See real life people & pets affected by bay runoff
What you have seen is shocking but true: decent people who love the Chesapeake Bay getting life-threatening infections by simply coming in contact with its polluted waters–and their pets, too.
What causes these infections? Every time it rains, the water runs off paved surfaces and washes all the nutrients, chemicals, and dirt into our creeks and streams. An inch of rain falling on an acre of hard surface can produce 27,000 gallons of stormwater runoff.
Stormwater runoff flushes fertilizer from lawns, and pesticides, oil and anti-freeze, pet waste, and sediment (dirt) into the nearest creek or stream from developed areas such as your house, streets, and all hardened surfaces whether shopping centers, churches, schools, parking lots, or highways.
… Read our list of things you can do yourself to minimize runoff at your home , business, office, school, or house of worship…
Share on Facebook
Howard Ernst, political science professor, scholar and author of Chesapeake Bay Blues: Science, Politics, and the Struggle to Save the Bay, recently sat down with local photographer David Joyner to discuss chicken farms as major polluters, why Pennsylvania is such a political nightmare and what is really killing the Chesapeake Bay.

Local photographer David Joyner interviews Riverkeeper Fred Tutman about his rural roots, growing up on a farm, how he came to be the Patuxent Riverkeeper and the specific pollution issues facing the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay, and his life as an environmental activist.

(This is the first in a series of reviews of notable films that we feel should be part of any card-carrying environmental activist's toolkit. We've chosen films that we think have made an important contribution to understanding the challenges facing restoration of the Chesapeake Bay.

(Posted by John D. Wickham.)
Coastal Maryland, encompassing the state's capital, Annapolis, the counties of Anne Arundel, Talbot, and Dorchester, and still other areas, is one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the United States, whose rivers and tributaries feed into the nation's largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay. Though picturesque, this border area where land and sea meet has been under relentless pressure from human population growth and real estate development in the last three decades. Estimates put Southern Maryland's loss of forest cover at more than 160,000 acres in the last fifteen years.

I don't really think that money matters that much during free agency on here, I think other things play also part in where a player will play in the end.
I'm also hoping to sign every player I made offers to. I only have 8 guys on the roster right now after I released my 2nd round picks.
Pfft, I only have 4.
Bojangles doing his thing right about now!!
Who is over the Warriors?
I'm surprised how many FAs are being offered cheap contracts, especially compared to what they made last season.
Hornets78, if all goes as planned (highly unlikely), Etan will be my 6th man.
He probably will, Gooden was an excellent draft pick. Honestly, I'm trying to build a solid defensive team while avoiding players with C or less potential, since they stand a very good chance of getting worse in training camp. Etan fit the bill.
I retracted my fake fake offer.
How in the hell did fake fake even get into this sim league?
There are actually some 2nd round FA's with good potential.
Is there a hard deadline for FA offers/sim on 26th? Like no offers after X:00pm etc
Shoot, hopefully CP can give us a rock solid time for those who may have work and needa get last second offers in

Eight Reasons Why This Was the Best Tour de France in Recent Memory
From fallen champions to Cadel Evans's well-deserved win.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
From fallen champions to Cadel Evans's well-deserved win.
Contador can't quite do it; Evans and the Schlecks still in it.
Cadel Evans, goin' for it.
That is: both being really good cyclists.
As we go into Stage 12, where do things stand in this most crash-tastic Tour de France?
Many injured; contenders affected.
A Brit steps up.
And is almost certainly screwed.
If it hadn't been for that chain...
Schleck isn't expected to win, but he wasn't expected to be this close, either.
Contador fends off attack.
Tomorrow's stage will be crucial.
He promises revenge.
Today's ride up the side of a freaking mountain was apparently not tough enough for anything surprising to occur.
This bicycle race is significantly less pleasant than the one with the naked women in the Queen song.
The Spanish have a good shot at keeping up their winning streak.

Trudi Bresner, 49, owns New York City-based T.BresnerAssociates Inc., a marketing and communications company with seven employees and $2 million in annual sales. After the attacks, "we kept trying to figure out a way that we could help," she says.
So when she got a call two weeks later from a client who needed a favor, she jumped at the chance to give media training to the chief counseling officer and chief doctor for the Fire Department of New York City.
The two officials were going to appear on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on PBS, and they wanted training in how to handle it. Understandably, both men were emotionally on edge from two weeks of counseling the families of 345 firefighters who died in the twin towers. They were going to talk about the services available for firefighters and were nervous that either they wouldn't get out their message, or they might lose their composure on the air. "Because they're in a position of leadership, where do they turn for help?" asks Bresner, explaining her role: "This is support for the support." Bresner spent four hours with the men, letting them vent their feelings and then role-playing answers they might have to give on the show.
Since then, her company has written and designed brochures, e-mails and pamphlets sent to firefighters' families. Again, for free. "We're doing this on a permanent basis," says Bresner, who apparently didn't have to think hard before donating her company's services.
"Entrepreneurs are dependent on people to help them," says Bresner. "To give back is very important."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Bobbi!
Facts about Bobbi
- Breed: American Bobtail
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Bobbi's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and not good with cats.
You can visit Bobbi at the Petsmart in Lake Forest, CA.
Bobbi is a 2 year old, bobtail brown tabby female. What great kitty! Bobbi was found by a good samaritan and after posting signs they were unable to find her owner. Unfortunately, Bobbi did not get along with this person's cats so they brought her to the rescue. She is a great girl ~ friendly, playful, affectionate. When she is not busy playing, she likes to rub on you and sit on your lap to get pets and love. Her fur is so soft and her little bobtail is very cute! Bobbi will need to be the only pet in her new home. Bobbi will make a wonderful, fun companion.
Forever Home Cat Rescue holds adoption events every Sat/Sun from 12-3:00pm at the Petsmart in Rancho Santa Margarita, Foothill Ranch & Lake Forest, CA. For more information please call 949-829-0036.
Other Pets at Forever Home Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bobbi, a Foothill Ranch American Bobtail cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Bobtail for sale in Foothill Ranch, or seeking a American Bobtail cat from a breeder in Foothill Ranch.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Foothill Ranch already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Foothill Ranch breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Bobtail breeders who help with American Bobtail rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Foothill Ranch paves the way for another one to be saved.

I am a little unclear on one part of these cards. The other night I attacked my buddy's army killing him and taking his last card. At this time I had another figure within attacking distance of his capital. If I was to attack his capital when he has no cards would that be an automatic win as he has no cards to fight back with?

Phl senator: Make sure no 'pork' in 2015 budget
"The Senate will exercise the strictest examination of the 2015 national budget to make certain that no revival of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) in any form or calling will occur," said Drilon.
He suggested that funding allocated for PDAF in previous years should be directly channeled for the country's instruments for social services such as massive backing for public hospitals, free public education in higher levels, poverty alleviation program, and assistance to the agricultural sector.
The 2015 national expenditure program being drafted by the DBM is nearing completion. The draft will be the basis of the national budget to be approved by Congress.
Drilon said that the PDAF, declared as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in late 2013 should be avoided altogether in this year's national budget.
"The Supreme Court ruling is clear about when congressional involvement with the budget should end. Therefore anything related to the PDAF in the 2015 national budget should be avoided," he said.
In 2013, the Senate abolished their PDAF months before the SC declared its unconstitutionality.
Drilon also invited the public to be "active watchers" of the national budgeting process.
"To our people, especially to our youth, take a look, probe and examine piece by piece the laws our lawmakers craft for this country especially the national budget. Please help us monitor and make sure that every peso in the 2015 GAA will be spent for the betterment of our nation," he concluded.

A.B. I hate when people complain about their power going out during a major storm. The #1 complaint is always "my food is going to go bad," like the hot pocket that's been in the freezer for 3 years is suddenly the only food left on the planet. But what makes Bostonians special, and Southie resdients even more so, is their ability to adapt in any situation – as long as there is beer involved.
Power out and a fridge full of BL and Sam Adams? No problem. Southie snow fridge to the rescue.
Rate 1 for ehh, 5 for awesome.

Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Does my child have to be Jewish to come to Camp Sisol?
No! Camp Sisol is open to children of all backgrounds. Camp Sisol is a Jewish cultural setting, and children of other faiths don't feel excluded or intimidated.
What happens if I have to drop my child off late or pick him or her up early?
Please call the office in advance of any pick up changes. When you arrive at camp for late drop-off, please stop by the office with your child to sign him or her in. A staff member will take your child to his or her group. When picking up, please report to the office to sign out your child. A staff member will bring your child to the office for pick-up.
Daily Activities
What should my child bring to camp every day?
A water bottle, sunscreen, a bathing suit and towel, closed toed shoes, extra clothes (can be stored in cubbies after the first day).
My camper doesn't enjoy participating in sports/arts/music/etc. Does he or she have to go to that special?
All campers will go to their assigned specials with their group. Campers are never forced to participate in an activity, but are encouraged to try it out. If the camper still does not wish to participate, he or she may sit quietly without disrupting the rest of the group.
What should my child bring for an overnight?
Campers will bring overnight supplies on the bus with them the day of the overnight. Keeping this in mind, it is important to think about packing light, and bringing only necessary items. A complete list of suggested items can be found on the late nights and overnights page.
What if my child does not want to stay for the late night or overnight?
Late nights and overnights are ALWAYS optional. If a camper does not stay for the late night, he or she will return home on the bus with the rest of camp. If your child would like to stay late, but does not wish to sleep over, he or she may be picked up at camp at your convenience.
How do I contact my child's Unit Head (staff member in charge of specific age group)?
Before camp begins, you will be given an email address that can be used to contact your child's unit head. The unit head will also be contacting you with any issues or concerns that arise during the camp day. You may also reach your child's unit head by calling the camp office during camp hours.
How can I find out who my child's counselors are?
This information will be posted on the "Camp Sisol Staff" page, once staff is hired for the summer. If you would like to know who your child's group counselors are, you may ask your child's unit head for that information.
Meals and Snacks
My child has allergies to certain foods. Can he or she bring his or her own food?
No. Because Camp Sisol is a Kosher environment, we cannot allow food to be brought in from the outside. If your child has dietary restrictions or allergies, we are more than happy to accommodate, and will be glad to prepare food that your child will eat.
What does a "Kosher" meal mean?
"Kosher" pertains to the way in which food is prepared. Certain animals are not considered to be Kosher, and therefore are not eaten at camp (eg. pigs, shellfish). Meat and dairy are also never combined in the same meal, and we wait a certain amount of time before serving dairy after a meat lunch. Separate utensils, pots/pans, etc. are used for meat and dairy meals, and are never used interchangeably.
How do I know what swim level my child belongs in?
If your child has taken Red Cross swim lessons before, he or she should have been given a certificate designating which levels have been completed. This can help staff correctly place your child. Additionally, the swim staff will test your child's abilities in the water to determine the appropriate level.
My child has never been swimming before. Does he or she have to go in the pool?
Children are never forced to go in the water, but acclimation to the pool is highly encouraged. Your child's swim instructor will work with your child to get him or her comfortable with the water and eventually going in the pool every day.
Can I request which children my child is placed in a group with?
Yes. On the registration form, there is a section to indicate which children you would like your child to be placed with in a group. We promise at least one match and do our best to accomadate all such requests.
What can I do if I need extended care for just a day or two?
Please call the camp office as soon as you know you will need extended care. The office will add your child to the list, and he or she will ride the After Camp Care bus back to the JCC from camp that day.
My child will be coming to camp as a special needs camper. How do I communicate what he or she will need at camp?
Once we receive your child's registration and the indication that he or she will be a special needs camper, the special needs coordinator will contact you to discuss your child's needs while at camp. He will discuss any concerns you have, and work with you to implement a strategy for your child to streamline the transition from school to camp.
My child will be a CIT at Camp. Will he or she be considered a camper, or a staff member?
Counselors in training are considered campers, though they will have experiences that are unique to both campers and staff. They will have the benefit of participating in camper programs, but will also be gaining valuable work experience.
Health and Safety
What happens if my child gets sick at camp?
If a child becomes ill while at camp, he or she will be taken to the infirmary. The Camp nurse will treat the child to the best of his or her abilities.A child will be sent home if he or she is throwing up or develops a fever higher than 101 degrees. If the child's illness becomes serious, and the child requires care beyond basic first aid, 911 will be called, and the child may be taken to the hospital.
What happens if there is a thunderstorm?
At the first sign of a thunderstorm, the inclement weather procedure will be put into action. Campers in the pool will be immediately evacuated from the pool area, and all campers will be taken to the shelter nearest them, and engaged in activities till the storm clears. Regular activities will resume when thunder has not been heard for 20 minutes.
What happens if my child misses the bus in the morning?
If there is another bus stop on your child's route, you may follow the bus to the next stop and he or she may board there. Due to safety concerns, the bus may not pull over and let passengers on after it has left the stop. If your child's stop is the last on the route, you must follow the bus to Camp Sisol to drop him or her off.
What happens if I am late to pick up my child off the bus?
The bus will wait 5 minutes at each stop, and if no one is there to pick up your child, he or she will ride the bus back to the JCC. He or she will then go to after camp care until someone is able to pick him or her up.
What if my camper needs to ride a different bus one day?
You will need to call the Camp office as soon as possible. The Office will issue a bus change form for your child, and he or she will ride the alternative bus for the day.

Union commerce and industry minister Anand Sharma on Saturday accused Narendra Modi of "political plagiarism", saying the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP's) prime ministerial candidate had nothing new to offer and was rehashing the Centre's achievements. In an exclusive interview to HT, Sharma, however, admitted while Modi had "packaged himself well", the Congress could not successfully articulate its achievements owing to "communication failure".
Modi to be India's next PM: Shivraj Chouhan "He (Modi) talks about industrial corridors when we (the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government) are already working on four of them. "He talks about manufacturing sector. We have already notified 14 National Investment and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZ) and unveiled a National Manufacturing Policy," Sharma said.
Even Modi can't control inflation: Anand Sharma The minister brushed aside Modi's campaign promise to build a Brand India by focusing on five Ts — tradition, talent, tourism, technology and trade. "Are these new concepts in India? Did India ever lack any of these? He is recharging old ideas." Sharma also said Modi had successfully marketed himself as a chief minister who had done wonders to Gujarat. "It is not that we do not enjoy the confidence of the industries. But Modi has packaged himself well. He markets himself as a CM who has ensured phenomenal growth and made Gujarat a favourite destination of investments. "The Opposition created an atmosphere, fuelled by a lot of untruths, fabrication and half-truths. This shrill negative narrative is hurting the India story and we allowed it to be loaded against us," Sharma said.

A divorce, a jail term, determined foes: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar fighting a lone battle?
The divorce between Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal(U) and a few days of change in residence for Rashtriya Janata Dal's Lalu Prasad – from 10, Circular Road in Patna to the Ranchi jail in Jharkhand – have totally changed the game that is played in Bihar.
Angry with the SP, convinced that the Congress is a losing proposition, unsure of AAP's ability to win, and fearful that Mayawati may ally with the BJP in the future, Muslims have a difficult choice.

Jennie says she loves long, skinny tube skirts because they're so flattering and a snap to make with a serger. "You don't have to use a pattern, just cut your fabric 5 inches wider than your measurement. Add an elastic waist, and in two hours you have a new outfit."
She says this skirt can be made with any Janome serger that does a three thread overlock stitch and any Janome sewing machine that has a zigzag stitch.
Jennie made this project using fabric scraps and coordinating her thread colors.

Kenny B "God Bless the Children"
- Words: DJ Chocolate
There's something special about Kenny, and it's obvious enough that his first single has the distinction of being the first Canadian reggae song produced by and featuring Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, alongside veteran Leroy "Artist" Brown. I'm not sure which part is sweetest: his voice, the horns, or the Riddim Twins' performance, but the composite whole is deliciously rich, mellow, and satisfying.

Be sure to watch both videos, one is chocolate another is a vanilla protein review!
If you aren't able to watch the videos for some reason I will sum up the videos below.
Vanilla phase 8 - Just wow! Comparable to pronom23 vanilla cup cake batter. There is no protein aftertaste it is just outright delicious. I was alittle bit skeptical before I tryed this protein. Most companies can not nail the vanilla taste. To be honest I can't tell if its a vanilla bean flavor or a cupcake flavor either way its perfect!
----Mixability .... 10/10
----Taste .... 10/10
----Price .... if the price is anywhere between 25-30$ then it is definitely affordable and priced for competition.
Milk Chocolate - Definitely matches the flavor that is described. Taste like a frozen hot chocolate from dairyqueen. Once again there is no protein aftertaste. They pretty much nailed both of these flavors.
----Mixability .... 10/10
----Taste .... 10/10
----Price ... if the price is anywhere between 25-30$ then it is definitely affordable and priced for competition.
Those two me are the two most important factors of any kind of protein. An added benefit is that they are all milk derived which means no soy protein which is a plus for me.
thanks! also nothing was rehearsed so yeah. Phase 8 seems like a pretty solid protein and I love it. Looking forward to feedback! I would also like to thank Muscle Tech Jake, and Muscletech for the awesome opportunity!

PITTSBURGH — A 2-year-old boy visiting the Pittsburgh zoo was killed Sunday morning when he fell off a railing his mother had put him on top of to view a pack of African painted dogs, who pounced on the child and mauled him, police said.
It was not clear whether the boy died from the fall into the wild dog exhibit area or from the attack, said Barbara Baker, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium.

MONTGOMERY VILLAGE, MD, July 5, 2011 — One of the justifications for giving indicted persons the tools necessary to defend themselves is that we have always believed that it is better for 100 guilty persons to go free, than one innocent person to be wrongly convicted.
It is a premise that a young lawyer, and future president, John Adams, used as a cornerstone for a long political career as one of this country's founding fathers.
For the past several weeks many have sat enthralled in front of their television sets watching the Casey Anthony trial. While the trial did not consume our family's television time, I did watch quite a few hours of this trial.
I was taken aback by some of the claims of the defense, especially those related to sexual abuse of the accused. These claims were not believable to me and were, in my opinion, the defense trying to throw anyone, particularly Casey's father, under the bus to save the defendant.
When the jury's verdict was read this morning, it was met with surprise. People were outraged, especially the media that had assumed Casey Anthony's guilt from the beginning. I too believe that Anthony is guilty of her daughter, Caylee's, death.
However, as an older, educated and rather analytical adult, I understand the concept of "beyond a reasonable doubt."
So I am not surprised that the jurors absolved Casey Anthony of the major crimes of which she had been accused.
What factors could have contributed to the verdict?
My bias makes me believe that people have started turning against drastic punishment, the death penalty, that has been the norm in our country for the last 30 years.
The idea of seeing a young, attractive woman being put to death or spending the rest of her life in jail was not acceptable to them. A friend of mine stated that she believed that if Casey had been an older, unattractive minority, the trial's outcome might have been different. That if the trial had taken place in Texas or Southwest Virginia, that finding Anthony guilty, even condemning her to death would have been more likely.
I have always been against the death penalty. When challenged with the example my wife being raped and killed by a perpetrator, I have always answered that I would hope the person would end up in jail for the rest of his/her life.
But many do support the death penalty. Even Christians, who supposedly abandoned the "eye for an eye" philosophy of the Old Testament for the "do unto others" of the Golden Rule in the New Testament, have favored the death penalty.
But isn't the death penalty nothing more than revenge for a crime? Isn't it a drastic action taken to satisfy the victim's family and friends, the public's moral outrage? If viewed as such, it tends to rationalize the idea that killing is OK, as long as we, in the form of either a jury or the judge in a trial, ratifies it.
While most of us accept that killing in a moment of danger to defend our families and ourselves can be condoned, the acceptance of killing when decided upon by the state and as ordered by a court tends to brutalize society.
We are in fact telling our younger citizens that if "we are acting in defense of justice" we can kill and with millions of persons believing this, society has set itself in the path of harm.
Death penalty proponents originally presented the death penalty as a deterrent to crime. Statistics on the validity of this are, at best ambiguous. Yet, execution of the guilty does not bring back the victims. Or fill the loss of grieving loved ones.
In my opinion, the deterrent argument has been proven false since some states decided to implement the death penalty for capital cases. A simple search on the Internet reveals that states with the death penalty have in fact higher murders rates. In the last decade, the difference has been in the order of around 40%. As a matter of fact, the statistics tend to show that states with liberal gun laws have a higher murder rate.
To me, this is a more important factor.
Another argument against the death penalty is the number of convicted persons that have been exonerated as the result of evidence not presented or ignored in their trials. The Innocence Project has been able to exonerated 272 persons that were accused of, and convicted of, capital crimes.
The state of Illinois under a conservative Republican governor vacated all its executions. This was followed by a death penalty ban for the state signed by Governor Pat Quinn who followed him in governance, to take effect July 1, 2011.
Governor Quinn indicated that his main reason was a broken system that has convicted 20 persons unjustly.
This goal has been ignored more and more as we find ourselves being the victims of crime. We all have read about cases of those who spend years in prison, some awaiting execution, only to later be found innocent of the crimes of which they were convicted.
John Gresham wrote a non-fiction book, "The Innocent Man" about one such case.
So am I happy that Casey Anthony got off all the most serious charges? No I am not. The legal, not the justice, system prevailed today.
However, I am happy she was not given the death penalty in a state that has one of the highest rates of execution in the country.

Another cruise ship disaster!
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 02-15-2013 - 9:51am
My gosh, I have been watching the coverage of the stranded cruise ship ( http://www.today.com/video/today/50793945/#50793945) and I'm thinking I will never go on another cruise. I can't imagine what those people have been through and honestly keep wondering why on earth it took so long to rescue them. It makes no sense to me that in this day and age there wasn't immediate help and they did not get those people off that ship.

Brenda, I too have been watching the coverage just because I am fascinated with cruise ships after taking a wonderful cruise with my husband a few year ago. It seems like there is just one disaster after another with them anymore. It does make me think twice about ever getting on another one.
I find it quite interesting that the passengers are reporting far worse conditions than the managment and spokespeople for the cruise line. Is there something wrong with the Carnival management that they've never heard of cell phones?
I bet those people are so glad to be off that ship!
|Fri, 02-15-2013 - 10:48am
We've been watching; there were over two dozen passengers from my neck of the woods. High school students, a newlywed couple and others... I know a group of parents had driven over to Mobile to wait for the ship. I would be terriffied it my kid were aboard.

Bayou Teche Brewing la Vuelta de Acadiana 2011
The summer up until this point has been filled with criteriums. My last road race was in May! This last weekend, I broke the criterium mold by traveling to Louisiana and doing a full-on omnium. Overall, I had a blast, but was disappointed with the results. I felt like my fitness is at a higher place than what the results show. But I could be blowing smoke, too.
The TT was pancake flat, straight 5 miles with a slight tail wind. It was fast. It was extremely hot, but the course was partially shaded by large cypress and oak trees lining the country road. The fastest 3 did the course in under 10 minutes. I did terrible. I haven't been practicing the TT discipline since early April, so I was definitely off my game. I came in with a time of 10:40, which is roughly 28 mph. I cam a way knowing I could have done better. This was very frustrating. In fact, on Tuesday of this week, I did the 5 mile TT on a similar course and did it 30 seconds faster. My average power was a full 10 watts higher. I know this extra time was from a total loss of concentration half way through. I could do the effort, but my mind was somewhere else, and I dropped off the pacing I had set. This goes to show that I need to practice this important discipline more often.
The criterium was a great course right outside the host hotel. There were a lot of people lining the street to watch. The course a little 'b' in shape, with a 180 degree turn and a loop around a city block. With slight elevation changes and tight corners, it was sure to be a fast race.
I felt really good in the race. I stayed near the front and marked 2 people I thought would be strong in the race. There were 2 major teams battling it out for dominance, so I mostly followed promising moves and stayed at the front. I felt confident for the sprint in the last lap, and made a move to gain about 3-4 places, when I was accidentally shoved into the gutter. To avoid crashing, I slammed on the brakes losing all my momentum. I finish mid pack, but felt good that I was able to contest. Sprints take a lot of skill and some luck, and for this sprint my luck wasn't there.
Road Race
The Road Race was pretty disappointing. An early break went up the road, with representation from the 3 big teams in the race. I was very concerned because I felt there were no teams left to chase, and quickly got to the front. I would keep the pace high to keep the break close and in check for my sprinter teammate, Jon. No one else was very concerned about this move, so I was the only one chasing for a while. The problem was, the race was an omnium. There was no reason for teams to worry about time because they were going for points. Time didn't matter. Even if the 4-man break was 10 minutes ahead, 5th would still get good points. So the podium riders would still keep their overall wins. Unfortunately, my team only had the stage win to think about. This meant we wanted to catch the break. But the peloton consisted of 3 guys interested in catching the break, and another 12 guys interested in blocking.
I was keeping the pace high at around 25 mph (~290- 300 watts) and keeping the break to about 1 minute with minimal help. I began to tire, not being able to keep such a high pace with limited support. The break then started to increase its lead and eventually had 4 minutes on the field at the end. When we figured out we weren't going to catch the break, Jon was going to try a make it into a late attack that was sure to happen as the top five riders tried to gain points on their opponents. If we could get a top 5-7 placing, that would be a great win for us. Unfortunately, it was not his day, and he sprinted for third in the group , taking 13th on the day.
In the end, some bigger teams did exactly what they were supposed to do by keeping a tight fist on the control of the race. Looking back, I should have known there was no way bring the break back with me and another guy working. the correct strategy would have been to take a chance and gone with the early attacks, knowing that the leaders would not be interested with racers with no omnium points. This is a lesson I have not previously experienced, because the only other omnium I have done, I was in contention for the overall win. It would not have been smart for me to try and break away just so everyone could follow me in that situation.
This post was pretty gloomy, so to cheer you (read me) up, here's a picture of THE GOD OF THUNDER! THOOOOOOR HUSHOVD. This is currently my background for my work computer! Photo credit goes to Mark Johnson, thanks to Slipstream Sports.

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) -- Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials say a man from El Salvador accused of a slaying in that country has been deported from Virginia.
Thirty-one-year-old Jose Yuber Antonio Del Cid-Cruz, who lived in Falls church while he was in the U.S. illegally, was deported to El Salvador on Tuesday. He is charged in a 2009 slaying there.
ICE officials say Del Cid-Cruz is a member of the MS-13 gang. This is the third time he has been deported.
Authorities say he was convicted last year in federal court in northern Virginia for illegally re-entering the U.S. ICE took custody of Del Cid-Cruz on March 1.

7 Tips to Help Your Relationship Get Over a Bad Day
This guest article from Psych Central was written by Nathan Feiles
Have you ever had one of those days where it's clear that your relationship is more aggravating than soothing?
Every relationship has its share of frustrating days. An occasional bad day is expected and normal in any relationship. Only when the negatives begin to outweigh the positives is it time to become concerned.
Dr. John Gottman, a relationship specialist, identified through his research a concept he calls positive sentiment override. This refers to the lens through which we view and experience our relationship and partner on a regular basis:
Is our relationship and view of our partner generally positive with moments of negativity, or vice versa?
Gottman's research suggests that it is important to view our partner's negative moments as the exception to a bank of positivity built up over time in the relationship. If it seems that our partner's positive moments are only the exceptions to consistent negativity — whether in attitude or relationship environment — then there is a greater likelihood of eventual breakup or divorce.
Simply stated, the culprit of relationship demise is not always the content of the arguments or the frustrations. Our perception of these events and our overall relationship environment also are important. However, for many of us, creating this concept of positive sentiment override in our relationships is much more easily said than done.
So, let's look at some ways to create a healthy relationship environment with our partner that's based on a bank of positivity:
1. Three positives to every one negative.
When your partner acts in a way that triggers negative emotion for you, come up with at least three positive things he or she does that either make you feel good, or that support the positive nature of your relationship.
2. Weekly togetherness activity.
Try doing something together on a weekly basis. It could be a date, but it could also be a productive activity, such as planning an event, building a model, baking cookies, doing a puzzle, making a photo album, writing a story, etc. Make it active rather than passive (e.g., watching TV together is passive interaction).
3. Turn frustration into an opportunity.
Is your partner having a bad day and acting coldly (or otherwise) toward you? Rather than joining in the negativity, try to understand what's bothering your partner. See how you can be supportive to him or her. Keep in mind, once arguments start, listening stops on both sides. So having a productive conversation that can foster repair contributes to a healthy relationship environment.
4. Be mindful of the bad day.

The Long View
For designer Kelly Behun, creating a weekend house in Long Island for her family was no small matter. The result is a stunning series of glass-and-stone pavilions by the sea that mixes the austere with the playful
By Nancy Hass
In the crook of a curving white plaster staircase is a 10-foot sculpture that is also pure Behun. "I found this five-foot rattan vase at a local store," she explains. "I painted it black, figuring I'd like it against the white of the staircase. But it didn't work, so I got another one and stacked it upside down on the first one. And then I coiled rope around it and painted the whole thing white."
