A Message from Our Chief Investment Officer
We want to make clear that Alerus Financial, N.A. is in strong financial condition. However, the safety of your account is not tied to Alerus' financial viability. We are required to hold client assets as either a trustee or custodian and must keep these assets segregated from the general assets of the bank and holding company.
Has the market volatility caused Alerus to change its investment philosophy?
Alerus Financial's investment philosophy and process has not changed and it is important for you to know why. Over the short run, the market can shift its attention and tend to favor one investment management style or asset class over another. However, these shifts can only be seen in retrospect. Attempting to correctly predict and time style shifts is virtually impossible. Many investment managers have tried, failed miserably and gone out of business as a result due to disastrous performance. Maintaining a proven, consistent style has proved to be the most successful approach to investment management over the long run. Alerus Financial has maintained its philosophy and investment process for several decades.back to top
I'm very nervous about the market, should I get out of stocks for now?
It is only natural to be inclined to sell stocks now and move back into them when you feel more comfortable; and getting out of stocks and moving to cash should eliminate much of the volatility from your portfolio. However, the problem with that strategy is you probably won't feel comfortable about getting 'back in' until after stock prices have improved considerably thereby costing you more money. History has proven time and again that very few investors are nimble enough to 'get back in' at the right time. Predicting exactly when the stock market may spike or fall is virtually impossible.
So, if your intent is to sell now and get back into the market later, it may be better to hold tight and stay invested. We believe the market will eventually rebound. This may be a lengthy process, but if time is on your side, holding tight will likely be a more profitable strategy for you.back to top
Can you review my asset allocation and help me decide what to do?
We would be happy to visit with you about your allocation. Feel free to schedule a phone or in-person appointment. Our approach is to review your entire portfolio, not just one component of it. We design your asset allocation to fit your personal situation including your cash flow needs, age, risk tolerance, etc. This may also be an excellent time to make sure your investments are appropriately allocated.back to top
I want to be more conservative with my investments in the future. What's the best way to do that?
You have several options. You could make a sudden and severe change in your current allocation, although that might not be advisable when stock prices are so low. Or, you could leave your current portfolio unchanged while making more conservative investments systematically in the future. A third option would be to wait until stock prices have recovered, then make an allocation shift at that time. The third strategy may take a fair degree of patience and courage, since we cannot predict with certainty when prices will improve, but may prove to be more prudent. We do recommend selecting a strategy and sticking to it throughout the ups and downs in the markets.back to top
I'm retiring in the next few years. Will I still be able to?
That's a question we can help you answer through financial planning. Be prepared to discuss your entire portfolio, its size, its allocation, the level of income you'll require when retired, etc. As your financial advisor, we can help you plan retirement cash flows and review other important retirement items like insurance needs or estate planning. Having a clear picture of the upcoming years can give you a secure and happy retirement.back to top
I "lost" money! Should I be doing something?
Remember that when the market is at a high, you must actually sell your stocks in order to realize the gain. Similarly, when the market is down, you won't realize a loss unless you sell. That said, your concern is understandable because this downturn in the market has been especially severe. It is important to remember that in the past, even after severe downturns, the stock market eventually recovered.
Times like these require discipline and some degree of courage, but pulling out of the market now will only serve to lock in these current depressed values. If you have the time and patience, your stock investments will likely recover their value over time. back to top
Why didn't Alerus move out of stocks when they were going down?
Alerus cannot arbitrarily move in and out of stocks within a client's account. We are obligated to manage each account according to the target allocation established by the client in their Investment Policy Statement. Portfolio reviews are conducted at least annually. During those reviews, asset allocation targets are discussed and either reaffirmed or altered. The best thing to do is to stay in touch with your Alerus advisor to discuss whether or not your allocation is appropriate given your objectives and risk tolerance.back to top
I thought bonds were safe. Why are they decreasing in value?
In general, it's a true statement that bonds are safer than stocks. But bond prices can go up and down in value, too. Historically, bond prices are mainly affected by two things: 1) shifts in interest rates, and 2) credit quality. The good thing about a bond is that if the issuer is financially stable, the bond will continue to make its interest payments and return to stated value at maturity. Over the past year, however, even some high quality bond prices have been very volatile.back to top
Is now a good time to buy more?
Probably, but you should temper your expectations. While it can be argued that it is a good time to buy while market prices are so low, the potential still exists for further losses before the market turns higher.back to top
Is my account insured? I heard that IRA's are insured up to $250,000.
No, your trust IRA account is not insured, but specific securities in the account may be insured. Please visit with your Alerus advisor for further information.back to top
Will my investments recover when the market goes back up?
The investment portfolios managed by Alerus Financial are well diversified across many areas of the market. It is safe to say that when the market recovers, your portfolio will recover as well.back to top
How should I continue to invest my money?
Your investment allocation, strategy, and plan are unique to your personal financial situation. With a thorough understanding of your financial situation, lifestyle, and goals, your Alerus professional can advise you to create or review your customized strategy specifically to meet you and your families needs.back to top

I need help with math!
I posted this on the vegetable gardening forum, however I didn't know if it was the best place to post this topic. So I'm posting the thread here.
I do container gardening so when a planting guideline says 'for enough for 4 people you need to grow a 15 foot row' this makes no sense! This is because you don't use
row spacing for container gardening. Basically what I need to know is when something says with a planting guideline, 'plant a row this long' how many plants can be grown in that space; that is essentially how many plants are equal to the planting guideline given with the row spacing.
My main questions about this are in regards to root vegetables and beans. The planting guidelines given for how much to plant are normally 'you plant a row this long'.
I realize what is listed below is a general guideline, but for now this will suffice. I'm only growing for 2 people, and I'm guessing since I'm growing for double the amount of people, I will have some leftover for storage (freezing mostly).
Here is something I found with a planting guideline online that explains what I'm talking about....
Lettuce-a 10' row
Bush beans-a 15' row
Greens-a 10' row (I'm going to guess this is referring to just about any leafy green thing.....asian greens, spinach, chard, arugula, etc.)
Radishes-a 5' row (successive plantings)
Carrots, turnips, and beets-a 10' row
I realize that one thing I could do is convert the feet to inches, then using the plant spacing divide the plant spacing into the converted inch measurement, and the quotient would be how many plants to grow. However when I did this, it seemed like a very large number that seemed off.
An example of what I'm talking about is below....
beans; 15 feet x 12"=180 inches; plant spacing per bush bean plant.....3"; 180 divided by 3=60 plants.
Your math is correct. It looked a little high to me, as well, but since the numbers you are using are for 4 people (if I understand you correctly), it's really not that bad.
For the beans you used as an example, that would be 15 plants per person. Since this is based on row planting that would all be planted and harvested at once, that would probably be about right to stock up for each person. You would probably want to stagger your planting so you wouldn't be harvesting as much at any given time.
Where did you find the information on how much to grow for 4 people? I have been looking for similar information and haven't had much luck. Could you post the link for me? I would appreciate it!
You could calculate the surface area of your container and using Mel's website (plants per square foot)figure how many plants will fit in the container. I haven't yet been able to figure out how many squares of something I need for two people. You did the math correctly. However, this would give you beans all at one time. It doesn't take into consideration what is known as succession planting. For that you plant some of these plants every couple of weeks to get a continuous harvest. For example, 9 bean plants fit in one square foot. If you use a variety like Blue Lake bush beans,they continue to grow all season and are good for freezing,too. I planted about 8 square feet of beans and had enough to eat beans every day or so and some to freeze.

Dear readers,
A year of the keyboard's quiet clicks
scripting dull white pages into life
has taught me much of our acquaintance:
that you are the desk-bound force, drinking tea
or fair-trade coffee behind an invisible face
in Paonia, or Westchester, or Uruguay;
and that I am as the woman veiled by rain
who passed you at the bus stop or the city park,
her quick step seeming almost familiar.
And yet. I do not know you, readers, from the crowd,
but I recognize your unceasing scrolls
seeking to uncover the answers and questions,
question the answers, about our world:
this curious place we call home.
And that is why I hope my passing words,
sweat-molded musings of a changing West,
remain, for you, something almost familiar:
a recognition of kindred spirits,
willing to defend, driven to learn.

Video: Semi truck swipes squad on highway shoulder
Police released the footage hoping it would raise awareness about the Move Over law
By PoliceOne Staff
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — Police have released dash cam footage showing a semi truck brushing against a trooper's cruiser and another vehicle on the highway to raise awareness about the "Move Over" law.
Lt. Jeff Lorentz, who has been with the Wisconsin State Patrol for 30 years, told WEAU.com that the footage didn't shock him, because close calls like this weren't uncommon.
The officer in the video, who wasn't identified, is seen jumping back as the truck makes contact with one vehicle and then the other.
Wisconsin's Move Over law requires drivers to change lanes or slow down when emergency vehicles are on the side of the highway.
"We're much better at this, but we're not where we want to be," Lorentz said in regard to abiding by the law.
Lorentz has been hit while in his cruiser five times during his law enforcement career, according to the report.

The latest installment in Disney's swashbuckling juggernaut, "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" now looks like it will sail into cinemas sometime in 2016, according to THR.
Titled "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales," the fifth in the Pirates series was initially anticipated for a 2015 release date, but the studio now claims to be spending extra time with this particular installment in order to get it right.
This could be a wise move by the studio, given the relatively disappointing nature of the most recent release "On Stranger Tides" compared to the original trilogy that featured the handsome Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and delightfully feisty Elizabeth Swann (Kiera Knightley) alongside the devious Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and his mutinous former-first-mate Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush)
Depp has of course signed on to reprise his role, with rumors circulating that Bloom might be back to give audiences another chapter in Will Turner's tale. Jeff Nathanson (Rush Hour 3) has written the screenplay, which will be directed by Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg. There is no news at this stage as to when filming will commence.
Disney is hardly suffering for want of summer 2015 releases, with Pixar's "Inside Out" and "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" both set to hit cinemas and the possibility of "Ant-Man" moving up from a November to a July release date.

Plenty of travelers look for ways to escape the sounds of the city, but one suite off the coast of Africa gives a new meaning to "island getaway."
The Manta Resort, located on the Zanzibari island of Pemba, has opened a new hotel suite located in an usual place: 13 feet below the surface of the Indian Ocean. Well, the entire room isn't underwater. A private roof deck gives guests a sunbathing spot, and a second story includes a lounge and bathroom. When guests want to go to bed for the evening, they will actually sleep with the fishes (thankfully, not in the intimidating organized crime manner you may remember from The Godfather).
SEE ALSO: You Won't Believe This Hotel Guest's Request
The room does not float. Instead, it's tied to the sea floor with two cables, capturing a great view of the ocean life just outside the windows.
"By night, the underwater spotlights beneath each window around the room attract the shyer and more unusual, for instance, squid," the general manager of the property writes. "Octopus and even Spanish dancers have been seen attaching themselves to the glass panes."
Getting this close to nature comes with a fairly steep price tag. Single guests can stay for $900 per night, and couples pay a rate of $1,500 per night. Getting to the resort isn't easy, either. Guests must take charter flights from airports in East Africa to Pemba Airport. It sounds like the taxi ride may be a bit rough.
"The quality of the cars are not of western standards, so be prepared for a bumpy ride," a note on The Manta Resort website reads.
SEE ALSO: This is an Insanely Expensive Hotel Room
That ride looks like it could be very well worth it, though. Click here for an overhead view of the underwater room.

What's holding you back? What excuses are you making up that are stopping you from living your best life? I used them all, and look where that got me! Are you ready to stop living insane and get real with yourself?
Al Roker's aha! moment came a decade ago. Closing in on 350 pounds, he promised his dying father that he wasn't going to keep living as he was. That led to his decision for a stomach bypass—and his life-changing drop to 190. But fifty of those pounds… (più)

News of the world: Independent Foreign Fiction Prize
Boyd Tonkin surveys the globe-spanning long-list for the latest Independent Foreign Fiction Prize
Friday 19 January 2007
The long-list for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize has never looked richer, or broader. Last week I and my fellow-judges - the writers David Constantine, Jennie Erdal and Ali Smith, and Kate Griffin from Arts Council England - met to select the 20 titles detailed below from a total entry of 86 submitted books. Our pick from a year's harvest of newly-translated works of fiction stretches in language from Turkish to Gikuyu to Norwegian; in setting, from the mountain villages of Tibet to a mysterious Greek island to the crumbling mansions of Havana; and in authorship, from a young French sensation to a Dutch-exiled Iranian refugee to a Portuguese Nobel literature laureate. In early March, we convene again to climb an even steeper mountain, and choose a shortlist of six for the £10,000 prize, which is divided equally between author and translator. The award, once again made possible by the superb support of Arts Council England and Champagne Taittinger, will be announced at the start of May.
This score of tales adds up a magnificent double showcase. One side displays the protean art of fiction, as practised from Berlin (by Jenny Erpenbeck) to Buenos Aries (by Edgardo Cozarinsky). Power and its abuses come under cool, satirical scrutiny from Angola (José Eduardo Agualusa) to Albania (Ismail Kadare). Family stories bring joy and sorrow, comedy and tragedy, from Austria (Eva Menasse) to Iran (Kader Abdolah). Mysteries from the past demand solutions from the present in Cuba (Leonardo Padura) or Italy (Niccolò Ammaniti). Individuals face life-defining moments of crisis and discovery in Norway (Linn Ullmann) or Afghanistan (Atiq Rahimi). And this world in flux takes shape via fictional forms as vastly varied as the street-smart Parisian rap of Faïza Guène or the epic, and self-translated, African fable of Ngugi wa Thiong'o. With this list, an entire planet of fiction swings into view.
As for the other side of the showcase, it celebrates the precious art of the translators who convey these treasures. These are, without exception, powerful books carried into English on powerful shoulders. Uniquely among awards for international literature, the Independent prize gives equal honour both to the original author and his or her partner on the journey between languages. And translation in Britain needs every champion it can find.
The slow national calamity that is the collapse of language-learning in our schools unfolds under indifferent official eyes. Where, in the future, will we find successors to such virtuosi as Anthea Bell, David Bellos, Barbara Haveland and Margaret Jull Costa - all represented here? Yet UK (and US) literary culture can still enjoy the artistry of translators much better and bolder than its myopia deserves. Our long-list invites readers to taste their formidable skills, as well as those of the writers that they serve.
If this judging process uncovered an unusual wealth of talent in translation, one other event marked it out as a special year. This prize aims to reward fiction by writers alive at the time of the translation's publication. Without that provision, we might see the latest rendering of (say) War and Peace or Don Quixote triumph every time. Yet, on this occasion, the judges had to grapple with as compelling a case for a one-off change of rules as such a contest will ever meet. The hard case, as this great book's host of British fans will guess, involved Irène Némirovsky's Suite Française, beautifully translated by Sandra Smith and published to justified acclaim by Chatto & Windus last spring. Némirovsky died in Auschwitz after her deportation in 1942, but her stupendous novel of the fall of France and its aftermath lay undiscovered in a trunk for almost 60 years.
Suite Française, this masterwork reclaimed from the dead, came to haunt all our deliberations. We wish to honour it with a special commendation, but with far more warmth than such a chilly prize-day form of words suggests. But we decided in the end that the novel ought to stand, as its original language would put it, hors concours: above the battle, outside the competition and in a class of its own.
The Prix Renaudot in France tweaked its criteria so that Suite Française could win. We chose instead to remember and celebrate this extraordinary novel at every stage on the route towards this year's prize. So, if you haven't yet done so, read it: the Vintage paperback edition is imminent. And then treat yourself to some of these remarkable stories from a world just as full of mayhem and movement as when a Russian-born French novelist sat under a tree in Burgundy and captured forever the plight of the refugees who streamed out of embattled Paris in the lovely early summer of 1940.

The so-called Pakistani Taliban [Tehrik-e-Taliban or TTP] led by Hakimullah Mehsood faces an existential crisis with an eruption of splits in its ranks, encouraged no doubt from outside. Splits have appeared all across the tribal areas – Bajaur, Orakzai, Mohmand, Kurram, etc. The split of commander Fazal Saeed Haqqani in Kurram agency this week is the most serious. He has openly voiced opposition to TTP's attack on Pakistan as the reason for the split. He said he will continue to be part of the resistance to the US occupation in Afghanistan. He is linked to Sirajuddin Haqqani (Haqqani network). Possibly, Pakistani military used Maulana Sami-ul-Haq, who was Saeed Haqqani's mentor, to get through to him — or even Sirajuddin.
The strategy adopted by the Pakistani military is a wise one – to focus on the 'political track' aimed at incrementally weakening Hakimullah's TTP to the point of making it a residual force that can be mopped up at low cost in future security operations. This approach flies in the face of the 'hammer-and-anvil' strategy advocated by the US commander Davis Petraeus — NATO banging from the north and the Pak military from the south and thereby crushing the militants in between. The Pakistani military saw that the collateral damage would be so heavy that the tribal areas might as well be lost forever. This was sound judgment, although it displeased the US.
The Pakistani military has also struck peace deals with two TTP groups (Mullah Nazir in South Waziristan and Hafiz Gul Bahadar in North Waziristan). Thus, Hakimullah and his TTP men are increasingly getting confined to a few areas of South Waziristan and are steadily losing contact with the Afghan border region. The US and Afghan intelligence operatives across the border will be hard-pressed to liaise with them. (This may partly explain the obscure happenings and the increased tension on the remote Afghan-Pak border region which is closed to the outside world.) The advantage certainly goes to the Pakistani military. The decimation of the TTP is a pre-requisite for the Pakistani military to fully concentrate on the Afghan endgame.

The Most Essential Yin Yoga DVD!
Paul Grilley's teachings on these Yin Yoga DVDs will provide you with everything you need to add Yin Yoga to your life. Paul's masterfully articulated classes will guide you through each complete Yin practice session and the in-depth lecture on the theory of Yin Yoga brilliantly establishes Yin's benefits for a healthy and balanced life. It is our wish that you discover balance in your own life through these wonderful DVDs.
The 2 Volume Series Contains 5 1/2 hours of Programming:
- • 108 minutes of theory workshop
- • 2 guided Yin Practice Sessions 60 minutes each
- • 1 guided Yin & Yang Practice Sequence 60 minutes
- • 3 Specially Choreographed Yang Sesions 60 Minutes each
- • 8 Narrated Guided Yin Sessions of adjustable length
- • Customizable playback of the Yin and Yang practices to create new sequences
Balancing Yin and Yang
Most forms of Yoga practiced today are Yang—they emphasize muscular movement and contraction. By contrast Yin Yoga targets the connective tissue of the hips, pelvis and lower spine. Connective tissue responds best to gentle stress over a long period of time, so Yin postures are held for longer periods. This type of practice complements the more muscular styles of Yoga and is a great aid for learning to sit in meditation.
Many people find that a Yin Yoga practice has transformative effects on body and mind. The gentle but consistent stimulation to the connective tissues encourages long-term health and flexibility of the joints, recharges the energetic system of the body and naturally draws the mind inward into a relaxed, meditative state.

- Working off the adolescent tension in my 30s Review by Brandon William Nicholas
- An essential style of practice Review by Anthony Salvadore
"For years, I have known that I have been stuck in my hips and compressed in my lower spine. Though vinyasa yoga has been extremely helpful, Yin Yoga has complemented the Yang practice and delivered results in a relatively short period or time. I definitely feel as if it is helping to create more space in these crucial areas. I hope that more practitioners have the good fortune to be exposed to what I see as an essential style of practice.

Media Reviews
"Grilley is an intelligent and empathic teacher and a congenial raconteur, both educator and entertainer. His technique can potentially help increase flexibility and self-acceptance, not only in your asana practice but in your daily life. And this is a great resource for learning it."-- Yoga Journal
"This beautifully produced and packaged 2-DVD set contains 5-1/2 hours of exquisite material. In the 2 hours of lectures, Paul does an amazing job at explaining and illustrating the theory behind Yin Yoga, and why this approach of extended holding of poses is beneficial to the joints and the energy channels of the body. With three one-hour live yin yoga classes, three yang yoga sequences and eight yin yoga slideshow practices, this DVD contains an astounding amount of information and instruction. Paul provides an in depth commentary and comprehensive instruction in the yin yoga classes. A great alternate audio option is included in these 3 videos that removes the detailed commentary and adds soothing background music for a more introspective experience.
"Overall this is an exceptional DVD set, full of fascinating information and is highly recommended for yogis of all levels and experience."-- Yogabasics.com

About Paul Grilley
Paul Grilley's insightful yoga DVDs and online courses break yoga down to its fundamentals and stress the importance of looking at each unique body. Since no two human bodies are exactly alike, Paul offers that yoga cannot be taught in a uniform way; instead, it needs to be tailored to the individual and our unique bone structure. A Paul Grilley DVD will not only inform you about yoga, it might also change the way you practice or teach it.
Paul Grilley's Background
Paul bases his teachings on various philosophies, including Hatha, Ashtanga, and Taoist yoga, which stems from the martial arts master Paulie Zink. Paul Grilley especially promotes yin yoga because of its ability to calm and center us. In today's chaotic world, he feels that this is more beneficial than a purely muscle-building practice. At Pranamaya, a Paul Grilley DVD on specialties like Yin Yoga are always in high demand due to the popularity of these forms of yoga, as well as Paul's special insight.
Learn from the Classic Lesson Anatomy for Yoga
The Paul Grilley DVDAnatomy for Yoga is an especially useful tool for teachers looking to gain a deeper understanding of how specific postures change depending on a specific student's body composition. For example, a student whose arms are naturally a bit shorter may have a harder time reaching their hands to the floor in Dhandasana (staff pose). At the same time, a student with naturally longer arms may have to bend their arms to comfortably sit in this very same pose.
Yoga for Students of All Shapes and Sizes
Paul's approach to yoga is of paramount importance when teaching yoga to students of all shapes and sizes, as well as with varying levels of physical fitness. Purchase one of his DVDs, such as the Paul Grilley Yin Yoga DVD or Chakra Theory and Meditation DVD, to see how versatile your teaching style or personal yoga practice can be, and how much more welcoming this approach is to students of all types.
Quality Teaching at a Fair Price
Our media at Pranamaya is an excellent way to round out your yoga teaching style or personal yoga practice without breaking the bank. There are numerous yoga retreats, vacations, workshops, and teacher trainings that provide you with instruction from famous teachers such as those on the roster of master teachers at Pranamaya. The difference in buying one of our products is that these teachings come to you at a fraction of the price, without compromising on the quality of the instruction and your learning.
Why wait? Purchase a Paul Grilley DVD or another one of our outstanding Pranamaya products to deepen your yoga journey today.

Cycling Games now available in Spanish
Fun cycle training for Spanish-speaking children. The Danish Cyclists' Federations succesful concept "Cycling Games" is now also available in a Spanish booklet.
The Danish Consul in Macon in the state of Georgia, USA, is giving his city a helping hand towards creating a more liveable city by promoting the Danish bicycle culture.
After an internship with Gehl Architects, two students from the University of Washington in the U.S. have produced a handbook on strategies for making better urban spaces for citizens of all ages based on their experiences with the Gehl approach and the Danish bicycle culture.
Today, the Cycling Embassy of Denmark met with a delegation from the Heinrich Böll Foundation. The delegates are in Copenhagen this week to study the European Green Capital 2014.
True to tradition, the Cycling Embassy of Denmark was present at the Velo-city conference hosted by the city of Adelaide, Australia this May. The Danes came to share their experiences of bicycle do's and don'ts. Check out their presentations below.
Die Dänische Fahrradbotschaft, die erste Fahrradbotschaft der Welt, konnte am 12. Mai 2014 ihren fünften Geburtstag feiern. Der Tag wird durch einen großen Empfang für alle ihre Mitglieder und Partner am Donnerstag, dem 26. Juni, begangen. Der Vorsitzende der Fahrradbotschaft, Troels Andersen, kann auf fünf fantastische, aktivitätsreiche Jahre zurückblicken.
La Embajada del Ciclismo en Dinamarca, primera embajada del ciclismo del mundo, pudo celebrar su quinto cumpleaños el 12 de mayo recién pasado. El día jueves 26 de junio se destaca con una gran recepción para los miembros y socios colaboradores.
The Municipality of Middelfart can boast of having the most modern type of lighting: The lights turn themselves on when a cyclist or pedestrian comes by, and then turns itself down low again. Watch the video!
In celebration of this year's Europe Day, St. Petersburg organized a Danish-inspired bike parade and met with Minister of the Environment, Ida Auken. The Danish bicycle culture is still in style all over the world.
Even a leading cycling nation like Denmark needs new inspiration once in a while. So in September 2013, 23 representatives of the Cycling Embassy of Denmark journeyed to the Netherlands.
The Danish city Frederikshavn has high ambitions: They want to become the healthiest and most exercising municipality of Northern Jutland. As part of this strategy, the brand new school, "Nordstjerneskolen," wants to become Denmark's most bicycle-friendly school. CykelScore is part of their strategy.
The book "Aspects of active travel – How to encourage people to walk or cycle in urban areas" is now available. Marianne Weinreich of VEKSØ, member and Vice Chair of the Cycling Embassy of Denmark, has contributed to the book with an article about Danish best practice.
The wait will soon be over: the Municipalities of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg are getting a new bike share system. The new bikes were presented by Minister of Transport, Pia Olsen Dyhr, Mayor of Copenhagen's Technical and Environmental Administration, Ayfer Baykal, and Mayor of Frederiskberg, Jørgen Glenthøj.
"Cities around the world are looking to cycling as a way to cut congestion, reduce pollution and encourage exercise among their citizens, but how do you turn a network of crowded streets into a streamlined, safe and welcoming environment for cyclists?"
In mid-July, a group of 18 Chicagoans including Deputy Mayor, Steve Koch, went on a study trip to Copenhagen to seek the council of Danish experts.

Helenius ready for Levin
Photos: Pasi Taavitsainen
Robert Helenius (13-0, 8 KOs) gave the Finnish media a first-hand look at his punching power when he held an open work-out session in Helsinki on Monday afternoon. The "Nordic Nightmare" will take on Attila Levin (34-3, 27 KOs) on Saturday night at Hartwall Areena. After skipping the official press conference last month, Levin once again did not show up today. This time, however, he had a very good excuse – he became father of a baby girl on Sunday night. "I am sorry that I cannot attend today´s press training," he said in a statement. "I was eager to meet Robert Helenius. For obvious reasons, he has to wait a few more days. I will travel to Finland later this week to complete what will be the best week of my life. I will knock Robert Helenius out and win the EU Heavyweight Title for my baby girl." (more…)

Whether it was because of the full moon or the use of his entrance music from his Pride days, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson returned to his old howling form and earned a split decision victory over fellow former light heavyweight champion Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida.
As expected, Machida stayed on the outside throughout the fight, being selective with his strikes. Jackson returned fire with the occasional flurry and his harder shots in rounds 1 and 2 proved to be the difference in a close fight. Machida clearly won round 3, but it turned out to be too little too late and Jackson secured a victory winning 28-29, 29-28, and 29-28 . . . Click here for more
Zbik ready for Martinez
In October, the WBC appointed interim middleweight champion Sebsatian Zbik the official mandatory challenger and ruled that Zbik must get his long waited shot at the full title by March 2011. With Sergio Martinez' big win over Paul Williams, Zbik now knows who he will have to face. "The end rather surprised me," said Zbik. "I was leaning toward Williams. Martinez comes into the ring in incredible condition. He has won every 2nd fight of his career early. In our fight I will have to go through the fire."
Froch-Abraham Fight Week
By David L. Hudson Jr.
Some fights you just know are going to be good. The matchup is too compelling and the styles too compatible or contrasting. When you match two fighters who love to fight, possess strong punching power and a willingness to engage, then the possibilities are endless. The recipe for remembrance is ripe.
The November 27th showdown on SHOWTIME between former world champions Carl Froch and Arthur Abraham has the ingredients necessary for a classic. Kallie Sauerland, Abraham's promoter, says that the two fighters "are the biggest punchers and warriors in the tournament … and two of the biggest warriors in boxing today." Froch's promoter, Mick Hennessey, said that the fight held in Helsinki, Finland, "could be a fight of the decade candidate." While promotional hyperbole abounds in the Sweet Science, that statement is not outlandish. (more…)

Jackson edges Machida
Octagonside by David Nelmark
In a competitive main event between two former light heavyweight champions, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson defeated Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida by split decision at UFC 123. Round one of the contest saw the fighters spend the majority of the period jockeying for position in the clinch. The second period saw Jackson score a takedown and Machida do some damage with hard kicks to the legs of his opponent. The final stanza saw Machida successfully take Jackson to the mat and control him for most of the round. Jackson was able to recover in the waning seconds of the bout and pressed forward as the bell sounded. All three scorecards read the same, 29-28, twice in favor of Jackson.

An explosive left hand to the jaw dropped Williams face first for the count 1:10 into round two. After the two picked up where they left off in their controversial 2009 classic in round one, Martinez' sudden one-punch finisher put a shocking and definitive end to the rivalry. Maybe.

Unbeaten junior welterweight Paul Spadafora (45-0-1, 19 KOs) stopped Alain Hernandez (18-9-2, 10 KOs) with powerful hooks and combinations over five exciting rounds. Unfortunately the punishment to the body and head of Hernandez was too much for the Tijuana, MX fighter as he was unable to come off his stool in the corner to battle in round six. The seven bout fight card at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT was promoted by Michael Acri Boxing.
NABO and NABF featherweight champion Matt "Sharpshooter" Remillard (23-0, 13 KOs) won a hard fought eight round unanimous decision over a game challenge from Oscar Cuero (13-4, 10 KOs). Scores of the bout all in favor of Remillard read 80-72 twice and 79-73. Remillard picked his spots and kept on the move as Cuero charged at him and kept the fight in close throughout. Cuero kept firing punches at Remillard, however he also kept leading with his head, which frustrated Remillard during the bout. Remillard adjusted his attack and in the end was able to outbox Cuero.
Undefeated junior welterweight prospect Danny O'Connor (14-0, 3 KO's) won a very workmanlike eight round unanimous decision over Humberto Tapia (15-16-1, 8 KOs).

Stieglitz retains WBO title
By Karl Freitag
WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (39-2, 23 KOs) scored a clear twelve round unanimous decision over Enrique Ornelas (30-7, 20 KOs) on Saturday night at the Freiberger Arena in Dresden, Germany. Stieglitz brought the fight to Ornelas early, but Ornelas got untracked as the bout progressed. In round seven, Ornelas had his best round as he punished the champion, who was starting to get busted up. However, Stieglitz adjusted in round eight and was completely back in control by round nine. The fighters went toe-to-toe in an exciting twelfth round. Scores were 117-111 on all cards.
The win was a measure of revenge for Stieglitz, who suffered one of his two losses to Ornelas' brother Librado Andrade. It was also Stieglitz' first fight under trainer Dirk Dzemski, after longtime trainer Torsten Schmitz signed with the rival Sauerland stall.
WBO/WIBF/WBF world champion Ramona Kühne (17-1, 5 KOs) impressively defended her female super featherweight belts by lopsided ten round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Irma Balijagic (12-1, 5 KOs) . Scores were 100-90, 100-90, 97-94.

As you can see in the frame (and if you follow Gally's movement towards the boards, being driven in off balance), it is IMO not a check you should put your full force into (or at least the force that was evident). It also depends on whether you are trying to separate the player from the puck, which he wasn't. I know these types of checks happen often and are split second, but I've watched that a ton of times and I really do think that was a cheap hit.
I also don't think that an enforcer would have prevented it since it's in a player's instinct to make that hit. In Schenn's case, one that he should have let up on. Gally was sooooo vulnerable. He could have pinned him or taken into consideration that Gally had no chance to brace for the hit.
Can't believe this is happening to Gally, but I guess with a history and the way he plays, it's somewhat unavoidable. Sad.
Edit: Freeze at 0:19 where Gally is flailing just before the hit...
Whether dirty or not...man this sucks.
