NORDEN, Calif. - Sugar Bowl Ski Resort has inked a deal making it the operator of the Royal Gorge Cross Country Resort, America's largest cross-country operation.
In early August, a consortium of conservation nonprofits -including the Trust for Public Land, the Truckee Donner Land Trust and the Northern Sierra Partnership - purchased the 3,000-acre property nestled atop Donner Summit, after the previous owner, Kirk Syme, defaulted on his $16.7 million loan in June 2011.
On Monday, Oct. 1, the conservation groups placed a $500,000 deposit on the property and will need to raise a total of $11.25 million by Dec. 20, 2012, when the purchase is scheduled to be finalized.
In the meantime, Sugar Bowl will take out a mini-lease with the bank that technically still holds the property - San Diego-based Armed Forces Bank - as to begin operating the resort for the upcoming season, said John Monson, spokesman for Sugar Bowl.
If and when the land consortium assumes ownership on Dec. 21, the resort will negotiate a lease with the conservation groups with an eye toward eventually purchasing the cross-country resort.
"Royal Gorge has incredible potential, and we're excited about the opportunity to return such an iconic resort to its once and former glory," said Sugar Bowl CEO Rob Kautz. "It's a perfect complement to the authentic alpine adventure brand that we've built here at Sugar Bowl, and we're committed to investing in Royal Gorge as a world-class destination for years to come."
Sugar Bowl and Royal Gorge are already connected by an "interconnect trail" that allows skiers to ski back and forth between the Donner Summit resorts, and plans are in the works to further enhance the connection with two additional beginner-friendly routes, according to news release issued by Sugar Bowl.
Sugar Bowl is now offering a season pass that allows holders to downhill ski at Sugar Bowl and cross-country ski at Royal Gorge for one affordable rate. Sugar Bowl passholders can add on an unrestricted Royal Gorge pass for $149 (adult price), and can purchase an unrestricted, standalone Royal Gorge pass for $299, the release states.
Despite many ski corporations owning both downhill and cross-country ski operations, Sugar Bowl is unique in offering a season pass that allows access to both platforms, Monson said.
The increasing popularity of alpine-touring or backcountry skiing, where skiers forgo lifts and opt to ski uphill before turning around to ski back down, means that more and more outdoor athletes are looking to train at cross-country ski resorts, Monson said.
The Truckee-based resort is currently undertaking expansion on the Sugar Bowl Academy and believes the addition of Royal Gorge will help attract new cross-country athletes to the institution, Monson said.
"I am confident (the demand will be there)," Monson said.
Sugar Bowl plans to invest $500,000 into Royal Gorge this season, including upgrades and renovations to Summit Station, the purchase of two new grooming machines, enhanced wayfinding signage, a new website with comprehensive daily grooming report and more, Monson said.
"Royal Gorge is back and it's an iconic brand," Monson said.
Perry Norris, executive director of the Truckee Donner Land Trust, declined to provide specific numbers regarding the progress toward the established $13.5 million fundraising goal, but said the support the organization has received bolsters his belief the goal will be accomplished.
"The support has been overwhelming," Norris said. "Not a doubt in my mind we will prevail."
The $2.25 million gap between the purchase price and the fundraising goal will be used for management of the property, which is in need of fuels management and the implementation and maintenance of recreational trails, Norris said.

"It was great to find a card that fit my son's understated yet elegant nature. Uploading from his online senior pictures was easy, adding school colors and choosing our own text made this card the perfect announcement. I love the sturdy stock, the quality of color, and the color on the back - a perfect finish. Friends and family have commented on the quality and aesthetic appeal of the card. And most of all - my son was thrilled. The added touch of having the submitted product reviewed by a designer before printing was wonderful and increased my confidence that the product would be as beautiful as it was."
"The invitations were absolutely beautiful. We received so many compliments. They were shipped extremely fast and the RSVP website has been a tremendous help. Thank You!!! I will definitely be using this site again for any future events."
"I never thought I'd be sending out so many thank you notes after having a baby. These are great, simple notes that include the baby's picture and signature on the bottom. I get tons of compliments on them. The paper quality is great!"
"I love elephants so this baby shower invitation was a perfect find! The pink background and white polka dots are very feminine."
"My school's graduation invitations were so expensive and all of my friends bought them. They were plain and simple with only words, but I was able to buy my invitations from this site with my own picture and the cute fonts that they have available for way less than the boring invitations my school was selling."

HAGERSTOWN — Stephen Strasburg has known all along his return from Tommy John surgery wouldn't be without any bumps in the road, despite what all evidence to this point suggested.
So when it actually happened Wednesday night while wearing a Hagerstown Suns uniform, Strasburg wasn't so much upset as he was relieved to get this out of the way now.
Relieved? After getting roughed up for five runs in only 1 2/3 innings by the low-Class A Lexington Legends?
Well, yes.
"Sometimes it's good to have games like this," Strasburg said. "Because you need to get knocked around a little bit to see what you're doing wrong. I think I learned a lot from this outing."
Then he smiled. Stephen Strasburg. After probably the worst outing of his professional career.
Clearly, these rehab starts are about more than his final pitching line, though that was by no means pretty: 1 2/3 innings, four hits, five runs, two walks, three strikeouts.
The Nationals had penciled Strasburg in for three innings and 50 pitches. But by the time he recorded his fifth out of the night, his pitch count already stood at 49. So Hagerstown manager Brian Daubach

But pleasures are like poppies spread, You sieze the flower, its bloom is shed; Or like the snow falls in the river, A moment white–then melts for ever; Or like the borealis race, That flit ere you can point their place; Or like the rainbow's lovely form Evanishing amid the storm.
- NatsFanJim - Aug 18, 2011 at 1:00 AM
What Wally said If he's fine — the world is fine.This is such a funny game. A huge, big league pitcher like Strasberg — on any given day — can be blasted by bush leaguers. Pitching is absolutely the hardest thing to master in all of sports.
- JaneB - Aug 18, 2011 at 2:50 AM
Not only do I love the Nats, I love Nats FANS.
- Ex-Jock Cliche-Spouting Color Guy - Aug 18, 2011 at 2:58 AM
Clearly the league has Strasburg figured out. The question now is whether he can make the adjustment.
- Drew8 - Aug 18, 2011 at 4:09 AM
The big fella will be fine.As for Ian Desmond…..Tonight Desmond officially dropped to 73rd and last in the NL with an OPS of .598.In his honor the stat has been renamed "OOPS."

The Strasburg said…you need to get knocked around a little bit to see what you're doing wrong.I had actually forgotten how much I love this cat.(And Drew, please stop posting so frequently. At this rate, I'll never catch up to your terrible-joke count.)

I'm glad I came back to read the updated post. Nice job Mark.And I'm thrilled this guy plays for US.

I sat behind home plate at the Suns game last night. The umpire was squeezing the pitchers something terrible. But Stras still got smacked around out there. Not pretty at all.
- natsfan1a - Aug 18, 2011 at 10:37 AM
I'm not a doctor or a pitching coach, but it sounds like such glitches are not necessarily cause for alarm on the road to TJ recovery. I do like the dude's attitude and heady approach. Plus, now the Lexington Legends have a good story for their grandkids. Given his short stint on the bump, I also idly wonder whether all of the fans were in their seats by the time he was out of the game. Hey-oh!
- Natslifer - Aug 18, 2011 at 11:10 AM
Mark – I don't mean to be paranoid here but did anyone even ask him if his arm felt ok or is it just assumed? The other thought I had is that in Davey's presser two nights ago he talked about how he wanted SS to make fewer pitches, lower his velocity a bit, and pitch to contact more – maybe this was SS "practicing" the new approach?

Future Legends player storytelling scenario:Larry Legend: In the Major League debut of the almighty Stephen Strasburg, he struck out 14 in 7 innings, but the first time he faced me I lit him up like a Christmas tree.Larry's grandkid: Yeah, grandad, but he faced you in low A ball on his third rehab start after TJ surgery. Plus, I heard that the ump was squeezing him.Larry Legend: Who's telling this story, you or me? Now be quiet and eat your ice cream. Ah, those were the days, sonny…

He pitched to plenty of contact last night.

Funny stuff Larry Legend…er, Natsfan!
- STRASMAS_WHO_CARES! - Aug 18, 2011 at 12:14 PM
WOW! Even low A hitters have figured out you can sit on DEAD RED from St. Stephen and hit him around….Kyle Farnsworth 2.0!!!?? Maybe Davey is right, if St. Stephen actually had a breaking pitch that was not faster than most fastballs he could get hitters out, he needs to talk to LIVO! Cueto owned the Nats last night because he was throwing his fastball around 95 and his breaking ball in the low to mid 80s such a differential in speeds messes with a hitters mind, whereas precious SLOTHBURG hovers around 96 with his fastball and 91 on his breaking pitches so it easy to time him.
- Anonymous - Aug 18, 2011 at 12:36 PM
I'm alone in assessing Stasburg in this, but I'm glad this happened. It's a good learning tool and doesn't mean anything to anyone that he didn't pitch a perfect game except Nats fanatics. I would have no problem if he had thrown 49 breaking pitches or 49 fastballs. This is just practice. "We sittin' in here, I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we in here talkin' about practice…We talkin 'bout practice, man." AI
- Anonymous - Aug 18, 2011 at 12:59 PM
ok guys, this guys throws around 100mph with a wicked curve. Also, he throws all strikes. Go up there and get your hacks. Get in the box and look for that first fastball and rip"I know it was you Fredo! You broke my heart!"
- Harper_ROY_2012 - Aug 18, 2011 at 1:18 PM
How did I miss this, Davey gave Riz and the Front Office the BIG F U the other day!"I'll be happy when we get to September," he said this week. "I've never liked the way this roster was constructed."I hope he stays on next year to further clean house.
- Big Cat - Aug 18, 2011 at 1:25 PM
I also saw Davey's quote in Boz this morning. Said he needs two long relievers and more bats off bench. He ain't takin any blame is he?
- Analytical Nat - Aug 18, 2011 at 1:33 PM
As composed the Nationals have exceeded expectations as far as I am concerned. They have one dominant like pitcher who gets little run support. Two relievers you can count on, and two ML hitters, one of which has missed 50 games. Whoever has managed has really done extremly well with very little.
- Analytical Nat - Aug 18, 2011 at 1:50 PM
comprised > composed
- Harper_ROY_2012 - Aug 18, 2011 at 3:08 PM
@ Analytical Nat – You are correct we are a sad lot when 6 of our 8 batters we put out nightly can hit the ball less than 25% percent of the time. We are so close but yet so far…from .500
- Analytical Nat - Aug 18, 2011 at 3:53 PM
Harper_ROY_2012 said…I like to think of the glass as half full. Just don't know if some of the water will flow towards the top or the bottom next season. Can see what I see right now, not the future. I would like to believe the youngsters, Espinosa, Ramos, Desmond, and one veteran, Werth sees better days next season.

The section on gender issues presents short examples of relevant gender issues and aims to help statisticians recognize the types of policy-relevant questions or concerns related to gender that can be raised within a particular topic of interest or field of statistics. This is important because, as explained, gender statistics have to reflect problems, issues and questions related to women and men in society. The examples given do not necessarily reflect the situation in all countries and they are not limited to those for which statistics are widely available.
The section on data needed shows what data are required to address the gender issues highlighted for each sub-topic and at what level of disaggregation. The disaggregation needed usually include, besides sex and age, other variables identifying (i) population subgroups where gender inequality is likely to be more pronounced, or (ii) some of the explanatory factors of gender inequality. Examples of indicators derived from the gender statistics presented are shown for each sub-topic.
The section on sources of data presents sources that can provide the data needed. In many cases, data can be derived from more than one source of data, and all those sources are listed. The section specifies when the data collection vehicle has to be focused on the particular topic or sub-topic discussed and when a module or just a few questions added to another data collection vehicle is sufficient to obtain the data. Advantages and disadvantages of various sources of data are presented only to the extent that they relate to gender issues or gender specific measurement issues.
The last section, on gender-specific conceptual and measurement issues, refers to aspects that may induce sex-biased misreporting or underreporting in data collection and may affect the adequacy of gender statistics. More information on how to avoid gender bias in data collection is presented in Chapter 3 on integrating a gender perspective in data collection.
As a framework for use of gender statistics in analytical statistical publications or reports This chapter provides useful information for statisticians preparing analytical publications or reports. Such publications or reports can be either gender-oriented, covering various topics, or topic-oriented regular publications that integrate a gender perspective. The section on "gender issues" can be used as directions of analysis of gender statistics related to specific topics and sub-topics. The sections on "data needed" and "sources of data" guide the statistician analyst on what statistics are needed to address various gender issues and where those data can be found. Finally, the information presented in the section on "conceptual and measurement issues" help statisticians to understand gender-specific limitations of the statistics used in publications or reports and correctly interpret the data.
As a framework for assessing availability and quality of gender statistics The section on "data needed" provides a list of statistics and their required level of disaggregation that can be used by national statisticians as a standard of comparison to assess the availability of gender statistics produced in their own country. The information presented in the section on "conceptual and measurement issues" can be used to assess whether data quality is limited by use of concepts, definitions, classifications or measurement that do not take into account gender specific roles and gender relations in society or sex-biases in data collection.
As an overall framework for identifying gaps in gender statistics and developing a national coherent and comprehensive plan for gender statistics This chapter can be used by statisticians as a framework for identifying gender issues and statistics needed in their particular countries, as well as to assess existing sources in terms of topics covered and the availability and quality of gender statistics. This information is crucial in identifying gaps in gender statistics and developing a national coherent and comprehensive plan for gender statistics (see Box 2.1).

Unfortunately, Heartbleed has become a familiar term to many people across the country. It is a serious vulnerability, a weakness in the widely-used OpenSSL encryption software that protects the electronic traffic on a large number of websites and in scores of devices. Although new computer "bugs" and malware crop up almost daily, this vulnerability is unusual in how widespread it is, it's ease of use, the potentially damaging information it allows malicious actors to obtain, and the length of time before it was discovered. As the administration has said, the Federal government was not aware of the vulnerability until it was made public in press reports.
It is important to note that it takes time to address this issue properly. As with the private sector, government agencies must analyze their systems to identify where they have the Heartbleed vulnerability, determine how to implement the appropriate response, and then ensure that they can implement the response without disrupting critical operations. Finally, the scope and scale of this vulnerability may continue to evolve as researchers and companies discover new places or devices that may be susceptible.
This analysis has informed how the Federal government has responded to this vulnerability since its public disclosure, working at an aggressive yet appropriate pace in our response and acting out of an abundance of caution. Working with other agencies, we have:
- Enabled our network defenses across the Executive branch to detect someone trying to use the exploit and in many cases to block those attempts
- Begun scanning government networks for this vulnerability to ensure that we know where it exists
- Issued technical alerts and mitigation steps through the our National Communications and Cybersecurity Integration Center
- Engaged with our industry partners to discuss the threat posed by the vulnerability
As we conduct the scans of government systems and agencies conduct their own reviews, many government websites turn out to have never been vulnerable to Heartbleed because they did not use OpenSSL; in those cases, no further action is needed at this time. However, in those cases where agencies determine that a website or system could have been vulnerable to Heartbleed, they are taking the same steps as the private sector:
- Updating to secure versions of OpenSSL
- Re-issuing certificates for the website
- Requiring or asking users to reset their passwords, if the website permits users to login, and alerting users on a website's homepage to this fact.
- Reminding users not to use a new password on any site that has not clearly been patched.
We will continue to focus on this issue until government agencies have mitigated the vulnerability in their systems. And we will continue to adapt our response if we learn about additional issues created by the vulnerability. The government remains committed to protecting any personally identifiable information it holds and to upholding high standards of cybersecurity.

To date, tens of millions of passengers have enjoyed shorter screening times as a result of TSA Pre✓™.
Travelers interested in applying for TSA Pre✓™ should go here to begin the pre-enrollment process. All TSA Pre✓™ program applicants must then visit an application center— like the new center at Washington Dulles International Airport— in person to verify their identity and citizenship/immigration status as well as to provide biographical information, (e.g. name, date of birth, address, etc.) and fingerprints. You can find a full listing of the more than 200TSA Pre✓™ applications centers here. TSA Pre✓™ is just one way we are moving away from the one-size fits all security. But don't just take our word for it.

Information sharing is a key part of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) important mission to create shared situational awareness of potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities. DHS, through our National Cybersecurity & Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), actively collaborates with public and private sector partners every day to make sure they have the information and tools they need to protect the systems we all rely on.
When a cybersecurity industry report was published three days ago about a vulnerability known as "Heartbleed" – affecting websites, email, and instant messaging – that can potentially impact internet logins and personal information online by undermining the encryption process, the Department's U.S.-Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) immediately issued an alert to share actionable information with the public and suggested mitigation steps. Subsequently, our Industrial Control System-Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) published information and reached out to vendors and asset owners to determine the potential vulnerabilities to computer systems that control essential systems – like critical infrastructure, user-facing, and financial systems. The National Coordinating Center for Communications (NCC) also provided situational awareness to communications sector partners for their review and action. Importantly, the Federal government's core citizen-facing websites are not exposed to risks from this cybersecurity threat. We are continuing to coordinate across agencies to ensure that all Federal government websites are protected from this threat.
While there have not been any reported attacks or malicious incidents involving this particular vulnerability confirmed at this time, it is still possible that malicious actors in cyberspace could exploit un-patched systems. That is why everyone has a role to play to ensuring our nation's cybersecurity. We have been and continue to work closely with federal, state, local and private sector partners to determine any potential impacts and help implement mitigation strategies as necessary.
Today we're also sharing some tips on steps you can take to protect your own personal cybersecurity and information online:
- Many commonly used websites are taking steps to ensure they are not affected by this vulnerability and letting the public know. Once you know the website is secure, change your passwords.
- Closely monitor your email accounts, bank accounts, social media accounts, and other online assets for irregular or suspicious activity, such as abnormal purchases or messages
- After a website you are visiting has addressed the vulnerability, ensure that if it requires personal information such as login credentials or credit card information, it is secure with the HTTPS identifier in the address bar. Look out for the "s", as it means secure.
Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility and when we take steps to ensure our own cyber safety, we are also helping to create a safer Internet for others.

Posted by Maria Odom, Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman and Chair of the DHS Blue Campaign
Today, Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) Jeh Johnson joined key federal partners at the White House for a meeting of the Presidential Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons where he highlighted the work of the DHS Blue Campaign, announced new interagency partnerships and highlighted the Department's ongoing efforts to combat this heinous crime.
During the meeting, Secretary Johnson discussed the Department's interagency engagement through the efforts of the Blue Campaign, and announced a new partnership with the Department of Education (ED)—working together to develop trafficking indicator training and other resources for school administrators, teachers, and staff. DHS has also been working closely with the General Services Administration to display human trafficking awareness materials in government-owned buildings across the United States.
Over the past year, DHS has focused an unprecedented level of resources and engagement to combating human trafficking through a victim-centered approach . Identifying and rescuing victims, however, is only the first step to end human trafficking.
In 2013, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) opened nearly 1,025 cases related to human trafficking, many with the help of the public, resulting in 816 convictions and the identification of more than 330 trafficking victims. Through the ICE Victim Assistance Program, specialists ensure that human trafficking victims are not only rescued, but provided with referrals for medical, mental health and legal assistance, as well as referrals for long term immigration relief, case management and other services.
DHS aims to provide support and assistance for immigrant victims of human trafficking. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services provides immigration relief in the form of T visas and U visas, allowing victims to remain in the United States and assist in the investigation or prosecution of the crime. These visas also provide a pathway to lawful permanent residence and permit certain family members to join them in the United States.
DHS and the Blue Campaign will continue our efforts to increase investigations and prosecutions of human traffickers, train more frontline law enforcement partners to recognize the indicators of human trafficking, and further improve victim services.
To learn more about DHS' efforts to combat human trafficking and what you can do, visit www.dhs.gov/bluecampaign.

Secretary Johnson also met with many of the first responders working at the site of the devastating mudslide and flooding, and highlighted their heroic efforts: "The mudslide is an enormous tragedy, but the efforts by the first responders is an inspirational American story."
Secretary Johnson thanks Rhonda Cook, a volunteer responder. Rhonda was among the first to arrive at the site of the mudslide, and was instrumental and bringing in search and rescue equipment. Snohomish County Executive Lovick is pictured at left. Photo courtesy of Governor Inslee's office.
On March 24, President Obama approved an Emergency Declaration providing resources to support the state and local response following the mudslide. A FEMA Incident Management Assessment Team as well as an Urban Search and Rescue Incident Support Team were deployed immediately to support the search and rescue efforts and are still part of the response today. On Wednesday, April 2, at the request of the Governor, the President approved a Major Disaster Declaration for the State of Washington to supplement state, tribal, and local recovery efforts in the area, and providing federal funding to support affected individuals in Snohomish County, including the Sauk-Suiattle, Stillaguamish, and Tulalip Tribes. Assistance to eligible individuals can include including grants for temporary housing and home repairs, loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs to help place individuals and business owners on a path to recovery.

Not only is April tax season, but it's also prime time for cyber criminals to try to trick unsuspecting people into sharing personal or financial information. So in addition to filing your taxes, be sure to properly safeguard your data.
If you are among the majority of Americans who file their taxes electronically, the following tips can help you and your information stay safe:
- Don't give out your personal information, unless it is to a trusted entity. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages, or social media to request personal or financial information. If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, do not click on any links or reply. Instead, forward it to email@example.com and delete it from your inbox.
- Look out for phony messages or websites claiming to be from the IRS. Exercise caution when opening suspicious email attachments and do not click on web links in unsolicited email messages. Scammers who try to access your personal or financial information may use the IRS name or logo in email messages and on fake websites to lure potential victims. Ensure that you have typed www.IRS.gov into your web browser to be certain you are visiting the authentic IRS website.
- Beware of promises of "free money" from inflated refunds. Scammers frequently pose as tax preparers during tax season. If you are contacted by someone who promises a large tax refund or a refund you are not expecting or entitled to, do not give out any personal or financial information. If the offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.
- Back up your data and store your electronic tax files securely. Last year, most Americans opted to file their taxes online. When preparing your tax return for electronic filing, make sure to use a strong password to protect the file. If you are working with an accountant, ask them what security measures they have in place to protect your personal information.
- Only share personal information over a secured network. When at home, if you are using Wi-Fi, make sure you only join a password protected network – don't connect if the network is publically available. Using free public Wi-Fi makes it easy for cyber criminals to intercept and steal your information. Never prepare your tax return or conduct other online activities such as banking and shopping when connected to an unsecured wireless network.
These tips can help all Americans stay safe online during tax season and all year round. Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility and when we take steps to ensure our own cyber safety, we are also helping to create a safer Internet for others.

Here's a better look of the collision. Kozuka admitted this was his fault becaus Dai was doing his run through and had priority.
Here's a better look of the collision. Kozuka admitted this was his fault becaus Dai was doing his run through and had priority.
The video I linked shows Daisuke clearly in pain. Someone reported that he continued his footwork but didn't land any jump after the collision. I wonder if this would affect his plan to do a 4F in his LP. If he was just shocked and not physically hurt, he may get over it by competition time. Koz must be feeling terrible too.
Daisuke has not been able to land his Lutzes and 4T in practices, which is why he will attempt 4F instead.

agreed. it looks like it'd hurt, but it's such a FREAK ACCIDENT... I've seen skaters run into each other before (Tim G and Mike W in 2005 at nationals, and the ice dancer who broke his nose at nationals 2006 come to mind) but a jump collision?
It's a pretty "epic" collision to say the least.
Thanks for that update. Weird how skaters are better at jumps than others regardless of how the jumps are ranked. The toe is supposed to be easier than the flip but Dai feels more comfortable with the flip.
That collission looked awful (though yes, a bit cartoonish) and I really hope Daisuke is not affected. Kozuka must feel awful, too. Those Japanese guys are so cute though
Daisuke's difficulties with those jumps are because of his knee surgery. He's not used to the spring.
One of the reasons I'm not so harsh on skaters falling is because proper falling prevents injuries. Daisuke injured his knee holding on to a bad landing. He said he was quite injury free before that because he knew how to fall. Popping a jump too is an automatic action by the body to prevent injury.
The most recent incident is Voronov's injury from his quad landing in COC. I'm all for skater's well being and long term health. Pushing too hard can ruin one's body as well as career. E.g. Plushenko's hips are gone and require mulltiple surgeries. The great Yagudin's career was cut short - unfortunate for him and for the fans.
It was clearly an accident. However, had it been anyone else aside from Kozuka or Oda, I feel conspiracy theories would be all over the place by now.
Awww, poor Dai and Taka! They seem to be okay; I hope no one is seriously injured. Kozuka appears very sorry and embarrassed that it happened. Poor guys; it just goes to show that you have to be tough as nails to be a figure skater and be prepared to expect anything to happen. Outsiders always take for granted just how difficult and dangerous this sport can be! I hope they both can skate up to their bests!
Good luck to both Dai and Taka as they are actually my guys I am betting on!!!!!
On the contrary, I think most skating fans (except for perhaps some very new uber-ones who probably have never set foot near a rink before) are cognizant for the fact that collisions sometimes happen in practice sessions, especially when the skaters in question are very speedy elite skaters. For example, I believe Patrick Chan and Adam Rippon had a serious collision at Skate America earlier this season that resulted in Adam's black eye and shoulder injury, but not a single conspiracy theory or accusation was raised.
The forum on_skating is very interesting for observing social behaviour of young females in N America. They "stan" hot skaters, are very nice to each other but conform to hating Patrick Chan, calling him the worst names and wanting him to fall and cheer when he does. They cursed him for hurting adorable Adam Rippon (who's actually over a year older than Chan) in their collision and again today, amidst all the concern for Dai and Taka, accused Patrick of deliberately getting into a collision with Oda in practice, as if any skater would take such risk before a competition.
Just one forum as an example.
BTW, I believe Rippon got a bruised cheek from the collision but not a shoulder injury. He was sick from a cold through the competition though. Patrick was ridiculed for not getting up as fast but I was concerned he might have hurt his back again. He injured his back very badly in a mountain biking accident and the pain came back for a day just before SC. He didn't want that reported so probably would keep quiet about it if his back was hurt from the collision.

Oops, I meant Skate Canada. Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F80ouAg4l5Q
As for ontd_skating, I think they are absolutely hilarious, but (to me at least) they are quite tongue-in-cheek with their humour, sort of like the nicer, less annoying /b/ board of figure skating (except, you know, without all the porn and being nicer and obsessed with figure skating). I mean, it's hard to take their comments about Patrick Chan intentionally bowling Oda and Rippon over seriously when they also joke about having Joubert nudes or how Morozov caused the collisions with his voodoo.
And even Patrick Chan has his defenders in ontd_skating.

OpenCL is GPU/CPU agnostic. You can instruct a specific kernel to run on either, provided your drivers support this. Check the CL_DEVICE_TYPE_* enumeration.
Thanks for the free lecture, though.
I distinctly remember a couple of CUDA-based x264 encoders being hyped around last spring / summer, with numbers like "40% faster than the faster quad core" being thrown around. I haven't really followed the news, but a quick google search reveals that the actual products don't live up to the hype.No current GPU can come close to a good CPU running x264. The x264 devs have said that there are some small parts of the encoding process that could benefit from the GPU, but it isn't much. Unfortunately, most (all?) of the magazine and e-mag benchmarks have used a very bad CPU encoder like Apple's, an ancient build of x264, or very crazy settings.
GPU decoding is what is what will really be nice -- not encoding, sadly. Unless you're talking about advanced post-processing before encoding, as the GPU can help a ton with FFT noise/grain removal.
I still see potential in GPU-assisted encoding, however. Low-end machines will probably benefit more than high-end ones here (the latter can already handle x264 encoding in real time).
Other than that, you need to remember that we are just at the beginning of the GPGPU era. This is more or less new ground: the necessary tools are only now becoming available (no, Brook and CUDA aren't not nearly good enough for wide-spread adaptation; Compute shaders and OpenCL on the other hand, are.)

Lockheed CEO-elect Kubasik resigns after ethics probe
Friday - 11/9/2012, 6:55pm EST
Christopher Kubasik, Lockheed Martin's president, chief operating officer and CEO-elect, resigned Friday after an ethics probe revealed a personal relationship with a subordinate employee, the company announced.
Lockheed's board of directors asked for Kubasik's resignation.
The board named Marillyn Hewson, the executive vice president of the company's Electronic Systems unit, the president and COO effective immediately. Hewson will also become the CEO in January 2013. Kubasik had been slated to become the company's chief executive, taking over for retiring Bob Stevens.
Lockheed said Kubasik's actions violated the company's code of ethics.
Lockheed's response "demonstrates our unyielding commitment to holding every employee accountable for their actions," Stevens said in a statement. "Fortunately, we have a strong leadership team and a robust succession plan that allowed the board and me to react quickly and appropriately to this situation."
The board named Stevens executive chairman to work alongside Hewson to "facilitate a smooth CEO transition."
Hewson, a veteran Lockheed employee, joined the company in 1983.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity is the third sequel in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game series released in November 2012 in Japan. The release date for North America is set for March 24th, 2013, while other release dates are unknown. It was first announced to the public in the Japanese 'CoroCoro' magazine on September 12th, 2012. Not much is yet known about the game.
A major improvement introduced in Gates to Infinity is that the game will feature a full 3D world. All other games in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series so far have been 2D third-person games, so this improvement is quite dramatic.
[show]Confirmed Pokémon
in each Mystery Dungeon game, a Pokémon is selected to be given to the player as their starter. Unlike the other handheld Mystery Dungeon games, you are able to choose your playable Pokemon from the start.
Confirmed Facts
- The game features 144 recruitable Pokemon, many of which are from Generation V.
- Will feature appearances from Virizion, Gurdurr, Hydreigon, Cofagrigus, Foongus, Cinccino, Dunsparce, Espeon, Umbreon, Excadrill, Rampardos, Pelipper and Kecleon.
- You receive Quest Requests from Dunsparce and Cofagrigus. They will run a store (details unknown), Rampardos runs the Treasure Store and Kecleon will return with his usual Goods Store.
- A "magnagate" is a type of portal in the game that teleports your team into different dungeons. However, you don't use your own Pokemon, instead having your team chosen for you. The dungeon you are teleported to is randomly selected.
- You will be able to create new Magnagates by using an included AR feature and scanning circular things.
- Kyurem is the main antagonist, but is really being conrolled by a greater force known as the Glacial body.
