998cc, 157.75bhp, 185mph, Insurance group 17
Not much has changed with the 2012 R1, but the big news is it now has a six-stage traction control system, incorporating anti-wheelie in its two most intrusive levels. It also has a restyled nose, a slotted YZR-M1-style top yoke and a longer, softer rear shock. The changes aren't enough to compete with the new-generation of hardcore superbikes, like the ...
898cc, 105bhp, 125mph, Insurance group 11
The first new road bike to be produced by Husqvarna since BMW took over the company in 2007. In essence it's a re-badged, re-styled parallel twin-cylinder BMW F800 with a 100cc bigger motor. The Nuda mixes typical Husqvarna supemoto thrills with a comfier riding position and a nod to practicality, if you go for the optional touring extras, which include ...
125cc, 13.5bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 5
The PS125i is sturdy, well made and has the weight of the Honda brand behind it, so you know it's a safe and reliable purchase. That said, it's pricier than the competition and doesn't perform as well. Ridden in isolation it's perfectly adequate, but for the money there are better scooters out there.
49cc, 3.8bhp, 30mph, Insurance group 2
This is the basic Aprilia SR 50, called the SR 50 Street. There's also a higher-spec SR 50 R and SR 50 R Factory. With lots of styling cues taken from Aprilia's fire-breathing superbikes, this 50cc scooter gives Italian style to restricted licence holders. Although it only does 30mph, there are lots of performance parts available to improve speed, braking ...

The The BMW HP2 Megamoto's £12,595 price tag is ridiculously high and will stop most of us from ever experiencing it, which is a great shame.

Zoo to introduce penguin chick
Updated On: Apr 19 2013 12:43:22 PM CDT
Henry Vilas Zoo will introduce the first penguin chick hatched at the zoo in 16 years on Saturday, according to the Dane County Executive's Office.
Meredith is a female African penguin chick that hatched on Jan. 18 after a 40-day incubation period.
Zoo officials said Meredith lost her first fluffy feathers and now has dark, waterproof feathers. Her mother and father are first-time parents.
Meredith's parents incubated the egg, and shortly before hatching, the egg was fostered to a pair of experienced penguin parents to hatch and raise the chick, according to zoo officials. The zoo hopes the mother and father parent more chicks in the future.
Meredith will be on exhibit starting at 11 a.m.
Henry Vilas Zoo is one of only 53 accredited institutions that exhibit African penguins.

What do you really now about russia, except "balalayka" and @russian bear")))
http://www.italki.com/entry/352138 ... Российские женщины красивы ...
Российские женщины красивы. Мужчины в России должны быть счастливы, ночью, когда они получают тепло от красивых русских женщин.
Стив, у вас отличный русский!)
My colleague just invited me to join her for the coming tour in Russia. I had to say NO, unfortunately.
The reason is that I am not quite used to cold - yes, Russia should be the coldest place I have ever known. And second I don't like Russian food. But I musst say, Russian girls are really beautiful. And since China and Russia have been so close to each other, I see Russia, as well, a conservative country. Just like the news I read last month saying that there should be no homosexual propaganda in public.
You can visit Russia in summer, the summer in central of Russia very hot) during the 3 month very warm weather)
The deadly cold and Russian Vodka.
Amita, this is a very popular stereotybe)) except deadly cold and vodka, we have a many and many interesting things))) for example, now we have a very hot summer)

"Awwwww, you don't like my snakes and spikes? Well, TRY THIS!"Estate of Panic was a Game Show that had a very brief run on SyFy in 2008, and aired alongside Cha$e, a "live-action video game" show. It was hosted by Steve Valentine and came from the minds of the same folks who brought us Fear Factor. Each week, seven contestants were brought to a "spooky mansion" supposedly out in the middle of nowhere (the show was filmed in Argentina) where Valentine would literally give away his money in a set of three rooms (chosen by him) in his mansion. However, there was a huge catch - these rooms were anything but normal; while the players searched for the money, things would happen in the room and/or various creatures would appear to distract and frighten the contestants. Examples included a basement that quickly flooded up to near ceiling level with water, a garden laced with electrical wires, a study that would close in and shrink on the occupants, and other nasty surprises.The contestants were expected to quickly dash in, grab as much cash as they could find and when they felt they had enough, rush out the nearest exit. Of course, not all of them would make it out... the last one remaining in the room would be "locked in" and thus eliminated from the contest. Those that did make it out would have their money totaled and the one with the least amount of cash was also eliminated. The process would be repeated in the next two rooms which by the third room, the one who grabbed the most money would be given an advantage (usually a tool to make the obstacles easier). Eventually only one contestant remained and would be escorted to the estate's Vault. Here they could add to their winnings by grabbing any cash they found inside; however to even have a chance at this money they would have to get out of the restraints Valentine put them in (i.e., chaining their leg to the floor, hanging them from the air by a harness, or tying them down to a chair) and get out of the vault before the locking mechanism kicked in.If the last contestant could do all this, they would win the cash as well as the money the other contestants collected plus whatever money they found in the Vault. If they got locked in, they lost everything. However, a contestant could "panic" in the Vault and yell for Valentine to help him or her, at which point he or she would lose half of the night's winnings and forfeit any money found in the Vault. In any instance, Valentine would tell the contestant to "Get out of his house" which the contestant would gladly do. And thus ended the game.Spiritual predecessor to Exit, a much more recent SyFy offering.

I have multiple contact datas in my website that I want to include in a single .vcf file to download. I implemented it one by one but I want to add the option to download all the contacts together not one by one.
Is possible to implement a method to download all the contacts at once in a single .vcf file? or I see other possibility. Make a function that receives a list of contacts and makes and vcard for each one, but the problem is that I have to save it in a buffer and then make a .zip or .rar file with all vcards and then download it. But I don't know how to implement it.
How can I do it using rails and vpim gem or other gem? thanks

FRIDAY, Feb. 21, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- New research in monkeys suggests that eating a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids may boost the development of complex brain networks.
Scientists found that monkeys fed a diet high in omega-3s had better connections in certain brain networks. They noted these connections are similar to those found in people, including networks involved in thinking and attention. The study authors said their findings offer more evidence that omega-3 fatty acids are important for healthy brain development.
Experts note, however, that research with animals often fails to provide similar results in humans.
"The data shows the benefits in how the monkeys' brains organize over their lifetime if in the setting of a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids," study senior author Damien Fair, an assistant professor of behavioral neuroscience and an assistant professor of psychiatry at Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine, said in a university news release.
"The data also shows in detail how similar the networks in a monkey brain are to networks in a human brain, but only in the context of a diet rich in omega-3-fatty acids," Fair added.
Omega-3 fatty acids are nutrients the body needs that are found in specific foods, such as salmon, tuna, mackerel and other fatty fish. The study authors focused on one omega-3 fatty acid, known as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which has already been shown to be important for infant eye development.
The study, published recently in the Journal of Neuroscience, involved older monkeys that were fed either a diet high in omega-3s or low in omega-3s for their entire lives.
Using brain scans, the researchers found the monkeys that lived on a diet rich in omega-3s had well-connected and organized nerve cell networks. These animals also had better connections in brain networks that are similar to certain brain networks found in healthy people, including those involved in thinking, the study authors explained in the news release.
"For example, we could see activity and connections within areas of the macaque brain that are important in the human brain for attention," noted Fair.
Meanwhile, the monkeys that ate a diet low in omega-3s had significantly more limited brain networking.
Looking ahead, the researchers plan to investigate if monkeys with problems in certain brain networks have behavioral patterns that are similar to those of people with certain disorders, such as autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). They also hope to study how various diets affect the animals over the course of their lifetimes.
"It would be important to see how a diet high in omega-3s might affect brain development early on in their lives, and across their lifespan," Fair said.

The surgery was painless, I decided not to "go under" and just have a local anesthetic. I felt nothing after the numbing shots, which were uncomfortable but nothing horrible. I also have a very high pain tolerance. The stitches are dissolvable as well so you don't have to worry about having them taken out or anything. Roughly 3 hours after my surgery I started to experience a lot of pain and I think it was mainly my body going into shock.
My boyfriend called Dr. Heck's office and he called back immediately and told him what medicine to give me and I was fine after that. I was shocked that he was so responsive. I went to work the next day and I would not recommend this. I would take at least 2 days off. My coworkers were looking at me like I was crazy with my waddle walk.
Also I would like to add that they recommend you don't look at your vagina the first few days after surgery and rightfully so. My vagina looked like it had gone through a meat grinder and everything looked asymmetrical and swollen. I immediately had second thoughts and was regretting what I had just put my body through. After about a week the swelling had gone down and everything looked symmetrical again. The pain was pretty much gone and I remember feeling a great sense of accomplishment being able to walk normal again.
If you can get through the first week you will be fine. Ice and Vicodin will be your best friend! Just try to take it easy especially the first few days. My only regret is that I didn't decide to do this sooner. With the financing options it really is feasible to have this done or any procedure you may be thinking about. Dr Heck and his staff were great! Now my sex life is so much more comfortable with my boyfriend as I am not self conscious anymore about the appearance of my vagina. I would recommend Dr. Heck to anyone. Every time I went in for an appointment I was in and out in 20 minutes. I never had to wait in the room half naked for more than 2 minutes which is amazing. Even the morning of the surgery I was on the operating table 5 minutes after I checked in. Dr. Heck is very prompt and thorough. This was so easy and worth it. One week of discomfort is a breeze in my book.

Pyxis Capital launches Pyxis iBoxx Senior Loan ETF
Related fund data links
Pyxis Capital has launched the Pyxis iBoxx Senior Loan ETF, a low-cost exchange-traded fund that provides investors with access to bank loan investments.
Trading began on 7 November on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Pyxis iBoxx Senior Loan ETF is the only ETF to track the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Leveraged Loan Index, a measure of the broad loan market comprised of 100 of the most liquid, tradable leveraged loans as identified by Markit's Loans Liquidity service.
"This is an exciting expansion of our family of iBoxx indices," says Armins Rusis, managing director and co-head of information at Markit. "The iBoxx USD Liquid Leveraged Loan Index focuses on the most actively-traded segment of the market and is the only benchmark that incorporates up-to-date loan reference and transaction information from Markit Loan Data, and high-quality valuations from Markit Loan Pricing, making it uniquely-suited for ETF construction."
The fund's floating rate design typically re-prices rates every 90 days, reducing duration risk and protecting against inflation risk.
The fund also builds on the strengths of Highland Capital, one of the largest and most experienced global alternative credit managers. Pyxis, which spun off from Highland earlier this year, tapped Highland's expertise in the development of the Pyxis iBoxx Senior Loan ETF.

Welcome Shelby Mae! Shelby Mae is a senior beagle mix ( with blue tick maybe) and she is staying with us while under going heartworm treatment.
I am fostering her for our local animal shelter which is where I also volunteer a couple of days a week. Shelby Mae has been in the shelter about a month and was getting down in the dumps too. Initially, that is my primary reason for fostering her. It was only yesterday that I found out she was heartworm positive.
So far she is adjusting pretty well. My other two dogs are slowly accepting her into our pack. Mostly it is my Papillion that is having a bit of a struggle with the new addition. She is a bit territorial and thinks she runs the place.
Our local shelter is overflowing with cats and dogs. The shelter is also struggling with a lot of bad press. The shelter changed hands from being run by the County commissioners to being run by the sheriffs Department of this county. They recently hired a new director, the third one in about three years and she only lasted nine days.
The shelter is trying to build an image of being a low kill or no kill shelter. So what happens the first week? The new director puts down 20 animals in one day. (Rumor has it that she put down 147 animals in one week, but that is just the rumor) The new director was fired the very next day. Social media got a hold of that information and the story has been getting attention world wide.
Meanwhile, all this attention is being focused on the people involved but it seems as if the dogs and cats are not getting the attention they deserve. Our small group of volunteers is still working to get the animals photographed, put on the adopt a pet website, and to make sure that we can get them all out for a walk or get them out in the pen in the back so they can run and play in the grass.
- Have you fostered a dog or cat?
- Have you adopted from an animal shelter?

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

By Ashley Zimmerman
In a past life, the arena-striding Goo Goo Dolls were thought quaint by their critics and artsier alt peers: too in love with their punk heroes, too working-class sentimental, too straight rock. Well, they got the last laugh when the money rolled in. But while re-creating the success of the single "Name," they became so overblown, two generations now know them as MOR-meisters. Who cares? You might, if you've ever heard the satisfying, gritty pop on Hold Me Upor even 1995's slicker A Boy Named Goo. Now comes the gaseous Let Love In, complete with Springsteen-via-Bon Jovi poetry and at least one ballad that Enrique Iglesias could redub with nothing amiss. Worst of all, raspy Robby Takac who contributes "Strange Love," the album's only redeeming track is now nearly muzzled in favor of bedroom-hush Johnny Rzeznik. If they cared, the Goo Goo Dolls would protest that they have humble roots; no one can begrudge them the right to extend their big break as long as possible. Anyway, making a stand when you're filthy rich must seem quaint.

MT. STERLING, Ky. (WKYT) - A workplace accident takes the life of one man, after he and another coworker fell off a building at the Mt. Sterling-Montgomery County Airport around 11 Wednesday morning.
Investigators say they were working on the roof of an add-on to the airport's administrative building, when somehow the two men lost their balance and went sliding down the steep slope.
"And once they started sliding they couldn't stop," described Montgomery County Deputy Coroner Jimmy Adams.
One of the men was identified as 73-year-old Carl Williams, a subcontractor on the project. The other man has not been identified but Adams said both fell about 20 to 25 feet, with Williams falling first.
"When he fell off the roof, the other gentleman that fell off with him, landed on him," said Adams, adding, "That added force."
Other workers were in the area at the time and they scrambled to get help. Although when help arrived, it wasn't looking good for the 73-year-old man.
"When the first responders got here he was pulse-less and he was not breathing. From there on, they started CPR and the EMS arrived and they did their job," explained Adams, who moments later pronounced Williams dead at the hospital.
"It's a tragedy for our county, for Montgomery county," he said.
A tragedy with many questions left to be answered, namely what sent the two men sliding dangerously off the roof?
Adams said that's to be determined, but one factor could've been the weather.
"The wind was blowing somewhere between 18 to 20 miles per hour, at a gust, so we don't know if that's playing a factor in this case."
Adams said the other victim was treated and released from the hospital and is doing well, but he was obviously shaken after the terrible accident.
From here, the investigation will continue with an autopsy on Thursday, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is also looking into this deadly accident.

|Miami QB Beck promoted to starting job
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 14 November 2007 06:47
Beck will make his NFL debut when he starts Sunday at Philadelphia, replacing Cleo Lemon with the first team. Coach Cam Cameron told the quarterbacks of the change Wednesday, a person familiar with the conversation told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Cameron planned to wait until after practice to announce his decision.
Beck, a second-round draft pick from BYU, will become the 12th quarterback to start for the Dolphins since Dan Marino retired following the 1999 season. He'll be the third starter at QB this season for winless Miami, following Trent Green and Lemon.
Green started the first five games but went on injured reserve Oct. 20 following his second severe concussion in 13 months. Cameron decided to promote Beck after the Dolphins lost the past five games with Lemon as the quarterback.
The Dolphins are only the seventh team to start 0-9 since 1990.
Beck was the first quarterback drafted in the first or second round by the Dolphins since Marino. Giving him a tryout now will help them decide whether they need to acquire a quarterback in 2008.

This is a second iPhone dock. My first one is here. I needed a newer version for the office which would allow me to leave my headphones plugged in while it's docked. Decided on a slightly different design this time just for fun.
Made from bubinga and maple. Finish was sprayed lacquer, buffed with some auto polisher. Not sure if I like the high gloss yet or not. Easy enough to knock down if I change my mind after a few days.

I liked the first one better, but this is also very nice.
Thanks for sharing.

I didn't put much effort into photographing this one, so maybe I haven't captured it that well. I'm liking it much more though. :)
I think part of it is the gloss/bubinga looks better under the flourescent lights at work. The walnut on the old one looks a little off under those lights.

Cool project and great idea! Like the rounded corners and the awesome finish.

Google versus the NSA, choice versus trust
Why do we trust Google, Facebook, and other commercial operations to compile vast amounts of personal data, yet fear the NSA doing the same?
Stilgherrian delivers an undiluted dose of criticism and analysis of the ways digital technology is changing our world and the spin that goes with it. Mostly in words -- sometimes in audio or video formats -- always cynical. Incorporating the Patch Monday podcast.
Stilgherrian is a freelance journalist, commentator and podcaster interested in big-picture internet issues, especially security, cybercrime and hoovering up bulldust. He studied computing science and linguistics before a wide-ranging media career and a stint at running an IT business. He can write iptables firewall rules, set a rabbit trap, clear a jam in an IBM model 026 card punch and mix a mean whiskey sour.
Why do we trust Google, Facebook, and other commercial operations to compile vast amounts of personal data, yet fear the NSA doing the same?
If you want your online business to stay in business, or even to stay online, build your own infrastructure — because Australian law enforcement trashes shared hosting like it's a crack house.
There's little public trust in the government's push for more online surveillance and broader powers for its spooks. Perhaps it's time for more openness, less hypocrisy.
'Disruption' is a good thing? No: Next time you hear some Kool-Aid-sculling startup genius boast that they're 'disruptive', punch them really hard. Smashing things at random is not progress.
The Australian Securities and Investment Commission censored a website it alleges was part of a scam — plus 1,200 others as collateral damage. An apology is nowhere near enough.
If wireless broadband is supposed to liberate us from fixed-line data tethers, it's a dream that won't become a reality any time soon.
Australia's long-overdue data breach notification laws are finally being drafted. But will they be tough enough to staunch the haemorrhage of personal data?
Forget the LulzSec speculation sideshow. The cybercrime charges against Matthew Flannery are a rare chance for the AFP to put a head on a spike as a warning to others.
The recent botnet attack on websites running WordPress hasn't had much impact — yet. But with millions of vulnerable sites and a knowledge gap at the low end of the market, things could get much, much worse.
It took decades to develop and popularise our now-familiar desktop user interfaces. Do we still have the patience to develop the next interface revolution?

Hanoi People's Committee has given the Vietnamese developer Hai Dang Investment Joint Stock Company the green light to build Hai Dang City project in Tu Liem district with 2,127 apartments. The developer plans to start work on the project this quarter, with completion expected in 2016.
The project was approved at the time when the apartment market across the country was put on the back foot. Property consultant CBRE forecasted 2012 would be a challenging year in terms of economic performance, continuing its negative impacts on the condominium market.
Trading volume ground to a halt by the end of last year and is expected to lower this year, dampening overall sales rates. In the past, speculators actively bought and sold units, thereby inflating trading volume. Presently, fewer speculators are willing to participate, and those that are willing to, have their capital stuck in their existing portfolio and cannot speculate further, according to a CBRE report.

Kim Kardashian-Kris Humphries Divorce Trial: Scheduled!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Our national nightmare will not end for at least another three months.
The day after Kris Humphries' lawyer peaced out on his client and also trashed Humphries for claiming he can annul his marriage to Kim Kardashian, a judge has set a trial date for this pair to finally hash it all out.
They will meet in court on May 6.
Kardashian's attorney fought for a date next month, but nothing was available until well into the spring.
By now, everyone (unfortunately) knows the particulars:
- Kris and Kim were married for 72 days.
- Kim has been pushing for a divorce for well over a year.
- Humphries has been stalling and claiming the marriage ought to be annulled because he was duped into a union Kim knew was phony from the start.
- In other words: he's holding out to embarrass Kim, irritate Kim or force Kim into giving him a ton of money. Or a combination of each.
Oh, and a pregnant Kim Kardashian is expecting Kanye West's baby. Good times all around.
Kim Kardashian Sex Tape is known to be a hard to find one.

Kim Kardashian-Kris Humphries Divorce Trial: Scheduled!
Guys, dont work your right hands out))
You are welcome)
Dont worrie bout that aholeKim u will b just fine
I will be so happy when Kim is free from Kris and can enjoy her life. Kris is a loser and his own lawyer wants nothing to do with him. I hope she has the privilege of watching his life fall apart
Kim K makes me sick with her big pooper and desire to do anything for money. She thinks she is a role model for girls, and that make me sick. Lets face it she game to fame because of her video of her banging some black guy. She duped Kris and he should be mad and torture this sleeze.
I can't wait for him to bring this no talent,self-absorbed tramp down! The whole family is annoying trash.
I am looking forward to this nonsense finally going to trial. This idiot has no grounds for an annulment and he knows that. He just keeps dragging it out n hopes that something might come up that might help him. And all this raw footage that he wants is only going to show how much of a jerk he was to Kim and why she chose to divorce him. I'm surprised that u htrs that r female don't support her through this. Usually when a woman is n a verbally abusive relationship ppl encourage her to leave. But not u htrs, u ppl just bash her for it. I can't wait for this so all u shithead followers eat ur words.
Kris Humphries sh'd move on....let him leave Kim K to be........ come on she's in a happy relationship with kanye
Put your hand on the Bible and swear under oath... POOF! Mrs Humphries spontaneously combusts!
I feel bad for Humpries, he fell into the hands of the most greedy man eater on earth, she steps over and uses whoever she needs to to get to the top. She used Paris Hilton to start being seen everywhere when nobody knew whose was, then took her advise to do a sex tape for publicity, she drops Hilton and goes solo, Cris Jenner says PUBLIC-during the show that they need a weeding (for ratings) tries to marry kourtney, kourtney blowed her off, Cris renews her vowels, ratings don't go up, she is too old and everybody prefers kim since the whole world have seen her naked and sex sells. Cris Jenner pressures kim and she goes on the hunt for a naive rich ball player she can use for the wedding. (After all she made public she wishes she was like Elizabeyh Taylor without the talent of course, she gets the fake multiple eyelashes and starts collecting diamonds and husbands) Kris Jenner is behind it all, she chooses the ring and makes Humpries buy it. They stage the whole "fake proposal with roses and all" which wasn't Humpies idea,! By now Humpies is mesmerized by Kim's vagina (not realizing too many black penises have been there, ewhh). Kim of course knows the marriage isn't real and orders the gifts to not get delivered (she has plans to exchange them for rolexes for her family). Humpries still doesn't see it but gets suspicious, he wants love, Cris Jenner and Kim plan trips for Kim to get out if town and avoid Humpries, Humpries brings his sister to one of d reality episodes, they obviously treat her like crap, he is getting more suspicious. They try to push his buttons even more and do something ridiculous such as "bringing a naked yoga man to the house?" Poor Humpries, he gets mad of course, and they edit the whole show to show him as an evil person and kim an innocent flower. The worst part is, Kardashians are very influential, an they have no morals or conscience. They buy the court system, what am I saying? THEY RUN THE COURT SYSTEM! Didn't the father get OJ Sympson walk out unharmed when obviously unquestionably guilty?
Cris Humpries, for whatever is worth, I want you to know that God knows and he is a just God, your loved ones know and I know, and I love u and admire you and pray for you.
kim, please stop this nonsens.
........just get him a nanny.

Rolling out new, more compelling services quickly and with guaranteed quality is critical for carriers facing mounting threats from over-the-top (OTT) providers. The prospect of lowering total cost of ownership (TCO) while doing so is driving many to adopt strategies for virtualizing the underlying network.
TIANJIN CHINA (Reuters) - The sheer size of the Chinese market is so alluring to Western companies that even pro-internet freedom firms like CloudFlare may have to put moral outrage to the side in their pursuit of new business.
San Francisco-based CloudFlare has a policy of providing cyber-defense services for all, based on a belief that the internet should be free, decentralized and open.
SINGAPORE - In 1Q 2014, the worldwide mobile service revenue increased 0.58% year-on-year (YoY) to US$264 billion according to ABI Research, and the aggregate service revenue for 2014 will grow 2.9% YoY to US$1.01 trillion, mainly driven by the robust growth of the mobile Internet market. Proliferating mobile data subscriptions and enhanced network capacity will drive global mobile Internet service revenue to US$456.7 billion by 2019—44.7% of total mobile service revenue.
Recent research suggests 90 percent of all existing data has been generated in the last three years, leaving telecom carriers to grapple with how to manage this data deluge effectively and still turn a profit. The answer may lie in Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). Based on Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware, one immediate benefit of both technologies is the potential to reduce cost, for vendors and their carrier customers.
A global tier 1 Service Provider (SP) was experiencing a common issue: its circuit inventory data was untrustworthy, so it could not rapidly isolate faults and lacked the granular network intelligence to build out capacity, when and where it was needed. The SP had tried the common solution of periodically purchasing costly blanket bandwidth upgrades but still encountered the symptoms.
With the introduction of the iPhone in 2007 came the beginning of a global mobile revolution. Since then, mobile computing has transformed every aspect of our lives with smartphones and tablets outselling laptop computers as the primary means of network communication. In fact, this growth will only accelerate in the coming years, as the next wave of mobilization will create even more data from enterprise mobility, wearable computing and the Internet of Things (IoT).
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a growing and exciting ecosystem comprised of an array of different technologies.
Currently, IoT networks are heterogeneous, with short-range, mid-range, and long-range connections. These three levels of IoT connectivity options are determined based on how widespread the connections need to be –immediate, specified geography, or widespread. Although a mix of technologies will make up the ecosystem, standards for Long Term Evolution (LTE) will play an increasingly larger role in facilitating long-range connections.
PAN and LAN
CDMA-enabled telematics solutions are delivering the business intelligence that both dealers and lenders need to monitor and manage their vehicle assets as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.
Apple and Google have made names for themselves as technology innovators and as the companies shaping the direction of their industry. Both companies recently released high-profile connected car products – CarPlay and Open Auto Alliance, respectively – that allow users to bring the comforts of their mobile devices to their vehicles. It would seem that both companies are focused on new opportunities to extend their market dominance.
The catch? Microsoft announced its first connected car partnership, with Ford, all the way back in 2007.
A shifting industry
The first problem was the trustworthiness of the inventory data. The manual processes for performance analytics and service level agreement (SLA) monitoring were also a major challenge as they were inefficient, error-prone and time-consuming.

Tour of Elk Grove – Stage 1 Time Trial
After a nice relaxing afternoon at Panera, it was time to ramp it up for the time trial. I wasn't feeling great during my warm-up, but I was able to get my heart rate and speed up and I have finally made the timecut in a professional NRC time trial race! Here's my heart rate data:
Tour of Elk Grove – Prerace 2
No pressure for me on this race as it is coming near the end of a very long family road trip. I'm here to have fun, hopefully win a little bit of money, enjoy hanging out with our friends here in the Chicago area, and get more experience for future racing. Here's a map of our trip so far … only one more leg to go (from Chicago to La Porte, IN and then on back home to sweet home Alabama!)
Tour of Elk Grove – Prerace
What do you get when you mix a professional bike race with a Panera located just a few blocks away — a hilarious mix of shaved legs, compression tights, team cars, and young 20-something men surfing the free wireless internet with their laptops. I just finished picking up my packet and then headed over to Panera for a pre-race meal. I have seen no less than five different teams represented with the latest being Champion-Porsche. I also got to say hi to Matt Winstead (a fellow Alabamian) riding for Team Inferno. Also represented in Panera — Mountain Khakis, Rock Racing and myself TriaMarket/DonohooAuto.com. I wasn't sure if I was going to be eligible for this race with an amateur/cat 1 license — but I've been given the all clear and I'm excited about the time trial starting in a few hours. The word from one of the volunteers at packet pick-up was 115 pre-registered, and 25 no-shows so far. I would expect that would equate to about a field of 100 riders — much larger than last year, but still a much more manageable number than the 185 at Cascades!
Tour of Elk Grove
Today is the start of the 3-stage Tour of Elk Grove with over $152,000 prize money. I am hoping to crack the Top 25 on stages 2 and 3 to help pay for our trip in addition to the generous sponsorships I have received. With the overall GC likely to be separated by less than a minute largely determined by today's 4.5 mile time trial, I do not have any GC ambitions unless I can sneak into an unexpected break tomorrow or Sunday. The field here is sure to be very strong with Chris Horner from Astana as well as strong teams from Kelly-Benefits, Rock Racing, Bissell, Jelly Belly, and maybe BMC?
Cascade Cycling Classic
Kristine's view from the feedzone on Stage 2
I am out here with my family in beautiful Bend, Oregon racing the Cascade Cycling Classic. The field here is like a "who's who" of whose not in the Tour de France. To give you an example, during one of the many "slam on your brakes" moments in Stage 2, I almost rear-ended Oscar Sevilla and Tom Zirbel. Freddie Rodriguez won the field sprint yesterday edging out Taylor Phinney, but there was a break of 18 up the road including Victor Hugo Pena, Rory Sutherland, Chris Baldwin, Darren Lil, and Ivan Dominguez. Francisco Mancebo got third in yesterday's stage behind Ben Jacques-Maynes and Jeff Louder. Floyd Landis is here and riding well in support of his teammates (Chris Baldwin and Rory Sutherland are 3rd and 5th in the GC afer Stage 2). BMC has a strong team including Brent Bookwalter and former Postal rider Tony Cruz. Altogether, we had 184 starters for Tuesday's road race, 177 starters for Stage 2, and 168 starters for Stage 3.
Here's how the races have gone so far…
Stage 1 – Smith Rock Road Race … 71 miles, ETA 2:34 @ 27mph, Actual 2:23 @ 29.7mph (11 minutes ahead of schedule)
This race was mostly flat with the exception of one KOM. I've never ridden with 180+ riders in a field before so I was surprised by how smooth it went — no crashes that I could see or hear, but there was plenty of times we had to brake hard going into corners or if a car hadn't pulled all the way off the road — sort of like a big river that ebs and flows as the river gets wider or narrower. Part of the reason for the smoothness though was the raw speed. We started out averaging well over 30mph. This kept the large pack strung out. Mike Olheiser attacked about an hour into the race to get away to go for the KOM points. Eventually 10 other riders made it into the break with him. Several riders bridged across at different times making a very large break of 18 riders. It was just the right composition of teams so nobody with enough firepower was left to chase meaning that the break stayed away for the rest of the race gaining 4'49″ on the rest of the field. We started up the KOM pretty fast (25+ mph) but then slowed down to maybe 15mph at the steepest part before accelerating to close to 25mph again across the top. The pace was fast but manageable. The hardest part of the race came a couple miles after the KOM when we headed up a long (5+ miles) false flat gaining about 500′. Garmin's development team missed the break so they were up at the front at a very fast tempo – 28-32mph with crosswinds – that kept the pack strung out single file for miles. It was very hard because you weren't getting much draft at all from the rider in front of you. Once they realized they weren't going to catch the break, they turned off the gas and the break extended its lead. Everything else was relatively easy although it was very hot by the finish and staying hydrated was tough. I coasted across the line in 122nd.
Heartrate data for Stage 1 – Smith Rock Road Race
Stage 2 – Three Creeks Road Race … 80 miles, ETA 3:09 @ 25mph, Actual 2:54 @ 27.5mph (15 minutes ahead of schedule)
Today's race was a bit more hilly. We started out very fast again with a gradual rolling descent for the first 30 miles. I looked down at my speedometer at one barely downhill section and we were going 43 mph, full out. The fast speed lasted all the way through the second feed zone when a split happened and the front group turned into a group of about 40 and the back group had the rest of us — about 138-140 riders by that point. I was near the split so I ended up getting into the rotation to help chase it down. Eventually everything came back together. We hit the KOM at a very manageable pace and then really slowed down for a bit to about 23-25mph. The first of two crash near-misses came when a narrow bridge slowed the pack at the front suddenly. At the sound of squealing brakes, I slammed on my brakes and still nearly rear ended Oscar Sevilla and Tom Zirbel. Shortly after the bridge as we approached the bottom of the climb, the pace really started to pick up. Then a few riders got tangled up and went down right at the base of the climb right in front of me. I skidded to a stop just barely before hitting them, but the damage was done as the main field sped away at close to 30mph while a bunch of us towards the back were still getting clipped back into our pedals and around the crash. I worked with about 5 riders to catch and pass another group and we had the main field in our sights about 30 seconds ahead, but the pace eventually got to me and I got dropped from that group and started surfing different groups … sometimes able to stay with them and pass people from groups ahead and sometimes falling off again to the next group. I finished 108th 7'35″ back from Oscar Sevilla who ended up winning the stage and taking over 1st on GC.
Heartrate data for Stage 2 – Three Creeks Road Race
Stage 3 – Skyliners Time Trial … 16 miles (8 miles out/back), ETA 38.5 minutes @ 25mph, Actual 40.0 minutes @ 24mph (1.5 minutes slower than expected)
It was a very disappointing TT for me today as I missed the timecut by 37 seconds. It's small consolation but so did 13 other riders including Freddie Rodrigues from Rock Racing. The long climb on the course was a real power climb averaging 3% gradient, which also meant the descent was a power descent where aero equipment was hugely advantageous. All I had was my tt bars and I just could never get up to speed on the way up or the way down. I was surprised because my legs felt OK during my warmup run on the course, but they were just dead during the race. I got passed by 4 or 5 people starting at 30 second intervals. Not a very impressive performance, but I am hoping to rest up and have fresher legs for Elk Grove in Chicago next weekend.

Biking across the country
Not exactly the same as biking all the way across the country, but I am getting to enjoy a number of spectacular rides during our trip out west to give a presentation at a conference, to visit friends and family, and to race the Cascade Cycling Classic. Here's some highlights from our trip so far:
East Texas- on the first day of our trip, we drove from Alabama to Tyler, Texas to stay with friends of ours from Mercy Ships. This is also where I met my wife 8 years ago. I rode a 45 mile loop on roads that I used to ride that included passing through YWAM Tyler (Twin Oaks) and the Mercy Ships headquarters from a starting point in Van, Texas.
Carlsbad Caverns, Carlsbad, New Mexico – on our third day, we headed to Carlsbad Caverns to watch the bats fly out at sunset, spend the night, and then explore the caverns the next day. In the morning, I got to ride from our hotel in the town of Carlsbad to the entrance of the caverns at the top of a small mountain. I had been wanting to do that climb since I first visited the caverns as a teenager. It was fun to finally do it, fly up it, and realize that it wasn't such a hard climb after all!
Flagstaff, Arizona and the Grand Canyon – In Flagstaff, we stayed with Kristine's cousins Kip and Beth. Kip and I got to go for an awesome ride where he guided me up Snowbowl, a six mile climb at the base of the mountains containing Arizona's highest point. I turned on the gas for the last two miles and couldn't believe how hard it was to breath for the last part of the climb rising well above 9000′ by the turnaround point — but it was still a good sign that I could maintain a low zone 5 pace for that entire two miles. We flew down the mountain and then headed towards the Grand Canyon. The road was wide, well paved, and surpisingly little traffic. After the gradual climb to the Nordic ski center, Kip turned around to head back to Flagstaff and I went on to the place where I had planned to rendezvous with Kristine and the kids before heading into the canyon. It was an awesome ride hanging out with Kip, doing an epic climb, and then absolutely flying towards the canyon with a tailwind and a long gradual 2000′ descent. The last five miles was really tough as the road changed direction just enough to have a hard sidewind and started to roll upwards. Also, the sun came out at that spot and I quickly drained the rest of my water finishing my bottle just as I sprinted to meet Kristine at the Flintstone campground.
Las Vegas, Nevada – This was the next stop for us as I was presenting a research paper at a conference. We stayed at the conference hotel, and I was able to ride twice from the hotel to a very cool national conservation area called Red Rock Canyon just outside the city. I saw lots of other bikers, and the road was like none other that I have ridden – a 13 mile scenic loop on a one-way road with no oncoming traffic! So you could fly down and truly enjoy the descent after a tough 5 mile climb. The geography was breathtaking with exposed "red rocks" and towering canyon walls. On the highway bordering the conservation area, there was one spot where you could see the entire 13 mile road laid out before you on the mountainside.
Davis, California – I lived in Davis for six years while I got my Masters and PhD from UC Davis, but it has been four years since our last visit — so my rides over the past three days have brought back tons of memories. From a homebase with my college roomate and his family, I've gotten to do rides in three of the four directions leaving town. My kids enjoyed riding in the Arboretum and taking breaks to feed the ducks. I also rode the Tuesday/Thursday training route that leaves from Sutter Davis Hospital, and then today got to do a short ride all over town.
Tomorrow it's on to Oregon for the Cascade Cycling Classic. Fun riding and hopefully some great racing!
The Plein Air Classic Race Report
Wow – what a great weekend of racing in Oxford, MS. The organizers did a great job of picking fun courses, having plenty to do for the family and kids, and making this an enjoyable race weekend. This was my first time to Oxford, MS. Mike Lackey and I got up early Saturday morning to drive 3 hours before the start of his Category 3/4 race. My race was a little bit later so I ended up having plenty of time for a good long warm-up that turned into a bit of a training ride itself. Here's how my race (P/1/2/3) played out:
Saturday, Circuit Race – 2nd place
Eric Spina and his Absolute Racing team had a tent set up near the start/finish with fans blowing cooled air. It was the perfect place to warm-up on rollers with it being very hot and sunny outside. Thanks Eric!!! I warmed up for over one and a half hours and during that time drank four large bottles (20oz) of gatorade. The race began, and the largest team was Marx and Bensdorf with about 5 or 6 riders. Herring Gas had a couple riders (Frank Moak and Clark Butcher). I was by myself representing Tria Market. Eric Murphy was there by himself for Myogenesis. On the first lap, Frank Moak put in an attack and got away solo. Marx and Bensdorf responded by sending a number of riders on the attack. I pulled back each of these as none of the other riders in the field were responding except for Debbie Milne (recently crowned women's road race champion mixing it up with the 1/2/3 men!). Finally, after a couple laps of this and as I was getting pretty tired, Eric Murphy put in a hard attack to which I had to respond — the end result was dropping everybody in the pack except for Clark. Behind us, M&B were organizing a chase, but they were tired and losing ground. Eventually we all came together to form a break of 4. There were some attacks from within the break and we got separated again with Frank and Eric up the road, and me and Clark behind. I tried and tried to close the gap but I was keeping it steady at 5-10 seconds and no closer. Some unexpected help came from Eric Spina who drilled it right as we were getting ready to lap his group. This gave me just enough rest to then put in one more hard effort to finish the bridge to Frank and Eric Murphy. Thank you again, Eric Spina!
With one to go, Clark was keeping a steady pace at the front and I would pull through at 85% but Frank and Eric were getting ready for the finishing sprint and not working. Clark put in an attack to which I expected Eric to respond, but instead Clark was motoring away. Eventually Eric attacked and I was able to hop on as Eric brought Clark back. So we were all back together with a little more than 1 mile to go. Clark stayed on the front and rode at a high pace. Eric put in the first attack with maybe 1k to go. Frank grabbed his wheel and I was in third position as Clark had finished his work for Frank and went off the back. I thought this was the perfect situation, but coming out of the last corner (there were three corners close together) as Frank and I split to pass Eric on either side, Eric stepped it up again just enough to finish maybe a bikelength in front of us with me getting second only inches in front of Frank.

Sunday Ole Miss Criterium – 2nd place
This was a fun long crit course on the Ole Miss campus. The start/finish line was near the stadium and the course climbed a longish hill with a chicane in it followed by a 90 degree left at the top, another 90 degree left, a gradual right, one more 90 degree left, a short straightaway and finally a 90 degree left to the 400 meter finishing sprint straight downhill with a tailwind. There were more riders in the field today with several of the 3s including my teammate Mike Lackey deciding to join the 1-2-3 race since it was the last race of the weekend. Several riders from the Memphis Velo team were in our race, the same Marx and Bensdorf riders were there, and Herring Gas had one additional rider in the race.
Mike covered a lot of the early moves forcing other riders to chase since I could be content to watch the other omnium threats. Mike also helped me monitor the position of the other riders in the race. And then finally, Mike pulled out a second place in the field sprint for sixth in the race. Thank you Mike! Eric Murphy instigated the attack about halfway through the race that led to the same selection of four riders (me, Clark, Frank, and Eric) in the break. We worked together well to establish the break. With three laps to go, Eric put in an attack on the hill right after I had pulled. The three of us started to work together to bring Eric back, but we couldn't do it. With one lap to go, I attacked on the hill and only Frank could come with me. The two of us made the last turn with me in the front and 400 meters of a downhill sprint, I watched and listened and moved to the opposite side of the course from which the wind was blowing so that when Frank started his sprint he would have to come around and block the wind for me. 350 meters, 300, 250, 200 … he still hadn't attacked and I had purposefully kept it in an easier gear for jumping quickly since I knew that I was going to have to lead it out. So at 200 meters, I attacked as hard as I could pedaling as fast as I could without shifting gears. Frank started to come around but the finish line came first, my cadence must have been 130+, and I had again beaten him by inches. So the order of finish was the same as yesterday with Eric taking the win, me second, Frank third, and Clark fourth.
- Watching everything, letting Mike cover the early moves – note the mostly Zone 3 heart rate
- Initiating an attack myself, short-lived
- Covering an attack from Eric
- This was the decisive move started by Eric
- This is where Eric attacked our break and got away
- Attacking on the last lap to separate the Herring Gas riders
- The finishing sprint
All-in-all a good strategic weekend of racing. We leave on Wednesday for our big trip out west. I'm looking forward to riding in a few different places along the way, and I will definitely be taking a few pictures to share on my blog. Until then…
