Last Few Days in LP
Just a few more days in Lake Placid, then across The Pond to Norway on Sunday. Great to meet up with the Amherst College Men's Soccer team as they swung through town on their way to NCAA's at St. Laurence this weekend. Good luck this weekend gents!
Blink 2014 Complete… Now on to the Torsby Tunnel!
Image Posted on Updated on
Blink 2014 has come to a close. It was an exciting few days and a great addition to the summer training schedule. On Friday, we had the Mass Start competitions in the main downtown venue in Sandnes. This consisted of a 900m loop with an 11-point 50m shooting range and a traffic roundabout penalty loop. The whole stadium was lined with bleachers and it made for an incredible atmosphere.
After a decent run in the qualification rounds, I qualified for the final Mass Start – a nine-lap race with four shootings in the standard Mass Start format. My biggest goal for these competitions was to work on staying focused in the range and hitting targets, even if that meant taking a little more time. In these short races, the field shoots extremely fast on the whole but the average shooting percentage isn't usually as high as the world cup. I missed one target in each of my first prone shootings and then cleaned the first standing stage. This put me in the lead coming into the final shoot. The crowd was incredible loud as I came down the final stretch and I new Emil and Tarjei were right behind me. This was shaping up to be quite the final stage. I have practiced this type of scenario many times in training, but there is nothing like being in that position in an actual race. I stuck to my game plan and shot in my normal rhythm. The other guys shot quicker, but I cleaned and left the shooting range for the final lap in first place. It came down to a sprint finish between me and Svendsen on the 300-meter final stretch. I tried to match his finish sprint but I couldn't quite hold on and I ended up in 2nd.
I was psyched with the race and happy to be mixing it up with the top guys in the World Cup field. Yesterday, they held the Super Sprint competitions, consisting of a quarterfinal, semifinal, and final round. Tim and I both made it out of our quarterfinal rounds and were placed in each semifinal. Both of us ended up winning each semifinal, which put us both in the final, 5-lap Super Sprint. After second prone I was leading and Tim was right behind me. It was cool to have two Americans out in front for a big part of the race. By the last shooting, Tim and I were in the lead pack coming in to shoot. I had an ejected round when I tried to load my clip. This was exactly the wrong time for this to happen as the penalty loop is only about eight seconds. I had to hand load my last round as everyone else left the shooting range. I ended up missing that shot which meant I had to run a penalty loop. Tim shot fast and had one as well, leaving stadium in second and hanging on for 3rd. I was 22 seconds off the leader for 6th.
All in all, it was a great few days of competitions. Now we have one day more in Sandnes and it's off to the Torsby Skitunnel in Sweden on Monday.
Updated Lysebotn Post (With Pictures)
Hi again! Here's a second, and more complete installment of my original post from yesterday. We walked down to the Sandnes Marina docks at about noon yesterday and the entire men's field boarded three different boats to make the journey towards Lysebotn. The Lysebotn Uphill race has become one of the most popular summer events in Norway. Over 1.5 million TV viewers tuned in to the NRK broadcast of this 7.5km roller ski climb in 2013. The course climbs from sea level to the top edge of the cliffs overhanging the Lysebotn fjord. It is, by far, the most spectacular hill climb event I've had the chance to be a part of.
After a 1.5hr boat trip through the islands north of Sandnes and then winding 42km up the Lysebotn Fjord, we finally arrived at the start of the climb. The race started with a 1km flat which then quickly ramped up to an eight to ten percent grade for the rest of the climb. At about 1.5km the road entered a dark tunnel. When I say dark, I mean that for certain points it was impossible to see the man in front of you. At this point in the race, the pack was relatively close together, and with a field of almost 100 men, this made for a challenging race environment for the kilometer-long tunnel.
Soon we came out the other side of the tunnel and on to the winding switchbacks which would take us all the way to the top. Tim and I were in a pack of ten or so guys towards the front of the field as we came out of the tunnel. I was redlined and tried to hang on as long as I could but eventually lost contact with about 3.5km to go. Tim stayed with that group and ended up in 15th. I placed 35th and was happy with that considering that most of the best biathletes and cross-country skiers were present in the field.
The final two kilometers of the event were lined with hundreds of spectators and it felt like a Tour de France-style mountain top finish, complete with the finish lane, overarching sponsor-banners, and no less than four helicopters circling the race. It was quite an experience and I'm glad to have been a part of it. I wasn't able to take any pictures of the actual race, but you can see some videos of past Blink competitions at their website, http://www.blinkfestivalen.no.
Below you can see some photographs I took on the boat ride to and from the event. There's also a few pics of the start area before the women's race. You can see the tv helicopter hovering above the fjord if you look closely.
The Lysboten Uphill Race
It's the first day at Blink Festival in Sandnes, Norway and we just completed the Lysboten Uphill Race. Helicopters, tons of fans, boats, fjords, tunnels. You name it, Lysboten has it!
Keep Calm and Love Biathlon!
The conclusion of Frassinoro Biathlon Fest!
Rolling Stones In Rome
We arrived in Rome yesterday and by 4:00pm we were front and center at Circus Maximus, ready for The Rolling Stones! This is just the beginning of a whirlwind trip to Italy which will take us from Rome to Cinque Terre for a couple of days and then finally to Frassinoro, where I will compete in the Frassinoro Summer Biathlon Festival on Saturday. Then, it's back to the States on Sunday. For now, enjoy the pics from last night. It was a night I will never forget!

Top 3 Puro matches of the year imo are:
Kazuchika Okada vs Tetsuya Naito ~ NJPW 40th Anniversary Show
Kazuchika Okada vs Hiroshi Tanahashi ~ NJPW Dominion
Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Minoru Suzuki ~ NJPW King of Pro Wrestling
Aren't you a fan of Lance Hoyt/Vance Archer? He's had some awesome tag team matches in NJPW this year. He's in a tag team with Harry Smith (David Hart Smith). Has a tag team championship match on the same iPPV that I mentioned, King of Pro Wrestling. It's my show of the year, btw. It's amazing. Well worth a watch if you have time. Plus, it has some other names you're familiar with like Low Ki, Alex Shelley, Rocky Romero, & the Hoyt/Smith tag match.
Indie stuff: Steen vs Generico Last Man Standing from Showdown in the Sun Night One, Adam Cole vs Kyle O'Reilly HYBRID FIGHT RULES from Best in the World '12, anything involving Eddie Kingston defending his Chikara Grand Championship in Chikara. (vs Brodie Lee, Sara Del Rey, Tadasuke, Jigsaw, etc) El Generico vs Sara Del Rey from Chikara Hot Off The Griddle, 3 Way Guerrilla Warfare for Tag Team Championship from PWG Threemendous III, and while I haven't seen it, but it is getting universal praise - The Young Bucks vs El Generico & Kenny Omega from PWG Failure To Communicate.
Just some matches all off the top of my head. Tried to think of wrestlers you're mostly familiar with to help you out. Had to plug Chikara since the high point of the company this year was all of the great singles championship matches with Kingston. You might enjoy the Steen vs Rhino & Steen vs Michael Elgin championship matches from ROH Death Before Dishonor & Glory By Honor, respectively. Also, caution, but if you're curious to see Davey vs Elgin from Showdown in the Sun Night 2, then there is always that. Meltzer gave it the full 5. I hate it, but personally, that's me.
Just looked up the show and it was Adam Cole/Kevin Steen.
Thanks for the puro suggestions and that Archer stuff sounds great. I was a big fan of him and I liked DH Smith. I'll give that show a look since I mark for Shelley and Ki as well.
The indy stuff sounds good. Might skip out on the Young Bucks match as I'm not a huge fan but GENERICO might make up for that. My friend met Generico at a PWG show this year.
Steen/Rhino sounds pretty cool too. I can already tell I wouldn't like Richards/Elgin but I might sit through it if I have time just in case.

Police look for German shepherd that bit woman
Monona police are looking for a dog that bit a woman at the Aldo Leopold Nature Center on March 30, according to a release.
The woman was visiting the nature center in the 300 block of Femrite Drive when she was bitten by a German shepherd, officials said. The German shepherd was also with a small white dog.
According to the release, the woman did not see an owner in the area.
Police said they have learned the woman may have to undergo rabies treatment if the dog is not located.
Officials ask anyone with information on the location of the dog or owner to contact the Monona Police Department at 608-222-0463.

COMET ISON's sun dive climax: RENDEZVOUS with DESTINY
That second video montage is fabulous.....worth every penny...however much it cost to put a camera out there.
Latest exoplanet discovery is a virtual CLONE of Earth
How far means how long....
The question of how far away it is matters not because of when the next GSV swings by to take us there, but of how soon until THEY GET HERE. We are fresh from the cave, but the probability is that they have been around rather longer.
Supposing that the above guess of 2000 lightyears is correct, and that we on Earth started producing detectable radiation 150 years ago, our signals arrive there in 3862AD? A lightspeed return signal gets back to us in 5862AD. Of course, if they have figured out FTL then we might get a visit a bit sooner than that.....
Judge: Your boss has no right to your emails held by a third party
So how does this play out for a company whose staff are all or Gmail or equivalent.....?
The company no longer has any way to recover the email of people who have left?
Facebook preps for public showtime with $100bn price tag
How do you monetise Facebook?
At last an answer to the tricky question of how to monetise Facebook.
IPO, cash out, run.....
My guess is that FB is already at around its max usage ever.
P.S. A thought for the "If you dont like FB, dont use it" brigade.....
Just because you are not on FB, doesn't prevent your "friends" posting pictures of you, or quoting you, or generally adding your personal information to the stalkerbase. And if you are not on FB, then you cannot see what others have posted about you. Insidious isnt it? You kind of have to be there, even if its just to moderate what others put there.
Colossal dead black neo-sphere approaching Earth
So are you telling me that.....
...it lights up black, on a black background......What is this, some kind of galactic.......
Exploit-wielding boffins go on free online shopping binge
I think you might find that accounting reconciliation of the kind you envisage, is another one of the things that these vendors just dont do, because its buracratic overhead, costs money, etc.
Like producing a secure system in the first place.
Praying for meltdown: The media and the nukes
Orlowski beams down to planet Lewis
Andrew "Lewis" Orlowski says : The ageing plant was never going to explode or meltdown ("like a dirty bomb" we were told); the containment vessels held firm.
Japanese government says : "that levels of radioactivity in water leaking from a reactor at the facility resulted from a partial meltdown of fuel rods, amid growing fears that radiation may also have seeped into seawater and soil. The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power [Tepco], said readings of plutoinium-238, 239 and 240 were similar to those recorded in other parts of Japan after nuclear tests conducted overseas."
Google for "Fukushima Explosion" and you can watch the explosion that Andrew says can never happen.
It's not funny anymore.
Fukushima's toxic legacy: Ignorance and fear
Lewis's Toxic Legacy : Ignorance
Lewis says : It remains highly unlikely that the workers themselves will suffer any measurable health consequences from radiation
Japan's nuclear safety agency said : Fukushima workers in hospital after radiation exposure
Lewis says : Radiation near the reactors rises to 2-3 millisievert/hour during planned venting operations from the damaged cores, but workers are pulled back ahead of these
Japan's nuclear safety agency said : They were exposed to radiation levels of 170-180 millisieverts
Balanced, neutral journalism is RUBBISH and that's a FACT
Deconstructing Journalism
Nice to see the Reg reminding us that journalism is closely related to propaganda, and only becomes less like propanganda when we are reminded of that fact.
I suspect many of the readers are reassured by "Our bias is X. But feel free to comment otherwise".
Facebook sells equity: Reportedly valued same as Tesco
Goldman at the trough
We already know that Goldman are happy to punt an offering which they expect to fall in value. Goldman get their percentage regardless.
We already know that dot com companies attempt to float when their bubbles are at their largest.
This feels a lot like AOL "buying" Time Warner. Internet service with no unique IP pretends to be a real company, and then gets shown up badly when the next free fad service comes along.
Adobe Reader 0day under active attack
Is it just me....?
Or would Adobe be doing themselves a favor by producing a version of their "Reader" which just "read" the PDF rather than executed code in it?
Then the current "Reader" can be renamed to Adobe Executor ?
Why we love to hate Microsoft
Reasons to still hate Microsoft
1) Forcing me to re-buy the software every four years, when the newer versions do nothing useful.
2) Still producing products which are impossible to code into a firewall
- Windows Update (no accurate list of MS target sites, URLs or IP ports)
- Windows Active Directory
3) MS Word thinking it knows better than me how I want my document laid out.
World+bitch flocking to expose self on Facebook

Lots of new users?
The extra users are the sockpuppets, pseudonyms, and the ones that russian lad was selling?
Voting chaos in not-fit-for-purpose electoral system
Election Irregularity
The paper manual process may be clunky, but apart from the proxy/postal part, its also hard to abuse. Unlike the computerised US equivalent......Diebold anyone?
You want a website for voting? So if you can hack that website, you get to run your own nuclear-armed country to play with?
Tory minority government isnt nearly as good as a third of the >>electorate<<. More like a third of those who voted. Once we note that 30%+ of people didnt vote, then Cameron hope to rule on the basis of less than a quarter of the electorate having actually voted for his team. Hardly a mandate.....

Microsoft slams nails in Windows Vista, XP SP2, 2000
If software was like a car....
Toyota would like to announce that any Toyota car made before 2004 is now "out of support".
Toyota garages will refuse to repair such cars.
Older Toyota cars may exhibit unpredictable behavior at traffic lights and roundabouts, if those road features were built after 2009.
Any safety defects on older Toyotas cars will not be notified, or subject to recall.
Toyota disclaim any liability for crashes caused by older Toyotas.
If you are worried about your seven year old Toyota crashing, then Toyota recommend that you buy a new Toyota.
MPs, Lords ask if Mandybill is human rights friendly
Like a car? Still full of fail.
This situation is a bit like the one with car owners not necessarily being the driver of the car when an offence is committed.
So the ISP sends a letter to the payer of the internet connection which says "Who visited site X on day X using your internet connection? Unless you fess up someone else, we will assume it was you"
Might be interesting when the internet belongs to a company who may or may not have sufficient logging in place to work out who it was. Hospital porter on nightshift downloads some tracks....using a PC which the night shift nursing staff left logged on. ISP says no internet for your hospital unless you give us a name to prosecute. Doesnt really work does it?
Illegal activity moves onto encrypted connections. Skype have demonstrated an encrypted peer to peer global network already. A hybrid of Skype and TOR would be the next step. A Darknet client, if you like.....
If you are the security team for a company, you might be able to retain control by only allowing whitelisted programs onto company PCs.
If you work for the surveillance state, then your options are more limited. If you let people run PCs they built themselves (Linux, etc) then there's little you can do to control how they access the darknet. Conclusion: governments will make private ownership of PCs illegal - you will only be able to rent a government approved internet access device. See 1984.
Tell me why this isnt where we will end up.....

We should be more worried that hysterical overreaction seems to be what our own leaders want to.....
Kingston coughs to security flaw in 'Secure' flash drive
Product Recall....?
So we are told that the crypto isn't secure to a person with physical access and the right tools and knowledge (eg the device manufacturer)......and we know that flash storage is easy to recover even if the files have been deleted....
And now Kingston want their customers to send them back all the flash drives containing data so private that it warranted a super (in)secure flash drive to hold it originally.....?
LHC pulverises previous record: 2.36 TeV surprise collision!
I liked the idea that the LHC boffins are trying to steal a march on the TimeCops by scheduling the opening of the dimensional portal for Friday, and then sneaking it in on Wednesday.

Why probe Google for antitrust? It 'does no evil'
What is the product, and who is the customer?
Googles product is not search.
The thing Google sell is advertising, so that is their product.
You are not the customer. The advertiser is the customer.
Are Google abusing their market dominance of their product area (online advertising/brokering/affliliate sales)?
Any regular Reg reader knows the answer and it looks a lot like evil.
Virgin Media to trial filesharing monitoring system
And so the filesharing tools migrate to encrypted as default and this technology becomes worthless.....
When algorithms attack, does Google hear you scream?
Reason for prevalence of comparison sites = commission to Google for sales
Reason for whitelisting of certain comparision sites = bigger commission to Google for sales
Reason for blacklisting of certain comparision sites = lack of commisssion to Google = competition
Remember, you are NOT the customer for Google.....you are the product.
The advertisers are the customer.
Microsoft ordered to halt Win XP sales in China
Legalised Piracy?
Let me get this right.....
MS cannot sell Windows in China anymore, but we know the chinese [people are still going to use it.
So the chinese government has just legitimised 100% piracy of Windows in their country.
All the benefit but at zero cost.
Maybe this will catch on in other places....
Robert Crumb begets Book of Genesis
Kissing and fighting
The Old Testament is full of kissing and fighting, shagging and killing, just like life. Which seems to make it more credible to me rather than less....
The cautious reviewers are saying "if Crumb misrepresented or abused the text for gratuitous sex and violence, then that is bad"
The welcoming reviewers are saying "if Crumb has accurately illuminated the text and retold it faithfully, then that is good"

MS opens up Security Essentials downloads from today
User Error?
Richard Plinston tells us several of the reasons why "user error" is not the main problem here.
You wouldnt give a loaded gun to a four year old and then blame the child if she shot someone.
My biggest beef with MS is their continued obstruction of internet hygiene by cavalier disregard for the needs of firewalls.
The worst is Windows Update - cant enumerate IPs to allow it to load from, cant even enumerate domain names it will load from - all by themselves, MS make outbound firewall filters almost impossible to implement. Opening http/https to anywhere gives free rein to bots to speak to their control channels.
The SMBv2 issue shows us all over again what an disaster port 445 is.
LAN-based debugging tools which require inbound access from the live webserver.
This stuff is all eminently fixable. And far more valuable then Aero.

Do we approve the use of force?
Interesting debate here, and I dont mean the one about the virtues of different kinds of bullet.
The gun owners think the euro liberals are fools for giving away the ability to protect themselves by force of arms.
The euro liberals think the wide ownership of guns encourages the very problems it is supposed to prevent.
The US Right preach to the world about peace and democracy, but spend their personal and corporate energies on up-cannoning. Once you own the worlds largest hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail.
The euro liberals are determined to find a better way to get along with everyone else, even at some considerable personal and international risk.

If the Netbook+Chrome is cheap enough (including hardware) then the gamer crowd can just buy (whisper it softly) TWO machines. Or just re-use the (now obsolete) 2005 vintage gamer PC.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are still readable after 2000 years, but the records of 40 years ago are already nearing end of life.
What are the historians of the future going to look at?
Is anyone archiving models of the 8track, cd, dvd, bluray, etc readers? Or is that a waste of time as the media will have decayed?
Wikipedia kills legendary journalist
Spontaneous Generation
Let me get this right....
The difference between being not worthy of a wikipedia page, and becoming worthy, is to be mentioned on El Reg.

Or shall I just go an make my own?

IANISL (I am not in Second Life)
However, the key difference between Real Life (tm) and Second Life is that in the game of real life you have to play the exact hand you are dealt with. One chance. Even if your hand sucks.
In Second Life (or any other online world) you can pick most of the cards you want, and play with those. And if you dont like how it turns out, you can go around again as someone else.
Its not quite as real as getting dumped by your boyfriend or mugged in an alleyway, but its a more authentic experience than Eastenders or 24

Brand Value
I may be too good at maths to have an acceptable opinion on brand values, however.....
The value of the brand is surely the difference between the (now+future) value of the products and the (now+future) value of the company.
So rubbish product which sells for lots, is might be assisted by the value of the brand label (some clothes, sports shoes, modern art, etc). Thus the brand name is worth something.
Do people buy Microsoft products because they are made specifically by Microsoft? Or rather because of abuse of monopoly power and having exhausted any possible alternative? Given two apparently equal products at equal price, would you buy the one made by Microsoft? Seems to me, the number for that brand ought to be a negative figure.
Oh, and I get all my toy plastic cars from China Mobile.

Jeff Beck is readying what he feels is a "very important album."
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the 69-year-old guitarist discussed the timing of — and process of creating — his upcoming release.
"I think I've drawn attention. I've worked, worked, worked for the last three years. Now is the time really. My [70th] birthday is coming up, if you get me. I thought it was time for a really really good studio album I had control over and time to do properly instead of a budget problem. Even though I do have budget problems!"
In another interview with Rolling Stone last year, Beck said he was reluctant to release another album unless he found a new sound. "I've got it," he said more recently. "I think I'd rather save the surprise. But it's not Western style, if you know what I mean.
"We've done most of the track cutting in big studios. We're now off mixing, overdubbing and aligning stuff — all the crap you have to do with Pro Tools. No one has tape anymore! I couldn't believe how they need to process. Somebody makes a bootleg and has it out on the street the following day. It makes you wonder why they take so long. But that's all right. I'd rather wait and have it right than bang it all together."
Beck hopes to have the new album wrapped up by early April, when his upcoming tour starts. Beck also let it slip that he's not opposed to touring with his friend and former bandmate Jimmy Page (Below, check out two videos of Beck and Page in action together).
"If you could talk Jimmy into appearing somewhere," Beck said. "He appears at the most unlikely events and then disappears again. He's a dark horse, there's no doubt. He's got a completely private side to him as I have. But we have such a great laugh when we're together and if he ever comes up for grabs, then it'd make a good package. But one wonders what he'd play. What would he play? I don't know. He'd have to have the music sorted out and then we'd work."

Equations for calculation of the crossing point determination error and the signal width error in level-crossing experiments are generalized when the normalized second-order factorial moment of the fluorescence obtained is measured. To minimize the magnitude of these errors we study the behavior of these values on varying the magnetic field sweep interval, the counting time, and the mean fluorescence intensity.

Boasting Michelin stars and three decades of culinary experience, executive chef Patrick Ponsaty pilots a team that creates upscale seafood and contemporary gourmet fare. Ponsaty?s colleagues include young chefs Gianina Dicicco and Mike Reidy, who graduated from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts and the New England Culinary Institute. Dishes with modern, imaginative flavors include squid-ink risotto, veal cheeks with orange-blossom mousse, and hibiscus-pomegranate consomm?. Each creation is a work of visual art, too, with colorful spices, marbleized sauces, and carefully stacked ingredients arranged to resemble Rodin?s The Thinker.
The restaurant's chef and owner, John Randall, employs more than 30 years of experience to grill up a wide variety of fresh seafood, certified Angus steak, and hearty sandwiches. Rev up digestion engines with one of John's starters, which include such Neptunian delights as fried calamari and smoked salmon pizza ($3.50–$9.50). Hearty entrees, such as prime rib, a swordfish sandwich, and scallop scampi, muscle out hunger ($9.95–$18.95), while a bevy of soups and salads stand on the sidelines, waiting to be tagged in if the bacon cheeseburger sprains its condiments ($4.50–$10.50). At the full bar, 15 different beers and more than 20 wines, several from California, supplement rising salivary floodwaters.
History is full of illustrious matches: Antony and Cleopatra, Woody and Mia Farrow, Romeo and Master P. Today's Groupon brings you the successor in this historic pairing lineage: wine and grilling. For $30, you'll get $65 worth of food and drink at Firefly Grill & Wine Bar, an Encinitas eatery where grilled fare and great bottles live happily ever after in a charming fantasyland where everyone is best friends with their stomachs.

Red C Lounge's no-frills show posters promise two things: chest-pounding beats and plenty of drinks. DJs deliver those beats in a variety of styles, delving into the jazz-influenced rhythms of deep house on Tuesdays or sampling the long-forgotten hooks of obscure soul or jazz on Rare Groove Fridays. The bartenders also offer a variety of drink service, sliding gin cocktails to customers seated on bar stools or providing bottle service for those who stake a claim to a table by draping their pants over a chair.
Zen Cafe's chefs have honed the art of inventive hand rolls, working in the media of seaweed, sushi rice, and fresh fish. Serious dinner diners can loosen up chopstick implants with manila-fried chicken skewers ($7) or a sashimi trifecta of maguro, hamachi, and nama sake pieces ($16). Wrapped-up eight-piece edibles include the assertive Seal the Deal roll ($11), stocked with crab and avocado before being deep-fried and decorated with shrimp, avocado, and eel sauce, and the classic california roll ($7). Brave eaters can conquer the Godzilla roll ($11), loaded with spicy tuna and tempura-fried, then garnished with a seaweed salad, seared tuna, and sriracha—a traditional sauce made from sun-ripened chilis and one-a-day whale vitamins. Swigs of Midori melon sake ($7) soothe hard-tasting tongues, and creamy swallows of white-chocolate-glazed ricotta cheesecake ($5) prep throats for singing to tunes on the dance floor.
Lei Lounge's ceiling screens display projected images of the sky. These views pair nicely with Polynesian-inspired cocktails that blend unexpected ingredients. For example, the Hawaiian mojito mixes mint and lime with hibiscus juice.

Western Avenue: A Framework to Enhance Urban Life
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – Spring 2013
Download the Report (PDF, Web Resolution)
An IQC team consisting of three students was contracted by the City of Oklahoma City to make recommendations for placemaking and an urban design framework on a unique stretch of Western Avenue in north Oklahoma City. The project included public meetings, surveys, parking analysis, street design, and land use code evaluations. The centerpiece of the plan is a new street design that would create abundant walkability and promote economic development in the neighborhood.
As part of the project, the team worked with stakeholders including the City of OKC Planning Department, City of OKC Public Works, the consulting engineer on the street project, neighborhood residents, and business owners.

Placemaking is about using the built environment, and especially public spaces (including city streets) to promote a sense of place, identity, and community. Placemaking enhances the branding and economic development potential of an urban commercial district.
Walkability is a description of how safe and inviting it is to walk within the district. Walkability is influenced by the design of the street, sidewalks, and buildings. Walkability is an important feature of an urban commercial district where people might shop along several blocks.
The Study Area
The Study
Part 1 is a detailed placemaking blueprint between NW 41st and NW 46th Streets.
We looked at the combination of buildings, parking, signage, sidewalks, and other public infrastructure to make the core of the commercial district more cohesive, more walkable, and to mitigate issues with parking and access. We considered how streetscape elements contribute to the identity and sense of place on Western Avenue.
Part 2 is a study of the land use and urban form policies between NW 36th and NW 48th Streets.
We made recommendations about design overlays and development regulations that could help define a sense of place on Western Avenue as development of the area continues. New development should be consistent with the goals and visions of the community for the future of the Western Avenue urban commercial district. Similar overlays exist for Downtown, Midtown, Bricktown, and Uptown 23rd Street in Oklahoma City.

Injury Related News and Research
October 2009 UAB researchers find drivers need more information about affect of medication on ability to drive safely
Some 77 percent of drivers age 75 and older surveyed were unaware of the impact that medications may have on their driving performance, according to research from the UAB Center for Injury Sciences. Yet this group was most likely to have multiple medical conditions and be taking multiple medications. Paul MacLennan, Ph.D., assistant professor of surgery at UAB and the lead study author, said increased knowledge and awareness by health professionals who can offer suggestion on modifying behavior and increased patient education by pharmacists will help reduce risks.

January 2009
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Children who talk on cell phones while crossing streets are at a higher risk for injuries or death in a pedestrian accident, said psychologists at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in a new study that will appear in the February issue of Pediatrics. Cell phones clearly offer convenience and safeguards to families, but they also may pose risk," they said, "particularly when children attempt to multitask while conversing on the cell phone and have reduced cognitive capacity to devote to potentially dangerous activities such as crossing streets.
For the study, researchers used a virtual reality software program and three screens to display an actual Birmingham-area crosswalk with simulated vehicles of different sizes traveling on the virtual street.The psychologists found that all of the children - even those who were experienced with talking on cell phones, crossing streets or rated as highly attentive - were more likely to exhibit risky behaviors when they crossed the virtual street while talking on a cell phone. Specifically, it took the children who were on a cell phone 20 percent longer to begin crossing the street, and they were 43 percent more likely to be hit by a vehicle or have a close call in the virtual environment. In addition, the children looked both ways 20 percent fewer times before crossing the street and gave themselves 8 percent less time to cross safely in front of oncoming traffic when they were on the cell phone.
The study was published by UAB doctoral student Despina Stavrinos, M.S., under the direction of UAB psychologist David Schwebel, Ph.D. UAB graduate student Katherine Byington also contributed to the study. In this study, 77 children, aged 10-11, completed simulated street crossings in the virtual environment. They were asked to cross the virtual street six times without a cell phone and six times while talking on a cell phone with an unfamiliar research assistant. The UAB researchers asked the children to cross the virtual street when they believed it was safe. The children stepped from the "curb", onto a pad with a pressure switch electronically connected to a computer, and the system registered the precise moment they entered the; "street".
Cell phones are quickly becoming ubiquitous among American schoolchildren, the UAB psychologists wrote. "Commercial interests actively market cell phones for children, and marketing research firms estimate that 54 percent of children 8-12 will have cell phones by the end of [this year,] double the 2006 rate. Just as drivers should limit cell phone use while driving, pedestrians, and especially child pedestrians, should avoid using cell phone while crossing streets", the UAB researchers said. More research is needed to determine the impact that texting, listening to mp3 players and talking to peers has on children's ability cross streets safely, they said.
The study was partially supported by the UAB Injury Control Research Center through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a cooperative agreement with the Federal Highway Administration.

New Agreement In Norway
posted by Chuck Macak on 10 September 2003 in Seat News
Continuing the process of re-structuring its European Distribution Network, SEAT, S.A., the Spanish car manufacturer, has reached an agreement with the Moller Group, former SEAT importer in Norway.
In the future, the representation of the Spanish brand will be based on SEAT's new Modular Distribution System. Moller Group will continue to provide an after-sales network to SEAT customers, whereas the sale of new cars will be handled by the Spanish manufacturer itself, and the Norwegian SEAT dealers will have a direct contractual relationship with SEAT.
With this Modular Distribution System, SEAT takes advantage of the New Block Exemption regulations, combining the local know-how and expertise of the Moller Group with the Spanish brand's very lean and efficient approach to car distribution in Europe, to meet the increasingly customer's expectations.

Effective monitoring by equity blockholders is important for good corporate governance. A prominent theoretical literature argues that the threat of block sale ("exit") can be an effective governance mechanism. Many blockholders are money managers. We show that when money managers compete for investor capital, the threat of exit loses credibility, weakening its governance role. Money managers with more skin in the game will govern more successfully using exit. Allowing funds to engage in activist measures ("voice") does not alter our qualitative results. Our results link widely prevalent incentives in the ever-expanding money management industry to the nature of corporate governance.

This paper contrasts profit-maximizing individual investors with career-concerned portfolio managers in terms of their effect on firms' funding, economic welfare, and shareholder wealth. The finance literature has shown the negative effects of portfolio managers' career concerns. In contrast, I show a positive side: I find that delegated portfolio managers allocate capital more efficiently than do individual investors, which promotes investment, fosters firm growth, and enriches shareholders. Funding markets require information, but individual speculators are sometimes disinclined to acquire it; in contrast, the career concerns of portfolio managers lead them endogenously to embed information into prices and to trade more often. Finally, I show that career-concerned speculators mitigate the effect of the winner's curse and thereby reduce the discount in a seasoned equity offering.

How wide should credit ratings categories be? This paper presents a model that suggests that widening ratings categories makes everyone better off and, thus, that banning ratings announcements altogether would be optimal. Specifically, we propose a model of delegated investment with a public signal (credit rating) that suggests (i) that contracts do not have to refer to the public signal in order to overcome incentive problems; (ii) that contracts include references to the public signal not to address incentive problems, but rather to help agents compete; and, finally, in contrast to the contracting literature, (iii) that decreasing the precision of the public signal leads to Pareto improvements.

How does competition among financiers affect the nature of borrowers' investments in the economy and how does this, in turn, affect which financial intermediaries arise as lenders in equilibrium? This paper develops a general equilibrium model to address this question. There are three main results. First, at low levels of credit market competition, firms invest excessively in (riskier) specialized projects, whereas at high levels of credit market competition, firms invest excessively in (safer) stan- dardized projects. Efficient project choices arise in equilibrium for only intermediate levels of competition. Second, the emergence of relationship lending eliminates the inefficiency for low levels of competition, but not the inefficiency for high levels of competition. Third, this residual inefficiency encourages the emergence of special- ized intermediaries that resemble private equity firms that arise only when credit market competition is sufficiently high, and which are shown to be highly levered.
With Jason R Donaldson
Firms issue securities to fund projects in an opaque market in which investors cannot infer the value of assets. As a result, good firms, unable to differentiate themselves, bypass profitable investment opportunities: informational inefficiency leads to allocational inefficiency. A rating agency enters the market, providing certification for a fee; it not only fails to inform investors and encourage investment, but also captures a tidy share of firms' rents. With two agencies competing in fees and disclosure rules, though, problems disappear—information is complete and investment efficient. When the agencies interact repeatedly they are prone to collusion. When investment opportunities are plentiful they rate honestly, but charge fees so high that some positive NPV projects go unfunded. On the other hand, when there are few investment opportunities in the economy they overrate and good firms don't invest. Regulatory prescriptions of bundling ratings with CDS issues and flooring fees solve the problem.

Bread and Ink Café reviews from OpenTable diners
- Delicious stuffed trout and fried chickenCardiogirlDined on 11/23/2014Great service and delicious food. Yummy desserts. The fried chicken was outstanding, stuffed trout perfectly done.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding serviceemmettdiggerDined on 11/23/2014We went to Bread and Ink with a party of 11 to celebrate a 40th birthday. We were really impressed with the whole process - making the reservation, the food, the service, etc. It's hard to find a brunch spot in Portland that takes reservations, can accommodate large parties, and has good food. Bread and Ink meets all three. The bonus is the service was just exceptional. We will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Uninspired service but good fooddlmdDined on 11/15/2014We took the kids here for Sat night dinner. Not very crowded but service still slow. We didn't say anything but got the idea they knew they were slow as they made a couple comments such "Your food should be right out". Waiter forgot the bread until reminded. But food solid. Mac and Cheese a hit. Chicken Marsala tasty and the hamburger good even if slightly overcooked.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great comfort foodJkeid9702Dined on 11/8/2014The chicken Marsala was delicious along with sweet mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Yummy and casual!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Really good breakfastVMsalemDined on 9/20/2014Stayed in the Hawthorne district with 2 friends for the weekend. We couldn't decide which place to have breakfast since there are so many good places around. Since Bread and Ink uses Opentable we decided to go there. All of us were so happy we did. The service was great. So many great selections to pick from on the menu. All of 3 us got something different. We tried each other's food and all the choices were wonderful. All of said we would definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food and service.OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 9/11/2014I loved the chicken and waffles. I must return to Portland just to try everything on the menu. The sugar pearl waffles were so crispy! The waiter was helpful and kind with great service. What a find!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nothing specialmarcyDined on 9/4/2014I took my daughter for her birthday lunch here, only because we needed to eat in this neighborhood, and no other decent restaurants serve lunch. I had mentioned when I made reservations that it was her birthday, and again when I came in. Nothing was done to honor that, not even a verbal "Happy Birthday." I had a burger; have had much better burgers at happy hours for half the price. My daughter ordered a salad which was drenched in dressing, and didn't look appetizing at all. Will not return.
- Great FindCookeVIPDined on 8/31/2014We were in Portland from California and just gave it a try. We had the whole family including two kids under 5yrs old and the entire staff was very friendly, accommodating and patient. The food was terrific and the specialty drinks amazing!Special Features:
- Great food and ambienceheckerzugDined on 8/30/2014This place is a gem on Hawthorne! The food is always superb. The African shrimp dish I ordered was really unique and wonderfully flavored. The tails on the shrimp should have been removed if it is to be served as a stew, but otherwise it was great!Special Features:
- Most enjoyablekarenkayakerDined on 8/27/2014We chose Bread and Ink because it would accommodate the variety of palates in our group. Each of us had a delicious dinner. The beef brisket serving was very ample, with enough for leftovers, the fried chicken was great, the salmon delicious and the shared smaller dishes were excellent. We shared the meatballs, curry chicken and beef skewer and enjoyed the variety and the quality. What we also love about Bread and Ink is that it is quiet enough to carry on a conversation at our table, but with enough ambient noise not to be overheard easily. The server was excellent and surprised us with a piece of their signature cake to share among us. A delightful evening, all in all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a wonderful gal!vandyVIPDined on 8/20/2014We so enjoyed chatting with our server, Anika! She was just terrific. She helped us decide which entrees to order and she was enchanting and she was very good at her job! We will return.

- Wonderful experienceaddressforbarbDined on 6/12/2014We brought a group of 15 people to Bread and Ink - most restaurants can barely handle a group this big, but the staff at Bread and Ink were absolute pros. Everyone was extremely happy with their food and the service. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very enjoyable meal, great servicekpeteDined on 6/6/2014This was our first time to Bread and Ink Café. I had the salmon with the cornbread stuffing and it was amazing. The portion was generous, so I had some left over for lunch the next day and it was still very flavorful. Hubby had a burger and he was very pleased with his choice. I also loved the Mojito on the bar menu! The our server was helpful, timely and very pleasant. We definitely will go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Pleasant place to eat on HawthornecurwenVIPDined on 5/22/2014We ate there early (just after 6pm) so the place was fairly empty. The atmosphere is fairly flat and the check-in lady was a little brusque but the waitress was friendly and helpful. The food was good. My wife had two fairly ordinary starters but they were very well-presented and she really enjoyed them. She also had good things to say about the Negroni. Beer choice is pretty good. We would certainly go again but probably later in the evening, although its a great place to people-watch the Hawthorne passers-by!
- Best wafflesBvroom5Dined on 5/11/2014The waffles and chicken are awesome! I would recommend ordering that over the eggs Benedict, which were good but not as seasoned as I like them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good breakfastsIheartptldDined on 5/11/2014Bread and Ink has been serving consistently good breakfasts for many years. I'm pleased every time I go. The help is friendly and efficient. We went on Mother's Day and it was very crowded. We had a reservation and waited about 10 minutes to be seated. Considering how busy it was we had a very good dining experience. The food, as usual, was done well. My only complaint is that there is no waiting area to speak of, but since it's in an old building that can't be helped, I suppose.Special Features:
- Great evening!CathyDined on 5/10/2014Our group of 9 were well taken care of. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was attentive. Always a dependable and affordable choice!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Girlfriends birthday breakfastClaymatesDined on 4/12/2014My girlfriend and I decided to share a birthday breakfast before heading to the studio where we make ceramics. Bread and ink is a favorite of mine, but new to her. We enjoyed the food, though her black bean? Needed a bit more seasonings. The mimosas were perfect and it was quite empty for a Saturday morning, our waiter was very attentive and provided excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Book Club GatheringCathyDined on 4/8/2014Had a very enjoyable evening at Bread & Ink. Service was perfect, food was great, and we were able to take advantage of a nicely reduced price happy hour menu. One of our group members uses a wheelchair and the staff was extremely helpful making sure her needs were accommodated. There's a reason I keep returning to this gem in the neighborhood!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great restaurant!CathyDined on 3/15/2014Neighborhood gem indeed. One of our favorite restaurants in Portland. From a large brunch selection on weekends to a casual burger for lunch or dinner, a tasty steak or seafood pasta, their menu will satisfy anyone at very reasonable prices. Fresh ingredients, excellent service, reasonable wine selection and full bar for cocktails. You can't go wrong with this spot!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bread and Ink Still a Great ComboselectivedinerVIPDined on 3/14/2014Consistent environment of tables far enough apart that you can have a good conversation over good wine and food. Fresh ingredients always used. Delicious desserts that have been available since the restaurant opened many years ago are still available among updated ones. The cassatta espresso frosted not too sweet cake is not to be missed. The wait staff is friendly and uncrushed. I can always count on a filling and flavorful meal at Bread and Ink. Bonus: the Waffle Window is located through a window in the west wall.Special Features:
- You gotta goPickyPattieDined on 3/10/2014Found Bread and Ink on Open Table and took a look at the menu. Yum! And it lived up to its promises... Eggs with biscuit and gravy, waffle with strawberry.

- Well DoneHeathbarVIPDined on 3/8/2014First time I have been here for dinner. Breakfast or Brunch have always been tremendous. This visit the food was good but not outstanding.

Sir Alex Ferguson has picked out Barcelona as the form team in the quarter-finals of the Champions League - and says the men from the Nou Camp are the biggest threat to United's European crown this season.
United managed to edge out the Spanish side in the semi-finals of last season's competition, but the Reds boss believes they have made improvements - without wholesale changes - under new coach Josep Guardiola.
"Barcelona are the form team, they've been terrific this season and everyone's taking notice of them," Sir Alex told the club's official magazine, Inside United.
"Their first half performance against Lyon in the second leg of the first knock-out round was absolutely brilliant, they were four up in no time. They can be a threat to anybody and are quite rightly one of the favourites."
Barcelona are on the opposite side of the draw to United, facing Bayern Munich in their last eight tie next week, meaning that the Reds can only play the La Liga side in the final in Rome.
However, Sir Alex feels all four English sides in the tournament are a major threat to anybody. "The English teams have proven the strength of the Premier League in recent years," he said. "Last season we had three in the semi-finals and two in the final, the previous year there were three in the semis and Liverpool made it to the final.
"But we have to recognise that our threats don't just come from England, the big one will come from Barcelona.
"I'm not sure they've improved a lot from when we met them last season but they've had a better defensive record since Josep Guardiola took over as coach from Frank Rijkaard last year.
"There's maybe been a bit more concentration on defending than there had been in previous times. That's not a criticism of Frank Rijkaard, I just think Guardiola has brought in the awareness that defending is
