1.What is this notice about?
Basic Information
This notice explains that the Court has allowed, or certified, a class action lawsuit that may affect you and that there is a settlement pending in the case. You have legal rights and options in this action. This class action lawsuit is known as Pecover v. Electronic Arts, No. 08-cv-02820 CW. It is pending in the United States Federal District Court for the Northern District of California, located in Oakland, California.
2.What is this lawsuit about?
The lawsuit claims that Electronic Arts violated federal and California antitrust laws, as well as California consumer protection laws, by signing exclusive licensing agreements with the Arena Football League (AFL), the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) (on behalf of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)), the National Football League (NFL), the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) and ESPN. The lawsuit claims that these agreements gave Electronic Arts a monopoly over an alleged market for league-branded, simulation football videogames, and allowed it to charge higher prices than it would have in a competitive environment. The suit seeks to recover monetary damages and restitution, as well as injunctive relief.
Electronic Arts denies Plaintiffs allegations. Electronic Arts asserts that (i) there is no such thing as a discreet market for league-branded, simulation football videogames; (ii) the NFL and its Players Association, the NCAA, and other licensors asked Electronic Arts and other game publishers to bid for the rights to make videogames using their trademarks and other intellectual property rights; (iii) EA did so and was awarded certain rights to make videogames using these licensors trademarks and other intellectual property rights; (iv) it is not illegal to bid on trademark licenses, exclusive or otherwise, that intellectual property owners choose to offer, (v) exclusive trademark licenses are commonplace and widely accepted in commerce and under the law as one legitimate way for an intellectual property rights holder to maximize the value of its property, (vi) the conduct challenged by Plaintiffs has not injured consumers, and (vii) Electronic Arts has never charged supra-competitive prices for its videogames.
The Court has not decided whether Electronic Arts did anything wrong, and this Notice is not an expression of any opinion by the Court about the merits of any of the claims or defenses asserted by any party to this litigation.
3.What is a class action and who is involved?
In a class action lawsuit, one or more people (in this case Geoffrey Pecover and Andrew Owens) have sued on behalf of other people (called Class Members) who have similar claims. One court resolves the issues for everyone except for those people who choose to exclude themselves from the class. The company sued in this case, Electronic Arts, is called the Defendant.
4.Why is this lawsuit a class action?
The Court decided that this lawsuit and the Settlement, if approved, can be a class action because it meets the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23, which governs class actions in federal courts. More information about why the Court is allowing this lawsuit to be a class action is in the Courts Preliminary Approval Order, found here.
The Claims in the Lawsuit5.What are the Plaintiffs claims in the lawsuit?
In the lawsuit, the Plaintiffs claim that Electronic Arts exclusive licensing agreements violate various federal and California laws. You can read the Plaintiffs First Amended Complaint, filed in Pecover v. Electronic Arts, No. 08-cv-02820 CW, dated May 9, 2011, here.
6.How does Electronic Arts answer?
Electronic Arts denies any wrongdoing and denies the Plaintiffs allegations. Electronic Arts contends that the exclusive licensing agreements are legal and proper, and that it never overcharged consumers for the videogames at issue. Additional information regarding Electronic Arts position is set out above (see What is this lawsuit about?).
7.Has the Court decided who is right?
The Court has not decided whether Electronic Arts is correct, or whether Plaintiffs are correct. By issuing this Notice, the Court is not suggesting that the Plaintiffs would have won or lost this case. This Notice is to inform you about the Settlement and that you must make a decision about it.
The Proposed Settlement8.What are the terms of the Settlement?
The Settlement provides that Electronic Arts will pay $27 million into a fund that will include money for Settlement Class Members to be provided for timely and valid claims as detailed below in paragraph 9, after deducting payment for the costs of administering the Settlement, including the costs of this notice, attorneys fees, costs of the litigation and any payments allowed by the Court to the named Plaintiffs, known as the class representatives. This money is referred to here as the Common Fund.
Additionally, the Settlement provides that Electronic Arts will not enter into an exclusive trademark license with the AFL for five years from the date of approval of the Settlement; and that Electronic Arts will not renew its current collegiate football trademark license with the CLC on an exclusive basis for five years after it expires in 2014; and that Electronic Arts will not seek any new exclusive trademark license for the purpose of making football videogames with the CLC, the NCAA, or any NCAA member institution covered by the current exclusive license for five years after the expiration of the current CLC agreement. You can read more about the Settlement here.
The Settlement will release claims that consumers may have against Electronic Arts relating to the exclusive agreements, and any resulting overcharge for football videogames, for the period of time from January 1, 2005 to June 21, 2012, unless an individual excludes himself or herself from the Settlement. Specifically, the Settlement will release and forever discharge the claims that were pled or could have been pled in the Pecover v. Electronic Arts case. You can read more about the scope of the release and the released claims here.
9.How much will my payment be?
If approved by the Court, payments will be made to Settlement Class Members who submit timely and valid claims out of the net proceeds of the Settlement (the amount available after deducting payment of the costs of administering the Settlement, including the costs of this notice, attorneys fees, costs of the litigation, and any payments allowed by the Court to the named Plaintiffs) based on the type and number of videogames purchased by a Settlement Class Member.
If you are an eligible Settlement Class Member, your share of the net proceeds of the Settlement will be based upon the number of videogame titles you purchased new, as well as the number of Settlement Class Members who submit valid claims.
Valid claims for the purchase of Madden NFL, NCAA Football, or Arena Football videogames for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, PC, or GameCube platforms (Sixth Generation Purchasers) will be valued at $6.79 per new game purchased, up to a total of eight units ($54.32). Valid claims for the purchase of Madden NFL or NCAA Football videogames for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Wii platforms (Seventh Generation Purchasers) will be valued at $1.95 per new game purchased, up to a total of eight units ($15.60). The different amounts reflect the differences in Plaintiffs estimated overcharge for the various platforms, as determined by the economics experts hired by Plaintiffs to evaluate their claims.
If after receiving all valid claims, the claims administrator determines that the net settlement amount is sufficient to pay out all the valid claims submitted, then each valid claim will be paid out at the values listed above. If, however, the claims administrator determines that the net settlement amount is not enough to pay out all the valid claims submitted, then the claim amounts will be reduced on a pro rata basis.
If, after paying out valid claims made by Settlement Class Members, monies remain available, the parties will make their best efforts to identify Settlement Class Members who (i) have purchased sixth generation games, (ii) provided Electronic Arts with a physical mailing address, and (iii) did not submit a Claim, and send payment to such individuals in an amount that equals the average claim paid to a sixth generation purchaser who submitted a claim, without the necessity of a Claims Form.
10.Is there any money available now?
No money or benefits are available now because the Court has not yet decided whether to approve the Settlement. There is no guarantee that money or benefits ever will be obtained; however, if you want to participate in the Settlement you should file a claim online here, or submit the Claim Form, available here.
Who Is in the Settlement ClassYou need to decide whether you are affected by this lawsuit.
11.Am I part of this Settlement Class?
You are a member of the Settlement Class if:
You are in the United States and bought a new copy of an Electronic Arts Madden NFL, NCAA Football, orArena Football videogame for Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, GameCube, PC, or Wii, with a release date of January 1, 2005 to June 21, 2012.
You are excluded from the Settlement Class if (1) you purchased the game(s) directly from Electronic Arts; (2) you purchased only used copies of the games; or (3) you are an employee, officer, director, or legal representative or Electronic Arts or a wholly or a partly owned subsidiary or affiliated company.
You are also excluded from the Settlement Class if you previously submitted a timely request for exclusion on or prior to June 25, 2011.
Your Rights and OptionsYou have to decide whether to participate in the Settlement and you have to decide this now.
12. What happens if I do nothing at all?
You must file a claim online here, or submit a Claim Form, (available here), by March 5, 2013 if you want to keep the possibility of getting money from this lawsuit.
Keep in mind that if (a) you do nothing or (b) you submit a Claim Form, you will not be able to sue, or continue to sue, Electronic Arts as part of any other lawsuit under state or federal law about any issues relating to the exclusive agreements described above, and any resulting overcharge for football videogames, for the period of time from January 1, 2005 to June 21, 2012.
Claim Forms may be submitted electronically through the website at www.easportslitigation.com or by first class mail to:
13.Why would I ask to be excluded?Electronic Arts Settlementc/o Gilardi & Co. LLCP.O. Box 808054Petaluma CA 94975-8054
If you want to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class and keep your right to sue Electronic Arts on your own for the claims described in paragraph 2 of this notice, you must take further action. (See below How do I ask the Court to exclude me from the Settlement Class?).
If you exclude yourself from the Settlement Class which means to remove yourself from the Settlement Class, and is sometimes called opting out of the class you wont get any money or benefits from the Settlement. However, if you exclude yourself, this lawsuit will not interfere with any rights you have to sue or continue to sue or arbitrate against Electronic Arts in a separate case. If you elect to exclude yourself because you want to pursue your own claims against Electronic Arts, you should assert such claims promptly to protect against them being lost due to the passage of time. If you exclude yourself, you will not be legally bound by the Courts judgments in this class action.
14.How do I ask the Court to exclude me from the Settlement Class?
To ask to be excluded, you must send a letter, postmarked by December 10, 2012, to the Class Counsel appointed by the Court:
Shana E. Scarlett
Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP
715 Hearst Ave., Suite 202
Berkeley, CA 94710.
In your letter, be sure to reference the name of this lawsuit, Pecover v. Electronic Arts, and remember to sign the letter.
15.What happens if I do not exclude myself from the Settlement Class?
Any Settlement Class Member who does not properly and timely request exclusion from the Settlement Class shall, upon final approval of the Settlement, be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Settlement, including but not limited to the releases, waivers, and covenants described in the Settlement; their claims against Electronic Arts shall forever be released and dismissed, whether or not such person or entity objected to such Settlement and whether or not such person or entity made a claim upon any fund from such Settlement.
16.How do I object to the Settlement?
If you are a Settlement Class Member, you can tell the Court that you dont agree with the Settlement or some part of it. You can give reasons why you think the Court should not approve it. The Court will consider your views. If you do not file an objection to the Settlement, you waive your right to object to and/or appeal the Settlement.
To object, you must send a letter saying that you object to the Settlement in Pecover v. Electronic Arts. Be sure to include your name, address, telephone number, your signature, and the reasons you object to the Settlement. Mail the objection to these two different places postmarked no later than December 10, 2012:
Objecting is simply telling the Court that you dont like something about the Settlement. You can object only if you stay in the Settlement Class. Excluding yourself is telling the Court that you dont want to be part of the Settlement Class. If you exclude yourself, you have no basis to object because the case no longer affects you.

You also have the right, either personally or through an attorney retained and paid by you, to seek to intervene in the case.
17. What Is the Settlement Fairness Hearing and When Is It?
On February 7, 2013 at 2:00 pm, a hearing will be held in Courtroom 2 of the Oakland Courthouse of the United States Federal District Court for the Northern District of California, located at 1301 Clay St., Oakland, CA 94612, to determine whether the Settlement should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable, and adequate, whether judgment should be entered thereon, and whether this lawsuit should be dismissed with prejudice against Electronic Arts (Settlement Fairness Hearing).

These amounts, if awarded, will be deducted from the Common Fund.
Your attendance at the Settlement Fairness Hearing is not required. However, you may be heard orally at the Settlement Fairness Hearing in opposition to the proposed Settlement or Class Counsels application for attorneys fees and expenses, but only if you have timely filed written objections in the manner described above, including a statement that you intend to appear and be heard at the Settlement Fairness Hearing. You may also enter an appearance through an attorney, at your own expense. If you do not do so, you will be represented in the case by Class Counsel.
The time and date of the Settlement Fairness Hearing may be changed without further notice to the Settlement Class. Any changes to the date and time of the Settlement Fairness Hearing will be posted atwww.easportslitigation.com.
Pending final determination of whether the Settlement should be approved, you and your representatives are barred from filing any lawsuit asserting any claims against Electronic Arts that relate to the settled claims as defined above.

The Lawyers Representing You18.Do the Settlement Class Members have a lawyer in this case?
The Court appointed the law firms of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP and The Paynter Law Firm PLLC to represent the Plaintiffs and Settlement Class Members. Together the law firms are called Class Counsel. More information about these law firms, their practices, and their lawyers experience is available atwww.hbsslaw.com and www.smplegal.com.
19.Should I get my own lawyer?
If you choose to remain in the Settlement Class, you do not need to hire your own lawyer because Class Counsel are working on your behalf. But if you want your own lawyer, you will be responsible for paying that lawyer. For example, you can ask him or her to appear in Court for you if you want someone other than Class Counsel to speak for you.
20.How will the lawyers be paid?
If the Settlement is approved, Class Counsel will ask the Court for fees and expenses. If the Court grants Class Counsels request, the fees and expenses would be deducted from the $27 million Common Fund paid by Electronic Arts. Class Counsel have agreed not to seek more than 30% of the Common Fund, or $9 million, as compensation. Class Counsel have also agreed not to seek more than $2,000,000 for expenses incurred in pursuing this lawsuit. Class Counsels motion for fees and costs must be filed by November 26, 2012, and will be posted shortly thereafter to the website www.easportslitigation.com. You can object to the requests of Class Counsel by following the procedure for objecting to the Settlement described in paragraph 16.
The Parties Reasons for Settlement21.What are the parties' reasons for settlement?
As part of this litigation, Class Counsel have conducted extensive formal discovery into the claims of the members of the Settlement Class and the defenses that might be asserted thereto. Based on this discovery and investigation, Class Counsel believes that the Settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate and in the best interest of the Settlement Class. Class Counsel and Plaintiffs also recognize the expense and length of continued proceedings necessary to continue the litigation against Electronic Arts through verdict, judgment, and appeals, and have taken into account the uncertainty and the risk of the outcome of continued litigation, especially in a complex action such as this, and the difficulties and delays inherent in such an action.
Electronic Arts has denied and continues to deny each and all of the claims and contentions alleged by the Plaintiffs. Electronic Arts has repeatedly asserted and continues to assert many defenses thereto, and has expressly denied and continues to deny (i) any wrongdoing or legal liability arising out of any of the conduct alleged in the class action and (ii) that the Settlement Class has suffered any damage by reason of the alleged wrongdoing. Nevertheless, Electronic Arts has concluded that further conduct of this litigation against it would be protracted and expensive and that settlement therefore is desirable. Electronic Arts also has taken into account the uncertainty and the risk of the outcome in any litigation, especially complex cases such as this one. Electronic Arts has, therefore, determined that it is desirable and beneficial to it that the litigation be settled in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the proposed Settlement.
Getting More Information22.Are more details available?
Additional information about this lawsuit and the proposed Settlement are on file with the District Court. Additionally, you can also view the First Amended Complaint that the Plaintiffs submitted, the order certifying the class, the Courts Preliminary Approval Order, the Stipulation and Agreement of Class Action Settlement and Release, and other case-related documents here.

I got an email yesterday from a Mr Silatu in Nigeria. It was a heartbreaking e-mail. He has a large family fortune being held in the bank but he can't get to it because his father is in a coma and will never come out of it. He needs some money for lawyers to free the funds and he promised me if I sent him some money he would give me a 6000% return. I transferred the money today. I'm so $#@!ing excited and can't believe my luck at being chosen out of millions of people. My luck is finally changing.

I would've immediately deleted that email if I got it. Not necessarily because it's a scam but because I wouldn't even bother reading a mail that long.

I got a letter from a law firm last week notifying me that a class-action lawsuit against my bank had been settled (I never joined or signed up for the lawsuit) and that, as a plaintiff who had been wrongly charged overdraft fees, I was receiving my share of the settlement. My share was a check for $6.72, drawn on the bank I apparently just got done suing. My lucky day.
Shut up and play games
10-15-2012 #13
class action lawsuits usually arrive in the mail, and usually require you do nothing unless you want to "OPT OUT" of any earnings you may recieve. (ive actually been in 2 class actions 24hour fitness ended up paying us back $2500, and my old job Washington Mutual is paying out 1000 in back paid breaks they never paid.)
Both of these already have any information they need to write me a check should the class action win... its as easy as sitting back and getting the mail.Last edited by SomaXD; 10-15-2012 at 04:16.

Heh, actually looks pretty legit. Whoever made it put in some elbow work I suppose.
But as said CA's usually arrive in the mail, and require you do nothing unless you don't want to be a party to it.
Strange I saw this today since I just received a class action lawsuit check in the mail today.

Auburn Hills -- John Beilein doesn't need the statistics to tell him what he already knows.
But, yes, the coach says with a wry smile, when reminded that his Michigan team is 17-1 when freshman Glenn Robinson III scores in double figures. "I'm aware of that stat."
And yes, Tom Izzo's aware of a similar one involving his team, a Michigan State squad that is 13-2 when sophomore Branden Dawson hits double digits.
Before the season, Izzo called Dawson, who was coming off a torn ACL suffered last March, his team's "X-factor." And now, as Michigan State gets ready to tip off against Valparaiso in the NCAA Tournament today at The Palace, that's still the case.
"I think we're a pretty good team — and maybe a great team — if we get more than two guys to play well at the same time," Izzo said.
Beilein certainly could say the same, as he, too, searches for a third wheel that can help carry the Wolverines on a lengthy tournament run. But he won't, at least not publicly.
"I don't want put it, 'This guy has to play well for us to advance,'" Beilein said. "I mean, this is big-boy basketball right now. The whole team has got to play well. That's it. If you don't, if you have a bad day, you're probably out."
Robinson must score
True enough. And there are other options for both teams, inside and out, from Derrick Nix to Travis Trice and Mitch McGary to Nik Stauskas. But the two best athletes on either roster might be the biggest wild cards as the Spartans and Wolverines get started in their backyard.
Robinson's a dynamic talent who proved surprisingly efficient and productive early in his freshman season, averaging 12 points and six rebounds as the Wolverines went undefeated in nonconference play.
The numbers have fallen off since then — particularly against the Big Ten's better teams — but Robinson remains a bellwether of sorts for his team. Since the start of the conference season, the Wolverines are 9-1 when Robinson scores 10 or more. They're 4-6 when he doesn't.
Simply put, "We're better when he's scoring," Beilein says.
But they're also better — and so is Robinson — when Michigan is defending.
Because at this stage of his development, the 6-foot-6 forward doesn't really get going — "That's something I've got to work at, is going at that fifth gear the whole time," he admits — until the Wolverines start getting stops.
"When we stop people, he gets on the fastbreak and he scores buckets — a lot of them," Beilein said. "So the key to all this may be defense."
Actually, the key might be the opponents — a South Dakota State team that doesn't defend well, and perhaps a Virginia Commonwealth team Saturday that'll push the pace from start to finish.
Dawson has to get going
Michigan State's draw offers more freedom as well.
But can Dawson be the key?
"I'll say yes," said the sophomore, who's well aware just how important that'd be. "Because this team, when everyone is clicking, we're a much better team. Lately, some guys haven't been clicking."
Dawson is one of those guys, obviously. Michigan State was 7-1 in the Big Ten when Dawson scored 10 or more. But that's something he hasn't done in more than a month, since the big win over Michigan at the Breslin Center in mid-February.
Part of the problem has been his knee injury, which cost him a crucial summer of growth and still keeps him from doing all the things he'd like to. Watch him attacking the basket in the lane and you'll see he's still not comfortable finishing, especially when he's pivoting or spinning. Watch him shoot from the perimeter and, well, you'll see why his coaches are more comfortable with him finding other ways to get his points.
"To me, he's starting to get a better understanding of how to score, how to put himself in position to score," said assistant Mike Garland, who has worked extensively with Dawson this season.
"It's just an awareness of what he needs to do."
And much like Robinson, what he needs to do has little to do with jump shots. Garland likes to point to Victor Oladipo, Indiana's All-American guard, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, a fellow 2011 McDonald's All-American who won a national title with Kentucky last spring, as examples to follow.
"Those guys, they score 15-16 points a game and they never really take shots," Garland said. "It's all high-energy stuff."
It's that kind of stuff that's needed most right now. Stats aside, everybody should be aware of that.

Buy a more economical video card according to your actual needs. Then on 2011-2012 buy another economical card for your future needs (you don't know yet). Nvidia and ATI are always making profit of plp who want their latest hardware and this hardware is over-priced. They are playing you, and you consent.
Spending 650$ for linux + wine is a waste of performance and money, you are wasting 50% of this monstrous card brute force on the vast majority of wine games, you can play at the same performance using a 200$ ati card on windows.
Well, this is at least my point of view.

I hope the title says it, I am bored to tears over all these audio standards.
I lost track over oss, alsa, phonon, pulseaudio, and what is wrapper for what and what is a wrapper for your neighbor's hot dog.
Yohoo, here comes yet another audio standard... Sigh.
Please, Michael, could you make an graphic overview of all audio standards released. And, which are associated with what, e.g. Gnome, KDE, xfce, etc.
I recall an interview with Mark Shuttleworth from a few months ago where he too thought it was a mess. And, this is harming Linux, I guess. Which standard should developers follow?! They tend to be not only incompatible but also conflicting.
I think iD software jumped on the "wrong" bandwagon several times. Linux software may die off, because of malnutrition.
Heeeellllp, I'm drowning in silence.

EDUCAUSEUncommon Thinking for the Common Good™
EDUCAUSE is the foremost community of higher education IT leaders and professionals.
Higher education's purpose is to equip students for success in life -- in the workplace, in communities, and their personal lives. While this purpose may have remained constant for centuries, the world around colleges and universities is undergoing significant change. Higher education is under pressure to meet greater expectations, whether for student numbers, educational preparation, workforce needs, or economic development. Meanwhile, the resources available are likely to decline. New models, an intense focus on the student experience, and a drive for innovation and entrepreneurism will ensure that higher education continues to meet society's needs. Information technology supports virtually every aspect of higher education, including finances, learning, research, security, and sustainability, and IT professionals need to understand the range of problems their institutions face so they apply IT where it brings greatest value. Creating this future will require collaboration across organizational and national boundaries, bringing together the collective intelligence of people from backgrounds including education, corporations, and government.

6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.congrats to everyone that has achieved there goal this year already and those that will at the end of this month, been a good year broke the two goals i set , into the 9000's km for the year so pretty happy with that the latest edition Giant TCR Aero has helped the motivation... the best $250 i spent this year for a bike!
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.93kms for me this morning with Sam. That 9,000 for the year.
http://app.strava.com/activities/30329613 At one point Sam punctured. We fixed it and he took off. I was just taking off, looked up and Sam had stopped and I slipped on the pedal and it slammed into my shin.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Ouch! Metal pedals are like tow bars. May they never meet your shin...
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Congratulations everyone on doing so much great riding in all sorts of conditions! I've got to do about 677 to make the 6k goal this year and while I'm pretty sure I won't get there I am going to give it a go. A few events have dented my confidence of late however once I decide on something I don't give up easily. So I really should stop whinging...and keep riding
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.
Are you kidding??? you paid $250 for this bike?? do tell the story?
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.
Go for it Julie, you can do it!! I think there's only you and I left of the girls here in the 6k club...don't let the side down Unless we get loads of rain I think that I will make my revised goal of 9k...how far into the 9's I can get remains to be seen... Lisa
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Rode the Berrima 200 today with BLC and sblack amongst the cast.
I was worried about the forecast 35-38 degrees across the ride route and was surprised to be met with rain and mild temperatures before the start in the morning. So surprised in fact that I left my garmin attached to the computer and spent most of the day looking at the mount wondering where I was, how fast I was going and whether I was about to have a heart attack. We lucked out with the weather in what was a pretty difficult day elsewhere, the early rain and cloud cover for the first 100km gave us an edge on the second hundred where things got a bit warmer for a while before the evening began to cool. The salt stains on our nicks and gloves told a story, as did the Bidon showers at the end of the ride. Coming down Macquarie Pass near the end we were treated to the spectacle of a stuck truck on a hairpin which had completely blocked the road. Luckily we were able to crawl under it with our bikes and enjoy a hassle free descent. There were 7 starters for the ride and everyone made it. As the ride organiser it was particularly pleasing to see 3 people record their first 200km ride, so congratulations to them. Great to see people pushing their limits and achieving goals! Todays ride leaves me with about 220km to go to reach my 6006 goal for the year.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Thanks for organising the ride Grant. My Garmin had the average temperature at 30.4 and topping out at 41.0 around Berrima. I'm guessing that was at the point where the tyres where causing the popping sounds as the rolled over the bitumen.
Time for a bit of a November wrap up. I had too monthly goals, the first being to complete the Highland Fling with a secondary goal of doing it in under 10 hours. Completing with an official time of 8:58:14 I had that one nicely under control. The second goal was for the following weekend being to complete the BMC 79 mile challenge which I managed to do and along the way passing the 6000 m climbing for the month and the 6999 km goal for the year. I then decided to up my yearly goal to 8000 km which seams doable but will still need a good December, finishing December with my bar telling me I'm 125 km behind, requiring 741 km in December. Despite nearly a week off the bike ill I managed 656.1 km and 9552 m of climbing for November. I also had the pleasure of finishing the month off with my first ride with Noah, on his own bike that is. Previously he'd only done a few short rides where I'd walked and jogged along with him but with a new 16 inch bike for his birthday he was ready to have me ride along with him. I rode down to day care with Alex to pick him up and from there we rode to little As. When he'd finished he told me he wanted to ride home so we headed off towards home. I let him lead the way and he decided to take us the long way and was having a blast riding around obstacles just to have some more fun. He managed to clock up about 8 km before hitting our hill and walking up. December got off to a healthy start today with Grant's Berrima 200. Got me back on track for the 8000 km as well as taking me past last year's totals for both distance ridden and metres climbed and carving a decent chunk out of December's 6000 m target.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.
yes unbelievable, i wasn't really looking to buy another bike, when i spotted this on gumtree here in newcastle, rang and found out that the bike was bought new in 2002 by a lady that was going to try a few triathalons... but it never happened and the bike was hung up in the garage, thats where it stayed until she decided it was time to sell, the frame and bike is unmarked, as it never got on the road except for a few km since new, it even has the team once logo embedded in the frame, as my local bike mechanic/shop told me! they were limited edition frames made especially for them, all shimano 105 gearing and the only thing i changed was the tyres and a compact 50x34 105 crank, i was not keen on the original 52x39. I reckon it was the best buy of cycling gear i bought in 2012
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Third time in less than two weeks I've nearly been hit by a car while in a roundabout - and it's making me very nervous. Each time I've been in the roundabout and they've entered and either just not seen me or not cared and I've had to veer away - or get hit. Not sure whether its the time of year or me or what?! Felt I needed to vent to bike people because car people just look at me blankly (and enter the roundabout...).

Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.
Ouch, yep that would dent your confidence a bit...roundabouts are the devils work when you're on a bike, hate the things! We spent a week at Noosa last month and the place is filled with them.... had a couple of close calls myself that week Lisa
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.About 450kms for me this month. I think I may have to revise my goal down to 6000kms.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.November was a bit down for me at 340km but then I did have another health setback. All clear now and 600 to go to hit the target. Should be able to make it.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.I should add that I have managed to keep my climbing average over 1% which I'm very happy with.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.
Good effort Dave. Nearly impossible for me given it is as flat as a 8 year old girls chest around here. 899.5kms to go for me to hit 10,000km for the year.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.
Nice work Oldnewby!!! That is an awful lot of climbing, but out your way on the weekend and realise why. we had the bikes with us and MOST of the cycling gear (I forgot to include Mrs C+W's SPD-SL shoes ) Found a bike shop at Narre Warren and bought some spare pedals and toe clips. Looked up MapMyRide for suggestions and settled on a 40km loop from Berwick up to Emerald and back via Harkaway. Worried that we were about to find ourselves at the foot of a huge climb as ALL the bikes we saw were going in the opposite direction It really is a very nice part of the world! A big shout out for Cafe Red Box in Emerald-great lamb wrap, salad and tatziki (souvlaki by any other name), huge slabs of cake to help us descend and very good coffee (9-9.5/10). Finished the afternoon off by climbing the 1 in 20 for the first time; have long admired all the climbs on the Climbing Cyclist but worried how much of a struggle they might be. My time won't break any records 28:47 but very happy to have managed it. Oldnewby, was your Lake Mountain climb part of the 7 Peaks Domestique series loosely coordinated by Climbing Cyclist? read the review and was disappointed i had missed it, not sure how I would go with the 7 Peaks. how did you find it? Will have to lift my game this week, we are neck a neck on YTD km. Happy riding. Merida 903 from the LBS; Diesel engine
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.
Have a crack at it Julie, you are so close. Small goals of 150km per week and knock over whatever is left in any time off over Christmas. Good luck with it and keep us posted on progress at the end of the week. cheers! Merida 903 from the LBS; Diesel engine
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Julie, I think it's the time of year that drivers just are more impatient and/or paying less attention to what they're doing. I've noticed an increase in the number of people pulling out on me both while I'm on the bike and in the car. I've also noticed a marked increase in the number of emergency vehicles I see heading places in the last few weeks. Your goal is still within reach though, just going to take a consistent month to get there.
Norbs, I've downloaded the podcast to have a listen to when I have a bit more time, looking forward to having a listen. Was going to comment that you're starting to become a media personality and is this your new profession when I noticed on your blog you had a job interview, how'd it go? Dave, top effort for your year so far, good to see you're still within reach of your goal despite the health setbacks. Not surprised at the rate of climbing given the nature of the terrain up your way but it does make the getting back on the bike that more impressive as there isn't many easy options to ease back into it. Oldnewby, impressive first year back on the bike. Regardless of strava/bikely accuracy it's still a decent amount of climbing. Thought I'd try and give a bit of a ride report on the Berrima ride from Saturday. My story really begins on the Friday night when I failed to stick to my plan. I was about to go get the bike ready when my wife suggested I just sit down with the family as they watch a movie, the kids will be asleep soon and I can go get the bike ready then. Sounded good in theory but was flawed in practice as I happened to be the one to fall asleep first. It meant waking up in the morning and trying to get everything ready in a bit more of a rush than I'd have liked. All going ok until I decided to check my saddle bag for my reflective belt that was required due to the ride's allowable time extending beyond sunset. It wasn't there so it was off to searching before I found it buried away in another bag that I'd used 7 months earlier when I'd done my last 300km ride. So I had everything ready, just enough time left to get to the start in time and started to wheel my bike out. It was strangely difficult to push, like a brake was stuck on. Tried spinning the rear wheel, all ok. Now the front, something wasn't right. It was the brakes though. Then I noticed the fork mounted light I'd attached about half an hour earlier was in the right spot.. and one of the rubber straps that was meant to be holding it on was down and wrapped in around the hub as well as being cut in half. I have a feeling when putting it on I'd wrapped the strap around a spoke as well as the fork. So it was back into the garage to grab another strap and by the time I finally got to leave I was well behind my planned departure time. As I did the calculations on the way I realised I wouldn't make the ride start time so a quick call to let Grant know. I would have been happy for them to head off and to maybe catch up at the first checkpoint but he decided to delay the start for me so when I arrived at Dapto station I was greeted by the other six riders for the day and we head off about 5 minutes late. Considering a forecast of high thirties and potential thunderstorms seven riders was a very good turnout for the ride. The start of the ride was backtracking my ride to the start as we headed back through Albion Park on our way to Macquarie Pass. The temperature was already warm for so early in the day, a warning of what we might expect for the rest of the day. Usually on the local Audax rides, with a climb of the escarpment early on, the group tends to break up reasonably early. The undulating climb from Albion Park, deceptive in just how much climbing you actually do, is often where things start to break up but today the group was holding together. Whatever manages to stay together usually comes apart fairly quickly once reaching the pass. With the first two kilometres being the steepest section it's generally a case of finding your own climbing pace and letting others do the same then catching up with them later at the first checkpoint. That just wasn't happening today, with Grant setting the pace everyone just followed for the first 1500m or so before Mark went past and was the first rider to start moving away from the group. A little later and Harvey went past. It was a bit further on, after a steep pinch on a turn when I found myself on the inside and making my way past Grant. It was about this point in the climb when I'd say I was feeling pretty good. While my legs where feeling the climb it was both a pain and climb I was familiar with and the rhythm I found myself in was an instinctive thing that fit somewhere within the realm between comfortable and pushing hard. I was also entering the area of the climb where I am most glad I have the triple crankset. It's the area where the gradient changes match nicely with the closer spacing of the casette that the triple allows me to get away with. Harvey's gearing doesn't appear anywhere near as friendly for him as on the steeper sections I can see him struggle as I catch him while each time the road flattened a little he'd go flying past looking much more comfortable. I'd later find out his gearing was compromised at both ends. Not only was his lowest gear a little too tall on the steeper sections but his front derailleur also refused to change into the big ring meaning he'd also have to spin like crazy during other sections of the day. Certainly making a tough day even tougher for him but regardless, as the top half of the Pass sees the gradient dropping off he disappeared off ahead and then Terry also went sailing past and before long I was in the familiar Audax position of riding along my own somewhere in the middle of the pack. While it had taken longer than usual I expected that most of the ride would now be like this, meeting up with the others at checkpoints and maybe riding along with them for short sections along the way but predominantly riding solo or possibly find one other rider moving along at a similar pace to stick with for a while. more to come when I have some time to continue writing.....

Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.
I'm not holding my breath, put it that way. The guy leading the panel is a bloke I knew 25 years ago. We were pretty good mates. I was even better mates with his sister. It all ended badly. So my hopes aren't high.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.
So media personality it is then Getting back to my report... As I was getting towards the end of the pass I had started to feel a little hungry. Not a good sign for so early in a 200, have to have a decent feed at the Fitzroy Falls stop rather than waiting for a later stop I figure. Only 20kms to make it there so a gel should get me through until then. After the main section of the pass Mark and Terry had stopped to wait for others to catch up and further ahead Harvey had pulled into the pie shop so as I pushed on towards the first official stop I was now ahead of the group. The temperature has dropped nicely up in the highlands and the riding was quite pleasant on the way into Fitzroy Falls. I noticed some markings along the way that seamed to be directing me along the route. Strange, I thought. Grant hadn't gone out the day before and marked the turns had he? No he hadn't, they didn't all go the right way so there was obvioulsy some other event on at some stage. Arriving at the visitors centre I ordered a big breakfast to hopefully sustain me through the next section of the ride and get ride of the hunger that was creeping in. Well big was an understatement. A large dinner plate loaded with bacon, sausages, a couple of eggs, tomatoe and chips and then a seperate plate and bowl with baked beans and toast. It was lucky I'd arrived ahead of the group because it would take some time to get through all that. During the stop, as others came and went, some other riders also came along and commented on a large group of riders in matching kit that they'd just seen. That would explain the markings out on the road, later I'd find out Cadel was out leading a charity ride around the area. Although our routes would cross several times during the day I never did see his group..... Last edited by sblack on Tue Dec 04, 2012 9:16 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Ahh the memories. Can't wait to relive the freeway in the sun.
Seems that the bikejournal progress bar has stalled. Anyone know why? Thinking I might jump ship to the strava one.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Not sure Grant as I jumped ship earlier in the year but I still log my data. Trying to sort the club stats has been coming up with a runtime error for a few days which may be the reason.

Soapsuds Hollow: Public warming house still holds value
It was a perfect summer evening. There was a ballgame at Rickeman Field, so I walked down to the warming house to take a look.Recent rains have drained away, but there was still water in the ditch on the west side of the warming house. With the Garfield bridge almost completely gone, and the old bridge which crossed the river at Orleans Avenue but a memory, the ditch appears to be the best place to cross the river.All you need is a canoe.As I walked across the ditch and looked south to the baseball field, it suddenly occurred to me that my canoe would be a great way to get to the ballgame. I could beach it on the south bank with little or no effort, and quietly return to the warming house after the game.The scoreboard was hidden from view, so I began to walk eastward, along the south end of the skating rink. The berms are still there. This would be a great place to set up my tent, I thought. No vehicles, just a tent.I took a good look at the warming house, still standing after all these years. I looked at the blocks of quartzite, cut to fit, and I looked at the edges of the building and the window openings. A remarkable little building, I thought, admiring the work of the stone cutters and masons. I remembered Herman Kroger, and wondered how many skates he had laced and unlaced. I wondered how many miles he had driven on the tractor when he mowed the parks.I looked back across the skating rink, and thought about the potential for a tent-only camping area for boaters. I imagined a little dock in place for easy mooring of a canoe or kayak. I thought about how fun it would be to launch in Trent, make the trip to Dells, and then to camp there with friends and family.I thought about the value of the property, and the $40,000 estimate placed on the property's value by our city leaders.I started to question the reasons why we don't ice skate on the river anymore, and if "insurance risk" is really a logical reason to prohibit such an activity when one considers that the Big Sioux nearly froze solid this past winter. I wondered how deep the channel might be come October, and if we would be able to walk across the Rapids on the rocks as we have in many past years. I thought about the weight of a snowmobile with a 200-pound adult aboard, versus a 75-pound kid on ice skates, and wondered who might have the better chance of going through the ice in front of the warming house.I thought about the caboose in the Park, and the conversation I had with a friend regarding potential insurance risk, and the rumors about removing it. I thought about the old Orleans bridge again, and the destruction of it, one of the oldest bridges in South Dakota at the time. I remembered spearing carp from the old bridge with my friends. I remembered crossing the bridge for football practice, and looking to see who was sitting in Paul Moe's barber chair in the bank basement as we walked by.I remembered playing on the merry-go-round in the park before merry-go-rounds were extinct. I remembered when we would see if we could go all the way across the top of the amphitheater.Then I called Jay Nebben."Jay, let's put your bridge across the river down by the warming house," I said. "They already have cranes down in the Park, and plenty of rock to extend the banks so it will fit.""That would take an act of Congress," he replied, jokingly.Maybe it's not such a bad idea to sell that warming house property. You wouldn't need a road. You can get there by water (or ice). It could be a canoe rental place with camping in the summer, with ice cream and Coke sold from one of the windows of the warming house. It could be home once again to an ice skating rink in the winter, with snowmobiles on the frozen river, and coffee and hot chocolate served next to the wood stove inside. Maybe you could eventually get a permit for a floating casino, like they have in Sioux City. Once you own the property, anything would be possible if you can cut through the red tape.Then I thought about a Dell Rapids with no public access to the river, and how dismal it would be. No bike trail along the river. No fishing. No boat ramp. No morning walks as the fog hugs the water.Dell Rapids is approaching a population of 4,000. There is so much potential here, but some people just don't see it. To sell some of our publicly-owned riverfront property would be profoundly foolish – especially with a quartzite building on it. It is who we are.The value to the public of the warming house property? Priceless.

Rippon 7 Abbot 6
IMO Reynolds did every trick in the book and was underscored!
You can add Japan to the list as well. Japan was saved by Takahashi after Oda melt down and Kozuka bombed his LP.
The JFed is really lucky that Dai chose to fight through his injury and come back. I was not expecting Taka and Oda to both implode so dramatically.
Any predictions who will make the teams next year? It's obvious with Japan's team (Daisuke, Nobu, Taka) but the US and Canadian teams might not be as clear. Is Evan and Johnny coming back next season? Who would be Canada's #3? I doubt Sawyer is staying and Chipeur might be done.
Reynolds is 11th, Kozuka was 10th. Hope it was still enough, i never payed attention to pointed needed for 3. Russia will only have 1?
Yes, Russia will have only one spot. If Plushenko stays on, the young talents will be deprived the sole opportunity to grow and learn and that could have pretty negative long-term effect on Russian men skating given that Plushenko is already 28 and can't stay on that much longer.
Abbot and Rippon should be proud too, wish there was a skater like Rippon coming in Canada, not sure if anyone can come close to Chan in the next few years.
I agree, Kevin needs to leave Joanne MacLeod!!!! He has some much potential.....
Kevin seems to be developing a real personality on the ice; Shae-Lynn did a good job choreographing him, it would be good to see her working with him again. From what I've seen, he is taking steps outside of Joanne McLeod in terms of training, and he is working on his weaknesses. I could suggest a better haircut - ? But otherwise, he seems to be becoming a more real prospect as a good all-round skater.

Garcia in the right place to snap Cardinals' skid
Righty puts 2.45 home ERA on the line vs. Cincinnati's Arroyo
Cardinals left-hander Jaime Garcia returns to Busch Stadium on Tuesday against the rival Reds, ready to bring his team out of its most recent funk.
Garcia has pitched his best in St. Louis this season, holding teams to just three earned runs in 13 2/3 innings. He also has a career 2.45 ERA when pitching at home.
Those are numbers the Cardinals would like to see duplicated as they work to stop a season-long three-game losing streak, a span in which they have been outscored, 16-3.
"These guys have been going about it the right way," Redbirds manager Mike Matheny said. "You make adjustments and get ready for the next one."
Garcia pitched well in his previous start, which came on the road on Wednesday, surrendering just one run on four hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Nationals for his second win.
Meanwhile, right-hander Bronson Arroyo will be on the hill for the Reds, looking to recover after a shaky start against the Nationals on Thursday.
Although Arroyo has produced quality starts in three of his five outings, he was lit up early by Washington, giving up six runs in the first three innings. He was able to battle through six innings, but the Reds took an 8-1 loss, and he fell to 2-2 on the season, with a 4.24 ERA.
"I didn't feel super-strong out there, but I've felt like that plenty of times and had decent games," Arroyo said after the game. "They hit some balls where we weren't, and they hit some balls hard when I made some mistakes."
Against the Cardinals on April 9, Arroyo allowed four runs on five hits in six innings, taking the loss to continue his woes at Busch Stadium. In 15 career games in St. Louis, he is 3-7 with a 5.46 ERA.
Reds: Heisey lands on DL
Left fielder Chris Heisey was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Monday with a strained right hamstring, and outfielder Donald Lutz was recalled from Double-A Pensacola.
Heisey injured the hamstring on Saturday running to first base as he grounded into a double play. He's struggled this season, batting .173 with two home runs and five RBIs in 23 games.
The left-handed-hitting Lutz, 24, batted .211 with five home runs and 14 RBIs in 21 games for Pensacola and had an impressive Spring Training, batting .277 with two homers. He pinch-hit in the seventh inning of Monday's game, grounding out to second base.
"He brings a lot of energy. He has a ton of talent," manager Dusty Baker said. "He struggled some [in the Minors]. I said to him, 'It was a great opportunity. It's not like you really earned this spot.' He was the next guy on the roster that I was hoping would be doing well."
Cardinals: Maness called up
Right-hander Seth Maness was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Monday morning to help the beleaguered bullpen. To make room on the 25-man roster, left-hander Marc Rzepczynski was optioned to Triple-A Memphis.
The 24-year-old Maness went 14-4 with a 2.97 ERA last season, which he began in Class A Palm Beach and finished with Double-A Springfield. In four Triple-A starts this season (25 innings), he allowed 12 earned runs on 34 hits.
"It's quite a feeling, a rush, a lot of emotions running through you, for sure," Maness said. "I'm just happy to be here."
Worth noting
• The Reds have won all five of their home series and lost all three of their road series.
• Cardinals outfielder Carlos Beltran was held out of the lineup on Monday, as he was weak following an extended bout with a stomach illness. He pinch-hit in the eighth inning and flied out to left field.

any indication as to why arm doesn't like the LIMA driver? Do they have some problem with their gpu becomming mainstream and dominant ??
Phoronix: ARM Mali Mesa Driver, New Code & Overclocking
The Lima driver is slowly but surely progressing for supporting ARM Mali graphics hardware in an open-source world. A Mesa driver has been started, their demo code can be faster than the binary driver, user-space memory management is being tackled, and evidently the management at ARM Holdings isn't too happy...
any indication as to why arm doesn't like the LIMA driver? Do they have some problem with their gpu becomming mainstream and dominant ??
From the blog post:
He also gives his oppion on the points they make.they see no advantage in an open source driver for the Mali, and believe that the Lima driver is already revealing way too much of the internals of the Mali hardware. Plus, their stance is that if they really wanted an open source driver, they could simply open up their own codebase, and be done
So, will this driver allow running Wayland on Mali GPUs?
Why are they unhappy with open source? Obviously its because all of their customers (chinese SoC's) want to keep the crappyness of the whole thing under wraps.
I think it is not so much about hiding crappiness, but instead doing market segmentation in drivers. IOW, sell the same design to different customers and unlocking OpenCL, video decode or whatever only if they cough up the $$$ for the driver that supports it.
I don't say that they are doing it now, just that they might want to keep this as an option for later.

Law Enforcement Bulletin, Issue #14 Winter 1995 A periodic update from the Anti-Defamation League Page 6 ------ Recent defections from the Arkansas-based Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the nation's largest KKK faction, have set off a competition for the allegiances of members and potential recruits. The chief issue in the formation of two splinter groups is the Klan's tactical direction. To stem membership losses and make the Klan more palatable to a larger potential base of supporters, the Knights' leader, Thom Robb, 48, has attempted to clean up the Klan's rhetoric - "we don't hate blacks, we just love whites" - and has renounced violence. He has staged rallies around the South and the Midwest, instructing followers to leave their guns and robes at home and dress respectably. The upshot: some new recruitment, but also restiveness among hard-core members who believe Robb's watered-down tactics betray Klan traditions and purposes. Despite Robb's efforts, he is swimming against the current. The Klan has always drawn to its ranks hard-core racists who favor an extremist message and tactics, so that even cosmetic attempts at moderation are difficult to pull off. Two recently formed breakaway groups have promised a return to more traditional Klan militancy. Last April a split from the Knights was led by Chicagoan Ed Novak (true name: Ed Melkonian). Novak was Thom Robb's Illinois Grand Dragon (state leader), national Nighthawk (security chief), and a member of the Knights' Grand Council. Novak is known in the Klan as an advocate of secrecy, and of being well-armed. Novak's group - the Federation of Klans, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan - drew away a sizeable portion of Robb's followers in Illinois, Alabama, Kentucky, Colorado, and elsewhere. His group is promising less talk and more action. Novak began his extremist career in the neo-Nazi National Socialist Party of America, and his neo-Nazi beliefs have stayed with him. More recently, in August, Klan leaders from Michigan, Indiana and Illinois led a second walkout from Robb's organization, claimed the Knights' name for themselves, and pronounced Robb deposed as national director. (Robb responded by tossing them out of his Knights.) In a sign of a return to the old ways, the new faction held a rally in Lafayette, Ind., in which members dressed in full Klan regalia, showing little trace of moderation. The man tapped to lead the mutinous outfit, David Neumann, 40, of Michigan, has reportedly said: "Thom Robb is a poor example of a Klansman. He comes off as a young Republican, not as a racialist." Yet another problem facing Robb is some grousing in the ranks about the designation of his daughter, Rachel Pendergraft, to fill the seat on the Grand Council vacated when Novak bolted. (Robb's two sons also play prominent roles.) Some Knights are rankled by the nepotism, but others seem more angry over the presence of a woman in so high a position. The mutinies in the Robb organization are part of a larger pattern of disarray in the Klan movement, which is more splintered now than ever. Membership in all factions combined has slipped from approximately 10,000 in 1981 to about 4,000 today. As time passes, fewer Americans seem receptive to the Klan, making the survival of new groups such as Novak's and Neumann's uncertain. As yet, the splintering of the Knights of the KKK has not led to violence. But the strong resistance to attempts to paper over the Klan's historic reputation for militant white supremacy suggests that the Klan movement continues to warrnat the scrutiny of law enforcement.

11 jobs are part of Spaulding budget cutbacksJanuary 10,2013
By David Delcore
Staff Writer
BARRE — The cost of running Spaulding High School would climb by more than $570,000 based on the $12.3 million budget proposal that voters in Barre and Barre Town will be asked to approve in March.
Despite a hint of dissension earlier in the week, school directors unanimously adopted the spending plan, which includes an estimated $440,000 in state and federal grants, during a special meeting Wednesday night.
The budget reflects deep cuts in personnel, though not quite as deep as the ones that were questioned during Monday's board meeting when 12 positions totaling an estimated $800,000 were placed on the table by Principal Tom Sedore.
After the finance committee made some adjustments, the proposal before the board Wednesday incorporated cuts to 11 positions.
Funding for one full-time English teacher and a half-time library assistant had been restored, but a position working with students for whom English is not their first language had been newly slated for reduction to part time.
The reduction or elimination of 10 other positions — including a special educator, a secretary and a custodian — was done to blunt a sharp spending increase that is being blamed on negotiated salaries and benefits, a spike in special education expenses and a roof replacement project.
The district's business manager said most if not all of the 11 jobs are currently filled.
Excluding grants, which won't affect taxes, the budget for the high school sits at $11.86 million — up $570,000, or 3.86 percent over the $11.29 million budget that voters approved last year.
Superintendent John Bacon said the proposed budget would trigger modest increases in the school tax rates in Barre and Barre Town.
According to Bacon, the proposed budget would add an estimated 1.7 cents to the tax rate in Barre Town and 0.9 cents to the rate in Barre. He said those projections anticipate a 4-cent increase in the state education tax rate, which is expected to climb between 3 and 5 cents this year.

A couple of days before my fishin' buddy, Sean and his bride were set to go on a missions trip to Indonesia, he called me up and asked me if I wanted to squeeze in an afternoon of fly rodding for Carp at Craig Park.
Naturally, I asked him how soon he could get to my house.
On the way over to Fullerton, he regaled me with tales of the massive, hard-hitting, head-shaking fish he had battled just days before. The more he talked, the higher the probability rose that I might have actually broken a couple of traffic laws – hypothetically speaking.
Anyway, when we arrived at the park, the attendant at the entrance gate, upon spotting our rods in the back seat, eagerly informed us that some 480 pounds of catfish had been planted earlier in the week and that he had witnessed several anglers catching decent amounts of fish.
We thanked him for the info, paid the parking fee, drove down to the lake and began fishing hard with our eight-weights in anticipation of the ensuing man vs. fish battles that lie ahead.
Forty minutes later we were still fishing hard but had not managed to entice a single bite.
We each ran through several colors of wooly buggers, a couple of crawdad patterns and a few leech imitations yet we both remained fishless.
Sean, worried that I might be growing suspicious of his earlier stories, suggested…well, quite a few things that, while imaginative, proved ultimately fruitless and thus, fishless.
Finally, after an hour and a half of some serious skunking, we opted to switch out gear to the shorter, 5-weights we normally use up in the San Gabriels and attack the small stream that runs off the west end of the lake.
I switched over to a 8x tippet and a size 22 nymph and we began working the stream, determined to make the most of an incredibly beautiful afternoon.
Sean almost immediately locked into a small pool that held a surprising number of small Bluegill.
I also began to pull in tiny little 'Gills as we worked the little rivulet. After the frustrations of no fish, even these little guys were enough to change the mood and lighten the spirits.
Sure, I lost a few too many flies to the overhanging branches and sure bait-sized bluegills were not quite the same as junk-food gorged urban carp but the weather, the darting hummingbirds, the songbirds and the fact that we were catching fish all came together to make it a great way to send my buddy off on his trip to the other side of the world.
In fact, it was such a pleasant little urban fly venture that I thought about it for most of the rest of the week…that is until my other fishin' buddy, Ray texted me with a picture from his day at Santa Ana River Lakes.
Ray. You gotta watch that guy.
Turns out that he hooked onto a 23 Lb. 8 oz. trout and was now in the running for the monthly thousand-dollar prize money for the biggest fish caught at the lake.
Also turns out that he was using his skanky, little back-up pole with three-pound test on it.
However, unlike Sean, Ray's got the pictures to prove it. Check him out at the SARL.com website. Ray's the guy with a smile as blinding as his shaved head. Like I said, you gotta watch that guy. Sometimes I think God has a great sense of humor.
I love this addiction called urban fly-fishin'

French Cookie Bag
Good Morning!
Just a quick post today to share a graphic from this cute vintage French cookie bag that I found this week in the booth of one of my vendor friends at the Parkville Antique Mall.
I love the framed "Biscuits Fins" on the bag and think it would be cute printed on tags, bags or transferred to just about anything using any number of transfer methods.
(Karen @ The Graphics Fairy did an excellent post on 12 Easy Image Transfer Methods. You can find that post here. Thank you Karen for compiling all of the information).
I hope you enjoy the graphic. Let me know if you find a way to use it.
Have a great Saturday.

Endive, Served Hot

Belching is the act of bringing up air from the stomach. It produces a characteristic sound.
Belching is most often a normal process. The purpose of belching is to release air from the stomach. Every time you swallow, you also swallow air, along with fluid or food.
As the air builds up in the upper stomach, it causes stretching of the stomach that triggers the lower esophageal sphincter muscle to relax. This lets air escape up the esophagus and out the mouth.
Excessive or repeated belching may be caused by unconsciously swallowing air (aerophagia).
Depending on the cause, belching may change in duration and intensity. Symptoms such as nausea, dyspepsia, and heartburn may be relieved by belching.
You can get relief by lying on your side or in a knee-to-chest position until the gas passes.
Avoid chewing gum, eating quickly, and eating gas-producing foods and beverages.

Belching is usually a minor symptom. However, call a health care provider if the belching does not go away, or if you also have other symptoms.
Your health care provider will examine you and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, including:
Diagnostic tests will depend on the findings of the physical examination, and other signs or symptoms you have with the belching.
