And by doesn't go very well, we mean Ballard goes down in a heap at about the 10-yard mark, as well as crashing into a tripod, while the eyes of a ton of NFL coaches and scouts were focused squarely on the Mississippi State running back. On the bright side, at least he stood out as the only guy to fall during his 40-year dash. That's gotta account for something, right?
Personally, I think he just lost his footing, but I am sure there are those out there who will think the pressure got to him. One thing I think we can all agree on is that his mishap was pretty funny, even if it was more than likely a very embarrassing moment for Ballard, and one he'd just as soon forget.
Eventually Ballard did make it all the full 40-yards, clocking in with a time of 4.63, which isn't a great time as far as running backs go. But it's infinitely better than falling flat on your face after 10-yards in front of a bunch of strangers.

» Ireland? Again?? Yes!
Ireland? Again?? Yes!
County Kerry
August 11th 2010
Published: August 11th 2010
Occasionally, my non-traveling friends are less than enthused (okay, bored) to hear that I am
planning yet another trip to the Emerald Isle. Their response is often something like "What can you
possibly need to see there that you haven't already seen?" As I have made more than a dozen trips
there over the past several years, I suppose I can see their point.
I return to Ireland time and time again, not just for the sights, which truly are spectacular,
but for the sounds- the beat of the bodhran (Irish drum) in an impromptu pub session, the good morning moo from
a neighboring field to my cow-view room in a B&B, the colorful lilt of the Irish brogue, along with the many other
sensations such as a softness in the air that I have felt nowhere else.
Perhaps if I list just a few of those experiences, the skeptics will begin to understand.
If not, I'll entertain myself recalling some very happy times.
1. Irish kindness and courtesy
En route from Shannon to Galway, in the pouring rain, a young man tapped on my
car window. Hesitantly (I would never do this at home) I cracked the window, to be
advised by the gentleman "Your rear tire is going flat. If you pull over, I'll change it
for you." We did just that, and , whistling all the while, the kind soul quickly changed
tire, becoming more and more drenched in the process. I tried to offer him some money
for his trouble, but he just laughed, told us to enjoy our travels, and jogged off in the rain.
On another occasion, we witnessed a man running across the street towards us with
great purpose. His mission? To comment to us on "what a fine, fresh day" it was.
2. Irish traffic jams
Living near a big city, I am no stranger to driving delays due to congestion,
bad weather, or construction. However, in Ireland I have often been delayed
by a passing herd of cows or sheep. It is far too entertaining to find annoying,
especially if the roadblock is really mooing up a storm.
Another note on driving in the Irish countryside- it took me a while to realize
that passing drivers or pedestrians were not mistaking me for someone else
when they gave a friendly wave as I passed by. They do it to one and all, and
I have come to really enjoy this greeting.
3. Irish breakfast
Oh, the oatmeal! Hearty and rib-sticking, it will warm your innards on the coldest of
mornings. We were once served a bowl by a former housekeeper of Peter O'Toole.
How's that for a brush with fame? And there are some interesting variations. A friend
once ordered the house special oatmeal. It was served ceremoniously on a silver tray
accompanied by a shot of Drambuie to pour over it.
I am also particularly fond of the Irish brown bread, grainy, always fresh and with
a nice chew to it. It's even better when slathered with their sweet, creamy butter.
This must be accompanied by many cups of Irish tea, unique and delicious. My suitcase
is always stuffed with as many boxes as I can carry home.
The best place to enjoy such a feast, in my opinion, is the dining room at the
Lake Hotel in Killarney. There is an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows which overlook
a picturesque lake with a craggy mountain backdrop. As I usually travel in the
off-season, the weather can be a bit damp, which adds a misty air of mystery to the scene.
The real spectacle, however, is the Kerry red deer who come in from the neighboring
Killarney National Park to graze on the lawn directly in front of the windows. In season,
the males can be seen butting heads in competition for a female's affection.
Breakfast can sometimes stretch into a couple of hours with such a sport to enjoy watching.
4. Irish pubs
This subject really merits its own blog. The pub is an integral part of the Irish
culture. Even if one is a teetotaler, no trip is complete without spending time
in at least a few. This should in no way be looked upon as seedy or sad.
I have on various occasions met several generations of a family, from grandparents to children.
It is certainly not a waste of time; I have learned the finer points of rugby from
two very handsome young men who, had they been American would have been highly
unlikely to spend hours chatting with two middle-aged women. I have learned the procedure for
farmers getting their wares from farm to market, heard many an impassioned political point of view,
and chatted with marine biologists studying the behavior of the local trout.
Not to be forgotten is the Irish bartender. They will provide wonderful company if you
happen to arrive in the pub during a lull in activity. Usually locals, and very knowledgeable
about the location, they can suggest interesting things to see which might not appear
in guidebooks. They can introduce you to other patrons or introduce you to a new
drink. They hear all the good jokes and will coach you on the best way to tell it.
They are your friend; we still keep in touch.
5. Irish music
Traditional Irish music can raise the roof with its joyful spirit or bring you
to tears with its tales of loss and longing. I've seen as many as eight or nine
musicians crammed into a pub corner, arriving and leaving at various times to
join the session. They all know an impossible number of tunes and are impressive
with their skill at executing some very intricate melodies. This includes a very
elderly and well-dressed gentleman I witnessed approach a group of musicians and solemnly
remove a set of spoons from his suit pocket to tap along with every song.
I have seen a big, burly farmer, boots covered in mud, break into a ballad
and sound like an angel.
Musicians, though wonderful, are not entirely necessary to enjoy a night
of music in a pub. I refer to my peak pub experience, the sing-song.
Here's how it works: a group of patrons are gathered as always, telling
stories and having a laugh. At some point there is a lull in the conversation.
One person simply starts singing. Far from rolling their eyes and gesturing
that the person has had a bit too much to drink, the others all join in.
As they have done this all of their lives, they are completely uninhibited about
it, and they all sing beautifully. I don't know how this is possible; at least
half the people I know can't carry a tune in a bucket. Not only do the Irish
sing well, they know all the words to several verses of dozens of songs.
I've learned many a song this way.
At the risk of this turning from a blog into a book, I'll end with these
five key points. They are just the tip of the iceberg. If I have my way,
there will be many more visits to write about in my future.

Smoking, the statement suggests, will direct their actions, defile their bodies and "cost them" a great deal.
c.1400, "to desecrate, profane;" mid-15c., "to make foul or dirty," alteration of earlier defoulen, from Old French defouler "trample down, violate," also "ill-treat, dishonor," from de- "down" (see de-) + foler "to tread," from Latin fullo "person who cleans and thickens cloth by stamping on it" (see foil (v.)).
The alteration (or re-formation) in English is from influence of Middle English filen (v.) "to render foul; make unclean or impure," literal and figurative, from Old English fylen (trans.), related to Old English fulian (intrans.) "to become foul, rot," from the source of foul (adj.). Cf. befoul, which also had a parallel form befilen. Related: Defiled; defiling.
"narrow passage," 1640s, especially in a military sense, "a narrow passage down which troops can march only in single file," from French défilé, noun use of past participle of défiler "march by files" (17c.), from de- "off" (see de-) + file "row," from Latin filum "thread" (see file (v.)). The verb in this sense is 1705, from French défiler.

What we saw on the tour was good, the highlight being Cartagena and Tayrona National Park. However, some improvements could be made, as follows: 1. There should be an option to fly from Bogota to Medellin. We were stuck on an extremely winding 12

Is your business looking to expand to Brazil? Brazil's resilient and thriving economy and growing population present opportunities for UK businesses.
Moreover, with Rio's hosting of the World Cup in 2014 and eminent hosting of the Olympic Games in 2016, there are plans for extensive infrastructure improvements. These will have a lasting effect on the country and are something that external investors will be able to capitalise on.
Nevertheless, entry into Brazil is unlikely to be problem free. Brazil's infrastructure has been underfunded for years and the boom-bust cycle with high inflation and high interest rates makes planning ahead a complicated process.
Whether choosing a location, selecting acquisition targets and business partners, devising a market entry strategy or identifying specific business risks, KPMG has a dedicated team to assist you investing in Brazil.
Our Brazil High Growth Market practice consists of seasoned professionals who have worked in Brazil and who have a detailed understanding of what it takes to succeed in this market. We work closely with KPMG in Brazil to ensure that the right people and skill set are brought together to help you.

Brazil is the economic powerhouse of South America and so it is no surprise that cross border investment between Britain and Brazil is on the rise. The positive long-term prospects of the Brazilian economy, combined with the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, is resulting in an increasing number of British firms setting up a footprint in this country.
Hear Eduardo Navarro, Head of the Brazil High Growth Market, KPMG in the UK, talk about what it takes to win in Brazil.
Federal Resolution 13, published on 26 April 2012 and in force as of 1 January 2013, unifies the Brazilian State VAT (ICMS) interstate rate applicable for imported goods, when those goods are part of interstate transactions. Currently, there are various rates applicable on interstate transactions.
Even though the legality and constitutionally of such ICMS import incentives have been discussed by Brazilian judicial courts for many years, the unified ICMS rate of 4 percent will harmonize the current harmful scenario of tax competition.
Watch the compelling new KPMG film on High Growth Markets to gain further insight and hear from our clients and our people on what it takes to succeed in this exciting economy
International Strategy and internationalization means different things to different businesses - from exporting goods, to manufacturing goods for import; from supply chain management, to supplying booming consumer markets in High Growth Markets; from tax structuring to structuring transactions. There is no one-size-fits-all strategy which comes with the guarantee of success.
Africa's potential has long been a subject of speculation, with its billion, mainly young citizens and rich natural resources. This issue discusses why the continent has yet to fulfill its promise, and argues that only through manufacturing can economies build a sustainable base for long-term affluence.

Briefly: Best Of E3 2013, Winter Weight-Loss, Get A Free Daily Hot Chocolate From 7-11
E3 Battleground: Xbox One Vs. PlayStation 4
The Electronic Entertainment Expo (AKA E3) is the single biggest event on the gaming calendar. Not unrelatedly, Microsoft and Sony both chose to unveil fresh details about their Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles at today's E3, including pricing, release dates and some all-new game announcements. Here's an overview of what we now know, along with the console we think came out on top…
Lifehacker 101: Ultra HD TVs
4K TV, or 'Ultra HD' is the new buzzword being spouted by television manufacturers as they smartly side-step the Hindenburg-sized catastrophe that was 3D TV. If you listen to the hype, the next-generation of televisions are an industry-changing revolution that will make your 1080p displays look like an oil-stained nickelodeon canvas from 1915. (They said the same thing about 3D but this time they really mean it. Honest.)
WIN! Trade In Your Old Tech For An Awesome VAIO Duo 11 From Sony!
OK guys, it's time to dust of your old laptops, Blackberrys and gadgets. The guys at Gizmodo have teamed up with Sony Australia and Intel Australia to give away almost $6000 worth of VAIO Duo 11 hybrid tablet / Ultrabooks in prizes. Entering is easy…just send us a photo of some old technology you have lying around to get started! Here's how to enter.

Sony's Bravia 4K TV Could Easily Turn Me Into A Resolution Whore
Regular readers will now that I'm rarely blown away by big screens or high-definition content. But having been to the first Australian demonstration of Sony's massive 84-inch 4K television, I might just become a convert. This screen is ridiculously good looking when displaying high-resolution media.
Wi-Fi Ready... Not! Sony, Samsung And LG Get Wrist Slapping From ACCC
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission yesterday announced that five TV manufacturers — Samsung, Sharp, LG, Sony and Panasonic — had failed to make clear in their advertising the need for a separate adaptor to use the Wi-Fi features on TVs boasting the "Wi-Fi Ready" branding. As a result, the companies must now remove the branding, or make it clear that an extra purchase is necessary.
Dealhacker: Two $30 PlayStation Network Cards For $50 At Dick Smith
Until July 16, Dick Smith stores have a pair of $30 PlayStation Network cards for $50 (a 16.6% saving). Not a bad deal if you're a dedicated gamer (or want to stockpile emergency gifts that aren't iTunes-related). [Dick Smith via OzBargain]
Sony Offering Google TV In Australia
Google likes to take its time releasing products in Australia. I saw the original launch of Google TV back in May 2010, but it's only now that we're seeing a device that can run the Web-on-your-TV platform in Australia.

I would be sitting in class at Pensacola Junior College when suddenly I felt strangely elated for no apparent reason. Right before feeling this way, I would be thinking about the heavy load of classes I was taking that semester.
My thoughts were usually daunting. Admittedly, taking a full load of 19 credit hours in one semester, while working a full-time job, was a rather ambitious challenge.
Oddly, instead of my dreadful thought patterns triggering negative emotions, I initially felt euphoric, almost like I was mentally floating on an inexplicable high. The euphoria lasted for only a ...

Founded in 1998, the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition (LACBC) works to make our local communities fun, safe, and healthy places to ride a bike.
News and Events
With the time change in early November, the 2014-2015 season of Operation Firefly is under way with bike light distributions all across the County! Team Firefly has already distributed lights in North Hollywood, Pacoima, and Atwater.
Thank you to the Laemmle Charitable Foundation for its sponsorship of the season.
We'd also like to thank our Team Firefly volunteers for distributing lights and bringing light to riders!
Volunteer for Operation Firefly
Join Team Firefly and volunteer to help distribute lights throughout the season and throughout the County. We have a lot more Operation Firefly distributions planned for January and February, so we're going to need a lot more volunteer help. If you're interested in volunteering and you've been thinking about helping with Operation Firefly, now is the time. Please sign up here.
Donate to Operation Firefly and Help It Grow
Operation Firefly is an education and bike light distribution program intended to make sure people riding bikes in Los Angeles are riding safely at night. According to 2012 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 48% of bicyclist fatalities in the U.S. were at night and 69% were in urban areas. The importance of night-time visibility for bicyclists is clear.
Help make this season of Operation Firefly bigger and better, so we can reach even more night-time bicycle riders. Last winter, we served 1,000 people during the Operation Firefly season. This year, we want to double that number to 2,000 people, county-wide. This means more street distributions, more lights and materials, and more funding that will be needed. Help us meet our expenses for running the Operation Firefly program.
There are several fun levels at which you can join Team Firefly and receive a premium - buy a set of lights and give a set for $25. Or, buy a set, give a set, and get an Operation Firefly bicycling cap for $50. You can also make a general donation to the Operation Firefly program. No amount is too small, or too large! Every donation helps and we need your help. Give the gift of light today!

Update: September 18, 2014: Earlier today, LACBC filed a public records request with the District Attorney's office to determine whether Lacey has ever pressed charges for vehicular manslaughter in any case, not just Olin's. When people walking and bicycling (and driving) are killed almost every day in Los Angeles County due to distracted, aggressive, or negligent driving, all relevant agencies must do their part to reduce traffic violence. We continue to invite Lacey to host a town hall with us to hear from victims of traffic violence and discuss ways that her office can partner with law enforcement and the community to end this epidemic.
Update September 11, 2014: Yesterday afternoon, LACBC received a response from District Attorney Jackie Lacey to our September 3rd letter requesting reconsideration of criminal charges against the Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy who hit and killed prominent entertainment attorney Milt Olin while he was riding in a bike lane during broad daylight on December 8th, 2013. This case has drawn widespread media attention due to Olin's high profile and the involvement of a sheriff's deputy.
The District Attorney's office is maintaining its position that there is not enough evidence to convict Deputy Andrew Wood of vehicular manslaughter, despite the fact that he was texting in the minutes leading up to the collision and, while typing into his mobile digital computer (MDC), left his lane, entered the bike lane, and struck Olin from behind. As outlined in our letter, vehicular manslaughter charges require evidence of negligent driving, defined as driving in an illegal manner, or in an otherwise legal manner which might produce death. That Wood failed to maintain control of his vehicle while distracted, engaged in a task that he knew to be "inherently unsafe" according to department training, and killed a man as a consequence of his actions, is evidently not enough for Lacey to press charges.
LACBC believes that Lacey is wrong in her analysis of this case, and that her failure to prosecute puts the lives of everyone who travels Los Angeles County's streets at risk. In her response, she fails to distinguish between intent (no one is accusing Wood of intending to kill Olin) and negligence. In fact, her response fails to set any kind of minimum duty of care for drivers to not engage in behavior that is likely to kill.
Every traffic death is both tragic and unnecessary. When someone is killed or seriously injured on our streets, every contributory factor deserves consideration so that future deaths can be prevented: the design of the street, mechanical failure, and, most importantly, the behavior of all involved. When people walking and bicycling (and driving) are killed almost every day in Los Angeles County due to distracted, aggressive, or negligent driving, all relevant agencies must do their part to reduce traffic violence. The District Attorney is responsible for prosecuting individuals for behaviors that put our communities at risk, and using the threat of prosecution as a deterrent to others who might engage in the same behaviors. Our culture has decided to tolerate traffic violence. That acceptance of near-daily death, as if it were an inevitable cost of mobility, leads to insensitivity or outright hostility toward those most at risk--so-called "vulnerable road users"--including people walking and bicycling. In Milt Olin's case, we are now witnessing a failure of our criminal justice system to protect victims of violence.
We cannot accept that traffic violence is OK and we cannot stay silent when our criminal justice system fails to protect victims. If the District Attorney won't prosecute a case as clear-cut as Olin's death, every potential victim of traffic violence is less safe. What happens when the facts of the case aren't as clear? When a mom is hit crossing the street with her kids in Hollywood? Or a youth riding on the sidewalk in South L.A.?
We invite Lacey to host a town hall with us to hear from victims of traffic violence and discuss ways that her office can partner with law enforcement and the community to end this epidemic.
Please make sure your voice is heard. Please write to District Attorney Lacey to let her know that our lives matter.
September 4, 2014: Last week we learned that the L.A. County District Attorney's Office would not be pressing charges against the sheriff's deputy who struck and killed Milt Olin in Calabasas last December. The sheriff's deputy was typing on his mobile computer in his patrol car when he struck Olin at 48 miles per hour. Olin, a prominent entertainment attorney and former executive for Napster, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Last night, Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition, Yield to Life, and the Ghost Bike Foundation hosted a ride and vigil for Milt Olin to call on the D.A. to revisit the investigation and consider pressing charges. Thank you to the 120 people who came out. Some met us at the start in Calabasas, some at the L.A. Zoo, some in Grand Park by the Criminal Courts Building, a few at other points along the route--but it was all for the same purpose: to demand justice for Milt and to make our streets safer for all road users.
Many local media outlets (CBS, NBC, ABC, Los Angeles Times, Daily News, Los Angeles Register, Thousand Oaks Acorn, Streetsblog Los Angeles) covered the ride and interviewed the attendees about why they came. Several had stories of motorists hitting them while biking and being moved to participate in the ride and vigil to convey that this is enough. You can see photos from the ride and vigil on our Facebook page and read Tweets with the hashtag #RideForMilt.
Attendees also signed a banner addressed to District Attorney Lacey, urging her to revisit the case and adding personal stories of why this case matters. After submitting our letter to the District Attorney yesterday, we aim to get this banner to her. We also encourage you all to contact the District Attorney's Office as well.

Subject: Please File Charges; DA Case #34210485
Dear District Attorney Lacey,
Those of us that bike and walk on streets in Los Angeles County are at tremendous risk of becoming victims of traffic violence. In fact, nearly 40% of those killed on LA County streets are bicyclists and pedestrians, triple the national average. This is a problem with many causes, but not least is the role of negligent, distracted and aggressive driving. Milt Olin's death hits very close to home for me. He was doing absolutely everything right: riding correctly in a bike lane in broad daylight. In contrast, the person who killed him was doing everything wrong: typing on a computer, texting his wife, speeding, and ultimately veering into the bike lane and hitting Milt from behind. As a result, Milt is no longer alive, leaving a grieving wife and two sons who will likely never feel comfortable riding a bike on the road ever again.
As a community, it is critical that we work in a coordinated effort to reduce traffic violence. It is one of the leading causes of death for all age groups and communities across the county. We all must do our part to behave responsibly while driving or riding, and support infrastructure changes to our streets to make them safer for all. Your decision not to prosecute Milt's killer undermines all of our hard work to make our streets safe and humane. As a result, we can no longer feel safe to move about our communities--no different than if you had chosen not to prosecute any other violent criminal.
It is not too late to correct this injustice. Please reconsider your decision and file charges in this case so that those of us that bike and walk can again feel that we are protected by the justice system.

The Three Feet for Safety Act went into effect on September 16, 2014. The law requires motorists to give at least three feet of clearance when passing a bicyclist traveling in the same direction. The previous law required motorists to pass bicyclists while keeping a "safe distance." The new law defines "safe distance" as three feet. If not enough space is available, the motorist must slow down and pass when no danger is present to the bicyclist.
One key to making the new law effective is to make sure the driving public knows about it. LACBC has collaborated with AAA, Wire Media, and CalBike to create an "I Give 3 Feet" graphic for use to publicize the new law. This graphic can be downloaded from Wire Media here. We encourage all media outlets (big or small), bicycle groups, and interested parties to download and utilize this graphic, along with the associated bullet points about the law.
Key points to include with the Three Feet for Safety Act graphic are:
- The previous law required motorists to pass bicyclists while keeping a "safe distance."
- This new law defines "safe distance" as three feet when passing bicyclists traveling in the same direction.
- If not enough space is available, the motorist must slow down and pass when no danger is present to the bicyclist.
- Violators will face a $35 fine, as well as a $220 fine if a collision occurs.
- Law took effect September 16, 2014.
AAA has printed 10,000 window clings for public distribution utilizing the same graphic, and their roadside assistance will be handing out tip cards with the graphic starting in September. Our partners at CalBike are also offering two sticker designs to help promote the new law. You can request the window clings and the CalBike stickers directly from CalBike by following this link: https://calbike.org/bulkgiveme3form
Our work with AAA and CalBike is made possible thanks to the support of LACBC members and donors. Not a member? Become an LACBC member or make a donation today.
And the award for Outstanding Commute to the Emmys goes to. . . Tom Smuts of Mad Men! The writer-producer may not have biked away with a golden statue (he was nominated as a producer of Mad Men for Outstanding Drama Series), but this LACBC member won many accolades for riding his bike to the Emmys today. (He just beat out talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, who took the subway in.)
For the first time in over 40 years, the annual television awards show was held on a Monday evening (instead of a Sunday), meaning that both Emmys traffic and regular weekday rush hour traffic would be converging at the Nokia Theatre in Downtown L.A. Mr. Smuts, who commutes by bike to his work several times a week, decided that he wanted to bike to the Emmys to show that it is possible to bike anywhere in anything and that it is so much fun. He did just that, riding 17 miles from his home in Santa Monica to Downtown L.A.
Mr. Smuts rode out with a mix of family and friends and folks from LACBC, the City of Los Angele Bicycle Advisory Committee, amd Mayor Garcetti's office, who were stylishly outfitted in clothing from Rapha and riding trusty Tern folding bikes. Some steps we took to ensure that we looked their best for the red carpet: starting early so that we could ride at an easy pace, planning out a route beforehand that utilized bike infrastructure and calm streets (we took both streets with bike infrastructure like 4th St. and 7th St., as well as streets with proposed bike infrastructure like San Vicente and 6th St. in the Mid-City area), wearing clothing that both looked good and felt comfortable, carrying the proper tools to keep our bikes running and ourselves looking good, having pit stops (like the one at Loyola Law School) to freshen up at. We also had to improvise a bit, as we perhaps enjoyed ourselves too much at the beginning of the ride and had to speed it up towards the end to make it on time.
Mr. Smuts did make it in time to walk the red carpet this evening and looked dapper in his suit and bike helmet.
While not everyone will ride 17 miles every day, this ride reminds us of the possibilities of riding in our city. Bike to work, bike to school, bike to the grocery store, bike to a fancy awards show with the biggest names in television. Los Angeles is a biking city, and there is no event you can't ride to here. Plus, biking as a group to an event is the best kind of pre-party!
Thank you to Tom Smuts, his family, the Los Angeles Bicycle Advisory Committee, Mayor Garcetti's Office, Loyola Law School, the Television Academy, Rapha, and Tern.
You can check out some highlights from the ride on Twitter (#bike2emmys) and see photos on Facebook. Branimir Kvartuc also put together this great video.

Action Alert: Hyperion Bridge Sidewalk at Risk for Removal
The long saga of the Hyperion Avenue Viaduct, connecting Silver Lake and Atwater Village over the Los Angeles River, continues. As Streetsblog reported earlier this month, the city's traffic studies show that the most progressive option (two sidewalks, buffered bike lanes and a three-lane road diet) move cars just as effectively as the current four-lane configuration. This option is safer for everyone, maintains pedestrian access and dramatically improves conditions for bicyclists. The Hyperion Citizens Advisory Committee, including representatives from LACBC and Los Angeles Walks, voted 6 to 3 in support of this option.
Yet a vocal contingent in Atwater refuses to let the facts carry the day, potentially derailing the best option for the bridge. Councilmember Tom LaBonge has already announced his opposition to a livable bridge, citing disproved claims about traffic delays and truck routes.
Now is the time for biking, walking and traffic safety advocates to be heard. Please send emails in support of Option 3 to Councilmembers LaBonge and O'Farrell, Mayor Garcetti and the Board of Public Works. A sample message is below:
To: firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
CC: email@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com
BCC: firstname.lastname@example.com
Subject: Save the Hyperion Bridge Sidewalk: Support Option 3
Dear Councilmembers LaBonge and O'Farrell,
I support Option 3 for the Hyperion Viaduct, which preserves sidewalks on both sides of the bridge and adds buffered bike lanes so that people can walk and bike between Silver Lake and Atwater Village in safety and comfort. Even though this option reduces a downhill traffic lane, city studies show that this road diet will not have any impact on traffic. Option 3 is the safest alternative, provides the most mobility for all residents and will let people walk and bike to a revitalized Los Angeles River that is currently inaccessible for many Angelenos. No other option provides all of these benefits for a more livable Los Angeles.
Please support Option 3 to have buffered bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides of Hyperion.

TIRR patient compelled to help others
By Erica Quiroz | February 17, 2012 | Updated: January 7, 2013 7:51pm
Photo By Memorial Hermann FoundationStaman Ogilvie, center, launched a rehab and research fund to assist his doctors at TIRR, including Gerard Francisco, left, and Dong Kim.

Photo By Smiley N. PoolPatient Earl Franklin works with rehabilitation staff on a Therastride machine at TIRR Memorial Hermann Rehabilitation Hospital.
On a training ride in 2009, cyclist Staman Ogilvie hit a parked car and broke his neck.
Ogilvie doesn't recall the accident; he's focused on the road back to recovery.
"I spent three weeks in surgery and recuperation, one month as an inpatient at TIRR (The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research) and six more months as an outpatient," the Hines executive said.
"In theory, I should have no feeling or mobility below my chest. In practice, I am developing some muscle movement in areas where I was not expected to do so. As a result, I look forward to my continuing physical therapy - swimming, aerobic machines and electric stimulation - each day. I am keeping myself in shape to be a good candidate for future healing protocols."
After his experience at TIRR Memorial Hermann, Ogilvie wanted to help others in his situation. With his friends and family, he launched the Staman Ogilvie Fund for Spinal Cord Injury Recovery, Rehabilitation and Research to assist patients who have been afflicted by spinal-cord injury, brain injury or neurological disorders that traumatically disrupt their lives.
"Soon after my injury, my wife and I felt as though we needed to do something for our own peace of mind, as well as for the recovery prospects of mine and of the many others who suffer from this affliction. Having many friends who wanted to do something to help, we thought it seemed natural to raise money for research and rehab."
The Ogilvie Fund's goal is to raise $10 million for innovative research to restore function for spinal-cord injury patients through adult stem cell therapy.
"In appreciation to Memorial Hermann and TIRR for that which they had salvaged in our lives, we joined their Campaign for Neuroscience.
"While we might have chosen to invest research funds elsewhere, there are a number of very good reasons that we thought it should be done with the skilled doctors and researchers in the Texas Medical Center."
The Ogilvie Fund has raised $6 million.
"The pace at which we have raised money so far is quite gratifying," he said. "But my greatest enjoyment has come from interaction with the scientists we are hiring and supporting to do their important work restoring neurological systems. They are smart and very focused on clinical processes that will restore function in the intermediate term. Their work and my close involvement with them makes me feel as though I am helping accomplish something for all those who suffer brain and spiral cord debilitation."
"I think we will accomplish real healing."

So it's that time to get back to school, start getting all of your stationary. You know pens, penicls, knifes, rulers, wait what!
I shit you not, this was a picture taken in Tesco by a friend, what the fuck Tesco, made my day.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I just started up college again and moved out of my parents and into an apartment, so I had to buy a full set of kitchenware including knives..... haha

@Dagbiker said:Why are you back to school shoping in a gas stationI'm wondering the same thing.
That's a very big gas station...
Anyway, I'd guess that it's just some horribly misplaced signs and items. I'd hope.
I don't know what Tesco is. Is it a not American thing?
Lidl had the same thing only their knives came in a camel stomach.
And they say American schools are violent.
"Made in Portugal with German steel"
Tesco is the supermarket. It's like a near-walmart, but not quite as much. ASDA is technically walmart, but over here, it's just a cheaper Tesco. And Sainsbury's is a more expensive Tesco. And then Waitrose is a more expensive Sainsbury's.
Supermarkets. You may have heard of them.

This picture has been posted on the internet for weeks (I saw it like a month ago on 9gag). Not saying that your friend wasn't the person to take it, just that it's been around a long while.
If you think about it, this is actually a brilliant move. They know some of the kids get stabby when it's time to go to school again...Wanna kill your classmates? Come to Tesco's, where we have all the knifes you'll ever need!
Dear confused Americans: replace 'Tesco' with Walmart.
Not to sound like a dick, but President Choice is a Canadian brand, a Canadian brand which belongs to Loblaws which, in turn, is a Canadian company. Tesco isn't part of the Loblaws banner, and I'm pretty sure they do not have any stores in Canada to start with (either that or I've never heard nor seen of them), that means they would have had to gone to a different country to steal and put up those signs.
Still freaking hilarious, and I'm saying that as a Department Manager of a Loblaws store.

lol, fair assessment. Also, Waitrose shoppers go to M&S for their bits at the weekend. You can't do your big shop at M&S, too small.
From what I have experienced of US Walmart - They are a lot bigger stores generally and a little more low rent. They also have a lot worse reputation.
That isn't a Tesco. For a start, those are "President's Choice" knives, a brand of loblaw companies limited, a Canadian supermarket company. The POS tickets also look nothing like Tesco's. And Nestea (the stand you see to the right of the knives) is a brand of ice tea not available in the UK. And there is a French translation on the stand, and there's no need for that to be there on a British sign.
Also, that picture has been posted all over the internet for at least a couple of weeks. Probably more.
Also, regardless of whether or not your friend took this picture in a Tesco, posting a random funny image with little text to accompany it is spam. It doesn't promote discussion. Giant Bomb is not Reddit.
I think you see where this is going.

Yankees re-sign Freddy Garcia to one-year, $5 million deal
Nov 24, 2011, 12:28 PM EDT
Freddy Garcia and the Yankees have agreed to a one-year, $5 million contract, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com.
Garcia proved to be a tremendous bargain for New York this year, winning a rotation spot in the spring training after signing for a minor-league deal and throwing 147 innings with a 3.62 ERA that was his best since 2001.
As part of that contract Garcia earned $1.5 million in guaranteed money and another $3 million or so in incentives, so he'll get a light raise and significantly more upfront cash at age 35.
Barring a trade the Yankees' rotation looks set with Garcia joining CC Sabathia, Ivan Nova, A.J. Burnett, and Phil Hughes
- dirtyharry1971 - Nov 24, 2011 at 1:39 PM
why? dumb move if i ever saw one
- dan1111 - Nov 25, 2011 at 5:27 AM
It could possibly be a dumb move by Garcia. Someone else might have paid him more money. But it was a great move by the Yankees. Garcia has always been solid when healthy. What team doesn't need a solid, average starter?
- henryd3rd - Nov 25, 2011 at 8:37 AM
Its a Win Win for Garcia.
- pjmarn6 - Nov 25, 2011 at 2:33 PM
History has shown that 95% of baseball players are through at 35-36-37 especially pitchers. Average time of a player in baseball is a little over 5 years. A performance contract was a necessity. Another 5 million down the drain.
- cowboysoldiertx - Nov 24, 2011 at 1:40 PM
Low risk move really! Whats 5 mil to the bombers anyway!
- dirtyharry1971 - Nov 24, 2011 at 4:34 PM
if they needed a #5 starter id say fine but they need a #2 and this guy simply isnt that
- Kevin S. - Nov 24, 2011 at 6:06 PM
Teams typically need more than five starters. Yankees aren't done shopping.
- dan1111 - Nov 25, 2011 at 5:37 AM
The Yankees have more than one question mark in their rotation. Hughes was terrible last year, and Burnett has pitched poorly for two straight years. As long as Garcia is healthy, there will be plenty of innings for him to fill. And this signing says nothing about whether the Yankees plan to go after a higher-level starter.
- bigjimatch - Nov 24, 2011 at 3:33 PM
Yea baby! Start printing those World Series tickets!
- henryd3rd - Nov 25, 2011 at 8:47 AM
Now that's being a little premature; but if they play as well as they did last year I'll be happy to watch them so as to take my mind off the every day troubles of the world.
- pisano - Nov 25, 2011 at 9:49 AM
Hopefully this is a small piece of the puzzle to improve the rotation. The bigger piece is yet to come, and if Yankee fans are lucky it will include the trading of AJ Burnett, supposedly there have been a few teams inquiring about him. Heaven help those teams inquiring about AJ, as the saying goes, " be careful what you wish for "
- lazlosother - Nov 25, 2011 at 12:09 PM
AJ won't be traded. NY would have to eat a significant portion of his contract to move him, and they have a history of not doing that. NY has him for 2 more seasons and he will start, or come out of the bullpen for middle relief.
I don't think we will see a bigger piece this year unless Cashman can work a trade. It seems more likely we see a similar short term signing for Colon. Noesi may get a shot at the rotation as well.
- anxovies - Nov 25, 2011 at 8:21 PM
Who would trade for him at $15 million for the next 2 years? He will end up in the bullpen before the Yankees will eat any significant portion of his contract.
- cusoman - Nov 25, 2011 at 2:00 PM
Why is the resigning of ANY Yankee always a "Top Story" on this site?
- anxovies - Nov 25, 2011 at 8:26 PM
Because nobody cares about the other teams.

If you're not living on the edge you're taking up too much space!
Hey, Hola, Howdy, Namaste! Something about me: Between the frigid weather, work, play, running n online shopping for a fireplace mantle, I thought I'd give online dating a shot. Writing about me may be like writing a long story about 4 lives in one, but I'll try to keep it concise. I've lived in three other countries before coming to the US. After completing my literate education and a few years of work n play in good ole Indiana; I decided to move to "better" n bigger ventures, increased traffic, numerous potholes, and to a place where there are more speed cameras than the population of India! Moving to Chicago over 5 years ago, fulfilled perhaps a childhood dream. I love the Windy City, and the things it has to offer. I spend my free time discovering the city, taking aimless walks, trying out fine dining to hole in the wall restaurants, shoveling snow in sub Chiberian temperatures, reading relevant information, working out, training for marathons, and hanging out with friends. I enjoy the short but sweet summers, festivals and the sports mania of the city. I live to travel, and take one big trip abroad, & a few domestic through the year. I love what life has to offer, and will try anything at least once. Some of my friends say that I've an attitude of never say never, and always look at life through the half full prism. Most of my friends say I'm honest, intelligent, genuine, fun, charming and the guy who'll go the extra mile. Lastly, I'm a bit of a news junkie :) A few things about her: I'm looking for someone who is fun, open minded, level headed, optimistic, genuine, hard working, faithful and honest. Well if it fits, it ships!

It ranges from downtown bars to neighborhood pubs. I'm also a foodie, and love to try out anything from fine dining to hole in the wall restaurants, with good variety of American or any ethnic food. No tomatoes please.
Anything goes
Run, workout, watch movies and occasionally play tennis. In my free time, I may read, plan a DIY home project, or hangout with friends.

Tangled would be a perfect fit for the FL. I'd prefer then rename it to Rapunzel but that's just me still being bitter that they changed the name in the first place.
Either way, that's going to be a lot less crowding in the parks with this new area open and not used to meet and greets. That's always good news.
