advantage over the San Francisco Giants in their National League Division Series matchup, but the Giants made an improbable comeback and ended the Reds' season on Thursday. Reds fans ran the gamut of emotions, from shock to anger to resignation. Well, they ran the gamut of negative emotions, anyway. Here is a sample, courtesy of SB Nation's Reds affiliate, Red Reporter:
Ok, I've decided how to feel
I'm going to finish up my day at work. I'm going to put on my Reds jersey and take the bus home. And I'm going to be very quiet. It was a great season, with a hurtful finish. Still proud of the team, and we'll see what next season brings.
Unless the Cardinals win again, because in that case, fuck baseball.

Well, guys and gals
It was a wondrous season in so many ways. I wanted to say thanks to you all. I got diagnosed with Parkinson's in April. My world crashed into a dark black pit of depression for about a month. This site, with all the great, witty and wise characters here, really helped me pull out of that spiral. I came here most every day, usually multiple times, and it never failed to cheer me up, make me laugh.That, and a fantastic run by my beloved Reds. That run after the ASG was about as good it gets in this game. It's too bad we couldn't take that far into the playoffs, but I am thankful for this season anyway.
Thanks again – it's been a great year.
