Know the "no zone"
The "no zone" is the area near a large truck's side and rear where cars seem to disappear from the truck driver's sight into blind spots. Be particularly careful about lingering in that zone beside a truck. If the driver needs to change lanes and can't see you, you're in danger. You also can be in danger in the zone just behind the truck. Tailgating there not only hides you from the driver's view but also radically reduces your view of traffic ahead.
When passing a truck, avoid cutting in front of it too soon, then abruptly slowing down because the large vehicle can't slow down or navigate as easily as you can. Just maintain your speed and wait until you can clearly see the front of the truck in your rearview mirror before shifting back into the other lane.

Two of America's larger problems could cancel each other out: Rising gas prices and rising weight. Some economists and public health researchers believe that if higher gas prices convince people to walk more and drive less, it will be better for the environment, and help combat our obesity epidemic. One economist, Charles Courtemanche at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, even put a number on this phenomenon: A $1 dollar increase in gas prices equals a 10 percent drop in obesity, plus $11 billion in health savings. Is $5-a-gallon gas our path to a healthier future?
Of course. If we walk more, we'll be thinner: Rising gas prices really might be a sort of "cure for obesity," says Kelly Hodgkins at Gizmodo. And Courtemanche isn't the only economist convinced of the driving-obesity link. Another study found that if U.S. drivers cut their daily driving commute by just one mile, to 36 miles a day, and walked that last mile instead, five million of us would be "slim and trim by 2017." The wild card is whether Americans would really "break out their sneakers to save a few bucks on gas."
"Are rising gas prices a cure for obesity?"
Let's not jump to conclusions yet: It is indisputable that Americans are driving more, and that they are getting fatter, says The Economist. And if you graph those variables, there's "a near-perfect correlation." But there's also one "strong caveat: Correlation does not equal causation." There are obviously other factors feeding the obesity epidemic, notably diet. Still, Americans have started driving less as gas rises, so if there's a link, obesity rates should start falling soon.
"Road hogs"
Rising gas prices alone won't cure obesity: It's pretty clear that the gradual shift from walking and biking to driving, "even on short errands," has at least contributed to the rise in obesity, says Joseph Bednar at BusinessWest. And "the benefits of hoofing it or pedaling extend beyond obesity prevention," to heart disease, breast cancer, and diabetes. But it will take more than gas prices to get people to switch. Businesses, for instance, can do their part by coming up with incentives to bike to work.

CSU unveils Colorado Futures Center
Send this to a friend
- Staff Denver Business Journal
Two key figures at the Center for Colorado's Economic Future at the University of Denver have moved over to Colorado State University.
Charles Brown, director of DU's center, is now director of the Colorado Futures Center, which CSU has opened at its Denver Center, 475 17th St.
Phyllis Resnick, formerly the lead economist for the Center for Colorado's Economic Future and lately an independent consultant, will serve as lead economist at the Colorado Futures Center.
Brown served in state government for 29 years before retiring in January 2004 and forming his own consulting company. He spent the last 17 years of his time with Colorado government as executive director of the Legislative Council.
"We're extremely pleased to welcome Charlie and the staff of the Colorado Futures Center to Colorado State University," CSU President Tony Frank said in a statement. "Charlie has a tremendous history of providing thorough, nonpartisan and rigorous analyses of public policies that affect every corner of Colorado. I'm confident the Colorado Futures Center will be a meaningful and substantive resource for all who care about preserving Colorado's quality of life and long-term competitiveness."
Among the tasks the Colorado Futures Center will undertake are the long-term impacts of economic trends and public policy developments on Colorado.

Rudi Permana's curator insight, October 3, 2013 10:04 AM
Sometimes we often forget to take lessons from the process (playing the game) or experience (in the real life) that we've been through.
Linda Dougherty's curator insight, August 12, 12:37 AM
Need an idea for team-building with your students for those first days of school? These are classic ice-breaker activities any grade level can enjoy.

Buona base di partenza, da approfondire e contestualizzare
John Bostock's curator insight, October 10, 2013 8:38 AM
A very interesting article that raises the issue of ownership and use of teaching materials. It suggests they may increasingly be held by commercial companies (such as Pearson OpenClass) unless university libraries take a more active role in curation, archiving and ensuring accessibility. Add into this debate the rise of Open Educational Resources and you have a very potent set of issues concerning for instance, power, academic freedom, intellectual property rights management, student and teacher privacy......

Michael Beatty pledges inclusive construction process at Harbor Point

Minority-owned businesses are signaling Harbor Point developer Michael Beatty will face pressure to meet minority participation goals on the $1 billion project.
Beatty on Tuesday answered questions about his plans to hire minority-owned and women-owned businesses during an African American Real Estate Professionals meeting. Attendees complained Beatty didn't do enough to ensure information was provided in a timely way to minority-owned firms during the construction of Harbor East.
Beatty acknowledged "we certainly haven't been perfect on our projects," but pledged to get information out to prospective bidders earlier.
Harbor East was more or less completed with the opening of the Legg Mason tower in 2009. Now, as Beatty sets his sights on construction of the Exelon Corp. building at Harbor Point this fall, interest in bidding on that building and future construction at the site is peaking.
"One of the problems that always happens, whether it's construction hiring, whether it's local hiring, whether it's union participation, a lot of times we start the process too late and then it's catch-up," Beatty said. "We've worked on starting it earlier."
Starting this month, Beatty said he plans to hold town hall-style meetings for prospective bidders on the Exelon Corp. building to help firms understand timelines and requirements for the project.
But Wayne R. Frazier, the president of Maryland Washington Minority Contractors Association Inc., said town hall meetings are not proactive enough.
"He needs to do a minority outreach where we know what trades will be needed," Frazier said. "If we dont' get it right now, it won't ever get done right."

CARDIFF (AFP) - Germany manager Joachim Loew has insisted he's not asked misfiring forward Mario Gomez to seek psychiatric help in a bid to cure the Stuttgart striker's problems in front of goal.
Gomez has not scored for his country for over a year, a run of 13 games, and was booed off by fans in Leipzig last weekend after failing to find the target in a 4-0 win over minnows Liechtenstein.
But Loew said he intended to play Gomez in Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Wales here at the Millennium Stadium.
"I have not asked Gomez to see a psychiatrist, it is something for him to decide if he takes advantage of the squad's psychiatrist," Loew told reporters here on Tuesday.
"I have spoken to Mario a couple of times since the weekend, just to see how he feels and he is calm and collected about things.
"He was disappointed with himself and with the fans who booed him off the pitch. But he is okay now about things. I told him we were happy with his work-rate and effort and that being a striker is not all about scoring goals.
"He has to set up chances for others and work for the team, and he is doing that. But he is not dejected, he is a good professional and you can bet on me playing him against Wales.
"He is getting plenty of support from inside the camp, he has certainly not been 'hung out to dry' in terms of taking criticism.
"We have told him we are happy with him and the work he puts in, sacrificing himself for the team."

Greater Charlotte Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA (Charlotte Observer) - The Greater Charlotte Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a small nonprofit established in 2010, already is making a big difference in the lives of dogs and cats in Mecklenburg and nearby counties.
Founder and President Alex Wilson, 42, started the all-volunteer organization in response to a need. The organization is an independent animal rescue, not affiliated with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a national group Wilson says doesn't directly affiliate with other SPCAs nationwide.
Wilson's Greater Charlotte SPCA provides foster homes and arranges veterinary care for homeless animals until permanent homes can be found, educates the public on humane pet ownership and promotes spaying and neutering.
"We get our pets from just about every situation," said Wilson. Some are strays found in parking lots; others are released from high-kill shelters into the group's custody. Still others are surrendered by owners.
As for owner surrenders, numerous situations can lead someone to give up an animal. One is a mismatch between the breed and owner expectations, which is why Wilson advocates doing research before adopting.
"They definitely want to think about the breed. Ask different people who've had the breed if that fits their type of criteria," she said.
The goal for adoptions is a good fit. "We want them to be happy, and we want the pet to be happy," said Wilson.
Adoption events are held in downtown Matthews and at the Cotswold PetSmart store and other venues, said Wilson.
All the animals are fostered by volunteers. The organization has no shelter to house animals. There are advantages to this approach, says Wilson, because it means animals are well-adjusted.
"It gets them to be more successful when they're adopted, because they know how to live in a house," she said.
Some of the animals have survived heart-rending circumstances. Louis, a black Labrador retriever/hound mixed-breed dog, was shot twice with a .22-caliber rifle. Wilson knew only that the dog had difficulty walking before x-rays revealed he had a couple bullets in a back leg and front paw. Time will tell how much surgery he requires to repair the remaining damage; for now, he's recuperating well and ready for a good home.
The group needs monetary donations and items like clean blankets, comforters and towels - used are OK - to provide animal bedding. There's a need for volunteers in various roles, from transporting animals to helping with weekend adoption events. A fundraising coordinator is especially needed: The organization has funding ideas but no one to carry them out.
Wilson says her commitment to animals sprang from adversity in her own life. She's had several bouts with cancer and other serious illness.
Though cancer is a terrible experience, she says, "It does have many blessings. It makes you understand your priorities."

« Obama supporters and the "Lazio effect" | Main | Well, Now He Gets to Wear it On His Jersey: Chad Johnson Legally Changes His Name to Chad Ocho Cinco »
August 29, 2008
And the Hunt Is On!
Lefties are furiously scouring the internet for Sarah Palin's old position papers on NAFTA.
Just kidding. They say they want to keep the debate elevated and discuss the issues, but that is, of course, like so much of what they say, an utter lie. Mitigated only by the fact they're so self-deluded about their own righteous virtue and lofty intellectualism they almost believe it themselves.
So what are they looking for?
Well, check out the search which just landed on my site. And the various lefty sites encouraging searching in this direction.
Here's an example from Craigslist...
got a be a pic out there somewhere. Will the religious hardliners vote for a woman that was in a swimsuit competition?
But the lefty blogs are alive with the hopes of a swimsuit pic that will disgust all of us crazy vagina-fearing right-wingers.
Stay classy, left wing. Stay classy, and stay deluded.
Do you honestly fucking believe anyone's going to be put off by a young woman wearing a fucking swimsuit?
Projection ain't just a river in Egypt.
The Obamabots really aren't going to try to reverse that reputation for misogyny any time soon.
Friendly Fire: No pics of Sarah Palin in scandalous beachwear yet, but some minor collateral damage inflicted -- CNN reporter John Roberts, back in the eighties, in Toronto, I think, hosting some stupid teenage video show or somethin'.
But lookin' cool.
You search for one of ours in a swimsuit, we post one of yours in Huey Lewis hand-me-downs. And that's the Chicago way.
Surely no leftwinger could ever trust someone who once wore a mullet.
Thanks to Rev. E. Buzz Miller and CJ.
SHAME SHAME SHAME!!! The extra caps are for extra outrage.
Persistent Ain't They? Another google hit, now for "Sarah Palin bikini."
Internet detectives or just horndogs?
And More and More: Sarah Palin swimsuit; Sarah Palin wore a bikini.
I have to point out these are all different searches, conducted at different times. The same idiot can't keep clicking on my site thinking suddenly I'm going to have the bikini pics I didn't have the other three times.
So, I guess I'm going to keep getting hits for Sarah Palin swimsuit competition searches, with people searching for hot pictures of Sarah Palin in a bikini, or even totally hot gubernatorial action.
It's ridiculous. It's not like Governor Sarah Palin once posed for Victoria's Secret wearing nothing but high heels and a clown nose or something.
I'm just saying, whatever you do, if you want to avoid unwanted Google interlopers, don't post anything about Sarah Palin and her secret bikini pictures, Sarah Palin and the "Air Force Two," or homoerotic pillowfights between Governor Sarah Palin and Smurfette.
