This time, Lakers is making a quiet run for a seat on the University of Nebraska Board of Regents.
Two years ago, Lakers appeared to be on track to give Nebraska Democrats a viable shot at taking the governor's office but he later dropped out of the race and then admitted in court to falsifying 51 of 80 campaign pledges on his finance reports. He pleaded guilty to one count of abusing public records and was fined $500.
Now, Lakers says he wants to focus on improving Nebraska's university system, which he argues has long been underfunded and is pricing students out of a college education.

Artificial flowers
Whether you're buying flowers to brighten your home and add a little colour, or trying to find the perfect gift for a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion, there's no doubt that one of our beautiful bouquets will tick all of the boxes. However, if you're looking for something slightly longer lasting, why not invest in an arrangement of artificial flowers?

More About Artifical Flowers
First popular in the 1980's, artificial flowers used to be made entirely of plastic, but things have changed dramatically since then. Now crafted from materials such as silk and velvet, they look incredibly real and are often difficult to spot; more and more people are using them as bouquets and table arrangements during weddings and other special occasions, simply because of how practical they are. While you can always press real flowers after the event, taking home armfuls of silk flowers and decorating your home with them is a brilliant way of remembering just how special the day was.
With all of the benefits of real flowers, and with a few advantages of their own, artificial flowers are often a wise choice; they're a brilliant solution for anyone who has trouble remembering to care for real plants or flowers, as there is no watering, no feeding and no rearranging involved. There's also the added bonus that artificial flowers are better for the home, as there are no dropping petals to stain your linen, and nothing to aggravate allergies in people.
The real plus of artificial flowers, though, is simply their cost-effectiveness. You pay once, and end up with a beautiful bouquet or arrangement that will last a lifetime; they're guaranteed not to wilt or die after a week or so, and won't ever need replacing. They're ideal for home decoration, and also to celebrate a special occasion; from a happy wedding, to the birth of a beautiful new baby, the gift of artificial flowers will guarantee a lifelong memory of a wonderfully happy event.

Amalfi was a Pisa-class armored cruiser of the Italian Royal Navy (Italian: Regia Marina) built in the first decade of the 20th century. She was a participant in the Italo-Turkish War and the First World War before she was sunk in July 1915.
The ship was the second of two ships of the Pisa class, which was designed in 1904. In the Italian classification system at the time of their building, the Pisa ships were considered second-class battleships. The lengthy construction of Amalfi began before her keel was laid in July 1905. The ship was launched in May 1908 and completed in September 1909. The ship was armed with four 254-millimetre (10.0 in) guns in two twin turrets, eight 190-millimetre (7.5 in) guns in four twin turrets, and numerous smaller guns. The ship was also equipped with three 450-millimetre (18 in) underwater torpedo tubes. Amalfi 's armor thickness ranged from 130 millimetres (5.1 in) on the decks up to 200 millimetres (7.9 in) on her sides.
During the Italo-Turkish War, Amalfi operated with the Italian fleet off Tripoli in September 1911 and participated in the amphibious landings at Derna in October. In April 1912, Amalfi and sister ship Pisa led the way in attacks on Turkish forts in the Dardanelles. After the rest of the fleet retired later in the month, the pair of armored cruisers remained in the area to attack Turkish communications facilities. After the Treaty of Lausanne signed in October 1912 ended the war, Amalfi escorted the Italian king and queen on the royal yacht to Germany and Sweden during a 1913 visit.
At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, Italy declined to join her Triple Alliance partners, Germany and Austria-Hungary. The country was eventually persuaded to side with the Entente Powers and declared war on neighboring Austria-Hungary in May 1915. After the Austro-Hungarian Navy raided the Italian coast with relative impunity in May and June, Amalfi, Pisa, and two other armored cruisers were sent to Venice to thwart future sorties by the Austrians. Shortly after their arrival, the ships were sent—in a show of force—to patrol near the main Austrian naval base at Pola on the night of 6/7 July 1915. During Amalfi 's return from that mission, she was torpedoed by Austria-Hungarian submarine U-26 (in fact SM UB-14 flying the Austro-Hungarian flag, since Germany and Italy were not yet at war) and sunk with the loss of 67 men. Amalfi 's loss caused the Italians to keep the other armored cruisers at Venice in port for most of the next year before they were eventually relocated.
Design and construction[edit]
The Pisa class was designed in 1904 by Italian engineer Giuseppe Orlando, who attempted to replicate on a smaller scale the armament and armor of the Regina Elena-class battleships then entering the service of the Regia Marina. According to the Italian classification system at the time, the Pisa ships were considered second-class battleships, but Conway's All the World 's Fighting Ships, 1906–1921 classes them as armored cruisers. For ships of their displacement, Conway 's considers them to have been heavily armed, but inferior to battlecruisers, a type introduced during the Pisa class' long construction time.[1]
Work began on the pair of Pisa-class ships in August 1904, nearly a year before the keel of Amalfi was laid down on 24 July 1905. It was nearly three years before Amalfi was launched on 5 May 1908. The ship was completed on 1 September 1909, just over four years after her keel was laid.[1]
As built, Amalfi was 461 feet (140.5 m) long overall by 68 feet 11 inches (21.01 m) abeam, with a draft of 22 feet 8 inches (6.91 m). She had twin propeller shafts powered by two vertical triple-expansion steam engines. The steam engines were fed from 22 coal-fired Belleville boilers. The projected output of her power plant was 20,000 indicated horsepower (15,000 kW), but in service Amalfi was able to produce 20,260 indicated horsepower (15,110 kW)—some 600 indicated horsepower (450 kW) less than her sister ship, Pisa—which was enough to give a maxiumum speed of 23.6 knots (43.7 km/h).[1]
Amalfi 's main battery consisted of four 10-inch (254 mm)/45[Note 1] guns mounted in two twin turrets.[1] Each of the guns, manufactured by the Elswick Ordnance Company of the United Kingdom, weighed 34.5 long tons (35.1 t). The guns fired 500-pound (230 kg) armor-piercing projectiles with a bag propellant charge weighing 186 pounds (84 kg) at 2,854 feet per second (870 m/s) at up to 2.6 rounds per minute. At the maximum elevation of 25°, the guns had an effective range of about 27,300 yards (25,000 m). The turrets were arranged on the centreline of the ship, one fore and one aft of the superstructure. The gun turrets could be rotated 150° in either direction from the centerline of the ship (for a sweep of 300°), and allowed for depression down to −5° and elevation up to 25°.[2]
The ship's secondary battery consisted of eight 7.5-inch (190 mm)/45 guns mounted in four twin turrets.[1] These guns—also manufactured by Elswick—fired 200.4-pound (90.9 kg) armor-piercing projectiles with about 71.2 pounds (32.3 kg) of bag propellent at a muzzle velocity of 2,835 ft/s (864 m/s). At a 25° elevation, the range of the guns was about 24,000 yards (22,000 m). Two gun turrets were located fore and aft of the superstructure on each side of the ship; each turret had a sweep of about 160° and an elevation range of −7° to 25°.[3]
Other armament on Amalfi consisted of sixteen 76-millimetre (3.0 in)/40 guns, eight 47-millimetre (1.9 in)/50 guns, and four machine guns. She was also equipped with three 450-millimeter (17.7 in) underwater torpedo tubes.[1]
Amalfi was protected by a main belt of armor 200 millimetres (7.9 in) thick. The 10-inch gun turrets were protected by 160 millimetres (6.3 in) of armor plate, and the 7.5-inch gun turrets by 130 millimetres (5.1 in). The conning tower had armor 180 millimetres (7.1 in) thick, while the deck was 130 millimeters.[1]
Italo-Turkish War[edit]
Amalfi and sister ship Pisa both entered service in 1909, but there is little information in sources on their activities until the 1911 Italo-Turkish War. On 24 September 1911, five days before Italy declared war against the Ottoman Empire to start the conflict, Amalfi departed from Syracuse for Tripoli as part of a squadron that included battleships Roma and Napoli; armored cruisers Pisa, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Varese, and Francesco Ferruccio; and two flotillas of destroyers.[4] Five days later, Amalfi and several of the other ships were seen taking on coal at Malta,[5] before heading on to blockade Tripoli.[6]
On 2 October, a division headed by the battleship Benedetto Brin relieved Amalfi 's groups in blockade duty, allowing them to proceed to the east to join the main Italian fleet.[6] Napoli, Amalfi, and Pisa were joined by the recently commissioned armored cruiser San Marco, three destroyers, and two torpedo boats. The group escorted several Italian transports that arrived off Derna on 15 October. After negotiations for a surrender of the town fell apart, Pisa shelled the barracks and a fort. There was no return fire from Derna, so a boat with offers of a truce was sent in. When it was greeted by a volley of rifle fire Amalfi and the other armored cruisers opened fire on the town with their 190-millimeter (7.5 in) guns and, according to a contemporary account, "completely destroyed" the town in 30 minutes time.[7] A landing party dispatched at 14:00 was unable to reach the shore because of rough seas and gunfire from the shore. Amalfi and company then shelled the beach until 16:00. Weather conditions prevented a landing until the 18th, when 1,500 men took possession of the Derna.[7]
On 13 April 1912, Amalfi sailed from Taranto as part of the Italian 1st Squadron, which consisted of the battleships Vittorio Emanuele (the squadron flagship), Roma, and Napoli; fellow armored cruisers Pisa, San Marco, and Vettor Pisani. The squadron was initially destined for Tripoli, but was diverted to the Aegean Sea to bombard the Turkish coast. The 2nd Squadron—consisting of battleships Regina Margherita (squadron flagship), Benedetto Brin, Ammiraglio di Saint Bon, and Emanuele Filiberto; and armored cruisers Francesco Ferrucio, Varese, and Giuseppe Garibaldi—sailed from Tobruk and Augusta at the same time. The two squadrons rendezvoused at Stampalia on 17 April. At 06:30, Pisa and Amalfi steamed into the Dardanelles in advance of the Italian fleet in an attempt to draw out the Turkish fleet. Four Turkish shore batteries, outfitted with 18 Krupp guns ranging from 8 to 11 inches (200 to 280 mm) in size fired on the Italian fleet. The Italians, firing at a range of 8,000 metres (8,700 yd), returned fire in an exchange that lasted more than two hours.[8] Official Italian reports claimed that no ships were hit and specifically rebutted Turkish claims that Varese had been set on fire,[8] but a summary in The New York Times reports that Varese was hit twice.[9] On 19 April, the Italian fleet departed for home, but left Amalfi, Pisa, and an assortment of smaller craft to continue destroying telegraph stations and cutting cables.[8]
One other action of note involving Amalfi occurred on 28 April when a party of 250 men recruited from her complement and that of Pisa took the Turkish garrison on the island of Astropalia.[10] The 1912 Treaty of Lausanne that ended the war was signed on 18 October.
Interwar period[edit]
In the period between the end of the Italo-Turkish War in 1912 and Italy's entry into the First World War in 1915, Amalfi is mentioned in several news accounts that offer hints of her peace-time activities. In June 1913, Amalfi escorted King Victor Emmanuel III and his wife, Queen Elena, on the royal yacht Trinacria to the annual regatta at Kiel, Germany. While there, Victor Emmanuel met with Kaiser Wilhelm II, to discuss—it was speculated in a contemporary news report—the ongoing Balkan War. After departing from Kiel, Amalfi escorted the King and Queen on Trinacria to their next stop at Stockholm.[11]
By November, Amalfi was back in Italian waters when Admiral Cattolica, the former Italian Minister of the Marine, and the captains of Amalfi and the battleship Emanuele Filiberto greeted United States Navy Admiral Charles J. Badger at Naples on his flagship, USS Wyoming. During the Wyoming 's stay, one stop on the battleship's 1913 Mediterranean tour, Badger returned the visits and toured Amalfi as part of his courtesy calls.[12]
First World War[edit]
At the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, Italy declined to join its Triple Alliance partners Germany and Austria-Hungary when they declared war against the Entente Powers, opting instead to remain neutral. Pressure from the United Kingdom and France swayed Italy to sign the secret Treaty of London on 26 April 1915. In the agreement, Italy promised to leave the Triple Alliance and declare war against its former allies within a month in return for territorial gains after the end of the war.
At the beginning of May, Amalfi was part of the squadron headquartered at Brindisi that included six pre-dreadnought battleships—Regina Elena, Vittorio Emanuele, Roma, Napoli, Benedetto Brin, and Ammiraglio di Saint Bon—and four armored cruisers—Pisa, San Marco, San Giorgio, and Amalfi herself.[13]
After Italy's declaration of war against Austria-Hungary on 23 May, Admiral Anton Haus, the fleet commander of the Austro-Hungarian Navy sortied his fleet to bombard the Italian coast on the night of 23/24 May in an attempt to disrupt the Italian mobilization. Of the many targets, Ancona was hardest hit, with disruptions to the town's gas, electric, and telephone service; the city's stockpiles of coal and oil were left in flames.[14] All of the Austrian ships safely returned to port, making it seem that they had been able to attack with impunity, putting political pressure on the Regia Marina from Rome.[15] When the Austrians resumed attacks on the Italian coast in mid-June, Italian Admiral Paolo Thaon di Revel responded by sending Amalfi and the other armored cruisers at Brindisi—the navy's newest—to Venice to supplement the older ships already there.[16] Historian Lawrence Sondhaus argues that the arrival of the four fast armored cruisers in Venice should have been a major deterrent against future Austrian coastal raids, but concedes that they ended up becoming more inviting targets for Austrian U-boats instead.[16]
Shortly after the arrival of the quartet of cruisers at Venice, Amalfi participated in a "reconnaissance in force" mission near the Austro-Hungarian port of Pula on the night of 6/7 July 1915.[17][18] After completion of the mission, the cruiser was about 20 nautical miles (37 km) from Venice when she was torpedoed by the Austrian submarine U-26 at dawn on 7 July.[17][19] U-26—in actuality the German submarine UB-14, marked as an Austrian vessel and flying the Austrian flag since Italy and Germany were not at war—was under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Heino von Heimburg, and on her first patrol.[17]
Amalfi immediately began listing to port and, after initial damage control efforts proved fruitless, her commander ordered the ship evacuated. The cruiser sank less than 30 minutes after she was torpedoed. Distress calls were answered by other ships of the division which rescued a large number of the ship's complement.[19] The loss of men was reported as about 200 at the time,[19] but later reports list only 67 fatalities.[20] Amalfi was among the largest ships sunk by U-boats during the war.[21] As a result of Amalfi 's sinking, sister ship Pisa and the other pair of armored cruisers at Venice rarely ventured out of port for most of the next year, and were eventually transferred to Valona in April 1916.[22]

Best place on the island!Posted on 12 / 04 / 2012
This is my favorite place to go when I'm vacationing on LBI! Everything is delicious & fresh. Great value. The people working there are super friendly & helpful. It's really small inside, but you can sit outside at a picnic table. If you have your dog with you, they will even bring out a bowl of water for him/her. My only complaint is that I wish they were open for breakfast & open 7 days a week! I really hope they recover from hurricane Sandy and open again soon.
Cons: wish they were closer to home

DataNumen Exchange Recovery (formerly Advanced Exchange Recovery) 22.214.171.124
Educational institutions and non-profit organizations can purchase DataNumen Exchange Recovery with a 20% discount using a dedicated coupon.
Microsoft Exchange online folder files, in case of a server problem. It is designed to salvage data from the OST files saved on your computer, if the Exchange server crashes or severe damage occurs.
Extract data from local OST files
Even if the dedicated server fails, the Exchange offline folder files on the client computer still contain email texts, attachments or contacts, afferent to your Exchange email account. The software can scan the orphaned or corrupted Exchange offline folder files, in OST format and retrieve the available data from them.
After extracting un-damaged data from OST files, the software can save the pieces of information in PST files, that can be opened on other applications. You need to simply select the specified OST file and select the output file format. The supported file types are PST, compatible with different versions of Microsoft Outlook.
Single file recovery or batch processing
DataNumen Exchange Recovery can process an OST file individually, or manage multiple such documents simultaneously. You can load multiple files to the waiting list and let the software scan them, extract data and save it to your computer.
The Exchange offline folder files are generated automatically when you create an Exchange account. However, if you do not know where they were saved, or if they were moved to a different location, you need not search for them manually. Instead, you may select the Search function and let the software scan the computer and locate the supported files.
Output options
You may set the software to automatically split the output files into multiple documents, if their size is larger than a specified value, or to apply heuristic root folder recovery. Moreover, you may select which of the five different advanced recovery methods you wish the software to perform.
DataNumen Exchange Recovery is an intuitive and powerful recovery tool that enables you to save information from damaged Exchange offline folder files. The software presents a valuable solution in case of Microsoft Exchange server disaster, since it can recover most of the data from corrupted OST files and save it as PST format on your computer.

What a fabulous day - thank you so much for supporting this year's event. We had a record turnout of young people so a big 'thank you' to the schools who got behind the event and encouraged their pupils to take part.
Particular thanks to everyone who helped on the day and also to everyone who has taken the trouble to raise sponsorship through their participation. The total raised already stands at £45,000. Every penny raised by this event will go to the Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre to support people affected by cancer. On behalf of the patients whom we support - 'thank you'.
We've already started planning for 2015 and hope we'll be seeing you again next year. Meanwhile, happy running!

John Paul II to be beatified by Pope Benedict XVI on the Feast of Divine Mercy Comments
The sentiment of the faithful "Santo Subito" echoed as the Church discerned the cause of his canonization. Now, he will be raised to the Altar on the Feast of Divine Mercy and the faithful will call him "Blessed John Paul II." We will soon affirm what miracles effected by his intercession confirm, John Paul II is a Saint. Continue Reading

Pope John Paul II was an amazing human being and truly embodied what it means to be a follower of Christ. He was loved throughout the world by Christians and non-Christians alike. What a beautiful human being and a model of all of us to follow.

I'm still remembered vividly the visit of pope JPII to the Netherlands in Spring 1985. I had just finished my high school year and was a "catholic" but didn't have any clue what it was. The church services had no soul. Only old people went there on Sunday and from the 600 seats only about 40-50 churchgoers attended. I have witnessed and lived in the culture of death where materialism, selfishness and immorality were praised by the radio, newspaper and MTV. So no wonder when he visited the Netherlands it was the most humiliating experience this country could give him, the media asked for same sex marriage, celibacy abandoning, promoting condom etc. By this controversy and curious about this pope I started reading his first released book in the mainstream media: "Over the threshold of Hope". This was the time turning point in my life. I love JPII since then and he has always been a saint and my beloved angel, father, brother and most of all a teacher who has brought me daily since then to the Holy Spirit, Jesus, Mary and God and to the Church. God, I thank you for giving JPII to my life!!

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Saint Pope John Paul II, pray for us!
We await, with joyful anticipation, May 1.
The reader may be interested to know that May first is also, importantly, the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker and the first day of the month of Mary, dedicated to the Most Holy and Blessed Virgin Herself.
Significantly though, May first, this year, falls on a Sunday and this Sunday in particular is The Great Feast of Divine Mercy, the Feast that follows the Novena of Divine Mercy (nine days of prayer preceding the Feast).
This is a devotion that was very close to Pope John Paul's heart and to the faithful throughout the whole world. It is a message of particular and immense importance for our time.
The reader would do well to research this devotion.

what we see, praise and appreciate in Pope John Paul II was not what he became after his coronation as Pope. Rather what he always was as Karol, Lord God brought to light for our sake. His life story is a challenge and a hope to every person. He is a true leader. He will be called Blessed, and we must follow. Our true love for him will be made known if we love the One He loved, if we become what he strive to be in and through the Grace of God. Every age needs a saint the Lord knows our human need. we are blessed to have (Blessed) Mother Theresa and now Pope John Paul II. It is up to every Christian to respond to this call to be the next. Call to love the Ultimate Love thereby becoming the shadow of His Light to the nations.

Cognizant Technology Solutions Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Turning to the future. Our pipeline remains robust across industries and services. Our approach of reinvesting in the business has given us the deep client relationships and leading-edge service offerings to help clients embrace the changing Future of Work. As a result, we are comfortable with our ability to deliver revenue of at least $1.875 billion for the third quarter and at least $7.34 billion for the year.
It's important to note that we have maintained our guidance for the full year despite the currency headwind which, based on current exchange rates, has resulted in a negative impact of over $20 million for quarters 2 through 4 compared to rates when we last provided guidance in early May. In addition to this strong revenue outlook, we are pleased to increase our full year EPS guidance by $0.02.
Let me now hand it over to Gordon, who will discuss our operating results in our core business. I'll then come back and provide some commentary on our emerging service offerings before handing the call over to Karen to cover our financial metrics. And as always, we'll leave time at the end of the call for questions. Gordon?
Gordon J. CoburnThank you, Francisco. We had a solid quarter. Despite the uncertainty and volatility in the markets, clients continue to act under dual mandate of cost savings and operational efficiencies combined with innovation and transformation. Demand patterns within our industries played out as anticipated, and we continue to see opportunities across all areas of our business, including our core IT services, which we call Horizon 1 as well as our Horizon 2 services, which include BPO, infrastructure management, which we refer to as ITIS and consulting. And we are also seeing increased interest around our next generation of offerings, which we refer to as Horizon 3.

3 Ways We're Sacrificing for a Summer Vacation
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- With the calendar turned to June, thought turns to sunny beaches, cool mountains and lazy days nursing a lemonade without a care in the world.
Three-quarters of Americans are looking forward to a vacation this summer (176 million travelers in all), according to the latest American Express Spending & Savings Tracker. That figure is up from 69% last year and 59% from 2012, suggesting that Americans are feeling better about the economy, and maybe also need a break after one of the most volatile economic periods in U.S. history.
They may need to figure out a way to pay for their vacations, though.
"We are seeing that Americans are indeed spending more, but they are still being resourceful in order to cut costs where they can," says Claire Bennett, an executive vice president at American Express Travel. "Travelers are doing their homework and taking more time to plan, ensuring they get the best deal possible without sacrificing those little extras that make their trips special. Most will plan trips at least a month in advance and expect to visit an average five websites to find deals."How are we, as a nation, paying for all of this sun and fun? By cutting costs wherever possible and making choices that offer a reduced price tag on summer trips. That's what 90% of Americans plan to do this summer, according to Amex. Here's a look at how Americans are reducing the price of a vacation over the next 12 weeks:

Out of Stock
Item # PLZ0436
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Short Finger Cycling Gloves in stock than that.
Pearl Izumi Select Gel Gloves $0.00
Happy palms the morning after.
Let's face it, caring for a Pittards leather glove requires a bit of effort, more than you may want to put into a pair of gloves. The Pearl Izumi Select gel gloves offer comfort rivaling any Pittards leather glove in an easier to care for and less expensive package.
The secret to the gloves' durability is the Clarino synthetic leather used in the palm. Clarino isn't quite as soft or as sensitive as Pittards, but it can be machine-washed day-in and day-out without drying out, shrinking, or stretching. The Comfort Bridge Gel padding places gel pads at the bottom of your palm on either side of the Ulnar and Median nerves to prevent discomfort caused by nerve compression.
The backs of the gloves are cut from Direct-Vent mesh to give excellent breathability and optimal fit, while an absorbent polyester panel on the thumb gives you a way to wipe your face. A Velcro closure cinches the gloves on the underside of the wrists.
The Pearl Izumi Select gel glove comes in nine colors: White, Black, Blue, Red, Screaming yellow, Jetstream scroll, Black scroll, White scroll, and Roseblossom scroll and five sizes: S-XXL.

Poorly placed embroidery
I have to question the design choice of putting the stitched GEL into the terry cloth exactly where you'd use it to wipe your brow or worse, your poor chapped nose. Otherwise, decent glove.
Nate Tovornik
Fantastic gloves. The padding is spectacular and fit/comfort is second just as good. I'd choose these over the standard Select Glove by Pearl, as the Gel feels a little nicer.
Dan Gray
Great fit and feel
I purchased a pair of these for daily commuting in northeast Florida and they are exactly what I needed. Light-weight, breathable, and very comfortable. Some other riders have mentioned sweaty palms but I have not experienced that in the limited time I've owned them. Overall I think they do a great job and cushion the vibration well on non-suspension forks.
PI select gel
I've liked these gloves. they are way padded and the top fabric is pretty comfy. I like the velcro closure on the bottom of the wrist. they have held up well so far
Mike S.
Happy with these gloves!
I chose to go with gel gloves because I was having problems with my hands going numb even on short rides. When I bought these gloves, I first made changes to my seat height and position to make sure that that wasn't the problem, but my hands went numb again after 10 miles. The next day I used these gloves on a 40 mile ride with the same bike setup without any numbness. Great gloves IMHO.
really good fit
I like these gloves, they are comfortable on your palms because they have just enough padding and its not bulky, very breathable. Great summer glove.
T. von Thelen
Excellent - comfort and fully functional
I gave these gloves a bit of research and read others reviews before ordering a pair. They do exactly as described and I will be adding several more pair to my biking wardrobe!
Pearl Isumi Gel Glove
great gloves, comfortable, no hand numbness
missing terry wipe on thumb that most gloves have

Those Pearl Izumi gloves look great & I'd like to get them for my husband. Can someone tell me where they are made? He's particular about things like that. Unfortunately our last bike store in town closed a year or so ago.
silly me. I just read the information on the side wall. ok, they're made in China. Does anyone know of any good gloves that are NOT made in China. It's the one country he really has issue with. I don't want to get into politics (I get enough at home). I just would like a recommendation for gloves not made in China. Thanks!

Had I been around back then I would have suggested cutting off the tag and hoping Hubby simply thought they were "handcrafted in Venice"...
Great padding but a little sweaty in the palms . . .
I've worn the Pearl Izumi Select Gel Gloves on rides about half a dozen times so far. The gel padding is great, but my palms are sweaty after each of my rides; I live in the southeast so it's pretty hot during the summers. Because the Pearl Izumi Select Women Gel Gloves only come in pink and white, I bought these unisex gloves instead that offer more colors. Overall, I would recommend these gloves.
Pearl Izumi Select Gel Gloves
The Pearl Izumi Select Gel Gloves are very comfortable and make my trail rides a joy. They help keep your hands from getting blisters and feeling like sandpaper after a long day of biking. I highly recommend these to any serious rider
Pretty cool
These are pretty cool gloves, much better than my older Novara brand (from REI) - the gel makes them comfortable when riding against a rugged handle bar. I wouldn't give them 5 stars because I don't feel they breathe too well, my palms were a little sweaty on hot days.
Greg Goodson
Pearl Izumi Select Gel Glove Review
The Pearl Izumi Select Gel Glove provides ultimate comfort. Great for biking, and also great for hiking those trails where you need to get on your hands and knees because the person (or goat) who designed the single-track trail was insane.
These gloves are light-weight, functional, durable, and comfortable all in one. I was happy I made this purchase.
Do these breathe well? Looks like the palms...
Do these breathe well? Looks like the palms might get very sweaty...
They have a lot of mesh on the tops of the glove and the palm is perforated so it breathes better. Shouldn't get too hot, these gloves are made for hot/summer conditions.
Dan Gray
They breathe quite well. My hands are rarely sweaty unless it's just really humid outside.
Brian B.
Love the big sizes!
This is a totally functional and well made glove. I love the XXL size, my hands are huge and it can be hard to find gloves (especially for cycling) that fit well. These do the trick, and do it in style. The red does turn a little pink-ish when stretched out over white skin though
Summer Riding
So far these are the most comfortable summer glove I've owned. True to size and cool colors. A steal for the price.

|I live in Central, Indiana (roughly zone 6). What would be good evergreen shrubs that do well in partial shade? We have little room for more trees, and I am trying to plant with mostly native Indiana/Midwest selections.
We are restoring a backyard that had been overrun with invasive asian bush honeysuckle. Entertainment and wildlife are the primary two features. We have several deciduous trees and fruiting shrubs in the works, but I am not familiar with what some of these will look like in the winter.
Follow-Up Postings:
|yew is the best evergreen for shade..... most evergreens prefer full sun...it comes in many shapes and sizes but alas is toxic to animals. privet would fit the bill and provide wildlife food but is another invasive so you probably won't want that : ) mahonia does very well in shade, has yellow flowers in spring and blue grape-like berries later so may be your best bet. it is native in parts of the u.s.....not sure if its native in your area.

With this year marking 100 years since the start of the First World War, it becomes more and more difficult to remember the world changing conflict. The last veteran of "The Great War," Florence Green, passed away in 2012, leaving few people to share the stories of that bloody time or remind us of the world as it was… but we still have the pictures. Photographer Peter Macdiarmid revisited the locations of World War I-era images and recaptured the places as they appear today. These old photographs overlaid on their modern day counterparts reveal how much those locations have changed, or how much they've stayed the same. [Read more…]
One Cob, Many Flavors: These Recipes Will Have You Rethinking Your Next BBQ
Did you know peak corn season is in the springtime? That's right, just as the days are getting warm and the BBQ is begging to be fired up, one of the most mouth watering crops springs forth ready to be munched… in so many tasty ways. That's because, although corn originated in the Americas, it's now grown on every continent except Antarctica – and each area has at least one regional recipe for your next cookout. [Read more…]
5 Great Reasons To Read Hunter S. Thompson
I have loved Hunter Thompson's writing ever since, in high school, the film of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas starring Johnny Depp turned me on to the book of the same name. You don't forget a sentence like, "We were somewhere around Barstow when the drugs began to take hold."
And you shouldn't dismiss him, as some critics have, as a sloppy, self-indulgent, drug-ingesting hack. He took a lot of drugs, drank too much, loved guns and women (and excess in general) – he was a bit of a maniac to be sure, an imperfect character if there ever was one… and it is unfortunate that these facts obscure his real talent. Here are some of the best reasons why you should read his books and take him seriously. [Read more…]
Oscar Nominees Posing On the Runway… with Younger Versions of Themselves
As the stars hit the red carpet for the 2014 Oscars, it's time to reflect on where they've been before… right there on the red carpet. There are a surprising number of nominees this year who have already walked the carpet, and a number who have won before too. This collection of doctored photographs plays on that theme, putting famous stars right next to their younger, but already famous, selves. [Read more…]

Redditor shystone recently when on an internet odyssey using classic paintings from the city's history and matching them up with modern day views from Google Street View. [Read more…]
How Creatives Work: Philip Seymour Hoffman
Philip Seymour Hoffman died earlier this month of a heroin overdose. Many critics have said that he was perhaps the greatest actor of his generation and one of the greatest who ever lived. What made Hoffman so beloved by so many was his mixture of pure skill, drive to work, and humility. The ambition of his acting and his ability to rise to any occasion allowed him to become famous, but also are evidence of his ability to submerge himself deep into a role. It was his honesty in his many performances that set them apart and made them memorable. [Read more…]
How Far We've Come: Pictures From the First Winter Olympics in 1924
As the thrill of the Winter Olympics sweeps the nations, it's interesting to reflect on where we've come from… and it's a surprisingly long way! The first Winter Olympics, held in 1924 in Chamonix France, featured just 250 athletes participating in 6 sports: skating, curling, 'nordic skiing', 'bobsleigh', ice hockey and a military patrol competition. While we've seen many new sports added to the games, what's really striking about these images is the change in fashion… just check out those suit jackets in the speed skating competition! It's a long way from the US's 'hobo chic' snowboard jackets and Mexico's mariachi ski suit! [Read more…]
There's Something Grimm About These Photos
Once upon a time, there lived a photographer named Kilian Schönberger – and while he is not a character from your favorite fairy tale, his very real images spin some otherworldly fantasies. Working in Cologne, Germany, the photographer's own backyard serves as the source for his "Brothers Grimm's Homeland" series and captures the woodlands and waterfalls that served as a backdrop for many infamous folktales.

TEL AVIV — After yet another exciting game, Maccabi Tel-Aviv and Panathinaikos are set to face off in a do-or-die showdown in Greece next Thursday. Last night, Panathinaikos edged out Maccabi 78-69 in a grind-it-out duel, in which Panathinaikos held a mere three-point lead with two minutes remaining. Taking place in Tel-Aviv's Nokia Arena, a relatively small gym that holds 11,000 rabid fans, the atmosphere had at least as much intensity as an NBA playoff game. Every possession was a battle,

In a rematch of last year's Euroleague Championship, Maccabi Tel-Aviv is set to take on the Greek team, Panathinaikos, in the first round of the Euroleague playoffs. With both teams possessing several NBA-caliber talents, and Maccabi rolling with two of the top Greek players in Theo Papaloukas and Sofoklis "Sofo" Schortsanitis, this promises to be among the more exciting playoff battles. While two of the premier coaches in Europe, Zeljko Obradovic and David Blatt, will face off, this matchup contains some of

Raiders' linebackers get better of Bears

Raiders head coach Hue Jackson has this thing about building a bully.
On Sunday afternoon, the Raiders' defense bullied the Chicago Bears in a 25-20 win, but they did it, in part, by opening up a can of intellectual whup-butt. Whatever happened to the days when the Raiders simply hit people harder? Now they're outsmarting people in the video room.
Take the Raiders' linebackers.
The Bears were confident they had found a soft spot in the Raiders' defense, and it was the linebackers.
Before the game, a Bears assistant coach mentioned to an acquaintance that the Bears thought the Raiders' linebackers could be worked, because (he said) they just don't run that well. It's not that they lack speed, but they simply don't move well in space. Supposedly.
The Bears are a playoff-caliber team, they were riding a five-game win streak, so they seem to know what they're doing.
But on Sunday, the Bears were unable to flummox or bamboozle the Raiders' linebackers, certainly not on a regular basis.
The Raiders' linebackers did a little studying of their own.
Just before halftime, the Raiders led 9-7 but were in trouble. After a Raiders' off-side penalty, the Bears had 2nd-and-1 at the Raiders' 7.
Bears quarterback Caleb Hanie, making his first NFL start, had just thrown a TD pass and seemed to be adjusting to his new role. He set up a misdirection screen pass, looking right, then throwing back to the left flat to Matt Forte.
Bad call.
The pass skidded through the hands of linebacker Aaron Curry but was plucked out of the air by linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, who returned it 73 yards before being horse-collared at the Bears' 12. That set up a field goal. Instead of trailing 14-9 at the half, the Raiders led 12-7.
"The interesting thing about that" intercepted screen pass, Curry said, "is that from watching film, I saw the play before. They ran the exact play, same formation, after a motion (penalty) against Tampa Bay in London. It was right before the half, they wanted to get a touchdown going into halftime, and they ran the same exact play.
"I'll never forget seeing it on film and saying, 'That's their go-to play. If they need these points, that's their play.' Then I saw the formation on the field and I was like, 'This is easy, I'm just going to wait for them to throw it to me.' "
On Wimbley's interception return, the Bears were right about the Raiders' linebackers' running skills. Wimbley, 6-foot-4 and 255, got hauled down (illegally) by tackle Lance Louis, 6-3 and 320.
"Man, I thought I was like Barry Sanders or something," Wimbley said.
Wimbley, like Curry, has been known to study video.
"I was watching some footage last night," Wimbley said. "I just went back through (some tape) before I went to sleep and I noticed that (Hanie) was getting the ball out of there pretty quick, and I think they went out there with that mentality today, to get the ball out of his hands pretty quick."
It was a chess game, which isn't what you normally anticipate when the Bears and Raiders get together. The Raiders got checkmate, or whatever you call the winning chess move.
"I think they were thinking the same thing we were thinking," Curry said. "They think, 'We've got a quarterback coming off the bench cold,' they knew we were thinking we were just going to stop the run and win the game. They said, 'We know they're thinking we're going to run the ball, so we'll throw it.' "
The Bears ran the ball 27 times, including five Hanie scrambles, and Hanie threw 36 passes. The Bears did out-rush the Raiders (who also had 27 rushes), 172 yards to 73.
Maybe Chicago was expecting the Raiders' linebackers to be more tentative. On Sunday, they attacked straight at the Bears.
"Our linebackers were playing downhill," free safety Michael Huff said, "and that makes my job a lot easier. I can play the post and not worry about the run so much."
Linebacking was not supposed to be an Oakland strength. The Raiders got Curry from Seattle Oct. 13 for two late-round draft picks, because he had lost his starting job. Wimbley, in his sixth season, was a No. 13 overall draftee by the Browns, but they sent him to the Raiders last year for a third-round pick.
Even so, the linebackers don't seem to have much of a collective shoulder-chip. Told that the Bears thought they could exploit the Raiders' linebackers, Wimbley and Curry shrugged (Rolando McLain declined comment).
"I doubt we earned any respect today," Curry said. "Who cares? We're 7-and-4, that's a good record for me. Whether they want to respect us or not, who cares?"

"C4C helped us navigate the start-up process, from licensing to garnering approval of outside work engagements. They helped expedite the process for us."Luis Ceze, Assistant Professor In Computer Science & Engineering & Co-Founder Of PetraVM
New Ventures Resources
C4C New Ventures coordinates resources to evolve ideas from initial concept all the way through to first-stage start-up financing. Not every innovation should lead to a start-up; sometimes the result of our process is the determination that the best path may be the pursuit of an opportunity to license to an existing company. The goal of New Ventures is to determine viability of a new company as early as possible so that resources can be focused.
Professional Advisors
Entrepreneurs-in-Residence (EIR)
The EIR program connects seasoned entrepreneurs and business executives with UW researchers whose work may have commercial relevance and to start-up teams with an identified business opportunity. These industry experts work closely with the team on the product development and market development efforts as they explore funding opportunities and staffing needs. Learn more.
Investor Pitch Coaching
For teams ready to seek investor funding, New Ventures brings in partners to review funding strategies, help build a compelling pitch deck, lead pitch practice sessions, and write an executive summary.
Student Partnerships
C4C leverages talented business and law students to add value to potential UW start-ups.
ITHS/WRF Fellows
The Fellows program is a paid summer internship for MBA students and students pursuing a certificate from the Foster School of Business Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship. These are ten-week long, 30-hour/week positions. Students must apply and interview for this highly competitive program.
Student Interns
C4C's year-round internship program is a joint project of C4C and the Foster School of Business Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship. MBA and other students are assigned to work with an EIR or a Technology Manager, or to work on a specific start-up project. Students conduct market research, help develop business plans, and explore funding potential. Each internship involves a commitment of 10 to 20 hours a week, for which students receive academic credit.
Entrepreneurial Law Clinic Students
C4C partners with the UW School of Law's Entrepreneurial Law Clinic to match a team of law and business students, pro bono attorneys, and business advisors with UW researchers. These professionals offer critical early stage legal and business counseling. Law Clinic Students can provide initial legal review of tax, IP, and corporate structure for start-up teams.
Funding Available From C4C
Commercialization Gap Fund
Our Commercialization Gap Fund (CGF) program accelerates projects that have a high chance of commercial success—either by being licensed to an existing company or as the focus for a start-up within a two- to three-year time frame. Learn more about CGF.
Additional commercialization funding from grants, awards, and competitions are available to UW researchers and students. Learn more.
Networking Events
Innovation Showcase
The Innovation Showcase was conceived by C4C and the Technology Alliance, which administers this quarterly event. The Showcase highlights the most promising discoveries and new technologies ready for commercialization in Washington. It's an opportunity for our emerging companies to present, share ideas, and network with a cross-section of potential advisors and seed funders. Learn more.

Does this work on 3d-plots?
Thank you again, Matt J. It is clear I was going the wrong way working with sparse matrices (this is the first time I need it to use them). Thank you for your help.
Thank you, Matt J, this class is very usefull.
I have the following question: why does the following code
n = 500;
A = ndSparse.build([2*n 2*n]);
A(1:2:2*n,1:2:2*n) = rand(n);
run in 0.04 seconds, while the following similar code
n = 500;
A = ndSparse.build([2*n 2*n 2]);
A(1:2:2*n,1:2:2*n,1) = rand(n);
runs in 43 seconds (thats 1000 times slower!).
Is there a way to speed up the process of assigning values to truely N-dimensional sparse arrays (N>2)? Thank you.

DICE+ wants to change board gaming forever
With the increasing popularity of mobile games, old-fashioned board games may seem like a thing of the past. Who wants to lug around a big box of parts, fake money, and cards from one friend's house to another? And inevitably, some of those pieces will go missing. What if there was a way to create a similar social experience to board gaming, but on a digital platform? The company Game Technologies is hoping that their new DICE+ will make that happen.
The idea behind DICE+ is simple: it uses a digital dice that interacts with a mobile device, such as a tablet or smartphone, using a wireless Bluetooth connection. This allows for the old-fashioned experience of people gathering around a game, but brings the concept into the digital age. The die itself includes an LED display, along with a built-in accelerometer, thermometer, and magnetometer. Basically, this means that it's a motion controller that can even tell when you're cheating. Best of all, DICE+ works with existing mobile devices: Android with at least OS 4.0, as well as anything over a 3rd generation iPad. The battery life is about 20 hours and you can use up to 7 dice at any given time.
You can get a DICE+ for about $40. There are also a variety of free board games available for download via the App Store and Google Play, including backgammon, a strategy game called Supremacy, and several child-friendly games. Games Technologies is also planning to release more popular board game franchises later this year.
Someday, maybe there will be versions of DICE+ with 20 sides, for us D&D geeks.
