Carmel-by-the-Sea, usually called simply Carmel, is a small town endowed with a rich artistic history situated on the Monterey Peninsula in Monterey County, California. In 1906, the San Francisco Call devoted a full page to the "artists, poets and writers of Carmel-by-the-Sea" and in 1910 it reported that 60 percent of Carmel's houses were built by citizens who were "devoting their lives to work connected to the aesthetic arts." Early City Councils were dominated by artists and the town has had several mayors who were poets or actors including Herbert Heron, founder of the Forest Theater, and actor-director Clint Eastwood, who was mayor for one term, from 1986 to 1988. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 4,081. When referring to this city or its attributes, the name Carmel is pronounced "car-MEL".
Carmel-by-the-Sea is permeated by Native American, early Spanish and American history (Blanks, 1965). Most scholars believe that the Esselen-speaking people were the first Native Americans to inhabit the area of Carmel, but the Ohlone people pushed them south into the mountains of Big Sur around the 6th century. The first Europeans to see this land were Spanish mariners led by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542, who sailed up the California coast without landing. Another sixty years passed before another Spanish explorer and Carmelite Friar Sebastian Vizcaino "discovered" what is now known as Carmel Valley in 1602, which he named for his patron saint, Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The Spanish did not attempt to colonize the area until 1769, when Gaspar de Portola and Franciscan Father Juan Crespi visited the area in search of a mission site. They returned one year later in 1770 to found the Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo at the southeastern edge of Carmel. The nearby colony of Monterey, established at the same time, soon became the capital of California until 1849. From the late 18th through the early 19th century, most of the Ohlone population died out from European diseases against which they had no immunity, and overwork and malnutrition at the missions where the Spanish forced them to live. In 1821, Carmel became Mexican territory when Mexico gained independence from Spain. A Scottish immigrant, John Martin, acquired lands surrounding the Carmel mission in 1833, which he named Mission Ranch. Carmel then became part of the United States in 1848, when Mexico ceded California as a result of the Mexican-American War.
Known as "Rancho Las Manzanitas", the area that was to become Carmel-by-the Sea proper was purchased by French businessman Honore Escolle in the 1850's. Escolle was well known and prosperous in the City of Monterey, owning the first commercial bakery, pottery kiln, and brickworks in Central California. In 1888, Escolle and Santiago Duckworth, a young Catholic developer from Monterey with dreams of establishing a Catholic retreat near the Carmel Mission, filed a subdivision map with the County Recorder of Monterey County. By 1889, 200 lots had been sold.
In 1902 Frank Devendorf and Frank Powers, on behalf of the Carmel Development Company, filed a new subdivision map of the core village that became Carmel; that village actually developed in 1904 and was incorporated in 1916. In 1910, the Carnegie Institution established the Coastal Laboratory, and a number of scientists moved to the area.
In 1906-07 the town's first cultural center and theatre, the Carmel Arts and Crafts Clubhouse, was built. Poets Austin and Sterling performed their works there. A theatre program was initiated and numerous plays and recitals were given. By 1913, The Arts and Crafts Club had began organizing lessons for aspiring painters, actors & craftsmen. Some of the most prominent painters in the United States, such as William Merritt Chase, Mary DeNeale Morgan and C. Chapel Judson offered six weeks of instruction for $15. The original clubhouse, along with an adjoining theatre built in 1922, burned down in 1949 after a production of "By Candlelight". The site, which has been declared historic, is now home to the Golden Bough Playhouse, built in 1951. It is owned and operated by Carmel's only professional theatre, Pacific Repertory Theatre, founded in 1983 by Carmel resident, Stephen Moorer.
In 1949 the Forest Theater Guild was incorporated, and under the leadership of Cole Weston, the 60-seat indoor Forest Theater was created. For most of the 1960s, the outdoor theater lay unused and neglected. In 1968, Marcia Hovick's Children's Experimental Theater leased the indoor theater and continues today. In 1972 the Forest Theater Guild was reactivated and continues to produce musicals, adding a film series in 1997. In 2006, the Guild presented the California community theatre premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, Cats, based on T. S. Eliot's "Old Possums Book of Practical Cats".
In 1984, Pacific Repertory Theatre began producing on the outdoor Forest Theater stage, reactivating Herbert Heron's Carmel Shakespeare Festival in 1990. In 2005, PacRep presented the facility's highest-attended production, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, to a combined audience of over 10,000 ticket holders.
In 1920, the poet-builder began his work on Hawk Tower - a retreat for his wife and sons. It was completed in less than four years, a remarkable feat since Jeffers built the tower entirely by himself. He used wooden planks and a block and tackle system to move the stones and to set them in place. Many influential literary and cultural celebrities were guests of the Jeffers family. Among them were Sinclair Lewis, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Langston Hughes, Charles Lindbergh, George Gershwin and Charlie Chaplin. Later visitors have included William Everson, Robert Bly, Czesław Miłosz and Edward Abbey.
Carmel figured in a 1926 scandal involving radio evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, who vanished for a period of time, claiming to have been abducted. Several witnesses reported having seen her in Carmel together with broadcasting colleague Kenneth Ormiston during the time she was missing, and a grocery receipt signed by McPherson was discovered in a Carmel cottage.
The Carmel Pine Cone is the town's weekly newspaper and has been published since 1915, covering local news, politics, arts, entertainment, opinions and real estate. The newspaper also has a section called The Police Log that contains almost every report of a crime in the Carmel area, often read with a quaint twist of humor by readers since the contents of the log are fairly innocuous. Veteran CBS and NBC network news producer Paul Miller became publisher in 1997. In 2005, after failing to convince city officials to rezone a potential site for the Pine Cone's operation, he moved the paper's production offices to Pacific Grove, while maintaining a reduced news staff in downtown Carmel. In 2007, the paper began offering a Adobe Acrobat (*.PDF) version of its complete newspaper on the Internet, giving readers a chance to keep up with local news online.
As of the census of 2000, there are 4,081 people, 2,285 households, and 1,108 families residing in the city. The population density is 3,753.3 people per square mile (1,445.6/km²). There are 3,334 housing units at an average density of 3,066.3/sq mi (1,181.0/km²). The racial makeup of the city is 94.58% White, 0.44% Black or African American, 0.32% Native American, 2.25% Asian, 0.15% Pacific Islander, 0.91% from other races, and 1.35% from two or more races. 2.94% of the population are Hispanic or Latino of any race.
There are 2,285 households out of which 11.6% have children under the age of 18 living with them, 40.4% are married couples living together, 5.8% have a female householder with no husband present, and 51.5% are non-families. 44.1% of households are made up of individuals and 20.1% a single person who is 65 years of age or older. Average household size is 1.79 and the average family size is 2.39.
The age distribution is as follows: 9.9% under the age of 18, 2.9% from 18 to 24, 18.3% from 25 to 44, 38.1% from 45 to 64, and 30.8% who are 65 years of age or older, with a median age of 54 years. For every 100 females there are 77.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there are 75.9 males.
The median income for a household in the city is $58,163, and the median income for a family is $81,259. Males have a median income of $52,344 versus $41,150 for females. The per capita income for the city is $48,739. 6.6% of the population and 3.6% of families are below the poverty line. Of the total population, 5.6% of those under age of 18 and 4.5% of those 65 and older are living below the poverty line.
It is not an accident that Carmel has achieved fame for its natural features, ambience and an abundance of cultural and shopping venues. The town has historically pursued a vigorous strategy of planned development to retain its character of "village in a forest" and enhance its natural coastal beauty, a moniker the early town fathers applied. Carmel was incorporated in the year 1916 and as early as 1925 the town adopted a clear vision of its future as "primarily, essentially and predominantly a residential community" (Carmel City Council, 1929). Even today the cottages and houses still have no street numbers and there is no delivery of mail to individual addresses. Instead, residents go to the centrally-located post office to receive their mail.
Planning has consistently recognized the importance of preserving the character of these major sociocultural and public facilities:
Carmel-by-the-Sea is situated in a moderate seismic risk zone, the principal threats being the San Andreas Fault, which is approximately ten miles northwest as it traverses Monterey Bay, and the Palo Colorado Fault which traces offshore through the Pacific Ocean several miles away. More minor potentially active faults nearby are the Church Creek Fault and the San Francisquito Fault (Spangle, 1975).
Schools serving Carmel-by-the-Sea include Carmel High School, Carmel Middle School, and Carmel River Elementary School

Email question from a student Part 2
4 comments:
Sorry Jim, only half true. The final output of the logic you have depicted detects 1-1-1 OR any one of the other 7 combinations, NOT just 0-0-0. You got very close to realising that in your final paragraph but didn't quite make the leap of logic.(Sorry, bad pun)
If our young friend only needs to detect one of the logic combinations then using the logic blocks is the way to go. The original solution requires a lot of code duplication. Unfortunately it would take a good deal of space to display the logic set needed for each outcome so I'll leave that to you if you are interested.
- Jun 8, 2007, 6:59:00 AM
- Alex said...
Well, detecting e.g. 0-0-1 is the same as (not 1) and (not 1) and 1, which would work identically to all one-s after the corresponding not-s are taken.
- Jun 8, 2007, 7:06:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
I'm not sure I'm following you, Noel... maybe I did make a mistake, but the last Switch block can only be true IF the first Logic block sends a 1 paired with the last sensor's 1... so that makes 1 - 1 - 1. Any other pair will send the program to the False path on the Switch block... or am I not understanding your comment?
I think I did make a mistake in my text stating that the program would detect all True or all False when I should have just said True or False.
- Jun 8, 2007, 7:21:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
I'm editing the original post to correct my mistake... thanks for pointing it out. Easy enough...

Striped Fuzzy & Ribbed Leg Warmers is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by lilyh5581 from So Adorable These leg warmers are so cute! I had a slight issue of them not wanting to stay up on my bare legs, but when i added my leggings, they stayed up just fine. I play on a kickball league and in the middle of winter, it gets to be pretty chilly outside. These cute warmers is just what I needed!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mog from Loose, soft leg warmers These tubes of warmth are too loose to wear on bare legs. Worn over tights / leggings they stay up fine and look great. I bought two pairs, so I could wear them over a long-sleeved tshirt as arm warmer with a very stripey costume. :)

Rated 4 out of 5 by cfee from Nice but... These look great and are warm, but they only stay up if you have them on over other socks or leggings. On bare legs they quick turn into ankle warmers.
Date published: 2013-11-05
are these thigh high socks,or over-the-knee socks?
These are knee high legwarmers, you can see best how high they are in the image for the Camel (http://www.sockdreams.com/products/striped-fuzzy-ribbed-leg-warmers:9320). We do have some thigh high and over the knee leg warmer styles, with the Super Long Ribbed Leg Warmer (http://www.sockdreams.com/products/super-long-ribbed-leg-warmers), the Long Cuffable Scrunchable Leg Warmers (http://www.sockdreams.com/products/long-cuffable-scrunchable-leg-warmers) and the Super Warmers Long (http://www.sockdreams.com/products/super-warmers-long) being your best bet for taller styles.

I have looked far and wide on both Google and Bing for any information that I could find about this, but have been unsuccessful. To put it simple, I cannot get my Lumia 920 to resolve any hostnames on internal networks. Using VNC or RDP apps, I cannot connect at all with hostnames. Using IP addresses will work, however. Other devices on the network are not affected by this; my iPhone, iPad, Macs, and Windows machines can all see and connect to each other properly within the network via hostname. I thought it might be something odd with my connection at home, but I also have the same problem on my network at work.
Does anyone have any advice at all on this matter?

Monolingual is a program for removing unnecessary language resources from Mac OS X.

Monolingual seems to be broken for Mavericks. It worked great on my older Mac Pro work computer which is on Lion, but I get the same "Monolingual is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the trash" error message on my personal Macbook Pro running Mavericks. It deleted 1.5GB of unneeded crap off of my work computer, and I need the space here. Please fix!
There are no instructions for this app. On 10.9.2 with version 1.5.10, I get an error message when I click on the icon: "'Monolingual' is damaged and cannot be opened. You should eject the disk image."
GateKeeper prevents v1.5.10 from luanching, saying it's "damaged". Seems to be an issue with the codesign, which tests valid for me, but won't get by GateKeeper. Updates using the Sparkle framework work fine.
Hi, I have an iMac OSX Intel 10.9.2 and my Monolingual version (1.5.10) doesn't work. I choose the languages I want to eliminate, press "delete" and nothing happens. ¿May somebody help me? Thanks, regards and good life,
Latest version doesn't seem to work well when trying to remove architectures from executables, version 1.5.6 on Mavericks 10.9.1 b3 seems to come to a stop when removing the first instance of an executable with more architectures, does not progress farther. I will try a former version, and otherwise I will do it manually with terminal.

Cation- interaction is a noncovalent molecular interaction between the face of an electron-rich system (e.g. benzene, ethylene) with an adjacent cation (e.g. Li+, Na+). This unusual interaction is an example of noncovalent bonding between a monopole (cation) and a quadrupole ( system). Cation- interaction energies are of the same order of magnitude as hydrogen bonds or salt bridges and play an important role in molecular recognition.

E-blocks can be snapped together to form a wide variety of systems that can be used for teaching/learning electronics and for the rapid prototyping of complex electronic systems.
The BlueBoard features NXP's ARM7TDMI LPC2148 with 512 KB internal flash and 32+8K RAM. It's a ready-to-run development platform with code snippets to demonstrate applications for every feature supported on the board.
The HP 20b features a 30 MHz Atmel, low power AT91SAM7L128 ARM7 System on chip processor, a bootloader, and a JTAG interface to allow user applications to be written and downloaded to the device. HP has also released an official development kit for the HP 20b that is designed for developers who want to re-purpose the HP 20b and reuse the platform for other purposes.
ARM is aware of many other educational platforms available from third parties, and while we cannot endorse or recommend any particular products, we will pass along information as it becomes available. Please note that none of the products offered through these companies are available from ARM, and we make no claim as to their availability or price.
A separate, compatible debug adapter is sometimes needed for development with ARM-based platforms. However, more ARM-based platforms are being made available with integrated, on-board debugging capabilities eliminating the need for such external hardware.
Some platforms have real-time data access and instruction trace capability for systems that that must be debugged in real-time without stopping the system and a physical trace interface will likely be needed for this purpose.
These interfaces can be purchased directly from ARM (an ARM company), or through a variety of ARM partners and distributors.
Low-cost debug adapters are also available for purchase from third-party companies such as Olimex, as well as a variety of others.
Be sure to check the compatibility between your boards, software tools, and debug adapter.

Audi has released a few sketches of its upcoming MkIII TT. Headline news? To quote The Matrix, it's "evolution, Morpheus, evolution..."
First sketches of the new Audi TT
Third generation of Audi's baby sportscar to be revealed at Geneva. Here's what it'll look like
We're told this new Audi TT will 'reinterpret the ideas' of the first TT, a car that was a real milestone in Audi design. Hell, of car design as a whole.
What are we looking at then? The front of the car is said to have 'dominant horizontals' that give it a powerful stance, while the four rings logo now sits on the bonnet - just like the R8 supercar - where a pair of contours also form a sort of V-pattern.
The wheel arches are wider, too, there's a kink in the C-pillar, and horizontal lines at the back continue the wide, sporty stance. Audi will fit two large, round exhaust pipes in the diffuser on all TTs, but the TTS will get four pipes.
As we showed you before, the interior looks superb, all floating lines and aircraft inspiration, with that central digital display offering up 3D graphics on a TFT monitor. The classic TT air nozzles seen on the first-gen car now resemble jet engines, with the air-con, seat heating, temperature, direction and airflow strength controls all located in the vents and axes.
The TT's underpinnings are all brand new, too, in the shape of the VW Group's MQB architecture. If the other applications of this flexible platform are anything to go by, it should be a decent drive. Expect variants of that 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine and of course, the lovely 2.5-litre five-pot turbo in the RS to follow.

Well that's what discussions about religion tend to do. Once you start questioning the things people believe in and see that there's no logic there, it's awfully difficult not to point it out. When someone insists that the world is only 6000 years old despite all the evidence to the contrary and when someone then dismisses the evidence because of a book of dubious authorage (if there is such a word), that contradicts itself frequently, it is very hard to say: 'I respect your beliefs' and actually mean it.snowballs wrote:

Andrea wears a Fitbit. She began taking it seriously when our son Sam became her online coach and cheerleader and started tracking her progress through the Fitbit app. Once she discovered that she could set goals and earn badges for "step milestones" she got really into it. She's walking more now, she keeps track of how much exercise she's getting, and she feels great about it—because she's connected to Sam and because staying fit has become somewhat of a game for her.
And then there's the example of Foldit–the "solve puzzles for science" crowdsourcing experiment that encourages gamers to play a game of folding proteins with the larger goal of making scientific advances. Just like other online games, Foldit includes various game mechanics—such as leaderboards–to reward and motivate players.
With this new gamification movement afoot, I've been thinking a lot about what this means for the toy and game industry. One would think that this would be a revolution of sorts in the industry. People are finally viewing games as having some higher purpose. They can help you to reach a goal, make you smarter, a better friend or citizen or keep you on track with your exercise routine or diet.
I am not seeing as much as I would expect to from our industry. What is your perspective? I welcome your thoughts and I would love to learn more about what's actually out there.
Please share any examples of creative and successful Gamification style programs that are being used for kids. Just "reply" to this post, give a short description of the program and include a link so that everyone can find it for themselves. With a little luck we'll end up with a long string of creative ideas that leads to a bigger conversation.
Take a peek at some of the examples we've already collected here.

District 5 Supervisor Joe Williams' opinion on economic development is simple: Build the infrastructure, and housing development will come.
Both Williams and District 2 Supervisor Orlando Trainer say they are hopeful the Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors will continue discussions toward obtaining funding streams to support county development projects during the group's 10 a.m. Monday meeting at the county courthouse.
Currently, Oktibbeha roads are at their most important time of need, Williams said, and the lion's share of construction can be completed in a timely manner if the board finds a creative way to acquire funding.
"You've got people out in the county waiting for almost 50 years for a paved road, while some people have to go drive through standing water just because we don't have the money to take care of flooded areas. It's definitely a quality of life issue and an economic development issue," Williams said. "Once we pave these roads out in the county, people are going to want to move out there. The best economic developments, in my opinion, are housing and quality of life development. If we provide the infrastructure, people are going to move here, shop, buy groceries, spend their money and raise their children.
To fund these infrastructure and quality of life projects, Trainer said the board could investigate issuing bonds in the same manner as Lauderdale County. In a draft for a $10 million general obligation bond for Lauderdale County provided by Trainer, the county uses language to specify funding for road, highway and bridge construction, materials, right-of-way acquisitions, equipment, repairs and improvements to county buildings, recreational facilities, parks and related facilities.
Trainer said Oktibbeha County could seek a bond for $9.5 million over 12 years at 3.25 percent interest to fund its own projects. No formal action has been taken by the board to secure such a bond. The bond's impact, Trainer said, is approximately 3 mills, but the county budget could be reorganized to lower the need for a millage hike or possibly negate the need all together.
"Lauderdale (County) does this type of issuance regularly at the beginning of each board term. The county has it set up so a bond is typically rolling off at that point, creating a level, known need," Trainer said. "A possible issuance over 12 years would allow us to do a variety of things. We can use a lot of the money for infrastructure projects which we could see at least an eight- to 10-year life expectancy."
By wording the possible bond with language similar to Lauderdale County's, both Trainer and Williams say it will grant supervisors flexibility for district-specific projects a simple road bond would not allow.
"Some supervisors do not have as many rock roads as some districts have. Each district is different," Williams said. "District 5 might have a need for other projects. For example, some of the citizens in my district have asked for a community center. (Flexible language) allows us to look at what our needs are in each district and what our citizens want."
As for funding bond payments, Trainer said budget reallocations are possible. If issued, a mixture of reallocations could offset the need for a full 3-mill hike. Supervisors can also shuffle funding as smaller notes roll off the county books, he said.
"We've got the capacity to do some things outside of the box by acquiring funding through our existing cash flow. We can look at our overall budget and consider everything besides employees' salaries because the option of laying off county employees is not on the table," Trainer said. "With reorganizing money, you're not robbing Peter to pay Paul. You're actually moving money around. If we have our road funding through a bond issue, we can take the money we typically set aside for materials and projects each year and use that to help make payments."
Trainer said current interest rates are lower than when the board last tried to issue a bond of this nature.
"I've already talked to our financial advisors. The first time we tried something like this the interest rate was approximately 4.5 percent in 2009 for various amounts," he said. "The market is very good right now; it gives us a great opportunity to really tackle our road plan."
Issuing a notice of intent to seek a bond issue, Trainer said, is the county's first step toward beginning the process and will also provide feedback from taxpayers.
"A notice alerts the public to our intentions and allows us to gauge interest. I want the opportunity to show the taxpayers all of our options," Trainer said. "We're hopefully going to talk about this issue (Monday) and see if we can get supervisors to decide the first step we need to take."

Supporting creation
Le Cube supports projects led by professional artists. In particular, it specialises in "real-time" technologies: virtual reality, motion capture, generative and behavioural systems, etc.
Every branch of the arts is featured, including the visual arts, performing arts, cinema, literature and music.
Le Cube is involved, for instance, in digital creation at its various levels: from the artist's approach to technical experimentation, from prospective thinking to project completion, from production to dissemination.
Le Cube supports artists in the creation of their works. For its Creation Workshop, it has developed a technical hub which includes video game (real-time systems and artificial intelligence), mobility and network technologies. It provides artists with an opportunity to explore new forms of digital expression, particularly in the field of behavioural works, i.e. "Living Art".
Le Cube leads dissemination initiatives, exploring new ways of relating to the public, participative uses of digital technology, as well as representation and interaction systems.
It contributes to the dissemination of works – supported by or produced in the Creation Workshop – through programming advice and operational support. This activity is also carried out at an international level.
(See "International initiatives")
The Arcane programme comprises a range of talks & discussions, conferences, seminars and training courses, catering for professionals and artists.
(See "Arcane")
How to take part in the Creation Workshop
For access to the Workshop, a project first has to be submitted. A discussion with the artist helps determine whether the project is feasible and what grant should be allocated.
Artists who need to get a clearer picture of the branch of creation focused on in the Workshop are advised to start by attending the Living Art introductory seminar, which is part of the Arcane programme.
(See "Living Art seminar")
How the Workshop supports creation
Depending on the content of the project and how many people the Workshop can cater for, two kinds of support are available :
Le Cube and the artist co-produce the project, each injecting the funds they have at their disposal. Le Cube provides its technical hub and staff for the purposes of artistic support, computer-assisted development and production supervision, as well as its "interaction set" for the purposes of scenography research.
A co-production agreement is drawn up between the artist and Le Cube.
If the project requires help in a specific area only – e.g. using the "interaction set" for staging research – this support can come in the shape of a partnership.
The Workshop is equipped with:
- 5 PC workstations, for real-time systems development - 3Dvia Virtools software
- 1 Macintosh multimedia station, Final Cut Pro HD
- Optical sensors: standard webcam and infrared camera
- Interaction set: video projection room, sound broadcasting (stereo or 5+1)
The Workshop operates in partnership with universities, research centres and cultural centres, in France and abroad.
Le Cube's official partner, Dassault Systems, has provided the Creation Workshop with the event-driven integration software it has developed, 3DVia Virtools (video game engine).

As a result, when the Greenville, South Carolina, resident started getting into road racing in 2004, she naturally preferred to pedal on open roads, and against the clock, rather than to race in tight, fast elbow-to-elbow packs. "I thought my strength was endurance riding," she says. Problem was, most races on the local calendar were criteriums, the high-speed, short-course events that reward surges and sudden moves instead of the ability to pedal long distances. In fact, James found the herky-jerky pacing so alien that she was tempted to avoid the races altogether. "There was a big fear factor involved," admits James, now 37. "I lacked confidence." But James soon realized that if she wanted opportunities to race—and to be competitive—she had to learn to excel in crits. So three years ago, she started working with Dan Shelby, a certified coach and exercise physiologist at The Edge Endurance Training Center in Greenville.
Shelby was undoubtedly qualified to help a rider face down self-imposed limitations. When he was in college in the early 1980s, he says, he considered himself "hopelessly inept" at sprinting. At a spindly 5-foot-11 and 135 pounds, he was made for going uphill. Then he started riding with the best masters field sprinter in his area. "We'd do 30 to 50 sprints a week, every town-limit sign, every short climb. It was crazy, but I got faster and smarter," Shelby says. He didn't often win these contests, but he transformed himself into a competent sprinter by increasing his top-end fitness and learning to hold a faster wheel to the finish, skills that helped him earn some seconds and thirds in races.
James and Shelby discovered something that's likely true for you, too: It's possible to turn yourself into a different kind of cyclist—one who excels at the kinds of things you once thought were limitations. And it doesn't matter whether you aspire to fill a display case with trophies or simply want to enjoy the mental satisfaction of having conquered a weakness: Once you learn how to assess your skills and abilities—and how your body responds to training—you'll be well on your way down the road to reinvention.
Limits You Can Push
In one sense, human beings are like cars: Some are built to go faster than others. At the elite level, there are the Corvettes and the Porsches, specially designed to push high speeds. But most of us are more like a Honda Civic or a Ford Taurus—not the world's fastest or most versatile, but capable enough to handle most rides.
While there are limits to the body you were born with, you have a much wider range of potential than you might think, says exercise physiologist Jonathan Dugas, coauthor of the Science of Sport blog and director of clinical development at the Vitality Group, a wellness company in Chicago. And you don't have to be blessed with the physique of a Schleck brother or the lungs of Thor Hushovd to tap into it. Unless you've been training scientifically at a peak level for years, it's unlikely you've hit your genetic potential, Dugas says.

Michael Bisping vs. Alan Belcher Slated For UFC 159 Co-Headliner
Yea I definitely called this match up after Bisping lost to Vitor. Both he and Belcher were in that #1 contender category at middleweight. I really can't call this fight. Makes sense and should be a good one. Kudos.A middleweight tilt between division standouts Michael Bisping (23-5) and Alan Belcher (18-7) will co-headline April's UFC 159.
ESPN.com confirmed the booking with UFC officials on Wednesday.
UFC 159 takes place on April 27 at Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center and airs live on pay-per-view. In the main event, reigning light heavyweight champ Jon Jones will look to defend his crown against ex-middleweight title contender Chael Sonnen. Additional bouts include Roy Nelson taking on Cheick Kongo, Vinny Magalhaes locking horns with Phil Davis, and Jim Miller facing Pat Healy.
Bisping recently had his dreams of a title shot cut short — at least for now — after suffering a vicious knockout to Vitor Belfort earlier this month. The British standout had won five of his last six prior to the loss, including victories over Brian Stann and Jason "Mayhem" Miller.
Belcher too will look to get back on the winning track after coming up short on points to Yushin Okami last month. The defeat snapped a four-fight win streak for "The Talent", which included stoppages of Patrick Cote, Jason MacDonald and Rousimar Palhares.

ESSENTIALS & MIDLAYERS : Winter must-haves
Suitable for all disciplines and all weathers, Rossignol goggles are light, technical and comfortable. Associated to Zeiss screens, they offer a protection and an unequalled optical quality.
New regulations issued by the FIS have inspired our racing department engineers and World Cup athletes to push ski technology further than ever before. Steering a 195 cm ski with a 35 m radius is anything but easy and led our engineers to develop a new technology to address this problem: "Prop Tech". Milled titanal layers in our HERO skis combine with early rise rocker to deliver faster turns and higher performance in all disciplines. This innovation carries from our FIS skis to our Elite series, delivering podium-inspired performance to every skier.

This past weekend I volunteered as a judge in the New Jersey Regional FIRST Robotics Tournament. Sixty one teams competed, coming from as far away as Brazil. The competition was played in three-team alliances, alliances playing against each other to shoot soccer balls through goals with some significant wrinkles thrown in. The tournament lasts two full days. Team objectives are to win the tournament and go on to the national championship, and also to compete for more than a dozen FIRST awards celebrating both technical achievement and team attributes. These are presented at closing ceremonies each day.
The game rules this year were more different from past years than normal, which meant that veteran teams had to change their robots more, to make more fundamental design decisions, than what they were accustomed to. Early rumors from the practice field were that teams were struggling, that a lot of things weren't working… and the first matches were indeed low scoring without much action. Some of us wondered whether the changes had gone too far, if and how the players could adapt during the course of competition.
These issues hit the judges square on during our Saturday working lunch, when we caucused about that day's engineering quality awards. What to do with well designed machines that met most of the criteria for an award, but that hadn't worked on the field? Would they be performing by day's end or not?
We needn't have worried. Teams scouted the field to learn best practices, shared information, worked together, analyzed and adapted, and the quality of play went through the roof. In the end the judges struggled this year with too much excellence, we had more teams deserving awards than we had awards to give.
We had grand debates as well. Should the Entrepreneurship Award go to the young team with the big vision, the experienced team that was rededicating itself to greater service or the team whose written business plan most clearly articulated their plan? Should the Quality award go to the simple machine that performed at outstanding levels, the more versatile robot that had mastered several game skills or the robot that had outstanding machine quality features but was average on pit quality & team integration?
In the end it was an outstanding experience all around. If you want to discover the best of young America, get to know more about FIRST!

Corvettes represent much more than transportation to their owners. It's not about getting from Point A to Point B as much as it is about the fun in getting there. Because of the excitement and the memories of driving their cars, many Corvette enthusiasts hang on to their Vettes for decades, restoring or refurbishing them along the way. Some owners, like Ron Emmons, take a different route.
Ron and his girlfriend (now Mrs. Emmons) purchased a '64 Corvette back in 1991. "She loaned me some of the money to buy the car," he says, "later realizing any engagement prospects were gone, as I was now broke. I'm sure glad she loved the car. We used it for our wedding getaway!"
The Vette was in good condition, and being a non-matching-numbers car, it was perfect for a daily driver. The Emmonses also discovered that it was a very early-production example. "It was manufactured on the third day of 1964 production," Ron says. "It's Number 232 [from September 6, 1963]; therefore, it has some '63 parts like rockers, gauges, glovebox, gas cap, etc."
Along with trips to the office and the grocery store, the couple took the car on excursions to Key West and the Smoky Mountains, with diving gear and camping equipment strapped on the back. Through the years, they maintained the '64 with thoughts of one day doing a total restoration. "When the frame broke in half while driving on I-75," Ron says, "we knew it was time to start the restoration process."
Ron had debated selling the Vette, but ultimately chose not to. "With 16 years of memories, and both of us loving midyears," he says, "it was the perfect opportunity to build a resto-rod."
Ron located the late Craig Anderson, owner of Southeast Frame in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to replace the frame. "Craig was an accomplished machinist," Ron says, "and had a background in racing." The result was a one-off box frame loaded with custom tricks. Anderson modified the front shock towers with adjustable jack bolts and fabricated adjustable shock mounts for the rear. He then TIG-welded and powdercoated the frame itself.
The stock suspension was scrapped in favor of the underpinnings from a '96 Corvette. The transverse leaf springs were replaced with QA1 coilovers, and Vette Brakes & Products supplied a set of its Smart Struts and trailing arms. To quicken the Vette's response, a 12:1 ratio Appleton rack-and-pinion steering box was installed. Out back, a Dana 44 rear was bolted into the IRS with a set of 3.73 gears.
Ron worked with Max Carr, an accomplished machinist and metal fabricator, to construct a variety of special components during the course of the project. For example, when Ron wanted to install C6 Z06 front and rear brakes, he and Carr had to fabricate frame adaptors. The rear-brake mounting required a mock-up, followed by computer-aided design and then CNC fabrication from an aluminum block. The differential-support bracket and the lower shock mounts for the QA1 coilovers were also custom made by Carr.
In conjunction with the big Z06 brakes, Ron installed a Hydratech hydraulic brake-assist system with a Wilwood dual master cylinder. Smitten with the look of the stock Z06 wheels, he chose to mount 18x9.5-inch fronts all the way around. They were shod with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s-245/40ZR18 in the front and 275/40ZR18 in the rear. Ride-height considerations mean the tires tuck deep into the wheelwells, with more than adequate room for clearance.
Like any finely built custom, there's a considerable amount of detail work hidden beneath the body and out of view. Ron wanted a stainless-steel fuel tank with an internal pump and built-in baffles, for example. That required him to design and build an 1/8-inch plywood mockup for test fittings. It was placed low on the frame, and the tank bottom followed the rear-panel contours. Once satisfied, Ron noted the dimensions, and a stainless tank was fabricated.
